What the?
What was that?
Who is this girl?
A bunch of people have sent us
their summer-related problems,
and today, we'll try to
find solutions for them
with the four of us!
You've come to the right place!
Let's hear your problems!
Do you have anything
bothering you?
It's hot.
Of course it is!
That's true.
What about you, Miosha?
Well...
I'm kind of confused about
why we're wearing swimsuits
for giving advice.
You're right! Why is that?
I mean, they're cute swimsuits, but still.
They're cute, right?
Right?
They are!
We've got quite a nice
color palette among the four of us.
You're right!
Well, I heard there's actually a
reason we're wearing swimsuits.
Supposedly we'll find out
sooner or later.
Tell us now! Tell us now!
Tell us now! Tell us now!
Tell us now!
Stop putting Miosha in a
tough spot, kids.
With that out of the way,
let's take a look at the submissions!
Consultation Topic
Pimp My Summer
This first one is from
a college student.
"My student life so far has been
plain and unfulfilling."
Wow, you're even acting
out their voice.
"However, now that I've entered college,
I want to leave my boring self behind
and lead a fun campus life!"
I see.
"That's why I think I need to give myself
a makeover this summer break!
This is where my question
for you comes in.
What would be a better makeover:
dyeing my hair,
or getting a tan?
Please let me know what you think!"
So they're changing their look
coming out of summer break.
(Schools start in spring in Japan)
It seems so. They've been in
college for 2-3 months,
and now want to make a
change during summer.
I see.
So we need to decide on an answer,
and I think there was a way of
voting between A and B
by standing between two tiles and
jumping on the one you choose.
That's awfully detailed, isn't it?
Oh! There they are!
Let's line up in the middle.
Aye, aye, Sir!
Form a line.
A is "dye your hair"!
And B is "get a tan"!
Which do you think is best?
Let's jump on the count of three!
Ready? One, two...
Three!
This side!
Mio-chan?
Huh?
Miosha?
What's going on here?
You look a bit lonely over there.
I feel bad for her so I'm switching!
Hey, Korone!
Then I'm going over there too!
You too, Subaru?
This side is for dyeing hair, you know.
I feel bad for Okayu now.
Stop running around!
We can't decide on
an answer like this!
But before we get to that,
can you tell us why you picked
dyeing hair, Korone?
Huh? Well, when you dye your hair,
it really changes how you look.
You immediately see the
difference, right?
Like, you'd go "What happened?!"
if I dyed my hair blonde.
Well, yeah.
So changing your appearance.
Yeah.
And why would you
get a tan instead?
In order to get a sun tan,
you have to go to the beach!
And!
When you get to the beach,
there'll be tons of people!
Which means you can
make tons of friends!
I'm starting to regret my choice.
Subaru-chan,
you can also sunbathe
on your veranda.
I think Okayu might have
a different idea.
Her face says she couldn't
make friends there.
Well, the thing is,
this person didn't make a change
after getting into college, right?
That means they need
that final push.
And when you bask in sunlight
you release all these happy hormones.
So through the power of the sun,
you gain the courage to change yourself
and get a tan at the same time.
So, like, photosynthesis?!
Wow!
I'm not sure about that...
Why not?
It makes sense, no?
It does, but, you know...
Wait, Korone!
Why did you switch sides?!
Koro-san! ♥
You tell us your opinion, Miosha.
Yeah.
Well, I was thinking that if you
want to change your image,
you need something that
stands out, like dyed hair.
Besides, you don't need to spend
your summer tanning.
You can also do that in a sports club.
True that.
So, like, I'm the minority then?
I guess that means the tan wins.
Really?
Do we agree on that?
Not so fast.
Make up your mind already!
Not so fast.
What do you want?
It's no fun if it goes this easily!
What do you mean, it's no fun?
It's no fun! It's just no fun!
The way she's acting...
Is she an imposter?
Something's off, yeah.
I also want to stand out!
She's up to something.
Sus!ඞ
Korone sus!ඞ
Korone sus!ඞ
If we stay tied like this,
we won't be able to
solve the problem!
What do we do?
What now, Miosha?
It's Koro-san's fault, though.
She's determined about this now.
Oh, that's right.
There is something we have to do
for resolving stalemates like this.
Apparently we have to
settle it with butt sumo!
Oh, butt sumo!
Look how "surprised" she is.
Korone sus!ඞ Korone sus!ඞ
It's not what you think!
I really didn't know!
You were planning this all along!
I wasn't! This is the
first time I hear of it.
Each side will put forward
a contestant.
You want to do it, right?
I do!
Go get her. Go get her!
Koro-san is strong, so...
I don't wanna!
Do you want my butt to explode?!
You'll be fine.
So it's a butt sumo battle between
Korone and Subaru!
Okay, will both contestants
please enter the ring?
Okay!
Go for it!
Good luck!
Ooh, looking tough!
Oh no! She's gonna kick me
right off, isn't she?
Who will win?
I'm not! This is my first time!
The rules are pretty simple.
Firstly, you have to stay inside the ring.
Secondly, you can't use your hands.
Are you ready?
Okay!
Right. Now then, commence... the battle!
Ooh! You got this!
Nice one! Yaaay!
I did it!
WINNER
Team B's Oozora Subaru
Miosha, I lost!
It's okay.
😢😢😢
Turns out she's small fry.
What a weakling!
Miosha...!
There, there.
That was scawy, huh?
I was so scared...
Apparently you scared her.
Oh no. I accidentally intimidated
someone with my booty.
What have I done?
Your have a scary butt.
Quite the intimidating presence.
So team B won, which means:
Dear college student who
sent the submission,
get a tan for your
new look this summer!
Try it out!
Try it out!
Consultation Topic
New Summer, New Me
This next one
is from an office worker.
"I'm an office worker that
started three years ago.
Until now, I've spent my free days
lazing around at home,
but for this year's summer break,
I want to get out of my comfort zone
and try something new.
Should I meditate under a waterfall
or go bungee jumping?"
Wow!
Have you done either of these?
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Have you?
What? No!
No, huh?
No?
No way!
Which would you prefer to try?
Just personal preference?
Yeah.
The waterfall!
I'd also go with the waterfall.
Fall real?
"Fall real"?
What kind of...
Fall real?
Bungeeriously?
Oh, but if you think about the...
Let's just vote first.
Good point.
True.
We might get a majority.
Yeah!
A is waterfall meditation.
B is bungee jumping.
Is everyone in position?
Ready, set,
bungee!
We're split!
The vote's split!
Can you walk us through
why this happened?
I'll say my thoughts first.
With waterfall meditation...
Well, don't get me wrong, but...
I wouldn't go bungee jumping
if my life depended on it.
But I think waterfall meditation is really just
like those "showers" in a pool.
Those things that splash water on you.
Compared to that,
bungee jumping is sure to
freak you out before you jump.
You need to muster the courage
to take the leap,
so in terms of that,
bungee jumping would be way more
effective in changing your life
and you can boast about it
to your colleagues.
Mio-chan, bungee jumping is on this side.
What?!
I thought something wasn't adding up!
Why are you over there?
Bungee is over here, Miosha.
It seems I was on the wrong tile.
It's unanimous! Yay!
Bungee! Bungee!
So, good luck with bungee jumping!
Yes! In conclusion,
dear office worker, we think it's better
to go bungee jumping
for this summer break.
Hopefully that'll help with your decision!
I did a little oopsie woopsie.
More than a little.
Oh deary me.
Cute!

This next question apparently comes
as a video submission!
Let's take a look.
I wonder who sent it.
Please play the video!
Hello everyone in SMOK!
Noe-chan!
All hustle, all muscle!
It's hololive 3rd Gen's Shirogane Noel!
hololive 3rd Gen
Shirogane Noel
There is something I just
have to ask you.
What is it?
Would you rather eat
a watermelon or a melon on a hot day?
I start drooling just thinking
about them.
Just pick whatever.
That's all!
Pick whichever you like!
Eat whatever you want!
Do you think she had
a watermelon and a melon
under her shirt?
Those are pretty different in size, though.
I guess she didn't, then.
Subaru-chan, stop her!
Hold on, I'm—
That came out of nowhere!
I didn't think Miosha would
start making jokes!
M-Miosha?!
I got so confused I couldn't think of anything!
Anyways!
Is it better to eat watermelon or
melon on a hot day?
Think about your answer.
Actually, Miosha,
there are watermelons that are—
Don't interrupt our MC!
Can't you see she's explaining?!
I just wanted to correct myself!
I see.
I wanted to say there are watermelons
the size of melons.
I'm scared, Okayun.
Switch places with me.
Yeah, there's a lot of different sizes.
Anyway, let's line up again.
Go right ahead!
Let's get in line.
This side is watermelon. A is watermelon.
B is melon.
Let's go ahead and vote!
Ready, and, this side!
Oh! We tied!
Go, Miosha!
It's time to duel!
I want to debate first!
You're going too fast.
Oh, okay.
Can you first tell us why
you chose watermelon,
watermelon ambassador Subaru-san?
As watermelon ambassador,
I think that
summer and watermelon are inseparable.
They belong together.
It's probably even used
in seasonal poetry.
Right?
I can imagine that.
Also,
watermelon has more
water in it, so—
Stop flirting!
We're listening.
Listen when people are talking!
We're listening.
When you salt it and eat it,
you can also prevent heatstrokes.
Yes, that's right.
Miosha, I don't like this!
Tell them to stop, Miosha!
Don't stand like that.
The front camera can't get a
good view that way!
Oh! So like this?
Yeah, just like that!
That's not what I meant!
Producer?
That's not it, Miosha!
Why isn't anyone listening to me?!
So, why did you two pick
melon instead?
Are you just ignoring me now?!
Please tell us...
I wasn't finished, Miosha!
Well, we have to keep
the show moving.
Oh, okay.
Is Korone okay?
She can't stop laughing.
Oh, I see.
Koro-san's kind of busy,
so I'll answer first.
She looks like she's lost all hope.
She hasn't!
I see.
For me, it has to be because
melon tastes better!
Well, that's just, like,
your opinion, man!
You stole that line, didn't you?
Miosha! Tell her to stop, Miosha!
They're her words as the
watermelon ambassador.
Where's that quote from?
I'll let you know I'm hololive's
watermelon ambassador!
Koro-san, are you OK?
I am...
Korone, why did you choose melons?
I used to dislike melons, ya?
Oh, you did?
"Ya"?
Yeah.
But I tried one the other day,
and it made me realize they're delicious.
I see.
I still like watermelons too,
but I'd have to go with melons now.
Because watermelons are, you know,
like a watered down version.
Just stop.
That's enough.
Melons are pure melon,
but watermelons are watered down.
Butt sumo! Butt sumo!
Let's just settle it with butt sumo!
Let's decide with butt sumo!
Yeah, this conversation is
getting us nowhere.
Since you're the watermelon ambassador,
I guess you want to go?
I would, but I suffered a rear-end
injury during my previous fight.
You still won, though.
Go get 'em, Miosha!
This feels like I got summoned
like a P*kémon, but sure.
I choose you, Okayu!
Use Rump Bump!
Miosha, use Evade!
Turn the other way!
The other way!
Butt Sumo Battle
Okayu!
Miosha!
Count us down!
Okayu!
Wait, why are you facing her? Turn around!
You took your sweet time, Subaru-chan!
Korone was distracting me
with her weird dance!
I didn't even realize!
You have to watch both of us!
Why single me out?!
Do it again! I didn't notice either.
Okayu, turn around!
You can't fight that way, can you?
Okay, that wasn't funny at all.
I'm sorry.
What is going on here?!
Anyway, let's do this!
You can do it, Miosha!
I'll give it my best shot!
Ready... Start!
Winners strike first!
MIOSHAAA!
Yaaay!
WINNER
Team B's Nekomata Okayu
I did it, Koro-san!
Miosha, what was that?!
Miosha, that...
that was a fluke, right?
I didn't stand a chance!
Winners strike first!
You should see for yourself.
Fine, I will!
But you already know that
I'll go for a blitz attack.
Maybe you won't do it this time.
No need to hold back.
Subaru can take it.
Could you not encourage her, Miosha?
You'll make her send my butt
flying across the ocean.
Time to destroy Subaru's butt!
Don't do it!
Get wrecked!
Really?! You don't say that to people.
Miosha, tell her to stop!
She's verbally abusing me!
Give her a red card!
Okay, time to start.
Ready, start!
Winners strike first!
Again! Again!

Team B's Nekomata Okayu
That sent a shockwave through me.
She's crazy strong.
That actually hurt.
You try it too, Korone.
Feel what it's like.
What? Me too?
Here?
Fight!
No, turn around!
Oh, so this way.
NOT YOU!
It's butt sumo!
Just get to it already!
Okay, I got it.
NOT THAT WAY!
I'm dying...
This is too much...
No more!
Sorry, Subaru-chan!
No more...
I'm sorry, I'll do it for real!
No more, please...
What do we even have those rules for?
Should we just
move on to the conclusion?
Yeah, let's do that.
Let's move on.
All right.
That's enough of that.
Commander,
we think it'd be better
to eat a cold melon on a hot day.
What?! But my watermelo—
Oh, right, we lost...
Calm down!
Calm down!
I wanted my watermelon to win!
You lost to me, Subaru-chan.
But Subaru prefers watermelons,
I did.
so have those too sometimes.

Ooh, nice!
but having a hot pot in a cool

True.
Which one would you choose?
I want both.
Please tell me!
There's only one right answer here!
Only one?!
Which one?
You'll find out soon enough, Korone.
Let's just vote first.
Exciting.

We always have our tie breaker.
Right.
More like butt breaker.
We might all end up on

True.
This side is BBQ.
And this side is hot pot.
Now then, are you girls ready?
Ready, and,

All right.
Can we get a few words from everyone

Go ahead.

Hey,

What the heck.
"I do quite enjoy a good barbecue."
With a little sexiness added.
That sounds like her.
Can we hear Sexy Korone?
I would like a barbecue, too.
Right?
Lui-chan?
Yes, that's me.
Yeah right.
You're just doing whatever!
What about Sexy Miosha?
Oh! Um...
I would also prefer a barbecue.
Right?
Why?
Wait, we should give
Subaru-chan a chance, too.
What does Sexy Subaru sound like?
It's gotta be BBQ.

On a day off, you can choose between
going to the beach and
hiking in the mountains.
Or between visiting an amusement park
and seeing an aquarium.
I was going to ask something like that,
but then I thought, "Do I have to
leave my house at all?"
I have the whole day to myself.
Should I go play outside?
Or should I laze about in
my nice and cool home?
I just can't decide.
Which do you girls prefer?
I see.
Well, there's only one right answer here.
Yeah.
Only one right answer, huh...
Let's line up first.
This side is A, "Play outside"!
And B, "Stay at home"!
Let's vote! Okay?
Ready, and, this side!
We're split!
I haven't seen these pairings before.
You're right!
Let's start with the "play outside" camp.
Tell us the reason for your choice.
It feels good to work up
a sweat outside!
Try it sometime!
You can never go back.
So passionate.
Isn't that right?
Right?
That's all.
That's it?
Okay.
Then I guess we'll have to
convince them otherwise.
I have a forbidden trump card
that'll bring Subaru-chan to our side.
What's that?
Subaru-chan, you can't.
I'm staying on this side no matter what!
Watch this.
If you stay at home,
you can watch Yu-Gi-Oh!.
Subaruuu!
What happened to you, Subaru?!
Don't fall for her tricks!
I can't watch Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
without Okayu to watch it with me!
Just watch it before summer!
Oh. You're right.
Subaru-chan,
it's long.
That's right!
It's really long.
There's like 500 episodes...
There's no better time for binge watching!
Subaru-chan,
what if you alternate?
What? What do you mean?
Day at home. Day outside.
Day at home. Day outside.
Korone, will you picnic and
watch Yu-Gi-Oh! with me?
What?
Like, outside?
Yeah, outside.
You won't see a whole lot there!
You'll get sunlight reflecting off the screen!
Forgive me!
Subaru!
We got her.
In that case,
I have my own magic card that
can bring someone over.
What is it?
Who will she use it on?
If you play outside...
you can be with fun Korone.
Yeah, that's not gonna work.
You get the right to hang out with Korone.
Yeah, you get to hang out with me!

You're watching Yu-Gi-Oh! with me!

It's still got some fire left, right, Okayu?
Oh, Okayu's? You mean she can still fight?
Yeah. The fighting spirit in...

Like, "What on Earth is
a butt fighting spirit?"
I thought you could go

You fight her then, Subaru-chan.
Why me?!
Because Miosha and I can't handle her.
Yeah, we're already knocked out.
Yeah.
Fight me, Okayu!
What was all that about?
Fight each other.
Wait, what does the winner get?
What are we doing this for again?
It's indoors vs outdoors, isn't it?
It's to cool down the fighting
spirit in Okayu's butt.
So we're letting my butt vent its anger?
Yeah. We're letting your butt—
Do you have pent-up frustration, Okayu?
I don't...
A fight to calm the raging beast
that is Okayu's butt...
It's not raging, though!
What is this?
I just thought you wanted another round!
That's all there's to it!
Oh, so you were being considerate. Thanks.
