Kasumi, Rimi, Tae & Arisa
Huh, the beach?!
Saaya
Yeah. Someone I know downtown runs a bed and breakfast near the sea.
Saaya
Apparently they have a room open right now... So why don't we all go there this weekend?
Kasumi
Yes, yes! I wanna go to the beach with Poppin'Party~!
Rimi
I also... might like to go.
Tae
I wanna eat shaved ice at the beach! Lemon flavor would be nice. What about you, Arisa?
Arisa
Yeah, I don't mind going to the beach, but... Kasumi, didn't you say you haven't finished your summer homework yet?
Tae
She did too. Weren't you worrying about it when we all went to the music store the other day?
Rimi
Now that you mention it... I think I heard that too.
Kasumi
H-huhhh~? D-did I...?
Arisa
Oi, oi, you've only got a few days until the end of the summer break, you know? Will you finish it on time if we go on a trip?
Kasumi
Hngh, well...
Saaya
Hmm~...
Saaya
There must be an easier way... Ah, I know.
Saaya
Hey, Rimi-rin, O-Tae, have you two finished your homework?
Rimi
Yes. I finished mine last week.
Tae
I finished mine the other day.
Arisa
I see. So everyone except Kasumi has finished.
Saaya
Then how about we do this?
Saaya
We all help Kasumi finish her homework before the weekend. That way, we can all go to the beach.
Rimi
Wow, that is a great idea! Let's do it together.
Tae
I like it too! I'll help you do your homework, Kasumi!
Kasumi
Saya~! Rimi-rin~! O-Tae~! Thank you, everyone~!
Saaya
So, Arisa? That'd be okay, right?
Arisa
Well, I guess... As long as you finish your homework before we go...
Kasumi
Okay! I will definitely finish it! Thank you, Arisa~!
Saaya
Fufu, lucky you, Kasumi.
Arisa
Seriously... you're so soft on her, Saya...
Saaya
Oh well. I'm sure the end goal of going to the beach will help her get through her homework faster.
Saaya
Ah, that's right. If we're going to the beach, we'll have to prepare a lot of things.
Rimi
Yeah. We have to prepare things for staying the night. I wonder where I put my overnight bag.
Tae
If we're going to the beach, we'll need swimsuits too. And we have to take swim rings. I think I have one in my closet...
Rimi
Maybe I will buy a new swimsuit...
Kasumi
Ohh~! Good idea, Rimi-rin~! Maybe I'll buy a new one too then~♪
Arisa
Alright, alright, but first, do your homework. This'll all be for nothing if you don't finish it by this weekend.
Kasumi
Ngh... I'll do my best...!
Saaya
Umm, I think I have a picnic blanket we can lay out on the sand at my house... Right, we have to look up the train schedule too.
Arisa
Ahh, I can do that.
Saaya
You sure, Arisa?
Arisa
Yeah. And if we're gonna go, we might as well look up some information about the area, right? I'll look up maps and such online.
Saaya
Thanks, Arisa. That would be a big help.
Arisa
It's nothing. Oh, we should also get some sunscreen and insect repellant. What else...?
Tae
Arisa, let's take a watermelon with us!
Arisa
You really like splitting watermelons, don't you, O-Tae?
Arisa
More importantly, wouldn't a beach ball be better? That way, everyone can play with it. And it's easier to carry.
Saaya
Ohh~, nice thinking, Arisa. What a good idea.
Rimi
You are very thoughtful, Arisa-chan.
Kasumi
What~? So you are looking forward to this trip then, Arisa~?!
Arisa
N-not really...!
Saaya
Fufu, anyway, let's work together to get Kasumi's homework done by this weekend so we can all go to the beach together!
Kasumi, Rimi, Tae & Saaya
Yeah!
Saaya
(Fufu, a beach vacation. I can't wait.)
Transcript
Saaya
Fufu... Everyone looks like they're having fun in every photo.
Marina
Oh, Saya-chan. Hello. You look like you're enjoying yourself.
Saaya
Ah, Marina-san, BanG Dreamer-san. Hello. Actually, I was looking back at the photos we took the other day.
Marina
Huh, what kind of photos did you take?
Saaya
A little while ago, all of Poppin'Party went on a trip together. The photos are from that time...
Marina
Show me, show me~... Ah! You all look like you're having so much fun. Fufu, you took so many.
Saaya
We stayed there overnight, so I ended up taking a lot of photos. And everyone was so full of smiles, I couldn't help myself.
Marina
Everyone looks really happy in these~. Ah, this photo. You're all jumping in the sand dunes.
Saaya
Yeah. Kasumi was like, "let's take a jumping photo!" ... So we took that.
Saaya
We couldn't quite get the timing right and had to retake it a few times. Fufu, we got a few funny photos because of that.
Marina
I see, so it's the fruit of your efforts then. Tell me, what's with this photo where Arisa-chan looks like she's yelling?
Saaya
This was from when we stayed up late at night playing games and Arisa got mad at us. She ended up joining us in the end, though.
Marina
I see. Fufu, they all look like so much fun~ ... Hm? In this photo, are you all riding an inflatable orca?
Saaya
Yeah. We all got on its back and tried to paddle out to a giant rock, but... we flipped over into the sea halfway there.
Saaya
We laughed about it though. Fufu... We really look like we're enjoying ourselves in every photo.
Marina
But hearing you talk about them, I feel like you were the one who had the most fun, Saya-chan.
Saaya
Huh, you think so?
Marina
When you were talking, you kept looking at each and every photo like it was a precious treasure.
Saaya
A treasure...? I suppose they are.
Saaya
I guess that, whenever I go out with my family, I always want Jun and Sana to enjoy themselves.
Saaya
I like doing this, of course. It makes me really happy to see them having fun.
Saaya
But when I'm with Poppin'Party, I can honestly go after whatever I think is fun...
Saaya
Meeting everyone in Poppin'Party and experiencing all sorts of joy with them might have made me realize this about myself.
Saaya
It might've made me realized that I too like to have some excitement.
Marina
Yeah, yeah. Being able to thoroughly enjoy whatever you find fun is very important.
Marina
And I think experiencing things that you can only experience now with girls the same age as you is one of life's greatest treasures. Especially at your age, Saya-chan.
Saaya
Yes... My memories with Kasumi and Poppin'Party are some of my greatest treasures.
Saaya
I hope I can keep pursuing the things that excite me with all of Poppin'Party.
Marina
Yeah! I'm sure you girls will have lots of fun times together!
