(What'll happen if Kanan stops being a school idol…?)

Hiyah!

[Fade in/out.]

Ack! Why did you karate chop me?!

'Cause you had a look on your face like the world was coming to an end. Sorry, I didn't mean to make you so sad. Forget what I said earlier.

How could I…?

The conversation's over, okay? I have to get back to the shop soon, anyway.

Right, you're helping out at the shop again today.

Yep. We had some folks book a diving lesson today, so I need to get all the equipment ready before they show up.

Oh. Um, is there anything I might be able to help with? I could organize the inventory, maybe, or show people where things are around the shop.

You mean it? That'd be awesome! The rush of customers has slowed a bit, but I think that promo video's still working its magic even now. Every extra pair of hands helps!

I'm happy to help you however I can.

Thanks! Let's get going, then.

Okay.

[Fade in/out.]

I think I'm about done restocking the shelves, Kanan. I sorted the new arrivals and straightened things up afterwards, too.

Thanks! You helped out so much. The storefront and the storage room look so neat and tidy! Can I tempt you into working here for real? You can be a full-timer!

Now, there's a thought! I feel like it'd be fun to work at the same place as you, and it would be reassuring to have full-time employment already lined up… Oh, erm.

*Chuckle* It's okay, you don't have to get all stiff.

R-Right. By the way, did the people show up for their diving lesson?

Any minute now, I'm sure. I'm excited. I know it's my job, but I just get so pumped up when I think about diving into the sea!

Excuse me!

Um, we're the party that booked a diving lesson.

Hi, I'm glad you made it. I'm Kanan Matsuura, and I'll be taking care of you today.

We heard about Uchiura and Awashima from watching the video this shop put out. We've been desperate to come check out this gorgeous ocean ever since!

That's so kind of you to say! I'm really glad that more people are hearing about how pretty the sea is here.

This'll be my first ever time diving. I'm not all that good at swimming, either, so I'm a bit worried… Will I be okay?

Definitely. Diving is more like floating than swimming, and I'll show you how to breathe and set up your equipment. You'll be fine even if you aren't a strong swimmer.

I'm here to support you both however I can, so the two of you can make some lovely memories in the sea. So let's hop to it!

Okay! Thank you so much!

(Kanan won them over right away, like she always does. Those two looked a bit doubtful before, but now they both look so excited.)

(I don't think it was just because of her spiel just now, either. Kanan's own love of diving and the ocean is what comes through to the customers and reassures them…)
