[00:12] Bocchi
    Where am I?
[00:16] Bocchi
    Do-Your-Best Fairy?
[00:32] Bocchi
    Kai-chan.
[00:33] Kai
    Bocchi, congratulations on graduating.
[00:37] Kai
    You remember our promise, right?
[00:39] Kai
    We can't be friends until you become
    friends with everyone in your class.
[00:43] Kai
    You tried your best, Bocchi.
[00:46] Kai
    But...
[00:49] Kai
    What a shame. We're not friends.
[00:52] Kai
    Farewell.
[00:55] Bocchi
    Kai-chan!
[00:56] Bocchi
    Kai-chan!
[01:04] Bocchi
    Today is July 19th.
[01:07] Bocchi
    Summer break starts tomorrow,
    but now I have a dilemma.
[01:12] Bocchi
    At this pace, that dream will come true.
[01:15] Bocchi
    In the summer of my first
    year in middle school,
[01:18] Bocchi
    I, Hitori Bocchi, have come to realize...
[01:21] Bocchi
    The world is cruel.
SIGN    Gentle Tears
[03:01] Bocchi
    I need to make at least
    one more friend today.
[03:07] Bocchi
    I practiced greeting others with a smile.
[03:10] Bocchi
    Good morning.
[03:19] Bocchi
    All communication starts with a greeting.
[03:21] Bocchi
    A bright greeting.
[03:23] Bocchi
    Bright...
[03:24] Bocchi
    Nako-chan, Aru-chan, Sotoka-san...
[03:27] Bocchi
    Remember the first time you spoke with them.
[03:31] (Flashback) Nako
    What is it, Barf?
[03:33] (Flashback) Aru
    Hitori-san?
[03:35] (Flashback) Sotoka
    What went well?
[03:37] Bocchi
    I didn't speak to any of them first!
[03:45] Bocchi
    That one is Aru-chan's friend.
[03:48] Bocchi
    Yamada-san!
SIGN    Yamada Hanako (Tennis Club)
[03:52] Bocchi
    Now! A bright greeting.
[03:55] Bocchi
    All communication starts with a greeting.
[03:57] Bocchi
    The time is now!
[04:18] Bocchi
    I still ended up running away.
[04:23] Nako
    What is she doing?
[04:25] Bocchi
    It's so cold and comforting.
[04:29] Nako
    I'll just leave her be.
[04:32] Bocchi
    It really is impossible for me
    to speak to someone!
[04:34] Bocchi
    But...
[04:35] Bocchi
    I had a feeling this would happen,
[04:37] Bocchi
    so I thought up some ways to manage
    without being the first to speak!
[04:41] Bocchi
    Yeah.
[04:42] Bocchi
    It's finally time for this.
[04:44] Bocchi
    It's finally time to undo my bow tie!
[04:49] Bocchi
    I always have a backup plan.
[04:51] Bocchi
    That's a sign of growth.
[04:54] Bocchi
    Now...
[04:55] Bocchi
    Kurai-san's on the disciplinary committee,
SIGN    Kurai Kako
[04:58] Bocchi
    so once Kurai-san notices...
[05:04] Kako
    Huh? Hitori-san?
[05:06] Bocchi
    Y-Yes?!
[05:07] Kako
    Where's your bow?
[05:08] Bocchi
    Oh, I forgot it.
[05:12] Kako
    I see.
[05:13] Kako
    Then use this.
[05:15] Kako
    It's my spare.
[05:17] Bocchi
    Thank you.
[05:18] Bocchi
    I'll wash it and return it to you.
[05:20] Kako
    That'll be next semester, though.
[05:23] Bocchi
    Right...
[05:24] Kako
    Oh, well.
[05:27] Kako
    Let's meet up during summer break, then.
[05:31] Bocchi
    It'll go like that!
[05:32] Bocchi
    Okay!
[05:37] Kako
    Huh? Hitori-san?
[05:39] Bocchi
    Y-Yes?!
[05:41] Kako
    What's with your sloppy attire?
[05:43] Bocchi
    Huh?
[05:45] Kako
    I hope you're not getting carried away
    just because summer break's almost here.
[05:48] Bocchi
    I-I, I...
[05:50] Kako
    I won't permit any of that, you hear?
[05:53] Bocchi
    I, I-I, I-I...
[06:00] Nako
    Again?!
[06:02] Teruyo
    Now, everyone, please enjoy
    a healthy summer break.
[06:06] Kako
    Rise.
[06:08] Bocchi
    Nothing else happened after that,
    and now closing ceremonies are over, too.
[06:11] Kako
    Bow.
[06:15] Bocchi
    I couldn't do anything.
[06:18] Nako
    Bocchi, let's go home.
[06:19] Sotoka
    Master, it's summer break!
[06:22] Aru
    Where should we go? Where should we go?
[06:24] Bocchi
    There are so many things I wanted
    to ask my precious friends, too.
[06:30] Sotoka
    Master?
[06:31] Aru
    Are you that happy?
[06:35] Aru
    Is training progressing well?
[06:36] Sotoka
    Do you want to see my real skills?!
[06:40] Sotoka
    Then let's have a race!
[06:40] Nako
    Those two are full of energy.
[06:42] Aru
    Huh? A race?! I won't lose!
[06:43] Sotoka
    You think you can beat me?
[06:47] Nako
    Our summer break's just starting,
     but you seem down.
[06:52] Bocchi
    Because I can't let myself get carried away.
[06:57] Nako
    Huh?
[06:58] Bocchi
    I can't let myself...
[07:02] Bocchi
    This is yummy.
[07:03] Nako
    You said you liked that flavor a while ago.
[07:11] Nako
    What is it? Did something happen?
[07:15] Bocchi
    I had a dream.
[07:17] Nako
    A dream?
[07:18] Bocchi
    A dream that I couldn't reunite
     with Kai-chan.
[07:21] Bocchi
    So I need to make more friends.
[07:24] Bocchi
    I need to become friends with everyone.
[07:26] Bocchi
    I tried hard,
[07:28] Bocchi
    but it didn't work.
[07:30] Nako
    I see.
[07:32] Bocchi
    I actually wanted to ask everyone today
[07:34] Bocchi
    whether they'd still hang
    out with me over break.
[07:41] Bocchi
    But I shouldn't be thinking
    about playing around right now.
[07:51] Sotoka
    Master!
[07:53] Sotoka
    Play with me!
[07:55] Nako
    Speak of the devil!
[07:56] Sotoka
    I'll play with you, Master!
[07:59] Aru
    Hey!
[08:01] Aru
    You better not be thinking of leaving me out!
[08:04] Aru
    Let's hang out, Bocchi.
[08:05] Aru
    We can go to the beach,
    the pool, and festivals!
[08:07] Bocchi
    Aru-chan...
[08:08] Sotoka
    We can watch the falling leaves,
    go snowboarding, and go flower viewing!
[08:11] Nako
    None of those are summer things.
[08:12] Aru
    If you go to all kinds of places
     and hang out a lot,
[08:15] Aru
    you should become a little less shy.
[08:18] Aru
    Then you can make lots of new friends
    when second semester starts, right?
[08:23] Sotoka
    I'll be with you, too.
[08:24] Bocchi
    You guys...
[08:27] Nako
    Yeah.
[08:31] Bocchi
    Then we can all do
     the radio exercises together?
[08:34] Nako
    Getting up early is...
[08:36] Sotoka
    Yeah!
[08:37] Sotoka
    Let's have a sleepover at my house!
[08:39] Aru
    That sounds great!
[08:41] Aru
    Oh, I don't have club activities during
    the Bon Festival, so let's do it during Bon!
[08:45] Sotoka
    Sure.
[08:46] Bocchi
    Huh? Bon?
[08:48] Nako
    What's the matter?
[08:49] Bocchi
    I visit my grandfather during
    the Bon Festival every year.
[08:53] Bocchi
    So I won't be able to go.
[08:56] Sotoka
    Oh, Master!
[08:58] Aru
    It was just an idea, an idea.
[09:00] Nako
    That's right.
[09:01] Nako
    Aru'll skip club anyway,
    so we can do it anytime.
[09:04] Aru
    Don't assume I will!
[09:08] Bocchi
    Our summer break is starting.
SIGN    Hitori
[09:24] Nako
    Bocchi?
[09:28] Nako
    What? You should've said something
    if you don't have a swimsuit.
[09:31] Nako
    Wearing your school swimsuit's...
[09:33] Sotoka
    Master! We match!
SIGN    Rakita
[09:36] Nako
    You too, Sotoka?!
[09:39] Aru
    Sorry about the wait.
[09:42] Aru
    Tada!
[09:45] Nako
    You overdid it.
[09:47] Aru
    I have a name!
[09:48] Bocchi
    Look, it's the pool! The pool!
[09:51] Sotoka
    It is a pool.
[09:53] Bocchi
    Nako-chan! The pool, the pool!
[09:58] Nako
    Yeah, it's the pool.
[10:01] Aru
    Okay, everyone!
[10:02] Aru
    Let's stretch before we swim.
[10:08] Aru
    Warm-up stretches!
[10:10] Aru
    Okay, one, two, three, four,
[10:13] Sotoka
    Oh! I can use this is in my ninja training!
[10:13] Aru
    five, six, seven, eight.
[10:16] Sotoka
    One, two, three, four.
[10:22] Aru
    Sotoka-chan.
[10:24] Aru
    Please don't stand next to me.
[10:26] Sotoka
    Why not?
[10:27] Aru
    Just because!
[10:28] Bocchi
    I want to go in already!
[10:30] Nako
    You're acting suspicious again.
[10:33] Sotoka
    Is this new training?!
[10:35] Nako
    You're standing out. You're standing out.
[10:39] Bocchi
    It's finally time for the pool!
[10:41] Nako
    Wait.
[10:44] Nako
    Don't forget the sunblock.
[10:45] Bocchi
    Huh?
[10:49] Bocchi
    I want to go in already!
[10:51] Bocchi
    I'll put it on, okay?
[10:52] Nako
    Yeah.
[10:56] Nako
    Stop it!
[10:57] Aru
    What are they doing?
[11:01] Aru
    She's acting suspicious over there, too.
[11:07] Sotoka
    I can do this!
[11:08] Sotoka
    With what I felt just now, I'm certain!
[11:11] Aru
    What are you planning to do?
[11:13] Sotoka
    Ninja Art: Running on Water!
[11:15] Sotoka
    It's time to demonstrate
    the fruits of my training!
[11:18] Aru
    That's impossible.
[11:19] Sotoka
    You can decide whether it's
    impossible after you see this!
[11:28] Aru
    No way!
[11:35] Aru
    See?
[11:36] Bocchi
    Ah, I thought we'd all go
     in the water together.
[11:40] Bocchi
    Nako-chan, let's go.
[11:41] Nako
    I-I'll pass.
[11:43] Bocchi
    Huh?
[11:44] Nako
    I'll watch you all in the pool.
[11:47] Nako
    Do you not like the pool?
[11:51] Nako
    Uh, well...
[11:52] Bocchi
    I see.
[11:53] Bocchi
    It's because you don't like moving much.
[11:56] Nako
    No, no.
[11:57] Nako
    And stop assuming I never want to move.
[12:02] Aru
    You can't run on top of water.
[12:04] Sotoka
    No! I just haven't trained enough!
[12:07] Nako
    Keep this a secret from Aru and Sotoka, okay?
[12:09] Bocchi
    Okay.
[12:11] Nako
    I'm scared of the water.
[12:14] Nako
    I can't swim.
[12:15] Bocchi
    Huh?!
[12:16] Bocchi
    Nako-chan...
[12:17] Bocchi
    Then let's go home!
[12:19] Nako
    You're overreacting!
[12:20] Bocchi
    But...
[12:22] Nako
    Well...
[12:24] Nako
    Okay!
[12:26] Nako
    I'll get in the pool.
[12:28] Nako
    So Bocchi, could you teach me how to swim?
[12:31] Bocchi
    Yeah!
[12:34] Nako
    I'm sure I must have drowned in my past life.
[12:38] Bocchi
    You know what your past life was, Nako-chan?
[12:41] Nako
    No, I'm just joking.
[12:44] Bocchi
    Okay.
[12:47] Bocchi
    You made it in.
[12:49] Nako
    Y-Yeah.
[12:53] Nako
    Why are you so happy?
[12:56] Bocchi
    I'm happy it's the first time
     I'm being helpful to you.
[13:01] Bocchi
    Okay, let's begin.
[13:02] Bocchi
    First, do this.
[13:05] Nako
    I wouldn't have a hard time
     if I could do that.
[13:09] Bocchi
    Then let's start by floating.
[13:11] Bocchi
    Just relax and your body will float.
[13:13] Nako
    Really?
[13:15] Bocchi
    Hold on here, and give it a try.
[13:17] Nako
    O-Okay.
[13:27] Nako
    I can't.
[13:29] Nako
    When I put my face under,
     my body tenses up.
[13:37] Nako
    This is the worst.
[13:38] Aru
    What, what, what?
[13:39] Aru
    Can you not swim?
[13:42] Aru
    Ah, today's the day
     I get one over on Nako!
[13:44] Aru
    Prepare yourself!
[13:46] Aru
    I'm going to make you regret
    calling me unfortunate!
[13:49] Aru
    Oh, but if you're willing to call me
    "Super Class Vice President Aru-sama,"
[13:53] Aru
    then I might just let you off the hook!
[13:55] Aru
    Super Class Vice President, Aru-sa—
[14:07] Nako
    Bocchi, let's continue.
[14:09] Bocchi
    Yeah.
[14:10] Sotoka
    Continue? Continue what?
[14:12] Bocchi
    Huh?
[14:13] Bocchi
    Oh, swimming practice—I mean!
[14:16] Bocchi
    That's not right.
[14:17] Bocchi
    U-Uh...
[14:19] Nako
    You don't need to keep it secret anymore.
[14:24] Bocchi
    You're floating. You're floating.
[14:25] Bocchi
    Now put your face under.
[14:30] Bocchi
    Awesome, awesome!
[14:31] Bocchi
    Way to go, Nako-chan!
[14:33] Nako
    It's just a little bit, though.
[14:35] Sotoka
    Master's teaching you how to swim.
[14:37] Sotoka
    That means you're also
     Master's apprentice for today.
[14:40] Nako
    I guess so.
[14:45] Sotoka
    Let's do it together as fellow apprentices!
[14:49] Nako
    Can you teach the next step then, Master?
[14:52] Bocchi
    Sure!
[14:54] Bocchi
    Uh, once you can float, flutter your legs.
    You have to flutter them like this!
[14:59] Bocchi
    Uh, like this!
[15:01] Sotoka
    Like this?
[15:03] Bocchi
    Perfect!
[15:05] Nako
    She's bad at teaching people.
[15:09] Aru
    There's not really any room
     to tease her anymore.
[15:13] Aru
    Oh well.
[15:14] Aru
    Hey, let me join, too!
[15:18] Nako
    No one was excluding you.
[15:20] Nako
    Good grief, you're unfortunate.
[15:23] Aru
    Who are you calling unfortunate
    when you can't swim?!
[15:26] Nako
    Hey, stop that!
[15:27] Sotoka
    You got me, too!
[15:29] Aru
    Of course you're going to get wet. It's a pool!
[15:34] Bocchi
    Friends...
[15:37] Nako
    What's up?
[15:38] Bocchi
    I'm playing with my friends.
[15:41] Aru
    Of course you are.
SIGN    Karaoke
[15:44] Bocchi
    I can't believe I'm going
    to the pool with everyone
[15:47] Bocchi
    and joining everyone for the first
    time at karaoke on top of that.
[15:52] Bocchi
    I'm so incredibly happy this summer.
[15:55] Nako
    You don't need to announce it over the mic.
[15:57] Bocchi
    I was looking forward to this so much
    yesterday that I couldn't sleep a wink.
[16:01] Nako
    You went to the pool without any sleep?!
[16:03] Aru
    You'll come down with a fever again that way.
[16:06] Aru
    Let's get some drinks first, for now.
[16:11] Aru
    Pick out whichever you like.
[16:13] Sotoka
    Oh! A drink bar!
[16:15] Bocchi
    That's a cool way to say it, Sotoka-san!
[16:17] Sotoka
    Huh? I-It's cool, Master?
[16:20] Bocchi
    It's cool!
[16:22] Sotoka
    Drink bar!
[16:23] Bocchi
    Jrink var!
[16:24] Sotoka
    Drink bar!
[16:25] Bocchi
    Jrink var!
[16:27] Nako
    Hurry up and order.
[16:30] Bocchi
    Huh? The price for this jrink var is...
[16:33] Aru
    Hmm? It's free.
[16:34] Bocchi
    Huh? Free?
[16:36] Bocchi
    No way...
[16:37] Bocchi
    I can't believe you can drink juice for free.
[16:39] Bocchi
    This is my first karaoke parlor,
    but they're going to go under if they do that.
[16:44] Nako
    Most places are like that, though.
[16:46] Bocchi
    I'll just have water.
[16:48] Nako
    It's fine, though.
[16:54] Aru
    Okay, let's start.
[16:56] Aru
    Leading off is the one making
    her karaoke debut today, Bocchi!
[16:59] Aru
    Give it a shot!
[17:00] Bocchi
    Huh?
[17:02] Aru
    What do you want to sing?
[17:04] Bocchi
    Right. You're supposed to sing at karaoke.
[17:08] Bocchi
    In front of others...
[17:09] Bocchi
    In front of others...
[17:11] Bocchi
    In front of others...
[17:12] Aru
    Bocchi, what kind of songs do you like?
[17:15] Bocchi
    In front of others...
[17:16] Aru
    Hey, Bocchi?
[17:17] Bocchi
    In front of others...
[17:19] Bocchi
    In front of others...
[17:19] Aru
    Hey, Bocchi?
[17:21] Bocchi
    I can't!
[17:24] Nako
    Hey.
[17:30] Aru
    I guess it's too challenging
    to just jump in into it.
[17:33] Aru
    Okay, someone else, then.
[17:34] Nako
    I'm fine just listening.
[17:37] Sotoka
    I don't know any Japanese songs, myself.
[17:39] Aru
    Am I the only one singing?
[17:41] Nako
    I'm great at keeping the beat, though.
[17:45] Aru
    You make even that sound like a pain, though.
[17:48] Sotoka
    I memorized the callbacks!
[17:50] Aru
    Why the callbacks?!
[17:51] Aru
    Memorize the song instead!
[17:54] Aru
    Why did all of you come here?
[17:56] Nako
    Now, now, let's hear Sotoka's callbacks.
[17:59] Nako
    Sotoka?
[18:00] Sotoka
    Okay.
[18:01] Sotoka
    Well...
[18:04] Sotoka
    
[18:07] ---
    Iya sasa!
[18:09] Aru
    Why the Okinawan ones?!
[18:11] Sotoka
    Now you sing along with the callbacks.
[18:13] Aru
    Huh?!
[18:14] Nako
    Come on, just go with your thing.
[18:16] Nako
    Lose, Aru. Don't shine, Aru.
[18:19] Aru
    Don't lose, Aru! Shine, Aru!
[18:21] Bocchi
    Oh, that's the song you sang before.
[18:23] Bocchi
    I want to hear it.
[18:25] Aru
    Fine, then.
[18:27] Aru
    J-Just this once, okay?
[18:30] Aru
    Uh...
[18:31] ---
    Iya sasa!
[18:33] Aru
    Already?!
[18:34] ---
    Iya sasa!
[18:37] Aru
    Sotoka-chan, you just want
    to say that, don't you?
[18:39] Sotoka
    Hit it out. Hit it out, Aru!
[18:44] Sotoka
    There's still more I memorized!
[18:45] Aru
    Huh?!
[18:49] Nako
    What's the matter?
[18:51] Bocchi
    Kai-chan.
[18:52] Bocchi
    Kai-chan!
[18:58] Bocchi
    Kai-chan!
[19:05] Kai
    Bo—
[19:07] Kai
    No, we're not friends now, not friends now.
[19:10] Bocchi
    Kai-chan...
[19:11] Nako
    Kai-chan? You mean...
[19:13] Aru
    That girl?
[19:15] Bocchi
    Kai-chan,
[19:17] Bocchi
    do you remember me?
[19:23] Bocchi
    I've
[19:24] Bocchi
    made new friends!
[19:28] Bocchi
    This is Nako-chan.
[19:30] Bocchi
    And this is Aru-chan.
[19:31] Nako
    Hello.
[19:32] Aru
    I'm the world's class vice president!
[19:34] Bocchi
    And Sotoka-san is my apprentice, but...
[19:38] Both
    "Apprentice"?
[19:40] Bocchi
    I'm still a long way from
    befriending the whole class,
[19:43] Bocchi
    but I made some.
[19:44] Bocchi
    I made some friends!
[19:47] Ramu
    Why don't you say something to her?
[19:49] Kai
    It's fine.
[19:50] Keito
    That's the girl you always say
     you're worried about, isn't it?
[19:54] Keito
    You've already run into each other, so...
[19:58] Bocchi
    Kai-chan!
[19:59] Bocchi
    I swear on the Do-Your-Best Fairy!
[20:03] Bocchi
    I will befriend everyone in my class!
[20:07] Bocchi
    And then...
[20:08] Bocchi
    Then...
[20:09] Bocchi
    We can be friends again!
[20:28] Nako
    Just keep at it.
[20:29] Aru
    Don't worry.
[20:31] Aru
    Knowing you, I'm sure...
[20:39] Sotoka
    Master...
[20:46] Kai
    Bocchi...
[20:48] Ramu
    Are you really sure?
[20:50] Kai
    I'm so glad.
[20:51] Keito
    Huh?
[20:52] Kai
    Bocchi made some friends!
[20:55] Kai
    She hasn't come to hate me.
[21:00] Kai
    Bocchi!
[21:02] Bocchi
    Kai-chan!
[21:03] Bocchi
    Kai-chan!
[21:05] Bocchi
    Kai-chan!
[21:07] Both
    Blegh!
[21:09] Both
    Why are you barfing?!
[21:12] Aru
    That was kind of a hectic first time
     at karaoke, wasn't it?
[21:15] Aru
    Bocchi fell asleep, too.
[21:17] Nako
    Apparently she didn't sleep
     a wink last night.
[21:19] Nako
    Sotoka, you ready to trade off yet?
[21:24] Sotoka
    Nako, Aru...
[21:26] Aru
    What?
[21:27] Sotoka
    Is it impossible to be her friend
    while still being her apprentice?
[21:31] Aru
    You want to be her friend?
[21:33] Nako
    You're not quitting the apprentice thing?
[21:37] Sotoka
    I have my reasons for needing
    to learn the art of the ninja.
[21:41] Sotoka
    Family circumstances...
[21:43] Nako
    What kind of family is that?
[21:45] Aru
    Well, why don't you try asking
    your Master when she wakes up?
[21:49] Sotoka
    Yeah.
[21:50] Bocchi
    It was a true dream,
[21:53] Bocchi
    but it wasn't,
[21:55] Bocchi
    Do-Your-Best Fairy!
[21:58] Aru
    What is this Do-Your-Best Fairy?
[22:00] Nako
    This thing, here.
[22:02] Nako
    Apparently she swore on this.
[22:03] Sotoka
    That's Master's master.
[22:07] Bocchi
    The world is still cruel.
[22:10] Bocchi
    But...
[22:12] Bocchi
    Kai-chan...
[22:14] Bocchi
    I made some.
[22:17] Bocchi
    I made some friends.
