Meow, mew, meow, mew, meoooow!

What amazing weather! The sun feels great!

Look at you, Rinko. You're in such a good mood.

*Giggle* Because this is the perfect weather for the Star Festival. I bet that with clear skies like these, we'll be able to see the beautiful Milky Way!

It has been raining constantly these days.

The data suggests that it's often rainy or cloudy on July 7th. That's what they said on the news.

I guess it does happen to coincide with the rainy season, after all.

Yet look at how wonderfully clear the weather is today!

Heh heh heh! I've got no doubt that this is all thanks to my usual good behavior.

I'm such a good girl that the powers above have rewarded me with beautiful weather!

You really are a good girl. Thanks for this!

*Giggle* I don't mind putting in a good word with the divine ones to bring about more nice weather, as long as you pat me on the head.

Really? *Pat* *Pat*

Awww! I love you, Chika!

*Giggle* Chika and Kasumi are both having fun.

By the way, I was given some bamboo alongside the bamboo grass to bring with me today. What's it going to be used for?

It's usually bamboo grass that's used for Star Festival decorations, right?

Heh heh heh.

You'll just have to wait and see! Rina-chan Board says, “Mehehe…”

Oh? It looks like Nozomi and Rinako are plotting something…

I'm so curious! Tell us!

Noooope!

It'll be way less fun if we just told you straight away!

Aww, why are you keeping it all to yourselves?!

*Giggle* Let's just wait with bated breath.

All right, time to decorate the bamboo grass real nice and pretty!

That's what I've been waiting for! Now I get to show off my special decorating techniques!

How about we leave the decorating part to Rin and the others, and we go ahead with preparing the you-know-what?

Okay!

All right! Then let's get started on our Star Festival party preparations!
