MARI: "We will now start the production meeting for the diving shop's second promotional video!"

KANAN: "I'm going to have to ask you three to help again, but I'd really appreciate it if you could give me some input."

AKI: "Don't mention it! I was thrilled myself when the video from before was a hit, so I don't mind offering my help at all!"

DIA: "As your friend, seeing your family business prosper absolutely delights me. If there is anything I can do to help, then I am willing to offer my services."

KANAN: "Thank you."

AKI: "So, what kind of video do you want to shoot this time?"

DIA: "I believe the last video introduced the charms of Uchiura and Awashima, such as the beautiful scenery and the fresh seafood."

KANAN: "It ended up like that because the aim was to start by showcasing the local foods and views. The response to it was great, so should we go down the same path again?"

MARI: "Hee hee hee. The combination of diving suits and sashimi really tickled the curiosity of your viewers!"

KANAN: "Ugh. I mean, I can laugh about it now, but it was so embarrassing at the time!"

DIA: "Is that so? But you acted with such confidence that I could not sense the slightest bit of embarrassment."

KANAN: "I just burst out of my shackles after all the bickering."

AKI: "We also got a lot of comments about how delicious the sashimi looked. Oh, come to think of it, didn't we talk about plating the whole fish for the next shoot?"

MARI: "We did! We also mentioned wearing a hat! Is there some kind of hat you want to wear, Kanan? What about one shaped like a mikan orange? Oh, but maybe that'd be too normal."

KANAN: "That's more of a Chika style... Hang on a second, this sounds like it's going to turn into another funny video!"

MARI: "You definitely need some kind of impact to set you apart from the others! Don't be afraid to be a little unorthodox. Give it a shot!"

DIA: "I understand Mari's approach, however, it would not be wise to merely be unconventional. Novelty alone will end in a temporary spike in popularity.
That being said, just because the previous video was well-received doesn't mean we should make something too similar. Repeating it would not be nearly as interesting."

KANAN: "Something impactful, different from last time, but not too eccentric... That's pretty hard."

AKI: "Hmm..."

MARI: "Hm? What are you looking up?"

AKI: "I'm looking through the comments from the last video and checking out what people are saying online. It's like feedback for the video, right?
So I was just wondering if there'd be any hints there.
Oh?
Hey, look at this. Most of the comments are praising Kanan as well as Awashima."

KANAN: "Really? What are they saying?"

AKI: "They love you and they're kinda disappointed you didn't sing."

KANAN: "Sing?"

DIA: "These comments must be left by people who know of Aqours."

KANAN: "But I'm not just going to sing holding a plate of sashimi. That's just weird."

AKI: "Hmm... Would filming you during practices work?"

KANAN: "I doubt that. It has nothing to do with diving..."

AKI: "Singing underwater?"

KANAN: "Now, that's just impossible!"

MARI: "Not if you're a mermaid."

KANAN: "Do you want to get smacked?"

MARI: "It's joke!"

AKI: "Something that incorporates diving as well as Kanan singing... Hmm..."

DIA: "Should we suspend this for the time being?"

KANAN: "That's probably for the best."

*Sigh* I know there's something we could do, but I'm just not sure of it yet...

*RIIING*

AKI: "Oh? Chika just texted me, she said she wanted to talk to me at Uranohoshi."

KANAN: "Isn't today a Sunday?"

MARI: "Of course, but the school is still open for club activities!"

AKI: "I should probably let the others know that I won't be going back to Tokyo on the same train as them.
Whilst I'm here, I should make the most out of it."
