We have a cute spirit staying over.

**[00:35] Aki**
Are you up?

**[00:38] Haruna**
Morning. Did you sleep well?
**[00:40] Hakone**
Indeed, I slept quite soundly.
**[00:42] Hakone**
Although I have had a bit of an accident.
**[00:44] Haruna**
It's a disaster!
**[00:45] ---**
How embarrassing.
**[00:47] Hakone**
Is that what I think it is?
**[00:48] Hakone**
I was dreaming about steamed
buns, and well, I drooled.
**[00:51] Haruna**
A geyser?!
**[00:53] Hakone**
Haruna, where are you going?
**[00:56] Haruna**
To the neighborhood association.
**[00:58] Haruna**
I'm attending today.
**[01:00] Hakone**
The neighborhood association?
**[01:01] Haruna**
The proprietors and proprietresses from
around the neighborhood get together.
**[01:05] Hakone**
It's a gathering of important people.
**[01:07] Hakone**
Then I shall have to join.
**[01:10] Hakone**
There are lots of lodgings here.
**[01:12] Haruna**
It's the biggest hot spring town in Yumoto.

**[01:19] Haruna**
Hello.
**[01:20] A**
My, how adorable.
**[01:22] Haruna**
Neighborhood Association President.
**[01:24] A**
You're a new face here.
**[01:25] Haruna**
Um...
**[01:27] Haruna**
Her name's Hakone-chan.
She's a distant relative.
**[01:29] Haruna**
She's staying at our place.
**[01:30] Tohya**
*Why the heck is Hakone here?!*
**[01:33] A**
Now, on today's agenda...
**[01:37] B**
And tours?
**[01:37] Hakone**
I am bored.
**[01:38] C**
We have some events in the works.
**[01:40] C**
Something the customers can enjoy together...
**[01:43] Hakone**
That hurt!
**[01:44] Haruna**
E-Excuse me for a second.
**[01:46] Hakone**
You can go have fun.
**[01:48] Hakone**
See the town mascot over
there, Hakoneko-chan?
**[01:50] Hakone**
Hakoneko?!
**[01:51] Haruna**
He has almost the same name as you do.
**[01:53] Haruna**
You should be friends.
**[01:55] Hakone**
*Wh-Wh-What is that thing?!*
**[01:58] Hakone**
*That shape is definitely not human.*
**[02:01] Hakone**
*Could it be a mononoke?!*
**[02:03] Hakone**
*But the children seem to enjoy its company.*
**[02:06] Hakone**
*What is going on?*
**[02:09] Hakone**
*It's terrifying!*
**[02:11] Hakone**
*I shall have to run.*
**[02:13] D**
I'm so scared!
**[02:16] D**
*I cannot abandon a small child here.*
**[02:17] D**
* I must do what I can.*
* I am the hot spring spirit!*
**[02:20] Hakone**
Vile Mononoke, I shall smite you!
**[02:24] Tohya**
Ack, what's she up to?
**[02:26] Hakone**
A formidable foe.
**[02:27] Hakone**
I will have to move to my last resort.
**[02:33] A**
Wow, how did you do that?
**[02:35] B**
Could you show us one more time?
**[02:39] Hakone**
If it is my power that you wish to
see, then I shall show you more!
**[02:42] Tohya**
Wait!
**[02:43] Hakone**
Here I go.
**[02:47] C**
The hot spring just erupted.
**[02:48] D**
How is she doing it?
**[02:50] Haruna**
Hakone-chan's good at magic tricks.
**[02:52] Haruna**
She has all kind of impressive skills.
**[02:54] Hakone**
Indeed, I am impressive.
**[02:56] C**
Good for you, and you're still so young.
**[02:58] D**
Hey, how about we have
her be a tour ambassador?
**[03:02] C**
Good idea!
**[03:03] C**
She's cute, and she can manipulate
water. That's perfect.
**[03:06] Hakone**
But...
**[03:08] D**
That just might be a great idea.
**[03:11] Haruna**
Neighborhood Association President.
**[03:13] Hakone**
What is a tour ambassador?
**[03:15] D**
You advertise all the good and
wonderful things about Yumoto.
**[03:19] Hakone**
Very well, I shall be the
so-called tour ambassador.
**[03:23] Hakone**
I shall show them how amazing I am.
**[03:27] Haruna**
Tohya.
