1: Pudding Unlike This

Kanami: Mai-chan, we're here~! Today's special guest is... Mihono-chan!
Mihono: Umm. Hi, Yanase-san. Sorry if I'm being a bother.
Mihono: I ran into Kanami before, and she said I should tag along, so...
Mai: Don't worry, it's fine. Sorry I invited you here so abruptly, Asakura-san, Kanami-chan.
Mihono: Ah, something smells really good!
Kanami: Mai-chan, you made that, didn't you! The stuff that's all sticky and smooth~.
Mai: That's right. I can't believe you figured it out already, Kanami-chan. I made pudding, but actually...
Mai: Ah, you should try some first! I just hope it turned out alright.
Kanami: Everything you make turns out great, Mai-chan!
Mai: ...R-Right.
Mihono: ...Yanase-san? What's wrong? You look upset about something.
Mai: Sorry, it's nothing! Here, come on inside!

Mihono: Whoa, it looks delicious. You sure I can eat this!?
Mai: Of course. If you're sure you want some, go right ahead.
Kanami: No one in the world wouldn't want your cooking, Mai-chan! Anyway, I'm digging in-!
Mihono: Me too! Down the hatch-!
Kanami: Mhmmm, ahh...
Mihono: It's... It's too yummy!
Mai: Thank goodness. But, um... Was there anything else that you noticed about it?
Kanami: It's just really tasty.
Mihono: Yeah, it's so tasty!
Mai: Th-Thank you. But, let's see, for example, if it tastes like anything you've tried before...
Mai: Like, maybe, a certain shop's pudding...
Kanami: Anything I've tried? Umm... Mihono-chan, what do you think?
Mihono: I don't really... Go out shopping much, so I don't know. But, Yanase-san, I feel like your pudding's better than anything I could buy?
Kanami: Yeah, I feel the same! I've never had anything like it. Mai-chan, your pudding's amazing!
Mai: ...A-Ahaha, thank you.
Kanami: Mai-chan? Something's bothering you, isn't it?
Mai: It's not a big deal... This was just a bit of a failure.
Mihono: Eh, how!?
Mai: To tell the truth, I was trying to copy the pudding from a shop I love.
Kanami: A shop Mai-chan loves... "Plumeria"?
Kanami: Ahh... Mmm? Now that you mention it, it tastes sort of alike, I think?
Mihono: (Ughh, I can't believe I said I don't go out much...)
Mai: No, don't worry about it, Kanami-chan... After all, it'd be strange if I could copy a famous chef's pudding so easily.
Mai: My little sisters, they told me they wanted to be able get the same taste at home. So I kept on practicing time and time again, and kept going to eat the real thing to compare, and I used all the same materials, just as fresh...!
Mihono: Yanase... San?
Mai: I tried heating with different intensity, and steaming it differently, and lots of different containers. But why, even though I keep on trying... No, I just can't get it to taste any good.
Mai: I love cooking sweets so much, but in the end I'm just an amateur...
Kanami: You're frustrated, huh, Mai-chan.
Mai: Eh, you can tell...?
Mihono: It's kind of hard not to notice, I think?
Mai: Oh no, I'm sorry. I just got carried away.
Kanami: It's alright. I almost never get to see you like this, after all.
Mai: Eh?
Kanami: You're usually so calm and composed, and it feels like you can do anything. But seeing you act like this is pretty cute too. Right, Mihono-chan?
Mihono: Yeah, I feel like my image of Yanase-san changed a little!
Mai: Eh... Really...?
Kanami: Hey, do you want to try this again, Mai-chan? I'll sample it as much as you want. You'll join in too, right, Mihono-chan?
Mihono: Yeah, if you'll let me, I'll try some anytime. Today's was good too! I mean it; it was really yummy!
Mai: Asakura-san, Kanami-chan...
Mai: Thank you. I'm so glad I had you two taste it.
Mai: I'm a little depressed, but I'll keep on trying... I'll challenge it again, I promise!
Kanami: Yeah! I'm looking forward to it. But if you mess up, that's okay. It just means we get to eat even more!
Mihono: I think I'd be happy with that too?
Mai: Geez, cut it out, you two. Next time I'll get it right for sure! ...Fufu.



2: What is Femininity?

Mai: What should I do with these? I made too many cookies. Kanami-chan would be able to eat them all, but... She isn't back yet.
Kiyoka: Thank goodness, I got this month's edition. I have to get back to my room and read the latest report-
Mai: Eh!?
Kiyoka: Kyaa!
*the two collide*
Mai: Oww... S-Sorry. I was lost in thought.
Kiyoka: No, I wasn't looking where I was going...! I'm so sorry!!
Mai: Um, you're Musumi-san, right? Are you hurt? This magazine... It's yours, isn't it? Here.
Kiyoka: Thank you so much! And I really am sorry. You're... Yanase-san, aren't you?
Mai: Yes. From Minoseki.
Kiyoka: Ahhhh!! Yanase-san, when I bumped into you just now, did those...!?
Mai: Oh my. The cookies... They got crushed, didn't they? But please, don't worry about it.
Kiyoka: I'm so sorry, were they a present from someone? I'll buy you replacements.
Mai: Oh, these are just something I made myself. Really, it's not worth fussing over.
Kiyoka: Eh!? You mean those are handmade!? They look so cute...
Mai: They might be a little broken, but would you like to try them?
Kiyoka: Can I!?

Kiyoka: These are delicious...! Can you share the recipe with me, Yanase-san?
Mai: Recipe? ...I don't really use them. I just go with what feels right when I'm cooking.
Mai: More importantly, Musumi-san, there's crumbs getting on your magazine...! Here, lay this handkerchief on top of it.
Mai: Ah, that's right. Take a tissue as well, so you can wipe your hands.
Kiyoka: ...You're so feminine, Yanase-san.
Mai: Eh?
Kiyoka: I'm jealous...! I could never be so considerate, and cooking without a recipe would just be impossible for me...
Mai: It's not like that. Baking things is just my hobby. When I'm cooking, I can really lose myself in it, and when I'm done, I like seeing others enjoy it.
Mai: What about you, Musumi-san? What do you do in your spare time?
Kiyoka: Eh, me...? Reading, is about all I do.
Mai: Reading? What kind of books do you read?
Kiyoka: L-Love stories, mostly. And, I read magazines... Like this one.
Mai: Is that so. Let me see... "The Number 1 Must Buys This Season, Introducing Kamo Chinami's Mix and Match Technique"...
Kiyoka: This report is always so handy. If you pick out whatever appears in here, it can make any outfit look cuter.
Kiyoka: It's a big help in picking out accessories, for example, or, i-if I ever go on a date, what to wear...
Mai: R-Really? Musumi-san, you seem so... Mature.
Kiyoka: Eh....? Yanase-san, are you not interested in this kind of thing?
Mai: I-I never really thought about it much.
Kiyoka: I don't know that much about it myself. I just think, whenever I'm going out, that I should be a little fashionable. If someone ever thinks I'm cute, well...
Kiyoka: That'd be wonderful.
Mai: Somehow, I feel like... You're already pretty wonderful, Musumi-san. Talking to you like this, it's like you're sparkling.
Mai: It's normal for girls to be interested in wearing cute clothes, isn't it? But I'm clueless when it comes to this...
Kiyoka: In that case, Yanase-san! I'll lend you this magazine!
Mai: Eh?
Kiyoka: If you read it, I'm sure you'll feel much better about fashion. Think of it as a thank you for these cute cookies.
Kiyoka: I really wish I could make you cookies like these as thanks, but it seems too difficult for me...
Mai: Musumi-san... Thank you. But, isn't this this month's issue? You can give it to me after you're through reading it.
Mai: Oh, before then... If you're interested, how about we bake cookies together next time?
Mai: It doesn't have to be cookies either. We can make all sorts of cute sweets that'll get you all worked up.
Kiyoka: Eh!? You don't mind me joining you?
Mai: Of course not. When it comes to making sweets, I have some experience. And, next time...
Mai: I'd like it if you shared with me some of your magazines.
Kiyoka: That sounds great! I'll bring all kinds with me!
Mai: Fufu. Then, until next time. It's a promise.



3: As a Toji

Chie: Mihono-chan, Kiyoka-chan! It seems like... We managed to deal with all the aradama.
Chie: It's all thanks to the help of our reinforcement. I'm Setouchi Chie. And you are...?
Mai: Yanase Mai, from Minoseki. I'm a classmate of Asakura-san... Of Mihono-chan.
Mihono: You saved us-! Thanks, Mai. That's Minoseki's tournament rep for you; you were awesome back there!
Mihono: Ahhh, oh yeah! Musumi-san, are you okay?
Kiyoka: Yes... Um, sorry, I'm just... I'm not very good at fighting...
Kiyoka: Kya! Another aradama!
Chie: Still...!? Yanase-san, our teammates should be returning any minute, so could you help us a little longer?
Mai: Of course!

Chie: Minoseki's representative... I can see why. Even against those aradama, your posture never faltered, and your swordsmanship stayed clean.
Mihono: See? I told you she's good, Chii-nee.
Mai: Th-Thank you.
Mihono: And, on top of that, she's a super rich girl. She's got a butler and everything!
Kiyoka: A butler... That sounds kind of amazing.
Kiyoka: B-But wait, then why are you a toji? It's a dangerous position. For a high class girl like you...
Mihono: You're right, it's a little weird. But being a toji is a really respectable position, isn't it? Maybe her family wanted her to do it or something.
Mai: ...I decided to become a toji and worked towards it on my own.
Mai: It's dangerous work, but it also keeps everyone safe. So I wanted to try it.
Mai: Luckily, I was capable of using an okatana, and one of them accepted me.
Chie: You sound so responsible. At least, I wouldn't expect that from a middle schooler.
Mihono: Why're you looking at me, Chii-nee.
Kiyoka: But, aren't you scared?
Mai: I do get scared. Though, when I grip my okatana, all those feelings fade away.
Mai: I train with that in mind, and somehow I manage.
Mihono: That's so cool, Mai. It's like you have a totally different kind of strength than Kanami.
Chie: You have to try your best too, Mihono-chan. Starting with your concentration... Right?
Mihono: Ahaha... I need to work on that, huh...



4: Late Night Cookies

Mai: Excuse me...
Mai: Umm... Itomi Sayaka-chan...? I'm Yanase Mai, a second year middle schooler at Minoseki Academy. Could I talk to you for a little while...?
Sayaka: ......
Mai: Uh, well, I heard you fought with the runaway Kanami-chan and Juujou-san...
Sayaka: ...They escaped. Because I lost.
Mai: So Kanami-chan's safe... What a relief.
Mai: ...Ah, s-sorry? I really shouldn't be saying that to you.
Sayaka: ...It's just the truth that I lost.
Mai: But isn't that why you're being confined to this room...?
Sayaka: ...Because I failed my orders, after all.
Mai: ......
Mai: ...Sayaka-chan, there's a cut on your cheek.
Mai: You really shouldn't leave that alone. Is it okay if I put a band-aid on it?
Sayaka: Mm...
Mai: There... That should do it. And, if you'd like, have some of these!
Sayaka: ...?
Mai: I made too many cookies. Do you like sweets, Sayaka-chan?
Sayaka: ...Mm. Ah, um, yes...
Mai: Great. Then, I'd be happy if you had some.
Sayaka: Happy...?
Mai: Anyway, if they find me here, I'll get in trouble, so I'd better go now.
Mai: Thank you for talking to me. I'll see you later.
Sayaka: ...Mm...
Sayaka: ......
Sayaka: ...(crunch crunch).
Sayaka: ...It's good.



5: Are You Fine with That?

Mai: ...Sigh.
Hashima Ema: Yanase-san.
Mai: Ah... President?
Ema: Those two will be alright.
Ema: Though, of course you'd be worried. She's your best friend, after all.
Mai: After what happened, there's been so much on my mind.
Mai: I'm worried about Kanami-chan. At the same time, I'm sure if anyone can get through this, it's Kanami-chan.
Mai: But...
Ema: There's something else bothering you, isn't there?
Mai: I just, don't know what to think anymore. How should I go on as a toji after this?
Mai: I don't have Kanami-chan's pure love for swordfighting. I don't have the drive to get stronger like her.
Mai: This may sound imprudent, but... I don't have the resolve Juujou-san must have had to turn her blade on Origami Yukari-sama either.
Mai: Being a toji means keeping everyone safe, and I came this far because I thought of it as a commendable job.
Mai: But... Is that really enough?
Ema: I don't think there's anything wrong with you advancing through a sense of pride. But you're feeling uncomfortable with that now, aren't you, Yanase-san?
Ema: Hmm, then... In that case, I think you're a little mistaken in what you said.
Mai: In what I said?
Ema: Truthfully, it's not about this being a commendable job, but because you wanted to become a toji who could protect others. And you're wondering if that desire alone is enough. Am I wrong?
Mai: ...!
Ema: There are those with a deep love of swordfighting, and those who hide strong convictions. Comparatively, your desire might not seem like much. Not enough to risk your life over.
Ema: If that's what's bothering you, I think I understand.
Mai: ...You might be right. But, I'm not sure. I can't tell if what I aspired to be was simply because I thought it was praiseworthy.
Mai: Seeing Kanami-chan and Juujou-san, I can't help but think I was being naive...
Mai: I'm wondering, if I should really continue with this...
Ema: Fufu. Don't worry.
Mai: President...?
Ema: I can't say for sure whether you should continue.
Mai: You can't say...?
Ema: That's right. However, don't belittle your desires. That's where all your strength is born from.
Ema: Yanase-san. You don't have to rush. Collect your thoughts, and have faith in yourself. When the time comes, you'll clearly see the path you should follow again.
Ema: With that, I need to leave for the night.
Mai: President...
Mai: ...I understand. I'll try having a little more faith in myself.

[Misogi- Mai: Start]: My First Shock

--After being accepted to Minoseki Academy.

Minoseki Academy Teacher: Alright, this might be your first swordfighting lesson after entering Minoseki Academy, but...
Kanami: I know! I'm really excited for it!
Mai: (That girl, her name was... Etou-san, wasn't it? So she was looking forward to our swordfighting lessons that much...)
Minoseki Academy Teacher: Looks like we've got a lively one with us. To start us off, we'll have you learn what your classmates are capable of.
Minoseki Academy Teacher: You'll be fighting against everyone... But first, pair up with the person next to you!
Kanami: I'll be in your care, Yanase-san!
Mai: S-Sure, likewise.
Mai: (We'll have to fight each of our classmates? Which would mean, I'll have to think about how to conserve my energy...)
Minoseki Academy Teacher: Now then... Begin!
Kanami: ......
Mai: (Wait, she's not attacking?)
Mai: (That's sort of a let-down. With how she was acting, I thought she'd come straight at me as soon as we began...)
Kanami: I'm ready anytime.
Mai: (Her stance is... Seigan. It's so orthodox that there doesn't seem to be any scheme behind it. There's no need for tricks like that in our very first lesson anyway.)
Mai: (In which case... I'll go!)
Mai: YAAAAH!
Kanami: -!
Mai: ...Eh!?
Mai: (She dodged it... And so easily too...)
Kanami: There's hardly any wasted movements... You love swordfighting too, don't you, Yanase-san!
Kanami: Show me more of your swordsmanship!

Minoseki Academy Teacher: That's enough!
Mai: Pant, pant...
Mai: (I wasn't any match for her at all... Etou-san, just who are you...)
Kanami: Yanase-san, you're so strong!
Mai: You too, Etou-san...
Kanami: Just call me Kanami!
Mai: (There's somebody... This amazing here... Etou... Kanami...)
Mai: Kanami-chan...
Kanami: Yeah, Mai-chan!
Mai: -!
Mai: Etou... Kanami-chan...

Friend A: Mai's been together with Kanami all the time lately, hasn't she?
Mai: ...Eh?
Friend B: Ah, I was thinking the same thing. Ever since that swordfighting lesson, right?
Friend A: Well, Kanami was pretty amazing.
Mai: Th-That's only because... See, Kanami-chan may be strong, but, don't you think she's unsafe in some ways? Like, she might prioritize swordfighting over her own well being...
Friend B: You say that, but isn't the truth that you just wound up having a crush on her?
Mai: I do not!! Don't go making assumptions like that!!



[Misogi- Mai: End]: The Name of This Feeling is Admiration

Friend A: Eh, Mai...?
Mai: I-I'm sorry! There's something the teacher asked me to take care of!
Kanami: ...

Mai: ...Sigh.
Mai: (Why did I get so upset when she said that... I'd better... apologize to her, shouldn't I...)
Mai: (But... I don't understand it myself, why I reacted like that... I could tell right away she was only joking...)
Mai: But, Kanami-chan...
Kanami: You called?
Mai: K-Kanami-chan!? Why are you...?
Kanami: Actually... I saw what happened before. And then, I followed you here.
Kanami: If it's alright with you, you can talk it over with me, okay?
Mai: ...Thank you, Kanami-chan.
Kanami: Why'd you get so mad? Can I ask you that?
Mai: That's because...
Mai: (I can't exactly tell her it's because they asked if I liked you, can I...)
Mai: It was my fault. They were only teasing me a little, but I got seriously upset...
Kanami: ...Was it because, they made fun of something important to you?
Mai: Eh?
Kanami: When I think, "If it were me, what would I get mad if someone made fun of?", it's got to be swordfighting of course!
Mai: Fufu, I could see that, Kanami-chan.
Mai: (But then... That means, I got upset because Kanami-chan is important to me?)
Kanami: And also... If somebody made fun of somebody you respect, you'd feel bad too, wouldn't you?
Mai: Someone you respect... Yeah, respect! That's it, Kanami-chan!
Mai: Thank you for letting me talk this over with you!
Kanami: Sure! Wait, huh? Thinking back, I feel like I was the one doing all the talking...
Mai: Still, that's fine! I'm going to go apologize to them!

Mai: I'm sorry!
Friend A: No, we're the ones who should be saying sorry. We were being sort of insensitive.
Friend B: We were. But, I didn't think that you actually did like Kanami... We'll do what we can to support you two, Mai!
Mai: Eh!? Th-That's not it! You misunderstand!
Friend A: ...It's not?
Mai: That's right. Kanami-chan, she's the first opponent I didn't think I could beat in swordfighting, so I respect her a lot.
Mai: But, when you teased me about it... I think that's why I couldn't help but get angry all of a sudden.
Friend A: So that's what it was. It happens, huh.
Mai: We might be the same age, but... Kanami-chan was just so much stronger. That's why... Someday, I'd like to be about as strong as Kanami-chan.
Friend B: She definitely is. We'll have to work real hard ourselves-.
Mai: Mmhm! Let's all work hard enough that we won't lose to Kanami-chan!

[Dress - Mai: Start]: Nene's Madness

Kaoru: Gulp, gulp, gulp... Phwaa! Gimme another glass of grape juice!
Nene: Ne-!
Mai: Kaoru-chan, I think you've had enough grape juice...
Kaoru: Don't stop me! Cause you know, there's a life of taking the overnight bus north to south and back waiting for me ahead!
Kaoru: How'm I supposed to get through that without drinking this!
Nene: Nene!
Mai: Still...
Kaoru: Hey, Mai... Have you ever rode on an overnight bus?
Mai: I haven't...
Kaoru: See? It's a place where you can never get a good sleep, you'll get woken up at every service area, your strength gets worn down hour after hour...
Mai: Kaoru-chan... Are you drunk?
Kaoru: Who gets drunk off grape juice! But I can't make it if I don't drink!
Mai: I-I see.
Kaoru: Ahh... It's good.
Kaoru: This big piece of chicken too, and that roast beef I had before, they used some pretty high grade meat, right?
Nene: Ne-?
Kaoru: Nn? Nene, you want this meat? You can't, it's mine.
Nene: Ne!
Kaoru: I'm the one who got it, so it's my meat!
Nene: Ne-...
Kaoru: Anyway, that dress looks good on you, Mai.
Mai: Thank you, Kaoru-chan. You look good in yours too.
Kaoru: What, this? They didn't have many dresses in my size, y'know-.
Mai: They didn't?
Kaoru: Yeah. They had a whole bunch in the size just above mine though.
Nene: NE--------!
Mai: Kyaa!
Kaoru: Nene stole my meat!?
Nene: Ne!
Kaoru: Stop it, Nene! That's my meat!



[Dress - Mai: End]: Dress Close Call

Kaoru: Hey! Gimme my meat back!
Nene: Ne-?
Mai: K-Kaoru-chan, it's not that important...
Mai: Ah, could you tell me which table you got that from? I'll get some more for you.
Kaoru: That's not gonna work! That was the last of the meat there!
Mai: Oh dear-...
Kaoru: And Nene, he knew that, and he still went after my meat!
Nene: Nene-!
Mai: S-Still, if you want meat, there's plenty of other kinds laid out...
Kaoru: But that's the last of that kind of meat!
Mai: Ah...
Kaoru: Kukuku, I've got you cornered now, Nene...
Kaoru: Okay, time to choose. You gonna give my meat back... Or aren't you? If you give it back now, I'll forgive you...?
Nene: Nenenenenenenene!
Kaoru: Ah-! You jackass, you ate it all in one go!
Nene: Ne?
Mai: I think it's a little late to be playing innocent, Nene...
Kaoru: You're getting it now, Nene!
Nene: Ne-!
Mai: Kyaa!
Kaoru: You dumbass! Don't go jumping at Mai!
Nene: Ne!?
Kaoru: We're safe... That was close. You know better than that; if you'd jumped on her just after eating, you'd get her dress dirty.
Nene: Ne-...
Mai: Thank you... Kaoru-chan. Nene-chan, I'll wipe your mouth for you.
Nene: Ne-!
Kaoru: Can I leave Nene with you? I'm going to go get some meat.
Mai: Sure, that's fine with me.
Kaoru: Then, I'm off... This time, I'd better get some for Nene so he won't steal mine.
Mai: ...So she says. Isn't that good for you, Nene-chan?
Nene: Ne!

[Marching - Mai: Start]: Minoseki's Marching Band

Mai: Excuse me.
Ema: I've been waiting to see you, Yanase-san.
Ema: Actually, we've gotten a request for the Minoseki Academy's toji to perform in a marching band.
Mai: A marching band... Like, one that plays wind instruments?
Ema: Yes, that kind of marching band. And, that's where I'd like you to be the drum major... In other words, you'll be the conductor of the band.
Mai: You want me to do that...?
Ema: Yes. I think it would be a good experience for you. How do you feel about it?
Mai: ......
Mai: (A conductor... Can I really do it? I'm not so sure, but... the president must be suggesting this because she's sure I can.)
Mai: ...Alright then. I'll take on the role of the drum major!

Mai: So now, we'll begin practicing.
Mai: ......
Kanami: (Here I do it like this, and then like this... Okay!)
Mihono: (Here's where I move over here...)
Nagae Futaba: Hey!?
Mihono/Futaba: UWAH!?
Futuba: Why'd you run into me-!?
Mihono: S-Sorry-!
Mai: Are you okay, Mihono-chan, Nagae-san!?
Mihono: I'm fine. And anyway, sorry, Mai. I screwed up again.
Mai: It's alright; we still have time. I'll stick with you, so let's practice lots, okay?
Mihono: Sure!

Mai: That's enough practicing for today. You did great, everyone!
Everyone: Good work-!
Mihono: Ahh, I'm beat! Let's go get something sweet to eat, Mai, Kanami!
Kanami: Yeah, okay.
Mai: Ah, sorry, Mihono-chan. I have something to take care of...
Mihono: Oh... That's too bad.
Kanami: We'll see you tomorrow then, Mai-chan!
Mai: Sure!
Mihono: Wanna come too, Futaba-?
Futaba: I'll pass!
Mai: Everyone's gone, so now I need to do my own practice.
Mai: ......
Mai: (They're all practicing their hardest. I have to try even harder too!)
Mai: --I messed up! I won't make it like this... One more try!

Mihono: Ughh, I messed up a bunch, Kanamiii. I made a lot of trouble for Mai too.
Kanami: But still, you've gotten a lot better, Mihono-chan.
Mihono: You think so!?
Kanami: Yeah!
Mihono: Then, that's good to hear! She's taught how to do a whole lot, so I want to make sure the main performance is a success for sure.
Kanami: Mai-chan's trying so hard for this. I'm sure she's probably practicing right now too.
Mihono: ...Ah, if she's teaching me this stuff, that must mean she practiced it enough to learn it that well herself.
Mihono: ...Sorry, Kanami! I'm going to go back and practice with Mai too!
Kanami: I had a feeling you'd say something like that! I'll go with you.
Mihono: Okay!



[Marching - Mai: End]: What They Saw

At the marching band's main performance.

Mai: ......
Kanami: Mai-chan?
Mai: Ah, Kanami-chan...
Kanami: Feeling nervous?
Mai: ...Just a bit.
Kanami: It'll go fine.
Mai: You're right. Everyone tried so hard during practice, after all...
Kanami: That's why we'll definitely pull this off.
Mai: ...
Mai: How can... you be so sure?
Kanami: That's cause everybody knows by now. Just how much effort you've been putting into this.
Mai: How much I have...?
Kanami: Yeah. You've been trying so hard that it made everybody else work even harder.
Mai: They did...
Kanami: That's why I just know this'll go great. So let's have fun with it!
Mai: Okay!

Fukuda Sawano: (There's so many people here to watch. Though, if we just do it like we practiced...)
Futaba: (Yeah, yeah, all that practice is paying off!)
Mihono: (Here's where I have to not bump into Futaba... Okay!)
Kanami: (You can really tell how much everybody practiced! I'm not about to let them show me up either!)
Mai: (That's amazing...! Everyone's performance is even better than what they could do in practice!)

Mai: Nice work, everyone! Our performance was fantastic!
Mihono: That was so nerve-wracking!
Futaba: So many people came to see us!
Sawano: It looked like they were even broadcasting it online.
Mihono: Ehh!?
Kanami: Mai-chan, everybody sent you messages.
Mai: Eh? Ah, you're right! I got a message from Sayaka-chan saying, "That was great."
Mai: And there's ones from Ellen-chan and Kaoru-chan and everyone too... Fufu.
Kanami: See, I told you we'd pull it off.
Mai: You did, Kanami-chan!

[Swimsuit 20 - Mai: Start]: Am I Being... A Bit Overly Helpful?

Mai: Sayaka-chan. Are you getting things ready for tomorrow? If you'd like, I can help you?
Sayaka: I got ready yesterday. I put what I needed in my bag, just in case.
Mai: Sayaka-chan, that's great!
Sayaka: I also made sure to put in my swimsuit and a change of clothes. Should I bring a swim ring too?
Mai: If you want one to go down the river, it sounds like the campsite will rent them to you, so I think you'll be fine without.
Mai: It'll be easier for you if you have less to bring along.
Mai: (I can't help myself from wanting to look after Sayaka-chan, but since she's a serious girl, she can at least get the preparations done on her own.)
Sayaka: Then, I won't bring it. I'm really looking forward to tubing down the river tomorrow. I want to do it with you.
Mai: Mm, let's do it together. I'm sure it'll be fun and feel great.
Sayaka: And also, I'm looking forward to eating your cooking at the camp. I might not eat breakfast before we leave.
Mai: You should at least eat breakfast before we go. Though, I'm glad to hear you're excited for my cooking.
Sayaka: Okay, I will. What will you make?
Mai: Since Chie-san is going along with us, I talked with her, and we'll basically be doing a barbecue.
Mai: We can't do anything too elaborate with it, after all.
Mai: I think you'll have fun and it would be even tastier if you try barbecuing some meat and vegetables yourself, Sayaka-chan.
Sayaka: I don't know how to cook... But, I'll try it.
Mai: You'll be fine. I'll be there with you, and I know you can do it.
Mai: And then, we also talked about using a big iron plate and making enough yakisoba for everyone.
Mai: So long as we bring noodles, we can make it with the ingredients from the barbecue.
Sayaka: ......
Sayaka: ...From talking about food, I started feeling a little hungry.
Mai: I know what you mean. Talking like this makes you feel hungry, doesn't it?
Mai: But, it's probably best if you don't eat this late.
Sayaka: Mm... I'll hold off. I have to brush my teeth soon.
Mai: In that case, I'll be going back to my room.
Sayaka: I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight, Mai.
Mai: Mmhm, goodnight.
Sayaka: Ah... Wait.
Mai: Hm? What is it?
Sayaka: Tomorrow... If you can, I want you to call me when you wake up... I'm not sure I can wake up on my own.
Sayaka: ...Is that okay?
Mai: That's fine. I'll give you a call. And, if that doesn't wake you up, I'll come get you up myself.
Sayaka: Please do that. Thanks.



[Swimsuit 20 - Mai: End]: Swim Ring Tubing!

Mihono: That was good-. Why is it that meat tastes so much better eating under a big blue sky?
Mihono: Ah, and of course, the yakisoba you and Mai made was really yummy too, Chii-nee!
Chie: I'm glad you liked it. Ah, Mihono-chan. If you want to go play, you have to wait a little after you eat, alright?
Mihono: I know that much-!
Mai: What did you think, Sayaka-chan? How was the meat you cooked yourself?
Sayaka: It was tasty. But, I wasn't sure how much to grill it at first, so I burnt some.
Mai: I know what you mean. There were times I burned things when I first started cooking. I was worried I might undercook it.
Sayaka: You did it too, Mai? I want to try doing this again. With Kaoru next time.
Mai: It would be nice to come again when Kaoru is free.
Mai: Now that we've eaten, why don't we take a short break and then go to the river?
Mai: It seems like there's places where the river hardly flows at all, and you can just leisurely float along.
Sayaka: That sounds like Kaoru would like it.
Mai: That's true. If Kaoru-chan were here, I could see her relaxing with Nene-chan.
Sayaka: Tubing on the river. I was looking forward to it so much, after we finished talking last night, I couldn't fall asleep right away. I want to hurry and do it.

Mai: Kyaaaa!
Sayaka: Just then! The water was moving a little faster...!
Mai: Y-Yeah. There's a pretty big difference in speed at some points of the river, isn't there.
Sayaka: Sometimes it slows down, and sometimes it speeds up a little!
Mai: Mmhm... It's like a ride at an amusement park...!
Sayaka: It's really... fun!
Mai: When the water splashes you, it feels nice and cool.
Sayaka: Wahh-!?
Mai: Are you alright, Sayaka-chan!?
Sayaka: I'm fine. The swim ring just started sinking a little.
Mai: Ah... You scared me.
Mai: Oh, the tubing attendant is there. It looks like that's the end.
Sayaka: ......
Mai: Hey, Sayaka-chan? Do you want to go one more time? Tubing back down the river.
Sayaka: I was just thinking I wanted to go again.
Sayaka: Mai... You're amazing.
Mai: Fufu. But Sayaka-chan, that's because your face is saying you wanted to do it even more.
Mai: Besides, I had a lot of fun doing it too.

[Stage Girl - Mai: Start]: Two Triangles

Kanami: I can't wait to spar with all these stage girls! If I pass this up, I'll never get another chance like it.
Kanami: Honestly, ever since we came here and I saw them fighting aradama, I've wanted to spar with them-.
Mai: You said the same thing back when you first saw Hiyori-chan at the tournament, didn't you, Kanami-chan.
Kanami: Ehehe.
Hiyori: You did? Though it sounds just like something you'd do.
Kanami: Ah, Hiyori-chan. What's up?
Hiyori: What do you mean, "What's up?" You're the one who said to meet here so we could spar now.
Kanami: Oh yeah! Then, let's get right to it! I'll catch up with you later, Mai-chan~.
Mai: Okay. Be sure not to get hurt, you two.
Mai: ......
Mahiru: Mai-chan?
Mai: Tsuyuzaki-san? Did you need something?
Mahiru: Nothing in particular, but, I was watching you with Kanami-chan. You seem close.
Mai: We sure are. As soon as we met in middle school, we were fast friends. We spend lots of time together, in classes and in the dorms.
Mahiru: Just like Karen-chan and I. Since the start of high school, we've always been together as roommates! Though now there's three of us, since Hikari-chan moved in.
Mahiru: What about Hiyori-chan? Her uniform is different, so she's from a different school, isn't she?
Mai: We got to know Hiyori-chan during an incident at the tournament in our second year, and we've been friends ever since.
Mai: It all started with Kanami-chan befriending Hiyori-chan.
Mahiru: So that's what happened.
Kanami: Mai-chaaan, Tsuyuzaki-saaan! There's some aradama, so come over here!
Mai: We should go.
Mahiru: Okay!

Aradama: GGGIIII!
Mai: Tsuyuzaki-san, one of the aradama went that way! Could you get it!
Aradama: GGIIIII!
Mahiru: It's a little... scary, but I'll do it!
Mahiru: EIIIIIII!!
Mahiru: There! Home run!
Mahiru: It looks like we just finished cleaning up the aradama too.
Mai: The aradama's really gone... You're incredible, Mahiru-san.
Mahiru: It sort of looked like a ball, so I just gave it a good whack on reflex.
Mai: That was only by reflex...?
Mai: And not just that, but how you casually twirled around that weapon of yours like a baton as you fought...
Mai: The way you moved... I think I could use it as reference in future fights.
Mahiru: It's sort of embarrassing hearing you talk like that, Mai-chan.
Mahiru: But, would it really be helpful learning from me?
Mai: I'd like to give it a try. Will you teach me how?
Mahiru: Mmm, but even if I teach you how to twirl a baton, it's not very useful for fighting, is it? I just somehow make it work...
Mahiru: I know! Mai-chan, could we try training like we're really fighting?
Mai: Of course, if that's alright with you.
Mahiru: Then, let's do it over there.

Mahiru: I love the shining stage, but I love seeing you shine even more. I want to dance with you forever, in a duet going round and round. 99th generation, Tsuyuzaki Mahiru.
Mai: That line just now had such a stylish ring to it.
Mahiru: Ehehe, thank you. It makes me happy, hearing you say that. I get the feeling we're sort of alike, Mai-chan.
Mai: We're alike?
Mahiru: But we can talk about that after!
Mahiru: Fighting might be more of your specialty, but come try me, Mai-chan!
Mai: Here I come!
Mahiru: Ah, but I would appreciate it if you'd go a little easy on me after all.



[Stage Girl - Mai: End]: I Love Seeing You Shine Even More

Mahiru: Phew... I worked up a good sweat.
Mahiru: How was that? I hope it was helpful getting to see it up close at least.
Mai: It was. Though, I don't know if I'll be able to put it into practice straight away.
Mahiru: It would be difficult to use your okatana the same way I use my weapon, wouldn't it.
Mai: I think it's incredible enough that you can use that weapon like a baton, Tsuyuzaki-san!
Mahiru: You keep flattering me so much, Mai-chan~.
Mai: Ah, by the way. Before we started training, you told me the two of us were alike?
Mahiru: Yeah, about that. I sort of had the feeling that the relationship between you, Kanami-chan, and Hiyori-chan was similar to us.
Mahiru: I told you earlier, but, I'm roommates with Karen-chan, and I love her and we've always been together.
Mahiru: But then... When we were in our second year of high school, Hikari-chan, Karen-chan's childhood friend, transferred in.
Mai: Now that you say that, it does feel a little alike.
Mahiru: At the time... I felt like Hikari-chan was stealing Karen-chan away from me... I felt really anxious for a while...
Mahiru: That's why, I know I'm being a busybody, but I was kind of worried about how things are for you.
Mai: Thank you for your concern. Though, I'm fine. Kanami-chan and Hiyori-chan are both close friends of mine.
Mahiru: I'm glad to hear it. Sorry, for asking you something so weird.
Mai: Not at all.
Mahiru: Ahh, even though I'm the older one here, I'm acting kind of presumptuous. You really feel more reliable, Mai-chan.
Mai: That's not true; I'm still working on that myself.
Mai: Since we came to this world, you've worried about the troubles we're having more times than I can remember.
Mai: You're like our reliable big sister.
Mahiru: Well, I am a big sister. I have a little sister and brother at home. Maybe it's because of them, but I always find myself wanting to help others.
Mai: Ah, I have two little sisters myself.
Mahiru: We're the same~.
Mahiru: I don't mind going out of my way to help people, or I guess I should say, I just feel like I need to do something.
Mahiru: I used to help even more with Karen-chan in the past. Like helping her get out of bed in the mornings.
Mai: I can't help myself from taking care of things for my friends either. Though, sometimes they say I'm being overprotective...
Mahiru: Hmmm, but, if the person you're helping isn't bothered by it, isn't it alright?
Mai: That's how I feel!
Kanami: Good work, you two-.
Karen: Mahiru-chan, you sorta look like you're getting along with Mai-chan. What were you talking about?
Mahiru: About how we tend to look after others, and how we're a little bit a like.
Hiyori: Now that you mention it, you might be similar to each other.
Hikari: But when it comes to looking after others, I think you overdo it some.
Mahiru: If you could keep everything in order yourself, Hikari-chan, I wouldn't argue. Can you?
Hikari: Nn...
Karen: I want you to help with that, Mahiru-chan. Without you around, our room would look like a disaster zone.
Mahiru: You and Hikari-chan should make sure to tidy up after yourselves, Karen-chan~.
Kanami: Hey, Mai-chan. I've got something I want to ask from you.
Mai: Like what? I'm all ears.
Kanami: I was eating the sweets Daiba-san made earlier. And I started wanting to have some of your cookies.
Kanami: When we get back, could you make some for me...?
Mai: Mm, I'll make you some.
Kanami: Nice-, thanks-!
