*THE NEXT MORNING*

AKI: *YAWN*

Huh? Morning already?

Ow...My head hurts. Why did we have to get into a pillow fight?

We were so hyped up. Ow... I think when Ayu smacked me hard with her pillow it restructured my face...

Everyone's still asleep, huh?

I'm the only one awake after all. The Aqours girls left for their own homes, but μ's and us from Nijigasaki are still here.

If nobody else is awake, then it wouldn't hurt to kickstart the day, right?

I know someone who wakes up early to open a certain shop, and I know that the boats to Awashima are running early today...

So I should definitely go to see Kanan and ask if the promotional stuff helped out.

...

AKI: "Kanan!"

KANAN: "Hey, welcome!"

AKI: "Hi! Lots of new customers today, huh?"

KANAN: "It looks like the marketing we did worked. Lots of people saw the diving video, so we have a bunch of diving reservations."

AKI: "That's awesome!"

KANAN: "Ahaha. I have some mixed feelings in that video being the cause of it, though."

AKI: "Is that why the Hotels and Inns are all full?"

KANAN: "Nah, we're not so busy that we can't handle it. But it's much better than the last time you came.
Thanks for helping with so much."

AKI: "You're welcome! Well, it's not like I really did anything. Mari was the one that suggested that in the first place."

KANAN: "I feel like she just wanted to hang out, but I should thank her anyways."

AKI: "I hope this helps people see how amazing Uchiura is, and even more people come."

KANAN: "Yeah, that would be like a dream come true."

AKI: "It's not a dream! You can advertise even more to make it happen! When should we make the next video?"

KANAN: "What?! Umm... Whenever we do it, just...no sashimi, okay?"

MARI: "The next time can happen when you least expect it, Rainbow Student!"

AKI: "Mari?!"

DIA: "I apologize, we should have revealed ourselves sooner."

AKI: "Dia, too? What are you all doing here?"

DIA: "Kanan and I were out shopping. After we finished, we came here to have some tea while we chatted."

Shopping...this early?

MARI: "Can you believe that? The two of them went shopping without me. How cruel! Do you know how lonely my heart was, waiting for you to come back all by my lonesome?"

KANAN: "Mari, you should have let me know you were coming over! The last thing I expected to see when I got back was you sitting by the front door."

MARI: "It wouldn't have been a surprise is I told you ahead of time."

AKI: "That's Mari for you, always showing up by surprise."

MARI: "Booyah, master of surprise!"

DIA: "If the aim was to surprise us, perhaps you should have greeted us in a more cheerful mood, Mari."

AKI: *Laugh* "Always showing up unannounced and turning things upside-down. Whether it's dragging me across to every school in Tokyo or just after me and Kanan finished diving."

DIA: "When you finished diving?"

KANAN: "Remember how I told you about the promotional video we shot at the diving shop? Well, much like today, Mari showed up unannounced that day too."

DIA: "Ah, the promotional video. I did see it, actually. It was quite interesting."

MARI: "Right? The three of us poured all of our efforts into making it."

Having Dia compliment us is a big confidence-booster!

KANAN: "I suppose I can't argue that what should have been a simple commercial turned into a crazy comedy video."

DIA: "Humor is an important tool for grabbing the public's attention! A lot of people who saw the video decided to come to the shop, right?"

KANAN: "Yeah, business is booming!"

MARI: "But even the best marketing campaign only has an effect for so long. You have to advertise often to keep business up. So, with that said...Kanan!"

KANAN: "Wh-What is it?"

MARI: "When the video first aired, you had a lot of new customers. But, is this today really what you would call...booming?"

KANAN: "Uhh... Maybe today is a little less than usual but it's still good, right?"

DIA: "Perhaps that means that the effects of your marketing campaign have worn off."

KANAN: *Groan* "You're right. I just know it'll sink back to square one again any time now."

AKI: "You know what that means, Kanan! Now's the time!"

MARI: "Yes! Now is the time! The time to create a second promotional video!"

KANAN: "Ugh, can't we just hang out with everyone today?"

AKI: "Not right now, they're all still sleeping."

KANAN: "..."

MARI: "Let's go!"
