Hanamaru, what are you doing?

Getting ready to birdwatch, zura. I brought the book and binoculars, so I might as well use them.

Too bad the bird Eli found flew away. They're surprisingly hard to find when you're actually looking for them. It's almost like they appear out of the blue.

Yeah. It's especially difficult because of all the trees here. You could probably find a big bird, but the little ones will be hidden by all the twigs and leaves.

That's why you have to listen carefully to the sounds around you, zura. The wind, the rustling of the trees, the rush of the river… That's where being a birdwatcher starts!

Ears, not eyes, huh? I see! Let me try. I'm gonna pinpoint a hidden little birdie's voice!

[Fade in/out.]

Umi, what are you looking at?

A map of the mountain. We didn't run that far, so the trail should be close by.

What a relief! Actually, if you find a water symbol on there, it could be this area.

Right. Once I figure out where we are, it'll be easy to determine which way to go. We'll find our way back to the trail and restart our hike!

[Fade in/out.]

That was so much fun! Those birds were adorable, zura.

When you really try, you can spot quite a few of them.

Hanamaru! Kanata! I figured out how to get back to the trail. We've had enough time to rest. Let's get going.

Whew. We're going to make it back after all.

Huh? Wasn't Yoshiko with you, Kanata?

Huh? I thought she was with you.

…

Arrrrgh! Why did this have to happen right as I found the way back?! How long has Yoshiko been missing?!

U-Umm… She was here when we were drinking tea. After that, I think she was messing around near the river. No, wait, maybe she went further into the forest…

Great. If we go the wrong way looking for her, we'll never find our way back to the trail.

This is ridiculous. Yoshiko, where are you?!

My name isn't Yoshiko! It's YOHANE!

There she is!

There's no need to bemoan my absence, little demons. Yohane will always be near her servants in their hour of need!

You weren't near just now. Where'd you go?

I went to greet the gods of this area. Even an exalted fallen angel such as myself must mind her manners. One must announce oneself before setting foot in another's territory.

Yoshiko. I trust you've got something else to say?

Eeeek! I-I-I'm sorry I ran off by myself!

Hmm? Yoshiko, there's something on your shirt. It looks like a flower petal.

Oh, yeah! There's something I wanna show you all. Follow me!
