Ch. 42 Ep. 1: Night of a Vivid Dream
Honoka is back from Numazu. She thinks back on the fun conversation she had with the Aqours members who walked her to the station.
Honoka
Ah, that was so much fun!
Honoka
Going out with everyone, seeing an Aqours live show, having a chat…
Honoka
I wish today would never end!
[Fade in/out.]
Chika
Thanks so much for coming today!
Honoka
No, thank you!
Honoka
I'm so happy you invited me to such a wonderful show!
Nozomi
The after-party was great fun too.
Hanayo
Yeah! It was nice to hear all those different stories.
Eli
Sorry for having you all walk us to the station. You must be tired…
Yoshiko
Heh, what can we do? Helping out my little demons is all part of the job.
Nico
If being away from the galaxy's number one idol is too much to bear, just say so.
Umi
You should just thank them, Nico. They've brought us all this way.
Nico
Urk…
Nico
Yeah, you're right. Thanks.
Kotori
You two seemed sleepy back there. Are you okay, Hanamaru? Ruby?
Hanamaru
I'm all good, zura!
Ruby
Same. I had a quick nap and I feel fine now.
Kanan
All right. Looks like you've got your energy back.
Rin
Everyone in Aqours has so much energy! What's your secret?
Maki
You know, I was wondering that too.
Mari
Wow! Well then, why don't we have a joint practice together next time?
Mari
I'll cook up a special regimen with Dia and Kanan!
Dia
Fabulous idea. Let's put together something even more special than what we've done before.
Riko
Huh?! Even more special?
Chika
N-N-No way! I was only able to barely keep up this time!
Chika
Right, You?!
You
Haha. Well, I guess it was tougher than usual.
Nico
*Giggle* Why not? Bring it on.
Honoka
Nico?!
Honoka
Even Chika and the others are saying it was tough. Are you sure?
Hanayo
I'm scared…
Nico
What do you mean?! We can't let Aqours beat us!
Honoka
This isn't a competition!
Eli
But it's motivated you too, right, Honoka?
Honoka
Of course it has! I mean, they were amazing!
Honoka
It made me want us μ's girls to put on an amazing live show too.
Chika
Hehe, more compliments!
You
You're practically swooning, Chika.
Chika
Can you blame me?! Hearing μ's say these things about us is like a dream!
Chika
I mean, we became school idols because we admired μ's and wanted to shine like them, right?
Chika
And on our school idol journey, we fell in love with being school idols and being Aqours.
Chika
And that's just why we want to shine even brighter.
Chika
We might never achieve it, but I at least want to strive to reach the same level as μ's. Even if we can't shine in the same way, I know we can find our own special shine.
Chika
I want to show people that the way we shine is amazing, too!
Chika
We showed everyone who came today how hard we've worked with that goal in mind!
Chika
So that's why I'm all happy and swooning!
Kanan
Ahaha. Really, Chika.
Riko
We all feel the same way, you know.
Chika
Thought so! Hehehe!
Nico
Ahhh! Now that you've said that, we μ's girls have to make some big moves, too!
Nico
Chika! Your live show today was amazing! I'll give you credit where it's due.
Nico
But I'll prove to you that μ's are even more incredible!
[Fade in/out.]
Honoka
Hmm, looks like Nico's all fired up.
Honoka
The future of μ's, huh…
Honoka
*Giggle* I wonder what's next for us. I can't wait! Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna work even harder!
