Airi

Listen

Hey, anyone else feel like we went the wrong way? This trail's just been getting rougher and rougher...
2

Mizuki

Listen

You too? I thought the same thing since we haven't gotten even a glimpse of the parking lot yet...
3

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, this feels strange. We went down the beginner route just like the sign back there said...
4

Ena

Listen

Maybe we should go back and retrace our steps...?
5

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah, we should. We turned there and came from... Hang on...
6

Mizuki

Listen

Which way did we come from again...?
7

Ena

Listen

The right side?
8

Airi

Listen

Really? Didn't we come from the left?
9

Ena & Airi

Listen

...
10

Mizuki

Listen

What do we do? We've taken so many turns, we've forgotten where we came from...!!
11

Shizuku

Listen

A-Are we lost...?
12

Ena

Listen

No, don't say that! It's not a big mountain or anything, so I'm sure we'll find our way back, right?
13

Ena

Listen

Oh, right! We can just check on our phones to see where we are too...!
14

Mizuki

Listen

Duh! Wow, I was really worried there for a second...
15

Ena

Listen

Hm...?
16

Airi

Listen

What's wrong, Ena?
17

Ena

Listen

I'm not getting a signal...
18

Shizuku

Listen

Oh no! What else can we do...?!
What if you waved your phone around in the air?
19

Mizuki

Listen

No, that almost never works!
20

Ena

Listen

Oh, maybe I am getting something...
If I just go over here and...

Ena, wait! That's a...!

Huh...?
A ledge...?!

Ena

Airi...!!
25

Airi

Listen

Gotcha! Just barely...!
26

Ena

Listen

Th-Thanks...
I didn't see it drop off there...
27

Airi

Listen

It's just a part of hiking.
I'm gonna pull you up, so come a little closer...
28

Ena

Listen

Airi, wait! This rock under my foot's about to...!
29

Airi

Huh?!

Nene

Listen

Phew... Almost there...
32

Rui

Listen

Oh, Nene, I brought some candy with me. Would you like a piece?
33

Nene

Listen

S-Sure, I'll take one...
34

???

Listen

Noooooo!
35

Nene

Listen

Huh...?
Did you hear someone scream just now?
36

Rui

Listen

Hm? There are plenty of wild animals around here. Someone could've just come across one...
37

Rui

Listen

And it looks like it's about to start raining too, Nene. We may want to find some shelter before it's too late...

38

Nene

Listen

Oh, you're right. Those definitely look like rain clouds...
39

Nene

Listen

I'm getting a bad feeling about this...

Airi

Listen

Ow, that hurt...
41

Ena

Listen

Airi! Are you okay?!
42

Airi

Listen

Yeah. I scraped my knee a little, but I should be fine.
43

Airi

Listen

What about you, Ena?
44

Ena

Listen

I'm okay too, but my clothes got pretty dirty...
Ugh...This stuff better wash out...!!
45

Airi

Listen

Hehe. I haven't gotten this muddy since the last time I was on a variety show...!
46

Ena

Listen

How can you say something like that right now?!
47

Mizuki's Voice

Listen

Hey, you guys!!
48

Shizuku's Voice

Listen

Are you hurt?!
49

Ena

Listen

No, we're fine!
We just slipped and fell is all!
50

Ena

Listen

We'll just have to climb our way back up! Let's go, Airi!
51

Airi

Listen

Yeah! Let's get out of here and get cleaned up!
52

Airi

Listen

Shizuku! Mizuki! We're gonna try climbing back up! Can you pull us up when we get close?
53

Shizuku's Voice

Listen

Okay!
54

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah, we should be able to!
55

Airi

Listen

Alright, it's time to put my legs to the test! Those shows all prepared me for something like this!!
56

Airi

Listen

I can use this rock to jump up and... Whoa...!!

57

Ena

Listen

Airi?!
58

Airi

Listen

No good. The moss is too slippery...
59

Airi

Listen

But I can't give up here. I wouldn't be able to call myself an idol if I did! We're getting out of here!!
60

Airi

Listen

One, two...!
MORE MORE JUMP!!!!

Listen

Airi!!
64

Ena

Listen

Are you okay?! Are you hurt?!
65

Airi

Listen

I'm fine...
But I can't get back up at all. I feel like a disgrace as an idol...!
66

Ena

Listen

What does being an idol have to do with this...?!
67

Shizuku

Listen

They're having quite a bit of trouble...
It feels like they're just out of our reach. Maybe we can pull them up if we go out a little further...?

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

68

Mizuki

Listen

Maybe, but if they slip while you're doing that, you'd fall down there with them...
69

Shizuku

Listen

Is there anything else we can do...?
70

Mizuki

Listen

...
71

Mizuki

Listen

Shizuku, I can try looking for a place where I get a signal and call for help!
72

Shizuku

Listen

Huh?!
73

Mizuki

Listen

Ena! Airi!
This might take a while, but try to hang on, okay?!
74

Ena's Voice

Listen

Mizuki...?!
75

Airi's Voice

Listen

But the trail!! What if you get lost when you're by yourself...?!
76

Mizuki

Listen

I'll be fine! I promise to be right back with help!
77

Ena's Voice

Listen

But...
78

Mizuki

Listen

Shizuku, can you wait with them here? We need to make sure nothing happens to them while we try to get help...
79

Shizuku

Listen

I understand...
Good luck, Mizuki!
80

Mizuki

Listen

Thanks! Be back soon!

Mizuki

Listen

(No, it's really starting to come down... If I don't get help soon, Ena and Airi are gonna be in trouble...)

(*Sigh*... They're ruined...
I really liked this outfit too...)

(Seriously, what am I doing?
Getting all muddy in a place like this...)

Mizuki

(If I want to keep hanging out with everyone, does that mean I have to tell them...?)
90

Mizuki

Listen

(I want things to stay like this next year and the year after, but a part of me still thinks it's pointless...)
91

Mizuki

Listen

I know that...
I get it, but...

Ena

Listen

<After we saw those cherry blossoms together, did something happen? You seem a little different, you know...?>
93

Airi

Listen

If there's something bothering you, Mizuki, I think you should talk to Ena about it. I'm sure she can help you.
94

Mizuki

Listen

(For now, I need to keep going...!)

95

Mizuki

Listen

(I can just buy new clothes to replace these. What happens next year or the year after doesn't matter right now either...!)
96

Mizuki

Listen

(I have to help them...!)
97

Mizuki

Listen

(I have to find a way to save Ena and Airi...!)
98

???

Listen

We got down sooner than I expected.
99

???

Listen

Yeah. It's a good thing that we saw it coming too. We should be able to keep dry here.

Mizuki

Listen

(People...? Hey, a rest area...!
Thank goodness...!)
101

Mizuki

Listen

Excuse me!!
102

???

Listen

Huh?
103

Mizuki

Listen

I really need your help!!
My friends fell off a ledge...!

Mizuki

Listen

Huh...?
