Kaoru
Ahhh... Such beauty...
Hagumi
Right? Isn't this amazing?!
Kokoro
It's just like you said, Hagumi! There's pretty leaves everywhere~!
Misaki
I know you said you knew a good place to see the fall colors, but this is incredible...
Kokoro
Okay, let's have lunch here!
Kanon
We have the tarp, the lunchboxes, and... Huh?
Misaki
What's wrong, Kanon-san?
Kanon
Oh, no. We forgot to buy drinks...
Hagumi
I'll go buy some for everyone! There's a store over there!
Kaoru
Five drinks for one kitten would be far too much a burden. Let me accompany you.
Hagumi
Thanks, Kaoru-kun!
Kaoru
Ah... Such towering, gorgeous clouds grasping towards the heavens... And radiant shades of autumn foliage beneath our feet... How fleeting...
Hagumi
Hah! Hmph! Yah! ... Ehehe, I got one!
Kaoru
Ahh... The sight of Hagumi, trying her hardest to capture the leaves as they dance so mischievously around her is also quite fleeting...
Kaoru
... Hm? Oh, my...
Hagumi
What is it, Kaoru-kun?
Kaoru
Gaze upon this, Hagumi. A chestnut.
Hagumi
Wow, you're right. They really hurt if you pick one up and get poked by the thorns~...
Kaoru
Hm. Indeed, their rather fearsome appearance does dissuade one from attempting to near, but beneath that thorned shell lies a kindly, sweet interior.
Hagumi
Ah...! You're right, chestnuts do taste really good, huh?! I really like eating chestnut rice!
Kaoru
Yes. That gentle, warm-hearted flavor of chestnut rice is completely at odds with the rather rugged individual before us now... But that bashful nature of yours is also so fleeting.
Hagumi
Oh, I get it~. So they're just shy! I never knew~!
Kaoru
Letting my imagination run wild at the thought of such fleetingness, hidden from the naked eye... Yes, that is how I, Kaoru Seta, enjoy autumn.
Hagumi
Wow, wow! I never thought about having fun like that!
Kaoru
Fufu... Fleetingness is found in the little things, after all.
Kaoru
Ah... And what do we have here? Hagumi, do you see what is hidden underneath this fallen leaf?
Hagumi
It's... a mushroom? Is it a matsutake? Or maybe it's a shiitake.
Kaoru
No matter what kind of fungi it may be... It is quite yellow, is it not?
Hagumi
Yeah! It's super yellow!
Kaoru
It takes quite a long time for a mushroom to be able to gain such a deep shade of ochre.
Kaoru
Perhaps this little kitten also wished to become as beautiful as the leaves cascading around it someday... and we are witnessing the fruits of its efforts now.
Kaoru
Ah... To think of all the blood, sweat, and tears, all of the time this little mushroom spent... It sends the heart aflutter.
Hagumi
Oh, totally! I tried really hard for a long time to get to the point where I could fry croquettes the same golden-brown color as my dad! I know just how this mushroom feels!
Kaoru
... Gasp! Hagumi! Just now, the muses have deigned to strike me with poetic inspiration. Would you lend my your ear?
Hagumi
Sure! Go for it!
Kaoru
"Through fields of gold I walk with a friend
Where a single beautiful blossom is found
A croquette-colored mushroom so fleeting..."
Where a single beautiful blossom is found
A croquette-colored mushroom so fleeting..."
Hagumi
Wow, wow wow~! I'll think of a poem, too!
Hagumi
"Mushrooms really like, hiding under fallen leaves, that is where they grow!"
"My dad's croquettes and all the leaves around us are, pretty golden-brown!"
"My dad's croquettes and all the leaves around us are, pretty golden-brown!"
Kaoru
Ahhh... Such fleeting verses... Hagumi, you are truly a wonderful poet.
Hagumi
Really?! Yay~!
Kaoru
With each little piece of autumn we discover, I feel ever more fleeting and fleeting. Wouldn't you agree?
Hagumi
Yeah! It's like when I'm with you, fall is way more fun than ever!
Kaoru
Fufu... You honor me with your words.
Hagumi
Oh, I've got an idea! As thanks, I'll teach you one of my favorite things about fall, too!
Hagumi
Uh~, let's see~... Ah! Over there!
Kaoru
Hagumi? Where art thou headed?
Hagumi
Found some~! Okay, get ready, aaand~...! Jump~!
Hagumi
Yaaay~! It's so soft~!
Kaoru
Fufu... What a mischievous kitten you are. But come now, you will dirty your clothes. Can you rise?
Hagumi
C'mon, Kaoru-kun! You too!
Kaoru
Huh? Wha- Wh-whoa?!
Hagumi
See? Doesn't this feel good?!
Kaoru
... Yes. Yes, it does. Fufufu.
Hagumi
If you lie down like this on a nice soft bed of leaves, it really makes it feel like fall's here!
Kaoru
Indeed... It is almost as if one is experiencing autumn's presence with the whole of their body.
Kaoru
The gentle caress of the sun's rays... The sea of blue sky above... It all feels for some reason greater, vaster than when we were simply strolling around.
Hagumi
Yeah! It's nice and cushiony, like we're floating in the sky.
Kaoru
Yes... It's quite invigorating... I've not experienced this side of autumn before.
Kaoru
Fufu. Being with you makes autumn much more enjoyable for me, as well.
Hagumi
Really?! Ehehe, that makes me really happy to hear~!
Misaki
C'mon you two~, what are you doi-... Whoa, what're you lying there for?! That's the ground, you know?!
Kaoru
Why, we are experiencing autumn together. Would you care to join us?
Kokoro
Oh, that sounds great! Sure, I'm in! Yay~!
Hagumi
Wow, all the leaves are falling down like snow! Come on, Kano-chan-senpai! You too!
Kanon
Ah, Hagumi-chan, don't pul-... F-fuee...!
Misaki
H-hey, Kanon-san, are you alrig-... Wahh?!
Kokoro
You were right! Looking up at the sky together with everyone like this is a lot of fun!
Kaoru
Fufu. Kokoro, it seems a strikingly crimson leaf has found its way atop your precious little nose.
Kokoro
Oh?
Misaki
Pfft. What the-... Ahaha!
Hagumi
Kokoron, you look like a reindeer!
Kanon
Fufu... You really do.
Kaoru
Ah... Truly, autumn is many times more pleasant when I am with all of you.
