Monster: RAWRRRRR!
|
|
Kirara: Ugh! It's tougher than expected!
|
|
Mira & Ao: Uwaaaaah......
|
|
Kirara: Mira-san, Ao-san, look out!
|
|
Mira & Ao: S-Save us!!
|
|
???: That's enough, vile beast who dares to threaten peace! I'll be your opponent!
|
|
Mira: Eh? Umm......who're you?
|
|
???: I'll explain later. First things first, let's claim our victory over this monster!
|
|
Monster: Gurrrrr....(retreats)
|
|
???: Seems like the danger has left us. Are you hurt?
|
|
Mira: Thank you so much!
|
|
Ao: We would've been done for if we're all alone. You're a great help.
|
|
Iri§: If it means I can be of help, I'm happy to contribute every last ounce of my abilities.
|
|
Kirara: Ah! You're......
|
|
Kirara: Iri§-sensei!
|
|
Ao: ......I-Iris?
|
|
Kirara: Correct. I am Iri§. Formerly in the earthly world, I lived my life in disguise as a student......
|
|
Mira & Ao: ...........
|
|
Iri§: However, as I seek to weave the irresolute tales inside me, I've now become a traveler who wanders in the another world known as Etoilia.
|
|
Mira & Ao: ...........
|
|
Ayame: ......Ha, ahaha! I'm just joking! Sorry, I might've gotten a bit hyped up that I got into that weird character......
|
|
Kirara: I knew you're as marvelous as always, Iri§-sensei! You've been gathering inspiration for new stories just like that, haven't you!?
|
|
Ayame: Eh?
|
|
Kirara: Mira-san, Ao-san. Iri§-sensei has written many ingenious and captivating stories.
|
|
Mira: That's so cool! She's like a bard you'd meet in a video game!
|
|
Ao: As expected of another world. Never could you meet someone this great anywhere else.
|
|
Ayame: Ah, uh well, that's...how should I put it......
|
|
Kirara: I'm looking forward to your new work, Sensei!
|
|
Mira: Let me read it too, please!
|
|
Ao: I'd like to read it too!
|
|
Shiina: Vicarious embarrassmeeeeent!!
|
|
Shiina: Cough, cough...I'm sorry......I just couldn't bear to watch.
|
|
Ayame: Shii!
|
|
Kirara: Ah, so you're here too, Shiina-san.
|
|
Shiina: I heard everything in the shade of a tree, Iri§-sensei.
|
|
Ayame: Uhh, Shii......
|
|
Shiina: For this situation, I think it would've gone much better if you stayed in character. I mean, Kirara-san was playing along too......
|
|
Ayame: Are you here just to complicate things for me!!?
|
|
Kirara: What were you two doing here?
|
|
Shiina: We heard there's a place nearby that could perhaps provide us inspiration for the SNS Club's next title.
|
|
Iri§: Ahem! T-The waterside where stardust glitters. We had been straying in search of its glamour.
|
|
Kirara: Ah! Same here.
|
|
Iri§: Through the trees, we had a glimpse of the colorful rays of light......It was like a treasure chest.
|
|
Iri§: For a while, our eyes were glued to the spectacle. However, we heard voices calling for help.
|
|
Shiina: Simply put, while we were writing a scenario by the river, we heard your screams.
|
|
Mira: So that's what happened......Huh, then Iri§-sensei, Shiina-san, have you two spotted "the waterside where stardust glitters"?
|
|
Ayame: Eh, well......Yes, indeed! As the rumors suggested, it was so fantastical that it could draw you in.
|
|
Shiina: It's over there. Would you all like to go take a look?
|
|
Ao: Y-Yes, definitely.
|
|
(Transition)
|
|
Shiina: Right here.
|
|
Mira: The lights surrounding the lake are flickering with a pale green hue......What are these?
|
|
Ao: They're......fireflies.
|
|
Iri§: This place is known for its clear waters. In this time of the year, you can spot a swarm of fireflies around.
|
|
Mira: They're so pretty......
|
|
Ao: We don't often get to see this many fireflies together, do we.
|
|
Mira: Ao! Come check this out!! The stones underneath are glittering as they reflect the fireflies' light!
|
|
Ao: They really are. It's like...the Milky Way......
|
|
Mira: What are those stones called? The ones that are reflecting the light.
|
|
Ao: They're in a translucent green. Looks like chrysoprase to me.
|
|
TL: (From Wikipedia) Chrysoprase is a gemstone variety of chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline form of silica, that contains small quantities of nickel. Its color is normally apple-green, but varies to deep green.
|
|
Mira: I want to show this to Sakura-senpai~!
|
|
Ao: If only we can take these back.
|
|
Ayame: Phew. I'm happy that those two seem delighted.
|
|
Shiina: Yeah......though you three wanted to see real stars, don't you? This is probably an unfortunate outcome......
|
|
Kirara: No, not at all. Besides, we'll be going to see the meteor shower tomorrow.
|
|
Shiina: Meteor shower?
|
|
Kirara: Apparently, there's a meteor shower that's only visible from a beach town up ahead.
|
|
Ayame: Huh! That's news to me!
|
|
Kirara: I'm sure we'll be able to see real stars there.
|
|
Mira: Heeey, Kirara-chaaan! The water's cool and refreshing here~
|
|
Mira: Get over here too~!
|
|
Kirara: Coming!
|
|
Shiina: Aya, have you seen enough fireflies?
|
|
Ayame: The promised site where people look up at meteor showers, stars visible only in one night......It's coming to me. The inspiration's coming to me......Fwheh!
|
|
Shiina: ......The deadline for the plot won't be postponed because of this, just saying.
