If I Can't Pet One...
Miike!
I'm so glad. I'm so glad.
Did you have fun?
Yeah, it made me cry a little.
Hey, hey, Mom?
What is it?
The big girl sitting behind us was crying lots and lots, too.
The big girl?
The Lost Cat
Cat-san...
Wow, they're so cute!
Aren't they just?
And this one playing with a ball of yarn is totally adorable.
They really are cute.
They're so fluffy, it's like they're just two balls of fur.
Yeah, they seem to be sleeping so peacefully.
Oh, Sakaki-san. Here, you take a look too.
Our cat had babies.
If I want to order copies... do I write it in the back?
Do you like cats too, Sakaki-san?
What?
A-A little...
Then, do you have one?
No, because my parents can't handle cats and such.
I see. That's too bad.
Good.
Will these be fine?
Yes.
Thank you very much!
Chiyo-chan.
Oh, Sakaki-san.
Where did you get that?
I won it in a lottery in the shopping arcade.
Please hold on a minute.
I'm so sorry for making you carry it.
No... it's okay.
Good morning!
11 Years Old
What?
Really?
I didn't know.
Yes, it is.
Morning.
Good morning, Sakaki-san.
Morning!
Morning.
Mornin'.
You seem to be having fun.
Oh, we were just talking about Chiyo-chan.
Her birthday's coming up.
Birthday?
Yes, it's this Sunday.
I will finally be turning eleven.
I'll be a little more grown up!
Eleven years old...
But you know, Chiyo-chan looks younger than that, doesn't she?
Even back in grade school,
if we were lined up by height, I was always towards the front.
Sakaki-san.
What?
Sakaki-san, why are you so tall?
I-I don't know.
I wish I could become taller too.
Being short is better because you look cuter that way.
Really? But it's cooler to be tall.
Cool?
Yes.
Being cute rather than cool is...
This is...
Stronger.
Stronger?
Come to think of it, are you still growing, Sakaki-san?
Looks like.
Thought so! You're taller than you were this spring, right?
Did you go over 170cm yet?
I went over.
Chiyo-chan!
It's like Sakaki-san's suckin' it away from you.
Sakaki-san?
Did you take my height?
Uh... No...
You took it, didn't you?
You took it, didn't you?!
No...
Give it back! Please give it back!
What?
Uh, well...
Give it back!
So, like...
Give it back!
S-Sorry...
Give it back!
Please give it back!
Give it back!
Sakaki-san doesn't know what to do.
Way to go Chiyo-chan.
That's an eleven-year-old for ya.
Please give it back!
Say, Chiyo-chan?
Yes?
You want to do a party this Sunday? For your birthday?
What?
We'll all get together at your place.
Well?
I'm in!
Me too.
I'll go.
Really? I'm so happy!
We better get presents ready and stuff.
Yeah!
Speaking of which, what did you get last year?
Oh, I got ribbons.
Ribbons...
What's the matter, Sakaki-san?
N-Nothing.

Wow, it's so cute!

These are fun!
Can I get one?
Here, I got you one.
Thanks.

Hello!
Mihama
I f y o u h a v e b u s i n e s s
p l e a s e p r e s s t h e b u t t o n
Welcome!
Thanks for having us!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday.
Chiyo-chan, we brought you presents.
Wow, thank you so much!
Well, anyway, please come on up to my room.
Oh, wait. Where's Sakaki-san?
Sakaki-san! Sakaki-san!
And so,
we will now begin the great present contest!
The top batter is me.
Here.
Thank you very much.
F e e l i n g s
What is this?
My feelings!
Huh?
You guys didn't like that? Man, so I failed?
Oh, fine.
Here. This one's the real present.
What's this?
A magic wand!
If you use this, you'll be able to grow tall too!
I'm not of an age to believe such things anymore.
Oh, come on, come on.
Here, this is from me.
Thank you very much.
This one's from me.
So, your present is a stuffed animal cat?
It's so cute!
Thank you very much.
Not at all.
What should I name it?
Mon Petit.
Oh, it already has a name.
I will take good care of it.
Give her a good home.
But I'm a little surprised.
I didn't know you named your stuffed animals too.
Nice to meet you, Mon Petit.
Mon Petit is...
Mon Petit is the younger sister. She has an older sister.
Speakin' of names,
I discovered that a lot of racehorses have cute names.
Really?
I think it was names like "Princess Katsuhime" or "Esprit Mako-mako".
That's cute?
Why don't you give her a name like that too?
No.
What? But...
No.
Oh, well. Mine's a stuffed animal too.
Here you are.
Thank you very much.
That's...
What? Is something the matter?
The father...
This is the father...
Do you mean, her father?
No, yours.
Mine?
Oh, fine! So my present didn't make anyone happy or stir up conversation.
Chiyo-chan, Chiyo-chan.
What? Yes?
What is it?
* The Giants is Tokyo's team. The Tigers are part of Hanshin.
Chiyo-chan, are you a Giants fan?
Yes, they're going to win this year!
No way, the Giants are no good.
This year, it's going to be the Hanshins.
The Giants!
The Hanshins!
The Giants!
The Hanshins!
The Giants!
The Hanshins, I'm telling you!
The Giants!
The Hanshins!
The Giants are going to win for sure!
Strike!
But you know, that's what the Giants say every year and they always lose.
It's going to impossible for them this year too.
Oh! No, well...
Don't worry.
Your father will...
Huh?
Why?
Well, we'll be going.
It was real fun.
Oh, I'll come too.
What?
I'll go with you part of the way. I have to walk Tadakichi-san anyway.
Okay. Then, let's go together.
Yes!
Ah!
It's a shortcut if we go this way.
What's wrong?
Wow...
Wow!
Well...
It's huge.
It's pretty.
I feel like I'm goin' to get drawn into it.
Oh, wait for me!
Wait, wait!
Sakaki-san!
I'll see you again tomorrow at school!
So long.
Later.

I'm Kagura.
I showed up a couple times, like in the pool and sports fest episodes,
but starting next episode, we'll be second year students!
Classes are getting shuffled!
I'll be in the same class with Sakaki and we'll be going head-to-head, no doubt about it!
All right, Sakaki! Now is the time for us to fight it out!
I challenge you!
What? Who?
Hey, wait!
Hey, Sakaki, wait up, damn it!
I'm not waiting.
