Let's see, this is squared, so that makes X...
Hello? What is it?
You picked up! Mio, where are ya?
At home, why?
I'm at the station right now. Wanna go out and do something?
Well, summer classes start tomorrow. I have a lot of prep work to do.
C'mon, you can do that tonight!
If I go out, I'll be tired tonight and I won't get anything done.
I'll pass today.
Which is more important, me or getting a job?!
Whatever. See you.
For crying out loud, does Ritsu ever do any studying?
Ritsu again?
Hello?
Little missy, what kind of panties is you wearin'?
Geez! Leave me alone!
Okay, I did the obvious gag.
So, what now?
And Yui said that she was studying with Nodoka...
Mugi?
I wonder where she's going?
I'll sneak up on her!
Huh?
I saw you back there, so I thought I would sneak up on you.
You stole my idea...
It's certainly odd to run into each other here.
It sure is. Where were you heading?
Summer classes start tomorrow, right?
I thought I should get my shopping out of the way before then.
Oh, right.
I was going to ask if you wanted to hang out if you had some free time.
What's up?
"Just a moment, please!"
What's with the English?!
Hello, this is Tsumugi.
Would you mind if I postponed today's shopping for another time?
Of course, thank you!
I have time! I have all the time in the world!
Do tell.

#14: Summer Training!
Previously, on K-ON!
Mugi-chan's eyebrows are takuan pickles!
They're tasty!
Slurp! Mugi-chan, I need another pickle!
Don't hog 'em all to yourself, Yui! I want one, too!
So tasty!
Mugi-chan?
When both of my eyebrows are plucked at the same time, I revert to gel form.
Gel?
They have to be replaced with other pickles right away, or...
Mugi-chan!
Yui! Find some pickles!
But where am I supposed to find takuan pickles HERE?
We'll just have to slap something on there and hope for the best!
I'm all better!
Protractors work just as well?
Let's try something triangular...
Where did this blanket come from?
Because you'd catch cold if you fell asleep in light clothing like that.
I was studying! You should have woken me up!
I'm sorry for worrying about you.
So, where should we go?
I'll leave it up to you!
Wow, you're downright beaming for some reason.
Think about it, this is our first time hanging out, just the two of us.
Now that you mention it... I guess it is.
Then I think I'll take you to places that you normally would never set foot in!
Such as a game center, for instance!
A game center...
What? You're not interested?
No, it's not that! I want to go! Very badly!
When we all went to one together that other time, it was incredibly fun!
I know, right?
Right! Then it's settled!
A game center!
Wow, you get impressed over the littlest things, don't ya?
W-What's this glittering contraption over here that looks like a chandelier?!
A coin game, I guess.
Oh!
And this thing with steering wheels?
A racing game.
What in the world is a fishing pole doing indoors?!
It's a fishing game.
W-Which should we play?
Everything looks like so much fun that I don't know which one I should try!
Take a deep breath.
Well, let's see. For starters, I'd go with...
Let's try this one!
I'll give it a try!
Champion!
I have avenged you, Ritchan!
Um, thank you?
I'd love to have this stuffed animal!
Okay! First, you press this button here...
And click!
Almost!
Let me take over for a minute.
Ritchan, you were amazing!
What else did you expect?
Whew, I'm glad I managed to snag that...
Right! We've got our pictures! Now to add some effects!
We hit this, and then...
What's this?
And this!
You can even do this!
Oscar!
I use this button?
Yeah! I use this button?
This effect looks surprisingly good on you, Ritchan.
What am I, an old geezer? Then let's try this one on you, Mugi!
I'm a pig!
Yours looks really good, too!
Does it?
Let's trade bites!
That's all right, yours looks more expensive than mine.
Don't worry about it, I just wanna try yours!
Really? Well, if you insist.
Nodoka-chan...
That was fun!
Seeing you this happy makes the trip worthwhile.
I might be dead of a happiness overdose tomorrow!
Let's not, shall we?
We burned through a lot of money, though...
Which means our next stop will have to be something cheap.
Wanna go to a dagashi candy store?
A dagashi store...
Ritchan... Gie's a bosie!
Where the heck are you from?
This is a dagashi store?
Yep. Most items in here are twenty or thirty cents, so you can buy
all you want without worrying about your wallet.
Really? Even this?
Even that.
Even these things on skewers?
Yep.
Even these fried things?
Yep.
Even this huge senbei cracker?
Yeah.
That's amazing! Is this the result of the price crashes everyone talks about?!
No, I don't think so.
There are various tricks when it comes to eating dagashi.
For instance, to open a fugashi, you do this!
Amazing!
And when you drink one of these, you start from this end!
Why that end?
You can only take little sips from this end, so it lasts longer.
Oh, I see! That's amazing!
And what is this?
What do I do?
With these, you twirl 'em and moosh 'em together... And eat!
See?
The strawberry on your cake?
She stole it, just like that!
I don't get what the problem is.
It's not right, right? Who in their right mind does that?!
How could you not know?!
Oh, come on. It wasn't all that strange a thing to do.
It was the easiest part to take, and I'd feel bad taking part of the cake itself.
No, the strawberry is the cake's crown!
Its heart! Its very soul!
I'm sure it's only that way to you.
No, it's that way to the whole world!
Is that my sister?
All right, fine. Here, you can have the chestnut off of mine.
That will make us even, right?
No!
Azu-nyan, this is weird, right? Nodoka-chan's wrong, right?
That was so much fun!
I'm glad to hear it.
You know so many places that I've never dreamed of! It's amazing!
More! Praise me more!
I got this for $5, and I ate my fill on just $1.
You're a master of having fun without spending money!
Indeed I am! But even so, the money we spent today is a fortune to the common masses.
It is?
Pretty much.
To tell you the truth, there was this time last month when...
Sorry, Mio. Could you spot me some money to cover this?
What, again? How much are you short?
You'll lend me some money?!
In that case, can I also buy these drum sticks, this new score
and this new CD that came out yesterday?!
Can I? Can I? Can I?
And then that mean old Mio smacked me upside the head, right out of the blue.
Smacked you?
What's the matter?
Actually, there's a favor that I'd like to ask you.
If it's money you need, sorry, I'm broke.
I know that!
No! I didn't mean it like that!
It's something that I've been yearning for for ages now.
Been yearning for?
The thing is...
I'd like you to whack me on the head!
Come again?
Sis! It's almost time!
Summer classes start today, remember? You need to get up!
Oh, I'm sorry. You were already up.
Yup. It had been a while, so I accidentally set my alarm an hour early.
I wore my uniform out of force of habit. What am I gonna do?
You're in uniform!
W-We weren't supposed to wear our uniforms to summer classes, were we?!
Well, doesn't it make sense to wear a school uniform to a place like this?
What, really?
Morning! Wow, you're early for once!
Ritchan, what're we gonna do? It sounds like we were supposed to wear uniforms here!
Of course not!
Look around.
Wow, you're right. Look around.
Actually, I'd say it's the people in uniform who are in the distinct minority.
Oh, gosh! What if Mio is the only one!?
"Oh, gosh! That one girl over there is the only one wearing a uniform!"
Stop it!
It said we can wear whatever we want, so it's no big deal!
Good morning!
It took ages to get changed this morning.
G-Good morning...
Wow, Mugi-chan looks like she's going to the beach!
Wait, does this mean that everybody's going to the beach after class?!
That isn't on the schedule.
Let's hurry in, shall we?
Mugi!
Y-Yes?
You left the tag on your dress.
And with this outfit, wouldn't going without socks look better?
Wait, don't tell me she...
I'd like you to whack me on the head!
Um, it hurts.
I want you to whack me anyway!
If you're that dead set on it, I guess I can do it.
You can?
Just a little tap, right?
Whenever you're ready!
You're not being watched by a security detail, are you?
There aren't any! Don't worry!
Then here goes!
Ready!
Um...
Maybe I'll go with a chop?
As hard as you like!
Whack.
I can't do it! Forget it!
It doesn't work if someone ASKS you to. It has to be spontaneous!
Spontaneous?
Yeah! I can't whack you if you haven't done anything wrong.
But if you did something incredibly ditzy, I'd straighten you out right then and there!
Something incredibly ditzy?
Right? Nodoka-chan was crazy to do that, right?
When you offer someone a bite of your cake, they don't eat the strawberry on top!
Mugi couldn't possibly be trying to... When you offer someone a bite of your cake, they don't eat the strawberry on top!
Are you sure she wasn't just messing with you?
I remember one time when Ritsu ate the strawberry on my cake, and I whacked her
so I can understand how you feel, but still...
Nodoka-chan ate it, just as casual as can be!
No doubt about it. Nodoka-chan ate it, just as casual as can be!
I guess we should look through their study guides first.
I wonder if there are any books that say that eating makes you smarter?
Mugi, over here. I wonder if there are any books that say that eating makes you smarter?
Mugi, over here. As if.
I knew it, you're trying to play the funny man.
Did I do it wrong?
I thought this would be the outfit least appropriate for summer classes.
It's just too vague and uncommitted.
For a gag like that to work, it has to be totally in your face.
Sure is hot today, huh, Mio-chan?
Of course it is!
Ah, I see!
Don't take notes! Ah, I see!
You're that eager to get whacked on the head?
You and Mio-chan are always expressing your affection in an intimate, physical way.
Give it a rest, Ritsu! You and Mio-chan are always expressing your affection in an intimate, physical way.
I'm sorry! You and Mio-chan are always expressing your affection in an intimate, physical way.
So do Yui-chan and Azusa-chan.
Azu-nyan! So do Yui-chan and Azusa-chan.
I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't have that kind of intimate bond!
Even though I love being physically intimate!
Aren't you obsessing a little there?
All right. If you're that determined, I'll help you out.
You mean it?!
The key to being the funny man is a complete lack of shame!
Making the Grade The key to being the funny man is a complete lack of shame!
Making the Grade Once you start a gag, you commit and see it through to the bitter end!
Making the Grade Understood?!
Making the Grade Yes, ma'am! Understood?!
I have to say, I'm surprised that you and Ritsu decided to go to college.
Well, Sawa-chan said that it was too late to start job hunting.
It's a little late to start studying for entrance exams, too.
Oo, headbands!
Ready?
Mio!
Next year, I will pass my exams for sure!
Quit goofing around!
So will I, Mio-chan!
Mugi?
Wow, those look great on you.
Why would you put on normal glasses?!
It's so blazingly bright that I can't read it...
Yui, look really closely.
If you squint at it, words pop out of this long passage here.
I saw it! "A"! It was the letter " a"!
You did not!
I can see it, too. Judging from the context, the answer is "a".
Way to go, Mugi!
Why would you answer it properly like that?
I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Your ID card is ready, Miss.
I wish I'd brought a more flattering picture with me...
Mine turned out pretty good!
I'm rather shy and reserved, you see.
This isn't the place to be goofing around!
You're on, Mugi!
Here is mine!
Great! That'll work for sure!
Oh, I get it. You two just put stickers on top.
Your eyes are half-closed.
What were you thinking?! The normal one had more comedic impact!
It did?
Look! Look!
Your sister?!
I submitted her picture by mistake.
Wow, you just can't beat fresh ditzed.
I tried! I tried so hard!
I know that you're trying your hardest, but it's gonna be really hard to get you whacked.
And it'll take a lot to get Mio to whack YOU, of all people.
Maybe it's impossible...
Oh, there they are!
You're right! Thanks for waiting!
Sure.
Let's go home! Sure.
You remember that tomorrow is a school day, right?
I remember! It'll be so great to see everybody in class again!
It sure will.
Preparation Room
There's an extra piece of cake...
It'll be hard to divide this into fifths.
We'll rock-paper-scissors for it, then.
No way, I'm terrible at that game.
Then let's settle it the old fashioned way!
Very well, I accept your challenge.
Okay! The winner gets the cake! The loser gets a forehead flick from everyone!
A forehead flick?!
Oo, let's do it!
Throw the game! If you lose, you'll get smacked!
I follow you!
Okay, let's start!
I'll start! Ready, set, five!
Ready, set, three! Oops.
Ready, set, seven!
Ready, set, one!
Ready, set, two!
I won!
What kind of person loses at the game they suggested?
I'm so jealous, Mugi-chan...
Well, let's eat quickly and then start practicing.
Yeah, I get to have my strawberry today, so I won't even put up a fight this time.
I remember one time when Ritsu ate the strawberry on my cake, and I whacked her.
Nodoka-chan!
What on earth is the matter, Yui?
Look at her!
She had her strawberry stolen, and she's heartbroken! She's in tears!
That's how important the strawberry is, Nodoka-chan!
I apologize for hurting your feelings, then.
You finally understand, Nodoka-chan!
Mio-chan, I'm so sorry.
You want to be hit?
I'm sorry, I know it's silly.
No, it's Mio's fault for not reacting to any of your gags.
It is not!
You should have said something in the first place!
You just want a love tap, right?
Y-You'll do it?
I guess it's not that big a deal.
Gie's a bosie!
Seriously, where the heck are you from?
Whenever you are ready!
You are one strange cookie...
Um...
Wow, she's really tense, huh?
Why me?!
I guess nothing worked... I'm sorry.
No, I should be apologizing to you. It was an odd request.
If you just want to be bonked on the head, there ought to be a way...
For instance...
Thank you, but I'm giving up on it.
Really?
Oh, dear. You have a welt on your forehead.
You make an excellent escort, Ritchan.
You're sweet, and you will do anything for a friend.
If you were a boy, girls would be lining up for you.
How the heck am I supposed to respond to that?!
Ouch!
Yeah. Sorry about that.
Well, you remember when I called and asked if you wanted to go hang out?
I ran into Mugi right after that, and...
Where did we go? Um a dagashi candy store, a game center, that kind of thing.
Mugi was totally into everything.
Admittedly, she's always like that.
And then she was like, "I want to be whacked on the head!"
That kind of thing has to be spontaneous, you know what I mean? So I...
Oops. Hello? Mio?
Um, are you mad at me?
Why?
Why didn't you invite me to come along?!
I wanted to hang out with Mugi, too!
I DID invite you.

I hope that you all had a full, productive summer.
It gives me no end of joy to see all your tanned, energetic faces here once again.
The experiences that you gain during high school are irreplaceable, as well as...
Why the heck do we have to run a whole 42.195 kilometers?
What a unique flavor...
That's it! That's what we'll do!
The marathon will be canceled, and we'll have a red bean soup contest instead!
