Nagisa ：“Memories of Nagisa and Haruka’s First Meeting.”

[Nagisa opens the clubroom door] Nagisa ：All right! No one’s here yet, Rei-chan! We’re first in the clubroom today! Rei ：Never mind that, Nagisa-kun. I have a question for you. Nagisa ：What is it, Rei-chan? You can ask anything about me! My birthday is August 1st. I’m a Leo. My favorite food is strawberry shortcake, and the things I dislike are math, peppers, and onions! Rei ：No, that’s not what I– Nagisa ：I like to eat my favorite foods first! Rei ：I said, that’s not what I’m asking. It’s about Haruka-senpai. Nagisa ：Haru-chan? Haruka ：[walks in] What about me? Rei ：Haruka-senpai! I was just about to ask Nagisa-kun about his relationship with you. Haruka ：Our relationship? Nagisa ：But what part? You mean when we swam a relay together in Iwatobi SC during elementary school? Rei ：I’ve already heard about that. What I don’t understand is why Nagisa-kun attaches himself so much to Haruka-senpai. Haruka ：Attaches himself? Rei ：That’s right. In Makoto-senpai’s case, he lives close to you and you’re childhood friends, so I can understand why you two are always together, but why Nagisa-kun? Makoto ：Oh, you do have a point. <font color=>Gou ：I want to know, too! <font color=>Nagisa ：Mako-chan! Gou-chan! When did you get here? <font color=>Makoto ：Just now. But it’s true that Nagisa joined the SC after us. <font color=>Gou ：You were in different elementary schools too, right? <font color=>Makoto ：Rin also joined the SC after us, but the reason he’s obsessed over Haru is because he views him as a rival. <font color=>Rei ：Hmm… Nagisa-kun and Haruka-senpai don’t exactly act like rivals… <font color=>Nagisa ：Then I guess it’s time I told you all now. My heartful first moment meeting Haru-chan, which I’ve never told anyone else before. <font color=>Gou ：Is there some amazing episode involved? <font color=>Nagisa ：Hehe, you could say that. <font color=>Haruka ：First moment? What are you talking about? <font color=>Makoto ：You don’t remember it, Haru? <font color=>Nagisa ：Ehh, that’s terrible! <font color=>Haruka ：I don’t know anything about it. Start changing, everyone, enough of this foolish talk. [Haruka starts to take his clothes off] <font color=>Rei ：Haruka-senpai! For what it’s worth, you’re still in the presence of a girl! <font color=>Gou ：What do you mean, “for what it’s worth”?! Ahh, but I shouldn’t look! <font color=>Makoto ：Hold on! Haru! You wore your swimsuit under your uniform again?! <font color=>Gou ：What incredible triceps! [Haruka runs off] <font color=>Makoto ：[sighs] There he goes. <font color=>Nagisa ：I can’t believe Haru-chan doesn’t remember it at all! Even after he did “that” for me! <font color=>Gou ：“That”? “That” what? <font color=>Rei ：Tell us, Nagisa-kun. <font color=>Nagisa ：Okay. Oh, but since it’s boring just to talk about it, how about we do it like a quiz? Everyone tries to guess the right answer! Whoever wins will receive this Iwatobi-chan Muscle version! <font color=>Rei ：No thanks. <font color=>Gou ：I kind of want it… <font color=>Rei ：Eh, you want it?! <font color=>Nagisa ：Then we’ll start, with no hints! [All three start thinking] <font color=>Gou ：Triceps? <font color=>Makoto ：I knew you’d say that! <font color=>Nagisa ：Wrong! Remember, this is back in elementary school, so we didn’t have a lot of muscle back then. <font color=>Gou ：Then, an elementary schooler’s unmuscular triceps! <font color=>Rei ：That doesn’t make any sense… <font color=>Makoto ：Were you taken by the beauty of Haru’s swimming? <font color=>Nagisa ：Wrong. There was that, but that wasn’t all there was. <font color=>Rei ：Did he give you a mackerel? <font color=>Nagisa ：Wrong. I don’t like mackerel that much. <font color=>Makoto ：Did he teach you how to swim? <font color=>Nagisa ：Wrong. Haru-chan won’t really teach me that sort of thing. <font color=>Gou ：I know! He gave you a penguin! <font color=>Rei ：Eh, a live one? <font color=>Makoto ：That’s a new idea… <font color=>Nagisa ：I want one but… wrong. <font color=>Gou ：Then… <font color=>Rei ：Um… <font color=>Makoto ：Hmm… <font color=>Nagisa ：It’s hard without any hints, huh? Then here’s your first hint! I have three older sisters. <font color=>Rei ：Is that so? <font color=>Makoto ：That counts as a hint? <font color=>Gou ：Could it be that Nagisa-kun’s sisters were also enraptured by Haruka-senpai’s biceps and…! <font color=>Rei ：I think you need to step away from the muscles… <font color=>Makoto ：How would biceps be involved in how Nagisa and Haru first met? <font color=>Gou ：When Nagisa-kun’s sisters saw Haruka-senpai’s muscles, they told him ‘Nagisa, be friends with that boy with the wonderful muscles. To do that, you must join the same SC…’ <font color=>Rei ：That doesn’t make any sense! <font color=>Nagisa ：My sisters don’t know Haru-chan, and they don’t have a muscle fetish. <font color=>Makoto ：If we think about this seriously, since Nagisa is surrounded by sisters, is it that you wanted an older brother to look up to? <font color=>Rei ：I see. We finally have a proper answer. <font color=>Nagisa ：Wrong. It’s not a typical reason like that. It was something more sensational. <font color=>Gou ：Was it because even though he was in elementary school, the development of his trapezius muscles was sensational? <font color=>Rei ：I said, step away from the muscles… <font color=>Nagisa ：Hmm… Then here’s your second hint! A girl’s swimsuit! <font color=>All three ：??? <font color=>Rei ：A girl’s swimsuit? <font color=>Makoto ：Just how does that fit in… <font color=>Gou ：Is this answer something a little extreme? <font color=>Nagisa ：Extreme? <font color=>Gou ：Like, maybe Haruka-senpai stole other people’s swimsuits… <font color=>Makoto ：Haru wouldn’t do that! <font color=>Rei ：Then was it Nagisa who stole other people’s swimsuits and Haruka-senpai came to rescue him when he was caught in the act? <font color=>Nagisa ：Hey, I don’t steal swimsuits either. <font color=>Makoto ：Maybe Nagisa’s sister’s swimsuit got swept up by the ocean and Haru risked his life to get it back? <font color=>Rei ：Wait, then it would be Nagisa-kun’s sister who ends up liking Haruka-senpai. <font color=>Nagisa ：I told you guys before, my sisters have never met Haru-chan. Here’s your third hint then! Despite how I look, I was a weak crybaby when I was little. <font color=>Rei ：Ha. Ha. Ha. What a hilarious joke. <font color=>Nagisa ：It’s not a joke! You should start your guessing by accepting that first as fact! <font color=>Rei ：………… <font color=>Nagisa ：You need that much time to accept it?! <font color=>All three ：Hmm… <font color=>Rei ：I’ve got it. I’ve solved all the riddles. The hints we have so far are Nagisa-kun’s three older sisters, a girl’s swimsuit, and that Nagisa-kun used to cry a lot. From these, I’ve come up with one logical answer. <font color=>Gou /<font color=>Makoto ：! <font color=>Rei ：Nagisa-kun ripped his sister’s swimsuit by accident and while he was going, [imitates Nagisa] “Oh no, what do I do?! My sis is going to kill me!” [normal voice] and crying on the side of the road, Haruka-senpai happened to pass by and he said, [imitates Haru] “Don’t cry, Nagisa. Leave this to me” [normal voice] and pulled an all-nighter sewing the swimsuit back together. That’s it, right? <font color=>Gou /<font color=>Makoto /<font color=>Nagisa ：Ehhh… <font color=>Makoto ：What was logical about that? And you didn’t resemble Nagisa at all… <font color=>Nagisa ：Mm, but it’s close! It’s wrong but you’re heading in the right direction! <font color=>Gou ：It’s close? <font color=>Nagisa ：Yeah, but it’s a little different. Here’s a closing service then! You can call up one person and ask for their opinion. <font color=>Rei ：I see. I’ve seen that before in a quiz show. It’s called a lifeline. <font color=>Gou ：I’ll ask my brother! [Gou calls Rin] <font color=>Gou ：Hello, Brother? <font color=>Rin ：Hm? What’s up, Gou? <font color=>Gou ：Um, I just have a small question. <font color=>Rin ：? <font color=>Gou ：Do you know how Haruka-senpai and Nagisa-kun became so close? <font color=>Rin ：Huh? How would I know that? Don’t call me to ask stupid questions!

<font color=>Gou ：He hung up… <font color=>Nagisa ：Well, I don’t think Rin-chan knew the answer anyway. <font color=>Makoto ：It’s no use, I give up. <font color=>Rei ：What happened between you two? <font color=>Gou ：Stop leaving us hanging and tell us! <font color=>Nagisa ：Hehe. Then I’ll tell you. While I was in grades 1 to 3 of elementary school, I was often bullied a lot because of my name.

— <font color=>Class ：Hey, boy-girl! <font color=>Nagisa ：No, I’m a boy! <font color=>Class ：Then why do you have a girly name like Nagisa? I saw you wearing a skirt the other day! <font color=>Nagisa ：That’s because my sister made me… <font color=>Class ：Nagisa’s crying again! He’s a crybaby girl!

— <font color=>Nagisa ：Because of that, my dad told me to get stronger, so I joined the swimming school. That’s where I met Haru-chan.

— <font color=>Nagisa ：Ah, I just joined today. I’m Hazuki Nagisa. Pleased to meet you. <font color=>Haruka ：I’m Nanase… Haruka. <font color=>Nagisa ：Nanase-kun, your name is Haruka? You’re just like me! You have a girl’s name! <font color=>Haruka ：… <font color=>Nagisa ：Ah… I’m sorry… <font color=>Haruka ：Don’t apologize. <font color=>Nagisa ：Um, I get bullied a lot because of my name. Even at home, my sisters make me wear girl clothes and put make-up on me and– <font color=>Haruka ：Just get changed. <font color=>Nagisa ：Sorry… <font color=>Haruka ：I told you, you don’t have to keep apologizing. [Nagisa unzips his bag] <font color=>Nagisa ：Ahhh! <font color=>Haruka ：What’s wrong? <font color=>Nagisa ：My swimsuit… there’s a girl’s swimsuit in my bag… This is my sister’s… That’s so mean… They did it on purpose, I just know it… Now I can’t swim… I hate swimming! [cries] <font color=>Haruka ：You can really hate swimming over something like that? <font color=>Nagisa ：Eh? <font color=>Haruka ：If you don’t like that swimsuit, you can wear mine. <font color=>Nagisa ：But… then what will you do, Nanase-kun? <font color=>Haruka ：[picks up girl's swimsuit] I’ll wear this instead. <font color=>Nagisa ：Eh?! <font color=>Haruka ：Being a girl or a boy doesn’t matter when you’re in the water. What you wear doesn’t matter. As long as I can swim… as long as I can feel the water… that’s all that matters.

— <font color=>Rei ：Haruka-senpai… wore a girl’s swimsuit? <font color=>Makoto ：I had no idea! Was I absent that day? <font color=>Gou ：That really doesn’t make any sense… <font color=>Rei ：It certainly is a sensational truth… <font color=>Nagisa ：The other kids and I were really surprised, but Haru-chan wasn’t embarrassed by it at all and he wore it without hiding himself… He was really cool! When I saw him, I felt that everything that was troubling me really wasn’t that important after all. <font color=>Makoto ：But… that was cool? <font color=>Nagisa ：It was definitely cool! Even while wearing that, Haru-chan’s swimming was really pretty and it made me think that I wanted to be strong like him. I wanted to swim freely like he does. <font color=>All three ：Hehh… <font color=>Rei ：It was a rather strange story but… I can kind of understand how you feel… <font color=>Nagisa ：Right?! <font color=>Gou ：I don’t think I share the same feeling… <font color=>Makoto ：[laughs] <font color=>Haruka ：[walks up] Guys, are you still talking? <font color=>Rei ：Haruka-senpai! <font color=>Gou ：No! I’m imagining now what he just said! <font color=>Haruka ：“What he just said”? <font color=>Makoto ：It’s nothing, Haru! C’mon guys, let’s go practice too. Get changing. <font color=>Nagisa ：Yeah, you’re right. [unzips his bag] Ahhh! <font color=>Rei ：What’s wrong, Nagisa-kun? <font color=>Nagisa ：This is my sister’s swimsuit! <font color=>Makoto ：Again?! <font color=>Nagisa ：She did it on purpose, I know she did! Even when I’m in high school, she still plays these tricks on me! That’s so mean! <font color=>Haruka ：I’ll lend you mine. <font color=>Nagisa ：Haru-chan… <font color=>Rei ：Haruka-senpai…? <font color=>Makoto ：Wait, then what will you do, Haru? <font color=>Rei ：Don’t do it! It’s just a really bad thing to do! <font color=>Gou ：But I kind of want to see it! But I’m scared to see it! But I want to see it! Which is it?!!! What do I do?!!! <font color=>Haruka ：What are you guys talking about? I have an extra one, so he can borrow that one. <font color=>Rei /<font color=>Makoto ：Eh?

<font color=>Nagisa ：Thanks, Haru-chan! <font color=>Haruka ：I don’t want to hear you saying again that you hate swimming. <font color=>Nagisa ：…You DO remember! Haru-chan! <font color=>Haruka ：Stop, Nagisa! Don’t hug me! Watch out! <font color=>Nagisa ：Haru-chan! I love you!
