[00:03] Ritsu     μ hasn't been seen since. [00:05] Ritsu     Either the Musicians are     quietly watching over things, [00:08] Ritsu     or they're not making any obvious moves. [00:10] Ritsu     Meanwhile, our Go-Home Club... [00:13] Mifue     Oh, welcome back! [00:15] Suzuna     Sorry, it'll be ready in just a moment. [00:19] Kotaro     Ah, it'll fall apart! [00:21] Kotaro     This is high-quality tofu, you know! [00:25] Shogo     I'm beat. [00:27] Ritsu     It's now late spring, and the music prep room     has become the Go-Home Club room, and... [00:31] Kotono     You're a high schooler, aren't you? [00:34] Shogo     This is a façade. [00:35] Ritsu     ...we've decided to share a hot pot. [02:25] Shogo     Work sure is hard. [02:28] Suzuna     You look quite tired, Sempai. [02:30] Shogo     I never knew it was this     harsh dealing with customers. [02:34] Shogo     I think I picked the wrong job. [02:35] Mifue     I can't believe you're working at     an accessory shop, Shogo-sempai. [02:39] Aria     Are you actually doing your job? [02:41] Shogo     Of course. [02:42] Shogo     I have a full grasp of the     products featured in the store, [02:45] Shogo     and I help customers find— [02:47] (Flashback) Girl     Excuse me. How much is this? [02:50] (Flashback) Shogo     Uh, huh? The price tag... [02:53] (Flashback) Shogo     Where's the price tag? [02:55] (Flashback) Shogo     Oh, here. [02:57] (Flashback) Shogo     No, that's not it. [02:59] Shogo     I handle the register smoothly, too. [03:02] (Flashback) Shogo     W-Will that be for yourself     or a present for another? [03:05] (Flashback) Girl     A present. [03:07] (Flashback) Shogo     Th-Then I'll get you our     gift bag as well. [03:11] (Flashback) Shogo     H-Huh? [03:12] (Flashback) Shogo     Where... [03:13] (Flashback) Shogo     Bag, bag... [03:17] (Flashback) Girl     Hey, you still looking?!     There's a line forming behind me! [03:21] (Flashback) Shogo     I'm sorry! [03:23] Shogo     The owner also has a lot of faith in me, [03:27] Shogo     but it's also a pain when     they ask too much of me. [03:30] Shogo     I plan to quit soon. [03:32] Shogo     So well, I've been so busy it makes me dizzy. [03:37] Aria     Is that true? [03:39] Kotono     Well, we're able to take it this easy only [03:42] ---     because the Musicians are     keeping a low profile. [03:47] Mifue     Oh, it's from Naruko-sempai. [03:49] Mifue     She says, "Shopping Squad B, now returning." [03:52] Suzuna     Is there anything extra we should ask for? [03:55] Aria     We're good. Tell them to hurry back. [04:09] Mifue     Were you able to find it? [04:11] Shogo     Oh, if you're talking about that... [04:12] Aria     Huh? [04:16] Aria     We're out of gas! And it was almost ready! [04:20] Aria     Jeez! [04:26] Kotaro     I will be the one to protect this world! [04:28] Kotaro     Let's go, Rescue Dash! [04:32] Mirei     Argh, jeez! How long is this     construction going to take?! [04:37] KagiP     The repairs are handled by NPCs,     so who knows how long it'll be? [04:43] Mirei     μ, hurry up and wake up. [04:47] Mirei     If you don't, I... [04:50] Mirei     We... [04:53] IkeP     This is all due to those Rogues. [04:55] IkeP     Damn annoyances. [04:57] SweetP     How did you get that scar?! [04:59] IkeP     I had a fight with someone I hate. [05:01] IkeP     That's all. [05:04] SweetP     IkeP... [05:06] IkeP     That bastard... [05:08] IkeP     Next time I'll get justice! [05:14] Aria     Hurry, hurry! [05:16] Aria     Everyone's waiting and looking     forward to eating the Aria hot pot! [05:19] Aria     Hurry up! [05:21] Suzuna     "Aria hot pot"? [05:22] Shogo     Why are you so worked up about this? [05:25] Aria     Listen, when everyone     gathers around a hot pot— [05:28] Izuru     Hey. [05:29] Izuru     Will this do? [05:33] Aria     Way to go, Izurucchi! [05:35] Aria     Now let's get the hot pot started! [05:37] Izuru     "Izurucchi"? [05:41] Kotaro     Rescue Arm! [05:46] Old Woman     Thank you, young man. [05:49] Kotaro     Don't worry about it! [05:50] Aria     Ta-dah! For now, the first round's done! [05:55] Aria     Here, here! Eat up! [05:57] Aria     Go on! Go on! Eat lots! [06:02] Shogo     Well, time to eat. [06:03] Three     Thanks for the food! [06:05] Shogo     Thanks for the food. [06:10] Izuru     It's good. [06:12] Suzuna     It's delicious. [06:13] Kotono     Yeah. [06:14] Suzuna     Hot pots really taste good when     you eat with your friends, huh? [06:21] Aria     Man, adding these chicken meatballs really     brings the best out of the hot pot! [06:27] Aria     Very nice, Izuru! [06:30] Mifue     Another one! [06:33] Kotono     You don't have to rush. [06:34] Kotono     There's still plenty more left. [06:37] Mifue     Lately I've just been so happy eating. [06:40] Kotono     Don't you mean you're having fun? [06:42] Mifue     Yes! [06:45] Kotaro     Ah! You're already eating! [06:48] Kotaro     You could've waited a little bit longer! [06:51] Aria     No! [06:52] Aria     This daikon isn't ready to eat yet! [06:54] Aria     Eat the shiitake—the shiitake mushrooms! [06:56] Kotaro     I-I don't need the shiitake mushrooms. [06:59] Aria     And carrots, too! [07:01] Kotaro     I don't need carrots, either. [07:03] Suzuna     You're not a child anymore. [07:05] Naruko     Though it shames me, Morita Naruko and     Mizuguchi Marie have now returned! [07:10] Marie     Pardon us. [07:12] Mifue     You're late, Naruko-sempai! [07:14] Naruko     Well, sorry about that. [07:16] Kotono     Mizuguchi-san, you should     come hang around more often. [07:19] Kotono     Or do you not like it here     when the President's out? [07:22] Marie     Huh? [07:23] Marie     That's not true. [07:25] Marie     I've just been busy lately. [07:28] Naruko     Now, then... [07:29] Naruko     Today we've brought an incredible     addition from Marie-chan! [07:37] All     Oh! [07:39] Marie     It's not that big a deal. [07:41] Marie     I just wanted to have some with everyone     when I heard we were having a hot pot. [07:45] Naruko     Don't be so modest! [07:46] Kotaro     I-It looks delicious. [07:52] ---     D-Damn... [07:59] Mifue     What should we do with this meat? [08:01] Mifue     The hot pot's full. [08:03] Aria     Kotono, secure space! [08:05] Kotono     Roger! [08:09] Kotono     Thanks, Minezawa-kun! [08:10] Aria     We're leaving it up to you! [08:17] Kotaro     The fate of the world rests on my shoulders. [08:21] Kotaro     There are more important things than meat! [08:25] Marie     I changed out the gas. [08:27] Kotono     Thanks, Mizuguchi-san. [08:33] Mifue     Hey, can we eat that meat soon? [08:36] Naruko     No! We eat after photos! [08:39] Mifue     What?! [08:40] Naruko     Do you have any idea how much buzz     that photos of expensive meat like this will get?! [08:45] Naruko     It's already getting responses! [08:48] Naruko     Oh, even more! [08:49] Naruko     Everyone really is looking at me. [08:53] Kotono     That's enough now, right? [08:54] Kotono     If it boils too long,     the meat will get tough. [08:59] Mifue     What, this is so good! [09:01] Shogo     It's a perfect accompaniment. [09:04] Naruko     Y-You idiot! [09:05] Naruko     Do you have any idea what the value of a pic     of a hot pot with expensive meat is?! [09:15] Suzuna     Kotaro-sempai... [09:17] Aria     Stop! [09:19] Aria     Now, now, just leave him alone. [09:24] Kotaro     Rescue! Oh, uh... Scoop! [09:30] Man     Thank you, Rescue Man. [09:33] Kotaro     No, this was nothing! Nothing at all! [09:36] Kotaro     Good, it's done! [09:38] Kotaro     Meat! [09:41] [SONG] Screen     I'm still open for a ton of Rescues!!     Rescue Man SIGN    Rescue Man, help!! I bought too many things from the special sale at the supermarket, and now I can't carry it all. At this rate, I'll have to make several trips home. It'd be a big help if you could help me. Mamannu [09:46] Kotaro     Let's go, Rescue Dash! [09:49] Naruko     This meat is so good. [09:53] Marie     Well, I should be leaving. [09:55] Mifue     Thank you so much for the meat! [09:57] Kotono     Come again! [10:01] Naruko     Lately, Marie-chan's been     coming to hang out often. [10:05] Naruko     Well, the President's not around today. [10:07] Shogo     Huh? Are those things related somehow? [10:10] Mifue     Marie-sempai is coming     here to see the President! [10:14] Suzuna     I think she shows shows up most     often when the President's around. [10:19] Shogo     In other words... [10:20] Naruko     Man, Sempai, you're dense! [10:25] Kotono     Well, who cares if that's her reason? [10:28] Kotono     Girls all love tales of sweet,     stimulating romance. [10:33] Kotono     After all, we're made of sugar,     spice, and everything nice. [10:44] Naruko     Oh, Rescue Man. [10:46] Naruko     Oh, he's busy, busy. [10:50] Shogo     Leaving him aside for now,     has there been any new information? [10:57] Izuru     Oh, that reminds me,     before I went shopping... [11:00] Aria     H-Hey, Suzuna, what are you doing? [11:03] Suzuna     Huh? You didn't want udon in it? [11:05] Aria     That udon was for the end! [11:08] Suzuna     Huh? But my family always     added it as a main ingredient. [11:11] Suzuna     You don't? [11:13] Aria     The final... Aria udon... [11:16] Kotaro     Any meat still left— [11:18] Kotaro     You're at the end already?! [11:19] Kotaro     Damn! [11:20] Kotaro     Oh, Kotaro-kun, don't cry! [11:23] Kotaro     There are some fish balls left.     Here, udon too. SIGN    Uwaaah~! My cat ran off somewhere~ Help me, Rescue Man~!! Emibbe SIGN    I'm still Rescuing! Rescue Man SIGN    The ditch in front of my house is clogged, and water is flooding from it! It's really bad. Help me! Thunder Man [11:28] Kotaro     No rest for heroes of justice... [11:32] Kotaro     You idiots! [11:33] Suzuna     Ah, Kotaro-sempai! [11:38] Izuru     It's good. SIGN    When you're in a desperate situation, it's all the more important to keep smiling. [12:02] Ritsu     Where am I? [12:13] Ritsu     The edge of the world? That's not it. [12:17] Ritsu     I have a clear awareness of myself. [12:22] Ritsu     So... [13:19] Ritsu     I figured it was you, μ. [13:29] SweetP     How is μ? [13:31] Thorn     She's all right. [13:32] Thorn     It'll be soon. Don't worry. [13:36] Thorn     μ's consciousness is gradually awakening. [13:40] Thorn     Thanks to the power of her subconscious     desire to protect us Musicians. [13:45] Thorn     Most likely, she'll wake up tonight. [13:48] Thorn     Gather everyone. [13:50] Thorn     Including the Musicians who aren't here. [13:57] μ     I've constantly been thinking. [13:59] Ritsu     About what? [14:01] μ     I want to make everyone happy. [14:04] μ     Yet the other day, I hurt you and the others. [14:08] μ     But everyone was going crazy at     each other, so I lost control, as well. [14:13] μ     I couldn't understand myself anymore. [14:18] μ     Hey, Ritsu? [14:19] μ     What should I do? [14:23] Ritsu     Why are you asking me? [14:25] μ     Because you're you. [14:29] Ritsu     That's not an answer. [14:31] μ     What can I do to make everyone happy? [14:34] μ     What can I do to make you happy, too? [14:37] Ritsu     That's a difficult problem. [14:43] Ritsu     Filling in whatever is missing     doesn't always lead to happiness. [14:50] Ritsu     Well, the happiness one feels     when obtaining something [14:54] ---     shouldn't be denied, but... [14:57] μ     It's so complicated that I don't understand. [15:00] Ritsu     There are some people who derive     joy from the suffering of others. [15:03] Ritsu     In that case, the unhappiness of one person [15:06] ---     becomes happiness for someone else,      creating an antinomy, right? [15:10] μ     Hmm? [15:13] Ritsu     It means that happiness     differs for each individual. [15:17] μ     I don't really get that, either. [15:20] μ     Happiness is happiness, right? [15:22] μ     How can it be different? [15:23] μ     People are happy when they have     lots of delicious sweets, right? [15:27] μ     People are happy when they can wear     as many cute outfits as they like. [15:31] μ     Also... Also, it's best when     they all look really nice! [15:35] Ritsu     As I said... [15:36] Ritsu     Happiness is a way of thinking. [15:40] Ritsu     Huh? [15:42] μ     Ritsu? [15:43] Ritsu     N-No, real happiness is... [15:49] (Flashback) Counselor     As I've told you before, [15:51] (Flashback) ---     you should give yourself a bit more credit. [15:56] Ritsu     ...what you feel when you're fulfilled. [16:01] μ     You aren't happy when you     obtain the things you want? [16:06] Ritsu     I... [16:09] μ     So if your cherished pet dies,     then I'll make an even cuter one for you. [16:14] μ     If you have a mother you hate,     I'll produce a new mother for you. [16:19] μ     See? [16:19] μ     If I do that, then everyone     can be happy, right? [16:24] Ritsu     μ... [16:26] (Flashback) Tachibana     Really? [16:28] (Flashback) Tachibana     What about your other options? [16:30] (Flashback) Ritsu     I don't have anything. [16:32] (Flashback) Ritsu     I'm not like everyone else. [16:35] (Flashback) Counselor     There isn't a single person in this world     who doesn't have some worry or problem. [16:40] μ     I've been listening to everyone's voices. [16:44] μ     The voices of their hearts, [16:46] ---     crying out, "It hurts," "I'm in pain,"      and "I want to be happy." [16:50] (Flashback) Tachibana     To put it another way,     unhappiness is also just a belief. [16:54] (Flashback) Tachibana     Pessimists don't even notice     their own happiness. [16:57] (Flashback) Tachibana     Yet the world is filled with plenty     of small bits of happiness. [17:01] Ritsu     That's something only the haves can say. [17:05] μ     You can forget about everything unpleasant. [17:08] μ     Everyone can be happy here in Mobius,     where troubles, suffering, and pain don't exist. [17:14] Ritsu     A world that grants happiness... [17:17] μ     Yes, that's right! [17:19] μ     This place is meant to make everyone happy! [17:21] (Flashback) Ritsu     So anything can be granted in Mobius. [17:24] (Flashback) Tachibana     In other words, your happiness is— [17:30] μ     Ritsu? What's wrong? [17:35] Ritsu     That's right. [17:37] Ritsu     μ, you... [17:41] Ritsu     I... [17:43] μ     Don't worry. [17:44] μ     I'll create your happiness for you, Ritsu. [17:50] Ritsu     No. [17:52] Ritsu     That's not right, μ. [17:54] Ritsu     Listen to me. [17:56] μ     The things you want, [17:57] μ     the wishes you want granted, [17:59] μ     the people you want to see, [18:02] μ     the emotions you want fulfilled, [18:04] μ     the dreams you want to experience, [18:05] μ     the way you want to look... [18:09] μ     Don't worry. [18:11] μ     I'll grant any wish you have. [18:14] μ     With my song! [18:15] Ritsu     Wait! I— [18:25] Ritsu     μ... [18:45] μ     Oh, good morning. [18:49] Thorn     Good morning, μ. [18:51] Thorn     You've been sleeping so long     that we were all getting worried. [18:55] μ     Yeah, I'm fine now. [18:58] Thorn     What's the matter? [19:00] μ     In my dream... [19:02] μ     I realized I need to work much, much harder. [19:07] Thorn     μ? [19:08] μ     I'm sorry. [19:09] μ     I hurt all of you, didn't I? [19:13] Thorn     It's fine. [19:14] Thorn     As long as you're around,     we can all be happy again. [19:18] μ     That's right. [19:20] μ     I'm sure Ritsu and the others     just don't have enough happiness. [19:24] μ     That's why they're thinking about leaving. [19:26] Thorn     Yes, μ, exactly so. [19:30] Thorn     So... [19:32] ---     Why don't you let us all     hear you sing some more? [19:36] μ     Yeah! [19:38] Thorn     The Musicians are gathering     together again tonight. [19:42] Thorn     We should let them see that you're well. [19:44] μ     Okay. [19:54] μ     Huh? [19:55] μ     What is this? [20:03] Naruko     Jeez, President, you're late! [20:05] Mifue     We've been waiting for you! [20:07] Shogo     Hmm? Did you stop somewhere on the way? [20:10] Ritsu     Yeah, a bit. [20:14] Kotono     But the hot pot's over now. [20:18] Suzuna     Mifue-chan ate a lot, didn't she? [20:19] Mifue     Huh?! [20:20] Mifue     Hey, it wasn't just me, right?! [20:23] Aria     Ah, and here it was an Aria hot pot     specially made by Aria, too. [20:31] Aria     Ritsu, what's wrong? [20:36] Ritsu     Is it really over? [20:37] All     Huh? [20:39] Ritsu     It might look as though all the     ingredients are gone at first glance, [20:43] Ritsu     but unless the hot pot says it's over, [20:48] Ritsu     then I'm sure there are     still possibilities left. [20:54] Kotaro     We've got trouble! [20:56] Naruko     Oh, it's Rescue Man. [20:57] Kotaro     N-No! [20:59] Kotaro     I'm not that hero of justice! [21:01] Naruko     Saving people here in Mobius where people     in need of rescue are prepared for you [21:06] ---     is just self-satisfaction, Sempai. [21:09] Kotaro     Shut up! [21:11] Kotaro     This is a matter of my heart! [21:13] Shogo     More importantly, what's wrong? [21:15] Shogo     You're in a panic. [21:17] Kotaro     I heard a scream from over there! [21:19] Kotaro     So stop eating that stuff, and let's hurry! [21:21] Aria     Hey! Don't call my Aria special     rice gruel "that stuff"! [21:25] Kotaro     What do you mean, "Aria special     rice gruel," pipsqueak?! [21:27] Kensuke     Could you save the comedy routine     for later, Kotaro-sempai? [21:31] Kotaro     Huh? You're pretty cheeky     for a newbie, Kensuke! [21:39] Kotaro     I think it's probably what you told us about. [21:42] Kotono     Then... [21:44] Kensuke     See? I told you to trust me. [21:47] Shogo     Then we're certain? [21:52] Ritsu     Go-Home Club, it's time to take action.
