Dagashi Kashi 174

dumping

"Whoa~"
"How nostalgic~"

"......"
"I can't tell anything at all."

"......"
"Hm?"

What was in his drawer, was 'that thing', filled with dreams and romanticism. This chapter is a romantic (?) story.

"What are you doing?"

"Wow! A telescope?! That's something nice you have here~!!"
"O-our store was selling them... A long time ago, I got one of the remaining ones from Pops."
"Really~ Dagashi stores seriously sell anything, huh!"

"Hey, is it okay if I take a look?"
"Eh, ah... Yeah. Since it's out..."
"Heh heh heh."

Please take care of both Hajime-san and the anime!

174: Apollo

"Oooooh"

"Amazing...!"
"It's so cloudy I can't make anything out!!"

"Too bad, huh..."
"If we wait for the right moment... Couldn't we maybe see something...?!"
"Even if we did, that thing's a toy, so probably not clearly."

"At the very least, if the moon was out you would be able to see that pretty well."
"Oh! Wonder where's the moon~?"

"Speaking of the moon..."
"The moon landing..."

"The Apollo program... Hoax...!"

"Fufu... Hajime-san, you like... that kinda stuff too, huh...?"
"You too, Kokonotsu-san..."

"Well... There's no way that it's fake."
"I'm here~"
"Even if so, it's fun theorizing about it."
"End-of-year shows discussed a lot of things like this... It was quite fun..."
"Ah~ I get what you mean! There haven't been as many lately."

"But when I first heard about it on TV I really believed it, you know~"
""The direction of the shadow is off!" It was the best."
""The way the flag moved was unnatural!", things like that..."
"I remember that one!"

"Oh, that's right. Speaking of Apollo"

"Apollo Chocolate!"

"Ah! That's the famous one!"
"Fufu, of course you'd know this one."

"Is the Apollo in Apollo Chocolate the same one as the Apollo program?"
"Hmmmm... The explanation for this is a bit complicated..."

"In the first place, Apollo Chocolate supposedly takes it's name from the sun god, 'Apollo'."

"The one from Greek myths...?"
"Was it a Greek myth?"
"Probably..."

"The Apollo program also took it's name from the god, Apollo, as well."
"I thought so too. Because it had the same origin, that's why it had the same name... Or so I thought, but..."

"It turns out that Apollo Chocolate's motif is based on Apollo 11."
"Huh...?!"

"..........Sorry, what...?"
"I-it's hard to get, right? Basically"
"Pop"

"This is the timeline of events."
"Yaaay"
- Apollo program (Based on the sun god, Apollo)
->
- Meiji-san trademarks the name 'Apollo' based on the god, thinking of making it a product
(What sort of product it would be was not yet decided)
->
- Apollo 11 is made with the goal of landing on the moon
->
- Meiji: "Let's make it a dagashi with an Apollo 11 motif!"
->
- Apollo 11 lands successfully on the moon, and becomes a global hot topic
->
- Directly after, Apollo Chocolate starts being sold

".....That's super complicated..."
"Right...?"

"Hmmm, Apollo 11... I wonder if it's the command module."
(...?)

"By the way, kaki-pi was apparently recognized as a space food recently."
"Huh! That's pretty cool."
TN: Kaki-pi are a type of senbei, eaten as a snack

"Maybe one day we'd be able to eat Apollo Chocolates in space."
"If it ever comes about... I'd be a bit happy~..."

"Ah, Hajime-san, over there."
"Hm?"

"Whoa..."
"It's come out finally!"

"Oooooooh~...!"
"Amazing..."

"The moon is beautiful."
"Right...?"

(Nah... No, no, no way... He can't possibly mean it in that way...!)
"Ah, it got cloudy again."
TN: 'The Moon is Beautiful' is a famous Japanese way of saying 'I love you', devised by novelist Souseki Natsume

"It's cold, so let's go inside."
(No way... There's no way...)
"Hajime-san? Heeey."

"Right, I'll probably work on my manuscript a bit then go to bed."
"Ah, then is it alright if I help out a bit too?"

"I won't go as far as to draw the whole thing."
Since you probably want to do as much as possible yourself.
"Oof... Thanks for telling me your true thoughts..."

Souseki-sensei left behind quite a sinful saying. It would be nice if Apollo Chocolates reached the moon one day.

Missing 3rd panel scribble I think.

Thanks OP. Hajime is cute, I could easily root for her if Hotaru wasn't so amazing.

Comfy chapter. Thanks for the dump OP.

Oh yeah it is. Says something about drawing.

frick please no romance in my comfy SOL

Too late but it's not a major focus though.

Why is she holding the umbrella like that?

maybe her butt hurts

>I can't draw...

Coconut having good skills 174 chapters in.

is that a skirt

is this the first and only pantsu we're getting

Finally, romance between these two. Fuck the diabetic titty monster. Picked up

Is there a character that could even possibly EVEN TOUCH Hotaru Shidare? Let alone defeat her. And I’m not talking about Daga Shikashi Shidare Hotaru. I’m not talking about Dagashi Kashi Shidare Hotaru either. Hell, I’m not even talking about Dagashi Kashi: Mō Hitotsu no Natsu Yasumi Shidare Hotaru with the Dagashi Rinnegan doujutsu (with the Ramune abilities and being capable of both Umaibō and Kinako-bou techniques), equipped with her Fugashi, a box of Glico, and Super Himo Q nunchucks, with Pocchi-kun’s DNA implanted in her so she has Spicy Potato Fries and can perform Young Donuts compartment summoning while being an expert in Menko and Ohajiki.

Would've included it in the subject, but I wasn't completely sure if it would be finished.

You should've read the entire thing before asking such questions user.

Thanks. It's cute how Hotaru always builds Kokonotsu up.

Yeah sorry, my bad.

user are you ok? it sounds like you were having a stroke.

nice
nice

Can someone remind me who Hajime is?

...

Coconuts assistant and future wife and mother of his children

Hajime is an office lady Kokonotsu took on to watch the shop for him because he was back in school, and his father was recovering from a broken leg. He did so after Beniyutaka (Hotaru's brother) recommended her services to him and she's apparently working for them for room and board rather than money.

>>the moon is beautiful is a well known Japanese literature equivalent of "I love you"
Do they have a similar code word for " you owe me money"?

...She sounds kinda sad if that's what she's doing. Couldn't find a better job?

I wouldn't know the details. user mentioned in a prior thread that apparently that's the arrangement since the dagashiya doesn't make much money in the first place.

Thanks again for the chapter uploads. Have you watched the anime yet?

I myself didn't. Dunno if I will.

...

She was fired from her previous job at hotaru's brother's fanily mart, but it's pretty stupid that she doesnt get paid

>oof
kek

Ah, so she's a cute dumb neet.

I swear this main character guy reminds me of Double D for some reason.

>She was fired from her previous job at hotaru's brother's fanily mart, but it's pretty stupid that she doesnt get paid

she's banking on the interest from her investment in the coconut sperm bank

>working for them for room and board rather than money
People don't understand the value of retirement payments or health insurance, do they?

How can Hajime be such a total christmas cake at 20
