Taking advantage of the Final Exams (meaning there are no regular classes), Malva spent the afternoon at Hibarigaoka Elementary School. She joined two classes - one in the 1st grade and the other in the 5th grade - and took part in their English classes with Mr. Burnes and Ms. Ukon.

At first, the children were rather quiet (though they were bursting with curiosity inside!).

Gradually they get closer,

and closer,

until they became really close.

"Maru-chan, come back soon." "Of course!"
