"It's almost nightfall. The crows will be cawing so let's head back." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"We're almost to the town. Let's eat when we get there. I'm so tired from walking so much." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Would have been nice if Yuuzen onee-san recommended us some good restaurants." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Pick whatever's the closest one to us. I don't care, as long as there's something to eat." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"No go!" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Woahhhh!?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Ooooh- Yakutsk hugging hard again!" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Huh? N-no, it's not what it looks like! I just tripped..." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"You can't be like this, Miss Yakutsk! Don't miss this opportunity!" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"S-Sorry?" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Where do you think we are! This is Nishiki! Birthplace of sushi and tempura! And you have the nerve to say it doesn't matter where we go? I will not tolerate this as the deputy!" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"...Huh?" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"I have the important task of bringing Nishikese culture back for research and study. We have to choose where we eat with great care and diligence!" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"...and so, here's the guide for all the best gourmet spots in Nishiki♪ My strengths are naturally prep work and rote memorization! Let us visit them all in the order I put down." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Who... is this girl?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"You mean Paddington? She's one of the most famous Divine Children at St. Iris. She has four older sisters and..." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"You don't bloody say! I know all that already!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Paddington had been talking about food this whole time after all. She did a great job with that list." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Visit all of them in order, just how many are on that list..." |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nishikese Girl |
"Ummm, I wonder if the rumours are really true after all..." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Huh? What is that girl doing here? Looks like she's searching for something in the grass, maybe she dropped something?" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"She's just a kid. She's almost Yoshino's size." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Chotto chotto. Yoshino is not a kid, is a full grown woman." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"I'll, be calling out to her." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Oi, you over there~!" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"What're you doing here? It's already getting dark, so shouldn't you be heading home soon? How close is your home? Can you make it home alone?" |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nishikese Girl |
"My house is right over there, I'm fine. I'll be home before nightfall." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"You seem to be searching for something, did you lost anything?" |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nishikese Girl |
"Eeeh, I was... looking for my kazari." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Kazari?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Likely, she's talking about an obi-kazari. It's a decoration that's attached to the obi belt on kimonos." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Oooh, leave it to seamstress Yoshino." |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nishikese Girl |
"You're a seamstress?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"That's true, Yoshino is a seamstress at Somei-Ya. Can make kimonos, kazari, you name it." |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nishikese Girl |
"Wow, really? You're just like me! I'm a seamstress apprentice too!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Ooooh- a seamstress, apprentice-san..." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"......" |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"My name is Nana. Nice to meet you, Yoshino-san." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yeah, nice to meet you. We should get along well as fellow seamstresses. It's always good to exchange information with your peers after all." |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"I'm still an apprentice. My shishou is always yelling at me angrily, and I'm frustrated that I'm not any better at sewing." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Losing your obi-kazari is much worse than your sewing skills. Valuable kazari can be sold for very high prices." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Huh, how much can you see it for?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"The most expensive ones are enough to build a whole house." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"A HOUSE!?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Ooooh- course-" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"A decor enough to have a house built... Nishiki culture sure is something." |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"The kazari I'm looking for is not that valuable." |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"Actually, the ornament I'm looking for is something I lost a long time ago. It was so many years ago that... I probably won't find it again." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Couldn't find it, but you were looking for it??" |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"Actually, I heard weird rumours." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"By weird rumours, do you mean..." |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"It is said that inside the Mist, 'Things of value will appear to those who desire and look for it'. I just heard about it this morning." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Sounds like the rumour about the 'treasure hunt'!" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Hey you, who told you that? A friend at school? Or from your mommy and daddy?" |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"I heard it from a lady that sells dolls. She had lots of old dolls." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"A lady that sells dolls, why that could be!" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"This is all pretty dodgy. I think we should question her ourselves on this. She said she was going back to the town, we could catch her in time if we hurry?" |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"I don't think she went towards the town though? She went through this torii there and up the mountain behind the shrine." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"By mountain, you mean that one?" |
---- |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Wow, it looks like she's going to be there..." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"She could be, but normally people don't go there like that. Nobody goes up the mountain this late at night. If you're a local, you'll know the mountains are too dangerous." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Sure sounds fishy..." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"We should go too. We're going after that woman." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"But, you know it's almost night? Will we be able to get back before it gets dark?" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"If it's only that high up, we can make a dash after her. Wouldn't you agree, Conductor?" |
Conductor |
If we climb quickly, we can make it. Prioritize on speed. Climb up and down in one go. However, don't get too carried away. Don't take any paths you might get lost on." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Alrighty! Let's get going then! If there's nothing wrong, then everything's fine! That's what I'm talking about!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Right then, Yoshino and friends are heading out. So, Nana should go home." |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"But the Mist shows up on that mountain sometimes, so it's not really safe..." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"It's fine. Yoshino might be a seamstress, but is also a soldier in the Allied Forces. And friends are really strong too. We won't be defeated by any Mist Monsters, hetchara hetchara." |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"Allied Forces? What is that? Is it different from the Nishiki Army?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"They're the allies of justice that fight back the Phantom Mist. Soldiers from all over the world are fighting for Nishiki." |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"Allies of justice..." |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"Uhm, then it's a relief!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Well, we'll talk again later." |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"Ah, wait a second, Yoshino-san!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"?" |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"What if, what if you? If you happen to find my kazari with a bell on it up there, could you bring it back to me?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"But you lost it a long time ago, didn't you?" |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"Yeah... that's the thing, though..." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Alright. A kazari with a bell on it. Leave it to Yoshino." |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"Yoshino-san..." |
![Story Nana.png](/images/7/7d/Story_Nana.png) Nana |
"Thank you. Please, do be careful." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Come on, Yoshino! We're leaving!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Ooooh-, coming." |
Dusk is approaching the outskirts of Nshiki.
The Special Steel Squad followed the suspicious doll seller Yuuzen and ran up the mountain behind an empty shrine. |
