Oh?
Excuse me, Mr. Dragonfly, but that's not a place for you to rest your wings.
Oh, why not?
Episode 1
Return of the Maid
Ryuga, are you writing another report?
Yeah. Although it's more like a written apology.
Here.
Thanks, Sera.
It can't be helped. You went and fought Mahoro against Matthew's wishes.
My orders were to thoroughly investigate Mahoro and her surroundings.
Those orders that allowed the personal conflict were contradictory in the first place.
Contradictory?
The more I investigated Mahoro, the more difficult I found it to fight her.
Yes... After I got a taste of human life.
Oh, he's here!
Good morning!
What's that bastard up to, still disguising himself as a teacher...
And Mahoro is far too trusting...
Huh? Will Ryuga being a teacher cause some sort of trouble?
And Suguru was just as big a sucker as she is...
Mahoro says it's okay, so why not?
At least my getting hit by him wasn't a total waste.
Well. I guess their kindhearted spirits are their good point.
That is precisely why I, Slash, have to teach that idiot Saint android...
...a little something called "where to draw the line."
She's so beautiful...
She's our eternal idol!
It must've been tough to get your hands on an autographed photo book, Suguru.
Yeah!
After six months of negotiations, I got it in exchange for 30 Misato House meal tickets.
F o o d
Food...

What are you kids doing?
Riho Asaoka
Beautiful Doll
Let's see.
Mr. Ryuga!
What're you doing here?
W-What is this? You boys!
Dirty thoughts are inappropriate! Confiscated!
My beloved Riho Asaoka!
My treasure!
STAFF ROOM
That said...
How beautiful...
Her features should be thought of as a god-given masterpiece.
The photos are artistic, as well.
Perhaps I ought to return it.
Goodness. Mr. Ryuga, what are you doing with that?
Oh, this? I confiscated it from Mr. Misato a few minutes ago.
What?!
My, Mr. Misato, you're such a child.
Pardon?
You don't have to buy this stuff!
I'll show you the real thing whenever you want!
Oh, dear. Again, Ms. Shikijo?
It's like she's from another planet. She's incomprehensible.
What a pervert, grabbing a dirty book from Suguru and then drooling over it himself.
Dirty thoughts are inappropriate!
I think I'm going to have to destroy him, after all.
Mr. Ryuga, goodbye!
See you tomorrow.
Bye!
Take care.
Bye-bye, teacher.
Hurry home, now.
Take us out to lunch sometime!
Ask again in 10 years.
Cheapskate!
I'm dealing with Ryuga here, so he probably knew I was following him ages ago.
Well, I realize it's against the rules a little, but maybe I'll take him on right here.
Ooh, it's Slashie!
W-Who just called me by some weird baby name?!
Harune?
Slash!
Is there an enemy around?
N-No.
Mahoro?
Listen, listen!
Slashie's feet are all dirty, so I thought I'd clean him up!
And then, and then...
Well, we haven't got many customers yet, so I guess it's okay.
Yay!
But just this once, got it?
What are you doing, then?
I-I was just taking a walk, understand?!
In that case, let's all get him clean together!
Good idea!
Okay, then...
Wha...?! What did you say?!
W-What the heck am I doing?
We'll run to the open skies, we won't stop!
Even if we gasp for breath, we won't stop!
Public baths are so relaxing...
Because nobody's words...
...can reach us now...
...we'll run until we've had our fill.
Damn it, I think I'm coming down with a cold from that bath.
If we fight here, we won't cause trouble for anyone.
Maybe it's about time I show myself.
Well, it's about time for me to get back to the ship...
But you want to see me about something. Right, Mr. Support Mech?
Yeah.
You know what this is about, right?
I've begun to think that I'd like to live as a human, too.
If that's true, do it someplace else.
I'm Mahoro's guardian beast.
I ain't gonna let some stinking Saint hang around anywhere near her.
No?
No.
I'll kill you!
I have to be careful around this one.
Cross-chop!
ARRRRGH!
I came looking for you because you were late, and what do I find?
You should know better than to fight!
If you don't get along, I'll get angry!
Mahoro, did something happen?!
Ha! You expect me to get along with a rotten Saint android?
Who knows how many times I've been stripped by this bastard?!
Ha! That's my line!
Who knows how many times I've been bitten and raked...
...by those filthy fangs and claws of yours!
Oh, that's just dandy! You wanna take me on?!
Fine by me!
Cross...!
Are you listening? The fact that you're grumpy is proof that your tummy is empty.
You're the only one who gets bitchy when you're hungry.
Hi-ya! Chop, chop, chop, chop!
Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop!
Forgive me!
Honest!
The fool.
Have a rice ball or something for now and calm down.
And then, listen to me.
Leader must have told you this once.
"Earth people and Saint will one day walk hand in hand towards a single dream."
"We of Vesper exist to make that ideal come to pass."
"Only love and courage are friends."
No, that's not it. "To create the world to come."
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah
She gets her longwindedness from Leader.
What a hopeless girl.
Yes... She's violent, yet preachy. What a difficult girl.
T-This is my treasure!
Oh, you can take that book home. I thought it was beautiful and artistic.
C-Can I really? T-Thanks!
I don't think you should be looking at it at school, though.
Yes, sir...
It's still a porno...
Suguru? What's that you're holding?
Oh, this? This is, uh... a textbook.
Oh! It's a dirty book!
Dirty thoughts are bad!
Come on, I'm confiscating it.
Huh? H-Hey, Suguru! Hold it right there!
Oh, my... We're saved.
Forgive me, Suguru Misato.
It's not like I care, but what made you decide that you wanted to live as a human?
Well, I guess it was back then...
I want to know what true strength really is.
Heh. "True strength" huh?
Let's get one thing straight. I can't stand you.
I can't stand you, but unfortunately, my master's word is law.
I guess I can turn a blind eye to you loitering around here, Ryuga.
Matthew, I think I'm finally beginning to understand...
...why you give souls to us androids.
That is why I believe more and more that I'd like to live as a human.
Must... confiscate...
No!
Ryuga's late!
Hey, Suguru! Kawahara!
Let's grab something to eat on the way home, okay?
Sure!
Oh, I'm sorry. I have plans after school today.
Plans? With who?
With Mahoro.
What?! Don't tell me you're going on a date!
Is it?!
No, I'm just tagging along while she's shopping.
You know, at the mall in front of the train station.
It's the same thing!
Why do you get all the luck?!
Yeah, yeah.
What are you talking about? Give it a rest, already.
See ya, Suguru!
Yeah, later!
Lucky bastard... I'm so jealous.
Once we're grown up, we've gotta get our own maids!
I'll pass.
Who was that?
U-Um...
W-Who is she?! Is she a stalker?!
I suppose I arrived a bit early.
But thanks to that, I got a delicious taste of autumn, so I'll leave it at that.
Oh, no! This isn't good!
Mahoro!
I'm sorry, did I keep you waiting long?
No, it was delicious...
I mean, I haven't been waiting long at all.
By the way, who is that behind you?
Oh, dear! Are you all right?
Is she a friend of yours?
No, I've never seen her before.
She followed me all the way here, so I thought that maybe she knew you.
Good afternoon. Did you want to see me about something?
Well, I... Um...
Yes?
I want you to let me stay here.
Huh?
Where do you mean, "here"?
No, that's not right.
I wasn't supposed to meet you here.
Not here, but where you live. Not here, but...
You can just take your time and tell us slowly.
What's going on here?!
Why did a Vesper android warrior show up in a place like this?!
I don't have much choice... I'll have to dispose of 370 here.
The same building as Mahoro.
House? Yes, in your house...
Damn.
Mahoro! It isn't aliens again, is it?!
This is a little too impolite for Saint.
I'm sorry, but please take this for me.
It may be a bit dangerous to stay with us, so please go home without me, Suguru.
Mahoro!
They're only after this girl, so I'll be fine.
Um...
I'm sorry, we'll talk later.
Why are you helping me?
You came to see either Suguru or me, didn't you?
Yeah.
If that's the case, that means you may be an important guest.
Excuse me, but aren't you with Management?
Yeah. Um, yes. But not anymore.
I don't want to go back there ever again.
Come on. It looks like things are going to get hectic again.
Wait.
I'll fight, too.
Now!
Hey, now... Wasn't 370 supposed to be our only target?
If you're letting an android egg you on, there's still room for improvement in your AI.
Oh, well. I can't blame you.
Just keep moving like you did just now, and you'll be fine.
For now, though, let's get clear of here.
It's me.
Oh, is this Professor Mephlis? Hello, this is Feldrance.
Oh, is that you, 227? I've been waiting for you!
Is this a good time?
I just said that I've been waiting for you, didn't I?!
So, how'd it go?
Well, the operation to capture 370 seems to have failed.
"Seems to" doesn't tell me anything! Be specific!
Oh. Yes, sir.
V-1046R MAHORO showed up earlier than expected,
and the Man-Eaters you sent to capture her were wiped out.
That's what happened, so I guess it's for certain.
In other words...
In other words, you're saying that my plan went off without a hitch.
Give me the details when you return.
Bye.
Yes, sir!
I see! She destroyed three of those machines he's so proud of.
I can just picture the look on Canan's face tomorrow.
It serves him right!
She doesn't have any visible wounds.
Which means there must be something wrong with her in general.
Mahoro!
I broke my shoes.
P-Please let me stay here in this house...
Mahoro stops functioning in...

satellite poem
Brrrrriiiing!
I begin work soon after I quiet the alarm clock.
I clothe myself in white and throw myself into my work as always.
Cooking, laundry, shopping...
I have a nap occasionally, but please allow me that single vice.
Isn't it the most wonderful thing to work on someone's behalf?
Today I will work with all my might so that I may see someone's beautiful smile.
Next Episode
Artificial human 370 has escaped from Management.
She is a very quiet, very sweet, and very clumsy girl.
But most importantly, she has a compact bust like myself!
I can't possibly let her fend for herself now!
Starting today, this is your home.
And you...
We'll Mahoromatically see you again for the next episode!
