Yasaka-kun!
Arashi-san.
You're going to fight no matter what?
Even when a man knows he's going to lose, there are certain times he must fight.
Goodbye, Arashi-san.
Wait, Yasaka-kun! Don't go!
Why? Why are you willing to go this far?
This world's fate has nothing to do with you.
Even so, you've been hurt and have suffered because of it.
Why are you willing to go so far, and fight like this?
I wonder... I'm sure it was to see your smile, Arashi-san.
If... If I return safely, then...
If I return safely, then...
Return?
Return... how did that go?
Is it like this... or more like this?
How do I write this kanji again?
No, this means "far."
But maybe it's kind of close...
Like this.
Oh, I see.
So...
Why are you here, Arashi-san?
You were really slow, so I came to get you.
If you don't hurry up, you'll be late for work at the Ark.
Eh?
Good morning, Hajime-chan.
This is the town from when I was alive.
When you were alive?
Then you're...
That's right, I'm a ghost.
A ghost?
I want to protect her
But I can feel her fine...
Hajime-chan, what were you writing this morning?
Huh?
Oh, I was summarizing a book.
Oh, that's amazing!
Well that's how things started out, but it turned into an original story.
So you like things like that, Hajime-chan?
No matter what the era, a man always wants to be an ally of justice.
An ally of justice?
A hero who risks his life to fight and protect people.
I know! After work, we should go to the arcade together.
Arcade?
You've never been to an arcade before?
I've never really been out of this area.
Let's go, then!
I'll take you there.
Hmm... OK, I'll give it a try!
I'll have an iced tea with milk.
Ah, me too.
Of course!
Are you working here too?
I was won over in a bet.
That kid with the glasses was, too.
Who are you calling 'that kid with the glasses'?
Master, another two iced teas, please.
Coming!
Man, making money sure is nice.
Business wasn't going so well, but I guess if you keep trying, everything works out in the end.
They're all guys from the university, though.
What's wrong with that?
Pure-hearted boys coming here to see their master because of the small pang in their chest.
I am such a dirty woman.
Yeah, you are.
I bet most of them only like you for your breasts, anyway.
Um, can you bring me some salt?
What did you say, you brat!?
I'll stuff these coffee beans down your throat!
What was that, old hag?
Who are you calling a hag? You need to learn to mind your mouth!
What was that?
Do your jobs.
Can you bring me some salt?
These guys are obviously after Arashi-san.
Arashi-san is pretty cute. She has a gentle manner and beautiful hair.
Of course!
Don't be proud of it!
Men are attracted to women who seem a bit vulnerable.
Who the hell cares about long, black hair?
If it's vulnerability they want, I've got tons of it!
You're not vulnerable, you're a walking trap!
She is a pro con-artist.
Hey, give us your e-mail.
E-mail?
You don't have a cell phone?
I'm sorry, I'm not good with new things.
Um, can you bring me some salt?
My circle is having a drinking party tonight...
Why don't you come along?
Circle?
I'm sorry, I don't really understand.
Can you bring me some salt?
We make independent films, and we're looking for a girl with black hair.
You're the perfect model, so how about you give it a try?
That sounds like fun!
But I'm very sorry, I have plans today.
Damn. I guess we'll have to try some other time, then.
Um, can you bring me some salt?
You're pathetic. Are you just going to watch?
Shut up! Arashi-san can choose who she wants!
Thinking it's okay to let guys do that, you really are a boy.
Yeah, but I want her happiness to come first.
But that's the same as letting your chance get away, and it's hypocritical.
If I can spend time with Arashi-san like I've been doing, I'll be satisfied.
If you're a man, you should understand my feelings.
Eh? Well, I do understand that...
But you don't have any self control, and you don't worry enough either.
What do you mean by that?
Welcome!
Why is Arashi-san staying with you?
Eh?
Don't you think it's weird that someone suddenly wants to live with you?
Well, that's...
Being nice is good and all, but be careful. Women are vengeful creatures.
Vengeful?
Women are very careful and calculating.
They're always planning their next move with everything they do.
Shut up, you. Don't be so jealous!
Who's jealous!?
Fine, stay in your fantasy world. When you get hurt, it won't be my problem.
Arashi-san would never do anything to betray me!
She wouldn't, but...
You musn't run away.
Can you bring me some salt?
That's it for the day!
Yeah, thanks for the work.
Jun, do you want to go to the arcade too?
No, I have something I need to do.
I see. I can take you to the station, if it's okay with you.
I guess you do have your good points.
I'm full of generousity and kindess!
Well then, Arashi-san, I'll race you to the bottom!
Sure. I won't lose!
Eh?
Hey, wait...
Ready, go!
See you later.
I'm never riding with you again!
Well then, how about we get going?
Yeah!
This place really has changed...
This is an arcade, Arashi-san.
Wow, it's so cool!
Ah!
Look at all these! There are so many dolls! They're so cute!
So you've finally noticed it?
Its name is the "crane game"...
It has the power to take all the money from your wallet by making you think you were this close and could get it with just one more try!
It's the arcade's...
U lti mate Weapon!
Eh?
Even though they're this cute?
Many brave warriors have challenged the crane game, but few have survived!
To think that this thing was so fearful!
They're so cute, and yet...
Never underestimate the arcade!
I'll show you how to beat it!
Yes, Captain!
First, put in 100 yen!
Then press the parallel button!
Then press the perpendicular button!
Then release the button at the perfect time!
Wah!! The mission has failed!
Captain!
The enemy's defenses were stronger than I had imagined!
Are you okay, Captain?
Don't worry about me. Hurry and rescue him!
I can't... I could never leave you behind, Captain!
You moron!
If you don't go, then who will save him?
I understand. I'll save him, no matter what!
Go!
Listen, look at them carefully.
The enemy has set up many decoys, but don't be fooled!
There is only one in need of rescue!
That one!
It's that one for sure! Our eyes met!
I cannot be mistaken, for I felt destiny right at that moment!
So you finally found him?
Go! Private Arashi!
Here I go!
Ah!
Private Arashi!
This is the last coin!
Go for it, Private Arashi!
Captain...
I will do it!
This is it!
Oh no, why!?
There is definitely something strange about this machine!
Private Arashi, please calm down!
Now I'm serious. I'm going to use my own coins!
Eh?
Natsu no Arashi!
Arashi-san... You had money?
Natsu no Arashi!

Give me your telephone number, 6-7-0 whoa. Whoa!
Yes, this is your friendly neighborhood detective,
doing everything from background checks to investigations with a helpful attitude and a constant smile,
with an emphasis on speedy delivery and customer service, and an easy to understand billing procedure.
Um, there's something I want to ask you.
Yes! No matter what it is, I can help you!
I'll lend you my skills.
Actually, there's something that's really been bothering me.
What's the different between tororo soba and yamakake soba?
TL note: Tororo is a potato-like vegetable with a slimy texture.
TL note: Yamakake soba is a noodle dish served with grated yam and a quail egg.
Huh?
It's been bothering me so much, I can't sleep at night.

What's different between tororo soba and yamakake-
Maybe the slogan is too long...
I finally got it!
I didn't know you hated losing so much.
Oh, shut up!
So, here you go, a present.
Is it okay?
You like it, right, Hajime-chan?
Thanks.
Ah, that was fun!
Be careful. Women are vengeful creatures.
What is is, Hajime-chan?
For some reason, I don't even care anymore.
Huh? What are you talking about?
Nothing at all. It's my secret.
Really, Hajime-chan...
Actually, I also have a secret that I haven't told you yet, Hajime-chan.
Eh?
And, about that... I'd like for you to help me.
Will you listen to my request?
Request?
I want you to jump with me again.
I want you to go back into the past with me.
You still don't believe that I'm a ghost.
You know... when I connect with a boy, I can use my power to travel back in time.
Hajime-chan, you and I connected.
Even if you say that... It's such an unscientific story.
I didn't believe it at first, either.
But, this is reality.
You experienced it once already, didn't you?
But...
I'd like to borrow your power!
Please!
Thank you, Hajime-chan.
Showa 20 (1945), January
What is this? It's freezing...
That's because it's winter right now.
Showa 20, January.
This is the era Japan fought in the Pacific War.
The Pacific War?
World War II.
Eh?
We don't have much time, so let's hurry.
Don't leave my side. If we get separated, we can't return to our own time.
Hold on... Wait, Arashi-san!
We will fight to the end!
Luxury is wasteful
You are Murata Sankichi-kun, right?
I am, but... what do you need, miss?
You were going to the river with your dad right now, right?
Yeah!
We're going fishing in the Tsurumi river.
Who are you guys?
Oh? Dad.
Pleased to meet you, Murata-san.
I'm Arashiyama Sayoko from the Ookurayama Women's High School.
Actually, I have something to ask of you, Murata-san.
Hmm? What would that be?
I'd like for you to cancel your fishing trip for today.
Eh?
Forty minutes from now, a bombing raid will hit the Tsurumi River area.
I'm sure you've heard the warnings.
It's dangerous, so please stay away from the river for now.
Even if you say that, they play those all the time, and I bet nothing will happen today either.
This time it's real!
No way! I never get to go fishing with my dad!
Daddy, don't you have to go back to the factory tomorrow?
Please, Murata-san.
Wait, why aren't you conscripted yet? What are you doing wandering around here?
Are you some girl from a rich family?
You don't even have your hair tied back. What are you thinking?
Go home.
Move out of my way.
It's been a long time since I've had a day off.
Murata-san, is that you only fishing pole?
Huh? Yeah.
Run!
Wait! You bitch!
Arashi-san, what was that about?
Stop right there!
That old man is serious.
What do we do, Arashi-san?
Keep running!
Arashi-san, why did you do that?
We have to go back.
We need to make sure that he didn't go to the river.
It's alright, the old man is in his house.
That's a relief, then.
If he was at the river now, we wouldn't make it.
Oh yeah, we have to return this.
I did something bad to him...
Arashi-san.
Was that child crying?
The kid wasn't there.
Hajime-chan, wait for me at the Ark!
Wait, Arashi-san! I'm going too!
What?
It's an air raid warning!
That is...
Hurry, hurry! Put it out!
Arashi-san!
The buckets, bring more buckets!
Arashi-san!
Lend a hand, everyone!
Is anyone hurt?
It's okay. It's aright now.
Sankichi!
Sankichi, where are you?!
Mister, he's over here!
Sankichi, are you alright?
Dad!
Thank God! Are you hurt anywhere?
No, that girl saved me.
Thank you, miss!
Why?
How did you know the air raid was coming?
There's no way that someone could guess that.
Just who are you?
You're really an enemy spy, aren't you?
You bastard!
Don't do it, Hajime-chan!
Don't stop me, Arashi-san!
Let me beat the crap out of him!
Don't!
But...!
Don't, please.
It's time to go back.
Sorry, Hajime-chan.
This is my secret.
I can't jump by myself.
Something like this might be impossible for you...
Hajime-chan?
Not a problem.
It's no problem at all!
Thank you, Hajime-chan!
Stop that, Arashi-san!
I love you, Hajime-chan!
How are you feeling,
Yayoi?
How are you feeling, Yayoi?
I'm doing very well,
Kanako.
I'm doing very well, Kanako.
I see. I'm glad to hear that.
I read another very interesting book.
What was the name of that book, I wonder?
It's... oh, I seem to have forgotten the title.
What kind of story was it? Will you tell me?
Yes, I'd be happy to.
It's a story of youth.
As summer vacation ends, a mysterious young boy clad in a necktie and hat is on the way to school for a new semester.
He is an expert at disguises, and he loves elephants.
He takes the form of his friends and of animals
so that he can play clever tricks that make a mockery of society's so-called 'common sense',
and its obsession with honor, reputation, and prestige.
My, what a wonderful story.
The police sergeant had a catchphrase that he would always say.
What is it? Will you tell me?
Off with his head!
When you think of summer...
It's electric fans, right?
No, air conditioning.
You've got to be kidding me.
Well, Master's makeup will fall apart if it gets too hot!
I don't wear enough makeup for that!
Get up bright and early again tomorrow!
Natsu no Arashi!
Get up bright and early next time!
