[So much going wrong could only be the work of something nefarious, Chris tells herself. For once, that exists in the gray area between legitimate concern and her having a convenient excuse for her misfortune rather than just being one or the other.
She's had sake spilled on her, had to deal with torn kimonos, help mend said kimonos, helped replace broken taiko drums, and comforted crying kids. And... at the moment, she's still wrapped up in all of that. At some point, after them recognizing someone else who's come to help, she'll turn to them with a cross look on her face.]
Hey you! Get over here! I could use some help!
[Festival 2]
[Later, however, Chris is taking a very different role in the festival. One of the performers had gotten sick, and Tsubasa had opted to recruit Chris to take her place.
To say Chris was nervous was an understatement. But... she had resolved to make this change, and so there was no walking out of it this time. And so, she strode out onto the outdoor stage, and faced the crowd, wearing a red, floral print yukata.]
U-uhm, hello. ["No, you need to be more confident," she told herself. She straightened her back, and stood more resolutely.] This was kind of unplanned, and I'm filling in, but I'm prepared to give it my all for everyone. This may not be exactly what people expect from this festival, but... this is a song that I think everyone can appreciate.
[As she sings, Chris definitely gives it her all, and by the time she finishes, her cheeks are red and she looks somewhat overwhelmed. Despite it all, there's a wide smile on her face, and she gives a quick bow and a "thank you" before leaving the stage.
She did it. She really did it. She sang in front of everyone outside of her school.
It was an incredible feeling.]
[The Parade]
[And there's the other shoe dropping. Chris figured it was too good to be true.]
Killter ichaival tron!
[In a flash of light, Chris transformed into her armored form, and instantly used her armed gear as launchers to shoot speakers out over the area. With it, her voice would carry as she announced:]
The parade area is an active crisis area! Vacate the area immediately!
[She set the warning to repeat, and with that, it was time to launch herself into battle. She transformed her armed gear into a pair of pistols, and began opening fire on the monstrous ayakashi. Dammit, she had to find Ginia or Luger, or someone she could jump into battle alongside...!]

It's called Happiness.
