Dagashi Kashi (だがしかし)

Kokonotsu... You were right. It seems my idea was indeed mistaken.

Yes?

Do you know what happens to cakes when you fail to sell them regularly?

They went bad, huh?

Yes... It was quite sad to see.

The Special Sweets corner...!

"Whole Cakes - 3,500 yen each (plus tax)"

So I switched over to a made-to-order system.

What?

I guess even in a remote town like this, there is a demand!

They're selling quite well!

O-Okay...

Customers can order them at the store, on the phone, or via the Internets, so...!

Thanks for coming!

The Internets, huh?

Let's see... This one goes...

Welcome back, Manager.

The Internets... The Nets...

The Inter... The Inter...

The Internets, huh?

Ah!

The Internets!

Ah!

Oh? Did you just hide something?

Um... I was writing in my diary.

Oh... I'm sorry.

Anyway, listen! We'll use Internets shopping, too!

Um... Are you going to buy manga or something?

My honey!

That sugar feeling, sugar feeling, when I take a bite

That sugar feeling, sugar feeling flows into me

The crackling sparkle is giving me a sugar rush

I'm stuffed... I can't... but I'm hungry for more!

A scent drifts into the air...

Could it be you?

With those footsteps that sound like a colorful and full candy box shaking

I feel like I can reach that cotton candy in the sky, but it's no good

Don't melt away! Don't disappear! I want to tell you my feelings!

You're hungry?

My honey!

That sugar feeling, sugar feeling

The first bite was full of mystery

That sugar feeling, sugar feeling

The second bite got me hopelessly addicted

That sugar feeling, sugar feeling

The more I chew, the deeper the flavor

That sugar feeling, sugar feeling

Before I knew it, I was completely crazy about you

I'm stuffed... I can't... but I'm hungry for more!

I see...

So you wanna sell dagashi and toys on the Internet, huh?

I suppose pretty much every business should be online these days.

Right?! So in order to do that, I'd like to start by creating a website for our shop!

So, as a first step, I created a draft site.

What, already?!

"Website for Shikada Dagashi" "Content / Contact us"

A-Awesome... You're great at the Internets!

Hypertext Markup Language.

I learned it in gloomy compulsory education.

So this is the famous HTML.

The site's pretty boring right now, so...

"Content"

Whoa!

That sparkling thing is following the mouse as it moves around...

That's so nostalgic!

This is...

...JavaScript!

So this is the famous JavaScript!

This is incredible... You can do anything with computers!

This is civilization!

Shall we try putting in something? Let's see, for example...

What would be our selling point?

Selling point... Selling point... Err...

W-We sell dagashi!

Yes, we do.

"We sell dagashi"

Too much...! It's too much!

The text! The text is endlessly scrolling sideways!

"Website for Shikada Dagashi" "Content / Contact us" "We sell dagashi"

And we do this and...

"We sell dagashi"

They're... They're shining like crazy!

It's pushing hard that we sell dagashi even though it's obvious we do!

Yeah, we run a dagashi shop! It even says Shikada Dagashi!

I'm really starting to have fun.

Same here!

Oh, yeah...

"Standby"

Yeah. Like that.

Say cheese!

So we import this picture and put it on the top page.

"We sell dagashi"

"I'm the (temporary) manager"

Wh-Why?!

I made sure to put a black bar over your eyes.

And then, if I just do this...

"I'm the (temporary) manager"

Too many! Too many of me!

Oh, yeah. Since we're doing this, I might as well put mine up, too.

Adding a black bar is a pain, so I'll use my hand.

And, we'll say that we can deliver dagashi.

What else should we put in?

Something like the nostalgic appeal of dagashi shops...

Maybe we should try pushing that angle?

Good idea! That lazy-day feeling, huh?

Let's see... Okay!

"Shikada' employee" "Hajime" "(20 years old)"

"We offer simple pleasures..."

"Shikada' employee" "Hajime" "(20 years old) "We offer simple pleasures..."

Well... Err...

Yeah...

But we're just trying to advertise the shop, so...

Yeah.

Ah! Also, we sell toys, too!

Oh, yeah!

We have to put that... in.

"We've got toys, too..."

And...

"We've got toys, too... / We deliver"

...we also put that we deliver dagashi.

"We've got toys, too... / We deliver" "We offer simple pleasures..."

"We've got toys, too... / We deliver" "We offer simple pleasures..." "Shikada' employee" "Hajime" "(20 years old)"
