[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?

[04:43] 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. [06:56] Haruka     D'oh! SIGN    Club Application     Year Month Date ( )     I'd like to join the     __________________Club               Year Class Name     (Reasons for wanting to join) [07:02] Claire     A journey of a thousand miles     begins with a single step, member.

[07:17] Claire     But for some reason... [07:20] Claire     I don't think this is the     first time we've met her. [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?

[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. [20:15] Akari     I thought if I became an idol, [20:17] ---     everyone would talk to me again.
