[04:54] Haruka
    Hey, Kanata.
[04:56] Haruka
    It's been a year since I came to
    Okinawa, and a lot has happened.
[05:02] Haruka
    This all started because
    of Narumi-san and Ayasa.
[05:06] Haruka
    Back then, I could tell that
    you loved beach volleyball,
[05:11] Haruka
    and before I knew it, I felt the same way.
[05:16] Haruka
    We both joined the beach volleyball club,
    practiced together,
[05:20] Haruka
    and you guys taught me a lot.
[05:29] Haruka
    Since then, Akari-chan also joined.
[05:33] Haruka
    Claire asked Marissa to be our coach.
[05:39] Haruka
    All the fun we had is all
    that's coming to mind!
[05:44] Haruka
    We always had beach volleyball.
[05:53] Haruka
    I'm so glad beach volleyball
    came into my life!
[05:57] Haruka
    I'm so happy that I got to meet everyone!
[06:05] (Flashback) Claire
    Emily!
[06:09] (Flashback) Emily
    Claire! Finish it!
[06:10] (Flashback) Claire
    Leave it to me!
[06:13] (Flashback) Haruka
    Stop it!
[06:19] (Flashback) Kanata
    Haruka!
[06:30] (Flashback) Kanata
    Nice receive, Haruka!
[06:38] (Flashback) Emily
    I'm counting on you!

    Kanata!

    Got it!

    I want to win!

    that lies beyond here!

    You guys won, so you should be happier!
[09:17] (Flashback) Haruka
    Sorry... and thanks.

    match that I'm exhausted.

    Just leave them be.

    Instead, go see the other girls.

[10:06] Akari
    Congratulations on winning!
[10:09] Haruka
    Thanks...
[10:10] Kanata
    But...
[10:14] Akari
    Hey... I actually have a
    message from Narumi-san.
[10:20] Kanata
    From Narumi-chan?
[10:21] Akari
    Yes.
SIGN    Congratulations on your win... Kanata, Oozora-san, please be happy about your victory.

    Kanata, Oozora-san,
[10:28] Narumi
    please be happy about your victory.
SIGN    Kanata, Oozora-san, please be happy about your victory. For Claire and Emily's sakes.
[10:31] Narumi
    For Claire and Emily's sakes.
[10:38] Kanata
    Yeah... You're right, Narumi-chan.
[10:44] Kanata
    Haruka.
[10:45] Haruka
    Yeah... I know.
[10:48] Haruka
    Thanks, Narumi-san.
[10:58] Emily
    There you are.
[11:01] Claire
    Yeah... We've basically
    been practicing non-stop,
[11:04] ---
    so I felt like I wanted to sit for a sec.
[11:08] Emily
    That's not what you said earlier.
[11:12] Emily
    Where are the drinks?
[11:14] Claire
    Drinks? What do you mean?
[11:21] Emily
    Do you regret that we trained those two?
[11:26] Claire
    Not at all.
[11:28] Emily
    Not even a little?
[11:31] Claire
    Not even a little.
[11:37] Claire
    Because...
[11:38] Claire
    They're the best rivals for us...
[11:41] Claire
    ...and our friends!
[11:49] Emily
    You really are...
[11:52] Emily
    ...my dumb sister.
[12:01] Kanata
    Grandma, do you have the
    thing we asked you for?
[12:04] Sora
    Sure thing.
[12:15] Haruka
    We're heading out!
[12:17] Sora
    Be careful!
[12:19] Kanata
    Thanks for helping us
    prepare everything, Grandma.
[12:23] Sora
    Have a good time!
[12:25] Sora
    Oh, are you heading out, too, Grandpa?
[12:35] Claire
    There, there... Good dog.
[12:54] Claire
    Okay.
[12:58] Claire
    You got a sec?
[13:00] Emily
    What's the matter? We're supposed
     to be leaving soon.
[13:04] Claire
    There's just something I wanted
    to say before we leave.
[13:12] Ayasa
    So in the end, the ones who
    won were Haruka and Kanata.
[13:16] Ayasa
    To think those two would get this far.
[13:20] Narumi
    Yeah...
[13:26] Ayasa
    Narumi?
[13:29] Narumi
    Now Kanata is going to have
[13:30] ---
    to play with the weight of
     those two on her shoulders.
[13:35] Narumi
    That's the responsibility that
    comes with winning, right?
[13:40] Ayasa
    Don't worry.
[13:42] ---
    You guys made a promise, right?

    All right, everyone!
     Let's get this party started!
[13:50] All
    Yeah!
[14:00] Haruka
    You're working really hard!
[14:02] Akari
    I haven't had a beach party since I
    was little, and that one was with my family!
[14:07] Haruka
    I've never even had one!
[14:09] Claire
    We do one every year.
[14:12] Kanata
    We had a lot of them when
     we were in grade school, too.
[14:15] Emily
    That takes me back.
[14:17] Haruka
    Is this what it means...
[14:19] Haruka
    to feel like an outsider?

SIGN    Okinawa
[14:20] Akari
    All right, let's grill these babies up!
[14:22] Kanata
    The chicken looks so good!
[14:23] Claire
    Meat, meat!
[14:25] Emily
    Don't forget the vegetables!
[14:29] Akari
    Hey, are those...
[14:31] Kanata
    Yup!
[14:33] Kanata
    Sea grapes.
[14:34] Kanata
    They're pretty tasty.
[14:37] Akari
    These aren't so bad.
[14:39] Haruka
    I know, right?!
[14:40] Akari
    A-A sea grape got caught in my wind pipe!
[14:44] Haruka
    Akari-chan! S-Someone call an ambulance!
[14:48] Akari
    I-I'm fine!
[14:51] Akari
    Oh, no! The tongs!
[14:52] Haruka
    What?!
[14:56] Claire
    I figured something like this would happen,
[14:58] ---
    so I brought a pair, too. Fret not.
[15:02] Akari
    Why do you have tongs, Claire-san?
[15:05] Haruka
    Don't tell me... that box you brought...
[15:11] Claire
    I thought I'd show you all what it means...
[15:15] Claire
    ...to have a real barbecue!
[15:17] Haruka
    I hope they'll be done soon!
[15:19] Akari
    The size of these cuts is definitely American!
[15:24] Girls
    Woohoo!
[15:32] Emily
    Huh?
[15:33] Akari
    Take that!
[15:37] Akari
    Again, this is really important! Make sure
    every inch of you is covered with sunscreen—

[15:51] Haruka
    What's up, Ayasa?
[15:53] Narumi
    Oozora-san...
[15:55] Haruka
    Narumi-san.
[15:57] Narumi
    Congratulations on your win.
[15:59] Haruka
    Thanks.
[16:17] Haruka
    Don't worry, Narumi-san.
[16:19] ---
    I think Kanata's stronger
    than she was before.
[16:22] Haruka
    Not to mention...
[16:24] Haruka
    I can't lose, either.
[16:27] Narumi
    Thanks. I'm glad you're there, Oozora-san.
[16:31] Narumi
    I'll be waiting for you at nationals.
[16:33] Haruka
    I-I just remembered! You owe us ice cream!
[16:39] Narumi
    I'm surprised you remembered. Sure.
[16:42] Narumi
    The next time I see you, I'll treat
    you to everything in the freezer.
[16:46] Narumi
    See you later.
[16:47] Haruka
    I'll look forward to it. Talk to you later.
SIGN    Tachibana Ayasa
[17:08] Kanata
    Haruka?
[17:10] Haruka
    This feels so strange.
[17:14] Haruka
    I've been practicing ever since I got here.
[17:27] Haruka
    But I never realized how beautiful
    the ocean sounds here.
[17:38] Kanata
    I'm glad you came to live with us, Haruka.
[17:43] Haruka
    Kanata...
[17:46] Kanata
    If it weren't for you, I don't
    think I would've gotten this far.
[17:51] Kanata
    So...
[17:52] Haruka
    But it doesn't end here.
[17:57] Haruka
    We've only just begun.
[18:06] Kanata
    You're right.
[18:12] Akari
    Ah! We're out of drinks!
[18:15] Emily
    Way to ruin the mood.
[18:17] Akari
    I'm so sorry!
[18:19] Kanata
    I'll bring some from home, then.
[18:22] Akari
    I'll go, too!
[18:23] Emily
    I'll help, too.
[18:29] Haruka
    They all left.
[18:33] Claire
    Hey, Haruka, why don't we practice a bit?
[18:38] Haruka
    Sure!
[18:40] Akari
    I think this is the perfect opportunity to
    have Haruka-san drink durian soda! Also...
[18:46] Emily
    Thanks, Akari.
[18:50] Akari
    Emily-san?
[18:51] Emily
    If it weren't for you,
[18:53] ---
    I don't think we'd still be together.
[18:57] Akari
    Th-That's not true...
[18:59] Kanata
    I think I know what you mean.
[19:01] Akari
    Kanata-san...
[19:04] Kanata
    I think the reason we're all
    able to stay together right now
[19:07] Kanata
    is because of these.
[19:11] Kanata
    Thanks, Akari-chan.
[19:21] Akari
    Of course!
[19:23] Emily
    Though I'm not wearing mine today.
[19:26] Akari
    Aw, way to ruin everything!
[19:29] Emily
    You see, Claire...
[19:34] Claire
    To be honest, during that last rally
[19:37] Claire
    I thought the second that Kanata went down,
[19:39] Claire
    we won the match.
[19:42] Claire
    Emily's set was perfect,
[19:45] Claire
    so there was no way we'd lose.
[19:48] Haruka
    Yeah... But that's not how I saw it.
[19:55] Claire
    Why?
[19:58] Haruka
    Because...
[20:00] Haruka
    You're the one who showed me
    how to do that block, Claire.
[20:08] Claire
    I see.
[20:11] Claire
    Thanks, Haruka...
[20:14] ---
    For believing in me.
[20:23] Claire
    So this time, it's my turn
    to believe in you, Haruka.
[20:31] Haruka
    Claire...
[20:33] Claire
    You need to win, Haruka, for our sakes, too.
[20:44] Haruka
    Yeah.
[20:57] Akari
    We're back with the drinks!
    There's plenty to choose from!
[21:03] Haruka
    Let's form a circle!
[21:05] Akari
    Huh? Right now?!
[21:07] Kanata
    Sounds good. Let's do it!
[21:09] Akari
    You, too, Kanata-san?!
[21:11] Claire
    Guess it's settled.
[21:15] Claire
    There isn't much time until the next match.
[21:18] ---
    We're gonna start working
    hard again tomorrow.
[21:20] Emily
    You two beat the second-best in Japan,
[21:22] ---
    so you need to make sure
    you don't embarrass us.
[21:26] Akari
    And I'll be cheering you on even more!
[21:29] Kanata
    Haruka!
[21:30] Haruka
    Yeah!
[21:32] Haruka
    Okay!
[21:33] Haruka
    Everything ended well for now, but let's
     work hard toward the next match!
[21:36] All
    Yeah!
[21:41] Claire
    All right! Bring it!
[21:48] Haruka
    There are two kinds of
    sports in this world.
[21:51] Emily
    Here!
[21:53] Haruka
    Individual sports and team sports.
[21:55] Haruka
    Kanata!
[21:56] Kanata
    Leave it to me!
[21:57] Haruka
    And among team sports, there's a sport
[21:58] Kanata
    Haruka!
[22:00] Haruka
    that you can only play
    with two team members.
[22:03] Haruka
    And that's beach volleyball.
[22:07] Haruka
    On this vast court of sand,
    it's just the two of you.
[22:11] Haruka
    And that's why...
[22:13] Haruka
    We choose our irreplaceable partners!
