永遠の優勝 1-4N

[Shopping district]

Sum: I understand that we split into several groups to carry this out, but why did we come to the shopping district?

Fuu(Sp): Because we have zero clues on the enemy. And the basics of intelligence gathering is asking people around.

Son: Ooh! Investigation is something you do with your legs, rookie! Something like that?

Gin: Awesome, it's like a police drama! Ah, but... Would ordinary citizens even know about the enemy?

Mei: You can't decide what info is important until you've actually gathered it. You can't cook without ingredients, right?

Sum: I understand what you mean, but I have no idea what we could even ask complete strangers aboutt.

Fuu(Sp): Leave that to us professionals. You're elementary schoolers, so...

Gin: I'm Minowa Gin!

Sum: Washio Sumi.

Son: Nogi Sonoko (small).

Mei: Small? That reminds me, there were girls with the same face, but a different size. Are you three sisters?

Son: Uh... Yeah, it's kind of like that. Three Nogi sisters.

Mei: So eldest, middle and youngest. Got it! There was someone similar to Sumi-kun too. Your older sister?

Sum: Eh!? Ah... You mean Tougou-san. My sister, is she... Well, uh... She is.

Fuu(Sp): Ah, the surname... Master, let's not dig any deeper. Anyway, let's try this store.

Mei: The produce market. Yeah, let's go in. You three wait here.

Greengrocer: Hey, welcome, welcome, welcome!

Mei: These vegetables look delicious! There weren't any nice shops like this at the place I moved from, so I'm really glad!

Greengrocer: Is that so? I'll give you a treat then! What a cute girl. Is that your little sister?

Fuu(Sp): Yeah. My sister doesn't like carrots, she's such a handful. Do you know any good ways to cook them?

Greengrocer: Of course I do! I'll tell you, so come to my store often. This here's the best produce market in the city!

Fuu(Sp): Onee-chan, we're lucky! We found the best produce market in the coty.

Mei: Speaking of the city, I just heard from the butcher over there that some strange things have been happening lately. Is that true?

Fuu(Sp): Strange things? I wonder. Hey, Mrs. Yamada! What do you think?

Yamada-san: They probably mean that. You know, the one that came yesterday!

Greengrocer: Ah! That! Those odd men asking about vegetable vendors and distributors?

Mei: Eh? What's the point of asking about that? Were they promoters?

Greengrocer: I thought so too. But I told them we only do business with White Swan Farm.

Fuu(Sp): White Swan Farm?

Son: My! White Swan, they say. Missus, did you hear that?

Gin: Yeah, yeah. I heard that, sure I did... Come on, Sumi!

Sum: Eh... M-Me too!? Uh... You mean the Farming King's fields, right?

Fuu/Mei: Eh?

Yamada-san: My, I'm surprised you knew. The Farming King's vegetables really are good, aren't they?

Gin/Sum/Son: That they are!

Mei: T-Thank you very much!

Gin: Mei-san, Fuu-san, you were awesome! I can't belive you can speak so freely to someone you've never met before!

Fuu(Sp): No, you girls barged in like nobody's business too! Jeez, I wanted to dig a little deeper...

Sum: S-Sorry...

Son: My bad, I felt like trying my hand at playing housewives...

Mei: P-Playing housewives? Well, fine. Let's check a few other places like this.

Gin/Sum/Son: Okay!
