p1
>>Fujiyama, living on a budget of 30 yen...

>Hah~...
>I'm in a pinch...
>I'm really feeling those simping fees...

>Everything will be resolved once I defeat that magical girl!
>Let's do this!!
>Bring down the magical
>GUH

p2
>Safe...!
>She almost found out I was plotting something...!!

>I need to move more carefully!!

>A backpack... So she really does stay transformed all the time, huh?
>I guess she's on the way home from school.

>>An evil general in her thirties
>>peeking at a little girl from the bushes.

p3
>But where is she going...?
>Her apartment is in the other direction...

>Cram school? A friend's house?
>Or maybe...

>a secret training spot...!?
>>Fighting a bear bare-handed
>>Sending a snake into submission

>I have no choice but to tail her...!!

>Today's the day I grasp it!
>The key to escaping my financial situation!!

p4
>Good afternoon, Magical Girl.
>Good afternoon.

>She greets people properly. Good girl.
>Does she go on patrol daily?
>Gotta take notes.

>Mamu-chan, thanks for your help the other day.
>Not at all.

>Look, Mama! A magical girl!
>Mamu-chan sure is cute~

>She's really popular...!
>As you'd expect from a magical girl...

p5
>Big sis!!! Good work today!!!
>Big sis!!?

>Please stop calling me that.
>Understood, big sis!!!
>...

>They're calling a grade schooler "big sis"...!!!
>Just how famous is she!?

>I've already seen a new side of her!
>What will she show me nex-...

>Ugh!?

>Gweh!

p6
>Eh? What...?
>Is she stuck...?
>Are you okay, Miss?

>I'll definitely make this tail operation succeed...!!

>No suspicious movements so far...

>Two taiyaki, please.
>The magical girl is buying snacks... Naughty girl!

>Kh...
>I'd have bought one too if I had any money...

p7
>Ah. I dropped it.

>Eh? Is that real!?
>That's real, right!? The real thing...!!!
>Hawawa
>Is Mamu-chan's family loaded...!?

>That's a lot of money! I'm so jealous.
>Mama's a worrywart, so she makes me carry this around...

>I can't just spend it, though.
>Magical girls have an ironclad rule that says "a grade schooler's allowance
>should be under 1000 yen a month".
>That's so little!!!

p8
>Doesn't that defeat the point of carrying around a wad of cash!?
>Mamu-Mama sounds crazy in more ways than one...

>>Arcade Land

>Hitting the arcade after school...
>She's becoming even naughtier!

>I hope I get some worthwhile intel soon...

>That's...

>The limited edition Chinfuwa-chan!!!

p9
>That stance is...!!?

>There's no doubt about it...
>Mamu-chan's a pro!!!

>She got it!! Look at that strength!!

>It's like a bird of prey catching a small animal...
>Survival of the fittest...

p10
>The arm is so weak!!!

>Even a magical girl can't win with an arm that weak...
>She'd better give up...

>No hesitation!!!

p11
>Is Mamu-chan perhaps starting to get irritated...!?

>According to her ironclad rule, she can only spend up to 1000 yen.
>The taiyaki she bought earlier cost 300 yen, so...
>>Chinfuwa-chan Plush - Crane Game, [6 checks]

>This is her last chance!!

>She caught it!!
>But the real battle starts here...

>Okay!!
>The arm isn't loosening!!
>Chinfuwa-chan is as good as hers!!

p12
>Oh dear.

>It got snagged by the tag,
>but she should be able to ask a store clerk to take it off for her.
>Congratulations, Mamu-chan!

>...

>...

>I know that feeling...!
>It's hard to speak up when the store's so busy, isn't it?
>Yep yep.

>Surprisingly enough...
>Mamu-chan might just be a normal girl...

p13
>Eh? No way, she's giving up!?

>...
>Guess I've got no choice.

>As a fellow Chinfuwa-chan lover,
>I'll get it for you in a snap!!

>The clerks are still busy,
>and if I move elsewhere, someone else might win it...

>...

>Sorry you had to go all the way to the second floor.
>It's fine.

>Over there.
>Uwah!?

p14
>M-
>Miss!?

>I'm sorry~
>The prize got caught on the arm
>and I got stuck trying to retrieve it...
>Eeh!?

>I'm sorry. This lady is my friend.
>I think she was trying to get it for me.
>Eeh...?

>Please call for a member of staff at times like these. (Staff)
>I'm shorry~

p15
>My tail operation was a failure...
>I really embarrassed myself there.
>Once again, it's been a rough day...

>Thank you for letting me borrow your microwave.
>It's fine...

>Eh...?

>Please cheer up.
>I bought these taiyaki
>because I wanted to eat them with you, neighbor.

p16
>This...
>was my share...!?

>Thank you, Mamu-chan~~~!!!
>It's delicious~~~!!!
>I'm glad you like it.

>Um.
>Thank you for getting Chinfuwa for me.
>No, that was...
>I should've just asked the store clerk.
>It still made me happy.

p17
>I'll treasure this forever.

>What a hnngel!

>A double cute punch from both Chinfuwa-chan and Mamu-chan!
>I'm being purified~!!!

>Fujiyama managed to endure it,
>but the purification effect changed the taiyaki filling into white bean jam.

>>Good job on your first tail operation♪
