Ch. 12 Ep. 6: The Power of Aqours!

The song Riko has written for the School Idol Festival is a masterpiece. Aqours just can't sit still after hearing the new song and get up extra early for some early-morning practice.

Kanan

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Your movements are getting dull, guys. Use your whole body.

Ruby

O-Okay!

Kanan

One, two, three, four. One, two… Yoshiko, you're breathing really hard. You hit your limit already?

Yoshiko

D-Don't be ridiculous. I am only exerting twenty percent of my true capabilities! In fact, I could descend twice-over!

Hanamaru

I get the twenty percent part, but what the heck does descending mean here?

Kanan

Well, if this is too easy for you, I'll have to put together a special regimen just for you.

Yoshiko

I-If you force me to unleash my full potential, it will spell the end of the world… *Huff* *Wheeze*

Mari

Oh yeah? I'd say Yoshiko would give out before the planet would.

Kanan

All right, all right. Enough chit-chat. You're wasting precious stamina.

Dia

All things considered, you are far more into this than usual.

Kanan

After hearing that beautiful song, who the heck wouldn't be?

Yoshiko

So it's RIKO'S fault we're suffering like this!

Riko

Wh-Why is it my fault?!

You

Well, the song does get you pretty amped up, that's for sure!

Chika

Yup! It's a masterpiece! The kind that only comes around once every century!

Riko

Stop! You're just gonna make it harder for me to write any future songs!

Ruby

We gotta practice real hard so that we do Riko's song justice!

Kanan

Yeah, that's the spirit!

Chika

But practicing on the sand like this is so hard!

Kanan

We're doing it to help build your stamina up too.

Chika

Oh?! Then that means we can get out of running later, right?

Kanan

There's no getting out of that.

Hanamaru

Y-You're a monster, zura!

Ayumu

I had a hunch when I saw Chika head off early in the morning that they might be out doing some intensive training. Turns out I was right.

Ai

Just 'cause we're by the water doesn't mean they have to act so koi. We could use some schooling too!

Kasumi

I can't believe they're up this early… Most people would still be dead asleep right now.

Rina

Kanata's asleep on her feet.

Kanata

*Snore*

Umi

…That's some talent she has there.

Nozomi

Regardless, Aqours sure is amazing.

Rin

Yeah. You can tell how much energy they're putting into their dance moves.

Karin

Not to mention doing it all on the sand. Their core strength must be incredible if they can keep from sliding all over the place.

Rina

It looks real tough…

Kasumi

Don't be such a baby, Rinako!

Shizuku

Oh, do you think you can do that, Kasumi?

Kasumi

Hmm… If that's a yes or no question, I'd have to go with…yesno!

Shizuku

That's not an answer and you know it!

Emma

It's incredible how hard all of Aqours is working. We could really learn a lot from them.

Nico

Yeah, it's definitely praiseworthy to be up this early for practice.

Honoka

I wanna try doing a synchronized dance like that too!

Setsuna

That's the sort of dance that only works if everyone is completely in unison, right?

Kotori

Yeah. You can't do it unless you understand each other completely. They must trust each other a whole lot.

Player

They're not just dancing for themselves, but for all of Aqours. You can totally tell just by watching them.

Ayumu

It just goes to show just how amazing Aqours is.

Player

Just look at them… It'd be a waste not to use this for the promo video. I knew I was right to bring my camera.

Karin

It really is an amazing sight. Just watching them is enough to get me excited too.

Rin

I wanna join in! I wanna practice with everyo…

Hanayo

Ack, Rin! We're supposed to be hiding right now! Hush!

Rin

Aww, whaaat?

Eli

But it is a bit frustrating to watch, too…

Honoka

Yeah, seeing them practice is really lighting a fire in my heart!

Maki

To put it simply, none of us want to lose to them.

Nozomi

Yup, we're school idols as well, after all!

Player

We may all be partners striving for the same goal, but we're also rivals. There's no doubt about that!

Honoka

We're not gonna let them get one over on us! Let's get practicing as well!

Everyone

Yeah!
