Arale

Yuno-san-chan's song got the client's approval right away.

Ritsu

Yeah...

Arale

?

Ritsu

Even though the info hasn't been officially released yet, it seems like the staff list for the tie-up song is already circulating...

Arale

? What's going on?

Ritsu

Apparently, people are getting excited because the lyricist is Yuno-san's former bandmate.

Arale

Wait, the song itself hasn't leaked yet, right!?

Ritsu

Yeah, it's only about the lyricist and the composer. Yuno-san's former band fans are thrilled.

Arale

Oh~ As long as they're happy, that's good~!

Ritsu

...

Arale

Let's do our best on the recording too, so they'll be happy with the finished song!

Ritsu

Yeah... Let's work hard!

Arale

Ooh!

Arale

Good work—

Arale

Huh...!?

Nonoka

Hey~

Yuno

...

Arale

Yuno-san-chan! Why are you here!?

Ritsu

So we were at the same school.

Nonoka

Today is Yuno-chan's Sukusukugrin day.

Yuno

Schooling.

Nonoka

And Nono-chan has invited her to lunch!

Arale

Ah.

Arale

Miyako-san... Uh... Umm...

Ritsu

Are you okay?

Miyako

I'm not okay.

Arale

Th-That's only natural!!

Miyako

Honestly, I can't think straight now, but I do think I have to draw a line under this...

Ritsu

You'd better not force yourself...

Miyako

Minetsuki-san, thank you for the material.

Miyako

It's pathetic... But I've clearly come to understand that I was just being used by Viola-san.

Miyako

I said a lot of awful things to Arale-san.

Miyako

I know an apology won't make it right, but I am truly sorry.

Arale

Aww, please raise your head!

Arale

Ah! Right! Here!

Miyako

Magilulu sticker...

Arale

Please take this!

Arale

Truth is, I'd wanted to give it to you way earlier, but I knew that there are times when people need to be watched over.

Arale

And so, I've been... um, you know... I'm only capable of things like this...

Arale

But I want you to feel better...

Miyako

...

Miyako

I will take this.

Arale

...

Arale

You don't have to feel bad about it at all, Miyako-san. You were deceived, that's all!

Miyako

I thought you would say that.

Miyako

Therefore, I will condemn myself.

Arale

C-Condemn~!?

Ritsu

Why do you have to do that!?

Miyako

It was my fault. I was an empty person with nothing inside.

Arale

Wh-What are you saying!? That's not true!

Nonoka

Miyako-chan...

Yuno

?

Miyako

...

Nonoka

Nono-chan thought about what Nono-chan wants to do.

Nonoka

Nono-chan wants to make everyone's flowers bloom.

Miyako

! Th-That's...

Nonoka

When the flowers wilt, I'll cheer them up. And when they look sad, I'll give them a big hug.

Nonoka

Nono-chan wants to make everyone's smiles bloom.

Nonoka

I can't hold it in anymore.

Nonoka

Because that's what Nono-chan wants to do!

Miyako

...

Nonoka

! Huuuuuuuuuuuug!

Miyako

Whoosh.

Nonoka

Wow~~!

Nonoka

You're good~

Miyako

I know exactly what you think.

Nonoka

Ugh~~~~

Yuno

You two get along well.

Miyako

I will also live the way I want to.

Nonoka

?

Miyako

Before that, I will do what needs to be done.

Nonoka

Miyako-chan, where are you going...?

Miyako

An act of atonement...

Miyako

Akihabara marathon, a hundred laps.

Arale

Morning~!

Ritsu

Arale-chan, morning.

Arale

Huh? Homework?

Ritsu

No, it's prep work. I'm bad at world history.

Arale

Ouch, that hits close to home...

Ritsu・Arale

?

Ritsu

"Miyako Fuji shared Health data"... Miyako-san seems to be running again today.

Arale

Ten thousand steps!? It's still morning!?

Ritsu

Building stamina is important, but...

Arale

Condemn? She really doesn't have to do that...

Ritsu

I guess she just can't forgive herself...

Arale

...

Ritsu

I kind of understand that she feels better while running.

Arale

Ricchan...

Ritsu

For me, it's the guitar and the aged meat...

Arale

Aged meat...

Ritsu

The rich umami overflowing from the dense red meat.

Arale

Umami...

Morning~

Morning~

Arale

Oh, morning~

Already talking about dinner?

Geez, you two are way too unflappable~

Arale

Huh?

The video!

Arale

Ah~!

Ritsu

Thank you for letting us know.

Don't mention it~

Arale

...

Arale

(What I can do.)

Arale

(No...)

Arale

(What I want to do.)

Arale

Di...

Arale

Disclosure request~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!???

That video on social media...

Or rather, that malicious fake video. We've filed a disclosure request regarding it.

Nonoka

Disclosuuure requeeeest~!

When they've gone this far, we can't just let it go.

They laid their hands on our precious girls, so we're gonna make 'em pay!

Nakamachi-san, Fuji-san.

Miyako・Arale

Yes!

You two, just hang in there a little longer, okay?

Arale

...

Arale

I'm not afraid of that kind of thing anymore!

If you say so...

...

Miyako

...

Arale

Um, there's something I want to tell everyone.

Nonoka・Miyako・Manager

?

Arale

I'll chat with everyone through my songs.

Ritsu

...

Yuno

?

Arale

I've always been thinking... I want to chat and share my feelings of love with everyone.

Arale

I'll do a live show!

Ritsu・Miyako

Yeah! Huh!?

Yuno

Huh.

Nonoka

Nono-chan-san agrees!

Miyako

But...! If anything else happens...!

Arale

I know we might be misunderstood, but if we stay silent, nothing will reach anyone.

Miyako

...!

Arale

I'll sing.

Nonoka

Nono-chan too~!

Ritsu

Me too.

Ritsu

I don't want to be someone created by others. I want to show my true self.

Yuno

You're already yourself.

Ritsu

?

Miyako

...

Miyako

I agreed to the live show.

Arale

Ms. Manager...

For the first time... The whole band is in agreement.

Arale

...

I'm all for it!

Arale

Alright!

Because I felt everyone's resolve loud and clear!

Let's do a live show!

Arale

Ugh~~~~~~~

Nonoka・Arale

Yaaay~~~~~!!

Ritsu

What about the songs?

Nonoka

We made one at the beach!

Yuno

It really suits our vibe.

Arale

Th-That one, and...

Nonoka・Yuno

?

Arale

The feelings from the past and for the future! I want to turn them into lyrics!

Arale

Maybe...

Nonoka

That's great~

Yuno

I'm probably not the right person to say this, but... Are you okay?

Arale

?

Yuno

Not only composing... Writing lyrics also means facing yourself.

Ritsu

I see.

Yuno

During composition for the tie-up song, I kind of...

Ritsu

That's why you made depressive posts.

Yuno

Don't call them depressive posts!

Yuno

And... I've already drawn a line under my feelings.

Ritsu

By drawing a line, you mean...

Miyako

...

Yuno

It's not a big deal.

Yuno

I just met an old friend and was happy about it...

Yuno

What?

Nonoka

You're not a mole! You talk to us properly, Yuno-chan!

Yuno

You're annoying. I'm talking to Nakamachi-san.

Arale

I'm okay now.

Arale

I think the old me would've been hopeless. But now, I feel like I can do it!

Ritsu

Arale-chan...

Now that's the Arale Nakamachi I expected!

Arale

Huh!? Oh, really? Ehehehehehehe~

Public opinion is still harsh, though.

Arale

!

Arale

If I'm with everyone, I can do this!

Miyako

!

To think the day would come when you'd say that... I'm so moved!

Ritsu

Well then, everyone. For the live show, let me borrow your hands.

Miyako

Huh?

Nonoka

Hand~!

Yuno

Huh? Huh?

Arale

What? What~?

Ritsu

Yo~~

Alright, let's try solving one problem using that formula.

Miyako

(I never imagined we would be like this when we first met.)

Miyako

(That's my line.)

Miyako

(If this meeting is fated...)

Miyako

(I hope it continues.)

Arale

Ta-da~~~~~~~~~~~!

Nonoka

The bakery is back!

Ritsu

That anpan is the third collab with Magilulu.

Arale

That's right, it's already started!

Arale

If you collect 100 campaign stickers, you can even get a figure of the character who took first place in the end card popularity poll~!

Yuno

"Hmm...? It's noon?"

Arale

Yuno-san-chan's voice from the smartphone!?

Nonoka

We've been connected for a while now! Yuno-chan, over here it's lunchtime.

Arale

Yuno-san-chan's at home?

Yuno

"Yeah."

Ritsu

What are you going to eat, Yuno-san?

Yuno

"I won't eat... I'll go to bed..."

Nonoka

C'mon~ Eat something~

Ritsu

You'll get more work done if you eat.

Yuno

"Hmm."

Arale

Yuno-san-chan's so busy.

Ritsu

Looks like today and tomorrow are the peak.

Arale

Yuno-san-chan, you can do it~!!

Yuno

"Ooh!"

Arale

Huh? Miyako-san, you're not taking part in the Magilulu collab this time?

Miyako

No, I just completely forgot about it. Starting tomorrow, it's bread life for me.

Arale

Ooh... Let's do our best! *Munch*...!

Nonoka

Ricchan, today!

Ritsu

Yes.

Arale

What~?

Nonoka

Ricchan and Nono-chan are trying out playing guitar together!

Arale

Really!? How's it going?

Ritsu

Hmm, the sounds just come naturally?

Arale

Come naturally?

Ritsu

It's like we're reacting to each other the moment we strike the strings.

Nonoka

Nono-chan's arm swung with a big sound~

Ritsu

You seem to have good synergy.

Nonoka

Ahem!

Ritsu

Miyako-san's keyboard is coming along nicely, too.

Miyako

Is that so...?

Ritsu

Yes.

Arale

I think it's great!

Miyako

That's a relief. I was playing while replaying Arale-san's singing in my head, and my fingers have started to move just the way I imagined.

Arale

!? Ugh~~~~~~~♡♡♡

Arale

For Miyako-san, I'll sing anytime! ——♪

Nonoka

No~~!

Arale

Gah!

Nonoka

That's for the live show!

Ritsu

You never know who might be listening.

Yuno

"I'm coordinating the equipment with Manager."

Nonoka

For the live show!

Arale

Wow~ We're so blessed~ All thanks to Yuno-san-chan and Ms. Manager~

Arale

Oh, right! Who's coming with me to scout out the live venue?

Ritsu

I'll go.

Arale

Okay~

Ritsu

Yuno-san, are you coming? The scout.

Yuno

"Ah... I leave it to you."

Ritsu

We've got this. Miyako-san, are you coming?

Miyako

I also have something to do.

Arale

Ah! The deadline, right?

Miyako

No...

Arale

Umm...!

Arale

About recent Chupasachu, I learned that Sachu had always understood the feelings hidden behind Chupa's words...

Arale

It had this tight and gripping feeling... Like those old one-shot stories, and it was really great!

Miyako

One-shot...

It was from before the series started, so I thought I'd never get to read it again... But then I found it in the tankōbon.

Miyako

!!!

Miyako

(So embarrassing!!! My own lingering attachments!!!!!!)

Arale

Huh? Oh, I didn't mean it in a weird way!

Miyako

(I'm talking about condemning and atonement, and yet I'm unconsciously full of lingering attachments!!)

Miyako

(Embarrassing! Embarrassing!! Embarrassing!!!)

Arale

It's Chupa and Sachu, so the relationship is totally different from the one-shot, but...

Miyako

...?

Arale

I simply like it.

Arale

Ehehe.

Miyako

...

Arale

Umm...

Miyako

Thank you.

Arale

Huh?

Miyako

I'm really happy to hear your comments.

Arale

♡ Oh, no, no, no, not at all~~!

Ritsu

Miyako-san, here.

Miyako

Yes.

Yuno

"Huh? A wheel stop?"

Miyako

This is...

Ritsu

It's emergency sugar for work. Please eat it when you really need it.

Miyako

So heavy... Thank you...

Arale

I'll help carry it to the classroom!

Nonoka

Nono-chan too~!

Miyako

...
