**[00:04] Miracle**
Hey, it's me, Miracle!
**[00:07] Miracle**
I'm *really* nervous right now,
**[00:10] Miracle**
because Ultimate is about to start.
**[00:14] Miracle**
Ultimate is a racing game created by the
students of ADEN's XR Technology Course.
**[00:21] Miracle**
It's streamed to ADEN Academies
all over the world,
**[00:25] Miracle**
and students can participate by connecting
to the server closest to their own school.
**[00:31] Miracle**
You ride a fogelboard, overcoming
obstacles to reach the goal.
**[00:37] Miracle**
And I heard that if you get first place,
you can do a special performance!
**[00:43] Miracle**
A lot of people will be watching,
**[00:46] Miracle**
so this is my chance to raise my
ranking a whole bunch, right?
**[00:49] Miracle**
That's why I'm going to get first place and
do a performance where I give it my all.
**[00:54] Miracle**
Cheer me on, everybody.
**[00:57] Miracle**
Okay...
**[01:01] Miracle**
Off I go!
***SIGN*** Fight!
***SIGN*** See ya!
***SIGN*** You can do it!!
***SIGN*** Good luck
**[01:04] [SONG] Song**
Let’s go all the way, until
we reach the greatest stage
**[01:15] [SONG] Song**
The ground I stood on only looked distorted
**[01:21] [SONG] Song**
Because I saw it through tears of frustration
**[01:25] [SONG] Song**
But standing still isn’t like me!
**[01:30] [SONG] Song**
So I ran like crazy until I was out of breath
**[01:36] [SONG] Song**
No matter how many times I
get discouraged, I still love it
**[01:40] [SONG] Song**
I believe in my friends, and in
the me that’s chasing my dream
**[01:49] [SONG] Song**
Let our sparkling minds spout up
**[01:51] [SONG] Song**
Ride on this future wave!
We’ll go beyond this unstoppable thrill
**[01:56] [SONG] Song**
Race through with all our might
to find the sky we want to see
**[02:01] [SONG] Song**
Each time a dream comes true, the new “now”
is my new starting line, over and over without end
**[02:07] [SONG] Song**
Ride toward the future! The next step we take
**[02:12] [SONG] Song**
Will give rise to opportunity, as
much as all the courage we have
**[02:16] [SONG] Song**
Our shared wish binds us together
as we ride this tailwind
**[02:22] [SONG] Song**
How far can we go? With
our hands linked tightly
**[02:27] [SONG] Song**
Let’s go all the way, until
we reach the greatest stage

~Unpredictable Ultimate~
**[02:41] Chris**
Beautiful.
**[02:42] Miracle**
Right?
**[02:44] Miracle**
marumaru and I designed it.
**[02:46] Miracle**
I feel like it gives me
extra power when I ride it!
**[02:49] marumaru**
I'm glad you're excited for this,
but did you learn to ride a fogelboard?
**[02:54] Chris**
I've got the accelerator, turbo, special turbo,
and hyper jet turbo all down pat!
**[02:59] Noelle**
Do you know... where the brakes are?
**[03:02] Miracle**
I have to get to the goal quickly.
I don't have time for brakes...
**[03:05] Noelle**
You'd better!
**[03:08] marumaru**
Look, tap this button with your
foot and it'll flip the brake.
**[03:12] Miracle**
Tap it with my foot?
**[03:14] Miracle**
Got it.
**[03:15] Miracle**
If I end up needing it...
**[03:17] marumaru**
Please *use* it!
**[03:19] Miracle**
Brakes slow you down, right?
Isn't it better not to use them?
**[03:19] Game Narrator**
Welcome to Ultimate! Everybody, have fun!
**[03:24] marumaru**
No, if you hit a curve at full throttle,
you might fall off the course.
**[03:25] Game Narrator**
Get ready!
**[03:28] Game Narrator**
Three, two, one!
**[03:29] marumaru**
You need to control your
speed and use the brakes...
**[03:31] Game Narrator**
Go for it!
**[03:41] Noelle**
It's started!
**[03:42] Chris**
The race's begun!
**[03:43] marumaru**
Oh, no!
**[03:45] marumaru**
Hit the accelerator!
**[03:46] Miracle**
I am! But...
**[03:48] Miracle**
It's not moving!
**[03:49] marumaru**
Your right foot! It's still on the brake!
**[03:52] Miracle**
Oh, right!
**[04:09] Chris**
We got knocked off the
course at the obstacle.
**[04:12] Chris**
This is game over.
**[04:13] Noelle**
Just like that? No way!
**[04:18] marumaru**
I see.
**[04:19] marumaru**
That's the real course...
**[04:21] marumaru**
The arrow was telling you to go up!
**[04:25] Miracle**
E-Everyone...
**[04:29] Riz**
Don't worry.
**[04:32] Riz**
They're all at the portal area.
**[04:38] XRT Student 1**
Too bad for you!
**[04:41] XRT Student 1**
Now that it's game over for you,
**[04:44] XRT Student 1**
you'll have to cheer on the
other racers from this room.
**[04:47] XRT Student 2**
Of course, you'll have to
play a punishment game, too.
**[04:51] Noelle**
A punishment game?
**[04:59] Noelle**
What is this?!
**[05:02] Miracle**
I see.
**[05:04] Riz**
So, see you later.
**[05:07] Riz**
Shouldn't you be going faster?
**[05:08] Riz**
You're in last place.
**[05:15] Riz**
Not that it's my problem, I guess.
**[05:22] Miracle**
marumaru, Noelle, Chris...
**[05:27] Miracle**
I won't let your deaths be in vain!
**[05:29] Noelle**
We're not dead.
**[05:31] Chris**
Go! Go!
**[05:42] Miracle**
What's this?
**[05:59] Miracle**
Wait!
**[06:05] Miracle**
*Maybe...*
**[06:11] Miracle**
That's it!
**[06:12] Miracle**
I need to pass over the
shining spots on the floor!
**[06:18] Chris**
A score?
**[06:19] XRT Student 2**
You noticed?
**[06:20] XRT Student 1**
Yes, this is a rhythm game course.
**[06:23] XRT Student 1**
Ride on top of all the right notes
and get a high score, and...
**[06:32] XRT Student 1**
a speed boost!
**[06:35] XRT Student 1**
Well? Pretty exciting, right?
**[06:45] Miracle**
What is this? I'm going so slow!
**[06:47] XRT Student 1**
Make a mistake and your speed goes down.
Too many and it's game over!
**[06:52] marumaru**
This might be tough for her.
**[06:54] Chris**
Yeah.
**[06:56] Noelle**
But Miracle knows the importance
of connecting to the music.
**[07:01] Noelle**
So I'm sure...
**[07:04] Miracle**
I need to get into a rhythm and
not make any more mistakes!
**[07:10] Miracle**
Oh, no! I'm ahead of the beat!
**[07:18] Miracle**
*Maybe...*
**[07:19] Miracle**
*Next!*
**[07:20] Miracle**
*And the one after that!*
**[07:23] Miracle**
* If you go slightly ahead or behind*
* the beat depending on the melody,*
**[07:26] Miracle**
* instead of trying to do it all at*
* the same speed, it feels great!*
**[07:36] Miracle**
Okay!
**[07:37] Miracle**
Time to connect more with
the song, the music...
**[07:39] Miracle**
...and the rhythm!
**[07:50] XRT Student 1**
She made the secret notes appear.
**[07:53] marumaru/Noelle**
Yes!
**[07:54] Miracle**
Go!
**[07:57] Miracle**
Turbo!
**[08:02] Girls**
No way!
**[08:03] Girls**
How'd she get a score that high?
**[08:14] Riz**
Vanity, display her channel.
**[08:17] Vanity**
*Understood.*
**[08:24] Vanity**
Miracle, huh?
**[08:28] Miracle**
Go, go! Go, go!
**[08:31] Miracle**
Plz spread?
**[08:31] Sign**
Plz Spread
**[08:33] Sign**

**[08:33] Sign**
Someone I know in the XR
Technology course just told
me this. A lucky avatar is hidden
somewhere in Ultimate. If you
defeat it, you'll get a high score
and a big speed boost.
The one who defeats the lucky
avatar will win the race!
Tell this to everyone.
**[08:34] Miracle**
Someone I know in the XR Technology
course just told me this.
**[08:40] Miracle**
Huh?! This is amazing!
**[08:44] Miracle**
I need to tell everybody!
**[08:47] Riz**
Message
**[08:48] Riz**
It's from Miracle!
**[08:50] Riz**
"Plz Spread"?
**[08:52] Riz**
A lucky avatar is hidden
somewhere in Ultimate?
**[08:57] marumaru**
If you defeat it, you'll get a high
score and a big speed boost!
**[09:00] marumaru**
The one who defeats the lucky
avatar will win the race!
**[09:04] marumaru**
Tell this to everyone...?
**[09:08] Girls**
That's awesome.
**[09:09] Girls**
Hey, don't you think it's her?
**[09:15] Girls**
It *has* to be her.
**[09:17] Girls**
She went straight for the main course
like she knew about that first obstacle.
**[09:21] Girls**
And even though she was in last place,
**[09:23] Girls**
she somehow got a high score that
boosted her place by a lot.
**[09:26] Miracle**
Now everybody knows about the lucky avatar!
**[09:29] Miracle**
The race is sure to be more fun.
**[09:34] Miracle**
Wh-Wh-What?
**[09:36] Girls**
You're the lucky avatar, right?
**[09:39] Miracle**
N-No.
**[09:40] Girls**
You can't fool us.
**[09:45] Chris**
They all think Miracle is the lucky avatar.
**[09:49] XRT Student 1**
We didn't put anything
like that in the program!
**[09:53] XRT Student 2**
It's no good! I can't fix it because they
keep changing the passcodes to lock me out!
**[10:00] XRT Student 2**
Somebody probably spread
the rumor deliberately.
**[10:04] Riz**
It's fake news, huh?
**[10:17] Miracle**
What do I do? What do I do?
**[10:23] Riz**
This way.
**[10:24] Miracle**
U-Um...
**[10:26] Miracle**
Breaking News
**[10:27] marumaru**
There's a message!
**[10:29] Noelle**
More fake news?
**[10:31] Chris**
No, this is...
**[10:33] Chris**
A message saying that the account
that spread the information
**[10:36] Chris**
about the lucky avatar has
already been abandoned.
**[10:41] XRT Student 2**
I've got access to Ultimate again!
**[10:44] XRT Student 1**
Tell the contestants!
**[10:47] Girls**
That's strange...
**[10:49] Girls**
Where did she go?
**[10:51] Girls**
She should be around here...
**[10:52] Girls**
Let's go a little further.
**[10:54] Girls**
Yeah.
**[10:54] Girls**
I wish she wouldn't make this hard.
**[10:56] Girls**
I'll find her.
**[10:57] Riz**
I'm Riz.
**[10:59] Riz**
You're Miracle, right?
**[11:00] Miracle**
Y-Yeah.
**[11:01] Riz**
That information about the lucky avatar
made a mess of everything, huh?
**[11:05] Riz**
But it's okay now.
**[11:08] XRT Student 1**
*Everyone!*
**[11:10] XRT Student 1**
* That information about the*
* lucky avatar was fake news!*
**[11:14] XRT Student 1**
*Don't be deceived! Focus on the race!*
**[11:18] Miracle**
Fake news?
**[11:19] Riz**
Yup.
**[11:21] Miracle**
Are you the one who told everyone?
**[11:24] Riz**
I think everyone watching from the
portal area figured out it was fake news, too.
**[11:30] Miracle**
Then...
**[11:31] Miracle**
I'm the only one who believed it?
**[11:33] Riz**
You and those girls.
**[11:38] Miracle**
S-Sorry... for spreading fake news.
**[11:42] Riz**
It's the fault of whoever made it up.
**[11:46] Riz**
And... your desire to do something
for everyone is good.
**[11:50] Riz**
But I think you should've checked
before you spread it to everyone.
**[11:57] Miracle**
You're right.
**[11:59] Riz**
When you get a new piece of news,
the first thing you need to do is fact check it.
**[12:03] Miracle**
Fact check?
**[12:07] Riz**
Get information from a variety of angles
to find the source of the news.
**[12:13] Riz**
A source you can trust, that is.
**[12:15] Riz**
But fact checking is hard and it's not a
100% surefire way to fight against fake news.
**[12:21] Riz**
So if you're suspicious or don't think
you can trust the news you hear...
**[12:27] Riz**
Don't spread it.
**[12:29] Miracle**
Yes, ma'am!
**[12:31] Riz**
Once something's out on the internet,
you can never get rid of it.
**[12:35] Riz**
You know that, right!
**[12:38] Miracle**
I do...
**[12:41] Riz**
Well, this particular bit of fake news was a
nasty one that took advantage of your kindness.
**[12:47] Riz**
Like they were trying something out...
**[12:50] Riz**
Okay, that's enough talking and
reflecting on what you did wrong.
**[12:54] Riz**
Let's get back to racing.
**[12:56] Miracle**
Okay!
**[13:02] Miracle**
Riz, it says it's the final course!
**[13:07] Riz**
Yeah.
**[13:08] Miracle**
Two courses? Which is the right one?
**[13:13] Girls**
You can't win by just standing there!
**[13:25] Girls**
The left side's the right way.
**[13:27] Girls**
I'll be the one to get first place!
**[13:36] Miracle**
We can't take the left
path or the right one?
**[13:40] Miracle**
What's going on?
**[13:42] Riz**
ATST...?
**[13:43] Miracle**
ATST? What's that?
**[13:46] Riz**
It was on that sign we passed.
**[13:49] Riz**
It's short for "At the Same Time."
**[13:53] Riz**
Does that mean that as you're racing,
**[13:55] Riz**
you need to be doing something
else at the same time?
**[13:58] Riz**
Like maybe hit the brake and accelerator at
the same time, like you did at the start?
**[14:03] Riz**
Or...
**[14:04] Miracle**
I've got it!
**[14:06] Miracle**
It means you and I have to do
the course at the same time!
**[14:11] Riz**
I see!
**[14:13] Miracle**
You take the right course.
**[14:15] Miracle**
I'll take the left one.
**[14:17] Riz**
If you want to go forward,
you don't do it alone...
**[14:21] Riz**
You do it at the same time...
**[14:22] Miracle**
as somebody else...
**[14:23] Miracle/Riz**
And run both courses together!
**[14:33] Noelle**
They'll be knocked out!
**[14:51] Miracle**
It's beautiful!
**[14:53] Riz**
Miracle, in front of you!
**[14:58] Miracle**
Where's the goal?
**[15:01] Riz**
The future is always hidden
in the darkness...
**[15:05] Riz**
You don't know what will happen...
**[15:07] Riz**
but if you jump in without being afraid...
**[15:10] Riz**
perhaps your fear will turn into joy!
**[15:17] Miracle**
*I-I'm scared! But...*
**[15:20] Miracle**
* marumaru's here. Noelle and*
* Chris are watching, too...*
**[15:25] Miracle**
* I'm going to get first place and have*
* everyone watch my performance...*
**[15:30] Miracle**
*raise my ranking...*
**[15:31] Miracle**
*get to the Virtual Grid Awards...*
**[15:34] Miracle**
*and win the Lapin d'Or!*
**[15:58] Riz**
Miracle!
**[16:00] Miracle**
Th-That was so scary!
**[16:07] Riz**
If you were scared, why did you follow me?
**[16:09] Miracle**
Because...
**[16:11] Miracle**
You were my source, Riz!
**[16:13] Miracle**
You're the one who told me to find
a source I could trust, right?
**[16:18] Miracle**
That's why.
**[16:20] Riz**
You trusted me and jumped in?
**[16:23] Miracle**
Yup!
**[16:28] Miracle**
Your source was me! Me?
**[16:36] Miracle**
Is that strange?
**[16:38] Riz**
It's strange.
**[16:39] Riz**
You're a strange girl, Miracle.
**[16:43] Miracle**
Does that mean...
**[16:45] Riz**
There's the goal button.
**[16:46] Riz**
So first place is mine, okay?
**[16:56] Miracle**
No fair!
**[16:59] Riz**
You should've stayed sharp until the end!
**[17:03] [SONG] Song**
Change the world, I'll
show you I can change it
**[17:07] [SONG] Song**
As I go day by day with my heart aflutter
**[17:20] [SONG] Song**
There's data predicting the
future lined up on my desk
**[17:27] [SONG] Song**
I'll show you the optimal answer I've derived
**[17:34] [SONG] Song**
No matter what, I want to be true to myself
**[17:41] [SONG] Song**
It's time to start running again
today, come on and keep up
**[17:46] [SONG] Song**
Take off, are you ready to go?
Don't be late for the ride
**[17:53] [SONG] Song**
I'll take you to a future
nobody's seen before
**[18:02] [SONG] Song**
Change the world, I'll
show you I can change it
**[18:06] [SONG] Song**
Tonight, I'll show you the
world come to life in color
**[18:13] [SONG] Song**
Change the world, dreaming night and day
**[18:16] [SONG] Song**
If the present continues into the future,
I know these tears aren't for nothing
**[18:23] [SONG] Song**
As I go day by day with my heart aflutter
at the light I'm about to bring
**[18:36] Miracle**
Your performance was great!
**[18:43] Miracle**
Your ranking went way up!
**[18:45] Miracle**
I'm so jealous! I wanted to get first place!
**[18:48] Miracle**
But if I got 1st place, I guess I couldn't
have seen your performance...
**[18:54] Riz**
"You were my source, Riz!"
**[18:56] Miracle**
Are you still laughing about that?
**[18:58] Riz**
I could laugh about it forever!
**[18:59] Riz**
I even wrote it down!
**[19:01] Miracle**
You wrote it down?!
**[19:02] Riz**
I got first place, so they gave
me the data on the race.
**[19:05] Miracle**
You get the data as a bonus?
**[19:07] marumaru**
That Riz girl...
**[19:09] Chris**
...seems to really like Miracle!
**[19:14] Noelle**
Does she?
**[19:17] Riz**
Let's be friends, Miracle.
**[19:20] Riz**
I'm really interested in you!
**[19:31] Auris**
We got some interesting data this time.
**[19:48] [SONG] Song**
I became aware of my love
**[19:59] [SONG] Song**
Hey, I want you to tell me how you feel
**[20:04] [SONG] Song**
So I pull in the rope of truth
**[20:09] [SONG] Song**
The neon of the electronic world where
we intersect is burned into my brain
**[20:14] [SONG] Song**
Flashing by in the gaps between
boring days, a wisp of wind
**[20:20] [SONG] Song**
Caresses my cheek, and I pray that
**[20:25] [SONG] Song**
The unexpected arrow of my admiration
**[20:30] [SONG] Song**
Will reach you, hey, right now
**[20:35] [SONG] Song**
I want to see you so
much, I can't stop crying
**[20:38] [SONG] Song**
Baby baby, even though we're tiny
**[20:43] [SONG] Song**
I breathe so I can feel your voice, your form
**[20:49] [SONG] Song**
Maybe maybe, in just a
little corner of the world
**[20:53] [SONG] Song**
If we can overcome thousands of
nights and connect with each other
**[20:59] [SONG] Song**
I am waiting for... forever

Hello, it's Chris!
**[21:11] Noelle**
Good day. It's me, Noelle.
**[21:14] Chris**
Noelle looked really bored,
so we're streaming together.
**[21:18] Noelle**
What do you mean I looked bored?
**[21:23] Chris**
I think that came out wrong.
**[21:25] Chris**
Let me try that again.
**[21:27] Chris**
Miracle got a new friend this week,
and Noelle seemed a little lonely...
**[21:34] Noelle**
No! That's not true at all!
**[21:39] Noelle**
Wh-What?
**[21:41] Chris**
I see tear streaks.
**[21:42] Noelle**
You're kidding!

I'm kidding.

Limited Shiritori!
**[21:49] Noelle**
Where did that come from?

Limited Shiritori is a type of shiritori
where you can only say words
**[21:55] Chris**
that have to do with a certain theme.
**[21:58] Chris**
Noelle and I are going to play it now.

We are.
**[22:06] Noelle**

**[22:07] Chris**
The theme is "Words that
would make Miracle excited."
**[22:11] Chris**
This is a type of Limited Shiritori that only
two people who know Miracle well can play.
**[22:17] Noelle**
Hmm... that's right.
**[22:20] Noelle**
Someone who'd only just become friends
with her today wouldn't be able to play it.
**[22:26] Noelle**
Let's do it! Let's play Limited Shiritori!
**[22:29] Chris**
It's cute how easy Noelle is to manipulate.
**[22:31] Noelle**
Did you say something?
**[22:32] Chris**
No.
**[22:34] Chris**
A Limited Shiritori AI app
I developed will be the judge.
**[22:40] Noelle**
What?
**[22:41] Noelle**
When did you have time to make that?
**[22:44] Chris**
That's a secret.
**[22:45] Noelle**
Sometimes I don't get you, Chris.
**[22:50] Chris**
Limited Shiritori! The theme is
"Words that would make Miracle excited!"
**[22:54] Noelle**
Okay, let's do this!
**[22:56] Noelle**
Let's do it!
**[22:57] Chris**
I'll start.
**[22:59] Noelle**
You?
**[23:01] Sign**
Kizuna AI
**[23:01] Chris**
Kizuna AI.
**[23:04] Noelle**
I was going to say that.
**[23:09] Noelle**
Wait... wait...
**[23:10] Noelle**
I...
**[23:11] Noelle**
A word that starts with I that
would make Miracle excited...
**[23:14] Noelle**
I...
**[23:15] Noelle**
Iiiyaaay!
**[23:15] Noelle**
Iiyay!
**[23:20] Chris**
"Iiyay"?
**[23:23] Noelle**
Sorry, give me a sec.
**[23:24] Noelle**
My head went blank.
**[23:26] Noelle**
"Iiyay?" "Iiyay"?
**[23:28] Noelle**
My first word was an onomatopoeia...
**[23:29] Noelle**
I sound kind of stupid.
**[23:31] Chris**
"Yay" isn't an onomatopoeia.
**[23:34] Chris**
It's called an "interjection."
**[23:36] Noelle**
Don't make it worse, Chris!
