*Huff* *Puff* Hanayo, just how far are we going? I don't think I can take another step.

Hmm, just a bit further!

Further?! Left, right, everywhere I look, all I see are trees. I'm scaaared.

We'll be fine! This is all for those delicious ingredients. We have to keep going.

So what exactly are you looking for?

*Chuckle* Excellent question. I'm looking for the king of fall, which means matsutake mushrooms!

Really?! Matsutake?! Those would be perfect! Can we really find them here?

I asked the caretakers earlier and they said we can. Unfortunately, they said that matsutake mushrooms only grow up in the mountain, so getting them is difficult.

Gotcha. Hmm, I guess those mushrooms have to be here if the caretakers said so.

We keep calling this a fall harvest festival, so I want to have some matsutake mushrooms for it.

I have this picture in my mind of the king of fall, matsutake mushrooms, mixed into takikomi gohan, and I have to give it a try!

That doesn't really have anything to do with barbecuing.

But it still sounds really good, so that means I have to do my Rubesty!

Hey, I wonder if everyone will be surprised when we come back with a bunch.

They'll totally be surprised and ecstatic. Why wouldn't they? It's matsutake rice!

But still…how much further do we have to hike? *Huff*

*Sniff* *Sniff* Oh, they must be close.

Huh? Are you sniffing them out?

Well, yeah, matsutake mushrooms are tasty, right? I can smell something deliciously sweet coming from over there.

Do those mushrooms really smell sweet?

*Sniff* *Sniff* Yup, I'm sure we're getting close! Ruby, this way!

O-Okay.

[Fade in/out.]

Wow, look at all these mushrooms!

Whoa! There's really no end to them.

With all of these, we can have a mushroom party!

I guess we can.

Do you know which ones are matsutake?

There's so many here that I can't tell. But they should definitely be around here somewhere! Let's take back a whole bunch.

Wait, are you sure about this? There's no poisonous ones mixed in?

We're totally fine. Look at this one, it's so red and adorable! I bet it tastes amazing.

For some reason, I've got this hunch telling me that we shouldn't take that one. H-Hold on. We should look up what everything is on our phones first!

Whaaat? But it looks so tasty.

It really doesn't look that way to me.
