It's summer holiday and the gang are enjoying their vacation at the
beach. Ataru, of course, is only interested in the female beauties on the
beach. Unbelievable as it may be, Sakura is there too. Somehow, something
she says makes everybody believe Cherry has died and she's at the beach
because her uncle loved the sea so much. {GBL}

It's evening and everyone is sitting in Mendou's beach house to enjoy
themselves. So much much for Mendou's plan to be alone with Lum. The next
morning, the girls discover that their swimsuits have been stolen. Later
that day, Sakura is robbed of her swimsuit as well. All the evidence so
far is pointing to Cherry. {GBL}

Mendou's a pretty sneaky guy. First he takes everyone to a garden
party in a nearby hotel and then he's only willing to pay for the girls.
There is one other option: if they can eat their way through the hotel's
course of hell, it's all for free. Sakura, Cherry and Ataru accept the
challenge. Now we will see who can eat the most. {GBL}

The end of the vacation is nearing and almost everybody is putting on

Cherry's professional guidance. {GBL}
