"As one encounter led to a double romance three beating hearts played gentle melodies." "I, Kasuga Kyosuke, 15 years old am living the best years of my youth!" "That's the accelerator screamin', as the tires are squealing' takin' you along, a girl I hardly knew, in my speeding' coupe." "You slammed the door, evadin' the shadows that followed sayin' "Take me anywhere, Just go!"" "An encounter is like a highway junction..." "I've fallen in love with you - that I realized by the time the seaport was in sight..." ""Take me to Summer Side"" "Sayin' that you desire tenderness over a caress..." ""Night of Summer Side"" "...the way you avoided me, using' that naive look, wasn't so innocent." ""Take me to Summer Side"" "Sayin' that you desire a caress over loneliness..." ""Night of Summer Side"" "...the way you looked into my eyes as you turned back wasn't so innocent." "Madoka's Challenge!" "The Haunted Beach's Big Wave Legend." "It all happened... at a beach one summer." "551... 552... 553... 554..." "Oh!" "Yahoo!" "The sea!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" ""A Sunday Lodging Discount Coupon?"" ""Yeah." "A regular customer asked if I could use them, so..."" ""Yeah!" "Lucky!" ""Why, there's three of them!" "Let's go, Darling!"" ""But, I wonder, why this time of year?" ""I mean, why offer a Sunday discount?"" ""Now that you mention it..."" ""Oh, c'mon!" "Who cares?" ""What matters is, Darling, since they're offering a discount..." ""...maybe we'll have to share a room." ""That's not so unthinkable, is it?"" ""H..." "H..." "Hold on a sec, Hikaru!"" ""And, if that were so... then..."" ""No!" "You were here too?" "!"" ""What the..." "What is it, Hikaru?"" ""Nothing!"" ""Too late, Hikaru."" "Oh!" "I can 't wait any longer!" "H..." "Hold it, Hikaru..." "What do you mean you can't wait...?" "A..." "Ayukawa..." "Ta-da!" "U..." "Under the clothes, eh...?" "You got a fever or something?" "!" "Thanks again for the room." "Later, lady!" "See you!" "We'll be back." "Thanks again!" "Good-bye!" "This island happens to be a well-known surfing mecca." "However..." "The legend of "Big Monday?" "!"" "Gee..." "You folks don't know?" "!" "It's about a big wave." "A big wave!" "A big wave?" "!" "That's right." "Every year, in August on the sunny afternoon of the first Monday..." "In other words, tomorrow?" "That's right!" "From beyond the horizon comes one AMAZING..." "On a regular basis, a really amazingly huge wave started coming." "At first, all the surfers challenged the wave just for the fun of it." "But, you see not one ever managed to ride the wave, not even once." "Hmm..." "So we got these coupons 'cause everyone got scared and left." "That's the ticket." "Later!" "Oh!" "Later!" "Sheesh!" "What a womanizing bastard!" ""A beauty that sends a chill up my spine."" "That's what went through my head at that moment." "Though, I wondered if she hadn't heard of the Big Wave legend." "Lemme see here..." "Yes, looks like this one and this one could use a bit more trimming." "Still... it seems to me that there are a lot of mountain pictures in the set." "Could use some pictures of the sea..." "Huh...?" "Gosh, such a bother..." "Hey!" "Can't you see that you're interfering with my work?" "!" "Why, you..." "'Cause!" "'Cause!" "It's unfair that only Oniichan gets to go to the beach!" "I told you not to use the Power!" "We wanna go to the beach too!" "Take us there!" "It can't be helped!" "I've got work to do, you know." "Go to the pool!" "The pool!" "We're sick of the pool!" "Say, Papa... wouldn't it be nice to have some pictures of the sea as well as the mountain pictures..." "for your project, that is?" "Huh?" "Well, uh-huh... but the deadline is, y'know..." "NEVER MIND that!" "About the Power..." "Work this, work that!" "Don't you care about Oniichan being on the loose?" "!" "Huh?" "!" "Wh..." "What do you mean by that, Kurumi?" "I mean..." "It IS the sea, at the height of summer..." "Right?" "R..." "Right." "H..." "Hey, girls..." "Isn't Oniichan too young to become a papa?" "H..." "Hey, Kurumi!" "Don't say such foolish things!" "Look what you've made me do!" "What?" "!" "A ghost?" "!" "Yeah, supposedly she's a stunning beauty." "Her name is Koto, it's said." "So, this ghost named Koto is going to appear?" "On this beach?" "Yeah..." "You see... since she was so beautiful it's said that the Lord of this province ordered her to visit him in his castle." "But, you see..." "Koto had already promised to wed another man." "The two made plans to flee the island before the night Koto had to appear at the castle." "But, what happened was..." "Since then, on nights when you can see the fishermen's fires a beautiful, yet sad-looking, ghost is said to appear." "And, on her arm it's said there's a scar from when she threw herself into the sea." "I've never been good at listening to these kind of stories, ever since I was little." "S..." "Such an awful story!" "I've gotta make sure that I go to the bathroom before I go to bed, or else..." "Gosh!" "Oh, c'mon, Mister!" "Whatcha doing?" "!" "You've got one!" "You've got one!" "Oh!" "Wh..." "Why, this guy's a big one!" "Gee!" "You shouldn't have been telling crazy stories!" "Go for it!" "C'mon!" "C'mon, Mister!" "There!" "C'mon!" "C'mon!" "You weren't scared, Hikaru?" "Scared of what?" "What I meant was... of monsters and ghosts and whatnot..." "I got no problems with stuff like that, you see." "Though Madoka, on the other hand, in all honesty, does." "S..." "Stop that nonsense, Hikaru!" "Aha..." "Ayukawa does, eh...?" "Yeah!" "You did it!" "What the...?" "Gosh!" "It's so tiny!" "Wow!" "She's so cool!" "Say..." "Huh?" "That woman..." "Don't you think that she looks kind of sad?" ""...city, 21st Ward " " Koto"" "What? "Koto?" "!"" "Y..." "Yeah..." "You know, the only the only remaining surfer." "In the lodge's guestbook... there was the name "Koto!"" "If we may!" "Oh!" "Didn't know you were here." "We were watching you surf this afternoon!" "Gee...?" "!" "Yippee!" "Hey, you!" ""On her arm, it's said there's a scar from when she threw herself into the sea."" "She can't be the..." "Where are you off to?" "Well..." "It seems that I left my T-Shirt at the beach." "It's okay, Kasuga." "I should be able to find it easily." "Never mind me, I tell ya." "Besides, the word is that something spooky is going to happen." "That was just a story!" "At places like this, people tell those sorts of stories." "I wonder..." "I'm not sure if it means anything, but y'know, the woman who's staying in the same lodge as us?" "It turns out that..." "Wh..." "What?" "!" "What?" "!" "...her name is "Koto!"" "What?" "!" "Why... it's only a bat." "Her skin seemed so sweet, enough to make me faint and it felt so gentle beyond anything..." "Her skin..." "I felt as though, if I were to touch it, it'd be a sin..." "I found it." "Huh?" "Ayukawa!" "The ghost!" "Oh, no!" "I've got to save Ayukawa!" "Don't you dare touch her!" "Ooo, spooky!" "Don't worry." "I haven't laid a finger on her yet." "I didn't mean to startle you, but..." "I hurt my foot, as you can see." "Isn't it awful?" "A broken bottle." "The beach... it's getting polluted." "So, that's why you thought I was a ghost?" "I'm very sorry." "Oh, no." "It's all right." "A ghost, huh?" "Even if he were a ghost, I'd like to see him once again." "You see, my boyfriend died at this beach three years ago." "Th..." "Then... did he... from the legendary Big Monday?" "!" "He was always chasing his dreams." "He said that he'd conquer that wave, no matter what." "We were young..." "He was that kind of person, and I loved him." "Then... are you going to... challenge the Big Monday tomorrow?" "That is... in place of your boyfriend?" "I was trying to decide what to do." "If he couldn't ride that wave, then there's no way I'd be able to." "But, you see... if I don't, then I I feel like I won't ever be able to get over him and get married." ""...get married?"" "But, with this foot..." "looks like riding the wave will be impossible." "Are you all right?" "Thank you." "Is she your girlfriend?" "What?" "She's pretty." "You guys have a lot to look forward to." "Be sure to protect her with all your strength!" "Good night." "Ayukawa..." "At times like these..." "I've got to protect her with all my might without anybody telling me to." "At any rate... the weight that my body was bearing felt so comfortable, beyond what words can describe." "Good morning." "K..." "Kasuga!" "Er... that woman from before..." "Oh... her..." "So, she was..." "a ghost?" "Yeah." "Oh, c'mon!" "You're lying, aren't you!" "Why you...!" "Gee..." "Put me down!" "I can walk by myself, thank you!" "What's this?" "!" "Would you put me down!" "C'mon, Kasuga!" "Will you put me down please!" "Hey, would you please!" "C'mon!" "Put me down!" "And so... all the ghost hoopla calmed down, but..." "What?" "!" "Ayukawa is...?" "!" "She says she's going to challenge the Big Monday in that woman's place!" "No way!" "It's crazy, not even Madoka could..." "Madoka!" "This wasn't the same Ayukawa that was scared of a ghost..." "She was like a completely different person." ""Between... women...?"" ""Yeah..." "I sort of understand it..." "What she feels, that is."" ""Well, I don't doubt that, but..."" ""It'll be fine."" ""I think that her boyfriend will... protect me..." ""...in place of her."" ""Madoka..."" "Here it comes!" "The legendary Big Monday..." "Is this... what you want?" "And... are you over him now?" "The boyfriend who passed away?" "No!" "The board's nose!" "Ayukawa!" "Eyaah!" "Madoka!" "O..." "Oh, no!" "Madoka!" "Hikaru, wait!" "It's dangerous!" "But..." "But..." "Madoka is..." "Madoka!" "What?" "You mean, all of a sudden?" "Yeah." "Just when I thought I was finished..." "I started to float all of a sudden and before I knew it, I was back on the board again." "Gosh..." "Your boyfriend..." "saved me, I bet." "At any rate, I was able to protect someone very important to me." "Anyways... at that moment, it felt as if I was far more powerful than even the sun." "I dream of casting a spell that captures your heart and makes you crazy about me." "Love is deja vu; an unfamiliar memory." "I feel our lips pressing together." "Love me... tenderly..." "Golden Summer Mirage..." "Someday..." "Someday..." "Please let my body feel your lips on that morning I'll be called your lover." "Someday, someday..." "I'll be waiting for that moment." "No matter which way we look, we're surrounded by the sea." "Ayukawa and I got shipwrecked, and now we're on a deserted island." "We'd like to be rescued ASAP though... being able to spend the starry nights together is well... er... indescribable..." "Next time: "An Experience for Two!" "An lsland of Forbidden Love."" "I... feel my heart pounding restlessly."
