Handwritten: 'When you live with a cat you end up liking the cat too much, do you end up getting bad at drawing cats that are that cute?'
---Just as my friend said, I'm no good at drawing cats anymore...

Akari: Well,
how about as an 'experiment'...
for now, we try using 200 grams for the sticky rice flour dumplings?
Bag: Refined Rice Flour
Hina: Okay!
SFX: NOD
Akari: How about we call it 'Chilled Rice Flour Syrup'?
Hina: Okay!
That'll be so cute!!
Paper: Sangatsu Town Shopping District
Sangatsu Festival
July 28th (Sun.)
Center Square: Special Sales [Cut off]
Lots of Stands
Hero Monster
Photography Event
Kids Corner
Bottom: *Children will be distributed a super-ball
Narr: ----At the annual Summer Festival in the shopping district
Mikazuki Temple has their own stand.
And this year, Ojii-chan let us decide on the menu.

Page 158:
Akari: To put it simply,
the way you make sticky rice flour dumplings...
(1)
Knead the refined rice flour in water
(2)
Roll it into a ball and boil it.
------That is all☆
Handwritten: UHUHU
So? Easy, right?
Ahaha...
HUUUUH?
Hina: Huh?! Um.... Yeah, sounds simple...
Actually isn't it way too simple?!
Hina: We'll go with 200 grams for the rice flour
and about 160 cc for the water, I think.
Handwritten: They sell white rice flour at the supermarket!
Akari: You pour the flour into a bowl,
then add in the water a little at a time and mix it together.
SFX: KYUH KYUH
Handwritten: Once it's well mixed, put a lot of pressure and knead it.
Akari: If you put in too much water it gets all sticky which makes it hard to roll into balls,
so you'll want to stop while it's still holding together well.
----Then you roll those into long rods with your hands
SFX: GORO GORO GORORI... (ROLL ROLL ROLL)
Akari: then rip off bite-sized pieces with your fingers.
SFX: MOGIH MOGIH

Page 159:
Hina: Mhm. I think I''m getting the hang of it!!
This is really fun!
Momo: Dumplings!!
These are Momo's!
Akari: Yup. You're really good, Momo.
But maybe those are a bit too big?
SFX: KONE KONE (KNEAD KNEAD) KURU KURU (ROLL ROLL) WASHITAWASHIYA GUNI GUNI
Handwritten: HUHAAA
Hina: Onei-chan, is this a good size?
Is it small enough?
Handwritten: Is it okay to make them round like this?
Akari: It's good.
They'll expand a bit when we boil them, so that's perfect.
Flour dumplings that are a bit larger get a dent in them like this.
But... That's why we're using small grains this time.
SFX: CHIMAHHH
Akari: And then
put this in the boiling water.
SFX: BARA BARA TOPUN TOPUN GURAGURA... (GLUG GLUG)
Aka: After 2 to 3 minutes they'll burble up to the surface
and you keep boiling it for about 1 minute after that.
Handwritten: Just a little more I think...
Oo...
A little more?
Aka: Then you put them into ice water
which makes them hold their shape.
SFX: POCHAN POCHAN

Page 160:
Aka: -----And
There!!
All done!
Hina: T-That was so fast and simple!!
Handwritten: Behold!
Beautiful!
SFX: PAPPAAANNN MOCHIIIIN
Aka: Okay,
now we just throw them casually into some soy sauce with sugar!!
Hina: YUUUUUM!
They're so cute and fluffy!
Aka: Now that we have the flour dumplings themselves done...
we're on to the syrup.
Hina: Matcha, right?
Plumb syrup
and chilled adzuki-bean soup...
Aka: Mmm... This matcha is so good!!
...But matcha is pretty expensive...
I'd rather not spend 300 yen per cup...
Hina: Um, well 200 grams of refined rice flour
makes about 60 small dumplings...
Umm...
Handwritten: Hmmm...
Mumuu

Page 161:
Handwritten: HAHH
Hina: That's right!! Then,
what about some cold milk tea?!
Some that's rich and sweet!!
Akari: Oh, that could be good!! And tea leaves for black tea would definitely be cheaper!!
Ah, then how about
we add in some black pearl tapioca?
Handwritten: That color could be a good accent!
Guys: Yes!!
That sounds really good!!
Akari: Since the tapioca will cost a lot, instead of using throw-away bowls and spoons
we scrape together all the bowls here at Mikazuki Temple and Auntie Misaki's shop
and just keep washing them. Though that might be kinda of a pain...
Hina: I know, let's have Kiriyama-kun wash them!!
Akari: Great idea!
Let's ask!!
Oji: Hmm...
The dumplings are fairly well made.
Seems you soaked them in cold water----- Mm.
----And tapioca, eh...?
Hm. Another high-calorie item...
Quite the consistency it's got to it.
SFX: MOKKYU MOKKYU MOKKYU
Hina: Ojii-chan... W... What do you think?
SFX: DOKI DOKI... (BA-DUMP BA-DUMP)
Handwritten: This is a kind of starch, ain't it?

Page 162:
Ojii: Well,
I guess it's all right.
Handwritten (Top Right): Mm
Handwritten (BottomRight): Goddammit, that was tasty...
Ojii: I think young people will like it.
Getting some enthusiastic crowds at the stand would be nice.
Both: We did it! ☆
Handwritten (Center): It's a festival after all.
Handwritten (Center Left): KYAAA
SFX: PAAAAH...
Ojii: ---This part is really something special.
Plumb syrup? Such a nice, crisp flavor.
Hina: That's
the plumb syrup Chiho-chan made.
Oji: .........
That so?
Smells like great plumbs...
Hina: ---As soon as summer arrived
I went to see Chiho-chan.
Chiho-chaaan!
SFX: BURORO...

Page 163:
Chiho: ...
Hina-chan...
Hina: She did lots of stuff like show me around the farm
and show me the puppies
her dog Hana-chan had.
Handwritten (Right): WAAAAAAA
Play with me!
WAF WAF
SHIKYUUU
Handwritten (Left): LOVE
LOVE
Handwritten (Bottom Left): Play with meee
Hina: And when we were talking
sometimes Chiho-chan would get really quiet
and space out for a little while.
From what I talked about with Doctor Satou,
even after all this time,
whenever Chiho-chan sees a middle school aged girl
she freezes up, apparently.

Page 164:
Hina: When she sees girls her own age
feelings of pain and frustration
come rushing into her mind...
---And her body
fights really hard against it, apparently.
The doctor told me me
is pushing herself really hard here
little by little
so she can talk and act
like she used to again.
----In the evening, Chiho-chan caught a fever
and her mom brought us to the train station by car.
'Thank you so much for being Chiho's ally.' her mom said over and over, shaking out hand.
'Chiho and I will be here giving it out all.'

Page 165:
Hina: ---The 3rd step
is for her to make friends her own age...
Chiho-chan is
fighting even now.
I'm going to send Chiho-chan photos of the summer festival.
Photos of everyone enjoying the plumb syrup.
---And
then I'm going
to meet with her again.
Okay,
ready to get going?
Akari: Let's begin, shall we?
