It's been a while since we last left school.
Let's go check out some dumbbells!

Hey there, guys!
Yo.
Community service?
Yup!
We're helping Komari-san!
Precisely!
I was feeling bored.
You too, Rin?
Something wrong with that?
I don't think I could do that kind of work.
Doing something for someone you've never met, with no benefit for yourself...
That's not true, Kyousuke-san.
If you make someone happy, you make yourself happy too.
Helping someone in even the tiniest way is a very good thing.
And when you do something good, you feel good too.
It's a big benefit for me!
That's Komari-san's Happiness Spiral Theory.
Holy crap! I'm moved!
You get moved way too easily.
Allow me to help out the cause as well!
I only have a 5-yen coin and a 10,000-yen bill!
What?!
5 yen?!
Or 10,000 yen?!
10,000 yen?!
Are you sure, Kyousuke?!
If you do, it'll prove your heart is huge!
Um...
You could just donate the 5 yen...
What we're really collecting is kindness.
If you donate 5 yen with a lot of kindness, it's priceless!
Crap! I'm even more moved now!
Farewell, Yukichi!
Kyousuke, why don't you just get change?
Here's 200 yen from Kyousuke and me.
Thank you!
Thanks, Riki.
I'll pay you back later.
100 yen?
Is 50 yen okay?
Then I'll donate 55 yen!
Hey!
56 yen!
60 yen!
Quit trying to be all bourgeois and raising it on me, jerkwad!
Who're you calling bourgeois, brokeass?
What'd you call me?!
Guys, it's not about how much you donate.
What they're really collecting is kindness!
At that moment, I thought...
If only Nishizono-san could be a part of these fun times...
Nishizono-san?
I thought that maybe I was just seeing things.

When you look into the clear blue sky,
sometimes it feels like sunny days like this will continue forever.
But our days aren't always sunny.
Good times don't last forever.
Haha! No way!
Hey!
Stop right there!
That was mean!
Nishizono-san!
Are you okay?
Those jerks...
It's okay.
I'm accustomed to it.
I'm like a pebble on the side of the road.
But...
Good-bye.
Nishizono-san! Wait!
I've been thinking...
Yes?
Would you be our manager?
Manager?
Yeah, manager.
For what?
Us!
You're making an idol debut?
Natsume-san, Inohara-san, Miyazawa-san, and Naoe-san...
I see.
I've heard that Natsume-san is popular with the girls.
And Miyazawa-san has a rather rough exterior.
But I'm not so sure about the remaining two.
They might be hard to work with.
But I suppose that's where a manager comes in.
I understand.
I accept your offer.
Hold on. That's not what I mean...
Oh, I see.
That's not what you're shooting for.
Let's see...
You do have a baby face, so you might be popular with a certain demographic.
If we paired you with Natsume-san and his brotherly love image...
That might just work.
Natsume x Naoe.
I can work with this.
That's not what I mean!
I want you to be our baseball team's manager.
Baseball?
Right. Our team's manager.
Can you do it?
I understand.
I accept your offer.
What? Really?
Yes.
I don't know much about baseball, but I did accept earlier, even if I was mistaken.
Thanks!
Alright!
I'd like you to welcome our new manager, Nishizono-san.
It's a pleasure to be here.
A manager, huh?
Good work, Riki!
We had some difficulties finding enough members, but we've got a full team now!
The time has come!
This is our team, the Little Busters!
Yay!
No, Nishizono-san is a manager, so we still need one more member.
What?
Nishizono won't hit?
Right.
She won't field?
Right.
She could just stand in the outfield and do nothing!
I can't stand the sunlight.
Kyousuke-san, what was that about having a full team?
That doesn't matter!
It's just amateur baseball!
Two outfielders is good enough!
We're a full team with just eight people and a manager!
This is our team, the Little Busters!
Yay!
Welcome to the team!
Let's try our best together!
Quite the feast for the eyes.
Don't you think our team's looking a bit too soft?
Yeah, but that's typical Kyousuke.
The Little Busters is clearly the best!
Alright! That's it for today!
Good work!
Wafu...
I'm tired...
Good work, everyone.
Oh, thanks!
Wafu!
At first, I had my doubts as to whether we needed a manager,
but when you get a little reward after practice like this,
you can't help but feel like working even harder the next day.
Are you all right?
It's hot!
Mio-chin, it's way too hot!
It's like, "Take this! Damn you! Shit!" hot!
Wafu...
It might be better to make iced tea next time.
It seems that way.
Um...
Do you have a cell phone, Nishizono-san?
Could I get your number?
Yeah! Yeah!
Me too!
Well...
I do have one, but...
I never use it, so I've forgotten how to turn it on...
You press and hold to turn it on.
Press and hold? What?
Here.
Oh, I see.
So, Mio-chin...
What's your number?
Well...
I don't know my own number.
That's surprising.
I kind of pictured you reading the manual from cover to cover.
Like the way you'd drool over a fat book.
I did read it.
Perused completely.
But there are too many buttons.
I don't know what's what.
Can I take a look at it?
Go ahead.
Alright.
Everyone, call this number.
I'll add you to the contacts.
Okay!
Now let's call!
Wafu!
Click!
Let's do it!
Boom!
A singularity has exploded!
It's the enemy! Get down!
Oh no! It's horrible!
I see.
Man, they're so noisy.
Here's my number.
You can call me any day, any time.
Hey, don't throw it away!
It blew off in the wind.
Let's just leave it at that.
Come on! Call me too!
Why're you getting all desperate?
Riki, look at this!
The only people in my call history are you and Kyousuke!

This makes me look like I'm swimming with the ladies!
Yeah, it does.
Wow...
But something feels wrong.
Riki, could you fill this cell phone with you and just you?
It feels way better when the call history is full of only you!
No way!
That's just gross!
What are you doing?
I'm trying to call Inohara-san.
You just press this.
Oh, hello?
Hello?
Oh, hi!
Good day.
Oh yes, a good day to you too.
You're right in front of each other.
You don't need the phone...
I have completed my mission.
Oh, right.
Here's my e-mail address.
Drop me a line sometime.
Don't throw it away!
I'm sorry.
It blew off in the wind again.
Hey! Wait for me!
Hey!
Wait!
Looks like Nishizono-san's going to get along just fine.
Let's go to practice, Manager-san!
We're starting practice now.
Little Busters, go!
Wait right there!
I've got something special planned for today.
This!
Shine! The 10th Annual Tanka Contest
~ Not Enka, Tanka!
All our activities in the Little Busters are athletic,
so I thought we should try something literary for a change.
How about we participate in a tanka contest?
Tanka?
Sounds fun!
I love traditional Japanese poems!
I wouldn't mind.
Let's come up with one together!
"Tanka"?
You know, it starts with a 5-7-5...
My head...
Don't try to think!
It's too much for your brain!
Just forget about this and continue living blissfully unaware!
No, I'll do it!
Writing a tanka will be hard for all of us, not just Masato.
That being the case, we need you for this activity, Nishizono.
Can you lend us your talents for this?
Please teach me what a tanka is!
Alright...
Allow me to explain.
Bring it!
A tanka is one of the forms of Japanese poetry,
consisting of an upper phrase with a 5-7-5 rhythm, and a lower phrase with a 7-7 rhythm.
Looking at literary history,
the tanka had already been used as a conversational form in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki...
The form gained general popularity in the latter half of the 8th century as the Man'yoshu was collected.
Is it over yet?!
For a time, the kanshi, or Chinese-style poem, became the chief style of poetry.
The tanka then saw a revival in the 10th century.
The tanka was only accepted by the nobility as a high form of Japanese poetry after...
Um, Nishizono-san...
I think it'd be best if you just teach us how to write one.
I'm sorry, I got carried away.
I've got a great idea, Mio-chin!
Yes?
How about each of us writes 5 or 7 syllables on a tanzaku?
And then put them all together?
Exactly!
Then it'll really be a Little Busters masterpiece!
Sounds fun, right?
Wow! Just five syllables?
I don't need to think up a whole poem?!
I have my misgivings, but...
Has everyone written one?
Let's shuffle them!
Alright! We start with a 5, right?
Let's go.
The wind shines brightly
It's actually starting out decently, strangely enough.
By your side, as there you run
Ah, to see you run
Weird, it's actually sounding natural.
Let's do the lower phrase now.
Wearing those bright red bloomers
I am a freaking giant
The wind shines brightly
By your side, as there you run
Ah, to see you run
Wearing those bright red bloomers
I am a freaking giant
Little Busters
I don't want to see a giant like that.
No, it's a masterpiece!
I'm moved!
What do you say, Nishizono?
Unfortunately, the subject of the poem is unclear.
It's harder than I thought.
Want to give it another shot?
Okay! Let's try!
Let's do it!
We might come up with a good one eventually if we keep this up.
Let's see...
Is the rice done yet?
A man, covered in red blood
A howling dog cries
The silence of a barrel
A super-technology
Where'd Nishizono-san go?
Sorry. I made the birds fly away again.
It's okay.
Have a seat.
Okay.
I guess it's hard keeping up with everyone.
No, that's not it.
I'm not sure what to think because I feel like it might be fun being with everyone.
I've never known anyone I could really call a friend.
This is my first time spending time with this many people.
You're all so... bright.
So you're trying to avoid denying the way you've lived up until now?
Why not just accept that it's fun now?
Maybe I should.
But...
It's too late.
I think.
It's not too late!
You've got plenty of time!
Naoe-san, do you know why I read so many books?
Huh?
One of my favorite authors once wrote,
"I believe that stories are written and read to rebel against the fact that you only live once."
When you read a story, you become its main character.
You live happily with others and live a life without pain or suffering.
I thought to myself...
If only I could read every book ever written...
Every book ever written?
My life is too short to read all the books in a library.
Don't you think that's sad?
An airplane made of paper will always fall to the ground.
But still, it would be wonderful if you could ride on that plane and fly somewhere far away.
Nishizono-san might want to be alone.
Like a white bird, unstained by the blue.
Where would you go, Naoe-san?
Huh?
On a paper airplane.
Where would I go?
Well, let's see...
Blue sky, white clouds,
palm trees swaying in the wind...
Maybe Hawaii?
Hey, don't laugh.
I'm sorry.
You just sounded so childish.
Then where would you go?
The sea, I think.
The sea and the sky.
A blue world, stretching on to eternity.
To fly through it on a paper airplane,
forever.
Forever?
It's just a childish dream.
For some reason, I felt an uneasiness well up inside me.
As though Nishizono-san wanted to disappear into thin air.
And then I remembered.
Oh, right.
Last Sunday, I saw someone that looked just like you in town.
I was probably just seeing things, though.
She didn't have a parasol.
Was there anything else different about her?
I mean...
Apart from the parasol.
She was different.
She had an expression I've never seen you make.
She was smiling.
Yeah.
I see.
The wind is starting to grow too strong.
Naoe-san.
Thanks to you, I've thought up a tanka.
I think I might submit it to the competition.
For some reason, my unease grew stronger as well.
Morning!
Good morning!
Kud-o!
Guess I'll start spinning you now!
Please stop!
Saigusa, you're not in this class.
My head is spinning!
Why're you here all the time?
I wonder!
Um, we have a message from Nishizono-san.
She's going to be absent today.
Nishizono-san's absent?
She doesn't feel very well.
A cold?
I don't know much more than that...
If Masato or Saigusa-san were to be absent,
everyone would say, "It's too quiet today. Something bad must be about to happen."
But if Nishizono-san were absent, no one would notice.
Just as no one would notice if a pebble on the side of the road were to disappear.
Hey! Coming to school after lunch?
I saw Shadowless in town.
She'd never skip school.
Better get your eyes checked.
Well, I don't really remember what she looked like, so...
Probably someone else.
Oh, and she didn't have her umbrella-thing either.
She didn't have a parasol?
I felt something strange.
Something was about to happen to Nishizono-san.
What...
What was it?

Where has Nishizono-san gone?
I have to find her!
