Ch. 51 Ep. 5: A Sleepless Night!
You've enjoyed the first day of the Daikoku Festival to the absolute fullest. Now it's time to get some quality rest before the μ's performance tomorrow… At least, that was the plan!
Honoka
Whew… I'm exhausted. We did everything there was to do.
Player
Can't believe it's dark already.
Ayumu
What should we do now?
Umi
I'm afraid it's time we took our leave.
Nico
We've gotta meet up with some people from the neighborhood.
Honoka
Yup. We promised to help out.
Rina
You still have get-togethers even after the festivities are over?
Honoka
Sure do! After the festival, the local organizers always get together for a big celebratory feast.
Kotori
It's a special occasion for us, because we get to stay up later than usual.
Maki
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.
Eli
Good point. They were nice enough to give us the opportunity, so we need to be at our best.
Player
Yeah, that's very true. Good luck with the show tomorrow!
Honoka
Our performances have evolved to a new level lately. You're gonna love it!
Chika
I can't wait!
Nozomi
*Giggle* We're gonna have to work hard to live up to all these lofty expectations!
Hanayo
Get home safely, everyone.
Rin
See you tomorrow!
Player
Yup, see you tomorrow!
[Fade in/out.]
Dia
We're so appreciative of all your help today.
Player
We're always relying on you when we visit Uchiura, so this was the least we could do.
Rina
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!”
Mari
*Chuckle* We're excited too!
Lanzhu
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!
Chika
Oh, I'm pretty good at that too! I'm the ryokan inn's poster girl, after all!
You
Yeah, Chika's sheet technique is pro-level.
Riko
It's obvious that you've been helping out since you were little.
Emma
Lanzhu refined her technique at the dorm!
Karin
Yeah, and we were forced to pitch in.
Mia
Talk about a waste of time. I had to learn all this stuff I'll never be able to use back in the States…
Kasumi
Wait, do I sense another competition about to begin?
Setsuna
If this is going to be a competition…
Ai
I'd like to join in this one…
Kanan
The more competitors, the merrier.
Yoshiko
Why does everything have to be a contest with all of you?
Hanamaru
Still, laying out the futon bedding early is a good idea. Right?
Ayumu
It's something we should know before we grow up and get married, no?
Shioriko
That's right. There's never any harm in learning new skills. Let's join them, Ayumu.
Ayumu
Okay!
Lanzhu
Hey, wait a second! Now all of a sudden everyone wants in?! What the heck!
Ruby
It'll be faster and more fun if we all work together, Lanzhu.
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!
Lanzhu
Let's go!!
[Fade in/out.]
Mari
I'm all done with the shower!
Mari
Hmm?
Kanata
*Giggle* Lanzhu looks like she just ran a marathon.
Shizuku
She's been going as hard as she can all day.
Emma
Not only was she excited to see everybody, she was also thrilled to show off her skills with the bedsheets.
Dia
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.
Mia
It's because we're always getting together in the game.
Player
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.
Dia
*Chuckle* Much like in real life, we help one another out online.
Lanzhu
Mmph…
Lanzhu
*gasp*
Kanata
Oh, look who's awake.
Lanzhu
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.
Dia
Pillow fight? After we spent all that time setting up our futon beds so nicely and neatly?
Lanzhu
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!
Shizuku
Huh? It wasn't so you could provide perfect hospitality to Aqours?
Lanzhu
Sure, that was part of it. Being able to reorganize messed up futons after a pillow fight was just one of my many aims.
Lanzhu
Now, hit me with your best shot! Pillow fight!!
Mari
You're on! Pillow fight!!
