Ch. 48 Ep. 10: True Experience
The School Idol Club members are enjoying their individual experiences with the Try New Electives Program. Ai is particularly jazzed, attempting to take them all on, when she hears that Misato has been hospitalized.
Player
Have any of you taken part in the Other Subject Experience Program?
Kasumi
Rinako and I just participated in the international exchange course!
Rina
Kasumi was surprisingly talented.
Ayumu
Surprisingly talented?
Mia
She used body language.
Shizuku
Our experience program was meant to be choosing a situation and having a conversation, but Kasumi and the others got through it using mostly body language.
Kasumi
I'm sooo cute so my body language is easy to understand!
Ai
Wow, that's incredible! I wish I could've seen it too…
Shizuku
Ai, you already took that course didn't you?
Ai
Yeah, the second year course.
Shizuku
I heard from my Theater Club upperclassman that your English conversation skill level was really high!
Ai
Huh, really? Thanks! But I don't think I was much better than anyone else.
Shizuku
You were making puns in English, right? She said being able to do that kind of wordplay was impressive.
Ai
Ahaha… I don't think I did very well, but it suddenly came to mind so I had to say it!
Emma
Being able to speak without hesitation is an important skill.
Rina
Ai, you're so good at talking that you always put a smile on everyone's face.
Kanata
Ohh, that's true. She really does, doesn't she.
Karin
I heard things about you too, Ai. You took the life design course as well, right?
Ai
I went with the food design course. It was super fun!
Karin
Something about how you had to make a menu while taking nutrition and calories into consideration and got a perfect score.
Kanata
Wow! A perfect score is incredible!
Ai
It was kind of like a puzzle.
Ai
If I actually had to cook it all I would've been in trouble, but if it's just a menu it's fine. I just went into full gamer mode!
Setsuna
You really are brilliant, Ai! You helped make my wish come true when I took the data processing course!
Lanzhu
What's this? Tell us more!
Setsuna
For the data processing course, we needed to make a robot move by entering in specific commands.
Setsuna
The robot could only sit, stand, walk, or jump, but…
Setsuna
Ai added in a spin function!
Player
Whaaat?!
Lanzhu
Wow, Ai, that's awesome!
Ai
Not really. I'd already learned about it and thought maybe the robot could use the command so I looked it up.
Ai
When I saw Setsu's eyes light up as she made the robot move, it made me want to add in more actions for her.
Setsuna
With my command…
Setsuna
Well, no, technically it was Ai who made the command and I just input it.
Setsuna
But when I put in the command and saw the robot move, I just couldn't help myself!
Ayumu
Setsuna hasn't stopped talking about it since we got back from the data processing course.
Mia
So you've been going to a bunch of different experience program courses?
Ai
Yeah! I want to conquer them all! Shio-ti, is it okay if I take every course?
Shioriko
Of course. Experience as much as you can and let us use what you learned for our pamphlet!
[Fade in/out.]
Ai
Misatooo!
Misato
Oh, Ai, what brings you here?
Ai
I heard you were in the hospital. Are you okay to be here? Should we go back to your hospital room?
Misato
*Giggle* No need to worry. I'm just here for my usual tests. They're discharging me the day after tomorrow.
Misato
But I was starting to get a little bored. How was your day, Ai?
Misato
Wait, aren't you taking some sort of experience program right now? That's what you said, right? I want to hear all about it.
Ai
Yeah, I wanted to tell you about it! So um, I want to try and conquer every class, right? And when I took the life design course…
[Fade in/out.]
Misato
*Giggle* I'm sure that surprised your classmates.
Ai
Ahaha, maybe! But everything is a challenge!
Misato
How interesting. Just listening to you talk makes me feel like I was right there with you.
Misato
Tell me about it again some time.
Ai
Yeah, I'll come by again tomorrow!
[Fade in/out.]
Ai
I'm glad Misato had a good time.
Ai
But…
[Fade in/out.]
Misato
How interesting. Just listening to you talk makes me feel like I was right there with you.
[Fade in/out.]
Ai
She felt like the was there with me, huh…
Ai
I bet Misato would have waaay more fun if she got to actually participate in the experience program herself.
