Chika Ep. 26: How to Spend a Break
Aqours have been swamped with back-to-back events and live shows, and it's really wearing down Chika! You recommend she take a break, but Chika has other ideas.
Chika
Okay! Today for practice, we're doing…nothing. Oh, that's right. We agreed to take a break.
Player
You've had nothing but back-to-back live shows and events for a while now, huh? And that means you've been practicing hard, too. It must be tough to switch to relaxing mode.
Chika
For sure. I've never done so many live shows in such a short amount of time before.
Chika
I'm always training to keep up my stamina, but I only really start working on my singing and dancing once a live show is scheduled.
Chika
Then every single day, it's like sing, dance, sing, dance, go make costumes, and then dance some more. *Giggle* It's exhausting, but fun.
Player
And all the live shows came out incredible! I was really impressed. Aqours is an amazing group.
Chika
*Giggle* Thanks…
Player
Are you okay? You seem kind of tired. You've been pushing yourself a lot.
Chika
No, I'm fine. I'm not tired at all…
Chika
…Okay, maybe I am a little tired after all.
Player
Of course you are. You've been staying up late for days, finalizing the routines and lyrics. I bet everyone in Aqours told you to be careful, but you didn't listen, huh?
Chika
Ack. How'd you know?
| Option 1: “I can see right through you.” |
|---|
| Player I can see right through you! Just joking. When you were eating the candy I got you, I saw you try to eat the bag too. That's when it hit me that you must be exhausted. Chika Wait, you saw that?! I tried to hide it the moment I realized… I didn't think you saw me! I'm mortified! |
| Option 2: “They came to talk to me.” |
| Player They all came to talk to me. They wanted me to get their hardworking leader to take a break. Chika They really said that? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make them worried. |
Player
At any rate, I'm glad that all the live shows went well. Why don't you take a break for the time being? You deserve the rest.
Chika
Hmm… Should I, or shouldn't I? I don't know.
Player
Why do you say that? Is there something you need to do?
Chika
Not really. Mito and Shima said I don't have to help out around the house for a while since I've been slammed with practice.
Player
So…
Chika
So if I'm going to take a break, I want to go somewhere and have fun!
Player
Hahaha. Now I get it.
Chika
I want to go somewhere fun to celebrate our live show successes! Somewhere that's super cool and exciting!
Player
Fair enough. As a reward for working so hard, I think it's fair to let you play hard too.
Chika
But you know, sitting back and taking it easy doesn't sound too bad either.
Chika
I want to go out, but I also want to take it easy… What should I do? Isn't there some way I can do both?
Player
That's tricky… Hmm, maybe you can go somewhere to relax? I wonder if there's a place that lets you do that. Let me look this up…
Player
Hey, Chika, how does this sound?
Chika
Let me see… Ooh, this looks really fun!
