**Summertime Re-Rendering** (Summertime re-rendering) is the 24th episode of the Summer Time Rendering anime.

## Synopsis

The group realizes the only way to win against Shide is with Ushio's hacking abilities. A fierce battle starts against Shide and Shinpei, Ryunosuke and Ushio fight to protect each other. As Ushio needs two minutes to complete her hacking preparations, the other two try to survive against Shide, time which feels like eternity.

## Summary

Ushio unconscious and Shinpei captures her. Haine explains that she can't recover fully from the strand of hair and that's why she is reverting into a kid form. She mind and muscle are torn up and Ushio can no longer fight. Shinpei wonders if Ryunosuke can take over Shide's armor, but then states its too risky. Ushio awakens and talks to them telepathy, and states she can print hacking shells for the shotgun, but it will take two minutes to print and they need to survive until then.

Shide realizes they are forming a plan, but Heine explains he can't hear them or transform. He didn't expect Heine to betray him, but she states he changed. Shide denies that he changed, and states he was enlighten and now follows his own desire to survive. Shide then attacks, ignoring that Shinpei is shooting at him, as the bullets do nothing to him. As he aims for Ushio, Shinpei asks her to switch weapons and she gives him Hizuru's sledgehammer and he hits Shide with him and stops him. Shide forces Hiruko to print him an old gun, however as he can't shoot with two right hands, he shifts one of them to become a left arm. As they fight, Shide attempts to attack Ushio. To stop him, Ryunosuke overdoes it and punches Shide, breaking Shinpei's fingers, but pushing Shide away from Ushio. Shide then shoots at them and Ryunosuke dodges, however the bullet then turns into Shide and from behind, he cuts Shinpei's left arm. They continue to dodge Shide's attack, but barely and still get slight injuries. Ryunosuke no longer believes they can even shoot the shotgun, even if Ushio prints the shells. Shinpei encourages him and states he will shoot. He asks Ryunosuke if he can take control over Shide for a moment and make him stop, about ten seconds before Ushio prints the shells. Ryunosuke agrees, but states he need to make contact.

As they fight, Ryunosuke still manages to dodge Shide's attacks and eventually touches him and takes control over the armor. Without Ryunosuke, Shinpei almost passes out as he now feels all the pain that Ryunosuke was suppressing. Ushio prepares the shotgun, but in that moment, Shide isolates Ryunosuke to a piece of mud and throws him away, regaining control of his armor. Shide explains that in one of the loops at the battle on the beach, Hizuru tried doing the same thing, but Shinpei didn't knew about it as he restarted the loop, and knowing what they are trying to do, was easy for Shide to counter them. Shinpei is a few steps from the shotgun, but he starts to disintegrate. He still tells Shide that he won't be having Ushio's eye as the fact that he still has the eye right now, means that she do gives it to him eventually. Shide states he just wants to live and had lived for 326 years by swapping bodies. However, as Haine weakened, he feared he lives his last live with Masahito's body. However, few months ago he decided that if he can't live to see the world until its end, he will then end it himself.

Ushio manages to print herself as shells for the shotgun and tells Shinpei she is ready. He then runs towards it, and Shide attacks him. Shide is faster is about to reach Shinpei before he reaches the shotgun, however, Heine manages to move the shotgun towards Shinpei and he grabs it. He then manages to dodge Shide and shoots him. As he gets erased, Shide in the real world panics as he is too old to move or see without the armor. Ushio turns to normal and takes Hiruko, who is in pain. She tells her she will erase her pain and as she starts erasing her, all are suddenly transferred on Hitogashima. Haine realizes this is the human world, but 300 years ago and are there just as data. They see a whale on the beach and the human Haine approaching it. Ryunosuke realizes that Hiruko is trying to transfer her data into her past self and start all over again. Ryunosuke tries to stop the girl Haine, but he goes past her. Shinpei then grabs her hand and tells her to not approach the god, which causes Haine to panic as she thinks she is seeing a ghost and runs away. Ryunosuke figures that its because of his awakened eye that he can touch and change the past.

Hiruko still tries to reach for the whale. Ushio then gives Hiruko to Shinpei and goes to the whale. She explains she understand it now and the Hiruko is telling her she needs to erase the whale Hiruko or things will still play out exactly the same. Hiruko didn't want to try again as Ryunosuke stated, but to end it all, which is why she brought Ushio here. Hiruko cries, but as Ushio erases the whale, she calms down and disappears. Haine also starts to disappear and thanks them. She asks Ryunosuke if she is reborn if they can become friends and Ryunosuke agrees and the two disappear.

Ushio is the next to disappear. Shinpei states he wants to go with her. All the shadows will disappear, along with his eye. If he returns to his body, he will likely die and prefers to just disappear with Ushio. However, Ushio refuses and states she will return him safely as everyone is waiting for him. The past few days where full of frights and worries, but Ushio was happy to be with Shinpei. Shinpei then states the same, but as he says it, Ushio disappears.

Before completely disappears, Ushio explains she figured out how to transcend time. With this power, she decides to overcome the loops and redraw the summer. She then leaves the message on the phone and takes Shinpei to the boat when he arrived at Hitogashima, telling him to find her. Shinpei then wakes up, bumping into Hizuru at the boat.
