Kippei-onii-chan...
Here I come...
Oww!
Kippei-onii-chan!
Are you okay?
This is nothing... I'm fine.
You'll make Yuzuyu-chan sick!
I'm placing you under quarantine until you get better!
But...
You wanna make Yuzuyu-chan sick!?
Kippei-onii-chan...
Okay. That's all.
In summary, there are strange and frightening people.
If Yuzuyu were to go alone, we'd be playing right into their hands.
"Their"?
What about Mom?
After making Yuzuyu's lunch, she ran out.
She's an officer of the PTA.
And?
I can't be late for work, so...
In other words...
Really? No way! You've saved me!
Even though you said you're no good with kids.
You just forced it upon me...
Satsuki-onii-chan! Take care of me!
Okay.
If I Grew Up...
Satsuki-onii-chan!
Aren't we gonna hold hands?
Kippei-onii-chan and I always hold hands.
You know...
Hmm?
When I say I'm tired, Kippei-onii-chan buys me a caramel!
Really?
How nice.
And then... we go to the park, and play on the see-saw!
Because you do stuff like that, you end up late.
When we're running late, he picks me up and dashes off!
It's Katakura-kun!
Katakura-kun!
'Morning.
Ah, Kubata-san...
'Morning.
The sign at the station!
Who's that?
Is she your sister?
No.
She's my cousin, Yuzuyu-chan.
Yuzuyu-chan, eh?
How cute.
'Morning
Oh, yes.
If possible, I'd like to ask a favor of you.
Katakura-kun's asking me?
I'm taking Yuzuyu-chan to the kindergarten. Could you tell the teacher that I'll be late?
Yes. Sure.
Oh, jeez... What was I expecting...?
I got it!
I'll tell him.
Satsuki-onii-chan... is she the girl on the sign at the station?
The sign at the station?
Yep!
That's right!
If I grew up?
I'd become Kippei-san's bride, of course!
Though... Satsuki-san would be great, too
I'd be a train engineer!
I'd make cakes!
A bank clerk!
How about you, Yuzuyu-chan?
Me?
I'd... Umm...
You know, the person on the sign by the station!
Huh?
What're you saying?
You're wrong!
I just met her!
Met? Who?
Is Yuzuyu-chan talking about the juice sign at the station?
Yep! That's it!
Could it be that you want to become a model!?
A model?
There's no way you could do it.
Marika-chan, why do you think that?
Models... have to be really tall!
Models have to be tall?
So that's how it is...
Now that you mention it...
I wonder if it is impossible for me...
It's totally impossible!
Kubata-san.
Thanks... for telling the teacher that I'd be late.
It was nothing!
What'll I do!?
What do you mean?
He thanked me!
People normally do that.
Right...
But... I... like Satsuki-kun.
I was so happy I felt like crying.
My heart felt like it would explode.
But tomorrow, I have two periods with Satsuki-kun.
If I think about what will happen tomorrow...
Ayumi-chan, didn't you hear?
Satsuki-kun doesn't like tall girls.
No way...
Now that I think about it, I look down at Satsuki-kun.
You're tall because you're a model.
It's not like i grew because I'm a model.
Actually, Satsuki-kun doesn't like modeling and that sorta thing.
He likes girls with short hair.
I wonder if we said too much...
I wonder...
I just wanted to tease her a little...
Right?
Are you lonely without Kippei?
Just a little.
The park!
The sandbox!
Let's play together!
In the sandbox?
I don't even remember how to play in the sand.
Then... I won't play, either.
Is that okay?
Yep.
I forgot, too.
Really?
I drew it!
Look!
What is it?
Oh, Yuzuyu-chan, you're so good at this!
You're a lot better than the other children here!
Okay. Everyone, let's eat!
Okay.
Call grandpa and grandma.
Really?
You drew this?
It's great! You're a genius!
Okay, I'll put it up, too!
Our collection keeps getting bigger.
I'll draw more!
Sure. Draw more of me, too!
Huh? What're you doing, Yuzuyu-chan?
You mustn't bite the table!
She must be unsatisfied with something.
Satsuki, go take care of Yuzuyu-chan.
Me?
The old man said, "Jump over the fire and the come back."
But Mr.Lion was afraid and could not do it.
"I am unable to do that."
Shall we read a different one?
Sure.
Let's see...
What's that?
Old pictures.
Do you know who this is?
Let's see...
It's Kippei!
He's so small.
It's because he was 5.
The same age as you, Yuzuyu-chan.
Did Kippei-onii-chan go to kindergarten, as well?
He did, I think.
What kind of child was he?
Kippei?
I don't know.
I wasn't born yet.
I'm home!
He said boyish things like, "I'm going to become a soccer player!" at that age.
How wrong he was...
He's crying in this one!
Yes. That's... because Satsuki was born.
Because Satsuki-onii-chan was born?
Why?
That's because...
Listen. Can you hear the baby's voice?
Kippei, you're going to be a big brother.
Take care of him, and play with him a lot.
I won't be a big brother!
I'm home!
I don't need a baby!
What's with babies?
I don't act like my mom acting like this.
Kippei!
Sis!
Hurry up and come with me. The baby's being born!
No!
I don't want or need a baby!
I hate em!
Why can't you cheer her on!?
It hurts mother too!
It hurts her?
Yes, it hurts!
More than your slap just now?
Of course!
The kinda pain that makes your nose bleed!
I... I...
Look! It's your little brother.
He's so small.
How cute.
Everyone thinks you're cute, too.
I'm Satsuki.
The Earth will cease to exist.
Amazing!
Don't drop him, Mom!
But he's scary! He's even smiling!
Is that true?
How interesting.
It was too scary.
For a week after that, only Kippei would go near you.
Everyone kept calling you the Prince of Darkness!
Yuzuyu-chan, let's play in the sand tomorrow.
But, Satsuki-onii-chan, you...
I just remembered... how to play.
Okay!
I... love corm!
Yuzuyu-chan..
It's not "corm", but "corn".
Corm? Cormn?
Corn!
I said it!
I'll have another!
You're wrong if you think that'll make you grow bigger.
You'll grow big if you drink milk!
I'm fine without drinking any.
Let's have a race and see who's taller after 10 years!
Sure.
I'm the only one on day duty?
TL Note: In Japanese schools, it's customary for pairs of students to hand housekeeping tasks.
Yes. It seems Kubata will be coming in late.
So do your best on your own until then.
Okay.
Kubata-san, is that a perm?
No, that's not it.
It's just tied up.
This morning, I was contacted by a photographer, and met a hairdresser on location...
But how could you come to school like that?
It's like you're showing off!
And why even come now? Classes are over.
Girls! Stop being jealous.
Satsuki-kun doesn't like tall girls.
He also doesn't like modeling and that sorta thing.
Katakura-kun...
Sorry about today... and making you do the day duties on your own.
It's fine.
I'll handle the rest of the diary...
Katakura-kun...
I am sorry.
I wonder if I should quit being a model...
You don't need to tell me that.
Turn that over to the teacher.
See ya.
I... was happy to hear Satsuki-kun thank me.
I wanted to do the day duties with him...
I wish I could have said that...
I've gotta fill in the diary!
Huh?
Satsuki-kun wrote it all...
Today's Events
I hope Kubata-san tries her best at work.
-Katakura
Satsuki-kun...
Even though Kippei-onii-chan used to be so small, he's so big now!
I wonder if I'll become big, too!
You will.
As tall as the girl on the sign by the station?
You mean Kubata-san?
I don't know about that, but...
Satsuki-kun!
Kubata-san! What?
Satsuki-kun, here!
What'd you bring me?
I asked you to hand it in.
Satsuki-kun...
I love you.
I also really love my modeling job.
But I'm... tall, have long hair, and am a model...
...and Satsuki-kun, you hate girls like that, right?
The reason I told you that stuff earlier is because I didn't want you to hate me.
But if I kept doing that, I... felt I was going to end up hating myself!
Will you forgive me?
Huh?
It's not like I hate girls who are models...
I don't really hate girls who have long hair either.
Also, I'll grow taller than you soon.
Are you okay?
Yes.
You took the diary...
The teacher will be mad tomorrow.
At me, as well...
Though I don't really care.

Huh?
What're you doing?
Marika-chan!
Satsuki-san is here, too!
Who's that girl over there?
The girl on the sign.
Oh, yeah! Markia-chan!
Satsuki-onii-chan said he'd grow taller that her soon.
If Satsuki-san says so, it must be true.
Marika-chan, let's both drink milk and grow big!
What's wrong, Marika-chan?
I... can't drink milk.
Because I hate it!
Yuzuyu!!
Kippei-onii-chan!
Kippei-san!
I'm all better, Yuzuyu!
Kippei-onii-chan!!
Jeez! Yuzuyu!
Yuzu!
Kippei-onii-chan!

All right! It's done!
Huh?
Two lunches?
Yuzuyu's and yours?
That's not it! It's for my girlfriend.
Kya!
"Kya"? What interesting thing are you doing!?
I wonder if she'll be happy.
Who knows?
Next time on Aishiteru ze Baby:
Two lunches!
Why?
Kokoro-chan is upset!?
Maybe it tasted bad...
