Ch. 53 Ep. 9: Float Away!

The members of Nijigasaki arrive just in time for the lantern-floating event, and one after another they write down their wishes. What do they see when they look out over the lanterns floating on the tranquil waters?

Ai

Are we in time for the lantern-floating? Did we make it?

Mia

You made it! You made it!

Shizuku

Thank goodness!

Player

What are you all here for?

Karin

We wanted to take part too.

Emma

*Chuckle* You've still got time. We were all just writing down our thoughts and wishes on these lanterns.

Kasumi

Really? Well then, we should put our feelings into these lanterns to make sure all your wishes come true!

Kasumi

Let's start with this one here.

Kasumi

Let's see… “I hope that the president ends up as the number one school idol”?

Kasumi

But I'm the best!

Rina

Don't complain about othjer people's wishes.

Kasumi

Sorry…

Emma

Next is… “I hope that my body gets stronger so I can play lots with my cute little sister.”

Emma

I hope that comes true. I'll pray it happens too!

Kanata

“I hope my photo studio is still around in another 100 years.” I'm sure it will be! I hope you take lots of photos of this festival too!

Rina

“I hope I become the number one Macaron-maker in the world.” What a lovely wish. I can't wait to go and buy some Macarons when your shop opens.

Kasumi

“I hope my big sister and I can be together forever”? This is…

Kanata

I'm sure that will come true. I'll make sure it does, so don't worry.

Emma

“I hope I can use technology to help people.” I'm sure you'll be able to!

Rina

“Victory for the Basketball Club!” Just call on me any time you need someone to cheer for you.

Kanata

“I hope I can stay involved in theatre forever.” Yeah, once you've been on stage once, it's hard to stop. I'll be cheering for you!

Kasumi

All right, everyone! Have you all written down your wishes?

Emma

Let's float these lanterns!

[Fade in/out.]

Ayumu

It's so beautiful…

Player

Yeah, it really is.

Ayumu

By the way, what did you write?

Player

Me? I wrote “I hope I can stay friends with everyone forever.”

Player

I want to stay together with everyone here forever and ever… What did you write, Ayumu?

Ayumu

I… It's a secret.

Player

Huh? Oh, c'mon, tell me!

Kasumi

Okay then, I'll tell you my wish! I wrote “I hope I become the cutest girl in Japan”!

Kasumi

Just you watch, I'll make sure it comes true!

Mia

What did all the rest of you write?

Lanzhu

I didn't write anything.

Shioriko

Huh? Why?!

Lanzhu

Because I don't want to wait on a wish. I'll make it all come true myself.

Lanzhu

All the things I want that I'd need to wish for have come true already anyway.

Ai

Lanzhu, I'm so happy to hear that! My one is “Let's all get together every year for this festival!”

Ai

I wanna see you all here every year from now on!

Mia

*Laugh* That's so you, Ai.

Ai

Well, if I don't drag you here myself, you'll just end up drifting off somewhere else, Mia-chi♪

Mia

Th-That's not true!

Karin

It's not not true. Mia, you have up and gone off somewhere without telling anyone before.

Mia

Aww, stop bringing that uuup!

Rina

Don't worry, I'll catch Mia if she tries going anywhere.

Mia

You too, Rina?!

Shizuku

Was your wish “I want to be surrounded by love,” Setsuna?

Setsuna

Close. I wrote “I'm going to surround myself with love!”

Setsuna

How about you, Shioriko?

Shioriko

Mine is “I hope everyone finds happiness.”

Ayumu

I know we'll all find happiness with you by our side, Shioriko.

Shioriko

I'll do my best to improve myself so I'm worthy of that.

Player

…Okay, everyone. It's just about time for the stage show.

Player

Let's finish today off with the perfect stage show!
