[00:20] Mira
When I was a young child,
I went on the town camping trip
[00:23] Mira
and met a certain boy.
[00:28] (Flashback) Mira
Hey!
[00:32] (Flashback) Mira
What are you doing out here?
[00:35] (Flashback) Ao
What am I doing?
[00:36] (Flashback) Ao
Letting my anger cool off.
[00:41] Mira
Hey, Ao, do you remember
[00:43] Mira
the day we first met?
[00:46] Ao
Of course. I'll never
forget that summer night.
[00:50] (Flashback) Mira
Thanks.
[00:52] (Flashback) Ao
Look, over there.
[00:56] (Flashback) Mira
Oh! The dot!
[00:57] (Flashback) Ao
Dot...
[00:59] (Flashback) Ao
Well, yeah.
[01:01] (Flashback) Ao
You can't see it with binoculars,
[01:03] (Flashback) ---
but Jupiter has stripes
and thin rings around it.
[01:06] (Flashback) Ao
It also has about 70 moons.
[01:09] (Flashback) Mira
You know a lot!
[01:11] (Flashback) Mira
Hey, what's your name?
[01:14] (Flashback) Ao
Ao.
[01:15] (Flashback) Mira
I'm Mira!
[01:17] (Flashback) Ao
The variable star!
[01:18] (Flashback) Mira
Terrible start?
[01:19] (Flashback) Ao
No, not that.
SIGN In the evening, the long-period variable star Mira of the Cetus constellation in the southwest sky will reach peak magnitude.
[01:22] (Flashback) Ao
The variable star Mira.
[01:23] (Flashback) Ao
It's a star in the Cetus constellation that's
unusual because its brightness varies.
[01:27] (Flashback) Mira
Wow! I have the same name as a star?
[01:31] (Flashback) Mira
What about you, Ao?
[01:32] (Flashback) Mira
Is there a star with your name?
[01:34] (Flashback) Ao
There's no star with a weird name like that.
[01:37] (Flashback) Mira
It's not weird! It's cool!
[01:39] (Flashback) Ao
Huh?
[01:40] (Flashback) Mira
Besides, if there isn't one,
why not name one after you?
[01:44] (Flashback) Ao
Name one?
[01:46] (Flashback) Ao
An asteroid, maybe...
[01:48] (Flashback) Ao
If I discover one of those,
I should be able to name it.
[01:51] (Flashback) Mira
Let's find one, then!
[01:53] (Flashback) Ao
Huh?
[01:54] (Flashback) Mira
Let's discover the star Ao!
[01:59] Mira
That was the last time I saw that boy...
[02:07] Mira
And now I'm in high school.
[02:10] ---
Starting today, I'm a high schooler!
[02:13] Mira
And the one thing I wanted to do
after starting high school is...
[02:16] (Flashback) Mira
...gone!
SIGN Club Listings
SIGN Congratulations on Starting School
[02:18] (Flashback) Suzu
Huh? What's wrong, Mira?
[02:21] (Flashback) Mira
Suzu-chan!
[02:22] (Flashback) Mira
The astronomy club that was
here until last year is gone!
[02:24] (Flashback) Mira
I was totally set on joining
it in high school! Why?!
[02:30] (Flashback) Endou
Yeah, about that...
[02:33] (Flashback) Suzu
Oh, uh...
[02:34] (Flashback) Suzu
Endou-sensei.
[02:36] (Flashback) Endou
Starting this year, the astronomy
club and the geology club have been
[02:39] (Flashback) ---
merged into the earth sciences club.
[02:41] (Flashback) Both
Earth sciences club?
[02:47] (Flashback) Endou
Hey, I've brought some
girls here to observe you.
SIGN Earth
SIGN Man
SIGN Heaven
[02:55] (Flashback) Monroe
Sorry.
[02:56] (Flashback) Monroe
We haven't really adjusted to the merger yet.
[03:00] (Flashback) Monroe
I'm the club president, Morino.
[03:02] (Flashback) Monroe
I used to be in the astronomy club.
[03:04] (Flashback) Sakura
I'm the vice president, Sakurai.
[03:06] (Flashback) Sakura
I used to be in the geology club.
[03:08] (Flashback) Ino
Oh, I'm Inose, a second-year on the geology side.
[03:13] (Flashback) Ao
I'm Manaka, a first-year.
I was hoping for the astronomy club.
[03:17] (Flashback) Mira
There are other new students here!
I was hoping for the astronomy club, too!
[03:22] (Flashback) Ao
You like stars?
[03:24] (Flashback) Mira
I do!
[03:25] (Flashback) Mira
And there's something I want to do!
[03:28] (Flashback) Mira
I want to discover an asteroid!
[03:31] (Flashback) Monroe
Oh? That's an awfully big goal.
[03:34] (Flashback) Suzu
Is that hard to do?
[03:37] (Flashback) Monroe
There is a record of a high schooler
discovering one in the past, but...
[03:41] (Flashback) Sakura
It's practically impossible
for a tiny club like ours.
[03:44] (Flashback) Ino
You're being too harsh, Vice President!
[03:47] (Flashback) Mira
Yes...
[03:49] (Flashback) Mira
But I made a promise.
[03:51] (Flashback) Mira
With a boy, a long time ago.
[03:53] (Flashback) Suzu
What?!
[03:54] (Flashback) Suzu
I never heard about this, Mira!
[03:56] (Flashback) Mira
Well, if I told you about it,
you'd dig into who he was, right?
[04:00] (Flashback) Suzu
Yes! I'd string him up! Gimme his name!
[04:03] (Flashback) Mira
Ao.
[04:04] (Flashback) Mira
We promised to discover an
asteroid together and name it Ao.
[04:10] (Flashback) Mira
I never saw him again after that, though.
[04:13] (Flashback) Monroe
Oh, dear. Could that possibly be...
[04:17] (Flashback) Sakura
I think it might...
[04:19] (Flashback) Sakura
You're bright red, Manaka.
[04:22] (Flashback) Sakura
Manaka Ao.
[04:24] (Flashback) Mira
What?!
[04:27] (Flashback) Mira
Ao? The Ao? You're a girl?!
[04:31] Ao
My name's kind of boyish,
and my hair was short...
[04:31] Mira
I was really happy to see you then, Ao.
[04:35] Ao
Same here.
[04:36] Mira
If not for you, I don't think I would've
joined the earth sciences club.
[04:36] Mira
Y-Y-You remember me?!
[04:39] Ao
Of course!
[04:40] Ao
I've wanted to discover an
asteroid ever since that day.
[04:41] Mira
And then I wouldn't have gotten
to know the others, either!
[04:44] Ao
And this...
[04:46] Mira
I don't want that!
[04:46] Mira
A whale mascot?
[04:48] Mira
So you wouldn't forget my name?
[04:48] Ao
I wouldn't, either.
[04:50] Mira
Hey, Ao, there's something I want to do.
[04:54] Sakura
Well, well.
[04:54] Ao
What?
[04:55] Mira
I want to make a special issue
of our club newsletter, Sparkle.
[04:56] Monroe
Sounds like things are getting fun.
[05:00] Ao
A special issue of Sparkle?
SIGN 6.5 Recap: Sparkle's Special Issue
[05:07] Mira
We've done all kinds of things in
the earth sciences club, huh?
[05:09] Mira
On this day, we had a barbecue
and hunted for rocks!
[05:13] Mira
The bread Suzu-chan brought from her
family's store, Suzuya Bakery, was really good!
[05:18] Ao
Yeah. We picked up a lot of stones.
[05:25] Ao
That night, we had a stargazing party.
[05:28] Ao
I was so happy I got to use a
telescope and focus it on a star.
[05:32] Mira
I'll work hard so I can do that, too!
SIGN Sparkle About the First Issue A4 Half-fold
[05:34] Monroe
So, our first printing will
be half-fold, four pages.
[05:34] Ao
This was the meeting for our
first printing of Sparkle.
[05:37] Monroe
Each of us will have one column to write.
[05:38] Mira
I asked my sister for advice,
but I just couldn't write anything well.
[05:41] Mira
You're saying so many
things I don't understand!
[05:44] Misa
Mira!
[05:48] Mira
Thanks to you, I got the
idea of drawing a manga
[05:49] ---
That would hurt! I'd regret it!
[05:50] Ao
I don't think that'll be a problem.
[05:52] Ao
They'd have to be pretty hardcore.
[05:52] ---
and wrote a great article.
[05:53] Mira
Thanks!
SIGN Let's Enjoy Spring's Constellations
SIGN Nice to meet you. I'm the astrofox, Condorde.
SIGN I'm your space guide, Kururu! Nice to meet you.
SIGN I see you're fine without a space suit. Are you an alien?
SIGN Oh, no, not so much... Wait!
[05:54] (Flashback) Monroe
There might be less information
[05:55] Ao
Your article was cute.
SIGN I don't want to hear
that from a talking fox!
SIGN Setting that aside, let's introduce
the spring constellations this time!
SIGN First, there's the spring triangle! When you follow the handle
of the Big Dipper, you can
find Arcturus in Boötes,
and Spica in Virgo!
SIGN If you follow west from there,
you find Leo. You'll recognize
it by the head that looks like
an upside-down question mark.
The light blue first magnitude star
at its heart, Regulus, is very pretty!
SIGN Nights are gentler this time
of year, too, so it's easier
to go look at the stars. You
should all give it a try, too!
SIGN See you again~!
[05:56] (Flashback) Monroe
than text would provide...
[05:57] Ao
Sakura-senpai went with birthstones,
SIGN Birthstones
How to Enjoy Natural Rocks
[05:59] Ino
Birthstones!
[06:00] Ao
and Ino-senpai wrote about
the rocks we collected.
[06:01] Ino
I'm planning to write about the
rocks we collected at the riverside.
[06:04] Mira
Monroe-senpai used lots of photos
to describe what we'd done.
[06:07] Monroe
Now all that's left is the layout.
SIGN Newsletter

SIGN Hoshizaki High School Earth Sciences Club
SIGN Nice to meet you! We're the earth sciences club!
SIGN Club Activities (April - June) From Barbecue to...?
[06:13] (Flashback) Mira
There's an elegance to viewing
the moon from a bath!
[06:15] Ao
Hey, Mira, what were you saying
about a special issue of Sparkle?
[06:21] Mira
Oh, well...
[06:23] Mira
Ah, it's the study session for our make-up tests!
[06:26] Ao
It was tough, but I had fun
studying with you and Suzu-san.
[06:31] Mira
Yeah!
[06:32] (Flashback) Mira
Penniless Squad Broke Rangers!
[06:35] (Flashback) Mira
Sure.
[06:36] (Flashback) Ao
It's pleasure to work with you.
[06:38] Mira
Then we worked at Suzuya Bakery!
[06:40] Suzu
Thank you for always coming by.
[06:41] Ao
Those uniforms really were
a little embarrassing.
[06:42] Megu
Have a sample.
[06:44] Ao
B-Be careful.
[06:45] Mira
Suzu-chan was super happy.
[06:46] Child
Wow!
[06:47] Mira
She took lots of photos.
[06:48] Suzu
I got to take lots of photos,
so I added extra as your modeling fee.
[06:50] Ao
I'm used to it now, so it's fine.
[06:54] Megu
I-I'm sorry! I'm sorry about my sister!
[06:58] Mira
Then there was the time we happened to run
into Ino-senpai and Suzu-chan in town!
[07:03] (Flashback) Ao
Mira, look.
[07:07] (Flashback) Mira
Ino-senpai and... Suzu-chan?
[07:10] (Flashback) Mira
When did those two get so close?
[07:14] (Flashback) Mira
Let's follow them for a bit!
[07:16] (Flashback) Ao
Huh? Uh, okay...
[07:18] (Flashback) Ao
I'm sorry we followed you.
[07:20] (Flashback) Mira
We got caught nao.
[07:22] (Flashback) Suzu
Enough of the "nao" stuff already.
[07:24] (Flashback) Ino
Mira-chan, Ao-san, good afternoon.
[07:27] (Flashback) Mira
What were you doing in a place like this?
[07:30] (Flashback) Ino
I wanted to come see the enclave today,
so I asked Suzu-san to accompany me.
[07:35] (Flashback) Mira
Enclave?
[07:36] (Flashback) Ino
Yes! It's a part of a territory that lies
within another territory, like this.
[07:41] (Flashback) Mira
Huh. Is that interesting?
[07:44] (Flashback) Ino
Yes, it is!
[07:46] (Flashback) Ino
I've always loved maps, so every
now and then, I go exploring like this.
[07:50] (Flashback) Mira
That sounds fun.
[07:52] (Flashback) Mira
Were maps something the
geology group studied, too?
[07:55] (Flashback) Ino
They're probably considered
a slightly different field,
[07:57] (Flashback) Ino
but they're pretty closely related.
[08:00] (Flashback) Ino
Last year, I found a cute map
in front the geology club room.
[08:04] (Flashback) Sakura
Colorful and pretty, isn't it?
[08:07] (Flashback) Sakura
It's a geological map.
[08:10] (Flashback) Ino
It was a meeting with destiny.
[08:13] (Flashback) Ino
Senpai, um...
[08:16] Sakura
Hmm?
[08:17] (Flashback) Ino
I ended up agreeing to draw a treasure
map for Mira-chan and the others,
[08:22] (Flashback) Ino
but I was wondering what kind
of map they might enjoy.
[08:26] (Flashback) Sakura
I see. You're sharing your fun with them.
[08:30] Ino
Sharing my fun?
[08:32] Sakura
Whatever you find fun is the treasure.
[08:35] Sakura
If you draw a map to that,
I'm sure those girls will love it.
[08:42] (Flashback) Ino
Okay!
SIGN Class 1-1
[08:46] (Flashback) Ino
Mira-chan, sorry to make you wait for it.
[08:49] (Flashback) Ino
Here you go.
[08:50] (Flashback) Mira
Wow! Thank you so much!
[08:53] (Flashback) Suzu
I wonder what Ino-senpai's
treasure is. I can't wait!
[08:58] (Flashback) Ino
Please try to find it together after school.
[09:01] (Flashback) Both
Okay!
[09:02] Mira
Treasure hunting was fun!
[09:05] Mira
We should have Ino-senpai draw
us another map sometime.
[09:07] Ao
Yeah.
[09:07] Mira
Now, after Ino-senpai's treasure!
[09:09] Ao
Oh, Mira, you were just
about to say something.
[09:10] All
Let's go!
[09:12] Mira
Oh, about the special issue of Sparkle?
[09:12] Mira
Let's see... First we go through this passage
and head toward the special classroom wing.
[09:15] Ao
Yeah.
[09:16] Mira
I want to organize the earth sciences club's
past and future activities into it.
[09:19] Mira
The anatomical model here is scary, so run!
SIGN Earth Sciences Lab
[09:23] Ao
I think that's a great idea, but why?
[09:23] Mira
The final landmark is...
"The back of a cute map."
[09:26] Mira
Sparkle always has photos that
Monroe-senpai took in it, right?
[09:27] Mira
This one!
[09:28] Ao
It really is colorful and cute.
[09:30] Ao
Monroe-senpai's good at taking photos.
[09:32] Mira
Oh, there's something on the back.
[09:33] ---
Yeah.
[09:34] Mira
But there are very few photos of
Monroe-senpai, since she's taking them.
[09:35] Mira
A letter and... the photo from yesterday!
[09:38] Ao
That's true.
[09:38] Mira
Ino-senpai!
[09:39] Mira
So I want to take some photos
with everyone in them
[09:41] Mira
We found the treasure!
[09:43] ---
and leave a record of our earth sciences club.
[09:44] Ao
It was fun hunting for treasure.
[09:46] Ao
That sounds great.
[09:46] Suzu
Please draw another map again sometime!
[09:47] Mira
Suzu-chan should be willing to help us, too!
[09:48] Endou
You haven't decided on
where to go yet, right?
[09:49] Ao
Yeah, it'll be a good
special issue of Sparkle.
[09:50] Endou
I have a nice idea of my own.
[09:52] Ao
Let's look at our summer camp next.
[09:52] Monroe
A nice idea?
[09:54] Mira
We can't leave out the summer camp!
[10:01] (Flashback) All
We're here!
[10:03] Ao
This was the earth sciences
club's summer camp.
[10:05] Mira
We went to the Geological Museum and JAXA!
SIGN Requesting information!
SIGN We're looking for asteroids
[10:09] (Flashback) Mira
Hello!
[10:10] (Flashback) Mira
We're Hoshizaki High School's
earth sciences club!
[10:13] Ao
Even our senpai were excited about this trip.
[10:13] Mira
A rocket!
[10:15] Endou
What you saw yesterday was a model,
[10:15] Mira
It's a place they'd been dying to visit!
[10:17] ---
but this is a real rocket, even on the inside.
[10:20] Mira
A real one?!
[10:21] Mira
I want to touch it!
[10:23] (Flashback) Sakura
Hey, Monroe, your astronomy
group is getting carried away.
[10:27] (Flashback) Sakura
As our president, you need to watch... them...
[10:31] (Flashback) Monroe
I can't reach it!
[10:33] (Flashback) Mira
Space is so far away!
[10:36] (Flashback) Guide
Now I'll show you all to
the astronaut training wing.
[10:40] Guide
Normally, only staff are
allowed into this area,
[10:41] (Flashback) Ino
Monroe-senpai's looking
more serious than usual.
[10:43] ---
so please attach the passes
I gave you somewhere visible.
[10:44] (Flashback) Sakura
Well, I'm sure she has a lot of
thoughts running through her mind.
[10:48] (Flashback) Sakura
She's always wanted to come here.
[10:50] (Flashback) Ino
She has?
[10:52] (Flashback) Guide
On the other side of this window is
the closed-environment training facility.
[10:56] (Flashback) Guide
The previous exams narrowed our
963 applicants down to the ten
[11:01] (Flashback) ---
who are taking their tests in here.
[11:03] (Flashback) Sakura
Um, what does it take
to become an astronaut?
[11:08] (Flashback) Guide
Well, first, you have to be healthy,
[11:11] (Flashback) Guide
and also proficient in English.
[11:13] (Flashback) Guide
And above all else,
you need to be cooperative.
[11:16] (Flashback) Guide
That's said to be the most important part.
[11:19] (Flashback) Sakura
Thank you.
[11:20] (Flashback) Guide
No problem.
[11:21] Guide
Over here we place astronauts in low
pressure environments to measure how
[11:22] (Flashback) Sakura
You heard her.

[11:25] (Flashback) Monroe
Thank you very much.
[11:25] ---
low oxygen supply will affect their bodies
and conduct other training regimes.
[11:27] (Flashback) Sakura
You'll need to work more
on your pronunciation.
[11:31] (Flashback) Commentator
You want to discover an asteroid?
[11:34] (Flashback) Ao
D-Do you have any hints for us?
[11:36] (Flashback) Commentator
Any hints, eh?
[11:38] (Flashback) Sakura
Or do you know anyone who might
be an expert in that field?
[11:43] (Flashback) Sakura
Well, this center is focused
on space development,
[11:48] (Flashback) ---
so while we have some exhibits
on the discovery of asteroids,
[11:51] (Flashback) ---
we don't know much about discovering
new astronomical objects.
[11:54] (Flashback) Sakura
There might be a specialist in one of our other
centers elsewhere in the country, but...
[11:58] (Flashback) Sakura
I see.
[12:00] (Flashback) Sakura
Thank you.
[12:01] (Flashback) Ao
Thank you.
[12:02] (Flashback) Commentator
Not at all.
[12:03] (Flashback) Mira
Thank you very much!
[12:05] (Flashback) Ao
I couldn't find any clues.
[12:08] (Flashback) Mira
Ao...
[12:09] (Flashback) Mira
Me, neither. But I learned a lot today,
and I did find out some things.
[12:14] (Flashback) Mira
For example,
[12:15] (Flashback) Mira
if we try each of the centers throughout Japan,
we'll eventually meet an expert on it!
[12:22] Grandma
Oh, right. Here's what you
asked us to look for, Yuki.
[12:22] Mira
That night, we got an amazing tip at
Endou-sensei's grandparents' house!
[12:26] Endou
Oh, you found it? Thanks.
[12:29] (Flashback) Mira
An old flyer?

object discovery program?

SIGN Recruiting Now
[12:36] (Flashback) Mira
Huh? What is this?!
[12:37] (Flashback) Endou
It's the Shining Star Challenge program held
at the observatory during summer break.
[12:43] (Flashback) Endou
I participated in it myself back in the day.
[12:46] (Flashback) Endou
I couldn't find anything, though.
[12:48] (Flashback) Mira
Wh-Wh-Why would you keep such
incredible information a secret?!
[12:53] (Flashback) Endou
Well, because I didn't know about your dream.

Oh, the deadline for entering
this year has already passed.
[13:01] Mira
If only we had known about this sooner!
[13:03] (Flashback) Sakura
It's held on Ishigaki Island.
[13:04] Endou
You're mad, aren't you?!
[13:05] (Flashback) Ino
Okinawa?! That's great!
[13:09] (Flashback) Mira
Ishigaki Island...
[13:10] (Flashback) Mira
Okinawa...

Mira?
[13:15] (Flashback) Ao
The Shining Star Challenge.
[13:17] (Flashback) Ao
It's open to all high
schoolers in the nation.
[13:20] (Flashback) Ao
Seven participants are selected
based on their submitted assignment.
[13:23] (Flashback) Mira
It's hard to get in, and there's no
guarantee we'll discover one, huh?
[13:27] (Flashback) Ao
But I still feel
[13:29] (Flashback) Ao
like we're a step or two closer to our goal.
[13:32] (Flashback) Mira
Yeah.
[13:33] (Flashback) Mira
This might be a huge leap forward for us.
[13:36] (Flashback) Ao
Yeah!
[13:38] (Flashback) Ao
I never expected Endou-sensei to be someone
who hunted for new asteroids, though.
[13:43] (Flashback) Monroe
I never knew that, either.
[13:45] (Flashback) Ino
My heart's been racing all day long.
[13:48] (Flashback) Sakura
I guess this means the astronomy
group's gotten closer to their goals.
[13:53] (Flashback) Mira
Goals?
[13:55] (Flashback) Monroe
I want to become an astronaut.
[13:59] (Flashback) Mira
An astronaut?!
[14:00] (Flashback) Ao
Really?!
[14:02] (Flashback) Monroe
Yeah.
[14:02] (Flashback) Ino
So that's why you were
acting so serious today.
[14:05] (Flashback) Monroe
It's such a big dream,
it's really a bit embarrassing.
[14:10] (Flashback) Sakura
You shouldn't call it embarrassing.
[14:12] (Flashback) Sakura
Not if you're serious about pursuing it.
[14:15] (Flashback) Sakura
I still haven't found any solid
goal to pursue, so if you ask me,
[14:19] (Flashback) Sakura
you're all amazing for having one.
[14:22] (Flashback) Sakura
You shouldn't hold back
in pursuit of your dreams.
[14:27] (Flashback) Monroe
Sakura-chan, thank you.
[14:29] (Flashback) Sakura
Hmph.
[14:30] (Flashback) Mira
Uh, meaning...
[14:32] (Flashback) Ao
You're not mad at us?
[14:35] (Flashback) Sakura
Huh? I'm giving you lots of encouragement.
[14:37] Both
I-It was hard to tell...
[14:40] (Flashback) Ino
Don't hold back on your dreams...
[14:44] (Flashback) Ino
I think I might have figured
out what I want to do.
[14:49] (Flashback) Ino
The truth is, there's somewhere
I'd like to go, too!
[14:53] (Flashback) Ino
This is the headquarters of map-making,
the Geospatial Informational Authority of Japan!
[15:00] (Flashback) Endou
I didn't know Inose was into this field.
[15:04] (Flashback) Endou
I know this is a change of plans.
Are you all okay with this?
[15:07] (Flashback) Sakura
I don't mind at all.
[15:09] (Flashback) Sakura
Besides...
[15:10] (Flashback) Sakura
I don't think anyone can complain
when they see that look on her face.
[15:16] Mira
The summer camp was fun, wasn't it?
[15:18] Ao
Yeah. We got to learn
about our senpai's goals, too.
[15:22] Ao
We also got closer to our own
dream of discovering an asteroid.
[15:27] Mira
Let's do our best and aim for
the Shining Star Challenge, Ao!
[15:30] Mira
And this wasn't the end of our summer break!
[15:35] Mira
The beach is so fun!
[15:36] Mira
You, Suzu-chan, Ino-senpai,
and I went to the beach together.
[15:37] Ao
It is.
[15:38] Suzu
A best-of-three match over
who's Mira's best friend!
[15:39] Ao
And for some reason, I ended up competing
with Suzu-san over who was your best friend.
[15:42] Ao
Huh?!
[15:43] Both
Mira!
[15:45] Mira
Suzu-chan and I have been
friends since childhood.
[15:46] Mira
Sorry about that.
[15:48] Ao
I managed to get closer to Suzu-san, too.
[15:48] Mira
You girls just weren't coming,
so I started swimming.
[15:50] Mira
Ino-senpai was so excited about the strata.
[15:52] Ino
You can see the strata so clearly!
[15:53] Mira
That's a geology fan for you!
[15:58] Ao
Sakura-senpai and Monroe-senpai couldn't
come since they had summer classes.
[15:59] Mira
Oh, it's from Monroe-senpai.
[16:03] Suzu
Huh?! Why's she in a swimsuit?!
[16:03] Mira
It's tough having entrance exams.
[16:04] Suzu
And Sakura-senpai, too?!
[16:05] Suzu
Please give me those photos,
as your best friend!
[16:05] Mira
But I guess they do need
a break now and then.
[16:12] (Flashback) Mira
Oh, Sakura-senpai.
SIGN I'm going to a mineral show tomorrow. I'll send where to meet up later. Please let me know if you can make it.
[16:14] (Flashback) Mira
Mineral show?
[16:16] (Flashback) Mira
I wonder what that is. I'll totally go.
[16:20] Monroe&Text
I'm sorry, I have other plans already.
[16:22] Ino&Text
What a shame. I have plans that day, too.
[16:25] Ao&Text
I'm sorry, I do, too.
[16:27] (Flashback) Mira
Huh? No one else can come?
[16:29] (Flashback) Mira
Which means... I'll be alone with Sakura-senpai?
[16:34] (Flashback) Mira
What are you looking for here, Senpai?
[16:38] (Flashback) Sakura
I haven't settled on anything
specific, actually.
[16:42] (Flashback) Sakura
I'm mostly here for a break from my studies.
[16:46] (Flashback) Sakura
It's fun enough just walking
around and looking.
[16:49] (Flashback) Mira
Wow, so you're window shopping for stones!
[16:52] (Flashback) Sakura
Oh! It's the chisel set
I've been looking for!
[16:55] (Flashback) Sakura
I'll take this, please! And this!
Oh, and give me this too, please!
[17:01] (Flashback) Sakura
Sorry for taking up your entire day.
[17:04] (Flashback) Mira
No, I had fun!
[17:06] (Flashback) Mira
Thank you so much!
[17:08] (Flashback) Sakura
Wh-What's this?
[17:10] (Flashback) Mira
To thank you for inviting me out today.
[17:12] (Flashback) Mira
I hope we can bring everyone
else with us next time.
[17:15] (Flashback) Mira
Well, my house is this way.
[17:17] (Flashback) Sakura
Huh?
[17:17] (Flashback) Sakura
Y-Yeah, see you later.
[17:25] (Flashback) Sakura
I forgot to thank her for
coming with me, didn't I?
[17:29] Ao
I want to go to the mineral
show next time, too.
[17:33] Mira
Yeah, let's both go!
[17:33] Mira
It's still so hot.
[17:34] Mira
Then the new term started, along with
preparations for the cultural festival, but...
[17:37] Ao
L-Look.
[17:41] (Flashback) Ao
Wh-What?
[17:45] (Flashback) Ino
Ibe-chan?!
[17:47] (Flashback) Eve
Eve!
[17:48] (Flashback) Eve
I told you to call me Eve, didn't I?!
[17:51] (Flashback) Ino
She's one of my friends from class.
[17:55] (Flashback) Mira
Friends?
[17:56] (Flashback) Usami
Oh, it's Manaka-san!
[17:59] (Flashback) ---
Yoohoo!
[18:00] (Flashback) Ao
Usami-san.
[18:01] (Flashback) Mira
Someone you know?
[18:03] (Flashback) Ao
A classmate.
[18:04] (Flashback) Usami
Sorry, our Eve-chan-senpai is such a pain.
[18:09] (Flashback) Monroe
Reconnaissance?
[18:10] (Flashback) Eve
That's right!
[18:11] (Flashback) Eve
We're a secret squad within the
newspaper club that's taking
[18:15] (Flashback) ---
covert action to crush the
earth sciences club's newsletter!
[18:17] (Flashback) Monroe
So you're trying to stop the production
of the earth sciences club's newsletter?
[18:21] (Flashback) Eve
Yeah!
[18:22] (Flashback) Eve
I was just looking for any scandals
that we could use as blackmail!
[18:26] (Flashback) Monroe
I know! Why don't you help us think
of an exhibit for the cultural festival?
[18:34] (Flashback) Mira
Sakura-senpai, do you think
we could bring in some strata?
[18:40] (Flashback) Sakura
You mean a surface peel specimen?
[18:44] (Flashback) Sakura
I've never made one before,
[18:45] (Flashback) ---
and I'm not sure we have a rocky
outcropping we could use as a specimen.
[18:49] (Flashback) Monroe
How about a boring survey of the campus, then?
[18:52] (Flashback) Mira
Hmph!
[18:53] (Flashback) Sakura
I get it, but it's not "bowling."
[18:56] (Flashback) Ao
You mean "boring" as in drilling holes, right?
SIGN Boring Survey
SIGN Pop
[18:58] (Flashback) ---
Right. You drive a pipe into the
ground and bore out a sample.
[19:02] (Flashback) Eve
So if you can add an explosion
and a huge rock to that...
[19:06] (Flashback) Usami
Yes, Eve-chan-senpai. You're embarrassing yourself,
so we should be getting back now.
[19:12] (Flashback) Sakura
Boring does sound fun, though.
[19:15] (Flashback) Sakura
Let's give it some thought.
[19:25] (Flashback) Mira
That's so cool!
[19:27] (Flashback) Ino
It's a mock boring survey.
[19:29] (Flashback) Monroe
I know!
[19:30] Monroe
Why don't we serve this as a café?
SIGN Agar
SIGN Boring Agar
SIGN Strawberry Milk
SIGN Banana Milk
SIGN Milk Coffee
SIGN Agar!!
[19:33] (Flashback) Mira
A café?
[19:34] (Flashback) Ao
We could make other sweets and drinks
with earth science themes.
[19:38] (Flashback) Ino
A café where you can enjoy earth sciences
along with tea and sweets...
[19:41] (Flashback) Ino
A geocafé!
[19:43] (Flashback) Ino
That might be nice!
[19:44] (Flashback) Monroe
It's settled, then.
[19:45] (Flashback) Mira
Ao! Let's come up with some ideas for
sweets and talk to Suzu-chan about them!
[19:50] (Flashback) Ao
Yeah.
[19:51] (Flashback) Monroe
Then the geology group's exhibit
for the café will be...
[19:54] (Flashback) Ino
Actually boring into the campus?
[19:58] (Flashback) Sakura
We can't do that. It's not realistic.
[20:01] (Flashback) Sakura
We can't ask other businesses to
help with the cultural festival.
[20:07] (Flashback) Endou
Hey, Sakurai.
[20:10] (Flashback) Endou
If you're interested in it,
[20:11] (Flashback) ---
why not just organize what data
and findings you can dig up?
[20:14] (Flashback) Sakura
But without the real thing, it won't
be a centerpiece for the exhibit,
[20:19] (Flashback) Sakura
and it'll just look haphazard.
[20:21] (Flashback) Endou
And that's fine.
[20:24] (Flashback) Endou
It'd be a waste to just decide it's
impossible and completely scrap it all, right?
[20:29] (Flashback) Endou
At the very least, I want to learn what
you researched and what you thought of it.
[20:36] (Flashback) Ino
I want to know, too.
[20:38] (Flashback) All
Yeah.
[20:44] (Flashback) All
Heave-ho!
[20:47] (Flashback) All
Heave-ho!
[20:49] (Flashback) All
Heave-ho!
[20:49] (Flashback) Ino
Just a little more!
[20:51] (Flashback) All
Heave-ho!
[20:54] Mira
Then we began preparing
for the cultural festival!
[20:54] Mira
Ta-da! It's Earth!
[20:56] Ao
The geology group worked
hard on their display, too.
[20:56] Monroe
We're going to have a nice solar system.
[20:58] Mira
Thank you!
[20:59] Mira
Yeah! Then the Hoshizaki Festival began!
SIGN Hoshizaki Festival
SIGN Pegmatite Scone Milky Way Gelatin Boring Tiramisu Planet Cookies Waxing Moon Pancakes
[21:03] (Flashback) Monroe
Please order over here.
[21:06] (Flashback) Girl
What do you recommend?
[21:07] (Flashback) Monroe
You can enjoy eight different flavors
with these planet cookies.
[21:11] (Flashback) Monroe
I also recommend the Milky Way
gelatin, since it's photogenic.
[21:15] (Flashback) Sakura
Pardon me! Try some of our
geology group's sweets, too!
[21:19] (Flashback) Sakura
This tiramisu lets you try boring for yourself.
[21:22] (Flashback) Sakura
Enjoy it by sucking it through the straw.
[21:25] (Flashback) Monroe
This is our handmade model.
[21:27] (Flashback) Monroe
The sizes and distances
involved in the solar system
[21:31] (Flashback) ---
would make it bigger than the classroom,
so it's a bit distorted.
[21:34] (Flashback) Girl
Are those lines shooting stars?
[21:36] (Flashback) Ao
One is the habitable zone,
and the other is the asteroid belt.
[21:40] (Flashback) Girl
Then is that fluffy thing a cloud?
[21:43] (Flashback) Ao
It's the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt.
[21:51] (Flashback) Mira
Whee! You're on a journey through space!
[21:53] (Flashback) Girl
Wow! Yay!
[21:55] (Flashback) Mira
Go, go, go!
[21:58] (Flashback) Mira
So fast!
[22:00] (Flashback) Mira
I-It's over.
[22:03] (Flashback) Ao
I'm worn out from talking to so many people.
[22:05] (Flashback) Monroe
This has been the funnest cultural
festival ever, thanks to all of you.
[22:09] (Flashback) Monroe
Right, Sakura-chan?
[22:11] (Flashback) Sakura
Yeah.
[22:13] (Flashback) Sakura
Good work, everyone.
[22:15] (Flashback) Mira
Sakura-senpai's being up-front.
[22:17] (Flashback) Ao
It's an omen of natural disaster.
[22:19] (Flashback) Sakura
You two should accept it up-front, too.
[22:21] (Flashback) Sakura
I'm expressing gratitude.
[22:23] (Flashback) Sakura
Oh, right.
[22:24] (Flashback) Sakura
President, you had something
important to discuss, right?
[22:27] (Flashback) Monroe
That's right. Everyone, listen up.
[22:30] (Flashback) Mira
What is it?
[22:32] (Flashback) Monroe
As of today, we're both...
[22:35] (Flashback) Both
...stepping down as president
and vice president.
[22:39] (Flashback) Three
Huh?
[22:42] (Flashback) Mira
S-Stepping down?! You're quitting
the earth sciences club?!
[22:46] (Flashback) Sakura
No, we're stepping down from our roles.
[22:49] (Flashback) Sakura
We'll still be part of the
club until we graduate.
[22:51] (Flashback) Monroe
So, with that, I'd like to ask you
to be the next president, Ino-chan.
[23:00] (Flashback) Sakura
We're counting on you, Ino!
[23:04] (Flashback) Ino
Huh?
[23:05] (Flashback) Ino
What?!
[23:13] Mira
The special issue of Sparkle ends with
[23:16] ---
Monroe-senpai and Sakura-senpai's
surprising retirement!
[23:19] Ao
I never even imagined it.
[23:22] Mira
Let's do what we can to make the earth
sciences club fun with Ino-senpai!
[23:26] Ao
We have to apply for the
Shining Star Challenge, too.
[23:29] Mira
That's right!
[23:30] Mira
We're going to discover an asteroid together.
[23:33] Ao
Yeah. Let's realize our dream together.
SIGN 07. The Starry Sky Is a Time Machine
[23:40] Mira
Next time, "The Starry Sky Is a Time Machine."
