Ch. 41 Ep. 2: Elation!

The girls observe Aqours' rehearsal. They see and notice how uncompromising Aqours are right before a live show.

Player

It's Aqours!

Kaoruko

It looks like they're still rehearsing, so be quiet, okay?

Player

O-Okay. The show hasn't even started yet, and my heart's already about to burst from excitement.

Setsuna

So all the Aqours girls are performing here, huh.

Hanayo

We're gonna see Aqours do their thing right here on this stage… Oh, it's so exciting!

Nico

I wonder what kind of performance they're gonna show us!

Honoka

Aww, this is so cool. I hope we also get to perform at a place like this soon.

Eli

First, we've got to really nail down Akihabara as our home turf.

Karin

Okay, then we'll take Odaiba.

Kanata

We've gotta focus more on school idol activities in our local area!

Ayumu

Huh? Did they stop rehearsing?

Shizuku

Do you think something happened?

Lanzhu

Want me to go ask them?

Kotori

Oh, it looks like they're about to resume!

Ai

Whoa! They're changing formation!

Rin

They are! How incredible!

Shioriko

I suppose they must've decided to do so in that short break they just took. If that is the case, that is truly astonishing…

Umi

This kind of thing is what makes Aqours so outstanding, isn't it?

Player

They focus on all the little details to get the best out of their performances. They're so incredible!

[Fade in/out.]

Mari

Hey! Welcome, everyone!

Player

Yeah, thanks for inviting us! What you did just now was incredible!

Ruby

What we did just now?

Hanamaru

What did we do?

Player

You temporarily stopped the rehearsal, and after a quick little talk, you immediately changed formation, right?

You

Oh, thaaat.

Riko

I guess when you're onstage, the things that you didn't notice during practice become apparent to you, right?

You

Like how big the stage is, or the lighting.

Kanan

Yeah, yeah! We can change things up based on stuff like that.

Yoshiko

Indeed. All to allow Yohane to exhibit her maximum magical power.

Dia

Putting that aside, we also want to show you all the very best we have to offer.

Chika

We're gonna give you the best live show ever, so have fun!

Kasumi

I-I'm amazed… They're practically outshining the sun today…

Rina

This is the power of performing on your home turf.

Chika

Oh, yeah! Here, these are the pamphlets being handed out to everyone in the venue today! Go on, have some!

Ruby

We made it to express our gratitude to everyone who came over to see us today.

Hanayo

Whoa… Woooooow! This is awesome! Can we really take something so wonderful?! For free?!

Emma

This is just lovely! I can't wait for everyone outside to see it too.

Dia

Huh? Outside?

Shioriko

Yes. There is already a large number of people gathered out there. The line for the costume exhibition area is super long too.

Aqours

Whaaat?!

Hanamaru

So many unexpected things just keep happening, zura!

Player

That's the power of the Aqours promo video for you.

Chika

Wow… I never would have imagined!

Chika

Well, we actually kind of intended that video to be a challenge to μ's.

Nico

A challenge? Well, we're ready to take it on anytime!

Chika

*Giggle* I figured you'd say that, Nico!

Chika

We've long admired μ's and have always seen them as role models. They were our example of what we should continue to strive for.

Chika

But more than that, we don't want to just be mere admirers. We want to show them how much we've grown.

Chika

So we packed all of those feelings into our promo video!

Honoka

You guys getting those feelings across to the whole country is what made today's live show possible.

Nico

Well, I can tell you've got grit, that's for sure. Now I'm even more excited for today! Show me just how powerful Aqours really is!

Eli

We can't wait to see just how strong your feelings are.

Nozomi

Yeah. It's quite the honor to have other groups who want to challenge us.

Nico

Just don't go thinking we'll lose to you guys, okay?!

Mia

Wow. You sure are a yappy one, Nico. I'll have to call you Little Puppy No. 2.

Nico

Hold on! Whaddya mean by puppy?! And why am I No. 2?! You've got a big mouth for a 14-year-old!

Mia

I was a college student in the States, you know. So I'm technically your senior.

Nico

Excuuuuuuse me?!

Eli

Honestly, Nico, let's just leave it at that for now.

Nozomi

Sorry about the fuss.

Kanan

*Laugh* I think it helped us relax a bit, if anything.

Chika

We'll show you our true power! Be ready for it!
