Filename for video: Aria the Origination Drama CD1 - Navigation 01

Akari: Neo Venezia is the middle of cold, cold winter now.
Akari: But I can't lose to the cold.
Akari: Even at times like this, I have to practice!
Akari: The coldness can be brushed away easily!

Akari: Aria The Origination, Drama CD 1, Navigation 1.
Akari: A warm cruise in the freezing night

Akari: On a similar note, it's really warm sleeping with President Aria on cold nights.
Akari: Ah, don't run away, President Aria!
Akari: Co... Co... Cold!
Aika: What's with this cold weather? Akari, do something!
Akari: Even if you ask me that... It's winter after all.
Akari: Besides, it's night-time now, so it's natural that it's cold.
Aika: Do you... want me to freeze to death?
Alice: Erm... weren't you the one who suggested that we should practice together tonight?
Akari: Yeah, isn't that why we're gathered here now, Aika-chan?
Aika: That's right! I thought it's a good idea to practice doing a gondola cruise at night once in a while.
Aika: But I never imagined it'd be so cold!
Alice: Tonight seems to be the coldest night in all of winter.
Aika: What the hell is that?!
Aika: No customers would feel like riding a gondola on such a cold day!
Akari: Oh... that's true.
Aika: Which means there's no point in practicing tonight!
Alice: Yeah...
Aika: So let's cancel the practice for today!
Akira: Yo! I see you're hard at work!
Athena: Good work!
Akari: Akira-san, Athena-san!
Aika: Why are the two of them here?
Alice: I told Athena-senpai about it.
Akira: Yup, I heard from Athena that you girls are going to practice the gondola cruise tonight.
Akira: My work's just finished, so I thought I might as well keep you company.
Aika: That's really a pity. Today's practice is canceled-
Akira: Well! I'm really impressed that you're going to practice on such a cold night!
Akira: Only when practicing in an environment so harsh that even customers won't come will you become useful in the real settings.
Akira: Your attitude is wonderful! Splendid!
Alice: Uh, yes!
Akari: Thank you for your compliment.
Akira: Aika, you have something you want to say?
Aika: No.
Akira: Let me watch over your practice then. I'm getting on.
Athena: Excuse me.
Akira: I'll be strict in coaching you today. Okay?
All: Okay...
Akira: Alright! Then let's start with Akari. Set sail!
Athena: Set sail!
Akari: Yes!
Akira: Let's take this opportunity to let someone act as a customer.
Akira: Okay then, who should it be...
Akira: Oh. President Aria's in the mood for it.
Akira: Well then, President Aria, please be strict with them.
Akari: Please be my guest.
Athena: The customer's feeling cold.
Akari: You're right. President Aria- I mean, Mister, are you all right?
Akira: Okay, what now?
Aika: That's what I thought.
Aika: So I've prepared a blanket!
Akari: That's Aika-chan for you!
Aika: Look, here it is.
Aika: Here, I'll put it over your lap.
Akari: Huh? What's wrong, Mister?
Alice: The blanket looks cold.
Akira: Aika, where did you leave the blanket?
Aika: In the compartment of the gondola...
Akira: Then the blanket would become the same temperature as the gondola, wouldn't it?
Akira: In other words, it's freezing cold.
Akira: You gave the customer the blanket in order to warm him up, but what's the point if the blanket itself is cold?
Aika: Oh, you're right! I'm really sorry!
Aika: I'll now hug the blanket to warm it up!
Alice: At times like this, how about a hot drink to warm you up?
Akira: Oh, have you prepared some?
Alice: Yes, I've put some freshly-boiled tea in a pot and brought it along.
Alice: Athena-senpai, excuse me, but can you bring a cup?
Athena: Okaay. Good for you, President Aria.
Athena: H-Hot!
Akari: Are you okay, Athena-san?
Athena: I'm sorry!
Alice: Geez, Athena-senpai, you're clumsy like always.
Akira: That's where you're wrong.
Akira: When the weather's so cold, the customer's hands will be numb from the coldness.
Akira: At times like this, what will happen if he holds a cup with freshly-boiled tea?
Akari: Oh... It could be dangerous for him to hold a hot cup with his numb hands.
Akari: That's right.
Akari: In other words, hotter is not better all the time.
Alice: You're right. I'm really sorry.
Akira: Also... it'd be nice if there's something to warm the customer's chilly hands.
Aika: Even if you say that...
Akari: Erm... how about this?
Aika: Wow!
Alice: Disposable pocket heaters? And so many of them.
Akira: Good work!
Akira: Yes! She said it'd be great to share these with everyone when they get cold during practice-
Akira: Excellent! That's great, Akari.
Akari: No... Erm...
Akira: What's the matter? No need to be so modest.
Akari: Erm...  Before Alicia-san went out, she said that when she passed them to me.
Akira: Alicia, eh?
Aika: That's Alicia-san for you!
Akari: Well then, take one, Mister.
Akari: Here, Athena-san, have one too.
Athena: Thank you, Akari-chan!
Athena: *Rub rub*
Athena: It's warm!
Alice: Ah, I'll go prepare the drink once more.
Aika: The blanket's just been warmed! Help yourself!
Alice: The temperature's just right now. Here, Mister, have some.
Akari: Alright, the real practice begins now.
Aika: Huh?! Now?
Athena: Of course. You haven't done any gondola cruise practice, right?
Athena: We are Undines. Where you bring the customer for sightseeing is the most important.
Aika: Okay.
Akari: I understand.
Alice: I understand completely.
Akari: Now the three of you will bring the customer to the place you recommend, starting from Akari.
Akari: Okay!
Athena: Look, the customer's looking forward to it, Akari-chan.
Akari: Yes, I'll do my best!
Athena: Even though it's night-time, there's still many people in that plaza.
Akari: Yes. The owners of those shops in that plaza prepare their stoves to warm themselves, even in the night.
Akari: That's why people gather even though it's so cold.
Athena: You're right! There are even stoves left along the canal.
Aika: Wow, I never knew there's such a place.
Akari: The people from the shops around this plaza started this year after having a discussion.
Akari: A shop assistant of the cafe over there told me about it.
Alice: As expected, you have so many lovely connections, Akari-senpai.
Alice: The loveliness that I was taught, I'll pass it on to the customers, and everyone else.
Alice: And then everyone will pass it on to the others again.
Alice: And that the whole Aqua will know of these lovely things...
Aika: Embarrassing remarks are not allowed!
Akira: Okay, Akari's turn is over.
Akira: The next one will be... Alice.
Alice: Yes. It's my honor.
Aika: Isn't this just a waterway? There's nothing here.
Alice: But the buildings are crowded together here, so the wind can't enter.
Akari: You're right. The wind that was blowing just now doesn't come here.
Athena: The customer looks a bit warmer now.
Aika: But... you can't do sightseeing like this.
Alice: Please look up.
Akari: Up... Ah... It's stars.
Athena: So many stars!
Alice: Since this is a night cruise, I thought gazing at the sky would be a good idea.
Akari: I see! A starry sky is also one of Neo Venezia's lovely things...
Aika: Right, right! Not allowed, not allowed!
Akari: Hey Aika, you're next.
Aika: Okay! You can count on me! Time to set off!
Aika: We've reached!
Akari: Where's this place, Aika-chan?
Alice: The gondola is now inside a building...
Aika: This building was a trading company from the Venezia in the past, and the building was brought to Neo Venezia.
Aika: Look, the waterway extends inside the building.
Aika: The wind won't come here, right? Akari, try lighting the way in front.
Akari: Okay.
Alice: Paintings?
Aika: Those are the paintings hung on the walls in the building back then.
Aika: The other paintings are also preserved as they were.
Akari: Lovely!
Alice: It's also warm here.
Alice: I can feel it's warmer than usual, not only because there's no wind.
Aika: The secret is... this!
Akari: What's this?
Aika: These are ventilation ducts.
Aika: It's used to transport the heat generated by the Gnomes' work underground to the surface.
Aika: Which means, thanks to the warm air passing through the ducts, this building is always warm.
Akira: This is a hidden spot that only a handful of Undines know of.
Akira: Good job finding this place, Aika.
Aika: What do you think?
Akari: Amazing!
Akira: And so ends the guide for the three of you.
Akira: Mister, how was it?
Athena: I think he's pleased that all these places are not cold at all.
Aika: We passed!
Akira: Yeah. It's true that you've shown the customer the warm places.
Akira: You passed when it's about thinking of the customer's needs...
Akari: Did we miss anything?
Akira: Let's see...
Akira: Well then, I'll be the last guide. Is that fine with you, Mister?
Akira: Great. Aika, pass me the oar.
Aika: Okay!
Akira: Let's go!
Akira: Where could she be taking us?
Aika: I don't know...
Alice: I bet it's a place even warmer than the ones we introduced.
Akari: Huh? But...
Aika: Akira-san, isn't this the outer sea?
Akira: Indeed!
Akari: Woah, it's so cold!
Alice: This is tough.
Aika: It's too cold! Hey, Akira-san, what are you thinking? Where are you taking us?
Akira: A night-time gondola cruise, of course.
Akira: Okay, we've reached.
Aika: We've reached? There's nothing here!
Akira: Aika. Look behind.
Aika: Amazing! The whole night scenery of Neo Venezia is spread out before us...
Akira: That's not all. Take a good look.
Akira: Some white fluffy stuff is rising from the water surface.
Alice: Those fluffy things are reflecting the light from the buildings. This scene looks magical.
Aika: It's the first time I see a scenery like this.
Akari: Me too.
Alice: Me too.
Aika: Huh? What's that?
Athena: The white stuff is water vapor.
Alice: Water vapor? Why are such things rising in a cold weather like this?
Athena: It rises because it's cold.
Athena: When the air's colder than the water surface, sometimes water vapor will rise out of it.
Athena: This seldom happens in Neo Venezia,
Athena: but every year, in the nights or mornings during when the weather's the coldest, such things happen.
Alice: I never knew.
Aika: Officially it's call a vapor mist.
Aika: It's also known as an air storm in cold regions.
Akari: That's lovely.
Akira: What do you think, Mister? Are you satisfied?
Athena: Looks like the customer's very pleased.
Aika: You're right. Even though this place's so cold...
Athena: Aika-chan, even this coldness is a part of Neo Venezia.
Aika: I see!
Aika: Right. The customer came to Neo Venezia to make memories.
Akari: Even if it's cold, as long as he comes to a place where bearing with the cold is worth it...
Alice: I believe that'll become an even lovelier memory.
Athena: That's right. I'm sure it will become an unforgettable memory of Neo Venezia.
Aika: I see.
Akira: Whatever the times are, it's our job as Undines to let the customers leave with lovely memories of Neo Venezia.
All: Yes! I understand!
Akari: Your hand please, Mister.
Akari: Akira-san, Athena-san, thank you very much for today!
Alice: I learnt a lot today!
Aika: Thank you very much!
Akari: Our customer President Aria, thank you for bearing with us today!
Akira: Okay! That's the end of our practice today!
Athena: Everyone, dismissed!
All: Okay!
Akari: President Aria's stomach is growling!
Alice: He's really starved.
Aika: The practice was so long, after all.
Akira: In commemoration of the successful practice today, let's go eat some smoking hot pizza!
Akira: My treat, of course.
Akira: Athena, you have to pay for your own.
Alice: Ah, it's snow...
Akari: Oh, you're right. It's the first snow of this year!
Akira: No wonder it's so cold.
Aika: Yeah. Rowing gondolas even on snowy days is tough.
Akira: That's right! Shall we practice in the snow next time?
Akira: The theme is "sightseeing in the middle of a snow".
Alice: That's really tough.
Aika: Objection! Objection, objection, objection!
Akira: What are you saying? Before you become a Prima, it's all about the training, the training!
Akira: Am I right, Athena?
Akira: Huh? Where did Athena go?
Athena: Hey! Everyone, hurry up, hurry up!
Athena: I've ordered the pizza already!
Athena: Don't order the pizzas by yourself! I won't put up with anything other than Margherita pizza!
Athena: Of course I ordered that!
Aika: Let's go too!
All: Okay!
Akari: Ai-chan, the first snow fell on Neo Venezia today.
Akari: And we're taught to put the customers first, whether it's on warm or cold days.
Ai: Akari-san, Neo Venezia is lovely even when it's cold.
Ai: When you are the guide, I'm sure that no matter how cold the day is, the customer's heart will feel cosy and warm.
