[02:57] Mel
    It's a pleasure!
[02:58] Mel
    To meet!
[02:59] Mel
    You all!
[03:01] Mel
    Mel-Mel is so happy to be here!
[03:04] Hika
    She k-k-k-k-kissed me!
[03:08] Mom
    What a passionate greeting!
[03:11] Mom
    But, Mel-Mel-chan, why were you so
    Mel-Mel collapsed out front?
[03:11] Sign
    Mel Mel Mel Mel
[03:15] Mira
    Yeah, that's right.
[03:16] Mira
    Mel-Mel-chan sort of Mel-Melted outside,
    so I Mel-Mel moved her into the store...
[03:23] Hika
    Can't you just call her "Mel-chan"?
[03:27] Mel
    Mel-Mel has returned to keep
    a very important promise!
[03:33] Mel
    I arrived by plane at midnight,
[03:36] Mel
    but I haven't been in Kirarigaoka in so long.
[03:39] Mel
    I was going one way and coming the other,
[03:41] Mel
    and in the end, I collapsed on the sidewalk!
[03:45] Mel
    The map I brought wasn't even any help at all!
[03:49] Mira
    Isn't that a world map?
[03:53] Mel
    But it's still a map, right?
[03:56] Hika
    Mel-chan, you took a plane here?
[03:58] Mel
    Yes!
[04:00] Mel
    Mel-Mel is a returnee from the USA!
[04:04] Hika
    U-S-A?
[04:05] Mira
    You mean from America? That's so cool!
[04:09] Mira
    B-But you're all by yourself?
[04:11] Mira
    Where's your family?
[04:13] Mel
    My parents are also in the USA!
[04:15] Mel
    Mel-Mel is used to traveling
    the world alone, so she's just fine.
[04:20] Hika
    Wow...
[04:21] Mira
    You're amazing, Mel-chan.
[04:23] Mom
    Well, you can stay here awhile.
[04:26] Mom
    But once you're all settled in,
    be sure to let us know.
[04:29] Mel
    Mel?
[04:30] Mel
    What a nice smell!
[04:32] Mel
    Mama, what's this?
[04:34] Mel
    More food for Mel-Mel?
[04:36] Mom
    Well... these are for us to sell, actually...
[04:44] Mom
    W-Would you like to test them?
[04:46] Mel
    Can I? Mama is a very, very nice lady!
[04:52] Hika
    She ate that much and she
    still has room for more?
[04:55] Mira
    I guess she was just that hungry.
[05:01] Mira
    It's Emo-chan!
[05:03] Emo
    Morning, Mirai!
[05:06] Mira
    Emo-chan, are you done with practice?
[05:09] Emo
    The sports festival is tomorrow, you know?
[05:11] Emo
    We were putting the final touches
    on the cheerleaders' dance.
[05:14] Emo
    And Rinka's on the executive committee...
[05:18] Emo
    How's it going for you, Mirai?
[05:20] Emo
    Did you finish designing the
    cheer competition flags?
[05:23] Mira
    Yeah, just about!
[05:25] Emo
    Then let's meet up at
    Prism Stone this afternoon.
[05:28] Emo
    We'll put on the finishing touches there too!
[05:31] Mira
    Got it! See you later, then!
[05:34] Mira
    Whoa, Mel-chan!
[05:37] Mel
    Mama's sweets are so yum-yum-yummy!
[05:40] Mel
    As delicious as can be!
[05:42] Mel
    Wow, it's dazzling! A sparkling star!
[05:47] Mira
    Yeah! That's Kirachu.
[05:49] Mel
    Kirachu? It's so funny, Mira-Mira!
[05:53] Mira
    Funny?
[05:55] Hika
    It means "strange" or "bizarre"...
[05:57] Hika
    But it can also mean "charming!"
[06:01] Mira
    Thanks, Mel-chan!
[06:02] Hika
    Thank you very much!
[06:04] Mel
    Oh yeah!
[06:08] Mira
    What happened, Mom?
[06:12] Mom
    The oven finally broke down.
[06:15] Mom
    It's been acting up for a while, though...
[06:18] Mom
    It's a long holiday... I don't know
    if they'll send someone to fix it.
[06:22] Mel
    Mel?
[06:24] Mel
    Just leave it to Mel-Mel!
[06:26] Mel
    I'll fix this up, no problem!
[06:30] Mira
    You can fix it, Mel-chan?
[06:32] Hika
    No way!
[06:41] Mel
    There! And there!
[06:43] Mel
    Go!
[06:44] Mel
    Ta-dah!
[06:45] Mel
    All done!
[06:48] Mel
    Tap!
[06:53] Mom
    You fixed it so quickly!
[06:56] Mom
    You're amazing, Mel-chan!
[06:57] Mom
    Thank you!
[06:58] Hika
    Thank you very much!
[07:00] Mel
    Oh yeah!
[07:01] Mira
    Just who are you, Mel-chan?
    How is it you can do so many things?
[07:06] Mel
    You can do it!
[07:07] Mel
    There's nothing that can't be done!
[07:09] Mel
    They call me Mel,
    the master of all trades girl!
[07:15] Hika
    Then, hey... can you fix
    the AC in our room too?
[07:20] Hika
    It's been acting up all summer.
[07:22] Mel
    No problem!
[07:28] Mira
    Mel-chan, you did all this?
[07:33] Robo
    Master, which room shall I clean next?
[07:37] Hika
    It talked!
[07:38] Mira
    Wow!
[07:40] Mel
    While I was here, I made a few upgrades too.
[07:44] Mel
    I learned all this in college!
[07:46] Mira
    College? How old are you, Mel-chan?
[07:49] Mel
    I am thirteen!
[07:51] Hika
    Thirteen... like ten-and-three?
[07:55] Hika
    She's the same age as you!
[07:57] Mira
    But you've been to college?
[07:59] Mel
    Yes!
[08:01] Mel
    In the USA, you can jump through the grades!
[08:04] Mel
    Studying was so much fun!
[08:08] Mom
    Mirai! Shouldn't you get going?
[08:11] Mom
    You have a sports festival meet-up
    with Emo-chan, right?
[08:15] Mira
    What? Is it that time already?
[08:17] Mom
    Here! Your lunch for today.
[08:19] Mom
    Make sure you girls eat it all.
[08:22] Mira
    Thank you, Mom!
[08:23] Mira
    Okay, I'm off!
[08:25] Mel
    Lunch? More of Mama's food!
[08:27] Mel
    Mel-Mel's ready to go!
[08:29] ---
    What?
[08:30] Mira
    You're coming with?
[08:37] Mel
    Kirajuku's changed as
    much as Kirarigaoka has.
[08:41] Mel
    So cute!
[08:42] Mira
    Do you know this area, Mel-chan?
[08:46] Mel
    I lived in Kirarigaoka
    until I moved to the USA.
[08:50] Mel
    I always came to Kirajuku for fun!
[08:54] Mira
    Then I wonder if maybe
     we've run into each other before.
[09:01] Mel
    Sparkle!
[09:02] Mira
    What sparkle?
[09:04] Mel
    The sparkle of a twinkle star!
[09:07] Mel
    I found Mel-Mel Star!
[09:10] Mira
    A star?
[09:12] Mira
    Oh, that? I think that's a comet.
    It's been in the news, but not much.
[09:19] Mel
    Yes, a sparkling comet!
[09:21] Mel
    You know a lot about astronomy, Mira-Mira?
[09:25] Mira
    I have a friend who's taught me some things.
[09:27] Mira
    That's a star that travels
    all around the universe.
[09:30] Mira
    We can only see it faintly right now,
[09:33] Mira
    but when it gets close to Earth,
     it'll be super stunning!
[09:36] Mel
    But it's so small and no one's
    really talking about it...
[09:41] Mira
    Yeah. I'd forgotten all about it.
[09:45] Mira
    Do you like stars, Mel-chan?
[09:48] Mira
    Even that little—
[09:50] Mira
    Wait, huh?
[09:52] Mel
    What's this, what's this?!
    So cute! Exciting!
[09:56] Mel
    Wow! Amazing! This is very wonderful!
[09:59] Mel
    Is this Japanese horror?
[09:59] Mira
    No, stop!
[10:04] Mel
    Prism Stone!
[10:06] Mel
    It's also so cute! And it's been so long!
[10:09] Mira
    M-Mel-chan...
[10:11] Mira
    You've gotta slow down some!
[10:13] Mira
    I bet this is how you got lost.
[10:16] Emo
    Mirai, you're late!
[10:19] Emo
    We've been waiting!
[10:21] Mira
    Sorry, Emo-chan, Rinka-chan.
[10:24] Rin
    Oh? Who's this?
[10:25] Rin
    Oh, um, this is...
[10:27] Rin
    Are you Mira-Mira's friends?
[10:29] Emo
    "Mira-Mira"?
[10:31] Mel
    Hello-hello!

[10:34] Mel
    Please call Mel-Mel "Mel-Mel"!

    Mel Mel
[10:37] Emo
    Wha? Mel-Mel-Mel-Mel?
[10:40] Emo
    Mel-Mel... "Mel"?
[10:43] Mira
    She collapsed from hunger
    in front of our store earlier.
[10:47] Emo
    For real?
[10:48] Mira
    I think she just got back
    to Kirarigaoka and got lost.
[10:52] Rin
    Got lost?
[10:57] Emo
    So we've got a mysterious
     beauty on our hands, huh?
[10:59] Emo
    Nice to meet you, Mel-Mel!

    I know!

    M-Mirai...
[11:24] Mira
    Mel-chan is very passionate
     about meeting people.
[11:29] Emo
    That tickles!
[11:31] ---
    Knock it off!
[11:33] Mega
    Isn't that...
[11:37] Mega
    Could it really be?
[11:54] Emo
    Emolicious!
[11:55] Rin
    That's our Mirai-chan!
    What a charming design.
[11:58] Mira
    Are you sure?
[12:00] Mira
    You think we can make cheer
    competition flags based on this?
[12:03] Emo
    The cheer competition is the main event
    in the middle of the sports festival.
[12:07] Emo
    We need these to be totally emolicious!
[12:10] Mira
    That's so much pressure... I'm nervous.
[12:13] Rin
    If we all work together, it'll be just fine.
[12:16] Rin
    Let's ask for opinions on a
    PriChan stream as we work on them.
[12:20] Emo
    We can call it "Make Miracle Kiratts
    Cheer Flags? We Tried It!"
[12:24] Rin
    Yeah!
[12:25] Emo
    It could be a totally emolicious show!
[12:27] Mira
    Yeah! Let's give it a good ol' sparkling try.
[12:29] Emo
    Then let's get right on the air!
[12:32] Emo
    Or so I'd like to say, but first...
[12:37] Emo
    Don't hog all of Mirai's mom's bagels!
[12:41] Mel
    No!
[12:41] Mel
    This is Mel-Mel's special lunch!
[12:44] Emo
    Leave some for the rest of us!
[12:47] Mel
    Mel-Mel is hungry!
[12:49] Emo
    We're hungry too!
[12:53] Yuz
    The studio's all ready... Huh?
[12:57] Yuz
    Has the show started already?
[12:58] Mira
    Th-This isn't the show!

    Hold it!
