Ch. 23 Ep. 6: Preparing Together
Setsuna, Kasumi, Shizuku, and Rina agree to participate in the joint event, and Ayumu, Kanata, and Emma will assist. Not wanting the Association to do all the prep work, the Club members head straight over to help after practice.
Shioriko
Right this way.
Player
Hello. Thank you for having us.
Kasumi
This is the School Idol Association's clubroom?! Why is it so fancy and extravagant?!
Shizuku
I was pretty surprised when I first saw it as well.
Rina
It's like a hotel.
Kanata
Wow, this is really incredible. I wanna take an afternoon nap on this sofa…
Kasumi
This isn't what club budgets should be spent on! Don't you agree, Setsuna?!
Setsuna
This place is like some kind of base! I'm so excited!
Kasumi
Don't be!
Lanzhu
Hmm? So much commotion…
Lanzhu
*Squeal* It's everyone from the Club! What's up?! What are you all doing here?
Lanzhu
I know! I bet you've stopped being so stubborn and are finally ready to join my Association, right?
Lanzhu
That's the correct decision to make. I welcome you all!
Ayumu
Um, sorry to break it to you after the warm welcome, but today…
Player
We've come to help Ai out.
Lanzhu
Oh, what? You're here too? Your presence is so insignificant that you didn't even ping my radar.
Player
Ahaha…
Lanzhu
We don't need your help. I have the best event staff around, so we don't need an amateur like you helping out.
Lanzhu
Run along home now if I've made myself clear.
Lanzhu
Kasumi and the others can stay, though. I'll prepare some tasty yum cha for all of you right now.
Kasumi
Kanata's got the tasty food covered, so we don't need any of yours. I have bread rolls with me anyway!
Lanzhu
What?! I want to eat your bread rolls too!
Kasumi
The nerve of you.
Lanzhu
I mean, the absolutely adorable Kasumi made them, right? There's no way I wouldn't want to eat anything you make!
Kasumi
G-Geez! Flattery will get you nowhere, you hear me?!
Ai
Oh, you're here! I'm really having trouble gathering my thoughts together without all of your opinions. You're all lifesavers!
Lanzhu
Ai! If this is about the event, you can let our staff members handle it. We've got the best in the business!
Ai
Yeah, I know. It's just that I want the event to be, I dunno, cozier?
Ai
And it'd be fairer for us to work together on this since it's a joint event, right?
Lanzhu
I suppose, if you insist.
[Fade in/out.]
Mia
She really is here.
Karin
See? I told you.
Lanzhu
I don't see you come out of your songwriting booth very often, Mia.
Mia
I heard that Rina was here.
Rina
Mia! I've missed you!
Mia
Me too, Rina. I had fun playing against you when we were gaming yesterday.
Rina
I wanna do co-op with you next time. Rina-chan Board says, “Woo-hoo!”
Mia
That sounds good. What do you wanna play?
Kanata
*Giggle* They're like two peas in a pod now.
Ayumu
Seeing them just makes me smile.
Karin
Hey, where's Emma?
Shizuku
She had other plans today so she went home.
Karin
I see…
Ai
Emma-chi's not here? That's a bummer.
Ai
I'll get the meeting started with everyone we have here today then, if you don't mind!
Ai
So, I've thought of a draft proposal, but it'd be great to have everyone's input since I want to make this an event where everyone has fun. Tell me what you guys wanna do.
Setsuna
This whole atmosphere kinda makes me think back to the School Idol Festival.
Ai
Yeah, that's the kind of thing I'm aiming to… Oh, I know! Could we get everyone in the school to help out like they did for the School Idol Festival?
Shioriko
That's a great idea. I think the whole school would be filled with excitement that way.
Player
Then I'll talk to the presidents of all of the clubs.
Ai
I'll leave that in your trusty hands! Thanks.
Karin
How do we judge the results?
Rina
We'll also need a host to keep the proceedings going. Having someone commentate and explain would make it more fun, too.
Ayumu
Maybe we could ask the girls in μ's or Aqours?
Ai
Oooh! That's an awesome idea! I'm wrangling that one in!
Lanzhu
What is this? Why are they having so much fun without me?
Ai
I don't think we'll figure all of this out right away. Lanzhu, sorry to bother you, but could you get us something to drink?
Lanzhu
L-Leave it to me! I'll bring out the most delicious tea in the world!
