Something was wrong.
That's what my gut was telling me.
I was staring at a game on TV...
...between schools from the same prefecture with absolutely nothing to do with me,
but I just somehow felt like cheering for the losing team,
and that was when I somehow had a feeling that Haruhi was about to make trouble.
I hope he can make an extra effort here.
Kyon-kun, your phone.
Don't need you to tell me that.
They still have a slight hope.
You're free today, right?
We're all meeting up in front of the station at two!
You better come!
During last summer's tournament, he managed nine...
I didn't say a word...
What is it?
[Connected]
Suzumiya Haruhi
I forgot to tell you what to bring.
Bring a swimsuit.
And plenty of money.
And make sure to come on your bicycle.
Over!
I somehow 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?
He connects!
Going deep! Deep!
Summer's almost over, huh?
It's outta here!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi
Endless Eight
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, I should have guessed from the preparations.
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?
No.
You and I are the only ones who brought bikes.
Got it, Kyon?
You can't lose to Koizumi-kun!
Let's head off then!
No ESP allowed!
Put your bikes away already, you two!
Kyon...
Why are you all worn out before we've even started having fun?
Whose fault do you think that is, huh!?
The smell of chlorine really brings out the atmosphere!
Jump in, already!
The water's all warm and comfortable!
Can't she read the "No Diving" sign!?
She seems to be having fun.
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.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Probably just my imagination.
We should also get ready.
It's bitter!
Another one!
It feels like I've seen this scene before.
With Nagato looking somewhat bored...
Kyon!
Yeah.
And then Haruhi 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 dodgeball!
Yeah, yeah.
Well, déjà vu is a fairly common phenomenon.
I came up with a list of activities for us to do!
What do you think?

An itinerary for how we're spending what little remains of summer vacation!
I just noticed.
We only have two weeks of summer vacation left.
That left me in a state of shock.
It feels like there are so many things I still want to do,
but our time is limited!
We'll be kicking it up a notch!
We're supposed to clear this in less than two weeks?
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.
We'll begin tomorrow, then!
Is there a Bon Dance going on anywhere nearby tomorrow?
Fireworks would also work.
I'll look into it.
I'll be in touch later.
Don't forget about goldfish scooping!
It's a rare request from Mikuru-chan!
Roger that.
That's all for today, then!
I'll be off, then.
Me, too.
Nagato!
Well...
It's nothing, really.
How have you been?
Are you doing okay?
Okay.
That's good to hear.
What was that?
Why did I talk to her?
We have an announcement for all the visitors.
A Bon Dance, huh?
I'm surprised by all the people here.
Whoa.
That stage...
That stand...
Haven't been to one in years,
yet it feels like I was just here.
Mikuru-chan!
There's the goldfish scooping you wanted to do!
Scoop all you want!
Okay!
Shall we join them?
How about a contest?
I'll pass.
Anyway, Nagato.
Wanna grab something to eat?
That's what you're interested in?
Which one?
No need.
This.
Sure thing!
It'll be 800 yen.
I'm pretty sure that I owed her a fair deal,
so I wouldn't have minded buying that for her.
Thirteen fish!
Man, that was a fine haul!
But I only took one, since we didn't need that many.
And one for Mikuru-chan.
I'm willing to let you have one.
Thanks.
Huh?
Yuki, what's with the mask?
I bought it.
Really.
NO LOUD FIREWORKS
It was summer.
Summer vacation.
So I wanted to let loose and forget it all,
but something was bothering me.
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.
Three days!?
Get the painful stuff over with early,
so you're free to have fun without any worries.
Why does a girl like her have brains?
God did a pretty half-assed job of spreading the wealth.
Everybody!
We're collecting insects tomorrow!
Whoever collects the most bugs...
Let's see...
Gets to be brigade chief for a day!
No thanks!
That sounds quite fun.
Any insect will do?
Well...
They have to be cicadas!
Yes.
This will be the SOS Brigade Cicada Hunt!
The following day was unbelievably sunny.
The stage was set for the SOS Brigade Cicada Hunt.
Bleh!
That's not a cicada!
Wait!
A Jambar scarab beetle!
Everybody tried their best,
but in the end, as expected, I suppose,
Haruhi was the winner.
You need to follow the spirit of catch and release.
If we let them go now, they might return the favor in the future!
What could a cicada possibly do for you?
There.
Go back to the mountains!
I almost felt like Pandora opening her box.
W-Welcome!
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.
Now I know how it must have felt for Unit 00 after getting hit by that beam.
Thanks, everyone!
What's with the special treatment?
Good work!
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!
We were slaving away for such a stupid reason?
I'll stick this frog in the clubroom as a souvenir!
Mikuru-chan!
Feel free to wear this whenever you want!
I give you permission!
Okay, um...
What is it?
No, it's nothing.
Don't look this way.
Come on, Mikuru-chan!
N-Not right now!
You're going to drop your popsicle.
That night.
My quiet slumber was interrupted...
...by another phone call.
The number you have dialed is...
What was that!?
Kyon-kun...
Asahina-san?
Yes, it's me...
Something terrible has...
At this rate...
Uh...
Hello, this is Koizumi.
Why are you with Asahina-san at this hour?
We have a bit of a situation on our hands.
Would it be possible for you to come here right now?
What exactly happened, Asahina-san?
Kyon-kun...
I...
...can no longer return to the fu-
Allow me to summarize.
We are stuck in an infinite time loop.
Hard to believe something so ludicrous when you have a smile on your face.
Koizumi...
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...
Call me so I can be part of the discussion!
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 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 on summer vacation right now.
An endless summer that can never end.
Any point from September on...
...has completely disappeared from this world.
Who would ever believe that?
I was hoping that you might believe me.
Um...
I can help explain...
Well...
I normally use to contact the future...
...or ...
But after a week without ,
I was starting to wonder...
...if something was wrong.
And then ...
I was so surprised...
...that I tried to in a rush,
but there wasn't any ...
What do I do...?
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 when there's a time traveler among us.
No.
Asahina-san has nothing to do with this incident.
What's the cause 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.
What the hell?
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.
It's been bugging me for a while,
but you seem to be enjoying this.
For we've finally solved the mystery behind this perpetual feeling of déjà vu.
In retrospect,
I would say that they were the remnants...
...of the memories that had been reset.
Could the whole world be feeling the same way?
I doubt that.
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.
Is that so?
Yes.
You remember everything?
Yes.
And how many loops have we been through?
This would be the 15,521st loop.
15,521?
What do you mean by 15,521?
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 15,521 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 9,048 instances of working part-time,
but there have been six different variations...
Aside from distributing balloons,
there has also been carrying objects,
manning cash registers,
passing out flyers,
working at a call center...
Yeah, that's enough.
15,521 times.
That's what Nagato said.
Multiplied by two weeks, that's...
Uh...
Around 595 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 this entire time.
Chalk up another ridiculous conversation.
I wonder if any exist.
Any what?
Martians.
I'd rather they didn't.
There don't seem to be any on the surface,
so if there are, they must be a really reserved race who live in underground caverns.
I'm sure they'll pop out to greet us...
...when humans set foot on Mars for the first time.
They'll be like, "Welcome to Mars!"
I'd rather they just show up normally.
Man, I'm sick of this.
Let's look for UFOs. UFOs!
We went stargazing the next day.
The location was Nagato's apartment building.
Koizumi brought the telescope.
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?
But no.
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.
Hey, Nagato.
You noticed that time was looping...
...before Asahina-san ever said anything, right?
Yes.
Why didn't you say anything then?
Text: SOS BRIGADE TEST OF COURAGE, LEAVE THE DOLL AS PROOF!
My job is to observe.
I see.
The rush of summer events continued.
We went to see real fireworks.
We even participated in a Goby Fishing Contest.
WARNING!
It is possible for the water level to rise when it isn't raining because of rain upstream
Take extreme caution
Please leave the riverbed when you notice saturation
There was also a trip to the batting center.
Going to see a movie.
Sea bathing.
Bowling.
Karaoke, etc...
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.
Don't draw on it!
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, it's not enough.
You can't be satisfied yet!
That's all for today, then.
I had tomorrow set aside just in case,
but you can just rest at home, instead.
I'll see you all in the clubroom in two days, then.
Wait!
Haruhi!
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.
I can't let Haruhi leave now...
If I let her leave now,
we'll have to repeat...
...the two weeks...
...that we've already repeated over ten thousand times!
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.
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...
That's all for today, then.
I had tomorrow set aside just in case,
but you can just rest at home, instead.
I'll see you all in the clubroom in two days, then.
I no longer care.
August 31st.
Homework untouched.
Forget it.
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.
