Ch. 52 Ep. 9: In This Place
After communicating with each of the festival venues, it's time to get down to business! Just then, you hear an interesting story.
Player
Ah, here comes Lanzhu and the others! Over here!
Lanzhu
I know. You don't need to wave your arms around like that.
Lanzhu
Goodness, you really must like me, huh?
Kasumi
It's me she likes, actually.
Lanzhu
I love both of you!
Kasumi
Ugh! I'm happy, but you don't get it at all!
Shizuku
Poor Kasumi. There, there.
Kasumi
Wahhh! Shizuko…
Shizuku
But just so you know, I think Prez has always really, really liked me.
Emma
Well, she loves me! She's always messaging me!
Karin
She's head over heels for me!
Kasumi
Be that as it may, she loves me most of all!
Ayumu
*Giggle* Prez loves all of us the most, so don't worry, Kasumi.
Kasumi
…Still, one day I'll come out on top!
Shioriko
Now, now, everyone. That's enough joking around.
Kasumi
I'm totally serious, though!
Player
Ahaha…
Player
Umm… While you're all here, can I tell you all about something interesting I heard from the store people yesterday?
Player
So, I told them that we're having a contest to see which sub-unit can make their facility the most exciting place to be.
Player
I said that by doing that, we're just doing the same thing we always do.
Ai
The same thing?
Player
Yeah. For each event, the idea is to liven up all of Odaiba, but we want wherever we are to be the best of all, right?
Player
I think that's kind of like our relationships with each other.
Ai
I see what you mean. I can relate to that.
Ai
We want to promote school idols as a whole, but we want people to like Nijigasaki most of all, and even among Nijigasaki, we all want to be the most popular member of all.
Karin
I bet even those big facilities have friends and rivals within them.
Player
That's right. Anyway, I found it kind of funny and interesting, so I thought I'd tell you all.
Player
So I was thinking, you must all have…maybe not anecdotes, but memories about Odaiba, right?
Player
I was thinking we could show a collection of those stories, photos, and videos. What do you think?
Rina
I like that idea. I'd like to see something like that myself.
Setsuna
Me too. I'd like to talk about my memories and offer some of my photos for it.
Mia
Okay! Let's split up and start gathering memories!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
You all found so many things in just a week!
Kanata
Wow, that's incredible!
Kanata
Wait, what's this?
Emma
Oh, I got this photo from the girl whose food truck I always go to.
Emma
It's a photo of one of her memories from when she first came to Odaiba and opened up shop.
Shioriko
Wait, is this a photo from when the school was just built?!
Lanzhu
Yup! I borrowed it from my mom.
Karin
That's a really precious photo.
Shizuku
And this photo of the ferris wheel…
Kanata
Oh, I borrowed that one from Tsumugi.
Kanata
She said she rode it to clear her head when she was worried about a practical exam, and ever since then, she goes there whenever she has an important test coming up.
Mia
Hm? Is this the Odaiba mascot?
Shizuku
Oh, that's the Theater Club's president inside that costume. She said she used to work there part-time.
Mia
We've all brought so many memories here.
Ai
Take a selfie with me, Mia-chi!
Mia
Ah, wait…
Ai
Smile!
Ai
We've gotta put this photo on the display too!
Shizuku
No fair, Ai! Take a photo with all of us!
Lanzhu
Squee! Yeah, yeah! Let's take one!
Player
I'll set up the camera, so everyone huddle together!
Kasumi
Come on, Miako!
Mia
What?!
Player
Okay, five seconds! Five, four, three…
Everyone
Nijigasakiii!
