Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy
Kohane
Let's see... The classroom with the copy machine should be this one.
Kohane
(We won't really know how it looks until we print it... But I have a good feeling about this design!)
Kohane
(Shiho and Minori's teams also look like they're almost done with their tasks... I'm really looking forward to seeing how everything turns out.)
Kohane
(Huh? Over there... That looks like Emu and...)
Emu
Hehe♪
Our flyer turned our super duper cute, Honami!

Honami
Hehe. Yes, it did.
All that's left for us is to not make any mistakes during our performance...!

We'll be fine!
So, let's do our best as the little piggies!

Kohane
(Little piggies...?)
Kohane
(Oh, that's right. Class B is putting on a play. Does that mean Emu and Honami are going to be pigs?)
Kohane
(Wait, that's Airi and Shizuku...)
Airi
Honestly, how'd you end up with the key to the chemistry lab? Didn't I tell you to go ask for the key to the home ec room...?
Shizuku
I'm sorry, Airi. I know this is going to make baking anything rather difficult, but the lab does have these Bunsen burners... Can't we use those somehow?
Airi
We're supposed to be baking, not brewing up mad concoctions...!
Mafuyu
Oh, Hinomori, Momoi, hello. What are you two doing here?
Shizuku
Hello, Asahina!
The thing is, we wanted to borrow the key to the home ec room but ended up with the key to the chemistry lab...
The thing is, we wanted to borrow the key to the home ec room but ended up with the key to the chemistry lab...
Mafuyu
Ah, that may be because I currently have the key you're looking for. Why don't we head there together? I was thinking about hiding something there for the treasure hunt.
Airi
Really?! Thanks, Asahina!
You're a lifesaver!
You're a lifesaver!
???
Wow! Penguins!!
So many adorable penguins!
So many adorable penguins!
Saki
Our animal cafe's gonna look sooo cute!
Haruka
But it's going to turn into a penguin cafe at this rate if we're not careful. Did you two bring any animal-related goods that we can use?
Ichika
I bought some animal ear headbands after Saki suggested that we should. I'm a little embarrassed about wearing one, but shall we try them on together?
Kohane
(Wow... Every class is really trying their best. I guess this just means we all want the School Festival to go well...)
Kohane
Alright...
I need to keep doing my best too...!

This is it! The School Festival!
This is it! The School Festival!
Kohane
Oh, Minori, Shiho! Good morning!
Minori
Let's do our best to make sure all of our guests have fun today!
Shiho
To be fair, our “guests” today are all going to be Miya Girls students since we don't open to the general public until tomorrow.
Minori
But students count as real guests!
Shiho
Yeah, I guess you're not wrong.
In any case, we're gonna send shivers down their spines.

Kohane
Oh, right. You two are supposed to be wolves today.
Minori
Yup! My shift starts in the afternoon!
Minori
Let's do our best, Shiho!
We gotta roar like we mean it!
We gotta roar like we mean it!
Shiho
Roar? We're supposed to be wolves, not lions... But point taken. Let's do our best to really scare them.
Kohane
Hehe. Good luck.
Kohane
Oh, while we're on the subject...
What are you two doing before your shifts start?

Shiho
Oh, we should be good for today. They all said they're gonna be busy for a while, and we aren't performing until the night festival.
Minori
Oh, really?
Then, let's go see what's happening!

Shiho
I was wondering what your class was doing.
Shiho
Your cafe's very...cute...
Saki
Hehe. Isn't it though♪
We're gonna wait tables while wearing these animal ear headbands♪ I get to be a bunny, and Ichi gets to be a dog with droopy ears!

Shiho
Um, don't you mean cat ears on her...?
Haruka
Hehe. How do I look...?
Minori
Y-Y-Y-You look waaay too cute, Haruka! So cute that my head might pop off!
Ichika
Y-Your head...?
Haruka
Hehe. Thanks, Minori.
Haruka
Anyway, let me show you to your seats, and please enjoy your visit.
Haruka
Thank you for your patience. Here's your Hamster Cheek Pudding, Fluffy Bunny Tail Mousse and Soft & Squishy Doggy Cream Puff.
Kohane
Oh wow...!
This is so cute! I almost wish that I didn't have to eat it...!

It's so fluffy...

Haruka
I'm glad you like them so much.
I was a little worried since I didn't have much time to practice making them.

Minori
What...?! H-Haruka, you made these?!
Haruka
Not from scratch if that's what you mean... The individual pieces of these desserts are store-bought. I just tried putting them together in a cute way.
Minori
I see...
B-But I get to have a dessert that you put together, Haruka. How is this not the best cafe ever...?!

Minori
I, Minori Hanasato, promise to give a review that does this masterpiece justice!
AV Room
Third Kobuta Sister
“Serves you right, Mr. Okami!
Not even you can knock down the Kobuta family's superalloy house!”
Not even you can knock down the Kobuta family's superalloy house!”
Mr. Okami
“No! My precious crane...
It couldn't knock down your superalloy house...”
It couldn't knock down your superalloy house...”
Third Kobuta Sister
“Now, Mr. Okami, it's time for us to take you to the police!”
Eldest Kobuta Sister
“What you've done is terrible. Knocking down all those houses... You need to pay for your crimes.”
Eldest Kobuta Sister
“Willful destruction of property does come with a five-year sentence, but you'll be free once again after you've repaid your debt to society.”
Shiho
Honami's actually pretty good at acting.
But this story's kind of nuts...
But this story's kind of nuts...
Kohane
I was wondering what they meant by “The Real Three Little Pigs”... Do you think someone from their class wrote the script?
Shiho
I vaguely remember hearing that Honami asked Tsukasa and the others for some tips...
Shiho
That'd explain a lot if Tsukasa was the one who came up with this. I mean, so many things feel off about this story...
Minori
*Sob*
Minori
That's so sad...!
Mr. Okami was only knocking down the Kobuta sisters' houses because he didn't have a place to call home...

Shiho
But I guess it hits some people pretty hard...
Kohane
Hehe. Looks like it.
Courtyard
Minori
Hmmm...!
Shiho
I can't figure out the last riddle of this treasure hunt... Do you know what it's talking about, Kohane?
Kohane
Hmm... “Ye shall find the last treasure in a place that is always visible, but is not always seen.” Where is this “place” it's talking about...?
Minori
Somewhere that's always visible, but not always seen...? Hmm... Do we just need to keep looking for clues?
Shiho
I don't think we have time.
I'm guessing we only have about a minute left...
I'm guessing we only have about a minute left...
Mafuyu
Time's up, treasure hunters!
Minori
What?! No!
Already?!
Already?!
Kohane
W-We spent all of our time just thinking...
Mafuyu
Thank you all for participating.
As a consolation prize, you each receive a homemade quiz booklet. I hope you enjoy them.

Kohane
O-Oh, thank you very much!
Minori
Do you think Asahina was the one who came up with those riddles? They were really hard, but also really fun!
Shiho
Yeah, they were.
But that last one's still really bugging me...

Shiho
Uh oh... That voice...
Minori
Hey, Shizuku and Airi are inside that stall!
Shizuku
Welcome, you three.
Out for a stroll together?

We just tried our luck with the treasure hunt.

Airi

Airi
So, how would you like to try some of Class 2-D's homemade sweets?
Minori
Woohoo! What kind of sweets do you...?
Minori
Th-These look like pot stickers!
And this one looks like ramen!

Shiho
Wait, those aren't sweets...
Hang on. Does this mean...?!
Hang on. Does this mean...?!
Airi
Correct! They're lookalike sweets!
Kohane
Yeah, I just noticed that these pot stickers are cookies...! And this ramen's...pound cake...?!
Airi
Heh heh heh. We baked these with our classmates. They look pretty good, right?
Shizuku
Airi came up with the recipes for these and even taught everyone how to bake them. It was like she was the teacher.
Airi
Alright, take your pick!
We've even got some over here that look just like takoyaki.

Okay, I'd like... One of those pot sticker cookies!

Kohane
Oh, then... I think I'll have one of those takoyaki cream puffs.
Shizuku
And you'll have the ramen, right, Shii?
Shiho
Slow down. I mean, yeah, it looks like ramen... But it's not...
Shizuku
Oh no!
Is it that you don't like these kinds of sweets very much...?
Is it that you don't like these kinds of sweets very much...?

We'll have them right out in a second!

They were good, but it tasted so different to what it looked like...
My mind was having trouble comprehending what I was eating.
My mind was having trouble comprehending what I was eating.
Kohane
Hehe. That made eating them all the more fun!
Minori
We went to the animal cafe, saw a play, tried solving some riddles, had some sweets... And it's not even noon yet! We've done so much already!
Shiho
I hate to rain on your parade, but we still have work to do.
Minori
Oh, I almost forgot!
Minori
Alright, let's do our best to make our haunted house as cute, scary and fun as possible!
Shiho & Kohane
Yeah!
Kohane
Make sure to stop by Class 1-A!
We're doing a haunted house called “Little Red Riding Hood and the Young Goats' Slightly Scary Forest Adventure”!

Kohane
You don't have to be a thrill seeker! It's meant to be fun for everyone...!
Students
So, it's a haunted house that's not too scary? Can you tell us more?
Kohane
Oh, you can choose to make it a game by becoming a hunter with a gun who can chase away the wolves...!
Kohane
Before you enter, you can choose that or enjoy it as a normal haunted house! Wh-What do you think...?
Students
Hey, that sounds fun...!
Wanna check it out? I kinda want to see what it's like.

Minori

During the School Festival too. But she definitely should rest...
During the School Festival too. But she definitely should rest...
Shiho
Doesn't that mean someone else is gonna need to fill in for her?
Classmate
About that...
We're having trouble finding a replacement because a lot of girls in our class have to do club stuff in the morning.

I have to run an equipment check in the morning for the night festival, so I won't be able to help either...
Kohane

The morning...
The morning...
Kohane
(An and the others said they'd be visiting in the afternoon. So, as long as I still get to meet up with them...)
Kohane
Um... What if I replaced her?
Minori
Wait, Kohane, are you sure?!
Kohane
Yes. I've already made plans for the afternoon, but I should be free in the morning.
Classmate
Thanks, Azusawa!
You're a lifesaver!

But I want our guests to have fun and enjoy themselves.)
