Sutochiru Final Chapter

The time has finally arrived!

Up until now, we've kept on rebelling
against this world's stifling rules!

Speak out to the world!!

We have to show ourselves
for those who fear these rules!

We're gonna show the world!

That we can buy beer.
Why are we showing them something stupid like that!?

We'll show them!!

Hah~
We're trying to buy beer again?

You've tried this before!?

That's right!
Before, we fought against society's rule of "those under the age of 20 can't buy beer",

but it didn't work out, so we were given beer instead.
Heh~ Is that so?

This is our homework!
Yep yep.

The homework that this society keeping us from buying beer has left us!
Pretty sure society would reject that.

Okay, let's go.

This time for sure, I'll make the world
just a little bit softer.

...

Hey, Stella, say something to her.
I've already tried. Several times.

I've reflected on my past failure...

Welcome~

I was too restless.

My unrest made me easily noticeable.

"This cute girl has never bought a beer before."
"This cute girl can't be 20 years old."

As a pro at the register who watches customers every day, he couldn't overlook that about me.

But this time is different!!

I know what I'm carrying this time!!
You wanna know why!? It's because I

have the experience of getting up to "almost buying a beer"!

Wahaha! All that's left is to push the age verification button, right!?
I know! Wahaha! No! I mustn't laugh!

As long as I don't get restless, this'll work!!
Bring it on!!

Age verification bu-
Sorry. You need to be 20 or older to buy this.

By the way, you guys,

you were talking about someday doing a job that combined Stella's drawings with Ozaki's music

or something like that, right? Yuki told me all about it.

It sounds great~ You have my support~
It's still a while off.
Right, Ozaki?
Yeah.

Have you asked Cham to join in on this dream of yours?

Chamcham? Why?

p10

You stupid!? She's the most prone to loneliness out of all of us!
She's such a pain!

Cham's the one who brought all of us together, isn't she?

She'll probably imagine that she's not a part of you guys' future and cry in the middle of the night!
No doubt!

No, there's no way she'd...

...Okay, maybe she would...

Don't worry. I'm gonna marry Senpai, after all.
Not what I meant!

p11

Alright. I'll tell her later.

You're a good kid, Hattori-kun.
Of course I am! I'm the number one maid, after all!
From the bottom.

Honestly, what a pain...
Hah
Stupid convenience store!!
!

You can't sell to those under 20? Why don't you check first!?
Don't decide just like that, moron!
At least let me push the button!

What a pain.

p12

She's crying again.

Um~ So what exactly was different from last time, Cham-san?
I almost had it this time...
Liar.

Chamcham-senpai!

p13

Ozaki...
Avenge me...

Hah

Understood.

I'll do it this time.
I feel like I can do it this time.
I have my guitar this time.

What does a guitar have to do... with buying beer...!?

Don't think about it seriously, Yuki.

p14

Ozaki's gonna play!

But knowing Ozaki-chan, she could probably pull off a miracle, right?

Well, if any of us could pull that off, it'd be Ozaki.

p15

I know Ozaki can do it...!

I feel like it could happen...
it Ozaki-chan's involved...!

Ah!

Thanks a bunch!

Eh!?

p16

She has it! She has something!

How'd it go, Ozaki!?

He said "so you play guitar too, huh?".
Forget the guitar!
Wait, he remembers you!? That explains why you started singing so suddenly!

p17

And then he said I was good at guitar and gave me
this juice.

Juice?

Juice, huh...
Hah~
Haaah~
How frustrating...

No.

That's even more amazing than buying beer.
Yummy.

Okay, next is...

p18

Stella!
Yeah, yeah. Guess I have to go too in the end.

Hey, Stella!
!

Remember, you're the one who's got it together.
You don't have to buy it.
I know already.

Relax! I've got a plan!

p19

A plan?

p20

Non-alcoholic beer.

Non-alcoholic Zero

Just as the name implies, there's no alcohol.
It's just plain old drinking water!!

If I can't buy beer because I'm under 20,
then I should just buy beer that I can buy.

You were naive, Cham. This world is surprisingly

p21

full of loopholes.
Sorry. I can't sell you this, even if it's non-alcoholic.

Ah, she came out.

p22

Cham.
Hm? How'd it go?

Let's make this world
a softer one.

Hey, what are you saying, Stella!?
You're supposed to keep it together! What happened in there!?

Shut up!
You saying that was my fault just now!? Answer me!!
Hyaah! I'm sorry!
I guess she failed.
Yep~

p23

Yuki! You do something to buy some beer!
Yes, sir!

Not to brag or anything, but I do have a lot of money!

If worst comes to worst, I can just buy the whole store!
Are you stupid!?
That's too much manual labor!!

I'm worried about her, so I'm gonna tag along.
Okay~

I heard that anything can be solved with money.
You seem like the most useless one of all.

p24

Ah, that's right. Cham.

Hm?

Me and Ozaki were talking about a job that combines our drawing and music,
but we don't have any story...

You're always coming up with off-the-cuff and erratic stories, right?
You can be in charge of story, Cham.

p25

Sure.

Then it's settled!

Hooray~

p26

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Ah, they're back.
What's up?

I bought a beer!
She bought a beer!

Eh? You bought a beer!

No, I turned it down at the last second!
Hattori-kun turned it down!

She was this close to buying some after being mistaken for a maid doing some shopping!
Nowawawa~

p27

That's the number one maid for you -dabun~
From the bottom -dabun~

So why did you turn it down, Number One Maid-san?

There's no way I could!
Moron!
Don't speak like it's supposed to be obvious.

Thank you, Hattori-kun. You did well to buy it.
I just said I didn't buy it.

We win!
Wah
The party has finally (effectively) bought a beer!

p28

Phew...
With this, the world is a little softer.

If you're able to do whatever you want with your lives like this, the world is probably soft enough already.

p29

Chamcham-senpai! Lunchtime is about to end!

Eh? That's bad!

Hey! That's really bad!!

Let's hurry!
Forget society's rules!
Let's dash!

We need to at least adhere to lunchtime!
So you'll follow that rule!?

p30

I'm starving~

Thank you for your readership and support!!

Honana~!

Warning
