Ch. 43 Ep. 10: This Means War?!
Honoka and μ's have a new plan and a new goal. They go on a trip to thank Aqours for giving them the initial inspiration.
Rin
Don't go picking any fights, Nico.
Nico
I'm not going to start a fight. I'm going to declare war!
Maki
That intensity is gonna make people think you're ready to rumble.
Nico
I'm just passionate!
Kotori
Easy, easy. We're obviously just going to have fun.
Hanayo
Umm, can I eat my rice balls now?
Honoka
Oh man, I'm hungry too!
Umi
This reminds me, remember how we said we wanted to go on a picnic?
Rin
We've still gotta plan that!
Eli
Yes, we need to do a proper picnic together.
Rin
Yaaay!
Nozomi
Nico-chi, did you get in touch with Chika-chi and the others?
Nico
Of course I did.
Nico
They said they'll be waiting at the Uchiura seashore!
Maki
That totally sounds like we're setting up for a big fight!
[Fade in/out.]
Chika
Oh, there they are! Hey, Nico! Over here!
Nico
You really kept us waiting. I hope you're ready for payback.
Kanan
Whoa, what?! Is this a fight?
Mari
Wow! A fistfight on the beach, just like a TV drama!
Eli
I-I apologize, that's not what she meant.
Nozomi
We came here today to thank all you lovely Aqours girls.
You
Thank us? Did we do something?
Chika
I don't think we did.
Honoka
Oh, you did. We took home something priceless from your last live show.
Riko
The live show? Was it the pamphlets?
Hanamaru
We really put our hearts into making those, zura!
Kotori
*Giggle* They were a joy to read!
Ruby
I'm so happy you liked them.
Dia
Yet, you needn't have traveled all this way just to thank us for a pamphlet…
Nico
We read that thing from cover to cover! You all went on and on about how grateful you were, but, if anything, we're the ones who should be—
Nico
Hey, wait a second!
Nico
Do you remember what I said to you after the live show was over?
Chika
Huh? Uhh, what was it again?
Nico
You should've committed it to memory! I said that we accept your challenge!
Chika
I-I'm sorry! Now that you mention it, I think you did say something like that…
Nico
That live show was the ultimate gauntlet. While I was watching, I realized μ's couldn't keep retreading the same path any longer.
Nico
We need to keep growing as well. We're gonna set the bar higher and higher with everything we do!
Honoka
We've come up with a new goal. We wanna link the songs and hearts of school idols from all across Japan until we're all connected as one!
Honoka
If we can make it happen, we want Aqours to join us too.
Nico
Show us the absolute best Aqours has to offer!
Yoshiko
Mwahaha… Now it's clear to me…
Yoshiko
μ's! You've come here to declare war on Aqours!
Yoshiko
You knew full well Yohane is part of Aqours, and you still dared to show such insolence. I give you my word, you will regret this.
Yoshiko
This! Means! War!
Kanan
Yes, yes, excellent grandstanding, Yoshiko.
Yoshiko
I'm not grandstanding! And it's Yohane!
Riko
Hmm? Chika, what is it? Wake up, Chika!
You
She's in la-la land. Did she fall asleep with her eyes open? Earth to Chika!
Chika
Um, um, I have a question!
Chika
You mean you came up with a new direction from watching our live show?
Honoka
Yup, we sure did!
Chika
Whaaaaaat?! Th-Th-That's incredible! Someone pinch me, 'cause I think I'm dreaming!
Chika
That means we're gonna get to see μ's keep evolving to even higher heights, right?!
Nico
You'd better believe it!
Chika
Woo-hoo! This is so cool, I can't wait! I'll be cheering you on the whole time!
Honoka
*Giggle* Thank you! μ's is gonna work extra hard to stay ahead of Aqours!
Chika
We're gonna shine just as brightly as μ's! Make sure you watch us, Honoka!
Nico
Oh, for goodness' sake, quit colluding with the enemy!
