Ch. 53 Ep. 8: Floating Feelings
Evening comes, and μ's and Aqours gather together to take part in QU4RTZ's lantern-floating. What words will they put on their lanterns…?
Player
Ahh, the sun's starting to go down.
Emma
Yeah, and it feels as if the festival only just started.
Rina
It's all gone by so fast.
Kanata
Time flies when you're having fun.
Kasumi
Hey, everyone! There's still QU4RTZ's main event, led by yours truly! Stop talking like everything's already finished!
Emma
*Chuckle* Oh yeah, that's right. Our event's still to come!
Kanan
Heeey! Sorry to keep you waiting!
Player
Oh, Kanan!
Hanamaru
I can't believe it's this time already.
Kanata
*Laugh* That's exactly what Rina was just saying.
Rina
Have you guys all had a good time?
Hanamaru
Yeah! We were having so much fun we completely forgot about the time.
Eli
It's such a shame. I was sure I'd win our dance battle, but it ended up an even tie.
Dia
I was incredible to see how much everyone in Nijigasaki has improved in such a short time.
Nico
We'll win for sure next time!
Maki
You're such a little kid, taking stuff like that seriously.
Nico
Says the girl who took that dance super seriously, right, Maki?
Maki
No I didn't.
Nico
Yeah, you did.
Maki
Did not!
Nico
Did so!
Kanan
You two are so in sync it's ridiculous.
Maki, Nico
We are not!
Hanamaru
You totally are.
Honoka
Sorry for the wait!
You
We came for the lantern-floating!
Mari
I've been really looking forward to it! How do you do it?
Kasumi
All right, I'm just about to explain! Everyone who's here to do the lantern-floating, gather over here!
Rina
The Odaiba Rainbow Carnival does its lantern-floating a little different to the usual.
Kanata
We're put our thoughts and feelings into the lanterns not just to send them off, but to show gratitude what we have, and to wish for many more lovely encounters in the future.
Emma
Everyone has a different idea about what's lovely to them.
Emma
Things like lifelong friends, their hopes and dreams for the future, or even cute clothes and stuffed toys! So everything and anything you think is lovely!
Kasumi
Everyone, write your thoughts and wishes on the boat each of you have in front of you!
Player
My thoughts and wishes…
Player
I think mine would have to be “I hope we can all get on and be friends forever.”
Rin
I'll always be your friend.
Hanayo
Me too!
Mari
I'm gonna be an eeeven better friend!
Player
Thank you! I'm so happy!
Player
I didn't know anything about School Idols until I became a second-year.
[Fade in/out.]
Player
I first learned about them when I saw one of μ's and Aqours' joint live shows.
Player
I realized I loved school idols that instant, and not long after I joined the Nijigasaki School Idol Club.
Player
Then I met you all, and thanks to everyone here I've had so many wonderful experiences.
Player
It hasn't even been that long yet, but every day is filled with my wonderful memories of all of you.
Player
Thank you all for being such good friends.
Nico
Come on, you don't have to be so polite with us. The feeling's mutual.
Kotori
We're all really happy that we met you too.
Umi
Kotori's totally right.
Riko
Since meeting you, all our days have gotten even more fun than they were before.
Player
You girls…
Nozomi
All right, let's write down our wishes!
Yoshiko
I already wrote mine down ages ago.
Chika
Oooh, show me. Let's see… “I want us all to be friends forever. Also, I want to get some better luck?”
Yoshiko
Hey, don't read that out loud!
Nico
What a cute thing to write.
Ruby
Yoshiko's always cute.
Yoshiko
Aw, stop it, Ruby! And I already told you, I'm Yohane, darn it!
Eli
So what did you write then, Nico?
Honoka
Given this is Nico we're talking about, probably something like “I want to be the number one idol in the whole universe,” right?
Nico
Of course I didn't write that. That's not something I need a wish to get. I'm going to achieve that by my own ability.
Rin
Oooh, that's so cool!
Nozomi
What's this? “I wish I get a pass mark on my next test.”
Nico
Hey! Don't just read that out!
Maki
That's a lot less cool.
