"Something wasn't right." "that's how I felt." "While I was watching a match between two teams that I had never heard of before on TV" "I got the feeling that Haruhi was about to cause a commotion again." "{On Screen:" "Incoming...} the phone..." "You don't have to tell me." "I know." "Kyon." "right?" "We're all meeting in front of the station at exactly 2 o'clock." "Make sure you come!" "I didn't even get to say a thing." "What?" "I forgot to tell you what to bring." "Bring your swimming gear and lots of money!" "And make sure- right?" "Huh?" "Yeah." "You know what I'm thinking." "You're paying if you're late!" "How did I know about the bike?" "He hit it!" "And it goes... and goes..." "It's going over the left field wall!" "I think he's going to reach home." "He reached home!" "That was a home run." "See?" "The visitors are in the lead with 8 runs!" "Where did I put my swim trunks again?" "Summer is going to end soon." "Kyon!" "395)}Endless Eight yeah." "Sorry for making you guys wait." "too." "Jeez." "You need to show more enthusiasm!" "let's go!" "Where are we going?" "of course!" "I see." "so I guess we would." "we should have summer activities like what people do in the summer!" "you know." "That's why we're doing this now!" "This is our once-in-a-lifetime freshman summer vacation!" "Kyon!" "You listening?" "we're going to the pool by bike." "Where'd you guys put your bikes?" "you and I are the only ones who brought bikes." "in other words..." "This was the plan!" "?" "Kyon?" "You can't lose to Koizumi-kun!" "take off!" "Charge!" "Demon!" "Monster!" "Sign:" "Please park bikes and motorbikes in an orderly fashion." "Kyon!" "We came here to have fun!" "Why're you acting all worn out already?" "Just whose fault do you think that is?" "Whose!" "?" "the crowds!" "The smell of chlorine!" "This is what it's all about!" "let's find a place to put our bags and go swim!" "Wait!" "Can't she read the signs that say "No Diving"?" "The water is nice and warm!" "Mikuru-chan!" "Yuki!" "What are you two doing?" "Hurry up and get in!" "You go in first." "She's getting noisy again." "All right then." "Suzumiya-san!" "Wait for us!" "You guys are so slow." "W-Wait!" "Don't pull... doesn't it?" "I mean." "Don't you think she may have found a normal way of enjoying things?" "Is inviting people by calling them up all of a sudden then hanging up on them after stating her one-sided demands considered "normal"?" "From my perspective something that minor isn't a big deal at all." "there shouldn't be anything happening that will endanger the world." "If only that were true..." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "It's probably just my imagination." "We've been through a lot since spring." "I think I might have become a little neurotic." "Weird." "Him too?" "this should be called a "pool for the masses" instead of a "pool for the public"." "So that's where she went?" "What's with her?" "What's she doing all by herself?" "What?" "What's this feeling?" "I feel like I've seen this..." "I've seen Nagato like this before." "Kyon!" "Haruhi!" "I'm certain Haruhi said something like..." ""These two are my brigade members." ""They'll listen to everything I say." "So ask them anything!" "We're going to play water soccer!" "All members have to participate!" "Yuki!" "Since when was I capable of precognition?" "Kyon." "Take the ball." "Guess I'm not." "I'm sure it was a fluke." "I guess." "I've decided on the activities!" "What's that exactly?" "It's our plan for how to pass what little remains of summer vacation!" "There's only two weeks left!" "All of this in just under two weeks?" "do you have anything you want to do?" "Maybe goldfish scooping?" "Okay!" "Goldfish... scooping." "I'm sorry." "Please excuse me." "Thanks." "we're going to start tomorrow!" "I wonder if there's an Obon festival being held near here." "A fireworks show would be nice too." "I'll look into it." "I'll contact you later on." "Don't forget the goldfish scooping!" "after all." "I'm paying again?" "I told you that you'd be paying if you were late." "that's it for today!" "Later!" "Me too." "See you later." "Okay." "Nagato?" "well..." "It's nothing." "How have you been feeling lately?" "Been doing fine?" "Fine." "I see." "That's great." "Indeed." "Well... that's all." "for holding you up." "Why?" "Why did I call out to her exactly?" "The next morning." "Haruhi called me again." ""We've found an Obon festival location." ""Tonight at the public sports ground." "Sorry for the wait!" "You're slo" "Woah!" "You girls look great." "after all." "Especially Mikuru-chan!" "I'm impressed with my own sense of style!" "it's great." "Great!" "Hmm..." "I wonder where the important stuff is." "Why?" "I feel like I've been here recently." "That stage..." "That food stall..." "My memories are..." "Mikuru-chan!" "The goldfish scooping you wanted to do is over there!" "Let's catch a ton!" "please wait!" "Shall we do the same?" "it's all right." "do you want to get something to eat?" "You're interested in that stuff?" "Which one do you want?" "It's fine." "This one." "Storekeeper:" "Sure!" "That'll be 800 yen." "but..." "Thirteen fish!" "we just took one each." "Here." "I'll let you have one." "Thanks." "what's with the mask?" "I bought it." "Oh... really." "Right!" "Fireworks are next!" "Let's do that to finish today off!" "it was summer vacation." "but there was one thing bothering me." "We'll go bug catching tomorrow." "but have you finished your homework?" "Homework?" "You can do all of that in three days." "then knock yourself out with fun." "That's the right way to enjoy summer vacation!" "why are you so unfair?" "Everyone!" "We're catching bugs tomorrow!" "Cicadas only!" "It'll be the SOS Brigade Cicada Catching Competition!" "it was ridiculously nice." "we held the SOS Brigade Cicada Catching Competition." "but... the winner was Haruhi." "We should go with a "catch and release" mentality after all." "they might repay us with a favor in the future." "What can a short-lived cicada do for us?" "I felt like I was Pandora." "we were gathered for some random reason given a bunch of frog costumes to wear and ended up handing out balloons in front of a supermarket as a part-time job." "Now I know what the Hajj feel like." "Thanks for your hard work everyone!" "What's with her cheerfulness anyway?" "Good job!" "The manager was really grateful!" "I don't need the old man's gratitude." "Where's our pay?" "This is it." "I've wanted this for a while now!" "He said he'd give it to us because of Mikuru-chan!" "You made us do all that work just for the sake of getting that?" "Let's decorate the clubroom with this in commemoration!" "you can wear it whenever you want." "I give you permission!" "Um..." "Err..." "Thank you very much." "my slumber was once again stolen away by none other than a phone call." "Shut up..." "Shut up..." "Damn it..." "Yeah?" "Kyon-kun..." "Asahina-san?" "it's me." "Something terrible has..." "If this goes on..." "I'll..." "Um...?" "this is Koizumi." "Why are you together with Asahina-san?" "A slight problem has occurred." "Do you think you could come right now?" "I'll go." "I'll go immediately." "Asahina-san!" "What exactly happened?" "Kyon-kun..." "I the future... {originally "...can't..."}" "I can't go back to the future!" "{originally "...go back to the future!"}" "Fu-{\alphaHff} Fut" " Future?" "{Can we time this so each part appears progressively?" "}" "Fu" " Fut- {\alphaHff}Future?" "{Can we time this so each part appears progressively?" "}" "Fu" " Fut" " Future?" "{Can we time this so each part appears progressively?" "}" "that's what happened." "We're currently looping through the same time period over and over again." "you said that quite cheerfully." "Do you have any idea what you're saying?" "I do." "There's nothing more to it." "I was talking to Asahina-san just now." "Call me for a meeting too!" "I happened to notice that the flow of time lately has felt strange." "I guess you can say Asahina-san was the one that discovered it." "I was able to confirm something." "Confirm what?" "We've experienced a repeat of the same time period many times already." "You told me that already." "it's from August 17th to August 31st." "We are caged up in an endless summer vacation." "It certainly is summer vacation now." "endless summer." "The world now has lost all its time after September 1st." "That's the reason why Asahina-san is unable to return to the future." "I guess that's only natural." "What part of physics argues that a state of "no future" is natural?" "Who the hell would believe that?" "would believe it." "So does that mean that we're inside something similar to an enclosed space?" "that's not the case." "One part of the time continuum has just been cut off." "everything will be reset at exactly 2400 hours and we will return to August the 17th again." "That's the process." "huh?" "since people from the future are involved in this." "No." "This one has nothing to do with Asahina-san." "Then what's the reason?" "Probably Suzumiya-san." "She might be unaware of it herself but a part of her must not want summer to end." "What the hell?" "Does she have some sort of regret?" "I believe so." "It may very well be the fact that she feels like she still has something left to do during summer vacation." "So what do you want me to do?" "I would have already resolved it." "You look like you're having fun." "I've finally managed to solve the riddle of déjà vu being left as imprints from past loops." "don't tell me everyone in the world feels it too." "It doesn't look like it." "You and I are special cases." "Just by being close to Suzumiya-san we've become the only ones capable of feeling it." "What about Haruhi?" "She isn't the least bit aware of this?" "It doesn't look like it." "Things would probably be a lot more complicated if she did." "with the déjà vu" "I'm thinking that there must be someone who has retained all of his or her memories of the repeated time." "That sounds like some kind of conspiracy talk." "And who would that "someone" be?" "I think you'll know without me having to say it." "The Integrated Data Sentient Entity's human interface for example?" "Nagato is this true?" "Yes." "Do you remember everything?" "Yes." "how many times have we been "reset"?" "five hundred and thirteenth time." "five hundred and thirteenth time?" "513?" "what are you talking about?" "Are you serious?" "Yes." "So we did the same thing over and over again each and every one of those times?" "That is not necessarily the case." "That means... 513 iterations" "391 times 054 times." "Obon minus the goldfish catching occurred 437 times." "031 times." "there have been six variations..." "Besides distributing balloons answered calls... that's enough." "513 times." "That's what Nagato said." "Times the 2 weeks is... about 594 years. {Kyon can't do maths." "Should be 596!" "}" "living it over and over again while retaining her memories?" "just how does it feel to have lived through all this?" "I wonder if they're there?" "Huh?" "Martians." "I don't really want them to be there." "They might just be a timid people that live underground." "They're probably a friendly bunch." "There's no way that could happen." "I'm bored." "Let's look for UFOs!" "anyway?" "I wonder about about that too." "this problem will be relatively straightforward to solve." "why don't we try this out for starters?" "Suddenly hug Suzumiya-san from behind" "I love you"." "And who's doing that?" "There's no one more suitable than you." "I exercise my right to veto." "I won't do it even if beaten to death." "I guess so..." "Shall I do it instead then?" "I'm kidding." "I'm not qualified for that role." "That would only put Suzumiya-san into an unnecessary state of confusion." "Nagato." "Even before you talked to Asahina-san right?" "Yes." "So why did you keep quiet about it?" "My mission is to observe." "I see." "I did it!" "Look!" "I got a home run!" "Yay!" "I did it!" "I did it!" "And we continued to move on." "We even went to a real fireworks show." "too." "{is this right?" "}" "{where is this one?" "}" "{and this one?" "}" "bowling karaoke and movies." "I knew that this still wouldn't satisfy Haruhi yet I didn't make an effort to do something about it." "the remaining days of summer drained away realistically." "the final day arrived..." "August 30th." "we've pretty much completed our summer plans." "I wonder if it's okay like this?" "But..." "I guess that's it." "do any of you want to do anything else?" "it's fine then." "so it's probably enough." "this isn't fine." "You aren't supposed to be satisfied yet." "let's call it a day then." "I'll let you have tomorrow off to prepare for school." "just take a good rest until then." "Let's meet in the clubroom the day after tomorrow." "Wait." "Haruhi!" "This isn't good." "If you go home... those ten thousand something repeats..." "Those two weeks will end up repeating again forever!" "But what should I do?" "What should I say?" "There should be hints in Haruhi's words." "But what are they?" "!" "What did she say up until now?" "It's no use." "I don't know." "Wait." "Wait!" "Haruhi." "Thank you very much!" "August 31st." "Homework: unfinished." "I don't care anymore." "happens." "If it really does repeat again doing this homework would be meaningless." "I'll just leave it to myself to figure it out then."
