During summer vacation, the four of us are going to take...
seminars at the music festival in Nagano as Stresemann ordered.
I planned to go there by myself peacefully...
Hey, buddy!
Come with us!
Be quiet! Don't sing different songs at the same time!
Chiaki!
Chiaki, we're here. Chiaki, wake up!
Oh... Already?
Huh?
What is this place?
This is... beach!
Hey!
How come Nagano has... seaside?
This is Niigata prefecture. We're at a public beach on the Sea of Japan.
Niigata!!??
Did you take the Kanetsu Highway!?
Surprised, Chiaki?
The beach is a great idea, isn't it? We can get to Nagano by nightfall, right?
Yeah, we're on summer vacation.
C'mon, Chiaki. Change into your swimsuit. Let's go into the sea.
You brought a suit, right?
So, bring your swimsuit to the seminar.
Please don't.
You all...
Why should I bring that!!
Okay then.
I've got a spare. You can use this.
I don't want it!
I really hate the ocean! You wanna swim? Then go and swim without me!
What!? You don't like the ocean?
Oh, you don't? Mr. Chiaki?
Why not!? It's really fun.
They don't know... I can't take flying or sailing...
No... I can't tell them.
What will they do, if they find out about my weak point?
Sunburn...
What?
I don't want to get a sunburn.
Because my skin is weak.
I'm not supposed to get exposed to ultraviolet rays. The doctor told me so.
I see, Chiaki. I didn't know that.
Mr. Chiaki... even your skin is delicate.
So I can't join you guys but go ahead and have fun!
Okay, we'll see you later at the beach stand.
We'll be back after a quick swim!
Hey, watch my beautiful swimming!
Why am I here?
The ocean... it brings back a lot of bad memories...
Oh, Mine...
Aren't you swimming?
No! I wanna get a tan this year!
I want to have a healthy and manly tan!!
Actually his skin is really pale, isn't it?
He looks like white asparagus grown underground.
Oh, no.
His nipples are pink.
That was unexpected. What a typical music student, right?
That's why he wants to be "healthy and manly".
Leave me alone!
Hey! How far are you going, Nodame!?
Oh no! I didn't mean to go this far...
I'm scared! Go back to the beach! Please!
This is nothing!
There you go!
Don't be stupid.
I want to swim with Chiaki too...
Whoah!
"Couldn't sleep last night because he was so excited."
The smell of the sea...
The sound of waves...
No...
I am at a Zen temple in Nagano, not at a beach, no matter what people say!
Hello, Chiaki!
Damn!
There he is!
Mr. Chiaki.
I'm starving.
Mr. Chiaki, did you get anything to eat, yet?
Nodame is having a rice ball and curry rice!
See no evil...
Oh, will you order my udon noodles too?
See no evil...
Is Ryutaro still sleeping?
Hear no evil...
Chiaki
Chiaki, why don't you enjoy the sea just a little bit?
Nodame wants to have some fun with you.
Hear no evil!
Zen temple in Nagano, Zen temple in Nagano...
I know. Mr. Chiaki, how about putting on some sunscreen?
...and dabbling in water?
...in Nagano...
Mine's spare swimsuit, please put it on.
Oh, yes!
No way!
Okay then how about renting a boat and sailing to that small island over there?
Sailing to an island by boat?
Oh! That's a great idea!
No... not me! Why don't you two go ahead?
C'mon. I want you to go with us.
You don't have to wear a suit to ride in a boat. Unfortunately...
What if the boat sinks!?
Oh...
Chiaki... Are you...
...unable to swim?
Ah...
Oh!? Are you like a stone in the water!?
Damn!
Not like that! I... I'm... I'm just not able to handle any kind of tan so...
The strongest sunscreen lotion!!
The strongest hat!!
With these you'll be fine!!
There you go, Mr. Chiaki.
Hold on second. A big wave's coming!
What are you doing?
What is he?
You can't swim, after all, can you?
Shall we go now? So, who's going to paddle?
Nodame... I'll paddle first so can you push the boat?
Ready?
- Let's go. - What?
Masumi, you're cheating!!
Yoo-hoo! You stupid girl!
The island is for just two of us, Mr. Chiaki and me!
I won't let you catch up!
Unbelievable! Are you a monster?
Nodame's going with you too!
Go back! Why don't you go back!?
You're cheating!
Who's cheating!? You're always with Mr. Chiaki!
I'm his wife!
No... Stop... Stop...
Why don't you let me have some fun!
The sun...
Uh?
What is he doing?
Is he drowning, maybe?
- As I thought... - Chiaki...
can't swim!
Chiaki!
Nodame.
Mr. Chiaki!
Masumi.
Mr. Chiaki!
Chiaki!
Mr. Chiaki! Over here!
Over here!!
They will kill me.
Stop interrupting me!
Likewise!
Where's Chiaki?
Where's Mr. Chiaki?
Help...
You kidding me? Were you really drowning?
Oh! You look good!
Hey girls! I just helped someone drowning!
Extraterrestrial life forms have Mr. Chiaki!
What? Asking us to take you to the shore?
No problem!
Isn't this cool!
...we're lifesaving!?
That's cool! We're saving people!
They're fast.
How come?
- Thank you. I won't forget you. - Bye-bye!
I should leave here! ASAP!!
Away from the ocean! Away from them!!
Drat! Mine has the key...
What should I do? Everything is in this car!
Okay.
Let's go home before it gets dark!
Yeah, you just got your driver's license. That'd be safer.
Hi! You're the one who saved me earlier, right?
Who are you?
What? Are you hitting on us this late?
You're late.
I was betrayed by friends I trusted
I've been abused.
I will never forgive you!!
I'm leaving them here!!
Oh, no!
What do we do now?
So are we going to hitchhike in swimsuits?
Are you serious?
Music Festival?
What's that?
"their summer has just begun"
