Tomoe
Man, this photobook is the best. Especially this sunset... Sigh, I'd love to see it in person.
Moca
Hm~? Whatcha lookin at, Tomo-chin?
Tomoe
This photobook of Inoshima.
Tsugumi
Inoshima... Isn't that the place with the big aquarium?
Tomoe
Yeah, that's the one!
Himari
A photobook of Inoshima? I wanna see! Tomoe, can I see~?!
Tomoe
Of course. Let's all look at it together.
Himari
Thanks, Tomoe! Come on, Tsugu, get over here.
Himari
Wow~, this is amazing! Look at this picture of the ocean. It's so pretty~... The way the waves glisten in the sunlight really makes them glow!
Tsugumi
This shot of the town is great too! You can almost imagine all the people and everything they're doing.
Moca
Oh~, this cake shop is guaranteed to be scrumptious. My Moca cake sensors never lie~.
Himari
Oh! I know that cake shop! Everyone online was saying they're super good!
Tsugumi
Photobooks like this are so fun, aren't they? Just looking at them makes it feel like you're actually there sightseeing.
Tomoe
Right? That's why I like them so much.
Himari
Oh yeah, you du have a lot of photobooks in your room, don't you?
Tomoe
Those are all of places overseas though. So many unusual buildings, such unfamiliar scenery... I start getting worked up just looking at those photos.
Tsugumi
I think I know what you mean. It feels like we just got back from Inoshima, and all we did was go through this book.
Tomoe
U-uhm, you know... Inoshima's pretty close by, and I'm sure there are things we can't really experience through photos, so... how about we all-
Himari
Whoa~, look, look! This sunset is incredible~! It makes me want to frame the photo and hang it up in my room!
Tomoe
I-I know, right? Imagine seeing it in person! I bet it'd pack even more of a punch!
Himari
I'm sure it would~. It must be breathtaking in person~.
Tomoe
...
Tsugumi
(... Hm? What's going on with Tomoe-chan?)
Tomoe
A-and I heard Inoshima has a ton of great spots that are perfect for... getting likes? Like on social media. You're into that kind of stuff, aren't you, Himari?
Himari
Uh-huh, I love it! Yeah, Inoshima seems like it would have a bunch.
Tomoe
I also heard on the radio that they've set up all these lights and decorations in town as well.
Himari
Really~? I'm sure it's beautiful~! I'm already in love just imagining it~.
Tomoe
That's why I'm saying... You don't have to imagine it. We can just go see it toge-
Moca
Tomo-chin~, what's on your mind? Sounds like you got something to say~.
Tomoe
N-no... I mean...
Tsugumi
(It looks like Tomoe-chan wants to go to Inoshima, but she's having a hard time saying so...)
Tomoe
Okay, Moca, what do you think of Inoshima?
Moca
Sounds like fun to me~. Especially with those cakes. They look mighty tasty~.
Tomoe
Right? Wouldn't it be cool to go there?!
Moca
More like freezing. Especially around this time of the year~.
Tomoe
Ngh... W-well, winter also means the sunset would be prettier, and the same goes for the lights since they'll shine even brighter!
Moca
But I really hate the cold~. They even have a saying: A Moca will always be curled up under the kotatsu.
Himari
Peole don't say that... It would be nice to sit under the kotatsu together, though. We could stay warm and talk about girl stuff~.
Tomoe
(... U-usually Himari would be the first to say, "Sounds like fun! Let's go!"... Why not now?)
Tomoe
(... I can't ask everyone to go with me... Can I? I'm so bad at this stuff... It just feels awkward... Ugh~...
Tsugumi
(T-Tomoe-chan... She looks so sad... Alright, maybe I can help...)
Tsugumi
H-hey! Inoshima sounds great! Looking at these photos makes me really want to go there!
Tomoe
Tsugu...!
Tsugumi
What do you think, Moca-chan? Himari-chan? It's probably a little cold, but doesn't it seem like we'd have a good time? It's been a while since we all took a trip together.
Moca
Well, when you put it that way, Tsugu~... Ngh~, but I really can't stand the cold~... I'm sure it's extra chilly near the seashore too.
Tsugumi
U-uhm... Oh! That's right! I remember hearing that there's a café famous for their pancakes in Inoshima.
Moca
Ohoho~. Pancakes, you say~...?
Tomoe
With the number of shops there, we could try out all sorts of foods. They probably have special winter items on their menus too.
Moca
... Alright, I'm in. How about you, Hii-chan? Where's there's food, there's always Hii-chan, right~?
Himari
Hmph! That's not true~! But after listening to you and Tsugu talk about it, I think I wanna go.
Tomoe
Nice. That means it's settled then, right?! Let's do it!
Himari
Yeah! Let's ask Ran when she's free too so we can all go!
Tsugumi
She might say no beause of the cold, but... we'll just have to persuade her!
Moca
Don't worry. I'll convince her... Anything for pancakes.
Tomoe
Haha, sounds promising. Once class is over, let's all go tell Ran the plan.
Himari, Moca, Tsugumi
Yeah!
Transcript
Tsugumi
Good morning, Tomoe-chan, Himari-chan! You're both early.
Tomoe
Oh, Tsugu! What's up!
Himari
Morning~! I just got here myself, but Tomoe's been here for a while now.
Tsugumi
But we're already early. When did you get here, Tomoe-chan?
Tomoe
Uhm... About 30 minutes ago, I think.
Tsugumi
Y-you came here that early?!
Himari
Fufu. Sounds like someone's relly looking forward to today~.
Tomoe
E-enough about me! I wonder what's taking Ran and Moca so long.
Himari
I mean, we still have ten minutes before we're supposed to meet up. We just have to wait a little longer.
Tsugumi
Ah, speaking of which, look who's coming... Good morning, Ran-chan, Moca-chan.
Ran
... Morning.
Moca
Yawn~... Mornin'~.
Himari
You both look really tired. Are you okay? Are you actually even awake?
Ran
Yeah... For now.
Moca
Why are we meeting so early~? I'm so sleepy~. Dozing off~. Nighty night~...
Tsugumi
Inoshima is kind of far from here. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to do everything we want to do.
Himari
Besides, we can just sleep on the train! 'Kay, now that's everyone's here, let's go! Inoshima, here we come~!
Tomoe
Thanks for coming, Ran.
Ran
We skipped the trip to the beach during the summer, so...
Tomoe
Haha. Gotcha.
Himari
Hello~. Ran~, Tomoe`! Hurry up or we're gonna leave you behind~!
Himari
We're here~! Mmm~! Just smell that sweet ocean breeze~!
Tsugumi
Where should we head first? We kinda planned this trip in the heat of the moment, so we don2t have any set plans... Tomoe-chan, is there anywhere special you wanted to go?
Tomoe
Not really... I just wanna see the sunset.
Himari
Fufufu... I thought that might be the case so... I looked up Inoshima and checked what all the recommended stops are~ ♪
Moca
Ohh~, Hii-chan~, that's Himarvelous~!
Tomoe
Thanks, that'll be helpful! Alright, so should we check out somewhere Himari wants to go first? As long as I get to see the sunset, I'm down for whatever.
Tsugumi
Mhm, same here. How about you two?
Ran
I'll just go along with everyone else. Himari knows more about the area than me anyway.
Moca
As long as I get my pancakes and street foods, then I'm good~.
Himari
Oh, I made sure to look up the pancake place too! It's really close to the station, so let's go there first!
Ran
We're gonna eat already...?
Himari
I read that it's so popular that there's almost always a line! So I think it'd be better to go early before they get busy.
Moca
Agreed~. Let's go there first.
Ran
Sigh... Not you too, Moca... Fine, let's head over.
Tsugumi
We got here at the right time. It's not crowded at all. We can even choose between sitting outside on the terrace or sitting inside.
Ran
Let's sit inside. It's freezing out here.
Himari
What~? No way, we have to sit outside on the terrace! It says online that you get an amazing view of the ocean.
Himari
Besides, they have heaters out there. You can also rent blankets if you need them, so it won't even be that cold!
Ran
... Himari, you really did your homework... I guess it's fine if they have heaters.
Himari
Okay, let's sit at that corner table~ ♪ Looks like we'll get the best view from there!
Tomoe
You're right. The scenery is really nice. Okay, I'll sit over here. Himari, how about you sit where you get to look right over the ocean?
Himari
Are you sure? Thanks, Tomoe~! 'Kay, I'll be sure to get the perfect snapshot~ ♪
Himari
(... Uh-oh, I know I insisted that we sit out here, but it's way colder than I thought it would be...)
Himari
(B-but... I can't tell them I'm cold now after all that... I'll just have to grin and bear it. Besides, I wanna take pictures of the ocean...)
Himari
(I wonder how everyone else is doing...?)
Ran
... I think I'll order something warm.
Tomoe
... Same.
Himari
(... I knew it. They're cold too...)
Moca
I'm getting pancakes! Delicious, delicious pancakes~ ♪
Tsugumi
Wow~, look at this menu! You can tell they're famous for their pancakes. There are so many types!
Tomoe
Banana caramel pancakes... Matcha and brown sugar pancakes... Man, this whole menu is pancakes. That's crazy.
Moca
I can't decide~... Hii-chan, what are you gonna get?
Himari
L-l-let's s-s-see...
Ran
Himari? That's a lot of shaking you're doing there... Are you cold by any chance?
Himari
A-ahaha~. What~? No way! I think I'll g-g-go with this one!
Transcript
Himari
Wow~! Here come our pancakes ♪
Tomoe
I ordered this because Himari insisted, but... these are huge.
Tsugumi
Yeah...! I think they're bigger than the pictures on the menu.
Moca
Look at all that whipped cream~. These pancakes are almost screaming, "I'm delicious, eat me~!"
Himari
Let's get a picture of our pancakes with the ocean in the background~ ♪
Himari
... H-hey!! Tomoe! Ran! Moca! You're already eating?!
Ran
Huh? Well, yeah. Now that our food's here...
Moca
You should hurry up and eat too, Hii-chan. It's really tasty~.
Himari
Hmph! You guys just don't get it! We're in Inoshima eating pancakes at a famous café! It'd be a waste not to capture this moment!
Tomoe
It'll be even more of a waste if you don't eat your food while it's warm. Take a picture already so you can eat, dude.
Himari
Tomoe, come on~! Hmm... How does this look? Maybe this angle~...
Ran
Do you really have to be that exact? They're pancakes. It's not like changing the angle is gonna make them look that different...
Himari
Of course it will! The pancakes can show totally different character!
Moca
Aww~, look~. Now it's showing you its sad face~... It's just crying out, "Eat me, Hii-chan! Eat me~!"
Ran
Do you want me to take the picture? You want a bunch of different angles, right?
Himari
No~! That's not the problem, Ran! You don't get it at all~!
Ran
I don't get you at all, Himari.
Himari
Ugh~... Don't come asking me for the photos later because you're not getting them! ... Nice, the perfect shat! Alright, now let's dig in ♪
Himari
Mmm~... So good! It's so fluffy, and this flavor~! You can feel it melting in your mouth~!
Tomoe
Just one bite, and it's like a mood switch has been flipped.
Ran
Himari, you're so easy to figure out...
Himari
Hey! I got a picture of the pancakes, but I want a picture of all of us together too!
Tsugumi
That's a great idea! Especially with how long it's been since we've gone on a trip together! Let's do it!
Ran
Fine, as long as you don't post any pictures of me online.
Himari
What~?! Ran, you never let me have any fun~...! But if that's what you really want, consider it done!
Tomoe
Now, with all that in mind... Let's hurry up and take a picture! Know how you wanna do it?
Himari
How about taking a group shot first? Get everyone together like this with the ocean in the background...
Ran
... You can't see the ocean at all.
Tomoe
Probably better if I hold the camera then... There, look at how much more scenery gets in the shot. All I have to do is stretch out my arm.
Moca
Ohh~, Tomo-chin, you're so cool~.
Tomoe
Hehe, I know, right~? Alright... Smile, everyone!
Himari
Oh! It's perfect~ ♪ Okay, what to do next~...
Moca
Hii-chan, Hii-chan. Make it look like I'm holding the island in my hand~.
Himari
Ah, that's a good one! Let's do that! Moca, move your hand closer to me...
Tsugumi
Moca-chan, move a little to the right...! Ah, sorry, I meant left! Ah, too far! Too far!
Moca
Ahh~, where should I go~?
Tomoe
Hahaha. Looks like they're having fun.
Ran
We've been so busy with practice lately, we haven't had time to just hang out... This might be just the break everyone needed.
Tomoe
What about you, Ran? Are you enjoying yourself?
Ran
Mhm, same as always.
Tomoe
Yeah? That's good.
Tsugumi
Fufu! Moca-chan, this photo came out really well!
Moca
Lemme see~. Which one~?
Tsugumi
This one! I know! Next we should do a... a... Achoo!
Moca
Are you cold~? I thought you might be... It is pretty chilly.
Himari
Aha... I'm actually a little cold too...
Tomoe
Ahaha... I was thinking the same thing...
Ran
This is basically iced caf" au lait now.
Himari
I-I'm sorry. I'm the one who pushed for sitting outside, so I didn't want to say anything...
Tsugumi
There's nothing to be sorry about! I'm glad we sat out here. The view of the ocean from here is grea-... Achoo!
Himari
Tsugu~!! I'm so sorry~!!
Tomoe
Ahaha. I don't think we can stick around for much longer, but the pancakes were delicious and the view was fantastic. So don't worry about it.
Moca
Worry about your pancakes instead~. If you don't hurry up, they're gonna get cold, you know~.
Himari
Ngh... I'll eat them extra fast-...!
Transcript
Himari
Delicious pancakes, beautiful scenery... That café was the best~. If it wasn't for the cold, it would have been perfect~ ♪
Tomoe
So, where are we headed next? What's close by that Himari would have seen online...? Ah, maybe the aquarium?
Himari
Ah! Ding ding ding! That's right~! Leave it to Tomoe to read my mind~.
Tsugumi
Ohh~! The aquarium! I wanted to see that too.
Ran
Alright, then it's decided. Let's just hurry up and get to somewhere warm. Moca, you're okay with that, right?
Moca
Mmm~...? Hmm~.
Tomoe
What's up, Moca? Why do you keep looking around like that?
Moca
It's just~... All these shops look so tasty~. My eyes just keep jumping from one to the other.
Ran
We just finished all those pancakes, but you've still got room for more, huh?
Moca
Hehe~. Of course I can. My stomach is a black hole~.
Tsugumi
Looks like they have... bread with fish? And those look like meat skewers... but they're made of crackers? I'm not sure what those foods are like, but they seem delicious. I wonder if they're local specialties.
Moca
Ah. I think I want that~. Look over there. They're selling those octopus cracker thingies.
Tomoe
They'd be easy to eat while walking with the way they're made. How about we grab some and chow down on our way to the aquarium?
Moca
Yahoo~. Well, alright~. If you insist~.
Himari
Check out that line though, you guys...
Tsugumi
Yeah... They look tasty, but... if we get in that line, we're not going to get to the aquarium until much later...
Ran
And I can't take the cold anymore.
Moca
No~, my octopus crackers... My precious octopus... crackers...
Ran
Moca, hurry up. It's freezing.
Moca
My octopus crackers~...
Himari
Wow! The jellyfish tank is so pretty! Gotta get a snapshot of this ♪ Ah, check it out! If you take a picture in black and white, it looks super mystical~!
Tomoe
Haha... You're taking pictures here too, huh...?
Moca
Oh... Hey, look~. I see turtles and stuff over there~. Let's go~.
Ran
Okay, sounds good.
Tomoe
... Cool, I think we've seen everything. What should we do next? Head out?
Tsugumi
U-uhm... If we still have time, do you guys want to see the dolphin show? It looks like it's going to start in a little bit.
Ran
Oh yeah... You've always been a big fan of those, haven't you, Tsugumi?
Himari
That's right! 'Kay, since we're here, we might as well check it out!
Tsugumi
Thank you! The signs say it's this way! Follow me!
Moca
Ah, Tsugu~... And she's gone. We better catch up~.
Tsugumi
Look, the bleachers up front are empty! Is everyone okay with that?
Himari
Of course! Let's get a VIP view of the show ♪
Tomoe
Oh, it's starting! These seats are great. Getting to watch from the front is always so much more intense. This was a fantastic idea, Tsugu!
Tsugumi
...
Ran
Tsugumi... Looks like you've only got eyes for the dolphins, huh...?
Tsugumi
Ehehe... Well, it's not every day you get to see a dolphin show. I want to make sure I remember every single moment.
Himari
Why do you like dolphin shows so much anyways?
Tsugumi
How cute they are is one easy answer, but
Tsugumi
I also think it's really lovely to see how much the trainer and the dolphins trust each other! ... Wow! Did you see that jump?!
Ran
That was pretty impressive...! Yeah, there's no way they'd be able to perform like this if they didn't trust each other.
Himari
Whoa~! Tsugu, look! A ring is coming down from the ceiling. Are they... gonna jump through that?!
Tomoe
It's really high up there... You think they'll reach it?
Tsugumi
I-I'm getting nervous for them...! Ah! Look! They're swimming in circles to build up speed!
Himari
Whoa~! They're going so fast!!
Tsugumi
The trainer just raised their hands! You can do it, dolphins~!!
Himari
Oh! Oh! This'll make a great photo!
Ran
... Hey, so... what are we supposed to do about this? I'm soaked to the bone...
Tomoe
Getting to watch from the front row really is more intense!! Ahaha, ha... Achoo!
Himari
And we finally warmed up too...
Moca
... So cold.
Transcript
Tomoe
Sea breeze and wet hair... So cold...
Tsugumi
I-I'm sorry, everyone! This is all because I said I wanted to watch the show from the front...
Tomoe
It's fine, don't worry about it! Getting splashed on is one of the best parts of a dolphin show!
Ran
Besides, we should have realized this would happen. We're just as much at fault as you.
Himari
And now we have these super cute hooded towels because of it!
Moca
They made for great photos too~. See, that octopus towel really suits you, Ran.
Ran
... Moca, delete that picture this instant.
Moca
Okay, okay~. No use putting up a fight~.
Ran
... You didn't delete it, did you...?
Moca
Hey now~, didn't we just witness a great display of trust between those dolphins and their trainers~? Have a little faith in me here. Do you really trust me that little~?
Ran
Sigh~... I know I should have gone to the gift shop myself... Why on earth did I trust you and Himari? I'm such an idiot...
Himari
H-hey, come on now~! This is just another fond memory we'll have of this trip! O-oh yeah, your towel is so cute, Tsugu~! Maybe I should have gone with a dolphin too.
Tsugumi
I think you penguin towel is cute too, though. Actually, everyone's towel fits them so well. A shark for Tomoe-chan, a coelacanth for Moca-chan...
Ran
And my octopus...?
Moca
Don't worry~, Ran, your octopus is cute too~.
Ran
Forget about whether it's cute or not, why an octopus? I think a shark like Tomoe's would have been better...
Tomoe
Ahaha. It's a good thing we left it up to Himari.
Himari
Right~? Moca and I make an amazing team. Our choices are absolutely perfect ♪
Ran
Moca, why did I get the octopus?
Moca
You've got a streak of red in your hair, right~? Therefore... similar?
Ran
Uhm... You know what, whatever.
Tsugumi
We've dried off for the most part, but now that the sun's starting to set, it's pretty cold...
Himari
Ah! I almost forgot! Tomoe, you wanted to see the sunset, right?
Tomoe
Ah~... Yeah, I did, but it's okay. I mean, I had such a good time with you guys today, I don't need anything else. It's no big deal if we miss it...
Himari
What?! No way~! The entire reason we came here in the first place was that you wanted to see the sunset, remember?
Moca
Yeah~. And we got up extra early and everything~.
Tsugumi
Tomoe-chan, come on, let's go watch the sunset together!
Tomoe
Ahaha... Thanks, you guys.
Tsugumi
The sun's starting to go down, so we we should probably hurry, shouldn't we?
Himari
Yeah. In this time of year, it gets dark before you even realize it.
Tsugumi
Tomoe-chan, where was the sunset in that photobook taken? Is it close to here?
Tomoe
No, we probably have to take the train somewhere. From what I remember, that picture was of the ocean with Inoshima in the background.
Ran
What? 'Probably'? ... What about the station name?
Tomoe
... Huh? Oh yeah, good question... I figured we'd just run into it if we walked around enough...
Moca
That's Tomo-chin for you, never bothering to check the details~...
Tomoe
S-sorry...
Himari
S-so what should we do?! If we don't know where it is, we won't be able to see the same scenery as that photo~!
Tomoe
Ah, in that case... Why don't we just kill some more time and then watch the sunset from here instead? I'm sure it's just as beautiful.
Himari
But then what was the point of coming~? You wanted to see that exact sunset from the photo, right?
Tomoe
I-I mean... Yeah, but... I don't want to rush everyone... So, you know...
Ran
We came all the way here, so we should do everything we came here to do. Besides, looks like we still have some time before the sun sets all the way.
Ran
You don't have to be shy around us, Tomoe. That's just not who we are. It's not what we do.
Tsugumi
I agree! Don't worry, Tomoe-chan, we'll find the place where they took the picture!
Tomoe
O-okay...! Thanks.
Ran
Cool. For now, let's head back to the station. We can figure out where we're going from there and still have enough time.
Moca
The sun's not gonna wait while we stand here anyway~. Alrighty, we better hurry~.
Tsugumi
No question about that! Everyone, to the station!
Tomoe
...
Himari
Isn't this great, Tomoe?!
Tomoe
... Yeah.
Transcript
Moca
... Okay, so~... where's the station?
Himari
U-uhm... I think if we go straight... No, wait. Maybe it's this way?
Ran
Wouldn't it be easier if we had a map?
Tsugumi
Yeah, let me pull one up on my phone. Uhh~, if we're here...
Tomoe
Should we start by going right?
Moca
Huh? You mean east?
Himari
But my phone says we can get there by following this road too.
Tsugumi
Doesn't that route look more complicated though? We wouldn't want to get lost on our way there...
Moca
I can't say for sure, but~... can't we just follow everyone else? They all look like they're done with their sightseeing for the day.
Tomoe
... Good plan. Let's do that.
Himari
Ah! There's a sign! Looks like we're headed the right way. Thank goodness~.
Moca
Ah...!
Tomoe
Moca, what's wrong?
Moca
Remember the line for octopus crackers?! Look...!
Himari
Whoa! It's so short now!
Moca
F-forgive me, friends... But you must save yourselves. Don't worry about me... I'll hold them off!
Himari
What are you talking about, Moca?! You just wanna eat octopus crackers!
Ran
Do we have time for this though? The sun's going down a lot since we left the aquarium.
Tomoe
I mean... We know where we're going, and the station's only ten minutes away. So I don't see why not.
Moca
Oh, glorious Tomoe-sama~!
Tomoe
We made the trip out here, so we should do everything we came here to do. Didn't you say that earlier, Ran?
Himari
That's a good po9int. Come on, Moca, let's go get some octopus crackers!
Moca
Hii-chan, you wanted some too, didn't you~?
Himari
E-ehehe... I figured it'd be nice to if we had time~.
Moca
Sorry for the wait~.
Ran
Whoa, they're huge!
Tomoe
So octopus crackers are this monstrous, huh...? You can actually hide your face with it.
Himari
The shopkeeper said they use a whole octopus when making these! Isn't that amazing?! Mmm~! And it's so good~!! Would you like some, Tomoe?
Moca
How about you guys~? Ran? Tsugu? Wanna bite~?
Tsugumi
Thank you! Mm... Mmm~! It's delicious!
Ran
Yeah. The flavor's. The smell's nice too.
Himari
Tomoe, Tomoe! Take a picture of me and my octopus cracker!
Tomoe
Okay, okay. Alright, now just stand right there... Perfect. Got it.
Moca
Ran~, put on your towel. Let's get a shot of Octopus Ran and the octopus cracker~.
Ran
No! Get outta here with that!
Tsugumi
Fufu. But it would make such a cute picture.
Ran
Not you too, Tsugu... Ah! We don't have time to be playing around! C'mon, we have to hurry!
Tomoe
Gah! We got distracted again... Time sure flies when you're having fun, huh~...?
Himari
Let's run to the station, you guys!
Moca
Okeydokey~. Time for you all to witness my supersonic speed~.
Tsugumi
... Ah!
Tomoe
What is it, Tsugu?!
Tsugumi
Eve-chan asked me to bring her back something, but I didn't get to buy it...
Ran
... Too late now... We'll apologize to her together.
Tomoe
I'm sorry, Tsugu...
Tsugumi
No, it's my fault for forgetting... Forgive me, Eve-chan~!
Moca
Ahaha~. I'm sure she heard you~.
Eve
...?!
Transcript
Himari
Okay... Ready? No one's looked yet, right?
Moca
I can't see a thing~.
Himari
Alright, when I count to three, open your eyes! One... two... three!
Tomoe
...!
Tsugumi
This sunset... It's amazing...
Ran
Even better than I expected...
Himari
See! That was a great plan I came up with, right?! I told you this was the way to go!
Tomoe
Yeah, when you first suggested we avoid looking at the sun while we headed to the seaside, I had my doubts.
Himari
I just thought the sunset might lose some of its magic if we accidentally saw it from the station.
Tomoe
Yeah, makes sense now. To think it'd be this breath-taking...
Moca
Your mission was a total success, Hii-chan~.
Ran
You're living up to your title as leader.
Himari
Fufu~! Go on, please continue! ... Ah! But I can't waste this perfect sunset! I have to capture this moment!
Tsugumi
Me too! Ran-chan, Moca-chan, are you sure you don't want to take a picture?
Ran
Might as well... Uhm... Like this?
Moca
Jeez~, Ran. Why are you taking a black and white photo? What's even the point~?
Ran
I... But Himari said that black and white photos get more likes, right?
Tsugumi
B-but, Ran-chan... You don't really post online.
Ran
Oh, yeah... Right... Sigh, I'm really not cut out for this sort of thing.
Moca
The way this photo looks though? It's got your name written all over it. Maybe you should save it.
Ran
Yeah. I guess so.
Tomoe
... This sunset is a hundred times better in person. That photograph didn't even come close.
Tsugumi
Mhm, I agree! I definitely want pictures, but I also want to burn the image of this sunset into my mind.
Himari
Burn... Burn... Burn~!!
Tomoe
Ahaha, opening your eyes wide like that's not gonna do anything~.
Moca
Okay, then how else do you burn something into your mind~?
Tomoe
Huh? Uhm... Well, instead of your eyes... you just gotta use your heart, know what I mean...?
Ran
Haha, you don't know either, do you?
Tomoe
N-no, that's not- Ah... Ah... Achoo!!
Ran
Whoa, Tomoe. You oka-... Achoo!
Himari
Everything alright, you two?
Tomoe
Ahaha. I guess coming to Inoshima during this time of year really wasn't the best idea. Sorry, guys.
Himari
Don't apologize, Tomoe~! I was the one who made us sit outside on the terrace at the pancake place...
Tsugumi
And I'm the one who insisted we sit in the front row at the dolphin show... I'm sorry, everyone.
Ran
But isn't it our own fault for going along with everything? We're all equally guilty.
Moca
Yup. Super guilty partners in crime... Such criminals~!
Tomoe
You know, a lot happened today, but I think those things were part of the fun too... I guess I can't be the one to decide that though...
Himari
But you're right! It might have been a day filled with chaos, but I had a really good time!
Moca
Enjoying... chaos? I know it. We reeally are criminals~.
Tsugumi
Tomoe-chan, when we were looking at the photobook at school, I could tell you were holding back... You really wanted us to come here, didn't you? I'm glad you got your wish.
Tomoe
Ts-Tsugu, you noticed?! ... Ahaha, aw man, I feel so lame...
Himari
Tomoe, for someone who's always pushing and encouraging us, you always have a hard time expressing your own wants and needs~. Like you're trying to hide your true feelings or something.
Ran
Haha, I get that.
Tomoe
A-are you serious, Ran?! Look who's talking...! But you have a point... Guys, thanks for today. I don't think I would've had as much fun without you all here with me.
Tsugumi
No problem! ... Ah, look! The sun's almost completely set!
Moca
Oh~, it is~. Sunsets really do go by fast... But part of what makes them great is that they're... fleeting? Ah~, so fleeting~!
Himari
C-cut it out~! That's not what Kaoru-senpai sounds like at all~!
Tomoe
Haha. Well, that sunset may have only lasted a moment, but our friendship will last a lifetime!
Ran
Tomoe, what... was that?
Tomoe
Dunno. I suddenly got the urge to say that. Maybe it's because we've got yet another sunset-related moment to look back on.
Himari
Yeah, another one for the books...! And speaking of, how about we take one final picture together?
Moca
Uhm, but it's already dark out, so won't it be kinda pointless?
Himari
Huh?! W-we just have to try...! Please, you guys~!
