Miyako...

RitsuI didn't expect it to be this thick. Sorry if it's hard to read.

MiyakoNo... It was excellent material. Maybe I could create an autobiographical manga about you, Minetsuki-san.

RitsuTh-Thank you so much...?

MiyakoI understand what you want to say, Minetsuki-san.

MiyakoAnd the fact that the Viola-san I see, and the Viola-san that you and Arale-san see, are different as well.

MiyakoBut...

MiyakoViola-san really understood me. Thanks to Viola-san, I was able to believe in myself.

Ritsu...

MiyakoSo, without Viola-san, I...

RitsuI see... So Miyako-san and I are like a wiener and a sausage.

MiyakoHuh...?

RitsuWe're different, but similar. Like ohagi and botamochi...

MiyakoOhagi and botamochi... Aren't they the same...

RitsuI always thought I was serious, quiet, and boring... And I didn't really have a sense of self.

MiyakoHuh... What was the talk about ohagi and botamochi...

RitsuAnd Viola paved the way for me. Me, as Clematis, the model student.

RitsuOnce I started trusting Viola and following her words, the right answers were always right there in front of me...

RitsuThat was easy.

RitsuBut at the beginning, I thought it was a path I had chosen by myself. I thought it was the only path for me.

RitsuBut even that thought was exactly what Viola had intended.

MiyakoEven if that's true... Isn't it fine as long as that's what everyone around you wants?

MiyakoI've always lived that way. To survive in the world I chose for myself.

RitsuI became empty inside.

MiyakoHuh...

RitsuI ate too many of the right answers given by Viola, and forgot what I liked, what I wanted to do...

RitsuI didn't even know what was important to me anymore...

RitsuAnd into that emptiness, Viola packed even sweeter, more delightful words.

ViolaI've been wanting to meet you...

ViolaI fell in love with it at first sight.

ViolaIf this encounter is fate... I hope it lasts.

ViolaBecause you're sparkling and beautiful.

RitsuMy grandmother used to say, "Eating too many sweets is bad for you."

Miyako...

RitsuThe scary thing about Viola is that she never gets her own hands dirty.

RitsuShe tames people with sweet words, and shifts the guilt onto them...

MiyakoI understand what you're saying and what you mean. But...

Ritsu...

RitsuLet's talk!

MiyakoHuh...

RitsuI think we should talk about more things, Miyako-san. Like what kind of meat you like, or how you like it cooked...

RitsuI'm just repeating what Arale-chan said, though.

RitsuI think Nono-chan feels the same way too. She wants to know you, Miyako-san...

Miyako...

RitsuSo please, don't meet Viola—

MiyakoSorry! Sorry, I...

MiyakoPlease take this booklet back...

RitsuMiyako-san!

Ritsu...

Miyako(I don't know...)

Miyako...

Viola

ViolaWe're destined for each other.

Miyako...

Miyako(I don't want to know...)

Miyako(Viola-san...)

Yuno...

Yuno(Bye-bye...)

RitsuNono-chan~

Nonoka! Ricchan!

AraleWhoa, whoa, whoa...! Yuno-san-chan's depressive posts are escalating!

NonokaOh my.

AraleShe's really going to say bye-bye for this time...!

Arale、Ritsu、Nonoka?

AraleFish...?

RitsuAquarium...

Arale!? "Drowning"!?!?!?

AraleIt's underwater!? The smartphone is water-resistant!?

RitsuIf only we could identify which aquarium it is...

NonokaThe tuna...

NonokaHa...!

NonokaUsa Eater-chan's Tuna-chan Quuuuuuiz!

NonokaWhich aquarium in the Kanto region can you meet Tuna-chan?

ChildrenOnly here~!!

NonokaTuna-chaaaaaaaaan!!!

Arale、RitsuHuh!?

NonokaYuno-chan is now—

NonokaWith Tuna-chan!

AraleWhat~!!

RitsuThat makes sense.

NonokaAlright! Wait a minute~ Tuna-chan, Yuno-cha...

Nonoka...

Arale、Ritsu?

NonokaIs it wrong to force someone to stay when they want to quit?

AraleHuh?

NonokaA flower field is not a place that everyone can live comfortably.

AraleAh...

Ritsu...

AraleUm...... Nono-chan-san.

NonokaHm?

AraleBig hug~~~~~~~!!

RitsuArale-chan!

Nonoka?

AraleGrrr... Did my feelings reach you!?

Nonoka...?

AraleI was really, really happy about that kiss from Nono-chan-san that time!

NonokaBecause your "love" has power!

AralePower...

Nonoka...

AraleSo let's go for it, even if we might crash!

AraleWait, we can't actually crash! Let's go with a steady, firm pull instead!

AraleIf that doesn't work... let's all think it over together.

NonokaThank you...

Arale!?!? You squeezed my hand too tight! Ouch~~~~!

NonokaYour feelings reached me!

Arale...!

NonokaNono-chan is going!

AraleTake care~!

AraleHey, wait~~!
