No! Not that!

Do it!

Wait! Let's not be hasty here!

All right!

He stopped it?

He said he stopped the calamity 15 years ago?

That's what he claims,

though he apparently doesn't remember any details.

Do you remember Mr. Matsunaga?

Of course. We were in the same club.

You were?

Did he ever talk about how he stopped it?

I can't recall ever hearing anything about that.

You went on a class trip

during summer break that year, right?

Yes.

It didn't seem like a good idea to stay confined at home.

What happened on that trip?

I'm sure something happened,

but I couldn't tell you what.

I see...

I'm no help, I know. Sorry.

It's okay.

I'm fine, so there's no need to push yourself.

So, Mr. Matsunaga went on the trip, too?

I think so.

Yeah, he did.

Did anything seem strange about him?

I don't think so.

I guess all we can do is ask him...

Okay. I'll run it by Matsu for you.

When you go to talk to him, I'll go with you.

Morning!

Good morning!

Morning.

What's all that stuff for?

I stocked up on supplies!

Sorry to keep you.

Are you okay? You don't look so good.

It's nothing. Just a little carsick...

He tries too hard...

You're coming, too, Akazawa?

Of course I am.

Why don't you ride in this car?

Yours doesn't look like it can handle four.

It's no problem. This car runs better than you'd think.

That was unnecessary.

Okay...

Then, Teshigawara, you're in my car.

Um, okay.

Nakao, since you get carsick, you're up front.

Okay.

Well, let's go.

So Mr. Matsunaga won't be coming back to Yomiyama for a while?

I spoke to his mother,

and she said he's living at the resort hotel where he works.

City of Yomiyama Please Come Again!

Sanami Town

We made it out of Yomiyama without any trouble.

Yeah...

Let's get a move on!

Um, Reiko?

What?

Oh, nothing...

If you're gonna drive that slow, get out of the fast lane.

I guess you can't judge a book by its cover.

I don't know, I think you're pretty easy to read.

Oh, yeah?

Please, describe me.

Uh, well...

Strong and dependable?

Wow, am I that macho?

Well, you are tough,

and you've got a strong sense of responsibility.

Stuff like that.

You're supposed to say, "That's not what I meant."

That's not what I meant.

What's with the tone? So annoying.

I've gotta pay you back now and then.

By the way, you're the head of countermeasures, right?

How is it decided who gets that role?

Usually, they're appointed by the teacher.

It's not a popular job.

In a way, you could say

they're responsible for the lives of the entire class.

So, were you appointed?

I nominated myself.

Why?

Maybe no one else actually believed in the calamity,

but I was different.

I can't allow such a senseless phenomenon to exist.

I'm going to put an end to it.

So hot...

They said Matsunaga was suddenly called to a reception.

I left my cell phone number,

so he should call me when he gets back.

What should we do until then?

No point in sitting around waiting, right?

Yeah, we came all this way.

Since we're outside Yomiyama, the calamity shouldn't affect us.

Let's go swimming!

We are near the ocean, after all.

All right!

But I didn't bring my trunks!

You can get some at the hotel.

They don't cost much. I'll buy you a pair.

I couldn't ask you to do that.

If you're not swimming, I won't, either.

Well, I thought this might happen, so...

Oh, don't tell me...

I thought that seemed like a lot of luggage.

It's a seaside resort, after all.

Not to mention we're outside Yomiyama.

And it's summer break.

It'd be too depressing to sit at home the entire time.

We have to spread our wings a little.

It's the sea!

The sea in summer!

It's mine!

All right!

Misaki?

Sakakibara?

Oh no, my glasses...

You'll pay for that!

Ready, set, dunk!

Is your family's summer house nearby?

Yes.

What does your dad do?

I'm not quite sure.

He's rarely in Japan.

That's why we put on these little family acts

on the rare occasions when he comes home.

We may be a family, but we aren't really connected.

Not that I care.

Hey, if we find out who the dead person is after this,

would making them nonexistent stop the calamity?

I don't think that would work.

It's already been triggered.

I think it's too late to try to balance everything out now.

Did they connect?

Seems so.

Connecting every now and then can't be so bad, can it?

I suppose.

Anyone up for lunch?

Yes!

Hey, wait!

Should we go back to the hotel?

I'm fine with something from a convenience store.

There are also seaside shops.

Hold it, you guys!

We're at the beach.

How could we not make the most of the outdoor life?

You want to cook here?

I knew you'd get it, Akazawa!

What?

How are we supposed to do that without any tools?

I've got the bases covered!

Take a look at this flawless setup!

You're such an idiot.

This is what was in that huge bag?

Are you going to cook?

Huh? Cook?
