Auspicious bustle of the first sunrise - 2-3H

[Jukai]

Meb: Haaah!

Meb: Inubouzaki-san, the enemy is faltering! Please, the finishing strike!

Fuu: Okay, you got it! Take that!

Fuu: Did you see my girl power!?

Yum: That seems to have been the last of them.

Suz: Haah, I'm still alive.

Meb: This was somewhat of a hassle...

SON: This must be... The Vertexes' power increasing!

Meb: Really?

SON: Yeah. If the Vertexes are becoming stronger, then we need to increase the Shinju-sama's power too.

SON: The situation calls for an immediate second shrine visit! Kimonos mandatory!

Meb: I guess...

Fuu: Wait, Nogi, what's this about?

SON: Fuumin-senpai, this is a plan to make Mebu and the others wear kimonos.

Fuu: Huh?

SON: *mumble mumble mumble*

Fuu: Ah, I see. So that's how it is.

Fuu: *cough* So, Mebuki, you should go put on kimonos with the others and visit the shrine while there's time.

Fuu: Because apparently the sight of Heroes in kimonos pleases the Shinju-sama and makes it power up!

Suz: Is that actually true?.. Makes the Shinju-sama seem pretty vulgar...

Fuu: Y-Yeah, of course! It's obvious that this world works like that!

SON: And there's nothing vulgar about it either. The gods, you see, they like their ceremonies.

Yum: I have no objections. Looking beautiful in Japanese clothes is one of many duties for a daughter of an esteemed house.

Shi: Kusunoki. Going to a shrine in a kimono made me a little nervous, but it was a good memory.

Shi: So I can recommend that.

Meb: Hmm, I see...

Meb: We're treated the same as Heroes in this world. So we have to fulfill all their duties as well.

Meb: Got it, let's do it. Wear kimonos and visit the shrine again!

SON: That's right! I knew you'd say that, Mebu!

SON: See, Shizushizu, that's everything sorted out!

Shi: Thanks, Sonoko.

Meb: What are you two whispering about?

Shi: Nothing special. I'm glad you agreed, Kusunoki.

Meb: Sure. But I'm a little concerned about something.

Meb: If the Vertex attacks are this frequent, the kimono might impede our movement if the need arises...

SON: Mebu's so serious.

SON: Ta-da! Look at this picture I took with my phone!

Meb: Wha-!? What... is this!?
