Three Two One Go!
Golden Alice, Golden Karen
It's so hot.
You said it.
Summer vacation starts next week.
I hope we can all go somewhere together.
I know! I know!
Let's go to the beach!
What?
But I prefer the mountains.
Yamanote Line game!
Places we want to go in summer!
The beach!
The mountains!
The beach!
The mountains!
Clench
Mountains!
You're so stubborn!
Stop fighting, you two.
Why don't we compromise and do something at home?
Indoor Person
How is that a compromise?!
Indoor Person
I don't mind where we go, as long as it's cool.
We'll have fun anywhere, as long as we're together.
What?
Come on! Let's go to the beach.
I don't want to.
I'll burn.
You'd look good in a swimsuit. You're lucky.
What are you talking about?
Just so you know, I'm an average size.
Rumble
If that's average, then that makes me...
Rumble
Why do you have to be so difficult?
Rumble
I went to a beach recently.
In Hawaii!
Blue skies, white clouds...
Sounds like fun!
I spent a weekend there.
But I'm taller...
Don't worry about that.
Just stick some pads in and everything will be okay.
Come on, let's have a snappy comeback.
Why did you bring that to school?
We can't come to an agreement.
What were we talking about?
How about this?
Let's play cards and the winner can choose what we do.
Bring it on!
Crushing Defeat
The mountains... I wanted to go to the mountains...
Crushing Defeat
Oh, fine.
We'll go to the mountains, then.
Mount Fuji
Mount Fuji!
Mount Fuji
I don't know about that...
It's so hot.
Did you forget anything?
Nope.
Water bottle, rain gear, bug spray.
I left my swimsuit at home.
Very good.
Thanks for waiting.
Shino, aren't you hot?
That's not the right outfit for the mountains.
Is it some kind of cosplay?
I'm a forest fairy.
What are you talking about?
Are you okay?
I'm a forest girl.
Why not a mountain girl?
Because forest girls are cuter.
Shino, you're so cute.
You look just like a fairy.
Really?
I don't want to see a fairy in so much pain.
A girl doesn't mind enduring a little hardship to look good.
That's what my sister told me.
So hot...
Fine, but try not to collapse.
Okay.
Karen sure is late, though, isn't she?
She should be coming with her father.
There they are.
What is this?
Hi!
Get in, everyone!
Who are you?!
She must be rich.
It's summer vacation.
We're not going to Mount Fuji, but we're still going climbing.
The mountains!
Woohoo!
It's so hot.
I feel like I'm gonna sweat my sunscreen off.
Are you out of breath?
People blow on their food like this...
...when they eat hot stew, right?
I see.
You're cooling down the air.
What are you two doing?
Peak
You're all so slow.
Are we nearly there?
I bet it'll feel like an accomplishment when we reach the top.
You're right.
Let's do this.

Hey, not that way.

Hey, everyone.
We can do some stream fishing here!
All the fishing equipment has been set up...
...by my father.
This is what you were really after?
Leave the fishing to me.
When I lived in England, I could really show 'em at fishing.
"Show 'em"?
I'll catch us a fish for lunch.
I'll try to catch a big one.
I need to show Shino how great I am.
Roar
I can't let Karen beat me.
Roar
Alice, you're burning...
All right.
I caught another one.
This one's a big one!
You're amazing, Karen.
I've been good at fishing ever since I was little.
Alice?
Just you wait, Shino!
I'll catch you a tasty fish right now!
It's fine, really!
I appreciate the thought!
Let's eat!
It's good, isn't it, Alice?
Yeah.
Oh, that reminds me...
I made lunch for everyone.
If you'd like...
Hooray.
What?
I've got a little better.
It looks delicious.
You're right.
It's really good.
I wish you were my you-know-what.
Your what?
You know, my mum.
This tastes just like my mum's cooking.
There are lots of bugs out here.
You're right.
Shino, watch out!
Alice?
I-I'm sorry, there was a mosquito... a mosquito...
Aya!
Please.
I feel like I can do anything when I'm with you.
What?
Where did that come from?
Let's dive from there!
No chance!
I should've brought my swimsuit.
You want to swim that badly?
We'll have to make do with just playing in the water.
That's what us young people should do!
All right.
It's so cold.
Come on, Aya.
The water's nice.
Now you've done it!
You're wide open.
Why, you...
There!
Just for a little bit.
Shino, I found a crab.
Wow, a crab?
I want to see.
Shino!
Here I go!
You're in for it now!
How's this?
That's against the rules.
Aya, hurry up!
Just... wait there...
Shino!
All the water it soaked up made it really heavy.
Shino, are you hurt?
Geez...
Sorry, everyone.
Well, it's summer. We'll dry out quickly.
But my clothes will still be dirty.
It's your fault for wearing that outfit.
You're still a fairy even without that outfit, Shino.
It's all right.
We caught lots of fish in the stream.
Shino told me that the fish I cooked for her tasted good.
I'd like to try climbing Mount Fuji someday.
How nice.
How long have you been there, Shino?!
Alice!
Karen!
What am I going to do?
They...
Did you drop the Golden Alice or the Golden Karen?
No, I could never choose!
Never!
What the heck?
Blondes...
Shino, you really like blonde hair, don't you?
How about this one?
There are all kinds of hair colours there!
30 Minutes Later
Blue hair might be nice, too.
No!
Don't dye your hair weird colours!
You're so cute, Alice.
It's a hand-me-down, but there!
All done.
Thank you, Shino.
Did you bring one too, Karen?
Yes.
I've never been to a Japanese festival before.
Me neither.
Everyone helps haul a float with a big samurai on it, right?
A float?
Like a root beer float?
That's an Aomori festival.
The festival we're going to today is the local summer festival.
What?
There won't be any bonfires or shrines?
I don't believe so.
I see.
Alice, hold this.
What?
How nice.
Oh, my!
Oh, Magistrate, you and your antics!
What?
Blonde hair and a yukata.
It's a good combination.
Worry not, my sweet girl!
Shino, what are you going to wear?
Oh, no!
I'm wearing...
Thanks for waiting.
Youko.
What?
You look good in a yukata.
Maybe it's because you have black hair.
Y-You look-
Thanks for waiting.
That's unconventional.
Lanterns, torii gates, happi coats!
Happy?
You wear them when you're happy.
You're lying again.
Onii-chan!
Karasuma-sensei.
Oh, hello, girls.
Karasu-chan, are you lost?
Did you get separated from your brother?
What?
No, I came by myself.
But you've got three.
I... well...
I'm going to eat them all myself!
You'll get fat.
What should we eat first?
Maybe something starchy?
Fried food is good, too.
Cotton candy is for dessert.
Chocolate bananas are dessert, too.
I don't know what to get.
Let's start by walking around and seeing what we want to eat and do.
What?
I want to eat now.
But as soon as you get full, you'll find something you really want to eat, and you won't have the money left.
That happens a lot.
Oh, well, that's...
We have to think before we eat.
The takoyaki's really good.
You're already eating.
No fair.
Hey, boss!
One takoyaki, please!
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, um... Three hundred yen.
Oh, three hundred yen?
Are you going to get any, Alice?
I'm fine.
Would you like one?
Really?
Thank you.
They're hot, so be careful.
Why didn't you tell me that first?!
Now that that's over with, let's go.
Go, go!
I want this.
Karen, I think you should look in a mirror.
You too, Alice.
They're so excited.
The battle's on!
Bring it!
You're quite good at this, aren't you?
This ought to work!
Bye-bye.
But we went through all that trouble to catch them.
It's catch and release.
I almost had it...
I did it.
I'm done, too.
What is that?
It's the Eiffel Tower.
I lost.
How unfortunate.
What is that?
Is it a fire?
The sound of a festival!
Oh, I hope they let us join in.
Hey, Karen!
Oh well.
Youko, why don't you go, too?
What about you?
I'll watch from here.
What?
Aya, are you-
Youko!
Ayaya!
I thought only the drummers were allowed up there.
They do whatever they please.
How does the dance go?
I believe it's like...
That's it.
What's up?!
Yeah!
That was fun.
All that's left are the fireworks.
When will they launch the fireworks?
Boom!
Unfortunately...
There isn't a fireworks display.
What?
No fireworks at all?
Fireworks!
I have some.
You have fireworks?
Yes.
They can't compare to skyrockets, though.
Yay!
Don't swing that around!
They're beautiful.
Yeah.
Aya.
Where have you been?
Aren't you going to light a sparkler?
Here.
How long has it been hurting?
Since we were standing at the station.
From the very beginning?
Why didn't you say something?
I didn't want to put a damper on our festival experience.
It stings because you let it go for so long.
Say something next time.
I know!
Sparklers, huh?
That's nice.
Isa-nee.
Do you want to light a sparkler?
I'm fine.
Isami, what did you buy?
A watermelon.
A watermelon!
We just went to the festival together.
These are for you.
I don't think I can eat all of that by myself.
Shino.
Thank you for taking me to the festival.
How was it?
It was a ton of fun.
It's the most fun I've ever had, too.
Really?
Was this festival better than others?
Well, it may have been because I was with you.
Shino.
It's burned out.
Summer's going to end.
There are still plenty of fireworks.
Yeah.
You do have skyrockets!
Don't.
You have to launch those in a wide open space.
You already lit it?!
Don't point it this way!
Evacuate!
What am I supposed to do?
Douse it in water!
Stay away!
No!

The girl sat all alone, facing her desk all night.
In that quiet room... tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
Only the sound of the clock echoed through the room.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
At midnight on the 1st of September,
she hadn't completed a single summer assignment!
Don't act like that doesn't describe you.
It's already 31st August.
I'll try writing a haiku about my memories of summer.
My very first time, mountains and a festival, me and Shinobu.
With the fireworks, Karen was so dangerous, me and Shinobu.
Blush
You don't have to force my name into each one...
Blush
Hungry Karen
See you.
Hungry Karen
Good night.
