This third volume in the Haruhi Suzumiya series is a collection of four short stories that chronologically take place before The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya. In her latest attempt to give the S.O.S. Brigade more public exposure, Haruhi signs the group up for the city-wide baseball tournament. Then, to prevent an impending disaster, Mikuru takes Kyon back in time, where he meets Haruhi as a seventh grader. The Computer club president at school mysteriously disappears and it's up the S.O.S. Brigade to get to the bottom of it!
