AraleMorning~!

Bota!

RakiM-Morning~

BotaMorning~

Bota、Raki...

RakiA, Arale-chan—

AraleTa-da! Look at this! Bonus item set completed!

Bota、Raki...

AraleHuh?

BotaArale-chan, you don't have to force yourself to be cheerful.

RakiYeah. I mean... that's a bit... y'know.

Bota...

Arale! Don't tell me you found out I lost the lottery for that autographed poster giveaway by Yako-sensei to commemorate the release of the Chupasachu tankōbon...!?

Bota、RakiSorry, we don't know that.

Arale? Then what's—

MiyakoU-Um, excuse me...

AraleYako-sensei!

MiyakoDo you have a little time after school?

Arale~~~~~! M-Me too! There are so m-m-m-m-many things I want to talk with you! Yako-sensei!

AraleAs expected of Miyako-san! This place you know has so much atmosphere!

AraleWhat should I order... Hmm, parfait, with parfait, and parfait...

MiyakoUm, the reason I asked for your time is that there are many things I want to ask you about.

AraleOh! You're asking for my thoughts on Chupasachu, right? I made sure not to miss anything, so I stuck a bunch of notes in the tankōbon! Please look at this!

MiyakoNo, not that...

MiyakoWhy do you think we... MewType, gets so fiercely flamed like this?

AraleHuh?

MiyakoWe gave it our all during the live show, so I just don't understand why we're being criticized...

MiyakoIt's wonderful that a new member joined us for the live show, isn't it? So why on earth did things turn out this way...?

MiyakoArale-san, do you know something about this? My daily posts keep getting replies and quotes I don't understand, and I have no idea what's going on...

AraleUmm...

MiyakoWhat's Fairy Bouquet? Who's Clematis? And who on earth is Viola...?

AraleUm... Is MewType getting flamed online?

MiyakoHuh...?

MiyakoSorry... I wasn't aware that you didn't know, Arale-san...

AraleNo, I'm the one who should apologize! I've been on a natural digital detox due to the live show and the Chupasachu high!

AraleBut look! There are so many positive comments too!

MiyakoBut...

AraleSorry, we really confused you! Clematis is Ricchan. We used to be in a group together before.

AraleAnd Viola is...

Arale...!

Miyako?

MiyakoAh...!

AraleLet's go out.

MiyakoHuh?

AraleSorry, we'll come back another time.

StaffY-Yes... We look forward to seeing you again~

Viola...

MiyakoP-Please wait a moment! Arale-san!?

ViolaArale-chan!

Miyako、Arale!

ViolaYou just suddenly ran out there. You really startled me.

Arale...

MiyakoWait, you two know each other...?

ViolaArale-chan, you left your manga at the place.

AraleG-Give it back!

ViolaEek!

ViolaSo, Arale-chan... You're a fan of Yako-sensei too. Just like me.

Arale...! D-Don't mess with me! I won't lose again!

ViolaHuh...

AraleI know what you're doing! You deceive and disparage people! You made Ricchan suffer, just like you did to me...!

MiyakoA, Arale-san...?

AraleI see it all now! And I will never lose again!!

ViolaI don't really get all this talk about losing or deceiving...

AraleDon't play dumb!

Viola...!

Miyako...!

ViolaBut... About Clematis, I was truly shocked, you know...

AraleWhat...!

ViolaBut my feelings for Clematis and Arale-chan haven't changed. So, I intend to support MewType too—

AraleThat's how you do it! You lie to toy with people's hearts and hurt them! But I'm different from back then...!

AraleNow I have the MewType members and the adults who help me by my side!

AraleYou don't scare me anymore!!

MiyakoWha... Please give me a moment! Arale-san, you misunderstood it!

AraleWhat...

ViolaSensei...

MiyakoThanks to her, I was able to think about doing a live show. She said, "There are things you only understand by trying," and I wanted to move forward.

Arale...!

MiyakoSo...!

AraleI see... So you had us do the live show just to make us get flamed... And you used Miyako-san for that.

MiyakoHuh...

AraleUnforgivable!

MiyakoThat's enough!!

MiyakoWe're the ones who decided to do the live show, aren't we! Blaming her for that is just wrong!

AraleMi, Miyako-san...!

Viola...

AraleN-No...! Don't do it! Don't let Viola deceive you!

MiyakoI'm not being deceived!

MiyakoShe truly understands me, she's the best fan ever!

AraleHuh?

MiyakoShe truly understood what I had poured into my work...

MiyakoShe's the first person who's ever said she loves my work this much!!

Arale...

MiyakoHuh...?

ViolaIt's okay, Yako-sensei. Just knowing you believe in me... is enough...

Viola...

MiyakoAh...!

Arale、Miyako...

Viola...

ViolaIt recorded well...♪

ViolaKyahahahahahaha!!

Viola*Pant*... *Pant*... *Pant*...

ViolaIt feels so good♡

Arale(Why did Miyako-san say that...?)

Arale(She didn't know who Viola was, but they seemed to be acquaintances...)

TeacherEveryone, morning~

StudentsGood morning.

TeacherToday, I'll introduce you all to our transfer student. Come in.

???Yes.

Arale...

TeacherAlright then, Minetsuki-san, please introduce yourself.

Arale? Minetsuki...

RitsuI've transferred here from Akiha Girls' Academy High School Division. My name is Ritsu Minetsuki. Nice to meet you!

AraleRi... Ririririririririri—

AraleRicchan!!!????

RitsuAh... Hehe.

AraleLooking from here... and even from this angle... It's really Ricchan after all...!

AraleBut, why did you come here...? B-Because you got flamed...!?

RitsuNah. Things had already gotten complicated before that...

RitsuThis was... my own choice.

Arale...?

RakiHey, hey.

BotaArale-chan~

RakiOf course you'll introduce us to your lovely friend here, right?

BotaWell, we have met once, though.

RitsuMy apologies for the delayed greeting.

RitsuOnce again, I am Ritsu Minetsuki, and I will be studying alongside you in Class 1-B at Kanda Shiroyama Academy.

RitsuHere, a token of our acquaintance...

Raki、BotaHuh!?

RakiBaru-kun meat bun...!

BotaFreshly steamed!

RitsuHere, you too, Arale-chan.

AraleR-Really!?

RitsuOf course. Well then...

EveryoneCheeeers!

RitsuAh— *Munch*...

BotaThis girl's surprisingly energetic.

RakiWasn't Clematis supposed to be the prince-type character?

RitsuThat was just a character for the videos.

RakiSo that is a character.

BotaAhaha, you're honest~

RakiOh! MewType's live show was good!

BotaYour guitar was cool~

RitsuThank you.

AraleYeah! Right! That was amazing!

MiyakoImpossible...

Miyako(I don't feel like I can fit into that friendly, cozy atmosphere... I'll try again later...)

Miyako!!???

NonokaWow.

Nonoka! Miyako-chan! Medical care!

MiyakoW-What's this, all of a sudden!?

NonokaA big hug for hard-working Miyako-chan!

Miyako!!!!!!!

NonokaWhoa, this is...

NonokaI see, so you're after the rumored transfer student too, Miyako-chan!?

MiyakoHuh?

NonokaFinally meeting the real Ricchan in person!

MiyakoNo, hey, wait...!

NonokaWelcome to Kamiuma Academy!

RitsuKamiuma?

NonokaKanda Shiroyama Academy... That's short for it!

RitsuI see. Nice to meet you, Miyanaga-senpai.

NonokaNon-non, Nono-chan! Okay?

RitsuOkay.

Arale...

RitsuNonoka-san.

NonokaOh~! No! No-no! No~No~chan!

RitsuNono-chan.

NonokaMmm~ Perfect! Right? Arale-kun!

NonokaArale-kun...?

AraleUm, Miyako-san... About yesterday...

MiyakoAh!

Arale!?

MiyakoOh no! I completely forgot that I have an urgent manuscript due! This is bad!

AraleMi...

MiyakoAh, this is bad. The urgent manuscript~

MiyakoI'll take my leave! Whoosh!

NonokaOh dear.

AraleAww...

Ritsu...

After School

RitsuI see... It was Viola...

AraleYeah. Even Miyako-san's idea to do the live show might've been Viola's doing too.

AraleWe have to help Miyako-san.

AraleBut-but, she won't listen to me. I dunno why. What do I dooooo!?

RitsuTrying to persuade her head-on might be risky...

Arale?

RitsuBecause that person's words are like honeyed poison...

RitsuWith words as sweet as sugar, she wraps you up so gently that before you know it, you can't move, and you can't even consider any other choices.

RitsuIf we push too hard to persuade her, things could end up even worse...

AraleOh... I see...

Ritsu...

Ritsu"No, Magi Armstrong!"

Arale!

Ritsu"You just finished putting your muscles through a workout, didn't you!"

AraleThat line...! From Magilulu episode 8...!?

RitsuYeah.

Arale"Don't stop me, Magi Ham Spring!"

Arale"While we're standing around, the Shanikamars are threatening the peace of the city...!"

Ritsu"Calm down! Your body is in Super Recovery right now!"

Arale"Super... Recovery...?"

Ritsu"Injured muscles become stronger through rest."

Ritsu"Pushing yourself even further will just backfire. So!"

Arale、RitsuNo rush, stay!!

RitsuRight?

AraleYeah...! That's right...!

AraleMiyako-san is in Super Recovery too. We just have to wait!

AraleThanks, Ricchan!

RitsuYou're welcome.

RitsuArale-chan, you really are good at imitating Magilulu.

AraleHuh? Hehe, really? But Ricchan, you're just as sharp as ever!

AraleNice bulk!

RitsuYeah...

RitsuNice bulk...!
