HAMA Tours - Office Floor
Here, Fuefuki-kun. This is the incident report regarding the equipment you damaged in the storage room the other day, so I’d like you to fill it out, please.
As always, you took quite the spectacular fall. Thankfully you weren’t hurt, but…please do be more careful from now on.
Y-Yes sir….! I-I’m rrreally, truly sorryyyyy...!
Trrrill, trrrill! The company phone rings.
Ugh, seriously?! Who the heck is calling at a time like this?!
Y-Yes, thank you for calling HAMA Tours, Fuefuki speaking…
Huh?! A delivery for tantanmen and twice-cooked pork?! W-W-W-We’re a travel agency!!!
Ah, that one. They’ve been calling about it over and over since the other day. I’ll take over, so you get started on that incident report.
Oh, but before that. Here you go, Chief, a package for you.
Thank you… Oh, it’s from the organizers of that Snow Mountain Festival that was held the other day.
A gift box of sweets? How thoughtful of them.
We also received a “thank you” email.
“The event was a huge success, and your performance was outstanding. If we hold a second one, we’d love to have HAMA Tours handle it again,” they said. That’s about the highest praise we could ask for!
Indeed. The fact that it was a success is what matters most…
But next time, we’ll make sure they use the transportation we’ve arranged to get to the venue instead.
The scene pans to Raito typing furiously.
...The world truly is so vast. I’m certain that there are still countless UMAs out there, somewhere, waiting for us. That’s why! I want everyone to experience the same thrill we felt this time…!
Behold—! The “’We’re Not Going Home Until We Find a UMA’ Tour in HAMA!” This is going to make an incredible tour package…!!!
The scene pans back to Nayuki.
—Absolutely, definitely sure, no matter what.
Ahaha…
C’mon, Nayuuki! Don’t be so mad! Chii and the others did it because we wanted to, y’know~!
Indeed. A great deal happened along the way, but it was a unique experience. I had a wonderful time.
I heard all about it. I knew my gut feeling was onto something. Yodaka-san, you’ve got a talent for being a mascot…!
Ah, well… That was simply…
Lunchtime ♪ Lunchtime ♪ It’s beeento tiiime~♪
Isotake. If you keep on swinging that around, the bento will get all messed up. The karaage and rice will end up smashed together into one big bowl.
Getting that excited over a bento… Jeez, what a kid.
Oh, hey everyone. School’s over already? Welcome back!
Chief…! I-I’m back.
First thing’s first—we’re staaaarving! Time to chow down! If we eat out here, the whole office’s gonna reek of fried chicken, so we’re gonna borrow the meeting room!
Sure, go ahead. I’ll bring some tea over for you later.
Sweet! Thanks a million!
(...Huh? Where’s Kiroku-kun…?)
(Wait, is Kiroku-kun talking to Raito-san while handing him something? …Ah, they’re coming this way…!)
U-um…Natsuyaki…san. Natsume…san. Th-This… I just gave one to Raito-san, too, but…if you’d like…please have one…
Waah…! Waaah! It’s sooo adorable~! Chii just wants to give it headpats foweverr~!!!
This little one… If I’m not mistaken, it’s a Yeti, correct?
Y-Yes. It’s the one we saw…back then. I…changed it a little…and made it…more…colorful.
You all…helped us a lot…this time, so…this is our way…of saying thank you. Isotake and I…made them together.
Thanks to you guys, we’ve got ourselves one seriously sick snow mountain monster design!
Mission accomplished! Now we’re full speed ahead on our next project! C’mon everybody—give us a round of applause~!!!
Everyone claps for them.
That’s great news, Akuta, Kiroku.
Plus, hearing all your stories up on that snowy mountain, Raito-san? They got the inspo in me flowing like crazyyy! This next one’s gonna be our biggest masterpiece yet, so stay tuned!!!
I will! I can’t wait to see it!
Though, I have to say… This little Yeti plush is absolutely adorable. If we made it into tour merchandise, it’d be a huge hit for sure!
You…like it…? Then…next time…I’ll make one…for you, too, Chief.
Really? Are you sure?
Heck yeah! We’ll stitch one up by hand and deliver it fresh to ya!
In that case, I’d hate to impose, but… Could you make one for Nayuki as well?
Oi, don’t go asking things on my behalf. You’ve put them through more than enough already.
It’s…really no trouble…at all. If you’d…accept one… I’d be…happy.
But…
Raito inches closer to his brother.
Nayuki.
Yodaka-san told me that you helped out, too. If that’s the case, don’t you think you have every right to receive one as well?
I want us all to keep one of Kiroku-kun and Akuta-kun’s plushies…as a keepsake of the HAMA Yeti Investigation Team.
...Ngh… You…! There you go again, saying things like that so casually…
Nayuki-san… Is there…a design you’d like…? Or…any colors…you prefer?
…
...In that case, I’d like…
