Event Story
Tsubaki is thrilled that the annual summer festival, where catgirls take center stage, is finally here. However, her excitement quickly fades when she learns she’s scheduled to work that day. Shigure tells her that La Soleil will also be operating a food truck at the festival, and that the vendor who contributes the most to the festivities will earn the honor of riding the Neko Mikoshi (festival shrine float).
Joined by Fig and Hozuki, Tsubaki sets her sights on becoming the festival’s top attraction while carrying the hopes of her friends and the pride of La Soleil. But when the long-awaited day of the festival finally arrives, the food truck is staffed by only Shigure, Tsubaki, Fig, and Hozuki…
