Miyako

...

Ritsu

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

Miyako

No... It was excellent material. Maybe I could create an autobiographical manga about you, Minetsuki-san.

Ritsu

Th-Thank you so much...?

Miyako

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

Miyako

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

Miyako

But...

Miyako

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

Ritsu

...

Miyako

So, without Viola-san, I...

Ritsu

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

Miyako

Huh...?

Ritsu

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

Miyako

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

Ritsu

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

Miyako

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

Ritsu

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

Ritsu

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

Ritsu

That was easy.

Ritsu

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

Ritsu

But even that thought was exactly what Viola had intended.

Miyako

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

Miyako

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

Ritsu

I became empty inside.

Miyako

Huh...

Ritsu

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

Ritsu

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

Ritsu

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

I've been wanting to meet you...

I fell in love with it at first sight.

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

Because you're sparkling and beautiful.

Ritsu

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

Miyako

...

Ritsu

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

Ritsu

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

Miyako

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

Ritsu

...

Ritsu

Let's talk!

Miyako

Huh...

Ritsu

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

Ritsu

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

Ritsu

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

Miyako

...

Ritsu

So please, don't meet Viola—

Miyako

Sorry! Sorry, I...

Miyako

Please take this booklet back...

Ritsu

Miyako-san!

Ritsu

...

Miyako

(I don't know...)

Miyako

...

Miyako

...

Miyako

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

Miyako

(Viola-san...)

Yuno

...

Yuno

(Bye-bye...)

Ritsu

Nono-chan~

Nonoka

! Ricchan!

Arale

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

Nonoka

Oh my.

Arale

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

Arale・Ritsu・Nonoka

?

Arale

Fish...?

Ritsu

Aquarium...

Arale

!? "Drowning"!?!?!?

Arale

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

Ritsu

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

Nonoka

The tuna...

Nonoka

Ha...!

Nonoka

Usa Eater-chan's Tuna-chan Quuuuuuiz!

Nonoka

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

Only here~!!

Nonoka

Tuna-chaaaaaaaaan!!!

Arale・Ritsu

Huh!?

Nonoka

Yuno-chan is now—

Nonoka

With Tuna-chan!

Arale

What~!!

Ritsu

That makes sense.

Nonoka

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

Nonoka

...

Arale・Ritsu

?

Nonoka

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

Arale

Huh?

Nonoka

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

Arale

Ah...

Ritsu

...

Arale

Um...... Nono-chan-san.

Nonoka

Hm?

Arale

Big hug~~~~~~~!!

Ritsu

Arale-chan!

Nonoka

?

Arale

Grrr... Did my feelings reach you!?

Nonoka

...?

Arale

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

Nonoka

Because your "love" has power!

Arale

Power...

Nonoka

...

Arale

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

Arale

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

Arale

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

Nonoka

Thank you...

Arale

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

Nonoka

Your feelings reached me!

Arale

...!

Nonoka

Nono-chan is going!

Arale

Take care~!

Arale

Hey, wait~~!

Arale

Where is Yuno-san-chan!? Where on earth is she~~~~???

Nonoka

Traaaaaaaain!

Nonoka

I'm in!

(Nonoka)

That was back when I was still in kindergarten...

Waaah... Nooo!

Why are you crying? Let's go together.

Sensei said we should not do things that other people dislike~

Nonoka

Bunnies are so yummy, way up on the hill~ The river where you fish for small carp~

Ah! Usa Eater-chan!

Nonoka

Let's sing together~!

Huh...

Nonoka

Dreams are still going around now~

Unforgettable~

Hometown~

Hehe... Kyahaha!

Nonoka

I love everyone's smiling faces. What makes me happiest is when everyone is happy.

Nonoka

Unforgettable~ Hometown~

Nonoka

...

Wow! Thanks~!

Nonoka

Not at all~

I'm so happy~ Mama really loves Usa Eater-chan.

Can I have one too?

Nonoka

Sure~

Nonoka

(But lately, somehow...)

Nonoka

(Somehow~ I have a bit of a strange feeling.)

This is a gift from me! Thanks so much!

Bye-bye~

Nonoka

Bye~

Ah! This time was the best too...!

Nonoka

Hm?

Oh! Usa Eater-chan wanna listen to it, too? It's yuno's new song.

Nonoka

Yu... no?

Nonoka

Hmm? I remember Nana-chan said she liked it?

You don't really know about it, do you!?

You really need to listen to it right now!

It's a band that a girl named yuno is in!

They're the same age as us, yet they write all their own songs! Here, put on the earphones!

Nonoka

Same age?

——♪

Nonoka

...!

Nonoka

Yaaay~!

Nonoka

"Good song"... That's so cool~!

Nonoka

"I kind of love it." Nono-chan loves it too!

Nonoka

"Nono-chan has been full of energy lately"... Yeah!

Nonoka

Yuno-chan, who's the same age as us! I wonder what kind of person she is?

Here are the changes from the previous contract.

Nonoka

Band?

Yeah. We're still in contact with some of them, but the members probably would be like this.

Nonoka

! Yuno-chan!?

Miyanaga-san often plays during livestreams.

She had been a freelancer for a long time, but lately she signed up with us.

Nonoka

Yuno-chan is a member!?

Yeah. And Fuji-san too.

Nonoka

Manga artist...

And Nakamachi-san, who we're planning to sign with soon. We'd like the four of you to form a band.

Nonoka

This girl who sang the cover songs is Arale-chan...

Nonoka

Band...

Nonoka

Band!

Nonoka

Seventeen years in this world since I was born, and there's still so much I don't know.

Nonoka

Being with everyone... it's fun!

Nonoka

I'm so happy.

Nonoka

And I love them.

Nonoka

My heart is...

Nonoka

Almost bursting!

Nonoka

Is it really okay for me to be this happy?

Nonoka

Of course!

Nonoka

With Yuno-chan, Miyako-chan, Arale-chan, and Ricchan!

Nonoka

It was like a dream that I could play in a band with them...

Miyako

I! I really hate you!!

Nonoka

Huh?

Yuno

I'm quitting the band.

Nonoka

Haa... Haa... Haa...

Sensei said we should not do things that other people dislike~

Nonoka

...

Nonoka

Nononononononononono!!!
