Riko Ep. 29: What a Lovely Place
With live show preparations slowing down, you take a walk along the coast with Riko. Your spirits are raised as you gaze at the beautiful scenery.
Player
Here's your drink, Riko.
Riko
Thank you. Sorry for making you buy it for me.
Player
It's fine. Think of it as my way of saying thanks for tagging along with me.
Riko
I don't think I'm doing anything to be thanked for, though… I will gladly drink this, however.
Player
*Giggle* I'm just happy we can take a leisurely stroll along the beach together like this.
Riko
Me too. We've both been so busy lately with live show prep and such, after all.
Player
And I'm glad it's so nice out too. Nothing beats the sea against a nice blue sky. The scenery in Numazu just makes it even better.
Riko
I couldn't agree more. The blue ocean and the blue sky really suit each other… Two beautiful marvels of nature that we can enjoy all at once.
Player
The blue sky and ocean suit you well too, Riko.
Riko
Huh? You think so?
Player
Yeah. I couldn't be more spoiled right now. I get to see three beautiful marvels all at the same time!
Riko
Aw, geez. You're embarrassing me! You're the only one who would say something like that to me, you know.
Player
That's not true at all. Everyone in Aqours is thinking it too, and I bet all of your fans also feel the same way!
Player
Seeing you standing here with your hair blowing in the wind makes me feel like I've stepped straight into a painting. If I took a pic and posted it online, it would go viral!
Riko
N-No, don't! That's so embarrassing…!
[Fade in/out.]
Riko
Forget about me. The ocean and sky in Numazu are the real beauties. If you want to find something for people to talk about, they are much better choices!
| Option 1: “There's still so much here that I don't know about.” |
|---|
| Player I've been to Numazu many times now and seen its beaches, the fish, the mikan oranges, and the mountains, but… I bet there's still a lot that I don't know about. Riko The same goes for me. There are lots of wonderful places here that I just haven't discovered yet. And every time I find out about one, it makes me that much happier. |
| Option 2: “There are so many wonderful places here.” |
| Player There are so many wonderful places here in Numazu. I also hear some people are interested in it now because of Aqours, even. Riko We get fanmail about stuff like that too sometimes. We're always overjoyed to see those messages. That includes me as well, of course! |
Riko
I hope more and more people learn about Numazu. About our town… About this wonderful place.
Player
Word's getting out about Numazu, there's no doubt about it. Aqours has a big hand in it, but I've heard that Ai has been going around telling all sorts of people about it too.
Riko
She has?
Player
Remember when we all went around Numazu together? She's been telling her classmates how much fun she had and even bringing it up with her friends from other schools.
Riko
I see. That's great to hear. Please give her my thanks… Actually, no. I'll tell her personally. I wonder if I could call her tonight.
Player
I'm sure that would be fine. She said she'd be at home all day today.
Player
…Wait, I forgot!
Riko
What is it?
Player
I was planning to buy souvenirs for everyone in Nijigasaki! I wonder what I should get them…
Riko
All right, let's go buy those souvenirs after we finish our drinks then. I'll help you pick them out!
