Dia Ep. 16: Feelings for My Sub-Unit
You pay Dia a visit at her home. While having tea together, the two of you chat about school idol activities and reminisce.
Dia
It's nothing special, but here's some tea.
Player
The tea you make is so delicious, Dia. Your matcha is amazing, but the regular tea you make is really good too.
Dia
And you are adept at flattery, as usual.
Player
I mean it.
Dia
*Giggle* I know.
Dia
I haven't sat and chatted with you over tea in quite a while. The last time you and I saw each other was, I believe…
Player
It was when we went to Harajuku and the amusement park. That was a fun time, wasn't it? We almost lost each other in the Harajuku crowds, we sang in a karaoke contest…
Dia
I recall that you got motion sickness from the merry-go-round.
Player
That's right… I'm sorry you had to see me like that. But I really had a lot of fun. I wanted to invite you on another fun outing somewhere again, but…
Dia
We were both so busy. An Aqours live show had been scheduled and we had to prepare for that… If I am not mistaken, you were in a similar position, were you not?
Player
Yeah. All of the Nijigasaki girls had live shows and events they were participating in. It was a flurry of activity.
Dia
You did great work. To tell the truth, I did go see a few of those performances.
Player
What? You came to see some of Nijigasaki's live shows?! Really?! You should've told me!
Dia
I did tell you, just now.
Player
Not now! I mean when you came to watch them!
Dia
*Giggle* I apologize. I was hesitant to disturb you when you all needed to focus.
Dia
They were truly wonderful performances. Everyone was bursting with such individuality, and I had a delightful time. Thank you.
Option 1: “You should thank the others.” |

Player Likewise—actually, it's the other girls you should be thanking. They did all the work. Dia Understood. I will let them know. |
Option 2: “I'll pass that along.” |
Player Likewise, thanks for coming to watch! I'll let the others know. They'll be thrilled to hear that you attended their live shows. Dia I can imagine them saying I should have told them at the time, the way you did just now. |
Player
I wish I had gone to see Aqours' live show too. I was so busy that I totally missed my chance… But it was really well-received, and I'm sure it was an amazing live show.
Dia
It was. We received quite a lot of praise for it. I would love to do another live show that receives just as much acclaim.
Player
Are there any plans for Aqours' next live show? Or are you guys taking some time off?
Dia
No, we thought we would try our hand at sub-unit live shows, rather than with all of Aqours together. We are still discussing the matter.
Player
Sub-units? Do you mean AZALEA, CYaRon!, and Guilty Kiss?! That's awesome! Are you really gonna do that?!
Dia
Yes. We must operate as our sub-units on occasion, or else people may forget about us.
Player
I don't think that's true. All of your sub-units are super popular.
Dia
But we mustn't get careless. There are new, charming school idols making themselves known every day. If we get complacent, they could overtake us in an instant!
Dia
Though we originated from Aqours, our sub-units each have their own image to maintain. And that, in turn, is tied to Aqours' reputation as well.
Dia
Most importantly, our sub-units are another vital outlet for us to share our songs with the world! We mustn't neglect them!
Player
I see… True to your nature, you've really put some serious thought into this.
Player
Dia, when you know more details about these sub-unit live shows, could you get in touch with me? I'd like to help you guys out if you'll let me.
Dia
Are you sure? But you must be quite busy helping all of the Nijigasaki girls, no?
Player
I have time right now, so don't worry about that. I'll talk it over with everyone at Nijigasaki, and will help you guys out when I'm free.
Dia
Thank you. Your help would be appreciated. I feel as though I'm always indebted to you.
