**[00:09] shu**
Such a lazy day.
**[00:13] kiri**
Shouldn't we be doing more than this?
**[00:16] kiri**
It's summer vacation, but we're hanging
out at the Kurotama Bath like usual...
**[00:20] shu**
What's the problem?
**[00:24] karl**
Hey! What are you guys doing,
lazing around here?
**[00:28] karl**
A brilliant Earth institution known
as summer vacation is transpiring!
**[00:31] karl**
We need to enjoy it, happy-style!
**[00:33] shu**
Here comes Mr. Enthusiasm.
**[00:35] waku**
It's hot enough in here already.
**[00:37] kiri**
Huh? He seems different than usual...
**[00:41] karu**
Dye your hair, pierce your ears,
ride off on a stolen bike!
**[00:47] karu**
I hear that's what Japanese
summer vacation is all about!
**[00:49] kiri**
No, I think you've been misinformed.
**[00:52] karu**
What did you say?!
**[00:55] dogo**
You're like a nerd trying to change
his image over summer break.
**[00:57] ban**
Summer break image changes
**[00:59] ban**
are a phenomenon related to increased
serotonin production in the brain,
**[01:01] ban**
which is caused by the
longer periods of sunlight.
**[01:06] ban**
Serotonin regulates the balance
between dopamine and adrenaline,
**[01:12] ban**
so it fills one with an increased desire
to stand out and attract the opposite sex.
**[01:19] karl**
Just what does a proper Japanese
summer vacation consist of, then?!
**[01:24] shu**
Good question.
**[01:26] shu**
I'd say...
**[01:29] dogo**
We are aliens!
**[01:31] shu**
For instance.
**[01:34] man**
Who put mosquito incense here?!
**[01:37] shu**
For instance.
**[01:40] kiri**
I thought it was barley tea,
but it's dipping broth!
**[01:43] shu**
For instance.
**[01:45] karu**
That's a proper Japanese summer vacation?!
**[01:47] karu**
That's not at all what I learned
in my tributary rule classes!
**[01:52] kiri**
What *did* you learn?
**[01:53] karl**
You sleep in late every day,
**[01:55] karl**
play three baseball games a day,
**[01:59] karl**
and on the last day of summer vacation
**[02:01] karl**
you cry and get your family
to help you with your homework!
**[02:03] karl**
Right?
**[02:04] waku**
So your textbook was a certain
long-running anime, was it?
**[02:08] shu**
It seems accurate... yet inaccurate.
**[02:14] karl**
Anyway, we mustn't waste a single day!
**[02:17] karl**
We need to hurry up and have a proper
summer vacation. Let's be happy together!

Question 1
Defense Club
What is a proper summer vacation?
**[04:01] karl**
Anyone with an opinion?
**[04:02] dogo**
Me, me, me, me!
**[04:04] dogo**
Beach! Fireworks! Camping!
**[04:06] waku**
Summer's not complete without
watermelon smashing.
**[04:09] dogo**
Great idea!
**[04:10] dogo**
And what about nagashi-somen?
**[04:15] man**
Shaved ice, too.
**[04:18] kiri**
Chilled ramen is summery, too!
**[04:20] [SONG] sign**
Chilled Ramen Shaved Ice Nagashi-Somen
Watermelon Smashing Camping
Fireworks Beach
**[04:24] karl**
It's all so summery
and bursting with happiness!
**[04:28] kiri**
Let's decide what to do with a show of hands.
**[04:32] all**
I'm in!
**[04:33] kiri**
Okay, first. Who wants to go to the beach?
**[04:35] dogo**
Me, me, me!
**[04:38] shu**
Going to the beach in this season is suicide.
**[04:42] shu**
The seas will be swarming with jellyfish.
**[04:44] wak**
Well, I wouldn't want
to be swarmed...
**[04:47] dogo**
What happens if a jellyfish stings you?
**[04:49] man**
Some say it increases your chances
of developing a natto allergy.
**[04:53] dogo**
I won't be able to eat natto?! I'm out!
***SIGN*** Beach
**[04:58] kiri**
The beach is out.
**[04:59] kiri**
Next, who wants to go see fireworks?
**[05:02] kiri**
Me, me!
**[05:05] shu**
Those events are so crowded.
**[05:07] shu**
They pack you in like sardines.
**[05:10] wak**
Well, I wouldn't want
to be packed...
**[05:11] dogo**
Packed in like sardines?
You couldn't go home if you wanted to!
**[05:14] man**
To advance would be hell.
To retreat would be hell.
***SIGN*** Fireworks
**[05:19] kiri**
Fireworks are out, too?
**[05:23] kiri**
Next, who wants to go camping?
**[05:25] all**
Me!
**[05:31] shu**
Isn't camping just living out of a tent?
**[05:34] kiri**
Fine, I guess they're all out!
**[05:37] [SONG] sign**
All!!
**[05:39] karl**
We ended up not picking anything.
**[05:42] shu**
No need to rush.
**[05:43] shu**
We have a lot of time left.
**[05:44] kiri**
There's only one day left!
**[05:49] karl**
When am I gonna get to enjoy
a proper Japanese summer vacation?!
***SIGN*** Radio Calisthenics
***SIGN*** How to Rule a Tributary
**[05:59] karl**
It says radio calisthenics are a
*classic* summer vacation activity!
**[06:03] karl**
Let's do it together and happy up!
**[06:07] shu**
Can't.
**[06:08] shu**
Radio calisthenics have
to be done in the morning.
**[06:11] kiri**
But he's not against the act itself...
**[06:13] karl**
But it's our chance to enjoy
a proper summer vacation!
**[06:16] man**
Oh?
***SIGN*** Participation
Card
**[06:25] dogo**
He's camping!
**[06:26] kiri**
I think he's just living out of a tent.
**[06:28] waku**
Isn't that Rashio Taison
from the class next to ours?
***SIGN*** Rashio Taison
**[06:34] kiri**
What? That guy's in high school?
**[06:36] waku**
I heard he's failed to graduate
almost ten times.
**[06:40] dogo**
Does that mean... uh,
how old would he be now?
**[06:44] shu**
What's he doing?
**[06:45] dogo**
Camping?
**[06:47] dogo**
No... living out of a tent?
**[06:51] kiri**
What exactly is the difference between
camping and living out of a tent?
**[06:55] waku**
I feel like a certain
spirit of fun is required.
**[06:59] man**
Yeah, the primary qualifier would be
whether or not you chose to be there.
**[07:03] man**
When you do it of your own
free will, you're camping.
**[07:04] man**
When you're forced into it,
you're living out of a tent.
**[07:07] shu**
Even though everything else
is basically the same.
**[07:12] dogo**
Excuse me!
**[07:14] dogo**
What are you doing?
**[07:17] man**
He talked to him.
**[07:19] ra**
Isn't it obvious? I'm waiting
for radio calisthenics.
**[07:23] kiri**
Why?
**[07:25] ra**
I don't want to be late
to tomorrow's radio calisthenics,
**[07:29] ra**
so I'm staying the night
here instead of going home.
***SIGN*** Participation Card
**[07:37] shi**
I've been nurturing my passion for radio
calisthenics ever since I was in elementary school.
**[07:42] shi**
I've participated every morning,
without fail, and gotten every single stamp.
**[07:47] shi**
Yet on the 31st, every year,
I always fail to participate!
***SIGN*** Saturday
**[07:54] ra**
My alarm clock malfunctions...
**[08:05] ra**
I get trapped by unforeseen circumstances...
**[08:08] ra**
Then, last year, I ran into the most
ridiculous obstacle imaginable!
**[08:13] ra**
It's become a curse!
**[08:20] ra**
I can't graduate until I
get the stamp for the 31st!
**[08:25] kiri**
Is that why you haven't graduated?
**[08:27] ra**
This year, at last, I will break the curse!
**[08:30] ra**
Until I get that stamp,
**[08:32] ra**
my summer vacation will never end!
**[08:36] karl**
Everyone has their own form
of summer vacation, I guess.
**[08:46] una**
A tropical island isn't a bad
way to spend summer vacation.
**[08:50] ibu**
Indeed.
**[08:51] shira**
Aww. I guess summer vacation is over.
**[08:55] fura**
Sniff, sniff, sniff.
**[08:56] fura**
I smell the odor of unhappiness.
**[09:06] [SONG] sign**
Canceled today (31st)
due to rain
**[09:12] ra**
Why...
**[09:15] sign**
Why must you get in my way?

**[09:40] ibu**
Is that...
**[09:41] fura**
He's about to explode from
resentment and anger.
**[09:45] fura**
It's time for us to spread fear.
**[09:51] ra**
Until I complete radio calisthenics properly,
my summer vacation will never end!
**[09:55] ra**
You can't call it off because of rain!
**[09:59] ibu**
Your feelings are entirely reasonable.
**[10:01] ibu**
Just because it's summer vacation
**[10:03] ibu**
doesn't mean students shouldn't have
structure in their daily lives.
**[10:07] ibu**
Your daily radio calisthenics
participation is a symbol of that,
**[10:11] ibu**
but society continually gets in your way.
**[10:15] ibu**
This is unacceptable.
**[10:17] ra**
Aren't you guys... the student council...
**[10:20] ibu**
In this fallen world,
**[10:22] ibu**
don't you want to teach people
the value of proper structure?

**[11:17] karl**
Oh no, oh no!
**[11:19] karl**
I got caught up in the routine
and let the day slip by!
**[11:23] karl**
It's the 31st already!
**[11:25] karl**
It's the last day of summer vacation!
**[11:27] karl**
Are you just going to let it
end without doing anything?!
**[11:30] waku**
What do you want?
**[11:31] waku**
It's pouring outside.
**[11:32] waku**
We can't go anywhere.
**[11:34] waku**
I'm getting a chill. I'm going back in.
**[11:36] karl**
We've had enough of the bath!
**[11:39] karl**
We need to have a proper Japanese summer!
**[11:41] shu**
But... we can't, not in this weather.
**[11:48] shu**
Well, in that case...
**[11:50] karl**
Do we have a deal?
**[11:52] shu**
I guess.
**[11:53] kiri**
What do you mean, a deal.
**[11:56] shu**
It means we're about to have a proper
Japanese summer vacation together.
**[12:00] kiri**
What? But you were so against it! Why?
**[12:07] karl**
Someone's unhappy!
**[12:13] mon**
One, two, three, four!
**[12:15] mon**
Two, two, three, four!
**[12:17] mon**
Three, two, three, four!
**[12:20] mon**
Four, two, three, four!
**[12:20] man**
Huh? I can't stop...
**[12:22] mon**
Five, two, three, four!
**[12:24] mon**
Six, two, three, four!
**[12:36] mon**
Until I achieve my heart's desire,
**[12:38] mon**
I'll never let summer vacation end!
**[12:41] mon**
It will be August 31st forever!
**[12:50] kiri**
What's he doing?
**[12:51] man**
He's forcing the whole town
to do radio calisthenics!
**[12:55] dogo**
I can't believe how inconsiderate he is!
**[12:57] waku**
Yeah.
**[12:58] kiri**
Leader, what should we do?
**[13:00] shu**
Are we still doing that?
**[13:02] karl**
He's currently in the depths
of anger and suffering!
**[13:06] karl**
We need to make him happy!
**[13:08] karl**
Or so I'd like to say...
**[13:10] karl**
But first we need to have
our proper summer vacation!
**[13:14] karl**
Let's go, everyone!
**[13:19] mon**
Hey! Don't ignore me!
**[13:21] mon**
Wait up! Come back!
**[13:24] karl**
First, we're going to the beach!
**[13:27] dogo**
It's f-freezing!
**[13:31] karl**
Everyone... smile!
**[13:41] karl**
Now, time for watermelon smashing!
**[13:44] kiri**
Wakura-senpai, more to the right!
**[13:47] waku**
This way?
**[13:50] kiri**
No, no! Right! Right!
**[13:52] waku**
What? This way?
**[13:58] kiri**
Wakura-senpai...
**[14:01] waku**
Aw, so close.
**[14:03] karu**
Time to get moving!
**[14:05] karu**
Next up is...
**[14:09] mon**
Don't ignore me!
**[14:12] shu**
Sorry, but we're a bit busy right now.
**[14:15] shu**
What's next?
**[14:16] karl**
Nagashi-somen, go!
**[14:18] karl**
Karurururu!
**[14:21] mon**
Wait! Wait!
**[14:25] mon**
You just gotta have cold stuff in summer!
**[14:38] karl**
Okay, time to move on!
**[14:40] karl**
Where are we going next?
**[14:42] karl**
Camping!
**[14:43] man**
Not living in tents?
**[14:44] dogo**
If it's in the spirit of fun,
it's camping! Right?
**[14:49] waku**
That's right.
**[14:50] kiri**
This feels less "spirit of fun"
and more "spirit of fear," though...
**[14:58] karl**
Everyone, fight hard!
**[15:00] karl**
Fight hard, fight happy!
**[15:07] mon**
I won't let you escape this time!
**[15:09] waku**
He's back.
**[15:11] dogo**
So persistent!
**[15:13] man**
He knows we're busy right now, dammit!
**[15:15] kiri**
Taishi?
**[15:19] man**
Focus on lighting the fire.
**[15:21] mon**
I'm telling you not to ignore me!
**[15:26] mon**
He did it!
**[15:28] kiri**
Thank you, monster!
**[15:29] kiri**
Thanks so much!
**[15:30] mon**
Heck, it's nothing...
**[15:32] kiri**
A little token of our gratitude.
**[15:34] mon**
I'm honored.
**[15:40] mon**
Hey! Hey!
**[15:43] kiri**
I guess we should deal with this first?
**[15:45] shu**
Yeah, I guess we should.
**[15:48] karl**
Yeah, I guess we'll transform!
**[15:50] karl**
Become Karl's Knights Happy Kiss
and save the people!
**[16:04] karl**
Now, make your pledge with a kiss.
**[16:40] karl**
Magic Knight of Flowers, Fiore Kiss!
**[16:54] karl**

**[17:38] karl**
Like the flowers that

**[17:41] karl**
Like the stars that shine in the night sky...
**[17:43] karl**
Like the moon that illuminates
everything below...
**[17:46] karl**
Like the snow that gently
embraces the land...
**[17:48] karl**
Let's bring happiness to the universe!
**[17:51] karl**
We are the magic knights who bring happiness!
**[17:55] karl**
Karls Knights Happy Kiss!
**[17:59] karl**
Knights contract complete!
**[18:02] man**
Stop dragging others into
your personal obsession!
**[18:04] dogo**
If you wanna do radio calisthenics that bad,
just do them by yourself!
**[18:08] mon**
But, at this rate, it will never end!
**[18:10] mon**
I need my last summer as a
student to end in perfection!
**[18:14] shu**
Is it really something
to get that worked up about?
**[18:17] shu**
You can still do radio calisthenics
even if you're not a student.
**[18:21] kiri**
My grandpa does radio calisthenics
every morning all year round.
**[18:28] mon**
You can do radio calisthenics
even if you're not a student?
**[18:34] mon**
You can do radio calisthenics
even if it's not summer vacation?
**[18:39] mon**
So even if summer vacation ends...
**[18:42] mon**
Even if I graduate from school...
**[18:44] mon**
My radio calisthenics will continue forever!
**[18:49] mon**
Now! Use your powers
combined to make him happy!
**[18:53] mon**
Are you happy?
**[18:54] mon**
Yes!
**[18:54] mon**
Are you happy?
**[18:56] mon**
Yes!
**[18:56] mon**
Are you happy?
**[18:57] mon**
Yes!
**[18:58] mon**
Are you happy?
**[18:59] mon**
Yes!
**[18:59] mon**
Are you happy?
**[19:00] mon**
Yes!
**[19:01] mon**
Let's happy hour!
**[19:04] mon**
Happy and Set!
**[19:17] mon**
Return to happiness!
**[19:20] mon**
Happy and Turn!
**[19:31] mon**
I feel radio calis-cleansed.
**[19:39] shu**
Happy End!
**[19:41] shu**
Happy Powder!
**[19:52] ra**
Huh?
**[19:53] ra**
What am I doing out in the mountains?
**[19:59] shu**
It's morning, huh?
**[20:01] karl**
It's morning!
**[20:02] karl**
Time to do radio calisthenics!
**[20:07] ra**
Okay, let's look alive here!
**[20:09] ra**
We'll start with some arm swings!
**[20:14] ra**
One, two, three, four!
**[20:17] ra**
Two, two, three, four!
**[20:21] ra**
Four, two, three, four!
**[20:24] ra**
Five, two, three, four!
**[20:28] ra**
Six, two, three, four!
**[20:32] ra**
C'mon! I can't hear you!
**[20:33] ra**
You! Move your arms more!
**[20:36] ra**
Yes sir!
**[20:40] una**
Now, now.
**[20:41] una**
We'll have more chances in the new school term.
**[20:53] shira**
Wait a minute, Ibusuki-senpai!
**[20:59] kiri**
By the way, what was the
deal you made with Karls?
**[21:06] (Flashback) kar**
If you let me have a proper summer vacation,
**[21:08] (Flashback) kar**
I'll grant any wish you want with magic.
**[21:12] kiri**
So, what did you wish for?
**[21:14] shu**
For summer vacation to last one more day.
**[21:17] shu**
I want to spend it doing nothing.
**[21:22] kiri**
Which means today is August 31st again?
**[21:26] waku**
So, in a strange way,
he got his heart's desire.
**[21:30] kiri**
Should we tell him?
**[21:31] waku**
No, no reason to.
**[21:33] dogo**
W-Wait a minute!
**[21:35] dogo**
Then today isn't the 31st! It's the 32nd!
**[21:39] man**
What would the 32nd be?
**[21:41] dogo**
If we have a second 31st,
it would be the 32nd!
**[21:46] dogo**
Or would it be a first September 1st?
**[21:48] dogo**
Would that make tomorrow
the second September 1st?
**[21:54] waku**
It's a real philosophical
conundrum, isn't it?
**[21:58] shu**
Let's just not think about it.
**[22:01] kiri**
Good idea.
**[22:02] kiri**
It's still summer vacation,
so let's do something fun!
**[22:05] shu**
I want to take it as easy as possible.
**[22:07] dogo**
Me, me, me!
**[22:09] dogo**
Fireworks, fireworks, fireworks!
**[22:10] dogo**
Let's do a fireworks show!
**[22:11] man**
Is a fireworks show a thing that you do?
**[22:14] man**
They're a thing you go to, I thought.
**[22:15] waku**
Yeah.
**[22:16] dogo**
Let's go to a fireworks show
and firework it up!
