Hanayui no Shou 26-1H

Concierge Yumiko - 1

[Kouchi - beach]

Yum: Aah. This breeze... This air... I am deeply touched.

Meb: Miroku-san, sorry to pull you out of your intoxication, but you do know what we're here for today, right?

Yum: What for? Why, is there something other than gazing upon the sea of Kouchi and being permeated in its air?

Suz: You're actually talking like being permeated in that air is our goal here...

Sum: Today we're here to scout out the Kouchi prefecture as the representatives of the Hero Club.

Shi: Scout out... This is the first time we've done that inside the wall.

Son: Don't worry, Shizuku-senpai. All we have to do is to check out how things are in Kouchi and report back!

Gin: Yep. And Kouchi is Miroku-san's birthplace, right? We'll be done right away.

Yum: Hohoho! But of course! Now, let our ship depart on our journey through Kouchi.

Suz: A ship as reliable as a boat made of mud.　[1]

Yum: Suzume-san! That was rude to the extreme! Please imagine a luxurious cruise ship!

Meb: So what now? This area is quiet, so where should we go for maximum efficiency?

Yum: Let me think... Even if I were to try and sum it up, Kouchi is a wide and profound area... Quite a conundrum.

Aya: Now that I remember, Wakaba-senpai and others began their scouting of Tokushima with investigating the local specialties.

Shi: Specialties? ...Why?

Yum: I see! Learn the local specialties and you shall learn the land. In that case, I can answer any of your questions!

Son: What is Kouchi famous for?

Yum: I am glad you asked! First of all, of course it has to be ski-...

Suz: Aside from skipjack tuna.

Yum: Aside from it!?

Sum: Uh... It's no problem if there's nothing else.

Yum: Of course there is! Kouchi is brimming with local specialties, just so you know!

Son: Oooh!

Yum: Yuzu, indispensible for skipjack tuna! The obvious yuzu ponzu sauce aside, there are yuzu drinks, shampoos and even hair conditioners!

Yum: They shall grant your hair a lovely smell and your skin smoothness!

Gin: Aah, Fuu-san would love that. Should we get her some yuzu soap as a souvenir?

Sum: But... The note Tougou-san gave me says "Important: eateries".

Aya: Ah, yeah. Back in Tokushima eateries were listed as an important point too.

Meb: Really?

Shi: Why...

Notes:
1 - The usual wordplay on "oobune ni noru" (lit. ride a big ship) - "to rely on someone" and dorobune (lit. mud boat) - something that's doomed to failure.
