Chris Yukine: "--And that's why you've gotta help us with our training!"

Tsubasa Kazanari: "So basically you all want to have better teamwork?"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Yes. We want to find out what it is we lack right now."

Kirika Akatsuki: "We want to able to kick even more butt when we get back to the other side." [1]

Tsubasa Kazanari: "If that's what it is, I'll gladly help you out."

Hibiki Tachibana: "Me, too! Me, too! I want to help!"

Maria: "I'll be joining in too, of course."

Miku Kohinata: "If there's something I can help with, let me know, okay?"

Chris Yukine: "Hehe, that's great. Thank you!"

Hibiki Tachibana: "So what do we do, exactly? Intensive training in the training room?"

Maria: "No. Before they start fighting, they're better off working on the fundamentals."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Fundamentals?"

Maria: "What's important is mutual understanding. Getting in each others’ shoes to nurture perfect teamwork."

Miku Kohinata: "Oh, in that case--"

Hibiki Tachibana: "Did you think of something, Miku?"

Miku Kohinata: "Yeah, so how about this?"

Miku Kohinata: "So Kirika-chan will cook."

Kirika Akatsuki: "S-Sure thing!"

Miku Kohinata: "Shirabe-chan will clean, and Chris will go shopping. That way, they'll be in roles they're aren't used to." [2]

Tsubasa Kazanari: "I get it now. That might help them understand each other better."

Maria: "Yes. By doing what the other usually does, they'll deepen their understanding of each other."

Hibiki Tachibana: "I'd never thought of that, Miku! I can always count on you."

Miku Kohinata: "Thanks, Hibiki."

Chris Yukine: "All right! I'll go buy dinner then!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "I'll do some prep work while she's gone!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "And I'll clean up."

Miku Kohinata: "......"

Hibiki Tachibana: "......"

Tsubasa Kazanari: "You know... I don't know how to say it, but..."

Maria: "Yeah. I can't really say I'm surprised to be honest."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Ugh, I'm so embarrassed... Shirabe always cooks for me, so I never learned how to do it myself."

Chris Yukine: "How did you end up burning the pot? That's such a basic mistake."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Chris-senpai, about these groceries..."

Chris Yukine: "Hm? I bought everything I needed to, didn't I? Did I miss anything?"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "You didn't, but you went way over budget."

Chris Yukine: "Well what was I supposed to do? That's just how much it costed."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "If you shopped around for discounts at different supermarkets, you could've gotten this for half the price."

Chris Yukine: "H-Half?! I didn't know you could do that!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Yeah."

Maria: "Shirabe is the only one who got by without any issues."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Well yes. But I often clean on my own anyway."

Maria: "Okay. Let's try something else then."

Tsubasa Kazanari: "That'll be for the best. What's the next thing they need to work on?"

Hibiki Tachibana: "How about they talk like each other? If they do that, then maybe they'll start understanding how they think."

Kirika Akatsuki: "I think that's kinda pushing it, to be honest..."

Tsubasa Kazanari: "Well, there is divine power in words, after all. Imitating each other might work better than you think."

Kirika Akatsuki: Then let's give it a whirl... I mean, let us do this!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Kiri-chan, are you imitating me? I mean, are you imitating me, bub?!"

Chris Yukine: "Are they just going to make fun of me again?"

Tsubasa Kazanari: "Yukine, remember that you're supposed to be imitating someone now."

Chris Yukine: "...O-Okey-dokey! Th-They're being such big meanie weanies making fun of meeee! How's that?"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Y-You're such a meanie, Chris-senpai! I don't talk like that!"

Hibiki Tachibana: "Pfft!"

Miku Kohinata: "H-Hibiki, don't laugh! They're really trying... Hehe..."

Tsubasa Kazanari: "I don't think they're doing too bad... Hehe..."

Chris Yukine: "Now you're just messing with us!"

Genjuro Kazanari: "Good, you're all here. The Noise appeared!"

Elfnein: "Everyone head out immediately."

Tsubasa Kazanari: "Perfect. Now we'll see how their training paid off."

Chris Yukine: "How was that supposed to have any pay off?!"

Maria: "Hey, it might have worked better than you expected, you know?”

Chris Yukine: "If improving teamwork was that easy, we wouldn't have to try so hard to get better."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Ain't that the truth."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "I agree."

Miku Kohinata: "There, there. One step at a time."

Hibiki Tachibana: "Okay, Miku! I'm off!"

Tsubasa Kazanari: "You said there were no wielders in the parallel world, so you were taking on the Noise by yourselves, right?"

Chris Yukine: "Yeah, what of it?"

Tsubasa Kazanari: "In that case, I will teach you the second lesson of a Guardian's resolve."

Chris Yukine: "W-Wait! I've already had enough resolve beaten into me!"

Tsubasa Kazanari: "What you learned was only the foundation."

Tsubasa Kazanari: "Listen. A Guardian's duty is to protect others. I want you to spread that knowledge to the other world."

Chris Yukine: "No way! I didn't go over there just to spread your teachings!"

Tsubasa Kazanari: "What? I now see that the fundamentals weren't enough. Do you have any idea how crucial a Guardian's duty is?"

Chris Yukine: "No, it'll be fine! I get the gist of it! What I really want to know is--"

Tsubasa Kazanari: "It doesn't look that way. But worry not. I'll teach you the essence of what it means to be a Guardian!"

Chris Yukine: "Th-That's not what I meant. What I want to learn is team--"

Tsubasa Kazanari: "Let's go, Yukine!"

Chris Yukine: "Gaaah! I give up!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "I'm starting to feel sorry for Chris-senpai..."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Yeah..."

Hibiki Tachibana: "I mean, there's nothing wrong in what Tsubasa-san's saying."

Maria: "Yes. Having the right mindset in battle is important. We'll leave Chris to Tsubasa, and go fight on our own."

Tsubasa Kazanari: "How was it out there? Did you feel an improvement in your teamwork and guardian's resolve?"

Chris Yukine: "Haah... Haah... Was there... any point to this?"

Tsubasa Kazanari: "Perhaps not now but in the near future, you might understand."

Chris Yukine: "Could you not be so vague about everything?!"

Tsubasa Kazanari: "Relax. Everything has meaning. It's easier when you fight with someone with the same goals as you, right?"

Chris Yukine: "The same goals as me, huh? Man, I can never get a straight answer out of anyone..."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Look at your partner, and match your thoughts with theirs."

Kirika Akatsuki: "I felt even stronger than I usually do!"

Maria: "Now, shall we go back and resume your intensive training?"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Wh-Wh-Wh-What?!"

Chris Yukine: "Is this really the time to go back to training?!"

Maria: "What are you saying? There's still plenty left to do. Enough dawdling, we're going back!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Maria's enjoying this..."

Chris Yukine: "What are we doing now?"

Maria: We'll play an answer matching game."

Maria: "It's simple. First, pair up, and I'll ask a question. If you both have the same answer, you get one point."

Kirika Akatsuki: "That sounds pretty hard..."

Maria: "It may be a little tough to do so suddenly... Can I ask you two to demonstrate first?"

Hibiki Tachibana: "We got this!"

Miku Kohinata: "Okay!"

Hibiki Tachibana: "Miku and I are essentially sisters, so this'll be easy-peasy!"

Maria: "Try to relax and play without thinking too hard. All right, your first topic..."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Wow, you got 10 out of 10!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Yeah, but it seemed like Miku-san was just guessing all the answers."

Maria: "Well, as long as you can look at your partner and guess what they're thinking, your answers will match."

Maria: "Okay, I think me and Tsubasa should try this out. I'll leave the questions to you, Shirabe."

Maria: "6 out of 10. That sounds about right."

Kirika Akatsuki: "You were pretty strong on singing-related questions."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Your answers on fighting and battlefield mindset also matched. Scary, if you ask me."

Chris Yukine: "You both had the same speeches for pushing yourself in battle. That gave me goosebumps for different reasons."

Kirika Akatsuki: "I bet that deep down somewhere in their psyches, they have the same tastes and don't realize it."

Tsubasa Kazanari: "N-Never mind us! Come on, you three are up next."

Chris Yukine: "S-Sure! I'll beat this game real easy!"

Chris Yukine: "But how?"

Hibiki Tachibana: "Ouch. I thought you two would at least get a point or two, Shirabe-chan and Kirika-chan..."

Kirika Akatsuki: "That was exhausting..."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Yeah. We're not getting anywhere..."

Chris Yukine: "Why did my answers not match?!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "When you tried to match our answers, you always came up with something entirely different to ours."

Kirika Akatsuki: "You can count on me to match the answers!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "No, I should take the lead."

Chris Yukine: "Hey, I'm in charge here, so you should let me take the lead."

Kirika Akatsuki: "No, me!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Me!"

Chris Yukine: "I said I'd--!"

Tsubasa Kazanari: "Stop it, all of you!"

Hibiki Tachibana: "They've got a rocky road ahead of them..."

Chris Yukine: "It looks like we know even less about each other than we thought."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "We're doing this sleepover to try and understand each other though..."

Kirika Akatsuki: "It's fine. If there's something we don't know about each other, now's the time to find out!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Yeah."

Chris Yukine: "Yep."

Genjuro Kazanari: "Sorry for calling you out here today."

Chris Yukine: "No problem. There haven't been Noise around lately, so I have some spare time."

Genjuro Kazanari: "I see. Tsubasa told me a bit, but how's your teamwork training? Is it going well?"

Kirika Akatsuki: "It's coming along, I guess."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "But it still isn't quite there yet..."

Genjuro Kazanari: "Then how about tuning up your Gears? You can check your teamwork through the simulator, too."

Chris Yukine: "I like the sound of that! It'll be a lot easier to understand than some weird training!"

Genjuro Kazanari: "Weird training?"

Kirika Akatsuki: "I-I mean... Never mind!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "We'd rather not talk about it."

Genjuro Kazanari: "Never mind then. You won't only be fighting Noise today, but also wielders."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Huh? Wielders, too?"

Genjuro Kazanari: "Hibiki-kun said that she wanted to help you out. She's all ready to go."

Chris Yukine: "That idiot. Trying to step in where she doesn't need to."

Kirika Akatsuki: "That's just what she does, you know."

Elfnein: "I will be keeping an eye on all your readings during this training session."

Chris Yukine: "Hey, how are we doing out here?"

Elfnein: "Your readings are well within expectations."

Kirika Akatsuki: "That's good!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Yeah, it all felt really smooth."

Chris Yukine: "All right! Let's keep this up!"

Hibiki Tachibana: "I'm ready when you are!"

Chris Yukine: "We shouldn't keep that idiot waiting. C'mon, let's keep going!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Okay."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Bring it on!"

Elfnein: "Good job, everyone."

Genjuro Kazanari: "Hey, did you all notice?"

Genjuro Kazanari: "Hm? Notice what?"

Genjuro Kazanari: "Nah, if you didn't, it's fine."

Chris Yukine: "That's creepy. Just say it!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Yeah. Don't leave us hanging."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "If there's something you want to say, you should tell us."

Genjuro Kazanari: "Heh. Don't worry about it. You'll understand soon enough."

Gejuro Kazanari: (This proves it. Their teamwork is way better than it was before, along with their mutual understanding.)

Maria: "Okay, time to announce your results."

Chris Yukine: "Get it over with!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "I'm getting all nervous now!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Yeah..."

Tsubasa Kazanari: "You all got every answer correct!"

Chris Yukine: "You see that?!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "We can finally say our hearts are together as one!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Yeah, we did it, Kiri-chan."

Hibiki Tachibana: "I knew they could do it."

Miku Kohinata: "Yeah, they were all over the place at first, but they've really improved."

Maria: "It wasn't that you didn't match originally. It was just that you were trying too hard to match each other."

Maria: "You're actually quite compatible, so if you just relax and act naturally, you'll work great together."

Tsubasa Kazanari: "All right, let's finish things up. Time for a real battle!"

Maria: "Yeah. You'll be fighting against us three."

Hibiki Tachibana: "I'm not gonna hold any punches!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "This is going to be fun!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "We won't lose to your team, Maria!"

Chris Yukine: "There they go getting carried away. Still, can't complain about testing out our skills in a real battle."

Hibiki Tachibana: "Okay, let's all head to HQ!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "We did it! We beat your team, Maria!"

Tsubasa Kazanari: "They won pretty conclusively. I wasn't expecting that level of teamwork at all."

Chris Yukine: "What do you think?! This is us at our best!"

Hibiki Tachibana: "That was amazing! I knew you could do it, Chris-chan!"

Maria: "You did very well too, Shirabe."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Thank you, Maria."

Genjuro Kazanari: "I think we can put this down as a roaring success."

Chris Yukine: "Yeah! Now nobody can say we don't work together! Me and these girls are unstoppable!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Yeah, yeah! The bonds between us are unbreakable!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "We can handle anything when we're together."

Hibiki Tachibana: "I'm so glad that intensive training has paid off!"

Maria: "You've improved so much in such a short time."

Tsubasa Kazanari: "You sure have. You were all fantastic."

Chris Yukine: "Thanks."

Chris Yukine: "You two ready to do this? It's time we go teach that bastard a lesson!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "I was born ready!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Okay!"

Chris Yukine: "This time we'll settle things on the other side for good!"

Note:

[1] Script missing a word here: "We want to be able"

[2] I think what happened here was they intended to word this "they're not used to" and changed their mind halfway to "they aren't used to" but blended them into "they're aren't"
