Mari Ep. 22: Leave It to Numazu's Mari!
Shioriko visits Numazu with you to learn Mari's secrets to a good performance. But what exactly does Mari have in store for the two of you?
Shioriko
Here we are in Numazu.
Player
I wonder where Mari is. She said she would meet us at the station, but…
Shioriko
Today is finally the day where she will teach me the secrets of putting on a good performance.
Shioriko
I wonder what Mari usually does. Will I manage to do the same things too…? No, I must change my thinking. I swear I will learn them, no matter how difficult…
Player
You don't have to think too deeply about it, Shioriko.
Mari
Hello! Welcome to Numazu!
Player
Mari! Hi!
Shioriko
Hello. Thank you for coming out here to meet us.
Mari
It's all good. I couldn't just laze about at home waiting with you two coming to see me! In fact, I even considered going to Tokyo to get you guys!
Shioriko
No, we couldn't possibly make you do that…
Mari
Don't worry about it! If I do that, it's because I want to. I'll pick you guys up myself from now on. Traveling by helicopter is more efficient than by train anyway!
Shioriko
Helicopter…?!
Player
Only Mari could say that and make it sound completely plausible…
Mari
Did you have a good trip here, Shioriko?
Shioriko
Yes, I did. The scenery from the carriage window was wonderful.
Shioriko
And the thought of heading to the town that fostered everyone in Aqours allowed me to really ponder the task at hand.
Mari
The town that fostered Aqours, huh? I like that. I wouldn't be who I am today without Numazu and the friends that I made here.
Mari
It's so tranquil and warm, and I'm free to be myself here. I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't moved here.

| Player You might not have become a school idol at all, huh. Mari I wonder what I would be doing now instead if I had never become one. |
| Option 2: “Aqours would probably look very different.” |
| Player Aqours would probably look very different without you. Mari Just hearing that makes me a little… No, it makes me very sad. I don't want to think about iiit! |
Shioriko
I think it's safe to say that your experience living in Numazu has influenced your performances. People's actions and thoughts often change with their environment, after all.
Shioriko
I'll show everyone that I can grow in Numazu too. I look forward to working with you today, Mari.
Mari
Geez, you're so formal! Too formal! Way too formal! Take it easy and enjoy Numazu!
Shioriko
Um. Yes, if you insist!
Mari
Still too formal!
Shioriko
My apologies…!
Player
*Laugh* This is shaping up to be a fun day.
Player
So what's the plan for today, Mari? All you said was that we were going to go out…
Shioriko
Are we going to visit where you usually practice? So that would be your school… No, wait. Do you have some other venue that you use?
Mari
You're both hot and cold on that one. It does have something to do with training, but we're going somewhere much more fun and wonderful!
Shioriko
Somewhere fun and wonderful…?
Mari
Yes! Now, you two! Come with me!
