()||9<黑屏1>0,10BGM_Empty: ()||577<黑屏2>AVG_AMB_waves_and_seagulls_oneshotBGM_Saga_AVG_Dusk:The sky in the distance has started to grow dark, and it looks like it is going to be a gloomy night with no trace of starlight.+Before you is the sea, reflecting the moon in its rippling waves—as well as Ai, who is sitting on the sand. ()Commander||:I'm not late, am I? NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||Stop_AVG_loop:...No, I was just a little early. NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:Ah, I see...+I'm feeling so nervous all of a sudden... NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:Relax, you've been doing well recently. NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:Does that mean I'm a useful manager now? NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:Of course. You're much better than I expected. NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:I'm glad you approve of me. NPC-MizunoAi(2)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:But that's not enough.+Given your current performance, you're a long way off from being able to hold a successful show. NPC-MizunoAi(2)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:I'll work as hard as I can. NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:I don't doubt that. NPC-MizunoAi(2)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:But just working hard might not be enough. ()||:Ai sighs. NPC-MizunoAi(2)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:I don't want to rain on your parade, but... you'd best be prepared that you might be stuck here forever. NPC-MizunoAi(2)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:... NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:Still, I'll do my best to help you out. I've sent the forthcoming training schedules to your mailbox. NPC-MizunoAi(5)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:Let's work hard toward that goal in the future! ()Commander||:Ai-chan... NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:Hm? NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:What does being an idol mean to you? NPC-MizunoAi(2)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:Why are you asking me that? NPC-MizunoAi(2)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:Because I think that if all you need is precise pitch control and neat dance steps, why would we even need human idols? Dolls can do all that. NPC-MizunoAi(3)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:...So you're saying that they don't need idols anymore in the future? NPC-MizunoAi(3)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:We still have human singers, actors and poets in my time.+They haven't been completely replaced by AI yet. NPC-MizunoAi(2)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:Are AIs and Dolls creations of the place where you come from? NPC-MizunoAi(2)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:Yes, they're creations of the future. +Technology is always advancing, but art isn't a mere product.+I think art is more than simply practicing and getting familiar with your routines. ()Commander||:In any time and any place, there is more than one way to approach art.+If Franchouchou wants to succeed, just being able to sing and dance well is nothing more than getting your foot in the door. It's a long way off from being a proper idol. NPC-MizunoAi(2)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:Oh? NPC-MizunoAi(2)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:It's kind of embarrassing, but in addition to practicing, I've also been thinking... What makes Franchouchou one of a kind?+What makes Franchouchou different from other idols? What makes them irreplaceable in the hearts of their fans? NPC-MizunoAi(2)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:...Hm. What makes idols idols, you say...?+If you ask me, it's because they give people a unique form of strength and courage. NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:Well done, Commander.+You managed to spot your member's worries and doubts in a timely fashion. That makes you a pretty decent manager, I'd say. NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:Ah, no, I'm a long way off.+You can't just become good at a job like this overnight. NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:I've never seen you as a battlefield commander before...+But I think that someone like you would excel in anything you did. NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:Do I really merit such high praise? NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:Yeah. Though we might all have our own talents and skills...+There are a few qualities which every successful professional possesses.+No matter what kind of trials they encounter, their real worth will always shine through. NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:...That applies to you too. NPC-MizunoAi(2)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:Huh? NPC-MizunoAi(2)60,-2501.27<同时置暗>Commander||:I'm saying, it's the same for you. ()Commander||:You'll always be the best, whether you're an idol or something else.+It's been an honor working with you. NPC-MizunoAi(0)60,-2501.27Ai Mizuno||:Same here.+Come on, we've both got things to do, Manager-Commander. ()||:You stand up and help each other pack up without saying a word.+You can sense it now.+Something has definitely changed between the two of you. ()||<黑点1>:
