Ako
Phew~, today's practice was a lot of fun~.
Ako
Hey, Rin-rin, once we get home, let's play some NFO!
Rinko
Yeah... Okay. Do you want to do dailies? Or gather materials...?
Ako
Let's gather mats! Oh, and I wanted to check the timing for using the ability of that collab equipment that we got before!
Ako
That equipment's super strong! Even though I'm still not used to playing Knight, I can still put out insane damage!
Ako
Sigh~, but I still really want the Mega equipment, too~...
Rinko
If only we could do the collab event... one more time...
Yukina
That would be difficult.
Yukina
We've just been booked for a concert. We don't even have time to be playing around after school, let alone spend another entire day at a theme park.
Ako
I know~... Sigh.
Ako
But I won't give up! I might get another chance someday!
Rinko
Ako-chan... Yes. When that time comes... We'll go together.
Ako
Yeah! Yukina-san, you're always welcome to come too! If you want to, of course! Or if you just happen to have time!
Yukina
You're quite determined. aren't you...? Fine. But only if I have time, got it?
Ako
Got it! Yay~!
Rinko
Fufu... That reminds me... Lately, talk about this event... has been quite popular on NFO...
Rinko
Especially about the missions... I did a little research... There seems to be a lot of variety...
Yukina
Do you mean they're passing around information about the missions?
Rinko
At the very most... you could say they're... rumors...
Rinko
I heard there was one... that said. "Settle a fight in the back alley."
Ako
Ah, I heard about that one too!
Ako
But when they say fight, it's just an act between the cast members, right? I heard it was a super hard event to trigger!
Rinko
Yes... You can only trigger it... if you enter the back alley... during a specific time period... And not just that... There are other conditions, as well...
Yukina
(Settle a fight...?)
Yukina
(In order to settle a fight, you must first understand the reason for the conflict. It would be best to examine the situation first.)
Cast Member 1
You were the one who bumped into me! Where's my apology?!
Cast Member 2
The heck you talkin' about?! You bumped into me!
Cast Member 1
What'd you say to me?!
Yukina
...
Cast Member 1
... Um... Are you not gonna stop us?
Yukina
I still haven't reached a conclusion on which one of you was in the wrong. Don't mind me. Please, continue.
Cast Member 2
Huh? But...
Yukina
Is your fight so trivial that a random stranger could come in and stop it without any understanding of the situation?
Yukina
You both have something that neither of you are willing to back down on, correct? If I'm going to be involved, then I need to see proof of that. Now continue.
Cast Member 1
G-got it! Uh... I-it's your fault that I'm-
Yukina
That... seems quite difficult.
Ako
Right~? Rin-rin, did you hear anything else?
Rinko
Well... Um... I heard there also was one called... "Do radio calisthenics in the mansion."
Ako
Radio calisthenics!? That's super easy, though!
Rinko
But... after doing the workout... there was... some sort of catchphrase... you had to say...
Rinko
It seems... the instructions were to... "proclaim victory..."
Yukina
That makes no sense.
Ako
Hm... Victory, huh...? Wouldn't just yelling, "Victory!" do it?
Rinko
I don't know... Wouldn't it be something... more creative...?
Yukina
("Proclaim victory", huh...?)
Yukina
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Yukina
Finally, take a deep breath, and... "Victory!"
Yukina
... Impossible.
Ako
Yukina-san, you think so too?! Maybe that's not it then...
Ako
From the rumors I heard, everything really does sound pretty tough. But I bet Roselia could handle anything they throw at us!
Ako
With our powers combined, no mission is impossible for us!
Ako
You think so too, right, Yukina-san!?
Yukina
...
Ako
Y-Yukina-san?
Yukina
Ako. About how I said I'd be fine going back to that collaboration event, if we had time... I think I need more time to consider.
Ako
What~!?
Ako
Yukina-san, please-!
Transcript
Yukina
Good thing they had the CD I was looking for... Oh?
Yukina
If it isn't Marinaāsan and BanG Dreamer-san.
Marina
Yukina-chan! Hello. Doing some shopping by yourself today?
Yukina
Yes. What are you two doing here?
Marina
We're just stopping by on our way to do some shopping of our own. I wanted to check out the new arrivals.
Marina
More importantly, how was your day off?
Marina
You said Roselia was going out together, right?
Yukina
Yes. We all went to a theme park together.
Yukina
It was supposed to be a nice little break, but it turned into quite the affair.
Marina
What do you mean?
Yukina
The theme park was Ako's idea... When we got there, it turned out the park was doing a collaboration event with a game Ako and Rinko play.
Yukina
They said they wanted to get some sort of... equipment? They could only do so by clearing the event, so we all ended up participating.
Yukina
But the event was... Sigh.
Marina
More than you expected, huh?
Yukina
Exactly.
Yukina
All we had to do was finish these missions that were assigned to us, but it really was a hassle.
Yukina
There were time limits for all the missions, and they barely gave us any hints...
Marina
If you're the one complaining about it, it really must have been quite something.
Yukina
Yes, it was. Honestly, if I was asked to go again, I don't think I could say yes without hesitating.
Marina
But that means you wouldn't exactly refuse, right?
Yukina
I suooose not. I'm not a demon, after all.
Yukina
It being a request from Ako also factors into it, but... I certainly felt like there was something to gain from participating in that event. So I couldn't outright decline.
Marina
Something to gain, huh? Do you mean all the fun times you had?
Yukina
I do think Ako and Rinko thoroughly enjoyed themselves. But to me, the most important thing was being able to reaffirm the bonds we share.
Yukina
Any time one of us runs into a wall they can't overcome, the rest of us will be there to help.
Yukina
And that reaction comes naturally to Roselia now.
Yukina
I was able to see that more clearly than ever because we were in a situation completely unrelated to music.
Marina
Helping each other out comes naturally to you guys now, huh? That's certainly easier said than done.
Yukina
Yes, I think so too.
Yukina
That day reminded me how much I want Roselia to keep moving forward, together as one.
Marina
So what you gained was that feeling, huh? Aw, that's so sweet!
Marina
Hey, if you're free, would you like to grab some tea or something? I'd love to hear more about what exactly you did for this event.
Yukina
I donāt mind. Some place where we can sit and relax would be nice.
Marina
Then why don't we head to the cafe?! Fufu, I'm so excited~.
Yukina
Sounds good to me. Let's go.
