    Where could Anju-san be right now?
[07:57] Mira
    I thought we knew Anju-san well,
    but we really don't know much at all.
[08:02] Girl
    You think she hates PriChanning
    so much that she just quit?
[08:07] Girl
    No, that can't be true!
[08:11] Girl
    Hey, have you heard?
[08:12] Girl
    Apparently Anju-sama used
    to go to this school.
[08:16] Girl
    What? Really?
[08:18] Girl
    I never knew that!
[08:19] Mira
    That's right.
[08:20] Mira
    The sparkly lady said the same thing.
[08:26] Rin
    Maybe there's a clue here at school
    that will help us understand how she feels.
[08:31] Mira
    Like a yearbook or an essay!

    That's how she made her dream come true!
[09:36] Rin
    But then why would she quit?
[09:39] Emo
    Yeah, this just makes it more confusing.

    Perhaps we should try another method!
[11:04] Mel
    Just leave it to Mel-Mel!
[11:09] Emo
    Okay, Mel. What's the plan?
[11:12] Mel
    We do this and this and this!

    with her either. I'm worried.
[11:56] Rin
    She won't even see you, Aira-san?
[11:59] Emo
    Then it must be hopeless...

[17:10] Rin
    I never even suspected...
[17:12] Emo
    I couldn't have dreamed up
    such an emolicious coincidence.
[17:15] Mira
    That means... Um, we...
[17:19] Mira
    We should apologize for coming
    here without permission!
[17:21] Mira
    We're sorry!
[17:23] ---
    Please forgive us!
[17:24] Anju
    Don't worry.

    I had a feeling you'd come find me.
[17:30] Anju
    Thank you.
[17:32] Mira
    It's just so unbelievable.
[17:34] Mira
    This means you've always
    been right there watching over us...
[17:39] Anju
    Indeed, I was.
[17:42] Anju
    When you and Emo-chan
    made your PriChan debut...
[17:46] Anju
    When Rinka-chan joined
    as your third member...
[17:49] Anju
    And everything afterward.

    Meltic StAr as well.

    So I did.
[18:31] Anju
    And now that I've achieved that dream,
     I'm comfortable walking away.
[18:39] Anju
    I've reached the summit
    of the PriChan idol world.
[18:42] Anju
    At some point, I realized
    it was time to move on...
[18:47] Anju
    with a heart full of joy and gratitude
     for all those who helped me get here.
[18:55] Anju
    There was just one thing
    I was worried about...
[18:59] Anju
    And that was if there were
    idols to take my place.
[19:05] Anju
    But that's when you sparkling
    PriChanners appeared.
[19:11] Anju
    You're always working so hard.
[19:15] Anju
    Watching you made me so happy.
[19:18] Anju
    And that happiness reaffirmed for me...
[19:23] Anju
    It wasn't a mistake to retire.
[19:26] Anju
    Seeing you like this right now
     makes that crystal clear.
[19:32] Anju
    Now I can move on to my next journey
     with an unburdened heart.

    But...
