No matter where your travels may lead you, time continues.
The summer heat is a thing that never changes.
This is why whenever it comes around, I remember...
The days of when I was a young boy of only 13 who knew nothing of the world.
Even now, within me, there are things that have never changed.
Nooo Waaayyy
My first love during the summer
初めての夏の恋は
hajimete no natsu no koi wa
Gradually steamed in low heat.
微熱のまま蒸かされて
binetsu no mama fuka sarete
The first time in your arms
初めての貴方の胸
hajimete no anata no mune
Haunted me like a shallow dream
浅い夢にうなされて
asai no yume hunesarete
The summer door opens itself
夏の扉が開いて
natsu no tobira ga hiraite
I break into tears
涙だけ先走りね
namida dake sakibashiri ne
Shower them unto me,
あたしにかけて
atashi ni kakete
Shower them all unto me
いっぱいかけて
ippai kakete
Set up a trap on me,
罠をかけて
wane wo kakete
Throw me some girls,
おなをかけて
onna wo kakete
Show me some sympathy
情けをかけて
nasake wo kakete
Soar alongside me,
あたしとかけて
atashi to kakete
No matter where we may soar
どこでもかけて
doko demo kakete
Soar through time,
時をかけて
toki wo kakete
Risking our lives,
命かけて
inochi kakete
Risk the fact we may live or die
生死をかけて
seishi wo kakete
Po-Po-Po-Po-Pour!
かけ かけ かけ かけ かけて
kake kake kake kake kakete
Pour them all unto me!
あたしだけにかけて
atashi dake ni kakete
Natsu no Arashi!

Hajime-chan?
Hajime-chan!
It's morning already!
Hajime-chan!
Huh?
You're going to be late.
If you're late, Kaya will never let us hear the end of it.
Ah, good morning, Arashi-san.
Good morning, Hajime-chan.
What were you doing? Were you up late?
Yeah.
Nowadays, we have to do this annoying independent research for summer homework.
What do you think this is?
All I can see is a strawberry, but...
Ha ha ha ha! This is a new concept created by me, the one and only Yasaka Hajime!
I call it the Strawberry Bomb !
Strawberry Bomb?
On the outside, it looks like a normal strawberry...
But there's much more to it!
You see...
Inside is a mixture of pop rocks, peppers, cayenne, and wasabi.
Huh?
I'm sure I made three of these, but...
...why is there only one?
Are you sure you weren't daydreaming?
Grandpa!
He couldn't have...!
This is the fearful, unfathomable power of the Strawberry Bomb ...
I may have created something unbelievable.
Playback
I don't think you should call it a bomb, though.
What should I do, then?
Hmm, just change the name.
How about " Cutie Strawberry-chan "?
I have to turn this in at school!
It can't have such an embarrasing name!
But it's cute, isn't it?
That settles it!
I've decided on " Cutie-Strawberry-chan "!
You know...
Good morning!
You're late! It's almost time to open.
Geh! Kaya-san.
Also, Arashi...
Why are you using such a greeting?
If you're a lady, you should be a bit more elegant.
Uuhee~
A real lady doesn't say "uuhee", either.
Kanako-san!
It's almost time for the store to open.
Things will become troublesome if you don't start showing up earlier.
Oh man...
'Oh man?'
Don't you think you're gradually becoming less and less ladylike?
Don't worry about things like that, Jun.
You're not manly at all, as always.
Stop it! Don't touch me!
Oh! Good morning, Arashi-san, Hajime-san.
'Sup!
'Sup, Yayoi-chan!
That's not what you should be saying.
You've been slacking off these past few days.
You've also been flying off to the past whenever you want.
You should think more about the situation you're putting us in!
I've got something to do, so I'm going on ahead.
Huh?
Kyaa!
Look, look, it's Takakura Ken!
Excuse me for a moment.
You like him, don't you?
Actually, I do, too.
Is it really him?
Maybe I should go, too?
Even you, Master?
It looks like I was saved.
Geez. Hajime-chan, you ran away, didn't you?
No way!
I have no idea why Kaya-san always lectures people like that.
It's because ever since she was in school, she's always been a very proper lady.
Even though she's German, she knows Japanese culture very well.
Tea ceremonies, flower arranging, dancing... she's quite skilled at all those things, you know.
Oh? That's pretty amazing, isn't it?
Ahh!
Ah. That was Kaya's voice.
She probably met Ken-san.
Okay!
All done, Hajime-chan?
Yup!
What do you think? It doesn't look strange, does it?
It looks great!
Welcome!
It's so hot!
Ahh, that's refreshing.
The air conditioning in this place feels great.
What would you like to order?
Water, just water.
Order something that costs money, would you?
I don't have any money right now.
You only came in here to cool off?
It's fine! I'm a regular, after all.
Since when were you a regular?
Shut up, it's too hot to argue.
Bastard...!
Ahh, please don't tease Hajime-chan.
Sorry, sorry.
Oh yeah, I can just get you with my new creation, Cutie Strawberry-chan .
But I only have one...
I can't use my ultimate creation on just anything...
But if I don't use it on the enemies in front of me,
what kind of ultimate weapon would it be?
What should I do?
What are you doing, Hajime-chan?
Arashi-san.
That's it!
Just this one time! Please, Arashi-san!
Ehh?
It's for the sake of a man's revenge!
I'm begging you!
What time do you want to travel to?
Arashi-san!
Just this once.
Thanks!
Here we go.
Right!
It's four in the morning.
The Cutie Strawberries should still be safe. Let's hurry!
We have to get them before Grandpa eats them.
Huh? I'm disappearing!
I see... It's because your other self is sleeping nearby.
Hajime
I screwed up... Multiple versions of myself can't be in the same place at the same time!
If you happen to meet yourself, you will cease to exist.
What should I do, Arashi-san?
Hajime
Oh, so he actually did make three...
Hajime
Now, it's time to teach you a lesson.
What would you like to order?
Huh?
How about trying out our famous strawberry iced coffee?
Hmph.
Or perhaps a strawberry cola?
Don't want it.
A strawberry sandwich?
Don't want it!
Strawberry curry?
I don't want it!!
Strawberry spaghetti with meat sauce!?
What kind of shit are you trying to make me eat!?
Is this the end?
These are about to expire...
I should get rid of them by giving them to someone with a strong stomach.
Here, thanks for waiting!
Mixed fruit juice!
I didn't order that.
It's a special service for regulars.
300 yen is OK.
I already said I didn't have any money...
Well then, 200 yen.
Lower it a bit more.
195 yen!
I don't have change!
200 yen is fine.
Thanks for your business!
What are you looking for, Hajime-chan?
Where did the Cutie Strawberry-chan go?
Ah! Th-This is...!
I guess they were too close to expiration.
Natsu no Arashi!
#SubsFuckingWhere@irc.rizon.net
Meow~
Welcome!
Yo, Arashi-san.
Yamashiro-san!
I brought it.
The book you mentioned yesterday.
Yay! Would it be OK if I borrowed it?
Of course!
Thank you very much!
That bastard!
He's only met her once before, so why is he acting so friendly with Arashi-san?
I'll show him that I'm a step ahead.
He always orders strawberry shortcake, doesn't he?
I have something to do, so I'm leaving for a bit.
Ah?
This morning, I switched the normal strawberry with the Cutie Strawberry-chan .
I'm going to give this to him.
Huh?
I was sure that there were two this morning, but...
No one but Sunglasses got hit with it.
Which means...
Someone ate the cake that didn't have a Cutie Strawberry in it.
OK.
Taste the fury of my ultimate weapon!
Would you like to order?
Let's see... I'll have lemon tea and the usual strawberry shortcake.
Here you go!
Eh?
Did he use an accelerator?
That was really fast.
That's because you're a regular.
Now all you have to do is taste my masterpiece, and everything will be perfect.
Now, make a fool of yourself in front of Arashi-san!
Yes!
This strawberry shortcake is delicious, as always.
Thank you very much!
Huh?
A failure? Did I actually make a mistake?
Hajime...
Huh? What is it?
I am well aware of your evil deeds.
Eh?
What happened earlier to Sunglasses was your doing, wasn't it?
Wh-What are you...?
Where do you think the other cake went?
This morning, Kaya-san asked me to save one of them.
Kaya-san did...?
She definitely took it for a snack.
No way! It's time for Kaya-san's break!
Wouldn't it be nice if you made it in time?
I haven't eaten it yet.
Oh... Is that so?
What a relief, it looks like she hasn't eaten it yet.
I see. Someone has eaten my strawberry shortcake, correct?
I was looking forward to eating it, but it can't be helped...
There is no way I'm staying quiet about this!
Unforgivable!
Who was it that ate my strawberry shortcake?
Eh?
How horrible! To think that someone would do such a thing!
Hajime, it isn't actually you who ate it, right?
You're wrong! You're wrong!
Then just who did it?
I don't like sweet things.
I went out shopping, so...
I was working on the floor the entire time.
Jun! Could it have been you?
What have I ever done to you?
I... no, that is, I was doing my homework in the back the entire time!
That only leaves one person!
Strawberry cake?
It wasn't you, either?
Yeah, and the only person who ordered the cake was Yamashiro-san.
Eh?
Should I not have eaten it?
Then who on earth took it?
What's the matter with her?
Kaya likes her sweets. A lot.
Huh? That's all?
Just what do you mean by that!?
I get it, I get it!
It's because we live in a time where sweets are very hard to find.
The thought of eating it must be burned into her mind.
But then, where did the cake with the Cutie Strawberry-chan go?
If it's gone, it can't be helped, so why not just give it up?
No. As If I could give up!
I'm definitely going to capture the culprit!
Culprit?
I'm going to give them such a hard time, they'll never do anything like this again.
Jun!
Eh?
Y-You don't mean...
Yes, I do.
Let's go!
Eh? Ehh?
This is bad!
At this rate, Kaya-san will eat the Cutie Strawberry and experience something horrible!
Arashi-san!
Again?
9:45 A.M.
Arashi and Hajime are changing in the back, and we should be outside.
So we were looking for Takakura Ken around this time?
The culprit should be showing up around now.
Yes.
Eh? I can see through my hand...
Please be careful.
If you meet yourself in this time, you will cease to exist.
Geh! That's so reckless!
Ah!
There's only one cake!
You two are the culprits, aren't you?
You're wrong! We aren't the ones from this time, we followed you from the future!
The cake was already gone!
I can see through that lie!
Listen, Kaya, that strawberry shortcake is...
Talk is meaningless!
Time to retreat!
As if that would be enough to stop me!
W-Wait! Kaya-san!
We're going back to our time, and then further back to the past!
Eh?
Oh... You know, Kaya, about that shortcake...
I'm verry sorry, but I'm in a hurry and don't have time to talk.
Hold on...
If we jump here, we won't encounter our past selves.
9:30 A.M.
It's fifteen minutes ealier than before.
We'll get there before they do!
I've almost completely disapeared!
It's because the you from this time is close by.
Eh? Eh? Ehh?
We've returned. You seem really nervous.
You're just way too calm!
We're here.
Hajime
Kaya
Arashi
If you're a lady, you should be a bit more elegant.
Uuhee~
A real lady doesn't say "uuhee", either.
Kanako-san!
Kanako
Hajime
Arashi
Kaya
It's almost time for the store to open.
Things will become troublesome if you don't start showing up earlier.
Arashi
Oh man.
Kanako
Hajime
Arashi
Kaya
Jun
'Oh man'?
Don't you think you're gradually becoming less and less ladylike?
Jun
Arashi
Kanako
Kaya
Hajime
Don't worry about things like that, Jun.
Hajime
You're not manly at all, as always.
If I want to get the strawberry shortcake,
We'll have to do something to get ourselves out of the shop.
But how do we do that?
I know! Jun, if it's you...
Alright.
Kyaa!! Look, look! It's Takakura Ken!
Yayaoi
Masuta

Excuse me for a moment.
Jun! Hurry, this way!
Eh? I'm disappearing! Disappearing!
You like him, don't you?
Actually, I do, too.
I wonder if it's really him.
Where could Takakura Ken have gone?
That voice was really close by, but...
Couldn't it just be a trick?
He could have really been here.
Good work! Quick thinking has won this match!
Not good! Kaya-san here, too!
Aren't you two inside the shop right now?
Are you really willing to go that far just to get in my way?
I'm telling you, that's not it!
The only thing I care about now is getting to that strawberry shortcake first!
Wait, Kaya-san!
You're still in front of the shop...
I wonder were Takakura Ken went to?
Kaya
Jun
Eh??
She went through it!
That's not a very good way to use ethereal energy...
This isn't the time to be standing around! To the back!
Hajime-chan, wait!
Right now, in this time, we're changing in the back!
What?
Arashi
Hajime
No way... is this how it ends?
My strawberry shortcake!
This time, you're safe!
Getting here was such a long journey...
Itadakimasu!
Aaaaaaaaahh!
Arashi
Hajime
Huh? That was Kaya's voice.
She probably met Ken-san.
To be continued...
It was irritating,

When you think of summer...
You think of summer homework, right?
Whether you finish it early and then play, or rush to finish it at the last second...
will determine the rest of your life!
Isn't it fine as long as it gets done?
It's the worst!
Be well, and wake up early tomorrow!
Natsu no Arashi!
Be well and wake up early!
