Eh? We're moving?
In two weeks?
No way...
What's wrong, Hawk?
You've been acting weird lately.
I've got something to tell you.
What is it?
I'm going to tell you something really important tomorrow,
so be absolutely sure that you come here.
In that case, I have something very important to tell you tomorrow as well.
Understood.
We made that promise two days before I moved away.
But the next day, even though I waited until the sun was setting, he never showed up.
I left this town without ever saying goodbye to my only close friend.
A dream?
Why's Kobato...?
Huh? What was that dream about...?

Doesn't Have
The end of the first semester has crept up on us.
Yeah, now you mention it, summer vacation starts tomorrow.
As you know, the goal of our Neighbors Club is to "make friends."
So, who here has made a friend?
Who here plans to spend their summer vacation with friends?
Rather, my reputation has just gotten worse ever since I joined this club.
And for me...
"I heard Kashiwazaki-san is going out with that delinquent..."
is what I overheard them gossiping about.
I'll never forgive them!
I'm... sorry...
It's not really something you have to apologize for.
So, what have you all been doing in this club, anyway?
Lets see...
If I remember correctly, we played games, we played games...
We did theatre rehearsals, we played games...
So really, you just played around.
Hey, I'm just curious, but... have you ever gone to karaoke?
Well, at my old school I went once or twice.
I have.
Eh?!
Why are you so surprised?
Well, you don't really look like someone who goes to karaoke...
I'm an expert on every karaoke box in this town.
That's amazing, to conquer every karaoke box in the city alone...
Why do you assume I was alone?
Karaoke boxes are places you go with friends, of course.
Eh?!
Going to karaoke with your friends is so fun~
Tomo-chan is so great at singing.
If you get caught up listening to her, you'll find that your time is up before you know it.
Ah, Tomo-chan, your air-friend...
Why are you making such a pitying face?
No, I'm not really...
Even Kodaka and Yozora have gone...
Sena, you've never been to one?
I haven't...
Is that so bad?
There's no reason why someone as high-class as me would go to karaoke like the vulgar common folk.
I have absolutley no interest in that kind of thing.
And in middle school, when I wasn't invited I wasn't lonely at all!
I understand, calm down!
Senpai, I've never been to karaoke either.
I've wanted to go for a long time, but I don't want to go to such a busy place by myself.
So perhaps next time we could go to karaoke together?
Sure, that's okay.
Thank you!
Wait, Kodaka, if you're going to karaoke, leave it to me — I know a great place!
You'll take us there?
That'll help a lot.
Bro, I've never been to a karaoke place either.
It has been a long time since I last played the requiem of chaos.
Then, when shall we go?
Tomorrow is the start of summer vacation, after all.
I'm free tomorrow afternoon.
Any time is fine with me.
Me too.
Then, tomorrow it is.
Where shall we meet up?
My favorite place is about ten minutes walking distance from Tooya-nishi Station.
In that case, let's meet in front of the west station's ticket barrier.
So what time...
H-Hold on a second. Y-You know..
What is it, Meat?
Right now we're making plans for the vulgar common folk's so-called karaoke pastime
for which the high-class Meat-sama has absolutely no interest, and to which she would never even consider wanting to go.
So, Meat, did you have something you wanted to say?
If not, then tomorrow's plan is none of your damn concern.
I... That's...
That place sells free-time slots starting at one hour, so meeting at one o'clock should be fine, right?
You're all responsible for your own lunches.
Don't ignore me!
What, Meat?
Don't tell me that you want to participate in the vulgar common folk's pastime of karaoke?
Wanting to go is...
Hey, if you want to come with us, you should just come out and say it.
What, you wanted to come with us?
I... I want to... to go, too.
I can't hear you.
I want to go too!
Eh? What was that?
I want to go to karaoke with everyone!
Oh, okay, I understand your feelings now.
But I don't want to go with a bitch like you.
If you still want us to take you along, why don't you try begging?
B-Begging?
From the bottom of your heart, say, "Please take me with you."
P-Please t-take me w-with you.
Hm?
I can't hear you very well.
What happened to your "I beg of you," Milk Cow?
P-Plea-se
Yukimura-kun, could I have another cup of coffee?
Ask more clearly and politely, from the bottom of your heart!
Please take me with you! I beg of you!
Well said.
But I refuse.
I said what you told me to say, idiot!
I'm going with you tomorrow.
And anyway, why do I need to get permission from Yozora to go with everyone?
You finally figured it out.
You're really missing some brain matter, aren't you?
Idiot!
Dumbass!
Go die!
Stupid Yozora!
Now then, shall we decide the real meeting place and time?
Are you an demon or what?
It was a joke.
I've got plans tomorrow at 1 P.M., so please prepare my lunch earlier than usual.
Plans? With friends?
There's no way it would be with friends...
It's just with my club.
Well, if I don't go then they wont be able to start.
What kind of club activity is it?
We're going to karaoke.
I'll make Yozora and Kodaka prostrate themselves in front of my splendid singing voice.
Ah, I'd like to sing a duet with Kobato-chan too~
Kodaka?
Tooya-nishi... Tooya-nishi...
Aren't you boiling in that outfit?
Those who are true ancestors excel at resisting heat.
She's not excelling at all, though...
Oh, everyone's here.
Now, since everyone's here, shall we go?
You're all so early! There's still ten minutes 'til we agreed to meet.
I arrived five minutes after Rika.
I arrived twenty minutes before Bro got here.
I arrived fifteen minutes before Sena-senpai got here.
I arrived five minutes before Yukimura did.
Why are you all saying it like it's a quiz?
Kobato, from everyone's responses, figure out each person's arrival time.
Our arrival time was 12:50 exactly.
Your time limit is until we arrive at the store.
Umm...
If I access the Akashic Records, solving that kind of problem will be extremely simple.
Wait just a minute.
It's not that hard a problem though...
Are we still not there?
Shut up, Meat. It's close.
What's the store called?
"Hail From the Abyss"
What kind of store is it?
Hey, Taka!
You're so slow, Taka.
Wait up!
Kodaka, what's wrong?
An-chan~
There!
Welcome!
So this is a karaoke box?
Free-time and the drink bar.
Uh... For six of you, right?
Ah.. Yes, the six of us.
Certainly.
Free-time and the drink bar for six people comes out to be 5400 yen.
Huh, 5400 yen?
Why is it so expensive?
Um... Free-time for one person is 650 yen, and the drink bar is 250 yen, which makes it 900 yen per person.
What did you say?
I'm just checking, but this is for six people sharing one room, right?
Yes.
Wait a minute.
What's wrong?
The pricing is suspicious.
What do you mean?
I can understand charging each person 250 yen for the drink bar,
but why are they calculating the rent for the room per person as well?
Is that strange?
Meat, what does one do at a karaoke box?
Isn't it a place to sing songs?
Exactly.
In one room
someone could sing thirty songs alone, but six people can only sing five songs a person, which sums up to thirty songs.
So why are they charging six times the rent?
So you're saying it's a scam?
It's almost a scam.
When I came here with Tomo-chan, this never happened.
Hold on, hold on.
They wouldn't count Tomo-chan as a person, and isn't this just how karaoke rooms charge people?
No, suspicious things are suspicious.
You have a strange view.
Papa always says, "Those of higher class must never ignore when money moves unnaturally."
I know, in that case, how about this?
I guess Meat's social standing isn't for nothing.
Earlier I said that it was going to be for six people, but I take that back.
I'll take the usual free-time and drink bar for 900 yen.
I know those people, but I'm not here with them. We just happened to enter at the same time.
Okay... Then one person, 900 yen.
Uh, this is my first time, but I'd like free time and drink bar for one.
What are they trying to do?
It looks like everyone is getting their own private room.
Then there was no point in us coming here together...
That will be 900 yen..
Kodaka, it's your turn.
We're going ahead.
F-For how many?
Uh, four people...
A room for four will be fine?
Um, yes.
Thank you very much!
That's fine, right?
Woohoo, lets do a duet!
If I get to be in the same room with Bro...
The time to hear my beautiful voice is approaching...
Then, I will make you a membership card...
Yep.
Is something wrong?
N-Nothing.
That will be 3600 yen.
Okay.
Eh, so it's like this...
Yay!
Kodaka-senpai, please go first.
I'm first? Lets see...
I'm going to make myself cool in one shot!
In one shot...
Ah, we have to prepare this black, hard thing right?
A mic. It's called a mic.
Let's go!
Bro!
Sometimes I wonder if everything was a dream.
When I saw you back then, did you see me?
I think about when you were here
and then think about what you were thinking.
I have all these questions for you if you were here.
An-chan!
You have a wonderful singing voice, Bro.
Senpai, you have such a nice voice. It's almost making me wet...
I'm remembering that time 7,000 years ago, when the two of us ran through the dark night.
I don't remember that.
Ah, it's my turn!
Run to the ends of the earth
Yukimura?
hand in hand with the time of destiny.
Feel the rush of the universe
and then leave everything to it.
I wonder if those two are singing too, alone?
How was that Love-Mic Finish?
Did it thrill you?
It didn't!
What?
I spent all of last night coming up with it.
I'm next.
I devote this song to Bro.
Is that so? Well, do your best, Yukimura.
If I went to their rooms to listen in, would they get mad...?
They have it!
"Go! Go! Gernika-chan!"
Good for you.
Ah, how little my life is worth...
Take pleasure in my beautiful voice.
Through the window I was always watching as you walked away.
I try to see through the strengthening rain
I hadn't noticed that I had gotten so close
It hurt when we said goodbye in my dreams
Now I understand your tears
our cheeks will never meet
you'll never notice me
we'll never make a promise
And that hand that makes me breathless will never come
Ugh, I sang too much; my throat hurts.
Senpai, if you were to abuse me with that voice, I would really have a masochistic awakening.
That voice makes me shiver, Bro.
What's wrong, you two?
It's Meat's fault.
That stupid Yozora is to blame.
Just how fired up were you while you were singing?
They have a grading mode, right?
We were doing that the whole time.
It appears they have rankings.
When I started, the top rankings were filled with the name "Night."
I thought, "That's Yozora."
When I was just filling up the high score lists with my name,
suddenly the disagreeable character string "Sena" came and messed it up.
Even from different rooms, you two get into fights...
So who was the winner of the competition?
Me!
First place was my 99%.
That was a fluke.
I monopolized 2nd to 11th place with my 98%.
If you don't have 1st place, there's no meaning to that.
Besides which, I had more 97% scores than you.
Liar!
I'm the one with the most 97% scores.
Lies, Meat!
It's not a lie, tone-deaf Yozora!
That was fun, Senpai, right?
Let's come again sometime.
Yep.
Hmph!
Thank you very much!
I guess this is the end of the first semester of the club activities.
It looks like it.
I won't be able to flirt with Senpai for forty days...
Wait, Rika!
Don't say it like we've been flirting all this time!
I guess I won't be able to be Bro's gofer.
What are you all talking about?
We have club activities as normal over the summer.
We have club even in the summer?
The sports clubs and the culture clubs still have club activites, so why should we be the only ones who take a break?
First of all, summer is the season where people become more and more satisfied with their lives.
We need to practice over the summer in order to prepare for the event that we get invited by a group of self-satisfied people.
Those people are so self-satisfied that they can't even control it.
The same way that when you put boiling hot water in a glass cup, it breaks?
Exactly.
Isn't that just thermal expansion?
The next club activity will be next Monday.
If you can't make a friend by the end of summer vacation, then we need to find the cause—
Here!
What is it, Meat?
I believe that the reason we keep failing is because Yozora is grossly incompetent.
To be honest, I have some idea of the cause as well.
Because Meat is too stupid.
Because Meat is too annoying.
With your stupidity and your incompetence,
the worthlessness of your very existence is nothing but a minus to the club— no, to the entire world.
You're going to go that far?
Certainly, I said too much.
It is impossible to give a perfect explanation of the extent to which you are a burden to society,
so everything I said was just a pile of useless words.
Is this okay?
Don't turn around.
Bro...
Don't turn around!
I understand.
Piece of shit...
Yozora, people are staring... everyone around us...
Dumbass! You dumbass, Yozora! Idiot! Just go and die!
Every time... It just can't be helped with that person.
So it's been a month since club activities started.
This person started everything.
Yozora.
Hm?
This past month has been pretty fun.
Thank you.
Kodaka!
Sena?
I forgot to tell you.
Yesterday, I was talking to Papa and he said he should have some time off over summer, so come and see him any time.
It seems like Papa wanted to meet you too.
Is that so?
Well in that case, I'll head over next time.
Tell me when you'll be coming.
Of course.
Hold on a sec.
Why is Kodaka going to Meat's house and, uh... greeting her father?
We're—
Kodaka.
Let's keep that a secret; otherwise, it might cause a problem.
Oh okay. I understand.
Certainly, the fact that the board chairman used his power to help me transfer probably shouldn't be made public.
I-It's a secret?
It's not really something that Yozora needs to concern herself with.
Kodaka's coming to my house and meeting my Papa is really none of Yozora's business.
Well then, Kodaka, I'm counting on you.
Okay.
Ah na mo nai souzou risou no genjitsu touhi

Being on the indecisive-side, I bury this feeling deep inside.

I can't get my feelings across! Am I the unfortunate one here?

I'll push my way through the sad feelings!

My maiden heart that was abandoned

has been sorrowful ever since that day.

Hurry and find my lost heart.
Kodaka-senpai, isn't it great?
We'll be able to see each other over summer break too, through the club.
We'll still be able to see each other, so I'm happy, Bro.
You guys really have no plans for the summer?
Senpai has some?
Well no, I don't...
I knew it!
Well then, for the next forty days, do lots and lots of sexy things with Rika, 'kay?
For the next forty days I'll be sure to be a reliable gofer, Bro.
You guys...
Next time:

I don't have a way to get in touch with Senpai!
