Hanayui no Shou 23-3E

The Heart - 3

[Streets]

Sek: Hmm. If it was a dog, all we would need to do is look downwards. But with a bird, we have to look above us too, what a hassle.

Aya: And if it's flying, we won't be able to catch it even if we do find it...

Uta: Should we scatter some bread?

Mit: I don't think we're going to attract anything but pigeons and sparrows...

Uta: Say, Mii-chan. What colour are hill mynas?

Mit: Black, right?

Uta: Eh... Wait, could it be... The one perched over there is-!

Aya: T-That's... a crow.

Sek: How come you don't know birds when you work the fields all the time?

Uta: A-Ahaha... Just a little mistake. I've never seen a hill myna, so!

Mit: But you've seen crows before...

Uta: I'm sorry, okay! I've got to say, there's a whole lot of crows around here. Look, there too.

Hill myna: Kyuu-chan!

Uta: Mon dieu! It spoke!

Mit: It just said "Kyuu-chan"! Utanon, catch it, quick!

Uta: Roger that! I'll transform and use my whip...

Mit: You can't! Akihara-san, please!

Sek: Gotcha! I'll transform and use my spear-!

Mit: That's even worse!

*wings flapping*

Uta/Sek: Ah.

Mit: Don't "Ah" me! We need to tell someone, quick!

Uta: Y-You're right! This is Cygne Blanc! Kyuu-chan fled, heading Ost!

Wak: Nogi Wakaba, roger that! Heading Ost immediately... Wait, which way is Ost again?

Sek: East! It means East!

Mit: Haah... I hope Nogi-san can catch it. Hm? Aya-chan, why are your eyes glittering?

Aya: Mito-senpai, your tsukkomis towards the Heroes are incredible! I'm learning a lot as a Miko!

Mit: That has nothing to do with being a Miko...

Sek: Nope. You made a precise tsukkomi when I got carried away by the flow. Your skills are definitely going up.

Mit: Please don't get carried away then! Jeez, this is terrible! In a lot of ways!

Wak: Haah, haah... Where are you, Kyuu-chan!? Where are you hiding!?

Hill myna: Kyuu-chan!

Wak: That voice!
