Airi

Listen

Alright, let's head to the shrine for the performing arts!
2

Tsukasa & Shizuku

Listen

Yes!
3

Airi

Listen

Actually, before we do, mind if we take a quick detour?
4

Tsukasa & Shizuku

Listen

Huh?
5

Mafuyu

Listen

Where, Momoi?
6

Airi

Listen

Between here and the shrine, there's supposed to be a big street with lots of shops... We should be able to buy souvenirs and have a quick tea break.
7

Airi

Listen

So, would that be okay?
It'll also give you two a chance to find some souvenirs like you said.
8

Rui

Listen

Yes, that sounds good.
9

Airi

Listen

Great!
Then, we'll start with the street of souvenir shops!
10

Tsukasa & Shizuku

Listen

Okay!

11

Shizuku

Listen

Wow...!
So many shops...!

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

12

Mafuyu

Listen

Let's see... Based on this map, there's a souvenir shop on the street just ahead, with a little tea shop further along.
13

Tsukasa

Listen

Oh, that bulletin says a new Japanese sweet shop apparently just opened up in the area where the tea shop is. It seems very popular.
14

Airi

Listen

Japanese sweets?!
That's definitely going on the list...!
15

Airi

Listen

Shizuku, we gotta check it out later and–
16

Shizuku

Listen

Oh wow...!
These candies look like gemstones!
17

Rui

Listen

Yes, these could work very well as a stage prop if we made a ring using some. I can see it already... The king eats his own ring as he goes mad with power...
18

Airi & Tsukasa

Listen

*Sigh*
Oh dear...
19

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, you can try this mochi?
Then, I'd like a sample!

Airi

Listen

Hey, don't wander off without us!
Have you forgotten that your phone's out of battery?!

21

Rui

Listen

Oh, a textile shop.
It'd be nice to make some costumes out of these fabrics someday.

Sound Effect: Play

22

Tsukasa

Listen

Hey, that goes for you too!
Don't wander off like that!

23

Mafuyu

Listen

This is turning into quite a lively day...
24

Airi

Listen

Alright, let's find some souvenirs for our nearest and dearest!

25

Airi

Listen

Mutsuhashi are pretty standard...
But I kinda want to get something more fun.
26

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, how about these?
Grapefruit-flavored mutsuhashi gummies!
27

Tsukasa

Listen

Grapefruit-flavored mutsuhashi gummies?!
28

Mafuyu

Listen

That's quite the combination...
29

Airi

Listen

I guess this kind of tragedy is what happens when the tourism industry goes a little too far...
30

Rui

Listen

But they could be worth getting.
Emu likes these sorts of strange snacks, and Nene likes grapefruit.
31

Tsukasa

Listen

That doesn't justify buying these!
32

Mafuyu

Listen

Ena might like some of these blotting sheets...
33

Airi

Listen

You're getting those for her, Asahina?
Then, I think I'll get this powder puff...
34

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. It would've been nice to also run into Ena here since we're all second years.
35

Airi

Listen

That's sorta doubtful since night school students don't have their trip at the same time as regular students.
36

Airi

Listen

So, we should take this opportunity to get her some nice gifts!
37

Tsukasa

Listen

Hmm... I'm not seeing one anywhere...
38

Mafuyu

Listen

What are you looking for, Tenma?
39

Tsukasa

Listen

Oh, one of those golden Kyoto figurines...
40

Airi

Listen

Golden Kyoto figurines...?
41

Rui

Listen

Do you mean one of those porcelain dolls made in Kyoto, but colored gold...?
42

Airi

Listen

Wait, what are you talking about?!
There's no way they make those!
43

Tsukasa

Listen

That's unfortunate... I've searched for them everywhere to no avail... I was hoping to get one for Saki.
44

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, you're looking for something for Saki?
In that case...
45

Shizuku

Listen

How about some of these colorful comfits? They look like little stars.
46

Tsukasa

Listen

Oh, you're right!
And they're very cute! Excellent idea!
47

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. I'm glad to hear that.
I think I'll get some for Shii.
48

Shizuku

Listen

How adorable is it going to be when they have these together with their friends?
49

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes...!
A harmonious scene indeed!
50

Airi

Listen

Oh... Thank goodness... Saki's going to get a real gift...
One hour later

51

Tsukasa

Listen

Okay, that should do it for souvenirs...
52

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh, I see a Japanese sweet shop up ahead. Shall we take a break there?
53

Airi

Listen

Yeah!
Hehe. I can't wait to see what they have♪ Huh?!
54

Airi

Listen

Wh-Where'd Shizuku go?!
55

Tsukasa

Listen

Wh-What?!
This is terrible...!
56

Rui

Listen

It is...?
57

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes, because she's—
58

Shizuku's Voice

Listen

Oh, this is so lovely...!
59

Airi

Listen

*Gasp*
There she is!

60

Old Store Clerk

I'm sure it'll look very good on you, miss.
61

Shizuku

Listen

Thank you very much!
But this looks so well made... I'm not sure I can afford it...
62

Old Store Clerk

Hehe. You're in for a nice surprise.
I make these as a part of my hobby.
How does this much sound?
63

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, my allowance can cover that...!
Then, if you don't mind...
64

Old Store Clerk

Yes, of course!

Sound Effect: Play

65

Airi

Listen

Shizuku!
Again, your phone has no power, so losing sight of you immediately turns into a big emergency!
66

Shizuku

Listen

Oh! Hi, Airi...!
67

Rui

Listen

She's prone to getting lost?
68

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes...
Her sense of direction leaves something to be desired...

Sound Effect: Play

69

Shizuku

Listen

I'm sorry.
I found something wonderful that really caught my attention...
70

Tsukasa

Listen

Something wonderful?
71

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, this.

Sound Effect: Play

72

Rui

Listen

Ah, what a lovely haori.
73

Rui

Listen

These snowflakes... They've been embroidered so carefully onto this white fabric...
74

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. That's also what I liked about it.
75

Airi

Listen

Yeah, it's really pretty... But when are you gonna wear it?
76

Shizuku

Listen

I was thinking of using it as a bed jacket since I'm not sure when I'd wear this outside.
77

Airi

Listen

R-Really?! A bed jacket?!
This looks way too nice for that!
78

Shizuku

Listen

W-Would that be bad?
79

Airi

Listen

No, but...
I guess that does suit you best.
80

Airi

Listen

Anyway, now that we're all back together, let's head over to that sweet shop!
81

Tsukasa

Listen

Right!
And after that, we can head over to the shrine for the performing arts!
Shrine for the Performing Arts

82

Tsukasa

Listen

Alright, we're here!
And still all together...
83

Mafuyu

Listen

So, shall we go make our wishes?
84

Airi

Listen

Okay!
Ready, everyone!

85

Tsukasa

Listen

I will!!! Become!!! The world's greatest star!!!
86

Airi

Listen

Whoa...!
Who shouts like that while making their wish?!
87

Mafuyu

Listen

Th-That was alarming...
88

Rui

Listen

I agree... I'm used to this in your case, but I doubt many people shout out their wishes the way you did...
89

Tsukasa

Listen

W-Wait, but...!
I need to be loud if I want this shrine's deity to hear me, no?!
90

Airi

Listen

Th-They probably felt your presence...
91

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe... Hehehe...
92

Mafuyu

Listen

Is something the matter, Hinomori?
93

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, I'm sorry...
It's just... Tsukasa really hasn't changed since we were little.
94

Rui

Listen

Actually, Hinomori...
How long have you two known each other?
95

Airi

Listen

Yeah, I didn't ask you that. It seems like you two have known each other forever...
96

Shizuku

Listen

I've known Tsukasa since we were in elementary school.
97

Mafuyu

Listen

So, you're childhood friends?
98

Tsukasa

Listen

Actually...
We didn't play that often together, but I suppose we're something like that...
99

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, that seems fair.

Shizuku

Listen

I first met him when we were in second grade...
