"Something wasn't right." "that's how I felt." "there was a match between two teams that I had never heard of before" "I felt compelled to cheer for the losing team." "check timing please~}" "the phone." "You don't have to tell me." "I know." "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 you come on a bike." "Over!" "Huh?" "I have this feeling that I knew exactly what Haruhi was going to say. {Nazo note: changed to make narrative more present tense} that's not right." "it feels like the same thing happened not too long ago." "Is this what you call déjà vu?" "huh?" "600)}Endless Eight" "Kyon!" "You need to show more enthusiasm!" "yeah." "Sorry for making you guys wait." "I just got here too." "let's go!" "Where are we going?" "of course!" "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!" "we're going to the pool by bike." "You guys brought yours too?" "you and I are the only ones who brought bikes. {Nazo:" "Added "No"}" "Kyon?" "You can't lose to Koizumi-kun. {Nazo:" "Added "You got it"}" "take off!" "Charge!" "No ESP!" "you two!" "Kyon!" "We came here to have fun!" "Why're you acting so worn out already?" "Just whose fault do you think that is?" "Whose?" "!" "the smell of chlorine!" "This is what it's all about!" "Hurry up and come!" "The water is nice and warm!" "Can't she read the signs that say "No Diving"?" "It looks like fun." "Don't you think Suzumiya-san may have found a normal way of enjoying things?" "there shouldn't be anything happening that will endanger the world." "I wish that were true..." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "It's probably just my imagination." "Let us get ready to go in too." "It's bitter!" "One more cup!" "I feel like I've seen this scene somewhere before." "Nagato seems to be bored." "Kyon!" "That's right." "Then Haruhi said something like..." "These two are my brigade members." "They'll listen to everything I say." "So ask them anything!" "Come let's go have fun!" "We're going to play water dodgeball!" "sure..." "I guess déjà vu happens all the time." "but..." "What do you think?" "What's this?" "It's our plan for how to pass what little remains of summer vacation!" "When I suddenly realized that there were only two weeks of summer vacation left" "I was horrified!" "It just feels like there's still so much to do." "we don't have any time left." "From now on we're going all out!" "We're doing all this in less than 2 weeks... do you have anything you want to do?" "I would like to scoop up goldfish." "Okay." "Goldfish... scooping!" "Excuse me." "Thanks." "So we're all set for 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." "Understood." "that's it for today!" "Later!" "Me too." "Nagato." "but..." "How have you been feeling lately?" "Been doing fine?" "I'm fine." "That's great." "What was that...?" "Why did I call out to her exactly?" "huh?" "There really are a lot of people here." "That stage..." "That food stall... but I feel like I've been here recently." "Mikuru-chan!" "There's the goldfish scooping you wanted to do!" "Let's catch a ton!" "Shall we do the same?" "Perhaps a little competition?" "Forget it." "do you want to get something to eat?" "You're interested in these things?" "Which do you want?" "It's fine." "I want this." "Sure!" "800 yen." "but..." "Thirteen fish!" "We got a big catch today!" "I just took one." "check timing please~}" "I'll let you have it." "Thanks." "check timing please~}" "I bought it." "Oh... really." "Sign:" "Disruptive Fireworks Not Allowed it was summer vacation." "I wish I could forget the one thing that I haven't done yet." "have you finished your homework?" "What's with you?" "You can do all of that in three days." "Three days?" "!" "then knock yourself out with fun." "Why the hell is this girl so smart?" "The distribution of attributes is pretty random." "Everyone!" "Tomorrow we will be going bug catching!" "The one who catches the most bugs will..." "Let's see get to be the Brigade Leader for the day!" "thanks." "That sounds like fun." "Will any bug do?" "umm..." "Cicadas only!" "That's right." "It'll be the SOS Brigade Cicada Catching Competition!" "The next day was ridiculously nice." "we held the SOS Brigade Cicada Catching Competition." "That's not a cicada." "apparently they're found in Okinawa and are a national protected species.}" "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 cicada do for us anyway?" "Back to the mountains with you!" "I felt like I was Pandora." "W-Welcome!" "we were gathered for some random reason given a bunch of random frog costumes to wear and ended up handing out balloons in front of a supermarket as a part-time job." "Now I know what it must have felt like when Unit 0 got hit by that beam!" "Thanks for your work everyone!" "What's with the greeting anyway?" "Good job!" "The manager was really grateful!" "I don't need the old man's gratitude." "Where's our pay?" "This is it." "What?" "I've wanted this for a while now!" "You made us do all that work just for the sake of getting that?" "!" "Let's decorate the clubroom with this in commemoration!" "just wear it whenever you feel like it." "I give you permission!" "Yes!" "Eh..." "What?" "Nah." "Nothing." "Don't look over here." "Mikuru-chan!" "It's fine!" "Really!" "Your ice cream's going to fall." "That night." "My slumber was once again stolen by none other than a phone call." "The number you have dialed is currently un..." "Eh!" "?" "What the..." "Kyon-kun..." "Asahina-san?" "it's me." "Something bad has..." "If this goes on..." "I'll..." "Hello?" "Koizumi." "Why are you together with Asahina-san at this hour?" "A slight problem has occurred." "Do you think you could come right now?" "Asahina-san?" "Kyon-kun..." "I..." "I can't go back to the future!" "it's like this." "We are 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're 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." "Who the hell would believe that?" "would believe it." "I'll give you an explanation too..." "I use *classified information* to communicate with the future and have done *classified information*." "so it was strange." "That's what I thought..." "And then *classified information*." "so I tried a *classified information* but it was completely *classified information*." "What should I..." "Are we shut 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." "the entire human race's memories?" "gets reset." "Everything starts over from the beginning again." "huh?" "since people from the future are involved with this." "Nope." "This has nothing to do with Asahina-san." "Then what's the reason?" "Probably Suzumiya-san." "She might be unaware of it herself check timing please~}" "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 to do during the summer." "but..." "You look like you're having fun." "I've finally managed to solve the riddle of the déjà vu being left as imprints from past loops." "I've come to understand that the imprints are the remains of a memory reset." "Don't tell me everyone in the world feels it too." "It doesn't seem like it." "You and I are special cases." "Just by being people who are close to Suzumiya-san we've become the only people capable of feeling this." "What about Haruhi?" "Isn't she at least aware of this herself?" "It doesn't look like it at all." "Things would probably be a lot more complicated if she were." "I'm thinking that there must be someone who has retained all of his or her memories of the repeated time." "Is it true?" "Yes." "check timing please~}" "Yes." "how many times have we been "reset"?" "five hundred and twenty-first time." "521?" "521?" "Are you serious?" "Yes." "So we did the same things over and over again each and every one of those times?" "That is not necessarily the case." "521 times 391 of those times." "we went twice." "Obon minus the goldfish catching occurred 437 times." "048 times." "there have been six variations..." "Besides distributing balloons answered calls... that's enough." "521 times." "That's what Nagato said." "about 595 years." "living it over and over again while retaining her memories?" "just how does it feel to have lived through all this?" "I'm thinking about ridiculous things again..." "I wonder if they're there?" "What are?" "Martians." "I don't really want them to be there." "There doesn't seem to be anyone on the surface." "They might just be a timid people that live underground." "The day humans first set foot on Mars they'll definitely come out of their caves and welcome them as a surprise." "They'll say "Welcome to Mars!" or something." "I'd prefer a normal welcome." "this is boring." "Let's look for UFOs!" "The next day was stargazing." "The venue was Nagato's apartment." "Koizumi prepared the telescope." "anyway?" "I wonder." "this problem would be relatively straightforward to solve." "Why don't we try this out for starters?" "Suddenly hug Suzumiya-san from behind and whisper into her ear: "I love you"." "And who's doing that?" "I wonder if there's anyone more suitable than you." "But I refuse." "Shall I do it instead then?" "I'm kidding." "I'm not qualified for that role." "I would only put Suzumiya-san into an unnecessary state of confusion." "Nagato." "right?" "Yes." "Then why did you keep quiet about it?" "Because my mission is to observe." "SOS Brigade Test of Courage" " Put your doll on this checkpoint as evidence!" "I see." "The queue of vigorous summer vacation events continued." "We went to a real fireworks show." "too." "please leave the vicinity quickly." "Other activities included:" "the batting center going to the movies swimming in the sea bowling and karaoke." "We completed every single activity without exception." "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." "it was already August 30th." "we've pretty much completed our summer plans." "Don't scribble on that!" "I wonder if it's okay like this?" "But..." "I guess that's it." "do any of you want to do anything else?" "fine then." "so it's probably enough." "it's not." "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." "Haruhi!" "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." "Haruhi!" "I can't let Haruhi go home like this." "all those ten thousand something weeks will just end up being repeated again!" "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." "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 until now?" "!" "I don't know." "I can't remember... 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." "It's useless." "August 31st." "Homework: unfinished." "I don't care anymore." "doing this homework would be meaningless." "I'll just leave it to myself to figure it out then."
