AO and TC Subs presents:
Timing: Wilczur Script: Tohno OP: Haruto QC: bumbaloe, & Prokyon
The Pep Rally.
Getting a little faster won't be enough for you to beat me!
I will win!
Verrill Shot Launcher: Tornado Typhoon Cyclone Slash!
That was too easy.
You're awesome, Gourai-kai! Now finish her off, Gourai-kai!
"-kai" denotes a revised model.
Well done, Gourai-kai. This upgrade of yours has its benefits.
Gourai-kai! This has been a splendid first battle! Well done, Gourai-kai!
And I did all the assembly. Pretty awesome, right?
I did it all by myself, without Bukiko's-
Hooray, hooray, Gourai-kai! Do your best, Gourai-kai!
Gourai-kai can win this.
Please win, Gourai-kai.
Hey, listen to me! I put in a lot of work! HEY!
Go, go, Gourai-kai! Go, go, Gourai-kai!
Dammit!
So fast!
Go, go, Gourai-kai! Go, go, Gourai-kai!
Damn... it!
This is the end!
Winner: Gourai.
Architect! Are you all right?
Copy Mode. Code: Hresvelgr. Complete.
It was a sound victory, Gourai.
Thank you, Architect.
Mission complete.
Great work!
Thanks to your data, I was able to battle a virtual Hresvelgr.
I'm grateful.
It was nothing.
And your new armor is perfect!
Yes. I'm extremely pleased with the finished product. Thank you, Ao.
And thanks to all of your help, next time I will beat her!
I suggest we hold a talent show, to show support for the rematch that is to come!
Ooh, that would be great. Like a pep rally!
Let's all support her!
Yeah!
Okay, let's get things underway.
It's the "Go, Go, Gourai-kai Pep Rally"!
And I, Baselard, shall be your MC.
Well, let's kick things off with Program No. 1...
The Ninja Show of Ninjas.
From Jinrai, it's "The Ninja Show of Ninjas"
Where is the enemy?!
I've found you, you wretched fiend!
Huh? Me?
Get over here!
What does this mean?
The root of all evil lies in that fruit atop your head!
And it is manipulating your heart!
I see.
I shall smite it with no harm being done to you!
Begone!
"A thousand days of training to develop, ten thousand days of training to polish."
Such is how you have devoted yourself.
You are sure to win!
Be as Miyamoto Musashi himself and stir up a powerful gale!
TL note: Musashi Miyamoto was an expert Japanese swordsman and rōnin.
Thank you very much!
F.A. Girl!
And now, moving on to Program No. 2...
From Baselard and Stylet, the "Miracle Magical Illusion Show"!
Miracle Magical Illusion Show.
Clap, clap!
Now then, I shall pierce this box with swords.
Base is in a pinch!
It's quite frightening, isn't it? Will she be all right?
That tickles!
H-hey! Behave yourself!
Okay.
F.A. Girl!
The box has now been pierced with all 10 swords.
Is Baselard okay? I wonder...
Ah! I'm caught on this part here.
Shh! Don't say that!
Very well, Recharger-kun: Come on!
Huh? What do I do next again?
Don't tell me you forgot! You get out, right?
Oh. Yeah, yeah.
Do you even remember how?
Sure, no problem. I've got this!
So, will Baselard be able to get out in one piece?
One, two, three!
Base, are you okay?
Hang on a second...
Ta-daa! The magic totally worked!
Can that even be called...
..."getting out"?
Gourai! Do your best in your revenge match!
I'm sure you can do it!
Thank you very much.
This was Stylet and...
...Baselard, thanks!
F.A. Girl!
Continuing on - it's Architect!
Celebratory song.
Her performance will be a celebratory song.
Learning Mode: Opera. Replay.
That's wonderful!
Analyzing virtual battle data.
In a second bout between Gourai and Hresvelgr, Gourai's chance of victory stands at 99.9999998%.
Per program parameters, this can be viewed as 100%.
Put simply, you are sure to win.
Coming from you certainly makes it sound trustworthy!
It is based on a number of data samples.
You will win, Gourai. Be encouraged.
Thank you very much. I will win!
F.A. Girl!
And now, it's time for Program No. 4, featuring the Materia Sisters.
Their performance is...
Thank you.
I'm Materia White.
I'm Materia Black.
Together, we make Materia Gray.
Are you kidding me?
Say, Black-chan, do you know the "Ten Times Quiz"?
Yes, of course.
Then say "pizza" 10 times.
Did you just give me an order?
When you think of autumn...
...you think of sports.
Black-chan, what would you say is the hardest exercise you've done recently?
I can't say. It's too stimulating.
Go on, just say it.
I rolled over on top of Recharger-kun in my sleep.
I can't contain myself. This is genius!
F.A. Girl!
That's enough already.
Fine, then I shall cease.
Thank you very much.
Splendidly done! Bravo! World class!
What was that just now?
It was definitely hard to process...
Gourai-chan.
Yes?
No matter what condition you find yourself in, you'll be fine so long as you are confident.
And you'll be sure to win.
I've come to think so too. Thank you very much!
F.A. Girl!
Now then, to finish us out, here's our extra-special guest: Gourai's master, Ao!
I wrote a letter to Gourai that I'd like to read.
"Dear Gourai, My life has changed a lot since you showed up.
At first, it was just about collecting battle data for money.
To be honest, it still really helps me out!
Seriously, thank you for coming to my home.
I couldn't be more grateful.
But aside from that, I think of something else...
I'm happy when you win, and I'm sad when you lose.
If your company said they needed data of you losing, I'd do it for the money, of course!
But the truth is, I wouldn't like it.
Incidentally, I was a little concerned when I realized this still doesn't convey how I feel.
We're both girls and we live together.
Doing battles all the time isn't too exciting.
Let's go out more often, and have fun together...
But to do that, we'll need some cash!
That's why you have to beat Hresvelgr.
I'll do my best too.
Basically, keep going, okay?
Do your best, Gourai! Go, go, Gourai!"
And, done!
Ao... thank you so much!
Uh, I'm not so convinced...
That friendship burns bright indeed.
Indeed!
It looks like Ao-chan just whisked her away at the end!
Well, she is Gourai-chan's master after all.
We can forgive her for today.
Finally, there's a special surprise!
I'll play you the trumpet!
I've hid this up till now, but I've been in the Brass Band Club since elementary school.
Oh, really?
Huh. I didn't know you could play an instrument.
Ao, you're so cool! You're the real deal!
Ao-chan is wonderful. That suits her.
I'm tingling with anticipation.
Well, she did put Gourai-kai together, so she's surprisingly good with her hands, huh?
This is truly a case of the eagle having hidden its talons.
Meaning: One with talent or ability does not display such skill lightly.
So then, a hidden talent!
Ao, I'm very happy.
Well, here goes!
Autumn Beckons...
It's totally autumn now, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Oh no.
The "Limited Quantity, First-Come, First Served" special at Inage-ya hasn't started yet,
but I'm already hungry!
Will you be all right?
Kiosk
Let's go get a little snack.
It's so delicious!
Eating dango outside is the best!
Does it taste different when eaten outside the house?
It's the atmosphere, I guess.
Eating it under the sky and with this scenery makes it feel like it tastes different.
I see.
Even though it's the same dango... Intriguing.
Hey, Gourai, you want to go for a walk?
Yes.
But it we don't hurry, won't the special at Inage-ya be over soon?
They have two of them daily.
I'll just change plans and go to the one at night.
We used to take class trips to this park a lot when I as a kid.
Oh, really?
This sure takes me back!
Takes you back...
Let's go on this.
I sure was happy to have some sweet rolled egg in my boxed lunch!
Though, I still can't decide if a banana constitutes a snack or not...
When I was a kid, I used to look forward to the boxed lunches rather than the autumn leaves...
not that I can say I'm any different now.
This area is a mountain of treasures!
A mountain of treasures?
There are all these acorns on the ground, right?
Acorns! They're pretty, aren't they?
When I was a kid, I used to love using acorns to play house.
What does it mean to "play house"?
Oh, you don't know what it is?
How can I explain...?
You decide who'll be the mother and the child, and you pretend to be a family.
A pretend... family?
I want to try!
Huh? For real?
Let's do it! I must!
No, no way.
Why not?
Um, high school students don't normally play house.
Please! I want to know what a family feels like!
Oh, yeah...
Well, when you put it that way, let's give it a shot.
Thank you very much!
Well, I'll play the mom, so you be the child.
Understood.
Gourai-chan! Dinner's ready.
Here you go.
Oh. Sorry for the bother.
Gourai-chan, you're still young but you talk like a grownup, don't you?
Oh! Um... Thank you.
Huh? You said you wanted to do this, but are you blushing?
Ao!
"Ao"?
I'm "Mom"!
M-Mom...
Gourai-chan, say "Ah."
Well, Mom is going to make some pancakes for a snack.
Will you help?
Yes!
It's quite tiring, isn't it? This "playing house."
It was a lot of fun when I was younger.
I'm an only child.
Plus, my parents were always doing things together so I spent a lot of time playing alone.
Really?
I'm glad they always got along so well, but for Mom to go to Dad's work too... that's kinda shocking.
Speaking of, where did your mother and father go?
They're on the ocean!
The ocean?
My dad's the captain of a luxury cruiser that goes all around the world. That's his job.
Oh, yes?
My name, Ao, means "blue" - like the blue ocean.
If you ask me, though, my parents are a bit "off."
Since way back, they've always brought me masks and weird souvenirs from around the world.
Now, though, I flat-out refuse!
We used to come here sometimes,
but they were the ones who ran around acting like kids.
Still, it was fun.
Is that what mothers and fathers are like?
No, I think mine are a little different.
I'd like to meet them sometime, your mother and father.
Oh, yeah. I wonder what they'd say if they saw you.
Let's play!
Huh? Who are you?
Hi! I'm Guriko!
Guriko?
I'm Gourai.
I want to play house too!
Okay, Gourai, it's dinnertime!
Dinner again?
Is it good?
Yes. It's delicious, Mom.
You're a good little girl, Gourai.
I've come to learn that playing house tends to follow a pattern.
You may be right.
Now it's time for your bath.
Bath?
It's an acorn bath!
A bath...
I've never experienced one before.
Let alone an acorn bath.
Shake, shake! Shake, shake!
I feel dizzy.
Shake, shake!
"Shake, shake"?
Shake, shake.
Guriko-chan, you'll make Udolla dizzy if you keep shaking him like that.
Ao?
Guriko-san!
Let's chase her!
Okay!
Over here!
What are you doing, Guriko-san?
Oh, yeah. I've been here...
I knew it.
What is this?
It's called a time capsule.
You put your treasured belongings in there, then dig it up a few years later.
Why would you do such a thing?
Why? Well...
so you can reminisce, I guess.
Reminisce... Is that it?
These bring back memories! I loved all of these!
Look: This weird thing was a souvenir from my dad.
So you loved it, yes?
Uh, I think I put it in here because I didn't want it around...
There are several acorns in here too.
That doll...
Come to think of it, where is Guriko-san?
Oh. I'd totally forgotten.
Maybe we should bury this again, in the same spot.
Add some of the acorns you collected today too.
That way, next time we dig it up, it will bring memories for you too, right?
Ao... that makes me happy.
I look forward to that day.
I feel like I've understood what it means to "reminisce," if even a little.
When it's autumn again, next year and the year after, I'm sure I'll remember this day.
Then, when a few years have passed, I think I'll say "This takes me back!" just like you.
Yeah. I look forward to it too!
Oh no! Inage-ya's "Limited Quantity, First-Come, First Served" super dinner special is gonna start!
We have to hurry!
Okay!
I am Materia White.
And I am Materia Black.
Together, we make Materia Zebra.
Are you kidding me?
Still, now that autumn is in full swing, what would you say is the taste of autumn?
Let's see... matsutake mushroom, perhaps.
My, how folksy.
I would now like to reveal a hidden talent: Ta-daa!
There's nothing "hidden" about that at all.
Ao and Gourai are late, huh?
Until they get back, this is going to keep going.
Unable to compute.
It's time for us to play "grown-up house."
Jinrai-chan could be either the mommy or the daddy.
And sometimes, the pet we give food to...
"Ah, I'll Catch a Cold"
"Together Again Tomorrow"
Next time, on Frame Arms Girl: let's have another session together.
I don't quite understand, but agreed!
