Riko #44: Symphony

Player

(Okay, so this is where we're meeting. And Riko's…not here yet.)

Player

(I'm going to see a classical orchestra concert with Riko today. I was so happy when she invited me!)

Riko

*Pant* *Pant* S-Sorry I'm late!

Player

Riko! It's totally fine, I just got here myself.

Riko

Y-Yeah?

Riko

Phew, thank goodness.

Player

Are you okay? Want us to sit down somewhere?

Riko

Oh no, I'm fine, thanks.

Option 1: “Good to hear.”

Player

Well, let's go into the concert hall.

Riko

Yeah. They're about to open up, so let's head over.

Option 2: “Really?”

Player

There's seats in the concert hall, so how about we sit down and rest a little?

Riko

Thank you.

Riko

Ahh, my hair's all messed up. And I spent so much time on it, too!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Wow, there's so many people!

Riko

So the orchestra playing today is a really famous group, even abroad. I guess they'd really draw a crowd.

Player

Oh, I see. I only listen to classical music through CDs and videos, so I'm really glad I get to see such a famous group's performance in person today!

Player

Thank you so much for inviting me today, Riko!

Riko

O-Oh, not at all! I mean…

Riko

I've been looking forward to today for so long, myself.

Riko

I was looking forward to the concert, but…

Riko

I was also looking forward to, um. It being just the two of us, like thi–

Player

Huh? We were just kind of walking with the crowd, but aren't our seats over there?

Player

Oh, sorry Riko, were you saying something?

Riko

Ah, nothing.

[Fade in/out.]

Player

That was amazing!

Riko

Wasn't it? That performance really shook my heart!

Player

It's totally different from CDs or videos! You get completely engulfed in music, and it feels like you're a part of the performance.

Riko

The violins, the flutes, the double bass, the piano, the horns.
All sorts of instruments came together in perfect harmony, creating a world of its own.

Player

Different sounds coming together in harmony. You know, that's just like Aqours.

Riko

It is?

Player

Yeah. All different types of girls get together to make a single song, a single world.

Riko

Hey, you're right. So we've made a bunch of worlds, then.

Player

And you really move the people who listen to you, too, just like today's orchestra!

Riko

*Giggle* I think comparing us to an orchestra is a bit much, though.

Riko

But if songs from a band of girls with totally different personalities and ideas like us might have moved someone, then…

Riko

Well, there's just nothing better than that.
