Jumps Fueled by Core Strength

Here we are, gals! This is where we'll hide the next batch of eggs.

It's the barbecue area!

It's actually used for several different purposes, but I suppose the barbecue would be what your remember it for, Aruru-chan.

It was so fun getting to chow down on all those grilled meats and veggies!

And the marshmallows we toasted for dessert were sooo good!

Heheh. Yes. Barbecues are popular with students, and it's surprisingly effective in the school's PR efforts, too.

Welp, a growing student's got to eat!

Which means lots of meat and vegetables! Ohhh, just talking about it is making me all hungry.

How about we take a break once we've hidden the eggs, then?
((Yaaay!))

Since we're hiding them outdoors... Maybe in the bushes?

Good call! I'll put one behind this bench... Hmm. Do you think this is too obvious a spot, Shizuha-chan?

I wonder...

When people are searching for things, they look for what catches their eye, which means anything at eye level or below.

Hiding something overhead can make it pretty difficult o spot.

Oh-hoh! So up in a tree might be good.

Lalafin Jump! Hup!

Wha...?

There it is! The Lalafin Jump!

Whup! How's that, Shizuha? I wedged it between some branches!

Th-That's a good idea, but I'm not sure Tsukasa and Misora-chan will be able to reach it.

Oh, that's no good, then. Time for a second Lalafin Jump! Hyaah!

Yoink! Welcome back, little eggy! Now, where to hide you next?

Your jumping ability never ceases to amaze.

Jumping is my special skill! Heheh!

Just be careful when you're wearing a skirt, okay?

Ack...!

Heheh. Say, Aruru-chan, why are you in such a narrow space?

I figured I'd try hiding an egg between these two trees, but the space is juuust the right size for me and now I can't get out!

It's amazing that you can keep smiling at times like this, Aruru.

Still, do you think you can help me pretty soon? Maybe you can pull me out?

Hm? Or maybe it'd be better to push?

If only I were a superhero, I could save you by pushing these two trees apart.

My lack of physical strength is my big weak point. I should really work on building muscle.

If you work out your muscles too hard, it might make it difficult for you to grow taller, though.

Wasn't that a myth, though?

Age-appropriate workouts are fine, but they say you should avoid anything that puts a burden on the bones and joints. Like bunny-hopping and such.

B-Bunny...

Uh, hellp? Isn't anyone gonna pull me or push me?

Oh, sorry! You've been smiling this whole time so I forgot you were in a bind there!

I'm sorry. We'll get you out right away.

Okay, I'll look distressed, then! Oh, help me!

All right, Operation Save Aruru is underway!
Lalafin and Rabbits

The egg hunt sure was fun, wasn't it?

We had a lot of fun looking for the eggs, and Shizuha-senpai was happy!

Thanks for helping us tidy up after, too!

Everyone pitching in to clean up after an event feels like it's just the Frontier thing to do, y'know?

"It is a dirty bird that fouls its own nest." Gotta keep that in mind.

Still, cleaning up when an event is done is kind of sad.

I wish I could wear my ears a little longer...

They look super good on you, Lalafin-senpai!

I bet they'd look good on you, too! Oh, maybe next year you can be a rabbit, Misora!

Oh, no thanks. I think you're a better fit for that than me. You're the one who's always decking herself out in bunny stuff, after all.

You've even got rabbits on your hairclips and shoes.

I was surprised when I first learned we didn't have uniform shoes here, but I was even more shocked when I saw what Lalafin-senpai had on.

Me and rabbits go way back!

Oh, that's right. You'd mentioned that you had some rabbits at home, yeah?

Well, just one rabbit, actually, but yeah.

But yes, I do have a rabbit at home! Taking care of multiple rabbits is suuuper tough.

Oh, really? I had no idea.

Yeah! The books I have say rabbits are extremely territorial, so if you're going to keep more than one, you need to make sure they get along.

Someday I want to find a rabbit who gets along with the one I have now, but...

For now I'm busy with practice, and I don't want to put more stress on my mom, so it's just the one.

Ah, so that's why. You put a lot of thought into this, huh, Lalafin?

Pets are an important part of the family, after all!

You always have been a superhero at hear, Lalafin-senpai! I think that's a great attitude to have!

Heheheh. Thanks! In return, here's some useful rabbit trivia for you!

Did you know that rabbits don't actually make a "boing" sound?

Uh...what sound DO they make?

Ummm...

Bunbunbunbun!

Hahahah! What are you going to do if Misora actually believes that?

Come on, I would NOT!

Hmmm. That's too bad...

Why would you even lie about that?

I mean, just... She had this bright, trusting look in her eyes and I had to just go for it.

Hey, c'mon! I'm not a grade-schooler, here!

Well, you are an adorable underclassman.

Yeah! If we were both rabbits, our personalities would mesh fine, and we'd be great friends!

If that happened, maybe I'd have to keep you as my pets!

What are you talking about? If Lalafin-senpai and I are gonna be rabbits, then you, Shizuha-senpai, and Aruru are gonna be, too!

And the five of us would be the fastest and fluffiest of friends!

Erm...

(Okat, so I know I'm not actually going to turn into a rabbit, but imagining it might be a little fun...)

I looove bunnies! I want to wear this costume to class!

I'm doing my very, very best to become a star Stage Girl! And so... And so...!

I'm going to eat these carrot sticks! I'm Bunnyfin right now, so I can do it!

Down the hatch! Om nom nom... Wait, these are...actually kind of tasty! The Bunnyfin magic is working!
