[00:33] Komari
Wh-What are you doing here?
[00:35] Nukumizu
I was thirsty and wanted a drink of water.
[00:38] Komari
So you c-came all the way out here?
[00:41] Nukumizu
Look who's talking.
[00:43] Nukumizu
You're out fountain-hopping
to avoid class, right?
[00:46] Komari
Sh-Shut up. I-I came here 'cause I'm
kind of d-doing research on school water.
[00:53] Nukumizu
Research? Oh?
[00:57] Nukumizu
I'm actually quite particular
about the water here at school.
[01:01] Komari
Th-Then where did you go to
drink water th-this morning?
[01:06] Nukumizu
Heh. If it's early in the day,
like first or second period,
[01:09] Nukumizu
it's gotta be west building, second floor,
next to the classroom.
[01:12] Nukumizu
At that time of day, the water in
the pipes is still from the day before.
[01:16] Nukumizu
Not only does it have less of a chlorine taste,
but it's cool in the morning, even in summer.
[01:21] Nukumizu
It's the finest drinking water.
[01:28] Komari
That's...
[01:29] Komari
That's weak.
[01:30] Nukumizu
What? How can you say that?
[01:33] Komari
W-West building, second floor is b-best
during lunch break, just before lunch.
[01:39] Nukumizu
Lunch break, you say?
[01:41] Nukumizu
But there's no way the upper floors
are fit for use after noon.
[01:44] Nukumizu
The chlorine smell gets stronger
and the water becomes lukewarm.
[01:48] Komari
A-Amateur.
[01:50] Komari
W-Warm water is much gentler
on the s-stomach.
[01:55] Nukumizu
Wha... B-But the chlorine...
[01:57] Komari
O-Once your nose adjusts
to the ch-chlorine smell...
[02:01] Nukumizu
"Adjusts"? Wait! You can't mean...
[02:06] Komari
...i-it covers up the smell of the bathroom.
[02:12] Nukumizu
Y-You eat lunch in the bathroom?!
[02:14] Nukumizu
I wish I'd never asked.
Just eat in the club room!
[02:20] Tamaki
Komari-chan. Nukumizu.
[02:23] Tamaki
What are you guys doing way out here?
[02:27] Tamaki
Oh, right. After school, I want you
both to come to the classroom.
[02:31] Tamaki
Koto has an important announcement.
[02:34] Nukumizu
Sure.
[02:35] Tamaki
Okay, see you later.
SIGN Literature Club
[04:21] Koto
Ahem. I gathered you all
here today for one reason.
[04:25] Koto
I have decided that we shall
set sail on the open net.
SIGN Absent Today
[04:29] Koto
We will submit our works to the
"Become a Literary Icon" site.
[04:34] Nukumizu
Why are we suddenly doing that?
[04:36] Koto
The student council got on my case
at the last club presidents' meeting.
[04:40] Koto
They asked why we list composition as an
activity when we haven't written anything.
[04:44] Nukumizu
Huh? This is the literature club,
but you haven't written anything?
[04:48] Koto
We say, "Write, write!"
and then don't write. That is our way.
SIGN Literature Club
[04:51] Koto
If we published a zine, we'd have
to pay for paper and printing costs,
[04:55] Koto
and we have no distribution channels.
[04:56] Nukumizu
That makes sense. Publishing online
is much more practical for a club.
[05:01] Koto
So to that end...
[05:03] Koto
This weekend, the literature club
is holding a training camp!
[05:07] Nukumizu
What?
[05:07] Koto
There was an opening at the youth house
this weekend. I was able to get two rooms—
[05:11] Nukumizu
Hang on a minute!
The weekend's only two days away!
[05:15] Koto
Speed equals survival in
today's publishing business.
SIGN Honestly, I want to hide in my room this weekend
[05:21] Koto
You don't get it, do you?
[05:22] Koto
Will you still say that
after hearing this one word?
[05:28] Koto
Canned.
[05:30] Nukumizu
"Canned"? As in when an author is
confined to a hotel room to write?
[05:34] Komari
Whoa!
[05:35] Nukumizu
Huh? What's with that reaction?
[05:37] Koto
Haven't you always wanted to?
Doesn't it get you pumped?
[05:41] Komari
Canned is cool!
SIGN All Deadlines
Are Bad
[05:43] Koto
So I'd like each of you to come up
with a plot by this weekend.
[05:47] Nukumizu
Have you decided what
you're going to write, Senpai?
[05:51] Koto
I'm thinking of writing an
isekai reincarnation story.
[05:54] Koto
First, Mishima commits seppuku.
Then he gets reincarnated.
[05:57] Koto
Dazai tries to follow by drowning himself in
the Tamagawa Aqueduct. And that's the intro.
[06:01] Koto
But it's rated X, so I wouldn't be
able to show it to you... kids...
[06:10] Shikiya
Rated X?
[06:14] Shikiya
Ungood.
[06:15] Koto
Shikiya? How long have you been there?
[06:18] Shikiya
Tsukinoki-senpai,
a training camp requires...
[06:23] Shikiya
a proposal... submission.
[06:27] Koto
All right. I'll have the
president bring one tomorrow.
[06:31] Nukumizu
Who's that?
[06:32] Komari
Sh-Shikiya from the student council.
[06:36] Shikiya
The student council is...
always... watching you.
[06:43] Koto
Shikiya, isn't the council
going a little hard on us?
[06:47] Shikiya
No, we go after all the clubs.
[06:52] Shikiya
Costs. Cuts. Dissolution. Annihilation.
[06:57] Nukumizu
What's wrong with this girl? At least blink!
[06:57] Shikiya
Costs. Cuts. Dissolution. Annihilation.

[07:06] Nukumizu
I don't know about that. They said we'd

[07:11] Anna
There's even a beach nearby.
[07:13] Anna
I still have my swimsuit from
last year. I hope it's okay.
[07:16] Nukumizu
Huh? Wait a minute.
Are you planning to come, too?
[07:20] Anna
Yesterday, on the way home,
I ran into Sosuke's mom.
[07:25] Anna
We're childhood friends,
so our families are friendly, too.
[07:29] Nukumizu
Another heavy story begins.
[07:31] Anna
Sosuke's mom said, "I haven't seen you in
the mornings recently. Is everything okay?"
[07:38] Anna
And then, both families got the wrong idea
and thought Sosuke and I were fighting,
[07:42] Anna
so they're planning to throw a "make-up"
barbecue this weekend. As a surprise.
[07:48] Anna
So please, I'm begging you!
Take me to the ocean with you!
[07:51] Nukumizu
You don't need to go that far.
You could just go out for a bit instead.
[07:55] Anna
Are you mocking my father's
passion for barbecuing?
[07:58] Anna
He'll keep grilling for hours
and hours until I get home!

this weekend. Is that all right?

[10:56] Nukumizu
Um, what do you mean?
[10:58] Tamaki
What else? Yanami and Yakishio. I didn't
expect you to bring cute girls like them.
[11:03] Tamaki
It's super rare to see our
female members in swimsuits.
[11:07] Nukumizu
What about during swim lessons?
[11:10] Tamaki
What are you saying? School swimsuits and
personal swimsuits are two different things!
[11:15] Tamaki
Listen. They're bound by the rules to
wear official school swimsuits in class.
[11:19] Tamaki
But when they wear personal swimsuits,
it's because they want to.
[11:23] Tamaki
Do you see the difference?
[11:25] Nukumizu
Please explain in more detail.
[11:27] Tamaki
Okay, okay.
[11:29] Tamaki
Normally, girls are too ashamed to
expose their shoulders and thighs.
[11:34] Tamaki
But with the beach as an excuse, they willingly
walk around in what is essentially underwear.
[11:40] Tamaki
Basically, you're allowed to stare.
[11:43] Tamaki
No, if you don't stare,
it could be considered rude!
[11:46] Tamaki
Do you see what I mean?
[11:50] Nukumizu
I see.
[11:51] Nukumizu
It's the magic of summer,
in a manner of speaking.
[11:56] Koto
What the heck are you guys talking about?
[11:58] Anna
Oh, a parasol!
And they even have beach chairs.
[12:02] Anna
Thanks, Nukumizu-kun.
[12:05] Nukumizu
S-Sure.
[12:06] Lemon
Yana-chan, do you have sunscreen?
[12:08] Anna
Yeah, I do. Hold on a sec.
[12:11] Lemon
I forgot it last time, and it was terrible.
[12:14] Komari
Nukumizu, y-you're looking super pervy.
[12:17] Tamaki
So, Koto, no bikini?
[12:19] Koto
Okay, stop talking and let's hit the water.
[12:23] Anna
Oh, I'm coming, too!
[12:24] Lemon
Wait up! I'll come with you!
[12:31] Nukumizu
Aren't you going in?
[12:32] Komari
I-I'm good right here.
[12:35] Tamaki
Here I come!
[12:37] Nukumizu
This is your big chance.
Why not spend time with the president?
[12:40] Komari
Th-That's none of your business.
H-Hurry up and go in yourself, N-Nukumizu.
[13:03] Anna
Hey, welcome back!
[13:05] Lemon
I have returned! It felt so good!
The ocean sure is nice.
[13:07] Koto
Man, did I let loose!
[13:09] Tamaki
You guys thirsty at all?
[13:11] Koto
Oh, grab me a cola.
[13:12] Lemon
Were you reading this whole time?
[13:13] Anna
I'd like some water.
[13:15] Koto
Whoa. Yakishio-san, do you have a six-pack?
[13:16] Nukumizu
I will never forget this day
for the rest of my life.
[13:20] Nukumizu
The fact that in my youth, I've enjoyed
one day at the beach with girls in swimsuits
[13:25] Nukumizu
should sustain me for
the rest of my lonely life.
[13:28] Anna
Hey, guys. What should we have for lunch?
[13:30] Koto
Wanna buy something and eat it here?
[13:33] Anna
How about yakisoba?
[13:35] Nukumizu
Yanami-san, aren't you
eating yakisoba right now?
[13:38] Anna
I took a chance on a place that
wasn't busy, and it was a mistake.
[13:42] Anna
My intuition's telling me that the shop
way down at the end is the one!
[13:46] Nukumizu
You're gonna eat another serving?
[13:48] Lemon
I'll go buy some, then.
[13:49] Tamaki
Okay, thanks. Nukumizu, go with her.
[13:53] Nukumizu
Oh, uh, sure.
[14:05] Nukumizu
Hey, Yakishio-san.
[14:07] Lemon
Hmm?
[14:07] Nukumizu
Did you get home okay from
the restaurant the other day?
[14:11] Lemon
Wait, are you worried about me?
[14:14] Nukumizu
Well, I was just wondering if what I did
made you even more depressed.
[14:21] Lemon
You know, he can be really dense,
except when it comes to his girlfriend.
[14:27] Lemon
I've been hanging with him for years,
but he never saw me as a girl like that.
[14:40] Nukumizu
Yakishio-san, I, well...
[14:46] Nukumizu
Let's just have fun today.
[14:52] Lemon
You're right. Thanks.
[15:01] Nukumizu
What?
[15:01] Lemon
Okay, we're gonna run!
[15:03] Nukumizu
Hey! Wait! Hold—
[15:07] Lemon
Ow, ow, ow.
[15:11] Lemon
Nuk-kun, are you okay?
[15:18] Lemon
Nuk-kun, what are you doing?
[15:20] Nukumizu
Yeah, yeah. It's 'cause you
took off running, Yakishio-san.
[15:24] Lemon
Sorry about that. But hey, don't
be so formal. Just use my name.
[15:29] Lemon
Here.
[15:36] Nukumizu
What's the matter?
[15:40] Lemon
You know, sometimes,
girls just want to be spoiled a little.
[15:43] Nukumizu
Is that how it is?
[15:47] Lemon
Yana-chan was right.
[15:49] Lemon
You really are like that.
[15:56] Nukumizu
This is great!
[16:02] Nukumizu
Komari, don't you want any?
[16:04] Komari
The p-president is reading my novel.
[16:09] Tamaki
It's interesting. I think you write
really well. And it's a great title.
[16:13] Komari
D-Do you mean it?
[16:15] Tamaki
But you could add a subtitle to
introduce the story a little better.
[16:19] Komari
H-How would I add a subtitle?
[16:22] Tamaki
Well, let's see. If the title was
"The Literature Club Goes to the Beach,"
[16:27] Tamaki
then maybe, "But We Didn't Realize It Was
an Enforced Nudist Beach," for example!
[16:32] Tamaki
Or "Is it True You Get More Points
the More You Strip?" for example!
[16:36] Tamaki
And then your view count
will go through the roof—
[16:37] Koto
That's enough out of you, Shintaro!
[16:40] Tamaki
You, too, Koto? It's not like
I was telling you to strip or any—
[16:43] Koto
I said that's enough.
[16:46] Tamaki
Hey! Please stop!
[16:48] Lemon
Hey, are they holding some
kind of event over there?
[16:51] Lemon
Let's check it out! C'mon, Komari-chan,
let's go. You've been sitting all day.

Oh, come on. I can handle this much myself.
[19:53] Nukumizu
Look at those two.
I wish they'd hurry up and get married.
[19:58] Tamaki
Oh, that's pretty.
[20:00] Koto
Watch out, watch out!
[20:01] Tamaki
Hey, be careful!
[20:01] Anna
Oh, there's one left. I'll have that.
[20:04] Nukumizu
Ah! Setsuko!
[20:06] Anna
Huh? "Setsuko"?
[20:08] Nukumizu
No, uh, I mean...
[20:09] Anna
Hey, if you want it, just say so.
[20:14] Anna
Here. Aah.
[20:24] Anna
It's good, right?
[20:26] Nukumizu
Mm-hmm.
[20:29] Anna
So how much is that worth?
[20:31] Nukumizu
Huh? Uh, um... 700?
[20:37] Nukumizu
Huh?
[20:37] Anna
I'm just teasing.
[20:48] Nukumizu
Idiot! Watch out!
[20:55] Tamaki
Komari-chan, are you hurt at all?
[20:58] Komari
I-I'm okay.
[21:06] Komari
President, your hand...
[21:07] Tamaki
Don't worry about me. What would've
happened if you'd injured your face?
[21:11] Komari
I-It doesn't really matter
if my face gets hurt.
[21:14] Tamaki
Don't be stupid. Of course it matters.
[21:16] Komari
Nobody looks at my face or anything, anyway.
[21:20] Tamaki
Well, you do, right?
[21:23] Tamaki
Do you really want to relive a bad memory
every day when you look in the mirror?
[21:29] Tamaki
I wouldn't want that to happen.
[21:31] Komari
P-President...
[21:35] Tamaki
So don't say stuff like that.
You gotta take care of yourself. Okay?
[21:57] Komari
President Tamaki...
[22:01] Komari
I like you!
[22:03] Anna
Here.
[22:09] Tamaki
Komari-chan?
[22:10] Komari
P-President...
[22:13] Komari
I-I've always liked you.
[22:17] Komari
You actually pay attention to me.
[22:21] Komari
It makes me so happy.
[22:22] Komari
I like you. So please...
[22:30] Komari
Please go out with me!
