Mari Ep. 34: One Day I'll Say "Welcome Home" to You

You visit the Uranohoshi Girls' High School clubroom to help out Aqours. There, you find Mari preparing handover documents for the next club president. You feel like your time with Mari is coming to an end…

Player

Hey there.

Mari

Hello! Back again, huh? Could you hold on a moment? I'm just finishing up.

Player

What are you up to? Chairwoman's duties?

Mari

Yes. I was doing them in my office, but I decided to come here for a change of scenery.

Player

I see. Seems like you've been busy. What kind of work are you… Oh, sorry, as someone from another school I shouldn't ask, should I?

Mari

*Giggle* Well, I can't get into details, but I'm drawing up documents for handing over my position after I graduate.

Option 1: “That's a little sad…”

Player

Huh? I see… That's a little sad. I guess I thought you'd always be at Uranohoshi. Of course you won't be, though.

Mari

I still plan on finding some way to help Uranohoshi even after I graduate and can't be chairwoman anymore. I won't be saying goodbye together, to the school or to you.

Option 2: “I won't see you anymore.”

Player

Graduation… I see… I suppose once you graduate I won't be able to see you and chat like this anymore…

Mari

You can still call or message me, so you can see me whenever you like! Let's keep on chatting and going out together even when we're both wrinkly old ladies!

Player

Yeah…let's do that.

Mari

If you still feel lonely, why don't we live together? Wherever we go, we'll always return to the same place at the end of the day. Wouldn't that be lovely?

Player

Whaaa?! That's taking things a little too far! Although…I guess it really would be lovely to come home to you, Mari.

Mari

The day when you have to choose your future will come someday. You never know if it'll be when you graduate from Nijigasaki, or before or after that.

Mari

But whatever you choose, I'll be there with you. You won't be alone. Never forget that, okay?

Player

…Yeah. Thank you, Mari.

[Fade in/out.]

Mari

It's gotten quite late, hasn't it? Today you'll be…going back to Tokyo, right? I'm looking forward to the next time I see you.

Player

(I'm really going back… I already feel sad. It's true, if we lived together we'd never have to say goodbye.)

Mari

…Could you wait there a moment?

Player

Huh? What's the matter?

Mari

Nothing, nothing. Just hold on. Stay! Stay!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Mari's really taking her time. I wonder where she went? I thought she'd forgotten something, but she went outside…

Player

Hm?

[Fade in/out.]

Mari

Thanks for waiting!

Player

Huh?! Mari?! Wh-Why are you in a helicopter?!

Mari

I'm here to pick you up, of course! I'll take you home to Tokyo! This way we can spend a little longer together, right?

Mari

For now, we live far apart, but someday let's call the same place home! Then we'll be together forever! I'll come out to welcome you home every day!

Player

Mari…! Yeah! I want to be with you forever!

Mari

Then come on! Climb the ladder up here!

Player

Whaaa?!

Mari

Ahahahaha! Now let's go! All the way to my place!
