Surprise!
Miya-chan! The soumen is ready!
Coming!
Okay!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Right! Come on i--
You're going to float it?
Miyako, what's that?
Isn't that bamboo from Yamabuki's grounds?
Uh, I don't know about that...
Good morning!
Good morning.
Good morning!
There are many mysteries, Chocoyama-kun...
Yes!
Me too. I wasn't able to do anything yesterday, either.
I haven't done anything since it became August.
I can try my best during July, but for some reason when it turns into August...
I haven't really done much in July either...
Well, you were writing a novel.
Yeah, but I should've realized things would get hairy later on.
And here I was thinking to give it my best this year, but it's the same as last year.
You're amazing, Hiro.
Me?
That's because I can't do much near the end.
Just doing it little by little, right?
Hiro-san, you're so cool!
But I'm not progressing at all with my subject for art class.
But Hiro, aren't you always talking with everyone?
We're all the same, though... Right?
I agree.
Even though we were released from school, rather than working on our topics we just go and meet up.
Slurp!
Well once we get back, let's all try our hardest!
Well, I wanted to go back home after we finished it all though...
I suppose it's about time you went back home, huh?
Summer vacation is already half over, isn't it?
We haven't played at all. We haven't even been to the beach.
We didn't watch fireworks. We haven't been camping either.
I don't like camping.
I don't like hairy caterpillars.
We could just camp here at the Hidamari Apartments, I want to do a barbecue.
When are we going to the swimming pool? I just bought a new swimsuit.
Today!
Let's go today!
Today?
Why not? Let's go today!
Today, you say? That's just too sudden!
It's fine! Didn't you just buy a new swimsuit, too?
Uh, yes.
Yup, that's right. We should go.
Yes! Then it's decided!
Oh, Miya-chan, what are you going to do about a swimsuit?
You can use my old one...
I don't need it. I'll wear mine from school.
No way, the school one is...
If we're going to a swimming pool, then there's that thing...
Hey, Yunocchi...
August eighth, clear skies...
I don't want to look at morning glories anymore.
I can't have a break from school because the principal keeps assigning work!
Teachers need lots of vacation, too!
Weird closet.
Thank you for always looking after my students.
Oh, not at all.
You'll die! Chocolat, get down here now!
Oh, I like this episode!
I don't remember this one.
Yuno-san hasn't come back, right?
Should we get ready to go?
That sounds good.
What should we bring?
Like swimsuits, towels, and eyedrops?
Do you think we need goggles and sunscreen?
I don't think we need them.
Hey, what's up?
Really, thank you very much.
Is it really okay to accept this?
Don't worry about it.
It was on sale so...
Think nothing of it.
Ah, right. You guys are going to be scattered all over the country, right?
It's good not to change.
What do you mean by that?
Round organisms...
Hey! First-year! Are you used to living here yet?
Yes! I already think of the Hidamari Apartments as my second home!
There was another first year student, right?
Oh, she's probably in the yard.
Where's she from?
Ah, where was it?
I'll go get her.
Where is it?
There it is!
She's not here.
Oh well...
That was quite a shock!
It's done!
Yuno, what are you doing?
Ah, well...
Here!
What? A real one?
The landlady brought it?
Huh? Didn't she come to see you?
No...
That's enough.
Oh, that's good.
Well then...
It's cool now.
No way.
It should be just right by the time we get back from the pool.
This is really nice!
This is the biggest swimming pool around here.
There's so many people, too.
Hey, Miyako!
We gotta be careful and stay together!
You too, Yuno.
Yes!
You don't need this.
Is that so?
I'll be right back!
Yuno?
Ah, there's the Yunocchi I know!
An ocean pool?
Yeah, it gradually gets deeper.
Eek! So cold!
Everyone, wait--
What could have happened to me?
A "Hammer" in Japanese is synonymous with someone who can't swim.
A hammer?
More like a saw blade.
No...
Yuno-san, you're not very good with water, right?
Only if I don't have a swim ring.
I always sink.
Here, Yunocchi.
Now you'll be alright!
Thanks! Now I can finally play.
Yuno!
Yuno-san! Yuno-san!
She really does sink.
Miyako!
Miya-chan, that was mean!
Ah! Sorry, sorry!
But, I think you could swim if you really had to.
That's what it was like with me.
Have to?
That's what it was like when I learned to swim.
Really?
Yeah, there weren't enough life boats.
And the sky was so pretty then.
That's a color you don't see very often nowadays.
Wait...
Don't change the subject!
The ocean is really scary!
When it's not stormy, it's fine.
It was stormy?
Yeah, the ocean was making a crashing sound.
The ocean pool...
Also makes waves.
You'll be okay in the streaming pool, right?
Uh, yes!
Put in the swim ring first.
The swim ring floats away.
I get in first.
I float away.
We both go in.
Diving in is against the rules.
Yuno, it's shallow here.
What pool should we go to next?
Yunocchi?
Guess the pool is tiring for Yuno.
Sae-san, grab her legs!
And now returning to the original place.
That was really exciting!
Yeah.
The guy in charge was really nice.
He told us how to slide safely, right?
Uh, really?
Er, well, he was really athletic and muscular, but I thought he came a little too close.
Sae, when he told you to hold your hands together in front of your chest, you did this.
Thanks for the food.
Just like I thought, Hiro-san made a bigger splash than Sae-san!
Miya-chan! What do you mean, "just like I thought"?
Alright, I'm going too!
Explosion!
Uh, Miya-chan...
Synchronized swimming?
Now it's Yunocchi's turn.
Will she be alright?
Yuno!
Yuno-san!
Are you okay, Yunocchi?
It wasn't as scary as I thought!
Teacher is swimming too!
Teacher is wearing a swimsuit too!
Miss Yoshinoya...
But this is just a reward for all the hard work I did earlier!
That's right. You do need a reward.
I've been feeling so sluggish since summer started.
You feel lighter in the water, and heavier when you get out.
That's really nice.
Thanks for saving the seats.
I bought fried potatoes and fried chicken.
And I got shaved ice in green tea and strawberry flavors.
Thank you.
Miya-chan, what's first?
Strawberry ice!
I'll have some.
Tasty!
Eating here makes it taste even better.
And it's even better since we just finished exercising.
Swimming gives your whole body a workout.
But it isn't that intense if you're floating.
It's harder if you sink.
Yeah, it feels good in the water.
I don't like getting out.
I get it, I get it!
Swimming in a pool and in the ocean are totally different, right?
I like pools better than the ocean.
The ocean is scary.
I like the ocean more than pools.
I like them both equally.
I haven't been to the ocean much.
Well, pools are a lot more common than the ocean.
Even our school has one!
But it's a lot more fun to swim here than at our school's pool.
At school, the pool is just another classroom.
Though at school, you can have fun when you don't have class.
Yuno-san, have you ever gone to the pool during your free time?
Yes, I would just grab on to the back of a friend and play.
It was fun.
So, I always try my hardest in swim class.
I'm no good.
Why, Hiro-san?
You're worried about that?
It's not...
No!
Don't stare!
But you're still eating.
Miya-chan, you're mean!
What do you want to do after we eat?
I want to play some more!
Ah! We played a lot!
Ah, I'm so exhausted!
It goes really high if you twist the knob too hard.
Is this for really tall people?
So high!
Three minutes until the bus comes!
I guess we got here just in time!
There's a watermelon when we get home.
That's right, a watermelon!
Um...
Is there a public pool close to Hidamari Apartments?
Well, there's one in the opposite direction of the train station.
It takes about 20 minutes to walk there.
Say Yuno, would you rather have gone to some place quieter than a big pool like this?
No! Um...
It's just that I want to practice swimming.
When I fell asleep earlier, I dreamt that I was swimming.
It felt as if I was in someone else's body, so light and comfortable.
It made me want to try it.
Alright! I'll help teach you!
Ah, thank you!
I'm sure you'll get it in no time!
Y-you really think so?
Yeah, definitely!
Say, is it really okay for me to be here?
It's good for your health.
It's summer, after all.
That's right.
Thank you for inviting me.
Think nothing of it.
An opening!
Here you go.
I'm in your debt!
Sexy beam!
First, a piece from the center!
Miya-chan, that's not fair!
Here, it's ready.
I'll take one!
No, wait!
Sorry, just one picture.
Let's eat!
So good!
It's sweet!
I'm so happy!
The landlady sure is nice.
Shall we all write her a thank you note?
Will just a note be enough?
No, this feels like...
Here!
Thank you!
It sure is big!
Also, heavy.
I'm glad you're still here.
You're getting ready to leave, right?
Yes, we're all leaving tomorrow.
Hiro, where are you from?
Yamagata.
Ah! Cherries!
How about you?
I'm from Fukuoka.
Salted pollack, huh? That sure is tasty!
Sae, where are you from?
Um, well...
She was really asking for souvenirs.
Maybe she was...
Mine is peaches and grapes.
Which one does the landlady like?
It's fine! I can get anything from my parents.
Leave it to me.
Well, as long as we thank her.
She's given us all this.
Yuno, are you coming back on the nineteenth?
Ah, yes! You as well, right?
Nah, I'm leaving on the nineteenth, and will arrive on the morning of the twentieth.
I see.
What about Sae-san?
I've also been thinking about the nineteenth...
But I might come back a little earlier.
I want to get a job.
Then you should give me a call.
I'm planning to do the same.
Sure, I will.
Um, can I send you e-mail?
And call Miya-chan?
Yeah.
Of course you can!
Yup.
I think I really will.
I will definitely think of you at home.
I think I'll get lonely then.
Feeling sad when you say goodbye is a good thing, right?
That means it'll be fun when we meet again.
Yeah, that's right!
I'll tell Mom and Dad about today.
I'll tell them about Hidamari Apartments and Yamabuki High School.
I have so much to tell them!
So many memories...
I've flushed them.
Kiete itsuka wa hakanai sora e ue e koe
I'll disappear and one day cross over the top of the empty sky and say,

Is it the one you bought this year?
Yes!
I thought so.
Your last one was white.
Okay! Now, let Professor Miyako explain!
Compared to warm, bright colors...
Cool, dark colors appear to be smaller and slimmer.
Why did Hiro-san choose cool colors--
Miya-chan, you're mean!
Easy does it.
On a clear day...
Hiro-san was...
Blown by a cold, winter wind.
And they met!
What is it? What happened?
Actually, what happened was...
Yuno, stop!
Sae's novel?
Not that. The opposite, really.
What? Really? Me?
Hidamari Sketch Special.
27 November.
Is Love in the Air?
We'll be waiting at Yamabuki High School.
Please watch it, OK?
