"Happy Birthday Konata." Miyuki said.
"We wish to have time a good time today." Tsukasa said.
"Thanks, you guys. Maybe I can get more manga as a gift." Konata thanks them.
"This always happen to every birthday you have." Kagami said.
"I know. By the way, Yui would love to visit, but she said she got a headache." Yutaka said in a sad tone.
"It's fine. She usually acts weird whenever she comes here." Konata responded.
"Konata! Your package came today." Sojiro said while delivering her package to her.
"Awesome!" Konata yelled.
She opens the package.
"Look Kagami, I got eight manga and two CD albums."
"Yay, Congratulations." Kagami says it in non-excited way.
"And there's an envelop in the package." Miyuki said while looking at the envelop in the package.
"You're right." Konata responds.
She opens the package and saw four tickets to go to Japan Expo in Paris at July.
"Wow! Look!" Konata said.
"Four tickets to Paris!" Kagami said.
"Is it for us too?" Tsukasa asked.
"Let me read the note." Konata answered.
Dear Konata Izumi, you are welcome to go to France and visit the international anime convention, Japan Expo this July. You can decide to bring three guests for your trip and stay at Le Grand Paris and stay there for a week. From the headquarters located from Akihabara.
"So we four have a vacation at Paris. I can't wait to experience the otaku culture in a different far away country for the first time as a person." Konata said.
"But doesn't the west have less anime?" Kagami asked.
"Not as you think, but in Paris, a lot of people watch anime during their childhood." Konata replied.
"I went to Paris once and we went to that same hotel." Miyuki said.
"And how was it?" Konata asked.
"It was pretty nice." Miyuki answered.
"Can I come too?" Yutaka asked.
"Sorry but I only have four for me and my best friends." Konata said.
"You never left the country before." Sojiro said.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, and Miyuki can help us find the right path when we go to the airport this summer." Konata said.
"I wanna try out their foods and look at the paintings." Tsukasa said.
"And see cool tricks there." Kagami said.
"We all are gonna have a good time there." Konata said.
Several weeks later at the Tokyo International Airport, Konata, Kagami, Tsukasa, and Miyuki are at the seat area near the security checkup, surrounded with their friends, parents, and Konata's cousin, Yui.
"This is gonna be the best break!" Konata said excitedly.
"I never thought you would get a prize for your birthday for four tickets to Paris" Kagami said.
"I am gonna love this vacation" Tsukasa said it in a very happy way.
"This is my second trip to visit Paris, but with you three this time" Miyuki said.
"We will miss you, Konata" Yutaka said in a sad way.
"She's right" Sojiro said.
"Don't worry, you guys. I am gonna be gone for a week" Konata tries to make them comfortable.
"We will miss you both" Hiiragi's oldest sister told Kagami and Tsukasa.
"So do we" Tsukasa replied.
"Keep good eye on Tsukasa" Their mom suggested Kagami.
"Huh?" Tsukasa got confused.
"Sure" Kagami replied.
"Have a good flight! You are our sweet angel" Mrs. Takara compliment to Miyuki.
"I will, and I will help my friends to the hotel" Miyuki replied to her parents.
Each of their parents brought their international card to give to their daughters.
"Konata, use this card as a emergency like foods, phone call to us!" Sojiro handed the card to her.
"I will, I can survive this" Konata replied and tries to cheer up her father.
"Kagami, you may use this card on important things" Their dad gave her the card.
"This might be useful, thanks" Kagami thanked her parents.
"This is your savings and make sure you exchange these when you arrive to Paris" Mrs. Takara reminds Miyuki to go exchange later on.
"Thanks. I got everything ready" Miyuki replied.
"Good luck, my neighbor" Minami Iwasaki comment to Miyuki.
"I'll accept your thoughts" Miyuki said.
"You are gonna have fun over there just like a vacation" Misao Kusakabe talk to Kagami.
"Yeah, you're right" Kagami replied.
"You both will visit a lot of cool places in Paris" Ayano said to the twins.
"I always want to see the paintings and eat their food!" Tsukasa replied excitingly.
"I bet you would meet new doujin artists like me in Japan Expo" Hiyori said to Konata.
"Yeah, and I get to know the culture of Anime fandom over there" Konata said excitedly.
"As a American Otaku, I think you would also probably make friends with an Anime fan there" Patrica Martin assumes it.
"You bet. I am most known and I will get to talk a lot of people, and I can make a friend on a biggest fan!" Konata replies with more excitement.
Kagami laughs at her.
"Haha! You think you would find at least one fan that's just like your style? Come on, how would you find a person like that in Paris?" Kagami questioned her.
Now it shows Alya Cesaire coming out from a Manga Store and carries two new Manga.
"These are just released and they look fantastic! Can't wait to read them at home!" Alya said in her excitement.
Later when Alya goes to her own room, it shows some parts of her room filled with comics, manga, anime posters, video games, and toys. She opens the chest from her desk and looks at her ticket for Japan Expo that is held in the first week of July in Paris.
"Good thing I kept this ticket for two months. This is my third time attending Japan Expo, and they are selling out new merchandize on new Anime shows!" Alya talks to herself with passion. "I'll see if Marinette is free today."
She checks her phone and tries to call her, and she answers. She's busy helping her parents with their job.
"Well, I get that you wanted to help them out, but we can hang tomorrow" Alya replies to Marinette.
"Yeah, and I feel sorry if you are bored" Marinette apologized.
"I'm fine. I just brought myself two new manga from the store"
"I see, you really love those"
"Yeah"
After the phone call, she starts reading them. At night in Le Grand Paris, the hotel that Bourgeois Family owns, one of the staffs was checking the reservations on the computer.
"Sir, the room that's reserved in the third floor for these people, they will be arriving tomorrow at noon, and they are coming from Japan." Said from the staff in the desk, talking to the other one.
"I checked everywhere in that reservation and it's clean already."
"Good. I have their names in the board."
They both left the main entrance, and Chloe was at the seat, waiting for her manicure to arrive. She overheard from two staffs about the reservation.
"Interesting, they're from Japan. I hope they make sushi when they arrive." Chloe said it in a suspicious way.
Eventually, her manicure came and left the first floor. At Hawkmoth's Lair, he was mad that no one became evil for a few days.
"Darn it!" Hawkmoth shouted. "What is wrong with people today? I don't sense their anger as much recently."
He then begins thinking about the two superheroes.
"Eventually, I will find someone way powerful than all my previous akumatized villains. Don't worry Ladybug, I will have your miraculous at some point!"
He closed the window from his lair.
The next day near noon, Konata and her friends came out from the airport. They saw a guy with fire surrounded himself looking like a fire human, flying above the road.
"Ugh, did you see that?" Konata asked.
"Strange." Kagami replied.
"It could be fireworks" Tsukasa guessed.
"I don't think fireworks could be that big flying above the road" Miyuki corrects her.
"Anyway, we're outside the airport girls! We are now in Paris!" Konata said it in an exciting way.
"I want to eat their breads!" Tsukasa replied.
"And the paintings! But where is our ride?" Kagami asked and looked around.
Konata see something from the distance.
"Hey look! I'm not crazy." Konata yelled.
Ladybug and Cat Noir landed to the sidewalk near Konata's group.
"Konata? Is that you?" Cat Noir asked.
"Wait! You know her?" Ladybug asks him.
"Sure, but who are you two? Are you both superheroes?" Konata ask both of them.
"Why Yes! I am Ladybug and welcome to Paris!" She welcomes them.
"Cool!" Konata yelled.
"And I am Cat Noir and I heard that you are popular." Cat Noir smiled.
"Awesome! If you want help from us, the fire thing flew to my left." Konata said.
"Thanks for telling us!" Ladybug thanks her. They both left and flew away.
"See Kagami, I told you that stuffs from Manga and Video games can happen in rare times." Konata said it with a grin.
"I thought Superheroes aren't real. That's odd." Kagami got confused.
Miyuki saw a taxi driver next to the car, waving the board around with their names.
"I see our ride! It's over there." Miyuki pointed the direction and they all went inside the taxi.
Meanwhile, Ladybug and Cat Noir are fighting with the Fire Human. Ladybug use her spell to get an item.
"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug shouted.
She got a water ballon and got a confusing look.
"A water ballon? That won't do much with that size" Ladybug tries to think.
"Well, think quick before he burns the trees near us!" Cat Noir advised her to think.
Ladybug looks around and sees the Fire Human holding a fire extinguisher that blows out flamethrower and it got highlighted in her vision.
"I know what to do." She figures. "Cat Noir, distract him!"
"All right, my lady."
He goes to the ground next to the river to get close to the Fire Human, and starts dancing, making him distracted. Ladybug throws a water ballon to his right hand and it hurt his hand and let go of the fire extinguisher to the ground and Ladybug breaks it. The evil Akuma left the debris as it got broken into pieces.
"No more evil doing for you, you little Akuma!" She yells while opening her yoyo to catch the evil Akuma. "Time to de-evilize!" She shouted and catch the Akuma and recover it from the evil by Hawkmoth. She send it out.
"Bye Bye little butterfly." The butterfly left, being white instead of dark purple.
She throws the water ballon she used earlier and throws it to the air.
"Miraculous Ladybug!" She shouted while the magic recovers the damage caused by Fire Human, and him return to his normal self as a random guy.
At the outside entrance of Le Grand Paris, the hotel, the taxi driver arrive and Konata and her friends got out and got their baggages and backpacks.
"This is it! I been to this one." Miyuki said.
"Wow!" Konata replied.
"It looks beautiful." Tsukasa cheers.
"It will be a good vacation!" Kagami said with excitement.
They all came inside and Miyuki went to the desk to show her friends the way to register their reservation. Chloe is sitting at the chair in the first floor with Sabrina. She looks at the main desk and saw Konata and her friends, but while she doesn't know them, she guesses they are the guests she is looking for.
"Welcome to Luminous City!" Konata shouted.
"Yay, your first reference in a different country, congratulations." Kagami said it sarcastically.
"I can't wait to see how our room looks like!" Tsukasa said.
The staff talks to Miyuki. "Here is your keys to the room at the third floor."
"Thanks!" Miyuki replies with honor.
"Can you carry the baggages for these guests to the third floor?" The staff asked the other employee.
"Sure" He replied and got the case to put their baggages.
Chloe looks at them and starts thinking with Sabrina.
"I think I been looking for these guests. They're from Japan and I wonder if they know how to make sushi." Chloe told her in a suspicious way.
"Why do you want sushi?" Sabrina asked.
"Because I haven't had any good Japanese food for a while."
She starts walking to them.
"Hello?" Kagami said to Chloe.
"Are you guys new to this place?" Chloe asked.
"Well, I been here and they are new here." Miyuki replied.
"We came all the way from Japan and got free tickets." Konata told her.
Sabrina recognize them.
"I know who you..." She got shoved by Chloe.
"I knew it. I been looking for you guys. My name is Chloe Bourgeois and I live here."
"How can she live here?" Kagami said in her mind.
"That's great to hear." Tsukasa replied.
"I want to ask if any of you know how to make sushi?" Chloe asked.
"I bet that girl is trying to use us." Kagami said in her mind.
"We got a lot of stuffs going on." Konata replied.
"We may not know since we never took that effort, at least me." Miyuki replied too.
"OK, whatever." Chloe leaves and grabs Sabrina away.
"I bet that girl has attitude." Kagami said.
"Maybe, but let go to our room." Konata said.
"Yeah." Tsukasa replied.
Chloe talks to Sabrina and got suspicious because she is familiar with them.
"How are you sure you know them?" Chloe asked.
"I watch this show and they were in it. Lucky Star." Sabrina answers.
"You mean the cartoons with expression you watch at part of your time?"
"Yes"
"You watch weird stuff."
At the third floor of the hotel, they went inside their room.
"Wow!" Tsukasa yelled.
They split and look everywhere.
"The lobby seems nice." Kagami said.
"We have nice beds in the other room." Miyuki said.
"We also have a balcony and see the Eiffel Tower from here." Konata said.
They got their baggage and place them in their bedroom.
"Where should we go next? I got a map of Paris." Miyuki asked while holding the map.
"Does it have stores like Gamers or Animate, or a manga store?" Konata asked, confusing Miyuki.
"There may not be much, but I don't think you need to find it for now." Kagami said.
"I wanna visit the Eiffel Tower." Tsukasa said.
Konata finds the remote and turns on the TV and saw Ladybug and Cat Noir in TVi channel, and the news reporter, Mrs Shamack shows up, explains about what happened an hour ago.
"Hey guys! Take a look!" Konata called.
"So they always save the day?" Kagami asked.
"Probably. I like both of them! They're adorable." Tsukasa said.
Meanwhile, Marinette and Alya are walking outside, and they are near the hotel.
"So how was work with your parents?" Alya asked.
"It was great. We had excellent meal at the end of the job. It was a lot of customers."
"So is that why you are busy half the time?
"Well, sometimes but I do at least have plenty of time with you each week."
"I see."
They walk near the entrance of the hotel and saw Konata and her friends came out. Alya got surprised.
"No way! Konata and her friends are here!" Alya said it with a lot of excitement.
"You know them?"
"As a fan of Japanese media, yes!"
Alya walks to them.
"Hello, is by any chance you are Konata Izumi?" She asked.
"You know me?! I always knew someone else will recognize me." Konata said to Alya.
"I think this girl is like you but more active." Kagami complimented.
"Are you coming to Japan Expo? I am attending there!" Alya asked.
"You got it! So who are you?" Konata asked.
"My name is Alya Cesaire, a fan of anime and manga just like you!" She brings Marinette to them. "This is Marinette, my best friend. Her parents works at the bakery and their breads taste so good."
"Yeah, since you guys just came here, according to Alya, you girls want to visit?" Marinette asked.
"I want to try their breads!" Tsukasa said.
"I have a map and you two can show us the way, please." Miyuki asked politely.
"The girl with the pigtails is Kagami, the bunny bow one is Tsukasa, and the pink rose hair one is Miyuki!" Alya told Marinette.
"I'll try to remember their names. Um, sure! We will head to the bakery and join with us."
They start going on their way to the bakery that is also Marinette's home.
"You know when I said I doubt that you will meet someone like her (Alya)? I was wrong." Kagami told Konata.
"You just can't expect like this when you are looking at the ultimate otaku." Konata gives a peace sign to Kagami.
"Yeah... Don't get too excited."
"So how long you four are staying in Paris?" Alya asked.
"A week." Tsukasa said.
"Konata won the tickets for the place she wanted to go to." Miyuki told them.
"Cool! Trust me, Japan expo is cool and I attend there for a few years straight! It's the biggest Anime convention all of Europe, but not as big as Comiket." Alya told Konata.
"Cool! I am excited for Comiket in a few weeks." Konata said.
"Looks like you both are really good friends really fast." Kagami complimented.
"Alya, since you like them, why don't you show them in your Ladyblog?" Marinette suggested.
"Yeah, but I don't want to look like a fan freak on these people." She answered.
Konata heard them and ran and came at front of them.
"I wouldn't mind of you do when I heard you both were discussing."
"Really?!" Alya asked while bring hyper.
"Sure, go on." Konata answered.
"This will go to the misc category." Alya said.
Alya gets her phone out from her pocket and starts recording them.
"Hello guys, if you recognize these peoples they came from Japan to Paris and they plan to visit Japan Expo, which opens in two days!"
"Hey guys, your known and your anime heroine, Konata Izumi!"
"Konata brought us all here with her tickets." Kagami said.
"I never thought this place is even more fantastic than what I expected." Tsukasa said.
"Nice place here. This is my second time visiting here." Miyuki said.
"Really? Nice! So if you are fan of these people. be sure to visit the convention this week!" Alya turns off her phone after giving the last message.
"So can we go to that bakery? I'm starving." Kagami asked.
"Sure." Marinette answers her.
They went inside the bakery and Marinette sees her mom at the cash register and a little while, they are at the front of the line.
Sabine, Marinette's mother, sees Marinette and Alya with four new guests.
"Hey Mom!" Marinette said.
"Hey. I see that you are bringing more people to our bakery." Sabine said.
"They are tourist. and they came from Japan and I know them as celebrities, and we make quick friendship!" Alya told her.
"I see, good job girls for showing newcomers to this place." Sabine that now them.
"So what do you girls want?" She asked the four of them.
"A lot of sweet things on the table" Konata said.
"They all look delicious!" Kagami looks around the place just like her friends do.
After picking their meals, Sabine gets ready to make recipient.
"That will be [Euros they spend] this much." Sabine asked.
"Oh my!" Miyuki freaks out. "I forgot to go to the exchange machine. We were supposed to go there when we left the hotel!"
"Moe!" Konata compliments her and Alya smiles.
"Don't worry, you guys can eat here while one of you go to the closet exchange machine for all of your international cards." Sabine told them. "Marinette's, will you take this girl to the exchange machine?" She asked her.
"Sure Mom." Marinette answered.
"We will go to the table section and we will give you our cards to exchange." Konata said while she and Hiiragi twins hand out their cards to her.
"Thanks!" Miyuki said.
"I'll show you the way. I make mistakes too." Marinette tries to cheer her up.
Later when all six of them are at the table at the bakery, they ask questions to Konata's group.
"It's nice to give a try at our bakery." Marinette said.
"Well, you are right for the breads here. They taste so sweet." Kagami said.
"They sound so soft and rich when you hold them." Tsukasa comments.
"So your Dad mostly bake these?" Konata asked.
"Yep! He is the best Baker in my family." Marinette said.
"Cool! Has he made Chocolate Cornets?" Konata asked.
"What is that?" She asked.
"It's these things that look like croissant but it has chocolates inside it and it looks like a shell." Alya explained.
"She loves them. I want to ask what is Ladybug and Cat Noir?" Kagami asked.
Later in the table area, they all finished their meals, and the explanation of the heroes are done.
"Cool! We just met them when we got out from the airport few hours ago." Konata said.
"Well, you four are lucky to meet her and Cat Noir." Marinette replied.
"Also, people who get angry or sad in a extreme way, they will get evilized by Hawkmoth's akuma." Marinette tells them about Hawkmoth.
"A villian in Paris, interesting. Maybe Kagami will become an evil overlord that terrorize the city and be an evil anime character." Konata said with grin.
"Konata! Why would you think I would do something like this?! You always think weird things like this! Trust me!" Kagami yelled. "Hey, what if you were akumatized?" She questioned Konata.
"I wouldn't mind. I could be an anime wizard and do the opposite of evil." Konata said with excitement.
"How can't you think of the possibilities?" Kagami asked.
"Try not to expect that. Any person he akumatized, will always be evil." Marinette warned them.
"And try to keep your anger or sadness the lowest priority." Alya said.
"You're right. I know someone who has a trouble with her anger status!" Konata said, referring to Kagami.
"Quiet down, Konata!" Kagami yelled.
Konata and Alya laughs. Tsukasa wanted to ask about the hotel.
"So far, I like the hotel we are staying at." Tsukasa said.
"Cool! My mom works there as a chef." Alya pointed that out.
"I bet she is a great cook like her parents at bakery" Miyuki refers Marinette's parents.
"They pretty much good at their jobs." Alya said.
"Have any of you seen Chloe in the hotel?" Marinette asked.
"You mean that girl with the blond with the sun glasses on her head?" Kagami asked.
"Wow, I'm surprised you know her." Marinette said.
"She bump into us when we first came to the hotel, and wanted to ask us if we know how to make sushi." Konata said.
"I bet she is using us, the way she speaks." Kagami said.
"Yeah, don't let her anger you guys. You are right that she can use you guys. Whatever you do, don't let her get her hands on you." Marinette warns them.
"This doesn't sound very good." Tsukasa replies.
After a few minutes to where the lucky star girls finish their meals, they head outside.
"They were tasty!" Tsukasa said.
"Where do you want us to go now?" Miyuki asked.
"We are going to school that's next to the bakery shop." Alya shows them the school building nearby.
"Kinda odd that the school is next to your home." Konata said to Marinette.
"Well, not a lot of people have school right next to their home. You seem to not be a school person." Marinette asked.
"Oh no, I like talking to my friends and see my favorite teacher and all." Konata replied.
"But she usually sleeps and doesn't go accurate to her academics as much." Kagami said.
"Looks like you both are similar." Alya said to Marinette.
"Well, I tried to keep myself focused, and I don't sleep in class." Marinette replied. "(All I can do is save the world by being Ladybug.)"
They are near the stairs at the school.
"I present to you, the school we go to." Alya shows them the front of the school.
"Well, we just started a summer break." Marinette said.
"Cool! Is the school like how most anime have, like sailor fuku uniforms and the sweet drama scenes with beautiful trees blooming?" Konata asked.
"Don't expect that much." Kagami said.
"She's right. Here in France, it's a lot different." Alya explains.
"Here, they wear regular clothes." Miyuki explains.
"And we want you guys to meet one of our friends, Adrien." Alya said.
"Um, really? He's probably still training." Marinette said.
"Does that guy take summer classes?" Tsukasa asked.
"No. The activities like fencing and stuff are usually opened in school, even during summer break." Alya explains again.
"I see." Kagami replies.
They went inside and they saw Adrien coming with his backpack. He sees them.
"Hey ladies! Hanging with new friends?" Adrien asked.
"Umm, sure. They came from Japan." Marinette said.
"I recognized them. They are Konata, Kagami, Tsukasa, and Miyuki." Adrien said.
"So you are one of us too?" Konata asked.
"I read manga during my free time when my dad trapped me in the house outside my photoshoot and before he let me leave the house for school, he would by those for me to not be bored there." Adrien said. "I like Japanese shows and manga. I watch them sometimes."
"So you are famous?" Kagami asked.
"A model who appears in magazines with my father, Gabriel Agreste, a fashion designer." Adrien explains.
"We are taking them around Paris, Adrien." Marinette said.
"Cool. You two are very good at introducing tourists to Paris. That's very nice." Adrien compliments both Alya and mostly Marinette.
Marinette got excited a little.
"So are you gonna join us?" Alya asked.
"I would like to do the same, but my ride is by the entrance already. I gotta do photoshoot." Adrien said.
"They are staying at Le Grand Hotel." Alya told Adrien.
"Cool! I'll see you guys later!"
Adrien left from his ride.
"He seems to be a lucky guy, but I can see that you like him." Konata said, referring to Marinette.
"Ah Ah. He's the famous modeler in Paris." Marinette said nervously.
"Don't worry, we'll keep this as if we never know a thing." Kagami said.
"Good. I don't want anyone else that I looo...oovv." Marinette tries to say love.
"That's enough for now." Alya said.
"Yeah. we will keep our words. Although, someone (Kagami) tries to find a boyfriend but she's so a tsundere." Konata said, referring to Kagami.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT! Enough with that!" Kagami yelled.
Alya laughs at this scene.
"So wanna go to several monuments and stores in Paris?" Alya asked to go around the city now.
"Sure!" Konata replied.
"I would like to go a lot of places in this city." Miyuki said with a little bit of excitement.
Meanwhile, Hawkmoth is at his lair, opening the windows just to talk at the sky as he thinks about his evil plan.
"So far, a lot of my akumatized villains fail me, due to Ladybug and Cat Noir. However, I can sense the powerful person arrived to this city. Once I got the chance to akumatize this mysytery person, I will have the miraculous with me, and finally I can rule the world!"
To be continued to the next chapter.
