Hey, anyone else feel like we went the wrong way? This trail's just been getting rougher and rougher...

You too? I thought the same thing since we haven't gotten even a glimpse of the parking lot yet...

Yes, this feels strange. We went down the beginner route just like the sign back there said...

Maybe we should go back and retrace our steps...?

Yeah, we should. We turned there and came from... Hang on...

Which way did we come from again...?

The right side?

Really? Didn't we come from the left?

...

What do we do? We've taken so many turns, we've forgotten where we came from...!!

A-Are we lost...?

No, don't say that! It's not a big mountain or anything, so I'm sure we'll find our way back, right?

Oh, right! We can just check on our phones to see where we are too...!

Duh! Wow, I was really worried there for a second...

Hm...?

What's wrong, Ena?

I'm not getting a signal...

Oh no! What else can we do...?!
What if you waved your phone around in the air?

No, that almost never works!

Oh, maybe I am getting something...
If I just go over here and...

Ena, wait! That's a...!

Huh...?
A ledge...?!

Ena!!

Airi...!!

Gotcha! Just barely...!

Th-Thanks...
I didn't see it drop off there...

It's just a part of hiking.
I'm gonna pull you up, so come a little closer...

Airi, wait! This rock under my foot's about to...!

Huh?!

Noooooo!

Phew... Almost there...

Oh, Nene, I brought some candy with me. Would you like a piece?

S-Sure, I'll take one...

Noooooo!

Huh...?
Did you hear someone scream just now?

Hm? There are plenty of wild animals around here. Someone could've just come across one...

And it looks like it's about to start raining too, Nene. We may want to find some shelter before it's too late...

Oh, you're right. Those definitely look like rain clouds...

I'm getting a bad feeling about this...

Ow, that hurt...

Airi! Are you okay?!

Yeah. I scraped my knee a little, but I should be fine.

What about you, Ena?

I'm okay too, but my clothes got pretty dirty...
Ugh...This stuff better wash out...!!

Hehe. I haven't gotten this muddy since the last time I was on a variety show...!

How can you say something like that right now?!

Hey, you guys!!

Are you hurt?!

No, we're fine!
We just slipped and fell is all!

We'll just have to climb our way back up! Let's go, Airi!

Yeah! Let's get out of here and get cleaned up!

Shizuku! Mizuki! We're gonna try climbing back up! Can you pull us up when we get close?

Okay!

Yeah, we should be able to!

Alright, it's time to put my legs to the test! Those shows all prepared me for something like this!!

I can use this rock to jump up and... Whoa...!!

Airi?!

No good. The moss is too slippery...

But I can't give up here. I wouldn't be able to call myself an idol if I did! We're getting out of here!!

One, two...!
MORE MORE JUMP!!!!

Nice! You're almost there...!

Wah...!

Airi!!

Are you okay?! Are you hurt?!

I'm fine...
But I can't get back up at all. I feel like a disgrace as an idol...!

What does being an idol have to do with this...?!

They're having quite a bit of trouble...
It feels like they're just out of our reach. Maybe we can pull them up if we go out a little further...?

Maybe, but if they slip while you're doing that, you'd fall down there with them...

Is there anything else we can do...?

...

Shizuku, I can try looking for a place where I get a signal and call for help!

Huh?!

Ena! Airi!
This might take a while, but try to hang on, okay?!

Mizuki...?!

But the trail!! What if you get lost when you're by yourself...?!

I'll be fine! I promise to be right back with help!

But...

Shizuku, can you wait with them here? We need to make sure nothing happens to them while we try to get help...

I understand...
Good luck, Mizuki!

Thanks! Be back soon!

(I have to hurry...!)

(Hm? Rain? But it was sunny a second ago...!)

(No, it's really starting to come down... If I don't get help soon, Ena and Airi are gonna be in trouble...)

(And no signal yet, but I think I'm getting close... I just gotta keep trying...!!)

Wah!!

Ow...

(*Sigh*... They're ruined...
I really liked this outfit too...)

(Seriously, what am I doing?
Getting all muddy in a place like this...)

I know that...
I get it, but...

(For now, I need to keep going...!)

(I can just buy new clothes to replace these. What happens next year or the year after doesn't matter right now either...!)

(I have to help them...!)

(I have to find a way to save Ena and Airi...!)

We got down sooner than I expected.

Yeah. It's a good thing that we saw it coming too. We should be able to keep dry here.

(People...? Hey, a rest area...!
Thank goodness...!)

Excuse me!!

Huh?

I really need your help!!
My friends fell off a ledge...!

Huh...?
