Chapter 5

Night Spinning Song (ツムグウタ, Tsumuguuta) is the fifth chapter of the Yozakura Quartet manga.

Summary
In the office Ao and Akina are discussing the past incidents while Kotoha pretends to work. Kotoha shows off her plane ticket to Germany which she plans on heading during spring break to visit museums. Shido Mizuki enters the building along with Mina Tatebayashi and Kana Tatebayashi who is piggybacking on Shido due to having injured herself. Shido request for a bandaid which Kotoha creates using her Kotodama. While Kotoha explains her abilities to the twins, Akina sends her and Ao out on an errand to acquire more bandaids.

While out on the errand, Kotoha and Ao encounter Hime and Kyosuke sparring as Akina spectates. Having just defeated Kyosuke, Hime asks Kotoha to spar with her instead. As the two spar, Ao question Kyosuke why does he not take off his shackle to continue fighting. Kyosuke mentions how he unable to hold back is power and without the shackles it would be difficult for him to live in the town, while suggestively blaming Akina for the situation.

As Kotoha and Hime continue sparring, Hime accidentally destroys Kotoha’s ticket to Germany. Angered, Kotoha begins to fight more seriously, summoning a German Army-Made Flak 36 88mm Cannon. She fires a shot destroying a miniature elephant shaped slide in the background. Ao and Akina stop Kotoha from doing anymore damage as children are in the area. Kotoha transforms her weapon into a bird shaped shortbread which is then eaten by Ao.

Akina hits Kotoha on the forehead with a paper fan chastising her for not being more careful. Kotoha recalls the time when she fell and apologies to Akina and the children, creating cherry blossom the the children to enjoy. Kotoha laments her lost trip to Germany which she would have used to visit Koblenz Museum of Military Technology. Hime mentions a karaoke tournament later that night with the first prize being a trip to Germany. Kotoha’s delight is short lived as she soon realized she had lost her voice from the duel.
