In a suspicious facility in the Mushroom Kingdom, everything seemed as quiet as the wind. Then suddenly, danmaku blasted through the roofs of the facility. The sound of metal can be heard. Mitori and her crew are puzzled by the lack of opposition.
Ningsuto: So what was this job supposed to be anyway?
Hokuna: I dunno. This is weird.
Mitori: We were ordered to stop a weapons deal, but there's absolutely nothing here. And to top it off, we've got all these toys attacking us.
Hikori looks up, confused.
Hokuna: What's wrong, Hikori?
Hikori: Something feels off...
Just then, a battle drone emerges.
Ningsuto: Mitori!
The drone attempts to throw a girder at the group, only to be disintegrated by an energy blast from the combined powers of Mitori and Hokuna.
Hikori: Thanks.
Hokuna: No problem.
The drone collapses.
Ningsuto: Sheesh. That made me jump... Thanks, Mito-
Ningsuto's words were interrupted as Mitori looks at the suspicious scenery.
In Hitshi's Fortress...
Hitshi: This test run went smoothly. We're getting excellent data as we move toward the real-
Himshi: Hitshi.
Meanwhile, Mitori's crew leaves the blazing building.
Elsewhere, a Toad gazes at the blaze from above.
In Saffron's house...
Rosa: Oh man, I'm so stuffed. That's the first time I've had cucumber rolls.
Saffron: The meat Nitori brought was pretty good too. I ate way too much of it.
Rosa: Maybe you should take an antacid.
Saffron: By the way, have you seen Toadette lately?
Rosa: No, never heard from her. I wonder where she is right now...
The next morning...
Nitori: All right! Let's go home!
Skye: Oh, right! There's a shortcut over here!
Nitori: Wait, are you sure this is a shortcut?
Skye: Don't worry! Cut across the park, and we'll be at a main street!
Nitori: How on Earth did you find out about this?
The group stops at a flower field.
Burgundy: Nitori, is something wrong?
Nitori: Is that...
The group gazes at a sleeping Toad.
Burgundy: That's...
Saffron: ...a girl?
Nitori: Wow...
Skye: She's so cute...
Burgundy: This isn't the time for that!
Burgundy rushes toward the girl, while the others follow her.
Nitori: Wait, Burgundy!
Later, the Toad girl wakes up.
Saffron: She's awake! Good morning. Why were you sleeping here? What's your name?
Saffron: Um... How old are you?
Nitori: Hey, where do you live?
Burgundy: Quite problematic...
Nitori: Maybe she doesn't know English...
Skye: No, no! When talking to a little kid, you bring your eye level down to theirs, and... Oh, is that a good mushroom?
The Toad girl nods.
Skye: My name's Skye. What's yours? Can you tell me your name?
Toad girl: Ferri.
Skye: Ferri, huh? Okay, Ferri. Could you tell us what you know?
Ferri: Nitori Kawashiro?
All: Huh?
In Hitshi's Fortress...
Hitshi: We were able to obtain the precise data we expected from the red kappa in our experiment. Though something unexpected did occur at the scene. But that should solve itself soon enough. All preparations are now complete. Now it's time to show this kingdom our own power! All in favor of proceeding to the next phase of our plan, raise your hand.
Hitshi's elite all raised their hands, including a girl with suspicious pigtails.
