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.
Sure.
It was about a scientist who indulged in technology.
The greatest scientific mind gave birth to a robot-
Tetsujin 28XX!
A robot to fulfill his own desires-
Giant RoXX!
And the scientist who planned it all-
MazingXX Z!
As a replacement for his beloved son,
the scientist created a weapon wielding, highly mobile and emotionally capable humanoid.
However, the robot failed to grow as a normal human-
AstXX Boy!
The scientist left a blueprint that his descendant used to create a new robot.
This robot had a phrase it would always say.
"I got it!"
Natsu no Arashi!

Let's go back, Kanako.
I did what I came to do.
Yayoi...
There was a very important purpose for our unique bodies.
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.
No matter how many years pass by...
...the summer heat is a thing that never changes.
So whenever this season comes around, I remember...
My thirteenth summer.
My days as a boy who knew nothing of the world.
Even now, within me, there are things that have never changed.
Will she really be cured?
Ghosts like us require a special energy called "life force."
Life force?
Yayoi and I have maintained our bodies by exchanging the small amount of power we had left.
If I return the life force I stole from Arashiyama-san...
Arashi-san...
Where am I?
What was I...?
All of you-
Arashi-san!
Hajime-chan?
Thank goodness! Thank goodness you're okay!
Hey, what's wrong, Hajime-chan?
She'll be fine now.
Fushimi-san?
Yamazaki-san?
Everyone, I'm sorry for all the trouble we caused.
We ended up hurting you in order to protect ourselves.
We must accept our punishment.
That's...
We've just about depleted our power of existence.
Don't worry, we're prepared for this.
Right, Yayoi?
Yes.
No, wait!
Thanks for everything, Hajime-chan.
I said wait!
Goodbye.
Hold on, you two!
Hajime-chan!
Jun.
We regained our existence...?
How?
That's because I'm connected with Hajime-chan.
If you connect with someone from this era, your dimming existence will return to normal.
What?
Maybe it's due to us becoming aware of our existence,
or because we're in contact with a source of life.
Does that mean we...?
If you find someone to connect with, you won't disappear.
Really?!
Leave it to the
flow of time
What a load of trouble.
If they went out and met people instead of hiding in that mansion, they would've known by now.
You can't expect someone protecting a girl in a wheelchair to be carefree like that.
Everything turned out fine, so what's the problem?
I see. Yayoi-chan and Yamazaki-san turned into ghosts after that day.
Yes, the next thing I knew, I was like this.
I never knew there were others like Arashi and I.
What happened was terrible, but I'm happy we're together again.
Yes, I'm really happy I could see Arashi-san and Kaya-san again!
I hope we get along from now on.
But we should look for someone you can connect with.
No need to worry, we'll take energy from that guy for now.
What? Hey, what are you talking-
It's not like you have any work.
We'll hire you as a servant at our mansion.
Don't kid yourself, why would I work for you-
What is it?
Weren't you going to become a hero who risks his life to save others?
Like Arashi-san.
How do you know that...
Are you saying the "Arashi" who saved my dad is...
You would never abandon dear Arashi-san's friends, would you now?
Well, that's settled then.
Wait.
Not yet.
Even though we caused you so much trouble, you still saved us.
We must pay you back as an apology.
There's no need to worry about it.
But we won't be satisfied like this.
Name anything.
Then how about this?
Um, this is...?
Repayment.
You'll work as waitresses here.
No way, why do we have-
You did say "anything."
You're pretty cute, Kanako.
You're quite the woman, Kanako.
It's cute, Yamazaki-san.
This is priceless.
By wearing cute clothes, you'll turn into a cute woman?
They say, "No woman is ugly if she's well-dressed,"
and "Even a homely girl is beautiful at the peak of her youth."
That scary girl's a waitress now? Now that's a sight!
THAT BURNS!!
What the hell was that for?!
You'd better not bully my girls.
That was way too harsh!
I'm Fushimi Yayoi.
Nice to meet you.
A new girl? You're gorgeous.
This place is full of rare, well-mannered girls, Master!
Just as I planned.
Welcome!
Yoko?
I had a shoot nearby, so I dropped in.
Wait, keep the fact that I'm a model a secret here.
Don't worry, I know.
Nice to meet you, I'm Himekawa Yoko.
Kamigamo Jun's girlfriend.
What?
Jun never tells me anything about his work,
so I was feeling a bit lonely and decided to come here.
Hey!
Learn from this.
It's your chance to truly be a boy.
Salt, please.
Unforgivable!
You were cheating on Kaya-san?
Uh, no, well...
Kaya-san, only you know that I'm a girl.
Please trick him somehow!
Oh, how terrible!
You weren't satisfied with me, and went after some young lady!
I believed in you...
Whilst I knew nothing, you were toying with my pure feelings!
No, that's not what I wanted you to do!
Salt, please.
You're awful! You were cheating on me?
Yoko!
You idiot!
I'm going to kill you, then commit suicide!
Salt, please! Salt!
A man should never make a woman cry!
I'll have to beat some sense into you!
Don't take them seriously, idiot!
And Yoko, stop bothering me at work. Just go home!
Hey, I'm still a customer.
They seem to be having a dispute.
It's just some love triangle. Leave them be.
But they helped us out, so as a friend, I have to do something.
Yayoi!
Excuse me...
Yes?
I don't mean to intrude,
but I believe it's better to be open-minded and calm when dealing with a gentleman.
What?
Especially with a lover.
Fussing over something carelessly will only worsen the situation.
Would you please restrain yourself?
That's no good.
What?
If you hold back as a girl,
your unhappiness will build up, and it'll end up ruining the relationship.
And by expressing yourself, you can enjoy your love even more!
What?
You'll only end up crying if you hold it in.
Also, telling them off will do them some good.
Anyway, one iced coffee please.
Salt here, please.
Yes.
Here you go.
S-Salt...
Kanako, calm down!
There's no need to feel depressed about this girl's babble!
But she's a customer!
Inconsiderate girls like her just piss me off!
You're the inconsiderate one!
Seriously, Yayoi-san is fine, but Kanako is way too violent.
They lived through a difficult time.
Arashi-san...
But meeting someone from the past feels really nostalgic.
Sometimes you act like a old lady, Arashi-san.
That's cold!
Oh I'm sorry, Hajime-chan.
I noticed you were acting young at times, but I guess it really does bother you.
That's cold!
Damn it!
That's cold!
You guys sure are energetic.
I'm sorry.
Please come inside. We'll dry your clothes right away.
Hey, you're...
Nice seeing you again.
Natsu no Arashi!
Dreams bloom at night~
I'm very sorry. I'll have it dried right away.
There's no need to worry, I'm finished working for today.
How careless. It's all because you two were fooling around.
Kaya-san, do you know that guy?
He seems to know Arashi-san,
so I thought maybe he was another ghost from your era.
No, I don't recall anyone like him.
I see.
So he's from the present.
So... You said you knew me?
My apologies.
I didn't mean to be so abrupt.
I've met you before.
Me?
I'm Yamashiro Takeshi.
Do you remember?
Yamashiro Takeshi?
How thoughtless. If you rush, you'll lose your target.
Oh, what a nice mood.
She may have been born in the past, but her body's still 16.
An age filled with love.
Arashiyama-senpai...
In love?
So innocent... Just the mention of love is embarrassing to you?
Oh, she's back.
Kitchen
Well, how was he?
You were having a nice long chat.
Yamashiro-san says he knows me.
As expected, Arashiyama-senpai! You were popular even at our all girl's school.
But I don't remember him.
Maybe it's an excuse to flirt with you.
How filthy, talking with a stranger like that.
So, what will you do?
Actually... He invited me on a date.
Did you accept, Arashiyama-senpai?
Well, I had no reason to refuse.
That's filthy! Don't listen to any more of this, Yayoi.
Is it really okay to be with people from the present like this?
There will be trouble if he finds out who you really are.
Yeah, but, how do I say it...
I can't leave him alone.
Look, Hajime-chan!
Apparently, I'm pretty sexy!
I won't let you call me "old lady" again!
Whatever, that's nothing.
Where are you going?
To clean the bathroom.
V!
You're going in that kimono?
If you asked, I would've lent you my best outfits.
Best outfits?
Really sexy ones.
Underwear included.
I think she made the right choice...
Are you ready, Arashi-san?
Yes. Well then, I'll be going.
I'm worried.
Oh, Arashiyama-senpai is so lovely!
She brings sunshine to every era! I adore her!
How lewd. Don't turn out like that, Yayoi.
Oh, where's Hajime?
He said he went shopping.
On his bike?
Yeah, his bike...
I haven't had a chance to enjoy the local scenery lately.
Is there anywhere you'd like to go?
Do you remember where you met me?
Yes, of course.
If it's alright, can we go there?
Sure. I actually wanted to take you there.
What am I trying to do?
Who cares, it's between us men.
I won't lose to you, damn it!
Whatever it takes!
You met me here?
I went into the sea at night.
Don't tell me... were you depressed about something?
No, there are just too many people during the day.
I was a bit smelly, and since I wanted to swim, I went into the sea with my clothes on.
But the waves were stronger than I thought.
I knew it was a bad idea, and I tried going back, but the tide kept carrying me away.
And there was no one nearby to hear my cries for help.
I was surrounded by the dark sea.
My strength was taken away by the waves, and I thought that was the end.
But that's when she saved me.
I had no idea how, but when I came to, I was on the beach being lectured.
You look exactly like her.
That girl from 10 years ago.
I know you're not the girl from 10 years ago,
but you look so much like her.
That's why I wanted to talk with you.
I see.
I'm sorry.
Not at all.
It was a great story.
I'm back.
Welcome back, Arashiyama-senpai!
So, how was it?
It was fun.
We went for a drive, then to the beach, then we ate and he dropped me off here.
That's great, Senpai. You're progressing well!
What unimaginable deeds.
Never do these things, Yayoi.
That's it?
Did he do anything weird?
No, he was nice.
That's why I wanted to lend you my best outfits.
Hey, what happened, Hajime-chan? Those wounds...
Hajime was reborn after throwing away his past woman.
Shut it. Don't talk to me.
Don't cry, half the world is female.
I'm not crying, and that doesn't matter.
Timing is everything for guys.
That was one fine guy, wasn't it?
I'll back off, but I'll still help you jump through time, Arashi-san.
I won't leave things unfinished, so don't worry.
Hey, Hajime-chan.
I realized something while I was with with that guy.
I've never met him before.
But, in his past, I saved him.
So I figured...
"Ah, he's someone I'm going to save in the future."
But the only way to learn the details was to be close to him.
So that's why you went on the date.
How boring.
Sorry for making you worry, Hajime-chan.
I knew that the whole time!
I believed in you, Arashi-san!
Look, an idiot.
I want to save him. Will you jump with me, Hajime-chan?
It can't be helped.
Damn that guy, causing us trouble.
Here we go, Arashi-san!
Yeah!
What a day.
Yeah, but everything turned out fine.
I'm happy.
For Yamashiro-san and for us.
Being together like this makes it seem like we're back in our time.
This place hasn't changed at all.
Yes, it's as if the shop itself went back in time.
But it was Hajime-chan who brought us all together.
Arashi-san!
Master's having a welcoming party.
Oh, how nice of her.
She just wants a reason to drink and party.
Sounds just like her.
Boys do grow up in the summer, after all.
Come on, Arashi-san!
It's cute how he doesn't even realize it.
Yeah, I'm coming!
How are you feeling,
Yayoi?
How are you feeling, Yayoi?
I'm doing very well,
Kanako.
I'm doing very well, Kanako.
I see, that's good to hear.
I read another interesting book.
Oh, what was it called?
It was... Ah, I seem to have forgotten the title.
Could you tell us what it was about?
Yes, I'd be happy to.
It was a story about jumping through time.
A young lady met a young man after sixty long years.
The young lady led the young man through dangers and adventures.
My, what a heart-pounding tale.
The narrator had a phrase he would always say.
What was it? Do tell.
No matter how many years pass by...
...the summer heat is a thing that never changes.
So whenever this season comes around, I remember...
My thirteenth summer.
My days as a boy who knew nothing of the world.
Even now, within me, there are things that have never changed.
When you think of summer...
Snow cones!
If you eat them too fast, you'll get brain freeze.
You'll be fine if you drink water.
Oh, the knowledge of the elderly!
What did you say!?
Get up bright and early again tomorrow!
