Kanata, over here!

*Huff* *Puff* Whew, I made it somehow.

You look really out of breath, what happened?

I was running late the moment I woke up, so I flew out of the house to get here on time.

Did you oversleep?

*Giggle* Let's just say I would've been in deep trouble if Haruka didn't wake me up.

Unbelievable.

I was too excited to fall asleep, so I barely made it on time too.

Well, that's natural. Everyone gets giddy the night before an event.

Yeah, I didn't even hesitate to make a teru teru bozu to pray for sunny weather.

I made one with Haruka too.

I actually did as well.

*Giggle* We're all on the same wavelength.

We are. Because we're all looking forward to today.

This bright and sunny day we have is probably thanks to our three teru teru bozu!

Oh yeah, by the way, I wonder what this fall harvest festival is all about.

I'm really curious. All Hanayo and the others said was that we're having a festival, but they didn't go into detail.

Do you think they want to eat a bunch of fall food together?

They told us to come hungry, so that has to be it.

Fall food? Like mackerel pike and sweet potatoes?

They might even have some matsutake mushrooms!

That is definitely worth getting excited for.

I'm hungry just thinking about it.

Me too!

At this rate I'll be starving by the time we get there.

Should we buy some rice balls at that kiosk?

Hmm. I think I'll hold off. We were told to come hungry, after all.

Good point. They say that the best seasoning is an empty stomach, so let's wait.

But what if that means we eat too much and gain weight?

Then we'd just have to exercise. Fall is a wonderful time for sports.

On a beautiful day like today, there's nothing wrong with filling your belly to the brim.

Eeek!
