The cultural festival...
...and subsequent chaos was finally over with.
And now that...
...we can hear the approaching footsteps of winter and mountain winds howling...
...December draws near.
In this old shack dating back to the school's founding...
...the clubhouse...
...within its flimsy walls...
...we spent one...
SOS Brigade
...unusually cold day.

The answer is always in my heart.

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi

I wonder why... I'm the one who chose you.

Only do the things you can truly experience.

I believe you...
Someday in the Rain
The SOS Brigade keeps getting caught up in various incidents.
Or to be more precise...
...I am.
Even so, we couldn't possibly run into situations like that every single day.
Besides...
...if these bombshells of not-so-ordinary life went off every day...
...my body would break.
My spirit would fare far worse.
CHIEF
In any case...
...it sure is nice and quiet when Haruhi isn't around.
But I guess it's...
...a little too quiet, huh?
Now that I think about it...
...it's already been half a year since I met everyone.
We've sure been through a lot.
Situations where Haruhi was the instigator...
...and a few where she wasn't.
Well...
Most of them started when we were kicking back and relaxing in the clubroom like so...
...only to be interrupted by her barging in...
Guess what, everyone!
Great news!
Again?
Her so-called great news...
...always ends up being...
...especially for Asahina-san and me...
...anything but.
What is it this time?
I've made arrangements for there to be heating in the clubroom.
Right away!
The electronics store that was a sponsor for the movie...
...offered to provide heating.
He forgot that he'd put one of last year's unsold units into storage...
...so he called and asked if we would take a heater he was planning to throw out anyway.
I doubt an electronics store would be...
...bored and considerate enough to bother...
...calling Haruhi about such a wonderful offer...
...which means she probably wormed this out of the guy.
So, Kyon...
...you go to the store and pick it up.
Me?
Now?
Yes.
You. Now.
Look here.
You want me to go back down the hill I already have to walk up and down every day...
...and take the train two whole stops to the electronics store...
...then come all the way back while carrying that thing?
That's right.
If you don't hurry...
...the guy might change his mind!
Just get going already!
It's not like you have anything better to do.
I get the feeling that being in this room...
...automatically marks you as a person with nothing better to do.
And you have something better to do?
I have something I have to take care of.
Koizumi-kun is the vice chief...
...and you're just a mere brigade member.
Making lower peons work their butts off is a practice found in any organization!
And naturally, the SOS Brigade is adhering to that rule.
Oh well.
At least Haruhi's made a reasonable request this time.
Fine, fine.
Do be careful.
It just so happened that I'd been wanting heating in the clubroom.
I'll go with you.
Not you, Mikuru-chan.
If the alternative means Asahina-san or Nagato doing it...
You stay here.
It's, like, Kyon's duty to handle these odd errands.
...I might as well go.
Wait!
It's cold today.
Thanks.
Hurry up!
Get going!
Now.
The obstacle has been dealt with.
Mikuru-chan.
I want to take a few pictures, so how about you strike a pose.
Wh-What kind of pictures!?
Isn't that obvious?
Pictures for the cover jacket...
...for the upcoming DVD of the movie we showed at the cultural festival, "The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru."
Do you really mean to make a DVD for it?
Didn't you give up on that idea?
That's only 'cause Kyon was being annoying about it.
Nobody's around to oppose me now.
It was a tedious trek, the first time I climbed this hill on my way to school...
...but after half a year, I've totally gotten used to it.
Used to the hiking workout to and from school...
And...
...used to the SOS Brigade.
I wonder what...
...Haruhi is doing right now...
...in the clubroom without me around.
I hope she didn't say she was bored or something...
...and started using Asahina-san as her plaything.
Koizumi-kun.
You're responsible for holding up the mirror.
Understood.
Mikuru-chan.
Don't just stand there.
Strike a pose!
C'mon! C'mon!
O-Okay!
Your smile needs to be more provocative!
Look more sultry!
That's not going to satisfy the male users!
Time for a costume change!
This one's next!
Come on already!
Let go!
No!
I'll do it myself!
Who cares!
It's faster if I help!
Y-You even took off my bra...
It's gonna come off in the end anyway!
Mikuru-chan...
...did you get even bigger?
You're looking even more dynamite!
Wh-Wh-Wh-Where are you touching me!?
Stop struggling!
No!
My tea's gotten cold.
It's cold...
And this is embarrassing...
Mikuru-chan.
You should be more confident in yourself.
After all, I picked you as the number one mascot character in this school!
Right, Koizumi-kun?
It is exactly as you say.
Next, then!
Put this on!
Again...?
No!
I-I-I can do it myself!
Geez.
We have to finish everything today!
Hurry up!
Okay, next!
This one!
Um...
This nurse outfit and that costume...
...weren't used in the movie...
Are these pictures really for the cover jacket?
Sure!
But a light bulb just went off in my head!
We have enough pictures to put together a picturebook, right?
What do you think about my idea, Koizumi-kun?
A quite splendid idea.
No! Wait!
If we're going to release a DVD...
...we should tack on some special bonus footage, right?
What do you think about my idea, Koizumi-kun?
An extraordinarily excellent idea.
The train will be arriving momentarily.
Turn around.
It would seem that...
...a shower is imminent.
Put this on!
Wasn't it funny?
Really?
I was totally expecting it!
Come on! Take it off! Take it off!
It's not over yet?
Don't move!
You don't need to take that off!
It covers an important spot, so it has to go!
Boooon!
These looping feelings!
No!
So fun!
This is the heater I promised.
Can you carry it back?
Yes, somehow.
Are those cute little girls doing well?
One of them is doing so well she causes everyone trouble.
Did the commercial help business at all?
To be honest...
...I haven't seen any change.
Well, yeah.
A commercial in the middle of a movie shown at a school cultural festival...
...has too small of an audience.
I'm amazed you actually sponsored the thing.
By the way...
The cheerful girl mentioned this on the phone...
Are you really making a sequel to the movie?
If she says so...
...then it must be true.
She asked me to sponsor the next one, too.
Consider this heater an advance on the next movie.
So that's the trick she used.
I'm off, then.
Thank you very much.
Take care.
The candy is so red.
A-I-U-E-O.
Yellow-green little shrimp swim, too.
Persimmon tree. Chestnut tree.
Ka-Ki-Ku-Ke-Ko.
Woodpecker steadily drilling at a withered zelkova.
Splash vinegar as an offering.
Sa-Shi-Su-Se-So.
That fish was caught in the shallows.
Stand up and blow your horn.
Ta-Chi-Tsu-Te-To.
You do the next one!
Stood up. Ta-ta. Ta-ta. Took off.
The slug is slimy.
Na-Ni-Nu-Ne-No.
The culprit is...
...you!
Chose to go with Red 14, I see.
Hmm... Very well.
Now, what is going to happen? Next question!
Amazing.
Her presence on the stage is enough to alter the atmosphere.
At any rate, she seems completely different from before.
Like a different person from who she was a moment ago!
What a frightening child!
Noodle soup combo!
Fried rice combo!
Heavenly mountain combo!
Youth Ace!
Middle-aged Ace!
Retired Ace!
Held-back Ace!
Next year's Ace!
Consolation Ace!
Just can't stand 'im Ace!
Why aren't you trying your hardest!?
Bring it on!
I could see your actions coming from a mile away!
Looks like a child on the outside!
Unsure about the inside!
A strong defender of the city!
His name is Detective...
Stand back! Back! Back!
Can you not see the crest I wear!?
For I am...
...the Queen of France!
Don't hit anything strange!
Still too naive!
Hey, there!
We're the Ice Candies!
Yuki-chan!
Lookin' as sexy as ever!
Where do you think you're looking, sick freak?
I'll call the cops on you.
A low blow right off the bat?
I feel like I was just accused of being a molester on a packed train!
Reminds me. Already winter, huh.
Yes, winter!
Speaking of winter...
The baseball off-season.
That's a cool jab, Yuki-chan!
The World Baseball Classic is right around the corner!
I'm interested in the underdog players this year.
And we're completely in the dark! What a thrill!
Well, you know...
It's almost Christmas, yeah?
I'm hungry for some hot pot.
Yes.
Winter is all about the hot pot!
What do you put in your hot pot?
Let's see...
Cabbage, chicken, pork, onion ends, fermented soybeans, tofu...
Uh, what about you?
Brown bear.
Whoa!
You're a hunter!?
Those old tribal guys would run away crying from a bear!
But then I try becoming the bear and feel sorry for it, so I never actually eat any.
Then you could just not put any in the hot pot in the first place.
Then I'll be the bear from now on.
What? You will?
And you be the pot.
This is it!
The historical comedy...
Yo, Kyon.
What are you doing here?
Can't you tell?
Transporting goods.
Working hard, huh.
Probably following Suzumiya's orders again.
It would appear that half a year...
...was long enough for my classmates to recognize my position.
Are you going back to school now?
You really are working hard.
For real.
Later!
See you tomorrow!
Bah.
It's starting to drizzle.
The weather forecast said there was a ten percent chance of rain.
Worthless weatherman...
Let's pray it doesn't start pouring.
Oh?
Looks like rain.
I wonder if Kyon-kun's okay.
I have never longed to be in that room as badly as I do right now.
I want to get myself some of Asahina-san's tea as soon as possible...
...and warm my spirit and body.
Hey-hey!
Is Mikuru here?
Er... what?
It's just Nagato-chi?
I need her to trade off with me on cleaning tomorrow...
So I came to ask her...
Where's Mikuru?
So she's thataway.
Thankie!
Oh boy...
Ooh, ooh!
Were you on an errand, Kyon-kun?
Tsuruya-san.
Now I get it...
Get what?
Nothings!
Good work!
You're soaked.
Thanks.
See ya!
Just give the handkerchief to Mikuru when you return this.
As always...
...an unpredictable person.
Though she's a nice, sociable upperclassman.
Huh?
Nagato.
It's just you?
Where's everyone else?
Yes!
That's where you fall on your butt!
You've got it down!
Ow!
Your clumsiness will make them all swoon!
You sure that wasn't on purpose?
Koizumi-kun.
Hold this for a sec.
You do it like this.
Where and what are those three doing right now?
I'm a bit worried...
...but lugging that thing up the hill pretty much wore me out.
And the fact that I have to go back down after school doesn't help.
C'mon! C'mon! C'mon! C'mon! C'mon!
My hands are frozen.
I'm bushed.
It's just you?
What?
Got a problem with that?
Not really...
You didn't draw anything on my face, did you?
I wouldn't do something so childish!
Where are the other three?
They already went home.
It didn't look like you were waking up anytime soon.
And so...
...you opted to stay here instead?
I couldn't help it!
You were still asleep.
I can't leave without locking the door.
And...
...it's raining!
Give it back.
Huh?
My cardigan.
One of them definitely belongs to Haruhi.
But...
...who does this other one belong to?
Hey, wait.
Does this mean Asahina-san was changing right next to me while I was asleep?
Damn it.
Why did I fall asleep?
I should have faked it!
Come on.
Everyone left school a while ago.
We should get going.
But this sucks...
I don't have an umbrella.
One should be enough.
Hold it more towards me.
I'm getting wet.
It's already well on your side.
This isn't your umbrella.
It says "for faculty use" on here.
It's school property.
There's nothing wrong with a student using it.
Or what?
If you want to go home wet...
...I won't share it with you!
Honestly...
I picked up the heater for you...
...and not a word of appreciation...
...from our little brigade chief, huh?
Hold up!
