From Now On...

**From Now On...** (これから…, *Kore kara...*) is the twelfth and final episode of the Houkago Teibou Nisshi anime.

## Overview

Determined to catch a "Whiting" after learning some tips and tricks from the internet, Hina once again goes fishing for Whiting fish.

## Complete Summary

After school, Natsumi gets a text from Hina that she's heading to the clubhouse, who is then seen riding her bike there.

Once the other members arrive at the clubhouse, they're astounded to see Hina already prepared for the fishing trip. At the location where the "Whiting" fish are, Hina gives an elaboration as to why her artificial bait didn't work last time. This was mainly due to her bait being too short and unlifelike. So to rectify her mistakes, Hina will learn from them and catch one that day. Kotani-sensei, however, notes that everything Hina elaborated to them was on the back of the bag from bait came from. So, Hina starts fishing and sadly doesn't catch a single one the few times she tries. It was after Natsumi tries to cheer up Hina and helps her reevaluate her approach on how to catch a whiting. Right after this conversation with Natsumi, Hina tries again and finally manages to catch a Whiting. Afterward, at the clubhouse, the club members enjoy a Whiting dinner, as per usual, it was prepared by Makoto.

The following day, Hina and Natsumi play Jaken to figure out who will enter the clubhouse. and open the window inside. This is so the place cool off on that sweltering hot day. To reward Hina for doing that, Natsumi goes inside the clubhouse to fetch some Barley Tea for Hina, but there's only a bit left. When Natsumi goes to inform Hina about this, she finds Makoto fanning her down with a piece of paper.

Later, Hina and Natsumi prepare more barley tea for the future. As they do this, Makoto notices their Horse Mackeral plushies attached to their bags. This prompts a flashback to when the midterm exams were over. Both Hina and Natsumi walk home together and Natsumi mentions wanting to make her own Horse Mackeral plushie. So, Hina invites her over and Natsumi agrees to it, but before she goes there she heads home to change into more casual clothing.

Eventually, Natsumi arrives at Hina's home and is greeted by Hina's Mother. They briefly talk until Hina intervenes and takes Natsumi into her room. From there, Hina shows Natsumi how to craft a Horse Mackeral plushie and when it gets dark out, they're called by Hina's Mother for some dinner.

Back in the present, Makoto expresses interest in making a fish plushie herself, which elates Hina, who just so happened to have extra material on her person. The trio then starts making their own plushies and soon Yūki arrives. Impressed by Hina's craft, Yūki internally believes that she could make a tidy profit from Hina's crafts. Time passes by and Hina makes a Takohigeya plushie and she also notes that one time she passed by the Craftworks clubroom. To her surprise, all of the members there were male, so she quit the idea of joining the club. Once all of the plushies were finished, the string is attached to them and they're hung on the bottles of barley tea in the fridge. This was to help distinguish which bottle belonged to who.

The next day, Sayaka visits the clubhouse and scold the members for leaving her out of the plushie making party they had. To make it up to Sayaka, Hina promises to make her a plushie too. Furthermore, when she's asked what kind of food to make it up to her, Sayaka's requests are far too extravagant for them to procure.

After the credits, Yūki and Makoto are shown sitting in front of the clubhouse enjoying Barley Tea, when Hina and Natsumi arrive. Immediately, Hina inquires what they'll be catching that day.
