# A Place Further Than the Universe
Scenery that we have never seen. Sounds that we have never heard. Scent that we have never smelled. Food that we have never tasted. And the surge of emotion that we have never experienced. This is the expedition of recollecting the pieces torn apart and sensation left alone. When we reach that place, what will we think? Howling, 40 degree angle. Raging, 50 degree angle. Shouting, 60 degree angle. A wilderness beyond the heavy sea. The furthest south, far from civilization. At the top of the Earth. We will find lights through the girls' eyes to live tomorrow.

**[01:15] Kimari's Mom**
What was it?
**[01:16] Kimari**
I dreamed you put a wet towel on
my face in an attempt to kill me, Mom.
**[01:21] Kimari's Mom**
That *does* sound scary...
**[01:23] Kimari's Mom**
I told you yesterday to tidy up your room.

Well, I just realized, I'm in my second year

I only have so much time, so I'm wondering,
**[04:06] Kimari**
where did all that determination go?
**[04:09] Megumi**
So, what are you gonna do?

Well, that sounds fine.
**[04:34] Kimari**
I'm skipping school, though! Playing hooky!
**[04:36] Megumi**
Yeah, and it's not that big a deal.
**[04:38] Kimari**
Not that big a deal?
**[04:40] Megumi**
Hey, Kimari... have you never ditched before?
**[04:43] Kimari**
You mean you have, Megu-chan?
**[04:44] Megumi**
Sure I have. Everyone has.
**[04:47] Kimari**
Incredible!
**[04:48] Megumi**
Don't look at me like that.
**[04:50] Kimari**
So, ever gone on a journey without a plan?
**[04:52] Megumi**
I guess not.
**[04:54] Kimari**
Then... then... then...
**[04:55] Megumi**
I'm not going with you.
**[04:57] Kimari**
How'd you know that's what I meant?
**[04:58] Megumi**
It was obvious.
That's just the way you think, Kimari.
**[05:01] Megumi**
But it's meaningless, unless you
go by yourself, in my opinion.
**[05:05] Kimari**
I see...
**[05:06] Megumi**
Just go.
**[05:09] Megumi**
I'll help you.

**[05:36] Kimari's Mom**
What's the big bag for?
**[05:39] Kimari**
I had to borrow gym clothes from a friend.
**[05:41] Kimari's Mom**

**[05:43] Kimari**

**[05:58] Megumi**
Don't call me.
**[06:00] Kimari**
*I had to!*
**[06:02] Megumi**
You don't have to worry.
I already called the school.
**[06:06] Megumi**

What are you doing here?
**[06:56] Kimari**
Well... I mean, it was raining.
**[06:59] Kimari**
And I started thinking,
"you can't just skip school"...
**[07:03] Megumi**
Isn't there anywhere you wanted to go?
**[07:04] Kimari**
Sure, there is! Lots of places!
**[07:07] Kimari**
Kyoto, Okinawa, Hokkaido...
**[07:09] Megumi**
Then why didn't you go there?
**[07:11] Kimari**
Well... you know...
**[07:14] Kimari**
A plane could crash.
**[07:17] Kimari**
A shinkansen could explode...
**[07:19] Megumi**
And a meteor could fall at any time.
**[07:22] Kimari**
I know that! I know!
**[07:24] Megumi**
Then why didn't you go?
**[07:31] Megumi**
You got scared?
**[07:34] Kimari**
You know. It's the thing I've always done...
***SIGN*** Rin
**[07:37] Kimari**
When I try to join clubs,
when I try to learn new things,
**[07:40] Kimari**
when I thought about taking the entrance
exam for a really good school...
**[07:44] Kimari**
I always chicken out at the very last minute.
**[07:47] Kimari**
When I'm about to try something
I've never done before,
**[07:49] Kimari**
I start thinking,
"What if it doesn't go well?"
**[07:52] Kimari**
"I really don't want to fail."
**[07:54] Kimari**
"What if I end up regretting it?"
**[07:57] Kimari**
When the moment comes, every single time...
***SIGN*** Rin
***SIGN*** Hurry!
***SIGN*** Want to eat
**[08:04] Megumi**
Well, I don't think that's
necessarily a bad thing.
**[08:09] Kimari**

***SIGN*** I'll be back by curfew
***SIGN*** I made the usual
**[08:12] Kimari**
I really hate that part of me.
**[08:18] Megumi**
See you.
**[08:19] Kimari**
Sure.
**[08:24] Megumi**
Next time, want to hang out somewhere?
**[08:29] Kimari**
Sure!
**[08:55] Kimari**
Hey, you dropped this!
***SIGN*** Yen
**[09:34] Megumi**
Are you kidding me?
**[09:36] Megumi**
How much is there?
**[09:37] Kimari**
I counted... it was exactly one million!
**[09:40] Megumi**
A million?!
**[09:42] Megumi**
Why did you keep it? Why didn't
you take it to the police?
**[09:44] Kimari**
I freaked out!
**[09:46] Megumi**
Sure you did...
**[09:47] Kimari**
I'm serious! I seriously freaked out!
**[09:50] Kimari**
And I think... the person who dropped
it was wearing a uniform for our school.
**[09:54] Megumi**
What year?
**[09:56] Kimari**
I'm not sure...
**[09:58] Kimari**
I only caught a glimpse of her from behind.
**[10:03] Megumi**
See her?
**[10:04] Kimari**
I don't... think so.
**[10:07] Kimari**
Her hair was about as long as that
girl's, and I think she was pretty.
**[10:10] Megumi**
Anything else?
**[10:12] Kimari**
She smelled good. Conditioner, maybe?
**[10:14] Megumi**
Not much to go on...
**[10:15] Megumi**
Well, it's okay.
**[10:17] Megumi**
I don't think there are many
girls with hair that long.
**[10:20] Megumi**
I'm going to check the first-year classrooms.

Okay...

I was in middle school, though...
**[12:48] Kimari**

**[12:49] Shirase**
They never found her,
**[12:51] Shirase**
and she didn't leave much behind for me,
**[12:55] Shirase**

**[12:58] Kimari**

There's no way she's going, though.

She can't, though.

You'd need to be part of an expedition to go.

Then, why?

I dunno...

I want to encourage you!

I wanted to do something

**[16:59] Kimari**
Something I'd never done. Something amazing!
**[17:03] Kimari**
But I never did anything,
**[17:06] Kimari**
and whenever I try,
I end up getting scared and quit.
**[17:09] Kimari**
So... I think it's really amazing
to work hard at something,

even when everyone discourages
you and makes fun of you!

Just let people say what they want.

Wanting to show them up
just fires me up even more.

Isn't there any way I can help you?
**[17:40] Kimari**
Just say the word!
**[17:42] Shirase**
Will you go with me, then?
**[17:54] Shirase**
People have said that to me in the past.
**[17:58] Shirase**
But they all go away before long.

They decide it's impossible,

Antarctic expeditions are
typically a state enterprise.

**[11:18] shira**
But then how would you have
time to go to Antarctica?

A reasonable question,

You're having trouble with funding, right?

Calm down.
**[09:20] Hinata**
If she's that set against it,

she must have a pretty serious
reason not to want to go.
**[09:26] Shirase**
I thought she just said
she didn't like the cold.
**[09:28] Hinata**
She said that pretty bluntly.

That means she probably has a
deeper reason not to want to go.

**[09:34] Shirase**
So, what's the reason?
**[09:36] Hinata**
Well, I don't know that yet.

Self-loathing.
**[09:58] Shirase**
I was just thinking,
you're probably right, Hinata.
**[10:03] Shirase**
At the end of the day, I've mainly
been prioritizing my own feelings.
**[10:07] Shirase**
I haven't been thinking about anyone else.
**[10:09] Hinata**
You're *just* realizing that?
**[10:11] Hinata**

As they say, it's a thin line between
self-assertion and selfishness.

Congratulations on

**[12:33] Yuzuki**
I've been a child actress
since I was four years old.
**[12:37] Yuzuki**
But because I was so busy, I hardly
had any time to play with friends.
**[12:43] Yuzuki**
Then it kept happening and happening.
**[12:49] Yuzuki**
I've never had a fight with friends.
**[12:53] Yuzuki**
My mom's the only one I fight with.
**[12:57] Yuzuki**
So once I got into high school,
**[12:59] Yuzuki**
I decided I had to make
friends, no matter what.
**[13:03] Yuzuki**
I'd go to clubs, get a part-time job,

But...
**[13:15] (Flashback) Yuzuki**
Thanks, you guys!
**[13:16] (Flashback) Girl**
Sure! Let's go hang out some time.
**[13:19] (Flashback) Yuzuki**
Really?
**[13:20] (Flashback) Girl**
Sure thing.
**[13:21] (Flashback) Girl**
Also, can we get a picture together?
**[13:23] (Flashback) Girl**
Yuzuki-chan's a celebrity,
so people want to see pictures.
**[13:26] (Flashback) Girl2**
Take one with me, too!
**[13:28] (Flashback) Yuzuki**
Sorry...
**[13:32] (Flashback) Girl**
Oh. Bye, then.
**[13:35] Yuzuki**
First impressions are important, aren't they?
**[13:40] Yuzuki**
I need to start working hard
to form them right now.
**[13:42] Yuzuki**
Proper relationships and groups...
You're basically establishing who you are.
**[13:49] Yuzuki**
Wh-What?
**[13:50] Kimari**
I just wanted to hug you suddenly!
**[13:53] Yuzuki**
I can't breathe!
**[13:56] Kimari**
I totally understand you!
**[13:57] Yuzuki**
I always hate new school terms and stuff, too!
**[14:00] Kimari**
You don't understand!
**[14:02] Yuzuki**
Yes, I do!
**[14:02] Kimari**
No, you don't!
**[14:04] Kimari**
Because you're all best friends, aren't you?
**[14:07] Hinata**
Best friends?
**[14:12] Yuzuki**
Aren't you?
**[14:14] Hinata**
We haven't even known each other a month.
**[14:17] Shirase**
We've never even hung out together.
**[14:20] Kimari**
We're just all trying
to go to the same place.
**[14:24] Kimari**
For now, at least.
**[14:28] Kimari**
Right?
**[14:29] Kimari**
Yeah.
**[14:29] Kimari**
Yeah!
**[14:34] Hinata**
Sorry to keep you out so late.
**[14:36] Shirase**
I hope your mother understands.
**[14:40] Yuzuki**
Not at all. I feel a little better,
having gotten to talk about it.
**[14:44] Yuzuki**
Well, bye.
**[14:46] Hinata**
Bye-bye!
**[14:53] Hinata**
So... where does that actually leave us?
**[14:57] Kimari**
What do you mean?
**[14:58] Hinata**
Have you forgotten?
We came here to convince her!
**[15:02] Kimari**
Oh! That's right!
**[15:04] Kimari**
Huh? But if Yuzuki-chan refuses,
**[15:07] Kimari**
Shirase-chan can go in her place...
**[15:11] Kimari**
If we convince her, we can go together...
**[15:13] Kimari**
Huh?
**[15:14] Kimari**
Wait, but if Yuzuki-chan refuses,
Shirase-chan can go in her place...
**[15:18] Kimari**
I'm so confused!
**[15:20] Hinata**
It's not that hard!
**[15:21] Shirase**
If she refuses,
**[15:23] Shirase**
they'll get some other
entertainer to go in her place.
**[15:26] Kimari**
I see!
**[15:28] Shirase**
Convincing her was our only chance.
**[15:32] Shirase**
But...
**[15:34] Hinata**
Well, I think this is okay.
**[15:46] [Messenger] sign**

***SIGN*** Sorry... I don't know just yet...

**[16:35] Yuzuki**
Kimari-san!
**[16:36] Kimari**
Let's go to Antarctica!
**[16:39] Yuzuki**
What are you doing? They'll yell at you!
**[16:41] Hinata**
Come on, let's just go!
**[16:44] Shirase**
Come on, the wind is really strong!
**[16:45] Shirase**
Hurry up!
**[16:46] Yuzuki**
But I...
**[16:48] Kimari**
Hold out your hand!
**[17:42] Kimari**
What a strange dream.
***SIGN*** Today 07:03 Aina has left the group. 07:04 Yuri-chan has left the group.
**[18:31] Kimari**
Good morning!
**[18:34] Yuzuki**
You guys...
**[18:35] Hinata**
I told you it was too early!
She's still in her pajamas!
**[18:38] Kimari**
It was Shirase-chan who said it!
**[18:40] Shirase**
What was I supposed to do?
We're going all the way to Tokyo.
**[18:43] Yuzuki**
Tokyo?
**[18:45] Kimari**
Yeah! We heard you had a job in Tokyo,
**[18:48] Kimari**
so I figured we could go together!
**[18:51] Hinata**
Sorry to jump on you like this!
**[18:53] Hinata**
It's all because she didn't
ask for your contact info.
**[18:55] Kimari**
Me?!
**[18:56] Shirase**
Do you have time?
**[18:58] Yuzuki**
Yeah.
**[18:59] Kimari**
Really?! Then, then...
**[19:01] Kimari**
We can go to the Tokyo... Polar...
**[19:16] Hinata**
Wh-What's wrong?
**[19:28] Hinata**
Kimari!
**[19:29] Hinata**
Kimari!
**[19:31] Hinata**
What did I do?
**[19:32] Hinata**
It must have been you!
**[19:33] Hinata**
But you're the one who said
we should go together...
**[20:06] (Flashback) Hinata**
I'm saying I'll go if I can
go with the three of them.
**[20:11] (Flashback) Hinata**
And I won't go without them.
**[20:16] Kimari**
Okay, Yuzuki-chan! Let's go!
**[20:19] Yuzuki**
Okay!
**[20:25] Shirase**
P-Penguins!
**[20:28] Kimari**
Aren't they nice and fluffy looking?
**[20:30] Yuzuki**
Yeah...
**[20:33] Hinata**
Hey!
**[20:36] Kimari**
Wow, it's long!
**[20:38] Hinata**
Hey, we can go inside this!
**[20:40] Kimari**
Really?
**[20:44] Kimari**
It's pretty cramped in here, huh?
**[20:47] Shirase**
I believe they use newer models of
snowcats nowadays, of course...
**[20:52] Hinata**
Full speed ahead, and keep 'er steady!
**[20:54] Yuzuki**
I don't think it's a boat.
**[20:57] Hinata**
This bunk bed only has a top bunk!
**[20:59] Kimari**
It says they keep the rooms
over twenty degrees Celsius!
**[21:02] Kimari**
Nice to hear it!
**[21:03] Yuzuki**
Because it'll be negative
ten degrees outside!
**[21:05] Yuzuki**
I bet my nose would be running...
**[21:10] Yuzuki**
Come a little closer!
**[21:23] Kimari**
I bet the real one is a lot more beautiful!
**[21:26] Shirase**
Yes, I've heard it's very beautiful.
**[21:29] Shirase**
My mother said it brought her to tears.
**[21:32] Hinata**
Most people don't get to see
the aurora, though, do they?
**[21:36] Hinata**
I've heard that.
**[21:39] Kimari**
Then if we really do get to see it,
**[21:42] Kimari**
we might be the only high school students
in the world to see the aurora from Antarctica.
**[21:47] Yuzuki**
Really?
**[21:49] Yuzuki**
In that case...
**[21:57] Yuzuki**
I could just die right now!

It'd be a waste not to, being up
here in the mountains and all!
**[11:04] hina**
Still, this all looks pretty tough.
**[11:11] kana**
How did it go?
**[11:12] gin**
How did what go?
**[11:13] kana**
Seeing her again after so long.
**[11:16] gin**
I told you, didn't I?
**[11:17] gin**
I'm going to treat her like
any other member of the team.
**[11:20] kana**
Yeah, yeah...
**[11:26] gin**
Did you go against my wishes on purpose?
**[11:27] kana**
No, I didn't have any part of this.
**[11:32] kana**
That girl really got here
through her own efforts.
**[11:35] kana**
Though I must admit,
I had a feeling she would...
**[11:39] kana**
Since the first day she told
me she wanted to come along.
**[11:45] kana**
She's Takako's daughter, after all.
**[11:53] kima**
What's this?
**[11:54] yuzu**
A transceiver, I think.
**[11:56] yuzu**
This is a compass, and that's a GPS...
**[12:00] kima**
And then we've got flags.
**[12:02] kima**
Hinata-chan, do you get it?
**[12:04] hina**
Yeah, she taught us most
of it to us yesterday.
**[12:06] kima**
But why do we have to do this?
**[12:08] kima**
Antarctica's flat, isn't it?
**[12:10] kima**
We can get along fine without
marking a route, can't we?
**[12:13] shira**
Totally wrong.
**[12:14] shira**
The landscape's white as far as you can see,
**[12:16] shira**
so it's easy lose track of
your direction in a blizzard.
**[12:19] shira**
That's why you need to create
a route to walk along.
**[12:23] kima**
So we set up the flags to
serve as landmarks, huh?
**[12:26] kima**
But where do we put them?
**[12:28] hina**
Figuring that out is the
point of the training.
***SIGN*** Communication station
***SIGN*** Route Creation Start Point
**[12:31] hina**
This is our current location.
**[12:33] hina**
And this is our destination.
***SIGN*** Route Creation End Point
***SIGN*** Route Creation Course
**[12:36] kima**
So we just have to get there?
**[12:38] hina**
But we can't just go right there.
**[12:39] hina**
We have to go here, here,
and here on the way,
**[12:42] hina**
and set up flags at each point.
**[12:45] yuzu**
I see!
**[12:46] kima**
Okay, let's do it!
**[12:47] kima**
That way, right?
**[12:49] hina**
Wait, wait!
**[12:50] hina**
We can't just run off willy-nilly.
**[12:52] hina**
Do you even know where the points are?
**[12:55] kima**
There... ish?
**[12:58] hina**
"Ish"? Come on!
**[13:01] shira**
We'll need to keep precise
track of our location.
**[13:07] kima**
I'm getting the feeling
this is gonna be hard.
**[13:13] kima**
Forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty!
**[13:17] kima**
Right here!
**[13:19] hina**
Check the angle.
**[13:27] shira**
Which should I look with?
Left eye or right eye?
**[13:31] hina**
Your dominant eye, probably.
**[13:32] shira**
Which eye is that?
**[13:34] yuzu**
I think you go like this...
**[13:35] kima**
Are you done yet?!
**[13:38] shira**
168 degrees.
**[13:42] hina**
More to the right!
**[13:44] kima**
Right?
**[13:45] hina**
Right!
**[13:46] kima**
Right?
**[13:47] hina**
Correct!
**[13:52] shira**
There!
**[13:57] yuzu**
Um, the latitude is...
**[14:01] yuzu**
And the longitude is...
**[14:03] yuzu**
It seems further away than
the last one, doesn't it?
**[14:06] hina**
If the instruments are right,
we should be right here, I think.
**[14:10] kana**
That's where they are, huh?
They've gotten pretty off-track...
**[14:14] kana**
This reminds me of the first time
I took part in one of these.
**[14:18] gin**
What's the story on the other three?
**[14:20] kana**
Well, the one is the girl we were supposed
to bring along from the start, right?
**[14:25] kana**
They seem to have become
friends at some point, but...
**[14:28] kana**
Oh.
**[14:32] yuzu**
She said the other expedition members
would compete on time, but...
**[14:37] shira**
I think precision is more
important than speed.
**[14:41] hina**
Safety first, right?
**[14:44] shira**
Okay, here I go.
**[14:46] shira**
One, two...
**[14:49] shira**
398, 399, 400.
**[14:56] shira**
Okay, here!
**[14:59] kima**
Two steps left!
**[15:02] kima**
Yes, there!
**[15:05] hina**
That was fast.
**[15:06] hina**
I'm impressed you could tell, though.
**[15:08] hina**
Kimari must be good with the compass.
**[15:10] yuzu**
She does seem cut out for it!
**[15:12] kima**
Just call me a compass expert.
**[15:14] kima**
A compasser, for short!
**[15:19] all**
First comes rock! Rock-paper-scissors!
**[15:22] kima**
Okay, I'll take this one!
**[15:25] kima**
Feels like we're on a field trip!
**[15:27] kima**
Anyone bring any playing cards?
**[15:28] hina**
We're not here to play around!
**[15:30] shira**
Sleeping in a tent will
be good training, too.
**[15:33] kima**
But it's not even 8:00 yet!
**[15:35] kima**
Come on, the captain said they'd always
socialize at night during their training camps...
**[15:42] hina**
Less talk, more sleep!
**[15:59] kima**
Hey, let's talk!
**[16:01] hina**
Don't look at me.
**[16:02] kima**
Wanna tell scary stories?
**[16:03] yuzu**
I could just kill you right now.
**[16:05] kima**
Yuzuki-chan, do you not like scary stories?
**[16:08] yuzu**
Please shut talking now.
**[16:27] kima**
What does "shut talking now" mean?
**[16:29] yuzu**
You're my senpai, so I self-corrected!
**[16:32] yuzu**
You knew what I meant,
so please leave me alone!
**[16:35] kima**
Please shut talking now.
**[16:37] hina**
Knock it off, Kimari!
**[16:47] kima**
Shirase-chan, are you asleep?
**[16:50] kima**
I was wondering about something...
**[16:52] kima**
Do you know the captain?
**[16:57] shira**
How could you tell?
**[16:58] kima**
Just had a feeling.
**[17:10] shira**
She and my mother knew
each other in high school.
**[17:15] shira**
She went to Antarctica with my mother.
**[17:20] shira**
She came home.
**[17:22] shira**
My mother didn't.
**[17:25] shira**
That's all.
**[17:30] (Flashback) shira**
Because... my mother is waiting there.
**[17:50] kima**
What a big sky!
**[17:51] kima**
Where's the North Star?
**[17:53] yuzu**
Um, were supposed to trace something
from the Big Dipper, aren't we?
**[17:57] hina**
I thought it was Cassiopeia.
**[17:58] kima**
What's the South Star?
**[18:00] yuzu**
South Star? Is there one?
**[18:02] hina**
There is, but you can't see
it as clearly, I've heard.
**[18:06] kima**
Which is it?
**[18:07] hina**
You can't see it from here, duh.
**[18:10] hina**
"Never think the stars you see
are all the stars there are."
**[18:12] kima**
Another of your sayings, Hinata-chan?
**[18:14] hina**
Yeah, that one kinda sucked, huh?
**[18:16] kana**
* This is Syowa Station.*
* Aurora Team, do you read me? Over.*
**[18:20] kima**
We got it!
**[18:21] hina**
This is Aurora Team, Miyake.
**[18:23] hina**
We read you loud and clear. Over.
**[18:26] kana**
*This is your regular check-in.*
**[18:27] kana**
*Is everything all right there? Over.*
**[18:29] hina**
Four members of Aurora Team.
**[18:31] hina**
All personnel and equipment
accounted for. Over.
**[18:34] kana**
*Understood.*
**[18:35] kana**
* It gets cold around dawn, so*
* watch your body temperature.*
**[18:38] kana**
*This concludes your regular check-in.*
**[18:40] kana**
*Be safe.*
**[18:41] hina**
Be safe!
**[18:43] yuzu**
She really did contact us!
**[18:45] hina**
I almost forgot!

**[19:14] kima**
So cold...
**[19:37] kima**
Hey...
**[19:39] kima**
Is there something there?
**[19:57] kima**
What was Shirase-chan's mom like?
**[20:01] gin**
All I can say about her is
that she was very strange.
**[20:06] kima**
Was she like Shirase-chan?
**[20:08] gin**
I don't know. I don't know
her daughter very well.
**[20:13] gin**
But in stubbornness and conviction,
she's her spitting image.
**[20:17] gin**
She's trouble.
**[20:18] kima**
Isn't trouble just the best?
**[20:22] gin**
A personality like yours
will do well in Antarctica.
**[20:24] kima**
Really?
**[20:26] gin**
Why do you want to go to Antarctica?
**[20:29] gin**
Did she invite you?
**[20:30] kima**
Yeah...
**[20:32] kima**
But I'm the one who made the decision.
**[20:35] kima**
That I wanted to go with her.
**[20:37] kima**
That I didn't want my high school
years to end the way they were going.
**[20:40] kima**
That I wanted to go
somewhere that's not here.
**[20:44] gin**
I see.
**[20:44] kima**
But then I met Hinata-chan and Yuzuki-chan,
**[20:49] kima**
and I got to hear how the
members of the expedition felt,
**[20:51] kima**
and I learned stuff about you
and Shirase-chan, and now...
**[20:55] kima**
It's not just "somewhere" to me.
**[20:58] kima**
It's Antarctica!
**[21:04] kima**
I'm gonna go to Antarctica with all of you...
**[21:11] kima**
Everyone, wake up!
**[21:13] hina**
What is it?!
**[21:14] yuzu**
I'm not a morning person...
**[21:16] kima**
Just get up already!
You, too, Shirase-chan!
**[21:19] kima**
Hurry! Hurry!
**[21:34] kima**
I wanna go with all of you.
**[21:37] kima**
I wanna find the South Star with all of you.
**[21:40] kima**
I wanna see auroras, eat shaved ice,
**[21:42] kima**
and take pictures with penguins!
**[21:47] kima**
We've got to go!
**[21:54] shira**
Yeah!

This is the new Antarctic Icebreaker ship,
**[02:48] yuzu**
modified from the *Shirase II*,
**[02:50] yuzu**
the Shichishinya *Penguin Manju*!
**[02:52] yuzu**
Its basic performance hasn't changed,
**[02:54] yuzu**
but there have been some
internal modifications,
**[02:56] yuzu**
and as you can see, it's had
a big external makeover!
**[03:00] yuzu**
"Let's go inside!"
**[03:02] yuzu**
...is what I'd like to tell you!
**[03:05] yuzu**
But the truth is, we won't get to
board it until we reach Australia.
**[03:08] yuzu**
So, let's make the jump
to Australia right now!
**[03:12] both**
One, two...
**[03:13] both**
Jump!
**[03:15] hina**
Okay! That's a wrap!
**[03:18] hina**
What a total pro!
**[03:19] kima**
You're amazing!
**[03:21] yuzu**
You don't have to make fun of me.
**[03:22] kima**
We're not! We're not!
**[03:23] kima**
We genuinely respect you.
**[03:26] hina**
By comparison, our next report's
not until we reach Australia,
**[03:30] hina**
but look at her freaking out already.
**[03:31] shira**
I-I'm here in Autsralia. Wait! I mean...
**[03:35] shira**
I have to jump first...
**[03:36] shira**
then land.
**[03:37] shira**
Wait, no!
**[03:38] shira**
Land, then jump?
**[03:39] shira**
Land?
**[03:40] shira**
Land means...
**[03:43] yuzu**
Shirase-san, calm down.
**[03:44] shira**
What am I gonna do?!
I can't land in Australia!
**[03:47] yuzu**
They can work it out in editing.
**[03:50] yuzu**
For now, just do your vocal warm-ups.
**[03:52] yuzu**
Have you been doing your warm-ups?
**[03:53] shira**
She sells seashells on the sea floor.
**[03:55] yuzu**
Not quite right, but close enough.
**[03:58] shira**
Why would a person sell seashells?
**[04:00] yuzu**
Please don't try to dissect it.
**[04:02] hina**
What happened to her?
**[04:04] hina**
She spoke just fine at morning assembly...
**[04:07] kima**
Because there's no one she
sees as an enemy here.
**[04:09] kima**
When someone she's hostile
to is around, it's like
**[04:11] kima**
the "screw you!" switch gets flipped "on."
**[04:15] hina**
Ah, I see.
**[04:16] shira**
You! You're talking about me, aren't you?
**[04:22] hina**
We're really getting on this thing, huh?
**[04:25] kima**
Yeah.
**[04:29] yuzu**
Have you finished packing?
**[04:30] hina**
Not yet. There's a lot to
think about, isn't there?
**[04:33] shira**
Is there?
**[04:34] shira**
Including our body weight,
we're allowed 100 kilograms all together.
**[04:38] shira**
It should be more than enough.
**[04:40] hina**
Yeah, but we're staying
for three months, right?
**[04:43] kima**
Yeah! That's over 90 changes of clothes!
**[04:45] hina**
Do laundry occasionally.
**[04:46] kima**
Oh, right!
**[04:48] shira**
Although it's a journey, once we arrive,
we'll just be living life like normal.
**[04:52] shira**
And there'll be lots of work to do,
so they say it'll pass quickly...
**[04:56] yuzu**
But when you start thinking and
packing things into the boxes,
**[04:59] yuzu**
it does end up being quite a lot...
**[05:01] kima**
Is it that much?
**[05:03] hina**
Hey, have you not even gotten started?
**[05:06] kima**
But it just needs to be less than
100 kilograms, including body weight, right?
**[05:10] kima**
For me, that's 50, 52, 53...
**[05:14] kima**
I can take upwards of
58 kilograms of luggage!
**[05:17] kima**
That's easy, no problem!
**[05:18] shira**
Underestimating your weight
is a serious crime.
**[05:20] hina**
Fifty-eight kilograms?
That means you weigh 42 kilograms?
**[05:24] kima**
Please leave my arm flab alone...
**[05:32] kima**
This might be harder than I thought...
**[05:39] mom**
Mari-chan, how many times do I have to
tell you to carry up your own laundry?
**[05:46] mom**

**[08:23] meg**
Is that the girl from your job?
**[08:25] kim**

**[08:26] kim**
But Yuzuki-chan did the

Good point...

Oh.
**[09:01] meg**
Sorry.

Bring me an iceberg, okay?
**[10:08] kima**
I'm not sure it'll fit...
**[10:09] girl**
I'll send you pictures of warm things.
**[10:11] kima**
Thanks.
**[10:13] girl**
Does your snot freeze in Antarctica?
**[10:14] boy**
I wanna have some shaved ice.
**[10:16] boy**
Is it true there's a UFO
buried in the ice there?
**[10:25] kima**
Feels like I'm changing
schools or something, huh?
**[10:32] kima**
Goodbye, pudding shakes!
**[10:34] kima**
I won't be seeing you for a while...
**[10:36] meg**
What kind of reception did you expect?
**[10:38] kima**
I just didn't think they'd
make such a big deal over it!
**[10:41] kima**
When Shirase-chan said she
was going to Antarctica,
**[10:44] kima**
everyone just made fun of her.
**[10:46] meg**
Because they didn't think
she'd make it, I guess.
**[10:49] meg**
Besides, some people still make fun of her.
**[10:52] kim**
Oh, that's right!
**[10:56] kim**
I won't be able to come here
for three months, either.
**[11:00] meg**
Feeling lonely?
**[11:01] kim**
No...
**[11:02] kim**
I just wasn't sure how I'd feel...
**[11:09] meg**
You know, maybe it's best
not to show off so much.
**[11:13] meg**
A lot of people think you're
getting full of yourself.
**[11:17] kima**
I'm not showing off anything.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
**[11:20] meg**
Well, that's true...
**[11:22] meg**
It's just, they're saying
some awful things about you.
**[11:25] kima**
Really?
**[11:26] meg**
Out of jealousy, I guess.
**[11:28] meg**
That you shoplifted from convenience
stores to raise money.
**[11:33] meg**
That you were messing around with
boys in Kabukicho and stuff.
**[11:36] kima**
Wait, what?
***SIGN*** Girls'

But I'm not!

You know...
**[11:44] kima**
What?
**[11:46] meg**
Are you sure you should just
leave with this unresolved?
**[11:49] meg**
Once you're back,
it's only going to get worse...
**[11:55] shira**
Kimari.
**[11:57] hina**
Would this be Megu-chan, by chance?
**[11:59] kima**
Yeah!
**[12:00] kima**
That's right, you guys haven't met yet...
**[12:04] hina**
I'm Miyake Hinata, Kimari's co-worker!
**[12:07] hina**
What's up?
**[12:07] meg**
Hello.
**[12:08] meg**
I'd better go.
**[12:09] kima**
Wait!
**[12:10] meg**
What?
**[12:12] kima**
That stuff you said before...
**[12:14] shira**
Who's saying that?!
**[12:16] meg**
I don't know, I just heard it...
**[12:19] shira**
I'll search out the culprit!
**[12:20] kima**
Shirase-chan...
**[12:21] hina**
Remember, we're heading out tomorrow.
**[12:23] shira**
I can't just sit back while someone
spreads those ridiculous rumors!
**[12:27] hina**
Starting a fight now won't help anybody.
**[12:30] hina**
You've ignored all the
nasty rumors so far, right?
**[12:33] hina**
Just let it go.
**[12:34] shira**
This isn't the same thing!
**[12:36] shira**
These are bald-faced lies!
**[12:37] shira**
To claim we've been messing
around with boys in Shinjuku...
**[12:39] hina**
We did go to Shinjuku, though.
**[12:41] shira**
But we weren't messing around!
**[12:42] hina**
Can you prove that, though?
**[12:46] shira**
Still, it's just wrong!
**[12:49] kima**
Megu-chan, what do you think?
**[12:51] meg**
Me?
**[12:52] hina**
Sometimes, people are just mean.
**[12:54] hina**
Don't fight mean with mean.
**[12:57] hina**
Hold your head high.
**[12:58] kima**
Is that a quote?
**[12:59] hina**
You bet!
**[13:00] hina**
Besides, you're not alone right now.
**[13:03] kima**
What do you mean?
**[13:04] hina**
I mean you have people to vent with!
**[13:07] all**
Cheers!

a drink on the way back from work.
**[13:20] shira**
I suppose it might.
**[13:22] hina**
Okay, let's have one more!
**[13:24] hina**
It's payday, so the old man'll cover it.
**[13:27] shira**
Still, it's extremely exasperating.
**[13:29] hina**
You sure hate to let things go, don't you?
**[13:31] shira**
Well, the people spreading the
rumors are the ones in the wrong.
**[13:35] shira**
Why should I yield to them?
**[13:37] hina**
I get it, I get it.
**[13:38] hina**
Calm down.
**[13:41] shira**
I just want to scream at the top of my lungs!
**[13:44] kima**
Scream, then!
**[13:45] hina**
Next to a temple? Not a great idea...
**[13:48] kima**
Then let's go to karaoke!
**[13:50] kima**
If we do it within the hour,
we're probably good.
**[13:52] shira**
I've never been to karaoke.
**[13:53] hina**
No way!
**[13:54] kima**
Then let's do it!
**[13:55] shira**
No, no way!
**[13:56] shira**
How can you all do something so embarrassing?
**[13:59] hina**
It's okay to get it all out.
**[14:01] hina**
It's our going-away party!
**[14:02] hina**
Right?
**[14:04] meg**
I suppose...

Yeah, tonight's been the best!
**[15:00] kima**
I never thought I'd get to do this
stuff the night before I left.
**[15:03] kima**
I mean, I haven't gotten
to hang out with you much
**[15:06] kima**
since I decided to go to Antarctica.
**[15:08] kima**
Though I guess that was a relief to you...
**[15:11] meg**
I wouldn't say that...
**[15:13] meg**
Well, maybe it was.
**[15:16] kima**
Right?
**[15:17] kima**
But it wasn't like that for me at all.
**[15:21] kima**
I've been thinking this whole time...
**[15:23] kima**
About how I want to go far away,
**[15:25] kima**
about how I hate being where I am,
**[15:26] kima**
about how I hate myself.
**[15:28] kima**
I never knew why I felt that way.
**[15:31] kima**
It was probably because of you, Megu-chan.
**[15:35] kima**
I'm always uncertain,
needing you to fuss over me.
**[15:40] kima**
Always clinging to you,
asking what I should do...
**[15:44] meg**
Are you?
**[15:45] kima**
Yeah, and I always hated that.
**[15:48] kima**
I think I wanted to change it.
**[15:50] kima**
So I wouldn't just be clinging to you;
I wouldn't be worthless.
**[15:54] kima**
I'd be someone you could
play video games with.
**[15:59] kima**
So I'm gonna do my best out there.
**[16:07] kima**
Okay, see you later.
**[16:10] kima**

Don't worry. I'll keep myself safe.
**[17:57] kima**

**[18:07] meg**
Sorry to bother you right before you set out.
**[18:09] kima**
What's up?
**[18:11] megu**
I came to break up.
**[18:14] megu**
I'm saying, we're not friends anymore.
**[18:21] kima**
What? What do you mean?
**[18:23] megu**
You still haven't realized it?
**[18:27] megu**
Where do you think the rumor about you and
Antarctica going to Shinjuku came from?
**[18:32] megu**
Did you tell anyone about it?
**[18:35] kim**
No...
**[18:36] meg**
The first time you met Antarctica,
**[18:38] meg**
how did those older girls
know she had a million yen?
**[18:42] meg**
How did your mother know you were going
to Antarctica before you told her?
**[18:47] kima**
How?
**[18:49] meg**
Because I told them, of course!
**[18:52] meg**
I thought you'd finally catch
on and get mad at me...
**[18:58] meg**
eventually...
**[19:00] kima**
Why?
**[19:00] meg**
But you and Antarctica and the others
are such morons you didn't catch on!
**[19:06] kim**
Why?!
**[19:06] meg**
I don't know!
**[19:10] meg**
I don't know why I got so
mad when you first told me
**[19:13] meg**
you were going to Antarctica!
**[19:17] meg**
You always consulted with me
before you did anything...
**[19:22] kima**
No way... Wait a minute...
**[19:25] meg**
I know I've put you through a lot.
**[19:27] meg**
I apologize.
**[19:28] meg**
I'm sorry.
**[19:31] meg**
Yesterday, when you were
talking, I finally realized.
**[19:35] meg**
You weren't the one hanging on, I was.
**[19:40] meg**
Having you rely on me, consult with
me... me getting exasperated with you,
**[19:44] meg**
pretending to mother you,
acting so smart around you...
**[19:50] meg**
Because if I didn't have that,
I didn't have anything.

It means the plane has stabilized

Yes!

I didn't realize this was your

I watched my mother fly

but I've never been on one myself.

**[03:30] kima**
Why? Why am I the only

**[03:33] yuzu**
Because you were asleep.

**[03:47] hina**
Wake her up.
**[03:48] yuzu**

We're taking the subway,

**[04:05] hina**
What do you mean, you forgot
to change your money?
**[04:08] yuzu**
And to change all your money...
**[04:11] yuzu**
we're leaving in two days, you know.
**[04:13] kima**
You need to tell me this stuff in advance!
**[04:18] shira**

just to get to the hotel...
**[04:47] both**

sleep next to you, Kimari.
**[05:12] yuzu**

just start out on the floor?
**[05:15] yuzu**

Why?

**[05:22] (Flashback) kima**
So cold...
**[05:24] (Flashback) kima**
So warm...
**[05:26] kima**
I don't remember at all.
**[05:27] yuzu**
That's why it's a problem!
**[05:30] hina**
Hey, let's put our valuables

**[05:35] hina**
Japanese yen, plane ticket, and...
**[05:39] hina**
Huh?
**[05:40] shira**
What's wrong?
**[05:41] hina**
N-Nothing!
**[05:43] yuzu**
We'll get ready in our rooms and
meet in the lobby in 30 minutes.
**[06:03] kima**
I've seen that! It's a pool, right?
**[06:06] yuzu**
Yes, it is!
**[06:08] yuzu**
What's that?
**[06:20] kima**
There it is!
**[06:27] kima**
It's so...
**[06:29] hina**
It's not as disappointing as I expected.
**[06:31] kima**
Yeah! I'd heard it was more disappointing!
**[06:35] yuzu**
Were you hoping for disappointment?
**[06:38] shira**
Line up.

We gotta pose! We gotta pose!

Then...

What, exactly, is this?
**[06:54] hina**
Is this really oolong tea?
**[06:56] yuzu**
That's what it says.
**[06:59] shira**
Miso ramen?
**[07:01] yuzu**
I told you, they won't have any.
**[07:03] shira**
But it's ramen!
**[07:05] yuzu**
Because of the miso.
**[07:09] kima**
It's so...
**[07:11] yuzu**
There must be some mistake...
**[07:23] hina**
Stuffed to bursting.

**[07:40] kima**
It's dessert!
**[07:41] kima**
Join me, Hinata-chan!
**[07:46] hina**
You want me to eat that?
**[07:48] kima**
Oh? Shirase-chan, then!
**[07:51] shira**
What?
**[07:58] kima**
Huh?
**[08:05] yuzu**
I warned you...
**[08:07] hina**
Hey, Yuzu?
**[08:08] yuzu**
Yes?
**[08:09] hina**
You took out your passport when
we went through customs, right?
**[08:13] yuzu**
Well... yes.
**[08:15] hina**
You still have yours, right?
**[08:17] yuzu**
Of course. It's right here.
**[08:21] hina**
Of course it is.
**[08:27] kima**
Wow, cool!
**[08:30] hina**
Where's the pool?
**[08:31] yuzu**
It's over there, but you can't
go in unless you're a guest.
**[08:35] shira**
What? Really?
**[08:38] yuzu**
It's just an ordinary pool.
**[08:41] yuzu**
Though it does have a nice view...
**[08:42] hina**
No way! You've been in it?
**[08:44] yuzu**
Once, for a shoot...
**[08:46] hina**
Hey, w-was it a sexy bikini pin-up?!
**[08:50] yuzu**
Are you making fun of me?
**[08:51] shira**
Was it?!
**[08:52] yuzu**
No!
**[09:00] shira**
It's a bit like the crossroads
of the sea, isn't it?
**[09:03] kima**
Is it?
**[09:05] kima**
Then people leave here to
go all over the world, huh?
**[09:10] shira**
Probably.
**[09:16] kima**
It's kind of amazing, isn't it?
**[09:19] shira**
What is?
**[09:20] kima**
In two days, we're leaving here.
**[09:24] kima**
But this view will remain the same, right?
**[09:27] shira**
Of course it will.
**[09:28] kima**
We'll go to Antarctica,
and come back to Japan,
**[09:32] kima**
but boats will still come here every day,
**[09:35] kima**
and the city will be full of people...
**[09:38] kima**
Going to school, working their jobs,
hanging out with their friends...
**[09:44] kima**
They'll all keep living their lives...
**[09:47] shira**
It's the same in Japan.
**[09:50] yuzu**
School's still being held.
**[09:53] yuzu**
They're probably having
dinner right about now.
**[09:57] kima**
In places we've never seen,
locations we've never been...
**[10:01] kima**
So many people are living
so many kinds of lives.
**[10:05] kima**
Every day, without stopping.
**[10:08] kima**
That's amazing!
**[10:10] shira**
Even though it's common sense.
**[10:12] yuzu**
But I know what you're getting at.
**[10:18] yuzu**
Hinata-san?
**[10:19] hina**
What?
**[10:21] yuzu**
You're hiding something, aren't you?
**[10:24] yuzu**
You're *hiding something*, aren't you?
**[10:44] yuzu**
You can't find it anywhere?
**[10:46] hina**
Well... I'm sure it'll turn up.
**[10:50] hina**
It's so important, after all.
**[10:52] shira**
But then it would have come up
after all this searching, right?
**[10:55] hina**
That's true...
**[10:57] yuzu**
Without a passport, not only
can you not leave the country,
**[11:00] yuzu**
you can't go back to Japan, either.
**[11:02] kima**
Really?
**[11:04] kima**
Then, if it doesn't turn up...
**[11:08] hina**
Oh! Long ago, I did live in Japan!
**[11:13] hina**
Oh, the good old days!
**[11:15] kima**
...is how it'll be.
**[11:16] hina**
Why would I still work in a
convenience store over here?
**[11:19] yuzu**
Our flight's in two days!
**[11:22] hina**
Don't worry, don't worry!
**[11:23] hina**
We'll work it out somehow. Somehow!
**[11:25] shira**
How?
**[11:27] hina**
Somehow!
**[11:28] hina**
I mean, there're lots of options...
**[11:31] shira**
*What* options?
**[11:32] hina**
Options... like...
**[11:36] hina**
Right back atcha!
**[11:39] hina**
Huh?
**[11:41] yuzu**
Anyway, let's look it up.
**[11:46] yuzu**
If you lose your passport,
**[11:48] yuzu**
you can get a new one printed at the embassy.
**[11:50] yuzu**
The shortest time is... half a day.
**[11:53] kima**
Then if we go tomorrow,
we'll make it in time!
**[11:55] yuzu**
But the embassy takes
Sundays and holidays off.
**[11:58] kima**
And tomorrow is...
**[12:00] shira**
Sunday.
**[12:03] kima**
What the heck?
**[12:05] kima**
We convenience store clerks
**[12:06] kima**
work 24 hours a day,
365 days a year, without rest!
**[12:10] kima**
The government is stupid!
**[12:12] yuzu**
We'll just have to wait for a
plane two or three days later.
**[12:16] yuzu**
We'll arrive later, but we'll
make it before the boat leaves.
**[12:20] kima**
Good idea!
**[12:21] yuzu**
Tomorrow, let's stop by the airport counter.
**[12:23] shira**
Are we going... to change our arrival date?
**[12:28] yuzu**
It may be the only option.
**[12:30] shira**
Will that be okay?
**[12:32] shira**
I mean... the members of the expedition
are awfully strict about rules.
**[12:37] shira**
They might say "maybe you shouldn't come."
**[12:39] kima**
It'll be okay.
**[12:41] kima**
Extenuating circumstances and all that...
**[12:42] yuzu**
Yes!
**[12:44] shira**
But...
**[12:45] kima**
Why don't we email Kanae-san about it?
**[12:48] shira**
You mean, to tell her we'll be late?
**[12:50] kima**
It seems like the best thing...
**[12:54] hina**
Hey... look, we depart in the
morning in two days, right?
**[12:58] hina**
So we have a whole day to go.
**[13:00] hina**
Let's talk again tomorrow.
**[13:01] hina**
After all, it might still turn up.
**[13:04] kima**
That's right!
**[13:06] kima**
Please, turn up!
**[13:31] kima**
Merlion...
**[13:32] yuzu**
I will murder you.
**[13:38] hina**
Either way, you three should
head for Australia in two days.
**[13:43] hina**
I think I can work this out on my own.
**[13:46] hina**
So if I make it in time, I'll come after you.
**[13:48] shira**
And if you don't make it in time?
**[13:50] hina**
I just go back to Japan, right?
**[13:53] hina**
I can pay my own fare.
**[13:57] hina**
I'll tell Kimari and the others myself.
**[14:02] shira**
I'm sorry.
**[14:03] shira**
It's because I didn't want
to change flights, right?
**[14:08] shira**
I'm well aware...
**[14:10] shira**
that when things don't go the way
I plan, I tend to get very annoyed.
**[14:14] hina**
Hey, you don't have to apologize, Shirase.
**[14:17] hina**
I'm the one who lost my passport.
**[14:19] hina**
I'm the one who should apologize.
**[14:21] hina**
Sorry.
**[14:23] shira**
That's not what this is!
**[14:24] hina**
Sure it is.
**[14:32] hina**
I don't want to be a drag on you guys.
**[14:36] hina**
What if you're right, and you don't get
to go to Antarctica because of this?
**[14:40] hina**
You'd never recover.
**[14:41] shira**
But...
**[14:43] hina**
I never said I wasn't going.
**[14:45] hina**
You three go first. I'll catch up.
**[14:48] hina**
Okay?
**[14:50] hina**
Now it's settled!
**[14:56] shira**
Let's all go together!
**[14:57] shira**
I just have to email Kanae-san
and explain the situation...
**[15:01] hina**
I would like to take a shower!
**[15:06] hina**
Do you mind?
**[15:27] hina**
I'm sorry.
**[15:29] hina**
Shirase, I know you were
trying to be considerate.
**[15:33] hina**
I just really hate that kind of thing.
**[15:37] hina**
I know that's how relationships work, but...
**[15:41] hina**
when people try to be considerate of me...
**[15:44] hina**
it's disconcerting, I guess...
**[15:46] hina**
Like I can't tell how they
really feel anymore...
**[15:50] hina**
That's why I couldn't handle high school,
**[15:53] hina**
and wanted to be alone as much as possible.
**[15:58] hina**
At the end of the day,
when I'm with someone else,
**[16:01] hina**
things usually end up like this.
**[16:04] hina**
So, no need to worry.
**[16:06] hina**
The problem's all on me...
**[16:10] shira**
That's not true.
**[16:11] shira**
I have problems, too.
**[16:13] shira**
Ever since I came to high school, I've had
this "keep away" aura running full blast.
**[16:16] shira**
I've never been good around people—
**[16:18] hina**
This is what I'm talking about.
**[16:20] hina**
I told you, I don't like people
being considerate of me.
**[16:24] shira**
I'm not.
**[16:25] hina**
Sure, you are.
**[16:27] hina**
Shirase, you want to go to Antarctica
more than anyone, right?
**[16:31] shira**
Yeah...
**[16:32] hina**
You've wanted to go forever, right?
**[16:36] shira**
So what?
**[16:38] hina**
It's okay to make that your priority!
**[16:41] hina**
That's what would make me feel best.
**[16:47] hina**
Okay?
**[16:50] shira**
Good night.
**[17:01] hina**
My alarm clock!
**[17:15] kima**
She's here!
**[17:17] kima**
Hinata-chan, over here!
**[17:22] hina**
Why did you leave without me?
**[17:25] kima**
I thought you were sleeping in
because you were under the weather!
**[17:29] kima**
Yuzuki-chan's asking if we can
change our tickets right now!
**[17:37] hina**
Oh, you don't have to worry about that now.
**[17:40] hina**
We decided that you three
would go without me.
**[17:43] kima**
We did?
**[17:44] shira**
That never happened.
**[17:46] hina**
Yes, it did! Later on.
**[17:48] shira**
Don't make things up.
**[17:50] shira**
Why are you so stubborn?
**[17:52] hina**
You're the one being stubborn!
**[17:57] yuzu**
We can't do it.
**[17:59] yuzu**
There's not another opening for
these tickets for another month.
**[18:03] kima**
Really?
**[18:05] yuzu**
It's because we bought the cheapest tickets.
**[18:07] hina**
See? It can't be done.
**[18:10] hina**
So you three should go tomorrow.
**[18:12] hina**
I'll get my passport reprinted myself, and—
**[18:16] kima**
Shirase-chan?
**[18:18] shira**
Change! Late two days! Air!
**[18:21] woman**
No.
**[18:27] yuzu**
Shirase-san!
**[18:28] kima**
The mwillion yen...
**[18:30] shira**
Please change! Four person!
**[18:32] hina**
Wait! Why are you being so stubborn?
**[18:35] shira**
Shut up!
**[18:36] shira**
What's wrong with being stubborn?
**[18:37] shira**
That's how I've always lived my life!
**[18:39] shira**
I'm stubborn, people make fun of me,
and I've had awful experiences.
**[18:42] shira**
But I remain stubborn...
**[18:44] shira**
because I'm right!
**[18:46] shira**
If you don't want me to be
considerate, I'll say it outright.
**[18:48] shira**
I don't want to be the kind of idiot
who doesn't worry about something
**[18:50] shira**
just because you say "don't worry about it!"
**[18:52] shira**
I don't want the kind of shallow
relationship where I go without you
**[18:54] shira**
because you say "just go without me!"
**[18:56] shira**
I don't want to be the kind of
coward who gives up without trying,
**[18:58] shira**
even though we said we'd all go together!
**[19:01] shira**
We're going, the four of us!
All four of us! That's my priority!
**[19:08] hina**
What the heck...
**[19:18] hina**
What the heck?
**[19:22] yuzu**
What happened?
**[19:24] kima**
Dunno...
**[19:27] kima**
But it seems like a good thing.
**[19:32] kima**
Is this... business class?
**[19:34] hina**
You didn't have to go that far!
**[19:37] shira**
There weren't any other openings.
I didn't have a choice.
**[19:40] shira**
Now I don't want you losing
them, so hand them over.
**[19:43] hima**
That's one million yen!
**[19:47] hima**
Why are you acting so smug?
**[19:49] shira**
I'm not acting smug.
**[19:52] shira**
Well... maybe I am.
**[19:57] hina**
What the heck?
**[19:59] shira**
You hate it when people act
considerate of you, right?
**[20:01] shira**
So let's pretend I'm not.
**[20:03] hina**
Oh, come on...
**[20:04] shira**
Anyway, we're all going together now.
**[20:07] shira**
So tomorrow, we'll go to the embassy and...
**[20:16] shira**
Huh?
**[20:25] shira**
No way...
**[20:31] (Flashback) hina**
My shoelace came untied.
**[20:33] (Flashback) hina**
Hold this a minute.
**[20:35] (Flashback) shira**
It's dangerous to just carry it around.
**[20:39] kima**
Hainanese chicken rice!
Hainanese chicken rice!
**[20:41] kima**
Shirase-chan, I brought Hainanese
chicken rice and kaya toast!
**[20:48] shira**
R-Really?
**[20:49] hian**
Something wrong?
**[20:51] shi**
N-Nothing!
**[20:52] shi**
Oh! Oh! Looks delicious!
**[20:56] yuzu**
Shirase-san.
**[20:58] yuzu**
You're hiding something, aren't you?
**[21:02] yuzu**
You're *hiding something*, aren't you?
**[21:08] yuzu**
Now, let's get eating!
**[21:11] yuzu**
Shirase-chan and Hinata-chan's durian show!
**[21:15] hina**
For serious?
**[21:16] shira**
W-We really have to do it?
**[21:19] yuzu**
Be glad that's all we're making you do.
**[21:22] kima**
Yeah! Don't you realize how worried we were?
**[21:25] shira**
But we were able to cancel the tickets...
**[21:29] hina**
And we still get to fly out the same day.
**[21:32] hina**
It's neatly divided into four, but...
**[21:37] shira**
Why don't we play
rock-paper-scissors to decide...
**[21:45] both**
Let's eat!
**[21:50] hina**
Who the hell called this the king of fruits?!
**[21:53] shira**
But I might like it once I get used to it...
**[21:55] kima**
Are you serious?!

Now that Syowa Station has been

I believe there will be more

Do you intend to continue
doing research like this?
**[00:17] taka**
Of course.
**[00:19] taka**
Even having become civilians,
**[00:21] taka**
we'd like to keep sending expeditions
and doing observation...
**[00:28] taka**
We want everyone to learn about
the wonders of Antarctica.

I told you I didn't want this stupid thing!

Stupid thing?! I wrote you a script
because you said you wanted one!
**[03:17] kima**
Even so...
**[03:19] kima**
it sure is big.
**[03:21] yuka**
It seems to go without saying,

**[03:49] kana**
I'll be there in a minute. Just wait.
**[03:52] hina**
A four-person room, huh?
**[03:54] kana**
Sounds fun, right?
**[03:56] yuzu**
There will be fights here.
**[03:57] mari**
Why?
**[03:58] hina**
Let's try to be optimistic.
**[04:00] hina**
But it does seem likely.
**[04:01] mari**
Seriously, why?
**[04:03] kana**
You have desks and lockers,
so figure out who'll go where.
**[04:07] kana**
And those are the belongings
you had sent from Tokyo.
**[04:11] kana**
Don't open them all.
**[04:13] kana**
We'll be carrying them to

**[04:15] mari**
I see!
**[04:16] shira**
Huh?
**[04:18] kana**
They're locked.

Oh, there's also a rule:
Don't step on the silver part here.
**[04:36] kana**
Just to warn you,
**[04:36] kana**
we're going to treat you like
adults from now on, okay?
**[04:39] kana**
Figure things out for yourselves!
**[04:44] hina**
You know, if they see you like
that, they're gonna kick you off.
**[04:49] yuzu**
It's going to sway a lot when
the boat starts moving, I bet.
**[04:52] yuzu**
Maybe we should do the boat
report now, while we still can.
**[04:55] mari**
Yeah!
**[04:57] hina**
Which way did we come from again?
**[05:02] hina**
There was a map in the brochure, right?
**[05:05] mari**
Yeah...
**[05:07] mari**
And so we open this, and...
**[05:12] mari**
We're outside!

Let's go over there!
**[05:28] yuzu**
I would like to die.
**[05:30] yuzu**
Let's go this way. This way.
**[05:35] yuzu**
It's the snow cat!
**[05:36] yuzu**
Yeah! So they store it in there, huh?
**[05:40] hina**
Okay, we definitely gotta cover this!
**[05:43] hina**
Shirase!
**[05:45] shira**
Is there a script?
**[05:46] hina**
Ad-libbing is a reporter's responsibility.
**[05:49] hina**
Filming now!
**[05:50] shira**
Wait!
**[05:51] man**
It's so old. Is it really going to move?
**[05:54] man**
They said it would be fine...
**[05:58] man**
I have a feeling we don't have
enough people down below, either.
***SIGN*** Do your best!!
***SIGN*** Civilian Antarctic Expedition Members!!
**[06:01] man**
Maybe we should go help them later.
**[06:03] man**
Yeah.
**[06:04] man**
No rest for the wicked...
**[06:10] shira**
Um...
**[06:11] shira**
W-We're on the expedition ship.
**[06:14] shira**
And... there's a snow cat over there!
**[06:19] yuzu**
This is the ship's bridge.
**[06:20] yuzu**
We haven't left yet, so they
let us stop by to visit!
**[06:24] yuzu**
This is the ship's captain, Mukai-san!
**[06:27] yuzu**
And the expedition's commander, Todo-san!
***SIGN*** Worthless
**[06:31] yuzu**
This is the first civilian
expedition in three years.
**[06:34] yuzu**
Could you tell us what
your goal is this time?
**[06:38] todo**
We have several.
**[06:40] todo**
Syowa Station has been unmanned
since the winter team pulled out,
**[06:45] todo**
so restoring it to normal functionality
is our primary motivation.
**[06:46] ---**
Ow.
**[06:51] yuzu**
Thank you very much!
**[06:53] yuzu**
We'll be visiting that same
Syowa Station very soon!
**[06:58] yuzu**
See you then!
**[07:00] hina**
Why can't you do what she does?
**[07:01] yuzu**
Thank you very much!
**[07:02] shira**
There's a reason she's a pro!
**[07:04] todo**
Well? Do you like the ship?
**[07:05] hina**
Oh, yes! It's so big!
**[07:08] gin**
Oh?
**[07:09] muka**
I gotta say...
**[07:10] muka**
I think this ship might be
a little too big this time.
**[07:15] todo**
Captain.
**[07:17] todo**
Have you been to your room yet?
**[07:19] todo**
Y-Yes.
**[07:20] todo**
Take care of it.
**[07:23] todo**
That's the same room Takako used.
**[07:29] mari**
Find anything?
**[07:30] shira**
No. Not even a doodle.
**[07:32] yuzu**
Nothing in here, either...
**[07:35] hina**
I mean, even though it's the same room,
**[07:37] hina**
they might have changed all the equipment...
**[07:40] shira**
True...
**[07:41] yumi**
Hey!
**[07:43] yumi**
Yumiko-san!
**[07:44] yumi**
I know you just got here, but do
you have a little time to help out?
**[07:49] yumi**
We're so short-handed...
***SIGN*** When you're out, turn your card to red
**[07:55] sign**
Then there's eggs, milk, yogurt...
**[07:58] mari**
What about pudding?
**[07:59] yuzu**
No.
**[08:01] hina**
But eggs and milk... are those
provisions for the boat trip?
**[08:05] yuzu**
I don't know, but...
**[08:07] shira**
What's wrong?
**[08:08] yuzu**
Nothing.
**[08:09] yuzu**
I just find it a little weird
they're going shopping now...
**[08:12] hina**
Seriously.
**[08:13] hina**
I had this image of them dropping
**[08:15] hina**
this many-ton crate of
provisions onto the ship...
**[08:21] man**
Are you with an expedition?
**[08:23] man**
Yes!
**[08:24] man**
You're so young.
**[08:25] man**
To think even girls like you are
allowed to head out these days...
**[08:28] hina**
All this?
**[08:29] man**
This isn't that much, actually.
**[08:32] man**
The new ship that came by last
week had a whole container full.
**[08:41] mari**
So heavy!
**[08:44] mari**
Learn anything?
**[08:45] yuzu**
There are quite a few...
**[08:48] yuzu**
"Not enough funds."
**[08:49] yuzu**
"Not enough people."
**[08:50] yuzu**
"The plan itself is unworkable."
**[08:53] yuzu**
"There's a new station and
expedition ship anyway,
**[08:56] yuzu**
so doubling up is meaningless."
**[08:57] hina**
Sounds about right...
**[08:58] yuzu**
I'm turning it off. I don't have
much room on this disposable SIM.
**[09:02] mari**
Shirase-chan, do you know anything about it?
**[09:04] shira**
I never even thought about that
when we were coming here...
**[09:07] hina**
Yeah, guess you wouldn't...
**[09:09] yuzu**
Still...
**[09:10] yuzu**
I feel like things are a
bit strange on board, too.
**[09:14] yuzu**
There don't appear to be enough people,
**[09:16] yuzu**
and there seem to be a
lot of problems, too...
**[09:20] woman**
Welcome back!
**[09:21] woman**
How did your first errand go?
**[09:23] mari**
Good! This is enough, right?
**[09:27] woman**
Great job, great job.
**[09:28] woman**
Well, I'm sure the locals are
used to this song and dance.
**[09:32] yuzu**
They did seem to be...
**[09:35] woman**
What's the matter?
**[09:41] hina**
Um... could we ask an awkward question?
**[09:45] kana**
Can we really get to Antarctica?
**[09:47] yuzu**
Yes.
**[09:49] kana**
Of course we will!
**[09:51] kana**
After all, Antarctica's not going anywhe—
**[09:53] hina**
Please, spare us.
**[10:00] kana**
Well, I don't know where you heard about it,
**[10:03] kana**
but I understand the nerves.
**[10:05] kana**
We have so few people and supplies...
**[10:08] kana**
Since we're civilians,
we've had to make lots of cuts.
**[10:11] yuzu**
So it's true...
**[10:12] kana**
But...
**[10:14] kana**
as I said before,
there's no way we're not going.
**[10:18] kana**
We've made all the necessary preparations.
***SIGN*** First Civilian
Antarctic Expedition
**[10:20] kana**
And we've taken unprecedented
precautions with safety, too.
**[10:25] kana**
And most importantly,
**[10:28] kana**
the people on this ship are determined to go.
**[10:35] shira**
Determined...
**[10:37] kana**
Antarctica is an unforgiving place.
**[10:41] kana**
Blizzards blow at minus dozens of degrees.
**[10:45] kana**
The air is so dry that
your lips chap and bleed.
**[10:49] kana**
The sunlight is harsh, so if you forget
sunblock, you can really get burned.
**[10:54] kana**
There's no Internet,
and no places to have fun.
**[10:57] kana**
And yet, we're going.
**[10:59] kana**
Preparing little by little
over three years' time...
**[11:03] mari**
Why are you going?
**[11:05] kana**
Good question.
**[11:07] kana**
If I had to put it into words...
**[11:10] kana**
This time, it's to see the sky, I suppose.
**[11:15] mari**
The sky?
**[11:16] kana**
Yes...
**[11:18] kana**
The sky.
**[11:28] mari**
What do you think?
**[11:30] shira**
I don't know.
**[11:31] shira**
She sounded honest, but also
like she was hiding something.
**[11:35] yuzu**
She was absolutely hiding something!
**[11:37] hina**
You think so?
**[11:38] yuzu**
She said it herself! They're "determined"!
**[11:41] yuzu**
They must have a serious reason!
**[11:43] hina**
The sky, huh? I wonder what that meant!
**[11:46] kima**
No way to find out, I guess...
**[11:47] hina**
Yeah. No matter how we try to press it,
**[11:50] hina**
when an adult says something like that...
**[11:53] yuzu**
We must investigate!
**[11:56] hina**
Which way do we go?
**[11:59] hina**
Good thing we're all on the same page.
**[12:04] nobu**
Don't be like that!
**[12:05] nobu**
You're the one who told me to go, Yu-kun!
**[12:09] nobu**
Why? Please!
**[12:12] nobu**
Yes, I do want to go home!
**[12:13] nobu**
You know I want to see you, Yu-kun!
**[12:16] nobu**
I don't even know if this
expedition is gonna work out...
**[12:20] nobu**
I'm telling you, I love you!
**[12:22] nobu**
I've told you I love you so many times!
**[12:22] shi**
Nobue-san!
**[12:24] shi**
We're going out for a drink!
**[12:26] nobu**
Seriously, why does it have to be like that?
**[12:28] shi**
Okay...
**[12:29] nobu**
Is the fact that I love you not enough?
**[12:33] shi**
That's true, only two days
left for short sleeves...
**[12:36] hona**
Yeah!
**[12:38] hona**
I'll have a Kahlua!
**[12:40] shi**
I wonder if they have cocktails...
**[12:42] yume**
So, what did you want?
**[12:44] shi**
Well, I was thinking...
**[12:45] shi**
I think the project itself
might not be possible.
**[12:49] yume**
That's your personal opinion, right?
**[12:52] yume**
The actual details haven't
even been decided yet.
**[12:56] yume**
There's not really anything we can say yet.
**[12:58] hona**
That's our Yume-chan...
**[13:01] shi**
You're already sloshed...
**[13:03] yume**
Gonna carry her back?
**[13:04] shi**
Hell no!
**[13:05] shi**
All of us crammed in together,
I'd never hear the end of it!
**[13:09] shi**
Let's get back to the plan!
**[13:11] yume**
Concretely speaking,
**[13:12] yume**
what we're doing right now isn't
part of the official plan.
**[13:16] yume**
In other words, that's an
extremely distant goal.
**[13:19] shi**
But the commander and Kanae-san
are obsessed with it, right?
**[13:23] yume**
That's incorrect.
**[13:26] yume**
The other members are obsessed with it, too.
**[13:28] shi**
That makes it even more—
**[13:29] hona**
You sayin' you're 'gainst it, huh?
**[13:32] shi**
That's not it. I just...
**[13:34] hona**
A real man wouldn't grumble 'bout everythin'!
**[13:37] shi**
Shut up!
**[13:40] shi**
What's wrong?
**[13:41] hona**
High school girls in masks!
**[13:45] shi**
Where?
**[13:48] yuzu**
I told you! I told you!
**[13:50] hina**
You don't have to say it twice.
**[13:52] yuzu**
They have some amazing plan
they haven't told anyone about!
**[13:56] kima**
But what could it be?
**[13:58] hina**
You think...
**[14:04] hina**
Antarctic People!
**[14:08] kima**
Nice one!
**[14:09] hina**
Perfect timing!
**[14:10] yuzu**
Please, take this seriously!
**[14:12] yuzu**
What if they're planning something awful?
**[14:15] yuzu**
They could force us to go along with it...
**[14:19] hina**
But thinking won't get us anywhere.
**[14:21] yuzu**
Even so...
**[14:23] shira**
We'll have to talk to Kanae-san
one more time tomorrow...
**[14:26] kima**
Shirase-chan, that's my plushy.
**[14:32] kima**
What's that?
**[14:35] yuzu**
Glow-in-the-dark paint!
**[14:38] hina**
Shirase.
**[14:39] hina**
Wanna sleep here?
**[14:44] kima**
You think Shirase-chan's mother did that?
**[14:48] hina**
Maybe so.
**[14:52] kana**
*If I had to put it into words...*
**[14:54] kana**
*This time, it's to see the sky, I suppose.*
**[15:06] shira**
*A place more distant than the universe.*
**[15:09] shira**
*It's not a prison, a place trapped in ice.*
**[15:15] shira**
*It's a place, still unopened,*
**[15:18] shira**
*yet filled with possibilities,*
**[15:20] shira**
*Earth's greatest treasure chest.*
**[15:32] gin**
Want to look?
**[15:38] gin**
I think we all got a little
too worked up to do it.
**[15:43] (Flashback) gin**
As civilians?
**[15:44] (Flashback) kana**
Yeah! After the new ship is finished,
**[15:47] (Flashback) kana**
they'll be deployed to the new station,
**[15:49] (Flashback) kana**
and the current ship and Syowa Station
**[15:52] (Flashback) kana**
will be transferred to civilian ownership.
**[15:54] (Flashback) taka**
You mean...
**[15:55] (Flashback) kana**
We can become the first civilian team—
**[15:58] (Flashback) taka**
Let's do it!
**[15:58] (Flashback) both**
That was fast!
**[16:00] gin**
The ship and the station
were both hand-me-downs,
**[16:03] gin**
but we were so excited.
**[16:05] gin**
There are almost no civilian
stations anywhere in the world,
**[16:09] gin**
so we came up with all kinds of plans,
gathered all kinds of researchers...
**[16:14] gin**
We all wanted to make it a success.
**[16:19] gin**
Because we knew that this journey,
this road that we paved,
**[16:23] gin**
would continue on into the future.
**[16:26] gin**
That's why...
**[16:28] (Flashback) kana**
An astronomical observatory?
**[16:29] (Flashback) gin**
The plan's been out there for a while.
**[16:32] (Flashback) gin**
I'd heard they were building
one at the new station, too.
**[16:35] (Flashback) taka**
That's all the more reason!
**[16:37] (Flashback) taka**
We might not be able to rival
their scale and amenities,
**[16:40] (Flashback) taka**
but I think being able to do the
same research as the new station
**[16:43] (Flashback) taka**
is the most important thing we can
do as civilians in the future!
**[16:49] (Flashback) gin**
Yes...
**[16:50] (Flashback) kana**
As good publicity, then?
**[16:58] gin**
She was probably hoping to find
something worthwhile somewhere.
**[17:03] gin**
Even though she knew that feeling
could be very dangerous.
**[17:08] gin**
Somewhere out there...
**[17:10] (Flashback) gin**
Takako!
**[17:14] gin**
When we came home, we found a
harsh reality waiting for us.
**[17:19] gin**
Sponsors, afraid of the damage
to their image, withdrew one after another.
**[17:24] gin**
And the next expedition was
indefinitely postponed,
**[17:27] gin**
and the winter mission was withdrawn.
**[17:29] shira**
I know that.
**[17:31] gin**
But we hadn't changed at all.
**[17:35] gin**
Three years ago, in the place
we discovered with Takako...
**[17:38] gin**
with your mother, we would some
day look at the stars again.
**[17:43] gin**
It didn't matter if it
took ten years or twenty.
**[17:47] gin**
And it wasn't just us.
**[17:49] gin**
Most of the members who were with us
three years ago are here again now.
**[17:54] gin**
Our budget has been mostly stripped away,
and we'll get almost no compensation,
**[17:57] gin**
and there are some of us who won't have
anything waiting for us when we return.
**[18:02] gin**
And yet we all came here.
**[18:04] gin**
And yet we're all still here.
**[18:07] gin**
That's the kind of ship this is.
**[18:14] taka**
*Hey, Gin. Want to go to Antarctica?*
**[18:17] gin**
*Huh? Antarctica?*
**[18:20] gin**
*Why do you ask?*
**[18:21] taka**
*You know, I...*
**[18:23] taka**
*I just...*
**[18:25] taka**
*love leaving my footprints in fresh snow!*
**[18:36] kana**
Hey, it's been a while!
**[18:38] kana**
I'm Maekawa Kanae!
**[18:40] kana**
How is everyone doing?
**[18:43] kana**
Yes, good!
**[18:46] kana**
Now, it's been three years
since the last voyage.
**[18:49] kana**
I'm sure you've all been through a lot.
**[18:52] kana**
Some of you have lost hair,
some have gotten divorced,
**[18:55] kana**
some have lost your jobs...
**[18:57] yumi**
No one got married?
**[19:00] kana**
Well, let's all introduce
ourselves one by one!
**[19:03] kana**
But first...
**[19:05] kana**
what you've all been waiting for,
let's introduce our passengers!
**[19:08] kana**
Come on in!
**[19:15] hina**
Don't look at the floor.
**[19:16] shira**
But...
**[19:17] kana**
They're in high school!
**[19:19] kana**
They're not Goto or Yajima in drag!
**[19:21] kana**
They're real high school girls!
**[19:25] kana**
Now, a warning they're not legal.
**[19:27] kana**
I'll say it one more time. They're not legal.
**[19:29] kana**
Toshio, you hear me?
**[19:31] shi**
Why'd you single me out?!
**[19:37] kana**
All of our members who made that promise
three years ago have returned.
**[19:45] kana**
And with our new members, all of us here,
**[19:49] kana**
these members, are going to the station.
**[19:52] kana**
We're going to Antarctica!
**[20:09] kana**
All right! From right to left,
let's have some introductions.
**[20:13] kima**
I'm Tamaki Mari. Please call me Kimari!
**[20:17] kima**
Um, I wanted to go somewhere new,
**[20:20] kima**
to make a real change in my life...
**[20:23] kima**
And the next thing I knew,
I was heading for Antarctica.
**[20:26] kima**
I don't have any idea what I am doing,
but I look forward to working with you!
**[20:30] yuzu**
Shiraishi Yuzuki here.
**[20:32] yuzu**
I'm a year younger than the others here,
in my first year in high school.
**[20:35] yuzu**
I ended up on this boat for work.
**[20:39] yuzu**
The truth is, I really didn't want to come...
**[20:42] yuzu**
but I came here wanting to do
something with other people.
**[20:46] yuzu**
I look forward to working with you!
**[20:47] hina**
Miyake Hinata here!
**[20:49] hina**
I'm cheerful and energetic.
**[20:52] hina**
I came here because I
wanted to do something big
**[20:55] hina**
before I took my entrance exams.
**[20:57] hina**
I might be little, but I've got a big heart!
**[21:01] hina**
I look forward to working with you!
**[21:05] shira**
I'm... Kobuchizawa Shirase.
**[21:10] kima**
Shirase-chan...
**[21:27] shira**
I boarded this ship to do catchy,
witty, sensational reporting!
**[21:34] shira**
I want to open the treasure
chest of Antarctica
**[21:36] shira**
that my mother wrote about with my own hands!
**[21:39] shira**
Everyone, let's go to Antarctica together!

**[00:02] kana**
What do you think?
**[00:03] yuzu**
It's really warm!
**[00:04] hina**
Really feels like summer...
**[00:06] kana**
Make sure you get your fill of it!
**[00:08] kana**
You won't be touching any warm
surfaces for a while, after this.
**[00:13] kima**
Hey.
**[00:14] shira**
What?
**[00:16] kima**
Let's do this in Antarctica, too.
**[00:25] muka**
Well, shall we?
**[00:27] muka**
Ready to sail!
**[00:30] kana**
It's done, huh?
**[00:31] todo**
No.
**[00:33] todo**
We did it.
**[00:36] kima**
*The boat left the land.*
**[00:40] kima**
* I don't know what this*
* trip will mean in the end.*
**[00:45] kima**
* We'll be taking time off from*
* school, missing tests...*
**[00:48] kima**
*It might even affect our entrance exams.*
**[00:55] kima**
*But as of now,*
**[00:58] kima**
* we are no longer high school students*
* who can never take a step forward.*
**[01:02] kima**
* We are not 17-year-olds and 16-year-olds*
* who try but accomplish nothing.*
**[01:09] kima**
It's all ocean!
**[01:12] hina**
Of course it is.
**[01:14] kima**
The world really is big, isn't it?
**[01:19] kima**
*That's enough!*
**[01:21] kana**
Hey, guys, I'm taking a picture!
**[01:24] kana**
Look up here!
**[01:27] kana**
Okay, say cheese!

°Please explain what your job is.
One person is enough.
**[03:08] hina**
Ready to go?
**[03:10] shira**
I see! Thank you very much!
**[03:13] hina**
Yeah, yeah. Very cute.
**[03:16] yuzu**
We're not live, so you can do it again...
**[03:21] hina**
We rocked!
**[03:23] kima**
They said the waves were
gonna get pretty rough...
**[03:26] yuzu**
We really need to be efficient with our time.
**[03:28] yuzu**
They wanted us to help out later, right?
**[03:31] hina**
Yes, that's right.
**[03:34] hona**
Why didn't you wake me?
**[03:36] yume**
I did.
**[03:37] hona**
Then you need to wake me harder!
**[03:42] hina**
Excuse us!
**[03:43] hona**
Wait! Wait! Thirty minutes more!
**[03:46] hona**
Fifteen, at least!
**[03:47] hina**
Okay. We'll wait outside.
**[03:53] kima**
Did she not have eyebrows?
**[03:55] hina**
It's not uncommon among women.
**[03:57] yuzu**
I'd actually say it's typical.
**[03:59] kima**
Is it really?
**[04:00] shira**
Ow!
**[04:02] hona**
As we go further south,
**[04:03] hona**
we'll be stopping at places in
the ocean known as "stations"
**[04:07] hona**
to gather bacteria and seawater.
**[04:10] hona**
We have tons of equipment on
board to help us with that!
**[04:14] hona**
This is a water sampler and a CTD monitor.
**[04:18] shira**
Wow! This is a water sampler
and a CTD monitor, huh?
**[04:25] yume**
We'll be gathering rocks like these
**[04:28] yume**
and performing geological
surveys in Antarctica.
**[04:31] yume**
We'll investigate the stratum
several thousand meters down
**[04:31] yuzu**
The mic is too close!
**[04:33] yume**
to learn more about the
conditions on primordial Earth.
**[04:36] kima**
She has normal eyebrows, right?
**[04:38] hina**
Would you just listen to her?
**[04:40] kima**
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!
We're late! We're late!
**[04:42] yuzu**
Which way was it, again?
**[04:43] kima**
This way!
***SIGN*** High School Girls' room!!
You gotta KNOCK
**[04:48] kima**
Ow!
**[04:53] hina**
Sorry we're late!
**[04:55] yumi**
Yeah, yeah, we've been waiting!
**[04:57] kima**
Hey, dessert!
**[04:59] kima**
You make that here, too?
**[05:01] yumi**
Well, with whatever we have, anyway.
**[05:04] yumi**
Now, if you don't mind, start up on those.
**[05:06] kima**
Those?
**[05:11] kima**
This is why I wanted to bring a peeler!
**[05:14] kima**
Stupid Rin!
**[05:18] yuzu**
There are still so many more to go...
**[05:21] kima**
But this kind of thing is fun, don't you think?
**[05:23] hina**
You like grunt work, huh, Kimari?
**[05:38] yumi**
Seems like it takes the four of
you just to reach one horsepower.
**[05:42] hina**
Are we that slow?
**[05:43] yumi**
It's clear you don't help
out at home very often.
**[05:47] yumi**
Still, don't rush yourselves.
**[05:49] yumi**
We don't want you getting hurt.
**[05:51] kima**
She's fast!
**[05:52] yumi**
I am a pro, after all.
**[05:54] yuzu**
Are you a cook somewhere?
**[05:56] yumi**
I'm usually a lunch lady.
**[05:58] yumi**
I'm constantly thinking
up and preparing dishes
**[06:01] yumi**
for picky eaters like you guys.
**[06:03] yumi**
Anyway, work hard,
so you can get up on deck soon.
**[06:07] hina**
Get up on deck?
**[06:12] vo**
*From 1100 hours to 1700 hours, training is
permitted on-deck. Counterclockwise.*
**[06:18] yuzu**
What's that?
**[06:19] yumi**
It means we're allowed to train topside.
**[06:21] yumi**
In other words, we can go
outside and get some exercise.
**[06:24] hina**
Exercise?
**[06:25] yumi**
I'll take you up when you're done.
**[06:27] yumi**
It's sort of a duty for expedition members.
**[06:32] kima**
Wow, the ocean.
**[06:35] yuzu**
W-We're going to run here?
**[06:37] yumi**
Yep.
**[06:38] toshi**
Hey, wait up!
**[06:46] yumi**
If they announce clockwise,
you'd go this way.
**[06:50] yumi**
If they announce counterclockwise,
you go that way.
**[06:53] yumi**
The direction changes by day, so be careful.
**[06:55] all**
Okay!
**[06:57] yuzu**
About how long do we have to run?
**[06:59] yumi**
There's no particular rule.
**[07:01] yumi**
But as we've told you over and over,
stamina is crucial on an expedition.
**[07:05] yumi**
You might be working all day
in sub-zero conditions,
**[07:09] yumi**
so you need strong bodies
to meet the challenge.
**[07:12] shira**
Mom was always exercising, too...
**[07:15] yumi**
If you run out of stamina and pass out,
**[07:17] yumi**
not only will you not contribute anything,
**[07:19] yumi**
you'll be an active drag
on the people around you.
**[07:22] yumi**
You don't want to get to
Antarctica to be a drag, right?
**[07:24] yumi**
See you!
**[07:26] hina**
She's fast!
**[07:28] kima**
Okay! We'll do our best, too!
**[07:32] hina**
Hey!
**[07:34] yuzu**
Kimari-san doesn't realize, does she?
**[07:36] shira**
She'll catch on soon enough.
**[07:52] yuzu**
I thought so...
**[07:53] hina**
Hey, are you okay?
**[07:55] kima**
Why... is it... so big?
**[07:58] hina**
You've walked around here
countless times, haven't you?
**[08:02] kima**
But... everyone else... goes so fast...
**[08:09] yuzu**
Even she can run that fast...
**[08:12] hina**
She looks like a scientist,
**[08:15] hina**
but I guess she still has tons of stamina.
**[08:19] shira**
We're going.
**[08:21] kima**
W-Wait!
**[08:25] kima**
Eighteen!
**[08:29] kima**
By the time we get to Antarctica,
we'll be Amazons!
**[08:33] shira**
It won't be that easy...
**[08:34] hina**
Okay, last one!
**[08:41] yuzu**
It itches!
**[08:43] yuzu**
My nose!
**[08:44] hina**
Yuzu, can you not lift your arms?
**[08:50] yuzu**
If you do anything, I will just kill you...
***SIGN*** I will kill you ♥
**[08:55] yuzu**
You idiots! You idiots!
**[08:58] shira**
So this is a seawater bath...
**[08:59] kima**
It's pretty big, huh?
**[09:01] hina**
Definitely worth experiencing.
**[09:03] yuzu**
Would you get out already?
**[09:07] yuzu**
Seawater is more permeating than I expected.
**[09:10] shiri**
My hair is so crusty...
**[09:12] shiri**
I think that's why everyone cuts their hair.
**[09:14] shiri**
And the men shave their heads...
**[09:16] hina**
Okay, maybe we should cut it!
**[09:18] kima**
I'll cut it!
**[09:19] kima**
The boat has barber facilities, right?
**[09:22] yuzu**
Not even if the fate of
the world depended on it.
**[09:24] shira**
Ditto.
**[09:26] kima**
How come? I'm good!
**[09:29] kima**
I cut my own bangs all the time!
**[09:33] hina**
*At last, the mystery...*
**[09:35] shira**
*...is solved.*
**[09:36] shira**
*That's why...*
**[09:37] yuzu**
*...her hair looks like that.*
**[09:39] kima**
What? What?
**[09:42] vo**
*Provisions ready!*
**[09:44] shira**
It's time for dinner.

I'm all sticky!
**[09:51] yuzu**
Because you didn't wash off
properly in the shower.
**[09:53] kima**
But I didn't have time!
**[09:55] kima**
Hey, meat and potatoes!
**[09:57] kima**
Are these the ones we peeled?
**[10:00] hina**
Have we forgotten to do anything else?
**[10:03] shira**
Dinner, bath... laundry?
**[10:05] yuzu**
Don't we have to do that
at a certain time, too?
**[10:08] shira**
It's because you two were
playing around in the bath.
**[10:11] shira**
Take responsibility and go do it.
**[10:12] hina**
Wait, but what about our dinner?
**[10:15] kima**
But didn't we pick someone to do it
because it seemed easy to forget?
**[10:18] hian**
Oh, that's right!
**[10:20] yuzu**
Yes.
**[10:21] yuzu**
As I recall, we did rock-paper-scissors...

**[10:30] hina**
What do you mean, "that'll do it"?
**[10:31] hina**
You actually sat there
and ate your whole meal!
**[10:34] shira**
I still made it in time,
so what's the problem?
**[10:42] shira**
Don't.
**[10:43] kima**
She must be tired.
**[10:45] kima**
They kept us busy a lot
longer than I expected.
**[10:48] hina**
Yeah, true...
**[10:49] hina**
And it all starts again tomorrow.
**[10:51] hina**
You think we'll hold out?
**[10:53] shira**
We just have to do our best, right?
**[10:55] shira**
We don't have any other choice.
**[11:00] yuzu**
Feel sick...
**[11:05] yuzu**
I feel... sick.

Don't talk. If you talk...
**[11:24] hina**
How'd it go?
**[11:26] shira**
Don't ask.
**[11:30] kana**
You're really seasick, huh?
**[11:32] kima**
But we were totally fine before.
**[11:35] yuzu**
We took medicine for it...
**[11:37] kana**
Didn't that wear off?
**[11:39] yuzu**
It can wear off?
**[11:40] kana**
It's medicine. Of course
it'll wear off eventually.
**[11:43] hina**
I see.
**[11:45] hina**
I've never been on a boat this long.
I didn't even think...
**[11:50] shira**
Hinata, you idiot.
**[11:52] hina**
Why am I the idiot?
**[11:54] kana**
You need to take medicine
and get a good night's rest.
**[11:56] kana**
Then have a proper meal.
**[11:59] kana**
I know you probably don't have an appetite,
**[12:01] kana**
and you're afraid that if you
eat it'll just come back up.
**[12:04] kana**
But if you don't eat,
you'll just keep losing stamina.
**[12:07] kana**
If it gets bad enough, we might
have to give you an IV supplement.
**[12:11] hina**
I see.
**[12:12] kana**
If that happens, none of your
training will mean anything.
**[12:16] shira**
Okay.
**[12:18] vo**
*Provisions ready!*
**[12:26] shira**
Remember what Kanae-san said?
**[12:28] shira**
If we don't want to be a drag in Antarctica,
**[12:31] shira**
we have to eat, whether we like it or not!
**[12:45] shira**
It all came up.
**[12:47] kima**
Yuzuki-chan, did it all come up for you, too?
**[12:50] yuzu**
Don't say it.
**[12:53] hina**
Stop rocking!
**[12:54] hina**
Just stop for a little bit!
**[12:57] yuzu**
I think it is stopped.
**[12:59] both**
No way!
**[13:00] yuzu**
They said they're collecting seawater.
**[13:02] kima**
And still...
**[13:04] shira**
Yumiko-san said we'd get
used to it eventually.
**[13:07] shira**
But it's not happening.

**[13:23] hina**
What'll we do?
**[13:31] hina**
Yeah, there's no way I can run...
**[13:34] kima**
But it's a little better outside,
with the wind, at least...
**[13:38] yuzu**
I could probably manage it
if not for the rocking...
**[13:48] yuzu**
I wanted to see the whales...
**[13:51] kima**
Whales? Can you see them?
**[13:54] shira**
They said earlier that they were in sight.
**[14:00] kima**
Can you see them?
**[14:02] nobu**
Um... Tamaki-san, was it?
**[14:05] kima**
Yes.
**[14:06] nobu**
There's one right now.
**[14:15] nobu**
You see it?
**[14:19] yuzu**
She self-destructed just now.
**[14:21] hina**
Because she was focusing
on a single point, right?
**[14:23] shira**
Lay off. Just thinking about
it makes me want to puke.
**[14:26] hona**
There they are. Hey!
**[14:29] hona**
I looked in your room earlier,
**[14:32] hona**
and it looked like you weren't
ready at all. Are you okay?
**[14:37] hina**
Ready?
**[14:39] kima**
53 degrees?
**[14:40] hona**
Though we set that record a long time ago.
**[14:45] hona**
The last time I came here,
it felt to me like we rocked so far,
**[14:49] hona**
this desk was up there.
**[14:52] both**
No way!
**[14:54] hona**
When you go to Antarctica,
you must surpass these things...
**[14:59] hona**
The howling 40 degrees.
**[15:01] hona**
The maddening 50 degrees.
**[15:04] hona**
The screaming 60 degrees.
**[15:07] kima**
Wh-What do you mean?
**[15:10] shira**
It's about latitudes.
**[15:12] shira**
Earth is a water planet, remember?
**[15:15] shira**
It spins on its axis, and that
creates wind and water currents.
**[15:19] shira**
But Earth has continents,
**[15:22] shira**
so those block the currents and weaken them.
**[15:26] shira**
But around this area of
the southern hemisphere,
**[15:29] shira**
there's no land in the way,
**[15:31] shira**
so there's nothing to interrupt the current.
**[15:34] shira**
Mom said they were going to plow
their way right through it.
**[15:39] hina**
How long will it take?
**[15:41] hona**
I don't know all the
details, but pretty long.
**[15:45] hona**
Your insides will go woo,
like on a roller coaster!
**[15:52] kima**
A roller coaster? I like those, but...
**[15:56] hina**
But do you want to go on one now?
**[16:05] muka**
Here it comes...
**[16:07] todo**
Though I like this kind of thing...
the feeling, like I'm fighting.
**[16:14] mari**
I'm falling!
**[16:24] hina**
That was the biggest one yet, right?
**[16:27] shira**
I think that was about 15 degrees.
**[16:29] kima**
No way.
**[16:33] hina**
Here it comes, here it comes,
here it comes, here it comes!
**[16:42] shira**
I floated.
**[16:43] shira**
My body floated.
**[16:47] hina**
You'd better stay in bed.
**[16:49] kima**
But the blood is rushing to my head...
**[16:54] kima**
Ouch...
**[16:55] hina**
You okay?
**[16:57] kima**
I'm dizzy.
**[16:59] hina**
No getting to sleep tonight, huh?
**[17:03] shira**
Yeah...
**[17:13] yuzu**
You think we'll really make it to Antarctica?
**[17:16] hina**
Of course we will.
We're on a boat going there.
**[17:20] yuzu**
I know that...
**[17:22] yuzu**
but we might not be able to
do anything once we get there.
**[17:31] yuzu**
Everyone has so much stamina,
and they can handle the boat...
**[17:36] yuzu**
It's almost like we're completely
different organisms.
**[17:42] shira**
Then we have to become stronger, too!
**[17:45] yuzu**
You really think we can be like them?
**[17:49] shira**
We just have to do our best, right?
**[17:51] shira**
We don't have any other choice.
**[17:53] kima**
That's not true.
**[17:56] kima**
We always had a choice.
**[17:59] kima**
But we chose to be here.
**[18:02] yuzu**
Kimari-san?
**[18:04] kima**
We chose this ourselves!
**[18:14] hina**
Well said!
**[18:16] yuzu**
Where are you going?
**[18:20] hina**
The toilet.
**[18:24] shira**
I think I'm getting used to throwing up.
**[18:28] kima**
Same.
**[18:29] hina**
I'll eat anything! I'll puke anything!
**[18:37] shira**
That was an actual hill.
**[18:39] hina**
Yeah, when I get home I can tell them...
**[18:42] hina**
expedition ships are amazing.
**[18:44] kima**
Yeah, I'll tell them it was really fun!
**[18:47] yuzu**
You must be joking!
**[18:49] kima**
I'm not!
**[18:51] kima**
I'm sure that when this trip
is over, that's how we'll feel!
**[19:11] yuzu**
I'd like to go outside for a bit!
**[19:13] hina**
That sounds good!
**[19:15] kima**
I wanna see, too!
**[19:17] kima**
Let's go!
**[19:33] yuzu**
It's pitch black!
**[19:35] kima**
This is the ocean we're crossing, huh?
**[19:38] shira**
To a continent of ice protected
by storms and raging waves!
**[19:42] hina**
We really did choose to go there, didn't we?
**[19:50] kima**
What's that? Rain?
**[19:53] yuzu**
It's salty! It's the waves!
**[19:56] hina**
You're right!
**[19:58] shira**
It's salty!
**[20:13] yumi**
Feeling better?
**[20:14] kima**
Yeah, we're totally fine!
**[20:16] hina**
Because we saw the whales yesterday!
**[20:19] yumi**
Sounds like you've gotten used to the boat.
**[20:21] all**
Yes!
**[20:22] yumi**
But...
**[20:24] yumi**
Once we make landfall,
you're gonna get landsick.
**[20:28] hina**
For real?
**[20:29] vo**
*Left ten degrees, five miles!*
**[20:35] mari**
Where are they?
**[20:39] kima**
*No clouds.*

**[20:43] kima**
*The view is a single sheet of blue.*

Is that...
**[21:15] shira**
It is.
**[21:18] shira**
Those are...
**[21:33] kima**
*In that moment, we knew for sure.*
**[21:35] kima**
*It really lay ahead... Antarctica!*
**[21:44] kana**
We're back, aren't we?
**[21:47] todo**
Though it'll be a long time before
we're even opening the front door.

**[00:04] yuzu**
Ow!
**[00:05] hina**
It's because you're wearing all that!
**[00:07] yuzu**
What's the big deal?
**[00:09] yuzu**
It's over anyway.
**[00:10] kima**
No, it's not!
**[00:11] kima**
There's gonna be a jump-rope
contest on the return trip, too!
**[00:14] hina**
You saw the red meat that
the winning team got!
**[00:19] hina**
We can't take last place again!
**[00:21] hina**
We need to pull out of fish tier, at least!
**[00:23] kima**
It's not red meat!
**[00:34] shira**
What?
**[00:34] kima**
Shirase-chan, you're quite
adept at jumping rope.
**[00:37] shira**
Is that weird?
**[00:38] kima**
No, but you just didn't seem like the type.
**[00:41] shira**
Why not?
**[00:42] hina**
Defying expectations is kind
of Shirase-chan's thing.
**[00:45] hina**
Like, she's clumsier than she looks.
**[00:47] kima**
More short-tempered than she looks.
**[00:49] yuzu**
More selfish than she looks.
**[00:51] shira**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[00:58] hina**
Someone's birthday?
**[01:03] toshi**
Um...
**[01:11] toshi**
I'm in love!

You gotta KNOCK
**[02:51] yuzu**
You're in love?
**[02:52] kimari**
With the team captain?
**[02:53] yuzu**
Um...
**[02:55] toshi**
Zaizen Toshio.
**[02:56] yuzu**
*You're* in love with her?
**[02:58] toshi**
Something wrong with that?
**[02:59] yumi**
Of course there's something wrong with it.
**[03:01] yumi**
Everyone you tell gets so exasperated
they lose their capacity for words.
**[03:05] yumi**
See?
**[03:06] toshi**
You're wrong!
**[03:07] toshi**
They're just so stunned
by my sudden confession...
**[03:09] hina**
We're too exasperated to speak.
**[03:11] toshi**
Really?
**[03:12] yuzu**
By team captain, you mean Captain Todo Gin?
**[03:15] yuzu**
The beautiful, smart, determined...
**[03:17] hina**
Seems pretty out of your league.
**[03:19] toshi**
That's so rude!
**[03:20] toshi**
I'm allowed to be in love with someone!
**[03:22] toshi**
I've always loved strong women like her!
**[03:25] yuzu**
Why?
**[03:26] toshi**
I feel like... they could protect me.
**[03:30] yuzu**
You could just die.
**[03:31] toshi**
Did you just say something to me?
Something truly cruel?
**[03:34] yumi**
I'm really sorry.
**[03:35] yumi**
You said it before, didn't you?
**[03:38] yumi**
That you wouldn't bring romance onto the ship.
**[03:40] toshi**
That's why I've held back until now!
**[03:42] toshi**
But I can no longer stop myself!
**[03:44] yumi**
I would love to hit you.
**[03:46] toshi**
You basically are hitting me!
**[03:48] yuzu**
So, why did you come to us?
**[03:52] toshi**
Well, I heard that the captain had an
old friend among the high-schoolers...
**[03:57] toshi**
I was wondering if you had any information...
**[04:00] kima**
He means Shirase-chan!
**[04:01] yumi**
How long have you known her?
**[04:04] shira**
I first met her about ten years ago, but...
**[04:08] toshi**
Got any pictures from that time?!
**[04:09] yumi**
Okay, you need to maintain a
five-meter distance at all times.
**[04:12] toshi**
When was that decided?!
**[04:14] shira**
But she was just a friend of my mother's.
**[04:16] shira**
I never talked to her much.
**[04:19] toshi**
I see. Then what am I going to—
**[04:21] yumi**
Just give up on her, like I said!
**[04:23] yumi**
Toshio, you're such a—
**[04:25] hina**
That's it!
**[04:26] hina**
That's it!
**[04:27] hina**
Including the expedition members' love lives
in our reports will make them more exciting!
**[04:31] toshi**
Report?
**[04:32] yuzu**
I see! That's a great idea!
**[04:35] yuzu**
We've never even touched on it before!
**[04:37] shira**
Isn't that in poor taste?
**[04:37] hina**
It's fine.
**[04:38] hina**
Apparently our views have
been in the pits lately.
**[04:41] kima**
You think people will watch?
**[04:43] yuzu**
Of course they will!
**[04:44] yuzu**
Whatever they might claim,
everybody loves things like that!
**[04:47] toshi**
You mean, my love for the captain will...
**[04:50] toshi**
...be broadcast to the whole
world over the Internet?
**[04:52] hina**
No, Zaizen-san, you can go back to your room.
**[04:56] hina**
We'll take it from here.
**[04:59] yumi**
Sounds like you're in the way.

**[05:02] shira**
What kind of person she was?
**[05:03] hina**
Yes! The captain's personality,
her relationships with men...
**[05:07] shira**
I told you before. She was just someone
my mom knew. I didn't especially...
**[05:13] shira**
She never really talked much.
**[05:16] (Flashback) taka**
I'm gonna buy some cabbage. Look after her.
**[05:19] (Flashback) gin**
Wait! What should I...
**[05:24] (Flashback) shira**
Here, your change.
**[05:27] (Flashback) shira**
Here, your change.
**[05:31] (Flashback) gin**
You shouldn't give money
to people you don't know.
**[05:35] kima**
Serious?
**[05:37] yuzu**
Sounds more eccentric to me...
**[05:39] hina**
So, what about her love life?
**[05:42] shira**
How would I know about that?
**[05:44] shira**
I was still in kindergarten back then.
**[05:46] hina**
We'll just have to ask her ourselves, then.
**[05:49] shira**
Ourselves?
**[05:50] yuzu**
We'll set up an interview, and lead
the conversation in that direction.
**[05:54] kima**
Like a press conference with a celebrity!
**[05:57] kima**
"How's the love life?"
**[05:59] shira**
Why are you asking me?
**[06:02] shira**
Wait, who's supposed to go ask her?
**[06:05] shira**
No! No!
**[06:08] hina**
I feel like we've been through this before!
**[06:10] yuzu**
Have we really?
**[06:12] kima**
Why are you so desperate not to do it?
**[06:13] kima**
You talked to her on the deck
before we set out, remember?
**[06:16] shira**
You were watching?
**[06:17] hina**
Why would you ever think we weren't?
**[06:18] yuzu**
You seemed close enough to me!
**[06:21] shira**
No, we just happened to
run into each other, so...
**[06:23] kima**
You don't get along then?
**[06:24] shira**
I don't know if I'd say. It's more like...
**[06:28] gin**
There's a distance between us.
**[06:29] kana**
You talked to her on the
deck before, didn't you?
**[06:32] gin**
You saw that?
**[06:33] kana**
You seemed close enough to me...
**[06:35] gin**
No, we just happened to
run into each other, so...
**[06:39] gin**
We always had trouble
communicating with each other.
**[06:42] gin**
So whenever Takako would leave, we'd just...
**[06:47] (Flashback) both**
A penguin!
**[06:50] kana**
What on earth?
**[06:51] gin**
I don't have any children,
**[06:54] gin**
so I had no idea what to even say to her.
**[06:57] gin**
Takako was just determined to—
**[06:59] kana**
But Takako's gone now.
**[07:03] kana**
Are you sure you don't want to talk to her?
**[07:05] kana**
About Takako?
**[07:08] kana**
She's said that... that her
mother is waiting for her.
**[07:19] (Flashback) gin**
We canceled the search.
**[07:21] (Flashback) gin**
It was my call.
**[07:28] kana**
Sorry for the wait. You can come in.
**[07:32] kima**
Hello!
**[07:32] hina**
Sorry to impose...
**[07:35] kana**
No problem!
**[07:35] gin**
K-Kanae?
**[07:37] yuzu**
Pardon us!
**[07:40] kana**
Where's Shirase-chan?
**[07:42] hina**
She had something else to take care of.
**[07:45] kana**
I see...
**[07:49] hina**
Okay, camera's rolling.
**[07:52] gin**
Wait a minute. What are you going to ask me?
**[07:55] hina**
We were hoping to ask some questions
about your personal life!
**[07:59] kima**
Your favorite foods, what you do back home...
**[08:02] hina**
And... your love life!
**[08:05] yuzu**
What's your "type"?!
**[08:08] gin**
I will not answer questions unrelated
to the Antarctic expedition.
**[08:11] kana**
Gin-chan, the high school
girls have questions for you.
**[08:14] trio**
Please!
**[08:16] yuzu**
Our views have been dropping lately!
**[08:19] hina**
We need this!
**[08:21] kima**
Her ears are bright red!
**[08:23] gin**
They are not!
**[08:24] hina**
Captain, did you just get out of the bath?
**[08:26] kima**
What's your favorite bath salt?
**[08:27] yuzu**
What's your "type"?!
**[08:30] kima**
Maybe we should make the
eyes a little larger...
**[08:33] yuzu**
I think she's fine the way she is...
**[08:38] kima**
They're so big!
**[08:39] yuzu**
They did say we were in the Antarctic Circle.
**[08:44] kima**
The sun's not gonna go down, is it?
**[08:49] toshi**
Someone like a cloud?
**[08:51] yuzu**
What does that mean?
**[08:52] hina**
Dunno. But that's what she said.
**[08:55] toshi**
There are lots of kinds of clouds...
**[08:57] toshi**
Cirrus, stratus, cumulus...
**[09:01] yumi**
You're so boring.
**[09:02] toshi**
Why?
**[09:04] shira**
I think...
**[09:09] (Flashback) taka**
What big clouds!
**[09:11] (Flashback) shira**
Yeah...
**[09:13] (Flashback) gin**
Clouds are amazing, aren't they?
**[09:15] (Flashback) gin**
You can't grasp them, but when you
look up, they're always there.
**[09:22] toshi**
And... what does that mean?
**[09:24] shira**
I don't know.
**[09:26] gin**
I think I have an idea, though.
**[09:29] yumi**
Yeah...
**[09:38] toshi**
What? What is it?
**[09:44] muka**
How did the interview go?
**[09:48] gin**
Did Kanae...
**[09:50] muka**
No, I asked.
**[09:52] muka**
I was just curious to know
**[09:55] muka**
if you and Kobuchizawa-san's
daughter were very close.
**[10:00] gin**
She didn't show up.
**[10:03] gin**
She probably hasn't forgiven me.
**[10:10] muka**
That is a problem.
**[10:12] muka**
A captain needs to be able to talk
to their members and check in.
**[10:20] vo**
*From 0800 hours to 1200 hours,
training is permitted on-deck.*
**[10:29] yuzu**
Ouch!
**[10:31] kima**
That looked like it hurt!
**[10:32] hina**
That happens a lot when
you exercise in winter...
**[10:41] hina**
Shirase?
**[10:49] shira**
Penguins!
**[10:57] toshi**
You know what it means?
To be "like a cloud"...
**[11:01] dai**
I think so.
**[11:02] toshi**
No way! What does it mean?
**[11:05] toshi**
Tell me! What does it mean?
**[11:09] dai**
Can't put it... into words.
**[11:24] (Flashback) gin**
Why?
**[11:25] (Flashback) taka**
Why what?
**[11:26] (Flashback) gin**
Takako, you're trying to leave me
and her alone together, aren't you?
**[11:31] (Flashback) taka**
I sure am!
**[11:32] (Flashback) taka**
She needs your spirit, after all.
**[11:35] (Flashback) todo**
Hey!
**[11:39] (Flashback) todo**
She's your child!
**[11:42] (Flashback) shira**
Ow.
**[11:47] (Flashback) gin**
You can't do it?
**[11:54] (Flashback) shira**
No.
**[12:00] kana**
What are you doing?
**[12:05] shira**
What do you want?
**[12:07] gin**
I wanted to know how you feel... about me.
**[12:13] shira**
Do you want me to tell you that I hate you?
**[12:18] shira**
I don't hate you.
**[12:22] shira**
When my mother decided to
join the civilian expedition,
**[12:26] shira**
she told me over and over again...
**[12:28] shira**
that an Antarctic expedition
can be dangerous.
**[12:33] (Flashback) shira**
But you're still going, right?
**[12:37] (Flashback) taka**
Yes.
**[12:43] shira**
I was fully aware of the kind
of place Antarctica was.
**[12:50] gin**
But I was the team captain.
**[12:52] shira**
Did you make a mistake?
**[12:54] shira**
Was my mother left in Antarctica
because of poor judgment on your part?
**[13:00] gin**
I didn't have any other choice.
**[13:02] shira**
Then isn't that enough?
**[13:06] gin**
Fine.
**[13:08] gin**
Let me just ask one more question.
**[13:11] gin**
Is that how you really feel?
**[13:15] gin**
You really feel that way?
**[13:18] shira**
I don't know.
**[13:22] shira**
This is why I didn't want to talk about it!
**[13:26] shira**
I have no idea how I feel.
**[13:29] shira**
All I know... is that, even though
my mom wasn't coming home,
**[13:33] shira**
that day after day, my life
wasn't going to change...
**[13:40] shira**
I lived every one of those days
waiting for her to come home,
**[13:44] shira**
but nothing changed.
**[13:47] shira**
I told myself, day after day after day,
**[13:49] shira**
that it was like I was waiting
for her to come home.
**[13:56] shira**
If I want to change things,
I just have to go...
**[13:59] shira**
to where my mother is,
**[14:01] shira**
to the place further than the universe.
**[14:08] all**
What?
**[14:10] man**
All, slow astern.
**[14:12] man**
All, slow astern.
**[14:13] muka**
It finally happened.
**[14:15] shira**
What is it?
**[14:16] gin**
We hit some fast ice.
**[14:18] gin**
We're going to ram through it.
**[14:20] kima**
You're right!
**[14:22] kima**
We're going to slam down on the ice?
**[14:24] kana**
Yes. We'll back up once, and then...
**[14:27] man**
All, stop.
**[14:28] man**
All, slow ahead.
**[14:30] man**
All, stop.
**[14:31] man**
All, slow ahead.
**[14:32] gin**
We'll slam the ice...
**[14:36] gin**
with all we've got.
**[14:44] gin**
We use the weight of the
boat to shatter the ice.
**[14:51] kana**
That's why we call it an icebreaker.
**[14:54] yuzu**
What happens if the ice doesn't break?
**[14:56] kana**
We'll do it over and over again.
**[14:58] kana**
Again and again until it breaks.
**[15:01] kima**
Antarctica is tough, huh...
**[15:04] kana**
It's said that it's especially
difficult to reach land from here.
**[15:08] yuzu**
Is it?
**[15:10] kima**
Then why did we specifically come here?
**[15:12] kana**
It's the only place we can go.
**[15:16] (Flashback) kana**
Rules about Antarctic
exploration were formalized
**[15:19] (Flashback) kana**
after the second World War...
**[15:22] (Flashback) kana**
Ah, do you know about that?
**[15:24] (Flashback) shira**
Yes.
**[15:27] gin**
Japan had lost the war,
so many countries were opposed
**[15:30] gin**
to Japan sending expeditions to Antarctica.
**[15:34] kana**
Of course, Japan didn't have much
influence over the discussion.
**[15:38] kana**
In the end, we were allotted
East Ongul Island,
**[15:42] kana**
which was even said to be unreachable.
**[15:44] kima**
You mean, they bullied you?
**[15:46] kana**
I'm not sure if I'd go that far...
**[15:49] kana**
but maybe that is what it amounted to.
**[15:53] kana**
An "If you really want to go there,
go ahead and try" kind of thing.
**[15:58] yuzu**
That's very annoying.
**[15:59] kana**
But that just fired up everyone even more!
**[16:03] (Flashback) gin**
They raised large amounts of
money from all over the country,
**[16:06] (Flashback) gin**
and the shipwrights worked as hard as
they could to design and build a ship...
**[16:11] (Flashback) shira**
What then?
**[16:13] (Flashback) gin**
Time and time again,
**[16:15] (Flashback) gin**
they found themselves on the brink of giving
up, but they dug deep and pressed on.
**[16:19] (Flashback) gin**
Just like breaking through the ice.
**[16:22] kana**
Step by step.
**[16:25] shira**
Again and again...
**[16:35] muka**
Two-thirds ahead!
**[16:39] gin**
Go!
**[16:40] kima**
Go!
**[16:42] both**
Go!
**[16:50] (Flashback) taka**
Get 'em!
**[16:58] shira**
We did it...
**[17:00] gin**
Not yet. There's a long way
to go until we get there.
**[17:04] gin**
Year after year. Again and again...
**[17:08] (Flashback) taka**
I'm home!
**[17:19] gin**
Again and again.
**[17:24] (Flashback) gin**
Takako!
**[17:25] (Flashback) gin**
Takako!
**[17:28] (Flashback) man**
Hey!
**[17:29] (Flashback) gin**
Takako!
**[17:30] (Flashback) man**
Kobuchizawa!
**[17:41] taka**
*It's beautiful...*
**[17:45] (Flashback) gin**
Takako!
**[17:48] taka**
*It's so...*
**[17:51] taka**
*very beautiful.*
**[18:04] toshi**
Um...
**[18:21] toshi**
Just for the record, I was
really, really, really serious!
**[18:25] toshi**
I wanted to do something for her!
**[18:27] yumi**
I told you, I get it.
**[18:29] toshi**
But she didn't even notice me!
**[18:33] yumi**
An expedition member can't help
their captain. They won't let you.
**[18:37] yumi**
Why don't you respect that,
**[18:39] yumi**
and find someone more within your reach?
**[18:45] toshi**
Yumiko...
**[18:47] toshi**
Y-Y-Y-You...
**[18:52] yumi**
No! That's not what I meant!
**[18:54] yumi**
No!
**[19:21] kima**
How did it all fit in there so neatly before?
**[19:25] kima**
It's a mystery.
**[19:26] yuzu**
What will you do?
**[19:29] kana**
Have you finished cleaning up?
**[19:30] kima**
Yes! All finished!
**[19:32] yuzu**
How can you be so comfortable with lying?
**[19:34] kana**
Would you like to step outside for a minute?
**[19:37] shira**
Can we?
**[19:38] hina**
Yuzu! The camera!
**[19:39] yuzu**
Right!
**[19:44] kima**
Is this it?
**[19:50] kana**
It's just a brief stop.
**[19:51] kana**
Stay within five meters.
**[19:53] hina**
Okay, let's go!
**[20:02] kima**
Is this...
**[20:04] hina**
...Antarctica?
**[20:27] kima**
What should I do?
**[20:30] hina**
Shirase, you go first.
**[20:37] kima**
After you.
**[20:48] all**
One, two...

We're here!

We're here!

We made it!

Goal!

Shirase-chan...

It's nice, huh?
**[21:15] yuzu**
It's where your mother was.
**[21:19] shira**
In your face...
**[21:22] shira**
In your face, in your face, in your face!
**[21:24] shira**
You made fun of me and looked
down your noses, but I believed!
**[21:28] shira**
You betrayed me, thinking it was
impossible, but I didn't give up!
**[21:32] shira**
And this is how it turns out!
**[21:34] shira**
Well? I'm standing in Antarctica!
**[21:37] shira**
In your face, in your face, in your face!
**[21:39] shira**
In your face!
**[21:41] hina**
That's your priority?
**[21:42] yuzu**
She must have been had a
lot of pent-up feelings.
**[21:44] kima**
It's okay. That's the Shirase-chan we know.
**[21:46] hina**
In your face!

**[00:10] hina**
Antarctica, huh?
**[00:12] kima**
Antarctica, yeah...
**[00:13] yuzu**
It really is Antarctica!
**[00:16] shira**
Yeah...
**[00:20] kana**
High school girls!
**[00:22] all**
Yes?
**[00:24] kana**
Within 100 kg. You're clear.
**[00:27] kima**
I ate so much while cutting down
on my sweets, but it didn't change!
**[00:31] hina**
You should think about that, my dear.
**[00:35] shira**
Is that really what we're taking there?
**[00:37] yuzu**
We can't go in the snow cat, I suppose?
**[00:40] kima**
Yuzuki-chan, you look like
you could die right now.
**[00:42] yuzu**
I certainly feel like it.
**[00:48] kima**
Look!
**[00:56] kima**
It really is a big boat, isn't it?
**[01:07] kima**
Right?
**[01:08] shira**
Yeah.
**[01:09] hina**
At least look first.

**[03:16] man**
Hey, lie down there!
**[03:19] kima**
Okay!
**[03:20] yuzu**
It's so cold!
**[03:23] yuzu**
Or not?
**[03:24] shira**
December is summer here,
**[03:26] shira**
so on warm days, it might not even
get below freezing during the day.
**[03:29] hina**
Really?
**[03:31] kima**
Hey, my hand's totally fine!
**[03:33] kima**
Cold!
**[03:40] kana**
I'll give you a quick tour before the
stuff arrives and things get crazy.
**[03:46] hina**
So this is Syowa Station?
**[03:48] kana**
That thing that looks like a stack
of cubes is the control building.
**[03:51] kana**
If this were a house, it would be like
the living room where everyone hangs out.
**[03:55] kana**
That's the generator building.
**[03:57] kana**
Those are the residence
building and the warehouses.
**[04:00] kana**
That's the Lakeside Hotel.
**[04:01] kima**
Lakeside?
**[04:03] kana**
It's what we call the lodging
house for the summer team.
**[04:06] kana**
Normally, the members who aren't staying
for the winter would live there.
**[04:09] kana**
But because there hasn't been maintenance
at the other building for three years,
**[04:13] kana**
and seeing as you're girls...
**[04:17] kana**
You get your own rooms!
**[04:20] kima**
We get to use all this?
**[04:24] kana**
The air is very dry, so be
prepared for lots of static.
**[04:28] kana**
But the floors are heated,
and if you open the blinds...
**[04:34] yuzu**
At last, I don't have to worry about the
things Kimari-san rambles in her sleep.
**[04:38] kima**
Do I really talk that much?
**[04:40] yuzu**
Yes, you do!
**[04:41] yuzu**
And you do it with your eyes open...
**[04:43] (Flashback) kima**
Emergency.
**[04:45] (Flashback) yuzu**
What is it?
**[04:47] (Flashback) kima**
The jar genie won't come out of the toilet.
**[04:50] (Flashback) kima**
He probably won't go through the ticket gate.
**[04:55] yuzu**
Like that.
**[04:56] kima**
What's the jar genie?
**[04:57] yuzu**
How should I know?!
**[04:59] kana**
Well, let's move on to
the control building...
**[05:01] kana**
Or that was my plan, but I bet the
stuff is about to start arriving.
**[05:05] kana**
Let's go back to the heliport.
**[05:06] all**
Okay!
**[05:10] toshi**
I'll have to replace this...
**[05:16] yume**
Ow.
**[05:24] yumi**
Time for some cleaning up!
**[05:33] kana**
Okay, let's take a break
until the next one arrives!
**[05:36] kana**
You okay?
**[05:37] shira**
Yes.
**[05:38] shira**
I worked part-time at a moving company.
**[05:40] kana**
Okay, then rest for ten minutes and then
help me with the loading over there.
**[05:43] yuzu**
Oh? I got an email...
**[05:46] kana**
It might have arrived when
we were in the base earlier.
**[05:48] kana**
We get a cell phone signal
near the control building.

**[06:10] hina**
Okay, I'm filming! Yuzu, grab
the mike and do a report!
**[06:12] kima**
Hinata-chan, emergency!
**[06:13] hina**
What?
**[06:14] kima**
It's coming toward us!
**[06:19] shira**
It's coming... coming...
**[06:22] hina**
Wait, wait, wait! Stay within five meters!
**[06:24] hina**
Wait, wait!
**[06:25] ---**
No!
**[06:28] kana**
Never a dull moment, huh?
**[06:30] kana**
Something wrong?
**[06:32] yuzu**
Oh, no...
**[07:00] kima**
Is it really okay to drop
dirty snow in there?
**[07:03] shira**
They said it would get
filtered, so it's fine.
**[07:05] hina**
Don't take that off. You'll get sunburn.
**[07:07] kima**
But it's hard to breathe!
**[07:10] hina**
But it's just been one
job after another, huh?
**[07:15] shina**
No one's been here for three years,
so we'll probably be this busy for a while.
**[07:19] hina**
I see...
**[07:20] shira**
You don't like it?
**[07:21] hina**
Keeping busy is the best way
to speed the clock's hands!
**[07:25] shira**
Another made-up saying?
**[07:27] hina**
I thought that one up when I was
working at the convenience store.
**[07:30] hina**
I think I prefer to keep busy.
**[07:36] kima**
I'm exhausted!
**[07:37] yuzu**
I agree.
**[07:39] yuzu**
I think I like keeping busy, too.
**[07:42] kima**
What?
**[07:44] yuzu**
Well... we've been traveling
together for so long, haven't we?
**[07:47] kima**
Yeah! We have!
**[07:49] yuzu**
We talked about a lot of things
and had fun together, didn't we?
**[07:53] hina**
What's with you right now?
**[07:56] kima**
A drama?
**[07:57] yuzu**
I had an audition before we set out.
**[07:59] yuzu**
It's a morning drama. I'll be playing
the best friend of the protagonist.
**[08:02] hina**
No way! And you got the part?
***SIGN*** Shiraishi Tamiko
It's decided! Well done!
You passed the audition for the morning drama!
Congratulations! Great job!
Love, Mom
Sent from myPhone
**[08:05] kima**
That's amazing!
**[08:06] yuzu**
It is great!
**[08:08] yuzu**
But when the drama starts shooting,
I'll have a lot less time.
**[08:11] yuzu**
We won't be able to hang out
together like this anymore!
**[08:14] shira**
You don't like that?
**[08:15] hina**
Well, even without the drama,
we'd be living separately again anyway.
**[08:20] yuzu**
B-But...
**[08:21] kima**
It's okay. We're all best friends already.
**[08:27] yuzu**
Best friends?
**[08:28] yuzu**
Are we best friends?
**[08:33] hina**
Don't cry.
**[08:35] yuzu**
But didn't you say before...
**[08:38] yuzu**
that you'd only just met?
**[08:40] shira**
Well, at the time, that was the case.
**[08:44] yuzu**
So when did you decide you were best friends?
**[08:48] yuzu**
Did it happen while I was in Hokkaido?
**[08:51] kima**
Well...
**[08:54] yuzu**
It did, didn't it?
**[08:55] hina**
Don't cry!
**[08:57] yuzu**
The three of you, without me...
**[08:59] hina**
Wait, wait, wait!
**[09:00] yuzu**
Without ever telling me...
**[09:03] kima**
Don't go outside!
**[09:08] hina**
Anyway, there's nothing we've
done without telling you!
**[09:13] yuzu**
Really?
**[09:15] hina**
You really don't trust anyone, do you?
**[09:19] kima**
Actually, there is one
thing we haven't told you!
**[09:22] kima**
But we are still friends. All of us!
**[09:28] yuzu**
Since when?
**[09:30] kima**
I don't know. No time in particular...
**[09:33] hina**
That's what being friends is, though!
**[09:36] yuzu**
But you never told me you
wanted to be friends.
**[09:46] kana**
Let's have another productive day tomorrow!
**[09:48] all**
Yeah!
**[09:52] shira**
When did we become friends, huh?
**[09:55] hina**
You think she was waiting this whole time
for someone to say, "Let's be friends"?
**[10:00] shira**
We could just say it.
**[10:01] hina**
Hell no.
**[10:03] hina**
"You're obviously just saying
that because I made you!"
**[10:06] shira**
We don't have to do it.
**[10:08] shira**
How's Kimari doing?
**[10:09] hina**
I dunno. She said she could handle it...
**[10:13] hina**
But she's so bold about some things
and so timid about others...

But it's colder in here than it is outside!
**[10:46] yuzu**
My nose is getting red!
**[10:48] shira**
They're conserving energy, remember?
**[10:50] shira**
We need to keep the indoor work short.
**[10:52] kima**
This is all of it, right?

Yes, thank you.
**[10:55] yumi**
Next, take this.

A chicken?
**[10:58] yumi**
Yeah, because it's Christmas.
**[11:00] yumi**
I want you to find somewhere
warm to defrost it.
**[11:04] yumi**
I had a few I set defrosting yesterday,
but it doesn't look like it'll be enough.
**[11:08] hina**
Somewhere warm...
**[11:09] kima**
I have an idea!
**[11:11] yuzu**
Go for it!
**[11:12] yuzu**
And you two can stay here and help me.
**[11:16] shira**
Yes, ma'am.
**[11:17] kima**
That'd be the best place!
**[11:19] hina**
That seems unspeakably dangerous.

What about here, in the sun?

It never sets here, after all!

They're both birds.
**[11:31] hina**
I don't think that matters to them.
**[11:33] hina**
There are penguins here, too.

Do they eat chicken, too?!

It's not that I don't like it...

But it's like a birthday, isn't it?
**[12:28] shira**
So?
**[12:29] yuzu**
It's not fair, is it?
**[12:31] yuzu**
Everybody has a birthday, yet there are
people whose birthdays get celebrated,
**[12:36] yuzu**
and people whose birthdays don't.

Isn't that your song?
**[12:59] kima**
You want to get the
external shots in advance?

Yeah.

Um...

About that thing I mentioned before...
**[13:12] hina**
What happened?
**[13:13] yuzu**
I've decided to do the drama.
**[13:16] kima**
Really?
**[13:17] yuzu**
Yes. I gave it a lot of thought,
**[13:20] yuzu**
and apparently some people here
may be looking forward to it.
**[13:24] hina**
Yeah, that's right!
**[13:25] kima**
Yeah, yeah!

**[14:51] yuzu**

**[14:54] yuzu**
Um... after dinner, I was
hoping to talk to you.
**[15:01] kima**
Sorry, I have something
I have to take care of.
**[15:05] yuzu**
I see...
**[15:09] hina**
What should we do?
**[15:10] shira**
I don't know if I know what to say to her.
**[15:12] hina**
Then, should we lay off?
**[15:13] shira**
I didn't say that...
**[15:16] hina**
Yuzu.
**[15:18] hina**
Don't worry. She's not mad, or anything.
**[15:22] yuzu**
But Kimari-san cried.
**[15:25] shira**
I think she felt hurt.
**[15:29] shira**
It's all on you.
**[15:30] hina**
Don't ditch me!
**[15:32] yuzu**
Have I done something strange?
**[15:34] hina**
Well... I wouldn't say "strange."
**[15:37] hina**
If I were in your position,
I'd probably feel the same way.
**[15:41] hina**
It's just...
**[15:42] all**
Merry Christmas!
**[15:44] shira**
Friendship isn't about lots of words.
**[15:48] yuzu**
I hear that a lot...
**[15:51] yuzu**
What is it about, then?
**[15:53] hina**
Give me a break...
**[15:55] hina**
It's about... feelings?
**[15:59] yuzu**
Feelings?
**[16:00] hina**
For instance, let's say you
tell Kimari you like her.
**[16:03] hina**
Kimari doesn't believe you, so she wants
you to write it down on a piece of paper.
**[16:08] hina**
You'd hate that, right?
You'd feel like she didn't trust you.
**[16:10] yuzu**
Well...
**[16:11] kima**
Seconds, please!
**[16:15] hina**
That's probably why she was crying.
**[16:20] hina**
Yuzu, Kimari already sees you as a friend.
**[16:24] yuzu**
But what makes us friends?
**[16:26] yuzu**
How do you become friends?
**[16:29] hina**
Well...
**[16:30] shira**
There's probably no real way to define it.
**[16:35] shira**
It's not like a parental
or spousal relationship.
**[16:38] shira**
It's more vague than that.
**[16:40] shira**
No one's to blame if it fades.
**[16:43] yuzu**
Oh, no...
**[16:44] shira**
That's the case for me, at least.
**[16:46] shira**
But that's what lets it feel unrestrained.
**[16:48] shira**
That's what lets us be together.
**[16:58] kana**
Merry Christmas.

Could we talk for a minute?
***SIGN*** Got it! I'm on my way!
***SIGN*** I'm sorry
**[17:55] kima**
It's hard to settle down when
it stays dusk like this, huh?
**[17:59] kima**
It's like the day never ends.
**[18:02] yuzu**
You're angry, aren't you?
**[18:05] yuzu**
You didn't write back.
**[18:08] kima**
Because you didn't have
anything to apologize for.
**[18:12] yuzu**
What's that?
**[18:14] kima**
Megu-chan has been my best
friend since kindergarten.
**[18:20] kima**
Right before I headed out, she said
she wanted to break things off...
***SIGN*** Arrived in Singapore!
**[18:24] kima**
But I still think of her as a friend, so...
**[18:26] yuzu**
She doesn't respond often, does she?
***SIGN*** Arrived in Australia!
***SIGN*** I see.
**[18:28] kima**
But somehow, I can tell...
**[18:30] kima**
When I'm watching the screen,
**[18:32] kima**
and it pops up with the
little "message read" sign.
**[18:33] [SONG] kima**
Message Read
**[18:36] kima**
She writes something back,
**[18:38] kima**
sometimes right away,
sometimes after a while,
**[18:41] kima**
sometimes half a day...
**[18:44] kima**
Each time I see it, I can tell.
**[18:47] kima**
"Ah, I bet she's at school right now."
**[18:50] kima**
"I bet she's in bed."
**[18:53] kima**
"I bet she's not sure whether
or not she should respond."
***SIGN*** Send
**[18:59] kima**
I can tell just how she's feeling.
**[19:02] kima**
Is that weird?
**[19:04] kima**
I think that's what friends are for me.
**[19:08] kima**
It's totally vague, I know,
but that's what it is for me.
**[19:15] kima**
I'm sorry. I guess that
doesn't solve anything...
**[19:23] shira**
Merry Christmas!
**[19:24] shira**
And...
**[19:25] both**
Happy birthday!
**[19:29] kima**
Yuzuki-chan, it was your
birthday before, right?
**[19:32] kima**
But we spent so long being
seasick at the time...
**[19:36] kima**
We're sorry.
**[19:37] kima**
Kimari suggested that we should
celebrate it in Antarctica.
**[19:41] kima**
We had Yumiko-san set the ingredients aside.
**[19:43] hina**
Well, just fill in the parts we
messed up with your imagination.
**[19:50] kima**
Yuzuki-chan...
**[19:53] kima**
Happy birthday.
**[19:54] hina**
Happy birthday!
**[19:54] shira**
Go on, blow them out.
**[20:00] kima**
Again?
**[20:01] hina**
This is just like the first
time we met you, huh?
**[20:04] yuzu**
I'm not crying!
**[20:06] hina**
Blow them out before they melt.
**[20:09] hina**
Yuzuki-chan.
**[20:10] yuzu**
No!
**[20:12] yuzu**
Because...
**[20:13] yuzu**
it's the first time...
**[20:15] yuzu**
friends have celebrated my birthday...
**[20:21] kima**
Go on, Yuzuki-chan.
**[20:33] hina**
Hey!
**[20:33] hina**
Oh, dear...
**[20:40] yuzu**
I messed up my first time!
**[21:02] yuzu**
Time for a pick-me-up!
**[21:05] all**
Right!
***SIGN*** Sorry
***SIGN*** Got it! I'm on my way!
***SIGN*** I'm sorry
***SIGN*** Good morn
***SIGN*** Thank you
**[21:20] hina**
But when the question gets put to
you, it's hard to express it, huh?
**[21:26] shira**
You mean, what friends are?
**[21:27] hina**
Yeah.
**[21:27] kima**
Wow, after you burn it,
there's so little left.
**[21:31] shira**
But they say when they take back a whole
year's worth of garbage it'll be like a mountain.
***SIGN*** I'm Sorry Thanks
***SIGN*** Thanks Right?
**[21:44] kima**
I get it!
***SIGN*** Thanks
**[21:46] kima**
I think friendship is this one little word!
***SIGN*** Right?
**[21:51] hina**
What's with that quote?
**[21:53] shira**
But it's better than your quotes, Hinata.
**[21:55] kima**
I know!
***SIGN*** Thanks Right?
**[21:56] sign**
Right
**[22:02] [SONG] ---**
Right

**[00:01] hina**
No! I don't want to die!
**[00:03] kima**
Shut up!
**[00:04] hina**
Let go! This is why I
didn't want to come here!
**[00:08] yuzu**
Kimari-san...
**[00:09] kima**
Shut up! If you want her to
live, fork over the cash!
**[00:14] hina**
Help me! I have a turtle
and a hamster who need me!
**[00:14] yuzu**
I'm sorry, I'm just a temp. You'll want
to talk to the banking manager...
**[00:18] shira**
This is no time to be playing around.
**[00:25] kima**
You're still laughing?!
**[00:27] yuzu**
She's right. It's not nice
to keep laughing at her...
**[00:33] kima**
Yuzuki-chan. That's the kind
of thing that hurts most...
**[00:37] woman**
Can you hear me?
**[00:38] hina**
There it is!
**[00:39] hina**
Kimari!
**[00:41] kima**
Rin! Mom!
**[00:44] mom**
What happened to your face?
**[00:46] mom**
We've gotta take a picture!
**[00:47] kima**
That's the first thing you have
to say after all this time?
**[00:50] rin**
Sis, are you gonna do your New Year's
Eve broadcast looking like that?
**[00:53] hina**
My stomach hurts!
**[00:54] kima**
We're working on it...
**[00:56] woman**
Next. Miyake-san?
**[00:57] hina**
Yes?
**[00:59] woman**
Some friends of yours heard about this
relay test and came to talk to you.
**[01:04] hina**
Friends?
**[01:06] hina**
Of mine?
**[01:07] girl**
Miyake-san, it's been so long!
**[01:09] girl**
We haven't heard from you for
so long, so we were worried.
**[01:12] girl**
What is it?
**[01:14] girl**
Did it go down?
**[01:16] shira**
Hinata?
**[01:17] hina**
Ouchies! My leg's cramped!
**[01:19] hina**
Shirase, sorry, you take over!
**[01:22] shira**
Hey! Hinata!

**[03:11] gin**
It's here.
**[03:38] kana**
That's all the extra stuff we needed
**[03:41] kana**
brought by DROMLAN from Japan
on its way to the new station.
**[03:45] gin**
Which means we have everything we need now.
**[03:47] kana**
Of course, we won't be able
to create an observatory
**[03:50] kana**
that can see the stars this year right away.
**[03:52] kana**
But a few years from now, if we try for it...
**[03:55] gin**
We should go, shouldn't we?
**[03:58] kana**
I think that's what everyone wants, at least.
**[04:01] kana**
Still... that's the place where Takako died.
**[04:05] kana**
It's not safe at all.
**[04:09] kana**
What should we do?
***SIGN*** New Year's
***SIGN*** From Syowa Station
**[04:13] kima**
This is awful!
**[04:15] kima**
I bet Mom's spreading it all
over social media right now!
**[04:18] yuzu**
What's the big deal? It makes better
advertising for the broadcast.
**[04:23] shira**
Hinata?
**[04:24] hina**
Oh... do mine, too!
**[04:28] kima**
Oh? Your only New Year's
card is to your manager?
**[04:30] kima**
None for your friends from earlier?
**[04:33] hina**
Well... they're New Year's cards,
**[04:35] hina**
but they won't reach anyone until
the boat gets back to Japan anyway.
**[04:38] hina**
I'm gonna hit the can!
**[04:41] hina**
Ouch!
**[04:42] hina**
Stupid thing...
**[04:44] kima**
Is she annoyed?
**[04:46] kima**
Did it hurt that much?
**[04:48] yuzu**
She seems a bit stressed out.
**[04:51] kima**
Shirase-chan, you're going, too?
**[05:02] hina**
Piss off!
**[05:04] hina**
Piss off!
**[05:05] hina**
Piss off, damn it!
**[05:09] hina**
Stupid thing!
**[05:11] hina**
Piss off!
**[05:42] kima**
There you are!
**[05:44] kima**
The weather's cleared up,
**[05:45] kima**
so they said they'd bring us along for
the sea ice and geological testing!
**[05:48] hina**
I'll prepare the camera,
so think about your report!
**[05:51] shira**
Huh? Oh. Right.
**[05:53] kima**
Expedition! Expedition!
**[05:54] yuzu**
Don't forget, you said you'd do the report!
**[05:56] hina**
Don't claim later that
you don't want to do it!
**[05:58] shira**
Um... Hinata...
**[06:00] shira**
About before...
**[06:01] hina**
That was a test, so it won't cut the mustard.
**[06:04] shira**
No—
**[06:04] kima**
Hurry up! They're heading out soon!
**[06:07] hina**
Coming!
**[06:11] hona**
We did this together three years ago.
**[06:14] hona**
Takako-senpai just wanted to do everything.
**[06:18] kima**
She did?
**[06:19] hona**
Yeah, she went all over.
**[06:22] kima**
She was here, too, Shirase-chan!
**[06:25] kima**
Isn't that nice?
**[06:27] shira**
Yeah...
**[06:30] hona**
Take that!
**[06:34] kima**
What's that?
**[06:35] hona**
It's all ice up ahead, so we're
digging a hole with steam.
**[06:39] hona**
After that, I think we went to Rundvågshetta.
**[06:43] kima**
Sounds like a powerful name!
**[06:45] hona**
It's a place with exposed rock.
**[06:50] hona**
If you ask Nobue-san,
she might take you there.
**[06:53] kima**
Let's go!
**[06:54] kima**
* Sea Ice here! Nobue-san at geology?*
* Do you read? Over!*
**[06:58] nobu**
*Haven't heard from him since Christmas.*
**[07:02] nobu**
*The garnet he gave me two years ago...*
**[07:06] nobu**
Dry rocks and dry love...
**[07:09] nobu**
No email. No nothing from Yu-kun.
**[07:13] yuzu**
*She's currently unable to talk. Over.*
**[07:23] kima**
It's cold!
**[07:24] yuzu**
Seriously. The difference in
air temperature is extreme...
**[07:29] yuzu**
Please, stop it!
**[07:31] kima**
Look! It's amazing!
**[07:31] kima**
So cold!
***SIGN*** Watch for animals
**[07:44] kima**
Antarctica really is amazing, huh?
**[07:48] hina**
It's neat to see it from this angle...
**[07:55] kima**
The sky is flowing by!
**[07:57] yuzu**
I wonder if we'll see an aurora?
**[07:59] shira**
At night, maybe.
**[08:01] hina**
But it won't become night
**[08:04] hina**
during the time we're here.
**[08:07] shira**
Hinata.
**[08:10] shira**
Is something bothering you?
**[08:13] hina**
Bothering me?
**[08:15] hina**
Well, my lips get so
chapped with the dry air,
**[08:19] hina**
but my lip balm is frozen,
so it's hard to put on.
**[08:21] kima**
I know how you feel!
**[08:22] yuzu**
It really is hard!
It's like your skin is peeling off.
**[08:25] hina**
Right?
**[08:26] ---**
So dry!
***SIGN*** Be Careful Going Outside
**[08:27] toshi**
* All crew outdoors, please seek*
* shelter in the main building*
**[08:30] toshi**
*or a building with emergency rations.*
**[08:36] kima**
It's not getting better at all.
**[08:38] yuzu**
You should probably give up on it.
**[08:40] hina**
Where'd Shirase go, anyway?
**[08:41] kima**
Someone asked her earlier if
she knew how to play Mahjong...
**[08:44] hina**
For real? Can she?
**[08:46] kima**
It sounded fun, so I looked
over her shoulder, but...
**[08:49] (Flashback) kima**
Hey, how do you read the one that
looks like a person next to a five?
**[08:54] (Flashback) shira**
"Go."
**[08:55] (Flashback) kima**
Hey, you've got some white ones
mixed up in your reserves.
**[08:58] (Flashback) shira**
They're not reserves.
**[09:00] (Flashback) kima**
That bird is so cute!
**[09:02] kima**
"Get out!"
**[09:04] kima**
...she said.
**[09:05] yuzu**
That's rather cruel.
**[09:06] kima**
Right? I was only asking questions!
**[09:09] hina**
Shirase's always been testy!

Hey, have you been playing with

Yes, once in a while...

**[09:35] shira**
She's probably in the bath.
**[09:36] kana**
What's up?
**[09:37] kana**
We got an email from her
friends addressed to the base.

Hinata-chan?
***SIGN*** National Antarctic Research Center (To Miyake Hinata)
**[10:40] hina**
You saw it?
**[10:42] shira**
Just a little.
**[10:44] yuzu**
But that was addressed to Hinata-san...
**[10:46] hina**
How could you do something like that?
**[10:49] shira**
But... but I was worried, so...
**[10:52] shira**
You seemed so mad about something, and...
**[10:55] shira**
you wouldn't say anything...
**[10:58] kima**
You were mad?
**[10:59] hina**
What, you saw it?
**[11:01] shira**
You should have said something!
**[11:02] shira**
I was worried.
**[11:03] shira**
I thought you were hiding something!
**[11:06] shira**
Something you weren't telling us!
***SIGN*** We're sorry for leaving you all alone.
**[11:25] hina**
Let me tell you in advance,
it's a totally gross story.
**[11:29] hina**
I don't want to talk about it,
and I hate that you asked me.
**[11:32] shira**
Just tell us.
**[11:36] hina**
In short, it's about why
I stopped going to club.
**[11:43] (Flashback) club**
It's the competition,
so the fastest people should go.
**[11:46] (Flashback) club**
Your year and stuff doesn't matter!
**[11:48] (Flashback) hina**
But for the third-years,
this will be their last competition...
**[11:52] (Flashback) club**
Exactly! It would be more
rude to go easy on them!
**[11:56] (Flashback) teach**
Two hundred meter, Miyake Hinata.
**[12:00] (Flashback) hina**
Yes!
**[12:05] (Flashback) sen**
Didn't you say something to that idiot?
**[12:08] (Flashback) club**
O-Of course... we told
her to be more sensitive...
**[12:13] hin**
In that instant, nothing mattered to me.
**[12:19] shira**
But it does matter!
They're the ones to blame.
**[12:25] hina**
Humans can be scary, huh?
**[12:27] hina**
After I quit, they kept spreading all
kinds of rumors to lay the blame on me.
**[12:35] yuzu**
Is that why you quit school?
**[12:40] shira**
Hinata.
**[12:43] hina**
Sorry I'm a loser!
**[12:46] yuzu**
Then the ones who sent the email are...
**[12:49] hina**
Yeah. My old teammates.
**[12:51] hina**
They want to talk during the broadcast.
**[12:54] hina**
They said they were proud their
friend went to Antarctica.
**[12:59] hina**
Though mainly, I was thinking
"Oh, were we friends?"
**[13:09] nobu**
Well?
**[13:10] nobu**
What? Different from what you imagined?
**[13:15] hina**
It's almost otherworldly, huh?
**[13:19] kima**
Oh, uh, yeah!
**[13:20] yuzu**
What an unusual color!
**[13:22] yume**
We'll set up a tent and
antenna down that way.
**[13:25] kima**
Okay!
**[13:27] hina**
Hey!
**[13:29] hina**
How long are you gonna
drag this out? Forget it.
**[13:32] hina**
I don't like being treated this way.
**[13:35] kima**
But...
**[13:35] hina**
Look, why do you think I came to Antarctica?
**[13:39] hina**
Because there's nothing here!
**[13:41] hina**
I wanted to go to an empty place
with no one to tie me down!
**[13:46] hina**
Look, isn't it amazing?
**[13:48] hina**
Glaciers! Strata! Water from melted snow!
**[13:52] hina**
Colors and shapes I've never seen before!
**[13:56] hina**
We're in a place isolated
from everything we know,
**[13:59] hina**
a completely different world
from where we've been before.
**[14:03] hina**
That's what I came here to enjoy!
**[14:05] hina**
But it doesn't mean anything
if you're all sad, right?
**[14:10] kima**
Got it. Then we'll forget it!
**[14:12] kima**
First, we've got camping to do!
**[14:14] yuzu**
It's not a game!
**[14:16] hina**
Shirase?
**[14:18] shira**
It does mean something.
**[14:21] shira**
It absolutely does mean something!
**[14:32] yuzu**
It's like a sci-fi movie, isn't it?
**[14:34] nobu**
Want to drink the water? It's delicious.
**[14:37] kima**
We can drink it?
**[14:38] nobu**
In a way, it's the cleanest
water on the planet.
**[14:41] nobu**
Hardly anyone's ever touched it,
**[14:44] nobu**
and it doesn't get warm
enough to breed bacteria.
**[14:47] hina**
I'm first!
**[14:48] kima**
No fair!
**[14:54] kima**
How is it?
**[14:55] hina**
Delicious!
**[14:57] yuzu**
I want to try, too!
**[15:01] yuzu**
You're right! It's delicious and cold!
**[15:03] kima**
It really hits the spot!
**[15:06] kima**
Want some, Shirase-chan?
**[15:08] shira**
Later.
**[15:10] yuma**
We got through.
**[15:12] yuma**
Talk.
**[15:14] shira**
Me?
**[15:16] shira**
U-Um... this is Kobuchizawa at Rundvågshetta.

**[15:23] kana**
*This is Syowa. We read you loud and clear.*
**[15:26] kana**
How is the scenery? Over.
**[15:28] shira**
*Um... It's like we're surrounded by cake.*
**[15:33] kana**
Cake?
**[15:34] gin**
Takako said the same thing.
**[15:36] gin**
The minute we got there,
"I want to eat chocolate cake!"
**[15:40] shira**
My mother said that?
**[15:42] yuzu**
It's the best natural water I've ever had!
**[15:52] kima**
Like this?
**[15:54] yume**
Perfect.
**[15:55] yuzu**
Kimari-san, you're good
at the strangest things.
**[15:57] kima**
That's not strange, is it?
**[16:00] hina**
Can they see this on the satellites?
**[16:02] nobu**
Yes. We use these so they can check
our location on the satellites.
**[16:06] nobu**
It will definitely show up.
**[16:09] yuzu**
It's not taking it now.
**[16:12] nobu**
Yu-kun...
**[16:13] nobu**
Yu-kun!
**[16:15] kima**
Um...
**[16:17] yume**
Don't let it bother you.
She does this constantly.
**[16:22] hina**
We even put a plate here.
Someone's watching, huh?
**[16:28] hina**
It's nothing personal, okay?
**[16:43] kima**
What bliss!
**[16:44] yuzu**
Especially since it's getting colder.
**[16:47] kima**
And now it's time for...
**[16:49] kima**
Ta-da!
**[16:50] kima**
Next time we get hot water
going, let's make tamagoyaki!
**[16:53] hina**
You really like tamagoyaki, huh?
**[16:55] yuzu**
She did eat a lot of it for
breakfast in Singapore!
**[16:59] shira**
Hinata.
**[17:01] shira**
I'm going to collect water. Come with me.
**[17:04] ima**
We don't have enough?
Sorry I used it all earlier...
**[17:07] yuzu**
Kimari-san.
**[17:14] hina**
Wow, it's freezing when the wind blows.
**[17:17] hina**
I could just die right now!
**[17:19] shira**
I've been thinking about what
I'd do in your position.
***SIGN*** We're sorry for leaving you all alone.
**[17:26] shira**
If someone had treated me so awfully,
**[17:28] shira**
then called me up out of the blue,
as though nothing happened,
**[17:32] shira**
wanting to apologize for the
permanent damage they'd done...
**[17:35] hina**
Hey, look...
**[17:36] shira**
I couldn't be okay with it.
**[17:38] shira**
I couldn't smile.
**[17:42] hina**
You're not me, though.
**[17:45] shira**
I know, but...

I know, but...

Shirase.
**[17:52] hina**
Take off your gloves.
**[17:54] hina**
Hand them over.
**[18:01] hina**
Your hands are enough.
**[18:03] hina**
Shirase, you're so annoying,
the way you keep talking and talking.
**[18:08] hina**
Thanks.
**[18:10] hina**
I'm sorry. I guess I'm still scared.
**[18:15] shira**
Hinata...
**[18:16] hina**
I'm scared.
**[18:19] shira**
But we...
**[18:22] hina**
I said your hands were enough, remember?
**[18:32] hina**
Thanks for bringing me along.
**[18:37] kima**
Tamagoyaki's ready!

Okay! We're on our way!

Do you think I'll feel
better if I forgive them?
**[19:12] shira**
You want to forgive them?
**[19:13] hina**
If it would make me feel better, I might.
**[19:16] hina**
But when I imagine them looking all relieved
afterwords, it gets under my skin.
**[19:23] shira**
"Piss off"?
**[19:26] hina**
Yeah.
**[19:28] hina**
I'm a pretty petty person, aren't I?

It's 9:00 AM here.

**[19:44] kima**
Shirase-chan?
**[19:45] shira**
I beg your pardon, but could
you leave Miyake Hinata alone?
**[19:49] hina**
Shirase...
**[19:51] hina**
You might think Hinata has been holding a
grudge against you since she quit school,
**[19:56] hina**
that she's been suffering badly.
**[20:00] hina**
Maybe you think she spends every day crying,
**[20:02] hina**
thinking about what happened to her.
**[20:05] hina**
But...
**[20:07] hina**
But...
**[20:11] kima**
But that's not true!
**[20:14] kima**
Hinata-chan is having a super,
amazing fun time with us!
**[20:19] kima**
She's having a really fulfilling trip
of the sort you can't get where you are!
**[20:23] hina**
Hey!
**[20:24] shira**
Hinata is already looking forward!
**[20:27] shira**
She's already walking!
**[20:29] shira**
She's taking her steps with us!
**[20:31] hina**
Shirase!
**[20:32] yuzu**
It's fine! It's friendship!
**[20:35] shira**
Unlike Hinata, I'm a real jerk,
so I'll say it outright.
**[20:39] shira**
You can't live your lives in
this halfway state forever!
**[20:43] shira**
You hurt someone and made them suffer!
**[20:45] shira**
Now you get to live with that!
**[20:47] shira**
That's what you get for hurting someone!
**[20:50] shira**
That's what you get for hurting my friend!
**[20:57] hina**
Shirase!
**[21:05] shira**
You think you can come crawling back now?
**[21:07] shira**
Piss off!

So what if you do? It's just a drum can.

It's not too far, but we can't
get there via helicopter.

You mean...

...we take the snowcat?

Righto!

Yeah!

We finally get to take one!

It's not particularly fun.
**[01:09] kana**
They're very slow!
**[01:10] kana**
We have to avoid crevasses and
other dangerous places as we go.
**[01:14] kana**
We'll be going one way, then
have to alter course a bit...

Of course! That's why we're inviting you.
**[01:43] shira**
Could you give me time to think about it?
**[01:48] gin**
Understood.
**[01:54] kana**
I thought she'd be jumping at the chance...
**[02:00] yuzu**
The hole in the ozone layer was
discovered during an expedition here,
**[02:05] yuzu**
and they were the first in
the world to report it.

**[02:31] yuzu**
Shirase-san didn't come, did she?
**[02:35] hina**
She probably needs time
to be alone and think.

She hasn't had much to say since
the captain made the offer...

Kimari, your lack of planning is making
this more complicated than it should be.
**[04:06] yuzu**
Why did you even say you'd go talk to her?

Because...
**[04:13] shira**
Sorry.

I'm not particularly depressed

**[04:37] sign**

ended up thinking at all.
**[04:49] sign**
The most I could muster was
"Wow, it's just like in the pictures."
**[04:55] hina**
Is that why the first thing you said
when we got here was "in your face"?
**[05:01] shira**
It was?
**[05:02] yuzu**
You don't remember?
**[05:07] kima**
But you came here because your
mother was waiting, didn't you?
**[05:11] kima**
You wanted to come here because
your mother was here, right?
**[05:15] shira**
Yeah.
**[05:16] kima**
That's why you asked Kanae-san over and over,
**[05:19] kima**
took all those jobs,
worked so hard to get here...
**[05:23] shira**
I know that.
**[05:23] kima**
You said that your mother

**[05:54] shira**
I'm going to spend the rest of

So, before we head inland,
**[06:04] kana**
I'd like to talk for about thirty minutes
about the civilian research projects
**[06:08] kana**

**[06:38] yumi**
You got it too close.
**[06:39] yumi**
By the way, I heard...
Kobuchizawa-san's unsure she'll go?
**[06:46] yuzu**
I suppose...
**[06:47] yumi**
Are you sure you don't want
to say anything to her?
**[06:54] hina**
"To act is not necessarily compassion.
**[06:56] hina**
True compassion sometimes
comes from inaction!"
**[06:59] yuzu**
More nonsense...
**[07:01] kima**
But that's basically what we decided.
**[07:06] yuzu**
I envy you guys.
**[07:09] yumi**
The ability to give each other space
is the proof that you're good friends.
**[07:18] yumi**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[07:24] yuzu**
Did she say we were good friends?
**[07:28] kima**
Yeah.
**[07:30] yuzu**
We're good friends!
**[07:36] shira**
Aren't you going to go?
**[07:38] gin**
You should know by now that
I'm not good in party situations.
**[07:44] shira**
What do you think?
**[07:46] gin**
About what?
**[07:49] shira**
Mom.
**[07:50] gin**
If you have to ask me that,
you probably shouldn't go.
**[08:10] gin**
I may not want to believe it,
but the fact is that Takako is dead.
**[08:16] gin**
I can talk about dying wishes
and what she would have wanted,
**[08:19] gin**
but none of us know if that's how she really
felt, if it's what she really wanted.
**[08:25] shira**
Then why did you come to Antarctica again?
**[08:28] shira**
Because I wanted to come.
**[08:31] shira**
Because I latched on to the
idea that Takako wanted me to.
**[08:37] gin**
At the end of the day, those ideas we
latch on to aren't enough to motivate us.
**[08:42] gin**
But when we run around on
the injustices of reality,
**[08:44] gin**
they're the only things
that can break through,
**[08:46] gin**
make the impossible possible,
and allow us to proceed on.
**[08:51] gin**
That's what I believe.
**[08:55] shira**
You're saying I shouldn't
leave it to anyone else?
**[08:58] gin**
That's right. But...

**[12:42] hina**
Eat fast or it'll get cold!
**[12:43] kima**
We're turning off the
engines at night, right?
**[12:45] kana**
Yeah, we don't have enough
fuel to keep it running.
**[12:49] toshi**
*Syowa here. Syowa here.*
**[12:51] toshi**
*Inland team, do you read? Over.*
**[12:56] gin**
It's a regular check-in.
**[12:58] gin**
Practice it.
**[13:00] gin**
Because none of us knows what's
going to happen out there.
**[13:06] kana**
It's going to get very windy tonight,
**[13:09] kana**
so when moving between cars,
make sure to use this rope.
**[13:12] kana**
Don't assume you'll be fine
because it's just a few meters.
**[13:15] kana**
If you end up out in a blizzard,
you're never making it back.
**[13:22] kima**
What's that?
**[13:27] hina**
What?
**[13:29] yuzu**
It's the sun... right?
**[13:32] kana**
Looks kind of apocalyptic, huh?
**[13:34] kana**
It's called a "sun pillar."
**[13:38] kana**
It's an optical illusion
caused by ice crystals.
**[13:43] shira**
Did my mother see this, too?
**[13:47] gin**
Yes, she did.
**[13:49] gin**
You could say she gazed
at it as she slept there.
**[14:06] gin**
It's here.
**[14:07] hina**
What, a blizzard?
**[14:09] kana**
There's no question.
**[14:11] kana**
Don't worry.
**[14:12] kana**
As long as we stay in here...
**[14:15] kima**
I can't see anything!
**[14:16] yuzu**
Neither can I!
**[14:18] kana**
I see. This is your first
time seeing a real one?
**[14:21] yuzu**
Yes...
**[14:34] shira**
Was it like this when my mother went missing?
**[14:43] gin**
We think she left something
at the inland station,
**[14:47] gin**
or maybe she slipped...
**[14:54] (Flashback) gin**
Takako?
**[14:57] gin**
The next thing I knew, she was gone.
**[15:00] gin**
And moments later, a blizzard was raging.
**[15:08] gin**
*It's beautiful...*
**[15:12] (Flashback) gin**
Takako!
**[15:15] gin**
*It's so...*
**[15:18] gin**
*very beautiful.*
**[16:01] kima**
Shirase-chan.
**[16:03] kima**
Are you okay?
**[16:06] shira**
You can't sleep?
**[16:08] kima**
No... I'd been asleep, but I just woke up.
**[16:15] shira**
Do you like Antarctica, Kimari?
**[16:19] kima**
Yeah, I really like it.
**[16:22] shira**
I see.
**[16:23] kima**
But I'm not sure if I would have
liked it if I were here by myself.
**[16:28] shira**
Really?
**[16:30] kima**
It's because I'm here with you guys.
**[16:32] kima**
As long as I was with you guys, I'd probably
feel the same way about the Arctic.
**[16:38] kima**
Hey, Shirase-chan...
**[16:41] kima**
Thanks for taking me.
**[16:44] kima**
Thanks to you, I got the
most out of my youth.
**[16:52] shira**
*Dear Mom.*
**[16:55] shira**
*I've made friends.*
**[16:59] shira**
* I, who thought I'd be fine by*
* myself forever, now have friends.*
**[17:07] shira**
*They're all a little weird,*
**[17:09] shira**
*a little frustrating,*
**[17:11] shira**
*a little broken...*
**[17:15] shira**
* But I have friends who were willing*
* to travel to Antarctica with me.*
**[17:21] shira**
*We fought, we cried,*
**[17:25] shira**
*we had problems...*
**[17:27] shira**
* But they were willing to*
* travel this far with me,*
**[17:31] shira**
*to this place where you were...*
**[17:37] shira**
*I was able to come this far because of them.*
**[17:44] shira**
*Mom,*
**[17:46] shira**
*what can you see from where you are?*
**[17:49] shira**
* Will I be able to see the*
* same sights that you saw?*
**[17:56] shira**
*I'm going to be there soon...*
**[17:59] shira**
*the place where you are.*

**[18:12] kana**
It's been a while, huh?
**[18:14] gin**
Sorry for the wait.
**[18:17] gin**
Though we're going to keep you
waiting a while yet, still...
**[18:19] hina**
Is this okay like this?
**[18:21] kana**
Of course it's not.
***SIGN*** Challenge For Antarctic 1st Team Observatory Site
**[18:24] kana**
We need to fix the foundation,
build the building,
**[18:26] kana**
carry supplies piece by piece,
create a telescope...
**[18:32] gin**
It's going to be a long time before the
Kobuchizawa Observatory is finished...
**[18:37] gin**
But...
**[18:38] kima**
Kobuchizawa...
**[18:48] shira**
She's probably remembering...
**[18:51] shira**
seeing this with my mom...
**[18:55] hina**
Shirase...
**[19:00] shira**
We're not going to find any traces of my Mom.
**[19:03] shira**
It was three years ago.
**[19:05] kima**
You don't know that!
**[19:05] hina**
Yeah.
**[19:06] hina**
The fact that no one's been here for three
years makes it more likely that we will!
**[19:09] shira**
It's okay! We're not going to find anything!
**[19:11] kima**
You can't give up!
**[19:12] kima**
Anything at all... even one single piece!
**[19:16] shira**
It's fine!
**[19:16] hina**
No, it's not!
**[19:17] shira**
You won't find anything!
**[19:19] yuzu**
How can you be sure?
**[19:21] shira**
It's okay.
**[19:23] shira**
Just making it here was enough.
**[19:27] shira**
I've accomplished my goal.
**[19:30] shira**
I made it to the place my mother was.
***SIGN*** The 1st Challenge For Antarctic
**[19:33] shira**
Thank you. So it's okay now.
**[19:37] kima**
No, it isn't!
**[19:38] kima**
You've come this far!
**[19:40] kima**
You've come this far, that's why...
**[19:42] kima**
Just one piece!
**[19:43] kima**
There has to be one piece of
proof that your mother was here!

***SIGN*** Watch Duty
***SIGN*** Tamaki Miyake
***SIGN*** Himi
**[00:10] Kimari**
Good morning!
**[00:11] Hinata**
You're late.
**[00:13] Yumiko**
Being late for watch duty
makes trouble for everyone.
**[00:16] Kimari**
Yes ma'am!
**[00:16] Hinata**
Today's menu, if you would.
***SIGN*** Food Waste
**[00:21] Kimari**
"Leftover special."
**[00:23] Hinata**
That's too honest!
**[00:25] Yumiko**
At times like these,
we go with you-know-what!
***SIGN*** Today's Menu
***SIGN*** Antarctic Style Pork
**[00:28] [SONG] sign**
Eat your dried sardines, too!
***SIGN*** Pork-on-rice and pork soup sets available!!
***SIGN*** Cleaning duty: Team B
**[00:31] Kimari**
That's it for the watch report.
**[00:32] Kimari**
Is there any other business to address?
**[00:34] Nobue**
Um, I was thinking the premade
Calpis is too thin...
**[00:39] Honami**
It's too strong, isn't it?
**[00:40] Yume**
Poor man's Calpis.
**[00:42] Honami**
Don't call me "poor."
**[00:44] ---**
**[00:46] Kimari**
Person on duty there?
**[00:47] Hinata**
Well, the person on duty
yesterday made it, not me,
**[00:52] Hinata**
but I'll do what I can.
**[00:54] Kimari**
It's cold!
**[00:56] Hinata**
They did say it would be windy...
**[00:59] Kimari**
What are we supposed to do after this?
**[01:01] Hinata**
Clean the bathrooms!
***SIGN*** The summer team leaves
in 3 days!
**[01:15] Honami**
I told you I hate hijiki!
**[01:19] Hinata**
Just eat it.
**[01:21] Hinata**
I'm told you've been a little
anemic lately, Honami-san.
**[01:24] Honami**
Meanie!
**[01:26] Honami**
Those high school girls
were so cute at the start.
**[01:30] Yume**
They weren't doing anything then.
**[01:32] Kimari**
Want some tea?
**[01:34] Honami**
After so much time in Antarctica,
you'll never reintegrate into society.
**[01:38] Honami**
Like that.
**[01:40] Shirase**
Chisou, ron.
**[01:41] Shirase**
Riisoku, jyunchansanshiki, dora dora...
**[01:43] Shirase**
Sorry... with uraura, that's a sanbai man.
**[01:47] kane**
I told you not to rely on the suji!
**[01:48] Kimari**
I think that's a different thing, actually...
**[01:53] Kimari**
Doesn't the sound of a vacuum cleaner
just make you think of home?
**[01:58] Hinata**
Where have you been?
**[01:59] Yuzuki**
They invited me out,
so I did some interviews.
***SIGN*** Island Stroll
***SIGN*** Grotto
**[02:02] Kimari**
Oh, the island stroll?
**[02:03] Yuzuki**
Yes.
**[02:04] Kimari**
They took Shirase-chan and I
out for that yesterday.
**[02:07] All**
Yeah!
**[02:09] Hinata**
Why didn't you tell me?!
**[02:11] Yuzuki**
Because you were on watch duty today!
**[02:13] Kimari**
Odd man out!
**[02:15] Hinata**
Shut up!
**[02:15] Kimari**
Ow!
**[02:17] Hinata**
Who cares about some island stroll?
**[02:19] Hinata**
I'm going out on the ice operation later!
**[02:22] Kimari**
That's right! I gotta hurry!
**[02:24] Yuzuki**
It's almost time for the meetup!
**[02:26] Hinata**
Hey!
**[02:27] Shirase**
We're all going on the ice operation.
***SIGN*** Island Stroll
***SIGN*** Grotto
**[02:31] Hinata**
Really?
**[02:34] Kimari**
The four of us will be heading out
to join the ice operation. Over.
**[02:38] Voice**
*Roger that. Be safe.*
**[02:42] Yuzuki**
Which should we take?
**[02:46] Yumiko**
Hi!
**[02:55] Yuzuki**
I could just die!
**[03:01] Yuzuki**
Wow! Glaciers!
**[03:04] Yuzuki**
You're shaving from these big blocks of ice?
**[03:08] Kanae**
It's forbidden to remove
things from Antarctica,
**[03:10] Kanae**
so it's the only souvenir
we're allowed to take freely.
**[03:14] Kanae**
This ice is full of air that's
tens of thousands of years old,
**[03:19] Kanae**
so as it melts, it pops.
**[03:22] Kanae**
Want to eat some?
**[03:23] All**
Yeah!
**[03:30] Kimari**
So this is how thousand-year-old air tastes!
**[03:32] Yuzuki**
You can distinguish it?
**[03:34] Kimari**
When I grow up, I've gotta
drink alcohol with this.
**[03:36] Hinata**
I bet you'd be a loud drunk, Kimari.
**[03:39] Kimari**
You think?
**[03:40] Kanae**
When this starts up, it really hits
home that summer's almost over.
**[03:45] Yuzuki**
Really?
**[03:47] Kanae**
Soon, it'll be autumn, then winter...
**[03:50] Kimari**
The winter team!
**[03:51] Hinata**
What do you do during winter?
**[03:54] Kanae**
All kinds of things.
We play games, drink booze...
***SIGN*** Soumen
**[04:00] Kanae**
Of course, research and
investigation is important,
**[04:04] Kanae**
but when we hit June, it's nighttime all day.
**[04:09] Hinata**
I see...
**[04:10] Kimari**
"Polar night," right?
**[04:13] Kanae**
During the day, there's a faint
brightness around the horizon,
**[04:17] Kanae**
but that's the only change you see.
**[04:19] Kanae**
Otherwise, it just stays
night for a long, long time.
**[04:23] Hinata**
Perpetual night, huh?
**[04:26] Kanae**
But that just makes the stars
all the more more beautiful!
**[04:29] Kanae**
You can see the aurora, too!
**[04:30] Kimari**
The aurora...
**[04:32] Kimari**
That's right, we never saw it!
**[04:34] Hinata**
Because we only get a tiny bit of night.
**[04:37] Kimari**
We got a photo with penguins,
ate shaved ice...
**[04:39] Kimari**
we haven't gotten the aurora
or the Antarctic stars!
**[04:41] Hinata**
Because the sun doesn't
go down, like I told you.
**[04:43] Shirase**
Help!
**[04:45] Shirase**
Help!
**[04:46] Shirase**
But I'm happy! But they stink! But I'm happy!
**[04:50] Hinata**
What's she doing?
**[04:50] Shirase**
But they stink! But I'm happy!
**[04:52] Kanae**
I need to get back to work.
**[04:54] Kanae**
You guys take it easy.
**[04:54] Shirase**
But they stink! But I'm happy!
**[04:56] Kanae**
This'll be your last day
on the frozen sea, right?
**[05:05] Shirase**
But they stink!
**[05:07] Kimari**
That's right...
**[05:08] Shirase**
But I'm happy!
**[05:10] Shirase**
I told you to help me!
**[05:12] Hinata**
Sorry, I can't get within
five meters of them...
**[05:14] Shirase**
Do something!
**[05:15] Hinata**
Sorry, I can't!
**[05:17] Yuzuki**
We've really gotten used
to it all, haven't we?
**[05:21] Yuzuki**
This scenery, too...
**[05:26] Kimari**
Hey, just hypothetically...
**[05:31] Kimari**
Hypothetically...
**[05:35] Kimari**
Well, no one else needs the rooms.
**[05:38] Kimari**
And we can keep sending
video from here, right?
**[05:40] Kimari**
So there's no reason we *have*
to leave right now, is there?
**[05:47] Kimari**
You're going to hurt me!
**[05:49] Hinata**
I'm not, I'm not.
**[05:53] Kimari**
Liar!
**[05:54] Hinata**
What did you think? If we don't go
back now, we're stuck here all year.
**[05:58] Kimari**
I know that. It'll be fine.
**[06:00] Kimari**
I bet that once it gets
dark I could sleep forever.
**[06:04] Shirase**
What about school? By the time we get
back, everyone will have graduated.
**[06:08] Kimari**
Well...
**[06:09] Yuzuki**
What about our families?
**[06:11] Hinata**
And Yuzu's drama?
**[06:17] Yuzuki**
Well, I do understand not
wanting to go back...
**[06:21] Kimari**
You'll come back, then?
**[06:23] Yuzuki**
What? Sure...
**[06:24] Kimari**
For the winter stay. All four of us!
**[06:26] Hinata**
Fine.
**[06:27] Kimari**
You'd better mean it!
You'd better not let me down!
**[06:30] Shirase**
Yeah, yeah...
**[06:32] Kimari**
I'm asking seriously.
**[06:35] Shirase**
I'm answering seriously.
**[06:39] Kimari**
Okay, then!
**[06:49] Yuzuki**
But... what are we going to do?
**[06:52] Yuzuki**
Remember what the captain said?
**[06:54] Yuzuki**
If there was anything we wanted to do
before we leave, we should tell her.
**[07:03] Kimari**
Before we leave, huh?
**[07:08] Gin**
Are you sure that's all you want?
**[07:09] Kimari**
Yeah. Before we leave, we want
to play with everyone here!
***SIGN*** Hey! Let 'er rip!
***SIGN*** You can do it!
***SIGN*** Let's do this!
**[07:22] Toshio**
Captain! If I hit it out of the park,
will you consider my offer?
**[07:28] Gin**
Sure.
**[07:29] Toshio**
I'm holding you to that!
**[07:31] Yumiko**
He still hasn't given up?
**[07:33] Shirase**
Can he hit it?
**[07:35] Kanae**
I doubt it. Gin-chan is known as
the "Antarctic 19-in-Pinstripes."
**[07:40] Kanae**
Her pitches are first-rate.
**[07:42] Kanae**
And...
**[07:47] Kanae**
No one can dodge them.
**[07:48] Kimari**
No way...
**[07:50] Kanae**
Don't worry.
**[07:52] Kanae**
Takako could still hit them.
**[08:08] Gin**
*Takako...*
**[08:12] Gin**
*You're watching, right?*
**[08:19] Yuzuki**
Hinata-san!
***SIGN*** Lavatory | Bath Washroom
**[08:33] Hinata**
What, now?
**[08:35] Hinata**
If you were gonna cut it, you should
have done it when we arrived.
**[08:37] Shirase**
I just got the urge to cut it.
**[08:39] Kimari**
Should I do it?
**[08:40] Yuzuki**
Kimari-san, please stand back.
**[08:41] Kimari**
Aw...
**[08:43] Hinata**
Up to where?
**[08:48] Hinata**
Seriously?
**[08:52] Shirase**
Yeah!
***SIGN*** Farewell, Summer Team!
**[08:55] Toshio**
You can't keep putting it off.
She's really going, you know...
***SIGN*** Farewell, Summer Team!
***SIGN*** Challenge for Antarctica

***SIGN*** Remember us when you're home
**[09:04] Kanae**
There.
**[09:07] Yuzuki**
Is this flag handmade?
**[09:09] Kanae**
The guests of honor are here.
**[09:11] Kanae**
Come on, line up here!
**[09:12] All**
Okay!
**[09:18] Kanae**
Huh?
**[09:24] Shirase**
Well? Does it look good on me?
**[09:30] Gin**
You really are your mother's daughter.
**[09:32] Gin**
You look just like her when you smile.
**[09:34] Honami**
What happened? Broken heart?
**[09:36] Kimari**
No.
**[09:37] Hinata**
But maybe, in a way...
**[09:39] Honami**
In a way?
**[09:40] Yume**
Use your imagination.
**[09:41] Honami**
I don't get it!
**[09:44] Kanae**
Normally, we'd be changing
places with the winter team,
**[09:48] Kanae**
but there's no one swapping in this time,
**[09:51] Kanae**
so it's just a farewell party
for the departing summer team.
**[09:54] Kanae**
Well, Captain?
**[10:00] Gin**
You've done an excellent job, everyone.
**[10:02] Gin**
This morning, the weather is nice.
It's an excellent morning for a departure.
**[10:08] Gin**
In particular, I'd like to talk about
**[10:11] Gin**
Japan's first high school-aged
Antarctic research team members.
**[10:15] Gin**
This was a major experiment.
**[10:18] Gin**
I'm sure they were all nervous.
**[10:20] Gin**
We were all very, very nervous, too.
**[10:25] Gin**
But they did an excellent
job as expedition members.
**[10:30] Gin**
The male team members' internal wishing
**[10:32] Gin**
for them to stay has been
so loud, it's audible.
**[10:37] Gin**
But they are going home.
**[10:41] Gin**
It's time to give up on them.
**[10:46] Gin**
Lastly...
**[10:51] Gin**
Thank you for everything.
**[10:53] Gin**
Even after you go home, I hope
you'll occasionally think of us,
**[10:58] Gin**
here in the darkness, far over the horizon,
silently lasting through the winter.
**[11:05] Gin**
Let's meet again here some day.
**[11:16] Kanae**
Now, as a representative of the summer team,
**[11:19] Kanae**
Kobuchizawa Shirase-san.
**[11:21] Shirase**
Yes ma'am.
**[11:27] Shirase**
Everyone.
**[11:29] Shirase**
Good morning.
**[11:33] Shirase**
As you all know,
**[11:35] Shirase**
my mother was a member of
your Antarctic expedition.
**[11:39] Shirase**
She loved Antarctica, and left
our house in her obsession.
**[11:45] Shirase**
When I looked at her,
**[11:46] Shirase**
to be honest, it was hard for me to have
positive feelings about Antarctica.
**[11:50] Shirase**
I think wanting to change that
feeling was the reason I came here.
**[11:59] Shirase**
A place further than the universe.
**[12:02] Shirase**
Mom... rather, my mother called it that.
**[12:09] Shirase**
It's a place that strips everything bare.
**[12:13] Shirase**
Time, life, hearts...
**[12:17] Shirase**
It's a place with nothing to
protect you and nowhere to hide.
**[12:22] Shirase**
It's an environment that exposes
everything we're embarrassed about,
**[12:26] Shirase**
and everything we want to hide,
**[12:29] Shirase**
and so naked and crying, we're forced to
come face-to-face with who we really are.
**[12:34] Shirase**
We've overcome trial after trial together.
**[12:39] Shirase**
And from that, I think I now understand...
**[12:42] Shirase**
the reason my mother loved this place was
not just this scenery, this sky, this wind,
**[12:48] Shirase**
but also the time she spent here,
overcoming things with her team.
**[12:56] Shirase**
She loved this atmosphere,
**[12:58] Shirase**
where you have no choice but to
overcome things with your team,
**[13:00] Shirase**
with nothing else to get in the way.
**[13:04] Shirase**
I love this place.
**[13:06] Shirase**
Good luck over the winter.
**[13:09] Shirase**
I'll be back again, I swear.
**[13:26] Kanae**
Are you crying?
**[13:44] Yumiko**
Here.
**[13:46] Kimari**
You made these for us?
**[13:48] Yumiko**
With leftovers, of course.
**[13:50] Nobue**
Um...
**[13:52] Hinata**
Wow, thanks...
**[13:54] Nobue**
Could you take this back to Yu-kun?
He's waiting in Japan?
**[13:59] Hinata**
What?
**[14:00] Honami**
Don't go!
**[14:02] Shirase**
You smell of alcohol...
**[14:03] Honami**
Of course I do! I've been drinking!
**[14:06] Yume**
Don't worry. Have this.
**[14:10] Yuzuki**
Shirase-san, thank her! Thank her!
**[14:12] Toshio**
Just go already!

So that's your signature, Yuzuki-chan?
**[14:20] Shirase**
Looks like an idol's.
**[14:21] Hinata**
How many of these did you sell?
**[14:23] Yuzuki**
Would you please cease your babbling?
**[14:25] Yuzuki**
Here.
**[14:30] Dai**
Um...
**[14:31] Yuzuki**
Yes?
**[14:32] Dai**
I'm looking forward to your drama.
**[14:35] Dai**
Though I won't get to see
it until I get back...
**[14:38] Yuzuki**
Okay...
**[14:44] Toshio**
How'd it go?
**[14:44] Yuzuki**
There really are people
looking forward to it...
**[14:48] Hinata**
Of course there are!
**[14:49] Kimari**
You'd better work hard!
**[14:53] Yuzuki**
Okay!
**[15:00] Kanae**
It's time to go!
**[15:02] All**
Okay!
**[15:05] Kanae**
Take care.
**[15:06] All**
Thank you!
**[15:08] Kanae**
Actually, I should be thanking you...
**[15:10] Kanae**
Do you remember what we talked
about in the van that first day?
**[15:15] Kanae**
Talking with you then really
gave me a lot of courage.
**[15:20] Kanae**
When I saw your faces, I realized I
couldn't let our plans be canceled.
**[15:24] Yuzuki**
You were thinking they might?
**[15:26] Kanae**
Yes.
**[15:27] Kanae**
For adults, there's a moment
when you shouldn't be honest.
**[15:34] Shirase**
Take care of the captain.
**[15:37] Kanae**
You heard her.
**[15:38] Gin**
Well, listen to you.
**[15:41] Kanae**
Go on, get in!
**[15:42] All**
Okay!
**[15:44] Shirase**
And take this.
**[15:49] Shirase**
I think my mother would be mad if you
didn't let her stay for the winter.
**[15:54] Gin**
But...
**[15:55] Shirase**
I don't need it anymore.
**[16:04] Gin**
Understood.
**[16:08] Hinata**
Let's go.
**[16:43] Honami**
They're gone.
**[16:47] Toshio**
The average age here just jumped.
**[16:49] Toshio**
Ouch!
**[16:50] Yumiko**
Well, we've got a lot of time ahead of us!

When we first came here,
it seemed so far away...
**[17:24] Hinata**
Well, that's what a journey is.
**[17:27] Yuzuki**
It's not over yet.
**[17:29] Yuzuki**
There's still the 60 degrees,
the 50 degrees, the 40 degrees...
**[17:32] Kimari**
Screaming!
**[17:33] Yuzuki**
I'll probably throw up again.
**[17:35] Kimari**
It's okay.
**[17:36] Kimari**
Barfing and barfing,
thinking "I'm so sick, I'm gonna die..."
**[17:41] Hinata**
That's fine. That's part of the journey, too.
**[17:46] Yuzuki**
Do you think we've gotten a little stronger?
**[17:50] Shirase**
Or maybe we've gotten sloppier...
**[17:52] Hinata**
It's because everything is bigger here.
**[18:00] Yuzuki**
Is this what we're wearing?
**[18:01] Kimari**
It's the last one!
We need to make it special!
**[18:04] Shirase**
Let's see... This will be my final
catchy, witty, sensational report...
**[18:09] Yuzuki**
Maybe you should put down the script?
**[18:11] Hinata**
Okay, let's go!
**[18:13] Shirase**
Wait! It's the last one!
I need a little more time!
**[18:27] Kimari**
The aurora!
**[18:31] Yuzuki**
You're right!
**[18:33] Hinata**
Oh, no! I can't get it to show up!
**[18:35] Kimari**
It's okay.
**[18:37] Kimari**
If that happens once in a while.

Hey.
**[21:21] Kimari**
Let's say goodbye here.
**[21:24] Shirase**
Kimari...
**[21:25] Yuzuki**
Does that mean we won't
be together anymore?
**[21:29] Kimari**
The opposite. It means that even when
we're not together, we can be together.
**[21:33] Kimari**
After all... we're still who we are.
**[21:37] Yuzuki**
Who's that a quote from? Hinata-san?
**[21:40] Hinata**
It's not bad, though.
**[21:42] Kimari**
Right?
**[21:43] Shirase**
We still have a lot we have to do, right?
**[21:46] Kimari**
Yeah. When we're done doing that,
let's go on another journey.
**[21:50] Kimari**
The four of us.
**[21:52] Kimari**
The four of us, yes.
**[21:53] Kimari**
Well, Shirase still has her million yen.
I've got my savings, too...
**[21:57] Shirase**
That's gone now.
**[21:59] Shirase**
I left it there.
