02x06 - Are You Really This Stupid?

[bunniefuu]

This is a pretty bad storm.

Uh-huh. It's only
getting worse, too.

And you know, on days
like today... they appear.

Huh? "They" who?

During the summer, they're
very common around this area.

Very.

Um. Wait. What?
You're scaring me.

Wh-Who's common?

Hallo , everyone!

You ready? 'Cause tomorrow,
we're getting outta here!

That... was terrifying.

So, where are we going?

We all agreed we were gonna

hang out together this
summer, remember?

So... I reserved one of the
Soma vacation houses for us.

Our ultimate summer getaway
officially begins tomorrow!

What? Hold on!
A getaway? Vacation house?

Well, at least it's not a
haunted house this time.

A fancy getaway, huh?
With attendants, perhaps?

I don't want to know
what he's picturing.

Tohru, you're taking some
time off work, right?

You have to come.
This is our big chance!

Oh, um, do you think I'd
be welcome there, though?

Ja! I invited...

...Haru, Harry, Aya, Ritchan,
Kisa, Hiro, and Kagura, too,

so the more the merrier!

Could we uninvite someone?
Specifically, my brother.

I don't wanna spend my
vacation with that idiotic girl.

And this stupid rabbit emoji;

you would never know that
he's in high school.

Hiro- chan , let's go, okay?

All right.

So? You're going to come
with us, aren't you?

Um, maybe.

If you want to go,
then you should go, Tohru.

There's no need to be shy.

Okay! I would love to go!

Stag beetles and
Hercules beetles, too!

We've gotta catch 'em all.

Okay!

And we'll set off fireworks!

Yes!

Well, it does sound like
fun. Perhaps I'll go.

Oh, yeah! You should
totally come.

You don't have work to do?

Nah.

Please stop smiling.

It's both unconvincing and
unpleasant to look at.

My obligations aside, though,

weren't you all assigned
homework over the break?

Don't worry about me.
I'm mostly finished.

Same here! I got an early start.

- -Uh.
- -Hm?

I'm really sorry about this.

I always seem to screw up
and make more work for you.

Don't be so hard on
yourself. It's fine.

Just keep on trying!
You can do it!

You're right!

This summer getaway should
be plenty to motivate me.

Do it for the beetles!

And for the fireworks!

Or we could just delay the thing

instead of going tomorrow.

Hey. Hold on. Where's Kyo?

He's been up in his room
for a while, resting.

Then I'm off! He needs to
know about our big plans.

Good luck, Tohru!

Thank you!

All right, time to really focus
and get this homework done.

Kyo!

Hey, what's up? You sick?

Just tired, that's all.

I definitely don't have enough
energy to talk to you.

Okay, Rabbit?

I get it.

Hey! Get packed!

We're going to the
beach house tomorrow!

You don't get it at all!

Wait, the beach? Tomorrow?

Mh-hm!

That's for the short notice.

Kyo, you big meanie!

I know you're tired, but you'll
still come, won't you?

You won't miss out on our
big summer trip, right?

Stop bugging me, will ya?

Tohru will be really sad
if you don't come.

We've got big plans.
Swimming and fireworks.

I said to stop bugging me.

That means I want ya to leave,
not that I won't go.

Now scram. I'm tired
and I need to pack.

You're nicer
than you used to be.

Huh?

Oh, nothing!

It'll be fun.
Know the best part?

I'm going to catch
some stag beetles!

You know, you're a
really weird kid.

Oh, I get it.

I think I finally
understand what to do.

Okay, good.

You should be able
to finish now.

Thank you so much.

That hat.

Huh?

I was...
just wondering, is it yours?

Uh. You mean the one up there?

Yeah.

I mean, it kinda looks out of
place. Not really your style.

No, it isn't mine.

I got lost once back when
I was a little girl,

and this hat belonged to
the boy who helped me.

I've held onto it
ever since that day.

I don't remember who he was
or where he came from.

I don't even remember
what he looked like.

Why did you keep it?

It's so old. b*at up.

Because it's a precious memory.

I was frightened and
alone, then he came.

He saved me.

That day...

Even if you've forgotten...

Miss Hon--

Good news! Kyo's coming, too!

I'm so glad!

Stag beetles!

Fireworks!

Vacation house, here we come!

Because it's a precious memory.

Bye-bye, storm!

So you're not coming?

You seemed pretty excited
about it yesterday.

Well, I have some
work to do after all,

but I'll be along
once it's done.

Now, Yuki, Kyo, listen here.

What is it?

I won't be there to supervise,

so you two have to protect
our sweet Tohru.

That'll be a lot easier
to do without you around!

Yeah. It will.

Okay. We'll see
you later, then.

Bye. You kids be careful.

You can come out now.

It's been a while, Rin.

Well, come in.

Uh.

Now, now. Your shoes.

You should take
them off, you know.

You know why I'm here.

There's no point
pretending that you don't.

You know what I'm thinking.

What I want.

Save us both time and admit it.

Do I? I wonder.

I'm not sure I can meet
your expectations.

You can.

Gure, please. Tell me.

And why would I do that?

Do I seem like such
a simple man?

You don't.

Heh.

Then are you really this stupid?

Or is playing the fool
all part of your grand plan?

Ah, Rin. What shall
I do with you?

Summer!

The sky, the ocean.
Everything's so blue!

Tohru!

- -The water's calling your name!
- -Let's go swim, 'kay?

Okay!

They're excited.

You not gonna get in, Kyo?

What's it look like?

Hey, Tohru.

Isn't this shell pretty?

The airhead's already
monopolizing Kisa's time!

Strange. I was
so sure Sensei would come.

Huh? What made you so sure?

Honda.

She's out here in
a tight swimsuit.

That's basically
like catnip to him.

Don't talk about her like that!

I'm just talking
like a normal teenager.

What do you know about being
a normal teenager, ya freak?

Hiro!

Don't you want to
come swim, too?

Ha! Unlike some other people,
I have self-control.

Silly child.

Grouchy.

Grouchy-grouch!
Grouchy-grouch!

You shut up!

It was a long trip here
and I'm feeling fatigued.

Oh, wow, look!

Tohru's amazing!
She's such a good swimmer!

Whoa.

Impressive. She's really fast.

Can't say I ever
really thought of her

as the athletic type.

She didn't
breathe that whole time?

Idiot.

Learn how to breathe
while you swim

or you're gonna pass out and
drown one of these days.

But, Kyo, you were
watching, weren't you?

I told you I could totally swim!

Looked more like you
were trying not to die.

Oh, hey, when did
Kyo get over there?

I'll do it again!
Faster this time!

What did I just tell you?
Stick to sandcastles!

Hey, Momiji!

Come teach her how to breathe
while she's swimming!

Huh?

Jeez, what's up with
the giggle-fest?

This is just so much fun!

Oops, sorry, Kyo. I know how
you feel about the water.

Go on.

She's having a good time.

Look at Kyo.

He went into the
water, after all.

You're deluding yourself.

Listen, this world is dark.

You'll spend your life
along a pitch-black path

with no hope and
no chance of salvation.

Don't ever allow yourself
to think otherwise.

You will never be saved.

It looks like something
has got your head spinning.

Is it the heat or
your own emotions?

Yuki!

Don't you guys want
to come join us?

Uh, sure.

Bring Hiro, too!

Shut up, you puny Rabbit!

I'm fine.

Lost in thought, I guess.
It's a bad habit.

I have to snap
out of it, though,

or Miss Honda will start
to worry about me.

That's the spirit.

I'm trying.

What? You back already?

I wasn't planning to swim
in the first place.

We're gonna race. Let's go.

I don't wanna race!
Stop! You tryin' to k*ll me?

The water's pretty cold, huh?

You'll get used to it!

I like your swimsuit.
It looks cute.

Oh. Thanks.

I mean, that's really
nice of you to say.

I-I can't take
the credit, though,

since you guys
picked it out for me.

Yuki.

We're racing. You want in?

I bet that oughta
get Kyo going.

No, it won't! Like I give
a crap what he does.

Sure, I'm in.

All right, bring it on!

Rat! You're goin' down!

Nicely played.

I feel used.

You guys, we still
have a lot to do,

so try not to wear
yourselves out.

Just swim for fun like normal
people. Dumme kinder.

That was amazing, Yuki!

A first place finish!

Hm? Where's the Cat?

He didn't like
losing, so he headed back early.

To sulk in private.

You and I get to be roommates
while we're here, Kisa.

Yeah!

What's that?

Looks like the same
pocketbook I took before.

Hey, idiot.

What's up?

Here. It's yours, right?

Oh, no! Mom, what are you
doing over there?

Be more careful. You dropped it.

Thank you so much
for picking it up!

That was a close one.

So what's the deal?

Why do you only carry
a photo of your mom?

Huh?

Shouldn't you have
one of your dad, too?

Seriously, it's always her.

Mom this, and Mom that.

But you had another parent.

She's all you ever
talk about, though.

Sounds like you've got
some real issues.

I mean, is that all
there is to you?

No, it's not.

Huh?

I just... Well...

Huh?

Hey! You coming?

Oh. Yeah! Just give us
a second to catch up.

What's her problem?

Hiro- chan .

Huh?

You said some pretty
mean things to her.

What? Just now?

It wasn't a big
deal or anything.

Didn't seem like it
bothered her at all.

You think you could tell?

If it had bothered her?

How could you?
You don't know her.

What's in her heart.

What feelings she keeps
buried deep inside.

It might not seem like
a big deal to you,

but you don't know for sure.

And you shouldn't
act like you do.

Yeah, you're right,
I don't know.

And I don't really care, either.

Hiro- chan , why did
you even agree to come?

Are you only here to make
things harder on Tohru?

Why? Why do I always do this?

I came for you.

Because I thought it
would make you happy.

It's nothing.

This is my fault.

I still take things out
on other people.

Like a little kid.

I should know better by now.

There are feelings I keep
hidden deep inside.

So, of course...

Of course... she must
have them, too.

Things buried in her
heart that no one else can feel.

Are Kisa and Hiro fighting?

They didn't say very
much during dinner.

Hmm...

Well, no good can come
from putting yourself

in the middle of
a lovers' quarrel.

Best to stay out of it.

Are you being considerate
or just indifferent?

Uh.

Huh? Kisa? You okay?
I didn't know you were there.

I'm really sorry! Uh...

It's okay. So am I.

Huh?

Earlier, I was upset,

and I guess some of the stuff
I said was pretty mean, too.

So... I'm sorry.

Me, too. I'm sorry,
too. About before.

Sorry.

Why do you only carry
a photo of your mom?

Because...

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

We'll always be... together.

Hiro!

Hey, look, we found
stag beetles!

They're really cool looking!

I know! Aren't they?

She seems even more cheerful

than usual this morning.

Here, check it out!

Up close. Catching these was
one of our goals for the trip.

Uhh...

Congratulations?

Heh. Thank you!

What's that on the tree?

Some sugar water. It's a
trick that Kyo taught me.

Hmm.

Uh. Hey, Kyo! Guten Morgen!

You're out here pretty early.

I'm not the only one.
So how is the bug hunt going?

We haven't found
any Hercules beetles.

I'm not surprised.

But look, a stag beetle!

Dummy. That's
a rhinoceros beetle.

What? Are you sure?

Uh, Momiji, can I see the
encyclopedia real quick?

Sure!

Ow. Jeez. What was that for?

What's up? Did you do something
to upset Tohru again?

What do you mean?

Do you have any
evidence to suggest

I might be responsible
for such a thing?

I don't know what
happened exactly,

but she just seems
sorta... down.

Hey, you were right.
This is a rhinoceros beetle.

Told ya.

I'm heading out to join them

at the vacation house tomorrow,

so I won't be able to
visit for a while.

Take care of yourself.

We don't want you getting
sick, now do we?

You can save your warnings,
Shigure. I'm already sick.

This is stupid. I hate summer.

The heat makes every day more
miserable than the one before.

My head hurts.

Hatori. Get Hatori.

Hatori's a grown man
with his own life to live.

Yet he's here so much.
The poor thing.

Don't pity him.

His life isn't his.

It belongs to me.
He lives for my sake.

He should be happy
to do as I ask.

If you say so.

Hm.

This ridiculous trip.

Those idiots running off with
their ugly little sidekick.

The fools. They're
starting to get cocky.

I think... maybe it's time for
me to teach them all a lesson.

What? Why are you smiling?

You have a problem with that?

A problem? No, certainly not.

Quite the contrary,
as a matter of fact.

I was just going to suggest that
you come to the house, as well.

If you really want to
teach them a lesson.

It came out of nowhere.
Heat must've gotten to him.

Please! Let me help!
What can I do?

Hey, it's only a low-grade
fever. Calm down.

So... um... You mind
if I take a bath?

No. You don't need
my permission to bathe.

Why would I care?

I thought you might get lonely.

Go already!

Well, Honda,
I leave him to you.

Sure. I can take care of him.

Hm?

I'm not ready yet, but...

One day, I'll have
something to tell you.

Something real.

You're deluding yourself.

That's not true. It's not.

It isn't all darkness.

There's light now, too.

And with light, there's hope.

Hope for something better.

When the time comes,
I'd be happy if you'd listen.

I need to open...

...the lid.

Open... the lid?

"Let the watermelon
splitting contest begin!"
