*Sigh*
Working with the animals was so much fun!

Yeah, but I'm also looking forward to seeing what goes on behind the scenes.

Me too!
And how great is it that we get to go around the zoo during our break?!

Where should we go?!
I really wanna see the Savannah Area!

Yeah, it could be fun to see what animals they have there. Why don't we head over and—

No, wait!!

Whoa, what's the big fuss?

That girl over there...

That slim frame and beautiful posture...

The outfit she's wearing looks so simple, but she gives off this aura of being extraordinary...

It must be her!
The idol who's loved by everyone and continues to evolve every day! Haruka!

No, there's no way.
Yeah, she looks pretty similar, but what are the odds of—

Thanks for waiting, Haruka!
Things took a little longer than expected at checkout...

Ichika?!

Oh, Ichika's here too!

Oh...!

Hey, you two!
What brings you both here?

Minori...!
Oh, and you're with Hinomori...?

Well...
Since the cat's out of the bag.

After we heard that you'd both be shadowing here today, we planned to try to surprise you once you were all done.

We invited Saki, but she had a conflict.

O-Oh, okay...
I had no idea that you guys were planning anything like that!

But our cover's blown.
We didn't realize that it'd be over this soon.

Actually, we're not done yet.
We're on break, and they said it was okay to check out the rest of the zoo.

Oh, really?

Yeah.
So we have to head back when our break's over.

But we still have time to hang out.
Let's go around the zoo together!

Okay.
If you two still have time, then let's do that.

The two of us were planning on going around the zoo anyway while we waited for you.

Thank goodness!

Then, let's go!

*Sigh*
The Savannah Area was so cool!

Yeah, the servals and caracals were really cute.

I didn't know that they were carnivores.
It was surprising to hear that they eat moles.

Alright, where should we go next?!
Based on this pamphlet, the Wetland Area's right near here!

They have all sorts of fish, frogs and birds!
And lots and lots of different plants, and—

Whoa, there he is!

Oh wow!
Look at him go!

Wh-What's going on?
Everyone seems excited suddenly—

Huh? What's wrong...?
Why do you all look so surprised?

Well, I mean...

Minori, look at your feet...

My feet...?

...

Eeeeppp!
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Who are you?!

Oh, look at that...
Dylan's escaped again.

E-Escaped...?!

Yes, Dylan the armadillo's become quite the escape artist because he likes going for strolls around the zoo so much.

That said, the staff are quick to catch on, so it always ends with him getting chased around. His escape attempts have lately become one of this zoo's unofficial attractions...

Attraction... Armadillo...

Now I see...
This is what everyone was talking about.

I've never seen one before in real life...

Wait, if the staff are always chasing him around, shouldn't we tell them that he's here?

Good point!
Since I'm here as a zookeeper for a day, I can't let him out of my sight!

Okay, Dylan, it's time to go home!
Lemme carry you over so that the staff can—

...!

Oh no!
Dylan's making a run for—

Waaahhh!

...!
Minori, are you okay?

I-I'm okay.
More importantly...

Did you see the way he ran?!
The way he scurried along on his little legs was too adorable!!

I'm not sure now's the right time to be gushing over him.

For now, Minori and I will try to catch him.
Sorry, Kiritani, but can you let the staff know for us?

Yeah, sure.

W-Wait, what do I do...?

Oh, Private Ichika, you can catch him with us! It's time for us to commence Operation: Detain Dylan!

Detain Dylan...?
Also, Private Ichika...?

Alright, let's go!

Huh?! W-Wait...!

Huff... Huff...

He's so much faster than I expected!
I haven't even been able to get close!

Plus, we can't really keep him in our sights because of all these people...

Yeah, we can see him just barely now, but we'll lose him the second he runs into— *Gasp*

Wow, he really disappeared!
Where'd he go?!

H-He was running in this direction, so he couldn't have gone very far...

<Down the right passageway!>

...!

Huh? The right...?

Oh, yes!
There he is!

Let's go after him.

(The others probably believe that was someone from the crowd just now. But I'm guessing it was really...)

(Aha! It was Luka!)

(We're bound to succeed if she can help us!)

(We've gotta catch Dylan no matter what...!)
