Sakunoshin, when am I leaving?
9 o'clock departure, miss.
I am told that the master will be arriving there directly.
The afternoon inspection would have been enough.
I am not decoration for my father.
Oh?
Yui-san.
It's an invitation from Kaori-san.
Call it extracurricular activity on your day off.
I'm confident we can change the past and future
Hope to be with you even after rebirth... Rebirth
As today becomes the past, tomorrow comes closer
And this ordinary fact of life cuts me to the quick
The "world" we saw that day, let's recreate it once more
If a day will come when it comes true, I don't need anything else
No matter who mocks me that there isn't a chance in the world
The fate that comes back around over and over, until I can see the next you
No matter what that path's like, I'll never, ever give up
"See you again tomorrow," it's that "future"
To make sure I never lose that
Because I want to dream with you of the beginning without end
Don't let go of these hands joined together
I'm confident we can change the past and future
Hope to be with you even after rebirth
I'm confident we can change

Sleepy.
Sheesh. Are there any mornings that you're not sleepy, Prez?
How many hours did you get last night?
Three hours?
Jennifer would always say that lack of sleep is the archenemy of beauty.
Oh, my dear Jennifer!
That silky skin of yours! I wanna touch you!
Thanks for the advice.
Oh, this is it.
Huh? R-Right.
Okay, I'm off.
But Airi-chan and the others will be here soon.
Some bigwigs are coming to inspect today.
Welcome, Airi-chan.
Oh, Shiori-san, it's been a while.
Are you headed out?
I am. Working on my day off.
Um, are you Kenny-kun?
Y-Yes.
Who is it?
Shiori-san. Kaori's mother.
Really?! Not her sister?!
Welcome. Airi-chan. Kenny-kun.
I'm sorry about this. It's not every day that you come to visit.
Not at all, please think nothing of it.
Well, make yourselves at home.
--See you later. --Take care.
Hey, you're here.
Yo, Sou.
Then, shall we begin?
Here, I bought these. Milk and eggs and butter.
"Pasture Butter"
Right, thank you.
That's all you need?
Yeah, I got the rest ready.
Sweets for the school festival, huh.
What kind of sweets are you going to make?
We have to make everything the day before,
so it'll be simple baked sweets and stuff,
but if we're doing this anyhow, I think I'd like to go sophisticated.
Agreed.
If they're homemade by Kaori-chan,
I think that alone should get fans to come swarming.
Isn't the main attraction the planetarium?
The café is the afterthought, right?
They're both main attractions.
Nothing could be better if the sweets we serve are tasty, too, right?
That's true, but...
Can you even make sweets in the first place?
How rude! I may not look it, but I've got nimble fingers, you know.
It's just that I've never done this.
Listen closely to what Kaori tells you.
What's that supposed to mean?
Then, let's get cooking already.
Okay.
But Kaori, is your wrist injury okay?
Oh, yeah.
It's fine, as long as I'm just doing normal things.
Don't push it.
Thank you.
Oh, yeah, Yui said she'd be coming later, too.
Furukawa will be?
Yeah.
It sounds like Nagisa-san is busy and won't be making it, though.
Looks like things are going to get rowdy.
Will Yui-chan be able to find our place okay?
I e-mailed a map to Nagisa-san, just to be safe.
Do we really need to go to the trouble of making this ourselves?
An off-the-shelf unit would work well enough for a planetarium, right?
You moron.
Then the sweets could be store-bought, too,
and there'd be no need for us.
Yeah, true.
But more like, I'm tired!
It hasn't even been half an hour!
This kind of quiet work isn't my thing.
Well, I wasn't counting on getting help to start with anyway.
What are you doing?
Treasure!
Get!
Oh! Wait...
It's all good, right, my friend?
Sou-kun. Kenny-kun.
The first batch is out of the oven, so we want you to taste-test them.
Oh, Kaori!
I see! They're done?
What are you doing?
Nothing!
--Taking a break! --Stretch!
Oh...
Yui-chan.
Hello.
Scones!
These look good!
We just finished baking test batch number one.
It smells good.
Yui-chan, you taste-test them, too. I'll go make some tea.
Did you walk here?
Yes. The weather was fine, so it was good for photosynthesis as well.
You mean sun-bathing, right?
So close!
If only Nagisa-san were here, we'd have the whole gang.
It seems Nagisa-san will be coming later as well.
She is?
It's good!
Hey! What're you doing eating without permission?!
Huh? Aren't we taste-testing?
What you're doing is just sneaking food!
--No more for you! --No!
It's okay. There's plenty more.
Kaori-chan, you're an angel.
And what am I?
Demon.
Here, Kenny-kun.
Thanks!
What do you think?
It's good.
It is delicious.
Excellent, if I do say so myself.
Kaori did most of the work anyway, right?
I sifted the flour and used the molds and stuff, too!
This'll be a must-get item at the Astronomy Club.
All right, this one definitely goes on the menu,
but it'd be nice to have a couple more items.
I'm thinking of trying to bake some cookies next.
Sounds good.
Yui-chan, will you help, too?
Oh, yes.
Okay, you're good.
Yui-chan, do you know how to cook?
I...
Maybe she doesn't remember.
Oh, right. I'm sorry.
Oh, no...
Then, I'll teach you.
Okay.
For that, you use it like this.
Are you going to make holes for the constellations with that?
Yeah.
Subtly different sized holes reproduce the magnitude of the stars.
I have to be careful.
About how many holes are you going to make?
Let me think...
They say that several thousand stars are visible to the naked eye, so...
Jesus! That's stupid.
Hey...
About how long until they're done?
About 13-14 minutes, I think?
Um, Sasaki-san.
Hm?
Could I have a moment later?
There is something I want to talk to you about.
What?
What's this? Something you can't talk about in front of me?
Oh, um...
Well, could it wait until those come out of the oven?
What is it? Tell me.
Um, then, later.
What?
Woohoo!
The line of this model's hip is exactly like Jennifer's!
Oh!
What's wrong, Sou?
Shoot. I made Shaula too big.
General ballpark is good enough, right? No one'll care about that.
No some guy with an uncommon interest in stars might just...
Jennifer...
If only I had some better tools.
I want to reproduce the colors, too...
Jennifer...
Yup. These are done just perfectly.
They be smellin' mighty fine.
Looks-wise, it's another story.
Well, they're the first ones, after all.
Mm, delicious!
Oh? Where's Yui-chan?
No idea. Bathroom, maybe?
I will be sure to return it to you later.
Oh, Yui-chan.
The cookies are done. Try them.
They are good.
I'm glad.
Hey, Yui-chan said they're good, too.
I'm going to have one more, too.
Yeah, I'm glad they turned out well.
No kidding.
I'm done over here.
Thanks.
As for this, I guess I'll just have to do it myself.
Test batch number two is done.
Woohoo! I've been waiting for this!
The shapes are kind of all over the place...
I told you they're a test batch, didn't I? Here.
R-Right.
How are things on your end?
It'll be mostly done today.
Hey, don't step there.
Whoops!
--Your room is as boring as ever. --Delicious!
You try one, too.
Later.
Sheesh. Here.
It's good.
Right?
Let's see...
Got it.
Sasaki-san, do you have feelings for Akiyama-san?
Wh-Wh-Why are you suddenly asking me that?
If things stay like this and the future...
If this life were to continue on,
I wonder what would become of you two.
Wh-Wh-Who knows. Sou-kun and I are just childhood friends, after all...
Yui-chan?
Yui-chan, could it be that...
Sasaki-san.
Wh-Wh-What?
We were close to running out of tea in the club room.
We will need to resupply.
O-Oh, that's right. You have a good memory.
Kaori!
Oh, Airi-chan's back.
Sou says he's going shopping for supplies.
Shopping for supplies?
Yeah, there are a couple things I want to get.
I thought I'd pop out.
Then, let's go together.
Let's go!
"Nanso Bus" "Sakaue" "Bus Stop"
I want to try making more different kinds of sweets, too,
so I need to buy ingredients.
If you'd told me what you needed, I would've bought them for you.
It's fun to go shopping with everyone, too.
We'll be going to the underground grocery section.
We're looking for miscellaneous items, so...
Upstairs, I guess?
Uh... Oh, wait.
"Daily Goods Section" "Miscellaneous Goods Section"
Kenny-kun, would you help us with our stuff?
I still can't carry heavy things, so...
OK!
What are you going to buy so much of?
Well, all kinds of things.
In exchange, Yui-chan, you take care of things with Sou-kun.
What?
"10 Year Anniversary!!"
Watch him to make sure he doesn't waste any money.
What am I, a child?
Um, Sasaki-san, do not forget the resupply of tea I mentioned earlier...
I know.
"Baking Powder" "Fluffy"
Why did you put those two together?
What? There was no real meaning behind it...
Is that the tea you're so particular about
that we always have in our club room?
"Coffee" "Half Off"
Yeah, we were close to running out.
If Yui-chan hadn't mentioned it,
I would've had to come out again to get it.
I see...

Furukawa, sorry to keep you waiting.
Sorry to make you come with me.
Did you find something interesting?
No, I did not.
Oh, okay...
Hey.
Want me to carry that?
Yeah, thank you.
Sou, that looks good.
Mind letting me have a bite?
Order one for yourself.
No money...
Then, deal with it.
You can have one of mine.
--Oh, Prez! Thanks so, so very, very, very much! --It's fun when we're all together, isn't it?
--Okay, okay already. --Yes.
"Pasture Butter"
What are we making next?
I think we'll try baking a pound cake.
Sounds good! Great idea!
What are you doing here?
The part I'm in charge of is done.
I'll be in charge of taste-testing over here.
Just how hungry are you?
I'm in my growing phase.
--Oh, you can't have these! --Um...
Then, I will go help Akiyama-san.
--You can go, but there won't be anything for you to do. --No, you go, Yui-chan.
Okay, that's looking good.
Oh...
Furukawa.
I thought I might help out in some way...
You really love the stars, don't you?
Yeah.
Why is that?
Oh, I wonder about that...
The stars I saw as a kid
were really beautiful and I remember being in awe, but...
Have you ever heard?
The starlight that we see from the Earth's surface
is really ancient light.
It comes from far across space, taking a long, long time to travel.
It's light that finally made its way here.
The distance between the Andromeda Galaxy and Earth
is 2.39 million light-years.
What we're seeing is 2.39 million-year-old light.
I can't even begin to imagine
time or distance on the order of 2.39 million years.
Try shining a light from behind using this.
How about that?
I haven't put in the colors yet, though.
These are the constellations of summer, aren't they?
You can tell?
Yes.
Come to think of it, Furukawa,
have you remembered anything since then?
Well, not that there's any rush.
You'll remember eventually.
A face in profile...
A certain person's face in profile... I remember that.
The person in profile is smiling, but seems very sad.
Is that person someone close to you or something?
Is it... someone close to me?
I don't know...
But it must be someone you have a deep connection with.
Why do you say that?
Because you looked sad talking about it just now, too.
That may be true.
I think that person must be very precious to me.
I see.
Okay, first, second, and third magnitude stars are all done!
Furukawa. Furukawa.
Sou.
What?
I am Yui.
Please call me Yui.
Like you always do.
Wait... A-Are you half asleep?
I...
A-Anyway, once we do a rough assembly,
want to go check the others out? Yui...
Okay.
What the?
Huh? Did Kaori come by?
Tasty! It's good!
That's all you've been saying.
Yeah, it's good.
Yes!
Then, which should we do in the end?
Hmm...
Like them all!
I like everything!
That's an option, too.
But that'll be a lot of work.
That's where... we'll be counting on you!
Airi-chan...
When you get down to it,
do you think some planetarium is going to get customers in the door?
Ultimately, the only things any of us are banking on
are your cosplay and homemade sweets.
I don't know if the president of the Astronomy Club
should be saying that...
Oh?
I guess even you have decent things to say once in a while, Kenny-san.
Nagisa-san!
Wow, that's Kaori-san for you.
They all look so good.
Um, I helped out, too, you know...
Please taste-test them, too, Hanamiya-senpai.
Oh, it's the Senpai.
Well, then...
Hey, there.
You done with whatever you were doing?
Yes. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to be of any use.
For some reason, it's scary hearing that coming from Nagisa-kun.
Well, I had to come get Yui-san as well, so...
You came at the perfect time.
It's still not final, but the planetarium is done.
Wow, so it's done!
Okay, I'm turning out the lights.
Wow!
Fantastic!
Wow, this is amazing.
You made this, Sou-san?
Well, Kenny built the base
and Yui helped out towards the latter half, too.
Yui? Why are you suddenly on a first-name basis?
I-It doesn't really... matter, doesn't it?
I'm suspicious...
N-Never mind that. Look at the stars!
Uh, look, right around there is the Summer Triangle.
The star nerd in his element.
Vega in the Summer Triangle looks whitish,
but Antares of Scorpius in the southern skies of summer
is called a red supergiant and it shines red.
As for why there are these various colors,
it's the difference in surface temperatures.
Antares is roughly 3,500 degrees.
White Vega is 9,500 degrees.
Incidentally,
our sun's surface temperature is about 6,000 degrees and...
Yui?
Oh, yes?
What's wrong?
No, nothing...
Uh, okay.
Thanks for your help today.
I've still only gotten up to the third magnitude stars,
but it looks like we'll manage by the school festival.
I had fun, too.
Y-Yeah?
Well, the hard part's still to come, though.
Making holes for the even smaller fourth and fifth magnitude stars
puts us close to 3,000, after all.
The magnitude is determined by brightness,
but there's the actual brightness and the observed brightness,
which are called absolute magnitude and apparent magnitude, but...
This planetarium uses the apparent magnitude, more or less.
Evening twilight, on the way home
We walk, side-by-side
The orange-colored sky
Enveloped the town
I love you
I worked up my courage to lay my feelings bare
What kind of response will you have for me?
The things that can't be changed, I want to change for good
In search of the time that was lost
That season I spent with you
"I'll see you again tomorrow, right?"
Surely...
I miss you
May it reach the future
Until we meet someday
...been weird since morning.
Did you touch her boobs?!
What are you doing?
...in such a hurry?
Ten more minutes...
Kaori's not around?
You can't come this way!
See you again tomorrow.
