Ai-chan, on Aqua's calendar, autumn starts today.
We Undines have changed to our winter uniforms, too.
Huh? are you okay, President Aria?
These next few months, while the days are pleasant from morning until night,
are called the autumn sight-seeing season,
and people have gathered again in time for the festival.
Gondola coming through!
How are things over there?
sora kara futto hanabira yurete
The flower petals suddenly flutter down from the sky
nobashita te no hira maiorita yo
and sweep into my outstretched palms.
yukikau fune shibuki wo agete
The passing boats splash in the water
natsukashii kimi no egao
and I'm reminded of your face.
aitakute yuuforia
I want to see you. Euphoria.
haruka tooku hanareteru toki mo
Even when we're separated by great distances
atatakaku ikidzuiteru yo
I can feel the warmth of your sigh.
sore wa kimi to tsunagatteiru kiseki
That is the miracle which joins us together.
doko ni ite mo kimi to issho ni iru kara
Because I'm with you wherever you are.
The Fruits Of That Encounter...
Akari?
Akari!
Ah, sorry. What is it?
What's wrong? You're spacing out more than normal.
Now that you mention it, she doesn't seem that energetic today.
It's just... I haven't been getting any e-mails from Ai-chan.
Oh yeah, she did say her grandma is unwell, didn't she.
Yeah.
I wonder if that's why?
I don't know, but...
She did say she'd come to the Redentore Festival, right?
Yeah.
And that she wants to see my new gondola.
I'm sure she's just busy with school.
An e-mail could come any day now.
I hope so.
It's one more week until Redentore, isn't it.
Yep.
What are you doing for this year's Redentore, Seniors?
Himeya has a company party every year, so I guess I'll go with Akira-san.
And you, Akari-senpai?
Last year I received an invitation from a client of Alicia-san's and we went together,
but if Ai-chan can come this year, then I thought we could all wait for her.
I see.
So what did you do last year, Junior-chan?
I slept.
Eh?
What?
You slept?
Even though it's a festival?
But doesn't this festival involve partying all night?
And I had school the next day as normal, anyway.
Well, there is that.
That's a shame.
But the next day is a holiday this year, so it'll be fine, right?
Ah! Alicia-san!
Huh?
Akira-san and Athena-senpai are here, too.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Uhh...
Why have the Three Great Fairies gathered together?
Could it be... special training again?
Well...
Special training, huh?
Well, you could say that.
Okay, Akari. Question.
Yes?
What is Redentore?
Uhh... Redentore is a summer festival that originally started between nobles back in Venice on Man-Home.
Everyone boards various boats and parties all night long, until the sun comes up.
As time passed, it became a reminder of the beginning of autumn on Neo-Venezia.
Hmm, it was a little awkward, but for the time being, you pass.
Yes.
Umm... Are the six of us going together this year?
Wrong!
Akari-chan, you three will be doing the hosting.
Huh? We'll be doing the hosting?
You'll prepare the food and drinks, and of course...
...arrange the interior decorations and programme.
It'll be a challenge, won't it.
It'll be your chance to show lots of people your entertaining skills, won't it.
The flavour of traditional dishes, as well as the choice of drinks to suit them is important, too.
You're worried, right?
Umm...
In other words...
You mean...
As a matter of fact, for your sake, we went and especially arranged for a Redentore houseboat.
Training. This is training.
Eh?
Ehh???
Do your best, you three.
Yes.
Ahh, they've sure got us.
What should we do, Aika-chan?
I wonder if we can really handle an entire houseboat on our own.
I'm so anxious.
I wonder if we can do it well.
Excuse me.
You're early, aren't you, Junior-chan.
Did you come straight from school?
Yes. I wanted to show you these quickly.
I made these during my recess hour today, but...
Are those invitations to our houseboat?
Yes, what do you think?
Wow! Amazing, amazing!
Yep! They're cute, Alice-chan!
Really?
Are you really excited about the Redentore training, Alice-chan?
Yes.
Okay! Now we're all set to go, aren't we!
I'll give my best too, Alice-chan!
I'll really give my best, too!
I won't lose!
Me neither, me neither!
Putting aside the issue of food and drinks for later,
shall we first decide who to invite?
The houseboat's capacity, including us, is 12 people in total, isn't it.
Yes.
Okay, that leaves nine, huh?
If we can't leave out Alicia-san, Akira-san or Athena-san...
...or Mister Mailman-san, Akatsuki-san or Woody-san...
Wait, Akari! Give this some serious thought!
Eh?
You seem to have a lot of casual acquaintances.
Well, who do you want to invite, Aika-chan?
Eh?
Well... maybe Al-kun...
What?
No, it's nothing.
Here!
Yes, Alice-chan?
Grandma.
I totally agree.
Okay, let's send the invitations tomorrow without delay.
That leaves only one more person. What should we do?
Umm... I'd like to invite Ai-chan, but...
I really agree, but...
...would she be able to make it now?
That's right.
Redentore is one week away.
But... she said she definitely wanted to come, so...
...I'd like to wait for her...
Okay then.
Thank you!
Okay, I'll try e-mailing her the invitation one more time.
For Redentore, you always have wild duck meat, don't you.
The problem is flavour, isn't it.
You're right.
If it's too strong, then it can be hard on older people, can't it.
What about having a balance of fish and vegetable dishes?
Yeah!
Alice-chan?
I wonder if Grandma likes mushrooms.
At any rate, let's try making a lot of different things.
Yeah.
Yes.
The preparatory phase was trial and error,
and anxiety and failures just piled up.
Hey, Akari!
Whatever we tried doing, it was all fresh and passed in the twinkling of an eye.
All the guests should have an enjoyable time.
We made preparations with only that in mind.
Those were really fulfilling and worthwhile days.
I'm really looking forward to the actual day.
And so the day of Redentore has finally come.
It's now the real time to get all nervous and excited.
Suppose... nobody comes...
Wha?
Ai-chan didn't respond, either.
Good evening.
Ah, Mister Mailman-san!
May I go in yet?
Please do.
Welcome and thank you for coming.
Oh, did I get here first?
Here, these are thanks for inviting me.
Ah, they're pretty! Thank you very much.
Pigtails, we're here!
Thanks for the invitation, yo.
Thank you for coming.
My my, good evening.
Alicia-san!
The interior decorations are passable.
Don't mind us.
Please come in.
Please, this way, everyone.
My my, thank you.
That was really like you, Athena.
Really?
Good evening.
Ah, Al-kun!
Oh, you came!
Thank you very much for the invitation.
You're late.
Let me take your coat.
Sorry, I had to finish off at work.
Then couldn't you have at least passed on a word or two?
And who are you? You sound like a couple of newlyweds.
Shut up, Pony-man!
Grandma!
Sorry I'm late.
Oh my, this looks lively.
This way please.
It's great, isn't it, Alice-chan.
Here's some muscat taken from my house.
Thank you very much.
It looks delicious.
Long time no see!
Everyone is looking better than ever.
Ai-chan hasn't come, has she.
No.
But we need to take the gondola out to open water soon...
You're right.
Akari-san!
Akari-san!
Ai-chan!
Akari-san!
Akari-san!
Ai-chan! I was thinking you couldn't come!
Is your grandma better?
Yep, almost completely.
I thought I'd surprise you so I didn't reply.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I brought her with me on a business trip of mine,
but we ended up arriving later than expected.
Oh my, you're Ai-chan's sister's...
Her husband, Atsui.
Thank you for that time.
It's been a while.
I'm terribly sorry,
but I have work to go to immediately,
so may I leave Ai with you?
Yes, of course. She's most welcome.
Well then, please take care of her.
Sure!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Oh, here it comes!
It smells good, yo.
Wow, it looks delicious!
I want to eat already!
I'm getting hungry.
My my, what a pretty arrangement.
It looks like you did a pretty good job.
Uhh, everybody, I'd like to welcome you all tonight.
Uhh, it's not much,
but it's a great pleasure to have you here to enjoy this long autumn night with us.
And so, here's to a wonderful Rendentore...
Cheers!
Cheers!
Hey, what's this food?
Roast duck with stewed kidney beans.
This marinade has a lot of mushrooms in it.
It's a very extravagant flavour.
Thank you very much.
Grilled rice balls?
Please, feast upon them.
Challenging my speciality cooking...
You've got guts.
I tried sticking stewed pork cubes in them.
Hey!
Pass.
I did it!
You must be hungry, Ai-chan.
Eat up.
Thank you very much.
This duck confi might be tasty! Only joking.
[Pun on kamo (duck) and ka mo (might).]
Oh, it sure is superb.
Ah, it was a joke saying "this duck might be tasty".
Yes, old man jokes aren't allowed.
Ehh?
What's this? A sideshow?
I will now dance with President Aria.
Ahh, me too!
Wonderful, yo!
Bravo!
The interior is calm and everyone feels at home.
It's incredible. You three really did your best.
After a long time together, everyone's talking gradually ceased.
It's a wonderful stillness that we've very naturally come to.
I find this atmosphere irresistible.
Akari-senpai, it's almost time.
Yep.
Aika-chan.
Okay!
Eh? What's this? What's this?
A power outage?
It's already midnight, huh?
We forgot the time.
It's beautiful, yo.
Striking, isn't it.
It pains me to say it, but the way you casually cut the lights was staged brilliantly.
Look! Come over here!
Eh? But...
It's grandma's wish.
Okay!
Thank goodness everyone was pleased.
Yeah.
Thank you very much for inviting us today.
Thanks to you three, we've had a very enjoyable Redentore.
All of us here might not have been able to see each other if it weren't for you three.
It's the fruits of this wonderful encounter.
The fruits of... this wonderful encounter.
Now, here's to our wonderful Undines in the making, who gave us this time...
Cheers!
The scent of Aqua...
The scent of the sea...
Yeah.
The sound of the waves and the wind...
We've finally met.
I'm...
...glad I met you, Akari-san.
Tomorrow, let's go searching together for Aqua's wonders!
Really?
Yay!
I want to go to Hope Hill.
And I want to see what riding on the water elevator is like.
And then... And then...
Wrapped in this gentle time given by the sound of the waves...
...this planet might continue watching over all the various encounters forever.
sariyuku natsu no hi omoi wo yosete tsudou barukonii
Gather on the balcony and fall in love with the departing summer's day.

The wind gondola sets off shining on the water's surface.

now lights up the night sky like a bright midsummer night's dream.
