Dia Ep. 8: A Break Downtown
Dia seems a little tired after walking around Harajuku. Seeing this, Ai suggests going somewhere else to hang out. Where might she be taking you?
Dia
*Sigh*
Player
You okay, Dia?
Ai
Sorry. We just kinda walked off without you…
Dia
Not at all. I should apologize for causing you concern. It is a given that keeping up with the latest crazes would require my full dedication…
Ai
Um… Okay, how about we take ourselves somewhere else for a change of pace?
[Fade in/out.]
Ai
So with that, welcome to my hometown, the place that AI love with all my heart!
Player
This is the shopping district near your place!
Dia
It's quite the bustling location. Yet, it seems to have a different vibrance to where we were in Harajuku just now.
Ai
Right? There's a big temple and shrine near here, so we get a bunch of tourists mixed in with the locals.
Player
There were a bunch of different stores lining the path to the temple, right? Like some Japanese sweets places? You like Japanese sweets, right Dia? You wanna check 'em out?
Dia
Yes, I would love to! Sorry to make you two go to such lengths for me…
Ai
It's not a big deal! I'm just takin' you guys places I already wanted to visit with you!
Player
What she said! We're finally all here together, so it'd be a waste not to make some fun memories.
Dia
Agreed. Thank you very much.
[Fade in/out.]
Dia
Hm? Can you hear that? It sounds like some kind of song.
Ai
A song? Oh, that's right! They're holding a neighborhood karaoke contest today. You wanna check it out?
Player
A karaoke contest, huh? That sounds like fun! I totally wanna go!
Dia
Me too. I would very much like to know what kinds of songs the contestants are singing.
[Fade in/out.]
Ai
I think it's supposed to be in this building here…
Woman
Oh? Why, if it isn't little Ai of the Miyashita family!
Ai
Oh, hello!
Player
Is she an aquaintance of yours?
Ai
She's my grandma's friend and a member of the neighborhood committee.
Woman
Out with your friends today? If you're free, why don't you consider joining the karaoke contest?
Ai
Ooh, for real?! You can count me in!
Dia
What?! W-Would it not be a bother if we were to join of our own accord? There must be countless other contestants…
Woman
Oh, don't worry about that! You wouldn't be the only late entries, so feel free to join right in! Here's your mic.
Ai
That settles it! A downtown guerilla gig featuring Aqours and Nijigasaki! Let's show them our school idol chops, Dia!
| Option 1: “You've got this!” |

| Player Ai! Dia! Y-You've got this! Dia Please wait. I'm still not mentally prepared. A-At least allow me to take a few deep breaths! |
| Option 2: “Hang on, I've gotta film this!” |
| Player Good luck, you two! Oh, hang on! I'm gonna get this on video. Now where's my phone? Dia Please wait! I have not said a single word in favor of singing… Oh, please listen to me! |
