Mystérique
Luce Irigaray is a French feminist and psychoanalytic and cultural theorist. She is best known for her works Speculum of the Other Woman and This Sex Which Is Not One.
In Speculum of the Other Woman, Irigaray considers "mystic language and discourse" which she terms La Mystérique — an expression noted as not adequately translatable into a single English word, its meaning encapsulating mysticism, hysteria, mystery and "the femaleness." Irigaray argues that such discourse is a "place" like no other in Western discourse, in which woman "speaks and acts so publicly."
Diamond Game
Diamond Game seems to be what the Japanese call Chinese Checkers. However, I couldn't find anything about how a single-player game would go. I guess it would be something like Peg Solitaire [3]. The box in the anime seems to based on the product by Hanayama Toys (Magnetic King Diamond).

May Sickness
五月病 (GOGATSUBYO, May Sickness, May Disease, May Blues) is a "sickness" that a number Japanese experience every year. April is the beginning of the new school and fiscal years. People are even busier than normal doing taxes, getting kids ready for school (ceremonies, exams, placements and whatnot) and then there's spring, the cherry blossoms, then the week of national holidays; busy again. Come May, they start to slow down back to a normal routine and all of a sudden they feel very unmotivated, lost, hopeless etc. All the goals and dreams they thought of in April are squashed and they get depressed. Spring is ending, and people see that the trees are turning green and summer is already on its way.

Warabi-Mochi
Warabi-Mochi(ワラビ餅)is not true mochi, but a jelly-like confection made from bracken starch and covered or dipped in kinako (sweet toasted soybean flour). It is popular in the summertime, and often sold from trucks, not unlike ice cream trucks in Western countries.
