**[00:04] Sumireko**
Oh! Looks like she's here!
**[00:10] Nodoka**
Good day to you!
**[00:12] Sumireko**
Morning.
**[00:15] Nodoka**
Is this really enough to repay you?
**[00:18] Adashino**
Yes. It's just what I need.
**[00:20] Sumireko**
Oto-chan already went on ahead.
**[00:23] Nodoka**
Really? Then I'll go catch up to her!
**[00:29] Sumireko**
Is that burned-out device a cursed object?
**[00:32] Adashino**
It seems that Yorumun's water and
Uname-sensei's fire turned it into one.
**[00:37] Sumireko**
Huh. Will you be able to trade it for the
all-important ticket to your destination?
**[00:42] Adashino**
That's the tricky part.
**[00:44] Sumireko**
Is it? I'd think that a garei
would be pretty rare.
**[00:50] Adashino**
But it might not be.
**[00:52] Adashino**
Manga, anime, games, music, theater,
movies and TV dramas, novels—
**[00:59] Adashino**
works that creators whittle down
their own lives to make...
**[01:02] Adashino**
I think there are more of them
now than there were before.
**[01:05] Adashino**
They might be waiting somewhere, even now,
for the day they are remembered.
**[01:10] Sumireko**
That's true.
**[01:12] Sumireko**
Which means the garei of my work
must be somewhere out there, too!
**[01:16] Adashino**
Write your new novel before thinking
about stuff like that, Eyebrows.
**[01:19] Sumireko**
That's just mean.
**[01:23] Sumireko**
About that...
**[01:24] Sumireko**
Ever since I started getting caught up
in all these incidents with you,
**[01:28] Sumireko**
my pen has been flying!
**[01:30] Adashino**
Has it? This is the first I've heard of that.
**[01:35] Sumireko**
Remember that promise you made to read it?
You might have to make good on that soon.

**[03:17] Sumireko**
Summer's right around the corner.
**[03:24] Sumireko**
Do you like summer?
**[03:27] Sumireko**
I'm quite partial to it.
**[03:29] Sumireko**
There's nothing better than an ice-cold beer
after working up a sweat outdoors!
**[03:41] Sumireko**
Ta-da! I have an announcement!
**[03:44] Sumireko**
I have never once worn a swimsuit!
**[03:48] Adashino**
Huh? Not once? Not even when
you were a kid? For real?
**[03:52] Sumireko**
When we had swim class at school,
I always skipped because I didn't feel well,
**[03:56] Sumireko**
and I've never once been to the
beach or a pool with friends.
**[04:00] Sumireko**
And of course, I can't swim!
**[04:03] Adashino**
You've never been to the beach
or a pool with friends?
**[04:07] Adashino**
That's just so sad.
**[04:09] Sumireko**
Reacting only to that part
is against the rules.
**[04:12] Adashino**
So people with no swimsuit
experience really do exist.
**[04:15] Sumireko**
Of course they do. It's not that big a deal.
**[04:17] Sumireko**
Adashino-kun, why don't we go to
the beach with Oto-chan one day?
**[04:23] Adashino**
Of course! It would be my pleasure!
**[04:26] Adashino**
In that case, I'll pick out
your very first swimsuit.
**[04:31] Sumireko**
No, thank you.
**[04:33] Adashino**
A cow-print or side-tie bikini would be great.
**[04:37] Adashino**
Actually, a sporty one-piece
might look even better.
**[04:41] Adashino**
Now I'm getting excited!
**[04:53] Sumireko**
I won't be wearing any of those. Understand?
**[04:55] Adashino**
No, I'll be sure to choose one that suits you.
**[04:58] Adashino**
I haven't any ulterior motives at all.
**[05:06] Sumireko**
Huh? You're the cat that
paid me a visit, aren't you?
***SIGN*** Number Withheld
**[05:24] Adashino**
Hello? Is that you, old man?
**[05:27] Old Man**
* I'm telling you this just in case.*
* A cat will be coming your way.*
**[05:32] Old Man**
* She may look like a young girl,*
* but don't underestimate her.*
**[05:35] Old Man**
*She means to kill you.*
**[05:38] Adashino**
Huh?
**[05:41] Sumireko**
There's someone on top of the
bridge pylon! It looks like a girl!
**[05:45] Adashino**
A girl?
**[05:49] Sumireko**
My eyes aren't playing tricks on me, right?
**[05:54] Sumireko**
Cat ears?
**[06:01] Cat Sovereign**
Nice to meet you, Disappearances-kun.
**[06:05] Adashino**
Who are you?
**[06:06] Cat Sovereign**
I'm the one who manages
the Curiosities around here.
**[06:11] Cat Sovereign**
You may call me the Cat Sovereign.
**[06:14] Sumireko**
Come on, now...
**[06:25] Sumireko**
Adashino-kun!
**[06:30] Cat Sovereign**
I'll be taking this, meow.
**[06:36] Cat Sovereign**
You always take the Curiosities somewhere
and do away with 'em, right?
**[06:40] Cat Sovereign**
I can't have that. Stop it, okay?
**[06:43] Cat Sovereign**
Or if you prefer... You can die.
**[06:55] Sumireko**
Stop this!
**[06:56] Cat Sovereign**
So you're the Bearer of Youth?
**[06:58] Cat Sovereign**
Don't interfere, meow!
**[07:00] Sumireko**
What about you?
**[07:01] Sumireko**
What do you have against Adashino-kun?
**[07:04] Cat Sovereign**
All he does is get in my way.
**[07:07] Cat Sovereign**
What *don't* I have against him?
**[07:08] Sumireko**
But starting a fight out
of nowhere isn't right!
**[07:14] Cat Sovereign**
Knock that Bearer of Youth down
until she can't get up again!
**[07:17] Cat Sovereign**
Huh? What is it?
**[07:29] Cat Sovereign**
What? You owe the Bearer of Youth a debt
of gratitude for a night's food and rest,
**[07:33] Cat Sovereign**
so you don't want to bully her?
**[07:37] Cat Sovereign**
Tch! I guess we'll leave it at that for today.
**[07:47] Adashino**
Hello?
**[07:48] Old Man**
* It seems she's something like the boss*
* of the Curiosities in that area.*
**[07:52] Old Man**
* She hates you, but you can*
* just leave her alone for now.*
**[07:56] Adashino**
Seriously, where is he watching from?
**[08:01] Sumireko**
Here.
**[08:03] Adashino**
Thank you.
**[08:04] Sumireko**
It's important to you, right?
**[08:07] Adashino**
I'm sorry for being so weak.
**[08:18] Adashino**
Well, here's where we part ways for today.
**[08:20] Sumireko**
Okay. I hope you can get the ticket you need.
**[08:23] Adashino**
Me, too.
**[08:25] Sumireko**
You seem a little down.
**[08:27] Adashino**
Only because you won't let me
pick out a swimsuit for you.
**[08:31] Sumireko**
When you ask the impossible,
don't be disappointed with the answer.
**[08:34] Sumireko**
I'll see you tomorrow at the bookstore.
**[08:36] Adashino**
Right.
**[08:47] Sumireko**
How did Yorumun become self-aware?
And how many meters long was she?
**[09:04] (Flashback) Oto**
Surprise.

**[09:56] Oto**
Ren-nii!
**[10:20] umpire**
Strike!
**[10:32] Shizuku**
Really? You won't be around
during summer vacation?
**[10:36] Oto**
No, so I won't be able to
come here. I'm very sorry.
**[10:39] Shizuku**
You're wearing the clothes I bought you.
**[10:42] Oto**
Yes.
**[10:43] Shizuku**
That's enough to make me happy.
**[10:48] Oto**
Meow!
**[11:12] Sumireko**
Is something wrong?
**[11:13] Oto**
I was wondering if it'd be all right
for me to stay over again.
**[11:16] Sumireko**
I see.
**[11:20] Sumireko**
So, how'd it go? Did everything
with the ticket work out?
**[11:24] Oto**
It seems we'll be able to go home.
**[11:27] Sumireko**
Really? Is that really true?
**[11:29] Oto**
Yes.
**[11:30] Sumireko**
At long last?
**[11:32] Oto**
That's right.
**[11:33] Sumireko**
That's great, Oto-chan!
**[11:35] Sumireko**
So you can go back where you're from, right?
**[11:38] Oto**
Yes.
**[11:40] Oto**
Oh. The black aeonium bloomed.
**[11:44] Oto**
I'm glad.
**[11:46] Sumireko**
Are you hungry?
**[11:48] Sumireko**
Sorry. I don't really eat while I'm writing.
**[11:52] Oto**
I brought food.
**[11:53] Sumireko**
You're a lifesaver!
I'll take a little break, then.
**[12:01] Sumireko**
When will you be leaving?
**[12:03] Oto**
Ren-nii is saying it'll be after
he reads your new novel.
**[12:08] Sumireko**
Really? You might make it
home really soon, then.
**[12:12] Oto**
What?
**[12:14] Sumireko**
I think it's just about finished.
**[12:17] Sumireko**
And if that's the case,
I'll have to work my hardest!
**[12:23] Oto**
I see.
**[12:27] Adashino**
Really? So she'll be finished
writing soon, then.
**[12:31] Oto**
*That's what she said.*
**[12:32] Adashino**
All right. Your summer vacation
starts tomorrow, right?
**[12:35] Oto**
*Yes.*
**[12:36] Adashino**
You should relax and rest at
Sumireko-san's place tonight.
**[12:41] Oto**
*Ren-nii, goodnight.*
**[12:44] Adashino**
Goodnight.
**[12:51] Oto**
What's your new novel about?
**[12:55] Sumireko**
Basically, it's about all the different
Curiosities I've seen since I met you two.
**[13:00] Sumireko**
Of course, since it's a novel,
I've changed people's names and stuff.
**[13:06] Oto**
Is that even interesting?
**[13:08] Sumireko**
Don't be rude.
**[13:10] Sumireko**
This story is about Adashino-kun and you.
**[13:13] Sumireko**
How could it not be interesting?
**[13:17] Oto**
I guess that's all right, then.
**[13:19] Sumireko**
Does your summer vacation start soon?
**[13:21] Oto**
Yep, tomorrow. I'm going
to the pool at Nodoka's place.
**[13:26] Sumireko**
Really? Then your swimsuit
is in that backpack?
**[13:29] Oto**
Yeah...
**[13:31] Sumireko**
What kind of swimsuit? Is it a cute one?
**[13:34] Sumireko**
Will you show me?
**[13:35] Oto**
I don't know...
**[13:37] Oto**
If you want to see it, you should just
come to the pool with us tomorrow.
**[13:42] Sumireko**
Unfortunately, I don't have
a swimsuit of my own.
**[13:46] Oto**
What?
**[13:48] Sumireko**
It's something my grandmother told me.
**[13:50] Sumireko**
She said that if I got close to the ocean
or a pool, a curse awaited me.
**[13:55] Oto**
What? What kind of curse?
**[13:57] Sumireko**
Um, well... A kappa's, of course.
**[14:01] Oto**
A kappa's?
**[14:02] Sumireko**
That's right.
**[14:03] Sumireko**
A long time ago, my grandfather saw
the corpse of a kappa by the Tama River.
**[14:08] Sumireko**
That's what she told me.
**[14:09] Oto**
So basically, you're scared of water, right?
**[14:17] Sumireko**
Oto-chan, what's it like where you're from?
**[14:21] Oto**
It's just normal, I think.
It's where I was born.
**[14:24] Sumireko**
Is it a nice place?
**[14:26] Oto**
It is. Probably.
**[14:28] Sumireko**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[14:30] Oto**
I'm sure everyone's waiting for me.
**[14:34] Sumireko**
And for Adashino-kun, too?
**[14:42] Sumireko**
Oto-chan?
**[14:49] Sumireko**
She fell asleep.
**[15:04] Oto**
I'm going out.
**[15:07] Sumireko**
Okay. Be safe.
**[15:28] Tamao**
It's a private pool!

**[15:51] Nodoka**
Occhan, sorry for making you
worry about me so much.
**[15:55] Nodoka**
Thanks for everything.
**[15:56] Oto**
I'm glad you're feeling better.
**[15:58] Nodoka**
Let's stay friends forever, okay?
**[16:02] Oto**
Yeah.
**[16:03] Mari; internal**
* My! Are those two starting*
* something without us?*
**[16:06] Mari; internal**
*Oh, how scandalous. How scandalous!*
**[16:16] Oto**
Say...
**[16:17] Nodoka**
What is it?
**[16:19] Oto**
Are friends still friends
even if they're apart?
**[16:22] Nodoka**
Of course they are!
**[16:24] Nodoka**
Even if one's on Earth and one's
on Mars, friends are still friends!
**[16:28] Oto**
I thought so. I'm so glad!
**[16:32] Sumireko**
What?
**[16:33] Sumireko**
Adashino-kun is taking today off?
**[16:36] manager**
He called in.
**[16:37] manager**
He said he's so incredibly constipated
that his whole body is stuffed full of poop.
**[16:42] manager**
Apparently, he's holed up
in the bathroom, crying.
**[16:45] Sumireko**
Yeah, no way.
**[16:46] manager**
I never thought Adashino-kun would end up
suffering such horrifying constipation, too.
**[16:51] Sumireko**
"Too"?
**[16:52] manager**
Well, you were the same,
weren't you, Ogawa-san?
**[16:55] manager**
When you took that time off before,
Adashino-kun told me all about it.
**[17:01] Sumireko**
That little...
**[17:09] Oto**
Um, everyone?
**[17:10] Oto**
For summer vacation, Ren-nii and I
are going back to visit our hometown.
**[17:14] Oto**
So I'll be saying goodbye for a little while.
**[17:18] Oto**
Will you accept these?
**[17:20] Oto**
Nodoka, here.
**[17:21] Nodoka**
Thanks!
**[17:22] Oto**
Here, Erika.
**[17:24] Erika**
Thank you.
**[17:25] Oto**
Here, Tama-chan.
**[17:27] Tamao**
Accepted with pleasure!
**[17:28] Oto**
Here, Mari.
**[17:29] Mari**
Occhan...
**[17:30] Nodoka**
And now...
**[17:37] Tamao**
Nodoka is as bold as always.
**[17:39] Erika**
You know, Nodoka, once you become an idol,
**[17:42] Erika**
you'll have to be careful
of sneak photographers.
**[17:44] Nodoka**
I'll be just fine!

Could you tell Adashino-kun for me?

Oh, you aren't with him right now?
Then can you give him a message later?

Tell him he can come and read it anytime.

Yeah. And if you're still out and about,
take care on your way back.
