Ch. 18 Ep. 5: Moonlit Barbecue

The μ's and Nijigasaki girls are having the time of their lives playing beach volleyball, swimming in the ocean, and enjoying everything the island has to offer. But, what's for dinner?

Shizuku

This is truly the most beautiful beach I've ever been to. The water is so clear.

Kotori

Look! There's a little fish swimming between my ankles. So cute!

Honoka

Kotori, Shizuku, I found this really funny creature. Wanna come see?

Shizuku

What kind of funny creature is it?

Honoka

Heh heh heh. It. Is. A…

Kotori

Eek! H-H-Honoka! In your hand, that's a…

Honoka

Ta-dah! A giant crab!

Shizuku

EEEEEEEK!

Umi

Honoka, stop it!

Honoka

Huh? What? It isn't cute?

Umi

Everyone has a different reaction to everything, especially to creatures like that!

Honoka

R-Really?! Oh no! I'm so sorry!

[Fade in/out.]

Ayumu

Oh, it's starting to get really dark.

Setsuna

You're right. I was having such a good time that I didn't even notice.

Ayumu

Now that I realize the sun went down, I'm getting hungry.

Setsuna

Didn't they say our dinner plans were…

Kanata

Food's ready, everyone!

Eli

Come on, that's enough beach time for today.

Rina

We're having barbecue. Rina-chan Board says, “Woo-hoo!”

Honoka

Yay! It looks so good.

Kanata

Hanayo made us a whole mountain of rice balls to go with it.

Hanayo

Did I make a few too many?

Emma

I'm starving! Can we eat?

Rin

Hurry, hurry, before I waste away!

Eli

All right, let's eat while it's hot.

Everyone

Thanks for the barbecue!

Kasumi

*Chomp* Yum! It's delicious!

Shioriko

This is the most delicious barbecue I've ever had. Was the meat expensive?

Kanata

Nope. It's just the regular kind they sell in grocery stores, but I made sure to cook it just right so it'd be nice and tender.

Shioriko

Still, it's wonderful that you were able to bring out the flavor like this. It's no wonder you're a scholarship student. You must know some wonderful techniques.

Kanata

It's really not all that amazing. Oh, but I am using a bit of magic that always works. It's the magic of…enjoying our food outside with everyone!

Hanayo

Yeah! Eating together makes normal, everyday food taste a hundred times better!

Shizuku

*Giggle* Shioriko, remember when you said at school that eating lunch with everyone makes it taste better? This is like the upgraded version of that. Does that make sense?

Shioriko

Oh, that makes a lot of sense. This is so different from when I used to eat alone in the student council office. It's really, really good.

Ayumu

*Chuckle* Shioriko, the meat is going to be gone soon if you don't go in for seconds.

Shioriko

Huh?! I-Is it that fierce of a competition?

Kanata

*Laugh* No worries, there's plenty more!

Shioriko

O-Oh, that's a relief.

Kasumi

Shioko, have a green pepper.

Shioriko

And I'll pass it right back to you. Don't be such a picky eater, and eat everything on your plate.

Kasumi

Urgh. It's not that I can't eat it, I'd just rather not eat too many, you know?

Shioriko

*Giggle* I understand. Then I'll take just this one. *Munch* *Munch*

[Fade in/out.]

Rin

We're sure packing it away.

Nozomi

*Chuckle* Everyone has such healthy appetites.

Nico

Can you blame us? We played on the beach all day, and have this delicious feast in front of us. My chopsticks just move on their own.

Karin

We're going to eat too much today, and that's okay.

Emma

Hey, does anyone want to do some fireworks after dinner? I went and bought a bunch just for today.

Kotori

What?! You brought some, too?

Emma

Oh my gosh, you as well?

Maki

I also bought some.

Nico

Maki, you were a lot more excited than you let on, huh.

Maki

W-Well I didn't exactly say I wasn't excited!

Umi

Since we're here for three nights, there shouldn't be a problem if we save some for tomorrow.

Emma

Yeah, let's do fireworks again tomorrow!

Eli

I'm glad to see you're having fun, but don't forget we came here for a training camp.

Ai

We know! Why do you think I'm squirrelin' away all this healthy food? 'Cause I wanna be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in the morning! *Laugh*

Kasumi

Ai stays the same wherever she goes.

Setsuna

I'm all refreshed, so I can give way over 120% tomorrow.

Eli

That's what I like to hear. Tomorrow, we level up!

Hanayo

I'd better recharge my energy for tomorrow. Ten rice balls, please!
