Ah, there you are!

ふ
Hu hu... Look at this, Saya-chan.

Yogurette

Bifidus & Calcium

ポ
deliciously crunchy

そ
Exactly! The /Yogurette!/

=====

ま
Is that another dagashi?

確
Well, yes, but this one is slightly different from the others.

====================

029:

箱
Look, it's written "rich in nutriments" at the back of the box.
[TL note: it's an official terminology in japan, which states that it contains at least a given quantity of some given nutriments (it is used mainly for dietary supplements)]

エ
"Nutriments"...?

ど
Well, to put it simply,
that means it contains stuff like calcium, which is good for bones and teeth, and bifidus, which helps the digestive system.
In other words, it means this dagashi is good for the health.

=====

す
Isn't it amazing?! Children always want to eat sweets,

ど
but they're seen as "bad for the health".

や
No! No! No! I want to eat sweets! Sweets! Sweets!

お
No, you already eat enough sweets!!

=====

そ
But this one tries to appeal to the parents as healthy!

こ
The guy who designed it is a genius!

ま
Well, I guess this one should be okay.

よ
Hell, yeeeaaah!

=====

コ
You really know a lot about dagashi, Coconuts.

い
Ha ha... Thanks, but I don't actually know that much...

=====

そ
And here's what the contents of the box looks like...

=====

お
Oooh!

====================

030:

な
It kinda looks like cold medicine.

そ
Exactly! The company that produces this dagashi also produces medicines, and they used their knowledge to create this packaging.

=====

な
It really looks like it could be used while playing doctor.

=====

お
P-
Playing doctor...?

そ
C-C'mon... We're already in fourth grade...

？
?

別
Well, I don't really want to play that... But if you want to...

=====

い
No, I don't really want to play doctor either.

ま
Well, playing childish games once in a while doesn't sound too bad either!!

====================

031:

何
What in the world am I doing...?

せ
Doctooor...

=====

ど
What's wrong?

な
I think I have a fever.

そ
Okay, I'll take your temperature.

=====

体
I don't have a thermometer...
So I'll have to...

=====

コ
I-Isn't your body temperature's kinda low, Coconuts...?

は
Haah!

Haah!

Haah!

No, it's your hand that's burning hot, Saya-chan!!

Why did that memory have to pop into my mind just now...?

I hate how embarrassing memories just randomly pop up without warning...

=====

…
...

コ
Coconuts must have forgotten...

ア
Since he's so dense...

=====

ま
Well, it's just an embarrassing memory, after all...

シ

I guess it suits me better if he's actually forgotten...

お
Oh! Hiya, Hotaru-chan!

お
Hey, Saya-chan!
