Free!: Take Your Marks (特別版 Free! -Take Your Marks-)

Breakfast is ready, Haru.

Okay.

You're not eating? It'll get cold.

Yeah.

Haru!?

H-hey!

Wait!

Haru?!

What kind of dream was that?

Are you okay, Makoto?

Thank you, Haru-chan.

I've told you to stop using -chan.

Umm... first we need to find the train.

Let's go, Haru. We need to find you a place soon.

Yeah.

What? Haru still hasn't not chosen a place to stay in Tokyo?

Yeah, even though Mako-chan decided right away after he was accepted...

Makoto is going with him even though he's already decided on a place?

Yeah he said he's going with him to pick up the key to his apartment.

Oniichan, about helping us with our club recruitment video, do you think you'll have the time?

Oh, Gou, you're there too?

Gou-san!?

I'm here too.

We're going to be putting together a spring special training for the Iwatobi Swim Club too.

Gou-san! Do you like praying mantises or water bugs more?

Praying mantises...?

Ugh, Momo, what are you doing?

Ah, Rin-senpai you're so stingy!

Well I can help you with your video, but I've got a meeting with Ai so I can only help one day.

Thank you!

Also, tell Haru, "All rooms are the same once you're asleep, so just hurry up and decide".

Hmm, even though you can't sleep if you change pillows.

Ai, Momo's training schedule for tomorrow is “Hell Number 33”.

Gugh!!

”Hell Number 33”, the one that niichan made!? Anything but that!!

Shut up!

It sounds like Momo-chan and the rest are training really hard.

Yes! We can't lose to them!

Yeah, let's hurry up and start using the new training schedule that Gou-chan made for us yesterday!

Yes, let's! I want to try to speed up my turns.

I guess Haruka-senpai and and Makoto-senpai will be arriving in Tokyo around now...

Even though we just had our graduation ceremony, it feels like we've come so far.

Tokyo isn't that far.

Rin is going to Australia after all, huh?

And... wanting to go even farther...

I need to hurry up and choose a place soon.

Yeah... Our bus back is tomorrow...

So before then.

Yeah.

You don't need to worry so much. They'll find a good place.

And if nothing else, I introduced them to a good rental agent there.

Eh? You did, Coach Sasabe?

But it seems like Amakata-sensei would be more knowledgeable about Tokyo.

EH?

That's right... You worked at a swimsuit maker in Tokyo, didn't you?

Y-yeah... well...

I'm sure you have all sorts of wonderful memories of Tokyo.

Th-that's right...

If I had to sum up my memories of Tokyo in a saying, it would be:

Its a city with delicious famous products...

A hard city.

A concrete jungle.

The city is crying, but those tears just turn Tokyo into a desert.

Amakata-sensei are you okay?

W-why did you know a real estate agent in Tokyo, Coach Sasabe?

Hm? Oh, actually I didn't know of one really.

A kind student of mine just happened to mention that their relative is a real estate agent in Tokyo.

Good Morning!

Hm? Good morning!

And speaking of... Hey, Hayato!

I wonder, what kind of person Kisumi's uncle is?

If he's just like him then I'm leaving.

Excuse me.

Welcome!

He's just like him!?

Makoto, I'm leaving.

Ah, wait, Haru!

Long time no see, Makoto. Haru.

It's actually him? Why are you here, Kisumi?

I really am leaving.

I said wait!

Man, didn't I mention it?

I didn't hear anything.

I'm going to be starting college in Tokyo this spring, too. So I'm working at my uncle's place for now.

My stuff is supposed to be arriving today.

Is that so?

Ah! Haruka-kun and Makoto-kun, right? I've heard all about you!

Welcome to Tokyo, the metropolis that drags in all those who love and desire

and also to Shigino realtors who drags in all those who dream and desire.

This is my uncle Katsumi.

Hello.

I've got some nice places lined up for you so don't worry! Kisumi, why don't you show them around.

Okay!

You got a driver's license, Kisumi?

You haven't yet, Makoto?

I was so busy with entrance exams... but Haru got one already, right?

Yeah.

You had time to get a driver's license, and yet you put off finding a place to stay. That's so like you, Haru.

Shut up.

Ah, look, we can see it. That's the first place I'm showing you.

It's a little old but it's nice and close to the station, so it's a great deal.

What do you think, Haru?

The bath is small.

Well it is one with both the toilet and bathtub in one room.

That's the most important thing to you huh, Haru?

Then, what about here? It's a little far from the station but it's a relatively new 1-bedroom apartment.

The bath is big and nice.

This place is good, isn't it?

The kitchen is nice too, right?

I doesn't use gas, but the newest tech!

I want to grill mackerel with a net pan.

Eh... But you can grill with this too?

Then, what about this place?

It's so big and pretty, and the view is amazing!

It gets great sunlight, it has a grill stove, and it even has a dishwasher!

The bath has a reheating function and... this is the price.

Wow!

Why is it so cheap?

Actually.... It's a stigmatized property.

A stigmatized property....? Does that mean?!...

Yeah... what you'd call an “accident property”.

Actually, last month the person living here-

You don't have to say it!!!

You can't stay here, Haru!

You're worrying too much.

No way! You should definitely give up on this place!

I doesn't matter what you think, does it, Makoto?

Haru's the one who would be living here.

But it would be scary when I came to hang out...

You two are as close as always, huh?

Not really. It's normal.

You're so fussy, Haru.

That's because he only specified the price and the essentials...

Uncle Katsumi worked really hard to find these for you, you know.

...I know that.

Your uncle seems really interesting.

Ah, you can tell? Whenever he came to visit me he'd always say:

”Kiss me! Catch me!”

'Catch me!' is a pun on his name, Katsumi. It's a joke of his.

Well then, I guess what's left is this place? Take a look!

This one the toilet and bath are separate, and the kitchen has a gas stove, too. It seems good, doesn't it?

I won't know ‘till I see it.

Right? But we can't go in there yet.

Eh?

The person living there should have already finished moving out, but they haven't returned the key yet.

It's from my uncle.

Eh? Already? He says my moving truck got there.

They're so early, they weren't supposed to get here ‘till this evening. I have to go.

I'm gonna pay, so you two just take your time.

Really?

Since I'm helping out with work I can just call it an expense.

See ya!

An expense!

He seems so adult, it's like he's gotten used to this place.

I wonder if we'll be able to too.

Yeah...

What should we do now?

I want to at least see it from the outside first.

Alright, then let's go? The surroundings are important too, right?

Mako-chan, is the room search going well?

Yeah, we're still looking. How are things there?

Rin-chan said he'd help with our club recruitment video!

Really? That's great. And how is practice?

That's going pretty well too!

We were just trying out a new practice schedule at Iwatobi SC,

and now we're having a meeting while eating lunch on the beach!

A meeting?

A meeting about what we should do for the stage part of the new student assembly in April.

Like how last year we showed off everyone's muscle charm points, you know?

That time we only ended up focusing on presenting muscles, so this time we're trying to make it more well-rounded.

We're planning on showing off how beautiful butterfly is on the stage to better appeal to muscly underclassmen.

It's impossible to swim butterfly on the stage, isn't it?!

It is! That's why-

Ah, sorry, I think our train is coming.

Then I'll send you a video we made earlier.

Good luck in finding a place. By the way, logically, when looking for an apartment, you should- ah, hey, Nagisa-kun!

Bye, Mako-chan! Say hi to Haru-chan for me!

Yeah. Bye.

I see. So this way they'll be able to show off butterfly on the stage.

Geez. What are they doing?

We have to try our best too.

Umm, from here it's 10 minutes....

This way?

I think so.

This area is pretty, isn't it, Haru.

Yeah.

Hey that's it, isn't it? The apartment.

Yeah, probably...

I'm glad he made it easy to understand.

Oh, this park looks a little like the one near Iwatobi Elementary.

The one where you fell down down from the monkey bars in kindergarten.

Yep, that park!

It's this one.

There's no name plate, so it seems they've already finished moving out...

Could that building be...

Yeah... it seems to be a pool.

Having a pool this close... That's an amazing thing for you, isn't it, Haru?

If you decide on this one, you'd be able to swim whenever you want, Haru.

Doesn't matter. I can swim at school.

Hey.
