"We are finally able to go above ground." |
Miyako stretched herself, feeling liberated on the surface for the first time in a long time. |
We came back here from the buried treasures, but the reason why we were doing this excavation work was because Karasuma had heard rumours of a treasure, called Shining Marbles in a nearby village. |
Karasuma is a sucker for shiny things. She can't help but move her body reflexively when she sees something that's glittering. |
There was no way she could keep herself quiet when she heard about the Shining Marbles. She forcefully invited Miyako, Kumamoto and I to go and dig them up. |
And, quite by coincidence, there was also a legend of buried treasure from a shogun in ancient times that's left behind here. Though, Karasuma had no knowledge of such a thing, and had unearthed buried gold where she tried to unearth the marbles. |

"My doll got dirty too. I'll have to wash her properly later." |
![Story Kumamoto.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Kumamoto.png) Kumamoto |
"Miyako-san, if you crawl up, it will get even dirtier, so please hold Kuma's hand. Will pull you up... Se-no!" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Thank you very much, Kumamoto-san." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"It's a disaster for both of us. Let's go to an onsen later to relax from the fatigue of the mission and excavation." |
![Story Kumamoto.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Kumamoto.png) Kumamoto |
"Yes. Even Kuma's tired today. Would like to spend the remainder of the day in an onsen." |
![Story Kumamoto.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Kumamoto.png) Kumamoto |
"That Miyako-san invited Kuma to an onsen...!?" |
![Story Kumamoto.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Kumamoto.png) Kumamoto |
"Calm down, Kuma. This is not an auditory hallucination. Kuma was indeed invited by Miyako-san!" |
![Story Kumamoto.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Kumamoto.png) Kumamoto |
"Aaaah, it's a miracle that we can talk normally, but to have a future together in an onsen. It's an honour beyond Kuma's means, Kuma is, Kuma is..." |
![Story Kumamoto.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Kumamoto.png) Kumamoto |
"So happy~~!" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Kumamoto-san has such a personality huh..." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"And it's a miracle just to talk to her? I've been talking to her since the excavation. I don't really understand her." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Come on Karasuma, let's go after Kumamoto-san as soon as possible. We have to go back to the inn." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"...Karasuma?" |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"Sign... my Shining Marbles. ......" |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"I though I was definitely going to get'em. I should have been able to find'em perfectly with my crow beastkin intuitions. So why am I left with a raggedy piece of paper?" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"It can't be helped that we couldn't find what we wanted. Don't keep mumbling and grumbling about it, you need to switch things up." |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"Meh, you should have at least comforted me for even a little, Miyako! Poor me, who didn't get the treasure I thought I would definitely find!" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"After being forced to dig upon Karasuma's supposed date, I feel like Kumamoto-san and I are the ones who should be comforted." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Ah, I found a marble buried here. I think this is of of those Shining Marbles. Here, I'll give it to you. Congratulations, you've achieved your goal." |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"For real!? Hurray Miyako, amazing♪" |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"Wha, Miyako ya just pulled a marble out of yer pocket and pretended to find it though!?" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Yoshino-chan taught me that. She said that one can save people's hearts with white lies." |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"Whazzat? Whazzat whazzat whazzat!? Isn't it way less terrible and better to have been deceived!?" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"If you don't want it, can I have it back?" |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"W-well I'll take this marble gratefully." |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"Wait no, you should have been comforting me, Miyako! Nyeh, nyeh nyeh!" |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"Why aren't you comforting me? Nyeh why? Miyako and I aren't on good terms, so in times like this, I think a friend is one who treats me kindly. Nyeh, comfort me, comfort me pweease~~" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Karasuma, don't make so much noise near me." |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"I'm so sorry! Seiza! Look, I'm seiza-ing! I'm seiza-ing seiza-ing! Sign of remorse!" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"...Sigh. It can't be helped." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Look, as we're not able finding any treasure, I'll stop by the souvenir shop with you instead. Let's find some beautiful marbles together and buy them for you as a souvenir, shall we?" |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"Really!?" |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"That's Miyako, I love ye so much♪ It's a promise!? Really, really really going to buy some marbles together with me!?" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"I know already." |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"Yosh, I'm feeling better now. Then let's continue our search for the Shining Marbles and do our best!" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Karasuma, your voice is too loud. You're too energetic." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"I invited you, Karasuma, to go buy marbles with the intention of comforting you about your disappointment at not finding any treasure." |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"Mhm mhm, thank you for being so kind Miyako. But you know what?" |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"That's that, this's this! When me's happy, me's happy! CAAAW!" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"........." |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"Oh, uh, hey, Miyako, why do you look so terrifying?" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Why don't you think for yourself a little bit about why I'm making this face, Karasumaaa--" |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"Hey, stop you can't use SORCERRYYYY-!!" |
![Story Kumamoto.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Kumamoto.png) Kumamoto |
"It-it, it's something biiiig~~!" |
![Story Kumamoto.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Kumamoto.png) Kumamoto |
"There's information on where the Shining Marbles might beeee~~!" |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"For real? You're the girl, Kumamoto, I believed in ye!" |
![Story Kumamoto.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Kumamoto.png) Kumamoto |
"Was looking for an onsen and happened to overhear the children talking about it. Quite lucky." |
![Story Kumamoto.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Kumamoto.png) Kumamoto |
"And Miyako-san, there's a nice day spa found for you. Please have a good rest afterwards!" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Thank you very much, Kumamoto-san. But it seems that the onsen you took the trouble to find for me has gone to waste." |
![Story Kumamoto.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Kumamoto.png) Kumamoto |
"That's not true. Even if we go down the mountain now, we'll still make it in plenty of time." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Please look over there." |
![Story Kumamoto.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Kumamoto.png) Kumamoto |
"Over there...?" |
Kumamoto stared blankly at where Miyako pointed. There, she sees a figure of Karasuma pointing a finger at her, her eyes sparkling. |
![Story Karasuma.png](/images/0/03/Story_Karasuma.png) Karasuma |
"Now that we've got leading information, it looks like we've already found the Shining Marbles! Now, let's get going right away, everybody!" |
![Story Kumamoto.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Kumamoto.png) Kumamoto |
"...Ah." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Karasuma is going to run ahead on her own. I guess we'll just have to follow her." |
![Story Kumamoto.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Kumamoto.png) Kumamoto |
"T-that's riiight~!" |
