Hey, Hase-kun...
I want to go to the beach.
Huh? The beach?
Well, I guess I wouldn't mind going with you...
Great!
I've always wanted to play on the beach with friends.
Yeah, the beach is nice.
It's great.
Do you think Kiryu-kun and Saki-chan would come
if I invited them?
Them, too?
Shogo's pretty lazy,
and I don't know how to reach Yamagishi-san...
Oh.
I'm too embarrassed to go with you on my own, so maybe another time...
Right! Let's invite them!
Yeah.
Their Relationship Up to Now
As we held hands in front of the ticket gate,
A new breeze joined the usual background noise.
The wind feels nice today...
Yeah.
What's wrong?
I was supposed to send you off cheerfully,
A mosquito bit me.
but unable to smile, I just looked at you...
It's been a long road...
It'll stop the itching.
It seems like you've been itching a lot lately, so I brought some.
Th-Thanks.
No problem.
#8 The Beach with Friends.
Anyway, you'll come to the beach, won't you?
It's hot. Don't want to.
Don't be like that!
Fujimiya-san's looking forward to it...
Please!
First it's leave us alone. Now it's come with us.
Put yourself in the shoes of the guy you're pushing around.
Yeah, but don't you like sticking your nose in my business?
Take it too far, and I really will abandon you.
I'm s-sorry!
By the way,
do you know how to reach Yamagishi-san?
Huh? Why would I know?
We want to invite Yamagishi-san, but I have no way to contact her.
Since you went to elementary school with her,
I thought you might know.
Now that you mention it...
I think I still have my elementary school class directory.
Way to go, Shogo! I can count on you!
Thanks for—
The beach with Kaori-chan and you guys?
Hooray! I'll go!
Anyway, that's that.
See you tomorrow.
Oh, I do have one favor to ask.
What?
I don't want to forget.
Could you call me in the morning?
Thanks.
I'm always getting pushed around...
Come to think of it, how did he know my number?
Well, whatever.
I was so excited, I didn't sleep much last night.
What are you, a kid before a field trip?
Good morning, Hase-kun.
Fujimiya-san!
I was so excited last night, I couldn't fall asleep.
They're just the same.
It's been a while, Kiryu-kun.
Thank you both for coming today.
No, thanks for inviting us.
Yamagishi-san's the last one.
I hope she didn't forget...
No, I called her before I left home.
Kaori-chan...
I missed you!
S-Saki-chan?
Since summer vacation started,
I realized we wouldn't see each other for a while.
I've been so lonely...
I hope you'll give me lots of attention today.
Um, okay.
Good to see you two boys again, too.
Do you still not remember our names?
I don't think she intended to in the first place.
Come on, let's go!
Okay.
Hey, wait...
You forgot your bag!
Over here, you two!
We made it...
We almost got on the wrong train.
Why is it so tiring just to catch a train?
Hurry, hurry.
Wait.
We had to get up early today,
so I thought you might have skipped breakfast.
You're welcome to have some.
Hooray!
All right!
I'm actually really hungry.
Eat up.
I will. Thanks.
Delicious!
Kaori-chan, you really are good at cooking...
Thanks.
Is something wrong?
You eat your octopus wieners feet-first.
Huh?
You're right. He left the head part.
It was in my diary,
but you really do eat them feet-first.
Y-You wrote about that in your diary?
But why feet-first?
I guess it seems awkward to eat them head-first.
Fujimiya-san made them, so it feels like a waste not to.
I'm glad to hear that.
You...
It's the ocean.
I can't believe it started raining the moment we got to the beach.
How disappointing.
Oh, well. Let's go home.
Man... Why are we so unlucky?
I thought we could swim in the ocean.
In this rain, it can't be helped.
Yeah, going in the water is too dangerous.
I'm being blown away...
Especially for her.
That really does look dangerous.
Then let's play on the beach.
Come on, Kaori-chan.
Ah, wait...
Let's make a sand castle.
Isn't the sand too wet?
Those two are like children.
But if Fujimiya-san's having fun, that's all that matters.
We're totally their chaperones.
Done.
Seriously?
That's amazing, Saki-chan.
Hey, let's play with this ball next.
Hase-kun, here we go!
Hey, wait! The wind...
It's drifting away.
I told you so...
Here, your ball.
Thanks.
Hase-kun, you're soaked! Are you okay?
I don't even care anymore.
It's summer, anyway.
Here, a towel!
You should dry off quickly, or you'll catch a cold.
Th-Thanks.
This is the correct way to hand someone a towel!
What was that for?!
Just pulling your face back together.
You're so mean, you jerk!
What are you doing?
Don't run from me!
Salt Ramen
Let's wait in here for the rain to let up.
This is the first time I've been in an arcade!
Huh? Really?
Is there anything you'd like to try?
I'll show you how to play.
Well...
I want to try this!
I'm not very good at crane games,
but I have to show her what I'm made of.
Hase-kun, you can do it.
Th-This time, I'll get it.
I almost had it.
So close...
Crane games are really difficult, huh?
Thank you.
That was amazing, Kiryu-kun!
I got lucky.
Why, you...
What should we do next?
I wanna play a shooting game.
Shogo's good at shooting games.
Kaori-chan, want to take some pictures?
Yeah, I've always wanted to.
Then let's take one together.
Are you sure?
Of course! Right, Shogo?
No, I'm good.
Shogo wants to take one, too.
Please insert coins.
Here goes. Smile, everyone.
Here we go! Three, two, one!
Come on, over here...
It came out pretty good.
Shogo really can't smile...
Is something wrong, Fujimiya-san?
We're All Friends!
You, Saki-chan, and Kiryu-kun are there.
I just feel
really lucky to get to spend summer vacation with everyone.
Fujimiya-san...
I love this picture.
I'll treasure it.
Looks like the rain stopped.
The ocean's beautiful.
Yeah, and there's no wind, either. It feels nice.
Oh, sorry... I'm getting hungry.
Why don't we sit and eat lunch here?
Yeah!
We ate our lunch for breakfast, so should we go buy something?
Let's decide who'll go.
Okay, let's use rock-paper-scissors.
Why?
It's your fault for suggesting rock-paper-scissors.
See you later.
See you.
Hey, what do you like about Kaori-chan?
Huh? Wh-Where did that come from?
Her face? Her personality?
Nothing in particular.
I don't feel anything weird like that toward Fujimiya-san...
I genuinely want to be her friend, that's all!
Oh? Really?
I hug her all the time, so I know
she has quite a bust.
Huh?!
It's too bad we couldn't go in the water.
Hey, Yamagishi-san... Don't tease me!
What should we get?
Let's just get a bunch of stuff.
Yeah, you're right.
You aren't so afraid of me anymore.
Hey, Fujimiya...
How do you feel about him?
You mean Hase-kun?
Yeah.
How? He's an important friend to me.
Yeah, I'm sure he is...
Now that you mention it...
The other day...
I had a strange feeling when I saw
Hase-kun talking to someone else.
I wonder what it was.
You mean another girl?
Yeah, how did you know?
How? That's...
No, never mind.
Is this all we need to get?
Um...
This, too.
Thanks for waiting!
Welcome back.
We found something fun, so we bought some!
Ta-da.
Fireworks
When it gets darker, let's light some fireworks.
All right!
This shell is beautiful.
There's a big one over here.
At first, I didn't know how it would work out,
but I'm glad Fujimiya-san seems to be enjoying herself.
Are you sure this is what you want?
Huh? What do you mean?
Maybe you should push a bit more.
Huh?
Hase-kun, are you having fun?
Oh... Yeah, lots!
Guess what? We found a hermit crab.
It was this big!
Yeah, right.
It's true... It's over here.
Hey... Want to go for a walk?
A Warning Has Been Issued
I've been smiling all day today!
If I'd known it would be like this, I'd have invited everyone to the beach sooner.
Me, too.
I wonder why I never managed to say it.
Maybe I'll go in the water a little.
Huh?
You come, too!
The ocean is nice.
If it hadn't rained, it would have been better.
I like the rain, as well.
I also love the ocean and the sunset.
Fujimiya-san...
I hope I don't forget today...
A hot summer.
A hot night.
The fireworks flickered.
The heat doesn't seem ready to let up anytime soon.
Hase-kun?
Will you share your flame with me?
Oh, sure.
It's beautiful.
I got to see the ocean, play on the beach,
go to an arcade for the first time, and light fireworks.
I've never had such a fulfilling summer vacation.
A fulfilling summer vacation?
That's just what happened in one day.
You're right.
They went out.
Hase-kun, I...
I like...
fireworks.
Fireworks are great... Yeah...
Lately, I've wanted to use the word "like."
I wonder why that is...
It's so hot.
I wanted to stay in Hokkaido until it cooled down more.
We'll have to unpack tomorrow.
Well, come inside.
I'm back in Tokyo...
Last Day with Friends.
