†Welcome New Year† Concerto of a Cat and a Crow (Event Story)
Chapter 5: Crushー!
Hatsumi: *sigh…*
It’s hard to deny at this point. Even things after that incident went horrible.
Iruru: Not only losing some pennies when about to paying the fee,
You were also the only one who pulled ‘worst luck’ from the fortune slip……
Nikako: I wonder if luck is constantly avoiding Ren-san today……
Iruru: Is that really the case…?
She seems like the kind of person who is blessed by The Lucky Gods though…
Hatsumi: Starting this year with a bad day, who knows what kind of disaster will happen next……
Nikako: … Ah!
Look, over there!!
Daa-chaaan~!!
Daikoku: Nikacchi…!
... My Lord and Iruru are also here.
Iruru: Ooh~ There’s also the girl from Denki theatre.
So this is what you meant by a friend.
Tsubomi: Hmm… I see the living creatures from Eden.
It has been a while since the last time we see each other. This yet has become another fateful encounter……
―Huh?!
Hatsumi: My, my… If it isn't Tsubomi Nekoashi― Or should I say the fortune-teller girl from Denki.
It’s an honor to see your face again. I shall give you a reunion hug―
Tsubomi: Cruuusshhh――!!!
Daikoku: Huh??
Nikako: What― Why’s there some flying slips around?!
Iruru: And one of it stuck in front of Hatsumi’s forehead…?
Hatsumi: What’s this? A welcome sign?
But I can’t really see the front with thi―
Tsubomi: Stay away from me!!
Also… Don’t you dare to touch that slip!!
Daikoku: What’s wrong, Tsubomi-san? Why so haste for the sudden……
Tsubomi: … Tch,
So the Dark Lord has befallen to the dark side…
Nikako: Dark Lord…?
Daikoku: Ah―!! You’re treating My Lord like this again…!
Even if it’s coming from you, Tsubomi-san. I will not forgive you!!!
Tsubomi: You… I certainly noticed an aura of evil (evil flower) inside you.
Not an usual one… It is such a fierceful aura of evil (evil flower)!!
Iruru: An aura of evil?
Hatsumi: Ahaha, you are still a mysterious one.
What a well-played joke that you have in here.
Tsubomi: This is not a joke!
… Have you all not realized? About the ‘darkness’ that has possessed this fellow……
Nikako: What…?!
Iruru: What is this? An etude…?
Her tone seems to be very serious though……
Hatsumi: P- Possessed…?
Now what are you talking about?
Tsubomi: However, I can’t seem to fully comprehend their existence……
Were you allowed to go to this shrine?
Hatsumi: I am. There were no actual problems.
…! … Looking at it again, we were getting lost for so many times.
Tsubomi: ……
Perhaps, that all was caused by the sacred barrier.
Daikoku: The sacred barrier?!
Tsubomi: The thing that currently surrounds you, Renjakuno… Is an overflowing amount of malice.
If I let this be, the spirits could terribly affect sacred elements of this shrine.
Hatsumi: The what now…?!
Nikako: Oh no… That sounds terrible…!
Iruru: Judging from her calm, while this could be legit……
Is it even real in the first place?
Iroha: Heey~! Tsubomi-san!
We’ve also come for our first shrine visit!
Kamira: Huh―?! Da heck!!
So senpai’s a real shrine maiden now?! Gonna take some pics like A.S.A.P.!
Mito: But it seems like they’re still doing the tasks. Maybe it’s best to not really bother them…?
Kamira: … Huh?
Hol’ up, isn’t that Iruru-san? There’s also others from Eden…?
Daikoku: Ah……
Iroha: Waah~!
Long time no see, everyone!!
