The sweetness of February melts away the winter chill in Metropolis: Desserts! Hot drinks! Chocolates!

The season of La Dolce Vita has arrived. Tarara and Pururu received an invitation from Metropolis' most popular Maid Cafe and changed into custom-made costumes, lovingly prepared by the shop manager for their special visit. Snow-white laces, lovely bows, and a frilly bubble skirt, no one can resist the charm of an adorable maid presenting her Honmei choco, right?

The cafe was soon bustling with people eager to witness the grace of this energetic new staff; it was nearly impossible to move! Pururu, in a moment of inspiration, called upon his robotic friend S-17 for urgent help. S-17 arrived with Cookie, her adorable kitten, who stepped in to become the shop's mascot for the moment.
