Achoo!!
This rain isn't doing us any favors...

Ena and Airi might catch a cold if they stay exposed like this. I'm worried about Mizuki too...

No, I need to be more positive...!
We need to save them before the rain gets worse. Is there anything I can do right now to help...?

<Oh, is this a bad time...?>

Wait, this voice... Was that...?

<Shizuku, it sounded like you're in quite a bit of trouble...!>

Luka...!

W-We are!
Ena and Airi fell down a ledge...!

Mizuki went off to go look for help, but I haven't been able to do anything for them. It's raining too, so if we don't do something soon, Ena and Airi might...

<Don't worry, Shizuku. We can think of a way to help them together.>

Luka... Thank you so much...!

<You said they fell, but can they still move around?>

I believe so. Airi said she scraped her knee, but that was about it. Still, I'm incredibly concerned...

<I see... We do need to act fast...>

Yes, we do. I was hoping that I'd be able to just pull them back up, but they were too far away. If only we had a rope or something...

<Do you have anything that can act as a rope?>

Well, I was carrying the tarp and towels. Oh, a change of clothes too...

But these wouldn't be long enough even if we did turn them into a rope somehow...

What if I tied them all together?
Then they might be long enough...!

<Great idea! Do you know how to tie the right knots?>

Yes, I think I still do. I learned how to for an educational show once. Do you think this will work...?

<I believe in you.
I'm sure you can do it, Shizuku!>

Thanks, Luka...!
I'll give it a try!

It's really starting to come down. That ledge is gonna be way too wet to climb up now...

What do we do? It'll be dark soon too...! If we can't get back up, does that mean we'll...?

Saying stuff like that isn't gonna help us get out of this. We have to keep trying and come up with a way to get out of here!

But we've already tried everything!
What else can we possibly do?!

*Gasp*...

I'm so sorry, Airi. It's all my fault for slipping and falling down here in the first place...

Ena, enough...!
Just try thinking about your art or something for now!

Huh? My art?

Back in junior high, your dad told you that you don't have any talent, but you kept on drawing! You never gave up!

Even after you couldn't get into that art school, even as no one appreciated your art, you kept going!

You overcame all those things and never gave up! You're a fighter, Ena!

Airi...

So buck up!
We have to believe in Mizuki too!

Believe in...
Yeah, I'm sure Mizuki will...

Hey, you guys!!

Wait, was that Mizuki's voice...?

I'm back!! I brought help too!!

Mizuki!

<Thank goodness. Looks like everything will be okay now♪>

Yes, I think so...!
Oh, right! I need to put you away for now, Luka...!

<Yes, but I'll still be here with you until Ena and Airi are back safe with you.>

Thank you, Luka!

You two, over here!

Is this where your friends fell, Mizuki?

Whoa, that's pretty steep...

I do have some rope on me, but it may not be long enough...

In that case, please feel free to use this...!

Hm...?
Did you make this, Shizuku?

I did. If you tie it together with that rope of yours, I'm sure we can use it to save them!

Nice work, Shizuku!

You've tied these together very well.
I believe this will do...

Okay, let me tie the other end of the rope to here and...

Alright, everyone... Pull!

W-We made it... I thought we were goners...!

The rain really didn't help, but great work hanging in there, Ena!

You too, Airi. I don't even want to think about what might've happened if Mizuki and Shizuku weren't here either...

Airi! Ena!
Thank goodness you're safe...!

Yeah, I'm relieved too but exhausted at the same time...

You two really saved our skins there. I'm not sure we'll ever be able to pay you back for this...

Nah, don't worry about that...

And we need to thank these two for saving us as well...

What, us?
We're just glad that you're safe.

It looks like you can still walk too. We'll lead you back to the rest area.

Right...!

<I'm glad everything worked out. I'll be heading back now, Shizuku.>

Thank you for your help, Luka. And I'm sorry about not getting a chance to show you this wonderful landscape...

<Oh, don't mind me.
I'll see you later, okay♪>

Yes, see you in SEKAI!

Hm? Did you just say something, Shizuku?

Huh? Oh, I was just talking to myself...

We'll have to apologize to everyone that came on this tour too. They're probably worried sick about us...

Yeah, but how...?

For now, let's just be glad that we're all okay. After we get back, we can get some well deserved rest...

Um, Mizuki...

What's up?

Wasn't that your favorite outfit?
I feel terrible about it getting ruined like that. I'm so sorry...

What, this? I did like it, but I can just buy something else, right? More importantly...

You're safe now and that's what matters most.

Mizuki...

And you're not hurt at all?

I'm fine, really...

Yeah, me too!
This barely counts as a scratch!

Oh, Airi...
Just promise to get it checked after we head home, okay?

Yes, please do. You might not even know something's wrong until days later.

Okay, okay, I'll go! I promise...!

(It's been a while since I saw that look on Mizuki's face...)

(I want to help. I have to help...)

(I don't care if Mizuki doesn't feel like talking, I don't want to see that expression again...)

(I mean, Mizuki's my...)
