[00:24] Yumiko
    Was I... really okay in that last scene?
[00:27] Hoshizora
    Yeah, I think it was good.
[00:30] Fujimoto
    You got a pass, so it must have been fine.
[00:33] Yumiko
    Right...

    I knew you could do it.
[03:40] Mekuru
    Yasumi-chan,
[03:42] Mekuru
    please don't bully our audience
    into cheering for you.
[03:46] Mekuru
    Anyway, let me explain what
    today's event is all about.
[03:50] Mekuru
    Our three shows will be going
    head-to-head in the form of various games.
[03:55] Mekuru
    We'll be earning points for each one,
[03:58] Mekuru
    and our final scores will
    determine our rankings.
[04:01] Mekuru
    The show with the most points will get...
[04:05] Mekuru
    a luxurious prize!
[04:08] Mekuru
    And that prize is...
[04:09] Sign
    100,000 yen gift certificate for the high-class yakiniku restaurant, Jujuen!
[04:10] Sign
    a 100,000 yen Jujuen gift certificate!
[04:18] (Flashback) Yumiko
    Mekuru-chan!
[04:20] (Flashback) Yumiko
    Just who I wanted to see!
[04:22] (Flashback) Mekuru
    Stop it, stop it!
[04:23] (Flashback) Mekuru
    Don't act friendly with me!
[04:25] (Flashback) Mekuru
    Don't get close to me!
[04:26] (Flashback) Yumiko
    What's gotten into you, Mekuru-chan?
[04:28] (Flashback) Yumiko
    You're being so cold.
[04:30] (Flashback) Yumiko
    You don't have to hate me that much.
[04:32] (Flashback) Mekuru
    Shut up!
[04:32] (Flashback) Mekuru
    And don't call me "Mekuru-chan"!
[04:34] (Flashback) Mekuru
    I do not like you!
[04:37] (Flashback) Mekuru
    I haven't forgiven you or Yugure,
[04:39] (Flashback) Mekuru
    and I'm still mad.
[04:41] (Flashback) Yumiko
    Huh?
[04:42] (Flashback) Yumiko
    Even though you came to save us the day
[04:46] (Flashback) Yumiko
    we put our careers on the line?
[04:49] (Flashback) Mekuru
    That was...
[04:51] (Flashback) Mekuru
    We don't need to talk about that!
[04:53] (Flashback) Mekuru
    Forget it.
[04:54] (Flashback) Mekuru
    Just drop it!
[04:55] (Flashback) Yumiko
    Oh, you!
[04:57] (Flashback) Yumiko
    You must really love me big-time.
[05:03] (Flashback) Mekuru
    Not so loud!
[05:05] (Flashback) Mekuru
    Just stay away from me going forward!
[05:07] (Flashback) Yumiko
    Why do you have to act like this?
[05:10] (Flashback) Yumiko
    I want to thank you for what you did for us.
[05:12] (Flashback) Yumiko
    We should go grab a bite sometime.
[05:14] (Flashback) Mekuru
    What are you, a pickup artist?
[05:16] (Flashback) Mekuru
    Like I said before,
[05:18] (Flashback) Mekuru
    I have no intention of making friends
    with other voice actresses.
[05:22] (Flashback) Chika
    What's going on here?
[05:25] (Flashback) Yumiko
    What do you think?
[05:28] (Flashback) Yumiko
    You're right.
[05:30] (Flashback) Yumiko
    We shouldn't be getting buddy-buddy.
[05:32] (Flashback) Yumiko
    Because today, we are competing as enemies.
[05:35] (Flashback) Yumiko
    Right, Watanabe?
[05:36] (Flashback) Chika
    That's right.
[05:37] (Flashback) Chika
    Yasu and I are aiming to win this thing,
[05:41] (Flashback) Chika
    so we'll be going all-out, no holds barred.
[05:43] (Flashback) Mekuru
    What?
[05:44] (Flashback) Mekuru
    What are you all fired up for?
[05:46] (Flashback) Yumiko
    Have you heard what the prize is?
[05:50] (Flashback) Mekuru
    Yeah, I have.
[05:53] (Flashback) Chika
    Well, we want it.
[05:55] (Flashback) Chika
    This goes against every fiber of my being,
[05:57] (Flashback) Chika
    but just this once,
     I will cooperate with Yasu.
[06:01] (Flashback) Mekuru
    Oh?
[06:02] (Flashback) Mekuru
    Initially, I didn't really care how this went
    down so long as the event goes well,
[06:07] (Flashback) Mekuru
    but seeing you two so invested in it
    makes me want to stop you from winning.
[06:14] (Flashback) Otome
    Good morning!
[06:15] (Flashback) Otome
    Looking forward to today!
[06:17] (Flashback) Mekuru
    I am too, Sakuranamiki-san!
[06:21] Otome
    Oh, Jujuen is amazing!
[06:25] Yasumi
    I really want that.
[06:27] Yasumi
    It will be ours!
[06:28] Chika
    It shall.
[06:30] Chika
    We're going to get it.
[06:31] Mekuru
    Erm...
[06:33] Mekuru
    Looks like High School Radio is all fired up.
[06:38] Mekuru
    Well then, let's get this show on the road!
[06:40] Sign
    "Lub-dub! Operation Confess Your Feelings"
[06:41] Mekuru
    Our first challenge is...
[06:42] Mekuru
    "Lub-dub! Operation Confess Your Feelings!"
[06:50] Otome
    U-Um...
[06:52] Otome
    I'm n-not very good at things like this.
[06:56] Otome
    Please don't expect much from me...
[06:59] Mekuru
    Take it away!
[07:00] Otome
    "Th-This is the first time I've
    f-fallen for someone this hard...
[07:09] Otome
    I l-love you!
[07:11] Otome
    Please, I want to be your girlfriend!"
[07:16] Otome
    I... I'm so embarrassed!
[07:18] Otome
    I'm sorry! I really can't do this!
[07:21] Otome
    O-Oh, jeez! Oh, gosh!
[07:24] Mekuru
    Now, I need everyone who thought
    that was a good confession
[07:27] Mekuru
    to give a big round of applause!
[07:34] Mekuru
    "Senpai, how do you see me?
[07:38] Yasumi
    Onee-chan, we can't do this one together,
[07:40] Mekuru
    Me? Well, I...
    What do you think? I love you."
[07:42] Yasumi
    so could you handle it?
[07:44] Chika
    I don't mind, but why?
[07:46] Yasumi
    Mekuru and I have the same style,
[07:50] Yasumi
    so instead of settling for a so-so score,
[07:53] Yasumi
    I think we stand a better chance
    of hitting it big with you.
[08:01] Chika
    "But you... hea... am... see,
[08:08] Chika
    please... me."
[08:14] Yasumi
    Hold up. We barely heard anything!
[08:18] Chika
    Because I had no idea it
    would be this embarrassing!
[08:20] Chika
    I can't believe you pushed me
    into something so cringey!
[08:24] Yasumi
    Oh, my god. You're literally
    getting zero applause.
[08:27] Chika
    Zip it already!
[08:29] Chika
    Why didn't you just do it yourself?
[08:31] Yasumi
    If I'd known you'd fail so hard,
     I would have.
[08:34] Yasumi
    I thought it was great, though.
[08:36] Chika
    There it is.
[08:37] Chika
    I really hate that side of you!
[08:39] Mekuru
    All right, you two.
[08:41] Mekuru
    We're moving on!
[08:43] Mekuru
    Wait a sec.
[08:44] Mekuru
    High School Radio, you wanted
    to win this thing, right?
[08:47] Mekuru
    Are you guys okay?
[08:49] Sign
    Who's the master artist?!

[09:45] Mekuru
    All right, it looks like we've
     reached the end!
[09:48] Mekuru
    Which of us will take home the prize?!
[09:57] Sign
    Winner
[09:57] Sign
    Sakuranamiki Otome!
[09:58] Sign
    Winner
[09:58] Sign
    Sakuranamiki Otome!
[10:05] Mekuru
    Looks like none of us did well.
[10:07] Mekuru
    Still, why did you want the restaurant
    gift certificate so much?
[10:14] Yasumi
    We wanted to use it for you, as a thank-you.
[10:17] Yasumi
    You've done so much for us.
[10:18] Yasumi
    We tried to come up with something
    that would make you happy.
[10:23] Yasumi
    Then we thought about maybe going
    out to eat with Otome-neesan.
[10:26] Chika
    You're a fan of hers, right?
[10:29] Chika
    Getting to dine with her would be
    a pretty unforgettable occasion.
[10:34] Yasumi
    We knew you'd never go
    if we just invited you ourselves.
[10:37] Yasumi
    So we figured if we announced here
[10:39] Yasumi
    that we'd be using the prize
    for a wrap party with all four of us,
[10:42] Yasumi
    you'd have no choice.
[10:44] Yasumi
    Then we could put a bow on the whole thing
    when you reported on your show about it.
[10:49] Mekuru
    In that case, I'm glad
     I stopped you from winning.
[10:52] Mekuru
    I would have hated being
    strong-armed into such a farce.
[10:56] Mekuru
    Either way, this outcome was for the best.
[10:58] Mekuru
    The crowd is happiest when
    Saku-chan gets to shine,
[11:02] Mekuru
    and I managed to dodge your
    little plot, so I'm happy.
[11:05] Mekuru
    And since you guys don't have to worry about thanking me, everyone's happy!
[11:10] Otome
    Hey, everyone!
[11:11] Otome
    Let's take a picture for social media.
[11:14] Mekuru
    Sure thing, Sakuranamiki-san!
[11:18] Yasumi
    Great idea.
[11:19] Yasumi
    Let's do it.
[11:23] Otome
    I'll upload this one, then.
[11:31] Sign
    I'll be using the gift certificate for a wrap party with all four of us!
    #otonumathreeshowjointevent
[11:34] Otome
    Let's all go together.
[11:35] Yasumi
    Yay!
[11:36] Yasumi
    Nee-san, you're the best!
[11:38] Yasumi
    I love you!

    Jujuen
[11:50] Mekuru
    I have a reservation under Fujii.
[11:52] Staff
    We've been expecting you.
[11:54] Staff
    This way, please.
[11:56] Yumiko
    I didn't know your real name was Fujii.
[11:59] Yumiko
    That's pretty normal.
[12:01] Mekuru
    Shut up.
[12:03] Mekuru
    I mean, your name is Sato.
[12:05] Yumiko
    So, what's your given name?
[12:08] Mekuru
    Like I'd ever tell you.
[12:11] Yumiko
    Wow. Overdress just a little?
[12:14] Mekuru
    I mean, Saku-chan's coming.
[12:16] Mekuru
    If I'm going to see her,
    I want to look my absolute best.
[12:20] Yumiko
    You realize this isn't a press event, right?
[12:23] Yumiko
    We're here to eat yakiniku.
[12:25] Mekuru
    Says the girl who also looks
    like she's dressed for an event.
[12:29] Yumiko
    No, I just came here straight
    from a shoot at the office.
[12:35] Yumiko
    Anyway, let's figure out the seating.
[12:37] Yumiko
    Where do you want to sit?
[12:39] Mekuru
    Good question.
[12:40] Mekuru
    Across from her, so I can see her face?
[12:43] Mekuru
    Or next to her, so we're physically close?
[12:47] Mekuru
    Which is the right answer?
[12:49] Yumiko
    Good question...
[12:55] Chika
    What's going on here?
[13:06] Yumiko
    Mekuru-chan, why don't
    you try to relax a bit?
[13:09] Mekuru
    Nobody wouldn't be nervous before we start!
[13:12] Yumiko
    Before we start?
[13:15] Yumiko
    You sound like a guest at a live show.
[13:18] Chika
    Yubisaki-san, thank you
    for coming that one time.
[13:24] Mekuru
    Whatever. It's not like I did anything
    you need to thank me for.
[13:29] Mekuru
    I mean, that wasn't Yubisaki Mekuru's
    doing, anyway.
[13:32] Yumiko
    So it was Fujii-san's doing?
[13:35] Mekuru
    Right.
[13:36] Mekuru
    I've got a lot of mixed feelings,
[13:39] Mekuru
    but I still want you to continue.
[13:41] Mekuru
    I don't want you to quit.
[13:43] Mekuru
    But as the voice actress Yubisaki Mekuru,
    I still can't forgive you for what you did.
[13:50] Mekuru
    Don't forget that.
[13:51] Mekuru
    Also, I only came today because it's work.
[13:54] Mekuru
    You won't catch me doing it again.
[13:56] Otome
    I'm sorry.
[13:58] Otome
    I'm late.
[13:59] Mekuru
    Thanks for coming!
[14:01] Yumiko(m)
    It's scary how quickly she changes.
[14:04] Otome
    Guess I'm sitting next to Mekuru-chan.
[14:07] Yumiko(m)
    And... she's frozen.
[14:10] All
    Cheers!
[14:17] Otome
    Nothing beats a drink after work.
[14:20] Yumiko
    This apple juice is good, too!
[14:22] Chika
    Yes.
[14:23] Yumiko
    All right, let's get grilling.
[14:27] Yumiko
    I'll start with salted beef tongue.
[14:28] Otome
    Then I'll serve the salad.
[14:31] Mekuru
    Oh, you shouldn't have to do that!
[14:33] Mekuru
    Please, allow me.
[14:35] Otome
    Come on, no need for formality.
[14:37] Otome
    We're coworkers, after all.
[14:39] Otome
    It's actually been bothering me
    that you're so formal with me.
[14:44] Mekuru
    I've said it before,
[14:47] Mekuru
    but I find it very hard
     not to be with anyone older than me.
[14:50] Chika
    Sato, let me help.
[14:53] Yumiko
    No, you don't need to do anything.
[14:55] Yumiko
    Just sit there quietly.
[14:57] Chika
    What?
[14:58] Chika
    Do you think you're some
    sort of grill magistrate?
[15:01] Chika
    We can both do it.
[15:03] Yumiko
    Since it's you,
[15:05] Yumiko
    you'd probably use the same chopsticks
    for grabbing the raw meat and for eating.
[15:10] Chika
    What's wrong with that?
[15:13] Yumiko
    You moron.
[15:15] Chika
    Excuse me, what are you talking about?
[15:18] Chika
    Is that some kind of rule or something?!
[15:19] Chika
    An unspoken agreement?
[15:21] Chika
    You always try to assert
    your superiority like this!
[15:24] Otome
    Yuhi-chan,
[15:25] Otome
    Yasumi-chan is really good at grilling meat,
[15:28] Otome
    so it might be best to just let her do it.
[15:30] Chika
    All right, then.
[15:33] Yasumi(m)
    She looks like she wants
    to take that home and enshrine it as
[15:36] Yasumi(m)
    "the salad Sakuranamiki Otome served me."
[15:40] Yumiko
    Those look done.
[15:41] Yumiko
    Go ahead and take them.
[15:43] All
    Let's eat!
[15:47] Otome
    That's so good!
[15:48] Mekuru
    It is!
[15:51] Yasumi
    Okay! I'm going to keep grilling!
[15:57] Yumiko(m)
    I'd like to take my mom
    to a place like this sometime.
[16:02] Yumiko(m)
    There was something I wanted to discuss
    with Nee-san and Mekuru-chan,
[16:05] Yumiko(m)
    but I don't think it'll happen today.
[16:09] Yumiko
    Mekuru-chan?!
[16:10] Mekuru
    Oh, Utatane.
[16:13] Yasumi
    Are you all right?
[16:14] Yasumi
    Did you drink too much?
[16:15] Yasumi
    Do you feel ill?
[16:16] Mekuru
    I'm fine!
[16:17] Mekuru
    If anything, I can't get drunk.
[16:19] Yasumi
    What?
[16:20] Mekuru
    Saku-chan is close!
[16:22] Mekuru
    She's so close to me!
[16:24] Mekuru
    How can she be so adorable?!
[16:27] Mekuru
    My all-out love is growing!
[16:30] Mekuru
    Please don't let me get even more obsessed!
[16:33] Yasumi
    Hang on.
[16:35] Yasumi
    Can you please stop gushing to me?
[16:37] Mekuru
    I'm so happy it hurts.
[16:40] Mekuru
    I could just die today...
[16:42] Mekuru
    I'd do anything to have this beautiful
    dream just continue for eternity!
[16:46] Yasumi
    It's that good?
[16:48] Mekuru
    Ow!
[16:49] Yumiko
    A-Are you okay?
[16:51] Mekuru
    Oh, no.
[16:52] Mekuru
    I guess I am drunk.
[16:54] Mekuru
    Just stay away from me.
[16:56] Mekuru
    If I start getting conscious of you as well,
[16:58] Mekuru
    I'm really going to lose it.
[17:02] Yasumi(m)
    Too late for that.
[17:05] Mekuru
    I'll go back now.
[17:09] Yasumi
    Pretty amazing that she can keep
    all that in in front of Nee-san.
[17:14] Chika
    I'm sorry, but I have work in the morning,
[17:18] Chika
    so I should go now.
[17:19] Chika
    Thank you so much for the food,
     Sakuranamiki-san.
[17:22] Chika
    The meat was truly delicious.
[17:24] Otome
    Thanks for coming!
[17:26] Otome
    I'm really glad we got
    to have dinner together.
[17:29] Mekuru
    See ya.
[17:30] Chika
    I'll be off, then.
[17:35] Otome
    Should we order some dessert?
[17:38] Yasumi
    Hey, could I talk to the two of you
     about something?
[17:42] Yasumi
    What do you do when you
    feel blocked, acting-wise?
[17:47] Mekuru
    Is this about Phantom?
[17:50] Yasumi
    It's a really tough project.
[17:52] Yasumi
    I mean, I've improved a ton
    since we started.
[17:55] Yasumi
    I've even been getting some praise
    from the staff and other actors.
[17:58] Yasumi
    But it still feels like I'm
    just barely good enough.
[18:02] Yasumi
    I haven't yet hit the level they want.
[18:05] Yasumi
    The sound director told me outright
[18:07] Yasumi
    that I need to kick it up a notch.
[18:10] Yasumi
    But the wall is so high...
[18:13] Yasumi
    I'm trying to figure out what I have to do
    to get over it and nail my acting.
[18:18] Yasumi
    I feel like I'm already
    doing everything I can.
[18:21] Yasumi
    I'm practicing and studying,
[18:24] Yasumi
    and that's not all...
[18:27] Yasumi
    Ah, I'm sorry.
[18:29] Yasumi
    Um, I was just wondering if the
    two of you had any advice.
[18:35] Otome
    Well, to start...
[18:37] Otome
    O-Oh, wait.
[18:38] Otome
    That probably isn't it.
[18:40] Yasumi
    I don't mind!
[18:42] Yasumi
    If you have any ideas, I'd like to hear them.
[18:45] Otome
    Well, if you insist, I'll tell you.
[18:48] Otome
    I don't think you were prepared enough.
[18:51] Yasumi
    Prepared enough?
[18:53] Yasumi
    Well, I guess there wasn't much time
    between the audition and the recording.
[18:58] Otome
    That's not what I mean.
[18:59] Otome
    I'm talking about knowing what to expect.
[19:01] Otome
    We never know what kind of
    jobs we might be called to do.
[19:05] Otome
    But it behooves you to know
[19:07] Otome
    the typical ways those jobs might play out.
[19:10] Otome
    That was a blind spot for you.
[19:13] Mekuru
    As for me, I'm envious you have
    that kind of problem.
[19:16] Mekuru
    I hardly ever get major character roles.
[19:19] Mekuru
    But there's one thing I can say.
[19:23] Mekuru
    You did your best acting in Plastic Girls.
[19:27] Yasumi
    Really?
[19:28] Yasumi
    Even though I sucked since it was my debut?
[19:31] Mekuru
    I still think that was your best work.
[19:34] Mekuru
    Something about it resonated with me.
[19:37] Mekuru
    Anyway, isn't Yugure there with you?
[19:41] Mekuru
    Have you asked her opinion?
[19:43] Mekuru
    I feel like that would
    be the best thing to do.
[19:46] Mekuru
    I checked the cast,
[19:47] Mekuru
    and you two are probably the closest, no?
[19:50] Mekuru
    You have a similar amount of experience,
    and you're the same age.
[19:53] Mekuru
    You've worked together and have a radio show.
[19:55] Mekuru
    If you ask someone like her
    how she sees your acting
[19:59] Mekuru
    or what it's missing,
[20:01] Mekuru
    just like you asked us,
[20:03] Mekuru
    I'm sure she'll tell you
     how she feels in the studio.
[20:05] Mekuru
    I bet it would be really helpful.
[20:10] Otome
    I'm just guessing,
[20:11] Otome
    but for Yasumi-chan,
    I think she sees Yuhi-chan as, hmm...
[20:16] Otome
    someone she doesn't want
    to lose to, like a rival.
[20:20] Otome
    Asking your competition for advice
    must be really hard.
[20:26] Mekuru
    Is that so?
[20:28] Otome
    It really is.
[20:30] Yasumi
    No, it's not like that!
[20:33] Yasumi
    I guess I just don't really like
    the idea of her giving me notes.
[20:37] Yasumi
    I don't know what you mean about
    not wanting to lose to my rival...
[20:41] Yasumi
    Mekuru-chan, do you have anyone like that?
[20:44] Yasumi
    Someone you desperately want to beat?
[20:47] Mekuru
    I guess this is one of my bad traits,
[20:50] Mekuru
    but I've never felt that way
    about anyone so far.
[20:52] Mekuru
    I just can't bring myself to think that
    I deserve a role more than anyone else.
[20:57] Mekuru
    Sakuranamiki-san,
     do you feel that way about anyone?
[21:00] Mekuru
    I'd love to hear if you do.
[21:02] Otome
    I did.
[21:04] Otome
    Around the time I debuted,
    things were really heated.
[21:06] Otome
    Even though I knew going to her
    would have helped me,
[21:09] Otome
    even though she was better than me...
[21:11] Otome
    Actually, maybe that was exactly the reason.
[21:15] Otome
    I couldn't bring myself to do it.
[21:16] Mekuru
    May I ask who she was?
[21:20] Otome
    It's a secret.
[21:21] Otome
    Having someone on your mind is important.
[21:24] Otome
    I know plenty well that being determined
    not to lose can become a strength.
[21:28] Otome
    But I understand what you're
    saying, too, Mekuru-chan.
[21:32] Otome
    Being focused on someone else means
     you're paying close attention to each other.
[21:37] Otome
    They might understand you better than anyone.
[21:39] Otome
    Even though I couldn't bring myself
    to do it, Yasumi-chan,
[21:43] Otome
    maybe you should think about it when
    you really feel like there's no way out.
[21:48] Yasumi
    Good work, everyone.
[21:50] Sugishita
    Ah, Utatane-san.
[21:52] Yasumi
    Yes?
[21:53] Sugishita
    This will be a very important
    episode for Phantom.
[21:57] Sugishita
    I have faith that you'll put
    all your soul into your acting.
