1. I CAN'T HEAR
THE FIREWORKS, PART 2
Copy !req
2. Tonight...
Copy !req
3. Tonight I'm going to a fireworks display!
Copy !req
4. Even if Miss Fujiwara is a major pain,
for this one night, I'll let it go.
Copy !req
5. Because she went as far as canceling
a trip so she could go with me.
Copy !req
6. It really has been
a boring summer vacation.
Copy !req
7. For the first time, I'll go out with friends.
Copy !req
8. There's no difference.
Copy !req
9. My first time
going out with the president.
Copy !req
10. I won't watch from the window
Copy !req
11. because I finally get to go see
the huge fireworks up close!
Copy !req
12. I think that alone is enough for me
Copy !req
13. to enjoy this whole summer vacation.
Copy !req
14. See you later.
Copy !req
15. It really has been
a boring summer vacation.
Copy !req
16. I'm afraid not.
Copy !req
17. Lately, your behavior
has been unacceptable, milady.
Copy !req
18. And with a large crowd,
it would be easy to lose sight of you.
Copy !req
19. If something happened to you
during that time,
Copy !req
20. what would I say to your father?
Copy !req
21. I'm sure he wouldn't care.
Copy !req
22. I'M SORRY.
I WON'T BE ABLE TO GO TODAY.
I'M REALLY SORRY.
Copy !req
23. I'M SORRY
Copy !req
24. "I'm really sorry."
Copy !req
25. Miss Kaguya.
Copy !req
26. I want to see everyone.
Copy !req
27. I wish I'd never known about it.
Copy !req
28. If I hadn't known,
Copy !req
29. it would've been a normal summer,
Copy !req
30. and I wouldn't have suffered like this.
Copy !req
31. But... But it's okay.
Copy !req
32. Summer will be over soon.
Copy !req
33. It's okay.
Copy !req
34. It's okay.
Copy !req
35. It's okay.
Copy !req
36. It's okay.
Copy !req
37. I'M A SECOND-YEAR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT
AT SHUCHIIN ACADEMY.
Copy !req
38. THANK YOU FOR CHECKING OUT MY PAGE.
Copy !req
39. KAGUYA / 5 DAYS AGO
THIS IS MY FIRST TWEET.
Copy !req
40. KAGUYA / RIGHT NOW
I WANT TO SEE THE FIREWORKS WITH EVERYONE.
Copy !req
41. Roger.
Copy !req
42. KAGUYA / RIGHT NOW
I WANT TO SEE THE FIREWORKS WITH EVERYONE.
Copy !req
43. KAGUYA / 5 DAYS AGO
THIS IS MY FIRST TWEET.
Copy !req
44. Lady Kaguya, how long
do you intend to lie there like that?
Copy !req
45. This isn't like you.
Copy !req
46. Normally, by this point, you'd be sneaking
out of the house by hook or by crook.
Copy !req
47. No matter what I do, it won't work out.
Copy !req
48. I couldn't go shopping with everyone,
Copy !req
49. and my father has no interest
in me whatsoever.
Copy !req
50. The president didn't even send me
a single text this past month.
Copy !req
51. Nothing at all has worked out for me!
Copy !req
52. Even if I left the house right now,
it would be meaningless!
Copy !req
53. I'll never be able to see them again!
Copy !req
54. No, you'll see them once school starts
whether you like it or not.
Copy !req
55. Misfortunes never come singly.
Copy !req
56. When you're dejected,
you really go all out.
Copy !req
57. Certainly, you've been
through a rough summer.
Copy !req
58. But maybe not seeing President Shirogane
once over vacation was the best choice
Copy !req
59. if you think about it
from a long-term perspective.
Copy !req
60. Time without seeing someone
makes the heart fonder.
Copy !req
61. I'm sure the president feels
the same way you do right now.
Copy !req
62. He wants to see you so badly every day.
Copy !req
63. He counts on his fingers
Copy !req
64. how many days are left
of summer vacation.
Copy !req
65. Meanwhile,
Copy !req
66. if he could somehow meet you
in a date with destiny,
Copy !req
67. his accumulated desire...
Copy !req
68. would be set free all at once?
Copy !req
69. That's right. There you go.
Copy !req
70. Now you look like the Lady Kaguya I know.
Copy !req
71. But two of this house's butlers
are here right now.
Copy !req
72. There's no way I can escape from here
without any preparation.
Copy !req
73. Preparation, you say?
Copy !req
74. J. SUZUKI OF KOENJI
ONE OF THE METRO AREA'S
Copy !req
75. Take me to Hamamatsucho!
Copy !req
76. Please!
Copy !req
77. Lady Kaguya,
Copy !req
78. dinner is ready.
Copy !req
79. I'm not hungry.
Copy !req
80. I'm going to bed.
Copy !req
81. I'm watching the fireworks.
Copy !req
82. You don't have a problem
with that, do you?
Copy !req
83. Very well.
Copy !req
84. Gotcha.
Copy !req
85. I get the picture.
Copy !req
86. Miss Kaguya!
Copy !req
87. She may be around there.
Copy !req
88. Please stay here, Fujiwara!
Copy !req
89. The phone number you have called
Copy !req
90. is turned off or out of our service area.
Copy !req
91. It's not going through.
Copy !req
92. Is it because of the crowd?
Copy !req
93. Or because my phone is old?
Copy !req
94. Why?
Copy !req
95. Young lady, you want to go
see the fireworks, right?
Copy !req
96. There's a lot of traffic tonight
with all the cars out.
Copy !req
97. I think you might not make it in time.
Copy !req
98. I won't make it in time?
Copy !req
99. After what Hayasaka did for me?
Copy !req
100. It can't be!
Copy !req
101. Why won't anything work out for me?
Copy !req
102. Excuse me.
Copy !req
103. Yes?
Copy !req
104. I'll go the rest of the way on foot.
Copy !req
105. Be careful, young lady.
Copy !req
106. I will!
Copy !req
107. We're supposed to meet up
at Takeshiba Wharf.
Copy !req
108. The main streets are really crowded.
Copy !req
109. If I run down a backstreet,
I should be able to just make it!
Copy !req
110. I'm sure I'll meet up with them!
Copy !req
111. The first younger student I've helped...
Copy !req
112. The person who became my first friend...
Copy !req
113. The first person I like...
Copy !req
114. I'm in that circle of people!
Copy !req
115. All summer,
Copy !req
116. the only thing I've been thinking about
is how happy I would be
Copy !req
117. if I got to gaze
at those beautiful fireworks
Copy !req
118. together with my favorite people,
Copy !req
119. and how wonderful it would be.
Copy !req
120. God...
Copy !req
121. this summer,
Copy !req
122. I don't need love or romance!
Copy !req
123. So...
Copy !req
124. So, at least let me be
together with them!
Copy !req
125. has concluded.
Copy !req
126. When you leave,
Copy !req
127. please pick up your trash,
Copy !req
128. food and beverages.
Copy !req
129. Again,
Copy !req
130. this evening's fireworks display
has concluded.
Copy !req
131. When you leave,
Copy !req
132. please pick up your trash,
food and beverages.
Copy !req
133. Oh, that's right.
Copy !req
134. There is...
Copy !req
135. no God.
Copy !req
136. I wonder if they enjoyed the fireworks.
Copy !req
137. I hope so.
Copy !req
138. I only got to see the fireworks
from between the buildings,
Copy !req
139. but they were so big.
Copy !req
140. For them, the fireworks
must have looked beautiful.
Copy !req
141. If everyone else got to enjoy them,
that's enough for me.
Copy !req
142. I wanted to see them, too!
Copy !req
143. The fireworks...
Copy !req
144. With everyone!
Copy !req
145. Then, I'll show them to you.
Copy !req
146. President?
Copy !req
147. Come with me, Shinomiya!
Copy !req
148. If you wanna see them that badly,
I'll show them to you!
Copy !req
149. How...
Copy !req
150. How did you know I was here?
Copy !req
151. You mean the "Guess Shinomiya's Thoughts
and Search for Her" game?
Copy !req
152. Compared to the usual,
it was 100 times easier.
Copy !req
153. Miss Kaguya!
Copy !req
154. President, I got us a car!
Copy !req
155. That young lady again!
Copy !req
156. Everyone hop in!
Copy !req
157. There!
Copy !req
158. Driver,
Copy !req
159. get on the expressway,
Copy !req
160. and then take the Aqua-Line
towards Umihotaru!
Copy !req
161. There are fireworks that were postponed
until tonight because of the rain.
Copy !req
162. President, you mean...
Copy !req
163. Chiba!
Copy !req
164. The Kisarazu fireworks display
goes until 8:30!
Copy !req
165. Can we get to Chiba
in the next 20 minutes?
Copy !req
166. I don't know!
Copy !req
167. But it's worth the challenge.
Copy !req
168. We're gonna show Shinomiya
some fireworks!
Copy !req
169. I'll step on it, then.
Copy !req
170. This is just between you and me.
Copy !req
171. Who is this cool driver?
Copy !req
172. J. SUZUKI OF KOENJI
ONE OF THE METRO AREA'S
Copy !req
173. God, let us be in time!
Copy !req
174. President! I can't see anything outside!
Copy !req
175. The Aqua-Line is an undersea tunnel!
Of course you can't see anything!
Copy !req
176. A sign for Umihotaru service parking!
Copy !req
177. We're surfacing!
Copy !req
178. Let us be in time!
Copy !req
179. Let us be in time!
Copy !req
180. Let us be in time!
Copy !req
181. Their focus is on the fireworks.
Copy !req
182. But I'm sorry.
Copy !req
183. I can't take my eyes off of...
Copy !req
184. that face.
Copy !req
185. The sound of my
heartbeat is so noisy...
Copy !req
186. that I can't hear the fireworks.
Copy !req
187. The first day of the new school term.
Copy !req
188. Everyone has come back
to their ordinary lives
Copy !req
189. with melancholy and hope in their hearts
after a long, uneventful summer.
Copy !req
190. KAGUYA DOESN'T WANT
Copy !req
191. One man looks back upon...
Copy !req
192. TRACING SHIROGANE'S EFFORTS
Copy !req
193. CAN'T GO, CALCULATES
Copy !req
194. TO SHINOMIYA'S FAMILY'S HOUSE
Copy !req
195. MAKES CALCULATIONS IN HIS HEAD,
FIGURES OUT THE ROUTE SHINOMIYA TOOK,
Copy !req
196. a memory he made at the end.
Copy !req
197. Then, I'll show them to you.
Copy !req
198. Nooo!
Copy !req
199. And he regrets so much
that he wishes he could die!
Copy !req
200. You mean the "Guess Shinomiya's Thoughts
and Search for Her" game?
Copy !req
201. Ow! It hurts!
Copy !req
202. It hurts so bad!
Copy !req
203. A dark past!
Copy !req
204. Summer vacation was all but over,
Copy !req
205. and Shirogane hadn't seen
Shinomiya even once.
Copy !req
206. By the day of the fireworks,
Copy !req
207. Shirogane was so tense
that he couldn't hold it back!
Copy !req
208. There she is!
Copy !req
209. That bursting tension caused him
to blurt out a series of cringeworthy lines!
Copy !req
210. Then, I'll show them to you.
Copy !req
211. You mean the "Guess Shinomiya's Thoughts
and Search for Her" game?
Copy !req
212. Compared to the usual,
it was 100 times easier.
Copy !req
213. I don't know!
Copy !req
214. But it's worth the challenge.
Copy !req
215. It's a dark past
Copy !req
216. that will make him writhe in pain
when he recalls it for the next ten-odd years!
Copy !req
217. If I saw Shinomiya now...
Copy !req
218. I don't know what to say,
Copy !req
219. but the words you said that night...
How can I put it?
Copy !req
220. I guess you were like on an ego trip.
Copy !req
221. President...
Copy !req
222. it was painful.
Copy !req
223. Somebody, kill me!
Copy !req
224. Let's have fun this semester, too!
Copy !req
225. O-Oh, Fujiwara!
Copy !req
226. Shinomiya, too.
Copy !req
227. Hmph.
Copy !req
228. She won't even look at me!
Copy !req
229. She views me as someone
who's too pathetic to look at directly!
Copy !req
230. - Shinomiya, about the other night—
- Hmph.
Copy !req
231. It's worse than I thought!
Copy !req
232. Look at all this dust!
Copy !req
233. She thinks of me as someone
who's too pathetic to even be around!
Copy !req
234. Wrong! Certainly,
Kaguya is avoiding Shirogane.
Copy !req
235. But it's definitely not out of any ill will.
Copy !req
236. In fact, it's just the opposite.
Copy !req
237. These actions are induced
by bashfulness and nervousness.
Copy !req
238. Perhaps it might be called
"like-avoidance."
Copy !req
239. Wh-Why am I avoiding him?
Copy !req
240. I-It's like I'm self-conscious
around him or something!
Copy !req
241. Talk to him.
Copy !req
242. Just like you did
before summer vacation.
Copy !req
243. I have to win Shinomiya's trust back!
Copy !req
244. Naturally, cheerfully...
Copy !req
245. I-I'll greet her naturally first!
Copy !req
246. A straight line linked them
as they moved from opposite directions.
Copy !req
247. A development that would certainly
make them talk to each other.
Copy !req
248. However...
Copy !req
249. Miss Fujiwara,
we need to clean the floor first.
Copy !req
250. Oh, that's right!
Copy !req
251. Dusty.
Copy !req
252. It's hard to strike up a conversation!
Copy !req
253. I'll clean over here.
Copy !req
254. They were both back in the saddle,
ready to give it another go!
Copy !req
255. And yet the result was the same.
Copy !req
256. No good! The closer I get to the president,
the harder it is to look at him directly!
Copy !req
257. What kind of expression should I have
when I say something to Shinomiya?
Copy !req
258. They continued to pass each other by,
Copy !req
259. just barely missing,
Copy !req
260. like two aircraft in a dogfight!
Copy !req
261. But walking by each other twice
is unnatural.
Copy !req
262. Was it a coincidence?
Copy !req
263. I see. The president is being shy.
Copy !req
264. In that case, there's no need
for me to be bashful.
Copy !req
265. I'm totally calm.
Copy !req
266. I can do this!
Copy !req
267. This time, I can go over to him.
Copy !req
268. I can go over to her!
Copy !req
269. An asterisk!
Copy !req
270. Miss Fujiwara,
are you making fun of me?
Copy !req
271. Keep your mind on the cleaning!
Copy !req
272. What are the rules of this game?
Copy !req
273. I have to talk to her
and clear up this misunderstanding!
Copy !req
274. This time, for sure!
Copy !req
275. I see! It's not an asterisk!
Copy !req
276. Hey, what's up?
Copy !req
277. But it's a triangle!
Copy !req
278. Now what?
Copy !req
279. You're mocking me, too, aren't you?
Copy !req
280. Did I do something?
Copy !req
281. Jeez, you don't get it at all,
do you, Ishigami?
Copy !req
282. Why are you suddenly
looking down on me?
Copy !req
283. Ishigami, am I really
that amusing to you?
Copy !req
284. You, too, President?
Copy !req
285. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
286. This is over my head,
so I'm going home.
Copy !req
287. Ishigami was shot down.
Copy !req
288. Poor Ishigami. But four's a crowd.
Copy !req
289. Three's a crowd, Miss Fujiwara.
Copy !req
290. Why?
Copy !req
291. Fujiwara was shot down.
Copy !req
292. What the hell is going on here?
Copy !req
293. I know I've been avoiding her,
Copy !req
294. but Shinomiya has been doing
the same thing, too, repeatedly.
Copy !req
295. Maybe...
Copy !req
296. she feels self-conscious!
Copy !req
297. Calm down, Kaguya!
Copy !req
298. Close your eyes! It'll be okay!
Copy !req
299. Maybe she didn't think
I was pathetic but actually cool!
Copy !req
300. Shirogane was back on his feet!
Copy !req
301. This time for sure!
Copy !req
302. This time...
Copy !req
303. There's something
I really wanted to tell you, President.
Copy !req
304. President, on the night of the fireworks...
Copy !req
305. I have to tell him.
Copy !req
306. I have to say "Thank you"!
Copy !req
307. Um,
Copy !req
308. that was painful, huh?
Copy !req
309. President, on the night of the fireworks...
Copy !req
310. Painful, painful, painful, painful,
painful, painful, painful, painful...
Copy !req
311. That was painful, huh?
Copy !req
312. I-I know, right?
Copy !req
313. Shirogane was shot down.
Copy !req
314. President!
There's something I want to tell you!
Copy !req
315. I-I get it already!
Copy !req
316. Please wait up, President!
Copy !req
317. FLYING ACE SHINOMIYA'S
Copy !req
318. And so, they were back to normal.
Copy !req
319. The second semester had begun.
Copy !req
320. A romantic battle of the brains.
Copy !req
321. A battle of the sexes in which
neither side can afford to be honest.
Copy !req
322. With unspoken feelings
hidden in their hearts,
Copy !req
323. they continue making their wish
Copy !req
324. for the other person to confess their love.
Copy !req
325. I swear I'll make you say it.
Copy !req
326. You'll say "I love you."
Copy !req
