Phew, we're finally here. And they told us to meet…

Ah. I see Emma over there.

Over there, it seems.

Heyyyy, Emmaaa!

[Fade in/out.]

Oh, Kanata! Ruby, Umi! We were waiting for you.

Did you have any trouble finding us, zura?

We almost got sucked in by that dumpling place we saw on the way, but otherwise we made it just fine.

Ohh! That store looked super yummy. It seemed like they use only the best ingredients.

*Giggle* Let's pick some dumplings up on our way home. Well then, since everyone is here, let the fall harvest festival begin.

Umm, so what exactly does a fall harvest festival entail?

Excellent question! We're going to have a barbecue party using fresh seasonal ingredients!

Sweet potatoes, chestnuts, pumpkin, mackerel pike, and mushrooms!

Whoa, you really went all out on the barbecue setup.

These days it's really convenient to just rent everything you need, zura.

You were able to rent all of these things? That is really convenient.

*Chuckle* That's exactly why we chose this place.

That makes sense.

Huh?

What's wrong, Ruby?

I don't see any other food besides rice here.

Oh, did you go out and rent a fridge, too?

Nope. The only ingredient we have right now is the rice that Hanayo brought.

What? Then where is the taste of fall you mentioned?

Heh heh heh. About that. We're all going to go out and get the food ourselves, zura!

You mean to say that there's so much that we need to help you carry everything, right?

Nope. I mean we're going to forage everything from the mountains and the rivers.

Because this is a fall HARVEST festival.

F-Forage? We are?

So that means we need to split up into pairs to go hunting for ingredients!

Oh no. I'm already starving, but now… If I'd known, then I would've bought those rice balls at the station.

I know this has thrown us all for a loop, but since we're already here, there's no going back, Kanata. We just have to do our best to get enough fall foods to fill us up!
