Ch. 43 Ep. 4: Some Things Last Forever!

Honoka feels sad when she notices how the town she once knew so well has changed. Will Akihabara change beyond recognition?

Honoka

Is it gonna keep changing until we don't recognize it anymore?

Honoka

Someday, is Kotori's maid café gonna have to…to…?

Kotori

Well… I can't rule out the possibility.

Kotori

Like Umi said, the potential customers walking around are a lot different now.

Kotori

But you know, we've had new people become regulars lately too.

Umi

Huh? Really?

Kotori

I've had people who first came into the café by accident come back several times.

Honoka

Your maid café has great tea and tasty desserts. And the omelet rice is awesome!

Kotori

*Giggle* Thanks! Oh, and a lot of the international tourists have told me they've always wanted to come to a maid café.

Kotori

It's definitely a bummer to see stores I like close up shop and people I know move on, but at the same time, I'm making new discoveries and acquaintances.

Kotori

Even if some of our old customers aren't around, it's not like they're all gone. Meanwhile, we have new customers filling our tables. It makes me wonder what'll come next!

Kotori

Like, for example, I'm really hyped to see what that new building that's under construction is going to be.

Umi

New places will draw in new people…

Umi

Maybe that's just the sort of place Akihabara is. A town that's always in flux.

Umi

But no matter what changes it goes through, the memories we have of Akihabara will endure forever.

Umi

They're the memories I've made with you two…and everyone in μ's.

Honoka

You're right. I think…I finally understand where Nico's coming from.

Honoka

Even when things change, some things last forever.

Honoka

I've already made precious memories that'll last me a lifetime!

Honoka

And I wanna keep making more and more memories that I can treasure!

Honoka

That's why Nico's been saying all that!

Honoka

Phew, I feel like a huge weight's been taken off my shoulders. In fact, I feel like singing!

Honoka

Hey, you two wanna sing along with me?

Umi

Huh? Right here, right now?!

Kotori

C'mon, Umi, your spot's on this side.

Umi

E-Et tu, Kotori?!

Kotori

The stage is set!

Honoka

Umi, Kotori! Let's make more special memories that will stay in our hearts for the rest of our lives!

[Fade in/out.]

Honoka

What a blast! I sang my lungs out!

Kotori

*Giggle* That felt amazing.

Honoka

You think we surprised the people passing by?

Umi

I think anyone would be surprised at a trio of girls bursting into song in the middle of the town.

Kotori

They stopped and listened until we finished, though.

Honoka

It felt nice to get all that applause, too!

Kotori

Even the people at work came out of their stores to cheer for us.

Honoka

The international tourists stayed and watched us too. One of them came up and told me “muy bien” afterward!

Umi

Do you think…we managed to appeal to the people of today's Akihabara?

Kotori

Definitely.

Honoka

Umi, Kotori. Even when things change, some things last forever, right?

Honoka

The streets and the people may look different now, but the beaming smiles they make when they hear a song they like haven't changed a bit.

Honoka

And the joy of sharing a good time together is still the same!

Kotori

Yeah, that's true!

Honoka

I made another precious memory of Akihabara today.

Umi

Honoka, you've got a rather goofy grin on your face.

Honoka

I can't help it. I'm just so happy!

Honoka

Besides, you're grinning from ear to ear too, Umi!

Umi

Huh? I-I'm not grinning! If anything, Kotori's the biggest offender!

Kotori

Hee hee hee! It's because I had so much fun!

Kotori, Honoka, Umi

Hahahaha!
