UKYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[It was just another day in the Bastion, helping make preparations for assisting the Ura that were in dire straits. But then, during lunch, Ibuki's cry of disbelief and amusement rang out loud and clear]

[Because she used the monument to create "magical jerky cows", and renovated one of the new buildings on the Bastion into a music venue.]

[... after her initial cry, Ibuki can be found in front of iBooty Shuffle, leaning against one of the chocolate jerky cows and...]

[... just... laughing. That's all she's doing. Laughing]

Can you give my ahoge a good reason not to eat your hands, though?

[ NAEGI... NO... ]

[scary_music]

IBUKI WON'T BE ABLE TO PLAY THE GUITAR WITHOUT HER MUSIC!!!!!!

AND, AND... SHE DEFINITELY WON'T LOOK AS GOOD WITHOUT HANDS, EITHER! TOTAL NEGATIVE POINTS TO HER LOOKS!!!

[bulletofhope]

[ . . .

. . .

. . .

It looks like Naegi's taking a worryingly long time to speak, but in the end, he can't help but laugh a little. ]

I was kidding, Ibuki-san... it's okay! My ahoge won't bite! Really!

[scary_music]

Mmmmmmm...

Ibuki's not sure about that... you might be trying to lure her into a trap, now...

[bulletofhope]

. . . what kind of trap are you expecting me to pull on you, exactly...

[ Ibuki plz... ]

[scary_music]

The most unexpected trap of all...!!

...

The reverse trap!!!!!!

[..........]

[bulletofhope]

. . . reverse trap...

...

What, you mean... that thing in the mangas, a girl who looks like a boy, dressing as a boy...

[ . . . Naegi, you've been free-timing with Yamada too much, haven't you... ]

[scary_music]

Just kidding!

[she laughs]

[bulletofhope]

E-eh?

Hey! That's not fair, I was supposed to have gotten one on you there--!

[ And yet Naegi's starting to laugh despite himself. Really, Ibuki... ]

[scary_music]

[... she wasn't actually taking you seriously with the ahoge thing, little guy]

[She'll laugh a bit more, because laughing with friends is the best!]

Whoops! Ehehe, looks like Ibuki wins this round! Maybe next time, Makoto-chan!

[bulletofhope]

I won't lose next time! Promise.

[ Oh, Naegi... ]

. . . do I at least get a consolation prize?

[scary_music]

A consolation prize! Hm!

Ibuki didn't have the foresight to prepare any prizes! Whoops!

But, but, Ibuki is open to suggestions!

What kind of prize is Makoto-chan hoping for?

[bulletofhope]

. . . I'm not sure. I actually hadn't thought about it until now...

[ NAEGI... ]

[scary_music]

Quick, Makoto-chan, quick!

Say the veryyyyyyyyyyyy first thing that comes to mind right now! Do it!

[bulletofhope]

Hmmmm...

[ Give him a minute to actually try and come up with something... ]

How about a quick tour of that music venue you created?

[scary_music]

Yeah, yeah, she can do that!

Okay, here we go! To the venue of music and booty shuffling!

[And she'll grab for his hand to drag him toward the venue]

[bulletofhope]

Right! I'm still amazed that it showed up so quickly, to be honest...

[ To the iBooty Shuffle? ]

[scary_music]

Ibuki thought it'd take her longer, too! But then... uwah! A new core! More land, and random buildings! One of them was almost perfect for what Ibuki needed, so, so, she just needed to renovate it!

The magic of the monument! Amazing!

[To iBooty Shuffle!]

[bulletofhope]

. . . we've been finding a lot of cores recently, haven't we?

[ So many events, so little time to catch up and process everything...! ]

I've been out of the loop of what happened mainly because someone has to stay behind and keep an eye on things here... do you know what else I might have missed, Ibuki-san?

[scary_music]

Um...

Ibuki's been staying here, too, Makoto-chan. Staying at the Bastion while a core hunt is going on may be no place for a mighty warrior, but but...

...

Makoto-chan, Ibuki is no mighty warrior. Look at her horns, Makoto-chan! Look! They're not horns of steel! It's just fluffy hair, cute and adorable!

Feel them, Makoto-chan! Ibuki will prove she's not a mighty warrior!

[And she bends over so that she can poke at Makoto with her hair horns...]

[bulletofhope]

Ah... wait, you don't have to--

[ And well. Now he's being poked by hair horns. What... even happened here, Naegi's not sure how this happened... ]

I... I see...

[ . . . what does she use on her hair, though? It's actually softer than he was anticipating... ]

[scary_music]

Oh, but, but, you weren't there for the meeting, were you, Makoto-chan?

The Urara-chans! Their crops, a terrible thing was happening with their crops! So we're sending them food and stuff! And, and... well, we're building stuff so we can have more food, in case they move here or we need to send them more food or... well, well, Ibuki's no good at political stuff, so she's not really sure of what much of anything is going on, except that we need to stockpile more food just in case???

[bulletofhope]

. . . wait, we found more survivors other than ourselves?

[ Don't get Naegi wrong, he does catch the entire bit of information that Ibuki just gave him, but...

Other survivors besides themselves? That's kinda awesome! ]

[scary_music]

Well, well, apparently they've been known about for a looooooong time? Ibuki had no clue about them, either, until the meeting!

There's like... a bunch of political stuff involved, too, and then, suddenly, doki dokis were flying between Zuko-chan and Aoi-chan! But Aoi-chan did the tsundere thing when Ibuki called them out on it, and Ibuki had to flee!

[... that last bit might be totally unrelated to the subject at hand]

[bulletofhope]

Huh. That's... actually pretty good. That would mean that there's other settlements out there, right? Which means we might be able to see our friends again!

[ Naegi can't help but grin, but then he pauses as Ibuki mentions that last bit... ]

... huh. I didn't know that! You think they like each other like that, or...?
