Kogasa is lucky!!
........huh?

Well, Ran sure is a bro.

6 ticket? including Kogasa and Chen, and maybe Sanae, I wonder who else the other 3, those kappas?

Chen can get some protection from Yukari. Yuyuko might be there as well.

Speaking of people, friend!Nazrin haven't show up for a while, huh

Neither does Flan or Remilia nor Momiji.

Flan and Remi are Mizuki's relatives, so maybe they'll tag along - if they live close enough, that is.

And so begins the Tokyo Sky Tree story.

Yet even as I say that, it's not as if anything funny happened, so it looks like it'll end in just a few strips. (^^;)

Reader-added tags include: "It wasn't botamochi on the shelf, but a ticket from Ran", "Who the heck are Ran-shama and Yuyu-sama" and "What about the remaining 3 people and the weather!?"

The poll asks about similar gifts:

I'd be delighted to have a ticket for:
• S-seats at a concert
• Pop-idol meet 'n' greet
• Non-expiring ride on the 999
• Comic Market circle admission
• Being stepped on by Yuuka-san

There are apparently four standard levels of concert seat ticket: B, A, S, and SS, in descending order of distance from the stage. (Sometimes SS-class is omitted.)

An S-seat would probably be nice, especially for the pillows.

Six tickets for the Koubu Railway Stockholder's reception...

Who exactly is Ran-shama?!

Are we sure Remilia and Flandre are Mizuki's kin? The sense I got was more along the lines of Remilia being a college/university classmate/roommate of Mizuki's.

Can't remember clearly, but for some reason I'm fairly sure they are relatives, maybe distant ones. Kogasa already has the whole Karakasa family though, so I'm not sure.

Just saying, but that was an excellent translation of the pun.

• Non-expiring ride on the 999

Oh that would be interesting.

Wow, Kogasa-san sure caught a lucky break. I'm sure there won't be any problems with having Chen along for the ride, and she can bring in four other people (hopefully Sanae-san will be able to make it). I wonder who Koagasa-san will bring? Maybe Marisa-san and Reimu-san will return? Would be nice to see Nazrin-san come back, too.

For the poll, non-expiring ride on the 999 sounds like a lot of fun (though getting stepped on by Yuka-san is tempting).

For a note, for some reasons public companies in Japan tend to give to their shareholders some "goodies." Let's say, Aeon, the largest retailer in Japan, gives shareholders a nearly unconditional 3-7% discount.

For the poll.
A ticket to be stepped on by Yuuka-san.
Which I would then sell to Fannon-Tenshi.
I'd be rich with historic artifacts.
Though, being stepped on (lightly, for play) isn't too bad.
It can hurt later though.

Appreciate you saying so. I wasn't especially satisfied with it, but I couldn't think of anything better right off for an equivalently mangled metaphor.

Don't forget Kogasa-san's friend Aya.

Dude, no. Chen will be there, remember?
