episode 5: footsteps of spring

There's a woman or girl here sitting what we used to call "Indian-style"... not sure what it would be called these days. There's an Asahi in her hand (seems a popular brand of beer in these things; it could just be my Small Reference Pools), and sakura are falling around her. I suppose we'll find out more about her soon enough.

this is normal

Someone in the Hiiragi household (mother, perhaps?) tells Kagami that Miyuki is coming by. Whoever this is seems impressed that she called in advance for confirmation. She arrives with flowers, asking about her health. Kagami welcomes her, saying she's almost fully better, and thanks her for the flowers. Miyuki says she thought of visiting right away, but it got late. Kagami assures her that it's fine. (Yeah, it's probably a good thing that she wasn't over when Konata was.) Miyuki brought printouts of the class rep. meeting, for which Kagami thanks her. Miyuki is concerned about making her tired, but Kagami tells her not to worry: tearing up with joy, she continues, "...this is what someone visiting you when you're sick is supposed to be like." Miyuki wonders if something happened.

how a good person thinks

Kagami relates what happened, but Miyuki figures it just might be Konata's way of caring for her. She figured that her kidding around about the homework was to make her feel better, and that maybe the watching her sleeping face thing was something she couldn't help, as she was trying to keep from being rowdy. Kagami finds herself unable to think this way.

how to spend a long vacation

Miyuki notices that she hasn't seen Tsukasa yet, and wonders if she's not there. And then who should come through the door? Why, it's Tsukasa, still in her pajamas and a robe, giving a "Morning" to her sister, and inquiring about her health. Then she notices Miyuki, and shuts the door in surprise. Kagami remarks that Tsukasa lives her life in a manner more relaxed than the sick.

honesty and kindness

Tsukasa pokes back in and sheepishly says she's not usually like that, but it's like they say, "Spring sleep never knows something or other" ("Spring sleep does not know of dawn," as the translator notes tell us), and welcomes Miyuki to their home. Miyuki understands, having had difficulty waking up lately as well. Tsukasa has noticed Miyuki's sleepiness lately. Kagami... thinks? "Oh, you know, somehow... I see an endless stream of ditzy comments followed by a compliment... Call it carefree, or being an airhead... That's fine, but go change into some clothes."

the promised day

Konata hits her palm, realizing. Soon, she has Kagami on the phone, saying something about being over her cold, and going out and playing for the first time in a while. Konata also mentions conspicuously that she's done with her homework, which shocks Kagami. Kagami asks her to confirm that, but Konata says she lied. She claims it's because you have to tell some lie on April Fool's Day, but Kagami thinks it's just because she doesn't want to do it herself.

found a bored person

Here's a panel for people who like close-ups of girls' socked feet... I'm not one, but I am aware of the appeal. Anyway, Kagami tells Konata how bored she must be to call at that time of day to tell her AFD lie, then says she'll see her tomorrow, and hangs up. Then Konata gets a call from "Kuroi", her teacher. She apologizes for overwriting a save file on a video game Konata lent her. Konata is shocked, but then Miss Kuroi reveals that that was her AFD lie.

retaliation

Then Konata tells Miss Kuroi that Miyuki said it must be easy to be a teacher, if Miss Kuroi can be one. Beat Panel. Miss Kuroi gets upset, so Konata tries to reveal that she was telling a lie, but it's not clear whether she got through...

since we're here

Back at the Hiiragi residence, Kagami tells Tsukasa what Konata did, then asks her if she did anything like that. Tsukasa says she did. Kagami asks what it was, noting how unusual it is. Kagami gets a question mark from waiting. Tsukasa blushes and eventually says that her lie was that she had told someone a lie. Kagami is startled by the meta-lie, and reminds her that she doesn't have to force herself to lie. She suspects that Tsukasa forgot about it until Kagami mentioned it.

no progress

Tsukasa asks what kind of lie Konata told. Kagami relates that it was about her having finished her homework on her own, realizing that she was being dumb by falling for it. She beeps the TV on. Tsukasa makes the amazing deduction that that must mean she hasn't done it yet. Kagami is sure that's the case. Tsukasa sees. Kagami voices suspicion that Tsukasa was thinking how glad she was that she was not alone. Tsukasa tries to deny it...

NANAKO KUROI

"Homeroom teacher for Konata's class. A teacher that feels more like a friend that every school has at least one of. She and Konata lend each other games a lot. The subject she teaches is world history."
