Part 101: 8/23/09

8/23/09

The Film Festival is still going on for the rest of this coming week.



> Maybe you should invite someone from the dorm to go with you…

Everyone was pretty busy, though.



I’ve been doing it little by little, but for right now, I’m going to take a break from it.

Makes sense I guess.



Narrator: Episode 27: The Gate of Hell Opens! Swallow! Condor! Owl! Gooooo!
Newscaster: …And now, the news.

Fuuka’s been researching the public’s response to The Lost.



There are four Shadows left… We must stop them at all cost.

It wasn’t who I would have figured, but I did find someone who wanted to go to the movies eventually.



Have you heard about the film festival? The theater by the train station holds one every year.
I tried inviting the others just now, but it seems no one is interested…
The theme this year is so exciting, too…
> It seems Ikutsuki really wants to go to the film festival.
I can go with you.
Really?
…I wonder if I’ll get in trouble if I go to the movies with a student.
…Oh, well. It’s summer vacation!
Let’s go, then. I’ll pay for your ticket, of course.
> You decided to go to the film festival with Ikutsuki.

It was a pretty weird theme today.



This is a rare opportunity indeed.
It’s rare that movies like this are all played at once.
I hope that you enjoy them as much as I will.
> ………
> You sensed a philosophical meaning behind the lines and development of the plot in the old movies…
What wonderful movies! Those were as good as I was expecting.
The listings emphasized the way they’d present the origin of modernism, but they even showed silent films!
That exchange at the station was intriguing. It was clearly influenced by western literature, and…
> Ikutsuki is talking by himself…
Hm? What’s the matter? Why so quiet?
Was it a bit much for you, seeing so many difficult movies all in a row?
Hmm… perhaps it’s best to see movies about modernism in modern-ation!
……
Well then, let’s go back.
> You decided to go back to the dorm with Ikutsuki.

Aigis asked about school again.



…I have a question.
Why is school temporarily closed during the summer?
It’s customary.
Interesting…
…Then, school resumes the following month.
…I comprehend.

Junpei’s been slacking off even harder.



What an idiot. He’s only making things worse for himself…

He’s pretty much doomed.



Yes! We have an important mission!!
I think homework is also an important mission…
Yeah, and I’m sure Senpai would agree.
…Hmph.

At least we’re all good.



…but doing our summer vacation homework is just as important.
In fact, it may be more of a priority because of the time constraint…
That’s right… Have YOU been doing your homework, Junpei?
Of course! Who do you think I am!
…Alright, ya got me! I haven’t done any of it yet!
......
What? Don’t look at me like that!

Ikutsuki was still talking about the movies from earlier.



…I’ve been saying that to everyone, but nobody will listen.
Don’t young people these days know about modernism? I feel there’s such a generation gap…

I headed down to the mall for a bit, I wanted to pick something up from the antique shop.



Yukari and I took Koro-chan out for a walk, ran into a familiar face while we were out there.



Hmm… The night air feels so good in the summer.
…Huh? Who’s that old man there?
My, my. If it isn’t Aelita-chan.
Um… You know this guy?
Well, you’re quite a looker there. If only I was ten years younger…
Oh… Haha, thanks…
Aren’t you girls out late, walking around at night like this? Getting into trouble, are we?
Of course, when I was your age, I had all the neighbors complaining about me, too.
IF you saw me then, I’m sure you’d both be falling head-over-heels for me.
> You talked for a while.
Woof.
> It seems Koromaru is done playing.
* yawn * I’m getting tired, Aelita. Let’s go home, okay?
‘Bye, mister.
> You decide to go back to the dorm with Koromaru.
