After School

Ritsu(Maybe I'll practice guitar when I get home. Oh, right, I have homework too. I could get an early start on that...)

???*Huff*... Haaah... *Huff*... Haaah...!!

???N-Not yet... I still have somewhere I have to be...!!

RitsuThat voice... Could it be...?

AraleDon't give up, Arale Nakamachi...!! Run! You have to keep running...!!

RitsuI knew that was you, Arale-chan!

AraleRicchan...!?

RitsuThat's a lot of bags... Have you been running this whole time with all of that?

AraleY-Yeah...!! Even if my arms rip right off, I'm getting all of it home...!!

AraleBecause today... I can get the Magilulu Complete Album a day early!!

RitsuOh...!

RitsuThen those bags are full of...!

AraleThat's right... CDs, along with the bonuses from each store.

AraleI still haven't finished making the rounds. A lot of the bonuses are first-come, first-served, so at this rate...

RitsuYou'll find a sign saying, "Bonus Items No Longer Available"...!

AraleNgh... If only I weren't a student, I'd have more time...!

RitsuArale-chan...

AraleBut this is no time to despair... I have no choice but to keep running.

RitsuYou can't keep going in that condition...! Look at your arms. Those bags have already left marks.

AraleThis is nothing.

RitsuBut...!

AraleFor Magilulu, no injury is too much to bear...! I have one goal: to collect every last bonus!

RitsuYeah... That's just who you are, Arale-chan.

AraleRicchan... I have to go. I'm sor—

RitsuCan I still pick up the bonuses without a preorder?

AraleWhat...?

RitsuWhich stores do you still need to visit? I'll carry half the bags, too.

AraleYou mean...!?

RitsuYeah. I'll help.

AraleRicchaaaaaan!!

RitsuHonestly... You could've just asked.

AraleNgh... B-But I thought I had to do this all by myself...!

RitsuCome on, there's no time to cry. Which stores were you planning to visit next?

Arale*Sniff*... You're right...! Um, this one and this one, and this one over here too...

AraleThen I'll head that way.

RitsuI'll go this way. Arale-chan... let's meet back here.

AraleYeah...! And when we meet again...

Arale、RitsuWe'll have every last bonus in hand!!
