Your mom says some good things.
Yeah.
Then I'll care about you 100 times as much, ●●●●.
Even if it means fighting the whole world,
I'll be your friend no matter what.
Don't say things like that! It's embarrassing!
Hey, what should I call you?
You can call me ●●●●.
Then you can call me Taka.
Hurry up, Taka!
Wait up, ●●●●!
A dream?
Hurry up, Taka!
Wait up, ●●●●!
I still can't remember...

「You See, Girls Wearing Yukata are Extremely Cute (ﾟ∀ﾟ)」
So summer vacation is over in a week...
Well, at least it looks like I'll finish my homework by then.
Oh, right...
There's a festival at the shrine by the shopping district in front of the Tooya City station.
A festival?
So, then what?
Then what?
You said there's a festival...
Yeah. I just remembered that I saw some lanterns hanging on the way over.
So you just brought it up?
You weren't thinking about all of us going together?
Why would I want to go to a place full of people?
She's absolutely right.
I once tried going to a doujinshi festival they hold twice a year in Tokyo,
but the train was so packed I gave up halfway there and went home.
I've had problems with festivals ever since.
I've heard of that festival.
Tons of people go there because there are some books you can only get there, right?
I'm surprised you're okay with not participating.
Oh my...
You sure know some pretty deep stuff, senpai.
I don't like it when you go too deep into a girl's privates, you know.
Don't turn everything into a dirty joke, please!
But if you take dirty jokes away from me, what's left?
A genius inventor and scientist?
You could be a cool character or the token glasses girl, right?
Believe in yourself a little more.
Those gap-moe elements are all just tools for me to unleash dirty jokes!
Dirty jokes themselves are the real me.
By the way, I ask the game companies I help out to pick up any books that I want.
You could even say that it's the sole reason I help them.
So you've figured out ways around your shut-in problem...
Hey, Kodaka...
Would there be... takoyaki stands at a festival like this?
There would definitely be at least a stand or two.
Do you like takoyaki?
Something wrong with that?
No, I love takoyaki too.
Back when I lived in Osaka, I couldn't get along with anyone and got really depressed.
The takoyaki my dad would bring home from this famous shop was the only thing that held me together.
Good takoyaki can save your soul.
But then...
I can't forgive any lowlifes who can sell crappy takoyaki with a smile on their face.
Wait, Kodaka!
I don't have such strong feelings about takoyaki.
I just like it because it tastes good.
It's been some time since you presented takoyaki as an offering to me.
You want to eat takoyaki too, Kobato?
Takoyaki!
Onii-chan! I want to eat takoyaki too!
Then I guess we can go.
The festival's on tomorrow too.
Let's go!
No one said you could go, accursed minion of the church.
I'm going alone with Onii-chan!
You can just go home, stupid poop vampire!
Me, me! I'm going too!
I want to eat takoyaki!
Aniki, I would like to accompany you as well.
Got it.
With Sena and Yukimura, that makes five of us.
Wait right there, Kodaka!
Wait right there, Senpai!
I'm going to the festival too!
Why?
You said you were bad with crowds—
Because I want to eat takoyaki!
I see...
Well, if you really want to eat takoyaki...
Kodaka-senpai!
Yo! You're all early.
Rika...
Wow, that's not half bad at all!
Why do you have to say it like that?
Why don't you just say you like how I look?
You look absolutely amazing.
But if you say it so plainly, it's embarrassing!
Stupid Senpai.
Then what should I do?
The only one left is Meat.
That means we should just go.
What do you mean by that? Stupid Yozora.
You just don't give up, do you?
This festival wouldn't be anything without me.
What was that for?!
Nothing.
Let's go now.
Wait up!
Kodaka, what's the meaning of this?
It's a festival! Why isn't Kobato-chan wearing a yukata?
What's wrong with you?
Just because it's a festival, it doesn't mean everyone should wear yukata.
Who cares about the ignorant masses?
I want to see Kobato-chan in a yukata!
Kobato and I don't have yukata, you know...
Senpai!
This store does yukata rentals.
We're going in right now!
Don't you want to wear a cute yukata, Kobato-chan?
I guess it's not every day we get to wear one.
I want to eat takoyaki right now.
May you wander here for eternity.
What'd you say?! Stupid vampire!
Let's see...
Yukimura, could you go ahead and get some takoyaki?
Understood. I will happily serve as Aniki's underling.
Come on, you're coming, too.
I don't need a yukata.
Despite everything else, your looks aren't bad you know.
It'd be a waste if you didn't wear one.
Yeah, I see what you mean.
Yozora's long black hair would look great with a yukata.
No...
I don't like clothes like those.
A yukata would look good on her...
An-chan.
She's so cute!
So cute! So cute! So cute!
She's so cute I could just eat her right here!
How is it?
It looks good.
As for you, you look like a certain guy on the news who went crazy at a coming-of-age ceremony.
I liked this one, too...
But seriously, that pudding-colored failure hair of yours is the biggest problem.
My hair?
Isn't that why people think you're a delinquent at school?
Why don't you dye it black?
I seriously considered it once...
I told you about how my mom passed away, right?
Yeah...
My face is exactly like my dad's, and I don't look like I'm half.
I wish I could have looked like my mom from the face to the blond hair.
So this hair is the only thing I have that shows that she was my mom.
Dyeing it would be like cutting that only link.
So even if I run into trouble sometimes because of my hair, I still...
Kodaka...
You really are different from all the other guys.
Come on, let's go!
Let's go.
There they are!
Thanks for waiting!
Don't talk with your mouth full...
Okonomiyaki is delicious too!
How much are you planning on eating?
Is this Heaven?
Why are you eating it like that?
I'm practicing eating a chocolate banana erotically.
Did that turn you on?
No.
Here, Kobato-chan.
Open wide!
No!
Not what I had in mind.
Aniki, sorry to keep you waiting.
Don't worry about it.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Let's see here...
What do you think?
They feel pretty fluffy, but the outside isn't hard enough so they break too easily.
And there's too little octopus inside.
No good.
I see...
Alright everyone, let's go find even tastier takoyaki!
I'm full already.
Me too.
Onii-chan!
I want to eat the thing that looks like a cloud next!
Your offerings today have certainly been luxurious.
I'm already full...
Already?
Didn't you say you wanted to try better takoyaki?
I've had enough already.
So now that everyone's full...
We're going home?
I guess we should head home.
What? You're going home already?
We've already had takoyaki, so there's nothing left to do here.
I'm not done yet!
Yeah! We're here, so why not walk around some more?
Do you seriously want to go goldfish scooping or ring tossing at your age?
N-Not really, but...
You'd better not be running away just because you think you'll lose to me!
I said from the start that I can't stand crowds like this.
It's just like you to forget so easily, Meat.
Though, I'll admit it's not nearly as bad as the pool the other day.
Maybe I'll take this opportunity to teach you your place.
Let's go then.
I always wanted to try the goldfish—
I mean, let's battle it out at goldfish scooping!
Your goddess has descended to scoop you, little goldfish.
I'm going to crush that delusion of yours.
I'm the only goddess here.
One please!
Okay!
Here you go.
Thank you.
What the hell? It broke!
It's made of paper.
You're supposed to catch them without breaking it.
Just let me scoop you already, you stupid goldfish!
I can't believe these worthless little flops are breaking my wallet!
Give me ten of them!
Here you go.
I did it!
That's cheating!
This is what they call war tactics.
I'd really rather you not do that anymore...
You can have that one, but could you go elsewhere?
You'd better be grateful!
Your name's going to be Kandata.
I hope you appreciate this!
Meat.
Let's do that next.
Katanuki
You know I'm going to win no matter what the game is.
You cheated in that last one!
Let's go!
You're on!
Senpai, how about we leave them together and go off somewhere else?
I guess.
I want to play with Onii-chan!
My water balloon's bigger!
Mine's prettier so I win!
Stupid! Stupid!
Come on...
Do you seriously think you won that one?
Anyone with eyes could tell that was clearly my win!
And you couldn't even cut out an umbrella!
Don't be a sore loser, Meat!
That kind of nitty gritty stuff just doesn't suit me, that's all!
Over there!
We'll decide it with that roulette!
Sauce crackers?
You're on.
How's that?
No way...
You win the grand prize!
Senpai!
I already have this console, so you can take it instead.
Treat it like it's me and play with it all day!
Let's make it club equipment then.
I... guess...
Meat! You cheater!
Shut up, stupid Yozora!
I won fair and square!
There's no way I'm accepting that!
Could you two leave already?
Here.
Thank you, senpai!
Kodaka! We were looking for you!
We need you to carry our bags.
We can't continue our competition holding all this.
Help us carry them.
I can't.
See for yourself.
A game console?
Why?
You may call me AA Cannon Rika.
I guess we'll call it for today.
Though if we were to continue, obviously I would come out the winner.
What are you talking about?
I'm up by one game!
The goldfish doesn't count!
Come on, we need to go meet up with Yukimura and the others.
Yeah, we're at the west gate of the shrine.
So Stella-san can come by?
Yeah, but because of the festival, she says it'll be hard to tell what time she'll arrive.
I see...
Hey, since we're here, how about we let off some fireworks?
We have a bunch.
Fireworks?!
Good idea.
We probably won't get another chance anytime soon.
I haven't done fireworks in anything but games.
Sounds fun!
I'll go buy a bucket and some candles then.
I'll light mine then...
It's sparkling!
Sparkling everywhere!
Behold my mastery of the dark arts of demonfire!
Return to dust in the flames of purgatory!
Megiddo Flame!
I'm doing it too!
Don't copy me, stupid!
I think I'll do research on fireworks next...
When you write "person" and "dream" together you get "fleeting".
People's lives pass away in a fleeting moment...
Maybe we're just like these fireworks.
Triple fireworks!
You've got a long way to go still!
We're finally at the last boss, huh?
This is our last one...
That's it?
That was as disappointing as Meat.
What's that supposed to mean?!
Or so I thought, but I guess you can do it after all, last boss.
You see?
I'm not complimenting you, Meat.
There's still more?
That's a real last boss.
Do you smell something burning?
It doesn't smell like gunpowder either...
Yozora! You're on fire!
Hey, Yozora!
Water!
Turn around, Yozora!
The fire's gone...
Yozora...
I'm leaving.
Yozora...
For the next week until summer vacation ended, Yozora didn't show up to club.
Sept 1
Tanabe.
Here!
Suda.
Here.
Hasegawa.
Yeah.
Hirasawa.
Here.
Fujioka.
Here.
Origuchi.
Here.
Matsushita.
Yozora...
Here.
Mikazuki.
Here.
I'll mark you as on time.
Take your seat.
Okay.
Sora?
It's been a long time, Taka.
That was our first meeting in ten years.

Hurry and find it, my lost heart
So in the end, Yozora didn't show up to club after the festival.
I for one rather enjoy the refreshing environment without that dumb witch around.
Come on, that's a little cruel.
It's the truth!
I'm in trouble!
I'm in deep trouble if Yozora doesn't show up!
Why? What's wrong?
I won't get to eat any chips if she doesn't come!
Seriously?
Next time: We Have Few Friends.
Though, without her around it's refreshing almost to the point of boredom...
