Mari Ep. 6: - Sightseeing in Tokyo Again

Mari appears while you're passing out flyers for the upcoming live show. At first, it seems she's back in Tokyo to check out schools under the pretense of sightseeing, but soon it's clear she may have another reason.

Player

We are the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club! Please come and see us perform live at the open campus!

Player

Phew. Handing out flyers is hard work. I can barely get anyone to take them. Maybe I should've asked someone for help after all.

Player

No! Everyone is busy with singing and dance practice. My job is supposed to be handling tasks like this so they can focus!

Player

We are the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club!

Mari

Could I have one?

Player

Sure! Thank you very… Wha?!

Mari

*Giggle* You're working very hard, Rainbow Student.

Player

Mari! What are you doing here?

Mari

There's only one reason I'd come to the capital city of Japan. Sightseeing!

Player

S-Say whaaaat?! No way.

Mari

Skepticism isn't very cute, my dear.

Player

After what happened last time, I'd be crazy not to be skeptical. Have you come to look around the school again, Chairwoman Ohara?

Mari

Well, look at you with your sharp intuition! You can relax. This time I'm not just here to look around the school. I'm also researching school idols.

Player

Huh? School idols?

Mari

Yes! Tokyo is a battleground for school idols. In fact, various schools are planning to use school idols to recruit students and boost their image.

Mari

There's a lot to consider! Benefits and drawbacks arising from having school idols, inter-school differences, organizational support for school idols…

Mari

Last time I observed the schools' facilities, customs, and traditions, but this time I'm focusing my research on the school idols themselves.

Option 1: “Sounds like you've come here to work!”

Player

Wow! Sounds like you've come here to work!

Mari

I always get the job done when I put my mind to it. Hey, do you wanna come with me again?

Option 2: “That's a very upstanding reason for your trip.”

Player

Hmm. You have a very upstanding reason for your trip this time. Hey, hang on! That means the whole sightseeing thing was a lie, then!

Mari

I can sightsee while I work. Assuming, of course, I have a capable assistant like you with me!

Player

Me? But I need to hand out these flyers for our live show.

Player

Besides, I don't think I'll be much help even if I do join you. I'll probably just end up tagging along behind you like last time.

Mari

That's plenty. Remember what I said before? It's awfully gloomy to wander around an unfamiliar place all by yourself. Just having you there would put my mind at ease.

Player

This coming from the last person who'd ever feel gloomy.

Mari

Besides, it looks like you're having trouble handing out those flyers. I bet you'd have better luck handing them out in different places rather than one spot.

Player

When you put it that way, I guess you have a point.

Mari

If you come with me, not only can you hand out flyers far and wide, but you'll get to chat with lots of other school idols as well.

Player

Chat?! You're not just gonna observe them, you're gonna talk with them face to face?!

Mari

Of course! I've already contacted them and received permission. What do you think? Feel like coming with me?

Player

Y-Yes. I'd like to join you, please!

Mari

Then that settles it! Let's head off to the first school!
