All right everybody, let's see if we can catch us a cryptid today!

Have there been any more sightings? I couldn't find any new information.

Yeah, I had a look myself, but nothing. But hey, I'm sure we'll find something any second now!

Ayumu, Ai! Sorry to keep you waiting!

Hi.

Hanayo!

*Giggle* Remember how I said I was gonna get more people to help? Well, I decided to add Hanayo to the search party, too.

Hanayo takes care of the alpacas at our school, so she's used to dealing with animals. She's a total animal expert!

A-An ex– All I do is take care of them! I'm really not that amazing!

Oh, c'mon! Don't sell yourself short! They wouldn't have given you that job if animals didn't like you. I think this might work!

So you know what we're looking for, Hanayo?

Yup. The cryptid in the ocean here, right? I was a bit shocked when Honoka suddenly asked me to help find a cryptid.

Hanayo, you don't have to do this if you don't want to.

Thanks, Ayumu. I'm…actually a little scared.

I did some research to find out what sort of ocean cryptids there were and everything I found was so huge and monstrous…

But if there's anything I can do to help then I want to at least try. And it is a little exciting thinking that I might come across an animal I've never seen before.

Hanayo! Thank you! Okay, now I'm REALLY glad I asked for your help!

Don't worry, Hanayo! If anything happens, I'll save you from the sea monster!

Th-Thank you very much!

All righty then! Now let's get out there and find us a cryptid for real this time!

[Fade in/out.]

Hmm, no signs of it here either. You guys got anything over there?

I found a bunch of seagulls! Do they count?

I found a crab just now, but that's about it.

I didn't find anything either… Wait, huh?!

Hanayo?! What's the matter?!

I think I saw something…way out in the ocean.

No way! Where, where, where?!

Over there! See? It's moving! I knew I saw something there!

You're kidding?! Hold up, I need my camera… Huh?

It's gone… Maybe it dove underwater?

I knew there was something out there! It's not just someone making stuff up or seeing things! There really is a cryptid right here in our very own waters!
