[00:05] Akane
    Hey there, everyone!
[00:07] Kokomi/Emi/Marika/Rino/Matsuri
    Hello.
[00:09] Akane
    Today, we've left the broadcast room to
    bring you "Attacking the School's Hottest!"
[00:14] Akane
    from the classroom of Kokomi Shiina-san,
    a student who made waves a while back.
[00:20] Akane
    Shiina-san, we're down to less than
    two weeks before the nationals.
[00:24] Kokomi
    Yeah.
[00:25] Emi
    I'm so nervous, it's like I'm competing myself.
[00:28] Matsuri
    It's so exciting.
[00:30] Akane
    As you can tell, everyone from
    her class is pretty psyched, too.
[00:34] Rino
    Being in the nationals is pretty amazing.
[00:38] Matsuri
    Shiina-san, we're rooting for you.
[00:40] Emi
    Make sure you place!
[00:42] Emi
    Fight!
[00:43] Marika
    Try not to get hurt, but do your best.
[00:46] Akane
    So, Shiina-san...
[00:48] Kokomi
    Hm?
[00:48] Akane
    Tell us your thoughts looking
    ahead to the tournament.
[00:51] Kokomi
    Well, I'd like to make sure
    I don't make any mistakes
[00:55] Kokomi
    during my performance, and score high.
[00:58] Rino
    Kokomi-chan is amazing!
[01:00] Emi
    You can do it, Kokomi-chan!
[01:02] Akane
    This has been Akane Sakurai,
    coming at you from Class 2-B!
SIGN    On the Other Side of the Cream Soda
[03:03] R
    Here you go, Shiina-senpai.
[03:06] Kokomi
    Thank you.
[03:10] Ema
    You didn't make any major mistakes.
[03:12] Ema
    If you keep that up, I think
    you'll be able to score well.
[03:16] Kokomi
    Thank you.
[03:18] Ema
    Also, about what we were discussing before...
[03:22] ---
    Yes?
[03:23] Ema
    How about increasing the difficulty of the
    combos in the middle of your routine?
[03:27] Ema
    You're getting almost everything
    right during practice.
[03:29] Ema
    I think you can do it, Shiina-san.
[03:32] Kokomi
    Yeah, but I can only get it
    right about 80% of the time.
[03:36] Kokomi
    I'm not sure if I want to try
    that during the tournament.
[03:40] Ema
    But you can do it.
[03:41] Ema
    I think it'd be a waste if you
    didn't at least give it a try.
[03:45] Kokomi
    Give it a try?
[03:47] Ema
    Now that you've come this far,
[03:49] Ema
    don't you want to try hard to place?
[03:51] Kokomi
    Yeah, but...
[03:53] Ema
    Everyone's afraid of making mistakes.
[03:56] Ema
    But I get the feeling you're being a bit
     too cautious with your performances.
[04:01] Kokomi
    Huh?
[04:02] Ema
    There's a deadline for your application,
[04:05] Ema
    so think it over,
[04:06] Ema
    and decide by the start of the week.
[04:09] Kokomi
    Okay.
[04:15] (Flashback) Ema
    I think it'd be a waste if you
    didn't at least give it a try.
[04:19] Kokomi
    Give it a try, huh?
[04:24] Nonoka
    There we go.
[04:27] Nonoka
    Hm?
[04:27] Nonoka
    Kokomi-chan?
[04:30] (Flashback) Ema
    Everyone's afraid of making mistakes.
[04:33] Kokomi
    Maybe I started to fear making
    mistakes without even realizing it.
[04:39] Nonoka
    Hey, Kokomi-chan!
[04:42] (Flashback) Ema
    I get the feeling you're
    being a bit too cautious.
[04:45] Kokomi
    That means there's nothing interesting
    about my performances, doesn't it?
[04:48] Nonoka
    Kokomi-chan.
[04:52] Kokomi
    S-Sasahara-senpai.
[04:54] Nonoka
    You were practicing pretty late.
[04:57] Nonoka
    You must be tired.
[04:58] Kokomi
    N-Nah.
[05:00] Kokomi
    Huh?
[05:01] Kokomi
    You're closed already?
[05:03] Nonoka
    Yeah,
[05:04] Nonoka
    my grandpa hurt his back, so...
[05:07] Kokomi
    His back?
[05:09] Nonoka
    He threw out his back.
[05:10] Nonoka
    It happens all the time these days.
[05:13] Nonoka
    When he stands up, he yells, "Ugh!"
    And then he can't move.
[05:17] Kokomi
    That sounds painful.
[05:20] Nonoka
    What about you, Kokomi-chan? What's wrong?
[05:22] Nonoka
    I kept calling you and you didn't notice.
[05:25] Nonoka
    Did you forget who I was?
[05:27] Kokomi
    S-Sorry.
[05:29] Nonoka
    I was just kidding.
[05:31] Nonoka
    I thought you might have been
    worried about something.
[05:35] Nonoka
    You okay?
[05:36] Kokomi
    I was just thinking about something.
[05:39] Nonoka
    I see...
[05:41] Nonoka
    It's almost time for the tournament, isn't it?
[05:43] Kokomi
    Yeah.
[05:44] Nonoka
    Oh, can I come and cheer you on?
[05:46] Kokomi
    Y-You don't have to, really!
[05:49] Nonoka
    I'll be looking forward to it.
[05:57] Kokomi
    Sasahara-senpai is always so wonderful.
[06:01] Kokomi
    I don't want to do something
    dumb while she's watching.
[06:05] Kokomi
    Maybe it'd be safer to just
    keep my routine the way it is.

[06:50] Akane
    Uh-oh! That was an unfortunate error by Shiina!
[06:59] Kokomi
    What?!
[07:01] Akane
    Yikes! Another error for Shiina!
[07:06] Akane
    And now for her scores.
[07:09] Marika
    Buzz.
[07:10] Emi
    X.
[07:11] Rino
    Bzzz.
[07:12] Marezou
    Nope.
[07:32] Kokomi
    Marezou-san, don't scare me like that.
[07:39] (Flashback) Ema
    Everyone's afraid of making mistakes.
[07:43] Kokomi
    I even had a dream about it.
[07:47] Kokomi
    Maybe I'm worrying too much.
[07:49] D
    So, did you make this bread yourself, honey?
[07:53] M
    That's right.
[07:54] M
    It's the first time I've tried it. How is it?
[07:58] D
    It's good.
[07:59] D
    Right, Kokomi?
[08:01] (Flashback) Ema
    I think it'd be a waste if you
    didn't at least give it a try.
[08:05] Kokomi
    Don't think about it,
[08:06] Kokomi
    don't think about it.
[08:08] D
    Kokomi?
[08:10] Kokomi
    Thanks for breakfast.
[08:11] M
    You're done?
[08:13] Kokomi
    Yeah.
[08:13] Kokomi
    I have morning practice.
[08:19] D
    Did I say something wrong?
[08:35] Erena
    Her expression's so stiff...
[08:38] Kokomi
    Mochizuki-senpai...
[08:39] Erena
    Maybe it's because your competition is soon?
[08:42] Erena
    It's like you're being more cautious...
[08:46] (Flashback) Ema
    I get the feeling you're
    being a bit too cautious.
[08:51] Chloe
    Erena-san?
[08:52] Chloe
    Are you bugging Kokomi-san again?
[08:55] Chloe
    You're sneaking around taking
    pictures like a shinobi.
[08:59] Erena
    I'm a lady, so you could at least call me a kunoichi.
[09:04] Chloe
    Oh, a kunoichi!
[09:06] Chloe
    A female ninja! How cool!
[09:09] Chloe
    Nin nin! Poof!
[09:11] Kokomi
    I'm not worrying about it.
[09:13] Both
    Kokomi-chan?
[09:15] Kokomi
    No, it's nothing.
[09:23] R
    Wow!
[09:24] Emi
    Okay, this is my first time trying this!
[09:28] Emi
    I'm going to juggle with six balls.
[09:37] ---
    Ow! Ow! Ow!
[09:39] ---
    Oops...
[09:43] Emi
    I failed!
[09:44] Emi
    And I only have a little while
    left before the big event...
[09:49] Kokomi
    I only have a little while left
    before my tournament, too.
[09:53] Emi
    Kokomi-chan!
[09:54] Kokomi
    Huh?
[09:55] Emi
    I messed up a little bit,
[09:56] Emi
    but where do you think I need to improve?
[09:59] Kokomi
    I wasn't really watching.
[10:01] Kokomi
    Sorry.
[10:02] Emi
    Okay.
[10:03] Emi
    If you notice anything I can fix, tell me anytime.
[10:07] Kokomi
    Sure.
[10:08] Emi
    I need to practice a bit more.
[10:13] Marika
    Kokomi-chan.
[10:14] Kokomi
    Huh?
[10:15] Marika
    What are you doing for lunch?
[10:17] Marika
    I'm going to buy some yakisoba bread.
[10:19] Marika
    Want to come with me?
[10:23] Kokomi
    I should eat a melon bun to cheer myself up.
[10:27] Kokomi
    Sure.
[10:33] Marika
    You seemed kind of down.
[10:36] Marika
    Are you okay?
[10:37] Kokomi
    Oh, um... I think I'm just hungry.
[10:42] Marika
    You got two melon buns.
[10:44] Marika
    You must have been starving.
[10:47] Marika
    Huh?
[10:49] ---
    What's Sasahara-senpai doing?
SIGN    Part-time jobs
[10:53] Both
    Part-time jobs?
[10:55] Nonoka
    Hm?
[10:56] Nonoka
    That's right.
[10:57] Nonoka
    My grandpa can't move very well,
[10:59] Nonoka
    so we decided to look for someone
    who can help out on the weekends.
[11:02] Kokomi
    Can you hold these?
[11:04] Kokomi
    Give it here, Sasahara-senpai.
[11:07] Nonoka
    I'm a little worried,
[11:09] Nonoka
    but there are customers who
    look forward to visiting us,
[11:12] Nonoka
    so I was thinking of giving it a try myself.
[11:15] Kokomi
    Sounds like a lot of work.
[11:17] Nonoka
    Well, I'm sure it'll work out.
[11:20] Kokomi
    All done.
[11:21] Nonoka
    You're so great, Kokomi-chan!
[11:23] Nonoka
    It's up so straight and even.
[11:24] Kokomi
    It's nothing.
[11:25] Nonoka
    I'm not very coordinated,
    so this helps me out a lot.
[11:32] Marika
    Maybe I'll give it a try.
[11:35] Marika
    You wanna give it a try, too, Kokomi-chan?
[11:37] Kokomi
    Huh?
[11:38] Nonoka
    Really?
[11:39] Nonoka
    That'd be great!
[11:40] Kokomi
    S-Saeki-san!
[11:42] Marika
    This is a good chance for you and
    Sasahara-senpai to get closer.
[11:46] Nonoka
    It'd be so much help if you both came!
[11:50] Kokomi
    If I stayed home, I'd just be worrying
    about my rhythmic gymnastics.
[11:54] Kokomi
    Helping Sasahara-senpai might
    take my mind off things.
[11:59] Kokomi
    Well, if you think I'd be able to help...
[12:03] Nonoka
    Thank you, Kokomi-chan!

    Michiru Tomura from Class 2-C.
[12:19] Michiru
    I have a few part-time jobs already,
[12:21] Michiru
    so just leave it all to me...
    Or something like that!
[12:24] Marika
    Marika Saeki from Class 2-B.
[12:27] Kokomi
    Kokomi Shiina from the same class.
[12:29] Michiru
    I know you.
[12:31] Michiru
    You're the rhythmic gymnastics ace.
[12:33] Michiru
    The heroine of the school, right?
[12:35] Kokomi
    That's not...
[12:36] Michiru
    I've always wanted to try
    cosplaying in a leotard.
[12:41] Kokomi
    Cosplaying?
[12:43] Nonoka
    It'll be nice to work with you
    all today and tomorrow.
[12:47] All
    Right.
[12:48] Nonoka
    Tomura-san, you have a lot
    of experience working,
[12:51] Nonoka
    so could you help me in the kitchen?
[12:54] Michiru
    Roger!
[12:55] Nonoka
    Kokomi-chan and Marika-chan,
[12:56] ---
    could I ask you to be waitresses?
[12:59] All
    Sure!
[13:01] Kokomi
    Two cream sodas, please.
[13:04] Nonoka
    Okay!
[13:09] Nonoka
    All right.
[13:12] Nonoka
    Thanks for waiting.
[13:14] Kokomi
    Th-This is...
[13:16] Nonoka
    Cream soda?
[13:18] Marika
    You had to phrase it like a question yourself?
[13:21] Nonoka
    I might have messed up a little bit.
[13:23] Michiru
    Wh-What did you mess up to get that?
[13:26] Nonoka
    I tried putting in a secret ingredient!
[13:29] Michiru
    You don't need to put that in there!
[13:31] Michiru
    It's not secret at all now!
[13:32] Nonoka
    I can't?
[13:34] Michiru
    I'm going to make it again.
[13:39] Kokomi
    Sasahara-senpai said she wasn't
    very coordinated, but...
[13:49] Kokomi
    I think it's more like she's...
[13:51] Kokomi
    extremely,
[13:52] Kokomi
    completely,
[13:53] Kokomi
    totally,
[13:55] Kokomi
    entirely...
[14:00] Kokomi
    uncoordinated in every way.
[14:02] Nonoka
    I'm sorry!
[14:04] Michiru
    Senpai, why do you want to keep
     trying to do this stuff when you can't?
[14:07] Nonoka
    Because it's cool!
[14:10] Nonoka
    Don't you want to try it?
[14:12] Marika
    Yeah, but you're taking on too much.
[14:15] Nonoka
    You don't know if you can do
    something unless you try.
[14:20] Kokomi
    She looks like she's having a lot of fun.
[14:22] Kokomi
    I guess that's what it means to try
    things without being afraid of failing.
[14:28] Kokomi
    Thank you.
[14:32] Marika
    Kokomi-chan, you forgot the change.
[14:34] Kokomi
    Huh?
[14:35] Kokomi
    Oh, no!
[14:40] Kokomi
    Excuse me!
[14:46] Kokomi
    I'm really, really sorry.
[14:50] Nonoka
    You don't have to apologize that much.
[14:53] Marika
    The customer wasn't really mad, either, right?
[14:56] Michiru
    You worry too much, Shiina-san.
[14:58] Kokomi
    But, because I messed up,
[15:01] ---
    I caused trouble for all of you...
[15:04] Nonoka
    Why don't we take a break?
[15:07] Nonoka
    You're tired too, right, Kokomi-chan?
[15:09] All
    Agreed.
[15:15] Marika
    I guess even you mess up sometimes, Kokomi-chan.
[15:18] Marika
    I feel better now.
[15:19] Michiru
    It's your first time being a waitress,
[15:21] Michiru
    and you're perfect.
[15:24] Kokomi
    Thanks for trying to cheer me up.
[15:27] Michiru
    I'm serious.
[15:28] Marika
    Come on, eat some cookies and cheer up!
[15:32] Nonoka
    Thanks for waiting.
[15:33] Nonoka
    It's the Café Cosmos special blend.
[15:37] Nonoka
    Have some.
[15:39] Michiru
    You made this?
[15:43] Nonoka
    You're silly.
[15:45] Nonoka
    Who else would have?
[15:50] Marika
    The color looks normal.
[15:52] Nonoka
    Come on, guys. Trust me.
[15:56] Kokomi
    It smells good.
[16:00] Kokomi
    This is really good!
[16:04] All
    It's good!
[16:06] Nonoka
    Coffee is what makes a café.
[16:09] Nonoka
    I worked hard to learn how to make it.
[16:12] Kokomi
    So you practiced a lot.
[16:15] Nonoka
    I messed up lots of times, though.
[16:18] Nonoka
    I'm not good at cooking and the like.
[16:20] Nonoka
    I'm not good with ceramics, either.
[16:23] Nonoka
    It always takes me longer to get things right.
[16:27] Kokomi
    You're able to make coffee
    this good now, though.
[16:31] Kokomi
    That's great.
[16:32] Nonoka
    Thank you.
[16:34] Nonoka
    Since I messed up so many times,
[16:36] Nonoka
    it makes me even happier to hear you say so.
[16:39] Marika
    It's failure that leads to success.
[16:42] Marika
    Every dilemma is a chance.
[16:43] Nonoka
    If you fall, just get back up.
[16:45] Nonoka
    It feels like I'm always falling, though.
[16:59] M
    Why are you up this late?
[17:02] Kokomi
    There's something I wanted to think
    over for my tournament routine.
[17:06] M
    Don't push yourself too hard.
[17:09] M
    Both your dad and I
[17:11] ---
    want you to have fun more than
    we want you to score high.
[17:16] Kokomi
    Thank you, Mom.
[17:22] Kokomi
    It's failure that leads to success.
[17:27] Kokomi
    Every dilemma is a chance.
SIGN    Routine Plan
[17:31] Kokomi
    If you fall, just get back up.
[17:33] Kokomi
    I'd be happy if I did something
    risky and won, but...
[17:43] Kokomi
    Marezou-san, do you think I can do it?
[18:01] Emi
    Kokomi-chan, good morning!
[18:04] Kokomi
    Oh, Sagara-san.
[18:07] Kokomi
    Good morning.
[18:08] Kokomi
    Are you headed out somewhere?
[18:10] Emi
    I have an event at the shopping district.
[18:12] Emi
    I'm doing a street performance.
[18:14] Emi
    But my juggling success rate
    is still only about half.
[18:19] Emi
    I'm so nervous!
[18:21] Kokomi
    Yeah, that's nerve-wracking.
[18:23] Emi
    Well, you just gotta give it your best shot.
[18:26] Kokomi
    You're not afraid of failing?
[18:29] Emi
    Huh?
[18:30] Emi
    Sure, I am.
[18:33] Emi
    I don't think there's anyone
    who isn't afraid of failing.
[18:37] Kokomi
    Oh, Sagara-san, I didn't
    get to say it before, but...
[18:41] Kokomi
    If you focus on throwing the
    balls instead of catching them,
[18:44] Kokomi
    you won't mess up, I think.
[18:46] Emi
    I see!
[18:48] Emi
    I'll try it.
[18:49] Emi
    See you later!
SIGN    Café Cosmos
[18:58] Kokomi
    Good morning.
[18:59] Nonoka
    Good morning, Kokomi-chan.
[19:02] Kokomi
    What happened with these?
[19:05] Nonoka
    You caught me.
[19:07] Nonoka
    I wanted to try practicing on my
    own before everyone got here.
[19:12] Nonoka
    It's hard making a cream soda, though.
[19:14] Nonoka
    I'm following the recipe to the letter,
[19:17] Nonoka
    but it's just not going right.
[19:19] Nonoka
    Don't you think this one is good, though?
[19:25] Kokomi
    Oh. It's close.
[19:26] Kokomi
    It's really close to cream soda.
[19:29] Nonoka
    But you won't say it tastes good?
[19:31] Kokomi
    But still, it's amazing you were
    able to get this good so quickly.
[19:37] Nonoka
    So I'm not there yet...
[19:39] Nonoka
    Too bad.
[19:40] Nonoka
    All right!
[19:41] Nonoka
    I'm going to keep practicing until
    I make a cream soda you like!
[19:47] Kokomi
    How can you keep working
    so hard, Sasahara-senpai?
[19:51] Nonoka
    Hmm...
[19:53] Nonoka
    It's because I really love this café, I guess.
[19:57] Kokomi
    I was told I should try a new
    move in the tournament.
[20:02] Kokomi
    I need to decide by tomorrow,
[20:04] Kokomi
    but I'm not sure what to do.
[20:07] Kokomi
    I love rhythmic gymnastics, but...
[20:11] Nonoka
    You're scared of giving it a try?
[20:14] Kokomi
    Yes.
[20:15] Nonoka
    Actually, I wanted to try making
    cream soda because of you.
[20:21] Kokomi
    Huh?
[20:21] Nonoka
    You said my coffee was good, right?
[20:24] Nonoka
    I realized it when you told me I might
    be able to do it if I practiced.
[20:30] Nonoka
    I didn't think I'd get good immediately, of course,
[20:33] Nonoka
    but I knew I'd get nowhere if
    I just gave up before I started.
[20:39] Nonoka
    Maybe you're just convinced
    there's no way you can pull it off.
[20:43] Kokomi
    That might be it.
[20:45] Nonoka
    Is the move that difficult?
[20:48] Kokomi
    I'm only able to get it right
    80% of the time in practice.
[20:51] Nonoka
    What?
[20:52] Nonoka
    Then you only have 20% more
    to go before it's perfect!
[20:55] Kokomi
    Yeah.
[20:56] Nonoka
    I'm starting from zero over here!
[21:02] Kokomi
    You really are amazing, Sasahara-senpai.
[21:06] Kokomi
    I'll keep trying until I can get it.
[21:08] Kokomi
    You're right. I only have 20% to go, don't I?
[21:12] Nonoka
    Good work.
[21:15] Kokomi
    Sasahara-senpai...
[21:16] Nonoka
    Do it the way you want to.
[21:19] Nonoka
    That's the best thing.
[21:20] Kokomi
    Yeah.
[21:21] Nonoka
    All right...
[21:22] Nonoka
    Let's have a toast to you
    getting out of your slump
[21:26] Nonoka
    with some cream soda.
[21:28] Both
    Cheers!
[21:32] Nonoka
    Hey, Kokomi-chan.
[21:33] Nonoka
    That's the one I messed up on.
[21:36] Nonoka
    Kokomi-chan, you're so silly...
[21:41] Michiru
    Good morning!
[21:43] Michiru
    What's this? You guys sure are
    in high spirits this morning.
[21:47] Marika
    Did something funny happen?
[21:50] Nonoka
    It's our secret.
[21:52] Kokomi
    Right.
[21:57] Kokomi
    Sensei,
