[00:07] Sak
    For summer vacation...
[00:10] Sak
    we should have a training camp, right?
[00:12] Kar
    We should!
[00:13] Nat
    No way. That sounds like hassle.
[00:15] Sak
    I-Is this opposition I hear?!
[00:18] Nat
    What kind of training does
    this club even need to do?
[00:21] Sak
    Fine-tuning our card game decks?
[00:23] Nat
    We don't need a training camp for that.
[00:25] Sak
    But we can't beat those elementary
    school dweebs if we don't!
[00:28] Nat
    We don't have to do that.
[00:30] Sak
    We could also carefully breed the best IVs,
[00:32] Sak
    then train our EVs and form dueling parties.
[00:35] Nat
    We can play those games at home, too.
[00:37] Sak
    Nuh-uh! I wanna have a training camp!
[00:40] Sak
    What did I do to deserve this, Natsuki-chan?!
[00:42] Nat
    Say it from the heart...
[00:44] Nat
    Say it from the heart, and I'll consider it.
[00:50] ---
    Stare...
[00:56] Sak
    I want...
[00:58] Sak
    all of us to go on a trip together.

SIGN    The Ultimate Decision
[02:35] Sak
    So...
[02:37] Sak
    Having decided to hold a training camp,
[02:39] Sak
    we are now faced with what could
    be called the ultimate decision.
[02:43] Sak
    In other words!
[02:45] Sak
    Should we go with the mountains...
[02:47] Sak
    Or...
[02:48] Sak
    the village?
[02:50] Sak
    Oh, I can't decide!
SIGN    Mountain
SIGN    Village
[02:51] Nat
    If you're talking about the candy,
    just take both kinds!
[02:54] Bot
    Why don't we seal both types in a jar
    and take whichever one survives?
SIGN    Insect
[02:58] Nat
    What kind of witch doctor are you?!
[03:00] Cla
    Now, now...
[03:01] Cla
    Why don't we compromise and just
    take a couple of pastry chefs along?
[03:04] Nat
    This girl has no intention of compromising!
[03:06] Kar
    I'd love to go to the beach!
[03:09] Kar
    I'll have to buy a swimsuit.
[03:10] Nat
    And this one's ignoring the conversation
    and thinking about destinations!
[03:13] Kar
    What?
[03:14] Kar
    I thought we were talking about
    where to go for our training camp.
[03:17] Nat
    Well...
[03:18] Nat
    that was the original point, but...
[03:23] Sak
    But ultimate decisions do crop up
    surprisingly often, don't they?
[03:28] Sak
    Dogs or cats?!
[03:30] Cla
    That's a duel of cuteness.
[03:31] Sak
    Udon or soba?!
[03:32] Nat
    Doesn't that depend on
    what you're in the mood for?
[03:34] Sak
    Should your starter be a fire
    type or a water type?
[03:37] Bot
    Yeah, no one goes for grass.
[03:38] Sak
    Ayanami or Shikinami?!
[03:40] Nat
    You mean, choose between the
    aloof crush and the psycho crush?
[03:43] Bot
    No, I think she means the warships.
[03:45] Sak
    Going Home Club or Watamote?
SIGN    The Ultimate Decision is Upon Us*!!
SIGN    Watamote or Going Home Club
[03:46] Cla
    We can't say much about that...
[03:49] Kar
    We really do run up against a lot of choices.
[03:52] Bot
    As the one carrying on the name of Hagitsuki-ryuu,
[03:56] Bot
    I frequently have to choose whether I live or die.
[03:58] Nat
    Not much of a choice to make there.
[04:01] Bot
    But even if I get past that...
SIGN    Desires
    of the
    Flesh
[04:04] Bot
    I'm still faced with the
    decision of whether to have
[04:06] Bot
    my red bean paste smooth or chunky!
[04:08] Nat
    It doesn't even matter!
[04:10] Nat
    That's hardly life or death!
[04:11] Bot
    Normally, I prefer smooth,
[04:13] Bot
    but sometimes, chunky is
    better in red bean pancakes.
[04:15] Nat
    Why do you worry more about that
    than about living or dying?
SIGN    Smooth Red Bean Paste Chunky Red Bean Paste
[04:20] Nat
    But when I think about the ultimate
    decision, you know what I think of?
[04:25] Nat
    In the fifth game of the Epic RPG series,
[04:27] Nat
    do you marry your childhood
    friend or the rich girl?
[04:31] Sak
    That one comes up a lot,
[04:33] Sak
    but in practice, isn't the childhood
    friend the only real choice?
[04:36] Sak
    I mean, it's between the
    childhood friend who idolizes
[04:38] Sak
    the protagonist and wishes for his
    happiness more than her own...
[04:41] Sak
    or some rich girl who came out of nowhere!
[04:43] Sak
    Who'd pick the rich one?
[04:45] Sak
    Someone obsessed with money?
[04:47] Kar
    Why is that image on the screen?
[04:50] Cla
    There's a little thing in this
    world called "grown-up stuff."
[04:53] Bot
    Yeah, we'd get in trouble if we drew
    characters that look too much like them.
[04:56] Nat
    Now that you mention it,
    I chose the childhood friend, too.
[04:59] Bot
    I also chose the childhood
    friend my first time around.
[05:02] Cla
    That's right.
[05:03] Cla
    It really doesn't matter if she has money.
[05:06] Nat
    That's really irritating coming from her.
[05:08] Bot
    The childhood friend and the rich girl
    both use different magic too, don't they?
[05:13] Bot
    There are probably a lot of people
[05:15] Bot
    who chose the rich girl because
     they wanted her spells.
SIGN    Wild Seals Appeared

[05:25] Sak
    What are you trying to say?!
[05:26] Sak
    There's more to a woman's worth
    than what magic she uses!
[05:29] Cla
    That's right!
[05:30] Kar
    Sakura-senpai, you're so cool!
[05:32] Bot
    That's our president!
[05:34] Nat
    That's a fair argument,
[05:36] Nat
    but regular girls can't
    use attack magic anyway.
[05:39] Cla
    But if choosing a bride
    isn't the ultimate decision,
[05:43] Cla
    what else could there be?
[05:45] Sak
    There's some famous ones,
    like um, what was it...
[05:49] Sak
    Something about a beautiful woman...
    and something about curry flavors.
[05:53] Kar
    Yes! I know that one!
[05:55] Kar
    Would you rather have curry with a
    great personality or a sht-flavored hag?
SIGN    Boom
[06:02] Nat
    What kind of choice is that?
[06:04] Nat
    Curry with a personality doesn't even make sense!
[06:06] Nat
    And a "sht-flavored hag" is just sad!
[06:08] Sak
    Natsuki-chan, calm down!
[06:10] Sak
    It's bad for our image if the heroine
    says "sht, sht" all the time!
[06:13] Cla
    Sakura-san, calm down!
[06:14] Cla
    You're only ending up rep**ting "sht" yourself!
[06:17] Nat
    You don't have to censor "repeating"!
SIGN    The winds of Ihatovo are crystal clear...
SIGN    The blue sky is refreshingly cool, even in summer.
SIGN    Picturesque forests frame the city of Morio,
SIGN    and just outside the city are glittering waves of grass...
[06:33] Sak
    Botan-chan's beautiful words cleansed
    this place of the stink of curry.
[06:38] Nat
    Is there some meaning behind those lines?
[06:42] Bot
    That was Air Refresh Logos.
[06:44] Nat
    It has a skill name?!
SIGN    Air Refresh Logos
[06:46] Aza
    Back to life!
[06:49] Sak
    But some "ultimate decisions" have
    more than just two choices, right?
[06:55] Sak
    For instance:
[06:56] Sak
    "If you could only eat one thing
    for a year, what would it be?"
[07:00] Sak
    Like that.
[07:01] Sak
    Of course, there are those who would say
[07:03] Sak
    "The daily special!" with a know-it-all smirk.
[07:06] Sak
    But that gag expired before even
[07:08] Sak
    the daily special did, so that's off-limits.
[07:10] Nat
    Did you have a bad experience
    with that or something?
[07:12] Sak
    Keeping that in mind, I'd go with hot pot.
[07:15] Kar
    Ht pt?
[07:16] Cla
    Karin-san, you don't have
    to censor "hot pot."
[07:19] Bot
    You like stew, Sakura?
[07:23] Sak
    In the world of sumo,
    all foods are called "hot pot."
[07:26] Nat
    Then that's no different from
    choosing the daily special!
[07:28] Kar
    Botan-senpai,
[07:30] Kar
    if you could only eat one food,
     what would it be?
[07:33] Bot
    Let me think...
[07:35] Bot
    I just can't decide.
[07:37] Bot
    Smooth or chunky red bean paste...
[07:39] Nat
    You're stuck on that decision again?!
[07:41] Kar
    I think I might go with flan!
[07:43] Nat
    I think I'd get sick of that on the first day.
[07:46] Cla
    What about you, Natsuki-san?
[07:50] Nat
    I'd go with...
[07:53] Nat
    Omelet rice.
SIGN    Cute
[07:57] Nat
    Cut that out!
[07:59] Aza
    Sealet rice!
[08:01] Nat
    More importantly!
[08:02] Nat
    We need to pick where to go
    for our training camp already.
[08:05] Sak
    Oh, that's right.
[08:07] Kar
    I still want to go to the beach!
[08:10] Bot
    I'd prefer the mountains, myself.
[08:13] Cla
    It might be nice to reserve the
    Palace of Versailles for a private tour.
[08:17] Sak
    Everyone! We're going to a training camp!
[08:20] Sak
    We aren't going for fun!
[08:22] Nat
    Then, where do you think we
    should go, Sakura-senpai?
[08:29] Sak
    Kagawa!
[08:35] Sak
    We're going to go to Kagawa
    to annihilate udon!
[08:37] Cla
    Kagawa?
[08:39] Bot
    Annihilate?

    Udon?

[08:58] Nat
    And so, we of the Going Home Club have arrived
[09:01] Nat
    at our summer vacation training camp.
[09:04] Kar
    So this is the land of udon!
[09:06] Nat
    This looks a lot like Ogikubo to me.
[09:10] Sak
    That's because Ogikubo's famous
    throughout the industry for its cuisine.
[09:13] Sak
    For various reasons, the scenery
    of Ogikubo has been applied here.
[09:19] Nat
    Did the staff only go
     location hunting locally?
[09:21] Sak
    More importantly, let's begin
    our Udon Annihilation Plan!
[09:22] Aza
    Roll!
[09:25] Sak
    Let's start...
SIGN    Fuji Udon
[09:27] Sak

[09:36] Nat
    So good!
[09:37] Nat
    This is the flavor of the real deal!
[09:43] Cla
    There. It's cool enough now, Karin-san.
[09:48] Cla
    Is it good?
[09:49] Kar
    Yes, it's yummy.
[09:51] Nat
    You're spoiling her yet again.
[09:54] Sak
    I'm afraid...
[09:56] Sak
    I can't eat this udon.
[09:59] Sak
    Because it's...
[10:02] Sak
    steaming hot!
[10:03] Nat
    She's sensitive to hot food?
[10:04] Sak
    No, no, no!
[10:06] Sak
    I can't eat it unless
    someone blows on it for me!
[10:08] Bot
    You're hopeless.
SIGN    The staff ate it later.

[10:18] Sak
    Next, this store!
[10:20] Nat
    I know it's late to bring this up,
[10:22] Nat
    but I get the feeling this "Udon
    Annihilation Plan" is just a culinary tour.
[10:30] Nat
    Please try to not splatter your
    curry udon broth everywhere.
[10:34] Sak
    Okay, okay, don't sweat it.
[10:36] Kar
    Speaking of curry udon, I realized I
    misremembered that thing I said before.
[10:43] Kar
    What I meant to say was curry-flavored sh—

[11:00] Cla

    No, that skill won't get out curry stains.

[11:14] Cla
    The hot water is so nice!
[11:16] Kar
    It sure is!
[11:18] Nat
    But...
[11:19] Nat
    Why are we in a cauldron-shaped bath?
[11:21] Sak
    Well, we are in the land of Udon.
[11:24] Sak
    We'll boil ourselves in a pot
    for sleek, smooth skin!
[11:28] Sak
    Hey, our futons are all laid out.
[11:31] Sak
    Which means...
[11:34] Sak
    Let the pillow fight begin!
[11:42] Bot
    You're open!
[11:47] Nat
    Ow... ow...
[11:48] Nat
    At least try to hold back a little...
[11:57] Kar
    Wow, so pretty!
SIGN    Record 30: Starry Sky Imagination
[12:16] Sak
    There, look at that.
[12:17] Sak
    That's the Andromeda constellation.
[12:19] Nat
    Hold on a minute.
[12:20] Nat
    Isn't Andromeda an autumn constellation?
[12:24] Nat
    Why can we see it in summer?
[12:27] Sak
    Oh, that's because we're
    in the land of Udon.
[12:30] Sak
    The change in latitude means we see
    different stars than in Honshu.
[12:33] Kar
    But how is that Andromeda?
[12:36] Sak
    Well, because of this...
[12:39] Nat
    What? Was there always so much
    adult content in the night sky?
[12:42] Sak
    In ancient times, the night sky was
    the only entertainment people had.
[12:45] Sak
    It was a dark era where the
    sky shone full of stars.
[12:49] Sak
    The people back then would look up at
    the night sky and think things like:
[12:54] Man
    "Do those stars look like boobs to you?"
[12:56] Man
    "Sure do! I bet they're F-cups!"
[12:59] Nat
    You're taking your imagination too far!
[13:01] Bot
    Which must mean that those
     two stars were used like this...
[13:06] Nat
    Despicable!
[13:07] Nat
    Ancient people were despicable!
[13:09] Aza
    How does this look?
[13:11] Sak
    According to the legend, there was a
    whale that tried to eat Andromeda,
[13:15] Sak
    and he has a constellation, too.
[13:18] Cla
    Something like this?
[13:20] Sak
    Oh, you've got the idea.
[13:22] Sak
    But the correct answer is this!
[13:24] Sak
    Look!
[13:24] Sak
    Boom!
[13:25] Nat
    How is that a whale?
[13:27] Cla
    It looks like a naked mole rat.
[13:29] Sak
    Strictly speaking, it's actually
    a sea monster, but...
[13:31] Bot
    He's a serious nuisance to real whales.
[13:34] Sak
    In addition, the tyranny
    in the stars never ends!
[13:37] Sak
    Here! What constellation
    do you think this is?
[13:39] Nat
    Three stars... It's very simplistic.
[13:43] Kar
    A caterpillar constellation?
[13:45] Sak
    It's Vulpecula, a little fox!
[13:47] Bot
    Gon, is that you?
[13:49] Nat
    So human imagination has come this far?
[13:52] Cla
    It's as endless as the universe, it seems.
[13:54] Sak
    Here's another three-star constellation!
[13:56] Sak
    What is it?
[13:57] Kar
    The last one was a fox, so...
[14:00] Nat
    This must be something amazing too, right?
[14:01] Nat
    Like an anomalocaris
    constellation or something.
[14:03] Aza
    It's Triangulum, the triangle!
[14:05] Nat
    Why is this one so normal?!
[14:07] Sak
    There's an unconvincing outrageousness to it all!
[14:10] Sak
    This is the tyranny of imagination!
[14:13] Sak
    If that kind of thing is allowed, then...
[14:15] Sak
    I want us to be like this from now on!
[14:17] Bot
    A-Are you a genius?
[14:19] Cla
    Now we should get the episode out on time.
[14:21] Nat
    No, that's asking too much.
[14:22] Sak
    From now on, we can just
    sketch out the major points,
[14:24] Sak
    and leave the rest to the
    viewers' imagination.
[14:27] Cla
    Sakura-san, why are you
    taking off your clothes?
[14:30] Kar
    Sakura-senpai, you can't eat that!
[14:33] Bot
    Stop that! Don't treat
    your body so carelessly!
[14:35] Nat
    What is even going on?!
[14:38] Aza
    And so, the Going Home Club's training
    camp continued deep into the night.

[15:56] Nat
    Oh, it's Sakura-senpai.
[15:58] Nat
    Hello?
[15:59] Sak
    Hello! Is this Natsuki-chan of the Dead?
[16:01] Nat
    Who're you callin' a zombie?!
[16:05] Nat
    Huh? You're all going to the pool?
[16:07] Nat
    Yeah, I'll go!
SIGN    Reserved Today
[16:11] Girls
    Hooray!
[16:15] Cla
    It was already reserved for my family today.
[16:16] Kar
    Sakura-senpai, we haven't warmed up yet!
[16:17] Cla
    So don't worry and just enjoy yourself.
[16:31] ---
    Take that!
[16:43] Nat
    I wonder if they'll turn all of
    this into fanservice shots...
[16:47] Nat
    Huh? Where's Botan-senpai?
[16:49] Kar
    She said she was going to
    train in the shower first.
[16:58] Sak
    Even if you think you've acquired freedom...
[17:00] Sak
    you may just be trapped in another
    cage that goes by the name of freedom.
[17:04] Nat
    Where did that come from?
[17:10] Sak
    I was just thinking... in competitive
    swimming, there's a "freestyle,"
[17:13] Sak
    but people only actually choose the crawl.
[17:18] Kar
    That's true.
[17:19] Kar
    If everyone does the crawl,
    you shouldn't call it freestyle.
[17:22] Kar
    You should call it Crawl Second Chance.
[17:25] Sak
    Though, if someone did the doggy paddle
    because they felt they couldn't win,
[17:28] Sak
    it'd be more memorable than
    the swimmers who set records.
[17:30] Nat
    You still have to do your best.
[17:32] Nat
    If this were badminton,
    you'd get disqualified.
[17:35] Sak
    Yeah, that was pretty memorable.
[17:37] Sak
    Though, I forget the names of the players.
[17:39] Kar
    I wonder if you could use a kick board...
[17:42] Nat
    That really would be freestyle!
[17:43] Nat
    But people who still need those wouldn't
     participate, so I don't know!
[17:47] Cla
    I wonder if you could use a cruiser.
[17:49] Nat
    That's obviously out!
[17:51] Nat
    You wouldn't be swimming then.
[17:53] Sak
    Then, that's the real question.
[17:55] Sak
    What do the rules define as "swimming"?
[17:58] Nat
    Huh?
[17:59] Sak
    For instance, if you ran over
    the surface of the water,
[18:02] Sak
    would that be considered
    acceptable "freestyle swimming"?
[18:06] Cla
    I imagine Botan-san could do that.
[18:08] Nat
    No way. Not even Botan-senpai could...
[18:11] Bot
    Hey, everyone!
[18:16] Bot
    Sorry for making you wait!
[18:34] Sak
    When I think about it,
[18:36] Sak
    the really frustrating thing might
    not be "freedom in name only,"
[18:38] Sak
    but half-baked freedom.
[18:40] Kar
    Half-baked freedom?
[18:43] Sak
    Yes. For instance, summer
    vacation research projects.

SIGN    It really did cook in three minutes. The end.
[18:46] Sak
    They say you can pick anything,
[18:48] Sak
    but there's still pressure
[18:49] Sak
    to not pick something too random.
[18:51] Bot
    You're right.
[18:53] Bot
    There's such a thing as
    "freedom with restrictions."
[18:56] Bot
    I can't count how many times
    I've thought about collecting
[18:59] Bot
    pushy teachers and turning them in as samples.
[19:01] Nat
    She comes up with scary ideas.
[19:03] Cla
    Speaking of which, Natsuki-san, what
    kind of research projects have you done?
[19:06] Nat
    I made a disappointing shishi-odoshi.
[19:10] Kar
    What? A disappointing one?
[19:12] Nat
    It doesn't bonk on the ground when it fills up.
[19:15] Cla
    That's a novel kind of shishi-odoshi.
[19:17] Nat
    And I made a piggy bank that lets you
    save 250 yen of a 500 yen coin.
SIGN    It only goes in halfway...
[19:21] Bot
    That doesn't sound like a very useful bank.
[19:24] Nat
    Well, I figured it didn't matter.
[19:26] Cla
    Natsuki-san, you seem very anti-establishment
    when it comes to your summer homework.
[19:31] Sak
    I watched the 7 AM news
    every day and counted
[19:34] Sak
    the number of times the newscaster
    fumbled over her words.
[19:37] Bot
    That's an unpleasant outlook.
[19:39] Sak
    As a result,
[19:40] Sak
    I learned that even pros
    make a lot of mistakes,
[19:42] Sak
    and that there are a lot of things in
    this world that will never be free.
[19:46] Nat
    That sounds like very worthwhile research.
[19:48] Sak
    Yes.
[19:49] Sak
    So it's not really possible for
    us to acquire true freedom.
[19:55] Cla
    That's true.
[19:56] Cla
    Grown-up stuff and company intentions
    will always put restrictions on us.
[20:02] Bot
    Yeah.
[20:03] Bot
    After all, when we just wanted to
    talk about Epic RPG a little bit...
[20:08] Bot
    it ended up like this.
[20:37] Sak
    Freedom is merely an illusion.
[20:41] Sak
    It doesn't exist anywhere in this world.
[20:54] Sak
    You know...
[21:00] Sak
    There's nowhere left to go with this
    subject, so let's end the episode here!
[21:04] Nat
    That's too free!

    and walks on its nose, as the name suggests.

    The world really is full of mysterious things!

[23:05] Bot
    Natsuki. So... that was the real you!
[23:10] Nat
    Are you still looking at me that way?
[23:12] Kar
    I-I hear Nat-chan's voice,
    but I don't see her anywhere!
[23:17] Kar
    Nat-chan!
[23:18] Kar
    Where are you?
[23:19] Nat
    Are you messing with me?
[23:20] Nat
    I'm here, right in front of you!
[23:24] Kar
    Who are you?
[23:28] Kar
    Nat-chan! Come back!

    Karin! Come back to reality!
