The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya Page #8

Please come with me.

S-Student Council Information...

What's that

Asahina-san... sorry!

Just come with me.

Sorry, I

Hello!

We'll be intruding!

Please excuse us.

Good afternoon!

Um...

Wh-Where is this?

Why did you br

Wh-Why are you locking the door?

What are you

Be quiet.

Her reaction is so similar to the one in the past, I could cry.

So nostalgic...

And you're Nagato Yuki-san?

Pleased to meet you!

I'm Suzumiya Haruhi.

The girl here with ridiculously large b*obs is Asahina-san,

and the guy in the gym outfit there is Koizumi-kun.

Hi there.

You look so suspicious.

And you already know that guy right?

He's John Smith.

John Smith?

Just leave it at that for now.

So this is the SOS Brigade's clubroom...

There's nothing here, but it's a nice room.

It's probably worth bringing a bunch of stuff in here.

Um...

So, what do we do now?

You came here without any plan?

That seriously is your way of thinking.

Anyway, commuting all the way here is a little inconvenient, isn't it?

Meaning?

I don't mind having this room as our base, but it would be a waste of time making the trip here every time.

Oh yeah!

How about we set a time and meet up at the caf in front of the station?

Hold on a second...

You're going to create the SOS Brigade in this world?

That's your plan?

The name doesn't really matter.

For the time being, our goal should be...

Assuming you're a slider, to get you back to your original world!

After that

Like I said...

That gave me a shock...

It was the computer?

Suddenly starting it up like that...

Nagato-san, you didn't do that?

You didn't set it up to automatically turn on?

What? What's going on?

Just hold on!

John...

What's wrong?

Have you lost it?

No, I'm quite sane.

If you are reading this,

then I am probably no longer myself.

Yeah.

That's right, Nagato...

When this message appears,

it means that you, me, Suzumiya Haruhi, Asahina Mikuru,

and Koizumi Itsuki are all present.

That's right.

Everyone's been assembled.

That is the key.

You have found the answer.

It wasn't me who found it.

I was just dragged along by Haruhi, with Koizumi in tow as well.

Though I have to say, it sure has been a while, Nagato.

This is the emergency escape program.

This is the emergency escape program

To activate it, press Enter,

otherwise, press any other key.

If you activate it,

you will be given a chance to repair the space-time continuum.

However, there is no guarantee of success.

There is also no guarantee of your safe return.

This program can be started

only once.

Once executed, it will be erased.

If you choose not to activate it, it will also be erased.

Hey, what does this mean?

What kind of trick is this?

Explain this, John!

Nagato.

Do you remember any of this?

No.

Are you sure?

Why?

This is a message that Nagato left for me.

I don't know what kind of device this emergency escape program is,

but there's no mistaking that this was set up by her.

If I doubt what she says then I've really lost it.

Hey John, what's happening?

You've been acting strange, and you haven't told us anything about what's going on here.

What on earth is

Be quiet for a moment.

Sorry, I'm trying to gather my thoughts.

I see.

What is it?

Nothing...

Nagato.

Sorry, but you can have this back.

I see.

But you know, Nagato...

I already belonged here to begin with.

That's why there's no point in me enrolling.

After all...

After all, I'm a member of the SOS Brigade first and foremost!

Yeah, of course my answer is "Okay".

I won't forgive you.

I envy you.

This is...

the Literature clubroom?

But...

It doesn't seem like I've returned to my original world...

This is the Literature clubroom like it was just now.

There's none of the SOS Brigade paraphernalia that Haruhi brought in.

It's hot...

Damn it...

It's feels almost like midsummer

When is this?

My shoes weren't in my locker.

And it's unmistakably the middle of summer right now.

It looks like I've been thrown into a different world again.

In that case, my top priority is to find out what the current year, month, day, hour, minute, and second is.

There's a huge timeframe difference between the past and future, after all.

Welcome!

So that's how it is, Nagato.

Monday, July 7th

The nationwide festival of Tanabata.

Monday, July 7th

Today is July 7th, three years ago.

Which means...

That's right...

On this day, after writing Tanzaku in the clubroom,

I went time traveling with Asahina-san and met her grown up version.

And then I helped the first year middle schooler Haruhi draw on the school grounds.

After that, having lost Asahina-san's time traveling device, we went to Nagato's apartment and enlisted her help.

Which would mean that right now they're here.

Two people who can help me are here!

On that Tanabata, we time traveled here and arrived at around 9pm.

Not long after that, Asahina-san lost consciousness,

and in her place, a grown up Asahina-san arrived to give me directions.

I could go see Nagato in her apartment now, but I can't meet her before we're supposed to have our first meeting.

There they are!

What an envious situation for that other me to be in...

I really want to switch places with myself right now.

But that me at that time doesn't know another me is here.

If I change that, I'll create inconsistencies in the timeline.

I don't want to mess up the space-time continuum any more than it already has been.

Asahina-san?

Here she comes.

If I remember correctly, right after that...

Adult Asahina-san, confirmed!

Everything's proceeding as I remember.

After that, I went to meet the first year middle schooler Haruhi,

but this me has no business with her.

Asahina-san!

Um...

I...

Good evening, Kyon-kun.

It's been a long time, hasn't it?

I'm glad we managed to meet up.

I was worried I might have made a mistake somewhere.

Asahina-san, you knew I would....

I mean, the me right here and now, would come here again, right?

Yes, because it's a predetermined fact.

On that Tanabata, the little Asahina-san brought me to the Tanabata three years ago, which is today.

The one who arranged for her to do that was you, right?

Yes.

It was necessary, otherwise this you wouldn't be here right now.

Um...

Could the John Smith that Haruhi said called out to her on her way home be...

Yes, that's right.

It's you, Kyon-kun.

This you.

It's my duty to set you on the right direction from this point onwards,

but after that you have to decide your own course.

All I can do is provide guidance.

What happened to the flow of time?

It seems like its become tangled in an incredibly complicated way.

I can't explain the details.

Classified information?

No, that's not it.

I can't explain it in any way you would understand.

Back when I first told you my real identity, you didn't understand any of my explanation either.

I would only confuse you.

I see...

You'll understand soon.
