Opening 1
.
After getting a good sleep, Lucius and Paimon arrive outside Ayaka and Yoimiya outside Hotel Debord.
Lucius: Oh, morning, Ayaka and Yoimiya.
Ayaka: Good morning, good to see you two well as usual.
Lucius: What did you two get up to after the feast?
Ayaka: After we split up, Ayato went to see Iudex Neuvillette at the Palais Mermonia. I was originally thinking of going with him, but he said he could manage it himself. He told me to go see the sights around Fontaine and to enjoy the local culture. So, I rode the aquabus with Yoimiya and visited the Opera Epiclese on Erinnyes island.
Yoimiya: Yeah, you wouldn't believe what we saw there! Two mechanical puppets that were dancing together! You've already seen them, right?
Lucius: Yep, the Dirge of Coppelia and the Nemesis of Coppelius.
Yoimiya: Yeah, yeah, those two! Amazing, aren't they?
Ayaka: We sat and watched for quite a while. It was mesmerizing, like we could keep watching them forever.
Paimon: Oh, it was the same for us the first time we saw them, too.
Yoimiya: Afterwards, we went swimming at the beach! Well, diving to be exact... It was the first time I ever breathed underwater! I held Ayaka's hand and we counted down together... Three, two, one... And then, "splash!" we were beneath the waves.
Yoimiya: At first, I didn't dare to open my mouth. But once I couldn't hold my breath any longer, I decided to take a big breath in. Hehe, turns out the water wasn't as salty as I imagined... It didn't really taste like anything at all! Before I knew it, I was breathing like normal down there! It was an amazing feeling! Ayaka said I was too nervous and needed to loosen my grip. She got used to everything way faster than I did!
Ayaka: I knew that Lucius could do it, so I had no doubt we could do it, too. That helped me feel at ease as soon as we dove in. The underwater world in Fontaine truly is beautiful. I loved seeing the Romaritime Flowers blossoming underwater, like little candles lighting up the streets at night.
Yoimiya: Yeah, and there are so many creatures that we've never seen in Inazuma! Like those fish that shimmer like a sword blade... Whoosh! Oh, and those big fish that call when they see people... "Woooo"!
Paimon: Oh, you mean Hunter's Rays and Blubberbeasts!
Yoimiya: Hehe, I just love the name Blubberbeast. Just wait till pops and the others hear about this, they probably won't believe a word I say!
Ayaka: Yoimiya was down there for quite a while. It was dark before we finally rode the aquabus back to the city. I figured she'd wanna sleep in today.
Yoimiya: Yeah, even I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get up! I still felt like I was drifting in the waves when I went to sleep last night. But as soon as I woke up today, I remembered that we'd all be shooting a film together, and I was ready to go!
Lucius: Say, where's everyone?
Ayaka: My brother and Xavier were speaking to the restaurant owner about using the place as a filming location, they should be here soon. As for the others, they...
Chiori: We're here.
Chiori announces as she, Chevreuse and Furina approach the group.
Chevreuse: Please excuse my tardiness. I just finished the Special Patrol's ten kilometre morning jog.
