Ch. 34 Ep. 1: The Usual View
The school idol fansite has decided to run a campaign for Aqours. You head over to Uchiura to tell them the news, but who greets you when you arrive at the clubroom?
Player
It's been a while since I last came to Uranohoshi. I wonder if all the Aqours girls are doing well.
Player
I'm here pretty early, though…
Player
I know! I'll surprise them!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Hello, hello! How are you guys?
Player
…Huh? No one's here.
[Fade in/out.]
Yoshimi
Um. Are you here to see Aqours, by any chance?
Player
Oh. Yes, I am. It looks like I came at the wrong time, though.
Itsuki
Wait. You've been here before, haven't you? I believe I remember you from that time before the festival…
Player
Yes, that was me! Were you the girls who suggested I go and see the ocean?
Mutsu
And that was us! Gosh, I'm so glad we got to see each other again!
Player
Thank you so much for that! I happened to cross paths with Riko when I went over to the beach to admire the view.
Itsuki
Oh, yes! We know because the festival was a success thanks to your assistance.
Player
Not at all. That was because of Aqours, everyone in Uchiura, and all the people who came to the festival to have fun.
Yoshimi
There you go being modest again! Chika and the others told us the whole story.
Mutsu
I know it's a bit late, but please let us show our gratitude. Thank you for your help!
Player
And I should be thanking you for letting me be a part of such a wonderful festival. I learned a lot from that experience.
Player
I realized just how much the people of Uchiura love Aqours, and it inspired me with the hope that the School Idol Club back at Nijigasaki could grow to be just like them.
Yoshimi
*Chuckle* You're right about that! We're so proud of Aqours!
Itsuki
They might be at the beach again today, so I think you'll find them if you go there.
Player
I'll head over right now. Thank you!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
(I'm having all kinds of flashbacks from when I came here for the first time…)
Player
(I rushed over here with no plans, and there wasn't a soul in the clubroom. I decided to at least go and admire the ocean and happened to meet Riko…)
Player
(I appeared out of nowhere, yet all of the Aqours girls welcomed me with open arms.)
Player
(Gahhh! I just wanna see everyone in Aqours already! The more I think about it, the more I'm itching to see them!)
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Ahhh, it feels so nice out here!
Player
Um, where's Aqours…? Oh! There they are! I kind of love how they gather like that. I bet they're always meeting up like this.
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Hey, guys! Long time no see!
Chika
Oh my gosh! You're already here?!
You
You should've let us know if you got here early! We would've gone over to pick you up!
Kanan
This is just like the first time we met you. You appeared out of nowhere back then too.
Player
*Chuckle* You remember?
Riko
I definitely remember, especially since you gave me such a fright.
Mari
There was that whole thing where she latched on to Riko, telling her not to do it, right?
Player
I guess that did happen…
Player
A-Anyway, enough about that. What were you guys all talking about?
Ruby
Our promo video for the School Idol Exhibition.
Chika
ÎĽ's' video was amazing, right?! We've all been discussing what we should do for our promo video after watching theirs, but we can't quite nail anything down.
Yoshiko
I keep telling you guys, our theme should be a fallen angel banquet!
Hanamaru
We're supposed to make a promo video as representatives of our school so I don't think that's the best idea, zura.
Yoshiko
But why not? I think it's a great idea!
Kanan
Let's decide on a song first. What should we choose?
Dia
Indeed. I also believe it would be easier to envision the overall picture if we do that first.
Chika
But which song should we pick? It's too hard to decide!
You
C'mon, we've been stuck in this back and forth this whole time. We're just going around and around in circles.
Player
So you guys have been mulling over your promo video too, huh…
Player
We're in the same boat back at Nijigasaki. Everyone in the club is really racking their brains.
Ruby
The Nijigasaki girls are too?
Player
Yep. They were already in multiple minds about their promo video, but then they got even more worked up because of how amazing ÎĽ's' was. Progress is minimal at best.
Chika
Yeah, that “START: DASH!!” promo video sure was something…
Kanan
For sure. It tugged at the heartstrings, while still having enough vigor to inspire…
Hanamaru
It was a world only ÎĽ's is capable of creating, zuraaa!
You
We got really motivated by it too, right?!
Dia
Very much so. And that's precisely why we must also make the best video there ever was, without any compromises.
Mari
Hey! There's so much I want to talk to you about now that you're here!
Player
I've got something I want to talk to you guys about too.
Mari
Okay! Then let's head somewhere else!
