Ch. 35 Ep. 3: Eyes on the Goddess!

Yoshiko participates in the Numazu Walk Rally in order to get a statue of the Goddess of Fortune. The strength she built up from training gave her a good leg up, but misfortune follows wherever she goes.

Yoshiko

Mwahaha! I'll show you all that I'll be the first past the finishing line at the Numazu Walk Rally!

Player

Okay! Best of luck, Yoshiko! We've all got your back!

Yoshiko

I told you, I'm Yohane!

Yoshiko

Whatever. Just watch my Aqours Challenge!

Hanamaru

Leave it to me! The camera is prepped and ready, zura!

Yoshiko

I'll definitely bring home that good luck goddess statue for Aqours!

[Fade in/out.]

Chika

Wow, Yoshiko's off to an amazing start!

Dia

She certainly is fired up.

Player

Okay, we'd better get moving too!

Chika

Yeah!

[Fade in/out.]

Yoshiko

*Huff* *Puff* Okay, so I have to find a treasure chest on this beach.

Yoshiko

…Wait, in a place this massive?!

Riko

Yoshikooo!

You

You can do it!

Yoshiko

I won't give up! The great Yohane—

Yoshiko

Huh?!

Yoshiko

Everyone else is finding treasure chests super fast! I can't lose to them!

[Fade in/out.]

Yoshiko

Ngh. The treasure chest bit took longer than I thought it would. I'll have to make up for lost time at the knot-tying…

Kanan

Hey, there she is! Yoshikooo!

Mari

Keep up that pace!

Yoshiko

Let's see… Okay, I just have to tie a bowline knot.

Yoshiko

That's so easy!

Yoshiko

*Gasp* The rope snapped?!

Mari

WHYYY?! The whole point is that this stuff is pretty much unbreakable, right?!

Kanan

I didn't even think that was possible…

Yoshiko

Uuugh! I need another rooope!

[Fade in/out.]

Yoshiko

*Pant* *Huff* *Wheeze*

Yoshimi

Keep going!

Itsuki

It sounds like you're struggling to breathe. Are you okay?

Yoshiko

Hmph…! With fallen angel power on my side, this Walk Rally is nothing!

Mutsu

Oh, your shoelace is—

Yoshiko

GYAHHH!

[Fade in/out.]

Ruby

I really hope Yoshiko is all right.

Player

She's a little behind…

Dia

There she is! Yoshikooo!

Yoshiko

*Huff* *Puff* *Pant* *Huff*

Hanamaru

Yoshiko?! You're all worn out, zura!

Yoshiko

I'm fine. More importantly, this is the last checkpoint, isn't it?

Chika

Right. This place is supposed to have the most difficult puzzle. You can do it, Yoshiko!

Yoshiko

Have some faith. Who do you think I am?

Yoshiko

And everyone, listen up! It's not Yoshiko, it's Yohane!

Yoshiko

This is where I'll turn the tables. There is something that I absolutely must obtain, so…

Yoshiko

The place with the puzzle must be…

Yoshiko

Waaah! Wh-What is with this wind?!

Yoshiko

Gyaaah! My map is flying away! W-Wait uuup!

Yoshiko

*Sigh* What should I do now? Why does this always happen to me? Am I going to be stuck like this forever…?

Yoshiko

At this rate, my bad luck will spread to the whole of Aqours…

Chika

It's okay, Yoshiko! You'll be fine even without a map!

Yoshiko

D-Don't be ridiculous!

Chika

It's not ridiculous! I know you can do it, Yoshiko!

Chika

Now's the time for your fallen angel power!

Dia

Yes! Please show us your innate ability!

Yoshiko

…What's with you guys?

Yoshiko

Fine, I get it! I'll show you that I can at least find the location of the hidden puzzle, even without a map!

[Fade in/out.]

Yoshiko

*Pant* *Huff* *Gasp* I finally made it to the goal…

Attendant

Congratulations! Now, about your prize. I'm afraid that there's only one left so you can't choose…

Yoshiko

I can't pick?! But what about my statue of the Goddess of Fortune?!

Attendant

Oh, that's it! That's the last prize. Here you are. You've done well!

Yoshiko

Yes, I did it! I've finally obtained my Goddess of Fortune!

Player

Congrats, Yoshiko! You completed your Aqours Challenge!

Yoshiko

Well, with my true power, it was nothing.

Mutsu

You did trip and cry, though.

Yoshiko

Hey! Don't talk about that!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Thank you. I'm sure I can write up a great article about your Aqours Challenge, Yoshiko!

Yoshiko

Oh, um… About the part where I worried about being bad luck…

Player

It's all right. You wanted the goddess statue for Aqours' benefit, right? That's what I'll write about.

Player

Oh, right. You'll have to tell me more about how you tackled that last tricky problem at the shrine…

Player

…and how even though your map with the checkpoints written on it blew away in the wind, you didn't give up.

Yoshiko

Ah, I thought I was done for at that point. But…

Yoshiko

Chika's words rejuvenated me.

Yoshiko

Chika's always like that. Even when she looks worried and is starting to give up, she pulls through at the very end.

Yoshiko

Like that time the Summer Festival was almost canceled because of a typhoon, remember?

Yoshiko

As long as Chika's around, even I…can keep doing my best without giving up, I think.

Yoshiko

Um! That just now never happened! Don't include that!

Player

Really? Well, all right. I won't.

Yoshiko

Instead of that, write this: “Yohane obtains a statue of a goddess among other fabulous items for Aqours!”
