Ch. 41 Ep. 9: Dazzling Service Area
Your minibus ride is going smoothly, with Tokyo just right around the corner. Before you get there, however, you all make a stop at a service area for one last break. Enjoy it and relax to the max!
Ai
Whoa, look at you go. It's coming along really well.
Setsuna
This is going to be a hit, I can just feel it!
Shizuku
It's thanks to everyone's input that we could come up with something so good.
Kasumi
I'm not just the cutest school idol in Japan, I might also be its cutest songwriter now!
Mia
You're the most happy-go-lucky idol in Japan, Little Puppy.
Kasumi
I am not a puppy!
Shioriko
It is truly astonishing how you've been able to put together a wonderful song like this so quickly.
Lanzhu
Masterpieces don't necessarily get better the more time you spend on them, you know, Shioriko.
Karin
This could make for a lovely song. It just gently soothes its way into your heart.
Rina
I really love this song.
Kanata
I'd love to sing this.
Player
Thank you. Now if only I could just come up with the hook…
Player
Something more…
Kaoruko
We're at the service area. Songwriting's all well and good, but you've also got to take breathers.
Kaoruko
Right, let's reconvene in an hour!
Everyone
Okaaay!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
It's daybreak. Mmm, the air's so nice!
Emma
*Sniff* *Sniff* I smell butter!
Shizuku
Emma, I don't think that's what she meant…
Emma
*Giggle* Sorry. I just get easily carried away by nice aromas!
Karin
This aroma certainly does carry you away.
Kasumi
It's not every day I hear you say something like that, Karin.
Karin
Come on, even I want to enjoy this moment to the max.
Karin
And enjoy it even more than you, Prez.
Player
Huh? More than me?!
Karin
Yeah. There's no way I'm losing to you.
Karin
Let's race to find where that aroma's coming from!
Player
W-Wait!
Emma
Come on, you get a move on, too!
Ai
Otherwise you'll get left behind!
[Fade in/out.]
Ayumu
Mmm, delicious!
Rina
I just love freshly baked, flaky apple pies! *Nom* *Nom*
Player
Ooh, it's so warm. I love it.
Shioriko
Oh, you've got a little bit of pie on your lip. Stay still, please… There, all gone.
Player
Thank you.
Ayumu
*Giggle* You've always been like this. The moment you start chowing down on something tasty, it's like you lose all self-awareness.
Player
Sorry. It's just that this pie is so delicious.
Kanata
I'd love to try making an apple pie like this!
Mia
I can't wait. Your cooking's so yummy, Kanata.
Kanata
*Giggle* Thanks. But I can't guarantee that I can make it this good.
Kasumi
Kanata can make absolutely anything, Miako! Those cream puffs she made before were the best.
Mia
You know, I'd love to eat some cookies like the ones I used to eat back in the States.
Player
Ah, you mean the ones that barely fit in your hand, right? I ate so many of those when I was on my short study trip abroad!
Kanata
Okay, then I'll challenge myself to make both an apple pie and cookies like the ones Mia ate.
Lanzhu
G-Guys! You're not gonna believe this! I found something amazing!
Ai
Look at this, look!
Karin
A meat bun?
Ai
You'd think, right? But split it open, and…
Ai
Ta-daaaaaa! It's filled with soft and juicy shrimp!
Player
Whoa! That looks so yummy!
Lanzhu
I've never seen anything like it! It's gotta be delicious!
Setsuna
Let's share it!
Emma
Here goes nothing. *Chomp* Mmm, buono!
Lanzhu
My turn now! *Munch* *Nom* *Nom*
Lanzhu
Hǎo hà o chī! This is delicious!
Kasumi
I quite like doing this sort of thing. I know it's actually not good to just eat whatever you want, but it sure is fun!
Ai
We should all go camping sometime soon! You haven't lived until you've had some hot milk at a camp while gazing at the rising morning sun!
Rina
I wanna go! Rina-chan Board says, “Sparkle.”
Lanzhu
We can make a campfire too! I had so much fun with Ai and the others doing that last time.
Setsuna
Then, how about a training camp? We'll practice during the day, then build a campfire at night!
Ayumu
*Giggle* Everyone has so much they want to do.
Player
Ah!
Ayumu
Hm? What is it?
Player
It came to me! I found my hook! This is it!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Do you…like it?
Emma
I think that's a great hook!
Kanata
Yeah, yeah. It fits the lyrics perfectly!
Ai
Are you feeling less gloomy now?
Player
Yeah, I feel all nice and refreshed. Thank you, everyone!
Lanzhu
You can rely on me whenever and for whatever! I'm the supreme club president, after all!
Kasumi
You're still calling yourself that…
Setsuna
Why don't we try singing this song all together, right here, right now?
Shizuku
I'm all for it! I've been itching to sing it!
Shioriko
Okay, then let's sing it! All 13 of us, together!
Ayumu
I wanna help spread the word about your song!
Player
Yeah!
