Thank goodness we made it here on time.

On time? We're not supposed to meet for another thirty minutes...

We didn't have to rush out of the house like that.

I know...
But what if Tsukasa and Saki also got here early out of sheer excitement?

Yeah, I don't think...

Hey, Shiho! Shizuku!

Good morning to the both of you!
Wonderful weather for a day trip, wouldn't you say?!

They're really here...

Good morning. I had a feeling that you two wouldn't be far behind us.

Hehe. We ended up getting everything ready way before when we originally planned on leaving!

We were both so excited that we decided to come here early!

That's perfectly understandable. I was also so excited that I kept walking between my room and the front entrance.

You all sound like elementary schoolers who can't wait to go on a field trip...

Anyway, I'm glad we're all here.
Let's have as much fun as we can today!

Yeah!

Anyway, let's start making our way towards the station.

Okay!

Oh, can we stop by the vending machines first? I forgot to buy a drink...

Our train isn't scheduled to depart for a little while, so you should have plenty of time. Just be careful!

Okay! Then, I'll be right back!

Actually, I might join you...

Umm... Saki went that way, yes?

Okay, see you in...

No, Shizuku, wait!

Not good! She's sure to get lost!
We need to chase after her, Shiho...!

A trip like this means...snacks!

So, everyone, let's break out...!
The potato chips♪

I knew you'd bring some.

Yeah, because they're yummy.
And I love the texture!

I even have some mini-star ramen for you, Shiho♪

Wait, you bought some just for me?
Thanks...

Come to think of it, Shii, you've loved these ever since you were little.

I'm also a longtime fan.
Particularly because it has “star” in its name! I remember a time when I had these every day!

I'd rather not be seen as that big a fanatic.

Haha♪ Anyway, I'll open these up!

Huh? Whoa...!

Oh, it's all over the floor now.

H-Hurry, we need to clean this up!
Before we arrive at the next station!

Oh, I'm so sorry...!

Oh, the next station's our stop.
Start packing, you guys.

Okay!

Hmm... Hm...?

Is something the matter, Tsukasa?

Where... Where is it...?!

Has anyone seen my ticket?!

Wait, don't tell me you lost it!

I've checked all my pockets, bag and everywhere else! It's completely vanished! There's no way they're going to let me out of the station!

I mean, why didn't you just use your smart card?

The answer to that is simple! A physical ticket adds to the sentimental value of this trip!

Okay...?

That reminds me... Didn't you put it in your wallet because you were worried that you'd lose it if you put it in one of your pockets?

Oh...

O-Of coooooourse!

Alright, we're here!

*Stretch*
The air here feels so fresh and clean.

And the village has such a wonderful atmosphere to it. I'm very much looking forward to exploring it.

*Sigh*
(We finally made it...)

(Our trip's just begun, but I'm already exhausted.)

Hey, check it out!
They've got one of those stand-in boards! Let's take a group photo!

Oh, what a colorful cast of characters!
Alright, I'll be... This octopus at the top!

Then, I'll be the tanuki.

Let's go, Shiho! Hurry!

This only has room for three people, so I'll be the photographer for this one.

Oh, you're right.
I wish we could all be in it together...

Then, why don't we switch once you've taken ours? I'll take over on the camera next, Shiho!

Oh, Tsukasa, nice idea!

No, we don't need to take that many...

(Geez, these three really just do whatever they feel... They're the complete opposite of me. I have no way of predicting what they're gonna do next...)

(I can't let my guard down.)
