These posters are completely useless!
Right now, the Ruins Research Club only has three members!
At this rate, the Ruins Research Club will be facing a possible extinction crisis.
Shouldn't we come out with something before the summer holiday ends?
But I'm not in the Ruins Research Club.
Senkawa!
You're the one who dragged us into your ruins exploration hobby during middle school!
Don't you feel the need to take responsibility?
But it's not my problem...
How about doing a video montage?
We can play some background music while showing the images of the ruins.
That's nice.
Oh! That's a good idea.
You could do it on my computer.
That's it!
But... the problem is money.
There aren't any castles or ruins of that sort around here!
So we need transportation and travel funds?
Yeah!
Recording will take some time.
It can't be done in one day.
It's still fine even though you didn't do it so seriously.
Idiot!
This is for the survival of our Ruins Research Club!
How are we supposed to survive if we don't do our best?
But I told you, I'm not part of the Ruins Exploration Club.
Senkawa!
You bastard!
Excuse me...
Nakasugi-san, you're here?
Yeah.
How very nice.
It's not like I'm going on a trip around the world or anything, you know.
So, while you're having fun outside, I have to take care of the house all by myself?
Taking out the trash, cleaning up the house, grocery shopping... everything?
You came home at your own will, so you shouldn't be complaining!
It's my long-awaited summer holiday,
can't I spend it in my spacious, comfortable, nostalgic home, rather than some cramped-up apartment?
Is that really too much to ask for?
But it's just for three days.
Is this the attitude of people asking for favours?
It's the summer holidays for me too you know.
I'm begging you, Onee-sama.
What Onee-sama?
Please, I beg you.
Well, I guess I have no choice.
Nee-chan!
But in exchange...
When you come back, you're going to be taking out the trash and cleaning up the house for the rest of the summer break.
I'll spare doing the laundry for you.
Damn Hazumi.
Always taking advantage of me.
That can't be helped, right?
You want to go on this trip, right?
Of course I do!
It's rare to have Nakasugi-san invite all of us.
My, my.
Now you're completely horny.
Don't say I'm horny!
Are you really sure about this?
Didn't Sayaka say she wanted to go?
With you around her, I wouldn't have to worry.
Well, if Master says so...
Sayaka has finally gotten lively, after all...
Just let her do whatever she likes.
Yes.
Hazawa, the bastard. That traitor!
I'll deal with you once I come back!
Isn't this alright?
Sudou and Chigira are around, too.
Yeah.
It's rare for him to win a Akihabara concert ticket.
I didn't win!
Yet for some reason, it was that idiot who won it!
Fine, I get it. We're here now, so let's just have fun, alright?
Yeah, yeah. It's exactly as Ryou-chan says.
Kazu, take a few shots of Nakasugi. I bet they'll turn out nice.
Hayamiya, could you move away for a bit?
Hah?
We're videotaping Nakasugi. You're in the way.
Huh? Just what do you mean by that?
A beauty by a window will make a good shot. So get away from there, shoo.
There's a beauty right here too. Come on, start filming!
I might even take some pose requests.
Kazu, get the camera rolling. Keep the delusional nutcase out of the frame.
Yes, this is the Suzuki Residence.
This is Sayaka. I'm at the station.
Please start preparing the meal. We're all starving.
Shall I prepare a car to pick you up?
We'll be taking the bus. So, don't worry.
You're going to take the bus?
Yup, see you later.
There's nothing here. Not even a single convenience store.
You're right. And it's quiet too.
It's kind of scary.
Ah! Hey, is that it, Nakasugi-san?
Ah! That's right, I remember it now.
When I was small, it looked like a gorgeous hotel, but...
It went out of business a while ago.
They had hot springs as their main attraction, but they started losing customers when the national road was built on the other side.
This is a wonderful ruin!
It's drawing in my masculine heart!
It's drawing it in!
SHUT UP!
It's drawing--
Granny, do you have anymore chips?
Chips?
Oh, he means potato chips.
Ah, if that's what you mean, I could get some more from the back.
Wait a while, okay?
Could you hurry up? We have a bus to catch.
The bus will wait for you if you just ask. No need to worry.
Ah, in that case, could we get some cup noodles too, please?
Sure thing!
I'm sorry, Hayamiya.
Eh?
For bothering you with all these.
That's not true at all.
Every time I wipe my sweat, you look at me with a worried face.
Well, the rest are guys. They lack the delicacy to care about others.
This is super heavy.
Shut up. We're splitting it all equally.
Ryou-chan, let's not fight.
But, I seem to be fine. My body feels kind of light too, so don't worry.
Wow, so your body really is getting better, Nakasugi?
We're here! We're here! We have arrived!
I told you to shut up!
See, over there. That's our villa!
Are we going to walk all the way there?
Yup!
Well then, let's go!
When I was a little kid, this village was much livelier.
There were a lot of kids too.
I guess it's just a part of urbanization.
It seems that all the younger people left.
It's been seven years since I was last here.
Yoshie-san!
Man, I'm full! I'm full!
I didn't think that food could be so good.
You should think about tomorrow and saved some of that for it.
What are you talking about? You had three helpings too.
I had to eat for two people--
Two people?
I only ate two people's shares but Sudou ate enough for three.
Is that supposed to be a huge difference?
That maid has a scary face, but her cooking is delicious.
At the bottom of the river, there's plenty of places where no-one lives anymore.
The ruins here are treasures!
We'll get Hayamiya and Nakasugi later to play some cards or something.
Is everyone here? Nakasugi says she's got something nice to show you guys!
Wow! You can see the Milky Way so clearly!
The air's clean and there are barely any lights around here.
Is that...
My grandfather used to use it for bird-watching. Want to take a peek?
What can you see?
Go on.
Wow! That's beautiful!
What's that Senkawa? Let me have a peek too!
Let me see that too!!
Shut up!
Let me see! Come on! Let me see!
I'm next.
Bastard, let go of me!
I'm not letting go!
I said let go!
What are you guys? Elementary kids?
But I wouldn't mind to have a peek too!
Me first.
I can't see!
I told you to get off me!
What's your problem?
That's the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful star.
TL Notes: Japanese: Hakuchou-za = English: Swan Constellation = Latin: Cygnus
That's the beta component of the Cygnus constellation. It's a star called Albireo.
Do you know a lot about stars, Nakasugi-san?
I was sick ever since I was a little kid.
So, I started to like looking up upon the starry sky.
That star looks like it's close, but in fact it's really far away.
About how many kilometers away?
It's supposed to be about 4000 times the distance between earth and the sun, so...
It's about six trillion kilometers I think.
TL notes: That's about 390 light years for you math majors.
Six trillion kilometers huh?
Let me see! Come on!
I told you to get off me already!!
Wow! Beautiful!
Knock it off already, you two!
Heh...
That sure is in an awesome piece of real estate!
Did you get any nice shots?
Perfect shots!
Well, it's about time to get into today's main event! But before that...
Well, let's do it!
I guess we don't have a a choice.
We decided on the rules yesterday.
First out is rock!
Rock, paper, scissors!
One more time!
Again!
Do you like the books here?
Yeah, there's a lot of good books here.
The photobooks have great pictures too. They're really amazing!
You don't like these sort of things?
A little bit...
I suppose you're not the type that would like news photos.
Why don't we head downstairs instead?
Yoshie-san prepared some cold drinks for us.
Great! I was just getting thirsty.
Now that I think about it, maybe I should have joined them too.
It's forbidden to enter the hotel, so they might get into some trouble.
If it's them we're talking about, they should be able to come up with something.
Kazu, can you hear me?
Hey!
Everything is alright, Ryou-chan. The signal strength is two bars in here.
Then I'll let it ring three times before I hang up. That's the signal, alright?
Yup, three times.
If you guys find anything interesting, let me see it too, okay?
Yeah, we know. Later.
Alright! Time to explore!
Woahaha! It's treasure trove of antique arcade games.
Come on Chigira! Lights, lights!
You're right. It's like we went through a time slip.
Doesn't it kind of feel like a horror movie when you see all this?
Damn! There are so many things that I want to shoot, but I don't know where to start from.
Chigira! You're going to do lighting for a while!
Okay, okay.
Senkawa! You take point and check out the top!
Hurry! Hurry!
I got it.
Jeez, why do I have to be the lookout?
Huh?
Oh, crap.
Hey you, are you a tourist? I haven't seen your face before.
I suppose this is the kinda place you would call a scene of beauty.
This is such a beautiful village.
Huh?
Are we busted?
No! We can't be caught yet!
Ah! He left.
Safe!
Senkawa! Forget the escape signal!
I saw it. You did pretty well in getting him to leave.
Hey! What's wrong?
Hey, Senkawa! Can you hear me?
Answer me, damn it!
It's gotta be a prank.
If you attach a shoe to a stick, you could easily make that!
That may be right.
But... doesn't it kinda make you nervous?
It might be a ghost.
Eh?
That police earlier mentioned that he heard a child's laughter around this area last night.
However, there was absolutely no one around.
Ryou-chan, stop it! You know I hate those stories.
Geez, you're such a coward.
Kazu, behind you!!
Aah!! It's a ghost! I'm so scared!!
What's with this guy?
I'm so scared of ghosts!
I'm so scared!
Idiot! Move!
Let go of me!
I'M SCARED!
Hurry up and open your eyes.
Ryunka.
No... I am...
You have been reborn, Sayaka. Just as you wished.
I... wished for it?
That's right. That's why the Ryunka chose you.
I was chosen?
Yes, and you wished for it as well.
That's why, I...
Ah, they're all dead.
Hm?
This one's still alive.
Ryunka?
The Ryunka's power was able to awaken from it's long sleep thanks to you.
Likewise, you were able to attain a new life. Thanks to Ryunka's power.
Ryunka...
Now...
Fly...
Ryunka.
Bushi! Can't you keep quiet?!
Really, you're such a helpless dog.
You eat all you want, but you can't even listen to what I--
Huh?
What is this? This feeling?!
Nakasugi-san?
What are you doing Birdy? I was still sleeping you know...
Then, keep sleeping!
Hey, Birdy! What's going on?
Over there!
What is?
Never mind!
Which way?
Birdy, what the hell is going on?
Again?
Birdy?
That is...
Birdy...
What.... is that?!
Nagano Prefectural Office and the Nagano Search and Rescue Units are using all their resources to investigate and rescue people from Sawajiri Village.
However, due to the low population of the Nagano region and lack of transportation,
There is talk that the Self-Defence Force may get involved. Therefore, the survivors are...
It's the Ryunka, right?
There's no doubt about it.
There aren't many other things that are capable of causing anything quite like this.
But it's odd. I thought that Geega failed in his attempt to raise the Ryunka.
But, you forgot that there are other aliens... Gomez-san.
The Invisible Death. Not bad... Not bad at all.
The Ryunka is not something that you can handle.
Shall we put a wager on that?
I've never lost a single bet, not even once.
Yeah, he said it took him a while before he could call because his cell wouldn't connect.
Yeah, from a telephone booth.
It seems they were quite far away from the accident, so they were all completely fine.
The train still works, but the police investigation will delay his return trip for two or three days.
This is Arita Shion de arimasu~
The wonderful vacation has turned into such a tragedy de arimasu~
And then Nakasugi-san's worried grandfather comes into the picture de arimas~
Together with Shyamalan desu~
Such a mystery wan~
It looks like Shyamalan-san is up to no good nyaa~
And, there's going to be another strong opponent for Birdy-san!
Even Hayamiya-san and Muroto-san are- guaaaa~~
