AKI: "And you must be Haruka. We've talked before but it's great to finally meet you in person."
HARUKA: "It's great to meet you too! Thank you for having me today."
AKI: "No, no, I should be thanking you for having me! It's not everyday that anyone gets to hang out with Shinonome Academy's number one school idol."
HARUKA: "Y-You knew? Did Kanata tell you that?"
KANATA: "Don't look at me, he's the guy with the extensive school idol knowledge."
AKI: "Give me a break, but more importantly, let's get our fishing on!"
HARUKA: "Yes, let's! I've actually never been fishing before, so I've been pretty excited about it."
AKI: "I hope we reel in a big one!"
KANATA: "I wonder what kind of fish we can catch around Numazu?"
AKI: "I don't have the slightest idea. Kanan might know, though."
KANATA: "I wonder what we're gonna catch? We haven't even started yet and I'm already having a blast."
AKI: "With fishing, comes food. I'm looking forward to the tasty meal afterwards."
KANATA: "Just one more reason to reel in a big haul."
AKI: "I'm so excited! I wish we were already there."
Hmm, come to think of it, I didn't tell Aqours that we were heading to their neck of the woods.
I should let Chika know. And Kanan's parents' store might have some fishing equipment we can rent out.
...
CHIKA: "Over here!"
AKI: "Chika! Kanan! Sorry for dropping in so suddenly."
KANAN: "Don't mention it. We had nothing but time on our hands anyway."
HARUKA: "I'm Kanata's little sister, Haruka. Thank you for having me today."
CHIKA: "Oh, wow! You're so put-together!"
KANAN: "Yeah, she has a much better handle on things than you, Chika. Nice to have you here today, Haruka."
HARUKA: "Getting to meet two people from Aqours is so inspiring! This experience alone makes coming here today all worth my while."
CHIKA: "Aw, you're such a sweetheart!"
KANATA: "I know, right? Haruka really is a good kid. I'm always so proud of my little sister."
HARUKA: "Oh, Kanata..."
CHIKA: "Aww, I wish I had a little sister."
KANATA: *Chuckle* "Haruka's exceptionally cute. Oh! By the way, what kind of fish are there here in Numazu?"
KANAN: "You can catch a lot of different fish around here, but it's mostly horse mackerel and regular ol' mackerel."
KANATA: "Ooh! Now that sounds tasty."
KANAN: "I've already got the fishing gear ready so why don't we head off right now?"
...
CHIKA: "Oh my gosh, this is SO tasty!"
KANAN: "I know, right? Whoever knew your run-of-the-mill fish could taste this good?!"
KANATA: "I'm glad you like it."
AKI: "Your cooking...is so delicious...Kanata.... Please....marry me."
KANATA: *Giggle* "Oh, I'd be delighted. Wouldn't that be something?"
AKI: "Fishing is a lot of fun too. I was so into it, I lost track of time."
KANAN: "Well, given how much you caught, it's not hard to see why. You might have a special knack for it, Haruka. I never would've guessed this was your first time."
HARUKA: "Thank you very much. I think I might be a bit hooked on it."
KANATA: "Sounds like Numazu was the right call."
...
AKI: "Wow, we're back and it's already dark out."
HARUKA: "Um... I want to thank you!"
AKI: "Don't mention it, thanks for coming. Felt great to see you in person, Haruka."
HARUKA: "Um, not thanks for that... Kanata seems to be having a lot of fun now that she's a school idol. All she ever talks about at home is you.
That's why I wanted to thank you. I wanted to wait until I could tell you face-to-face. Please look after her for me."
AKI: "You must really live your sister, Haruka. Well, you don't have to worry one bit. I'll be there for her from here on out."
HARUKA: "Oh, my sister's coming back. Here, a...um...friend of mine wanted me to give you this."
AKI: "A letter?"
HARUKA: "Don't worry about it, read it when you're back at home."
KANATA: "Hey, what are you two getting all buddy-buddy over here for! No fair! I want in too!"
...
Well, the anticipation is killing me, I should open up the letter Haruka gave me.
AKI: "Hmm..."
Huh?
Akihiko Suzuki,
I wish to discuss something with you. Please can you meet me at Café Manmaru in Yuigaoka straight after school on Tuesday?
-A friend
Café Manmaru? Huh, sounds familiar...
Haruka said this note was from a friend of hers, so it could be a member of the Shinonome Academy School Idol Club.
Well, guess we gotta go to Café Manmaru on Tuesday to find out.
