Sixth Grade Camellia Class
An abnormal
Morning comes
My heart throbs as it's pierced with a knife
I want to sleep through
This reality
That I wake up to in my loose pajamas
In wings someone's spread out for me I'm always
Being held tight
The truth is
I want someone to protect me
But...
Definitely
To anyone at all it'd feel good
No doubt
Being an adult that's what it's like
Today starts up when the chime rings
A girlfriend that'll share both her tears and her smiles
I like you, I like you, I like you
Not just yet now
For sure !
I'll want to take my body that's begun to change today
Make it
Much warmer and run through it all
Being completely perfect is just boring
I'd rather be a little broken somewhere
Going forth, going forth, going forth
I'll walk forth
My Sweet Heart, babe...
That's all.
The results of the voting...
...has determined that the class's Alien Counter-Measure Officer...
...will be Otani-san.
No...
No way...
All right. Now then...
...let's write down the names of the people who have been selected as officers...
...and stick them up on the back wall.
For my last year of elementary school...
...I had the worst feeling about what's to come.
Wait a second !
That's no fair, you guys...
You all went and forced it on me 'cause...
...you didn't want to do it yourselves.

Alien Counter-Measure
Officer Otani Yuri
I'm a teensy bit jealous myself, though.
Miyu... !
Well, you would be, wouldn't you ?
You get to skip cleaning and you don't have to do homework...
And when there's an emergency, you even get to skip class, right ?
But...
I'm a teensy bit jealous myself, though.
Miyu, you can only say that because you're not an officer...

This is it...
Alien Counter-Measure Room
Um...
So you've come.
Okay...
...now that you're all here, I'm going to begin the explanation.
I'm in charge of the Alien Counter-Measure officers...
Tomine Kasumi
...and my name is Hisakawa Megumi.
Let's see...
Kawamura Kumi
...starting today...
...you will all be Elementary School Number Nine's Alien Counter-Measure Officers for the whole year.
Otani Yuri
Hisakawa Megumi
Isn't that nice ?
Not at all.
Now then, everyone.
These little ones are called "Bougu."
They're a symbiotic form of alien.
You do know what "symbiotic" means, right ?
Yes...
Unlike a parasite, it's a give-and-take relationship, isn't it ?
Bougu: Symbiotic Alien
Eats waste matter (like dirt) which has built up
in the body.
->
Food
Protection
<-
That's correct.
In other words...
...by putting these little guys on your heads...
...you can have them protect your body from danger.
This is why I don't want to do this...

I don't want to stick an alien on me
Nya !
See ?
Once you get used to it, it's not so bad, is it ?
Ah, that's right.
This Saturday...
...I'll be making a visit to each of your homes.
Please be sure to tell everyone at home, okay ?
Otani-san ?!
Otani-san !
I'm sick of this.
I want to quit school.
I don't want to go anymore.
There's nothing you can do about it. You've been chosen, after all.
But...
No "buts" about it.
All the others are doing it, aren't they ?
You can't be the only one being so selfish.
That's true, but...
It's impossible.
They just went and forced it on me !
There's no use sulking about it.
You...
You can talk...
I'd prefer not to do it here, so how about we talk over a meal ?
A meal ?
Didn't she tell you ?
This is a give-and-take kind of deal.
So...
...why is it you're so against being an officer ?
Because I hate them.
The aliens...
I hate looking at them.
I hate touching them.
I hate talking with them.
I hate being licked by them, too.
Heh, is that so ?
But you know...
...no matter how much you may hate it, Yuri...
...you can't run away from it.
Not anymore.
Because you're an officer now.
Nyaaaa !
Nya !
Spring truly is the season for fragrance, isn't it ?
Mistress Kasumi... ?
Big brother liked it too...
...this fragrance.
An alien has landed on the sports ground.
Until counter-measures are well underway...
...all regular students, please do not leave your classrooms.
I repeat...
Please do not leave your classrooms.
It's disgusting !
Now then...
...off you go !
Nya !
Yes, ma'am !
Nya !
Nya ?
Nyaaaaaaaaaaa !
Kasumi ! Keep it still !
Otani-san !
Are you all right, Otani-san ?
Otani-san !
Otani-san ?
You really had it tough, huh, Yuri ?
I want to quit already, being an Alien Counter-Measure Officer...
I'm not cut out for it.
Yuri...
Is that clear, Otani-san ?
When you go and say you're scared over and over again, then...
...in order to protect you...
...the Bougu will end up killing the alien.
Even if it is an alien, a life is an important thing.
If you don't hurry I'll leave you behind.
Ka...
Kawamura-san.
Wh- what ?
No way.
I... I haven't...
What is it ?
Please, Kawamura-san...
...help me.
No way !
I've stopped being nice...
...to people.
You know...
...ever since first grade, I've always been Class Chairperson.
Class Chairperson is an awful role.
Always meddling in other people's affairs...
...and even being made to take responsibility for others...
All the stuff no one wants...
...to do was left all up to me.
That's why I became an officer...
...so no one could tell me to be Chairperson.
So don't you go relying on me either !
I think you should just go ahead and help her out.

Kumi-chan...
...you're good at that sort of thing.
Kumi ?
I'm going to be getting a little sleep right now...
...so could you wake me in three hours ?
All right. Yes, ma'am.
I think you and Yuri-chan...
...would make a good pair, though.
Don't be saying that.
I wonder if I'm envious... ?
OTANI YURI
Miss...
This girl...
...how's she doing at school ?
She was having a bit of a fuss...
...over having to be some terrible officer for something...
Here at home she can't do anything right...
Jeez, Mom !
I told you not to say anything weird to the teacher !
Don't tell me that...
...if I don't ask your teacher and see, I'll never know, will I ?
KAWAMURA KUMI
It was when this girl was four years old...
...that her father passed away.
Ever since then we've been just one mother and one child...
Perhaps that's why...
...right now, she's so independent, almost so much...
...that it worries me a little.
Ever since I entered elementary school...
...I've been helping my mother... with her work as an author...
Using the word processor...
...searching for raw data...
...and lately, even organizing it all.
So I see.
TOMINE KASUMI
You see...
...ma'am...
...I've made it my policy not to put any restrictions on my children.
I've let this girl do anything...
...she's wanted to do.
On one condition...
One condition, you see... !
...I've made it my policy not to let them stop halfway in the middle once they've started.
Excuse me...
Where might her elder brother be ?
He's studying abroad.
This one's from the time I won at the piano competition...
This one's from the ballet competition...
This one's from the tournament for the robot simulation that came out last week...
What's that photograph ?
It's my...
...older brother.
All right, all right.
Everyone, it'll be fine.
Your big sisters from the Alien Counter-Measure Officers...
...will soon do something about it.
Here now, Yuri !
If you don't hurry, he'll get away !
So you say, but...
You missed.
Oh no ! It's angry !
Yuri... ?
No !
No, no !
No... !
Should I get 'em again this time ?
No, you mustn't.
The teacher will be angry with me again.
I'm scared...
I'm scared !
I'm scared...
I'm scared !
I'm scared...
I'm scared... !
I'm scared !
Kawamura-san...
Kawamura-san !
Jeez...
Kawamura-san...
Yuri, you're too slow !
Nya !
Slacker !
I- I am not !
I was just taking a break.
Ta-da !
I've caught the fifth one.
Amazing...
If we don't hurry up and catch the last one...
...we'll have to stay after school.
Say...
...Kasumi-chan...
...why did you become one of the officers ?
Because I like it !
So, that Tomine-san...
...ran for Counter-Measure Officer herself ?
That's amazing !
Yeah. It's amazing.
Kasumi-chan's pretty...
...she's a proper young lady...
...and she's even really good at skating.
If it were me, I'd never go and push myself even further...
Yeah, you're right...
With grades like she gets...
...you can go to whatever middle school you want...
...without having to become an Alien Counter-Measure Officer...
All right, you there, keep moving !
Sixty centimeters...
Fifty-three centimeters...
Let's see...
146 centimeters !
All right !
I'm five centimeters taller !
That's right, that reminds me !
I think my older sister said that when she was in elementary school...
...a girl from the Alien Counter-Measure Officers suddenly got a lot taller !
Maybe that happens when you stick an alien on you ?
It's a lie, it's a lie, I'm just joking.
Now just a second, stop that.
You're not even an officer !
What's your problem ? I said it was a joke !
Even for a joke, that's cruel !
You know Yuri doesn't like doing it !
You don't need to get so angry, do you ?
If I kept him on forever...
I wonder what would happen...
I'm jealous, though...
Being able to have something like that stuck on you...
No way !
That's no good, Otani-san.
The Bougu...
...is a precious form of life.
Ma'am...
...Otani-san...
...hates the Bougu.
Kumi-chan went to middle school...
Shall I take care of it ?
Right here.
Yuri-chan, I--found--you !
Ka...
Kasumi-chan...
Say...
Say, Kasumi-chan...
Why did you become an officer ?
Nyaaaaaaaaa !
And so ?
What did Kasumi say in reply ?
She said "nya."
I don't mean in your dream, I meant today.
She said it was because she likes it.
Become like Kasumi ?
That's impossible.
Why ?
Kasumi, you see...
...she's got something we don't have.
Something we don't have ?
Try asking her yourself.
Nyaaa !
Kasumi-chan !
Nya... nya...
Kasumi-chan !
Nyaa !
Something I...
...don't have.
Something I don't...
Is it...
Give yourself up !
Is it...
...that you have to like it ?!
Kasumi !
Kasumi-chaaaaaaan !
Fire !
Kasumi !
Kasumi... chan...
A new record !
The sixth one !
Kasumi really is a genius.
That's something we can't do...
...Something like this.
What a lovely sunset.
Everyone's different, that's what it means.
The problem is this girl, huh ?
She's just far too normal.
In order to react to various kinds of trouble...
...she requires a considerable amount of effort.
Now then...
...which girl will be the one this year, I wonder ?
I just can't wait !

You waited for me.

The End
Sometimes
Whether this body
Is happiness
Or sadness
I don't know anymore
Is the other side of the mirror
The truth
Or just light
I don't know anymore
The act of loving
How will you
Make it clear to me ?
"Only by continuing to love can I show myself"
Your back murmurs to me...
I felt as though I was able
To see the real heart
Just a little
Preview of the next episode
