[913] The camera follows shakily into a narrow alley shrouded in morning mist, the dampness of the night rain still lingering on the flagstone road. Momoka Hanyu, wrapped in a coarse cloth haori from the play, waves to the director holding the microphone while jogging: "Wait until I've finished saying hello—"

[Code Name] Haruka | ||
| Comprehensive Physical Examination | ||
[Physical Strength] Standard | ||
| Clinical Analysis | ||
Haruka, a fairly well-known entertainer from Higashi's Minami-in. Her real name is Shino Haruka, and her stage name is Hanyu Momoka. Recommended by Operator Hoshiguma, she signed a contract with Rhodes Island to handle communication between Rhodes Island and Higashi. At her own request, she also participates in some field missions. | ||
| Clinical Diagnosis and Analysis | ||
Imaging tests show clear outlines of the operator's internal organs with no abnormal shadows. No Originium particles were detected in the circulatory system, and there are no signs of Oripathy infection. At this stage, she is confirmed to be uninfected. | ||
| Archive File I | ||
Many operators hesitate when choosing their codenames, but Miss Haruka's reaction was particularly special. The person Hoshiguma recommended to us was named Momoka, and Miss Haruka initially said, "Just call me Momoka." However, after studying the Rhodes Island contract, visiting the facilities on board, and listening to introductions from personnel officers, medical operators, and even Utage (and Kirara, who was dragged along by Utage) who came to watch the fun, she no longer seemed as composed as she first appeared. Instead, she began to hesitate and ultimately chose her real name, "Haruka," as her codename. Despite this, when recording her signature, her first instinct was to write the carefully designed "Hanyu Momoka" signature; it wasn't until a personnel officer who knew a bit of Higashinese reminded her that she smiled apologetically and signed the name "Haruka" stroke by stroke. | ||
| Archive File 2 | ||
In her induction test, Haruka demonstrated a talent for Originium Arts closely related to water. She has a hobby of blowing bubbles and carries bubble solution with her, blowing some whether she's in a good or bad mood. Her bubble solution is just ordinary stuff picked up from a store, but the bubbles she blows are not only colorful but also last for a long time. Perhaps by some lucky stroke of cross-disciplinary intuition, her Originium Arts only achieve their best effect when manifested in the form of floating bubbles. Her talent in this area might not be exceptionally outstanding, but it is highly versatile and can play a unique role in battle. She also enthusiastically named some specific casting methods after her past album titles and song names. | ||
| Archive File 3 | ||
When she first arrived at Rhodes Island, the people Haruka visited most often were operators who kept pets. Whether it was common pets like Beasties or Cloudbeasts, or less common ones like Metal Crabs and Sandbeasts, or even the plants and flowers in the Convalescence Garden, they all made Haruka's eyes light up as she stared at them intently, sitting for an entire afternoon. But when operators invited her to touch these fluffy little things (and some not-so-fluffy ones), or suggested she raise something herself, she would always pull her hands back as if she had received an electric shock, shaking her head repeatedly. | ||

After leaving the entertainment agency under the Kanasekikai to start her own business, Haruka's—or rather, Hanyu Momoka's—acting career, like her plant, went through a period of considerable hardship. | ||
| Promotion Record | ||
The economy, stupid, the economy. Everything for the economy. As long as the numbers are still growing, nothing is a problem. In today's Higashi, everything revolves around this word, without exception. Don't believe it? Think for yourself then, give me a few examples. | ||

| Appointed as Assistant | I thought my work as an idol was already very tiring, but I didn't expect your schedule to be even fuller than mine. Cross this out, cross this out too—there, proper rest is also very important! | File:Yao CN 001.mp3 | File:Yao zh CN 001.mp3 |
| Conversation 1 | When I first debuted, I had to handle all the chores like making promotional posters and tailoring performance outfits myself to save money. But because of that, I learned a lot of practical skills... Hehe, look, I embroidered a little Scaly Beast on the inside of my work uniform's cuff. Isn't it cute? | File:Yao CN 002.mp3 | File:Yao zh CN 002.mp3 |
| Talk 2 | This pudding looks so delicious... My agency never let me eat it before, and now there's no one to stop me—no, for the sake of my health, I can't have any more sugar at this hour—Doctor, don't eat it in front of me on purpose! | File:Yao CN 003.mp3 | File:Yao zh CN 003.mp3 |
| Talk 3 | When I was little, my elders told me many scary ghost stories, which made me always afraid of those things. But after I debuted, many horror movie directors invited me to be the female lead, because they said my screams felt the most realistic... Dammit, that's the one thing I don't want to be recognized for! | File:Yao CN 004.mp3 | File:Yao zh CN 004.mp3 |
| Talk after Promotion 1 | Rhodes Island's confidentiality work is really good. It's been so many days and not a single tabloid has found my trail... Eh, could it be that I've become a has-been? I'm not really out of style, am I? No, no, I'm going back tomorrow! | File:Yao CN 005.mp3 | File:Yao zh CN 005.mp3 |
| Talk after Promotion 2 | This is a photo of me with the local residents after my first movie wrapped up. Yes, the residents of Kaji-cho... Maybe one day, when I've performed in enough cities, I'll see them again among the cheering crowds below the stage. I'm sure of it. | File:Yao CN 006.mp3 | File:Yao zh CN 006.mp3 |
| Talk after Trust Increase 1 | Scalebeasts are really cute. I love those golden ornamental scalebeasts. When you put them in a transparent bag filled with water and hold them up to the sun, you can watch them blow bubbles. Just like this, pop, pop—ah, I can't speak clearly with my lips puckered like that! | File:Yao CN 007.mp3 | File:Yao zh CN 007.mp3 |
| Talk after Trust Increase 2 | Last night I dreamed that a bunch of bubbles slowly lifted me up into the sky. The further I drifted, the further I got from home. I knew I'd fall eventually, but the view from up there was so beautiful, so I kept flying and flying with all my might. Even when I had to rely on blowing bubbles myself, I still wanted to keep flying. | File:Yao CN 008.mp3 | File:Yao zh CN 008.mp3 |
| Talk after Trust Increase 3 | I've always had a bad memory, and I get so nervous in front of superiors that I can't remember anything. Technically, you're my superior too, so why am I—uugh! I-I mean, don't be mean to me in the future, or else I'll—what was I going to do—uugh... | File:Yao CN 009.mp3 | File:Yao zh CN 009.mp3 |

| Operator Reporting | Wait, even though it's a recommendation from an acquaintance, please let me study the terms before signing these contracts—no excessively long contract periods, no sky-high penalty fees... It seems this isn't a shady agency, so I can sign with peace of mind! | File:Yao CN 011.mp3 | File:Yao zh CN 011.mp3 |

| Elite Promotion 1 | The promotion speed here is much faster than I imagined. Back then, it took me a long time to go from trainee to official debut, and I even had to pay tuition to the agency... Sigh, when will Rhodes Island enter the idol industry? | File:Yao CN 013.mp3 | File:Yao zh CN 013.mp3 |

| Anniversary Celebration | On this day of celebration at Rhodes Island, I've brought you news from Higashi—everything is well in Mifune, and I've recently been receiving performance invitations from other cities one after another, including yours. Doctor, for next year's celebration, will we still be sharing each other's happiness like this? | File:Yao CN 044.mp3 | File:Yao zh CN 044.mp3 |
Early LifeShino Yao was born in Ushirokawa City on the southern border of Higashi to parents Shino Kazuhiko and Shino Kazumiko. Ushirokawa is the territory of the Kanashiro family, and the local specialty is plastic and chemical plants—the waste liquid discharged by the chemical plants contaminated Ushirokawa's water cycle system. The Kanashiro family suppressed this matter and treated the victims perfunctorily. It wasn't until the locals had been drinking the contaminated water for many years that the matter was exposed. Although Yao grew up relatively healthy, her father passed away when she was five or six, and her mother's health was also very poor. Yao was selected by Kinbei (Mifune Kohei)'s agency and was semi-forced to be sent to Mifune to become an idol. Shortly after she began her entertainment career, her mother also passed away. Because of her fame at the time and their desire not to make her Ushirokawa origin public, her agency did not agree to let her return to Ushirokawa for the funeral. Furthermore, to prevent her surname "Shino" from leading people to guess her origin, they gave her a stage name with a northern impression, "Hanyu Momoka." The agency forbade Yao from telling others the real reason why she couldn't return for the funeral, so her relatives cut off contact with her after helping her handle the funeral arrangements. Yao was constantly indoctrinated by the agency with the value that being an entertainer was her everything. With no other choice, Yao could only force herself to keep going, letting the identity of "Hanyu Momoka" become her entire life. Due to her busy work, Yao's life was under immense pressure. She gave away the Cloud Beast she brought from her hometown because she was unable to care for it. After that, she tried growing various plants to relieve stress, even giving different plants names, In addition to regular entertainment activities, Haruka is also often required by her agency to participate in various ghost story-related activities; because she is naturally timid, her genuine reactions when frightened make her gain a lot of popularity every time she does a ghost story-themed livestream. SideStory "Mound"![]() In the summer of 1099, at a concert, Haruka shared her experience of acting in a movie for the first time, playing the role of the rumored "One-Horned Oni" in "The Legend of Mikoto." She mentioned having a certain affection for Kaji-cho, where the filming took place. A fan from Kaji-cho named Yoshiaki took the stage and pleaded with Haruka to help the declining Kaji-cho, and Haruka agreed. During the encore of the concert, the real "One-Horned Oni" from the rumors—Hoshiguma—burst onto the stage while being pursued by the police, giving Haruka quite a scare. Afterward, while Haruka was relaxing alone at Moriuchi Toru's (Operator Matsukiri) oden stall, she encountered Hoshiguma again, though this time the "One-Horned Oni" was submissively taken away by the police. The next day, Haruka was informed by her manager, Mio, that she was being attacked by public opinion online due to her previous statement at the concert about helping Kaji-cho. The agency director warned Haruka to watch her words and actions and required her to go to the "haunted house" in Kaji-cho where the "one-horned oni" resides for a ghost story livestream. Haruka worried this would deepen misunderstandings about Kaji-cho and was genuinely afraid of the legend of the one-horned oni, but she had no choice but to go. In the so-called "haunted house"—which was actually Hoshiguma's former residence—Haruka encountered Hoshiguma again. Mistaking her for a ghost, she hurriedly grabbed a rod-like object in an attempt at self-defense, making a fool of herself in the panic. However, this livestream further increased her popularity. Feeling uneasy, Haruka intended to clarify things personally on social media, but the post she sent was quickly frozen and ordered to be deleted. That night, Haruka felt uneasy and unable to sleep, so she turned on the TV, only to see a terrifying video of Mifune, a high-ranking leader of the Kinseikai from her agency, discussing with Mio about killing Haruka or infecting her with Oripathy. She learned the reason they were doing this was because she had taken the broken blade of Sanoguchi, who supposedly died in the haunted house according to the ghost stories. Soon after, Mio indeed came to her door. Having lost trust in Mio, Haruka hurriedly jumped from the second floor of her residence and fled the pursuit of Mio and her underworld subordinates on an electric scooter. She rode all the way to Moriuchi's oden stall and encountered Hoshiguma once again. With Hoshiguma's help, she escaped the pursuit of the mob and headed to the Enmusubi Shrine to find "Gods" as previously agreed with Moriuchi. Inside the shrine, the two met a kind and amiable nine-tailed divine priest (Suzuran's father), and also encountered two "Gods"—a Kamaitachi Beastlord who loves ghost stories and is rumored in the human world to be "Wanyudo," and a Dog Beastlord who only appears before those who will soon find a good match. ![]() When the ninjas and reporters arranged by Mifune surrounded the shrine, Hoshiguma and Haruka escaped with the help of the company and met the Kamaitachi Beastlord at Moriuchi's stall to exchange information about "ghost stories." The Kamaitachi Beastlord informed Haruka and the others that the so-called ghost stories were actually covers used by the Kinseikai to hide their illicit industries. Haruka realized that she, who was arranged by the agency to promote the spread of these ghost stories, was actually nothing more than Mifune's tool, and the idol work she valued was merely a front for Mifune's interests. After shaking off the ninjas' attack and Moriuchi being captured by them, Hoshiguma and Haruka returned to Haruka's original residence to hide. Haruka discovered that Hasuke, the plant she cared for, was recklessly cut by Mifune's men. She was extremely angry, rarely making Hoshiguma feel a strong killing intent from her. Haruka told Hoshiguma about her past but still asked Hoshiguma to call her "Momoka," because she still believed she could only be the idol "Momoka Hanyu" and had no second choice. ![]() Haruka and Hoshiguma went to Kaji-cho to find the current chairman of the Kinseikai—Tessai, who had been sidelined by Mifune and was stubbornly defending Kaji-cho. Tessai agreed to repair Hoshiguma's damaged Hannya. Hoshiguma went alone to find Mifune to save Moriuchi, but unexpectedly fell for Mifune's diversionary tactic. Mifune came to Kaji-cho, using Tessai's foster son Tetsuya to blackmail Tessai into handing over Kaji-cho and Hannya, and subsequently murdered Tessai. Haruka and Yoshiteru were taken away by Mifune and imprisoned in Kinseikai territory. Haruka met "Sarasa," the shinobi who previously allowed her to see Mifune's conspiracy on TV and was also her fan. With Sarasa's help, she contacted Hoshiguma and escaped with Yoshiteru, deciding to reveal Mifune's conspiracy to all of Onogami. When they intended to start the livestream, Mio attacked the three. After some maneuvering, Hoshiguma arrived and repelled Mio. Changing into her idol outfit, Haruka gathered her courage and, with Sarasa's help, told the truth about the "ghost stories," Mifune's conspiracy, and the real experiences and true self of "Haruka Shino" to all of Onogami through the largest media outlet controlled by Mifune, "Kinseidai." ![]() ![]()
![]() Mifune's forces went completely bankrupt due to Haruka's livestream. While fleeing the Kanashi-kai's territory, Haruka was taken hostage by a novice ninja. Upon learning that this ninja was the one who killed "Kanosuke," an infuriated Haruka broke free from her restraints and beat the ninja senseless with physical force. If Yoshimitsu hadn't arrived to pull her away to escape, the ninja might have actually been beaten to death.
After Hoshiguma defeated Mifune, Haruka held a small "fireworks festival" using sparklers for Hoshiguma, who had missed the summer fireworks festival. This allowed Hoshiguma to feel a rare sense of healing during this convoluted summer, and Hoshiguma also met the Canine Beast Sovereign she had failed to see earlier. With Mifune's downfall, Haruka was able to escape the exploitative agency controlled by the Kanashi-kai, establishing her own entertainment agency and continuing her idol activities. After Hoshiguma left, Haruka had a good cry, but Hoshiguma also recommended Rhodes Island's contact information to her. Haruka decided to go to Rhodes Island for a while, to have her own time as "Shino Haruka" in a place where perhaps no one knew "Hanyu Momoka." While talking with Moriuchi and Yoshimitsu, Haruka learned that Sarasa was actually the eldest daughter of the Nishikiori family, one of the four great families of Kitain. From the operator files, it is known that Haruka later established contact and reached an understanding with her relatives back home,Perfumer...gave Haruka a potted plant just like Kanosuke. As Haruka returned to her idol career, although there was some controversy for a while because she no longer did ghost story programs, her career returned to the right track once everyone got used to the changes in "Hanyu Momoka." |

Haruka's biological prototype isGoldfish. The prototype of goldfish in HigashiJapanholds significant cultural meaning. It is said to have been introduced during the Muromachi period fromChinainto Japan, officially sparking a goldfish-rearing craze during the Edo period. Today, it is regarded as a symbol of "summer" in Japan, and goldfish scooping is usually an indispensable activity at Japanese summer festivals.
Haruka claims to have a poor memory in her character lines, which may be a reference to the common belief that goldfish only have a few seconds of memory, though subsequent research has shown that goldfish memory may last much longer than just a few seconds.
The water pollution incident that broke out in Haruka's hometown, Ushirokawa, may be inspired by the 1956 Minamata disease incident in Minamata Bay, Japan, which was also caused by industrial wastewater discharge.
