Momo: So that's why we have so many mosquitos lately...
Neighbours: Wha!? what was that water!?
Madoka: ...Well, we can only use the rain water for cleaning the toilet

Madoka: Anyway, Momo! please wear your panty!
Momo: Eh? It's for COOL BIZ* Madoka~~ (small text: it's cool)
*COOL BIZ (Japanese government campaign encouraging companies to set their air conditioner thermostats to 28 degrees Celsius over the summer)

Momo: With this we can stay cool without using AC or electric fan and save more money!
Madoka: But, that's just embarassing...

Madoka: Ah, we're wearing the summer uniform from today right?
Momo: ! Right!! We have swimming lesson today too, so I'm gonna wear swimsuit underneath uniform

Momo: Th...this swimsuit is too tight....!!
Madoka: Sarcasm? was that a sarcasm?
Momo: This swimsuit is too tight when it's not wet! and hot too!!
Madoka: That's because polyester has the worst ventilation

Momo: Also it's troublesome when I have to go to toilet!
Text: So just take it off then...
Man: Excuse me! It's postal service

Momo: Coming

Momo: Eh!? The price went down!?
Madoka: !!

Momo: I can't believe they cut 2000 yen in just a short time....
Chise: Well, maybe because that hamster does nothing other than licking...

Madoka: I'm...
Madoka: Going to the library for a bit

Chise: Hmm? Does she have something she want to check on?
Momo: I want to check if it's better to take off the swimsuit or not when in the toilet too
Chise: They have a book for that?

Momo: That's even more than mine and Madoka's food expenses!! (text: that's nice)

Kyouka: And there are also vaccination and animal's insurance
Kyouka: that costs 100 thousand yen every year

Kyouka: If it gets sick or hurt
Kyouka: that would cost me 1 million yen

Chise: Wow, it sure expensive to have a pet....
Kyouka: Momo-chan is part of my family, so it's obvious
Momo: Haha, my mother would kill me if I spend that much on a pet
