Citron	Oh! It has been a while since I have been at a resort!
Izumi	Resort?! It’s airport, airport.
Citron	Yes! Airport! Airplanes that I have not seen since I came to Japan!
Muku	Coming to the airport just makes me feel more and more excited…! There’s a lot to look forward to.
	Citron-sama, have you decided on where you’re going to visit?
Citron	Of course I have!
Izumi	Is that so, so you’ve already decided! Where are you going?
Citron	Hm~m, that is a secret!
Muku	Eeh! Being told that it’s a secret has only made me more curious…!
Izumi	I’m curious too…! I can’t really imagine the kind of place Citron-kun would want to go to.
Citron	Really~ Are the two of you really that curious?
Izumi	Yeah!
Muku	I'm curious!
Citron	Then I will heatedly tell only the two of you! You must definitely keep it a secret from everyone else.
Muku	Waah, thank you! Yes, I’ll keep it a secret…!
Izumi	Me too, I won’t tell anyone else! Also, it’s not “heatedly”, but “secretly”.
Citron	Secretly, secretly! The two of you, please listen to me!
Muku	Y-Yes…!
Izumi	Yeah.
Citron	…Fu~~~~!
Muku	Uwaaah?!
Izumi	Hyaah?! —Hey, hold on, Citron-kun?!
Citron	Ahahaha! Sorry! I kind of wanted to try teasing you two!
	This time I will really tell you the secret! I will tell you properly!
	The thing is… I have heard that the legendary weapon is in the country we are going to.
Muku	W-Weapon?!
Citron	Sh—!
Muku	Ah, I-I’m sorry!
Izumi	What do you mean by legendary…?! You’re going to see it?
Citron	Yes! I am going to search for that weapon!
Izumi	Y-You’re going to search for it?! Do you even know exactly what that weapon is?
Citron	It is… the legendary bread that can hammer any nail, no matter how hard, or so it seems.
Muku	A-Amazing! A bread like that…?! By bread, you mean the kind of bread that you can eat, right?!
Izumi	I don’t think edible bread is considered a weapon, though…! Umm, is there any chance you meant to say “frying pan” instead?
Citron	No, no! It’s bread that you can eat!
	hat hard bread was used in a serious battle against the strongest mammoth, you know!
Muku	Uwaah…! Citron-sama, I’ll do whatever I can to help…!
Citron	Oh, Muku, thank you for your support. I will definitely win…!
Izumi	(Citron-kun’s imagination is incredible as ever…! But I’m actually a little curious about this bread that can hammer nails…?)

Kazunari	Haah~~! The trip was absurdly fun, wasn’t it~!
Banri	Yeah. Well, many things happened, but I was still able to go to many shops and do some shopping. It wasn’t that bad.
Citron	Me too! I was able to get what I wanted to get!
Muku	I bought lots of souvenirs too.
Kazunari	That’s right! Hey, let’s show each other what souvenirs we bought! I’m curious to see what everyone bought~!
Muku	Waah, that sounds fun!
Banri	Yeah, it seems like Kazunari bought some pretty cool stuff so I’m curious too. Let’s do it.
Citron	Okay! I will hurry and get my souvenirs from my room!
Kazunari	As expected, Settsua’s really stylish~! This earring is super fashionable, isn’t it?!
Banri	Yeah, I bought that immediately. But the hand cream that Muku bought is pretty good, too.
Muku	Ehehe…! It’s because it has a really nice scent.
Kazunari	Well, it’s Ronron’s turn next!
Citron	Here is what I have! Tada~~!
Banri	…Ah? What’s that. …A club?
Muku	Aah!! Don’t tell me that’s…! The bread that’s called the legendary weapon?!
Citron	That is right!
Banri	Regardless of whether that’s a weapon or bread, you’re really asking for a tsukkomi to respond.
Citron	This is the bread that is the legendary weapon of that country! It is said that it can hammer any nail, no matter how hard.
Kazunari	Seriously?!
Citron	I even got some nails ready. Let us try it out here!
	…Hwa cha—!!
Muku	I-It really is hammering the nail in!!
Kazunari	It’s seriously way too amazing!! Even visually, the impact it gives is huge!!
Banri	I never thought that we’d get to see some bread being used to hammer a nail in when we agreed to show each other our souvenirs, but it’s true that this is amazing.
	But hey, can we eat this bread?
Citron	It is edible! That is right, everyone should eat some before it becomes bad!
Muku	//Chew//…, //gnaw//… ugh…
Kazunari	…It’s really… hard… Somehow, the inside of my mouth has begun to hurt…
Banri	It’s true that it tastes like bread, but my jaw is really tired…
Muku	I-It’s not that it can’t be eaten, but continuing to eat this may not be the best idea…
Citron	The bread that is the legendary weapon is very hard, yes. My jaw is taking part in a very long and intense battle, too…
Banri	Okay, the inside of my mouth is seriously hurting. What’s up with this, it’s not like I can’t eat it, but I can’t bite through it.
Kazunari	Yeah~...
Omi	I'm back.
Izumi	I’m back~. …Huh? Why are all of you holding onto your jaws?
Citron	We are all in the middle of a serious battle. Today we are fighting as a team…
Omi	B-Battle?
Muku	About that, actually——.
Izumi	I see, this is the bread that’s known as the legendary weapon. True, it’s really hard…
Omi	If that’s the case, what about if I tried processing it by cooking it? Something like French toast maybe, there are many ways to eat it.
Izumi	Ahh, it’ll become softer that way! We can use many kinds of toppings too.
Citron	Bench toast! I want to eat that!
Banri	It’s French toast!
Kazunari	As expected of Omimi~!
Omi	Then I’ll make the preparations, so wait for a while.
Izumi	Omi-kun, I’ll help you.
Muku	Citron-sama, that’s great! This way it seems like we’ll be able to eat the bread deliciously!
Citron	Yes! The one who triumphed against the legendary weapon was Omi…!
