*Sob*

Emu

Listen

Hmm... Mr. Key, Mr. Key...
Come out, come out wherever you are!

Mafuyu

Listen

It's gotten so dark. Finding it won't be easy...

Honami

Listen

N-No, it won't...
Also, we need to be careful not to trip and fall...

Honami

Listen

Eep!

Emu

Listen

H-Honami?!
What's wrong?!

Honami

Listen

S-S-S-Something cold just grazed my face...

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh, I think it's just a leaf...

Honami

Listen

Huh...?

Mafuyu

Listen

Take a look at this branch.
It hangs down to about your face, Mochizuki, and it's waving in the breeze.

Honami

Listen

Oh, you're right...
This is so embarrassing...

Emu

Listen

We can hold hands if you're feeling scared, Honami! Here, nice and tight!

Honami

Listen

Th-Thank you so much, Emu...!

Mafuyu

Listen

Hehe...
You two are so close.

Mafuyu

Listen

Still, this day's ending with quite the predicament...

Honami

Listen

Yes, it is...
I hope we find that key soon...

Emu

Listen

Me too!

Emu

Listen

But...

Emu

Listen

I kinda like this since we basically get to do another test of courage!

Emu

Listen

Also...

Emu

Listen

You seem to be smiling for real now, Asahina! That makes me really happy!

Mafuyu

Listen

Huh? For real...?

Emu

Listen

Huh...?!
N-No, wait...! I meant...! Uhhhhhh...!

Emu

Listen

The thing is...!

Emu

Listen

I notice sometimes how you'll smile, but it doesn't seem like a real smile.

Mafuyu

Listen

...

Emu

Listen

And especially recently, you've seemed sad despite having a smile on your face. Which started to worry me...

Emu

Listen

But...!
I feel a lot better because you seem to be smiling for real now...!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Emu

Listen

That makes me really happy!

Mafuyu

Listen

Why?

Emu

Listen

Huh?

Mafuyu

Listen

Why does me having a real smile make you happy, Otori?

Emu

Listen

Why...? Umm...

Emu

Listen

Because I can't help but feel excited when I see you smiling for real, and that makes me smile too!

Mafuyu

Listen

...
I'm not sure I follow your reasoning...

Honami

Listen

I think I understand how Emu feels.

Honami

Listen

It's hard not to feel happy when you see someone you care about smile.

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh...

Mafuyu

Listen

(That reminds me of...)

Kanade

Listen

I want you to feel what I did. I want you to smile the way I did back then.

Mafuyu

Listen

(Kanade said the same thing.)

Mafuyu

Listen

(Then...)

Mafuyu

Listen

(Otori and Mochizuki care about how I feel, just like Kanade?)

Mafuyu

Listen

I see.

Emu

Listen

...!
Asahina, you just...

*Scream*

Emu

Listen

Wh-Wh-Wh-What's wrong?!
Is everything okay, Honami?!

Honami

Listen

Th-Th-Th-The grass just rustled...!
And something ran by...!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Mafuyu

Listen

Huh...?

Emu

Listen

Oh, what if it was a ghost?!

Emu

Listen

Where'd it go?!
Do you think it's gone now?!

Mafuyu

Listen

No, I think it's still there...

Honami

Listen

What...?
Wh-Where?! Don't tell me...!

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes.
Look there...

Mafuyu

Listen

It's a tanuki.

Honami

Listen

Huh...?

Sound Effect: Play

Tanuki

Squeal.

Sound Effect: Play

Honami

Listen

...!
It is a tanuki...!

Emu

Listen

Wow! It's so cute!

Emu

Listen

Do you think it lives on this mountain? Wait, huh...?

Emu

Listen

There's something caught on its tail!

Honami

Listen

Really? I'm having trouble seeing...

Emu

Listen

Yeah, look!
There's a string or something wrapped around its tail.

Mafuyu

Listen

...!
I think that's the key to the storeroom.

Mafuyu

Listen

When I first borrowed it, I remember seeing a lanyard attached to it. A red one just like that.

Honami

Listen

Really...?!

Emu

Listen

Then, we need to get it back!

Emu

Listen

Stay really still for us, Mr. Tanuki...

Tanuki

Squeal?

Sound Effect: Play

Emu

Listen

We're your friends...
See? Pom-poko-pom-poko...

Sound Effect: Play

Emu

Listen

Okay, got it!

Tanuki

Squeal!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Emu

Listen

Hehe. It looks so happy now!

Emu

Listen

But how'd this get wrapped around its tail?

Honami

Listen

Hmm...
It may've gotten caught on its tail after the head priest dropped the key.

Mafuyu

Listen

Still, I'm glad we found it.
We probably never would have if that tanuki decided to disappear into the woods.

Honami

Listen

True...
Hehe. That makes us very lucky.

Emu

Listen

Yeah!
Now let's tell Mizuki and the others the good news, then head back to the shrine!

Emu

Listen

Heave-ho, heave-ho...
That's the chairs returned to the storeroom...

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Emu

Listen

Phew...
Is that everything we needed to put back?

Head Priest

Yes, I just need to lock the doors now...
Thank you all very much for your help.

Mafuyu

Listen

No, thank you for having us.

Mafuyu

Listen

Anyway, it's gotten very late.
Shall we start heading out, everyone?

Mizuki

Listen

Aww, this is really it for our test of courage...

Honami

Listen

It flew by so fast.

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, saying goodbye to this place isn't going to be easy.

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah...

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, I forgot to say something really important!

Mizuki

Listen

Emu!
Thanks for today!

Emu

Listen

Huh?

Mizuki

Listen

You came up with this idea, right?
I had so much fun making costumes and scaring everybody.

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Shizuku

Listen

Me too. I know I was playing a monster, but seeing everyone smile filled me with so much joy.

Honami

Listen

I was frightened at the thought of a test of courage, but your idea made it fun for all of us, Emu.

Honami

Listen

It's because you put so much thought and effort into it.

Emu

Listen

You guys...

Emu

Listen

Hehe. But this was only possible because all of you decided to help! So, thank you!

Mafuyu

Listen

...

Mafuyu

Listen

I...

Mafuyu

Listen

I need to thank you for today as well.

Emu

Listen

(Oh...!)

101

Emu

Listen

(She's really smiling...!)

102

Emu

Listen

Of course!
Thank you as well!

103

Emu

Listen

I promise to keep doing my best as a class rep! And I look forward to working with you in the future...!

104

Mafuyu

Listen

*Nod*
Me too.

105

Emu

Listen

(Thank goodness...!
Asahina's got such a big smile on her face!)

106

Emu

Listen

(Seeing others smile like this really makes me so happy!)

107

Honami

Listen

Hehe. You seem so happy, Emu.

108

Emu

Listen

I am!

109

Emu

Listen

I mean, today ended up being such a wonderhoy day!
