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!”
