Sayo
I believe we've done a complete search of this area.
Sayo
Let's head back. Imai-san and Udagawa-san are probably waiting for us with Minato-san already.
Sayo
...Shirokane-san?
Rinko
Ah... Y-yes... Sorry.
Sayo
Don't worry about it. More importantly, what's wrong? Is something on your mind?
Rinko
Um... This dragon... I just think it's... really cool...
Sayo
Do you mean this statue of a dragon?
Sayo
Now that you mention it, there is an awful lot of dragon imagery around this town.
Rinko
That's right. From the bronze statue in the town center... to the shop signs... and the graffiti on the walls... they're all dragon themed...
Sayo
I wonder if there's a reason for it.
Sayo
It certainly is a traditional motif for fantasy works, but for dragon imagery to be this prevalent...
Rinko
I think... that they must be connected... to this world's history...
Rinko
At least.. that's the lore... that they've come up with...
Sayo
This world's history? Could you tell me a little more?
Rinko
Yes... The peoole of this park... No, this world... have worshipped dragons since ancient times...
Rinko
When making a particularly important promise... They even say... "I swear upon the Dragon."
Rinko
That's why... dragons are so special to... the people of this world...
Sayo
"I swear upon the Dragon..." I see. So essentially, they're similar to what we would consider gods.
Rinko
Yes... There are also many more... interesting facts... to talk about...
Rinko
Such as how this world... isn't round, but flat... the edges end in waterfalls.
Rinko
One kingdom on the western continent... speaks in a very distinct dialect... similar to... a Kansai dialect...
Rinko
There's also witches... The witches... in this world are...
Rinko
Ah... F-forgive me... I'm rambling...
Sayo
No. I don't mind that... But where did you learn all of this information?
Sayo
I looked at the theme park's website before coming here, but there wasn't anything as detailed as what you're describing...
Rinko
I just... happened to find a site... that had information... about the setting of the theme park...
Rinko
I found it... late last night... so what I mentioned just now... is all that l was able to read...
Rinko
If only I had done better research... I could help more... with these missions...
Sayo
You don't need to worry about that.
Sayo
Still, Shirokane-san, your ability to focus on a subject never fails to amaze me.
Sayo
Not only did you research the park, but you also investigated the world being referenced...
Sayo
That passion of yours motivates you to dig deep for answers... I'd like it if that rubbed off on me.
Rinko
No, th-that's... just because... I was interested in the subject...
Rinko
This park is... designed to make you... more curious about the world it creates...
Rinko
That's why I... was so interested... Um... It's really nothing special...
Sayo
Don't be so modest. You've got an unmistakable passion for learning. That's a fact.
Rinko
U-um... I... Thank you very much...
Rinko
This... really is an amazing theme park, though.
Rinko
We may not have time now... but I would like to... enjoy this place's atmosphere more.
Sayo
Yes. Me too.
Sayo
But before that, first, we have to clear this mission.
Sayo
We'll definitely finish this collaboration event, as long as we all work together. Of course, I won't spare any effort either.
Rinko
Fufu... Yes.
Rinko
I will also... do everything that I can... "I swear upon the Dragon."
Sayo
Yes, you're right. "I swear upon the Dragon," too.
Rinko
Fufu...
Rinko
Shall we... get going?
Sayo
Indeed. First, we must find that insignia.
Rinko
Yes... Let's do our best...!

Rinko
Marina-san, BanG Dreamer-san... Hello...
Marina
Hello! Huh? Did you have a reservation today?
Rinko
Ah... No... It's sort of sudden... but Ako-chan said... she wanted to use a studio...
Marina
I see! Wait a second. I'll check to see if any are open.
Marina
But why did you suddenly decide you needed a studio?
Rinko
Um... That's...
Rinko
The tooic... came up... because of the theme park... that Roselia went to recently...
Marina
Now that you mention it, you did say you were all going out together!
Rinko
We were able to... participate in a collaboration event... for a game that Ako-chan and I play...
Rinko
It was an event where we had to... combine our strengths to clear various missions...
Rinko
They were all very difficult... but thanks to everyone's help... we cleared the event...
Marina
Good job! That's Roselia for you!
Rinko
Fufu... Yes...
Rinko
So, um... until just now, I was... playing video games with Ako-chan...
Rinko
The conversation just... naturally turned to the collaboration event... We started talking about... what happened that day...
Rinko
And we remembered how satisfying it felt... to overcome obstacles through teamwork...
Marina
So it fired you two up, huh?
Rinko
Yes...
Rinko
During that time... Yukina-san, Hikawa-san, Imai-san... and of course, Ako-chan... They were all... incredible.
Rinko
There was... some confusion at first... but that quickly disappeared... We started communicating... and covering each other's weak points...
Rinko
Some things... did not go according to plan... But everyone's desire to keep moving forward... came through very strongly...
Rinko
I think I was able to feel... the strength of Roselia's bond... Fufu... Well... I may be exaggerating...
Marina
No, I don't think you are at all!
Marina
When you're full of motivation, you just want to, I don't know, burst into a sprint... It makes you feel all restless inside!
Rinko
That's exactly it...
Rinko
We should have called ahead... to make sure... there was a studio open... We completely forgot...
Marina
Ahaha, gotcha!
Marina
Don't you worry. We've got just the right space for you. Practice to your hearts' content!
Rinko
Yes... Thank you very much...!
Rinko
Fufu... Ako-chan... I wonder if she'll be here soon...
