[bunniefuu]

Saeki.

Huh?

Sorry, I mistook you for someone else.

Still no good, huh...

"My Summer Of You"
[Episode 6]

The reason I chose "Sea of Light"
for our pilgrimage

is because at the end of the journey,

the protagonist realizes he was
loved by his parents all along.

It reminded me of how I used to be.

Hey, when can we go to the beach
from the final scene?

That's the place I want to visit the most.

Another hour, huh...

Attention, passengers.

Currently, between
Miyo and Fukioka stations,

a fallen tree has blocked the tracks.

Train service has been suspended.

Our staff is on-site
assessing the situation,

but it's unclear when service will resume.

We sincerely apologize for the delay.

Please consult station
staff for more details.

Hey, kid.

Are you a fan of "Sea
of Light" by any chance?

Yeah.

I wanted to see the cave from the movie.

The cave, huh?

You can only go in at low tide.

Huh...

It's probably a no-go today.

Did you come all this way without checking?

I looked into it a little bit.

I see.

The wind is pretty strong today.

It's dangerous.
You better be careful.

Got it.

Looks like this is a dead end.

- Excuse me.
- Yes?

I want to go to Moriya Beach.
Is there a bus or something?

Moriya Beach?

There's no direct bus. You could
probably get there by transferring,

but it's a huge detour.

I see...

I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks.

Guchi...

[Did you find Saeki?]

[I told our homeroom teacher you
went home sick with a stomachache.]

Thanks.

But the trains are stopped because of a
fallen tree. I'm stuck at Tatebuki Station.

- Nailed it!
- Tatebuki Station?

He went all the way out there?

It's that thing. They said they were
going on a movie pilgrimage or whatever.

Oh, that.

What was it called again?

White Swan something.

Never mind that. Call Toda right now.

Okay.

Guchi?

Wataru, are you okay?

There are no buses or taxis.
I'm screwed.

How far is it to the beach?

About ten kilometers.

It'd take around two hours on foot.

He told his mom he'd be home by evening.
You're gonna miss him.

Huh? Then shouldn't
you just wait at his house?

- Oh, right.
- Yeah.

Idiots.

It defeats the purpose if they
don't meet at the sacred spot!

Asada?

Stop hesitating.
Just run there!

Hey, Wataru is in the go-home club.

Exactly.

Wait...

Start with some stretching.

Stretch your Achilles tendon properly.

Remember to stay hydrated.

Yeah.

No need to rush. Just jog at a steady pace.

It's fine to walk up the hills.

Yeah.
Okay.

Relax your shoulders and
swing your arms lightly.

Got it.

Also, this message will
self-destruct in five seconds...

Okay.

He took off.

He sure did.

I'm just showing respect
to those two movie nerds.

I know.

You can do it, Wataru.

Relax your shoulders.
Swing your arms lightly.

Wataru?

Wataru? Why...

Saeki...

Clench your teeth.

Are you kidding me?

What the hell?

What was up with that letter?

Of course I'm pissed!

You've been like this
from the very beginning.

Deciding things on your own,
ending things on your own.

Do my feelings mean
absolutely nothing to you?

Don't just turn people into
memories without asking!

Who cares about a guy like you?

Go wherever the hell you want.

I never want to see your face again.

I thought...

I'd never see you again...

I'm sorry.

I thought this was the only way
I could give up on you.

But over this summer,

as we got closer and closer,

giving up became impossible.

Instead, all I could think about was
how much I still like you.

I'm truly hopeless.

You really are hopeless.

None of that matters right now.

What are your true feelings?

Saying I didn't expect anything
was a lie.

The truth is, I never wanted
to turn you into a memory.

I want to hear your voice.

I want to see you.

I want to touch you.

I want to stay by your side.

I want you to look at me.

Finally, some honesty.

Seriously.

You haven't changed where it counts.

Besides,

making me fall for you
and then just disappearing...

I won't allow it.

Are you joking?

Who would joke about something like this?

But how is that possible...
Of course it is.

Have I ever lied to you?

No...

I never expected to finish our pilgrimage
in such an unexpected way.

No kidding.

Someday,

you have to come with
me to my sacred spot, too.

Yeah.

Ouch.

That hurts.

Ah, that looks painful.

It really hurts.

Sorry about that.

I didn't know how to hold back.

I think I punched you too hard.

Yeah.

It hurts like crazy.

By the way,
I'm still mad at you.

Do you have any idea
how many times I called?

Or how many times I had
to beg Teacher Yamada?

Disappearing out of nowhere.
Are you a spy or something?

I'm really sorry.

But,

how did you know I was here?

I read your letter.

I figured this place must be
really important to you.

So,

even if I didn't find you here, I was
determined to track you down eventually.

And beat the crap out of you.

Wataru.

Give me your hands.

Sorry for making you do
something you're not used to.

I like you, Wataru.

Why are you saying it
again all of a sudden?

Earlier, I said I wanted to give up on you.

But as long as I'm with you,
I know I'll keep liking you.

Whether it's now or in the future.

I could never bear to see
you with someone else.

But if things stayed the way they were,

I'd only be a burden to you.

That's why I felt I had to leave, go
somewhere far away where I couldn't see you.

But I...

failed to see how you truly felt.

Thank you for coming to see me.

Yeah...

We should probably head back.

Wait.

This is far enough.

Okay.

I actually want to stay
with you a little longer.

But I really have to go back.

Makes sense.

By the way, Wataru, is it
okay that you skipped class?

Don't bring that up.

Anyway,

I already used a stomachache as an excuse.
Don't worry about it.

Take care of yourself, then.

Yeah.

When can we see each other next?

I'll be back during summer vacation.

Okay.

I'll get a part-time job
and save up to visit you, too.

Just don't run off to
Niagara Falls before then.

Yeah.

I won't.

Saeki?

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

It's just...

Wataru.

Just let me hold you like this.

I'm so glad I met you, Wataru.

I'm glad I met you too, Saeki.

If we were alone,
I'd hold you even tighter.

I told you to stop saying
stuff like that out loud.

But when I look at you,
I just can't help it.

Why?

Because I like you.

Don't say things like that so casually.

It drives me crazy.

See you later, then.

Yeah.

See you.

Yeah.

And so, our pilgrimage came to an end.

But...

[3 Years Later, Spring]

Welcome back, Saeki.

I'm back, Wataru.

Even after the credits roll,

the story continues.

[Next Episode Preview]
- No, no. - What's wrong, Wataru?

I want to hurry up and continue
our story from that summer.

I finally get to see you.

Director Zaizen's "Blueprint".

Wanna go see it together?

I never want to see you
make that face again.

I happened to get two tickets.

Wanna go see it together?
