Ep. 17: Alicia and Akari share a gondola picnic and memories of their training days.

17

Alicia and Akari enjoy a picnic dinner on a worn training gondola, prompting flashbacks of Alicia’s first lesson with Grandma Akino and their shared cleaning experiences. Aika, Akira, Alice, and Athena join for a party, where Akari’s photo reminds Athena of a similar image taken when Alicia was promoted to Prima and exchanged her black gondola for a white one. Later, Akari remains in the gondola as rain falls and falls asleep, only for the gondola’s spirit to cover her with an umbrella. Days later, while rowing her new gondola back to Aria Company, Akari is surprised to see her old one fully loaded. Ai reassures her that her new gondola will bring many fresh experiences.
