Chisa
Alright, let's go, Tsubomi. We're setting off on an adventure to find the tsuchinoko!

Tsubomi
A-Ah, yeah...

Chisa
? What's wrong? Are you tired...?

Tsubomi
No, actually I had a bit of a strange dream...

Chisa
A dream? What kind of dream? Could it be...a prophetic dream about catching a tsuchinoko!?

Tsubomi
Hmm...unfortunately, it wasn't anything like that...sorry, don't worry about it. Let's go.

Tsubomi
Haah...haah...this is quite a rugged mountain...there are many large jagged rocks too, making it hard to walk...

Chisa
Hmm, maybe under these kinds of rocks? Huh? Not here...

Tsubomi
Oi, Sasuga, you seem to be searching randomly, but do you have any idea where the Phantom Snake might be...!?

Chisa
Well, hold on. Our opponent is that tsuchinoko...you know. If it were that easy to find, we wouldn't be struggling.

Tsubomi
In other words, you have no leads whatsoever...!? Damn...this is just a waste of effort...haah, haah...

Chisa
Hey, where do you think snakes usually are? Maybe unexpectedly in trees?

Tsubomi
Y-You're lacking information from the very start...haah, haah...as far as I know, they apparently live at the base of trees and such.

Chisa
Oh, I see. As expected of you, Tsubomi. Alright, tree roots...tree roots...

Chisa
...Ah!! The dowsing rod is reacting!!! Could this be...

Tsubomi
What!? The Phantom Snake...!?

Chisa
Probably. ...Alright, it's that way!!

Tsubomi
O-Oi! Wait, Sasuga...! Hey...!!!

Chisa
T...this is...!

Tsubomi
Haah...haah...finally caught up...what's the matter, suddenly running off like that...

Chisa
Look at this, Tsubomi. It's an old shrine that enshrines snakes.

Chisa
This statue of a snake with a thick body...doesn't it kind of look like a tsuchinoko?

Tsubomi
Now that you mention it, I suppose it does...no, more importantly, is there any danger? It's safe, right!?

Tsubomi
(Like in that dream, it's not suddenly going to breathe fire...)

Chisa
It's fine, it's just a stone statue.

Chisa
But...I never knew there was a shrine like this in a place like this...

Chisa
Mm...the air here is delicious. Plus it's quiet all around, it's calming. A nice place.

Tsubomi
Indeed, it is...but this is strange. This shrine doesn't have a name on it?

Chisa
Ah, you're right. I wonder what shrine this is? Let me look it up...huh? There's no signal here, unfortunate.

Tsubomi
...Mm, same here. So there's no way to look it up right now.

Chisa
Hey, since we came all this way. Let's pray while we're here.

Tsubomi
Oh, right.

Chisa and Tsubomi
...

Chisa
Now that we've made a tsuchinoko prayer, maybe we'll find it next time we come.

Tsubomi
You still plan to search...

Old Man
Hey there, Sasuga-chan. Catch anything?

Chisa
Old man. Look at this, another big haul today.

Old Man
Wow, amazing as always.

Chisa
Ah, speaking of which...I went to that mountain the other day to search for the tsuchinoko. And you know what, I found a great place.

Old Man
A great place?

Chisa
Yeah, I found a shrine that enshrines snakes. I never knew there was a shrine in a place like that...

Old Man
Huh...there shouldn't be any shrine in that green space though...

Chisa
Eh?
