 **Aruru:**Nnngh... No idea. What goes here?

 **Shizuha:**You okay, Aruru-chan? I heard you groaning...

 **Aruru:**Hi, Shizuha-chan! I'm stuck on this crossword.

 **Shizuha:**Ah, that's right. You're into crosswords. Let me see... I know this one. It's pro--

 **Aruru:**Nooo! Don't tell me! I almost have it!

 **Shizuha:**Oh, sorry. But you know, I don't think I've ever seen you this serious about anything before.

 **Aruru:**Hrm... Hrmmm...

 **Aruru:**Lalafin! Morning! What are you up to?

 **Lalafin:**Morning, Aruru! I was playing with this new slime I just bought.

 **Aruru:**A slime?

 **Lalafin:**This colorful jiggly thing.

 **Aruru:**It's nice. And really jiggly indeed!

 **Lalafin:**Yup. Jiggle jiggle!

 **Aruru:**Jiggle jiggle!

 **Lalafin:**Jiggle jiggle jiggle!

***Jiggle jiggle jiggle jiggle!***

 **Aruru:**Tsukasa-chan, this exchange doesn't sound natural to me.

 **Tsukasa:**Huh? What do you mean?

 **Aruru:**Whenever I try saying these lines, they just feel forced.

 **Tsukasa:**Yeah, it seemed like you were having a little trouble with that part.

 **Tsukasa:**Do you want to talk to Shizuha about changing the script? What should we do instead?

 **Aruru:**Well, that's the part I don't know yet.

 **Tsukasa:**I see... Now that you point it out, this dialog bothers me, too.

 **Tsukasa:**Hmm... Oh? You know, maybe we should change the line before that instead.

 **Aruru:**You're right! That could work! Let's try it like that!

 **Tsukasa:**If it works better with this tweak, let's let Shizuha know. Okay, you start!

 **Aruru:**What are you reading, Lalafin?

 **Lalafin:**I picked this up for a change!

 **Aruru:**Dinosaur encyclopedia? Looks fun!

 **Lalafin:**Right? It fills you with a sense of wonder!

 **Aruru:**Which dinosaur is your favorite? I like pteranodon! And iguanodon!

 **Lalafin:**My top choice is archaeopteryx!

 **Aruru:**Ackeeoh...what?

 **Lalafin:**Archaeopteryx means "old wing." It's an ancestor of birds!

 **Aruru:**Wow, you sound like a scholar or something!

 **Lalafin:**You can ask me anything about dinosaurs!

 **Aruru:**I'll remember that if we ever put on a play about them.

Main Street

 **Lalafin:**Aruru, let's see what you can really do! Here, look at this!

 **Aruru:**A raffle?

 **Lalafin:**Yes! I need your luck, Aruru. The top prize is tickets to an amusement park!

 **Aruru:**I may be lucky, but it's not like I win raffle prizes all that often.

 **Lalafin:**It's all right! Not like I'd have a better chance.

 **Aruru:**Okay! Just don't blame me if I don't win!

 **Lalafin:**All we won is two packets of candy.

 **Aruru:**Tsukasa-chan loves these chocolate dipping sticks! We're so lucky!

 **Lalafin:**Are you sure this counts as lucky?

 **Aruru:**I'm so happy!

Park

 **Aruru:**Hold on a sec, Tsukasa-chan!

 **Tsukasa:**Huh? Why are you crouching down like that? Are you feeling unwell?

 **Aruru:**No, look! Ta-da! It's a four-leaf clover!

 **Tsukasa:**Nice! Well done spotting it!

 **Aruru:**I've always been good at finding them. Look, there's another. And over here, too!

 **Tsukasa:**What? Wait, are they that common?

 **Aruru:**Tsukasa-chan, I found four!

 **Tsukasa:**Huh? How'd she get that far away already!?

 **Lalafin:**So, Aruru. You have two types of robots in mecha anime. Ones you pilot from the inside and those you control from the outside.

 **Lalafin:**Which type do you think is better?

 **Aruru:**Hmm... I know! The ones you control from outside are safer!

 **Lalafin:**Good thinking! But unfortunately, that type can just as easily be controlled by the enemy.

 **Aruru:**Oh, I see. So you've got to pilot them from the inside.

 **Lalafin:**That type can be stolen by the enemy.

 **Aruru:**So it's dangerous either way!

 **Lalafin:**Don't worry, there's a third option! You can steal the enemy's robot!

 **Aruru:**It's kind of like musical chairs!

 **Lalafin:**Whew! We've done a lot today! Things are coming together nicely.

 **Aruru:**Yeah! But I'd like to practice just a little bit more.

 **Aruru:**Lalafin, want to practice with me on Sunday?

 **Lalafin:**I'm up for that, but can we start in the afternoon?

 **Aruru:**Sure. Sundays are perfect for sleeping in, after all.

 **Lalafin:**Huh? I watch TV all morning! That's my Sunday thing!

 **Aruru:**What? TV?

 **Lalafin:**Yeah, they show anime and tokusatsu hero shows all morning.

 **Aruru:**Ah. You do like those a lot, don't you?

 **Aruru:**Okay, you watch your anime and I'll sleep in!

 **Aruru:**Teehee! The girls are going to love my home-baked cookies!

 **Aruru:**I put all the things they like in them.

 **Aruru:**Furikake! Strawberries! Pickled squid! And mugwort from Shizuha-chan!

 **Aruru:**All happily mixed together in this fusion cuisine!

 **Aruru:**I can't wait to see the joy in everyone's faces.

 **Aruru:**These cookies also look better than the ones I made before. This time they're really special!

 **Aruru:**Oh, I hear Lalafin's footsteps. That's the lucky girl who gets to try my cookies first!

 **Misora:**Hmm hm hmm♪

 **Aruru:**Someone's in a good mood today.

 **Misora:**I'm going home for the long weekend.

 **Misora:**And my parents' troupe is putting on one of my favorite plays!

 **Aruru:**Nice! I miss watching their plays.

 **Aruru:**Hey, can I come with you? I'd like to say hi to your family, too!

 **Misora:**Sure, if you want. My parents have been asking about you, so come and pay them a visit.

 **Aruru:**Okay! But I can't visit empty-handed. Let's go gift-shopping after class today!

 **Misora:**Sure. I guess we don't have much time until the break.

 **Aruru:**What would your parents like? You've got such a big family. Should I buy a bag of rice?

 **Misora:**They'd be happy to get that, but it's not the kind of gift you expect from your daughter and her friend.

 **Aruru:**Look what I found! I'm so lucky. So let me share my luck with you!
