Chapter 1: Project White Day!

Dondochakka, are you sure Nel doesn't know you're here?

Nel is in the middle of a game of tag with Bawabawa.

Perfect! Then we shall commence our meeting to discuss plans for our White Day gift!

So, uh, what is this "White Day" about?

It's a day to give gifts in return for what we received on Valentine's Day! We will thank her for the mud balls she gave us!

Ah-hah! So we'll also make something with mud!

You idiot!!!

You've got it all wrong! First, you should know that a return gift should be three times the worth of the original gift!

Triple the amount of mud? That sounds like it'll be a lot of work. But for Nel, I will do it!

Forget the mud! It's about sentiment!

I've heard in the world of the living that conveying your thoughts of appreciation is also a valid gift.

But we always tell her how thankful we are for her. That's no different than usual.

Oh... Y-You may be right. But then, what should we...?

Bawaaa!!!

Aaah?! Why is Bawabawa here?!

Pesche! Dondochakka! Nel finally found you!

Bawabawa! Chase them into the sand!

Bawaaa!!!

Dondochakka! Didn't you say Nel was playing tag with Bawabawa?!

Looks like they changed their game to hide-and-seek!

Hide-and-seek?! But don't you lose the moment you're found in that game?!

Nel's coming for ya!

Gotcha!

I didn't expect I'd really get buried in the sand. I, Pesche, have made the gravest mistake of my life!

Well, it looks like it's my turn to do the seeking!

Pesche! Hey, Pesche! What are we gonna do about White Day?

Ah! I-I got carried away.

What's wrong with you two?

Nel will go play somewhere else if Nel's bothering you.

No, no, no! I would never think my precious sister is a bother, ever!

Isn't that right, Dondochakka?!

He's absolutely correct! Today will be another day of having fun together!

Then it's decided! Let's start our game of eternal tag!
