Daikoku: (It's my day off today, but...I don't have anything particular to do. What should I do...)

Daikoku: (First, let me check Panda's SNS...oh? I got an email. I wonder who it's from...)

Daikoku: (The subject line is "About This Month's Fortune"...it's from Tsubomi-san...!)

Daikoku: Let's see...

Daikoku: ("This month's lucky item is a four-legged guardian deity!" "If you don't forget this, you will be blessed with good fortune"...)

Daikoku: (Four-legged guardian deity...what could that be? Since it's four-legged, it doesn't seem to be a humanoid god...)

Daikoku: (Ah, another email from Tsubomi-san. The next content is...)

Daikoku: ("To supplement, for example, like Shisa or Sphinx, guardian spirits"...!)

Daikoku: (Shisa or Sphinx...I understand even less. Where on earth would I find godly items like that...!?)

Daikoku: ...!?

Daikoku: (This time it's a phone call...I wonder who it is. ! It's Nikkachi...!)

Daikoku: H-Hello...?

Nikako: Ah, Da-chan? Sorry for calling suddenly on your day off! Is it okay to talk on the phone right now?

Daikoku: Yes...it's fine. I wasn't doing anything in particular...I'm f-free...

Nikako: Eh!? Really!? Then this worked out perfectly!

Nikako: Um, this is sudden, but! Do you know about the "Ancient Egypt Exhibition" going on in Ueno?

Daikoku: Ancient Egypt...ah, they've been doing commercials for it a lot lately. What about it?

Nikako: If you don't have any plans, would you like to go with me? Today, now!

Daikoku: Huh...n-now...!? You and me together...?

Nikako: Yeah, that's right, but...was it bad timing after all? Are you busy?

Daikoku: No... it's totally fine...! I was just surprised because it was unexpected...

Nikako: Then I'll send you the time and place in a message after this! I'm looking forward to going out with you! See you later!

Daikoku: Y-Yeah...see you later...I'm looking forward to it too...very much.

Daikoku: ...Phew...

Daikoku: (I was surprised by the sudden invitation, but I didn't have anything particular to do, so it worked out well.)

Daikoku: (She said the "Ancient Egypt Exhibition" in Ueno, but...I wonder which museum it's being held at...)

Daikoku: (She said she'd send a message, but I should look it up just in case...let's see..."An exhibition exploring three thousand years of mysterious history"...)

Daikoku: ("Tons of highlights including a statue of the last queen Cleopatra! Furthermore, that Sphinx statue appears as a keychain in the merchandise corner!")

Daikoku: (! Sphinx keychain...! This must be the lucky item Tsubomi-san was talking about...!)

Daikoku: (Does this mean Tsubomi-san...was predicting this situation...!? She really is too amazing...! That person's power is real...!)

Daikoku: (...This can only be called fate. The "Ancient Egypt Exhibition"...I'm looking forward to it...)

Daikoku: Heh heh...heh heh heh heh heh...!
