Hina Logi: From Luck & Logic Episode 2: Transforming is Not Mastered in a Day\Rice Balls Over Flowers
[''The Bandai Visual and the 2017 Funimation logo appear. The opening scene shows the school. It cuts to Mahiro's room and Mahiro is sleeping in her pyjamas. A knock is on the door, and Yayoi, Karin, and Karen come inside.'']

Yayoi: You ladies ready for class? Mahiro, wake up this intsant or you're going to be late! (SUB: Please excuse me. Mahiro-san, you had better wake up soon or you'll be late.)

[Mahiro is still sleeping.]

Yayoi: Karin, Karen.

Karin: On it. (SUB: Understood.)

Karen: No prob! (SUB: Sure thing!)

[''Yayoi opens the curtains and Karin and Karen pull the covers out of the bed, making Mahiro jump out. But, it seems that Mahiro is still sleeping.'']

Yayoi: Look at this room. It's a disgusting mess. (SUB: Just look at this place. It's a complete mess.)

Lion: [offscreen] Good morning, Yayoi! (SUB: Good morning, Yayoi-chan.)

Yayoi: Lion, were you sleeping up in the loft? (SUB: Oh, are you staying in the loft?)

Lion: [giggles]

Yayoi: But, your bed's down here next to Mahi... (SUB: But your bed is over here.)

[Mahiro is now gone, and has left a bunch of books and stuff.]

Yayoi: My, my, you should put this stuff away immediately. (SUB: Gosh, clean that up at once.)

Lion: No way. We're having fun using it as a toy box. (SUB: No, it's okay. It's fun because it's like big toy box.)

Yayoi: Keeping your room nice and tidy is part of the dorm rules. I know, it's not easy, but you mustn't baby her like that. (SUB: Keeping one's room tidy and organized is one of the dorm rules. You mustn't baby her.)

Karin: Mistress, I think you do quite a lot of babying yourself.

Yayoi: It's only for today and that's because she absolutely cannot be late for class. (SUB: It's only for today! And that's only because she absolutely cannot be late today.)

[Mahiro starts wobbling around while she is asleep.]

Mahiro: My all-night cram session is tough, even for a night owl like me. (SUB: Even if I am a night owl, an all-night cram session is still tough.)

[A question mark appears on Lion's head.]

Lion: Cram session?

Mahiro: [sighs] Yeah, we have to take midterms today. (SUB: Today we have midterms.)

Lion: Really? What are those? (SUB: What are those?)

[Nina is seen in the restaurant.]

Lion: [offscreen] They're tough?! [sobs] No! (SUB: Th-They're tests?!)

[''The theme song starts playing. After the theme song, the scene shows the four periods of their classes, then it shows Lion, who is still stressed out.'']

Yayoi: Hey, are you still alive?

Mahiro: Well, there's nothing you can do about it now, so, stop worrying. Everything will be fine as long as you don't fail. (SUB: You're better off not worrying about it. You'll be fine as long as you don't fail.)

Lion: I will not fail! (SUB: Wh-What's a fail?)

Mahiro: A score below 60%. (SUB: Below 40%.)

[''Lion makes a stressed face and a tear is on her eye. She begins to lay on the desk again.'']

Yayoi: Well, it's my fault for not telling her about the test sooner. (SUB: I don't think that helped. I should have told her about the tests.)

Karen: It was out of our hands, Mistress.

[Flashback on the previous episode where Lion falls unconscious in the pool.]

Karin: Don't forget, she was out like a light last night after the hot bath. And it's not like she really could've done anything with only one night to study. (SUB: After all, Lion was out like a light yesterday after that bath. In any event, she could have done anything with only one night.)

Mahiro: She could've crammed with me. (SUB: She could have had an all-night cram session.)

Yayoi: You shouldn't get into the habit of bullying all-nighters. A good student needs to study a little every day. (SUB: You'd be better off not getting into that habit. You have to study a little bit every day!)

[Lion's stomach starts growling.]

Karen: Lion, what are you doing for lunch?

Lion: I'm gonna buy food! [She walks off.] (SUB: I'm going to buy some food!)

[''Nina is seen behind the desk reading her book and the scene zooms up on her. The scene transitions to Lion with Belle on her shoulder walking at the garden. Lion sighs and the flashback shows her the circled eyed Lion who is nervous about the test.'']

Lion: I barely knew any of this stuff on that test! (SUB: I did try to put some kind of answer down though.)

[She immediately bumps into Yuko.]

Yuko: Pardon me. (SUB: Goodness gracious.)

Lion: Huh? Hi, Yuko. (SUB: Yuko-senpai.)

Yuko: What's going on? You look sad. [Lion sighs.] Now, dear. Why so gloomy? (SUB: What's the matter, Lion-chan? You don't look at all happy.)

Lion: Is it obvious? (SUB: You can tell?)

Yuko: It is. And I'm happy to listen if you liked to talk. (SUB: Of course. If something's the matter, I'm happy to listen.)

[''Lion puts her face on Yuko's breasts. She rubs it and sobs.'']

Lion: (SUB: Senpai!)

Yuko: Goodness gracious.

[Principal is nearby the bushes playing her harp and the students are eating lunch.]

Yuko: [offscreen] So, you're worried about how you scored on the midterm sun? (SUB: Oh? So you're worried about your scores on your tests?)

Mizuki: First years are so innocent. But, whatever the case may be, a of Yuko's pillowy parts belong to me and me alone. You got that, girly? (SUB: First years are so innocent. In any event, Lion-kun, Yuko's pillowy parts all belong to me.)

Yuko: Mizuki.

Mizuki: But, she's cuddling you. (SUB: But...)

Yuko: Lion, please don't believe a single word of that nonsense, okay? (SUB: Lion-chan, you don't have to listen to anything she has to say.)

Mizuki: Oh!

[Belle is seen eating kibbles.]

Yuko: [offscreen] Say "ah". (SUB: Say aah!)

[''Yuko gives Lion a cracker. Lion opens wide and she bites it.'']

Lion: Yummy! (SUB: Delicious!)

[Mizuki makes a frustrated face about Yuko loving Lion.]

Yuko: Aw, you look much cuter when you smile. (SUB: A smile suits you best.)

Lion: [giggles]

[''Mizuki pokes Lion a few times. Lion's eyes become Xs.'']

Lion: Ow!

Mizuki: Oink for me, little piggy. (SUB: Oink for me!)

Lion: Oink, oink. (SUB: Oink!)

Mizuki: That's right. Good girl. I like the obedient one. (SUB: Very good. I like girls who are obedient.)

Yuko: Leave her alone. (SUB: Come now, Mizuki.)

Mizuki: Hmph. Whatevs. (SUB: Hmph.)

Aoi: I know you're joking, but a student council president shouldn't be teasing the first year. (SUB: Even if you're joking, you're the student council president, so you shouldn't be teasing a first year.)

Lion: You're the president? (SUB: You're the student council president?)

[Cuts to Mizuki in a pink, sparkly background.]

Mizuki: Sure am. Which makes me the most important student at the school. Bow down to me. (SUB: That's right. Amongst all the students, I'm the most important. Revere me.)

Lion: Ahh.

Yuko: Seriously? (SUB: Mizuki.)

[Mizuki sweats.]

Mizuki: [offscreen] So, we all hold positions. I'm the student council president. Yuko's vice president. Aoi's the treasurer. And that's Ashley, the secretary. (SUB: So I'm the student council president. Yuko is the vice president. Aoi over there is the treasurer. Next to her is Ashley, the secretary.)

Aoi: With pleasure. (SUB: Pleased to meet you.)

Ashley: Pleased to meet you.

Mizuki: [offscreen] Both of them are transfer students. (SUB: They're both transfers.)

Lion: What's that mean? (SUB: Transfers?)

Mizuki: You really don't know? They're both Logicalists at active duty. Since we're at peace, they came here. (SUB: You've never heard of them? They're Logicalists in active duty who transferred into our school because it's so peaceful now.)

Aoi: I personally see my time at the school is a great opportunity to retrain myself. (SUB: Personally, I think of being here as an opportunity to retrain myself.)

Ashley: The library here makes me so happy. It's amazing how many books and documents from other worlds they have. (SUB: There are lots of books here and documents from other worlds. It makes me very happy.)

Mizuki: Yes. We're all grateful for this world of peace. (SUB: In other words, peace has given us a lot to be grateful for.)

Yuko: It's their evenly finally time to relax over for some afternoon tea. (SUB: It lets us all relax like tea what we're doing right now.)

Lion: Huh?

Yuko: Something wrong? (SUB: What's the matter?)

[Cut to Nina reading her book behind the tree.]

Lion: [offscreen] Nina's the one. (SUB: Nina-chan...)

Yuko: [offscreen] Right. She's a transfer student as well. (SUB: Right. Nina-chan's a transfer too.)

Lion: I was thinking...it'd be nice if Nina liked to hear too. But she doesn't. (SUB: I was thinking it'd be nice if Nina-chan also enjoyed being here.)

Yuko: I agree. (SUB: I think so too.)

[''The eyecatch shows that Mizuki noticed Belle ate all of the cookies. Cuts outside the stadium.'']

Rino: [offscreen] Today, we're doing a mock battle. Lion, I just want you watching for the time being. (SUB: Today, we'll be doing a mock battle. Lion-san, you'll start by watching.)

Lion: Okay. (SUB: Okay!)

[''As the battle begins, a technology screen rises up and shows Nina and Yayoi's Foreigner Card health. Yayoi starts her transformation.'']

Yayoi: Qipao! Shall we begin? (SUB: All right, let's do this! Qipao!)

[Yayoi trances with Qipao.]

Qipao: What will I do with you? Now, try your best! (SUB: What will I do with you? Now do your best.)

Lion: Oh, wow!

Yayoi: How is that? Did you enjoy watching me Trance with Qipao? (SUB: How do you like my Trance with Qipao?)

Lion: It was awesome! (SUB: It's so cool!)

Yayoi: [giggles] But, of course it was. (SUB: But of course it is!)

[Nina begins her transformation.]

Nina: Amora, lend me your strength! (SUB: Lend me you strength, Amor.)

Amora: Sure! As long as I can be with you. (SUB: Sure. As long as I can be with you.)

[Nina trances with Amora.]

Rino: Mock battle begin! (SUB: Mock battle start!)

[''Yayoi does a battle cry as she slams her staff into the ground. Nina fires arrows at Yayoi.'']

Lion: Look out!

[''Yayoi uses her staff to shield Nina's arrows. The gem breaks on her sock.'']

Lion: She's not hurt? (SUB: Huh?)

Rino: Yes, of course. There's no way anyone can get hurt fighting in this environment. (SUB: It's okay. There's no way any of you could get hurt doing this.)

[''Yayoi rushes forward to Nina and smashes her staff at her. Nina leaps back on the ground. Yayoi is eager to see Nina's strength.'']

Rino: [offscreen] Whoever removes their ppponent shield first, wins. I'm curious. Do you know why we carry out these mock battles? (SUB: Whoever removes their opponent's six defensive shields first wins. Do you know why we carry out these mock battles?)

Lion: To help us get stronger? (SUB: To get stronger?)

Rino: So, you'll understand your own powers. With these abilities, you can easily hurt people by destroying things. If you don't understand how to control yourself. Despite that, the majority of countries still allow Logicalists and Foreigners to move about freely. Without any restriction on their trances. And why do you think that's the case? (SUB: To understand your own powers better. With the powers you all posses, if you put your mind to it, you could easily hurt others or destroy anything you wanted to. Despite that, in the majority of countries, Logicalists and Foreigners have the right to move about freely, with no restrictions on the use of their trance. Why do you think that's the case?)

Lion: Hmm, because they're good and respectable people? (SUB: Because they're all good people?)

[Yayoi continues attacking Nina with her staff.]

Rino: It could be close. But the answer is because Logicalists fought against the bad Foreigners. And preserved peace for everyone. (SUB: Close. The answer is because Logicalists fought against the bad Foreigners, and preserved peace for everyone.)

Lion: Ohh.

Rino: Many of you seniors in good Foreigners have worked hard to build a relationship with trust. Lion, I hope you'll help protect them. (SUB: Many of your senpais and good Foreigners have built a relationship with trust. Lion-san, I hope that you will help to protect that trust.)

Lion: I will!

[''Yayoi screams as she is attacked by Nina. And the eyecatch shows that Nina won and Yayoi is defeated. The screen reads "The Game's Over!" and it fades. Cut to Yayoi in the seat, as Karin and Karen are helped healing her.'']

Lion: [offscreen] Ms. Fujisaki, are you going to trance today? (SUB: Miss Ricchan, you're not going to Trance?)

Rino: [offscreen] There isn't a reason why I should. (SUB: I've no reason to today, do I?)

Lion: Aww. I really wanted to see that. (SUB: Aww, I wanted to see it.)

Ms. Kagura: [offscreen] Cut it out. Try not to push your teachers around too much. (SUB: Come on. Try not to push your elders around too much.)

Lion: I wasn't trying to. (SUB: Miss Kagura!)

Mahiro: It's a fact that the Logicalists' power has gradually start fading away once we turn 20. And the statistics suggest that it becomes nearly impossible for someone to trance once they hit 30. So, she would... (SUB: Logicalists' powers gradually fade away once you hit 20. The statistics suggest that it becomes quite difficult to Trance once you hit around 30. So Ricchan...)

[Rino is enraged with purple flames and a yellow beam of light began to glow on her, leaving the others shocked.]

Rino: What was that, Mahiro? I can still trance. What do I easily think you very much...?! (SUB: Mahiro-san? I can still quite easily Trance.)

Ms. Kagura: Calm down, Fujisaki. [Rino sobs] Lion, let's go. We're ready for you. Time to start your covenant. (SUB: Calm down, Fujisaki. Lion, let's go. We're ready now. Let's start your contract.)

[Cuts inside a technology room.]

Ms. Kagura: [Over P.A.] All right, can you hear me? (SUB: Lion, can you hear me?)

Lion: Uh-huh. (SUB: Yes.)

Ms. Kagura: Take out your card.

[Lion presses the button on a card box to take out the Foreigner Card.]

Ms. Kagura: Foreigner Cards can connect our world to others. They open up the gates so we can call Foreigners over to Septpia. And that gives us access to trance with each other. Now, we're going to register the Foreigner you'll connect it with to that card. Her name is Rosa. (SUB: Foreigner Cards connect our world, Septpia, to other worlds. They can open up a gate and call Foreigners to our world. We're going to register the Foreigner you're contacted to that card now. Her name is Rosa.)

Lion: Who's Rosa? (SUB: Rosa.)

Ms. Kagura: Yours is a rather unique situation. Apparently, you made the covenant with her when you were around 2 years old. (SUB: You're a pretty special case. Apparently you made a contract with her when you were around 2 years old.)

[''A lot of Foreigner Cards form a database. And it tries to match Lion's covenant.'']

Ms. Kagura: This is our database. We research Foreigners' abilites and dispositions here. It one can be apply for a covenant. Once a covenant's made, you can't apply for another. If one Logic doesn't fit, it's refused. [thinking] Normally, finding a covenanter is difficult. And it's the biggest barrier for most Logicalists. Process not registered, is she? Lion, look at your card. Try calling her. (SUB: This is ALCA's database. Here, we research Foreigner's abilities and dispositions. One can also apply for a contract here. Those who have already a contract, can't apply for another, and if one's Logic doesn't fit the contract, it will be refused. Normally, finding a contractor is the biggest barrier for a Logicalist. So Rosa's not registered, huh? Lion, look at your card and try calling her.)

Lion: Um, Rosa? [No avail.] (SUB: Rosa.)

Ms. Kagura: You have to be more forceful. Call from the heart. You must truly wish you covenanter to answer. (SUB: Be more forceful. Call from your heart. Your contractor will absolutely answer your call.)

Lion: Hey, Rosa...Rosa! (SUB: Rosa. Rosa.)

[''The Foreigner Card glows and it shows a garden place, where a young Lion is crying. It then shows the day and night opposites where Lion meets with Rosa.'']

Lion: So, you were that woman on the beach? (SUB: So the woman back then was you?)

Rosa: Your cries echoed far and they still do. I hear them. In my heart. (SUB: Your cries echo far. They echo here, as well.)

Lion: Rosa, will you please let me borrow your strength? Pretty please? I want nothing more than to stay with Nina! And with all the new friends I met at school. (SUB: Please, lend me your strength. Please! I want to stay with Nina-chan. With my friends.)

Rosa: Did you really make friends? (SUB: Did you make friends?)

Lion: Yeah! (SUB: Yeah.)

Rosa: Good. Be careful, my darling. (SUB: I see. Don't hurt yourself now.)

[''In the transformation scene, Foreigner Cards surround Lion while the Foreigner Card glows in the middle. She grabs it and the magic bubble explodes.'']

Lion: Gate Access! Monolium!

[''A star forms a symbol of Monolium, which is a green star. Rosa and Lion are seen at the day and night beach.'']

Lion: Rosa! (SUB: I'm counting on you, Rosa.)

Rosa: Lion. Whatever your heart desires. (SUB: Lion, as long as you wish it.)

[''Rosa puts a rose on Lion's chest. Lion's clothes glow and sprouts out rose petals. Rosa forms Lion a rose headband. Lion's staff appears and it forms her a shirt, ballet-like shoes, and gloves as Rosa's soul transports into her body. Lion does a fashionable pose, she grabs her staff and swings it a few times, then finally does a pose.'']

Lion: I did it! My covenant with Rosa is all wrapped up! (SUB: Miss Kagura! I formed the contract!)

Ms. Kagura: I see. Nice. Well, I suppose you'll need to practice for while now. (SUB: You did, huh? Well, I suppose you'll need to practice for a while.)

Lion: I do! (SUB: Of course!)

[''Belle sighs. The title reads "Episode 2: Transforming is Not Mastered in a Day" until it changes to "Rice Balls Over Flowers". Cuts inside the classroom.'']

Ms. Kagura: Now that I'm done grading your mathematic midterm, I'll be passing out the results. (SUB: Now then, I'm going to hand out your results for the mathematics midterm.)

[''The class gets their tests back. Pan to Lion's test. She has scored 15%. She collapses with despair. Mahiro then looks at her test.'']

Ms. Kagura: This grade was 70. I suppose that's fine. (SUB: The average was 70%. I suppose that's okay.)

[Karin and Karen have their tests, except Yayoi, who's crossing her arms.]

Ms. Kagura: Yayoi had a perfect score. And so did...Nina. You really knew all your materials.(SUB: The students who got perfect scores were Yayoi and...Nina. You did a good job studying.)

[''Cuts at a dark city. An evil Foreigner is nearby and a silhouetted Nina in her Tranceunion form attacks it as it shatters into crystals.'']

Veronica: [offscreen] Nina Alexandrovna.

[The scene shows inside the building where Veronica Anako from the 2016 anime Luck & Logic and Nina in her 2016 Logicalist outfit are having a conversation.]

Veronica: As of today, you're being reassigned into the Logicalist school Pirari Academy. With your age in mind, your actual enrollment will begin this spring. Of course, your experience secures you a spot in the S class. (SUB: As of today, you will be assigned to the Logicalist school Pirari Academy. Taking your age into account, your actual enrollment will begin this spring. Of course, you need not take the entrance exam, and will transfer into the S class.)

Nina: I don't understand. I've already mastered all the fundamental subjects. (SUB: Bureau Chief Veronica, I've finished studying all the fundamental subjects.)

Veronica: Indeed. I'm well aware that you have the academic capabilities of a university graduate. And an even secured contracts with multiple Foreigners. (SUB: Indeed. I understand that you have the academic capabilities of a university graduate and are a Logicalist with several contractors.)

Nina: And why? What's the point of sending me to a Logicalist training camp when I already know everything? (SUB: Then why? Why do I have to go to a Logicalist training academy?)

Veronica: Because there's something that you do not know. (SUB: Because there's something you need to learn.)

Nina: What's that? Tell me. (SUB: What... could that be?)

Veronica: You need to understand...you're still young. (SUB: You're still young. I want you to understand that.)

Nina: I'd appreciate a more logical answer. Are you just trying to incinerate that I'm too weak? (SUB: I'd appreciate a more logical answer. Are you trying to tell me that I'm weak?)

Veronica: In a certain way, yes. (SUB: In a way, yes.)

Nina: Understood, Chief. (SUB: Understood.)

[Nina turns away.]

Nina: However, I'm still not convinced. But, I have undeniably proven myself strength to you. I'd like to return to my previous mission. (SUB: However, I am not convinced. When I have proven my strength, I will apply to be reinstated to my previous mission.)

[Nina walks into the elevator.]

Lion: [offscreen] Hey, Nina. Nina? (SUB: Nina-chan? Nina-chan?)

[Nina gasps as she realizes it was a dream.]

Lion: What's the matter?

Nina: It's nothing, really. (SUB: It's nothing.)

Lion: We're seeing cherry blossoms. Do you wanna come with us? (SUB: Hey Nina-chan, let's go cherry blossom viewing.)

Nina: I don't know. Haven't the petals already fallen off by now? (SUB: Cherry blossoms? Haven't the petals all fallen by now?)

Mahiro: Not all of 'em. There's some late blooming ones. (SUB: There's still some late blooming cherry blossom trees left.)

Lion: We're in luck! Mahiro grew up in this area and knows exactly where to find them. (SUB: Apparently Mahiro-chan grew up around here, so she knows all about it.)

Yayoi: Are you ladies going out to the shrine in the mountains? (SUB: Oh, are you going to the shrine up in the mountains?)

Mahiro: Mm-hmm. Lion told me she's never seen a cherry blossom and bloom before, I gotta change that. We're gonna hike up there this Saturday. It'd be nice if you came along with us. (SUB: Yeah, Lion said she'd never seen cherry blossoms before, so I'm taking her. How about you, Yacchan? We're going this Saturday.)

Yayoi: I have some important business meetings at the Tachibana household. (SUB: I have buisness to attend to at the Tachibana household.)

Lion: Oh, really? So, you're going home this weekend? (SUB: Yayoi-chan, you're going back home?)

Yayoi: I am. My house isn't far from the academy, so I can easily make it there and back in one day. (SUB: Yes. My house is close to the academy, so I can be there and back in a day.)

Karin: Allow me to explain.

Lion & Belle: Huh?

Karin: [narrating] The renowned Tachibana family storied history goes back over a thousand years. (SUB: The Tachibana family is a renowned family with a storied history that goes back over a thousand years.)

Karen: [also narrating] But, they weren't aristocrats or anything. They were amazing merchants with lots enough of money! (SUB: But they aren't aristocrats or anything. They were amazing merchants, and they have lots and lots of money!)

Karin: That's right. And now, the Tachibana family is a worldwide financial conglomerate. With 100 branch offices. (SUB: That's right. Presently, the Tachibana family is a worldwide financial conglomerate with 100 branch offices.)

Karen: Their HQ is located right here in Obihiro. (SUB: Our HQ is right here, in Obihiro.)

Yayoi: In order to cooperate with the founding of Pirari Academy, my great-great grandfather decided to move himself and the buisness here. (SUB: In order to cooperate with the founding of Pirari Academy, my great, great grandfather moved here.)

Lion: Wow.

Yayoi: Our family motto's always been "Any profits made from trade should be used to enrich people everywhere." "Beacuse the richer the world gets, the more we have to gain." (SUB: Our family motto is, "Any profits from trade should be used on people everywhere." "The more rich the world gets, the more profit there is to gain.")

Karin: Our family has protected the Tachibanas for generations. Which is why we accompany our mistress wherever she goes. (SUB: The Kiritani family has protected the Tachibanas for generations. So of course we accompany her everywhere.)

Karen: If someone tries to mess with her, they're gonna have to deal with us! (SUB: We're the ones who protect our mistress!)

Lion: I had no idea you're family was so amazing. (SUB: Yayoi-chan, you're amazing.)

Yayoi: How about that? My family being praised by a princess. (SUB: I don't know how to take that, coming from a princess.)

Mahiro: Hey, Karin and Karen, do you wanna see the cherry blossoms with us? (SUB: Rin-chan, Ren-chan, will you come see cherry blossoms with us?)

Karin: We won't be able to join you. Duty requires us to accompany our mistress home. Sorry, but you'll have to join the flowers without us. (SUB: I'm very sorry to say we will be staying at our mistress's side, so you three will have to enjoy the flowers without us.)

Lion: [grunts with effort] Well, that's okay. The three of us can go together. (SUB: Okay. Mahiro-chan, Nina-chan, let's go together.)

Mahiro: Sounds like a plan! (SUB: Got it!)

Nina: Huh?

[''Cuts at Shirakaba Dormitory. Nina is in the bath, staring at the water.'']

Nina: I never agreed to go with them. (SUB: But I never said I'd go.)

[Nina looks up at the night sky.]

Nina: [thinking] Is this how I prove my strength to Veronica? (SUB: I have to prove my strength. But how?)

[Yuko arrives.]

Yuko: Oh, my. It's Nina. Good evening. Do you mind if I hop in there, too? (SUB: Goodness, it's Nina-chan. Good evening. Do you mind if I join you?)

Nina: Please do. (SUB: Please.)

[''Cuts to the pipe running water. Nina stands up and sits next to Yuko, who also joins in the bath. She watches Yuko and stares at her breasts. Nina hides underwater.'']

Yuko: I heard you're going with Lion to see the cherry blossoms Saturday. (SUB: You're going with Lion-chan to see the cherry blossoms, aren't you?)

Nina: Maybe. (SUB: I'm...)

Yuko: You should go and have some fun for once. I'll be sure to make a delicious lunch just for you. [giggles] (SUB: Why not? It should be fun for a change. I'll be sure to make you a delicious lunch.)

[''Nina feels unsure if she has to go. Fade to black. Cuts outside Pirari Academy. The girls are ready for their hiking.'']

Lion: That is so sweet! You didn't have to do that. (SUB: Yuko-senpai, thank you very much!)

Yuko: It's nothing. I'm happy the weather looks so good for your hike. (SUB: It was nothing. I'm happy that the weather looks so good.)

Lion: Yeah!

Yuko: Be safe and don't go off the trail.(SUB: Have a safe trip.)

Lion: Sure! (SUB: Okay!)

Mahiro: We'll be back soon. (SUB: We'll be back.)

Yuko: Nina, let loose and have some fun. (SUB: Nina-chan, have fun.)

Nina: I won't be gone that long. (SUB: I'll be back.)

[''Pan to the pine trees. Lion, Nina, and Mahiro are walking up the hills.'']

Nina: So, is there really a shrine all the way up here? (SUB: So there's a shrine all the way up here?)

Mahiro: Yeah, it's a small little place that doesn't get a whole lot of visitors. The patron god of the area has a shrine closer to Pirari Town. (SUB: It's a small little place that nobody usually goes to. The patron god of the area is enshrined elsewhere, towards Pirari Town.)

[Mahiro's tracker zooms on a green circle.]

Mahiro: [gasps] Look at this reaction! Watch out. Something's close. (SUB: Look at this reaction. There's got to be something close by!)

[Lion and Nina back away from Mahiro, thinking her tracker might explode again.]

Mahiro: Come on, guys. It's not like my gadgets really blow up that often. (SUB: Come on, it's not like my stuff blows up all the time!)

[Belle squeaks.]

Lion: Belle thinks your stuff is dangerous, too. (SUB: Belle says it's dangerous, too.)

Nina: With her tracker, she's due for an explosion today. (SUB: But she hasn't had anything blow up yet today.)

[Mahiro's tracker lights up.]

Mahiro: It's headed right for us! And the Paradox Level is...pretty freakin' high! (SUB: Here it comes! Here it comes! The Paradox Level is...pretty high!)

Lion: What? Really? I hope it's friendly! (SUB: What? What kind is it? Is it an amazing Foreigner?)

[''Mahiro's tracker explodes. The eyecatch shows the three girls and Belle's hairs all poofy.'']

Mahiro: I knew it.

[Lion picks a blue fruit in the bush.]

Lion: These are safe to eat. (SUB: You can eat these.)

[''Lion eats the fruit. Nina and Mahiro seem amused. It then shows Mahiro fixing her tracker, Nina staring back, Belle watching the river streams, and Lion having fun with Belle on her shoulder. Lion is dancing around.'']

Mahiro: She dances well. (SUB: She's good.)

Nina: She does. (SUB: She is.)

[Nina spots a fox licking in the river.]

Nina: So fluffy.

[''The fox hides in the bush. The three girls and Belle finally arrive at the cherry blossom tree.'']

Nina: Beautiful. (SUB: So pretty.)

[The picnic is set up.]

Lion: This is so much fun! (SUB: Now this is a cherry blossom viewing!)

Mahiro: And the flowers are pretty. But this lunch is beautiful! (SUB: First off...It's gotta be rice balls over flowers!)

Lion: What is that?

Mahiro: I asked Yuko to roll up my favorite foods in the one rice ball. [Eats rice ball] Everything she makes is good, but she really undid it herself this time! You wanna try a bite of this yumminess? (SUB: It's a plain to eat it bit by bit, so I asked Yuko-senpai to pull it all in one! She's really an amazing cook! Want to try a bite?)

Nina: No, she made a lunch for me, too. (SUB: No. I've got my own.)

[Nina opens her lunch.]

Nina: So cute.

[''It is sunset. Lion, Mahiro, and Nina are sleeping.'']

Nina: [thinking] I can't move. What a waste at Saturday. I had planned on studying and working on my battle tactics. (SUB: I-I can't move. Today I was supposed to do some training and study battle tactics.)

[''The wind blows. Nina sees Lion sleeping like a dog.'']

Nina: She's kind of like a dog. I guess doing this kind of thing every so often...wasn't too bad. (SUB: She's kind of like a dog. Every so often, as long as it's not too often, this kind of thing might be good for a change.)

[''Belle hears footsteps. Ms. Kagura sees the three girls sleeping under the tree. She lowers her head and the sun sets. It is now nighttime. Ms. Kagura drinks Sake.'']

Ms. Kagura: This year should be fun. All my students are interesting. (SUB: I've got nothing but interesting students this year.)

[''The end credits play. Cuts inside the Japanese restaurant.'']

Rino: She's always either sleeping or drinking on her time off. But, today she tells me she's got other plans. (SUB: She always spends her time off just sleeping or drinking. But today of all days, she tells me she's busy?)

Kozue: [chuckles] It can get pretty lonely when your drinking partner bails on you. Tell me about it. (SUB: It gets pretty lonely when your usual partner is missing, doesn't it?)

Rino: But, she didn't cancel on me until after I'd already bought her a drink. (SUB: It does! And here I went out of my way to set aside the alcohol she likes.)

Kozue: So, what's her excuse for not coming today? (SUB: So what's she busy with?)

Rino: [Turns white in shock] She's out on a date. (SUB: She's on a date.)

[The TV shows the preview of episode 3.]

Rino: [sobs] I'm just gonna drink it all myself! (SUB: I'm just going to drink it all!)

Kozue: You know what kind of guy she's out with? (SUB: Wh-Wh-What kind of person is he?)

Rino: A smart and sexy dreamboat? And he's so sweet to her, they get along so well that there's no room for me anymore! (SUB: Sharp-eyed and sexy? But he's sweet when it comes to her, and it's like they get along so well there's no room for me.)

Kozue: Is he rich? How tall is he? (SUB: How tall is he? How much does he make?)

Rino: Well, he's taller than her and I don't know what he does for a living, but it seems like he might be lonely! (SUB: He's taller than her. I really don't know how much he makes, but he seems like he might be rich.)

Kozue: Sounds like a catch! I'd really like to meet him. If possible, we should set up a mixer! (SUB: I'd really like to meet him! If possible, a mixer would be great!)

[Belle growls and the episode ends.]
