Listen up, my friends!
We're going to take photos of stars for the September contest now!
Okay. Yeah! 'Kay.
Treat the rental SLR cameras and camera gear with care!
Okay!
Hajime-chan, how many times was that?
When I say "stars," I mean nudes!
I see. That is profound.
No, Charles, Pin-senpai is all about nudes.
I can see them even if I close my eyes! I can see them!
I can vividly, intensely, and furiously see the female body that shines in the night sky with my mind's eye.
I can't see anything!
Yeah, I can see them.
Hey, Charles! Open your eyes! We're going to end up becoming stars!
What?!
Wow! I've always wanted to see Mount Fuji! It's so big!
Unfortunately, it's shrouded by clouds.
Yeah.
These are our plans for later, but we're going to check in to the inn, take a short break, have supper...
Time Itinerary 2018 Photography Club Training Camp Goal Theme: "Stars" (Aim for the contest grand prize!!)
...then we're going to take pictures from midnight until sunrise.
Okay!
But will we be able to see the stars?
The weather forecaster said it'll be clear skies at night, right, Mitsuyoshi?
Yeah.
Uh...
Did you say you were a rain-bringer?
Are you serious?! Teresa-chan brought the rain?!
I did...?
I'm kidding.
Wait, that was a joke?!
Then, let's go pray for the skies to clear!
Let's do it.
Roger! Indeed. Okay!

Did You Say You Were a Rain-bringer?
Mt. Mikuni #1
Wow! If I'm not mistaken, this was...
Did it stop raining in your heart?
Yes.
Always make your heart...
...rainbow!
This was the place that appeared in episode three of Rainbow Shogun season two!
Isn't that great, Teresa?
Yes!
Alec!
You're wide open!
I took your picture! I took your picture!
Speed it up, guys!
I took your picture, Alec! Alec!
'Kay!
FORTUNES 100 yen
It's been a long time since we got our fortunes, huh, Mitsuyoshi?!
Yeah.
Okay!
FORTUNE
This is it.
They say you can draw your fortune however many times you want.
Wow! I got "excellent luck"!
Excellent Luck Fortune
What does "Machibito onshin nashi kuru" mean?
It means the person you are waiting for will come.
Huh? Doesn't that mean Teresa-chan will get a boyfriend?!
I've heard that "machibito" doesn't necessarily mean a significant other, though.
Really?
It might be a soulmate, but you could be captivated with someone who will positively change your life.
Huh...
Is that so?
What about you, Alec?
What did you get? "The person you are waiting for will not come."
Considerable Luck Fortune Love: give up The person you are waiting for: will not come
"Give up on love"?
Ugh! I got the same one as Alec-san!
Don't let it get to you!
What about you, Charles?
I got "good luck." It says that my luck with love is good.
Oh, nice!
Yeah. They say that life without love is the same as being dead.
That means you're always in love, Charles. You and I are the same.
Life without HINA is the same as being dead!
Hajime-chan, everyone went to the observation deck.
I thought God was backing me up.
Don't be so depressed! It's just a fortune! I drew "excellent luck" on my third try!
Huh?
It said that my luck with love would be the best! Come with me to draw another fortune!
Right, Mitsuyoshi?
Yeah. I got "bad luck," but if this is the absolute worst luck I have, it isn't so bad.
That's great, Tada-senpai! You're super cool!
That cheered me up!
What?!
Hey, you two, come with me to draw another fortune!
It's important to have enthusiasm that's like, "Love, come to me! Bring it on!"
What is love?
Love. That is everyone falling in love with me in the way that I love myself!
Alec, don't hold back.
You can fall madly in love with me! Come on, baby!
Please save your sleep-talking for when you're asleep!
Huh?
Love is indeed a complicated thing.
Did you give up or something, Pin-senpai?
There is also love that sparks for the first time once you know someone likes you.
So, HINA has been head over heels for me ever since that day.
Pin-senpai seriously has a blissful personality, huh?
Tada-senpai, what do you think?
Love, huh?
Mitsuyoshi?
Hey, that's so vague!
How do people fall in love with others?
They look at others' faces, don't they?
Faces?
Even the structure of the human brain is extremely sensitive to faces.
I see!
But only Pin-senpai would be sensitive to breasts.
You're absolutely right.
BATH Men's Bath
We feel so refreshed, huh, Yamashita Dog?
Yeah.
That was a nice bath, huh?
Yeah.
Where is Sugimoto-kun?
I think he'll be out soon.
I can see them! I can see them!
Oh, ping pong! Play with me, Forever Alone Yamashita Dog!
What?
Just play with me, Forever Alone Yamashita Dog!
Ugh... Being forever alone has nothing to do with ping pong!
Tada-kun... care to play a game?
What?! Come on, Forever Alone Yamashita Dog!
Sure.
Huh?
Good luck, Senpai!
What's the score?
Ijuin-kun just beat Yamashita-kun.
Good game.
Yeah!
Hey, Mitsuyoshi was annihilated!
Relax a little before nighttime.
Okay. Okay! 'Kay!
Okay. I understand.
I'll give you an answer right after I check my texts. I'll talk to you later.
Can't sleep, Alec?
The wind was bothering me. Pardon me.
You don't have to be so obvious in running away.
I wasn't trying to...
I say that, but I guess I'm the one who wants to run away.
This was a long-awaited trip for me, but work wound up following me here.
If you'd like, here.
If you listen to this, you'll be able to shut out the sound of the wind.
Teresa, I'm going to buy water. Would you like some?
Yes, thank you.
The rain has lifted! Let's go take pictures, my friends!
Okay!
Be careful out there!
Okay!
Having work when you've come all the way out here has seriously gotta suck.
Yeah.
Still, this is so heavy.
This is seriously torture!
Your suffering will make the things ahead that much more enjoyable. Right, Tada?
Yeah.
Well, I can only do this sort of activity with you until the end of this year.
Yeah, you're gonna be in college next year, huh, Pin-senpai?
Did you say that Kyoto University was your first choice?
Indeed.
Kyoto has a lot of shrines, right?
Yes, it’s a very lovely place.
Kyoto is hot at this time of year.
Note: Kawadoko is a platform built over a river to alleviate the summer heat and can be found at a few Kyoto restaurants. Gozan no Okuribi is a Buddhist festival held in Kyoto on August 16.
The kawadoko and Gozan no Okuribi are pretty nice, you know.
Wow! That sounds like fun!
Well, fall, winter, and spring all have their own merits.
If I live over there next year, I'll show you around.
Next year, huh?
Oh, yeah... Teresa-chan and Alec won't be here next year, huh?
Yes, we won't.
That makes me kinda sad...
Sure does...
Our study abroad had been set for one year from the very beginning.
Everything has a beginning and end. That's life.
You say that, but you're actually sad, aren't you, Alec?
Not particularly.
There you go again!
I got the message, so...
Can I silence you for real?
Eeek!
I'm gonna go save us a spot!
Well, I feel just a little sad.
Let's go, too!
Okay.
Whoa, we've got this place all to ourselves!
It's cloudy, after all.
But there's some wind.
That's true.
Okay, everyone, set your cameras in any position you'd like, within speaking range.
We're on standby until the stars appear!
Okay. Roger that! 'Kay!
Let me see that.
There you go.
I sincerely appreciate it!
You've got it on backwards.
Thank you very much.
Are you okay with this, Ijuin?
Thank you!
Just as you'd expect, the friend you've gotta have around is Mitsuyoshi!
Hey, future super photographer!
You're being loud.
Tada-kun, did you always want to be a photographer ever since you were little?
Huh? Yeah...
It's amazing that you've kept on working towards the same dream!
Well, Teresa-chan, what do you want to be in the future?
Huh?
By the way, I wanna be an Iron Chef and a cook that'll put everyone to shame! Wait, you knew that?!
I wanted to be a ballet dancer a long time ago.
Oh, I know! I can totally imagine you as a ballerina, Teresa-chan!
You can definitely be one! Uh-huh, uh-huh!
I'd be happy if I could. But I didn't grow any taller, so I couldn't become one.
What?! So, you quit?!
Yes!
Then, what about now? What do you want to be?
Nothing worth mentioning right now...
Huh?
I want to live life with a smile on my face, if I can.
What?! That's all you dream of?! Wait, are you okay with that, Teresa-chan?
That's no good!
Be ambitious, girl!
She's fine. People who always smile are perfect in mind and body.
Huh?
I read somewhere in a book that said one thing Gagarin the cosmonaut was chosen for was his big smile.
Thank you.
I'm going to pour some coffee.
Okay!
I made it strong.
It's good!
Yeah!
Like I said, the friend you've gotta have around is Mitsuyoshi!
Yeah!
Now, staying up all night is no big deal!
What did he mean when he said, "no big deal"?
Who knows?
He's a happy person, huh?
Please have some water, if you'd like.
I sincerely appreciate it.
You sincerely appreciate it?
We can't see the stars, huh?
One more step, and you would've been in the lake.
Oh... I-I sincerely appreciate it.
I think the stars will come into view soon, once these clouds drift away for us.
Yeah.
Mitsuyoshi!
A chicken rode on a gorilla and flew in the sky!
The gorilla...
He's just sleep-talking!
Were you awake this entire time, Tada-kun?
I took a nap earlier at the inn, because this kind of opportunity is hard to come by.
And I want to take a nice picture.
Why do you work so hard?
Am I?
Yes. Ever since I first met you, you were always taking pictures or helping out at the coffee shop!
I go to school, too, you know.
That's true.
But I just felt that you truly do the best that you can all the time.
After our dad and mom passed away,
I somehow might've kept thinking that I needed to grow up quickly.
Huh?!
Did anything happen to you a long time ago, too, Teresa?
Why?
When you saw my dad's last photo, you said:
I bet you've been living your life wishing to be stronger ever since that day.
At that time, I was like, "Yeah, she's right. How does she know that?"
I wondered if you were talking about yourself.
Well...
Yes, I may have realized that I needed to grow up quickly when I was seven years old, too.
Miss Teresa!
Huh?
Please be more considerate of your situation... before acting!
Alec...
I realized for the first time that my actions hurt someone.
It hurt someone?
I made someone, who's very dear to me, cry.
I felt really sad and apologetic.
I would want to go back to that time, if it were possible.
It'd be nice if you could, but you can't.
You should just try not to repeat the same mistakes, shouldn't you?
I think that's what it means to regret.
Well, I don't mean to talk so big.
The stars are out!
Wow! They're so pretty!
That's the Milky Way!
It's caught between the Summer Triangle's Vega, Altair, and Deneb.
Yeah!
And that's the North Star.
Yeah...
It's a lucky sign that always shows us the way.
Mitsuyoshi!
Huh? What, what, what, what?! What's wrong, Teresa-chan?!
Uh...
I-I'm sorry!
It's 'cause you startled her! Right?
Y-yeah...
Really? I'm sorry.
Wait! There are so many stars out!
Yeah.
Wow! Stars, everyone! Wake up, wake up!
Whoa! Pin-senpai, stars!
They're out, huh?
Hey, Class Rep.
Hinako.
Huh?
Wow! The skies have cleared!
All right! Let's take some pictures!
'Kay!
Okay!
Wow! It's so pretty!
I had a fun summer break, thanks to you, Teresa.
If anything comes up, call me right away.
Okay.
TAKOYAKI
Takoyaki!
You're right.
Wait here.
Alec, have a little more faith in Teresa.
This is the last time, after all.
Neither Teresa nor I can live venturing off our paths that easily.
I sincerely appreciate it!
Sir Charles...
Charles, here's a souvenir!
Thank you.
Well, Princess Teresa, I'll be waiting for you in Larsenburg.
Okay.
I'll be waiting for you, too, Alec. Take care of Teresa for me.
Understood.
I love you just the way you are.
There's something I'd like to talk to you about, Miss Teresa.
Huh?

I had a fun summer break, thanks to you and your friends, Tada-kun.
I'm glad.
The peaches I bought on my trip sure were tasty.
I meant to share them, but...
Next time: Episode 9, "I Don't Have One Now."
I Don't Have One Now
That's too bad.
Until next time, everyone!
