Papa! I'm going out now!

Wait a moment, Hibiki. Take your jacket with you. Look outside.

Huh? [The girl moves past the camera and there's a loud EEEEEEH?! as she exclaims,] What in the world is going on?!

Snow in Kanon Town at this time of the year. My my, I hadn't expected it. The snow had already melted.

Geez, the weather's been so impractical lately! I'm going to still practice though.

I think the school has been cancelled actually.

... no way.

Sie sagen, die beste Zeit in Ihrem Leben ist die Jugend!

Papa you know I hate it when you speak German around me, I can't understand it! Whatever, I'm going out. Kanade probably made something and it's my duty to eat it!

"They say the best time in your life is youth."

In case you wanted a translation for that.

[Passing on knowledge is a lot more important than welcoming someone to the community.]

Whoa what the?! Papa! Did you leave the Skype on?!

No!

[Hibiki looks at the computer with Yuri's face on it and rubs her head.]

I hate to be rude but who are you? And how did you get my papa's skype number?

...You're really dedicated to food, aren't you?

[Sounds familiar, to say the least.]

Re: [video]

[fightbymoonlight]

[Oh... right. It would be kind of confusing if a stranger suddenly started talking to you out of nowhere. Hadn't thought of that.]

Ah, I'm sorry. Actually, this kind of appeared on an internet community... I didn't contact you exactly, I just happened to see it and responded.

Re: [video]

[wildmelody]

... what. Really?

[Hibiki tries to close it and fails.] Huh... why won't it close?

Re: [video]

[wildmelody]

Well of course, Kanade makes the best cakes. [a beat] WHA?! Another?!

Re: [video]

[iwontforgivethis]

... Yeah. This web community does that. A lot.

Re: [video]

[fightbymoonlight]

Yes, that happens. It's a bit hard to explain. Or to believe, actually. Once the community makes contact with you, it won't let you close anything until you accept being a member.

It's best if you just go with it.

Re: [video]

[wildmelody]

I'm starting to see that... ugh, oh man, what's next? It starts snowing in April and then a weird community on my papa's computer.

Re: [video]

[wildmelody]

So this community... wanted me? [Hibiki, in ten hours you're going to encounter a talking cat. Deal with it.]

Re: [video]

[iwontforgivethis]

... I know you're not going to believe me, but that's the community's fault too.

Re: [video]

[fightbymoonlight]

Basically, yes. We're not really sure why the community chooses people, but it does. There's a lot of us, too.

So, welcome to the community. I'm Yuri Tsukikage.

Re: [video]

[wildmelody]

Huh, how many people? 10? 15?

Ah, Hibiki Hojo. Nice to meet you I guess...

Re: [video]

[wildmelody]

... a computer community can do that too? How... I didn't just land myself in some kind of western sci-fi plot did I?

[sunbloom]

You and this Kanade sound close, if you're going to see her to eat...

[Not accusatory, just an idle observation.]

[wildmelody]

[FFFFFFFFF Hibiki literally sputters.] Kanade? Close with her?! You must be joking.

[video]

[iwontforgivethis]

... We're pretty sure it's magic, actually.

And no, you haven't.

Re: [video]

[fightbymoonlight]

I'm not sure of the exact count. If I had to guess, I'd say the community has around to a hundred members, though. Maybe a bit less, maybe a bit more.

Nice to meet you as well, Hojo-san.

Re: [video]

[wildmelody]

Magic... sure, sure why not. It's not like there isn't weird things in my world anyhow... magic. Right...

Re: [video]

[wildmelody]

A hundred...! And people just talk to one another all the time? Huh, that's dedication.

Yeah... so do I call you Tsukikage-san then?

Re: [video]

[iwontforgivethis]

... What type of weird things?

Re: [video]

[wildmelody]

Eh, color coded guys stomping around in giant robots. We get a new batch every year.

Re: [video]

[fightbymoonlight]

Well, we don't really have much of a choice, as you can see for yourself. If you decide to ignore the community, it will just keep pestering you.

I don't really have much of a preference. If you prefer 'Yuri-san', that would be fine as well. I'm not picky.

Re: [video]

[wildmelody]

I'm starting to see that. People are coming out of the woodwork all over the place. Mostly girls though. Cept for the guy down there.

Yuri-san it is. I'm fine with it. Usually I don't use honorifics anyhow.
