KANAN: "One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Your movements are getting dull, guys. Use your whole body."

RUBY: "O-Okay!"

KANAN: "One, two, three, four. One, two... Yoshiko, you're breathing really hard. You hit your limit already?"

YOSHIKO: "D-Don't be ridiculous. I am only exerting twenty percent of my true capabilities! In fact, I could descend twice-over!"

HANAMARU: "I get the twenty percent part, but what the heck does descending mean here?"

KANAN: "Well, if this is too easy for you. I'll have to put together a special regimen just for you."

YOSHIKO: "I-If you force me to unleash my full potential, it will spell the end of the world..." *Huff* *Wheeze*

HANAMARU: "How can a fallen angel reveal her true power if she can't even control her breathing, zura?"

YOSHIKO: "My power doesn't come from breathing! If I expell my true power, it will destroy the earth!"

MARI: "Oh yeah? I'd say Yoshiko would give out before the planet would."

KANAN: "All right, all right. Enough chit-chat. You're wasting precious stamina."

DIA: "All things considered, you are far more into this than usual."

KANAN: "After hearing that beautiful song, who the heck wouldn't be?"

YOSHIKO: "So it's Lili's fault we're suffering like this!"

RIKO: "Wh-Why is it my fault?! And I thought I told you not to call me that!"

YOU: "Well, the song does get you pretty amped up, that's for sure!"

CHIKA: "Yup! It's a masterpiece! The kind that only comes around once every century!"

RIKO: "STOP! You're just gonna make it harder for me to write any future songs!"

RUBY: "We gotta practice real hard so that we do Riko's song justice!"

KANAN: "Yeah, that's the spirit!"

CHIKA: "But practicing on the sand like this is so hard!"

KANAN: "We're doing it to help build your stamina up too."

CHIKA: "Oh?! Then that means we can get out of running later, right?"

KANAN: "There's no getting out of that."

HANAMARU: "Y-You're a monster, zura!"

...

AYUMU: "I had a hunch when I saw Chika head off early in the morning that they might be out doing some intensive training. Turns out I was right."

AI: "Just 'cause we're by the water doesn't mean they have to act so koi. We could use some schooling too!"

KASUMI: "I can't believe they're up this early... Most people would still be dead asleep right now."

RINA: "Kanata's asleep on her feet."

KANATA: "Zzz..."

UMI: "That's...some talent she has there."

NOZOMI: "Regardless, Aqours sure is amazing."

RIN: "Yeah. You can tell how much energy they're putting into their dance moves."

KARIN: "Not to mention doing it all on the sand. Their core strength must be incredible if they can keep from sliding all over the place."

RINA: "It looks real tough..."

KASUMI: "Don't be such a baby, Rinako!"

SHIZUKU: "Oh, do you think you can do that, Kasumi?"

KASUMI: "Hmm... If that's a yes or no question, I'd have to go with...yeno!"

SHIZUKU: "That's not an answer and you know it!"

EMMA: "It's incredible how hard all of Aqours is working. We could really learn a lot from them."

NICO: "Yeah, it's definitely praiseworthy to be up this early for practice."

HONOKA: "I wanna try doing a synchronized dance like that too!"

SETSUNA: "That's the sort of dance that only works if everyone is completely in unison, right?"

KOTORI: "Yeah. You can't do it unless you understand each other completely. They must trust each other a whole lot."

AKI: "They're not just dancing for themselves, but for all of Aqours. You can totally tell just by watching them."

AYUMU: "It just goes to show just how amazing Aqours is."

AKI: "Just look at them... It'd be a waste not to use this for the promo video. I knew I was right to bring my camera."

Hmm...

AYUMU: "You're not filming?"

AKI: "Not yet."

HONOKA: "Huh? Is something wrong?"

AKI: "That boy over there. The one in the black baseball cap and jacket. He's been watching Aqours practice this morning even before we got here."

KASUMI: "Aren't Aqours local celebrities in Numazu? Maybe he's just a fan."

AKI: "Probably, but I'm keeping an eye on him in case he tries anything."

UMI: "Is he always defensive like that?"

AYUMU: "Aki doesn't have the best track record of being friends with boys."

HONOKA: "But he's friends with Shiro, right?"

AYUMU: "I think he might be a special exception."

HONOKA: "They both love school idols, so it's understandable why they're friends, right?"

AYUMU: "Right."

AKI: "Oh, he's gone. It's a good thing that he wasn't trying anything funny."

AYUMU: "I really think that he was just a fan, Aki."

AKI: "Probably, I mean who wouldn't love to watch Aqours practice?"

KARIN: "It really is an amazing sight. Just watching them is enough to get me excited too."

RIN: "I wanna join in! I wanna practice with everyo..."

HANAYO: "Ack, Rin! We're supposed to be hiding right now! Shhh!"

RIN: "Aww, whaaat?"

ELI: "But it is a bit frustrating to watch, too..."

HONOKA: "Yeah, seeing them practice is really lighting a fire in my heart!"

MAKI: "To put it simply, none of us want to lose to them."

NOZOMI: "Yup, we're school idols as well, after all!"

AKI: "You may all be partners striving for the same goal, but you're also rivals. There's no doubt about that! The School Idol Festival is also a contest, remember?"

HONOKA: "And μ's don't lose! We're not gonna let them get one over on us! Let's get practicing as well!"

μ's: "Yeah!"

AKI: "Well? Don't just stand there everyone, we can't let them outshine us."

NIJIGASAKI: "Yeah!"
