Muku | (Hmm, what kind of etudes should I do with Tsumugi-san today?) |
Haruto | ... |
Muku | Ah! |
| (It's Haruto-san...! Should I say hi? I feel like I'm not allowed to, though...) |
Haruto | ! |
| Wait, you're from Mankai Company, right...? |
Muku | H-Hello! |
Haruto | Hey. Going home from school? |
Muku | I am! Are you heading somewhere, Haruto-san? |
Haruto | Yeah, I guess. |
Muku | Oh, right! Um! I saw you and Shifuto-kun during one of GOD-za's practise Instelives the other day! |
| You were so cool, Haruto-san! |
Haruto | Heh, duh. |
| Well, I'll give you credit for having good taste at least. |
Cat | ...... |
Haruto | Hm? |
Muku | Oh, a kitty! |
Cat | ...... |
Muku | It's staring right at us. |
| Good afternoon, Mr. Kitty! |
Cat | ... Meow. |
Muku | ? |
Haruto | Huh, it keeps going the other way when you try to get close to it. |
Muku | I think it's telling us to follow it! |
Haruto | No way. You watch too much TV. |
Muku | But look at the way it's looking at us! Aren't you even a little curious about it? |
| Would you like to come with me to see where it will take us, Haruto-san? |
Haruto | No, I'm busy. |
Muku | Aw, but this could be fun! |
Cat | Meow. |
Muku | See? Mr. Kitty's waiting for you! |
Cat | Meooow, meow-meow! |
Muku | Are you sure you can't come with us...? |
Haruto | (sigh) All right, all right, fine! I'll come! |
Muku | ! |
| Thank you, Haruto-san! Shall we, then? |
| |
Haruto | What is all this? |
Muku | Wow! Look at all the equipment here! |
Haruto | Has this always been here? |
Muku | I've never seen this place before! It looks amazing! |
Cat | Meow-meow! |
Muku | Was this what you wanted to show us, Mr. Kitty? Thank you for bringing us to such a wonderful place! |
Cat | Meowww. |
Muku | Haruto-san, look! There's even a statue of a cat here! |
Haruto | Huh... |
Statue | "Meow!" |
Muku | Whoa! The statue even meows! It's adorable! |
??? | Oh? |
Muku & Haruto | ! |
??? | I thought I heard a bit of chit-chat! And look who we have; guests! |
Haruto | Where did he come from? |
Muku | I'm— I'm sorry! We didn't mean to trespass— |
??? | No, no, not at all! You are all very welcome here! |
Muku | Um, may I ask what this place is...? |
??? | 'Tis a theme park I run! I call it: Veludoland! |
Forrest Gramp | The name's Forrest Gramp, but you can call me Gramps.[1] |
Haruto | "Forrest Gramp"...? |
Muku | What a wonderful name! |
| I feel like we've stumbled into a fairy-tale! Not only did we find a cat and a kind elderly gentleman, but we also found a mysterious theme park in the middle of town all in one day! |
Gramps | Ohoho! Is that so? |
| Well, I'm awfully glad you're here, laddie. Y'see, we don't get many visitors here, if at all. |
| It might be because it's tucked away so deep amongst the trees and a wee bit hard to find. Veludoland stands empty most o' the time. |
Muku | Really? |
| But it's such a lovely place! It's a pity people don't know about it... |
| If only we had a chance to get the word out to everyone... |
Haruto | A chance, huh? |
| Why not do it during the Veludo Way Halloween event? It's coming up soon and all. |
Gramps | Halloween, aye? Great idea, lad! I'm sure there will be lots of people to reach out to there. |
Muku | You're right! We could get more people to come here if we tell the event-goers about this place! |
Haruto | What are you looking at me for? I know I suggested it, but that doesn't mean I'm going to help you. |
Muku | Oh! Um, true... |
| I don't deserve to talk to someone from the illustrious GOD-za. I'm just a shameless piece of overcooked radish, all mushy and gooey... I'm sorry for being presumptuous... |
Haruto | No one said that? And that radish actually sounds like it would be full of flavor, not gross at all. |
Muku | I'm— I'm sorry! |
Haruto | ...... |
| All right, fine... Where's your phone? |
Muku | Huh? |
Haruto | I can't add you if you don't get your phone out, right? |
| I'm not going to help you for the whole day, but you can give me updates on the situation and I might give you a hand here or there. |
Muku | Really?! Thank you so much, Haruto-san...! |
| Here, this is my number. |
Haruto | Okay. |
Muku | We'll be participating in the Veludo Way Halloween festivities, so we'll tell everyone about Veludoland there. |
Gramps | Thank you, laddie. You've made an old man very happy. |
| We're closed for the day, but please do come back when the sun is higher in the sky. |
Muku | Yes, of course! I'll bring all my friends along, too! |
