Hanayui no Shou 24-4E

The three girls' Tokushima investigation - 4

[Hero Club room]

Fuu: You idiots! What were you thinking, going so far out with just the three of you!?

Wak: Fortunately we made it in time, but there has to be a limit to how careless you can get!

Sum: P-Please forgive us...

Son: Sorry...

Gin: I will reflect on it... Though it's impressive how fast you found us.

Fuu: Oh that... It's because you girls went ahead and tried buying a massive amount of alcohol with a Taisha-provided credit card!

Gin/Sum/Son: Ah.

Fuu: So the alcohol store called the Taisha, and then the Taisha demanded that I give them a written explanation! So much trouble!

Yuu: B-But because of that we were able to start chasing them before the alarm rang out... Right?

Tou: But why alcohol?.. Sumi-chan, don't tell me... You became a delinquent!?

Sum: O-Of course not! The reason was... this and that...

Anz: Ah... UMAs. But wasn't Bubbleman...

SON: It's a bogus that was born when somebody wrote down "Man from Awa" with similar sounding-kanji meaning "Man of Foam" for fun. [1]

Gin: Eeeh!? So there was no Bubbleman from the start...

Uta: Are you sure about that? What if someone caught a glimpse of the Gemini that was there and the rumour spread?

Mit: That could happen if the world doesn't Forestize...

Tak: Yeah, and because of that, Gun-chan's swimsuit got stolen last year! Grr!

Chi: L-Let's not bring that up...

Sek: Didn't it all turn out well in the end? We stamped out the pervert, and all three of them are safe.

Nat: So Gemini... was a pervert.

Hin: Even so, they did act carelessly and put themselves into danger...

Hin: And I'm sure you understand that attempting to buy alcohol is wrong, even if you had a reason to?

Gin/Sum/Son: Yes...

Tam: Yeah. This time, even Tama can't put in a good word for you...

Gin: Oh, right. Tamako-san, want a peach?

Tam: Of course! Come on, Hinata. Don't be so grumpy, let's forgive them.

Kar: Don't just change your stance on a dime like this!

Hin: And so... As your punishment, you two will be nursing Fuu-san, who just lost consciousness, back to health.

Sum: Eeh!? When did Fuu-san collapse?

Son: Ah. Just now, when you were explaining this and that, you mentioned a curse...

Kar: What do you mean this and that, how does that work? I've got to say though, losing consciousness silently... Fuu keeps getting better.

Its: Good luck, you three. Onee-chan's probably going to have a fit in her nightmares...

Gin: A fit!?

Yuu: Her fears have been getting worse lately. She manages to flail around even while unconscious...

Son: Eeeh...

Tou: But don't worry. As long as you can endure being sent flying, your purification will be over with that. Good for you!

Sum: No it's not... If she's unconscious but attacks us, that means...

Gin: She won't be holding back... Waaah...

Tam: This peach is delicious!
