They ran away
from a tower
called school
Shortcut
Rapunzels
学校という名の塔から逃げ出したショートカットのラプンツェルたち
Wanting to be a genius
the science kid
built a robot
and named it
after his mother
天才になりたい理系の少年がロボット作り母の名つけた
Melon bread
does not contain
melon juice
Reading a novel
I can’t shed tears
メロンパンメロン果汁は含まない小説読んで涙できない
