Man, that stuff with Roboko yesterday sure was surprising, huh...
Yeah.
But were those guys okay after that?
Eh~? Whaddaya mean~?

Well then, we're heading home.
S-See you later.
I just went with the flow and saw them off with a "see you later", but...
Roboko-chan's gonna stand out if she walks around looking like that, huh...?

There is a risk of her magic being detected,
but given there's been no fuss so far, we're probably good by this point.
I-I guess so...

Korisu!
Ah?
That thing you're holding is...

It is I.
Roboko~!!

Friends who are always together.

I see...
You were in your doll form at home, so nobody thought it suspicious.
Oh, did you change her clothes?

Amazing~ So you can transform, Roboko~!?
Of course she can! She's a robot, after all!!
I just tried it and it somehow worked.

How did you transform!? Can you do it again!?
Understood.
What's Nemo getting so excited over Roboko for...?
Ahaha

Uwah~
Roboko-chan... huh...

Hey, Korisu-chan.
I'm not sure we can keep calling her Roboko-chan forever...
How about a proper name...?

I see.
You're gonna think it over, huh?

The name's one thing,
but shouldn't we do something about her clothes too?
Yeah~ Those are my gym clothes she's wearing right now~
I stayed up all night repairing Roboko's dress...!
You're getting better with your fingers...

?
You want me to get changed, Korisu-chan?

Here we go.

!!
Mrm.

Okay.
There we go.
W-We're sorry, Korisu-chan!!

Oh~
They're pretty soft.

How about it, Roboko~? How does it feel~?
Hm...

I feel
a little fuzzy.

ABEBEBEBEBE!!

You got it all wrong, Korisu~!
Roboko was able to feel my touch just now, right~!?

That means she's alive~!!
I was just making sure of that~!

Besides, I'm only interested in Utena-chan!!
Kiwi-chan!!
And also~!

Roboko was born from Utena-chan's magic,
Korisu's doll,
and my plastic model... In other words~

She's our child...
K-Kiwi-cha...
The crystallization of our love... Right, Utena-chan...?

Huh?
What an unthankful daughter!!

Hmm.
Still, the more I look at her, Roboko is quite fascinating.

Y-You think so too, Vena-san?
Yes.
She's clearly different from the usual transforming heroine.

You girls' magic can't be detected unless you're transformed, but she's different.
I'm curious about what she was like at Korisu's house.

Hm?
Alright, Korisu-chan.

p10

Okay, the magic's turned off.
Just like that!?

Korisu-chan told me to be careful of my magic when outdoors,
so I tried it and it somehow worked.
You can do anything if you try!!
...Huh?

Roboko-chan.
Those hands...

When I hold back my magic, I become like a normal human.
Hoeh~
She's not a robot anymore...
I see. Very interesting.
Heh...

p11

It looks like she comes with magic obstruction functionality too.
During our fight with the magical girls yesterday, we were the only ones who knew it was her, after all.
Eeh!?
You're so high-spec, Roboko!!
Yeah!!

But with this, we can take it easy~!
Let's take this chance to go hang out somewhere~!
Sounds good! Being stuck in Nachtbase is no fun!

Is that okay with you, Korisu-chan?

Aww, and I was just wanting to look more into Roboko's functions.
Vena-san...

p12

Hey~ Where should we go, Utena-chan~?
It's a weekend evening, so there's a lot of people~

...

Feeling restless, Roboko-chan?

It's all so strange.
It's the same scenery I've seen from Korisu-chan's arms, but somehow different.
It's like the world has grown narrower
yet wider at the same time.

I see...

p13

Korisu-chan.
What is that?

There's a lot of people over there.

Hey, that's that new ice-cream shop, isn't it!?
I've been wanting to try it too~
Oh~?

Let's go eat ice-cream together, Utena-chan~!
Wah! Kiwi-chan...!

Thank you for waiting.
Here's your triple scoop.
Wah~! Thank you very much!

What flavors do you two want?
Erm~ Peach and chocolate mint and mango!
I'll have ramune and vanilla.
Ah.

p14

...Huh?

What are you doing here~!?
That's my line, ya dingus~!!
Cut it out, you two~

Are you guys here to get ice-cream too?
Y-Yeah! That's right!

E-Erm...
And who might this be...?
Ah, hey! What are you doing?

p15

What is this?
It's all sparkly and pretty.
And it smells nice.

You mean my ice-cream?
D-Did you want a bite?
?
What's wrong, Korisu-chan?

I see.
So you choose from here.

Red.
Blue.
Yellow.
There are so many pretty ones that I can't decide.

Ah.
In that case, Korisu-chan, I'll...
Wait, Utena.

p16

That Korisu
wants to do something for Roboko.
Ah... I see...

Fufu
Korisu-san
is like a big sister, huh?
Korisu-chan.
I'll carry you.

Thank you for wait.
Hold it carefully now.

Korisu-chan.
What do I do with this?

p17

Ah~

...

...I see.

p18

...Yes.
This is what you call "eating", isn't it?

It's different from when we play house.
I feel very happy, Korisu-chan.

Korisu-chan.
I want to do something in return.

p19

So, uh...
Seriously, who is this lass?
I know you got a good mood goin' on, but...
Oh right, I didn't introduce her!

Nice to meet you! I'm Hanabishi Haruka! What's your name!?
E-Erm, her name is...!

p20

B-By the way, Haruka!
That's a crazy t-shirt you've got there~!

T... shirt...

Deus Ex Machina

Ehehe! Pretty great, isn't it!
I bought it just now!
Erm... What do those words mean exactly?

...?
It's a Deus! Ex! Machina! kinda vibe, I guess?
Haruka likes to pick clothes with words on them...

Deus ex machina...
It means... a mechanical god.
What are you acting smug for?

Well, it's basically a kind of directing technique...
Nobody was askin'.
She's just like that.

p21

I see.
Korisu-chan.

That is my name, isn't it?

You three.
It's nice to meet you.

My name is...

p22

I know Utena fixed your dress up and all...
but it'd be no fun if that was all you had to wear~

Oh man~! My coordination is super cute, isn't it~!?

No way~ My pick suits her way better!

Nemo! It's mine, right~!?
It's obviously mine!
They're both good, I suppose...

What's your deal!!
That's so like you, Nemo~
Gya~ Gya~
Ahaha... Everyone's really excited...

p23

Um... Korisu-chan.
I wanted... to apologise for yesterday...
I know she became like that in the end, but...

there was still the chance that you
could've lost something precious to you, Korisu-chan...
I'm really... sorry...

Korisu-chan...

p24

This is pretty cute, isn't it~!?
Oh, that certainly suits her.

Korisu~ Utena-chan~! Take a look!

How is it,
you two?

It really suits you,
Makina-chan!

Korisu has obtained a cute little sister<3
