YuYuYui - Secret base

Our secret base - 1

[Hero Club room]

Tam: There were so many enemies, even Tama was shocked, but I still beat them up easy!

Gin: You're amazing, Tamako-san!

Meb: I hear you're having fun. What is the story about?

Son: Tamako-senpai's heroic tales~. She has a lot of stories ranging from camping to battles, and they're great~.

Meb: It sounds entertaining. Can I listen with you?

Tam: Of course! For heroic tales, leave it ta ma! What do you wanna hear about next?

Son: What about the story of how you made a secret base on a tree~?

Tam: A-Aah... That story...

Gin: A secret base on a tree!?

Sum: Please tell us this story!

Tam: That one's not too bad, but I've got much better stories than this... For example... Uuh...

Meb: Would it be a bad thing for people to know about it?

Tam: I wouldn't say that, but...

Gin: Does your secret base still exist?

Sum: If so, please take us there!

Tam: Uuh, that won't be... Actually... It collapsed right after I finished it...

Gin: Eeh, why?

Meb: Let me guess, was there a bulding issue with the foundation?

Tam: H-How do you...! You were watching, Mebu!?

Meb: Seems like I hit the mark. Trees are unstable places to build. You cannot do anything without a proper foundation.

Meb: Amateurs tend to exclusively focus on the walls and roof, I assumed it was also the same in your case.

Meb: While we're on this subject, what material did you use for the foundation and the walls?

Meb: If you build with wood laying around, the building will start crooking as soon as humidity shifts...

Tam: Gyeh, I pressed her buttons! But it was my heroic tales time...

Sum: Listening made me feel bad for her.

Son: Should we leave so it doesn't look like we heard~?

Gin/Son/Sum: Sneak...

[Hallway]

Gin: A secret base... I want us to build one!

Sum: Gin, didn't you listen to Mebuki-san? It's dangerous for beginners to build one.

Gin: Don't worry, failure is the mother of success! We just gotta make sure it's not dangerous.

Son: Yes, yes, Tamako-san has become the sacrifice for our dream.

Gin/Son: Praise be her!

Sum: Jeez, you two.

Son: We mourned Tamako-senpai's failure too~!

Gin: Let's start building our secret base!

Son: Ooh~!

Sum: Gin, Sonocchi, wait! Jeez...


Our secret base - 2

[Sanshuu middle school - Passageway]

Gin: First order of business is to pick a location! What about the forest where the hill is?

Son: Sounds like a great place! Let's go there~!

Sum: Gin, Sonocchi, wait!

SON: Oh~, are you three going out?

Tou: You seem eager, where are you going?

Gin: Ehehe... Well, you see...

Sum: It's a secret!

Gin: Hey, Sonoko, isn't Sumi actually more into this than I imagined?

Son: Looks like it, she may even be more enthusiastic than us~!

SON: If it's a secret, I'm even more curious~.

Tou: We'll keep your secret safe. Can't you tell us?

Sum: No, not even to the two of you.

SON: Hey~, Sonocchi~. We're the same person, aren't we~?

Son: The rule is absolute, even for myself... I won't betray the secret!

SON: That's how far you'll go to protect your promise! Then Sonocchi, I'll watch over you anytime!

SON: If you ever find yourself in trouble, call me right away! Keep that in mind!

Son: Sonoko-senpai!

SON/Son: Hug!!

[Forest]

Gin: They didn't follow us, did they?

Sum: It's fine, they promised they'd watch over us from far away.

Son: That aside, I'm happy you like the idea so much, Wasshi♪

Gin: Of course she does, there's no such thing as an elementary schooler who doesn't get excited hearing the words secret base!

Sum: I-I only... tagged along because I was worried you might choose a dangerous location...

Son: Aah, look! A suspended bridge over the river~!

Gin: The bridge should protect it from the rain, is under it a good spot?

Sum: Absolutely not, it would be dangerous if the river were to suddenly flood under bridge.

Son: Too bad. Then what about this cave over there?

Gin: Ooh, rocks everywhere around us, that's what I call a secret base!

Sum: I can't guarantee the safety of this place either. You can never be sure if rocks will fall.

Gin: No good again. Mmh, is there anywhere we could make a safe and nice secret base?

Sum: It wouldn't be a secret base if it was that easy.

Son: Ha! Hawawawa...! Heeey, come over here!

Gin: Hm? What's up, Sonoko?

Son: Look, on the other side of this bush...

Sum: Ha, an abandoned house...!

Gin: Awesome, that's what I'm talking about!

Gin: It's not in too bad shape, and we're far from rocks and the river, it's perfectly safe, right?

Sum: It would seem that way...

Gin: Then we're settled! This will be the location of our secret base!


Our secret base - 3

[Forest]

Gin: It's crazy to think you found the ideal place. Well done, Sonoko!

Son: Ehehe, you're flattering me~. Let's not wait around and get inside.

Sum: Wait! No you can't do that, this is certainly someone's property.

Gin: Eeh, but it's clearly been abandoned for years.

Son: If we clean it, maybe it'll make the owner happy~?

Sum: It would be nice if they were this kind, but what if they aren't?

Gin: We would apologize a whole lot, and return it cleaned?

Sum: Mmh... You can't deal with the consequences later. You have to get permission first.

Gin: But we don't even know who's the owner. It's fine, just a little and nobody will find out.

Sum: I disagree. Let's go find another place.

Gin: But maybe someone owns every other place.

Sum: Haa... This discussion is going nowhere. I'm against entering without permission.

Gin: Following your line of reasoning, this forest is someone property, no? Then we're already trespassing.

Sum: Ha! Now that you mention it, we didn't consider the forest's owner.

Gin: Then this building's no problem, right? Sonoko. ...Huh? Where's Sonoko?

Sum: She left a while ago. I wonder where she went.

Son: Sorry, sorry, I'm back~! I made a call and got the authorization~.

Sum: Authorization? What for?

Son: To enter this abandoned building.

Gin/Sum: Eeh!?

Son: This forest is Taisha property, Sonoko-senpai talked to them to see if there was a way.

Son: Then she mumbled something to a Taisha higher-up!

Son: And now the Hero Club is free to use this building and forest as they want!

Gin: Awesome, that's Sonoko & Sonoko-san for you!

Son: Bottom line is, we can enter, Wasshi! ...What? Wasshi isn't here.

Gin: Where did she go...? ...Aah! She's already inside!

Sum: Hurry up, you two! The inside is bigger than it looks!

Gin: What's up with the sudden interest?

Sum: Having gotten the permission, we can freely enjoy it. Now, let's craft a renovation plan.


Our secret base - 4

[Several days later]

[Secret base]

Gin: Alright, we have tools and materials. We're ready to start renovations!

Sum: Starting off with grass cutting around the building.

Son: Aye aye sir~!

[Secret base - front]

Gin: Orya, orya!

Son: Wah~, Mino-san, you're great at cutting grass.

Gin: I didn't imagine the farming skills Utano-san taught me would come in handy for this.

Sum: The base's vicinity is now perfectly clean. Our next task will be to repair the roof and outer walls.

Gin/Son: Roger!

Gin: Woah, the roof is coming off! If we don't do something, the rain is gonna leak inside.

Sum: Gin, be careful not to fall.

Son: Are you okay on your own? Do you want us to help you?

Gin: With the 3 of us, the roof would collapse. You can keep fixing the walls.

Sum: Acknowledged. We'll make sure to seal up every crack the wind could pass through.

Son: Hm. This is so exciting. It's our secret base~♪ Secret secret secret base~♪

Gin: Great! The roof and walls are fixed! Next up it's finally time for cleaning the inside!

[Secret base]

Son: Cough, cough, that's a lot of dust.

Gin: I wish I brought a vacuum cleaner.

Sum: Even if you did, there's no electricity.

Sum: That is when we need the ancestral Japanese cleaning method! A cloth and a duster are all we need.

Son: Flap flap flap♪ Clean our base from top to bottom~♪ A duster to clean it all♪

Gin: Sweep sweep sweep♪ A cloth to make it squeaky clean from top to bottom♪

Sum: The cloth is already dark. We scooped up water from the river, use it to clean it off.

Gin/Son: Okay!

Son: Flap flap flap♪

Gin: Sweep sweep sweep♪

Sum: It's so clean you can hardly tell it's the same place.

Son: Yes, yes, it doesn't have furniture or decorations yet though.

Gin: Let's bring things we like here one at a time.

Son/Sum: Yes!

Son: This is our secret base... Secret joint ownership... The start of love♪

Sum: L-Love!? I didn't work this hard for this reason...

Gin: Sumi, what're you blushing for? I love you two, you know.

Sum: Jeez! Don't also start teasing me!

Son: Why not~!? This is our secret base of love!

Son: Hawawawa! This would make a great romance novel title~! My creative urges are rising~!

Son: I know! This will be my second study!

Gin: Oh nice! Then it'll be my second playroom!

Sum: In that case, I make it my second tea room.

Gin: Dreams getting bigger! Having a secret base is the beeeest!


Our secret base - 5

[The next day]

[In the forest]

Gin: Heave-ho, heave-ho!

Sum: Gin, what are you carrying inside this large bag?

Gin: Lots of board games to play together!

Son: I've got a bunch of notebooks to write ideas for my new work!

Sum: It will make it much livelier. Oh...? Someone is standing in front of our base.

Gin: Looks like an adult in work clothes, I can't see them clearly, but she's talking to someone behind her.

Son: Are we having uninvited guests!?

Sum: It may be dangerous to go inside for the moment. Let's hide in the bushes and observe.

Gin: Gotcha!

Son: Stare... She look focused on her discussion...

Sum: Oh, her work clothes have the Sanshuu city embroidery. Is she a municipal worker?

Gin: Maybe... Did they find out what we did and come to scold us?

Son: Eh~, but I even got authorization from the Taisha~.

Gin: Huh? The person the adult is talking to, is it Shizuku-san?

Son: You're right~! What is Shizuku-senpai doing here?

Sum: You didn't tell anyone about our base, did you?

Son: No, no. Sonoko-senpai even said she'd keep it a secret.

Gin: Then what's Shizuku-san doing with a city worker...?

Sum: We won't get any closer to figuring it out by hiding. Let's directly ask.

Gin: Right, we'll protect our secret base!

Sum: Excuse us, Shizuku-san?

Shi: Washio... Minowa and Nogi... Why?

Gin: That's our line! Shizuku-san, how did you hear about our secret base?

Shi: Secret base...? Here? Who's...?

Son: Ooh~? You came here without knowing?

Shi: I was walking... I found a house... And this person was...

Municipal worker: Since she was alone in the forest, I called out to her thinking she was lost.

Gin: I see. But why is someone working for the city here? We got the permission...

Municipal worker: Yes, the Taisha has informed us. I seem to have scared you, I apologize.

Municipal worker: I've come here today to verify the nearby river's water quality.

Municipal worker: I'm relieved to know that nobody is lost. I'll be going then.

Municipal worker: It's dark at night, make sure you go home before sunset.

Gin/Sum/Son: Okay!

Shi: Then... I'm leaving too.

Gin: Eeh, you're going!?

Shi: Because it's your secret base... right? If I got in... It wouldn't be secret...

Gin: Don't be so serious, let's all play together.

Shi: I can?

Son: Of course~. It must be fate if you're here♪

Shi: Are you... sure?

Gin: Don't worry so much. We're the Shinju-kan alliance! Your allies!

Sum: Since you're in the know, you're now sharing the secret with us!

Shi: I see... then... Sorry for intruding.

Gin: That's right! Welcome to our secret base's first guest!


Our secret base - 6

[Secret base]

Gin: Welcome Shizuku-san, come in!

Shi: Wah... It's so pretty.

Son: We worked hard to clean the place~♪ Lots of flaps and sweeps♪

Sum: We brought snacks and drinks, why don't we have a toast.

Shi: That too...!

Gin: Ahem, then I'll be the lead! To our secret base!

Shi/Son/Sum/Gin: Cheers!

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/yuyuyu/images/0/09/Card_image_304170.png

Son: Mmh~, snacks have a special flavor when you eat them in your secret base~.

Gin: The taste of potato chips is about 5 times more secret!

Shi: Eheh... What's secret tasting...?

Gin: It's about the mood, the m o o d !

Gin: But still, I can't help but feel like it's a waste that only we're allowed this fun.

Son: We could invite the Hero Club members one after another, what do you think?

Sum: It wouldn't stay a secret that way. But... it's more enjoyable with everyone else.

Gin: Starting today, it's not our secret base, but the Hero Club's secret base, what about this?

Sum/Shi/Son: Agreed!

Gin: Hey, did you hear something outside?

Son: What...? Is it uninvited guests this time~!?

Sum: For the time being, let's pretend we're not here and wait for whoever it is to leave.

???: Huh~? There's no one here?

???: I thought I heard voices before.

Shi: These voices...

Sum: Aah, Shizuku-san, don't open the door...!

Gin: Tougou-san and Sonoko-san!

SON: Sorry for the scare~. We got curious and came to check it out♪

Gin: Right, you found out the moment you got Sonoko the authorization!

Tou: We could confirm you were having fun, we can now head back.

SON: Yep. Ah, those are some cream puffs. Eat them together.

Gin: Wait a second! Why don't you join us since you're already here?

SON: Are you sure~? Even though it's supposed to be your secret base?

Shi: It's a secret... Once you know... you become an accomplice...

Tou: I see, it does make sense. Then with pleasure.

Gin: Once again, to our secret base!

Everyone: Cheers!
