[Fade in/out.]

Oh, Riko! Thank goodness!

Geez, where were you?! We were worried sick!

*Huff* *Huff* Sorry. But we were all gathered in front of the cave until just a moment ago, right?

Huh? What are you talking about?

You suddenly disappeared so we've all been looking for you.

What?

Hoppy disappeared too, so we thought the two of you went off somewhere.

So where were you all this time, Riko?

Wha? Uhh, well… I went to the Moon World with Hoppy…

Huh? Where on earth is that?

Well, it's not exactly “earth” but, uh, anyway… Sorry for making you all worry about me.

In any case, we're glad you're okay.

Hey, Riko? At least something good happened while you were away.

Something good?

Take a look at the sky.

Hm?

Oh, the moon!

Yup! A nice, perfectly full moon's come out to show her face to us!

It's so beautiful…

That means we've got everything ready now.

So with that, let's hop to it and gaze at the moon!

Gosh, all of that running around's got me starving!

Here's the dango dumplings. We've got four kinds—sweet soy syrup, red bean paste, roasted soy flour, and green soybean paste. Pick and choose whatever you like.

That's our Nico! You're such a good cook!

Cooking's pretty much a regular thing for you, right?

N-No it's not! I had our chef at home teach me the recipe, that's all!

There you go putting up a front again!

I'm not!

Was that all a dream just now? No, it couldn't be. It didn't feel like one. But does that mean the Moon World really does exist, then?

Riko! Hurry up and come over here!

Ah, I'll be right there, Oh Divine One! I mean, Rin!
