The Usaoi Matsuri is a strange festival held in Nishiki's Mt. Taiho. |
On this mountain, where the legendary ancient cannon Daichinhou is enshrined, where hares living on the mountain once sent a vicious monster flying to the moon with it, a large group of men start a deadly game of tag to catch two hares. |
The escaping hares were played by Ohana and Izumo no Hakuto. The participants should have been at an overwhelming disadvantage when they were playing against Train Knights, |
but reasons like 'I find them more attractive than young girls' and 'chasing a strong girl is exciting' seemed to have ignited their hare-chasing spirits. |
Those of us who know their abilities and personalities would have decided, without a shadow of a doubt, that we should definitely not chase Ohana. Naturally, we thought that the pursuers would be concentrating on Izumo no Hakuto... |

"Ohana! We'll definitely bring back that stubborn kappogi home! Whoever's the one with the bigger chest can always be caught afterwards!" |

"Owofh! Mama should be taught how to be a princess! After all, bunny ears should always be pricked up!" |
It seems that all the men who are misunderstanding various things are aiming at Ohana. Well, even if a dispute arises, I'm sure Ohana will handle it well. |
What I'm more worried about is our team's second-in-command, Paddington. |

"Hehehe~, I'm doing a lot of work today, aren't I? I guess it's all thanks to this Nisikese famous wine?" |
Paddington is clearly acting strangely. I've seen her drunk on many occasions, but the way she's drunk today is just strange. In the first place, she shouldn't have drunk enough to make her go this bad. |

"Waha! Wahaha-!" |
...This is ridiculous. |
'Hawawa' has become 'Wahaha'. |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Wahaha! It's a great festival, so I have to give them a good show! Isn't there a big Daichinhou right here?♪" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"I'll straddle this part here and rub, rub..." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Wahaha! Sensitivity max and barrel's up!" |
![Story Victoria.png](/images/c/c8/Story_Victoria.png) Victoria |
"Something's wrong with Lady Paddington..." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Is she? I think she's always like that." |
![Story Victoria.png](/images/c/c8/Story_Victoria.png) Victoria |
"No, she's not. Her 'Hawawa' turned 'Wahaha'. It's a slight difference, but as her personal maid of honour, I can tell." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"I see. I didn't notice that part." |
![Story Victoria.png](/images/c/c8/Story_Victoria.png) Victoria |
"Lady Paddington. Why don't you take some time off? The New Year has only just begun. Why don't you cut back on the alcohol and enjoy some Nishikese cooking?" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Wahaha! Don't worry about it Victoria, I'm in full speed ahead mode now! The world is shining in all the colours of the rainbow!" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"I can do anything now! I'm going to make all the women in the world fall in love with me and give them my Paddy Injections!" |
![Story Victoria.png](/images/c/c8/Story_Victoria.png) Victoria |
"Paddy Injection... Can you actually do that?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Of course she can't! And why are you even having an iota of expectation!?" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Wahaha! Divine Child power all the way! Fire to the moon! Dai. Chin..." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"POOOOOOOW-!" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"The Daichinhou!" |
![Story Notting Hill.png](/images/4/41/Story_Notting_Hill.png) Notting Hill |
"It fired!" |
Paddington 'Wahaha'-ed and injected what she called Divine Child power, and the Daichinhou roared and fired 'something'. |
What looked like a glob of white stuff flew away... |
![Story Notting Hill.png](/images/4/41/Story_Notting_Hill.png) Notting Hill |
"Queensway, did you see it?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"I saw it. The Daichinhou fired something akin to a white glob of stuff." |
![Story Lancaster.png](/images/1/1c/Story_Lancaster.png) Lancaster |
"It landed over the next mountain..." |
![Story Lancaster.png](/images/1/1c/Story_Lancaster.png) Lancaster |
"...And at the same time, we have confirmed a Phantom Mist outbreak." |
![Story Victoria.png](/images/c/c8/Story_Victoria.png) Victoria |
"No way..." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"The magic in the Daichinhou... Isn't that what's coming out of Miss Paddington just now?" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Waha, wahaha!" |
Paddington's fired cannon blast echoed across Mt. Taiho. |
It sounded as if an ancient monster had awakened and let out a roar... |
