Misaki
(... No mattter how many times I come here, I never get used to how ridiculous this place is.)
Kokoro
Misaki, what are you doing? Don't just stand there, come in!
Kokoro
We have to get changed quickly and go to the Halloween competition meeting place!
Misaki
Ahh... okay, okay. I'm coming.
Misaki
So? What are we going to do for costumes? I didn't bring anything with me.
Kokoro
Don't worry! I prepared everything for us!
Misaki
You did...? I-I've got a bad feeling about this...
Kokoro
I prepared lots of cute costumes for you! I'll go get changed, and when I come back, we can choose something for you!
Misaki
Cute costumes, huh... I wonder what she has. I can only imagine it being something way over the top.
The Suits
Misaki-sama, may I have a moment? There is something I would like to discuss with you.
Misaki
Oh, hello, is there something I can do for you?
The Suits
Indeed, there is. I have prepared something that I would like you to wear for the benefit of the young lady of the house.
Misaki
This is... Michelle? But she's kind of shaped like a pumpkin...
The Suits
I call it the Happy Halloween Michelle! I am sure it will please the young lady.
The Suits
Please be so kind as to do me this favor. Now, I must excuse myself.
Misaki
*sigh*... I guess I have to wear this to the Halloween thing then...
Kokoro
Misaki! Look! This is my costume!
Kokoro
I look cute like an apprentice witch, right? Okay, the costumes I prepared for you are in this room, so go and choose something!
Michelle
...
Kokoro
Oh! It's you, Michelle!
Kokoro
You're here to collect candy with us too!
Michelle
H-Hello, Kokoro-chan. Yeah, that's right, I'm here for that sweet
candy.
Kokoro
Oh, Michelle! You're such a cute pumpkin today! It's perfect for Halloween!
Michelle
Thanks~.
Kokoro
Well, what do you think of my costume, Michelle?
Kokoro
It's supposed to be a witch! Doesn't it make you feel like I can use magic?
Michelle
Yeah, uh... I'm not sure a quick change of clothes is going to let you use magic...
Kokoro
Oh, but you never know unless you try. This witch outfit might just have that kind of power!
Kokoro
But I wonder how I'm supposed to use magic. In the picture books, they always have a wand or something like that.
Kokoro
I need an item that matches my witch outfit! What should I get?
Michelle
I don't think you're going to just happen upon it, you know? This isn't a toy shop, after all.
Kokoro
Really?
Michelle
Anyway, don't you think we should give up on that for now and go to the meeting place?
Kokoro
Hmm... Oh? Hey, Michelle, your belly...
Michelle
Huh? What about it?
Kokoro
I think it's bigger than usual. See, right here...
Kokoro
There's something in your belly, Michelle!
Michelle
Uh... There's something in there? I'm pretty sure there isn't, but...
Kokoro
Look! Another jack-o'-lantern just came out of your jack-o'-lantern belly!
Kokoro
This is it! This is just what I needed! You're the best, Michelle!
Kokoro
I knew you could use magic!
Michelle
(Argh... The suits went all out this time, huh? Wait, what does she mean by that...? Just what does she think Michelle is?)
Kokoro
Michelle~! You're the best! Thanks for using your lovely magic!
Kokoro
Now that I have this, I can be a proper witch too!
Michelle
S-Sure, why not...? Anyway, we're kind of running out of time... Don't you think we should get going?
Kokoro
You're right! I'm ready now, so let's get going!
Kokoro
Come on, Michelle!
Michelle
... Hey...! Don't drag me~!
Kokoro
... Oh, where did Misaki go?
Michelle
(What?! She only just realized?!)
Kokoro
Perhaps she went without us. Did she say anything to you, Michelle?
Michelle
...
Kokoro
I'm sure she just went down ahead! Misaki is a responsible girl, so she probably didn't want to be late!
Kokoro
We can see her at the meeting place then! We should hurry too.
Michelle
Aha, ahahaha... Y-Yeah~.
Michelle
(*sigh* What am I going to do with her? Costume or no costume, whatever she does she's just so... Kokoro.)

Kokoro
Oh, BanG Dreamer-san! Hello! What a coincidence!
Kokoro
We don't have practice for the band today, so I was just thinking about what I could do!
Kokoro
Being outside makes it easier to find fun things, right?
Kokoro
I just found one! I ran into you!
Kokoro
Don't you think meeting someone by coincidence like this is fun?
Kokoro
But, I want to do something even more fun than that!
Kokoro
It'd be great if I could find something like what we did at Halloween the other day!
Kokoro
Oh? You didn't hear about it, did you?
Kokoro
It was Halloween recently, right? We had an event for it!
Kokoro
We wore costumes and had a competition to see who could collect the
most candy!
Kokoro
Michelle and I were in a team together and we won, but once it was over I thought there was no need for a ranking.
Kokoro
I mean, we all had fun together. That itself is a wonderful thing, right?
Kokoro
Hm? What did we do with the candy we collected? We ate them together after the competition!
Kokoro
The candy tasted extra good that day! I wonder why!
Kokoro
Oh, that's right, I learned something from doing Halloween!
Kokoro
It's really fun to do something with lots of people!
Kokoro
After the competition, everyone had a big smile on their face! I did too, of course!
Kokoro
I like making people smile, but I want to do to lots and lots of things that will make me and other people smile even more!
Kokoro
Everyone would always be smiling if every day was Halloween!
Kokoro
Oh? We can't do that?
Kokoro
Oh, I see. I never thought about how hard it would be for the candy shops if it was Halloween every day.
Kokoro
Thanks for telling me! If we make life hard for someone, they won't be able to smile.
Kokoro
In that case, what do you think will make us and other people smile?
Kokoro
You don't have to think so hard about it. Anything is okay!
Kokoro
We have to start somewhere! Just say anything!
Kokoro
Was that a difficult question? You look like you're thinking about something difficult.
Kokoro
Okay, let's stop thinking about this and go look for something that will make us smile instead.
Kokoro
There's no need to waste time thinking!
Kokoro
Where should we start? I've been stargazing and I've been on a cruise too, but they were both pretty fun!
Kokoro
But if we're going to do something, I want to do something new!
Kokoro
Like joining the circus or swimming in the sea with a tuna!
Kokoro
I'd like to try skydiving with Michelle too!
Kokoro
Yeah! I think all of these things would be fun!
Kokoro
Wouldn't it be nice to have everyone sing a chorus in a place with lots of animals?
Kokoro
What do you think? Don't these things all sound fun to you?
Kokoro
Anyway, if we just sit still, we won't find anything fun to do! Come on, let's get going!
Kokoro
...? Why aren't you moving?
Kokoro
It's going to be more fun if we search for fun things together.
Kokoro
It'll be double the fun, right? That's why you're coming too.
Kokoro
Don't worry! I'm sure you'll start having fun while we are searching!
Kokoro
And besides, we won't know if something is fun until we try it, right?
Kokoro
If we think we can find something fun, I'm sure we'll be able to find lots of things!
Kokoro
That's always been the case for me!
Kokoro
Okay, it's time to go! Follow me!
