[02:21] Rio
    Thank you for having us.
[02:23] All
    Thank you!
[02:25] womA
    No, thank you for coming all this way.
[02:29] Rio
    Not at all!
[02:30] Rio
    We're at the recording studio all the time,
[02:33] Rio
    but we rarely come to studios of this type,
[02:35] Rio
    so we're all quite excited.
[02:36] Rik
    So this is how it looks, huh?
[02:40] Mah
    Last time, it was so dark,
    we could hardly see anything.
[02:43] Aya
    This looks like a secret base or something.
[02:46] womA
    I know you just got here,
    but may we ask you to get changed now?
[02:51] Aya
    Changed?
[02:52] womA
    That's right.
[02:53] womA
    You'll be wearing these motion capture suits.
[02:59] Mah
    Is this for real?
[03:01] Aya
    We're changing into those?
[03:06] Mih
    These look like clothes from the future.
[03:09] Mah
    Yeah, these are a little...
[03:11] Aya
    ...embarrassing.
[03:14] Rik
    How do I look?
[03:15] Mah
    You're comfortable in it?
[03:17] Rik
    Why not?
[03:18] Rik
    It's basically like a wetsuit.
[03:21] Aya
    A wetsuit?
[03:22] Mah
    Oh, yeah. You like surfing, don't you?
[03:26] Mih
    So we'll be acting in these outfits?
[03:30] womA
    Yes.
[03:31] womA
    But before we start, we'll be adding these.
[03:34] Aya
    A ball?
[03:39] Mih
    What are these?
[03:41] womA
    They're sensors.
[03:42] Aya
    Sensors?
[03:43] womA
    Yes.
[03:44] womA
    We'll put these sensors on all your joints,
[03:46] womA
    which will allow the camera to capture
    your movements in real time.
[03:51] Mih
    I didn't notice them the last
    time we were here, but...
[03:54] Aya
    That's a lot of cameras...
[03:57] Mih
    So these were the cameras recording
    our movements last time.
[04:02] Rik
    Huh?
[04:03] Rik
    We weren't wearing any
    of this that time, though.
[04:06] womA
    It's possible to automatically detect human
    bodies and capture the movement roughly,
[04:12] womA
    but we need these sensors when we want
    to recreate more subtle movements.
[04:17] Mah
    Huh...
[04:18] womA
    We're all prepared!
[04:22] Mas
    Hello, everyone!
[04:25] Mih
    Masapi-san!
[04:26] Aya
    Hello.
[04:28] Rik
    Hiya!
[04:29] Mas
    I'm sorry to make you wear
    such strange clothing.
[04:32] Mah
    Yeah, today it's all lit up in here,
    and there's staff, too.
[04:36] Mah
    We weren't expecting that.
[04:38] Mas
    Yes, that day was not a
    working day for our company.
[04:40] Mas
    Usually we do have permanent staff.
[04:44] Mih
    Your translation's gotten better.
[04:47] Mas
    Yeah!
[04:47] Mas
    This is an updated version.
[04:49] Mah
    So what are we going to do in these outfits?
[04:52] Mas
    You will be going on an adventure.
[04:55] Mih
    An adventure?
[04:57] Mas
    I've started by gathering all the
    gear you'll need for an adventure.
[05:01] All
    Gear?
[05:04] Aya
    What is this?
[05:06] Aya
    A bucket lid?
[05:08] Mih
    An adventure... with this?
[05:11] Mah
    Look, these have sensors on them, too.
[05:15] Rik
    These really don't look like weapons to me.
[05:18] Mas
    Looks like you're all ready.
[05:20] Mas
    Time to start our adventure.
[05:36] Aya
    This is...
[05:37] Rik
    Isn't that us, from last time?
[05:40] Har
    Oh, yeah, these outfits...
[05:43] Mah
    Looks like I'm definitely a mage.
[05:46] Mah
    And you're a hero?
[05:48] Aya
    All I have is a shield, though.
[05:51] Rik
    That means I'm a...
[05:54] Rik
    Uh, I guess I'm not a warrior,
    but a... leek merchant?
[06:00] Mih
    They really do move in sync with us.
[06:03] Rik
    This is neat!
[06:04] Mas
    All right. Is everyone ready?
[06:08] Aya
    Oh, Masapi-san is over there now.
[06:11] Mas
    Your first goal is to reach
    the castle in the forest.
[06:14] All
    The castle in the forest?
[06:21] Mah
    What are we supposed to do now?
[06:24] Rik
    Is this like a role-playing game?
[06:26] Mas
    That's right.
[06:28] Mas
    This is where your adventure will start.
[06:31] Mas
    Your destination is the
    Demon Lord's Castle, far, far away.
[06:34] Rik
    I see.
SIGN    Demon Lord's Castle
SIGN    ∞ kilometers to go!
[06:36] Mas
    Please begin by exploring the area freely.
[06:40] All
    Okay!
[06:41] Rik
    Nice, nice!
[06:43] Rik
    So what do we do first?
[06:44] Mah
    What are you planning to do with that leek?
[06:52] Aya
    What is that?
[06:53] Aya
    Gross.
[06:55] Mih
    Oh, my, could that be...
[06:57] Rik
    A goblin, perhaps?
[06:59] Mah
    Yeah, it's got that "first enemy" vibe.
[07:02] Mah
    Wait, why me?!
[07:05] Aya
    Mahoro!
[07:06] Mah
    Aya?!
[07:09] Rik
    Stay away from...
[07:11] Rik
    my friends!
[07:19] Rik
    Wow! Something shot from it again!
[07:22] Aya
    From mine, too.
[07:29] Mih
    Wow, you're all so great.
[07:32] Mih
    It really feels like we're on an adventure.
[07:35] Aya
    Oh, right, the adventure.
[07:37] Rik
    I get it now!
[07:39] Rik
    Look!
[07:40] Rik
    That must be the Demon Lord's Castle.
[07:42] Mah
    Yeah, probably.
[07:44] Mih
    Well, then, here we go!
[07:49] Rik
    That means you, too, Mage.
[07:51] Mah
    Huh?
[07:53] Aya
    Shall we?
[07:55] Mih
    This looks like it'll be a fun adventure.
[07:58] Mah
    I-I guess.
[08:07] (Flashback) Girl
    Let's always be friends.
[08:11] (Flashback) Mah
    Yeah, friends. We'll be friends forever and ever.
[08:16] (Flashback) Guy
    And cut!
[08:18] (Flashback) Guy
    That's a wrap!
[08:22] (Flashback) Girl
    Hey, you're hurting me.
[08:27] (Flashback) Girl
    Thanks.
[08:29] (Flashback) Girl
    Good work, everyone.
[08:31] (Flashback) All
    Good work, everyone!
[08:33] (Flashback) All
    Good work, everyone!
[08:40] (Flashback) Guy
    Good work, Mahoro-chan.
[08:43] (Flashback) Mah
    Thank you. Same to you.
[08:57] Mah
    That was a weird dream.
[09:02] Mih
    Huh?
[09:03] Mih
    Morning.
[09:04] Mih
    You're up early.
[09:06] Mah
    Morning.
[09:07] Mih
    Is that a letter?
[09:09] Mah
    Yeah.
[09:09] Mah
    It's from my grade school.
[09:11] Mih
    The school you used to go to?
[09:13] Mah
    Yeah.
[09:14] Mah
    They have my time capsule,
    and they're asking me to come pick it up.
SIGN    Dear alumnus,
    We hope you are enjoying the
    refreshing autumn, now that the heat is letting up.
    We would like to inform you that we opened the
    time capsules you buried at your coming-of-age ceremony.
     Further, we kindly ask those of you who did not
    attend to specify how to handle your belongings.
     Please mark your choice on the enclosed form and
    mail it along with your address and contact information.
     • In case you wish to collect your items
     Please contact the school before visiting.
     Our office is happy to receive your call.
    Please find our contact information below.
     • In case you wish for items to be mailed
     Please fill out the enclosed
    form and enter your address.
     Please be advised that you are
    responsible for the shipping fee.
[09:21] Mih
    A time capsule?
[09:22] Mah
    We buried them back in grade school.
[09:25] Mah
    I guess they dug them up at
    our coming-of-age ceremony.
[09:28] Mih
    Oh, you didn't go to your
    coming-of-age ceremony?
[09:32] Mih
    Were you that busy?
[09:34] Mih
    What about your friends?
[09:36] Mah
    I was working as a child actress,
    so I didn't really have many friends there.
[09:41] Mih
    I see.
[09:44] Mih
    What did you put in your time capsule?
[09:47] Mah
    I don't remember.
[09:48] Mah
    I mean, it can't be anything
    decent if I put it in there.
[09:52] Mih
    Oh, come on.
[09:53] Mah
    I guess I'll just mark "please throw it away."
[09:56] Mih
    You can't do that.
[09:57] Mih
    Since they dug it up,
    wouldn't it be better to go get it?
SIGN    Time capsule
[10:00] Mah
    What? Go all the way there for this?
[10:04] Mih
    But isn't this a rare and
    wonderful opportunity?
[10:07] Mah
    There might be bugs in there.
[10:10] Mih
    Really?
[10:12] Mah
    I can't guarantee no bugs.
[10:14] Mih
    Anyway, you should go get it.
[10:17] Mih
    You can always throw it away later.
SIGN    Nagoya
[10:21] Mih
    Where were you from again?
[10:24] Mah
    Nagoya.
[10:25] Mih
    Oh, my. I was thinking of going with you,
    but I wasn't expecting Nagoya.
[10:31] Mah
    It's fine. You don't have to.
[10:33] Mih
    No, I'm coming.
[10:35] Mih
    Let's go together.
[10:36] Mah
    What? Why?
[10:39] Mih
    We can have miso katsu and chopped
    eel on rice while we're there.
[10:43] Mah
    Huh?
[10:44] Mih
    And drink some delicious sake together.
[10:48] Mah
    Okay, so that's what this is about.
[10:52] Mih
    Wow, we got here in no time!
[10:55] Mih
    The Shinkansen is so fast.
[10:57] Mah
    It's another thirty minutes on the bus.
[11:00] Mah
    This way.
[11:01] Mih
    Coming.
[11:12] Mih
    Unfamiliar places are kind of exciting.
[11:16] Mah
    I'm pretty done with it, honestly.
[11:19] Mah
    Want a mandarin orange?
[11:21] Mih
    You still had some left?
[11:23] Mah
    There was no way I could eat them all.
[11:26] Mah
    I told them that I didn't want
    them because they're so heavy...
[11:30] Mih
    I think Riko and Aya wanted to come,
    too, but they were too busy.
[11:34] Mah
    Why? Are they really that
    interested in Nagoya?
[11:38] Mih
    I don't think that's it.
[11:41] Mah
    Then why?
[11:43] Mih
    We probably just want to
    get to know you better.
[11:49] Mih
    I mean—
[11:50] Mah
    I don't get it.
[11:52] Mah
    Mind if I sleep?
[11:54] Mih
    Go ahead.
[12:00] Mah
    I can't say I have a lot of
    good memories from here.
[12:03] Mah
    But...
[12:05] ---
    This is pretty nostalgic.
[12:10] Mah
    The city still smells the same.
[12:37] Mih
    Oh, wow.
[12:40] Mah
    Hey, Miharu.
[12:42] Mah
    Want to take a break somewhere?
[12:45] Mih
    I don't mind. Why? Is something wrong?
[12:48] Mah
    Not really.
[12:49] Mah
    I just got a little nostalgic for the city.
[12:52] Mih
    Do you see something?
[12:55] Mah
    No, I meant just in general.
[12:57] Mih
    I thought maybe you were trying
    to find some of your friends.
[13:01] Mah
    I don't have any friends.
[13:06] Mah
    Remember how I said that
    I was a child actress?
[13:10] Mih
    Yes.
[13:12] Mah
    So...
[13:14] ---
    I was actually pretty lonely.

    Yeah.
[13:28] (Flashback) Teach
    Miyaji-san. They're here to pick you up.
[13:31] (Flashback) Mah
    All right.
[13:32] (Flashback) Mah
    Thank you.
[13:35] Mah
    The other kids shut me out a lot.
[13:38] Mah
    That didn't bother me a bit, though.
[13:43] Mih
    I see.
[13:47] Mah
    Anyway, I don't have a lot of good memories.
[13:50] Mih
    Okay.
[13:51] Mah
    I think I remember now.
[13:54] Mah
    What I put in the time capsule.
[13:57] Mah
    I'm not sure, but I think it was an essay.
[14:00] Mih
    I can't wait.
[14:02] Mah
    Not me.
[14:03] Mah
    I mean, knowing me, it's probably justs
    cheeky nonsense with a whack outlook.
[14:10] Mah
    I know we're already here and all,
    but why don't we just go home?
[14:15] Mih
    What?
[14:17] Mah
    I think just feeling the
    atmosphere of the city was enough.
[14:23] Mah
    I feel really good right now.
[14:26] Mih
    After we came this far?
[14:28] Mah
    That's why. I don't want to spoil this mood.
[14:31] Mih
    My, my.
[14:34] Mah
    Nope, no way.
[14:35] Mah
    I'm not doing this.
[14:36] Mah
    Let's go home.
[14:38] Mih
    No, we're not.
[14:40] Mih
    Let's go.
[14:41] Mih
    Come on, get up.
[14:45] Mah
    I really don't think any good will come of this.
[14:49] Groundskeeper
    This area has changed a lot, huh?
[14:52] Groundskeeper
    Since the city merge happened
    and the name changed,
[14:54] Groundskeeper
    the reorganization of the school
    was quite intense for a while.
[14:59] Mah
    I see.
[15:00] Groundskeeper
    You're here for the time capsule, right?
[15:03] Mah
    Yeah, they were dug up at the
    coming-of-age ceremony, right?
[15:07] Groundskeeper
    That's right.
[15:09] Groundskeeper
    But since the school got remodeled,
[15:11] Groundskeeper
    we didn't even know where they were buried.
[15:13] Groundskeeper
    We had to ask some former
    staff to come back to help.
[15:16] Groundskeeper
    Still took us two days to dig them up.
[15:21] Groundskeeper
    Well, here you go.
[15:23] Mah
    A shovel?
[15:25] Groundskeeper
    Yes. We buried your time capsules again.
[15:29] Mah
    What? After all that trouble?
[15:31] Groundskeeper
    That's right. We buried them deep.
[15:33] Mah
    Why did you do that?
[15:35] Groundskeeper
    We wanted to let you
    experience digging it up.
[15:40] Mih
    Excuse me. Do you have another shovel?
[15:44] Groundskeeper
    We have plenty of shovels.
[15:46] Mah
    I told you nothing good would come of this.
[15:50] Mih
    This was a surprise, but a fun one.
[15:53] Mih
    He said it would be somewhere around here.
[15:56] Mah
    I guess he's not going to help us.
[15:59] Mih
    Oh, I bet this is it!
[16:01] Mih
    You can see where it's been dug up.
[16:03] Mah
    I don't know.
[16:05] Mih
    Let's just start digging.
[16:14] Mah
    I wish they had told me from the
    start that I'd have to dig it up myself.
[16:17] Mih
    Sake tastes best after physical labor.
[16:31] Mah
    Look, Miharu, let's just stop.
[16:34] Mih
    Just a bit more!
[16:44] Mah
    You know this is pointless, right?
[16:48] Mih
    Come on, you can't know that
    without digging it up first.
[17:03] Mah
    Thanks, Miharu.
[17:05] Mah
    I'm satisfied with what we've done.
[17:08] Mah
    There's no reason to go through all this
    for some crappy essay I wrote as a kid.
[17:13] Mih
    I want to dig it up, though.
[17:17] Mah
    Why go through all this?
[17:19] Mih
    Why do I need to have a reason?
[17:24] Mah
    Miharu...
[17:25] Mih
    Besides...
[17:28] ---
    I think that essay is
    what you need right now.
[17:34] Mah
    Why do you think that?
[17:37] Mih
    I don't know, but that's how I feel.
[17:44] Mih
    Huh?
[17:45] Mah
    Miharu, that's it!
[17:49] Mah
    This is the time capsule.
[17:59] Mah
    This is it. My essay.
[18:03] Mih
    Why don't you read it?
[18:08] Mih
    What's wrong?
[18:09] Mah
    W-Well...
[18:10] Mah
    I'd like to read it alone.
[18:14] Mah
    Is that okay?
[18:16] Mih
    Then I'll clean all this up.
[18:19] Mah
    Sorry.
[18:25] Mah
    "To me, now that I'm 20."
[18:27] Mah
    "Knowing me, I bet I'm all cynical
    and can't bring myself to grow up,

    wolf and toughing it out, huh?"

    Mahoro, how was it?

    Mahoro?
[19:33] Mah
    If I had a time machine...
[19:43] Mah
    I'd go back and hug the kid
    who wrote this letter,
[19:49] Mah
    and I'd tell her...

    Could I go, too?

    No.

    Oh, right.

    We are.

    So I can come, too?

    when we defeat the final boss?
[22:55] Aya
    Will we get anything?
[22:56] Mah
    One vote for nothing.
[22:59] Har
    Tasty sake.
[23:01] Rik
    Don't say stuff like that
    when you look like a priest!
[23:05] Mah
    A depraved priest.
[23:07] Har
    That's mean!
[23:08] Aya
    By the way, how long will it
    take to get to the castle?
[23:13] Rik
    Don't worry about that.
[23:15] Rik
    We're still at the starting line here.

[23:19] Aya
    It's because Riko started talking about the
    stuff we get for defeating the final boss.
[23:24] ---
    That's right.
[23:26] Mih
    I still think it'll be sake.
[23:28] Mah
    Sheesh, Miharu's got such a one-track mind.
[23:32] Rio
    Um, the girls are basically talking
    as if they're doing their radio show.
[23:36] Rio
    Is that okay?
[23:37] Mas
    Yes, of course.
[23:39] Mas
    This is perfect.
[23:45] Mah
    It's okay.
[24:00] Mah
    It's okay. You don't have to worry.
