Shizuku

Listen

Achoo!!
This rain isn't doing us any favors...
2

Shizuku

Listen

Ena and Airi might catch a cold if they stay exposed like this. I'm worried about Mizuki too...
3

Shizuku

Listen

No, I need to be more positive...!
We need to save them before the rain gets worse. Is there anything I can do right now to help...?
4

???

Listen

<Oh, is this a bad time...?>
5

Shizuku

Listen

Wait, this voice... Was that...?

Luka

Listen

<Shizuku, it sounded like you're in quite a bit of trouble...!>
7

Shizuku

Listen

Luka...!
8

Shizuku

Listen

W-We are!
Ena and Airi fell down a ledge...!
9

Shizuku

Listen

Mizuki went off to go look for help, but I haven't been able to do anything for them. It's raining too, so if we don't do something soon, Ena and Airi might...
10

Luka

Listen

<Don't worry, Shizuku. We can think of a way to help them together.>
11

Shizuku

Listen

Luka... Thank you so much...!
12

Luka

Listen

<You said they fell, but can they still move around?>
13

Shizuku

Listen

I believe so. Airi said she scraped her knee, but that was about it. Still, I'm incredibly concerned...
14

Luka

Listen

<I see... We do need to act fast...>
15

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, we do. I was hoping that I'd be able to just pull them back up, but they were too far away. If only we had a rope or something...
16

Luka

Listen

<Do you have anything that can act as a rope?>
17

Shizuku

Listen

Well, I was carrying the tarp and towels. Oh, a change of clothes too...
18

Shizuku

Listen

But these wouldn't be long enough even if we did turn them into a rope somehow...
19

Shizuku

Listen

What if I tied them all together?
Then they might be long enough...!
20

Luka

Listen

<Great idea! Do you know how to tie the right knots?>
21

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, I think I still do. I learned how to for an educational show once. Do you think this will work...?
22

Luka

Listen

<I believe in you.
I'm sure you can do it, Shizuku!>
23

Shizuku

Listen

Thanks, Luka...!
I'll give it a try!
24

Airi

Listen

It's really starting to come down. That ledge is gonna be way too wet to climb up now...
25

Ena

Listen

What do we do? It'll be dark soon too...! If we can't get back up, does that mean we'll...?
26

Airi

Listen

Saying stuff like that isn't gonna help us get out of this. We have to keep trying and come up with a way to get out of here!
27

Ena

Listen

But we've already tried everything!
What else can we possibly do?!
28

Ena

Listen

*Gasp*...
29

Ena

Listen

I'm so sorry, Airi. It's all my fault for slipping and falling down here in the first place...
30

Airi

Listen

Ena, enough...!
Just try thinking about your art or something for now!
31

Ena

Listen

Huh? My art?

32

Airi

Listen

Back in junior high, your dad told you that you don't have any talent, but you kept on drawing! You never gave up!
33

Airi

Listen

Even after you couldn't get into that art school, even as no one appreciated your art, you kept going!
34

Airi

Listen

You overcame all those things and never gave up! You're a fighter, Ena!
35

Ena

Listen

Airi...
36

Airi

Listen

So buck up!
We have to believe in Mizuki too!

Mizuki

Listen

I'll be fine! I promise to be right back with help!
38

Ena

Listen

Believe in...
Yeah, I'm sure Mizuki will...
39

Mizuki's Voice

Listen

Hey, you guys!!
40

Ena

Listen

Wait, was that Mizuki's voice...?
41

Mizuki

Listen

I'm back!! I brought help too!!
42

Shizuku

Listen

Mizuki!
43

Luka

Listen

<Thank goodness. Looks like everything will be okay now♪>
44

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, I think so...!
Oh, right! I need to put you away for now, Luka...!
45

Luka

Listen

<Yes, but I'll still be here with you until Ena and Airi are back safe with you.>
46

Shizuku

Listen

Thank you, Luka!
47

Mizuki

Listen

You two, over here!

Rui

Listen

Is this where your friends fell, Mizuki?
49

Nene

Listen

Whoa, that's pretty steep...
50

Rui

Listen

I do have some rope on me, but it may not be long enough...
51

Shizuku

Listen

In that case, please feel free to use this...!
52

Mizuki

Listen

Hm...?
Did you make this, Shizuku?
53

Shizuku

Listen

I did. If you tie it together with that rope of yours, I'm sure we can use it to save them!
54

Mizuki

Listen

Nice work, Shizuku!
55

Rui

Listen

You've tied these together very well.
I believe this will do...
56

Nene

Listen

Okay, let me tie the other end of the rope to here and...
57

Rui

Listen

Alright, everyone... Pull!

58

Ena

Listen

W-We made it... I thought we were goners...!
59

Airi

Listen

The rain really didn't help, but great work hanging in there, Ena!
60

Ena

Listen

You too, Airi. I don't even want to think about what might've happened if Mizuki and Shizuku weren't here either...
61

Shizuku

Listen

Airi! Ena!
Thank goodness you're safe...!
62

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah, I'm relieved too but exhausted at the same time...
63

Airi

Listen

You two really saved our skins there. I'm not sure we'll ever be able to pay you back for this...
64

Mizuki

Listen

Nah, don't worry about that...
65

Ena

Listen

And we need to thank these two for saving us as well...
66

Nene

Listen

What, us?
We're just glad that you're safe.
67

Rui

Listen

It looks like you can still walk too. We'll lead you back to the rest area.
68

Mizuki

Listen

Right...!
69

Luka

Listen

<I'm glad everything worked out. I'll be heading back now, Shizuku.>
70

Shizuku

Listen

Thank you for your help, Luka. And I'm sorry about not getting a chance to show you this wonderful landscape...
71

Luka

Listen

<Oh, don't mind me.
I'll see you later, okay♪>
72

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, see you in SEKAI!
73

Ena

Listen

Hm? Did you just say something, Shizuku?
74

Shizuku

Listen

Huh? Oh, I was just talking to myself...
75

Airi

Listen

We'll have to apologize to everyone that came on this tour too. They're probably worried sick about us...
76

Ena

Listen

Yeah, but how...?
77

Mizuki

Listen

For now, let's just be glad that we're all okay. After we get back, we can get some well deserved rest...
78

Ena

Listen

Um, Mizuki...
79

Mizuki

Listen

What's up?
80

Ena

Listen

Wasn't that your favorite outfit?
I feel terrible about it getting ruined like that. I'm so sorry...
81

Mizuki

Listen

What, this? I did like it, but I can just buy something else, right? More importantly...

Mizuki

Listen

You're safe now and that's what matters most.
83

Ena

Listen

Mizuki...
84

Mizuki

Listen

And you're not hurt at all?
85

Ena

Listen

I'm fine, really...
86

Airi

Listen

Yeah, me too!
This barely counts as a scratch!
87

Ena

Listen

Oh, Airi...
Just promise to get it checked after we head home, okay?
88

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, please do. You might not even know something's wrong until days later.
89

Airi

Listen

Okay, okay, I'll go! I promise...!
90

Ena

Listen

(It's been a while since I saw that look on Mizuki's face...)
91

Ena

Listen

(I want to help. I have to help...)
92

Ena

Listen

(I don't care if Mizuki doesn't feel like talking, I don't want to see that expression again...)
93

Ena

Listen

(I mean, Mizuki's my...)
