Riko Ep. 32: In the Numazu Sea
After being advised to choose a place she has fond memories of, Riko chooses the Numazu sea. It's finally the big day. The camera is set up, and it's time for the stream to begin!
Riko
Um, has it started?
Player
It's started! Look, there's already comments coming in!
Riko
Wow, so there are! I didn't know it would happen so fast… Have they been waiting for this?
Player
Introduce yourself first, Riko.
Riko
Oh, of course! I forgot. Ahaha, I suppose I must be nervous.
Riko
Um, so… Hello. I am Riko Sakurauchi, of the school idol group Aqours.
Riko
All of us in Aqours are doing our own live streams. I thought I'd show off the city of Numazu, where Aqours was born.
Player
There's so many comments coming in! “Numazu's a nice place.” “I've seen photos of the sea online, it's so pretty!”
Riko
Right! It's a very nice place. There's so many places I wanted to tell you all about that I had trouble deciding.
Riko
But after getting lots and lots of advice, I settled on…here! The sea!
Riko
And with the fine weather today, the sea looks even prettier than usual! I'm sure for a lot of you, the sea is the first thing you think about when you think of Numazu, right?
| Option 1: “Seems like a lot of people feel the same way.” |
|---|
| Player Lots of commenters seem to feel the same way. Oh, here's a very insistent one that stands out. “I think of mikan oranges!”, it says. Riko Could that comment be…Chika?! Just kidding! Yes, mikan oranges are tasty, aren't they? I love them too! |
| Option 2: “I always think of the sea too.” |
| Player I always think of the sea too. Lots of people are saying its the same for them. And fish, too. Riko Numazu fish is tasty, isn't it? I always eat more fish when I'm here compared to when I'm in Tokyo. |
Riko
As a seaside town, Numazu also has lots of swimming spots. In fact, there's one right in front of Chika's house.
Player
Isn't she lucky? She can swim whenever she likes in summer! Even when the pools are closed, she can get exercise by swimming in the sea!
Riko
Ahaha, every Aqours member showed up to swim with the same goal in mind before. We called it our summer retreat. Chika let us all stay at her house!
Player
Oh, a comment. “I'm so jealous!” “Staying together in a ryokan inn? How glamorous!”
Riko
No, no, no. We don't get separate rooms! We all just sleep over in Chika's room!
Player
They say “I'm still jealous!”
Riko
R-Really…?
Player
What was the retreat like? I bet Dia whipped you all into shape, right?
Riko
We tried using ÎĽ's training regimen, and it left us all exhausted! Kanan seemed to handle it just fine, though.
Riko
Oh, and we helped out at the seaside restaurant while we were there. You's yakisoba noodles were super popular!
Player
That's a staple of hers, isn't it? I wish I could've had some…
Riko
I'm sure she'll make you some if you ask!
Player
Hm? This comment says “Didn't they sell an amazing looking stew and black takoyaki too?”
Riko
Oh, is that someone who visited the seaside restaurant? Thanks for coming! Those two meals were…well, I'll leave it to your imagination!
Player
Whaaa?! Tell me, Rikooo!
