    The leek pointed toward the forest,

[11:05] Kir
    Thunder... Woman?
[11:11] Nar
    Thunder Woman is a super heroine
    who was blessed with divine power.
[11:16] Nar
    She left her island home in
    order to save people from evil,
[11:21] Nar
    and ever since, she's been
    fighting day after day!
[11:24] (Flashback) kir
    What matters is what you choose.

    That's why I fight.

    For the people who can't fight!
[11:36] Kir
    I wouldn't have guessed you
    were a Thunder Woman fan.
[11:39] Hon
    I didn't expect you to know
    about Thunder Woman, either.
[11:44] Hon
    I saw it on TV when I was
    a child, and it moved me.
[11:49] Hon
    She's so cool, and she never gave up,
    no matter what trouble she faced.
[11:54] Hon
    I've looked up to her ever since.
[11:57] Hon
    Even though she's based on an American comic.
[12:02] Kir
    So when you're having trouble, you get
    into the Thunder Woman mindset and train?
[12:08] Hon
    Yes!
[12:09] Hon
    When I do that, I feel like
    I can focus better than usual.
[12:13] Kir
    I see.
[12:21] Kir
    There really are a lot of lines for Ayame.

    Haven't seen Ayame go all-out in a while.

    It sucks, but I don't want
    to lose my regular spot again.

[19:03] Hon
    I mean, I've failed in regular
    replacement matches before.
[19:08] Hon
    Every time I lost in a replacement
    match and lost my regular spot,
[19:12] Hon
    it felt like my role as a Bloom Baller
    was being questioned.
[19:16] Hon
    It hurt. It hurt so bad.
[19:20] Hon
    Then I realized that I was
    getting stiffer and stiffer,
[19:23] Hon
    and my body wouldn't move anymore.
[19:26] Hon
    But I can't be like that.
    If I freeze up, I can't change myself,
[19:28] Mai
    This is supposed to be Ayame's line, but...
[19:30] Har
    It's like she's talking about our work.
[19:32] Hon
    and I can't take anything in, either.
[19:35] Hon
    If I can't change others,
    then I have to change myself.
[19:39] Hon
    If there's something I lack now,
    all I have to do is add it!
[19:43] Hon
    That's why I'll do anything.
[19:44] Shi
    Honoka...
[19:46] Mai
    Wow.
[19:47] Hon
    I'll take in anything!
[19:47] Har
    I'm about to cry.
[19:49] Hon
    I can become anything I want!
[19:52] Hon
    I'll show you! I'll be a regular again!

    Okay, that's a wrap.
[20:03] Sai
    Okay, that's a wrap.
[20:05] Hon
    Thank you!
[20:13] Sai
    By the way, Nagihara.
[20:14] Kot
    Yes?
[20:16] Sai
    We're thinking about re-recording the
    Sky-blue team from cut 264 until the end.
[20:22] Sai
    What do you think?
[20:23] Sai
    What we have isn't bad,
[20:25] Sai
    but we want to try to get something
    just as good as Ayame's acting.
[20:29] Kot
    Yes, please let us try!
[20:31] Shi
    Understood.
[20:33] Miy
    I was hoping we could retake it, too!
[20:38] Hon
    Yes, please!
[20:42] Sai
    Rikka and company, from cut 264, take two.

[20:53] all
    Yeah!
[20:58] Hon
    It's done.
[21:01] Hon
    Shiho, how did I do?
[21:03] Shi
    It was good, I think.
[21:06] Hon
    You "think"? That's it?
[21:08] Kot
    That was really good, Honoka-chan!
[21:11] Hon
    Oh, really?
[21:12] Kot
    Yes, really.
[21:14] Kot
    I got chills just listening to it.
[21:17] Kot
    I wish I could arrange for the me
    of three years ago to hear it.
[21:21] Hon
    Huh? Three years ago?
[21:23] Mai
    Me, too.
[21:25] Mai
    I felt like I have to work harder, too.
[21:28] Har
    Same.
[21:30] Hon
    H-Huh?
[21:31] Set
    That means your acting was great.
[21:35] Hon
    Mine?
[21:39] Rio
    Oh, Honoka-chan.
[21:42] Hon
    What?! Kirika-sensei was here?
[21:45] Rio
    Yeah, but she said she had to be somewhere
[21:47] ---
    and left right after the recording was done.
[21:50] Hon
    I see.
[21:52] Mai
    Wow, it's rare for her to come
    to the recording sessions.
[21:55] Rio
    Yep, and she asked me to give you a message.
[22:01] Rio
    "You managed to become Thunder Woman."
[22:04] Rio
    Does that make sense to you?
[22:09] Hon
    Yes!
[22:10] Har
    Thunder Woman?
[22:12] Mai
    Is that the one you like?
[22:14] Shi
    That's the bat person, right?
[22:17] Hon
    No! That's not her!
[22:20] Hon
    See? She's so cool!
[22:24] Hon
    What matters is what you choose!
