I was really surprised yesterday.

Hm?

Everyone knew what I was thinking before I even said anything…

Oh, that?

I know you can read my thoughts, Ayumu. You've done it plenty of times before.

But everyone else too…

Isn't it just that we understand each other so much that we can do that?

We've certainly spent enough time together to be able to.

You think so…?

I do.

Although!

I want to be the one who understands you most of all!

Ayumu…?

Kidding! Hehehe!

Hey, we're almost there. Let's go! We've got to get everyone's advice about the festival!

[Fade in/out.]

Good morning!

Morning.

What are you all doing here?

We're researching Odaiba festivals.

It's important to understand the situation, both in real life and in games. Rina-chan Board says, “Tense.”

How proactive! So how's it going?

Well, there's all kinds of events every year.

Which makes sense for a tourist town.

It's like there's always some event going on at some place or other.

I guess we are always going to things, aren't we?

This month it's one place, the next month another, then somewhere else a month after that. It's such a lively place.

I guess you'd call it diversified?

It'll be tough holding something like the Daikoku Festival here, won't it?

Like Ai said yesterday, the town is still being built, and not that many people live here…

But there're lots of people who love Odaiba!

Those people come here every day, even if they don't live here. That describes us, as well as the people who work in the shopping mall.

I mean, they spent about half of every day in Odaiba, so they must have some attachment to it.

Hopefully, we can work together with people like that.

We should go ask them! Tell them to help us put on an Odaiba Festival!

You're right. Let's get in touch with them!

Hey, before we go to ask them, why don't we get some advice from the girls in μ's and Aqours?

Let's ask them what's important for a festival in celebration of a place.

I'd like to hear what things you consider important at a shopping district festival, and what Karin considers important at a hometown festival too.

I don't know how useful it'll be, but I'll ask my family.

Me too!

Could you ask about the Neighborhood Association festival too, Kasumi?

Leave it to me!

Let's ask μ's and Aqours the next time we play a game together.

We're playing from 9 until 1 today! I'm going to do my homework and take a bath before then!

I hope we finally run into that monster today.

The one you already missed twice?

Third time's the charm, hopefully!

They also say what happens twice will happen thrice, though…

Even if the third time's no good, there's always next time! I'm gonna find it one day!

And besides, there's still plenty to do even if we don't find it!

Before the game, though…

Mia! I won't lose to you in running today!

I've been training with Karin and Lanzhu, so I don't plan on losing either…

I'll take you on any time, Little Puppy.

I am not a puppy!
