Mari #141: True Feelings
Player
Hey, I heard you all had a live show on a train. That's incredible.
Nico
Heh heh, that's right. It ended up being a really great event thanks to me and the others.
Honoka
It was so much fun, and the passengers really enjoyed it!
Rina
I checked out what people were saying. They thought it flew by in a flash, and that we made their commutes to work and school really fun. It looks like it was well received.
Dia
While I'm sure everyone had their reasons for taking the train, such as to go on a vacation or just daily transportation, I'm glad everyone on board enjoyed it.
Player
But wasn't it tough performing a live show on a train? The environment is different to your regular stage, and I'm sure the train schedule made timing tough.
Mari
No problem at all! It was such a fun event!
Player
Oh? Is that…
Nico
What do you mean, “no problem”?! It was chaos with all of the problems we had!
Mari
Hm? Was it?
Dia
Nico's right. It was ridiculous from the very beginning with Mari bringing over the train…
Rina
I was so surprised when that happened, so much that I couldn't even come up with a Rina-chan Board response.
Honoka
I thought we were gonna be station masters for a day, but we ended up being train conductors for the day because of that surprise!
Player
*Laugh* Ah, so that's what happened.
Mari
*Chuckle* I wanted everyone to enjoy themselves, so I pulled out all the stops.
Mari
And throwing a little surprise into the mix helps to deepen our bonds further, right? That's why I thought it'd be better to be train conductors rather than station masters.
Player
I see, so you planned the event with everyone in mind.
| Option 1: “How did you arrange for the train?” |
|---|
| Player But I can't believe you brought over a whole train. How did you manage that? Mari Well, first, I took the initiative and brought the idea to the railway company. Then I picked the train, and held meetings about the event. *Giggle* It was a lot of fun! Player Th-That must mean you consulted with them directly! There you go, being so proactive again! Wasn't it tough having meetings with all those grown-ups? Mari I mean, Nico-chi did say herself that she wanted to have an event. Dia would help, and Honoka and Rina were really looked forward to it. There was no way I'd stop in my tracks. Mari There were some people who questioned whether an event like this would be a success. But you know what? Mari It's more interesting to hold an event that's never been done before! So when I promised that I'd make the event a success, everyone smiled and gave me the go-sign. Nico I see. I just wanted to be a station master for a day, but you really took it to the next level for me! Player Yeah! That's incredible to be so motivated with someone in mind. Rina How wonderful. You have my respect, too. |
| Option 2: “It must've been lots of fun.” |
| Player The event must've been a lot of fun since you put so much effort into planning it. Player I want to join in next time! Are you already thinking about the next event? Mari *Giggle* Hmm, maybe next we should perform an even larger-scale live show. Something like… Mari …On a plane, or something? All of us can perform a secret live show on a private jet, just for you… Or something like that. Player A… A plane?! It must've been a lot of work arranging for a train as it was. Could you even get a plane…? Mari Don't worry! I'll take care of it all so that everyone can enjoy themselves! Mari Oh, but would that make for less of a surprise than what I managed with the train? I gotta think about that, too. Player A live show on a plane, huh? It'd be great if it turned out to be a fun event like the one you just had! Player Oh, I know! If you don't mind, let me help out, too. I'll make sure the live show you plan out is a wonderful one! |
Mari
*Giggle* Thank you.
Dia
Everyone, please do not be fooled.
Player
Huh? What's wrong, Dia?
Dia
Mari speaks as though she worked for the good of everyone. However, I believe it was merely because she had a strong desire to be in the driver's seat at the very end.
Player
Really?
Mari
*Giggle* I did want to pretend to be a driver, even if it were to just be once-off.
Nico
What?! So you're saying you dragged us into all of this for that?!
Rina
Rina-chan Board says, “Shock!”
Honoka
But it does seem like fun to be a driver, and it's cool, too!
Mari
That's right! Which is why the plan was for me to drive the School Idol Train in a spectacular fashion at the end and leave everyone in awe. But, well, I held back since there was a driver.
Player
I can't believe that was the plan. You can't drive a train though, can you? Actually, it's not completely unthinkable for you…
Mari
*Giggle* What do you think? Maybe I'll actually drive it next time. Just kidding.
Nico
More importantly, what was with the whole goody-goody bit you told us at first? Give me a proper explanation!
Mari
No can do! My heart is top-secret business.
