Something was wrong.
That's what my gut was telling me.
The game on TV...
...between schools from the same prefecture had absolutely nothing to do with me,
but I just somehow felt like cheering for the losing team,
which was when I somehow had a feeling that Haruhi was about to make trouble.
Incoming Call
Suzumiya Haruhi
They still have a chance to come back if they can hold here.
Kyon-kun, your phone.
Don't need you to tell me that.
Suzuki is on the mound.
I hope he can make an extra effort here.
You're free today, right?
We're all meeting up in front of the station at two!
You better come!
I didn't say a word...
Kyon-kun, your phone.
I know.
What is it?
I forgot to tell you what to bring.
Bring a swimsuit.
And plenty of money.
And make sure to come on your bicycle.
Over!
What?
The first pitch is a strike.
Nothing wrong so far.
Somehow, I had a feeling that I knew what Haruhi was going to say.
No, that's not exactly right.
I should say that I had a feeling this had all happened before.
Is this what they call déjà vu?
It's headed deep left!
It's gone!
A solo home run.
That gives Jyonan their eighth run!
You're late, Kyon!
You need to show some more effort!
Yeah, yeah.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I just got here myself.
Well, everybody's here.
Let's get going!
Where to?
The public pool, obviously.
Well, that would make sense.
You're supposed to do summer-like activities in the summertime!
Time never comes back once it's gone!
That's why we have to do this now,
during our only summer as freshmen in high school!
Just so you know, we're going to the pool by bicycle.
You all rode here on your bikes?
You and I are the only ones who brought bikes.
Okay!
Is everybody ready?
Like hell we are!
All ready!
Kyon.
You can't lose to Koizumi-kun!
Off we go!
Damn it all!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi
Endless Eight
Kyon...
Why are you all worn out before we've even started having fun?
You're such a slob.
Whose fault do you think that is, huh?
The smell of chlorine really brings out the atmosphere!
We can start with a swim!
Let's race!
Sign: No Diving/Danger!
Can't she read this?
Jump in, already!
The water's all warm and comfortable!
She looks to be enjoying herself.
Quite a pleasant sight.
Wouldn't you agree that...
...Suzumiya-san is learning to have fun in a normal fashion?
There shouldn't be any earth-shaking events...
...when Suzumiya-san has such a cheerful smile on her face.
Sure hope you're right.
You should swim with me!
What's wrong?
Koizumi!
Nothing.
Probably just my imagination.
I must have become a little over-sensitive...
...after everything that's happened since spring.
Well, then.
Let's go swim.
Hey!
C'mon!
Take that!
Wait up!
Man...
It'd be more appropriate...
...to call this place a communal pool instead of a public pool.
This sensation...
It feels like I've seen this scene before.
With Nagato looking somewhat bored...
And then...
Kyon!
Yeah.
Haruhi comes over...
...and says the following:
These are my brigade members.
They'll do whatever I say, so feel free to ask for anything!
Okay! Let's go have a blast!
We're gonna play underwater soccer!
Come on!
Well, déjà vu is a fairly common phenomenon.
Here I come, Mikuru-chan!
Okay!
Ah, sorry about that.

What's this?
I came up with a list of activities for us to do.
An itinerary for how we're spending what little remains of summer vacation.
We only have two weeks of summer vacation left,
Summer Camp Stargazing
Pool Batting Practice
Bon Dance
Insect Collecting
Fireworks
Test of Courage
Part-time Job
Other
and it feels like there are so many things I still want to do.
But our time is limited,
so listen up.
We'll be kicking it up a notch.
Mikuru-chan, is there anything else you want to do?
Um...
I'd like to scoop goldfish.
Okay!
Goldfish scooping, it is.
Excuse me for a second.
Thank you.
Hey, is there a Bon Dance going on anywhere nearby tomorrow?
Fireworks would also work.
I'll look into it.
Don't forget about goldfish scooping.
It's a rare request from Mikuru-chan.
Roger that.
Here you are, Kyon.
We'll begin tomorrow!
Incoming Call
Suzumiya Haruhi
Incoming Call
Suzumiya Haruhi
The next morning.
I was woken from my idle slumber...
...by another call from Haruhi.
She'd found a place holding a Bon Dance.
It'd be this evening at the public grounds, apparently.
But Mikuru-chan and Yuki don't have yukatas,
so we're going to go buy yukatas to wear tonight.
I don't have one either,
and I saw a place selling the whole outfit cheap!
You guys get to come with us!
Once Haruhi entered the women's clothing store,
she arbitrarily chose Asahina-san's and Nagato's,
before stomping over to a changing room.
We waited close to an hour...
I was starting to yawn...
...when the three of them finally emerged.
Excellent!
You all look marvelous.
Of course!
Since I chose them.
Especially Mikuru-chan!
She's absolutely adorable!
I have great taste!
Y-Yes...
Asahina-san!
Great!
Asahina-san!
I'm surprised by all the people here.
There's that sensation again.
Pretty sure I haven't been to one in years,
yet it feels like I've been to one recently?
That stage...
That stand...
This is...
Mikuru-chan!
Here's the goldfish scooping you wanted to do!
Over here!
O-Okay!
Well?
Shall we join them?
Nah, I'll pass.
That's what you're interested in?
Which one? I'll buy it for you...
No need.
This.
Sure thing!
I'm pretty sure that I owed her a fair deal,
so I wouldn't have minded buying that for her.
Man, that was a fine haul!
Thirteen fish!
But Mikuru-chan and I only took one each,
since we didn't need that many.
Huh?
Yuki...
What's with the mask?
I bought it.
Really...
Lend me your back for a bit.
Just face the other way.

Okay!
Let's do fireworks next! Fireworks!
Get it out of the way, today!
Have you ever heard of the phrase, "Everything in moderation"?
It was summer.
Summer vacation.
So I wanted to let loose and forget it all,
but something was bothering me.
Okay, everybody!
We're collecting insects tomorrow.
The SOS Brigade Cicada Hunt!
Whoever collects the most...
...gets to be brigade chief for a day!
Haruhi.
There's nothing wrong with having fun,
but have you finished your summer homework?
What's wrong with you?
That little bit only takes three days to finish.
Get the painful stuff over with early,
so you're free to have fun without any worries.
That would be the correct way to enjoy summer vacation!
Why does a girl like her have brains?
The following day was unbelievably sunny.
The stage was set for the SOS Brigade Cicada Hunt.
Everybody tried their best,
but in the end, as expected, I suppose,
Haruhi was the winner.
The next day.
We were assembled for some unknown reason,
stuffed into frog costumes for some unknown reason...
...and forced into a job of handing out balloons at the supermarket.
Are you okay?
Thought I was gonna die...
Or yeah, I'm dying...
Good work, everyone!
Thanks for standing out in the heat.
The manager and my man really appreciated it.
I don't need any appreciation from your man.
What about our pay?
This.
I've wanted it for such a long time.
My man said he'd give it to me for Mikuru-chan's sake.
We were slaving away for such a stupid reason?
Mikuru-chan, feel free to wear this whenever you want.
I give you permission.
Ribbit.
That night.
My quiet slumber was interrupted...
...by another phone call.
Damn it...
Yes?
Kyon-kun...
Could it possibly be Asahina-san?
Yes, it's me...
Something terrible has...
At this rate, I...
Uh...
Hello, this is Koizumi.
Why are you with Asahina-san!?
We have a bit of a situation on our hands.
Would it be possible for you to come here right now?
You better believe it!
I'll be right there!
Asahina-san.
What exactly happened?
Kyon-kun...
I...
...can no longer return to the future!
You can no longer return?
Uh...
What does that mean...?
Allow me to summarize.
We are stuck in an infinite time loop.
What?
We are stuck in an infinite time loop.
We are stuck in an infinite time loo-
Do you have any idea what you're saying?
Of course.
I am fully aware of the implications.
I was discussing the matter with Asahina-san earlier...
Don't leave me out.
As a result,
we realized that something was odd about the recent flow of time.
You should credit the discovery to Asahina-san.
She was able to confirm my suspicion.
What suspicion?
That we are stuck in an infinite time loop...
...and have already experienced the same period many times over.
I already heard about that.
To be precise, it would be the period of August 17th to the 31st.
We are currently in the middle of a summer vacation with no end.
We're certainly in the middle of a summer vacation.
This is an endless summer that can never end.
As of this moment, any point from September on...
...has disappeared from this world.
That is why Asahina-san is no longer able to return to the future.
It's only natural for her to be unable to return to a future that does not exist.
Give me a break!
How is there anything natural about your stupid story?
Who would ever believe you?
I was hoping that you might believe me.
Um...
I can help explain.
Well...
I-I normally use ...
...to contact the future...
...or ...
But after a week without ,
I was starting to wonder if something was wrong.
And then happened...
I was so surprised that I tried to in a rush,
Asahina-san...
Does that ...
but there wasn't any ...
...work like some kind of censor?
So...
Are we trapped in something along the lines of closed space?
That's not the case here.
Only a sector of time has been cut off.
There is a process...
...at midnight on August 31st...
...where everything is reset...
...and returned to the 17th.
What about our-
I mean, everybody's memories?
Those are also reset.
Everybody starts over from the beginning.
Another problem involving time, huh?
Well, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
No.
Asahina-san has nothing to do with this incident.
What is it, then?
It must be Suzumiya-san.
She is most likely unaware of this fact,
but some part of her must not want...
...summer vacation to end.
She still has regrets or something?
I would believe so.
I would presume that she feels there is still something left to be done during summer vacation.
She always manages to turn a minor issue into something on a galactic scale.
It's been bugging me for a while,
but you seem to be enjoying this.
For we've finally solved the mystery behind the frequent feeling of déjà vu.
In retrospect,
I would say that they were the remnants of the memories...
...that had been reset.
You must have felt the same way.
Could the whole world be feeling the same way?
You and I are exceptions.
People who are close to Suzumiya-san...
...appear to have a higher chance of noticing.
What about Haruhi?
Is she aware of what's going on?
It seems that she's utterly clueless.
Though, you could say that it's better this way.
However,
I believe that...
...there has to be one person who doesn't have to deal with déjà vu,
because she remembers everything that has happened.
Who might that person be?
You shouldn't need me to tell you.
Nagato, is that so?
Yes.
You remember everything?
Yes.
And how many loops have we been through?
This would be the 15,499th loop.
Wha-
15,499?
What do you mean, 15,499?
Nagato, what are you talking about?
Are you serious about that?
Yes.
We've done the exact same things that many times?
That is not necessarily the case.
Over the course of 15,499 loops,
there were two instances without a trip to the Bon Dance.
The 2,391st and 11,054th.
And there were 437 instances where the trip occurred without goldfish scooping.
There were 9,205 instances of working part-time,
but there have been six different variations...
Aside from distributing balloons,
there has been carrying objects,
manning cash registers,
passing out flyers,
working a call center-
I got it.
That's enough.
15,499 times.
That's what Nagato said.
Multiplied by two weeks, that's, uh...
Around 594 years.
So, she's been the only one...
...who's gone through loop after loop...
...with her memories intact?
Nagato...
I can't imagine how it must have felt...
...as you endured loop after loop.
Chalk up another ridiculous conversation.
We went stargazing the next day.
The location was the roof of Nagato's apartment building.
Koizumi brought his telescope.
I'm sick of this.
Let's look for UFOs. UFOs.
Hey!
Haruhi! Cut it out!
Hey!
Stop! Hey!
What does she want to do?
What, indeed.
This difficulty would be as good as resolved if we knew the answer.
Why don't we try this?
Embrace Suzumiya-san from behind...
...and whisper, "I love you," into her ear.
Who's supposed to do that?
Would anyone be more suited for the role than you?
I absolutely refuse!
Shall I give it a try, then?
I merely jest.
I wouldn't be able to fulfill the role.
It would only serve to confuse Suzumiya-san.
The rush of summer events continued on.
We went to the batting center.
We also went to see real fireworks.
We even participated in a Goby Fishing Contest.
There was also a test of courage.
Going to see a movie.
Sea bathing.
Bowling.
And karaoke.
We were constantly on the move.
Naturally, I didn't expect it to be enough to satisfy Haruhi,
but I still didn't have a clue as to what I could do.
Regardless, we were running out of days left in summer vacation.
And soon enough,
it was August 30th.
We've finished off our list.
Was this enough?
But...
I guess that's all there is.
Hey, is there anything else you want to do?
Oh, well.
We managed to get a lot of stuff done this summer,
so that should be enough.
No, Haruhi.
You can't be satisfied yet,
right?
That's all for today, then.
I had tomorrow set aside just in case,
but you can rest at home, instead.
I'll see you all in the clubroom in two days, then.
W-Wait, Haruhi!
There it is again!
Déjà vu!
And it's stronger than anything before!
I can't let Haruhi leave for now!
If I do,
we'll have to repeat the two weeks...
...we've already repeated over ten thousand times!
But what am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to say?
There should have been some kind of hint in what Haruhi said.
But what was it?
What has she been saying?
I don't know...
I can't think of anything...
August 31st.
Homework untouched.
Forget it.
I no longer care.
There's no point in doing my homework...
...if time's going to loop back again.
Guess I'll just leave it to...
...whichever me is around, whether tomorrow comes or not.
