Ch. 52 Ep. 5: A Place for Meetings

Following DiverDiva's lead, QU4RTZ search for ideas for their festival at Decks Tokyo Beach. Exhausted, they witness something from the deck.

Player

Kanata. Kanata, wake up!

Kanata

*Yawn* I'm up…

Kanata

*Giggle* The train felt so comfortable, I fell right asleep…

Kasumi

You go ahead and sleep, Kanata.

Rina

It's rare to hear you say that, Kasumi. Usually you'd say…

Emma

“Jeez, we're trying to find an idea for our festival at Decks today, so pull it together!”, right?

Kasumi

I would not!

Kasumi

But I do feel that way. Even now!

Kanata

Huh? Then why did you say I should go ahead and sleep?

Kasumi

Because today we'll be researching Decks all day!

Kasumi

There'll be no time for breaks once we get there, so it's best that you save your energy on the train.

Kanata

That sounds scary… Wahhh! Wahhh! Emma… *Sniff*

Emma

Whoa… There, there. It's okay.

Rina

You're all revved up, Kasumi. Why's that?

Kasumi

Why? Because I want to put on the best festival of all, of course!

Kasumi

I want QU4RTZ to be the best!

Kanata

*Sniff* I wanna do that too…

Emma

Me too…

Rina

I want everyone to say that QU4RTZ is the best!

Kasumi

Yeah! So let's all get revved up for today!

Everyone

Yeeeah!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Wow, it's already evening. That day went by fast.

Emma

We ended up just hanging out like always, didn't we?

Rina

We checked out areas we never usually go to though.

Kanata

I really enjoyed the outdoor shop.

Kanata

They had such useful tools there, didn't they?

Kasumi

And there was a really elaborate barbecue set.

Emma

That reminded me of our training camp.

Rina

I wish we'd had something that convenient back then.

Kanata

Yeah. Next time I'll stock up and smoke us all some meat!

Emma

Cheese! I want smoked cheese, Kanata!

Kanata

That sounds good! I'll definitely do that!

Player

So did you find any ideas for your festival?

Rina

Uh…

Kasumi

Umm…

Emma

Let's talk about it while we remember what we did today.

Kanata

Good idea.

Kanata

…Although, this peaceful atmosphere and the cool sea breeze makes me…

Kasumi

No falling asleep, Kanata!

Kanata

Huhhh? But it feels so good! I want to just soak up the moment…

Kasumi

Ugh!

Rina

I know what you mean, though.

Emma

*Giggle* It feels good being on the deck, and the view really relaxes you somehow.

Emma

Look, the light from the boat is so pretty.

Emma

Come to think of it, I think I saw a festival like this on TV before…

Emma

Those little square containers that are lit up and go floating along the water…

Kanata

Isn't that called toro nagashi?

Rina

Let me search it up…

Rina

Like this, Emma?

Emma

Yeah, that's it! Those little lamps floating in the sea look so pretty. Do you think we could do that here?

Kanata

Hmm… I think these are memorial lanterns, though? It's a tradition. I don't know if it's okay to do it at a festival like ours.

Emma

I see… So that's how it is.

Kasumi

It should be fine if we don't do it exactly the same, right? Can't we come up with something new that fits Odaiba?

Player

Fits Odaiba? Like what?

Kasumi

Kanata, you said before that this is “a brand-new place for people to gather”, right?

Kasumi

So we could float lanterns as thanks for our past meetings, and to wish for wonderful encounters in the future!

Kanata

Ooh, good idea!

Emma

That's wonderful, Kasumi!

Rina

I'd like to do that. Rina-chan Board says, “Woo-hoo!”

Kasumi

Yes, I'm so smart! With my leadership, QU4RTZ will win the day!
