Dia Ep. 6: - Chance Meeting in Harajuku
You and Ai are hanging out in Harajuku on your day off. While the two of you try to decide where to go first, you spot an unexpected person.
Player
Woo-hoo, we're in Harajuku! You're the leader today, Ai!
Ai
Sure! Let's hit a bunch of places and have tons of fun!
Player
Where should we go first? Huh? Hey, isn't that…
[Fade in/out.]
Player
U-Umm, excuse me?
Dia
Yes? Can I help… Oh, you two!
Ai
No way! It's Dia!
Player
I knew it! Dia, what're you doing here? You do realize this is Harajuku, right?!
Dia
Yes, of course, I do! Is it so strange that I would be here?
| Option 1: “I can't picture you hanging around Harajuku.” |
|---|
| Player It's not strange. Err, on second thought, it kinda is. I just can't picture you hanging around Harajuku. Dia How rude! Even I come to Harajuku from time to time! |
| Option 2: “It's not that it's strange, but…” |
| Player It's not that it's strange, but it's basically inconceivable that you'd be anywhere but in Uchiura. Dia If that's the case, then where exactly do you think the ÎĽ's and Aqours joint live show was held?! I've come to Tokyo many times before! |
Ai
You're right about that. So, you're really just here today to hang out?
Dia
No, I'm not here for leisure. I was invited to a live performance by my koto teacher. I was just on my way home.
Player
Ah, so that's why. That makes sense. You're just gonna head straight back to Uchiura, then?
Dia
That was my intention.
Player
Aww, that's a shame, especially since we bumped into each other.
Ai
Hold up, Dia! If you're just going home because you've got nothing better to do, why don't you stay here in Harajuku and hang out with us instead?
Player
That's a great idea! Let's check out some of the shops and grab something to eat.
Dia
Me? Hang out? In Harajuku?
Player
Yeah! Have you ever hung out here before?
Dia
Oh, no. I've come here for specific reasons and events, like today, but I've never made the trip just to wander around before.
Dia
It's always overflowing with people, and the whole town has such a gaudy atmosphere to it. It all feels rather…frivolous would be the word, I suppose.
Ai
*Laugh* You're right, it is always crowded! But there are quiet places in Harajuku, too. Step off the main drag and onto a side street, and the atmosphere completely changes.
Dia
It does?
Player
Yup. I've come here a few times now, and I encounter something new every time. I'm sure you'll have even more fun since this is your first experience, Dia!
Dia
If you both feel that strongly, then it must be fun. Honestly, I have actually wanted to wander around and see what's out here.
Dia
Since Harajuku spearheads the latest trends, I thought coming here to learn about them could give me useful information that would aid our school idol activities.
Dia
And while I know school idols and social trends go hand in hand, I still feel rather nervous about throwing myself into that huge crowd.
Player
All the more reason for us to go together! It won't be scary if you're not alone.
Dia
Thank you very much. All right, then. I'd love to join you.
Ai
Now we're talking! Time for our trio to enjoy Harajuku to the fullest!
