Whew… I'm exhausted. We did everything there was to do.

Can't believe it's dark already.

What should we do now?

I'm afraid it's time we took our leave.

We've gotta meet up with some people from the neighborhood.

Yup. We promised to help out.

You still have get-togethers even after the festivities are over?

Sure do! After the festival, the local organizers always get together for a big celebratory feast.

It's a special occasion for us, because we get to stay up later than usual.

That being said, we've got to make sure we get enough rest tonight. Don't forget we've got a show to put on tomorrow.

Good point. They were nice enough to give us the opportunity, so we need to be at our best.

Yeah, that's very true. Good luck with the show tomorrow!

Our performances have evolved to a new level lately. You're gonna love it!

I can't wait!

*Giggle* We're gonna have to work hard to live up to all these lofty expectations!

Get home safely, everyone.

See you tomorrow!

Yup, see you tomorrow!

[Fade in/out.]

We're so appreciative of all your help today.

We're always relying on you when we visit Uchiura, so this was the least we could do.

This is as fun as a training camp, and I'm excited to have a big sleepover with everyone. Rina-chan Board says, “Woo-hoo!”

*Chuckle* We're excited too!

Hey, is it time to spread out our futon beds? I've been practicing putting the sheets on. In fact, I'll do everyone's!

Oh, I'm pretty good at that too! I'm the ryokan inn's poster girl, after all!

Yeah, Chika's sheet technique is pro-level.

It's obvious that you've been helping out since you were little.

Lanzhu refined her technique at the dorm!

Yeah, and we were forced to pitch in.

Talk about a waste of time. I had to learn all this stuff I'll never be able to use back in the States…

Wait, do I sense another competition about to begin?

If this is going to be a competition…

I'd like to join in this one…

The more competitors, the merrier.

Why does everything have to be a contest with all of you?

Still, laying out the futon bedding early is a good idea. Right?

It's something we should know before we grow up and get married, no?

That's right. There's never any harm in learning new skills. Let's join them, Ayumu.

Okay!

Hey, wait a second! Now all of a sudden everyone wants in?! What the heck!

It'll be faster and more fun if we all work together, Lanzhu.

Oh, good catch! I can't argue with that! In that case, let's do it! But I'll be the one who puts down the most futons, you just watch!

Let's go!!

[Fade in/out.]

I'm all done with the shower!

Hmm?

*Giggle* Lanzhu looks like she just ran a marathon.

She's been going as hard as she can all day.

Not only was she excited to see everybody, she was also thrilled to show off her skills with the bedsheets.

That reminds me, when was the last time we all met up face-to-face like this? It doesn't feel as if it's been that long to me.

It's because we're always getting together in the game.

Dia, you and the others may have joined after us, but lately everyone's gotten so powerful I feel like I'm the one learning from all of you.

*Chuckle* Much like in real life, we help one another out online.

Mmph…

*gasp*

Oh, look who's awake.

Oops, I must have dozed off! Fortunately it's still night time. We can't go to bed without having a good pillow fight first.

Pillow fight? After we spent all that time setting up our futon beds so nicely and neatly?

Even if they get all messed up, I can put them back together in no time. That's why I worked so hard to perfect my skills!

Huh? It wasn't so you could provide perfect hospitality to Aqours?

Sure, that was part of it. Being able to reorganize messed up futons after a pillow fight was just one of my many aims.

Now, hit me with your best shot! Pillow fight!!

You're on! Pillow fight!!
