Ruby Ep. 32: My Beloved Aqours
It's the day of the live stream. As the comments pour in, one viewer hasn't heard of Aqours before. Before her dance, Ruby introduces all the members of the group.
Ruby
One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.
Player
The stream is set up, Ruby. Shall we begin?
[Fade in/out.]
Ruby
Y-Yes… Let's begin!
Player
Don't worry. You've practiced so hard for this. I'm sure it'll be a success! Believe in yourself, Ruby!
Ruby
Yeah! I'll try!
Player
Let's begin. Start the stream!
[Fade in/out.]
Ruby
H-Hello! I'm Ruby Kurosawa of Aqours. Today, um, I want to show you my dancing! I h-hope you'll enjoy!
Player
(She's still a little nervous. I wish there was something I could do to calm her down…)
Player
Ruby, so many people are cheering you on in the comments! “I've been waiting for you, Ruby!”, “Go for it!” “I can't wait to see you dance, Ruby!”
Ruby
Oh my, thank you so much! I'll do my best!
Player
Hm? “I know about school idols, but I've never heard of Aqours before.” …There's someone watching you for the first time, Ruby.
Ruby
R-Really? Maybe I should introduce Aqours, then?
Player
Maybe. I'll leave it to you, Ruby!
Ruby
Um, we're a school idol group from Uranohoshi Girls' High School in the city of Numazu, in Shizuoka Prefecture.
Ruby
Our group's name is spelled A-Q-O-U-R-S, and pronounced like “aqua.” There are nine members, including myself.
Ruby
Chika, the leader who brought us all together, Riko, who always writes wonderful songs for us,
Ruby
You, who makes the costumes and gives us all advice, Hanamaru, who always puts her all into dance practice,
Ruby
Yoshiko, who always pursues the things she loves, Dia, who is both a school idol and president of the student council,
Ruby
Kanan, who comes up with training routines for all of us, and Mari, who loves Aqours more than anyone.
Ruby
They're all such wonderful people… I really love Aqours!
Ruby
I hope even those of you who haven't heard of us before will come to love Aqours after this stream.
Player
Ruby…
Ruby
Ah, listen to me rambling on! Aren't the viewers getting bored?
Option 1: “You're such a nice girl.” |
---|
Player They're not bored at all. “Ruby is such a nice girl!”, “Aqours is great, having such a nice girl as a member!”, they're saying. Ruby A n-nice girl?! They're really saying things like that? Well, I'm happy that they think Aqours is great! |
Option 2: “They're moved by your love of Aqours.” |
Player Don't worry. They're all talking about how moved they are by your love of Aqours. I can't even read them all! You're really loved, Ruby! Ruby R-Really?! *Giggle* That's a little embarrassing… But I'm glad. Thank you very much. |
Player
You must be feeling even more motivated to dance now, right, Ruby?
Ruby
Yeah!
Ruby
Now, let the dance begin! I'll do my best to entertain you until the very end!
