Balloon festival - 1

--(1)--

[Hero Club room]

Fuy: What a nice autumnal weather today. Such a clear skies fat horses. (Note: case of Lily using hard Yojijukugo)

Tak: A what?

Hin: It means an autumn where the weather is so nice and the fruit harvest so plentiful that even horses put on weight.

Anz: Or an autumn of clear skies and fat horses.

Tam: Mmh... Basically, the sky is blue, food is good, hooray for autumn! Right?

Yuz: Yes. This word describes perfectly how a nice season feels.

Tak: Look, look! A flock of birds!

Chi: On a day like this, looking down at the city from the city seems like it would feel great.

Wak: I would like to see such a scenery too.

Son: And we might just make this dream come true~!

Gin: Ta-dah! Look at this flier!

Wak: "Flying balloon - Sanuki design contest"? What is this?

Sum: The school received a notice asking for balloon design contributions.

Gin: And if you're chosen, they'll make a balloon with your design idea!

Son: And that's not all~! They'll even let you ride in it during the "Sanuki flower balloon fest"~!

Wak/Tam/Fuy/Yuz: Oooooh!

Wak: Flying in the sky in a balloon of your own design!

Hin: How wonderfully dream-like.

Fuu: We're bored this month anyway with so few request, so let's try our skills at this!

Everyone: Yees!!

Tou: The deadline for designs submissions is one week from now. We will be accepting this challenge.

Uta: I don't plan on losing.

Meb: So we're all rivals here.

Sek: Alright, until the deadline, everyone is free to draw what they want individually wherever they want, right?

Wak: Yes. I will show you my inevitable victory!

--(2)--

[The day before the deadline]

Wak: Uum...

Hin: Wakaba-chan, what's wrong? Why the long face?

Wak: I can't find any designs ideas.

Hin: Oh my. But everyone is already entering the finishing touches stages.

Wak: Because in looking for originality to secure the victory, I ended up not finding anything.

Wak: Why don't you go see how the others are doing to take your mind off this?

Hin: Maybe different stimulation could even give you new ideas.

Wak: You're right. Let's go.

[Hero Club room]

Son: Ta-dah~! A Sancho balloon to fly in the sky!

SON: Ooh~! So dreamy~. And this is mine~!

SON: Ta-dah~! A blue sky balloon! It blends into the background so you can't see it, what do you think~?

Son: Original~!

SON: I drew a lot, but I like them all and can't pick one~.

Son: That's true~. Ah!! I just had a good idea~!

Son: Why don't we submit all of them~!? I didn't see a submission limit!

SON: As expected of Sonocchi! What a schemer~.

[Hallway]

Wak: They are worthy challengers on the quality and quantity front, as expected of them.

Hin: They aren't the only rivals, you know? To the library.

[Library]

Sum: Tougou-san, I have finally found this document!

Tou: T-These are the imperial army's balloon regiment design plans!

Sum: In conjunction with this design faithfully replicating the photos, if we attach these blueprints...!

Tou: The day the military balloon takes flight is upon us!!

Wak: I think this is missing the point of the event...

Hin: But very characteristic of them.

Kir: Yo, master craftsman Rokku!

Aka: We can't lose with this!

Wak: What a lively set of voices.

[Empty classroom]

Wak: W-What is this!?

Ren: Hmph, Miroku's design plans.

Wak: Design plans? This majestic Japanese painting drawn on a folding screen...!?

Hin: How imposing. Why so many folding screens?

Ren: I have made a special order for this purpose.

Wak: You ordered these huge folding screens!?

Ren: Hmph, yet it is much too small for the full extent of Miroku's abilities.

Kir: Amazed, aintcha? Our master craftsman's the world best!

Aka: Maybe we'll get the impact award!

Wak: You're right, there weren't any size limitations. I didn't consider it...!

Ren: Hmph, be not prisoner of your own preconceptions, allow your soul to roam free. Such is art.

[Hallway]

Wak: Everyone is amazing. Not only are they talented, they are displaying their individually through quantity or size.

Wak: I cannot give up without a fight, but uum... What is something like me...

Hin: So you are still troubled. I would like to help if I could, but.

Wak: No, go back to your own work. Thank you for coming with me.

Hin: Wakaba-chan, where are you going?

Wak: I'm stepping outside for a bit. I would like to think surrounded by nature.

--(3)--

[Beach]

Wak: Uum, I thought staring at the waves would give me inspiration, but...

Fuu: Oh? Isn't it Wakaba?

Kar: Are you here for tea too?

Yum: Please, do join us if you would.

Wak: Fuu-san, Karin-san and Miroku-san. What an unusual trio.

Suz: Here, here, I'm here toochirp!

Yum: Today, we have invited Fuu-san and Karin-san for a tea party.

Wak: How composed. Have you already all submitted your design...?

Suz: Miroku-san and I already did, but we wanted to attend the birth of their masterpiece!

Yum: As I can guess from your art supplies, am I correct in assuming it has yet to descend onto you?

Wak: Descend?

Fuu: Yes, ideas aren't something you squeeze out, it's something you wait for to descend on you, no?

Kar: Exactly, inspiration shines down on you when your soul is relaxed.

Suz: Right, right, isn't it amazing? A famous master's saying you'd never hear a snob like Miroku-san say!

Fuu: Master you say, how good you are at flattery as usual.

Yum: This is no flattery. It is an honor to assist to the birth of such a masterpiece.

Wak: (They have quite a lot expectations, but if I remember correctly, Karin and Fuu-san's artistic skills are...)

Wak: (Ha, stop this. I have no time for worrying about others. I need to focus on myself for now.)

Kar: Wanna come with us, Wakaba? Maybe with a right environment, even you could get a good idea to descend on you.

Wak: I see... Let me join you then.

Suz: C-Cold... Um... Is inspiration-san here yet...

Fuu: What did I say? If you relax elegantly... Achoo!

Wak: Fuu-san, it's cold here, shouldn't you drop the master pretense and go inside?

Suz/Yum: Pretense?

Fuu: W-What are you saying!? It'll descend any time now. Right? Karin.

Kar: Yes, we went this far, don't rush things now.

Fuu: Yes, yes, stay elegant and soon...

Suz: Eek! They descended!!

Wak: When you were talking about inspiration... Did you mean vertexes?

Kar: Of course not. Come on, let's move out!

--(4)--

[Jukai]

Fuu: Haaa, just a little more and an idea would've struck me.

Kar: Getting in our way again, huh.

Fuu: Anyway, let's deal with them quickly!

Wak: Yes, we have no time to waste, let's do this.

Wak: Taaaaah!!

Wak: Mh? Mmmmrgh!!

Nat: What's wrong? Wakaba.

Wak: I think it descended!

Tou: Eh?

Wak: Yes! This can work! I am inspired!!

Kar: Are you talking about your design?

Wak: Yes. I will design my balloon after the jukai.

Wak: This fantastical and extraordinary scenery only the Heroes are allowed to see, it should be impossible for someone to draw the same thing!

Wak: I can see my victory ahead!!

Its: Huh? I'm feeling like this happened before...

Wak: Mh?

Tou: Yes. I could swear this same thing already happened...

Yuu/Fuu/Its: Aah!!

Fuu: That's the time Karin did it and failed!

Tou: Aah! She failed trying to draw the jukai during the sketching tournament...

Kar: H-Hey! Don't dig out unnecessary memories!

Wak: What did you say...! While I wasn't aware, you...

Kar: As your senpai, let me give you this piece of advice, drawing the jukai is hard!

Kar: The photos you take don't remain, so you have no choice but to trust your memories.

Wak: Kuh... I thought it was an original idea, but it was in fact already done...

Wak: Uguguh...

Wak: Wooooh!!!!

Yuu: W-What happened to her!? Wakaba-chan suddenly got serious!

Tou: She is venting her untargeted gloominess and embarrassment on the vertexes.

Kar: Basically, she blew up.

--(5)--

[Beach]

Suz: Brrrr... Um, is it descending any time soon?

Yum: The piping hot black tea has now become ice tea.

Wak: Sorry. I thought I had a flash of inspiration, but... Haa...

Kar: Well, it's no use rushing. You can just draw as soon as it comes.

Fuu: Exactly, don't rush, don't rush. Empty your mind...

Fuu: Sounds like my stomach is pretty empty too.

Hin: Wakaba-cha~n, so this is where you were.

Wak: Hinata. Were you looking for me?

Hin: Yes, I've made udon with those who have already made their submission, would you like some?

Wak: Mh, thank you for proposing, but I still don't have my design...

Fuu: Alright! Let's go!

Kar: Yeah! What's better than hot udon!

Wak: Wait, wait! What about inspiration?

Kar: What's the problem?

Wak: Have you given up?

Fuu: Of course not. I realized it, that's all.

Fuu: My brain works the best when I'm eating udon!

Kar: Exactly! Udon is better than tea! It'll make for the best inspirations.

Suz: Iih, then we just wasted our time!

Yum: Being an artist is about whimsy. Now, let us also eat some of this udon.

Suz: Yeah, waiting for so long made me hungry.

Wak: Hey, not you too!

--(6)--

[Home ec. room]

Kar: Slurp... Pwaah! The hot soup is warming up my cold body from inside.

Yum: Yes, there was a point in waiting in the cold.

Suz: It's not like we were waiting for udon though. But it's delicious! Seconds!

Fuu: Me too, seconds!

Hin: Yes. What about you, Wakaba-chan?

Wak: I would like one, but my brain will work slower if I eat too much, and then my design...

Kar: Talk about serious.

Kar: A real artist needs a free soul!

Fuu: That's right, with a full stomach comes a full mind... Ha!!

Fuu: F-Finally! It descendeeeeeed!!!!

Suz: Eeh!! Now!?

Fuu: I just have to draw the pinnacle of happiness on my balloon!!

Fuu: Assistant! Bring me pen and paper!

Suz: Are you talking about me? Here, a pen and a sketchbook.

Fuu: Scratch scratch...

Gin: Oooh! Fuu-san is drawing at an incredible pace!

Uta: This is what I'd call a real flash of inspiration!

Kar: Me too. Come, inspiration! Appear before me!

Kar: Gulp gulp gulp...

Suz: Hey, why are you praying and drinking udon broth!?

Kar: Ha! I'm seeing it!!

Kar: My theme is a group of sardines swimming in the sea! And on a balloon, these countless fish will fly in the sky!

Nat: If I was a judge, you would win!

Kar: I can't believe it, inspiration was hiding inside the udon broth.

Sek: So the broth's sardines inspired you, huh.

Fuu/Kar: Scratch scratch...

Wak: Kuh, I cannot allow myself to lose! I need a sudden flash of inspiration...!

Wak: Ha!! I know!!

Wak: Scratch scratch...

Wak: It's done! What do you think of this!?

Yuu: Waah, Wakaba-chan! This is so good!

Tak: Yes yes! Udon flying in the sky looks so exciting!

Chi: You see this all the time, how did you not notice it sooner?

Anz: This may be the best idea!

Wak: I can only say, all the drawn out worries were worth it in the end. Fufu. Drawn out.

Hin: Wakaba-chan! Minus points for this dad joke!!

Nat: Speaking only of ideas, I liked yours but... what is this...?

Kar: A-A group of sardines obviously. Anyway, what's Fuu doing!?

Yum: I believe hers is titled "the Hero Club eating udon", however...

Suz: Which part is what...?

Fuu: It's obvious, this is Yuuna, Tougou, Karin, and the small one is Itsuki.

Mas: Ah, they were people...

Yos: My sincere apologies. Due to all the colors, I was thinking it was a flower field...

Wak: Fuu-san's and Karin's artistic abilities are the same as ever.

Hin: In any case, everyone is done now. I can't wait for the results♪
