28th Sweet: Watapachi

TL note: Watapachi is a type of carbonated cotton candy. “Wata” means “cotton” and “pachi” refers to the “fizzy” sound you hear when eating it.

I have a canker sore.
Aaaah! Ouch, ouch…! That sounds so painful…



P79

Well, I think I know why I got it…
Yeah, I guess.
It’s probably because of…

insufficient sleep.

I don’t think so…

Huh…? Is it stress, then!?
Of course not!! I don’t know how much you sleep or how stressed you are, but…
There’s a much more obvious cause!!!!
I do sleep a lot.

Is it because I eat so many sweets?
That’s right…


P80

That can’t be!
Huh!? You’re brushing me off!!? I’m SURE that’s the reason!

But… I’m in trouble now.
Why?

Ohhhh… Ohhhhh! She’s looking at the watapachi as if she wants it really badly…!!

P81

What’s Watapachi!?
A soft and fluffy candy with the mysterious texture of cotton wool. There’s a hard candy mixed in, which makes a crackling sound when you put it in your mouth!
It sounds like “pachi pachi”!!
sfx: pachi pachi pachi
bag: watapachi
sfx: fluffy
I-it’s so good… but it hurts!! Yum!


!!

Don’t do it!!
!?

If you have a canker sore, the watapachi is probably only…
gonna make it hurt worse!!

You’re right… That may be true…
But…


P82

the knowledge that I shouldn’t eat something…
only makes me want it more badly…!!

Aaaaah… Aaaaaaah…

Imagination.

sfx: fluff fluff
Whoa!!

Hm...? Where are we?
I think it’s about time for us to explode.
It would seem so...

I see... This is the last time we’ll ever get to talk to each other...
Hey, stop it. Don’t be a downer.

......
......?


P83

Imagination
Sorry... But it’s time...
I’ll be going first.
H-hey! Wait! There’re still some things I need to tell you...!!

The time we spent together... was pretty fun.
sfx: crack...
Stop! I don’t wanna hear it!!

sfx: BANG
Farewell
my friend...

Heh heh...

H-Hotaru-san?

Huh!? What’s up, Kokonotsu-kun?
Nothing, but...
She must’ve been imagining something weird again...

Doesn’t it hurt? Your canker sore...

sfx: pachi pachi pachi


P84

Aaaaaaaaah!!
sfx: pachi pachi pachi (etc...)
Waaaaah!!!?

My canker sore!! The crackling of the watapachi is hitting my sore spot!! (H)
Aah!! Aah!! I’m in pain just from listening to the sounds!! Don’t tell me how it feels!!
The pain is getting more and more intense... But when it’s done crackling... (H)
Hm...?

It feels...
so good...
sfx: sigh...

“I think you’re the only one who enjoys that feeling, Hotaru-san...” That’s what Kokonotsu wanted to say, but he wisely kept his mouth shut.
