Kohane

Listen

This was so much fun, but it's really coming to an end.
2

Honami

Listen

Yes. We'll be on the bus home soon.
3

Emu

Listen

But we're still here and we still have time, so it's not over yet!
4

Saki

Listen

Yeah, Emu's right!
Let's have as much fun as we possibly can until we have to get on that bus!
5

Kohane

Listen

Hehe. Let's!
6

Kohane

Listen

What should we do first?
7

Emu

Listen

Oh, pick me! There's actually this place I want to check out♪
8

Emu

Listen

I went exploring when I had some free time and found a spot where there's a ton of shells and sparkly rocks!
9

Honami

Listen

Sparkly rocks...?
10

Kohane

Listen

Oh, are you talking about sea glass?
11

Emu

Listen

Yeah, those!
12

Saki

Listen

Oh, sea glass...!
I've been wanting to find some too!
13

Kohane

Listen

Then let's go see!
14

Emu

Listen

Yay! This way, everyone☆
15

Emu

Listen

Here we are♪
Let's start looking!
16

Saki

Listen

Thanks, Emu!
Alright, time to find some sea glass...!
17

Kohane

Listen

Oh, I found some!
I see piles of small ones here and there too!
18

Saki

Listen

You're right! They're so colorful!
19

Kohane

Listen

Yeah, they are!
20

Kohane

Listen

(I wonder if we could make something since there's so much.)
21

Emu

Listen

Hmm...
22

Kohane

Listen

Emu, are you not taking any?
23

Emu

Listen

I will. Later.
I'm looking for stars right now.
24

Kohane

Listen

Stars?
Are you looking for a starfish?
25

Emu

Listen

No, they're really really small. A lot smaller than a starfish.
26

Emu

Listen

When I was little, my mom went to do volunteer work on this tropical island and brought back this little bottle full of tiny stars!
27

Honami

Listen

It came from a tropical island...?
Was it a bottle of star sand?
28

Kohane

Listen

Yes, I think it was too.
29

Kohane

Listen

But I'm not really sure if you'll be able to find any here.
30

Honami

Listen

Yes, that may be quite challenging. The water here would need to be very clean and rife with live coral reefs like in the tropics...
31

Emu

Listen

I guess you're right. That's too bad...
32

Saki

Listen

Yeah, it sounds like there's only a few places in the world where you can find them.
33

Saki

Listen

But star-shaped sand does sound really cool. I don't think I've ever seen any before.
34

Emu

Listen

Yeah! I wonder how they became that way...
35

Saki

Listen

Hmm... Maybe they were like that to begin with? No, they'd become round like sea glass over time...
36

Emu

Listen

Oh, I know! What if they're rocks that become all pointy really easily?
37

Emu

Listen

As they're tossed and turned in the water, they'll bump into lots of things and eventually become stars!
38

Saki

Listen

Yeah, you might be right!
39

Kohane

Listen

I think I heard somewhere once that they're the remains of a certain type of microbe.
40

Honami

Listen

Yes, I believe you're right...
41

Honami

Listen

But I'd hate to ruin their fun since they seem to be enjoying themselves so much.
42

Kohane

Listen

Hehe. I feel the same way.
43

Kohane

Listen

We found so much sea glass!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

44

Saki

Listen

Yeah, we did! We might even be able to make something using them!
45

Kohane

Listen

Oh, I was wondering if we could do that too.
46

Kohane

Listen

Like decorating a photo frame with them or something...
47

Honami

Listen

A photo frame?
48

Kohane

Listen

Yeah! You could take an ordinary wooden or plastic photo frame from the store and paste sea glass on them.
49

Kohane

Listen

You could even make a sort of mosaic with them and give the photo frame more life.
50

Saki

Listen

Whoa! And we could frame pics from our Seaside School trip in them!
51

Emu

Listen

Yeah! That's a super wonderhoy idea!
52

Honami

Listen

I agree! I still wasn't sure what gifts to bring back for everyone, but this would be perfect.
53

Honami

Listen

Would you mind telling us how to make them, Kohane?
54

Saki

Listen

Oh, I wanna learn too!
55

Emu

Listen

Me too! Me too!
56

Kohane

Listen

Yes, of course.
But we'll need to find some suitable photo frames for our sea glass first...
57

Saki

Listen

Oh, does that mean we're gonna go shopping sometime soon?!
58

Emu

Listen

Yay! That sounds like so much fun!
59

Honami

Listen

Hehe. Then why don't we pick a date that works for all of us while we head back to our room?
60

Kohane

Listen

Yeah, they are!
