Oh my cod! Everyone's gonna be reelin' when they see I got here first! Or…not!

Hahahaha! If you wanna say you got here first, you don't have to use so many puns! And “oh my cod?” C'mon, that's really pushing it!

Sometimes, the lamest puns are the punniest ones! Aww, but now you've broken my streak of being first to the clubroom.

Too bad! I'm pretty impressed that you managed a two week streak, though.

I was so sure two weeks meant I'd totally be able to make it a third, too. I thought that seal was supposed to have given me all sorts of luck too…

Seal? Did you go to the aquarium or something?

Yeah, the seal! Er, I mean…the cryptid!

The cryptid? Oh, right! You said you were going looking for a cryptid with Honoka and Ayumu. So it was a seal? Oh…maybe it's the same one?

Hm? What do you mean?

Uh, nothing! Just talking to myself. So it wasn't a cryptid, right? Either way, seeing a seal is a pretty rare experience too!

That's right! Hanayo, Kanan, and You joined in midway to help us out, but we couldn't find it no matter how hard we looked.

Anyway, we spent days on end searching for it, so I was really emotional when it finally appeared at the end! And puns were the key to our victory!

Victory? I mean, if you consider it a battle between cryptids and humans, I guess. But why do you say that?

*Chuckle* Before I threw the ultimate pickle weapon into the sea, I shouted a pun as loud as I could. Then, the seal showed up!

Wait, pickles were your ultimate weapon?! What was in them?!

I've let loose plenty of puns in the past, but that was the first time something so miraculous occurred. Man, aren't puns incredible?

Yeah… Uh, right… I think I should probably just stop thinking about the pickle part…

So the seal came to you when you said a pun, huh? Well hey, maybe you're right, then!

Right?!

Your jokes really make the people around you feel happy. I don't know if they'd have that power if anyone but you told them.

The mood brightens up the second you tell one of them. You bring smiles and fun to everyone around you. People tend to gravitate toward that kind of atmosphere.

That's why I don't think it's so far-fetched that your puns could summon a seal as well.

A-Ah hah hah… Hoo boy, you really know how to make even me blush, huh?

Hey, do you wanna go see the seal after practice today?

Are you sure we can see it?

Well, I don't know for sure… But I have a feeling we might! What if it's not just seals? What if I can summon dolphins and whales, too?! My puns work miracles, right?

Dolphins and whales, huh? That would definitely cause a scene, but knowing you, you could probably do it! So will you really take me along with you?

Yeah, let's mosey! You can sea that seal all you want! You're shore to find it adorable!
