Dog Days - First Season

The conditions for the hero to return to his original world...

are unbearably sad.

How could the hero who worked so hard for us not even bring home the memories of his time spent together with us?

That has to be wrong!

I can't allow this sad farewell!

導いて僕を… Endless Light

Guide me o' endless light.

michibiite boku wo Endless Light

「守るものがありますか?」

Is there anything for me to protect?

"mamoru mono ga arimasuka?"

言葉よりも素直な涙 隠しきれない overflow

I cannot hide these tears as they reveal my true self more than my words do; overflow

kotoba yori mo sunao na namida kakushikirenai overflow

「信じるものがありますか?」

Is there anything that I can believe in?

"shinjiru mono ga arimasuka?"

壊れそうな笑顔を何度も閉じ込め 心凍らせていた

I froze my heart after locking in my fragile smile many times.

ちっぽけなこの手に抱えきれない程の夢

These tiny hands of mine cannot carry dreams of such vastness.

想像が現実をいつの日か追い越して

Imagination will someday surpass reality

So always swim in the sea of fantasy.

Scarlet Knight

Promise

I can't eat any more...

How many days will it be until "Summer Vacation"?

Let me see..

In the Earth calender, today should be April fourth...

So... it should be a little over 100 days.

About 100 you say...

It'll be lonely without being able to see you for so long.

Well, if it's only a few days, I can also come here during short vacations.

I can be called anytime, too, if it's an emergency.

Yes, thank you, Shinku.

By the way, Princess, do we absolutely have to do this ceremony today?

We must!

You are the hero, after all.

We have to properly have a send-off ceremony.

Biscotti's hero Shinku has fulfilled the task for which he was summoned.

He will be returning to his homeland today.

Hand the Hero's sword, the Divine Sword Paladion, to the summoner, Princes Millhiore.

A little more...

Just a little more...

I want you to wait just a little bit more...

A way not to have a sad farewell with the hero...

If I just turn this page...

If I go through the next reference...

I might find a way.

Even so...

Rico,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Rico...

I couldn't find it.

I have failed after all.

That's not right.

Rico, you worked really hard.

Although I might not be able to bring back my memories or anything,

I will never forget and will one day remember again.

Hero...

Oh right...

Rico, I have a present for you.

This is a four color ball point pen and some portable speakers.

I can't give you my mobile phone but I thought you might have fun taking these apart.

I'll never take them apart.

I'll take precious care of them forever.

Forever...

Thank you, Rico.

Geez.

It seems I have to take care of you until the very end.

Don't say that.

I'm happy you're the one sending me off.

The princess is already making preparations at the main stage.

We should hurry, as well.

Right.

Oh, this is for you, Eclair.

I'm sorry it's second-hand but,

if it's okay with you, will you take it?

Well, I'll borrow it for now.

Thank you.

By the way, I saw you were giving things to the others.

Yes.

To Countess Darukian and the Head of Knights, I gave each of them commemorative coin, which happened to be in my wallet.

To Yuki, I gave my mobile phone strap, and also...

I don't like this at all. It seems like you're handing out keepsakes.

Does it?

It does!

Just as I thought.

After you're sent back, you won't be able to return to Flonyard, will you?

Huh?

You're right.

It seems like I'll lose my memories, too.

All the memories of the days I spent over here.

When did you figure it out?

Seeing how Rico was acting, anyone would have figured it out.

I see.

But really...

I hear it was fairly easy to get here.

However, I never imagined it would be like this if you wanted to go back.

That's so stupid.

Yes.

Well... I won't forget anything -

everything that happened here at Flonyard, the fact that I met everyone,

and the "easily enraged, habitually kicking, strong and right going" head of close guard -

the days that I spent with you, Eclair...

I...

have no confidence that I'll remember you.

Training, wars, and foreign affairs...

I'm really busy with daily life.

That's so sad.

If you find it sad to be forgotten...

If you don't want me to forget...

Then, whatever happens, never forget us!

Also, come back quickly.

All right.

I will.

Shinku...

Princess!

What is it, Tastumaki?

You're here too?

Yes.

He wants to send you off as well.

I see.

Huh?

Oh my.

Because only Shinku and I can be on the platform during the send-off,

say your goodbyes while you still can.

Tatsumaki, thank you.

While you were waiting, I finished the preparations for the ceremony.

When the time comes, it will be the reverse of how you came. You will rise to the sky from this place,

and you will be able to go back to your own world.

I see.

Though it's only been a little while ago since I brought you here,

it seems like it was ages ago.

Yes...

Our bringing you here and having you become the hero...

Many things have happened.

But most importantly,

After you arrived,

just being able to be with you...

made me very happy.

Very, very happy!

Me, too.

It made me happy, too!

Being summoned to Biscotti,

being able to be with Princess,

but it's all right, now.

Because summer vacation is coming up...

I'll surely be able to come back again.

Next time it'll be even more fun!

Shinku,

you shouldn't cry.

Since we will surely, definitely meet again.

Because between me

and you,

I know you'll never forget about us!

I won't forget!

I definitely, definitely won't forget you!

So then.

Princess!

Shinku!

Shinku!

Shinku!

No!

I don't want you to leave!

Princess!

I want to be with you longer, much, much longer!
