"Wow, what a nice atmospheric place. And listen to these lovely birds singing. It's as if they are welcoming us." |
Yoshino |
"The SSS is now on holiday in the Ooe Mountains of Nishiki. What's that? There is a cave here, no?" |
Yoshino |
"Actually, this place is usually off-limits to the general public. Have heard that the First Shimoamazu-san, the best sorceress in Nishiki, is the guardian of this place." |
Yoshino |
"It seems that the SSSS may have set foot in an extraordinary place." |
Yoshino |
"Now, here's a question. Why exactly were the SSS called to this cave?" |
Yoshino |
"So, please answer the question, fellow contestants. Let's start with her daughter, Shimoamazu the second, who has preserved her 'Super Yoshino-chan Doll' up to this point." |
Shimoamazu |
"......Pass." |
Yoshino |
"Ooooh- here comes the pass. For the first time, Shimoamazu the First's apprentice, Maki has a big chance. Now, please answer the question." |
Maki |
"............" |
Maki |
"It's difficult." |
Yoshino |
"Do you want to use the 'Super Yoshino-chan doll'?" |
Maki |
"Cannot comprehend. It doesn't make sense." |
Shimoamazu |
"Yoshino, you should leave it at that, Maki is really confused." |
Yoshino |
"Sorry Maki, Yoshino's, been a while since coming here and is so excited. Even had a quiz competition." |
Shimoamazu |
"If you like this place that much, I think my haha would be happy too." |
Shimoamazu |
"So Maki, what exactly do you think we're doing by inviting us here?" |
Maki |
"Shi-chan, glad you asked. Maki, will explain it to you now. With this scroll." |
Shimoamazu |
"It is Shimoamazu the First's special scroll...!" |
Yoshino |
"What is a tokyu? Is it a higher grade than a tekkamaki?" |
Shimoamazu |
"It's not just above, it's the highest grade. The Shimoama-Scroll is exclusive to Shimoamazu the First. It is used to warn of an emergency." |
Yoshino |
"So Mt. Ooe is now in an emergency?" |
Shimoamazu |
"No way. If there was a real crisis, my shishou and haha, and of course we would all be aware of it. Besides, there are plenty of ways to communicate the situation faster than a scroll." |
Shimoamazu |
"Good grief, I wonder what on earth she's thinking..." |
Shimoamazu |
"Maki, please continue." |
Maki |
"Will continue." |
Maki |
"Thank you for coming a long way. Mt. Ooe Tourist Association has a request. To revive Shimoamazu no Iwato tour. We would like you to help." |
Yoshino |
"Recalled that the Shimoamazu no Iwato tour is an event where people can visit this cave only during the holiday season." |
Shimoamazu |
"Yes. We used to do it every year until a while ago, but ever since Shishou and us of the Ooe Big Four joined the SSS, we couldn't do it anymore, so we stopped." |
Maki |
"This time, a new course is born. Experience before the event. Point out the problems. Improve of the course. Careful preparation. Delight the tourists!" |
Shimoamazu |
"So you've created a new course to revive the tour and you want us to experience it." |
Shimoamazu |
"Why don't you just tell that to me, your daughter, directly?" |
Maki |
"It is the deshi's job to pass on shishou's words. That's why even Shi-chan can't give in." |
Shimoamazu |
"You haven't seen my haha for a long time since you joined the SSS, Maki. I understand, I won't take your job, so don't worry." |
Maki |
"Thank you Shi-chan. Maki, will finish my job of conveying my master's words." |
Shimoamazu |
"Oh, so there's more to come. I'll be counting on you then." |
Maki |
"To continued. Maki will read more. Let's see..." |
Maki |
"......" |
Maki |
"Continued, there wasn't one." |
Maki |
"That's all. Maki's work is done. Done it with flying colours." |
Shimoamazu |
"Thank you for your hard work, Maki." |
Shimoamazu |
"So, she wants us to preview the new Iwato Tour route. I wonder if Conductor-san and Yoshino would like to help." |
Yoshino |
"Of course, Yoshino loves your Haha Amazu." |
Conductor |
No problem here either. I also wanted to take a closer look at Shimoamazu the First's Iwato, which is said to be the best in Nishiki. |
Shimoamazu |
"Thank you, both of you." |
Maki |
"It's been a long time, shishou. We can meet. Exchange of straw dolls." |
Maki |
"♪" |
Shimoamazu |
"Let's go then, Maki seems to be itching to meet my haha as soon as possible." |
Yoshino |
"Oooh-, can tell she's itching to meet her, even though she's hiding her face, and this would be missed if it wasn't Yoshino." |
Maki |
