01x12 - Fly

[bunniefuu]

Hello! Would you like some takoyaki?

Could I get two orders of the Tamon-kun
hair color mentai mayo takoyaki?

Sure thing.

I'm keeping my cool thanks to all the XP
from all the crazy events so far, but...

F/ACE is coming here.

My oshi is going to be at my school.

I've imagined this 60 billion times!

It's finally coming to life?!

You're so impressive, Kinoshita-san!

Hey!! It's just like sweeet magic!! Aha!

Hi, it's me!
The one with that k*ller smile!

Stealing your gaze with a shocking style!

Smooth as ever, I escort you

And this voice, seducing you

Ah, come on, let's dance;
I'm aiming straight for your heart

I am your ace darlin'

Confidence? Yeah, I've got plenty

Please Please

Whisper just to me, call my name

You're too popular,
it drives me crazy and I'm not okay

But I'm sorry, losing's not my thing

Hey, girl

Look this way!

I see your smile, smile, smile,
I wanna make it all mine

Crash, crash, crash,
our special connection shines

Dance, dance,
our world is non-stop groovin'

I'll show you my perfect
A-side, side, side

And my private B-side, side, side;
I'll show you everything

So take my hand and let's roll

Sweet Sweet Sweet magic!!

Sweetie honey Sweetie honey

Sweetie honey Sweetie honey

It's a spell that makes your heart race

We can't go back

You're falling in love with me, c'mon!

Sweetie honey

Sweet Sweet Sweet magic!!

Ready to dive into
recklessness - F/ACE OFF!

Face the tainted justice F/ACE to FACE!

My school is a huge gathering place
for F/ACE faithfuls.

This is inevitably going
to be a huge party!

Kinoshita-san, isn't it time
for your break soon?

Okay!

I'll leave the rest to you guys, then.

Riko and Yuina went to
help out their clubs.

Oh, well. I guess
I'll go around by myself.

S-So this is the cultural festival
I've heard about in legends.

There's such a dense normie aura.

I'm terrified, but I just can't look away.

Gloomyhara-san!

Oh, I'm sorry for being so creepy.

- You mean, "Sorry for being so hot"?

- Mom, there's some weirdo.

- Shh! Don't look at him!

- I'm sorry. Um, er, your uniform... um...

- Aw...

Heeeeeeeeeeeh.

You don't look too bad

in your uniform.

That voice. Saka—Goriguchi-san?

I'm surprised you noticed.
I guess I just can't conceal my aura.

Well, yes.

Ouri-kun... The gorilla
is wearing a gorilla mask.

I'm bored, so show me around
the cultural festival.

Show me around... around...

You're bored? Should you two
even be here right now?

Don't you have preparations to do?

There's still time,
so don't worry about that.

What the heck is that?

- Maybe they're promoting a haunted house.

- Kappa. Kappa. Kappa.

What's even going on?!

I just hope no one realizes who they are!

Oh, Utage. You came.

The person behind you is your friend
from middle school, right?

Who's the other one?

- Er, Friend from Middle School #2.

- Ook.

I see. Nice to meet you,
Friend from Middle School #2.

Have fun looking around!

They were having so much fun
that I also ended up having fun!

Are you okay?

I'm sorry. Are you okay, Kinoshita-san?

I'm totally fine.

That's dangerous, so please stop!

You two have never been
to a cultural festival before?!

Well, I haven't been to middle school
or high school much because of work.

At my middle school, there was only
one cultural fair every three years,

and I happened to do the stupidest thing
and caught a cold on that one day.

That's very unfortunate.

I did my audition right
when I started high school,

and then I got really busy,

so I didn't get to go
in high school either.

That's why I'm really happy today.

Interacting with fans who don't realize
that we're F/ACE is so new and refreshing.

Right?

I want to protect this space.

In the future, I want to become the
atmosphere and just circle this area.

Ah.

That's Keito-kun over there.

His milk carton trash bin he has
at his place is the same shape,

so I'm certain of it.

Wait!

You mean each member of F/ACE
is here incognito?

He's got milk cartons on his head!

You seem to be quite amused,
but you're pretty lol yourself, Gorilla.

I want to breathe F/ACE's faces.

Right?

Tachibana-san went to this school,

so I'm sure he's feeling
nostalgic walking around.

Flour is, like, 10 yen?

The octopus, eggs, sauce, mayo for one
serving would be right around 100 yen.

Charging 500 yen for this is robbery.

I'd save more than 300 yen if I made this
at home, even with the energy overhead.

He was just being nitpicky.

Hello.

Oh, it's you lot.

Wanna eat with us? I'll let you join us.

No. We'd stand out if we were in a group.

Here, take this towel.

And stop spilling everywhere.

So jealous...

I wasn't surprised to learn that
you went to this school, too.

I also did a lot of part-time work.

It's nice that we're allowed to work!

Tachibana-san, the nearby café
that you used to work at...

It's become a place of
pilgrimage for your fans.

I see.

I did work there the longest.

It's fine that they go there,

but make sure to tell them to whale
on our official merch and events.

You're just the worst.

Get lost.

It doesn't look like
they'll be found out at all.

Nobody thinks Tamon-kun has a hunchback,
or that Ouri-kun walks like a crab.

Oh?

That's Natsuki-kun.

Huh?

Hello.

Are you done writing the song?

Yeah, I somehow managed
to finish thanks to you guys.

Thanks.

You, too.

I didn't do anything.
But I'm glad to hear that.

Natsuki.

You skip out on rehearsals
and run away from work,

and that side of you
really pisses me off...

But I acknowledge your talent.

Anyway, do your job.

Uh, okay.

What's with that attitude?!
Put more enthusiasm into it!

Jeez, you're loud.

He's not getting through at all.

Natsuki-kun doesn't
like Ouri-kun very much.

I see.

- But today, they're getting along
better than they usually do.

- Are you listening to me?!

- Uh...

- Huh?! Look at me, damn it!

- With that?!

- Sure, whatever.

Yes.

I can't calm down.

I'm one of those in the know,
so I need to get a grip.

Assu! Come check out the Art Club.

The shared hallucination that Natsuki's
only 15 centimeters tall is hilarious.

And he's totally fed on marshmallows.

Take your time looking around!

Even though he doesn't like sweet things.

If we somehow have the chance to talk...

First, I need to apologize
for my misleading attitude.

Next, I need to apologize for that day.

And then, and then, and then...

Everyone!

Are you having fun?

Did you try out
the takoyaki, chocolate bananas,

- choir, play, and haunted house already?

- And so it begins!

That voice...

This is actually my first time
at a cultural fair.

Same here. I caught a cold during the one
at my middle school, so I couldn't go.

I didn't even know you
could get colds, Tamon.

Come on. Even I can catch colds.

You seem so resilient, though.

Huh? What? No way. Are you serious?

Anyway, that's enough chit-chat for now.

Everyone!

Do you know who we are?

I wonder who we could be.

Find out at the special stage.

All right! Our show's about to begin!

Everyone...

gather 'round!

Hello, everyone!

Hello!

Are you guys having fun
at the cultural festival?

Yay!

Things are about to get
even more exciting,

so please look forward to that.

Weren't you totally shocked
that we suddenly showed up?

Our surprise...

...was a huge success.

- We did it! Yay!

- Sorry to surprise everyone!

Okay, everyone!

We've got an announcement
to kick things off!

What's that?

Starting in January of next year,

our first flagship show,
F/ACE SCHOOL will start!

Yay!

And the first episode special will have
all the footage from today!

Please look forward to it.

- Yay!

- Also, we've already got our
theme song for our show, too!

Who wants to hear it?

I wrote this song with everyone
who works really hard in mind.

Lyrics and music by Natsuki Ishibashi.

The title is "FLY."

FLY HIGH

Fly higher, rise even further
and spread your wings

We are F/ACE

Nothin' left to do, so we're just
wandering around left and right

Just hanging around,
wasting our day & night

Saying “Working hard is lame”

Not noticing how foolish
that was, never ever

Selfish doubts,
unable to see nothing else

But all for what? You've already
realized the truth, haven't you?

All the setbacks were once

Part of my dream,
so don't throw them away

Gather them until they become memories

If I face it now

My dream, my place

I won't let go anymore

My voice, my song

Let’s sing La ta ta

My wish, my stage

I’ll show it to you

My wings, my sound

Higher and higher FLY HIGH, now FLY HIGH

To unknown worlds, together

Let’s take off FLY SO HIGH

FLY HIGH

Fly higher, rise even further
and spread your wings

We are F/ACE

FLY HIGH

Rise up—higher than before,
fly into the sky

We are F/ACE

Everyone! Thank you so much!

I guess the after party's started.

Today was definitely
information overload.

Oh, there you are.

Natsuki? What're you doing here?!

I saw you go up to the roof.

We were shootin' the rest
of the scenes down there.

No, I mean... what if
someone sees you here?!

All the students are in the gymnasium,
so we should be fine.

It's cold.

Well, it's leftovers.

I remember this flavor.

Um...

Did you hear the song earlier?

Yeah!

You were actually able to finish it.

I was worried because
Kinoshita-san and Tamon-kun said

you were having a hard time with it.

I loved it. Truly.

I could feel your heart
and soul in that song.

I see.

Well, I wanted you to hear it
more than anyone else, so...

Do you remember?

The promise about I'd let you hear a song
I wrote if you made it to the Inter-High?

All the setbacks were once

Part of my dream,
so don’t throw them away

Gather them until they become memories

Rise up—higher than before,
fly into the sky

Fly...

I know it's late... and your
dream's probably changed...

But I made this song because
I wanted to cheer you on.

Both you...

and all the kids around you.

C'mon, if you say something like that...

I hadda bunch of stuff to say to ya
an' now I forgot! You dumbass!

Look at you, gettin' to say all
the cool things! You dumb creeper!

Have you ever seen a creeper
with such a cute face before?

Yikes.

Don't "Yikes" me.

Damn it...

Hey!

I'm sorry about that day.

And... thanks. For staying with me.

I was able to become a singer.

I'm so happy for you.

I'm so effin' happy for you.

If Gloomyhara-san was
a student at my school,

I wonder if I'd've been able to
spend every day with him.

Did they dump all the work on you again?

Oh, no. I wanted to do all this.

Lemme see.

Huh?!

How could I do something so lewd?!

I can't believe I lined up
my name with a god's!

Keep your dreams
in your dreams, you dummy!

Kinoshita-san...

Gloomyhara-san! What are you doing?!

It'll cause a fuss if anyone sees you!

I'll head right back.
But before I left, I wanted to thank you.

Thank you so much for
showing me around today.

I had a lot of fun
at the cultural festival.

I'm glad to hear that. The Hana High Fest
is pretty famous around here.

Oh...

I'll help.

Huh?

You're so earnest even at school.

I just can't calm down
until everything's cleaned up.

I'm sorry to have you help out.

Oh, this is nothing.

Oh, but... If you hadn't found us,

- Gloom... Gloom, gloom.

- you would've went around
with your friends, right?

- Gloom.

- Gloom... Gloom, gloom.

- It must've been annoying
to have some outsiders

follow you around that whole time!

I'm so sorry to make you
waste your precious time

at an event that only
happens once a year!

I'll jump out the window now!

Hey! Calm thine emotions!

Please don't call yourself an outsider!

I had a lot of fun, too.

You're right.

You're a fan of mine,
so of course, it must've been fun.

Tamon-kun is a god!

I got to tell you what I wanted
to say, so I'll leave now.

Sorry to bother you.

You looked great in that outfit earlier.

Right?

Yeah. It was pretty surprising.

What?

Gloomyhara-san!

Huh?

Huh? The lights are on, but no one's here.

Maybe they forgot to turn the lights off.

Whatever. Let's go to the after party!

Yeah. Let's go.

I suddenly...

really didn't want to let him leave.

I'm sorry.

Someone... must've come by.

I didn't notice. I'm sorry.

Um, this has nothing to do with me
being a fan or you being an idol...

I genuinely had fun... just being
with you, Gloomyhara-san.

Something that's within me...

Please give me some time.

I set it aside once, but...

What exactly...

do you mean by that?

I have...

no choice but to admit it now.

I want to know what you're
thinking, Kinoshita-san.

I...

Tamon-kun, I...

Oh, it looks like the after party is over!

The students are going to come back!

Please get back to Fujita-san
and the others!

B-But...

Well, I'll see you later!

Something within me is...

Tamon-kun.

Tamon-kun.

Tamon-kun.

Tamon-kun!

Tamon-kun. Tamon-kun. Tamon-kun.

Tamon-kun!

Tamon-kun, who's so big but
always makes himself look so small.

Tamon-kun, who's so sincere
about even the smallest things.

Tamon-kun, who works so hard
for such a huge dream.

Tamon-kun, who softens up when he smiles.

He's so gloomy, but he went out on a limb
and dyed his hair a flashy color.

I love it.

His habit of touching his nose
when he's embarrassed. I love it.

He can be scary sometimes, but...

I love him.

I'll come clean.

Without a doubt...

I seriously...

love you.

Ever since I pushed him down that day,

it might've been set in stone
that this would happen.

Oh? Aren't you off today, Kinoshita-san?

I'm going to quit...

being a housekeeper!

I... don't want to be someone
who'll harm Tamon-kun.

Uh huh...

Na na na...

Uh huh...

I wonder what the world
would look like without you

When I look back,
you've always been by my side

Teaching me what "warmth"
and "happiness" feel like

A speedboat sails across the endless skies

An unwavering course,
a straight shot down the middle

An unbreakable red balloon
found nowhere else

Is this "fate"? Or just a "coincidence"?

Like a wilted flower coming back to life

A light that shines

Through the impossibly dark night

[Light of your soul]

I wanted to grasp it



So I strived for it

Wanna keep going, wanna keep growing

Bringing our flowers and dreams
into full bloom
