Track 1
Angel Eye
Thank you so, so much! I can survive another year, all thanks to you…...*sniffles*
Alright, alright. Lift your head and wipe those tears. It is about time we see you off.
May Oshisha-sama’s guidance be with you.
Phew…
That is all for today’s reservations, Master. Thank you for your hard work.
Master, are you feeling alright? Your countenance is as lovely as ever, but you seem a bit pale.
Huh?
Indeed…! We’ve had nonstop reservations since the New Year holidays ended. Of course you’d be exhausted…!
I-I’m fine! Don’t worry about me.
It’s true I’ve been busy… but if my fortune-telling can save someone, then it’s all worth it.
Oh, as expected of our master… How benevolent!
And besides, I can’t afford to get sick… Someone at the dorm planned a movie night tomorrow, after all…
The one who organized it is a super energetic kid, and he always tells me about all kinds of movies!
We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the life at the dorms.
Yes. It’s lively and fun every day– Oh, Yukikaze-san said we’re having hamburger steak for dinner tonight.
Apparently, a business partner prepared a ‘special treat’ for everyone at HAMA Tours..… Fufu.
A special treat…! That does sound exciting!
Then shall we drive you so you’ll make it in time for dinner?
Ah, it’s okay! I have…a meeting on the way today.
I-Is that so! Understood…
If you ever need a ride, just say the word! With our gold licences1, we’ll get you to your destination safely and securely!
Fufu, thank you! I’ll be sure to ask if I need help again!
Please take care on your way home. I’m sure this goes without saying to you, Master, but…
At this time of the year, the boundary between this world and that world grows thin.
……Yes.
Please stay vigilant.
Street
Oh, oh, go, go, Altantic Ocean~♪ The hero’s name is Bluefin Tuna~♪
(Man~ Can’t believe the limited ‘Tuna Shishamo Flavor’ is back in the house! An electrifying comeback! Glad I snagged some. You just can’t have a movie night without some fire popcorn.)
(The supermarket that sells it is preeetty far, so I’ll probably get back a l’il late…)
Oh ho? If I go this way, it might be a shortcut… A’ight, shortcut we go!
Bamboo Grove
Woahhhh, this bamboo grove has a vibe that’d totally suit a sword-fighting2 period drama! Can’t believe a place like this exists.
Mmm… So HAMA’s still got plenty of filming spots I don’t know about yet….. Huh?
YOOOOOOO, THAT’S A HUUUGE ROCK…!
Uhh, this kinda thing is called an ‘Iwakura3,’ right?
(It’s that thing Kiroku and the others told me about when we watched ‘Village of 180,000 Graves’! A sacred rock where gods are said to dwell, or something…)
Meow…
Meow?
Meow…..
KITTY ON THE IWAKURA!!
Did you get stuck up there or something? Stuff happens, right~? One time, I was speeding on my bike, and I ended up on a mountain I didn’t even kno–
Caw, caw…!
It’s not the time to be tellin’ stories! The mother cat’s nowhere to be seen, and that crow’s glaring at me!
Animal rescue, moving out! Hang on! I’m coming to save you!
Meow….
Don’t be scared, don’t be scared… Stay still—
Wha–!?
“――――――――”
Huh…..?
Meow!!
Ah…!
*black mist disappears*
Wha… What the heck was that?!
(That kitten disappeared somewhere though…)
What was that black mist-like thing just now…?
Are my eyes playing tricks on me? No wayyyy, I just had my vision checked and got a perfect 20/20! They complimented me, and said my eyeballs are in great shape too!
Did I just find myself a scoop!? I can see it, the headline would be… ‘Seen by The Galactic Film Director! The Black Mist Flying out from HAMA’s Bamboo Grove!’
In that case, I gotta chase it right now–
Crap….. Totally forgot.
I definitely can’t just leave it like this. ‘If you use it, then put it back! If you cut it, then tie it up! If you fight, then make up!’ Those are the iron rules I learned in Oden-gumi!
SO! I can’t forget this Shimenawa– But it’s almost dinnertime, and we’re having Yukikaze-san’s dynamite hamburger tonight…!
I’ll just take it back with me for now! I’ll patch it up like brand new and bring it right back where it belongs…..
Akuta Isotake, reporting back!!
But I had no idea…..
That this choice would cause something like this–
