Ch. 40 Ep. 1: Extra Extras!
Aqours are preparing for their live show in Numazu, and they have started working on a pamphlet to hand out to everyone who comes to watch their show.
Chika
Gaaah! I've been trying so hard to fit it all on one page, but I just can't!
You
Yeah? Let me have a look.
You
Whoa! Your handwriting is so intense!
Riko
Yes. It's very impactful!
Chika
Hey, don't look at that! C'mon, you two, I could really use some help here!
Mari
There's no reason to limit yourself to one page, Chika-chi! You should write as many pages as you feel like!
Dia
Unfortunately not, Mari. The pamphlet will end up as thick as a dictionary.
Hanamaru
I'd be really happy with that! It'd be packed with so much info that's worth reading, zura!
Ruby
But we're handing it out to people who come to see the live show, right? If it's too thick, it'll be a pain to take home.
Kanan
Exactly. But I do get where Chika's coming from. One page per person doesn't feel like enough to me either.
Mari
Hmm… How about three pages per person, then?
Yoshiko
That'll be enough for me to create a masterpiece!
Yoshiko
I'll include a sketch of myself as the great fallen angel, along with my message to my little demons. Mwahaha.
Dia
In that case, I'd like to include some hidden places of interest and restaurant recommendations for first-time visitors to Numazu!
Dia
After all, they've made the effort to travel all the way there. I want them to get the most out of their trip, even after the live show.
Hanamaru
Dia, that's a great idea, zura! Then, I'll write a bit about Numazu's history for them too!
Ruby
Maybe the pamphlet can be our way to showcase the many charms of Numazu! I'd love to write something like that too!
Chika
Me too! But there's just one problem!
Chika
I'm not so sure three pages will be enough for me to write everything I want to!
Riko
Don't worry. I'll help collate it all with You, so just do your best, Chika!
You
Hm? Oh no! It's already time for the live stream!
Kanan
You're right! The ÎĽ's live stream is going to start any moment!
[Fade in/out.]
Maki
…And that's how it went down.
Nozomi
Yeah, that sounds like Nico-chi.
Rin
Yep, that's just how it is with her!
Nico
Ohhh, what could you possibly mean? You're going to have to spell it out for me!
Umi
That level of professionalism is always so inspiring to see…
Nico
But seriouslyyy, what do you mean by that? I'm aaalways like that, right? Right?
Kotori
Oh, hey! We need to talk about Aqours. Right, Honoka?
Honoka
Yes! That's right!
Honoka
Did you all see the Aqours promo video?! It was amazing, wasn't it?!
Honoka
I've watched it a ton of times already and it still gets me so excited!
Hanayo
Yep! And if you watch it right before going to bed, it'll make you have nice dreams!
Eli
If there's anyone out there who hasn't watched it yet, be sure to search “Aqours School Idol Exhibition”!
Eli
I'm sure you'll be enthralled by their fantastic performance.
Kotori
Yeah! And hey, did you guys know that all of Aqours are putting on a big live show in Numazu soon?!
Umi
Yes. It's already a hot topic among school idol fans, especially online.
Honoka
I'm already sooo excited! I can't wait!
Rin
Same here!
Eli
I'd love to go see them too!
[Fade in/out.]
Hanamaru
Eep! Now they're talking about us…!
Dia
I can't believe Elichika's— I mean, Eli is— I mean, Elichika— Eli? Elichika?!
Ruby
C-Calm down, Dia.
Kanan
I can't believe μ's would mention us on their live stream…
Mari
Now way more people are going to come to our live show for sure! We have to make this the best one yet!
Yoshiko
Mwahaha. It's only natural, considering how much attention Aqours are getting these days!
You
Things have taken a wild turn…
Riko
I've been in a constant state of shock ever since we got asked to do the live show.
Chika
Nnngh…
Chika
Now I'm REALLY fired up!
Chika
Maybe it's okay to make that pamphlet as thick as a dictionary after all!
Chika
And let's make more time for extra practices!
Kanan
What?! But you were so tired after the last one.
Chika
Don't you worry, I can take it! I just have to put my mind to it!
Chika
I mean, did you hear all the nice stuff ÎĽ's said about us?!
Chika
And the Nijigasaki girls will be there, too. I want to show all of them what Aqours are made of!
Chika
Let's smash everyone's expectations with this show!
