Ch. 35 Ep. 4: Pursuing That Dream!
The day after Yoshiko successfully completes her Aqours Challenge by obtaining the goddess statue, Aqours receives an unexpected public relations request.
Hanamaru
Ruby, what are you watching?
Ruby
The video of the third years at the contest in Tokyo.
Yoshiko
Come on, how many times are you going to watch that?
Ruby
It doesn't matter. It won't be nearly enough.
Ruby
Oh, my sister is so amazing!
Hanamaru
You're a big fan of Dia, aren't you, Ruby?
Ruby
Yeah, and I have been since foreeever!
Yoshiko
Huh?
Ruby
I've admired Dia for the longest time.
Ruby
She studies and practices so diligently, and she's really strict when it comes to right or wrong.
Ruby
She scolds me when I mess up, but when I do my best she praises me a bunch.
Hanamaru
Dia never changes, zura.
Ruby
That's right! She has her student council president duties but still puts all her effort into being a school idol and handles any training, no matter how tough. She's amazing!
Yoshiko
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Ruby
I wanna be just like her.
Hanamaru
Sure, Dia is great, but I think you are too, zura!
Yoshiko
You're my cute little demon, Ruby.
Ruby
Hehe. Thank you! Both of you!
[Fade in/out.]
Mari
Everyone! We just got a request to be promotional ambassadors!
You
Promotional ambassadors?!
Yoshiko
Wait, what?
Dia
Mari, you simply must explain this sort of thing from the beginning.
Dia
To be specific, Aqours received a request from Izu Mito Sea Paradise.
Dia
They would like for us to act as promotional ambassadors on the weekends for the duration of one month.
Mari
Straight to the point. Obviously we're going to do it, right?!
Chika
That's amazing! This has to be because more people know who Aqours is!
Riko
Which might be a result of those articles on the school idol fan site.
Hanamaru
We should call the Prez and say thank you.
Kanan
Mito Sea promotional ambassadors, huh? We'd better start thinking of things that would make people want to visit.
Ruby
Why don't we think about being aquarium guides?
Dia
That would be lovely. It felt wonderful to show visitors around during the Summer Festival.
Hanamaru
Okay! I'll look up a bunch of things again, zura!
Yoshiko
What about something like a nighttime Mito Sea stroll with a fallen angel?
Chika
An aquarium at night? That's brilliant! I want to help show visitors around too!
Yoshiko
The atmosphere would go in a totally different direction with you there, Chika!
Riko
I wonder what I can do…
You
Riko, why don't you play the piano during the dolphin show? You could do a live performance of the music they've played at the show before!
Riko
Oh, I would love to!
Kanan
I'd like to try feeding the animals with everyone.
Mari
I want to be in the dolphin show!
Chika
How about a tour around the fish tanks with Aqours?
Dia
As tour guides, it may be sensible to make flags that we can use to direct people.
Mari
*Giggle* We're bursting with ideas! It's great to have everyone on board for this project!
Chika
You betcha!
Kanan
I want to do my fair share, but right now we have so much to do. Do you think it will be okay?
Dia
I have the same concern as well. We also have the School Idol Exhibition video to film and the Aqours Challenges to consider, after all.
Mari
Yeah… So, why don't we pick a leader for the ambassadorship? We can put her in the thick of it and go from there.
You
Yeah, that's a good idea. We should have a leader.
Dia
Well then, who shall it be?
Ruby
U-Um!
Dia
Yes, Ruby? What is it?
Ruby
…I'd like to be the promotional ambassador leader.
Ruby
I want to be someone reliable who can guide everyone, just like you.
Ruby
…No, I WILL be! Let me try being the leader for my Aqours Challenge! Please!
Mari
Excellent! Being able to take charge is a crucial aspect of leadership, Ruby!
Ruby
You'll… You'll let me?
You
We're counting on you, Ruby!
[Fade in/out. On the phone.]
Ruby
…And so, it's a bit sudden, but that's what my Aqours Challenge is.
Player
That's great! You must be really motivated to be the promotional ambassador leader!
Ruby
Eheheh… Dia is a little worried about me, though.
Ruby
But even so, I really want to succeed at this challenge!
Player
I'm behind you all the way. Give it your all, Ruby!
Ruby
I will!
