Episode 5-53: Twins of the Land and Sea!

Classroom
—Mountain-loving Committee Exhibition Booth—
Jade Jade	It is an honor to have the Chairman of the Festival Committee visit my booth personally. Welcome to the Mountain-loving Committee’s exhibition booth.
Floyd Floyd	Ah~! It’s Little Goldfish~! Welcome. Here’s a little present for our first customer of the day~ It’s a mysterious mushroom that Jade picked himself.
Riddle Riddle	Don’t just shove weird things into people’s faces! What is wrong with you!? And I believe I’ve told you to stop calling me nicknames!
Jade Jade	Now, now you two. That is neither a mysterious nor a strange mushroom. It is perfectly edible. It is called a brown clamshell mushroom.
Riddle Riddle	Can you do something about your brother before you start explaining?! Don’t force my hand to put collars on both of you!
Trey Trey	What’s with all the ruckus? Oh… This booth specializes in terrariums and photographs, huh.
Jade Jade	(chuckles) I did not see you there, Trey-san. Indeed, I have on display here things that I have foraged from the mountains myself.
Floyd Floyd	Ah, Little Shrimp and Earless Seal are here, too. Sea Turtle, too. Welcome.
Trey Trey	Hm? Sea Turtle is… me?
Grim Grim	Grrrr… Every time I hear that nickname, I just know I’m being made fun of, yanno…!
Choice 1: He’s already pretty attached to it…		Choice 2: Wasn’t it because you have such a round belly?
Riddle Riddle	Why are you here in the first place, Floyd? Weren’t you in the basketball club with Ace? The Basketball Club is in charge of building the Blue Stage, and as far as I’m concerned, their work is not done yet.
Floyd Floyd	I didn’t feel like it, so I was chased away for not helping. Aha~
Riddle Riddle	The Cultural Festival is a joint effort from all students. Leaving your duties just because you didn’t feel like it is a breach of rules!
Floyd Floyd	It doesn’t matter~ Pres told me I could go. Plus, I have work at the Mostro Lounge later, too. I have to carry a huge tank around and go sell drinks. Ah, how annoying. Why do I have to work when Jade can just stay here? I wanna play with you guys, too~
Riddle Riddle	We’re in the middle of inspection as members of the festival committee! We didn’t come here to play!
Jade Jade	(chuckles) Floyd, don’t tease him too much now. The staff who help with selling our drinks around will receive a special bonus from Azul, remember?
Floyd Floyd	You know I don’t really care about that. Plus, aren’t you always foraging around the mountains? Are you sure you’re not a sports club? Stop acting like a cultural club just when it’s convenient.
Trey Trey	Heh~ So this club is pretty similar to a hiking club?
Jade Jade	Oh, no. My little club is not focused on mountain hiking. And I do not intend on gaining a certificate for any of the activities I do here… The main purpose is to appreciate the mountains nearby while on a stroll. Wild vegetables, mushrooms, wild flowers, and even the animals are a bonus… The objective is to appreciate or sometimes feast on every being I come across in the mountains.
Trey Trey	I see. It’s pretty similar to the Photography or the Cooking Clubs, then.
Jade Jade	I wonder now. I simply enjoy walking by the mountains myself. Should I come across anything of interest, I do not experiment on them the way your club does.
Grim Grim	In other words, you just go to the mountain and eat what you find?
Jade Jade	(chuckles) That does sound like a very vague summary, but I cannot deny it.
Riddle Riddle	I see quite a lot of pictures of plants and stones around. Did you take these pictures, too?
Jade Jade	Indeed. Though, it may not be of any particular interests for people who have always lived on land. To someone raised in the sea, they are quite rare.
Floyd Floyd	Even then, your choice in pics is so weird! You keep taking pics of rocks~ I don’t get what’s so fun about them. Our mermaid ancestors used to collect human stuff, too, y’know?
Jade Jade	(chuckles) It does explain why I’m the only member now, doesn’t it?
(bell rings)
Headmaster	To everyone participating in the festival, we only have five more minutes before the gates are opened. Please finish up all preparations necessary.
Riddle Riddle	Ah, it’s almost time to begin! We haven’t finished inspections yet, too!
Trey Trey	We’ll be taking our leave now. Good luck to your booth.
Jade Jade	Yes, thank you very much for coming to visit us.
Floyd Floyd	Bye-bye~

Interior Hallway
Trey Trey	Being around those two is definitely something…
Grim Grim	I still don’t get what kinda club it is, yanno?
Riddle Riddle	As long as they don’t violate any school rules, it should be fine. Let’s hurry to the next booth.
