Hagumi
...
Eve
Uhm... I thought I saw her a minute ago...
Eve
But where did Hagumi-san go...?
Hagumi
Eve-chin! What are you doing here?
Eve
H-Hagumi-san...?! How did you get behind me...?!
Hagumi
...? What do you mean? I just got here.
Eve
I just saw you ahead of me, though. I even tried to catch up to you so I could say hello.
Eve
But when I took my eyes off of you, suddenly you were gone.
Eve
And then you appeared behind me! You really surprised me!
Hagumi
So that's what happened! Hmm~, I was just running around like normal though...
Eve
So you're able to disappear just by running... Ah! Does that mean you're a ninja?!
Eve
To think you could sneak up on me from behind like that... That's amazing, Hagumi-san!
Hagumi
Wow, a ninja, huh?! That sounds cool! Zoom!!
Eve
Yes! Disappearing in thin air, approaching your enemy through their blind spots, and then taking them down with a single strike... You were just like a ninja!
Hagumi
But I'm not a ninja, so I don't know how to do all of that.
Eve
Then why did I lose sight of you like that...?
Hagumi
Hmm... Ah! Maybe it's because I entered a side road.
Eve
A side road?
Hagumi
Yup! There are tons of tiny streets downtown! I use them all the time~!
Hagumi
I saw a cat in one of them just now, so I went over there to play with it!
Eve
I see! That must have been when I lost sight of you!
Hagumi
Yup, that's gotta be it!
Eve
Are there really a lot of small roads like that?
Hagumi
Yeah! Tons and tons!
Hagumi
I can barely fit in some of them, but they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes!
Eve
That sounds so fun!
Hagumi
Plus~, some of them are a lot faster than taking the main road!
Eve
I had no idea such things existed here.
Eve
With secret passageways like that, it's almost like a samurai household! How cool!
Hagumi
Right?! Everyone downtown knows all about them, and I've been using them since I was a kid~!
Hagumi
And I know all the shortcuts and side streets!
Eve
Running around in secret shinobi passages only you know... You really are a ninja, Hagumi-san!
Hagumi
You think so?! Could I really become a ninja?
Eve
Yes! You're the ninja of the downtown area!
Hagumi
Okay~! Then from now on, that's exactly what I'll be!
Hsgumi
Alright, then I'm off to one of my secret passageways!
Eve
Wait, Hagumi-san! Please teach me about these shinobi paths!
Hagumi
Okay, will do! Then today we'll go through all the different shortcuts together!
Eve
Thank you, Master! I'm officially the student of a ninja... It's like a dream come true!
Hagumi
Wow, so I'm your master now, right?!
Hagumi
... Alright, try to keep up with me then!
Eve
Yes, Master! Please, lead the way!
Hagumi
Okay, here we go~! Ninja skill, pierce through~!
Transcript
Hagumi
Huh? That's weird... It should be here...
Marina
Ah, Hagumi-chan, hello!
Hagumi
Ah, Marina-san and BanG Dreamer-san! Hello!
Marina
Fufu, you're as energetic as ever. What are you doing here?
Hagumi
There's a store I really want to go to today, but now I'm lost...
Marina
That's not good. Should we help you find it?
Hagumi
Would you?! Thank you!
Marina
No problem! Then... why don't we look at the map over there? You can tell us which store you want to go to using that.
Hagumi
Uhm... Ah, here it is! This is the store I'm looking for!
Marina
Ah~, I see what happened. This part of the mall is pretty over-crowded, so it can be hard to tell the halls from the shops.
Marina
I'm going to guess that you thought this part was another shop, but it's actually the hallway to the store you were looking for.
Hagumi
What~? Really?! No wonder I couldn't find it...
Hagumi
But now I know where it is! Thanks!
Marina
This building is like a maze, so it's easy to get lost when you're not used to it. I get lost all the time~.
Hagumi
Yeah. I don't come here very often, so it's really easy for me to lose track of where I am...
Hagumi
If we were downtown, I'd be able to figure it out easily.
Marina
Really? Does that mean you know where all the shops are?
Hagumi
Yup! I also know all about the side streets and shortcuts too!
Marina
Now that sounds helpful... Ah, you think so too, don't you, BanG Dreamer-san?
Hagumi
If we played hide and seek downtown, I know I'd win for sure!
Marina
Fufu, that sounds like fun.
Marina
Although it is pretty amazing that you're so knowledgeable about the downtown area. It's like you're an expert.
Hagumi
You think so? Okay, then I'll give you a tour of all the shortcuts downtown sometime!
Hagumi
I'll guide you through all the side streets! Then you'll love going downtown even more!
Marina
Wow, that sounds fun! I'd love to!
Hagumi
Those shortcuts are really cool too. Some of them are really tiny, to the point where I can barely get through them!
Marina
... Did I just sign up for more than I bargained for?
Hagumi
Ah, I need to get to that store! Thanks again, Marina-san BanG Dreamer-san!
Hagumi
We'll have to figure out when you want to do our tour later!
Marina
Ahaha... Yeah! I'm looking forward to it!
