Unexpected Guests
Another great day of work! Everyone handled the guests really well today!
The Night Team’s first tour has been going quite well so far.
Yeah, aside from that shit that happened with our show on the first day…
Eheheh, I remember that. But on the bright side, now we know how to handle little issues without panicking too much.
Everyone’s built a tolerance to misfortune… That’s amazing.
They do say humans can adapt to the environment just as well as cockroaches can.
Oh, I got a message from Kafka. Hm…
We did it, Chief. The guest coming in from the next bullet train will be our 20,000,000th. Make sure to show them a good time
Huh…?! Wait, does that mean…?!
HAMA will continue to be a dedicated tourism region!
…!
Chief, why’re you shaking? If a bird pooped on you or something, don’t worry. Something good will happen to balance it out, so it’s not all that ba—
Nagi-kun! HAMA’s finally cleared its 20,000,000 tourist quota…!
Wait, really?!
Seriously…? We just barely made it.
That’s wonderful news. That was HAMA Tours’ biggest goal, wasn’t it?
……
Now Gii is starting to shake as well.
Let’s go and greet the next guest when they get off their train!
I’ll be heading over there with Renga too♪
(Hm…? Why Renga-kun?)
(They’re finally here… Our 20,000,000th guest…!)
W-Welcome to HAMA…! Wait, what?!
Howdy! ♪
Chief, who’s this?
Koharu-san?! And…the rest of the KOBE mayors too?!
Yep, we’re all here. It’s been a while! How y’all been?
Hello, sorry for arriving without any notice… Ah, we watched the livestream of your concert. It was really great!
Tch. This place is a trash heap. Where is Murakumo Ten?
I think that it’s a nice city…
Oh, I need to take some reference pictures! I might set my next book in HAMA…
Why, I’m happy as a pig in mud to see y’all again. Looks like you’re doin’ good, Chief.
Ah, right… I forgot to thank you for letting me borrow your weather control device!
I know that it was a sudden request, but thank you for being so generous…
Nah, don’t you worry ‘bout that. The festival worked out anyway, didn’t it? Good for y’all! ♪
What’re the three of you doing in HAMA? I figure you’re pretty busy…
Are you being sarcastic?
Jus’ ignore Kotonojo for now.
We’re your 20,000,000th guests!
W-Wait, you knew about that?!
I got ev’ry tourism region’s guest data right up here. So, y’all takin’ some time outta your busy schedules to greet us?
Ah, right! We are.
Hello. Since you’re our 20,000,000th guests, we have a congratulatory bouquet for you.
Oh, we hit the lucky number. Wow, it’s so pretty… Thank you so much.
Surely you have another reward much more worthy of such an important milestone. Hand over Murakumo Ten.
AAAAHHH!
What’re you guys doing here?!
Welcome to HAMA, KOBE mayors. You must be pretty lucky to be our 20,000,000 guests.
You said it. Hope y’all’re gonna show us a good time while we’re here. We’re just happy to go on a study trip ‘n’ observe our rivals at the same time!
Your rivals…?!
(Mmm, Renga-kun looks really happy to be considered a rival.)
Thanks, I appreciate your kindness. For your information, we don’t think that we’ve won yet, but we’re very close to overtaking you.
We hope you fully enjoy your time in HAMA. ♪
Woah, fightin’ words, huh? Well, lookin’ forward to what y’all got in store for us.
…But I really do respect y’all. Y’did pretty well bringin’ this whole rag-tag group this far.
Well, not like us KOBE folk are all that unified either. I invited alla the mayors to come with me, but only two ended up agreein’.
I’m not here to listen to your personal problems, thank you.
Haha! Well, either way y’spin it, we’re still gonna be the first tourism region in the country t’ get a six-star review.
We ain’t gonna lose to some li’l chicks who just popped their heads outta their shells. ♪
Oh, really? What a coincidence. That’s actually exactly what we were aiming for next.
I’ll have you know that the hare always loses to the tortoise in the end.
Y-You guys… What’s with the tension up in here? It’s freaking me out…! Someone stop them…!
Umm, in times like these… I should contact the Isotake Betting Company, right?
I bet 500,000 Zimbabwean dollars on Kafkaf!
M-Me too! I’ll bet this rune stone on Kafka-kun…!
We’ll get into a scandal if we start betting on them. If we’re going to gamble, it should be for free public services instead.
Just don’t bet on the enemy…
G-God, I have no idea what they’re talking about… Chief, stop theeeem!
