I want to show you the love that is not fake
Isn't it normal to be concerned about...
...something so small that even makes me laugh?
Although I declared that is my character...
But the spirit is freer than that
Listen to me as I sing my song
As long as we can stay together
To simply believe that we will be happy
That the world goes around in a logical way
Don't say that I dream too much or that I'm too childish
I want to show you the love that is not fake
The Middle of Summer!
Screech!
I'm so cool!
Crash!
How stupid does he think he has to be?
I'm just glad we got him to come separately and join us here.
Anyway, are we all here now?
Looks like we are, Old Man.
Even I'm here!
Thanks, Kenta. I appreciate you inviting me.
Hori-Sensei Thanks, Kenta. I appreciate you inviting me.
It's no big deal.
I mean, I've always wanted to go to the beach with you.
You're so thoughtful, Kenta.
Damn that Hori-Sensei.
Her teaching practicum ended.
So why is she still all chummy with Suetake?!
But what can you say? She is his relative, after all.
Summer's here, Mika-Sensei.
It sure is, Matsumoto-Sensei.
The sea, Mika-Sensei.
It is the sea, Matsumoto-Sensei.
Enoshima, Mika-Sensei!
It is Enoshima, Matsumoto-Sensei!
Viva! The Shonan Sea Breeze Story!
What's with Mika-Sensei and Matsumoto-Sensei?
They remembered they're not so young anymore.
Episode 13:Summer in Shonan: Don't Say Good Bye
Shaved Ice
After everyone's changed into their swimsuits...
It's time to hit the beach!
Oh, man! This feels great!
Sports Club Tan
You sure have a funny tan, Suetake.
Sports club tan.
Thump-thump! Tan
Huh? I heard the sound of a heart pounding.
Me, too.
Mika-Sensei, that ring looks too good on you.
Well...
Thump-thump! Float Ring
Huh? Another one.
The beach does funny things.
Sparkle, sparkle
This effect on the water...
I'm sure I can use that effect in a frame in my next manga strip.
I was just thinking the same thing, Watabe!
Sensei!
We've got manga to draw, so we're going home!
Now, now
But you just got changed into your swimsuits.
There's no rush.
Whoa!
Matsumoto-Sensei...
...don't you think this swimsuit is a bit too flashy for me?
Not at all.
Right, Suetake?
Yeah! That totally suits your style, Hatoko!
It's sweet of you to say so.
You're horrible, Suetake.
You've never said anything like that to me before.
Don't hold your breath.
What?!
Hori-Sensei's figure is pretty much perfect.
She'd make a perfect model.
Thump thump
thump thump Watabe?!
Oh, what am I going to do?!
Watabe still hasn't gotten over Hori-Sensei!
Watabe of the manga club, over here!
Wait for me, Hori-Sensei!
Poke
Thump
Cut
Hori-Sensei...
I want to draw a comic strip called "me" on your gorgeous body.
Oh, Watabe of the manga club...
I'm going to accept your proposal.
Accept I'm going to accept your proposal.
Things between them are developing way too fast!
I'm so thrilled that I'm getting the urge to draw a new manga!
"Accept his proposal"!
- You're talking to yourself. - This is absolutely incredible!
I have a feeling that's the least of her problems.
Come on! Let's start this off with a dip in the ocean!
Yeah!
Wait, wait!
Hey, you guys! Wait for me!
Is Mika-Sensei all right?
I hope she makes it to the water before the sun sets.
Oh, that's so cool and refreshing!
Finally in the water Oh, that's so cool and refreshing!
But it sure is unusual for you to come to the beach.
You're more the type to lie around and be a couch potato all summer.
Well, Kitagawa sent me a good poem when she invited me.
Like what?
"I yearn for you as I drift to the sea"
I yearn for you As I drift to the sea "I yearn for you as I drift to the sea"
A midsummer road trip with my little you
"A midsummer road trip with my little you"
A midsummer road trip with my little you
I accepted without giving it another thought.
The saga of the literature teacher.
Mika-Sensei
Mika-Sensei!
Kobayashi
Kobayashi!
Tominaga
I'll be right down!
She'll be right down?
Don't tell me she's going to jump from there!
She's gone.
So she's not jumping...
Swoosh
Shock
Splash
Shiver
She only disappeared to take a running start.
Shiver Did you see the smile on her face?
Honk
Just swimming is starting to get a little boring.
I'm pretty sure somebody brought along a ball.
How about a casual game of beach volleyball?
I don't do casual.
Serious
Challenge
Gotcha!
What're you doing?
Penalty I lost the game.
Turbo
Turbo!
Scallops
Scallops!
Squid Squid!
Shaved Ice
Shaved ice!
Corn on the Cob Corn on the cob!
Beach food is the best!
I love these seaside food stalls!
I'm in heaven!
Mika-Sensei...
If you eat like that, your stomach will start to stick out again.
Crash
You're right.
That's okay.
A round belly will make her look even more like a little girl.
I'll quit. I'll quit eating.
I like the way you are.
Everyone seems to be having a good time.
Must be nice to be young.
Kobayashi is buried in the sand
It feels so weird!
Matsumoto-Sensei...
... how do you create a fun class where everyone gets along?
Can you share any secret tips?
Well, let's see...
You should ask Mika-Sensei rather than me.
How to create a class that's fun and lively?
Yes.
It'll be great advice for when I graduate...
...and become a real teacher.
Well, I don't know what to say.
It's not like I do anything to make it happen.
Thinking...
Bobbing, bobbing
Is she still thinking?
Serious
Sploosh
Serious
Bobbing, bobbing
Seasick from the waves
She got seasick from the waves?
It figures, considering all she ate.
Mika's Beach Story The End
Ramen Sea
As the sun sets...
Wow, that sure was fun!
As the sun sets...
I'm exhausted...
... but it was a lot of fun!
I got an awesome tan!
And I swam 10 kilometers!
And I drew 20 four-frame mangas in the sand on the beach!
Except the waves washed them away.
So? Where are we spending the night, Old Man?
Right.
At a friend of my dad's. He said we could stay for free.
Whoa!
That's quite the hotel.
What kind of friend is this guy?
And there's our transportation.
Limousine
Together on the one-night Enoshima holiday...
Giant Spa Resort
Isn't it incredible, Matsumoto-Sensei?
I can't believe this hot spring bath is in our hotel basement!
They have to try all sorts of gimmicks to get people to come.
I didn't think I'd be wearing my swimsuit even inside the hotel.
Suetake!
We could take them off if we wanted to!
Are you serious?
Don't encourage him, Kudo.
Hey, Mika-Sensei!
Jacuzzi
That bath's got bubbles! It looks like fun!
You're right! Let's get in there, Kobayashi!
Splash
Sizzle, sizzle
You were out all afternoon.
No wonder you've got sunburns.
And you're supposed to wash before getting into the bath.
But, but, but...!
Seki sure seems happy.
Yeah, I know how he feels.
The echo in the bath makes your voice sound much better...
At least it does in theory.
Oh, Iincho...
And the second number!
Oblivious
Watabe, my left eye is better than my right eye!
That's not what we're doing.
You guys sure make a good pair.
That feels so good! That feels so good!
Mika-Sensei, you've been going on like that for ages.
Your vocabulary's limited.
Mika Suzuki, grammar and literature teacher!
I'll even express how I feel in a haiku!
Nice steaming water.
Oh, how nice the hot water Oh, how nice the hot water.
Oh, how nice the hot water
Nice steaming water Nice steaming water.
Is that acceptable for the Japanese education system?
Of course! Because she's so adorable!
Thump Of course! Because she's so adorable!
Time passes...
I don't know...
Sitting around hot springs like this gets kind of boring after a while.
I wish there was something else we could do.
How about we...
...check that out?
That?
Hot Springs River Ride Entrance
The Hot Springs River Ride?
Go figure!
Start of Hot Springs River Ride... Go figure!
Start of Hot Springs River Ride...
You should've told us about this fun ride in the first place!
Start of Hot Springs River Ride...
Well, I didn't know about it either.
Matsumoto-Sensei should've come along as well.
It's not our problem.
She wanted to spend more time relaxing in the hot springs.
That's what I wanted as well...
You can't have the students go on a ride like this without a teacher.
And I'm not a certified teacher yet.
I know, but...
I can't believe this is still a part of our hotel.
Don't worry about the details!
Huh?
Old Man!
I think it's the way it's set up!
We'll bump into you later!
You heard what he said! See you later, Sensei!
Okay, Seki! You all be careful!
Bye!
All right, you guys.
Old Man's not with us...
... but let's work together as a team, and we'll get to the end of the ride.
Right, Suetake...
We're going to do it, Hatoko!
S-Sure thing, Kenta!
Awwww
Be warned of the power of blood relations!
Cheer up, guy.
No way...
The river from the hot springs is connected to a place like this?
This is a hot spring, too.
Maybe it's set up as a rest stop.
You're probably right.
I was just thinking that I'd like to take a nice relaxing dip.
This feels like paradise!
You sure like the water.
What do you expect? We're talking Mika-Sensei here.
Huh?
N-Nessie?!
Nessie N-Nessie?!
Nessie
Mika-Sensei! Get out of there!
My legs won't move!
Cut it out, Netsu-ssie! (Netsu = Heat)
Netsu-ssie Cut it out, Netsu-ssie! (Netsu = Heat)
Dad?! Mom?!
Oh, I think you must be mistaken.
I am King of the Hot Springs. I rule over this realm.
King of the Hot Springs I am King of the Hot Springs. I rule over this realm.
King of the Hot Springs
And I am the Queen of the Hot Springs.
Queen of the Hot Springs And I am the Queen of the Hot Springs.
What's going on here?
No point in asking me.
Don't worry. It's probably part of the attraction.
I can't blame you for not believing.
The hot springs people and the surface people...
...ceased all interaction several thousand years ago.
Hot springs people?
Originally, we were no different from you surface people.
But our ancestors were extremely enamored with hot spring baths.
They migrated underground in search of better hot springs.
And the hot springs people are their descendents?
Exactly.
In other words, you people are hot springs fanatics.
If you haven't had any interaction with us for thousands of years...
Does that mean we can never get back to the surface again?
Not to worry.
It is a custom of the hot springs realm to be gracious to our visitors.
Stay and relax all you want.
And return to the surface whenever you like.
That's a relief!
Thank you so much, your Highnesses!
Okay!
On their way back... Okay!
On their way back...
That hot spring king was a pretty decent guy.
Not only did he save us...
... but he gave us a little parting gift as well!
Just hot spring sweet cakes and boiled eggs, but still.
Don't forget the telephone card.
Not that anyone uses them anymore.
If we keep going along here...
...we should get back to the surface.
Yeah!
Suetake!
Safe!
That was close.
Mika-Sensei!
Hot springs feel good, but this is too rough for me!
Let's go, Kitagawa! I'm coming, too!
If Suetake's going, so am I!
Think she'll be okay?
Mika-Sensei...
There she is!
Suetake, I need you to drive!
All right!
Mika-Sensei!
We're not going to make it!
Waterfall
You guys!
No...
No way...
The next morning...
Well, that was fun!
You had me so worried when you didn't come back...
...from the river ride until so late.
Sorry.
That was a great adventure!
Well, all we did was ride in the chopper.
I drew a manga!
It was a little scary at times...
... but it sure was fun, Mika-Sensei.
You bet, Kitagawa!
No matter what happens, I'll be there to save you, Mika-Sensei.
Um, Kitagawa...!
What do you think, Hori-Sensei?
Have you picked up any tips on how to make your class fun?
Yes.
I learned a lot from watching Mika-Sensei.
First of all...
...the teacher has to get to the students' level and have fun.
I see.
Okay! Let's all head home now!
Yay!
End of Episode 13
DON'T STOP. DON'T STOP THE MUSIC
Running up a steep hill of frozen asphalt
I can barely catch my breath
I feel like I'm about to fall apart LONELINESS
Let's listen to Rock'n'Roll If I feel like I'm about to be jilted
I put on my headphones and crank up the VOLUME
Dance like crazy and strut along in M IDNIGHT
I don't need anything
The night is harsh
But neither tears nor lies flow
DON'T STOP. DON'T STOP THE MUSIC
Let me hear the cool numbers
It's only ROCK'N ROLL (ROCK'N ROLL)
It is indeed ROCK'N ROLL (ROCK'N ROLL)
I laugh away the silly romance put to the rhythm
I smile as I lay down low
I am dynamite
Thank you!
