[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    Nursing Robots That Stand by Your Heart
SIGN    Each Jaeger Nursing Robots product is
    built with the utmost care. Our goal
    is to use our technologies to create products

SIGN    Jaeger Technologies Become Your Hands and Legs
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    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...

    If we win today, we'll at least
    take second place in Kanagawa.

    We can attend the East Japan tournament

    For Hiyori-senpai and
    RISE's future, we have to win!

    The first round of the semi-finals is a
    fight that pits newbie against newbie!

    Sumika Maehara, who officially became
    team captain in the second round...

    Saki Kodaka and Lise Kohinata.

    The five-member team, RISE!
[14:28] Announcer
    Michelle Jaeger, who has
    great speed and technique.
[14:31] Announcer
    Ashley Vancroft, with overwhelming power!
[14:34] Announcer
    An unusual team made of these two and
    player robots hand-tuned by them.
[14:40] Announcer
    It's the rock band, Snow Wolf!
[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!
[16:10] Announcer
    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?
[16:54] Lise
    I'm too slow! I'm going to miss this again!
[17:11] Announcer
    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!
