— Ayame Mikuri — Dear Director, I'm a Magical Girl now.
— Ayame Mikuri — Me, Konoha, and Hazuki stick together through thick 'n' thin.
— Ayame Mikuri — We get into some scrapes now and then, but as long as we're together, it works out somehow.

Hazuki Yusa	That Witch was tougher than it looked.
Konoha Shizumi	No two ways around it though—we were played.
Konoha Shizumi	She totally suckered us into this...
Konoha Shizumi	...Nanaka Tokiwa.
Konoha Shizumi	We need to be more careful about dealing with her and her team.
Hazuki Yusa	You've got a point. It feels like she shoved a chore on us that they couldn't be bothered with.
Konoha Shizumi	Are you listening, Ayame? Watch out for them.
Ayame Mikuri	Yup! Got it, got it!
Ayame Mikuri	(Better not mention my plans to hang out with Kako then...)
Ayame Mikuri	(She's a good person, even if Konoha doesn't like her team so much.)
— Ayame Mikuri — See, Kako's a Magical Girl I met after movin' to Sankyo Ward. And we're both 13 years old, so we hit it off quick, y'know?
— Ayame Mikuri — But lately it feels like there's some kinda turf war goin' on between our teams...
— Ayame Mikuri — ...so we keep buttin' heads with them.
— Ayame Mikuri — It's like, me and Kako can't even hang out without feelin' guilty or something...
— Ayame Mikuri — I know it's not a huge deal, but what would you do, Director?

Ayame Mikuri	*Sigh*
Kako Natsume	Uh, Ayame...? Are you all right?
Ayame Mikuri	Today it finally happened. Konoha basically said...
Ayame Mikuri	...to keep away from your team.
Kako Natsume	She said that...?
Ayame Mikuri	Yeah, so I had to sneak out to see ya today.
Kako Natsume	It must be because of all that's happened between us, you think?
Ayame Mikuri	Beats me. But that's the only explanation, right?
Kako Natsume	Sh-should we be doing this, then? You meeting up with me and stuff...
Ayame Mikuri	It's fine, it's fine! Konoha's shoppin' somewhere far off today.
Ayame Mikuri	I was mopin' earlier since it's gonna be a pain to sneak around!
Kako Natsume	Oh...
Kako Natsume	Well, Nanaka hasn't told us we can't talk to your team or anything.
Kako Natsume	But she did say to remember that we can't always know people's motives...
Ayame & Kako	......
Ayame Mikuri	Enough, enough! I don't wanna talk about dumb stuff like this anymore!
Ayame Mikuri	So let's have some fun now, Kako!
Kako Natsume	...Okay!
— Ayame Mikuri — Me and Kako are good friends, but we can't hang out 'cause our teams don't get along or whatever...
— Ayame Mikuri — Don't you think that's kinda weird?

♪ Musical track: Lost Tension
Ayame Mikuri	Ohhh... That's the book you liked so much, huh?
Kako Natsume	Yes. It's about an adventure on the high seas.
Kako Natsume	It's an easy read too, so I thought you might want to check it out...
Ayame Mikuri	But the book's as thick as a brick! Just thinkin' about it puts me to sleep.
Kako Natsume	It's only because there are lots of pictures too. I think you'll get through it just fine.
Ayame Mikuri	It's got pictures?! Why didn't ya say so first? Let's see them!
Kako Natsume	R-right, I'll show you!
*Flip* *Flip*
Ayame Mikuri	Oooh! Look at this one...
Kako Natsume	This illustration is pretty, right? I like it too.
Kako Natsume	You can see all the main characters watching the sun sink below the ocean horizon...
Ayame Mikuri	An ocean sunset...
Ayame Mikuri	......
Ayame Mikuri	Say, Kako...
Ayame Mikuri	When the sun sinks into the ocean...
Ayame Mikuri	...do you think the water starts to bubble?
Kako Natsume	Huh? Bubble like...when you're boiling something in a pot?
Ayame Mikuri	Yeah, yeah! Exactly!
Ayame Mikuri	Like when a pot of water gets all hot and starts to bubble up!
Ayame Mikuri	You know what I'm sayin'? So when a red-hot sun sinks into the sea...
Ayame Mikuri	...won't the water start boilin' up from the heat?!
Kako Natsume	Uh... To be honest, I don't think that sounds right.
Ayame Mikuri	Why not?!
Kako Natsume	Well, it's not like the sun is really sinking into the water, right?
Ayame Mikuri	It's not? Then where's it disappearin' to?
Kako Natsume	Hm... How do I explain this...
Ayame Mikuri	You ever seen it for yourself?! As proof it doesn't sink into the water!
Kako Natsume	No, I can't say that I have...
Ayame Mikuri	Uh huh! So let's go to the beach right now!
Kako Natsume	What?! Right now?!
Ayame Mikuri	I won't believe it 'less I see it with my own eyes!
Kako Natsume	Uh... I guess there are lots of things...
Kako Natsume	...you can't really understand until you see it.
Ayame Mikuri	Right, right? Exactly!
Kako Natsume	And it might be nice to go and see the ocean too...
Kako Natsume	After re-reading the book, I can't stop thinking about visiting the sea.
Ayame Mikuri	Then it's decided! Let's me and you go to the beach!
Kako Natsume	...Okay!
Kako Natsume	I'll pull up a map on my phone...
Kako Natsume	It's a little far... But look here.
Kako Natsume	There's even a good spot where you can see the sunset!
Ayame Mikuri	Yeah, yeah! Let's go straight there!
Ayame Mikuri	Oh, but how do we get there?
Kako Natsume	...Looks like we have to take a train and a bus.
Kako Natsume	If we leave now though, we can make it in time for the sunset.

♪ Musical track: Postmeridie
Ayame Mikuri	Oof! It costs that much to ride the train?!
Kako Natsume	It calculates a round-trip fare, not just one way.
Ayame Mikuri	Hm... I'm not sure I have enough for it though.
Kako Natsume	Oh, but check this out. This could work, don't you think?

Ayame Mikuri	Student discount...
Ayame Mikuri	WE'RE students!
Ayame Mikuri	Now there's nothing stoppin' us!
Kako Natsume	Oh, I forgot...
Ayame Mikuri	What is it?
Kako Natsume	Won't Konoha get mad if you go with me? Especially somewhere far away...
Kako Natsume	I mean, she doesn't want you associating with me.
Ayame Mikuri	I'm just gonna tell her I'll be home late.
Kako Natsume	Huh? Are you sure about this?
Ayame Mikuri	It's fine, it's fine!
Ayame Mikuri	It's not like I'm NOT comin' home!
Ayame Mikuri	What about you? Gonna call about gettin' home late too?
Kako Natsume	Yes, I'll let my family know.
Kako Natsume	I'll let my team know too, since I wouldn't want Nanaka to worry...
Kako Natsume	So I'll say I'm going on a little outing.
Ayame Mikuri	Good! Now let's get this trip started!
— Ayame Mikuri — Dear Director, I'm goin' on an adventure!
— Ayame Mikuri — Me and Kako. It's our first adventure together.
— Ayame Mikuri — An adventure to find the sea! But don't tell Konoha and Hazuki, okay?!

Ayame Mikuri	Hey! Look, how fast we're goin', Kako!
— Ayame Mikuri — "My house is AAALLL the way over there now!"
— Ayame Mikuri — "The trees and buildings look like they're whooshing away!"
Kako Natsume	Ayame, this isn't your first time on a train...right?
Ayame Mikuri	Course it's not!
Kako Natsume	S-sorry. What could make me think such a thing...
Ayame Mikuri	But...it's funny, y'know?
Ayame Mikuri	I've been on trains a million times before...
Ayame Mikuri	But ridin' with you to a brand new place...
Ayame Mikuri	...is makin' my heart rush!
Kako Natsume	Making your heart "rush"...?
Kako Natsume	*Giggle* I get it. Your heart's "racing" with excitement.
Ayame Mikuri	Racing... Yeah, that must be it!
Ayame Mikuri	I mean, I'm always sneakin' around to meet up with you, right?
Ayame Mikuri	But with Konoha and Hazuki nowhere near, we're havin' some real fun!
Kako Natsume	Yes, I guess we haven't ever done something like this...
Kako Natsume	*Giggle* It's like we're absconding away to live an adventure story.
Ayame Mikuri	Abs conding? Like, we're buildin' up our tummy muscles?
Kako Natsume	It means...we're going far away together. Does that make sense?
Ayame Mikuri	Ha ha! I like the sound of that!
*Ring Ring* *Ring Ring*
Kako Natsume	Oh, Ayame! Is that your phone?
Ayame Mikuri	Whoops! I forgot to put it in silent mode for the train ride.
Kako Natsume	Okay, but...does that mean Konoha's looking for you?
Ayame Mikuri	...Seems like it. Let me check something.
*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*
Kako Natsume	Now she's textin' me!
Ayame Mikuri	I should've put it on silent first! Gimme a break, Konoha!
Kako Natsume	She really wants to get in touch. Don't you think you should reply?
Ayame Mikuri	Nope, nope! All she's gonna say is, "Come home right now!"
Kako Natsume	Oh, heh heh...
Kako Natsume	We get off at the next station, and then we catch a bus.
Ayame Mikuri	I might be gettin' hungry though...
Kako Natsume	How about we grab a bite to eat before we ride the bus?
Ayame Mikuri	The thought of buyin' food to eat and run feels like breakin' the rules a little!
Kako Natsume	Yes, I don't really do that either, so it'd be kind of a thrill!
Ayame Mikuri	I always wanted to eat cup noodles on the curb outside a convenience store like people do sometimes.
Ayame Mikuri	But I don't have much money, so we'd have to share one.
Kako Natsume	Going halfsies with you is just another fun thing to do together.
Ayame Mikuri	I was gonna say the same thing!
Kako Natsume	If we hop on the bus from this stop, then it'll take us to the beach.
Ayame Mikuri	This is even easier than I thought!

Ayame Mikuri	*Sigh*
Kako Natsume	I can't believe the bus broke down and made us get off here...
Kako Natsume	It was always in the realm of possibility.
Ayame Mikuri	What did the driver tell ya?
Kako Natsume	Well, the next bus isn't coming for a long time.
Kako Natsume	If we take the long way though, we can ride a bus bound for Kamihama...
Kako Natsume	...and then take a different train to the beach. It'd be faster than waiting.
Ayame Mikuri	Okay, sounds good to me!
Ayame Mikuri	Where could it be...?
Kako Natsume	The bus should've come by now. Could it be late?
Ayame Mikuri	When will it get here though? Come on already, Kamihama bus!
	Pardon me, but the stop for your bus is that way.
Ayame Mikuri	What?! We've been waitin' in the wrong place?!
	This stop is for the bus bound for Kamihama East.
	But I suppose it's easy to confuse the two if you don't live around here.
Kako Natsume	Okay, so where exactly is it?
	It's up that big street, but you've got a bit of a walk.
Ayame Mikuri	A walk, huh? Thanks for your help!
Kako Natsume	This little outing is turning out to be more trouble than we expected.
Ayame Mikuri	Yeah, but is it me? Or...
Ayame Mikuri	...is this totally like an adventure and SUPER fun?!
— Ayame Mikuri — Dear Director, I'm learnin' that all alone, I—scratch that—we can go on an adventure.
— Ayame Mikuri — Because I'm not a little kid anymore. Not like that day you met me.
— Ayame Mikuri — Heh heh! Isn't that amazing?! Would ya say I'm a big girl now?

Ayame Mikuri	Nah, we did all right! It's not our fault the bus broke down.
Ayame Mikuri	And we're still havin' a blast, right?! I know I am!
Ayame Mikuri	Hanging out in the park together is great, for sure.

Kako Natsume	If we'd waited for the next bus at the place where we got off...
Kako Natsume	...we could've gone straight to the beach, but it would've taken longer.
Ayame Mikuri	Who needs that?! Runnin' around's what makes an adventure!
Ayame Mikuri	Wowww! Have you ever seen a place like this?!

Kako Natsume	...the sunflowers bloom almost all year round...
Kako Natsume	...because of timed sowing and genetic selection. That's so neat...

Ayame Mikuri	See? We would've missed this if we planned it all out!

Ayame Mikuri	Oh, now yours is ringin'.
Kako Natsume	It's Nanaka...
Ayame Mikuri	Does she want something from you?
Kako Natsume	Yes, but it's not urgent, so I'll tell her I can't today.
Ayame Mikuri	That's not like you, right? You're always runnin' off when someone needs ya.
Kako Natsume	But I...
Kako Natsume	I want to spend today with you. Enjoying ourselves.
Kako Natsume	Even if I left now, I'm coming from too far away to do what she needs.

Ayame Mikuri	Ah... I wish our teams would get it together already.
Ayame Mikuri	I mean, you and I get along so easy like this.
Kako Natsume	It's got to be more complicated than it seems...
Ayame Mikuri	Do you think if our teams had an outing together...
Ayame Mikuri	...then they could learn to get along?
Kako Natsume	Hm... I doubt even a short trip would go well with all of us.
Ayame Mikuri	Yeah. Maybe you're right...

Ayame Mikuri	Why?! Whyyy?!
Ayame Mikuri	If some grownups wanna squabble, why bring us kids into it?!
Ayame Mikuri	The director's gone, and soon the Azalea House will be too!
Konoha Shizumi	We need to figure this out on our own.
— Ayame Mikuri — We tried really hard, y'know. Tried the best we could to keep from losing Azalea House. But us kids didn't stand a chance.
— Ayame Mikuri — And then, the day we were gonna leave Azalea House...
— Ayame Mikuri — ...we met Kyubey.
— Ayame Mikuri — Kyubey said you could have any wish come true if you became a Magical Girl.
— Ayame Mikuri — So we talked about it—me, Konoha, and Hazuki—and decided on a couple wishes.
— Ayame Mikuri — Then we'd each make a wish and become Magical Girls.
— Ayame Mikuri — The first was that Azalea House would stay open forever and ever.
— Ayame Mikuri — That was the wish I made!
— Ayame Mikuri — The second was to bring down anything out to get Azalea House.
— Ayame Mikuri — But since we had a one more to decide, I came up with an idea...
— Ayame Mikuri — ...for our third wish!
Ayame Mikuri	Oh, wait, I know! We can bring the director back!
Konoha Shizumi	No, we can't, Ayame.
Ayame Mikuri	What?! Why not?!
Ayame Mikuri	I wanna see her again! I miss her, I miss her!
Konoha Shizumi	I'm really sorry...
Konoha Shizumi	But I think bringing her back through a method like this...
Konoha Shizumi	Would that really be the right thing to do?
Hazuki Yusa	And I wonder what she'd think of us if we did...
Konoha Shizumi	I know wishes are selfish by nature, but even so...
Konoha Shizumi	I think wishing for that would be going too far.
Konoha Shizumi	I respect her too much to do that to her.
— Ayame Mikuri — So, I'm sorry, Director.
— Ayame Mikuri — You know I wanna see you again, but I could see where they were comin' from...
— Ayame Mikuri — Then, for our final wish...
Konoha Shizumi	...We'll have everyone at the Azalea House forget we were ever there.
— Ayame Mikuri — Cause bein' Magical Girls meant we'd be livin' a strange life, y'know? A new and dangerous one...
Konoha Shizumi	There's a chance that we might cause problems for everyone else.
Konoha Shizumi	So we need to erase all evidence that we ever existed here.
Konoha Shizumi	And never involve ourselves with Azalea House again...
— Ayame Mikuri — And that was it. We were officially magical.
Konoha Shizumi	The three of us are still going to be together, even after we leave!
Konoha Shizumi	No... We'll be even closer than ever! We'll live together, hands held tight!
Konoha Shizumi	No matter what, we'll have each other! We'll keep going, just us three!
— Ayame Mikuri — And the rest is history. Azalea House was saved, the bad guys were found, and the three of us moved away to live together.
— Ayame Mikuri — So I'm pretty good... Or just good...sort of.
— Ayame Mikuri — See, Konoha doesn't try and get along with other Magical Girls.
— Ayame Mikuri — So it's makin' it awkward for me and Kako to be friends.
— Ayame Mikuri — But I know Konoha's not sayin' these things to make me miserable.
— Ayame Mikuri — She's only doin' it to protect the team. Of course I get that, Director...
— Ayame Mikuri — I get it, but I wish she would get this...
— Ayame Mikuri — I care about all of them. Konoha, Hazuki, AND Kako.

Ayame Mikuri	Hazuki is mostly chill about it, so I'm not worried.
Ayame Mikuri	But where we are is still secret! If I told her that, she'd tell Konoha for sure...

— Ayame Mikuri — As I fell asleep, memories from today flashed in my mind one after the other.

Konoha Shizumi	The sunset?
Ayame Mikuri	We went to the beach to see if the ocean boils up when the sun's goin' down!

Konoha Shizumi	...Well, if that's your answer, I'll have to accept it.
Konoha Shizumi	But it's time to go home now. We'll discuss this when we get back.
Konoha Shizumi	Because we need to talk it out before this happens again.
Ayame Mikuri	......
Konoha Shizumi	Ayame?
Ayame Mikuri	I'm not goin' home!
Ayame Mikuri	If I go home now, you won't let me hang out with Kako again.
Konoha Shizumi	About that...
Ayame Mikuri	We had so much fun together yesterday!
Ayame Mikuri	The train, the sunflowers, the ocean... My heart was racing and it was awesome!
Ayame Mikuri	It made me realize something too...
Ayame Mikuri	The way you've been bossin' me around lately...
Ayame Mikuri	...about what I can and can't do was stiflin' me.
Ayame Mikuri	I understand what you're feelin', Konoha. Or I meant to understand, at least...
Ayame Mikuri	But you gotta understand how I feel too!
Konoha Shizumi	Oh, Ayame...
Ayame Mikuri	I wanna hang out with my friend Kako!
Ayame Mikuri	And I do feel bad about makin' you worry.
Ayame Mikuri	So I promise I'll tell you where I am next time! Okay?
Ayame Mikuri	So just...just...
Konoha Shizumi	......
Konoha Shizumi	I didn't realize how my words were making you feel...
Konoha Shizumi	So I'm truly sorry, Ayame.
Konoha Shizumi	......
Konoha Shizumi	Let's me, you, and Hazuki talk together about how we'll deal with other teams.
Ayame Mikuri	R-really?!
Konoha Shizumi	Maybe I could've been a bit more open-minded about this...
Konoha Shizumi	Because I'd never say something that meant you'd stop seeing your friend.
Ayame Mikuri	I knew you'd come around!
Konoha Shizumi	I should apologize to you too, Kako. I think I caused you some trouble here...
Kako Natsume	Oh, uh, um... No worries...
Konoha Shizumi	Shall we go now, Ayame?
Ayame Mikuri	Okay!
— Ayame Mikuri — Dear Director...
— Ayame Mikuri — This was an adventure I'm never gonna forget.
— Ayame Mikuri — The view from the train as it whooshed away...
— Ayame Mikuri — The noodles we shared on the curb outside...
— Ayame Mikuri — Takin' the long way only to find those giant sunflowers...
— Ayame Mikuri — And the awesome sunset I watched with Kako right next to me.
— Ayame Mikuri — I'm never never, ever ever EVER gonna forget!
