01x09 - Altair and Vega

[bunniefuu]

[cicadas chirping]

[reporter laughing]

[reporter] Well, now it's

time for the weather report.

We've been experiencing

a heat wave recently,

and it's gonna be

another extremely hot day

for many areas across the

Hokuriku region.

[cicadas chirping]

[Isaki sighs]

[Isaki] The sun is blazing.

These should dry in no time.

[cicadas chirping]

Uh

Ugh

[Haya] Hey, Isaki.

What's up?

Grab the remote for me.

Get it yourself.

Don't talk back to your sister.

Now follow your orders

like a good little servant.

[reporter] Be sure to

wear sunscreen and a hat

if you're venturing out

in that heat.

[opening theme]

[president] A training

camp to take photographs?

Yeah, we're gonna sh**t

pictures of the night sky

and then use them

to enter a contest.

[president] Cool.

A contest, huh?

Sounds great!

That would be a perfect

start to your club

if you get selected as a winner.

Yeah, thanks a lot.

I didn't know there were spots

for these kinds

of photos in Noto.

That's really awesome!

But we can't fund a camp.

Can you cover the

cost yourselves?

Ah. Cover it ourselves?

The Astronomy Club is

still in its infancy.

We can't fund you

without a track record.

Huh?

[whimsical music]

[president]

Th-that won't change anything!

I can't give you money

we don't have!

We're flat broke after

the Kuyo Festival in May!

It ate up our budget!

Hey, Ukegawa, you lock up, okay?

Okay.

[president sighs awkwardly]

[whimsical music continues]

[Ganta groans]

That's a real bummer.

Sorry, Ganta.

Ukegawa?

Huh?

Will you teach me how

to write a resume?

[Ukegawa] So are you

sure there aren't any spots

around here to snap

a good photograph?

[Ganta] It's not that there

aren't any good spots,

but after our viewing party

got rained out the other day,

I want to do the best

I can to get the shot.

And that means we need

to take a really

exceptional photograph

that can win a prize.

Fair enough.

[Ganta] "Reason for applying"?

What's a good answer for that?

Nah, don't worry.

You can write whatever.

Just make sure

you fudge the numbers

about how many days you

wanna work in a week.

[Ganta] Okay.

But honestly,

I think you should

just ask your dad

before you start applying

for part-time jobs.

He might be willing

to help you out.

Not an option.

I prefer not talking

to him about money.

[footsteps approach]

-[Isaki] You in here?

-Huh?

Why are you two

hiding out in here?

Forming a secret club?

[upbeat music]

Ganta is trying to get

-a part-time job.

-Oh yeah?

[Ganta] The school didn't

give us any money,

so we have to fund

our own training camp.

We're going to need

to raise 100,000 yen.

What? That much?!

Travel and lodging costs

for two people adds up.

That's about what it'll take

if we include a

food budget for us both.

Well, I still have some of

my new year's money saved up.

Not happening.

I can't ask you to

contribute any money to this

when you're in the

Swimming Club too.

But I

-All done.

-Ah, nice!

Looks awesome to me.

Now I just have the interview.

I hope I can pull it off.

It'll be a breeze! Trust me.

Welcome to your first

taste of working life.

[Ganta groans]

[Isaki sighs]

[refridgerator hums]

Ah

[Haya] Hey, Isaki.

Gimme some, too.

[Isaki] Here.

Ah, thank you!

I have a question.

What?

I know we always take the car

when we visit grandma

on summer vacation,

but do you think it's walkable

from the train station?

Wouldn't taking the bus

make more sense?

There's one that stops

nearby every two hours.

Why do you ask?

[Isaki grunts]

Just curious.

[whimsical music]

[crickets chirping]

[bike gears clicking]

[Twosie meows]

[whimsical music]

[shutters clanking]

[NAKAMI: RADIO BROADCAS

IS ABOUT TO BEGIN]

[Isaki] I'm headed to bed early.

[Haya] G'night.

[whimsical music]

All right.

I'm gonna record

some observations

using the school's

astronomical telescope.

It's connected to

special software.

So if I enter the star

I wanna look at,

the telescope moves into

position automatically.

[Twosie meows]

[Isaki chuckles]

I can hear Twosie with him.

[dome whirring]

[Ganta] Twosie looks

bewildered right now.

[Isaki chuckles]

I'm planning to

use the telescope

to look at the moon today.

You know, fiddling around

with equipment like this,

it's fun.

I've become fond of it.

[Isaki sighs contentedly]

Obviously, I still

can't sleep at night,

but lately I find myself

thinking a lot about cameras

and astrophotography,

like brainstorming

different methods to try

and other stuff like that.

So yeah, life is

pretty thrilling.

[gentle music]

I have an interview for

a part-time job tomorrow.

I hope they hire me.

But to be honest,

I have zero confidence.

-If you were in my shoes

-That's easy.

-"Just go for broke, of course."

-Go for broke, of course.

[Isaki gasps, shouts]

[thud]

[Ganta] is what

I'm betting you'd say.

[Isaki sighs]

Isaki, keep it down in here!

Sorry

[cicadas chirping]

[bell tolling]

It's over.

I failed.

Finding a job that will

pay you immediately is tough.

And besides, it's mostly

a matter of chance anyway.

You just experienced

some bad luck,

nothing to get depressed about.

Get 'em next time.

'Kay?

[Ganta] Being consoled like this

just makes me want to cry.

[cicadas chirping]

Yui, you there?

It's me, Ganta.

[CLOSED]

Maybe she's not here.

[door thumping]

[Ganta gasps]

[door creaking]

Yui, you here?

Hm?

[ambient music]

Is that Yui's shoe?

[Ganta sighs]

[Ganta gasps]

[ambient music]

[bell tolls]

God, she's dead!

Ugh.

I overslept

[lighthearted music]

Crap

I gotta open the shop.

I guess I'll come back later,

if you're busy.

You stay put, Ganta.

[cicadas chirping]

[engine rumbling]

I'm gonna go take

a bath real quick.

Huh? A bath.

Watch the arcade for me.

[cicadas chirping]

[Ganta sighs]

[lighthearted music]

Easy for her to say.

This place is a mess.

[groaning]

[bag rustles]

There we go.

[door creaking]

[Yui sighs]

Oh, welcome back.

Whoa. You cleaned up?

It needed it.

Well, it looks great.

Here. A little something.

Is this milk?

I went to the nearby

hot springs to get clean.

[Ganta] What a hippie.

[GAMING ARCADE]

[water flowing]

[Ganta] There was so much stuff

laying around the arcade today.

It's because we're going to

be holding an event here soon.

I was awake all night gearing

up for that, that's why.

Prep work is all a part

of the festivities for me.

What kind of arcade event is it?

It's really fun.

A bunch of adults who

are young at heart

and into video games stay

up super late playing them.

Oh man. Adults are lucky.

[Yui] Hmm? Did something happen?

Well actually,

I bombed an interview.

[Yui] For a job?

We need a lot of money

for our club activities

for over the summer.

Oh, that training camp thing?

For your secret

flirty time, sure.

Come on. It's not like that!

I was really struck by that

picture of the Mawaki Site,

so I wanted to try and take

one like it for myself.

Hmm.

Which is why I need

to earn money.

But

I bombed the interview.

[Yui] What's the problem?

I thought your family

was rich or whatever.

[Ganta] We're not rich.

Why would you think like that?

[Yui] Then how do you

explain having a parent

who gifts you fancy, high-end

cameras like it's nothing?

Back when I was in grade school,

I begged my dad for a

handheld game console,

but I figured that just saying

"I wanna play video games"

wouldn't really cut it.

So I told him that

I wanted to use

the console's camera function

to go around playing

photographer,

which is what ultimately led

to him gifting me the camera.

My dad is the type to take

things to the extreme.

He sounds silly.

[Ganta] I think it's

because he feels bad

about the fact that my

mother isn't around anymore.

And that guilt

drives him to respond

too excessively to my needs.

That's why I don't wanna

mention needing money to my dad.

Ah-huh.

[gentle piano music]

Here's an idea.

[water spattering]

Work part-time for me.

[Ganta gasps]

[piano music swells]

You mean it?!

Sure.

Perfect since I have no problem

working your butt off.

[Ganta laughs]

Thank you so much.

[Yui gurgling]

Ah!

Oh crap, I'm so sorry!

Let me grab you a

towel or something.

[footsteps running]

[water spraying]

[gentle piano music]

Sure is rough being a kid, huh?

[cicadas chirping]

[both chuckle]

[Ganta groans]

[both laughing]

Here to poke fun at me?

You look great in that apron.

Congratulations

on the new job!

[Ganta] Quit bothering me

and go home already.

[playful music]

[Yui snores lightly]

[group continues talking]

[Ukegawa] Come on, dude!

You gotta do this right!

[Isaki] Yeah, put on a smile!

[EPISODE 9: ALTAIR AND VEGA]

[whimsical music]

[cicadas chirping]

[group laughing]

Which one is it?

Let's see here.

[CHANGING ROOMS]

Ha! They have a sign

for it. This way!

[comical bouncy sound]

Ah! Oh my gosh!

I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!

Hey, how'd it feel?

Grown-ups are, like,

so grown up.

[Nono gasps]

[whimsical music]

[Kanikawa grunting]

Are you ready?

[group groaning]

Time for our first

summer as high-schoolers!

Eluding the beach boys

with style and grace!

Yeah

The changing room is where all

your shame gets left behind!

It's too embarrassing!

Don't run away from me!

[Isaki chuckles]

[soft piano music]

[bright music]

[cicadas chirping]

[Nono giggles]

I haven't been to this beach

since we were in

elementary school.

[Kanikawa laughing]

[group] Huh?

You've got the

girliest swimsuit.

Shut up!

[waves lapping]

[group laughing]

[Anamizu] Take this!

[Nono]

I found a pretty sea shell!

[beach ball thumps]

[Anamizu] Here it comes, Isaki!

[Isaki] Aw yeah, bring it on!

[group laughing]

They're just goofing around

like a bunch of little kids.

-Heads up!

-Watch it.

Don't get my hair wet!

You'll ruin it!

[Kanikawa screams]

[group laughing]

[Haida] Be careful, kids.

You're just asking

for a leg cramp

if you swim before warmup, duh.

Ah.

Hey, Haida. What are

you doing here?

I work part-time at

one of the seaside cafes.

I was hoping it would lead

to some exotic beach hookups,

but it's just my luck to

run into the usual riffraff.

We're here for the

same reason?

So gross.

[cicadas chirping]

[cicada chirping]

This is the kind of summer day

where staying home alone

almost feels like a crime.

Don't start that. You know

I have to go to work today.

[wings flapping]

[thud]

Ah.

[brakes screeching]

Dude, what's up?

A cicada just smashed

into my face.

Ah. Man, am I bleeding?

Hmm.

Come on, Ukegawa.

Am I injured or not?

To joke or not to joke.

Dude

[water flowing]

[both] Uh.

[Yui] Oh, hey.

Good job enduring the heat

to make it all the way here.

Nice setup, Yui.

Looks chill.

And it's for me only.

[lighthearted music]

[Ganta grunts]

Yui, would you

please quit walking

around in your swimsuit?

You're dripping everywhere.

[lighthearted music]

[Kanikawa sighs]

[inaudible]

[Nono] "Graah, graah"

The sound of a malicious

voice filled the air.

And that's the moment when

the guy finally realized,

where the cat was staring was

none other than

the entrance to where his

grandmother had died years ago.

Quit telling ghost stories

on the beach!

Quit doing sit ups!

[Anamizu grunting]

[POOP]

Quit doodling in the sand!

Ah, this sucks!

Nothing's going like

how I imagined it would!

Well, the three of us

are having plenty of fun.

You should just give up

on meeting any guys today.

Nuh-uh! Come on, Isaki!

You wanna stroll the beach

with a boy, don't you?

[Isaki gulps]

Well, to be honest.

[Haida] Yo!

[ICE]

[Kanikawa] Buzz off! Everybody's

gonna think we're taken

if you keep hanging around!

Whoa. Kani, chill.

-Here.

-What's with the shaved ice?

We didn't order anything.

It's a gift from

these gentlemen yonder.

[group] Hmm

[panel clanking]

[Ganta sighs]

[Yui] How's prep for the

training camp coming along?

[Ganta]

We've picked out the spots

where we want to photograph,

but I haven't made

a schedule yet.

[Yui] How far are

you planning to go?

[Ganta]

Out to Mitsukejima Island

and the Rokkosaki Lighthouse.

And then finally

to the Mawaki Site.

[Yui] That's awfully ambitious.

Ganta's enthusiasm

has no bounds.

In any case,

I think it would be good

if you seriously considered

what's feasible and what's not,

especially with your

budgetary restraints.

Does it really cost

that much money?

Those places are far.

Taking trains and buses to get

there is tougher than you think.

Not to mention you'll be doing

long-exposure photography,

which means you'll need to

prepare a fair amount

of equipment, and you're

even starting from scratch

without camping gear, right?

[Ganta sighs]

Aw man.

Not having funding from the

school really hurt, huh?

I'll write up a list of all the

things you'll probably need.

You can use that to

recalculate the budget

during your break, okay?

[Ganta groans]

[bass guitar music]

[Ganta groans]

[Ganta] Travel costs, lodging

costs, camping gear costs,

and the photography

equipment on top of that.

We don't have anywhere near

enough money to cover it.

Ah!

Guess we'll just have

to cut down the number

of places we visit.

[bass guitar music]

[footsteps]

Hm?

Ah.

[bright music]

[Ganta gasps]

Wait, what are you

doing here, Isaki?

I decided to swing by

on the way home

after hanging out

with my friends.

Did you guys go to

the beach or something?

Huh? You can tell?

Do I smell?

No, no. It's just that

your face is all red.

So, get this.

While we were at

the beach today

for the first time ever

I actually

got hit on.

Huh?

Huh?!

[hand slams]

HUH?!

[Isaki chuckles]

[Isaki laughing]

[Ganta sighs]

[Ganta] By grade schoolers?

I guess they must have thought

I looked a lot younger

than my age.

Uh-huh. Sure.

How about that?

Wow.

So, you've been planning

for the training camp?

-Yep.

-Going well?

Nope.

We're severely lacking in funds.

I underestimated the cost.

We'll have to give up

on some of the spots

we wanted to visit and

reduce the number of days.

Look here.

My grandma's house is actually

right in the middle of Noto.

I asked my parents and they

said it's empty right now

since my grandma's gone

to a nursing home.

So they gave me special

permission to use it

for our training camp.

And it'll be available

all summer!

So we can cut costs

on travel and lodging,

and that'll save us

a ton of money!

Then for the food budget,

we can save even more money

by going to the supermarket

and doing our own cooking!

[relaxing music]

[Ganta inhales]

[Ganta grunts]

This will work!

Now we can go

to all the places we wanted!

[Isaki giggles]

[relaxing music]

Huh?

[Isaki giggles]

[sing-songy]

Training camp is happening!

It will be so fun!

[Ganta laughing]

[both] Training camp

is happening!

Come on, everyone!

[both laughing]

Where's our final destination?

I have a place in mind

that will be perfect.

[upbeat music]

The Mawaki Site.

It's the place where Yui took

that picture hanging there.

I want to go and take an

amazing photo just like it.

Okay, so that's going to be the

finish line for our big trip.

[Ganta] Yep.

[upbeat music ends]

Man, it's hot.

I need a cold drink.

Huh?

Not cool, Sis!

You only left a tiny bit

of barley tea!

[Haya] What about it?

You know that whoever finishes

it has to make a new batch!

Guess that means you, then.

Jerk.

[Haya] Oh, by the way.

Huh?

I heard you're doing

training camp this summer.

Yeah

Well, I'm gonna be tagging

along with you, okay?

Should be fun.

Huh?

Uhh

[screaming]

WHAT?!

[ending theme]
