突
Sorry for the sudden announcement,

Ｄ
Dekai
[translation note: "dekai" means "huge"]

ほ
but I'm currently at Hotaru-san's place.

そ
When I asked her: By the way, I know it's a bit late, but where do you live, Hotaru-san?

敵
So you stay wary of your enemies' movements... You're indeed my rival.

と
She willingly invited me to visit her place.
By the way, it seems I'm her rival.

…
...

や
Damn it... I'm getting so nervous...

女
I've come to visit a girl's place all alone...!

い
It's not like I'm having inappropriate expectations... /!\ But I can't really help thinking about it either...

ご
Sorry to make you wait so long.

菓
[...]gashi

は
N-No problem. You really didn't take that lo-

063:

着
It took me longer than I thought to get changed.

あ
It's okay, I don't... Hmm?

ト
*tap*

絶
Admit it, you were just eating dagashi!!

女
Girls always take a lot of time to prepare themselves.

絶
She's definitely lying...

…
But anyway...

部
A casual dress...? She's wearing a casual dress...

ワ
A simple dress, huh...? It gives off a different vibe than what she usually wears, which is pretty nice too... He he...

は
Ah!!
Stop it, Kokonotsu! Don't look at her with such impure intent...

落
You must regain your compo-

！
!

064:

じ
All right, I'll prepare something to drink.

カ
*pop*

な
What was that just now?!

え
*hack*

げ
*cough*

げ
*cough*

な
Something... I saw something, but...

？
?

し
I will not say what...

あ
I will not dare say what I saw, but it was wonderful...!!

え
Erm...

確
I think the powder's in there...

は
Ah! No, no, no, no, no! Hotaru-san's preparing me some tea...

こ
It's rude to her to have such indecent thoughts...!!

==========

065:

こ
It should be somewhere in that closet...

神
Lord, give me the strength to... Hmm?

耐
Endure it, Kokonotsu!!!

心
Don't let the demon gain control of your heart...!!!

お
Oh, there it is!

い
You can't let it!!

よ
All right.

は
Here, it's done.

さ
Please have some.

あ
Thank you...

ワ
I've done it... I have defeated the demon...!!

ふ
Hu hu...

ほ
It's tea Hotaru-san has made especially for me...

==========

066:

こ
Wait...! It's not tea, it's American Cola!!

ア
American Cola

[on the american cola]

マ
Matsuyama

ア
American

コ
Cola

[end of american cola]

ふ
This fine powder comes in a small pouch. Dissolve it in water to obtain delicious cola!!

そ
Exactly... You're correct!! It's American Cola... The "da" in dagashi is the "da" from "odachin". A cola can is too high-class a treat to buy with a little something...
[translation note: "odachin" means "a little something/tip"]

だ
But, however! A pouch of American Cola costs around 20 yen! If you have the money to buy a cola can, you can buy six American Colas! Wow! It's such a good deal!

セ
S-She's giving its selling points?!

家
Sometimes, I can't wait until I come back home, so I search for a tap in a park to pour water directly into the pouch and drink from it.

加
It's hard to pour the right quantity...

気
I know how you feel, but wait until you're home!!

最
These days, there are fewer and fewer parks, it really makes me sad...

そ
I see...

都
Cities also have their own problems...

他
The company that makes it has made many other very attractive flavors.

グ
Grape

パ
Pineapple

メ
Melon

イ
Strawberry

フ
Fresh Soda

ソ
Soda

オ
Orange

[end of funmatsu juice]

こ
Combining them to create new flavors is also very fun!

そ
You sound like a grade schooler at a drink bar...

は
Ah!! I'm sure it would be delicious if we mixed all of the flavors together!!

は
Ah!

完
That's exactly how grade schoolers think!!

さ
Let's try it right now!

混
Mix them, dissolve them...

よ
All right, it's done!!

え
What a nasty color!!

や
I don't think you should drink it, seriously!!

大
Don't worry, no matter how good it is, I'll leave some of it for you.

え
Huh?! You think it will taste good?!

そ
Well, then, let's see how good it is!

‼
!!

==========

068:

な
Why are you making that face...?

や
Does it taste as bad as I imagine...?

い
N-No! Not at all...! Wait, what do you mean by "as bad as I imagine"...?!

い
Well, erm... Anyway, why are you making that face, then?

な
How to put it...? I guess you could say /the taste is dead/...

死
Dead?!

飲
You'll get what I mean once you drink it yourself.

え
Huh?! You want me to drink that?!

当
But of course.

…

…

…
...
Ah...

コ
What Kokonotsu thought was that mixing things randomly was definitely a bad idea.
