[00:01] (Flashback) Noda
    It must've been awful for you.
[00:03] (Flashback) Noda
    But you're doing so well.
[00:06] (Flashback) Noda
    Here. Take a puff of this.
[00:08] (Flashback) Noda
    It'll make your breathing easier.
[00:14] (Flashback) Noda
    Well?
[00:19] (Flashback) Kana
    That's awesome!
[00:20] (Flashback) Kana
    It's totally awesome!
[00:21] (Flashback) Kana
    Mom, I wanna be a doctor when I grow up!
[00:25] (Flashback) Kana's mother
    Oh, you want to be something else now?
[00:28] (Flashback) Kana's mother
    Last time, it was, "I want to be a detective."
[00:32] Kana
    I just remembered that!
[00:36] Kana
    Hey, isn't that awesome?
[00:37] Kana
    By age six, I was already
    interested in a medical career!
[00:41] Reimi
    I'm more curious about what made
    you want to be a detective.
[00:45] Hibiki
    And after doctor, you wanted to be a healer?
[00:47] Kana
    No...
[00:48] Kana
    After that it was pilot,
    then barista, then pro wrestler!
[00:52] Reimi
    Why?
[00:53] Hibiki
    Awesome! Did you meet a wrestler?
[00:55] Reimi
    What?
[00:57] OP
    A gentle breeze carries your feelings to me
[01:08] OP
    so I feel like you're touching me
[01:15] OP
    I feel you, so I heal you
[01:21] OP
    I guess everyone must be connected
[01:27] OP
    That's why it feels like the sky
    deep in our hearts is blue and clear
[01:36] OP
    I sing because when the
    melody carrying my wishes
[01:43] OP
    and the words carrying my feelings reach you
[01:49] OP
    I want them to resonate in our joined hearts
[01:56] OP
    I'm sending healing harmony to you
[01:59] OP
    The music draws close to you
[02:14] OP
    Just like when I sing together
    with you... I feel you
SIGN    Ichiro Noda
[02:29] Nibeyama
    The patient is 68 years old, male,
[02:32] Nibeyama
    presenting with polyps on the
    gallbladder and small intestine.
[02:35] Nibeyama
    Both showed signs of major growth
    during his most recent physical.
[02:38] Nibeyama
    Last night, his condition took
    a sudden turn for the worse.
[02:41] Nibeyama
    He was stabilized thanks to swift treatment,
    but we've decided he needs urgent surgery.
[02:44] Shoko
    Hey, it's Dr. Noda.
[02:46] Ria
    Yes, it is.
[02:46] Nibeyama
    He'll need a cholecystectomy and enterectomy.
[02:52] Nibeyama
    His family has already
    signed the consent form.
[02:56] Nibeyama
    If all goes to schedule, we'll have
     the surgery in two weeks.
[03:00] Ria
    You're combining the surgeries?
[03:02] Mizore
    Based on the patient's
    age and current status,
[03:06] Mizore
    I thought it would be better to get it done
[03:07] Mizore
    in one procedure rather
    than break it up into two.
[03:09] Ria
    So, how can I help?
[03:11] Mizore
    I'd like this to be a joint operation between
     the surgical and vocal treatment fields.
[03:17] Mizore
    The effects of vocal treatment can control
    blood flow around the affected area,
[03:22] Mizore
    and reduce bleeding during surgery.
[03:24] Mizore
    In addition, it allows for swift
    recovery around the incision site.
[03:28] Mizore
    It's a job you're uniquely suited to,
[03:29] Mizore
    as a healer with significant
    surgical knowledge and skill.
[03:34] Mizore
    This is an official request
    from the university college.
[03:37] Mizore
    If it works, it could greatly shorten
    what should be a ten-hour operation.
[03:42] Mizore
    It will reduce the burden
    on the patient, too.
[03:44] Mizore
    I was also hoping the girls would assist.
[03:48] Mizore
    With treatment this time,
    rather than staff care.
[03:51] Mizore
    After all, even assistants are
    allowed to sing for treatment
[03:54] Mizore
    if they have their instructor's supervision.
[03:56] Ria
    That's correct.
[03:58] Ria
    But this is all a significant
    change in policy...
[04:01] Ria
    Is there a reason for this?
[04:03] Mizore
    It was the request of the patient himself.
[04:11] Noda
    Well, well, well!
[04:13] Noda
    Karasuma-kun, Nagisa-kun...
    It's been some time!
[04:16] Ria
    It has indeed.
[04:17] Shoko
    Nice to see you!
[04:19] Noda
    It's good to see you both doing well.
[04:21] Ria
    Let's drop the pleasantries.
[04:23] Ria
    I heard you asked for us yourself.
[04:25] Ria
    You never hesitate to throw
    your weight around, do you?
[04:27] Noda
    I merely expressed a preference!
[04:29] Noda
    I wasn't the one who made the
    decision, you know.
[04:32] Ria
    I wonder...
[04:34] Noda
    And you certainly haven't changed, either.
[04:36] Noda
    Your thesis certainly astonished
    all of your teachers.
[04:39] Ria
    They still call me "witch."
[04:42] Noda
    Truly, you never change.
[04:45] Kana
    I feel like I've seen that guy somewhere.
[04:48] Mizore
    Dr. Noda was an important teacher
    to Ria and me in our student days.
[04:52] Kana
    To Mistress?
[04:53] Mizore
    You remember how Ria went from
    surgery to vocal treatment?
[04:58] Mizore
    At the time, vocal treatment was generally
    looked down on in the department.
[05:03] Mizore
    Ria got a lot of blowback when she
    first expressed interest in it.
[05:07] Mizore
    And that's when...
[05:09] (Flashback) Noda
    I see!
[05:11] (Flashback) Noda
    That sounds very interesting!
    Go ahead and try!
[05:13] Mizore
    And the resistance vanished just like that!
[05:17] Hibiki
    That's amazing!
[05:18] Reimi
    Mistress's master!
[05:25] Mizore
    Well, can I have your answer?
[05:29] Ria
    What do you girls think?
[05:32] Ria
    As mentioned earlier,
    this is proper treatment.
[05:35] Ria
    It'll be quite prolonged, too.
[05:37] Ria
    You will have time to rest,
[05:39] Ria
    but it will be a huge burden on your voice—
[05:40] Kana
    I'll do it!
[05:40] Reimi
    I'd love to!
[05:40] Hibiki
    Please, let us!
[05:47] Reimi
    Sh-She patted my head!
[05:50] Ria
    Well, it sounds we're up for it.
[05:53] Mizore
    Why, thank you!
[05:56] Shoko
    Here, your medicine.
[05:59] Yui's grandmother
    Thank you.
[06:00] Yui's grandmother
    By the way, has something happened?

[06:09] Shoko
    It will all be back to normal in two weeks.
[06:11] Yui's grandmother
    Really? That's good to hear.
SIGN    About the Hospital Director
    
    Hospital Director Ichiro Noda
    
    Helping you live your best life
    
     Our hospital holds regular workshops taught
     by outside instructors in order to improve our services.
[06:13] Kana
    This is our patient?
[06:16] Reimi
    He appears to be the hospital's director.
[06:19] Hibiki
    Trusting his subordinate enough
    to let her operate on him,
[06:22] Hibiki
    and giving his student Ria-san's
    vocal treatment a chance to shine...
[06:26] Hibiki
    He's really amazing!
[06:28] Reimi
    After all, he is Mistress's master!
[06:30] Kana
    The director of that hospital...
[06:32] (Flashback) Noda
    Here. Take a puff of this.
[06:34] (Flashback) Noda
    It'll make your breathing easier.
[06:35] (Flashback) Kana
    I wanna be a doctor when I grow up!
[06:41] Reimi
    What are you so nervous about?
[06:44] Kana
    I know I said I'd do it,
[06:46] Kana
    but it's a pretty big responsibility, right?
[06:48] Reimi
    I suppose...
[06:50] Hibiki
    Yes, it is...
[06:52] Kana
    What if we mess up?
[06:57] Reimi
    Hey! Now you're making me nervous!
[06:58] Hibiki
    I-It'll be okay...
[07:00] Kana
    Y-Yeah, of course it will...
[07:06] Reimi
    Me?
[07:08] Reimi
    Yes? Hello?
SIGN    -san
SIGN    Calling
SIGN    End Call
[07:09] Aoi
    My lady, is everything all right?
[07:12] Reimi
    What? Why do you ask?
[07:14] Aoi
    Well... if nothing's wrong,
    I'm happy to hear it.
[07:18] Aoi
    What time do you think you'll be home today?
[07:20] Reimi
    What?
[07:23] Reimi
    I'll be leaving pretty soon, so...
[07:25] Reimi
    Around seven, maybe?
[07:30] Ria
    Fujii-san...
[07:33] Kana
    Mistress?
[07:38] Ria
    Nervous?
[07:42] Kana
    Yes. A little.
[07:48] Ria
    When something happens,
    no matter when or where,
[07:51] Ria
    your only option is to face it
    with whatever power you have.
[08:02] Ria
    Don't worry.
[08:04] Ria
    Believe in your power.
[08:06] Ria
    I know that you can do it.
[08:18] Ria
    Are you ready?
[08:20] Kana
    Yes!
[08:22] Ria
    Excellent.
[08:23] Reimi
    B-Be grateful for Mistress's faith in you!
[08:27] Hibiki
    It's the best guarantee there is!
[08:35] Ria
    So close you could almost touch them
[08:40] Hibiki
    Thank you.
[08:43] Ria
    The light of drifting stars fills the sky
[08:44] Ria
    Everyone.
[08:46] Ria
    I'm counting on you.
[08:47] Trio
    Right!
[08:49] Kana
    And so, we began our
    preparations for the surgery.
[08:55] Ria
    It feels almost like a railroad
[08:56] Kana
    We went to the hospital multiple days in
    a row and took part in the discussions.
[09:00] Kana
    And at the clinic, we picked
    out our sheet music.
[09:00] Ria
    carrying our hopes and dreams along
[09:03] Kana
    We practiced our singing.
[09:04] Kana
    And Mistress worked on
    image training for surgery.
[09:08] Kana
    And not just that...
[09:19] Noda
    That feels wonderful.
[09:21] Noda
    Maybe I should stay sick, so I can
     hear you sing every day.
[09:25] Ria
    Sensei!
[09:26] Noda
    Sorry, sorry!
[09:28] Ria
    Honestly...
[09:30] Ria
    I'm doing this to manage your condition.
[09:32] Ria
    If you want to hear me sing every day,
[09:34] Ria
    get better and buy one of my CDs!
[09:37] Kana
    Mistress is busy every day.
[09:40] Ria
    You can all head back without me.
[09:42] Trio
    Yes, ma'am! Have a good evening!
[09:45] Ria
    I was thinking we should start singing
    the minute you make the first incision...
[09:48] Kana
    Mistress is working overtime again today.
[09:51] Reimi
    I want her to see our song, but...
[09:53] Trio
    A wish shines
[09:53] Hibiki
    She doesn't seem to have the time.
[09:55] Shoko
    No worries.
[09:56] Shoko
    Ria's asked for a little help.
[09:58] Trio
    so very faintly
[10:04] Kana
    it's impossible to see...
[10:14] Reimi
    When a firefly
[10:17] Hibiki
    takes flight, dancing
[10:21] Hibiki
    embracing its light
[10:23] Kana
    as if treasuring it...
[10:28] Trio
    That's its way of telling
[10:32] Trio
    the stars in the sky above...
[10:40] Trio
    "Hey, I'm here."
[10:47] Kana
    I will make my dream come true!
[11:01] Shinobu's grandmother
    Yes, well done.
[11:03] Shinobu's grandmother
    You're holding your notes well
    and hitting them precisely.
[11:08] Shinobu's grandmother
    I can tell you've been
    receiving excellent training.
[11:12] Sonia
    Well, Karasuma is my rival, after all.
[11:14] Sonia
    It makes sense that she would
    be an excellent teacher!
[11:17] Reimi
    I can't even tell if that's
    supposed to be a compliment.
[11:23] Shinobu's grandmother
    That's enough for now.
[11:24] Shinobu's grandmother
    I'll see you again in two days.
[11:26] Trio
    Yes, ma'am! Thank you very much!
[11:34] Shinbou's grandmother
    Give it your best.
[11:35] Shinbou's grandmother
    I know you girls can do it.
[11:38] Sonia
    Don't blow it.
[11:40] Sonia
    The more achievements
    Karasuma has to her name,
[11:42] Sonia
    the more impressive it
    will be when I beat her.
[11:45] Sonia
    If you mess this up,
    you'll get an earful from me!
[11:48] Trio
    Right!
[12:05] Ria
    Morning?
[12:13] Ria
    Right!
[12:21] Trio
    Good morning!
[12:22] Ria
    Good morning.
[12:24] Mizore
    It looks like everyone's here.
[12:26] Mizore
    How's the patient doing?
[12:28] Nurse
    No significant issues.
[12:29] Nurse
    Blood pressure, temperature, and heart
    rate are all within normal ranges.
[12:36] Mizore
    Let's proceed as planned.
[12:37] Mizore
    Get ready.
[12:39] All Staff
    Yes, ma'am!
[12:40] Noda
    Today is a wonderful day.
[12:43] Noda
    My very own students are operating on me.
[12:46] Noda
    I couldn't ask for more!
[12:49] Mizore
    Just leave it to us.
[12:50] Ria
    Make sure to grade us on it later.
[12:52] Noda
    Yes, I can't wait.
[12:55] Mizore
    Now, let's get you to the operating room.
[13:13] Technician
    Everything's in order.
[13:16] Mizore
    Ready, Ria?
[13:22] Kana
    That was...
[13:23] Reimi
    With just a moment's vocal warm-up...
[13:25] Hibiki
    She conjured a vivid image.
[13:27] Ria
    I'm ready.
[13:31] Mizore
    We will now begin the combined
    cholecystectomy and enterectomy.
[13:37] Mizore
    Give me your best work, everyone.
[13:38] All
    We'll do our best.
[13:43] Ria
    Now, let's swear an oath
[13:51] All
    One that touches your heart
[14:00] All
    So that—just as light can reach
[14:04] All
    the bottom of a ravine,
[14:07] Ria
    no matter how deep it may be—
[14:14] Ria
    this message, "there's no need to fear"
[14:20] Kitazato
    The blood loss is significantly
    lower than usual.
[14:20] Ria
    might reach you...
[14:23] Nibeyama
    Impossible...
[14:25] All
    You are your own voice of life
[14:36] All
    Let mine resound with yours
[14:42] All
    And soon, even the deepest hidden pain
[14:53] All
    will be released...
[14:58] All
    Believe it to be so!
[15:04] Technician
    Blood pressure and heart
    rate are both stable.
[15:08] Mizore
    The boundaries of the affected region have
    changed color, making it easier to sever.
[15:12] Mizore
    Are you the one doing this, Ria?
[15:15] Ria
    Is it going well?
[15:16] Mizore
    We're setting records for speed!
[15:18] Mizore
    Nibeyama-sensei, please handle the suturing.
[15:20] Nibeyama
    Yes, ma'am.
[15:21] Mizore
    The minute you're done, I'll begin
    removal of the small intestinal polyps.
[15:25] Ria
    I'll handle this myself for a while.
[15:27] Ria
    Take this chance to rest.
[15:29] Trio
    Yes, ma'am...
[15:39] Kana
    All that singing sure tires you out!
[15:42] Reimi
    But Mistress is still doing it!
[15:44] Hibiki
    Do you think we'll ever be like Mistress?
[15:52] Ria
    Let's think back and remember
[16:03] Ria
    The way you were...
[16:07] Nibeyama
    The wound is closing in the
    areas where I stitched it.
[16:10] Nibeyama
    She can achieve this kind of precision?
[16:11] Ria
    The way you should be...
[16:17] Nibeyama
    They call her a witch?
[16:19] Nibeyama
    She's more like a goddess.
[16:22] Shoko
    Here.
[16:23] Noda's daughter
    Thank you.
[16:25] Nurse
    I have a message from Karasuma-sensei.
[16:27] Nurse
    She'll need you in 5 minutes.
[16:29] Trio
    Yes, ma'am.
[16:41] Ria
    With eyes firmly forward...
[16:45] Girls
    No going astray...
[16:47] Ria
    Let us walk...
[16:51] Girls
    Carving a new path...
[16:53] Ria
    Making our oaths...
[16:54] Girls
    All of our oaths...
[16:57] Ria
    Into one...
[16:59] Girls
    To send the light to reach you...
[17:05] Ria
    Now, let's move on to tomorrow
[17:09] Girls
    When your wish is most powerful...
[17:12] Ria
    Listen, the wind is calling you!
[17:15] Girls
    It must be so!
[17:17] All
    With feelings as bright as blue sky above...
[17:24] Ria
    The door of hope is ahead!
[17:27] Girls
    It's open!
[17:30] Ria
    Yes, the wishes that await you
[17:35] Ria
    echo on and on
[17:41] all
    Giving you the courage to
    face whatever is to come...
[17:47] all
    Those powerful prayers!
[17:53] Ria
    Even if, for a moment,
    dark fears assail you...
[18:03] Girls
    Never forget that you aren't alone!
[18:07] Ria
    Let's sing!
[18:08] Girls
    The nature of life is to
    resonate with itself!
[18:10] Girls
    Now, all together...
[18:15] Ria
    Let's move on to tomorrow!
[18:17] Girls
    When your wish is most powerful...
[18:18] Ria
    Listen, the wind is calling you!
[18:22] Girls
    It must be so!
[18:24] All
    With feelings as brilliant
    as blue sky above...
[18:29] Ria
    The door to the future is there!
[18:31] All
    We'll open it, melodies playing!
[18:38] All
    We'll release it all!
[18:42] All
    You are your own harmony,
[18:49] All
    softly resounding with mine
[18:54] All
    Believing in so many prayers and wishes
[19:06] All
    Within a world that shines so brightly!
[19:13] Ria
    Life...
[19:15] Kana
    Your powerful feelings...
[19:17] Mizore
    Resection complete.
[19:18] Reimi
    The prayers that await you...
[19:21] Hibiki
    The oath that touched you...
[19:24] All
    ...sings once more!
SIGN    Surgery in Progress
[19:41] Nibeyama
    That went splendidly.
[19:42] Mizore
    It certainly did.
[19:44] Mizore
    The surgery was a success.
[19:45] Noda's daughter
    Thank you so much!
[19:48] Noda's daughter
    Truly...
[19:52] Mizore
    Excellent work today.
[19:53] Ria
    Same to you.
[19:55] Mizore
    That went even better than expected.
[19:58] Mizore
    And your students are better
    than I expected, too.
[20:02] Ria
    They certainly are!
[20:03] Mizore
    I'd be happy to take you all
    out sometime. My treat.
[20:06] Mizore
    Let the girls know.
[20:08] Ria
    Why, thank you!
[20:10] Mizore
    See you.
[20:22] Shoko
    Don't sleep until you're belted in.
[20:26] Shoko
    Were the girls really that impressive?
[20:29] Shoko
    Mizore never offers to pay for anything.
[20:33] Ria
    I'll tell you... when we get home...
[20:47] Shoko
    Sure thing.
[21:27] Kana
    A fine evening to you!
[21:29] Reimi
    What, you're still awake?
[21:31] Kana
    So are you, Reimi-chan!
[21:32] Reimi
    Well, I fell asleep so early, I woke up early.
[21:36] Kana
    You think Hibiki-chan's still up, too?
[21:38] Reimi
    Don't!
[21:39] Hibiki
    Good evening!
[21:41] Kana
    Good evening!
[21:42] Reimi
    Guess she is!
[21:44] Kana
    Hey, wasn't today's surgery just awesome?
[21:47] Kana
    Mistress's voice was incredible!
[21:49] Hibiki
    Reimi-chan, I can't believe you noticed
    the bit where Mistress was struggling!
[21:53] Reimi
    She wasn't struggling.
[21:55] Reimi
    She just... seemed a little
    different than usual.
[21:59] Kana
    You really do watch her all the time!
[22:00] Reimi
    Of course I do! I had a front row seat today!
[22:04] Kana
    That's no good, Reimi-chan.
[22:06] Kana
    You have to watch the patient!
[22:08] Reimi
    I was! Of course the patient comes first!
[22:10] Hibiki
    I'm glad we could help her.
[22:12] Kana
    And Mistress said we did well!
[22:14] Reimi
    By the way, Hibiki,
[22:16] Reimi
    why was it you reacted like that
    to Kana's pro wrestling thing?
[22:19] Kana
    I saw your shelves were full
    of pro wrestling manga!
[22:23] Reimi
    Really?
[22:25] Hibiki
    You noticed, Kana-chan?
[22:26] Hibiki
    I'll lend you some!
[22:27] Hibiki
    They're so good!
[22:29] Hibiki
    My absolute favorite pro wrestler is—
[22:31] Reimi
    You certainly have very diverse interests, Hibiki.
[22:35] Kana
    Yeah.
[22:36] Kana
    Splatter films, pro wrestling,
    music, piano, cooking...
[22:41] Reimi
    You're one to talk, Kana.
[22:43] Reimi
    Barista, pro wrestler, detective...
[22:47] Kana
    Well, I don't think it's that impressive...
[22:50] Reimi
    That wasn't really meant as a compliment.
[22:51] Reimi
    I don't think that's quite
    the reaction it deserved.
[22:55] Kana
    But what made you interested
    in pro wrestlers, Hibiki-chan?
[22:58] Hibiki
    My father let me borrow
    all the volumes when I came here.
[23:02] Hibiki
    I started reading them, and got obsessed.
[23:04] Hibiki
    Shoko-san is also a pro wrestling fan,
[23:07] Hibiki
    so she took me to see a
    match the day I got here!
[23:10] Hibiki
    We could all watch a
    wrestling match together!
[23:12] Kana
    Sounds fun! Let's do it!
[23:14] Reimi
    Pro wrestling, huh?
[23:15] Reimi
    I'm not sure...
[23:16] Hibiki
    And we can invite Ria-san!
[23:18] Reimi
    I'm in!
[23:20] Hibiki
    Great!

    Song 9 "The Best Guarantee • Buy the CD"
[23:25] [SONG] Title
    Song 10
     "Halloween • Masquerade • Butterfly!"
[23:25] Kana
    Pumpkin!
[23:26] Sonia
    What? Halloween?
[23:28] Hibiki
    What kind of treats should we buy?
[23:31] Sonia
    I'll show you Sonia on stage!
[23:34] Kana
    Center?!
[23:35] Ria
    It's decided.
[23:36] Reimi
    Will we produce harmony or chaos?
