Summer vacation... But as seniors, you will have summer session classes, so...
One, two! One, two!
One, two!
Let's have another training camp!
A training camp!
Let's! Let's!
Good idea!
Hey, wait! We have entrance exams to...
All those in favor! Hey, wait! We have entrance exams to...
All those in favor!
Aye!
Hey! If we're voting, we need to ask Azusa if she...
I already texted Azu-nyan and asked her.
So that makes it 4 to 1, huh?
Right, then! We're having a training camp again this year!
Yeah!
Y-Yeah.

Come on in, everyone!
Thanks for having us!
Sis! Everybody's here!
Hey, guys!
C'mon in, c'mon in!
Talk about lazing around the house...
Good to see you! Let's play some video games!
Let's! Let's!
I didn't know you played fighting games, Yui.
What did we come here for, again?
Haruko lent this one to me. What did we come here for, again?
Haruko lent this one to me. It was SUPPOSED to be a meeting about the training camp.
Come on, let's get down to business.
Aw, we can play for a while...
Yeah, yeah!
Um, are you sure a training camp is a good idea?
Why wouldn't it be?
Well, you're all seniors, for one thing.
We need a little break, ya know?
Yeah, yeah!
Are you sure it's going to just be "a little"?
We went to the beach the last two years, so how about the mountains this time?
I wanna go to the beach again!
We'll be able to catch fish in the river and have a barbecue!
That sounds pretty tasty...
Right?
I knew it, you just want to goof off.
By the way, where would you rather go, Azusa?
If they have their hearts set on the mountains, how about Natsu Fest?
Gnats vest?
Nuts pest?
No not that. Natsu Fest!
#12: Summer fest!
It's a huge outdoor venue where lots of different bands play!
Tens of thousands of people go!
I've always wanted to check out Natsu Fest at least once!
Same here!
Plus, it'll be a real learning experience to watch pro bands play!
So, we're agreed?
Natsu Fest is a mountain?
The venue is up IN the mountains.
Inside the mountains...
We won't be eaten alive, will we?
I don't know what you're thinking, but whatever it is, it's wrong.
What do we do about tickets, though? Is it too late to get any?
What would you do without me? I'm not coming to your rescue again.
That's amazing!
That's our Sawa-chan!
What are you, a ninja?!
Could I get a cup of barley tea, too?
S-Sure.
Wow, our first Natsu Fest...
I've never seen an outdoor show before, either!
I bet it feels great!
If you go in with that carefree attitude, you're looking at certain defeat.
Defeat by what?
By summer!
Pay attention!
The glare of the blazing sun! The sweltering heat!
And the summer insects that even now are waiting to eat you alive!
All those who do battle in Natsu Fest must face all of these challenges!
Prepare yourselves!
Yes, ma'am!
Mio-senpai is jazzed up!
Temporary shuttle bus stop Board here
Huh? No one's here yet.
Azusa-chan!
Good morning!
Good morning. Oh, you're the only one here?
Yes...
'Morning! Yes...
Figures, you two are the only ones here on time.
You didn't get much sleep last night, Mio-senpai?
She was up all night, working out which bands to see.
It's packed with bands I want to see!
Yeah, it looks like they have a bunch of stages there.
The bus is here...
I'll try calling Yui-senpai!
I'm right over here, guys!
Good morning!
Yui! Good morning!
You should've said you were here!
I was waiting to see when you would notice me...
Sorry. It never occurred to me that you might get here first.
But that means we're still missing one person.
Girls...
Sawa-chan, what's the matter?
I went out to a show last night and drank until morning...
I came straight here without going to bed...
Ma'am, that was stupid.
Why would you do that if you knew we were leaving today?!
Anyway, let's hit the road! Why would you do that if you knew we were leaving today?!
Anyway, let's hit the road! You told us to take this...
I feel sick...
Welcome to the club...
You're sick because you're hung over, right?
I live the rock-n-roll lifestyle...
I don't know what that means...
Are you two all right?
Yui-senpai gets carsick really easily, doesn't she?
I'm going to see this band and this band, period!
How? They're playing at the same time on different stages.
I want two bodies!
Choose one or the other. Or only listen to half of each.
I want to teleport!
Get real.
Wow, Mio-senpai is acting like a baby.
I want yakisoba! Yakisoba!
Yakisoba is the one thing I intend to eat!
Mugi-senpai is acting childish, too!
Aw, c'mon, Ritsu! Mugi-senpai is acting childish, too!
You guys...
I want to die...
I can't believe I'm going to be able to listen to music from sunup to sundown...
She's been getting more and more wound up.
Can you blame her?!
You've got ice cream!
They've got lots of great things to eat! They sell lots of souvenirs, too!
Rest stops are so great! They have everything!
I thought you were feeling sick.
I'm all better!
Try this, Azu-nyan! Soft serve made from rich highlands dairy!
If you're offering.
Our rest stop is nearly over.
But I haven't bought any souvenirs yet!
This isn't our destination!
Indeed it isn't! This is no place to eat yakisoba!
Mugi-senpai is slightly off-kilter, too...
Are we there yet?!
Yui-chan, stay in your seat...
We'll make the opening ceremonies, right?!
Relax, we'll make it!
They'll have tasty food there, right?
Two whole days surrounded by music!
Yui-chan! Yakisoba! Let's eat yakisoba!
Anyway, let's just enjoy ourselves. Yes, let's!
Oo, I could go for some yakisoba! Okay, let's do this!
Is this going to cause problems?
Please don't talk so loudly...
T-There's... so many people!
There are already so many people here...
Are you gonna be okay? It hasn't even started yet.
This is amazing, all right.
This must be, what, 300 million people?
That's more than the entire population of Japan.
Come on, girls!
The slacker attitudes end here!
You were slacking more than any of us!
Hang on, you were flat on your back with a massive hangover!
I've cast off the skin that was the me of yesterday.
The festival entrance! Beyond that gate lies a battlefield!
Lay it on thick, why don't ya?
The wristbands you got in exchange for your tickets
are your passport into this festival of all things rock!
If you lose them, you won't be allowed back in, so keep a close eye on them!
Okay! Before we go in, let's go to the camp area!
We need to secure a place to sleep tonight!
Damn! We got here too late!
The flat area is already packed!
We'll have to make do with the inclined area.
But won't our blood pool in our heads when we sleep?
Sleep with your head uphill, dummy.
Wow, you're an old hand at this, Sawa-chan.
All right, put your things inside.
Hup...
Here goes...
Mugi-chan?
Yahoo!
It's a bit stuffy, but this is wonderful! It's rather painful on the back, though...
We get it, just get out here.
Do you have everything you need?
Yes, ma'am!
Have you put on your sunscreen?
Y-Yes, ma'am!
Have you bought something to drink?
Got it covered! Heat stroke countermeasures are in place!
That's no good! Get a sports drink!
I should leave this here, then?
Bring it.
Water is useful for washing your hands or pouring over yourself when you get hot.
Wow, I guess there really are people who enjoy being anal retentive about this stuff.
Why aren't you wearing sneakers?!
I didn't bring any other shoes.
I'll lend you my flip-flops!
I brought them because I thought we might play in the river.
Do you remember why we came here, lady?
Yui-chan, thank you!
Don't mention it!
I almost forgot, have you sprayed yourselves with bug repellant?
Bug repellent present and accounted for!
Here!
Mugi-chan, thanks! Here!
And here's some for you, Mio-chan.
This reminds me of a grade school hike for some reason.
And now I'll spray you!
Thank you, but I can do it myself.
Aw, but I wanna make it go "pshew," too!
All right.
Yep, definitely grade school.
Ritchan and Azu-nyan, I'll get you guys next!
Are you girls about done dawdling?!
When did Sawa-chan get over... When did Sawa-chan get over...
Forward, march!
Here you are.
Please follow our zero-litter policy!
Garbage bags will be provided!
Thank you for your cooperation!
The Natsu Rock Festival is about to begin!
All right, let me explain how the grounds are laid out.
Yes, ma'am!
First is the Fire Stage, a main venue.
This is one of the two main venues, with a capacity of roughly 40,000!
It's at the foot of a gentle slope, so even people in the back can easily see the stage.
This is the Thunder Stage, known as the alternate main stage.
It can hold 10,000 spectators, and tons of cutting-edge, underground bands play here.
People must go back and forth between those two stages a lot, huh?
Definitely. They're 700 meters apart.
Even if I run at 100m/s, that means it'll still take 70 seconds to cross the distance!
Breathe.
There's also this indoor stage, where lots of up and coming bands play.
The stage furthest in back features a lot of jazz bands and the more "unique" bands.
There's even a small stage that features a lot of acoustic musicians.
Truly, this is a festival of music!
Food! Where do they sell the food?!
Remember, Yui-chan, I'm in it for the yakisoba!
Something is seriously off kilter about these two...
Yeah...
You know, I'm amazed that you just happened to have those tickets.
I come to this festival every year.
Yeah, but why did you have six tickets?
I was expecting to come with friends, but they canceled at the last minute.
Do they hate you or something?
Of course they don't!
I think.
How am I supposed to react to that?
Mio-chan, are you okay?
Now that I'm actually here, the reality is that it's burning hot and packed with people...
Let's get this show started!
Are you ready?!
Yeah! Yeah!
Let's ramp this up!
Wow!
Their sound is so huge!
This is Natsu Fest...
This...
...is the Natsu Fest?
Mio-chan just made her Natsu Fest debut!
Isn't this band great?!
Yeah, the singer's voice is awesome!
All right, people! We're moving!
But I wanna listen to this band some more!
My top band pick is playing at the indoor stage.
It's a little far, so we're gonna have to sprint it!
Go by yourself, Ma'am.
Suit yourselves! I'm out of here! Ritsu! Ritsu! I'm leaving, too! I'm going to the Thunder Stage!
Come on, hurry! If we don't hurry, we'll miss the opening!
Then we'll be right here, okay?
I'll stay, too.
Okay! We'll see you guys later, then!
We'll touch base later and meet up somewhere!
Hurry! Hurry!
Okay, I'm coming! See ya!
Mio, wait up!
Are you sure?
Yeah! You want to listen to this band, too, right?
What about you?
Well, I can't run in flip-flops.
It's good to be back here at Natsu Rock for the first time in three years!
Ritsu! Ritsu!
Huh? What?
This band's guitarist is a lefty!
Wow, you're right.
Kamakiri!
You were right, lefties really DO look weird!
I'm not one to talk, though.
I'm glad you found a fellow southpaw and all, but could you please pipe down?
Yui-senpai's transfixed. She's staring at the stage.
I hope that being here inspires her to take her practicing more seriously.
Azu-nyan, I want to ask you something.
Yes? Ask me what?
How do you think their bassist gets his hair to stay like that?
It must be naturally curly.
Et tu, Mugi-senpai?
Tororo Heaven
Natsu Fest
It's really popular...
It's okay, we'll stand in line with you!
Let's go!
Right!
Excuse me, everyone!
Ten more orders of yakisoba, and we'll be sold out!
Mugi-senpai!
Stay strong! Don't let it get you down!
Let's go get what you want to eat, Yui-chan.
Yui-chan...
This stinks... I wanna go home!
Please don't throw a tantrum.
Oops, I got a text!
She snapped right out of it!
It's from Ritchan!
"Fire Stage from 2PM, Thunder Stage from 3PM, Fire Stage again at 4PM."
Wow, that's a packed schedule.
Right! I'll run there!
Mugi-chan! Mugi-senpai!
THESE GUYS ROCK!
Thank you!
It's just drizzling now.
We have some time to kill before the next band we want to see goes on.
Are you hungry? We missed lunch.
You ate crepes and ice cream, remember?
That's dessert, not lunch.
I'll go buy dinner for us, then.
I'll go with you!
Don't worry, I've got this. You guys stake out a spot for us.
Okay, you know that river that runs through the middle of the boardwalk?
We'll wait for you there.
So, should we set up here?
It looks good.
Ow! Heavy!
Mio-chan!
Welcome back... Thanks...
They were selling t-shirts! That band with the lefty guitarist!
What about the food?
How does it look?!
Wow, nice... Now I want one, too.
Let's all buy one!
I'd like one, too!
Let me see, let me see!
See? What do you think?
It's from Sawa-chan.
She says she bought a bunch of takoyaki, so she'll bring it over!
Takoyaki!
I feel like myself again!
They even have baths here!
It's amazing, isn't it?
I have pins and needles all over...
You're red as a lobster again this year...
I used sunscreen, but it didn't work!
It's okay, you look cute!
Well, I'm going to turn in.
Already?
My neck's killing me from all that headbanging...
You thought it was because of my age, DIDN'T you?
Perish the thought! Perish the thought!
Senpai!
Hey, Azu-nyan.
What are you doing up here?
I've been listening to all the songs in the distance.
They really do play all night, don't they?
Come on, have a seat.
Okay.
Aren't you getting bitten by mosquitoes when you sit still?
Not a problem! I'm wearing two bug repellant wristbands!
Here, I'll give you one.
Thanks.
Goodness gracious me! Are you two having a secret little chat all the way out here?
Come on over, you guys! Let's listen to the songs here for a bit.
It's almost like a dream, isn't it?
Yes, it feels kind of magical.
Yeah, music playing nonstop in a wide open place like this...
Every band I saw today was awesome.
Right. The music's energy... Its intensity was incredible.
Yeah, but I think our performances are more amazing.
Where do you get the confidence to compare us to pros?!
My point is, maybe you should get good enough to play
your guitar without flubbing notes before you say stuff like that!
Ouch, you went for my vulnerable spot...
Still, I do think we're more amazing.
The way we become one, or... how to explain it?
Right! It's our aura!
Do you even know what "aura" means?
Nope.
She's right.
After-school Tea Time is an awesome band, too!
Mio?
Right, Yui?
Right you are, Mio-chan!
You're right! We're just as good as these pros!
Now you, Azusa?!
Next time, we won't come to Natsu Fest to listen, we'll come here to play!
A-Are you serious?!
Right! To play!
Yeah!
Yeah, you're right... Wouldn't it be awesome if we got the chance to play here?
Yeah!
I hope I can keep playing in a band with you guys forever!
I know what you mean.
Me, too.
Yeah! Forever. And ever.

Yakisoba always tastes better when you eat it outside like this, huh?
Yeah, I know what you mean!
Now that you mention it,
Mugi-senpai was looking forward to having yakisoba at Natsu Fest,
but they sold out, and she never got any.
I have a summer house.
You can go to Finland!
I'll take you guys there!
Who are you?
#13: Late Summer Postcard!
Leftovers from lunch detected!
