I will never allow Yayoi to experience such horrors again.
We will live in peace for all eternity.
Anyone who tries to interfere should just disappear!
Natsu no Arashi!
#SubsFuckingWhere@irc.rizon.net
It can't be! Did I connect with you?
A time trip... we traveled to the past!
Yayoi-san?
On March 10th, between midnight and 2:40 A.M.,
approximately 130 B-29 bombers attacked the capital.
Bombing the capital?
Just what year of the 10th did that happen?
Yayoi-san!
You're my only hope here.
Yayoi-san!
No.
I know this is hard for you, but we need to face what's in front of us.
C'mon, Yayoi-san.
Hey, are you alright, Yayoi-san?
She fainted...
What should I do?
Should I just stay here?
This has got to be the era that Yayoi-san lived in.
Which would mean that students must all be conscripted into war factories.
Guess I'll head there.
If the factory is too far, I'm done for.
If I get caught by the military police, I'm done for.
But if I can find the Arashi-san of this era, then I might find a way out of this.
I'll come back in one piece, Arashi-san!
The World for Two
Yeah! Take that!
There actually isn't much brutality here.
In fact, there's more kinship.
What is she so afraid of?
Oh, Yayoi-chan?
Why are you in a wheelchair? Did something happen during the mobilization?
Crap! She knows Yayoi-san!
Are you okay, miss?
Uh, yeah, she was involved in an accident.
Oh my, that's awful.
Well, I'm trying to get to the factory right now.
Do you happen to know the way?
I'm not familiar with this area.
Oh, just head straight and turn right.
Hurry...
...and run!
In the morning of April 15th and the night of May 29th,
there will be large scale bombings!
Hey!
Yayoi-chan?
This place will be burned to the ground, just like Tokyo.
So... so...
Yayoi-chan, you shouldn't say things like that.
If the police catch you saying those things, you'll be endangering your whole family.
But I'm telling the truth.
Thank you. I'll remember it.
Take good care of your legs.
She didn't believe you...
I'm not surprised.
We came from the future.
How are we supposed to explain?
Things aren't like they were with Arashi-san.
Even if we know what's going to happen, there are things we can't change.
Everyone here will burn during the bombings.
Run, hurry up and run...
Yayoi-san...
Even in our situation, she's still trying to save the people here.
How grave must the terror that was carved into her soul be?
There's the factory.
Everything inside is probably top secret.
We'll have to walk around the perimeter and look for Arashi-san outside.
Let's take a break.
I don't think anyone will come here.
Kanako!
Oh, Yayoi-san, you're awake?
Who are you?
Oh, it's brother! You must be brother.
I'm so happy to see you here.
I guess being dead has its merits.
Yayoi-san, what happened to you guys?
What happened?
I don't remember.
I was alone with Kanako when I woke up.
My legs were probably injured during the bombing.
I can't walk anymore, but Kanako takes care of me.
You two seem close.
Yep!
Kanako's smart and kind-hearted.
We're kind of like ghosts now.
We weren't sure what to do at first,
but after talking and comforting each other,
we eventually managed to accept it somehow.
We've been living every summer in peace ever since.
A tranquil time... without any fighting.
Kanako.
Yes, Yayoi?
Time keeps passing by in the outside world.
Yes, we can only live during summer, afer all.
It's a bit frustrating.
I mean, I love summer because it's filled with life...
...but to be honest, I'd like to experience autumn, winter and spring as well.
I wonder what the other air raid survivors are feeling as they live out the rest of their lives?
Yayoi, don't talk like that anymore.
You'd only suffer if you knew about your family and friends.
But you're right. They must be living their lives to the fullest...
...with wills more determined than anyone's.
By the whims of God, we were gifted with a new way of life.
We must never forget our own selves.
Kanako, let's go to the beach tomorrow.
It'll be hot. Will you be alright?
Yep, as long as I have Kanako's special iced tea.
I'll be sure to make a lot.
Yay!
We were living a dream-like summer.
But... how terrible.
God was so awful. He was playing with our lives.
Yayoi?
What should I do?
The piano... I can't play the piano!
Yayoi?
It's okay.
It's okay, Kanako.
It must be a sign from God that we've lived long enough.
They spent sixty summers together.
I still don't understand what bound them together so tightly,
but...
Don't worry.
I'll find a way to keep us from disappearing somehow.
What do you think you're doing?
So it's you again.
What is the meaning of this, Fushimi-san?
It's the Kanako from this era?
Stop appearing everywhere I go!
This is supposed to be my private spot!
But we promised...
...that we would meet up here if anything happened.
Don't screw around.
Kanako, are you angry?
I don't know what act you're putting on,
but it must be real nice to be able to play around like that.
Kanako...
How long do you plan on toying with me?
I've had enough!
Kanako, stop!
Shut up!
We work months and years for people like you!
Yet the wealthiest folks of this country take everything!
I... I...
Get down!
A U.S. fighter plane? They're firing from this range?
We're the targets!
They're back!
That's Kanako...
Yayoi-san?
It's Kanako.
Kanako! Kanako!
Kanako!
I said I would help a few minutes ago,
but I couldn't move a muscle.
Natsu no Arashi!
Yayoi-san!
Yayoi-san...
She's alive!
It was the fear of death. The remorse took away her ability to walk.
But even so, I asked myself, "What could I have done?"
The fact that they were safe broke that chain of thought.
I'm alive.
Yayoi-san risked her life to protect you.
I'm so glad.
Hey!
I'm going back.
Will you be alright by yourself?
I'm fine.
What a cold woman.
But who cares about that!
Yayoi-san, your legs!
Try standing up.
Come on.
I can stand...
I'm walking! I can walk!
How? I can't believe it!
Your emotions overcame your fears!
Yayoi-san, it's still too soon to-
When we get back, Kanako will be so happy...
...that something so wonderful happened.
Yayoi-san.
I see, so you want to find Arashi?
Yes, even a glimpse would be fine.
I guess guys from any era will fall for Arashi.
No! That's not it!
She's helped me a lot, and I'm just curious about what she's like in this era.
Oh, I see.
Hey, the factory isn't running.
Could today be...?
Are you familiar with this day?
Yayoi-san.
Good day. Good luck on your piano performance today.
Ah, thanks.
Oh, who's this?
Your acquaintance?
Um, yes. He's a relative.
He's here to see my piano performance today.
What a stylish boy.
It feels strange, though.
I feel like this isn't the first time we've met.
Arashi, that's inappropriate.
Sorry, sorry.
I'll see you later, Yayoi-san.
Okay!
The non-ghost Arashi-san is great too!
So today was the brown out. The day I had my performance!
Yayoi-san, is that the same performance that Arashi-san and Kaya-san sang in?
Yep.
I want to see it!
Let's go.
You'll have go by yourself, Yasaka-kun.
It's better if I don't go, since I would bump into the "me" from this era.
But..
This is an important day for Kanako and I.
If it wasn't for this day, we would never have become best friends.
Really?
Yep.
That's why I want you to have a look.
I'll be waiting for you at that hill later.
Don't worry, I've already experienced many great things today.
Okay!
So he does like her.
Is this it?
It's about to start.
Everyone, thank you for coming today.
I don't know how many more of these performances we can do, but I will sing my best, so please enjoy.
Yayoi-san?
Spring it may be called, cold winter winds blow.
The valley's nightingales want to sing.
Bright, powerful and warm.
Their voices wrapped the audience with these feelings.
But regardless of time, no sound is made.
Even during the dark times of war, I couldn't feel a sliver of darkness in Arashi-san's voice.
Kaya-san's voice had a hint of sadness, but somewhere within that, I felt a strong will.
But regardless of time, no sound is made.
Is Yayoi-san worried about Kanako?
Damn, where the hell is Kanako...?
There!
What are you doing, Kanako? Hurry up and get inside!
Damn it.
Kanako! You're late, Kanako!
Yamazaki-san?
Yamazaki-san came here?
As the ice thaws, the reeds grow.
That's unusual.
This must be time, returning as imagined.
Today, and yesterday...
That was wonderful.
I fell in love listening.
I hope another brown out will come soon.
Arashi-san is the best! I've fallen for her even more.
Thanks for earlier.
Eh?
Uh, I mean...
I'm sorry for saying those awful things to you.
I guess I'm still immature.
No, I am too!
If you don't mind, would you like to chat later?
T-That's fine.
Yay! Thank you!
I see, so that's how it happened.
How was it, Yasaka-kun?
It was an amazing performance!
Thank you.
Yayoi-san, I figured it out.
The reason Kanako came to the performance.
It's because you saved her earlier.
If you didn't risk your life to save her, then she might have died today.
But because you saved her, history played out the way it should have.
Yayoi-san, your friendship with Kanako-san was born because of you.
Yayoi!
Kanako!
Why are you here?
Wait, are you saying you connected with Glasses-san?
Impossible, this is a dream!
Yayoi, your legs!
Yep!
See, I can walk now!
I can help you from now on.
Sorry I made you worry.
And thank you, Kanako!
Hey, let's go back.
I did what I came to do.
Yayoi?
There was a purpose for our unique bodies.
A very important one.
I'm so happy that I was able to fulfill that purpose.
So I'm fine now.
I'll be fine no matter what happens to us.
I see. I understand.
Let's go back.
I'm bored.
Doesn't anyone have any interesting stories?
Um, I read a book the other day.
What was it called?
Unfortunately, I forgot the title.
Tell us what it was about.
Okay.
Give me a second, I'm recalling it.
It was a terrifying story about a young girl!
Glass Mask!
Arashi!
Arashi-san!
Arashi, a terrifying young girl!
When you think of summer...
Camping!
And at night, a campfire!
Melt the marshmallows, add some chocolate and sandwich them between crackers.
That sounds good, too.
Get up bright and early again tomorrow!
Natsu no Arashi!
Get up bright and early next time!
