[01:57] Kazuho
    Need the toothpicks?
[01:59] Renge
    Thanks.
[02:02] Renge
    See you later.
[02:41] Renge
    I started first grade this spring.
[02:46] Renge
    There are five students at our branch school.
[03:07] Renge
    I guess this really is the country.
[03:11] Renge
    But we still have fun every day.

SIGN    I Played the Frog Song
[04:49] Konomi
    Morning, Renge-chan.
[04:51] Konomi
    You're earlier than usual today.
[04:59] Renge
    Konomi-nee, what's that?
[05:02] Konomi
    A flute.
[05:04] Renge
    Flute?
[05:05] Konomi
    It's a musical instrument. Like a recorder,
    but you hold it horizontally.
[05:09] Renge
    Do you play it for one of
    your high school classes?
[05:12] Konomi
    No, I'm in the school concert band.
[05:15] Konomi
    We play all kinds of different
    instruments there.
[05:19] Renge
    I have music class today,
[05:22] Renge
    but I can't get "do" to come out right.
[05:26] Konomi
    Want to practice together
    at my house next time?
[05:43] Konomi
    Are you going anywhere over the long weekend?
[05:46] Hotaru
    Just shopping with my parents. Mama—
[05:49] Hotaru
    I mean, my mother has
    something she wants to buy.
[05:52] Natsumi
    Nee-chan, I wanna go shopping, too.
[05:55] Komari
    Didn't Mom tell you to clean your room first?
[06:01] Natsumi
    Ren-chon, you're here early.
[06:03] Komari
    You're practicing?
[06:05] Renge
    I want to be able to play
    this song right for someone.
[06:08] Hotaru
    Who?
[06:10] Renge
    It's a secret.
[06:11] Renge
    And I'm gonna practice with Konomi-nee soon.
[06:14] Komari
    Oh, right. Konomi-chan plays
    the flute at her high school.
[06:18] Kazuho
    Morning, everyone.

    Ren-chon, you've improved a lot,
    but that one note's a bit squeaky.
[06:58] Kazuho
    We'll be playing this same song
    next time we have music class.
[07:02] Kazuho
    Keep working at it.
[07:03] Renge
    Okay.
[07:08] Natsumi
    I'm starving!
[07:22] Natsumi

    Hotarun | Koma-chan
[07:26] Natsumi
    Nee-chan, aren't you done
    with class duty stuff yet?
[07:30] Komari
    Don't rush with me. I only just got started.
[07:34] Natsumi
    Well, I'm bored. Get it done faster.
[07:37] Komari
    Get up and help, then.
[07:39] Natsumi
    I'm not on duty.
[07:43] Natsumi
    Ren-chon, what're the toothpicks for?
[07:46] Renge
    I brought them so I could make a doll.
[07:49] Natsumi
    A doll? How?
[07:51] Renge
    First...
[07:52] Renge
    You wrap clear tape around
    them to make them thicker.
[07:56] Renge
    That's how you make the arms and legs.
[08:00] Renge
    Then you put them together
    in the shape you want, and...
[08:05] Renge
    It's done! The doll is done!
[08:08] Natsumi
    Huh, that's a pretty easy way to make a doll.
[08:11] Natsumi
    Maybe I'll try making one.
[08:13] Renge
    We can play with these until they're
    done with their class duties.

[08:26] Renge
    I made it out of tape.
[08:28] Renge
    I made the speech bubble out of tape, too.
[08:30] Hotaru
    Wow, that's pretty cool.
[08:32] Renge
    Make one with us when you're done working.
[08:36] Hotaru
    Sure, I'd love to.
[08:42] Natsumi
    Hey, hey, Nee-chan! Aren't you done yet?
[08:46] Natsumi
    Quite taking so long!
[08:48] Natsumi
    Get it done already and
    come play dolls with us!
[08:59] Natsumi
    That's not right!
[09:00] Natsumi
    I did the same thing Ren-chon did,
    but the reaction was totally different!
[09:03] Natsumi
    And you ripped off its torso! That's harsh!
[09:05] Renge
    Nattsun! I've got an extra torso!
[09:07] Renge
    Fix it with this!
[09:08] Natsumi
    Way to go, Ren-chon! You're always prepared!
[09:27] Natsumi
    All right! It looks even
    more like a dachshund now.
[09:31] Komari
    It's... not a bear?
[09:33] Komari
    Whatever.
[09:35] Komari
    Hotaru, were you filling out the class log?
[09:38] Hotaru
    Yes, but I'm not quite done yet.
[09:41] Komari
    What do you have left?
[09:43] Hotaru
    Well, I'm done with the
    class records and stuff,
[09:46] Hotaru
    but I still have the part about my
    thoughts and ideas for improvement.
[09:49] Komari
    Then let's wrap that up
    quick and be done with it.
[09:52] Hotaru
    Yeah. Was there anything about today
    that you think could be improved?
[09:56] Komari
    Hmm... Natsumi was annoying
    during music class.
[09:59] Komari
    Also, she ate three servings
    of curry during lunch,
[10:03] Komari
    and she was off playing around
    during the study period... and...
[10:06] Natsumi
    I object, dachs!
[10:08] Natsumi
    Kazu-nee was sleeping during
    the study period, dachs.
[10:11] Natsumi
    I don't think Natsumi-chan
    should shoulder all the blame, dachs.
[10:15] Natsumi
    So don't write about Natsumi-chan, dachs.
[10:18] Natsumi
    Write about Kazu-nee, dachs!
[10:20] Hotaru
    U-Um, Komari-senpai, what do I do now?
[10:23] Komari
    It's fine. Don't worry about it.
    Just make it all about Natsumi.
[10:27] Natsumi
    Don't, dachs! Don't, dachs!
[10:29] Natsumi
    When you write about me all the
    time, Mom hears about it, dachs!
[10:33] Komari
    Oh, all right, fine! You can give it a rest!
[10:36] Komari
    We'll write about Kazu-nee,
    so just shut up already!
[10:39] Komari
    Also, just making its torso longer
    doesn't make it look like a dachshund.
[10:43] Natsumi
    'Kay.
[10:44] Natsumi
    Let's play, Ren-chon.
[10:46] Renge
    'Kay.
[10:47] Komari
    Sheesh...
[10:49] Komari
    Okay, for things that could've
    been improved today,
[10:51] Komari
    we'll say the teacher fell asleep
    and should be more careful.
[10:55] Hotaru
    Okay.
[10:56] Komari
    Oh, put Sensei down for coming in late, too.
[10:58] Hotaru
    Oh, this part isn't just for students?
[11:01] Komari
    As for thoughts about today...
[11:04] Komari
    I don't know... I can't think of anything.
[11:07] Komari
    I guess we can just put that
    Natsumi ate too much curry—
[11:10] Natsumi
    You're writing about me anyway?!
[11:12] Natsumi
    So you were lying when you said
    you wouldn't?! That's dirty!
[11:16] Komari
    I never said we weren't going to.
[11:18] Komari
    I just said we'd write about Kazu-nee.
[11:20] Natsumi
    You're such a pain!
[11:22] Renge
    Nattsun, calm down!
[11:23] Renge
    I made a new doll! We'll play with this one!
[11:27] Natsumi
    Don't stop me, Ren-chon!
[11:29] Natsumi
    I can't be calm about—
[12:13] Komari
    Okay, now that Natsumi's frozen,
    let's finish the class log.

    R-Right...
SIGN    Faculty Room
[12:20] Komari
    That took way too long since
    Natsumi kept butting in.
[12:24] Hotaru
    Well, all that's left is to take
    the class log to the faculty room.
[12:28] Natsumi
    What should we do when we get home?
[12:31] Renge
    We still have time before the bus comes,
[12:33] Renge
    so we can keep playing with dolls.
[12:35] Natsumi
    How long until it gets here?
[12:37] Renge
    An hour.
[12:39] Komari
    Excuse us.
[12:40] Natsumi
    Hey, Kazu-nee's sleeping again!
[12:43] Natsumi
    I told you, Nee-chan!
    Kazu-nee's the one who needs to improve!
[12:47] Komari
    I wondered why she wasn't
    coming to the classroom...
[12:51] Komari
    We have time before the bus gets here, right?
[12:55] Komari
    So...
[13:04] Kazuho
    Oh, shoot! I fell asleep.
[13:06] Kazuho
    I need to finish organizing the print-outs...

[14:06] Akane
    This isn't working.
    It's just not coming out right.
[14:10] Akane
    And playing in front of people makes
    me nervous, which makes it even worse,
[14:14] Akane
    and when I practice with other kids,
    I'm too embarrassed to ask for help...
[14:18] Akane
    Maybe someone who's so anxious with
    strangers isn't cut out for concert band.
[14:23] Akane
    Wait, no! I need to practice more
    so I can play in front of—
[14:28] Konomi
    Oh, someone's still here?
[14:30] Konomi
    You're... the new member,
    Shinoda Akane-chan, right?
[14:34] Akane
    Uh, yes...
[14:35] Konomi
    I'm about to lock up the music room.
[14:37] Akane
    Oh, okay.
[14:38] Konomi
    You were practicing on your
    own? That's impressive.
[14:41] Konomi
    If you're having trouble with anything,
    feel free to ask for help, okay?
[14:48] Akane
    Then, um...
[14:53] Akane
    Since you offered...
[15:00] Konomi
    I see. You're anxious around strangers,
[15:02] Konomi
    so you get nervous in front of
    people and can't play well,
[15:06] Konomi
    and you want to work on that?
[15:08] Akane
    Yeah...
[15:09] Konomi
    Hmm... Yes, I see.
[15:12] Konomi
    Then why don't you come practice at my house?
[15:15] Akane
    Huh?
[15:16] Konomi
    The best way to get comfortable with
    strangers is to practice with someone, right?
[15:19] Konomi
    Are you free this weekend?
[15:22] Akane
    Uh, y-yes...
[15:24] Konomi
    Okay, then, get off at the station
    near my house this weekend.
[15:27] Konomi
    I'll get someone to show
    you the way from there.
[15:29] Akane
    Huh? Show me the way?
    You're not coming yourself?
[15:32] Konomi
    It'll be more practice to get over
    your anxiety with strangers.
[15:35] Konomi
    So make friends with them when
    they bring you to my house, okay?
[15:38] Akane
    With a stranger?
[15:40] Akane
    But I guess it is a good
    opportunity. I should go for it.

[16:05] Renge
    Nice to meet you. My name's Renge.
[16:08] Renge
    Konomi-nee told me to take you to her house.
[16:12] Renge
    She said she'll help me practice
    with my recorder after I do.
[16:17] Renge
    So what's your name, anyway?
[16:20] Akane
    U-Uh... It's Akane.
[16:23] Renge
    Okay, got it. You're Aka-chan.
[16:26] Akane
    Aka-chan... means "baby"...
[16:27] Renge
    Okay, I'll show you the way now.
[16:30] Akane
    Uh, I'd prefer it if you called me Akane...
[16:34] Renge
    Are you Konomi-nee's friend, Akane-chan?
[16:38] Akane
    I-It's more like I'm her
    underclassman at school...
[16:41] Renge
    Oh, okay.
[16:46] Akane
    I don't even know what to
    talk to a little kid about...
[16:50] Akane
    This defeats the purpose of
    coming all the way... No, no!
[16:53] Akane
    I can't be like this! I have
    to try harder to talk to her!
[16:56] Renge
    Hey!
[16:58] Akane
    Wh-What's the matter?
[17:00] Renge
    I found my lifelong enemy over here!
[17:05] Renge
    Cockleburs! They always
    get stuck to my clothes!
[17:08] Renge
    You won't have your way today!
[17:11] Renge
    Prepare yourself!
[17:13] Renge
    Smack!
[17:18] Renge
    You can have this.
[17:19] Akane
    Huh? Oh, uh, thanks...
[17:23] Akane
    What am I supposed to do with this?
[17:29] Akane
    Wh-What is it? Did you find something else?
[17:32] Renge
    A frog!
[17:34] Akane
    A frog? Oh, yeah, frogs are cute, huh?
[17:43] Renge
    Want this toad?
[17:45] Akane
    N-No, I don't! Put it on the ground!
[17:49] Renge
    Okay, I'll put it down like this and
    pretend it can walk on two feet.
[17:53] Akane
    No, don't make it walk! Let it go!
[17:56] Renge
    His name is Fatty!
SIGN    Cattle Crossing
[17:59] Akane
    It doesn't need a name!
[18:00] Akane
    Whoa, whoa! Don't walk
    it this way! Stop! Stop!
[18:05] Konomi
    So Renge-chan chased you
    around with a frog, huh?
[18:09] Akane
    Yeah...
[18:10] Konomi
    Sounds like a crazy time.
[18:13] Konomi
    She's just a kid, though.
    You should cut her some slack.
[18:19] Renge
    I washed my hands.
[18:21] Konomi
    Here's the recorder you left with me.
[18:24] Renge
    Thanks.
[18:30] Renge
    That's not the same as my recorder!
[18:32] Renge
    What's it sound like? Play it for me!
[18:35] Akane
    Uh, o-okay...
[18:49] Renge
    Wow! It made a sound!
[18:51] Renge
    And it has so many buttons!
    It's so cool! Like an octopus tentacle!
[18:55] Akane
    Couldn't you think of anything
    else to compare it to?
[18:59] Renge
    That octorecorder sure is cool, though.
[19:02] Renge
    I wanna play the octorecorder!
[19:03] Akane
    It's a flute, not an octorecorder.
[19:06] Renge
    Huh?
[19:07] Konomi
    You said you were anxious around strangers,
    but you're talking with Renge-chan just fine.
[19:11] Akane
    Y-You think so?
[19:13] Konomi
    Maybe having her chase you around with
    a frog actually loosened up your nerves.
[19:18] Renge
    I'm gonna practice the "do" sound.
[19:24] Akane
    Oh, Renge-chan, to play "do,"
[19:26] Akane
    cover the hole with the pad of your finger.
[19:30] Akane
    And try blowing with a little less force.
[19:41] Konomi
    There you go! You got it!
[19:43] Akane
    That sounds perfect.
[19:44] Konomi
    Why don't we all play something together?
[19:47] Renge
    Let's play the "Frog Song!"
[19:49] Renge
    Is that okay?
[19:51] Akane
    Sure. I know that one.
[19:54] Konomi
    Okay.
[19:56] Renge
    Ready... go!
[20:30] Akane
    Thank you for all your help today.
[20:32] Konomi
    Come by again sometime.
[20:33] Akane
    Sure.
[20:35] Akane
    U-Um...
[20:44] Akane
    Could you... practice with me again sometime?
[20:49] Konomi
    Of course!
[20:50] Renge
    I wanna practice with you, too!
[20:55] Renge
    Promise, okay?
