## tl;dr
!~ The Story Itself ~!
- Pretty comfy story, if a little basic.
- Message of the story is clear.
- I liked how they foreshadowed the rats, even though it's probably because I knew them already from another event.

!~ Difficulty ~!
- None! Got 100% comprehension at last.
- Misaki randomly switching to kana only almooost tripped me, but I managed.

## The Story Itself

It's your usual we're-in-a-crisis-so-let's-raise-some-money story. Things are mysteriously disappearing from the orphanage, can't buy things because no money, get a job at the farm, they get the idea to promote the farm's products, and then they get the idea to hold a play, the rats who were behind the mysteriously disappearing things attack during the play, the duo deal with them, end of story. 

It'd be a lame-ass story if it weren't for the message it was trying to tell. Both Kurumi and Misaki seem to be autistic, you see. In one part of the story, Kurumi found that being in her new outfit was embarrassing and was only able to get out there because Misaki pulled her hand. In another part of the story, Misaki got stage fright and was only able to get out there because Kurumi pulled her hand. There's your message, "sometimes, you just need to get a little push", or more specifically, "sometimes, you just need to have your hand pulled", heh. You could argue it's also a little basic, but it's cute how it's reciprocated for both parties. And one being in an animated scene and another getting a CG really helped drive the point.

Regarding the rats, I already knew about them from the Grand Dream in Parade event. When the story brought up that foodstuffs were disappearing from the orphanage's pantry, it immediately clicked to me who'd be behind that. I still wondered what the rats needed the pot for, though. And it turns out, they needed it to make weapons for their attack on Elizabeth Park. Other than that, I think they did a good job making the audience feel the presence throughout the story. Starting from the disappearing things in the kitchen, to Misaki's room in the orphanage getting shat on, to the members of Elizabeth Park discussing about Rin's exploits of making the rats fuck off from the farm in the first place. The last point being very obvious, I think I would've figured out it was rats anyways even if I didn't learn about them from the Grand Dream Park event.

## Difficulty

At last! 100% comprehension (1192/1192)! Having the event centered around a child and a mature lady definitely helped. Sarendia Orphanage being the main focus also certainly helped. I was sure that I'd lose my perfect comprehension when Mahiru showed up, but she didn't make any jokes here, fortunately. Her being a joker is referenced here and there, but at most, it was only like this:

M: Can't wait for your comedy show!
K: What comedy show?

The only semblance of difficulty in this event was when Misaki randomly used katakana only in one of the intimacy episodes. At times like this, it's easier to just ignore the text and listen to the voice clip. The difficulty comes in the form of this showing up in an intimacy episode, because you can't bring up the textlog to easily replay the clip. You have to keep reopening the episode to listen to it.

That's all for now. See ya on the next blogpost.

I wonder how many children would Kurumi want to have?
