Ch. 40 Ep. 4: Kaoruko's Secret Plan
The time has finally come for Aqours' live show! It's this weekend! Everyone is talking about where to meet up in the morning when Kaoruko shows up with a plan.
Player
Aqours' live show is so close!
Setsuna
Yes! It's tomorrow! I feel like I've been waiting forever!
Ai
Let's head out as soon as possible in the morning.
Karin
Sounds good to me. Let's surprise the Aqours girls.
Ai
I'll bring some of my grandma's pickles to invigorate them!
Lanzhu
I'll bring some meat, then!
Ayumu
Um, it might not be a great idea to bring anything that smells or can spoil on the train…
Mia
You guys are way too hyped up. You're acting like little kids.
Emma
*Giggle* Who can blame them? We've all been really excited.
Kasumi
So we're all meeting at Tokyo Station tomorrow, right? What time should we be there?
Shioriko
Let's see…
Kaoruko
Heyooo! Is everyone here?
Kaoruko
We'll be using a Nijigasaki minibus to go to Aqours' live show, so be ready!
Shioriko
Kaoruko?!
Kaoruko
Remember how I said I'd drive so you have to ask the school to let me borrow one?
Shioriko
You never give me enough notice for these kinds of things…
Kaoruko
Sorry, sorry. But it won't be a problem, will it? The school's got enough of them, after all.
Shioriko
I don't think it will be a problem, but we have to follow the proper procedures. Let me check, just in case.
Kaoruko
Okay, thanks!
Rina
A minibus…
Ai
Miss Kaoruko's gonna drive? Niiice!
Kaoruko
Heh heh. I got a license to drive mid-sized vehicles! We'll leave here in the evening and drive all night!
Setsuna
We're all going on an overnight drive?!
Kaoruko
We'll party all evening, then head to a service area for ramen or something in the middle of the night. Sounds like fun, don't you think?!
Ai
That does sound super fun! Just like a school trip!
Kasumi
I'm not skipping my beauty sleep, though! I need to keep my skin in good condition.
Lanzhu
Aww, that's no fun! I wanted to chat with your cute self all night, Kasumi!
Kasumi
I-In that case, I guess I have no choice. You just love me too much, Lanzhu.
Mia
You make it way too easy, Little Puppy.
Kasumi
I am not a puppy!
Ayumu
*Giggle* But it sure does sound fun. Spending all night together sounds just like training camp.
Shizuku
We always get tired and sleep like rocks when we're at a training camp, so I'm looking forward to an evening where we can all stay up together.
Karin
That does sound like a nice change of pace.
Emma
How strange not to hear you worrying about how much sleep you'll get, Karin.
Kanata
That just goes to show you how excited she is about the trip!
Karin
That's right. Even I love the thrill of doing something out of the ordinary, you know.
Player
Are you sure you're okay with this, Kaoruko?
Kaoruko
Yep, definitely! Leave it to me!
Rina
I found a service area with shops that stay open in the middle of the night.
Mia
Oooh, where?
Rina
And I also found a website about different foods to try in the service area.
Kasumi
You're so fast, Rinako!
Lanzhu
Squee! My first visit to a Japanese service area! I wanna try everything!
[Fade in/out. On the phone.]
Player
…So anyway, we're getting driven there.
Chika
Wow. That sounds fun, like a field trip!
Player
How are the live show preparations coming along, Chika?
Chika
Everything's perfect! *Giggle* I can't wait for everyone to see it!
Chika
I feel like we really came out of our shells with that promo video and the fansite project.
Chika
It feels like we're on the cusp of achieving what we've always wanted!
Chika
I'd love for everyone to see how much we've grown at our next live show.
Chika
So I hope you're excited about it!
Player
Oh, yeah! I definitely am. Good luck during the show!
[Putting phone away.]
Player
I really can't wait for Aqours' live show.
Player
Everyone in Aqours has made so much progress. They've grown so much.
