Hey, Papa...
"I can only be here for five."
By "go," do you mean the number five?
Five days.
Five days?
It's out! The enchantress!
I'm Ai. Hello, Obaa-chan.
O-Obaa-chan... Me?
No!
The secret's out...
Growing girl
And now we begin the Kamiyama family meeting.
Today's topic comes from Mama-san.
Yes.
Who is this child?
Like I said, she was in a basket that was left in front of our house yesterday.
I can't believe that!
That's so awful of you, Samatarou-chan! Since when have you had that kind of relationship with Tenko-chan?
Umm, Mama-san, there must be a misunderstanding.
What misunderstanding?
I trusted Samatarou-chan!
Please listen to what I have to say... I trusted Samatarou-chan!
Please listen to what I have to say...
I don't want to.
I don't remember raising you to become like this!
Like I said, there's a misunderstanding-
Shut up, you worthless child!
Mama-san is heartbroken! Unforgivable. Unforgivable. This is definitely unforgivable!
I'm sorry... Mama-san is heartbroken! Unforgivable. Unforgivable. This is definitely unforgivable!
Ai-chan, it's not your fault!
Please don't be mad at Papa and Mama, Oba-san.
Oba-san - aunt.
Oba-san...
That's wrong. It should be Obaa-chan.
Obaa...
Onee-san.
Onee-san!
What a sweet child; she called me onee-san!
What was your name again? Peromi-chan was it?
Where did Peromi come from...
Samatarou-chan, it's alright, she's now an important member of this family.
It's alright?
It's fine, it's fine, I'll talk to Papa-san. This child was abandoned, right? Sutegozaorusu. Zaorusu, right? TL Note: Sutego means abandoned, and Mama-san makes a pun using Sutego and Stegosaurus, the dinosaur. Zaorusu is also another word for dinosaur.
Mom, not in front of her!
Hey Papa.
What's a sutego?
I-It's a dinosaur! It's big and awesome! And it goes bwaah!
It goes bwaah?
Bwaah! Bwaah! Bwaah! Bwaah! Bwaah!
Onee-san, that has a nice ring to it...
Onee-san!
Isn't it great that everything worked out?
Yeah.
Okay, your hand comes through here.
Yes!
Bwaah!
Oh no, you got dirty.
What is it?
I guess we'll just have to wash it off tonight.
Okay, we're done.
It looks good.
You look cute, Ai.
Bwaah!
Sorry, but I gotta go out for a bit.
I'm going to visit Shinichi in the hospital.
After all, I am partially responsible for his fall from the tree.
I see.
But try to come back soon, because raising her by myself is difficult.
You heard that, bwaah!
Yeah.
Have a safe trip, Papa!
Yeah!
What are you looking at?
You still haven't given up?
It's hopeless.
It's not hopeless!
After you left, we got along quite nicely.
Really?
Alright! I have something I wanted to talk about, "chief commander".
Who are you calling "chief commander"?
I want to become friends with that girl.
First, you'll go up to her and say, "Excuse me, do you know where Kirishima-kun is?"
"That cool, smart, athletic, and attractive Kirishima-kun?"
Then she'll be like, "My, is Kirishima-kun really that wonderful?"
And she'll definitely fall for me.
Wait, wait up "chief commander".
I've had enough!
I'll buy you yakisoba bread afterwards!
And I skipped breakfast today...
The yakisoba bread comes first!
Alright!
Umm, can I have a word?
Do you know where Kirishima-kun is?
That cool, smart, athletic, and attractive Kirishima-kun.
Who is Kirishima-kun?
Uhh, it's Shinichi...
Shinichi?
Could that be the stupid skirt-chaser?
He tried to pick you up?
He did.
He came into my room without permission.
Both last night and this morning.
Got along quite nicely... what a load of crap!
Umm, what are you looking at?
I'm sorry to have bothered you.
I'm waiting.
Waiting? For who?
I know that it's useless to wait...
Useless?
Since she's no longer in this world...
Umm, have I met you somewhere before?
Eh? I feel the same way.
We've met somewhere before.
But, I don't remember.
Yeah, it's mysterious, isn't it? Maybe we met in a dream.
That's not it.
Because in my dreams, the devil always appears.
The devil?
Yeah.
The devil appears as a thin woman with long hair, wearing a red dress.
She beckons to me. "She's not there, so come over here."
While doing that, she says, "Waiting is pointless."
But midway, another girl stops me.
"I'll soon come to you, so please wait."
That's why I can't go to the devil's place.
For some reason, I trust the girl that is telling me to wait.
I'm sorry, this talk about the devil in my dreams must sound stupid to you.
That's not true. A devil appearing isn't weird. After all, there are gods and angels in this world.
W-What?
You're a weird person.
Is that so? Am I weird?
But isn't always holding a pillow also kind of weird?
This is a substitute.
Substitute?
Yeah. I guess I'm weird too.
To be honest, there's nothing wrong with my legs.
But for some reason, I just don't feel like walking.
I've had enough of this world.
Had enough, huh?
I used to feel that way too.
But now, it's not so bad.
What?
In this world... If you actually try to do something by yourself, the world will appear differently.
A lecture?
No, that's not how I meant it.
I'm fine with just waiting.
What's your name?
Kamiyama Samatarou.
Samatarou-kun...
I'm...
You traitor!
Chest attack!
Are you alright?!
Hey, what the heck are you doing?
Sorry, but I thought you were being attacked by an evil and powerful pro wrestler...
If you look closely, isn't that Samatarou?
Wake up, go!
It's not go, it's leave!
Leave? Where to?
Anywhere but here!
I'm telling you to get out of my sight!
Papa is late.
Yeah, he is.
Shinichi must have asked him to do something stupid again.
Shinich is useless!
Yes, yes, he's useless.
Because Ai-chan's Papa has a weakness for yakisoba bread.
In times like these, we have to go rescue him.
Rescue! Bwaah!
Mama, what is it?
Hey, what are you spacing out for?
Useless!
Tenko-chan!
Where is Samatarou?
Samatarou?
I'm glad you asked.
Samatarou is over there!
As you see, they're in complete love-love mode!
W-What the hell, you said you were visiting Shinichi!
Serves you well, Samatarou. Prepare for some pain.
Ah! Dragonfly!
That's good. I was worried when you fell.
He's really not a bad person. It's just that he gets too wild sometimes.
Wild?
Hey, Samatarou-kun, will you come again?
Sure, Shinichi will be in the hospital for a while.
That's not what I meant. Will you come to see me?
You're the first one to ever actually listen to me.
Samatarou, you idiot!!!
Sorry, just a sec.
Wait up, Tenko!
Eat that, Samatarou!
And now, my lucky chance has come!
That's how it is! He has a girlfriend!
Even if he has a girlfriend... That's how it is! He has a girlfriend!
Even if he has a girlfriend...
...he's still wonderful. He's completely different from you.
Wait up!
It's a misunderstanding.
I don't want to hear it, you cheater!
Eh? Cheater? It's not like I'm your lover or boyfriend or anything.
But you're here for Ai-chan, aren't you? Aren't you a father?
That's true, but...
Is that what this is about?
Why did it have to turn out like this?
The Samatarou from before had no interest in human girls.
That's true, but...
You have everything.
You have Mama and Papa, and Misa and Meme.
You have a wonderful family.
But... I don't have anything.
And then you have to cheat on me.
I can't trust you anymore.
I don't have anyone except Samatarou.
Looking after Samatarou means everything to me.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You're family aren't you?
No, I'm an angel!
What does that have to do with anything?!
Everything!
Doesn't!
Does!
Listen here-
W-What is it?
I forgot about Ai-chan!
She's not here. What do we do?
She's still little; she was just a baby yesterday...
She can't tell left from right.
Calm down! Check if she's in Shinichi's room.
I'll go look for her.
Where?
Everywhere.
Where? Where have you gone, Ai?
Samatarou, have you found her?
Not yet. I'll contact you when I find her.
Could she possibly have gone outside?
Hey, you! Have you seen a kindergarten-aged girl around here?
Ah! Papa!
Papa.
Papa!
Papa, welcome back!
Are you Ai?
Yes, Papa.
For real...?
I don't get this at all.
She got bigger while she was asleep last night.
Children grow while sleeping...
But she also grew while she was wide awake today.
Mama... Papa... bwaah...
Mama is here.
Papa's here too.
Isn't she cute?
Yeah.
Do you understand, Ai? It'll be very dangerous if you get lost again.
Don't go outside.
Stay in the house.
Okay, Papa, Mama.
Don't worry. I'm cutting class, so I'll look after her.
We'll leave it to you.
I'd be worried about leaving her with just Mama-san.
Leave it to me.
Well then, we'll see you later, Ai.
Have a safe trip, Papa, Mama.
Have a safe trip.
Have a safe trip!
We're off!
Okay now.
We're going to have a little talk.
Have a talk?
So, do you remember anything from before you came here?
Before?
Right, tell me~!
I don't know much about that...
Do you know why you're growing so quickly?
I'm growing quickly? I don't know much about that, either.
This talk is getting nowhere...
Okay, then let's go look for a clue.
Clue?
Let's go play detective in Samatarou's room.
Papa's room? Let's go! Let's go!
I'll bring something to drink, you go ahead.
Okay!
Detective...
Detective...
Detective...
Oww.
Here! Sorry for the wait-
D-Did you eat something...?
W-What is it?
You've gotten bigger.
Interesting...
Oh? I got bigger?
Yeah, you did.
This is great. It'll be fun...
A school swimsuit would look really good on you.
School swimsuit?
I just thought of something great.
This one is Samatarou's, and this is Tenko's.
Obento?
Yep. Bring them to school for them.
But Mama said that I can't come to the school.
It's fine, it's fine.
You have to go report Papa that you grew.
Do exactly as I've just told you, and follow through with your mission until the end.
Roger! I'll do my best!
Misa-chan, don't push her too hard.
Alright, onee-san.
Oh?
So that's how it is.
I wonder what Ai-chan's doing right now.
Misa-san is looking after her,
but I'm still worried.
Ai-chan!
What?!
Found them! Papa, Mama!
Don't come here!
Papa is waving to me.
Papa!
Papa, Mama...
What the...
I brought the obento; I helped make it.
Here it is, Papa, Mama.
Geez, I can't take this.
T-Thanks, Ai-chan.
Samatarou is a Papa?
Tenko is a Mama?
That girl is around middle school age.
How old is she?
I got bigger again.
It, uh, sure looks like it.
Misa onee-san told me to get a reward from you after I delivered the obento.
Reward?
Yeah. A kiss on the cheek.
Hey, Papa, hurry up.
I-I have no choice.
What the hell was that?!
"What" you say? I just told her to hurry up and show you that she grew again.
And what was with the school swimsuit?!
I had to go through hell in the teachers room today!
I'm sorry I caused trouble for you and Papa again.
No, it's not your fault.
In any case, stop making her to do weird things.
Weird? I thought it suited her.
That's not the issue here.
Samatarou-chin, I found something interesting today.
What?
This.
A photo?
The one from the basket...
This is... Ai!
The girl in the picture is Ai-chan!
Ai, do you remember anything?
In my dream, a girl wearing a red dress...
Dream?
If you met the girl from the hospital, maybe...
Thank you, Papa, Mama.
You're not going to disappear Ai-chan, right?
