The chapter picture is a cute one of Tsukasa in her summer uniform.
perfect girl
Tsukasa is out of breath, and both she and Konata are sweating. Konata wonders why they don't have swimming classes even though they have a pool. Miyuki remarks that it helps her out, as she can't open her eyes underwater, and therefore can't swim far. Konata finds her weaknesses unfair, somehow becoming cute. (Tsukasa says she can't swim, either.)
instinctive behavior
At the Hiiragi place, Konata comes over and is welcomed by Kagami. She notices the electric fan, set out because it's hot. Kagami invites her to hang out there and enjoy the air. Before long, Konata is saying "ahhhhhh" into the fan. Kagami returns with beverages in time to see it, remarking that she knew Konata would do it, and that Tsukasa was doing it earlier. (In slight contrast to how it went down in the anime, where Tsukasa had barely awakened by the time Konata did it, and did it herself when she came in. And when Kagami said she didn't do that, her father pointed out that she was doing it earlier.)
goodbye
On another occasion, Kagami and Konata are talking over the phone. Konata wonders if they act as miko during the summer as well, but Kagami says they don't.
Konata hears her munching Pocky, and asks if she isn't on a diet. Kagami lets on that she'd lost weight, possibly due to fatigue from exam studies. Konata notes that she's so quick (to do the things that lead to her dieting in the first place).
hello
Konata sees Tsukasa, and they greet each other. Konata notices Konata looking down, and asks what's wrong. Kagami bursts into tears and laments her quick weight gain. Konata points out it's because she put herself off guard and snacked too much.
biologically
Kagami has settled into a gloomy state. Konata points out the lack of visible difference even 2 kg makes, and wonders why such a small difference in weight should make such a big difference emotionally. She starts to make a remark about girls, but Kagami points out that Konata is also supposed to be one.
a wise girl knows her own parent
Tsukasa greets Konata by showing off her new cellphone she got for her birthday. (Wonder what Kagami got...) Konata offers to exchange numbers, and Tsukasa accepts. Kagami didn't know she had one, probably because Konata leaves it at home most times. But that's okay because her father's pretty much her only caller. Kagami still thinks that makes her owning one pointless.
beginner
Tsukasa's still giddy about it, but Kagami doesn't think she should be so happy over it in this day and age.
In class, it goes off, and Kuroi-sensei confiscates it until after school, much to Tsukasa's alarm and embarrassment.
sisters
After school, while the four mains are talking, Kagami's cell goes off. It's her father, calling to check on her. Kagami reports that she's still at school, and talking with Konata and Miyuki, and that she'll be home soon.
Shortly after that call ends, Tsukasa also gets a call from her father...
(I guess there wouldn't be a punchline if Kagami had said Tsukasa was there, too, but still...)
absolutely safe
Kagami complains about the rise in spam text messages. Konata advises her to change her text address to something less obvious, like she did. Kagami asks what she has. Konata replies that it's "Meganekkogekilove" (serious love of girls with glasses) written in romaji *, horrifying Kagami. Konata goes on to say than addresses like "maid_san" and "miko_san" are so popular that they're already taken, or at least there's probably a glut of those addresses with something, like a number, appended to make it just different enough. Kagami cuts her off, saying that she gets it, and not to talk about such things so loudly in front of the general public.
trials of the beginner
After Kagami and Konata greet each other, Konata notices Tsukasa sobbing, and asks what's wrong. Tsukasa weeps out "M-my cell... my cellphone..." Kagami explains that Tsukasa didn't remove it from her skirt pocket, so it went into the wash. "And it has met its death."
to each her own
Kagami goes into Tsukasa's room to find her crying, and asks what's wrong. Turns out a manga she borrowed from Konata touched her deeply. Kagami considers reading it herself.
The next day, Tsukasa thanks Konata for letting her borrow it. For some reason, she says "It was really amusing!" The dub of the anime definitely did better, initially leaving ambiguous the way in which she enjoyed it, rather than failing to capture it. Konata thinks it must have made her laugh, inspiring Kagami to wonder if they even read the same manga.
just on the receiving end
Tsukasa recommends the manga research club to Konata. Konata wouldn't mind joining, and is sure they have flexible hours... but it's still unclear to whether she's going to or not. She starts (continues?) drawing, and when she's done, hands the results to the two. They're shocked at her drawing all of them.
image
Kagami asks who the drawings are supposed to be. The first is supposed to be Tsukasa, to Tsukasa's surprise. It's not extremely far off, actually; aside from the very thin neck and the ribbon not being pointy, it's pretty recognizable. The next one is Miyuki. A sparkly Miyuki, actually. Kagami can tell from the general feel. Finally, there's Kagami, with pointed teeth and fire coming out of her mouth.
for yourself, for others
On the last day of school before vacation, Tsukasa is distressing over her report card, while Konata seems to be taking it in stride.
Kuroi-sensei announces the long vacation, but warns them to remember their positions as students, and to spend their days in moderation. After a Beat Panel, she reveals that the cause of her concern is that if they cause problems, that'll kill her vacation.
time is the same
On the way from school, Kagami says that they're in vacation now, and remarks that one reassurance is not seeing Konata every day. Konata says that she'll see Kuroi almost every day, anyway. Kagami asks if she's taking summer classes, and Konata reveals that they're often in the same party in a net game, and she logs in nearly every day. Kagami thinks there's something about that, but Tsukasa is confused about the term "net game".
