Hot, hot, it's so damn hot !
Won't you shut up ? Your whinning makes me even hotter.
Hey Arisa, you can fix weapons, why can't you fix the AC ?
Because it doesn't shoot. {Orig. trans="Because I'm clumsy" - funny in Japanese but not in English}
You've got to endure. I'll call the repairman next payday.
Payday...
There's still 25 days to go !
What have you really been doing ?
Akies...I suppose that's also owned by Akiko's company.
It must be air-conditioned, it must be cool.
That's...
What is it ? What do you see ?
Excuse me.
Coming.
I'll have a ``Natade Coconut'' and a ``Panna Cotta'' {If you know what these drinks are, tell us!}
What are you doing ? Aren't you finished !?
But, what do you...
Hurry up ! If we don't order, she won't come over here.
But, my wallet is... {yeah, we know he said "money" }
Who cares ?!
Excuse me !
Coming.
It's hot.
It's cool in here.
Welcome to Akies. May I help you ? {yep, we know she said reversed in Japanese, but it sounds funny in English that way}
ALL-PURPOSE CULTURAL
CAT GIRL
Looking up at the sky I saw a twinkling shooting star...
...but I couldn't finish making all of my wishes.
I wanna do this, I wanna do that.
My heart is so greedy. Dreams have filled my heart to overflowing.
The coaster carrying my dreams flies through the galaxy.
They're speeding up rapidly and going forever.
Get up, you've got to look for tomorrow while you step on the accelerator.
Today
Get up. I'll make an easy pass through a troubled canal.
Please, get out of my way !!!
You idiot ! Look what you've done !
Now, now, Ryu, don't be so mad. Nuku-Nuku feels guilty enough.
But that doesn't fix my bicycle !
You're always destroying and breaking things.
You're apology doesn't change anything.
But, Nuku-Nuku is nothing but a ``cat''.
No way ! She always becomes a cat when it's convenient.
Nuku-Nuku is a human, HUMAN. She has to take responsibility.
Responsibility.
Now hiring at Akies Nerima Sakae-cho. Starting pay Y750/hr \C3(approx. $7.50/hr)
No, you don't. She's sleeping so peacefully because she's been working so hard.
Are you really human ?!
Yeah, that's right. Leave her alone.
But...but...
Oh, Nuku-Nuku, was it enough ?
You can sleep even longer.
If you want, you can come to my room and sleep with me.
Well, I...
I fell asleep !? The manager will give me a scolding.
It's alright. He's not here.
But, I have to get to work.
Then let me help...
Excuse me.
Coming !
Why am I standing here ? I've got to order more.
Oh well, sales are increasing anyway. The owner will be happy now.
Sales volume this quarter
Big gains, big gains.
When did you get here ? Didn't you even bother to knock ?
We called you many times...
Ma'am ! I've just obtained some urgent and important information.
The high-school girl android is...
...working at Akies Nerima Sakae-cho branch !
Yes. Look at this.
``Family Restaurant Monthly''
It's the...
...high-school girl android !
The Akies chain, financed by Mishima Heavy Industries...
...is the new entry into the fast-food market and is rapidly gaining in sales this summer.
Especially at the Nerima Sakae-cho branch...
...Atsuko Natsume, shown on the cover, is very popular, and...
That's the way it is.
``That's the way it is ?!'' Don't you want to beat the high-school girl ?
It's not my concern.
As an owner, I have been responsible, not emotional.
She has ?
I have !
Although it's experimental, business is business. It's got to be in the black.
Moreover, it doesn't matter if Nuku-Nuku is involved or not. I'm the owner of the company.
But, Ma'am...
Listen ! While she's in my restaurant, don't make any trouble for her.
Especially you, Arisa...
You are to NEVER randomly fire assault weapons in the store, understand ?
Even if it's just minor damage, you'll have to pay for it.
No way...
Ma'am, I have just one thing to say.
What is it ?
Could you loan us some money ? Just Y5000 \C7( $50 )\C3 would be enough.
How in the world does Y5000 become Y500 \C7( $5 )\C3 ?
It was a miracle that she loaned us even that much.
And she issued us a I.O.U.
When I see fresh fish, it's hard to resist biting into its head.
Yeah, I like to bite the cow's head, too. {Translation is correct! It's supposed to be funny! He's just rambling to keep her there }
What do they see in her ?
In short, all guys love girls with big tits and no brains.
I can't stand this ! WE are the true intelligent women of modern society.
Arisa, are you the intelligent type ?
Are you ready to order ?
One coffee.
And you ?
I don't want any.
I said I don't want any.
Let me repeat your order. A coffee...?
Just one.
Just one coffee. Thank you very much.
Excuse me.
Anyway, I can't let the cat girl go free. We failed to capture her...
...and then we got our salaries cut, and no bonus either.
Evenings are out of the question and we have to work on Sundays and holidays, too.
I can't get a date...
...or even get asked.
We're such an ill-fated pair.
We've got to do something no matter what Akiko says.
Here you go.
Anything else ?
No !
Please enjoy it.
Refills are free. We'd better share it.
That's right. You don't have any diseases, do you ?
What are you talkin' about ?
You can't get infected by sharing like this.
Er..those two over there...
...did they do something bad to you ?
Not particularly.
Another coffee !
Refill, refill !
Come on, quick !
Coming !
Here.
What are you doing ?
Even iced coffee refills are free this way.
I see what you're doing ! It's empty now. Pour ! Quick !
You dummy, what have you done ?
Giving us such a poor glass, are you trying to kill us ?
It's so cruel, so mean....
I didn't...
I don't want to hear your excuses. Apologize now !
I'm sorry.
No, it's terrible...
It's OK little girl. Hey, she says ``sorry'' isn't enough.
But what can I do ?
Oh well, why don't you stand on your hands in the nude ?
No way !
Do it now !
Thank you. Come again.
Damn cat girl. I'll never forgive you for this.
Ryunosuke ?
Who the hell is Ryunosuke ?
He's a boy who lives in my apartment with me.
Say what ?
How are they related ?
Is he her brother or...?
Yes, he must be...
Calm down everyone. I'll ask her.
Nuku-Nuku...
Yes ?
I... I...
I LOVE YOU !!
You bastard !!
Nuku-Nuku, I hate to bother you when you are so busy...
...but these girls say they want to work and they're starting today.
So, can you show them how to do everything ?
Sure.
We don't know anything, so...
...please take care of us.
I'm Nuku-Nuku, nice to meet you.
Are you ready ?
Look at this.
Forgive me about that.
What kind of people make up your family ?
Kind of people ?
I mean who is in your family ?
Papa, Ryunosuke and me, it's a family of three.
Papa ? Is he your father ?
No ? And might he have a wife living separately ?
Yes. How did you know about that ?
W...wait a sec. But would you say that R...R...R...Ryunosuke is a c...c...child ?
Yes, he surely is a child.
No! No way ! Nuku-Nuku has...
A high school girl has a patron.
A secret lover, a second wife or what ?
And she even has a child.
Holy mackerel, God has no mercy.
Take a look.
Even though she's an android, she's still a cat.
Once we free these, she'll chase them wildly.
The shop will be messed up, and lose it's popularity and credibility.
That'll be OK, then ?
Hurry, now is the time.
What's going on here ? Do something quickly.
Nuku-Nuku.
She's gonna get in trouble.
Yes ?
Those mice...
It's alright. I captured them all. Here.
Wonderful ! You did a great job.
Wait a sec ! Why are you pleased with her ?
She messed up the shop, didn't she ?
But it was because of the mice.
That's just the cause, and the result is her fault...
This isn't the place for this. Let's talk about it back there.
What the hell is he thinking ?
It's nonsense.
Which shop hired you ?
I know you brought the mice. It was an amusing nuisance, wasn't it ?
No, it wasn't.
Nuisance...?!
Don't pretend to be innocent. Obstruction of business will be wiped out by force !
Just kidding, but the owner's philosophy is kind of brutal.
Owner ?
It means...
I, myself, hate violence...
...right ?
Damn that high-school girl !
Welcome.
Hi, Nuku-Nuku.
I'm glad that you both came.
Ryu is worried about you.
No, I just thought that Nuku-Nuku would be messing up again.
This way.
That's the patron.
Tying up an angel with money, he's an evil, perverted dirty old man...
...with a Lolita-complex. Of course, WE can't let him live.
What's the matter with you ?
Won't you put down those dangerous things ? Violence won't solve anything.
Shut up !
I've got the Cat Nip Launcher.
Cat nip... ?
Who are you ?
YOU'RE the dirty old man deceiving our angel Nuku-Nuku, huh ?
You guys. What are you doing to Papa ?
Please get out of the way.
This is a just war to save you from the barren wasteland of love.
You're talking such nonsense.
Haven't you figured it out yet ?!
What're you guys trying to do ?!
Your dirty tricks have pissed us off ! We're gonna pay you back.
Gotcha.
Stop it ! There are innocent...!
Who cares ? Take this !
I'll finish you ! Eat this !
Persistent !
How's my Akies doing ? The monthly target will be easily achieved.
It's gonna be at the top of the market soon !
Hey, what the hell are you doing ?
What's wrong with Nuku-Nuku ?
What's really going on ?
Do me too !
What is this mess ?
Won't you stop doing this ?
Bastard !
I don't care anymore !
That's...
It can't be...
Kyoko ! Arisa ! Cut that out !
Stop it ! Please... My shop, my shop.
Ma'am.
To pay for the store, injuries, and compensation for the mess...
...it'll be roughly 1 billion yen\C7 ( $1 million )\C3. You will pay for ALL of it.
No way !
Impossible !
Forgive me.
We've known each other for such a long time.
As an owner, I have been responsible, not emotional.
No waaaaaaay....
When I do something, it always turns out like that. I can't buy you a bicycle.
It's alright.
I could take care of the bicycle.
No, I'll work and buy it.
So, I'll find another job and start working tomorrow.
So, it's gonna take...
...a long time to get a bicycle.
You're so mean. I'll try harder.
Thanks, I won't count on it !
Sure, your wonderful dream that heated you up will be real.
Even a little step in the beginning makes things get bigger.
Everybody, don't forget to believe in yourself.
Be in high spirits and keep on trying.
Don't get won over.
Even if gloomy days are happening.
Be in high spirits and keep on trying.
You're not wasting your endeavor on each day...
So you'll keep on shinning.
