It's a good thing we were able to buy that cool beach ball!
Tomoe
Yeah, we finished getting everything Moca and Lisa-san asked us to. All that's left is to wait for the beach day!
Ako
Uh-huh! I was so surprised when Moca-chin contacted me, but I'm really looking forward to it~.
Ako
A beach trip with both Roselia and Afterglow is the best thing ever~!
Tomoe
Yeah! I still can't believe Moca would plan a surprise like this~.
Ako
We've gotta keep it a secret from the others!
Tomoe
Huh? Who's that?
Ako
... Ahhh! I forgot Rin-rin is coming over today!
Ako
O-oh no! We've gotta hide the beach balls and everything!
Tomoe
I'll handle it. You get the door. It's too hot to keep her waiting outside.
Ako
Aww, thanks, Sis!
Rinko
... Fufu. Yes... It would be nice if we could all go to the beach.
Ako
We'll definitely be able to go~! So we've gotta work hard and get through our meeting!
Ako
... Ah, not like that! I don't mean we should work hard just so we can play at the beach...
Rinko
Fufu... I understand...
Ako
Phew~. So as I was saying! There's a ton of stuff I wanna do at the beach. What about you, Rin-rin...?
Tomoe
Hey, Rinko-san.
Rinko
Ah... Tomoe-san... Thank you for having me over...
Tomoe
Make yourself at home. I've brought you some iced tea. Here you go.
Rinko
Thank you very much... It looks delicious...
Tomoe
You guys sounded really excited. What were you talking about, Ako?
Ako
Stuff to do at the beach! What do you wanna do, Sis?
Rinko
...?
Ako
I know! We should have a race! Let's see who can swim out to the buoy faster!
Ako
There's no way I'm gonna lose~.
Rinko
Ako-chan...? Is Tomoe-san... coming... to the beach too?
Ako
Huh...?
Rinko
You said... you wanted to race her, so...
Ako
(Wh-what do I say~?! I totally forgot it was supposed to be a secret...!)
Tomoe
Hey, did you mix me and Rinko-san up~? You're going with Roselia, remember?
Ako
O-oh, yeah! I was so pumped up about the beach that I got confused~. Ahaha~...
Rinko
I see... So that's what happened... Fufu...
Ako
(Thanks for coming to my rescue, Sis...! I almost let the secret slip~.)
Tomoe
(I've got you!)
Tomoe
Anyway, Ako told me you're going to the beach after work. You guys sure are pros at juggling a busy schedule.
Rinko
Imai-san suggested we go to the beach if we have the time...
Rinko
I don't know whether... we can actually go or not... However... I really hope we do...
Tomoe
So you've got Lisa-san to thank, huh?
Tomoe
It all makes sense now. It was Lisa-san's idea. So that's why Moca-
Rinko
...? Did Aoba-san do something...?
Tomoe
Huh?! Err, I mean-
Ako
N-no, Rin-rin! Sis didn't say "Moca", she said "Mo... squito"!
Tomoe
Y-yeah... exactly! I was gonna say there's bound to be heaps of mosquitoes at the beach during summer, so you should take bug-repellent spray!
Rinko
I-is that so...? Yes, I suppose... we will need bug-repellent spray... I'll make sure... to pack some...
Tomoe
(Man... That was a close one~. Good save, Ako...!)
Ako
(No worries!)
Rinko
Ah, speaking of... Aoba-san... The other day... I ran into her downtown...
Rinko
She said... she was looking forward to it...
Tomoe & Ako
...!
Tomoe
L-looking forward to it? To what?!
Ako
Don't tell me you're talking about... the beach?!
Rinko
The beach...? Umm... She was looking forward to... the Yamabuki Bakery summer sale...
Rinko
Umm... Is something going on... with you two...? You've been... acting strange...
Ako
N-not at all! Right, Sis?!
Tomoe
Right...! I-I just remembered something! There's cake in the fridge! I'll go get it!
Rinko
Oh? P-please... don't go to the trouble...
Ako
C'mon, let's have a slice together. I'll help you plate it up, Sis.
Tomoe
Thanks! We'll be back in a flash, Rinko-san!
Tomoe & Ako
(Who knew it would be hard to keep this a secret...?! Ohh, the beach day can't come quickly enough~!)
Rinko
...? What on earth is going on...?

Ako
Ah, BanG Dreamer-san! Hello~!
Ako
Is it your day off from work today? Oh, that's cool! You always seem so busy.
Ako
I'm on my way to give Rokka and Asuka some souvenirs from my trip!
Ako
The other day, Roselia and Afterglow went to the beach together~.
Ako
But guess what? We didn't tell anyone that we planned to meet at the beach.
Ako
Secret plans are fun, aren't they? I was so excited in the lead-up to that day!
Ako
At the beach, we had a barbecue and set off fireworks! It was super fun~.
Ako
Ah, Lisa-nee and the others were a little upset that it was their last summer of high school, though...
Ako
Maybe I'll feel the same way when I'm a third-year student.
Ako
Who knows...? But right now, I'm full of excitement!
Ako
I can't wait to see what lies ahead for my band and school life!
Ako
I wanna experience all the fun stuff that's waiting for me together with my bandmates. That would make me seriously happy!
Ako
My guess is that Lisa-nee and the others feel the same way.
Ako
... Sure! The next time we do something fun, I'll let you guys know about it too!
Ako
... Ah, seems like Rokka and the others have arrived! I've gotta go meet them~!
Ako
Bye bye!
