One, two, three, four.
**[00:05] Kir**
One, two, three, four.
**[00:07] Kir**
One, two, three, four.
**[00:10] Kir**
One, two, three, four.
**[00:12] Kir**
One, two, three, four.
**[00:14] Kir**
One, two, three, four.
**[00:15] Chi**
Yuuki didn't show up.
**[00:17] Air**
Maybe her luck for today is really bad,
and she got seriously hurt.
**[00:23] Kir**
And stop!
**[00:25] Kir**
Time to switch.
**[00:26] All**
Thank you very much!
**[00:29] Kir**
Huh?
**[00:31] Kir**
Where is Tendo-san?
**[00:32] Chi**
She's not here yet.
**[00:34] Yuu**
I'm sorry!
**[00:37] Yuu**
For being late!
**[00:38] Air**
Yuuki-chan!
**[00:40] Kir**
Hurry and go get changed.
**[00:42] Air**
Yes, ma'am!
**[00:45] Yuz**
Looks like she wasn't hurt.
**[00:48] Air**
Thank goodness.
***SIGN*** The Bird That Can't Fly
**[02:22] Yuu**
Kirika-sensei was so mad.
**[02:25] Chi**
Did something happen?
**[02:26] Chi**
Why'd you show up so late?
**[02:28] Yuu**
Well, I was helping at my folks'
place, and it was really busy.
**[02:32] Chi**
Must be nice to live close enough
to just hop back home.
**[02:36] Yuu**
I actually have to go back there again.
**[02:39] Air**
You mean right now?
**[02:40] Yuu**
Yeah, right now.
**[02:42] Chi**
Oh, okay...
**[02:44] Yuz**
Hey, then how about we all
go to Yuuki's place to eat?
**[02:48] Chi**
That sounds good.
I've been wanting to eat there.
**[02:51] Air**
So have I.
**[02:53] Chi**
It's decided, then.
**[02:55] Yuz**
Do you think we could manage
to eat everything on the menu?
**[02:58] Yuu**
Oh, sorry. Today's not a good day.
**[03:02] Yuu**
Let's do it another day.
**[03:03] Yuu**
See ya!
**[03:06] Air**
I wonder if it would be
a bother if we went...
**[03:09] Chi**
Because it's too busy?
**[03:11] Yuz**
If it's so busy, they should just
hire more workers. Like 100 or so.
**[03:19] Air**
Yuuki-chan?!
**[03:20] Yuu**
Ow.
**[03:22] Air**
Are you okay?
**[03:23] Yuu**
Yeah... Ow...
**[03:25] Kir**
Don't rush to get up!
**[03:27] Kir**
The pain might develop over time,
so just sit and watch from the side.
**[03:32] Yuu**
Yes, ma'am.
**[03:33] Kir**
The three of you, one more time.
**[03:35] Kir**
One, two, three, four.
**[03:37] Kir**
One, two, three, four.
**[03:39] Kir**
One, two, three, four.
**[03:41] Kir**
One, two, three, four.
**[03:43] Kir**
One, two, three, four.
**[03:45] Kir**
One, two, three, four.
**[04:00] Yuz**
Hey, since we have the day off tomorrow,
want to go shopping together?
**[04:04] Air**
Yeah, I want to go!
**[04:06] Chi**
Sounds great. There's actually
something I wanted to get.
**[04:09] Yuz**
What are you getting, Chisa?
**[04:10] Chi**
I've been thinking of
getting a hat for my sister.
**[04:14] Chi**
Yuuki... How long are you going to stir that?
**[04:18] Yuu**
Natto doesn't taste good
if you don't stir it properly.
**[04:21] Yuu**
You gotta stir it at least 100 times.
**[04:24] Yuu**
That's my dad's—
**[04:26] Chi**
Your dad's what?
**[04:27] Yuu**
Uh...
**[04:29] Yuu**
My dad's teachings.
**[04:32] Yuu**
Okay!
**[04:34] Air**
Yuuki-chan, you can come tomorrow, right?
**[04:36] Yuu**
Huh?
**[04:37] Yuz**
To go shopping.
**[04:39] Chi**
Were you not listening?
**[04:41] Yuu**
Oh, I'll pass.
**[04:43] Air**
You can't come?
**[04:45] Yuu**
I've got something to take care of.
**[04:46] Air**
You're helping out again tomorrow?
**[04:49] Yuu**
Basically.
**[04:51] Yuu**
So just forget I exist and go have fun.
**[04:55] Yuz**
I guess it can't be helped.
**[04:57] Air**
But it's sad that you won't be there.
**[05:01] Yuu**
It's fine.
**[05:03] Yuu**
Don't worry about it.
**[05:05] Yuu**
Anyway, I'm off to help!
**[05:16] Yuz**
How about this one?
**[05:19] Chi**
I'm not getting that for my sister!
**[05:22] Yuz**
Really?
**[05:23] Air**
But it might look good on Yuuki-chan.
**[05:32] Chi**
So true!
**[05:34] Yuz**
It's too bad Yuuki's not here.

**[05:53] Yuu**
Okay!
**[06:05] Yuu**
I'll get ready right away!
**[06:12] Chi**
It's finally in sight.
**[06:14] Yuz**
I'm so tired, though.
**[06:16] Chi**
No whining.
**[06:17] Chi**
Come on, let's go.
**[06:20] Kir**
Footsteps!
**[06:21] Yuu**
Oops!
**[06:23] Air**
These are so yummy!
**[06:25] Yuu**
Really? Well, I'm glad I made them, then.
**[06:29] Air**
I want to eat lots more of them!
**[06:31] Chi**
Hey, Yuuki!
**[06:33] Yuu**
I'm so sorry! I'm really sorry!
**[06:36] Kir**
Are you even interested in doing this?
**[06:39] Yuu**
Of course, squared!
**[06:41] Yuu**
Shall we continue our lesson, then?
**[06:50] Chi**
We're off now.
**[06:52] Rio**
Good work.
**[06:53] Rio**
Your next live show is coming up soon.
**[06:55] Air**
Yeah... it is.
**[06:57] Rio**
Something wrong?
**[06:59] Rio**
Wait, where's Yuuki-chan?
**[07:01] Yuz**
She left earlier.
**[07:03] Chi**
After our practice, she dashed off
saying she had to help at home.
**[07:08] Rio**
I see.
**[07:09] Rio**
Maybe her family's restaurant is super busy.
**[07:12] Rio**
Apparently, it was really
tough to convince her father.
**[07:16] Chi**
Huh?
**[07:17] Air**
Convince him? What do you mean?
**[07:20] Yuz**
Really tough?
**[07:22] Rio**
Wait, you don't know?
**[07:43] Air**
Yuuki-chan?
**[07:46] Yuu**
It's open.
**[07:52] Air**
Are you okay?
**[07:54] Yuu**
Why?
**[07:55] Air**
You just seem so tired.
**[07:59] Yuu**
I'm totally fine.
**[08:01] Yuu**
Though, I guess I am a bit tired.
**[08:04] Yuu**
Huh? What's up? You're all here.
**[08:08] Yuz**
I brought you this.
**[08:09] Yuu**
What's that?
**[08:10] Yuz**
It's tea. It'll alleviate your tiredness.
**[08:14] Yuu**
Oh. That's nice of you. Thank you kindly.
**[08:18] Yuz**
Be careful when you drink it, though.
**[08:19] Yuz**
It'll energize you so much that
you won't be able to sleep.
**[08:22] Yuu**
Really? Is that safe?
**[08:25] Yuz**
Of course.
**[08:27] Yuu**
A tea that energizes you...
**[08:31] Yuu**
Thanks!
**[08:33] Air**
Hey, Yuuki-chan...
**[08:35] Air**
The three of us were talking.
**[08:38] Yuu**
About what?
**[08:39] Air**
Would it be possible for us
to also help at your place?
**[08:44] Yuu**
What?
**[08:45] Chi**
Well, we were hoping that
we could be, you know...
**[08:49] Chi**
a bit of help to you.
**[08:51] Yuu**
Huh?
**[08:52] Yuu**
But how did this even come up?
**[08:55] Yuz**
We heard about you and your father.
**[08:58] Chi**
You could've told us. We're not strangers.
**[09:01] Air**
We want to help you so that you can
focus a bit more on our practices.
**[09:08] Yuz**
So let's do this together, okay, Yuuki?
**[09:13] Yuu**
No, it's not like that.
**[09:15] Yuu**
My dad has nothing to do with it.
**[09:19] Yuu**
So I'm fine.
**[09:21] Yuu**
But I appreciate the thought.
**[09:23] Yuu**
Thank you.
**[09:25] Air**
You sure?
**[09:26] Yuu**
Yeah, totally!
**[09:29] Yuu**
So anyway, time to go.
**[09:32] Yuu**
Let's all go to bed.
**[09:33] Yuu**
Early to bed, early to rise, early to profit.
**[09:36] Chi**
W-Wait, Yuuki...
**[09:38] Air**
Yuuki-chan, if there's anything
we can do to help, let us know.
**[09:43] Yuu**
Sure!
**[09:44] Yuz**
If you say so, then it's all good.
**[09:47] Yuz**
Goodnight.
**[09:48] Chi**
Well, goodnight.
**[09:50] Air**
Yuuki-chan!
**[09:51] Air**
Promise. It's a promise, okay?
**[09:54] Yuu**
Yeah, I got it.
**[09:55] Yuu**
I understand.
**[09:59] Air**
Well, then, goodnight.
**[10:02] Yuu**
Goodnight!
**[10:17] Yuu**
Naïve...
**[10:19] Yuu**
So naïve.
**[10:27] Yuz**
Hey, Airi, what's your first class?
**[10:30] Air**
Physics.
**[10:32] Yuz**
I've got a long-distance run in PE.
**[10:34] Yuz**
I'll show them what our
lessons have done for me.
**[10:37] Chi**
Good morning.
**[10:39] Both**
Morning.
**[10:42] Yuz**
What's up?
**[10:44] Chi**
It's this.
**[10:46] Yuz**
Oh, that's the tea...
**[10:48] Chi**
I found it when I was taking out the trash.
**[10:51] Air**
What?
**[10:53] Chi**
Yuzuha, you didn't throw it out, did you?
**[10:55] Yuz**
Why would I? I gave that one to Yuuki.
**[11:00] Yuz**
It's unopened.
**[11:01] Yuz**
I wonder if she doesn't like it.
**[11:03] Chi**
Then she didn't have to take it.
**[11:05] Chi**
She of all people would openly say it.
**[11:08] Air**
This must be some mistake!
**[11:09] Air**
There's no way Yuuki-chan
would do something like this!
**[11:13] Chi**
But...
**[11:15] Air**
We have to go to Yuuki-chan's room right now!
**[11:18] Chi**
Right now?
**[11:19] Air**
I think things like this have
to be cleared up right away!
**[11:23] Yuz**
Airi is like Yuuki...
**[11:26] Yuu**
What's this?
**[11:27] Yuu**
You're all here together again?
**[11:30] Yuu**
What's up?
**[11:31] Air**
Yuuki-chan, it's just—
**[11:32] Yuz**
You threw this away, right?
**[11:34] Chi**
You wasted no time...
**[11:35] Yuz**
Is it because it's not from here?
**[11:37] Yuz**
Would green tea have been better?
**[11:39] Yuz**
If you have a preference,
just say it up-front.
**[11:42] Chi**
I'm sorry. I happened to see it in the trash.
**[11:46] Air**
Yuuki-chan, you wouldn't do
something like this, would you?
**[11:51] Chi**
You probably threw it out because
something annoyed you, right?
**[11:54] Chi**
I get like that sometimes, too.
**[11:57] Yuz**
I see.
**[11:59] Yuu**
That's not it.
**[12:01] Yuz**
What do you mean?
**[12:02] Air**
If there's something else, we'd like to know.
**[12:05] Air**
I think we could be of help.
**[12:08] Chi**
That's right.
**[12:09] Chi**
Whatever it is, we'll help,
so let's do our best together.
**[12:12] Yuu**
There are things you can't do anything
about by just doing your best!
**[12:19] Chi**
Yuuki, what are you talking about?
**[12:22] Yuu**
It's exactly as I said.
**[12:24] Yuu**
I suck.
**[12:26] Yuu**
I haven't made any progress.
**[12:29] Yuu**
I can't catch up to you guys.
**[12:31] Air**
We're a team. I think we should
find a solution together.
**[12:37] Chi**
She's right, Yuuki. Let's try our best together.
**[12:41] Yuu**
We can only be a team for now.
**[12:44] Yuu**
In the end, we're all on our own.
**[12:46] Chi**
Huh? What are you even saying?
**[12:53] Chi**
If you're not motivated,
why don't you just quit?
**[12:55] Air**
Chisa-chan!
**[12:58] Yuu**
You guys go on without me.
**[13:01] Air**
Yuuki-chan... But why?
**[13:04] Yuz**
Are you serious?
**[13:06] Yuu**
Just leave me alone.
**[13:09] Chi**
I see. Then there's nothing else to discuss.
**[13:19] Yuz**
Yuuki?
**[13:21] Chi**
Let's go.
**[13:22] Air**
But...
**[13:23] Chi**
Come on!
**[13:37] Chi**
I didn't think she was that kind of person!
**[13:40] Yuz**
Oh, Chisa, you're mad?
**[13:42] Chi**
Of course I am!
**[13:43] Chi**
What she said didn't bother you at all, then?!
**[13:47] Yuz**
Of course it bothered me.
**[13:49] Air**
Yuuki-chan... Why?
**[13:53] Yuz**
Hey, Chisa, what's going to happen to Chun×4?
**[13:56] Chi**
She said she's quitting,
so the three of us have to go on.
**[14:00] Air**
That's completely out of the question!
**[14:02] Yuz**
You just had to say that.
**[14:04] Chi**
Well, I did blurt it out without thinking...
**[14:07] Chi**
But still, it's not like Yuuki
can just say whatever she wants.
**[14:12] Yuz**
Oh, is that like when you say,
"Don't dish it if you can't take it"?
**[14:16] Air**
That wasn't like Yuuki-chan at all!
**[14:18] Air**
I mean, Yuuki-chan is always full of energy.
**[14:21] Air**
She's worked so hard as our leader,
**[14:24] Air**
and she's always giving 110%!
**[14:29] Yuz**
Airi...
**[14:30] Air**
The Yuuki-chan right now...
isn't even Yuuki-chan!
**[14:35] Rio**
An impostor?
**[14:37] Air**
Yes! That Yuuki-chan is an impostor!
I'm certain of it!
**[14:41] Chi**
I don't know if it's an impostor,
but Yuuki hasn't quite been herself lately.
**[14:46] Yuz**
She said she was going to quit.
**[14:48] Rio**
Wait, what?!
**[14:49] Chi**
I think it's because I provoked her.
**[14:55] Rio**
I guess Kirika-san has also
mentioned this. But still...
**[15:00] Mas**
I got a message.
**[15:03] Mas**
From Yuuki. She says she'll quit voice acting.
**[15:06] ---**
What?!
**[15:07] Rio**
I wasn't told about this!
**[15:09] Air**
Oh, no.
**[15:10] Chi**
No way.
**[15:12] Yuz**
Oh my God.
**[15:14] Rio**
Masaki-san, what are we going to do?
**[15:17] Mas**
It's her decision.
**[15:18] Rio**
But that's so cold.
**[15:22] Mas**
Even if she did continue, without commitment,
**[15:25] Mas**
it'll be no good for herself or the others.
**[15:27] Air**
Yuuki-chan is fully committed!
**[15:30] Air**
She's always serious, always gives
everything, and never gives up!
**[15:37] Chi**
You're right.
**[15:38] Chi**
If nothing else, she's not someone
to throw the towel partway through.
**[15:42] Yuz**
She's our leader, after all.
**[15:46] Mas**
You believe in her, huh?
**[15:51] Mas**
Yuuki's father... was hospitalized recently.
**[15:57] Mas**
Apparently, it's because
he had overworked himself.
**[16:00] Rio**
So that's what happened.
**[16:02] Mas**
It seems tt Yuuki tried everything
she could to step in for her father,
**[16:07] Mas**
but she told me she reached her
limit trying to do both that and work.
**[16:11] Rio**
It's pretty common in this industry for
people to quit for family reasons, but...
**[16:18] Air**
*Yuuki-chan!*
**[16:20] Chi**
*That idiot. Why didn't she say anything?*
**[16:23] Yuz**
*I guess Yuuki is Yuuki.*
**[16:26] Rio**
It's too bad, but we should
at least get a replacement and—
**[16:32] Air**
There is no replacement!
**[16:33] Rio**
Huh?
**[16:34] Air**
We have to help Yuuki-chan!
**[16:36] Chi**
You said it, Airi!
**[16:37] Rio**
Huh? What?
**[16:38] Yuz**
Let's move!
**[16:40] Chi**
Oh, excuse us.
**[16:41] Yuz**
See you!
**[16:45] Rio**
What should we do?
**[16:47] Mas**
They've turned into a fine team.
**[16:48] Rio**
Huh?
**[17:05] Air**
Yuuki-chan!
**[17:10] Yuz**
We heard the news.
**[17:12] Chi**
That your father got hospitalized.
**[17:14] Air**
Why didn't you tell us?
**[17:17] Yuu**
It's not like telling you
would change anything.
**[17:19] Air**
That's not true. We could help you.
**[17:23] Air**
I'm sure we could!
**[17:25] Chi**
We're only Chun×4 when it's all four of us.
**[17:28] Yuz**
That's right.
**[17:30] Yuu**
It's my fault.
**[17:32] Chi**
Your fault?
**[17:33] Yuz**
It's not your fault that your dad collapsed.
**[17:37] Air**
Yeah, it's not.
**[17:39] Yuu**
No, I was naïve.
**[17:42] Yuu**
I thought, no matter how hard it got,
**[17:44] Yuu**
I could overcome it with
my spirit and toughness.
**[17:48] Yuu**
But when my dad collapsed, it hit me.
**[17:51] Yuu**
I've been nothing but a burden to the agency,
**[17:54] Yuu**
the restaurant, and you guys.
**[17:56] Air**
You haven't been a burden at all!
**[17:59] Chi**
Yeah. What are you talking about?
**[18:01] Yuu**
No! It's all because I was so stubborn!
**[18:05] Yuu**
That's why I realized...
**[18:07] Yuu**
right about here is where my limit is.
**[18:10] Yuu**
I should have left this
place before it came to this.
**[18:15] Yuu**
I'm sorry, guys.
**[18:17] AIr**
Yuuki-chan, no...
**[18:21] Yuu**
Yuzuha, I'm sorry about the tea.
**[18:25] Yuz**
Seriously? That's not what
you're supposed to say right now.
**[18:29] Chi**
Are you really going to quit?
**[18:32] Air**
I don't want that!
**[18:34] Yuz**
Do you want to quit?
**[18:36] Chi**
Yeah, are you okay with that?
**[18:38] Yuu**
Of course I don't want to quit!
**[18:39] Yuz**
Then just don't quit!
**[18:41] Air**
I want to stay together with you!
**[18:45] Yuu**
I feel the same way!
**[18:46] Yuu**
But there's nothing that can be done!
**[18:49] Chi**
There must be something!
**[18:51] Yuu**
What's "something"?!
**[18:52] Yuz**
Something is something!
**[18:53] Air**
Why don't you get it?!
**[18:55] Air**
You're an idiot!
**[18:57] Yuu**
Why am I an idiot?!
**[18:58] AIr**
You're an idiot because you're an idiot!
**[19:00] Yuu**
You're an idiot for calling me an idiot!
**[19:02] Air**
Idiot, idiot!
**[19:04] Both**
Idiot, idiot, idiot!
**[19:15] Mas**
May I have a word?
**[19:18] All**
Masaki-san?
**[19:21] Yuz**
Boss, why are you here?
**[19:23] Mas**
Sorry for the interruption.
**[19:25] Mas**
Yuuki, I went and visited your father.
**[19:29] Yuu**
Huh?
**[19:30] Mas**
I'm glad to see him well.
**[19:32] Mas**
They say he'll be discharged tomorrow.
**[19:34] Yuu**
Yes.
**[19:36] Mas**
And you'll quit trying to become a
voice actress and help at the restaurant?
**[19:42] Mas**
Is that what you want to do?
**[19:47] Mas**
Do you think that's what he wants?
**[19:50] Yuu**
Well, obviously.
**[19:52] Yuu**
He's against me becoming
a voice actress, after all.
**[19:58] Mas**
Yuuki, you didn't tell him about the
live show, or the team, or anything.
**[20:05] Yuu**
Well, I figured that was something
to do after I achieved something.
**[20:10] Mas**
I told your father
**[20:12] Mas**
that you're the one keeping
the team together.
**[20:16] Mas**
You might get ahead of yourself sometimes,
**[20:19] Mas**
but you shine as you try your best every day.
**[20:21] Mas**
I told him about those feats.
**[20:25] Mas**
And then...
**[20:26] (Flashback) Yuuki's Dad**
Please take care of Yuuki.
**[20:32] Mas**
He said that to me.
**[20:35] Yuu**
My dad said that?
**[20:37] Yuu**
But still...
**[20:39] Yuu**
It's not like... I...
**[20:42] Chi**
What do *you* want to do?
**[20:45] Air**
Please tell us how you really feel!
**[20:49] Yuu**
I... I...
**[20:53] Mas**
He also said this:
**[20:55] Mas**
"As long as there are warm
people by her side, I'm happy."
**[21:09] Yuu**
To be honest, I've considered
going home many times.
**[21:14] Yuu**
But I just couldn't give up.
**[21:18] Yuu**
It's not being a voice actress or the work...
**[21:21] Yuu**
I just didn't want to be apart.
**[21:25] Yuu**
That's why...
**[21:26] Yuu**
I want to stay together with them.
**[21:31] Mas**
Then do your best together.
**[21:35] Yuu**
Yes, ma'am.
**[21:38] Air**
Yuuki-chan!
**[21:39] both**
Yuuki!
**[21:40] Air**
I'm so glad!
**[21:43] Chi**
Sheesh. Stop being a troublemaker.
**[21:46] Yuz**
We'll always be together.
**[21:51] Yuu**
Yeah.
**[21:54] Yuu**
All right!
**[21:55] Yuu**
Now that I'm back, you guys
have nothing to worry about!
**[21:59] Yuu**
Just sit back and enjoy the ride!
**[22:02] Mas**
Please keep them safe on your journey.
**[22:06] Yuu**
Sure! Leave it to me!
**[22:09] Yuu**
Only those who promise not to whine,
**[22:12] Yuu**
even if the sea gets really choppy,
may board at this time.
**[22:17] Chi**
Are you talking about yourself there?
**[22:19] Yuz**
Yuuki's ship is my first choice for traveling.
**[22:22] Air**
That means you're the captain, right?
**[22:25] Yuu**
That's right!
**[22:26] Yuu**
Nobody on my ship is gonna be
allowed to hang their head!
**[22:30] Yuu**
We're going to charge ahead full force!
**[22:33] ---**
Yeah!
**[24:08] All**
Next time, "Forever Friends."
