Dear Kindred Spirits, are there any things about each other that you don’t like? If there are, I’d like to know. (They’ll probably just end up flirting with each other at the end, lol)
Sachi: “We don’t have anything like that. Right, Megumi?”
Megumi: “No, we don’t. Right, Sachi-san?”
Sachi & Megumi: “Right~?”
Yuna: (“At the end”? Yeah, right... their whole response was just them flirting!)
Megumi: “Of course it’d end up like that.”
Yuna: “And when did you start being able to read people’s minds?”
Megumi: “I don’t need to, I can already tell that that’s what you’re thinking~”
Sachi: “Fufu... Well then, Yuna-san, could you read our next submission?”

I’d like to know what kinds of tools Yuna uses in the kitchen. I don’t think that she’d be using anything out of the ordinary, but still...
Yuna: “I have all the essentials, more or less.”
Ano: “So a full knife set and everything?”
Yuna: “Well, I do have one, but I mostly just use the santoku and paring knives. Depending on where you’re cooking, your tools might be limited, so I try to stick with the bare essentials and make the most of them.
Ano: “Then what do you want the most for your kitchen right now?”
Yuna: “A large oven. I wouldn’t ask for one as big as the ones they have in the cafeteria, but I’d at least want one that’s as big as the one at your house, Ano.”
Ano: “You’re free to just come over and use it, y’know? I’m sure my mom would be happy to have you over.”
Hina: “You’re roasting meat?”
Ano: “For sure! Hina-chan, you should come over to my place too~”
Hina: “Mm.”
Yuna: “An oven-roasted meat dish, huh...”
Ano: “I’m looking forward to it! Well then, it’s time for the next submission. I’m passing things over to you, broadcasting club!”

I want to know more about Nena! Like, when did she start sleeping so much, or what kinds of clothes does she like, or what kinds of games or manga is she into... I just want to know all about her~
Umi: “A bunch of people sent us this same question!”
Sasa: “She sure is popular. Well, when I first met Nena, she was already sleeping all the time.”
Umi: “From what I saw in her old photo albums, she seemed like she used to be properly awake until around fourth grade.”
Nena: “That’s just because I could actually get enough sleep back then. I’ve been this sleepy all my life. When I was little, I ended up stressing my parents out because of just how much I slept— I’d sleep so much, they’d worry about whether or not I was still alive. So, I guess being like this now counts as me being respectful to them?”
Umi: “I see, that makes sense.”
Sasa: “No, wait, there’s no way in hell that makes sense!”
Umi: “Really? Anyways, we still have questions about... let’s see... her clothes, and...”
Nena: “Time’s up, it’s about time to move on to the next submission~”
Umi: “Ah, too bad! We’ll make sure to ask you next time! Well then, Amishima-senpai, please go ahead.”

I’d like to see what Matsuri and Miyu’s dates are like outside of school. I feel like they’d like going to the aquarium, but what do you think?
Matsuri: “Miyu definitely likes the aquarium. We had a good time, especially with the orca show. Miyu was in awe at all the work that must’ve been put in to teach the orcas those tricks, and because of that, she got all fired up about doing her best for the club. It was really cute. And then, before we left, she went and bought an orca plu—”
Miyu: “Matsuri, you bought a penguin hat too, didn’t you?”
Matsuri: “Urgh... Well, they might leave you with some embarrassing memories, but dates really are fun. I hope we’ll be able to show them off sometime.”
Miyu: “Someday. Well then, it’s time to move on to the next submission.”

When you think of Kindred Spirits, “yuritopia” is the first word that comes to mind, but how did you come up with it? I’d like to know your thoughts about it.
I originally came up with it while I was thinking of catchphrases for Porthole of Sapphism. I was jotting down things that would sound like something Anri would say, and “yuritopia” was one of them.
We’re almost out of space. Akabeko-san, regarding yukata outfits, some of them have been featured in the magazine column. We’ll make sure to show the rest of them off someday, too! Yuritopian the Third-san, let us know which show you’d like to see! We’re thankful to everyone else who submitted something, too.
Well then, this corner is currently accepting submissions! Things that you’d like Peg-san to draw, questions you want answered by the characters, personal fantasies, fanart, etc. are all welcome, so feel free to submit them! We’ll be waiting for your responses. Now then, I’ll leave you with this issue’s final submission. See you next time!

Ano-chan’s so cuwuwute.
Ano: “W-what~?”
