Aka: Hey, Yuzuki-chan. Did you catch this fish?

Yuz: ...No. I didn't catch anything all morning. But this afternoon for sure.

Ren: I commend your perseverance, Yuzuki.

Aka: Maybe I'll try fishing after lunch. What's this delicious fish?

Ren: Japanese amberjack. Individuals of around 20 to 40cm are called "tsubasu", whereas smaller ones are known as "buri".

Aka: So the buris are the small ones.

Yuz: Now that you mention it, they taste the same.

Ren: They appear of this size at this period of the year. It is for this reason that you will not catch buris.

Yuz: When I think buri, autumn or winter comes to mind.

Tam: Here, Anzu! Eat the greater amberjack shashimi Tama fished!

Anz: Sorry, Tamacchi-senpai. I'm eating the jam Mebuki-san's group made.

Anz: I don't want to eat sashimi right after jam...

Tam: What!? Can't help it then... Jam and sashimi don't mix well.

Meb: Tamako, could I have a little of your sashimi?

Tam: Sure, take everything you want!

Meb: I will help myself then. Mh, it's delicious.

Tam: I'm gonna catch even bigger fish this afternoon.

Suz: Mebu, your hassaku jam is better than I thought.

Aya: Yes. It's so good, I want to eat Mebuki-senpai's and Yoshika-senpai's jam every morning.

Yos: Thank you, Kokudo-san.

Aya: It's very good. Right? Chikage-senpai.

Chi: It is. Even though I think you said you weren't good at cooking before, it really is good.

Yos: I'm so happy it was to your liking! ...T-Thank you so much!!

Chi: I'm the one who should be thanking you. Thank you for the food, Hanamoto-san.

Yum: Mebuki-saan, the jam bottle is empty. Is there any more?

Meb: It was all I had. ...The reception was so positive, maybe I'll make some more this afternoon.

Yos: If so, allow me to help.

Meb: Thank you, I'll need it.

Yuu: Everyone, the dessert has arrived. It's Tougou-san's handmade strawberry botamochi!

Tou: As per Yuuna-chan's suggestion, I have created Shikoku's supreme botamochi. Help yourselves.

Hin: I will have one then. I'm looking forward to the taste.

Kir: Yer normal botamochi's crazy good, I have high hopes fer this.

Everyone: Thank you!

[Fishing pond]

Yuz: Oh, caught one! ...And it's a huge shrimp??

Gin: Great catch, Yuzuki-san! It's a lobster!

Aka: Since it's a fishing pond, do you think the orchards workers introduce these periodically?

Yuz: I guess so. Which would explain how Fuu-san knew you could catch lobsters.

Ren: Tomorrow's dinner with lobster is looking rather fancy.

Aka: If you're the one cooking, I'll do my best to catch some too!

Ren: Hmph, I will be expecting the most vigorous in order to make delicious dashi.

Tam: Lobsters are good and all, but we gotta get the master!

SHI: As if anything resembling a pond master existed.

Tam: Kuh... Tama demands fishing pond romanticism!

Yuz: Demanding won't change reality. But...

Yuz: In the mountains rivers or lakes, do real master-like fish exist?

Tam: What's that, Yuzuki? Are you interested in river fishing? Let's go together next time we go camping!

Yuz: I wouldn't say interested, but when you do, please call me. Oh, another catch!

Nat: Yuzuki, did you get the hang of it?

Yuz: I don't know? Ei! ...This is Japanese amberjack, right?

Aka: The same as we had for lunch.

Aka: Really though, Yuzuki-chan, you got yourself nice muscles.

Yuz: ...Ha? What are you...?

Aka: Your arm muscles when you raise your line, or your leg muscles when you stand your ground, they're well enough proof.

Yuz: You've been watching me closely.

Aka: Do you like dancing? I'm sure you could make a skilled dancer.

Tam: Akamine, wait! Yuzuki just chose she's going to become a camper with Tama already!

Aka: But dancing is fun. Wanna try sometime? Just a little bit is fine.

Yuz: No, wait. Don't escalate the discussion without my consent...

Ren: It would seem Yuuna is intent on acquiring her long-desired dance partner.

Gin: I'm sure it's the same for Tamako-san. Ah, Renge-san. You have a catch.

Ren: Hmph, a fish wishing to be cooked by Miroku has presented itself. Haa!

Gin: Haa? What's this giant shadow!?

SHI: Is that... the master!? For real!?

Tam: A whole bunch of lobsters holding each other's tails in their claws into a giant lobster!? Is that the master's true form!?

Aka: That's crazy, Renchi.

Ren: Hmph, it is the bare minimum to pose a fair challenge to Miroku.

Tam: Don't dare lose! Let's get that giant catch!

Aka: I won't let you get all the credit for yourself. Let's catch it!

Ren: Miroku is ready anytime.

Yuz: (Thanks to all those lobsters, the camping or dancing discourse came to an end for now.)

Yuz: (Both sound fun to me though.)

[Kitchen area]

Its: ...Is that how I should crush the strawberries?

Yos: Yes. Put it to boil for 30 minutes, and it will be complete.

Its: That was much easier than I expected. I could even do this at home.

Its: Then I could try adding a secret flavor!

Its: Even onee-chan would give me the green light for experimenting if the basis is solid.

Yos: Indeed. I believe it would rejoice Inubouzaki Fuu-sama!

Suz: Were you listening, Mebu?

Meb: Yes...

Suz: Itsuki-chan... She's going to add some weird flavor.

Meb: In small quantity, it will not drastically alter the taste. Plus, Inubouzaki-san must be used to it by now...

Fuu: Itsuki... Is she doing okay? Aah, I'm worried.

Tou: You worry too much, Fuu-senpai. She isn't alone after all.

Tou: It would be problematic if the helper I asked for help with my strawberry botamochi was of no help.

Fuu: It was sudden, but if you're saying you want to commercialize these, I want to give a hand.

Fuu: It's springy and the taste is good... Nom. Munch... I understand how the owner must feel.

Hin: Tougou-san and Yuuki-san's botamochi certainly seems popular.

Tou: Yes, I intend for it to eventually become a staple of Kagawa confectionery.

Kar: It's pretty early for that.

Fuu: Here's Karin popping out of nowhere.

Kar: I didn't pop! I just came here because I thought you'd need some extra hands.

Tou: We can never have too much help. Thank you, Karin-chan.

Kar: So how is it going?

Tou: The strawberry botamochi recipe is co-owned with the orchard.

Tou: Reception and fame are the deciding factors in sales, to make a large amount and give it to many people is the step we are currently at.

Kar: Today's the weekend, that's the perfect occasion to have as many people eat them.

Yuu: Tougou-saan, I gave strawberry botamochi to some people who were picking strawberries.

Yuu: They all said they were delicious and didn't leave any.

Fuu: Commercialization is on the right track. It's time to strike.

Tou: Pay attention to hygiene, and let's keep making more.

Tou: Yuuna-chan, Karin-chan, will you make people taste botamochis and gather their impressions?

Yuu: Okay! Leave it to me!

Kar: Too easy.

[Orchard]

Yuu: Take your time and enjoy these strawberry botamochis.

Little kid 1: Thank you, onee-chan.

Yuu: I think you'll be able to pick strawberries soon, so be a good girl and wait.

[Kitchen area]

Fuu: I thought botamochi was popular...

Fuu: But to think that because the main event, being fruit picking, is so successful people who can't join are asking for botamochi...

Sum: This was beyond the orchard's expectations, and it seems like they cannot deal with the flux of people.

Fuu: Which is why the Hero Club will help for a little while.

Fuu: And we were supposed to have fun, sorry.

SON: Do not misplace your concern, Fuumin-senpai. This is what the Hero Club does~.

Uta: Following the orchard people's prediction, peak time will last for 1 to 2 hours.

Aya: Let's do our best to make the other visitors have fun.

Fuu: Tamako and your group, cooperate with the staff to regulate the number of people fishing.

Tam: We got this, leave it ta ma!

Uta: Mii-chan, Aya-chan and I will be guiding people around the relatively less busy fruit fields.

Uta: Hurry up, you two!

Fuu: Your speed is very helpful. Lastly, Mebuki and Yoshika.

Fuu: You two will be teaching the kids how to make jam, is this a reasonable request?

Meb: Yes, for sure.

Yos: I will work my hardest to answer your expectations!

Meb: Just relax. If you do it the same way as you did with Itsuki-chan, there's no problem.

Yos: Yes!

Fuu: Alright, I'll get to work too.

Meb: Then you put the jam in the bottle while it is hot. Please call me as to avoid burns.

Meb: So that you don't do it yourself, is it clear?

Kids: Yes!

Yos: Kusunoki-sama, I am terribly sorry, but are there strawberries remaining?

Meb: Everyone is using them up. Since people only have what they picked up.

Meb: Is there an issue?

Yos: Some children do not have enough in order to make jam. What should we do...?

Meb: What if we mixed strawberries and hassaku... It would taste weird. And we need to take preferences into account.

Yum: You seem to be quite in a pickle, Mebuki-san, Yoshika-san!

Meb: ...Miroku-san, Mito? What brings you here with all these strawberries?

Yum: Utano-san and the staff asked us to deliver these to you.

Mit: Apparently, at the field where people were picking strawberries earlier, there were less than any other...

Mit: Utanon noticed it.

Yos: Shiratori-sama is truly exceptional. She has saved us. Thank you very much.

Meb: Now even the kids who didn't have enough strawberries can start cooking.

Yum: Do you require my help for any other task? Mebuki-san.

Meb: Thank you. But there's really nothing else you can do.

Yum: Mebuki-san!? Are you implying myself to be useless!?

Meb: No, it meant that the two of us are already enough.

Yum: I-In that case, it cannot be helped.

Mit: Do your best, you two.

Yos: Let us make jam with the children again.

Meb: I'll be counting on you.

Yos: Yes. I will take care of it.

Yos: Um... We will be making jam using these strawberries. Let's begin by removing the stems and washing them.

Yos: Call out to me when you are done. We will be boiling the strawberries in sugar next.

Kids: Okaaay!

Fuu: Good work everyone. In conclusion, botamochi and fruit picking both had very good reception.

Fuu: And to have reduced the stress of people waiting in line with sugar, strawberry botamochi made an outstanding impression.

Tou: We did it, Yuuna-chan.

Yuu: It's thanks to you for making all of these.

Yuu: It would be nice if you could sell strawberry botamochi for real.

Fuu: Seeing how it went, isn't that already a given?

Sek: Photos may already be going around social media.

Tou: I will probably send you some once it does reach commercialization, look forward to it.

Fuu: ...Your quality check looks stricter than anywhere else.

SON: Ooi, I found Yuriri.

Fuy: Hey, I made you wait.

Yuz: Lily, what were you doing?

Fuy: Looking for a lost kid's parent.

Fuy: As the Hero Club's extra force... Rather, as a mobile unit, I was patrolling, and found a kid crying.

Yuz: A kid... looked after a kid!?

Fuy: That was rude, Yuzuki-kun...!

Yuz: I was just genuinely shocked.

Fuy: ...So anyway, I brought that kid back to their parents.

Yuz: Nice work. You did well.

Fuy: It wasn't much. Dealing with a kid is just exhausting.

SON: With her emergency mission, Yuriri did the most heroic action today~.

Fuy: I don't mind if you praise me as a crane in the clouds.(*1)

Yuz: I don't know what that means but don't say it about yourself.

Fuy: I was joking. Thanks for the predictable retort.

Meb: Lily doesn't look exhausted just yet. And today sure was a busy day.

Yos: I never would have expected it.

Meb: But it was fun. I cooked with you.

Yos: Thank you very much... I had fun as well.

Meb: Could we cook together again sometime? I'd like to try new dishes.

Yos: Thank you. Yes... By all means, I would like to.

Note 1: Dignified and elegant.
