**[00:29] ---**
Are you all right?
Should I take you to the nurse's office?
**[00:37] ---**
Good morning. It looks like
she's not feeling so well...
**[00:41] ---**
Please.
**[00:47] ---**
Why didn't you come yesterday?
**[00:49] ---**
Weren't we going to review?
**[00:52] ---**
Shut up. I held a review session by myself.
**[00:56] ---**
Upon asking, she said
she walked the entire course...
**[01:00] ---**
...that her trio did Saturday
alone after school yesterday.
**[01:03] ---**
It's hot, and I'm tired.
When do we switch uniforms?
**[01:07] ---**
I want the summer one now.
**[01:09] ---**
Suzumiya, I may have said this before...
**[01:12] ---**
...but why not quit looking for
unfindable mysteries...
**[01:15] ---**
...and try recreation
fit for a normal high schooler?
**[01:19] ---**
What's fit for a high schooler?
**[01:21] ---**
How about you find a good guy
and tour the city with him?
**[01:25] ---**
A date kills two birds with one stone.
**[01:28] ---**
Hmph, I don't care for men at all.
**[01:31] ---**
Romantic feelings are just a passing phase.
**[01:34] ---**
Just a type of mental illness.
**[01:36] ---**
Even I get into those
sorts of moods every so often.
**[01:41] ---**
I'm a healthy girl, so sometimes
I'm at a loss with my body.
**[01:46] ---**
But I'm not an idiot with troubles
with momentary delusions.
**[01:52] ---**
Besides, if I got crazy over boys,
what about the SOS Brigade?
**[01:57] ---**
I just created it.
**[01:59] ---**
Just turn it into a random recreational club.
**[02:02] ---**
You'd get more people.
**[02:04] ---**
No way! I created it
because those things were boring.
**[02:08] ---**
A moe character and
mysterious transfer student joined...
**[02:12] ---**
Why is it nothing is happening?
**[02:15] ---**
Why can't some flashy incident or two happen?
**[02:19] ---**
Don't make such troubling statements.
**[02:22] ---**
But you're right...
**[02:24] ---**
An incident that makes everyday life
more fun might be a bit nice.
**[02:33] ---**
Seeing her this beat was a first,
but her sullen face was rather cute.
**[02:38] ---**
I wonder if she's lovesick or something?
**[02:41] ---**
There's no way.
**[02:43] ---**
Getting her mind up for love and
the flashy incidents she hopes for...
**[02:48] ---**
...shouldn't occur so easily in this world.
**[02:51] ---**
But the flashy incident had already
quietly started at this time...
**[02:58] ---**
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
**[03:07] ---**
During the morning, as I talked to Haruhi...
**[03:08] ---**
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya IV
**[03:10] ---**
...I was toying around
with an item of pending inquiry.
**[03:16] ---**
After school, come by class 5
after all students leave.
**[03:19] ---**
Without an enemy,
Soga Mako became immensely arrogant.
**[03:23] ---**
Something like this happened before.
**[03:30] ---**
Yo.
**[03:36] ---**
I'll wait at the park across
Kouyouen Station at 7.
**[03:38] ---**
But this was clearly not Nagato's handwriting.
**[03:42] ---**
Besides, she's not so meek
as to put a message in a shoebox.
**[03:46] ---**
Could it be Miss Asahina?
**[03:49] ---**
I don't think so. I can't believe
she'd give a message...
**[03:52] ---**
...with no specific time,
written on a torn memo page.
**[03:57] ---**
It's hot!
**[03:57] ---**
Haruhi? Even more out there.
**[04:00] ---**
If it were, she'd drag me to
the staircase and talk like before.
**[04:04] ---**
I rule out Koizumi for similar reasons.
**[04:07] ---**
I'd like AC in this room.
**[04:09] ---**
I doubt it's a love letter, but it's
clearly a note calling me somewhere.
**[04:15] ---**
No, it might be a giant joke
by Taniguchi and Kunikida.
**[04:19] ---**
Mikuru Asahina's Charming Photo Gallery
**[04:19] ---**
Right, that's likeliest, but if so...
**[04:23] ---**
...I think they'd be more detail-oriented...
**[04:26] ---**
Wait, what's that?!
**[04:28] ---**
What? It's a photo. Charming photos of Mikuru.
**[04:31] ---**
I see that. What's it for?
**[04:34] ---**
I'll put it on the top page of our website.
**[04:37] ---**
Floods of "Wonders of
the World" e-mails will come.
**[04:40] ---**
We'll get tens of thousands of hits,
and the counter will roll high!
**[04:45] ---**
Are there enough digits?
**[04:47] ---**
Wait... Hey!
What are you doing, stupid Kyon?!
**[04:51] ---**
Enough nonsense.
**[04:53] ---**
If such a lewd photo of her in
a maid outfit and "charming" pose...
**[04:57] ---**
...were sent out to the whole world,
I'm sure she'd faint on the spot.
**[05:02] ---**
Haruhi glared coldly as I feverishly
convinced her (for once)...
**[05:07] ---**
...but I don't know if she
got the danger of info on the Net...
**[05:11] ---**
...that points out a person in real life.
**[05:14] ---**
I get it.
**[05:15] ---**
Empty Recycle Bin
**[05:15] ---**
She reluctantly agreed to delete it.
**[05:18] ---**
This may have been the chance
to delete all the images...
**[05:22] ---**
...but that's a bit of a shame.
**[05:27] ---**
Now.
**[05:30] ---**
I'm going home for today.
**[05:38] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[05:44] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[05:45] ---**
It's nothing. The evil conspiracy
has been removed.
**[05:51] ---**
Doing nothing but
playing Othello with Miss Asahina...
**[05:54] ---**
...Koizumi came in with the usual smile.
**[05:57] ---**
I've got work, so I have to leave early.
**[06:01] ---**
I wonder what kind of job he's got.
**[06:07] ---**
I'm going to change, so go on ahead.
**[06:09] ---**
I took that chance
and bolted out of the clubroom.
**[06:19] ---**
Seeing the person standing there,
I was caught quite off guard.
**[06:27] ---**
Why don't you come in?
**[06:29] ---**
It was you?
**[06:32] ---**
Yes. Unexpected, right?
**[06:35] ---**
What do you want?
**[06:36] ---**
It's true I have something on my mind.
**[06:39] ---**
There's something that I want to ask.
**[06:42] ---**
About Miss Suzumiya...
What do you think of her?
**[06:46] ---**
Sheesh, she's into Suzumiya too...
**[06:49] ---**
People say it's better to try
and regret than to regret not trying.
**[06:55] ---**
What do you think of that?
**[06:58] ---**
I'm not sure it's said often,
but it's straightforward.
**[07:01] ---**
Then let's say you know you'll be
dirt poor with the status quo...
**[07:08] ---**
...but you don't know
how you can make things better.
**[07:12] ---**
What would you do?
**[07:14] ---**
What's that? Are you talking
about Japan's economy?
**[07:18] ---**
Wouldn't you think about
changing something, anything?
**[07:21] ---**
Nothing will change staying as is.
**[07:24] ---**
Well, maybe there is something.
**[07:26] ---**
You think so, right?
**[07:29] ---**
But people above you
have stubborn minds and can't agree.
**[07:33] ---**
But the site can't let it.
**[07:35] ---**
If you twiddle your thumbs,
things look like they'll get worse.
**[07:39] ---**
If so, the people on-site have
the right to force a change, right?
**[07:44] ---**
What's she saying? Is this *Candid Camera*?
**[07:47] ---**
Is Taniguchi hiding in the supply cabinet?
**[07:50] ---**
I'm fed up with observing
something that's unchanging.
**[07:54] ---**
So I'll kill you and
see Haruhi Suzumiya's reaction.
**[08:04] ---**
What? What?
**[08:05] ---**
What is this? No, wait, what's this situation?
**[08:08] ---**
Why does she have to point a knife at me?
**[08:11] ---**
Wait, what did she say?
**[08:13] ---**
Kill me? W-h-y? Why?
**[08:15] ---**
Stop joking! This is really dangerous!
**[08:18] ---**
Even if that wasn't real, I'd be scared!
**[08:20] ---**
You think it's a joke?
**[08:24] ---**
You don't want to die? To be killed?
**[08:27] ---**
I really don't understand
the concept of an organic's death.
**[08:31] ---**
I don't get this and can't laugh.
**[08:34] ---**
That doesn't matter.
Put that dangerous thing somewhere else!
**[08:37] ---**
That's impossible.
Because I really want you to die.
**[08:47] ---**
It's useless.
**[08:49] ---**
This area is now under my information control.
**[08:52] ---**
Nothing can enter or leave.
**[08:55] ---**
I don't get this at all.
**[08:57] ---**
If someone does,
get here and explain it to me!
**[09:00] ---**
Please give up.
The result will be the same in the end.
**[09:05] ---**
What are you?
**[09:16] ---**
Useless... I told you.
**[09:18] ---**
Everything in this classroom
moves according to my will now.
**[09:22] ---**
Wait, wait, wait... What is this?
**[09:24] ---**
Kill me and see Haruhi's reaction?
**[09:27] ---**
Haruhi again? She sure is popular.
**[09:29] ---**
If so, why do I have to die?
**[09:32] ---**
I should have done this from the beginning.
**[09:37] ---**
I can't move. Does this count? It's unfair!
**[09:39] ---**
If you die, Haruhi Suzumiya
is sure to cause some action.
**[09:44] ---**
A giant information explosion
will likely be observed.
**[09:47] ---**
A once-in-a-lifetime chance.
**[09:49] ---**
Like I know!
**[09:52] ---**
Now, die.
**[09:58] ---**
That hurts, damn it!
**[10:00] ---**
Wait... huh?
**[10:01] ---**
My body moves...
**[10:05] ---**
Nagato?
**[10:11] ---**
Each and every program has a fault.
**[10:14] ---**
The space closure's sides
and information shutdown are faulty.
**[10:17] ---**
That is why I noticed and am allowed inside.
**[10:20] ---**
You're interfering?
**[10:22] ---**
If this human is murdered,
Haruhi Suzumiya is sure to move.
**[10:26] ---**
That's the only way to gain any more data.
**[10:29] ---**
You are my backup unit.
You are not permitted to act alone.
**[10:34] ---**
You must obey me.
**[10:36] ---**
If I refuse?
**[10:37] ---**
I will release the binding.
**[10:39] ---**
Would you like to try?
In here, I have the upper hand.
**[10:43] ---**
I control the information in this space.
**[10:46] ---**
I will file for the release
of the information binding.
**[10:55] ---**
At this point, I thought,
"Man, these two really aren't human."
**[11:07] ---**
Don't leave my side.
**[11:10] ---**
Nagato
**[11:13] ---**
You can't defeat me here.
**[11:17] ---**
Personal name Ryoko Asakura is an enemy.
**[11:20] ---**
I release any bindings held on organics.
**[11:24] ---**
Stopping your functions will come first.
**[11:27] ---**
What are you...
**[11:30] ---**
How long will you last, protecting him?
**[11:49] ---**
Nagato!
**[11:51] ---**
You don't have to move.
**[11:53] ---**
I'm fine.
**[11:55] ---**
No, you don't look fine at all...
**[12:03] ---**
With that damage, you've no luxury
to meddle with other data.
**[12:08] ---**
Then, here's your final blow.
**[12:10] ---**
Die.
**[12:19] ---**
It's over.
**[12:20] ---**
What's that? Your "life" of some three years?
**[12:24] ---**
No.
**[12:25] ---**
Commence release of information binding.
**[12:34] ---**
Impossible...
**[12:35] ---**
You are a superior one.
**[12:37] ---**
That was why it took this long
to crack this time-space program.
**[12:42] ---**
But it's over now.
**[12:44] ---**
You programmed a detonation
element in your cracking.
**[12:48] ---**
I did feel that you were too weak.
**[12:51] ---**
You had already spent all your
attack information beforehand.
**[12:54] ---**
Oh, what a shame.
**[12:56] ---**
In the end, I was nothing more
than a backup unit.
**[12:59] ---**
I thought this would be
a good chance to affect our stalemate.
**[13:05] ---**
I lose. Aren't you happy you get to live on?
**[13:08] ---**
But be careful.
**[13:10] ---**
The Information Integration Thought Entity...
**[13:12] ---**
...has many contradictory consciences.
**[13:15] ---**
Another radical like me might arrive someday.
**[13:19] ---**
Or Miss Nagato's puppet master
may have a change of heart.
**[13:23] ---**
Until then, be happy with Miss Suzumiya.
**[13:26] ---**
See you!
**[13:30] ---**
Hey, Nagato!
**[13:32] ---**
Hang on! I'll get an ambulance!
**[13:34] ---**
It's all right.
The physical injuries are not much.
**[13:37] ---**
I need to correct
this space first and foremost...
**[13:41] ---**
That is, remove the impurities
and recreate the classroom.
**[13:53] ---**
You're really all right?
**[13:55] ---**
The processing power
is handling and overwriting data...
**[13:59] ---**
...so this interface's re-creation will come later.
**[14:03] ---**
It's going now.
**[14:05] ---**
What's wrong?
**[14:09] ---**
I forgot to re-create the glasses.
**[14:11] ---**
I think you're cuter without them.
**[14:14] ---**
I don't have a "glasses fixation."
**[14:16] ---**
What's a "glasses fixation"?
**[14:18] ---**
Nothing. Just a figment of your imagination.
**[14:22] ---**
I see.
**[14:23] ---**
Hey...
**[14:25] ---**
I forgot... I forgot...
**[14:29] ---**
Father, if you saw this still frame...
**[14:31] ---**
...our position isn't too far
from going down for some "activity."
**[14:35] ---**
Sorry.
**[14:36] ---**
Take your time!
**[14:38] ---**
An interesting person.
**[14:41] ---**
What'll I do?
**[14:43] ---**
Leave it to me.
I'm adept at controlling information.
**[14:47] ---**
I'll have Ryoko Asakura transfer out.
**[14:49] ---**
That?
**[14:50] ---**
No time for snide remarks.
**[14:52] ---**
Thinking about it, didn't I have
an extraordinary experience?
**[14:56] ---**
Whether I believe Nagato's loony story...
**[14:59] ---**
...those incomprehensible delusions,
isn't the problem.
**[15:03] ---**
What just happened showed me
how serious danger really felt.
**[15:07] ---**
Five seconds from death.
**[15:09] ---**
At this rate, I'll be convinced
that Nagato is an alien...
**[15:12] ---**
...or involved in some way with them.
**[15:17] ---**
Well, about Miss Asakura...
**[15:17] ---**
The next day, Ryoko Asakura
**[15:19] ---**
Her father's job obligations came up...
**[15:19] ---**
was nowhere to be found in class.
**[15:22] ---**
I think it was sudden too.
She ended up transferring out.
**[15:29] ---**
Kyon, this is an incident.
**[15:31] ---**
Haruhi, all full of energy again,
had a glimmer in her eye.
**[15:35] ---**
What now? Tell the truth?
**[15:39] ---**
I can't. Or rather, I don't want to.
**[15:42] ---**
I'd like to think everything
was just a hallucination.
**[15:46] ---**
I thought a mysterious transfer came...
**[15:48] ---**
...and now a girl transferred for no reason.
**[15:51] ---**
We need to investigate.
**[15:54] ---**
I don't want any more extra work.
**[15:56] ---**
Even without this, I'm cradling
another item of pending inquiry.
**[16:00] ---**
What's that?
**[16:02] ---**
Nothing.
**[16:03] ---**
The inquiry was in the shape of an envelope...
**[16:06] ---**
...inside my shoebox,
just like yesterday's note.
**[16:09] ---**
What's up? Is putting letters
into people's shoeboxes a fad now?
**[16:13] ---**
But it's different this time around.
**[16:16] ---**
Mikuru Asahina
**[16:18] ---**
During lunch, I'll be waiting in the clubroom.
- Mikuru
**[16:19] ---**
I don't want to saunter there
**[16:21] ---**
and face another life-or-death situation.
**[16:24] ---**
But there's no way I wouldn't go.
**[16:27] ---**
Because it was Miss Asahina calling.
**[16:30] ---**
There's no proof she was the letter's sender...
**[16:34] ---**
...but I had no doubt.
**[16:36] ---**
She's the type that'd be so roundabout...
**[16:39] ---**
...and the sight of rushing a pen
over this cute letter set fits her.
**[16:45] ---**
Besides, Nagato will be there now too.
**[16:48] ---**
Well, I'm sure it'll work out.
**[16:51] ---**
Oh, come in!
**[16:54] ---**
Kyon...
**[16:57] ---**
It's been a while.
**[16:59] ---**
She looks a lot like Miss Asahina.
**[17:02] ---**
But it wasn't Miss Asahina.
**[17:05] ---**
Um, are you Miss Asahina's older sister?
**[17:10] ---**
I am me.
**[17:11] ---**
The real Mikuru Asahina.
**[17:13] ---**
But I come from a future
further down than the me you know.
**[17:18] ---**
I wanted to see you.
**[17:20] ---**
Oh, you don't trust me, do you?
**[17:23] ---**
I'll prove it.
**[17:24] ---**
See? I have a star-shaped mole here.
**[17:28] ---**
It's not fake. Want to touch it?
**[17:31] ---**
Huge!
**[17:31] ---**
Believe me now?
**[17:33] ---**
Believe it or not, I don't remember
where Miss Asahina's moles are.
**[17:37] ---**
I only saw such iffy parts
when she cosplayed as a bunny girl...
**[17:42] ---**
...and when I peeked in on her changing.
**[17:45] ---**
In any case, I hadn't observed any such details.
**[17:49] ---**
Oh? But it was you who said I had a mole here.
**[17:53] ---**
I didn't realize myself.
**[17:57] ---**
Oh no, just now...
**[17:59] ---**
Oh, that's right. This isn't yet...
**[18:02] ---**
What now?
**[18:04] ---**
It's a huge misunderstanding... I'm sorry!
**[18:07] ---**
Forget that!
**[18:08] ---**
So she says...
**[18:10] ---**
All right. I believe you anyway.
**[18:13] ---**
I'm in a mind-set now
that can believe almost anything.
**[18:18] ---**
That means there are two
Miss Asahinas in this time?
**[18:24] ---**
Right, the past one...
**[18:26] ---**
From my view, my past self...
**[18:29] ---**
...is eating lunch with
classmates in the classroom now.
**[18:33] ---**
I just wanted to say one thing to you...
**[18:35] ---**
...so I asked the impossible
and came to this time again.
**[18:39] ---**
I had Miss Nagato step out.
**[18:42] ---**
Miss Asahina, you know about Nagato?
**[18:45] ---**
Sorry, classified information.
**[18:48] ---**
Oh, it's been a while since I said that.
**[18:51] ---**
I just heard it a few days ago.
**[18:57] ---**
I can't stay in this time
much longer, so I'll be brief.
**[19:02] ---**
Do you know about *Snow White*?
**[19:04] ---**
Of course I do...
**[19:06] ---**
Whenever you face
a troubling situation from now on...
**[19:10] ---**
...I want you to recall that.
**[19:12] ---**
Seven dwarves, wicked witch,
poisoned apple, and all that?
**[19:16] ---**
Right. The story of *Snow White*.
**[19:19] ---**
I just had a troubling situation yesterday.
**[19:22] ---**
That's not the one. It's more...
**[19:25] ---**
Let's see... I can't give any details...
**[19:28] ---**
...but when the time comes,
Miss Suzumiya should be by you.
**[19:32] ---**
Me and Haruhi? When? Where?
**[19:35] ---**
Miss Suzumiya might not
consider it troublesome...
**[19:41] ---**
...but it's something troubling,
not just for you but all of us.
**[19:46] ---**
I guess giving me the details...
is out of the question.
**[19:50] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[19:52] ---**
But I thought I'd give you a hint.
This is the best that I can do.
**[19:56] ---**
And that's *Snow White*?
**[19:59] ---**
Right.
**[20:01] ---**
I'll keep that in mind.
**[20:09] ---**
I'm amazed I could wear this.
Now it would be impossible.
**[20:14] ---**
What other kinds of outfits
did Haruhi make you wear?
**[20:18] ---**
That's a secret. It's embarrassing.
**[20:21] ---**
Besides, won't you find out in due time?
**[20:24] ---**
Well, I'll be on my way now.
**[20:30] ---**
One last thing...
**[20:33] ---**
Don't be too friendly with me.
**[20:36] ---**
Can you tell me one thing?
**[20:40] ---**
Miss Asahina...
**[20:41] ---**
...how old are you now?
**[20:44] ---**
Classified information.
**[20:46] ---**
That was a smile that'd make
anyone who saw it fall in love.
**[20:54] ---**
It's been a while.
**[20:55] ---**
In other words,
she's playing a high schooler now...
**[20:59] ---**
...and will return to her original era
in the not-so-distant future.
**[21:03] ---**
How much time had elapsed for her?
**[21:07] ---**
From how she matured,
five or maybe three years?
**[21:10] ---**
Women change drastically once they graduate.
**[21:14] ---**
I'm hungry. I'd better get back.
**[21:17] ---**
Oh, brother.
**[21:19] ---**
Yo, did you pass by someone
who looked awfully like Miss Asahina?
**[21:24] ---**
Mikuru Asahina from another time.
We met this morning.
**[21:28] ---**
Can you time travel or something too?
**[21:31] ---**
That Information thing too?
**[21:33] ---**
I cannot, but traveling through time
is not that difficult to do.
**[21:38] ---**
I'd sure like some tips.
**[21:41] ---**
Words cannot explain the concept,
nor can you understand it.
**[21:45] ---**
Is that so?
**[21:46] ---**
It is.
**[21:47] ---**
Then I'm at a loss.
**[21:49] ---**
A loss.
**[21:50] ---**
Nagato, thanks for yesterday.
**[21:53] ---**
Unnecessary.
**[21:54] ---**
Ryoko Asakura's deviant behavior
was my responsibility and failure.
**[22:00] ---**
I think you're better without glasses after all.
**[22:08] ---**
Where were you? I thought you'd
be back and waited without eating!
**[22:12] ---**
Say it like a childhood friend
hiding chagrin with anger.
**[22:16] ---**
Enough nonsense. Over here now!
**[22:18] ---**
I heard Okabe in the teacher's lounge...
**[22:20] ---**
...saying no one knew
about Asakura till this morning.
**[22:24] ---**
Someone claiming to be
her father called early...
**[22:27] ---**
...saying he was suddenly moving. And where?
**[22:30] ---**
Canada! Can that be? It's very fishy!
**[22:33] ---**
Yeah?
**[22:34] ---**
So I asked to get a contact address.
**[22:37] ---**
And guess what? They didn't know that either.
**[22:40] ---**
You at least give a forwarding address.
Something's behind this!
**[22:44] ---**
No way.
**[22:45] ---**
I kept on grilling
till I got her old address.
**[22:48] ---**
I'll go there after school.
**[22:51] ---**
I may find something out!
**[22:54] ---**
As usual, she never listens.
Well, I won't stop her.
**[22:59] ---**
They're her vain efforts, not mine.
**[23:01] ---**
You're coming.
**[23:02] ---**
Why?
**[23:06] ---**
You call yourself a member of the SOS Brigade?
**[23:10] ---**
Today's SOS Brigade: Do as you please.
