[Ushigome residence: Rimi's bedroom]

Rimi: "Good evening big sis. Or is it night over there? Are you doing well?"
Rimi: "I'm fine. It's the peak of autumn in Japan"
Rimi: "It's getting a bit chilly so I was thinking it was about time to change my duvet"
Rimi: "And hmm----"
Rimi: Hmm......
Rimi: I guess I'm playing it a bit too safe with.......this video message to my big sis......?
Rimi: What should I film to show her exactly how Japan is doing......?
Rimi: Autumn, autumn.......Ah! I've got it!

[Shopping district: Kitazawa butchers]

Hagumi: Croquettes, croquettes~! Come get your freshly fried crispy croquettes♪
Hagumi: Tasty croquettes fresh out of the fryer~! Ah Rimirin! What can I get you!
Rimi: ......Ah! Looks like I wondered all the way to Hagumi's place. Guess I was drawn here by the tasty smell?
Hagumi: You're usually more bubblier and have a massive smile on your face when you stop by for croquettes, you're different today! Has something happen? Are you worried about something?
Rimi: No worried but more like, I guess I'm a bit stumped?
Hagumi: What is it? I'll help you out!
Rimi: I wanted to show my big sis the autumn leaves because she's studying abroad......
Rimi: I want to send her a video of them but to my surprise there isn't any around autumn leaves around here
Hagumi: Autumn leaves? The ones at the local park are red!
Rimi: Yeah, I sent her some pics of that. but I want to show her the real deal
Hagumi: I see, even though they're red you can't really call it autumn leaves can ya
Hagumi: Autumn leaves~......Ah! When I was a kid I went to play in the forest park, that place might be full of autumn leaves
Rimi: Really? So where is this place?
Hagumi: Hnn, I remember taking a train there but......Hold on a set I'll go ask my pops!
Hagumi: Look after the store for a sec~!
Rimi: Eh!? Wait, Hagumi-chan~!?
Hagumi: Sorry for the wait! Any costumers?
Rimi: Nope. everything was fine. So do you know where the park is?
Hagumi: Oh yeah, that! Guess what, it seems like it's only about half an hour away!
Hagumi: I went there as a kid so I thought it was ages away but it's seems like it's a lot closer than I remembered
Rimi: Is it! Maybe I'll go there on my next day off. Thanks Hagumi-chan
Hagumi: I want to go autumn leaf viewing with you!
Rimi: Really!? It'll be like so reassuring having you with me~! Do come with me
Hagumi: Woohoo! You know what, I'm a pro at swooshing in and catching the leaves as they fall and flutter from the tree
Rimi: Fufu, that's just like you
Hagumi: I call it Hagumi's autumn leaf hunting!
Rimi: Eh......!? That doesn't sound quite right.....
Hagumi: Rimirin, since we're going on a short trip how about inviting some other people along?
Rimi: Sure, why not♪ I'll ask around
Hagumi: Nice! I'll do the same!
Hagumi: I better get back to tending the store. My pops kinda yelled at me a moment ago......Ehehe
Rimi: Thanks for listening to me Hagumi-chan. Well then, I should head off as well
Hagumi: Sure, bye bye!!
Hagumi: Alrighty! I'm gonna tend this store like my life depended on it~!
Hagumi: Kitazawa butcher's~♪ Tasty croquettes♪ They're nice and crispy~!
Hagumi: Ah! Perfect timing! Welcome!! They're fresh out the fryer~!!


[Chapter 1: The Hagumi method]
[Synopsis: Rimi, Hagumi and the other girls she invited are autumn leaf viewing. You won't believe the line up......?]

[Forest park]

Hagumi: Alrighty then girls! Let's hunt those autumn leaves to extinction!
Ran: Is that even a thing......?
Rimi: Ahaha.....
Ran: Minato-san and Sayo-san, what brought you two here today?
Sayo: Well, it was more like one coincidence lead to another and you know the rest......
Hagumi: Shortly after me and Rimi set up the date for today Roselia came to the store!
Rimi: Did they now. So do Roselia grab some croquettes after practice as well?
Sayo: Not at all. Udagawa-san had an errand to run so we stopped off at the butchers and then Kitazawa-san invited us the moment we got there
Yukina: I thought looking at the beautiful scenery would spark my creative juices. It's a shame but the other members had plans so they couldn't come
Ran: Really. So that's why you're here
Yukina: What about you Mitake-san, did Ushigome-san invite you?
Ran: Well, yeah. I too...... thought it would spark both my flower arranging and lyric writing creative juices
Rimi: All of Popipa had plans and couldn't come. and I thought Ran-chan would be interested cause she does flower arranging
Yukina: Let's have a great day
Ran: Hm, yeah......
Sayo: So shall we get a move on and look at the autumn leaves? They do have a lots of others attractions but
Hagumi: Woah~! They do! Leaf flute classes, Bamboo-copters? They also have Kayaks! Everything sounds like a blast~!
Yukina: Sayo, didn't you plan any kind of itinerary for the day?
Sayo: It was a sudden invitation and I thought that Ushigome-san's goal of recording a video would have taken precedence, so.....
Rimi: Oh no......! Sorry for imposing on you! Since we're already here is there anything you personally want to do?
Ran: I want to do.....Well, nothing in particular
Yukina: Don't you have something you want to do Ushigome-san? You're recording a video for your older sister aren't you?
Rimi: Hmm......
Ran: (Himari or Tomoe would usually say something here saving my ass but..... How do I deal with these girls?)
Rimi: (What should I do~! I have loads of things I want to do but Kasumi-chan or Saaya-chan usually get the ball rolling, so I......)
Sayo: (Maybe I should have come up with a precise timetable with what I researched......this is mortifying. Me and Minato-san are their school senpai. We should take the lead.....)
Hagumi: I just thought of a cool idea!!
Rimi: Eh? What is it?
Hagumi: We'll all close our eyes and each pick up a leaf!
Ran: And is that the first thing we'll be doing?
Hagumi: And like, if most of the leaves we pick up are yellow we'll do leaf flutes! If they're red we'll ride the kayaks!
Rimi: Fufu, that sounds fun. Let's give it a shot
Hagumi: Alright then girls, close your eyes~. No peeking!
Ran: Eh!? We're really doing it?
Hagumi: Come on, don't be shy! Close your eyes as well Ranran!
Ran: Fine......Well, we never decided on anything so this is perfect
Yukina: We just need to pick up one right. Well here goes nothing......
Sayo: I've got one Kitazawa-san
Hagumi: OK then girls, open your eyes on two~! One-two!
Rimi: 3 Yellow ones and 2 red ones?
Hagumi: Then it's decided! We'll do leaf flutes first
Ran: Stop right there! Don't you think the one I picked up is more reddish?
Yukina: You've got a point......It has a gradient doesn't it
Rimi: This is tough...... It does look red
Sayo: Do..... you want to measure the exact surface area of red vs yellow?
Ran: .......
Ran: Sorry! Ahaha, I was just screwing with you! I do think it's yellow. see look at the back
Rimi: It really is! The back is yellow
Hagumi: Ranran, you scared the heck out of me~!
Ran: Sorry. I just thought it was a funny way of deciding on something
Yukina: Yeah but, you still shocked me by talking all seriously like that
Rimi: Fufu......! But that was a really fun way of deciding wasn't it
Hagumi: For real!? Ehehe, that's nice to know!
Rimi: So shall we head off to the leaf flutes
Hagumi: Yeah! Let's go!

[Chapter 2: Various ways to enjoy autumn]
[Synopsis: Rimi and the girls are learning how to play flutes made out of leaves. Ran suggest that she records her attempts]

[Leaf flute classroom]

Rimi: It's my first time but do you think I'll be able to do it?
Hagumi: I'd love for Hello happy to play leaf flutes in a song~!
Instructor: OK then let's start the class. First find a leaf that you like. Each leaf has its own unique sound, let's enjoy that as well
Sayo: A leaf you like...... I'm already in over my head
Yukina: I imagine, I guess you should just trust your gut feeling in these situations
Hagumi: I'm gonna go with this one! The big-un!
Sayo: I see, trusting your gut is the way to go. Then I'll go with......
Hagumi ~~♪ Woah, I made it whistle! So much fun~!
Ran: .....I can't whistle for shit.....
Rimi: ~~~~! ~~~~~~~!
Rimi: It's no use~. I can't make it whistle either...... You're great at this aren't you Hagumi
Hagumi: You're beet red Rimirin! You alright? But your cheeks are super adorbs all puffed out like that♪
Rimi: Uwu..... That's so embarrassing~.....
Ran: Ah, I know. Give the flute one more attempt. I'll record you and you can send it to your sister
Rimi: Eh!? But I can't make it whistle......
Hagumi: Yeah but, you're trying something new so don't you think your sister would love to see that?
Ran: You can do it Rimi
Rimi: ~~~~~! Still can't make it whistle......
Hagumi: Stick with it Rimirin! Do more like, hmm...... Pii! How do I say that? Make your mouth go all like......Pii!
Sayo: Pii......? Do you mean spread your lips so they're more flatter?
Hagumi: Pii! Yeah that! It's probably something like that!
Rimi: ~~~~~! I whistled~......!
Ran: Congrats, Rimi
Yukina: ~~......! I whistled as well
Sayo: Congratulation to you as well Minato-san. So what exactly is the trick to whistling?
Yukina: Well it's............
Ran: ?
Yukina: ...... It is hard to describe. Kitazawa-san was right though when she said to go like "Pii"
Ran: Can you do that for me once more Minato-san?
Yukina: Pii is like......Hey, Mitake-san! Don't film this
Rimi: Fufu......!
Hagumi: Eh? What's so funny?
Rimi: Fufu......! Sorry. "Pii" is just so funny
Yukina: Let's end this right here
Ran: Ahaha
Hagumi: Flute playing was so much fun~! If I practice a bit more I could make a song for Hello happy!
Ran: A Hello happy song with leaf flutes in would be pretty interesting
Sayo: That's true. It would make for a great highlight wouldn't it
Yukina: Ah......Ushigome-san, you've got a leaf stuck in your hair
Rimi: Wa, you're right! Thank you very much Yukina-senpai
Sayo: The way the leaves are fluttering down is beautiful isn't it
Ran: Sure is...... Wait, what are you doing now Hagumi?
Hagumi: I'm catching the falling leaves! Like, swish!
Hagumi: When I see them fall my reflexes kick in and I can't stop myself from catching them Ei! Ei!
Sayo: That's a very Kitazawa-san way of enjoying autumn..... isn't is. I can see Udagawa-san doing the same thing
Ran: That's true. I can see both Ako and Tomoe doing that
Hagumi: Let's all do it! Ei! Come on Ranran~!
Ran: Me too? OK then.....got it.....! Huh? I didn't. This is pretty tough
Hagumi: Swishy swoosh! You give it a shot as well Rimirin!
Rimi: Ei......! No good, it slipped right through my fingers~......
Sayo: ..... I know. Please give it another shot Ushigome-san. It's a nice moment so I think you should send it to your sister
Rimi: Huh! This too? Alrighty then.....Ei!
Hagumi: Ah~, so close! Ranran, Rimirin. You need guts and spirit! Keep your eyes on the leaves and~......Ei!
Ran: Ha.....! Got it!
Rimi: Ei! Ah! I got one as well! Big sis, I caught a falling leaf ~! Woohoo!
Hagumi: Woohoo!! Did you get it on camera Sayo-senpai?
Sayo: Yeah. Congratulations girls
Yukina: Even you look happy about this Sayo
Sayo: Do I?
Ran: Come to think of it. Sayo-san has like the.....essence of a "big sister" doesn't she. Well that's what I heard from Tomoe
Sayo: I don't think that's the case
Rimi: Thank you very much Sayo-senpai. I'll send it to my sis straight away


[Chapter 3: Surrounded by scarlet]
[Synopsis: Rimi and the girls move on to kayaking. While struggling to kayak the five girls head for the red leaves]

[Forest park]

Hagumi: Next up is kayaking isn't it! This is gonna be the best~!
Ran: You ever been in one before Hagumi?
Hagumi: Nope I haven't! That's why I'm looking forward to it so much~! It'll be the first time I've seen the autumn leaves from the water so I'm hyped to see what they'll be like!
Yukina: They have 3 seaters and 2 seaters kayaks, so how should we split up?
Ran: How about we let the leaves decide? It should be yellow for the 3 seater, red for the 2 shouldn't it
Rimi: Yeah! I think it's a great idea!
Sayo: So that means..... Me and Ushigome-san are in the 2 seater and Minato-san, Mitake-san and Kitazawa-san are in the three seater
Hagumi: Alrighty~! Ranran, Minato-san, let's do this!
Ran: Minato-san, teamwork is crucial for this so don't let me down
Yukina: Bring it on
Sayo: That leaves us then Ushigome-san. I'm not sure how far we'll get but let's do our best to show off the nice scenery to your sister
Rimi: Yeah!
Hagumi: Alrighty then, let's go!
Rimi: Wa.....! The paddles are pretty heavy aren't they
Sayo: Yeah. Please take care not to lose your balance
Hagumi: Alright then, I'll be the cheerleader and you stroke to my beat! Here goes! Happy! Lucky! Smile! Yay!!
Ran: Hagumi....! That's impossible to follow
Yukina: I agree with her. I'd prefer it if you would use a different chant
Hagumi: You think? Alright then, how about one-two! One-two!
Ran: Straight back to normalcy
Hagumi: Ranran, Minato-san, do it with me! One-two! One-two!
Yukina/Ran: One-two, One-two.....
Hagumi: Woah! Looking good!! We're getting there! One-two-one-two!
Rimi: Heave-ho Heave-ho......
Sayo: Try straightening your back a bit more Ushigome-san. That way you should be able to keep your balance while you're rowing
Rimi: Sure!
Hagumi: One-two-one-two! Woah.....Check it out!! I'm starting to see some really pretty autumn leaves
Ran: You're right......! Minato-san, Hagumi, let's hurry up over there
Hagumi: Yeah! Let's sync up our breathing -.....One-two
Yukina: One-two, one-two.......!
Rimi: *Pant*......*Pant*...... We finally made it..... That was harder than I thought it would be..... Sorry for paddling so slowly Hikawa-senpai
Sayo: Don't mention it, It's because you need a lot more strength than you would expect to account for the water's resistance don't you. but take a look. The beautiful scenery is starting to come into view
Rimi: Woah......You're right.......! It's beautiful......
Ran: The scenery's reflection on the water surface is pretty isn't it
Yukina: Yeah, it's a wonderful sight
Hagumi: You're right! so pretty~.....
Rimi: Oh yeah! I'll have to send a video of this to my sister
Sayo: Ushigome-san take care not to capsize the boat......!
Rimi: Waa.......! Sorry for doing that......!
Hagumi: I guess I'll take a pic as well!
Rimi: Big sis, the autumn leaves reflection on the surface of the water is really pretty as well. Look, it's all wobbly~
Hagumi: Look at me Rimirin-!
Rimi: Look at you......? Woah......! Sorry..... I rocked the boat again
Hagumi: Keep on rocking, I just wanted to say the autumn leaves are pretty~!
Rimi: Yeah! they're beautiful! Big sis, thanks to these girls I was able to see the beautiful scenery♪

[Chapter 4: Taste of autumn festival]
[Synopsis: Killing two birds with one stone the girls take a break and grab a bite to eat at the food stalls, they each pick out their taste of autumn]

[Forest park]

Hagumi: Phew~ That was a blast~!
Rimi: Yeah! It was a first for me but I'm glad I rowed well
Yukina: Yeah, we got to see fresh and beautiful scenery
Ran: We still have enough time left to look around the park, so what should we do?
Sayo: Shall we see what other kinds of attractions they have?
Rimi: Hmm!
Hagumi: Is there something you want to do? Tell us!
Rimi: Hmm...... If it's OK with you, I was thinking about how I'd like to visit the food stalls over there.....
Ran: They.....even have food stalls
Yukina: I am a bit tired from kayaking so I wouldn't mind sitting down for a meal
Sayo: Yeah, let's
Rimi: Yay-! Then let's get a move on!
Ran: Ahaha, Rimi you've perked right up
Sayo: A taste of autumn festival..... Everything looks delicious doesn't it
Yukina: It smells great. Is this a roasted sweet potato?
Rimi: I'm going to go buy something right away!
Hagumi: Me too-! Yay~! Wonder what should I get~
Ran: Ah, they're gone. Let's go as well. We can meet back up after we've bought what we want
Yukina: Got it
Hagumi: Sorry to keep you waiting~!! Ranran, Minato-san and Sayo-senpai! Thanks for saving us some seats!
Rimi: Sorry, there was just so many tasty looking things......
Ran: It's fine. So what did you two buy?
Hagumi: I bought a sweet potato croquette! We sell them as well but I wanted to compare them!
Sayo: I see, so you're scoping out your competition, I underestimated you Kitazawa-san
Ran: Did you get a candied sweet potato, Rimi?
Rimi: Yeah! I did~. I thought it smelled so sweet and delicious. Did you go for the...... matsutake mushroom!?
Ran: Yeah. A grilled matsutake kebab. Isn't it exciting to see higher class food in a food stall?
Rimi: It smells great~! You're right that is thrilling
Hagumi: Hey, can we start eating? The food smell so good I'm dying to get stuck in~!
Rimi: Yeah, let's eat! Thanks for the food
Ran: Thank for the food......So delicious! This exceeds my expectations. I'm kinda glad I splurged on this
Hagumi: This croquette is to die for~! It's sweet you could have it for snack~!
Rimi: This candied sweet potato is delish~. The outside feels all crunchy and the inside is nice and soft, it's the best.....!
Yukina: Do you have any other opinions of it?
Rimi: Hmm, Let me think...... Yukina-senpai~! It's embarrassing to be filmed while eating~!
Ran: Minato-san, you jumped the gun. And you topped it off with such an emotionless question....
Yukina: We're making a video for her sister aren't we? I'm helping
Ran: Hey! Don't point the camera at me while we're talking! You're suppose to be filming Rimi aren't you!?
Hagumi: No big deal, let's all get on camera! Yay-!! This croquette is the bomb~!
Rimi: Big sis. It's a candied sweet potato, I bet they don't have them over there? Eat one when you get back
Ran: .....It's delicious
Sayo: I'm sure her sister will love this
Yukina: Yeah, I think she will
Rimi: What did you buy Yukina-senpai and Sayo-senpai?
Sayo: I went with the candied grapes. I saw that they had candy apples but I figured grape ones were more unusual
Yukina: I got.....
Yukina: I went with the yakisoba
Hagumi: Woah~! Looks tasty!!
Rimi: Yakisoba you say......?
Ran: That has absolutely nothing to do with the taste of autumn......

[Chapter 5: Forming memories]
[Synopsis: The last thing on the list is what Hagumi wants to do. And she lead the girls to the illustrated letter class......?]

[Forest park]

Rimi: I'm stuffed~ That was so delicious wasn't it
Ran: Sure was. So what should we do last?
Hagumi: Me!! There's something I want to do! Follow me girls~!
Rimi: Hey, Hagumi-chan wait up~!
Sayo: Don't stray away from us Kitazawa-san
Yukina: Looks like we have no choice but to follow her, let's go
Rimi: Where are we......?
Ran: The illustrated letter class......?
Hagumi: Yeah! We've taken loads of videos and pictures but I was thinking about how much your sister would love if you sent her letter like this
Sayo: I see. The Japanese love their letters don't they. I think it's a great idea
Hagumi: I spotted it while ago when I was wandering the food stalls. So what do you girls think?
Ran: Yeah, sounds good. Nice idea Hagumi
Rimi: I want to do that as well. Let's all write a precious letter together
Instructor: Alright then let's start the illustrated letter class. The art supplies are over here so take what you need
Sayo: ......
Hagumi: Huh? What's the matter Sayo-senpai? You've lost your smile?
Sayo: I'm not good at painting so..... I'm a bit worried
instructor: An illustrated letter is something you you send from the heart. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, feelings are all that matter. So let's try painting what we feel
Hagumi: .....You hear that! I'm sure it'll turn out perfect! ......Happiness happy magical Sayo-senpai~~
Sayo: And that was.....?
Hagumi: A magical spell to make everything go perfect for you!
Sayo: Fufu....... thank you
Ran: .......
Rimi: ......Woah, that's amazing Ran-chan!
Ran: It's not even good. Looks like we're both painting the same scenery
Rimi: Yeah, The autumnal leaves we saw from the kayak were really pretty so I wanted to paint that. Even though it's the same scenery mine is nothing compared to yours~......
Ran: Quit it. you're using the autumnal leaves reflected on the waters surface as the focal point aren't you Rimi. I think the way the scenery is divided is unique to that landscape
Rimi: .......You mean, it's not bad?
Ran: .......That's enough of that
Sayo: This is pretty hard..... Are you only painting a single leaf Minato-san? That's pretty simple isn't it
Yukina: Yeah. Because the first leaf I picked up was beautiful. That's probably all thanks to Kitazawa-san
Hagumi: Eh!? For real!? I'm delighted~ Sayo-senpai, your drawing of the flutter leaves is pretty as well♪
Sayo: The way everyone tried their best to catch the falling leaves left an impression on me so.....I chose to paint that scene
Rimi: ..... Each of your paintings are wonderful. Big sis, everyone is earnestly painting their illustrated letter. I want to send this to her right away
Hagumi: Rimirin, are you filming?
Rimi: Yeah, I want my sister to know all about the girls I spent my day with as well
Rimi: I wonder if you're all addressing your letters to someone? Who's this one for Hagumi?
Hagumi: This one is for all of Hello happy! With a taste of the delicious autumn!
Rimi: Who are your ones for Yukina-senpai and Sayo-senpai?
Yukina: We're addressing ours to ourselves
Rimi: Woah.......! That's so cool.......!
Sayo: The "FUTURE WORLD FES" is approaching so I thought I'd write a message to my future self......
Ran: Addressing it to yourself...... Wish I thought of that
Rimi: I wonder who Ran-chan is addressing hers to?
Ran: Not telling!
Rimi: Looks like Ran is keeping this secret from us
Ran: Don't you think the way you said that was...... a bit sadistic?
Rimi: Sorry, I didn't mean it like that! But I'm sure it's someone special to you, isn't it?
Ran: Well..... I guess it's someone in my life that I look up to
Rimi: Everyone's writing a letter to their someone special. I'm sure they'll love it

[Ending: Me, being colored in]
[Synopsis: Rimi and the girls are all laughing on their way home from leaf viewing. How did the video letter turn out......?]

[Way home]

Sayo: Kitazawa-san, Ushigome-san, thank you very much for inviting us
Yukina: It was a great change of pace. And I had loads of new experiences, I can feel my creative juices flowing. How did you like it Mitake-san?
Ran: Well.....I thought it wasn't too bad as well
Hagumi: I'm so glad I invited you two when you popped into my store~! I had a blast hanging out with Ranran and you girls!
Rimi: I should be thanking you, thank you very much for indulging me on my whim. I had so much fun
Sayo: Do you think you'll have a good footage to send your sister?
Rimi: Yeah! I reviewed the footage on the train back here, each video had a completely different feeling depending on who filmed it, it was really interesting♪
Rimi: I'm sure my sister will love it
Hagumi: Yay! Today's epic leaf hunting adventure was great success wasn't it!
Ran: When did we decide to call it that?
Rimi: Hagumi-chan took the initiative and dragged us everywhere so it was a riot from the get go. Thank you for that
Sayo: That's true. We could all take a leaf out of Kitazawa-san's book with her ability to take action and her outgoing attitude
Yukina: Yeah, you took the words right out of my mouth
Ran: You girls are so stiff.... You could have just said you had enjoyed your first trip with us without being so robotic about it
Sayo: I just couldn't find the right words
Hagumi: Ehehe♪ You're gonna make me blush with all these compliments~! What I'm the most happiest about is that you all spent the whole day smiling
Rimi: Thanks for sending me all the footage you took so quickly. I'll send you my footage as well
Ran: Sure, I'll look forward to it
Hagumi: I want to go somewhere else with you girls~!
Sayo: Yeah, let's do that. well then, I'm off. Excuse me
Rimi: OK, see you later!

[Ushigome residence: Rimi's bedroom]

Rimi: Hello big sis. I went to look at the autumn leaves with everyone
Rimi: I went with Hagumi-chan, Ran-chan, Yukina-senpai and Hikawa-senpai! I guess that's a unexpected group of gals isn't it
Rimi: But I had such a super fun day~!
Rimi: Everyone filmed me throughout the day so keep on watching and the footage will play after this
Rimi: It was my first outing with Hikawa-senpai and Yukina-senpai but they were so kind and they did everything with me
Rimi: Oh and! The candied sweet potato I ate at the stall was so delicious..... Oh yeah, you'll see that for yourself when you watch the video after this, so whatever. Ehehe
Rimi: Big sis, I have loads of wonderful friends and senpai around me
Rimi: Of course Popipa and all the other band members are wonderful as well. they're all inspirational
Rimi: I hope I can make even better songs with the effect everyone has had on me, not just you and the Popipa girls
Rimi: .......
Rimi: I still feel a little lonely without you but I'll send you loads of videos, I hope that by watching them you'll see that you have nothing to worry about
Rimi: Well then, please enjoy today's autumn leaf viewing video--

[Yukina 3☆: Painting memories]

[Twice a week plans]

[Forest park]

Yukina: (Looks like everyone is still touring the food stalls. Maybe I'll have a little wander)
Yukina: (The autumn leaves are beautiful.......Even if you're convinced you've seen them all seeing them in a new place makes them feel fresh and unique......Huh?)
Yukina: I thought I just heard a cat meowing from over there.....
Cat: Meow
Yukina: (So adorable..... I wonder where it came from?)
Hagumi: Woah~ A kitty! So cute! You're a calico kitty aren't you~!
Yukina: Kitazawa-san......!
Hagumi: Ah, it's Minato-san! Check it out, there's an adorable little kitty cat~!
Yukina: Huh? Oh yeah, so there is......
Yukina: (I can't believe Kitazawa-san snuck up on me like that..... I was seconds away from getting caught petting the cat.....)
Hagumi: Amazing, it's not even trying to run away when you pet it! I wonder if it's someones pet?
Yukina: (Is Kitazawa-san a pro level patter or something? It looks like it's in heaven......)
Yukina: So do you have a pet cat Kitazawa-san? See, like.....because you know how to handle them
Hagumi: Nope! But there's a neighbourhood store called the "Cat store" where I always play with the kitty!
Hagumi: And the "Cat store" kitty is a calico cat just like this one~!
Yukina: Is it now. So is this "Cat store" the name of a pet shop or something?
Hagumi: Nah, it's a fishmongers. They sell loads of tasty fish!
Yukina: The "Cat store" is a fishmongers......? What does that even mean......?
Hagumi: And that kitty often comes to my place to eye up the croquettes!
Hagumi: But you can't feed croquettes to cats can you!
Yukina: Yeah, they'll be toxic to cats if they have onions in them
Yukina: Plus they're salty and fatty, it's generally not a good idea to give cats food meant for people
Hagumi: You know your stuff don't you Minato-san! So are you a cat person?
Yukina: What gives you that idea.....
Hagumi: Yeah but, you know what! My pops makes meatballs especially for cats~!
Hagumi: And recently it has been eating out of the palm of my hands! And then afterwards I get to pat it a bunch~!
Yukina: (Eating out of the palm of your hands.....)
Yukina: It's not like I'm dying to know or anything but does this cat often visit your place?
Hagumi: Yeah! It comes on the same day every week~!
Yukina: This is just for future references but can you tell me the exact day.......?
Hagumi: Let me think, Tuesdays and Fridays! I asked the lady at the "Cat place" and she said I can give it treats on those days!
Yukina: Tuesdays and Fridays.....
Hagumi: Huh!? Did you just say something Minato-san?
Yukina: Nope, nothing at all. forget you heard anything
Hagumi: Already forgotten! Never mind that Minato-san! Let's play with the kitty!
Yukina: Huh......?
Hagumi: Come on! It's staring at you saying "pet me~"!
Yukina: ..............!
Yukina: (Kitazawa-san..... is a sweet girl isn't she......)
Hagumi: What are you waiting for Minato-san, hurry up and pat it!
Yukina: Well then, I'll give it a little pat

[Sayo 2☆: Autumnal fox]

[The Hikawa sisters autumn leaf viewing plans]

[Hikawa residence]

Sayo: ......So I guess it was something like that. One thing I can say for sure is that it wasn't a regular day off
Hina: Must be nice! I'm boppin♪ just from hearing your stories
Hina: I wish I could have gone leaf viewing with you-! First thing I would do when I got there is go kayaking!
Sayo: It was a great idea to choose kayaking first. When we got there it happened to be free but it seems like the kayaks are fully booked on holidays
Hina: And then we'll eat lunch, Ah, and I want to go to the illustrated letter classes! but before that I want to take a stroll
Sayo: So a stroll after lunch.......And then the illustrated letter class after that.....
Sayo: If i'm remembering correctly the afternoon illustrated letter classes start at 2PM so..... We can take 1 hour for lunch and then wander around for 30 minutes....
Hina: Ah, and I want to camp out as well! You can also camp at that park can't you?
Hina: I'll bring my telescope and then at night we can look at the stars together!
Sayo: So an overnight stay then, if so then we can take a later class.....
Hina: Huh......? What have you been writing?
Sayo: What do you mean what have I been writing? It's obviously a schedule?
Hina: A schedule for what?
Sayo: What do you mean for what? We decided to go leaf viewing didn't we. It's mostly filled with everything you wanted to do though, so what do you think?
Hina: Wait what......? You really want to go with me!?
Sayo: Huh? Didn't you just say you wanted to go?
Sayo: More importantly, how's the schedule? If there's anything you don't like tell me as soon as possible so I can revise it
Hina: So it's true......! Yay, thank you so much Onee-chan! I'll check it right away!
Hina: ......Yeah, it all flows together perfectly! So good I want to go there right now!
Sayo: Don't be so silly, for starters we won't be able to achieve our first goal of kayaking if we arrive before the kayak rental place is open
Sayo: And if we're staying overnight we'll have to adjust our personal schedules not just for the day but for the following day as well
Sayo: Talk to your agency about getting a day off and then when we have the day confirmed we'll plan the finer details
Hina: Huh, who gives a crap about that! Your time is more important anyway! I want to go straight away!
Sayo: Hina...... If you're not going to take this seriously then I'm shredding these plans, you really want that?
Hina: No please don't~! I'll make sure to ask them!
Sayo: That's what I wanted to hear. I'll go ask mom and dad for permission
Hina: ......Ehehe
Sayo: ......What's up with you? Your face looks like it's made of jello
Hina: That's cause if I get a day off we can really go can't we! I've never felt this happy before!
Hina: Oh yeah, let's have curry for lunch! One we make together!
Sayo: I see, then I'll have to rent some kitchen space. And bringing along par boiled vegetables will make things easier wouldn't it
Hina: Ah, and I want to light a fire as well!
Hina: And then we'll eat curry, have a nice long chat while stargazing then fall asleep together! And then the next morning we'll....
Sayo: For Christs sake, it's just one thing after another with you isn't it. But before we can do anything you'll need to get a day off
Hina: I heard you the first time! Ehehe, I'll go ask them first thing tomorrow!
Hina: Ah, you better go ask Roselia tomorrow as well! You promise!?
Sayo: Don't drag me down to your level. I've already asked them
Hina: Good job Onee-chan! ......Aaah~, I can't wait
Sayo: ......I know right, I'm looking forward to it as well

[Ran 3☆: Don't point that thing at me!]

[Worthy rival and advisor]

[Shopping mall]

Lisa: Ah, that was such a blast! I don't usually wear punk fashion so window shopping for them was new to me-
Ran: I just wanted to window shop as well so you helped me out a bunch. Cause you've got great fashion sense
Lisa: Do I? Thanks! Maybe I should have bought something~
Lisa: Cause if I did it would open up new worlds of coordinated outfits for me! What do you think?
Ran: I think it sounds great. Was there anything you fancied?
Lisa: I guess that one-. like that t-shirt that hangs off of your right shoulder!
Ran: I have one of those, we'd match if you bought that
Lisa: Would we~. I guess that's not very punk is it......
Ran: I don't really mind so go ahead if you like it
Lisa: Hnn, but I'm still not sure~......! Alrighty, I'll go ask them to reserve it for me for the day
Ran: Well, you'll regret buying it on impulse as well won't you
Lisa: Oh yeah, you went leaf viewing with Yukina didn't you? I spat my tea the moment I heard that
Ran: We didn't really go together......More like when we got to the meeting place Minato-san was there. I was just as shocked
Lisa: Did you girls throw any punches~?
Ran: We didn't "throw any punches"
Lisa: Ahaha, just messing with you! Yukina seemed to enjoy herself. She told me everything. She said leaf whistling was tough-. Could you do it Ran?
Ran: Well, more or less. ...... Minato-san managed to whistle before me though
Ran: Yeah, but I think my whistling sounded better, my notes were more consistent
Lisa: Fufu, where they now? And you went kayaking as well didn't you?
Ran: Yes, we did. And Minato-san instantly got the hang of kayaking. well, when it was all over I still had loads of energy to spare though
Lisa: Ahaha, did you now. You did a bunch of things didn't you~. So did you enjoy yourself?
Ran: Well..... It wasn't bad
Ran: And for lunch we had a taste of autumn
Lisa: A taste of autumn. sounds tasty! I wish I went as well~......
Ran: You couldn't come because you had work or something didn't you? Well it was the spur of the moment thing so it must have been difficult to get time off
Lisa: I know right~...... I have to come with next time you go somewhere~!
Lisa: Oh yeah, Yukina told me Hagumi invited her, did she invite you as well?
Ran: I was invited by Rimi. I thought it was a good idea to go cause I could use autumn leaf viewing as a reference for my flower arrangements
Lisa: Phwoar, what a cool reason! So was it?
Ran: It was a good point of reference. Cause they had loads of plants other than autumn leaves
Ran: The balance between the autumn leafs and flowers can be adopted into flower arranging. After all plants do look their best in their natural habitat
Lisa: Really.......!
Ran: ......Wait, sorry. I should shut up now
Lisa: Eh~ why are you apologising? Tell me more~! you've piqued my interest~
Ran: Eh......? You mean about flower arranging?
Lisa: Not specifically flower arranging but I'm more interested in what you like? And I do love flowers as well!
Ran: Well if you say so......Ah, Oh yeah. Can I ask you about an arrangement I've just come up with?
Ran: I'm thinking of making an arrangement with a slightly different feel to it so I wanted to hear an objective opinion about it
Lisa: Okay-, I've got you covered! ..... Is what I'd like to say but it would just be an opinion from a nobody
Ran: That's fine. In fact that's what I prefer, people who aren't familiar with flower arrangement are able to offer opinions with an open mind
Lisa: I see~. You're right about how important it is getting opinions from others. and they can tell you exactly what you've overlooked
Ran: Cause if you come up with something all by yourself you end up making something that resemble your previous works
Lisa: ......Ah I know! I'd like to discuss something with you, you alright with that?
Ran: You want to discuss something with me......? I'm fine with that but.....Are you sure I'm the right person to ask?
Lisa: Yeah, I actually have something I want to discuss with you in secret from Yukina
Ran: Secret discussion.....What exactly do you want to ask me?
Lisa: I'm writing some more lyrics~! And I wanted to write lyrics that will shock Yukina when she sees them
Lisa: But, it's exactly like what you said earlier, if I come up with something on my own it'll end up resembling my previous works.....
Lisa: So in order to shock her I thought it would be a good idea to get opinions from other bands!
Ran: Scaring the crap out of Minato-san...... Count me in Lisa-san. Sounds interesting
Lisa: Phwoar, I knew you'd be interested! Don't let me down Ran~!
Ran: Leave it to me, I'll help you write lyrics that'll blow Minato-san's mind to pieces

[Hagumi 4☆ Looking up at autumn]

[Hello happy style autumn recommendations]

[Family restaurant]

Misaki: OK then girls shall we start. If anyone had any problems with today's practice speak up now or forever hold your peace-
Kaoru: Problems..... let me think, I realised how fleeting it was that when we all come together we form a complete song
Kokoro: I didn't notice a thing! It was super fun, the same as always!
Hagumi: Me too! It was super fun!
Misaki: Well there we have it, in other words you girls were same as always. Over to you Kanon-san
Kanon: Hmm..... We were all basically out of sync today so we should work on that next time
Misaki: ...... Bless your soul for everything Kanon-san
Kokoro: Hey, check it out! It says they have a special autumn parfait!
Kaoru: Aah...... It's a wonderful parfait isn't it. it's amazing how they pack so many autumnal delights into such a small vessel
Misaki: Cool, another limited item on the menu. They do that every month though don't they
Kanon: But it does look delicious...... It has the full taste of autumn added, like chestnuts and pears
Hagumi: Ah, "taste of autumn" you just reminded me! I wrote some letters to all of you! Here you go, the first is for Kaoru-kun!
Kaoru: A heartfelt letter from Hagumi......Fufu, I'm delighted
Hagumi: Hmm, and this one is for Kokoron isn't it. This is for Kano-chan-senpai and this is Mi-kun's! Ah and Michelle's is......
Misaki: Ah-, I'll take that. I'll make sure it gets to her so don't worry about a thing
Kanon: Is this......an illustrated letter? It's illustrated with the full of the taste of autumn isn't it
Kokoro: Chestnuts and sweet potatoes! And there's a croquette over here isn't there!
Misaki: Hmm..... were croquettes considered a taste of autumn......?
Kanon: It could be a sweet potato croquette. See, then it would count as a taste of autumn......
Misaki: Let's just go with that theory.......
Hagumi: Yeah it is! It's the sweet potato croquette I ate when I went autumn leaf viewing!
Misaki: Wait, she was right
Kanon: Did you paint that illustrated letter while you were there as well?
Hagumi: Yeah, they had hands on lessons there so I painted them with everyone~!
Misaki: Really, so they held those kinds of classes there did they. That's kinda intriguing
Kanon: Illustrated letter can look cluttered but this is a tasteful and artistic painting
Misaki: You've got a point. Hagumi's abundance of enthusiasm combined with the delicate feel of the water colors might be a match made in heaven
Kokoro: I'm not as sophisticated as you gals but I think Hagumi's painting is fantastic! All the food looks super scrumptious!
Kokoro: Hagumi, you must be a genius to be able to paint such a marvellous picture!
Hagumi: Ehehe, thanks a bunch Kokoron! It's probably cause I was thinking "Be super tasty" while I was painting it!
Kaoru: The penmanship is fabulous as well. I can feel autumn just by reading it.....
Kaoru: "I'm in heaven, eating a piping hot, sweet potato" How fleeting is that.......!
Kanon: "I'm in heaven, eating roasted, chestnuts" Ah, is that a......?
Misaki: Hagumi, did you try to write haikus in all of them?
Hagumi: Ehehe~, We did that haiku homework together didn't we? So I wanted to give it another shot~!
Misaki: Haha, those haikus are pure Hagumi aren't they. And now my......stomachs starting to rumble from those haikus and paintings
Kokoro: Then why don't you have dinner over at my house today! Loads of autumn food got delivered yesterday! Let's eat them all together
Misaki: There it is. Kokoro's spontaneous suggestion
Kaoru: Fufu, everyone sitting around the dining table relishing in the autumnal food..... That's a wonderful idea isn't it
Hagumi: So a taste of autumn party! I want to eat a mushroom hot pot! I guarantee it'll be tasty!
Misaki: And everyone's already hyped about it..... But I'm hooked this time as well......
Kanon: I get it Misaki-chan, I'm starving as well. I want to order that autumn special parfait.....
Hagumi: Cause you "fall" in love with all the food! Let's eat loads of tasty food!
Kanon: You may be right but we'll get fat if we overeat.......
Misaki: Exactly, we've more or less already decided to eat autumn food over at Kokoro's house so we'd break the scales if we fill up on dessert here.....
Hagumi: Then let's all play sports tomorrow! Like soccer or softball!
Kanon: Those are some hardcore sports you went with......
Hagumi: You think so? They're easy peasy! For soccer all you gotta do is kick the ball while running and for softball all you gotta do is hit the ball
Misaki: Kanon-san, every sport is easy peasy for Hagumi cause she lives and breathes sports.....
Kanon: Oh yeah.......
Kokoro: Sounds like fun! We'll all eat and play sports! The perfect way to spend autumn!
Kaoru: Oh my, but if we all stuff ourselves with food then do loads of exercise......Won't we be back at square one again with our bellies rumbling?
Hagumi: Then I'll bring a bunch of croquettes with me! We can eat those when we get peckish!
Kokoro: That's a fabulous idea! This is the best thing ever now that I'll get to eat Hagumi's croquettes, I'm already going bonkers with anticipation!
Hagumi: Yeah! Cause autumn is all about fall-ing in love with croquettes isn't it!! Just you wait Kokoron
Misaki: Hmm.....I don't know what the heck that even means......
Kanon: I don't know either but Hagumi-chan is smiling and all the girls are looking forward to it so..... I guess we shouldn't sweat the small stuff?
Misaki: ......Sure thing. I'll just switch my brain off and look forward to the autumn party with them
