I told you, if that's what you really want to do,
you should do it by yourself!
Honestly, you're just overbearing!
We can't really commit to it that much.
It's only a doujinshi!
Why are you so strict with the deadlines?!
It's not fun if we can't have our freedom.
Yeah. Exactly.
Have fun writing by yourself.
Let's go.
itsuka kimi to miageta sora wa
いつか君と見上げた空は
The sky that we gazed at the other day,
kokoro no naka sotto toketeiku
心の中 そっと溶けていく
quietly, into my heart, it melted away.
shiroi nooto ni kaita tegami wa
白いノートに書いた手紙は
The white note paper, where I wrote the letter,
yukusaki o tsugenai mama tojikometa
行く先を告げないまま閉じ込めた
is gone, and without telling you, has been locked away.
kotoba ni sureba modorenai kara
言葉にすれば戻れないから
If I were to tell you, then we cannot go back.
itsumo kimi to miageta sora wa
いつも君と見上げた空は
The sky that we've always gazed at;
kanashii kurai aoku sukitootteita
悲しいくらい青く透きとおっていた
so sad, so blue, so clear.
Alright, that's it.
What did you get for that answer?
Don't write anymore!
Turn the answer sheet over and collect it from the back.
If you get lower than a 30, you'll have to attend the review session.
It's too late.
Man, I probably have to go to the review.
Do we have club today?
Sumi-chan!
Should we go over the answers together?
Murasame-san!
Hey, Aoi-san!
Did you consider what I told you last time?
About... what?
About this!
The "Yuri Festival" with an all yuri doujin sale! Yeah!
Us as "Orino Masaka's Ministers", we're set so...
Us?
We should include the celebration for...
Let's get excited!
Kazama.
Anyway, since it's your first doujin, Murasame-san...
Don't run away! Help me out!
She's your brother's fan!
Don't get too close with her.
You have to keep her from knowing that my brother is Orino Masaka!
Don't worry! With your brother's skills,
they won't mind if he's a guy!
Sumi-chan, you don't understand the fans!
Teen infatuation can easily be transformed into negative energy!
You're reading into it too much!
Trust your brother!
I'm not talking about that!
The editors thought it'll be best for the fans
to have the author remain a mysterious woman.
You can't go and reveal that!
But isn't that deceiving the fans?!
No! We're giving them hope!
Don't deny the truth!
I'm amazed that they can communicate like that.
Why doesn't "five head" over there notice either?
Alright! I'm going to go home and write the rough draft!
I'm going to catch up for all the days I've been slacking!
It's so hot.
Where are you going to work during the summer?
I wonder...
... if there's a job that'll pay 1000 yen/hour for sitting around in an AC room.
There won't be.
You commoners have fun with your lazy summer.
My summer is going to be...
... spent drafting a doujinshi with Murasame-san.
I'll have slept over at Murasame-san's house.
I'll have participated in an event.
We'll have gone to the beach and the mountain.
That's what I hope!
Hey, welcome home Azusa.
I'm back...
Can you watch the store for a minute?
What?
Why? Where's Mum?
She's at Grandma's hospital.
You're done with your test and you're free, right? See ya!
I have things to do too!
Welcome, welcome!
I guess it's alright.
My house isn't suitable for writing in the daytime anyway.
Since we've all finished the test...
... we have to start planning for our activities!
Activities? For what?
Has the testing got you dazed?!
I'm talking about the "Girls' Club!"
You still haven't given up on it?!
"Giving up" doesn't exist in Tomoe-chan's dictionary!
I think there are lots of words that aren't in the dictionary either.
Our club wasn't approved and Yamasaki Akemi-kun disappeared...
You're right! Akemi-chan.
Where did she go?
She disappeared just like that, huh?
She's just like a ghost member.
Good one Tomoe-chan!
We are faced with our biggest challenge since our creation!
Already?
If this continues, our time after school...
... won't meet the goals of spending time with just the girls!
What about right now? Isn't this it?
How many times do I have to tell you?
We have to enjoy club activities at our age!
Got it.
Anything that I say to you is useless. I got that.
That's the best part about Tomoe-chan!
Best?!
I tried to recruit Torioi-kun again, but...
"I'm not going to join you! Ha Ha Ha!"
That's what she said and left.
When?!
Anyway, don't bother Kiyori-chan.
We'll leave recruiting members for later.
Anyway, I have a plan for us to strengthen our bond.
What are we going to do?
It's summertime.
Speaking of summertime... It's time for camp!
Murasame-san's house was a great mansion.
She even had maids.
I'll bet she even has holiday homes.
What if she invites me over?! I can't contain myself!
Look! The stars are beautiful.
It's like we're floating in outer space.
What if that happens?!
I might come up with originals this summer!
Um, excuse me.
That's a brilliant idea!
An original novel that's not an alternative fiction!
But, the characters are too obvious.
How do you come up with an original?
It's my first time.
It might be better making an alternative fiction.
No!
I might not be able to write this one well, but...
... if I work hard, I'm sure Murasame-san will be inspired!
Most importantly, it's my first novel that I'm writing with a friend!
I want to do my best!
Is Azusa in her room?
Yeah.
I thought she was done with the tests.
I'll bet she's working on the doujinshi.
That's right. She was excited to find someone else that was into it.
I was worried about her.
Seemed like she didn't have much friends.
But, I don't think I have to worry about her anymore.
We set the date for our camp. It's August 6th.
Wait a minute. Are we really doing this?
Yeah, I told you.
You have the best grades in our class,
but you have a hard time remembering things, huh?
You need to be more conscious as a member.
The Planning Committee doesn't need a camp!
I told you it's the "Girls' Club."
Let's get back to work everyone.
You can't just decide for me.
I have my own plans too.
Murasame-kun.
What?
We're going to the beach.
Let your imagination go.
Speaking of beaches...
Sumi-chan!
That's not an imagination, that's a delusion.
Well... camp, huh?! Sounds great. And it's summertime too!
Sumi-chan.
So simple.
The beach?
That sounds great!
Would you like to come with us, Torioi-kun?
Really?! I'll go if it doesn't clash with my club.
I don't know if I'll fit into the bathing suit from last year.
Shut up.
Well, in that case...
... let's go shopping for one after school tomorrow.
That sounds good! Let's go!
I know your ulterior motive.
What?!
Why are you saying I have an ulterior motive!
Stop fighting.
You're still delusional!
I'm not!
I'll show her the finished product and surprise her!
Murasame-san might be encouraged to write an original of her own too!
Wait... if I do that, it won't be a book about Sister Masaka!
Oh, well.
I'm so excited!
Summer vacation hasn't even started yet.
But it's really fun!
I'm done! I'm done!
My first original novel!
Wow! What should I do? I can't believe it!
Wow, at 1,200 characters a page, it's 50 pages!
This is not in the realm of a parody magazine anymore.
I might be... moving up the ladder as an adult!
Well, I'll think about that later.
I'm going to sleep now.
But, I start school in two hours.
Oh yeah...
The title.
What should it be?
Sunflower... Language of Sunflowers.
I am gazing away at you.
Was I supposed to do something?
You don't ... remember?
Right after the test...
Oh, right!
I'm sorry, I was still in a daze from all that studying.
Everyone take your seats.
I'm going to pass out your report cards.
Oh, I'll talk to you later!
No one calls them report cards anymore, huh?
I'm alright...
I'll be OK.
I told you!
Honestly...
It's just a doujinshi!
You're too strict!
I don't want deadlines!
Aoi-san?
Don't be late. I'm going to scolded for it.
Alright, what time was it?
Nine o'clock.
Not ten o'clock?
That's when it opens.
Why at nine then?
We need to get ready before opening.
I'm alright.
Aoi-san. I guess she went home.
Murasame-kun.
suisou ni ukabu awa futatsu
The two bubbles float on the water tank.
mado goshi ni hikaru sora e to tokedasu
Beyond the window, they glitter and melt into the sky.
machi o dete kumo no mukou
As they leave the town, towards the clouds,
It's not my first summer vacation alone.
yumemiru bakari
I had a dream.
tada soko ni nani ga aru no ka o
We just knew what there was...
Hey, welcome home Azusa.
watashitachi wa shiritakute
... over there.
Were your grades bad?
We have an additional order for beer.
Hey, Azusa, welcome home.
mukou gishi hibiku kimi no koe
Even though your voice could be heard from the shore,
Hey, what was it called? That event...
You're going with your friend right?
You should bring her over.
sugu soko ni mieteru noni sora yori tooi
you could be seen straight away from far away in the sky.
Wow, this room is so messy.
Girls who like you are always like this.
I...
... did something bad, huh?
If you think so, just take it back.
Oh, I fell asleep.
Oh no. My window was left open.
I wonder if my neighbours heard me crying.
Murasame... -san?
I'm sorry.
Murasame-san!
What?!
suroomooshon yomigaeru kousha no kage
スロモーション 蘇る校舎の影
In slow motion, the memories of the school building came back.
yuuhi wo abinagara watashitachi wa waratteta
夕陽を浴びながら 私たちは笑ってた
Bathing in the setting sun, we laughed.
otagai ano toki kara kawattenai shinchou nanda keredo
お互いあの時から 変わってない 身長なんだけれど
Neither of us have changed since then, but we have grown.
mieru keshiki kawatta ka na?
見える景色 変わったかな?
Has the scene around us changed?
onaji poketto janai kedo
同じポケットじゃないけど
It's not the same pocket, but
onaji takaramono ga nemuru
同じ宝物が眠る
the same treasures lie in it.
yorokobi kanashimi zenbu share!
歓び哀しみ全部 share!
Happiness and sadness, we share them all.
wakeatte naite waratta ne
分け合って泣いて笑ったね
We cried and laughed together,
issho da yo chigatta michi no ue demo
一緒だよ 違った道の上でも
even if we walk on separate paths.
What are you going to do with this?
You didn't know Murasame-san?!
This! This!
All yuri doujin sale!
"Yuri Festival!" Yeah!
Parodies, two dimensional, three dimensional, it doesn't matter! Everything Yuri!
It's at the Holy Land, Ariake! No boys allowed!
It's a festival for the girls!
August 7th?!
Next Week: "Happenings in the Summer"
It's the beach next week!
Yeah!
I'm envious.
I got my license just for this day!
Fabulous!
I have a bad feeling about this...
Oh, that's weird. The engine isn't...
Go! Go!
Are you, OK?
