**[00:06] Kar**
We lost!
**[00:08] Nat**
What can you do?
**[00:09] Nat**
They put us up against third years.
**[00:11] Kar**
That girl's serve was amazing.
**[00:13] Nat**
I think she's in the Volleyball Club.
**[00:16] Kar**
Oh, yeah...
**[00:18] Kar**
The senpai girls said they
were doing softball, right?
**[00:21] Nat**
Did they?
**[00:22] Kar**
I checked the tournament schedule earlier,
**[00:24] Kar**
and it said class 2-1 and class 2-5
will be playing each other.
**[00:27] Nat**
Class 2-1 and class 2-5...
**[00:30] Kar**
Sakura-senpai and Botan-senpai
are in class 2-1.
**[00:32] Kar**
Claire-senpai's in class 2-5.
**[00:34] Nat**
Oh...
**[00:35] Kar**
I hear the game starts at 10am.
**[00:38] Nat**
That's pretty soon.
**[00:40] Nat**
Wanna go watch?
**[00:41] Kar**
Yeah!
**[00:49] Furu**
They totally ignored me.
***SIGN*** Record 12
***SIGN*** Fierce Battle!! The First Term Ball Game Tournament
**[02:27] Ump**
The game between class 2-1
and class 2-5 will now begin.
**[02:31] Teams**
May the best team win!
**[02:37] Nat**
Oh, we made it just in time!
***SIGN*** Class 2-1 Pitcher: Doumyouji Sakura
***SIGN*** Class 2-1 Catcher: Oohagi Botan
**[02:51] Kar**
Wow!
**[02:52] Kar**
Sakura-senpai's the pitcher!
**[02:54] Nat**
She seems like the type who'd
love to be called an "ace."
**[02:57] Nat**
Don't you think Botan-senpai's
pitches would be faster, though?
**[03:01] Kar**
But wouldn't that kill the catcher?
**[03:04] Nat**
Good point.
**[03:05] Nat**
That wouldn't go well.
**[03:07] Ump**
Um, the girl playing catcher...
***SIGN*** Umpire
**[03:10] Ump**
Will you be all right without a mask?
**[03:13] Bot**
Yeah. It'd be more work for
the animators if I wore one.
**[03:17] ---**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Don't try this at home, kids!
***SIGN*** Hit it!
***SIGN*** 2-5 Leadoff Hitter: Kokonoe Claire
**[03:23] ---**
Let's go!
**[03:24] ---**
You can do it!
***SIGN*** Class 2-5
**[03:26] Girl 5-A**
Koko-chan! Go for it!
**[03:28] Girl 5-B**
Koko! Keep your eye on the ball!
**[03:31] Kar**
Claire-senpai's class calls her Koko-chan!
**[03:35] Nat**
I guess it comes from Kokonoe.
**[03:38] Girl 5-A**
Koko-chan, what are you doing?
**[03:40] Girl 5-B**
I know!
**[03:41] Girl 5-B**
She's...
**[03:42] Girl 5-C**
...signaling that she'll hit a home run!
**[03:44] Girl 5-A**
Go for it, Koko!
**[03:45] Girl 5-B**
Hit it outta the park!
**[03:46] Girl 1-A**
What?
***SIGN*** Class 2-1
**[03:48] Girl 1-A**
Signaling a home run?
**[03:49] Girl 1-B**
Crush her, Doumyouji!
**[03:50] Girl 1-B**
Hit her in the face!
**[03:52] Girl 1-C**
Yeah, kill her!
**[03:53] Nat**
*Class 2-1 is scary!*
**[03:56] Ump**
Play ball!
**[03:59] Sak**
*Botan-chan...*
**[04:02] Sak**
* Give me a signal for*
* where I should throw.*
**[04:06] Bot**
*But... we never decided on any signals.*
**[04:08] Sak**
*That's true. We haven't.*
**[04:10] Sak**
*And even if we had, I'm an amateur,*
**[04:12] Sak**
* so I don't have the control to*
* pitch that accurately, anyway.*
**[04:16] Bot**
*Then, why?*
**[04:21] Sak**
*You give a signal.*
**[04:22] Sak**
*I shake my head.*
**[04:23] Sak**
*You give another signal.*
**[04:25] Sak**
*I nod.*
**[04:26] Sak**
*Through this sequence of actions,*
**[04:28] Sak**
* we give the impression that*
* we know what we're doing,*
**[04:30] Sak**
* and leave class 2-5*
* shaking in their boots!*
**[04:33] Bot**
*I get it.*
**[04:34] Bot**
*Then, I'll make some random signals.*
**[04:56] Sak**
*Freaky!*
**[04:57] Sak**
*What was that?*
**[04:58] Sak**
*How'd you do that?*
**[04:59] Bot**
*What?*
**[05:00] Bot**
*Can't everyone do this?*
**[05:01] Sak**
*Not with just one hand!*
**[05:05] Bot**
*Really?*
**[05:06] Bot**
* Well, we did what we set out*
* to do, so what's the issue?*
**[05:09] Sak**
*No, we haven't!*
**[05:10] Sak**
* The only one shaking*
* in their boots is me!*
**[05:13] Bot**
*More importantly, Sakura...*
**[05:16] Bot**
* What's our strategy for*
* conquering class 2-5's lineup?*
**[05:19] Sak**
*Good question...*
**[05:21] Sak**
*Is Claire-chan actually a good athlete?*
**[05:24] Bot**
*I dunno...*
**[05:25] Bot**
*I don't really picture her as one.*
**[05:28] Sak**
*Didn't she say she does horse riding?*
**[05:30] Sak**
* But how athletic do you*
* have to be to ride horses?*
**[05:33] Sak**
* I think it's the horse that does*
* all the work, not the rider.*
**[05:39] Bot**
* I've seen her ride*
* mechanical broncos before,*
**[05:41] Bot**
* but does that have anything*
* in common with batting?*
**[05:44] Sak**
*I dunno...*
**[05:47] Bot**
* I've picked up a horse*
* and run with it before.*
**[05:50] Sak**
*What on earth for?*
**[05:52] Bot**
*I was in my rebellious phase.*
**[05:54] Bot**
*I did everything backwards.*
**[05:55] Sak**
* Oh, like the "I raced off with*
* a stolen horse" thing, right?*
**[05:59] Bot**
*Exactly.*
**[06:00] Sak**
*Don't just say "exactly"!*
**[06:01] Sak**
* I can't believe how*
* unhelpful that info was!*
**[06:04] Sak**
*Anyway, if we lose this game,*
**[06:07] Sak**
* Claire-chan will lord it over*
* us for about a week!*
**[06:11] Cla**
Hey, lousy pitcher... I mean,
**[06:14] Cla**
Sakura-san, would you pour me some tea?
**[06:17] Bot**
*You're right.*
**[06:18] Bot**
*We can't afford to lose.*
**[06:20] Sak**
* How about we just pick a fight over*
* something trivial and start a brawl?*
**[06:24] Bot**
*I get it!*
**[06:25] Bot**
*You're a genius!*
**[06:29] Cla**
*Have you two worked out your plan yet?*
**[06:32] ---**
*Huh?*
**[06:33] Cla**
*Come on, you two...*
**[06:35] Cla**
* I've known you two for almost as*
* long as you've known each other.*
**[06:38] Cla**
* The telepathic conversations you have*
* are loud and clear to me, too.*
**[06:46] Sak**
*Oh no!*
**[06:48] Sak**
*Our strategy session was leaked!*
**[06:54] Nat**
Just throw the ball already!
**[06:56] ---**
Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop...
**[07:01] ---**
Stare...
**[07:03] Kar**
Let's see...
**[07:05] Kar**
If you chose C, it means you always speak
your mind when something bothers you,
**[07:10] Kar**
and whenever you find an opening,
you can't resist making a retort.
**[07:12] Nat**
Hey, that sounds like me!
**[07:12] Nat**
Stare...
**[07:15] Sak**
Sounds like you're doing
something fun over there.
**[07:17] Kar**
Sakura-senpai.
**[07:19] Sak**
Okay, let me give you the next question.
**[07:22] Nat**
Oh, okay.
**[07:24] Sak**
You're walking down a hallway at school...
**[07:27] Sak**
when you see one of the classrooms on fire.
**[07:30] Sak**
So what do you do?
**[07:32] Kar**
Um...
**[07:33] Kar**
I guess I'd throw water on it.
**[07:35] Nat**
I'd probably run away.
**[07:39] Sak**
The correct answer is:
**[07:40] Sak**
"Place a handkerchief over your mouth,
get down close to the ground,
**[07:43] Sak**
and evacuate in accordance
with the instructions given."
**[07:46] Nat**
*It wasn't a philosophical question?*
***SIGN*** Record 13
***SIGN*** Burn!! Fire Safety Soul!!
**[07:53] Sak**
During our evacuation drill the other
day, something occurred to me.
**[07:57] Sak**
We all lack proper
fire safety awareness!
**[08:00] Sak**
Especially you, Natsuki-chan!
**[08:01] Sak**
What happened back there?
**[08:03] (Flashback) Sak**
Natsuki-chan!
**[08:05] (Flashback) Nat**
Oh, Sakura-senpai.
**[08:08] Sak**
Why were you so relaxed?
**[08:09] Sak**
Weren't you aware that
it was a state of crisis?
**[08:11] Sak**
If that had been a real
fire, you'd be dead!
**[08:14] Nat**
Then you shouldn't have spoken to me.
**[08:16] Sak**
But part of the problem is the way
the school organizes the drills.
**[08:20] Sak**
The fire "outbreak" always
happens during class!
**[08:22] Sak**
And it always starts in either the
science lab or the home ec. room!
***SIGN*** Science Lab
***SIGN*** Home Ec. Room
**[08:24] Sak**
It's too convenient!
**[08:25] Sak**
A fire is not a villain
in a superhero movie!
**[08:29] Kar**
Um... what does she mean by that?
**[08:32] Bot**
Villains only cause trouble in cities
**[08:34] Bot**
where a superhero happens to live.
**[08:36] Sak**
There are lots of other places in the
school where a fire could break out!
**[08:40] Sak**
We have to be on the
lookout at all times!
**[08:42] Sak**
Behind the school, for instance!
**[08:44] Sak**
Everyone knows that's where
delinquents go to smoke!
**[08:46] Sak**
It's always been that way!
**[08:48] Nat**
Do we have people like
that in our school?
**[08:51] Cla**
I don't know...
**[08:52] Cla**
But I've heard that carelessness with
cigarettes is a major cause of fires.
**[08:57] Sak**
No, there's actually not much
behind the school that's flammable,
**[09:00] Sak**
so even if you do toss them carelessly,
they're not likely to cause a fire.
**[09:03] Nat**
Huh?
**[09:04] Nat**
They won't catch fire?
**[09:05] Nat**
Then, why did you bring up the subject?
**[09:07] Sak**
The real problem comes later...
***SIGN*** Down to a pack every
three days... (lol)
Need the cash ^^;
***SIGN*** Comments (2864)
**[09:09] Sak**
When they blog about it and the
comments section catches fire!
**[09:11] Nat**
That's the kind of "catching fire" you meant?!
**[09:13] Sak**
They'd probably hold a school assembly afterward.
**[09:15] Sak**
How would we evacuate from that?
**[09:18] Nat**
Just give up and take part in it.
**[09:20] Sak**
By the way, Botan-chan,
**[09:22] Sak**
can you tell me what the fire
evacuation acronym, PRD, stands for?
**[09:25] Bot**
Who, me?
**[09:30] Bot**
P-Past misdeeds...
**[09:33] Bot**
R-Revealed for your...
**[09:36] Bot**
D-Destruction.
**[09:39] Nat**
Who are you threatening with that?!
**[09:41] Sak**
Okay, you're dead!
**[09:41] Sak**
If this was a real fire,
you'd be dead, Botan-chan!
**[09:45] Bot**
Oh, but I'd be fine.
**[09:47] Bot**
See?
**[09:48] Bot**
The flames part in my presence,
so I don't even have to run away.
**[09:52] Sak**
No nonsensical excuses!
**[09:54] Sak**
Anyway, Botan-chan,
you just lost a life there!
**[09:58] Nat**
What, she has continues?
**[10:00] Sak**
Now, Karin-chan!
**[10:01] Sak**
Tell your failing senpai the correct answer!
**[10:04] Kar**
Um...
***SIGN*** P
**[10:06] Kar**
No pushing...
**[10:07] Sak**
Right!
***SIGN*** R
**[10:08] Kar**
No running...
**[10:09] Sak**
Bingo!
***SIGN*** D
**[10:10] Kar**
D...
**[10:13] Kar**
No dying?
**[10:13] Sak**
She summed it all up!
**[10:15] Cla**
Yes, that's the essence of it.
**[10:18] Cla**
Karin-san's innocent eyes always see
through to what's really important.
**[10:24] Nat**
What are you talking about,
you blindly-doting parent?!
**[10:27] Sak**
You're all hopeless!
**[10:30] Sak**
The correct answer is: "No pushing,
no running, no discussing"!
**[10:33] Sak**
We're bringing you these three!
**[10:35] Nat**
Why did you do that like
a next episode preview?
**[10:38] Sak**
Incidentally, some schools in some areas
may add "no returning to the scene,"
**[10:42] Sak**
"no approaching the site," and
"no leaving evidence behind."
**[10:47] Nat**
Are you sure you're not
confusing this with arson?
**[10:49] Sak**
But there's something I've always wondered...
**[10:52] Sak**
The fire evacuation acronym, PRD, stands for:
**[10:55] Sak**
"No pushing (buttons), no running
(up your bill), no discussing (gossip)."
**[10:59] Sak**
Why can't they just say,
"Don't use your phone"?
**[11:03] Sak**
Why do they break it up
into individual parts?
**[11:05] Nat**
You don't get it either?!
***SIGN*** Precious
**[11:09] Aza**
Precious!
***SIGN*** Really Cute
**[11:10] Aza**
Really cute!
***SIGN*** Digging Prohibited
**[11:12] Aza**
Digging prohibited!
**[11:14] Nat**
But even if we don't know this stuff,
**[11:17] Nat**
there's not going to be
a fire, so we'll be fine.
**[11:20] Cla**
What? Why not?
**[11:22] Nat**
After all, this show's already on episode 3,
**[11:25] Nat**
and it hasn't caught fire yet!
**[11:28] Bot**
You said it!
**[11:29] Cla**
That was a good one!
**[11:33] Sak**
You're not supposed to laugh about that!

**[11:56] Nat**
Are you going on vacation?
**[11:58] Bot**
No, this is my jogging route for tonight.
**[12:03] Nat**
You've gone way beyond jogging here!
**[12:06] Bot**
Ah, but I have to get back on the same day.
**[12:11] Bot**
Well, I guess I can make it.
**[12:12] Nat**
Just how incredibly strong are you?!
**[12:16] Bot**
But if I go that far, I should
check out Mt. Fuji, right?
**[12:19] Nat**
That's not the point...
**[12:21] Nat**
But why would you need to run so much?
**[12:25] Bot**
To be ready in case something happens.
**[12:27] Bot**
It's important to keep up
your training at all times.
**[12:31] Sak**
Botan-chan has even started training
in the shower at the pool.
**[12:34] Nat**
Training in the shower?
**[12:52] Nat**
You're supposed to outgrow that kind
of "training" in elementary school.
**[12:55] Nat**
But, Botan-senpai, you're
already stronger than a bear.
**[12:57] Nat**
What do you mean by
"in case something happens"?
**[13:01] Bot**
You know.
**[13:02] Bot**
If we lose popularity as a gag anime,
**[13:04] Bot**
we'll have to shift genres
and become a battle series.
**[13:07] Nat**
That's what she meant by "something happening"?
**[13:09] Nat**
She's always preparing for a retool?!
***SIGN*** Record 14
***SIGN*** Fundamentals of a Retool
***SIGN*** Hagitsuki-ryuu
**[13:20] Botan**
Truth is, Hagitsuki-ryuu has an
offshoot called Hagishirabe-ryuu.
***SIGN*** Hagishirabe-ryuu Hagitsuki-ryuu Oohagi Botan
**[13:25] Nat**
You just introduced a scenario out of nowhere.
**[13:28] Bot**
If we lose popularity as a gag anime,
**[13:30] Bot**
they'll come after us to take over
as the family's main branch.
**[13:33] Nat**
What exactly motivates these people's actions?
**[13:37] Bot**
In hopes of becoming the heir,
**[13:39] Bot**
The Four Great Kings will come one by one
to try and crush Hagitsuki-ryuu.
**[13:43] Nat**
There are actually Four Great Kings?!
**[13:46] Sak**
I bet the Four Great Kings arc will
take up about two episodes.
**[13:49] Nat**
*She's planning to beat two per episode!*
**[13:52] Bot**
Yeah.
**[13:53] Bot**
But the Four Great Kings aren't the only
pawns Hagishirabe-ryuu has at their disposal.
**[13:57] Nat**
* She's not even denying that she can*
* defeat the Four Great Kings in two episodes.*
**[14:01] Bot**
There's also the Hagishirabe Five,
**[14:03] Bot**
the Hagishirabe Celestial Nine,
**[14:06] Bot**
the Hagishirabe Magnificent Ten,
**[14:07] Bot**
the Hagishirabe Eleven,
**[14:09] Bot**
the Hagishirabe Twelve Heavenly Generals...
**[14:11] Bot**
and of course, the Hagishirabe Thirteen.
**[14:13] Nat**
Wait! These groups keep getting bigger!
**[14:15] Bot**
Thirteen is just one guy.
**[14:17] Bot**
He's a silent assassin.
**[14:19] Nat**
You meant *that* "13"?!
**[14:21] Bot**
But it's true...
**[14:22] Bot**
It'd be a nuisance to fight that
many opponents one at a time.
**[14:26] Bot**
We should get them all together...
**[14:28] Bot**
and have a tournament in
an underground arena.

**[14:44] Nat**
Um...
**[14:47] Nat**
Sorry to interrupt such an exciting daydream,
**[14:49] Nat**
but why does the arena
have to be underground?
**[14:52] Cla**
Plus, we don't actually
have an underground arena.
**[14:54] Cla**
Perhaps I should start
construction on one?
**[14:57] Nat**
That's not necessary.
**[14:59] Cla**
I do have an above-ground arena, but...
**[15:01] Nat**
Why do you have one of those?!

***SIGN*** But if we have a tournament,
***SIGN*** it'll mostly be your enemies destroying each other!

***SIGN*** Is Hagishirabe-ryuu made up entirely of idiots?
**[15:13] Bot**
I realize it now!
**[15:15] Nat**
She's the real idiot here!
**[15:18] Sak**
The real problem here is that
Botan-chan is the only fighter among us.
***SIGN*** Civilian 1
***SIGN*** Civilian 2
**[15:23] Sak**
We're civilians, so we'd lose
almost all of our screen time.

**[15:30] Bot**
That's not true.
**[15:32] Bot**
I may be the only one who can
fight the Hagishirabe-ryuu...
**[15:38] Bot**
But...
**[15:39] Bot**
No matter how difficult the battle I face,
**[15:42] Bot**
as long as you four support me...
**[15:45] Bot**
My friends' voices will revive me four times.
**[15:49] Nat**
Why does each club member
equal one extra life?!
**[15:52] Nat**
She really does have game brain!
**[15:56] Cla**
Natsuki-san, the looming threat isn't
simply a matter of raw strength.
**[16:01] Nat**
What?
**[16:04] Cla**
The Kokonoe family's riches make it
extremely powerful in politics and business.
**[16:09] Cla**
But there are other families
that hold similar influence.

If we lose popularity as a gag anime,
**[16:16] Cla**
they will all start moving to
upset the existing hierarchy.
**[16:20] Nat**
She brought up another scenario!
**[16:22] Cla**
Then, we will enter into a social battle of wits.
**[16:25] Nat**
What?
***SIGN*** Director
***SIGN*** Producer
**[16:26] Nat**
But the writers don't know
anything about that stuff!
**[16:30] Cla**
We'll do, like...
**[16:33] Cla**
stock—
**[16:34] Cla**
stock tra—
**[16:36] Cla**
insider trading...
**[16:39] Cla**
of stock.
**[16:40] Nat**
Their lack of knowledge is already showing!
**[16:44] Sak**
* A tournament in an underground*
* arena or a social battle of wits...*
**[16:49] Sak**
Natsuki-chan.
**[16:50] Sak**
You're mistaken if you think a retool will
shift this series to the battle genre.
**[16:54] Nat**
Huh?
**[16:56] Sak**
When popularity drops,
**[16:58] Sak**
they add more pointless fanservice!
**[17:00] Nat**
We're going in that direction, too?!
**[17:02] Sak**
Every time you open a door,
someone's getting changed!
**[17:06] Sak**
When the wind blows, the pantyshots abound!
**[17:08] Nat**
Why?!
**[17:14] Sak**
Bras fall from the second floor!
**[17:15] Nat**
Does that even count as fanservice?!
**[17:18] Sak**
That's the world that awaits us!
**[17:20] Nat**
What kind of world is that?
**[17:22] Cla**
Should I have a shower
installed in the club room?
**[17:26] Nat**
I don't think that's necessary.
**[17:27] Bot**
No, wait.
**[17:29] Bot**
If we have a shower in the club room,
**[17:31] Bot**
I can train any time I want, can't I?
**[17:33] Nat**
I told you, outgrow that in elementary school!
**[17:36] Nat**
Besides, that's only if we need a retool...
**[17:40] Nat**
And why was it only me in
all those fanservice shots?
**[17:43] Sak**
But we are being retooled.
**[17:46] Sak**
This is the third episode of our show,
and we still haven't caught fire!
**[17:51] Nat**
Huh? You were being serious?!
**[17:54] Sak**
When it comes to late-night anime,
**[17:56] Sak**
episode 3 is where people decide
if they'll keep watching or not.
**[17:59] Sak**
Our entire future's riding on how
well episode 3 draws in the crowd!
**[18:06] Nat**
That scene earlier where
Botan-senpai was training...
**[18:09] Nat**
A lot of the shots were from weird angles...
**[18:12] Nat**
Is that what you're talking about?!
**[18:14] Sak**
Exactly.
**[18:14] Sak**
Having an episode about sports is another
sign that the retooling has begun.
**[18:23] Nat**
Wait, wait!
**[18:24] Nat**
This isn't even right!
**[18:29] Bot**
Whew, I'm glad I made my signal there.
**[18:32] Nat**
No, no...
**[18:32] Nat**
That signal isn't covering anything!
**[18:34] Nat**
Look! Your whole body is blurred out!
**[18:37] Sak**
And look what happened to this scene!
**[18:42] Cla**
Sakura-sa— No.
**[18:46] Cla**
Ignorant peasant!
**[18:47] Cla**
I'll let you be my personal servant,
**[18:49] Cla**
so make me some tea on your hands and knees!
**[18:53] Nat**
Claire-senpai's character
has completely changed!
**[18:56] Aza**
Mine has, too!
**[18:58] Sak**
That means we have to do everything we
can to make them laugh, no matter the cost.
**[19:05] Sak**
Okay, since you haven't said anything
since the commercial break, Karin-chan...
**[19:09] Kar**
Y-Yes?
**[19:10] Sak**
Say something funny!
**[19:13] Sak**
That will be the punchline for this segment.
**[19:17] Sak**
It also has to sum up
everything we've talked about.
**[19:19] Nat**
*She's asking the impossible!*
**[19:22] Kar**
Um, let's see...
**[19:25] Kar**
What do Chronicles of the
Going Home Club punchlines
**[19:28] Kar**
and the ball in a one-player
softball game have in common?
**[19:32] Nat**
You're going with a riddle?
**[19:34] Sak**
What do they have in common?
**[19:37] Kar**
They keep getting thrown away!
**[19:38] Sak**
Good one!
***SIGN*** Cute

of three episodes, too.
**[19:44] Cla**
I have nothing left to teach you.
**[19:47] Nat**
Um... Was it really that good?
**[19:51] Kar**
Oh, yeah!
**[19:52] Kar**
Ah, can I say one more thing?
**[19:55] Sak**
What'll it be this time? An acrostic?
**[19:58] Kar**
No...
**[20:00] Sak**
Oh, I know!
**[20:01] Sak**
"These softball jokes are
reaching fever *pitch*,"
**[20:04] Sak**
or something like that, right?
**[20:06] Kar**
No, it's something I've been wanting
to point out for some time...
**[20:10] Kar**
This isn't episode 3.
**[20:12] Kar**
It's episode 4.
**[20:14] Girls**
What?
**[20:17] Nat**
B-B-But what do we do about the retool?!
**[20:20] Bot**
We'll have to pound each
other in a tournament!
**[20:22] Nat**
We don't have time to
round up fighters now!
**[20:25] Sak**
Then, I'll just have to get naked!
**[20:28] Nat**
Don't be so hasty!
**[20:29] Sak**
Let me go, Natsuki-chan!
**[20:31] Cla**
That's it!
**[20:31] Sak**
I have to do it before it's too late!
**[20:33] Cla**
The ending song!
**[20:35] Nat**
Haven't we used that joke enough already?!
**[20:37] Cla**
No. That's not what I mean.
**[20:39] Cla**
It's the smallest retooling we can do.
**[20:41] Cla**
Change the ending song!
**[20:44] Nat**
What? We can do that now?
**[20:47] Cla**
Hello, it's me.
**[20:50] Cla**
Could I request a new ending song?
**[20:53] Cla**
Yes. Right now!
**[22:29] Nat**
The... The Kokonoe Corporation is formidable...
**[22:34] Nat**
You sang that, didn't you, Botan-senpai?
**[22:37] Bot**
I can't turn down a request from Claire...
**[22:40] Nat**
So who were you duetting with?
**[22:44] Aza**
Yo!

Huh? Red bean donuts.
