Ritsu

Oh... I absolutely have to go try this.

Miyako

Hello. What were you looking at?

Ritsu

Miyako-san. Look... It's a post from the ramen shop I go to all the time.

Ritsu

They're offering one free topping this weekend.

Miyako

You really do love your food... Oh, where's Arale-san?

Ritsu

She'll be here soon. She went to get a drink.

Ritsu

...

Miyako

? Is there something about my bag...?

Ritsu

Are you having another Magilulu collab bun for lunch today? Eating nothing but bread isn't very balanced...

Miyako

Oh... No. The collab is over, and I've finished everything I stocked up on.

Miyako

But now... this has arrived!

Ritsu

Oh... Magilulu wafers.

Miyako

Exactly! Each one comes with a clear card featuring a memorable scene from the anime! There are 20 designs, plus a secret card!

Miyako

They're random, so I bought a whole box, but apparently that still doesn't guarantee a complete set...

Miyako

And so begins a new battle, the endless consumption of wafers...!

Ritsu

That sounds... difficult. Your mouth is going to get completely dry.

Miyako

Even so, for Magilulu... For the secret card, I'll gladly eat every last one...!

Ritsu

Arale-chan and I talked about the same thing this morning. She said the new wafers had her in trouble too.

Miyako

I knew it...!

Ritsu

On her way to school, she stopped at several stores and bought two or three at each one.

Miyako

I understand completely. She was leaving some for the fellow fans who came after her...!

Ritsu

She also said buying a few from different stores somehow feels like "it gives you fewer duplicates."

Miyako

There is no guaranteed strategy for random pulls... But I understand the feeling completely.

Ritsu

I see.

Ritsu

I was curious, so I bought one too. I ate the wafer between classes, and it was quite good.

Miyako

What?! Did you open the card?

Ritsu

Oh, yes. I opened it just a moment ago... Here it is.

Miyako

Wha...!!!

Ritsu

It's sparkly and pretty, isn't it? This kind of finish is called holographic, right?

Miyako

Foil stamping, a holographic finish... And a rare key visual from just before the anime aired...!

Miyako

Minetsuki-san!! This is the secret card!!

Ritsu

It is?

Miyako

Yes! It wasn't shown in the card lineup!

Miyako

Ahh... It's absolutely divine...!! You've gotten your hands on an incredible treasure, Minetsuki-san...!!

Ritsu

I didn't realize it was that rare.

Ritsu

In that case... here. You can have it, if you'd like.

Miyako

Whaaat!?

Ritsu

I'll watch anime or read manga if someone recommends something to me, but I don't really go out of my way to buy merch.

Miyako

You would give it... to me!? I couldn't possibly accept!!

Ritsu

!

Miyako

You are the one the card chose, Minetsuki-san. Please treasure it and keep it somewhere secure!

Miyako

And one more thing... Please be especially careful on your way home after dark...!

Ritsu

Uh...? All right...
