I hate summer.
The clinging, sticky air.
The overly glaring sun.
The type of people who goof off because it's summer...
...and walk around without anything real to do.
Everyone is a nuisance. I wish they would all get lost.
I wish they would disappear.
Why don't you all disappear from the face of the earth?
Miu Manazuru
The number you have called...
I soon realized why I was irritated.
I was irritated at myself for allowing myself...
...to get pissed off at every little, unimportant thing.
Fukai yoru no haneoto wa... The sound of wings in deep night...
Tooi shoujo no hibi no... Is the echo of distant days...
...kodama. ...of young girlhood.
Tsuki no fune wa sotto... The boat of the moon...
...namida kobosu yo. ...softly drops a tear.
Yonde yo... Call me...
...harukana natsu no namae. ...the name of faraway summer.
Toki wa nagarete... Time passes...
Daremo inakute... Everyone is gone...
Kanashii hodo ni kireina... It is sad-the pretty...
...yoake. ...Dawn.
Oh...
This is your power.
My power...
It's a miracle.
Episode 3 "LATE SUMMER"
That was pretty good, huh?
Episode 3 "LATE SUMMER" Yeah! The part where Holly first uses magic was exciting.
- What'd you think, Miu? - Yeah, I thought it was good.
I hope it comes out on DVD soon.
That's an odd movie review.
But it's definitely scoop straight from Miu.
- Where shall we go? - Are you okay for time, Miu?
Uh, yeah. Mom and Dad left on a family vacation with my little sister.
- That's not what I meant. - Huh?
Recently, you're being called out all the time.
Yeah. By Ayane Isuzu from Home Room D.
U- Uh... Yeah.
How long are you going to stand there?
The job is finished. Go home.
You've finished reclaiming your honor, haven't you?
You're going to work hard...
...so everyone else can laugh and enjoy themselves, aren't you?
Have you developed a distaste for the job...
...now that you know these were once human?
Is it more your style to comment on things from a distance?
Or have you gotten scared?
You piss me off.
That won't happen anymore.
Miu?
It's all right, really.
You sure?
Okay, let's go out and have a blast. It's summer, after all!
We'll go to the arcade, pig out on goodies...
...and wrap up with karaoke!
That'll totally drain my spending cash.
- Oh. - Hm?
Win a shake! - Oh. - Hm?
Win a shake! Miu, you didn't win anything.
Oh, I'm sorry, guys!
We all have dates with our boyfriends. Right?
Huh? Uh, yeah.
It's pretty crowded.
Miu, can you handle an all-nighter?
Huh?
Yeah... Ah!
- Let's see. We'd like the All-Night Course...
- Six for the All-You-Can-Drink Course. - Let's see. We'd like the All-Night Course...
That will be Room 507.
Got it.
Hey!
Our last room has just been booked, so wait for the next one.
- What! - I oughta whoop him!
What? You're kidding. But isn't that risky?
It wouldn't kill you to get angry once in a while, too, Miu.
Huh?
Don't bother. Miu's never been angry in her life.
Is that true?
Was it in junior high? You practiced getting angry.
- Uh... yeah. - Try getting angry.
What? Uh, sure.
"Grr."
Uh-huh, uh-huh.

... but we are currently affecting repairs, so please stand by.
House for Sale
UKIYA RESIDENCE
Ayane?
I thought that was you, Ayane.
IKEDA RESIDENCE
Vroom, vroom!
I'm cutting corners while my husband is out on a business trip.
Yeah.
Here, Ayane!
I'll let you borrow it.
Thanks.
He doesn't even look at action figures. He just loves cars.
I wonder who he takes after? Junichi, carry this.
Okay.
I want you to take this to the other table.
Right.
Junichi, can you already help out?
Uh-huh...
What are you doing, Junichi?
Come on, we have to wipe it up quick, or...
Huh?
Huh...?
Huh?
I'm sorry. It's just, I've never heard you speak so loudly in my life.
Aren't you going to scold him?
Why? He's the one who tripped and fell down.
There's no need to scold him and make him feel worse, is there?
I'm sorry.
That's good. Junichi, go fetch me a cloth.
Okay!
Yay!
That's strange. I practiced it with my little sister, too...
Here's mine!
Hey! That's the song I was going to sing.
You snooze, you lose!
The wind is blinding.
I chase after you, as you run away.
The race track is full of sparkle beams.
Come. Come to our world.
Come to our world.
...that isn't enough for me. Arena confession of love.
Yay!
I knew it was you immediately.
What?
By the sound of your bell.
Oh.
If you hadn't been carrying it, I might not have realized it was you.
It hasn't been so long since I saw you last, but you've grown a lot.
So, you still have it.
Did you go to the family grave for "Obon" Holiday?
I didn't go.
I see. You still have a grudge against your father?
That's right. I can't forgive him.
I won't forgive the man who abandoned me and my mom.
It can't be helped. It takes time.
Thank you for the food!
Good.
Stay the night. Do you have plans with friends?
Not really. I don't have many friends.
It's nice to have friends.
Say, Aunt Saemi...?
What is it?
I met the girl you told me about before.
Did you make a new friend?
You are as lonely as ever.
Is it really going to begin?
Oh, my! How scary.
But I think you shouldn't strain yourself.
You can't even open a gate properly anymore.
This time, it's only a greeting.
The beginning of the end, that no one can stop now.
So, you met Yukino.
That's good. I've been wanting to see her for all this time...
...but it was about the time I became an adult that she stopped showing herself.
Really?
Spring is a flower petal flower storm...
Did it come unplugged?
It has to be a black-out.
It's pitch-black. Maybe it is a black-out.
Let's try calling the front desk.
Wow, it's pretty...
Hello?
Pardon?
Hey, now, I'm serious!
What?
Come... Come to our world.
Whoa, that's creepy.
Could it be...?
- What? - Hey...
Give me a break.
What is it?
Uh, I...
No, it's nothing.
Silly Miu.
Registering paranormal frequencies.
Yes. Shinjuku?
It's okay. I'll head right there.
Are you leaving, Ayane?
Yeah. I'm sorry.
- Ayane... - Huh?
Nothing. Be careful, okay?
Come. You are coming with us, as well.
Who are you!
Come to our world.
No!
Call the police!! Hurry!
- No way... - What is it!
Out of range!!
No!!
I don't believe this!!
Gate Open!
What did you do, Miu?
Uh, I used adrenaline power.
Anyway, let's get out of here!
Yeah...
What? What is this?
We should be asking where the staff and customers are.
Come... Come to our world.
This way!
- You're kidding! - What do we do?
Miu!
Hold on to this.
Quickly!
Gate...
...Open!
Ow...
- Let's hurry! - Yeah.
Whaaat?
Shinjuku. I'm in a hurry.
Aw, geez. I thought you'd be a short trip because you're a kid...
...but now I gotta make a long distance trip?
What a damned pain. Have you got money?
Hurry.
If you got money, I'm charging you extra...
Here. I fixed your phone so you can use the Gate of Fire.
So, I can use them like you, Isuzu?
Wow! I can't wait to use it!
In a long adjoining passageway...
Every time we pass...
Isuzu?
...my heart stops, and I look at the floor.
Uh, excuse me?
The Invaders around here are really pathetic, aren't they?
Do you mean, you're also...?
They're as pathetic as you.
The most powerful Invader hunter, Gate Keeper of Wind, Ayane Ukiya...
You're famous, so I was expecting more.
Oh, for Pete's sake! Move it! You're a pain.
Yes, they are a pain, aren't they?
It would be nice if only they all went away.
Slovenly humans.
You're just like me.
Ima egao ga areba... If I have a smile today...
Kimi no egao ga areba... If I have your smile today...
Ikikirashi furimuita toki... When I ran out of breath and turned around...
...itsumo kimi ga ite ...you were always there
waraikaketa. Smiling at me.
Kujikesouna kokoro ni hibiku... Sure footsteps echoing in my heart...
...tashikana ashioto. ...as I near despair.
Aoi sora ni habataku In the blue sky, the birds fly
toori-tachi wa kanashimi wo... flapping their wings to shake off...
...furikitte yuku. ...their sadness.
Ima kibou ga aru yo. Now, there is hope.
Mune ni kibou ga aru yo. There is hope in my heart.
Imakoso akeyou... This time, let's open...
...asu e no gate. ...the gate to tomorrow.
Ima yuuki ga aru yo. Now, I have courage.
Atsui yuuki ga aru yo. I have passionate courage.
Dakara egao de tachiagarou. So, let's stand up smiling.
Get up, my heart!
Ima asu e habatake... Now, fly towards the future...
...my heart!
If I will be reincarnated...
...I always thought I wanted to become a bird.
But now, all I can do is watch my blood...
...as it flows down the cold concrete.
