It's raining again.

The weather report said that the
rainy season will end today too...

An umbrella! I... didn't bring one...

Hey, Nishikata.

Y-yes? Takagi-san...?

Is something wrong?

N-nothing.

It's raining again, huh?

Good thing,

I brought a folding umbrella just in case.

How about you, Nishikata?

Did you bring one?

Um...

You didn't, huh?

I-it's fine.

It might stop in the afternoon, after all.

And if it doesn't?

Th-then...

Then?

H-hold on...

T-Takagi-san...!

Y-you're too close!

Nishikata,

What is this?

Th-this is...

A symbol for sharing an umbrella!

D-does that mean...

Takagi-san...

...is inviting me
to share an umbrella with her?!

What do I do?

I... I'm aiming for perfect attendance...

[Goals until Graduation!]
I... I'm aiming for perfect attendance...

I want to avoid the risk of

[Stay healthy, don't take a day off.]
catching a cold from the rain!

[Graduate with perfect attendance award!
- Nishikata]

M-maybe I should just be honest
and accept her offer...!

Takagi-san, um...

Th-the umbrella...

The answer is: a fish skeleton.

That's what it was.

Huh? Nishikata,

what did you think it was?

The rain let up, huh?

Yeah...

Too bad.

I wanted to share an umbrella
with you again too.

She really did just wanted to
tease me about sharing an umbrella!

Good for you, isn't it?

That the weather cleared up.

You said that when we go home,

you wanted a detour so that
we can have a match, after all.

We can't play Guriko while
sharing an umbrella, after all.

Yeah...

So...

Let's go home together?

Yeah.

Nishikata...

Summer.

It has started, huh?

[Teasing Master Takagi-san - Movie]

Casting short shadows,

a flock of birds frolicked about.

Chasing and overtaking each other,

as if they're mimicking us two.

As if heralding the start of summer,

the lights reflecting off the waves

lights up the sky.

Even an ordinary day

sparkles ever so brilliantly.

Countless promises were made

under the summer sun.

Making tomorrow shine
so blindingly bright.

Summer is still just starting.

I pray it will continue on.

Summer is still just starting.

Ch-o-co-la-t-e!

Scissors-paper-stone!

Gu-ri-ko!

Just one more win till I reach the goal.

It's the same for me too, Takagi-san.

But I never expected you'd only
play scissors and nothing else.

How do you like that, Takagi-san?

This brilliant plan of mine...

To win against scissors,

Takagi-san can only use stone,
which gives a small number of steps.

Compared to the three steps
Takagi-san gets,

I get six steps!

Even if I win only one in three,
I'd still overtake her!

If Takagi-san had kept
playing stone, she would've won...

But in fact...

Suspecting I might suddenly
mix it up with stone or paper,

she hesitated and got fooled by me!

How pitiful, Takagi-san!

With this amazing psychological attack,

your nerves must be rattled!

Thanks to that, it was
really easy to adjust our pace.

Hey, since the winner
will be decided on next turn,

how about deciding on a punishment?

O-okay...

You're right...

Adjust, you said?

Excuses.

You're just pretending you
were not trapped my plan!

That's right!

It's all just excuses!

Then, if the loser loses with 'paper',
the loser will buy a drink for the winner.

If the loser lose with 'stone',
the loser will get their forehead flicked.

How about that?

Okay, I'm fine with it.

And then...

If the loser lose with 'scissors'?

The loser will have to kiss.

Okay, let's start then.

Scissors, paper, stone...

What should I do?

If I use 'scissors' here,

wouldn't it look like I want to kiss?!

But I've been using 'scissors'
all this time!

I can't change all of a sud...!

No, but...

But!!

Crap!!

Oh, I won, huh?

Ch-o-co-la-t-e!

That was close, huh?

I get it now.

I thought I was having a fair match but...

In the end, I'm just being played around!

Well then, let's go and get drinks!

Okay...

Here.

Thank you.

Stupid Takagi-san...!

Let's do it again sometime.

Yeah.

Next time, I'll definitely...!

Then next time,
if the winner wins with scissors,

the winner will have to kiss, okay?

Stupid Takagi-san!!

The amount of push-ups for the day is

the number of times I got teased times 3!

I got teased a lot again today too!

Also, the savings-from-teasing
I started recently

is starting to strain my finances.

But!!

This is the punishment to myself for
letting Takagi-san do as she pleases.

It's needed so I would work
harder to win next time!

My dinosaur piggy bank
is cheering me on too.

Next time,
if the winner win with scissors,

winner will have to kiss, okay?

T-this is also count as being teased
from memory!

Another three push-ups!

One!

Two!

Three!

Okay!

For the next one, look at the camera.

Okay. Like this?

Looks good! Looks good!

What are you guys doing on my desk?

We've been given in charge to
take photos for graduation album.

So, we're taking sh*ts
of our daily class activities.

Yeah, my daily activities from
Nakai's desk point of view.

Nishikata and Nakai,
you guys take a look too.

Who the hell is that?

It's me, can't you tell?

Takao adjusted it a bit with an app.

It looks totally fake!

Hey, take a look at the other ones too!

Look, look!

Good grief...

How would you call this daily activities?

I look super weird here!

It looks like paranormal photography.

Sorry sorry. I'll crop it out later.

Nishikata-shan,
I'll edit it nicely in return.

Editing isn't allowed!

Takao and Kimura, you listen to me.

The photos that you take will forever

- Nakai-kun, got a moment?
- The photos that you take will forever

- Nakai-kun, got a moment?
- be left in the graduation album.

- What is it?
- be left in the graduation album.

There's something I wanna tell you.

Recording the fleeting moments in time
that people can reflect on in the future;

That's the duty of
graduation album photographers.

Do it properly.

Yes, we're sorry about that, sir.

No fair!

Hey, wait for me!

You over there. No running.

Nishikata.

Nishikata.

What's wrong, Takagi-san?

You were zoning out,
so I was wondering if you're okay.

I wasn't zoning out at all.

Anyway...

Takagi-san, why don't we have a match?

Sure, what kind of match?

Voila! A hold-your-breath match!

The rules are simple.

The one who can stay the longest
in the water wins.

Sounds fun.

Yes!

In actual fact...

I've been training to hold
my breath for some time now!

Okay, I will go in the water first.

Takagi-san, you can count for me.

I will count when it's your turn.

But, I don't think that will be fair.

Eh?

I mean, you could count very slowly
when it's my turn and win that way.

That's why let's go in together
on a countdown.

The one who surfaces
from the pool first loses.

What do you think?

I see.

In that case, let me first say this:

No making weird faces in the water
to make the other laugh, okay?

Sure.

Okay!

This way, there's no blind spots!

I won't let Takagi-san always tease me
through all of middle school!

Today, I'll definitely win!

Okay!

One, two...

Nishikata, are you okay?

It's because Takagi-san
said something weird!

Something weird? Like?

Well, that's... um...

My body was floating up.

So, I was trying to say,
I'm floating, "above you."

Did you, by any chance,
got the wrong idea?

I didn't!

I didn't at all!

Then, it's my win this time, right?

Yes...

Everyone, it's time!

Get out of the pool.

This is the last
pool activity for this year...

There will be more in high school.

You're right,
but it'll be in a different pool.

Hey, do you think the pools
in high school would be bigger?

Do you think it would be deeper too?

Way way more...

Stop it, Mina! I don't want to listen.

You should try to learn
how to swim for real though.

I wouldn't be in pain
if I could learn just like that.

I want to go to a high school
where there's no pool activities.

Eh? Is there one?

There should be at least one somewhere.

But...

In the end,
I'll be going to the same high school,

and spend normal life
on the same island as you girls.

Yukari-chan! Sanae-chan!

Let's be friends like this
forever and ever!

I-if you insist.

Yukari-chan!

What?

Yukari-chan!!

What?!

Mano-chan.

Yes?

Did something good happen?

Eh?

You looked happy.

Yeah...

Do you know, about the rumor?

You know, about the fireflies.

Get a grip, man.

You're sighing every 5 seconds.

What's wrong?

Nishikata!

Listen to this, Nishikata!

I asked Hojo out to spend time together
at the beach for summer vacation.

And she said...

I can't.

Right...

I'll be at Canada during summer vacation.

It's for summer school, so I can't.

There's stuff like that too?

Even though it's your last summer
for middle school?

Isn't that amazing?

I only get to leave the island
once in a blue moon.

Yet she's gonna head out
and find love out there somewhere...

Hi~ Whatcha name?

I'm Hojo~

Oh! I love you! C'mon~♥

Oh yes~♥

Takao, cut it out.

Isn't it true though?

Calm down, Hamaguchi.

But something good happened too, right?

Yeah, that's right!

Hojo's going shopping
to prep for summer school,

and she asked me to come with her.

Well, it's just helping her
carry stuff, though.

Nice, isn't that great?

Crap.

I'm on duty for the local
Mushiokuri Festival that day.

I'd like to help,

but I'm going with my family
to a yakiniku place that day. Sorry.

There's an online game event
that day. Sorry.

Nishikata, are you free this Saturday...?

Sure.

I don't have any plans.

Nishikata! Thanks a lot!

My summer will be over
with just that one day.

But you still have
your last summer with Takagi-san.

Treasure it, okay?

W-what are you talking about?

In the end, you didn't confess to her
during White Day too, right?

I... wasn't really...

- Hey, Takagi-san.
- Hey, Nishikata.

Ah, w-what is it?
You go first, Takagi-san.

Nishikata,
have you seen fireflies yet this year?

F-fireflies...?

W-well, let alone this year...

I haven't seen any for a few years now.

I've seen them with my parents
when I was young.

Me too.

So, you haven't, huh?

Why are you asking?

I was just thinking of seeing it
together with you.

What about you, Nishikata?

What were you trying to say before?

That's... Uh, I... Um... Uh...

What was it...? I forgot...

Nishikata, your face is red.

I-it's not red!

It's because of the sunset.

But you still have
your last summer with Takagi-san.

Treasure it, okay?

I was just thinking of seeing it
together with you.

In the end, you didn't confess to her
during White Day too, right?

I... wasn't really...

Why don't you try taking her
to see Mushiokuri Festival?

Did you know? That rumor?

You know, about the fireflies.

If you saw your first fireflies that year

with the person you like,

you'll be bonded together forever.

That does sound familiar.

Did you go together with Nakai-kun?

Yeah. We did.

Then after that,

He asked me out to a movie
which I wanted to see.

Takagi-chan should go see
them with Nishikata-kun too!

I mean, aren't you worried?

At high school, and even beyond that.

Will your relationship continue?

[Takagi-san,
wanna go to Mushiokuri together?]

[We might be able to see fireflies.]

I ended up sending it...

No! I only invited Takagi-san because
she said she wanted to see fireflies!

But... she might have plans, so...

[Takagi-san]

Takagi-sa...

Let's go!

To Mushiokuri. Together.

U-um, I...

I'm only inviting you because
you said you wanted to see fireflies...

Yeah.

There's really no
deep meaning behind it...

Yeah.

Are you by any chance teasing me?

No, I'm really happy.

I-I'll update you regarding time
and place for the meet up.

Yeah.

Then... Later.

Later.

Thank you.

Likewise.

This way, please!

Let's go!

Yeah.

Here.

Okay.

Here you go.

Thank you.

No, I don't wanna!!

I wanna go home!

Hey, what's wrong?

I don't wanna!

I'm so sorry.

N-no, it's okay.

Please wait a moment.

Why don't you want to?

It's s-scary...

Monsters will be there.

That's what everyone said.

Monsters?

You mean, Kaboso?

Do you know about it?

Yeah, I do.

Kaboso appears
when people gather like tonight,

they love to mimic human voices
and prank people,

but you know,

in fact...

They have a really kind and good side too.

But, but...

Isn't he fuzzy and has big eyes

and has super, super sharp fangs too?

And goes 'Grrrrr, grrrr!'

T-that's a bit exaggerated...

Oh, that's right!

To tell you the truth, I'm actually...

Friends with that monster!

I'll tell him not to scare you,
so don't worry.

Really?

Yeah.

Can you pinky swear?

Yeah.

If you lie,
you'll swallow a thousand needles~

And also you'll get stomped by elephant,

and also get chased by bear,

and also by a tiger and lion!

I-isn't that enough already?

Okay, pinky swear!

Bye-bye!

Bye-bye!

So, that's how it is, huh?

I had no idea.

That you were friends with monsters,
Nishikata.

You saw me?

That just now was because...

But you were pretty cool.

Just like a nice daddy.

Well then, later.

- Daddy!?
- Well then, later.

We can go back after I say hello,
so wait a while, okay?

Yeah.

Aoki-san!

Oh!

Um, is it okay if...

Thank you. You helped out a lot.

Is she your 'this'?

N-no! It's not like that!

It's great to be young!

I went to Mushiokuri with granny
a few decades ago too.

Like I said, it's not like that!

We're just going to see fireflies
together!

Fireflies?

It's so pretty.

Yeah.

Um, Takagi-san.

Why did you want to go
see fireflies together?

I feel like my wish
will get granted if I see them.

Like a sh**ting star?

Something like that.

Sorry. I heard a while ago that...

Fireflies won't be around much
during Mushiokuri.

Yeah.

Don't tell me, you knew?

Yeah.

But, I thought if it's with Nishikata,
I'd be able to find some.

I-I'll try to find some on this side.

Can you try to search the opposite side,
Takagi-san?

[Oliver the Bus Stop-per]

Thanks for today.

Let's search for them next year too.

The fireflies.

Yeah.

We'll be high-schoolers then, right?

It somehow feels so surreal.

For me too.

It's here.

Yeah.

Starting tomorrow will be summer break.

But just because it's the summer break,

- The summer break starts tomorrow...
- don't waste it and use it properly

- Starting tomorrow...
- for the final year of middle school.

Got that, everyone?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Hey, everyone! Let's take a photo
before summer vacation starts!

Please gather in front of the blackboard!

Three, two, one!

[3rd year, Class 2 - Starting Summer Vacation~]

Yukari-chan,

Do you have time?

This is bad.

Sanae-chan said that
once she enters high school,

she's going to start
focusing on track and field.

That's quite something.

So, what's the problem here?

Well that's because...!

She's thinking of going to a high school
in the cities for it.

Us three...

I thought we'd always stay together,

but will that change too?

It will, sooner or later.

It'll be weird to stay the same
even after 50 years or so too.

Well, that's true, but...

Hey, Nishikata.

What are you thinking?

"I won't be able to see her
after tomorrow~"

or something?

Bullseye!

I was thinking about it too.

A reason to meet you during summer break.

It'll be weird to meet and learn
how to ride a bike together again.

And studying in the library is nice,
but we won't be able to talk.

U-um, Takagi-san. It's okay not to
force out a reason or anything...

I see!

We'll just become the sort of people
who don't need a reason to meet up, right?

The sort of people
who don't need a reason to meet?

Does she mean that we'd be...

G-g-going ou...

For example...

F-f-for example...?

Why don't we do radio exercise
every morning?

What's that even...?

So cute!

So soft!

A cat that doesn't run away
from Nishikata?

That's so rare.

You're such a good kitty!

There, there.

So cute!!!

There, there.

Where's the cat mom?

Meow! Meow!

Cat mommy!

Hey, mommy! Where are you?

Please come out.

Heeey!

She's not around, huh?

Were they separated somehow...?

It's still so small too.

You got stranded alone?

I wish I could keep it at home...

But my mom has a cat allergy.

My dad too...

He got scratched by a cat when
he was young, so he can't stand cats.

Takagi-san!

Let's try to find owners
for this kitten together!

Yeah!

Until we find an owner, I'll take care
of the kitten here everyday!

Me too!

Come on. That tickles, y'know?

Could it be hungry?

That's true.

Takagi-san!

There's a place that I want to go
after going back to my house.

[Pet Shop - beans]

Hey! There are customers coming in!

Okay!

Welcome!

Um... Can we come in?

Manager Ohta!
It's been years since we had a customer!

Hey, stop that!

Sorry for the bad joke.

Come on in.

Come in. Come in.

Okay.

Um, we found it in the shrine just now.

It seems like it's hungry, so...

This the first time
we've seen a kitten this small.

So we didn't know what to feed it.

So we brought it here,
hoping you could help.

I see.

Could you let me take a look for a bit?

Ah, sure.

Such a good kitty.

So cute!

Ah, it's a girl.

Hey! Don't eat that!

Stop that!

Sorry for the really bad jokes.

Sorry for the really bad jokes!

Katsuo, keep quiet for a bit, will you?

Ah, I'm Katsuo. Nice to meet you.

Meow~

Looking at her teeth,
she should be around one month old.

One month...

She's a bit scrawny,
but she's healthy, so it's fine.

Female kittens tends to be
a bit smaller in general.

So she's healthy!

No worries!

She should be able to eat normal food
at this point,

But first, milk.

This is milk made for kittens.

Is normal cow milk not okay?

Nope!

When they're young,

they can't digest it properly,
so it'll damage their tummy

Here you go. It's delicious!

She really was hungry.

Yeah! I'm so relieved.

She looks like she's enjoying it.

Delicious! Delicious!

With this and this, there we go.

The total will be 2300 yen.

Here.

I never thought my savings-from-teasing
would come in handy here.

"Savings-from-teasing"?

Crap! I said that out loud!

So your name is
Savings-from-teasing-kun, huh?

It's Nishikata!!

If there's anything wrong with her,
bring her straight here, okay?

I'll introduce you to the vet
who can see her right away.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Come and play again sometime.

Sheesh...

Yukari-chan! Sanae-chan!

Ta-da!



Come, come!

What do you want to do?

You really want a hundred?

Of course!

If we don't hurry,

our once-in-a-lifetime middle school
summer is gonna end, y'know!

Hey! Hey hey!

Come on, come on!

Watermelon.

Watermelon seeds.

I wanna spit them.

I want to win the ice cream lottery.

That's good, that's good!

But you can do more extreme stuff
during this summer!

I want to find a cicada's
empty cast-off skin,

and make it into a brooch.

Yeah!

Come on! Yukari-chan too!

Me?

That's right!

Well, okay.

For me... maybe like, falling in love?

Or like, having talks about love?

Like the three of us
staying overnight together,

and talking about love till morning?

That would really feel like youth!

I would really like that!

I want to make a knot
with Somen inside my mouth.

Good, good!

I want to eat takoyaki while looking at the stars.

- Hey, don't ignore me!
- I want to eat takoyaki while looking at the stars.

Sorry about this.

Until we find a real home for you,

this will be your home.

Are you okay?

Good kitty.

I see. You like it, huh Shiro?

Shiro?

Shiro.

So, that's her name?

That's right.
Since she's all-white, so Shiro!

That's what he said, Shiro-chan.

No response, huh?

That's right!
Takagi-san, let's have a match!

A naming match!

Think of a name,
then try calling her with it.

If she 'mew' backs, you win.

Sure.

She's always purring, so Goro?

But Goro sounds like a boy's name.

Since she's mewing all the time,
it could be Mew?

But she'll be 'meowing'
once she gets older.

I thought of something great!

Good job, me! Victory is mine!

Takagi-san, I thought of something.

Oh, so fast.

Then please go on ahead.

Yuki!

Yuki?

Yuki as in, snowfall?

Um... yeah...

It's a nice name. It's cute too.

But...

She's not responding, huh?

Why...?

Snow is white and pretty,

so I thought it fits you perfectly
and gave you that name.

It can't be helped, Nishikata.

She was just born a month ago.

So she hasn't seen nor heard of snow.

Right?

I see...

You haven't seen snow before, huh?

Once winter comes,

I wonder how big you'll get once
you see snow for the first time.

Alright, next is my turn, okay?

Mew.

Takagi-san!
That's the name I scratched out!

Mew-chan.

Mew.

Mew-chan.

- Hey...
- Mew.

Mew-chan.

Stop that, Takagi-san.

If you keep calling,
she'll reply sooner of later.

But wait, Takagi-san.

Are you calling her Mew because she mews?

Yeah, that's right.

But Takagi-san,

only kittens mew.

Once she grows up, she'll go...

"Meow!"

or something.

So are you sure about that name?

Yeah.

I want to remember the times
where she mews all the time, you see.

Yuki!

Hey, hey. You scared me there
with you zooming off like that.

It's nice that you're energetic,

but it'll be dangerous if you
jump out to a road or something.

You hear that?

You really like the flowers, huh?

Hana!

Because she likes the flowers,
her name's Hana!

- Hana!
- Hana!

- Hana!
- Hana!

- Hana!
- Hana!

Hana! That tickles!

Hana!

Takagi-san, good morning!

Morning, Nishikata.

How's Hana?

She drank milk and went potty.

She just fell asleep.

Ah, sorry.

I see, I see.

When I got here,
she stayed in her house properly too.

I see, I see.

You're such a good girl, Hana.

Hana.

Hana-chan!

Hana?

Hana-chan.

Hana!

Oh right, Takagi-san!

This!

Let's make a flyer
to find a forever home for her!

We'll put it up at a bunch of places,

and give it to stores
and vet to put them up too!

Did I say something weird?

No.

It's just that...

I was just thinking that we think alike.

A-anyone would thought of it,

the flyer...

Let's make one together.

[Name: Hana]

[Foster Owner Wanted]

[Photo]

The Hamabo flowers,

are swaying to-and fro gently.

The lively and beautiful colors,

lined the usual path we walk.

Just right behind you,

I play a little hide-and-seek

"I'll be found out in no time."

That's how I feel, you see.

In the midst of a sunny spot,

we will always be...

Chasing each other, and rolling around.

During those days
that glitter like marbles.

At the end of that gentle slope,

I wonder what lies there?

Spread out the metaphor.

Widely, like a treasure map.

Where's the treasure?

Let's search for it together.

Like the sunlight through the trees,

it's something that cannot be grasped.

We chased each other,
and rolled all around.

Under a sky
that reflects the colors of marbles.

Enclosing all of it completely,

all of our summer memories.

You're amazing, Hana.

You're so skilled.

Did anyone reply, Nishikata?

No, not yet.

I see.

I guess it's so not easy
to find a foster owner, but...

I'm sure it'll turn out fine!

Hana's cute after all.

Right, Hana?

During the days I spent with you,

for some reason the clock is...

like it's broken, and the time stopped...

At the end of that gentle slope,

until we reach that point,

we won't change at all.

And we'll continue to play around freely.

We chased each other,
and rolled all around.

In a scenery
that reflects the colors of marbles.

Enclosing all of it completely,

so that we'll always remember it.

So that we'll always remember it.

Hana, let's have a match!

With this whack-a-mole!

You made something amazing again.

Well, yeah.

If Hana couldn't whack it
under a minute, I win.

If Hana can whack it even a single time,
Hana wins.

I'll give you a special treat.

Treat me to a drink too.

Sure!

But wait!
Why are you in this too, Takagi-san?

Yay! He said he would treat us.

Do your best, Hana!

Just you watch, Hana and Takagi-san!

Okay, here we go!

How's my nimble whack-a-mole technique!?

But... Hana's so cute~!

It's not Mole, huh?

You're pointing that out?

Whatever, this match is as good as mine!

This Nishikata's so cute!

You're amazing, Hana!

Another match!

It's going to be two treats
and drinks now.

Stupid Hana and Takagi-san!

Hey, Nishikata.

I think I'll try asking one more time.

If I could keep Hana in my house.

Yeah!

I think that'll be great!

Then this way,
we can be together with Hana forever!

Yeah!

But... Can I come and visit?

Visit me?

N-no! Of course not!

For Hana, obviously!

That's a bummer.

Nishikata said he doesn't want to see me.

I'm not saying that too!

Argh, sheesh!

It's been a while
since I played with bubbles.

Yeah.

So, what're we doing next?

Eh?

Let's stop here.

Why?

You started this, didn't you?

Yeah, but...

You should finish what you've started.

As expected of sporty type.

I mean...

If we finish all 100 of them,

our last middle school
summer will be over.

I don't want it to end.

I want it to continue forever and ever.

I wonder how Hana-chan's doing.

Ohta-san!

- Hello!
- Hello!

Hey there!

Is Hana doing okay?

Doing okay?

Yes, very!

Actually, thanks to everyone,

I will be able to keep her
in my house now.

I wanted Ohta-san to be the first to know.

Katsuo-san too...

Congratulations!!

Hey, hey!
Your voice was like a b*mb exploding!

Sorry! I was so happy, I didn't realize.

I was really worried!

I was just thinking it's about time
Hana-chan found a forever home.

Good for you.

Yeah!

Then as a congratulation gift from me:

Pick any one as a present for her!

Thank you so much!

Which do you think will suit her?

Yeah, let's see.

Everything suits Hana, but...

The one that will fit her the most
will be...

Let's see...

Hey, this one!

It's just like the flower that Hana likes!

Right?

Hana's gonna be so happy!

Yeah!

What a nice husband and wife.

Hana!

We got you a present!

Hana!

Hana?

She's probably chasing butterflies again.

- Hana!
- Hana!

Sheesh...

You'll need to behave after you
become a member of Takagi-san's household.

Hana!

Hana!

Hana!

Hana!

Hana!

Hana!

Hana!

Hana!

Hana!

Hana!

Hana!

Hana!

Did she go out for a walk?

What if she suddenly
jump out onto a road...

I'll go down
and look around the meet-up spot.

I'll go up
and take a look around the slope.

Mommy, look look!

What is it?

Big brother found a kitten!

Oh my.

It was around the stairs at the shrine.

So cute!

Can we keep it?

We can, right?

I'll go and talk...

This kitten looks exactly like
Nana who became one of the stars!

So white and so soft!

The round eyes look exactly the same too.

Yeah, it does look exactly like her.

I'm sure this is Nana-chan
coming back to us.

I'm sure of it!

Isn't that right, Nana-chan?

See?

I knew it!

Welcome back, Nana-chan!

Nana!

Yeah. You're right.

We'll be together again.

I'm glad we still keep Nana-chan's toys.

Let's play again, Nana.

Let's be together forever and ever, Nana!

I'm glad.

She...

Looked really happy, right?

I'm sure... She'll...

Be happy, forever and ever, right?

Yeah.

Hana will be happy. Definitely.

Takagi san will be happy too.

Takagi-san will become happy.

I'll make Takagi-san happy.

Definitely.

Forever, and ever.

Scissors-paper-stone!

Pi-ne-a-pp-le!

Scissors-paper...

Miisuke!

Scissors-paper-stone!

Today isn't scissors, but paper plan, huh?

Well, yeah.

It's been a year, our lovely couple!

Don't get separated this year!

Okay...

Your face is red like the apple!

I'm relieved. She looks okay.

What's wrong?

Ah, sorry.

Sanae, you aren't moving to the city?

Yeah.

But you said that you're gonna
focus on track and field.

I was advised to do so,

but I can focus on it from a
high school in this island too.

I'm so glad!

Sheesh...

Giving us false alarms like that...

We'll be together from now on too!

We can do 100 stuff, 1000 stuff, or even


Uh... maybe that's too much...

Okay! Let's start with ring tossing!

Here, good luck throwing.

Take that!

Nice!

Alright! One more!

Wait, you're taking it seriously now?

Yeah, we got into it.

Okay! Let's take photos
of the fireworks next!

There's a special spot just down this way!

Takao.

Up. We're going up.

We'll be taking the photo from up there.

Right?

Yeah.

You're right.

Let's go!

Yeah!

Let's check it out.

Yeah.

They were right.

This is a special spot.

Yeah.

Hey, Nishikata.

I'll make you happy too, Nishikata.

Yeah.

You're always like that.

So innocent and pure.

Something trivial became the spark,

and you got hurt, didn't you?

The conversation was cut,
it feels so empty.

Words are so clumsy and useless.

It always gets in the way.

Even though I love you,

I can't convey it.

This feeling is so depressing.

"I love you", and words like that,

I'm not used to saying them.

But now, I can say them,

if it's for your sake.

If you're by my side,

laughing and smiling,

then I don't need anything else at all.

Ever since we met,

everything began for me.

There are days
where I encounter sadness too, but...

"I want to be with you."

was what's going through my mind.

Let's walk towards
the unknown tomorrow together.

With all my strength,

I tried to stand tall.

Trying my best to act
as normal as possible.

Even though I'm at my limits,

I still tried to put on a smile.

On the nights we can't see each other,

Loneliness come attacking.

Because I love you, I became uneasy.

This kind of feeling is so depressing.

"I'll protect you",

what I said at that time,

and my hesitation within me too,

all of those wasn't a lie.

But still, I believed

in my desire to do it.

To prevent you from breaking,
I want to hold on to you tight.

I love you so, so much.

I'm really, really happy.

So even if, from now on,
we have bad times ahead,

I'll hold your hands tight,
and never let go.

Ever since we met,

everything began for me.

There are days
where I encounter sadness too, but...

"I want to be with you."

was what's going through my mind.

Let's walk towards
the unknown tomorrow together.

Light it up! Light it up!

Hey! Let's go to that line
over there with those kids!

Wait, wait.

With those kids? Chi.

The light went out.

Then, let's catch up and have
them light the torch back.

Mom? Chi?

It's fireflies!

Aren't they beautiful?

Huh? Where are they? Hey!

What is it?

I heard someone call 'Chi-chan!'
to me a while ago.

Ah, it might be the monster Kaboso-san.

Um... That's...

It's Kaboso! It's Kaboso!

Daddy, are you scared?

N-no, I'm not scared.

Kaboso is... my friend after all.

- Really?
- Really?

Sheesh!

Why are you teasing me again!?

I wonder if she's behaving well at home?

We're home!
