So, we're going to be in charge of the area spanning from here to the grounds of that shrine over there?
Mafuyu
Yes, so let's start looking around.
This may very well be the key to us finding the solution to our problems like you said, Otori.

(Keisuke and Shosuke are always saying how important it is to go see things for yourself when planning a new ride or event...)

(So, we have to observe things really closely, and try to come up with a way to make pulling weeds really fun!)

Mafuyu
Yes, we could. Our original plan was to have everyone go wherever they like, but having lunch as a group could be very fun.
Mafuyu
But, that likely won't be enough to convince people to join us. Let's keep walking around to see if we can find something else.

Me too.
But it doesn't feel that hot here because of all the shade these trees provide.

Emu
Yeah!
More people might come if we let them know that it's not gonna be as hot as they think!

Man
Ah, are you here to visit the shrine?
Man
Oh, I didn't mean to startle you.
It's just so rare to see anybody here at this time of day during the week.

Ah, where are my manners?
My name is Kawada. I'm this shrine's head priest.

Yes, I see.
It's nice to meet you. We're all students at Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy.

We're volunteering to pull out all the weeds, so we came to see what things are like around here!
Head Priest
Ah, you're the Miya Girls students!
Yes, I've heard about you.

Head Priest
Thank you very much for volunteering.
I'm sure you ladies have better things to do than pull weeds at this old shrine...

Honami
N-No, it's our pleasure! I was a little surprised at first... But it's actually a very charming place, with so much greenery.
Head Priest
Thank you very much.
That's very kind of you to say.

Head Priest
The truth is, I'm also looking forward to you all coming to volunteer.
Head Priest
I do my best to keep this shrine in good shape, but it doesn't get many visitors since it tends to make people feel a little uncomfortable.
Head Priest
Which is why I'm hoping that everyone who comes to volunteer will have a chance to become more familiar with this place.
Emu
(Still, how do we do that...?
It's nice and cool with plenty of greenery here, but I'm not sure how fun that makes this place...)

Emu
Are there any spots in this area that you would recommend to visit?! Preferably something that everybody would enjoy!
Head Priest
Something that everybody would enjoy...?
Head Priest
I'm sorry, but there isn't really anything besides this shrine and the mountain behind it...
Head Priest
Yes. Actually, it's more of a large hill than a mountain. Our shrine has been watching over it for generations, and it has a similar atmosphere to the shrine itself...
Head Priest
So I wouldn't call it fun so much as scary...
Head Priest
Yes.
You can reach it by taking the path out back.

(Hmm... But I'm kinda interested since it looks like just the sort of place where you'd see ghosts...)
