Ch. 3 Ep. 4: Go Meet Aqours! 1

You ask Chika and You about the secret to Aqours' performance. It turns out they're looking for the same thing you are, so you think about why everyone shines. The next day, Chika brings you to meet Mari, Dia, and Kanan.

Chika

This is our school. Wait, you already came here yesterday, right?

Player

Yeah.

Player

(This is Aqours' school. I can finally meet all of them today.)

Player

(I'm so nervous…)

Chika

It seems like Kanan and the other third-years are in their classroom, so let's go see them first. They probably know more about Aqours.

Player

Why's that?

Chika

The third-years started Aqours. They might be able to tell you something about Aqours' charm.

[Fade in/out.]

Chika

We're here! Morning Kanan, Dia, Mari.

Kanan

Chika. Good morning.

Dia

Chika, you should at least excuse yourself when entering a classroom that is not your own.

Mari

Yeah, yeah, yeah! Save the scolding for laterrrrr! Good morning, Chika-chi!

Mari

And you…must be the rainbow student I heard about! Nice to meet you!

Player

R-Rainbow?!

Kanan

Mari, don't give out weird nicknames like that. You'll catch people off guard.

Mari

Whoops, sorry!

Chika

Did you say rainbow because of the “Niji” in Nijigasaki?

Kanan

Sorry for all this. This is her default, so don't worry about it.

Player

R-Right…

Player

Um, nice to meet you. I'm–

Dia

Chika has informed us. I heard you traveled all the way from Tokyo to meet us. It must have been a long journey. Thank you for coming, and welcome.

Player

O-Oh, I'm just happy to finally meet you!

Mari

If fans are coming to see us outside of our shows, we must have really hit the big time!

Dia

That's very arrogant of you, Mari. Popularity is a living thing. It's always changing.

Dia

We must not sit still but continuously strive–

Kanan

*Sigh* Once Dia gets going…

Chika

Yep, it's a given now.

[Fade in/out.]

Kanan

Anyway, Chika told us you had some questions you wanted to ask?

Player

Yes. I wanted to ask you all about Aqours' charm!

Player

I was so moved when I saw your performance with ÎĽ's. That show really got me into school idols.

Player

I want to know the kind of charm one needs to put on such a wonderful show.

Player

I came here because I wanted to know just how you do it.

Mari

Oh my gosh! What a passionate confession of love! I wish I recorded it!

Player

Uhhh…

Dia

We are very honored you would say such generous things about our performance.

Kanan

Yeah. It makes it feel like all those days of tough practice and training have paid off.

Kanan

But the charm of Aqours, huh? That's a tough one.

Dia

To be honest, I don't think we have a clear answer ourselves. We're always looking for our strengths and ways to let our fans enjoy themselves.

Mari

You said you were moved by our performance, but what specifically made you feel that way?

Player

All of it! That's not specific at all, I know, but your singing, your dancing, your smiles, it's all so amazing. It wasn't just that, either. Well…

Kanan

Yeah, we want to know what comes after that “well,” too.

Dia

Does that mean our audience understands? Yet, if we can't understand and consciously express it…

Mari

How about this? Stick around with us. Watch us up close and you might notice something we don't!

Player

Hang around you guys? Can I?

Mari

Of course! You can help with the Summer Festival prep, too. What do you say?

Dia

Mari! We couldn't impose such a–

Mari

But Dia, you were just whining that you wanted any help you could get!

Dia

I was not whining, I'll have you know! We could use some extra help, though.

Player

I'll do it! I want to help!

Kanan

Thanks. This is great, we've been so incredibly busy.

Dia

Thank you very much for your help.

Player

Sure thing!

Chika

All right! We can hang out so much now!

Kanan

Right. If you're helping with the festival, you'll be here for a few days. You already stayed one night, but do you have a place to stay for a while?

Mari

If you need a place to stay, how about Hotel Ohara? I'll give you a special deal!

Chika

Heh-heh-heh! Oh, Mariii.

Mari

Yes, Chika-chi?

Chika

Our visitor here is already a guest of Tochiman Inn!

Mari

What?!

Player

After we went to Chika's ryokan yesterday, I ended up reserving a room.

Mari

Oh, no! You did?

Player

S-Sorry…

Mari

No worries! Stay at our place next time you come to Numazu!

Player

Sure thing!
