I didn't watch Aqua much, but she always got along well with those that I did (e.g. Pekora), so it sucks to see her go. The strength of a Vtuber company/corp is in its people's bonds - indies may have more freedom, but they can't easily find other talented comedians or entertainers to regularly collab with.
These bonds forged can't be easily broken, but neither can they be easily forged... and one wonders where Aqua will go after this.

Jokes aside, it can't be easy bearing the weight of "top Vtuber" on her tiny shoulders. Everyone has different ways of dealing with that immense pressure, and maybe keeping her "smol streamer that's happy to entertain a few fans" mindset is one way of coping with that.
Before you attempt to bite into the Coronet… be sure you're okay with the Korone biting back into you.
TL notes:
The original text for the "Freshly-made coronet" is "できたてこぉね". Coronet is the name of the cone-shaped pastry Korone is shown in. However, "dekita" can also be used as an expression when someone has reached or accomplished something (e.g. "I've done it!" or "I've reached!"), so in the context of this image, it's possible for the phrase to also be read as "Korone did it!" or "Korone reached!" (since she appears to be crawling towards the reader and Korone sounds similar to Coronet).
If the original text (こぉね) is read as having a double meaning to Korone, it would be more accurately transliterated as "Koone" rather than "Korone", perhaps because it is spelled in a "cute baby-talk" manner.
Artist Commentary: None.

This explanation is based on the brief summary of the children's game here, so feel free to correct any inaccuracies. The phrase Pekora is saying is a way of counting to ten in the children's game "Statues", as the sentence "Daruma-san ga koronda" has exactly ten syllables (Da-ru-ma-sa-n-ga-ko-ro-n-da). The game is similar to "Red Light, Green Light" whereby other players can't move when it's Red Light, and the goal of the players is to accomplish an objective (crossing to an area, tagging the Caller, etc.) without being caught by the Caller that calls out when players are allowed to move or not.
In the Japanese variation of this game, if a player is caught by the Caller, they have to hold hands with the Caller. Pekora's just finished counting to ten in the first panel, and Marine's run up to
Original text for first panel's top right was "よちよち" (yochi yochi) which seems to be onomatopoeia for babies tottering (walking unsteadily) around, but given the context of headpats it seems like a cuter version of "yoshi yoshi" which is sort of baby-talk when headpatting someone (among other uses).
Translation for first panel's left text was placed at the bottom right rather than in a new text box due to the awkward placement of the text box that would've been created.
