UCHIURA

Chika
What is it? Are you Kokona-chan's friends?

Kokona
Y-Yeah... We're all actors in different theatre groups in Tokyo...

Riko
Wait, so you mean that all the guests at the inn just happened to know each other?

Iroha
Wait, wait! Could it be that you two are Chika-chan and Riko-chan from Aqours?

Hatsumi
So you're in the same group as Dia and Ruby?

Chika
Ah, yes! It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Takami Chika from Aqours! This is Sakurauchi Riko-chan!

Shizuka
I never thought I'd meet Koyomi-san and the others here... Did Chika-chan and the others know about us and get us together?

Chika
No way! I had no idea you guys knew each other!

Chika
Are you all on a trip?

Koyomi
Iroha and I are on a sister trip...

Hatsumi
I'm here to take a break from writing scripts.

Iroha
What about you, Kokona-chan?

Kokoa
Me and Shizuka-chan came here on our day off too.

Shizuka
So everyone came to Uchiura for their own reasons? What a coincidence!

Chika
Yeah, yeah! But it's a really wonderful miracle.

Dia
Oh, while we were gone to pick up Yoshiko-san, it seems like there was some commotion.

Ruby
Koyomi-san, Iroha-chan, is something wrong... H-Hatsumi-san!?

Hatsumi
Oh, it's been about a week since I last saw you. Dia and Ruby are still as beautiful as ever, even more so than their names suggest.

Ruby
Pigi! T-Thank you very much...!

Yoshiko
Whoa, Ruby! Don't stop at the corner! We almost bumped into each other!

Shizuka
I-Is someone else coming...?

Kokona
Erm, um, first! Let's all introduce ourselves!

Kokona
Okay, so, these five people are the members of Aqours: Chika-chan, Riko-chan, Dia-san, Ruby-chan, and Yoshiko-chan.

Chika
Yes! Actually, there are nine members of Aqours.

Chika
That's right, we can just invite everyone--

Shizuka
Wait, don't make it more complicated by adding more people...

Iroha
But, meeting all nine members of Aqours is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!? I can't let that pass by...!

Kokona
That's true! I'd like to meet everyone too, if I can.

Riko
Wait, Chika-chan. Didn't you say that You-chan and the others had other things to do?

Chika
Oh, that's right!

Riko
Haha, sorry. So, this is Kokona-chan, Shizuka-chan, Koyomi-san, Iroha-chan and Hatsumi-san, who are all actors in Tokyo.

Chika
Nice to meet you! Hehe, it's suddenly become a lot more lively.

Shizuka
Yeah, I never thought something like this would happen.

Shizuka
...I thought Kokona and I could go on a trip together.

Kokona
Haha, that can wait for another time. Why don't we just enjoy the trip together this time?

Shizuka
...If that's what you want, then it’s fine.

Iroha
Me too! I'm so happy to be able to travel with you all! Oh, and let's take a commemorative photo later!

Chika
Ah, that's a good idea!

Yoshiko
Hey, Iroha. So this trip is about the present?

Iroha
Ah... you mean the present for Nee-san, right? Actually, this trip was Nee-san's idea...

Yoshiko
So you haven't done anything yet?

Iroha
Ehehe, I'm embarrassed to say it...

Iroha
But I'm hoping that I can repay her through this trip! I'll think about the present again later.

Yoshiko
Well, if you have any problems, just tell me.

Iroha
Yes, thank you.
