The Rampage of Haruhi Suzumiya Read Online Free PDF

my cell phone half-asleep, only to hear, “…Moan (sniff) …groan (sob) …”
    The sound of a girl crying. It sent shivers down my spine. I instantly woke up. This is bad. I just heard something I wasn’t supposed to.
    A second before I was about to toss the phone down—
    “Kyon…”
    I was able to recognize Asahina’s voice through the sobbing.



“Hello, Asahina?”
    Don’t tell me that she’s calling to say good-bye forever. This better not be anything like the famous folktale of Princess Kaguya going back to the moon. I realized that the “present time” was only a temporary residence for her. I understood that she would eventually have to return to the future. Had the time come? I won’t accept a farewell over the phone.
    However, the lovely lady on the other end of the phone continued.
    “I…ah, something terrible has… sob … hic … at this rate…I, waahhh…”
    She was making about as much sense as a grade-schooler with her words all slurred together. I was wondering what I was supposed to do when—
    “Why hello. This is Koizumi.”
    The cheerful voice of a damn man took over.
    What? Why are they together at this late hour? Why am I not there? Your head will be separated from your body in five seconds, Koizumi, if you don’t appease me with an answer I can accept.
    “We have a bit of a situation on our hands. A particularly difficult one, which was why Asahina contacted me.”
    Before contacting me? I’m not very happy about that.
    “There wouldn’t have been any point in consulting you…no, excuse me. In fact, I was also unable to provide any help. A perilous predicament.”
    I scratched my head furiously.
    “Is Haruhi on the verge of ending the world again?”
    “Technically, no. In fact, it would be the exact opposite. As things stand at the moment, the world can never end.”
    Huh? Am I still dreaming? What is this guy talking about?
    Koizumi sensed my confusion and continued.
    “I already contacted Nagato. As expected, she was already aware of the situation. The details will become clear if we ask Nagato. Which is why I must ask, would it be possible for us to meet up right now? Minus Suzumiya, naturally.”
    Of course it’d be possible. Any person capable of abandoning a weeping Asahina would deserve to be sliced up seven times and more.
    “I’ll be right there. Where are you?”
    Koizumi told me his location. In front of the usual station. The SOS Brigade’s official meeting place.
       
    And so I got changed, sneaked through the hallway of my house, and took off on my bicycle to find three shadowy figures waiting upon my arrival. The streets weren’t completely deserted, as I’d spotted a few students here and there. As a result, we were able to blend in with the crowd of fools with nowhere to go on a summer night and conduct our dubious meeting without any worries. Though I was definitely starting to nod off.
    Asahina, dressed in pastels, was crouching in front of the station with a disheveled Koizumi and Nagato in a sailor uniform flanking her like a pair of decorative pine trees. Asahina must have thrown on whatever was handy because her clothes didn’t match at all. She must have been in a real panic or pressed for time.
    The tallest of them apparently noticed me, as he waved me over.
    “So what’s going on?”
    The faint glow from the lamppost illuminated the soft expression on Koizumi’s face.
    “I apologize for calling you out at such a late hour. However, Asahina is rather distraught, as you can see.”
    Asahina was squatting down and sobbing like a melting snowman. She looked up at me with a tearful face and dry eyes. Eyes so captivating that I was on the verge of throwing away everything to help her out.
    “Wah, Kyon, I…” Asahina sniffed before murmuring to herself.
    “I can no longer return to the future…”
     
    “Allow me to summarize. Basically, we are stuck in an infinite time loop.”
    Hard to believe something so ludicrous when you have a
