Allow me to introduce you to my fellow residents of the Moon World.

Riko!

Heya!

I was getting tired of waiting!

Emma, Kanan, and Nico!

No. We're residents of this Moon World!

That's right! This is the Moon World. A land ruled by the goddess of the moon!

And now that goddess is hidden away in a cave known as the Cave of the Heavens.

The goddess is an avatar of the moon. As long as she stays hidden within the cave, the moon will never be seen in the night sky.

Which is why we've gone to great lengths to persuade her to come out.

But she just won't listen.

And so we ended up at a complete loss.

We came to the conclusion that external help would be necessary, hence why we have summoned you here.

R-Right…

So it's not just Shizuku. You three are also in on the act…

Hey, are you listening to us? If we don't do anything about this, you'll never be able to see the moon! Are you okay with that?!

Well, no, but…

Riko, you're our only hope. Please help us!

Don't look at me with those puppy-dog eyes!

Please, lend us a hand!

Your assistance would be appreciated!

C'mon, help us!

Pretty please!

…

Okay then.

Tee-hee!

Yay! Thanks, Riko.

I don't really understand what's happening, but I do get the feeling that you're all serious.

So I'm just gonna go along with this and give it a shot. Let's settle the Moon World's dilemma and bring this play to a close.

It seems like she doesn't really understand it just yet…

That is completely fine, as long as she helps us!

The goddess of the moon is cooped up in the cave, right? Was there something that triggered that?

That's the thing. We have no idea.

I don't remember doing anything to make her angry.

Huh. Well, in that case…

Do you have some kind of brilliant plan, Riko?

Yup. Guys, listen up. What do you think about this?
