Natsu no Arashi! Akinaichuu

Big news! Big news! Big news!!! Big news, boss!!!

- What's up, Hajime? - Check out this extra! - Hmm?

Arashiyama Sayoko, a police officer working at the guard house "Hako-bune"...

...was a school girl caught in the bombings of World War II.

60 years since then, she's a ghost lingering around during summer.

- Why about me? - That's not the end of it boss!

Also working at the guard house, Kaya, Yamazaki Kanako...

Fushimi Yayoi. The three are also ghosts.

Using a mysterious magic, they possess the power to travel back in time.

Who in the hell wrote this?!

Master of the news print!

Probably in spite of the incident lately, he used that Sunglass as a spy!

Horrible! For heaven's sake, I've been compromised.

I cannot stay here anymore.

Arashi-san. No matter what happens, I'm your ally!

- Hajime-chan... - I'll never forgive such a dirty person!

No matter what anyone says, I'll crush her!

No Hajime-chan! It's dangerous.

Don't stop me, Arashi.

There's a time when a man must face up to his death.

Hajime-chan.

If... if I safely return...

...I, safely, retur..."return?" How do I write that?

Argggh, I thought I just learned that.

- Like this. - Oh, that's it!

Le-Le-Let me know if you're here, Arashi-san!

Hurry up, or you'll be late to the "Hako-bune."

Good morning, Hajime-chan.

"Summer Vacation"

Welcome to Hako-bune!

To the back, please.

Hey, it's so hot today.

It's summer, of course it's hot. Come during the winter if you got complaints.

What the...?

- Isn't it hot today? - Indeed, it's hot, Arashi-san.

But the heat makes it all summer.

Speaking of summer, it's the chirping of cicadas and the crackling heat.

I think of a wind chime.

No matter how hot, when I hear the sound of the wind chime...

...the wind feels very cool. I like that.

- How elegant. - 'Scuse me, salt...

TO ME! Summer has to be "tokoroten!"

Drinking up the vinegary sauce in the end...

...makes my throat tingly, and that's DELICIOUS.

Hey. What do you like about summer, Kaya?

To me, summer is about ice cream.

Sweet, cold, and flavorful. Despite that, the transiency when it melts away on your tongue...

Aaa!! Just thinking about it makes me...!

There's no need to remember. We've got enough of 'em to sell.

Aah! It makes me...!

We're used to the idea of sweets being a luxury.

What do you like about summer, Kanako?

To me, summer is about goldfish.

I like to watch the sparkling, tiny, red fish...

...dancing in the water. How about you, Yayoi?

To me, summer is about strawberry jams.

During the early summer in the mountains, small, red, wild strawberries are ripe.

I then cook them up into delicious jams.

Noobs. Aren't you all forgetting something important?

Summer's all about the beach!

Beach?

Indeed! There's a lot of summer traditions, but the summer won't end without a trip to the beach!

Right? Therefore, I propose we all go to the beach!

That's such a bright idea! How can we speak of summer without a proper dip?!

- Don't you seem to understand well, Hajime. - But of course, Master!

- Speaking of beach... hooking up with men! - Speaking of beach... the bikini!!

For Yamato Nadeshiko from 60 years ago... ...men would be flooding around!

What a fortunate day! To be able to watch Arashi-san in a swimsuit without breaking the law!!

Using those girls as bait... I will get myself a cute guy!

Arashi-san in a swimsuit!! I must burn them into my eyes!!!

How unusual. Hajime-chan and Master AGREEING.

As usual, I sense evil thoughts.

But I don't have any swimsuits.

Me too. What am I going to do?

I'll lend y'all my swimsuits.

'scuse me, may I have some salt?

- Cute! - Are you sure?

- Ah, pick whatever you like. - I... cannot wear this.

- Why not? - The material is so scant.

Disgraceful! It looks like underwear.

- It's distinguishable. - Nowadays, this is ordinary, Kaya.

Kanako! What do you think of this?

No! You cannot! It's too early for you, Yayoi!!

No, no. It's for you, Kanako.

No?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

- How about this for you, Kaya? - Wh-Wha-What is that thing?!

- That's not a swimsuit. - Huh? What is it then?

A costume for the Asakusa Samba Carnival.

- Kaya, let's wear it! Let's wear it! - You must be joking!

Wow... so cute! Is this your swim suit, too, Master?

- Yeah, when I was younger. - I thought so too! - Impossible at your age right now. Isn't it, Master?

- Not impossible! - You'll wear it then?

No. I have my awareness as an adult woman.

So, I thought about it. Arashi. You can time travel to the past, right?!

Take me back about 10 years with your time-travel.

I'll then be a nubile teen again. Cute guys will flood around me when I wear that, right?

- Oh, I see! - Don't agree!

You still don't have a grasp about the time travel thing...

- Traveling back in time won't fix your expiration date. - I'm not expired yet!

What kind of swim suit did you pick, Arashi-san?

Secret. Wait till tomorrow!

The beach... I'm also excited!

- I'm back. - Oh. Welcome back, Jun-kun.

Thank you for the errand.

- It was heavy. - If I had known, I shouldn't have gone alone.

Don't be so whiny. Aren't you a man?

Man or woman. It's heavy either way.

It's your fault for being puny.

Shall I train you?

No thanks. My brain will turn into muscle.

Anyhow, Jun-kun, you can see Kaya's swimsuit.

Kaya-san, you're going to wear a swimsuit?

Huh? I... don't...

- What kind? I want to see it too! - Jun!

So, Kamigamo. Get your swim pants ready, OK!

Huh?

Oh what am I going to do... They're going to find out I'm a girl.

You're the one who played along, Jun.

Right! I'll play sick tomorrow!

I'm sure they won't be unreasonable, if I have a cold.

I'm sure Yasaka wouldn't want to contract it... Yes, I'll do that.

Kaya-san, I'll be sick, so please tell Yasaka that.

Hajime will come.

He'll come! He'll come no matter what!!

He's going to find out everything if he comes here.

How about fooling him by wearing a man's swim suit?

Let's borrow your father's.

- I don't think...this will work. - I thought you can pull it off, Jun.

- Sorry for being so flat-chested! - Isn't there one that covers all?

- This is the only one that covers it all. - No way you look like a man in that.

- That's why I'm in trouble! - Isn't there anything you can borrow from your sister?

There's nothing I can wear.

- Your breast size doesn't fit, huh? - Not that! It's too girly!

We'll need to find something that fits you. Let's go shop together.

Kaya-san, aren't you going to borrow from Master?

Thank you very much, Yamashiro-san.

For taking out the car and driving.

Don't worry. I was able to take a vacation. Anyhow...

...if I can go to the beach with Arashi-san, I'll call in sick either way.

Hmph!! How dare he speak to Arashi-san!

What's up Kamigamo? You're looking gloomy.

Hey Yasaka. I'm going to mention this now, but I'm sensitive to the sun light.
