    Atsushi... you know...
[00:16] en
    There's something I've been
    thinking about lately.
[00:19] at
    What is it, En-chan?
[00:20] at
    The Ol*mpics?
[00:21] at
    The constitution?
[00:22] at
    Chikuwabu?
[00:23] en
    No, time.
[00:25] at
    Time?
[00:26] en
    We only just got promoted to 3rd years,
[00:29] en
    and it was autumn before we knew it.
[00:31] en
    We missed all our chances for summer fun.
[00:34] en
    You know?
[00:35] io
    Not true, Yufuin-senpai.
[00:38] io
    We went to both
[00:39] io
    Danran Beach and Mt. Binan.
[00:42] ryu
    Is your memory getting fuzzy already?
    That's an aging danger sign!
[00:46] ats
    En-chan, your kouhai are worried about you.
[00:49] en
    Yeah,
[00:50] en
    but it didn't feel like we were going
    to the mountains or the beach for fun.
[00:53] en
    It's too late now,
[00:55] en
    but it's always been my dream to
    make lots of fun summer memories.
[00:59] io
    You know the saying.
[01:01] io
    "Time doesn't betray dreams," and vice versa.
[01:04] en
    Does anyone even know what that means?
[01:06] at
    In my opinion, it means that
    the time you spend working
[01:09] at
    puts you that much closer to your dreams...
[01:11] en
    Atsushi. You don't actually
    have to analyze it.
[01:14] ryu
    Hey, you know sand clocks?
[01:17] at
    That's pretty out of the blue.
[01:18] ryu
    Well, talking about clocks
    in the bath reminded me.
[01:21] ryu
    Sand clocks.
[01:22] io
    Saunas have them a lot, don't they?
[01:24] en
    Io, have you been to a sauna?
[01:27] io
    A friend of mine has one at home.
[01:29] io
    A Finnish sauna.
[01:30] io
    It's basically a steam bath.
[01:32] en
    They slap their backs with
    birch branches, don't they?
[01:36] io
    What? Do they?
[01:37] en
    You didn't know?
[01:38] at
    Anyway, Ryuu, what were
    you saying about sand clocks?
[01:41] ryu
    With a sand clock, you know?
[01:42] ryu
    It's a clock, but it doesn't
    tell you what time it is.
[01:46] ryu
    It claims to be a time-telling device,
[01:47] ryu
    but it won't actually tell you the time.
[01:50] ryu
    So how is it a clock?
[01:51] io
    But isn't that true of a stopwatch, as well?
[01:55] ryu
    Oh, right.
[01:56] ryu
    But somehow that just doesn't sit right.
[01:59] at
    A sand clock is known as
    an "hourglass" in English.
[02:01] at
    It's not a watch or a clock.
[02:03] ryu
    Sand and glass? They're the same thing!
[02:05] en
    I can't believe you guys
[02:07] en
    kept this stupid conversation up this long.
[02:10] at
    En-chan, are you really one to talk?
[02:13] en
    What do you mean?
[02:17] yu
    You use a sand clock when
    you get an enema, right?
[02:20] both
    Enema?!
[02:21] yu
    Because after it goes in,
[02:22] yu
    you need to hold it in for a while.
[02:25] en
    Really?
[02:26] en
    I never knew sand clocks
    bore such a noble mission.
[02:29] ryu
    But Yumoto,
[02:30] ryu
    why do you know something so hardcore?
[02:33] yu
    Well, when I was little, my big brother would always make me...
[02:35] io
    We don't need to hear this.
[02:37] at
    They never change.
[02:39] at
    That Earth Defense Club!
[02:41] en
    You know, you're a member of it, too...
[02:47] gero
    I knew it!
[02:48] gero
    You're all here, eh?
[02:50] ari
    Hey there.
[02:51] yu
    Come on in!
[02:53] ryu
    What do you mean, you knew it?
[02:57] gero
    The Earth Defense Club
[02:59] gero
    can always be found marinating
    at Kurotama Bath.
[03:02] io
    Excellent observation.
[03:08] ari
    I initially turned up my nose at
    the thought of public bathing.
[03:11] ari
    But it's quite nice when you get used to it.
[03:14] en
    Right?
[03:15] en
    You can't stretch out in the bath at home.
[03:18] yu
    Go on!
[03:18] yu
    Sink right in down to your shoulders!
[03:21] yu
    Our hot water comes right from a hot spring!
[03:24] at
    Hey.
[03:32] at
    It's been a while.
[03:34] kusa
    We see each other in school every day.
[03:36] at
    Oh.
[03:37] at
    That's right.
[03:39] at
    I guess it's been hard, huh?
[03:42] kusa
    What has?
[03:44] at
    Well... you know...
[03:46] at
    stuff?
[03:48] kusa
    "Stuff"?
[03:49] kusa
    That's incredibly vague.
[03:51] at
    True...
[03:54] yu
    That reminds me.
[03:55] yu
    Aren't you student council
    guys gonna study abroad?
[03:58] ryu
    Hey!
[03:58] io
    Hush!
[04:00] kusa
    Yeah.
[04:01] kusa
    We head out tomorrow.
[04:02] yu
    Lucky!
[04:03] yu
    You know, I've never ever been on a plane!
[04:07] yu
    What does it feel like?
[04:09] kusa
    You just fly, like normal.
[04:12] yu
    Come on!
[04:13] yu
    But what's normal? That's I want to know!
[04:16] yu
    Is it exciting?
[04:18] yu
    Is it invigorating?!
[04:19] kusa
    It's not...
[04:21] kusa
    especially exciting.
[04:22] kusa
    Nor is it invigorating, I suppose.
[04:25] kusa
    I don't really know.
[04:28] en
    Yumoto! Yumoto!
[04:29] yu
    What?
[04:30] en
    Just get over here!
[04:32] yu
    Okay...
[04:34] en
    Leave the two of them alone.
[04:36] yu
    What?
[04:37] yu
    Here, you mean?
[04:39] io
    Yes, here!
[04:40] yu
    Why?
[04:41] en
    Because!
[04:43] gero
    Arima-san, have you finished
    your preparations?
[04:45] ari
    More or less.
[04:47] gero
    It doesn't feel real to me yet.
[04:51] ari
    Same here.
[04:53] ari
    But it's even worse for Kinshiro, I believe.
[04:57] kusa
    You seem rather busy.
[05:00] at
    No, things are pretty normal here.
[05:13] kusa
    Tomorrow—
[05:13] at
    How about—
[05:14] at
    What?
[05:15] kusa
    Nothing.
[05:17] at
    Tomorrow what?
[05:18] kusa
    Tomorrow...
[05:20] kusa
    I was wondering if anything was going on.
[05:23] at
    With me?
[05:24] at
    Well, you're flying out, right, Kin-chan?
[05:26] kusa
    No, not that.
[05:28] kusa
    I mean overall.
[05:29] at
    Overall?
[05:31] at
    I don't know.
[05:35] ryu
    Look at this!
[05:36] ryu
    It's hell! Sweet and sour pastry hell!
[05:39] en
    Just say it!
[05:40] en
    Say "I'll go see you off!"
[05:41] en
    Say "Come and see me off!"
[05:42] io
    Hey, back off.
[05:44] io
    The ice just started melting after so long.
[05:47] io
    Our job is just to watch and hope for the best.
[05:49] ari
    Something that's been balled up
     for so many years
[05:51] ari
    won't untangle that easily.
[05:53] io
    You said it, Arima-san.
[05:55] yu
    Huh? What do you mean?
[05:56] yu
    What won't untangle?
[05:58] all
    Never mind! You just sit!
[06:03] yu
    But President Kusatsu
[06:04] yu
    looks a lot like Mr. Tawarayama right now!
[06:07] ryu
    You mean the blank expression?
    That's typical for him.
[06:09] en
    Yeah...
[06:11] yu
    No!
[06:12] yu
    I mean he's floating, with Atsushi-senpai!
[06:17] en
    Did they pass out from the heat?
[06:19] gero
    President!
SIGN    Love, Once More!
[06:30] en
    Knowing Atsushi,
[06:32] en
    he felt awkward pushing to come see him off
[06:34] en
    when he wasn't invited.
[06:36] ari
    And Kinshiro probably thought
[06:37] ari
    asking him to come see him off
[06:39] ari
    would be a shameless request.
[06:42] yu
    They could have just said it.
[06:44] yu
    Why didn't they say it?
[06:46] io
    Things are complicated
    when you're a grown-up.
[06:51] ari
    Are you awake, Kinshiro?
[06:55] yu
    Are you okay?
[06:57] kusa
    I seem to have fainted.
[06:59] kusa
    I'm sorry for the trouble.
[07:05] yu
    Atsushi-senpai's not awake yet!
[07:08] kusa
    Well,
[07:09] kusa
    I have to get home soon
[07:11] kusa
    to get ready for tomorrow.
[07:12] ari
    Here!
[07:13] kusa
    Thank you.
[07:15] kusa
    Now, Earth Defense Club.
[07:17] kusa
    Please try not to cause any
    trouble while we're abroad.
[07:20] yu
    Oh, yeah!
[07:21] yu
    Could we come to see you off tomorrow?
[07:26] yu
    I want to see a plane!
[07:27] yu
    Can we?
[07:30] gero
    What should we do, President?
[07:32] kusa
    If you want to come, do so.
[07:34] kusa
    We have no authority to stop you.
[07:36] gero
    Well, I guess that's that.
[07:39] ari
    See you.
[07:40] yu
    Yes!
[07:42] en
    Atsushi, you okay?
[07:44] ryu
    The student council just left.
[07:46] atsu
    I know.
[07:49] atsu
    Yumoto...
[07:51] atsu
    Thanks.
[07:52] yu
    For what?
[07:53] atsu
    Well... nothing.
[07:56] yu
    Atsushi-senpai, are you cold?
[07:58] en
    Should we go back in?
[08:00] ryu
    Sure.
[08:01] ryu
    I don't have any dates to go on today.
[08:03] io
    And the Tokyo markets are already closed.
[08:11] en
    Atsushi, you're way too dere.
[08:13] atsu
    Me?
[08:14] atsu
    Really?
[08:17] atsu
    I was thinking, in hindsight,
[08:19] atsu
    the Battle Lovers wasn't bad at all.
[08:23] en
    You think?
[08:24] en
    These things are the root of all evil.
[08:26] atsu
    I know, that's why I said "in hindsight."
[08:29] atsu
    All's well that ends well, you know?
[08:31] ryu
    Kinugawa-senpai, you're really generous.
[08:34] io
    Very far-sighted thinking.
[08:36] yu
    I had fun with our Battle
    Lover club activity, too!
[08:39] four
    Don't call it a club activity!
[08:41] yu
    We just need Wom-san
    and Mr. Tawarayama to show up,
[08:44] yu
    and we'll have the whole gang!
[08:46] en
    Speak of the devil.
[08:48] both
    Wom-san?
[08:51] mon
    I am...
[08:51] yu

    Did you behold my power?
[09:16] mon
    Time Stopper!
[09:19] yu
    Wow, he startled me!
[09:21] yu
    He startled me so much I forgot to breathe!
[09:23] ryu
    He's sounding kind of cool, though...
[09:25] io
    You think that's cool? Really?
[09:28] io
    I mean, I know "Show Stopper"...
[09:30] en
    But why a monster?
[09:32] en
    I thought we beat Zundar and Hireashi.
[09:34] atsu
    He should have been demoted to assistant director.
[09:37] yu
    You intend to stand against us, do you?
[09:39] yu
    Senpais!
[09:40] yu
    Let's Love Making into the Battle Lovers!

    Your time ends now.

    Big bro!

    Oh, there's a very important galaxy-spanning reason...
[11:32] goro
    Someone who can't wash off
[11:34] goro
    before getting in the bath,
    talking about the galaxy?!
[11:36] goro
    What kind of crap is that?!

    I'm sorry!

[11:50] ryu
    What?
[11:51] ryu
    Don't tell the student council?
[11:53] io
    Why not?
[11:54] en
    They're about to go study abroad.
[11:57] en
    I don't want to worry them.
[11:59] ryu
    But what if Zundar's
    pulling the strings again?
[12:03] atsu
    No way.
[12:04] atsu
    Kin-chan wouldn't do anything so cowardly.
[12:07] ryu
    Sorry.
[12:10] en
    You have nothing to apologize for, Ryuu.
[12:12] en
    But if they're not behind it,
[12:15] en
    we have to figure out what
    the hell happened yesterday.

    Yes,
