**[00:01] Hiyori**
With our new member, Lise-chan,
RISE became a group of five.
**[00:06] Hiyori**
We went to the beach as part of May-Bee's TV
show, continued to advance in the tournament,
**[00:11] Hiyori**
and now we're in the semi-finals!
**[00:13] Hiyori**
The opponent for our next match
is Snow Wolf, another new team.
**[00:18] Hiyori**
At the little concert venue below the bridge,
a favorite place I shared with Sa-chan,
**[00:23] Hiyori**
I met someone who was...
**[00:26] Michelle**
Nice to meet you, Hiyori.
I'm Michelle from Snow Wolf.
**[02:03] Michelle**
I watched RISE's games and concerts.
**[02:07] Hiyori**
Thank you!
**[02:08] Hiyori**
I watch Snow Wolf's games and concerts too!
**[02:13] Michelle**
We're your opponents next match, after all.
**[02:16] Michelle**
Did you want to use this stage?
**[02:17] Hiyori**
No, I'm just passing by.
**[02:20] Michelle**
I see.
**[02:26] Hiyori**
Playing the guitar?
**[02:28] Michelle**
Yes.
**[02:30] Michelle**
I'm saying goodbye to this today, so...
**[02:33] Michelle**
I just wanted to play one final song.
**[02:40] Michelle**
Um...?
**[02:41] Hiyori**
Oh, um... May I listen?
**[02:45] Michelle**
I don't mind.
**[03:41] Michelle**
Thanks for listening.
**[03:43] Michelle**
Okay, here's a special extra song.
**[03:46] Michelle**
One of my favorite songs,
and I just learned it recently.
**[03:56] Michelle**
Hiyori Hayama's debut song, right?
**[04:00] Michelle**
It's such a nice song, I had to learn it.
**[04:03] Hiyori**
Thank you very much!
**[04:05] Michelle**
I learned the lyrics, too.
Let's sing together.
**[04:08] Hiyori**
Yes!
**[04:17] Song**
*Through the crowd*
**[04:20] Song**
*I walk along*
**[04:23] Song**
*This lonely road*
**[04:27] Song**
*Deep within my heart*
**[04:30] Song**
*I always embrace this song that I love*
**[04:38] Song**
*Even if the falling rain*
**[04:41] Song**
*Makes the night freeze over*
**[04:45] Song**
*It will glow*
**[04:47] Song**
*This warming courage*
**[04:50] Song**
*Now, on this infinitely long*
**[04:53] Song**
*Endless journey*
**[04:56] Song**
*I won't lose the way*
**[05:02] Song**
*Ever*
**[05:13] Hiyori**
That's so impressive!
You completely memorized it!
**[05:17] Michelle**
I have a good memory.
**[05:19] Michelle**
If it's a good song, I won't
forget it if I listen once.
**[05:24] Michelle**
That was a lot of fun.
**[05:28] Michelle**
I'm sure this guitar is satisfied, too.
**[05:31] Hiyori**
Um, Michelle-san...
**[05:33] Michelle**
Hmm? Just call me Michelle.
**[05:37] Hiyori**
Right. Michelle, why are you
saying goodbye to that guitar?
**[05:42] Michelle**
I have to sell it.
**[05:43] Michelle**
I'm short on cash right now.
**[05:46] Hiyori**
I see...
**[05:48] Michelle**
They told me it's only worth
5,000 yen, so I wasn't sure...
***SIGN*** Purchase Estimate Sheet
**[05:52] Hiyori**
Ah...
**[05:54] Michelle**
But if we had 5,000 yen, we could buy 15 kilos
of rice and maybe a dozen eggs, right?
**[06:00] Michelle**
I have to eat to get ready for the match!
**[06:03] Hiyori**
Right!
**[06:05] Hiyori**
Does that guitar mean a lot to you?
**[06:09] Michelle**
I worked part-time to save up and buy this
before my first time playing on a stage.
**[06:15] Michelle**
It meant a lot... Yeah, I've made
a lot of memories with it.
**[06:20] Hiyori**
It would be sad to let it go.
**[06:23] Michelle**
Yes.
**[06:27] Hiyori**
Michelle!
**[06:28] Hiyori**
Can you wait here for just a moment?
**[06:32] Hiyori**
I'll be back in less than ten minutes!
**[06:36] Hiyori**
Just wait!
**[06:58] Michelle**
Welcome back?
***SIGN*** Kita Nishiki
From Hokkaido
**[07:00] Hiyori**
Yes!
**[07:01] Hiyori**
Here. Fifteen kilos of rice and a dozen eggs.
**[07:04] Hiyori**
I brought them from my house.
**[07:06] Hiyori**
It's to thank you for
your performance. Will you accept?
**[07:10] Michelle**
Hiyori, you're so kind.
**[07:14] Michelle**
But I can't accept so much for
just a two-song improv concert.
**[07:18] Michelle**
So please, hold on to this.
**[07:22] Michelle**
When I get paid, I'll buy some
rice and eggs to pay you back.
**[07:26] Hiyori**
Right.
**[07:27] Michelle**
Thank you, Hiyori. Well—
**[07:31] Michelle**
Whoa!
**[07:32] Hiyori**
Michelle?!
**[07:35] Michelle**
Fifteen kilos is pretty heavy...
**[07:40] Hiyori**
*She's so weak... But so cute.*
**[07:43] Hiyori**
Where do you live? I'll carry it for you.
**[07:51] Michelle**
I'm home.
**[07:52] Ashley**
Hey.
**[08:01] Ashley**
Welcome back. Took you a while.
**[08:04] Ashley**
Hmm? Did you bring a guest?
**[08:06] Hiyori**
Good morning! Excuse me.
**[08:13] Michelle**
This is our next opponent...
**[08:15] Hiyori**
Hiyori Hayama from RISE.
**[08:16] Ashley**
Ah. I'm Ashley Vancroft. Nice to meet you.
**[08:21] Hiyori**
Nice to meet you, too!
**[08:23] Ashley**
So, what brings you here?
**[08:26] Michelle**
It's a long story.
**[08:29] Ashley**
I see, so that's why Hiyori brought food.
**[08:33] Michelle**
Yes.
**[08:34] Ashley**
Thanks, Hiyori. Both Michelle and I eat a lot.
**[08:38] Ashley**
It costs a ton of money to keep us fed.
**[08:40] Hiyori**
I get it. My team and I also
eat a lot after practice.
**[08:48] Hiyori**
Have you two lived here for a long time?
**[08:50] Ashley**
This was originally Michelle's place.
I'm just squatting.
**[08:55] Michelle**
I'm staying in Japan to
study robotic engineering.
**[08:59] Michelle**
My family runs a nursing care
robot development company.
***SIGN*** Company Overview
Jaeger Nursing Robots is a robot development
company with its headquarters in Germany.
**[09:04] Hiyori**
I see.

***SIGN*** Product Information
**[09:07] Michelle**
We also make prosthetic limbs for
people who've lost arms and legs
**[09:10] Michelle**
due to accidents and illnesses, so that
they can enjoy life and play sports.
**[09:16] Michelle**
I've been helping test them
from a very young age.
**[09:20] Michelle**
That's how I ended up being
pretty good at every sport.
**[09:22] Hiyori**
I see.
**[09:24] Ashley**
I'm also in Japan to get a
license to be a robot mechanic.
**[09:28] Ashley**
Not the development side, though. Maintenance.
**[09:31] Michelle**
Ashley and I met at the robot
factory where I work part-time.
**[09:38] Ashley**
I'm a mechanic, and Michelle is in R&D.
**[09:42] Ashley**
I thought she was an elite
from a rich family, but...
**[09:46] (Flashback) Ashley**
What are you doing?
**[09:49] (Flashback) Michelle**
I'm too hungry. I can't move.
**[09:54] Ashley**
I didn't realize she was
on such a tight budget.
**[09:58] Michelle**
My family company isn't very big at all.
**[10:01] Michelle**
Since they paid to send
me to Japan to study,
**[10:04] Michelle**
I thought I should at least make
enough money to feed myself.
**[10:11] Ashley**
And so, when she ran out of food,
**[10:13] Ashley**
I passed by and helped her,
and that's how it started.
**[10:16] Hiyori**
I see.
**[10:17] Hiyori**
Hmm? Then what about music and
Extreme Hearts? When did you pick them up?
**[10:21] Ashley**
Well, we started hanging out at work,
and then outside work too.
**[10:28] Ashley**
I always loved music, so I taught
her how to play the guitar.
**[10:33] Ashley**
She got hooked instantly.
**[10:35] Michelle**
Playing guitar and singing is so much fun!
**[10:37] Hiyori**
I know!
**[10:41] Ashley**
We started playing at small
concert venues for fun.
**[10:44] Ashley**
People started to like our music too.
**[10:47] Ashley**
That's when we heard about Extreme Hearts.
**[10:51] Ashley**
Michelle is good at pretty much every sport.
**[10:54] Michelle**
Yeah.
**[10:54] Ashley**
I have strength and stamina.
**[10:58] Michelle**
If we work well with our robots,
it would be good PR for us, too.
**[11:03] Ashley**
If we won, we'd get a prize!
**[11:06] Michelle**
We felt it was the perfect
event for us. So, we joined.
**[11:10] Hiyori**
So that's how it went.
**[11:13] Michelle**
All of our girls are the latest models
from my family company, fully tuned up.
**[11:19] Michelle**
Thankfully, they do great in games, but...
**[11:22] Ashley**
We have to pay for the parts and everything,
so they cost a ton of money.
**[11:31] Michelle**
We haven't officially launched
our music career yet either,
**[11:33] Michelle**
so that comes out of our pockets, too.
**[11:37] Hiyori**
I totally get it...
**[11:39] Ashley**
Thanks to that, we can only
eat eggs, bean sprouts, and meat bits.
***SIGN*** Bean Sprouts

When we come across the rare
discount sausage, we're in for a treat!
**[11:47] Michelle & Ashley**
Yay! Yay!
***SIGN*** Smoked
Sausages
**[11:51] Hiyori**
I've so been there!
**[11:53] Michelle**
But to be honest,
**[11:55] Michelle**
it's a miracle that two newbies and
a bunch of robots made it this far.
**[12:01] Ashley**
The event stage was super fun, too.
**[12:04] Michelle**
Yes.
**[12:08] Michelle**
But we want to keep climbing higher, so...
**[12:10] Michelle**
We won't lose to you either, RISE!
**[12:13] Hiyori**
Right!
**[12:17] Hiyori**
See you at the game!
**[12:19] Michelle**
Yes!
**[12:20] Ashley**
Take care.
**[12:21] Hiyori**
I will!
**[12:27] Ashley**
Hiyori is a good kid.
**[12:29] Michelle**
Yes.
**[12:30] Ashley**
Is that why you didn't tell her?
**[12:33] Ashley**
That this could be our first
and last Extreme Hearts?
**[12:39] Michelle**
If we don't become
the Kanagawa representatives,
**[12:42] Michelle**
we give up on trying to
become professional musicians.
**[12:45] Michelle**
That's what we decided.
**[12:51] Michelle**
Working with robots is our real job.
**[12:54] Michelle**
That's why we're in Japan, after all.
**[12:58] Michelle**
RISE is a good team. They work so
hard on the field and the stage.
**[13:04] Michelle**
That's why I want to face them head-on.
**[13:06] Ashley**
Yeah.
**[13:11] Ashley**
We'll use everything we have to crush them.
**[13:13] Ashley**
And we'll get to enjoy our
dream a little longer!
**[13:17] Ashley**
Let's win!
**[13:18] Michelle**
Oof!
**[13:20] Ashley**
Oh, my bad...
**[13:21] Ashley**
You really are weak.
**[13:24] Michelle**
You need to learn to control yourself...

**[14:43] Emi**
Let's study RISE and Snow Wolf
to prepare for next year.
**[14:50] NaO**
I'd like RISE to win here.
**[14:52] RiN**
Who knows? Maybe they'll lose.
**[14:55] Aiko**
Hmm...
**[14:56] Emi**
Why do you think so?
**[15:00] RiN**
Simply put? Their opponent is tough.
**[15:03] RiN**
And...
**[15:04] RiN**
They're putting too much
pressure on themselves.
**[15:08] Announcer**
* Snow Wolf's #9, Michelle,*
* begins the match with a serve!*
**[15:41] Saki**
That spin is incredible.
**[15:42] Sumika**
Vertical *and* horizontal spin...
I have to watch close.
**[15:51] Sumika**
*No spin that time?!*
**[15:52] Announcer**
*Michelle scores four points in a row!*
**[15:55] Announcer**
*RISE can't catch up to the ball.*
**[15:58] Sumika**
First, we gotta stop them. We've gotta stop their serve.
**[16:00] All**
Right!
**[16:05] Saki**
*This won't get through!*

*Ashley lands a powerful spike!*
**[16:14] Yukino**
*We have to stop their streak.*
**[16:17] Nono**
Girls...
**[16:18] RiN**
Kohinata and Tachibana have no experience
playing volleyball in a real match.
**[16:23] RiN**
They had to go to TV recordings
and practice for the stage.
**[16:25] RiN**
They probably didn't get to spend
100% of their time practicing.
**[16:30] RiN**
The two starting members' prime goal
was to perform Hayama's song on stage.
**[16:35] RiN**
They were too focused on the finals,
not on the game at hand.
**[16:38] Announcer**
* The first set ends 12-0,*
* with a huge lead for Snow Wolf!*
**[16:43] Announcer**
*Can RISE strike back?*

*RISE's Hayama attacks from the back row!*
**[17:18] Announcer**
*But this one is out of bounds! No score!*
**[17:21] Hiyori**
I missed. But I'll land the next one!
**[17:24] Michelle**
Hiyori...
**[17:27] Lise**
*That's right. I'm the libero.*
**[17:29] Lise**
* I have to receive her serves.*
* Otherwise, we have no game plan.*
**[17:31] Saki**
*I'm not focused.*
**[17:34] Yukino**
* In sports like volleyball and basketball where*
* jumping is important, Hiyori-san is our ace.*
**[17:39] Sumika**
* What good is a captain, a commander,*
* who can't even play the ace's part right?*
**[17:44] Saki**
*Forget about the finals and the other stuff.*
**[17:47] Yukino**
*This game, this opponent...*
**[17:50] Lise**
*This demands 120% of my full focus!*
**[17:53] Sumika**
RISE, fight!
