Nozomi Ep. 19: Alone at the Ocean

The spy mission —or rather, performance trade—lily white set off on was a big success! It was a fruitful practice session for everyone, and now you are heading home with Nozomi. No one else is around by the ocean.

Nozomi

I guess no one's here by the ocean, huh?

Player

Umi and Rin said they'd go on ahead to a café or something. We can rendezvous with them later.

Nozomi

Roger that! Sorry, I know it was selfish to want to stay here a bit longer.

Player

It's not selfish at all! I wanted to take a walk too since we came all the way out here.

Player

…By the way. Nozomi?

Nozomi

Hm?

Player

Why are you hiding behind those sunglasses?

Nozomi

Why? Well… The two of us are sneaking out here on an incognito date, aren't we?

Player

An incognito date?! Is that what we're doing?!

Nozomi

What, couldn't you tell?

Player

Why would I assume that?! Besides, how can it be an incognito date with no one else around? You don't even need the sunglasses.

Nozomi

*Chuckle* Yeah, that's fair. Still… When we're here like this, doesn't it feel like only you and I are left in the world together?

Nozomi

It makes my heart race to think about how no one else in the world knows the connection that we share.

Nozomi

I really am a lucky girl, getting to have such a special encounter…

Player

N-Nozomi?!

Nozomi

Oh. When I say a special encounter, I mean the encounter that I had with everyone.

Player

Geez! S-Stop saying stuff like that, you'll give me the wrong idea!

Nozomi

*Laugh* Sorry! Though that incredibly important encounter DOES include you.

Player

(That was a shock.)

Nozomi

I don't just mean everyone in ÎĽ's. I mean everyone in Nijigasaki and Aqours, as well as you. I'm having special encounters more and more frequently.

Nozomi

And I feel very fortunate to have encountered so many special people.

Nozomi

I've been granted so many things thanks to being a school idol.

Player

Yeah… I know what you mean. School idols have given me a lot as well.

Player

Nozomi—

Option 1: “I want to give you something in return.”

Player

I wish that I could give you something back in return.

Nozomi

*Chuckle* Haven't you noticed? You've already given me plenty!

Option 2: “You're a very special encounter to me, Nozomi.”

Player

You're a very, very special encounter to me, Nozomi.

Nozomi

Really? Then I guess we feel the same way about each other… I'm glad about that!

Nozomi

We're normally so busy with training, but it always strikes me at unexpected moments… I love everyone so much that I can hardly stand it.

Player

*Giggle* Then you really are lucky, right Nozomi?

Nozomi

Right!

Nozomi

I have to continue working hard so that I can keep up the pace with everyone else.
