[Story of Galaxy Angel Rune] Hi! It's nice to meet you, this is Apricot Sakuraba. Please call me Rico! We, the Angel Troupe, are working hard to preserve peace in the galaxy!! Anise-san is especially on the edge because she owes money to people. She's amazing, and maybe I should be more like her. But when I see carefree, cat-like Nano-chan sunbathing, I lose that thought... Kahlua-san is continuing to explode her lab with her magical experiments, but I'm still looking forward to the day she succeeds. Oh, and she promised that when she turns into Tequila, she will show me a good way to overcome my fear of men...but it might be something that our captain, Lily-san may get seriously upset for being “against the way.” Anyway, please support us either way!
