Mm, what great weather out today!

It really is. A blue sky really fits with the Uchiura sea, doesn't it? It's so beautiful.

I love it here when it's cloudy, too!

Really? Doesn't that just cloud up how blue the sea is, though?

Well, it does look darker when there are clouds out, but I think the color has a lot of depth to it!

A color with a lot of depth to it? I never thought I'd hear you talk like a veteran sea-watcher, Chika.

H-Hey, come on!

Ahaha, sorry, sorry.

Hmph! If you're going to say stuff like that, then we're through!

Chika! Don't run like that, you'll trip!

I'm fine, I– AHHH!

See, what'd I tell you?

Blech, I got sand in my mouth.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Man, I can't believe I tripped on my home turf.

[Fade in/out.]

So you used to play by the sea since you were little, huh?

Well, yeah! It's like having a big garden in front of your house. I'd call You and Kanan over, and we'd get covered in sand all the time.

That sounds pretty fun. I bet you made sand castles and had sand fights and stuff a lot.

You live close to the sea, too, right? You don't have a beach?

It's close to the sea, but it's more like I was surrounded by it. I don't have it right in front of my house like you do. Oh, but there's a seaside park nearby, though.

Wow! I really want to see what the sea's like in Tokyo!

I've been to Tokyo with Aqours a few times, but I haven't really had the time to relax by the seaside.

I don't think it's much to write home about… And haven't you been right next to the sea all your life? You still want to see other beaches?

Well, they may be the same, but they might look different, right? It's the same for you, right?

For me?

Like, you're used to seeing the sea, but you said that the water in Uchiura is really beautiful. I want to see other places too, just like that.

The same, but they look different. Huh. You're pretty interesting, Chika. I'll take you to the beach next time you're in Tokyo.

Really? Sweet, it's a promise!
