[00:00] Nar
    The Raillords have gathered
    for a meeting to come up with
[00:04] Nar
    ideas that will help usher
    in a new age for the railroad.
[00:12] All
    Producing merch?!

[00:14] Suz
    Yes!
[00:15] Suz
    There isn't a successful business
    that doesn't sell goods!
[00:18] Suz
    Producing merch is the secret
    weapon of the new railroad age!
[00:22] Suz
    Is something wrong?
[00:24] Kak
    We thought this would be a meeting
    about how to get more passengers...
[00:28] Iyo
    That's right!
[00:30] Kik
    I have to admit that this
    is quite unexpected.
[00:33] Suz
    According to Hachiroku's materials,
    it would go something like this.
SIGN    Develop and sell attractive merch
SIGN    Attract more customers -> More rides
SIGN    Merch sales increase
SIGN    Develop and sell further merch
[00:39] Ran
    I see, it's a positive feedback loop.
[00:43] ---
    Very interesting.
[00:45] Sui
    I will cooperate.
[00:47] Ben
    I'm fine with that, too.
[00:49] Ben
    Bring on whatever, I say!
[00:51] Kak
    Well, we originally came here to learn
    from Hachiroku-chan anyway.
[00:54] Kik
    Let's see where this idea takes us, then.
[00:58] Iyo
    Agreed.
[00:59] Suz
    Thank you.
[01:01] Suz
    Let me talk about the next steps, then.
[01:04] Iyo
    First, we will form groups of two.

[01:07] Suz
    Each group will brainstorm merch
    ideas in a breakout session.
[01:11] Suz
    Once that is done, the ideas will be
    presented to the entire group.
[01:15] Suz
    The groups are as follows.
SIGN    Small Steam Locomotive Group
SIGN    Railcar Group
SIGN    Old Imperial Railways Group
SIGN    Electric Group
[01:17] Suz
    There will be breakout sessions
    for the groups from top to bottom,
[01:20] Suz
    and I, Suzushiro, will be participating
    in all of them as the organizer.
[01:24] Rii
    Does this mean my group is first?
[01:27] Suz
    Yes!
[01:28] Ben
    Hey! What are we supposed to do while the
    others are having their breakout sessions?
[01:32] Suz
    Right, in your free time,
    please go sightseeing in Ohitoyo City.
[01:36] Kak
    Oh, my, we've stepped right into that one.
[01:39] Suz
    No, Ohitoyo City has
    a lot of great places to see!
[01:44] Suz
    It'll be a perfect chance
    to deepen our friendships.

    Abilities / Personality
    She was manufactured as a very standard C12 Raillord
    and performed her duties in a very standard but reliable way. Her fate took an unexpected turn when Suzushiro's
    C12 67 was picked for THK's morning drama series.
    
    After her masterful act as the drama's main character,
    she also begun working as a Raillord actress.
    
    She might not look it, but she is terribly calm
    and able to handle adverse circumstances.
    She performs any role given to her flawlessly,
    no matter what it is.
[01:55] Suz
    All right, everyone, let's toast!
[01:57] Suz
    To the success of the Raillord Summit!
[02:00] All
    Cheers!
[02:07] Ran
    Coal is so tasty.
[02:10] Suz
    Let's see how everybody is doing.
[02:14] Kik
    Miss Beni, would you be so kind
    as to accompany me?
[02:17] Ben
    Of course! Let's come up
    with the best merch ideas together!
[02:22] Kak
    Suika-chan, if there's anything you
    don't understand, feel free to ask me.
[02:25] Sui
    I have done some research beforehand,
    but I am sure there are areas
[02:30] Sui
    where I will require your assistance.
[02:32] Ran
    Lady Shirogane, I am so honored
    to be your temporary partner.
[02:37] Ran
    I look forward to collaborating
    with you as of tomorrow.
[02:39] Shi
    I'm not someone to feel honored about...
[02:41] Rii
    This is boring. There are no insects here.
[02:45] Iyo
    She seems to be quite a character.
[02:48] Iyo
    Looks like I will have to
    be the leader here.
[02:52] All
    Sounds fun!
[02:53] All
    That's good!
[02:55] Suz
    I think we're off to a good start.
