Don't load missiles onto my Valkyrie.
You were only able to save them by firing.
Look, a professional's job isn't just self-satisfaction...
Sorry, but we can't.
Basara!
It's nothing that concerns you!
It does too.
You can't try to be rational with him.
Bomber.
It wasn't you, but the Unified Army that beat off the enemy!
# Remember 16
194th place... what good is that?!
We finally made our debut, and we're not selling any records.
Hey, everyone... do you realize what's going on?!
Huh? What's wrong?
We're #194... 194.
Last week, we were #195.
The week before, when the single first came out, we were #196.
Well, it's only been 3 weeks since it came out...
What do you expect?
What's wrong with that? As long as we're moving up one by one.
What kind of slacker attitude is that?!
At this rate, how many years do you think it'll take to make it into the top 10?
They'll have forgotten about us by then!
When they sell, they'll sell.
What's that?!
There's no point in recording with an attitude like that.
Unless you record knowing you've got a hit, you can't be considered a professional singer.
If you have a naive attitude like that, you'll be stuck living a ``mayonnaise rice'' kind of life.
What's wrong with you?
Have you even tried mayonnaise rice before?
Well, no.
But I'm telling you, you have to take the recording seriously, like a pro.
Okay, I hear you.
Fine, let's start practicing the new song.
Give it your all, okay?
In this second song, Mylene is the main vocal.
Right...
All right, let's go!
I've gotta make this song a big hit!
# Sweet Fantasy
CF1 {Title} ANGEL NIGHT
Hey, hey! Don't play this kind of song!
# Planet Dance
It'll ruin our reputation.
But it's a pretty good song.
No, it isn't.
Why Akiko Lips would produce something like this, I'll never know. It won't sell.
This is the way to go... Alice Holiday.
But that last song was pretty good too.
Don't give me any more lip, or you're fired.
Right! Thank you very much for your patronage!
This is bad!
# Sweet Fantasy
Sorry... I messed up again.
What the hell are you doing? That's the important part!
If you don't give it your all here, just when ARE you going to?
All right already!
This is an important part, so I wanted to be sure to do it right.
I'm thinking hard about singing my best!
It's not going to do us any good for you to think about it. 
It's not going to happen if you don't sing.
I told you I want to do this right!
It's because you're worrying about ``doing it right'' or ``doing it well'' or something else just as useless that you're not singing well!
Just sing with all your heart, and give it your all!
What's wrong with my way? I have my way, you have yours.
If we do it your way, we'll never finish.
Is that so...
I understand.
Hey, Mylene!
Ray, although it was only a short while, it was nice knowing you.
Hey, Mylene!
Basara!
I was trying to encourage her... maybe she didn't get it?
Hey...
Do you know how many members have quit on us now?
Hurry up and get her back!
Okay already!
Are you sure she came this way?
No mistake.
Hey, did Alice Holiday happen to...
Did you see a young lady who sort of looks like Alice Holiday?
No...
Oh, okay. Thanks anyway.
Thanks for helping me out.
Not at all.
Actually, I'm sorry for just blurting out ``no''.
I never thought I'd meet you, Miss Alice.
But, is this all right?
Is work going okay?
Oh, who cares.
I can't sing that well any more anyway.
Oh, excuse me.
But, what do you mean, you can't sing well any more?
It's over.
I know that better than anyone else.
Not at all.
Sample GLQ's Spiritia level 45.
Continuing with investigation.
It's because I wanted to be a singer like you that I started in a rock band.
I love the way you sing.
Even in the quiet songs, the burning in your heart comes through so well, you'd burn yourself if you were to touch it.
How do you sing that way?
Hmm... I never even thought about it.
If I knew that, maybe I'd be able to sing well again.
Miss Alice...
Yup... I'm like a canary who forgot how to sing.
It's best to just toss me out.
That sports car... sounds like our Mylene's...
Do you know which way she might have gone?
Please, tell us!
If we don't find her soon, her concert tomorrow will be a disaster!
Well, we're in a bind too, now that Mylene is gone.
Are you telling me Mylene took off with this Alice person?
It sort of looks that way.
Man, what are we going to do?
Alice isn't returning even though it's already time for her rehearsal.
She's never pulled a stunt like this before!
Isn't that...!
Michael, we've spotted Miss Mylene's car on AZ street.
What?
Wasn't she supposed to be in Akusho?
Well, yes, but...
Presently, we are following on CC Avenue.
Good. Continue following her.
I'm going to head that way too.
Understood.
Ah! Excuse me... I'm going to drive a little more aggressively.
Mom's goons are always following me around.
We're going to hit him!
What happened?
Sorry, we lost them.
What?
She's probably headed towards RC street.
Find her. We're not going to give up just because we lost her.
If she's still wandering around at this hour, what are we going to tell Mayor Myria?
Uh, right.
They've got to be kidding.
It ticks me off how they're always trying to keep me on a tight leash.
And that guy, blabbing on without even considering other people's feelings.
That ticks me off.
And he doesn't sing with all his heart.
Is that how things are going for you?
How nice...
Those are wonderful troubles.
I'm jealous...
Ms. Alice...
Now sampling GLQ's Spiritia.
Spiritia collected. Level 12. Data collection complete.
That's right!
My troubles are still childish... I really think so.
Which way should we go?
Miss Alice? Miss Alice? Have you fallen asleep?
Lord Gepernich... Scout 23's report:
``Sample GLQ's Spiritia level is now 12. Data collection complete.''
``We are now in recovery mode.''
Very well.
Lord Gepernich, why are we repeating this experiment?
We have a nearly complete reading of that fleet's Spiritia level.
Why can't we start the full assault?
Have you forgotten the tale in the dream?
Whether that clan is well suited to my dream or not.
That is what I'm investigating.
``Dream''?
Don't you understand?
# eyecatch
Miss Alice, please cheer up!
There will be times when you can't sing even if you want to.
It may not be in my place to say this, but I can't just throw it all away.
It's because I wanted to sing, and because I wanted others to listen to me sing, that I became a singer.
I can't quit now.
For some reason, I've been really motivated by your words, when you said that my troubles are a bit childish.
Oh, did I wake you?
I got all worked up there.
For some reason, I feel like I don't care about anything any more.
Hey... just a sec! Miss Alice! Hello?!
It's such a bother...
Miss Alice!? But...
Nobody's picking up. Maybe she's gone back to the mansion.
There aren't too many other places to look.
We'll have to go to her mom's place.
No way! Then what about Miss Alice?
Well, what should we do?
Maybe go back...
...to our place.
Hmm... why?
She's not like everyone else.
I guess so. Then, let's go back.
Hey! That was Fire Bomber's van!
Follow them! We may be able to find her!
Rain?
Why did they turn the rain on in the middle of the night like this?
Are you all right?
I'll find some shelter from the rain soon.
With this kind of rain, it'll be tough getting back to Akusho.
She says left.
Okay.
What's up?
It seems like Viffidas has found Mylene.
Really?
Viffidas has 20/70 vision.
Then you really found them, right?
Thanks! We owe you our lives!
Shut up, will you? All we said was that we found Mylene.
There are some stairs ahead... be careful.
Right.
The brake!
Are you okay, all wet and all?
Don't worry about it.
Miss Alice?
So, I ended up here again.
Eh? Did you used to live in Akusho?
Akusho? Why do you ask?
Well...
Once again, I'm living the ``mayonnaise rice'' life.
Miss Alice...
Well, what difference does it make.
Miss Alice!
Standing up is such a chore.
Please cheer up.
Please let us hear you sing again.
Sing? Me?
Right.
I don't feel like singing any more.
What are you saying?
If you stop singing...
If you stop singing, won't it be sad?
Spiritia level 12... no change.
It was because I admired you so much that I joined a rock band. Really...
So, now, I'll sing with all my heart.
# Sweet Fantasy
Spiritia level changing... Acting strangely...
Basara? Viffidas?
What's wrong, Mylene? Go on.
Right.
Spiritia level 20... 25...
It's returning to previous levels... 31.
Oh, Miss Alice!
50... 52... 55.
No doubt about it. Sample GLQ's Spiritia is recovering.
This subject is definitely capable of Spiritia rejuvenation.
Can you hear it?
It's the sound of Miss Mylene singing.
What?!
Spiritia level 60.
Completely recovered... Will apprehend and return with sample GLQ.
Ray! I'm leaving the rest up to you.
Basara!
Mylene! I'm going to borrow your car!
Quick into the van...
Hurry!
That was her car!
Don't bother... Miss Mylene wasn't in it.
But why was HE driving it?
That...!
That was Miss Mylene!
What's this?
It's a vampire!
They're on their side... figures.
# Planet Dance
That's the abnormal Spiritia Chord-C.
Your partner's song's not too bad.
Spiritia level 65. Still rising.
70... 75... 80... Attaining unprecedented levels.
Capture Sample GLQ first.
Sample GLQ is more important.
Roger.
Hey! I'm not done with my song... Listen up!
Intrusion!{?}
Scout 23... Return with GLQ's sample to immediately!
Still attempting capture of sample GLQ.
Lord Gepernich does not require sample GLQ, only the data.
Roger.
They got away.
Basara. You managed, somehow.
Yeah, somehow.
Thanks... Your song was okay.
Not, okay... it was great!
Just a sec, Basara!
It was great. Mylene, so was yours.
Eh... great, eh?
Stay still!
I can't!
It's almost dawn.
Hurry up and get down! We can't afford to wait!
It's now possible... The Spiritia Farm Project.
She did it. She was great!
It turned out well, Mylene.
Back then, I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out.
But, now that everything is back to normal, I'm glad.
Well, we should practice too.
Right.
Let's.
Looking back, I guess it's because you took off that everything worked out.
NEXT EPISODE
Hey, Basara... did Ray used to be a soldier?
Don't be poking around in other people's pasts.
But...
What?
I'm worried!
Why don't you go watch a talk show or something.
Next time. Deep Ballad!
But, I wanna know!
