The fact that the two of us met that day...
I wonder what many miracles...
...happened in the world before it?
Who should I thank for it?
Ah, I'm sure that your future...
...will be suited for me.
There are nights that I can't say as much, and I feel like crying.
Eternity, eternity, even past it, the colors don't fade.
I wait in the wind under the sky.
If I believe, if I believe, your smile...
...will become a flower for me... I'm sure.
The season is summer!
Summer means beaches!
Beaches mean swimsuits!
And so it's common sense for girls...
...to have that one special swimsuit just in case!
Is that so?
Don't take her seriously, Aoi-sama.
Well then, let's go!
I hope they have cute swimsuits.
Doesn't this excite you, Miyabi-san?
I do not need a swimsuit.
Why is that?
Miss Landlord?
Whatcha doing?
I apologize.
What were you doing, Miss Landlord?
Episode 16 Shores
I wonder which swimsuit Hanabishi-sama will like...
This one is good...
But I'm kind of drawn to this one...
Miss.
A beautiful girl like you will look better in a swimsuit like this one.
Oh, thank you.
Now Hanabishi-sama's heart will definitely be mine.
My, what a wonderful design.
This simple design will enhance my beauty...
Wait, why is this a school swimsuit?
Hello, Mayu-san.
Are you buying a swimsuit, too?
You look great in that.
Just like I expected.
Kids don't need much more than that.
Excuse me, don't get in my way!
What, I took time to help you out!
I'm saying that was unnecessary!
Oh, I'm so sorry about that!
Excuse me...
Since you may trouble the other customers...
...why don't you all try suits on together?
That's true.
Oh no, I am not...
- I'll take it on! - I'll take it on!
How's this? An adult's charm!
This'll make me the heroine at the beach!
That's tasteless.
This is elegant in comparison.
Every eye at the beach will be on me!
This looks awesome!
This one is cuter!
It's this one if you want sexy.
It's obvious that this one is better!
Not bad...
Neither are you.
What? This is the only one?
I'm terribly sorry.
Considering your size, miss...
I see...
But it looks great on you.
I envy the man who'll go to the beach with you.
W-Why is Senpai...
No, no, no, no, no!
That's not really the case!
I'm so embarrassed!
The beach...
It would be so much fun to go alone with Kaoru-sama...
Summer is nothing without cracking a watermelon open...
Kaoru!
Well? Don't I look better?
Of course, Mayu looks tons better, right, Hanabishi-sama?
Um, why am I a part of this...
U-Um...
I think all of you look great.
Kaoru!
Hanabishi-sama!
By the way, Minazuki-san...
...there's a postcard from your grandmother.
From Grandma?
I bought it...
I wonder if it will look good on me...
The beach!
Miss Landlord, the beach, the beach!
Beach, beach, beach, beach, beach!
- Splash! Beach, beach, beach! - She's so noisy...
Is something the matter?
Oh, Aoi-chan. Actually...
Tae's grandmother sent a postcard!
This one.
Wow, what a beautiful place!
This is a beach house that my grandma runs.
A beach house?
And Grandma wrote...
Taeko-chan, visit again this year. Grandma
The beach, the beach, the beach!
She really is restless.
You're saying that in that outfit?
Jeez, look at whose head is in the clouds.
Right, Miss Manager?
Miss Manager?
O-Oh, t-that's right...
It's good we came, Aoi-chan.
Yes, really.
Tae-neechan!
It really is you!
Tae-neechan!
Chika-chan.
It's been a while!
I've been wanting to see you, Tae-neechan!
You're as spirited as always.
Did you grow a little bit again?
I actually grew 5 cm in the past year!
- Yeah! - I see...
Oh, introductions.
This is...
Chika Minazuki, her cousin.
- Nice to meet you! - Nice to meet you, Chika-chan.
So this is your boyfriend, Tae-neechan?
C-C-C-C-Chika-chan!
K-Kaoru-sama is, well, um...
N-No, Senpai is...
What's this girl talking about?
Hanabishi-sama is someone dear to me!
Your boyfriend really is a popular guy!
I'm telling you that's not it!
Beach House Waves
Tae-neechan is here!
Grandma!
Oh my, nice of you to come all this way.
You've become just like a foreigner, Tae-chan.
Girls sure do change a lot when you don't see them for a while.
Grandma, I'm over here.
Just joking.
It'll be lively this year with so many friends.
And you have your husband with you?
I can't take it anymore!
Kaoru, let's hit the beach!
- H-Hold on... - He's going to play with Mayu!
Here you go.
Thank you very much.
Tae-chan.
You don't have to help. Go play, Tae-chan.
But...
Your friends came out here too, so go have fun.
That's right!
Let's go play together, Tae-neechan!
- Well then... - Yay!
Come on, hurry, hurry!
Don't tug so hard...
Isn't this fun, Kaoru?
- You trying to kill me? - Whoa, I'm off flying!
Oh, Hanabishi-sama!
Mayu pulled a leg muscle!
H-Hey, don't wrap your legs around me...
But...
Hey! What are you doing?
- Now, now... - Are you getting in the way of Mayu's summer story?
- What about a summer story? Ridiculous! - Now, now...
- What was that? - Now, now...
- Mayu is more aggressive in the summer! - Now, now...
That's a pretty fierce battle.
Tae-neechan, you shouldn't lose to them.
I-I'm all right as is...
What's that? They'll steal your boyfriend!
I said that's not it!
It's okay. Hurry up.
D-Death...
I'm going to die...
I-I'm sorry, Tae-neechan.
It wasn't on purpose.
Yeah, I know...
I'm such a...
Hey, babe.
You here alone?
Wanna come play with us?
Um, uh, I'm...
Hey, it's all right. Let's go.
I-I'm not really...
She's got guys hanging off her again.
She just needs to tell them off.
I guess I have no choice.
Taeko-chan!
Senpai...
I brought a Frisbee.
Let's go play together.
Damn, she's with a guy.
On to the next chick.
Well, let's play together.
Sure!
Chika-chan!
Let's play together, Chika-chan!
Sure!
Aoi-sama.
Are you really all right like this, Aoi-sama?
You came all the way to the beach with Kaoru-dono...
Oh, I am all right.
- I did not even bring a swimsuit. - Is that so.
Ai Yori Aoshi
I lied to Miyabi-san...
But I am embarrassed to be in front of others in a swimsuit...
Please wait for me, Aoi-sama.
Let's enjoy summer together.
Wait! My summer!
I wish I could play like that without thinking so much...
Right, Uzume?
You fell asleep.
Chika-chan!
Surprised?
It's 'cause you were spaced out by yourself.
Here.
Thank you.
But it's no good.
So shy and unable to show true feelings well.
It makes me nervous just watching.
Y-You think so?
Yeah. Tae-neechan hasn't changed one bit from before.
It's about Taeko-san.
She has to be more aggressive.
Or she can't catch the heart of the person she really likes.
That was in a magazine.
In any case, you have to push forward in romance!
That is true.
Yeah!
The person you like, huh...
Are you all right, Aoi-chan?
Here, Kaoru-sama.
Thanks.
Sorry.
Tina threw it at full strength.
You're not going to swim?
Well...
I am embarrassed to show too much skin in front of others...
I see.
But that's a little disappointing.
I wanted to see you in a swimsuit, Aoi-chan.
Are you really all right like this?
You have to push forward!
Um, Kaoru-sama.
I won't let you win and run off!
A sweet yet hot summer story with Mayu is just beginning!
W-Well, that's not really the case here...
I won't let my summer slip away...
Waves
Here, Hanabishi-sama!
Say "ahh"!
I-It's all right. I can eat by myself.
Kaoru!
Don稚 just eat, let's drink some more!
The sake they make around here is pretty good!
More please!
That's the fourth bowl!
It's really yummy to eat with so many people.
Taeko-chan.
I'd like seconds, too.
S-Sure.
- Hanabishi-sama! - Kaoru!
Sure, sure.
Here, Senpai.
Thanks.
Here you go.
Tae, if he ate this much, he'd get a stomachache!
I'm sorry!
It's all right.
I'm hungry today.
Kaoru, you're so kind!
Tae-neechan, you're blushing!
- T-That's not true! - Thank you for the meal. - Kaoru!
- And a snack! - I will go take a bath. - Mayu wants pudding!
I wanted to see you in a swimsuit, Aoi-chan.
Why do I lack courage so much?
Miyabi-san...
Are you all right the way it is?
But...
I...
By the way, there apparently is a wonderful section of beach...
...that only the locals know about.
I hear that it's very romantic at night...
Well, it has nothing to do with me...
Miyabi-san!
But make sure not to come back too late.
Sure.
Jeez, don't party until you fall asleep...
Kaoru-sama.
Aoi-chan.
What's wrong, Aoi-chan?
U-Um...
What is it?
Well...
The beach...
The beach?
Would you like to go to the beach?
Ouch!
Go for it, Tae-neechan...
You have to push forward in romance!
Jeez, what is she dreaming?
This is Senpai's...
What is...
...this feeling?
I hear it is around here...
I wonder if we got lost?
It's beautiful.
Yes.
- Kaoru-sama? - What is it?
Just for a little while...
...will you look at me?
A-Aoi-chan...
W-What are you...
U-Um...
How do I look?
Um...
Kaoru-sama?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I was just entranced...
Well, um, you look so much better than what I expected...
My heart's racing so much...
I can't describe it well...
I am so glad that you like it, Kaoru-sama.
This afternoon, when I was watching everyone having fun...
...I was a little jealous.
But...
...I did not have the courage...
I apologize, Kaoru-sama.
Do you want to swim?
Come on, Aoi-chan.
But your swimsuit...
I'm fine.
- But... - Come on.
Hurry.
Sure!
Aoi-chan!
I guess I don't need this T-shirt anymore.
But, um...
Kaoru-sama!
It's all right.
Since you're the only one here...
...it's all right.
Me, too.
I can only look at you, Kaoru-sama.
Aoi-chan...
Kaoru-sama...
What is the weakest thing in this world?
Even so, it exists to protect the two.
Because there's as much of it as there are stars above.
I wanted to hear it from your voice.
So tell me it's love.
Tell me that it really is love.
Even if the two are like unknown flowers...
To fall in love...
To become very strong...
Because I want you to feel the same thing...
...a small, fragile love.
