CHIKA: "Thanks for coming all this way, everyone!"
KARIN: "It wasn't that far, really."
NOZOMI: "Yeah, it doesn't even take two hours to get here from Tokyo."
Well, on a less busy day like this anyways...
AKI: "And we had a bunch of fun playing games. We were here before we knew it!"
CHIKA: "Aww, that sounds like fun! What did you play?"
EMMA: "Oh, just some children's card games."
ELI: "But Honoka was the only one who lost the entire trip."
KANATA: "She's so easy to read since she loses focus so quickly."
Uh... Should I tell Kanata?
NOZOMI: "It's a shame since she's got all the luck in the world. It's almost goddess-like."
KOTORI: "Yeah, but that's what makes her Honoka..."
HONOKA: "Wait, what?! Is that really what you think of me, Kotori?!"
CHIKA: "Ah, perfect timing! Looks like the bus to Uchiura is here! Let's go, girls!"
AKI: "Yeah! ......HEY!"
...
KANATA: "So this is Uchiura, huh?"
AKI: "Nice place, isn't it?"
KOTORI: "I can smell the ocean from here. That sea breeze feels so good."
KARIN: "It's stunning... The sea is so beautiful."
KANATA: "I bet it would feel so nice to just float along those waves... It'd put you right to sleep."
AYUMU: "Don't float too far away from us, Kanata."
CHIKA: "It's even prettier under the water!"
AKI: "I agree, Kanan helped me go scuba diving. It's like a water blue, new world down there!"
Speaking of which, I should really check out Awashima again. Maybe the promotional work I did with Kanan and Mari helped out?
KARIN: "It sounds beautiful, I'd love to go scuba diving sometime."
ELI: "That would be nice. We probably won't be able to do it this time around, but I'd love to find the time to do it someday."
HONOKA: "I am SO jealous! You have the beach right in your backyard! You can go swimming whenever you want!"
AYUMU: "Nijigasaki is near the sea as well, but it's not really somewhere people go to swim."
AKI: "The entirety of Tokyo's waters I'd prefer to stay away from. Though there's probably some nice sights under there if you ignore all the factories."
CHIKA: "Swimming and diving isn't the only way you can enjoy the beach!"
AKI: "Of course! The beach isn't just the ocean, after all. You can make some cool sandcastles."
AYUMU: "Tunnels, too."
CHIKA: "All of us Aqours girls got to help out a beach hut once. Getting to cook for and serve all those customers was a total blast!"
NOZOMI: "That certainly does sound like fun."
CHIKA: "Oh, looks like everyone's there. We should get a move on. This way, everyone!"
...
CHIKA: "Here we are! Welcome to tonight's lodging: Tochiman!"
EMMA: "Wow, it's a Japanese ryokan inn! I love it!"
CHIKA: "Come on in!"
...
YOSHIKO: "Though it has been many long and arduous centuries, you have done we to heed my call, little demons!"
AKI: "Glad to see you're doing well, Yoshiko!"
YOSHIKO: "I'm not Yoshiko! I'm Yohane!"
ELI: "All right, everyone! I know this is sudden, but I'd like you all to have a look at this."
DIA: "What is this exactly?"
ELI: "I figured we needed to get some concrete progress management on board to pull the School Idol Festival off, so I made this planning sheet."
RIKO: "I knew we could count on you!"
ELI: "We need to make some clear decisions about the delegation of responsibilities in order to get this festival running.
To split them up into broader roles, we'll need a group to oversee general operations and overall management, a stage group to plan out the stage and create timetables, a group to take care of snack stand and other booths and a marketing group for promotional activities.
There's still a lot we can't decide on since we haven't found a venue yet, but let's decide on everyone's roles to get the ball well and truly rolling."
DIA: "...No objections here."
KANAN: "You've really got this covered!"
MARI: "I'm so glad we've got you, Eli-chi! You're so perfect at everything you do!"
ELI: "What are you talking about? There's only so much I can do on my own. I'm going to need you all to pitch in and help."
DIA: "That's right. Let us all work together to make this School Idol a reality!"
YOU: "Let's get those motors running! Full speed ahead! Yousoro!"
ELI: "Now I'd like everyone to start off by sharing their ideas about what kind of event you want the School Idol Festival to be."
RUBY: "What do you mean?"
AKI: "Hmm, well first and foremost, it's gotta be a kind of cultural festival created by school idols and the people who love school idols, right?"
ELI: "Right, but that's a bit too vague to set as a theme for the event. I want us to have a more clear, common theme."
HANAMARU: "Okay, why don't we all take turns saying what we imagine the event would be like, zura?"
CHIKA: "Oh, pick me, pick me! Can I go first?!"
AKI: "Sure, go ahead."
CHIKA: "Well, I think..."
