The day of the field trip
Yokohama
Ichika
Seeing all those rows of books at the History Archive Museum was pretty amazing. It was also helpful that there were photos included with the documents they had on display.
Haruka
And the building itself was very beautiful. I think that kind of architecture is referred to as “retro-modern”.
Ichika
It did have its own presence.
Saki was freaking out and yelling “this place is so pretty!”

Saki
What?! I wasn't freaking out!
I was just regular excited—
I was just regular excited—
Saki
Whoa! Oh my gosh, look! The water!
The seagulls are playing together!
The seagulls are playing together!
Haruka
Hehe, and history repeats itself.
Haruka
But I understand how freeing this feels. The smell of the sea is also very refreshing.
Classmate
Hey, Kiritani. I've been wondering for a while, but are those glasses...supposed to be a disguise?
Haruka
Oh, yes. I don't usually wear a pair, but since I'm here with all of you today, I wouldn't want to cause a ruckus because of a fan spotting me.
Classmate
Y-You...really are a star!
Classmate
But, I do see a lot of pictures taken of celebrities I like uploaded onto social media. I guess celebrities have it tough, huh?
Haruka
Well... It can be tough, but fans show their support in different ways, and that support always makes me happy.
Classmate
Wow... You really do think about your fans, Kiritani!
Teacher
And I think that's enough chatter for the time being.
Teacher
Alright, you will now have free time. Please assemble into your groups before heading off.
Teacher
I will be doing a roll call before dismissing you home, so please be at the station by 5 p.m. sharp. If there are any problems, contact me immediately.
Saki
Understood!
Teacher
Hehe, I like your attitude, Tenma.
Teacher
Alright everyone, do not forget that you are all representatives of Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy. But at the same time, go have fun and enjoy yourselves.
Students
Understood!
Saki
Okie dokie, everybody! Off we go!
Haruka
I think we have the ship tour first on our itinerary.
Saki
Yup! I know the view from the deck is supposed to be really nice, but I can't wait to see the captain's cabin and stuff either!
Haruka
I feel the same way. We should make the most of this opportunity, so let's take our time looking around.
Ship Deck
Ichika
Wow, I didn't realize how large a ship's deck is.
Haruka
Just like the guidebook said, the view from here is really beautiful. You get to see the city and the water, and pretty far out on a sunny day like this.
Saki
Oh, there's a tower over there! I bet we could get an even better look from the top of that! You think we'd be able to see the Ferris wheel across the way?
Saki
Apparently this ship was used to host parties and stuff before. I wonder if this is what celebrities did to have fun.
Inoue
I'm sure they did! I bet they were thinking how nice the sea breeze felt when they were up here...
Inoue
Oh, the wind's getting a little stronger... Whoa!
Ichika
Ah! Inoue!
Haruka
Inoue, are you alright?
Inoue
Y-Yeah...
Haruka
Please be careful. It would be awful if you hurt yourself.
Inoue
O-Of course. I'm ever so grateful for you saving me...
Ichika
Huh? Why are you talking like that?
Sonoda
She's probably just smitten by Kiritani's idol aura, no?
Inoue
I-It's not like I can help it!
I mean, there's no way anyone could resist that!
I mean, there's no way anyone could resist that!
Haruka
Um... It's a little embarrassing when you put it like that...
Haruka
Anyway, we've had a look around inside the ship, so shall we head over for lunch? I'm starting to feel a little hungry.
Saki
Me too, me too!
I feel like it's only a matter of seconds before my stomach growls.
I feel like it's only a matter of seconds before my stomach growls.
Haruka
Hehe, then we'd better hurry.
Curry Restaurant
Saki
Wow! So this is the curry place you talked about, Haruka?!
Ichika
The terrace seating really adds to the atmosphere.
It looks even better in real life than in the photos.

Haruka
Hehe, it's beautiful, isn't it?
Looks like they aren't that busy right now, so we should be able to get a table.

Saki
Let's hurry up and go in! I'm starving!
Sonoda
Wow, even the interior is really pretty!
Ichika
They have a lot of things on the menu too. This lunch special that comes with Salisbury steak looks really good.
Saki
You came here for work before, right, Haruka? What did you order back then?
Haruka
I had the chicken curry lunch special. At the time, I ordered it with rice, but maybe I'll go with naan this time.
Ichika
Oh, you'll be ordering the chicken curry again? I guess it's just that good, huh.
Saki
Oh no, everything looks so yummy that I can't choose!
I think I'm leaning towards this green curry...
I think I'm leaning towards this green curry...
Haruka
I heard that's really spicy, so maybe be careful.
Saki
What?
Haruka
Another performer who was at the shoot with me had that, and it was so spicy that they fainted from the pain. That curry is apparently quite infamous.
Saki
I didn't know that! Wow, dodged a bullet there... Huh?
Saki
Oh, OH MY GOSH!
Ichika
Wh-What's wrong, Saki?!
Saki
Look! Look over there!
Sonoda
That's...
Saki
That's Haruka's autograph!
Haruka
Huh?
Inoue
Wow, it is!
Ichika
Amazing... Haruka really is famous...
Haruka
Could you all please stop staring at it?
Besides, that's from back when I was in ASRUN.
Besides, that's from back when I was in ASRUN.
Haruka
Also, we should probably order soon so this doesn't eat into our schedule.
Saki
You got it! Alright, I think I'll order...
Saki
Yummm!!!
Saki
The guidebook did say it was authentic, but the spiciness makes it so delicious! I think I'm starting to feel kinda hot...!
Ichika
Haha. I'm glad that the chicken curry isn't so spicy.
I went with rice, but the naan looks really good too.
I went with rice, but the naan looks really good too.
Haruka
Yes, it's very nice and freshly made too.
It's so soft and chewy, I feel like I could eat a whole lot of it.

Saki
*Sigh*
We get to see fun and interesting things, eat delicious foods...I'm so happy. If only we could have field trips every day...

Sonoda
I don't know if that's a good idea.
Inoue
But I totally get how you feel!
Speaking of which, don't we get to go on a school trip next year? I can't wait!
Speaking of which, don't we get to go on a school trip next year? I can't wait!
Ichika
Where do you think we'll get to go for our school trip? Hokkaido? Or maybe Okinawa?
Saki
Some of the second-years in my club were saying that they're going to Kyoto. Right?
Inoue
Oh yeah, they did say that. But I'd rather go to Okinawa.
Haruka
Well, I think it might change when it's our turn. A second-year I know told me that they went to PXL for their field trip.
Saki
Oh, true!
Then I guess we'll just have to wait and see where we get to go for our school trip!
Then I guess we'll just have to wait and see where we get to go for our school trip!
Saki
I hope we get to be in the same group again!
Haruka
In the same group...
Inoue
But we might not be in the same class next year, and then wouldn't we only see each other when everyone gathers?
Saki
I guess that could happen...
But if we're lucky, we might all end up in the same class again!
But if we're lucky, we might all end up in the same class again!
Sonoda
I think there's a limit to luck, though.
Ichika
Hehe, I think so too.
Ichika
Kiritani, are you okay?
Haruka
Oh, yes. It's nothing to worry about.
Haruka
The curry I got was just spicier than I expected.
Haruka
I guess since everyone's done, shall we head out?
Saki
Let's!
In front of the Red Brick Center
Saki
Wow, it's way bigger than I thought!
So this is the Red Brick Center!
So this is the Red Brick Center!
Haruka
It looks pretty retro, or like a building you'd see in another country.
The shops inside are supposed to be just as classy as the exterior, right?

Sonoda
I think so.
I'm pretty sure the guidebook said that there's a Building 1 and a Building 2, but... Is the bigger one Building 1?
I'm pretty sure the guidebook said that there's a Building 1 and a Building 2, but... Is the bigger one Building 1?
Haruka
Actually, it looks like the smaller one is Building 1. Shall we head over there first?
Ichika
Oh, I just remembered. Would it be alright if I went to buy some souvenirs?
Ichika
Since we're already here, I was hoping to get some while we still have time.
Inoue
Yeah, sounds good. I was thinking the same thing!
Saki
Okie dokie! First stop is the souvenir shops, then! Let's go♪
