Waaah! I was so excited to try one!

We can't help that it's sold out. Let's come again another time.

We should come back in the morning. I wanna buy some seasonal fruit sandwiches and then go on a picnic, zura!

Oooh! That's a great idea! Yoshiko, how about it?

W-Well, I'd like to go, but…I'm sure the weather will get bad if I'm there with you…

We can still have a picnic even if it's not sunny, zura. Let's eat at my place!

Then it's set, Yoshiko!

Oh well. I suppose I could agree to that, for the next time we buy sandwiches. Also, it's not Yoshiko! It's Yohane!

[Fade in/out.]

In the darkness of the new moon, Yohane descends! How I've kept you waiting, little demons!

Let us revel together in the darkness of another midnight soiree.

By the by, are any of my little demons aware of the school idol fansite?

“I'm always so excited to read about the Aqours Challenges.”

Heh… As expected of my little demons.

“When is your challenge going to be, Mistress Yohane?”

Mwahaha. What an excellent question. I was hoping to get my little demons' opinions on that very matter this evening.

Specifically, regarding a challenge that will increase my magical powers.

It should go without saying that I have the perfect plan ready. However, as the opportunity has arisen, I may as well entertain my little demons' requests.

“How about one where you go to an abandoned hospital really late at night, or some other haunted place, then stream a friendly chat with some spirits?”

Huh? A hospital forsaken by time, in the absolute dead of night…? N-No way! Absolutely not!

N-Not that I'm afraid of the idea or anything.

There are many reasons! For one, if a being with as formidable magical power as myself, a fallen angel, went to such a place, it would disrupt the balance of spiritual energy!

Anyway, that's a no on ghosts and haunted places. Next!

“What about bungee jumping?”

No! That would pose no challenge for a fallen angel whose wings carry her through the sky. And just for the record, that doesn't scare me in the slightest.

“Since roaring flames are nothing to a fallen angel like you, Mistress Yohane, then you must have a raving appetite for hot peppers.”

No, I don't! I keep telling you, that's not what I'm going for!

[Fade in/out.]

*Sigh* I can't find a single decent challenge.

If I cannot rely on my little demons, then perhaps I must strike out on my own.

My challenge… Hmm…

Morning, Yoshiko.

G'morning!

Yes, good morning.

Hey, did you hear about the Numazu Walk Rally?

Numazu Walk Rally? What's that?

So there are these checkpoints on a map. You go around them and collect stamps or solve riddles and stuff. It's something the shopping district came up with, zura!

Huh, that sounds like fun.

And there's a prize for everyone who completes it!

Right, right. The shopping district people are giving out prizes, and the winners can choose whichever one they like in order of arrival. Here, look at this flyer!

Wow, so many different shops are giving out prizes—

Huh?! A statue of a goddess that can dispel any kind of bad luck or misfortune?!

Eh? Was that on there?

Yep, it's a prize from the antique shop, zura. This statue apparently has some serious history, zura!

Like… If you worship it then go fishing, you'll definitely have clear skies and a huge haul! And she protected a whole village, I heard.

This… This is it!

This is my Aqours Challenge! To obtain that statue of the Goddess of Fortune!

[Fade in/out.]

Yeah… With that, even I could triumph over my own bad luck!

I would trouble the other members of Aqours no longer.

On top of that, the seasonal sweets would never be sold out, and our picnics would always have nice weather!

*Giggle* Ruby. Zuramaru. Mark my words.

I will bring us fabulous luck through my Aqours Challenge!
