Eh, I'm supposed to be the male god for the festival?!
How did that happen?
How did that...
The person who wins the Hikonan Race acts as the male god.
That's the set rule.
Didn't I say that before?
You never did.
Also, it was totally Koyori who won the race.
No matter how much of a tomboy Koyori-chan is, she is still a girl,
so of course she can't be the male god.
That's true...
That's why it'll be performed by the first in the boys, Kazuma-kun.
It's your honor to be the representative of the men in Hikonan Town.
Do it well.
But is it all right?
Letting an outsider like me to perform such an important part.
What are you saying? You'll be even more popular like that. 
Although this festival is about Yamabiko Town, 
the ambassador of the gods above
also represents accepting new blood from outside the village, receiving good fortune.
So boys like Kazuma-kun who brings in new 'seeds' from far,
fits the original purpose of performing as the male god.
What the fuck are you talking about so early in the morning?!
Onii-chan, what are 'seeds'?
Eh, that's...
Ayumu-kun, what we call 'seeds'...
Nee-san!
How nice, to perform as the male god in the festival!
Really?
Because it's you, the goddess is Tsumugi-san!
Those things, bouncing and bouncing...
Is that all you know?
Hey broski, how 'bout you just take this chance to confess?
How does that have to do with anything?!
It's a custom from before.
The male god can confess to the goddess during the greeting ceremony in the festival.
Really?
Tsumugi-san is an archetype.
Most of those selected to be the goddess in the festival are the most beautiful girls in town.
That way, there's a lot of guys wanting to make some advances toward her.
Also, the Hikonan Race seems to have originated as a contest for the right to confess.
In our grandparents' era, getting together because of a confession in the festival was commonplace.
So, there's also a myth that the when the confession is accepted, the year in which the lovely couple was formed would have a great harvest.
But even so, why would you want to me to tell Tsumugi-san---
Good morning!
What are you guys talking about?
What about Tsumugi-san?
No, nothing much.
Good morning.
Oh, good morning.
Seriously, Mom talks way too much for me.
Broski, what're we doing today?
Are we all going to Bagpipe?
I'll pass, since I still have club activities.
Me, too.
I have to go to the shrine and try on the robes for the festival later.
So Ui, too, then?
Mm, right....
Tch, then it can't be helped.
I'll go back myself, forever alone.
Are you lonely by yourself? 
Then I'll go with you.
You seem to be getting slack lately because of the approaching festival.
I'll educate you!
Hey, Mom!
Come with me, we'll have a private conversation! {THAT'S HENTAI MATERIAL RIGHT THERE}
Ah, I was still startled to know that I'm the male god for the festival.
R-Right...startled...
Um...
Um...what?
No, that...you go first.
No, nothing.
No conversation.
When...When did you...Please greet us next time.
What is it?
You will be late if you don't hurry.
Whoa, it fits Onii-san perfectly!
You have a manly air around you.
T-Thanks.
Then a quick snapshot right now!
Kasane-chan, taking photos is fine,
but why are you here?
I'm interviewing.
As the "Fast-ears" of Yamabiko, 
how can I not care about such interesting news?
I'll say it first.
It's not that I want to take photos of Mugi-nee as a miko,
and then sell it at a high prices to all the onii-san's in the high school.
I didn't think of that at all!
Sorry for making you wait.
Wow, Mugi-nee is so pretty!
Thanks, Kasane-chan.
Hina-sempai and Nakatsugawa-sempai also look great as miko!
Excuse me, the tea is here.
Sorry, making a guest help out.
It's fine.
Are your shoulders sore from wearing uncomfortable clothes?
No, not really.
Where's Nakatsugawa-sempai?
She went to the bathroom.
She said she was holding it in while she was trying on the robes.
Ah, she could've just said so.
Um, I'll go to the bathroom too.
Anyway, Koumoto-sempai is acting as the Emissary of Heaven this year.
Mm, so the dance practices everyday is hard work.
Are you not going to try on the robes?
I am, but I don't have to do it now...
I want to see what sempai looks like as the Emissary of Heaven too!
Right, if you can,
could you make a pose in the prayer hall and let me take a photo?
That's fine, since you have to try the robes anyway.
Then it's decided!
We'll go to the prayer hall after we finish this dessert.
Ui-chan.
Tsumugi-san.
Let's talk here.
Did Ui-chan have a fight with Kazuma-san?
Then what is it?
From what I see, Ui-chan and Kazuma-san seems to be a little different from normal.
That's...
Sorry, you don't have to if you don't have to say it.
I understand now.
I always treated Kazu-kun as a brother before,
so I'll be happy and feel at ease when we're together.
But, onii-chan is onii-chan. 
I understood that Kazu-kun isn't Onii-chan.
So i suddenly couldn't talk to Kazu-kun normally.
Just by having our eyes meet makes my heart pound.
When I'm alone at home too.
My face gets warm when I think of Kazu-kun's face.
Ui-chan, that's love.
No, no way...not that... {STUPID BITCH}
It's not like that.
It's only...my heartbeat gets faster when I think of Kazu-kun...
So that's...it's not love!
So...So...no way!
Because...
Ui and Tsumugi-san are both really slow, did something happen?
Hoshino, why didn't you say Ui was cute?
What? What the fuck? So suddenly...
Hoshino. you thought Ui looked really cute just now.
But you didn't say anything.
Why?
You ask why...?
After I left home, and when my father came to get me,
Hoshino said the things I wanted to say for me.
I was really happy then.
But later, I still felt that I have to get my feelings across by saying it myself.
I always wanted to apologize for getting angry at Hoshino because of the misunderstanding when I first met you.
That's why I was happy when I told Hoshino I was sorry myself.
If Hoshino has something to say to get your feelings across, you should say it.
Sempai... {THE FUCK WAS THAT?}
Ui-chan, that's love.
Love, huh?
That...I don't understand that!
Love...I don't understand it!
That's the third time this morning, what happened?
I slept a little late last night.
Are you all right? 
You still have practice for the festival after school.
Mm, I'll take a nap in the afternoon break.
It'll be fine.
So, I'll simply decribe the procedure tomorrow.
We'll tell you the details then.
Anyway, just remember all this for now.
First would be Madoka's dance as the Emissary of Heaven in the prayer hall.
After that is over, the male god waiting below the steps will recieve the summons from the Emissary of Heaven.
Then the god will walk down the stone steps and get on the float waiting on the path below.
The goddess will change in a prepared room at the town center, waiting with her attendants
Tsumugi-chan has experience as an assistant, so it should be all right.
Yes.
Your side will be notified once the god's float leaves.
We'll match the times and have the goddess and the attendants set out on their float too at the town center.
When the floats are abou to meet near the bridge, the taiko drums will start playing as a signal.
The greeting ritual will begin there.
The god has the summons received from the Emissary of Heaven.
The goddess has the scrolls from the local deities.
Both will read them out loud.
It seems that every year, the summons is written by the person acting as the Emissary.
Mm, it's written using ink that is ground into from the dew from the morning of the festival. {TL NOTE: THEY USE OLD SCHOOL CALLIGRAPHY}
So Koumoto-sempai will write those squiggy words? {A TRIBUTE TO SQUIGGY}
Um, I say...
"Squiggy words" refer to the "grass script" right? {TL NOTE: IT'S AWESOME CURSIVE}
I can't read that kind of script at all.
It's all right.
On both the summons and the scrolls, there will be furigana (phonetic script) beside the "grass script" passage.
Oh, I see, so it's like that.
Are you satisfied?
Yes, I can just read it like that.
Even so, don't be careless.
Although you're reading off something,
you have to integrate your emotions into your voice, 
to make those words true to the goddess.
"Integrate your emotions into your voice, to make those words true to the goddess."
Over here...sha sha...
Turn around...then...
Hello---
Hello?
Tsumugi-sempai?
Eh, faking illness?
{SHE'S NOT HOLDING THE BRUSH RIGHT}
It's almost time. 
Everyone, please change in the changing room.
Ah, so...
Mugi-nee, what's wrong?
My stomach...my stomach...suddenly...
A doctor! Ah, an ambulance!
It's okay, Ui-chan.
I think I'll be fine after resting for a while.
But...
Other than that, the festival goddess...
No way, Mugi-nee.
So who should we ask as a replacement?
Ui-chan, can I ask you to do it?
No way, suddenly like this...
How can I be the goddess?
Ui-chan has been practicing with me all the time, so you should know the procedure.
So you just have to do it like that.
Please...
But, there'll be one less attendant that way...
That's all right.
There's a replacement for an attendant here.
Me? No no no no no!
Kasane has been reporting on our rehearsals, so she should be familiar with the process as well.
Although that's true...
It's an emergency now!
Will you do it or will you do it? 
Choose one from the two!
Let me do it!
Onii-chan, don't get nervous!

{TS}{19:18} I like Ui. {DERP}

Although you're reading off something,
you have to integrate your emotions into your voice, 
to make those words true to the goddess.
Hoshino has feelings to convey as well, so you should say it out loud.
I...
I like Ui!
Although it wasn't when we first met,
I realized it when...how should I say this...
When we're together, it's like...um...
Anyway, I like you!
Ui, answer him!
Like...
We can't hear it, louder!
Me, too.
To Kazu-kun, I'm...
Louder, Ui!
I like Kazu-kun too!
Like him the most! {THIS TOWN IS FULL OF DERP}
All right, there's plenty of wine and dishes.
Speak up if you don't have enough.
Sorry, a bunch of people wanting to drink coming in here.
What are you saying?
We should be thanking you for letting us provide the celebratory wine for the festival.
However, if you fuck around after getting drunk, I won't show any mercy!
Anyway, never thought I'll see another confession at the greeting ritual again.
It reminds people of all the things you did that time.
Regrettably, you got dumped.
Gen-san, that topic is a little...
Another shot!
Um, Okaa-sama...
You've already drank a lot, if you keep drinking...
Hey, bitch, you've got a bone to pick with your elders?
Also, I'm only wanting to drink because you made me worry so much!
Do you understand that?
I understand.
Well then, fill 'er up!
Ayumu-kun can draw~~~
Then draw something for me next time too!
I'm pretty amazing when I'm stripped naked, you know...
Ayumu is so H~~~
Hey, Koyori-nee-chan, what's up with that?
It's nice, right?
I got it at the ring-toss at the open booths.
It's really cute!
Wait, there is...
How delicious.
Mugi-nee, didn't you have a stomachache?
Ah, did I?
We got friendzoned.
Right.
Not me! Being friendzoned...
That way is...
Screw it.
You see it?
The bridge to the starry skies?
Mm.
How beautiful.
Yes.
Really beautiful. {LIKE A DOUCHE}
