Ch. 18 Ep. 2: Let's Make a Plan!
The members of Nijigasaki have decided to do a joint training camp with ÎĽ's. They get a call from Nico about meeting to discuss what they need to prepare.
Honoka
We need to work out the schedule for the ÎĽ's and Nijigasaki Joint Training Camp! So, what do you wanna do?
Shioriko
Excuse me, but will Aqours not be joining us?
Kotori
We asked, but their schedule is full, so they can't make it.
Hanayo
Apparently, it's right when they start recording the video for their new song.
Shioriko
I see. That's a shame.
Rin
It's totally okay! We'll have other chances.
Nico
So, listen up. The ten of us here right now are in charge of the training camp schedule. Let's plan a trip that feels really worthwhile!
Rina
I got this. Rina-chan Board says, “Serious!”
Shizuku
First things first, we need to find a place where we can all stay, correct? Anywhere you have in mind? We decided to do a training camp, but haven't discussed where, yet…
Rin
That part is settled! An island! We're going on an island survival trip.
Kasumi
Island…survival?!
Rin
Yep! We'll make a shelter out of logs and grass, then go fishing for dinner!
Kasumi
*Whine* I'm a delicate girl, so I'd rather not rough it like that.
Rin
Rough it? But it'd be so much fun.
Kasumi
I couldn't handle my beautiful skin being marred by bug bites!
Rin
All you have to do is put ointment on them! You don't get to have adventures like this every day!
Shioriko
Rin, as Nijigasaki's student council president, I can't approve of a place that would make our families worry.
Rin
Awww…
Ai
But still, going to an island sounds awesome. That's still an adventure!
Shizuku
Are there places to stay on that island?
Hanayo
Yeah, Maki's parents know someone that will let us use their vacation home.
Shioriko
We should have a proper place to stay, then? That's quite a relief.
Kasumi
Since we're going to an island, that means the beach, right? Can we go swimming?
Nico
Of course! Apparently the water there is a beautiful cobalt blue.
Shizuku
Now I'm really excited!
Rina
The clear blue sea… That's exciting. Rina-chan Board says, “Woo-hoo!”
Nico
Remember that we're going on this trip to improve our skills. Playing around will come second to that.
Kasumi
We know. But it's much easier to put everything we've got into practicing if there's a reward at the end.
Ai
Yeah! You can say that again.
Honoka
This is going to be a blast! Oh yeah, is everyone all right with spending three nights there?
Shioriko
Not a problem.
Ai
Shio-ti already got the paperwork taken care of at school, so we're all good to go.
Shizuku
Four days and three nights should give us lots of time to practice.
Rin
Yup yup! And do a bunch of other stuff too… *Giggle*
Rina
What other stuff?
Rin
Like pitching tents and pretending we're on a deserted island, fishing, picking fruit…
Nico
We already said no to that! What do you think we're staying in someone's vacation home for?
Shioriko
Rin, wouldn't a barbecue be a better way for us to enjoy nature?
Rin
A barbecue! That's a great idea!
Hanayo
Meat! I'll make lots of rice balls to have with the yummy barbecue. Oh, and we'll need to bring bread for Emma!
Honoka
I'll get us a bunch!
Rina
Just thinking about it is making me hungry.
Ai
Ghost stories and dares are also an essential part of summer training camps.
Kasumi
Ghost s-stories?! I-I think we'll be fine without them. Fireworks would be much better!
Kotori
Ooh, fireworks! Great idea. We'd better buy lots of those.
Shioriko
Everyone, we keep getting off track. Don't lose sight of our goal, all right?
Ai
Lighten up, Shio-ti! I'll make sure to bring beach balls and inner tubes along!
Nico
I think that's enough playtime planning for now. Let's get to the next main point.
Shizuku
There's another?
Nico
Heh heh heh. You could call this the secret mission of our training camp. It's the reason I specifically called you all here.
Shioriko
I've got a bad feeling.
Nico
I've drawn up a perfect plan here. Heh heh, I'm so excited to see their reaction.
Rina
She's making an evil face…
