[00:03] Yuwa
    Buying supplies for the
    athletic festival, huh?
[00:06] Yuwa
    That takes me back.
[00:10] Komichi
    Will I be able to lead everyone well enough?
[00:13] Yuwa
    Yeah, it is a pretty big mall.
[00:19] Komichi
    I'm excited, though.
[00:22] Yuwa
    Will you have time to catch the bus?
[00:24] Komichi
    Plenty.
[00:25] Yuwa
    Did you check the weekend schedule?
[00:27] Komichi
    I'll check it again!
[00:29] Yuwa
    Whoa, whoa. Hold still.
[00:30] Komichi
    R-Right...
[00:32] Kao
    I'll go get the schedule!
[00:35] Komichi
    It's on the shelf in the living room.
[00:40] Yuwa
    There, all done.
[00:47] Komichi
    Thanks!

[03:48] Komichi
    Morning, Kojou-san. We're here.
[03:53] Tomono
    Sorry.
[03:54] Tomono
    That always happens when
    I get too absorbed in a book.
[03:57] Komichi
    That's some amazing concentration.
[04:00] Tomono
    Thank goodness you were on the same bus.
[04:03] Tomono
    I miss my stop all the time.
[04:05] Touko
    Hey!
[04:07] Touko
    Over here!
[04:09] Komichi
    Hey!
[04:11] Komichi
    Morning, Erika-chan, Usagihara-san!
[04:14] Erika; Touko
    Morning.
[04:15] Tomono
    Morning.
[04:17] Touko
    Wow, you guys look pretty
    different in regular clothes.
[04:19] Erika
    True.
[04:21] Tomono
    Yeah...
[04:25] Komichi
    It's kinda embarrassing.
[04:27] Touko
    Nah, you look cute. That getup suits you.
[04:30] Komichi
    You look cute, too!
[04:33] Komichi
    The braid looks really stylish!
[04:37] Touko
    I put a little effort into it.
[04:39] Komichi
    Your nails are cute, too!
[04:41] Touko
    Aren't they?
[04:42] Touko
    They're only for today, though.
[04:45] Erika
    And look at you, Komichi-san.
[04:47] Komichi
    Huh?
[04:47] Erika
    Your hair.
[04:50] Komichi
    You can tell?
[04:51] Tomono
    Yeah. It's a little shorter now.
[04:57] Touko
    Well, ready to go get those supplies?
[05:02] Tomono
    The things we need for the
    athletic festival are...
[05:04] Tomono
    Vinyl tape for the cheer squad,
[05:07] Tomono
    cloth to make the class flags,
[05:08] Tomono
    and a few other little things.
[05:11] Touko
    There's a directory over there.
[05:13] Komichi
    Leave it to me!
[05:15] Komichi
    I'll be your guide to this mall today!
[05:24] Erika
    Wow... It's almost like
    we're at an amusement park.
[05:28] Erika
    I've never shopped at a place like
    this before, so I'm kinda excited.
[05:32] Komichi
    It has a movie theater, too.
[05:34] Erika
    Really?
[05:35] Touko
    I've actually never been to
    this particular mall, either.
[05:39] Tomono
    Which stores do you usually
    go to, Akebi-san?
[05:43] Komichi
    I go to...
SIGN    Veggie Fest
[05:45] Komichi
    The grocery store!
[05:47] Erika
    This place is huge.

[05:54] Komichi
    The play room!
[05:56] Komichi
    These mats are super soft. It's really fun!
[05:59] Komichi
    There we go!
[06:00] Touko
    Whoa, whoa! Akebi-chan!
[06:03] Touko
    I kind of dressed up for this.
[06:06] Komichi
    Oh, right! I guess you
    can't play in that, huh?
[06:08] Komichi
    I got too excited...
[06:10] Touko
    I can totally relate, though.
[06:13] Touko
    I have a little brother,
[06:15] Touko
    so I used to play with him in
    these things all the time.
[06:18] Komichi
    Exactly!
[06:21] Komichi
    Kao and I used to play here while we
    waited for Mom to finish shopping.
[06:28] Komichi
    Then Mom would buy us ice cream
    or taiyaki or something,
[06:32] Komichi
    and we'd all eat together.
[06:34] Erika
    I guess you have a lot
    of memories here, huh?
[06:37] Komichi
    Yeah!
[06:38] Komichi
    When my dad had the day off work,
[06:40] Komichi
    we'd go play in the river
    after the shopping was done!
[06:43] Tomono
    Sounds fun.
[06:44] Touko
    Ooh!
[06:45] Touko
    I didn't know this store
    was at this mall, too!
[06:48] Komichi
    I've never been in there...
[06:50] Touko
    They have all kinds of cute accessories.
[06:52] Touko
    Let's take a look!
[06:56] Komichi
    Usagihara-san knows more about it than I do!
[06:58] Touko
    Hey, Akebi-chan!
[07:00] Touko
    This is the brand that
    Fukumoto Miki modeled for!
[07:03] Komichi
    Miki-chan?!
[07:06] Komichi
    Wow! They actually sell these here?
[07:09] Touko
    And it's not that expensive.
    I bet it'd look good on you.
[07:14] Touko
    Yep, it totally does!
[07:20] Komichi
    Usagihara-san's amazing!
[07:22] Erika
    Oh, this is cute.
[07:23] Touko
    Hm, nice.
[07:24] Touko
    Oh, they have that brand here, too!
[07:53] Touko
    Wow, they even have this store here!
[07:55] Komichi
    Wow...
[07:56] Touko
    Wow, and this store, too!
[07:59] Tomono
    Shouldn't we be buying supplies?
SIGN    Dragonfly Books
[08:07] Komichi
    Oh, I go to that bookstore sometimes, too.
[08:11] Tomono
    Oh, really?
[08:15] Erika
    I'd like to check it out, too.
[08:33] Tomono
    That book...
[08:35] Tomono
    What a coincidence!
[08:37] Tomono
    I just finished reading that on my way here.
[08:42] Erika
    I've been curious about this
    author's work for a while.
[08:45] Tomono
    Want to borrow my copy?
[08:48] Erika
    Really?
[08:49] Tomono
    Sure!
[08:52] Tomono
    I'd like to hear your thoughts about
    it when you finish reading it.
[08:55] Erika
    Okay.
[08:57] Touko
    Do you do any writing, Kojou-san?
[09:00] Touko
    The literature club kinda
    gives me that impression.
[09:03] Erika
    That's true.
[09:04] Erika
    There were kids in grade school who liked
    reading books and wrote some of their own.
[09:08] Touko
    Right?
[09:11] Tomono
    Actually... I thought I'd
    like to try writing one.

[09:16] Tomono
    I really like this author's
    literary style and word choices.
[09:21] Tomono
    It makes me wish I could
    express myself that way, too.
[09:26] Tomono
    But when I actually try to write something,
[09:28] Tomono
    I can't decide on a theme to write about.
[09:31] Touko
    A theme, huh?
[09:33] Touko
    That does sound pretty hard.
[09:35] Erika
    What kinds of things do you like to read?
[09:38] Tomono
    Well, I guess... essays, fantasy, mysteries...
[09:44] Tomono
    The books I read are all different genres.
[09:47] Touko
    What do you like, then?
[09:48] Tomono
    Well, I like reading, so...
[09:53] Tomono
    Uh, s-sorry!
[09:54] Tomono
    This isn't something you should
    have to think about for me.
[09:58] Tomono
    Reading books and writing them
    are completely different.
[10:02] Tomono
    Maybe reading is the one
    I'm specialized for.
[10:13] Komichi
    Pretty...
[10:15] Erika
    Ah, crepuscular rays.
[10:18] Erika
    If I recall, the phenomenon is also
    known as a "pipe organ of light."
[10:25] Komichi
    That's such a beautiful way to describe it.
[10:27] Tomono
    It's from a line in a
    poem by Miyazawa Kenji.
[10:30] Komichi
    Oh...
[10:34] Komichi
    I didn't know there were so
    many different types of books.

    And some are small enough to
    fit in the palm of my hand.
[10:44] Tomono
    You're right.
[10:45] Tomono
    One of the funnest things about
    books is the variety of bindings.
[10:50] Komichi
    These are so cute!
[10:51] Tomono
    Aw, they really are!
[10:54] Komichi
    By the way, is that bookmark
    you were using handmade?
[10:58] Tomono
    Huh? Uh, yeah.
[11:00] Komichi
    The pressed flowers were really pretty!
[11:04] Tomono
    Thanks.
[11:05] Tomono
    My mom made it for me.
[11:07] Komichi
    Wow!
[11:08] Tomono
    I've been using it ever since I was little.
[11:11] Tomono
    To me, it's basically
    like a good-luck charm.
[11:18] Touko
    Whew, I'm beat.
[11:21] Touko
    That sure hits the spot.
[11:23] Tomono
    We did end up taking a lot of detours.
[11:26] Touko
    Yeah, I just haven't been in a mall
    in so long, and it was so fun...
[11:29] Komichi
    Let's eat.
[11:35] Erika
    This is... a hamburger?
[11:38] Komichi
    This is the first time you've
    had one, Erika-chan?
[11:40] Erika
    Yeah. I've always wanted to try one.
[11:47] Komichi
    You hold it with the wrapper
    around it to eat it.
[11:53] Touko
    Oh, almost forgot.
[11:57] Touko
    Ta-dah!
[12:01] Komichi
    What are those?
[12:02] Touko
    Thread for friendship bracelets.
[12:04] Komichi
    Friendship bracelets?
[12:05] Tomono
    They're basically good-luck charms woven
    from thread and worn as bracelets.
[12:09] Komichi
    Good-luck charms?
[12:10] Touko
    Yeah. You wear them when you have
    a wish you want to come true.
[12:13] Touko
    They say when it wears out and falls off
    on its own, the wish will come true.
[12:18] Touko
    Kizaki-san and I were talking
    about having everyone in class
[12:21] Touko
    do their part in the athletic festival
    wearing matching bracelets.
[12:41] Erika
    It's pretty good.
[12:45] Komichi
    Erika-chan, you're so cute!
[12:48] Erika
    Jeez, don't pick on me.
[12:53] Touko
    Well, anyway, that's the idea.
[12:55] Touko
    Why don't we all make the bracelets
    together at the Mangetsu Dorm later?
[12:59] Komichi
    I'm in!
[13:00] Tomono
    I've never been to the dorms before.
[13:03] Touko
    Okay! Now that that's decided,
    let's see when the bus is coming.
[13:07] Tomono
    Oh, Kizaki-san...
[13:09] Tomono
    Let me give you that book before I forget.
[13:12] Erika
    Thanks.

    Huh?

[13:24] Touko
    What's wrong?
[13:26] Tomono
    It's gone...
[13:28] Tomono
    My bookmark is gone!
[14:20] Touko
    Any luck?
[14:21] Erika
    I didn't see it anywhere.
[14:24] Touko
    No, huh?
[14:25] Tomono
    Yes.
[14:27] Tomono
    Okay.
[14:28] Tomono
    I see...
[14:30] Tomono
    Well, thank you.
[14:32] Komichi
    What'd they say?
[14:34] Tomono
    No one has brought in any lost items.
[14:37] Tomono
    And the bus is back at the depot,
    but they didn't find it there.
[14:42] Touko
    So it has to be somewhere in the mall.
[14:45] Touko
    I'll go look around one more time.
[14:47] Tomono
    Oh, don't worry about it.
[14:51] Tomono
    I've been using that thing forever.
[14:53] Tomono
    Maybe it's just time for a new one.
[14:56] Tomono
    Sorry for dragging you all into this.
[14:58] Tomono
    Anyway, the bus to the dorm
    should be here soon, right?
[15:01] Touko
    Uh... Yeah, it should, but...
[15:05] Tomono
    We should get going, then.
[15:17] Komichi
    The bookmark!
[15:21] Komichi
    We found it!
[15:25] Erika
    That's where we were talking this morning.
[15:30] Komichi
    Someone tied it to a balloon
    to make it easier to see.
[15:34] Touko
    Whew, what a relief!
[15:37] Tomono
    Sorry about this. I must've dropped
    it when I pulled out my notebook.

[16:37] Erika
    Yeah, but...
[16:55] Komichi
    Kojou-san, climb on!
[16:57] Tomono
    Huh?
[16:58] Tomono
    Climb on... your back?
[17:01] Komichi
    On my shoulders!
[17:02] Tomono
    What?! N-No way! I'm way too heavy!
[17:07] Touko
    Oh, I know!
[17:14] Tomono
    Y-You're sure this is okay?
[17:17] Komichi
    Yep!
[17:18] Touko
    No problem!
[17:19] Tomono
    O-Okay...
[17:23] Tomono
    Sorry I'm so heavy.
[17:25] Komichi
    Let's do it!
[17:27] Erika
    Right!
[17:27] Touko
    Okay!
[17:29] Komichi
    Ready... up!
[17:41] Tomono
    A-A little more forward!
[17:43] Komichi; Touko; Erika
    Okay!
[17:46] Tomono
    That's good!
[17:54] Komichi
    Kojou-san! Almost there!
[17:59] Tomono
    I can't. We're still not high enough.
[18:02] Touko
    But we're so close...
[18:07] Komichi
    A little higher...
[18:11] Komichi
    Kojou-san, let's try it one more time!
[18:13] Tomono
    Huh?
[18:18] Tomono
    Akebi-san, I don't know about this...
[18:20] Komichi
    Don't worry! I promise we'll catch you!
[18:23] Tomono
    O-Okay...
[18:29] Komichi
    Usagihara-san!
[18:30] Touko
    Ready!
[18:31] Komichi
    Erika-chan!
[18:32] Erika
    Yeah!
[18:34] Komichi
    Here we go!
[18:35] Komichi; Touko; Erika
    Ready... Up!
[18:48] Tomono
    I got it!
[19:04] Tomono
    Thank you!
[19:07] Touko
    Man, that was a close call, huh?
[19:09] Erika
    You surprised me when you suggested
    doing it like a mock cavalry battle.
[19:13] Touko
    Well, I'd say Akebi-chan's idea
    was a lot more surprising!
[19:15] Komichi
    It really is a beautiful bookmark.
[19:17] Erika
    You're right. Who else
    would've come up with that?
[19:20] Touko
    You're amazing, Komichi-san!
[19:23] Komichi
    You know, when I saw you
    looking up at that balloon,
[19:27] Komichi
    it felt like your feelings were
    flying away along with it.
[19:32] Komichi
    I'm so glad we got it back!
[19:34] Tomono
    Yeah... Thank you!
[19:42] Touko
    Yikes!
[19:46] Touko
    Oh, man... I didn't bring my umbrella.
[19:49] Erika
    Me, neither.
[19:50] Tomono
    I do have mine, but...
[19:53] Erika
    The bus stop is a bit of a
    walk from here, isn't it?
[19:58] Touko
    Hmm... Maybe we should
    wait for the next one.
[20:02] Erika
    I guess so.
[20:04] Tomono
    Wait, where's Akebi-san?
[20:16] Komichi
    Look, guys! Even in the rain,
     it's still floating!
[20:23] Touko
    That girl's got so much energy!
[20:26] Tomono
    Watching Akebi-san kind of makes me
    want to write a character like her.
[20:35] Tomono
    I think she's just incredible.
[20:38] Touko
    All right!
[20:42] Erika
    Wait for me!
[20:43] Tomono
    Huh?!
[20:49] Tomono
    Yeah!
[20:52] Komichi
    Let's race to the bus stop!
[21:02] Touko
    This feels great!
[21:39] Erika
    Looks like... the rain stopped.
[21:42] Touko
    I guess it was just a passing shower.
[21:51] Komichi
    Oh! Look at the sky!
[21:59] Komichi; Touko; Erika; Tomono
    The pipe organ!
