Nagasawa is a girl who attends high school in Kumamoto Prefecture.

Although she was studying in the city, she was always tired of the farming life of her father and mother, facing the loess and back to the sky.

Just like the little girl who wants to go to Beijing to pursue her dream after watching a bloody TV series, Nagasawa Shinya has unlimited imagination about Tokyo - maybe she can meet a handsome male protagonist who likes her like in the TV series?

As for Kumamoto Prefecture?

Then Nagasawa really didn't have the slightest idea.

yes.

There are no beautiful and cute clothes in Tokyo, and there is no fashion trend.

Here, it seems that if you change your skirt to be shorter, you will be an outlier and will be criticized by the elders.

It's rustic, not trendy at all, everything is still in the Showa era...even the Shinkansen hasn't been connected yet!

This is Makoto Nagasawa’s understanding of Kumamoto Prefecture.

But this morning, it seemed to be different for Nagasawa.

"Do you want to watch the morning news again? Dad?" Nagasawa couldn't help complaining as he watched his father pick up the TV remote control and switch to the Kumamoto Prefecture news channel.

Today, she didn't have to go to school on Saturday, and she still had her favorite morning drama to watch, but her father took the remote control away.

Nagasawa couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed - Kumamoto Prefecture is such a small place, is it possible that something big could happen?

She didn't want to watch the morning news anyway.

But complaining is all about complaining, and in the end, Nagasawa could only eat while accompanying his father to watch the Kumamoto Prefecture morning news.

"A piece of news is playing below." The host on the TV screen smiled and reported: "According to our reporter's understanding, the Kumamoto Prefectural Government welcomed a new, special civil servant yesterday."

New, special civil servant?

Nagasawa stuffed fish meat into his mouth and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Isn't it just a job as a civil servant? It's just such a boring thing.

But since it can be in the news...could it be possible that he is still a connected person?

Thinking of this, she became a little more energetic, and the female gossip mentality made her continue reading.

Then...she was so stunned that she didn't even eat.

"New civil servant? Kumamon?"

Watching the TV with his mouth covered, when the black Kumamon appeared, Nagasawa's eyes were straightened for a moment with a bored look on his face.

"So cute!" Nagasawa covered his face and cried out softly.

Yes! This is too cute!

Kumamon's honest and cute appearance, coupled with his cute and adorable movements, made Nagasawa really want to reach out and touch him.

And when she saw Kumamon falling down and then hugging the thigh of a beautiful female staff member and refusing to get up, she couldn't help but laugh happily.

And when Kumamon bent his belly and waved to the camera, Nagasawa couldn't help but take several photos with his mobile phone.

After just one meeting, she felt like she had been captured by this silly, naive, and a little bit cute bad bear.

But the morning news only lasted for thirty minutes. When the announcer said, "Tomorrow, our Kumamon will go to Osaka for a friendly exchange," and switched to another program, Nagasawa was completely dumbfounded.

He said: "Is this gone?"

Why is the morning news so short today?

I want to see it again!

She turned to look at her father beside her and couldn't help but ask: "Dad, is there any morning news next?"

"Ah?" Nagasawa's father was confused by what Nagasawa said: "No, the morning news is only half an hour. You can watch your favorite morning drama."

"Huh...?" Nagasawa looked disappointed. Although she had switched the channel to her favorite morning drama, she had no intention of watching the male protagonist and the female protagonist having sex with each other on the screen.

All my heart went directly to "Kumamon".

She held her face up and sat in the living room watching TV, as if she had lost her life goal.

after awhile.

Her cell phone rang, and Nagasawa took a quick look. It turned out that it was her good friend Thief Ma who had called her.

She answered the call with a bored look on her face, and Nagasawa Zhen directly heard the excited voice of the thieves over there: "Zhen, have you seen today's morning news?! Do you know Kumamon?"

As soon as he heard the other party mention Kumamon, Nagasawa immediately became energetic and said in the same excited tone: "I know, I know! It's a new civil servant, right? Kumamon is so cute, I really want to raise one."

Only."

Two bears themselves.

Just because of one Kumamon... we somehow have a common language...

On the other side, under the official forum established by the Kumamoto Prefectural Government, a word quickly became popular - Kumamon Bear.

At this time, the Kumamoto Prefectural Government.

"According to Teacher Higashino's suggestion, the news has been released."

"Very good, the next step is to deal with the Osaka Prefectural Government."

Seeing the advice given by Higashinoji on promoting Kumamon, Kirito Fumugure couldn't help but mutter to herself.

This Mr. Higashino...this is so wicked.

Looking at the words above, Shen Muqiren couldn't help but smile.

This is really immoral.

...

"Hmm...? Kumamon is coming to our city today for friendly exchanges...? Ah, that matter has been prepared. Well, you are welcome at any time."

Yoshiko Fukaya, who is the Minister of Publicity and Development of Osaka City, answered the phone and nodded repeatedly.

After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but shake his head.

As the big brother of the Publicity and Development Department, of course he knows what the Publicity and Development Department in Kumamoto Prefecture means.

It's nothing more than launching a new mascot image and wanting to promote it in Osaka City.

And this requires their help.

However, Yoshiko Fukaya in Kumamoto Prefecture actually knows that even if the mascot is introduced, it will not increase much tourism performance.

You can’t expect one Kumamon to become popular all over Japan, right?

He sat down and looked at the time.

It doesn't take long for Kumamon to come to Osaka, probably only an hour and a half.

The reception car there is also ready, waiting to receive Kumamon.

An hour passed quickly, and the phone in Fukaya Yoshiko's office rang.

He picked up the phone.

Then--

"What? Kumamon is missing? He actually came to Osaka a long time ago? Do you want to surprise Osaka citizens?"

This time Yoshiko Fukaya was stunned.

The promotion of Kumamon has been launched, and all the major media are aware of the joint activities, but now the main promotion person has disappeared...

And Kumamon is also an active civil servant in Kumamoto Prefecture...

Yoshiko Fukaya took a deep breath, calmed down her thoughts a little, and didn't panic too much before asking, "How is it going in Kumamoto Prefecture?"

"It seems that the missing person notice has been printed and will be posted in Osaka city later... Is it okay? Minister Fukaya?"

"It's okay." It's a good thing that the other party is willing to cooperate with the work here.

However, since Kumamoto Prefecture has already taken such measures, Osaka City cannot lag behind.

He thought for a while and said simply: "Let's hold a press conference."

Yoshito Fukaya was busy here, but when he didn't know it, there were many "bear hunting revelations" quietly appearing on the streets of Osaka.

Osaka Station, which is known as the largest station in Western Japan, at this time——

"Kumamon? A current civil servant in Kumamoto Prefecture...?"

Looking at the pot-bellied Kumamoto bear on the bear-hunting revelation, several high school girls were chirping and excited: "It's so cute. Is this the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture? Speaking of which, where is Kumamoto Prefecture?"

Girls already like cute and novel things. After seeing this bear-hunting tip, they became interested. Although they didn’t plan to go through the streets and alleys to look for them...but they might meet them on the road.

They began to search for "Kumamon" in the vast streets intentionally or unintentionally.

Shinsaibashi Shopping Street, known as the busiest shopping street in Osaka——

"Inspiration for finding a bear? Temple-kun, it looks so interesting? Is it really missing? This Kumamon mascot."

The girl with a curious face pulled her boyfriend and happily looked at the bear hunting tips that were distributed.
