    There, they'll resupply and bring

[00:15] shia
    Then as December begins, they'll set

    The moment I saw that smile,
[01:21] kim
    I felt a shiver run through my heart.
[01:23] kim
    "Is this what trembling with
    anticipation means?" I wondered.

    Hey, you make it sound

    I wasn't eavesdropping.

    Enough! We get it!
[10:22] miya
    That piqued my curiosity.
[10:24] miya
    Then straight after,
    Kimari came in to get a job, y'know?
[10:27] miya
    And I got to thinking, it's gotta be destiny!
[10:30] shira
    Just to be clear, this isn't a game.
[10:32] miya
    I know that!
[10:33] shira
    It's dangerous, and you
    need to pay your own way.
[10:37] shira
    We're heading out in December, so you'll
    need to take time off from school, too.
[10:40] miya
    I'm okay! It's all good!
[10:43] miya
    I've got money from my job,
    and I don't go to school.
[10:45] kima
    What, really?
[10:47] miya
    It's not that surprising, is it?
[10:49] miya
    You see them from time to time...
[10:52] miya
    Sixteen-year-olds who don't go to school.
[10:56] miya
    Don't get the wrong idea, though.
[10:58] miya
    I'm as smart as anyone.
[11:00] miya
    I got my high school certificate
[11:02] miya
    and I got an A rating
    in the recent mock exam.
[11:05] kima
    And you're still only in your second year?
[11:07] shira
    Does that mean you're going to college?
[11:09] miya
    Yep!
[11:10] miya
    My current dream is to ace
    everything and show up everyone
[11:13] miya
    who goofs off in high school and fails!
[11:18] shira
    But then how would you have
    time to go to Antarctica?
[11:21] miya
    A reasonable question,
[11:22] miya
    but I still have almost two
    years before entrance exams,
[11:25] miya
    and when I think about how I'll spend
    next year knuckling down for exams,
[11:29] miya
    it makes me want to do something
    special while I can.
[11:31] kima
    I get you! I so get you!
[11:32] kima
    If you don't do it this year,
    you'll never get another chance, right?
[11:34] miya
    Exactly!
[11:36] miya
    Ah, must my sixteenth year come and go,
[11:40] miya
    with nothing but meat buns
    and oden to show for it?

    What? Is she the irritable type?
[12:00] kima
    A tad.

    We'll put it into action this Sunday.

    Dunno!
[12:22] miya
    Seems like it'll be pretty tricky...
[12:27] kima
    Yeah, it does...
[12:28] miya
    But she knows a lot more
    about Antarctica than we do,
[12:32] miya
    so it seems to me that we might as well try.

    "If you can still turn back,
    it's not really a journey.

    But you two seemed different, somehow.

    You've got a different sort of vibe, I guess.

    No one's ever said that to me before...
[13:12] miya

    Besides, the best breasts belong to...
[15:59] shira
    No! No!
[16:00] miya
    Go! You wanna go to Antarctica, right?
[16:02] kima
    Yeah! It's not fair! You are the
    one who came up with this plan!
[16:05] shira
    No! Besides, it can't be me!
[16:08] miya
    Why can't it be you?
[16:09] kima
    Yeah!
[16:16] kana
    Shirase-chan?
[16:19] yumi
    She never gives up, does she?
[16:23] ketsu
    Who was that?
[16:24] miya
    Why did you bow to them?
[16:26] miya
    What is this, school?
    Are you an honor student?
[16:28] shira
    I told you it couldn't be me!
[16:30] kima
    Why not?
[16:31] shira
    They know me!
[16:33] shira
    So if they see me, they'll catch...
[16:35] yumi
    Ugh. There's three of them...
[16:39] shira
    Run.
[16:43] shira
    Run!
[16:45] yumi
    Hey, you!
[16:51] kima
    Hinata-chan, you run fast!
[16:53] hina
    Over short distances, sure!
[16:55] hina
    Think we should split up for now?
[16:58] shira
    Yeah.
[16:59] shira
    Where should we meet up?
[17:01] shira
    Coordinate with cell phones!
[17:02] hina
    All right!
SIGN    Secret Path of Memories
[17:11] kima
    They're still chasing us!
[17:13] shira
    They're part of the expedition team,
    so they've got tons of stamina!
[17:17] kima
    Should we split up, too?
[17:21] shira
    Sorry!
[17:22] kima
    Okay!
[17:24] ---
    
[17:29] shira
    What's so funny?
[17:31] kima
    I was just thinking... this is pretty fun.
[17:34] shira
    Fun?
[17:35] kima
    Yeah. It's like... motion!
[17:41] kima
    I feel like my youth is in motion!
[17:48] kima
    Yeah... this is what it is.
[17:54] kima
    Like anything could happen.
[17:58] kima
    Like I could make anything happen!
[18:03] kima
    The scenery that surrounds me every
    day is changing at a dizzying rate.
[18:12] kima
    Drinking outside really is the best!
[18:14] kima
    Isn't it great?
[18:16] kima
    Let's go drinking over there today.
[18:19] kima
    Bye-bye!
SIGN    Cafe Room
[18:58] kana
    You didn't have to exhaust
    yourselves running away.
[19:02] sign
    It's not like we were trying to kill you.
[19:05] sign
    Though she actually might.
[19:06] yumi
    Kanae.
[19:07] kima
    But... Shirase-chan said...
[19:09] hina
    Yeah, she said you'd have
    our heads if you caught us.
[19:12] shira
    I never said that!
[19:14] yumi
    This is quite a plan you
    came up with, though...
[19:17] kana
    In other words, get a male
    expedition member on your side
[19:20] kana
    so he'll smuggle you on board, right?
[19:23] kana
    You naughty girls.
[19:24] kana
    Whose idea was this?
[19:28] kana
    Yeah, that figures.
[19:30] kana
    Look, Shirase-chan.
[19:32] kana
    I've told you many times before:
    we can't take you with us.
[19:36] kana
    It may be a civilian expedition,
    but there are strict requirements for—
[19:39] shira
    I know that!
[19:41] shira
    I know I'm being unreasonable!
[19:44] shira
    But... I really want to go.
[19:47] shira
    Because... my mother is waiting there.
[19:54] kima
    Shirase-chan?
[19:56] kana
    What is this?
[19:58] shira
    It's just what it looks like.
[20:00] shira
    You're having trouble with funding, right?
[20:03] shira
    Let me become one of your sponsors!
[20:06] shira
    If you take me along,
    you can have the money!
[20:14] yumi
    She really thought this through, huh?
[20:17] kana
    Fine.
[20:18] kana
    Come to Fremantle on December 1st.
[20:22] shira
    Really?
[20:22] kana
    Is that what you expected to hear?
[20:25] kana
    You don't have to worry
    about us. We're going,
[20:30] kana
    no matter what.
[20:35] (Flashback) vo
    Takako! Takako!
[20:39] (Flashback) vo
    Takako! Takako!
[20:42] (Flashback) vo
    Takako! Takako!
[20:49] yumi
    Well, I do understand how she feels.
[20:53] yumi
    It's been three years.
[20:58] yumi
    Are we really okay for funding, though?
[21:01] kana
    I told you before, didn't I?
[21:03] kana
    It might be tough, but I have lots of ideas.
[21:11] yumi
    Shiraishi-san...
[21:13] kana
    Yeah. And here's step one!
[21:26] kima
    Your mother, huh?
[21:31] miya
    Well, don't get too down.
[21:33] miya
    It's not necessarily ove—
[21:35] shira
    We're almost there if I'd had a little
    more money she would have taken it
[21:37] shira
    so I just need a little more and
    she'll definitely accept it...
[21:40] miya
    A glass-half-full type, huh?
[21:42] kima
    I guess.
[21:44] miya
    Well, you'd have to be, to get this done.
[21:47] kima
    Yeah.
[21:48] miya
    However!
[21:52] miya
    I am introducing an emergency motion!
[21:53] miya
    I request a dismissal of
    Kobuchizawa Shirase as group leader!
[21:56] miya
    All in favor?
[21:57] kima
    Me!
[21:57] kima
    Majority rules!
[21:59] kima
    Thus, you are hereby dismissed as leader!
[22:03] miya
    Now, let's go to Antarctica!
[22:06] all
    Yeah!
[22:09] shira
    Huh?!
