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.
