Over here, Ai!

Whoa, you're early! I would've sworn I'd be the first one here, but here you are.

I was so excited for today that I woke up early.

Me too, actually.

Let's have lots of fun at DiverCity today and think about what to do for our event!

Yeah. Let's hope we can come up with the perfect idea.

[Fade in/out.]

Are we still waiting on Karin?

Hmm… Maybe…

Maybe she's…

Sleeping in again?

I'll message Emma-chi—

Morning.

Ah, Karin!

Thank goodness. I was just about to message Emma-chi to see if you'd slept in.

I got up bright and early!

It's just…

I saw a really interesting-looking store on the way here. Sorry.

Wow, what kind of store? Take us there!

Huh? Oh, of course!

Later, though. We're on a mission to find some clues for our festival today, right?

Oh, that's right! I just forgot why we're here.

Oh well. Now come with me!

[Fade in/out.]

*Yawn* I'm exhausted!

It kind of feels like we were just having our usual fun, but did we find anything special about DiverCity?

Well, I suppose nowhere else has a giant robot like that.

That's right! I hope we can do something with that robot.

Such as…

Decorating it with paper lanterns!

I-I don't know about that… Maybe Christmas lights or something…

Huh? But it's a festival! You've gotta have paper lanterns at a festival!

They have them at Daikoku Festival, Uchiura Festival… Even the festival in the shopping district where I live has them! They're essential!

But don't you want to come up with something more fitting for DiverCity?

Hmmm…

I've got it! We'll decorate the lanterns with Christmas lights! That's a good idea, right?

Man, I can just picture it!

Hey, you know that game we played today where we threw a ball to earn points?

Where your score depended on how fast you threw the ball and where it hit?

That's it! Didn't that feel really futuristic?

That was all lit up and stylish looking too.

Yes. It really lifted my spirits.

Right?! It was like I was being sucked into those sparkling lights in front of me!

That futuristic atmosphere is very Odaiba, I think.

A fusion of a festival and the future!

In that case, how about something like a cyber Bon dance?

When I think of festivals, I do think of people doing a Bon dance on a bandstand or something.

Good, good! We can decorate the bandstand so it looks suuuper stylish!

If we want to make it more cyber, hopefully we can use some futuristic technology.

Technology?

Like AR and VR.

Like a game, right?

And since it's me and you, maybe we could have some kind of dance battle?

You want to have a contest in the middle of a contest for which sub-unit is best?

Well, we might as well, right?

You're hopeless. Well, I won't lose either contest.

Yayyy! It's set!

Seems like you've got things figured out.

Yes, I think we're going to be able to put our own spin on a festival.

Then today's mission is complete!

Hey, we're still good for time, right? Let's check out that store Karin found this morning!

Huhhh?!

Um… Let's leave it until next time.

Huh? But I'm so curious!

It's a date for next time, I promise!

Okay, you'd better take me next time!
