44th Sweet: Tsukuru Gaburi Chew
[TL note: "tsukuru" means "to make", and "gaburi" is an onomatopoeia for biting something strongly]

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

046:

コ
Kokonotsu-kun, are you the type of person who manage to lick candies until the end?

噛
Or do you end up biting them halfway through?

=====

あ
Ah, I'm the type...

ガ
*cranch* *cranch*

あ
Well, it's pretty obvious which one you are...

=====

と
I know. Nevertheless, biting a candy is heresy...

で
But I still can't help it.

し
However!

=====

噛
There's a candy you can bite; it's even the way it's supposed to be eaten! Its name is...

[on the gaburi chew]

ガ
Gaburi Chew!

[end of gaburi chew]

「
"Gaburi Chew"!

=====

へ
Hmm... Wait! Is it really a candy, and not a gum?

ふ
Hu hu... It's often mistaken for a gum, but it's actually a candy.

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

047:

ガ
It has been developed as a candy that children can bite and play with just like gum.

ガ
It's a candy you can "chew" with a "gaburi" sound, hence "gaburi chew"!

は
Hmm... I see. Now that you mention it,
it's way too hard for a chewing gum.

=====

そ
I know, right! It's super hard! When you bite into it, it really feels like you could pull your teeth out...!

子
Hotaru when she was a child

ヤ
Oh, crap...!

お
Yeah! It's really good, but eating it really hurts the jaw!

=====

と
Right,

=====

い
so let's leave this subject aside for a moment and...

…
?

=====

あ
Ah, that's right, Kokonotsu-kun!

え
Huh?! What's this cute little thing?!

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

048:

自
Have you never wanted to try and make your own original dagashi?

=====

オ
My own original...?

そ
Yes!

=====

普
You're usually at the shop, selling dagashi.

で
But...

=====

一
I'm sure you've dreamed of it at least once!

売
"Ah, I want to make my own dagashi, not just sell them!"

=====

ま
Well... I guess maybe once, when I was a child...

で
Ah, I knew it! And so...

=====

な
You can fulfill this dream with this
"Tsukuru Gaburi Chew"!

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

049:

ね
I guess it must be something like Neru Neru Neru ne...
Mix it, knead it,
it's done!

ほ
Oooh!

=====

つ
There are many dagashi that you have to make before eating them...
But it's surprising that you can even make animal figures with dagashi...

え
Huh?! Is that what you meant by "make"?!

=====

え
Hmm... Let's see... We're supposed to make "animals" by putting "Gaburi Chew" into the mold and pressing...

わ
Hiya!

ね
Doesn't it sound fun?!

ま
Well...

They're cute.

There's four pieces of Gaburi Chew of different colors, and molds to make different parts in each pack.

へ
Hmmmm...

色
It means we can mix colors if we want! Let's try it right away!

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

050:

…
Ghh...!

051:

熱
It's the heat...

=====

熱
The heat?

え
Yes. You know how children have warmer hands than adults?
Here, touch my hand...!

=====

‼
!!

=====

あ
Ah!!
Erm... I...!

ね
See? My hands are pretty cold!

こ
I think that heating Gaburi Chew makes it softer and therefore more malleable.

=====

…
...
I see, then...

=====

と
Therefore, let's turn off the AC!

あ
Ah, damn it! Why did she have to choose that option?!

These lions aren't perfect, but they're still pretty well done!

あ
It's too hot...

そ
I agree!

=====

こ
Now we can turn the AC back on... Having a new AC is so great...

は
Haaah...

と
And now...

=====

次
We can make the remaining "cat" and "dog".
