    Summary

    "Of course Tokai Teio decided to enter the Wakagoma Stakes. Of course she decided to make victory impossible for me. I mean, that's what you get to do when you're a main character, right? You get to take all the glory, and all us side characters get to do is sit around in the background and applaud."

    Nice Nature, do you really think you're a side character? Come on now, Natie, you're not a side character.

    Side characters don't get stuck in time loops.

    Summary

    "I've been emailing to this girl from Japan for about 2 years now. Dunno much about her- just that she don't get outside much, too absorbed in her research. They're definitely a Horse Girl, though." I said to my Da before I left.
    He grunted. "I guess you want to meet her and train 'er, lad. Just remember my rule - don't bloody bed them."
    "Aye, sir. I'll write to you, Da, on the 'puter every week from Uncle Saito's place."
    "You better remember my rules, son. Look your best, don't get drunk, and don't get in anyone's bed but your own. Never failed me once!"
    "...what about Ma?"
    "...shut your mouth, child."
    We had a good laugh about that.
    "Just remember - they'll come and go. Can't get too attached to them."

    Summary

    “And what about your husband Hideyoshi?” Teio asked. “I know you said he was doing accounting work with the local businesses. Is he still in that business, or—”

    Ten sets of chopsticks stopped moving in sequence across the restaurant.

    Nature's smile crumpled. “He died, Teio.”


    More than two decades after the miracle at the Arima Kinen, a coincidence brings Tracen Academy trainer Tokai Teio through the doors of Nice Nature's restaurant. But a coincidence isn't what brings an ordinary woman and her former crush closer than ever before.

    Only pain could do that. Pain, and the urge to keep running, no matter how bad it gets.

    Summary

    For the festival, Ms Takahashi wants them all to write a little introduction to themselves and their family, using a few of the kanji they’d been learning, and even draw a picture to go along with it. Ms Takahashi says they’ll put the finished drawings and writings all over the school on the day of the festival, so people walking around can stop to read them and learn a bit about all the different sorts of families in Inaba.

    She draws a picture of herself, with her big bro and Dad, and she doesn’t know how to explain that her big bro is actually her cousin, but really her big bro, so she just leaves his label at ‘brother’. She doesn’t know how to explain about Mom either, so she just draws her with big angel wings and a halo, floating off the ground.

    She wonders if she should put Teddie and Chie and Yosuke and the others on it too, but she’s not sure what names there are for those kinds of family members.

    In which Nanako's school hosts the arts festival unusually early, Nanako auditions for the school play, and things turn out slightly different than they usually would.
