Miyako...

NonokaOh, Miyako-chan. Morning~

MiyakoHello.

NonokaThere's Maru-kun! Gotcha!

Maru-kunGyaah!?

NonokaMorning to you too, Maru-kun~

Maru-kunL-Let go of meeee!

NonokaOkaaay.

Maru-kun*Sigh*... Honestly, you're such a handful.

MiyakoNonoka-san, please don't be so rough with Maru-kun.

NonokaI wasn't being rough! I just gave him a nice, gentle hug!

Maru-kunThat's exactly what I'm calling rough!

NonokaCome on, when you see something cute, don't you just want to squeeze it?

MiyakoI see. That explains it.

NonokaExactly~

NonokaHey, Miyako-chan. Are Maru-kun and Baru-kun friends?

MiyakoYou mean Baru-kun, the character from Magilulu?

NonokaYeah! I just thought they kind of look alike~

MiyakoMaru-kun was inspired by him, but he's a completely separate character.

NonokaOh, I see~ They're both so cute!

MiyakoNaturally.

NonokaDo you like cute things, Miyako-chan?

MiyakoYeah, I'd say so. I especially like things that are small and cute.

MiyakoSome are soft and pillowy, others plump and squishy... Even "cute" comes in different textures.

MiyakoThere are all kinds of expressions too: big, round eyes, sharp little eyes, even adorably blank, dopey faces...!

NonokaWhoa, Miyako-chan, there's no stopping you.

MiyakoJust looking into their little eyes makes me happy...! Ah, my heart warms just thinking about them...!

MiyakoI want all the adorable things I've welcomed into my home to be just as happy as they make me...!

NonokaSo your house is full of cute things?

MiyakoOf course! You can never have too many adorable things...!

NonokaOhh~

NonokaThen what about Nono-chan?

MiyakoHm?

NonokaIsn't Nono-chan cute too?

NonokaWould having me at home make your heart all warm and fuzzy?

MiyakoHuh...?

Nonoka...!

MiyakoYou have a certain... intensity, so it's not quite the same.

NonokaWhaaaat!? Whyyyy!?

MiyakoJust because.
