Not bad, we've made some serious progress on this P.V today. Hearing about everyone's dreams for the festival just makes me so excited!

It feels nice to just wind down after a long day of work and to just do some shopping.

The sand and sea may be incredible, but the city of Numazu is also something to behold.

The stores, the landmarks and that student running towards me, wait...WHAT?!

*CRASH*

???: "Ow...ow.... *Gasp* I'm so sorry!"

AKI: "Don't worry about it, are you hurt?"

???: "I-I'm fine! I always am. I gotta keep myself ship-shape!"

AKI: "Are you sure? That was quite the fall you took."

???: "Don't worry 'bout it. If the uniform's okay, then I'm okay!"

AKI: "...Okay?"

???: "I gotta hurry, I'm running a little late. I gotta go full speed ahead. See ya!"

Hmm, nice girl. Reasonable that she's in a rush to get somewhere or meet someone after school. That blue and gold uniform looked pretty. She kinda reminds me of...

*RIIING*

You've gotta be kidding me. Now?

AKI: "Yes, hello? Who's calling?"

YOSHIKO: "Big demon! Come at once!"

AKI: "...What's wrong? Is your computer broken or something?"

YOSHIKO: "No! Just get over here immediately! I'll give you special permission to use the dark gale spell!"

AKI: "What?! I can't do any of that magical cr- Fine, just sit tight. I'll be there soon."

So much for a peaceful shopping trip...

...

YOSHIKO: "Geez, it's about time! What took you so long? I told you to come right away!"

AKI: *Huff* *Pant* *Wheeze* "Give me a break! I sprinted all the way here right after I hung up with you. So, what's the big emergency?"

YOSHIKO: "Well, umm... *Ahem* Big demon, read this correspondence first."

AKI: "You don't have to force yourself to talk like Yohane. Anyways, what do you mean, correspondence? Oh, it's an email.
What do we have here? 'Dear fallen angel Yohane. Pleased to meet you. I am a long-time, avid viewer of your videos. We, your loyal little demons, are thinking about holding a meet-up. O great Yohane, would you do us the honor of gracing us with your presence?'
Looks like it's an invitation to a meet-up."

YOSHIKO: "Yeah, exactly. This email arrived while I was preparing for the P.V shoot. It totally knocked me for a loop, so I waited until later to call you."

AKI: "Wait, this is the emergency you were talking about? I mean, sure, getting something like this out of the blue is pretty surprising."

YOSHIKO: "Well? What should I do?!"

AKI: "What do you mean? It's up to you if you should attend or not."

YOSHIKO: "You're too casual! Nothing like this has ever happened since I started uploading videos. Sure, I've gotten lots of comments, but an offline meet-up is uncharted territory!"

AKI: "I'm not telling you to make the decision lightly, but if your little demons are holding a meet-up, that must mean they're your fans, right? Normally, the content creators are the ones who organize the gatherings for their fans. I think it's pretty awesome that your fans came together and organized an event on their own."

YOSHIKO: "I-Is that so? It's really that special?"

AKI: "And on top of that, your fans contacted you directly to invite you to the event. I feel like this all shows what a close relationship you have with your fans.
Still, it's only natural to have severe doubts about meeting complete strangers. If you don't feel like you're up for it, you should politely decline."

YOSHIKO: "Right. To be honest, I am a little nervous about meeting them. But I'm also curious about what these people, who really enjoy my videos are like."

AKI: "So, what's it gonna be?"

YOSHIKO: "I've made my decision. It is not in my nature to turn my nose up from high upon my throne. To appear before my minions and strengthen their loyalty is a fine duty indeed!
I shall attend the little demons' offline meet-up!"

AKI: "Very well, I shall not rebel against your will, O great Yohane!"

YOSHIKO: "What outfit shall I wear for it? What should I bring? Oh, I must let them know of my acceptance first. You should make your preparations with all haste!"

AKI: "Me? Why?"

YOSHIKO: "Because you're coming with me, obviously. Didn't you read the whole email? The last part said my filming associate is invited, as well."

AKI: "Well, I was planning to go anyway. I'm not letting you meet some complete strangers by yourself."

YOSHIKO: "Do not worry, for I the great Yohane can defend myself! I am a master of 6 types of dark magic!"

AKI: "Oh come on, really?"

YOSHIKO: "You dare to doubt me? I am the great Yohane!"

AKI: "And I'm a realist."

YOSHIKO: "My magic will protect me!"

AKI: "No... I will."

YOSHIKO: "Y-You'll protect m- *Ahem* your lord Yohane?"

AKI: "Certainly, I shall protect thou with my life."
