Kokonotsu!
I won!

GoriGori-kun
Wow, that's great.
You can go and pick out another ice cream.
Yay!
Hey, Kokonotsu-kun!
This child just tried to shoplift an ice cream!
There she is.
Umm, you see...
Which one should I pick?
Oh, I'm glad that's all it was.
I thought he was an agent sent by some organisation to target the Shikada Candy Shop.
What kind of organisation would do that?
And that's why...
So, Hotaru-san... You're here today as well, huh?
Of course I am!
I need to have you become a fine candy shop owner in order to convince You-san to join our company!
I guess she really was serious about that the other day...
You've got something amazing here.
It'd be a waste if you didn't succeed this place.
Snacks, jellies...
Doughnuts and Ramune sweets!
You've got everything here from the ordinary to the extraordinary.
This is just the best!
Honestly, I'm quite jealous!
But I have my own reasons...
Here, look!
I don't even know when or where this plastic model had its launch sale!
I just can't get enough!
Wh-What can't you get enough of?
But this right here is what draws my attention the most.
Kinako Winner Sticks
Kinako Winner Sticks.
Soy bean flour
What?
The kinako sticks?
Well, I guess they're a consistent and well-loved product.
Then, first of all...
I'll begin my lecture on that point.
Ready, Kokonotsu-kun?
War
The world of candy is one of war!
War
Original ideas, attractive catchphrases...
And distinct mascot characters!
Each and every day, the candy plot their own way of marketing their appeal.
The world of candy is indeed a battlefield!
And amidst that battlefield stands a candy whose packaging is plain and has no mascot.
The kinako stick who continues to fight on, believing only in his own strength.
He is the desert soldier!
Even now, the kinako sticks conceal their breathing and cover themselves in powder, awaiting their chance.
Their chance to bring us down!
What?! We're the ones being brought down?!
Now that the stage has been set...
Let's get eating!
Oh, uh, thanks.
However, there's a problem which arises here.
A problem?
Watch very closely!
See?
I only took one bite, but all this powder spilled all over my breasts!
Is something wrong, Kokonotsu-kun?
No, but uh, your breasts, huh?
See? Look closely!
Right, okay! I get it!
So the problem is that your clothes get dirty, is that right?
No.
The problem is that now there's less kinako to eat.
I see.
But I don't think there's anything you can do about that.
You're always going to spill some.
But you see, there is a way to eat it without spilling any kinako.
The kinako spills due to the vibrations caused when biting down.
And so the solution which has arisen is...
...the one shot kill!
And, well, now you're able to eat it without spilling any of the kinako.
But it's all over your face!
If you've got a better technique, I'd like to see it.
Well, I wouldn't call it a technique...
Just open your left hand like this,
and then lick the spilled kinako afterwards.
I see.
In other words, The Left Hand of God.
Since when did it have that name?
I'm impressed.
You've got a good grasp of the basics.
But now it's my turn...
...to show off one of my special techniques!
Devil's Sword!
Observe, Kokonotsu-kun! With this technique, I can eat multiple kinako sticks consecutively!
Weren't you trying to eat them without spilling the powder?!
This feeling of satisfaction is wonderful!
I apologise... for being delicious.
You really were brought down.
Dagashikashi
And so!
Drinking Ramune after being in that painful situation is like finding an oasis in the desert!
Is it?
By the way, is You-san out today as well?
Yeah.
He just went off somewhere and left me here to mind the shop.
Dad's always fooling around and making things difficult for me.
You're wrong there.
Adults have a lot of things going on.
We're still children, so we just don't understand.
Hotaru-san...
With that said, Kokonotsu-kun...
Do you want to...
...become an adult with me?
Huh? What... an adult?
Umm...
We need to go through some steps before getting to that, otherwise it's a bit dangerous...
It'll be fine.
We'll be doing it raw, but it'll be safe.
"nama"
All the more reason why we should get to know each other some more first!
Raw/draught/cheeky
Amazingly bubbly!!
beer
Here we go!
Raw/draught/cheeky
Amazingly bubbly!!
beer
What's that?
Famous for being a realistic imitation of beer when water is added,
Namaiki Beer.
Cheeky
With this, we can become and understand adults.
It may be cheeky, but there's no alcohol so it's completely safe.
"namaiki"
Th-That's great.
Say, Kokonotsu-kun. Have you ever experienced it before?
When your relatives would come over, the adults would all sit around drinking beer.
But you were the only one with juice or tea,
so you felt a little sad because you couldn't really fit in.
But with this, we might be able to fit in with the adults!
Might be able to, huh?
Dagashikashi
And so!
Now all we need to do is pour some water and...
It's just like real beer!
Haven't you ever had Namaiki Beer?
I haven't. I knew about it, but we don't stock any at our place.
In that case, I'll teach you a lot of things!
Uhh, right.
First, we need some snacks...
Cabbage Tarou
Potato Fries
Umaibo
Here's to our first drink together.
Cheers!
Ch-Cheers.
It's delicious!
It tastes like apple or pineapple juice!
Right, Hotaru-san?
Eating an Umaibo while drinking Namaiki Beer is just the best, right?
Umai, Umai! Bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo...
Yum
How did she get drunk
from drinking
non-alcoholic beer?
It's all gone already...
Kokonotsu-kun...
Get me another beer.
Umm, but I told you we don't stock any.
Kokonotsu-kun's being a meanie and won't get me another beer!
F-Fine!
I'll bring you something else!
Gosh...
Then, umm...
Hotaru-san, how about this?
I'll just have to drink myself to death...
We're drinkin' today!
Hey, Kokonotsu-kun!
C'mere and sit down!
What're you sittin' down for?
But you told me to sit here.
I never said that!
Entrant number one, Shidare Hotaru, here to perform the Umaibo!
Umai, Umai!
Bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo...
Cheap and big!
Bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo—!
Hotaru-san?
Entrant number two, Shidare Hotaru, now going to sleep!
Hotaru-san, you can't fall asleep here.
Please wake up!
Entrant number three, Shidare Hotaru...
Bo-bo-bo-bo...
Kinako Sticks and Namaiki Beer and...
M M M M M M M
Adults sure are difficult.
Shikada
Candy shop
Hey, Coconuts...
What is it, Saya-chan?
You been doing your homework?
Nope.
Me neither.
Summer holidays only just started,
so I don't think we really need—
Do you, like, hear some weird sound?
Yeah, I can hear something...
What is it?
Well, it's probably...
Oh?
Hello, you two.
I knew it.
Oh, you're that girl from the other day!
Saya-chan, do you know Hotaru-san?
Well, a lot happened...
Thank you for helping me out back then.
By the way, did you two hear a whistling sound just now?
It went pii.
Yeah.
You see...
...that was me!
W-Was it, now?
Don't you want to know how I was making that sound?
Umm...
How were you making that sound?
Well...
Ta-da! I used these!
Ramune Whistle
Oh, I know those!
They're those Ramune things that make a sound!
So that's what it was.
Throughout history, children have always loved tasty candy that you can have fun with!
And when you get bored of it, just eat it.
It's a perfect concept!
Those little toys that come with them are really cute, aren't they?
Are they?
Then I'll let you have it!
Really? Yay!
Look, Coconuts!
I got a cute one!
A-A mole person?
She's about to do something.
Yeah, I know.
The series of whistling candy started back in 1953 with the introduction of Whistling Gum.
Whistling Gum
Adapting existing whistle moulds to facilitate powdered gum,
the Gum Whistle was born.
But surprisingly, the Ramune Whistle wasn't invented for another twenty years after that.
Twenty years... For twenty years, Ramune Whistle was unable to become a Ramune whistle!
When I think of the frustration and pain he must gone through, I...
Blow
It's no use!
I just can't make a sound!
He's got a hole inside him! How lame!
And he doesn't even make a sound!
Right?
Ew, look!
That hole is so lame.
He should just plug it up.
Oh no!
It started raining!
Ah—
He ran.
After hearing the cruel words of those around him,
Ramune Whistle thought of himself as pathetic and considered giving up.
But...
Dammit! Dammit!
Hey.
What's wrong? You'll catch a cold, looking like that.
Gum Whistle-senpai!
I see, so you're gonna give up on being a whistle.
Yeah.
I wanted to become a great whistle like you...
...but I can still only make this pathetic sound.
All I can do is give up.
You're wrong.
You're wrong, Ramune Whistle.
You just need to have fun.
Have fun?
The children are waiting for us to make them smile with our tastiness.
Don't you think it's our duty as candy to have fun and give them those smiles?
Senpai...
Blow
Whistle
Hey, aren't you making a sound right now?
Wow, you're right!
I did it! I really did it!
And so Ramune Whistle became a true Ramune whistle.
What the hell is she on about?
I see.
What? You understood that?
You're trying to pass me off as Ramune Whistle, and my dad as Gum Whistle-senpai in this story, right?
I'm impressed, Kokonotsu-kun.
This plan of yours to get me to succeed the shop by showing me
how good candy is, or how good being a candy shop owner is, won't work that easily!
Keep up the act while you can.
I'll never succeed this place!
Oh, you and your jokes...
I'll never do it!
I'm not really sure what's going on, but let's stop fighting.
Like hell I'll succeed a candy shop!
What's that? You'll succeed it?
I will not!
Huh? If Coconuts doesn't succeed the candy shop, then...
I think that...
I think that running a candy shop suits you, Coconuts!
Right? I think so, too!
Umm... Well, I suppose...
Let's have fun together, Saya-chan!
Okay!
Dagashikashi
And so!
Here I go!
Aww...
You have much to learn.
This is pretty difficult, though.
Hey, are there any rules in menko?
card [slapping]
What?! Are you from the generation of people who don't know how to play menko?!
We're all born in the same generation.
Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo!
I wouldn't say so.
It's just a scramble for the menko.
Scramble?
If you flip over someone else's menko on the ground with your own,
then that menko becomes yours.
So if you're good at it, then even if you start with just one menko, you can steal a whole lot.
Sounds a bit hard unless you're pretty strong.
But there are also a lot of people who just collect them for the anime characters
or illustrations without bothering with the game.
It depends on the person, though.
Huh...
Now Saya-chan, it's your turn.
Oh, right. Umm...
Oh?
Not bad at all.
You're using your arm to create a centrifugal force.
Though usually, you just hold it like this.
I did it!
Huh?
I won't just stand by and lose!
Oh, a scissor grip!
That looks kinda cool.
Well, that's the reason people use it.
But it's really difficult to use.
I wonder about that.
Allow me to show you the Long Distance Diagonal Slice!
Second
Dance
Second Dance!
W-Wow!
She flipped over two at once!
How did you do that?
This is a move which took me two years of training in order to execute.
Two years?
But I guess I can show you the ropes.
Really?
Dagashikashi
And so!
It's not working.
I just can't seem to do it.
Don't give up.
You're on the right track.
Okay...
Let's give it another try.
Right!
Hey, that wasn't bad! Keep that up!
Alright...
Second Dance!
Umm, so you hold it like this and slice diagonally...
Diagonal Slice!
Just kidding!
Huh?
Hey, look! I flipped over three at once!
Is that good?
Saya-san...
Yeah? Was that good?
No...
Master Saya.
I've been defeated, Saya-shi!

Why are you calling me -shi?!
Please allow me to become your student!

How do you know if you've won when eating Kinako Winner Sticks?
You'll know when you see it, because the end of the toothpick will be red!
Oh?
By the way, don't you think kinako sticks and coffee go well together?
That can only mean that Shikada Candy Shop and Cafe Endou are planning a collaboration!
No, that's not...
We've no time to waste!
It's time to taste test the combination of kinako sticks and coffee!
Like I said, we weren't...! Well, whatever.
With that said,
Episode 3: Butamen and Kurukurubo Jelly and...
all of you watching should try it out as well!
