第
48th Sweet: Glico
[TL note: "glico" is derived from a shortening of "glycogen", which is one of the candy's ingredients]

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

078:

喫
I've forgotten something at Tou-kun's place...

=====

あ
Is that so? Saya-shi said she'd come at Shikada Dagashi later, so you can ask her to take it with her.

い
No...! I mean... Well, I /could/, but...

=====

僕
What I forgot there is the manga I'm drawing... and...

=====

豆
Tou-kun coaxed me into drawing characters modeled after Hotaru-san and Saya-chan (well, it's not like I was against the idea)... I can't let her see that!!

い
Well... It's a bit...

こ
How about drawing them in sexier poses?

い
Good idea!

=====

な
I understand... I can tell it's a serious matter just by looking at your face, Kokonotsu-kun.

ほ
Hotaru-san...!

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

079:

「
/"Glico"/
caramel candies...!

=====

こ
As you know,
just like their slogan /!\ /"300 meters per candy"/ indicates,

=====

実
each of these candies contains 16kcal of energy, which is what it takes to run 300m.

=====

「
We're running to Endou,
Kokonotsu-kun!

[on the glico]

ひ
300 meters per candy

グ
Glico

お
they're good and make you strong

[end of glico]

「
"Glico"!!

特
Everyone can recognize its characteristic package with the "finish line logo". They're caramel candies that contain glycogen, a nutrient present in oysters.

=====

…
...
Okay!

な
Getting excited for no apparent reason.

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

080:

Ｇ
Go!

=====

こ
There's about 1500m from here to Endou.
If each candy lasts 300m...

つ
Then...!

=====

５
We'll arrive there using exactly five candies!

な
I see...

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

081:

残
The last 300m!!

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

082:

こ
Now, I just need to eat a fifth candy to reach...

=====

な
Wha-

=====

な
What have I done?! How could I forget...?

グ
A pack of "Glico" contains only four candies...!!

=====

こ
But then how am I supposed to run the last...

=====

‼
!!

=====

こ
With this...
it adds up...

足
to 1500m...

=====

ほ
Ho-

ほ
Hotaru-san...! But you...

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

083:

走
Run, Kokonotsu-kun!!

私
Don't worry about me...! Did you forget the reason why you're running...?!

=====

あ
She left a candy for me, which means...

=====

最
she knew from the very beginning fours candies wouldn't be enough...

パ
*crunch*

わ
And she ran the previous 300m without one...!!

=====

ほ
Hotaru-san...!!

=====

喫
Café

エ
Endou

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

084:

ふ
Phew.
I guess I'll get going soon.

ん
Hmm?

=====

コ
It's where Kokonotsu and my brother were sitting.

忘
Did they forget it?

For the first time, Kokonotsu understood the true meaning of "overwhelming violence".
