Still Too Early for Elementary Schoolers

Ashley
New clothes put me in a cheery mood!
I'd love to make a matching set for Kumanosuke!
---------------------

Ashley
Samui desunee!! Today sure is cold...

Emiri
Haro haro! Come warm up!

Rika
Ah, Ash-chan, those clothes you're wearing...
That's the outfit that won you that contest, isn't it?

Ashley
Hai desu! Did you hear it from Riko?

Rika
You won a special prize in the contest
from the brand that created Kumanosuke, I heard?

Emiri
And then they played with the design a bit and turned it into a product!
That's really something, huh?

Ashley
Arigato!! It made me super stoked too!

Rika
Though Riko-chan got a little lonely.
You never showed her the original design...

Ashley
Oh...
I would've been glad to show Riko too, but...
It's totally a bit too early for her...

Emiri
Like what!? An adult design!?

Ashley
It's more just my personal taste.
Let me see...I would like some paper and a pen.

Emiri
Hyup.

[*Scribble scribble...*]

Ashley
The original design went down like this.

Emiri & Rika
――っ!?

Emiri
GROSS!

Rika
Scary-!

Ashley
And now you know...

Emiri
So Kumanosuke's original design was like... Nomming something?

Ashley
He's eating a rabbit. On the hunt, you know!

Rika
So this is...the rabbit's blood!?

Emiri
A carnivore stuffed animal? You're crazy, Kumanosuke!

Ashley
Chigau! This little guy's not Kumanosuke!
Kumanosuke is an only child that I got from Daddy, you see!

Emiri
Of course! Sorry, sorry.

Rika
Oh, there's some kinda rabbit thing drawn here too.
...Fur?

Ashley
That's what this bear was wearing during his hunt.

Emiri & Rika
…………

Rika
You're saying...it pretends to be a rabbit. And when a rabbit approaches...

Emiri
CHOMP!
...Like that?

Ashley
Hai! Hunt by mimicry!

Rika
Mimicry...

Emiri
All that evolution for nothin'!

Ashley
And this is between you and me, but...
This fur is the parent of the rabbit he's eating now.

Rika
Hol...there's more and more scary scenes all over here...!

Emiri
...There's another bear here, but it's all like ripped to shreds, isn't it?

Ashley
Those are remains from when a rabbit ate him up, you see.

Emiri
Eh-...? Do rabbits eat bears?

Ashley
In this world they eat eeeverything! And bear cotton is their favorite food, yo!

Rika
This world's darker than I could have imagined...

Ashley
This is what Gurokawa Waloli-sensei's world is all about, you see.

Rika
Yep, this is definitely too early for Riko-chan.
If you showed her this, she might start crying...

Ashley
...So I couldn't show her either way.

Emiri
Anywho, it's crazy this design's used for the clothes.

Ashley
It totally is... The pros are killing it!
The design has that guro kawaii vibe!
Next time I'll try to be more mindful about it!

Rika
Then you can show it off to Riko-chan.

Ashley
Sou! I'll do my best, yo!
