Both: "Akarin!" Yui: "H-Hey..." Akari: "Yui-chan! Why?" Yui: "Sorry... Kyoko told me to wear this and do the intro..." Akari: "Kyoko-chan!" Kyoko: "Just this once!" Akari: "Sheesh!" Kyoko: "Keep going, Yui." Yui: "Yuru Yuri's... start... start... I can't do something this embarrassing!" Akari: "You think it's embarrassing?" Kyoko: "So hot..." Kyoko: "I haven't used the AC yet this summer..." Kyoko: "But today is brutal..." Kyoko: "I can't take it..." Kyoko: "I give up..." Kyoko: "No! Not yet!" Kyoko: "I'll bear with it until I think I might pass out." Kyoko: "I'll freshen up with a shower before turning on the AC! That way, the AC will feel even more..." Kyoko: "Even more..." Kyoko: "That's it." Kyoko: "Shower, shower." Kyoko: "I feel refreshed." Kyoko: "Time for this year's first use of the AC." Kyoko: "What?" Kyoko: "So cool." Mom: "What're you doing?" Kyoko: "There are no batteries in the remote," Momo: "Didn't you remove the remote's batteries" Kyoko: "Guess I'll have to go buy some." Yui: "How did you wind up in front of my AC?" Kyoko: "What're you making?" Yui: "Curry." Kyoko: "What? I just had curry yesterday." Yui: "You're just assuming you'll get some?!" Kyoko: "It's delicious!" Kyoko: "You put sausage in your curry instead of meat, huh?" Yui: "Sausage is cheaper and keeps longer." Kyoko: "I think I might like this more than beef curry." Yui: "Really?" Kyoko: "Yui-san, I want to eat your curry everyday." Cm: "Namo Quest II, coming soon!" Yui: "They're making a sequel." Kyoko: "All right! Now that I'm full, it's time to buy some batteries!" Yui: "Why did you come here?" Kyoko: "Fans are great, too." Chinatsu: "What are you doing in my house?" Kyoko: "I was on my way to the store to buy batteries," Kyoko: "Since I was around, I thought I'd drop by." Chinatsu: "You went to Yui-senpai's house?" Chinatsu: "You should have invited me. Wait, you'd have to have walked right past" Kyoko: "Now, now..." Kyoko: "I'm off to buy batteries!" Chinatsu: "Senpai, why did you come here?" Kyoko: "So cool." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, thanks for waiting." Kyoko: "This warabi mochi is tasty!" Kyoko: "You really know how to make someone feel at home, Akari." Akari: "You think so?" Kyoko: "Akari, how much of your homework have you got done?" Akari: "A little more than half, I think? What about you, Kyoko-chan?" Kyoko: "You sure you want the answer?" Akari: "That's not good." Kyoko: "Well, the thing is..." Kyoko: "I forgot my homework at school, so I can't do it." Akari: "Why don't you just go get it?" Akari: "I'm gonna air out the room, okay?" Kyoko: "Sure." Akari: "It might get a little warm in here..." Akari: "What?" Kyoko: "A cicada!" Akari: "Kyoko-chan, do something. I can't touch cicadas." Kyoko: "Okay! Leave it to me!" Akari: "What? Wait! Anything but that!" Akari: "Help!" Kyoko: "Well done, Akari! Hold still!" Kyoko: "Take care!" Kyoko: "What a walk." Kyoko: "It's so hot out." Kyoko: "I'll have to shower again when I get home." Kyoko: "Okay!" Kyoko: "Remote! Batteries!" Kyoko: "All right, set up!" Akari: "What?" Akari: "It's so hot." Akari: "I can't believe I missed the train..." Yui: "Akari, hurry!" Akari: "What?" Akari: "Wait!" Akari: "Wait, everyone!" Akari: "Kyoko-chan!" Akari: "Kyoko-chan!" Akari: "Kyoko-chan!" Akari: "I was looking forward to swimming with everyone..." Akari: "Let's see..." Akari: "The next train is at..." Akari: "That's a long wait." Akari: "I guess it can't be helped... What should I do while I wait?" Akari: "It's from Chinatsu-chan. They look like they're having fun. If the wind hadn't blown away my pool coupon," Akari: "The wind is so naughty sometimes." Akari: "I should send a reply." Akari: "Huh? Not quite..." Akari: "Maybe this?" Akari: "Yay! That's a good one! Let's see... "I'll catch up later." "Wait for me." There!" Akari: "I'm so thirsty..." Akari: "Let's see..." Akari: "I'm too young for that." Akari: "I'll just get a Fanti Orange." Akari: "What?" Akari: "Why? Whoever manages this vending machine," Akari: "What am I gonna do? Maybe I'll have Yui-chan drink it... Yui-chan's lucky. Drinking black coffee? She's so mature..." Akari: "Maybe some day, I'll be able to..." Akari: "This always wakes me up. I hope I'll say that while studying for exams someday." Akari: "Fanti Orange is delicious." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, a mosquito! Oh, she's not here!" Akari: "Help me!" Akari: "I guess it left..." Akari: "That mosquito scared me." Akari: "Maybe I'll close the windows so it can't come back in." Akari: "But it'll get hot if I close them..." Akari: "Jumping around like that made me sweaty. I feel even hotter since I'm wearing my swimsuit under this..." Akari: "If I'd known this would happen, I'd have worn underwear instead..." Akari: "But I bet it'll feel even better when I'm finally in the pool. It'll feel so cool. I'm so excited." Akari: "It's Kyoko-chan." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, you're so funny. What should I do?" Akari: "Yeah." Akari: "It doesn't have enough impact..." Akari: "How about this?" Akari: "Not quite..." Akari: "I guess this will do. "I won't lose to you!"" Akari: "Don't suck my blood! My blood doesn't even taste good! Well, you can suck my blood, but don't make me itchy! Oh, I have some bug spray!" Akari: "I'm glad I borrowed some from my sister." Akari: "Now I'm invincible." Akari: "I'm hungry... I overslept, so I didn't have much to eat." Akari: "Hooray, chocolate." Akari: "Maybe I'll have some potato chips." Akari: "Lightly salted. I love lightly salted chips!" Akari: "They're so good." Akari: "It's Yui-chan." Akari: "That looks delicious. Yui-chan made lunch for everyone." Akari: "Yui-chan's such a good cook. I can't wait to have some!" Akari: "But I didn't bring anything... Um, let's see... I know!" Akari: "I ate a few, but I'll bring these snacks." Akari: "And this coffee!" Akari: "It's Himawari-chan." Akari: "Everyone's already at the pool!" Akari: "If I had super powers, I'd warp and catch up with them." Akari: "Warp! Warp! Just kidding." Akari: "I wanna go on the water slide. I always go with my sister..." Akari: "It'll be my first time going by myself." Akari: "I'm so nervous. If I get scared, I'll have someone go with me. Don't they have a lazy river, too? I wanna just float away." Akari: "It's Kyoko-chan!" Akari: "Ikeda-senpai's nose is bleeding! Is she okay? Is she okay? Someone has tissues, right?" Akari: "It's not stopping!" Akari: "Huh? What?" Akari: "Kyoko-chan! I don't need the play-by-play! Someone help her!" Yui: "Yeah, I'm okay. I'm resting." Yui: "Thanks, Mom." Yui: "Bye." Yui: "I feel all right, though... I've just got a slight fever..." Yui: "I'll just sleep." Yui: "What level did I get to yesterday? I wanna get everyone in my party up three levels." Yui: "I need to get the best equipment at the weapon shop, too." Yui: "Kyoko, finish him!" Kyoko: "Got it!" Kyoko: "There!" Slime: "Yuri?" Kyoko: "Don't worry, I used the back of my sword." Yui: "Just kill it!" Yui: "He's attacking! Be careful!" Akari: "Huh? What?" Akari: "Akarin!" Slime: "Huh? What's going on?" Chinatsu: "I'll finish it! Black thunder!" Slime: "Yuri!" Yui: "You got him! There's only one left!" Akari: "Stop, everyone! I feel bad for our enemies!" Yui: "What're you doing?" Akari: "Akarin!" Kyoko: "Kyokorin!" Yui: "Darn it, Kyoko..." Yui: "My fever's gone down..." Yui: "Oh. It's just Kyoko." Kyoko: "How's your cold?" Yui: "My fever's gone down. Wait, how did you know?" Kyoko: "Our moms were talking on the phone this morning. I thought you might be lonely since you're sick and all alone... Want some udon?" Yui: "Sure...but take that mask off." Yui: "Once in a blue moon, you're actually considerate, Kyoko." Kyoko: "Say what you want, but I've got pajamas!" Yui: "You're sleeping over? You might get sick, too." Kyoko: "What? Who cares?" Kyoko: "I know you were lonely..." Yui: "No, I wasn't..." Kyoko: "So, when do you want the udon?" Yui: "Maybe a little later..." Yui: "Fine. Now." Yui: "It's good." Kyoko: "How many stars?" Yui: "Two, I guess. Minus one because you're noisy." Kyoko: "You're so harsh." Yui: "Kyoko..." Yui: "There's some rum raisin in the fridge..." Yui: "Thanks." Kyoko: "If there's anything you want, just ask." Yui: "You're so thoughtful." Kyoko: "Mind if I keep playing that game from the other day?" Yui: "No, don't worry about me. They're still low level, though." Kyoko: "I got it! You just rest!" Yui: "Their levels really are low... She'll have to wander around this area" Yui: "You're going to fight the boss already?" Kyoko: "At this level, I should be able to scrape by!" Kyoko: "I died!" Yui: "Give me that!" Kyoko: "You're an energetic sick person." Sakurako: "Himawari! Play with me!" Sakurako: "Himawari, you're here, right? Sakurako-sama is willing to play with you! Hey! I hope your boobs explode, you booby monster!" Sakurako: "She's not answering. I guess she really isn't home..." Kaede: "Sakurako onee-chan?" Sakurako: "Oh, Kaede..." Kaede: "My sister's out shopping." Sakurako: "What?" Kaede: "Do you hate boobs, Sakurako onee-chan?" Sakurako: "No... Not really..." Kaede: "Oh, right. You still don't—" Sakurako: "What? I mean, I "still don't" what?" Kaede: "Your big sister doesn't have boobs, either... so you'll probably stay the same." Kaede: "But when I grow up, I'll share my boobs with you. So cheer up." Sakurako: "Thanks." Sakurako: "You're a good girl." Himawari: "Sakurako." Sakurako: "Himawari, you're late! Your boobs weigh ya down! Cut 'em off!" Himawari: "What?" Himawari: "So where are we going?" Sakurako: "Good question!" Himawari: "You didn't even plan that far ahead..." Sakurako: "I was bored!" Sakurako: "It's Akari-chan." Sakurako: "Okay, let's follow her!" Himawari: "What?" Sakurako: "She's buying something." Himawari: "Black coffee!" Sakurako: "Akari-chan likes that?" Akari: "It's so bitter..." Sakurako: "Don't force yourself." Akari: "Yay!" Akari: "Oh, a pigeon. Here you go. Eat up." Himawari: "What're you doing?" Sakurako: "Sorry, I couldn't help it..." Himawari: "Akaza-san is still sleeping..." Sakurako: "This is bad!" Sakurako: "I'll save her!" Himawari: "You better apologize to her tomorrow!" Sakurako: "Okay. I'm tired. I'm sleeping over. I want Wagyu steak for dinner." Himawari: "You live next door. Go home!" Sakurako: "Sushi's fine too!" Himawari: "Go home!" Kaede: "Onee-chan..." Kaede: "I made some tea." Himawari: "Thank you, Kaede." Sakurako: "You're such a good girl, Kaede. Not like my little sister..." Kaede: "I brought milk for you, Sakurako onee-chan." Sakurako: "What?" Kaede: "I thought it might make your boobs bigger. You want your boobs to get bigger, don't you?" Sakurako: "What a nice little sister..." Himawari: "Thank you." Akari: "Why? I don't taste good!" Yui: "I'm your mind-over-matter protagonist, Funami Yui. This preview protagonist series is" Yui: "Next, we'll be going to Tokyo for the first time in a year." Yui: "I never know what souvenirs to get in Tokyo."

Both: "Mirakurun!" Mirakurun: "Hey!" Mirakurun: ""Witch Girl Mirakurun" is starting!" Akari: "What?" Mirakurun: "Shut up!" Akari: "Whoa! Mirakurun cast a spell on me!" Mirakurun: "Go buy some yakisoba bread!" Akari: "Okay!" Kurumi: "There!" Kurimi: "Raika-chan, go!" Raika: "Okay!" Kurumi: "Isn't dodgeball fun, Raika-chan?" Raika: "K-Kurumi-chan... You're great at sports. I'm not nearly as good as you..." Kurumi: "It's okay! Let's give it everything we've got!" Raika: "Here's the ball..." Kurumi: "This time, I'm gonna throw it hard! There! Huh?" Kurumi: "The ball disappeared... That's weird." Kurumi: "We don't have extras..." Girl A: "Sensei, the balls disappeared." Girl B: "We can't play dodgeball now." Kurumi: "What's going on? I can't believe all the balls are gone..." Kurumi: "This must be the work of Team Giga Giga!" Ganbo: "Feast your eyes, Rivalrun!" Rivalrun: "This is..." Ganbo: "This is the rebellion of the balls who have been" Rivalrun: "What is the meaning of this, Ganbo-sama?" Ganbo: "Without balls, they cannot play ball sports. Humans, who live to play ball sports, will panic." Rivalrun: "I see. Team Giga Giga will take advantage" Ganbo: "Today will be a great victory for Team Giga Giga!" Kurumi: "So it is Team Giga Giga! They won't get away with this! Shine, miraculous—" Mirakurun: "It's a pain to animate my transformation," Mirakurun: "Witch of love and justice, Mirakurun, has arrived!" Mirakurun: "I'll beat the crap out of bad kids who do naughty things!" Rivalrun: "What are you doing here?" Ganbo: "How did you find our secret base?" Mirakurun: "I just saw it while walking down the street!" Rivalrun: "I can't believe your luck!" Ganbo: "But you're too late. The world's balls have already become your enemies! Go, balls! Defeat Mirakurun!" Mirakurun: "Balls, stop!" Rivalrun: "Feel the balls' hatred for humans, Mirakurun!" Rivalrun: "Ganbo-sama, don't you think this is a bit much?" Ganbo: "You think so? Enough, stop!" Ganbo: "We did it! We've finally defeated Mirakurun..." Ganbo: "This is just a doll!" Mirakurun: "It's my Mirakurun Magic Decoy." Ganbo: "You can't have unlimited powers!" Mirakurun: "Mirakurun Super Hammer!" Mirakurun: "How terrible... All the balls are hurt..." Rivalrun: "You're the one who hurt them!" Mirakurun: "I can hear the voices of the balls. You just wanted to rest a while, didn't you? But then Team Giga Giga took advantage of you..." Rivalrun: "Are you even listening?!" Mirakurun: "But it's okay now!" Rivalrun: "Don't just chuck 'em!" Mirakurun: "Mirakurun Five-Day Work Week Flash!" Voice: "Thank you, Mirakurun! We'll be sure to let the balls take breaks from now on!" Rivalrun: "She looks so proud of herself." Ganbo: "Don't think you can let your guard down..." Mirakurun: "Huh?" Ganbo: "Humans will suffer, as they will be unable..." Ganbo: "Someday you will make the same mistake!" Mirakurun: "But..." Ganbo: "If only you had something to replace the balls with." Ganbo: "What?" Mirakurun: "Our first bowling tournament!" Rivalrun: "Mirakurun! Today will be your last!" Mirakurun: "I will stop you! Justice never loses!" Mirakurun: "Here I go!" Mirakurun: "There!" Mirakurun: "Yes!" Rivalrun: "Not bad." Ganbo: "Wait, Rivalrun! Don't tell me you..." Rivalrun: "There!" Ganbo: "Are they just letting the balls rest" Ganbo: "Rivalrun, I'm talking about you!" Akari: "Um..." Chinatsu: "What is this?" Kyoko: "My doujin circle's latest work — a Mirakurun anime!" Kyoko: "It's that time of year again! The Comic Extreme Market!" Kyoko: "It's been a year since the last summer market." Chinatsu: "This is pretty amazing, Akari-chan..." Akari: "Yeah... I knew Kyoko-chan's hobby was making fan works," Yui: "It's nothing to be afraid of. Well, Ayano was nervous at first, too." Chinatsu: "Sugiura-senpai has come here before, too?" Yui: "Yeah. Chitose also joined us" Yui: "It was terrible." Akari: "Did something happen?" Yui: "Okay, so get this." Chinatsu: "You're terrible, Kyoko-senpai..." Kyoko: "That's what you call the excitement of summer." Yui: "We didn't want to bother Ayano again," Ayano: "Come at me any time, Toshino Kyoko!" Ayano: "I'm Banglaready for you! I already looked up the Comuket dates," Akari: "So you replaced them with me and Chinatsu-chan?" Kyoko: "No one could replace you, Chinatsu-chan!" Chinatsu: "I don't really care about that..." Akari: "Wait, what about me?" Kyoko: "I had you two come along" Akari: "Power up?" Kyoko: "I wanted you two to experience" Yui: "Stop trying to lure them" Yui: "And don't count on my help, either! I've had enough of drawing frame after frame for eternity." Akari: "But you're amazing, Kyoko-chan." Kyoko: "Well, yeah. Directing, script, production, art, and voices! I did it all myself! Just like this!" Ganbo: "Chinatsu-chan, I'm going to kiss you!" Kyoko: "How was that?" Akari: "It sounded just like the real thing!" Chinatsu: "Why can't you put your talents" Girl: "Hello, Ramuko-san." Kyoko: "Oh, you came again!" Kyoko: "I've got a new volume. Check it out, check it out!" Girl: "Whoa! It's a Mirakurun anime!" Kyoko: "I wanted to make something like a spin-off" Girl: "Isn't that the story from your previous doujinshi" Kyoko: "Yeah, that's the one." Girl: "I'll write you again." Kyoko: "I look forward to it." Woman: "Ramuko-san, it's great to see you again!" Kyoko: "Run-Run Kingdom's Yasucchi-san! How are you?" Woman: "Great, great!" Akari: "This feels like some strange new world..." Chinatsu: "I don't care to know more about it..." Yui: "I'm already used to it." Chitose: "I'm used to it, too." Yui: "You're amazing, Chitose... Wait, Chitose?" Both: "Ikeda-senpai?" Chitose: "Hey, everyone." Kyoko: "It's Chitose!" Yui: "What are you doing here?" Chitose: "After Toshino-san brought me last year," Chitose: "So I came here myself." Yui: "Oh, right... You fit right in even though it was" Chitose: "I need to stock up on ideas" Yui: "I see... Just make sure you don't take off your glasses." Chitose: "Well then, see you later!" Kyoko: "I knew this would happen. Akari, Chinatsu-chan," Ayano: "I wonder when Toshino Kyoko is going to call..." Kyoko: "Cosplay time! I've been waiting for this... The time when I finally get to see Chinachu cosplay Mirakurun at Comuket, the holy land of cosplay!" Chinatsu: "What're you rambling about, Kyoko-senpai? And don't call me Chinachu." Yui: "You're pretty energetic for it being so hot." Kyoko: "Hey! Why do you two look so bored?" Chinatsu: "Well, I've cosplayed Mirakurun so many times" Yui: "I'm wearing the same cosplay as last summer, too." Kyoko: "What happened to the amusement club's promise" Yui: "We never promised that." Akari: "Thanks for waiting, everyone." Akari: "It's kind of hard to walk in this cosplay." All: "So they are removable..." Eri: "It's the real Mirakurun!" Eri: "Look, Mom! Look, look!" Mom: "You're right. She looks just like her." Eri: "No, she's the real thing!" Yui: "Someone's calling you, Mirakurun." Chinatsu: "But Yui-senpai..." Eri: "Mirakurun!" Chinatsu: "Oh, right! This is my chance to show Yui-senpai my good side!" Chinatsu: "Witch of love and justice Mirakurun..." Chinatsu: "...mad deprived!" Chinatsu: "Huh?" Chinatsu: "I got the line wrong..." Mom: "Eri-chan! I think Mirakurun must be tired from fighting Team Giga Giga. Come on, let's go!" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai!" Chinatsu: "I messed up! It's Kyoko-senpai's fault for teaching me the wrong line!" Kyoko: "It's my fault?" Yui: "Don't worry about it, Chinatsu-chan." Yui: "I'm sure you'll get it right next time." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai..." Chinatsu: "Leave it to me! Come on, children! I don't care how many of you there are!" Yui: "Okay..." Yui: "Huh?" Chinatsu: "No more. I'm exhausted." Akari: "Me too... Kyoko-chan and Yui-chan still seem" Kyoko: "I still haven't seen everyone yet," Yui: "You two must be tired. I'll get us something to drink, so you guys rest." Akari: "As members of the amusement club" Chinatsu: "What's so amusing about this? I only said yes because Kyoko-senpai asked if" Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, my back itches. Scratch it?" Akari: "I can't like this." Chinatsu: "I guess it can't be helped, then..." Chinatsu: "I can use this!" Chinatsu: "That feels good." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, that's not very Mirakurun-like." Chinatsu: "I don't care." Chinatsu: "I want to take this off soon." Eri: "Life is bitter, Mom." Mom: "Yes, dear." Ayano: "That's odd." Ayano: "I'm sure Comuket was today." Ayano: "Hello?" Kyoko: "Hey, Ayano." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko... What could you possibly want at this hour?" Kyoko: "I'm at the station on my way back from Comuket," Kyoko: "Could you help me carry them?" Ayano: "What did you just say?" Kyoko: "I'm at the station. I bought too much at Comuket." Kyoko: "Ayano? Hey, are you there? Hey..." Chitose: "There there, Ayano-chan." Chinatsu: "Summer vacation's ending." Kyoko: "It went by so fast after Comuket." Yui: "Don't come over just to laze around... People who haven't been doing their" Kyoko: "Huh? Oh, yeah." Chinatsu: "I finished mine in July." Akari: "I'm finished, too." Yui: "I see. Good for you. The end of summer vacation..." Chinatsu: "I know what you mean. Even if you make plans, you end up being lazy..." Kyoko: "For times like these, I've made this! The Conversation Topic Box!" Chinatsu: "Where did that come from?" Kyoko: "Let's get started. Akari! Here, take a card!" Akari: "Really?" Akari: "How exciting." Kyoko: "Akari, you use "zamasu" when you talk!" Akari: "That's not a conversation topic!" Kyoko: "You're next, Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "Huh?" Chinatsu: "Oh, okay." Chinatsu: "Let's see... "Club Activities"? Hey, you actually put some normal topics in here." Akari: "Did you want to join" Yui: "Not particularly. The track team invited me to join them, though." Chinatsu: "Really?" Kyoko: "Yui's the fastest in our class." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, that's amazing!" Kyoko: "It's not that amazing..." Yui: "She's not talking to you." Akari: "We didn't want to join any other club, either." Chinatsu: "Yeah." Yui: "What happened to reviving the tea club?" Yui: "Kyoko was in the brass band our first year." Akari: "I didn't know that!" Kyoko: "I quit after a month." Yui: "She got an F in music." Kyoko: "I just don't get it!" Kyoko: "All right! I'm next! There!" Chinatsu: "Why are you so smug?" Kyoko: "The one we've been waiting for is here!" Akari: "They are?" Kyoko: "Lady Luck!" Yui: "Who?" Kyoko: "Yes!" Akari: "What're you so happy about?" Kyoko: "It's always hard to deal with that fortune." Yui: "Not nearly as hard as you." Kyoko: "You're next, Yui." Yui: "Okay, fine..." Yui: "What is this?" Kyoko: "I want pancakes." Kyoko: "Huh?" Akari: "I'll get something good this time... There!" Yui: "She barked." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, you're so good." Akari: "I wasn't barking!" Chinatsu: ""Talk sexy"..." Chinatsu: "Wait, sexy?" Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan has to be sexy!" Chinatsu: "I'm not doing this!" Kyoko: "Then I'll do it with you!" Yui: "What sort of game is this?" Chinatsu: "You're terrible... Why would you force me" All: "How sexy..." Kyoko: "I wanted you" Yui: "Do you have any shame?" Yui: "You don't have any decent topics in here." Kyoko: "You guys are just drawing all the weird ones." Yui: "This one seems reasonable. It's "blood type"." Akari: "Blood type?" Chinatsu: "Amazingly, we're all different types." Akari: "Oh no! If something happens," Chinatsu: "But type O's can give to anyone. It's because Yui-senpai's heart is wider than the ocean." Yui: "Pretty sure that's not the reason... Oh, but AB's are the opposite. They can receive from anyone." Chinatsu: "Really? You mean there's a chance Yui-senpai's" Kyoko: "Don't worry, Chinatsu-chan. If anything happens, you can have my—" Chinatsu: "No, thank you." Kyoko: "I don't like talking about blood types!" Yui: "Look closely. This is your handwriting." Kyoko: "Type B's get such a bad rap! People shouldn't assume I'm self centered" Yui: "It's never nice to assume, but they'd be right, in this case." Kyoko: "Don't flatter me!" Yui: "I'm not." Kyoko: "I love you!" Yui: "I don't lo—" Kyoko: "I'm stuffed." Akari: "We talked a lot today." Chinatsu: "Yeah. There were some weird topics, but it was pretty fun." Kyoko: "Wasn't it?" Kyoko: "Let's do this again soon." Yui: "This wasn't enough?" Kyoko: "Oh, and Akari." Akari: "What is it, Kyoko-chan?" Kyoko: "Why are you talking in that strange accent?" Akari: "Aren't you the one who wrote this?" Akari: "Well, we're going home. We had fun today." Chinatsu: "See you tomorrow!" Yui: "Yeah, see you tomorrow." Kyoko: "Tomorrow!" Yui: "Well, then..." Yui: "Why aren't you leaving?" Kyoko: "Homework..." Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "I was so busy with Comuket," Kyoko: "Help me! Let me copy your—" Yui: "Go home." Chitose: "It's your protagonist with a bloody nose, Ikeda Chitose. Thanks to all my new books," Chitose: "The next episode is all about sisters— Oh, no. My fantasies have already started..."

All: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey!" Akari: "Cameraman, what're you looking at? What? There's nothing there... No, wait—!" deshiko: "Sakurako." deshiko: "It's your turn to cook dinner. We'll be studying in here," Sakurako: "By which you mean I'm bothering you." Hanako: "We can't focus when you're around." Sakurako: "You too, Hanako?" deshiko: "Don't you have homework, Sakurako?" deshiko: "What? You don't even know?" Sakurako: "Dinner, huh?" Sakurako: "I want Camembert pizza." Hanako: "What? I wish you'd actually cook something." deshiko: "She's right." Sakurako: "What about curry?" deshiko: "Curry would be okay..." Hanako: "But not instant curry!" Sakurako: "Fine." deshiko: "Then it's decided. Hurry up and go." Sakurako: "But you know, being called a pest" Sakurako: "If you want me to go shopping," Hanako: "It's your turn to cook..." deshiko: "It's okay, Hanako." Sakurako: "What?" deshiko: "Please go somewhere else." Sakurako: "That doesn't make me feel any better!" Kaede: "Thanks for the food." Himawari: "I'm glad you liked it." Kaede: "I love your cooking." Himawari: "Really? I enjoy cooking for you, too." Kaede: "Are you busy today?" Himawari: "No, not really." Kaede: "I see..." Himawari: "Want to go out together?" Kaede: "Can we?" Himawari: "Where would you like to go?" Keade: "Um, uh..." Keade: "I'd be happy to go anywhere with you!" Himawari: "Yeah? Well, we can go anywhere you want." Keade: "Oh, then let's go buy bras for you." Himawari: "Why?" Keade: "They've grown again, haven't they?" Himawari: "Huh?" Keade: "Yesterday I saw you struggling to get dressed." Himawari: "That was just..." Keade: "Sakurako onee-chan told me to check every night." Sakurako: "We're having curry for dinner. Make it." Himawari: "What?" Chitose: "I don't think I'll be back until night." Chizuru: "Be careful crossing the street." Chitose: "Thanks. I'll see you later." Chizuru: "My sister is going to Sugiura-san's place today." Chizuru: "Good for you." Chitose: "Don't look at Toshino-san." Ayano: "Chitose..." Chizuru: "Nee-san's bed..." Chizuru: "She takes such beautiful notes..." Chizuru: "But there's blood from her nose here and there..." Kyoko: "Ayano." Ayano: "What do you want, Toshino Kyoko?" Chitose: "All I wish for is Ayano-chan's happiness... That's all..." Chizuru: "Poor Chitose!" Chizuru: "Yes. If Toshino Whatever would just go away..." Ayano: "Chitose, I'm sorry I never noticed before. Even though you're always so considerate of me..." Chitose: "It's okay, Ayano-chan. I supported you and Toshino-san," Ayano: "Chitose..." Ayano: "Let's stay together forever!" Chitose: "Okay." Ayano: "Over here, Chitose!" Chitose: "Wait for me, Ayano-chan!" Ayano: "We skipped school for this." Chitose: "You're surprisingly naughty, Ayano-chan." Ayano: "What?" Chitose: "I think it's cute." Chitose: "Surprise attacks aren't fair." Ayano: "Did I surprise you?" Chitose: "Sheesh, you want to do it here?" Chizuru: "Nee-san, be happy... She was so excited when" Chitose: "I became friends with a wonderful girl. Her name's Sugiura Ayano-chan. I think she's a bit shy. She was sitting by herself at her desk," Chitose: "She has such a cute smile!" Chizuru: "She seemed really happy then." Chizuru: "I guess I'll clean while she's out visiting Sugiura-san." Chizuru: "It's no use!" Chizuru: "I'm supposed to be cleaning, but I've drooled on everything!" Chizuru: "What should I do?" Chizuru: "I know! I'll just think about Toshino Whoever!" Chizuru: "That should do it. Now I'm annoyed," Kyoko: "Chizuru-chu-chu!" Chizuru: "I'm so angry!" Chizuru: "Prepare yourself!" Ayano: "We finally finished." Chitose: "Today's homework was difficult." Ayano: "Let's do our homework together again some time." Chitose: "What are you talking about, Ayano-chan? Next time you should invite Toshino-san instead of me." Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "I don't get this." Ayano: "Sheesh, Toshino Kyoko... You're supposed to substitute this in here and..." Ayano: "Sorry." Kyoko: "It's okay." Kyoko: "Ayano, can I substitute in my love?" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko, can you solve my cubic curve? It never seems to go straight..." Kyoko: "It's okay." Chitose: "Right?" Ayano: "What the...?" Chitose: "I'm home." Chitose: "Thanks for watching the house, Chizuru..." Chitose: "What's this?" Chitose: "She cleaned the room..." Chitose: "Thanks, Chizuru." Chitose: "But why is the room covered in photos of Toshino-san?" Kyoko: "Chizuru-chu-chu!" Chitose: "This is the best!" Mari: "You leveled up?" Yui: "Yeah." Mari: "Gonna level some more?" Yui: "The next boss is strong," Yui: "I don't really like adventuring." Mari: "They call people like onee-chan reliable. I hope I can be like her someday, but..." Mari: "Isn't this an adventure game?" Himawari: "It went up..." Himawari: "That can't be right." Himawari: "One more time..." Himawari: "I've really gained weight..." Himawari: "Why?" Himawari: "I haven't been binging on food... If anything, I've been trying to eat a balanced diet..." Himawari: "Thanks for the food." Kaede: "You're finished already?" Himawari: "I'm not really hungry." Kaede: "Okay..." Sakurako: "You gained weight?" Himawari: "Yes..." Sakurako: "You're a fatty." Sakurako: "So? How much did you gain?" Himawari: "Shut up! Just hold my feet." Sakurako: "What?" Himawari: "I'll get you a steak for lunch." Himawari: "I can't do any more..." Sakurako: "What? You only did ten." Sakurako: "You need to do it like this!" Himawari: "I know, but..." Sakurako: "Your body's too heavy?" Sakurako: "You gotta do that thing they do in manga." Akari: "You're quite skilled to make me take off my buns." Himawari: "Wouldn't she just disappear?" Sakurako: "Just take off your boobs like that." Himawari: "I'm sorry." Sakurako: "I borrowed this from my sister." Himawari: "Thank you." Sakurako: "Well, my sister..." Sakurako: "She uses it like that." Himawari: "So she's not really using it... Maybe like this..." Himawari: "Or this..." Himawari: "Or perhaps this?" Himawari: "I don't know, Sakurako..." Himawari: "You're just lying around!" Sakurako: "Enough already!" Himawari: "But it's so hot outside..." Sakurako: "If you sweat a bunch, you might lose weight." Himawari: "What?" Sakurako: "So... hot..." Sakurako: "Why do I have to do this, too?" Himawari: "I'm working up a good sweat." Sakurako: "Sheesh! I'm already skinny," Sakurako: "I don't care if you're fat!" Sakurako: "Go be a fatty by yourself!" Sakurako: "I'm turning on the AC!" Himawari: "I wonder what part of me is gaining weight." Sakurako: "Your boobs." Himawari: "Aside from my chest." Sakurako: "Nothing's really changed." Himawari: "Liar! I gained weight." Himawari: "It must be somewhere." Sakurako: "I don't know." Himawari: "Sakurako..." Himawari: "Please answer me seriously!" Sakurako: "You're bowing? Himawari, you're that worried about this?" Sakurako: "Fine, then..." Himawari: "What?" Sakurako: "If you say, "Help me, oh beautiful Sakurako-sama,"" Himawari: "Dinner's ready." Kaede: "Okay." Kaede: "You're not going to eat?" Himawari: "I'm on a diet." Himawari: "Anyway, try some of the boiled pumpkin. I'm sure it's delicious." Kaede: "Okay..." Himawari: "I'm so hungry, I can't sleep." Himawari: "Maybe I'll snack on some cookies..." Himawari: "No, I mustn't!" Himawari: "I'll have skipped dinner for nothing! I have to refrain" Sakurako: "What?" Sakurako: "She's still dieting?" Kaede: "My sister hasn't been eating. She'll get sick." Himawari: "I'm fine." Kaede: "Sakurako onee-chan?" Himawari: "What?" Sakurako: "How can you keep going on about this diet? Kaede's worried sick about you!" Kaede: "Onee-chan..." Himawari: "I'm sorry..." Sakurako: "I told you the other day you look the same." Himawari: "But..." Sakurako: "Your hips, legs, and arms haven't changed!" Kaede: "I agree. Onee-chan, you're skinny." Himawari: "But I gained some weight..." Kaede: "Maybe your breasts got bigger again." Both: "What?" Kaede: "You've started wearing bigger bras..." Himawari: "I'll try measuring myself." Himawari: "They have gotten bigger. My waist hasn't changed." Kaede: "That's great." Himawari: "But I feel conflicted now..." Kaede: "I don't think you need to worry. You have a nice, slim body." Himawari: "You think so? Thank you." Tomoko: "Akanen." Akane: "Hey. Gachi Yuri's starting." Tomoko: "The sun feels great." Chinatsu: "Yeah, it's so warm." Tomoko: "Are you having fun at school, Chinatsu?" Chinatsu: "Yes! I love one of my upperclassmen." Tomoko: "Wow! She must be a lovely person." Chinatsu: "Yeah!" Tomoko: "By the way, Chinatsu..." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan?" Tomoko: "Yes. What's she like?" Chinatsu: "A good girl, I guess." Tomoko: "I see. If you say so, then she must be a good girl." Chinatsu: "What?" Tomoko: "N-Nothing." Tomoko: "I'm just a little jealous of her... Her wonderful sister sends her off to school, her wonderful sister helps her study, her wonderful sister reads with her, her wonderful sister listens to music with her, her wonderful sister plays games with her, her wonderful sister has afternoon tea with her, her wonderful sister washes her back," Tomoko: "Living with such a wonderful sister" Tomoko: "That's what I think." Chinatsu: "Isn't Akari-chan's sister your friend?" Chinatsu: "Onee-chan, do you..." Chinatsu: "...wish you were her little sister?" Tomoko: "Phew." Chinatsu: "By the way, what is Akari-chan's sister like?" Tomoko: "She's such a wonderful person... She's always smiling, she's very nice," Chinatsu: "I see... She sounds like Akari-chan." Tomoko: "I'm so proud to call her my friend." Akari: "There." Akari: "See you later, onee-chan." Akane: "See you later." Akane: "Well then... I finished cleaning and did the laundry. Dad and Mom are out on a date. Since it's Sunday," Akane: "What should I read?" Akane: "I haven't read this book yet." Akane: "Up we go." Akane: "That should do it." Akane: "I almost forgot." Akane: "There. I've got to have this. "I love you, onee-chan."" Akane: "There's no substitute for her actual uniform. It smells nice." Akane: "Akari..." Akari: "I'm home!" Akari: "I forgot something." Akane: "Oh my. You're such a silly girl, Akari." Akari: "Cake! Onee-chan, no fair!" Akane: "There's some for you." Akari: "Really? I love you, onee-chan." Akane: "I'm the protagonist watching you" Akane: "Akari's friends play a big role in the next episode. Akari's so cute hiding in their shadows! I'll always be watching you."

All: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey!" Akari: "Yuru Yuri's start... Huh? What's wrong?" Akari: "Stop! That's not food! Those are gifts for our fans! No!" Akari: "That looks hard." Kyoko: "Winter Comuket's deadline is the day after tomorrow." Akari: "I know! What if we all help you?" Kyoko: "Really?" Yui: "I suppose we have no choice." Kyoko: "Hooray!" Chinatsu: "If we must." Chinatsu: "Hand me a sheet." Kyoko: "Chinatsu-san, why don't you make some tea?" Chinatsu: "What?" Kyoko: "I'm going to start inking the pages." Both: "Okay." Chinatsu: "I made some tea." Chinatsu: "So what should I do?" Kyoko: "Chinatsu-san, why don't you sing for us?" Chinatsu: "What?" Akari: "Yui-chan, you're amazing!" Yui: "I'm always helping her..." Chinatsu: "You will never return... Our broken, matching mugs... In the picture on the windowsill... You and I smile..." Chinatsu: "Not knowing the future that awaited us..." Akari: "I wonder how long they take to dry." Akari: "This might help!" Kyoko: "Yui, this one's ready for filling." Yui: "Okay." Akari: "Achoo!" Yui: "Are you okay?" Akari: "I'm fine!" Kyoko: "That's good." Akari: "What am I going to do?" Chinatsu: "I finished singing, Kyoko-senpai." Kyoko: "Huh? I-I'd like to hear another song." Chinatsu: "What? Senpai, are you sure you just don't want" Kyoko: "N-No, that's not... This kind of work is boring," Chinatsu: "Fine, then." Akari: "What else can I do besides erase pencil marks?" Kyoko: "Add tones, I guess. Can you do it?" Akari: "Probably, if you show me how." Kyoko: "Okay! You place the tone like this..." Akari: "Okay." Kyoko: "Then take a knife and do this." Akari: "I see." Kyoko: "If you press too hard, you'll cut the page too," Akari: "Will do!" Akari: "I feel like a manga artist." Yui: "What should I do about this?" Kyoko: "Yeah, that's it." Yui: "Will we finish in time?" Kyoko: "With everyone helping me, I think we'll make it." Yui: "We'll help you tomorrow, too." Kyoko: "Seriously? Hooray!" Yui: "You owe us some WcDonald's." Akari: "I want a cheeseburger." Chinatsu: "I want a Big Wac." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, what about here?" Kyoko: "Oh, put a gradient there." Kyoko: "Like this." Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan! Stay still!" Chinatsu: "You're the one who told me to do something fun!" Kyoko: "Right, sorry!" Chinatsu: "I'll help you, too." Yui: "What?" Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, make some tea!" Chinatsu: "What?" Yui: "I really want to drink more of your tea, Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "Oh, you...!" Chinatsu: "I'll go make some now." Kyoko: "Nice one, Yui." Chinatsu: "Here you are." Yui: "Thanks." Chinatsu: "Now then, I'll just..." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, more tea!" Yui: "My stomach's about to burst." Akari: "You drank ten cups." Kyoko: "But thanks to Yui," Chinatsu: "I'm done cleaning the cups." Akari: "Thank you." Kyoko: "Well, we should get going." Yui: "I'm going to the bathroom..." Akari: "Me, too. I need to wash my hands." Kyoko: "Me, too." Kyoko: "Wait here, okay Chinatsu-chan?" Chinatsu: "Yeah, sure." Kyoko: "We're back. Chinatsu-chan, let's go home." Kyoko: "What's wrong?" Chinatsu: "Nothing, I..." Chinatsu: "I'm sorry!" Both: "A little?" Chinatsu: "I'll do better next time." Kyoko: "Don't you dare!" Kyoko: "Excuse us!" Ayano: "You're always so random, Toshino Kyoko." Chitose: "Why don't we?" Chitose: "You might get to sing a duet with Toshino-san." Ayano: "What?" Sakurako: "I'm all for it!" Kyoko: "Then it's decided!" All: "Merry Christmas!" Akari: "This is amazing." Chinatsu: "It looks delicious." Ayano: "It's like a family restaurant." Chitose: "Karaoke places serve lots of kinds of food these days." Yui: "Just how many songs have you selected? We're supposed to take turns choosing them." Kyoko: "Everyone was so interested in the food," Yui: "If they didn't wanna sing," Kyoko: "Good point!" Yui: "What were you thinking, then?" Kyoko: "Yeah!" Chitose: "That was great, Toshino-san!" Ayano: "She's so good..." Kyoko: "Thank you, thank you." Chinatsu: "Was that an anime song?" Kyoko: "That's right." Sakurako: "I've never heard of it." Yui: "What kind of twisted show is that?" Kyoko: "It's a heartfelt romantic comedy." Akari: "Oh? Really?" Kyoko: "It's about the protagonist and a girl who's her childhood friend..." Kyoko: "Her childhood friend is really cute." Kyoko: "Every morning she waits for the protagonist at her shoe locker... She makes a lunch box for her every day" Kyoko: "She's always regulates who she hangs out with" Yui: "That's not cute. That's stalking. I bet she goes yandere in the end." Akari: "This is my song. It's a fun Christmas song, so sing along if you know it. On a night when the stars shine bright... You can hear the bells ringing... What? Tonight he is coming to see you..." Akari: "Santa Claus is coming." Sakurako: "You're next, Sugiura-senpai!" Ayano: "What? Uh..." Chinatsu: "Okay! I'll sing!" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai." Yui: "What?" Chinatsu: "This song is a duet." Yui: "Sure." Chinatsu: "Hooray!" Chinatsu: "This is it!" Yui: "Oh..." Yui: "Sorry, I only know the hook." Chinatsu: "What?" Kyoko: "I know this song." Kyoko: "I'll sing it with you!" Chinatsu: "What?" Song: "You had a little too much to drink tonight... Why are you trying to get me drunk?" Song: "What kind of smile will you flash me today?" Sakurako: "I don't know this part." Himawari: "What?" Himawari: "What do you want?" Sakurako: "Here!" Himawari: "What? Now?" Sakurako: "I dunno the words." Himawari: "You're hopeless." Song: "If we grew closer" Song: "May my feelings reach you..." Sakurako: "This part's fun to sing!" Himawari: "You're always so selfish." Song: "Believe in my love and I'll send these feelings to you..." Kyoko: "I'm out of juice." Kyoko: "What do you guys want?" Chitose: "Are you sure?" Kyoko: "Yeah." Akari: "I'll go with you, Kyoko-chan." Kyoko: "It's okay, it's okay." Chitose: "You spoke to me on the beach as the sun set..." Yui: "Chitose's so cute when she sings." Ayano: "You're right. It's kind of soothing." Ayano: "Yes?" Kyoko: "Thank you for waiting." Akari: "Thank you." Yui: "How'd you knock just now?" Yui: "Never mind, I figured it out." Kyoko: "Here you are." Yui: "Thanks." Yui: "She mixed them... But it's not too bad... I can't say anything." Kyoko: "Yui hasn't noticed." Akari: "This song just came out! It's already available?" Chinatsu: "I love this song!" Ayano: "What a gentle yet heartbreaking song." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, you sure do like ballads." Yui: "Can't you see? I can't help but follow you with my eyes..." Kyoko: "Hey!" Yui: "How do you feel about me?" Kyoko: "Hey!" Yui: "I want to be with you, but I can't tell you..." Kyoko: "Hey!" Yui: "I say some harsh things, but please don't hate me..." Yui: "This is supposed to be a ballad!" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, let's try again! Do you know this song?" Yui: "Yeah, I know that one." Chinatsu: "I'll select it, so sing it with me." Yui: "Okay." Chinatsu: ""Yearning in Abashiri" is 624..." Sakurako: "I put this song in!" Sakurako: "Get out of the way." Himawari: "Sakurako, this is a duet." Sakurako: "Who cares? There's no rule saying I can't sing a duet by myself. Your small-mindedness is why your boobs are so big." Himawari: "What did you say?" Song: "You will never return... Our broken, matching mugs..." Kyoko: "Miracle lucky love you... May we be together forever..." Kyoko: "That's mine!" Yui: "You ordered more?" Kyoko: "I love you..." Kyoko: "Fried rice is so good!" Kyoko: "We han het hrough the hard himes hogether..." Yui: "Shut up!" Kyoko: "I inhaled some rice..." Himawari: "Sugiura-senpai, you haven't sung anything yet." Ayano: "I still haven't made up my mind," Chitose: "Ayano-chan, do you know this one?" Ayano: "But..." Chitose: "It's got two parts so it's hard to sing without two people." Song: "Give me a call... I'll help you anytime... That's true love..." Ayano: "Of course I am! This is nothing!" Kyoko: "Sing a duet with me." Ayano: "I suppose I have no choice." Chinatsu: "Okay! I'll select that song Yui-senpai knows again!" Akari: "Our glasses are empty again." Kyoko: "Wait, get some for me, too!" Yui: "It must be pretty carbonated." Kyoko: "Oolong tea for me." Akari: "Okay." Yui: "I'll go with you." Chinatsu: "What?" Kyoko: "Yui, don't mix my drink." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai!" Chinatsu: "But..." Kyoko: "I know this one!" Chinatsu: "Do what you want..." Song: "You will never return... Our broken, matching mugs..." Employee: "Thank you for waiting." Yui: "What? Russian?" Kyoko: "I secretly ordered them earlier." Ayano: "There you go again..." Chitose: "But it sounds fun." Akari: "Does one of them taste different?" Chinatsu: "Apparently it's full of mustard." Sakurako: "What? I don't want that." Himawari: "That's why they're Russian." Kyoko: "The person who gets the mustard one" Yui: "What?" Ayano: "I'm not good at that stuff..." Kyoko: "It's okay! I'll start." Yui: "I hope it's not me..." All: "It was spicy..." Yui: "Good. I can eat without fear." Yui: "Is it good, Chinatsu-chan?" Chinatsu: "Yes! It's delicious!" Yui: "Good." Chinatsu: "But, why did she" Yui: "This is the first time we've hung out together, isn't it?" Chinatsu: "What? Y-You're right!" Yui: "I felt bad we didn't get to sing the duet you" Chinatsu: "It's totally fine." Yui: "Plus, you gave me those chocolates and that scarf." Chinatsu: "Oh, right." Yui: "I hadn't paid you back for those, either. Sorry it's taken so long." Chinatsu: "Not at all! I wanted to give you those." Yui: "I'm glad you came. Thanks." Chinatsu: "I'm so glad I gave her that scarf!" Chinatsu: "I wish I could thank my past self! I'll never forget how Himawari-chan helped me!" Chinatsu: "If I don't enjoy this date, I'll regret it forever! Give it everything you have, Chinatsu!" Yui: "What should we see?" Chinatsu: "Well, since we're on a date," Yui: "This is a date?" Chinatsu: "It may be a date, but we're both girls. That might not make a romantic film the best choice..." Chinatsu: "Action and crime films are out of the question." Chinatsu: "I wonder if Yui-senpai likes anime?" Chinatsu: "Let's see this one!" Yui: "That's a horror film." Chinatsu: "I-I got over it!" Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, I thought you got over" Chinatsu: "You're so mean." Chinatsu: "But it's okay since you're here, I guess." Ghost: "I'll curse you to death!" Chinatsu: "It's perfect. I've actually been too scared to ever see a horror movie," Yui: "Let's go, Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "Okay!" Chinatsu: "China's Romantic Horror Plan starts now!" Yui: "Ow... Ow, my arm hurts. It hurts!" Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, it's okay. Calm down. Don't be scared, okay?" Chinatsu: "It was so scary, senpai! It was so scary, I almost cried!" Yui: "Yeah, it was scary... For the wrong reason." Chinatsu: "I was so scared, my plan to grab onto Yui-senpai went to waste." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, you were holding my arm really tight." Chinatsu: "Huh? I was?" Yui: "Yeah... It made my heart race." Chinatsu: "She said holding on to her made her heart race! I don't really remember what happened," Yui: "I have a hand-shaped bruise..." Chinatsu: "I think I managed to get closer to Yui-senpai. This is going pretty well!" Girl: "Oh, Toru." Chinatsu: "Now that I've calmed down," Chinatsu: "Holding hands like that..." Chinatsu: "A real date..." Chinatsu: "But then, what's this?" Chinatsu: "Maybe it really is weird for two girls to be together..." Yui: "I'm going to buy this." Chinatsu: "O-Okay." Chinatsu: "No, what's with this negative attitude? No one loves Yui-senpai more than me," Yui: "We should go home soon." Chinatsu: "Yes! So much fun! Thanks for taking me to see a movie. Did you have fun?" Yui: "Yeah, I did." Yui: "The movie was scary, though..." Chinatsu: "I thought it was scary, too! The day went by so quickly." Chinatsu: "If only it could've lasted a little longer..." Yui: "Let's hang out together again sometime." Chinatsu: "Really?" Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, let's hurry." Chinatsu: "Why was I being so hesitant? Today has been wonderful. Senpai..." Chinatsu: "Senpai..." Chinatsu: "Senpai..." Chinatsu: "Senpai..." Chinatsu: "Senpai, I love you!" Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, the train!" Yui: "Uh... Could you let go of my hand, now?" Chinatsu: "Oh Senpai, I love you, too!" Yui: "Listen to me." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai..." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai..." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai!" Chinatsu: "I'm your aggressive protagonist, Yoshikawa Chinatsu. Who're you calling aggressive? I had so much fun on my date with Yui-senpai! If I had pursued her a bit more aggressively at the end..."

Yui: "What's this?" Chinatsu: "I drew a picture of Yui-senpai in a lovely club meeting scenario!" Kyoko: "Lovely, huh? Yui, what're we gonna do?" Yui: "We'll have to use it. There's no time. Come on, let's go. Ready, and..." All: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey!" Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, what's wrong?" Yui: "I bet her eyes are rolling back in shock..." Akari: "Our final exams study group meeting will now begin!" Sakurako: "I brought tons of snacks! I brought cards, too! I also brought..." Himawari: "What did you come here to do?" Sakurako: "Huh? We're not gonna take breaks?" Himawari: "You can't afford to take breaks!" Sakurako: "This is boring!" Akari: "If there's anything we don't understand, we'll help each other." Himawari: "Should we figure out who's best at each subject?" Akari: "Oh, yes." Akari: "I'm good at Japanese and science." Chinatsu: "I'm good at everything but geography and social studies..." Himawari: "I'm good at English and math. And I'm okay at social studies, so I can probably cover that." Akari: "And you, Sakurako-chan?" Sakurako: "Arts and crafts..." Himawari: "That really doesn't help us at all." Himawari: "Sakurako! You mustn't slack off." Sakurako: "I'll study later. Akari-chan, here. Say, "ah."" Akari: "Thank you." Sakurako: "Akari-chan, did you buy this ribbon?" Akari: "Yeah. I haven't used it, though." Himawari: "Akaza-san, about this problem..." Akari: "Which one?" Akari: "Oh, this? This is alkaline, so..." Himawari: "Oh, I see." Akari: "So that's the answer." Himawari: "I see. So that's how it works." Akari: "If there's anything else you don't understand, just ask." Akari: "What's this?" Chinatsu: "You didn't notice?" Sakurako: "Akari-chan, you're so funny!" Akari: "Sakurako-chan, don't do that!" Chinatsu: "Sakurako-chan, you're sorta like Kyoko-senpai." Sakurako: "Really? Maybe it's my intelligence..." Chinatsu: "Or the way you both say things like that..." Sakurako: "Doesn't Toshino-senpai cram the night before a test and score the highest in her grade? If I'm like her, maybe that'll work for me." Himawari: "What're you talking about?" Chinatsu: "It'd be amazing if you could." Akari: "Maybe she has a memorization technique." Chinatsu: "Why don't we ask her?" Kyoko: "A memorization technique?" Akari: "We were wondering if there's a trick to cramming." Koyoko: "Okay, I'll tell you, as a special service." Akari: "Thank you, Kyoko-chan." Sakurako: "All right!" Kyoko: "First, open your textbook and place it on the floor. Put your head on your textbook and do a headstand." Kyoko: "Then pray." Akari: "What do we do next?" Kyoko: "Well, that's a lie..." Akari: "What? A lie?" Sakurako: "A lie?" Himawari: "That should've been obvious." Yui: "What did they want?" Kyoko: "Sounded like everyone was studying together." Yui: "I see..." Kyoko: "That looks good!" Yui: "They're hot, so be careful." Kyoko: "So good!" Yui: "Take some to Akari and the others on your way home." Kyoko: "Okay. See you tomorrow." Kyoko: "Gulp..." Kyoko: "Bread Yui made for you... is what this was..." Chinatsu: "Did you eat it?" Kyoko: "What I have here is an ordinary paper bag. No tricks or gimmicks..." Chinatsu: "Where's the bread?" Kyoko: "It's magic! All the bread inside ended up in my stomach!" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, calm down! Calm down!" Chinatsu: "No! How could you? Yui-senpai's homemade bread! Her bread is gone! Why did you eat it?" Kyoko: "Because I got hungry... And the bread was right there, so..." Sakurako: "I understand!" Kyoko: "I knew you would!" Akari: "Don't bond over this!" Himawari: "Please don't become friends!" Sakurako: "So, what happened to my bread?" Kyoko: "I told you. I ate it." Chinatsu: "My sister gave me a pound cake, so I brought it to share with everyone... But today we're having green tea, and those don't go together. I guess I'll save it for tomorrow. But if I leave it here, Kyoko-senpai might eat it..." Chinatsu: "I'll hide it in here." Kyoko: "So then Ayano..." Kyoko: "Hey, Chinatsu-chan!" Kyoko: "Huh? She's not here yet. Let's see, what should we do today?" Yui: "Maybe you should try doing your homework." Kyoko: "What?" Chinatsu: "What am I gonna do? Why did I hide?" Chinatsu: "What should I do?" Chinatsu: "I was so surprised, I hid in the closet. I'm so silly." Kyoko: "You hid in the closet? What kind of crime did you commit?" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, I'll go apologize to the police with you, okay?" Yui: "You're weird..." Chinatsu: "I'm so scared, I can't go out!" Kyoko: "I guess we can do homework. Yui, let's compare our work." Yui: "You don't have anything to share, do you?" Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan's late." Yui: "You're right. Maybe a teacher had to talk to her." Chinatsu: "I'm here. I'm right here, Yui-senpai. I'm so sorry for making you sad..." Kyoko: "I want some tea. Where's Chinatsu-chan?" Chinatsu: "I've got bigger problems right now! Make your own tea, for once..." Yui: "Now, now. Chinatsu-chan will make us some delicious tea later." Chinatsu: "Yes, I'll make you some delicious tea!" Chinatsu: "It's getting hot. I was going to hide in here until everyone left, but I don't think I can..." Kyoko: "And then I tripped." Yui: "What were you doing?" Chinatsu: "Senpai, you're always so clumsy." Kyoko: "You think so?" Chinatsu: "Yes. If I just exit naturally like that, they might not notice! That would never work. In that case..." Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan? What're you...?" Chinatsu: "Please be quiet!" Chinatsu: "They seem to have left. I didn't think they would come this far... What about acting like there's something going on? No, no! They'll think I'm crazy!" Chinatsu: "If only I could leave unnoticed..." Yui: "Huh? Chinatsu-chan, when did you get here?" Chinatsu: "C'mon. I've been here the whole time." Kyoko: "What? I thought Akari was the only one with no presence." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, what do you mean by that? Akarin." Chinatsu: "Chinarin. No!" Chinatsu: "What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?" Chinatsu: "I know! Maybe I should just bolt out of the room looking really intense! It'll distract them from wondering why I was in the closet in the first place!" Akari: "What's wrong, Chinatsu-chan? You're acting really intense..." Chinatsu: "Oh, I'm so silly. I thought it was my turn to feed the ducks in the courtyard, but then I remembered we don't have ducks." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you're so scatterbrained." Chinatsu: "Like that!" Chinatsu: "It's the only way! Let's go, Chinatsu! Show them your maidenly determination!" Chinatsu: "It's an emergency!" Chinatsu: "Nope. Can't do it." Akari: "Yui-chan, what's today's snack?" Yui: "I baked a pound cake... But that doesn't go well with green tea." Kyoko: "That's okay. Since you made it, I'm sure they'll taste fine together." Yui: "There you go again, saying silly things... Akari, could you get plates and forks?" Akari: "Okay." Chinatsu: "Thanks for the food." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan never showed up." Kyoko: "She must've left to do something." Cinatsu: "Burp." Chinatsu: "You seem tired." Akari: "I always go to bed at nine." Chinatsu: "Oh, right. It's already ten." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, when do you go to sleep?" Chinatsu: "After eleven. If there's a TV show I want to watch, I'll stay up even later." Akari: "I see. You're so grown up..." Chinatsu: "Grown up? You don't have to force yourself to stay awake. I'll go to bed later." Akari: "No. You came here to sleep over. I want to talk and play more." Chinatsu: "Really? Then what should we do?" Akari: "Let's see... Actually... My sister rented this." Chinatsu: "Scary stories?" Akari: "Oh, sorry. Chinatsu-chan, you don't like scary stuff, right?" Chinatsu: "Well, whatever..." Tv: "Can you see it? At first glance, it seems to be a perfectly ordinary cover of a manga's fifth volume." Tv: "Look at the bottom of your screen. Underneath the band is a large woman's face..." Akari: "I'm scared." Tv: "The ghost of a woman who demands to be seen... Perhaps that's what this is." Akari: "Wasn't that scary, China..." Chinatsu: "It was so scary!" Akari: "Y-Yeah..." Chinatsu: "Do you feel awake now?" Akari: "I'm not as tired as before." Chinatsu: "Okay, then! Wanna play cards?" Akari: "Yeah!" Chinatsu: "I got a pair." Chinatsu: "I guess I'll go to bed." Chinatsu: "I thought of that DVD and now I can't sleep... Akari-chan..." Chinatsu: "Don't scare me like that!" Chinatsu: "The wind? That's the wind, right?" Chinatsu: "I shouldn't have watched that!" Chinatsu: "You're scaring me! Stop!" Chinatsu: "I'll go right to sleep. It won't be scary in the morning." Chinatsu: "But what if... What if someone's floating right in front of me, staring at me?" Chinatsu: "What if someone's hiding under Akari-chan's desk, or someone's standing in the corner... I have to think of something else to distract myself! Something else, something else..." Yui: "Hey, Chinatsu-chan!" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai!" Yui: "You're so cute. You couldn't sleep because you're afraid of ghosts." Chinatsu: "But..." Yui: "Instead of ghosts, you should think about me." Chinatsu: "That's amazing. All that fear vanished in a second. Yui-senpai's the best remedy. Now I can sleep in..." Akane: "I'm sorry I scared you. I just came to get my DVD." Akane: "Goodnight." Akari: "Bathroom..." Chinatsu: "I'm not scared, I'm not scared..." Chinatsu: "I'm not scared, I'm not scared..." Akari: "I-I'm scared!" Chinatsu: "I'm not scared, I'm not scared, I'm not scared..." Akari: "Ikeda-senpai, hello." Chitose: "Oh, Akaza-san." Akari: "Are you cleaning?" Chitose: "I'm helping out as a cleanup volunteer. Are you out on an errand?" Akari: "I'm on my way back from the convenience store." Chitose: "I see." Akari: "Oh, I know." Akari: "Would you like some ice cream?" Chitose: "What? Are you sure?" Akari: "Yes. Let's eat together." Chitose: "Thank you." Chitose: "I wanted something cold to eat." Akari: "Thanks for the food." Chinatsu: "Sugiura-senpai, I bet this would look good on you. This one's nice, too." Ayano: "How about this for you, Yoshikawa-san?" Chinatsu: "It's so cute. Maybe I'll buy it." Ayano: "What a coincidence, running into each other here." Chinatsu: "You're right." Ayano: "She's not... with you today?" Chinatsu: "Pardon?" Ayano: "Um..." Chinatsu: "Oh! You mean Yui-senpai?" Ayano: "What? Uh, y-yeah." Chinatsu: "Oh, come on...! I wish we could always be together, but she was busy today." Ayano: "I see..." Ayano: "Um, I wonder what kind of clothes Toshino Kyoko likes? Do you know?" Chinatsu: "I dunno. Sugiura-senpai, why are you suddenly asking about Kyoko-senpai?" Ayano: "No reason..." Chinatsu: "Anyway, Sugiura-senpai, do you know what kind of clothes Yui-senpai likes?" Ayano: "What? I'm sorry. I have no idea." Chinatsu: "I see. That's too bad... Oh, this is cute, too." Ayano: "I bet that would look good on Toshino Kyoko." Chinatsu: "No, it would look better on Yui-senpai." Kyoko: "Guess who?" Himawari: "Toshino-senpai!" Kyoko: "Hey. Boob-chan, what are you buying?" Himawari: "Could you not call me Boob-chan?" Kyoko: "Hima-chan, then." Himawari: "She gave me a nickname... Recipe books and study guides. Toshino-senpai, what are you looking for?" Kyoko: "Any new volumes of my favorite manga." Himawari: "I see." Himawari: "Toshino-senpai's ribbon... I thought it was a ribbon, but it's cat ears? What should I do? Should I say something? But if she's wearing that to look nice... I want to know. I want to know, but I can't ask!" Himawari: "And now that I look more closely... What's that?" Himawari: "What is that? What animal is that? Whose ears are those?" Kyoko: "That joke's done." Himawari: "Senpai..." Himawari: "I don't know what to say..." Kyoko: "This publisher's study guides are easy to memorize, so I recommend them." Himawari: "M-Memorize?" Himawari: "Oh, you're right. It brings everything together so it's easy to understand." Kyoko: "I know, right? For English, I recommend this..." Himawari: "She's a bit strange, but I have to respect how mature she actually is. She's nothing like Sakurako." Sakurako: "Onions and tofu and grilled meat..." Yui: "Is that a joke?" Sakurako: "What are you making?" Yui: "I was thinking of mapo tofu." Sakurako: "You can make that at home?" Yui: "Of course. What are you..." Sakurako: "Huh?" Yui: "What?" Yui: "She wasn't joking?" Sakurako: "You made bread before, too! Funami-senpai, are you a chef?" Yui: "Your family never had mapo tofu for dinner?" Sakurako: "I thought it was an instant dinner." Yui: "Oh..." Sakurako: "I'm supposed to cook today. Is there anything easy I can make?" Yui: "What about salisbury steak?" Sakurako: "That's a good idea! You just buy 'em and fry 'em." Yui: "What? You're not gonna make them? Forget what I said! Something simple, something simple... What about udon? All she has to do is boil that." Sakurako: "All I have to do is add hot water!" Yui: "Are you just lazy?" Sakurako: "Wow, Judas' ears! I love Judas' ears!" Yui: "Yeah, they're good." Sakurako: "But they look a bit weird. I've never seen 'em so black." Sakurako: "I wonder where they're from. Do you think they're cute?" Yui: "She seriously thinks they're..." Chitose: "Don't panic, Akaza-san! Gently... Put it back gently." Akari: "I did it." Chitose: "Don't let your guard down! Use your mouth to stick it back together!" Akari: "O-Okay!" Girls: "Sorry!" Chitose: "Akaza-san, don't worry about it." Chitose: "Those girls didn't mean any harm..." Akari: "Ikeda-senpai..." Akari: "The ants will enjoy my ice cream, won't they?" Chitose: "Y-yeah... Do you want half?" Akari: "Yes."

Yui: "It's hot again today." Chiantsu: "It sure is." Yui: "Where's Akari?" Chinatsu: "She's the class officer today." Kyoko: "Could you get me volume 97?" Chinatsu: "Get it yourself. You're turning into a lazy cow." Kyoko: "Moo." Kyoko: "Fine." Chinatsu: "Could you get the crackers while you're up?" Kyoko: "What? You'll turn into a lazy cow." Akari: "Thanks for waiting, everyone." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, good timing. Could you get those crackers?" Akari: "What? Sure, but you're already ordering me around?" Kyoko: "Let's cool down by playing the King Game." Yui: "That will cool us down?" Kyoko: "The loser will be the King's errand girl for life." Chinatsu: "For life?" Akari: "That's too much!" Yui: "Can't we play normally?" Chinatsu: "How does the King Game work again?" Yui: "Well..." Kyoko: "The person who behaves in the most kingly manner wins." Yui: "I knew you'd make a joke." Kyoko: "But it's more fun this way. Show some respect!" Yui: "A lord?" Kyoko: "I'm thirsty. Will someone make some tea?" Yui: "A company president?" Kyoko: "Um..." Yui: "You ran out of ideas quick." Kyoko: "It's hard being a king. Maybe being a queen is easier." Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "Listen to me, you dog! Lick my feet!" Yui: "In the King Game, you draw straws to determine the King," Yui: "and the King tells another player what to do." Chinatsu: "That sounds fun!" Yui: "Let's try it, then. We've got nothing else to do." Akari: "I've got disposable chopsticks." Chinatsu: "Way to go, Akari-chan." Kyoko: "Okay. Shall we begin?" All: "Who's the King?" Akari: "I'm the King!" Akari: "What should I do?" Akari: "Okay, number two." Chinatsu: "I'm two." Akari: "Uh, um..." Akari: "Be my friend forever." Chinatsu: "Okay." Chinatsu: "Was that her command?" Kyoko: "Sounds like Akari." Yui: "She's too nice." Chinatsu: "Next round!" All: "Who's the King?" Kyoko: "It's me!" Chinatsu: "Ugh..." Kyoko: "What should I do? Number three, kiss me." Yui: "What? You should try to be more like Akari." Kyoko: "So it's you?" Chinatsu: "What? Wait! I won't let Yui-senpai kiss you!" Kyoko: "But the King's orders must be obeyed." Yui: "Yeah, but..." Kyoko: "Fine. You can just kiss my finger, then." Chinatsu: "It may only be a finger, but how dare you! That finger is a hundred times more valuable right now! Do you understand?" Kyoko: "You can kiss me, too, Chinatsu-chan. Come on, come on." Kyoko: "Not a moment's hesitation!" Chinatsu: "In other words, I need to become the King and order Yui-senpai's number to marry me." Chinatsu: "If that's how it is, let's keep playing!" All: "Who's the King?" Kyoko: "Me!" Yui: "You're so lucky, Kyoko." Kyoko: "Number one, turn around a hundred times and pretend to be an elephant." Akari: "A hundred? One, two, three, four..." Chinatsu: "I must become King..." Akari: "Five, six..." Akari: "Braaah..." Kyoko: "Akari! Who did this to you?" Yui: "You did." Kyoko: "Oh, well. The three of us will have to play until she recovers." Chinatsu: "All right. My chances of becoming the King have increased." All: "Who's the King?" Yui: "It's me." Yui: "Um..." Yui: "Okay, number two." Chinatsu: "Yes! I'm number two!" Chinatsu: "Oh, no. What will she order me to do? Could it be?" Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, kiss my lips with your lips now." Chinatsu: "Y-You're so bold, Yui-senpai." Yui: "You must obey the King's orders," Yui: "Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "Yes, Yui-senpai..." Yui: "Wh-What's gotten into you, Chinatsu-chan?" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai..." Yui: "Um, could I have some more tea?" Chinatsu: "What? That's your command?" Chinatsu: "I have to become King!" Chinatsu: "Here." Yui: "Thanks, Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "Next round!" Kyoko: "All right." All: "Who's the King?" Chinatsu: "It's me!" Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan, huh?" Yui: "Congratulations." Chinatsu: "Now I have to guess Yui-senpai's number." Yui: "You're the only one who'd tell someone to turn around a hundred times and pretend to be an elephant." Chinatsu: "I got it!" Chiantsu: "Number one, I have orders for you!" Kyoko: "I'm number one." Chinatsu: "What?" Chinatsu: "Then turn around a hundred times and pretend to be a bear." Kyoko: "What? Such cruel orders!" Yui: "You're one to talk." Kyoko: "One, two, three..." Chinatsu: "If I can get Kyoko-senpai out of the game..." Kyoko: "B-Bear..." Chinatsu: "Just as planned! Now Yui-senpai and I are the only players! The King Game of Love is about to begin!" Sakurako: "Girls!" Sakurako: "Would anyone like cookies?" Himawari: "We brought cookies to share with— What?" Himawari: "What on earth happened here?" Yui: "They're okay. Actually..." Sakurako: "The King Game! That sounds super fun! I'll get Sugiura-senpai and the others!" Himawari: "Wait, Sakurako!" Himawari: "I'm sorry. I'll leave the cookies here." Yui: "Thanks." Himawari: "Wait, Sakurako!" Chinatsu: "Now's my chance!" Yui: "Huh? For what?" Chinatsu: "Let's play one more round before more players arrive!" Akari: "I'm feeling better now." Akari: "What?" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Chinatsu: "Ugh..." Ayano: "Did you forget your..." Ayano: "Where's Toshino Kyoko?" Ayano: "What? Toshino Kyoko! It's an emergency! Are you sick? What did you pick up and eat? I told you not to do that!" Ayano: "Oh, I see. So that's what happened. Then I am no longer anxious Angkor Wat." Yui: "She should wake up in a bit." Toshino: "The King Game, huh?" Sakurako: "There you are!" Ayano: "Oh." Sakurako: "Apparently Akari-chan and her friends are playing the King Game!" Ayano: "Yes, I just heard." Sakurako: "Let's join them!" Ayano: "What?" Chitose: "Why not? The student council's mostly finished with its work." Ayano: "I suppose you're right. Shall we join them, then?" Sakurako: "It's decided! All right!" Himawari: "Excuse the intrusion." Kyoko: "Bear..." Akari: "Here we go." All: "Who's the King?" Sakurako: "I'm the King!" Sakurako: "The King... Truly an appropriate title for me." Sakurako: "Now then! Number seven!" Himawari: "The straws only go up to six." Sakurako: "What? But we have seven people." Himawari: "One of us is the King." Sakurako: "Oh, right." Sakurako: "Starting over, then..." Sakurako: "Numbers two and three, kiss!" Yui: "Why does this seem familiar?" Himawari: "I'm three." Sakurako: "What?" Ayano: "I'm two." Sakurako: "What?" Chinatsu: "The King's orders must be obeyed. Get it over with already." Ayano: "What?" Himawari: "But..." Chinatsu: "You can kiss her on the cheek. Hurry up." Ayano: "Why is this happening?" Himawari: "I guess I don't mind if Sugiura-senpai kisses me on the cheek..." Ayano: "Here goes..." Himawari: "O-Okay." Sakurako: "Stop, stop!" Sakurako: "I take back my command!" Himawari: "You're the one who issued it." Sakurako: "I'm the King! I'm changing my orders!" Sakurako: "King, punch number three!" Chinatsu: "Let's keep playing!" Chinatsu: "Who's the King?" Yui: "It's me." Chinatsu: "Who's the King?" Chitose: "It's me." Chinatsu: "Who's the King?" Akari: "I'm the King again." Chinatsu: "Who's the King?" Ayano: "Oh, it's me." Chinatsu: "Why, King?" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, why don't we stop?" Chinatsu: "Not yet! One more time!" Kyoko: "Kyoko-chan makes a magnificent recovery!" Kyoko: "O-Okay..." Chinatsu: "Come on, King straw! Listen to me! You'd better not betray me, or else!" All: "She's acting like a queen..." Chinatsu: "You'll be punished!" Sakurako: "Done!" Sakurako: "Now you can find it, right?" Akari: "Sakurako-chan, what's this symbol?" Sakurako: "You don't know, Akari-chan? It indicates which direction is up." Akari: "Up?" Himawari: "You mean north." Chinatsu: "And this is how you draw a compass symbol." Sakurako: "That's one way to draw it!" Himawari: "It's the only way to draw it." Teacher: "Class is starting. Take your seats." Kyoko: "It's time for Cooking with Kyoko-chan. Today's menu is—would you believe it? A Kyoko-chan style harmony of love with vegetables and beef." Yui: "It's meat and potatoes." Ayano: "Hurry up and get ready." Kyoko: "You're ruining my excitement." Kyoko: "Welcome! We got some fresh vegetables in!" Yui: "You're a vegetable vendor now?" Kyoko: "What shall I roll for you next?" Yui: "You changed jobs quick. Stop playing around and peel some potatoes." Kyoko: "Oh, no! You're going to make me buck naked!" Yui: "Shut up!" Yui: "That's dangerous!" Kyoko: "I don't know what to do since I've never done it before. Is this how you do it?" Yui: "Stop!" Kyoko: "First you said do it, and now you say to stop. You're so selfish." Teacher: "Toshino." Teacher: "You'll be doing your own special class over here." Ayano: "Is this all right?" Yui: "Yeah." Chitose: "They're perfect." Student: "How are things over here?" Student: "Coming along?" Yui: "We'll be able to start cooking soon." Student: "You're so good at cooking. We're way behind." Kyoko: "Oh, how awful!" Yui: "Help us over here." Kyoko: "There's nothing to do over there. I learned to use a knife for nothing." Yui: "You learn quick." Student: "Do you usually cook at home?" Yui: "Yeah, somewhat." Kyoko: "Not at all." Yui: "Stop walking around with a knife." Kyoko: "How long do we wait?" Chitose: "About 15 minutes." Kyoko: "15 minutes? What are we supposed to do during that time?" Yui: "Will you wash these dishes?" Kyoko: "What should I do?" Yui: "Hey." Kyoko: "My tendons are inflamed from drawing too many comics!" Yui: "Fine, I'll do it. Kyoko, go get the dishes and utensils." Kyoko: "Okay." Yui: "She moves when it's time to eat." Kyoko: "Got them." Yui: "We're making four servings." Kyoko: "Mine's on the bottom." Yui: "Just how much are you going to eat?!" Kyoko: "Is it ready yet? Are the meat and potatoes ready yet?" Chitose: "Wait just a little longer." Kyoko: "I can't wait!" Kyoko: "I can't wait, so let's arm wrestle! Bring it on!" Yui: "What about your inflamed tendon?" Kyoko: "It's better now." Yui: "You can't just make things up." Yui: "Fine. I'll arm wrestle you." Kyoko: "Ready, fight!" Kyoko: "I cannot lose!" Yui: "You're putting up a fight." Yui: "There." Kyoko: "If there were a spike here, that would've been a disaster for my hand!" Yui: "For my hand, too." Kyoko: "I've never been able to beat you." Kyoko: "Okay, Ayano." Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "I can probably beat you." Ayano: "I can't. I'm too weak." Kyoko: "Come on, just do it." Ayano: "Just once, then." Kyoko: "Here we go!" Ayano: "O-Okay..." Kyoko: "Ready, fight!" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko..." Yano: "I'm sorry." Kyoko: "I lost again!" Ayano: "That's the first time I've won an arm wrestling match." Kyoko: "Liar! You were as strong as anyone! Chitose, let's go!" Chitose: "But I'm weak, too. There." Yui: "Kyoko, you're just weak." Ayano: "So you can be cute." Kyoko: "I don't believe this." Kyoko: "How humiliating. I'll have to play Akari and Chinatsu after school." Ayano: "Oh?" Ayano: "Looks like it's ready." Kyoko: "All right!" All: "Thanks for the food!" Kyoko: "Meat and potatoes are delicious!" Student: "You're already eating?" Kyoko: "We're starting first." Student: "Lucky you." Ayano: "The meat is soft and delicious." Yui: "It makes you want rice, doesn't it?" Chitose: "Yeah." Teacher: "Once you're finished eating, write up your reports and turn them in." All: "Okay." All: "Thanks for the food!" Kyoko: "Zero wins, three losses." Kyoko: "My arm wasn't nearly strong enough. I had no idea I was such a weak maiden." Yui: "You don't need to report on your arm wrestling." Kyoko: "My inflamed tendon may be the reason I lost." Yui: "I thought you were better now." Hanako: "This vending machine is too tall." Hanako: "And why did they put it here?" Akari: "What's wrong?" Hanako: "Someone saw me. How embarrassing." Akari: "You can't reach?" Akari: "I'll push it for you." Hanako: "It's all right. I can do it myself." Akari: "Which one did you want?" Hanako: "That one. At the very top." Akari: "I'll buy that, so let's trade, okay?" Hanako: "What? Are you sure?" Akari: "Yeah. That's what I wanted to drink anyway." Akari: "Here." Hanako: "Thank you." Hanako: "Here you are." Akari: "Thanks." Akari: "Hey, wait!" Akari: "What is this?" Akari: "I-I love this stuff." Hanako: "You don't have to force yourself to drink it." Akari: "I-I'm not forcing myself!" Akari: "Wow, it looks delicious." Akari: "I-It's delicious..." Hanako: "She's making a crazy face." Akari: "I'm going to rest on this bench." Akari: "Bye-bye." Akari: "What's wrong?" Hanako: "I'll rest with you, miss." Akari: "M-Miss?" Akari: "Shall we sit together, then?" Akari: "She called me miss. I'm so happy. I've always wanted someone to call me that." Akari: "I need to show her I'm a strong young lady. Hey." Akari: "This girl isn't drinking juice!" Akari: "She's drinking black coffee!" Akari: "This little girl is drinking black coffee? I heard grade school kids these days are mature, but this is far greater than I imagined." Hanako: "What's wrong?" Akari: "Nothing." Hanako: "Miss, are you on your way somewhere?" Akari: "Yeah, my friend's house." Akari: "It's my first time going there, so I'm excited." Hanako: "I came to get this because my sister asked me to." Akari: "Oh, I see." Akari: "It's for your sister." Akari: "What grade is your sister in?" Hanako: "Third year in high school." Hanako: "She has lots of assignments, so she's going to drink coffee and work hard." Akari: "Sounds rough." Akari: "High schoolers drink black coffee, right?" Hanako: "I'm going to drink my juice, too." Akari: "Oh, no! You need something to wipe that!" Akari: "What? I don't have any tissues! Oh, no! What should I do?" Hanako: "I have tissues." Akari: "Thanks. You really—" Hanako: "I'm glad I had tissues." Akari: "She ended up helping me." Hanako: "Miss, I'll throw that away." Akari: "It's okay. I can handle that. You can sit." Hanako: "Are you okay?" Akari: "I tripped..." Hanako: "You're bleeding." Akari: "Thanks." Hanako: "You should disinfect it later." Akari: "Sorry I keep messing everything up." Hanako: "Don't worry about it." Akari: "Okay." Hanako: "Here. This will cheer you up." Akari: "A candy!" Akari: "I can have this?" Akari: "Hooray! On top of helping me, she patted my head and gave me a candy!" Hanako: "There." Hanako: "I'd better go home." Hanako: "You be careful, miss." Akari: "Okay. Bye-bye." Hanako: "Bye-bye." Akari: "I'm pathetic. I didn't do anything young lady-like at all." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan!" Chinatsu: "Thanks for waiting!" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "You're early again today." Akari: "Not at all." Akari: "This will be my little secret." Akari: "Is this the place?" Chinatsu: "Isn't it over there?" Akari: "This is it." Sakurako: "Welcome!" Chinatsu: "Hello." Akari: "We're here." Sakurako: "Wasn't my map perfect?" Akari: "Um, sure." Chinatsu: "We managed to make it here." Hanako: "Huh?" Akari: "What?" Hanako: "You're the young lady from earlier." Akari: "You're Sakurako-chan's sister?" Chinatsu: "You know each other?" Akari: "We just met at the park. No, wait. That's secret." Chinatsu: "Secret?" Akari: "Uh, in other words, I..." Akari: "In any case, I'm shocked!" All: "Yuru Yuri Cross Review!" Akari: "It's amazing that the Sea Urchin's Adventures have almost reached a hundred volumes." Kyoko: "Men and women of all ages love it." Kyoko: "The almost excessively brutal scenes really grow on you!" Akari: "I don't like those parts so much." Kyoko: "But Mirakurun's even more entertaining!" Akari: "The next episode is..." Kyoko: ""Tremble in Fear."" Akari: "What? Is it scary?"

Akari: "Huh? Yui-chan?" Yui: "Akari." Akari: "What is this place?" Yui: "Mari-chan's house. I'm here to help shovel snow." Akari: "Then I'll help, too." Yui: "Are you sure?" Akari: "Yeah. I was just going for a walk." Yui: "Thanks." Yui: "Use this." Akari: "Okay." Akari: "Their yard is huge." Akari: "I'll do my best." Yui: "Don't push yourself too hard. Thanks for helping—" Akari: "Yui-chan, I'm sorry!" Yui: "It's okay." Akari: "The snow is so heavy, and I was trying to throw it..." Yui: "I'm glad you hit me." Akari: "She's amazing. I'd better do my best, too." Yui: "Akari!" Yui: "Safe." Akari: "Th-That was surprising." Akari: "Thanks, Yui-chan." Yui: "Are you sure you're not carrying too much at once?" Akari: "I thought we'd finish faster this way." Yui: "We will," Yui: "since you're helping me." Akari: "Yui-chan, I love you." Yui: "That was cold." Akari: "Yeah." Akari: "Yui-chan." Akari: "There." Yuii: "Akari, your hands are warm." Akari: "It's Chinatsu-chan." Akari: "I'm shoveling snow with Yui-chan at Mari-chan's house." Yui: "We've made a lot of progress." Akari: "I'm having fun because we're working together." Yui: "Me, too." Chinatsu: "What? What a coincidence! Are you shoveling snow? I happen to have a shovel, so I'll help you!" Akari: "Why would you happen to have a shovel?" Yui: "You guys are so dependable." Yui: "With three of us, we'll finish in no time." Chinatsu: "With China, you have the strength of a hundred men!" Chinatsu: "I'll do my very best!" Yui: "Since we're all here, I'll call Kyoko." Akari: "Yeah, sure." Chinatsu: "There!" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai!" Akari: "Mari-chan." Mari: "Um, my mom made tea for you." Chinatsu: "It really warms you up." Akari: "Mari-chan, thanks." Yui: "Thanks for all your help." Chinatsu: "We finished before Kyoko-senpai came." Kyoko: "Hey!" Chinatsu: "Speak of the devil." Kyoko: "Look! A huge snowball!" Yui: "Go throw that away!" Chinatsu: "Don't bring more snow into the yard!" Mari: "It's big!" Kyoko: "A death mask." Yui: "Now that we're all here, let's have some fun." Yui: "Mari-chan, what do you want to do?" Mari: "I want to build a snow hut since I've never seen a real one." Chinatsu: "Good idea." Akari: "Hooray, snow huts!" Kyoko: "Let's do it!" Mari: "Yeah!" All: "Here we go!" Kyoko: "It's pretty warm inside a snow hut." Yui: "It's tiny!" Kyoko: "But my body is cold." Yui: "I'm sure it is." Kyoko: "Okay! Let's warm up by building snowmen." Chinatsu: "I hope we can eat pork buns inside once we're finished." Akari: "That sounds fun, but will all five of us fit?" Chinatsu: "You're right. As long as Mari-chan fits, I guess that's okay." Akari: "Yeah." Kyoko: "Look." Kyoko: "Akari." Akari: "What? Sheesh! My neck isn't that long!" Yui: "You really are dexterous." Kyoko: "Yui, want me to make you, too?" Yui: "No. Put that effort towards building the snow hut." Akari: "I'm dead!" Yui: "No, you're not dead." Mari: "I want to climb on top." Yui: "Okay, here we go." Kyoko: "Hey, no fair! I'm coming, too!" Kyoko: "Huh?" Yui: "Don't you know how heavy you are?" Kyoko: "You're so mean." Kyoko: "How could you bring up a young girl's weight?" Chinatsu: "Whatever. Just fix that hole, please." Mari: "Hooray." Yui: "Akari." Akari: "Huh?" Akari: "Mari-chan! I'm dead! I'm totally dead!" Yui: "Nobody's dead." Mari: "That was fun." Kyoko: "Come on, Mari-chan! This one's next!" Yui: "You made one anyway?" Chinatsu: "This is taking longer than I expected." Akari: "My arms feel heavy." Akari: "Mari-chan, are you okay?" Yui: "Are you cold?" Chinatsu: "Shall we go inside?" Yui: "Yeah. We don't want to catch a cold." Mari: "What? I'm okay! I'm going to build a snow hut! I want to see a real snow hut!" Kyoko: "Mari-chan." Yui: "That's enough of that." Kyoko: "I'm freezing." Chinatsu: "I'm going to buy pork buns for everyone at the convenience store." Akari: "Hooray, thanks." Kyoko: "Want me to go with you?" Chinatsu: "No, I can do it myself. Wait here." Yui: "I'm going to put Mari-chan in the bath. You can wait in the living room." Kyoko: "Okay." Akari: "Yui-chan, can I use the bathroom?" Yui: "I'll show you where it is." Akari: "Thanks." Kyoko: "Time to use their kotatsu." Akari: "What? Kyoko-chan, what's wrong?" Kyoko: "Th-The kotatsu... kotatsu is br-br-bro—" Akari: "Calm down! In other words, you plugged in the kotatsu, but it's not getting warm?" Kyoko: "So cold! Warm me up!" Akari: "Okay!" Akari: "Wha... Wait, Kyoko-chan. I-I can't breathe..." Kyoko: "Akari, you're so warm. I was so cold, I know exactly how polar bears feel." Akari: "Polar bears like cold places, unlike you." Kyoko: "What if they're just pretending to like it?" Polar Bear: "I-I'm not cold." Akari: "Really?" Akari: "Oh, no. You're going to catch a cold." Kyoko: "Thanks. This is relaxing." Akari: "Yeah." Akari: "This reminds me of the past." Yui: "Ready?" Akari: "Not yet." Yui: "Ready?" Kyoko: "N-Not yet." Kyoko: "What should I do?" Akari: "Kyoko-chan." Akari: "Over here." Kyoko: "Akari-chan." Akari: "She won't find us in here." Kyoko: "What? But it's dark and scary." Akari: "It's okay." Yui: "Ready?" Akari: "Ready." Akari: "I'm here." Akari: "As long as we're holding each other, we'll be okay." Yui: "I thought I heard voices coming from over here." Yui: "You're in here!" Yui: "I found you, Akari!" Akari: "You found me." Akari: "Way to go, Yui-chan." Yui: "I heard you making noise." Yui: "That leaves Kyoko. Let's go look for her." Akari: "Yeah!" Kyoko: "Akari-chan..." Yui: "What?" Akari: "Remember that?" Kyoko: "Hey, don't make things up." Akari: "You're denying everything?" Kyoko: "I'm just kidding. You were so cool back then." Akari: "And now everyone else is always helping me." Kyoko: "You think so? We're always turning to you for help, so we're even. But if you're ever in trouble, you can call on me." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, you're a lot cooler now." Kyoko: "My crybaby self and I have parted ways." Kyoko: "I'm so cold! I can't take it anymore!" Akari: "I thought you said you parted ways!" Kyoko: "Yeah, but..." Akari: "But it is cold. I'm starting to feel sleepy." Kyoko: "Don't fall asleep, Akari!" Kyoko: "Let's warm up with some matches." Kyoko: "Fwoosh." Kyoko: "Look." Kyoko: "Fluffy shaved ice like cotton candy..." Akari: "I don't think I want shaved ice right now." Akari: "But look, there's some delicious turkey." Kyoko: "You're right. I can see a fireplace, too." Chinatsu: "What are you two doing?" Kyoko: "Now I see Chinatsu-chan." Akari: "Is this an illusion, too?" Chinatsu: "You're both turning blue!" Kyoko: "Is it really you, Chinatsu-chan? This isn't a dream?" Kyoko: "I'd better kiss you to make sure..." Kyoko: "This pain is real! It's definitely real!" Akari: "You're so warm!" Kyoko: "Me, too!" Chinatsu: "Sheesh. You're hopeless." Akari: "It's so warm." Kyoko: "I'm in heaven." Yui: "Thanks for waiting. What happened to you?" Chiantsu: "It's an emergency!" Chinatsu: "The cold has made both of them lose their minds!" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, come back!" Yui: "What about the kotatsu?" Kyoko: "The k-kotatsu is b-broken." Yui: "What? It shouldn't be." Yui: "This side isn't plugged in." Kyoko: "I feel rejuvenated." Chinatsu: "Nothing beats eating pork buns in a kotatsu." Yui: "Yeah." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, thanks." Mari: "But the snow hut..." Yui: "Sorry. We'll make one another time." Kyoko: "I want rum raisin." Yui: "That was sudden." Chinatsu: "I can hardly believe that came from the mouth of someone who was shaking a second ago." Yui: "There's none here." Kyoko: "I'm going to go buy some. Do you guys want anything?" Akari: "Can you get some potato chips?" Yui: "Mari-chan?" Mari: "Sea urchin caramel." Kyoko: "Got it." Kyoko: "Sea urchin caramel and miso potato chips." Akari: "Get lightly salted ones." Kyoko: "I know." Kyoko: "I'm off." Yui: "Isn't Kyoko taking too long?" Chinatsu: "The convenience store is right there." Yui: "Yeah." Kyoko: "Thanks for waiting!" Kyoko: "The snow hut is finished!" Yui: "Did you do it by yourself?" Chinatsu: "Your nose is running!" Mari: "Snow hut?" Kyoko: "Tada!" Chinatsu: "This seems ominous." Yui: "It's wearing a death mask." Kyoko: "Since you like sea urchin so much, Mari-chan, I call it the sea urchin hut!" Yui: "That's not creative at all!" Mari: "Wow, wow, wow!" Mari: "It's a snow hut, a snow hut!" Yui: "You could've told us." Yui: "Thanks." Kyoko: "What?" Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai, you're so cool. I've changed my mind about you." Akari: "You're amazing, Kyoko-chan." Kyoko: "Maybe it's because I'm not used to being thanked, but I feel a chill..." Yui: "That's a cold." Student: "Good morning. Hey, did you see last night's show? Yeah, I did. Actually, I..." Ayano: "Funami-san, good morning." Chitose: "Good morning." Yui: "Good morning." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko's still not here." Yui: "She's home sick with a cold." Ayano: "What? Is she all right? Are you sure she didn't eat something strange off the ground?" Yui: "It's just an ordinary cold. She'll get better with some rest." Yui: "I think it's because she was playing in the snow yesterday." Ayano: "I see. But I'm still worried sick-apore Singapore." Yui: "Yeah." Student: "Funami-san." Student: "Do you have a minute?" Minamino: "Thanks for coming." Yui: "It's okay." Minamino: "I figure they already mentioned it, so what do you think? Have you given it some thought?" Yui: "Hey, Kyoko." Yui: "I'll bring her her handouts." Chinatsu: "Should we buy something on the way there?" Akari: "Yeah." Chinatsu: "How about flowers?" Yui: "What should I do? I've always compromised with them before." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, what do you think?" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai?" Yui: "Oh, sorry." Chinatsu: "What do you think we should bring Kyoko-senpai?" Yui: "How about ice cream?" Akari: "That might be good." Chinatsu: "I do feel like eating ice cream when I'm sick." Yui: "Kyoko eats it all year round, though." Kyoko: "So good!" Yui: "You seem better than I thought." Akari: "We were worried." Kyoko: "I still have a bit of a fever, but I should be able to go to school tomorrow." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai, even you catch colds." Kyoko: "What does that mean?" Yui: "Ayano was worried you ate something weird off the ground." Kyoko: "I didn't eat any rice crackers off the ground!" Yui: "So you did eat something." Kyoko: "I'm just joking. That would break all my teeth." Yui: "What kind of cracker are you talking about?" Kyoko: "Actually, that might be what's going to happen." Kyoko: "While I had a fever, I saw a prophetic dream." Yui: "What happened?" Kyoko: "I was passing the time as normal," Kyoko: "but then..." Kyoko: "Suddenly all my teeth fell out." Kyoko: "The inside of my mouth was empty, and I couldn't even chew rice. I realized the importance of teeth," Kyoko: "and I was stricken with sadness." Kyoko: "How truly terrifying." Akari: "Rice crackers are so scary." Chinatsu: "That has nothing to do with rice crackers." Kyoko: "But later all my teeth grew back." Akari: "That's great." Chinatsu: "That's fine, then." Kyoko: "I guess it was that sense of despair you feel when something you've taken for granted suddenly disappears." Kyoko: "How losing something makes you realize how important it is. It was that kind of prophetic dream." Chiantsu: "You wrapped that up nicely." Kyoko: "Hey, Yui." Kyoko: "Thanks for the handouts." Yui: "Sure." Yui: "Listen." Yui: "Uh, well..." Yui: "Ayano said she'd come by if she has time after student council." Kyoko: "All right! Maybe she'll bring me pudding." Yui: "We should get going." Chinatsu: "Yeah." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, take care." Kyoko: "Make sure you wash-n-gargle." Yui: "That's never catching on." Kyoko: "Kyoko-chan has recovered!" Akari: "That's great." Chinatsu: "You've recovered completely." Kyoko: "Yeah!" Yui: "She wouldn't shut up during class. By the way, yesterday I was asked to join the track and field club." Kyoko: "What?" Yui: "They've been trying to recruit me for a while," Yui: "but it was the first time a teacher asked me to join." Chinatsu: "What? That's amazing." Akari: "You are a fast runner." Yui: "That's not true." Akari: "I wish I were athletic, too." Chinatsu: "You don't seem like a fast runner, so you can't be." Akari: "What? Does that matter?" Chinatsu: "That's why you seemed different yesterday. You could have told us." Yui: "Well, Kyoko had a fever." Akari: "What are you going to tell them?" Yui: "I'm not sure." Chinatsu: "What? You're actually going to join the track and field club? I don't want us to have less time together!" Yui: "What?" Akari: "I'll be sad, too." Yui: "Wait, but..." Kyoko: "Why not?" All: "What?" Kyoko: "You should do whatever you want." Yui: "What? Kyoko?" Kyoko: "I'm going home early today." Kyoko: "There's a Mirakurun rerun." Yui: "Hey!" Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai!" All: "That's a cushion, not her bag!" Akari: "Kyoko-chan, good morning." Chinatsu: "Good morning." Kyoko: "Morning. Thanks for bringing me my bag yesterday." Akari: "It's fine. Your bag was light." Kyoko: "Well, it is empty." Akari: "What about your study materials?" Yui: "Sheesh. Put the cushion back when we get to school." Yui: "Ow! What's gotten into you?" Yui: "You're not taking that to the club room?" Kyoko: "It's comfortable." Yui: "You still have to do it." Kyoko: "I'll put in the club room, so you come with—" Student: "The track and field club would like to see you." Yui: "Sorry. I'll be right back." Student: "Sorry for bothering you so early." Yui: "It's okay." Student: "Can you come with us to see the teacher?" Yui: "Sure." Student: "Have you thought about joining the club?" Yui: "Yeah." Kyoko: "The Amusement Club has always been the four of us." Kyoko: "I can't believe we're losing a member now." Kyoko: "I..." Kyoko: "I..." Kyoko: "I won't allow it! Papa won't allow it!" Kyoko: "Yui is my daughter! Where? Where is she?" Yui: "Huh? Kyoko." Kyoko: "Yui!" Yui: "Where did you get that moustache?" Kyoko: "What about the track and field club?" Yui: "Oh, I turned them down." Kyoko: "What?" Yui: "I'd never join another club now. But I couldn't tell them about the unofficial Amusement Club," Yui: "so I wasn't confident I could turn them down right." Yui: "I'm glad I talked to Akari and Chinatsu-chan yesterday." Yui: "What are you..." Yui: "Hey, Kyoko. I can't breathe..." Yui: "Kyoko, can you stop..." Yui: "What was that for?" Kyoko: "You're right! You're part of the Amusement Club! It's not the Amusement Club without all four of us!" Yui: "Yeah, you're right." Kyoko: "Let's write up a contract. Anyone who cheats on me with another club owes me a year's worth of rum raisin." Yui: "You just want to eat rum raisin." Yui: "Even without a contract, no one's going anywhere." Kyoko: "You're right." Kyoko: "The Amusement Club will never die!" Kyoko: "Kyoko-chan bought cream puffs for everyone." Akari: "Wow, thanks!" Chinatsu: "Did something good happen to you?" Kyoko: "It's nothing." Yui: "Kyoko did it on a whim." Chinatsu: "By the way, Yui-senpai, were you able to turn down the track and field club?" Yui: "Yeah. Thanks to you, it was no problem." Chinatsu: "Speaking of clubs, there's a comic club forming at our school." Kyoko: "Did you say... comic?" Kyoko: "Gulp." Yui: "Hey." Both: "Yuru Yuri Cross Review!" Yui: "They turn everything into candy. It was good, though." Kyoko: "It's wonderful how they're always challenging themselves!" Yui: "By the way, I heard their headquarters is nearby." Kyoko: "What? Seriously?" Yui: "The next episode is..." Kyoko: ""Terrible No Matter How Much You Struggle."" Yui: "I have a really bad feeling about this..." Kyoko: "It's okay. It'll be fun!"

Teacher: "That's all for today." All: "Thank you." Kyoko: "Hey, look at this." Kyoko: "Giant boobs!" Yui: "What are you, a child?" Teacher: "Toshino, Ikeda." Teacher: "Be sure to lock up once you finish cleaning up." Chitose: "Okay." Kyoko: "Oh, right. It's our turn today. Sorry. You go on ahead." Ayano: "I'll change while I wait." Chitose: "Thanks." Kyoko: "Wait, boobies! Boing, boing!" Yui: "Shall we go, then?" Ayano: "Okay." Yui: "This is awkward." Ayano: "I need to say something." Yui: "Um..." Yui: "So, today..." Ayano: "Wh-What?" Yui: "It's finally been getting warm lately." Ayano: "Yeah, and it was a cold winter." Yui: "It snowed a lot, too." Ayano: "Yeah, I guess you could say..." Ayano: "I've had pent-enough pentagram of this cold weather." Yui: "Yeah, I've had enough..." Ayano: "She sighed?" Ayano: "What should I do?" Ayano: "Did I make things awkward?" Yui: "Is she trying to loosen up the situation? Maybe I should say something, too." Ayano: "Come to think of it, the cherry blossoms are supposed to bloom early this year." Yui: "Seriously?" Yui: "Forcing the pun made that come out weird. What even is sushi-riously?" Yui: "Sorry. Prawn-tend I didn't say anything." Yui: "I made two weird puns in a row! How embarrassing!" Ayano: "That was... craw-mical." Yui: "What? She complimented me? Or was she just backing me up?" Yui: "I made Ayano go out of her way to be nice to me." Yui: "What's wrong?" Ayano: "My track suit is fraying." Yui: "Mine's getting thin here and there, too." Ayano: "We're only second years, but they're already in Borobu-poor condition." Ayano: "We'd better take good care of them." Ayano: "Does your stomach hurt?" Yui: "No, it's nothing." Ayano: "Are you sure? If you're not feeling well, you should go to the nurse's office. When I was in grade school, I had a Ganges ter-river headache. But when I forced myself to stay in class, I collapsed. I took my temperature, and it was 39 degrees. It was a Big Sight-prise." Yui: "Why does she keep making puns? Is she doing it because I'm laughing? I've never spoken to Ayano much before, but I think we could be friends. I should try making more puns, too." Yui: "My button is coming off." Ayano: "Oh, no! You'd better sew it back on." Yui: "I really want to, but..." Yui: "I really want To-yama black. Just kidding." Yui: "I feel like I'm ripping off Ayano now." Yui: "Ayano?" Ayano: "It's nothing." Yui: "I made her cry?" Ayano: "Have you always been this playful, Funami-san? I glad you showed me this side of you." Yui: "What should I do? Ayano's trying to be considerate of me, but I haven't done anything for her." Yui: "Sorry for making you cry." Ayano: "What? I'm not crying! I was just laughing so hard, some tears came out!" Yui: "Really?" Ayano: "Yes, of course!" Ayano: "But why does she suddenly seem so depressed? Was she not satisfied with her own jokes?" Ayano: "Funami-san has high standards for humor." Yui: "Was she laughing at my Toyama black joke?" Yui: "No, that can't be." Ayano: "I thought we could be friends," Ayano: "but I'm not great at telling jokes." unami: "It's depressing, though. I failed to say anything funny at all." Both: "This is hard..." Chitose: "Sorry to keep you waiting." Kyoko: "We finished in just five minutes." Both: "Five minutes?" Kyoko: "It flew by, didn't it?" Both: "Yeah..." Both: "That was a long five minutes..." Kyoko: "I was tired all day today." Yui: "You always are." Kyoko: "In spring, the sleeper knows not the hour of dawn..." Yui: "Do you even know what that means?" Yui: "Chinatsu-chan." Yui: "Today's tea tastes a little strange." Chinatsu: "It's corn tea." Yui: "So that's what that flavor is." Chinatsu: "Did you not like it?" Yui: "No, it was good. I'd like to have this tomorrow, too." Chinatsu: "Really? I can't believe she liked it this much." Chinatsu: "It's a request from Yui-senpai! Tomorrow, I'll do my best to show off with my tea-making skills! God has granted me this opportunity! You can do it, Chinatsu!" Tomoko: "You can't, Chinatsu. You can't go to school with this much of a fever." Chinatsu: "No!" Chinatsu: "Sometimes, a girl in love needs to try! Let go!" Tomoko: "Chinatsu!" Chinatsu: "Good morning." Akari: "What's wrong, Chinatsu-chan?" Sakurako: "Are you hungry?" Himawari: "You look really pale." Chinatsu: "I'm okay." Chinatsu: "I just have a touch of a cold." Akari: "Really?" Himawari: "We have art first period." Akari: "Can you go, Chinatsu-chan?" Chinatsu: "Yeah." Akari: "So good! What? Who is that? It looks nothing like our model, but it's great!" Chinatsu: "What are you talking about, Akari-chan? If anything, today I'm experiencing a slump." Chinatsu: "And I'm always good at drawing." Teacher: "This is fantastic, Yoshikawa-san. Let's enter this drawing in the contest." Sakurako: "There!" Himawari: "We're down two points." Akari: "There's no time left." Sakurako: "Chinatsu-chan!" Chinatsu: "I feel dizzy." Student: "A three pointer?" Teacher: "Game's over. Team A wins." Student: "We lost!" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you're amazing!" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you're amazing!" Chinatsu: "Oh, I'm sorry, Nancy. You scared me, so..." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you're amazing!" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you're amazing!" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you're amazing! Chinatsu-chan, you're amazing! Chinatsu-chan, you're amazing! Way to go, China! You're amazing!" Akari: "Let's just go home. I'll walk you to your house." Chinatsu: "I'm fine." Akari: "Are you sure you're not pushing yourself too hard?" Chinatsu: "I'm not. I need to make the tea I promised her, accept her proposal, build a house with a big yard..." Yui: "They're making a sequel to that game? All right!" Yui: "I loved it so much, I played it a bunch of times. Would Akari skip if something made her this happy? Like this!" Yui: "Ouch..." Yui: "I thought my pinkie toe was going to come off." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko! You forgot the class journal—" Ayano: "She's crying?" Yui: "She saw me?" Ayano: "What's wrong? Did something happen? Funami-san, I've never seen you cry before!" Yui: "It's nothing! I'm not crying, so don't worry!" Ayano: "She's lying. She was definitely crying. Something must have happened." Yui: "What should I do? I can't believe I let myself get carried away and hit my pinkie toe while skipping. I'm too embarrassed to tell her." Ayano: "I don't know what's going on, but I can't just ignore it! What should I do?" Yui: "She kindly approached me?" Yui: "At this rate, I'll just be causing trouble for Ayano." Yui: "Um, I..." Yui: "Nothing really happened. Oh, I know! I yawned! A huge yawn came on, so my eyes teared up..." Ayano: "She's definitely lying." Ayano: "It's okay, Funami-san." Ayano: "But don't try to handle it alone. If there's anything I can do, let me know, okay?" Yui: "She's not even remotely fooled!" Yui: "It's no use. She's so worried about me." Yui: "Okay." Yui: "Ayano, the truth is..." Ayano: "That's right!" Ayano: "You'll feel better once you have something sweet to eat! I'll go get some pudding!" Yui: "Ayano!" Kyoko: "Yui-tan, thanks for waiting." Kyoko: "Everyone's idol Kyoko-chan has arrived." Kyoko: "Normally you'd start dancing here." Yui: "I wouldn't do that even if I had the energy." Kyoko: "What's wrong?" Yui: "Well..." Yui: "I don't want to say why, but someone saw me crying." Yui: "Actually, strictly speaking, I wasn't crying. But Ayano's really worried about me now." Kyoko: "Ayano?" Kyoko: "I'm not sure what's going on. But in other words, you made Ayano worry about you when she shouldn't. But the situation is so embarrassing, you don't know how to explain it." Yui: "I'm glad you picked that up so quickly." Kyoko: "I know, right? And to keep her from worrying any more about you, you want me to fool her, right? Leave it to me!" Yui: "No!" Ayano: "She told me what's going on." Ayano: "Sorry for worrying about you." Yui: "It's okay." Ayano: "Anyway, Funami-san..." Ayano: "I had no idea you enjoyed making yourself cry by hitting yourself in the nose." Kyoko: "There are people with all kinds of tastes in this world." Yui: "Hey, wait a minute! You made me sound like a weirdo!" Kyoko: "You're not satisfied with this?" Yui: "No!" Ayano: "What's going on?" Yui: "It's my fault for not telling you the truth." Yui: "The truth is, I was happy about something earlier. While I was skipping out of character, I hit my pinkie toe, and I teared up." Both: "Skipping?" Kyoko: "You were skipping? Really?" Ayano: "Funami-san, you were frolicking?" Yui: "This is so embarrassing! That's why I didn't want to tell you! I'm going to die!" Kyoko: "There's nothing wrong with skipping! I was surprised because it was so unexpected, though." Ayano: "That's right. I skip, too!" Yuii: "You're lying!" Kyoko: "It's nothing to be embarrassed about!" Ayano: "Let's all skip together!" Both: "Skipping, skipping, skipping!" Yui: "Just leave me alone!" Ayano: "Don't say that!" Kyoko: "Yui, hurry up!" Akari: "What's going on here?" Chinatsu: "That looks fun." Chinatsu: "Let us join you..." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan!" Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan!" All: "Are you okay, Chinatsu-chan?" All: "Wake up, Chinatsu-chan!" Akari: "I knew you were pushing yourself too hard." Chinatsu: "Sorry." Kyoko: "Ayano was worried about you, too." Kyoko: "She said this pudding is for you. I'll put it in your refrigerator later." Chiantsu: "Okay." Yui: "Do you want anything?" Kyoko: "Rum raisin!" Yui: "Not you." Chinatsu: "Pukari." Yui: "Got it. I'll go buy some." Akari: "Me, too." Kyoko: "I'll watch Chinatsu-chan." Kyoko: "Now, let's get nursing!" Kyoko: "Want me to do anything? Want some medicine? Should I wipe down your body?" Kyoko: "Hey, hey!" Chinatsu: "I wish you'd be quiet." Kyoko: "So mean!" Kyoko: "Why did you force yourself to come to school? I would consider myself lucky for being able to miss school." Chinatsu: "That sounds like you." Chinatsu: "That's not a compliment." Kyoko: "Well, anyway, you shouldn't push yourself until you're feeling better." Chinatsu: "This has nothing to do with you." Kyoko: "What? It totally does. I'm sad when you can't come to club meetings, but your health comes first." Chinatsu: "I don't need your help! Just be quiet!" Kyoko: "You're so cold!" Akari: "We're back." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, we bought some Pukari." Chinatsu: "Thanks." Yui: "Next time you catch a cold, you need to stay home from school. I'm sad when you can't come to club meetings," Yui: "but your health comes first." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, I can't let you be sad! I'll get better as soon as possible so I can go to school!" Kyoko: "This is nothing like how you reacted to me!" Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan, I'm glad you're feeling better." Chinatsu: "Me, too. Sorry for making you worry. Did I make anyone sick?" Yui: "No, we're fine." Kyoko: "Because we wash-n-gargle." Yui: "That's never catching on." Chinatsu: "Here you go, Akari-chan." Akari: "Thanks." Chinatsu: "Here, Kyoko-senpai." Kyoko: "Hooray." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai. Since you were looking forward to my tea so much," Chinatsu: "I brought yours in a beer mug!" Yui: "A beer mug?" Chinatsu: "Now drink up. By the way, I feel like I saw you skipping around yesterday..." Yui: "That was a dream! It was a fever dream!" Kyoko: "In that case, let's go flower viewing!" Kyoko: "To celebrate Chinatsu-chan's recovery." Yui: "You just want to look at flowers." Kyoko: "Now, now. They're nearly ripe for viewing, so why not?" Yui: "Let's see." Yui: "For lunch, we're having rice balls and rolled eggs." Himawari: "Meatballs and potato salad." Himawari: "We have all the ingredients." Yui: "Then let's do the preliminary cooking." Yui: "Now then..." Yui: "I'll finish tomorrow morning." Himawari: "Do you mind if I join you?" Yui: "Are you sure?" Himawari: "I'm responsible for lunch, too." Himawari: "Besides, I enjoy cooking with someone else." Himawari: "It's sort of exciting." Yui: "Then I guess I could use your help." Himawari: "I'm so excited for tomorrow." Yui: "Yeah. Let's make something tasty." Himawari: "Indeed." Yui: "By the way, what's in the bag?" Himawari: "Oh, this is... When I told my mother about the flower viewing," Himawari: "she dug these out of the closet." Yui: "Wow, sake cups?" Himawari: "I thought they'd help add to the atmosphere." Yui: "You're right. I'm sure everyone will love them." Himawari: "I wonder what they're doing right now." Yui: "Since we decided jobs at random, I'm a little worried." Ayano: "This isn't quite right." Chinatsu: "This is hard." Ayano: "How about this?" Chinatsu: "No, Senpai." Chinatsu: "It needs to be something more thrilling." Ayano: "Thrilling?" Chinatsu: "For example, if you took this to a flower viewing..." Akari: "Hooray!" Chinatsu: "Tada!" Chinatsu: "Nurse China here on official business!" Yui: "What a cute nurse. You're so attractive, I feel dizzy." Chinatsu: "Oh, no! I'd better examine you right away! Excuse me." Chinatsu: "This is..." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai..." Chinatsu: "You have acute Chinatsu poisoning." Yui: "Please give me a Chinatsu shot." Chinatsu: "Even that could happen!" Ayano: "What an incredible imagination..." Chitose: "I agree with Yoshikawa-san. We're responsible for the party supplies." Chitose: "You should find something to enjoy with Toshino-san." Ayano: "Wh-Wh-What? What are you talking about, Chitose?" Kyoko: "A lie detector?" Kyoko: "That sounds fun!" Yoko: "Ayano, try it." Ayano: "Why me?" Chitose: "Why not? Let's try it." Ayano: "I guess I don't have a choice." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, are you actually 20 years old?" Ayano: "No." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, do you have a little sister?" Ayano: "No." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, do you want to kiss Toshino-san?" Ayano: "What?" Ayano: "No!" Ayano: "Ow!" Kyoko: "Ayano..." Kyoko: "Was that true?" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko..." Ayano: "You're incredible, too..." Akari: "What should we do?" Akane: "I brought snacks." Akari: "Thanks, Sister." Akane: "Here you go." Sakurako: "This looks delicious!" Akane: "What are you two working on so hard?" Akari: "Tomorrow, we're going flower viewing." Sakurako: "We're responsible for the entertainment. We're trying to come up with ideas." Akane: "That sounds fun. I'd like to see your performance, too." Akari: "What? But it's embarrassing." Akane: "Omuro-san, make yourself at home." Sakurako: "Okay." Sakurako: "Hey, how about a comedy act?" Akari: "A comedy act? But what should we do for material?" Sakurako: "Material, huh?" Akari: "Did you come up with something?" Sakurako: "Why don't we both think about it really hard?" Akari: "Uh, yeah, sure!" Sakurako: "Why don't we call ourselves the Bright Akari?" Akari: "What? I'm a solo act?" Akari: "I'm glad the skies are clear." Chitose: "It should be a good day for flower viewing." Ayano: "Funami-san, it must have been hard making so much food for lunch." Yui: "No, it was fun. And I learned a lot since Furutani-san is so good at it." Sakurako: "We're here!" Chinatsu: "It's beautiful." Himawari: "There are a lot of people here." Sakurako: "They've got nothing better to do." Himawari: "Don't be so rude." Yui: "I hope Kyoko found us a spot." Chinatsu: "There's even someone in a sleeping bag over there." Yui: "All kinds of people— It's you?!" Kyoko: "Good morning, everyone." Yui: "Have you been here since yesterday?" Kyoko: "Of course! I had the important responsibility of securing us a spot." Yui: "Maybe so, but..." Akari: "But there's no one around here." Kyoko: "Of course not! After all, no one knows about this spot I found." Yui: "Then you should've slept at home." All: "Yuru Yuri Cross Review!" Akari: "It's scary how it shocks you." Chinatsu: "I bet it's really rough on some people." Kyoko: "I've never lied, so I wouldn't know!" Yui: "What are you talking about?" All: "The next episode is "Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom and a Romantic Storm!"" Yui: "I'm excited for the flower viewing." Kyoko: "You should thank Kyoko-chan." Chinatsu: "Time to get even closer to Yui-senpai!"

Kyoko: "Ahem. We will now commence with the flower viewing." Kyoko: "First, a word from me, our MC." Yui: "You're the MC?" Kyoko: "Hello, everyone!" All: "Hello." Kyoko: "Now on to the next act." Yui: "That's all?" Both: "Thank you, thank you." Akari: "I'm Lightly Salted Akari." Sakurako: "And I'm Mister Sakurako." Akari: "Together, we are..." Both: "Ready, and... Sakura Dango!" Yui: "Together?" Himawari: "Mister?" Akari: "I hope you'll at least remember our names when you leave today." Kyoko: "Nice, nice. This is perfect!" Akari: "Today we're throwing a flower viewing party." Sakurako: "Being chosen to provide entertainment was quite the conundrum." Akari: "I know. Yesterday my sister brought us sakura dumplings to snack on. We were so caught up in writing jokes that I accidentally mistook the buns on my head for dumplings and ate them instead." Sakurako: "Oh, really?" Akari: "You're supposed to say something snappy." Sakurako: "I forgot. Um... Oh, right. What do flower viewings make you think of? Tasty food and sake." Akari: "New Year's money and kagami mochi. And don't forget the year's first visit to the shrine." Sakurako: "Don't go eating those buns!" Akari: "You were supposed to say that earlier! Just now you were supposed to say "those are for New Year's, not flower viewings!"" Sakurako: "Oh, right." Kyoko: "What a mess." Akari: "We were better yesterday." Sakurako: "I forgot everything after sleeping on it." Himawari: "I guess it was too difficult for you, Sakurako." Sakurako: "What did you say?" Himawari: "Yes, yes. Good work." Sakurako: "Delicious!" Kyoko: "This is good, too!" Ayano: "This salad is good, as well." Yui: "Really? That's good." Himawari: "I'm so glad you like it." Kyoko: "Okay, Chinatsu-han. I challenge you to a drinking contest." Chinatsu: "I accept your challenge." Kyoko: "Ready, go!" Kyoko: "Winner!" Chinatsu: "That was too fast." Yui: "I'll buy some more tea at the convenience store." Chitose: "Want some help?" Yui: "No, I'll be fine by myself." Kyoko: "See you later." Akari: "Come to think of it, what kind of party supplies did you get?" Chinatsu: "Uh, well..." Ayano: "It's sort of, you know..." Chinatsu: "Maybe we should just forget about it..." Ayano: "Yeah..." Akari: "What's wrong, you two?" Chitose: "Don't be so depressed. They might like it." Himawari: "Is it in that bag?" Sakurako: "Let's see what party supplies you brought!" Chiantsu: "Don't!" Sakurako: "It'll be fine." Akari: "I'm excited." Sakurako: "What's it going to be?" Sakurako: "Tada!" Chinatsu: "We overthought it and lost our cool!" Ayano: "Why on earth did we buy these?" Himawari: "It's all right, you two." Akari: "I'm sure we'll have fun if we wear them." Chinatsu: "What good is having three fluffs on my head?" Kyoko: "What? These are nice. Since we have them, let's put them on." Kyoko: "You're so fluffy." Ayano: "Sheesh, Toshino Kyoko." Kyoko: "Don't I look good, too?" Chitose: "It's nothing! It's nothing, Akaza-san!" Yui: "I'm back." Himawari: "Thank you." Yui: "Here." Yui: "I know it's spring, but you must've been cold last night. Don't push yourself too hard." Kyoko: "Thanks." Yui: "Huh? Chinatsu-chan, where did you get that? It's cute." Chinatsu: "What?" Yui: "It's seriously cute." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai!" Sakurako: "Oh, right." Sakurako: "I made this." Himawari: "What is that?" Sakurako: "Sakurako's fortune teller, part two." Akari: "Shouldn't you have used the time you spent making that to practice our comedy routine?" Sakurako: "What's done is done." Himawari: "Another fortune teller?" Himawari: "Wait, district?" Akari: "That's district..." Sakurako: "District? What are you talking about?" Sakurako: "Throw a rock at this from over there." Himawari: "Fine." Himawari: "There." Sakurako: "Good luck! Today your luck is so-so. With nothing particularly good happening, today your luck is quite mediocre." Himawari: "I see..." Sakurako: "Chinatsu-chan, you're next." Sakurako: "Bad luck! Now that you've got bad luck, you're finished! The world is ending! The universe is exploding!" Chinatsu: "Huh. But this isn't "bad luck," it's "district."" Sakurako: "What?" Chinatsu: "Look." Sakurako: "You shouldn't worry about the small stuff." Chinatsu: "Whatever." Sakurako: "You're next, Akari-chan." Akari: "Okay." Akari: "There!" Sakurako: "Excellent luck!" Akari: "All right!" Sakurako: "Since you got excellent luck, something very fortunate will happen to you. And that something was getting excellent luck just now! Akari-chan, you've used up all your luck for the day." Akari: "What?" Chinatsu: "I've got the perfect thing for you, Akari-chan. Sugiura-senpai, get that." Ayano: "Oh, right. That could be a good idea." Chitose: "This is just what it was made for." Chinatsu: "Indeed." Ayano: "Akaza-san, congratulations." Akari: "Hooray, I'm the star!" Kyoko: "That's great, Akari." Yui: "It looks good on you." Akari: "I'm so happy." Sakurako: "I'm next." Sakurako: "I'm going get excellent luck and steal the spotlight from Akari-chan." Akari: "Don't do that!" Sakurako: "I'm sorry..." Chinatsu: "It's fine..." Yui: "Furutani-san, we should get those out soon." Himawari: "You're right. I'd completely forgotten." Kyoko: "Wow, sake cups!" Akari: "Can we use these?" Himawari: "Of course." Chitose: "I've never used sake cups before." Ayano: "Me, neither." Sakurako: "I feel like an adult now." Akari: "I know. We're like adults." Himawari: "Sakurako, yours is a bowl lid." Sakurako: "No way!" Himawari: "I'm joking." Chinatsu: "It's strange how it tastes better than normal." Yui: "Yeah. Atmosphere is important." Kyoko: "They're so nice and elegant. I'm so fortunate to be surrounded by so many grandchildren." Yui: "What are you, a grandma?" Kyoko: "Nice." Ayano: "Oh. There's one in mine, too. This kind of thing really does happen." Kyoko: "Yup." Sakurako: "Hey, that's nice!" Sakurako: "No fair! None of them have fallen in mine!" Akari: "Oh, Sakurako-chan." Yui: "That was surprising." Yui: "But at least it wasn't a spider." Chitose: "Funami-san, you're as fast as ever." Himawari: "I'm jealous." Yui: "Sorry, I wasn't thinking about anyone else." Chitose: "It's all right. I didn't have time to worry about my surroundings, either." Akari: "Yui-chan! Over here!" Akari: "Thanks for waiting." Akari: "Look over there." Yui: "Hey, ducks." Chitose: "What a cute little family." Himawari: "There are koi over there." Ayano: "This is nice, too." Chinatsu: "It's relaxing." Kyoko: "Just as planned." Yui: "How was this planned?" Sakurako: "There you are!" Akari: "Sakurako-chan." Sakurako: "You guys all ran off somewhere." Himawari: "It's your fault for dropping caterpillars on us." Ayano: "The wind feels nice." Chitose: "It's wonderful." Himawari: "I feel like my heart is being cleansed." Sakurako: "Oh, your heart was dirty?" Himawari: "There you go again." Akari: "I feel so happy right now." Akari: "Mrs. Duck..." Yui: "What are you doing, Akari?" Kyoko: "They took your spotlight away from you." Chinatsu: "Sounds like Akari-chan." Kyoko: "I wonder if I'll finish by morning." Kyoko: "No, even if I do finish, I'll have to pay for super express shipping." Yui: "I'm not sure what's going on, but it sounds pretty bad." Kyoko: "I spent too much time on last week's flower viewing." Yui: "You're the one who suggested it." Akari: "But I'm excited to stay overnight at school." Yui: "If anything happens, we're supposed to let the teacher on duty know immediately." Chinatsu: "But why are we staying in our club room?" Kyoko: "Because... here..." Kyoko: "As the Amusement Club, I thought we could..." Kyoko: "Well, I mean..." Chinatsu: "I'm not sure what you have in mind, but I'll work hard on these pages, too." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan!" Yui: "Could I have some more?" Chinatsu: "You're especially thirsty today." Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan. There's something I want you to help me with. Could you erase this for me?" Chinatsu: "Sure, got it. Let me know if you want anymore tea." Yui: "O-Okay..." Teacher: "Hey." Akari: "Nishigaki-sensei." Teacher: "I'm here to check on you." Kyoko: "You're the teacher on duty?" Teacher: "Yeah. It's hard to get permission to stay overnight in your club room, so don't cause any trouble." Teacher: "This is for you." Yui: "Thank you." Yui: "Here, Akari." Akari: "Hooray, they're lightly salted." Akari: "I love lightly salted chips." Kyoko: "These snacks don't explode, do they?" Teacher: "What are you talking about?" Chinatsu: "She has no self-awareness." Chinatsu: "Is something wrong?" Kyoko: "This is rough." Chinatsu: "Should we take a break?" Kyoko: "Okay, let's build a robot." Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "It's important to change things up." Chinatsu: "We don't have the technology or knowledge to do that." Kyoko: "No, no. I'm thinking about writing an original comic with a robot, but I'm having trouble settling on a design." Yui: "Oh, that's what you meant." Akari: "We get to help you come up with a design?" Chinatsu: "What kind of robot is it?" Kyoko: "I guess it's a cool battle robot." Akari: "How should we come up with ideas?" Yui: "Why don't we each draw one part at a time?" Akari: "A collaboration." Yui: "That should reduce her influence." Chinatsu: "Whose influence?" Kyoko: "Let's start drawing." Kyoko: "I'll go first." Kyoko: "I'll start with the head. Keep adding onto this." Kyoko: "I'm counting on you." Yui: "It's hard to draw robots when it comes down to it." Yui: "Like this?" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, that's amazing! It looks so robot-like!" Kyoko: "This next part is important." Kyoko: "Akari, you're next." Akari: "Okay." Yui: "Here." Akari: "But what should I draw?" Kyoko: "Draw something like a nose." Akari: "Got it." Akari: "How's this?" Kyoko: "That's a nose!" Akari: "What? Wasn't I supposed to draw a nose?" Kyoko: "That's not "like a nose," that's undeniably a nose!" Chinatsu: "What? I think it's good." Kyoko: "O-Okay, you're next, Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "Okay." Yui: "His head is lacking, so why don't you draw something on there?" Chinatsu: "You're right." Chinatsu: "I'm finished." Kyoko: "Hair? It's not robot-like anymore, it's a human!" Kyoko: "Then how's this?" Akari: "Kyoko-chan, that's amazing!" Chinatsu: "It's so robot-like!" Kyoko: "Yui, it's your turn." Yui: "Okay." Yui: "I'll try drawing its neck." Kyoko: "Next is the body. Akari, it's on you." Akari: "Okay." Akari: "I'm finished." Kyoko: "It's tiny!" Akari: "I thought it would be cute." Kyoko: "S-Sure..." Chinatsu: "Oh, Akari-chan. Kyoko-senpai said it's supposed to be cool, not cute." Akari: "Oh, right." Chinatsu: "I put us back on course." Kyoko: "Why did you add more?" Chinatsu: "I made Akari-chan's drawing part of the neck." Kyoko: "Oh, right." Kyoko: "Robot-like, robot-like..." Kyoko: "There!" Chinatsu: "Robots do have those things on their shoulders!" Kyoko: "You're next." Yui: "I'll try not to add anything unnecessary." Yui: "I tried making it look more like a mech." Akari: "It's robot-like!" Chinatsu: "You're a genius!" Kyoko: "Next are the arms and legs." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, you can do it." Akari: "Thanks. I'll do my best." Akari: "I'm finished." Kyoko: "They're tiny!" Chinatsu: "Shouldn't you make them more robust?" Kyoko: "Yeah, some strong-looking ones." Chinatsu: "I'll draw the legs that way." Chinatsu: "I drew exactly what you wanted." Kyoko: "Hooray! How can we get this back on track?" Yui: "That might be difficult." Akari: "What's left?" Yui: "How about giving it a weapon?" Akari: "A weapon, huh?" Akari: "I'll try drawing something." Akari: "How's that?" Kyoko: "It's so graphic!" Chinatsu: "I'll draw wings." Kyoko: "That could actually be pretty robot-like." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you can do it." Chinatsu: "Okay. I'm finished!" Kyoko: "What is it, a bug?" Chinatsu: "Don't you think it looks pretty good?" Kyoko: "Yeah, I guess..." Chinatsu: "The Amusement Club's original robot is complete!" Kyoko: "Thanks..." Akari: "Think you'll be able to use it?" Kyoko: "Probably..." Akari: "I'm so excited to see the finished product..." Yui: "Akari?" Chinatsu: "She's out of batteries." Kyoko: "The way she falls asleep is always so crazy." Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan, Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "Yes?" Kyoko: "Could you ink this for me?" Chinatsu: "Okay..." Kyoko: "So fast! So good! But, who is this?" Chinatsu: "Can I go lie down, too?" Kyoko: "Yeah, sure. Sorry for making you do so much this time." Chinatsu: "It's all right." Chinatsu: "Good night." Both: "Good night." Yui: "Is everything okay?" Kyoko: "Huh?" Yui: "Wasn't there something you wanted to say?" Kyoko: "What are you talking about?" Kyoko: "But more importantly..." Kyoko: "We're all alone together in the middle of the night." Yui: "Don't make it sound so creepy!" Kyoko: "What was that, an earthquake?" Yui: "No, that was..." Akari: "Good morning." Yui: "You could have kept sleeping." Akari: "I woke up. I'll help." Kyoko: "Then I'll take a break." Kyoko: "Wake me up whenever." Yui: "Got it." Yui: "Akari, you should change into your pajamas." Akari: "Yeah, okay." Kyoko: "I feel Akari's warmth..." Akari: "Yui-chan, you're not tired? Are you okay?" Yui: "Yeah." Yui: "Are you okay?" Akari: "I'm fine since I slept a little. But wearing pajamas in our club room feels strange." Yui: "It's a little embarrassing, too." Akari: "Nishigaki-sensei said it was hard to get permission to stay overnight in a club room, so why was it okay this time?" Yui: "The student council got permission for us. And lately they haven't being objecting to us using this club room." Akari: "Come to think of it, how was the Amusement Club formed?" Yui: "Well, if I remember correctly..." Kyoko: "What does this key go to?" Yui: "Let's take it to the faculty office." Kyoko: "No, I'm going to see what this key unlocks!" Kyoko: "I have a feeling I have to do it!" Yui: "What kind of sense of purpose is that?" Kyoko: "It's a match!" Yui: "The tea club, huh?" Yui: "Hey." Kyoko: "So this is what it's like on the inside." Yui: "But is there even a tea club?" Kyoko: "I heard it was disbanded last year. In other words," Kyoko: "no one's using this club room. Which means starting today," Kyoko: "this will be our secret base." Yui: "Don't just casually declare your intention to illegally occupy this room." Yui: "Besides, what are you going to do if the teachers find out?" Kyoko: "I'm sure it'll be fine." Yui: "It's just a hunch?" Yui: "That's sort of how it went." Akari: "Really?" Akari: "What did you do when it was just you two?" Yui: "It really wasn't much different back then. We'd do homework, hang out, and help Kyoko with her comic pages." Yui: "Since there were only two of us, there were limits to what we could do." Akari: "You didn't invite any of your other friends?" Yui: "We talked about it the day we formed the Amusement Club." Yui: "We decided you'd be the third member." Akari: "What?" Yui: "Now that I think about it, what would we have done if you wanted to join a different club?" Yui: "What's wrong?" Akari: "Huh?" Akari: "Sorry. I was just so happy, I couldn't help myself." Akari: "I'm really glad I joined the Amusement Club." Yui: "Since Chinatsu-chan joined, it's only been getting livelier. I'm happy..." Akari: "Yui-chan?" Yui: "Sorry. I lost consciousness for a second." Akari: "You should've told me if you're tired. You should sleep a little." Yui: "I'm okay." Akari: "You'll get sick." Yui: "I'm okay." Akari: "Yui-chan can be so stubborn sometimes." Yui: "Akari." Yui: "Want to go to the vending machines?" Yui: "I'm going to get a coffee." Akari: "What? Coffee?" Akari: "Do... Do you drink it black?" Yui: "Why do you seem a little excited?" Yui: "What do you want?" Akari: "Piccho Orange." Yui: "Want to try a sip?" Akari: "Are you sure?" Akari: "Yui-chan, thanks." Akari: "It's so bitter!" Yui: "I guess you're not ready for it yet." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan looks so cute in her sleep." Yui: "Yeah. But it's a little strange when she's so quiet." Akari: "Sometimes she does fly off the handle." Yui: "But that's part of what I like about her." Akari: "Yeah, it's fun." Akari: "She can be scary sometimes, though." Kyoko: "Bleed line..." Kyoko: "Screen tone fragments..." Akari: "She's dreaming about her pages." Yui: "It's too bad since she's asleep." Kyoko: "Feather brush..." Chinatsu: "Shut up." Yui: "Things are never boring with Kyoko around." Akari: "Every day is like Sunday." Yui: "She's always pushing us around, but even those times make good memories." Akari: "Yeah, you're right." Yui: "All right, let's put in a little more work for Kyoko." Akari: "I'll do my best." Kyoko: "And done!" Kyoko: "It's finished!" Yui: "That's great." Akari: "Congratulations." Chinatsu: "I'm exhausted." Kyoko: "Man, the morning after finishing a manuscript is the best!" Yui: "It was really hard for us, you know." Chinatsu: "Seriously." Akari: "But I had fun since we got to stay at school." Yui: "I guess I wouldn't mind this every once in a while." Chinatsu: "She'll get carried away if you're too easy on her, so try not to say too much." Yui: "Kyoko. Come on." Kyoko: "I'll only say this once." Kyoko: "Yui, Chinatsu-chan, and Akari, you're always there for me." Kyoko: "You're always willing to hang out with me." Kyoko: "And when I'm struggling like I was today, you help me." Kyoko: "The times we spend together make me so happy. I treasure them." Kyoko: "Thanks for everything." Kyoko: "Say something. I practiced that, you know." Akari: "Kyoko-chan!" Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai!" Akari: "I'm happy, too." Chinatsu: "Did you choose the club room just so you could say that?" Yui: "You're so disingenuous." Chinatsu: "And I can't believe you practiced that. How cute." Yui: "There, there." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, your face is red." Chinatsu: "Huh? You forgot to color this in." Kyoko: "What? Really?" Akari: "That was close." Yui: "You're always screaming about something when you notice it later." Chinatsu: "In that case, let's get this over with." All: "What?" Akari: "Wait!" Yui: "Chinatsu-chan! Wait, wait!"

Yui: "There. Now for the clothes—" Yui: "I could ask Kyoko..." Yui: "No, I can't. She'd definitely make fun of me." Akari: "This is Akari." Yui: "Sorry for calling so early. Do you have a minute?" Akari: "Yeah, sure." Yui: "Um... Akari, do you like spiders?" Akari: "What did you say?" Yui: "I doubt you do, but..." Akari: " I like clouds." Yui: "What? Really?" Akari: "Yeah! Looking at them makes me feel warm and fuzzy. And they're fluffy. Riding on top of one has been my dream since I was little." Yui: "Really? How unusual..." Akari: "I guess it is a little childish." Yui: "Childish?" Yui: "Well, whatever. If you like them so much, could you come to my place?" Akari: "Yeah, sure." Akari: "I'm off." Akane: "Be careful." Akane: "Okay!" Akane: "I'll wash this while no one's home!" Akane: "That should do it!" Akari: "A spider! Yui-chan, you called me to scare me, didn't you?" Yui: "What? You don't like them?" Akari: "This is no joking matter!" Yui: "Fine, then. I'm not expecting much, but..." Chinatsu: "I'm so glad you called me!" Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, are you free today?" Chinatsu: "Is she asking me out on a date? I'm totally free. I'm about to die from boredom!" Yui: "Could you come to my place, then? I actually—" Chinatsu: "I'll be as fast as light! I am the Chinatsu light!" Yui: "Uh, okay. I'll be waiting." Chinatsu: "Thanks for waiting!" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you look especially nice today." Akari: "What? Why are you disappointed?" Chinatsu: "It's nothing." Chinatsu: "Anyway, Yui-senpai, is something wrong?" Yui: "I actually found a spider in my room..." Yui: "You don't... like them, do you?" Chinatsu: "A spider? I don't like them, but I can at least get rid of it." Yui: "What? Really?" Chinatsu: "Oh, my. It's bigger than I thought. I can't kill this. It's much too large to squish with a tissue. No, no, no. But if I look good now, will I capture Yui-senpai's heart? That's right. If I can't catch a spider, I shouldn't even dream of capturing Yui-senpai's heart!" Yui: "With your bare hands? Are you okay?" Chinatsu: "I'm fine! If I think I'm doing it for you—" Akane: "Oh, no! I have a lecture this afternoon!" Akane: "That was close. I nearly committed social suicide. This must be the power of Akari!" Yui: "I get it, so hurry up and save us!" Kyoko: "What should I do? Okay. I'm going to use this empty cup and flier." Yui: "You're so dexterous." Kyoko: "There." Kyoko: "Extermination complete." Yui: "Thanks." Kyoko: "Yui, you didn't used to mind bugs." Yui: "Yeah, a long time ago." Kyoko: "It's so cute that you hate bugs." Yui: "Sh-Shut up." Yui: "Sorry for asking you all to come here. Since you're here, why don't we hang out today?" Chinatsu: "Okay!" Yui: "We'd better wake up Akari." Kyoko: "I'm a bit hungry, too." Yui: "Want to make pancakes?" Kyoko: "The time has come to display my skills." Yui: "Hey! Close the door!" Akari: "Hooray, pancakes." Chinatsu: "I haven't had these in forever." Yui: "There's fresh cream, too." Kyoko: "Fantastic." Chinatsu: "Here you go." Yui: "Hurry." Kyoko: "What? You want me to do it?" Chinatsu: "The surface is starting to bubble." Yui: "There." Chinatsu: "That looks delicious." Kyoko: "This isn't foaming up at all! Don't you have a hand mixer?" Yui: "I don't usually bake..." Kyoko: "Fatigue is starting to build up in my right arm..." Chinatsu: "You can do it." Yui: "Hurry up." Kyoko: "Will you still be my friend even if only my right arm is super buff?" Akari: "Want me to do it?" Kyoko: "What?" Kyoko: "A buff Akari sounds kind of scary." Akari: "Akarin! What is this?" Chinatsu: "Is that a heart?" Yui: "Yeah, I guess." Yui: "You can have it when it's done." Chinatsu: "You're sure I can have your heart?" Yui: "What is that?" Kyoko: "Nice muscles, right?" Kyoko: "You can have it when it's done." Yui: "I don't want that." Akari: "The cream is ready." Kyoko: "That was quick!" Chinatsu: "There's one more package." Akari: "My arm's going to fall off!" Yui: "Why don't we decorate our pancakes and trade them?" Chinatsu: "Good idea." Kyoko: "Here. A shampooing macho man." Yui: "I said I don't want that." Yui: "Here, Chinatsu-chan." Yui: "It's not very good, though..." Chinatsu: "How cute!" Akari: "Kyoko-chan, it's done." Kyoko: "Nice job." Akari: "I'm pretty proud of it." Kyoko: "Is that your face?" Akari: "It's a bear! You just assumed based on the buns, didn't you?" Chinatsu: "Here, Akari-chan." Akari: "Eek! I can't see the pancake!" Chinatsu: "I tried really hard to decorate it." Akari: "Th-Thanks..." Chinatsu: "Time to eat Yui-senpai's heart!" Yui: "Uh, okay." Yui: "Kyoko, what are you doing?" Kyoko: "By adding more on top of the drawing..." Kyoko: "Tada!" Chinatsu: "That's amazing!" Yui: "You're good at this kind of thing." Kyoko: "Any requests?" Akari: "I want a cat." Kyoko: "Sure thing!" Kyoko: "Here you go!" Akari: "This isn't... Well, it is, but this isn't what I wanted!" Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, why don't you try it?" Akari: "Okay!" Kyoko: "It's hard to pour it right." Chinatsu: "You're so good!" Kyoko: "Akari, you sure do love making your own face." Akari: "I told you, it's a bear! You assumed based on the buns again, didn't you?" Yui: "You sure do like bears..." Mom: "My friend's daughter bought it, but it's not quite what she imagined. I took it since I thought you could wear it." Ayano: "But I'd never look good in something this cute." Sakurako: "Success!" Himawari: "Do your homework already." Sakurako: "Yeah, I know!" Sakurako: "What's wrong with you?" Himawari: "If she'd take her studies more seriously, she wouldn't be so panicked before tests..." Sakurako: "She's acting weird. Is she depressed about something? Is it because I took some of her lunch the other day? Because I made fun of her during the physical exam? Or..." Himawari: "She's doing her homework so seriously!" Himawari: "She finally feels motivated..." Himawari: "Sakurako..." Sakurako: "Okay!" Sakurako: "Let's play cards!" Sakurako: "What? You don't like cards? Then..." Sakurako: "How about Pop-up Pirate?" Sakurako: "What?" Himawari: "She even brought that?" Himawari: "Could there be some reason why she refuses to study?" Himawari: "Perhaps there's a painful memory..." Sakurako: "Seriously, what's wrong with her? What's she worrying about?" Himawari: "Sakurako..." Himawari: "Is there something bothering you?" Sakurako: "Yeah, it's you!" Sakurako: "No, not really..." Himawari: "Well, we are talking about you. You don't have anything to worry about." Sakurako: "What does that mean?" Sakurako: "Are you listening? Hey!" Sakurako: "Boobs." Himawari: "Shut up." Sakurako: "I barely whispered it... Since she overreacted, does that mean it's her boobs that are bothering her?" Sakurako: "This happened before. Did they grow again?" Sakurako: "And when are mine going to grow, huh? What are your plans, huh?" Himawari: "She seems a bit down. Does she hate studying that much?" Himawari: "Does it make her realize how stupid she is?" Himawari: "But if she never gets better at it, she'll never grow. What she needs is tough love." Himawari: "Sakurako." Sakurako: "What?" Himawari: "I have something serious to say. Listen closely." Sakurako: "What?" Himawari: "You certainly are stupid," Himawari: "but don't let it get you down." Himawari: "Besides, um... I don't d-dislike that about you." Sakurako: "She suddenly called me stupid and then tried to cheer me up!" Sakurako: "Sheesh!" Sakurako: "I'm done! I don't feel like studying today!" Himawari: "What? What are you—" Sakurako: "I can't focus in this environment. You're supposed to be helping me study, but you've been thinking about other stuff!" Himawari: "What? I've been thinking about you this whole time." Sakurako: "What?" Sakurako: "Wh-What are you talking about? Are you stupid? Stupid, stupid!" Himawari: "You shouldn't call people stupid." Sakurako: "You're one to talk!" Sakurako: "Fine. Hurry up and help me study!" Himawari: "Oh, good. She wants to study now." Sakurako: "Huh? She's in a good mood now..." Sakurako: "What was she worrying about, anyway?" Himawari: "Sakurako, what's the answer to this question?" Sakurako: "It's not..." Sakurako: "boobs, is it?" Himawari: "What?" Ayano: "Huh?" Ayano: "This is surprisingly..." Ayano: "As long as I have it on, I should go for a walk. Not many people take this—" Kyoko: "Hey, it's Ayano!" Ayano: "T-Toshino Kyoko? What are you doing?" Kyoko: "I'm on my way home from Yui's place. I bought some comics, too." Kyoko: "Huh? Those are my clothes." Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "Yeah, they definitely are. I'm the one who sewed this ribbon on." Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "So the friend who took it was your mom, huh?" Ayano: "This is so embarrassing! I'm going to get changed!" Kyoko: "Wait, wait, wait! Who cares? You look good in them!" Ayano: "Really? I don't look weird?" Kyoko: "No, you look super cute! If you're free, let's stop by that park." Ayano: "Fine, then. Just for a bit." Kyoko: "There." Kyoko: "You look pretty good like that." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko, did you buy this to wear it?" Kyoko: "Yeah. I was going to wear it to an event since it looked like an outfit out of a comic, but it wasn't frilly enough." Ayano: "This is a cosplay costume?" Kyoko: "I'm glad, though! It looks good on you. It's basically Tarim Basin perfect!" Ayano: "Basically Tarim Basin perfect... Tarim... Tarim..." Ayano: "Um..." Ayano: "Don't worry about it. Keep making puns London." Kyoko: "Now you're trying to be considerate? Is she doing it subconsciously?" Ayano: "By the way, what kind of comics did you buy?" Kyoko: "Oh, right..." Kyoko: "The new Mirakurun." Ayano: "Is this..." Kyoko: "Yeah! I was trying to make this outfit. Awakened Mirakurun!" Kyoko: "Do you read comics?" Ayano: "A little, I guess. Like the four panel comics in the paper." Kyoko: "Oh, those?" Ayano: "Sometimes I read shojo comics." Kyoko: "Really?! Mirakurun's a shojo comic, too. Why don't you try reading it? You can borrow mine." Ayano: "You really do like it." Kyoko: "What? You don't have to laugh." Ayano: "Sorry, sorry..." Kyoko: "Sheesh!" Kyoko: "I'm thirsty. I'm going to get something to drink!" Kyoko: "What do you want? I'll treat you." Ayano: "Really?" Kyoko: "Yeah." Ayano: "Thanks. I'll have a lemon tea." Kyoko: "Got it. Red bean soup, right?" Ayano: "That's not even close." Kyoko: "I'm kidding. Red bean soup, right? Got it." Ayano: "Lemon tea!" Ayano: "Huh?" Ayano: "I just noticed, but is this..." Ayano: "A d-date?" Ayano: "Wh-What am I going to do?" Ayano: "Suddenly I feel nervous. I wish I hadn't noticed..." Kyoko: "Thanks for waiting." Kyoko: "Sorry. They didn't have red bean soup, so I got you lemon tea." Ayano: "Don't make me say it again." Ayano: "We were talking normally until a minute ago." Ayano: "It's just the two of us. I should work up the courage today." Ayano: "Um..." Kyoko: "Listen..." Ayano: "Wh-What?" Kyoko: "No, sorry. It wasn't important." Kyoko: "You go first." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko, what do you like besides comics?" Kyoko: "Well, I just do whatever comes to mind. Today I made pancakes at Yui's place." Ayano: "That sounds fun." Kyoko: "I know!" Kyoko: "Here." Ayano: "What is that?" Kyoko: "The cookies I baked at Yui's place." Kyoko: "You can have them!" Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "We made them together." Ayano: "Are you sure?" Kyoko: "Yeah." Ayano: "Thanks." Ayano: "What were you about to say?" Kyoko: "Forget it. It wasn't important." Ayano: "Now I'm even more curious." Kyoko: "It really wasn't important. I thought that cloud looked like" Kyoko: "Akari arching her body backwards." Ayano: "It really wasn't important..." Kyoko: "What do you like?" Ayano: "Taking baths, I guess." Ayano: "I like thinking in the tub." Kyoko: "Huh... In the tub, huh?" Ayano: "You're thinking about something stupid again, aren't you? I like collecting character merchandise, too." Kyoko: "Like what?" Ayano: "Like the jelly fish sisters." Kyoko: "The three of them stuck together, right?" Ayano: "Yeah, that." Kyoko: "I didn't know you liked that." Ayano: "It's too embarrassing to take anything to school..." Kyoko: "What? I wouldn't even be embarrassed about wearing a Mirakurun cosplay." Ayano: "You should be." Kyoko: "Uh, oh. I need to go home early today." Kyoko: "Thanks for hanging out with me." Ayano: "Sure." Kyoko: "Later." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Ayano: "Um, let's..." Ayano: "Never mind. It's nothing." Koyko: "Let's hang out together again!" Ayano: "Fine, if I have no choice!" Kyoko: "Take good care of those clothes." Ayano: "I will. Thanks for today. Maybe it's" Ayano: "important to challenge yourself sometimes." Tomoko: "What's wrong? Were you asleep?" Akane: "Oh, no... I left my pillow case out!" Akane: "I need to get it before Akari sees it..." Akane: "If she sees it..." Akari: "What is this?" Akane: "It's not what you think, Akari!" Akari: "This is a bit overbearing for me..." Akari: "From now on, I'm going to be staying at Yui-chan's place." Akari: "Bye..." Akane: "Akari, wait! Please!" Akane: "Akari!" Akane: "Just thinking about it makes my heart race..." Akari: "Sister, I love you." Akari: "I love you. I love you." Akane: "It's like magic. Just thinking about Akari's smile calmed me down so much..." Akane: "This is no time to relax! I'm about to lose that smile!" Akane: "Sorry, Tomoko..." Tomoko: "What?" Akane: "I'm leaving." Tomoko: "What? Are you not feeling well?" Akane: "I'm okay..." Akane: "I need to put my pillow case away!" Akane: "Please, Akari! Please still be at Yui-chan's place!" Akane: "She's home..." Akari: "Sister! Your lecture is already over?" Akane: "Yes." Akane: "Listen, Akari..." Akari: "Don't!" Akari: "Stay away! Stay away!" Akari: "Sister?" Akane: "I'm sorry. I'm the worst. I should just die..." Akari: "What?" Akane: "Now that you hate and reject me," Akane: "I..." Akari: "What are you talking about?" Akane: "You told me to stay away..." Akari: "That's not what I meant. Um, I made" Akari: "these." Akari: "My friend taught me how to make them." Akane: "Are those cookies?" Akari: "I wanted to thank you for being so nice to me." Akari: "Yui-chan helped me. I was going to wrap them, but you came home first." Akari: "Sorry if you don't like them." Akane: "I'm sure they're delicious." Akane: "My dear sister made them for me." Akari: "I love you. Hurry up and try them." Akane: "I will." Akane: "But first, could you go upstairs?" Akane: "They're delicious! You're amazing, Akari. These taste like something you'd buy at the store." Akari: "Really?" Akari: "That's good." Akari: "What? You're just eating one bite?" Akane: "It would be a waste to eat it all." Akane: "I'll eat it a bit at a time." Akari: "Oh, you." Mom: "Aya-chan?" Mom: "You're still not getting changed?" Ayano: "Just a little longer." Akari: "I'm off." Akari: "You're eating way too little at a time!" All: "Yuru Yuri Cross Review!" Chinatsu: "What is this?" Yui: "I'm not sure, but people in this world have all kinds of tastes." Chinatsu: "What strange tastes. But if it were one of Yui-senpai..." Yui: "Did you say something?" Chinatsu: "No, nothing at all!" Chinatsu: "The next episode is..." Yui: ""No Self-Awareness."" Chinatsu: "Some people have no self-awareness."

Sakurako: "Himawari, stop looking at me." Himawari: "You're the one who's staring too much." Sakurako: "No, I'm not!" Sakurako: "You self-conscious boob monster!" Himawari: "What did you call me?" Teacher: "Be quiet over there." Chiantsu: "Make me cute." Akari: "You're so cute, it wouldn't look right if I didn't." Chinatsu: "Oh, Akari-chan." Akari: "That looks good." Chinatsu: "I did a pretty good job, too. Want to see?" Akari: "What? Uh," Akari: "well..." Akari: "You can show me when you're finished." Chinatsu: "Now I'll do my best to color it." Akari: "Wait, Chinatsu-san! There aren't any parts on my face that are those colors!" Chinatsu: "Don't worry. Have faith in my artistic sense." Chinatsu: "Skin always looks better when it's silver." Akari: "Silver skin?" Sakurako: "Finished!" Himawari: "Those breasts are ridiculous! Don't you think that's too mean?" Sakurako: "You're worried about your huge boobs, right? If anything, you should be grateful." Sakurako: "Are you finished, Himawari?" Himawari: "Of course." Himawari: "It's my masterpiece." Sakurako: "Those breasts are ridiculous! That's way too mean!" Himawari: "Try not to react the same way I did. You're worried that your breasts are underdeveloped. If anything, you should be grateful." Sakurako: "Why, you... Give me that!" Himawari: "What are you doing?" Sakurako: "It's even more conspicuous if they don't look like the real thing! Give it to me so I can fix it!" Himawari: "Then you give me yours!" Teacher: "Quiet, you two. We're in class." Teacher: "Oh, nice drawings." Both: "What?" Teacher: "Both drawings are brimming with kindness. You always fight, but you actually hold each other dear." Sakurako: "Wh-What are you talking about, Azuma-sensei?" Himawari: "I agree! This is no joke." Himawari: "Come on, Sakurako. Fix those breasts so they look normal." Sakurako: "Fix yours, too!" Teacher: "Yoshikawa-san, you're incredible..." Teacher: "In many ways..." Chinatsu: "Oh, please. You're too kind, Azuma-sensei." Himawari: "There. A brand new brush. For some reason new notebooks and brushes make me nervous." Himawari: "Oh?" Sakurako: "This thick brush is hard to paint with..." Sakurako: "Looking good!" Sakurako: "What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?" Himawari: "No, it's nothing." Himawari: "By the way, how does that brush feel?" Sakurako: "This thing? I borrowed it. I didn't have the right brush. Thanks." Himawari: "I'm glad I could help..." Chinatsu: "It feels like it's missing something." Akari: "It's not coming along well?" Chinatsu: "I know! I should put a floral pattern on your skin!" Akari: "I don't know about that!" Akari: "I feel uneasy, but I really need to finish my own." Akari: "What should I do?" Akari: "I made her eyebrow super thick. It's too thick to hide." Akari: "I know. If I make the other one look the same, it might balance out." Akari: "Of course!" Chinatsu: "What's wrong?" Akari: "Um, nothing." Chiantsu: "Are you already finished?" Chinatsu: "Let me see." Akari: "I'm still working. It's not finished yet." Chinatsu: "I don't mind." Akari: "W-Wait! Hold on! There!" Chinatsu: "Why am I wearing a headband?" Akari: "Um..." Akari: "Because you always try so hard." Chinatsu: "Oh, I see. Yeah, it looks cute." Akari: "Thanks..." Sakurako: "You're spitting blood." Himawari: "Hey! What are you doing?" Sakurako: "Who cares? It's funny." Himawari: "Well, I find it embarrassing!" Sakurako: "Then..." Sakurako: "How about this?" Himawari: "That doesn't help anything!" Hiamwari: "Oh, for crying out loud. You're so careless..." Sakurako: "Hey! You just messed up my face, didn't you?" Himawari: "Um..." Sakurako: "Show me!" Hiamwari: "It's okay. It's not a problem." Himawari: "If anything, I've managed to preserve your privacy." Sakurako: "Hey!" Chinatsu: "Everyone's sneezing." Akari: "Is there a cold going around?" Chinatsu: "Just because it's still warm out doesn't mean we should let our guard down..." Himawari: "You need to shape up." Sakurako: "What? What exactly does that mean?" Himawari: "Well, be serious and strong..." Sakurako: "That's me." Himawari: "Quiet. For example..." Himawari: "Like the ideal Japanese woman." Sakurako: "What? No, no, no! What are you saying?" Himawari: "How about Sugiura-senpai?" Sakurako: "Oh, yeah. I think I get it." Himawari: "You should try to be like her." Sakurako: "Hello." Ayano: "Hello. That thing on your head... Why aren't you wearing any socks?" Sakurako: "I wore tights to be more like you, but they're so hot." Ayano: "Of course they are. It's still summer." Chitose: "Why are you copying Ayano-chan?" Himawari: "I advised her to shape up and try to be more like Sugiura-senpai." Sakurako: "That's why I wore tights to school!" Himawari: "No one told you to copy that." Ayano: "Not even I would wear them now..." Chitose: "Well, it can't hurt to copy everything. You might actually start to shape up." Sakurako: "That's right!" Chinatsu: "This one is cute." Akari: "It's fluffy." Kyoko: "Hey!" Akari: "Kyoko-chan, Yui-chan." Kyoko: "Boy, it's hot." Chinatsu: "It's not cooling down at all." Yui: "The forecast says it will be a little longer." Kyoko: "I like the heat, though." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai, you're always complaining about how hot it is." Kyoko: "Really?" Akari: "I want a dog." Kyoko: "That's quite the statement." Akari: "What?" Akari: "Lick my feet." Yui: "That's not what she meant." Chinatsu: "Why don't you get one?" Akari: "My mom told me we can't. But, I want to walk and nap and play with a dog." Chinatsu: "Dogs are nice, but I prefer cats." Yui: "Pets, huh? I wish I had one." Kyoko: "You do have one." Yui: "What? No I don't." Kyoko: "No, no." Yui: "You're my pet?" Chinatsu: "Jeez. Don't be so stupid!" Yui: "I know." Chiantsu: "I will be Yui-senpai's pet." Chinatsu: "Of course, my first choice is still being your girlfriend! But your pet is my second choice!" Yui: "You're okay with that?" Kyoko: "In other words, if I become Chinatsu-chan's pet..." Yui: "What are you talking about?" Akari: "Kyoko-chan, what kind of pet do you want?" Kyoko: "Snakes seem cool." Akari: "A snake!" Akari: "I saw someone with snakes wrapped around them on TV once." Kyoko: "Yeah. I want to do that." Akari: "Isn't it wrapped wrong?" Kyoko: "Like this, then?" Akari: "Can you breathe like that?" Kyoko: "This?" Akari: "Put some clothes on!" Kyoko: "There." Akari: "You're not wearing it, it's eating you!" Kyoko: "Nice commentary." Akari: "Sheesh." Sakurako: "There!" Himawari: "She's copying her physical appearance again..." Ayano: "There." Sakurako: "There." Ayano: "Chitose, could you get those forms?" Sakurako: "Chitose, could you get those forms?" Ayano: "Um..." Sakurako: "Don't mind me." Chitose: "Omuro-san seems like her little sister." Himawari: "Sugiura-senpai seems desperate." Sakurako: "What? What is it, Sugiura-senpa—" Sakurako: "Huh?" Sakurako: "Where did she go?" Kyoko: "Horses are nice, too." Kyoko: "It'd be cool to ride to school on a horse." Yui: "Really?" Chinatsu: "You can't." Kyoko: "What?" Chinatsu: "Because horses suit Yui-senpai the most." Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "I'd like a tiger or a lion, too." Yui: "What are you, an animal tamer?" Chinatsu: "None of those are realistic options." Akari: "Yui-chan, do you want anything?" Yui: "Tropical fish, maybe." Yui: "I don't know much about them, but I'd like some." Chinatsu: "That sounds nice." Yui: "I'd buy a big aquarium..." Kyoko: "And I'd go inside." Yui: "Why did you go in there? Anyway, though, I couldn't actually keep them." Kyoko: "Okay!" Kyoko: "The Amusement Club should get a pet! We'll start with a dog!" Yui: "That's definitely not possible." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko, your form." Kyoko: "I don't think anyone would find out." Yui: "A large dog? At least get a small one." Chinatsu: "You can't help what can't be done." Kyoko: "Aw..." Chinatsu: "Why don't we have tea?" Akari: "Sure." Chcinatsu: "We have snacks today, too." Ayano: "I didn't know being copied would be this embarrassing. I can't handle all that attention." Himawari: "Even though you're the student council vice president?" Sakurako: "Don't mind me. I know. I'll share some of my mental fortitude with you. Here!" Himawari: "What are you going to do if you make her stupid?" Sakurako: "What did you say? Well, you're just a boob monster!" Himawari: "There it is. Sugiura-senpai isn't so quick to pick fights." Sakurako: "Oh, right. Um... You shouldn't use that kind of language at... at... At all xylitol!" Chitose: "Oh, that pun reminds me. We don't have all the forms yet." Ayano: "Why did that remind you?" Chitose: "Toshino-san hasn't turned hers in yet." Ayano: "Well, it can't be helped. Toshino Kyoko is always so careless. I don't have the time to be constantly looking after her. B-But I don't have a reason not to. I could go get it today—" Sakurako: "Me! I'll go!" Ayano: "Huh?" Sakurako: "You always seem so busy, so I'll get it this time." Ayano: "What?" Sakurako: "Feel free to rest. I'm off!" Akari: "That's delicious." Chinatsu: "I like these." Yui: "What are you doing?" Kyoko: "I made a dog house." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, that's amazing." Yui: "It's needlessly well-made." Chinatsu: "This is the only thing you do well." Kyoko: "Someone get inside." Chinatsu: "What? No way." Yui: "You go inside." Kyoko: "What? You're no fun." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, do you want a snack?" Kyoko: "Yeah!" Kyoko: "But I went through the trouble of making it..." Kyoko: "Arf, arf!" Akari: "A dog." Kyoko: "Arf, arf!" Akari: "Shake." Akari: "What? Why are you barking at me so much?" Sakurako: "Toshino Kyoko... senpai." Chinatsu: "What's wrong?" Akari: "It's Sakurako-chan." Sakurako: "Hey. Toshino-senpai, I'm here for your form." Kyoko: "Well done, well done. Have these crackers as a reward." Sakurako: "All right!" Sakurako: "What is this?" Yui: "Did you forget again? Our teacher mentioned it this morning." Kyoko: "It entered the right ear, and left out the right." Yui: "It didn't even make it through your head." Kyoko: "But Kyoko-chan is ready to hand in her form anytime." Yui: "It's still blank. Fill it in." Kyoko: "Okay..." Sakurako: "Bark!" Sakurako: "Bark! Bark, bark!" Kyoko: "Shake hands." Sakurako: "Bark!" Kyoko: "Good girl." Himawari: "I'm sorry." Ayano: "It's all right..." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, cheer up." Sakurako: "I have returned!" Sakurako: "I have collected her form. Well? Am I more like Sugiura-senpai now?" Sakurako: "Not quite, huh? What else can I do to be like Sugiura-senpai?" Sakurako: "I'll eat pudding!" Ayano: "What?" Ayano: "W-Wait, Omuro-san!" Sakurako: "It's okay. I'll split it in half like you always do." Sakurako: "Huh? It's empty." Ayano: "What?" Sakurako: "Aw..." Ayano: "I put the pudding in the refrigerator this morning. Why?" Himawari: "Senpai." Himawari: "I thought this might happen." Ayano: "Thank you, thank you!" Sakurako: "What should I do next?" Himawari: "Sakurako, um... I think you were plenty composed today." Sakurako: "What? Really?" Himawari: "Yes, so..." Sakurako: "Then I'd better keep it up, starting tomorrow!" Ayano: "O-Omuro-san, unfortunately, there's nothing else for me to teach you. Tomorrow, you should" Ayano: "behave as you always do..." Sakurako: "Thank you, Senpai!" Chitose: "By the way, did you learn anything today?" Sakurako: "Um..." Sakurako: "Ponytails and tights!" All: "Nothing has changed!" Sakurako: "Also, I seemed a lot like Sugiura-senpai when I shouted Toshino Kyoko." Himawari: "Really? That's great." Kyoko: "Sugiura Ayano!" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko." Sakurako: "Toshino Kyoko... senpai." Kyoko: "Sorry. I forgot to write my name on my form." Sakurako: "I'll go get it right—" Ayano: "Unbelievable. How careless of you to forget to write your name." Kyoko: "Don't be that way." Ayano: "What? Hey! Get away from me!" Chinatsu: "Coming." Chinatsu: "What?" Kyoko: "Hey." Chinatsu: "You're too early." Kyoko: "I thought you'd be happy to see me sooner." Chinatsu: "Yeah, yeah." Chinatsu: "I'd say make yourself at home, but I see that you already have." Chinatsu: "Wait here until Yui-senpai and the others arrive. I'm going to buy snacks and drinks." Kyoko: "I'll help." Chinatsu: "Don't worry about it." Kyoko: "You're so nice. I'd like rum raisin!" Chinatsu: "And you're not considerate enough." Chinatsu: "I'm off." Kyoko: "Okay." Kyoko: "Pow." Kyoko: "This is definitely Chinatsu-chan's room." Kyoko: "What is this?" Tomoko: "Chinatsu." Tomoko: "Oh, you're already here." Kyoko: "Yes." Tomoko: "That drawing..." Tomoko: "Oh, it's Chinatsu's most recent work." Tomoko: "This one is cute, too." Kyoko: "What? Y-Yeah, it sure is." Kyoko: "Um, are you Chinatsu-chan's sister?" Tomoko: "Yes." Kyoko: "Thank you for your hospitality!" Tomoko: "Oh, please. You don't need to kneel. Are you the cool older student Chinatsu's always talking about?" Kyoko: "Yes." Tomoko: "I thought it might be you." Kyoko: "Aw, shucks." Tomoko: "But you look slightly different from what I imagined. I thought you'd be more aloof." Kyoko: "It's just your imagination." Kyoko: "By the way, what does Chinatsu-chan say about me?" Tomoko: "Well... "She's cool, dependable, and calm."" Tomoko: ""She's absolutely wonderful," is what she always tells me." Kyoko: "That's definitely me." Tomoko: "I knew it." Kyoko: "Yes, definitely!" Tomoko: "I know. Would you like some tea?" Tomoko: "I happen to have a tart." Kyoko: "What? A tart?" Kyoko: "...You say?" Tomoko: "Have some." Kyoko: "That looks yummy..." Kyoko: "It looks quite delicious. Thanks for the food." Tomoko: "Go ahead." Kyoko: "It's delicious..." Tomoko: "Is it good?" Kyoko: "Yes!" Tomoko: "It's nothing. As her sister, I'm so happy Chinatsu-chan is blessed with wonderful upperclassmen and friends." Tomoko: "I hope you'll continue to be her friend." Kyoko: "So do I." Kyoko: "Yui sure is amazing. She praises her like crazy. Maybe I should have tried to be a cooler upperclassman, too." Kyoko: "Hey, Chinatsu-chan." Kyoko: "Did you study hard today? I bought a pool full of Boronamin C for you, Chinatsu-chan. Heave, ho!" Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai, I had no idea you were so gorgeous, elegant, and dependable!" Kyoko: "Stop. You're embarrassing me." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai, you're so wonderful!" Kyoko: "I'll try acting like that from now on. That will send her opinion of me through the roof." Kyoko: "Thanks for the food." Kyoko: "It was very delicious." Tomoko: "I'm glad you enjoyed it." Chinatsu: "I'm home." Chinatsu: "Come in." Both: "Excuse the intrusion." Kyoko: "Welcome back." Akari: "Kyoko-chan." Kyoko: "You came together?" Chinatsu: "I ran into them nearby." Tomoko: "Welcome." Akari: "Hello." Tomoko: "My, my, my! Are you Akari-chan?" Akari: "Are you Chinatsu-chan's sister?" Akari: "Nice to meet you. I'm Akaza Akari." Tomoko: "You're just too cute! You look just like your sister!" Tomoko: "Which means... You must be Kyoko-san." Yui: "What?" Tomoko: "Thank you for looking after Chinatsu." Yui: "Um..." Tomoko: "Chinatsu tells me you can be reckless, but you're a cheerful, fun, and exhilarating upperclassman." Chinatsu: "Sister! What are you talking about?" Tomoko: "There's no need to be shy." Chinatsu: "Stop! Don't do it!" Tomoko: "She was so happy to tell me about you after you went camping the other day." Chinatsu: "Sister!" Tomoko: "I hope you'll continue spending time with her." Yui: "Um, I..." Tomoko: "What?" Kyoko: "I hope we can keep being friends!" Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "Sheesh! Stop! You're being annoying! Yui-senpai, help!" Tomoko: "Huh? What?" Tomoko: "Oh?" Both: "Yuru Yuri Cross Review!" Kyoko: "I think it's pretty well-made, if I say so myself." Chinatsu: "I admit it's impressive, but a dog house you can't keep outside..." Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan, join me inside." Chinatsu: "No." Kyoko: "What? So mean." Chinatsu: "The next episode is..." Kyoko: ""The Night Will Connect Their Thoughts.""

Kyoko: "All right!" Ayano: "Again?" Chitose: "Don't worry about it, Ayano-chan." Kyoko: "I won." Yui: "You do use a dirty strategy." Ayano: "What? Dirty?" Kyoko: "Should we take baths soon?" Yui: "Sure. Who's going first?" Chitose: "Why don't we go two at a time? It'll go faster that way." Kyoko: "I always say that, but Yui's too shy." Yui: "Well, it's just..." Yui: "nothing like a hot spring..." Chitose: "You're shyer than you look, huh? I always take baths with Chizuru, so I'm used to it." Kyoko: "Yeah, you just have to get used to it." Chitose: "You don't mind, right, Ayano-chan?" Ayano: "What? I, um..." Kyoko: "Of course she doesn't mind. After all, she's my rival." Ayano: "Of course!" Chitose: "That has nothing to do with rivals." Yui: "If Ayano wants to, I guess I don't have a choice." Kyoko: "All right! Now we have more time to play." Yui: "Ayano and Chitose, you guys can go first." Chitose: "You don't mind?" Yui: "Of course not. You're our guests." Kyoko: "I'll get some pajamas and towels for you." Ayano: "Do you live here?" Kyoko: "Yeah, right." Kyoko: "I don't live here yet." Yui: "So you're going to eventually?" Kyoko: "Here you go." Ayano: "Are these the costumes we wore on our camping trip?" Kyoko: "You can keep them so you can wear them again." Chitose: "Really? I'm happy since I liked mine." Ayano: "Uh..." Ayano: "I..." Kyoko: "You looked good in yours. I hope you'll wear it again." Ayano: "Well, I didn't bring any pajamas. I guess you might as well give it to me! Give it to me Italy, that is!" Ayano: "Thanks." Sakurako: "Chirp, chirp." Akari: "Everyone looks so cute." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai said you could keep them." Sakurako: "Really? All right! I'm going to wear mine at home." Himawari: "It's a little embarrassing, though." Sakurako: "Don't you think a rabbit suit is too cute for you?" Himawari: "Do you remember saying the same thing before?" Sakurako: "What? Really?" Ayano: "I'm impressed that Funami-san lives by herself." Chitose: "I'm always with Chizuru even at home, so I can't imagine being on my own." Ayano: "It looks like Toshino Kyoko comes by to hang out all the time, though." Chitose: "Are you sure you're not jealous?" Ayano: "Sheesh! What are you talking about, Chitose?" Kyoko: "Excuse me. I'll leave the towels out here." Chitose: "Thanks." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, you'd better try harder." Ayano: "Chitose..." Ayano: "Her head's an onion." Kyoko: "An email?" Yui: "Yeah, from Chinatsu-chan." Kyoko: "Where is she having her sleepover?" Yui: "At Akari's house." Yui: "Look." Kyoko: "They look like they're having fun, too." Kyoko: "Let's go crash their party." Yui: "There'd be too many of us. We'd be bothering her family." Kyoko: "Fine, then. Then you can attach a sexy photo of me to your response." Yui: "What's sexy about that?" Kyoko: "How about this?" Kyoko: "How's this?" Ayano: "We're done." Kyoko: "Oh, no. You saw me." Ayano: "What are you doing?" Yui: "We were taking a picture to attach to an email." Kyoko: "A sexy picture." Ayano: "What? Sexy?" Kyoko: "Wouldn't you be surprised if you got a sexy picture of me?" Yui: "It sounds like something you'd do. I doubt she'd be surprised." Kyoko: "No way!" Yui: "Because of your usual behavior." Kyoko: "What do you think would surprise them then?" Chitose: "Well..." Chitose: "A picture of Funami-san with a big smile?" Ayano: "That might be surprising." Kyoko: "We took a picture of that before. I'll show you some—" Yui: "Don't you dare!" Kyoko: "O-Okay..." Yui: "Was the water okay?" Chitose: "It was perfect." Ayano: "What do you do when you're alone, Funami-san?" Yui: "I mostly play games. But I don't think I'm alone that often." Ayano: "Because someone over there is always around." Yui: "Yup." Kyoko: "I still think we should send a sexy one." Yui: "You still haven't given up on that? Your idea of sexy is weird, anyway." Kyoko: "What?" Kyoko: "Then show me how it's done." Yui: "Well, for example..." Yui: "Something more like this." Yui: "Kyoko!" Kyoko: "Send!" Yui: "Hey!" Sakurako: "This doggy is cute." Akari: "I want to get a dog someday." Himawari: "They're cute." Sakurako: "I want one, too, but I've already got my big sister and Hanako." Himawari: "Do you understand what you're saying?" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai's not responding..." Akari: "China—" Akari: "It's from Kyoko-chan." Sakurako: "What's wrong?" Akari: "It's nothing! Nothing..." Himawari: "Yoshikawa-san, are you all right?" Chinatsu: "Yeah, I'm fine..." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, I'm sure Yui-chan can't respond because she's in the bath or something." Chinatsu: "Oh, right... Yeah, you're right. Yeah." Sakurako: "What should we do next?" Yui: "Sheesh... Who would actually send that?" Kyoko: "I only sent it to Akari, so it's not a problem." Yui: "How is that not a problem? But I guess this isn't" Yui: "so bad once in a while." Kyoko: "Yeah. This is our first sleepover with Ayano and Chitose." Yui: "There's that too, but..." Yui: "Um, the bath..." Sakurako: "We're out." Akari: "I'll bring some more juice." Himawari: "Thank you." Akari: "Is orange okay?" Chinatsu: "Yeah." Sakurako: "Hey." Sakurako: "Let's surprise her." Both: "What?" Sakurako: "Let's do something to make Akari-chan scream in surprise when she comes back." Himawari: "I can't think of anything on the spot." Tomoko: "Excuse the intrusion." Akari: "Good evening, Chinatsu-chan's sister." Tomoko: "Akari-chan." Tomoko: "Chinatsu is staying with you tonight, right? I'm actually staying in your sister's room, too." Akari: "What? Really?" Tomoko: "Yes. We're working on an assignment together." Akane: "Don't mind us. Have fun playing, okay?" Akari: "Okay." Tomoko: "I brought these donuts for you." Akari: "Wow, really?" Tomoko: "Yeah, you can share them." Akari: "Thank you." Sakurako: "What about pretending to be dead?" Himawari: "That's so childish." Sakurako: "Then we could all hide." Chiantsu: "There's nowhere to hide." Sakurako: "There's the ceiling!" Sakurako: "It'll be cool, like ninjas!" Sakurako: "But I don't know how they stick on the ceiling." Himawari: "You were serious?" Akari: "Donuts, donuts, do-do-do-donuts." Chinatsu: "What are we doing?" Sakurako: "Uh, um... Let's pretend time is stopped!" Chiantsu: "What?" Himawari: "What kind of idea is that?" Akari: "Thanks for waiting. Um," Akari: "Chinatsu-chan's sister gave us donuts..." Akari: "Himawari-chan? Sakurako-chan?" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan?" Akari: "Not even that worked! What should I do? Uh, um..." Akari: "I don't really want to do this, but..." Akari: "There!" Sakurako: "Chinatsu-chan loses! Time for a punishment game!" Akari: "Huh? What?" Chinatsu: "No one told me about that rule." Sakurako: "We wanted to surprise you, Akari-chan." Akari: "Oh... So that's what you were doing." Chinatsu: "Anyway, Akari-chan..." Chinatsu: "Tell me more about that picture." Akari: "Her eyes are scary!" Akari: "I'll explain later, okay?" Himawari: "Anyway, it's hard to surprise someone." Akari: "I was surprised." Sakurako: "You were more bewildered than surprised." Akari: "I want to be on the surprising side, too. I'm always the one being surprised." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai's good at that kind of thing." Sakurako: "Maybe I'll become her apprentice." Himawari: "Please don't." Chinatsu: "I'm pretty confident most things can't surprise me." Akari: "You do seem like you're not easily surprised." Chinatsu: "Right?" Chinatsu: "I'm going to the bathroom." Akari: "Do you know where it is?" Chinatsu: "Yeah, I'm okay." Akane: "Oh, good evening." Sakurako: "That was shocking!" Himawari: "Did she see a ghost?" Tomoko: "There." Akane: "Are you finished with your report?" Tomoko: "Yes. I rushed a little since you finished so quickly." Akane: "You didn't have to rush. There's plenty of time." Tomoko: "That's why. I wanted to talk a lot." Akane: "There is that, too." Akane: "Do you want something to drink?" Akane: "Is tea all right?" Tomoko: "Yes, thank you." Tomoko: "Smells nice." Tomoko: "This is where Akane-chan always wakes up..." Tomoko: "I nearly died. This must be Akane-chan's magic, too." Tomoko: "Oh?" Tomoko: "Is this a ring?" Akane: "The tea is ready. Don't touch that!" Tomoko: "I'm sorry for touching your things." Akane: "No, it's all right. I'm the one who's sorry." Akane: "I spoke harshly because it's so important." Tomoko: "An important ring?" Tomoko: "Is it from her lover? Um, Akane-chan! Uh, who gave you that ring?" Akane: "This is the first thing" Akane: "my sister ever gave me." Tomoko: "You mean Akari-chan?" Akane: "Yes." Akari: "Sister!" Akari: "Thanks for everything. This is for you." Akane: "What?" Akane: "For me?" Akari: "Yeah." Akane: "Akari..." Akane: "Thank you, Akari! I love you!" Akari: "I love you, too!" Akane: "It's just a toy, but it's very important to me." Tomoko: "I see. That's good, then." Akane: "Good?" Tomoko: "Oh, it's nothing." Akane: "Come in." Akari: "We're going to sleep now." Akane: "Make sure you sleep under the covers." Akari: "We will. Good night." Tomoko: "Good night." Tomoko: "Akari-chan's so cute. She's so polite, too." Akane: "But she still acts like a baby. When she was little, she wouldn't go to sleep unless I was sleeping next to her." Tomoko: "What? That's so cute!" Tomoko: "Do you have any pictures from back then?" Akane: "Yes!" Tomoko: "Akari-chan's so tiny." Tomoko: "Th-This is... Akane-chan's so cute!" Akane: "Back then, we always went out and took baths together..." Tomoko: "I need to burn this into my memory!" Akane: "Tomoko, are you listening?" Tomoko: "Yes, of course." Akane: "What was Chinatsu-chan like?" Tomoko: "She was needy, too. She'd always follow me around." Akane: "Little sisters are so cute." Tomoko: "I know. But, lately I've been thinking big sisters are nice, too..." Akane: "You do seem more like a little sister." Akane: "I just want to protect you." Tomoko: "Really?" Akane: "Yes." Tomoko: "I want Akane-chan to protect me!" Akane: "Wow, look at the time. Shall we go to bed?" Tomoko: "Yeah, okay." Akane: "Good night." Tomoko: "Good night. Akari-chan has had Akane-chan by her side since she was born. They've spent all their time together. I'm jealous!" Tomoko: "If I were Akane-chan's little sister..." Tomoko: "What am I thinking?" Tomoko: "But, there's nothing wrong with dreaming about it." Akane: "Tomoko?" Tomoko: "What?" Akane: "You can't sleep?" Tomoko: "Um, no." Akane: "It is a bit cold today." Tomoko: "Akane-chan?" Akane: "I only do this for my little sister, you know." Akane: "So today is special." Tomoko: "I'm so blessed." Akane: "Tomoko?" Tomoko: "What, Akane-chan?" Akane: "It's pretty warm under the covers now." Tomoko: "You're right." Akane: "I'm going back to the—" Tomoko: "Oh, um..." Tomoko: "I'm still cold after all." Akane: "Tomoko can be surprisingly needy, too." Akari: "We're off." Sakurako: "Going to school from Akari-chan's place feels so strange." Chiantsu: "Yeah." Chinatsu: "Himawari-chan, you look tired. Are you okay?" Sakurako: "She's fine. She's always like this. We've got PE first period, right? We'd better hurry." Akari: "Sakurako-chan, school is this way." Sakurako: "What?" Teacher: "Next. On your marks..." Teacher: "Get set..." Sakurako: "It's PE, and I'm bored." Akari: "We did finish first." Chinatsu: "We're towards the end, so we're not going for a while." Himawari: "I'd like to get this over with." Sakurako: "Himawari, you're depressed because you're bad at sports." Himawari: "That's right. What's wrong with that?" Chinatsu: "Our horizontal bar test is next week, right?" Akari: "Yeah, we're doing back hip circles." Sakurako: "What's wrong? Even you can handle back hip circles, right?" Himawari: "Of course. My body's just a little cold." Sakurako: "It is a little cold when we're sitting still. Okay!" Chinatsu: "What is she doing?" Himawari: "Probably something stupid again." Sakurako: "And one more here." Sakurako: "It's done. Write your names wherever you want." Chinatsu: "What is this lottery for?" Sakurako: "Today's lucky color fortune." Himawari: "Sakurako's fortunes..." Sakurako: "They're always right." Akari: "I wonder what my color is." Sakurako: "I'll take the one left on the end." Sakurako: "Akari-chan, we'll start with you." Sakurako: "Tada!" Himawari: "Firewood..." Chinatsu: "Firewood?" Akari: "Firewood color?" Sakurako: "It's purple. Purple! Can't you guys read? Fine, then." Sakurako: "Chinatsu-chan, you're next." Himawari: "We don't need background music." Sakurako: "Okay." Sakurako: "Chinatsu-chan's lucky color is... Tada!" All: "Approximate color?" Akari: "Is that like approximately red or approximately yellow?" Himawari: "That's too broad." Himawari: "Approximate color... Approximate..." Himawari: "Did you mean orange?" Sakurako: "What are you talking about? That's what I wrote." Chinatsu: "No, you didn't!" Sakurako: "Himawari, it's your turn." Himawari: "That's enough." Sakurako: "Okay." Sakurako: "Himawari, this is yours." Sakurako: "Tada!" Himawari: "So she can write red." Sakurako: "That's the face you make when you make fun of me." Himawari: "I'm impressed you could tell. You need to study your kanji more." Sakurako: "What? Where did that come from?" Himawari: "Purple and orange." Sakurako: "They're so detailed." Himawari: "No, they're not." Sakurako: "Finally, there's my lucky color." Sakurako: "This one must be right!" Sakurako: "Peach color!" Himawari: "Peach uses the tree radical." Sakurako: "What?" Sakurako: "I didn't think I was this bad..." Himawari: "I'm glad you understand now." Sakurako: "But everyone has their strengths and weaknesses." Himawari: "Don't act like it can't be helped." Sakurako: "But you're not good at sports, right?" Himawari: "That can't be helped." Sakurako: "No fair!" Chinatsu: "Can you write green?" Sakurako: "What?" Sakurako: "Sure I can." Sakurako: "See?" Chinatsu: "Is that your final answer?" Sakurako: "What? I got it wrong. Let's see..." Sakurako: "This is my final answer." Chinatsu: "The first way was right." Sakurako: "What? No trick questions!" Chinatsu: "There was nothing tricky about it." Sakurako: "No fair!" Akari: "Your name uses some hard characters, though." Sakurako: "I know. Learning them was really hard. This is the "sakura" in Sakurako, right? That's when I came up with the Omuro memorization technique! If you break it down," Sakurako: "you get "tree," "clam," "clam," and "woman," so..." Sakurako: "I remembered it as tree-clawing lady." Chinatsu: "What?" Himawari: "What kind of monster is that?" Sakurako: "Scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch... Scratch!" Both: "Yuru Yuri Cross Review!" Akari: "You get a discount if you go as sisters." Sakurako: "But my sister is lazy, and I have to use my allowance if I go with Hanako." Akari: "I go with my sister all the time." Sakurako: "The next episode is..." Akari: ""The Girl Falls Into Darkness."" Sakurako: "Falls to the dark side?" Akari: "What does falling to the dark side mean?"

Ayano: "That should do it for today." Chitose: "We finished that pretty quickly." Sakurako: "Excuse me!" Sakurako: "I have plans with my family, so I'm leaving early." Himawari: "Oh, really?" Sakurako: "We're having okonomiyaki." Himawari: "Don't scavenge for food on the way home." Sakurako: "Are you making fun of me?" Sakurako: "Well, excuse me." Chitose: "Good work." Sakurako: "Thanks." Ayano: "What's wrong, Furutani-san?" Himawari: "I am distressed." Himawari: "My back hip circle test is tomorrow." Ayano: "You can't do back hip circles?" Himawari: "I talked to Sakurako about it, but..." Sakurako: "What? You can't do back hip circles?" Himawari: "I tried talking to Akaza-san and Yoshikawa-san, but..." Akari: "It's okay!" Chinatsu: "Do your best!" Sakurako: "What are you guys doing? You're excluding me?" Himawari: "Either way..." Himawari: "Please! Teach me how to do back hip circles!" Ayano: "I don't mind, but I'm not sure I'm the best teacher." Himawari: "The smallest advice helps!" Chitose: "I don't think I can do back hip circles, either." Ayano: "Can you, president?" Chitose: "I know! Let's ask Toshino-san and Funami-san for help." Ayano: "Huh? What?" Kyoko: "Your back hip circle training starts now!" Kyoko: "Let's start practicing." Ayano: "Hey! It's not me!" Yui: "We came without telling Akari and the others." Himawari: "Thank you." Chinatsu: "So they're teaching Himawari-chan how to do back hip circles." Akari: "We shouldn't bother them. Should we go home?" Chinatsu: "Yeah." Yui: "The trick to doing back hip circles is first," Yui: "Like this." Chitose: "I'm impressed." Kyoko: "Woo, Yui-senpai!" Yui: "You try it." Himawari: "Okay." Yui: "Don't worry about it. Try imagining yourself kicking up towards the top of your head." Himawari: "It's no use..." Kyoko: "Don't give up, Himacchan." Kyoko: "You have my support." Yui: "Your face is a weird color." Yui: "Let's try it again. I'll support you this time." Himawari: "Okay..." Himawari: "I did it." Yui: "Just like that. Try doing it yourself this time." Himawari: "Okay." Kyoko: "Keep going. Believe in yourself." Yui: "Can't you help at least a little?" Himawari: "I need to try harder. I'd be letting my seniors down if I gave up now." Ayano: "You can do it, Furutani-san." Himawari: "Okay. There!" Yui: "Kick higher!" Kyoko: "Go, go, Himacchan! Fight, fight, Himacchan!" Himawari: "There!" Himawari: "One more time... There!" Teacher: "The back hip circle test will now begin." Chinatsu: "It didn't work..." Akari: "Will she be okay?" Teacher: "Next, Omuro-san." Sakurako: "Here!" Sakurako: "Here I go!" Akari: "Wow, amazing!" Chinatsu: "We knew you could do it, Sakurako-chan." Sakurako: "What do you think of Sakurako-chan's gorgeous back hip circle, Himawari? Were you watching?" Akari: "It's nearly time..." Chinatsu: "Yeah..." Teacher: "Next, Furutani-san." Himawari: "Here..." Sakurako: "Why do you look so gloomy? Don't tell me you can't do back hip circles." Himawari: "What?" Akari: "Wait, Sakurako-chan!" Sakurako: "I'm right, huh?" Sakurako: "It's because of those, right? You can't do it because your boobs are too heavy." Sakurako: "Just kidding." Himawari: "I did it!" Akari: "All right!" Chinatsu: "That was a beautiful back hip circle!" Sakurako: "Hey!" Himawari: "Thank you. It's all thanks to you, Sakurako." Sakurako: "Good for you." Ayano: "I wonder if Furutani-san was all right..." Ayano: "Excuse me, Toshino Kyoko. Classes are already—" Ayano: "Ouch..." Ayano: "I ripped it off!" Yui: "Kyoko, let's go to the club room." Yui: "What's wrong?" Kyoko: "Huh? Are classes over already?" Kyoko: "Hey, Ayano." Kyoko: "Is the student council meeting today?" Ayano: "I-Indeed it is!" Kyoko: "I see." Kyoko: "Work hard. See you tomorrow." Yui: "We don't have school tomorrow." Kyoko: "Bye-bye, you two." Yui: "Later." Ayano: "Sure..." Ayano: "What should I do?" Ayano: "Two?" Chitose: "Ayano-chan, the student council—" Ayano: "Chitose! How long have you been there?" Chitose: "What? I just got here... Did something happen?" Ayano: "I-It's nothing. Could you go on ahead?" Himawari: "I hope you'll help me next time, too." Sakurako: "No way! That really hurt!" Chitose: "Ayano-chan." Himawari: "Sugiura-senpai! Thanks to you, I did it!" Ayano: "Really? That's great, Furutani-san." Himawari: "Thank you so much!" Chitose: "What's going on with Ayano-chan?" Chitose: "Could it be?" Ayano: "There's something I've always wanted to tell you." Kyoko: "Ayano, I know. We don't need words anymore." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko..." Chitose: "That must be what she's worried about." Chitose: "Is there anything I can do?" Ayano: "Chitose." Chitose: "What's wrong? If there's anything I can do, I'll do it. You can tell me anything." Ayano: "Thank you. The truth is, I..." Ayano: "I..." Chitose: "What?" Yui: "Are you missing something today?" Kyoko: "Huh?" Chinatsu: "Now that you mention it..." Akari: "I wonder what it is. What's missing?" Kyoko: "Huh." All: "Her head!" Kyoko: "How rude!" Chitose: "You scared me. So you accidentally took off her ribbon." Ayano: "This is no laughing matter! What should I do?" Chitose: "Toshino-san might be looking for her ribbon right now." Chitose: "Let's go return it." Ayano: "But, I took another person's property," Ayano: "What if she hates me now?" Chitose: "Ayano-chan, is the one you love" Chitose: "Be confident." Ayano: "Thank you, Chitose." Kyoko: "You're right! It's missing! My ribbon number four!" Yui: "This is the fourth time you've lost it?" Akari: "I didn't notice." Chinatsu: "Me neither." Chitose: "Hello." Kyoko: "What's up?" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko..." Ayano: "Um, here..." Kyoko: "Hey! Ribbon number four!" Kyoko: "Why do you have this?" Ayano: "The truth is..." Kyoko: "So that's what happened?" Ayano: "I'm really sorry." Kyoko: "Don't worry about it. Anyway, did you get hurt when you tripped?" Ayano: "No." Kyoko: "Good." Kyoko: "As long as you're here, have some snacks. Chinatsu-chan, do we have anything else?" Chinatsu: "There are cookies in there." Kyoko: "Roger that." Kyoko: "Whoops..." Yui: "Akari!" Ayano: "Yesterday was a crazy day." Chitose: "It sure was." Chitose: "I wasn't expecting that to happen." Ayano: "Seriously. I was surprised." Chitose: "And Toshino-san doesn't hate you." Ayano: "Please, Chitose. Don't make fun of me." Chitose: "You don't need to be embarrassed." Ayano: "Chitose, do you prefer this one or this one?" Chitose: "Well, I think I like this one." Ayano: "Why?" Chitose: "I thought that's what Toshino-san would say." Ayano: "What? Why are you bringing up Toshino Kyoko?" Chitose: "You should put on some new clothes and go out with Toshino-san." Kyoko: "Are those new clothes?" Kyoko: "Did you buy them specifically for today's date?" Ayano: "Sheesh. Don't make me say it." Kyoko: "You look great." Kyoko: "I like them." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko..." Chitose: "So nice..." Ayano: "Oh, Chitose." Ayano: "But this certainly is cute. Thanks, Chitose." Chitose: "No problem." Ayano: "I'd like this, please." Employee: "Just this one?" Ayano: "What's wrong?" Chitose: "Nothing. I'm not very good at picking out clothes for myself, so I'm having trouble deciding." Ayano: "I know what you mean. I always end up picking the same kinds of clothes." Chcitose: "You, too?" Ayano: "I know. To thank you for earlier, this time I'll choose something that will look good on you." Chitose: "Really? You sure?" Ayano: "Of course." Chitose: "I've never had someone pick out clothes for me before." Chitose: "Is it hard?" Ayano: "It's not that it's hard. I'm just having so much fun picking out cute clothes for you." Ayano: "Sorry for keeping you waiting. Are you bored?" Chitose: "Not at all." Ayano: "Then give me another minute." Chitose: "Ayano-chan seems so lively." Ayano: "Hey, look at this." Ayano: "How about this?" Chitose: "What a wonderful dress." Chitose: "But you think it'll look good on me? Isn't it too cute?" Ayano: "It'll look great. Let's try it on." Chitose: "O-Okay..." Ayano: "Are you finished changing?" Chitose: "Ayano-chan." Ayano: "You look great! This is amazing, Chitose. It's so cute!" Chitose: "Really? You don't think I look weird?" Ayano: "You look really great." Chitose: "Ayano-chan chose this dress for me." Ayano: "Sorry for getting so excited." Ayano: "If you don't like it, we can pick something else." Chitose: "No, I'm getting this. Thanks, Ayano-chan!" Kyoko: "Huh? You're both here?" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Kyoko: "Oh? Chitose seems different from usual." Yui: "You're right. It's cute." Chitose: "Really? Thanks." Chitose: "Ayano-chan picked this out for me." Yui: "Really? It looks good." Kyoko: "Ayano, Ayano!" Kyoko: "I bet this would look good on you." Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "Look. It even has a ribbon." Ayano: "You don't have to tell me. I already bought it. Chitose just picked out the same clothes for me." Kyoko: "What? You mean you chose for each other? I want to do that..." Kyoko: "Hey, Yui. Pick something you think would look good on me." Ayano: "She likes it?" Kyoko: "Way to go, Yui. You've got good fashion sense." Yui: "Right?" Kyoko: "Ayano and Chitose were both so cute." Yui: "Let's do our homework." Kyoko: "If I had more money and a bigger house and were famous and powerful," Yui: "Then you'd better study hard and become an important person." Kyoko: "Someday I'll make you wear lots of sexy and cute clothes, Yui." Yui: "Yeah, yeah. I look forward to it." Kyoko: "I don't get it." Kyoko: "I want to give up." Yui: "Hey, it hasn't even been five minutes. What don't you understand?" Kyoko: "The test material." Yui: "All that?" Kyoko: "Sheesh!" Yui: "Jeez..." Employee A: "Welcome." Employee A: "Just one?" Hanako: "Two more are coming later." Employee A: "Have a seat over here. Let me know once you're ready to order." Hanako: "Okay." Yui: "She seems smart." Yui: "Not you." Emplolyee A: "I'll be right there." Hanako: "I'd like pancakes, please." Employee A: "Certainly." Kyoko: "She's getting pancakes. Doesn't that sound good?" Yui: "Why don't you order some then?" Kyoko: "Okay." Employee B: "Did you call?" Kyoko: "One hamburg steak, please." Yui: "What about the pancakes?!" Yui: "You used to study hard, Kyoko." Kyoko: "I know. How did I turn out this way?" Yui: "Why are you acting like it's not your problem?" Employee B: "Thank you for waiting. Here are your pancakes." Employee B: "Take your time." Hanako: "Thanks for the food." Yui: "She's well-mannered, too." Kyoko: "Aw, shucks." Yui: "I'm not talking about you." deshiko: "Thanks for waiting." Hanako: "Sister Nadeshiko." deshiko: "Huh?" Hanako: "She probably forgot." deshiko: "Well, it always happens." Yui: "Is that her older sister? She's really pretty." Kyoko: "She might be my doppelgänger! I'm going to die!" Yui: "She's definitely not, so don't worry." Employee: "Thank you for waiting. Here's your beef hamburg steak." Yui: "Satisfied?" Kyoko: "Yup." Kyoko: "That's..." Kyoko: "She's a fan like me." deshiko: "She's staring at me. And "I am idiot"?" Yui: "What's wrong?" Kyoko: "Mirakurun's in that magazine that girl is reading. I wonder if she likes it." Yui: "Huh." Yui: "What are you doing?" Kyoko: "If she's a fan, too, I thought she'd respond to the Mirakurun pose." Yui: "If you're a fan, try to behave appropriately." Kyoko: "Aw." Kyoko: "Giga, giga, giga." Yui: "Stop embarrassing yourself!" Kyoko: "Excuse me, but do you like that magazine?" deshiko: "What?" deshiko: "Uh, there's a spin-off of a comic I like in this edition, so I got it this time only." Kyoko: "So it's not Mirakurun." Yui: "Hey, Kyoko. Sorry for bothering you." Kyoko: "I'm a fan of the comic Mirakurun in that magazine." Kyoko: "I thought you might be, too." deshiko: "So that's why you were looking this way." Kyoko: "By the way, earlier she said, "Dude, look at the chick next to us." "She's totally hot."" Kyoko: "You should've heard her." Yui: "I didn't say it like that!" Kyoko: "And about you, she said," Kyoko: "That's what she said." Yui: "What are you talking about?" Hanako: "Are you trying to be comedians?" Kyoko: "You can tell?" Yui: "This is the first time I've heard about that." Hanako: "You're not? Normal people don't wear T-shirts like that." Kyoko: "You can read English, too? That's amazing." Hanako: "But "idiot" isn't written in English." deshiko: "Do you go to Nanamori Middle School? Are you studying for exams?" Yui: "Yes." Kyoko: "We were meeting to discuss our duo name." Yui: "We're studying for exams." Yui: "Just how embarrassing do you have to be?" Kyoko: "You know, becoming a comedian wouldn't be so bad." deshiko: "These middle school problems bring back memories." deshiko: "You got this wrong." Yui: "What?" deshiko: "Your calculations are right up until here." deshiko: "But you made a calculation error here." Yui: "You're right." Yui: "Thank you." deshiko: "If there's anything else you don't understand, just ask." Yui: "Are you sure?" Yui: "In that case, there's this..." deshiko: "Let me see. Mind if I sit next to you?" Yui: "Sure." Kyoko: "Okay. I'll help you study." Kyoko: "Yup. There's nothing for me to teach you." Hanako: "Thanks." Yui: "I got it! Thanks for the help. I didn't understand this problem very well just from class." deshiko: "It's fine. It's the least I can do." deshiko: "Is there anything you don't understand?" Kyoko: "The test material, I suppose." Hanako: "That?" Kyoko: "But once I know what I don't understand, I'll have to study." Hanako: "You should!" Yui: "Kyoko. Stop bothering them. Let's keep studying." Kyoko: "Okay." Sakurako: "There you are! Thanks for waiting!" Kyoko: "Hey, Sakucchan." Sakurako: "Huh? It's the upperclassmen. Hello." Sakurako: "Sorry, Hanako." deshiko: "We thought that might be it." Hanako: "Sure did." Kyoko: "Sister?" Yui: "Which means..." Sakurako: "These are my older and younger sisters. Surprising, right?" Yui: "Yeah, extremely..." Hanako: "If temperature has no upper limit, then why does it have a lower limit?" Sakurako: "Unlike me, they're not too sharp." Sakurako: "Toshino-senpai, your T-shirt is awesome!" Kyoko: "Yeah, I guess." Kyoko: "If you like it, we can go buy some together sometime." Sakurako: "Really? All right! We'll be matching!" deshiko: "Sakurako." Hanako: "You're bothering people. Be quiet." Both: "Yuru Yuri Cross Review!" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko likes these kinds of clothes, too?" Chitose: "That's great, Ayano-chan." Ayano: "What? What's great?" Chitose: "Now you know another thing that Toshino-san likes." Cayano: "What are you talking about, Chitose?" Chitose: "The next episode is..." Ayano: ""The Invisible Face is There."" Chitose: "What a mysterious title."

Kyoko: "Akari and Chinatsu aren't here yet?" Kyoko: "What? You're reading?" Kyoko: "But you spent all day reading in the classroom." Yui: "I'm almost finished." Yui: "Stop, you idiot!" Kyoko: "Worked, didn't it?" Yui: "Yeah, yeah." Kyoko: "Hey, pay attention to me." Yui: "Sheesh..." Kyoko: "You're ignoring me on purpose, aren't you?" Kyoko: "Okay." Yui: "If it hurts, then stop." Kyoko: "Sniff, sniff. Yui won't play with me. Sob, sob. Me-sob-potamia." Yui: "She's going for sympathy now." Kyoko: "Ho, ho, ho. Poor girl. You sweet young girl, stop crying." Yui: "Someone else appeared." Kyoko: "Yes, yes. I see. You're lonely because you're all by yourself." Kyoko: "Okay. Kyoko-Kyoko Toshino Kyupin!" Kyoko: "There. I used magic to make you a friend. I'm Yui. Hooray! It's Yui! Yui, you're looking a little square." Kyoko: "You think so? Body cutting magic." Yui: "You're hurting her." Kyoko: "Come on, Yui. Have a seat. Do you know how to sit properly? Yes, I do." Kyoko: "Your hip seems broken. Are you okay? Don't worry about me. By the way, I don't have a head. Is there anything you can do about that?" Yui: "My character is all over the place." Kyoko: "Whoops, sorry. I'll make you a wonderful head right now." Kyoko: "Done! Doot doodle doo!" Kyoko: "There. I made you a wonderful head." Kyoko: "Way to go, Yui. You're as handsome as ever." Kyoko: "Come on, now. Don't be embarrassed." Kyoko: "Hey, Yui-nyan!" Yui: "She's bored of playing by herself." Akari: "Sorry to keep you waiting." Kyoko: "You're late." Chinatsu: "Class ran a little long." Akari: "We got a lot of English homework." Chinatsu: "It's just a floor cushion, Akari-chan." Akari: "Sheesh. I thought it was a person." Kyoko: "It fell again." Chinatsu: "What is this?" Kyoko: "Dummy Yui. Yui's too interested in her book to pay attention to me, so I've been playing with this." Yui: "You're so hopeless, Kyoko. Anyway, what are we doing today?" Kyoko: "Oh? You're going to play with us?" Yui: "I'm going to the bathroom first. After that." Yui: "But first, give me back my track suit." Kyoko: "Okay." Kyoko: "Is this book that interesting?" Akari: "Huh? Where are our cushions?" Chinatsu: "Now that you mention it, they're missing." Kyoko: "Oh, I used them for the doll." Chinatsu: "What? I-In other words, my cushion has been inside Yui-senpai's track suit..." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan seems to be having fun." Akari: "Um..." Akari: "Could I at least have my cushion back?" Chinatsu: "Sorry, sorry. I couldn't help myself." Akari: "Should we do our homework?" Chiantsu: "Yeah. We do have a little extra today." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, you're a fast reader." Yui: "Sorry to keep you waiting." Yui: "You shouldn't touch people's books without permission." Yui: "Hey." Yui: "Hey, you." Yui: "Huh?" Yui: "Kyoko, let's play. Hey." Kyoko: "The culprit is the protagonist's..." Yui: "Homework?" Chinatsu: "Yeah." Akari: "English is so hard." Kyoko: "English, huh? Want me to teach you? Repeat after me!" Kyoko: "Apple!" Akari: "A-Apple?" Both: "Apple!" Yui: "Apple?" Chinatsu: "Where did you get that?" Kyoko: "My relatives gave me a bunch, so I brought some." Kyoko: "Let's eat them together." Akari: "There are so many." Kyoko: "And I've got more." Kyoko: "My bag is full of them." Akari: "What?" Kyoko: "If your gums start bleeding, you have to play a punishment game." Yui: "You're eating them like that?" Yui: "What are you doing?" Kyoko: "My front teeth are stuck and won't come out." Yui: "I'll get a knife." Akari: "They're really stuck in there." Chinatsu: "Shall I bring you a hammer?" Chinatsu: "You got it off." Kyoko: "Let's go!" Yui: "You can be pretty shaky." Kyoko: "I'll be fine." Yui: "What?" Akari: "Kyoko-chan?" Yui: "Did you cut your hand? Hey!" Kyoko: "I was expressing the apple's feelings." Yui: "Don't make us worry, you idiot!" Yui: "Sheesh..." Kyoko: "Sorry." Chinatsu: "Please try to behave yourself, Kyoko-senpai." Akari: "That was surprising, but do you think apples actually feel pain?" Chinatsu: "What?" Yui: "You're pretty good, though." Kyoko: "Right? I've been practicing." Chinatsu: "I'd like to try, too." Yui: "Let's get enough knives for everyone." Chinatsu: "While we're at it, let's make some tea, too." Akari: "I'll help, too." Kyoko: "See you later." Akari: "Were you able to cut some, Kyoko-chan?" Akari: "You cut yourself!" Yui: "Quickly, to the nurse's office..." Kyoko: "Sorry." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, stop joking about that!" Akari: "I'm having palpitations..." Kyoko: "Are your palpitations making your heart pound, pound, pound?" Yui: "Shut up." Chinatsu: "You'll actually end up cutting yourself eventually." Akari: "Huh? Chinatsu-chan, where's the tea?" Akari: "I'm glad it didn't get on our clothes." Chinatsu: "Yeah, you're right." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you seem really disappointed." Chinatsu: "Let's pull ourselves together, and..." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, is this your first time peeling apples?" Chinatsu: "It is." Chinatsu: "Here I go." Akari: "Is it peeling?" Akari: "So thin!" Cchinatsu: "This is hard." Yui: "I'm sure it is. That's actually amazing." Chinatsu: "My eyes are getting tired." Yui: "Want me to do the rest?" Chinatsu: "Oh, please, Yui-senpai. This is a collaboration of love, isn't it? Please go right ahead." Kyoko: "Can we use this?" Yui: "Use it how?" Kyoko: "For world peace." Yui: "It won't work." Akari: "Done. Look, it's a bunny." Chinatsu: "How cute." Yui: "That's good." Akari: "My sister taught me how to make them." Kyoko: "Let me get a closer look." Akari: "Okay." Kyoko: "I see. It's a rabbit, huh?" Kyoko: "We've got plenty more. Why don't we take some to the student council?" Yui: "Sure. Let's cut some and bring them with us." Akari: "I'm going to make more rabbits." Chinatsu: "I want to make some, too. Akari-chan, teach me." Akari: "Sure, okay." Yui: "Why don't we make them all rabbits?" Chinatsu: "Good idea." Akari: "Let's do our best." Kyoko: "Kyoko-Kyoko Toshino..." Yui: "You. Stop summoning things." Kyoko: "God is telling me to" Kyoko: "offer him a rabbit." Yui: "I know. Hurry up and cut them." Akari: "After cutting a V shape into the skin, you peel half the apple from the back." Akari: "Then you add these." Akari: "And you're finished!" Chinatsu: "Wow, so the seeds are eyes. How cute." Chinatsu: "Okay. I'll try it, too." Yui: "Don't get too excited. Take it easy." Chinatsu: "I made one, too!" Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, you've gotten better." Chinatsu: "Oh, Yui-senpai!" Kyoko: "I'm finished, too." Yui: "That's amazing!" Kyoko: "Cling wrap..." Yui: "Are you going to thank your parents again?" Kyoko: "Hello!" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko! What are you doing here?" Kyoko: "I acquired a bunch of apples, so I came to share." Sakurako: "They look delicious!" Himawari: "How cute." Ayano: "You made these?" Kyoko: "Oh, I made this one here." Ayano: "What?" Chitose: "How dexterous." Yui: "We peeled them together. Have some." Sakurako: "What a great catch!" Himawari: "Thank you very much for the food. By the way, Sakurako, a catch refers to fish." Sakurako: "Huh? What do they call it when you catch a bunch of stuff hunting in the mountains?" Kyoko: "Overhunting!" Yui: "That's not very positive." Chitose: "Maybe it's called a good catch in hunting, too. Just with different characters." Ayano: "You might be right." Himawari: "I'll look it up next time." Sakurako: "You're always scolding me to look things up right away when I don't know something..." Himawari: "Did you say something?" Yui: "See you later." Kyoko: "You owe us one." All: "Thank you!" Himawari: "Would you like some, president?" Ayano: "It seems like such a waste." Ayano: "Do I have to eat them?" Chitose: "Well, they are apples. You should eat them soon." Sakurako: "Thanks for the food, then!" Sakurako: "What?" Ayano: "Hold on. Could I have that?" Sakurako: "Sure, if you really want it." Ayano: "Thank you." Sakurako: "Sugiura-senpai, you're such a glutton." Ayano: "What?" Himawari: "You shouldn't compare her to yourself." Sakurako: "I'll have this one, then." Sakurako: "So good! These rabbits are delicious!" Himawari: "It's strange. When they're cut differently, they seem to taste better, too." Sakurako: "We're eating live rabbits!" Ayano: "I'd better take a picture." Akari: "Maybe I'll make bunnies for my sister next time." Chinatsu: "I'm sure she'd like that." Yui: "We delivered them." Kyoko: "They loved them." Akari: "We're finished washing the dishes, too." Kyoko: "Good work." Akari: "Could you put these on that shelf?" Kyoko: "Okay." Yui: "Anyway, I'm glad nobody cut their finger." Chinatsu: "But, but..." Yui: "It's an emergency! We need to disinfect this immediately!" Chinatsu: "I wish you could have treated my injury." Yui: "I think I'm happiest when you don't get hurt." Chinatsu: "Senpai." Kyoko: "Hey! Licking Chinatsu-chan is my job!" Chinatsu: "What?" Kyoko: "I'd really gently lick and slurp..." Kyoko: "No!" Yui: "You cut yourself now?" Kyoko: "Yui, lick it." Yui: "No way!" Chinatsu: "It's crazy outside." Yui: "Should we close the curtains?" Kyoko: "Hold it right there!" Kyoko: "You mustn't look away from the storm that is life." Yui: "Stop acting like that was insightful." Kyoko: "Encountering nature in nature, sometimes facing nature, other times... Let's go check out the rice field." Yui: "You'll die." Kyoko: "We can't take the boat out in this weather!" Kyoko: "Are we trapped on this island?" Yui: "What is this, a mystery novel?" Kyoko: "Trapped on a remote island... And one by one," Kyoko: "we disappear..." Yui: "You're the murderer?" Akari: "Only I "disappeared" in a different way!" Kyoko: "That was close." Yui: "The power's out!" Kyoko: "This is getting more and more mystery novel-like! Take care not to die!" Yui: "It's dangerous, so try not to move." Both: "Okay." Kyoko: "The first person to leave the room gets killed first. Trigger, trigger." Yui: "No, they don't." Akari: "It's pitch black. I want to go the bathroom, but I'll hold it." Yui: "I hope it comes back soon." Chinatsu: "My eyes have gotten used to the dark." Yui: "You can kind of tell where people are." Yui: "Like that idiot playing over there." Akari: "I can't hold it anymore!" Akari: "Yui-chan, I'm using your bathroom!" Kyoko: "Don't, Akari! Think of the trigger!" Kyoko: "Akari!" Kyoko: "Who did this to you?" Akari: "Th-The wall..." Akari: "Ouch." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, is your head okay?" Akari: "Yeah. It's dangerous to walk around in the dark. Also, that's the wrong spot." Kyoko: "There was a trigger after all." Yui: "Yeah, yeah." Chinatsu: "I hope the light comes back on soon." Kyoko: "Light up, Akari." Akari: "I don't light up!" Chinatsu: "There's nothing to do in the dark. I'm bored." Yui: "Yeah." Kyoko: "Hot pot in the dark!" Yui: "I thought you'd say that." Kyoko: "I'm bored." Yui: "Be patient." Kyoko: "Yeah, but..." Akari: "Are there any games we can play in the dark?" Chinatsu: "Like becoming dotted lines?" Akari: "What kind of game is that?" Yui: "We could probably play word games like shiritori or riddles." Akari: "That could work." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan?" Yui: "What's wrong? Is she afraid of the dark?" Yui: "There, there..." Kyoko: "Ow!" Kyoko: "What was that for?" Yui: "I could ask you the same thing!" Kyoko: "You're so mean. How could you hit a girl?" Yui: "Just try to behave yourself." Kyoko: "Okay." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai's playing pranks at a time like this?" Yui: "Yeah, something like that." Kyoko: "What should I do?" Kyoko: "I don't have a choice." Kyoko: "I guess I'll make funny faces. Since it's dark, no one can see anything." Chinatsu: "Has the weather gotten worse?" Akari: "It's like a typhoon out there." Akari: "I'm glad we decided to stay over." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, are you afraid of thunder? Are you okay?" Chinatsu: "It's a little scary." Chinatsu: "But since I'm with all of you, I feel a little reassured." Yui: "Really? That's good." Chinatsu: "And if I have to, I'll cling to you, Yui-senpai. Don't mind me." Yui: "Really? That's..." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, are you okay?" Akari: "Yeah, I'm fine. I used to find it really scary when I was little, but I'm in middle school now." Chinatsu: "You don't need to act so tough." Akari: "I'm fine!" Yui: "That was loud." Chinatsu: "That sounded close!" Chinatsu: "Oh, Akari-chan. Listen to you scream. So the thunder does scare you. I have Yui-senpai, so I'm fine." Akari: "It's not that. Kyoko-chan was making a weird face." Kyoko: "So mean!" Kyoko: "How could you call my face weird? Why would you say that?" Akari: "That's not what I meant!" Kyoko: "I thought I was a beautiful young girl..." Yui: "Isn't that also a problem?" Akari: "In any case, Kyoko-chan was being weird!" Yui: "What are you talking about, Akari?" Yui: "That's normal." Kyoko: "How rude!" Kyoko: "Akari, everyone's getting the wrong idea because of the weird stuff you're saying." Akari: "What? Sorry..." Akari: "Look!" Yui: "Is something wrong?" Chinatsu: "Maybe it's because she hit her head earlier." Kyoko: "Do you know about the wolf girl?" Chinatsu: "Is something wrong?" Yui: "I'm just checking to see if there's anything weird in here." Chinatsu: "She did it." Kyoko: "I didn't do anything!" Akari: "Hooray, cabbage rolls!" Akari: "We can finally eat." Akari: "Huh?" Akari: "There's no meat..." Kyoko: "They're 100% pure. Those are real cabbage rolls for you." Yui: "That's just cabbage." Akari: "The cabbage is good by itself, though." Yui: "What? Is this a rabbit?" Kyoko: "We made them with apples, so I thought it might work with sausages." Chinatsu: "They're hard to eat when they're so cute." Yui: "Yeah." Chinatsu: "That's not a compliment." Chinatsu: "A shrimp?" Kyoko: "I tried decoratively cutting the carrots." Chinatsu: "It's needlessly elaborate." Yui: "You're way too good at this." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, that's amazing." Kyoko: "I want to cut something even cooler for our next hot pot." Yui: "Shouldn't you be trying to make it taste better?" Kyoko: "I'm at that age where I'm not satisfied by doing anything normally." Yui: "You're the only one like that." Chinatsu: "Come to think of it, Akari-chan, did you ever go to the bathroom?" Both: "Yuru Yuri Cross Review!" Yui: "Damn, I can't believe she spoiled that." Akari: "The delicious sounding descriptions of food made me hungry." Yui: "She won't get away with that joke, though." Akari: "Is that how it works?" Yui: "The next episode is..." Akari: ""It Will Be an Unforgettable Day."" Yui: "Some days are special or important." Akari: "Every day is special and important to me."

Ayano: "Ahem. You like these kinds of movies, right? If you'd like, we could watch it together. I just happened to get these from an acquaintance, okay? Don't get the wrong idea." Ayano: "That's not it. I got these from an acquaintance. Would you like to go together?" Ayano: "I know you'd like to see a movie together! I-know-kashira Park!" Ayano: "What should I do? Since I got these tickets, it'd be a waste not to use them. I don't have a choice." Kyoko: "And then..." Ayano: "Good morning." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, good morning." Yui: "Good morning." Kyoko: "Morning!" Kyoko: "You're late today. Did something happen?" Ayano: "No." Ayano: "Listen, Toshino Kyoko." Ayano: "Would you like to see..." Ayano: "See..." Ayano: "See..." Ayano: "It's important to eat a balanced diet!" Kyoko: "Sure is." Ayano: "What am I saying?" Kyoko: "Yui." Kyoko: "Let me see your math homework." Yui: "What? You didn't do it?" Kyoko: "Well, I was up really late." Yui: "You're not answering my question." Kyoko: "Aw, come on." Yui: "There's no point if you don't do it yourself." Ayano: "T-Toshino Kyoko." Kyoko: "Ayano! Perfect timing. Let me see your homework. The cheapskate won't let me—" Yui: "Hey!" Yui: "Sorry, Ayano. Just ignore her." Ayano: "O-Okay..." Yui: "Do as much as you can during the break." Kyoko: "This favor is going to cost you." Chitose: "Those are..." Yui: "You're not doing me any favors." Chitose: "You can do it, Ayano-chan!" Ayano: "This isn't going well." Ayano: "Why does this always happen?" Ayano: "Sugiura Ayano!" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko! What's gotten into you?" Kyoko: "Oh? You changed your shampoo, didn't you?" Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "It smells great." Ayano: "What are you doing?" Kyoko: "They say you should let long things wrap around you." Ayano: "That's not what that means!" Ayano: "Get away from me." Kyoko: "Fine." Kyoko: "Chizuru! It's been so long. You've grown so much. There, there." Chizuru: "No, I haven't. Don't pet me." Kyoko: "Aw, come on." Chizuru: "Sheesh." Ayano: "She's always getting carried away." Ayano: "I didn't give them to her. All I had to do was say, "Let's go see a movie."" Kyoko: "Ayano, Ayano!" Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "Well..." Kyoko: "Tada!" Ayano: "Movie tickets?" Kyoko: "Want to go together tomorrow on Saturday? My mom gave them to me." Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "I thought you might like romance movies." Ayano: "But..." Kyoko: "You can't?" Ayano: "It's not that!" Ayano: "You're sure you want to go with me?" Kyoko: "Of course I do!" Ayano: "Then I guess I don't have a choice." Kyoko: "It's decided, then." Yui: "You're going to the movies with Ayano?" Chinatsu: "What kind of movie is it?" Kyoko: "A romance movie." Akari: "Sounds fun." Yui: "What do you want to do on Sunday, then?" Chinatsu: "I want to hang out." Kyoko: "That's my mom's birthday." Akari: "And I'm going to stay at my grandma's place." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, if you don't have any plans, do you want to sleep over at my place?" Chinatsu: "What?" Yui: "Monday is a holiday." Chinatsu: "Are you sure? It'll be just us! Are you sure?" Akari: "That's great, Chinatsu-chan." Kyoko: "Yui, you're lonely by yourself, aren't you?" Yui: "You're the one who's jealous because you want to hang out. If you're free Monday, why don't you come by?" Kyoko: "I'll be there!" Akari: "I want to hang out, too." Akari: "Can I go after I come back from my grandma's place?" Yui: "Of course." Chinatsu: "A sleepover with Yui-senpai..." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, see you the day after tomorrow." Chinatsu: "Okay." Kyoko: "Later." Akari: "Bye-bye." Chinatsu: "Hey, Akari-chan." Akari: "What is it, Chinatsu-chan?" Chinatsu: "Will you help me?" Akari: "What?" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan." Akari: "Thanks for waiting." Chinatsu: "Sorry for making you come out here today." Akari: "No, it's fine." Chinatsu: "Today you're my girlfriend, and I'm your girlfriend." Akari: "Okay. I'm playing Yui-chan, right?" Chinatsu: "That's right. The idea is Yui-senpai and I are dating, and we're going out on a date." Chinatsu: "Okay, then. Start over from when you arrived. That was no good." Akari: "We're doing retakes already?" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, thanks for waiting. Were you waiting long?" Akari: "Ch-Chinatsu-chan?" Chinatsu: "Something's not right. You need to make a cooler appearance by riding in on a horse or something." Akari: "A horse? That's a little too hard for me." Chinatsu: "Then put this rose in your mouth." Akari: "Okay..." Akari: "Why does she have that?" Akari: "Hey, Chinatsu-chan. Were you waiting long?" Chinatsu: "No, I just got here, Senpai." Chinatsu: "How wonderful of you to be exactly on time." Akari: "Thank you." Akari: "Would Yui-chan do this?" Akari: "Where do you want to go today?" Chiantsu: "Well, I gave it a lot of thought, but I couldn't decide." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, where do you want to go?" Chinatsu: "What? The church?" Akari: "The church?" Chinatsu: "Senpai, you're so impatient." Akari: "What would we do there, Chinatsu-chan?" Akari: "This is cute." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, Yui-senpai wouldn't say something so childish." Akari: "What? You think so?" Chinatsu: "Yeah. Yui-senpai would, well..." Chinatsu: "Enjoy wine from this." Akari: "Wine?" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, should we make a wish?" Akari: "Um..." Akari: "Yeah, sure." Chinatsu: "I hope tomorrow's sleepover goes well." Akari: "I hope tomorrow Chinatsu-chan..." Akari: "I'm hungry." Chinatsu: "Oh, Akari-chan." Chinatsu: "I'm hungry, too. What do you want to eat?" Akari: "I want pasta." Chinatsu: "Pasta, huh?" Chinatsu: "That's not a bad idea." Akari: "Really? That's good." Ayano: "What should I do with these?" Ayano: "It's too late to invite her now." Ayano: "No, I already made up my mind. It's important to challenge yourself sometimes." Ayano: "Opportunities like these are rare." Kyoko: "Ayano." Kyoko: "You're early." Ayano: "I just got here a little early." Kyoko: "That's a cute outfit." Ayano: "What? R-Really? Thanks." Kyoko: "Yeah, that's it. Let's try some sexier poses next." Ayano: "Stop that. You're embarrassing me." Kyoko: "What? But you look so cute." Kyoko: "We have some time before the movie starts. What should we do?" Ayano: "Well..." Ayano: "Why don't we sit over there and have something to eat?" Kyoko: "Nice idea! Way to go, Ayano." Ayano: "Your flattery won't get you anything." Chinatsu: "Say ah." Akari: "A-Ah..." Chinatsu: "Is it good?" Akari: "Yeah, it's delicious." Chinatsu: "Great." Akari: "Now it's your turn." Chinatsu: "Oh, Senpai, you're so bold! But if you want to do it..." Akari: "What? Chinatsu-chan, you just did it to me!" Akari: "Huh? Chinatsu-chan, you have sauce on your cheek." Chinatsu: "Oh, no. Really? Here you go, then." Akari: "What?" Chinatsu: "I think Yui-senpai would lick me clean herself." Akari: "What's going on with Chinatsu-chan's image of Yui-senpai?" Chinatsu: "So here." Akari: "What should I do? This is really embarrassing." Akari: "But..." Akari: "Th-That should do it!" Chinatsu: "What?" Chinatsu: "Well, whatever. Well done." Akari: "Good." Chinatsu: "Want me to do you?" Akari: "Do what?" Chinatsu: "Lick sauce off your cheek." Akari: "I-I'm okay! I'll do it myself!" Chinatsu: "Really? Well, whatever. I'll just do it on the actual date." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan is taking this so seriously." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan is working this hard. I need to do my best, too." Kyoko: "We can go inside in five more minutes." Kyoko: "What are you doing?" Ayano: "I thought I'd commemorate the event." Kyoko: "I'll take one, too." Kyoko: "There." Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "This seems more commemorative." Kyoko: "Say cheese." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko, your eyes are closed." Kyoko: "You're right." Ayano: "Will you send this to my phone?" Kyoko: "Ayano! Let's take another!" Ayano: "But it's starting." Kyoko: "Fine..." Akari: "Where should we go next?" Chinatsu: "Well..." Chinatsu: "Let's visit all the places you like, Akari-chan." Akari: "What? You don't want to rehearse anymore?" Chinatsu: "No. Rehearsing is important, but the time we're spending together is important, too." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan..." Chinatsu: "Let's go." Akari: "Okay." Chinatsu: "We had a lot of fun." Akari: "Yeah. But are you sure we don't need to rehearse anymore?" Chinatsu: "I think I've got the hang of it." Akari: "That's good. Tomorrow will be fun." Chinatsu: "I wonder if it'll be okay, though." Akari: "What do you mean?" Chinatsu: "I want Yui-senpai to have fun, too. I was wondering what she would like." Akari: "The other day she said she wanted to try Le Pinyon's green tea roll cakes." Chinatsu: "Really? Thank you, Akari-chan." Chinatsu: "That's fantastic information." Ayano: "That was good." Kyoko: "Yeah. I haven't seen many romance movies, but it was pretty good." Kyoko: "Let's go to the movies again sometime." Ayano: "Yeah." Ayano: "What should I do?" Ayano: "We just saw a movie." Ayano: "I should be true to myself." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Ayano: "Would you like to see this together?" Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "Where did you get these?" Ayano: "I thought you might like this kind of thing. But—" Kyoko: "I love it! I wanted to see this! Let's watch it! Right now, even!" Ayano: "What? Okay." Kyoko: "Thank you, Ayano! No, Ayano-sama!" Ayano: "Oh, Toshino Kyoko..." Ayano: "Huh." Ayano: "I feel stupid for worrying about it so much." : "Everyone's Mirakurun has returned!" Kurumi: "Thanks for the food. Wow, today's lunch is a whole head of cabbage." Raika: "Kurumi-chan." Raika: "I bought you a yakisoba roll." Kurumi: "Thanks, Raika-chan. But sorry. Could you get me some dressing, too?" Raika: "You don't have anything to put on your cabbage? Oh, no." Raika: "I'll go buy some right away." Kurumi: "Thanks. Get Japanese dressing, okay?" Raika: "Got it." Kurumi: "Actually, get miso flavor." Raika: "Got it." : "Peaceful everyday life." Teacher: "Let's play dodge ball." Raika: "Kurumi-chan, I'll be your shield again toady." Kurumi: "No." Kurumi: "You're always protecting me. Today I'll protect you." Raika: "Kurumi-chan..." Kurumi: "Now hide behind me." Raika: "Okay." Kurumi: "Never mind, it's too scary!" : "Threatened everyday life." Both: "That scream! Could it be Ganbo?" Kurumi: "Raika-chan, sorry. I just remembered I have something to do." Raika: "What?" Kurumi: "Do the rest of my homework for me!" Raika: "What?!" Miirakurun: "Witch Girl Mirakurun has arrived!" Gambo: "Bo, bo bo bo! You've appeared, Mirakurun!" Rivalrun: "The answer to this is..." Gambo: "Can't you take this fight seriously?" Rivalrun: "Please be quiet! I'm busy right now!" : "Will Mirakurun be able to preserve the peace?" Kurumi: "If anything happened to you, Raika-chan, I... I..." Kurumi: "Who would do my homework?" Raika: "Kurumi-chan, you're so cute!" : "Witch Girl Mirakurun Movie Returns opens next spring." Kyoko: "I haven't seen the trailer before. Ayano, let's see it together." Ayano: "What? With me?" Kyoko: "Yeah, let's go see it." Ayano: "You're hopeless. I'll go with you." Kyoko: "Yeah." Chinatsu: "We had a lot of fun." Akari: "Yeah. I had fun, too." Akari: "Good luck tomorrow." Chinatsu: "Yeah." Akari: "If there's anything I can do now, I'll help." Chinatsu: "Maybe I'll have you kiss me, then." Akari: "You decided immediately? I can't do that!" Chinatsu: "But you said you would help. If you can't, though, then it can't be helped." Chinatsu: "I'll kiss you, so hold still." Akarii: "What?" Akari: "Wait, wait, wait. Friends shouldn't be doing this." Chinatsu: "You don't want me to?" Akari: "It's not that I don't, but..." Akari: "That's not the problem!" Chinatsu: "Hey, wait! You're not getting away!" Chinatsu: "Wait!" Chinatsu: "I said wait! Don't worry, Akari-chan! It will be over soon!" Akari: "That's not the—" Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, you run so fast." Chinatsu: "It's okay. Close your eyes, and it will be over soon." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan?" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you're so forceful." Chinatsu: "What?" Chinatsu: "Wh-What's going on?" Akari: "Fine. Now let's kiss." Chinatsu: "I'm sorry!" Ayano: "Thanks for walking me home." Kyoko: "See you later." Ayano: "Yeah." Kyoko: "Ayano!" Kyoko: "Let's go to the movies again!" Ayano: "Yeah, later!" Ayano: "Be true to myself, huh?" Yui: "This is good." Chinatsu: "Really? I'm glad I bought it. Akari-chan, thank you!" Chinatsu: "This is a monumental first step. Akari-chan helped me a lot. I need to produce results." Yui: "Results?" Chinatsu: "Oh, no. Uh, I said "barrier."" Yui: "Why barrier?" Chinatsu: "I'm talking about the drama." Chinatsu: "In any case, I can't get too excited and lose my cool. I need to make Yui-senpai like me today." Chinatsu: "First, I'll try feeding each other." Chinatsu: "Here, Yui-senpai." Yui: "What?" Chinatsu: "I want to try yours, too. Let's trade one bite each. Say ah." Yui: "But it's the same cake." Akemi: "Wait! Wait, Yoshiko!" Akemi: "No matter what your secret is, I love you!" Chinatsu: "Don't let it get you down. You need to keep making her like you." Yoshiko: "Akemi..." Akemi: "Yoshiko..." Yoshiko: "I finally caught you." Yui: "What is this?" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai..." Yoshiko: "Akemi..." Yoshiko: "Akemi!" Yui: "Ow, ow, ow!" Chinatsu: "What was wrong with that drama?" Yui: "That was surprising." Yui: "The bath is ready." Chinatsu: "Um, Yui-senpai. Can we," Chinatsu: "uh..." Yui: "Sorry, one second." Yui: "It's Kyoko." Chinatsu: "How unfortunate!" Yui: "Hold on." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, what was that?" Chinatsu: "Never mind. It's nothing." Yui: "Really?" Yui: "Go ahead and get in the bath, then." Yui: "Hello? What do you want? Don't speak in rap." Chinatsu: "Nothing's going well." Chinatsu: "What did Kyoko-senpai want earlier?" Yui: "She said, "The cake is delicious."" Chinatsu: "What's that about?" Yui: "Let's go to bed. I'm turning off the light." Chinatsu: "Okay." Chinatsu: "It seems quiet today since there's only two of us." Yui: "Yeah." Chinatsu: "Um, can I go over there?" Chinatsu: "I feel restless." Yui: "Sure." Chinatsu: "Really?" Chinatsu: "E-Excuse the intrusion." Yui: "Sure." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai's bed is so warm!" Yui: "It's a little embarrassing, huh?" Chinatsu: "Y-Yeah." Yui: "Good night, then." Chinatsu: "Good night." Chinatsu: "Wh-What?" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai." Chinatsu: "I can't do it!" Chinatsu: "After all, it's not fair." Chinatsu: "I'm already happy enough like this." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai." Chinatsu: "Nothing." Yui: "Yes?" Kyoko: "Hey, hey!" Yui: "It's you, Kyoko." Kyoko: "Did you just wake up? What a sleepyhead." Yui: "Sorry. What time is it?" Kyoko: "Six in the morning." Yui: "Go home." Kyoko: "What? You're so mean." Yui: "Good grief." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai..." Both: "Yuru Yuri Cross Review!" Akari: "Wow, it's Mirakurun." Chinatsu: "I bet Kyoko-senpai's going to be fussy again. I don't like it." Akari: "I'm excited for it, too." Chinatsu: "Well, I wouldn't mind seeing it with Yui-senpai." Akari: "The next episode is..." Chinatsu: ""It Is the Piece of a Smile Everyone Acquires."" Akari: "Everyone has lots of smiles."

Sakurako: "Boing, boing. Full of energy. Boing, boing. Everyone's hero. Boing, boing. Boing, boing." Sakurako: "I hear someone crying!" Sakurako: "What a pain in the butt." Sakurako: "Why are you crying?" Himawari: "I'm totally flat." Himawari: "Please, Sakurako-chan-man! Make me voluptuous!" Sakurako: "No way." Himawari: "Sakurako-chan-man!" Sakurako: "I'm hungry." Himawari: "Sakurako, are you hungry?" Himawari: "Here, have some sweets." Sakurako: "How thoughtful." Sakurako: "That's yummy! Yummier than usual!" Himawari: "Of course it is." Himawari: "After all, I made this for you." Himawari: "What's wrong? Why are you making that cute face?" Himawari: "Oh, my. You have some on your cheek." Sakurako: "What's gotten into you, Himawari? Did you hit your head?" Himawari: "Oh, please. You're so weird, Sakurako." Himawari: "We have homework, don't we? Let's go." Himawari: "I'll stay with you for hours and hours." Sakurako: "Stop, stop! Stop that!" Himawari: "You're awfully quiet today." Himawari: "What's wrong? Why are you making that cute face?" Sakurako: "Himawari, you idiot!" Himawari: "What was that for?" Himawari: "Unbelievable." Himawari: "Good morning." Both: "Good morning." Himawari: "I baked chocolate cookies for today." Chinatsu: "Chocolate?" Himawari: "These are the cookies." Akari: "Wow, they look delicious." Chinatsu: "Himawari-chan, you're so good at baking." Himawari: "Here." Himawari: "These are for you." Sakurako: "I don't want them." Himawari: "What?" Sakurako: "I said I don't want them! Himawari, you idiot! You cookie monster!" Himawari: "Cookie monster?" Himawari: "Sakurako." Sakurako: "Stay away, idiot!" Himawari: "What's wrong with you? You're acting weird and restless." Sakurako: "That's not true! Just go away!" Himawari: "Your face seems red, too." Himawari: "What was that for?" Sakurako: "Yeah, that's it. Boy, that's relaxing." Himawari: "Sakurako, I had no idea you were into that." Sakurako: "I'm not, you idiot!" Himawari: "Then what on earth is wrong with you?" Sakurako: "Well, actually..." Sakurako: "And that's the dream I had." Sakurako: "Weird, right? You were so nice to me. The real Himawari is quick to anger, makes fun of me, and isn't nice at all." Sakurako: "And that threw me off. I'm glad you're back to your mean booby self." Himawari: "Stop saying I'm not nice, you cutting board!" Sakurako: "What? What do you mean by cutting board? Spit it out!" Himawari: "I'm talking about your perfectly flat chest, of course!" Sakurako: "Now you've said it! Want me to use my cutting boards to chop off those watermelons?" Himawari: "Watermelons?" Sakurako: "You can give me those cookies to thank me." Himawari: "You said you didn't want them." Sakurako: "Also, you can help me with today's homework." Himawari: "Now you're being impudent!" Chinatsu: "They're such good friends." Akari: "Yeah." Chizuru: "I can feel her staring at me." Chizuru: "What am I supposed to do?" Kaede: "Scary..." Chizuru: "She called me scary?" Kaede: "There!" Kaede: "I got it!" Chizuru: "A ladybug?" Kaede: "Yeah. I don't like touching bugs, so I was nervous." Kaede: "Sorry for hitting you." Chizuru: "It's okay. Thanks." Chizuru: "So I had a bug on me." Kaede: "Is something wrong?" Chizuru: "It's nothing." Kaede: "When I said "scary," did you think I meant you?" Chizuru: "She's perceptive." Chizuru: "I get told I'm scary at school all the time." Kaede: "Really? But you're cool. That's weird." Chizuru: "You think so?" Chizuru: "Thanks, though." Kaede: "My name is Kaede. What's yours?" Chizuru: "Chizuru. Ikeda Chizuru." Kaede: "Big sister Chizuru! Big sister Chizuru, what are you reading?" Chizuru: "It's a secret." Kaede: "What?" Chizuru: "Fine." Chizuru: "Here." Kaede: "It's a book about cats?" Chizuru: "Yeah. I like cats. You'll probably laugh at me, though." Kaede: "Why?" Chizuru: "I don't seem like I would." Kaede: "That's not true at all." Kaede: "Can I see?" Chizuru: "Yeah." Kaede: "So cute." Chizuru: "There are all kinds of cats." Chizuru: "Cats with long hair, cats with short tails..." Kaede: "Really? Do you have a cat?" Chizuru: "No." Chizuru: "But, I'll get one someday." Kaede: "Just now..." Kaede: "The way you smiled just now was wonderful." Chizuru: "Was I smiling?" Kaede: "Yeah. It was super duper wonderful." Chizuru: "Pretend you didn't see that." Kaede: "Why? No way. I'll never forget. Your friends at school must not know what your smile looks like. What a waste." Chizuru: "A waste?" Chizuru: "It's true, though." Chizuru: "I don't think I smile much at school." Chizuru: "Okay, I'll try." Kaede: "Yeah." Kyoko: "There." Kyoko: "Oh? It's Chizuru." Chizuru: "What are you doing?" Kaede: "Smile, smile." Chizuru: "How long have you been there?" Kyoko: "What? I just got here. I thought I'd take a shortcut." Chizuru: "Are you serious?" Kyoko: "Were you telling secrets?" Chizuru: "None of your business!" Kyoko: "Aw. Tell me next time, then. I'm in a hurry right now." Chizuru: "Just leave already." Kyoko: "Later." Chizuru: "Sheesh." Kaede: "That's not good, big sister Chizuru. You need to smile more." Chizuru: "She's different." Kaede: "Really?" Kaede: "But that person didn't seem to mind. Maybe she likes it when people are mad at her. I think people like that are called an N or an F." Chizuru: "In any case," Chizuru: "I'll try to work on it." Kaede: "Okay." Kaede: "I need to get going. Will you come here again?" Chizuru: "Yeah. Come say hi if you see me." Kaede: "All right. Bye-bye, then." Kaede: "See you later." Chizuru: "See you later." Kyoko: "Sakucchan!" Kyok: "Thanks for waiting." Sakurako: "Toshino-senpai, hello." Toshino: "Sorry I'm late." Sakurako: "It's okay. Anyway, sorry for asking you to come with me." Kyoko: "It's no problem at all." Sakurako: "You've got something stuck to you." Kyoko: "Must be because of the shortcut I took." Sakurako: "Shortcut? Did you find a secret passageway?" Kyoko: "Yeah." Sakurako: "I knew you'd find one, Toshino-senpai! Show me where it is sometime!" Kyoko: "Very well." Sakurako: "All right!" Kyoko: "Did you decide?" Sakurako: "Not yet. It's hard." Kyoko: "You're giving it someone, right?" Sakurako: "Yeah. My little sister was jealous of my animal pajamas." Kyoko: "That smart little sister of yours, huh?" Sakurako: "She's not as smart as me, though." Kyoko: "Well, sister-loving Sakucchan, want some?" Sakurako: "Yes, please!" Sakurako: "What is this?" Kyoko: "Pretty good, right?" Kyoko: "It has a unique and addicting flavor. If you like it, you can drink the rest." Sakurako: "You're right. This isn't so bad." Kyoko: "By the way... I tried coming up with some nicknames." Sakurako: "Nicknames for me? What are they?" Kyoko: "Well... Sakuko, Sappi, Rakko, Muro-chan, Omu-chan, Muroron, Murossamu, Muro Muro, Musako, Sakupyon, Saku Saku, Osaku, Omuro, Sakupi, Muroin. Which do you prefer?" Sakurako: "What? I'm sorry, I couldn't remember them all. There was Sakurako Daimyojin and what?" Kyoko: "Did I say that?" Sakurako: "You gave Himawari a nickname, too, right?" Kyoko: "Himacchan rejected "Boob-chan."" Sakurako: "Then, give me that nickname." Kyoko: "What? But..." Sakurako: "I plan to become that way in the future. You'd just be giving me the nickname in advance." Kyoko: "Fine, then." Sakurako: "All right!" Kyoko: "By the way, Sakucchan." Sakurako: "What about Boob-chan?" Kyoko: "You'd better pick some pajamas." Sakurako: "Oh, right." Sakurako: "Maybe I'll go with the cow." Kyoko: "Ah, so it'd be a cow from Boob-chan?" Sakurako: "No." Kyoko: "Moo." Sakurako: "I said no!" Kyoko: "Oh, you really meant no." Sakurako: "My sister likes milk." Kyoko: "Ah, I see. Then let's go get it." Sakurako: "Yes, sir!" Kyoko: "I'll show you how it's done first." Sakurako: "Please do." Sakurako: "Huh? Why don't you aim for the middle?" Kyoko: "Arms these days are weak. You have to nudge prizes bit by bit." Sakurako: "Arms?" Kyoko: "This part." Sakurako: "This part?" Kyoko: "Whir, grab." Sakurako: "You won't get me!" Kyoko: "You won't get away!" Kyoko: "But you're hard to grab since you're flat." Sakurako: "That's not true! Over here should be fine!" Kyoko: "Whir, grab." Kyoko: "You're right." Sakurako: "It tickles a little, though." Kyoko: "Is this the spot? Is this it?" Kyoko: "Wait, this isn't the time for such things." Sakurako: "We're done already?" Kyoko: "You're in class right now. If you have any questions, ask." Sakurako: "Yes, master!" Kyoko: "Yes, Sakucchan!" Sakurako: "Why don't you aim for the middle?" Kyoko: "You're quick to forget things, aren't you?" Kyoko: "That should do it." Sakurako: "Wow, you have good aim." Kyoko: "Well, I am pretty good." Kyoko: "It's almost ready." Kyoko: "Sakucchan, there's nothing else for me to teach you. The rest is up to you." Sakurako: "What? Already? What am I going to do if I use all my allowance?" Kyoko: "It's okay. I know you can do it." Sakurako: "You think so?" Kyoko: "I did accept you as my apprentice." Sakurako: "Really?" Kyoko: "Yeah, you're a genius." Sakurako: "You're right!" Sakurako: "I'll give it a shot." Sakurako: "I missed." Kyoko: "It happens all the time. Try again." Sakurako: "Roger." Sakurako: "Yes! All right! I got it!" Kyoko: "Nice job." Sakurako: "I might actually be a genius to get it in two tries." Sakurako: "All right. I know Hanako will love this." Kyoko: "Since we still have time, let's play some Namo Revo!" Sakurako: "Nice idea!" Kyoko: "It's over there!" Sakurako: "Yeah!" Kyoko: "That was fun." Yui: "You went to the arcade with Omuro-san, right?" Kyoko: "Yeah. Sakucchan's pretty good at games. We should go together sometime." Yui: "Sure. It sounds fun." Kyoko: "And today I have a gift for you." Kyoko: "Tada!" Yui: "An alarm clock?" Kyoko: "You can record your voice with it. Sakucchan and I recorded ourselves." Yui: "Wow, I bet you're a lively duo." Kyoko: "Try listening to it." Yui: "Okay." Sakurako: "Good morning." Kyoko: "We're pranking Yui-san as she's getting up. Excuse the intrusion." Sakurako: "Let's start by searching her room. Quietly, so we don't wake her." Yui: "You should wake me." Sakurako: "Good morning." Kyoko: "We're pranking Yui-san as she's getting up. Excuse the intrusion." All: "Yuru Yuri Cross Review!" Himawari: "What is this?" Sakurako: "This amazing drink gets tastier the more you drink." Himawari: "I see..." Sakurako: "Hey, now. You haven't got a shred of class." Himawari: "I won't take that from you." Sakurako: "The next episode is..." Himawari: ""This is the Story of a Little Love and Courage."" Sakurako: "Hey, Kaede's with a strange girl!"

Ayano: "How's this?" Yui: "I think it's a bit too cute." Chitose: "I think it looks good." Chizuru: "Sister." Chitose: "Chizuru." Kyoko: "Chizuru, Chizuru!" Kyoko: "That's a new reaction." Chitose: "Sorry. I'll be back." Ayano: "Okay." Chizuru: "Here." Chitose: "Let's go out into the hallway." Chizuru: "Okay." Yui: "Aren't you jealous of sisters?" Ayano: "I know what you mean. I wish I had one." Kyoko: "Ayano, would you rather have an older or younger sister?" Ayano: "A younger one, I think." Ayano: "I'd like to be a dependable older sister." Kyoko: "And you, Yui?" Yui: "I think I'd like an older sister." Yui: "Little sisters are nice, but I have Mari-chan." Ayano: "Mari-chan?" Yui: "She's a relative who comes to my house to play all the time." Yui: "I wonder what it's like to have a sister." Ayano: "I can't even imagine." Chizuru: "Thanks for the help." Chitose: "I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but good luck." Chizuru: "What?" Chitose: "You know, yesterday..." Chitose: "What's wrong?" Chizuru: "I thought if I could smile more gently, I'd get along with my classmates better." Chizuru: "I'll try starting tomorrow." Chizuru: "Actually, that was..." Chitose: "It's fine. If you say you'll try, I'll support you, no matter what it is. You can do it." Chizuru: "Okay. See you later." Chitose: "Later." Kyoko: "What if I were your little sister, Ayano?" Chitose: "Toshino-san as Ayano-chan's little sister?" Kyoko: "Sister." Ayano: "Kyoko, I told you not to come barging in here." Kyoko: "But I love taking baths with you." Ayano: "You're hopeless." Kyoko: "Your skin is always so smooth." Ayano: "Don't stare so much." Kyoko: "You're so pretty. I wish I could rub ice cream all over you and eat you." Ayano: "Kyoko..." Kyoko: "With rum raisin ice cream, of course." Kyoko: "You want a little sister who will depend on you, right? Leave it to me!" Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "I'll depend on you. I'll full-on depend on you." Ayano: "It's morning. Get up." Kyoko: "Eating is too hard." Ayano: "Open wide." Ayano: "Try this on next." Kyoko: "Now this is how you coordinate." Yui: "Wow, you're useless." Ayano: "Being relied on too much would be a problem." Kyoko: "What? Don't say that. At least help me with the handout that's due today." Yui: "That's an actual request." Ayano: "This is no time to be chatting! Hurry up and do it!" Kyoko: "Sister, you're so harsh!" Kyoko: "Be nicer to me." Ayano: "I'll teach you the material, so do it yourself." Kyoko: "Okay." Yui: "Sheesh." Ayano: "Sheesh." Kyoko: "Huh? Yui wants an older sister, and Ayano wants a younger one." Kyoko: "Why don't you two become sisters?" Yui: "I might like having Ayano as a big sister." Ayano: "Really?" Yui: "Yeah. You're strong and dependable." Ayano: "That's not true at all. You're so much stronger than me, I'd probably depend on you." Yui: "You think so?" Yui: "S-Sister..." Ayano: "Wh-What is it, Yui?" Kyoko: "That's it. Keep going." Yui: "Like hell I can!" Ayano: "Why would you make us do this?" Kyoko: "What? You're done already? If you can't come up with a scenario, I'll provide one." Yui: "What do you mean, scenario?" Kyoko: "Well..." Kyoko: "The year is 21XX." Kyoko: "The world has been enveloped in flames of darkness." Kyoko: "A world where light doesn't reach. All life forms seem to have gone extinct." Kyoko: "However, two lights shine in the darkness." Kyoko: "Two sisters are reunited for the first time in 80 years." Ayano: "Yui." Kyoko: "But the joy of their reunion is short lived." Yui: "Oh, my sister." Kyoko: "Only one of them will survive." Kyoko: "How will this battle of blood, tears, and sweat end?" Yui: "Where am I supposed to begin?" Student: "Um, Ikeda-san." Student: "Sorry for interrupting you while you're reading. Um, we're collecting homework notebooks." Chizuru: "Thanks." Chizuru: "B-Bye." Student: "That was surprising." Student: "She just smiled, didn't she? Yeah." Chizuru: "I messed up. They definitely thought it was weird." Chizuru: "It's too unnatural for me to smile." Chizuru: "No, I made a promise with Kaede-chan." Chizuru: "I can't give up over this." Kyoko: "Hey, it's Chizuru." Kyoko: "Huh? You look kind of down." Chizuru: "H-How did you know?" Kyoko: "I can tell that much. We're friends, right?" Chizuru: "Hey." Chizuru: "How do you make friends?" Kyoko: "What?" Chizuru: "It's just a guess, but you're probably good at it, right?" Kyoko: "I'm not sure exactly, but... Attack! You have to attack!" Chizuru: "Attack?" Kyoko: "Well, because I attacked in my own way, you and I became friends." Kyoko: "Right?" Chizuru: "That aside..." Kyoko: "Don't put it aside!" Chizuru: "Well, that was useful." Chizuru: "Thanks." Kyoko: "Sure..." Chizuru: "Attack, huh?" Teacher: "Gather round!" Teacher: "To finish things off, form groups of three and rally." Teacher: "You can stop once you hit 30 in a row." All: "Okay." Student: "Um, Ikeda-san." Student: "There are only two of us. Do you want to group up with us... maybe? If we're bothering you, it's okay." Chizuru: "You're not." Chizuru: "I'll go get a ball." Student: "I thought she'd say no. Me, too. So Ikeda-san's willing to do this kind of stuff with us." Chizuru: "Here we go." Student: "Okay." Student: "Go ahead." Student: "I'm sorry. We're not very good at this. Where should we go on the way home?" Student: "What do you want to do?" Student: "Everyone else finished so quickly." Chizuru: "It's okay. I'll cover for you." Student: "What?" Chizuru: "Don't give up." Both: "Okay." Student: "Ikeda-san!" Chizuru: "Here!" Student: "Takane!" Chizuru: "Get it!" Student: "Okay!" Chizuru: "Here!" Student: "Haruka!" Student: "There!" Student: "Ikeda-san!" Student: "Are you okay?" Chizuru: "Yeah." Student: "I'm sorry. It's my fault for hitting it so high." Chizuru: "It's okay. We're not done yet." Both: "Yeah!" Student: "24." Chizuru: "25." Student: "26." Student: "27." Chizuru: "28." Student: "29." Student: "30!" Both: "All right! We finished!" Student: "Ikeda-san, thank you." Student: "Ikeda-san. Are you okay?" Chizuru: "I'm fine." Student: "But those cuts..." Student: "And your hands..." Chizuru: "It's my fault I tripped." Student: "It's our fault." Student: "We're so bad, but we invited you anyway." Chizuru: "I'm glad you played with me." Chizuru: "Thanks, Dezaki-san and Koyama-san." Chizuru: "All I did was make them worry. Maybe I'm not good at making friends after all." Both: "Ikeda-san, good morning." Chizuru: "Good morning." Student: "We brought some sweets to thank you for yesterday. Let's eat them together." Chizuru: "Hey, wait." Student: "Let's go. Hurry, hurry." Student: "Ikeda-san, you're pretty athletic." Chizuru: "R-Really?" Student: "You were so cool. Did you play volleyball before?" Chizuru: "No, not really." Student: "You might look good if you pulled your hair off your forehead like Haruka. You show off your forehead, too." Chizuru: "When she said attack, was she talking about volleyball?" Yui: "Listen closely, Mari-chan. It's potatoes and carrots." Mari: "Okay." Kyoko: "Potato! Ninjin!" Yui: "I'll put a note in here." Yui: "If you forget, show an employee the note." Yui: "Got it?" Mari: "Got it." Kyoko: "Potato! Ninjin!" Mari: "I'm off." Both: "See you later." Yui: "You think she'll be okay? I feel like she's too young for her first errand." Yui: "And was it necessary to wear these?" Kyoko: "It's fun." Yui: "That's not what I asked." Kyoko: "There's been an incident!" Kyoko: "I'm thirsty!" Yui: "Why are you eating hardtack? I didn't have bean cakes." Yui: "And why on earth did I have to wear this?" Kyoko: "What are you talking about? They're indispensable for tailing somebody." Yui: "You always start with appearances, don't you?" Kaede: "Mari-chan." Kaede: "What are you doing?" Mari: "Kaede-chan. I was looking at this." Kaede: "Wow, they even bloom here." Mari: "Yeah, it's amazing." Kaede: "I just found this." Mari: "Wow." Kaede: "There." Kyoko: "Who is she? She could be a suspicious person disguised as a little girl!" Yui: "That's too advanced." Yui: "That's Kaede-chan." Yui: "When Mari-chan and I were playing in the park, we met her." Kyoko: "I see. She looks familiar." Mari: "I'm on an errand right now." Kaede: "Really? Me, too." Mari: "Then let's go together." Kaede: "Okay." Woman: "Bad dog!" Kaede: "That was scary." Mari: "Yeah." Kaede: "I'm glad you were with me." Mari: "Me, too." Kyoko: "What a relief." Yui: "I'm glad Kaede-chan was there." Kyoko: "Yui, do you remember your first errand?" Yui: "No." Kyoko: "What? But we went together!" Yui: "Really? Sorry." Kyoko: "On our first errand, suddenly you..." Yui: "Okay. Let's take a shortcut!" Kyoko: "Yui! What a disaster that was." Yui: "You're definitely lying." Kaede: "Sister!" Both: "What?" Chitose: "You're so cute." Ayano: "Do you know her?" Mari: "Kaede-chan, what is it?" Kaede: "Do people change this much?" Kyoko: "More suspicious people! Ow." Both: "Hello." Woman: "Hello. You're not with your mothers today?" Kaede: "We're running errands." Mari: "Yeah." Woman: "Good for you." Kaede: "I'm getting tomatoes. What about you?" Mari: "I'm getting..." Mari: "Huh?" Mari: "Um..." Mari: "Oh, right." Yui: "Nice follow up." Kyoko: "By the way, can we get some juice?" Yui: "Control yourself." Mari: "We bought all our stuff." Kaede: "Yeah." Sakurako: "They seem to be getting along quite well." Himawari: "You're right." Himawari: "By the way, did we have to wear these?" Sakurako: "What are you talking about? They're essential!" Himawari: "Fine, whatever." Sakurako: "Yup." Himawari: "In any case, she didn't have trouble buying everything." Sakurako: "She can do it if she puts her mind to it." Himawari: "Not like you." Sakurako: "Even I can handle an errand!" Himawari: "When I asked you to get soy sauce the other day..." Sakurako: "Bad news, Himawari! I chased a cat and got lost!" Himawari: "What?" Sakurako: "I... I don't remember that." Kaede: "That was pretty easy." Mari: "Yeah. I could do this any—" Kaede: "Mari-chan! Are you okay? Did you injure yourself?" Kaede: "Does anything hurt?" Kaede: "What should we do?" Mari: "I won't cry. I'll deal with it." Kaede: "Wow, amazing. Then I'll cast a magic charm on you." Mari: "A charm?" Kaede: "Pain, pain," Kaede: "fly away!" Sakurako: "Some pain came flying at me!" Himawari: "You don't need to make stupid jokes." Yui: "Kaede-chan is so nice." Kyoko: "Yeah." Kyoko: "By the way, there's something that's been bothering me." Sakurako: "Someone's been following the girls." Himawari: "You can't be serious." Yui: "Seriously?" Kyoko: "Yeah. Look, over there." Sakurako: "They could be suspicious people. We need to chase them off." Himawari: "But how?" Sakurako: "I'll go!" Himawari: "What?" Sakurako: "It's a suspicious person!" Chitose: "I'm home." Chizuru: "Welcome home." Ayano: "Excuse the intrusion." Chitose: "Earlier, I had a little girl worry about me." Chizuru: "What?" Chizuru: "Could it be?" Ayano: "You're lucky you have a wooden bath." Chitose: "Really?" Ayano: "It's sort of elegant. The wood smells so pleasant. I'm jealous." Chizuru: "Sister, um..." Chizuru: "The girl you met today..." Chizuru: "It's nothing." Chizuru: "I'm going to bed soon." Chitose: "Okay. Good night." Ayano: "Good night." Chizuru: "Good night." Ayano: "Chizuru-san has changed recently." Chitose: "Isn't she a good girl? I'm so proud of my sister." Ayano: "Hey, this." Ayano: "How cute!" Chitose: "Thanks." Ayano: "How old are you in this photo?" Chitose: "Around five or six." Ayano: "You haven't changed at all." Chitose: "You think so? But Chizuru used to be so spoiled back then." Chizuru: "Sister." Chizuru: "Come with me to the bathroom." Chitose: "It's right there." Chizuru: "But it's dark." Chitose: "Oh, fine." Chizuru: "Sister, are you waiting?" Chitose: "I'm here." Chizuru: "Sister." Chitose: "I said I'm here." Chitose: "See? I'm here." Chitose: "She was like that all the time." Ayano: "How cute." Ayano: "Chizuru-san used to speak with a Kansai accent, too?" Chitose: "Yeah. Since moving here, she naturally lost it, though." Ayano: "So you can lose an accent." Chitose: "When we came here, I was uneasy, but now I'm having tons of fun." Chitose: "All thanks to you." Ayano: "Don't say that. You're embarrassing me." Ayano: "Thanks." Chitose: "Hey." Chitose: "Have you gotten used to talking to Toshino-san?" Ayano: "What? Where did that come from?" Chitose: "I felt like you've been talking to her more lately." Ayano: "Really? You really think so?" Chitose: "You seem happy." Ayano: "Don't make fun of me." Ayano: "I'm done talking about this. Let's talk about food instead." Chitose: "You're cute when you try to dodge questions." Ayano: "Let's go to sleep! I'm turning off the light!" Chitose: "Okay." Ayano: "Good night." Chitose: "Good night." Chitose: "Ayano-chan looks cute when she sleeps." Chitose: "Sorry for teasing you earlier." Ayano: "Chitose." Chitose: "Sorry. Did I wake you?" Chitose: "Was she sleep talking?" Chitose: "Is she dreaming about me? Come to think of it, I started getting nosebleeds because of Ayano-chan." Kyoko: "Ayano!" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko! What? What is it?" Kyoko: "I forgot to write my name on yesterday's handout." Ayano: "You're so hopeless." Chitose: "Ayano-chan looks so happy. Does she like Toshino-san? I was a little shocked when I realized it, but Ayano-chan is my best friend. If she's in love, then I have to fully support her." Chitose: "I want Ayano-chan to be happy." Chitose: "I want to see her happy." Chitose: "Ayano-chan holding hands with Toshino-san." Chitose: "Ayano-chan gazing into Toshino-san's eyes." Chitose: "Ayano-chan squeezing Toshino-san." Chitose: "Ayano-chan smooching Toshino-san." Chitose: "This is what makes Ayano-chan happy." Chitose: "And it's what makes me happy!" Ayano: "It's morning already?" Ayano: "What?" Chizuru: "I didn't get a wink of sleep." Akari: "This is kind of sad." Chinatsu: "I got dragged down with you." Both: "Yuru Yuri Cross Review!" Kyoko: "Ayano, do you like big ones or small ones?" Ayano: "Hey! What are you talking about?" Kyoko: "The size of balls." Kyoko: "What did you think I meant?" Ayano: "Well, I... It's nothing!" Kyoko: "The next episode is..." Ayano: ""With You, Forever."" Kyoko: ""With You, Forever!""

Sakura: "I'm Sakura Minamoto! I'm starting my second year of high school today!" Sakura: "Usually, I'm kind of a klutz, and there are times when I don't think I've got it together..." Sakura: "But it isn't gonna be like that anymore!" Sakura: "I'm gonna be the girl I want to be!" Sakura: "That way, I know..." Sakura: "There are gonna be days full of thrills and excitement waiting for me! I'm going now—" Sakura: "What do I do? What do I do?!" Sakura: "I made it... I think I made it out." Sakura: "Saga...?" Sakura: "Am I in Saga?" Cop: "Hey, sweetheart, you can't be out this late!" Cop: "What's the matter? You looking to get arrested? 'Cuz I'll arrest you!" Cop: "Personally, I want to go home. I'm soaked down to my underwear!" Sakura: "Officer, please, help!" Sakura: "Wha... you... Are you oka—" Cop: "Stay back!" Cop: "What the hell are you?!" Sakura: "Wha?" Cop: "A zombie?" Sakura: "What just happened?" Sakura: "What the hell? Why am I—" Sakura: "I can't remember! Not a thing!" Sakura: "What am I?!" Kotaro: "You're Sakura Minamoto." Sakura: "The guy from before..." Kotaro: "You died ten years ago." Sakura: "Say what?" Kotaro: "But you're back again now, as a zombie." Sakura: "Dead? Zombie?" Kotaro: "And from now on, as Zombie 1, you will work with your team to save Saga!" Sakura: "Um... I'm sorry. I have no idea what you're saying." Kotaro: "You'll figure it out soon, whether you want to or not." Kotaro: "Listen to me. From now on, you need to do what I tell you." Kotaro: "If you do, there'll be no problem." Sakura: "Why?" Kotaro: "My name is Kotaro Tatsumi." Sakura: "It's the strangest thing... He's..." Kotaro: "I'm the man who will make you into an idol!" Sakura: "Why does he..." Sakura: "...have squid in his pocket?" Kotaro: "Okay, ladies, good morning!" Kotaro: "I said good morning!" Sakura: "Good... mor... ning?" Kotaro: "You need to mind your manners. You can't get any respect without them. Look at the others. No one's acknowledging you." Kotaro: "Hey there, Romero. Good job wrangling the girls again today." Kotaro: "And so, here we are..." Kotaro: "Let's work hard to make you into the greatest idols, starting today!" Sakura: "E-Excuse me..." Kotaro: "Go ahead! And might I say, Sakura, you're looking pretty healthy today." Sakura: "I just... want to confirm something..." Kotaro: "Bring it on. Hit me." Sakura: "I'm... dead, right?" Kotaro: "Sure are. You're Zombie 1, that's you." Sakura: "I'm wondering... how I became a zombie..." Kotaro: "Come on. Haven't you seen a zombie movie before?" Sakura: "I have, for the record." Kotaro: "Well, there you go then." Sakura: "That's it?" Kotaro: "Does there have to be more to it?!" Kotaro: "A little bit of this, a little bit of that, and bang, you're out of the grave, right?! Isn't that all you really need for zombies?!" Kotaro: "Is that all you wanted to ask?" Sakura: "No, well, I also... Why am I going to be an idol?" Kotaro: "To save Saga." Sakura: "By being an idol?" Kotaro: "That's right." Kotaro: "In this day and age, regional idols are becoming a thing of the past. But because of that, the competition has died out as well. You're all going to capitalize on that and save Saga, which is itself on the verge of becoming a thing of the past. And boom." Kotaro: "We call it the Zombie Land Saga Project, baby!" Sakura: "But... I don't even remember anything from when I was alive. So asking me to be an idol or save Saga..." Kotaro: "No need to worry." Kotaro: "The others have even more baggage than you." Sakura: "Uh, and they are...?" Kotaro: "Curious?" Sakura: "Well, yes... I mean, this girl's bitten me thirteen times since this morning." Kotaro: "They're legends." Sakura: "Legends?" Kotaro: "That's right." Kotaro: "They're the legendary girls I have chosen and revived to save Saga." Kotaro: "And with you, they will form the ultimate team!" Kotaro: "At the turn of the century she conquered all of Kyushu with her gang, Dorami! The legendary biker boss, Saki Nikaido!" Kotaro: "This girl gave rise to the 1980s idol boom and was in a class of her own! The legendary Showa idol, Junko Konno! From the turbulent time spanning the death of the shogunate to the Meiji era, this woman was there at the moment of revolution! The legendary courtesan, Yugiri! After a major break out on a long-running period drama, she managed to leave her mark on the prime-time lineup of every network! The legendary child actress prodigy, Lily Hoshikawa! During the warring idol period following the year 2000, she was the implacable center for the ruling unit, Iron Frill! The legendary Heisei idol, Ai Mizuno!" Sakura: "Wait... isn't she..." Kotaro: "The legendary Tae Yamada! And they will be joining you on your—" Sakura: "Wait a second! Just a second!" Sakura: "That last one..." Kotaro: "The legendary Tae Yamada!" Sakura: "I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you. The legendary..." Kotaro: "Tae Yamada!" Sakura: "I mean, isn't there... anything else?" Kotaro: "Does there have to be?!" Sakura: "But what's her legend about—" Kotaro: "Who says a legend has to be about anything?!" Sakura: "Then isn't she just a normal zom—" Kotaro: "What makes you so legendary, then?! Go on, tell me! See, not a damn thing!" Kotaro: "From now on, you're the only one I won't call legendary!" Kotaro: "That being said, at the moment, they're all totally normal zombies." Kotaro: "They haven't woken up, after all." Sakura: "They need to wake up?" Kotaro: "That's right. I figure that with a little bit of stimulation, like you had, they'll eventually regain their consciousness." Sakura: "Stimulation?! What happened to me?!" Kotaro: "That being said, tonight you're all going to put on a very stimulating performance!" Sakura: "Don't try to brush— Wait, perform?" Kotaro: "Your first performance... is tonight!" Sakura: "Hang on!" Crowd: "It's a bunch of chicks!" Sakura: "This isn't even kinda idol-like!" Kotaro: "This was the only place that had an open stage policy." Sakura: "What the hell?! Why are we here?!" Crew: "Hey, hey, hey! No, no, no! You can't go gnawing on that! It costs a lot of money!" Kotaro: "So, what do you think of the special makeup skills I learned in Hollywood? Nobody's noticed that they're zombies." Sakura: "That isn't the real issue here!" Sakura: "Though, it's impressive..." Kotaro: "And yet you went and passed out yesterday after I tried it on you." Kotaro: "What's your problem, anyway?" Sakura: "Tae-chan?" Sakura: "Wh-Wh-What, what, what is this?! What's going on?!" Sakura: "No, no, no! They're gonna get mad at us again!" Kotaro: "You've got this." Sakura: "No, I don't! That should be obvious!" Kotaro: "I don't get it. What are you so worried about?" Sakura: "What am I... How can I do anything but worry?!" Sakura: "I'm the only one who's awake! And it's really obvious the others are zombies! And isn't a performance the kind of thing you gotta do a bunch of practice for?! What exactly are you expecting us to do?!" Kotaro: "Just trust your instincts." Sakura: "Tae-chan might bite somebody." Kotaro: "A little biting never hurt anybody." Sakura: "Are you stupid?" Kotaro: "Listen up!" Kotaro: "Nobody in that crowd is expecting a damn thing from you all. That goes for me, too. Not even a little bit." Sakura: "Then—" Kotaro: "And that's why!" Kotaro: "That's why you have to blow their expectations away! You will all turn Saga... No, you'll turn the entire world on its head!" Sakura: "We will...?" Tech: "Death Musume (Name Pending), you're on!" Kotaro: "Have some faith. You can do this." Sakura: "Kotaro-san..." Sakura: "No, I can't." Kotaro: "Okay, it's a go! Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!" Sakura: "U-Um, well, good evening... W-W-W-We are D-Death Musume!" Wig: "Come on, spit it out, girlie! What are idols doing here, anyway?!" Hochu: "You better not be making fun of death metal!" Sakura: "R-Right! Y-You can all call me Number 1." Wig: "No one cares! Get started already!" Hochu: "It's just gonna be crap, anyway!" Sakura: "I-I'm sorry!" Sakura: "They're so mad! What do I do? What do I do?!" Sakura: "I knew it!" Wig: "A stage dive?! They haven't even started playing yet!" Wig: "This is getting kinda hairy! I better not get in trouble for this!" Sakura: "Cut that out! Come on!" Hochu: "I can't believe they started with trying to mosh..." Wig: "That chick's actually kinda brutal." Sakura: "I knew it." Sakura: "Ugh, this is a huge mess!" Sakura: "Huh?" Kotaro: "Music, come on!" Crowd: "Huh?" Sakura: "What's this music?!" Wig: "What the hell? They're actually playing the real thing!" Hochu: "This music's for them?" Wig: "I like it! Show us what you got, little girl!" Sakura: "W-W-W-Wait!" Wig: "What is this? What're they doing?" Wig: "How can they headbang like that? It's like their necks are broken!" Sakura: "This feeling... Where have I..." Sakura: "I knew it wouldn't work." Sakura: "But..." Sakura: "I wonder what that was." Sakura: "Tae-chan?" Junko: "Help!" Ai: "What is this?" Junko: "Somebody, please, do something!" Lily: "I'm scared!" Yugiri: "What's going on? What's all the commotion?" Saki: "That was a good nap." Sakura: "W-Well..." Sakura: "G..." Sakura: "Good morning, everyone!"

Sakura: "Last time on Zombie Land Saga! We visited a park so that we could win the hearts of some old folks, but then a bunch of punks had us dancing between a rock and a hard place!" Sakura: "Did I stand out too much by being a babe or something? Plus, this particular punk was the daughter of Saki-chan's gal pal, which was really crazy! The head of Franchouchou went on an explosive chicken run for the sake of her old bestie's family! Then we ended up getting a bunch of rowdy new fans, and we were glad to have them!" Ai: "Okay, that's good." Saki: "Nice, nice! I can see us taking over already!" Ai: "Don't get too carried away." Saki: "I'm just saying, hypothetically!" Sakura: "Saki-chan seems really happy that one of her friends is a fan now." Sakura: "Lily-chan's been full of a lot more energy since her dad started coming to our shows, too." Sakura: "Ai-chan and Junko-chan have both been a lot more relaxed since summer and Saga Rock..." Sakura: "And I... still don't remember anything." Sakura: "What could've happened in my past?" Intro: "Even if we're dead, we want to make our dreams come true... No, even if we're dead, we will make them come true! Is that despair? Or is it hope? We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if we don't have a pulse, we'll press on! Because that is our saga!" Sakura: "Huh?! A concert for five hundred people?!" Kotaro: "That's right. The time has come." Saki: "What? Is that a lot?" Sakura: "I mean... it's five hundred people!" Ai: "I think the timing is about right. This won't be like the photo ops, business gigs, or shows where you share the ticket with other acts..." Ai: "Will you girls be able to fill five hundred seats?" Ai: "Well, will you, Sakura?! Okay! Well said! And so, that said, our venue for this concert..." Ai: "Karatsu's Furusato Exhibition Hall, Arpino!" Sakura: "Ar... pino?" Lily: "Where's that?" Kotaro: "Well, you see..." Kotaro: "It's right here!" Saki: "Huge!" Lily: "So much room!" Yugiri: "Feels like we're finally staking our own claim." Junko: "It's a different kind of tension you get than performing under an open sky." Ai: "This takes me back... This is where my first show in Saga was." Sakura: "I feel like I recognize this place, too..." Sakura: "Maybe I came here before as well..." Kotaro: "In recent years, this multi-purpose hall has not served as a venue for many musical events." Kotaro: "But Franchouchou will change that perception. You're going to have people recognize Arpino as a venue, which will be your first step in saving Saga." Sakura: "That feeling!" Sakura: "I'm so excited for some reason! Maybe there's something about that place that connects to my past?! And maybe when we do the show, I'll be able to figure it out! Nope! Can't sleep at all! Guess I better go practice!" Ai: "Sakura!" Ai: "Sakura!" Sakura: "What is it?" Ai: "You're rushing too far ahead. Try and match everyone else's pace." Sakura: "Oh, sorry!" Ai: "You need a break?" Sakura: "Why, of course not! Heck, I'm ready for a lot more practice, to be honest! This is a whole show just for us! Have to make sure it's a proper performance, wouldn't you say?" Saki: "You sound really weird." Sakura: "Whatever do you mean? Oh, by the way, I was practicing at night and came up with an idea... During the hook, maybe we could add an additional step?" Ai: "Shouldn't we be focusing on trying to get the basic pattern down first?" Sakura: "I know what you mean, but just... Check this out real quick. Okay? You'll think it's super cute!" Ai: "We can take a look, but..." Sakura: "Oh, wait! Since the weather is so nice today, maybe we should practice outdoors! Yeah! Maybe on the roof!" Saki: "This place don't even have roof access. You wanna die?" Kotaro: "Good mornindle-lay-hee-hoo! Anyway, today, I've got a special training menu to set you all up for the concert!" Sakura: "A special menu...?" Kotaro: "Starting today, you're all gonna be staying in the mountains!" Sakura: "The... mountains? Now?" Kotaro: "It's gotta be now! Whenever a big thing happens, there's always a training sequence in the mountains! Then you get all banged up... and much stronger... And return!" Kotaro: "Nobody is allowed off the mountain until I come and get you-dle-ay-hee-hoo!" Sakura: "Do you think there's any real point to this?" Saki: "Hell if I know. But if he's just making crap up, I'm gonna smash shady's shades." Ai: "This looks like the spot." Yugiri: "Well, there really isn't a single thing up here, is there?" Junko: "I'm not sure I can spend long up here..." Lily: "I know I can't!" Saki: "This is looking pretty rough." Sakura: "What do we do? We can't practice in a place like this!" Saki: "What do you think happens if a zombie freezes?" Ai: "Hard to say. You'll probably be able to move again after thawing out. Assuming you don't get eaten by wild animals..." Junko: "E-Eat—?! We'd better not freeze, then!" Saki: "Someone already did. Tae." Sakura: "Tae-chan!" Saki: "Wish we had a fire or something..." Lily: "I can start one!" Saki: "For real?" Lily: "I was the star of Girl Scout Mania Case Files 3, y'know!" Saki: "Never heard of it." Yugiri: "In that case, I'll try to find something for us to eat." Ai: "I guess if we want to get anything done, we can't sit around." Junko: "Right." Sakura: "Well, what about practicing?" Sakura: "We have that big show coming up." Saki: "Yeah, but we gotta figure out how to survive out here first." Junko: "Although, we're already dead." Saki: "I'm gonna go grab some branches or whatever and make firewood! Branches from pine trees and pine cones are good!" Yugiri: "Sakura-han, let's worry about practicing after everyone has settled in." Saki: "Check it out, shrimpy! I got a crapload of pine branches for you!" Saki: "See! Get a load of this!" Lily: "Oh, no! I told you, you have to let them dry out by the fire first!" Saki: "Oh, right." Yugiri: "Look here. I found some tasty-looking mushrooms. Though, some of them may be poisonous..." Saki: "We can eat 'em anyway! 'Cuz we're zombies!" Ai: "Stop!" Sakura: "What are you doing?" Ai: "Just what it looks like. I'm hunting." Sakura: "Hunting?" Ai: "Shh! Look at the base of that tree." Sakura: "You're gonna shoot that cute little piggy?!" Sakura: "Sorry..." Ai: "It's okay. I've got sharper kinetic vision than the others, so finding animals isn't a problem." Sakura: "R-Really?" Ai: "I'm going to find some new prey. You want to come along?" Sakura: "Nah. I don't think so." Junko: "Sakura-san." Sakura: "You're fishing, Junko-chan?" Junko: "Yes. I think sitting still like this might be what I'm best suited to." Sakura: "Really?" Junko: "There seems to be a lot going on." Sakura: "Where?" Junko: "In your heart, Sakura-san." Junko: "Is something bothering you?" Sakura: "Yeah. Well, more like I'm worried if everyone is okay... I guess we should really practice more to make sure the actual show goes well." Junko: "Of course. But panicking would be bad, too." Junko: "When you don't catch any fish, you start to consider a lot of things." Junko: "What depth are the fish swimming at?" Junko: "Did you use the right bait? Is the fishing spot a good one? When you're calm and examine things from different angles," Junko: "you can figure things like that out." : "We did it!" Sakura: "I have to make sure I've got it down before the show!" Sakura: "Somehow... Even if I'm by myself!" Saki: "We've been up here for a while now... I figure we've about got the wilderness thing down. But there's one important thing we haven't taken care of yet. Something we absolutely gotta do..." Sakura: "Saki-chan! What a relief! You didn't forget after all!" Saki: "'Course not!" Saki: "We gotta eat some meat." Saki: "We haven't had any up here! We're zombies, right? Gotta eat meat!" Ai: "That baby boar is really cautious..." Saki: "It's not your fault, Ai. We weren't ready to tangle with wild animals. We've gotta work together or it's not gonna happen!" Saki: "All right, let's start talking about who does what." Lily: "Okay!" Junko: "Understood." Ai: "Okay." Junko: "The trap should be perfectly concealed now." Saki: "All right, he should be showing up any time now..." Sakura: "Hang on a second!" Ai: "Incoming!" Saki: "Hide!" Sakura: "Hey, wait—" Yugiri: "Sakura-han!" Saki: "Damn it, stupid! After all we—" Ai: "Wait." Saki: "Hold still!" Lily: "There it is!" Saki: "What the hell is that thing?!" Junko: "Maybe the daddy boar?" Yugiri: "That pit wasn't nearly big enough." Ai: "This... is probably really bad, right?" Sakura: "What do I do? What do I do?! What do I do?! What do I do?!" Saki: "Damn it! What do we do?!" Yugiri: "I know! When I was in Shimabara, one of the Joi revolutionaries mentioned something... Sakura-han, play dead! Try playing dead." Junko: "She's actually dead, though." Saki: "Sakura!" Saki: "He ate her!" Sakura: "Eep!" Saki: "Sakura!" Saki: "And safe!" Saki: "Hey! Sakura! You okay?!" Sakura: "This is weird." Saki: "Yeah. That thing was way too big." Sakura: "Not what I meant." Sakura: "This isn't right. We should be trying to wrestle with this show, not with a boar. We're supposed to be showered in cheers, not drool. We've got barely any time left, so we really shouldn't be in a place like this, doing stuff like this." Saki: "Oh, that's what you meant." Kotaro: "Ladies!" Kotaro: "Good mo-mo-mornindle-lay-dee-hoo!" Kotaro: "How'd it go? Did you figure anything out by being cooped up in the mountains-lay-dee-hoo?" Sakura: "Can't you tell from looking at me? There's no way any of this nonsense would help us figure anything out. We have a show coming up. Why are we even in the mountains? And why a boar? I don't understand any part of this." Kotaro: "You don't?" Kotaro: "Then you need to just close your eyes and open your ears. Let the voice of Mother Gaia reach you, and remember! The fact that you are never alone!" Sakura: "Seriously, I've had enough!" Kotaro: "Huh?" Sakura: "I'm heading back." Kotaro: "Huh?" Saki: "Man, now what're we gonna do?" Kotaro: "We're pulling out!" Sakura: "What do I do...? Things have been really awkward because of what happened yesterday." Sakura: "But there's hardly any time left until the big show..." Sakura: "At this rate, we're not going to get any rehearsing done..." Ai: "Sakura!" Ai: "You've been too far ahead the whole time." Ai: "Remember what I said before? You need to match everyone else's pace." Ai: "You won't be dancing by yourself, after all." Ai: "Let's take it from the top, okay?" Sakura: "It's not my fault we're not in sync... While you were all goofing off in the mountains, I was practicing by myself!" Saki: "What the hell's gotten into her?" Chef: "Welco— Huh?" Yugiri: "Courtesan on the premises." Kotaro: "What do you want?" Yugiri: "I'm here to dance, of course." Kotaro: "Why would you do that?" Yugiri: "You know, I did some geisha training as well." Kotaro: "That's not a real answer." Kotaro: "You sent us into the mountains hoping Sakura-han would cool her head a bit, didn't you?" Kotaro: "Am I wrong?" Kotaro: "The strength of being in a group is the ability to make up for individual deficiencies... Which results in greater collective strength." Kotaro: "If she's got blinders on and can't see around her, there's no point." Yugiri: "You could've just told her that." Kotaro: "She won't grow unless she realizes it herself." Kotaro: "You seem to be especially kind with Sakura-han." Kotaro: "I just wanna save Saga." Yugiri: "I've got a soft spot for people who aren't good at expressing themselves, mind you." Kotaro: "It's a long, harsh road to solving Saga's depopulation problem." Kotaro: "It feels like every time we reach one peak, an even taller one comes into sight." Kotaro: "We're deep in the mountains, and it's not going to be easy to make our way through. I have faith she can do it, but—" Yugiri: "I don't want to hear this weak-minded nonsense, Kotaro-han! There's no mountain range Sakura-han can't make her way across!" Kotaro: "Uh... Yeah... I was just saying—" Yugiri: "Have some faith in her!" Yugiri: "But I just said I do?" Yugiri: "I did, didn't I? You saw." Sakura: "What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do...? Things keep getting more awkward!" Sakura: "But... I want to make sure this show is a success, no matter what." Sakura: "The venue might have a connection to when I was alive..." Sakura: "And it's a show that could be a big opportunity for us. We need to do everything we can!" Sakura: "It's okay! I'm sure I feel the right way about this! And once everything works out, I bet they'll all understand!" Ai: "Okay, you're all clear on your positions, right?" : "Yeah!" Ai: "Okay, let's try it again from the top." Sakura: "Come to think of it, I've never watched from the outside like this..." Sakura: "Wow! They've all got the timing perfect..." Saki: "Hey, about here... Feels kinda like I'm standing around for too long, not enough movement." Yugiri: "Oh, where we're across from each other?" Saki: "Yeah, that's the bit I mean!" Ai: "Well, since Arpino has a lot of room, you want to try spreading out further on the sides? To around mark five?" Saki: "Oh, I get you!" Ai: "The extra space would give Junko and I more room to move..." Junko: "That's right." Lily: "Hey, in that case, should Tae-chan and I switch places for that part?" Ai: "It'd be like we're moving around Sakura. I think that might work. Let's do that!" Saki: "All right, I think this is shaping up!" Sakura: "They haven't been rehearsing at all, but they're in total sync..." Sakura: "It must be because they were all working together in those harsh conditions. I was the only one who wasn't..." Saki: "Sakura." Sakura: "I'm sorry!" Sakura: "I... I was only thinking about myself." Sakura: "Ever since I heard we'd be doing that show at Arpino, I've been too worked up... I was so fixated on doing it right, doing a great job..." Sakura: "I thought less and less about the rest of you..." Sakura: "And I forgot I was a member of Franchouchou." Saki: "Yeah, that figures. I thought you were a little hot under the collar." Kotaro: "Took you too long to notice!" Sakura: "Kotaro-san?" Kotaro: "The name Arpino comes from the Nijinomatsubara pine forest..." Kotaro: "Pine as in alpine, and alpine means the Alps!" Kotaro: "In other words, the mountains!" Kotaro: "Climb the mountain inside yourself!" Sakura: "I have no idea what you're trying to say... but I'll do my best!" Sakura: "Everyone..." Sakura: "All right! Let's get back to work, and really give it our all!" : "Yeah!" Saki: "All right!" Yugiri: "I'm glad it worked out." Kotaro: "What are you talking about?" Sakura: "Good morning, Ai-chan! I'm gonna go running!" Ai: "Be careful around traffic!" Sakura: "Okay! There's one week left until our the first big show we'll be doing by ourselves! I've got our songs and dances all memorized perfectly, and I'm in sync with the others! And, more than anything, I'm really looking forward to it! Plus, if I get onto that stage, maybe I'll be able to remember something... Then maybe I can deal with my past! I get the feeling even more exciting days are gonna be ahead!" Sakura: "Come on, Romero! I'm going now—" Guy: "What the hell?! What the hell?! You okay?! You okay—" Guy: "Gotta help! Gotta do something!" Sakura: "Where am I...?"

Sakura: "Previously on Zombie Land Saga! Franchouchou is set to do a show with five hundred people in the audience! Plus, when I realized the venue might have a connection to my missing memories, I reached max hype levels! After seeing me like that, Kotaro-san's plan was training in the mountains, somehow?! As I watched everyone focus more on wilderness survival instead of rehearsal, my max hype had me harrumphing up a storm! But then, after I saw how they made use of their experience in the mountains for idol stuff, it made me realize something! That I was the one who had lost sight of things! And the moment max-hype Sakura found her faith in her friends again and decided to look forward, she was hit by a max-hype truck that came in from the side!" Intro: "Even if we're dead, we want to make our dreams come true... No, even if we're dead, we will make them come true! Is that despair? Or is it hope? We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if we don't have a pulse, we'll press on! Because that is our saga!" Sakura: "What was I doing...?" Sakura: "Where am I?" Sakura: "I'm sorry!" Saki: "What the hell, man?" Saki: "Sakura?" Lily: "Sakura-chan! You're awake!" Junko: "That's a relief." Saki: "Sakura?" Ai: "Hey!" Saki: "What's wrong?" Junko: "Sakura-san...?" Saki: "What? Did you lose your marbles again?" Sakura: "I can't..." Lily: "Sakura-chan?" Sakura: "It doesn't matter what I try..." Sakura: "Even trying is pointless." Saki: "Man, no telling what's up this time." Junko: "She was afraid of us, wasn't she?" Yugiri: "Shall I try slapping her?" Ai: "Wait! I think I might know..." Sakura: "See what I mean?" Sakura: "I really don't have what it takes." Sakura: "What just happened?" Ai: "Are you okay?" Sakura: "Ai Mizuno? What?" Sakura: "What are you doing here?!" Ai: "Hey, do you remember who you are?" Sakura: "I'm Sakura Minamoto." Ai: "What about your address? Phone number? Your family?" Ai: "Y-Yeah, I do... It's like I thought." Sakura: "Hey! You're... Ai Mizuno-san from Iron Frill, right?" Ai: "Sakura..." Sakura: "Yes?!" Ai: "I'm going to explain why you're here and what's happened to you, so I need you to stay calm." Ai: "You're... already dead. You're a zombie." Sakura: "What?" Sakura: "What are you talking about?" Ai: "Ten years ago..." Ai: "you died, probably in an accident of some kind." Sakura: "What...?" Lily: "You think Sakura-chan is gonna be okay?" Yugiri: "We shouldn't have much to worry about if Ai-han is dealing with it." Saki: "Damn it! Where the hell is shades at a time like this?" Junko: "He left this morning, saying something about business..." Saki: "Hey!" Lily: "What about Sakura-chan? How is she?" Ai: "Well... I'm not positive, but" Ai: "it looks like getting hit by that truck yesterday has brought back her memories of her life." Saki: "For real?!" Ai: "But now she doesn't remember anything since she became a zombie." Saki: "No way..." Ai: "I've explained everything I could for now. About how we're all zombies, and about Franchouchou." Ai: "These are the members of the group I was telling you about." Lily: "Do you really not remember us?" Sakura: "I-I'm sorry..." Saki: "So does this mean Sakura won't be able to do the show?!" Saki: "Show...?" Ai: "We were going to do our first show with 500 fans in attendance." Ai: "It's coming up, at a place called Arpino." Sakura: "Arpino...?" Ai: "It's a really big event for us." Sakura: "Arpino..." Ai: "We've all been practicing really hard to get ready for it. Including you. You might be confused at the moment," Ai: "but I know you'll be ready to get on stage when the time comes." Sakura: "I really..." Sakura: "I really became an idol...?" Sakura: "No. You can go without me." Saki: "Don't sweat it! You'll remember it all if you rehearse some! Okay?" Sakura: "That's not what I mean. I just can't do it." Saki: "You don't know that without trying!" Sakura: "I don't want to!" Sakura: "Stuff like working towards something..." Sakura: "I don't have what it takes." Saki: "Don't have it? Don't have what?" Sakura: "It means that no matter what I do, it never works out." Sakura: "Every time I try, I just end up suffering for it." Saki: "Hey..." Sakura: "Excuse me." Saki: "Hey!" Junko: "And right after she was finally back to normal..." Yugiri: "This makes the trouble from the mountains look like nothing." Saki: "Wait, does this mean Sakura's quitting Franchouchou?!" Xu Fu: "Well, how's it going?" Kotaro: "Well... we're getting there, I guess." Xu Fu: "When you first told me about your little plan, I thought your damn brains had gone rotten." Xu Fu: "What'd you call it again? "The Original Zombie Village: Hizen's Highway Dream Project"?" Kotaro: "The Zombie Land Saga Project." Xu Fu: "Yeah, that. "To manifest great compassion, and to act for the sake of man," huh?" Kotaro: "Jocho Yamamoto's Hagakure." Kotaro: "I wouldn't say it's anything that noble." Xu Fu: "Just keep your hands off Yugiri. I owe that girl a hell of a lot." Kotaro: "And how long ago are you talking?" Xu Fu: "Those were some good times. Real interesting." Kotaro: "You realize how uncool adults who don't stop talking about the good old days are, don't you?" Xu Fu: "That's rich, coming from you." Saki: "Damn it, man. I just can't get into it." Junko: "It'd be crazy to expect anyone to be able to focus, considering." Lily: "Do you think she's gonna forget me forever?" Ai: "I understand how you all feel..." Ai: "but we have to hang in there, or this show is going to fall apart." Ai: "The people coming to see us don't know what our troubles are." Saki: "Yeah, but..." Ai: "It'll be okay." Ai: "Let's trust her and wait." Saki: "Damn, I'm all sweaty." Saki: "Gonna go wash off again." Sakura: "You can keep asking me, but my answer won't change." Saki: "You were seriously fired up for this!" Sakura: "Something must've been wrong with me, then. Just forget about it." Saki: "You think I can do that?! You wanna die?!" Sakura: "Arguing isn't going to make a difference. I have nothing else to say. You can yell at me all you want." Saki: "Damn it, you stupid little—" Saki: "Stop that." Saki: "Enough already!" Saki: "Damn it! Damn it!" Junko: "I think I'll go listen to the sound of waves in a seashell." Junko: "Sakura-san..." Sakura: "If you have something to say, please get on with it." Junko: "Um... I..." Lily: "Huh? The stars are calling me!" Lily: "I'm gonna go look at the sky!" Lily: "Sakura-chan... you still don't remember me?" Sakura: "How old are you?" Lily: "I'm twelve years old forever! Magically!" Sakura: "It must be nice. Since you're cute. Like that star you were wearing." Lily: "That's right! Before you said you thought that star and my smile were cute!" Lily: "I really loved it when you were doing idol stuff! And I think you're really cute!" Sakura: "Well? Do I look cute wearing this?" Lily: "That's not where it goes." Sakura: "If you're cute, it'll look cute no matter where you put it." Sakura: "But the more cute I try to be, the less cute I am." Sakura: "Because I don't have what it takes!" Sakura: "How many times do I have to say it?" Sakura: "I am not going to be an idol!" Yugiri: "I suppose it's time to get the room ready." Yugiri: "Sakura-han..." Yugiri: "The greatest courtesan of the city is entering." Yugiri: "Huh? She's gone." Saki: "Where the hell has that idiot gone?" Yugiri: "This is troubling..." Lily: "What was the pup doing?!" Junko: "Romero-chan couldn't have known what was going on with Sakura-san." Kotaro: "Wh-What?! Wh-Wh-Why's everyone up to greet me?!" Sakura: "They all might think otherwise, but this is for the best." Sakura: "If I was around, it'd just ruin everything." Sakura: "The school play we were doing in third grade... I was picked to be the star. It was a title that was pretty tough for a grade schooler, but I practiced until late every night until I could recite the entire thing with no mistakes." Sakura: "But the day of the show..." Sakura: "I got sick despite having my shots, and missed the play." Sakura: "Bad memories." Sakura: "When I was in fourth grade, I was picked to be on the relay team for our field day." Sakura: "I trained until late every night, until I had the best time in our school." Sakura: "But the day of the race..." Sakura: "I managed to pull a muscle during the opening ceremony, and had to forfeit." Sakura: "I kept training so I could make a comeback..." Sakura: "And was on the relay team in fifth and sixth grade, too." Sakura: "But... every time, I would pull a muscle during the opening ceremony." Sakura: "More bad memories." Sakura: "The first year of middle school..." Sakura: "That summer, I started focusing on my high school entrance exams. I wanted to wipe away all the misfortune my life had been full of, so I tried to get into the best school in the prefecture... I didn't keep up with the music, TV shows, friends, and other things that I loved. I dedicated my entire middle school life to studying." Sakura: "And as a result, I got an A rating on the mock exam before the real deal!" Sakura: "And then, on the day of the actual exam... While I was on my way from the hotel I was staying at to be close to the exam location, I ran into multiple old ladies who were in trouble. I just made it in time for the start of the exam, but I was in a panic as I took the test and kept making mistakes." Sakura: "I didn't make it into my school of choice..." Sakura: "Bad memories." Sakura: "All I can remember is bad stuff. They're being ridiculous. Even if she is the real Ai Mizuno..." Sakura: "There's no way I could be an idol." end: "It seems like such a waste for you to go straight home. I mean, you're really good at sports and other physical stuff!" Sakura: "I told you, I'm not gonna bother anymore. Even if I try, it's a waste of time." Sakura: "The harder I try, the worse things turn out. I just don't have what it takes. I'd be stupid to keep trying to just fail again." Ai: "I guess it's because I don't think mistakes or failures are a bad thing." Ai: "Because they always end up helping with whatever happens next." Ai: "And I really believe I'll only be the best version of me once I overcome it all." Sakura: ""It's because I don't think mistakes or failures are a bad thing."" Sakura: "Hey, I did try." Sakura: "And when I was sure it was going to work out this time, I got into an accident..." Sakura: "And now I'm a freaking zombie." Sakura: "How little luck can one person have?" Cop: "Hey, what's got you out so late? You wanna get arrested? You want me to arrest you, huh? You run away from home? Fight with the boyfriend? Teenage angst?" Sakura: "I don't care anymore." Cop: "Well, for now, come with me to the..." Cop: "Another one!" Kotaro: "This isn't where you belong right now," Kotaro: "Sakura Minamoto." Sakura: "Who're you?" Kotaro: "I'm Kotaro Tatsumi, damn it!" Sakura: "Why exactly did you bring me out here?" Kotaro: "That's Nijinomatsubara Forest." Sakura: "I know." Sakura: "It's too dark to see anything, though." Kotaro: "That's you right now." Kotaro: "But there are points of light all around you. Even in Saga, there's a person for every one of the lights you see." Sakura: "What are you getting at, exactly?" Kotaro: "There are people among those lights waiting for Nijinomatsubara to shine..." Kotaro: "Waiting for you to shine, as an idol." Kotaro: "I mean, there's gotta be two or three." Sakura: "Look, just do your show without me. I'm sure it'll be better if I'm not there." Sakura: "I just don't have what it takes." Kotaro: "You seriously don't want to be an idol?" Kotaro: "Can you tell me that you honestly don't feel that way, at all?" Sakura: "I mean..." Sakura: "I want to be like Ai-chan. I want to be strong like her!" Ai: "Come on everybody! Here we go!" Sakura: "I wonder if I'll be able to smile as dazzlingly as that?" Sakura: "One more time... I'll try one more time!" Sakura: "I can't be scared of trying my best!" Sakura: "And this is what happened." Sakura: "I should've known that nothing I try will work... and that the right choice is to give up." Sakura: "But I got my hopes up, like an idiot, about being an idol... And when I rushed out earlier than usual, I got hit by a truck and died. This is just who I am." Kotaro: "But you came back to life. As an idol who can save Saga." Sakura: "Save Saga? As an idol?!" Sakura: "Why me? I didn't ask to become a zombie!" Kotaro: "A time will come when you'll understand." Sakura: "There's no way that's true!" Sakura: "I'm the girl who tried, and died for her efforts! Who else has luck that bad?! This idol stuff and saving Saga... You can all do it just fine without me!" Sakura: "Please just... don't drag me into this." Kotaro: "All right. I see." Kotaro: "Then go wherever you want!" Kotaro: "If that's the limit to how you feel, you can spend your life feeling this way!" Kotaro: "Even if your life's already over!" Sakura: "You don't have to rub it in... I know I'm stuck this way." Sakura: "I should've never come back." Kotaro: "Yeah, you thought I was done, huh?" Kotaro: "But I'm not gonna go along with your negative spiral that easy, moron!" Sakura: "Enough already! You don't know anything about me! You've never even died—" Kotaro: "I have what it takes! Doesn't matter if you don't, as long as I do have what it takes! And I've got something... big... and, like... impressive! I've got this real big and impressive... thing! Listen to me, Sakura! I'm telling you that I will never abandon you!"

Lily: "Do you really not remember us?" Sakura: "I'm sorry..." Ai: "You're already dead. You're a zombie." Saki: "Does this mean Sakura won't be able to do the show?!" Ai: "I know you'll be ready to get on stage when the time comes." Sakura: "No. You can go without me. Every time I try, I just end up suffering for it." Kotaro: "This isn't where you belong right now." Sakura: "This idol stuff and saving Saga... You can all do it just fine without me! You don't know anything about me! You've never even died—" Kotaro: "I have what it takes! Listen to me, Sakura! I'm telling you... that I will never abandon you!" Kotaro: "Heygoodmorning!" Yugiri: "And a good morning to you." Kotaro: "Yeah! Oh, Sakura! I thought you were gonna play hooky again today, but you actually showed! Good morning!" Kotaro: "Now, you need to mind your manners. You can't get any respect without them." Sakura: "I don't really care if I'm respected..." Kotaro: "I'm still going to make you earn respect." Kotaro: "You can sulk and give me all the dead-eyed looks you want, it won't faze me. You're going on stage." Sakura: "I know this..." Ai: "Sakura?" Ai: "What did you think?" Kotaro: "You're going on stage." Sakura: "There's no way I can do it." Sakura: "What? You're kinda scaring me." Saki: "Sakura, we've got lessons tomorrow at the same time." Ai: "And then in the evening, we're passing out fliers. We'll all be going together." Saki: "Come and check us out!" Saki: "Thank you!" Sakura: "What were you thinking? Idiot." 1: "Number 1! Can I shake your hand?" 1: "I love your singing and dancing! It just fills me with a ton of energy!" 2: "We're always rooting for you! We can't wait for the Arpino show!" Saki: "Hey, thanks, you two! We appreciate it! I'll remember your faces, now. If you don't show, you better watch your backs on the streets of Saga!" 1: "Number 2! We're definitely coming!" 2: "Good luck with the show!" Saki: "Yeah! Seeya there! Y'know," Saki: "you're pretty popular." : "I love your singing and dancing!" Sakura: "I wonder what my singing and dancing were like..." Sakura: "Yeah... that's how it always goes. I start to get my hopes up, then screw up, and then regret it all..." Sakura: "This is for the best. I won't be the only one failing, otherwise." Kotaro: "I will never abandon you!" Sakura: "I can't think about that! There's no way this'll work out! I know that better than anyone!" Sakura: "I don't care, okay?! Leave me alone!" Ai: "I knew that was going too far." Saki: "Aw, damn it! What're we gonna do? There's, like, no time left." Lily: "Will we really have to do the show without Sakura-chan...?" Saki: "She's not gonna smash the door down, is she?" Junko: "I reinforced the door when I fixed it, so I don't think she can." Lily: "Tae-chan's crying!" Saki: "For real?!" Junko: "Uh, I think that's drool." Saki: "This... seems bad, right?" Ai: "Maybe she's experiencing withdrawal from the lack of attention?" Saki: "What the hell?" Lily: "I dunno!" Sakura: "What is this?" Saki: "Tae! What are you—" Sakura: "One, two! One, two!" Sakura: "Tae-chan! Pay attention!" Sakura: "One, two, one, two! You did it! That's great, Tae-chan!" Yugiri: "I see now." Saki: "Sakura was real persistent with that stuff, huh?" Junko: "Yes. She would never give up." Lily: "And I bet that made Tae-chan happy. She probably had a lot of fun! That's why now..." Ai: "She's trying to teach Sakura." Saki: "When someone is in trouble or screws up, Sakura would be the first to back them up." Ai: "As awkward as she could be at times..." Junko: "Whenever I was worried, Sakura-san was the one who would try to encourage me." Lily: "She always listened to me, too! So this time we get to pay her back!" Junko: "Since we're not the ones who're really in trouble. It's Sakura-san." Ai: "Let's work together again to see if there's anything we can do." Saki: "Yeah, that's it! That's what Team Franchouchou is here for! When someone's in trouble, you have their back! Sakura! We're definitely gonna figure out a way to—" Sakura: "Seriously, there's no need. The biggest problem right now is that you're all getting so excited for something I can't even remember. Well, if you'll excuse me." Yugiri: "Sakura-han. You need to stop running away." Yugiri: "You have a responsibility for the way you've encouraged us this far. Whether you remember it or not, you're going to dance with us." Sakura: "Of all the selfish—" Yugiri: "I'm fully aware how selfish and self-centered it is!" Sakura: "Why do all of you care so much about me?" Sakura: "What difference does it make if I'm not here?!" Yugiri: "Look at their faces! We know full well that your luck is bad," Yugiri: "and that you don't remember anything..." Yugiri: "But be that as it may, we need you, Sakura-han." Yugiri: "This is a group of strong-willed individuals..." Yugiri: "If it wasn't for you, we never would've held together for this long." Yugiri: "Seeing Tae-han made me realize something." Yugiri: "If the alternative is having a successful show without you, Sakura-han..." Yugiri: "We would rather go on stage and fail with you." Yugiri: "Please, try to understand that." Ai: "Sakura... You seem to think you're the only one with bad luck," Ai: "but you're forgetting something important." Ai: "We're all zombies. We've all died." Ai: "Nobody here is lucky." Ai: "I don't think mistakes or failures are a bad thing." Ai: "Because they always end up helping with whatever happens next. I believe I'll only be the best version of me once I overcome it all." Sakura: "You know your show could really fall apart because of me?" Yugiri: "It's like I said. We're fully aware of that." Saki: "Hey, push comes to shove, it's shades' ass on the line. So don't sweat it." Lily: "That was really amazing! You were dancing, Sakura-chan!" Ai: "I guess that means your muscle memory retained it all." Junko: "She did practice the most out of all of us..." Sakura: "I knew it..." Saki: "Sakura." Saki: "Huh, looks like it's cracked." Ai: "I say we test it. What happens when peo—" Ai: "When zombies with such bad luck gather together." Sakura: "But you've all been rehearsing so hard..." Lily: "So did you!" Lily: "You were practicing with us, Sakura-chan!" Junko: "We're in this to the end. Appropriately, for zombies." Ai: "Sakura..." Ai: "All we can really do is try our best." Ai: "That's all there is to it." Kotaro: "The explosive low pressure front that was over the East China Sea this morning is headed directly towards Kyushu, and is anticipated to hit northern Kyushu by tomorrow evening. We recommend being prepared for heavy snow, and remaining indoors whenever possible." Sakura: "Thanks, Inui-kun!" Kotaro: "Tonight is the... beginning of... Franchouchou's true legend! You're going to demonstrate your undeadly resolve and your zombie spirit to the people who show up!" : "Yeah!" Okoba: "They say it's the heaviest Saga snowfall on record." Inubashi: "The buses have stopped running, too. These girls have the worst luck." Saki: "All right, thanks! We'll be counting on you during the show, too!" Staff: "Reminds me of when Iron Frill was here." Staff 2: "There haven't been any concerts since, yeah." Staff: "I hope these Franchouchou girls can do a good job." Staff B: "Yeah." Ai: "All we can do is put on the best performance we can." Ai: "So don't worry about anything else." Ai: "Everything went perfect in rehearsal." Sakura: "Thank you..." Cop: "Down comes the snow, and down comes the hail... What other direction would it come in, even?" Maria: "This cold ain't so bad! You've just gotta have the guts to take it!" Death Metal A: "We're not gonna let the snow get us down!" Inubashi: "Well, this was unexpected." Kotaro: "You have to answer them." Kotaro: "I know you can do it." Ai: "All right, form up." Ai: "It's okay. The practice we've done until now... And the friends you're with... have faith in them." Saki: "Hell yeah! Who's ready to take over Saga?!" : "Yeah!" Sakura: "It's no good. They came all this way through all this snow to see us... If something happens again... What will I do?!" Saki: "Here we go, Arpino! Glad to have you!" Staff 1: "Call it off, quick!" Staff 2: "Right!" Kotaro: "Wait." Sakura: "I knew this would happen." Sakura: "And I ended up dragging them all down..." Yugiri: "If the alternative is having a successful show without you, Sakura-han..." Yugiri: "We would rather go on stage and fail with you." Ai: "I don't think mistakes or failures are a bad thing." Kotaro: "I have what it takes! Doesn't matter if you don't, as long as I do have what it takes!" Kotaro: "Answer their feelings, Sakura." Kotaro: "Your true strength..." Kotaro: "comes when you're up against the wall." Kotaro: "That's when it shows." Deathmetal A: "Franchouchou!" Maria: "Number 2!" s: "Number 1!" Saki: "Sakura, did you...?" Ai: "Are your memories are back?" Sakura: "Yeah..." Sakura: "Everyone, I'm really sorry for how I acted." Ai: "It's okay!" Saki: "Damn it, girl, you had us worried!" Lily: "No wonder you looked so sharp!" Junko: "It really was a wonderful performance!" Yugiri: "It's really good to have you back." Sakura: "Listen, if you really don't mind having me and all my bad luck around..." Sakura: "Is it okay if we... as Franchouchou..." Junko: "What are you saying?" Ai: "Of course!" Sakura: "Everyone...!" Kotaro: "Damn it! What the— What is this?! This bright eyed "we did it" stuff?! You dumbass zombies! Don't get it twisted, all right?! You haven't even saved the tiniest bit of Saga yet! Get that through your heads and give that crowd what they want! Franchouchou's battle has only begun! Now, go, go, go! Go, go, go-go, go!" Death Metal A: "Number 0!" Maria: "Number 2!" : "Ready, go!" Sakura: "Saga!" Sakura: "Good morning!" Inubashi: "Okoba-san! How'd you like the pictures from the other day? Huh? What you got there?"

C: "" Sakura: "Last time on Zombie Land Saga! I'm Sakura Minamoto, a high school girl with a heart full of hope and dreams! One day, I died suddenly after an unfortunate accident! So sad! But then it's like, good morning! Wait, how's this happening?! I got chased by scary people, a policeman shot me, and this weirdo is telling me to become an idol and save Saga... Wait, I'm a zombie?! Everything's gone totally crazy! What the heck is going to happen now?!" Sakura: "They really did snap out of it after yesterday's show..." Sakura: "Well, except Tae-chan." Kotaro: "Well, ladies, congratulations on waking up." Kotaro: "I said congratulations!" Kotaro: "I am the mysterious idol producer, the amazing Kotaro Tatsumi-sama!" Kotaro: "And that being the case, you are all going to become idols to save Saga! And boom. We're going to use your legendary qualities to turn Saga into the talk of the nation!" Op Narration: "Even if we're dead, we want to make our dreams come true... No, even if we're dead, we will make them come true! Is that despair? Or is it hope? We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if we don't have a pulse, we'll press on! Because that is our saga!" Saki: "So, like..." Saki: "I don't get any of this." Kotaro: "Oh, what's up, Saki?" Saki: "I died, right?" Saki: "So how come I'm not dead?" Kotaro: "What, you seriously don't know?" Kotaro: "Use your head for a second!" Saki: "Like I said, I don't know what the hell—" Kotaro: "Because you're a zombie! You're a zombie, so you're up and about, obviously! What kinda normal human has a green face?! Listen up. You all died and became zombies, and zombies have no place in our modern society! I'm offering you freaks a place to belong by turning you into idols, so your dumbasses better appreciate it! So, if you zombies are going to be idols, what are you going to need the most? Go ahead, Sakura!" Sakura: "Uh, I dunno... Oh, we'll need to not bite people?" Kotaro: "It's keeping the fact you're zombies a secret, you stupid freaking zombie!" Kotaro: "There. As you can see, the zombies were obliterated. So let's do a good job being idols, so no one finds out the truth." Kotaro: "Referring to yourselves with numbers is a part of that strategy." Ai: "I get that we're zombies now," Ai: "but I don't get why we have to be idols." Kotaro: "To save Saga!" Ai: "Revitalizing a prefecture as local idols? In Saga?" Kotaro: "What, are you scared?" Ai: "It's obviously not going to work. Looking like this and trying to save Saga..." Ai: "And I'm not even from Saga!" Kotaro: "Saga doesn't sweat the details! Even if you don't know a damn thing about it!" Ai: "Hey, I know about Saga!" Kotaro: "Why don't you tell me what you know?" Ai: "It's... in Kyushu!" Kotaro: "Oh, very impressive! That was super good, Ai-chan!" Ai: "Well, what exactly do you know about Saga, then?!" Kotaro: "I know everything! Everything there is to know." Ai: "What's Saga's population?" Kotaro: "I know that down to the tiniest decimal!" Ai: "Well, go on." Kotaro: "It's... small." Kotaro: "On the smaller side." Ai: "But specifically—" Kotaro: "Who the hell knows, stupid?!" Kotaro: "You wanna know stats, look it up on Wiki***ia! Or is that what you think?! You think I'm Wiki***ia?! Nope, nope! I'm the guy who's gonna make you into idols, Kotaro Tatsumi-san, that's me! I chose you all, and I know that you will send shockwaves through society as Saga's idols. The first step for that occurs tomorrow at Saga Castle, when you participate in the Shachi-no-mon Public Concert." Ai: "This is so clearly not going to work..." Kotaro: "That's not clear at all! You just have to pull it off, like yesterday's show." Ai: "Wait, what are you talking about?" Kotaro: "You all had the house jumping. Right, Sakura?" Sakura: "Uh, sorta... Sure." Kotaro: "Now, let's get cracking on those lessons! Good, good, good, good, okay!" Sakura: "How the heck did this happen?" Junko: "S-Stop that, please!" Sakura: "There's no way we can pull this off right away." Sakura: "She's really staring at me..." Sakura: "Oof!" Junko: "E-Excuse me... Wh-What do you want?" Sakura: "Ai-chan was an idol, wasn't she?" Sakura: "I know I've seen her somewhere before." Saki: "Hey!" Saki: "You're Sakura, right?" Sakira: "Y-Yes..." Saki: "Where you from?" Saki: "I'm asking what middle school you went to!" Sakura: "Uh... Well, I don't remember." Saki: "You screw with me and I'll kill you, got it?" Sakura: "I-It's true, I really don't remember anything from before I was a zombie!" Saki: "Man, just remember it! Make yourself remember!" Saki: "And why the hell are you taking this seriously?" Saki: "You some kinda goody two-shoes?! You want an ass-kicking?!" Sakura: "Not exactly... It's just... since we have a show to do..." Saki: "We oughta do a rally." Saki: "Good to see ya!" Saki: "This is so... Damn it! I bet my Tamagotchi is dead by now." Sakura: "That was so scary..." Sakura: "H-Huh? Ai-chan?" Ai: "A zombie dog?!" Ai: "What is with this place?" Sakura: "Ai-chan? Ai-chan, are you around?" Sakura: "Ai-chan! Oh, and Junko-chan. What are you two doing?" Ai: "Isn't it obvious? I'm leaving." Ai: "Why should I have to put up with this nonsense?" Sakura: "No, no, no you can't! It's dangerous out there!" Ai: "You mean like that video he showed us? Nothing like that's actually going to happen." Sakura: "I got shot, for real!" Junko: "That Tae girl frightens me..." Junko: "I have no idea what she's thinking, and she bites..." Sakura: "I felt the same way, but it's okay! Once you get used to it!" Sakura: "Ai-chan, wait up!" Ai: "Let go!" Sakura: "No!" Sakura: "I'm sorry, Ai-chan... but it's dangerous. Let's go back." Ai: "Give it a rest." Junko: "Where exactly are you going?" Ai: "Tokyo." Sakura: "Tokyo?! You can't, we don't have any money... And someone's gonna explode your head!" Junko: "Please don't make this worse!" Sakura: "Or maybe they'll punch it to mush!" Ai: "You can go back by yourself, okay?" Sakura: "Ai-chan, let's go back..." Ai: "Do you seriously think zombies can pull off being idols?" Ai: "Why are you agreeing to this all so easily? He's got you dancing to his tune. Are you stupid?" Sakura: "Maybe I am..." Sakura: "Maybe I haven't really thought it through... But... The other day, when we all went on stage together," Sakura: "I felt really strange... Like my heart was buzzing... I was really happy. I don't remember life before becoming a zombie, but I get the impression I've felt something like that before." Sakura: "I want to feel that way again... I want to know what it really is." Sakura: "So I want to get on stage again... That's all." B: "Yo, yo, yo, yo!" C: "Check, check, check!" Sakura: "Those guys are kinda scary..." Ai: "Rappers?" A: "Mic check, yo! Yo, check it! These chicks are out really late, maybe they're like us, cruising for a date?" B: "Yo, screw you man, you make me do the work, when you push me around, you act like a jerk!" C: "Yo, yo, yo! How about you let me hit them up then? If you end up asking, they'll wanna be "just friends."" Junko: "They're coming this way! They're coming this way! They're coming this way..." Sakura: "What do we do?! What do we do?! What do we do?!" C: "You girls wanna do some karaoke? A little song and dance? We know a place open late if you don't got plans! If you don't got money, it'll be our treat. Okay?" Cop: "You're up late boys, wanna tell me why? Or do you think I'm gonna walk on by?" Sakura: "That voice..." A: "Damn it, man. We didn't even do anything." Cop: "You wanna pick up girls, is that your game? Cuz I can throw your butts in jail, it's all the same!" Ai: "Officer! Please, help!" Sakura: "Ai-chan, don't!" Cop: "A-Again?!" Sakura: "Come on, Ai-chan!" Rappers: "Oh, no! This is bad! S-S-Save us!" Kotaro: "Good, good, very good. Good, good, very good. Good, good, very good." Kotaro: "Good— Wait, no, do it good." Kotaro: "Okay, do it good from the start this time." Kotaro: "Good, good, very good." Junko: "We were really shot at yesterday, weren't we?" Ai: "I thought I was going to die." Junko: "Well, we're dead already." Kotaro: "All right, that was good!" B: "Whoa, hold up! This is not happening!" Kotaro: "Okay, from the beginning..." Sakura: "We better be careful tomorrow..." Saki: "Hey!" Saki: "You wanna die?" Sakura: "Sorry for interrupting." Saki: "Why the hell do you listen to shades back there?" Sakura: "Y-You mean Kotaro-san?" Saki: "I'm not like you! I do what I want, and I only got respect for people with guts!" Sakura: "What is it that you want to do, Saki-chan?" Saki: "Take the whole damn country over." Sakura: "Why?" Sakura: "Saki-chan! Do you want to, just once, try and—" Saki: "Damn it, there's a reason I waited until the old fart was gone." Kotaro: "The important thing isn't technique, it's heart!" Kotaro: "Put your own heart into it, and you can color other people's hearts! That's makeup." Sakura: "I'm sorry, I didn't catch any of that." Saki: "Holy crap! This might actually work!" Lily: "Yugirin, you're so pretty!" Yugiri: "Am I, now? You're quite lovely yourself, Lily-han." Sakura: "I wonder if they're gonna be okay..." Staff: "Wait right over here." Death Dude A: "Is there seriously gonna be a death metal show in this place?" Death Dude B: "All I see are old fogeys!" Sakura: "Everyone, make sure they don't find out we're zombies!" Saki: "That'll be a piece of cake! There's no way they can tell! Super easy!" Sakura: "Saki-chan!" Saki: "And, to be honest? Right now? I am hot as hell!" Sakura: "I get it, I get it!" Staff: "Sorry about the wait." Staff: "Could the members of Green Face head to the stage." Sakura: "Uh, actually, we're Death Musume..." Kotaro: "Starting today you're Green Face!" Sakura: "Kotaro-sa—" Kotaro: "Listen up!" Kotaro: "You've gotta show these people the Green Face of your hearts!" Sakura: "I have no idea what that means!" Kotaro: "Okay, get going! Go, go, go, go!" Sakura: "Tae-chan!" Sakura: "I-It's nice to meet you! We're Green Musume! Er, Green Face, I mean!" Death Dude A: "They got some kinda environmental thing going on now?!" Death Dude B: "What happened to Death Musume? You girls don't do metal anymore?" Sakura: "B-By the way, I'm Number 1, and this girl is Number 0, and then going down the line..." Sakura: "Number 2, Number 3, Number 4..." Sakura: "Er, Number 5, and Number 6." Sakura: "Green Face is an idol group trying to revitalize Saga." Sakura: "Our singing and dancing are a little green too, but we practiced hard!" Sakura: "L-Let's do it..." Sakura: "Yeah!" Kotaro: "Music. Come on." Death Dude A: "What is this?" Sakura: "The— Tae-chan?!" Sakura: "No!" Lily: "There it goes!" Squid Guy: "Huh..." Squid Guy: "Want some?" Sakura: "Ta-da! It's a trick, a little trick! A little Handead Power!" Sakura: "Saki-chan, catch!" Saki: "Does that hurt?" Sakura: "Okay, this another trick! It's Undead Power!" Sakura: "Saki, over here!" Saki: "It's not like it's your head!" Crowd: "That's amazing, girls!" Sakura: "We seriously can't keep doing this..." Saki: "Screw you!" Sakura: "They're gonna figure it out!" Saki: "Man, your head would pop off with your helmet like this!" Sakura: "Could you try to hide the fact we're zombies?!" Sakura: "You're not even trying to hide it! What kind of idol's head comes off?! How could we possibly be human?! What kind of human can do that?! Is your brain rotting too, you stupid zombie?!" Saki: "All right, bitch, you're on! You've got some guts, and now? I'm gonna kick your ass all the way to Hoto Shrine!" Sakura: "If they find out we're zombies, we're extra dead! Are any of my words getting through your head?! If you can't take this for real, then you're the zombie whose deal will be head trauma that don't heal!" Sakura: "How many more times before you regret it?! How many cops shoot us until you finally get it?!" Saki: "You think I'm just gonna roll over for you and agree? I died riding and now you want me to be an idol zombie?! If the other choice is acting like a suck-up snot, you coulda left me in the ground, I'd rather rot!" Yugiri: "Yo!" Yugiri: "Hup, hup! Yo!" Lily: "Me, too!" Yugiri: "Hup, hup! Yo!" Yugiri: "Hup, hup! Yo!" Sakura: "I can't even remember who I was before this all went down, but on stage, I felt something click... I'm no goody-two shoes, and I'm nobody's clown. I'm just trying to do more than be a worthless brick!" Saki: "Who cares if you've got memories in your head? You won't get to see your friends, and your Tamagotchi's long dead! We're done, got it?! Nothing's gonna change about that!" Sakura: "Hell no, we're not done! We're just getting started! We've got to keep moving ahead! Or we'll just be the walking dead! Even if we have died, we only stop when we decide, so stop running, and ride again! Kick some ass, captain!" Sakura: "And that goes for the two of you standing over there! Gonna act like losers when you're the celebrity pair? You've got all the talent in the world, but the two of you girls are giving up without giving it a whirl! Quit coming up with excuses about why you can't win! If you've got even a little chance, try to do that then! Even a zombie can do it if she tries, and when you prove it, it shows dead souls can rise!" Sakura: "Yo, that goes for all you old folks, too!" Sakura: "Tell anyone who talks about golden years to go screw! Napping on the porch in the afternoon? Not you! They're worried about a low rate of birth? Show them all what silver's worth! If they wanna blame you for everything anyway, keep active and show you're here to stay! Bang!" Death Dude A: "I've... I've never seen anything like that before..." Death Dude B: "It really looked like her head came off, too." Sakura: "Their reaction..." Saki: "For real?" Sakura: "We did it again..." Saki: "Hey, Sakura!" Sakura: "Y-Yes." Sakura: "Sorry about earlier..." Saki: "You've got guts after all! Never thought you'd start rapping like that! I love it!" Sakura: "Huh...?" Saki: "Plus that egg-looking head of yours reminds me of my Tamagotchi." Sakura: "Wait, I look like an egg?!" Saki: "Idols, huh... Might be a decent way to take over, come to think of it." Sakura: "Saki-chan. Today wasn't very idol-ish, though." Staff: "Well, that was amazing. Please come again."

Kotaro: "Hey, good morning!" Kotaro: "What's all this? You're looking kinda down! Good morning!" Sakura: "Good morning..." Kotaro: "All right, girls. Looks like you're taking your lessons pretty seriously. Have you gotten used to your group's name yet? Franchoo-choo!" Sakura: "That's not it! It's Franchouchou!" Kotaro: "Flourochlorochouchou!" Sakura: "Franchou—" Kotaro: "Franchouchou! Yes, I know! Ain't it cute? Yes! Oh-so cute!" Kotaro: "Okay, Franchouchou. It was painfully clear what a bunch of brain-dead zombie idols you are with that guerrilla show last month, but you seem to have grown a bit since then." Kotaro: "This is where the real game begins. Right, Saki?" Saki: "Yeah, I guess." Kotaro: "You bet it is!" Kotaro: "What about you, Lily?" Lily: "I-I'll—" Kotaro: "Great! Now, given that, what's your next mo— Answer, Sakura!" Sakura: "I... dunno? Oh, maybe recording a CD of our song and selling it?" Kotaro: "Oh, very nice! That's a pretty good idea. Well, let's just call a recording studio and... Yeah, that's not gonna happen, dumbass! How the hell's that gonna happen?! Where's the money gonna come from?! I haven't earned a single yen on you guys and your raggedy-ass performances so far, and do you realize how much they've cost me?! Even gas for the van isn't free, y'know, you stupid zombie!" Kotaro: "That being the case, our budget has run dry." Saki: "What the hell do we do, then?!" Kotaro: "Well, when there's no money, you earn more. Duh." Sakura: "Business...?" Ai: "Are there even any businesses in Saga that would hire idols?" Kotaro: "There are, in fact! Because I am awesome! It's a big Saga pharmaceutical company, Hisanaka Pharma! If it goes well, this could end in a partnership!" Sakura: "Partnership?" Saki: "Look, I don't get it, but when is this business stuff going down?" Kotaro: "Right now." Kotaro: "The act they had booked for their company trip isn't going to make it." Ai: "Why are all your ideas last minute—" Kotaro: "Because we don't get enough chances to let any slip by! Idols have a limited shelf life nowadays." Kotaro: "And you zombies can be overworked without dying!" Kotaro: "Which means we're doing this." Kotaro: "Just do like you've practiced and show off your stuff." Kotaro: "Incidentally, the location is going to be the Ureshino Hot Springs." Junko: "Hot springs?!" Saki: "Hey, sounds good! We've just been washing off in the yard, after all." Yugiri: "This could be a chance to wash off some of the decay from Franchouchou." Kotaro: "And they're being nice enough to put us up overnight." Sakura: "We're staying the night?" Saki: "Sounds like we can let it all hang out!" Kotaro: "Except none of you are going into the hot springs!" Kotaro: "Because you can't walk around outside of your room without your makeup! Yeah, sucks to be you! If you think you've got enough time to splish splash in a hot spring, then use that time for practice!" Sakura: "Excuse me..." Kotaro: "What's up?" Sakura: "What does this pharmaceutical company sell, anyway?" Kotaro: "This is it." Sakura: "Saganship Z?" Intro: "Even if we're dead, we want to make our dreams come true... No, even if we're dead, we will make them come true! Is that despair? Or is it hope? We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if we don't have a pulse, we'll press on! Because that is our saga!" Kotaro: "You're in room 606. You're on at 18:00." Sakura: "Understood!" Kotaro: "You better be practicing while I'm sightseeing, since I went to the trouble of setting up a room to rehearse in." Sakura: "Right! Wait... Kotaro-san, what did you say you would be doing?" Kotaro: "Sightseeing." Kotaro: "Gonna see me them sights!" Saki: "Well, what're we gonna do?" Sakura: "What do you mean?" Saki: "You're not seriously gonna go straight to practice, right?" Sakura: "But we need to rehearse!" Saki: "Yeah, later! Why does only shades there get to goof off? That's what I'm getting at!" Sakura: "We can't!" Saki: "You wanna die?" Saki: "We've been cooped up practicing non-stop! And now we're here in Ureshino!" Lily: "I wanna go for a walk, too!" Saki: "See, shrimpy gets it!" Lily: "I am not shrimpy! My name is Lily!" Yugirin: "A little bit couldn't hurt. I'd like to get a look at what a modern town is like." Lily: "We've got our makeup on, and we'll all be together. And we'll be extra careful so no one finds out we're zombies!" Saki: "Won't we, shrimpy?" Lily: "My name is Lily." Sakura: "I guess if everyone agrees..." Saki: "Ai, Junko, you two cool with that?" Junko: "I don't know if it's a good idea, but..." Sakura: "Junko-chan, Junko-chan! This fish sculpture is supposed to help with skin and health! It says to spread water on it!" Junko: "Let's do it." Saki: "Damn, they're getting into it..." Kotaro: "It's a real honor to hear from Hisanaka Pharmaceuticals." Pr: "The people from the inn actually told us about you." Kotaro: "I'm glad I was able to get a chance to meet you thanks to my regular interactions with different lodgings and the chamber of commerce." Pr: "Is running an idol group out of Saga a lot of trouble nowadays?" Kotaro: "Well, I'd say there are times it feels like we're fighting the current of history. But I like to think that if we're able to make our mark at all, we'll leave a larger impact for it." Pr: "You might be right." Kotaro: "And through that, we'll revitalize Saga. That's what's at the core of Franchouchou's operations." Pr: "Revitalize Saga...?" Kotaro: "Yes. That's why, even though we're in different fields, your company being one of the biggest in Saga means we look up to you." Pr: "Well, we're actually trying to widen our potential customer base to appeal more to younger people." Kotaro: "In that case, we'd love to help! If we were to become partners, I'm sure we could meet your expectations." Pr: "I'm looking forward to tonight's performance." Kotaro: "That's good to hear. I'm sure they're all practicing their hearts out as we speak..." Kotaro: "Their... hearts... out..." Pr: "Is something wrong?" Junko: "I've never used a foot bath before. It feels lovely." Yugiri: "Downright heavenly." Sakura: "Feels kinda funny doing this." Lily: "What do you mean?" Sakura: "If we had never come back as zombies, we never would've met like this. We're all from different times." Saki: "Sure as hell don't feel dead, though. Kinda cool." Lily: "I bet even if I had been in the same time, I'd never have gone near anyone like Saki-chan!" Saki: "Stuff it!" Yugiri: "I honestly feel like I'm a child again." Sakura: "I guess so! The whole world must seem different." Ai: "How exactly did we become zombies, though? I thought bodies were cremated in Japan." Junko: "And just who exactly is Tatsumi-san?" Sakura: "Why's everybody looking at me?!" Ai: "Because you were awake first, remember?" Sakura: "Yeah, but I have no idea!" Saki: "Look, don't sweat the small stuff." Ai: "And I doubt he'd ever give us a straight answer..." Saki: "The only thing we can say for sure is that right now we're using this foot bath, together." Saki: "See, aren't you glad we came?" Sakura: "Yeah! But we have to practice—" Saki: "I know!" Saki: "Hey, Ai-chan..." Saki: "Do you think we can make it as proper idols?" Ai: "What do you think being a proper idol means, Sakura?" Sakura: "Well... singing and dancing... And making people happy. Making them excited." Ai: "Well, in that case, we need to practice and learn a lot more." Sakura: "Do you think we can if we practice a whole bunch more?" Sakura: "I... I'm going to do everything I can." Sakura: "I meant what I said after the guerrilla show!" Saki: "And if I'm in, I'm all the way in." Yugiri: "I decided a very long time ago to dedicate myself to entertaining others." Lily: "I know how hard showbiz can be!" Junko: "I..." Junko: "I worked by myself when I was active. To be honest, there are times when I'm not sure about being part of a group. But... if the rest of you are serious about trying this, then I need to do my best as well, don't I?" Sakura: "Junko-chan!" Ai: "But I'm out the second I think this isn't happening, okay?" Sakura: "I'll make sure you don't ever think that!" Saki: "Hell yeah! Let's give them something to talk about at today's show!" Lily: "Like, how though? What do you mean?" Saki: "I dunno." Yugiri: "What can we do to please our guests tonight...?" Sakura: "Yugiri-san! Phrasing!" Junko: "M-Maybe we should know more about their product first?" Sakura: "Oh, right! We've never used Saganship Z before." Saki: "All right, let's head back and try it out!" Sakura: "Yeah!" Saki: "Slapping these things on is supposed to fix stiff shoulders and back pain?" Junko: "That's the idea." Saki: "For real?! That's awesome!" Sakura: "There's a warning about putting them on other people. Says it counts as practicing medicine." Saki: "Who gives a crap? We're zombies, not people." Sakura: "I'm... not sure that's... Hey—" Sakura: "Wow! All my muscle fatigue is gone!" Saki: "It's because you're a zombie! You must absorb stuff faster!" Lily: "Look, look! I can move a whole bunch and it won't come off!" Saki: "Give it a try, Ai." Ai: "I'm fine. It's not like I feel tire—" Sakura: "Can we use this in the performance somehow? Maybe putting them on and then dancing really energetically?" Sakura: "Everyone, I know you all work really hard at your jobs! I hope we can help you all recover a little bit tonight! Please have a relaxing night with Saganship Z and our singing!" Sakura: "I'm Number 1! This is Number 2, Number 3, Number 4, Number 5, Number 6, and Number 0! We're Franchouchou! And we're glad to be here!" Kotaro: "Songs for the soul. Saganship Z for the body." Kotaro: "Now that's relaxation." Sakura: "I'm so glad they liked it." Saki: "Hold up, Sakura. Don't take your makeup off yet." Sakura: "Saki-chan?" Saki: "I can't stand it anymore! Let's hit that hot springs!" Saki: "It'd be crazy to come all this way and not, y'know?" Sakura: "But if our makeup comes off, we won't be able to make it back..." Saki: "Nobody's gonna be out this late. Y'know?" Sakura: "Kotaro-san's gonna get mad." Saki: "Listen to me, Sakura." Saki: "As long as nobody finds out, we're safe!" Sakura: "And if anyone does, we're out!" Saki: "Which is why it won't happen!" Sakura: "I dunno where all your confidence comes from..." Saki: "It's because I've gotten into and out of more trouble than you, girl." Sakura: "But what about the others? They'll all want to go in, too." Saki: "We've gotta make the hard decision here. Less people, less suspicious!" Sakura: "Saki-chan, you're just trying to..." Sakura: "Junko-chan? What's up?" Junko: "I was going to take off my makeup after you, Minamoto-san. And then..." Sakura: "Oh, we're not going! It's too risky." Junko: "I..." Junko: "I'd like to go in the hot spring, too." Saki: "There you go." Saki: "It's settled." Saki: "The water here is supposed to be great for your skin!" Saki: "Gonna make it nice and shiny! Maybe it'll turn that egghead of yours shiny and soft-boiled!" Saki: "Come on, move it! We gotta get in and out, quick!" Sakura: "I feel revived..." Junko: "It really does feel that way. Even though we are zombies." Sakura: "My skin's already looking smoother!" Saki: "It's because we're zombies! We must soak it up faster since we're zombies!" Sakura: "Amazing!" Saki: "See what I told you? Your egghead's all shiny now." Saki: "Actually, it kinda looks like a century egg now." Junko: "Something just touched me!" Saki: "All right, who's the asshole with the guts to touch one of our girls?" Saki: "Looks like some kinda sheet." Saki: "It's Saganship Z. Man, talk about absorbent." Sakura: "Junko-chan, did you forget to take the one on your back off?" Junko: "I forgot! I'm sorry." Saki: "But, y'know... today went pretty good, right?" Sakura: "I think so, too!" Sakura: "But..." Junko: "Well, the audience was happy, and that's a good thing." Junko: "But our performance still needs a lot of work." Junko: "Let's work hard. So next time, we can reach them with just our singing and dancing." Sakura: "Yeah!" Saki: "Feels like we've gone from being Marutchi to Tamatchi!" Sakura: "That's the lady from Hisanaka Pharmaceuticals... What now?! What do we do?!" Saki: "Go underwater! We're zombies, so we can probably make it without breathing!" Pr: "Who's there?" Saki{Garbled}: "Sakura!" Ai: "What was that?" Pr: "H-Help me!" Yugiri: "Is something the matter?" Sakura: "Huh? What... What's going on?" Saki: "Explanations later! Room now!" Saki: "Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!" Kotaro: "Thank you so much for this opportunity. And, if you decide it's a good idea, I look forward to hearing from you about the partnership." Staff: "Oh... I'm sorry. She seems to have had quite a scare." Staff: "The shock's made her forget everything that happened yesterday." Kotaro: "Sorry?" Kotaro: "Next time, I'm shaving your heads." Lily: "That's when we went to the hot springs! They wrote about us, huh?" Saki: "Who the hell published that?! Let's find them and lean on them, hard!" Sakura: "I'm sorry..." Sakura: "Next time I'll be more careful." Yugiri: "Come, now. We all used the foot bath together." Yugiri: "I've never shared a moment like that with a group before." Yugiri: "It was a good bit of fun." Lily: "Yeah! And I think the better we get along, the better our performances will be!" Sakura: "Yugiri-san... Lily-chan..." Yugiri: "And it's not like we have to worry about getting tired." Saki: "Sis is right! We'll make up for this next time." Sakura: "Yeah!" Saki: "Hell yeah! Let's bust our asses and earn us a budget!" Everybody: "Yeah!" Ai: "You know the money's just a means to an end, right?"

Sakura: "Last time on Zombie Land Saga! We ran out of budget even though we've barely done anything yet, so we took our first offer for a paid job! It was at a hot springs, of all places! We got to relax and take in the sights. It was kinda fun! The show went great, and we were so excited we couldn't control our girlish whimsy and dove into the springs after being told not to! Then we ran through the inn with our zombieness exposed, which ended with our chance for a partnership going up in smoke! Sakura really goofed this time! Sowwy evewybody!" Kotaro: "All right, play ball! We've got the championship game to determine the ultimate idol high school today! After an interesting game, we're in the ninth inning with three runs apiece! Will Franchouchou High School be able to hold it together through this inning? Pitching is their ace, Saki Nikaido!" Kotaro: "This is the first pitch. There it goes! Blammo! And that's a home ruuuu—" Kotaro: "Owie..." Saki: "That hurt, prick! I'm gonna kill you!" Sakura: "Uh, what exactly are you doing?" Kotaro: "I'm picking up some dirt off the field! Competitive fields are cruel, y'know! The second you let your guard down, it can all fall apart!" Sakura: "O-Okay." Kotaro: "I'm trying to say that if you get lazy, you're gonna be in for-real trouble, you dim-witted zombies! You haven't forgotten that little "hey, we're zombies" mess at the resort, have you?" Sakura: "No." Kotaro: "You wanna get talked about, make sure it's because you're idols! We haven't gotten any further operating budget thanks to you!" Ai: "I'm pretty sure that's your fault." Kotaro: "Well, I happen to have arranged a gig that even you slobs will be able to hit a grand-slam home run with!" Kotaro: "Starting today, we're gonna try to raise our profile! And the first step is having you appear in a commercial for a certain mega-famous business!" Sakura: "We're getting offers for commercials?" Kotaro: "I know, right?" Kotaro: "You guys are gonna be so shocked your hearts might start beating! Listen up... The mega-famous business that's hired you for this commercial... is the famous Drive-In Tori!" Intro: "Even if we're dead, we want to make our dreams come true... No, even if we're dead, we will make them come true! Is that despair? Or is it hope? We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if we don't have a pulse, we'll press on! Because that is our saga!" Cm: "Yakitori number one, chicken and rice number two, salad's number three for nutrition! Service with a smile, come on and get your fill!" Saki: "Holy crap... It's really Drive Tori..." Sakura: "Say what?" Cm: "Fresh, tasty, and fun! Bring all your friends! We're here for you every day..." Saki: "Are you stupid?! It's Drive Tori! I will kill you! Sorry! I've never heard of them!" Cm: "at Drive-In Tori!" Lily: "I've heard of them but never been." Saki: "Unbelievable... All of you fail at Saga!" Sakura: "Is it that famous?" Kotaro: "You'll all learn how amazing Drive Tori is in time." Saki: "When?! When's the job?!" Kotaro: "Right now!" Sakura: "Kinda... has that local business feel, huh?" Junko: "Mega-famous business..." Saki: "The homey feel! It's still the same! Back when I spent every day and night tearing up the roads," Saki: "we'd always hit this place after raising some hell." Saki: "I remember I always got the number one meal with the gang. With a side of lettuce." Sakura: "You really were a wild girl, huh, Saki-chan?" Lily: "That bird's not very cute." Saki: "Damn it, shrimpy! Don't you dare insult Drive Tori's immortal Cocco-san!" Sakura: "Cocco-san?" Kotaro: "What the fudge are you girls doing?! Move it already!" Owner: "This is the president of Drive-In Tori." Prez: "Hello. It's nice to meet you all." : "Good after—" Lily: "Loud." Prez: "I appreciate you all coming out. I'm looking forward to seeing you all advertise our restaurant. Why don't we start by heading inside so you can try some of our signature grilled chicken?" : "Thank y—" Saki: "Sir, yes, sir!" Prez: "Most people think of beef when it comes to yakiniku-style grilling, but in Saga, it's all about chicken." Saki: "Sakura! Try some of that sauce, and the garlic pepper!" Sakura: "Okay." Saki: "All right, this one's looking pretty good." Lily: "Hey, I was cooking that one!" Ai: "Why don't you get that one, Lily? It's already well done." Yugiri: "What are you looking at there, Junko-han?" Junko: "The honey and black vinegar Calpis sounds good..." President: "And that sums up the seven principals of Drive-In Tori." Kotaro: "Oh, I see— Would it kill you all to listen?!" Prez: "No, it's okay. It's great to see that they're enjoying the food." Sakura: "The food really is amazing!" Prez: "I'm glad to hear that. All our chicken is fresh—" Lily: "Aw, Tae-chan's eating raw chicken!" Prez: "Uh, it's not that fresh..." Kotaro: "Now, then..." Kotaro: "Shall we discuss the details of the shoot?" Prez: "Sure." Saki: "Freaking sweet!" Junko: "The first outfit we wear other than T-shirts... and it's this." Ai: "Well, it's all so we can get some real outfits someday." Sakura: "That looks great on you, Junko-chan!" Junko: "It does?" Lily: "You're so cute, Yugirin!" Yugiri: "I wouldn't have minded an outfit like this in my old line of work." Ad: "All right, is everybody ready to get started?! First up, I wanna introduce the girls from Franchouchou who are gonna be in the commercial today! Give them a hand!" Ad: "Next up is Cocco-kun-san! Let's hear it for them!" Saki: "They've really got a hell of an aura!" Sakura: "Saki-chan..." Lily: "Yeah, that's not cute." Sakura: "S-Sorry about that." Sakura: "Tae-chan! That's not a real chicken! I'm not supposed to say this too loud, but there's someone inside!" Ad: "All right, if everybody's ready, we can get started! Yeah!" : "Thanks for having us!" Saki: "We're gonna give this our all!" Director: "All right, let's do a test run... And action!" : "Yakitori number one, chicken and rice number two, salad's number three for nutrition! Service with a smile, come on and get your fill!" Director: "And cut!" Ad: "Cut!" Director: "I could hear something weird in there." Sakura: "S-Sorry about that." Saki: "Tae, you gotta sing!" Sakura: "It's not gonna work, Saki-chan! Tae-chan can't really do audio. Wh-What do we do?" Ad: "You girls ready?!" Sakura: "Uh, well..." Ad: "Just try to avoid all that "urgh argh" stuff this time, thanks! Rolling!" Sakura: "For real?!" Ad: "Go ahead, director!" Sakura: "O-Okay, Tae-chan, just join us for the cock-a-doodle-doo part at the end!" Director: "All right, rolling..." Ad: "This one's for real!" Director: "And... action!" Ad: "Cut!" Sakura: "I'm so sorry!" : "Yakitori number one, chicken and rice number two, salad's number three for nutrition! Service with a smile, come on and get your fill! Yeah! Fresh, tasty, and fun! Bring all your friends! We're here for you every day..." : "at Drive-In Tori!" Director: "And cut!" Ad: "Yeah!" Director: "That was good." Ad: "All right, we're gonna run a check on that take!" Sakura: "The idea you had about changing the harmony did the trick." Director: "Okay." Ad: "Okay, that last take was good!" Junko: "That's good to hear." Kotaro: "Was it really?" Kotaro: "Can you say you've really done the job?" Sakura: "Uh..." Kotaro: "What are you all? What are you standing here as, right now?" Ai: "Uh, idol—" Kotaro: "Freaking chickens!" Kotaro: "You're chickens right now! Am I wrong, Junko?!" Junko: "No!" Kotaro: "Then you need to chicken it up! I'm not seeing any chicken authenticity! The intensity of a chicken as it's being cooked on a mesh grill! The crow of its soul!" Saki: "Shades might be right." Saki: "We..." Saki: "We haven't become real chickens!" Director: "Uh, no, that last take was—" Kotaro: "These girls can do it if you give them a chance, director! Please, let them try again!" Saki: "Look at that!" Saki: "You guys aren't gonna let Cocco-san show us up, right?! If we're idols who wanna take over the country, we need to be ready to gobble up the star on their own show!" Sakura: "Tae-chan?!" Director: "Hey! Somebody stop her!" Ad: "Y-Yessir!" Kotaro: "Wait!" Kotaro: "Get that camera rolling!" Kotaro: "This is reality!" Kotaro: "This is the story we've all been yearning for!" Sakura: "Tae-chan, she didn't mean it literally!" Kotaro: "Director!" Director: "Action!" Prez: "I have to say, you all did an excellent job as chickens. This is our restaurant's way of saying thanks." Sakura: "D-Do you think it's some chicken?" Prez: "T-shirts." Junko: "More T-shirts..." Prez: "I have to say, I'm looking forward to the final product." Cm: "Yakitori number one, chicken and rice number two, salad's number three for nutrition! Service with a smile, come on and get your fill!" Inbashi: "Huh, they got a new commercial." Inbashi: "What's with these girls? Must be hard trying to be idols in Saga of all places." Okoba: "Have I seen her before...?" Kotaro: "Now that was some nice bird-ing! All of you, seriously... nice bird!" Kotaro: "Merci!" Kotaro: "Bonjour, Saga jeune." Kotaro: "Saga jeune..." Ai: "Yeah, yeah, I'm a Saga jeune now, I guess." Kotaro: "How are you in any way a Saga jeune?!" Ai: "What is your problem?!" Kotaro: "Dirt..." Kotaro: "Listen up! None of you are even close to cutting it as Saga jeunes yet! Like a bunch of hick zombies using your sleeves to wipe your snot! However! I've found a way for even you to become Saga jeunes who can compete with even Parisian jeunes! You're gonna participate in the Gatalympics!" Saki: "Holy crap..." Saki: "The Gatalympics..." Sakura: "More tears?!" Lily: "You know that anybody can participate, right?" Ai: "And what even is it?" Saki: "Unbelievable... You all fail at Sa—" Junko: "It's not very glamorous... or even colorful, is it?" Lily: "I don't wanna!" Kotaro: "Shut it!" Lily: "What is that garbage-like T-shirt supposed to be?" Kotaro: "You are all going to be entering the Gatalympics wearing these shirts." Saki: "When?! When are we doing this?!" Kotaro: "Right now!" Junko: "It reminds me of the swimsuit-only athletic competitions they used to have." Ai: "You were actually in those?" Junko: "I-I made sure not to pop out, though!" Lily: "I seriously hate this." Yugiri: "It's for the sake of advertising. You'll have to bear it." Sakura: "No! Tae-chan, quit squirming!" Mc: "The deadline for entries is nearly here. Anyone wanting to participate should head to..." Sakura: "It's already starting! Extra T-shirt, extra T-shirt..." Sakura: "Oh, I know!" Sakura: "We can't have you ripping another one, so let's put an extra layer on." Inubashi: "Huh, aren't those the girls from that commercial?" Inubashi: "One of them catch your eye, Ookoba-san?" Ookoba: "Idiot." Ookoba: "I could swear I've seen her somewhere before..." Host: "And here we have the headline event of the Gatalympics, Mud Biking! Competitors ride down a narrow path on a bicycle!" Mc: "Okay!" Mc: "First, we have a member of the Saga PD here to demonstrate! Care to comment?" Cop: "Well, y'know, today... The, uh, every day... peace..." Mc: "All right, let's get this started!" Mc: "On your marks! Get set..." Mc: "And that's about how it works! Good luck, everyone!" Sakura: "Good luck, Saki-chan!" Saki: "Leave it to me! Nobody can beat me on two wheels!" Mc: "Let's get the first race started." Saki: "Prepare to eat my dust." Mc: "On your marks!" Mc: "Get set..." Mc: "Let's move on to the second race!" Mc: "On your marks! Get set..." Sakura: "You can't even tell what's on the shirts now." Ai: "To be honest, I saw this coming." Sakura: "Well, now people can see what they say!" Kids: "Over here!" Sakura: "What do we do?! What do we do?!" Yugiri: "Kind of heartbreaking, isn't it?" Mc: "What's our next contestant's name?" Kotaro: "Uh... Kotaro Tatsumi." Sakura: "Kotaro-san?!" Ai: "Why isn't he wearing one of the shirts?!" Mc: "Can we hear your thoughts going into the race?" Sakura: "This is good! He can talk about the group!" Kotaro: "Uh... I'm gonna do my best." Mc: "Anything else?" Kotaro: "Uh, nope." Saki: "What the hell?!" Saki: "His ass is gonna end up covered in mud! Let's all laugh at him!" Mc: "On your marks! Get set..." Host: "The next competition we have for you today is the Mud Tarzan Swing!" Mc: "Okay, take it away!" Cop: "Here I go! Check this out, Ariake Sea! Whoa!" Host: "And there you have it. Scores are based on distance along with showmanship." Junko: "They're not going to be able to see the T-shirts anyway." Sakura: "True enough..." Yugiri: "If we can make it over there, we might be able to manage something." Ai: "That might actually be the best way of reaching the crowd." Saki: "Sounds good! Let's aim for the top!" Sakura: "It's the only choice we have!" Mc: "Next contestant, come on down!" Sakura: "I get the feeling Ai-chan can pull this off..." Host: "That's a distance of 5 meters and 20 centimeters!" Host: "Doesn't amount to much!" Ai: "Say something!" Junko: "This is higher up than I thought..." Saki: "Hell yeah! Right to the top!" Saki: "The distance is... three meters." Lily: "You're supposed to jump forward." Saki: "Get 'em, Big Sis Yugiri!" Yugiri: "Right!" Host: "Those points are purely for artistic value, with a distance of zero meters!" Lily: "Here I go! Magical Shooting Star!" Host: "Now that's some real distance!" Host: "She's currently in fourth place! Not quite enough to reach the podium!" Sakura: "If I believe... then I can fly. I have to... have to win this!" Saki: "Fly, Sakura!" Host: "A total belly-flop!" Lily: "That looked painful. And a score... of 1! The lowest score in today's games!" Saki: "Yeah, that's not impressing anybody." Host: "Huh? We've got someone with a unique style on the stand now." Sakura: "Tae-chan?!" Saki: "Hey, hey, hey!" Host: "Well that's... What the? It's hard to tell because of the sun... What just happened?" Ai: "This is bad!" Saki: "Hide the fact she's a zombie!" Host: "Whoa, now! Her teammates have all jumped into the mud after her! What a wonderful display of teamwork!" Mc: "And so we're here to interview the winner!" Mc: "Let's get a word from her right away. How do you feel right now?" Saki: "So much for advertising." Sakura: "Yeah..." Mc: "I wonder if she got too much mud in her mouth to be able to speak? In any case, that was an amazing jump! Congratulations!" Ai: "Well, what's done is done." Sakura: "Wait, Tae-chan has two shirts on!" Saki: "For real?!" Sakura: "Tae-chan! Tear your shirt!" Mc: "Congratulations!" Song: "Drive-In Tori!" Kotaro: "Nice bird." Inubashi: "They're quite a cute bunch." Ookoba: "That's it. I remember now." Inubashi: "Remember what?" Ookoba: "I should look into this..." Ai: "This is Ai. Whether it's hocking chickens or playing in mud, we need to do whatever it takes to raise our profile."

Sakura: "Previously on Zombie Land Saga... After messing up our first paid job, we were lucky enough to get another big chance! We appeared in a commercial for Drive-In Tori to earn some funds and some notoriety, and worked our tail feathers off to become chickens! And then, in pursuit of more fame, we participated in the Gatalympics, and worked hard to memorize exactly what mud tastes like! I bet chicken and mud are total must-haves for being an idol! People are bound to have heard of Franchouchou now! Wait, hold on... is this seriously good enough? It is, right? We're gonna be fine, right?!" Inubashi: "Damn it, this is getting really annoying... I can't believe none of them are on social media." Inu: "There's nothing here except their idol activities." Okoba: "I kind of like it. Feels like they're not letting the times dictate their style." Inubashi: "Come on, Okoba-san, you're the one who wanted to look into them. It's been a month and a half and we haven't been able to dig up anything!" Inubashi: "Damn it... Who the hell are these girls?" : "" Ai: "Stop!" Ai: "We're still going a little too slow at this part." Junko: "I'm sorry..." Ai: "It's okay. I'll just match up with you." Kotaro: "The new song has a duet with Ai and Junko as the highlight." Kotaro: "You two are out in front this time." Junko: "I feel bad." Junko: "Considering I'm supposed to be the lead vocals..." Ai: "Well, the tempo's faster than usual. We'll just have to work on making sure we're perfect for the most crucial parts. I'm going to review the overall flow of the performance, so the rest of you can take a break." Sakura: "Oh... It happened again." Intro: "Even if we're dead, we want to make our dreams come true... No, even if we're dead, we will make them come true! Is that despair? Or is it hope? We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if we don't have a pulse, we'll press on! Because that is our saga!" Kotaro: "Hey..." Kotaro: "We're out of shampoo." Yugiri: "What's this box, then?" Lily: "It's called a computer. We're gonna look up what kinda idols are big right now." Yugiri: "They come up with the wildest things..." Ai: "Hey! You're gonna break it!" Yugiri: "Oh, terribly sorry." Sakura: "I hope Kotaro-san doesn't catch us..." Ai: "It's okay. We should have about twenty minutes." Sakura: "Really? This is my third time doing this, after all." Lily: "Hey, do you think we've got a homepage?" Ai: "We do, and I am never looking at it again." Lily: "Aw, why not?" Ai: "Because it's so lame you'll want to die. Even if we're zombies already." Kotaro: "Hey..." Ai: "Anyway, after looking around a bit, I'm surprised by how different things are from when I was alive. There are a bunch of groups that were really popular, and seemed like they would last, that are all broken up..." Junko: "Idols as a concept go through their booms and busts, after all." Sakura: "Wait... does that mean that right now..." Ai: "Even if that's the case, we still have to try our best." Ai: "Right?" Sakura: "Y-You're right." Ai: "I guess we can check out idol events in Saga." Junko: "This is so convenient..." Sakura: "There're so many!" Ai: "Let's start by looking into anything that seems interesting." Saki: "What's "Saga Rock"?! Sounds cool!" Sakura: "Do you like rock, Saki-chan?" Saki: "Hell yeah! Everyone knows how Mentai Rock is a big deal in Kyushu!" Sakura: "What's that?" Saki: "You wanna die?" Sakura: "You're really aggressive..." Ai: "The Saga Rock Festival is the largest outdoor rock event in Kyushu." Saki: "Seriously?! We gotta get in on that!" Ai: "Well, there's no problem with getting onto a bigger stage, but..." Sakura: "It must be amazing to be on stage with so many people in the audience." Lily: "I'm totally used to it thanks to press presentations!" Sakura: "Let's do a good job! I bet if we practice a lot, we'll all make it up there some day!" Junko: "It's not that easy." Junko: "Performing a concert at a venue of this size requires a comparable amount of work." Sakura: "Y-Yeah." Junko: "It's better to take one diligent step at a time instead of fixating on big dreams." Sakura: "Sorry..." Ai: "I get what you mean, but our time frame is much shorter what others had." Ai: "The main thing is to find a way to get your name out there... in front of audiences in the tens of thousands a year after our debut." Junko: "Only a year?! And you were able to impress an audience that big?" Ai: "If you're trying to be perfect from the get-go, you won't be able to manage anything. If anything, a lot of fans like seeing groups improve over time, and contribute to that growth." Junko: "That's..." Ai: "Of course, that doesn't mean we don't try our hardest every time." Sakura: "Oh, that's the group you were in, right, Ai-chan?" Lily: "Let me see!" Sakura: "This one! Iron Frill! They're going to be at Saga Rock!" Saki: "Your old crew is pretty badass!" Kotaro: "Ah, my fair ladies... of Franchouchou... Oh, good morning! You are before... the idol magistra—" Saki: "Enough already! Get on with it!" Kotaro: "Okay then, today I have some great news for you all." Kotaro: "It turns out that Franchouchou..." Kotaro: "has fans! The Drive-In Tori commercial and Gatalympics footage have been uploaded online, and there's just a little bit of chat about you all!" Sakura: "There is?" Saki: "I told you! I told you guys Drive Tori was freaking awesome!" Ai: "Well, good or bad, at least we've got some attention now. What're you talking about? This is all because you're gems that sparkle with polish. Very nicely done... Drive-In Tori! Like that?" Sakura: "Oh, that's not the right pose." Sakura: "It's like this. Tori!" Kotaro: "Oh, I get it." Kotaro: "Tori!" Sakura: "No, like, Tori!" Kotaro: "Oh, okay! Tori!" Sakura: "No, see, I just showed you..." Kotaro: "It doesn't freaking matter! Why exactly do I have to master your dance?! Don't look down your pointy nose at me just because you've got a little buzz, you Pinocchio-ass zombie! Sit your pointy nose down! That being the case, I want you all to start interacting with your fans as soon as possible." Saki: "Right away again, huh?" Kotaro: "I announced it on the homepage already!" Junko: "Uh, when you say interacting..." Kotaro: "Gotta start with photo ops, I figure." Junko: "Minamoto-san, what exactly does he mean?" Skaura: "Well, there are probably gonna be people with instant cameras, not digital." Junko: "Digital...?" Sakura: "How do I describe it... They let you look at the pictures right away." Junko: "Oh, like Polaroids?" Junko: "So we're going to be taking glamour shots with Polaroids..." Sakura: "It's not exactly that formal..." Ai: "That's basically it, though." Sakura: "It is?!" Ai: "Usually there's a mini concert and merchandise sales first." Sakura: "Merchandise..." Sakura: "It'd be nice if we sold a bunch of T-shirts, but..." Lily: "You okay, Yugirin? Are you following all this?" Yugiri: "Well, getting confused by what's going on won't help things, so I've decided to just accept things as they come." Kotaro: "I've got an even bigger project in the works!" Kotaro: "So you all better make this photo op a good one!" Saki: "Well, we're Franchouchou! Thanks for coming!" Sakura: "People really showed up! We've got fans now!" Saki: "W-Well, y'know, today is a photo op session with Franchouchou, and it's crazy to think you all came to see us... So, like..." Saki: "Thanks!" Audience: "That was great!" Audience: "Cocco-kun!" Saki: "It's Cocco-san, damn it!" Crowd: "She's the real deal!" Crowd: "From the commercial!" Kotaro: "We're now going to be selling these original Franchouchou T-shirts and towels. Anyone who purchases either will then be eligible for the photo session!" Sakura: "When did he have those towels made?" Ai: "And what is with this design?" Kotaro: "We'll then move on to the actual photo session!" Signs: "First will be the pair of Number 0 and Number 1, and then Numbers 2 and 3." Junko: "What... is this?" Ai: "You take pictures with people who line up for you." Saki: "Hey there." Ai: "Thank you." Lily: "You ready?!" Kotaro: "Here we go, okay!" Ai: "What... was that?" Kotaro: "Next is going to be the trio of Number 4, Number 5, and Number 6!" Crowd: "Number 4, it's your turn!" Junko: "I can't..." Junko: "I can't do this..." Sakura: "Junko-chan?" Ai: "What are you saying? Come on." Junko: "No!" Ai: "You've got the most people in your line! Don't you see that?" Junko: "Being an idol is about dazzling people from up on a stage! How is this anything like that?!" Inbubashi: "What?" Kotaro: "What the hell was that?! I am so disappointed in you all! Y'know how disappointed I am? If I had to give a metaphor, it's like... Y'know!" Kotaro: "You dumbasses!" Kotaro: "Ugh!" Ai: "You understood what you did, right, Junko? Running out on a job doesn't just affect you." Junko: "That's part of the job?" Ai: "A big part of it." Junko: "But it was so brazen. I don't want to do it." Ai: "Listen. We need people to learn who we are, and then feel like we're within reach." Junko: "That's the thing! And when you bragged about being so successful after only one year, do people really think they can just placate the fans instead of paying their dues?" Ai: "When did I ever say that? Are you trying to start something?" Saki: "Leave it at that." Sakura: "Ai-chan, Junko-chan..." Junko: "I'm just saying we need to think about what our relationship with our fans is." Ai: "You're the one who doesn't seem to understand what that relationship is." Sakura: "What do we do?! What do we do?!" Junko: "We might both talk about "being supported by fans," Mizuno-san, but I think we mean something totally different!" Junko: "An idol shouldn't be dependent on the good will of fans!" Ai: "That sort of above-it-all pride is too old-fashioned!" Junko: "You're not exactly current yourself, you know!" Lily: "Please stop!" Ai: "If we're going to be serious about being idols," Ai: "then thinking like that is going to be a problem." Saki: "Don't you think that's going overboard?" Saki: "Hey! Ai!" Saki: "Damn it..." Ai: "I am not going to be history yet." Saki: "You two oughta just bury the hatchet and get over this. Let's just say both sides were wrong." Lily: "I think so, too." Ai: "I don't see how any of what I said was wrong." Yugiri: "There are plenty of fights that start because both sides have a good point." Ai: "I thought you were all serious about becoming idols." Lily: "It's because we are that we want you two to get along!" Ai: "You can't get by as idols just by playing friends all the time! You were in show business, too. Don't you realize that?!" Saki: "Get out of shrimpy's face!" Saki: "Damn it, get back here!" Yugiri: "I wouldn't worry. Things will settle down soon enough. Won't they, Leader?" Saki: "Damn it, what a pain in the ass!" Guy: "Hey, come on!" Girl: "Don't be silly. I don't have a swimsuit." Sakura: "Leave it to me!" Junko: "Minamoto-san?" Sakura: "You're from a generation earlier than me, huh?" Junko: "I'd say maybe two. I should really be an old lady by now." Sakura: "I was just thinking about how I never really asked about what kind of idol you were." Junko: "In my time, there was no personal interaction with fans." Junko: "Maybe meet and greets at the most, but... Whether it was the stage and the seats, or on the tube and in front of the tea table, there was a clear boundary." Sakura: "Wait, the tea table and the tube? What tube?" Junko: "It's an idol's job to give people dreams. I can't imagine giving the fans a chance to see any imperfections." Junko: "At least, that's how it was for the idols I knew... And much like how I once looked up to them, I wanted to be someone that others could look up to... That was my motivation for working so hard, day after day." Junko: "I was finally starting to feel like I had accomplished that myself. I imagined a future where I would continue to do so." Junko: "Then, when we were headed to Saga for my first tour in Kyushu..." Junko: "And that was that." Sakura: "Junko-chan..." Junko: "Not just anyone can be an idol. Much less a zombie..." Junko: "And if my approach is in the way..." Junko: "Minamoto-san..." Junko: "I don't think I can stay in Franchouchou." Saki: "Ai!" Saki: "Ai? Ai! What's up?! Hey!" Saki: "Well, this is messed up..." Saki: "You've got a hell of a look on your face. I guess I do, too, though." Saki: "If I'm being real, I don't get any of this idol or fan stuff, y'know? But when you do anything, it's all about guts. And then comes your crew. That's all you've really got..." Saki: "Kinda surprised. You being scared of lightning..." Ai: "It's how I died." Saki: "Holy crap, girl... That's actually legendary." Ai: "That's really not the kind of legend I wanted." Ai: "This isn't over yet. I'm still here... I'm not history yet!" Ai: "I don't care if I'm a zombie, I will get up on stage again, and then..." Saki: "You were actually pretty fired up, huh?" Sakura: "Saki-chan." Saki: "Not sleeping?" Sakura: "It was kind of hard to..." Saki: "Those girls... if this was my old gang, I'd line them both up and kick their asses. Like, "You're dead!" Y'know?" Sakrua: "Well, don't do that." Saki: "I wasn't gonna. But if they're still at it, we're not gonna get far... Gotta do something, and soon." Sakura: "Yeah." Kotaro: "Good morning!" Kotaro: "Well, today, I've got more good news for you! It turns out that Franchouchou... Is going to be on the newcomer lineup for this year's Saga Rock!" Kotaro: "Yes, I am incredible!" Sakura: "Saga Rock?" Saki: "You gotta be kidding me..." Kotaro: "Listen up, ladies! You're never going to get another chance like this! You're going to have to nail it, no matter what! Saga will be at the center of the world on this day, and you all will need to stand as the center of Saga! Franchouchou will be performing onstage outdoors for the first time, and you will shake the Earth with your song!" Junko: "This is Junko. If I'm going to be a hindrance to the others, I'd rather turn into a mushroom..."

Sakura: "Last time on Zombie Land Saga... You can ask me about what kind of relationship idols and fans should have, but I sure as heck don't have a good answer! And Ai-chan and Junko-chan got into a huge fight over it! I wish they'd worry more about their own relationship than their relationship with fans! That was a joke! Just a Sakura joke! And wouldn't you know it? We got the news Franchouchou would be performing at Saga Rock! The best news ever at the worst possible time! I seriously have no idea what to do! Hawawagh! Or maybe even dwawawargh, y'know?!" Saki: "We seriously gotta start practicing or we're gonna run out of time." Sakura: "But I don't think we should do it without Junko-chan..." Saki: "So you're just gonna leave Ai alone? She said she was gonna practice, even if it was by herself." Sakura: "I really don't know what to do." Saki: "Damn it... What do you think, shrimpy?" Lily: "I think we should do the show, no matter what." Lily: "It'd be a huge waste if we let a chance like this pass us by. Of course, I'd rather Junko-chan be with us, but..." Saki: "How about you, Tae?" Saki: "And you, Sis?" Yugiri: "It's a good question... I can't help but wonder if there's a way to get through to Junko-han." Saki: "Well, she's been like that for almost two weeks." Yugiri: "What a difficult girl..." Saki: "Okay! Let's just drag her ass out!" Sakura: "No, I think that'd just make it worse!" Saki: "Okay! Forget it!" Lily: "So which is it?" Sakura: "But Lily-chan, if we do appear at Saga Rock, what about afterwards?" Sakura: "Will we be going on without Junko-chan?" Lily: "I don't want it to turn out that way, but... Even if she hears that we didn't get to go on stage at Saga Rock, I get the feeling Junko-chan won't ever come back to us." Sakura: "What do we do...?" Yugiri: "You're more mature than you look at times, Lily-han." Sakura: "I think we should ask Kotaro-san!" Saki: "Don't bother. He's totally useless." Sakura: "It's fine! Once he sees what's going on, I'm sure he'll—" Kotaro: "Figure it out your own damn self, you dumbass zombie!" Saki: "Told you." Intro: "Even if we're dead, we want to make our dreams come true... No, even if we're dead, we will make them come true! Is that despair? Or is it hope? We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if we don't have a pulse, we'll press on! Because that is our saga!" Ai: "What's taken you so long?" Sakura: "Sorry..." Ai: "We need to work on the timing for our moves right away." Ai: "We need to pick up the pace if we're going to make it." Sakura: "O-Okay." Ai: "What?" Sakura: "Maybe we should talk to her..." Ai: "Would you get a grip? We need every last minute to rehearse. We're already zombies, which means there's no telling what might happen..." Sakura: "But the new song's built around solos with you and Junko-chan." Ai: "I'll have to sing Junko's part." Sakura: "On your own?!" Ai: "Let's just get started." Ai: "You gonna be okay, Ai? What else can we do?! She's the one who has to figure her own stuff out!" Saki: "I was talking about you, girl." Ai: "I can't worry about anything else right now." Sakura: "Ai-chan! Are you okay?!" Ai: "It's fine. These kinds of lessons were normal when I was alive." Sakura: "But..." Ai: "Tomorrow's the show. Let's work on our final preparations." Kotaro: "Kicky blammo!" Kotaro: "Zombies are supposed to be on the other side of the barricades, dumbass!" Kotaro: "Sorry. How are you feeling, physically?" Junko: "Other than being dead, fine..." Kotaro: "Don't you think it's time you got out of here?" Junko: "I just don't understand idols anymore." Kotaro: "You were on the net in my room, right?" Junko: "Net...?" Kotaro: "As in the internet." Kotaro: "You used the computer, right?" Kotaro: "I'm not mad. It's been thirty years since you died," Kotaro: "and things have changed a lot." Junko: "I really was shocked." Kotaro: "There are things that have become more convenient, but they have their share of downsides. Everyone having a connected device has made it so that anyone can post information..." Kotaro: "but that makes it harder to keep anything private." Kotaro: "That sometimes means the private lives of idols. In the Showa period, stuff that would amount to the scandal of a lifetime leaks onto the internet almost every day. But in spite of the risk that kind of exposure brings, there are still idols who are at work." Kotaro: "And there's one other thing... The biggest change in regard to how idols operate is the closeness with their fans. The concept of "an idol you can see at any time" changed the industry, and the physical distance between both sides has shrunk." Kotaro: "Which you saw at the photo session." Kotaro: "But... not everything is different." Kotaro: "Wanting to help fans dream. Wanting to make them smile with dance and song. The core nature of being an idol hasn't changed since the old days. If you think the people who try to become idols now are any less noble, then you're wrong." Kotaro: "Times have changed and, as a result, the type of idol people seek has changed." Junko: "I understand things are different now. But I just... can't do it." Kotaro: "Then don't." Kotaro: "If you don't want to do photo sessions, turn them down. There's no need to force yourself to conform." Junko: "But Ai-san said..." Kotaro: "Just tell her, "That's my character."" Junko: "Character?" Kotaro: "Right. There are things that make Ai herself, and things that make you different." Kotaro: "You girls are zombies, not robots. Show the members of your group and the fans what you can do while adhering to the style of an idol from the Showa period." Kotaro: "That said, it'd be difficult to do that on your own at the moment." Kotaro: "And, as a zombie, there's not much you can count on for support. In order to make up for how extreme your quirks are, you'll need your zombie comrades." Kotaro: "Remember this... Franchouchou exists to support each other's wishes, in spite of the different times they're from." Kotaro: "If you open up to them, they will help you." Kotaro: "When that happens, think about what you can do to repay them. Tomorrow's forecast is clear in the morning with afternoon clouds and potential thunderstorms." Kotaro: "There'll be a storm at Saga Rock." Kotaro: "Ai Mizuno was killed by a lightning strike while performing on an outdoor stage." Kotaro: "You're not the only one who's fighting against nerves!" Kotaro: "If you're an idol, you belong on stage, Junko Konno!" Kotaro: "When you've found your nerve, open that box." Kotaro: "And fix the door." Ai: "I'm seeing things..." Saki: "Get some rest." Ai: "My body... I can't stop it from reacting" Ai: "because of my memories of what happened." Saki: "You're pushing yourself too hard." Ai: "I can't let this beat me. When we were on stage that day..." Ai: "Our CD had finally become a bestseller in Japan. It felt like we were just really getting started... We have to work hard to get as many fans as possible" Ai: "so I can get back to where I was." Junko: "I'm sorry. I was too slow." Ai: "It's okay. I'll just match up with you." Sakura: "I guess she's not coming..." Lily: "We're running out of time!" Kotaro: "Time's up. Get in." Sakura: "But..." Kotaro: "Get in." Sakura: "Junko-chan!" Junko: "Wait, please! I want to go with—" Sakura: "Huh? Why do I feel déjà vu?" Sakura: "Junko-chan!" Kotaro: "Don't help her!" Sakura: "Why not?!" Kotaro: "On your feet, Junko! You're not the type of girl who would let something like this stop you!" Saki: "You hit her with a freaking van!" Junko: "I'm going, too..." Junko: "because... I'm an idol!" Junko: "I'm the Showa idol, Junko Konno!" Sakura: "Junko-chan!" Saki: "Hell yeah! Attagirl!" Kotaro: "Today, you will be taking a major stage for the first time." Kotaro: "Once your performance begins, I won't be able to do anything else for you." Kotaro: "Let me get a good look at you all." Kotaro: "Here's some extra-strength waterproof spray, made especially for zombies! Now, even if it starts raining, you'll be fine! There's plenty more left, so everybody make sure you get your spray on!" Saki: "This says it's for shoes, damn it." Kotaro: "" Saki: "That's a huge crowd..." Sakura: "Iron Frill is really popular." ll: "Here we go, Saga!" ll: "We hope you enjoy it!" ll: "Let me hear you!" Sakura: "What is this?" Junko: "You used to be up there..." Ai: "Yes." Junko: "Mizuno-san..." Ai: "It's fine. I'll back you up." Sakura: "Lily-chan, your heart! Your heart's beating out of your chest!" Lily: "It just won't get back in there!" Staff: "Franchouchou, please standby." Saki: "Hell yeah!" Saki: "Let's bust a move out there!" Staff: "Hey! Quiet down! The current act is still on stage!" Saki: "Oh, sorry." Tae: "Ohsry..." Tae: "Man, what's the big deal? These guys should see what a rally is like... S'bigdl..." Yugiri: "You really are the leader." Sakura: "Even Tae-chan follows you." Ai: "Okay, form up." Ai: "Leader?" Saki: "I already said what I was gonna say." Ai: "Sakura, then." Sakura: "Uh..." Sakura: "I'm super glad we're all here today!" Sakura: "I want this group to do its best." Sakura: "All of us, together, forever!" Saki: "Hell yeah! Now let's show them what we got!" : "Yeah!" Saki: "You okay?" Ai: "Yeah... It's not as bad as I thought." Crowd: "Damn, it's really starting to come down. Let's move." Crowd: "Who's up next? Some idols I've never heard of. Okay, not missing much, then." Saki: "Hey! We're Franchouchou! Uh, I was born and died in Saga... Wait, I mean, like, it felt like I died... And then, I met these girls... And so, like... that's why I love Saga! That's all!" Crowd: "They seem really tense. Is that how it's supposed to look? This is hard to watch. Give me a break." Ai: "Calm down, you can do this... You have to!" Dudes: "What's going on? Is she scared of the lightning?" Junko: "It's all right. I'll back you up." Ai: "We're fine...?" Junko: "Because we're zombies." Staff: "Stay calm and check everything! The current act should—" Kotaro: "That won't be necessary." Kotaro: "Start the music!" Dudes: "Good stuff." Kotaro: "Now they look like real idols." Kotaro: "It's finally begun..." Ai: "Keep it together, now." Junko: "Idols are supposed to bring people smiles." Saki: "We're Franchouchou! Nice to meet ya!" Okoba: "Whoa, whoa... Did I really just see that?" Inubashi: "This is great! It's gonna be huge!" Lily: "Lily here! I wonder if I was dazzling out there. It'd be great if even more people came and saw us!"

Sakura: "Last time on Zombie Land Saga... Ai-chan and Junko-chan got into a huge fight right before Saga Rock! Ai-chan was grrr, grrr and Junko-chan was sob, sob and I was totally whoa, whoa about what to do! But then, on the day of Saga Rock, Junko-chan's idol spirit was all rumble rumble which left me totally sniffle, sniffle! Even though the thunder was going boom, boom, we had our first ba-dump, ba-dump show in front of a huge crowd! There was trouble that made us go eek, eek, but we worked together and the performance was a huge yay, yay success! And now, Franchouchou's legend can begin..." Sakura: "Or... so I hope." Sakura: "Look, look, Saki-chan, there we are!" Sakura: "Saga Rock was so amazing! It's great that we got to go!" Junko: "This is the same reporter that did the story on the "haunting" at Ureshino Onsen." Ai: "Over the last month, more videos and comments have been posted. I think we're about to start seeing some reactions. Both the good and the bad." Lily: "Hey, I was the most dazzling, right?" Saki: "What, are you in the pic? Oh, there you are!" Saki: "You were so tiny I didn't see you." Lily: "I wasn't asking you, Saki-chan!" Sakura: "I think you were dazzling." Lily: "Really?!" Sakura: "I love it when you smile! And your star is really cute!" Lily: "Yay!" Rookie: "Amamoto-san, what do you wanna do for lunch?" Amamoto: "The Sicilian rice bowl." Rookie: "That's, like, your fave!" Rookie: "What about you, Go-san?" Dad: "I'm fine." Rookie: "All right." Dad: "I'm gonna go grab lunch..." Amamoto: "Right." Rookie: "Does Go-san always leave to eat?" Amamoto: "The man hates TV." Rookie: "Oh, yeah, you get a lot of people saying they don't watch anymore." Cm: "Yakitori number one, chicken and rice number two, salad's number three for nutrition!" Amamoto: "That's not exactly why, but yeah." Cm: "Service with a smile..." Other Mom: "Hey, what're you doing?" Other Mom: "Come with me." Intro: "Even if we're dead, we want to make our dreams come true... No, even if we're dead, we will make them come true! Is that despair? Or is it hope? We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if we don't have a pulse, we'll press on! Because that is our saga!" Kotaro: "G'morning!" Sakura: "Good morning!" Junko: "Good morning." Kotaro: "Well, Franchouchou, good job getting that writeup." Kotaro: "How about it, Junko? Any thoughts, looking back on Saga Rock?" Junko: "Well.. I guess... It felt like a glimpse of some potential." Kotaro: "It totally did, didn't it?! You girls are riding a wave of interest right now." Sakura: "Junko-chan..." Kotaro: "How about it, Sakura? Are you enjoying the ride?" Sakura: "Uh... well... Aren't you gonna tell me not to get carried awa—" Kotaro: "Get carried away, dumbass!" Kotaro: "You get in a magazine, you're allowed to get carried away! You get to stick that Pinocchio nose of yours high in the air, so it's the highest point on the big wave you've caught!" Kotaro: "How about it, Lily? You enjoying the ride? That star gonna start growing?" Lily: "No!" Kotaro: "Huh? Why not? Huh? Why for? It's not gonna get bigger? How come? Big as the boulder in Kyoseki Park! Y'know?" Kotaro: "Teehee! Listen up. Since you're zombies, you have to use anything you can to your advantage, including miracles. The next step is to become a group that everyone in Saga, from the elderly to little kids, knows about. That means community events, mini concerts, local TV... You're gonna be doing anything and everything. The time has come to go on the offensive!" Kotaro: "All right, we're going to move on to the photo session." Kotaro: "For Number 4, we will be offering these signed glamour shots instead." Kotaro: "Also, please be aware that touching the members of the group is strictly prohibited." Saki: "Hey, trouble just walked up!" Sakura: "Trouble?" Sakura: "He's huge!" Saki: "That dude's gotta be a yak." Sakura: "Yak...?" Saki: "Maybe shades got himself a shady loan and now this guy's here to collect." Sakura: "A debt collector?! Wh-Where's Kotaro-san?" Saki: "Gone! He's run off!" Sakura: "Wait, the yak just got in line..." Saki: "That's shrimpy's line!" Sakura: "Maybe he's a fan of Lily-chan's?" Saki: "I wouldn't relax yet. We're big enough to get into Sagazine now." Saki: "Maybe the dude's here to kidnap shrimpy." Sakura: "Kidnap?!" : "The show was amazing! I promise I'll come see you all again!" Lily: "Thank you! Bye-bye!" Lily: "It's nice to meet you! I'm Number 6." Dad: "Y-You really..." Saki: "What the hell do you think you're doing, pal?!" Sakura: "Come with me, Lily-chan!" Lily: "But... th-that's..." Skull: "That girl is scary. I think that dude's dead." Bulk: "That's what I love about Number 2! Must be nice..." Kotaro: "It's all good, it's all good, it's all good. It's all good, it's all good, it's all good... It's all—" Junko: "Tatsumi-san!" Junko: "Th-There's been trouble." Saki: "Y'know it's no touching allowed, pops!" Dad: "Sorry. She just... looks so much like..." Saki: "Looks like who?" Dad: "Seven years ago, there was child star who used to be on TV a lot... Lily Hoshikawa." Ai: "What happened to Lily could happen to any of us. Especially for myself and Junko." Junko: "You're right... Even if our names aren't public, it is cause for concern." Yugiri: "It's a shame how having a job that puts you on display is as dangerous as it's ever been..." Saki: "Damn it, what a drag!" Sakura: "Isn't Lily-chan late coming back from washing up?" Sakura: "I was surprised when you weren't over by the faucet." Sakura: "Lily-chan?" Lily: "Sakura-chan... that man from this morning..." Lily: "That's my actual pappy." Sakura: "The yak?!" Lily: "The who?" Sakura: "But he was freaking huge!" Lily: "I take more after my mommy." Lily: "I didn't even think he'd ever show up..." Sakura: "You didn't?" Lily: "To be honest, I was trying to forget about him..." Lily: "But Pappy..." Lily: "It was just the two of us, see? But I was never lonely." Lily: "I knew that Mommy was looking down on us from the sky. And we had a TV." Lily: "He really loved TV! He said it was great to watch it with someone... He always talked about how much fun it was to laugh and cry alongside someone. He'd always make me sit next to him! He could be so silly," Lily: "but I loved seeing how much he enjoyed TV. That's why I thought... It'd be great if I could make him smile from inside the TV." Lily: "When I signed up for a children's talent agency, he quit his job to be my manager. So he was always with me when there was work. I was cute and great at acting from the start, so every show I was in turned into a magical hit!" Lily: "But... right when I was at the top, it happened..." Dad: "Masao! Open the door! They need you to get the show moving!" Lily: "No! I'm not coming out!" Dad: "It's fine. That part's not going to show on TV." Lily: "You only care about me when I'm on TV! You don't worry about the real me!" Dad: "Of course I do! A little leg hair isn't a big deal!" Dad: "It just means you're growing up a little." Lily: "I am never growing up!" Dad: "You can't look like that forever." Lily: "I can, too! I don't want to look like you, Pappy! You dummy!" Dad: "Masao! A lot of people are really looking forward to this show! Now, open this door!" Lily: "I am not gonna grow up." Lily: "Is that some seaweed from yesterday's breakfast...?" Dad: "Masao! I'm coming in!" Dad: "Masao..." Dad: "Masao!" Lily: "That was the last time I saw him." Sakura: "Uh... Sorry, Lily-chan..." Sakura: "I'm having trouble keeping up here... Who was this Masao guy you started mentioning partway through?" Lily: "That was my old name." Sakura: "So it turns out Lily-chan used to be Masao-kun." Saki: "Dying over some whiskers... that's the greatest thing I've ever heard... Now that's legendary!" Sakura: "Saki-chan!" Saki: "Wait, so what's your full name then, shrimpy?" Lily: "Masao Go." Saki: "That's so butch! It's like the most macho name I ever heard! Wait, what about pops? What's his name?" Lily: "Takeo Go." Saki: "That's totally him! That is exactly his name!" Lily: "I hate you, Saki-chan!" Saki: "Sorry, sorry!" Yugiri: "I have to say, this is a bit of a surprise." Ai: "So, what happens now?" Lily: "I'm still Lily, and that's who I'm always going to be. Zombies don't grow, after all!" Lily: "So I've got nothing to worry about." Sakura: "Lily-chan..." Ai: "So, did he know?" Kotaro: "Hell yeah, I knew." Kotaro: "Teehee!" Saki: "I'm seriously gonna kill you, man!" Kotaro: "What?! Is Masao Go not allowed in your girly idol group anymore?!" Lily: "I am not Masao anymore! My name is Lily!" Kotaro: "That's right! She's Lily, not Masao! The rest of you are Masao, and I'm Lily!" Kotaro: "Besides, you've got a gig tomorrow! If you've got time to waste on tired-ass questions, maybe you should go to bed, you bunch of morons!" Junko: "She's so cute." Ai: "I'm surprised we never noticed in spite of how close we've all been together..." Saki: "Ah, who cares! Doesn't matter what kinda junk she's got." Junko: "J-Junk..." Saki: "Besides, we're all zombies." Yugiri: "It honestly makes me wonder what exactly zombies are. To think that we're never going to age..." Sakura: "You've got a point. Lily-chan is going to stay Lily-chan. And none of us are ever going to change. Because we're zombies." Dad: "Look at this! We got top ratings!" Dad: "That means you amazed a ton of people!" Tv: "Today's guest is Lily Hoshikawa." Lily: "It's nice to be here!" Dad: "There you go, Lily. That's the way. Keep it up." Lily: "Pappy...?" Dad: "Aw, the camera was slightly off for that look you gave..." Lily: "I want the two of us to go out sometimes." Dad: "You want to go out?" Lily: "I wanna go to Kouno Park again. With you." Dad: "Sounds good. We can go when the filming for the show that airs next season is done." Lily: "Yep! He's always with me." Doc: "I think it was death from mental shock. Something must've caused an incredible deal of mental distress before the fall." Lily: "Pappy!" Dad: "I understand..." Dad: "I know that girl can't be Masao." Lily: "Hello there! Sorry about the other day. The others didn't mean anything bad by it." Dad: "Nah, that was my fault. Uh, can I get a T-shirt?" Lily: "Sure! But I don't think it'll fit. You usually get a 5XL right?" Dad: "I'm impressed you can tell." Lily: "W-We have lots of different fans, so I can tell!" Dad: "I see. But I actually want an extra small." Dad: "See, I used to have a kid who was about your age." Dad: "But I was a bad father..." Dad: "I was so focused on myself, I wasn't able to care for them properly." Dad: "Is your dad a nice man?" Lily: "Yeah! Pa— I mean, Dad's really nice! Really, really nice!" Dad: "Sorry for scaring you before. I won't come back again." Dad: "I just wanted to apologize for what happened." Dad: "Goodbye, now." Sakura: "Lily-chan..." Lily: "I-I'm totally fine!" Lily: "We better get to practice, huh?" Sakura: "It's okay. Everyone agreed you should take a break for today." Lily: "Maybe I'd be better off if I didn't remember anything. Like you, Sakura-chan." Sakura: "No. It's because you remembered your dad, and he remembered you, that you're able to understand how you really feel." Lily: "Pappy... He loved me this entire time..." Lily: "And I..." Lily: "And I..." Saki: "There might be people we knew who're torn up about what happened, too." Sakura: "Why can't I remember...?" Sakura: "That view is the only thing I remember..." Sakura: "but when and where is it from?" Ai: "Is something wrong?" Sakura: "S-Sorry!" Saki: "Y'know, leaving this as-is sucks too bad!" Lily: "What else can I do? I'm a zombie now." Sakura: "No, there might still be a way. Let's think about it." Lily: "Sakura-chan." Ai: "I think the answer's already clear." Junko: "There is something that we, and only we, can do." Ai: "But first we've gotta talk to him." Rookie: "Oh, that was in the mail." Rookie: "I'll toss it, then. Gotta wonder if being regional idols is even doable nowadays." Sakura: "We're almost done... Do you think he'll come?" Ai: "We've done everything we can." Lily: "Pappy!" Saki: "Well, we've got a new song for you today!" Saki: "Main vocals will be by shrimpy!" Sakura: "Saki-chan! Not shrimpy!" Saki: "I mean, by Number 6!" Lily: "This is "To My Dearest."" Lily: "I'm really, really glad you came today!" Lily: "You know, I love TV! I'm going to work hard so I can be on TV a lot! And I hope I can make you smile when you see me there!" Lily: "I'm super duper glad you came and saw me! I promise I will never ever forget you!" Lily: "I love you!" Rookie: "What you wanna get today, Amamoto-san?" Amamoto: "Sicilian rice bowl." Rookie: "Every time, huh?" Dad: "I think I'll have the chicken udon." Rookie: "You're gonna eat here today, Go-san?!" Dad: "Yeah." : "Yakitori number one, chicken and rice number two, salad's number three for nutrition!" Amamoto: "These girls are real funny." Rookie: "For real! I cracked up when I saw it." : "Service with a smile, come on and get your fill! Yeah! Fresh, tasty, and fun! Bring all your friends..."

Sakura: "Last time on Zombie Land Saga! After a crazy Saga Rock, people are starting to hear our name! Franchouchou's so happy and embarrassed! We did it! But then Lily-chan's pappy showed up out of nowhere! At first she wasn't sure what to do, but she seemed really happy to learn that he never stopped caring about her!" Sakura: "Even with my zombie heart, what happened still gave me that warm feeling!" Sakura: "The end!" Saki: "Those Korosuke chicks don't know when to give up..." Reiko: "They're freaking out, trying to keep us from taking over Kyushu." Saki: "This is getting to be a drag. Maybe I'll just crush them all myself." Reiko: "You really oughta do something about that crazy streak or it's gonna end up killing you." Saki: "No way in hell am I dying. And neither is this little guy! Check it out! A Maskutchi." Reiko: "Let's head back." Saki: "Damn, I'm hungry! I wish Drive Tori was open this early..." Saki: "Reiko! You wanna race to Tenmangu?" Reiko: "You never learn, huh? You know that when it comes to cranking the throttle, you never beat me." Saki: "I'll make up for it with guts." Reiko: "Not in a million years." Intro: "Even if we're dead, we want to make our dreams come true... No, even if we're dead, we will make them come true! Is that despair? Or is it hope? We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if we don't have a pulse, we'll press on! Because that is our saga!" Grandpas: "Huh? What was that? Like I said! Those gals said they wanna join us! For the Kashima Dance! What?!" Saki: "You trying to tell me this is gonna help Franchouchou out?" Sakura: "S-Sure! That's what Kotaro-san said..." Kotaro: "So, if you take a look here, you can see that the population of Saga is generally of advanced age, right? Which means you all need to work harder to grab the hearts of all these old folks! And in order to make them your fans..." Kotaro: "You're going to joining in on a practice meeting for the Kashima Dance!" Junko: "Has there ever in history been idols with a significant elderly fanbase?" Ai: "Well, not that I've heard of." Grandpas: "All right, it's about time to get started." Grandpas: "Upsie-daisy..." Grandpas: "Music! Come on!" Lily: "Wow!" Saki: "They're sharp as hell!" Grandpa: "Get a move on, now! All of you, come on!" Sakura: "We're supposed to come on already?!" Junko: "Do you think we'll be able to keep up?" Ai: "Well, we'll just have to find out!" Lily: "That was harder than our usual lessons, I think!" Sakura: "You two!" Sakura: "Everybody's waiting!" Lily: "Coming!" Lily: "Lame." Maria: "You chicks... What the hell makes you think you can dance around here, huh?" Maria: "What middle school you from, anyway?!" Sakura: "I-It's like another Saki-chan..." Lily: "I'm a permanent grade schooler now, thank you!" Ukawa: "Maria-chan, I think going after grade schoolers is kinda..." Sayama: "I agree with her." Maria: "N-Never mind you, then." Maria: "But you! What the hell makes you think you can hoot and holler in this park?!" Sakura: "I-I mean... Th-This is a public park, right?" Lily: "Yeah, get her!" Sakura: "This is bad! Tae-chan, cut it out!" Maria: "What the hell is wrong with you, bitch?!" Saki: "Sakura! You done yet? I'm gonna kill you if you don't get a move on." Lily: "Saki-chan!" Maria: "Where the hell do you get off butting into this, huh?!" Saki: "Don't pick fights you're not ready for." Ukawa: "Maria-chan... These girls seem kinda dangerous. Also, crazy." Sayama: "I agree with her!" Maria: "Just remember, this park is Dorami turf! You got that?!" Lily: "What the heck was that?" Sakura: "Thank you, Saki-chan." Saki: "For real...?" Sayama: "Maria-chan... I'm starting to think we shouldn't bother anymore." Ukawa: "Maybe we should all quit Dorami-chan together." Maria: "Don't put a -chan on the end of the team's name!" Ukawa: "Our bikes are scooters..." Sayama: "Being lady bikers is too much work." Maria: "Dumbass! I am not quitting this team, no matter what!" Ukawa: "But your mom... I mean, even the first boss..." Maria: "I keep telling you not to bring her up." Ukawa: "Sorry..." Sayama: "Maria-chan! It's Korosuke!" Ukawa: "Th-The tenth boss of Korosuke..." Sayama: "Misa the Fallen Angel!" Misa: "Been a while, Maria. I was thinking it's about time I shut Dorami down for good." Maria: "You can take all that crap you're talking and cram it. Dorami isn't going anywh—" Misa: "No one interfere, now." Misa: "This beef has been going since these clubs started... Why don't we end it ourselves?" Maria: "Sounds good to me." Lily: "Tae-chan! Did you eat my squid?!" Tae: "Liar! Open your mouth!" Ai: "Hey, quit playing around! We're crammed in here!" Junko: "Excuse me... can someone open a window?" Yugiri: "Are you not feeling well, Junko-han? There's a pressure point here that should help..." Sakura: "Does that still work on zombies?" Kotaro: "Could all of you please shut the hell up?!" Sakura: "What's wrong, Saki-chan?" Saki: "Damn it..." Ai: "What are you doing?!" Lily: "Tatsumi..." Kotaro: "What is it now?! Damn!" Lily: "Saki-chan fell out." Kotaro: "No way!" Saki: "Hold up." Saki: "Oh, crap." Korosukes: "H-Hey! This is none of your business! Back off!" Misa: "And who are you?" Saki: "Me? Let's see..." Cop: "Hey, hey! What are you girls doing over there?" Cop: "I-I'll call for backup, y'know...! If you don't wanna end up locked up, be good kids and run along... please." Misa: "That killed the mood." Misa: "We'll settle this some other way. And soon." Maria: "What'd you butt in for?" Saki: "Because you've got no chance in hell against her." Maria: "Don't just make stuff up!" Saki: "I'm telling you, you can't take her." Maria: "No matter what anybody says, I'm gonna keep Dorami going!" Saki: "Listen... What's her name, anyway?" Saki: "Your, uh... Y'know." Saki: "You got a mom, right?" Maria: "Who gives a crap about that spineless wimp?" Maria: "Let's go." Ukawa: "Maria-chan, wait!" Reiko: "Maria! I was so worried! You were out so late..." Maria: "Give it a rest." Reiko: "Wait! This was stuffed into our mailbox..." Maria: "It's them... Are they stupid?!" Reiko: "Please, Maria, stop all this!" Maria: "Cram it! It's none of your business, anyway!" Reiko: "I'm sorry." Maria: "Why are you always apologizing when you didn't do anything wrong?! Like a weakling!" Kotaro: "What the hell was that?! The only way zombies like you are allowed to interact with living humans is when you're doing idol stuff!" Saki: "I get it." Kotaro: "No, you don't." Kotaro: "Anything involving violence is totally taboo for idols. There's a chance that your personal actions could put an end to Franchouchou." Kotaro: "Keep that in mind." Reiko: "Thank you for being born, Maria!" Maria: "I'm going now!" Reiko: "Make sure to be a good girl and greet everybody! Be safe!" Maria: "I'm heading out!" Reiko: "You're all grown up now! Have a good day!" Maria: "I'm leaving." Reiko: "I'm so glad you're such a good girl! Take care! Welcome ho—" Reiko: "If you saw me now..." Reiko: "I wonder what you'd think?" Reiko: "Saki..." Reiko: "So, what are you going to do from now on?" Reiko: "In the future." Saki: "I figure after taking over Kyushu comes taking the rest of the country, right?" Reiko: "That's just like you." Saki: "Not you, though?" Reiko: "I..." Reiko: "I want to get married like normal and have a normal family." Reiko: "Y'know, my parents are divorced... and stuff like studying and school clubs..." Reiko: "I never had, like, a "normal youth," right?" Reiko: "I don't want my kids to end up like this." Saki: "What the hell's normal supposed to be? I don't get it." Reiko: "I bet you don't!" Saki: "She's got the same eyes as Reiko." Misa: "We'll settle this some other way. And soon." Saki: "That's pretty damn soon!" Kotaro: "Where are you going?" Kotaro: "It seems you didn't understand what I told you, after all." Saki: "I told you, I get it." Kotaro: "What are you going to do, then?" Saki: "Ain't it obvious?" Saki: "Idol stuff, man." Reiko: "Maria. Do you want dinner?" Reiko: "Kagamiyama?!" Korosuke I: "You ready to do this?" Saki: "I was born ready." Saki: "Reiko, hang on to this for me." Reiko: "Saki!" Saki: "I told you..." Saki: "There's no way in hell I'm dying." Reiko: "Saki! Let go of me!" Doramis: "Reiko-san! You can't!" Reiko: "Saki!" Misa: "This place has some history for Korosuke and Dorami." Misa: "A good place for your club to finally die." Maria: "Keep on yapping." Misa: "We're playing chicken towards the end of the cliff. First to brake loses." Misa: "You wanna quit, now's the chance." Maria: "Shut up! Let's get started already." Misa: "That's what I like to hear." Korosuke: "Three... Two..." Reiko: "Maria!" Korosukes: "Who's the old lady? Her bike's pretty sweet, though." Maria: "What the hell do you want?!" Reiko: "You need to stop this nonsense!" Maria: "Shut up! You need to back off!" Maria: "Hey!" Reiko: "Please, put a stop to this. I'm begging you!" Maria: "How pathetic are you gonna get?!" Maria: "Always bowing down and apologizing..." Maria: "I thought you were the first boss of Dorami! How did you end up like this?!" Maria: "I am never going to end up like you!" Maria: "Keeping this team going is gonna be proof of that!" Reiko: "Maria..." Reiko: "Maria! Wait!" Saki: "Crap, crap, crap, crap! Stop, stop, stop—" Korosukes: "Who's this? That... seemed kinda crazy." Saki: "Even if my heart stopped once..." Saki: "It pulses now intensely with the echoes..." Saki: "of the voices of the friends who once watched my back... And to pay back the gratitude they've earned," Saki: "I'll once again race down the path of carnage." Misa: "You again? This is private business." Saki: "It's my business, too. I'm Dorami's Captain-for-a-Day!" Misa: "Captain-for-a-Day?" Maria: "What gives you the right?!" Saki: "What's the big deal? You oughta be glad to have a new member, anyway." Maria: "D-Don't give me that!" Saki: "If you're in Dorami, you oughta know." Saki: "There's a dumbass who actually died doing this before." Saki: "You telling me you're ready to die?" Misa: "I don't care who I'm up against if it brings Dorami down." Saki: "I'm borrowing your bike." Reiko: "Stop this craziness! Do you realize how dangerous this is?! You could die!" Saki: "There's no way in hell I'm dying." Reiko: "Saki...?!" Saki: "Who's that supposed to be?" Misa: "You ready to go?" Saki: "I was born ready." Korosukes: "Three! Two!" Korosukes: "One!" Korosukes: "Go!" Korosukes: "No way! She sped up?!" Saki: "Get a load of this!" Saki: "Damn, that hurt." Maria: "Holy crap..." Maria: "She's got more guts than anyone I've ever seen." Saki: "Crap... Guess I wrecked your bike." Saki: "Sorry about all the trouble." Reiko: "You dumbass! What the hell were you gonna do if things went wrong?!" Saki: "Maria..." Saki: "Seems to me your mom's got plenty of guts. You wanna keep Dorami going, you need to face her head on and prove to her" Saki: "that you've got enough guts that she won't have to worry about you." Saki: "Whew..." Saki: "Still don't get it, though. What does "normal" even mean?" Misa: "You've got me beat." Misa: "You could definitely be a legend among the next gen of lady bikers." Saki: "Legend..." Saki: "Oh, crap! I forgot the most important part!" Saki: "Listen up, people! This kinda stuff isn't legendary! It's nothing!" Saki: "What I'm after is way above all this! I'm gonna show you what a real legend looks like." Kotaro: "Music... come on." Saki: "Whether it's taking over Kyushu or the whole damn country... Anybody who wants to laugh is dead meat." Maria: "Number 2..."

Ai: "Good morning." Clerk B: "Good morning, San-chan." Granny E: "San-chan!" Granny E: "Have you been eating aside from lunch?" Ai: "Yes." Granny E: "You always look so sickly, it's got me worried." Granny A: "I know! I'll bring you some nori next chance I get. Doesn't get much more nutritious than Saga's nori!" Ai: "Thank you." Chief: "Well, good morning everyone!" Workers: "Good morning." Chief: "We've got a fine view of Imari Bay again today, and the horseshoe crabs are looking lively. I'm hoping you'll all cook, slice, and dry with the kinda pride folks working for the only dried squid maker in Kyushu ought to have. Time for the company anthem! Leading us today is gonna be Tatsumi-kun." Chief: "If you could!" Ai: "Right!" Ai: "I'm back." Lily: "There you are!" Sakura: "Welcome back, Ai-chan." Junko: "Welcome home." Ai: "I brought you guys something. Tono-sama dried squid." Lily: "Yay!" Sakura: "Tae-chan! Cut that out! We're all gonna share that! Enough!" Saki: "Hey, Ai. The water's yours if you want it." Ai: "Thanks. I think I will." Sakura: "I'm glad nobody found out we're zombies today!" Junko: "It's been surprisingly easy to keep it under wraps." Ai: "And we've all been working for a month now. Should be fine as long as nothing crazy happens." Ai: "It's you two I'm worried about, Sakura." Sakura: "I'll be careful." Lily: "Tae-chan, manners!" Ai: "If you think about it, Yugiri probably needs to be most careful since she has a service job... But I don't think we need to worry." Sakura: "She really took to it easily! Like she already had the right bearing." Ai: "If we keep working, we should be able to get out of debt eventually!" Sakura: "Yeah! The girls of Franchouchou, in the last winter of the Heisei era, pulled off a show at Arpino with a 500-member audience. After that, our profile blew up like a balloon, with our first CD selling like hotcakes! It was such a thrill to get to perform at a bunch of new venues! Then a month later..." Kotaro: "And boom! We're barreling right into a show at the Ekimae Fudosan Stadium... EFS for short! And then, once you've got the crowd on fire, you'll blow them up with the new song as an encore, like boom!" Kotaro: "Franchouchou's legend is going to keep blowing up like a cluster bomb!" Sakura: "So, Franchouchou was on stage for a show at the EFS! And the result?" Sakura: "We managed to sell 500 tickets of the 30,000-person venue. That's an attendance rate of 1.66%! We bombed in the worst way any idol group can imagine! Our performance was totally shaky, which meant no encore, and our new song was put back on the shelf..." Sakura: "Plus, we ended up saddled with a huge debt! A-boo-hoo-hoo!" Kotaro: "Is this hell?" Sakura: "We might've had a huge disaster, but we still want to get on stage again! That's why we've all gotten jobs to pay off that debt!" Sakura: "We're not gonna give up!" Sakura: "As for our producer, Kotaro-san..." Kotaro: "Pope's nose...! Pope's nose! Why would you... Why call it that?!" Kotaro: "Oh, you want me to save Saga? Gee, I wonder..." Kotaro: "Hell no! It ain't happening! Saga's doomed! It's the Sagapocalypse!" Kotaro: "That's... That's why I wanted to take Saga and..." Kotaro: "Pope's nose! Good grief! What must that feel like?!" Lily: "Hey, Saga!" Lily: "Time for your milk!" Ai: "Come on, hold still!" Sakura: "We keep trying, but it never turns out right..." Saki: "It just doesn't have the lively look, y'know what I mean?" Junko: "Well, we are dead, after all." Sakura: "I think Kotaro-san is the only one who can get the color right..." Saki: "What the hell is wrong with Shades, anyway?" Sakura: "I'll go check on him again." Sakura: "Good evening." Sakura: "Is he in?" Sakura: "Kotaro-san! Wake up!" Sakura: "Kotaro-san?" Kotaro: "What the...?! So dark! I can't see a thing!" Sakura: "That's because you grew your hair out too long!" Kotaro: "Oh, it's Sakura. Again." Sakura: "It can't be healthy to act like this." Sakura: "Oh, and listen to this! We all worked hard and managed to get more money together for this month than we expected! Kotaro-san... what happened at the EFS was a real shame," Sakura: "but I think, in the end, it'll be a good experience for us! If we can get past this, I know we'll be even—" Kotaro: "It's already over." Sakura: "We're not letting it end!" Sakura: "I don't know when, but we'll pay off that debt! No matter how long it takes, we'll do our best and keep working!" Kotaro: "Just go, okay?" Sakura: "We've got a death metal show at Geil's soon. That was where we went on stage for the first time. We all decided to perform there again so Franchouchou could get a fresh start." Sakura: "We wanna sing the song we didn't get to at the EFS. So, please, come and see us." Kotaro: "What's with you?! Huh?! You're all squinched up, like a pope's nose! The chicken, I mean! Huh?! Hey, Sakura, say, "I'm a pope's nose!" Overhead toss!" Sakura: "How can we get the old Kotaro-san back?" Saki: "Being a total wreck for a whole month is pretty bad." Junko: "It's going to be hard for Franchouchou to operate without Tatsumi-san." Ai: "I'm just guessing here, but..." Ai: "It might not be about the money." Yugiri: "You suppose there's something that he wouldn't tell us?" Ai: "When you get down to it, it was weird that he wanted us to perform at the EFS when he did in the first place." Junko: "Now that you mention it, I can't imagine why he thought it'd be a success..." Sakura: "Maybe he was... in a hurry, or something?" Saki: "For what?" Sakura: "I dunno, but..." Yugiri: "If Ai-han's on the right track and we can figure out the details, there may be a way to get through to him." Lily: "I wonder if we could find anything in Tatsumi's room." Junko: "It's open." Saki: "Hell yeah!" Saki: "All right, time for a raid!" Lily: "Yay!" Sakura: "H-H-Hang on a sec!" Sakura: "Nobody break anything, okay?" Sakura: "Ow, ow, ow..." Sakura: "Oh, what do I do now?!" Kotaro: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, like this!" Kotaro: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, like this!" Kotaro: "Yeah, yeah woohoo— Wait, no, not like this..." Ai: "This is the song we were supposed to sing for the encore." Kotaro: "It's not "yeah, yeah, woohoo." It's more like..." Saki: "Guess it's a work-in-progress tape." Kotaro: "Yeah, yeah...." Kotaro: "Yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah, okay..." Kotaro: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, like this!" Ai: "This must be his usual process." Ai: "You can feel the passion." Saki: "Before he burned out, anyway." Lily: "We never figured out why he was in a rush, either." Sakura: "But now we know how he felt about the EFS show..." Sakura: "Let's make sure Kotaro-san comes to our next one." Sakura: "If we can sing the encore we didn't before, maybe he'll turn back to normal." Sakura: "If he feels better, maybe we'll understand!" Junko: "That might be the most effective way." Saki: "No other way about it. We're gonna hit him where it feels good!" : "Yeah!" Yugiri: "Here you are." Cop: "Reporting in after another day defending order in Saga! The drinks you pour me after days like these taste so sweet!" Yugiri: "I'm hoping you continue to take good care of Saga." Cop: "Of course! I'll be here to see you every night!" Cop: "Those eyes... makes me wanna arrest 'em!" Kotaro: "Never been here before!" Kotaro: "Wrong bar." Yugiri: "Kotaro-han..." Yugiri: "You're drinking too much." Kotaro: "Wrong..." Yugiri: "Excuse me?" Kotaro: "I was wrong..." Kotaro: "I was wrong..." Kotaro: "I was so wrong..." Ai: "Okay, if we can pull that off on stage, we'll be good to go." Saki: "No reason we can't!" Sakura: "That just leaves Kotaro-san..." Saki: "We never heard from him, huh?" Junko: "After what Yugiri-san told us about how he was last night..." Yugiri: "He was coming apart at the seams." Sakura: "I don't want any of you to worry." Sakura: "I'm gonna go bring him in." Sakura: "The rest of you should get ready!" Sakura: "The show is tonight." Sakura: "Please, hear me out!" Kotaro: "I already told you to do whatever you want." Sakura: "I'm only asking you to show up! Me and the others want to sing your songs a whole lot more! We want to keep being idols!" Kotaro: "There is nothing more I can do." Sakura: "What happened to you?" Sakura: "Do you remember what you said?" Kotaro: "I have what it takes! I will never abandon you!" Sakura: "Where did that Kotaro-san go?" Kotaro: "Guess I had less than I thought..." Sakura: "You're such a jerk! I don't care anymore!" Sakura: "We're going to have to make this show a success, even without Kotaro-san." Death Dude A: "We don't come around for a while and now the whole club's filled with new folks." Death Dude B: "I hope Franchouchou is gonna be okay. This is a heck of a spot to play after what happened at the EFS..." Death Dude A: "Just goes to show how important this show's gonna be. Which means all we gotta do is support them!" Death Dude B: "True enough!" Crowd: "Idols? What the hell?" Death Dude A: "Franchouchou!" Death Dude B: "We've been waiting!" Crowd: "Are these chicks for real? Come on, get on with it!" Saki: "Hey, we're Franchouchou! Uh, a little while back, we tried to do a show at the EFS and, well, we couldn't let it end like that! So, next time, we're gonna pull it off! Today is gonna be our first step towards that. We're gonna give you our best shot! Thanks for coming!" Ai: "We've done a lot of shows this size before." Ai: "We'll pull this one off and get over what happened at the EFS!" Sakura: "It'll be okay... It'll be okay." Xufu: "How long are you going to darken my bar with that sorry look?" Kotaro: "Do you serve the customers verbal abuse here?" Xufu: "My real customers don't sleep here because they're scared of going home." Xufu: "You said you were done, right? With this... Genkai Zombie Energy Park Project of yours." Kotaro: "It's called the Zombie Land Saga Project." Xufu: "Yeah, that." Xufu: "It was a crazy scheme in the first place... Zombies as idols?" Xufu: "I'm sure your Saga-ettes will get over it, too." Xufu: "They'll look back on their undeaths and think of it as a fun memory." Kotaro: "The group name is "Franchouchou."" Xufu: "They'll be able to go on and have normal lives as zombies. Well, technically they're not ali—" Kotaro: "After making the biggest screwup any idol group could and getting stuck with massive debt... Even you should know that there won't be enough time to pull it off." Xufu: "Please. You've already demanded more than is reasonable of those girls, and they managed to pull it off." Xufu: "So, if you say it can't be done... Well, it probably can't, then." Xufu: "This whole thing started because of what you wanted. Why not let it end when you want? Go on and tell them, "I've got no faith in the Saga-ettes." "You Saga-ettes are all washed up."" Kotaro: "It's not the Saga-ettes..." Kotaro: "It's Franchouchou!" Xufu: "Yeah, that." Ai: "This is bad. It's gonna have the opposite effect..." Crowd: "Y'all done yet? Then get off the stage!" Saki: "We've still got another song left!" Crowd: "Sing it somewhere else, then!" Stagehand: "You gals done or what?" Lily: "What should we do?" Saki: "We're not backing off after coming this far!" Junko: "But... in this atmosphere..." Saki: "Damn it." Ai: "Sakura..." Sakura: "No... after we all got on stage again..." Sakura: "It can't end like this..." Sakura: "Kotaro-san!" Kotaro: "Encore!" Crowd: "Who the hell are you? Shut up!" Kotaro: "Come on, folks! All together now!" Crowd: "I said shut it!" Sakura: "Kotaro-san!" Kotaro: "Wow, that didn't hurt!" Crowd: "Enough!" Kotaro: "Encore...!" Crowd: "Quit screwing around! Damn you—" Death Metal Dude A: "Been a while since we got into it!" Death Metal Dude B: "Let's kick some ass!" Crowd: "Bring it on, then!" Saki: "Gimme ten seconds with these clowns..." Sakura: "Saki-chan!" Kotaro: "What do you think you're doing?!" Kotaro: "You're idols, so sing! Be heard!" Kotaro: "Let me hear the first cry as you're reborn!" Sakura: "Kotaro-san..." Kotaro: "Sing!" Sakura: "Let's sing, everyone." Sakura: "Let's sing!" Kotaro: "There goes the kick!" Kotaro: "Music, start!" Death Metal Dudes: "Awesome!" Ai: "That had to be the worst show I've ever been in." Junko: "Could you even really call it a concert?" Saki: "Eh, close enough, right?" Lily: "Not even." Yugiri: "Still, I wouldn't say it's far from what we're known for." Saki: "No doubt." Saki: "Sakura!" Sakura: "S-Sorry! I wasn't listening!" Saki: "Damn it, girl. You wanna die?" Kotaro: "Good morning, everyone!"

Sakura: "Why am I going to be an idol?" Kotaro: "We call it the Zombie Land Saga Project, baby!" Ai: "Revitalizing a prefecture as local idols?" Sakura: "Oh, what do I do now?!" Kotaro: "Doesn't matter if you don't, as long as I do have what it takes!" Sakura: "Is it okay if we... as Franchouchou..." Xu Fu: "It was a crazy scheme in the first place..." Kotaro: "There's a hard deadline on this project!" Ookoba: "There's no doubt about it..." Ookoba: "They're all dead." Saki: "Damn, the article makes us look awesome!" Yugiri: "I suppose it really isn't Franchouchou without all seven of us." Lily: "It talks about how our first album went on sale after the concert, and it became a one-of-a-kind smash hit in the Saga idol scene! It wouldn't have killed them to call it a "magical hit," though!" Sakura: "It's that writer who always covers us." Ai: "He has given criticism sometimes, so we can trust his opinion." Ai: "We should pay attention to what he says." Saki: "Hell, I bet we can rope in a crowd of a thousand next time!" Ai: "Come on, getting cocky like that is exactly how we'll end up making a mistake." Junko: "We don't want to be overconfident. Let's stay sharp and keep working steadily." Saki: "All right, let's stay sharp so we don't screw up, and get that crowd of a thousand!" : "Yeah!" Kotaro: "Exactly how long are you gonna be high off that Arpino show, you giddy zombies?! Zombies don't have the free time or the brains to sit on their laurels! And boom! We're barreling right into a show at the Ekimae Fudosan Stadium... EFS for short!" Sakura: "Ekimae Fudosan...?" Sakura: "Ai-chan?" Lily: "I've never heard of that stadium before." Saki: "Doesn't matter how fancy the name is. We're set to bring in a crowd of a thousand next time!" Ai: "It's not actually going to be called that until February..." Kotaro: "Someone's done their homework." Sakura: "The name is changing?" Saki: "What's it called now, though?" Ai: "The Best Amenity Stadium..." Ai: "The one in Tosu." Sakura: "Ai-chan..." Ai: "I appreciate it, but I'm okay." Ai: "The real issue here is the size." Ai: "I'm pretty sure its seating capacity is..." Kotaro: "Approximately 25,000." Junko: "Twenty-five thousand...?" Lily: "That's fifty times the size of Arpino." Kotaro: "With standing room on the field for even more." Saki: "I'm having trouble picturing this... Is that a number I could beat in a fight?" Sakura: "That's really impressive—" Ai: "There's no way we can pull that off!" Kotaro: "The show is scheduled for March 8th." Ai: "Don't be ridiculous! This isn't Fukuoka! We're in Saga! A stadium in Saga... Iron Frill was able to manage it back then, but—" Kotaro: "Or what?" Kotaro: "Are you going to say that Franchouchou isn't as good now as Iron Frill was ten years ago?" Kotaro: "Each and every one of you is a legend..." Kotaro: "With one exception, you're all legendary." Sakura: "Pretty sure he was looking right at me just now." Kotaro: "I chose and resurrected you all to save Saga! You can accomplish anything! EFS will be filled to capacity with Franchouchou fans! And then, once you've got the crowd on fire, you'll blow them up with the new song as an encore, like boom!" Kotaro: "Franchouchou's legend is going to keep blowing up like a cluster bomb!" Saki: "Look, even I can tell that Shades is being a bigger dumbass than ever before. Can we seriously pull this off?" Ai: "Normally? I'd say it's 100% impossible." Junko: "It's just too unrealistic..." Saki: "But y'know..." Ai: "I know it's a little too late for us to start thinking about what's normal or realistic." Lily: "Sure is." Sakura: "If Kotaro-san is serious about this... Maybe he has some kind of reason behind it?" Lily: "You think Tatsumi actually has a plan?" Sakura: "Let's... try it." Ai: "Do you realize what taking this on means?" Sakura: "I dunno if we can manage it, but... If there's a place where we can all sing and dance together, I'm willing to try it. I want to go on stage with you all as many times as I can!" Saki: "You're on." Lily: "There was a lot of trouble at Arpino, too, and we managed to get through that!" Yugiri: "If you think about it, there's never been a time when we weren't doing something crazy." Saki: "Hell, we're already zombies. And that means there's no sense in chickening out." Junko: "I'm honestly a little shaken at how listening to you all makes me believe we can accomplish this..." Ai: "I'm surrounded by a bunch of crazy optimists." Ai: "If we're going to do this, we need our performance to be even better than Arpino." Junko: "Anything less than our full effort is bound to be a failure." Sakura: "Ai-chan, I hope you really put us through our paces!" Ai: "Obviously I will. This is where we address everything I've been letting you guys slide on so far..." Sakura: "Yeah!" Ai: "That goes double for you, Sakura." Sakura: "But could you still be gentle, please...?" Ai: "Don't get soft now!" Saki: "Something still bugging you?" Ai: "Of course there is. Despite how it turned out, I did technically die there." Saki: "Don't sweat it. It's not like you can die twice." Ai: "I'm not sure you'd understand, considering you jumped off the same cliff twice." Saki: "You remember what you said back at the park?" Ai: "I don't care if I'm a zombie. I will get up on stage again, and then..." Saki: "Let's make it happen. If anything happens, I'll clean it up. I might be the boss now, but at heart, I'm still the gal who leads the attack. In idol group terms, you're the leader, okay?" Saki: "Okay, that's scary!" Junko: "I didn't see either of you, so I thought I'd check..." Ai: "I-It's nothing special, I just..." Junko: "It'll be all right." Junko: "I'll be there to back you up, too." Junko: "I feel bad about eavesdropping, but..." Saki: "Hell yeah! Why don't we have a rally to get set for the show?!" Ai: "Seriously, we're not bikers!" Kotaro: "Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah." Kotaro: "Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah... No, that's not it." Ai: "There's no way we can pull that off!" Kotaro: "Yeah, yeah, woo— No, not right." Saki: "Damn, that's huge." Junko: "Excuse me..." Junko: "I was too anxious to ask before, but... how many tickets were presold?" Kotaro: "I didn't have any made." Junko: "What are you...?!" Kotaro: "We're only selling tickets on the day of the show." Ai: "Why would you do that?!" Kotaro: "With this concert, we need to make it clear to the entire world that Franchouchou has risen in Saga. Which means it needs to be legendary, in as many aspects as possible. Ordinary methods won't cut it." Kotaro: "Remember everything you've accomplished so far... Believe in Franchouchou, and believe in me!" Lily: "The entire crowd... fits inside the penalty area." Saki: "Uh, hey there, thanks for coming... today.... We're... Franchouchou." Metal Dude 1: "Should we still call for an encore?" Metal Dude 2: "That'd just be too cruel." Kotaro: "Is this hell?" Kotaro: "I'm hooome!" Kotaro: "Hey, look, it's Franzhouzhou... Franslshslsh..." Sakura: "Kotaro-san, you never came back. We were worried about you—" Kotaro: "Kotaro-san, reporting for duty!" Sakura: "Were you out drinking all night?" Kotaro: "Yes, I was! Cuz we're 20 million in debt, y'know! S'pretty wild, right? Twenty million! In debt!" Sakura: "We're in debt? For 20 million yen?!" Saki: "For real?" Ai: "I think so." Junko: "It's only natural, considering the scope of the concert and how badly it failed." Kotaro: "What's with all the serious faces?! Franchouchou is done! Saga's done, too! It's all over!" Kotaro: "Game over!" Saki: "Shades has been drunk off his ass for two weeks now." Yugiri: "It's been seven days since we ran out of food, too." Sakura: "W-We don't need to eat, though! Since we're zombies! Kotaro-san might be coming up with a new plan right now! I mean, he's done it before—" Saki: "That ass never had a plan in the first place! That's how this crap even happened!" Ai: "Don't take it out on Sakura! You're not the only one who's irritated." Saki: "What should I do, then?!" Sakura: "C-Come on, you two! Don't fight! It's times like this when we really need to work together! We'll figure something out!" Junko: "You say we should work together, but without any help, we can't do our makeup or even go shopping. And this entire time, that debt is only going to grow larger... This situation is going to need something more than positivity!" Sakura: "Tae-chan?" Saki: "Girl... what happened to your face?" Saki: "She got it on her own?!" Sakura: "Yeah, I think so." Lily: "After finding Tatsumi's money?" Yugiri: "And doing her own cosmetics?" Ai: "That's crazy..." Sakura: "We were wrong all along." Sakura: "We can do it if we try, just like Tae-chan!" Sakura: "But we weren't even trying!" Junko: ""As zombies, we can't do anything without Tatsumi-san." We just assumed that was true and gave up." Sakura: "Yeah. At some point we started to take Kotaro-san's help for granted." Ai: "You're right. That's kind of what happened at the EFS show, too. We assumed he'd figure something out as long as we tried our hardest." Sakura: "And that was wrong!" Saki: "I guess if we've got the makeup, we might as well use it." Lily: "How are we gonna pay back the debt, then?" Sakura: "Let's get jobs! If we can't do idol stuff right now, let's think of ways to make money until we can!" Lily: "Will I be able to help, too?" Yugiri: "Of course." Junko: "We should do it." Saki: "We always pull it off when we're cornered, anyway." Sakura: "From now on, we'll do the thinking ourselves. We won't let what's happened before limit us! We'll move forward!" Ai: "That's right... In the end, I still haven't..." Sakura: "Ai-chan?" Ai: "Let's do it!" Ai: "If we can't, we're just regular zombies." Sakura: "Yeah! We'll figure this out and get our revenge!" shermen: "Well, he sure is dead. What's the rest? Is it all squid? Never seen anything like it..." shermen: "He's alive?!" shermen: "Mister, are you okay?" Kotaro: "No problems here. Just got a little swept away by the tide." Inubashiri: "And apparently that's what happened! Is that wild or what?!" Inubashiri: "The squid man! Let's check it out!" Ookoba: "I'll let you handle it." Inubashiri: "Seriously? Is this story of yours that big a deal, Ookoba-san?" Ookoba: "I bet even the Tokyo pubs are gonna want a piece of it..." Coworker: "Inubashiri!" Inubashiri: "Oh, right! Well, I'll look forward to it while I'm on the trail of the Squid Man!" Kotaro: "G'morning." Sakura: "What happened to you?" Kotaro: "Not important." Saki: "C'mon, say some—" Kotaro: "March 8th of last year... Insisting on the EFS show was a complete failure on my behalf." Kotaro: "I'm sorry." Kotaro: "And in order to make up for that..." Kotaro: "Next month, on March 8th, you'll be performing your revenge concert at EFS." Kotaro: "You'll be performing your revenge concert at EFS." Ai: "Hold—" Kotaro: "That said! This time, I'm not booking it based purely on momentum and self-satisfaction." Kotaro: "Franchouchou has done a fantastic job of reviving in the past year. Your album and merchandise sales have been growing like the rice in the fields of Hamanoura and Warabino." Kotaro: "And, more importantly, you have all grown a lot." Kotaro: "Even then, EFS will prove to be a challenge." Kotaro: "I'm working on a variety of advertising projects that will lead into the EFS show." Kotaro: "I'm going to put everything I have into doing everything I possibly can. And, to make Franchouchou into an even bigger legend, we'll incorporate that past failure into our success story." Ai: "That's why you want to do it on March 8th..." Kotaro: "Listen to me! The battle we're about to embark on will be remembered in the history of Saga as one of the most notable things to ever happen! Even if Saga itself is forced to suffer a cruel fate where it's swallowed into the darkness of despair, the seven of you will remain a shining light amidst that darkness!" Kotaro: "I chose and resurrected you zombies to save Saga! When you complete your revenge, it will signal the beginning of Saga's counterattack!" Kotaro: "Achoo." Saki: "What's with the sneeze?!" Kotaro: "It's not a problem." Lily: "I thought it was cute." Saki: "You killed the moment, dude..." Ookoba: "Kotaro Tatsumi-san, right?" Ookoba: "The name's Arata Ookoba. I'm part of Sagazine's editorial staff." Kotaro: "I always read your articles." Ookoba: "That show last year was quite a shame... But lately it seems your girls have really been outdoing themselves." Ookoba: "I assume you're here to keep past mistakes in mind?" Kotaro: "Group policy is that I don't do personal—" Ookoba: "You do this job for long enough and you make all kinds of acquaintances all over. That said, it took me a while to connect the dots this time." Ookoba: "Sakura Minamoto-san... Saki Nikaido-san..." Ookoba: "Ai Mizuno-san... Junko Konno-san... Lily Hoshikawa aka Masao Go-san... And Tae Yamada-san." Ookoba: "They've all passed away." Ookoba: "Sadly, I wasn't able to dig anything up on Number Five." Ookoba: "You have to tell me..." Ookoba: "Just what are these girls?" Ookoba: "I have pictures like this, too." Ookoba: "I can have the graves dug up, you know." Kotaro: "Why would you write about this?" Ookoba: "To put a stop to you trying to profit off these dead girls by making them into idols... Would you accept that as a reason?" Ookoba: "You can keep quiet, but once the article gets published, the truth will be out there." Ookoba: "I've gotta wonder what the public will think..." Kotaro: "Franchouchou will be performing a concert here next month." Kotaro: "A revenge concert." Ookoba: "Are you insane? What would be the point of re-enacting that disaster? You need to stop turning the dead into entertainment!" Kotaro: "No matter what article you write, there's no stopping Franchouchou." Ookoba: "I'm not letting this revenge show happen!" Staff: "You okay down there?" Xu Fu: "Sounds like this isn't going to work out like it did with the high school girl. Though, I'm kind of surprised no one caught on sooner. There's more in your way than just this reporter, too. You might be lucky if all that happens next time is a few scratches and your clothes getting stolen..." Kotaro: "I don't care what gets in the way. I'm going to make this EFS show a success. I'm not making the same mistake again." Xu Fu: "To think that the gloomy, half-crazed kid I met 12 years ago could pull all this off..." Kotaro: "Do you think anyone who wasn't gloomy and half-crazed would ever have believed you? That you're fighting a curse that's been at work in this land for thousands of years... That you're immortal...." Kotaro: "And that you can revive the dead?" Xu Fu: "You got what you wanted, though." Kotaro: "Not yet." Kotaro: "I still have to prevent your prophecy." Xu Fu: "With the beginning of the Reiwa era, Saga will face a cataclysmic threat... A cataclysm wherein no one will think of Saga anymore, and it will even vanish from their memories." Xu Fu: "Things are already looking bad enough with the shrinking population..." Kotaro: "In that case, I just need to create something people will never forget, here in Saga." Xu Fu: "Taking girls who were killed by the curse, who would have brought glory to Saga... Gathering them together and making them into an idol group. I'll admit it's a hell of an idea. This Mount Mifuneyama Rakuen Project of yours..." Kotaro: "It's the Zombie Land Saga Project." Xu Fu: "Right, that." Xu Fu: "The world of man will always be shaped by the actions of men..." Kotaro: "You're wrong there." Kotaro: "It will be shaped by men and zombies." Radio: "Overnight and into tomorrow morning, there's a severe rain warning for Kyushu." Radio: "Coastal areas and rivers are under a flood warning..." Junko: "That's a lot of rain..." Sakura: "I wonder if Kotaro-san's okay." Saki: "He'll be fine." Sakura: "I hope so..." Saki: "Maybe we can hit him up with the waterproof spray this time!" Saki: "Our final revenge is getting started tomorrow. Make sure to get lots of rest." Sakura: "Yeah." Ookoba: "There we go. I have to admit, this is a hell of a thing to write..." Kotaro: "They'll be performing a concert here at EFS next month." Ookoba: "Can't believe he'd put the dead on display like that. Just you wait..." Ookoba: "Are you serious?! This can't be happening!" Xu Fu: "Oh, hell, here it comes..."

Sakura: "What's... going on?" Sakura: "So shaky..." Sakura: "But I've felt fine ever since becoming a zombie..." Sakura: "Something's happening to my body!" Sakura: "I have to tell... Kotaro-san..." Sakura: "So, it looks like we're adrift." Yugiri: "Well, that's surprising." Ai: "Where are we even headed?! Will we be able to make it back?" Saki: "Chill out! Even if we sink, we won't die! Probably." Lily: "Maybe we'll get to a deserted island. Then we can go on an adventure!" Saki: "Zombie survival, huh? Good thinking, shrimpy!" Sakura: "For now, let's do our makeup so we'll be ready for anything that happens." Ookoba: "What a mess..." Ookoba: "Damn it! There's no way to know what's going on." Xu Fu: "This is just like the depopulation. The curse that would strike Saga when Reiwa begins." Xu Fu: "The fact that we weren't able to settle things a year ago, when it was still Heisei... Has been just as bad as I figured it would." Kotaro: "We need to get out of here! No, no, no, no, no, no, no—" Lily: "This isn't a deserted island. It's Saga." Sakura: "Pretty close to where we started out, too." Saki: "Damn, I know there's not exactly a ton of people, but..." Yugiri: "What's in that case there, Junko-han?" Junko: "The tools for making Ozaki dolls. I wanted to make sure they didn't get wet, so..." Yugiri: "Always the hard worker." Ai: "What is it?" Lily: "It's so old and crummy, it's gonna collapse!" Saki: "Oh, man! We've gotta get all our crap out of there!" Lily: "Our house is gone." Sakura: "All our costumes... and Kotaro-san's instruments..." Ai: "And our makeup!" Sakura: "What do we do?!" Junko: "I'm sorry! I should have brought that instead!" Yugiri: "Well, things have taken a turn for the troublesome." Lily: "So much crazy stuff has happened, I can't get worked up about it anymore." Junko: "I have to agree." Ai: "I understand how you feel, but... what're we gonna do now?" Machiko: "Sanko-chan?" Ai: "Machiko-san!" Machiko: "What're you gals doing out here?" Lily: "Who's that?" Ai: "We work together at the factory." Ai: "It, uh, looks like our house got swept away..." Machiko: "That rubble is what's left of your house? Oh, gosh, what a mess! And when you were all living together... You should all come on down to Kation, then. It's been turned into a shelter." Saki: "Damn, dude..." Junko: "The damage must be even worse than we thought." Machiko: "The actual shelter was too much of a mess to use, so here we are. This whole thing's a disaster." Machiko: "And we all know it's times like this that you have to put on a strong face, but... You know how it is." Sakura: "I wonder where Kotaro-san is." Machiko: "Sorry to stick you all up here, but there's no other space." Ai: "Oh, no apologies necessary! It's a huge relief." Ai: "You even had tarp to spare. We're really grateful." Lily: "Thank you so much! Well, with how popular you are, it might work out better this way. There's cardboard you can lay out to sit on and blankets downstairs, so come and pick those up later." Lily: "Now, what are your friends' names?" Ai: "Well, that's Ichiko." Saki: "Niko, here! And that's Yonko, Itsuko, and Mutsuko!" Machiko: "Well, that'll be easy to remember! I'm Machiko!" Ai: "Wait... where's Tae— Err, Zeroko?!" Sakura: "Huh?! She's gone!" Lady: "Here you go." Sakura: "Zeroko! You shouldn't eat that!" Ai: "We're so sorry..." Machiko: "Oh, it's totally fine! You girls have been through a lot, too. She must've been hungry! Eat on up." Machiko: "Oh, my, aren't you a hungry little dear!" Sakura: "I-Is there anything we can help with?" Lady: "Oh, we could definitely use a hand!" Machiko: "Everybody from the factory knows how hard a worker you are, Sanko-chan... But I guess that goes for all of you! Make sure to get rest when you can. The rest of us will be in trouble without your help!" Sakura: "Oh, you don't have to worry about us! Because we're zombies—" Sakura: "We're busy like some bees!" Kids: "I wanna go home! Come on! Come on, please! Hey! Hey! I wanna go home!" Lily: "One, two, three, four!" Inubashiri: "Ookoba-san!" Inubashiri: "I've got a broad idea of what's going on..." Ookoba: "Is it the whole prefecture?" Inubashiri: "Yeah. All of Saga and parts of the neighboring prefectures have lost power. A bunch of towers have been knocked over, which means the internet and cell phones are down." Ookoba: "Damn it, this is why I said we should get a satellite phone for the office!" Inubashiri: "The roads are all a mess, too. Sounds like everyone from the worst-hit areas is staying in shelters." Inubashiri: "So, should we split up again?" ews: "I'm coming to you from the Kation location in Karatsu that has been converted into a shelter." ews: "I'm with NBK Fukuoka. How are things going around here?" Hat: "I mean, it's pretty crazy with everyone having to stay here! It's gotta be, right?! This is the biggest shelter in the area, so it's like all of Saga's here! Not really, though! Feels pretty weird, sleeping where you used to shop!" Lady: "Oh, I'd definitely say I miss my house. But everyone's trying their best to stay upbeat. If it weren't for that, I'd have hit my limit already." Lady: "I'm sure of it. So, I'm really grateful." Dad: "W-Well, we're really concerned about the kids and the elderly! And there's no telling how long it'll last... We've got a few kids ourselves! The youngest is two and she really takes after her mom! But, y'know, those girls are always around to play with them... Oh, that's them over there." Ookoba: "Franchouchou?!" Kids: "Number Six's star is so cute!" Lily: "Isn't it?" Kids: "I wonder what song it's gonna be? Me, too!" Saki: "All right, kiddos, I see this is just about everybody!" Sakura: "No pushing, okay?" Saki: "All right, we're gonna sing for you guys a bit today, so check it out!" Sakura: "One, two, three, four!" ews: "Have you been performing every day?" Sakura: "Y-Yes! During the day we help out with whatever needs to be done, and at night we sing and dance a little." ews: "I saw a lot of smiles. They seemed to really enjoy it." Sakura: "W-We're just t-trying to do what we can!" ews: "Number Two, you're the group's leader." ews: "Can you tell us how you ended up helping like this?" Saki: "Yeah! We're just doing what we gotta do!" Ai: "Come on, that's not much of an answer!" Ookoba: "You brought these girls back to life, without their permission... I'm going to put a stop to you trying to profit off these dead girls by making them into idols..." Saki: "W-Well, it's like... we gotta do what we gotta do!" Xu Fu: "Still alive..." Kotaro: "I'm... not dying..." Dirty Harry: "Hey, anyone down here? Nobody down here? Aw, damn it, my pants are soaked through..." Kotaro: "(Hey! We're in here!) (We're in here!)" Dirty Harry: "Wait, you in there? Can you try and show me where?" Kotaro: "(We're right over here!)" Dirty Harry: "Holy crap, there you are! Hang on a sec!" Kotaro: "Please, look after him." Dirty Harry: "Sure. What about you?" Kotaro: "I have somewhere I need to go." Dirty Harry: "Whoa, wait! I actually have a lot of questions—" Xu Fu: "I'd tell you not to do anything stupid... but you're not gonna listen." Kotaro: "You're not going to die." Kotaro: "Franchouchou will save Saga." Sakura: "Let's all do our best again today!" : "Yeah!" Sakura: "Huh?" Kids: "Hey, what do you think Franchouchou's gonna sing today?" Parents: "Good question." Saki: "This is rough." Saki: "It was starting to flake off during work... Woulda been real bad news without the mask." Lily: "Romero! Shhh!" Ai: "I asked Machiko-san for some makeup, but..." Ai: "I knew it. It needs to be our special makeup, or it won't stay on." Yugiri: "I get the feeling the remaining patches will come off while we're singing." Junko: "Masks won't be much help at that point." Lily: "But everyone's looking forward to it..." Ookoba: "This is what they really look like?" Sakura: "But... I don't want to just give up." Saki: "Right on." Lily: "Me neither." Yugiri: "We should keep going if we can find a way." Junko: "I think so, too." Ai: "I feel the same way. But... without a way to actually do it..." Yugiri: "Masks to hide our faces would work, but..." Lily: "Hey, there are toy stores in the mall, right? Maybe they have masks!" Ai: "That's a good idea. But... the stores are all closed." Saki: "Maybe we should break in!" Junko: "That would be more like typical zombie behavior." Saki: "Damn it, what're we gonna do?!" Lily: "For now, let's get some distance from the destructive ideas." Junko: "The paint for the Ozaki dolls..." Junko: "That's it! If we don't have masks, we can make them!" Ookoba: "What're they trying to do?" Saki: "Good evening! We're Franchouchou! We're gonna give it our all to sing for you tonight! So we're counting on you to cheer for us!" Sakura: "Is this... not working?" Ookoba: "Do these girls think about the risks at all?" Kids: "It's like these!" Sakura: "That's right!" Saki: "They get it!" Sakura: "We're clear!" Saki: "Nice. I think we're good, right? It's a better reception than I figured we'd get." Junko: "I'm a little worried about the bake quality..." Ai: "Let's take this as far as we can." Lily: "Go, go!" Yugiri: "It's just our style." Sakura: "Ready and... We're Franchouchou!" Saki: "Crap! Crapcrapcrap!" Ai: "I think the openings for the eyes made them less durable..." Junko: "They weren't baked thoroughly enough!" Yugiri: "That's not really the issue." Lily: "They got a good look at us!" Sakura: "What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?!" Ookoba: "They've done it now!" Saki: "If it's come to this... We don't have any other options. Right?" Saki: "Uh... listen... We're sorry for hiding it all along." Saki: "We're..." Kids: "Did you get hurt?" Saki: "Nah, it's not that... We're zombies." Kids: "Nuh-uh! Zombies are scary. Yeah! They're bitey! And dangerous! You're not scary, so you're not zombies! You're... Yeah, that's right!" Kids: "You're Franchouchou!" Kids: "Yeah, Franchouchou!" Kids: "And cute!" Kids: "Franchouchou! Franchouchou! Franchouchou! Franchouchou! Franchouchou!" Ai: "Aw, you figured it out!" Ai: "And here we went and got this zombie makeup to try to scare you!" Kids: "Oh! That's funny!" Ai: "Okay, kids, we hope you have fun again today!" Kids: "Yeah!" Saki: "All right, everybody! We're ready to rock this mall again today, so check it out!" Kids: "Yeah!" Ookoba: "It's not that they didn't consider the risk... These girls are risking more than I can imagine, every time they get on stage." Ookoba: "But... they care more about..." Ookoba: "conveying how they feel." Kotaro: "Ookoba-san..." Kotaro: "I'd like to ask for your help." Kotaro: "What is it?" Sakura: "I just... realized I never actually told you this." Sakura: "All this time, you've never given up... Well, except for that one time." Sakura: "But even so, we only made it this far because you were here to pull us along." Sakura: "And now, just like I was moved after seeing Ai-chan... I met a girl like Maimai-chan, who felt the same way after seeing me." Sakura: "And it's just... I mean, everything's been a mess since that rainstorm, but... Performing here at the shelter..." Sakura: "It's like I've found the real reason to sing with the others, since becoming a zombie..." Sakura: "That's what it feels like." Sakura: "So, I just... Kotaro-san..." Sakura: "Thank you for making me an idol!" Sakura: "Thank you, Inui-kun!" Kotaro: "I..." Kotaro: "I..." Sakura: "Kotaro-san?" Kotaro: "I told you, I've got it!" Kotaro: "Listen to me, Sakura!" Kotaro: "I was lying when I said you didn't have it, before!" Kotaro: "And as long as Franchouchou exists, I'm going to be someone who has it!" Kotaro: "And the truth is, Sakura, your dream doesn't end with EFS!" Kotaro: "Your..." Kotaro: "The dream of your entire group! Is to become eternal idols loved around the globe! And until that comes true, Sakura, I..." Kotaro: "I will..." Kotaro: "I'm..." Kotaro: "I'm going to have it, eternally."

Governor: "How long does it look like it'll take for the entire prefecture?" Staff: "There's still no real way to tell... Since transportation is so limited, it puts a damper on repairs." Governor: "Where are we at in terms of estimating the damage?" Staff: "The areas that have reestablished communications have been reporting their casualties and evacuation status, along with damage to residential areas and transport infrastructure." Governor: "We need an accurate assessment as quickly as possible." Itou 2: "There's been flooding throughout the prefecture, but it looks like it's been most severe in the north and the Sajiro and Sanshin areas. The water itself is gradually starting to recede, but... It's still too early to make any real estimations." Governor: "Watch for any additional problems the initial damage might cause." Itou 2: "I'll coordinate with the JSDF, fire services, and the Social Welfare Council to try to deal with things as they develop." Governor: "Please do." Kotaro: "Governor! I need to speak with you! Please!" Kotaro: "You have to put a rush on getting the infrastructure around the Tosu area back up! Isn't Tosu a critical intersection for land-based transport in Kyushu?!" Itou 2: "We should move you to a different room to be safe." Itou 2: "We're fully aware of that. This isn't the kind of thing we need a civilian perspective on." Kotaro: "I'm asking you to do this for the sake of Saga's future!" Itou 2: "Get him out of here, now." Kotaro: "Please, let Franchouchou perform!" Itou 2: "Governor?" Kotaro: "I swear, this concert will help Saga!" Kotaro: "It's for the sake of Saga! Saga will be revived! You have to fix the Tosu area so people can make it to the Franchouchou show! I'm begging you!" Itou 2: "Okay, that's enough from—" Kotaro: "I'm not talking to you!" Kotaro: "What Saga needs right now is reassurance, for the heart of every single resident." Kotaro: "We need something to unify us so we can all tackle this disaster together..." Kotaro: "Franchouchou can do that." Kotaro: "Governor, please. Make the call." Kotaro: "This is Tatsumi." Ookoba: "It's Ookoba. I guess I finally got through..." Kotaro: "How have things gone on your end?" Ookoba: "Is that seriously the first thing you're gonna ask? Do you realize the hoops I had to jump through to score a chopper ride up here? It's gonna be rough... Yeah, a charity concert sounds nice and all, but when there are no guarantees that the show will actually come together, it's not easy to convince people to get on board." Kotaro: "I believe you have what it takes." Ookoba: "Don't be so sure! I haven't run in this neck of the woods in a decade." Kotaro: "I know you can do it." Ookoba: "For the record, you haven't exactly earned my trust yet." Ookoba: "I just... I intend to do what I can" Ookoba: "and let god sort out the rest." Kotaro: "I'm not leaving a damn thing up to god." Kotaro: "Not after all this time." Ookoba: "I guess not..." Junko: "There's only a week until the concert." Sakura: "Yeah! I'm starting to get butterflies in my stomach!" Ai: "It's a good kind of tension, though. We've all been really focused these last few days. Maybe more than ever before." Junko: "I noticed that, as well!" Sakura: "Me, too! I wonder why?" Saki: "My Tamagotchi, too! Oyajitchi and Memetchi got mixed into a Memeoyajitchi!" Ai: "Is that... really relevant?" Saki: "I'm tryin' to say we're on a roll!" Yugiri: "I wonder if he's watching us now..." Lily: "Who's that?" Yugiri: "Someone I knew a long time ago." Lily: "I bet he's rooting for us! Just like Mommy." Yugiri: "Yes." Sakura: "Now we've just got to put on a good performance to cheer Saga up on the day!" Junko: "I hope people will be able to make it." Saki: "Damn it, if it weren't for this whole mess, we'd be passing out fliers and talking up the show on the radio..." Saki: "Huh. What day is it today?" Sakura: "The day? Uh..." Junko: "Come to think of it, we've been paying more attention to the dates than what day it is." Sakura: "I think it's Friday, maybe?" Saki: "Dude! That's the day we're on air!" Saki: "Crap, crap, crap, I've gotta get ready fast!" Sakura: "But with everything going on..." Saki: "That's why I wanna do it! 'Sides, we already missed a session!" Ai: "No one can blame you for that. It was a literal disaster situation." Sakura: "Are you seriously gonna go?" Saki: "Damn right. If we don't go, then Saga's gonna lose itself." Producer: "Oh, you've got the wrong day." Producer: "It's actually Sunday." Sakura: "Our... Our mistake..." Saki: "Girl... I'm gonna kill you..." Producer: "Man, all seven of you are here, huh?" Producer: "This actually works out! Since you're here, why don't you go on the air?" Ai: "Is that okay?" Producer: "Yeah! We're all set to broadcast, but none of our regular personalities can make it in... So we've been wondering what we could do other than just read the news. Honestly, there's no way to know how many people are even listening, but..." Ai: "We don't mind!" Sakura: "Thank you so much!" Saki: "Thanks!" Radio: "We'll continue to bring you updates on the affected areas going forward." Radio: "If you have any new information, feel free to contact us, as well." Radio: "Now, we actually have some wonderful guests in the studio today." : "Good evening! We're Franchouchou!" Maimai: "Hey, Maimai's Franchouchou sense is tingling. That's what I'd expect from a mega-fan and former member." Saki: "Well, to all the folks in Saga..." Saki: "Everybody, I think it's pretty rough out there for you all right now. And... I dunno how you're hearing me right now, but I bet you've all got your worries, or might be feeling lonely..." Saki: "Hell, you might just be pissed off about everything that's happened." Saki: "But... I dunno how to put this... Right now, a lot of people are doing everything they can, in all sorts of different ways, to help." Saki: "It was the same way for the shelter we stayed at." Saki: "And that's how you sorta get involved... and connect to people, I guess. I dunno if I'm getting my point across," Saki: "but I think that kinda thing is a really big deal." Saki: "So, all of us in Franchouchou have thought about what we can do to help..." Saki: "All seven of us have talked this over, and..." Saki: "In the end, we wanna connect to you all by singing and dancing. We want to cheer you on!" Saki: "That's why Franchouchou is going to be putting on a concert." Saki: "March 8th. At the Ekimae Fudosan Stadium!" Saki: "A year ago, we seriously blew it at that same venue." Saki: "We drew a tiny crowd... panicked... It was a real mess." Saki: "And, just like last time..." Saki: "Nah, I think it's gonna be even harder to pull off than last time." Saki: "But... all the same, we're going to put on the best show ever!" Saki: "I know there are people who are gonna think that's crazy, with everything going on... But if we... If by singing, we can..." Saki: "I dunno if we'll really be able to help people feel better, but..." Saki: "We're gonna be on stage, hoping we can make you smile, even just a little!" Saki: "Because that's what being idols means to us!" Ai: "Do you all have your things?" : "Yes!" Ai: "We don't know how things will be out there, so let's be careful on the road." Saki: "Hell, we're zombies. We'll be fine." Sakura: "That's true! We are zombies." Ai: "Let's get going, then." Kotaro: "On March 8th, sixteen days from now, you'll need to assemble at EFS at 10 a.m." Saki: "Damn it, Shades! Did you get the date wrong?" Saki: "I guess we weren't sure what day it was for a while there, too." Sakura: "I'm not gonna give up." Sakura: "No matter what." Sakura: "I don't care how bad it gets... Even if we try our very hardest and it still goes badly, I'm gonna keep trying." Sakura: "Even if god tries to stop us! Or the devil!" Sakura: "Until we outlast everything that tries to get in the way... I'm gonna keep at our revenge!" Metal Dudes: "Hey!" Saki: "Those dudes are seriously awesome!" Yugiri: "I'm curious how they made it all the way out here." Maimai: "Ei-yah!" Crowd: "—chouchou!" Maimai: "Ei-yah!" Crowd: "—chouchou!" Maimai: "Ei-yah!" Crowd: "—chouchou!" ewcaster: "Would you look at that? I'm coming to you from the Ekimae Fudosan Stadium in Saga, where the damage caused by flooding is still visible." ewcaster: "A massive crowd is gathering for a charity concert by the idol group Franchouchou! We at NBK Fukuoka caught up with them at a shelter a week ago, and the response from our viewers was massive! Not only that, but newspapers with circulation throughout the country have been publishing ads for the show, raising the event's profile even higher." ewscaster: "Social media has also been abuzz with talk of the concert after posts from Shiori Baba-san from Iron Frill, one of Japan's biggest idol groups," ewscaster: "as well as the actor Light Oozora-san." ewscaster: "It looks like the arena still isn't ready for the show just yet. In spite of that, you can see how many have assembled here today to support Saga! With the notoriety brought from national exposure in five big papers, businesses from all over the country, starting with Saga's own Hisanaka Pharmaceuticals, have volunteered to help sponsor the event." ewscaster: "And it's not just Japan, either! People from a variety of countries are offering aid after hearing about the disaster in Kyushu!" Whiter: "Like I told you... The answer can be found in Saga!" ews: "We are seeing the world come together for Saga... no, Japan, in a way rarely seen throughout history!" ews: "You might even call it an epic... saga!" Kotaro: "Thank you so much." Itou 2: "Just so we're clear here... All we've done is choose to prioritize the most effective strategy, after logical consideration." Governor: "Tatsumi-kun." Governor: "Saga's not giving up." Sakura: "Saga! Revenge!" Crowd: "Fran... Franchouchou!" Crowd: "Franchouchou!" Maria: "Number Zero!" Crowd: "Encore! Encore! Encore!" Kotaro: "You've done an amazing job in a dire situation. But... still, though! Don't get the wrong idea! You still—" Ai: "It's still too early to consider ourselves winners." Junko: "Even this EFS show is nothing more than a milestone." Yugiri: "There's still a great deal more for us to do, right?" Lily: "And I know we can shine even brighter!" Saki: "After all, Franchouchou is eternal and unstoppable, right?" Sakura: "We're the idol zombies who will always keep fighting, no matter when, no matter where!" Sakura: "Kotaro-san?" Ai: "What? Why are you apologizing?" Junko: "He's convulsing! Should we call an ambulance?" Saki: "Wait, maybe he's doing that mudskipper—" Kotaro: "I'm crying, okay?!" Kotaro: "I'm crying!" Kotaro: "I'm a grown-ass man and I'm crying!" Kotaro: "What's with you, huh?! Where do a bunch of wimpy zombies get off trying to sound so confident?!" Kotaro: "You think those half-rotten throats should be spouting nonsense at me?!" Kotaro: "Just so you know, Saga's barely even a little saved!" Kotaro: "Got it?! So go and hit the crowd with your soul! Go, go, go, go, go!"

Sakura: "Last time on Zombie Land Saga Revenge, we did a show at the EFS, but it bombed, and we were in big trouble! We were working part-time jobs while waiting for Kotaro-san and his new long hair, but he never showed up and I'd finally had enough! We decided to put on a show to relaunch the group after the EFS disaster, and hairy Kotaro-san showed up just to get his butt kicked! Seeing that helped us get back in the groove and we managed to pull the show off! Our revenge really begins now! These seven lives that ended in Saga have been reborn with zombie bodies! Even if they say it can't be done, we'll sing and dance!" Ai: "What is it, Sakura?" Sakura: "I just got kinda nervous once I realized we're going to be active idols again..." Ai: "That's okay. Getting used to things is important, but you still need to have a bit of tension." Lily: "What exactly is Saki-chan doing there?" Saki: "You gotta have power to sing and dance too, right? And we're trying to take over the whole damn country." Sakura: "You really think exercising is gonna matter for zombies...?" Saki: "Of course it does! Think about how good Saganship worked. A little bit of work and I'm gonna be ripped." Sakura: "Down I go..." Junko: "Saki-san has a real talent for pulling people along." Ai: "Something about her passion is infectious." Intro: "Even if we have nothing else, we still have the future. A lowest point? Starting over from zero? That's just part of the saga." Intro: "Even if we burn out in the process, we'll make it come true! This is where our revenge begins!" Kotaro: "Good morning. There's been an incident. As all of Japan celebrates the start of the Reiwa era, a tiny portion of Saga is celebrating news of the return of Franchouchou. Let's get some comments. Miss Four, do you have any thoughts to share about getting back to work?" Junko: "I-I think it'll be important to make up for the month we took off..." Kotaro: "Miss Three, what kind of activities are you considering to make up for the lost time?" Ai: "We'll still need to do our usual jobs, but also try new ones, right?" Kotaro: "Miss One, what would be an example of these new jobs?" Sakura: "I-I dunno! Maybe acting?" Sakura: "Or going on... Going on stage and doing comedy skits?" Kotaro: "The answer is going on TV! Right now, you need to play up your return to a wide audience and do it with as big an impact as possible! Bottom line is, nothing is gonna compare to TV for that kinda thing! You knucklehead zombie!" Saki: "Give it a rest! This whole damn mess is is your fault, anyway!" Kotaro: "That was a violation of zombie conduct standards, I'll have you know..." Ai: "Don't you have something you need to explain to us?" Kotaro: "Oh, this is so terrifying! It's zombie harassment! I'll sue! It's an abuse of zombie power dynamics! So, if you want to avoid civil court, you'd better pull off this big job that the great Kotaro Tatsumi landed for you all! Ta-da!" Kotaro: "You're all going to be doing a segment on the tourism hotspot, Yutoku Inari Shrine!" Lily: "We all get to be on TV?" Yugiri: "Your Pappy might even get to see you." Kotaro: "And this isn't just any segment..." Kotaro: "There's going to be an additional guest." Kotaro: "The White Ryu is going to be there, too!" Sakura: "White... who?" Kotaro: "White Ryu! In addition to his music career, he was also the host of a late-night radio program that started in 1992, So Saga Can Be Saga, which was popular all over the country. He's a Saga-bred legendary rock star!" Ryu: "The answers you're looking for can all be found in Saga!" Saki: "You're talking about the Ryu-san!" Kotaro: "Indeed. It's been thirty years since he made his debut, but he continues to broadcast his message to the youth from Saga!" Saki: "He's so damn awesome!" Sakura: "I didn't know we had a celebrity like that in Saga." Saki: "You wanna die?" Kotaro: "Listen up, people! Get out there, show people you're back, and schmooze with a real Saga legend!" Saki: "When?! When's this happening?!" Both: "Right now!" Pa: "If you take a stroll through the shopping district, you'll get a nice view of the shrine." Pa: "We'll have some nice cue cards for you, so we're counting on you for a nice job." Sakura: "I-It's a pleasure to work with you!" Saki: "Huh... He looks different..." Saga: "Sorry about the holdup." Saga: "The wind blowing down from Kyogatake gave me pause." Saki: "It's really him! No doubt about it!" Lily: "Lame." Sakura: "H-Hello, everyone! This is Franchouchou, and we're back on the scene again. Today, we're here at Yutoku Inari Shrine with White Ryu-san! Um, do you visit places like this often?" Ryu: "If you're asking me, the answer's yes." Ryu: "But if you're asking the winds of Saga... the answer's yes." Saki: "Yes!" Ai: "Sakura, cue card!" Sakura: "R-Right! Um... nice how?" Ai: "This shopping district prides itself on its one-of-a-kind merchandise." Ai: "Every unique shop has its own signature items!" Lily: "Wow! Let's check it out!" Saki: "Whatcha looking at, Ryu-san?" Ryu: "Check it. These mudskippers are trapped in the society called an aquarium." Ryu: "They're just like you gals, struggling with the rage of being contained." Saki: "For real! That's just like us!" Ryu: "I wanna give these little fellas a path to freedom." Ryu: "How much?" Clerk: "Those are actually my pets. You're gonna have to settle for the chopstick rest version. They're 500 yen a piece." Saki: "Freedom!" Pa: "You think this is nice enough?" Producer: "I figure they seem to be having a good time. It should work." Sakura: "That's a really colorful shrine!" Lily: "It's so cute, like a toy!" Yugiri: "Cuts a different figure than the Kurou Inari we had in Yoshiwara." Sakura: "Um, say, Number Four?" Junko: "What is it?" Sakura: "That's supposed to be a shrine for the god of marriage! Let's check it out!" Junk: "M-Marri—?! No, thank you!" Sakura: "You think zombie prayers count?" Ai: "I'm sure the gods are surprised we're even here." Sakura: "And so, we're just about out of time." Ryu: "Hold it. It's true that the light shines on this part of Yutoku Inari, but if you let that light dazzle you, you'll never reach the destination that awaits those who struggle through the darkness..." Saki: "What do you mean?!" Ryu: "These days, the glitz and bustle of the big city can cover up the truth..." Ryu: "If you're willing to crawl to get to that truth, I'll show you the way." Ryu: "To the inner temple!" Saki: "The inner... temple!" Producer: "Uh, Ryu-san, I figure the inner temple is gonna make for a rougher shoot..." Saki: "You gotta let us go!" Saki: "We're free now!" Producer: "I figured..." Sakura: "This is a real climb!" Ai: "I can only imagine how hard it'd be if we were alive." Saki: "Just you wait, inner temple!" Saki: "Holy crap!" Ai: "You can see all the way to the Ariake Sea!" Saki: "Ryu-san?! You okay?!" Ryu: "Grasping hold of something real... is never easy..." Saki: "Ryu-san!" Producer: "I figure that's perfect!" Pa: "Looks nice!" Crew: "The Franchouchou girls are doing a decent job keeping up with Ryu-san." Pa: "I seriously have no idea what that guy's saying, even if I pay attention." Sakura: "Saki-chan, you can't get mad!" Saki: "Damn it!" Saki: "Ryu-san's words are like fists fulla soul! You don't use your ears! You gotta feel what he says in here!" Saki: "I gotta go!" Sakura: "Saki-chan?!" Saki: "'Scuse me!" Saki: "Um... getting to meet you today was..." Saki: "I mean, you rock, Ryu-san!" Sakura: "Thank you so much." Ryu: "I think we had a good wind blowing today." Saki: "I haven't caught your show in a while, but I'm gonna listen again soon!" Ryu: "It'll be waiting for you." Saki: "Thanks!" Ryu: "Not that I'm gonna be there much longer myself." Ryu: "Things change with time, y'know?" Saki: "H-Hang on a sec!" Saki: "That show, it's..." Ryu: "Don't sweat it. The answers you're looking for can still be found in Saga!" Sakura: "Saki-chan's been like that ever since we got back..." Lily: "You think she liked that old guy?" Junko: "Th-That's..." Ai: "You mean romantically?" Junko: "Romance..." Lily: "It's not that weird, is it?" Yugiri: "The heart's the same, whether you're human or zombie." Junko: "Being zombies is one thing, but we're idols!" Lily: "Idols aren't allowed to like someone?" Junko: "We're not, right?!" Lily: "I think it'd be fine, as long as it helps you shine brighter." Junko: "You do?!" Ai: "It's hard to refute out of hand." Junko: "It is?!" Ai: "I mean, actually getting into a relationship would be different..." Ai: "But even in your day, idols would get together in secret, Junko." Junko: "Is that true?!" Sakura: "Did you have a crush on somebody, Ai-chan?!" Ai: "Of course not!" Lily: "I love all of humanity, because they all love me!" Yugiri: "Make sure to include me in that number." Sakura: "Let's just give Saki some space for now." Ryu: "This one's from "Saga P.D.'s Dirty Harry." You again, pal? "Good evening, Ryu-san." "Lately there's a lady working at my usual bar who talks all old-timey..." "And from the looks she gives, I think she's into me."" Ryu: "You're all mixed up!" Ryu: "Time for a song! This one's White Ryu's "Do You Hate Windy Days"?" Sakura: "Saki-chan." Saki: "Sorry for worrying you guys." Saki: "I learned about Ryu-san when I was in middle school..." Saki: "Back then... I thought the whole damn world was against me." Saki: "The teachers, the other students... Whenever I wouldn't take their crap, they tried to get rid of me." Saki: "So I fought with everything I had, like it was the only way to prove I was out there..." Saki: "And that was when it happened." Ryu: "No matter who you are, it's rough not knowing where you belong." Ryu: "But it's times like that you gotta keep your eyes, and your ears, open." Ryu: "You're gonna find somebody who feels the same way you do." Ryu: "Even now, me talking with you like this means you're not alone." Ryu: "Over time, you might forget all about me." Ryu: "But running into you like this, and getting to know you? That's something I'll never forget." Ryu: "And, if you ever feel nervous or alone, this'll be a place you can come back to." sher: "That's mine..." Ryu: "You're gonna find somebody who feels the same way you do." Saki: "That's how I found Reiko. And now I'm a zombie, running with you and the others." Saki: "If it wasn't for Ryu-san, who the hell knows what would've happened..." Saki: "Nah. No, I just can't accept this!" Dirty Harry: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" Dirty Harry: "Hey, get back here! No riding double!" Ryu: "Next up, we've got a request for an encore. White Ryu with "Do You Hate Windy Days?"" Saki: "'Scuse us!" Ryu: "Two little kittens... but they don't look lost." Reporter 2: "Did you hear that Franchouchou was back?" Reporter: "Yeah, they posted about it." Reporter: "That's disgusting, man..." Ryu: "Okay. Seems like we've got a hot wind blowing today." Ryu: "Let me introduce you to our surprise guests." Saki: "I'm Franchouchou's Number Two! Nice to be here!" Sakura: "I'm F-Franchouchou's Number One! Sorry to intrude!" Ryu: "So, what's up?" Saki: "I can't let this show end!" Saki: "There's plenty of folks in Saga who don't know what to do with themselves. Hell, Saga itself doesn't know what to do! If you quit the radio, Ryu-san... What's gonna happen to them... to Saga's smoldering heart?" Saki: "The only reason I'm an idol now is because I had this show!" Saki: "There are people like me out there in Saga... Nah! All over Japan! There're tons of us!" Saki: "So, I'm begging you! You gotta keep the show going! You need to be here for people to turn to!" Ryu: "That's the thing. They need a place to turn to, not me." Ryu: "I wasn't just gonna split." Ryu: "I wanted to leave this place to someone with the passion in their soul to manage it..." Ryu: "Hell, look at how droopy this thing's gotten." Saki: "Yeah, but who—" Ryu: "The answer is always in Saga!" Ryu: "You gals are taking over this radio show." Saki: "H-Hang on a sec..." Ryu: "You're here right now in front of me." Ryu: "What more reason do I need?" Saki: "Ryu-san..." Ryu: "You've got the kinda spark that lights a fire in folks." Ryu: "It's not just about Franchouchou." Ryu: "You're gonna be a leader to all of Saga!" Saki: "The leader of Franchouchou, Number Two! I'm going to be following in Ryu-san's footsteps, taking over this radio show!" Staff: "They sure seem to be settling this without asking anybody else... Don't blink. You'll miss seeing Saga history!" Ryu: "Saga's in your hands now." Saki: "Hey... What are you gonna do now?" Ryu: "The wind from Kyogatake is pushing me on." Ryu: "It wants me to tell the whole world about Saga." Saki: "Ryu-san... I... I love you!" Ryu: "Don't be dumb." Ryu: "I'm not the one who needs that passion now." Ryu: "It's everyone who doesn't know what to do... No, it's Saga itself that needs you." Saki: "Right." Ryu: "Look me up when you're a bit older and have grown into fine women." Sakura: "He was really cool, huh?" Saki: "I bet Reiko probably met a guy like him..." Sakura: "He said we'd see him again, huh?" Saki: "When I'm a bit older, huh..." Sakura: "Saki-chan?" Saki: "Except, no matter how long passes, I'm never gonna grow up... into a fine woman, huh?" Saki: "Since we're zombies!" Saki: "Huh? What the...?" Sakura: "Saki-chan! Oh, what do I do, what do I do?!" Saki: "I don't get it, man..." Saki: "Come on, what're you crying for?" Sakura: "Because... you were...!" Saki: "Sorry, sorry. Quit crying! Okay?" Saki: "You're drying up! This is seriously bad! Aw, crap, this is really bad!" Saki: "Come on, Sakura, you're gonna be a mummy!" s: "We heard the show! It's up to you now! We're rooting for you gals!" Saki: "As leader of Franchouchou, I've been up here letting my soul burn. From now on, so that I can lead all of Saga, my soul's gonna be blazing brighter than ever when I'm on stage! If I do that, no matter where they are, anyone who's lost is gonna be able to see my soul burning!" Saki: "Just like Lake Imari's breakwater lighthouse, over in Uranosaki! So, here we go! "Do You Hate Windy Days?"" Saki: "And so, it's time to wrap up So Saga Can Be Saga, featuring Franchouchou." Saki: "If you ever feel worried or alone, make your way on back here. We're always gonna be on the airwaves for you, so don't sweat it!" Saki: "Keep those eyes and ears open!" Saki: "Take your soul in your fist, and raise it up!" Saki: "And don't forget: the answers you're looking for can always be found in Saga." Saki: "Saki here! I'm gonna carry Saga's burning soul forward!"

Sakura: "Last time on Zombie Land Saga Revenge, we somehow managed to get back into doing the idol thing! Our first TV appearance in a while was co-hosting a segment with Saga's own rock star, White Ryu-san! Saki-chan has looked up to him for a long time, so she was really touched and really out of control! Could it be... love? Oh, my! But then, after Saki-chan learned Ryu-san's radio show was going to end, she went on a real tear! Saki-chan opened up about her passionate feelings, and Ryu-san entrusted her with his! Now, Franchouchou is going to be hosting his radio show, So Saga Can Be Saga! Now, Saga, burn bright!" Ai: "Synchronized moves at this level..." Ai: "are probably still beyond us." Sakura: "Ai-chan! Kotaro-san's about to get out of the bath..." Junko: "Ai-san?" Ai: "I-It's nothing! I was almost done." Junko: "What were you looking up?" Ai: "All kinds of stuff." Kotaro: "Don't eat that! It's not for eating! Hold it right there, Tae!" Intro: "Even if we have nothing else, we still have the future. A lowest point? Starting over from zero? That's just part of the saga." Intro: "Even if we burn out in the process, we'll make it come true! This is where our revenge begins!" Sakura: "A performance at Plaza 656!" Sakura: "A regular radio show!" Lily: "Please come and see us!" Sakura: "Thank you so much!" Sakura: "It feels like we're starting to make some real progress with our work!" Sakura: "Looks like the schedule is finally starting to fill out." Junko: "Even though half the things on there are still just odd jobs..." Saki: "Hell, if we're paying back our debt and doing idol stuff, that's gotta be smooth sailing! Right?" Ai: "Not even close, actually. If we start getting complacent now, we're always going to be known as the local idols who bombed at EFS." Ai: "We've got to go beyond that. Rise above what people expect from us... and what's happened to us in the past." Ai: "If we can't, we'll basically just be dead and rotting." Junko: "The entertainment industry has always been a cutthroat competition." Junko: "To regress has often been equivalent to dying." Saki: "Sounds like a challenge to me!" Yugiri: "Right. One we'll simply have to rise to." Lily: "I'm not gonna lose!" Sakura: "You too, Tae-chan!" Sakura: "Ai-chan is right. We have to keep moving forward." Ai: "Thanks for always supporting us!" Brunette: "Number Three is so cool..." Dark Hair: "I know, right?! She's just really sharp!" Junko: "Ai-san! Which do you think is better? Fully extending to the right or stopping here?" Saki: "Hey, Ai! About the intro for tomorrow's show, what do you think about this?" Lily: "Hey, hey, which do you think makes me look cuter?" Ai: "Let's see..." Ai: "I don't think it matters, honestly." Sakura: "Ai-chan, what should I do about this?!" Saki: "Ai! I gotta ask you something!" Junko: "Ai-san, please!" Lily: "Ai-chan!" Ai: "Sakura, you're out in front. Junko and Lily, you'll want to be on the back right. Saki and Yugiri on the back left." Ai: "A little further back." Kotaro: "Iron Frill is coming to our town! Iron Frill is coming to our town... This show's gonna be a big one now!" Kotaro: "It's a raid! A raid! A raid! A raiiid!" Saki: "Raid this, you—" Kotaro: "Wrong! You will respond, "Sir, yes, sir!"" Sakura: "S-Sir, yes, si—" Kotaro: "You're a bunch of zombies writhing around in the muck!" Kotaro: "Hell, no, you're lower than zombies! You're maggots!" Ai: "Could you give it a rest? What's this about Iron Frill?" Kotaro: "Get the **** out of your ears and listen up!" Kotaro: "A new war is breaking out in the wilds of Saga. This one's called the Saga Arena!" Sakura: "Saga Arena?" Kotaro: "And guess who's coming to break in the new venue. Iron Frill!" Kotaro: "Inaugural performance, my ass! It's an arena in Saga! Why the hell would you bring in a bunch of Tokyo idols for that?! Anyway, boom!" Kotaro: "I managed to cram you maggots in as Iron Frill's opening act! You're going to take the **** taste of Saga's inauguration **** and make sure those little Tokyo **** girls never forget it. Am I clear, maggot zombies?!" Saki: "Are you for real?" Sakura: "Iron Frill..." Ai: "Let's do it." Ai: "We can do this." Ai: "I know we can." Sakura: "Ai-chan...!" Kotaro: "Sorry to rain on your little parade here, but Ai is going to be absent for this one." Ai: "Wait, why?!" Kotaro: "You really think that's a good idea, Ai-chan? Going out in front of Iron Frill? With your face belonging to their legendary center and all?" Saki: "Screw you! We've been been doing this all along without worrying about people recognizing us!" Lily: "And we already performed in the same show with Iron Frill at Saga Rock!" Junko: "That's right! We can't go on without Ai-san after all this time." Sakura: "Franchouchou is only Franchouchou if all of us are together, Kotaro-san!" Kotaro: "You maggot zombies need to quit yapping and get to work! I've got solo jobs lined up for you. You start on those tomorrow. Dismissed!" Sakura: "Kotaro-san..." Saki: "What the hell do we do now?" Ai: "You know he doesn't listen when he gets like that. There could always be a time when one of us will have to sit something out because of an accident... Depending how you think of it, this could be a chance for Franchouchou to grow up a bit." Lily: "But I don't like the idea of only you being gone, Ai-chan!" Ai: "It's just this one time. Let's just make this part of our revenge for what happened at EFS." Ai: "Junko... I'm counting on you to help the others." Ai: "You've got the most experience of everyone who will be left." Junko: "Right!" Stage Lady: "Our guest today is Number Three from Franchouchou!" Ai: "Hi, there! I'm glad to be here!" Metal Guy 2: "You hear Number Three's gonna be doing solo stuff?" Metal Guy 1: "You think she's gonna put out solo music, too?" Host: "Now, Number Three, have you ever been told you look a lot like Iron Frill's legendary center, Ai Mizuno?" Ai: "Yes, I hear that occasionally... It's honestly a huge honor to be compared to such a legendary idol!" Kotaro: "Number Three for a live event in Fukuoka... An appearance at the Nagasaki Hydrangea Festival... and for the Beppu Hot Springs Hell..." Kotaro: "Nope, nope, and nope, sorry!" Ai: "Hey! Why not?!" Kotaro: "Franchouchou are Saga idols, created to save Saga. Any offer from another prefecture is just a trap designed to capitalize on Saga's glory. Don't be misled." Ai: "This is the first time I'm hearing about this glory..." Ai: "What are you thinking?" Ai: "Why would you split us up at such an important juncture?" Ai: "We can't afford to mess this next performance up." Ai: "If it turns into a replay of what happened at EFS..." Kotaro: "Franchouchou can do a perfectly fine job without you, thank you very much! Besides, isn't Junko handling the performance? Don't you trust her?" Ai: "Junko managed to survive as a top idol by herself when it was as hard as ever to do so! The others have gotten over the trauma of EFS and are working hard! I'm sure they can..." Kotaro: "Sounds to me like there's no problem, then! You just need to focus on doing a greeeat job with your solo stuff so the others can do a greeeat job with their show! And pay back some of this freaking debt!" Ai: "Then shouldn't we accept all those offers you just rejected, you idiot?!" Stage: "You're on!" Both: "Thank you, coming!" Junko: "Everyone's improving steadily... But the way things stand, I don't think we'll leave an impression on people who came to see Iron Frill." Junko: "There's not much time left..." Junko: "At this rate, it's going to happen again..." Sakura: "Junko-chan!" Sakura: "Junko-chan?" Sakura: "What did you think about that one?" Saki: "We probably still have a way to go, huh?" Junko: "Oh, no. There are things to address, but you're all definitely improving." Saki: "For real?! Hell yeah!" Lily: "You had a scary look on your face the whole time, so I was kinda nervous." Saki: "This is gonna be a big one for Franchouchou. We've gotta hit them with a really big impact!" Junko: "To do that, let's focus on getting one thing done at a time." Saki: "Yeah. For me, that's moving too wildly and my mic coming loose..." Lily: "Saki-chan, you keep dancing out of habit in songs with choreography!" Boss: "Your mind is unsettled." Boss: "I can't trust you with this right now." Junko: "I'm sorry, sir." Teacher: "You can wrap up for today." Junko: "I'm home..." Junko: "Hello there, Tae-san. Is everyone else still at work?" Host: "Next up is Franchouchou's "Awaken Returner," the Number Three solo version!" Junko: "If Ai-san had been alive during my day..." Junko: "I'm sure she would've managed to become a top idol, even by herself." Junko: "I need to pull myself together!" Press: "Do you have any comments going into the Saga Arena show this weekend?" Makoto: "Yeah! We're going to do our best, so I hope everyone comes to see us!" Press: "Your national tour seems to be going really well! It's no wonder they call you the absolute queens of idols! Everyone's expecting another big year..." Shiori: "Not really. I don't think there are any absolutes in this world. I think it's our responsibility to keep moving forward and continue to evolve." Yui: "Shiori..." Shiori: "Saga's a significant place for Iron Frill. I want to be sure to prove we're one of a kind and beyond compare" Shiori: "to our legendary original center, who I'm sure is watching over us all." Inubashiri: "She's put a lot of thought into this!" Inubashiri: "Guess top idols from Tokyo are something else." Okoba: "They're gonna be performing at the Saga Arena show, too, right?" Inubashiri: "As the opening act, yeah. Imagine if they showed Iron Frill up!" Okoba: "There's no way it's gonna be that easy." Sakura: ""We are one of a kind and beyond compare."" Saki: "So, is she declaring war on us in the opening act or what?! Bring it on, then!" Lily: "I think she might not even have us on her radar." Yugiri: "They're much bigger names... It'd only be natural." Junko: "If Iron Frill demonstrates they're on a completely different level... We're going to be labeled third-string idols... and we'll never get our revenge." Junko: "Impact...?" Junko: "Why?!" Junko: "Huh? What the...?" Junko: "I'm sorry! Work went overtime..." Saki: "What'd you think?!" Junko: "Wh-What do you mean...?" Saki: "I figured we need something with more impact to leave a mark on Saga Arena. Look at this, Junko-chan! Tae-chan's really got a knack for it!" Junko: "B-But we should probably focus on singing and choreography first..." Sakura: "We'll work hard on that, too! But there's not a lot of time until the show... So we thought, we have to do something to leave a big impression on the audience!" Saki: "It's bad enough Ai's missing. We gotta do whatever we can to dig in... or it's just gonna be another disaster." Sakura: "Junko-chan!" Sakura: "Is this not gonna work...?" Junko: "I wouldn't say that, exactly..." Saki: "Then it'll work?! It'll leave an impact?!" Junko: "G-Give me some time to think it over, please." Saki: "Got it." Saki: "For now, let's try it one more time." Yugiri: "Of course." Lily: "I'm going to shake these maracas sooo much!" Saki: "Hell yeah!" Sakura: "That was amazing, Junko-chan! That song—" Junko: "Sakura-san?!" Sakura: "They used that song a lot in commercials, y'know. I didn't know it was one of yours." Junko: "It's the first song of mine that reached the top of the charts..." Junko: "It became a major landmark in people coming to know the name Junko Konno." Junko: "I sing it often when I want to feel better." Sakura: "I'm sorry, Junko-chan..." Sakura: "Maybe we were all just panicking." Sakura: "It's about more than a flashy impact." Junko: "No, I feel the same way." Junko: "We're all so anxious, but I didn't notice..." Junko: "I love being in Franchouchou." Junko: "I want to make sure this concert is a success. But... all I really know is how to demonstrate my personal appeal, as a solo Showa idol..." Junko: "I don't know how to make my experience pay off in a group environment." Junko: "So far, I'm not doing a very good job as an idol senpai..." Sakura: "That's not true at all! The way you teach is really thorough and easy to understand, and you pay a lot of attention to all of us! You've taught us a whole bunch about being idols!" Junko: "Sakura-san..." Sakura: "Let's ask Ai-chan about this!" Sakura: "Even if she won't be on stage with us, we can still find out what she thinks." Sakura: "Kotaro-san didn't say we couldn't talk to her!" Junko: "That's..." Sakura: "Let's find out what she thinks about all of our ideas!" Shiori: "You're Franchouchou's Number Three, right?" Ai: "You're from Iron Frill..." Shiori: "You really do look just like her." Sakura: "Huh? Ai-chan...? And isn't that—?!" Shiori: "I've had my eye on Franchouchou for a while now." Shiori: "I know about what happened at the EFS show, too." Shiori: "You've been operating solo lately, right? I guess that means you finally caught on." Ai: "What's that supposed to mean?" Shiori: "You have to realize Franchouchou is a bad fit for you." Shiori: "It comes through in your performances. You want to be in a group like Iron Frill..." Shiori: "The ultimate top idols, the queens who reign at the top." Shiori: "Even if no one else could pick up on that, I could. Because I was chasing something similar..." Shiori: "Our legendary original center, Ai Mizuno." Shiori: "I've done everything I can to shine brighter than she did." Ai: "I'm just—" Shiori: "Number Three of Franchouchou! You should join Iron Frill! You have a lot of potential, but if you stay in a backwards place like Saga, you'll never achieve the glory you're after! Iron Frill is unbeatable and we never spare the effort it takes to stay the strongest." Shiori: "We're the place someone like you really belongs." Shiori: "I don't expect an answer right now. I'll talk to you again this weekend, after the show. I'll show you the kind of performance a group like Franchouchou could never accomplish."

Sakura: "Previously on Zombie Land Saga Revenge, Iron Frill is coming to our town! There's a new venue for them to break in now! That being the case, we ended up as the opening for Iron Frill's concert at the Saga Arena! But apparently Kotaro-san wants to avoid the resemblance to their legendary original center from being too obvious and is keeping Ai-chan off stage! After all this time...? Ai-chan's been doing solo stuff while we've been getting ready for the show, with members of Franchouchou operating separately for the first time ever! We're nervous and panicky, but if nothing else, we can't mess up again like we did at the EFS! But then the leader of Iron Frill, Shiori-san, showed up and tried to recruit Ai-chan?! There's absolutely no way we can let that happen!" Shiori: "Number Three of Franchouchou! You should join Iron Frill!" Sakura: "It's gonna be okay! Ai-chan wouldn't ditch us to join Iron Frill." Sakura: "I mean, she's part of Franchouchou and a zombie... She's one of us." Junko: "I'm sure you're right." Junko: "She'd probably scold me for getting nervous like this." Sakura: "Th-That's right! I bet she'd be so mad! She'd be all, "Is that really what you should be worried about right now?"" Junko: "Let's keep what we saw a secret. It's almost time for the Saga Arena show, after all." Sakura: "Yeah! Let's do our best!" Saki: "That was sweet, Tae! That's the impact we need! We're gonna blow the doors off Saga Arena!" Saki: "Junko?" Saki: "Hey! Junko!" Saki: "You okay, girl?" Saki: "What's wrong? Do we need more impact?" Lily: "Maybe you should get some rest." Junko: "I'm all right! Sorry. I think I'll just go get some fresh air." Saki: "Going for a walk, huh?" Saki: "It's so close to showtime, but she's been really out of it lately." Lily: "Junko-chan's probably got it rough. She's had a scary look on her face ever since Ai-chan started doing solo stuff." Saki: "We better hold the fort down for her, then! All right, let's crank this impact up as high as possible!" Sakura: "Junko-chan must still be worried about Ai-chan... What am I gonna do?" Sakura: "Maybe I could ask Ai-chan..." Sakura: "Not this time! Seriously, what am I gonna do?!" Sakura: "Wow, what a feast!" Yugiri: "One of the customers from the bar brought some ingredients in last night." Sakura: "It's all Junko-chan's favorites, too." Sakura: "And beef!" Yugiri: "This is for Ai-han's lunch." Sakura: "I guess Ai-chan is recording solo tonight, too..." Yugiri: "They say you can't wage war on an empty stomach," Yugiri: "and without physical strength the mind tends to shut down." Yugiri: "Our smiles are what everything else we have is built on, right?" Sakura: "Let me help, too!" Yugiri: "Could you set everything out, then? Make sure to put some rice in the lunch box, too." Sakura: "Yeah! Now, where's that rice scoop..." Stage-Hands: "All right, looking good!" Stage-Hands: "I'm passing by underneath! Right!" Makoto: "It's totally spotless!" Yui: "Once everyone's ready, we'll go over the set." Shiori: "This is going to be the best show possible." Shiori: "To show her how strong we are." Yui: "Shiori, can we talk?" Shiori: "Yui?" Yui: "I heard you were trying to recruit a new member on your own..." Yui: "From those local Saga idols, whatever they're called." Shiori: "Yes, that's right." Shiori: "She might be working in obscurity out here, but her skills are serious. By gaining members with new talent, we'll be even stronger." Shiori: "Always evolving to become the strongest. That's Iron Frill." Yui: "You're the one I'm worried about, though." Shiori: "Me?" Yui: "That local idol looks just like her, right?" Yui: "Just like Ai Mizuno-san." Yui: "The incomparable legend, the eternal center." Yui: "A name Iron Frill will never forget. I'm willing to admit she was a really big deal," Yui: "but she's in the past." Shiori: "I'm interested in her because of her potential." Shiori: "There's nothing else to it." Shiori: "Okay, girls. Let's run through the set!" Iron Frill: "Okay!" Junko: "Where does Ai-san truly belong?" Ai: "Junko?" Ai: "What're you doing out here? What about practice?" Junko: "Excuse me..." Ai: "Did something happen?" Junko: "No... I was just taking a break. It's all right." Ai: "Did you get in a fight with the others?" Junko: "It's really nothing. You have another job coming up, right, Ai-san? Don't worry about us. Just focus on that." Ai: "Don't try to brush me off. What happened?" Junko: "Ai-san... did you enjoy being in Iron Frill more than Franchouchou?" Ai: "What are you talking about? You're only going to worry the others at this rate. You realize what a critical time this is for Franchouchou, right? Do you want a repeat of what happened at the EFS?" Junko: "You... didn't say no, did you?" Sakura: "Ai-chan! Welcome home." Sakura: "Did you see Junko-chan out there? Dinner's almost... ready..." Sakura: "Huh? Did she... not hear me?" Sakura: "Sure, that must be it..." Junko: "Ai, you stupid jerk!" Dirty Harry: "Hey, what's all this? What's up, youngster? You heartbroken? Got them unrequited feelings? I get that, I do." Dirty Harry: "Love can seriously be a real jerk. But we just keep falling into it, don't we?" Dirty Harry: "You need a shoulder to cry on through the night?" Dirty Harry: "Oh, wait, you're underage! That's no good! A cop can't be seen soliciting—" Ai: "I know, I know." Kotaro: "What are you doing?" Junko: "Uh, I..." Kotaro: "Is everything ready for the show?" Junko: "I think Ai-san might leave the group! Iron Frill offered to recruit her..." Junko: "They said Franchouchou wasn't good enough for her..." Junko: "I can't imagine Franchouchou without Ai-san... But when I think about how talented she is—" Kotaro: "Franchouchou isn't good enough for Ai?" Kotaro: "Don't make this about her. What about you? You think it's perfectly fine if a member of your group gives up on you and bails? You think you're not worth more than that? Are you willing to accept that yourself?" Kotaro: "Because that's what you're saying!" Kotaro: "That you don't have any appeal yourself! That you can't stop a friend from leaving! You're admitting it and not even trying to stop her! Who the hell is going to follow someone who's lost sight of their own shine and doesn't even believe they're worth standing by?!" Kotaro: "Smash it." Kotaro: "This axe of mine has been fighting by my side my whole life. With every roar it lets loose, my soul is stirred." Kotaro: "As long as it can keep making music, I can keep moving forward. Through all the obstacles that stand in the way... The logic, the limits, turning defeat into victory! Turning impossibilities into miracles!" Kotaro: "And, through it all, I was forged into the legendary producer Kotaro Tatsumi!" Junko: "Weren't you really depressed just the other day...?" Kotaro: "And this axe is inside of your soul, too! So smash through!" Kotaro: "Smash through your unglamorous self! Through your excuses for giving up!" Kotaro: "All the limitations you've set for yourself! If there's something you really want... Destroy everything in the way and take it!" Kotaro: "Zombie or not, as long as you shine brightly, people around you will follow!" Kotaro: "So smash through, Junko Konno!" Sakura: "Junko-chan?" Saki: "Junko!" Lily: "You're late! I don't know if Tae-chan can hold on much longer!" Junko: "It's time to eat." Junko: "I know what we need to do at Saga Arena." Everyone Else: "Time to eat!" Yugiri: "Junko-han, have a bit of this." Saki: "Good stuff!" Ai: "You were too late." Yugiri: "Kotaro-han's touch with cosmetics really is something else." Lily: "I wonder what he does different." Saki: "We just can't seem to get that "alive" feel..." Sakura: "No! Tae-chan, not yet!" Lily: "Tae-chan, stop it!" Kotaro: "That should do it." Kotaro: "Now get out there and smash hard!" Junko: "Right!" Shiori: "What do you mean you're not going on stage today?!" Ai: "It's just the way our plans worked out. I thought you should know." Shiori: "We came here to give the best performance possible!" Shiori: "But... Franchouchou without you is just a group of nobodies!" Ai: "You really shouldn't underestimate Franchouchou." Ai: "They've been growing this whole time." Ai: "Even I need to be careful if I don't want them to leave me behind." Ai: "Watch their performance. I'm sure you'll understand." Shiori: "I'm looking forward to it, then." Crowd: "Who's the opening act again? You know, them. The regional idols who bombed at the EFS. Oh, I saw that online! Are they gonna be able to manage?" Death Metal Dude 2: "This is their first big show in a while..." Death Metal Dude 2: "You think they'll be okay?" Death Metal Dude 1: "And in enemy territory, too..." Ai: "You were never really worried about my identity, were you?" Dmd2: "This rocks!" Dmd1: "The death metal girls are back!" Kotaro: "Smash it!" Ai: "Dummy, it doesn't work that way!" Junko: "Now that you mention it..." Sakura: "Ai-chan! Junko-chan!" Junko: "We're okay." Ai: "Because we're zombies." Kotaro: "As long as you shine brightly, people around you will follow!" Death Metal Dudes: "Here we go again!" Yui: "How exactly do those special effects work?" Shiori: "That was a great performance." Shiori: "To be honest, I didn't expect anything on that level." Shiori: "But now you're going to see what the best look like." Shiori: "You'll be able to tell where you really belong." Ai: "Hey—" Junko: "Number Three is a member of Franchouchou." Junko: "She isn't going anywhere!" Yui: "I guess you've been rejected." Host: "And here are our special guests for today, the girls from Iron Frill!" Iron Frill: "It's a pleasure to be here!" Sakura: "They really were amazing, weren't they?" Yugiri: "You can tell how they got to their position." Saki: "When we take over the country, we're gonna have to settle up with these chicks... Bring it on!" Lily: "Well, we're gonna power up a whole bunch, too!" Both: "Right?" Ai: "While I was flying solo, I noticed a few things about Franchouchou by looking in from the outside." Ai: "That'll be a good place to start for what to do, going forward." Junko: "That should be interesting. I'd love to hear all about it." Host: "What was the most memorable part of this tour?" Iron Frill: "Good question... Gee, I dunno..." Shiori: "Let's see..." Shiori: "I'd say Saga's Franchouchou." Host: "Fran...?" Shiori: "Franchouchou. I consider them to be Iron Frill's biggest competition." Saki: "Is this for real...?" Ai: "This is Ai. Franchouchou's got infinite potential." Ai: "That means we have to keep trying new things! Next time on Zombie Land Saga Revenge Episode 5: "Little Bodda Bope SAGA.""

Sakura: "Previously on Zombie Land Saga Revenge, we were set to open for Iron Frill! As Franchouchou was trying to make a super strong impact, the leader of Iron Frill, Shiori-san, shocked us by trying to headhunt Ai-chan! No, no, no! If we say you can't have Ai-chan, then you can't! Then, after we totally nailed our performance, Shiorin decided to declare us their rivals?! Okay, we'll take it! Time to go, go, go down this road to revenge!" Kotaro: "Good morning, everyo—" Everyone: "G-Good morning?" Lily: "Very good! I can see you all have your magical smiles ready today. Huh? There seems to be one exception, though!" Kotaro: "G-Good m-morn..." Lily: "I can't hear you! Manners are fundamental, remember?" Kotaro: "S-Sorry..." Kotaro: "Huh? What... What is this?" Saki: "What's the big idea?" Lily: "Well, I was thinking about how I want to shine even brighter! We got that job hosting a regular radio show, the show at Saga Arena went great, and Iron Frill declared us their rivals..." Lily: "Everyone's been working super hard for their revenge, right? So I wanna do that, too! I thought if I could get a miracle power-up for my magicalness, it'd be a wonderful level-up for Franchouchou!" Saki: "That's a lot of spunk for a shrimp." Yugiri: "I did notice Lily-han thinking a lot about something lately..." Yugiri: "This must be it." Sakura: "That's great, Lily-chan!" Ai: "Do you have a specific plan? You bet! And boom!" Lily: "For the first time ever, a member of Franchouchou won't be limited to local TV... but will be appearing on a big national network!" Sakura: "N-National TV?!" Saki: "Seriously?! That's nuts!" Lily: "On Japanese Got Performance, anything goes! It's a freestyle audition show! If you manage to win at the regional preliminaries held all over the country... you get to enter the national finals in Tokyo!" Lily: "It's a wonderful chance for Franchouchou to make our big national debut!" Junko: "TV is Lily-san's specialty, after all." Sakura: "I know you can win this, Lily-chan!" Saki: "When's this show gonna be filming, anyway?" Lily: "Right now!" Lily: "Pappy, I'm gonna be on national TV for the first time in a while... Make sure to watch!" Sakura: "We're gonna cheer for you with everything we've got, okay? Ai-chan, that's not how you hold towels in the cheering section. Like this!" Ai: "I-Isn't this kind of overdoing it?" Sakura: "You can't get embarrassed, Ai-chan! Next is how to swing these pen lights. You wanna take both and spread them out like this..." Junko: "Do you suppose she used to cheer for Ai-san like that when she was alive?" Yugiri: "Ai-han was a lucky girl." Comedians: "Huh?" Comedians: "You gals are Franchouchou, right? That was a hell of a show at Saga Arena." Lily: "Thanks! I'm gonna put on a magical show again today." Agent: "Excuse me! Could you clear the way? Thank you so much!" Light: "I'm Light Oozora! Thank you all for looking after me today." Comedians: "Light Oozora?! The child actor prodigy?! He's cute as a button!" Saki: "Who the hell is Light?" Junko: "I've seen him a bit here and there on TV. He's an excellent actor. A bit like Lily-san before she died." Ai: "Why would a famous child actor be in a regional competition in Saga?" Light: "Oh, are you all Franchouchou?" Lily: "You know us?" Light: "Yeah! You must be amazing if Iron Frill thinks of you as rivals. I was hoping I'd run into you if I came to Saga! This is great!" Light: "Are you all entering the contest?" Lily: "Nope, it's just me today." Lily: "Nice to meet you, Light-kun." Light: "Likewise, it's a pleasure!" Light: "What the hell is this, huh? You seriously expect me to wait in the same green room as the peons? I'm Light Oozora, damn it." Manager: "I am so sorry, Light-kun! I'm getting something ready, so..." Light: "You're should have it ready beforehand!" Light: "How long have you been my manager?" Light: "What the hell is this? It literally says in my profile that I only eat the pudding roll cakes from Semplice!" Manager: "They don't have any locations in Saga..." Light: "Well, Saga sucks then, doesn't it?" Light: "That's part of why I bothered coming down here, though. There's no way there are any decent performers out here in the sticks." Light: "In other words, I've got a 100% shot at winning a ticket to the finals." Manager: "What about Franchouchou? People have been talking about them lately, and one is in the contest..." Light: "Ishimura..." Manager: "R-Right!" Light: "How long have you been watching me be legendary?" Light: "Franchouchou? Seriously?" Light: "My plan is perfect! I'm gonna have the judges drowning in their own tears." Host: "Japanese Got Performance! We're here to see what diamonds in the rough are waiting to be found in Saga! Here are our judges, who need no introduction!" Saki: "Oh, crap! This is what national TV is like?!" Yugiri: "Big city TV is certainly glamorous." Lily: "Light-kun said what?" Sakura: "Yeah! He seems to run really hot and cold! And he's got some kind of plan!" Sakura: "He said he came to Saga because he thought he could win for sure!" Lily: "Really? Well, you don't need to worry! I'm still just as wonderful. Sakura-chan, I'm counting on your cheers!" Saki: "What's the holdup? You're the one who knows all this cheering stuff!" Sakura: "Sorry! We got kind of distracted..." Host: "Entry number 13, Kotaro Tatsumi-san!" Judge 1: "What kind of performance do you have for us today?" Kotaro: "W-Well, I was going to do an impersonation." Judge 2: "What's the impersonation of?" Kotaro: "R-Right, th-this is... a mudskipper, during mating season." Saki: "You can't do that on TV..." Ai: "Lily has to go on next... after that?" Host: "Next is entry number 14, Franchouchou's Number Six!" Sakura: "Number Six!" Lily: "I'd like to thank you all for taking the time to join us all the way out here in Saga today. No matter how much the world changes, the ties that bind a family, and the love they share for one another, always stay the same." Lily: "Now, there was once a family... That consisted of a skilled craftsman named Kuma, his wife, and their son Kamekichi... "But before, you were fit to be tied over that little bit of money!" "I guess some things get better with age!" "He didn't drink at all?" "That's right! Pa is doing better now!" "He's been working hard, and he keeps on asking about you, Ma!" "I think he still... he must still...!"" Lily: ""I'm a nail? That must explain why you let me have it with that hammer yesterday!"" Saki: "Damn it... can't believe the shrimp's got me crying..." Ai: "She really is a child actor prodigy." Sakura: "That was amazing, Number Six!" Lily: "Oh, Light-kun! Good luck!" Light: "Thanks for warming the crowd up." Host: "We now have our final competitor for this round. You all recognize him! It's the famous child actor, Light Oozora! Come on down!" Light: "Never give up!" Judge 2: "You can do it..." Judge 3: "Come on!" Everybody: "You can do it!" Everybody: "Hang in there!" Everybody: "Steady as it goes... You've got this! Come on! You can do it! You can do it!" Light: "Never give up!" Crowd: "Never give up!" Judge 1: "Bravo!" Light: "Just as planned." Host: "I've got the results right here!" Host: "It looks like the finals will be between Light Oozora and Number Six of Franchouchou! The showdown's coming up after the break!" Crowd: "They're both gonna sing for the finals. It's gotta be Light-kun taking it, right?" Saki: "Man, it seems like everyone's convinced this Light kid's gonna win." Ai: "Well, he created a lot of momentum." Sakura: "Lily-chan..." Lily: ""Life."" Lily: "A song I used to sing all the time with Pappy..." Lily: "He said Mommy loved it, too." Light: "Can I help you with something?" Lily: "I thought you did a great job. But I'm not gonna give up either! I'm gonna sparkle and twinkle!" Light: "That space case act of yours? Keep that up two years from now and people are just gonna think it's sad." Lily: "That goes for you, too, right?" Light: "I'm not like you!" Light: "I'm gonna be on Broadway someday!" Lily: "Broadway?" Light: "Surprised? I bet you are." Light: "Most kid actors are only living in the moment. "So cute." "So little." "So lovable." Nobody's gonna give a rat's ass about that stuff once we get out of elementary school." Light: "We're getting older whether we like it or not!" Light: "That's where I'm different." Light: "I'm gonna blow up bigger than everybody else and fly off to the next level!" Light: "Then I'm gonna make a new legend, one that only the adult me could pull off." Light: "Today's my first step towards that. So keep up the cute act and enjoy the show when I blow you out of the water." Sakura: "Lily-chan... that's..." Lily: "It's fine! I'm going to keep twinkling, no matter what! I'm gonna win big so Franchouchou can get their revenge!" Sakura: "We're all with you!" Sakura: "I know you can do this, Lily-chan!" Sakura: "Yeah!" Judge 2: "The performances in the preliminaries were amazing. Now, I hear you have a song for us?" Judge 3: "Is it going to be a nursery rhyme?" Light: "I'm going to sing... "Life."" Sakura: "This song... it's...!" Junko: "The song that Lily-san planned to sing!" Saki: "That's really bad, right?!" Ai: "If she sings the same song right after him, it's going to seem like rehash. If it comes to that, I don't like her chances..." Lily: "What do I do? What should I do, Pappy?" Lily: "Everyone... what do I do?" Sakura: "We're all with you!" Light: "I'm gonna blow up bigger than everybody else and fly off to the next level!" Lily: "I can do this." Lily: "For the group!" Lily: "I can take flight, too!" Host: "Seems things might already be settled here, folks... Is this gonna be okay? We still have another finalist left..." Sakura: "Is this... "Life"?" Junko: "She came up with an alternate arrangement?" Sakura: "Number Six!" : "Number Six!" Sakura: "That was great!" Judge 1: "Fantastic! That was so perfect, it's hard to believe it was an improvised arrangement." Judge 2: "What did you think when you found out you were both going for the same thing?" Lily: "I remembered my friends in Franchouchou." Lily: "See, we've all been through a lot... A lot of times we thought we couldn't keep going, too... But none of us ever gave up!" Lily: "So I knew I could go on, too! So that Franchouchou can be even more eternal," Lily: "I thought I had to fly high here!" Judge 1: "Those were both incredible performances," Judge 1: "but the way this show works is we have to choose a winner." Judge 1: "And the winner today is... the performer who showed potential beyond what he's already accomplished as a child actor, Light Oozora! You win!" Lily: "Congratulations." Manager: "Light-kun? Where did you go?" Manager: "It's almost time for our flight!" Light: "I couldn't have pulled that off..." Light: "I lost. I might've been picked as the winner, but as a performer...?" Lily: "You should be proud, Light-kun." Light: "Are you here to laugh at me?" Lily: "You're the one who won the contest, y'know." Lily: "That means you did the better job. That's how the business works." Lily: "Besides, you're gonna rise to the top on Broadway, right?" Lily: "You can't let something like this stop you." Light: "Y'know this is the boys' bathroom, right?" Light: "It's fine. It's just me, after all." Light: "Y'know, I'm always going to be twinkling. That goes for everyone in Franchouchou. We're going to be twinkling stars forever!" Light: "That's why I decided to become a super twinkling star to help the others!" Light: "You've got something I could never have, Light-kun." Light: "So... you should make that dream of yours come true." Light: "You make it sound easy." Light: "Drop by Tokyo sometime. We can work on something together." Light: "See ya."

Inubashiri: "You look like you're racking your brain again." Ookoba: "In another five years, you're gonna have the same look." Inubashiri: "I saw the chatter online, too. About the resemblance to Lily Hoshikawa. More people are noticing Number Three and Four's resemblances, too." Ookoba: "Well, they're better known than ever thanks to that radio show and the Iron Frill business." Inubashiri: "Most people are just making fun of them for being a collection of lookalikes. I guess that comes with the territory when you're trying to get famous." Inubashiri: "You were the first one to notice Number Four looking like Junko Konno. You should've started writing stuff right away." Ookoba: "I don't wanna write a bunch of diet speculation." Inubashiri: "Well, the only theory that makes sense is that their producer is collecting a bunch of lookalikes. I bet the other girls probably look like somebody, too. Only other explanation is that they were revived, like a bunch of zombies." Ookoba: "If you're serious, maybe you wanna go write for that occult mag Mu." Inubashiri: "I'll head there for an interview right now! Not! I'm actually going to lunch." Ookoba: "The other girls, huh...?" Kotaro: "Peek..." Kotaro: "G'morning!" Sakura/Junko: "Good morning." Yugiri: "Morning." Kotaro: "Well, ladies of Franchouchou, how have you been? Looks like you're getting back in the swing of things." Ai: "Hardly. We need to aim higher than ever before." Kotaro: "Very good. I like that spunk, Ai!" Saki: "Seems like folks outside of Saga are hearing about us more. I bet we can blast on to getting our revenge for EFS." Kotaro: "Yes, exactly, Saki!" Sakura: "Let's keep trying all kinds of new things!" Kotaro: "All right, then! Let's get down to a strategy meeting... except we can't do that, can we, you airheaded zombies?!" Kotaro: "We've still got almost 20 million yen in debt, dumbass! How are we supposed to do any damn thing without any damn money?! This ain't some story where we learn how to enjoy life despite being broke! You were only able to do the radio show and the opening act gig and that audition show because they don't cost jack! Until we get liquid, there's not gonna be any challenges or revenges or anything else, you ninnyhammers!" Saki: "The debt is your fault in the first place!" Saki: "Quit acting like a kid!" Kotaro: "Okay! So, that being the case, why don't we all get out there and get that bread?!" Kotaro: "That goes for you, too!" Sakura: "Tae-chan has today off so she can rest!" Kotaro: "Nobody ever earned by sleeping! Without money, you won't be able to have your fun little family dinners anymore!" Junko: "Sakura-san..." Junko: "Please, don't think of yourself as a ninnyhammer." Sakura: "O-Okay?" Lily: "Have a good day!" Quartet: "We're heading out!" Yuugiri: "There." Yuugiri: "Here's today's list." Yuugiri: "Are you going to be all right?" Yuugiri: "Be careful out there, you hear?" Yuugiri: "Romero-han, look after her." Ookoba: "I talked a big game, but big stories in Saga? Not like I'm in Tokyo anymore..." Ookoba: "That's Number Zero." Ookoba: "Franchouchou's Number Zero... Even in that group, she stands out." Ookoba: "She doesn't sing, for one thing. And when she dances, she's basically doing her own thing. She has these strange bursts of activity that are almost childlike. But none of the other members seem to think that's strange, and instead of getting upset, they almost seem to love her for it. Among fans, her devil-may-care, free-wheeling, mysterious behavior has earned a lot of love." Ookoba: "You can definitely say she's got a certain something the rest of the group doesn't..." Granny: "Oh, Zero-chan, are you out shopping?" Granny: "I saw Number Six on TV the other day! That little dear is really something." Granny: "I just bought some fish croquettes. Have one!" Granny: "Now, don't go eating the bag like last time." Granny: "Sure, something for Rome-chan, too." Kid A: "Number Zero, Number Zero! Whatcha up to?" Kid B: "Oh, you're shopping today? You can have some Irohanihohoho then." Ookoba: "She fits right in..." Ookoba: "Is this a shortcut?" Ookoba: "She's eating it?!" Ookoba: "So fast!" Ookoba: "Haven't done this kinda thing in a while..." Maria: "Welcome!" Maria: "Oh, it's you today, Number Zero? I finally saved up enough money for Mama— er, my mom, so I can buy her a scooter" Maria: "to replace the bike that exploded." Maria: "To be honest, we're going through a bit of a rebranding with our team. Check this out... now it's Dance Team Dorami!" Maria: "You could act a little surprised. As for why we went with dance, after seeing Number Two at Franchouchou's performances, I figure there's more than one way to tear it up. So we held a rally with all members and decided to go into dance. There's also the fact Mama— er, Mom will probably worry less this way." Maria: "Man, I always end up talking your ear off for some reason." Maria: "How much of that did you hear?! Anyway, the idea is that one day we're gonna get big and be on the same stage as Franchouchou! Count on it!" Ookoba: "That's a sweet story." Ookoba: "She's chewing on her?!" Maria: "Aw, I keep telling you that hurts!" Ugawa: "Maria-chan." Ugawa: "Is she chewing on your buns again?" Sayama: "We're here to pick you up." Maria: "Oh, it's already time? Oof, that hurts! Number Zero, we're about to head to 656 Plaza for the Hisanaka Pharmaceuticals Dance Battle 2019, ow, ow, ow... which we're entered in. You wanna come check it out?" Hostess: "Our next judge is one of the people who helped make this tournament possible. You all know her from Saganship Z, the public relations manager from Hisanaka Pharmaceuticals!" Pr: "If you're worn out from dancing, by all means, try out our products." Maria: "Let's get out there and do this!" Ugawa: "We'll do our best!" Sayama: "What she said!" Hostess: "And there he is! Our five-time grand champion!" Hostess: "Representing Saga, it's Cocco-kun!" Hostess: "What a surprise we have, folks! It's Number Zero from Franchouchou!" Ookoba: "She's on stage?!" Maria: "Seriously?!" Hostess: "Unfortunately, I'm afraid there is no last-minute entry for this competition!" Hostess: "And that's our grand champion for you! He's happy to take on the challenge!" Ookoba: "That's... gotta be so fast it doesn't look like she's moving... right?" Hostess: "And Cocco-kun is down!" Maria: "Number Zero! I can't believe you won the whole thing by doing a run-in! And what was up with that spinning?! It looked like your head wasn't even spinning!" Ugawa: "Seriously, it seemed almost impossible!" Sayama: "What a flex!" Maria: "You even got the prize money, too! I bet Number Two and the rest of the group will be thrilled to hear about it!" Maria: "Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing?! You've gotta take it!" Maria: "I can't take it!" Maria: "Just give me those onions instead." Maria: "Why?!" Dirty Harry: "What's all this? Is it a stickup? Are we looking at some iddy-biddy baby muggers out here today?" Maria: "I was just trying to give her this money back, but she's acting like she doesn't want it, or doesn't care..." Dirty Harry: "You mean to tell me you don't know what to do with some cash?" Maria: "Y-Yeah, I guess..." Dirty Harry: "Leave it to me! It will be this officer's pleasure to show you how to put it to good use!" Maria: "Should a cop really be taking us to a place like this?" Dirty Harry: "It's my duty as a Saga policeman to aid and assist the prefecture's citizens!" Ookoba: "Seriously, Saga...?" Ugawa: "Maria-chan, it's Korosuke!" Sayama: "Bummer city...." Dirty Harry: "Y-You girls better get along, or I'll bring you in!" Korosuke A: "We're not gonna do anything. We can't make trouble right now." Maria: "Sounding kinda weak there." Korosuke B: "Hey, dumbass! It's because Misa-san is racing today!" Maria: "Misa..." Korosuke A: "Yeah, since you guys stopped being bikers, you might not have heard... But after that game of chicken, Misa-san has been chasing after the kind of ultimate speed that Number Two showed off by getting into boat racing." Maria: "I guess she found a new way to tear it up, too..." Korosuke B: "But she hasn't won even once... Misa the Fallen Angel! She always ends up accelerating at the wrong time and wiping out... The people who were calling her the runaway princess at first make jokes now about betting on her being a bust! They're even calling her Misa the Warthog!" Competitors: "Here's hoping you can make a turn for a change." Maria: "That's just sad..." Korosuke B: "You wanna die?!" Maria: "If she screws up like that in front of me, I'll kill her myself." Dirty Harry: "All right, let's move along. We've got another race to bet on." Dirty Harry: "Here. If you make a bit extra, cut me in on it, okay?" Dirty Harry: "Yes, hello, over!" Chief: "Where are you right now?" Dirty Harry: "Uh, well, I'm, uh, upholding my duty... as Saga PD..." Chief: "Is it the horse track?" Dirty Harry: "It's... not the horse track, no. Over." Ookoba: "She's sucking on it!" Ookoba: "I must be exhausted..." Tae: "Franchouchou!" Dirty Harry: "I swear to you... I'm not at the horse track, over." Dirty Harry: "Sure, I love horses! I'm just... not at the horse track. Over." Ugawa: "Number Zero!" Sayama: "We're over here!" Maria: "Misa's race is coming up..." Veteran A: "Now then, I wonder how that gal's gonna do today?" Veteran B: "I do like the way she races, but..." Misa: "Maria?!" Korosukes: "You've got this, Misa-san!" Veterans: "There you go! That's it! Nice racing!" Misa: "Watch this, Maria... And watch close!" Misa: "Number Two..." Misa: "Check this out!" Kroosukes: "She did it!" Veteran A: "That was the eel goby turn! She pulled off the legendary technique..." Veteran: "That was it... It truly was the eel goby! The eel goby has returned to Karatsu!" Ookoba: "That was a hell of a race. I couldn't resist watching it." Dirty Harry: "This might not be the horse track, but that was an awesome race! Should've bet on it..." Maria: "What bet did you make, Number Zero?" Dorami: "Huh?" Maria: "Seriously...?" Ookoba: "I ended up following her all day... and now I only have more questions, with no answers to show for it. I'm done." Sakura: "Tae-cha—" Saki: "Hey, Maria!" Sakura: "You were late, so we were worried! What happened?" Yuugiri: "Nicely done, Tae-han." Maria: "It's good to see you again, Number Two!" Saki: "Yeah! What brings you by?" Maria: "Well, I ran into Number Zero at the supermarket, and man, a whole hell of a lot happened! Check this out..." Maria: "She won big at the boat races! That's 20 million." Lily: "Did Number Zero seriously win all this?!" Saki: "20 million... How much is that?! Hey, shrimpy, how much is 20 million, seriously?!" Junko: "If Number Zero really did win all this..." Ai: "Can't we pay back our debt?" Sakura: "Ta-Ta-Ta— er, N-Number Zero, let's tell Kotaro-san!" Maria: "Number Two..." Kotaro: "Let's gracefully accept." : "All right!" Yuugiri: "That turned out to be quite the errand run." Saki: "Damn, Tae's way more useful than Shades!" Sakura: "Thank you so much, Tae-chan!" Ookoba: "I'm done." Sakura: "You were late, so we were worried! What happened? Ta-Ta-Ta— er, N-Number Zero, let's tell Kotaro-san!" Inubashiri: "Only other explanation is that they were revived, like a bunch of zombies."

Maimai: "My name is Maimai Yuzuriha! I'm a second-year in high school! And yes, I have thought my own name was weird a few times before!" Maimai: "I did it again..." Maimai: "Oh, well!" Maimai: "It's pretty, like a kaleidoscope!" Maimai: "Now it's time for Maimai to hit the bath again! A toasty bath that's always waiting for me!" Maimai: "Good afternoon!" Maimai: "Let's see, women's bath, women's bath..." Maimai: "Once I pop out of the bath, I'll guzzle down a tasty bottle of fruit milk! Time to get my bath on—" Kotaro: "So... we have a new member today..." Kotaro: "This is Franchouchou's Number Seven... Please clap." Kotaro: "Applause, people!" Sakura: "Um, I'm not sure what you're trying to say..." Kotaro: "You sure you're not sure? Seems kinda obvious!" Sakura: "You only went to the bathhouse because the plumbing's busted, right?" Junko: "Is that mummy-looking thing... a person?" Kotaro: "You ever hear about an idol group with non-human members before?!" Ai: "You're saying she's dead?!" Kotaro: "Wow, you're worried about that?! You're gonna let that bother you?" Saki: "Damn right we are!" Kotaro: "Not to worry, ladies! I've got the wheels on the zombie machine turning already!" Saki: "Holy crap, she's really dead?" Sakura: "Where did you find her?!" Kotaro: "What? What, what, what?" Kotaro: "Come on, now. I didn't "find her." I was... guided to her." Ai: "By who, exactly?" Kotaro: "How the hell do I know?! You know all these shrines and temples and stuff around Saga?! They got gods crammed all up in them!" Saki: "Shades, what the hell...?" Kotaro: "It wasn't me..." Kotaro: "I didn't do it!" Lily: "You're seriously losing it." Sakura: "Then how did she—" Kotaro: "I said I didn't do it, damn it!" Sakura: "It's moving! It's moving!" Sakura: "Just look at her!" Junko: "You don't move around anymore after you die!" Sakura: "Um... So, you're dead, right?" Maimai: "Wait, did I die?" Ai: "Why exactly didn't you double check?" Junko: "You realize dragging a living high school student here is ordinary kidnapping, right?" Sakura: "She... figured out we're zombies, right?" Saki: "Looks like it. She's staring holes in you." Sakura: "Well, as long as she doesn't realize we're Franchou—" Maimai: "Excuse me, you're Franchouchou's Number One, right?" Ai: "I knew it! I thought I'd seen her somewhere before! She goes to our shows!" Sakura: "The girl in the glasses who always comes to see us!" Maimai: "I knew it! I'm a huge fan of yours, Number One! I had no idea Franchouchou were zombies!" Lily: "Well, there it is." Junko: "Moments like this can really come out of the blue, can't they?" Ai: "What now?" Yuugiri: "The way I see it... She'll have to die." Yuugiri: "But that's probably not the best idea." Maimai: "Oh, it's okay! I mean, you're looking a little sickly and banged up, but I normally can't tell you're zombies at all! On stage, you're all so cute and pretty! Is that makeup?!" Saki: "She's taking this pretty lightly, huh?" Sakura: "Maybe zombies don't come as that big of a surprise?" Ai: "Sakura, you were shot!" Sakura: "A few times, yeah..." Kotaro: "Uh, well, regarding the matter of the zombieness... if you could just..." Kotaro: "Please don't tell anyone! I'm begging you!" Kotaro: "Come on, you guys are in this, too!" Mamai: "Diiing!" Mamai: "Hey, so, in that case, can I join Franchouchou?" Mamai: "That way I can help keep your secret safe, too!" Lily: "What do you mean?" Yugiri: "What a bold girl." Maimai: "Please!" Sakura: "Really?!" Ai: "You didn't even think for a second, did you?!" Saki: "Don't just give up, man!" Maimai: "Yay! Thank you so much! I'll do my very best, I promise!" Maimai: "My name is Maimai Yuzuriha! Yes, that really is my name! You can call me Maimai!" Sakura: "Maimai-chan..." Lily: "That's so cute! Her name can mean snail!" Maimai: "Well, I've got a curfew! I'll be back tomorrow! Goodbye!" Junko: "So she's going to be... commuting?" Saki: "Is that even an option?" Saki: "Maimai-shi! Let's grab some frozen tapioca!" Mamai: "Sorry! I have to taken a frozen raincheck! Huh? I didn't think there was any school festival stuff happening today." Maiamai: "It's something else! Something very else!" Maiamai: "If Maimai is bailing on frozen tapioca... Is it some kind of romance thing?! Details, please!" Maimai: "I mean, I definitely like them a lot, yes! And if you like 'em, join 'em!" Maimai: "Good morning! Maimai's here!" Ai: "Are you serious about being an idol?" Maimai: "I am!" Ai: "And you don't expect special treatment because you have dirt on us?" Maimai: "I don't!" Ai: "Okay." Ai: "Do you have any dance experience, Maimai?" Maimai: "Not at all! I'm starting at zero! But I do know all your songs and dance moves from your shows and CDs!" Sakura: "Really?! That's amazing, Maimai-chan!" Ai: "Five... four... Three, two, one. One, two, three, four..." Ai: "Five, six, seven, eight!" Ai: "How'd that even happen?" Maimai: "I can see it in my head, but my body has trouble keeping up!" Saki: "Sakura, Sakura! This might just be funny as hell!" Sakura: "I wonder if Maimai-chan's gonna be okay..." Ai: "Let's try again." Maimai: "Yeowch!" Maimai: "Owowow..." Ai: "One more time." Maimai: "Yeow!" Ai: "And again." Maimai: "Oofta..." Ai: "Again." Mamai: "Hargble!" Ai: "Let's call it a day for now." Maimai: "I want to keep going! I want to be a real member of Franchouchou as soon as possible!" Ai: "Make sure to go over what we did today, okay?" Maimai: "Okay! I'll come by tomorrow!" Saki: "Dude... Dude, is that...?" Saki: "It's got color! Holy crap, Sakura, it's in color!" Sakura: "That is neat!" Saki: "Is... Is Oyajitchi still in it?" Maimai: "He sure is! This is the 20th anniversary model." Saki: "Oh, hell, the old dude's still there?! I oughta kill him!" Sakura: "You were really working hard today." Maimai: "I've still got lots to learn, though." Sakura: "Ai-chan mentioned she's impressed with how hard you tried." Maimai: "I just want everyone to accept me soon." Sakura: "How long have you been a fan of Franchouchou, Maimai-chan?" Maimai: "Well, I had given up hope for Saga." Maimai: "I mean, don't you think it has a lot of potential?" Maimai: "But nobody knows about it. I think it has to be some kind of Saga thing. I mean, if Saga was Fukuoka, its image would be having a lot of people and being really active, and everyone would be more interested!" Sakura: "That's... not Saga anymore, though." Maimai: "But then, one day, I was reading Sagazine... And I was all, "Idols, in Saga?! No way!"" Maimai: "Then I heard about you doing a show at the end of the year..." Sakura: "M-Me?" Maimai: "It was really amazing!" Sakura: "Oh, wow..." Maimai: "I don't know how to put it into words... but I was amazed someone could sing with an expression like that. Shine like that! And so, I started thinking more and more about how I wanted to be like you and live in Saga the same way that you do!" Sakura: "Just like me..." Maimai: "But the EFS show was a real mess." Maimai: "The atmosphere got to us in the crowd, too... I've never wished my voice was louder than I did on that day. But, after seeing you at Saga Arena, it made me realize how amazing Franchouchou is." Maimai: "It doesn't matter that you're zombies! You're the same as living folks!" Maimai: "So I don't think you all need to worry so much about the makeup and stuff! Being able to perform the way you do is way more incredible! I might not be able to contribute much yet, but I'm willing to do whatever I can as a fellow member!" Sakura: "Let's work hard together!" Maimai: "Yeah!" Class Prez: "Isn't this kinda bad?! How are we all brainstorming and this and coming up with nothing?!" Girl: "I guess we're gonna be doing the Miss Tsubozamurai pageant again this year..." Class Prez: "Don't give up so easy! Look at how terrible these ideas are! We oughta be able to manage at least one decent one!" Maimai: "Diiing!" : "A performance at a school festival?!" Maimai: "If we get popular with high school students, it'll spread from there and make Franchouchou better known!" Saki: "High school, huh..." Lily: "That sounds fun!" Yugiri: "I'm interested, as well." Sakura: "Kotaro-san?" Saki: "You need to cut that crap out. You wanna die?" Kotaro: "You usually tend to pull in a real freak show in terms of audience... This'll be a good chance for us to take direct aim at the demographic that's gonna shape Saga's future." Ai: "What about Maimai?" Junko: "She still hasn't been able to run through a routine without falling..." Kotaro: "You need to be ready for showtime, because you're going to be the star. This show, Franchouchou is going to be reborn as an Eight Wise Idols group, and Number Seven makes her debut." Sakura: "Do you think you can do it, Maimai-chan?" Maimai: "A-As long as my body doesn't betray me!" Saki: "In that case, all you've gotta do is practice your butt off! Time to get psyched up, Maimai!" Maimai: "Right! Come on, brain and body! Get in sync!" Saki: "Time for the new Franchouchou to strut our stuff!" : "Yeah!" Ai: "All right, looking good." Sakura: "Maimai-chan!" Yugiri: "You managed to stay upright this time." Junkio: "And with two days to spare before showtime." Maimai: "Th-Thank you so much!" Maimai: "Um, why don't we all head to the bathhouse to get to know each other a little better? I love visiting them! I've got a few spots in mind that—" Lily: "Sorry, Maimai-chan, but that's one thing that's a no-go." Junko: "I do like baths, but..." Sakura: "Y'know, they make it hard to keep secrets!" Maimai: "Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot all about the zombie thing!" Lily: "Hey, I'd love to go around your school instead!" Saki: "You wanna take the place over, huh, shrimpy?" Lily: "Not even!" Ai: "I don't have too many memories of high school, to be honest." Junko: "Neither do I." Yugiri: "I'd love to see how young people today go about their lives." Maimai: "Got it! I'll get permission from my teacher!" Lily: "Yay!" Lily: "The festival's tomorrow! Get a move on!" Girl: "That was seriously so ugh..." Sakura: "Sorry... they all ran off as soon as we got here." Maimai: "It's fine! Everyone's really excited about the cultural festival tomorrow... I think they'll have fun no matter where they go." Sakura: "The prep is half the fun, after all. It takes me back!" Maimai: "What were you like in high school, Sakura-san?" Sakura: "I was kind of dead on the inside." Sakura: "Some stuff had happened, and it felt like nothing I did was gonna work out..." Sakura: "So I had trouble taking anything seriously." Maimai: "You were really negative, then?" Sakura: "Yeah... But after seeing Iron Frill... and Ai-chan... I decided to try again and keep moving forward!" Sakura: "I was so happy when I found out they were having auditions for new members. Around this time, I would be practicing in a corner of the classroom..." Sakura: "I died before I could apply, though." Sakura: "But now that I'm a zombie, I can try new things again. After meeting the others, I think I can take on any kind of challenge now. Even getting revenge at EFS." Maimai: "Wait, EFS? You're going to do another show there?!" Sakura: "Did no one mention that?" Mamai: "Not at all, no! I mean, that show was such a disaster! Why wander back into hell like that?" Sakura: "That's just how Franchouchou is." Sakura: "EFS was a huge mistake, yeah... We got into debt and we couldn't even do idol stuff for a while." Sakura: "But none of us gave up. We're scared of messing up again, but I know if we're together, we can get through it! What we're all way more scared of..." Sakura: "is giving up and becoming regular old walking dead." Sakura: "Over and over, we keep standing up... I think, for us, living means chasing our dreams even though we're dead." Sakura: "Oh, sorry! I think I got kinda... Oh, what am I even saying?" Sakura: "Maimai-chan?" Maimai: "That's who Franchouchou is..." Sakura: "Yeah! And having you aboard is gonna be a big help! Let's make sure the show tomorrow goes great!" Maimai: "That's who Franchouchou's Number One is!" Sakura: "Maimai-chan, you okay? Huh? Um, maybe she didn't hear me?" Sakura: "Maimai-chan? You forgot something! Me! Seriously...?" Ai: "You're going to be okay, Maimai. Think of how much you practiced." Maimai: "Right!" Saki: "All right! Let's get fired up!" : "Yeah!" Death Dude 1: "Huh? Who's that?" Death Dude 2: "There's someone new!" Girl: "Why?! What's Maimai-shi doing up there?! I have no idea what's gonna happen!" Girl: "That was awesome, Maimai-shi! Look at you! The star of Saganan Carnival!" Saki: "Hey there! We're Franchouchou." Saki: "This our first time performing at a school festival today, so... And we kinda... Well, starting today, there's eight of us! And that's it!" Yugiri: "Right!" Maimai: "I'm Franchouchou's Number Seven! It's nice to meet you all!" Girls: "You joined?!" Metal Dude 1: "That's as sudden as it gets!" Metal Dude 2: "You really never know what's gonna happen!" Saki: "And here's Number Seven with a few words!" Saki: "Let 'em have it." Maimai: "I want to thank you all for coming to see our special show here at Saganan Carnival!" Maimai: "I also have something very important to announce." Maimai: "I, Franchouchou's Number Seven..." Maimai: "will be graduating from Franchouchou after this show! Please enjoy my last song as Franchouchou's Number Seven... "Into The Light." I've been thinking it over ever since I talked to Sakura-san yesterday and came to a decision." Maimai: "I thought I was the same as you all, but that's not true." Maimai: "It's not about you looking pale or anything... I think that you all lived out your short lives as best you could when you were alive. The reason you shine is because, even after dying, you keep rising up, intent on living life to the fullest. I think if I want to shine like you all," Maimai: "I need to live out my life here in Saga, first. That's why I'm going to graduate from Franchouchou, and live my life in the Reiwa era as best I can!" Maimai: "That concludes the statement from Maimai Yuzuriha! Ei-yah! Maimai!" Ai: "I think you're really amazing. In a couple of ways." Junko: "You came and went like a storm." Lily: "Even though your name's pretty slow-going!" Yugiri: "Never forget the boldness that got you here." Maimai: "It has been such an honor!" Saki: "If you ever end up dead for reals, look us up." Maimai: "'Kay!" Maimai: "Oh, this is for you, Saki-san." Saki: "Seriously?! But isn't this thing super awesome?!" Maimai: "I'd love for you to have it!" Saki: "For real? Thank you! I swear, I'll take great care of it!" Sakura: "It wasn't for long," Sakura: "but it was a lot of fun having you in Franchouchou, Maimai-chan!" Maimai: "I feel the same way!" Kotaro: "I'm sorry." Maimai: "It's okay. It was because I got mixed up in the first place." Maimai: "And thanks to that, I got to have an experience I'll never forget." Kotaro: "I see." Maimai: "I'll be sure to keep Franchouchou's secret! I'd hate to lose my role models, after all!" Kotaro: "Thank you." : "Thanks again! See you around!" Maimai: "Thank you very much!" Ookoba: "Every time I look at this, I come to the same conclusion." Ookoba: "With the exception of Number Five, who there's no info on..." Ookoba: "Number Two, AKA Saki Nikaido. Number Three, Ai Mizuno. Number Four, Junko Konno. Number Six, Lily Hoshikawa. Number Zero, Tae Yamada. And Number One, Sakura Minamoto..." Ookoba: "There's no doubt about it..." Ookoba: "They're all dead."

Yugiri: "I'm going to... Saga?" Oyaji: "Right. It's where Master Hibiya was born. His wife passed away a long while ago, so it should be a peaceful arrangement." Okami: "It's a bit of a relief. Up against someone like him, even the bigwigs couldn't make much of a fuss." Okami: "He's got the wisdom of age on his side, and... Well, I'm sure you know better than I can explain." Yugiri: "Proprietor, Madam, you have my thanks. I really appreciate all you've done for me." Oyaji: "I've never seen a courtesan like you before, Yugiri." Okami: "I hope I never do again! Getting so popular that she couldn't get customers... How legendary does one girl need to be?" Yugiri: "I'm terribly sorry about that." Okami: "I hope you have a good life out there. But knowing you, I shouldn't need to worry." Yugiri: "Oh..." Okami: "Oh, come now, what are you girls doing?" Girls: "Miss Yugiri! Is it true you're you're leaving? We're not gonna see you again? Where is Saga? Far away? I don't like this! I wanted you to teach me more about singing and dancing!" Oyaji: "There, there, the legendary courtesan is going to be setting off to start a new life. That's nothing to cry about." Yugiri: "Come on. See me off with a smile, all right?" Yugiri: "It doesn't matter how far Saga is. You're all still going to be in my heart." Oyaji: "Well, technically, Saga doesn't really exist anymore." Students: "Lady Yugiri is so pretty every time I see her! I mean, she's a legendary courtesan! What's legendary mean? You don't need to know." : "Several months had passed since the legendary courtesan reluctantly left her old life. The high-ranking government official who arranged her freedom passed away due to sudden illness." : "In accordance with his wishes, she was granted a portion of his fortune. Although her well-being was secure, she faced the prospect of living out the rest of her life" : "in a town where she knew no one and no one knew her." Townsladies: "I mean, they have to call her a legend for a reason!" Townsladies: "She probably puts the folks over in Kamiashi-cho to shame. What made her give up a life like that?" Ye Olde Sakura: "Come on by and get your fill! We've got manju, dango, and shiruko! Step right on up!" Kiichi: "Th-The time has come for us to take a s-stand! Saga! Bring back Saga! Saga! Saga?" Girls: "What does he want? Let's go." Callers: "Come on by!" Procession Leader: "Come on by and have a look! It's the Shin Goro traveling show, and we're in town for a limited engagement of only seven days!" Kiichi: "Saga is coming through! Saga!" Procession Leader: "Hey! Who the hell are you?!" Kiichi: "S-S-Sorry!" shmonger: "What do you think you're doing?!" Kiichi: "S-S-Sorry! S-Sorry!" Constable A: "Are you at it again, Kiichi Momozaki?!" Constable A: "You're not going anywhere this time! Cooperate!" Yugiri: "Paper always has its uses." Constable: "You seem dead set on always being a nuisance! You need to give it a rest! Do you want to be arrested? I can arrest you, y'know!" Kiichi: "I-I just want Saga to be..." Itou: "A mugger! Don't let him get away!" Kiichi: "You stand there and wait for me to get back! Where's that mugger?!" Kiichi: "Itou..." Itou: "You never learn, do you?" : "At the time, Saga was treated as a problem prefecture by the Meiji government." : "During the Bakumatsu period, it underwent westernization faster than other domains, making Saga a key location during the reformation... But, with uprisings by the former samurai class during Meiji 7 and the accompanying defeats, its glory was a thing of the past. By Meiji 9, Saga prefecture had been divided up between the prefectures of Mizuma and Nagasaki, resulting in its total erasure from the map." Itou: "You need to give it a rest." Itou: "I'm not always going to be there to help you." Kiichi: "I-I'm just trying to bring Saga back, the way it should be!" Itou: "As long as you're making a fuss on your own, you're not going to accomplish anything." Itou: "The imperial court is still wary of Saga." Itou: "No one wants a repeat of the Saga War." Kiichi: "I'm not trying to start a war!" Itou: "That's not what it looks like to everyone else. Besides, even if Saga gets its name back, what comes after that?" Kiichi: "I..." Itou: "Okay, enough of this talk. Let's set aside the complex stuff" Itou: "and go check out the cherry blossoms sometime soon. I guarantee you'll see stuff that'll make you forget all about this old Saga you're stuck on." Kiichi: "Th-Th-That s-s-s-sort of thing isn't really my..." Kiichi: "Hey, what about my meat?!" Itou: "Thanks for the meal." Ye Olde Ai: "Come on out! If you've got any confidence in your skills, then face me!" Students: "You'd be the talk of the town if you didn't spend all your time cooped up here, teacher! The cherry blossoms are in bloom, anyway. If you'd like, I can tell you some places with great views!" Hibiya: "I want you to know what it's like in the outside world." Kids: "Wow, look!" Kiichi: "Uh, if this is yours, I, er—" Yugiri: "Thank you kindly." Yugiri: "I just bought it." Cart Guy: "Outta the way! Move it, move it, move it!" Kiichi: "Look out!" Yugiri: "Come on, now." Kiichi: "I-I am so—" Yugiri: "Here." Kiichi: "Thanks." Kiichi: "Hey, this is mine..." Yugiri: "Oh, I didn't realize." Yugiri: "I apologize for treating it like tissue paper." Yugiri: "You should head on home and change into dry clothes." Itou: "What're you doing, Kiichi?" Kiichi: "A celestial maiden..." Itou: "I think I know who you mean. The legendary courtesan who moved to Saga around the end of last year." Kiichi: "L-Legendary?" Itou: "Come on, man, if you want to get Saga back, you should probably pay more attention to the gossip." Itou: "The legendary courtesan, Yugiri. She was a miracle performer unlike anything ever seen in Edo, idolized by men and women alike." Itou: "People would bid to be entertained by her so competitively that the price got sky-high... to the point where no one came calling anymore. The heads of the restoration even got into fights over her, and there are rumors the Meiji court almost fell apart because of it..." Kiichi: "And a person like that... is in Saga?" Itou: "Don't go falling for her, now." Kiichi: "Wh-Why would I?!" Itou: "She's not the kind of woman a guy like you could handle." Itou: "She's from a different world." Kiichi: "A different world...?" Yugiri: "Oh, I remember you." Yugiri: "I'm sorry you went to the trouble." Kiichi: "Aw, no, it's nothing fancy... but..." Yugiri: "Thank you very much for the gift. But you should run along, now." Yugiri: "For your own sake." Kiichi: "I... I don't care." Kiichi: "Th-This stuff about you from being a different world and like..." Kiichi: "All that complicated stuff! For our Saga, it's... In Saga, it's..." Kiichi: "In Saga... it's..." Yugiri: "Pardon me! Does Kiichi Momozaki-han live here?" Xu Fu: "It's Saga!" Xu Fu: "I am Saga! No... Saga is me!" Yugiri: "Sir? Are you all right, there?" Kiichi: "Gramps, did you run off on...?" Yugiri: "It's a herbal medicine that helps with colds and other illnesses while being very nourishing." Yugiri: "I had an old acquaintance send it." Kiichi: "I-I appreciate you going to all the trouble..." Yugiri: "I felt guilty about you braving that blazing sun just to show me your gratitude." Kiichi: "Aw, I only did it because I wanted to..." Yugiri: "It was nice. You were the first person to come calling on me, other than my dance students, since I came to Saga." Kiichi: "Sorry about my grandpa back there..." Kiichi: "He's a little... Well..." Yugiri: "He seems like an interesting fellow." Kiichi: "I think Saga losing its name really made him worse these last few years... He started ranting about how if he had his old powers, he'd be able to raise the dead easily... About eight years ago, there was a big battle here in Saga and my father was killed." Kiichi: "I had nowhere to go and was cowering in the wilderness by myself..." Kiichi: "If Gramps hadn't found me, I dunno what would've happened." Kiichi: "I owe him more than I can ever repay... But all he says he wants in return is for me to save Saga." Kiichi: "I didn't know what he meant at first... But when Saga lost its name," Kiichi: "it felt like everything my father tried to protect was going away..." Kiichi: "Like Saga was going to vanish from inside people's hearts." Kiichi: "And I didn't want that to happen." Kiichi: "I think it's fate that Gramps managed to find me..." Kiichi: "So that I could find my way of life." Hibiya: "Yugiri, this is where you're going to live from now on." Kiichi: "I think I can finally picture it." Kiichi: "What I really want to do..." Kiichi: "is create a new Saga." Kiichi: "One where men and women, former samurai and peasants, merchants and craftsmen... A place where everyone can choose their own path!" Kiichi: "And live happy lives where they're true to themselves!" Yugiri: "That's a beautiful dream." Kiichi: "Please! Please, take one!" Itou: "You wanna be arrested?!" Itou: "You want me to arrest you?" Kiichi: "Don't scare me like that!" Kiichi: "She, uh... helped me clean it up a bit. And helped with the composition and stuff..." Ye Olde Saki: "There, there. Come on, now." Itou: "It's just some fish." Yugiri: "Forgive me. I felt a rather... fresh presence." Kiichi: "Sorry! I-I know I'm late..." Kiichi: "Itou? You're early." Itou: "I wanted to meet the legendary courtesan as soon as possible." Itou: "Here, the big one I caught you. You actually caught that thing in the Fukushoe River?" Itou: "This is great." Itou: "I guess the legendary courtesan can cook, on top of everything else." Yugiri: "The gentleman who arranged for my freedom taught me all kinds of things." Yugiri: "Things that would help with living in the outside world." Itou: "All kinds of things, huh?" Itou: "Y'know, maybe it's time for you, too." Kiichi: "What now?" Itou: "You're not actually that stupid. You could become a scholar, or a doctor... If you want to help people, you could do something that's a bit more realistic," Itou: "instead of this wild dream about bringing Saga back." Itou: "You met this nice lady. Maybe it was a sign to think things over. Hell, maybe you should think of starting a family?" Itou: "If you're the head of a household, you'll feel more responsible, right?" Itou: "I think it'd suit you." Isshiki: "Wh-Wh-What?! What?! What are you, stupid?! Seriously, what are you— What're you trying to—" Yugiri: "Kiichi-han!" Yugiri: "Hang in there, Kiichi-han." Itou: "He's helpless, I swear." Itou: "Ah, that's all right." Itou: "How about a drink?" Yugiri: "I'm fine, thank you." Yugiri: "Itou-han, have you known Kiichi-han for long?" Itou: "It was about two years ago..." Itou: "I heard there was some oddball passing out some strange writings." Itou: "I thought I'd go make fun of him... I saw how everyone gave him a wide berth, without stopping for a second," Itou: "but he kept at it... He was so desperate." Itou: "There had to have been other ways..." Itou: "He's a real fool, to be honest." Itou: "This country's changed." Itou: "It's going to keep changing, too." Itou: "What's to be gained by clinging to an old name?" Yugiri: "I don't think Kiichi-han is interested in the old name." Yugiri: "He wants to create a new Saga, with a fresh start." Yugiri: "It might be a half-formed, shaky dream..." Yugiri: "but it's one I'd like to see come true. Kiichi-han's Saga." Itou: "Sooner or later, that earnest heart of his is gonna get broken." Itou: "This country is still too twisted. Too barbaric." Itou: "Thanks for the meal. I had a good time." Kiichi: "Please take one!" Kiichi: "For Saga..." Recruits: "Excuse me, but could you tell us more about this? We want to get our Saga back, too!" Yugiri: "This is Yugiri. There's always something inspiring about gentlemen willing to risk everything for what they believe in. Next time on Episode 9 of Zombie Land Saga Revenge: "The Saga Incident, Part Two.""

Rebels: "We need to inspire the people of Saga to rise up as one! We'll get rid of the crooks that have taken control of the country! And this time we, the samurai of Saga, will—" Kiichi: "Yugiri-san!" Kiichi: "Sorry to trouble you for the medicine..." Yugiri: "How's your grandfather doing?" Kiichi: "No real change. He spends most of the day in bed." Kiichi: "Even though I've finally found a path to getting Saga back..." Yugiri: "You certainly seem to have more comrades now." Kiichi: "Yeah! We're putting together a petition right now... S-See? We're gonna ask the prefectural magistrate to bring Saga back." Kiichi: "We're even gonna go around talking to a bunch of the old timers from here..." Yugiri: "That'll certainly be a big step." Kiichi: "Yeah!" Kiichi: "Th-They're just a little worked up, y'know... I'll go stop them." Kiichi: "Everyone, what's going on here?" Itou: "Damn it. How'd I get dragged into this?" Kiichi: "It's fine! He offered to take our picture for free." Yugiri: "Right. If this sample picture of us is enough to attract more customers, that makes this one part of saving Saga." Yugiri: "Or would you prefer not having your picture taken for some reason?" Kiichi: "D-Don't tell me..." Kiichi: "You think it's gonna steal your soul or something?" Itou: "Hell no!" Kiichi: "It's fine, man! Don't worry! That's just a superstition!" Itou: "I told you, that's not it!" Photographer: "Okay, if you could hold still for a second, please." Photographer: "Here we go." Yugiri: "It'll make for a nice memory, if nothing else." Kiichi: "Sure will!" Itou: "I know it's a bit early, but how about some drinks?" Kiichi: "Sorry, I've actually got a..." Rebels: "Momozaki-dono!" Kiichi: "Maybe next time. See you, Yugiri-san." Itou: "The old ruling class of Saga... Survivors of the Saga War, I'd guess." Itou: "You should watch yourself, too." Yugiri: "What do you mean?" Rebels: "Those damned merchants have finally agreed to our demands." Rebels: "This should be enough to keep us operational for a while. What should we do about Momozaki-dono? Should we let him in on this? Don't bother. I'm more worried about getting the guns in place. You're sure the cannons Nabeshima is bringing in from Tsukiji will be in place to target the main road to Nagasaki? Yeah, one of the merchants gave me his guarantee." Xu Fu: "I suppose what will be, will be. Kiichi is the one who accepted them as comrades in his efforts to save Saga. The world of man will always be shaped by the actions of men... That's karma for you." Yugiri: "Kiichi-han has been complaining that you haven't taken any of the medicine I sent you." Xu Fu: "There's no point. I am Saga. No, Saga is me... If it's going to fade from existence, there'll be nothing left of me, either." Yugiri: "And you're convinced Saga's fate is set in stone, in spite of everything Kiichi-han's been doing?" Xu Fu: "The heavens do favor him." Xu Fu: "Even now, I can see the star of Saga's salvation shining over him... But, in the end, it will be the hands of men who decide matters of life and death. As things stand, I don't have enough strength to offer any real help..." Yugiri: "Drink this." Xu Fu: "But... I-I just said..." Yugiri: "Make sure to have some every day, until the box is empty." Kiichi: "N-Now hang on a second!" Rebels: "No petition can ever make up for the anger we feel!" Kiichi: "B-But we aren't trying to start a war here..." Rebels: "What we need right now, more than anything else, is action!" Kiichi: "J-Just give me some more time, please... I know I can get our Saga—" Rebels: "A boy like you can't understand!" Rebels: "What it felt like for us, eight years ago, seeing Saga die..." Itou: "Isn't enough enough? You did what you could," Itou: "but there's nothing but destruction ahead, now." Itou: "The survivors of the Saga War are arming up again. There's no way the army ignores that." Itou: "Everything that happened eight years ago is gonna happen again." Itou: "You have to realize it by now." Itou: "Pure idealism isn't enough to change the world." Kiichi: "But if I back down now... what happens to Saga?" Kiichi: "It'll make everyone give up. They'll think Saga really can't do anything and stop trying. Thinking they can't change anything... I can't let it end like that! No matter where you were born or what your background is, Saga should be a place where people can do what they want to!" Kiichi: "Where you can reach for the future! And help each other! That's the new Saga I want to bring back!" Itou: "You need to wake up!" Itou: "How long are you going to keep yelling about this stupid kid's dream?" Itou: "This country is still immature... Twisted and barbaric. It will crush you like you're nothing!" Kiichi: "Quit trying to make it sound like it's over! Saga hasn't even begun yet!" Itou: "If this keeps up, Kiichi's going to be a fugitive." Itou: "He might not have meant to, but he helped spark a rebellion." Itou: "You should get out of Saga for a while." Itou: "I wasn't joking about what I said before. I think together, the two of you could—" Yugiri: "Itou-han..." Yugiri: "Do Kiichi-han's ambitions really seem that shallow to you?" Itou: "He's seriously such an idiot." Itou: "Awkward and bashful, but determined, in spite of being helpless..." Itou: "That's why I..." Itou: "Look after him for me." Yugiri: "Thank you very much." Rebels: "What we need right now, more than anything else, is action!" Rebels: "Who are you?" Itou: "This is why I told you to stop." Kiichi: "Itou... why...?" Kiichi: "What are you doing? Why would you...?" Itou: "Well, Kiichi? Does this change things? Still not gonna give up?" Itou: "My job is to keep an eye on rebels lurking in Saga." Itou: "It would've been fine if you had kept to your childish campaign." Itou: "But once it crossed a certain line..." Kiichi: "I-Itou..." Itou: "This is all I have." Itou: "This country's still twisted and barbaric." Itou: "Full of people like me, who don't know how else to live and don't have any other options." Itou: "Answer me, Kiichi!" Kiichi: "Stop, Itou!" Yugiri: "Kiichi-han!" Yugiri: "People will be on our trail. You should leave Saga for now." Kiichi: "Why'd it end up like this...?" Kiichi: "I never really understood what was going on..." Kiichi: "But Itou... and my comrades..." Kiichi: "Because of me! All of it! I stirred all this up! Let them all die!" Kiichi: "How am I... How am I supposed to make a new Saga?!" Kiichi: "Please, just go." Kiichi: "They're only after me..." Kiichi: "and I don't care anymore. I don't want you to—" Yugiri: "I don't want to hear any whining!" Yugiri: "What you're after might be a naive, childish dream, Kiichi-han... But the fact is that was what got things moving again in Saga. You have a responsibility to see it through!" Yugiri: "A lot of people who were inspired by your words have died. As it stands, that will all be for nothing if you don't make your dream a reality!" Yugiri: "You're going to get it back, aren't you? Create a new Saga? Even when people mocked you, you had faith in that and pressed on. Are you going to turn your back on all of that and act like it meant nothing?" Yugiri: "Go through Mitsuse Pass, then take a boat from Hakata to Nagasaki." Yugiri: "The letter will tell you what to do from there." Yugiri: "I asked some old acquaintances of mine for help." Yugiri: "With their support, even the government won't be able to lay a hand on you." Yugiri: "This is all I can do for you." Yugiri: "What happens once you survive is up to you." Yugiri: "Please, show me what the new Saga you create looks like." Kiichi: "I swear, with everything I have..." Kiichi: "I will create a new Saga!" Itou: "Damn it, I didn't think a legendary courtesan would be this legendary." Itou: "Who the hell was the guy who set you free, anyway?" Yugiri: "Have you ever heard the name "Sheathed Kichiemon"?" Itou: "The Demon of Hibiya...!" Itou: "I better take this seriously, then." Itou: "Sorry. I guess you're stuck with the short end of the stick." Yugiri: "Why...?" Itou: "A place where everyone... can live freely, the way they want..." Yugiri: "By the time you are reading this letter, I will likely no longer be alive." Yugiri: "A few of my old acquaintances have sworn to look after Kiichi-han. But with blood having been spilled and signs of rebellion growing in Saga," Yugiri: "someone will have to accept responsibility and punishment for it. I think that this entire incident, and my involvement, will all be treated like it never happened in the end." Yugiri: "If Kiichi-han asks you, please tell him I left Saga safely." Yugiri: "And, if you truly are Saga itself..." Yugiri: "then please guide the new Saga that Kiichi-han creates." Yugiri: "This is goodbye." Saki: "Hey, anybody seen my hat?" Ai: "You had it on during rehearsal, didn't you? Maybe you left it somewhere." Saki: "I'm telling you, I left it right here!" Junko: "Tae-san, what are you chewing on? Oh, no..." Sakura: "Tae-chan, no! That's not even squid!" Lily: "Ew, it's drooly and smooshed!" Kotaro: "What are you loafing around for, you easy breezy parcheesi zombiesees?!" Kotaro: "The crowd's butts are getting numb waiting for you! Okay, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!" Lily: "Come on, Yugirin!" Yugiri: "Right." Xu Fu: "So, how are you liking this era?" Yugiri: "It's wonderful. I think really do love dancing and singing for an audience." Xu Fu: "What're you called again? The Saga—" Yugiri: "It's Franchouchou." Xu Fu: "Right, that." Xu Fu: "I guess all that fussing he did amounted to something after all." Yugiri: "It really did. And I'm truly grateful for that." Yugiri: "It's my turn this time." Yugiri: "I'm going to choose a path for myself, in this new Saga... and walk down it." Yugiri: "I'm lucky enough to have comrades with the same goal, after all."

Veronica: "Hold it right there!" chka: "You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney!" chka: "Veronica!" Veronica: "So you've shown your true colors!" Veronica: "Ninotchka!" chka: "Right!" Veronica: "Hey! We didn't ask for backup!" Misuzu: "I just happened to be passing by." Penta: "You're not going to catch me!" Lane: "Give it up. You're completely surrounded." chka: "You're here, too, Chief?" Lane: "Oh, yeah. I just happened to be passing by." Penta: "Damn it..." Chuta: "A loud noise?" Chuta Narration: "Spring. I'm finally fitting in with my new class," Chuta: "It must be the neighbor's cat." Chuta Narration: "so I think I'll be able to get by. Or so I thought," Chuta Narration: "at the time..." Chuta: "Huh? Something smells good?" Chuta: "Well, it is spring..." Takegawa: "Kokonose? Who are you talking to?" Chuta: "I like the smell of freshly-washed clothes after they've been dried." Takegawa: "Hey, Kokonose!" Chuta: "Yes, sir!" Takegawa: "How long do you plan on talking to yourself?" Guy: "There it is." Chuta: "I'm sorry!" Guy: "Murmuring Chuta." Guy: "The school year's just begun, and you're already a hero." Guy2: "I can't believe you ignored Takegawa in social studies..." Chuta: "Let's stop talking about that." Guy: "I mean, people wouldn't normally be able to do that." Guy2: "Seriously." Shizu: "Misuzu, isn't Kokonose-kun interesting and funny?" Chuta: "Misuzu Sonokata." Chuta: "I haven't talked to her once yet, but I bet her personality's really cute, too." Guy: "Whoa, you're like a pro." Guy2: "Nothing less from the demon of home ec trained in the art of doing chores." Chuta: "You're exaggerating." Guy: "Um, Kokonose-kun..." Guy: "The cooking club has a cooking contest coming up. Would you consider joining?" Chuta: "Huh? Me?" Girl: "We've noticed how good you are, so we wanted to ask you." Chuta: "S-Sorry, but I'm gonna pass." Boy: "Aw, he declined." Girl: "I hear that's exactly why he doesn't have any friends." Chuta: "That's not true!" Chuta: "I'm not holding back or anything! I just really don't want to do it! I have to help Auntie, anyway!" Boy: "What? Is he talking to himself?" Chuta: "Crap..." Chuta: "It's not like I want to talk to myself." Chuta: "There's a reason that I seem to be in a daze or not hear what people are saying." Voice: "It's a bad habit of yours, Chuta." Chuta: "I hear this voice." Voice: "You're negative and pessimistic. Don't you have any confidence, Chuta?" Chuta: "Mind your own business! I've been hearing this voice for as long as I can remember, and it only reverberates in my head. When I was little, I thought that's how it was for everyone, but apparently it's just me." Chuta: "The conversations we have are usually idiotic, so I've never anyone else about it. But because of this, I miss important things being said, or I argue with the voice and get treated like some weirdo." Chuta: "I'm basically complicated like that." Voice: "That's exactly why you don't have any friends." Chuta: "I said, "Shut up!"" Chuta: "If that were the extent of my troubles, it wouldn't be so bad, but..." Chuta: "But that's why I decided that I wouldn't cause anyone else any trouble." Voice: "Chuta, I smell oil." Chuta: "Well, we're in cooking class, so it shouldn't be a surprise." Tateyan: "Ow..." Chuta: "Saotome-sensei..." Saotome: "You have some nerve, wrestling each other in the hallway while I was gone, Tateyan, Uchida." Tateyan: "We're sorry." Saotome: "Come see me in the faculty room after school." Uchida: "Okay." Voice: "It's Blob-Blob, Chuta!" Tateyan: "Gladly." Saotome: "Come on. You need to return to class, too." Chuta: "Y-Yes, Ma'am." Voice: "Blob-Blob! It's Blob-Blob!" Chuta: "Shut up, already!" Voice: "It's Blob-Blob, isn't it?" Chuta: "Don't you mean boing-boing?" Chuta: "She heard me...?" Misuzu: "You're the worst kind of pervert. Please die without leaving a trace." Chuta: "What— Die? Huh?" Chuta: "The words that come out of her mouth and her face don't match at all! More importantly, was I just rejected?" Voice: "D'oh, Chuta." Chuta: "Couldn't it have just stayed as a one-sided crush?" Tateyan: "Hey!" Tateyan: "Are you free today? Saotome-chan is taking us to karaoke." Chuta: "You're going with Saotome-sensei?" Tateyan: "Do you wanna come?" Chuta: "Huh? Sorry, but I'm..." Tateyan: "I see." Chuta: "Sorry." Tateyan: "Chuta Kokonose, right? You sure are interesting." Tateyan: "Well, show up if you change your mind. I'm Tateyan." Chuta: "Thanks, Tateyan." Tateyan: "See ya!" Caster: "Next, we have some news from overseas." Caster: "We have just found out that the next head of the Italian Mafia could be Japanese." Chuta: "I live in a muffin shop." Chuta: "I'm home, Auntie." Mimi: "Welcome home, Chuta!" Voice: "Mimi seems to be in a good mood." Chuta: "This is my aunt, Mimi. She's a genius when it comes to making muffins, but she's not all there when it comes to other chores." Mimi: "Say, Chuta." Mimi: "This is hard for me to say... I was using them carefully, but the shop's dust rags have gotten frayed." Chuta: "Okay. I'll sew some new dust rags for you." Mimi: "Thanks, Chuta!" Voice: "Well done, Chuta." Mimi: "I love you!" Chuta: "It's not a big deal." Mimi: "Huh?" Chuta: "Oh, it's nothing... Oh, I have the dish I made in home ec, but do you want some?" Mimi: "Woohoo! Thanks! I've been so busy that I haven't eaten lunch yet." Mimi: "So good!" Mimi: "Did something happen at school?" Chuta: "Huh?" Mimi: "Did you mess up again?" Chuta: "N-Nothing happened. Ow!" Mimi: "Are you okay?" Chuta: "Yeah, I'm fine." Chuta: "My aunt raised me on her own, after I lost my parents. So I can't really hide anything from her." Voice: "Someone's here." Misuzu: "Please die without leaving a trace." Chuta: "She didn't have to say it like that..." Chuta: "That demon with an angel's face..." Voice: "Chuta, someone's here." Chuta: "But man... she's so cute." Chips: "Changes in the target's particles confirmed. Please go ahead with the transfer, chu!" Voice: "So bright! Bright! Bright!" Chuta: "Wh-What the..." Voice: "Chuta, what is this?" Chuta: "I don't know, either!" Chuta: "Ow..." Voice: "This is a strange room." Voice: "This room! It's a strange room, Chuta!" Chuta: "What's going on?" Chuta: "Where are we?" Voice: "There's something over there. Chuta, there's something over there." Chuta: "I got it, so be quiet already." Tonto: "That kid keeps talking to himself. Did he hit his head?" Riggs: "Apparently, talking to himself has nothing to do with being an Earthling." Mcclane: "The Earthlings we know don't talk to themselves, either." Voice: "All right, let's go, Chuta!" Chuta: "Huh?" Chuta: "What?" Voice: "A cat! Their faces are triangles!" Chuta: "Huh?!" Voice: "They're suspicious, Chuta." Chuta: "Did we show up to some costume contest?" Laine: "Oh, welcome, Chuta Kokonose." Laine: "We're Space Police ēlDLIVE." Guys: "Yoyosa!" Chuta: "S-Space Police...?" Laine: "My name is Laine Brick. I'm the chief of this solar system's ēlDLIVE bureau." Exec: "So why was this boy chosen for ēlDLIVE? Judging from his data, I don't see anything special about this Earthling." Kieshi: "Please calm yourselves." Kieshi: "This was the consensus of Mothers." Chuta: "I was chosen?" Laine: "That's right. We, the personnel of ēlDLIVE, recruit those who have the potential to become great police officers by the consensus of the Mothers Computer that is distributed across the universe. And you were chosen by the Mothers Computer." Chuta: "Hang on a sec. This is all way too sudden. Where are we anyway?" Laine: "This is the Jeanrenoi-R, this solar system's ēlDLIVE bureau." Chuta: "Jeanreno...?" Laine: "Hm... It might be faster to show you, rather than explaining. Tonto, Riggs." Both: "Yoyosa!" Chuta: "Huh?" Utah: "Transfer to ejection block confirmed." Chuta: "Um, what is this?" Laine: "All right. Throw him out there." Utah: "Yoyosa!" Voice: "The door is opening. It's opening! It's opening!" Chuta: "Huh? It's opening?" Voice: "There's something round behind us!" Voice: "It's a planet! It's Earth, Chuta!" Chuta: "You're kidding!" Chuta: "That's amazing!" Laine: "Turn around! You can see our awesome-looking bureau." Chuta: "Whoa, a spaceship?!" Voice: "It's a plastic model. Doesn't it look like a plastic model, Chuta?" Merius: "Earthlings have such sloppy form." Chuta: "Whoa, a face!" Voice: "It looks like a crescent moon." Marly: "Don't scare him, Méliès. If you're scared, hang onto me." Chuta: "Eight tentacles?!" Voice: "There're ten." Laine: "There are many lifeforms living in this vast universe. Protecting the citizens and public order of the universe... That's our mission as the Space Police ēlDLIVE." Tonto: "The Chief nailed it." Riggs: "He can say such cheesy lines so boldly..." Laine: "Anyway! As long as you pass the qualifying exam that I'm about to give you, you'll be an official member of ēlDLIVE, kid." Chuta: "Huh?! "Kid"? Hang on a second! I never agreed to this!" Laine: "Don't worry about it! Actually, just do it." Chuta: "Is that an order?" Voice: "Take the test, Chuta." Chuta: "Huh?" Voice: "Try to join ēlDLIVE. It seems fun! Definitely do it!" Chuta: "Shut up! You shut your mouth!" Laine: "You really do talk to yourself a lot." Chuta: "Um..." Chuta: "I can't." Laine: "Aw, come on!" Chuta: "I can't." Laine: "I see. Well, this isn't good." Riggs: "What should we tell the higher-ups?" Tonto: "Chief, what if by some insane coincidence, there was a mechanical failure..." Laine: "Oho, I see. If the oxygen in his spacesuit just happens to get depleted," Tonto: "Yup, yup." Laine: "and he's unable to take the qualifying exam, we won't get in trouble with the higher-ups." Chuta: "Um, I can hear everything you're saying!" Misuzu: "I can't agree to this. As you can see from his habit of talking to himself, he suffers from delusions." Voice: "I know this voice." Misuzu: "And apparently he has no hesitations in voicing these delusions. His embarrassment level is ten times higher than the average for middle school students across the country. I believe it's only a matter of time before his existence itself is subject to the Prefectural Ordinance of Juvenile Protection." Chuta: "I don't know who you are, but stop blabbing about me!" Misuzu: "Blabbing?" Chuta: "You don't know anything about me. We won't know I can't do it if I don't even try!" Laine: "I see! So you'll do it! I welcome passionate young men like yourself!" Tonto: "And there you go." Chuta: "I just sort of went with the flow and said I'd do this, but..." Voice: "The qualifying exam seems fun!" Laine: "You're going to arrest a C-rank criminal alien from the planet Chabrol that's hiding on Earth with these. If you do, you'll pass the exam." Chuta: "Handcuffs? Will it cause a fuss?" Laine: "Hm... Well, it is a predatory alien, so it might eat you if you're not careful." Chuta: "What?!" Laine: "Sheronimo." Shero: "Leave it to me, shero. SPH radiation. Changes in the target's particles confirmed." Chuta: "By the way, I never asked where I was going." Voice: "Bright!" Shero: "Starting transfer." Chuta: "Where am I going?" Voice: "Bright!" Chuta: "Ow!" Chuta: "Where am I?" Voice: "This is the third block of Keiki Town." Chuta: "Oh, yeah. This is right by my house. Could the criminal be here?" Voice: "Isn't it funny that there was an alien this close, Chuta?" Chuta: "No, it's not." Voice: "Let's hurry up and find the alien, Chuta." Chuta: "You say that," Chuta: "but how?" Chuta: "Now everyone's starting to look like an alien." Laine: "Hm..." Laine: "Why was he chosen by Mothers?" Harry: "Oh?" Laine: "What is it, Harry?" Harry: "It's about Chuta Kokonose... His thermographic readings are a bit strange for an Earthling..." Laine: "Strange?" Harry: "This part right here that's slightly higher than the rest... It's moving across the surface of his body." Chuta: "Are there really aliens?" Voice: "Oil! I smell oil, Chuta!" Chuta: "I don't smell it." Saotome: "Oh, if it isn't Kokonose-kun..." Tateyan: "Oh, Chuta." Chuta: "Oh, hello." Voice: "Blob-Blob." Chuta: "Um... Are you coming back from karaoke?" Saotome: "It's pretty late, so I'm making sure Tateyan gets back safely." Tateyan: "Isn't it great?" Chuta: "I see..." Voice: "Blob-Blob smells like oil!" Chuta: "I told you, I don't smell any oil." Saotome: "Could you be talking about me?" Chuta: "No, not at all..." Tateyan: "Well, yeah. Saotome-chan smells much better than that." Laine: "Smell? Is he talking about SPH?" Riggs: "That's inconceivable. Earthlings don't have the ability to sense SPH." Voice: "Chuta, I smell oil from Blob-Blob. Blob-Blob smells like oil." Chuta: "Shut up! I'm telling you, nothing smells like oil! Also, it's not Blob-Blob..." Saotome: "Who... Who are you calling Blob-Blob?" Tateyan: "Saotome-chan?" Chuta: "Sensei?" Saotome: "I can't stand being called "Blob-Blob." It's even worse than missing a meal!" Tonto: "It's the Chabrolian!" Maclane: "He found the criminal!" Laine: "Oh?" Chabrolian: "Ugh, how did you find me out?" Voice: "It really was a Blob-Blob, huh, Chuta?" Chuta: "Actually, I'd say it's more Chub-Chub." Chabrolian: "Don't be so rude! That's an ēlDLIVE badge!" Chabrolian: "You're not going to catch me! Come any closer, and I'll kill this brat!" Chuta: "Tateyan!" Tateyan: "H-Help me, Chuta." Tateyan: "Help me, Chuta!" Gucchi: "Help me!" Chuta: "I'll save you!" Voice: "Chuta, the rock on the right..." Chuta: "The right? Got it!" Voice: "No, that one's dangerous!" Chuta: "Something bad's going to happen again..." Voice: "You always say that, Chuta." Chuta: "See! This is exactly why! Someone like me, who keeps hearing this weird voice is absolutely useless! I'll never be able to be a police officer!" Chabrolian: "If you understand, get lost already, ēlDLIVE!" Tateyan: "Wait, Chuta! You're the only one! Please! Help me, Chuta!" Chuta: "I'm the only one who can save him?" Chabrolian: "Shut up!" Chuta: "Tateyan..." Voice: "This isn't good." Chuta: "At this rate, it's going to get us, Chuta." Laine: "I guess this is the end..." Chuta: "If I do something, something bad will happen." Chuta: "That's why, as much as possible, I tried not to get involved with the people around me." Chuta: "But..." Tateyan: "Well, show up if you change your mind. I'm Tateyan." Chuta: "Tateyan, who talked to me despite how I am, is asking me for help." Voice: "We should fall back for now." Chuta: "Can't I save him somehow?" Voice: "Chuta?" Chuta: "You're a part of me, so help me think of a way to save Tateyan!" Voice: "What did you just say, Chuta?" Chuta: "Shut up, and think with me! I'm the only one here! I'm going to save Tateyan!" Voice: "With you?" Voice: "This is strange, Chuta. It's a new sensation." Riggs: "Chuta Kokonose's SPH level is rising." Chuta: "Stop! Let go of Tateyan!" Chabrolian: "Come on. He's gonna snap in half." Chuta: "Stop!" Chabrolian: "Come on..." Chuta: "Stop!" Voice: "Sympathy!" Monitalien: "It's been a while since my symbiotic technique has been activated." Chuta: "Huh?" Chuta: "Wh-What is this?" Laine: "The symbol on its forehead belongs to the Lost Griffith." Laine: "There's only one way we'd see something like that on Earth..." Laine: "A Monitalien!" Riggs: "Monitaliens are organisms sent across various planets to observe those planets by the inhabitants of Griffith, which flourished over four billion years ago." Monitalien: "You have a stupid look on your face right now, Chuta." Chuta: "No way!" Monitalien: "You can see me?" Chuta: "Yeah, I can see you! So the voice that's been talking to me all this time..." Monitalien: "We'll talk later, Chuta." Monitalien: "The Blob-Blob's gonna wake up." Chabrolian: "I don't know what you just did, but you're not going to get away with it!" Chabrolian: "You're not getting away!" Chuta: "Crap! Crap!" Monitalien: "Imagine it, Chuta. Any joint action we take begins as soon as you picture it." Chuta: "Picture?" Chabrolian: "I'll get you this time!" Chuta: "It's coming!" Monitalien: "Look at that thing's body, and imagine how to beat it." Chuta: "Huh?" Chuta: "That thing's body is all flabby and loose..." Chuta: "What if we stitched up its body like a rag?" Monitalien: "Sympathy!" Chabrolian: "I can't breathe!" Monitalien: "The handcuffs, Chuta!" Chuta: "Wh-What..." Chuta: "What are you?" Laine: "A Monitalien that evolved and a special Earthling that is able to bring forth its power..." Laine: "How interesting..." Chuta: "Ow!" Laine: "Chuta Kokonose!" Laine: "You pass the ēlDLIVE qualifying exam!" Chuta: "I pass?" Misuzu: "I'm against this." Chuta: "Wh-What's... Misuzu Sonokata doing here?!" Dolugh: "The sewing really worked, Chuta." Chuta: "Yeah." Laine: "But couldn't you come up with a cooler attack name?" Chuta: "Huh? The sewing wasn't cool?" Laine: "Huh?" Chuta: "Huh?" Dolugh: "Next time on ēlDLIVE, "Super Cool Space Girl.""

Marukobi: "My name is Ichiro Marukobi. They say that there are three other people in the world that look just like you, but in my case, there are quite a few." Shop Keeper: "Thanks for waiting." Marukobi: "I must be special... But up until now, nothing good has happened to me." Marukobi: "Huh?" Melpleian A: "Sorry to keep you waiting." Marukobi: "Wh-Who are you?" Melpleian A: "Oh, stop kidding around. Let's hurry up and go." Marukobi: "Huh? Go?" Marukobi: "Wait..." Marukobi: "Wait. I think you've got the wrong person..." Melpleian A: "You're late." Melpleian B: "Sorry!" Melpleian C: "I thought you weren't going to come." Melpleian A: "Of course I came." Marukobi: "Crap... This isn't good." Melpleian: "Now, let's get started..." Melpleian: "...with this mixer." Marukobi: "M-M... Mixer?!" Misuzu: "This SPH..." Misuzu: "It's like when I was playing in a grassy field when I was a child." Misuzu: "It's a kind scent that I love." Misuzu: "It feels warm and refreshing." Isaac: "All clear. Is there anything else bugging you?" Misuzu: "Not really." Isaac: "For example, are there any instances where there's some SPH that never caught your attention, but now it suddenly makes you uncomfortable?" Misuzu: "Eh?" Love: "Meaning, do any of them smell bad?" Love: "Like Officer Kokonose's SPH." Misuzu: "How did you..." Love: "I had him confess. His SPH's accuracy and intensity have increased. It's like he's matured a little after updating." Misuzu: "It's fine. I can endure Officer Kokonose's smell. It doesn't affect my work." Isaac: "Calm down, Misuzu. We're not trying to take your job." Misuzu: "But..." Love: "Could you just tell us honestly? I'm very interested in this." Isaac: "Right." Misuzu: "When Officer Kokonose showed me the updated Monitalien..." Misuzu: "I smelled something very strong and foul from his SPH." Misuzu: "A smell so powerful that it went up my nose, and it felt like my brain was going to split." Misuzu: "It's very hard to stand in front of him without wearing nose plugs." Love: "I see... I might've been able to narrow down the possible reasons." Love: "Use this." Love: "It's a hairpin-type SPH curtain. It will cut down specific SPH just by having it on." Isaac: "What's the matter?" Misuzu: "Is there any other design? It's not my style. It looks very childish." Veronica: "What do you have on, Misuzu?" Misuzu: "N-Nothing... It's just a hairpin." Veronica: "So that's the kind of thing you're into." Misuzu: "Is there a problem with that?" Veronica: "Not really... just, the fairy-tale look is surprising." Veronica: "Actually, it's pretty childish." chka: "I-I don't think it's weird. I totally understand wanting to change up your hairstyle." chka: "But I... My battle suit is rather revealing and embarrassing... So I don't think I could change my hairstyle enough to cover up all of that." Veronica: "Come to think of it... Officer Kokonose saw you the other day." Veronica: "Now, time for work." Virgil: "I see. So you encountered a purse snatcher. Was there anything in your bag?" chka: "So it was a kidnapping attempt?" Jaeckinian: "There was a groper!" Chuta: "P-Please calm down..." Jaeckinian: "Someone poked my elbow. To us, our elbows are like boobs to you Earthlings!" Chuta: "B-Boobs?! W-Well, we're now going to make a composite sketch of the suspect..." Jaeckinian: "I don't want you! I'll leave it to this handsome fellow over here." Chuta: "Huh?" Chips: "Leave it to me, chu!" Dolugh: "Chuta! Misuzu's looking over here." Chuta: "Huh?" Misuzu: "Good morning." Chuta: "G-Good morning." Dolugh: "Chuta! Misuzu's not wearing nose plugs." Chuta: "Sonokata! If you don't wear nose plugs, my smell..." Misuzu: "What about it?" Chuta: "Huh? Well..." Misuzu: "The nose plugs were just an accessory, and had nothing to do with any smells." Chuta: "Seriously? Then I just had the wrong idea?" Chuta: "I don't stink?" Misuzu: "You do not." Chuta: "Really?" Misuzu: "Yes." Chuta: "What was I so worried about this whole time?!" Chuta: "Huh? It's rare for you to wear something like that..." Misuzu: "Yes, I know it's childish!" Chuta: "Huh?" Misuzu: "I mean... I'm just not very fond of it." Chuta: "Why are you wearing it if you don't like it?" Misuzu: "For my appearance..." Chuta: "Your appearance?" Misuzu: "It doesn't matter. Please leave it alone." Chuta: "Actually, it looks nice on her..." Jaeckinian: "Yes, just like that." Misuzu: "I'm sorry I'm late, Assistant Inspector Chips." Chips: "I was just finishing up a composite sketch of a groper, chu." Chips: "So something like this, chu?" Misuzu: "I saw that face in another division..." Chips: "Chu?" Virgil: "It's the purse snatcher." Chuta: "They look exactly alike." chka: "A baby kidnapping case." Chuta: "The same..." Chuta: "Purse snatching, kidnapping, and groping... To think that the composite sketches were all the same for three different cases..." Veronica: "Does that mean it's the same person?" chka: "I'll try searching for this face among the composite sketches in our database." chka: "Huh? It can't be..." Veronica: "Hey, what's going on?" chka: "I conducted a search for a person who matches this facial data in Shizuoka Prefecture, where the incidents happened, and 152 people showed up." Chuta: "Why are there so many?" Chips: "That's because when aliens like the Dunians, who don't have transformation abilities, come to Earth, they are required to get cosmetic surgery to look like an Earthling for a while." Veronica: "Yeah but they don't need to all have the same face..." Virgil: "The Dunian government is pretty lax, so..." chka: "I'll send them a stern warning about that." Chips: "But this isn't good, chu. If the culprit is among them, it's going to be really hard to find them, chu." Misuzu: "Were there any specific features other than their faces?" chka: "In all three cases, the suspect was wearing a red hoodie and jeans." Veronica: "Was there a SPH signal at the crime scenes?" chka: "Just like Earthlings, they don't emit SPH, so we have no other choice but to interrogate those 152 people." Chuta: "Um... I want to make dinner at home, so will I be able to go home by then?" Chips: "Not happening, chu. But this is for peace throughout the galaxy, chu." Virgil: "Right. That's the spirit!" Veronica: "I'm leaving the interrogations to you guys." Chuta: "Huh?" Chips: "This in an incident involving three divisions of the investigations department, chu. We have to all work together, chu." Veronica: "Well, Misuzu from Division 2 was the first one to realize this, so I don't want to steal her thunder." Virgil: "Yup, yup." Dolugh: "Chuta, it's very apparent that no one wants to do this." Veronica: "Well, we're counting on you, Misuzu." Chips: "We won't be able to do this alone, chu!" Laine: "Investigations department. There was an arson incident on Earth, and there is a possibility that this is an intergalactic incident. Can any division rush over there?" Veronica: "Yes! An exciting assignment!" Virgil: "I'm getting fired up!" Chips: "We can't lose, chu." Misuzu: "Of course not." All: "We'll go!" Laine: "Let's see. What to do..." Love: "If it's an arson case, it's better to let Division 2 go." Veronica: "What?" Virgil: "Why is that?" Love: "It hasn't been very long since Veronica from Division 5 underwent surgery from the remote control SPH case, and she hasn't fully recovered yet." Love: "And I only recently reattached the neck and legs of Virgil from Division 1." Veronica: "But this is nothing." Virgil: "I guess I do owe you my life..." Laine: "We're counting on you, Investigations Division 2." Three: "Yoyosa!" Isaac: "I'm pretty certain that Veronica and Virgil's wounds have completely healed..." Love: "Of course. I'm the one who treated them." Isaac: "Then why..." Love: "I have a feeling that the reason for Officer Kokonose's smell is about to become clear." Misuzu: "Let's go. I believe that smoke is coming from the arson site." Chuta: "Huh?" Chuta: "The police are here." Chips: "A lot of intergalactic crimes are incidents that Earthlings can identify as something that would happen in their own society. So they are reported to the police pretty often, chu." Misuzu: "Let's go." Chuta: "Huh? Where are we going?" Misuzu: "Even if we were to go to the crime scene right now, we can't get close because the police are there." Chips: "So we're going to make a stop, chu." Voice: "Identification complete. You may enter the shop." Dj: "This is DJ Tommy's reader mail corner." Chuta: "What is this place?" Chips: "It's a café where you need an intergalactic passport or an ēlDLIVE badge to enter." Dj: "The next subject is from radio name: Lion Willing to Die-san." Misuzu: "It's a special place where aliens are allowed to be in their natural forms." Dj: ""Hello, DJ Tommy." Chuta: "Who knew a place like this existed..." Dj: "I'm troubled because I've been tasked with something very important." Misuzu: "Let's start our investigation." Chips: "Chuta, you go over there, chu." Dj: "Is there a good way I can get out of doing this task?"" Misuzu: "Well, then..." Misuzu: "We're looking for the suspect in an arson incident. We ask for your cooperation in the investigation." Dj: "Well..." Dj: "I think it's good to try anything with everything you've got while you're young." Octopus-Shaped Alien: "What? Investigation?" Misuzu: "If you just tell me anything you know, this'll be over quickly." Octopus-Shaped Alien: "How annoying." Dj: "As long as that important task doesn't involve you becoming a mafia boss or anything." Misuzu: "If you take an uncooperative attitude, you will be detained on suspicion of enabling a criminal's escape." Octopus-Shaped Alien: "What?!" Chips: "Hold it, Misuzu. That's going a bit overboard, chu." Cow-Head Alien: "You can't make an omelet without milk." Chuta: "Yeah, it makes it so fluffy." Cow-Head Alien: "What are you investigating, moo?" Chuta: "It's an arson..." Cow-Head Alien: "Oh, the arson that happened nearby." Misuzu: "You need to hurry up and answer! Or else..." Chips: "M-Misuzu, calm down, chu." Chuta: "S-Sonokata!" Melpleian A: "You, there... What are you doing to my darling?" Chuta: "A Melpleian robot!" Chips: "No, chu! That's an actual Melpleian, chu!" Melpleian A: "I hope you're prepared..." Chuta: "Oh, did you crochet that pouch? The cross-stitching is so detailed." Melpleian A: "You can tell?" Chuta: "Yeah!" Octopus-Shaped Alien: "My honey made me this awesome outfit, too." Chuta: "Wow, you can even make clothes?" Octopus-Shaped Alien: "My honey is the best in the universe." Chips: "We can probably get information from them now, chu." Melpleian A: "Oh, darling..." Melpleian A: "An arson?" Chips: "We're looking for the suspect, chu." Octopus-Shaped Alien: "Come to think of it, I saw a man in a red hoodie looking around suspiciously near the scene." Misuzu: "A red hoodie!" Chips: "Could it be this man?" Octopus-Shaped Alien: "Yeah, that's the guy." Chips: "What's going on, chu? To think that the arson was also caused by the Dunian in the red hoodie..." Chuta: "Purse snatching, attempted kidnapping, groping... And now arson. If the suspect had the same face and was wearing the same thing in every incident, then..." Chips: "There were 152 Dunians that showed up at the bureau alone, chu. Just because they have the same face and clothes, it won't be enough to determine that they're the same person, chu." Misuzu: "Anyway, let's go to the crime scene. It's possible that the suspect is still nearby." Chips: "Chu?!" Hidaru: "Hey, kids. Do you have a moment?" Hidaru: "I have something to ask you. Did you happen to see anyone suspicious nearby?" Misuzu: "Just you." Hidaru: "You got me there. I'm a police officer with the Shizuoka prefectural police." Hidaru: "There was a fire nearby. It seems to be an arson incident, so we're looking for the suspect." Chuta: "W-We don't know anything about it." Misuzu: "We're just passing through." Hidaru: "I see. That's good, then. Because they say that suspects usually return to the crime scene." Hidaru: "Did you guys have some business here? That's Shirobori Middle School's uniform, isn't it?" Hidaru: "That's pretty far from here." Chuta: "U-Um, well..." Dolugh: "He's suspecting you, Chuta." Chuta: "We..." Misuzu: "We're on a date." Hidaru: "Well, aren't you a lovely couple? But where are you going on said date?" Misuzu: "The movie theater nearby. We're going to see the rescreening of Adults Just Don't Understand at Fujiyama Cinema." Misuzu: "Right, Chu-kun?" Hidaru: "A rescreening of a movie, eh?" Misuzu: "Yes. Chu-kun loves that movie." Hidaru: "I see. Just a moment, then. I'm going to confirm that it's actually playing." Chuta: "H-H-Her chest..." Chuta: "Sonokata's chest!" Misuzu: "All right. Please hurry or we might not make it in time for the screening." Dolugh: "Your heart is beating too fast, Chuta." Hidaru: "Oh, it's definitely playing." Lady Cop: "Hidaru-san." Lady Cop: "We found someone suspicious." Hidaru: "Sorry to bother you two. Make sure you don't get home too late." Misuzu: "Okay." Chips: "That was close, chu." Misuzu: "Thanks for the movie information." Chips: "No problem at all, chu." Misuzu: "Is something wrong?" Chips: "Misuzu, turn around slowly, chu." Misuzu: "That face..." Chips: "And he's wearing a red hoodie and jeans, chu." Misuzu: "Let's flank him. I'll go from behind." Dolugh: "Chuta, get ahold of yourself." Chuta: "I-I can still feel her chest on my arm..." Dolugh: "Lower your heart rate! At this rate, you're going to die!" Chuta: "Th-They were so soft..." Dolugh: "Don't you need to carry out your mission?" Chuta: "I-I know. The suspect's over there, right?" Chuta: "Wha... Crap!" Chuta: "This is Kokonose. The suspect got away." Chips: "What happened, chu?" Chuta: "I was sort of out of it... I'm sorry! This is my mistake!" Chuta: "I can't let him escape because of me..." Chuta: "Dolugh, wings!" Dolugh: "Sympathy!" Dolugh: "Dolugh, speed up!" Dolugh: "Sympathy!" Chuta: "All right, we can do this!" Woody: "H-Hey, are you..." Chips: "What are you doing, chu?" Misuzu: "If you move, I will cut you." Woody: "SPH..." Misuzu: "We're the Space Police, ēlDLIVE!" Misuzu: "Will you accompany us to the bureau? We have a lot of questions for you." Woody: "That's..." Woody: "...my line!" Woody: "I have so much I want to tell you!" Chips: "What's going on, chu?" Chuta: "Your intergalactic passport was stolen?" Woody: "Yeah. Without that, I can't prove that I'm a Dunian, and I can't report to ēlDLIVE." Misuzu: "And because you were panicked, you tried purse snatching and groping so you'd get reported to ēlDLIVE." Woody: "More importantly, please hurry up and catch the culprit. A weird Earthling that was at a mixer stole it." Chuta: "Huh? Earthling?" chka: "What's the meaning of this, Ichiro Marukobi-san?" Marukobi: "Aw, man. I guess I've been found out. It was finally getting interesting, too." Veronica: "So why did you steal the passport?" Marukobi: "Everything started because I was mistaken as someone else and taken to a mixer." Marukobi: "I found out that everyone there other than me was an alien, and I was super surprised." Marukobi: "And then I borrowed the passport I found there, and researched a bunch of stuff. From there, I felt like I was the protagonist in a SF movie." Marukobi: "I knew there was some important reason that I was born with this face! Finding aliens disguised as humans is a huge deal! I even found out space police existed!" Chips: "And that settles that, chu." Chuta: "Sonokata, thanks for earlier." Misuzu: "Huh?" Chuta: "We almost lost the suspect because of my mistake. Thank you." Misuzu: "I-It's nothing..." Chuta: "I wonder what's wrong." Chuta: "Usually, she'd say something really mean right about now." Misuzu: "Psychogenic?" Isaac: "Perhaps you felt a bit of panic when you saw Chuta maturing. He solved a case while you weren't around, and you felt some pressure at the fact that Chuta was maturing, so your sense of panic affected your sense of smell." Misuzu: "Th-That's... Is there any proof of this?" Love: "Yes." Misuzu: "Pervert!" Love: "Oh, sorry. Actually, at the point Officer Kokonose made a mistake at the scene today, the SPH curtain stopped working." Misuzu: "What?" Isaac: "You were able to accept the smell without the help of the SPH curtain." Love: "I believe that your panic went away when he made the mistake, and your sense of smell went back to normal after that." Misuzu: "No way..." Love: "It's the undeniable truth." Misuzu: "Which means... the reason for the smell was because of me," Misuzu: "and somewhere in my heart, I was hoping that Officer Kokonose would fail." Misuzu: "I'm..." Misuzu: "...the worst!" Love: "Don't get the wrong idea." Love: "You aren't hoping that your coworker will fail. What's at the foundation of this is a sense of annoyance towards yourself." Isaac: "When you saw Chuta maturing next to you, your urge to mature yourself also intensified. That's a very natural thing." Isaac: "Chuta can also be very mysterious. He's able to somehow pull up the people around him." Love: "Right." Love: "There's proof that you don't actually want him to fail." Love: "You should still be smelling that bad smell from him just slightly." Misuzu: "I just thought that this device wasn't able to completely make it go away..." Love: "If that smell was due to someone else's failure, there'd be nothing you could do." Love: "This is a scent that only your growth can change. It may completely disappear someday, or perhaps it will become as comforting as the smell of a grassy field back home." Laine: "Hey, Misuzu. I received a report about the arson incident from Chips. Well done." Misuzu: "Chief Laine..." Laine: "Keep up the good work." Misuzu: "Yoyosa!" Laine: "Oh, also... That hairpin really suits you." Misuzu: "I have to doubt your sense of style, Chief." Laine: "That's it. That attitude describes you perfectly, Misuzu." Misuzu: "The reason for Officer Kokonose's smell was completely me..." Laine: "I'm counting on you." Tonto: "Yoyosa!" Laine: "Hey, you're here." Vega: "Pardon me..." Tonto: "Chief Laine! The Red Bean Paste Mochi Galaxy lies before us!" Laine: "What?! That's an emergency! We have to eat all of it before they go bad! Oh, man!" Dolugh: "Next time on ēlDLIVE, "Your Voice...""

Chuta: "Hold it!" Dolugh: "Are you sure you shouldn't call Misuzu and the others for backup, Chuta?" Chuta: "I can handle an incident like this on my own. And I'm not in Investigations Division 2 right now." Chuta: "I'm going to Investigations Division 4?" Laine: "Division 4's had some openings for a while now. It's just a temporary assignment." Dolugh: "Who's in Division 4?" Chuta: "Come to think of it, I don't know of anyone." Laine: "Inspector Vega from Division 4 is hurrying to the scene of the crime right now. Please hurry and head over there, too." Chuta: "Yoyosa!" Dolugh: "Chuta!" Chuta: "Yeah!" Chuta: "This is ēlDLIVE! You have the right to..." Chuta: "I forgot my badge!" Dolugh: "Chuta!" Chuta: "Hold it!" Alien: "SPH..." Chuta: "He's a fast one..." Dolugh: "Then we should use that." Chuta: "Yeah." Dolugh: "Sympathy!" Chuta: "Freezing gum off!" Alien: "Tch!" Chuta: "You can't escape!" Chuta: "Huh?!" Dolugh: "That's a body substitution technique." Alien: "You're finished, ēlDLIVE." Vega: "Thank goodness I made it in time." Alien: "Reinforcements?" Vega: "Are you hurt, Officer Kokonose?" Vega: "I'm Inspector Vega Victor from the ēlDLIVE Solar System Bureau Investigations Division 4." Chuta: "Inspector Vega Victor?" Dolugh: "So he's the head of Division 4?" Alien: "SPH... Luce Bomber!" Vega: "SPH Rosso Assalto." Vega: "You should give up." Vega: "You're just going to add to your crimes." Alien: "I messed up..." Alien: "I guess this is the end for me." Dolugh: "Chuta, it's that mark." Chuta: "DeMille..." Alien: "Come on, kill me! I'm just going to be eliminated anyway!" Vega: "Knowing everything you've done, I would love to simply kill you." Vega: "I even have that authority." Vega: "But..." Dolugh: "He's going to explode, Chuta!" Chuta: "Look out!" Vega: "...I won't allow you to die." Vega: "You're going to live and atone for your crimes." Chuta: "Wow..." Vega: "We don't have enough personnel in our division right now." Vega: "I know it's only temporary, but it's a great help that you've come to Division 4." Chuta: "Um... Section Chief Vega... I'd also like to thank you for today." Vega: "Huh? For what?" Chuta: "You saved me from a tight spot..." Vega: "Oh, that. Don't worry about it." Chuta: "But if you hadn't arrived back then, I..." Vega: "It's only natural for a senior agent to help out a junior agent, right?" Vega: "We're part of the Investigations Division 4 team." Vega: "Chuta!" Chuta: "Yes!" Vega: "We're also close in age, so I'm going to call you Chuta from now on. So you can just call me Vega, too. No need to be so formal." Chuta: "Yes..." Vega: "You're so stiff. You can just say "yeah."" Chuta: "Okay." Vega: "Good!" Dolugh: "There's a warm feeling welling up inside you, Chuta. It's like the feeling you have for Mimi, but slightly different." Chuta: "I wonder if this is what it feels like to have a brother." Tateyan: "Chuta! Want to go to the art museum this weekend?" Chuta: "The art museum?" Tateyan: "I glanced at the poster for the exhibit they're doing right now, and it's awesome! Takkun said he'd go, too." Chuta: "Yeah, sure. That's fine..." Veronica: "Tateyan wants to go to the art museum?" chka: "That's rather surprising." Veronica: "Misuzu, you've been sneaking after Chuta lately. What are you up to?" Misuzu: "I'm not being sneaky." Toku-Chan: "Oh, my. Who's that? That hot guy!" Shizu: "Toku-chan, calm down." Chuta: "Vega." Vega: "Hey, Chuta." Tateyan: "You know him, Chuta?" Chuta: "Y-Yeah... U-Um..." Vega: "I'm Chuta's cousin, Vega." Vega: "Nice to meet you." Tateyan: "Vega? That's a cool name!" Shizu: "I wonder if he's a high school student." Toku-Chan: "We got a hottie in glasses here!" chka: "It seems that Chuta-san and Vega-san are getting along very well." Veronica: "Misuzu, aren't you lonely without Chuta around?" Misuzu: "It's time to go to work, so please excuse me." Misuzu: "Which means... the reason for the smell was because of me..." Love: "What's at the foundation of this is a sense of annoyance towards yourself." Isaac: "When you saw Chuta maturing next to you, your urge to mature yourself also intensified. That's a very natural thing." Laine: "Misuzu!" Laine: "Have you seen Chuta?" Misuzu: "No..." Laine: "Well, when you do see him, could you give him this? I wanted to give him this earlier, but it took a while to get clearance from the higher-ups." Misuzu: "I'm sorry for all of the trouble I caused about the smell. I'm sorry for all of the trouble I caused about the smell." Misuzu: "Okay." Misuzu: "Officer Kokonose." Vega: "Hello, Officer Sonokata. Did you need something from Chuta?" Misuzu: "No. It's nothing important." Vega: "Sorry that I'm borrowing Chuta for so long." Misuzu: "It's fine... I don't care if he just stays in Division 4 from now on." Vega: "That would actually make me very happy." Misuzu: "Um, is Officer Kokonose..." Vega: "He's... on something of an investigation. Oh, look at the time. I've got to go." Vega: "Sorry to keep you waiting." Tateyan: "You're late, Veeyan." Vega: "Sorry, sorry." Chuta: "Beeyan?" Tateyan: "Beeyan because his name is Vega. Oh, this is your first time meeting Takkun, right?" Vega: "Ah, yes." Love: "Nice to meet you, Senpai." Vega: "Hi..." Dolugh: "Though Love is actually way older than him." Chuta: "Well, he is 500 years old..." Tateyan: "Well, let's go." Tateyan: "I'm so excited." Three: "Yeah." Veronica: "Just how childish are they, turning red just from looking at that?" Tateyan: "Hey, doesn't this look like Ninotchka-chan? Hey, Chuta." Chuta: "N-Now that you mention it, I think you might be right." Dolugh: "Chuta, your heart rate is high." Tateyan: "This one is Misuzu Sonokata." Love: "Indeed. It does look like her." Chuta: "That means..." Chuta: "That's super convincing!" Dolugh: "Well, there's nothing strange about Dr. Love having seen everyone's body." Tateyan: "This one is Veronica-chan." Tateyan: "So audacious." Love: "Indeed. It matches." Chuta: "Really?!" Veronica: "What are you talking about?!" Tateyan & Chuta: "Huh?" Chuta: "Veronica!" Love: "Hey, so you girls came, as well." Veronica: "I have a much hotter body than that!" Tateyan: "Much more?!" Chuta: "Wh-What are they doing here?" Vega: "It's not me! I didn't tell them anything." Veronica: "Guys are so stupid. Look at them, breathing so hard." Misuzu: "I've known for a long time that Officer Kokonose was a pervert." Chuta: "Wha... That's not..." Dolugh: "You can't really say anything back this time." chka: "How surprising. I thought you were more mature, Vega-san." Veronica: "He's the same! He's not much older Chuta." Vega: "W-Well, you know... I'm just here as a guardian." Veronica: "Wow, making excuses. Pathetic." Misuzu: "You're awful." Veronica: "Why are guys always like this?" Vega: "Do you have to go that far?" Misuzu: "Disappear without leaving a trace." Chuta: "ēlDLIVE is hiding what happened at the Mount Taketori incident?" Misuzu: "Displaying your badge's monitor in a place where civilians gather is against the rules." Subordinate: "Captain, we have a telegram from HQ." Gucchi: "Bring it up." Subordinate: "It looks like there's a new plan for us to head to Earth again." Gucchi: "Huh... I wonder why our boss is so obsessed with a remote planet like that?" Subordinate: "I wonder if there's treasure there." Gucchi: "And the reason why DeMille saved me at Mount Taketori is still a mystery..." Subordinate: "This time, we're invading Earth for real!" Gucchi: "This isn't good. I need to hurry up and tell Chuta." Chuta: "I wonder what this email is about. Does this mean that ēlDLIVE knows something about the Mount Taketori incident and is hiding it?" Dolugh: "But Laine hasn't said anything." Chuta: "Is this supposed to be top secret, too?" Vega: "Whoa, there." Chuta: "S-Sorry." Vega: "It's fine." Dolugh: "Chuta, look!" Chuta: "Oh, this is..." Chuta: "From when we all went to the art museum. Are these research documents, too?" Vega: "O-Of course. Well, you know, we need to know about Earth's culture when we're investigating." Dolugh: "That's definitely a lie." Chuta: "Do you ever have any doubts about ēlDLIVE, Vega?" Vega: "Where did that come from?" Chuta: "For example... if they knew valuable information and didn't tell you..." Vega: "It's true that management tends to hide things. But I think that if you have time to have doubts, you'd be better off doing some investigating on your own." Chuta: "Investigating on my own..." Chuta: "What's the current case? Does it involve DeMille?" Vega: "Yeah. As long as they exist in space, there'll never be true peace." Vega: "If it's to eradicate them, I might even give up my life." Dolugh: "What are you planning to do, Chuta?" Chuta: "First, I'm going to find the person who sent me that message." Chuta: "If I look into where this message came from, I might be able to find some clues." Dolugh: "You're not going to report to Laine?" Chuta: "Even if I did, he wouldn't tell me anything." Chuta: "Vega said it, too. It's better if I investigate on my own. Since it was sent to my police badge," Chuta: "the sender is one of the personnel aboard the Jeanrenoi-R." Laine: "What is it?" Mcclane: "The communication device is malfunctioning!" Tonto: "The SPH compass system has stopped working." Laine: "Méliès, what happened?" Melies: "Chief, this is a computer virus." Laine: "Where did it originate?" Melies: "From the data processing room." Laine: "Isolate the main system! Switch over to the backup system!" Riggs: "Yoyosa!" Laine: "Security team, hurry over to the data processing room!" Taro: "Officer Kokonose?" Chuta: "Y-Yes?" Laine: "The origin is Chuta's police badge?" Riggs: "It can't be..." Taro: "Officer Kokonose is saying that he only connected to the terminal to confirm the sender of an email that he got." Laine: "Email?" Laine: "Now what?" Tonto: "There's a huge heat source reading. It's right in front of the Jeanrenoi-R." Laine: "What's that ship?" Riggs: "It should be impossible to warp out this close to another ship." Melies: "They apparently targeted us in the brief window when were switching systems because of the virus, while the SPH monitoring radar was off." Harry: "There's a high-energy reading within the ship." Riggs: "Chief, that's..." Laine: "Emergency evasive maneuvers!" Laine: "Damage report!" Riggs: "There's a lot of damage to the port-side engine." Marley: "The community safety section has several wounded!" Personnel: "This is the engine room! Requesting immediate aid!" Taro: "Wh-What the?!" Laine: "Send the rescue squad to tend to the wounded!" Chuta: "Wh-What happened?" Demille Jr: "This is a message for ēlDLIVE." Demille Jr: "I am the DeMille Solar System Commander, DeMille Junior." Chuta: "DeMille?" Laine: "That was quite the introduction." Demille Jr: "I don't like formalities." Laine: "What's your goal? I'm sure you want something if you stopped your attack while we're in this state." Demille Jr: "Impressive, Chief. You understand quickly." Demille Jr: "Hand over the Monitalien that's in your possession, along with its host, Chuta Kokonose." Demille Jr: "If you resist, we will target Earth and start our attack." Chuta: "No..." Laine: "What do you plan to do with the Monitalien?" Demille Jr: "Let's just say that the updated Monitalien is valuable to us." Laine: "Did you really think we'd comply with such demands?" Demille Jr: "Your power has already been pushed to its limits. Resistance is futile." Love: "True, with our current equipment, it'd be impossible to compete with them." Love: "However, I still have research facilities left all over Earth." Love: "With that equipment, it's possible to attack the exoatmosphere." Love: "Shutting down the main gun of a DeMille ship would be easy." Love: "Chief, make your decision." Demille Jr: "There's no need to even think about this. You don't have any choice in this matter." Laine: "Right... It seems that way." Laine: "There was only one answer to begin with." Laine: "Everyone to their battle stations! Our target's right in front of us, the DeMille ship!" All: "Yoyosa!" Laine: "Fire volley!" Laine: "Dr. Love." Riggs: "Okay." Tonto: "All right! We did it!" Laine: "What's wrong?" Mcclane: "Well, it appears that DeMille ships have appeared all across the Earth." Laine: "So it wasn't just one ship?" Love: "They put one over on us." Demille Jr: "I told you that resistance was futile. I'll give you one hour. You need to hand over the Monitalien and Chuta Kokonose by then. Once the time comes, we will attack the Earth." Riggs: "An hour..." Utah: "We can't do anything in an hour." Harry: "It's almost going to be 59 minutes." Mcclane: "This all happened because of Chuta! Maybe he's connected with DeMille." Tonto: "Of course he isn't!" Laine: "Calm down." Chuta: "Chief Laine!" Chuta: "This... This is all my fault, right?" Laine: "Chuta..." Chuta: "Because of me, everyone on Earth is in danger." Vega: "Calm down, Chuta." Chuta: "Everyone..." Chuta: "I should just go to DeMille. That'll solve everything." Vega: "Chuta..." Chuta: "Chief, hurry and hand me over to DeMille." Chips: "Get a hold of yourself, chu! This isn't just your problem anymore, Officer Kokonose." Chuta: "Assistant Inspector Chips..." Vega: "Chief. Why don't we transfer Officer Kokonose to Earth, just in case?" Chuta: "Huh?" Vega: "We can keep him out of sight from DeMille's better there than we can here." Laine: "Right... Chips. Go to the Space Café and hide along with Chuta. Don't make any moves until I give the order." Chips: "Yoyosa!" Chuta: "P-Please wait!" Chips: "Chu..." Chips: "There isn't a single person around, chu. This is a huge deal, chu." Chips: "Officer Kokonose?" Mimi: "Dear Chuta... I've gone to the school's gymnasium for shelter." Dolugh: "Sounds like Mimi is safe." Chuta: "It's happening again..." Chuta: "I did something that I shouldn't have again." Dolugh: "Chuta... I'm starting to disappear. Don't lose your confidence, Chuta!" Chuta: "I... How could I have..." People: "What's going on?" Chuta: "What is this?" Dolugh: "It's Gucchi!" Chuta: "Huh?" Dolugh: "I can read it... Gucchi must have written this message." Chuta: "What does it say?" Dolugh: ""DeMille is on the move. They're after... Dolugh." "And there's a spy within ēlDLIVE." "Be extremely careful. The spy's name is..."" Chuta: "Dolugh? What's wrong, Dolugh?" Chuta: "Dolugh!" Chuta: "Dolugh!" Chuta: "D-Dolugh..." Vega: "Chuta." Vega: "You were told to hide in the Space Café, weren't you?" Chuta: "Vega..." Chuta: "What should I do?" Vega: "Chuta..." Chuta: "Hey, tell me. What would you do at a time like this?" Vega: "Well, I would..." Misuzu: "Officer Kokonose." Vega: "What are you doing here?" Misuzu: "The same as you, Inspector Vega. I was worried about Officer Kokonose, and I'm sure everyone at the bureau is, as well." Chuta: "No one cares about me one way or another..." Chuta: "You know, don't you, Sonokata?" Chuta: "I was involved in an accident on Mount Taketori in the past." Chuta: "And one of my friends ended up an executive officer at DeMille." Chuta: "It wouldn't be weird if ēlDLIVE was looking into all of this, would it?" Chuta: "But Chief Laine, along with everyone else, won't tell me anything." Misuzu: "Officer Kokonose." Misuzu: "Chief Laine gave this to me. I'm sorry that I couldn't give it to you sooner." Misuzu: "This is ēlDLIVE's complete case file concerning the incident on Mount Taketori." Laine: "I knew right after Chuta joined that the Mount Taketori incident was in ēlDLIVE's jurisdiction. But one of his friends was alive, and ended up working for DeMille, of all things." Laine: "I'm sure he's pretty confused about all of this, too. I wanted to eventually tell him when the time was right, but..." Misuzu: "As you said, Officer Kokonose, the details surrounding that case are still unknown." Misuzu: "But it appears that it's been confirmed that aliens are somehow involved." Chuta: "Chief Laine thought that much about me?" Chuta: "And yet, I..." Misuzu: "Officer Kokonose. The one thing that you can do right now is protect the Earth" Misuzu: "as a member of ēlDLIVE." Chuta: "That's right. I can't give up just yet!" Chuta: "That's right. I can't give up just yet." Chuta: "I'm going to get through this as a member of ēlDLIVE." Chuta: "Let's go, Sonokata!" Misuzu: "Next time on ēlDLIVE," Misuzu And Chuta: ""Our sympathy.""

Chips: "Officer Kokonose, where have you been? We were worried about you, chu." Chuta: "I'm sorry..." Alien A: "I heard that DeMille's after some brat named Chuta Kokonose." Alien B: "We should just hand him over." Guillermo: "Stop it. It's not like DeMille will keep their promise if we hand the kid over." Alien A: "Hey, they're..." Alien B: "...from DeMille..." Demille Soldier A: "Apparently the Monitalien and its host are hiding here." Demille Solider B: "It'll be bad news for you if you're hiding them." Alien A: "Monitalien? What are you talking about?" Chips: "DeMille managed to find this place, chu." Misuzu: "It seems a bit early for that to happen." Guillermo: "Even if we knew, we wouldn't tell you." Demille Solider A: "What?" Guillermo: "Get the hell outta here." Demille Solider A: "This is what happens when you defy us." Del Toro: "You bastard!" Chuta: "I'm right here!" Misuzu: "Don't." Chuta: "Everyone else has nothing to do with this. Leave them alone." Demille Soldier A: "So you're Chuta Kokonose." Demille Solider A: "How nice of you to identify yourself." Chuta: "I don't plan on being that cooperative." Chuta: "I'm a part of ēlDLIVE. It's my duty to protect everyone here." Demille Solider A: "How are you going to protect them all by yourself?" Misuzu: "He's not the only one from ēlDLIVE here." Chuta: "Sonokata!" Misuzu: "You stay back!" Vega: "That's enough, Officer Sonokata." Chuta: "Vega?" ewscaster: "The identity of the flying object that has appeared in the sky is still a mystery. It has been reported that similar incidents are occurring all over the world." Mimi: "Chuta..." ewscaster: "The governments..." Laine: "Any movement from the DeMille ship?" Tonto: "There are no signs of it coming after us." Riggs: "In our current situation, we aren't going to be able to get very far. Looks like they've got us figured out." Chips: "Inspector Vega? What are you—" Chuta: "What are you doing, Vega?" Vega: "While investigating the mysterious message he got," Vega: "Chuta Kokonose ends up infecting the Jeanrenoi-R's system with a virus and putting Earth in danger... He just couldn't handle the guilt anymore, and... This is what you were supposed to think: "If I hand myself over to DeMille, everyone will be okay." Actually, I'm positive that you've thought that once already." Chuta: "Vega?" Vega: "And to think..." Vega: "...that's how you were going to act." Vega: "However, if you've gone off script, we just need to rewrite the scenario." Chips: "Chu!" Chuta: "Sonokata, what are you..." Misuzu: "Do you still not understand? Inspector Vega... That man is working for DeMille." Chuta: "Vega... works for DeMille?" Chuta: "No..." Dolugh: ""And there's a spy within ēlDLIVE." "Be extremely careful. The spy's name is..."" Chuta: "Vega? You're joking, right? You can't be a spy..." Chuta: "You tricked me?" Vega: "You and Dolugh will be coming to DeMille. If you resist, I'll have to hurt you, but just enough that you won't die." Vega: "Chuta..." Chuta: "He's gone..." Chuta: "Dolugh's gone..." Vega: "What are you talking about?" Chuta: "Dolugh has..." Chuta: "Dolugh has disappeared from within me." Vega: "Are you actually trying to bluff now? We'll know soon enough when we check." Chuta: "If you want to take me, go ahead." Chuta: "That is, if I still have any worth left without Dolugh." Vega: "You are really throwing off my plans." Vega: "I'll give you another thirty minutes." Vega: "You have until then to bring Dolugh back and bring him here." Vega: "If you don't, everyone will die." Chuta: "Sonokata, are you okay?" Misuzu: "Yes..." Misuzu: "More importantly, is that true about Dolugh?" Guillermo: "Hey, kid." Guillermo: "You're pretty tough." Misuzu: "If you come any closer, I'll attack." Del Toro: "Calm down. We aren't the enemy." Guillermo: "Hey, is there anything that we can do?" Veronica: "Does that Vega belong to DeMille?" Virgil: "Impossible. We worked together in the investigations department. He's one of us." Misuzu: "There is no mistake that Inspector Vega is a member of DeMille." Chips: "We were attacked, chu!" Tonto: "But that's..." Misuzu: "It is also believed that he was the one who sent Officer Kokonose to infect the bureau's system." chka: "I thought that DeMille personnel have a recorder and a bomb planted within them..." Isaac: "Nothing has ever been detected within Inspector Vega's body." Riggs: "We checked out his family, as well. There are no connections to any criminal organizations." Laine: "I know his father. He was a former ēlDLIVE detective, and a very respectable man." Tonto: "So nothing suspicious about him at all..." Mcclane: "How could he be a spy if his record's perfectly clean?" Love: "Of course he's perfectly clean." Laine: "Dr. Love, what do you mean?" Love: "Do you really think a criminal organization sending a spy into the police, would leave him easily traceable?" Riggs: "You've got a point..." Love: "Vega might have been "kusa."" Laine: "Kusa?" Love: "During the Warring States Period in Japan, there were shinobi known as kusa, or grass. After sneaking into enemy territory, they would blend in with the farmers, create families, and then their mission would be handed down to their children. It's possible that not only his father, who was an ēlDLIVE detective, but one of his grandparents might also have been a DeMille spy. That fate might have been handed down to Vega's generation." Virgil: "It's almost like a time bomb that was planted into ēlDLIVE..." chka: "To think that Vega-san was... I still can't believe it." Misuzu: "I feel the same way. However, it's true that he has betrayed ēlDLIVE, and the Earth is in danger." Chuta: "I can't forgive Vega." Laine: "Chuta..." Chuta: "I want to arrest Vega, and make him apologize." Chuta: "And more than anything, I want to protect the Earth... protect everyone." Veronica: "Why are you stating the obvious?" Chuta: "Huh?" chka: "That's right, Chuta-san. Everyone here feels exactly the same way." Chips: "That's right, chu! We're Space Police ēlDLIVE, chu!" Riggs: "Right, Chief?" Laine: "Of course." Love: "Now, then. The problem is how we're going to approach this when we're obviously outgunned." Chuta: "I actually have an idea regarding that." Laine: "Idea?" Chuta: "Actually..." Subordinate A: "You weren't able to capture the Monitalien?" Vega: "I'm very sorry. But Chuta Kokonose—" Subordinate B: "I guess you're just a miserable little spy, after all." Demille Jr: "Either way, that planet will soon be a sea of flames." Demille Jr: "I can't wait to see it..." Demille Jr: "The sight of the Earthlings running around." Laine: "All personnel to their battle stations." Laine: "We will begin our attack on the DeMille ship shortly. Civilians and those with injuries, get to safety! All those who can fight, check your equipment and wait for orders." Riggs: "But are you sure this will work? Using those guys..." Laine: "There are aliens who have a grudge against DeMille hiding all over the world. Their numbers are great." Guillermo: "Those DeMille bastards! Today's the day that I'm gonna show 'em who's boss!" Laine: "If they help us out, we have a chance at winning this fight. Though I'm probably going to have to write a formal apology for this, no matter what." Chuta: "Chief Laine!" Laine: "You're back, Chuta." Chuta: "Let me fight, too!" Laine: "It's too dangerous for you, since you don't have Dolugh." Chuta: "I know that..." Chuta: "But Vega..." Chuta: "I want to settle this myself!" Misuzu: "To be honest, you're just going to be in the way." Misuzu: "However, if it was an order from the chief..." Misuzu: "I would have no objections to backing up Officer Kokonose." Chips: "We're all part of Division 2, chu!" Chuta: "Sonokata... Assistant Inspector Chips..." Laine: "Take this with you." Chuta: "What's this?" Laine: "It's a special gun that can shoot SPH energy. You probably need that right now, don't you?" Chuta: "Thank you very much." All: "All personnel, ready!" Laine: "We will now begin our final battle with the DeMille ship. Our objective is to arrest Inspector Vega and DeMille Junior." All: "Yoyosa!" Demille Jr: "How's the Earth suppression squad?" Subordinate B: "They are ready to go at any time." Vega: "Please wait! There is still time until the deadline!" Demille Jr: "Begin!" Subordinate B: "Yes, sir!" Demille Jr: "What the?" Subordinate B: "ēlDLIVE is attacking, sir." Subordinate A: "What can a damaged ship do?" Gunner: "That visual's just a fake!" Subordinate A: "What?" Subordinate B: "Now what?" Operator: "The Jeanrenoi-R is coming from a different direction!" Laine: "ēlmeizer cannons at full power! Fire!" Demille Jr: "Evade!" Operator: "It's no use! We won't make it in time!" Operator: "The main engine has been heavily damaged." Tonto: "This ship is my body. The laser cannons are my paw pads!" Magnoli: "Barrier SPH output is full." Laine: "Here we go! Charge right into them!" Operator: "Captain! They're ramming us!" Demille Jr: "Shoot them down!" Operator: "We won't make it in time!" Veronica: "Investigations Division 5 is inside the enemy ship!" Virgil: "Investigations Division 1 is inside." Chips: "Investigations Division 2, also inside, chu." Love: "I've scanned the inside of the ship." Love: "DeMille Junior is there." Communications Solider: "ēlDLIVE has infiltrated our ship!" Demille Jr: "Find them and fire! Kill them all! Earth suppression squad, burn every part of the Earth!" Comms: "This is the Earth suppression squad. We are currently being attacked by unknown enemies." Guillermo: "Here we go!" Sheronimo: "Shero, shero, shero, shero, shero." Demille Soldier 1: "They've taken over the ship!" Demille Solider 2: "How many of them are there?" Veronica: "Obrót Akcja!" Demille Soldiers: "SPH." chka: "Veronica!" Veronica: "Thanks, Nino." Chips: "Leave this to me, and you two run ahead, chu." Chuta: "Assistant Inspector Chips!" Misuzu: "We're counting on you." Chips: "Finally... It's time for me to reveal my true power. SPH weapon standby, chu." Chips: "Program drive, chu!" Chips: "Chu..." Chuta: "Vega!" Vega: "Has Dolugh come back, Chuta?" Vega: "This isn't what you promised." Vega: "Let's end this." Chuta: "Vega!" Vega: "My father gave his all to the very end as an ēlDLIVE detective." Vega: "And that's what I wanted to do, too." Chuta: "Vega..." Vega: "Not a DeMille spy... I wanted to be a police officer to the end." Vega: "And yet... you appeared." Vega: "Everything is ruined..." Vega: "...all because of you!" Chuta: "Why didn't you try to quit being a spy? You don't have a recorder or a bomb planted inside you, right?!" Vega: "DeMille is watching all of my family back on my home planet." Chuta: "Your family?" Vega: "Which means they're hostages." Chuta: "No..." Vega: "If you were in the same position as me, there's no way that you'd defy DeMille." Chuta: "That might have been true..." Chuta: "...before I joined ēlDLIVE. But now, I'm different! No matter how dire the circumstances, I'm not going to give up until the very end!" Vega: "You say that so lightly." Vega: "And what happens if you don't give up?" Chuta: "I'm going to defeat the bad guys..." Chuta: "...and save the people who're important to me!" Vega: "Both? That's rather greedy." Chuta: "You might be right..." Chuta: "But I'm not going to regret it..." Chuta: "I want to eat pasta, curry, and hamburg steak... But if I have to pick one, and if I'm going to end up regretting not picking the curry later," Chuta: "I should just make all of them!" Misuzu: "Officer Kokonose..." Chuta: "To regret not doing something..." Chuta: "I never, ever, ever, ever... ...wanna do that again!" Dolugh: "Sympathy!" Chuta: "Dolugh!" Dolugh: "Eating pasta, curry, and hamburg steak is definitely eating too much, Chuta." Chuta: "Nah. If I can't eat it all, I'll just share it with the neighbors." Misuzu: "Officer Kokonose!" Vega: "I'm happy that Dolugh came back. Now I can take you to DeMille." Chuta: "Like hell I'm going to DeMille!" Vega: "Sadly, I don't care how you feel." Vega: "I will complete my mission and continue living as a member of DeMille." Chuta: "That's..." Chuta: "...wrong! No matter what!" Misuzu: "Salmon." Misuzu: "Officer Kokonose, take this!" Chuta: "Sonokata..." Misuzu: "I'm entrusting everything to you. Arrest Inspector Vega without a trace." Vega: "Let's end this, Chuta." Dolugh: "Chuta, I'm near my limit! We'll end this with a final blow!" Chuta: "Here we go, Dolugh!" Vega: "This is the end!" Dolugh: "Chuta!" Misuzu: "Officer Kokonose!" Chuta; Misuzu; Dolugh: "Sympathy!" Vega: "Wh-What is this power?" Chuta: "I won't lose!" Demille Jr: "Let go! I'm going to run!" Exec A: "Junior-sama." Exec B: "This sets a bad example for your subordinates!" Veronica: "Found you!" chka: "We're ēlDLIVE." Chips: "Say your prayers, chu." Vega: "I'll finally be freed from this pain..." Chuta: "Vega!" Vega: "I can finally be at peace..." Chuta: "I don't want to lose anyone again!" Vega: "Chuta..." Vega: "Why did you save me?" Chuta: "I'm not going to let you die here!" Chuta/Vega: "Live, and atone for your crimes." Laine: "Chuta, Misuzu, are you all right?" Chuta: "This is Officer Kokonose. We're all safe." Laine: "I see. Well done!" Mimi: "Here you go! Freshly-baked muffins!" Tateyan: "Yes!" chka: "Thank you very much." Veronica: "They look so good!" Chuta: "Everyone's lives are back to normal." Dolugh: "It's a good thing that Vega and his family have been secured by ēlDLIVE, huh, Chuta?" Chuta: "It's all because the chief made a request to HQ." Misuzu: "Officer Kokonose. Um... I'm really sorry about the whole smell situation the other day." Chuta: "Smell?" Dolugh: "That wasn't just your misunderstanding, Chuta?" Misuzu: "I-I've properly apologized, so... if you'll excuse me." Veronica: "What are those two whispering about?" chka: "Are they having an important private conversation?" Veronica: "I'm so interested..." Love: "Yes. I'm also interested. In your flesh." Veronica: "Kopnięcie! Kick" Love: "Whoa, there." Riggs: "Talk about carefree... We aren't even done with the ship's repairs yet." Tonto: "Oh, come on. Today's a celebration for Chuta." Marley: "Yeah. Because Officer Kokonose arrested Inspector Vega..." Harry: "...we were able to..." Melies: "...acquire valuable SPH information we can use to defeat DeMille." Laine: "Man, I didn't know what was gonna happen when that virus hit." Mcclane: "I know!" Chuta: "Do you have a minute?" Chuta: "I always end up fighting with you, and never really talk to you properly." Chuta: "Thanks for everything this time." Chuta: "You said what I could do is to protect the Earth as a member of ēlDLIVE, right?" Chuta: "I think that's why I was able to work so hard." Misuzu: "But... as always, your actions are random and unplanned... Even when you saved Inspector Vega, I can't say that was the right decision." Chuta: "Wha—" Misuzu: "However, it's also true that it all worked out in the end." Misuzu: "I approve you joining ēlDLIVE, Officer Kokonose." Chuta: "Approve? Does that mean you disapproved this whole time?" Dolugh: "Good for you, Chuta." Chuta: "It's not good at all!" Mimi: "To think that Chuta's talking to a girl all by himself..." Chuta: "Ever since I joined ēlDLIVE, so many hectic things have happened. There are plenty of things that I still don't understand," Chuta: "but I'm sure I'll be able to keep trying hard."

Crowd: "Wow!" Teacher: "All right, switch!" Shizu: "Your tennis club skills are definitely showing, Misuzu." Toku: "A normal middle-schooler wouldn't have been able to get that." Misuzu: "That was an average volley for someone who's played tennis for twelve months." Toku: "What the heck? That's hilarious, Misuzu." Toku: "Hey, those guys keep staring at Misuzu. Those pervs." Shizu: "Do you know Kokonose-kun, Misuzu?" Misuzu: "Why do you ask?" Shizu: "Your eyes just met." Misuzu: "I was just looking at him, hoping he'd disappear without a trace." Shizu: "What the heck?" Chuta: "Is she laughing at me?" Chuta: "That's really annoying..." Chuta: "Misuzu Sonokata? Why..." Laine: "She's also an employee here. I had her observing you for a while." Chuta: "She's... She was observing me?" Misuzu: "Chief, I'm still against this." Misuzu: "As I reported earlier, he is not qualified to be a police officer." Laine: "Yes, well... The reason he was talking to himself ended up being because of a Monitalien. He wasn't suffering from delusions after all." Misuzu: "No. There is a much more pressing problem at hand. Above all..." Misuzu: "Chuta Kokonose is a pervert." Misuzu: "He is extremely perverted. I suspect that his daily life is filled with perversion. And it is not something slightly endearing that will end once he hits puberty—" Laine: "Well, anyway, do your best, just like Misuzu and Chips in Division 2." Chuta: "Right..." Chuta: "To think that Sonokata was also a member of the Space Police..." Tateyan: "Isn't it great? Girl's tennis." Chuta: "Tateyan?" Tateyan: "I wanna go over there, too." Chuta: "He doesn't remember what happened back then..." Chuta: "Come to think of it, everything that happened yesterday was unbelievable." Chuta: "Wait, I think I'm forgetting about the most unbelievable thing..." Dolugh: "Misuzu hates you, Chuta." Chuta: "There it is! That weird thing!" Tateyan: "What's wrong, Chuta? Are you talking to yourself again?" Chuta: "Huh? Oh, y-y-y-y-yeah! It's nothing, so don't worry about it." Voice: "It's heading your way!" Tateyan: "Hey, are you okay, Chuta?" urse: "I'm going to head out for a bit, but make sure you get some rest." Chuta: "Yes, ma'am..." Chuta: "She left." Dolugh: "Yeah, she did." Chuta: "You're still stuck to me?" Dolugh: "Apparently I was exhausted and fell asleep. Materializing into this form uses an unimaginable amount of energy." Chuta: "What are you talking about?! To think that the voice belonged to something as weird as you! What the heck are you, anyway?" Dolugh: "A fourth generation Monitalien. A water planet support-type Dolughbritt type 390." Chuta: "Your name is too long! Dolugh should be enough." Dolugh: "Dolugh?! Dolugh! Dol-Dol-Dol-Dolugh! Dolugh!" Dolugh: "I like it." Chuta: "Come to think of it... That embarrassing failure back then... That embarrassing experience that one time... It's all your fault! Give me back my youth!" Dolugh: "Age-wise, your youth is just beginning." Chuta: "Don't lecture me about that! Just get out!" Dolugh: "I wouldn't do that, Chuta." Chuta: "I can't breathe..." Dolugh: "You and I are one. If I'm suffering, you will suffer, too." Chuta: "Then how am I supposed to pull you out?!" Dolugh: "You can't pull me out unless you die." Chuta: "No! Then I have to live like this forever? I don't need anything other than my wiener growing from me!" Chuta: "Did she hear me? Or am I safe?" Misuzu: "Such vulgar language. You really are a pervert." Chuta: "She did hear me!" Misuzu: "We need to go to our night shift." Chuta: "Huh? You mean for ēlDLIVE?" Misuzu: "What else is there? Or would you rather quit?" Chuta: "Huh? I... I can quit?" Misuzu: "Of course. You can run away with your tail between your legs and not leave a trace. Actually, you should build up the courage to completely disappear." Chuta: "Don't give me that! N-Not to mention, we have classes right now." Misuzu: "Even if I were the president, I would show up for my shift at ēlDLIVE, even if it meant missing a summit." Chuta: "That's not very easy to understand." Misuzu: "You lack comprehension skills." Misuzu: "Very well. I will tell the chief that you can't make it because of classes." Chuta: "Wha..." Chuta: "She's so annoying." Dolugh: "Aren't you going after Misuzu, Chuta?" Chuta: "Whoa! Don't suddenly jump out like that!" Dolugh: "We're going to be late for ēlDLIVE! We're going to be late on our first day." Chuta: "Hang on, Dolugh. Why do you want to go that badly?" Dolugh: "I'm curious." Chuta: "Huh?" Dolugh: "Monitaliens were created to gather information. We are made with a strong sense of curiosity." Chuta: "What does that have to do with me?" Dolugh: "You're not going, Chuta?" Chuta: "I don't really understand the Space Police," Chuta: "but I don't like Sonokata mocking me like that." Chuta: "Not to mention, why is it a night shift? It's still the middle of the day." Dolugh: "Yesterday, it was dark out in space." Dolugh: "Maybe space's day and night are the opposite of Earth's." Chuta: "True..." Chuta: "Huh? Where did Sonokata go? I thought she was around here..." Chips: "Over here, chu." Chips: "I'm Inspector Chips, chu! Hurry up and get in, chu!" Chuta: "Where are we?" Misuzu: "One of ēlDLIVE's Earth branches." Chuta: "There's, like, nothing here." Misuzu: "It's only here so we can transfer to the station without getting detected. More importantly, are you truly going to show up for your shift?" Chuta: "Well, y-yeah!" Chips: "All right, here we go, chu!" Chips: "Changes in the target's particles confirmed. Please go ahead with the transfer, chu!" Sheronimo: "Leave it to me, shero." Chips: "We were upside down again, chu. Come on, Transfer Administrator Sheronimo." Chuta: "Huh? It's pretty quiet today." Chips: "The daytime staff is off right now, chu." Chuta: "I see. So that's why it's the night shift..." Laine: "I've been waiting... You guys." Chuta: "Huh? Chief Laine?" Laine: "Yeah." Laine: "Chuta Kokonose and the Monitalien..." Chuta: "Um... uh..." Chips: "Chief, no! You can't sleep here, chu!" Chuta: "When did he fall asleep?" Laine: "Chips, stand by on the bridge. Misuzu, give Chuta a tour of the bureau." All: "Yoyosa!" Chuta: "Yoyosa..." Misuzu: "Space Police ēlDLIVE. Their bureau in this Solar System is this spaceship, the Jeanrenoi-R. This ship is equipped with advanced technologies that the ēl Civilization has to offer, which we on Earth will eventually come to grasp ourselves." Chuta: "I... I see..." Misuzu: "There are virus-like translation chips operating onboard the ship and once you breathe them in, you are able to talk to all of the aliens here." Misuzu: "This is the sick bay. Dr. Isaac is in charge here." Chuta: "Hi..." Misuzu: "That's the transfer operations room. This is Second Class Officer Sheronimo." Sheronimo: "Nice to meet you, shero." Chuta: "So that's the transfer guy..." Misuzu: "This is the interrogation room." Misuzu: "And this is the SPH research office." Chuta: "SP... What?" Misuzu: "And this is where we're assigned..." Misuzu: "The investigations department." Misuzu: "There are six divisions in the investigations department. You, I, and Investigator Chips are assigned to Division 2." Chuta: "Which means there are a lot more people besides you and Chips?" Misuzu: "Twenty people work in the investigations department." Chuta: "That many?" Misuzu: "Our boss at Division 2 is Section Chief Madigan. He rarely shows his face," Misuzu: "but when he does, it'd be in your best interest to run." Chuta: "What the heck?!" Misuzu: "And this is the detention center." Chuta: "So it's like the jail?" Misuzu: "A temporary one. The Chabrolian you captured earlier is in here." Chuta: "Huh?" Chuta: "Oh, you're right. It's the former Saotome-sensei..." Chuta: "Um, so do vicious criminals get the death penalty?" Misuzu: "Intergalactic law prioritizes rehabilitation. In most cases, criminals are sent to a rehabilitation center." Chuta: "Wow, so even criminals get a second chance. That's a nice system." Misuzu: "What would you know?" Chuta: "Huh?" Chuta: "Um..." Chuta: "Um..." Dolugh: "Misuzu's mad." Chuta: "Um... do you mind if I look around the bureau by myself a bit?" Chuta: "This place is pretty huge." Dolugh: "Misuzu was in a bad mood." Chuta: "Well, Sonokata always seems to be mad at me." Dolugh: "And you seem to get angry easily when Misuzu's concerned." Chuta: "I don't know why, but whenever I talk to Sonokata, I get really annoyed. Maybe... it's because I thought Sonokata was cute at first, so when she says mean things..." Dolugh: "Chuta." Dolugh: "Where are we?" Chuta: "Where? We're in the..." Chuta: "Wait a sec... Are we lost?!" Chuta: "Huh? This isn't good... This is just going to make Sonokata complain again." System: "This is a Code 7! This is a Code 7!" Chuta: "Did I end up someplace weird?" System: "A suspect has escaped from the detention center!" Chuta: "Escaped?!" Sheronimo: "Stop!" Chuta: "Huh? Wha? What should I do?" System: "I repeat, an escaped suspect is headed toward B43!" Chuta: "Sonokata!" Misuzu: "That's where Transfer Room 2 is." Misuzu: "Second Class Officer Sheronimo." Sheronimo: "I'm sorry... The one that escaped is the vicious criminal, Dragline. He transferred himself, shero. He was headed toward Earth, shero." Chuta: "To Earth?" Misuzu: "I'll go after him." Chuta: "G-Go after him?" Misuzu: "I'm the only one available right now." Misuzu: "Is the transfer unit still operational?" Shero: "I'll give it a try, shero." Dolugh: "You're not gonna go, Chuta?" Chuta: "Well, he's a vicious criminal, right?" Dolugh: "Misuzu's going, but you're not going to go?" Chuta: "Well... I guess I can at least find a criminal... I'm sure the other officers will come save us in a little while." Misuzu: "Please don't come if you're going to be so naïve. It's like you're a middle schooler." Chuta: "Wha— Of course! I am a middle schooler!" Misuzu: "If you will, Second Class Officer Sheronimo." Sheronimo: "Leave it to me, shero." Chuta: "Hey, wait a sec!" Sheronimo: "Transfer!" Chuta: "Ow!" Chuta: "We're upside down again! "Leave it to me, shero," my ass..." Chuta: "Um, where are we?" Misuzu: "Near the local branch. Apparently he didn't change the coordinates from when we headed to the bureau." Chuta: "I wonder where he went..." Misuzu: "The alien from Rosenber, Dragline, was arrested after committing three indiscriminate murders." Chuta: "Indiscriminate murders?! So he's headed to the crowded shopping district?" Misuzu: "No." Misuzu: "Considering his situation, the first thing he'd probably think of..." Chuta: "Whoa, the local branch!" Misuzu: "...is to take care of any pursuing officers." Misuzu: "Escapee located." Dolugh: "It looks like a crab, Chuta." Chuta: "So gross!" Misuzu: "This is ēlDLIVE. Do not try to resist, and come quietly." Chuta: "I don't think he's going to listen!" Dolugh: "Let's catch him, Chuta." Chuta: "We can't catch that thing!" Chuta: "Sonokata!" Misuzu: "You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney." Misuzu: "And..." Misuzu: "Anything you say can and will be used against you in an intergalactic court of law." Dragline: "Screw your court of law! I'm going to kill all I want!" Misuzu: "Do you plan on resisting?" Dragline: "SPH!" Chuta: "He ran away?" Misuzu: "He just hiding." Chuta: "I-I'm gonna get killed fighting a monster like that unarmed." Dolugh: "I'm here! We arrested that Blob-Blob together yesterday, didn't we?" Chuta: "Yesterday was just a coincidence! I can't do this." Dolugh: "So you're just gonna go back to being a pessimist, Chuta? Yesterday, you affirmed yourself, and awakened my powers. I thought you'd regained your confidence and accepted your past." Chuta: "There's no way I can change that easily. Not to mention, it's partially your fault that I ended up like this!" Chuta: "It's your fault that I ended up saying "wiener" in front of Sonokata today." Misuzu: "Please stop saying such vulgar things." Chuta: "Oh, right... Sonokata can't hear Dolugh's voice." Misuzu: "But you've made things very clear." Chuta: "Huh?" Misuzu: "If you can't fight this vicious criminal, you are not fit to be in ēlDLIVE. Please resign without leaving a trace." Dolugh: "Chuta! An old lady and some dogs are coming closer." Old: "Hey, what's wrong?" Dragline: "First, I'll get that old hag..." Old: "A m-m-monster!" Dolugh: "Nice, Chuta!" Chuta: "I... I did that without thinking..." Dolugh: "It's coming, Chuta!" Chuta: "Dolugh, let's sew him up!" Dolugh: "Sympathy!" Chuta: "He deflected it? No way..." Dragline: "Are you messing around?" Chuta: "Dolugh!" Misuzu: "Escaping, repeatedly resisting, and..." Misuzu: "...attacking civilians." Misuzu: "Confirming that apprehending the suspect is proving difficult. I will perform my duty according to regulations." Chuta: "Huh? S-Sonokata?" Dolugh: "This smell... It's the nice smell from class." Misuzu: "Here I go." Dragline: "Die, ēlDLIVE!" Misuzu: "Please disappear, without a trace." Chuta: "I was in awe..." Chuta: "But... Does this mean that you killed the criminal?" Misuzu: "Of course." Misuzu: "He ignored my warnings and attacked." Dolugh: "Misuzu sounds prickly." Chuta: "More like she's super prickly." Chuta: "We're both middle schoolers, but... ...it's like Misuzu Sonokata is..." Chuta: "....a super cool space girl." Chips: "You okay, Misuzu?" Misuzu: "Yes." Guy: "Eliminating an escaped criminal... You sure didn't hold back, did you?" Misuzu: "Thank you for your hard work. There is an Earthling who saw the battle, so please take the necessary measures." Copa: "Yoyosa!" Guyb: "Oh, so you must be the rookie Earthling." Chuta: "Huh? Me?" Misuzu: "He's no longer a rookie with us. Apparently, he wants nothing to do with ēlDLIVE." Chuta: "Huh?" Old: "Thank you so much. I don't know what they would have done if I had died." Chuta: "You're the old lady from earlier..." Old: "It's all because you shielded me." Chuta: "Huh? Me?" Old: "Yes. You saved my life." Old: "Thank you so much." Chuta: "I-It was nothing..." Copa: "That must have been an ordeal, ma'am." Copb: "Please come this way." Dolugh: "Looks like you've accepted yourself a little more." Chuta: "Huh?" Doluugh: "At the same time, you're accepting my existence, so I can tell." Dolugh: "You're already completely different from two days ago, Chuta." Chuta: "I don't plan on accepting you, Dolugh." Chuta: "But..." Chuta: "It's been a while since I felt like this..." Misuzu: "I have to complete my report, so I'm returning to the bureau. You can return to the school if you'd like." Misuzu: "You're quitting, anyway." Chuta: "Hold on a sec! I never said I was going to quit!" Chuta: "And..." Chuta: "If I'm going to quit, I'll tell the chief myself!" Copa: "You sure ended up at a pretty gruesome scene from the get-go. Please use this to wipe the blood from your face." Chuta: "Blood?" Chuta: "Green?" Chuta: "B-B-B-B-B.... Blood!" Chuta: "I think I'm going to have to exclude crab from my favorite foods for a while..." Laine: "Hey, Super Cool Space Girl." Girl: "Great job, Super Cool Space Girl." Misuzu: "Officer Kokonose, because of you, I ended up with a strange nickname." Chuta: "S-Sorry..." Dolugh: "Next time on ēlDLIVE, "After the Shoplifter!""

Mana (Jim): "Do you have a plan to transport the goods?" Manb: "Yeah, no problems here. You?" Mana (Jim): "No problems here, either." Manb: "You bastard!" Mana (Jim): "Well done." Kieshi: "You know why we've summoned you... The Drago Bureau found this along with a corpse that was aboard a smuggling ship headed toward the solar system." Laine: "This mark..." Isaku: "All right, done." Chuta: "Um... Dr. Isaac. Are the only items issued by ēlDLIVE this badge, handcuffs, and the uniform that I'm eventually going to get?" Isaac: "Should there be anything else?" Chuta: "Like maybe a pistol or a police baton?" Isaac: "Distributing those things would just be a waste of time. Space criminals are fighting with capabilities that Earth's science has yet to even conceptualize. With a much more powerful secret in life. The reason you were able to join ēlDLIVE was because you were able to show a glimpse of that power during the qualifying exam." Chuta: "We did?" Isaac: "I was rather surprised myself. That's a pretty remarkable thing." Chuta: "It is?" Dolugh: "I feel confidence flowing out of you right now, Chuta." Chuta: "Sh-Shut up. But what is that secret of life?" Isaac: "It's body odor." Isaac: "The official term for it is SPH, which is short for Space Pheromones." Chuta: "So the technique that Dolugh used was actually a smell?" Isaac: "SPH is a scent that cannot be detected by Earthlings." Chuta: "Which means, when we had that escapee the other day, the thing that Sonokata used was Misuzu Sonokata's scent?" Misuzu: "Please refrain from having any weird fantasies." Isaac: "Ah, Misuzu." Misuzu: "Is mine ready?" Isaac: "Yours is the kit with the red capsules on the upper right." Chuta: "Huh? Are you sick, Sonokata?" Misuzu: "No. It's medicine that allows me to adapt to this environment." Dolugh: "Panties peekie-peek. Chuta's getting excited." Chuta: "Wh-What are you talking about?! I didn't see any panties—" Misuzu: "You pervert!" Chuta: "P-Pass it to me!" Dolugh: "You've become a bit more assertive lately, Chuta." Chuta: "Huh?" Dolugh: "A lot of people have been complimenting you, so you've gained confidence." Chuta: "Y-You think so?" Tateyan: "Chuta, it's heading your way!" Chuta: "All right!" Chuta: "Crap!" Dolugh: "Sympathy!" Chuta: "Dolugh?! Crap! Did they see you?!" Studenta: "Nice goal!" Studentb: "That was awesome, Chuta! I'm impressed." Chuta: "I-It was nothing..." Dolugh: "You're in a really good mood, Chuta." Chuta: "Well, yeah. That was a super goal." Dolugh: "You're interacting with people from your class like friends now." Chuta: "Yeah. I guess this is how it is when you actually try to make friends." Tome: "Shoplifter! Someone catch that gum thief!" Chuta: "Hold it!" Chuta: "Dolugh! Let's sew him up, cloak and all!" Dolugh: "Sewing him up!" Chuta: "Huh?" Dolugh: "It shattered?" Chuta: "Auntie! Aunt Mimi! Wake up, Aunt Mimi!" Dolugh: "Are you sure you don't need to be looking after Mimi, Chuta?" Chuta: "This is all my fault again." Chuta: "It's better if I don't do anything after all." Dolugh: "Chuta..." Chuta: "Dolugh! Your body!" Dolugh: "Anytime you're negative about yourself, Chuta, you end up denying my existence, and my body becomes faint." Misuzu: "Using your SPH powers in your everyday life on Earth is a violation of ēlDLIVE regulations." Chuta: "Sonokata..." Misuzu: "Powers not of Earth are that dangerous." Chuta: "I get it already." Misuzu: "No. You only understand about thirty percent of it." Misuzu: "I took care of this instance. However, you will face punishment next time." Dolugh: "This is the depressed cooking that you do when you're depressed, Chuta." Chuta: "Maybe I'll quit ēlDLIVE..." Dolugh: "Why? You've been slowly regaining confidence ever since you joined ēlDLIVE, Chuta." Chuta: "Confidence... That's exactly why Aunt Mimi got hurt." Chuta: "If I hadn't gotten involved..." Chuta: "And after I'd decided I wouldn't anymore... I wouldn't get involved..." Dolugh: "Chuta! Chuta!" Dolugh: "Aren't you making way too much?" urse: "You brought food?" Caster: "Next week, with the theme of "school regulations," we'll follow a public morals committee chairman" urse: "It's still visiting hours, so you can take it up to her room." Caster: "who keeps a middle school in check in a rather unique way." Chuta: "No... Actually, if you'd just take this to her." Caster: "Look forward to it." Mimi: "Chuta?" Mimi: "You came!" Mimi: "To think that one of the shop's pillars would collapse from being so old." Chuta: "Huh? Her memory's been altered..." Mimi: "But thank goodness that it barely missed me!" Chuta: "No, Auntie. The truth is that I—" Mimi: "What's the matter, Chuta?" Chuta: "It would have been better if I'd been the one that got hurt, not you, Auntie." Mimi: "What are you talking about, Chuta?" Chuta: "Huh? Well, I mean, you've got work..." Mimi: "If you got hurt, I wouldn't be able to make delicious muffins! It's only because you keep growing every day and come home to me safe that I'm even able to work hard! When you're doing well, I'm doing well, too." Chuta: "I-I'm sorry..." Mimi: "I'm ridiculous... I was just brought to tears by my own words..." Chuta: "Auntie..." Mimi: "But you seem to be more cheerful lately, so that's made me happy." Dolugh: "Mimi recognized the changes in you, Chuta." Chuta: "Yeah." Chuta: "Auntie cares for me that much... I need to shape up more." Chuta: "So that I can protect Auntie and her muffins." Dolugh: "I'm becoming more visible again." Chips: "I found you, chu." Chuta: "Sonokata..." Misuzu: "It's time for our shift." All: "Yoyosa!" Laine: "Good work. Until Section Chief Madigan returns, I will continue to command all of you in Division 2." Chuta: "Yes, sir." Laine: "However, there really aren't any jobs that you guys can do at your level right now." Laine: "Go study for school, or something." Chuta: "Huh?" Chips: "Looks like we've got some time, chu. And I thought we were going to actually work on that one case, chu." Chuta: "That one case?" Misuzu: "You haven't heard? Apparently, the gum thief that showed up in the shopping district was an alien." Chuta: "Huh?" Chuta: "Then why don't we catch the shoplifter?" Misuzu: "You seem rather forward suddenly. Why is that?" Chuta: "Why?" Chuta: "At this rate, my Auntie won't be able to run her shop in peace." Chips: "You shouldn't do that, chu. Don't mix your personal feelings into an investigation, chu." Chuta: "Oh... I see." Misuzu: "I think it's all right this time." Chuta: "Sonokata..." Misuzu: "We're not receiving assignments because Officer Kokonose's level is too low. He can do his own investigation and level up, or die without leaving a trace. Either would work in our favor." Chuta: "Wha—" Chuta: "Never mind! I'll just do it myself!" Misuzu: "Go right ahead." Chuta: "I said that, but where am I even supposed to start?" Dolugh: "Chuta? How did ēlDLIVE find out the suspect was an alien?" Chuta: "Why? It's probably because aliens and Earthlings are different in some way...." Chuta: "Oh, yeah! It must be SPH!" Chuta: "Um, pardon me." Melies: "You saw it, didn't you?" Melies: "This unsightly form!" Chuta: "So the moon guy has arms!" Melies: "You're precisely the 50,000th person to see my arms!" Dolugh: "That's quite a lot." Melies: "What do you want?" Chuta: "Um... I wanted to catch a shoplifting alien, so I was wondering if their SPH records were here..." Melies: "You're running your own investigation? You've got some nerve!" Chuta: "U-Um, could you help me out?" Melies: "Hmm... I don't have much of a choice, since you saw my arms. Only on the condition that you won't tell the others." Chuta: "Thank you..." Melies: "SPH is unique to every individual, just like Earthlings' fingerprints. No two are alike." Chuta: "Huh..." Melies: "And so, we'll search for any SPH that was recorded near your house at the time of the shoplifting, and then compare it with this data... Hm?" Melies: "We got a hit! That's him! Hey. Are you sure he's just a shoplifter?" Chuta: "What's wrong?" Melies: "He's..." Chuta: "Chief Laine." Chuta: "The shoplifter that was in my neighborhood is an alien and a murderer!" Laine: "Who did you hear that from?" Chuta: "Um..." Misuzu: "I spotted Officer Kokonose going into the SPH research office earlier." Tonto: "I'm surprised that Méliès helped you." Laine: "Hey, now. I told you to go study, didn't I?" Laine: "We're in the middle of investigating that case right now." Chuta: "Um, would it be possible for me to participate, as well?" Laine: "Why do you want to go that far?" Chuta: "Well... Because at this rate, my Auntie..." Dolugh: "Chuta! You were told not to involve your personal feelings!" Chuta: "Right... Um... If we let a dangerous criminal run free, people wouldn't be able to continue to live their lives in peace. Getting innocent people involved in this" Chuta: "is as tragic as when the rice for your curry turns out all mushy." Harry: "Curry?" Chuta: "Huh? Huh?" Laine: "Very well. Go catch him!" Dolugh: "You did it, Chuta." Tonto: "Are you sure about this? I thought that you were marking that criminal, Chief." Riggs: "The Chief is doing stuff on a whim again." Laine: "The suspect is the Gumshoe Alien Jim. He's wanted on charges of larceny and murder on Earth. Judging from the crime scene, while trying to illegally transport resources from Earth, he apparently got in an argument with his partner." Chuta: "What was the resource he stole?" Laine: "Bubblegum." Chuta: "Bubblegum?" Laine: "The physical properties of a Gumshoe Alien are very similar to gum, and gum itself can be used as a powerful, high-quality tonic." Chuta: "He killed someone over gum?" Laine: "They don't have gum on the Gumshoe Planet. When things are in short supply, people who would be willing to crush another life to get them start to appear." Misuzu: "Is that the only clue we have?" Laine: "No, there's one more." Chips: "You mean the yellow truck, chu?" Laine: "He probably acquired it in order to load the gum he stole and get away." Melies: "The suspect's SPH is weak. I can't find his location." Dolugh: "So he usually hits the keys with his chin..." Misuzu: "We can't locate him on the satellite cameras, either." Chuta: "Wouldn't a yellow truck like this actually stand out quite a bit?" Dolugh: "Chuta, I see something in the windshield." Chuta: "Huh?" Chuta: "Is that Mount Fuji?" Melies: "Analyzing the angles of Mount Fuji reflecting in the windshield and the sunlight. I'll narrow down the possible locations." Melies: "Bingo! The Tomei Highway!" Chuta: "Ow..." Chips: "He messed up again, chu." Chuta: "Where's the yellow truck?" Chuta: "It doesn't look like it's parked around here." Chuta: "H-Hey!" Misuzu: "I would like you to stand by here. You can even sit out if you'd like." Chuta: "What?!" Misuzu: "If you'll excuse me." Dolugh: "Chuta, I smell gum. It's coming from the thicket over there." Chuta: "Well, they sell gum around here, too." Dolugh: "No, this smell is Snap Snap gum." Chuta: "They only sell Snap Snap gum at old candy shops... Oh, yeah!" Chuta: "This is ēlDLIVE! Gumshoe Alien, surrender and come out!" Chuta: "But how is a truck in a place like this?" Chuta: "Ow..." Chuta: "What the?" Jim: "So you finally showed up, ēlDLIVE." Dolugh: "Chuta, it's the yellow truck!" Jim: "Like hell I'm going to let you catch me! Don't mess with me!" Chuta: "Which means this puny alien is the suspect!" Jim: "You're from that one time!" Jim: "Because you opened a hole in my body, I couldn't get big anymore!" Jim: "I'm gonna kill you next time!" Jim: "Hey! Hey! Hey!" Chuta: "Who would've thought it'd be an alien this size? This is the Space Police ēlDLIVE! Don't even try to struggle and come peacefully... Ow!" Chuta: "Y-You... Ow!" Jim: "Don't mess with me!" Chuta: "Have the right to remain si— Why, you!" Jim: "Is that all you've got, ēlDLIVE?" Chuta: "What is..." Misuzu: "That's SPH." Chuta: "Sonokata..." Misuzu: "Normal physical attacks will not work against SPH." Chuta: "SPH..." Chuta: "Sonokata's secretions..." Misuzu: "Your way of expressing that is extremely unpleasant." Chuta: "Er... uh..." Dolugh: "Chuta! The suspect's gone." Chuta: "No..." Chips: "He couldn't have gotten far, chu." Jim: "You fool! You let your guard down!" Chuta: "Sonokata!" Chips: "Misuzu!" Jim: "That's what you get! I'm just gonna finish her off like this." Chips: "This isn't good, chu! His SPH is powerfully sticking to her, and I can't attack, chu!" Dolugh: "Misuzu's going to be suffocated, Chuta!" Chuta: "You say that, but..." Chuta: "No! Sonokata!" Chips: "How dare you do that, you piece of gum?!" Chuta: "What should I do?" Dolugh: "Chuta! Do you remember what happened when there was gum on Mimi's clothes and it wouldn't come off?" Dolugh: "If we use that here, it'll work." Chuta: "Can you do it?" Dolugh: "If you can imagine the same thing, yes." Chuta: "All right, let's do it!" Chuta: "When that happens, you should use this." Dolugh: "Sympathy!" Chuta: "Space Pheromone! Freezing gum off!" Jim: "Wha... I-It's cold... My body's getting harder..." Chuta: "Sonokata!" Chips: "Misuzu!" Misuzu: "I'm fine." Chuta: "Thank goodness." Misuzu: "I thank you for saving me. But this doesn't mean that I've accepted you." Chuta: "Wh-What the heck?" Chips: "This time, you're under arrest for sure, chu." Jim: "I-I'm going to be killed..." Chips: "I'm not going to kill you, chu." Jim: "No! No, no! I'm gonna get killed—" Chips: "This isn't good, chu!" Misuzu: "Take cover!" Riggs: "There's a large SPH signal." Dolugh: "That's a nice smell." Chuta: "S-So close!" Misuzu: "I've repaid my debt to you." Misuzu: "Please do not hold the fact that you saved me against me anymore." Chuta: "L-Like I would do that!" Chips: "Both of you! Look over there, chu!" Misuzu: "That's..." Riggs: "So that mark was..." Laine: "Yeah. He was killed as a warning to others. The giant criminal organization that commits all kinds of heinous crimes across this galaxy..." Laine: "DeMille." Chuta: "DeMille?" Laine: "Long ago, another blue, Earth-like planet 20,000 light years away ended up like this because of them." Chuta: "Something that dangerous is heading to Earth?" Chuta: "Auntie, I brought you a change of clothes, since you're being discharged." Tateyan: "Yo." Chuta: "Tateyan! Why are you..." Tateyan: "The lady from the candy shop told me." Mimi: "He brought me some rice crackers as a get well gift." Chuta: "Th-Thanks." Tateyan: "Do people tell your aunt that she looks like the idol Yui Sakuraebi?" Chuta: "I don't think so..." Tateyan: "I see." Tateyan: "By the way, Chuta, I had a dream the other day where I think you saved me." Chuta: "A dream?" Dolugh: "ēlDLIVE must've changed his memories." Chuta: "If you thought it was a dream, it probably was." Tateyan: "I see. It must've been a dream. You're so deep, Chuta." Dolugh: "And you're dense, Tateyan." Chuta: "Shh!" Tateyan: "But thanks anyway. I wanted to tell you that, even if it was a dream." Dolugh: "This feeling... You're starting to accept yourself more, Chuta." Chuta: "You don't need to comment on it every time!" Chuta: "A-Auntie!" Mimi: "Chuta finally made a friend!" Chuta: "You're overreacting, Auntie!" Dolugh: "She's not, though. Ever since that incident, up until you joined ēlDLIVE recently, you haven't had any friends, Chuta." Chuta: "That's right... I'd forgotten." Chuta: "This is what having friends is like." Chuta: "I think I've started realizing a lot of things lately." Chuta: "About my family, the people around me, as well as myself...." Chuta: "Considering all that, maybe there was a purpose to me joining ēlDLIVE." Laine: "You look all official now." Tonto: "It looks pretty good on you." Dolugh: "I like it! It's a very unique outfit, Chuta." Misuzu: "Please don't come to school wearing that." Chuta: "I know that!" Laine: "All right, let's have an entrance ceremony for Chuta." All: "Yoyosa!" Crew A: "Commencing super high-speed navigation." Crew B: "Is that okay, Captain?" Gucchi: "Yeah." Crewa: "Our target is on the blue planet in the solar system in the Milky Way galaxy." Crewb: "It's Shirobori Middle School. Right, Captain?" Gucchi: "Yeah. I can't wait to see him." Guy: "There's no doubt about it." Guy2: "Yeah." Girl: "You're right." Misuzu: "Officer's Kokonose's naming sense is..." All: "...zero!" Dolugh: "Next time on ēlDLIVE, "A Pursuer From the Past: Part 1.""

Chuta: "Michiyo! Matsutaro!" Chuta: "Did you bring something to give Gucchi, since he's moving away?" Matsutaro: "Yup." Michiyo: "It's a ramen spoon!" Gucchi: "It's from Sankyu-san!" Chuta: "That's super rare!" Michiyo: "I brought you a sparkly box! I bought the supplies to make it at a 100-yen shop with my mom and made it." Chuta: "There's a diamond stuck on there!" Gucchi: "Wow." Michiyo: "What's your present, Chuta?" Chuta: "Dolls of us." Michiyo: "Wow!" Gucchi: "Did you sew those, Chuta? You're better than my mom!" Chuta: "I didn't sew them, I knitted them. They're called amigurumi." Michiyo: "The pink one must be me." Gucchi: "The red one is me." Matsutaro: "That doesn't really look like me..." Chuta: "Aren't these great, Gucchi?" Gucchi: "Yeah! Thanks, everyone!" Gucchi: "So, uh... This is hard for me to say..." Gucchi: "I'm not moving away anymore." Matsutaro: "Huh?" Chuta: "What?" Michiyo: "Huh?!" Gucchi: "My mom knew how much I would miss you guys, so my mom talked to my dad, and I won't be moving this year." Chuta: "Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Matsutaro: "Then could I have that spoon back?" Michiyo: "Then I want to use that sparkly box myself, too." Gucchi: "Huh? Hey, that's not fair! You guys gave me these because you care about me, right?" Chuta: "Then why don't we make a time capsule? We'll put everything in Michiyo's box, and then we'll open it years or even decades later." Matsutaro: "Decades..." Michiyo: "That's really exciting." Chuta: "It'll belong to everyone, so that means it'll be yours, too, Gucchi." Gucchi: "Yeah, but..." Michiyo: "Then Gucchi needs something to bury, too." Gucchi: "Me? That's pretty sudden..." Gucchi: "Oh, yeah." Gucchi: "My mom told me to give you guys this picture that she took of us before." Chuta: "That's perfect!" Chuta: "All right, done. Let's go bury it." Chuta: "It's no use. It's not here! You really don't remember where we buried the time capsule, Dolugh?" Dolugh: "I was asleep at the time." Chuta: "I'm pretty sure it's somewhere around here..." Dolugh: "You've changed recently, Chuta. You're actually talking about the three who got lost and disappeared." Chuta: "It might be because I joined ēlDLIVE and a lot's happened." Chuta: "I just realized that I can't keep running forever." Gucchi: "Help me!" Michiyo: "Chuta!" Chuta: "Wait right there! I'll save you!" Chuta: "Okay..." Dolugh: "Chuta, the rock on the right..." Chuta: "The right? Got it!" Dolugh: "No, that one's dangerous!" Gucchi: "Chuta!" Chuta: "Isn't it ironic? No matter how much I tried to run away from my past, I couldn't. And now that I'm trying to get closer to it, it's gone." Dolugh: "It's been a while since you've been to Gucchi's grave, Chuta." Chuta: "Yeah. It's a bit early," Chuta: "but it'd be awkward to run into Gucchi's mom and the others." Gucchi Mom: "Why were you the only one to survive?! Why are you still here when Ken's gone?!" Chuta: "That was the first time someone ever glared at me like that." Chuta: "But it can't be helped." Chuta: "It's all my fault." Dolugh: "After that, Mimi held you and she bawled her eyes out." Chuta: "Huh? Aunt Mimi did? Did that actually happen?" Dolugh: "Well, you were completely in shock." Chuta: "Oh... I guess I sort of remember that, after all." Chuta: "Aunt Mimi was crying... and held my back tight." Dolugh: "For three months after that day, Mimi was crying in her futon after you fell asleep." Chuta: "S-Seriously?" Chuta: "I was so worried about myself..." Chuta: "Auntie must have gone through a lot because of me..." Principal: "And so, I hope you all greet each other this month as energetic Shirobori Middle School students should." Dolugh: "This is boring, isn't it, Chuta?" Principal: "Next, in regards to interactions with the community..." Chuta: "Crap... If I actually fall asleep, Sonokata's gonna bug me again..." Chuta: "Huh?" Shizu: "Sensei! Sonokata-san passed out!" Chuta: "What happened?" Dolugh: "Something smells..." Chuta: "D-Dolugh?" Tateyan: "What's wrong, Chuta?" Chuta: "N-Nothing. I'm just talking to myself, as usual." Chuta: "Oh, yeah. I forgot to put on my headphone patch." Chips: "This is Inspector Chips, chu. I declare Misuzu and Dolugh fainting an emergency, and will go retrieve them now, chu." Chuta: "Retrieve?" Mom Robo: "I'm Sonokata's mother, chu... I mean, I'm her mother." Studenta: "That's Misuzu's mom?" Studentb: "What? They don't look alike at all." Mom Robo: "I just happened to be passing by, chu... I mean, I just happened to be passing by." Chuta: "There's no doubt about it. That's Inspector Chips." Chips: "The only humanoid robot that was immediately available was this Melpleian one, chu." Mom Robo: "Misuzu hasn't been feeling well all morning, so I'll take her home now, chu... Yes." Principal: "Yamanaka-kun, is that really her mother?" Yamanaka: "It's strange, but I can't seem to remember for sure..." Mom Robo: "Misuzu, it's me." Misuzu: "Oh... Mom." Shizu: "She said "Mom." Which means..." Toku: "...that person really is her mom?" Principal: "Um... Ma'am. We can't really have you just take your daughter..." Mom Robo: "She's ill." Mom Robo: "Oh, and coincidentally, I received word from Chuta Kokonose's aunt, and for various reasons, she wants him to come home, chu." Chuta: "Huh?" Mom Robo: "Hurry up and come with me, chu." Chuta: "Yoyo... I mean, right!" Toku: "Does that mean their parents know about their relationship?" Shizu: "That's so nice. I'm sort of jealous." Transfer Student A: "We were able to smoke them out." Transfer Student B: "So it's Misuzu Sonokata..." Transfer Student A: "...and Chuta Kokonose from Class 2-A." Isaac: "Looks like you haven't been infected by any bacteria. Then the only reason I can think of is an SPH that induces sleep." Chuta: "Um, how long do I need to stay like this?" Dolugh: "I don't like this water. It's gross." Isaac: "The personnel that fainted could have been exposed, so I have to replace the fluids within your body as well as Misuzu's." Chuta: "Huh?! S-Sonokata's naked, too?" Chuta: "Wh-Wh-Wh-Where is she?! Is she visible?!" Isaac: "These tanks are made with two-way mirrors and can't be seen from the outside." Chuta: "Oh... I see." Isaac: "Also, the mics are on in all of the tanks." Chuta: "Huh?" Misuzu: "You pervert." Misuzu: "Disappear. Disappear." Chuta: "Aaaah! She heard me!" Dolugh: "You can hear her clear as a bell." Laine: "In regards to the incident of Misuzu and Dolugh fainting, both the suspect and the motive are unknown." Laine: "That goes for the sleep-inducing SPH we believed that was used, as well." Melies: "Yes, the SPH radar did not detect anything." Chuta: "But Dolugh mentioned that he smelled something." Misuzu: "I didn't smell anything." Isaac: "The ability to sense SPH is different with every individual, so it's possible that both of you would not sense it. But it's strange that the SPH radar didn't detect anything." Laine: "Anyway, we checked for suspicious individuals and anything that changed at the school between yesterday and today. There were two transfer students, a first-year and a third-year." Chuta: "Transfer students?" Laine: "Do these two look familiar?" Chuta: "No." Misuzu: "They do not." Laine: "I see... However, that's the only clue we have. Keep an eye on them starting tomorrow." All: "Yoyosa!" Isaac: "It might be mere consolation, but take this awakening medicine, which should work against any sleep-inducing SPH. Take it before they try to put you to sleep." Laine: "One more thing. We've just received word that a ship from the giant criminal organization DeMille is heading toward this solar system." Chuta: "DeMille is the criminal organization that you mentioned, right?" Chuta: "DeMille is heading to Earth?" Chips: "You ready, chu?" Chuta: "Yoyosa!" Misuzu: "Why do we have to conduct this training right now?" Chips: "It was requested by Officer Kokonose, chu." Chuta: "DeMille may have been involved in the incident today, so I wanted to train just in case." Misuzu: "I believe that this is futile." Dolugh: "Looks like Misuzu is still mad because you tried to see her naked, Chuta." Chuta: "Sonokata, sorry about earlier. The whole naked... I mean, the tank thing." Misuzu: "I'm not worried about it." Dolugh: "She says that, but she's more distant than usual." Chuta: "Yeah..." Chips: "After you input the difficulty level on that panel, targets will come out from that pot, and you'll have to fight them using various SPH techniques, chu. First, Officer Kokonose." Chuta: "Yoyosa!" Isaac: "Level 1, chu." Chuta: "Something small is heading toward me!" Dolugh: "They look like flies, Chuta." Chips: "If the targets come in contact with you, you'll swell up, chu. Just like getting stung by a bee on Earth." Chuta: "What? You should've told me that earlier! S-Sew them up, Dolugh!" Dolugh: "Sympathy!" Chuta: "Oh, we got them." Dolugh: "Barely." Chips: "It's your turn next, Officer Sonokata." Misuzu: "I'd like level 20, please." Chuta: "Huh? Level 20?!" Chuta: "I'm left in awe again..." Chips: "Impressive as usual, Misuzu." Misuzu: "Unlike Dr. Isaac, who looks over the wellbeing of all of the personnel, or Tonto-san, who manages the ship, we are from the investigations department and fight criminals in the field. This much is to be expected." Chuta: "There she goes again, being condescending." Misuzu: "Please dodge that." Chuta: "What?" Dolugh: "Chuta, behind you!" Chuta: "Huh?" Chuta: "Ow." Chuta: "H-Hey! What was that for?!" Misuzu: "I told you to dodge." Chuta: "Wha—" Chuta: "So if I told you to dodge, you'd dodge whatever?" Misuzu: "Yes. Even if you said, "Please dodge," or "Dodge that." Even if it was shortened to something like "dog," I'd dodge." Chuta: ""Dog"? That doesn't even mean the same thing!" Misuzu: "Dodge... doge... dog... "dodge" becomes "dog"!" Dolugh: "Misuzu is being ridiculous." Chuta: "Yeah." Chips: "Th-Th-Th-Th-There's trouble, chu! It looks like level 100 was somehow pushed, chu!" Chuta: "Huh? Level 100?" Dolugh: "It looks like smoke." Chuta: "If we get stung by that many, we're going to die!" Misuzu: "Inspector Chips, please push the emergency stop button." Chips: "I've been pushing it, but it's not working, chu!" Chuta: "What?!" Tonto: "Oh, there you are. I brought a notification about the bazaar." Chips: "This isn't good, chu! Tonto's become the target!" Tonto: "Flies?" Tonto: "Meow!" Tonto: "What is this? It's so fun!" All: "Huh?" Tonto: "Annihilated! I'm an expert when it comes to fly swatting." Dolugh: "I guess people have all kinds of talents." Chuta: "Since we actually fight criminals in the investigtions department, I guess we need to work harder..." Misuzu: "I shouldn't have told you to dodge earlier." Chuta: "Wha..." Chuta: "Have to keep an eye on the two transfer students. Have to keep an eye on the two transfer students." Chuta: "Sonokata! Don't scare me like that!" Misuzu: "What is this?" Chuta: "I-I thought it might be useful to keep an eye on the transfer students from far away." Misuzu: "It actually makes you look even more suspicious." Chuta: "That's why it says "bird watching"!" Misuzu: "That's pointless." Chuta: "I told you, Dolugh." Dolugh: "But you were going along with it, Chuta." Chips: "This is Inspector Chips, chu. Can you hear me, chu?" Both: "Yes." Chips: "The two transfer students have a cold and didn't come to school today, chu." Chuta: "Cold?" Dolugh: "That's disappointing, Chuta." Chuta: "I guess the transfer students might not have had anything to do with it, after all. But isn't it weird that they both got a cold at the same time?" Yamanaka: "This is sudden, but we've got a new transfer student in class today." Chuta: "N-Now there's one in our class?" Kids: "What? You didn't tell us!" Dolugh: "I guess things like this happen." Yamanaka: "Come on in." Chuta: "G-Gucchi...?" Yamanaka: "Go ahead and introduce yourself." Dolugh: "What's wrong, Chuta? Your heart is racing." Chuta: "He looks like Gucchi..." Transfer Student C: "Nice to meet you all. I'm Mikio Narita." Chuta: "It's someone else? Well, of course, it is..." Chips: "It looks like the school had no plans to accept a transfer student until this morning, chu. Also, there are no files on a Mikio Narita, chu. Just in case, keep an eye on that transfer student, chu." Both: "Yoyosa!" English Teacher: "He was in the reception room then." English Teacher: ""He" means "he." "Then" means "then." "He" was in the reception room "then."" Misuzu: "So far, there is nothing suspicious about the transfer student." Chips: "Roger, chu." Dolugh: "Are you sure it's okay to approach him in the open like this?" Chuta: "Talking to a classmate isn't weird, is it?" Chuta: "Hey." Chuta: "I'm Kokonose. I'm in the same class as you." Transfer Student C: "Hey." Chuta: "Are you heading home?" Transfer Student C: "I have to leave early because of my parents." Transfer Student C: "Um... to some place called Keiki Town 8-chome." Dolugh: "That's an address where Gucchi used to live!" Chuta: "What... What's with this guy?" Chuta: "I-I'm leaving early, too. I'm going the same way, so I'll show you the way." Transfer Student C: "Huh? Nah, I'd feel bad. I have somewhere to stop along the way, too." Chuta: "Oh, that's fine." Misuzu: "Inspector Chips, Officer Kokonose is tracking the transfer student and leaving school early." Chips: "Roger, chu. Then I'll follow both of them, chu." Mcclane: "Chief Laine! Headquarters have sent us data on the crew on the DeMillle ship." Laine: "All right. Let's see it." Laine: "This face... I've seen it before." Laine: "Riggs, could you send me the case file on Case BD2382?" Riggs: "Yoyosa!" Laine: "Harry, could you confirm if there's a possibility that the two I'm about to send you are the same person?" Harry: "Yoyosa!" Harry: "Inputting all of the data on the two. Using the truffle style algorithm to find the answer." Harry: "We got results! There is a 98% probability that they are the same person." Laine: "I knew it..." Laine: "How is Chuta doing?" Mcclane: "Um... Whoa, what is this?" Riggs: "Various radars as well as communicators are down. It's due to outside interference." Laine: "What?" Mcclane: "We're being hit by hardcore jamming! Communication with Earth is impossible." Mcclane: "Locating the investigation personnel is impossible." Mom Robo: "The two have currently gone through a park and are heading north." Chips: "Did you need something, chu?" Transfer Student A: "Yeah." Transfer Student B: "We do, ēlDLIVE." Chip: "Who are you, chu?" Transfer Student B: "You don't need to know that." Chips: "Don't underestimate me, chu. This Melpleian humanoid powered armor has a number of SPH weapons equipped, chu." Chips: "Guess you're about to find out personally, chu. Program drive, chu!" Chips: "Crap, chu! I pushed the emergency eject button, chu!" Misuzu: "Inspector Chips?" Chips: "I can't eat another bite, chu..." Misuzu: "He fell asleep?" Shizu: "Misuzu?" Misuzu: "I left my racket on the court during morning practice, so I'm going to go get it." Teacher: "What? Right now?" Misuzu: "Inspector Chips! Officer Kokonose! Please come in!" Riggs: "The jamming is intensifying!" Laine: "Hurry up with the analysis!" Harry: "Yoyosa!" Laine: "Even if we can't use the electromagnetic radar, the SPH radar should be functional. Méliès! Find Chuta and the others!" Melies: "Yoyosa! I'm unable to find even a faint trace of their SPH within a five-kilometer radius of the school. But it's possible they are actually in the vicinity. Because looking at the records from this morning, only the SPH signals from Chips, Misuzu, and Chuta are missing." Melies: "Which means that something's blocking their specific SPHs from showing up on the radar." Riggs: "Something's..." Laine: "...not letting us track them?" Crew B: "The Earth is being exposed to the jamming as well as to the SPH suppression rays." Crew A: "Ha ha! How do you like DeMille's newest weapon?" Crew A: "ēlDLIVE must be in sheer panic right now. The captain can do all the bad things he wants." Laine: "This isn't good... Chuta and the others are isolated." Chuta: "I-I'm surprised you needed to visit Sengen Shrine." Chuta: "So what did you need to do?" Gucchi: "It's nostalgic, isn't it?" Gucchi: "We used to play here all the time..." Gucchi: "...with Michiyo and Matsutaro." Misuzu: "Inspector Chips!" Misuzu: "Please wake up!" Transfer Student A: "Your scent is irresistible..." Transfer Student B: "Sonokata Misuzu." Misuzu: "The transfer students!" Transfer Student A: "Nap time." Transfer Student C: "We all fell off a cliff and died, so why were you the only one allowed to survive," Transfer Student C: "Chuta?" Chuta: "So you really are Gucchi!" Some: "Sonokata looked just like her mom! They had the same eyes. At this rate, I guess that's how Sonokata's going to look, too..." Chuta: "Uh... Right." Dolugh: "Next time on ēlDLIVE, "A Pursuer From the Past: Part 2.""

Chuta: "Y-You were alive... Gucchi!" Dolugh: "You okay, Chuta?" Chuta: "Gucchi?" Gucchi: "I haven't forgotten..." Gucchi: "The fact that you made us fall off a cliff..." Chuta: "Gucchi, Michiyo, Matsutaro. Since we're on this field trip, let's climb to the top of Mount Taketori." Matsutaro: "Okay." Michiyo: "That sounds fun!" Gucchi: "I wonder if it's really okay for us to go off on our own like this." Chuta: "It'll be fine! We should enjoy our free time." Chuta: "It'll be fine! There's a lot of time before we have to meet back up with everyone." Gucchi: "Are you talking to yourself again, Chuta?" Chuta: "Oh, sorry." Chuta: "Gucchi! Michiyo! Matsutaro!" Gucchi: "Help me!" Michiyo: "I'm scared!" Chuta: "Wait right there! I'll save you! Okay... Huh? What? The right? Got it!" Gucchi: "It's true that we were in a dangerous situation back then, but we should have just stayed on that ledge and waited for help." Gucchi: "If only a certain someone hadn't destroyed a precarious ledge..." Dolugh: "Calm your breathing, Chuta." Chuta: "Calm down... Calm down... Say it now. Say what you've been waiting to say all this time." Chuta: "I'm sorry, Gucchi..." Gucchi: "Huh? You know damn well sorry's not enough!" Gucchi: "Do you know the hell I went through? After falling off the ledge, I crashed into the ground, and was crushed by rocks. I heard things breaking all throughout my body." Gucchi: "I knew I was going to die..." Gucchi: "But as my conscious was fading, I was engulfed by light..." Gucchi: "I... miraculously came back to life. Because of them." Chuta: "Them?" Dolugh: "Someone's coming." Tourist1: "That was actually quite the climb." Tourist2: "Excuse me, would you take our picture?" Gucchi: "Don't butt into our conversation." Chuta: "A bomb?" Dolugh: "Chuta, look." Chuta: "No! Wh-What are you doing, Gucchi?!" Gucchi: "And what are you expecting from me?" Gucchi: "I'm not the same Gucchi anymore." Chuta: "DeMille's mark... Are you..." Gucchi: "Yeah. DeMille saved my life, so I joined them. I'm currently a captain that's in charge of his own vessel." Chuta: "Y-You're lying..." Gucchi: "My mission is to analyze the forces that stand in the way of DeMille's plan to take over Earth. Which means the analysis of ēlDLIVE's power. I knew that ēlDLIVE personnel were hiding in Shirobori Middle School, but I hadn't been able to pinpoint who they were. So I sent in my subordinates, and had them smoke out the personnel by using the sleeping SPH." Chuta: "So that was SPH... DeMille was behind that after all!" Gucchi: "But I must say that I was surprised. To think that you'd be in ēlDLIVE... And you have graciously helped me accomplish my second mission." Chuta: "Second mission?" Gucchi: "It's to steal your Monitalien." Chuta: "What?! Steal Dolugh?!" Gucchi: "Ah, so that's him. The value of the unknown technology from Planet Griffith that's within that Monitalien is immeasurable." Chuta: "It's impossible for you to steal him! There's no way for you to pull him out!" Dolugh: "Only as long as you don't die, Chuta." Gucchi: "Killing Chuta to separate you two won't be happening. Even if the Monitalien matures, if its host dies, everything other than its informational data gets reset." Gucchi: "But with DeMille's technology, I can separate you while you're alive." Chuta: "Wha..." Dolugh: "I don't wanna get cut." Chuta: "I don't wanna get hurt, either!" Gucchi: "Hey." Tarsemian A: "Roger." Tarsemian B: "Captain." Chuta: "Sonokata! Inspector Chips!" Gucchi: "Considering that we're old friends, if you hand over the Monitalian without resisting, not only will I return these hostages to you, I'll even forget about the fact that you threw me off a cliff." Chuta: "Huh?!" Gucchi: "I know your personality pretty well, Chuta." Gucchi: "You've been blaming yourself ever since, haven't you? Even though I'm the victim here, I'm telling you that I'm willing to completely let it go. No one will blame you anymore." Gucchi: "You won't have to suffer." Chuta: "I won't have to suffer..." Dolugh: "Chuta! I'm starting to fade." Chuta: "If that's what it'll take for you to forgive me..." Dolugh: "Chuta?!" Chuta: "If I can forget it all..." Dolugh: "Chuta!" Gucchi: "You just have to give up the Monitalien and ask for your past to be erased." Gucchi: "You'll feel better." Chuta: "I'll feel better..." Dolugh: "Chuta, I want to continue existing with you." Chuta: "Shut up..." Chuta: "If I just hand you over, everything that's happened up until now... All the hardships I went through... All of it... All of it..." Dolugh: "Chuta." Chuta: "All of it... All of it..." Gucchi: "It looks like you've made up your mind." Chuta: "Yeah." Chuta: "The past doesn't need to be erased." Chuta: "Because..." Chuta: "...there are precious memories there, too. And... if I'm with Dolugh, I can fight bad guys like you. So..." Chuta: "I'm not handing Dolugh over!" Chuta: "I thank you, Gucchi. If I hadn't been reunited with you, I wouldn't have ever been able to think like this." Gucchi: "What?" Chuta: "And sorry..." Chuta: "I'm a member of the Space Police." Gucchi: "You bastard..." Chuta: "Let the hostages go and give yourself up." Tarsemian: "Don't you move! I'll kill her!" Chuta: "Dolugh, can you beat that guy without hurting Sonokata?" Dolugh: "It'd be hard at this distance. Wait, Chuta. Look at Misuzu's pocket!" Chuta: "A red wrapper? That's..." Dolugh: "That's the anti-sleep SPH waking medicine." Chuta: "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in an intergalactic court of law. And... in the detention center, you can pick a Japanese-style or Western-style dinner menu!" Gucchi: "What are you talking about?" Chuta: "You remember, right, Sonokata? By the way, the Western style is steak, and the Japanese style is... ...salmon!" Misuzu: "Please disappear without leaving a trace." Gucchi: "SPH D Blade." Chuta: "Huh?!" Misuzu: "He's good..." Dolugh: "He's on par with Misuzu." Chuta: "I can be, too.." Misuzu: "You're in the way. Please step back!" Gucchi: "She's right. Nothing good happens when you get involved!" Chuta: "Sonokata!" Gucchi: "Back then... Us falling off that cliff, and this woman dying here right now," Gucchi: "is all your fault, Chuta!" Chuta: "Gucchi, no!" Gucchi: "It's too late!" Chuta: "No! Gucchi, don't!" Gucchi: "This is the end!" Chuta: "Stop!" Dolugh: "Sympathy!" Gucchi: "You really haven't changed, Chuta... You can never leave your friends alone." Chuta: "G-Gucchi!" Gucchi: "Now we can finally talk." Gucchi: "There was a recorder implanted here that DeMille uses to monitor their personnel." Chuta: "Huh?" Gucchi: "You even took care of my subordinates, so I'm not being monitored by anyone right now." Gucchi: "Don't worry, Chuta. They're not dead, either." Chuta: "Huh?" Gucchi: "They're just covered in a black film and unconscious. That's my specialty, which DeMille hasn't caught onto yet." Chuta: "Which means..." Gucchi: "When you declined the deal earlier, I'm not sure why, but it made me really happy." Gucchi: "It was like, yeah... that's my buddy, Chuta." Chuta: "Gucchi... You're actually Gucchi!" Dolugh: "You guys sure are buddy-buddy all of a sudden." Chuta: "Wha— Shut up, Dolugh!" Gucchi: "So when you were talking to yourself, you were actually talking to that Monitalien?" Chuta: "Yeah, I just found that out recently." Chuta: "It's not that funny." Gucchi: "There's something that I'm pretty certain about." Chuta: "Hm?" Gucchi: "Michiyo and Matsutaro are alive somewhere in the universe." Chuta: "Huh? Really?!" Gucchi: "For sure! Even I was alive." Gucchi: "Also... I plan to stay in DeMille a little longer. I'll use DeMille, and you use ēlDLIVE to find Michiyo and Matsutaro." Chuta: "I see... Yeah, that's a great idea!" Gucchi: "Right? Ow..." Chuta: "Are you okay?" Gucchi: "It hurts." Chuta: "Sorry... It's all because of me again." Gucchi: "That was an unavoidable accident." Gucchi: "The part of the cliff we were on was already starting to crumble." Gucchi: "But knowing you, I figured you'd been blaming yourself this whole time... And I was exactly right." Chuta: "Gucchi..." Chuta: "Sonokata!" Misuzu: "You're in the way." Gucchi: "Don't tell anyone what we talked about. It's better off if we seem like enemies." Chuta: "Gucchi, if you fail your mission, aren't you going to get killed?" Gucchi: "I'm not like the grunts. They won't get rid of me that easily. More importantly, you should be worrying about your own ship. I'm not gonna hold back! Also... don't worry about my mom." Misuzu: "I'm surprised you're still alive," Misuzu: "though you were in the way." Chuta: "S-Sorry..." Dolugh: "Chuta! The Solar System Bureau is in danger!" Chuta: "Oh, yeah. Sonokata! DeMille..." Chuta: "These fireworks are the way you guys communicate when you can't use the radio?" Dolugh: "It stinks! It stinks! It stinks! It stinks!" Misuzu: "We shoot up the cartridge SPH in order as a sign." Laine: "How's the analysis on the jamming going?" Harry: "It's complete!" Melies: "Chief! I've detected an emergency signal from the Earth 34th Local Branch." Laine: "It must be Misuzu and the others!" Melies: "I'm gonna read it. "There is a strong possibility that DeMille will attack the bureau directly."" Laine: "Understood. All units, prepare for battle." Laine: "Room Chief Magnoli, hurry and generate the SPH barrier." Magnoli: "Yoyosa!" Laine: "What's wrong?" Riggs: "There's been an explosion nearby." Laine: "Harry!" Harry: "The jamming nullification wave is ready to go. Firing!" Tonto: "Bringing the radar back online." Riggs: "We're being surrounded by multiple small-scale mines." Laine: "What?" Laine: "Shoot them down!" Riggs: "Yoyosa!" Voice 3: "This is the traffic division. We've got a gaping hole!" Voice 4: "How's the engine?" Voice 5: "It's intact!" Mcclane: "They're so fast that we can't hit them with the lasers." Laine: "What's the status on the SPH barrier?" Magnoli: "Good to go, ribbit!" Laine: "Do it!" Magnoli: "All right, space moss. Make sure you spit out plenty of barrier SPH, ribbit." Magnoli: "Protection SPH spraying." Chuta: "Ow!" Sheronimo: "Welcome back, shero." Misuzu: "Can we get a status report?" Sheronimo: "We're being attacked by multiple small-scale mines, shero." Gucchi: "It's better off if we seem like enemies. " Chuta: "Yeah, but do you have to go this far?" Harry: "It's no use! There're just too many mines!" Gucchi: "What are you gonna do, ēlDLIVE Captain?" Dolugh: "What's wrong, Chuta?" Chuta: "I was just thinking those small-scale mines looked like something..." Misuzu: "You mean our battle training?" Chuta: "Yeah, that!" Chuta: "Chief Laine!" Laine: "Hey. You're alive." Chuta: "I have an idea!" Tonto: "You think up some interesting things." Chuta: "I remembered the training from the other day. I'm sure that Tonto-san's fly-swatting will be able to defeat those mines!" Tonto: "I'll give it a shot. Chief, I'm about to begin." Laine: "Thanks." Tonto: "The connection between all the gun ports and my paw pads is complete. Aligning hologram deployed!" Tonto: "This ship is now my body..." Tonto: "...and the laser cannons are my paw pads!" Tonto: "There, meow!" Gucchi: "Wow, not bad. Then..." Tonto: "They moved to where the lasers won't reach. This is the laser cannon pod. Please turn the bow of the ship 60 degrees to the left." Riggs: "Port! Turning the bow of the ship 60 degrees..." Laine: "Wait. Keep the angle as-is." Mcclane: "But..." Laine: "Fire the elmaser cannons! Spread it out as wide as possible." Riggs: "Yoyosa!" Laine: "Harry! From the sector which is 30 degrees from starboard, analyze the optimal position to blanket Japan with SPH, and target that point." Mcclane: "But I don't see anything at the target..." Laine: "It doesn't matter. Fire the elmaser cannons!" Harry: "That's..." Riggs: "...a DeMille ship!" Laine: "Lucky us." Riggs: "I see. So the enemy was intentionally trying to get the Jeanrenoi-R to face left by using the mines. By facing to the side and exposing more surface area, they would have been able to shoot their main armament directly at the ship's body. That's how the chief knew that the enemy ship was 30 degrees from starboard. We also found a hint from their new weapon that was blocking the SPH radar. The enemy vessel was located at the most optimal SPH firing point." Chuta: "I'm not really sure I understand, but the chief must be amazing." Crew B: "Our stealth dome has been eliminated." Crew A: "We're in plain sight." Gucchi: "Yeah, apparently that ship's captain has been in a few battles." Gucchi: "I guess we should fall back." Crew A: "Huh? What about our counterattack?" Gucchi: "We got the data we were after." Gucchi: "You found yourself a good bureau, Chuta." Gucchi: "See you soon!" Harry: "The DeMille vessel is about enter warp speed. They've disappeared from our radars. The mines have also stopped functioning." Riggs: "It looks like the DeMille ship was able to get away for now." Laine: "Yeah." Chuta: "Jeez... You scared me for a sec, Gucchi..." Dolugh: "I was lucky because of Gucchi." Chuta: "Huh?" Dolugh: "You said we could coexist." Chuta: "You consider that lucky?" Dolugh: "Is it not?" Chuta: "I guess it wouldn't be unlucky..." Chuta: "Honestly, back there, somehow... I felt courage welling up inside me when I looked into Dolugh's eyes." Gucchi Mom: "Chuta Kokonose-kun, right?" Chuta: "Gucchi's mom... It's been a while. Um, I'll be going now." Gucchi Mom: "Please wait, Chuta-kun." Gucchi Mom: "Please forgive me for blaming you back then..." Gucchi Mom: "I was wrong." Gucchi: "I'm very sorry." Chuta: "Huh?" Gucchi Mom: "A month before the field trip when Ken came home covered in dirt..." Gucchi: "My friends gave me these." Gucchi Mom: "...he was so happy as he held that blue box.." Chuta: "It must have been the time capsule we all put together." Chuta: "So Gucchi actually dug it up and brought it home right after..." Dolugh: "That was why we couldn't find it." Gucchi Mom: "It was in Ken's room this whole time," Gucchi: "but yesterday, I heard something, so I went to check..." Gucchi Mom: "It had disappeared suddenly." Gucchi Mom: "And this was there instead." Gucchi Mom: "There's no reason this badge should be in our house." Gucchi Mom: "Because it was on his backpack the day he disappeared..." Gucchi Mom: "He's alive..." Gucchi Mom: "He's holding the fun memories he had with all of you close." Chuta: "I want to tell her that I met Gucchi, but..." Gucchi Mom: "Chuta-kun." Gucchi Mom: "If he came back, would you play with him again?" Chuta: "Yes." Riggs: "To think that the captain of the DeMille vessel was a childhood friend of Officer Kokonose..." Tonto: "But why is his picture in this old case file?" Laine: "About that... Actually..." Mcclane: "Chief! We have a visitor from HQ." Belalugo: "I'm coming in." Belalugo: "I am Belalugo, a high-ranking investigator working directly under Mothers." Dolugh: "Chuta, this is your chance to learn how to write up a report." Chuta: "I'm sure she's just going to mock me, like, "You can't even write up reports?" as usual." Chuta: "By the way, I've been meaning to ask... You were faking being asleep and being taken hostage, so why didn't you wake up earlier?" Misuzu: "So they'd lead me to the ship's captain." Chuta: "I see." Misuzu: "And if you had succumbed to the enemy's psychological attack and agreed to the deal, you would have been deemed unfit for this job, and I could have had you kicked out of ēlDLIVE without a trace." Chuta: "Huh?! So you were testing me?" Misuzu: "But... you made the right decision. I actually see you in a new light, slightly." Chuta: "There you go, bringing me down.... Huh? What did you just..." Misuzu: "I said that I see you in a new light." Chuta: "What?! No way!" Dolugh: "That's the first time Misuzu's complimented you." Misuzu: "May I continue eating now?" Chuta: "Sonokata... you got something..." Misuzu: "S-Stop laughing at me." Chuta: "Maybe... I've been wrong about Sonokata." Dolugh: "Chuta!" Bela: "Freeze, Misuzu Sonokata!" Bela: "You're under arrest on suspicion of aiding and abetting of a murderer." Chuta: "Huh? Sonokata's being arrested?" Chuta: "This salmon bento is really good." Someone: "Really?" Chuta: "I heard that sake lees are good for your skin, too." Misuzu: "Officer Kokonose, please stop saying "sake" so carelessly." Dolugh: "Next time on ēlDLIVE, "Something to Believe in: Part 1.""

Irwin: "Excuse me for dropping in when you're having so much fun, but..." Irwin: "Is the old man Dr. Taklamakan Strangelove here?" Irwin: "If he doesn't come out, I'm just going to have to..." Decoy Love: "Hold it. It is I. I am Dr. Love." Irwin: "Just how many body doubles do you think I've caught up until now?" Irwin: "I can tell if you're the real one or not with my SPH." Belalugo: "How long are you going to play dumb?" Misuzu: "I don't know. I have no idea what you're talking about." Belalugo: "Don't be ridiculous! This is footage taken right before your pursuit of Dragline, who escaped. We have footage of you cutting through the grid at the detention center, and letting him escape captured with a special camera. You can't talk your way out of this." Belalugo: "What are you plotting?" Misuzu: "I..." Misuzu: "I don't know... I..." Belalugo: "We're not going to fall for that!" Subordinate 1: "She really has lost consciousness." Belalugo: "What are the results of the lie-detector SPH?" Subordinate 1: "We were unable to detect anything." Belalugo: "She is a spy!" Belalugo: "We'll make her confess, no matter what." Subordinate 2: "Next, head to Interrogation Room 6." Mcclane: "We're not even done fixing up Jeanrenoi-R from the DeMille attack yet." Mcclane: "This is the last thing we need." Chuta: "It can't be helped. Sonokata's a suspect." Mcclane: "She's a suspect but the footage of her letting a murderer escape was captured with a special camera, right? Of course she's a spy." Chips: "Misuzu hasn't confessed, chu." Mcclane: "Well it's still true that there's footage of it. Misuzu might have been looking into all of us, too." Chips: "That's not true, chu! I've been with Misuzu ever since she joined the bureau, so I know, chu!" Mcclane: "Both the way you think and your SPH reeks of a kid." Chips: "And you reek just as bad as your afro!" Tonto: "And that's enough." Dolugh: "Do you think that Misuzu is a spy, Chuta?" Chuta: "Of course not." Dolugh: "Even though she was caught on camera?" Chuta: "Even then, I trust Sonokata. Um... for the same reason as Assistant Inspector Chips." Dolugh: "But unlike Chips, you haven't known Misuzu for very long." Chuta: "Wha— W-Well, yeah, but... you seem rather persistent about this. Do you want to make Sonokata the culprit?" Dolugh: "No! I just want to know why you want to trust Sonokata, even when it means averting your eyes from the truth." Chuta: "I'm not averting my eyes from the truth..." Subordinate 3: "Next. Come into the interrogation room." Chuta: "Yes, sir." Subordinate 1: "In regards to the fever that the suspect has developed for the past two hours, the cause of it is still unknown." Belalugo: "Fix it! Straighten her up!" Subordinate 4: "What do you want? Investigator Belalugo is busy." Laine: "Then I'll just wait right here." Subordinate 4: "If words aren't enough..." Subordinate 4: "Ow!" Subordinate 4: "Wh-Why, you..." Laine: "I guess I don't have a choice." Laine: "Jeez, you're hard..." Belalugo: "Laine Brick!" Laine: "One of your subordinates tried to get rid of me with violence, so I used self-defense." Laine: "If you doubt me, check the special camera footage that you like so much." Belalugo: "What do you want?" Laine: "As the chief of this bureau, I request an interview with Officer Misuzu Sonokata." Belalugo: "Request denied! I have no obligation to let you see her." Laine: "Misuzu should have a high fever right about now. And if a suspect becomes ill during interrogation, they should be able to accept treatment from their personal physician." Belalugo: "Personal physician?" Belalugo: "That's only reserved for special cases for those ill who are above Level 50." Laine: "Yes... and she falls in that case. If I told you that she's a test subject of the Taklamakan Project, you should understand." Belalugo: "What?" Laine: "You'll allow me to send her personal physician and an assistant to treat her, won't you?" Belalugo: "Very well. However, I won't be going any easier on the interrogation!" Tonto: "Chief!" Tonto: "There's an emergency message from Superintendent Kieshi." Laine: "All right. I'll be right there." Dahli: "So that's the only conversation that you had with Officer Sonokata at the detention center?" Chuta: "Yes..." Dahli: "And everything you said is the truth?" Chuta: "Again with the truth thing. Jeez... everyone going on about truths." Dahli: "Officer Kokonose, was that the truth?" Chuta: "Even Dolugh said I was bending the truth earlier..." Dolugh: "Chuta, he's asking you a question." Chuta: "Oh... uh..." Dahli: "Look into my eyes!" Chuta: "Y-Yes, sir!" Dahli: "Next." Dolugh: "Chuta, were you thinking about something earlier?" Chuta: "This is all because you asked me why I trust Sonokata before I got interrogated." Chuta: "Ow." Veronica: "Ow! What do you think you're doing? You're going to crush my horn." Chuta: "Horn? Y-You're the one who bumped into me." Veronica: "I don't remember. I was out of it from just waking up." Chuta: "What? She's making it sound like my fault!" chka: "Sorry. She's suffering from jetlag." chka: "Are you all right?" Chuta: "I-I'm fine. Thanks..." Chuta: "They look to be around my age..." Isaac: "Chuta! Do you have a second?" Chuta: "Yes." Chuta: "This is..." Chuta: "I still don't believe that Sonokata let Dragline escape back then." Misuzu: "Hurry and run..." Chuta: "Sonokata!" Isaac: "This isn't good. Her memories are starting to get muddled. Hang in there, Misuzu." Chuta: "Wh-What's going on? What did they do to Sonokata?" Isaac: "They didn't do anything to her." Isaac: "Her medicine lost its effect." Chuta: "Medicine?" Isaac: "Do you remember me telling you that Misuzu was taking medicine to let her adapt to the environment?" Dolugh: "It's the medicine she got from sick bay." Isaac: "Misuzu doesn't know it, but it's a drug to help the aftereffects from a top-secret project." Chuta: "Aftereffects?" Isaac: "Yes." Isaac: "What I'm about to tell you is a secret that only the chief, Chips, and I know." Isaac: "Misuzu was forced to undergo a certain treatment in the past. But because of that, her body's balance was destroyed and she lost a half year's worth of her memories." Chuta: "What?" Isaac: "That treatment implanted an SPH-producing organ within her from another individual, and her personality underwent a change." Isaac: "It's called the Taklamakan Project. But the project ended in failure, and most of those who underwent the procedure lost their lives, or their bodies ended up with some defect. And... Misuzu lost all of her memories regarding the treatment, and she became unable to survive without taking the medication." Chuta: "Why was Sonokata forced to undergo something like that?" Isaac: "I don't have the answer to that. It's top secret." Chuta: "Why did you tell me this?" Isaac: "Why else?" Isaac: "It's because you're in a position to protect Misuzu." Chuta: "Protect Sonokata... Me?" Isaac: "By the way, the chief knows that I was going to talk to you about this." Chuta: "The chief..." Laine: "Investigations department 2nd Division, you have a mission. Come to the chief's quarters." Laine: "I need you to bring this scientist, who is currently residing on Earth, to the bureau." Laine: "Dr. Love. He's one of the best scientists in the universe." Isaac: "He's an old acquaintance of mine. He's 500 years old and a weirdo." Chuta: "500 years old?!" Laine: "Dr. Love hates interferences, so we came this far without providing him with security. But four out of five of his body doubles have been killed lately." Chips: "Ack!" Laine: "Since it's become this dangerous, we aren't able to leave this matter alone. ēlDLIVE HQ has sent an order to provide protection." Chuta: "Um, but..." Chips: "Right now, I'm worried about Misuzu, chu." Laine: "Are you worried, too, Chuta?" Chuta: "Yes." Laine: "Don't let your personal feelings get in the way of your work!" Chuta: "I-I'm sorry!" Laine: "Well, I understand how you feel. Ever since Misuzu was arrested," Laine: "I've eaten way too many dumplings." Laine: "And this is completely coincidental..." Laine: "But this mission might end up being a way to save Misuzu." Isaac: "I see. Dr. Love's full name is... Taklamakan Strangelove..." Isaac: "He's the one who came up with this Taklamakan Project." Chips: "What does that have to do with saving Misuzu?" Laine: "The Doctor and I think that the actions that led to Misuzu being suspected of spying are due to a side effect of the medicine that she's taking." Chuta: "What?" Isaac: "It's unconfirmed, but a similar incident has been reported in the past. Those who have taken this medicine apparently have done things that they don't remember." Laine: "If we can get Dr. Love, who created the medicine, to testify that Misuzu cutting through the grid was a side effect, this whole thing will be deemed an accident, and she'll be declared innocent." Chips: "I see." Chuta: "I didn't understand all of that..." Dolugh: "I understood." Chuta: "...but if we bring Dr. Love back, Sonokata will be saved, right?" Laine: "You'll go, won't you?" Both: "Yoyosa!" Laine: "You'll be working with the 5th Division on this mission." Laine: "I've given the details to the leader of the 5th Division." Chips: "We were transferred upside down." Chuta: "He did it again. Come on, Sheronimo!" Chips: "But I'm in a good mood, so I'll let him off the hook, chu. Because if we bring Dr. Love back, Misuzu will be declared innocent, chu!" Chuta: "True. See, Dolugh? I was right, wasn't I? I told you that Sonokata wasn't a spy." Dolugh: "I never said she was." Chuta: "Huh?" Dolugh: "I just wanted to know why you trusted Misuzu when you didn't have anything to back it up." Chuta: "Are you still talking about that?" Chips: "I want to be included in this conversation, too! I can't hear the Monitalien's voice, chu!" chka: "Freeze!" Veronica: "Likewise." Chuta: "Whoa, wh-what?" Veronica: "Oh, it's you guys." Chuta: "Huh?" chka: "Pardon our rudeness, Assistant Inspector Chips." Chips: "You guys!" chka: "We've been waiting for you." Veronica: "We're from ēlDLIVE investigations department Division 5, and we'll be joining you on this mission." I: "Talk about calculating." R: "Still..." I: "What's matter?" R: "Misuzu's arrest and Dr. Love's guarding... The timing feels too convenient." C: "Oh, you're the girl I ran into after the interrogation!" V: "That was my bad. There, I apologized! Now it's your turn!" C: "What?!" Ch: "Let me introduce you, chu. This is the 5th Division's—" V: "Assistant Inspector Veronica Borowczyk, leader of the 5th Division." Ch: "And this is—" V: "Officer Nina Mikhailovna Pavlova." : "Call me Ninotchka." Ch: "There you have it, chu!" C: "Oh, I'm..." V: "Officer Chuta Kokonose, right?" V: "The so-called super rookie who arrested a C-ranked criminal in his entrance exam." D: "You're famous, Chuta." : "Wow, so cute!" : "Are you the Monitalien everyone's talking about?" C: "Wh-What's wrong, Dolugh?" D: "That's the first time a stranger has touched me!" : "U-Uh, I'm sorry." V: "Still, you know, you seem to be every bit as boring a guy as the rumors say." C: "There are rumors?" : "What are you saying?!" V: "Just what's on my mind." : "She's a nice person deep down. She just speaks her mind a little too freely. I don't think of you as boring." V: "Right. You're into frail boys like him." : "V-Veronica!" C: "Frail...?" V: "Seriously, though, what has Misuzu gone and done? It's so dumb, it's not even funny." : "Oh, this is her unique way of showing her love. The three of us entered ēlDLIVE at the same time, and we're close enough to really let one another have it." V: "If Misuzu and I really let each other have it, we'd be fighting to the death." C: "Contemporaries, huh?" V: "All right. Let's get to work. If we work together, I'll be able to tell at once if you really are a super rookie." V: "Okay, here we go!" All: "Yeah!" V: "We're supposed to make contact with Dr. Love in that restaurant, but keep your guards up, because there might be people out for him." V: "Go inside and check things out, Officer Kokonose." C: "Yoyosa!" V: "You're being too conspicuous! Can't you use your Monitalien to peek inside or something?!" D: "There's an idea." V: "Though most people use one of these." V: "Okay, all clear. We are a go." C: "You could've just done this yourself from the start, you demon!" : "Are you all right?" : "You can use my handkerchief, if you like." C: "Thanks, but I have my own." : "Wow, it's nice and ironed. Must've been your mother, right?" C: "Nah, it was me." : "That's amazing!" C: "By contrast, she's an angel!" Tv: "Next up, we have a story from overseas. An Italian man..." V: "Quit gawking. Dr. Love isn't here." V: "Did you really think he'd be casually sipping a cuppa when his life is in danger? He'd obviously send someone." G: "Welcome." G: "Table for three?" V: "Sorry! My grandpa forgot his hat here!" G: "Ah, I see. You're one of those customers." C: "Grandpa?" D: "I get it. That was a secret code, Chuta. Like, "What's the magic word?"" G: "If only you'd come sooner, things wouldn't have come to this." : "Is he dead?" V: "What's the meaning of this?" G: "I welcome you, ēlDLIVE." G: "If you're here, that means the real Dr. Love should be nearby." V: "So you're the one who killed his body doubles!" : "Assistant Officer Chips, contact the Jeanrenoi-R!" Ch: "You got it, chu." G: "Slow down. SPH comms won't work in here. You can't talk to your friends." G: "Now, it's my turn to ask the questions." G: "You know where Dr. Love is, don't you?" D: "This is bad, Chuta! We're surrounded!" V: "Very well. If it's a fight you want, a fight you will get!" V: "SPH..." V: "Kopnięcie!" G: "Fire!" V: "SPH..." V: "Obrót akcja!" V: "Okay!" G: "That's ēlDLIVE for you." G: "But what if they were innocent civilians?" G: "What was I doing? Where am I? I thought I was..." V: "Were these people..." : "...hypnotized?" G: "Also..." G: "If that detonates, this whole restaurant will be blown to pieces." G: "Now, where is Dr. Love?" V: "We don't know." G: "If you don't answer me honestly, everyone here goes boom." : "Veronica." V: "He's underground, beneath this restaurant. That's all I know!" G: "I see. Down here, huh? Then I guess I'd better blow up this place, after all." G: "Adiós, ladies and gentlemen." Ch: "Hurry up and stop the bomb!" C: "But how?" D: "Ice, Chuta!" D: "I saw a bomb squad freeze one on TV while you were asleep!" C: "Who said you could do that?" D: "There's no time, Chuta." C: "Okay, the same move as that time we froze the gum off?" D: "Sympathy!" C: "Freezing Bomb Stop!" V: "Okay, that delayed the explosion a little!" : "Get behind me, everyone!" V: "Ninotchka." : "I know." Ch: "Everyone's okay, chu." V: "All of you, hurry up and head somewhere safe!" C: "Was that your SPH just now?" : "Y-Yes." C: "It was really, uh, incredible!" : "U-Um..." : "Did you see?" C: "N-No, um..." V: "Hey, Officer Kokonose! This is all your fault! If you'd frozen the bomb right at the start, he wouldn't have found out where Dr. Love was, and this place wouldn't have been blown up!" V: "My conclusion: you're no super rookie." V: "You're dead weight." C: "Dead weight...?" D: "That hurts me, too." : "That's going too far, Veronica." V: "He won't get it unless I spell it out." C: "Dead weight..." D: "Oh no! Chuta's confidence is vanishing into the ether!" G: "So you're all set to escape, huh?" G: "It's him!" G: "I finally get to meet the real deal!" : "No!" : "How awful!" G: "How noisy." V: "Someone's there!" G: "Do you need this geezer for something?" G: "You're too late, though." C: "Oh, Assistant Inspector Veronica." V: "What do I do? I ruined my bed again." C: "Wait, you wet your bed?" V: "As if! My horn tore a hole in it when I turned over in my sleep!" D: "Next time on ēlDLIVE, "Something to Believe in: Part 2.""

chka: "This time, I'll make you disappear for good." Dolugh: "Dodge, Chuta." chka: "They disappeared?" Chuta: "What?" Dolugh: "Chuta, your shoulders." Chuta: "Huh?" Chuta: "Wings?" Chuta: "Wow!" Dolugh: "We can move faster than before!" Love: "The evolved abilities of a Monitalien usually would reset when it switches hosts, but when it goes back to a host, they remain." Love: "This is the phenomenon called a Monitalien's update. Though I'm the one that started calling it that." Chuta: "This is the update..." Chuta: "We can do this." Veronica: "Chief Laine." Laine: "What's the matter?" Veronica: "What's the rookie from Division 2 like?" Laine: "Chuta? Why don't you find out for yourself with this cooperative plan?" Veronica: "I want to hear your opinion, Chief." Laine: "Well... If he's able to secure Dr. Love with no issues, he probably won't win your favor." Laine: "Not as a police officer or a man." Veronica: "That sounds pretty bleak." Laine: "But..." Laine: "If you guys run into some real trouble, his core will be really reliable." Veronica: "Core?" Veronica: "I think I might understand what the chief was trying to say now..." Chuta: "We're able to move so fast that it looks like her attacks are barely moving." chka: "So are you just going to keep running away?" Dolugh: "We can't just keep running away." Chuta: "Apparently." Dolugh: "Sewing up won't work, Chuta." Chuta: "I know. But there's gotta be a way. I was so scared of her SPH earlier, but now I'm not scared at all!" Dolugh: "I agree. Hey, Chuta. Looking at it now, doesn't Ninotchka's attack look like a vegetable?" Chuta: "A vegetable?" chka: "You might be a little faster now, but you're still just as weak!" Chuta: "Just as you said, those do look like vegetables." Chuta: "They almost looks like... green onions!" Dolugh: "Sympathy!" Dolugh: "Round slice!" chka: "No..." chka: "Impossible! To think that he'd be able to stop my plan..." chka: "That means I have no use for this girl anymore. I'll make her bite her tongue off!" Chuta: "Huh?" Love: "That's not happening." Chuta: "Officer Ninotchka?" Love: "I removed the remote control SPH with this fixed SPH remover beam." Love: "She doesn't have any major injuries, so she's fine." Chuta: "So she's back to normal..." Chuta: "Thank goodness." Chuta: "Oh, yeah. What about everyone else?" Love: "I treated the blue shrimp and the Kushutonian girl, so they're both fine." Chuta: "When did you..." Love: "There are medical supplies behind the walls and floor of this facility." Love: "If we hadn't been here, she wouldn't have survived." Chuta: "Assistant Inspector Veronica..." Love: "I didn't undress her." Chuta: "I know that!" Love: "Oh, I need to treat the long-haired girl, too." Dolugh: "If Dr. Love wasn't here, Veronica would have died. Love is a good guy." Chuta: "Yeah, we owe him our lives. But he's sort of off." Love: "By the way... When I measured the remote control SPH, the estimated time when she absorbed it was only two hours prior. Do you have any ideas?" Chuta: "Huh? Two hours ago, we still hadn't left the Jeanrenoi-R." Chuta: "Does that mean that the culprit was within the bureau?" Love: "In order to use the remote control SPH on someone, they have to come in contact with the person and concentrate on them, as well." Chuta: "But how..." Love: "However, there is the matter of compatibility, so not everyone it was used on will be controlled." Love: "There's a possibility that it was used on you, too, but it had no effect." Chuta: "Really?" Love: "I can think of various ways it could have been done. For example, having to look at someone in the eyes at close range." Chuta: "Look someone in the eyes?" Chuta: "Could it be..." Chuta: "Investigator Belalugo's subordinate! Then it was when Officer Ninotchka was being interrogated?" Dolugh: "Who would've thought that the interrogator was the culprit?" Chuta: "We have to tell Chief Laine!" Laine: "Understood." Laine: "Well done, Chuta. I'll send a rescue squad right away. Take care of everyone." Laine: "Deputy Chief Riggs. This is a Code 9." Riggs: "Code 9?!" Mcclane: "The code for capturing a dangerous individual within the bureau?!" Laine: "We will immediately arrest Investigator Belalugo's subordinate, Dali Lime, on suspicion of murder and espionage." Tonto: "That guy was the culprit?" Rigs: "Yoyosa! I'll dispatch a squad to arrest him." Belalugo: "Enter." Subordinate: "Investigator Belalugo, there's an emergency message from Chief Laine." Belalugo: "What does he want?" Belalugo: "Wh-What?" Belalugo: "Dali, what are you..." Dahli: "I'll be taking your authority as an investigator." System: "Authority as an investigator has been transferred." Dahli: "For crying out loud... you were such a foolish boss to the end, Belalugo." Harry: "The emergency line to the investigator was forcibly cut off." Laine: "Are any of the squads heading to the investigator's room?" Riggs: "Squad 4 should be there soon." Squad A: "This is Squad 4. An incident has occurred!" Squad B: "We are being attacked by Officer Lando." Squad C: "This is Squad 1! Officer Taro has suddenly gone berserk!" Tonto: "What in the world is going on?" Laine: "They're just being controlled by the remote control SPH! If you have to fight back, don't harm them!" Riggs: "But..." Laine: "I know it's difficult!" Mcclane: "Are you sure that kind of leisurely countermeasure is going to work, Mr. Chief?" Mcclane: "At this rate, everyone's going to follow Belalugo to hell." Tonto: "McClane?" Mcclane: "I'm telling you that Dali-sama is going to control the personnel in the bureau one by one and kill everyone!" Chuta: "Ow!" Dolugh: "You were the only one upside down, Chuta." Chuta: "Why?" Love: "I corrected the transferring data before we left, but apparently I forgot to fix yours." Sheronimo: "There's trouble, shero! Some of the personnel are being controlled and attacking others, shero!" Chuta: "What?!" Sheronimo: "They're saying that they're going to kill everyone, shero!" Love: "They're bluffing." Chuta: "Huh?" Love: "Only five percent of those who have been put under the remote control SPH can be controlled. There's no way they can kill everyone with that many." Chuta: "Then..." Love: "The culprit has a different motive." Chuta: "Different?" Love: "The culprit said that he was going to open the gate to some treasure with my brain, right? Right now, he's trying to get hold of that gate." Chuta: "Gate? Dr. Love, what is the gate?" Love: "Have you ever heard of the Taklamakan Project?" Love: "We must hurry. She's in danger." Riggs: "Chief! More personnel are being controlled." Riggs: "Now all of the squads are dealing with personnel who are being controlled." Laine: "This isn't good. Dali is controlling people indiscriminately... What's his motive?" Harry: "Chief... A door's been opened with the investigator's authority. It's the detention center!" Laine: "The detention center?" Laine: "From what was being said earlier, Dali's already killed Belalugo. He must've stolen the investigator's authority then." Laine: "Could Dali's true motive be... Then the timing of everything would make sense!" Laine: "Which squad is closest to the detention center?" Riggs: "Squad 3. They're currently fighting in Hall 72." Tonto: "Even if they were to make a detour, the shortest route would take ten minutes." Laine: "Crap! He's totally got us." Tonto: "Chief!" Dahli: "It's time to go, Great Gate to the Treasure. We're finally able to be alone together. I was going to have Dr. Love open the gate with his medical techniques, but that brat got in the way. But I'm going to open up this gate, no matter what it takes... Which means your memories that have been locked away." Dahli: "Don't worry. Dr. Love isn't the only scientist around. Even if I have to over medicate you or chop up your brains, I'm going to obtain it... Wha—" Chuta: "Get away from Sonokata!" Dahli: "It's you again..." Chuta: "Dolugh! We're going to block the jail!" Dolugh: "Then we're doing that one thing, right?" Dahli: "I'm not going to give up when I've come this far!" Chuta: "Crochet!" Dahli: "Damn it! I won't be able to win against him with my SPH!" Dolugh: "He's running away, Chuta!" Chuta: "Hold it!" Utah: "Chief Laine?!" Laine: "Is there a spacesuit that I can use immediately?" Utah: "Uh, where are you going?" Laine: "I'm gonna take a little walk." Dahli: "You're not going to catch me!" Chuta: "You're not getting away!" System: "Identified." Harry: "Someone likely to be Dali and another just went through the emergency exit. Identifying the badge. It's Officer Kokonose!" Riggs: "Chuta..." Tonto: "That kid..." Harry: "He's going down Hall 46 in pursuit of Dali." Riggs: "Damn that Dali... He's planning on using an escape pod to escape." Harry: "But that location is currently..." Dahli: "This is farewell!" Chuta: "Hold it!" System: "Identified." Dahli: "Farewell!" Dahli: "Wha... The outside?!" Chuta: "Whoa, outer space!" Dolugh: "Vacuum!" Dahli: "This isn't good... The air..." Chuta: "You can do it, Dolugh!" Harry: "The suspect, Dali Lime, has been ejected into space from Hatch 46. His death has been confirmed. He suffocated." Tonto: "What about Chuta?" Laine: "Chuta is fine." Riggs: "That voice..." Tonto: "Chief Laine! Chief, that attire... Did you go outside to get Chuta?" Riggs: "I see. It would be easier to get there from the outside when all that panic was going on inside." Voice: "We did it!" Chuta: "Um... Chief... Sonokata's spying charges..." Laine: "You brought back Dr. Love safely. All of that will be cleared up." Chuta: "Thank goodness..." Laine: "Jeez. You overdid it." Kieshi: "Well done on getting rid of the spy and securing Dr. Love. Because you were able to find the true culprit, the charges against Officer Sonokata have been dropped. I will allow her to go back to the field." Laine: "But Assistant Commissioner..." Kieshi: "This was a decision from above. There's nothing to argue." Kieshi: "And... Dr. Love." Kieshi: "I feel like I'm in a dream." Love: "It's been a while. You've changed, Kieshi." Kieshi: "Not as much as you." Love: "Nah, you've definitely changed more. In the past, you were a stuffy police officer who wasn't afraid to bite anyone if you weren't satisfied. Now you're just spouting drivel akin to the dirty water that would come out if you wrung ēlDLIVE like a giant rag." Laine: "You can go that far?" Kieshi: "My friend, I am looking out for you. You should hide in a safe facility—" Love: "Are you going to try to force this old man to some boring place again?" Love: "Then I'd rather be here." Love: "There are many curious things about this bureau." Love: "For example, the Monitalien-like organism and one of the subjects of my project." Kieshi: "That is too dangerous. Who knows when another will appear to try to access Misuzu Sonokata's memories?" Love: "How long are you going to keep up that farce? I've told you more than once that I can return Misuzu Sonokata to a healthy state and return her memories to her. The ones who keep making her a Level 50 patient are you people." Kieshi: "That is not our decision. It is Mothers'." Love: "I have no plans to go against Mothers. I'm just saying that it's safer that I stay by her side. Because I know more about Misuzu Sonokata's body than anyone else. For example, you probably don't know that Chuta Kokonose is affecting her condition a bit, do you?" Laine: "Chuta is?" Love: "Despite how he looks, Kokonose is rather interesting. I'm pretty sure that Dolugh needs Kokonose for a reason." Kieshi: "Very well. Laine-kun, please take care of Dr. Love." Laine: "Yoyosa." Kieshi: "But give him bodyguards." Love: "You mean people to monitor me, not bodyguards, right?" urse: "Step aside!" Dolugh: "There are a lot of people hurt." Chuta: "I want to ask Dr. Isaac how Assistant Inspector Veronica and Officer Ninotchka are doing, but..." Dolugh: "Looks like they're busy right now." Misuzu: "I heard they've both regained consciousness." Chuta: "Sonokata..." Misuzu: "Apparently, it's thanks to Dr. Love's treatment." Misuzu: "They're both asleep right now." Chuta: "I see. Thank goodness." Dolugh: "Chuta, be careful. Misuzu doesn't know that she's a subject of the Taklamakan Project, or that she was being targeted." Laine: "Dali Lime was plotting to use Dr. Love to get Misuzu's sealed memories all along. And it was right around that time that Misuzu had let a prisoner escape because of the side effects of her medicine." Chuta: "Dali found out about that and put his plan into action." Laine: "Officially, this has been taken care of as an attempt at ransom and espionage. You and I are the only ones in the bureau who know the truth. This is a secret to Veronica, Ninotchka and of course Misuzu." Chuta: "Chief, what are these memories of Sonokata's that Dali was after..." Laine: "Sorry, that's top secret." Chuta: "In the end, I still don't know a lot of the important things..." Chuta: "But..." Chuta: "Sonokata's right here. That's good enough for now." Misuzu: "Um... Good job on securing Dr. Love." Chuta: "Yeah." Misuzu: "I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you with the "suspicion of being a spy" thing." Chuta: "No problem at all!" Misuzu: "I heard that the Monitalien was updated." Chuta: "Yeah, he looks a little different now, too." Misuzu: "Um... You're really close." Chuta: "Look right here! See? See?" Misuzu: "Hopefully you'll be able to update soon, and not just the Monitalien." Chuta: "Argh! After I risked my life fighting..." Chuta: "Wait up!" Misuzu: "What?!" Chuta: "Y-Your attitude! Why are you so pissy with me?" Misuzu: "I'll be more careful in the future. Is that enough?" Chuta: "No, it's not! If you have something you want to say, just say it!" Misuzu: "Then I'll tell you honestly." Misuzu: "Your SPH..." Misuzu: "Compared to before..." Misuzu: "It stinks more. Stinks... Stinks... Stinks..." Misuzu: "If you'll excuse me." Chuta: "No way... I..." Chuta: "...stink?!" Mimi: "Have a good day!" Chuta: "See you later." Mimi: "I love you, Chuta! Watch out for cars." Mimi: "I wonder what's going on with Chuta." Mimi: "He took a bath for over an hour yesterday..." Mimi: "Then he used my perfume without telling me." Mimi: "I wonder if all boys are like this when they're going through puberty." Chips: "Good morning, chu!" Misuzu: "Good morning." Chuta: "M-Morning... Um... why are we meeting at the Earth's local branch today?" Chips: "There's something we have to do there, chu." Chips: "Sniff, sniff. I smell something strong from Officer Kokonose, chu." Misuzu: "It's a perfume that Earthlings use... for ladies." Dolugh: "She figured you out." Chuta: "Um, Assistant Inspector Chips, has the smell of my SPH changed?" Chips: "Hm? Your SPH smells the same as usual, chu." Misuzu: "I was mistaken the other day. Please don't let it bother you. I apologize." Chuta: "You were mistaken? Then... I don't stink?" Misuzu: "No." Chuta: "But you've got nose plugs in!" Misuzu: "They aren't nose plugs. They are nose accessories that Tykwerians use in rituals." Chuta: "But your nose is plugged up." Dolugh: "Chuta, look!" Chips: "Oh, looks like they're here, chu." Chuta: "Wh-Wha..." Love: "Hey." Veronica: "I can finally thank you, Chuta Kokonose." chka: "Thank you very much for the other day." Chuta: "Why are the three of you wearing my school's uniform?" Chips: "Because we're all on the team that's going to be working from the same local branch on Earth, chu." Chuta: "Team?!" Chips: "Dr. Love will be our scientific research backup and also keep us healthy, chu. Investigation Division 5 is in charge of guarding Dr. Love." Chuta: "Guarding?" Veronica: "Basically, we're keeping an eye on him." chka: "Dr. Love is a very important scientist." Love: "Well, you heard her. I look forward to working with you." Love: "I believe this is the first time we've met..." Love: "Officer Sonokata." Misuzu: "N-Nice to meet you..." Chuta: "Huh? Oh, yeah. Sonokata doesn't remember anything about the Taklamakan Project, so this is supposed to be their first meeting." Chuta: "If Sonokata and Dr. Love are at the same school..." Love: "All of the students have gone home." Misuzu: "Yes, Dr. Love." Love: "Now, it's time for today's Taklamakan Project." Misuzu: "Yes, Dr. Love." Love: "Now, take off your clothes." Misuzu: "Yes, Dr. Love." Chuta: "Damn it!" Dolugh: "Pretty sure it's not what you're thinking, Chuta." Love: "Is something wrong?" Veronica: "Is he okay?" chka: "He seems rather tired." Misuzu: "This is normal." Chuta: "All of us are at the same school... What's going to happen?" e: "" Chuta: "You're very fancy, Dr. Love." Love: "But I'm only interested in the body's structure and organs." Love: "I want to touch their raw flesh. Ninotchka, will you undress for me?" Dolugh: "Next time on ēlDLIVE, "Misuzu's Lie.""

Teacher: "Quiet down. This is rather unusual, but we have three transfer students joining us." Chuta: "Tateyan?" Tateyan: "Um... Ninotchka-san! Will you be the futsal club manager?" Chuta: "What?!" chka: "Um... Me?" Veronica: "What's with him?" Teacher: "Hey, Tateno. Are you already hitting on her?" Tateyan: "Yeah, pretty much." Chuta: "He's not even denying it." Toku: "That boy transfer student... If his hobby is bodybuilding to go along with that face, he's very much my type." Shizu: "I don't think I really like that..." Dolugh: "Dr. Love is popular, too." Chuta: "They're totally being fooled by his appearance! He's actually a 500-year-old perverted scientist inside! I'm sure what's on his mind right now is..." Love: "The weather is great again today, so let's begin the Taklamakan Project here." Misuzu: "Yes, Dr. Love." Love: "You brought the tanning lotion and mat, right?" Misuzu: "Yes, Dr. Love." Love: "Now, take off your clothes." Love: "Will you put this on instead?" Misuzu: "Yes, Dr. Love." Chuta: "I want to let everyone know how dangerous he is!" Dolugh: "I'm pretty sure people think you're dangerous right now, too." Chuta: "Huh?" Chuta: "Huh?" Toku: "Hey, Misuzu. What am I going to do if that transfer boy's soleus muscle is perfectly cut?" Shizu: "Jeez." Misuzu: "What transfer boy?" Toku: "Ideally for me, I hope he just has protein in his bag." Toku: "Oh, man. I'm so tempted to peek in his bag when we clean the classroom." Misuzu And Shizu: "That's a crime." Veronica: "I'm so surprised that Misuzu goes to this school." Veronica: "Why didn't you say anything?" Toku: "Oh? Misuzu, you know the transfer girl?" Misuzu: "No. This is the first time I've seen you. You've got the wrong person." Veronica: "That's a good answer. I have a higher rank than you at work. I'll give you credit. At school, we're on common ground. I think you know this," Veronica: "but I'm not going to lose to you in academics or P.E., Misuzu!" Student A: "Wh-What?" Student B: "Is there a fight?" Chuta: "Those two are suddenly in a hostile mood. What's going on?" Toku: "Hey, what about love? Will you not lose to Misuzu in love, either?" Shizu: "Shh!" Veronica: "What's with this girl?" Misuzu: "Toku-chan..." chka: "Veronica! Let's go. Come on." Veronica: "What? It was just getting good!" Dolugh: "Ninotchka is like a responsible adult." Chuta: "True..." Tateyan: "Chuta! Come here." Chuta: "Huh? Bowling?" Tateyan: "Yeah. When I invited Ninotchka-chan bowling after school, she said she'd consider it if you, Sonokata, and the other transfer students came, too." Chuta: "What? You invited her? Wow, I didn't know Tateyan was so forward." Dolugh: "He's a very fast chubbo." Love: "At your age, your abilities to approach the opposite sex will vary." Chuta: "Dr. Love. Where'd he come from?" Love: "I haven't matured sufficiently to achieve reproduction despite having lived for 500 years, so my family line is in danger of ending with me. But people like him end up being well-liked by the opposite sex, and will leave behind many descendants." Tateyan: "Chuta, you know that transfer student?" Chuta: "I just talked to him for the first time." Tateyan: "You seem weird and fun, too. I'm Tateyan." Love: "My name is Takurama... um, I forgot. My real name is Taklamakan Strangelove." Chuta: "If you do that, then having an alias is pointless!" Tateyan: "That's a long name! Your nickname will be Takkun." Chuta: "Takkun?" Tateyan: "Takkun, you'll go bowling, too, right?" Love: "Sure." Tateyan: "So, Chuta." Tateyan: "I have a huge favor to ask you. I want you to invite Sonokata Misuzu." Chuta: "Huh?" Tateyan: "I've never talked to Sonokata. You guys seem close." Chuta: "W-We're not... I can't!" Misuzu: "I'll pass." Chuta: "See? C-Could you at least consider it? Veronica, Ninotchka, and Dr. Love will be there, too. It's just bowling." Misuzu: "I don't see a point in going." Chuta: "Come on, please?" Misuzu: "I decline." Chuta: "Man..." Misuzu: "More importantly, why didn't you ask me in person? Using your police badge for a personal matter is..." Chuta: "I don't have a choice!" Chuta: "You don't like the smell of my SPH..." Misuzu: "I-I told you that was a misunderstanding on my part..." Chuta: "You're lying! You said you were just dealing with it for the sake of the mission!" Misuzu: "That was... um..." Chuta: "Then why did you have a nose plug on?" Misuzu: "When I looked in the mirror, I suddenly thought my nose was lacking something..." Chuta: "What the heck? So that was just an accessory?" Misuzu: "Yes..." Chuta: "It doesn't look good on you at all!" Misuzu: "How would you know that? You're picking a fight with me like a child!" Laine: "Hey, you two! Don't use this line for personal matters!" Chuta: "Chief Laine!" Laine: "Your police badge isn't a cell phone!" Laine: "Jeez, you two..." Laine: "Since I heard everything you were saying, I'm going to say this as your superior... Misuzu, you go bowling, too." Laine: "You should communicate with the new team. That is an order." Misuzu: "B-But..." Laine: "Oh, and also..." Laine: "There were weak traces of SPH detected at the bowling alley near there. Right now, it could just be an error, but go check it out, just in case." Misuzu: "If it's work, I'll go." Laine: "Good. Go have fun!" Dolugh: "Isn't that great, Chuta?" Chuta: "Thank goodness." Tonto: "You're such a worrywart, Chief." Laine: "That's not true." Veronica: "All right, I'm getting fired up!" chka: "This is pretty exciting, isn't it?" Tateyan: "Yeah, really exciting." Love: "It's been about a hundred years since I last went bowling." Chuta: "A-A hundred years?!" Chuta: "You've bowled before, right, Sonokata?" Misuzu: "Yes. But the main objective today is to investigate." Radio Guest: "And when I got to the airport, there were so many cops that I was surprised. They mentioned that notorious mafiosos from all around the world were coming to Japan." Dj: "I heard about that. Isn't there a succession ceremony for some Italian mafia boss?" Radio Guest: "Right, right. But why are they doing that in Japan if they're the Italian mafia?" Veronica: "All right. No unidentified SPH." Chuta: "Nothing seems to be going on over here, either." Love: "Indeed. There doesn't seem to be anyone suspicious." chka: "Thank you for helping out with the investigation." Chips: "Just like Chief Laine said, it's a sensor error, chu." Tateyan: "What's wrong? Let's hurry up and start!" Dolugh: "Chuta, that's enough investigating for now. Let's bowl." Chuta: "But we can't let our guard down." Chuta: "I have to brace myself." Tonto: "Wow, Chief got a strike!" Chuta: "Huh?" Tonto: "Wow, you're so good!" Chuta: "Huh?" Chuta: "Huh?" Chuta: "Huh?!" Veronica: "Hey! What are the chief and the others doing here? Dr. Love, are you sure you checked the people here?!" Love: "They aren't suspicious individuals worthy of investigating." Chuta: "Th-That's true, but... Tonto-san and Deputy Chief Riggs stand out." Dolugh: "They're clearly aliens." Girl: "I wonder what cosplay that is." Guy: "It looks so real!" Misuzu: "Apparently, it's fine." chka: "I'm sure they would never think they're actually aliens..." Laine: "Hey, took you long enough." Chuta: "What are you guys doing here?" Tonto: "We're the bureau's bowling enthusiasts. We hadn't bowled any lately, so when we heard that you guys were going, we just couldn't hold back anymore." Chuta: "Well, you should have..." Tateyan: "You all know each other?" Chuta: "Tateyan?! U-Um, well..." Misuzu: "They're the president and workers at the bento factory where my mom works part-time." Chuta: "Oh, r-right! We were just introduced, too." Tateyan: "That's an amazing cosplay." Tonto: "I get that all the time!" Laine: "Don't pay us any mind. Have fun." Chuta: "You're using the next lane over! We couldn't miss you!" chka: "There!" Tateyan: "So close!" Veronica: "Don't worry about it, Nino." Kid 1: "What the heck is that?" Kid 2: "It's a balloon!" Kid 1: "It's so ugly! But it's so bouncy!" Chuta: "So mean..." Dolugh: "He can't let them know that he's an alien." Misuzu: "That's actually mine. Would you mind giving it back?" Kid 1: "Sure." Misuzu: "Are you okay?" Chips: "I want to bowl with everyone, too." Tonto: "All right! Aim for it!" Chuta: "Let's see... So far, Tateyan's at the top." Dolugh: "The ēlDLIVE members' aren't scoring as high as I thought they would..." Chuta: "True..." Tateyan: "All right, while I'm at the top, I'm gonna head to the bathroom, Takkun." Love: "Take your time expelling your body's waste." Love: "He's a rather straightforward fellow." Chuta: "He's a great guy." Veronica: "He's exactly what you think a high school boy would be like, so I don't like him. I'm surprised you agreed to go bowling, Nino." chka: "You're the one who said that we should be forward with interactions so we can get used to life on Earth, Veronica." Veronica: "Well, the competition is fun. Though I'm getting stressed with this handicap." Chuta: "Handicap?" chka: "We have a special rule that we can only score if we make a split on the first throw." Chuta: "That's when there's a space between the pins, right? You're trying to do that?!" Veronica: "Yup. And of course, using SPH is not allowed." chka: "I'm sorry that we're being so frivolous." Chuta: "They're on a completely different level!" Love: "I'm just playing normally. It's troublesome, so I'm just using one finger." Chuta: "What do you even mean?" Laine: "By the way, I'm closing my eyes and only using the pinky on my left hand when I throw." Chuta: "You don't have to go that far." Veronica: "With the handicap, Misuzu and I have really close scores. But... that ends now! I'm not gonna lose to Misuzu." Dolugh: "Veronica is provoking Misuzu again." Chuta: "Um... Why are you being so competitive with Sonokata?" Veronica: "I'm not being competitive. It's just obvious that I should beat her." Chuta: "Huh?" Veronica: "I'm a descendant of the Kushutonian race that brought peace to the Polar Galaxy for thirty centuries with military force. The Kushutonian genes are otherwise known as victory genes. We are born to win." Veronica: "So I'm not going to lose to Misuzu!" Chuta: "What kind of weird reasoning is that?" Dolugh: "Apparently, there are a lot of different ways of thinking in the universe." Veronica: "And both my mom and dad are Kushutonians, so I inherited a ton of victory genes, and I'm an ultra-rare pureblood!" Veronica: "Not bad." Love: "I think that's a rather weak reason to provoke Officer Sonokata. This is just a hunch, but there was probably some trouble in the past that's the cause of your discord." Chuta: "You okay?" chka: "Y-Yes..." Love: "Did I hit the nail on the head?" chka: "Huh?!" Chuta: "What happened to them in the past?" chka: "Um... Well, that's..." Misuzu And Veronica: "Nino." chka: "I-I don't know anything!" Veronica: "If you keep asking stupid questions, your life might end today." Chuta: "Hey, Ch-Chief Laine..." Tateyan: "These dumplings are great." Laine: "You've got potential if you can appreciate their taste!" Riggs: "One more cup of petroleum!" Tonto: "Coming right up!" Chuta: "They're not even looking over here!" Guy: "Wh-What's going on?" Chips: "Now I can bowl, too, chu." Chuta: "I-Is that..." Tateyan: "It's Sonokata's mom!" Misuzu: "Huh?!" Mom Robot: "Misuzu, it's your mom, chu." Misuzu: "M-Mom?" Tateyan: "You guys have the same eyes." Veronica: "They really do look alike. I can't tell which one is actually Misuzu." chka: "J-Jeez, Veronica." Mom Robot: "Now then..." Mom Robot: "I'm going to surpass everyone's scores at full power, chu!" Mom Robot: "Go!" Chips: "Ch-Chu?!" Chips: "Chu!" Chips: "Ow, ow, ow, chu." Chips: "So this is what the mechanisms down here look like." Chips: "Chu?" Chips: "He's suspicious, chu." Chips: "Exporting insects outside of Earth is prohibited, chu." Chips: "I'm an officer of the Space Police ēlDLIVE, chu!" Chips: "I want to have a word with you, chu." Chips: "If you resist, I'll arrest you for interfering with a public servant, chu. You have the right to remain silent... chu?! A-Anything you say can and will be used against you in an intergalactic court of l-law... chu!" Tateyan: "Is Sonokata's mom okay?" Tonto: "She's fine. She just had a late shift, so she's sleep-deprived." Chuta: "Those two are getting even more hostile. I wonder if it'll be okay..." Dolugh: "Veronica is provoking her too much." Veronica: "Hey, Misuzu. How about the loser of this game has to grovel?" Misuzu: "I see that the things you say are as immature as ever. They'll have to grovel, then go around the bureau once blowing a chikuwa like a whistle with their nose." Chuta: "Whoa, she went with it?" chka: "I'm pretty sure something terrifying will happen, no matter who wins." Veronica: "All right, I'm going for it! The most pins you can get with a split, eight! I'll show you the power of a 100% pureblooded Kushutonian!" Love: "Oh, you're not 100%." Veronica: "Huh?!" Veronica: "Oh, man, I got a strike." Tateyan: "Wow..." Veronica: "Wait, what do you mean?" Love: "During the remote control SPH incident, a lot of your organs shut down." Love: "So I used the latest artificial organ technology to compensate." Love: "They'll soon adapt to your body." Veronica: "No..." Veronica: "My purity..." Tateyan: "P-Purity?" Riggs: "Unforgivable!" Veronica: "I'm in shock..." Chuta: "But at least you're alive." chka: "He's right." Chuta: "I was happy that you recovered so quickly." Veronica: "Really?" chka: "Of course!" Chuta: "Can you stand?" Misuzu: "Please move. You're in the way. It's my turn." Veronica: "Misuzu! Why are you saying that now, anyway? A doctor should say that sooner!" Love: "Sorry. It's imprudent, but after I treated you, I got excited about challenging myself with how many critically injured patients I could save." Dolugh: "Dr. Love sure does a lot of things that are imprudent." Love: "I'll tell you sooner next time, about anything that might bother you." Love: "By the way, Officer Sonokata..." Misuzu: "Yes?" Love: "The nose plug you're wearing... Are you aware" Love: "that it's a nose accessory that Tikvahkians wear when they come of age?" Love: "If you put it on your nose, your nostrils narrow and you won't be able to smell." Misuzu: "I'm aware." Misuzu: "I'm only wearing it as an accessory. Please leave me alone." chka: "Let's go, Veronica." Dolugh: "Look at Misuzu's nose." se Plug: "Congratulations!" se Plug: "Now you're an adult, too! Hooray!" Love: "To go along with the coming of age ceremony coinciding with the release of SPH, three days after putting it on, the mechanism flies off and destroys itself." Love: "That's what I wanted to say." se Plug: "Bye bye!" Chuta: "Is my smell okay?" Chuta: "So it does smell..." Misuzu: "No! My nose just itched. I'm going to bowl now, so please move over there." chka: "Misuzu?" Dolugh: "Sympathy!" Tateyan: "No way..." Chuta: "Sonokata?" Veronica: "Misuzu?!" Chuta: "Hey, what are you..." Veronica: "I'm making her arrogant, irritating face more pleasant to look at." Love: "There's no need to worry." Laine: "Huh?" Love: "The reason I came today was to see how Officer Sonokata was doing after going back to work." chka: "Jeez..." Laine: "Man, I'm no match for you." Tonto: "Oh, no! There's an unidentified SPH signal!" Laine: "There's a signal here." Girl: "What are they doing?" Guy: "Who knows?" Chips: "Bring me more matcha, chu." Riggs: "You started the party already?" Laine: "That bowling place was actually a secret factory that the Lebownians were using to smuggle Earth insects." Laine: "The factory was covered in special walls that hides their SPH, so we couldn't find them. Well done." All: "Yoyosa!" Laine: "Well done, and right after coming back to work, Misuzu." Veronica: "Boo." Misuzu: "The ball I threw just happened to hit them." Love: "You passed out right before you threw it." chka: "Are you okay? You seemed to have a hard time breathing, Misuzu." Chuta: "It's because of my smell!" Misuzu: "I'm anemic." Misuzu: "I hadn't eaten black hanpen lately." Chuta: "Why are you lying? Do you really not want people to know that you can't work because of the smell that badly?" Love: "Perfect timing, then. Let's do a physical." Love: "Managing your health is my job." Veronica: "Good for you, Misuzu." Misuzu: "I'm fine! My primary physician is Dr. Isaac." Love: "You've misunderstood me. I just want to see your body and touch it." Chuta: "He actually said it!" Misuzu: "Stay away!" Laine: "H-Hey, Misuzu!" Misuzu: "This is self-defense." Love: "Such pretty SPH. I want to grab the SPH veins that are right under your armpits." Misuzu: "If you come any closer, I will cut you!" chka: "Armpits?" Veronica: "The stuff that Dr. Love is interested in is so chaste, it's kind of a problem." Tonto: "One vote for Misuzu's use of self-defense!" Love: "I'm just going to grab and squeeze right inside your sleeve." Misuzu: "I'll cut you!" Laine: "Don't do anything rash, Misuzu!" Chips: "Stop, chu!" Dolugh: "Love is very athletic." Chuta: "This is no time to be admiring him!" Chuta: "Yeah... Sonokata fainting like that... That's just going to make me even more self-conscious about my smell!" Chuta: "Tateyan got his hair shaved off by Sonokata... Dr. Love was able to use space's latest hair regrowth technology to get his hair back to normal..." Chuta: "But sometimes, he looks like a completely different person." Tateyan: "Next week on ēlDLIVE..." Misuzu: "I thought there were three left, but... Thanks, Nino." chka: "No problem. Apparently, Assistant Inspector Chips liked yours so much, he's been drinking it." Misuzu: "Huh?" Dolugh: "Next time on ēlDLIVE, "Capture That Face.""
