*Pant* *Pant* I need to get away… I need to get further away!

Yoshikooo!

D-Don't follow me! Gah!

Yoshiko, are you okay?!

Don't come any closer! More terrible things will happen to you if I'm near!

What do you mean?

All of the bad luck that we've had today is my fault! I summoned misfortune! I don't want any of you to suffer more than you already have!

It wasn't supposed to happen like this… We were supposed to make happy summer memories together… But then…

Zuramaru's wallet was empty, we got sticky from the cotton candy, we won pretty much nothing at the ring toss, we didn't scoop a single goldfish, and Karin burned her tongue!

*Giggle* I'd rather burn my tongue than eat a cold takoyaki, to be honest.

I'm going to save up money in the piggy bank that I won today so I can buy that game console at a store.

I already told you that it's normal to not catch any goldfish from those games.

And the cotton candy rinsed right out. Our hair is already dry.

I jumped to conclusions about my wallet, zura. It wasn't your fault, Yoshiko.

Besides, I think all those things that happened will make for better stories to tell our friends back home who couldn't be here today.

B-But… We can't watch the fireworks because of the crowds, and even if we went back to that spot now, it would be even more crowded than ever.

I'm sure there are other places with a good view of the fireworks. My local knowledge and experience will come in handy at a time like this, zura!

Maybe there's some info online about it. Let's look for a new spot together, Yoshiko.

You guys… Th-Thank you… But, um…

What's wrong?

My, uh, sandal strap broke again…

I told you not to thrash around! Give it here. I'll fix it for you again—

*Gasp*

It's a firework! They must be starting now.

The fireworks in Numazu are so beautiful every year, zura!

Wow, this is actually a great view. There aren't many people around because we're away from the stalls, so we can watch the fireworks in peace.

They really are so beautiful. We owe it all to you, Yoshiko.

Huh? Me? Wh-Why?

If you hadn't run off in this direction, and if your sandal strap hadn't broken, we wouldn't have been able to see the fireworks so well.

Even subconsciously, you've guided us to the best outcome. Mistress Yohane, you truly are amazing, zura!

Thanks to you, Yohane, we made some exciting and thrilling memories after all. Thank you!

You guys…

You can summon fortune just as well as misfortune, so don't look so down in the dumps.

I-I'm not down in the dumps! My magic just isn't flowing right after getting jostled in those crowds!

That's right… Misfortune and fortune are one and the same before me! Come what may, my decisions shall always lead to a just conclusion!

Stick with me and I will show you even more fun and amazing vantage points. So keep following your master, my little demons!
