もっちりっぷ : ご覧あそばせ。新しいあたいのパートナーですの。

ぽぷらの苗 : わ～可愛い。ちょこまかちょこまか歩くんだね。え？何、君喋れるの？

もっちりっぷ : 可愛いだけでなく、助けてもくれる素敵なコ。いろいろな顔をもってるから毎日楽しいの。あれ？この前のぽぷらの苗どんのお連れ様は？カップラーメン切れ？

ぽぷらの苗 : そうなんだよ～。カップラーメン食べすぎも良くないからあげてなかったら帰っちゃったのかな。ところでオダ軍の忍びの日誌なるものを見つけちゃったのだけど、どうしよ～～。

もっちりっぷ : なになに？忍びの日誌なんていかにもあやしい…。オダ軍の秘密とか書かれているのでは？き、気になる～。ぱらっと拝見しちゃう？

ぽぷらの苗 : ダメだよ！気になるけど・・・オダ軍に目つけられたら怖いよう。見つかってモリランマルの所に連れて行かれちゃうかもよ！

もっちりっぷ : すまぬ。危うくぽぷらの苗どんも危険にさらすとこだった。けど、美形で有名なランマル、あのお方は一度お目にかかりたいな。遠征隊組んでちらっと行ってみないかい？

ぽぷらの苗 : いいね！行こう行こう！でもその前に装備を整えなきゃ。う～～ん、この装備強いけど、外見が好みじゃなくて使いにくいんだよね。こっちの装備は気にいってるけど弱いしなあ・・・。

ぽぷらの苗 ： Oh summer…、暑いなぁ～～。

もっちりっぷ ： お疲れサマー！見るからに暑そうだね。そんな隙がない格好して…どうしたんだい？

ぽぷらの苗 ： ふふふ、メイプルはまさに戦国時代！それ相応の格好はしておこうと思ってさ☆。

もっちりっぷ ： なるほど。世は戦国、巷ではこういうのが流行っているのだな。そういえば、最近知り合った子も同じような格好だったなぁ。

ぽぷらの苗 ： おお、今回の主人公「剣斗」君ですね。きっとこの格好も、彼が着ればとてもに合っていたんだろうね。あ、そういえば何か気付かない？。

もっちりっぷ ： あ！レディのイメチェンに気付かないとは…。かたじけない。お似合いだよ！あたいも暑いし、さっぱりしたいな。そうそう、久々にペットも連れて行こうかな。

ぽぷらの苗 ： でしょでしょ、このツインテール、リボンがうさぎなんだよ！チャームポイントだよ。ペットかぁ、それなら、この子をお勧めするよ！

もっちりっぷ ： 可愛い～メガネなんかかけちゃって、洒落てるね～。このコを連れてことにするよ。…茶釜になんて化けてしまわないだろうね～？

ぽぷらの苗 ： 茶釜には化けないけど、カップラーメンには化けるかもね？ところで、ここでこぼれ話を一つ。ねぇ、ねぇ知ってる？剣斗君はスキル発動時に結構しゃべるんだよ。

もっちりっぷ ： カ、カップラーメン!???今時のはそうなんか。。そういえば剣斗殿に「怪我するぜ」なんて言われた。くぅ、しびれる～

The MapleStory Japan official twitter just tweeted a link to an interview with more Sengoku update information, as well as some new Kanna screen shots we haven’t seen yet.
