Searching for the Stars ミ☆ Event Story Episode 4: Why can we See Stars?
~ Why can we See Stars? ~
(The 5 of them gather at Kokoro's villa. A sleepy Kasumi then starts telling the others the reason why she came on the tour.)
Tsurumaki's cottage
Kasumi: *Yawns:
Kasumi: Hnngh... I'm starting to get sleepy...
Ran: Kasumi, you're the one who suggested that we come to this astronomy tour.
Hina: Kasumi-chan, if you stay awake a little longer, you'll be able to see the meteor shower so do your
best to stay up!
Kasumi: Ugu.... I'll do... my... b...best...
Tsugumi: I'm... also...
Ran: Tsugumi, though you came here, are you sure you don't want to wait to see the stars? Wouldn't it
be a waste?
Tsugumi: I don't want to waste the chance but... No, I have to stay awake... Ran-chan, you aren't
sleepy?
Ran: I usually stay up quite late so I'm fine.
Hina: Me too! When it's at night, my mind is clear and it's really easy to do things then, right?
Kokoro: *Yawn* I'll go to bed soon too, I guess. It won't hurt to sleep a little, I suppose.
Hina: You might miss the meteor shower when you are resting. Kokoro-chan, do your best to stay up!
Kokoro: Then, can you all talk about something that will keep me awake?
Hina: Something that will keep you awake? Hm... horror stories?
Tsugumi: I'll... rather not...
Kasumi: I get it! Then I'll play Random Star (guitar)!
Ran: Huh? Wha---
Kasumi: Here I go!
Tsugumi: Oh I think I got a little more awake!
Kokoro: That's great! I'm getting less tired too!
Kokoro: ~~♪ ~~~~♪
Kasumi: ~~♪ ~~~~♪
Ran: Kokoro and Kasumi! If you guys do this at this hour, it will be a disturbance for the manager of
this villa!
Kasumi: I see. I'm sorry...
Tsugumi: I joined in too, I'm sorry...
Kasumi: Um, well... Then let me tell you the time when I heard the star beat*!
Kokoro: Star beat? That sounds like fun! I want to hear the story!
Kasumi: Actually when I wasyounger, I heard the star beat before. So I joined this tour in hopes that I'll
hear it again!
Kasumi: I heard it when I was camping in a forest with my family!
Kasumi: It was in a very dark forest like this one, and I was walking alone with my sister. And when we
came to a clearing, we could see a lot of stars!
Kasumi: Those stars were shining so bright and it seemed like they were letting out sounds as they
pulsed! At that time, in my body, I felt like something resonated...
Kasumi: I want to find that feeling once again, so I came here.
Kasumi: Ahh, what should I do...! Just remembering it makes me want to sing again! I'm no longer
sleepy!
Ran: Well, it's true that you seem more awake now.
Kokoro: I find that such a touching story! Let's all hear the star beat together!
Kasumi: That sound, that is the sound of a beginning... I felt like something new was going to start after
hearing that sound.
Ran: Something new...?
Ran: For me, it wasn't the star beat but... When I started the guitar, I felt like something new was about
to start too.
Ran: I got hyped up by the guitar's sound... The feeling of the strings... I felt the feeling of something
warm swell inside methen.
Kasumi: That, it's that! It's the same! I had that same feeling when I heard the star beat too!
Kasumi: I'm sure that Ran-chan will be able to hear it today!
Ran: Yeah, I think so too.
Hina: The feeling that something new... That seems like a lot of fun!
Tsugumi: I know! That was a really nice story! Thanks to you, I no longer feel sleepy either, Kasumi-
chan! I can't sleep till I hear the star beat too, after all!
Kasumi: Yes! I'll definitely not sleep till I see the skies filled with stars!
Ran: Just don't get too hyper that you tire yourself out instead.
Kokoro: I guess it will be here in about an hour? We'll definitely be fine!
Kasumi: Of course of course! Because I'm not tired at all now!
Ran: E-Everyone, you are all too hyper now, will you guys be fine...?
Hina: Ran-chan, you're such a worrywart! Everyone will be fine.
Ran: I hope so too...
Kokoro: Kasumi! Tsugumi! To not get tired, let's talk about a lot more things!
Kasumi: Alright!
Clarification:
(1) Star Beat: It was in Japanese as Hoshi no Kodou, which would be the heartbeat of the stars. Since it sounds a little strange on its own, I thought why not link it to Popipa's song: STAR BEAT ~Hoshi no Kodou~?
