Oh, I see it. Damn that's far ahead of the scanlations.

Don't worry we're almost halfway

Somehow the manga gives off a low key depressive vibe.
Whats with that? Is candyslut gonna ntr him?

a bit late TL by s07

On a random day, what Kokonotsu discovered was...

158th Sweet: Glass Ramune Bottle

"Oh my? That is quite the valuable thing you have sitting here."
"It's a fully glass-made ramune bottle! And it is quite old too!"

"Ufufu! This is amazing! This is something that is extremely limited in number nowadays, the 'returnable bottle'!"
"You finish drinking it, then it is 'collected', and 'cleaned', then the drink is refilled and sent out once again - the old system!"
"Nowadays it is loved among dagashi fans as a rare good!"

"That said, even though returnable bottles must be collected and returned, yet the maniacs just leave it in their homes..."
"It's precisely because they are so loved and kept privately that the number of returnable bottles keep decreasing... Quite the sad story."

"That ramune bottle,"
"Where is it from?!"
"I ask this while harboring these complicated feelings!!"
"......"

"It was dumped there, you see."
"By the riverside."

"That's right... It's a 'returnable bottles', meant to be sent and returned and reused, yet"
"It was just lying around there."

"We haven't been selling those types since quite a while back, so maybe it was thrown away a long time ago,"
"And while I know that saying anything right now won't change anything"

"It's because of people like you"
"That there are less bottles, that is less ramune can be sold, you know?!!"

"...is what I'd like to say to the person who threw this away..."
"It's rare to see you this mad..."

"But, to a certain extent, this probably cannot be helped."

"....... Eh?"

"I mean, pretty much most stores that sell ramune have cases for returning bottles, so I'd hope people use them."
"However, while we know this fact like it's obvious"

"Quite a few people do not know about these."
"About the returnable bottles."
"And the fact that you can return them."

"When you are faced with people who don't know the facts, you should not blame them."
"You should teach them."

"Kokonotsu-kun, it is something we must do."
"Speak, tell, and explain about the returnable bottles."
"We are the only ones who can expand this world of dagashi."

U...
Ooh...
I can't retort at all!!!

"I've caught the gist of it..."
"Ah, Pops."
"You-san"

"Kokonotsu, and Hotaru-chan, there is something I must tell you... as a person of this day and age..."
"What is it? You look so serious..."

"It's the truth that past bottles are popular with the mania today, and collect them without returning them, but"
"In the first place, there is a story about why the number of bottles decreased."

"It became popular among kids to 'break the ramune bottle' to play."
"What?!"

"What kind of playing is that? Putting aside not being to return the bottles, that's straight up dangerous, right?! Why was that popular?!"
"......"

"We wanted them..."

"...What? What did you say?"

"We waanted them..."
"The glass beads inside the bottle...!!"

"So you broke them!!"
"I see... True, I have heard of this before... That the ramune bottle beads were rare..."

"There was a saying that ramune beads were A-class beads, while the normal ones were B-ds... But our words for beads, 'bii-dama' comes from 'vidro', so it had nothing to do with the alphabet..."
"What kind of story is that?! Although it's true there was that rumor!"

"Still, to think that Pops was one of the people who led to the downfall of ramune bottles..."
"I'm sorry... That's why in order to repay my debt to dagashi I will have my son take over..."
"Wait, that's unrelated you know."

"That's right! Because Kokonotsu-kun is coming to my company!"
"Wait that's wrong too you know?!"

"While it is true that breaking the bottles or throwing them away is nothing to boast about,"
"That is what led to the change to disposable bottles, which were able to adapt to the times and live on."

"Hotaru-chan..."

"Dagashi may perhaps disappear, or it could change form and remain. That is precisely why"
"At the very least we should continue buying them while they are around, with thanks."
"I would like one, please."

"Kokonotsu-kun, You-san, would you like to drink together?"
"......Sure."
"I will go call Hajime-chan too!"
Since she's sleeping

it was always like this

Keep up the good work.
