Ch. 4 Ep. 5: A Faint Hope

The first day of the festival is canceled by a typhoon. Still keeping hope for the next day, you and Aqours make ten teru teru bozu dolls. Will your prayers get through?

Chika

Everyone! Wake up, wake up!

Everyone

Wah?!

Ruby

Eeek!

Hanamaru

Zura?!

Dia

Wh-What is it?!

Ruby

It's only 5:30 in the morning.

Player

Chika, what's going on?

[Fade in/out.]

Chika

Everyone, look outside! Look!

Riko

Whoa, it's so bright. Huh?

You

The sky is blue. Wait, then where's the typhoon?

Kanan

Hold on a sec! Turn on the weather!

[Fade in/out.]

Announcer

The typhoon passed over the Kanto region last night and went out to the Pacific Ocean as of this morning. It is expected to weaken over–

You

All right! The typhoon passed over us!

Yoshiko

Muahahaha! See that, heavenly father?! My power is so great, even a typhoon runs in fear from me! Tears from the heavens and riotous winds have no effect on the great Yohane!

Ruby

I'm sure the teru teru bozu dolls worked! Our wishes and prayers reached God's ears!

Hanamaru

It's a miracle, zura! Maybe now we can still have the festival today!

Mari

The Festival Committee still hasn't contacted me, but I think they will soon.

Dia

Shall we get dressed and get ready then? We should be prepared to move at a moment's notice.

Everyone

Yeah!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

What a beautiful blue sky. I guess this only happens after a storm passes.

Riko

The weather kept saying it was going to be bad on Saturday and Sunday. I guess they're wrong sometimes, too.

Mari

Everyone! I just got a call from the Summer Festival Committee.

Chika

Mari, what did they say?!

Mari

Today is canceled too, apparently.

Everyone

…

Chika

Wh-Why? It's beautiful outside! It's not even that windy!

Mari

The weather isn't the problem. The wind and rain from last night scattered branches and garbage everywhere, so they had to cancel.

Dia

It seems like the decorations, food carts, and even the special stage are damaged.

Chika

But it's so beautiful outside. How could the town and the venue turn out like this?

Ruby

Oh no… So if we don't do anything, it's all over?

Chika

Mari… Is the festival canceled 100%?

Mari

Yes. They're going to make an official announcement soon. Everyone is going to clean up the town and pack up instead.

Chika

This can't be happening.

Riko

They're going to take down everything without using it. I don't like it.

Hanamaru

What a shame, zura. I wanted everyone to hear that tourist info skit.

Player

Wait, if they haven't made the announcement yet, then no one in town knows it's canceled, right?

Player

If we can get the whole town to take everything down and clean up, then can't we get everyone to fix the festival venue instead?

Everyone

!!

Dia

Wait a moment. It's unfortunate the festival is canceled, but we can't get everything fixed so quickly.

Kanan

If we're talking about can and can't, I think we can. We have enough people.

Yoshiko

It's possible that if people are willing to take things down, they will be willing to repair, too.

Player

Hey Chika. What do you think?

Chika

M-Me?

Player

You said yourself that we have to do everything we can. That we shouldn't give up hope until the very end.

Player

There's still hope. Chika, are you going to give up?

Riko

Chika…

You

Chika, what will you do?

Chika

…

Chika

No. I don't want to give up yet.

Player

Chika…!

Chika

We worked so hard to prepare for the festival. The last thing I want is for it all to be for nothing! I want to have this festival!

Mari

That's what I was waiting to hear, Chika-chi.

Chika

M-Mari!

Dia

Not only Chika, but you too. You both are impossible.

Kanan

I like it, though!

You

The typhoon did its thing in one day. I'm sure we can do our thing with the festival too.

Riko

Today is going to get really busy. Picking up trash, repairing decorations and the stage. Is there something we can do with the stage?

Hanamaru

If we're going to work a lot, we better eat, zura!

Yoshiko

I thought you would say that. However, I must agree with you this time. Yohane must recharge the power she used creating this wonderful weather.

Ruby

I'll do my very, very Rubesty today, too!

Mari

All right, then. Now we need to convince the Festival Committee. It'll be a great opportunity to show my negotiating skills.

Player

I'm sure it will be fine. I have a feeling a future, bright with smiles, is waiting for us.
