YuYuYui - Stamp rally preparation

The place of memories - 1

[Hero Club room]

Tam: Alright, summer is the time to go camping, Masuzu, Anzu, what do you think of next weekend?

Aki: So it's summer camping... Wait, you just want to go camping.

Anz: Right. Tamcchi-senpai, you go camping all throughout the year.

Tam: Camping has different seasonal ways to be enjoyed! And I have so many things I haven't taught you yet!

Aki: Fine, I get it. Fuu-chan is here, the discussion will wait until next time.

Fuu: Sorry for asking you all to gather here. I'd like to ask for your advice.

Aki: If it was so sudden, then is it a request for the Hero Club?

Fuu: Correct! The city of Sanshuu is organizing a stamp rally.

Fuu: And our request is to give them ideas of places to put the stamps.

Fuu: They said to pick places where wonderful memories are likely to be created.

Kar: Seeing as we need to go to all sorts of places for our Hero Club activities, we are qualified for this.

Yuu: We can present places we like, right? I have a lot of them, but I can't choose, right? Tougou-san.

Tou: Every place I've spent time with Yuuna-chan is precious to me... It's hard to decide.

Kar: I'll say it because I'm worried...

Kar: Don't pick places that hold memories with Yuuna, but places the participants would enjoy.

Tou: Of course, no need to worry.

Kar: ...Then, it's fine.

Fuy: What a great opportunity to check what this city has become in this era. This sounds interesting, Yuzuki-kun.

Yuz: But I'm more shocked that the request came from a municipal government...

Son: Yuzuki-senpai. It's because of the trust they have in us and our prior achievements.

Fuy: This Hero Club isn't playing around.

Yuz: The one you made doesn't hold a candle to this one.

Fuy: You really said it... Everything from our encounter was because of the Hero Club!

Yuz: Even I don't know why I did it... Wait, this doesn't matter right now.

Fuu: This seemed very interesting, but let's get back on topic for a bit.

Fuu: To make it easier to pick from your propositions, the city hall people would like photos to go alongside.

Fuu: Also, they want locations that are easy to access. Absolutely no dangerous places.

Tam: Places where if you walk a bunch, you can enjoy a beautiful scenery would be nice!

Anz: But little kids may participate.

Fuu: I forgot to say it, but you're totally free to make one proposition as a group of several people.

Fuy: In short, solidarity will allow us to complete this request successfully.

Tou: Solidarity... By concentrating our efforts, we will be stronger together.

Fuu: I'm leaving it to you then!


The place of memories - 2

[Hero Club room]

Uta: Let's go, Mii-chan! To my fruitful farm!

Mit: Eeh!? Don't tell me... You want to nominate your fields?

Uta: Of course! They'll be greeted by seasonal vegetables like eggplants, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes!

Uta: Having vegetables as presents along with the stamp would make people happy, don't you think!?

Mit: Yes, people would probably like it, but... I'm not sure about a residential area.

Mit: Huh, she's gone!? Wait, Utanon.

Wak: Utano sure is brimming with motivation. Hinata, let us go.

Hin: What a scatterbrain you are for not choosing a destination before going.

Hin: Although, this could prove to be a good opportunity to find a nice place together.

Hin: Camera and Wakaba-chan ready... I can't wait to put them to use.

Wak: This time... There is no need to photograph me. You're aware of that, Hinata? You won't do it, right?

Hin: This is pretend, isn't it? If Wakaba-chan is pretending... then I must answer to it beautifully!

Wak: ...Pretend? I don't know what you're talking about, but let's go.

Hin: Yes. I want to take many photos.

Fuy: Hinata-san already took a photo.

Yuz: Seems like it. I've heard she liked to take photos of Wakaba, but I didn't know it was that pronounced.

Fuy: She surely gives it a lot of thought...

Yuz: Really? So where are we going?

Fuy: Aah, there's a few places I'd like to check out.

[Beach]

Fuy: The sea is nice... It feels like it cleanses my heart.

Yuz: If you wanted to see it, we could've went from the start.

Yuz: And yet we went to Kannonji-Sorry, to Sanshuu station, what did you want to do?

Fuy: Didn't I tell you? I want to see what it became in this era.

Fuy: What did you think?

Yuz: What... Some details are different, but it's pretty much the same station I know.

Fuy: Exactly! Even though it's been centuries. What a strange world this is.

Yuz: Well, when you're living with Heroes of the past and the future, everything else feels like minor issues.

Fuy: Yes, your simple side is truly great. Everything can't just be complex.

Yuz: That wasn't a compliment.

Fuy: But it was. It's about as amazing as the sea from Ariake beach!

Yuz: (...Saying whatever she pleases again.)

Fuy: Now we can be done with our duty at any time. So anyway, I'm going somewhere else.

Yuz: Haa?

Fuy: I remembered somewhere I wanted to go.

Yuz: Then I'm going with you.

Fuy: No, we couldn't submit it as a location for the stamp rally, so I can't ask you to come along.

Fuy: On that, Yuzuki-kun, see you later!

Yuz: Do what you want. ...She tripped pretty badly just now... Since she's running on sand.

Yuz: So what am I going to do, now? It's so hot, guess I'll go back...


The place of memories - 3

[Bridge]

Yuz: So, what now...

Gin: Yuzuki-saan!

Yuz: Mh? It's these 3 I see over there.

Sum: Oh? Are you by yourself?

Yuz: Lily left somewhere earlier.

Son: Then Yuzuki-senpai. Would you like to go with us?

Yuz: Sure, I don't mind.

Gin: Yaay!

Sum: Have you already found a place to submit for the stamp rally?

Yuz: Yeah. We went to the sea together.

Gin: Eeh, that's great. If I went to the stamp rally, that'd make me wanna go for a swim.

Yuz: That wouldn't be fit for a stamp rally.

Yuz: By the way, where are you headed?

Son: Fufufu, in fact, we're submitting this bridge right here.

Son: The landscape is nothing special, but the 3 arches are beautiful, and the bridge would make for good photos~.

Sum: And after taking a few pictures, we decided to go to the bridge.

Yuz: Now that you mention it, this bridge gives off a good striking impression. Even though it's not something you normally pay attention to.

Gin: Right. Because we use it all the time, we never got a good look at it before given this occasion.

Son: Which is exactly why it's great event-wise~.

Yuz: You think a lot for someone so small, Sonoko-chan...

Yuz: Oh, right. There's something I've wanted to ask Sonoko-chan and Sumi-chan for a while.

Sum: Yes, what is it?

Yuz: How does it feel hanging out with your future selves? Ah, but I'm not forcing you to answer, of course.

Son: Uum. It was a huge shock at first, but it's fun, and in a way, she's my best match.

Son: It's exciting to wonder if I'm also going to be like her in a few years.

Sum: I think the same as Sonocchi. Tougou-san is a wonderful yamato nadeshiko, and I ought to be as diligent as her.

Yuz: I see. You're amazing... you 2. I probably wouldn't think about it the same way.

Son: Maybe you'd get used to it surprisingly well, Yuzuki-senpai.

Gin: Aren't you actually getting used to this strange situation you're in?

Yuz: ...Thinking about it has no point. For now, I'll use my head and body to find locations for the stamp rally.

Gin: There's a big park this way, you can go flower watching in the spring there.

Sum: Perhaps someone from the Hero Club has been there before.

Son: Where could everyone else be, right now~?


The place of memories - 4

[Shrine grounds]

Chi: Haa... We're finally here.

Tak: ...Of course climbing 400 steps would be exhausting. I think I'll rest a little before praying.

Yos: Koori-sama, Takashima-san. Accept this water.

Chi: Thank you, Hanamoto-san. You're saving me.

Tak: I drank all of mine on the way. Thanks. Gulp... U~m, delicious!

Aki: Hey, wait! Hanamoto-chan, where's mine!?

Yos: You still have the one you bought for yourself, don't you?

Aki: Well, yeah! But I don't want warm sports drink right now, but cold water~.

Yos: It cannot be helped... Have a bottle of mineral water I bought in large quantity to prepare for the return.

Aki: Thank you, Hanamoto-chan!

Aki: Hey, Hanamoto-chan. Do you know what kind of shrine this is?

Yos: Including the toori gate, it has been replaced with the Taisha's, but it has a history since its construction spanning more than 1000 years.

Tak: Eeh, this shrine is that old.

Yos: Minamoto no Yoshitsune prayed here for his victory in the Genpei war, you could pray to the god of victory here, during the Christian era.

Chi: I thought it was just a regular shrine, but if that's the case, it might be a good spot for a stamp.

Aki: Let's take a photo of our stamp rally location candidate! Everyone, gather!

Tak: Right, let's start with one! Gun-chan, come here, Yoshika-chan too!

Yos: If you would... excuse me.

Chi: Please come a little closer.

Yos: ...Y-Yes!

Aki: Alright, here I go. Snap!

Aki: Good, good, a nice picture of everyone.

Chi: Are you sure about this photo? We should take the toori gates or the surrounding area.

Aki: Why not? It looks more fun that way.

Yos: We will... submit it to an official administration. Please reconsider it, Aki-senpai.

Aki: Eeh. But it's fine. Probably.

Tak: I think it's okay too. I can't express it too well, but I have the feeling it's perfect for a stamp rally.

Yos: ...What do you mean by this?

Tak: You know. You can imagine the participants having fun with their friends.

Tak: This is just right for people who want to make memories.

Chi: ! I agree with Takashima-san. Let's use the photo from earlier.

Yos: Eeh... As one would expect of Takashima-san... How perceptive. The distant landscape may be better than the shrine itself.

Tak: Isn't it great, Masuzu-san. These two are convinced!

Aki: Except the sudden change of mind.

Chi: ...

Yos: Aki-senpai, Koori-sama and Takashima-sama are absolutely right. There is no issue here.

Aki: Ahaha, well, let's leave it at that. It's very like you.

Tak: Alright, let's go pray to wrap things up!


The place of memories - 5

Gin: This park is so vast, you can even bathe in the sea and camp in the summer.

Yuz: Huh...

Yuz: (Looking closely, this kinda reminds me of the past.)

Sum: Was the beach you visited with Fuyou-san earlier the one in front of this park?

Yuz: Yeah. The view is great. I used to come to this beach.

Son: Could it be! A place that holds memories with Lily-senpai?

Yuz: This beach... Lily and I came here plenty of times, but it's not anything like that.

Son: I thought it was a memory spot~.

Yuz: Having expectations won't change the truth...

Sum: Stop bothering Yuzuki-san, Sonocchi.

Son: Ehehe, I got my hopes up on my own. Ah, let's take a photo before we forget.

Sum: Our official submission is now complete.

Gin: I'd like to picnic here when it gets a little cooler.

Yuz: Agreed. It's too hot in this season...

Sum: Let's go flower viewing when the spring comes. The cherry blossoms here are beautiful.

Yuz: It feels like it'll be something impressive with the entire Hero Club.

Son: More than you'd expect, Yuzuki-senpai.

Gin: Putting the plans for the future discussion on hold, what're we doing now? Sumi.

Sum: We still have time, how about we go to the shrine?

Tak: Ah, Yuzuki-chan, Sumi-chan. Ooi!

Sum: Were you also praying?

Chi: Yes. Hanamoto-san was the one who taught me, but this shrine has a long history.

Sum: We were on our way there as well.

Yos: At this moment... You may want to give up on the idea.

Aki: There's around 400 steps, pretty harsh, don't you agree?

Son: It sounds hard. What do we do~?

Gin: Actually, I didn't want to mention it, but I'm starving right now.

Sum: ...

Yuz: Sumi-chan. What about praying when you will participate in the stamp rally?

Sum: Right. I will wait until that time.

Tak: Then let's get udon on the way back!


The place of memories - 6

[Kameya]

Gin: Kameya is the place for udon. Right!

Aki: Udon is so good here.

[Kameya - inside]

Fuy: The flavor of this broth... is quite great again today. Munch...

Yuz: Lily!?

Fuy: If it isn't Yuzuki-kun. And you're well accompanied, I see. Come on, take a seat.

Son: Look, look. This is the photo we took for the stamp rally.

Fuy: How unconventional, a bridge for a stamp rally is a good idea.

Aki: And we got one of the the shrine.

Gin: Eeh. So that's what the shrine is like there.

Son: The view from up here seems gorgeous~.

Chi: You feel the sense of accomplishment coursing through your body after climbing all these steps...

Fuy: It's my turn, next. Behold pondering Yuzuki-kun gazing over the sea!

Yuz: When did you take that!?

Fuy: Hahaha, it was a joke. Oh, your udon just got here. Go on, and eat.

Yuz: Phew... I'm full. By the way, how did it go for you after we split up?

Fuy: I travailed quite a lot. To this world's... wall.

Yuz: ...You.

Fuy: Of course I'd be curious. This wall is still there towering over everything.

Yuz: That's obvious. But you can tell from far away.

Fuz: True, but I had to. It's important to see things for yourself.

Yuz: Nicely done considering you have no stamina.

Fuy: ...I got into a taxi midway. But I'm going to sleep soundly tonight thanks to that.

[A few weeks later]

[Sanshuu middle school hallway]

Son: Ah, Lily-senpai. Yuzuki-senpai. Look, it's the poster for the stamp rally.

Yuz: Let me see, I see Masuzu-senpai's shrine photo has been adopted.

Gin: With a familiar field, you can feel Sanshuu's broad-mindedness...

Sum: Everyone is brimming with love for udon as they enter kameya.

Fuy: From what I can get from this poster, participating would grant you a deep knowledge of this city.

Fuy: Yuzuki-kun, let us participate together!

Yuz: Well, sure.

Fuy: Then it's decided. Sumi-kun, Sonoko-chan, Gin-chan, what about you?

Gin: Of course!

Sum: Then we will begin by praying at the shrine. It would be best to go while we still have stamina.

Yuz: I'm absolutely certain Lily will get exhausted halfway by these steps if she's already tired.

Fuy: I would like for you to not make fun of me. I take pride in getting exhausted without being tired prior.

Yuz: Don't be proud of that.

Son: I can't wait for the day of the event~.
