01x04 - Summer Night Vibes

[bunniefuu]

Where should we go this summer?

I want to go to a summer festival
with Tani-kun!

The fireworks festival in the next town?

I do want to see fireworks,

but I feel like
there will be a lot of people.

Maybe we should go
to the community summer festival

on the same day instead.

Are you going to wear a yukata?

Tani-kun in a yukata?!

I want to see it,
but I don't want anyone else to see it.

No, I'm talking about you.

First, I need to invite Tani-kun.

First, you need to pass your final exams.

THE YUAN DYNASTY'S EXPEDITIONS TO JAPAN

Okay, what we learned today
will be on the exam.

Everyone has a sixth sense…

A certain starlight
that destroys the child's heart…

The four endings other than death…

The final exams…

The only one
who still remembers its existence

is me right now.
- The Exam Devil is still alive.

Do you know
the correct pronunciation of Bibinba

is actually Pibinpa?

Don't run away from reality!

Do you know?

Don't get Tani-kun involved.

How did you pronounce it before?

Bibinba.

Hmph!

See?
- See what?

I heard "pa" means rice in Korean.

So "Pibinpa" is closer to the original.

I get it already.

So please face reality.

What? There's still a long time
until the exam period, right?

It'll be fine!

Those who can't let their guard down

are letting their guard down.

Don't come asking to copy my notes
right before the exam again!

Huh?

What do you mean, "Huh"?

If you're going to copy, do it now!

Seriously, let's have a study group today!

By the way, where's Taira?

I think he said
he has a part-time internship.

Tani-kun, do you want
to join the study group?

No.

I see.

He's so relaxed, as expected.

Or rather, there's no benefit
for him to study with us.

No, that's not it.

Because Tani-kun
still has his librarian duties.

Oh, I see.

How would anyone know that?

That was way too brief.

Wait, I realized something good.

You too?

Library!

FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED

Then let's start by copying notes.

Your notebook is way too flashy.

You don't look like you want to study.

It's fine as long as the content is rich.

WORLD HISTORY

Oh, no, did we learn this in class?

I can't remember it even with these notes.

You slept, didn't you? Will you be okay?

If it's really bad,

I'll open all Eight Gates.

Won't that cause serious injury?

Done!

It's over! It's over!

You've only just finished
copying my notes.

If we study this hard from now on,
an average of 60 isn't a dream.

UH…

I don't understand the problem.
What's the answer to this question?

Think about it yourself first!

Tani, teach me!

Me too!

Hey!

From this, we know X = 2.

Do you understand?

I see.
- Perfect!

Awesome!
Tani, let's go to UTokyo together!

You're jumping ahead way too fast.

What stage are we at now?

I'm troubled by that question.

Does that mean our potential
is too great to be estimated?

What are you laughing at?

Nothing.

When the person I like
gets along with my friends,

I feel pretty happy?

It makes my heart flutter.

I think I can understand a little.

We used to be
in our own separate little circles,

but it feels like the boundaries
have disappeared.

Exactly!

I think I can get into UTokyo.

No, me too!

No, no, it's me.

What do you think, Tani-kun?

Do you think I can get along with him too?

You'll definitely be fine.

Because you're a bit like Tani-kun.

I'm back.

Thanks to Tani-kun, I finally understand
everything in this world.

That's great.

We were just talking
about aiming for UTokyo.

You're jumping ahead way too fast.

Your retort is exactly like Tani-kun's.

Are your brains in sync?

What do you mean? That's embarrassing.

Is it?

Seriously, Yamada, you still don't get it?

She's running away, shyly running away.
- Oh, come on…

Oh, come on…

Tani, what time do you get off today?

You sound like a rude customer
asking about a staff member's shift.

Freedom! Freedom!

The feeling of complete freedom!

It's finally over.

Tani-kun.

Sorry to bother you.

It's fine.

Usually, no one comes after school.

It was fun.

So you thought it was fun?

Let's go eat something before we go home.

What do you want to eat now?

Bibinba.
- Pibinpa.

Sounds good!

Let's go, let's go!

Ba?

Tani-kun actually pronounced it as "pa."

You said that's the correct way to say it.

That's true,

but "Bibinba" is easier to say, right?

Go! Bibinba, go!
- Go! Bibinba, go!

Suzuki is like that sometimes.

Anyway, do your best.

What?

Were you secretly talking about me?

Where does that confidence come from?

Hey, I'm leaving you guys behind!

Are you really going to eat bibimbap?

Yes, yes! I'm dying to eat it!

I'd rather have the stone bowl bibimbap.

Right?
- Don't ask for too much.

BIBIMBAP BOWL, REGULAR SIZE VOUCHER

MHM, IT'S DELICIOUS.
- I'M FINE WITH ANYTHING…

What gets you a little excited

is…

when a convenience store

opens near your house.

It's today!

I'm going to the convenience store!

IT'S THE SEASON
FOR POPSICLES AFTER DINNER.

Wait a second.

Help me buy toilet paper.

It's cheaper at the supermarket.

There's only about 0.3 rolls left.

That's really bad.

Are you going out like that?

It's not feminine.

The Exorcist?

Also, buy me LUCKY STREAM.

As if I could!

But he's right.

If I wore something like this
to see Tani-kun,

there's no way I could do it.

POPURI NOW OPEN

Huh?

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE

No way, what a coincidence!

Do you have the flyer coupon?

Of course I do.

By the way, aren't those
your middle school sweatpants?

Don't wear those out.

You too.

It looks like loungewear at first,
but when you're going out,

you throw on your stylish sweatpants.

You're so vain.

Shut up!

Taira, you work here.

Don't come rushing in on opening day.

Of course I'd come.

By the way, you don't live
near here, do you?

It's closer to school,
so it's easier to work on weekdays.

Besides, if I work near home,
my middle school friends will come.

Isn't it good to have friends come visit?

You're disturbing other customers.
Can you hurry up and leave?

He's suddenly acting like a store clerk.

Somehow it's kind of embarrassing
buying toilet paper

where the guy from my class works.

There are more embarrassing things.

Who cares if you're embarrassed?

Goodbye.

I'll be back to pick up tickets
and send auction items.

Don't add to my workload.

The ice cream Gapacho
recommended was delicious.

Gapacho really knows his stuff.

Did it rain today?

It rained for a bit in the evening,
then stopped.

I knew it.

Because it smells
like the air after the rain.

Sorry, I don't get it.

It's that smell of grass and soil…

It's nothing. Sorry, forget it.

The sound of a motorcycle shifting gears.
Is it the police?

They're coming.
- Run! Run!

Huh?

Nabe!
- Nabe!

Why are you here?

I was out for a ride
and happened to swing by.

You can ride like the wind here.

The one most likely to get caught is here.

I thought it was a delinquent couple
hanging out by the door.

I thought I was doomed.

Luckily, it's Suzuki and Yamada.

My friend thought she was doomed.

By the way, you're really bold
to go out dressed like that.

It's nearby, so what's the big deal?

It's not good to wear
middle school sweatpants.

If Tani-kun saw you,
I wonder what he'd think.

No, no, I can't let him see me like this.

It's not that different
from how you usually are, is it?

It's very different!

But it's okay.

Tani-kun wouldn't be buying stuff
at the convenience store this late.

Suzuki-san?

And Yamada-kun and Watanabe-san.
- So slow.

A BEAT LATE

Hey, Tani.

Why are you out so late?

Such a delinquent.

Don't act like it's none of your business.

Why did Suzuki-san disappear?

It's fine, don't worry about it.

Anyway, hurry up and buy your stuff.

Suzuki was never here.

Come on, at least make fun of me.

FEELS UNEASY WHEN NOT BEING TEASED

Okay, run now!

Just explain to him later.

Sorry!

Hey, give me back my helmet!

I'm sorry, Tani-kun.

I want to be myself too.

But I can't show you everything.

I don't want to disappoint you
by exposing too much of myself!

Okay, if I've made it this far,
Achilles will never catch the tortoise.

Suzuki-san.

Achilles…

Why did you run away?

Because…

I don't care.

Even if you don't see much difference,

but I…

It's about how I feel.

How you feel…

But it's okay with Yamada-kun?

Because it's Yamada.

We've known each other
since middle school.

It's fine if he sees me now.

What about Taira-kun and Watanabe-san?

Nabe and I have been together
since the first year of high school.

As for Taira, well, it's Taira.

Is that so?

HUH…?

Tani-kun, you're clearly

upset right now.

I don't want to hear that
from someone who's clearly running away.

You're good at talking back.

I'm just jealous that Yamada-kun
and the others have known you longer.

Tani-kun.

Let's say there's a dish here. And…

One is just put on a random plate.

The other is carefully arranged
on a cute plate.

They both taste the same.

But I want to serve you the pretty one.

Simply put, I just want to save face!

I don't care how it's presented.

Since I like the food itself,
I don't mind.

HMM?

No, that would bother me.

When the plate and presentation
are beautiful,

and people compliment the plate
or the presentation,

I'd be happier.
- Happier…

Feelings?

Yes, feelings.

Tani-kun, let me ride in the back.

You can, but I might be unsteady.

It's fine.

It feels so cool!

Hey.

This perfect summer night air?

Or the weather?

Don't you think it's exciting?

Yeah.

And this…

I like this after-the-rain smell.

I like it too.

Hey, Suzuki's little sister.

Don't stay out late. Go home now.

Okay.

How did the police know her?

RIDE SAFELY AND CORRECTLY!

I'm so excited
for our summer festival date!

You're so excited
now that finals are over.

EVERYONE AVOIDED TAKING MAKE-UP EXAMS
YAY! - WE PASSED! - WOW!

So you decided to go
to a small festival after all.

For the fireworks festival,

we'd have to save seats
and wait for a long time.

Then there'd be a huge line
at the station afterwards.

Just thinking about it…
- So realistic.

I wonder if wearing a yukata
is too formal.

Why? Of course
it's better to wear a yukata.

After all, there's no guarantee

you'll be together next year!
- Hold on!

What nonsense are you talking about?
- I'm just saying

it's better to be mentally prepared.

She's telling you not to be too reserved
just because you're dating him.

Right.

I see.

But don't go too wild
like the girlfriend of a silly couple.

I won't!

KONEKOMACHI NOTICE BOARD:
KONEKOMACHI SUMMER FESTIVAL

I'M ALMOST THERE!

I'M IN FRONT OF THE STATUE

GOT IT!

COPY THAT

What should I do?

Do I look weird?

Should I have gone to a salon
to get my hair done?

How can everyone fit things
into such a small drawstring bag?

They're geniuses!

Are rubber sandals really unorthodox?

My makeup might have already run
from all the sweat.

I'm so nervous.

NERVOUS SWEAT

Tani-kun.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

You surprised me.

Um… It's not weird, is it?

You look beautiful.

BEAUTIFUL

Until now,

people have only ever called me cute.

Has anyone ever called me beautiful?

TEASED BY FRIENDS
YOU CLEANED THE PLATE - RIGHT?

Let's go wild at the festival!

We don't need to go wild.

APRICOT, ORANGE

It's the sound and smell of a festival.

Yeah.

Let's look around first
and then decide what to buy.

Let me know if there's a booth
you'd like to visit.

Suzuki-san, behind you!

I'm sorry!

It's okay.

That was close.

It's crowded, so we have to be careful.

Yes.

What's wrong?

This really feels like we're a couple.

FEELING GIDDY

"LIKE"?

No, I'm too excited.

Even though we see each other
every day at school,

that's exactly why

moments like this

are even more fun.

YAKISOBA, OKONOMIYAKI

But…

Want to split it?
- It's not good

Yay!
- to get too excited.

It's delicious!

But this…

I really can't do it!


ALL-YOU-CAN-ADD SYRUP

The way things are now…

there's no way…

I wouldn't… get excited!

Amazing!

SUPER ba*ls,
FOR 1-10, YOU GET 1 BALL

SILENT PRESSURE… GOT 2!

Are you sure I can have one?

Actually, you can have both.

I can't let you do that.

If you need anything to wipe
your hands with, just let me know.

You're so well-prepared.

Because I'd thought of every possibility.

THINGS THAT MIGHT COME IN HANDY
TISSUES, WET WIPES, HANDKERCHIEFS…

Wouldn't it be smarter
not to say it out loud?

Thank you.

I'm so happy.

Taku-chan.

What?

What a crazy way to make out.

That's too much.

Is that what happens
when you're at your peak of excitement?

But you know, what scares me the most is

that I can relate to that feeling.

When I didn't have a boyfriend,

I was strangely confident

that I wouldn't get so excited
that I'd lose track of my surroundings.

What was I like today?

What do I do?
I suddenly feel so embarrassed!

Tani-kun, is it time for you to go home?

Suzuki-san, will you walk with me?

I've never been around here before.

We're starting to climb.

Where is he taking me?

Could it be… to see the night view?

We're here.

There are a lot of people.

This is kind of awkward…

What should I do?

I don't know his intention,
so it's hard to respond.

Haven't the fireworks started yet?

They're about to start.
Just wait a second.

It's the fireworks festival
we didn't go to!

So you can see them from here.

It's far away, though.

It's totally fine. Completely fine.

Thank you, Tani-kun.

I wonder if we can capture the fireworks.

It's pretty far, so I don't think so.

You're right.

Then let's memorize it with our own eyes.

That was close…

That was close.

I thought we were going to kiss.

No, we didn't kiss…

It's fine, right?

Actually, I really want to kiss him.

Suzuki-san.

Let's watch it somewhere nearby next time.

Next time? Nearby? Watch what?

The fireworks festival.

They'll have it next year too, right?

Yes! Let's definitely go!

I'm part of Tani-kun's "next year."

Did you have fun at the festival?

I totally won.

Won what?
