As one encounter led to a double romance...
...three beating hearts...
...played gentle melodies.
I, Kasuga Kyosuke, 15 years old...
...am living the best years of my youth!
That's the accelerator screamin', as the tires are squealin'...
...takin' you along, a girl I hardly knew, in my speedin' coupe.
You slammed the door, evadin' the shadows that followed...
...sayin' "Take me anywhere, Just go!"
An encounter is like a highway junction...
I've fallen in love with you - that I realized...
...by the time the seaport was in sight...
"Take me to Summer Side"
Sayin' that you desire tenderness over a caress...
"Night of Summer Side"
...the way you avoided me, usin' that naive look, wasn't so innocent.
"Take me to Summer Side"
Sayin' that you desire a caress over loneliness...
"Night of Summer Side"
...the way you looked into my eyes as you turned back wasn't so innocent.
Madoka's Ultimate Decision! Putting a Period to the Love Triangle.
Ushiko...
Umao...
Wherefore art thou, Ushiko?
And thou, Umao?! Wherefore art thou, Umao?!
-Ushiko! -Umao!
Gimme it, Kurumi! It doesn't belong to you!
No way! No way! No way!
Manami, you stingy nutcase!
Oooh, you think you're tough?!
Oh! That hurts!
Knock it off, Kurumi!
What?!
What's the story?! What's with all the noise, so early in the morning?!
'Cause!
Kurumi's wearing my socks!
So?! I'm letting you use my bag, y'know!
It's WRONG! Right, Oniichan?
It's not wrong! Right, Oniichan?
W... W... Well... I don't know if I can answer right away...
Who's right?
Who?!
Er... Well, that's, er...
Oooh, you're getting on my nerves!
Kurumi, take off the socks!
Then take off my panties! They belong to me! They're Kurumi's!
What do you think you're doing?! Okay, Kurumi, gimme back mine too!
N... No!
Egad!
Oh... Will you PLEASE be quiet!
Help me out here! Allow me to have a nice sleep, if you please!
As Dad's exhibition opens tomorrow...
...these last few nights he's been pulling all-nighters.
And as I couldn't even arbitrate my sisters' quarrels...
...how can I put it...
Hmpft!
-Hmpft! -Hmpft!
I felt like I'd failed... as their brother... and as the first-born son.
Guess who's behind your back!
Hikaru.
Oh, my gosh! How did you figure that out, Sempai?
Sempai, your father's exhibition... it starts tomorrow, right?
It's so neat that he's having one!
I'm gonna go see it with Madoka!
Oh, yeah! If you need help putting up the pictures at the gallery...
...would you possibly let me help out?
Oh! Er... Y... Yeah, I was listening!
Dad was telling me he needed help putting things up, so...
...I'm sure he'll be delighted to hear that you'll come and help out.
Oh! I was afraid that I'd be turned down!
I'll be there to help out with Madoka!
Er... w... wait... Listen...
Nothing wrong with that, is there?! We all like each other, after all!
-You're putting me on the spot! -Oh!
Oh... er... I mean... Er...
What?! You think he hates you?
Darling... Darling gives me the cold shoulder, when others are around.
Maybe he's shy.
Do you think so?
I think so.
Somehow, I get the feeling that it isn't so...
'Cause, if two people really like each other, then...
"Yippee!" I think we could act like that, and ignore what others might think!
But, Darling said... Darling said...
Even today, he said, "Stop it, you're embarrassing me!"
It might be that he doesn't really like me at all!
Oh! Maybe... Maybe...
...the reason why he was answering me like...
"...huhhuh," even though I tried hard to talk to him...
Oh, no! Tell me it isn't so!
What are you talking about?!
Maybe I'm imagining it, but...
...maybe he has someone else on his mind!
Maybe he's thinking about her...
Maybe that's why he...
If that's the case, what should I do?
I doubt that's the case.
Maybe it is!
It's not!
I think it's kinda silly to keep on imagining the worst.
But...
Don't worry when you don't have to!
If you stay close to him all the time, then things will be just fine!
Besides, you're so adorable, Hikaru.
Oh!
Thank you!
Madoka, you're the best!
Oh, I'm so glad...
Say, Kurumi... You sure we can skip out on cleaning the classroom?!
We certainly can! Let's leave it to "Model-student Manami!"
What?!
So, you two are really fighting, huh?
What happened? You guys are usually so close!
Say, want me to talk to Manami, so you guys can make up?
What?
The truth is... you want to make up!
W... That's not true!
Who cares about Manami?!
Oops!
Hey! Who the hell...?!
Uh-oh! That's Hino of the Karate-Club!
Oh, I just remembered! I'm gonna go back to cleaning after all!
Me too!
Me three!
Oh! Oh! Oh, c'mon!
Okay, who hit me with the ball?!
Oh? What's going on, Yuusaku?
You! ...Huh?!
What's going on?
-Er... er, well...
H... Hikaru!
Just what's going on here?
W... Well, see, this girl here was, er...
Oh! Kurumi! Don't tell me that... the one who hit me with the ball was...
Er... Yes.
Gosh, that's all there is to it?!
What?!
B... But, I got SLAMMED right in my face!
THAT, my friend... is the FAULT of...
...the SLOW person... who couldn't DODGE... the BALL!
Say... Could I ask you, please, won't you forgive her?
B... But...
Is there a problem?!
Oh! N... N... NO!
N... No, I don't have any problem with that!
Just to remind you, when he gets mad, he gets mad, so be careful!
You gotta watch out, okay?!
O... Oh, no!
I was just kidding!
Huh? Oh, c'mon!
"Maybe I'm imagining it, but... maybe he has someone else on his mind!"
"I found a four-leaf clover!"
"See!"
"Oh! I want it!"
"Nope!"
"I want it... I want it!"
"No way!"
"I want it! I want it!"
"I wa..."
"Here."
"You can have it."
"Oh! Thank you!"
Ow!
Oh! I cut myself!
Let me see it.
Does it hurt?
N... No...
It's not that bad of a wound.
But, you wouldn't want germs to get in there...
...so you should get it sterilized as soon you can.
Madoka...
Huh?
Thank you.
No problem.
See you tomorrow! Bye-bye!
Bye! See ya tomorrow!
See ya!
What a day, eh?
See ya!
We're goin' home! Goin' home!
Ayukawa!
I'm supposed to go meet Hikaru at ABCB.
I was wondering if you'd like to go with...
I... I don't know what happened...
...but, Ayukawa didn't seem to be her usual whimsical self.
Ayukawa...
At that moment...
...I felt that something... something was keeping me away from her.
But...
But... why?
What?! You promised that you'd go with me to help out, Madoka!
Sempai! Madoka says that she can't help out!
Sorry! I forgot that Master had asked me to take care of something.
Right, Master?
Huh?! Oh... OH! Oh, that's right!
Master, what is it about?
Oh, well, there's this little party...
Here...?!
Sure! Sure, a reception...
...right here in the shop!
In such a tiny shop as this?!
You're cruel!
You know, if we move the tables, we can easily handle 20 or 30 people!
There you have it. I promised to help out here.
Oh, gee. What a bummer!
Er... It would've been fun if we could all have helped together, y'know...
You've got Hikaru to help you. So what's the problem?
I knew something was wrong.
I couldn't help thinking that Ayukawa was lying or something...
-Oh, thank you, I appreciate your help! -Oh, I'm probably not much help, but I'll try!
Let us begin at once!
Thank you, gentlemen!
Hatta, let's sweat!
Yeah!
Manami!
Huh?
Peek-a-Boo, Kurumi!
Huh?
Why did Ayukawa...?
I'm sorry that I made you lie.
No problem!
But, y'know, that's the first time...
Huh?
...that I've seen you lie, Madoka.
I... I was thinking about how Ayukawa just coldly brushed me off...
...I couldn't get it off my mind, no matter what.
I just can't get it off my mind...
Say, Darling? That's upside-down!
I said, it's upside-down!
Oh, c'mon!
Well, I was just thinking that it'd be more artistic upside-down!
Hmphft!
Oh, why you!
Looks like they're still fighting...
Huh?
Oh!
Were those two... fighting?!
You dumb-ass! You didn't know?!
The angry faces of Kurumi and Manami... now, oh my, how cute they are!
Gimme a break!
Why, you...
I'm not pulling that hard!
No one's coming... The customers, I mean.
That's all right, sometimes.
The Grand Prize goes to this model! Yeah, right!
That's cute!
Madoka's picture looks wonderful too!
Hmm... I sure would like to see him take more portraits!
Like, nudie pics, or... Huh...?
Don't say such perverted things, Komatsu!
Er, sorry... Wait a sec! YOU said that!
Say, Darling...
Which do you prefer... the photo, or the real thing?
My, thank you all for helping! Thank you very much for your hard work!
I bet you're all hungry. Let me treat you to a meal!
Yeah!
-Well, after working SO HARD, anyone would be hungry, right? -Uh-huh!
Oh? What's wrong? I'll be with you soon, so...
Um... there's something I'd like to talk to you about...
W... What is it?
W... What's wrong?
You've been... acting weird today.
What do you mean?
Weird!
Weird! Weird!
No matter what I say to you, you're not paying attention to me!
Th... That's not true!
It is so! You've got someone new, isn't that right?
What?!
You have someone new, huh?!
There's nobody like that!
You're lying!
No, I'm not!
You can tell me the truth, you know that!
I... I AM telling you the truth...
Will you swear it to "Hell's Judge?"
Huh? N... Well... I will.
Yes, I can swear!
I'm glad... It's just like what Madoka said!
Huh? Ayukawa said that?!
Uh-huh. I talked to Madoka 'cause you started giving me the cold shoulder.
When I did, Madoka said...
Huh?!
...Madoka said...
"Things will be all right if I stay close to you all the time!"
Does it look like we hosted a party in here now?
You don't have to go this far...
Now that we've told a lie, we've got to "complete it," you know!
What if the guys stop over?!
Master...
Gosh! "Delicious!"
The ultimate in gourmet food!
There's nothing like a meal after working hard!
...yeah, right.
Oh! Yours look so good!
You dumb-ass! It's gonna taste the same!
Huh?!
What in the world is that?!
Where?!
Did you just do something?
Komatsu! I think your serving is smaller, don't you agree?
Huh? Oh! You're right!
Ayukawa... Ayukawa...
You ate my potato salad, didn't you!
He who makes the first move wins!
Gimme that!
...she did it for Hikaru...
Oh? Where are you going, Sempai?
M... Men's room...
This way, please... Huh?!
Hello, this is the Ayukawa residence.
We are out at the moment.
Kindly leave your name and a brief message after you hear the beep.
Er... It's me, Kasuga...
Er... this is the second time I'm calling...
...a... and... er... I... er...
Master, where's Ayukawa?!
Good night!
...so... the reason why I called was because...
I'm sorry to keep calling you! It's me, Kasuga... Er...
Hello, this is the Ayukawa residence.
We are out at the moment.
Kindly leave your name and a brief message after you hear the beep.
Beep!
This is your fifth call!
Gosh... It's all right...
A... Ayukawa...
I know...
O... Oh! "Kasuga Takashi's 7th Solo Exhibition Midst of a Journey - I was young then."
Just like you said, Manami... Madoka looks great!
Hikaru looks pretty too!
-Yeah! -Yeah!
Both are... the BEST!
Say, what do YOU think, Oniichan?
Er...
Which do you think is better?
Er... W... Well, that's, er...
How can I possibly decide?!
Give a clear answer!
I don't need Kurumi and Manami to tell me I need to do that.
Which of the two... Hikaru or Ayukawa... is better?!
Which is better?!
To be honest, I can't possibly give an answer...
Oh! Darling!
I can't...
I... I mean...
I cannot...
I dream of casting a spell that captures your heart...
...and makes you crazy about me.
Love is deja vu; an unfamiliar memory. I feel our lips pressing together.
Love me... tenderly... Golden Summer Mirage...
Someday... Someday... Please let my body feel your lips...
...on that morning I'll be called your lover.
Someday, someday... I'll be waiting for that moment.
"We are not alone."
"We are not the only ones in the universe..."
...yeah, right.
We know better, but if you ever get to see it with your own eyes...
...it's really incredible!
But, what really happened was...
Next time: "Well, do you believe it or not? Madoka saw a UFO."
I... am tremendously concerned...
