[03:15] Claire
    I wouldn't go that far.
[03:18] Claire
    But I mean...
[03:20] Claire
    Like this.
[03:23] Haruka
    They're idols!
[03:26] Akari
    Aren't the Valkyries of the Beach amazing?
[03:29] Akari
    I want to become a popular
    player like Narumi-san.
[03:33] Kanata
    And that's why you started
     playing beach volleyball?
[03:36] Akari
    Yes!
[03:36] Akari
    If I become one of the Valkyries of
    the Beach, I'm basically an idol!
[03:40] Akari
    When I get interviewed by
    TV shows and magazines,
[03:42] ---
    I'll be the most popular kid in school!
[03:45] Akari
    Then maybe a photobook followed
    by my debut as a musical artist...
[03:50] Kanata
    Something seems off here.
[03:52] Kanata
    So I guess we'll start you off
     on a trial membership.
[03:56] Akari
    No! I'm going to join!
[03:58] Akari
    As proof...
[04:00] Akari
    I even bought a swimsuit!
[04:03] Kanata
    Y-You sure are enthusiastic.
[04:06] Akari
    Of course!
[04:09] Kanata
    By the way, I've been wondering...
[04:13] Kanata
    Have we met before?
[04:19] Akari
    I-I went to watch the Okinawa
    Junior Tournament the other day,
[04:23] ---
    so maybe you saw me there.
[04:32] Kanata
    Claire...
[04:34] Claire
    Heya... Oh?
[04:37] Claire
    Kanata and... Who might you be?
[04:39] Kanata
    This is Ooshiro-san.
[04:40] Akari
    I'm Ooshiro Akari.
[04:42] Kanata
    She wants to join the club.
[04:43] Claire
    Seriously?!
[04:51] Claire
    Th-The day has finally arrived.
[04:53] Claire
    The day where we can officially
    have a beach volleyball club...
[04:56] Akari
    Huh? This is the beach
    volleyball club, right?
[05:00] Claire
    Somewhat. We're basically treated
    as part of the volleyball club.
[05:05] Claire
    To be honest, we perform better
    than the volleyball club,
[05:08] Claire
    so they should just make us official.
[05:11] Claire
    But that blockhead from the student
    council wouldn't allow it.
[05:15] Emily
    I can hear you, you know!
[05:18] Emily
    Clubs only become official
    with five members.
[05:20] Emily
    We're missing one.
[05:22] Emily
    Producing results doesn't change that.
[05:24] Claire
    You tightwad.
[05:25] Emily
    Rules are rules!
[05:27] Akari
    Um...
[05:28] Akari
    You're Claire Thomas-san and
    Emily Thomas-san, right?
[05:31] Claire
    Yup.
[05:32] Emily
    Y-Yes.
[05:35] Akari
    Please form a team with me!
[05:39] Both
    Huh?
[05:45] Akari
    I need a strong partner!
[05:48] Akari
    I saw your match.
[05:51] Akari
    You were both really cool and elegant!
[05:54] Akari
    Would one of you please pair with me?
[05:57] Akari
    I don't care if you have
     another partner besides me!
[05:59] Akari
    I want to become a beach
    volleyball idol, no matter what!
[06:02] Emily
    C-Could you wait a second?
[06:06] Akari
    You both have very nice bodies,
     so I think you'd be really popular!
[06:17] Claire
    That actually sounds sorta fun.
[06:20] Claire
    But I won't be able to pair up with you.
[06:21] Akari
    Aw... Then how about you, Emily-san?
[06:25] Emily
    I have no intention of pairing up
     with anyone other than Claire.
[06:28] Akari
    D'oh!
[06:36] Claire
    Well, don't you know how
    to make a girl smile.
[06:39] Emily
    But we'd love to have you in the club.
[06:42] Akari
    It's over... My flawless plan...
[06:46] Haruka
    Um...
[06:47] Haruka
    Kanata and I are here, too.
[06:50] Akari
    Higa-san is short,
[06:52] ---
    and you seem like you're still
     a newbie, Oozora-san.

[07:20] Claire
    I don't think this is the

[07:24] Kanata
    Right? I've been trying
    to figure that out, too.
[07:29] Haruka
    But you know... That girl was like a storm.
[07:33] Kanata
    Yeah.
[07:41] Girl
    Huh? Ooshiro-san?
[07:46] Girl
    It doesn't look like she's in class.
[07:48] Haruka
    Would anyone know where she is?
[07:51] Girl
    She doesn't have any friends.
[07:53] Both
    Huh?
[07:55] Haruka
    She doesn't have any friends?
[07:57] Girl
    Well, I mean, she's a celebrity!
[07:59] Girl
    She lives in a completely different world.
[08:02] Haruka
    A celebrity?
[08:04] Akari
    Go! Happy, happy, happy, happy shequasar!
[08:08] Kanata
    Happy, happy shequasar!
[08:11] Girl
    That's it.
[08:12] Kanata
    I see! She's Shii-chan!
[08:16] Haruka
    What's that?
[08:17] Kanata
    It's a local Okinawan commercial.
[08:19] Girl
    She's been a celebrity
    ever since she was little,
[08:22] Girl
    so she probably doesn't want
    to be friends with any of us.
[08:26] Girl 2
    We're going to go eat lunch.
[08:29] Girl
    Sorry, but if you'll excuse me...
[08:32] Haruka
    Thanks.
[08:36] Haruka
    Is something wrong?
[08:38] Kanata
    Yeah... I just remembered
    something from the past.
[08:43] Kanata
    I told you about the time
     Narumi-chan transferred here, right?
[08:47] Haruka
    Yeah.
[08:52] Kanata
    Narumi-chan was always off
    by herself reading books.
[08:57] Kanata
    She seemed really mature, so everyone
    just thought she didn't need any friends.
[09:02] Kanata
    People talked about her the same way
     that girl talked about Ooshiro-san.
[09:05] Kanata
    But the truth was that she wanted
    to get along with everyone.
[09:09] Haruka
    Yeah.
[09:11] Kanata
    Ooshiro-san said that if she
     became a beach volleyball idol,
[09:16] Kanata
    she'd be the most popular kid in school.
[09:19] Kanata
    A girl who didn't want any
    friends wouldn't say that.
[09:22] Kanata
    I think she wants some opportunity
    to become friends with everyone.
[09:27] Haruka
    Kanata...
[09:30] Kanata
    So, I...
[09:32] Kanata
    ...want to help her out!
[09:36] Kanata
    Should I not?
[09:41] Haruka
    I think you'd be meddling.
[09:49] Haruka
    But we can't just leave her alone after
    hearing something like that, right?
[09:54] Haruka
    Let's go, Kanata!
[09:56] Kanata
    Haruka!
[09:57] Haruka
    But before that...
[10:09] Kanata
    Eek!
[10:12] Haruka
    I need to punish the girl who keeps
    talking about her ex-girlfriend!
[10:17] Kanata
    E-Ex-girlfriend?
[10:19] Haruka
    All right! Let's go!
[10:22] Kanata
    H-Hey, wait a second! Haruka!
[10:31] Akari
    I thought it was a pretty good idea...
    That beach idol project.
[10:36] Haruka
    Ooshiro-san...
[10:40] Haruka
    You forgot this yesterday, didn't you?
[10:44] Akari
    Oh... Thanks.
[10:50] Akari
    But I don't really need this anymore.
[10:54] Akari
    Huh?
[10:55] Haruka
    Hup.
[10:57] Akari
    Huh?
[10:58] Haruka
    Man, I'm starving.
[11:00] Kanata
    Yeah.
[11:02] Akari
    Hey! Why are you sitting there?
[11:06] Haruka
    Oh, come on. Let's eat lunch together.
[11:09] Akari
    D-Do whatever you want.
[11:16] Haruka
    Hey, Ooshiro-san...
[11:20] Haruka
    Are you lonely?
[11:23] Haruka
    Oh, did I nail it?
[11:26] Akari
    O-O-O-O-Of course I'm not!
[11:31] Haruka
    But you're eating lunch all by yourself.
[11:34] Akari
    This doesn't concern you two!
[11:36] Akari
    What's your problem, anyway?
[11:39] Akari
    Jeez! Just leave me alone!
[11:42] Haruka
    Sure... but only if you beat me
     in beach volleyball!
[11:47] Haruka
    If you lose, you'll have to join the club.
[11:49] Akari
    Huh? Why do I have to do that?
[11:54] Haruka
    Our club's official status
    is on the line here!
[11:58] Akari
    Like I care.
[12:03] Kanata
    Then how about against me?
[12:05] Akari
    Again, why would I—
[12:08] Kanata
    You don't even have the confidence
    to beat someone as small as me,
[12:11] ---
    and you wanted to become
    a beach volleyball idol?
[12:16] Akari
    Fine! I'll accept your challenge.
[12:21] Kanata
    We'll be waiting for you after school.
[12:26] Haruka
    See you then!
[12:35] Emily
    So... Where's Ooshiro-san?
[12:42] Akari
    Here... And here...
[12:45] Akari
    And here.
[12:47] Akari
    And here...
[12:49] Haruka
    Excuse me, but could we get started—
[12:51] Akari
    Not yet!
[12:53] Akari
    I'm not even close to finished applying this!
[12:55] Haruka
    A-Ah... That much?
[13:00] Haruka
    She yelled at me.
[13:06] Claire
    Ah... So that's why she was overdressed.
[13:10] Emily
    So what are we going to do next?
[13:12] Haruka
    We're just going to play beach volleyball.
[13:15] Claire
    You didn't even plan this out?
[13:17] Emily
    All right, since this is one-on-one,
    the court size has been halved.
[13:22] Emily
    I'll set up the ball and if you can get
[13:25] ---
    even one out of seven spikes
    over into her court, you win.
[13:28] Emily
    Understood?
[13:29] Akari
    Yes!
[13:33] Haruka
    We'll be the refs for this match.
[13:37] Emily
    So she says.
[13:39] Emily
    Are you two ready?
[13:41] Both
    Yes!
[13:43] Kanata
    Ooshiro-san's a newbie.
[13:44] Emily
    If you don't like my timing, let me know.
[13:46] Akari
    Okay.
[13:49] Kanata
    She probably won't try any unusual attacks.
[13:53] Emily
    Ready, and...
[13:55] Emily
    Here.
[13:57] Kanata
    Which means...
[14:00] Kanata
    A straight!
[14:08] Kanata
    You can play a little more seriously.
[14:11] Kanata
    Don't hold back.
[14:13] Akari
    You're mocking me...
[14:15] Kanata
    It feels like she has very
    little volleyball experience.
[14:19] Emily
    Here.
[14:20] Kanata
    Which means she'll just try to
    hit the straight harder now.
[14:24] Kanata
    The next ball will be...
[14:28] Haruka
    Out!
[14:30] Kanata
    You're too tense, Ooshiro-san! Relax, relax!
[14:34] Akari
    Relax, relax...
[14:36] ---
    Hey! Why do I have to take advice from you?!
[14:40] Akari
    We're enemies!
[14:42] Kanata
    Oh, right...
[14:45] Emily
    Here.
[14:46] Kanata
    Next, she'll try to change up
    how hard she hits...
[14:50] Kanata
    But when a beginner tries to do that...
[14:54] Kanata
    They fail.
[14:58] Haruka
    Hey, Claire.
[15:00] Claire
    Hm?
[15:01] Haruka
    Kanata's moving like she knows how her
    opponent's going to move, isn't she?
[15:05] Haruka
    Is there a trick to that?
[15:08] Claire
    Ah... Well, part of it is because her
    opponent's a beginner and easy to read.
[15:14] Claire
    But it's mostly thanks to her coach.
[15:16] Haruka
    Her coach? You mean your mom?
[15:20] Claire
    Out!
[15:21] Akari
    What?! Hey! Could you watch more carefully?
[15:25] Claire
    I did, though.
[15:27] Claire
    Look, right there.
[15:31] Akari
    Oh, fine. I guess I'll
    let it slide this time.
[15:34] Akari
    But you need to watch
     more carefully next time.
[15:36] Claire
    Wow, she doesn't trust me at all.
[15:39] Claire
    Does she seem pissed off to you?
[15:45] Akari
    Take that!
[15:46] Kanata
    Got it.
[15:47] Akari
    Hup!
[15:47] Kanata
    Got it.
[15:49] Akari
    Wham!
[15:50] Kanata
    Got it.
[15:57] Akari
    One more time!
[15:58] Emily
    Um, Ooshiro-san...
[16:01] Emily
    We've already gone way past seven times...
[16:04] Akari
    It doesn't matter!
[16:05] Akari
    Being an idol is all about stamina!
[16:07] Akari
    So how could I
[16:09] Akari
    go home after losing
     to a snarky face like that?
[16:16] Akari
    Please!
[16:18] Emily
    All right. I'll stick with
    you until you're satisfied.
[16:22] Akari
    Okay!
[16:30] Haruka
    Here you go.
[16:35] Akari
    Thank you. I couldn't even
    score a single point.
[16:40] Akari
    I hate to admit it,
     but I'm completely defeated.
[16:43] Claire
    I can't believe you actually challenged
    Kanata to a battle of stamina.
[16:46] Kanata
    But you were amazing, too, Ooshiro-san.
[16:48] ---
    It's rare for a beginner
    to keep up this long.
[16:52] Akari
    O-Of course I can.
[16:55] ---
    An idol has to rely on stamina.
[16:57] Claire
    Aw, you're being shy.
[16:59] Akari
    I am not!
[17:00] Claire
    You sure are.
[17:02] Akari
    I am not!
[17:03] Haruka
    Ooshiro-san.
[17:06] Haruka
    That was fun, right?
[17:08] Akari
    I-I guess...
[17:13] Haruka
    I think playing sports is the best way
    to get closer to someone.
[17:19] Haruka
    I grew up playing various sports,
[17:22] Haruka
    but no matter which I played,
    I always made a lot of friends!
[17:37] Haruka
    And today, I was able to become
    friends with you, Ooshiro-san!
[17:41] Akari
    Friends?
[17:45] Haruka
    We're already friends, aren't we?
[18:07] Akari
    I-I guess I don't have a choice.
[18:10] Akari
    If you absolutely insist, I guess
    I wouldn't mind joining your club.
[18:14] Claire
    Seriously? Then hurry up and fill this out!

    It's just as you said, Haruka-san.
    Sports are mysterious.
[19:31] Haruka
    Right?
[19:32] Kanata
    When I was in grade school,
[19:35] ---
    I wanted to become closer with
    a girl who had just transferred
[19:37] Kanata
    and started playing beach volleyball.
[19:41] Akari
    Oh, really? Where is she now?
[19:44] Kanata
    Yeah, she's still playing beach volleyball.
[19:53] Akari
    Wait, the person you played with...
[19:56] Kanata
    I hope that I'll be able to play
    with Narumi-chan again someday.
[20:01] Kanata
    But next time, we'll be
    on opposite sides of the net.
[20:07] Akari
    I see...
[20:09] Akari
    I wasn't really sure how to make friends.

    I thought if I became an idol,
[20:17] ---
    everyone would talk to me again.
[20:22] Akari
    My beach idol project didn't work,
[20:25] ---
    but because of you guys,
    I think I understand now.
[20:29] Akari
    Besides, if Claire-san and Emily-san win,
[20:33] ---
    I'll have a chance to get on TV.
[20:38] Haruka
    Hey, could you stop forgetting
    about Kanata and me?
[20:42] Akari
    Right. I look forward to working
    with you guys tomorrow.
[20:46] Kanata
    Right.
[20:47] Haruka
    Me, too.
[20:53] Akari
    Hey!
[20:55] Akari
    I'm really happy I met you guys!
[21:08] Akari
    Listen up, everyone.
[21:10] Akari
    Even though summer is over,
[21:12] ---
    you need to protect against
    UV rays all year round!
[21:14] Claire
    We're not wearing swimsuits
     and we're pretty well covered.
[21:17] Akari
    And that's the carelessness
    that'll get you in the end!
[21:20] Akari
    And wait! You're still
    quite exposed, Claire-san!
[21:23] Claire
    Yeah, yeah, fine. I get it, Shii-chan.
[21:27] Akari
    I've asked you to stop calling me that!
[21:31] Claire
    But I'm only calling you
    that with love, because of
[21:33] ---
    the affinity I feel for tiny Shii-chan.
[21:35] Akari
    I don't need that kind of love!
[21:37] Claire
    Don't be like that, Shii-chan.
[21:38] Emily
    You're so immature.
[21:39] Akari
    You said it again!
[21:40] Emily
    Could you actually act like her senpai?
[21:41] Claire
    I'll say it with even
    more love... Shii-chan!
[21:43] Kanata
    Akari-chan sort of seems like the manager.
[21:46] Akari
    You don't have to call me that!
[21:47] Haruka
    This is great... This is really great!
[21:50] Haruka
    We actually seem like a club!
[21:52] Kanata
    You think so?
[21:54] Haruka
    We have to work really hard!
[21:59] Akari
    Hey! That goes for you, too, Haruka-san!
[22:03] Haruka
    Huh?
[22:10] Both
    Mom?
[22:11] Marissa
    Hi, girls!
[22:14] Both
    "Mom"?!
[22:16] Kanata
    Marissa?
