Didn't practice today feel more springy-springy-boing-boing than normal?!

S-Springy-springy...?

Yes, I agree. We all seemed to be in better form than usual today.

How on earth did you know what she meant by that?

Hehe. Who knows?

Well, anyway!

We seem more than ready to get back to our regular show schedule starting next week!

Yup♪ I can't wait♪

Wait, next week...?

N-Noooo...!!

Wh-What's wrong?!

Why are you shouting all a sudden?!

B-Because...! Next week... I... I...!

C-Calm down...

Is everything gonna be okay...?

Next week, I'm going to the Seaside School♪

Wait, that's it...? You had us going for a second there...

Hehe☆ Sorry...

Oh, Saki mentioned that she'll be going too and how she had to start packing for it.

Are you all set to go?

No, not yet, but I know what I need to take!

First, snacks for each night we're there♪ Oh, I need a bag for keeping any pretty shells and rocks I find, and a beach ball that we can play with...!

And goggles and fins for snorkeling... And... And...

That does sound nice.

I'm sure you'll have a good time.

Hold on, Saki didn't mention anything about needing snorkeling gear.

Wait, you don't actually need to take them?

No, I definitely do...!

I'm gonna cannonball into the water and dive really really deep!

Okay...?

So what are you guys actually gonna be doing while you're there?

Well, we're gonna swim in the ocean, make curry, and put on a show for everyone!

A show?

I wasn't expecting that...

I see. You have quite an interesting trip ahead of you...

You could even make a little game out of who gets what ingredients when making curry, no?

Yeah, you're right!

Knowing you, Rui, you'd find a way to make it so no vegetables go into your group's curry.

Ah, you might be right there...

You're making me sound like some sort of evildoer! I was simply suggesting a way to make cooking fun.

Look straight into my eyes and tell me if you can sense anything other than the truth.

I don't have to. I know you're bluffing.

Anyway, Emu, we hope you have a good time!

I will!

Oh, but...

I really wish you guys could come too.

It's like I'm the only one that's gonna get to have any fun...

What do you mean? It's a school function, right? Just go and have fun.

I know, but...

Hmm... I understand how you feel...

Then why don't we try this? Emu, you go and have fun at the Seaside School. In return, you'll bring back some stories for us to hear.

Huh...?

Oh, yeah.

That might work.

You can tell us about everyone in your group, and what you did at the beach and stuff.

Okay!

I'll make sure to have lots and lots of fun, and bring back tons of fun stories with me!

Oh, also! What kinds of things do you guys like to do when you go to the beach...?

I'll do as many as I can!

When I go to the beach...?

Oh, is it true that you can hear the sea when you put a shell over your ear?

Yeah, I wanna try that!

I'll try looking for some good shells!

Ah, if you wish to do that, I recommend looking for a spiral or cone-shaped shell. A large one too since sound doesn't resonate as well with small ones.

Got it! Thanks, Rui!

What about you, Tsukasa, Nene?

Any suggestions?

Hmm... Let's see...

I've always liked smashing watermelons at the beach, but sports and other games are also fun.

You're taking a beach ball with you, yes? Why not play beach volleyball with everyone?

Oh, beach volleyball's a great idea!

And since you're going to be at the beach, why don't you try looking for something other than shells too?

It might be fun to find some sea creatures, sea glass, and anything else that might've washed ashore.

Yeah! That does sound like fun!

Alright, I'm gonna do everything and bring back some really fun stories!
