Rurino:
I-It's been too long… Maaan, I feel like I've been at this for forever… I just can't win…

I just wanted to go fishing on one of my rare off days. I didn't think it'd take this long…

Rurino:
Can't read English, so I don't know where to go. Can't read English, so I don't know where to fish. Can't read English, so I can't look it up, 'cause I can't read English.

Living in California sucks… Oh, this has gotta be the right train station, yeah? Yeah?

Rurino:
It better be!!!

Rurino:
'Kay, so from here, I go… ugh, I have no idea!

No choice then… I'll just have to ask… Someone random from the crowd…

Rurino:
Hey there, 'scuse me! Help me out, would ya?

I…I… uh… fish!! I fish, yeah!!

Rurino:
Oh…! Go… straight…? That way? Over there!?

Yeah! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, sister–!

See you! Have a nice day!

Rurino:
Maaan… it's been a lil' over two years since I came here. Y'know, instead of struggling to speak English...

It's better to mix in some Japanese and have whoever I'm talking to think, "Whoa! She's a real weirdo!" That way, they can't ignore me!

That's just another one of Ruri's life hacks! Cogito, ergo Ruri!

Rurino:
Alright, let's get to that fishing spot! Time for "Ruri's Fun Solo Adventures in California"!

I'm boutta make a big splash!

Rurino:
L-License…!?

Rurino:
Wait, that's one of those cards, right? I need one of those!? I just wanted to go fishing…

Oh! Maybe they're just worried I'll fish up something dangerous!?

Rurino:
I-I only fishing! No license!

Rurino:
…

Rurino:
No license, no fishing!? N-No way…

Rurino:
Ah… okay, okay, I see, I see… omigod…

Rurino:
I can't believe you need a license to go fishing… I didn't know… I just wanted to show Megu-chan a fish from here…

Rurino:
Something like tons of really sharp teeth… Or one of those fish that looks totally shook…

Rurino:
It's almost time for me to go back to Japan, huh… When I get back, I'm fishing up a whole lake, and no license is gonna stop me.

Oh, but the school I'll be going to is a boarding school, isn't it? Will they let me go fishing or to the batting center or to karaoke after school?

Rurino:
I've been so busy here, but I guess now's a good time to look up where I'm transferring to.

Boarding school… so I'll have to live in a dorm, huh… I don't wanna have to deal with cliquey drama though… People oughta live alone, y'know?

Rurino:
Besides, I'm not really a fan of just going along with the crowd…

It's not like I can't, but I wish I could live with no filter. It's just so stressful sometimes.

Everyone knows that being buddy-buddy's all just some big lie we tell ourselves.

Rurino:
…Hm?

Rurino:
Hasunosora… School Idol Club… Wait, that's Megu-chan's club!

Rurino:
Wait, Megu-chan said it was fun, but… the idea that everyone gets along and works hard is probably just what they say to get people to join…

Rurino:
…

Rurino:
Huh? Huh??? No shot…! What!?

Rurino:
This looks... like a lot of fun?

Rurino:
"Hey! Hey! When are you gonna come back, Megu-chan!?"

Rurino:
Man, I think I kinda get where Megu-chan was coming from.

Rurino:
Huh, school idols are actually pretty cool. This is weird… It almost feels like I might even have fun around that many people…

Rurino:
Now I'm kinda looking forward to going back to Japan!
