Ch. 41 Ep. 5: After the Live Show

Aqours have completed another successful live show. They gather in Tochiman along with μ's and Nijigasaki and throw themselves a big after-party!

Dia

Cheers to another successful live show!

Everyone

Cheers!

Player

I know it may be odd to mention this now, but I wonder if it's really okay for us to participate in the after-party.

Chika

Of course it is! Come on, eat up!

Lanzhu

Hǎo hào chī! Delicious! What is this…?! I've never had sashimi this fresh in my life!

Kanan

This was all fished here in Numazu this morning.

Lanzhu

Wow! Now I love the fish here as much as I love meat!

Kanan

Whoa, that's high praise coming from you!

Ayumu

Shioriko, where's Miss Kaoruko?

Shioriko

She said she was going to sleep in the car. She has to drive us all home, after all.

Ayumu

Oh, right. I feel bad for asking her to drive us around so much…

Shioriko

Not at all. That's just what she does. She has a license to drive large vehicles, so she would take any excuse to drive a minibus.

Shioriko

After she got her motorbike license, she insisted on taking me along for a ride… She told me she wanted to go see the vast…expanses…

Ayumu

Shioriko, are you okay?!

Shioriko

M-My apologies. I started feeling a bit faint. It is…a rather frightening memory for me…

Riko

Are you okay with fish, Mia?

Mia

Heck yeah, I love this one that's been cooked in sweet soy sauce… So good… *Munch* *Munch*

You

Ooh, you look like you're really enjoying that. Fish cooked in soy sauce is great, but so is fried fish! Eat up!

Player

I just want to say again that today's live show was the best yet!

Mari

Tell me about it!

Dia

All of our hard work has paid off magnificently.

Player

The performance you gave was unlike anything I've seen Aqours do before. It was fantastic. You've all come so far.

Setsuna

My excitement's still going through the roof!

Ai

I feel the same! It makes me feel like getting up onstage and doing a live show right now!

Hanayo

Me too! I can't get Aqours' live show out of my head!

Maki

Me three! I'm sure I'll be seeing that live show in my dreams tonight.

Honoka

Don't hog all the dream stuff for yourself now! I want to dream about it too!

Kanata

I'm going to see Aqours' show whenever I dream from now on… Zzz…

Karin

Honestly, Kanata. You'll catch a cold.

Karin

Hey, Emma. Kanata's—

Karin

Oh?

Emma

Shhh, Karin. Ruby's about to fall asleep.

Ruby

Nnn…

Dia

Oh, she's leaning on you. I'm sorry about that, Emma.

Emma

I don't mind, honestly. She worked super hard today, after all

Hanamaru

Yeah, she certainly did, zura. *Yawn*

Emma

*Giggle* Looks like someone else is sleepy too. Come lie down here, Hanamaru.

Hanamaru

Mmm…

Dia

Surely having both of them on you has to be heavy, right?

Karin

It's fine, Dia. Emma's stronger than she looks, you know.

Emma

Yeah, you bet I am!

Kotori

Say, about today's live show… Did you guys also make that exhibition space? I was so happy I got to see your costumes up close.

Yoshiko

Well, of course! Both the exhibition and the pamphlets were part of today's live show experience!

Umi

I respect that attention to detail. The pamphlet was a very worthwhile read.

Nozomi

Yeah. The love for Numazu that I felt from it made me want to take a tour of the town.

Yoshiko

It really does have that effect, doesn't it. It was the perfect masterpiece!

Riko

Still, those mic issues really had me worried for a second there.

Eli

Huh? It didn't really look that way to me.

Kanan

Believe you me, my head was in full-on panic mode! I had no idea what we were gonna do, especially since it happened just as the excitement was reaching fever pitch.

Chika

That's why we were so relieved when your Prez started singing.

Chika

Everyone in the venue used her singing as their chance to join in. I'm going to remember the sight of it for the rest of my life!

Dia

Yes. I've never felt so emotionally uplifted as I did in that moment.

Mari

I can truly say that the whole venue came together as one.

You

Thank you. You came to our rescue yet again.

Player

Oh, please, I didn't do anything…

Nico

Okay, I know you're all having a moment and all, but I just need to say that μ's accepts your challenge, Aqours! We're gonna show you how far we've come at our next live show!

Kasumi

Heeey! You can't just go saying bold stuff like that while ignoring us!

Shizuku

I agree with Kasumi! We're going to show just how far we've come too!

Rina

I'm gonna build a special Rina-chan training machine!

Rin

Ooh, when you do, let me have a go on it!

Nico

Oh, I see what you're up to, Rin. You clever little spy!

Maki

And now we see Nico's true colors!

Nico

W-W-Wait, forget I just said that! Okay?!

Rin

But I really just wanna play on Rina's training machine!

Player

(Everyone's spontaneously finding stuff they want to do and moving forward.)

Player

(Kaoruko told me there's no need to fret… That as long as I do my best and focus on the things I want to do right now, I'll be just fine. Still…)
