Hey, you!
Hold it right there!
Eat your carrots!
No!
Eat them!
They make my teeth gross!
No, they don't!
If you don't eat your carrots, you won't grow up big and strong!
I hate being forced!
Hold it!
Lag hasn't finished his either.
You're right.
That's no good! You have to finish it.
Lag?
I don't... have much of an appetite...
Thanks for the food...
Huh?
Lag!
He's hot!
Oh, no!
A Sick Letter Bee and the Girls
It seems you've caught a cold.
This is because you went on that delivery in the pouring rain...
Rest quietly here for today.
I'll send a sick-leave note to the Bee-Hive later.
Thanks, you're a life-saver...
Lag, does it hurt?
That tickles...
Don't lick him...
He'll heal if you lick him.
No, he won't.
He's ill, so we have to nurse him.
Nurse?
That's right.
We do various things to take care of him so that he gets better.
Nurse... Take care of him...
I will nurse Lag and care for him!
Let's do it, Steak!
Okay, thanks for the help.
I'm making an icepack.
It's too heavy to place on his head with the ice in big chunks, so we have to break it into pieces.
Then leave that to me!
How's that?
To prevent his body from getting chilled, we wipe off his sweat with warm water.
Is that so?
You don't have to go to the trouble...
I'm not really sweating much...
What are you saying? You have to get better quick!
See? You're covered in sweat.
I'm gonna nurse and care!
Lag, does this make you happy?
Yeah, thanks. It feels good.
'Cause I'm your dingo!
Hey, wait...
That tickles!
His fever will get worse if you make him laugh!
Now, it's important to get nourishment when you're sick.
Perfect, as usual!
Your super disgusting soup is no good!
Lag will die!
How rude!
I added my own special flavoring to this canned soup!
It has lots of nourishment!
Special flavoring?
It's something I came up with all by myself.
I've thought up my own nourishment!
For Lag's sake, I will cook you!
Wait, Steak!
Be a good boy and let me cook you!
What's the matter?
This is for you, Lag!
Niche!
For pity's sake...
It looks like he's finally calmed down.
Is the nursing over?
He'll get tired out if we don't let him rest a bit.
I see.
And anyway, I don't think you're cut out for nursing, Niche.
Now, I have to send in that sick-leave note...
Let me do it!
I go to the Bee-Hive every day!
But...
As his dingo!
Then, I'll leave it up to you.
Let's go, Steak!
Will she be okay?
Maybe I can't be his nurse, but I can be his dingo!
Hey Missy, looking for something?
Like this?
Whoa there... We're not gonna give it to you for free.
Hand over 10,000 rin!
I don't have money.
What?
Oh, okay. Then come with us.
We'll give it to you after.
You mustn't attack humans!
If you be a good girl, we won't hurt you.
Unhand her this instant!
Give back that envelope!
You were late, so I got worried.
I'm glad I came.
I almost feel like your dingo today, Niche.
Let's go.
I see.
Lag Seeing has a fever.
Understood. I will report this to the Master.
Thank you very much.
That maka girl sure is something.
I wonder if he would let me borrow her for a bit now?
I don't think so.
She seems difficult to control, however.
I'm sure Sylvette can handle her.
Now then... We have to buy some medicine.
Huh?
Pretty, yes? It's a fine article I obtained from Akatsuki...
Just by looking at this vase you'll feel better.
Can it cure people who are sick?
Yes, it can cure them!
Hurry along now!
Lag'll feel better if he sees that!
No, he will not!
Honestly, I can't take my eyes off you for a second.
Listen, don't go off on your own again.
We're going to buy Lag some medicine now, okay?
I want to feed this to Lag!
Will Lag get better?
Now, now...
I want to show Lag!
I said, no!
Sheesh, I told you not to go off on your own, remember?
It was for Lag's sake!
You say that, but you just wanted to see them yourself!
What'll I do if you get lost?
Please, don't go off on your own.
No!
You might get caught by some shady people.
No, I won't!
That's enough! All you ever do is talk back to me!
You won't even eat your carrots!
You force me to!
Eating carrots, wearing underwear... You force me!
If I can't nurse right, at least I can be his dingo!
With me as his dingo, Lag is free!
I let him do what he wants! I don't force anything!
But...
You aren't my dingo, Sylvette! I am free!
I'm going to search for my own special medicine!
Gracious...
Let's go.
My own special medicine...
My own...
My own medicine...
You force me to!
Oh, nothing.
Anyway, let's buy that medicine!
What? You're out?
The last dose just went out the door.
It will take another 3-4 days for the next shipment from Akatsuki...
I see...
If I had some medicinal herbs, I could prepare some myself.
Um, where do these medicinal herbs grow?
Huh? But...
Don't worry. I may not look like it, but I'm a wheelchair leopardess!
At a place outside of Yuusari Central, Peanuts Field...
There it is!
Let's go!
Huh?
No... No way!
Steak!
Steak...
My special medicine... Boil up nice and tasty, okay?
It's important that you get nourishment when you're sick.
Nourishment? What's the difference between medicine and nourishment?
Sylvette isn't a dingo, but she knows about nursing...
Let's boil you, Steak!
It's... no use...
Sylvette!
Niche!
Niche... But, why?
Steak told me!
But, you were angry at me.
Lag won't get better without you.
Oh, right! The medicinal herbs!
Medicinal herbs?
I came here to get medicine for Lag.
I have special medicine!
I gathered them for Lag!
But, is medicine different than nourishment?
I'm not any good at nursing, but you can do it, Sylvette.
Oh, Niche...
Can it cure people who are sick?
I want to feed this to Lag!
That really was all for Lag's sake...
I'm sorry... I didn't understand you at all, Niche.
I'll stop being such a nag, I promise.
We're home!
Oh, welcome back.
You're late. Where have you been?
Pardon the intrusion.
What are you two doing here?
We came to pay a visit to the sick kid, obviously.
We brought lots of get-well gifts.
Lag, are you still sick?
Oh, I'm fine, pretty much.
I think the medicine that Zazie brought me is working.
Medicine?
Look! I got the last bottle.
Wait a sec...
That was you?
Do you have any idea what I went through...
Wh... Wait, what's going on?
Ow!
The wheels!
The mud!
Hold it right there!
Drink your milk!
No!
You won't grow up big and strong!
You said you wouldn't nag me any more!
You heard me?
Liar!
I wasn't lying!
Liar!
Lag, eat your soup!
Oh, no! I'm going to be late!
I'll finish it when I get back!
Thanks for the food!
Honestly, what am I to do with those two?
See you later!
Have a nice day!
