Ch. 45 Ep. 9: Go, Gaming Passion!

The night ends quickly as you find yourself at the final stretch. You each continue with your respective duties, but will you finish on time?!

Rina

*Yawn* Good morning.

Player

Morning. Did you get some rest?

Rina

Yeah. I feel mentally recharged. Rina-chan Board says, “Sharp.”

Setsuna

There's six hours left. We're on the home stretch, girls. Let's give it everything we've got!

Mia

Yeah!

Rina

*Giggle* You two are raring to go, huh?

Mia

Uh—

Mia

I-I mean, Setsuna's always so excited. I just get caught up in it.

Setsuna

You know, in Japan we say, “Conform to the customs of the land you enter” and “What you mix with will rub off on you.”

Setsuna

So, you're right to get caught up in it. Believe in yourself.

Mia

No thanks. I'll stick with being me.

Setsuna

I thought it was lovely to see you filled with excitement.

Player

Don't worry, Setsuna. Nothing is going to stop Mia from getting hyped up!

Mia

Stop! That's not happening!

Mia

Well, I guess it will now, for a bit. Little Baby's right on the money. Of course I'll get caught up in this—the whole contest is on the line.

Mia

Let's keep pushing at full speed 'til noon!

Setsuna

Yeah!

Player

I love this feeling. I know that I'm tired, but at the same time, I'm on the edge of my seat with my heart racing…

Rina

It feels like…a live show.

Mia

Oh yeah, you're right. I thought I was feeling some kind of déjà vu as well.

Mia

I'm tired, but it all feels worth it.

Setsuna

There are some nerves mixed in with the exhilaration too.

Player

So that's how all you girls feel when you do a live show.

Player

I think I've just learned more about you.

Player

Wait, what are we doing just standing around chatting?! We're still only 80% done, so we're not completely out of the woods yet.

Mia

I'm done with the music, so I can work on something else.

Player

Then, can you help Setsuna with what she's doing?

Mia

Got it! You can count on me.

Player

I'll play through it and check for anything not working quite as it should.

Rina

Yes, please.

Player

If anyone gets tired, go take a look at the comments flooding in on the live stream. They'll give you the energy to keep going!

Setsuna

The messages from the School Idol Club, ÎĽ's, and Aqours will push us on.

Rina

Everyone's giving us the strength to carry on. We should give it everything we have.

[Fade in/out.]

Lanzhu

You can do it, girls! I'm right here with you!

Shioriko

Lanzhu, please stop monopolizing the screen and let the rest of us see too.

Lanzhu

What? But I don't wanna miss a single thing!

Ai

I just can't take my eyes off it. Can they actually finish in six hours?!

Shizuku

This is Rina and the girls we're talking about. They'll get it done.

Kasumi

Aww, look at the eyebags on the Prez! I wish I could do something for her!

Kanata

I want to help them have the best sleep of their lives after this contest is over.

Emma

Let's get a bunch of food ready for them.

Ayumu

Good idea. Maybe we should make some sandwiches.

Lanzhu

Real meaty ones! Packed with energy for tired bodies!

Karin

That sounds nice, but I think we should make something a bit easier on the stomach as well. Like soup, maybe?

Emma

I can make some!

Kanata

Maybe I could make some congee too.

Karin

I have to say, though, Rina's been full of surprises. I didn't realize she was so strong-willed…

Karin

We're the ones supporting them, but I feel like I'm being cheered on.

Karin

I'm just hoping they'll end up happy with what they achieved.

[Fade in/out.]

Player

…Final checks finished.

Rina

How is it? Is there anything we should tweak?

Player

All good! We're done!

Setsuna

We did it!

Mia

Only five minutes left. It sure was a close one.

Rina

Thank you, girls. We managed to make a really wonderful game.

Rina

Let's upload it together.

Setsuna

*Giggle* I'd rather leave that to you, Rina.

Mia

Right. That's the leader's job.

Rina

But…

Player

This is all that's left. You do it for us, Rina.

Rina

All right.

Rina

A game for everyone, made by all of us…

[Fade in/out.]

Rina

…Aaand send!
