Hanayui no Shou 26-4H

[Kouchi - beach]

Gin: What, for real!? What kind of UMAs are there in Kouchi?

Yum: I am hardly knowledgeable, but... Apparently there is something called a seadog.

Son: A seadog?

Sum: Is that different from a sea slug?

Yum: The seadog is a beast that appears from the sea waters and drags children who are alone into the sea.

Aya: Eeh!? There's such a scary monster...

Gin: Awesome! I want to hear more!

Yum: If a ship sets sail at night, you shall hear sounds of gnawing from the bow, and on inspection you shall find marks from large teeth... And so on.

Yum: If at night you hear sounds like "Ruru...ru...rururu..." from the beach, those are the seadog's cries... And so on.

Gin: Whoaaa! For real!? That's awesome! What a sense of romance!

Suz: I-I don't know about that! Gin-chan, I think your understanding of romance is different from mine!

Sum: From that of most people, I'd say...

Meb: Gin-chan, why did you want to hear about that?

Gin: Eh? Uh, well... What if it turns out to be useful? Like, if the UMA is actually a Vertex.

Shi: The seadog, a Vertex?..

Son: There was one time we were looking for a UMA called Bubbleman, and it turned out to be Gemini.

Meb: Eh? So monster spottings can be linked to our enemies... I missed that possibility before.

Suz: I see. Oh, so if we bring back this seadog story, that's a feather in our cap!

Sum: Ah, no, that...

Aya: Ah, a call from Fuu-senpai... Hello, this is Kokudo speaking.

Suz: Ah, Ayaya, give me the phone! Hello, this is Suzume, chirp chirp!

Suz: Yes! Our scouting is proceeding swimmingly! And I got my hand on some juicy info...

Suz: In Kouchi there is a terrifying monster called the seadog, and its true identity is that of a Ver-...

Suz: Huh? Are you listening? Fuu-san? Miss president? Hello?

Sum: Aaah...

Son: She definitely passed out from that.

Gin: Awawaw, this is bad! Please give me the phone! Hello!

Gin: Huh, Natsume-san? Eh? The seadog? To take pictures of it if it's cute? Okay.

Gin: A shot together with whom... Eh? Seadog and Pero? G-Got it...

Shi: Pero?

Gin: That's me.

Shi: Huh?

Gin: Uh, also, Suzume-san. Fuu-senpai's probably going to punish you when we're back.

Suz: Eeeh!? Why!? For what!?

Sum: UMAs truly are a dangerous subject... Haah.

Yum: Wait, I explained this in so much detail, so what happens to me!?
