Eternal Vacation

1: Eternal Vacation - Prologue

Mihono: Yaaay-! The sea! It's the sea~!!
Kaoru: I seriously never thought I'd be sent to a beach resort instead of on another expedition...
Ellen: It's too bad Hanahana and Yomiyomi couldn't come along, but I'm impressed with the manager's generosity; inviting all the toji who helped with the aradama at the wedding chapel to come here.
Kaoru: Ahh, this feels great... Ah-! Hang on a sec, what if that's a flag...
Chie: Ufufu, you're such a pessimist, Kaoru-san. There's nothing to worry about. We aren't here for a mission; this is a true and honest vacation.
Mirja: As an apology for suspecting Yamashiro Yui, and out of gratitude at suppressing the aradama and returning the wedding rings, the manager made it very clear that would be the case.
Kaoru: Yeah, that's true. Then, let's get this vacation started... Or I'd like to, but we ought to thank Yui first for all this. Where is she anyway?
Chie: As soon as we arrived, Yui-chan went chasing off after some bride, so she could be anywhere.
Ellen: They call this place a sacred spot for resort weddings, after all~. There's a lot of brides around!
Mirja: I see Yamashiro Yui still hasn't learned her lesson. Though, I suppose it was thanks to that side of her that we were rewarded like this...
Kaoru: Hang on? Where did everyone else go?
Chie: They went to the resort's wedding hall, to see a wedding photo of Juujou-san's mother there.
Kaoru: A resort wedding, huh? That's a pretty flashy thing to do for Hiyoyon's mama.
Mirja: No, to be more precise, it doesn't sound as if she actually held her wedding ceremony at the resort.
Ellen: But then why would there be a photo of her here?
Mirja: I'm not sure of the details. Did you hear anything about it, Setouchi Chie?
Chie: I don't know much myself, but the story of when that photo was taken is supposed to be what led to this resort becoming a popular wedding spot. It's amazing, isn't it?
Ellen: I'd love to hear the full story-! I'm going to go check it out. Want to come with me, Kaoru?
Kaoru: No thanks. Even if we aren't on duty, it's the fate of us wage slaves that anything could come up at any time. Gotta enjoy yourself while you can...
Kaoru: Ugh... Right on schedule. And there's no way they're calling about good news.
Mirja: Yes, this is Kitora... I see... Yes, we will move out at once.
Chie: Is it aradama?
Mirja: Yes, within the area of this resort, it seems there is an infestation of aradama. There is a great number of them too. Unfortunately, our vacation will have to be temporarily suspended. Let's gather everyone together.
Kaoru: ...
Mihono: Did aradama really show up?
Kanami: We have to be ready to go on the double!
Mirja: Before we do that, just as a precaution, will everyone please take out their airline tickets. It would be a serious issue if one were to get lost, so we should collect them and leave them in the valuables locker at the hotel.
Kiyoka: Good idea, Mirja-san! It would be awful if anyone lost theirs.
Mihono: Huhh-? No way! I lost my plane ticket!
Kanami: You're so clumsy, Mihono-chan, losing something that important... Wait, hold on! Mine's gone too-!
Kaoru: Ugh, mine too...
Mirja: You should all put more consideration into managing yourselves. I have my ticket secured right here...
Kofuki: Oi, Mirja! Isn't that case for your glasses? Why'd you put it in there?
Mirja: Because it's a valuable item I cannot afford to lose... Oh, it seems my ticket is gone as well.
Chie: If everyone's tickets all vanished at once, I can't imagine it was any ordinary thief that did it, can you?
Yui: What if it's aradama taking things again?
Mirja: That's highly plausible. As we are now, none of us will be able to return home. Let's defeat the aradama and recover our airline tickets.

2: Eternal Vacation - Epilogue

Mihono: We suppressed all the aradama and got everyone's airplane tickets back, so now we're free to have our vacation!
Mirja: Why... We should have defeated every one of the aradama, and yet, my airline ticket is the only one still missing...
Chie: Eh? You weren't able to find yours, Mirja-san? Everyone else's were there though...
Kiyoka: Ehh-, then that means, Mirja-san won't be able to come back home?
Mirja: This is a problem. All of the aradama should have been suppressed... Sigh, just what should I do...
Mihono: Oh yeah! I just thought of something. There was a flyer outside the wedding hall that said they were looking for helpers before.
Kanami: If we all pitch in, we might be able to make enough for a ticket back home!
Ellen: Good idea! Let's go check it out now!
Mirja: I can't apologize enough. You should be having your vacation, and yet you're helping me...
Mai: Don't feel bad about it. It wasn't your fault your ticket got lost, after all.
Sayaka: Mm. I'll work hard with everyone.
Hiyori: That wedding hall owes us for what my mom did for them too. I'm sure they'll let us work without any hassle. Let's go see.
Everyone: Yeah!
Kaoru: I finally get to come to a resort, and now I have to work...
Ellen: No point in complaining about it. Come on, let's go!
Kaoru: Sigh... Goodbye, blue skies, goodbye, blue sea...
Mirja: Everyone, please wait. This is a rare opportunity, so you should enjoy your vacation as we planned.
Kaoru: Are you fine with that...?
Mirja: I can stay behind and work here long enough to purchase an airline ticket on my own.
Mirja: You have a responsibility to make the best of your time here, recovering your strength so you can be ready for the next battle. Please, go on, and don't worry about me.
Kiyoka: But, you must have been looking forward to this too, Mirja-san... Looking forward to having fun with everyone... It's a little heartbreaking.
Mihono: Yeah, I know. Saying something like that, trying not to make us feel bad, you're being too nice. I can't take it...
Yui: Mmhmm, and, on top of that, you have that nice hot body. These slender legs that go all the way up... Stare...
Kiyoka: Hey, Yui-chan! Why are you looking up Mirja-san's skirt!?
Mirja: Ya-Yamashiro Yui!? You're molesting me at a time like this!?
Yui: I'm not molesting anybody~! Look what I found, Mirja-san! Here, on the inside of your skirt.
Mirja: The inside of my skirt...? Ah---!!!!
Mihono: No way-! The stolen airline ticket was sewn underneath her skirt all along!!
Mirja: I of all people should have remembered...
Kofuki: Nn? What's going on? Didn't the aradama-chan take it?
Mirja: Everyone, I am incredibly sorry for the trouble I have caused. I completely forgot that I had decided to sew my ticket onto the underside of my skirt, thinking it wouldn't be lost that way.
Mihono: Ehh-!? But, didn't you say yesterday that you put it in your glasses case so it wouldn't get lost?
Mirja: Yes. I did put it there yesterday, but, for security reasons, I routinely changed its location.
Mirja: From under the insole of my shoe, to inside my glasses case. After that, I transferred it to several other places...
Mirja: And I had entirely forgotten I had moved it to the inside of my skirt.
Kaoru: Even for a false alarm that's going a little far, don't you think.
Kanami: It's fine, Kaoru-chan. I'm just glad we found it.
Tsugumi: That's for sure. Still, short of x-ray vision, how did you realize it was there in the first place, Yamashiro-san?
Yui: Welll, I just had a feeling her skirt wasn't swaying around the way it usually does~.
Mirja: I see that perversion of yours has proved itself useful yet again. Regardless, thank you very much for your help here.
Kaoru: Cool, we found the airplane ticket just fine, so before anything screws this up, let's get right to our vacation.
Ellen: I'm all for it! Let's change into our swimsuits straight away!
Mirja: Change into our swimsuits... That would cause trouble for me. I'll have to move the airline ticket to a more secure location first...
Kaoru: Give it a rest already-!
