Excuse me.
Nyamo
Did you want something, Miss Kurosawa?
Oh, Chiyo-chan.
Minamo Kurosawa
Nyamo
Sorry for calling you in.
It just arrived.
Here. Your swimsuit.
Thank you very much!
I can special order swimsuits,
but I can't special order the pool, so be careful, okay?
High school pools are deeper.
I will.
Nyamo, let's go drinking after school's over today!
Right now, the bar "Yotchan" in front of the train station,
where they have your favorite draft beers,
has them for 150 yen because they have ladies' nights!
You know, I'm having a serious conversation here,
so quit bothering me.
Don't get so serious, Nyamo. It's bad for your health.
Oh, shut up!
Excuse me, but what's "Nyamo"?
Oh, it's Nyamo because her full name's Minamo Kurosawa.
It's a nickname from back when we were students.
Aren't I always telling you not to use that nickname at school?
Oh, come on, who cares?
You know, what you do with your stuff in private is one thing,
but tidy up when you're at school!
Why don't you do something about your desk?
Don't worry, this is still organized in its own way.
I know perfectly well where everything is.
Okay, then return the dictionary I lent you the other day!
Oh, sorry about that.
Let's see. Dictionary, dictionary...
Here.
Watch out!
Don't just sit there watching! Help!
Chiyo-chan!
Chiyo-chan, are you okay?!
Miss Yukari, please tidy up! Please tidy up!
Yeah, I know...
Chiyo-chan!
Wow.
So, Miss Kurosawa and Miss Yukari were in school together.
Yes. Not only that, they're apparently alumni of our school.
If we're talking about being in school together, we outrank them.
What do you mean, "outrank"?
The truth is, Yomi and I have been together since grade school!
Wow, that's incredible.
I don't have anyone I've been with since grade school.
I'm sure you don't.
Yeah.
So, I know lots of secrets about Yomi that you don't know about.
For example...
Hold it! What are you going to say?
The terror of the moldy bread incident!
Moldy?
Bread?
Back in grade school, Yomi had leftover bread in her desk,
which grew moldy and developed into something terrible!
Not only that, the mold gained sentience and our troubles began!
We were holed up in the science preparation room
and with an alcohol lamp in one hand,
we fought back against the great swarm of mold!
Come on, Chiyo-chan, let's go.
That's when I had a flash of inspiration!
That if we could get the mold remover from the bathroom,
we would be able to defeat them!
Oh, the story 'bout the mold aliens was made up.
Why would you think it was real?
There was an indescribable sense of reality to it.
Of course, it did. That was based on a true story...
No, it was not!
Oh, Miss Kurosawa.
Miss Kurosawa.
What is it?
So, you and Yukari-chan were classmates?
Yes, we were.
What kind of student was Miss Yukari?
Let me think...
Well, I have a lot of anecdotes...
Love letter! Love letter!
Lalalala, love, love, love letter!
Love letter! Love letter! Love, love, love, love, love letter!
Love! Love! Love letter!
Well, I think she was a pretty normal student.
Love! Love! Love letter!
She must have something on her.
Factional Rivalry
Hey, which are you for? Miss Kurosawa or Miss Yukari?
That's a no brainer.
Miss Yukari, of course...
What are you, an entertainer?!
Minamo-chan's way more...
Then, why don't you go talk to Miss Kurosawa about it?
Yeah, I think I will. Miss Kurosawa might understand.
Anyone need a teacher you can easily talk to?!
Anyone?!
I swear! That Nyamo! Why is she so popular?!
Here goes!
Okay!
Miss Kurosawa, over here!
Ah-ha, I see.
Basketball!
What?
This is the era of basketball!
Come sweat and live your youth with your teacher!
Now, everyone gather in the gym!
Assemble now!
Team Yukari
Team Yukari!
Yeah.
Team Sea Slug!
Why?
Sea slug?
Team Sea Slug!
Yeah.
Okay, we'll say whoever wins one game is the victor.
Sea Slug
Yukari
Also, the losers will buy the winners juice. Got it?
Yukari
What?!
Yukari
We're making a bet?
Is a teacher allowed to make bets?
It won't be exciting unless we make a bet.
Besides, like hell I'm going to exercise with no reward in sight.
All right! Next!
Sea Slug
Yukari
Chiyo
There, there!
You can't reach it!
My team's going to win at this rate.
Yukari!
What?! What do you want?!
Chiyo-chan, you wanna trade places?
Yes!
It's no fair for a teacher to join in!
You're a teacher too!
What are you talking about? You're a P.E. Teacher.
Hey!
You're not getting past us!
We'll stop you!
Wow.
Not so fast!
Awesome!
Miss Kurosawa, that was cool!
That's a P.E. Teacher for ya.
I just played a little in high school.
It sure makes a difference when you've actually played seriously.
I only joined part-time because they were short on players.
That's so impressive!
You moved so fast, I couldn't see at all.
Yeah, no kidding! That's a P.E. Teacher for you!
Whoa, Yukari-chan's lost it!
Come on, Yukari, stop this!
You wanted cola, right, Nyamo?!
Thanks, Yukari.
Miss Kurosawa, could I talk to you for a second?
Sure.
Oh, sorry. I just got something urgent to do.
You can drink that cola, if you want.
What? But...
Yukari's Here
Yes?
I'm here!
Yes, yes.
Yo!
It's pretty rare for you to pay me a visit.
What? Really?
Well, that doesn't matter. Come in.
The thing is, construction has been going since early this morning.
It's unbelievably noisy.
Really?
Well, good night.
You're going to sleep?!
Honestly!
Nyamo!
Yes?! What is it?
What is this?!
This?
This! This! What's with this pillow?! It's all squishy and...
Oh, I bought it the other day.
How much did it cost?
A little over 10,000 yen.
You damn bourgeois! Get out!
Get out? But...
But how should I put this?
This strangely rich, smooth, and springy texture is just so...
Isn't it nice? It helps you sleep really well.
It's made in France, isn't it?!
I think it was Denmark.
You're right!
You can tell?
All right! I'll test it to see how well you can sleep on it!
Oh, you've got the pillow upside down...
Yes?
I have a package for you.
It's from a Mr. Yamazaki in Hokkaido.
Oh, it's from my uncle.
Hokkaido!
Wait, Yukari!
When it comes to Hokkaido...
Crabs!
Sea urchins!
Salmon stew!
This is!
I guess it wasn't food.
Hey, what are you doing?
I'm calling this Yamazaki bastard.
To tell him to switch this for crabs.
What?!
Yes, hello? Is this the Yamazaki residence?
Quit it! You can't make demands about gifts!
Oh, pardon me! Wrong number!
What the hell are you going to do with this bear?!
Well, maybe display it by the front door or...
You could display crabs too!
You don't display crabs.
I know! I'll return it to the sender!
What?
Hey, wait!
Come on, knock it off already!
You're always so worried about appearances!
That's why you can't find a boyfriend!
That has nothing to do with this!
Even back in college, you were worried about appearances
and while you dragged and dragged and dragged your feet,
one of our juniors went right under your nose and...
What are you doing? It's all true.
Some things you're allowed to say and some things you're not.
You are always, always so...
What are you talking about?! You're just as...
Excuse me, I need you to sign for the package...
Let go!
Not My Fault
You wanna go drinking?
Yeah.
So, where do you want to go?
You want somewhere close?
Or do you want to go all the way to the train station?
I'll leave the decision up to the sponsor this time.
Who are you calling the sponsor?
I'm saying that it's your day to treat me.
What kind of nonsense are you talking about?!
Nonsense?
In other words, you're going to take my part of the bill and...
Shut up! Be quiet!
Now, now. I'll treat you next time, okay?
That's a lie! That's certain to be a lie!
What? When have I ever lied...
Do me a favor! Stay here for a second!
What? Where are you going?
Excuse me.
Blah, blah.
Eh, just moment. My friend can speak English.
Oh?
Man, where did she go at such a crucial time?
Hey, what are you doing hiding and watching?!
That was fun.
You're an English teacher, aren't you?! Do something!
Hihi. What is it, Mr. Foreigner?
Blah, blah. Blah, blah.
Oh! Blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Wow, you almost seem like you're not stupid.
What did you say, you P.E. Teacher?
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah.
What? What are you talking about?
He said that P.E. Teachers are stupid where he comes from, too.
You liar!
Hey, isn't that Osaka?
You're right.
Osaka!
Hey, Osaka!
I'll never forget about you two.
What are you saying all of a sudden?
Are you transferring again or something?
No, that's not it. It's "one life, one meetin"'.
One life, one meeting
To meet only once in one's lifetime
Something limited to once in a lifetime
What's that?
It means, when you meet with people,
treat the occasion as if you'll never meet them again.
What about it?
I don't really understand,
but you just gotta cherish these one life, one meetings.
I get it!
It's the "Shame on the road is written off" thing!
What?!
Oh, that might be good.
All right! Let's sing at the tops of our lungs right here!
I've always wanted to try slipping on a banana peel!
One life, one meeting!
Oh, what's with you?!
You used to think a tomato was a fruit until you got into college!
You were secretly taking commemorative photos
in front of Senior Takeda's house too!
That's ancient history!
I derive my pleasure from digging up people's pasts!
No! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Well, shall we go home?
Yeah.
What happened to singing?
"Shame on the road is just written off," right?
I was thinking, just because you can write it off
doesn't mean you need to go out of your way to do something shameful.
Wise decision.
Forever and Ever
Yummy!
Well, you know, my friend, it's like that
"shame on the road is just written off" sort of thing, my friend.
What do you mean, "on the road"?
This is most definitely within our neighborhood.
What are you talking about?
The neighborhood is only as far as you can go in flip-flops.
Fine, fine, I don't care either way. Sheesh.
All right! Then, since I've won, take care of the bill here today!
Why do I have to...
Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Don't sweat the details so much.
What the?
You little...
I've been meaning to say this for a long time,
but you don't hold your chopsticks right.
What? What about chopsticks?
See? In your case, your chopsticks are parallel to each other.
You're supposed to hold it so it's opened up in the back.
Like this?
No, no. Here.
Okay, I'll give it a try.
Like this?
No, no.
Like this?
I don't really care, but don't break apart the croquettes.
Like I told you, you can't easily pick things up like that.
Here, like this.
Simple, isn't it?
Here, like this. And this.
Like this.
Yummy!
That's why I'm the chicken!
Say, don't you think you've had a bit too much today?
Why don't you call it quits soon?
I will be fine, Captain!
I must continue until the end!
What end?
Education!
In other words, it's sort of like this yakitori!
The meat here is me, and you're the green onions. You get me?!
I don't get you at all.
That's why you're so stupid, Nyamo.
What did you say, you little...
Yukari-chan's an English teacher, so she'll marry and become richer.
So happy.
Hey!
Yukari!
Oh, please don't fall asleep there!
Sleep barfing?
Anything but that.
I told you not to fall asleep!
You bought that pillow, remember?!
Oh, what the heck am I supposed to do with you?
Come on, walk straight!
I don't feel so good...
What?!
I might be in a big pinch here...
Yeah, okay, okay.
You're always chugging it down,
even though you don't handle your liquor well.
Please sort the trash.
Come on, let's go.
Believe in yourself!
You do that.
Please sort the trash.
Honestly!
I'm going to get a taxi. Let's get out to the street.
Retro-firing!
Volley firing!
Stop it!
Next
Azumanga Daioh
Next up is summer, swimsuits, and pool, pool, pool!
Hey, isn't it still spring?
Aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself?
The pool is so nice.
Our uniforms will change to short sleeves too!
Well, long sleeves would get hot.
Then, wearing your gym clothes...
No, swimsuits to class could be nice too.
Next time, summer will be in full swing!
Azumanga Daioh! Please look forward to it!
It'll be better if you're wet...
Shut up!
