Raika

Yomogiiii! Help meee!

Yomogi

Aaaah! Please don't hug me!! My heart's pounding out of my chest!!

Raika

Oh, sorry! Okay, okay, I'm letting go!

Yomogi

*Pant*... *Pant*... Jeez, what was that all of a sudden...?

Raika

Yomogi, come shopping with me!

Yomogi

Huh...? You mean... leave the house...?

Raika

That's right! Yamada-san's grandson has a birthday coming up.

Raika

Yamada-san wants to make his grandson happy, but he doesn't know what to get him.

Yomogi

Um... Neither Yamada-san nor his grandson knows me, so why am I...?

Raika

The Yamadas live three houses down! And their grandson likes manga~!

Yomogi

What kind of manga...?

Raika

Hmm, all sorts! Magic stuff, pirate stuff...

Yomogi

Raika-san... You don't remember any of the titles, do you...?

Raika

Haha, I thought you might know~ Yomogi!

Yomogi

I-I can't exactly help just because you expect me to...! It's not like I know everything about manga...

Raika

Oh, really?

Yomogi

I-I love "Onishigu," not manga in general...!

Yomogi

So this is way too much for someone like me...

Raika

Please, Yomogi! Just think of it like it's Onishigu and help me!

Yomogi

Isn't that disrespectful to both "Onishigu" and every other manga out there!?

Raika

Huh? Oh, I guess it is~

Yomogi

Besides, you were the one who got asked, Raika-san...!

Yomogi

Is it really okay to agree to something when you know you'll be relying on me from the start...?

Raika

Sorry! But I knew I could count on you, Yomogi.

Yomogi

Huh...?

Raika

It might be hard on my own, but I've got you, Yomogi.

Raika

With our unbeatable team, let's find the perfect present that'll really wow Yamada-san!

Yomogi

!!

Yomogi

That was almost exactly like the scene in Volume 7 of "Saga of the Steel-spirit Bancho: Onishigure," where Godo-kun first learns to trust his friends!!

Yomogi

"I might not be able to do this on my own... But I've got him." On the very next page after Godo-kun says that, his friend appears! It's such an unbelievably hype scene!

Raika

Ooh! Yomogi's all fired up!

Yomogi

I never thought a weakling like me would get the chance to recreate that scene... The god of "Onishigu" must be smiling on me!

Yomogi

Raika-san! I feel like I can do anything right now!!

Raika

Thank yooou~! I'll be counting on you this weekend!

Yomogi

Yes!!

Yomogi

Uuugh... Why did I go and say that...?!

Raika

Yomogi, come on! Time to gooo!

Raika

Come on, get up! We can't get started without you, Yomogi.

Yomogi

If Raika-san hadn't said something that sounded just like Godo-kun, this wouldn't have happened... Uuugh...

Yomogi

Waaah!! I always end up like thiiis!!
