What's this...?

It's yo-yos, yo-yos. I've brought them back for you as souvenirs before, remember?

I know that, but I didn't know they were supposed to be in water. Huh...

You're supposed to catch them on a hook, and fish 'em up like that. That's how you play this game, got it?

Uh-huh. All those bright red ones floating around like that, it's really pretty~ They're like blooming flowers.

The festival's got tsubaki flowers as its main theme, after all~ ...Oh.

???: ...Yaay, I did it, I caught it~

...Hm?



Got one~

That's great~ My string broke, though... *sniffle*...

Here, you can have my string. It's not broken yet, so you can try again. Try it one more time.

...Okay, ehehe, thank you!

Ooh...hey, Kurogitsune. Those kids sure are cute, huh.

Huh!? Are you saying those brats look different from other humans!?

No, I can't tell them apart at all, I just meant they're really close.

Oh...so that's what you meant... That's a relief, phew.

.......Why are you relieved at that?

I want that yo-yo with the big tsubaki flowers on it.

Yeah, that's the prettiest one. Okay, try aiming for it.

Okay! ...Umm, umm...

Yeeaahh, you can do it~ Catch that yo-yo~

Cheering that quietly makes you seem pretty suspicious, somehow...

It's fine isn't it, since I want them to catch it.

[pop.]

...Eek!

Ah...

...Aww...it broke...

She accidentally stabbed it with the wire.

My, my tsubaki yo-yo... *hic*...

Don't cry, I'll give you mine. Okay?

Okay...

That tsubaki yo-yo was so pretty that the Great Fox decided to take it. It can't be helped, so let's go somewhere else.

Yeah!



That was pretty bad luck huh, breaking the yo-yo like that.

Was it? If you're so bothered by it, why don't we give the game a try ourselves?

...No, let's not.

Well, yo-yos aren't gonna fill our bellies anyway. We don't have to try it today.

...Mmhm.

If it's not going to fill our bellies, there's no point in doing it.
