Over here !!
Good morning, Ryu !
Good morning, Yoshimi. This is my sis, Atsuko.
Just call me Nuku-Nuku. Nice to meet you.
Okay, I'll call you Nuku-Nuku then. I'm Yoshimi Kagewara. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you !
Oh, by the way, dad's busy working...so we can't go by car...
It's hot !
Guess we'll go by train then.
Nah, leave it to me.
Yeah, let's go with this.
But this... is...a bicycle ?
Yup !
But even by train it takes 3 hours...
Nah, it's okay ! We'll get there faster than by train won't we ?
Yup !
Can't be...
ALL-PURPOSE CULTURAL
CAT GIRL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Close in on the secret, it's like a hysterical puzzle,
Dance around and clap your hands, starting from today,
My body is so strange, please don't turn your eyes away,
A humorous process has just begun.
As the wind blows, my hair flows, everything seems so radiant.
Every time we meet, it's Happy Birthday !
With my brand new body, I wave my hands.
An angel is smiling, Happy Birthday !
I want to meet you soon, you carefree you.
KYUSAKU !!!
Standby, okay ?
Okay, okay ! Yoshimi, okay ?
Yeah, but is it really okay ?
No problem, no problem ! Nuku-Nuku, take off, okay !
Roger.
Nuku-Nuku, taking off !!
...What's going on...
Strange...I don't remember putting a program like this together...
...I'm totally against his going to the beach !!
Are you listening !? I said I'm against it !
LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING !!
Yes.
Letting Ryunosuke go to the beach... I won't let you get away with it !
How did you know... ?
I know everything that goes on with him !
Remember this: The beach has germs that can cause bladder stones...
...inflammation, peritonitis, and so on floating ALL over the place !
The sun's UV rays are pouring down, just asking to cause skin cancer !
Plus, all the cans, bottles, glass, and stuff are a severe hazard !
To let him go to such a dangerous place shows that you don't know enough to be a parent !
You incompetent father ! I can't trust Ryunosuke to a beast like you with no heart.
Your over-protective treatment is what will ruin the boys health !
Is there something wrong with swimming in the ocean ?!
``Have fun, and be fun !'' That's my theory about the matter !
So just what do you plan to do if something happens to Ryunosuke ?
Nothing's going to happen. Nuku-Nuku is with them.
You can't count on a robot !
My creation is perfect !
He'll get hurt for sure !
No he won't !
If he does, I'll hold you responsible !
That's fine with me !
Oh, is that right ? In that case let's wait and see what happens at the beach.
And if that child gets even a scratch, he becomes mine to raise !
Huh...um...
That's the rules.
We're not talking about the same...
You did it, Madam Akiko !
Now Ryunosuke will return to us right ?
Why ?
Huh...um, because we'll go to the beach...
...and sneak up on him with a thorn or something, and then just prick him...
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ?!
Yes, so with a thorn or something...
Are you thinking of harming my son ?!
Oh, well, you weren't planning that when you made that promise ?
I wouldn't do something like that to him ! You've gotten me worried.
Get the car ready, HURRY ! I hear ``bonus'' ringing !
Y...Yes Ma'am !~~~~~~~~~\C1Y...Yes Ma'am !
Contact !!
Is this right, Ryunosuke ?
Let's see... is this right Yoshimi ?
Huh ? Oh, yeah yeah...
Alright, that's cool ! Well ? We got here pretty fast, eh ?
Yeah, but it feels like I rode a Roller Coaster for 2 hours...
Excuse me !!
Uncle Shinjyo, it's Yoshimi !
Oh, they're here. Yes, yes...
Hello, welco...
Thanks for inviting us !
Huh, yeah...
Umm, Uncle Shinjyo...?
Yeah hold on ! Be there in a second ! Be right there ! In a minute, wait for me !
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Allow me to be your guide.
Wow !! The ocean ! This is the first time I've seen it !
You can catch fish over there.
That's great, I'm gonna catch lots of fish !
Do you like fish ?
Yeah, but catching it will be a first for me...
...but I've caught quite a few mice and bugs before though...
You jerk ! That's mean !
Sorry, sorry...
I'm sorry !
I swallowed some...
It's great how innocent kids are, isn't it ?
Yeah...
But it looks like so much fun !
Oh, but adults will get sun-burnt on the beach you know ?
Huh ? Is that so ? That's no fun.
I brought some oil, so allow me to...
Oil ?
Yes, would you like me to put some on you ?
Thank you !
Well then, I guess I'll go swim too.
Ryunosuke !
Yoshimi, over there.
Huh ?
CounterAttack !!
I'm going swimming !
See ya later !
Maybe Nuku-Nuku can't swim ?
Nah, it'd be the first time but... to say SHE CAN'T SWIM...
Damn ! Her body can't float in water !
Aaah, shock, shock. I can't believe this android body can't float in water...
Lucky for us to find a weakness in that NK-1124 Android isn't it ?
This time we'll totally trash that android.
A mistake so typical of Kyusaku... that's why I can't trust him. And we can use that girl.
Use how ?
We can use her to win Ryunosuke's heart.
Oh ?
TIMED BY CENTRAL ANIME
It's beautiful ! It would be great to tour the world in a ship like this !
That's right, I have a present for you, Yoshimi.
Huh ?
It looks great on you !
Yeah but...I can't accept such an expensive gift from a stranger.
I'm not a stranger though. After all, I gave birth to Ryunosuke.
But...
He's with his father studying...but if you get married to Ryunosuke, I will be your mother.
So, you'll accept this dress, right ?
Yes, Ma'am !
Ma'am sounds like a stranger, please call me mother.
Mother...
I can't eat any more fish...
Ryunosuke, Ryunosuke !
Let's go see the morning tide.
I'm still sleepy though...
I see.
I don't see her !
Let's go down to the shore !
Yeah.
I wonder where Yoshimi went ?
I'm sure she's eating a warm breakfast by now !
Huh ? Yeah, I guess so.
We might have passed by her someplace too.
Yeah, let's go back then.
Yup !
Ryunosuke ! It's Yoshimi ! On the ship !
That's the SunCaliflower !
Huh ? You know it ?
It's mom's cruiser !
Ryunosuke !
Please get in. Your mother is waiting for you.
That's dirty ! Kidnapping Yoshimi like that !
That's not true. She got onboard of her own free will.
That's a lie !
Well then, why don't you find out for yourself ?
I'll be right back.
Nuku-Nuku is going too !
There's no seat for you ! If you wanna come, swim over by yourself.
Of course that might be impossible if you can't swim.
Nuku-Nuku !!
Why you !
What's this ?
Before you is the Mishima Industries powered amphibious suit.
Let me introduce you to it, android.
GO !
What the...!?
Land Rover ATTACK !!
Papa, Papa !!
Are you okay, Nuku-Nuku ?
Papa... Ryunosuke... Ryunosuke got...
Akiko...
Nuku-Nuku can't swim. I can't float !
Papa, what is this ?
With that, even you can swim like a dolphin. It's the Mermaid model RX73.
Damn you...
Get away !
Ryunosuke... you aren't hurt at all are you ? Are you eating right ?
Taking a bath everyday ? You look a little sun-burnt.
You need to put some sunscreen on. But you look well, your mom is relieved.
Return her. Return Yoshimi.
Ryunosuke, I've been talking to Yoshimi about us 3 living together, and she liked the idea.
That's a lie, she wouldn't say something that, YOU LIAR !!
It's the truth Ryunosuke.
Yoshimi, everyone's worried about you. Let's go back.
Isn't this dress pretty ?
What ? What's wrong with you, Yoshimi ?
I want to live with you and Ryunosuke.
Of course, that's our plan.
Found it !
Shall we have some tea ?
I came to get you, let's go !
You can swim ?
Papa came, and made it so I can swim.
Stubborn aren't you !
I wonder how much pressure you can handle, android !
I'll crush you !
Damn octopus !
What the...
Alright !!
St...Sto...STOP IT !!
Oops, it broke.
Yoshimi !
Mother !
Ryunosuke !
Ma'am !
Ryu !
Mom...
Good work, Ryunosuke !
It sank...
Wh..What should we do ?
Does it hurt ?
It's okay, it's just a small scratch.
Do you remember your promise ? If harmed while under your care...
...you agreed to return Ryunosuke to his mother.
Is that true ?
Well there was a bit of miscommunication between us...
So, time to go home.
Stop ! What are you doing ?! Let me go !!
STOP IT !
Ryunosuke got hurt trying to save me. How can I take him away for that ?
Akiko...
But I haven't given up.
If something ever happens to Ryunosuke, at that time I will take him back.
We're leaving you two.
Wait for us !~~~~~~~~~\C3Wait for us !
Well, let's go.
Hey, wait for me, Ryunosuke !
Can you show me that love is happiness ?
Maybe it's actually loneliness ?
Spring's moonlight is so mysterious.
Why is it that you're suddenly so sweet to someone.
The moonlight breeze melts a place in my heart away.
No ! Please don't, no no ! Please don't ask me.
Wink one time, and say good-bye.
No ! Everyone will say it's a whim, but still...
It worries me, please don't blame me.
It's in my nature you know.
With a fear and shyness, you act so sweet.
Can you show me that a dream is happiness ?
Even broken is it sweetness ?
Why are your tears flowing so ?
Please, for just a little while, stay with me like this.
I think you'll understand something very important.
Can you show me that love is happiness ?
Is it exceptional tenderness ?
I like being near a kind hearted person.
Sitting on your lap. Your open heart...
...gently enwraps and quietly hugs me.
Can you show me that love is happiness ?
Maybe it's actually loneliness ?
Spring's moonlight is so mysterious.
