Hey, Ruby!

Oh! You came!

Yep! I enjoyed a bunch of the stuff on offer first.

I went on the fish-watching with Aqours tour and did the fish-feeding experience as well.

And Ruby, your announcements were perfect!

You wrote them with Hanamaru, right? You even touched on the history of Mito Sea. It was really something.

Thank you. I'll tell Hanamaru you said that too.

Oh! I need to go to the next spot soon!

Wait! Um, there are some kids who want to meet you, so…

Huh?

The kids that I was feeding the fish with told me that they came from Nagoya just to see Aqours as the promotional ambassadors.

They did?!

Look, those kids over there. If you don't mind, would you go talk to them for just a minute?

S-Sure…

[Fade in/out.]

Th-That was sooo embarrassing!

Ahaha! A lot of people sure did gather over there.

Yeah. And they weren't just from Nagoya, they came from all over the place!

It's all because of your help with the promotional ambassadorship!

Yeah! I have to try even harder to make sure they can have as much fun as possible!

R-Rubyyy! We've got a big problem!

Chika?!

[Fade in/out.]

Mari's late?!

Yeah. I got the call just a second ago…

She was trying really hard to make it in time for the dolphin show, but I guess her family business isn't finished yet.

I see…

Riko, you're set to play piano for the dolphin show, but might it be possible for you to take Mari's place before the visitors?

I-I wonder if I can…

Ugh, but it won't be an Aqours dolphin show without Riko playing the piano.

Exactly. Riko has to play the piano.

Yoshiko and I have to go to the fish-feeding right after this, zura.

And I've got the fish tank tour, too.

I see…

…Just leave it to me!

My task is to go around and make sure that everyone's jobs are going smoothly, so I have the time.

Besides, I remember the whole program so I think I can do it.

No, I know I can do it!

So everyone, please. Let me handle it!

We're the ones who should be saying “please,” Ruby.

Indeed. I expect great things from you, Ruby!

[Fade in/out.]

Great work today, Ruby and Riko! The dolphin show was so much fun!

Thank you. It was a great success.

I was sooo n-n-nervous!

My hands are still shaking.

Huh? Really?! I couldn't tell you were nervous at all from where we were sitting. You did it so confidently!

I was nervous, but I managed to do my best because Riko was with me.

No, I was just keeping pace with you. You did everything perfectly, so we were able to succeed. Thank you, Ruby!

Rikooo!

[Fade in/out.]

Phew. It's somehow…over…

You did a really great job, Ruby.

You looked super cool volunteering to take Mari's place as the lead today. I never would have imagined the regular Ruby doing that.

Th-That was just me copying my sister…

Dia always tells people not to push themselves, but she works way too hard herself. That's just how she is.

No matter what happens, she stands and faces it. So I thought I should too…

Since I look up to her so much.

I see. There are a lot of people who admire you as well though, Ruby.

Huh?

Everyone applauding at the dolphin show was looking at you with really radiant looks on their faces.

Some kids were even saying that they wanted to be like you.

Whaaat?! They were looking at me…?

But if that's true, then I'm really happy.

Okay, I've got to work even harder! I want to think of more plans until the end of the ambassadorship. Will you help me out?

Of course! We're going to make sure that your Aqours Challenge is a huge success!
