I didn't know Nana-chan had a dog.

***SIGN*** OK!
**[00:42] Nana**
Makocchan's stickers are so cute.
**[00:44] Nana**
Whoops. It's gotten pretty late.
**[00:51] Nana**
Pochi!
**[00:52] Nana**
It's time for your food!

**[02:44] Nana**
I slept so well!
**[02:47] Nana**
Morning, Pochi. Today is
your check-up today at the—
**[02:50] Nana**
Huh? The cage is open?
**[02:54] Nana**
Pochi?
**[03:07] Nana**
Pochi! Where are you?!
**[03:09] Nana**
What? How? Where are you?
Pochi, where are you?!
**[03:13] Nana**
Not here!
**[03:14] Nana**
Not here...
**[03:15] Nana**
Not here... Not here...
**[03:18] Nana**
Not here!
**[03:20] Nana**
I've never forgotten to latch
the cage door before.
**[03:24] Nana**
It must be because I stayed up so late.
**[03:30] Nana**
The door to my room is open, too...
**[03:33] Nana**
Don't tell me he's gone outside.
**[03:41] Nana**
It's shut.
**[03:43] Nana**
So he must still be in the house.
**[03:46] Nana**
He's not on the second floor...
**[03:49] Nana**
so I have to search the first floor.
**[03:55] Nana; internal**
*Not here, either!*
**[03:57] Nana; internal**
*Please, show yourself, Pochi!*
**[03:59] Runa**
You're finally awake, huh, Nana?
**[04:03] Runa**
Huh? Why'd you yelp like that?
**[04:07] Nana**
N-No reason.
**[04:09] Runa**
Pochi's going to the vet today,
right? Don't forget!
**[04:12] Nana**
I-I won't.
**[04:14] Runa**
Still...
**[04:15] Runa**
You know I'm not great around Pochi,
so make absolutely sure you don't let him out!
**[04:20] Nana**
O-Of course! Of course! Don't worry!
**[04:22] Runa**
You don't need to shout.
**[04:25] Runa**
Oh, Mom set out some cake
for us in the living room.
**[04:28] Runa**
You should come have some, too.
**[04:30] Nana**
Um, okay.
**[04:31] Nana; internal**
*This is bad! Really bad!*
**[04:33] Nana; internal**
* If she finds out Pochi escaped,*
* she's gonna be so mad at me!*
**[04:36] Nana; internal**
*I have to find Pochi before my sister does!*
**[04:44] Nana**
M-Morning.
**[04:46] Nana's mom**
Morning, Nana. Though it's already afternoon.
**[04:49] Nana's mom**
I bought some good black tea and cake.
**[04:51] Nana's mom**
Won't you join us?
**[04:53] Nana**
O-Okay.
**[04:58] Nana; internal**
* This is no time for tea!*
* Where are you, Pochi?*
**[05:05] Nana; internal**
*Found him!*
**[05:07] Runa**
What's wrong?
**[05:10] Nana**
Some tea... went down the wrong way.
**[05:13] Nana's mom**
Are you all right?
**[05:14] Runa**
That's what happens when you
drink too fast. Be careful, okay?
**[05:18] Nana**
Yeah, you're right.
**[05:21] Nana; internal**
* Pochi, of all the places*
* you could have ended up...*
**[05:23] Nana; internal**
* I have to catch him*
* without anyone noticing!*
**[05:26] Nana; internal**
*Please don't move until my sister leaves!*
**[05:31] Runa**
This tea is so good!
I think I'll have another cup!
**[05:39] Runa**
What? You've been acting
awfully strange today.
**[05:42] Nana**
Oh, uh... It's nothing.
**[05:45] Nana; internal**
* Pochi, don't tell me you think her*
* swaying earring is a butterfly in flight!*
**[05:50] Nana; internal**
*I have to make sure her earrings don't move.*
**[05:53] Nana; internal**
*Okay.*
**[05:55] Nana**
Hey, Sis, those earrings sure are cute.
**[05:59] Nana**
You think I could borrow them for today?
**[06:00] Runa**
These are for pierced ears,
so you can't wear them.
**[06:05] Nana**
In that case... Just don't move
your head at all, okay?
**[06:09] Runa**
Huh? Why?
**[06:10] Nana**
It's, uh... the proper etiquette
for drinking black tea.
**[06:13] Runa**
I've never heard that one before.
**[06:15] Runa**
I have to go to work after this,
so I don't have time to play games.
**[06:21] Nana**
Wait! If you move your head,
the butterflies...
**[06:24] Nana**
The butterflies will take flight!
**[06:26] Runa**
What?
**[06:27] Nana**
Okay, what about a straw?
**[06:29] Nana**
If you use a straw, you can drink
your tea without moving your head!
**[06:32] Runa**
This is hot tea, though.
**[06:33] Nana**
You can blow bubbles in it to cool it down!
**[06:36] Runa**
What happened to proper etiquette?
**[06:38] Nana**
All right.
**[06:39] Nana**
In that case... will you hear out
my once-in-a-lifetime request?
**[06:43] Runa**
What?
**[06:44] Nana**
Will you play red light,
green light with me?
**[06:47] Runa**
That's really the once-in-a-lifetime
request you want to make?
**[06:50] Nana**
Okay, I'm "it," and I'm never
taking my eyes off of you!
**[06:54] Runa**
That's kinda scary! And when
do I get to move, then?
**[06:56] Runa**
Honestly.
**[06:59] Nana**
Don't look over—
**[07:12] Nana**
* So then Pochi licked my sister's face,*
* and she screamed really loud.*
**[07:19] Mako**
Wow...
**[07:20] Mako; internal**
*I guess Nana-chan's sister doesn't like dogs?*
**[07:24] Mako**
That wouldn't bother me at all.
**[07:28] Nana**
*Right? It's cute, if anything!*
**[07:31] Nana**
* Oh! If you ever come to my house,*
* would you like to pet Pochi?*
**[07:34] Mako**
Huh? I can?
**[07:36] Mako**
Sure, I'd love to!
**[07:48] Nana**
It's so hot.
**[07:50] Mako**
Sure is. I want to hurry up
and cool off in the club room.
**[07:54] Shinon**
Should we set the AC to 19°C?
**[07:59] Shinon**
The air's so hot in here!
**[08:01] Shinon**
Gotta hurry and turn on
the air conditioner!
***SIGN*** Temperature Control
***SIGN*** Start / Stop
**[08:06] Shinon**
Now come, wintry winds!
**[08:13] Shinon**
Huh? It didn't turn on?
**[08:15] Nana**
Maybe give it one more try?
**[08:23] Mako**
It's not turning on.
**[08:32] Mako**
Shinon-chan, calm down.
**[08:36] Nana**
It's not turning on.
**[08:38] Shinon**
Y-You don't think...
**[08:41] Shinon**
The air conditioner is... broken?!
**[08:50] Nana**
It's so hot.
**[08:52] Mako**
Need... fan...
**[08:59] Mako**
Ah, that's nice and cool!
**[09:05] Mako**
It's hot. It's too hot.
**[09:09] Nana**
Do we have anything to drink?
***SIGN*** Worcestershire
Sauce
**[09:14] Nana**
Nope. Of all the times to be out...
**[09:17] Nana**
There aren't even any of
Hitsuji-chan's energy drinks.
**[09:22] Shinon**
It might actually be cooler outside.
**[09:30] Shinon**
This concrete in the shade feels so good!
**[09:34] Mako**
You'll get all dirty lying there.
**[09:39] Tsutsuji**
It's very hot.
**[09:41] Kurea**
Tsutsuji, it looks like you
did a lot of shopping.
**[09:45] Tsutsuji**
I ran out of energy drinks,
so I bought a bunch of them.
**[09:53] Kurea**
Whoa. What's going on here?
**[09:56] Kurea**
What? The air conditioner's broken?
**[09:59] Mako**
Yeah. No matter how many times we
pushed the button, it wouldn't turn on.
**[10:03] Tsutsuji**
Enduring this heat without air
conditioning takes its toll on you.
**[10:07] Tsutsuji**
What should we do about today's activities?
**[10:09] Shinon**
Well, we could try to *feel* cooler by borrowing
yukata from the Japanese Clothing Club!
**[10:15] Kurea**
In this heat, even wearing
yukata won't do much.
**[10:19] Sakura**
Oh, you're here!
**[10:24] Sakura**
Long time no see!
**[10:28] Nana**
Stranger... danger...
**[10:33] Mako**
Um, who is this?
**[10:35] Kurea**
I don't know.
**[10:36] Shinon**
Saku-chan-senpai! How's your day going?
**[10:39] Mako**
Shinon-chan, you know her?
**[10:41] Shinon**
Yeah! She's the president of another
club in the same building as us.
**[10:44] Sakura**
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Sakura Kodama, a third-year here.
**[10:48] Sakura**
I'm the president of the Agriculture Club.
**[10:51] Kurea**
So there are other clubs that
use this building besides us?
**[10:55] Sakura**
We mostly use the room for storage,
so we're hardly ever here.
**[11:00] Shinon**
Did something in particular
bring you here today?
**[11:02] Sakura**
What? Shinon-chan, did you forget?
**[11:05] Sakura**
In exchange for letting you
have our old refrigerator,
**[11:08] Sakura**
you promised to help with
the field work over summer.
**[11:14] Shinon**
I can neither confirm nor deny
whether that happened.
**[11:17] Sakura**
It did happen!
**[11:19] Kura**
So that refrigerator belonged
to the Agriculture Club?
**[11:23] Kurea**
Seems like it.
**[11:25] Kurea**
Um, Senpai?
**[11:27] Kurea**
If that was the agreement, we'll help out.
**[11:30] Kurea**
We've gotten lots of use out
of that refrigerator, after all.
**[11:33] Sakura**
Really? Thank you!
**[11:36] Sakura**
I'll let you borrow clothes to work in,
so will you come with me to the fields?
**[11:41] Kurea**
S-Sure.
**[11:43] Nana**
Huh? I'm going, too?!
**[11:47] Tsutsuji**
Farm work in this heat?
**[12:09] Sakura**
Welcome to the Agriculture Club's farm!
**[12:14] Mako**
You sure have a lot of
different vegetables here.
**[12:17] Kurea**
It's pretty big, isn't it?
**[12:19] Kurea**
Um, where are the other club members?
**[12:21] Sakura**
Everyone else is either
job hunting or visiting home.
**[12:25] Sakura**
We're only harvesting a portion of the crops,
and you can take some home as thanks,
**[12:30] Sakura**
so can you help out today?
**[12:31] Kurea**
Leave it to us!
**[12:33] Mako**
We'll do our very best!
**[12:34] Sakura**
Then let's split into groups.
One for harvesting, one for watering.
**[12:38] girls**
Okay!
**[12:54] Tsutsuji**
It's hot. It's so hot.
**[12:58] Tsutsuji**
I have to hurry and finish up
so I can take a shower.
**[13:11] Shinon**
It's so hot.
**[13:13] Shinon**
Tsutsuji! Where can I connect this hose to?
**[13:19] Shinon**
What're you doing, Tsutsuji?!
**[13:23] Tsutsuji**
The heat momentarily caused me
to take leave of my senses.
**[13:27] Shinon**
Seriously?
**[13:33] Shinon**
Tsutsuji, do me, too.
**[13:39] Sakura**
Once you're done playing with the water,
please get back to work.
**[13:49] Mako**
Kurea-chan, is this a cabbage?
**[13:52] Kurea**
She said it's a radicchio.
**[13:53] Kurea**
It looks like a cabbage, but it's a
completely different vegetable, apparently.
**[13:58] Mako**
Huh...
**[13:59] Kurea**
Nana! Once you harvest them,
just put them in the basket, okay?
**[14:03] Nana**
Huh? Oh... Right.
**[14:06] Kurea**
Oh. Since Senpai's here,
Nana's anxiety has been activated.
**[14:11] Sakura**
Nana-chan, right?
**[14:13] Sakura**
Is the harvesting going well?
**[14:15] Nana**
N-N-N-Not really.
**[14:18] Sakura**
It's okay to just pull them out,
**[14:19] Sakura**
but try holding down the round part of
the radicchio and pulling it to one side.
**[14:24] Nana**
Okay.
**[14:25] Sakura**
Now, cut through the core between
the round part and the open leaves.
**[14:34] Sakura**
That's it! Very nice! You're a natural!
**[14:43] Sakura**
I'm going to go check on Mako-chan and
the others. Keep up the good work!
**[14:47] Nana**
O-Okay!
**[14:54] Sakura**
How's it going, you two?
**[14:56] Kurea**
Good!
**[14:58] Mako**
We've harvested quite a bit.
**[15:00] Sakura**
Oh, you certainly have!
And very nicely done, too.
**[15:05] Kurea**
How was Nana doing?
**[15:07] Sakura**
She's very quiet, so we didn't talk much,
but she's doing a great job harvesting.
**[15:13] Kurea**
So she did seem quiet to you, then.
**[15:44] Shinon**
We're done!
**[15:47] Mako**
It sure was hot, huh?
**[15:49] Sakura**
Good work, everyone!
**[15:51] Sakura**
Help yourselves to some chilled cucumbers!
**[15:54] Sakura**
I brought salt, too!
**[15:58] Kurea**
Thank you so much!
**[16:00] Shinon**
It's ice-cold! Thank you for the treat!
**[16:07] Shinon**
It's so good!
**[16:08] Tsutsuji**
It's more delicious than
the ones I usually eat.
**[16:11] Kurea**
They taste especially good when
you've picked them yourself, huh?
**[16:40] Mako**
That was delicious!
**[16:42] Shinon**
Well, shall we head back to campus?
**[16:44] Sakura**
Oh, Shinon-chan!
**[16:46] Shinon**
Yes?
**[16:47] Sakura**
Take these with you as thanks for today!
**[16:53] Shinon**
We can really have all of these?
**[16:55] Sakura**
Yup!
**[16:56] Sakura**
We couldn't have finished
so quickly without you.
**[16:58] Sakura**
And I'd love for you all to get a taste
of the veggies we grow here!
**[17:02] Sakura**
Let me know what you think of them later!
**[17:06] girls**
Thank you so much!
**[17:14] Shinon**
You know...
**[17:15] Shinon**
Now that I've tried it, farming is way
more fun than I thought it'd be!
**[17:19] Kurea**
At first, I was worried we'd gotten
sentenced to hard labor, but yeah.
**[17:23] Shinon**
And hey, we scored all those veggies!
**[17:26] Nana**
Right? There were so many kinds,
and those cucumbers were delicious!
**[17:31] Nana**
And when I harvested the radicchio,
Sakura-senpai complimented me!
**[17:35] Nana**
Maybe I really do have a talent for it!
**[17:39] Kurea**
You actually talk a lot, don't you?
**[17:40] Mako**
Hey, everyone...
**[17:42] Mako**
Should we use the veggies we got
today for a river breeze party?
**[17:45] Tsutsuji**
Oh, that sounds good.
**[17:47] Nana**
In that case, I want tempura!
**[17:49] Kurea**
Let's use the ice in the
freezer to make shaved ice!
**[17:52] Shinon**
Oh! In that case...
**[17:59] Mako**
There!
**[18:01] Mako**
Fastened and ready.
**[18:03] Kurea**
I never imagined she'd really borrow
these from the Japanese Clothing Club.
**[18:06] Nana**
Oh, you look so pretty!
**[18:09] Tsutsuji**
It really does feel cooler, too.
**[18:12] Shinon**
All according to plan.
**[18:15] Kurea**
She's quite pleased with herself.
**[18:17] Kurea**
Wait! Don't tell me you went and
agreed to something else in return!
**[18:22] Shinon**
Don't worry! It's all good!
**[18:24] Shinon**
I just let them have the
mannequin that was in here.
**[18:26] Kurea**
So you did agree to give them something.
**[18:47] Mako**
All right. Let's start cooking!
**[18:50] girls**
Yeah!
**[18:52] Mako; internal**
*First, cut the vegetables into thick slices.*
**[19:01] Mako; internal**
* Then make soda water*
* batter to coat them with.*
**[19:06] Mako; internal**
*Dip them in the batter,*
**[19:09] Mako; internal**
*and then fry them in a generous amount of oil.*
**[19:14] Mako; internal**
* Once they're done frying,*
* sprinkle them with salt,*
**[19:17] Mako; internal**
*Parmesan cheese, and mixed herbs.*
**[19:21] Mako; internal**
*Boil and then chill the somen.*
**[19:25] Mako; internal**
*Make fruit punch for dessert, and with that...*
**[19:31] Mako; internal**
* The Summer Veggie Cheesy*
* Fritter River Breeze Set...*
**[19:35] Mako; internal**
*is ready to serve!*
**[19:41] Nana**
It turned out so luxurious!
**[19:43] Shinon**
Let's hurry up and eat!
**[19:45] Kurea**
Well, then...
**[19:46] girls**
Time to eat!
**[19:58] Shinon**
It's super crispy, Makocchi!
**[20:00] Mako**
Yep! It turned out great!
**[20:03] Tsutsuji**
The vegetables are so juicy.
This is magnificent!
**[20:08] Nana**
It's delicious!
**[20:11] Mako**
I'm so glad!
**[20:23] Shinon**
Can I have the rest?
**[20:25] Mako**
Go for it.
**[20:29] Tsutsuji**
Where are your manners, Shinon?
**[20:31] Shinon**
What's a few manners between friends?
**[20:34] Kurea**
That would put anyone off!
**[20:40] Shinon**
I'm so full!
**[20:42] Kurea**
This is pure bliss.
**[20:44] Tsutsuji**
I can't move anymore.

It's hard to believe it was

Oh, there you are.

Miss Clerk?
**[21:26] clerk**
Hey, I like the yukata.
**[21:29] Shinon**
Is something wrong?

Here you go.
**[21:33] Shinon**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Notice of Air Conditioning Maintenance
1. Date: 8/20/2025
2. Time: 10 AM to 6 PM
3. Location: Shared areas, individual club rooms
**[21:34] clerk**
The maintenance is complete,
so could you sign here for me?
**[21:38] Shion**
Huh? We didn't tell you that the
air conditioner was broken yet.
**[21:42] Shion**
How did you know?
**[21:44] clerk**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[21:46] clerk**
Today was the scheduled maintenance
for the club room building's AC system.
**[21:50] clerk**
We told the club presidents that we'd
be shutting it off during that time.
**[21:56] Shinon**
Say what?
**[21:59] clerk**
I told you about a week ago.
**[22:02] clerk**
You don't remember?
**[22:06] Shinon**
Oh.
**[22:23] Shinon**
And so... our summer came to an end.

Hurry up and sign it.
