You're good to go, Kotoha-chan!

Hey, Kotoha!

Danger!

Attention, citizens!
Today, at the Sakura Newtown shopping district's main street,
the Sakura Festival will be held.
Please be sure to spread the word and stop by!
Also, the lost kids center and the complimentary rest area
have been set up inside the tents in front of the Hiizumi Counseling Office.
If you have any further questions or concerns,
feel free to contact us at the Hiizumi Counseling Office.
Newtown
Sakura Festival
Do you like goldfish?
Hello there.
Do you need any help?
Hello.
Oh, you speak Japanese.
Hello. She's Kotoha. And I'm Touka.
Nice to meet you.
Are you by yourself?
Yeah.
Do you know where your mom and dad are?
Newtown 2(5)
Hi! Anything come up?
Everything's in order!
"Second block: Nothing to report."
Hime-chan!
She has her memo pad!
It's the Himemo!
Tsun-tsun-dere-tsun-dere-tsun-tsun!
Milady!
Call me "Mayor" while we're on the job!
As you wish, Mayor!
What is it?
I believe the Sakura Festival is today.
And?
Please behave in a manner befitting of a mayor.
Hey, I know!
Don't treat me like I'm an out-of-control kid!
I'm merely speaking out of concern for your health, milady.
Mayor!
Mayor.
I've gone through the third block, so let us head to the festival.
Jeez, Kotoha-chan, be quiet!
You almost had it.
Another try, mister!
Okay!
Just leave it to me!
Have you done this before, Kotoha-chan?
I'll show you why I'm known as the God Hand of Sakura Newtown!
Oh, I see.
So you gotta put it in gently.
You're kidding. Is that all you've got, Kotoha-chan?
Didn't you learn anything from watching her try?
Thin water-soluble paper on a plastic, 102 mm, hilted frame!
Called a poi!
POI
That's cheating, Kotoha-chan!
Come on!
No cheating allowed!
What?!
Oh, did that surprise you?
It's an ability called Powerspeak. It lets me summon objects by describing them.
Are you a kind of Beast?
Me? No, I'm a Beastling.
Well, I guess that makes me half Beast.
Sorry, sorry.
Could this be your first time in this town?
Have this!
This is for you, Hime-chan!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for your work!
Hey, Hime!
Way to patrol, Hime-chan, Onii-chan.
Milady—I mean, Mayor! You've already eaten too much!
Are you saying I should have turned down their gratitude?
What's wrong?
A lost kid.
We were hoping her parents would come back, so we've been waiting here.
Hi! I'm the mayor, Yarizakura Hime. Nice to meet you!
A Beast?
Sure is.
Hm? Me?
Nah.
I'm human.
It seemed like my Powerspeak surprised her.
You know, this town is a place where Beasts and humans live together.
Can you see those big column-like things over there?
Those are the Seven Pillars—big cherry trees.
They help guide the Beasts to this town.
Then, the Beasts settle down and live in peace here.
I doubt you've seen any Beasts in other towns, so it might be surprising at first.
Oh, what's your name?
Lily.
Lily? What a cute name.
You're a foreigner, huh?
Don't worry!
There are Beasts here,
but we're really all the same no matter where we're from!
If you need help with anything, just let me know!
What a weird way to put it.
That's Hime-chan for you.
Let's find your parents.
Do you remember where you lost them?
Then let's take her to Akina-san
and ask Ao-chan to check her and try finding them!
Good idea.
In that case, I'll take her.
You two can stay on your patrol.
There are plenty of people from out of town, like her, so call me if anything happens.
Roger!
Okay...
Let's go, Lily-chan.
Kyousuke, the fourth block is yours!
Okay, mi... Mayor.
The Seven Pillars...
I can hardly contain my disgust.
Those clueless fools just passing the time...
Let's try shaking things up a bit.
Merely a gentle nudge to start.
Lost Kids Center
Sakura
Town
Lost Kids Center
Boys shouldn't be bawling their eyes out.
Girls won't like you.
He's crying because you're not sharing the game.
Hey, don't cry!
It's snack time!
He made them himself!
They're yummy!
Here.
It's sakura mochi!
Mine!
No!
Hey!
Don't take his!
Here.
Thanks a bunch!
I'm so sorry it took so long!
You're late, stupid!
Oh, here. You can have it.
My shift just took so long.
Really? Thanks!
Thanks, Akina-kun.
Sounds like the police has it rough too.
Oh, it's great that the town's bustling like this, though.
How could you leave us here? We aren't lost kids!
Sorry about that. But no need to be so upset.
How about some takoyaki on the way home?
No!
Okonomiyaki!
Thanks!
Bye-bye!
Hey, Ao, you can take a break.
You want to see the festival, right?
Huh? What are you saying?
Work comes first!
I'm a model worker, after all!
You've already checked it out, huh?
Good work today, Yuri-san.
Help yourself!
Okay, thanks.
Hello!
Hey, Rin.
I brought you your order, Akina-san.
What? I didn't order anything.
Huh? But I got a note saying to bring it at this time.
It's mine!
So it was Hime-san's?
Thank goodness.
Right on time, just as I expected.
Make sure to pay for it.
Of course.
It seems like she lost her parents.
Oh, dear.
Could you ask Ao to check who her parents are?
Sure thing.
Hello. I'm the director here, Hiizumi Akina.
Nice to meet you.
Well, come this way.
We have some yummy sakura mochi.
Ao!
Y-Yes?
Could you take a look at her? Her name's Lily.
Oh, sure, not a problem!
Here, let's play together.
Oh, no. That's not what I meant.
I'm talking about this.
Think you can figure out who her mom and dad are?
Wh-What to do...
Hime and the others couldn't find them, apparently.
I'll give it a try then.
Hello. I'm Nanami Ao.
I'm a satori, and we can read people's minds.
A Beast?
That's right!
Let me see what's on your mind, okay?
Sound good?
Well then, close your eyes and try thinking about your mom and dad.
Okay, here we go.
Um... Uh...
So? Did you see them?
Yes. I guess I did, but...
Like this.
What in the world?
I think it's just Ao's drawing.
Sheesh, this is really how they looked!
Ao's a Beast.
Are you a Beast too, Akina?
Huh? Me? I—
What? That scared me.
W-Was that...
lightning?
Kotoha-chan!
Touka! Get everyone out of here.
I'll go stop it.
R-Roger.
That god damn cat just had to show up on the day of the festival.
Ouch!
At least let us enjoy our fireworks.
At any rate, that wasn't much of an assault.
Perhaps he's testing the waters.
No idea.
You stay right here, Yae.
We just watch over them.
Don't forget the covenant of the local gods.
I know.
A giant goldfish is on the loose?
I've got it under control!
Piece of cake!
Wait up!
Everyone! Please don't panic!
Please calm down!
You're the one panicking here.
No one here's scared.
Honestly.
We'll take care of the rest,
so we'll leave that fish to you guys.
I'm perfectly fine.
Say hi to Hime-chan and the others for me!
Sure.
We're counting on you.
Thank you.
Shortcut: Box! Box! Box! Box!
Revenge time.
I remember it!
Shortcut: A huge poi!
Please, hold it!
Got it! It's over, Hime!
Good work!
I'll head over now.
Something's up.
Yeah.
Entertain me...
just a bit longer.
What was that just now?!
We've got a big goldfish here too!
For there to be this much lightning...
I'll call you later.
Ao!
What's up?
How many are there?
Just a second!
Ready, and...
Satellite!
Found them!
I got it! There's eight in all!
Eight? That's a lot!
Wait, Ao, you eating something?
No, nothing!
So, where exactly are they?
Hold up!
Gimme ten secs!
Hurry up!
You're good to go, Kotoha-chan!
I'm tired of waiting.
Shortcut: big fish tank!
Big fish tank!
Kotoha!
Pigeons?!
Hey, Kotoha!
Kotoha-chan, your fish tank turned into pigeons!
What?
Why?!
This is...
Jeez, what the hell's going on?!
Cloudcutter!
Fourteenth stance: Extinguish!
Try me on for size!
That's a weird power.
I'm completely human!
My glow band!
Now, Hime!
Now get out of here!
Shortcut: Goldfish tank!
Nice, Kotoha!
I made it.

Hello, hello, my beloved. Let's make the clock tick backwards

Crying in my dreams, I live again today

After they've all dried up, we're able to seek another's company

Hello, hello, my beloved. About the dream that ended today

Hello, hello, my beloved. Let me hear the sound of your voice
yume no naka e mou ichido tsureteyuku yo
I'll take you to the world of dreams once more
Once we're done here, we'll head over to clean up the town.
Okay!
Well?
What did you think of them?
They were decent. Nothing too bad.
What now?
Do we have a cheerful strategy meeting?
Oh well.
I suspect we'll meet again soon.
There's no need for any planning.
No tricks, no gimmicks.
It's the decisive battle between humans and Beasts!
But you've already lost before.
No, Kotoha-chan! Stop!
Next time: Spring Winds
Please look forward to it.
