1: Dance of the Ojou-samas

Mai: Good to see you, Konohana-san.
Suzuka: And you as well, Yanase-san. It's been quite some time since we met at a social gathering.
Mai: That's true. Lately, I've been spending more time on battlefields... Are you here accompanying your father as well, Konohana-san?
Suzuka: Yes, networking is invaluable, after all. Meetings like this allow you to keep up with many people.
Suzuka: And deepening your connections is never a waste.
Suzuka: For the sake of the Konohana family, and more precisely, for my own sake.
Mai: You've always had your act together. Compared to you, I--
Woman: Kyaaaaa--!! L-Look outside; an aradama!!
Suzuka: What was that!?
Mai: What's it doing out here...?
Suzuka: We can think about that later. First, we need to destroy that aradama. Will you help me?
Mai: Yes, of course!
Suzuka: Then, we shouldn't waste time. Let's show this aradama where it's not welcome.

Suzuka: Nicely done. Thankfully, we were able to deal with this before it became a serious incident.
Mai: I ended up on another battlefield, in the end.
Suzuka: You're right, now that you mention it. Perhaps that's the fate of us toji.
Suzuka: But, leaving that aside, you were about to say something strange before we were interrupted, weren't you?
Mai: Something strange? Sorry, I don't really remember?
Suzuka: "You've always had your act together. Compared to you, I--".
Suzuka: Surely you don't mean to imply you haven't been an accomplished person yourself?
Mai: I'm not implying anything; that's just how it is...
Suzuka: That joke isn't as funny as you think.
Suzuka: There aren't many who could repeat the way you handled your okatana just now.
Suzuka: That beautiful swordsmanship could only belong to one who thoroughly dedicated herself to training every day.
Suzuka: Therefore, please have more confidence in yourself. Your worries only weaken your resolve.
Mai: Konohana-san... Thank you very much.
Suzuka: You don't need to thank me.
Suzuka: Now then... The party seems to still be open. I should take my leave.
Suzuka: Farewell, Yanase-san. Until we meet on another battlefield.
Mai: Yes! Until we fight together again.



2: The Ojou-sama is a Commoner

Maki: What are you having for lunch, Suzuka?
Suzuka: As for me, I've prepared this.
Maki: That's... Another convenience store bento? How many days in a row is that?
Suzuka: Unfortunately for you, that's wrong. This isn't a convenience store bento, but rather a bento from the supermarket's deli corner.
Suzuka: And would you look at this, right here! I found it at a 30% discount! Such great value, isn't it?
Maki: The ojou-sama is bragging about bargain bin deals...
Suzuka: I can't overlook that. I've never once thought of myself as an ojou-sama, you know.
Maki: If you aren't one, then what even is an ojou-sama?
Maki: I've heard rumors that, in middle school, you rode in a different luxury car to school every day.
Suzuka: ...? What's so strange about that?
Maki: So it's true!? Why would you change cars every day? And luxury cars too!
Suzuka: I'm sorry? You're the one saying strange things now. You change clothing every day, don't you? Why would cars be any different?
Maki: Of course it's different!! Don't compare cars costing tens of millions of yen to clothes...!
Suzuka: But outfits costing several tens of millions of yen aren't all that uncommon, are they?
Maki: Your sense of money's insane... That reminds me. There's another rumor you were running late one day, so you had a helicopter airlift you to school.
Suzuka: That's a misunderstanding. Even I've never flown in a helicopter to school.
Maki: It figures, that one's just idle gossip...
Suzuka: Yes, a helicopter wouldn't have made it in time. I rode a Harrier instead.
Maki: Isn't that a fighter jet!? I knew it; you're an ojou-sama among ojou-samas.
Suzuka: But I think I'm fairly ordinary, though?
Maki: Do I even want to know your definition of ordinary...?
Maki: Still, I'm surprised you not only go to convenience stores, but supermarkets too. Or do you have someone get these for you?
Suzuka: I'd never have someone do that for me. You must not be aware, Maki-san. Of how wonderful the supermarket is.
Suzuka: The shelves are brimming with an endless variety of foods, and simply browsing through their collection of sweets is a joy.
Suzuka: There's so much to see that I could spend half a day there without losing interest in the slightest.
Suzuka: Ah, I know! If you'd like, will you join me next time? I can guide you around.
Maki: S-Sure...



3: Suzuka's Duties

Suzuka: Excellent work. I'd expect no less from you, Yukari-sama. Even while negotiating with such veteran ministers, you didn't give an inch. It was a valuable learning experience.
Yukari: With this, we should be able to act more freely. Another step toward my ideal.
Yukari: We can begin as soon as this bill takes effect. I'll need you working harder than ever from here.
Suzuka: I'm well aware. I'll gladly do everything I can to make your plans a reality, Yukari-sama.
Man: .........
Suzuka: What are you doing? Clear the way, you're being disrespectful.
Man: ORIGAMIIIII!!
Yukari: Hm, an insurgent?
Suzuka: I won't allow it.
Man: GYAAAHH!!
Suzuka: Don't worry, I merely used the back of the blade. I wouldn't dirty Kujikanesada with the blood of a common rebel, after all.
Suzuka: Honestly, for one as helpless as you to make an attempt on Yukari-sama's life was hopelessly naive.
Suzuka: With an overambitious plan, someone must have put you up to it, didn't they?
Suzuka: Prepare yourself. I'll have you tell me everything.
Man: ....Ghkhg!!
Suzuka: Wha!? What are you doing!?
Man: .........
Suzuka: He's dead... It seems he prepared a suicide capsule in the back of his teeth.
Suzuka: This is inexcusable. To have lost such a valuable witness right from under me... Yukari-sama, I'll accept any punishment you give.
Yukari: There's no need. I have no interest in every insect crawling the ground in my way.
Yukari: As my desires are realized, many more like him will be flushed out. They're not all worth my attention. Leave him where he lies.
Suzuka: ...Understood.
Yukari: Now then, come with me.
Suzuka: Yes! Wherever you go, I will be at your side!



4: The Time we Spent Together

Maki: What's the matter; your attacks are getting softer. Tired already?
Suzuka: Funny, coming from you. Your footwork is already slipping, Maki-san.
Maki: Now you've said it. How about this!?
Suzuka: Kuh...! How much longer can you go on!
Suzuka: Hah--!!
Maki: Oh, that was a good strike. For practice, you're sure coming at me with a lot of passion. Reminds me of when we first met!
Suzuka: And you're taking this awfully casually, to go reminiscing about the past!
Maki: That's not true. I'm barely holding my ground.
Suzuka: (She's always grinning like that. Back then, I hated that smile from the bottom of my heart.)
Suzuka: (Maki-san's okatana, "Usumidori", is of special importance to practitioners of Kurama-Ryu. I was deeply jealous of her.)
Suzuka: ("Usumidori" was much more suited to be mine. I challenged her in the tournament, intending to prove that, but it ended in my defeat.)
Suzuka: (With my pride deeply wounded, my spite for her only grew stronger. I swore I would someday surpass her.)
Suzuka: (I even followed her as far as joining the elite guard.)
Maki: What are you smiling about?
Suzuka: Smiling? I was?
Maki: Yeah. I couldn't believe it myself, but while you were fighting so passionately you had such a gentle smile on your face.
Maki: Seriously, you're the one taking this casually, aren't you?
Suzuka: I was simply reflecting on the past a little, is all.
Maki: The past? I must not be a serious opponent for you, if you can happily walk down memory lane in the middle of a fight.
Suzuka: Isn't that the case for you, Maki-san? You've done nothing but win against me lately. You have to be taking me lightly by now.
Maki: Suzuka, to me you're a close friend I know I can rely on. But at the same time, I see you as my rival.
Maki: Every day I'm trying desperately not to be outdone by you. You never give me a spare moment to take you lightly.
Suzuka: ...!? You're always going on like that... Then, today's the day I overtake you!
Maki: Not going to happen. Even in practice, you're the one person I never want to lose to!
Suzuka: That's what I wanted to say! Regardless of anyone else, I have no intention of giving you an easy victory!
Suzuka: Yah---!!



5: The One at Your Side

Naeba Wakako: Suzuka-sama, isn't it about time we took a rest?
Wakako: The sight of you at work is lovely enough to touch my heart, but without rest your body will start to suffer.
Wakako: If your body were to give out on you... I wouldn't be able to go on living!
Suzuka: You're always so dramatic. But, I do happen to be at a good stopping point. Let's pause here for now.
Wakako: Suzuka-sama, um, here... Try these, if it suits you.
Suzuka: My, what delicious looking tarts. Just look at how the fruits are glistening. Where did you find these?
Wakako: There's a shop I often see featured in magazines; they made them. Actually, these tarts are so famous they regularly sell out the moment the shop opens.
Suzuka: Really? You did well in getting them then.
Wakako: Yes, I was waiting in line since three this morning!
Suzuka: Y-You arrived that early?
Wakako: I worked my hardest to ensure you could eat them, Suzuka-sama!
Suzuka: I appreciate your dedication, but there's no need to go to such unreasonable lengths. It would be a serious issue if you came down ill as a result.
Wakako: Suzuka-sama is worried about me... My heart feels like it could leap from my chest! I think I could live the rest of my life on those words alone!
Suzuka: Fufu, you sure love to exaggerate.
Maki: Sorry to interrupt. Suzuka, I brought orders for you.
Suzuka: Ara, Maki-san, you didn't have to come all this way to deliver them.
Maki: It's a part of the job; don't worry about it. I skimmed over it earlier. Our next mission seems fairly challenging.
Suzuka: Ara, are you losing your nerve? Don't worry, I'll cover your share of the work if you need me.
Maki: Who said anything like that!? I only wanted to warn you it looks difficult! It won't be a problem for me!
Suzuka: Is that so? In any case, you can always depend on me being there to support you.
Maki: That's what I should be saying...
Wakako: ...I'm really not fit to be the one standing at Suzuka-sama's side, am I. She looks so much more splendid together with Maki-sama...
Suzuka: Hm? Were you saying something, Wakako?
Wakako: N-N-No! Pay no attention to me.



[Bride '19: Start]: Undercover Investigation (Suzuka's Case)

Maki: An undercover investigation?
Suzuka: Yes, we will be going undercover.
Suzuka: Another report has come in from that wedding chapel of an aradama stealing a wedding ring.
Maki: Which means, someone will have to dress like a bride to lure the aradama out?
Maki: Should we defeat the aradama there though? Shouldn't we work to get the stolen ring back?
Suzuka: No, we have a ring equipped with a transmitter, so we only need the aradama to steal it.
Maki: I see, that makes sense.
Maki: So you'll be the bride, the aradama will steal the ring, we track where it goes, and this will all be solved.
Suzuka: Eh!?
Maki: Did I get something wrong?
Suzuka: N-No... Only, I'll be the bride? The members from the previous mission have all been gathered...
Maki: Of course, if there's a chance you'll be in danger, I'll be right there to protect you. But wouldn't it be best if we were the ones doing the dangerous work?
Suzuka: Y-You do have a point.
Maki: And besides, instead of someone like me, you'd make a much more convincing bride, Suzuka.
Suzuka: V-Very well then. I'll play the bride to the best of my ability.

Suzuka: There, I've put it on. Hopefully it can convince the aradama I'm a true bride...
Suzuka: (Nonetheless... The design of this wedding dress is exquisite.)
Suzuka: ...Does it suit me, I wonder?
Suzuka: Even though I should be accustomed to wearing dresses... It's strange. I'm feeling slightly nervous.
Suzuka: ...Fu.
Suzuka: Maki-san? ...I've finished changing.
Suzuka: ...Maki-san?
Chapel Staff: Oh, if you're looking for Shidou-san, she said she would patrol the chapel while you get changed.
Suzuka: How typical of her.
Suzuka: It would be a waste to wait for her return, so I'll go on patrol as well.
Chapel Staff: Of course, please do.
Suzuka: ...May I ask you something?
Chapel Staff: What's that?
Suzuka: ...This doesn't look strange on me, does it?
Chapel Staff: No, it's a perfect fit.
Suzuka: Thank you very much... Don't tell anyone I asked that, will you?



[Bride '19: End]: You're Late, You know?

Suzuka: I said I would search for Maki-san, but it's difficult to cover such a large area.
Suzuka: Oh? Over there, that's... Yomi-san, Ban-san. So you two were stationed here.
Yomi: Yes.
Tsugumi: Satsuki-san, shouldn't you say something more? On average, brides enjoy compliments.
Yomi: You look very nice, Konohana-san.
Suzuka: Well, I do appreciate the flattery.
Suzuka: But more importantly, have either of you seen Maki-san around?
Tsugumi: Shidou-san? I haven't seen her.
Yomi: I spoke with her a little about our patrols.
Suzuka: How long ago was that?
Yomi: Only a few minutes ago. She went to look for where security was light.
Suzuka: Light security... Thank you, Yomi-san.

Suzuka: If she went to where there was little security, this should be a likely area...
Kiyoka: Oh, Konohana-sa... Wow, that's so pretty.
Ellen: Hanahana, you look amazing in that wedding dress!
Ellen: I wish I could wear one too!
Suzuka: Fufu, thank you. Have you seen Maki-san around?
Ellen: Makimaki was right here with us until a moment ago. I think she's still nearby!
Kiyoka: Ah! You want Shidou-san to see you in your wedding dress, don't you!
Suzuka: All I want is to perform our mission, which I need to find her for.
Suzuka: ...Musumi-san? We mustn't confuse our private interests with our duties.
Kiyoka: I-I'm sorry.
Suzuka: Please focus your attention on securing the area, will you?

Suzuka: ...Really now, it's all because Musumi-san had to say something strange that I'm somewhat nervous again... Ah.
Maki: ......
Suzuka: ...! M-Maki-san?
Maki: Oh, Suzuka. Looks like you're done getting changed.
Suzuka: Y-Yes.
Maki: There's been no sign of anything here. The spectrum finder hasn't responded either, so it doesn't seem like the aradama is around.
Suzuka: ...
Maki: Suzuka?
Suzuka: Ah, it's nothing... Its target must be the ring after all.
Maki: That's right, we should get it ready now.
Suzuka: Yes.
Suzuka: (Honestly, why did I expect anything more from Maki-san... I feel like a fool for ever getting nervous.)
Maki: Suzuka?
Suzuka: I'll have the ring ready in a moment. The other toji have taken their positions, so we can start...
Maki: No, I didn't mean that... You look good.
Suzuka: Ah... Fufu, I'm glad to hear that, Maki-san.



https://youtu.be/MB7eNdGUsHU
[Valentines Suzuka: Start]: A Similar Pair?

Mirja: As of now, there is only one more confirmed target in the shopping mall. Do you see it on the spectrum finder?
Aradama: ...Ggii.
Suzuka: There it is.
Suzuka: (Rather than giving chase now with the two of us, it would be more effective to form a pincer attack. If these aradama are truly after the chocolate, then it shouldn't run to the other floors, but instead to the food court.)
Suzuka: (There is only one route it can take to there. Our strategy should be for Kitora Mirja to circle around, and--)
Mirja: I'll circle around to the food court! Konohana Suzuka, you drive the aradama forward. As a precaution, I'll contact Kohagura and Tsubakuro as I move.
Suzuka: !
Suzuka: Good, I won't object to that.
Suzuka: Destroying them is most important, however--
Aradama: ...GGGIII-!
Suzuka: It won't make it so easy, will it.
Suzuka: Though, even if you run, I'll guide your every move.

Aradama: GSHAA---!
Mirja: Just as planned. It's coming directly here.
Mirja: However, I won't so lenient as to let such a mindless charge through!
Suzuka: Well done.
Mirja: Bringing it down was nothing. You had the more difficult role of guiding it here.
Suzuka: It might have been on the run, but that aradama would have only gone to where the chocolate is located, so it was hardly a challenge.
Mirja: I see. Though, shouldn't you have been able to bring that aradama down?
Suzuka: There are many things left unconfirmed about these aradama, so I decided to rely on the more certain method of a pincer attack. If you hadn't proposed the idea, I would have.
Suzuka: I realize we are operating in two man teams during this mission, but it's been simple to carry out with how clear each other's intentions are.
Mirja: I felt the same. I can follow on your sensible instructions without hesitation. The elite guard must operate very smoothly.
Suzuka: I never give detailed instructions to the elite guard.
Suzuka: The primary role of the elite guard is to escort Yukari-sama, so when carrying out large scale operations, I and Maki-san will take command of our own units.
Mirja: Now that you mention it, that is certainly true. Hm...
Mirja: While we are on the topic of the elite guard, what sort of person is Shidou Maki? How do you see her?
Suzuka: Eh? W-What do... you mean by that...?
Mirja: I have somewhat of an interest in Shidou Maki myself.
Mirja: I'm not sure if you are aware, but in the tournament the year before last, I was defeated by her.
Mirja: As I see her, she is a straightforward toji with a single-minded strength. Every one of her strikes had great force behind it.
Mirja: However, as someone who is close at her side, I was wondering if you had a different impression.
Suzuka: Is that all you meant. Though, I don't think my impression differs much from yours? There's no hidden side to speak of when it comes to Maki-san.
Suzuka: Well, if I had to name something, she can be quite dense at times.
Mirja: Is that so? She doesn't at all give that impression when fighting.
Mirja: Thank you for answering such a trivial question of mine.
Suzuka: It was nothing. Now then, why don't we make our way back.



[Valentines Suzuka: End]: The Reason Behind Her Enthusiasm

Patissier: Sure, that would be fine. I can teach you some relatively simple tricks to making delicious chocolate even at home.
Suzuka: Thank you very much. It won't be an issue for you to teach them to me, will it?
Patissier: Well, it shouldn't be a problem so long as you don't go spreading online that it was our shop that taught it to you.
Patissier: We're very grateful to all you toji. You're spending your spare time helping us, aren't you?
Patissier: It's probably because you're all so cute, but we're selling more chocolate this year than usual.
Suzuka: Well now. In that case, I'll gladly learn what you have to teach me.
Patissier: Then, we can do it after we close up for the day. But, you must be tired from your duties, so don't push yourself, okay?
Suzuka: Of course; thank you for your concern.
Ellen: We're back-! I had a pretty exciting experience, fighting with Yumecchi out there.
Yume: Really? I was just fighting like I normally do~.
Ellen: You were really leading the way with how we were fighting before. It seems like anyone would have a hard time keeping up with you.
Yume: Ah, now that we're here, I wanna eat some cake!
Ellen: That's a good idea! I'm a little hungry myself.
Yume: What should I have today~? Mont blanc? Or pudding a la mode... Mmm, I think I'll go with the strawberry rare cheesecake after all~.
Suzuka: Strawberry is one of your favorites, isn't it, Yume. You like Ichigo Daifuku Neko as well, don't you?
Yume: Yeah, I guess it is~.
Suzuka: Once you've finished eating, can I count on you to help us with managing the shop?
Suzuka: I'll go ahead and get changed first.
Yume: Sure sure-. You don't have to worry about me-.

Suzuka: Thank you very much for your order. We hope to see you again.
Yume: Thank you very much~...
Yume: Suzuka-onee-san, is it me, or are you acting extra excited today?
Suzuka: I don't think that's the case? This is how I always am.
Yume: Ehh, but I feel like something's different for sure-. Ah, maybe you got a special kind of cake!
Suzuka: If I had gotten a cake like that, I would have shared it with you, Yume.
Yume: Hmm, I guess you would've. Then maybe I imagined it? But still...
Suzuka: (I should have expected no less from Yume... She's so perceptive when it comes to the strangest things. I think it would be fine to tell her about being taught the tricks to making chocolate though.)
Suzuka: (But, until Valenties day, I cannot allow Maki-san to find out.)
Suzuka: (I'm only erring on the side of caution. Sorry, Yume.)
Suzuka: (I'm sure the store's products would be more delicious, but I'm a bit interested in seeing Maki-san's reaction when I tell the chocolates I gave her are homemade.)
Suzuka: Though, it is Maki-san after all. I'm sure she's no stranger to homemade chocolate.
Yume: What's that about Maki-onee-san?
Suzuka: Nothing at all. It isn't much longer until closing time, so let's give one last effort.
Yume: You really are acting kinda suspicious today, Suzuka-onee-san~...

[Xmas' 19 - Suzuka: Start]: A Place to Hide a Present

Maki: Suzuka, did something happen for you to call me over here?
Suzuka: I'm sorry to do this when things are so busy at the end of the year. But actually, I'd like to discuss something with you.
Maki: Discuss what?
Suzuka: It's about the birthday present we bought for Yomi-san the other day.
Maki: Oh yeah. We picked out a great present thanks to you. I'm looking forward to surprising her with it. But, what about it?
Suzuka: You see, I had hidden it in the back of the record room so that Yomi-san wouldn't find it until the 24th...
Maki: Don't tell me she found it!?
Suzuka: No, I was able to retrieve it just in time, but Yomi-san' intuition is sharp. I'm not quite sure how to keep it a secret until the day of.
Maki: I get it. You're right, that's an important discussion to have.
Suzuka: To begin with, anywhere we can enter, Yomi-san freely enters as well...
Maki: And if we kept it in our living quarters, Yume would likely find it whenever she comes in to play around.
Suzuka: In previous years, we prepared it together with Yume, so the three of us could have kept it a secret between us.
Maki: But she went and said she'd do something on her own this year. I want to keep it secret from Yume too if possible...
Yomi: Konohana-san, you were in here?
Suzuka: Y-Yomi-san! Hadn't you gone off on an assignment?
Yomi: I was called in by Yukari-sama. I'm supposed to bring you with me as well.
Suzuka: Yukari-sama asked for you and myself? Very well then. We can leave in a moment. Though...
Maki: I'll take care of the present for now. If you think of a good place to store it, send me a message.
Suzuka: Alright then. Do your best to keep it a secret.

Yukari: Konohana, Satsuki, the two of you will be undertaking a special mission.
Suzuka: I understand. Ask us to do whatever is needed.
Yomi: Yes, whatever the mission entails, we will carry it out flawlessly.
Yukari: Those are encouraging responses. Your mission is set to take place on December 25th.
Yukari: Dressed in Santa Claus outfits, I want you to visit locations where the local children gather and distribute presents prepared by the Origami family.
Suzuka/Yomi: Eh...?
Yukari: What, are you dissatisfied with that?
Suzuka: Not at all; I think it's a wonderful idea! Yukari-sama, thank you for offering us this lovely mission.
Yomi: So long as you order it, I'll tend to it quickly, Yukari-sama.
Yukari: The presents have already been set aside in the storehouse. I leave it to you to decide how to distribute them. Is that clear?
Suzuka: Yes ma'am!

Yomi: There's a mountain of presents...
Suzuka: Would you look at that! Each of them is so neatly wrapped; just the sight of it gives me a thrill!
Yomi: Does it...
Suzuka: They're all so cute, and yet you don't seem interested in the slightest, Yomi-san...
Suzuka: Ahh! That's right! I could try that!
Yomi: Konohana-san? Is something wrong?
Suzuka: (Fufu, I've come up with an excellent idea of how to hide Yomi-san's present.)



[Xmas' 19 - Suzuka: End]: Present For You

December 25th.

Suzuka: Merry Christmas, to all you good girls and boys! These are presents from the Origami family. Please, come right up and have one~.
Boy 1: Ehh-! Can I really have one?
Child's Mother: Thank you very much.
Boy 2: Santa-onee-san! Please give me a present too!
Girl 1: Me too-!
Suzuka: Oh my, we're completely surrounded by children now. Yomi-san, are you alright over there?
Yomi: .........
Yomi: Will all the children please calm down. Plenty of presents have been prepared. They will be distributed as quickly as we are able, so please form a line and stand silently for your turn.
Suzuka: Yomi-san! If you use such difficult words, you won't get through to them.
Yomi: I'm sorry. I'm unused to working with children...
Suzuka: There's no helping that then. Yomi-san, I'll give an example of what to do, so try mimicking me to start. Here I go.
Suzuka: If any of our little friends would like a present, please line up in front of us onee-sans~!
Children: Okaaay!
Yomi: I see, bring yourself down to their level, and speak plainly to them... I'll try it.
Yomi: Everyone, if you want a present, please line up. Will everyone who wants a present please line up.

Suzuka: All the presents were peacefully handed out. You did well, Yomi-san.
Yomi: ......
Suzuka: Are you feeling too tired to have much to say? Though, because of your efforts today, you brought happiness to plenty of children.
Yomi: Do you think so?
Suzuka: I do. And that Santa bag you're holding is the proof of it. Isn't the inside filled with objects of their gratitude?
Yomi: Yes; letters, drawings, candies, and chocolate. I never expected them to give me so many gifts in return.
Suzuka: With this, we should be able to give a good report to Yukari-sama.
Yomi: That's true.
Yomi: By the way, Konohana-san. You've been carefully holding onto one present for a while now. Did you forget to distribute it?
Yomi: Our mission today was to deliver every last one of the presents. We should hurry and find a child to deliver it to.
Suzuka: There won't be any need for that. This here is Maki-san and my birthday present to you, Yomi-san.
Yomi: For... me?
Suzuka: With all the confusion surrounding the party and our missions, we ended up a day late, but Yomi-san, we wish you a happy birthday.
Yomi: Konohana-san...
Suzuka: Fufu, and I'll take a photo of the moment of our successful surprise. Maki-san on her expedition assignment should be glad to see this.
Yomi: Thank you for your gift. I'm grateful for your thoughtfulness.
Suzuka: You're very perceptive, Yomi-san, so we were anxious you might find your present before we could give it to you.
Suzuka: We were very lucky to keep it a secret until today. I suppose you hide a tree in a forest, and a present among gifts.



https://youtu.be/t74NJwnCerI
[Special Defense Team - Suzuka: Start]: Suzuka of the Special Defense Team

Suzuka: Now then, I'll go about explaining our next mission.
Maki: We're suppressing aradama, right?
Suzuka: Yes, it will be a bit of a trip. It's been some time since you and I took an assignment together, Maki-san.
Maki: With both of us, it'd be extremely unlikely anything goes wrong, but... It hasn't been long since we were put in the special defense team.
Maki: Let's keep ourselves focused.
Suzuka: Of course.
Suzuka: Even seen favorably, the special defense team is simply a re-organizing of the old Origami family elite guard.
Suzuka: There are still those keeping a harsh eye on us now, so all we can do is to continue producing results.

Suzuka: I don't see any... responses to aradama.
Maki: Doesn't seem like there's any around here. If we had Yomi with us right about now...
Suzuka: She would have found them easily.
Suzuka: Yet...
Suzuka: Though we were re-assembled directly under Akane-sama... If the four of us were to be acting together, it would invite needless suspicion.
Suzuka: We need to endure it for the time being.
Maki: We can't let pointless gossip make Yukari-sama's situation worse than it already is.
Maki: ...I'm going to hang around here a little longer. What about you, Suzuka?
Suzuka: Let's see... We should rest for the night.
Maki: Got it. You go on back first, Suzuka.
Suzuka: No, you'll be coming back with me, Maki-san.
Maki: If you're worried about me, don't be. An aradama's not going to get the better of me just because I lost one night of sleep.
Suzuka: I believe you. But, what if it's two nights instead of one? What if we still haven't found the aradama then?
Suzuka: Do you plan on keeping yourself awake all this time?
Maki: Then I'll...
Suzuka: It would be too much, even for you. Wouldn't it, Maki-san?
Suzuka: If all you do is stretch yourself thin, you'll break in no time.
Maki: ...You're right. Alright, Suzuka.
Maki: I'll go rest too.



[Special Defense Team - Suzuka: End]: In Harmony

Suzuka: Nn...
Suzuka: (It's still dark out, and yet I'm awake now... Oh?)
Suzuka: (Maki-san is looking outside...?)
Maki: ......
Suzuka: Maki-san?
Maki: Suzuka... Did I wake you?
Suzuka: You didn't... What time is it now?
Maki: It just turned five.
Suzuka: Not much longer till the sunrise then.
Suzuka: Nnnh......! Have you been up like this the whole time?
Maki: No, I only just got up myself. If I didn't sleep properly, somebody'd get mad at me.
Suzuka: Oh my, is there someone so frightening as to get angry with the former first seat of the elite guard?
Maki: Yeah, she's always around. It's a real help.
Suzuka: Maki-san!
Maki: Suzuka, get ready quick! We're leaving!

Suzuka: YAAH!
Aradama: OOOOoooo...
Maki: There's more than expected... HAAH!!
Suzuka: We made the right choice to get a good night's rest.
Maki: That's for sure.
Suzuka: Maki-san, feel free to move as you please. I'll stay with you and cover your blind spot.
Maki: I'll be fine if you move freely yourself, Suzuka. I can at least tell where your blind spot is.
Suzuka: Are you sure?
Maki: Yeah, leave it to me.
Suzuka: ......
Suzuka/Maki: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
Aradama: GYOOOOoooo...
Maki: How's that?
Suzuka: We've still only brought down two of them. We'll keep going at this pace!
Maki: Of course!
Suzuka: (Honestly... Your back is so warm.)
