Ch. 53 Ep. 3: Opening Ceremony!
It's finally opening ceremony time for the festival in Odaiba! The members start off with their greetings, but what happens next?
Player
I've finished with my check!
Setsuna
Me too.
Shizuku
We have received messages from everyone at the Ariake Town Improvement Project and the Apartment Administrators' Union saying their preparations are done too.
Ayumu
The preparations were over in a flash with so many people helping us.
Shizuku
Yeah, it wasn't just the people from the retail stores that helped, but everyone living in the apartments as well.
Setsuna
That means that everyone living around here really wants to create a local festival that will continue on for years to come.
Setsuna
Let's make sure that today marks the start of one then!
Setsuna
Just look at that. There's so many people who've come and gathered out here already.
Setsuna
I can't wait for the Opening Ceremony to start!
Ayumu
*Groan* I'm starting to get nervous…
Shizuku
Me too. But the all the venues for the Opening Ceremony are connected by relay. They're all connected to everyone in Nijigasaki.
Shizuku
And I'm sure everyone in μ's and Aquors will look out for us too… So let's do our best!
Ayumu
O-Okay!
