Ch. 37 Ep. 8: A United Nijigasaki?
While the second-years' passionate outdoors video is being made, the Nijigasaki promo video grows steadily closer to completion. How does it look when all those flawless clips are put into place?
Lanzhu
Indeed! Our introductory video is sure to be a huge hit!
Ai
I really hope that it kickstarts an interest in the outdoors for everyone.
Player
Yeah. It'd be fun if we could hold a live show or something by campfire light.
Setsuna
I love that idea! We should make sure to put in a long campfire scene in that case.
Lanzhu
Wait! You mustn't forget to include my epic fish-catching moment!
Ayumu
You prepared the bait all by yourself, didn't you? Weren't you grossed out?
Lanzhu
N-Not in the slightest! I'll show you how to do it sometime!
Lanzhu
It's easy as pie so long as you grit your teeth and close your eyes!
Ai
No way. It's dangerous to mess around with fishing hooks with your eyes closed!
Lanzhu
That's true, I suppose…
Lanzhu
Fair enough. I will practice hooking my bait by myself so that I can teach Ayumu! You help too, Ai!
Ai
You can count on me whenever!
Kasumi
Ooh! Is this footage for the school idol fansite?
Emma
Look how huge that slab of meat is! My mouth is watering…
Kanata
Gosh, there are so many rare wildflowers.
Ayumu
We only managed to find these because Setsuna showed us how.
Karin
That's awesome, Setsuna.
Ai
Yeah, Setsu put together this whole comprehensive camping guide in her notebook for the trip! It helped everything go swimmingly.
Shizuku
Gosh, look how pretty that starry sky is…
Mia
Beautiful. It reminds me of the deserted island training camp we did.
Shioriko
What did it feel like to spend time in a tent?
Rina
I'm intrigued by that too. I'd love to try it for myself.
Player
The tent was amazing! It felt kind of like we were on an adventure.
Kasumi
Whoa! I'm so jealous! I wanna go on an adventure with the Prez too!
Ayumu
Hee hee. Next time we'll take you along for sure.
Rina
Oh yeah… There's something I want you guys to see.
Player
What is it?
Rina
Our video. I tried editing all the footage that everyone gave us together. Take a look.
Emma
…Wow. Everyone's amazing in this!
Shizuku
It looks so magnificent to have this many people doing our dance.
Kanata
And the movements match perfectly!
Karin
This is something else… We've seriously got to up our game too.
Player
Huh? Doesn't this have some clips in it that are different from the ones we received at first?
Player
I feel like in the first videos we got, the clubs and council each had a bit more variation in their formations…
Rina
Yeah. We were asked to replace some of the footage.
Rina
They said if they're starring in this video as representatives of Nijigasaki, they'd rather try to dance like school idols even if they can't fully manage it.
Ai
What? You mean that even after submitting their videos they kept on practicing the dance?!
Ai
Wooow! That's fantastic!
Kasumi
That's how serious they were about doing this, huh. I guess it's a good thing that we went through the dance with them so many times!
Basketball Club Captain
Sorry, can I talk to you guys for a moment?
Lanzhu
Hm? What's the matter?
Basketball Club Captain
It's about the Basketball Club's dance portion for the promo video. I'd like you to replace our part with this.
Player
Huh?
Basketball Club Captain
Everyone wanted to know if we couldn't get just a tiny bit better at the dance. Will you take a look?
Kasumi
Huuuh?! Th-This dancing…
Mia
It's excellent!
Kanata
You guys got so good!
Emma
We'll have to raise our own dancing standards even more, apparently!
Setsuna
Yes, we can't let the School Idol Club fall behind the other clubs at the school!
Player
(What's with this weird feeling…?)
(I know all the school clubs and the council worked as hard as they could. So I guess they all tried to perfect their form since they're starring in the video…)
(And now there's a real sense of unity across Nijigasaki, since they all perfected their moves like school idols would.)
(Plus, I feel that creating a promo video with such unity across so many people isn't something we can pull off every day.)
(It shouldn't feel like there's anything wrong…)
(But then why did the first videos I saw, where they were much more awkward, leave a longer-lasting impression on me?)
Ayumu
What's wrong?
Player
Hm? Oh… I was shocked by how perfectly they danced, that's all! Yeah, it looks incredible!
Ayumu
I see… Well, okay then.
