**[00:03] Shun**
You think these cookies will sell?
**[00:04] Asami**
Souma-kun designed that label.
**[00:07] Asami**
Isn't it cute?
**[00:08] Shun**
Yo, that's Sakura.
**[00:10] Sakura**
Woof!
**[00:11] Souma**
She is a cute dog.
**[00:14] Yamada**
We've got another kind, too.
***SIGN*** Asami's friend
who's helping
out at the cafe
**[00:17] Shun**
That's my drawing!
**[00:18] Souma**
It's cute, huh.
**[00:19] Souma**
When I draw, it comes out too clean.
**[00:21] Souma**
And I thought your dopey
drawing would be cuter.
**[00:25] Shun**
Are you making fun of me?
**[00:26] Souma**
I'm really not!
**[00:28] Souma**
It's nothing groundbreaking,
**[00:30] Souma**
but I thought I'd start by
doing what I can do now.
**[00:34] Shun**
Impressive.
**[00:35] Asami**
When you have a goal, every
day is fulfilling, huh?
**[00:38] Souma**
Yes!
**[00:39] Asami**
Shun, you need to get your
summer homework done.
**[00:42] Shun**
But Hayate-san isn't here yet.
**[00:44] Asami**
Then get started by yourself.
**[00:46] Shun**
I can't.
**[00:47] [Messenger] txt**
Hayate-san
**[00:49] Shun**
Oh, speaking of.
**[00:51] Shun**
Hello.
**[00:52] Shun**
Is everything all right?
**[00:53] Hayate**
*Hi, Shun-kun.*
**[00:54] Hayate**
*I'm sorry I'm late.*
**[00:55] Shun**
It's not a big deal.
**[00:57] Hayate**
* I couldn't find my phone, and*
* looking for it made me late.*
**[01:00] Shun**
Well, I'm glad you found it.
**[01:03] Hayate**
*Actually, I gave up. I'm on my way over now.*
**[01:08] Shun**
*So, how are you calling me now?*
**[01:10] Hayate**
Huh? With my phone.
**[01:11] Shun**
*Huh?*
**[01:15] Hayate**
I'm almost there.
**[01:16] Shun**
Okay.
**[01:17] Souma**
What's going on?
**[01:19] Shun**
Hayate-san was calling me on his
phone while looking for his phone.
***SIGN*** Spit!
**[02:54] Souma**
All right.
***SIGN*** #21
Friends
**[02:55] Souma**
I'm calling it a day.
**[02:57] Asami**
Thank you so much.
**[02:58] Shun**
You're leaving already?
**[02:59] Hayate**
You got something to do?
**[03:00] Souma**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Listening...
**[03:02] Souma**
A friend of mine is making their own CD,
and I'm going to be designing the cover.
**[03:07] Souma**
We're meeting up to discuss it.
**[03:09] Souma**
See you all later.
**[03:11] Shun**
He was so excited.
**[03:14] Hayate**
He seems like he's got so
many things he wants to do.
**[03:17] Hayate**
That's amazing.
**[03:18] Shun**
Hayate-san, do you have
any plans for the future?
**[03:21] Hayate**
Not yet.
**[03:23] Shun**
You could become a teacher or something.
**[03:25] Shun**
You're good at teaching.
**[03:27] Hayate**
I've thought about it,
**[03:29] Hayate**
but I'm not good at dealing
with many people at once.
**[03:31] Shun**
True.
**[03:32] Shun**
They probably wouldn't warm up to you.
***SIGN*** Ugh
***SIGN*** Stab
**[03:36] Shun**
It's my summer break.
**[03:37] Shun**
I want to do something amazing.
**[03:39] Asami**
That's what you said last
month too, on your birthday.
**[03:42] (Flashback) Shun**
I'm 17 now.
**[03:44] (Flashback) Shun**
I want to do something amazing.
**[03:45] Hayate**
* Sounds like he'd say that*
* no matter the occasion.*
**[03:47] Hayate**
That's a surprise.
**[03:49] Hayate**
Shun-kun seems like he'd be embarrassed
by his family celebrating his birthday.
**[03:52] Asami**
Our mother really does love celebrations.
**[03:55] Asami**
Oh, that reminds me of what she told me...
**[03:58] (Flashback) Mom**
Shun?
**[03:59] (Flashback) Mom**
We're bringing out the
cake, so please come down.
**[04:02] (Flashback) Mom**
Happy 17th birthday!
**[04:04] (Flashback) Dad**
So you're already 17.
**[04:06] (Flashback) Dad**
Time does fly.
**[04:07] (Flashback) Shun**
Come on, stop it.
**[04:10] (Flashback) Shun**
Don't treat me like a child.
**[04:11] (Flashback) Mom**
But to your father and me,
***SIGN*** Shun-kun
Happy birthday
**[04:14] (Flashback) Mom**
you and your sister will
always be our children.
**[04:17] (Flashback) Mom**
We've got to do these celebrations
while you're still living here.
***SIGN*** Hiragana,
like for a child...
**[04:21] (Flashback) Mom**
Here you go. Put on the candles.
**[04:22] (Flashback) Shun**
Candles?
**[04:23] (Flashback) Shun**
Come on, we don't have to do that.
**[04:26] Dad**
*...he says, but still takes them.*
**[04:28] (Flashback) Dad**
I'll go get a lighter.
**[04:30] (Flashback) Shun**
This is the last time, okay?
**[04:32] (Flashback) Mom**
But you still want a cake, right?
**[04:34] (Flashback) Shun**
I'll have cake.
**[04:36] (Flashback) Shun**
But no more candles after this year.
**[04:38] (Flashback) Dad**
Don't be like that.
**[04:39] (Flashback) Dad**
The candles on your cake
only get lit once a year...
***SIGN*** Shun-kun
Happy birthday
**[04:44] (Flashback) Dad**
They're all upside down.
**[04:47] (Flashback) Shun**
It's a symbol saying that
I don't need them lit.
**[04:50] (Flashback) Mom**
Oh, you made a little mistake.
**[04:52] (Flashback) Shun**
No, it was on purpose.
**[04:53] (Flashback) Mom**
If you say so.
**[04:54] (Flashback) Mom**
Let's just turn them around.
**[04:55] (Flashback) Shun**
I told you!
**[04:57] Asami**
So that happened.
**[04:59] Shun**
Not that story again.
**[05:01] Hayate**
It sounds like your family is close.
**[05:03] Asami**
Hayate-kun, are you going home for Obon?
**[05:07] Hayate**
I was thinking of waiting a little
later and going home in early September.
**[05:10] Shun**
Where were you from, again?
**[05:12] Hayate**
Mie.
**[05:13] Shun**
Mie?
**[05:14] Shun**
Is that the place where they
have that shrimp-like shrine?
**[05:16] Hayate**
What part of Ise Jingū
reminds you of shrimp?
***SIGN*** Slam
***SIGN*** Slam
**[05:21] Shun**
I'm done!
***SIGN*** Yeahhh
**[05:23] Hayate**
But just with math.
**[05:24] Hayate**
Want to do some reading for the
book review for a change of pace?
**[05:27] Shun**
I want to be done.
***SIGN*** Slump
**[05:29] Shun**
I finished an entire manga series yesterday.
**[05:31] Shun**
Can that count?
***SIGN*** Ignore
**[05:33] Hayate**
Oh, what about Igarashi-sensei's book?
**[05:35] Hayate**
We saw the movie not long ago,
**[05:37] Hayate**
so you could probably
imagine the scenes easily.
***SIGN*** Oh
**[05:39] Shun**
I could just write a review
based on the movie!
**[05:42] Hayate**
But the book and the movie diverged
quite a bit, so you'd get found out.
**[05:45] Shun**
You could just write it for me, Hayate-san.
**[05:49] Hayate**
But it's a good book.
I'd like you to read it.
**[05:51] Shun**
I'm too busy with sports.
**[05:54] Hayate**
If you focused, you could
get it done in half a day.
**[05:56] Shun**
No way it's taking me any less than a year.
**[05:58] Shun**
Hey.
**[05:59] Shun**
Since you won't do it for me,
**[06:01] Shun**
maybe I could learn what
I need from the source.
**[06:04] Hayate**
The source?
**[06:05] Shun**
Motoharu-san.
**[06:07] Hayate**
Y-You can't do that! He's busy!
**[06:11] Shun**
He said he'd come over.
**[06:12] Hayate**
What?
**[06:13] Hayate**
He's so flexible...
**[06:15] Friend**
Thanks for your help today, Shiki-kun.
**[06:17] Friend**
I look forward to it!
**[06:19] Souma**
Cool.
**[06:20] Souma**
That wrapped up quickly, so
maybe I'll go back to the cafe.
**[06:27] Souma**
*So many people are wearing yukatas...*
***SIGN*** That reminds me!
**[06:29] Souma**
*Today and tomorrow is the summer festival!*
**[06:31] Shun**
* I should invite Shun and Hayate-kun to come*
* check out the stands with me this evening.*
**[06:35] Shun**
Oh, Motoharu-kun!
**[06:38] Mot**
Hey, Souma!
**[06:39] Mot**
How's it going?
***SIGN*** Fast friends
**[06:40] Souma**
It's good to see you.
**[06:42] Souma**
What are you doing here?
**[06:43] Souma**
Are you meeting someone?
**[06:44] Motoharu**
Nope.
**[06:45] Motoharu**
I lost my way and didn't
know what to do next.
***SIGN*** Ha Ha
**[06:48] Souma**
Wow.
**[06:49] Souma**
I wouldn't have guessed
you were at a loss.
**[06:51] Souma**
Why not check the map on your phone?
**[06:53] Motoharu**
It's about to die.
**[06:54] Motoharu**
I've got three percent left.
**[06:56] Souma**
*I guess Motoharu-kun might be a dummy, too.*
**[07:00] Souma**
I'm back.
**[07:02] Motoharu**
Thanks for inviting me.
**[07:04] Shun**
You're done with your thing?
**[07:05] Souma**
Yeah.
**[07:07] Motoharu**
I heard the cafe is closed today,
**[07:08] Motoharu**
so I brought some cheesecake.
***SIGN*** Heart Pounding
**[07:10] Motoharu**
Please enjoy it together.
**[07:12] Asami**
Oh, wow, thank you so much.
***SIGN*** Bow
Bow
**[07:15] Hayate**
Igarashi-sensei,
**[07:17] Hayate**
thank you so much for coming here,
despite your busy schedule.
**[07:19] Motoharu**
No problem at all.
**[07:21] Shun**
Are you working?
**[07:22] Motoharu**
I was.
**[07:24] Motoharu**
Shun, you're writing a book
report about my novel?
**[07:27] Shun**
Yeah.
**[07:28] Motoharu**
I'm really happy to hear that.
**[07:30] Shun**
So, can you tell me what it's about, and—
**[07:32] Motoharu**
Here you go.
**[07:33] Shun**
Huh?
**[07:34] Motoharu**
Read it yourself.
**[07:36] Motoharu**
I'm not nice enough to
help with your homework.
**[07:41] Motoharu**
When your review's done, let me read it.
**[07:42] Souma**
Hayate-kun, how long are you
going to bow your head?
**[07:45] Shun**
I told you that I can't read books.
**[07:48] Hayate**
That's rude to say in front of an author.
**[07:50] Motoharu**
If it's not a habit, it's hard, huh?
**[07:52] Motoharu**
Let me see it for a moment.
**[07:53] Shun**
Huh?
**[07:54] Motoharu**
I'll put a charm on it that'll motivate you.
**[07:57] Shun**
Really? Thanks!
**[07:59] Shun**
*He just teased me and is actually—*
***SIGN*** To Shun
***SIGN*** Igarashi
Motoharu
***SIGN*** Good luck!
***SIGN*** The Lost Diary
Igarashi Motoharu
**[08:03] Motoharu**
Here you go.
***SIGN*** The Lost Diary
Igarashi Motoharu
***SIGN*** To Shun
***SIGN*** Igarashi
Motoharu
***SIGN*** Good luck!
**[08:03] Motoharu**
I signed it.
**[08:05] Hayate**
*Oh, wow! I'm so jealous!*
**[08:07] Shun**
I mean, thanks, but...
**[08:10] Shun**
What's so funny?
**[08:11] Souma**
I'm sorry.
**[08:13] Souma**
It's just, they both came
to help you with your homework,
**[08:18] Souma**
like they're your older
brothers or something.
**[08:19] Souma**
That made me think your youngest
brother vibe was cute.
**[08:21] Shun**
It's not cute!
**[08:23] Shun**
Do not call me cute!
**[08:24] Souma**
Oh, sorry.
**[08:26] Shun**
But you're right, I do feel like
I'm very lucky to have you around.
**[08:31] All**
So affectionate!
**[08:32] Shun**
Shut up!
***SIGN*** Snap!
**[08:34] Shun**
I'll read this in one second,
so just leave me alone!
**[08:36] Hayate**
It's upside down.
**[08:38] Shun**
That's on purpose! I can read like this too.
**[08:40] Hayate**
Got it. You can flip it
back when it gets hard.
**[08:44] All**
He flipped it back.
**[08:47] Souma**
Oh, yeah, so there's a
festival going on today.
**[08:49] Souma**
Did you guys know?
**[08:50] All**
We didn't.
**[08:52] Souma**
Why don't we eat dinner at the festival stands?
**[08:53] Motoharu**
That sounds good.
**[08:54] Shun**
I wanna get some omelette soba.
**[08:56] Motoharu**
Why don't we invite Takayuki too?
**[08:58] Shun**
I guess it seems like Motoharu-san isn't
working because Mima-san is working.
**[09:02] Motoharu**
I do work.
**[09:04] Asami**
Looks like they're having fun.
**[09:06] Motoharu**
Will one of you contact Takayuki?
**[09:08] Hayate**
Yes! I'll do it!
**[09:10] Asami**
Well?
**[09:11] Shun**
Huh?
**[09:11] Asami**
Think you'll be able to do something
amazing this summer break?
**[09:14] Shun**
Not at all.
**[09:16] Asami**
Oh?
**[09:17] Shun**
But days like this where nothing
special happens are fun too.
**[09:21] Shun**
That's good enough.
**[09:23] Asami**
You should ask for candles on your
birthday cake next year too.
**[09:26] Shun**
What?
**[09:27] Shun**
Why are we back on this topic?!
***SIGN*** Coming up next
***SIGN*** Summer Festival
***SIGN*** We hope you'll tune in again!
***SIGN*** We hope you'll tune in again!
