A Strange Night at Mauna Kea

I guess this'll work for this loop's story. Hmm, though I still think it could be improved a little.

？！

Yeah, I guess you're right. ...Okay, let's do this, Fujimaru.

This manga will help us debut with a real splash!

And this time, we're gonna beat that photo book and you-know-who's manga!

？！

By the way, there's something that's been nagging at me. Come out on the balcony and I'll show you.

？！

Yeah, it is.

...All right, take a look. Can you see it?

Yeah, that's it. That mountain over there.

Mauna Kea.

Normally, you wouldn't be able to see it from here, since it's supposed to be on the island of Hawaii...

...but now that the islands have combined together, it's a lot closer. Wanna see if we can walk there?

？！

Things like this, it's best to just up and do them as soon as they come to mind.

Worried you might not have the legs for it? You are technically human, I guess.

...In that case, let's see if we can't snag ourselves a ride.

Hey, Boss! I hear you're lookin' to check out the Mauna Kea Observatories?

All right then, hop on. My Bear'll have you there in no time.

Great, thanks.

No problem. You guys're

... ...

(The hell!? She's still wearin' a swimsuit this late!?)

(Why isn't she wearin' her civvies!? ...Oh, right, I guess Servants can get away with that. Makes sense!)

(But damn...good thing I've got my shades on!)

Well now. I'm surprised Lord Kintoki is letting you on his bike, Master. To be honest, I'm a little jealous.

It looks like it would be just as thrilling as a good training session. I wish I could go too...

Ushiwaka!? Not you too!?

Hm? Is something wrong, Lord Kintoki?

Uh, nah, it's nothin'. Really, nothin' at all.

All right then, let's get this show on the road!

Come on! Full throttle! No looking back! Hell, no looking at all!

？！

Hm? Looks like the rest of the road is closed to traffic.

Guess this is as far as we go then, Boss!

？！

You know it. 'Course, that's more thanks to Bear here than me. Hah!

That's too bad. I was hoping to see the observatories.

Still, even only halfway up the mountain, we still got to see Mauna Kea, so it'll do.

These stars really are something, aren't they...

You know, I thought Hawaii was supposed to be, like, paradise or whatever, compared to my old hangouts.

But this place looks like it ain't got much goin' on at all.

That's true... It looks very desolate.

Well sure. This whole mountain used to be covered with lava, after all.

I even heard it snows up here sometimes.

It might be one of Hawaii's most famous tourist attractions, but it's also the most opposed to the whole tropical island thing.

...You sound like you know quite a lot about it, Lady Alter.

What do you mean? Everyone knows that, right?

I-I didn't. But yeah, that does make a lotta sense!

Yes. It was very well put.

Fou!

That right, huh?

...Well, it's nothing anyone else who read the guidebook couldn't have told you.

？！

...All right, I suppose we'd better head back.

I was hoping to stay and enjoy the night sky a little longer...

Well then, we can just come back another time.

Yes, I suppose we could.

All right then, Master, let's come out here again if we happen to have some spare time!
