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. KAGUYA
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. KAGUYA
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. WIRELESS

75. J. SUZUKI OF KOENJI
ONE OF THE METRO AREA'S
BIG FOUR RAMEN KINGS
Copy !req
76. Take me to Hamamatsucho!
Copy !req
77. Please!
Copy !req
78. Lady Kaguya,
Copy !req
79. dinner is ready.
Copy !req
80. I'm not hungry.
Copy !req
81. I'm going to bed.
Copy !req
82. I'm watching the fireworks.
Copy !req
83. You don't have a problem
with that, do you?
Copy !req
84. Very well.
Copy !req
85. Gotcha.
Copy !req
86. I get the picture.
Copy !req
87. Miss Kaguya!
Copy !req
88. She may be around there.
Copy !req
89. Please stay here, Fujiwara!
Copy !req
90. The phone number you have called
Copy !req
91. is turned off or out of our service area.
Copy !req
92. It's not going through.
Copy !req
93. Is it because of the crowd?
Copy !req
94. Or because my phone is old?
Copy !req
95. Why?
Copy !req
96. Young lady, you want to go
see the fireworks, right?
Copy !req
97. There's a lot of traffic tonight
with all the cars out.
Copy !req
98. I think you might not make it in time.
Copy !req
99. I won't make it in time?
Copy !req
100. After what Hayasaka did for me?
Copy !req
101. It can't be!
Copy !req
102. Why won't anything work out for me?
Copy !req
103. Excuse me.
Copy !req
104. Yes?
Copy !req
105. I'll go the rest of the way on foot.
Copy !req
106. Be careful, young lady.
Copy !req
107. I will!
Copy !req
108. We're supposed to meet up
at Takeshiba Wharf.
Copy !req
109. The main streets are really crowded.
Copy !req
110. If I run down a backstreet,
I should be able to just make it!
Copy !req
111. I'm sure I'll meet up with them!
Copy !req
112. The first younger student I've helped...
Copy !req
113. The person who became my first friend...
Copy !req
114. The first person I like...
Copy !req
115. I'm in that circle of people!
Copy !req
116. SHOPPING
FIREWORKS FESTIVAL
Copy !req
117. All summer,
Copy !req
118. the only thing I've been thinking about
is how happy I would be
Copy !req
119. if I got to gaze
at those beautiful fireworks
Copy !req
120. together with my favorite people,
Copy !req
121. and how wonderful it would be.
Copy !req
122. God...
Copy !req
123. this summer,
Copy !req
124. I don't need love or romance!
Copy !req
125. So...
Copy !req
126. So, at least let me be
together with them!
Copy !req
127. has concluded.
Copy !req
128. When you leave,
Copy !req
129. please pick up your trash,
Copy !req
130. food and beverages.
Copy !req
131. Again,
Copy !req
132. this evening's fireworks display
has concluded.
Copy !req
133. When you leave,
Copy !req
134. please pick up your trash,
food and beverages.
Copy !req
135. Oh, that's right.
Copy !req
136. There is...
Copy !req
137. no God.
Copy !req
138. I wonder if they enjoyed the fireworks.
Copy !req
139. I hope so.
Copy !req
140. I only got to see the fireworks
from between the buildings,
Copy !req
141. but they were so big.
Copy !req
142. For them, the fireworks
must have looked beautiful.
Copy !req
143. If everyone else got to enjoy them,
that's enough for me.
Copy !req
144. I wanted to see them, too!
Copy !req
145. The fireworks...
Copy !req
146. With everyone!
Copy !req
147. Then, I'll show them to you.
Copy !req
148. President?
Copy !req
149. Come with me, Shinomiya!
Copy !req
150. If you wanna see them that badly,
I'll show them to you!
Copy !req
151. How...
Copy !req
152. How did you know I was here?
Copy !req
153. You mean the "Guess Shinomiya's Thoughts
and Search for Her" game?
Copy !req
154. Compared to the usual,
it was 100 times easier.
Copy !req
155. Miss Kaguya!
Copy !req
156. President, I got us a car!
Copy !req
157. That young lady again!
Copy !req
158. Everyone hop in!
Copy !req
159. There!
Copy !req
160. Driver,
Copy !req
161. get on the expressway,
Copy !req
162. and then take the Aqua-Line
towards Umihotaru!
Copy !req
163. There are fireworks that were postponed
until tonight because of the rain.
Copy !req
164. President, you mean...
Copy !req
165. Chiba!
Copy !req
166. The Kisarazu fireworks display
goes until 8:30!
Copy !req
167. Can we get to Chiba
in the next 20 minutes?
Copy !req
168. I don't know!
Copy !req
169. But it's worth the challenge.
Copy !req
170. We're gonna show Shinomiya
some fireworks!
Copy !req
171. I'll step on it, then.
Copy !req
172. This is just between you and me.
Copy !req
173. Who is this cool driver?
Copy !req
174. J. SUZUKI OF KOENJI
ONE OF THE METRO AREA'S
BIG FOUR RAMEN KINGS
Copy !req
175. God, let us be in time!
Copy !req
176. President! I can't see anything outside!
Copy !req
177. The Aqua-Line is an undersea tunnel!
Of course you can't see anything!
Copy !req
178. A sign for Umihotaru service parking!
Copy !req
179. We're surfacing!
Copy !req
180. Let us be in time!
Copy !req
181. Let us be in time!
Copy !req
182. Let us be in time!
Copy !req
183. Their focus is on the fireworks.
Copy !req
184. But I'm sorry.
Copy !req
185. I can't take my eyes off of...
Copy !req
186. that face.
Copy !req
187. The sound of my
heartbeat is so noisy...
Copy !req
188. that I can't hear the fireworks.
Copy !req
189. The first day of the new school term.
Copy !req
190. Everyone has come back
to their ordinary lives
Copy !req
191. with melancholy and hope in their hearts
after a long, uneventful summer.
Copy !req
192. KAGUYA DOESN'T WANT
TO AVOID HIM
Copy !req
193. One man looks back upon...
Copy !req
194. TRACING SHIROGANE'S EFFORTS
SAVING A SPOT SIX HOURS
BEFORE THE DISPLAY
Copy !req
195. GETS THE NEWS THAT SHINOMIYA
CAN'T GO, CALCULATES
HOW SHE REALLY FEELS FROM HER TWEET
Copy !req
196. RIDES LIKE THE WIND
TO SHINOMIYA'S FAMILY'S HOUSE
Copy !req
197. USING BINOCULARS OUTSIDE THE HOUSE,
REALIZES SHINOMIYA IS USING
A "BODY DOUBLE" (HAYASAKA),
GOES BACK THE WAY HE CAME AT MACH SPEED
Copy !req
198. MAKES CALCULATIONS IN HIS HEAD,
FIGURES OUT THE ROUTE SHINOMIYA TOOK,
DETERMINES HER LOCATION
Copy !req
199. USES THE EVENT INFO
HE HAD INPUT EARLIER,
RIDES LIKE THE WIND
IN A TAXI TO KISARAZU
Copy !req
200. PAYS THE CAB FARE TO THE TUNE
OF 17,320 YEN (TAKEN FROM
THE POTENTIAL "SHINOMIYA
SUMMER VACATION BUDGET")
Copy !req
201. USES THE EVENT INFO
HE HAD INPUT EARLIER,
RIDES LIKE THE WIND
IN A TAXI TO KISARAZU
Copy !req
202. a memory he made at the end.
Copy !req
203. Then, I'll show them to you.
Copy !req
204. Nooo!
Copy !req
205. And he regrets so much
that he wishes he could die!
Copy !req
206. You mean the "Guess Shinomiya's Thoughts
and Search for Her" game?
Copy !req
207. Ow! It hurts!
Copy !req
208. It hurts so bad!
Copy !req
209. A dark past!
Copy !req
210. Summer vacation was all but over,
Copy !req
211. and Shirogane hadn't seen
Shinomiya even once.
Copy !req
212. By the day of the fireworks,
Copy !req
213. Shirogane was so tense
that he couldn't hold it back!
Copy !req
214. There she is!
Copy !req
215. That bursting tension caused him
to blurt out a series of cringeworthy lines!
Copy !req
216. Then, I'll show them to you.
Copy !req
217. You mean the "Guess Shinomiya's Thoughts
and Search for Her" game?
Copy !req
218. Compared to the usual,
it was 100 times easier.
Copy !req
219. I don't know!
Copy !req
220. But it's worth the challenge.
Copy !req
221. It's a dark past
Copy !req
222. that will make him writhe in pain
when he recalls it for the next ten-odd years!
Copy !req
223. If I saw Shinomiya now...
Copy !req
224. I don't know what to say,
Copy !req
225. but the words you said that night...
How can I put it?
Copy !req
226. I guess you were like on an ego trip.
Copy !req
227. President...
Copy !req
228. it was painful.
Copy !req
229. Somebody, kill me!
Copy !req
230. Let's have fun this semester, too!
Copy !req
231. O-Oh, Fujiwara!
Copy !req
232. Shinomiya, too.
Copy !req
233. STUDENT COUNCIL ROOM
Copy !req
234. Hmph.
Copy !req
235. She won't even look at me!
Copy !req
236. She views me as someone
who's too pathetic to look at directly!
Copy !req
237. - Shinomiya, about the other night—
- Hmph.
Copy !req
238. It's worse than I thought!
Copy !req
239. Look at all this dust!
Copy !req
240. She thinks of me as someone
who's too pathetic to even be around!
Copy !req
241. Wrong! Certainly,
Kaguya is avoiding Shirogane.
Copy !req
242. But it's definitely not out of any ill will.
Copy !req
243. In fact, it's just the opposite.
Copy !req
244. These actions are induced
by bashfulness and nervousness.
Copy !req
245. Perhaps it might be called
"like-avoidance."
Copy !req
246. Wh-Why am I avoiding him?
Copy !req
247. I-It's like I'm self-conscious
around him or something!
Copy !req
248. HRRRMMM
Copy !req
249. Talk to him.
Copy !req
250. Just like you did
before summer vacation.
Copy !req
251. I have to win Shinomiya's trust back!
Copy !req
252. Naturally, cheerfully...
Copy !req
253. I-I'll greet her naturally first!
Copy !req
254. A straight line linked them
as they moved from opposite directions.
Copy !req
255. A development that would certainly
make them talk to each other.
Copy !req
256. However...
Copy !req
257. Miss Fujiwara,
we need to clean the floor first.
Copy !req
258. Oh, that's right!
Copy !req
259. Dusty.
Copy !req
260. It's hard to strike up a conversation!
Copy !req
261. I'll clean over here.
Copy !req
262. They were both back in the saddle,
ready to give it another go!
Copy !req
263. And yet the result was the same.
Copy !req
264. No good! The closer I get to the president,
the harder it is to look at him directly!
Copy !req
265. What kind of expression should I have
when I say something to Shinomiya?
Copy !req
266. They continued to pass each other by,
Copy !req
267. just barely missing,
Copy !req
268. like two aircraft in a dogfight!
Copy !req
269. But walking by each other twice
is unnatural.
Copy !req
270. Was it a coincidence?
Copy !req
271. I see. The president is being shy.
Copy !req
272. In that case, there's no need
for me to be bashful.
Copy !req
273. I'm totally calm.
Copy !req
274. I can do this!
Copy !req
275. This time, I can go over to him.
Copy !req
276. I can go over to her!
Copy !req
277. An asterisk!
Copy !req
278. Miss Fujiwara,
are you making fun of me?
Copy !req
279. Keep your mind on the cleaning!
Copy !req
280. What are the rules of this game?
Copy !req
281. I have to talk to her
and clear up this misunderstanding!
Copy !req
282. This time, for sure!
Copy !req
283. I see! It's not an asterisk!
Copy !req
284. Hey, what's up?
Copy !req
285. But it's a triangle!
Copy !req
286. Now what?
Copy !req
287. You're mocking me, too, aren't you?
Copy !req
288. Did I do something?
Copy !req
289. Jeez, you don't get it at all,
do you, Ishigami?
Copy !req
290. Why are you suddenly
looking down on me?
Copy !req
291. Ishigami, am I really
that amusing to you?
Copy !req
292. You, too, President?
Copy !req
293. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
294. This is over my head,
so I'm going home.
Copy !req
295. Ishigami was shot down.
Copy !req
296. Poor Ishigami. But four's a crowd.
Copy !req
297. Three's a crowd, Miss Fujiwara.
Copy !req
298. Why?
Copy !req
299. Fujiwara was shot down.
Copy !req
300. What the hell is going on here?
Copy !req
301. I know I've been avoiding her,
Copy !req
302. but Shinomiya has been doing
the same thing, too, repeatedly.
Copy !req
303. Maybe...
Copy !req
304. she feels self-conscious!
Copy !req
305. Calm down, Kaguya!
Copy !req
306. Close your eyes! It'll be okay!
Copy !req
307. Maybe she didn't think
I was pathetic but actually cool!
Copy !req
308. Shirogane was back on his feet!
Copy !req
309. This time for sure!
Copy !req
310. This time...
Copy !req
311. There's something
I really wanted to tell you, President.
Copy !req
312. President, on the night of the fireworks...
Copy !req
313. I have to tell him.
Copy !req
314. I have to say "Thank you"!
Copy !req
315. Um,
Copy !req
316. that was painful, huh?
Copy !req
317. President, on the night of the fireworks...
Copy !req
318. Painful, painful, painful, painful,
painful, painful, painful, painful...
Copy !req
319. That was painful, huh?
Copy !req
320. I-I know, right?
Copy !req
321. Shirogane was shot down.
Copy !req
322. President!
There's something I want to tell you!
Copy !req
323. I-I get it already!
Copy !req
324. Please wait up, President!
Copy !req
325. FLYING ACE SHINOMIYA'S
VICTORY
Copy !req
326. And so, they were back to normal.
Copy !req
327. The second semester had begun.
Copy !req
328. A romantic battle of the brains.
Copy !req
329. A battle of the sexes in which
neither side can afford to be honest.
Copy !req
330. With unspoken feelings
hidden in their hearts,
Copy !req
331. they continue making their wish
Copy !req
332. for the other person to confess their love.
Copy !req
333. I swear I'll make you say it.
Copy !req
334. LOVE IS WAR
Copy !req
335. You'll say "I love you."
Copy !req
