Manager
Nakamachi-san, you're about ready to post a cover song video, right?
Arale
Peeeeeeeeeeeeep!!
Manager
Quit squeaking!
Arale
Nnnnnngh, but, but, buttttt...!
Manager
You don't like singing?
Arale
No... That's not it.
Manager
You don't like being in the group?
Manager
You don't like showing your face?
Manager
Wanna hear something good?
Manager
If it's a video... guess what?
You don't have to show your face!
Arale
Wait, you're right!!
Nonoka
Are we finally gonna hear Arale-chan sing~?
Arale
So... I'm really gonna sing?
Yuno
Well, you are the vocalist.
Nonoka
I can't wait to hear you sing, Arale-chan!
Arale
B-But I haven't sung much lately,
and I'm a liiittle out of practice, so, hehe...
I can't promise I'll be as good as you're hoping...
Arale
You really wanna hear me sing...?
Arale
A-And you too, Miyako-san...?
Miyako
Huh? Oh, yes. I... am looking forward to it.
Arale
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
Arale
Th-Then... maybe just this once?
I mean, giving it a try might be kinda sorta totally doable~? Ehehe...
Yuno
That was way too easy...
Nonoka
Okaaay! I have a brilliant idea!
Manager
What is it?
Nonoka
Nono-chan will play guitar
for Arale-chan's cover video~!
Arale
R-Really?! You'd do that?!
Manager
That might actually work... What song?
Nonoka
A Yuno-chan song!
Nono-chan's an OG fan! Since the band days!
Nonoka
I love every single one, so I wanna play them all! Can I?
Yuno
I mean, I do like the songs, but...
Yuno
Humans, though... I don't really get them...
Nonoka
I knew it... An AI...!
Miyako
I'm gonna lose my job?!?!
Arale
M-Miyako-saaaaaan!!
Yuno
For the record, I'm not an AI...
Manager
Everyone's certainly lively!
For now, just pick a song, okay?

Arale

Which means...
Arale
IN-VIN-CI-BLE~~~~~!!

Ritsu
(I don't want it to be over.)
Arale
Wait up! I'm coming~!
Arale
Sorry! A teacher held me up.
???
No fair, Ritsu~ Going behind my back like this.
Viola
Huh? You're not happy to see me, Ritsu?
That hurts my feelings~
Viola
No, no~
You've got Fairy Bouquet, remember, Ritsu?
Viola
You're done with Arale-chan!
Ritsu
It's not over...!
Viola
Scaaary~
Viola
Here I am, begging you not to leave me...
and you're still running off to Arale-chan, Ritsu...
Viola
Then I guess I have no choice.
Viola
They say humans are the only animals that use fire.
Viola
Civilization advanced because humans weren't afraid of fire.

Viola
Maybe that's why
the internet finds someone new to burn every single day.
Viola
Funny, isn't it~?
All it takes is one little spark. Then you just sit back and watch.
Viola
Pop quiz~!
What happens when the spark burns out?
Viola
Threeee, twooo...
Viola
Oooone...
Viola
Time's up~!
Viola
The answer is... Everything around it burns~
Viola
Friends, family~ What was it again?
That new group she formed... Oh, right!
Viola
MewType, or whatever it was called~
Viola
Arale-chan behaved herself back then,
so I thought that would be enough~
Viola
What was it you said? "It's not over"...?
Kyaha! Maybe you're right! Arale-chan isn't finished yet♪
Ritsu
Please... stop...
Viola
Hmm~ What should I do~?
Ritsu
I'll never... have anything to do
with Arale-chan again...!
Viola
Good girl...♡
Viola
You really are a "model student," Ritsu.

Yuno
And now this is happening.
Nonoka
All right, Arale-chan! Take it away!
Arale
The song for our momentous first collab will be...
Arale
The very first "Magilulu" opening theme, "Magilulu Nice Bulk"!
Arale
Or the Season 2 ending theme, "Tears of the Shanikamars"!
Arale
Or the movie's theme song, "Good-Bye, Biceps"!
Those are my top three, and I just can't choose...
Yuno
So you haven't actually decided.
Nonoka
Hmm~
You love all three, right, Arale-chan?
Arale
Y-Yes! Especially "Good-Bye, Biceps"!
The exact moment it kicks in during the movie is...
Nonoka
Then let's go with that one♪
Nonoka
It's settled~! And for the thumbnail art...
*Glance*...
Arale
No, no, no, no!
I could never ask Yako-sensei!
That'd be presumptuous beyond all presumptuousness~~~~!!
Miyako
If I can make the time...
Arale
No, no! You have your manga to work on!
Once I've saved up, I'll go through the agency and commission you properly!
Someday! I promise!! For sure!!!
Yuno
That's... a lot.
Manager
Oh, perfect. Everyone's here!
All right, let's get straight to practice!
Everyone
Okaaay!

Arale
(Right now, I really... want to sing!)

Manager
Wow!
You're really starting to come together as a band!
Yuno
Been practicing a lot?
Nonoka
Miyako-chan's dark-circle bear today is~
a polar bear! Slightly healthier!
Yuno
Well, keep at it. Just don't work yourself till you drop.
Nonoka
And guess what else? Nono-chan noticed something!
Nonoka
Arale-chan, weren't you humming "Hmm-hmm-hmmm~♪" earlier?
Miyako
Oh, that was you, Arale-san?
Arale
No, no, no! No way that was me!
Yuno
You were singing. Just humming, but still.
Nonoka
Think you can
practice with us next time, Arale-chan?
Arale
That might be... a hard yes?
Manager
Ngh... Nakamachi-san...
Maru-kun
Can't wait!
Arale
Okay!
Wait, Maru-kun just talked?!
Maru-kun
Yeah. Nice to meet ya...
Maru-kun
Huh?!
Maru-kun
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Arale
Ehehehehehehe!
Miyako-san, Maru-kun is talking with us!
Maru-kun
I need my personal space~!
Let go! Let go~!
Maru-kun
I'm alive over here~!
Arale
That's amazing! How does this even work~?!
Maru-kun
Let go!
Nonoka
Nono-chan wants a turn holding you too!
Maru-kun
Gaaah! Stoooooop!!

Even when the fennec was suffering all alone...
the bear couldn't do anything.
Ritsu
She was a coward. She chose the coward's way out.
And the fennec lost everything...

I should probably give Nakamachi-san a heads-up, just in case...

"Arale-chan's ripped!" "She's in peak form!"...

How many trains will Ritsu watch go by~?

"A model student would never do that."♡

Viola
Ritsuu~?
Viola
Geez, you're totally spacing out~
Viola
Look, Arale-chan posted a video.
Viola
The account's called
"Arale Nakamachi from MewType."
Bell
Is Arale Nakamachi her real name?
Viola
Yeah.
Putting your real name online is dangerous. You never know what might happen~
Popo
There are some real creeps out there.
Bell
What?! That's so scary!
Viola
Ritsu, let's listen to it. Okay?
—♪
Popo
What's this? Magilulu?
Bell
This takes me back~
Popo
What's with this song choice?
Viola
Arale-chan sounds like she's having so much fun~
I wonder if things are going well with her new group.
Viola
One of her new bandmates plays guitar, too.
Bell
Wait, Nonoka is...
Popo
Usa Eater-chan.
Bell
She's the one who went viral with over a hundred million views! That's wiiild~!
Viola
You were always Arale-chan's guitarist, Ritsu...
Viola
But I guess she doesn't need you anymore, huh?
Ritsu
I... have something I need to do at home,
so I'll be leaving now.
Bell
Bye-bye~!
Popo
See ya~
Viola
Ritsu's been so entertaining lately~
Kyaha!

Ahem~ Magical Physical Kururu...
or Magilulu for short. This will be on the test~
Student A
Hahahaha! Arale-chan,
you sound just like the teacher!
Student B
That's hilarious!
Ritsu
(I met Arale-chan back in elementary school...)
Arale
Look! I wrote down our conversations, and they turned into lyrics!
Major discovery! I'm a genius!
Ritsu
You're right...
Arale-chan, that's amazing!
Ritsu
(Arale-chan was always so bright,
and being with her was so much fun...)
Arale
And then everyone's biceps in Yumeoi Town
lit up all at once!
Ritsu
Hahaha! That's so weird~ Hehe.
Arale
Right?! Oh, I know!
Ricchan, let's sing together!
Arale
Come on, sing with me!
Ritsu
Yeah! What should we sing?
Arale
Umm... "Good-Bye, Biceps"!
Ritsu
(Arale-chan had always shone so brightly...
She was my light.)
Arale
Huh...?
Ricchan, you're going to a private middle school?
