Are you cheering on the
Oozora and Higa pair, Mai?
**[02:15] (Flashback) Mai**
Huh?!
**[02:18] (Flashback) Mai**
Th-Th-That's not it!
**[02:20] (Flashback) Mai**
But, I mean, deuces tend to make
things more exciting, Ai-senpai!
**[02:34] (Flashback) Claire**
We're going to take it back, Emily.
**[02:37] (Flashback) Emily**
Of course!

Great matches just get you all worked up!
**[04:25] (Flashback) Ai**

**[04:26] (Flashback) Ai**
But this match really is amazing.
**[04:30] (Flashback) Sora**
It is.
**[04:32] (Flashback) Akari**
You've got this, everyone.
**[04:38] Kanata**
*We'll finish this with our next play.*
**[04:41] Haruka**
*Yeah, I know.*
**[04:47] Emily**
*We're not going to lose.*
**[04:48] Claire**
*The ones who'll be best in Japan...*
**[04:51] Both**

**[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!
**[06:41] (Flashback) Haruka**
Kanata!
**[06:43] (Flashback) Kanata**
Got it!
**[06:45] Haruka**
*I want to win!*
**[06:49] Haruka**
* I want to see the world*
* that lies beyond here!*
**[06:57] Haruka**
*So...*
**[07:10] (Flashback) Claire**
Emily!
**[07:38] Claire**
*Chance ball!*
**[07:39] (Flashback) Claire**
Emily!
**[07:45] (Flashback) Kanata**
I can't get there in time!
**[07:47] (Flashback) Kanata**
Please... Haruka!
**[08:22] (Flashback) Ref**
The winners...
**[08:24] (Flashback) Ref**
...are the Oozora and Higa pair!
**[08:38] (Flashback) Haruka**
Claire...
**[08:46] (Flashback) Claire**
Aw, we lost!
**[08:51] (Flashback) Claire**
That was some block.
**[08:54] (Flashback) Haruka**
Yeah...
**[08:55] (Flashback) Ref**
Line up, please.
**[08:57] (Flashback) Claire**
Be right there!
**[09:07] (Flashback) Haruka**
Claire... I...
**[09:10] (Flashback) Claire**
Come on, you two! Why do you look so down?
**[09:13] (Flashback) Claire**
You guys won, so you should be happier!
**[09:17] (Flashback) Haruka**
Sorry... and thanks.
**[09:20] (Flashback) Claire**
Aw, man... That was such a long
match that I'm exhausted.
**[09:24] (Flashback) Emily**
Claire...
**[09:26] (Flashback) Claire**
I'm gonna go buy some drinks.
**[09:30] (Flashback) Kanata**
Emily...
**[09:32] (Flashback) Emily**
Yeah.
**[09:46] Akari**
Emily-san?
**[09:47] Mai**
Don't.
**[09:49] Akari**
Mai-san...
**[09:51] Mai**
Just leave them be.
**[09:53] Ai**
Yeah.
**[09:54] Ai**
Instead, go see the other girls.
**[10:02] Akari**
Haruka-san! Kanata-san!
**[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.
**[10:24] Narumi**
* Congratulations on your win.*
* 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?

**[13:45] All**
Cheers!
**[13:47] Akari**
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*** Tokyo
***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—
***SIGN*** Tachibana Ayasa
**[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!*
