A Strange Twist of Fate
Kokona
Wow...! Look, Shizuka-chan! It's the sea, the sea!
Shizuka
Hey, Kokona, you're getting overexcited. You've seen plenty of seas before, haven't you?
Kokona
That's true, but when I actually saw the sea, it felt like I'd really come on a trip...
Kokona
I'm so glad Chika-chan recommended Uchiura. I really got to see some amazing scenery.
Shizuka
We've only just gotten here, so don't act like you're satisfied already. We're staying overnight, so we need to have more fun.
Kokona
Hehe, you're right. Let's have so much fun that Kathrina-chan and Panda-chan will be jealous!
Shizuka
Chika-chan is coming to pick us up at the bus stop and take us to the inn, right? It looks like she hasn't arrived yet though...
Chika
Hey!
Kokona
Ah, that voice!
Riko
Wait, Chika-chan, it's dangerous to run...!
Chika
Kokona-chan, Shizuka-chan! I've been waiting for you!
Kokona
Chika-chan, and even Riko-chan! Thanks for picking us up!
Riko
I'm glad you made it here safely.
Shizuka
How is it? Have you seen the Uchiura sea yet?
Shizuka
Yeah, we were just talking about how beautiful it is.
Shizuka
Come to think of it, why are you here too, Riko-chan?
Riko
I heard from Chika-chan that you two were coming today, so we thought we'd go together. We live next door to each other.
Kokona
What!? You live next door to each other!? That's amazing!
Chika
Yeah! We often chat on the balcony at night.
Chika
Then let's go to the inn!
Chika
Ta-da! This is our home and inn, Tochiman!
Kokona
Oh! Amazing!
Kokona
Well, should we go in?
Shizuka
Are you saying you're visiting an inn?
Chika
Please come inside.
Riko
Isn't that different from the others...?
Chika
Let's not worry about the small details! Now, please come in, both of you!
Kokona
Hello, we have a reservation for the Ootori room. Wait, what...!?
Koyomi
Oh?
Iroha
What!?
Shizuka
Koyomi-san and Iroha-chan!?
Hatsumi
Oh, this is quite unusual.
Kokona
And even Renjakuno-san!?
