Let's All Go Together!

Nikako
So anyway, Da-chan's trying to overcome her fear of animals for her field trip!

Shigure
Ehhh~? Daikoku-senpai, you're bad with animals? Seems like you've got a lot of weaknesses, must be tough?

Iruru
Now now, don't poke at her too much. Trying hard to overcome your weaknesses is a good thing, isn't it!

Hatsumi
Yeah, it's easy to avoid things you're not good at. But that attitude of taking on the challenge...I think that's wonderful, Daikoku.

Daikoku
M-My Lord...those words are too kind for me......

Daikoku
(Even my Lord is praising me...there's no way I can say the truth is I just want to show up Panda. Words that should make me happy are painful......)

Shigure
W-What's with...this atmosphere. It's not like Shigure-I was just curious since there's no one around me who's bad with animals!

Daikoku
Right, the people around you are blessed. People like that weren't rare around me.

Daikoku
Just thinking back on it makes me angry, that raccoon. It ravaged my acquaintance's rice field, and on top of that it threatened me...!

Nikako
Da-chan, you said you lived in the Tohoku region for a while, right? So that happened back then.

Daikoku
Yeah. Ever since then, I've been no good with animals. The farming families in the neighborhood were troubled by raccoons too.

Daikoku
So people like me weren't unusual. ...So then, why did you invite Nikkachi to the zoo?

Shigure
We got this annoying homework assignment where we have to actually see and observe animals. Shigure's going for studying purposes!

Shigure
Nikako-senpai seems knowledgeable about nature and animals. She's the perfect choice, right?

Daikoku
Wha-I'm not going just to have fun either!

Iruru
I think it'd be totally fine to go to the zoo just to have fun though.

Nikako
Sorry, Da-chan. I'd already made plans with Shigure-chan first, so I couldn't answer you right away......

Daikoku
Nikkachi...No, don't worry about it.

Iruru
But this timing actually worked out pretty well, huh. I don't have plans on Sunday either, and Nikako was planning to go with Shigure anyway, right?

Iruru
So why don't we all just go together.

Daikoku and Shigure
Huh......

Nikako
That's a great idea, Irurun! When Da-chan invited me, I was thinking about asking Shigure-chan too!

Hatsumi
In that case, I'll come along too. Sunday happens to be a day I don't have plans.

Shigure
W-Why are you all deciding this on your own! There's no way I want to be with Daikoku-senpai even on my day off!

Daikoku
I wouldn't want that either!

Iruru
But you both need to go to the zoo before next week, right? Daikoku for her field trip, and Shigure for homework.

Daikoku and Shigure
Ugh......

Hatsumi
If we all observe the animals together, we might pick up something we can use in our acting.

Shigure
Ughhh...don't drag me down just because you're bad with them! Daikoku-senpai!!!

Daikoku
You're the one who better not irritate me by running your mouth! I've heard that animals sense that kind of thing and run away!

Hatsumi
Then it's settled!

Daikoku
My Lord, I may show you something embarrassing on the day, but I look forward to it...!

Hatsumi
There's nothing embarrassing about the attitude of trying to overcome something. Let's do our best together, Daikoku.

Daikoku
M-My Lord...! Your gracious words fill me with the utmost joy!

Shigure
Haah, as always your attitude's completely different with Shigure...how is it okay to change your attitude depending on the person?

Iruru
It's what you call...a maiden's heart.
