Look at this!
Check out my hand!
Isn't it awesome how I can bend my fingers back like this?
Try it!
Uh, no.
What's so awesome about that? When is that gonna come in handy?
It will!
I could like, appear in some kinda show!
What kinda show?!
Switch, try it!
I can't do it.
See? You can't do it! I'm awesome!
Oh yeah? It's a cinch.
Huh?
Oww!
See, you can't do it!
I'm way more awesome!
Huh? What was that?
I wasn't even using 20% of my full power, you know!
Hurry up then. Show me the other 80% of that power.
Shut up! I'll do it now!
I'm doin' it! I'm totally doin' it!
Ah well, I suppose I'll give you a hand!
Put more power into it and bend it!
Stop! Oww!
Oww...
I'm sorry Bossun, I went too far. Are you okay?
Uh... I think...?
You think?
It's just...
It made a weird sound...
Bossun?!
Episode 50: I'll Do Anything, Master
It hurts! It hurts!
Hey, look at this, Switch!
Look at what my hand has become!
You see! There was this idiotic woman!
And she perpetuated an act of violence against my poor hand!
See, her wrist is flexible or her fingers can bend a lot or something.
It's like some kinda special talent.
Yeah, she's got a special talent attacking people's wrists
and snapping them back so they hurt like hell.
I mean yeah, I play pranks now and again, sure...
But even so, I live with an honest mission!
I want to help people!
That's my one wish.
That's why I made this club!
I want to do a club where we help people even without them having to ask!
So tell me why.
Tell me why I have to get my wrist bent backward and my fingers broken, huh!
Enough!
I know, I know.
I feel really bad about this.
I'll do anything, so please forgive me.
Anything?
Y-Yes...
Servant's Contract I, Onizuka Hime, hereby contract myself as the servant of Fujisaki Yuusuke. I vow to obey any order, and respect and venerate him like a god.
Servant contract!
I, Onizuka Hime, hereby contract myself as the servant of Fujisaki Yuusuke.
I vow to obey any order...
I-I signed it.
Yes!
Now you're my servant!
Until my hand heals, you gotta do whatever I say!
You can't go against me, even one bit!
I know, I know!
"I know"?
I think you've got the wrong idea here...
What kind of language is that?
Don't you mean, "As you wish, Master?"
What? I don't wanna say that!
A-As you wish, Master.
Wait, wait!
Switch, that one she used during the festival.
That one, right?
I knew you'd know.
Leave that side to me.
As you wish, Master.
A word, if you please!
Shush, you.
I have to wear this again?
"Ga"
"Dogagagaga"
"Byu-!"
"Bo-"
"Gan!"
"Guaa!!"
"Hyun-"
"What...?!"
"Now!"
"Za-"
"It's over."
"Ba-"
"An afterimage!"
"What?!!!"
Um, yeah... That's enough.
What? That's it?
You usually read more manga...
Yeah, but just the voice doesn't really cut it.
This isn't working.
I've gotta go more on the attack!
Okay...
Ah, I'm hungry!
I'm hungry!
Alrighty! I mean, yes, Master!
Please have this cream puff for a snack!
Master, say "ah!"
W-What's this?
No need for formality...
No need for...
This is strange.
It won't fit in your mouth.
What's wrong?
How clumsy are you, damn it?!
Think for a bit!
My mouth is only this much, okay?!
I-I'm sorry, Master.
Something to drink!
My throat is parched!
I want a cola, yes, a cola!
Have me drink a cola, you blond bimbo maid!
As you wish, Master!
Huh?
You really do love cola, don't you, Master?
Now she's started talking like a Maiko.
I'll help you drink.
What's this?
Something's strange.
This feels... different than normal.
From deep inside my body, this bubbly sensation...
Bubbly...
Or rather, burbly!
What's wrong?
Enough!
Don't make me drink so much I spurt it out my nose!
I wanna... I wanna drink at my own pace!
Well, you're the one who told me to have you drink it!
That is what you wished for, Master.
Fine, whatever!
Something's not right.
I should feel more like a king now.
Is it 'cause there's nothing to do in the clubroom?
That's it.
Yeah, I definitely gotta show other people this!
Yo, Captain!
Practicin' hard, are we?
Bossun! Himeko-chan!
Bossun, you hurt your hand?
Are you okay?
Oh, this? Yeah, it's totally a big deal!
All thanks to some idiot!
If it happened to someone else, they'd be dead.
Your clothes are cute, Himeko-chan.
Huh? What's the matter, Himeko-chan?
What, what? What's that?
She's just standing behind you, Bossun...
Oh, that?
Well, it's one of those "master-servant" relationship things.
The servant, you see... And this is important.
It's not right for a servant to walk alongside the master, you know?
So that's why I ordered her to walk three paces behind me.
Marshmallows, an extra-helping!
As you wish, Master!
"Don't stuff me with so many, you oaf" is it, Master?
"Try and control yourself a little, you idiotic woman" is it, Master?
"Well, I'm going on a patrol around the fields" he says.
If you'll excuse us.
S-Sure...
Master, I'll come with you.
What's that?
Let me explain.
Bossun sure can act like a kid.
And he doesn't seem to understand.
Yeah, definitely.
About Bossun, Himeko-chan has always...
He's really someone to rely on in a pinch, isn't he?
I suppose this is Himeko-chan's way of thanking him?
Candy.
Here.
There you go, Master.
A mackerel-miso flavored Pelocan for you.
And it looks like Himeko is the one having more fun.
I bet she doesn't realize it herself, though.
Hey, why a Pelocan?!
Hand over some candy that actually tastes good!
This is the only candy I know!
What's that?! Are you talking back to me?
You're so useless...
A ball!
Himeko!
Whoa, that was close!
A-Are you okay?
Yes, Master...
I'm sorry! Are you okay?
Hey, that was dangerous!
If it weren't for me, she might be dead!
Bossun.
What? Address me as "Master", as is appropriate for a servant.
Bossun. Why is your right hand okay?
Stop, stop!
Your hand's fit as a fiddle!
What the hell is this?
Weren't your fingers broken?!
You tricked me?!
Oh, not tricked...
I went to the hospital, see...
'Cause my fingers were like, dislocated...
And it really hurt like heck, see...
They snapped 'em back...
I didn't cry!
So like, my fingers weren't really broken, but I was told not to move 'em,
and the doctor wrapped me with this big ol' bandage...
Huh? Are you listening?
I-I'm your master, remember?
W-Why are your eyes shining this whole time?
Master.
Yes?
It has been a pleasure serving you.
I will be taking my leave now.
C-Can you get a tissue for me?
Get it yourself.
Would you go on a date with me?
Go on one yourself.
Hey, why not?
Dress in a maid outfit for me, too!
Enough already. You're annoying.
But it's not like you have a boyfriend or a crush, right?
No, I don't.
Then why not?
At least a date!
I said enough! You're so annoying!
Himeko-san, is it...
Maybe you're going out with Bossun-san after all?
You still buy that crap?!
I said cut it out already, you're annoying!
Me and Bossun ain't like that, got it?!
B-Behind you! It's Bossun-dan!
Don't lie, you baboon!
He really is.
Welcome.
You're here.
Hey, check me out, Himeko.
If I draw these lines on my face, I totally look like a robot!
An idiot! You look like an idiot!
Can I draw your eyes, too?
My eyes?
Sure, fine.
This is suspicious.
Good!
Now then, shall we head to the clubroom?
Switch said he had other plans today, didn't he?
He did?
Oh, Jin! You wanna come with?
Have some tea or something.
Seriously?!
Sure.
So if I'm coming over, can I observe your club activities?
Huh? Observe our activities?
See, I was thinking your Sket-dan looked like a fun club... I can't?
Well, look here, Jin...
I'm just gonna say it. There's no point in you observing.
I'll be fine!
But when we don't have a request, we don't do anything.
We do, like, origami.
I don't care... Wait, origami?
Yes, origami.
Anyway, I'll make sure not to get in your way!
Just pretend I'm not there!
Or rather, ignoring me would be exactly what I want!
How about it?
Well, if you insist.
You sure? We're really going to ignore you.
Yes!
Um, Bossun-san...
Can you see in front of you?
Here.
Those two get along too well...
I'll watch 'em like a hawk to see if they're going out or not!
So like I was saying...
Nakatani-san from Class A lost five kilos on a diet!
Isn't that awesome?
Yeah...
That girl really has sticktoitiveness!
I bow to her.
And you better lay off the sweets so much or you're gonna get fat.
What, are you gonna lay down?!
After what I just gone done sayin'!
You're a cow, you know that?!
Huh?
Just don't come cryin' to me if you fall asleep with an uncovered belly again.
Jeez, you're annoying...
It's not annoying! I'm telling you for your own good!
You want a cushion?
Nah, it's cool.
Oh, tea? I'll go pour us some.
All-righty...
Y'know, you're lucky. We just got some good tea.
Hold on a second...
Here.
Careful, it's hot.
Good, right?
We got it from Yabasawa-san.
It's different, yeah?
The taste is totally different!
She really brought us the good stuff!
Ow...
My neck is killing me...
Now what's wrong?!
Maybe an aftereffect of that last injury?
I offered to get you a cushion, didn't I?
Forget about the cushion! It's a pain in the ass...
What's a pain in the ass?! I'm the one who's gonna get it for you!
Just hold on a sec...
I brought over the one that I made in home ec in middle school.
Now where did I put it?
Oh, here it is!
Here ya go!
Don't you think I did a good job with this iron-on?
Meh, whatever...
I'll take anything, as long as it's soft.
What is this? A bear? A rat?
Dumbass! It's a mongoose!
Mongoose?! Why?!
To be honest, I wanted to do a cat...
You know how I like cats, right? They're so cute...
But I couldn't draw a cute cat...
You can't really draw a mongoose either...
There you go again with that!
If you draw me a cat, I'll make an iron-on out of it.
What kind of collaboration is that?
Oh, did you hear?
Nakatani-san from Class A has cats.
Four of them! Isn't that awesome?
What are you...
...an old married couple?!
Are you two married?!
Huh?!
Like I can just watch and not say anything!
I can't hold back anymore!
I'm gonna come right out with it! You two go beyond boyfriend-girlfriend! You must be married!
Hey! You spilled on my uniform!
Listen...
You two just don't notice it.
But anyone can see that you're a couple.
Whoa, whoa. I can't let that pass.
How could anyone think we're a couple?
One look tells the whole story!
You're in the same club,
but a guy and girl just aren't this clingy with each other unless they're going out!
I'm not clingy!
Alright, fine.
You're killin' my mood saying crap like that.
I'm done talkin' to Himeko!
Excuse me?!
What the hell?! In that case, I'm not talkin' to you either!
Wait a second!
I didn't mean for this to happen!
And so,
we've gotten a request from the Biology Club.
They apparently don't have any members who are good at carpentry,
so they've asked us to build them one.
I'll leave it to you two.
What's the idea acting like you're the boss?!
Okay. This should do for the design...
Excellent. You're awesome, Bossun!
Yeah! That is awesome, Bos...
Are those two fighting?
Not exactly...
Those two are a pain, aren't they?
I cut through this board.
What the hell? This is harder than I thought...
Hang in there, Himeko! (chuckle)
Why are you watchin' me?!
No good! I can't get it!
Huh?
He's good at it...
Ow!
What happened, Bossun?!
I just cut my finger on a nail...
It's no biggie.
W-What's this?
Tell him to throw it away if he doesn't need it, Switch.
I'm surprised you walk around carrying band-aids.
I thought of you as more of a rougher girl.
What's that?!
What?
I-I have my feminine side, ya know...
I do know.
W-What's that mean?!
You don't know anything about me!
Yes, I do!
Like the fact that you gave milk to an abandoned dog by the river!
Y-You saw that?!
I-I just happened to be walking by that way!
Huh? Bossun, maybe you were worried about that dog, too?
That doesn't matter now.
Let's just hurry up and get this birdhouse built!
The sun's gonna go down.
What is this, first love?!
Are you shy middle school students in the bloom of first love?!
What?!
I've got a crush on her, but are you two so shy and self-conscious you can't talk normally to each other?!
You know very well he doesn't have a bad opinion of you,
but you're too embarrassed to be honest, so you start an argument,
which you get a kick out of! Or is that the best part for you?!
What's with this guy?!
I've had enough...
Either way, I knew that Himeko-san wasn't interested in me...
I just wanted to see what Bossun-san's relationship with her is...
But after watching them today, I get it.
There's no getting between them.
Hmm...
I do understand your feelings, Jin-kun.
But articulating their relationship is not an easy thing to do.
Bossun is a good guy
and he does have a mature side to him,
but overall, as you can see, he's childish.
I think he really doesn't understand his feelings.
On the other hand, Himeko is... To be honest, I don't really know.
She's not that simple-minded.
The foundation of Himeko's attachment to Bossun
is a special emotion that is impossible for others to know.
You could call it a debt to Bossun for leading her here.
More than friendship or love,
I'd wager that her feelings for him started out closer to gratitude or respect.
Therefore, her feeling of wanting to be helpful to Bossun takes precedence.
I understand that because it's the same way with me.
Perhaps Himeko herself doesn't understand her deepest emotions,
and it looks like she's not trying to understand them.
So don't go poking around.
She's happy the way things are.
At least for now...
Their relationship is so complicated, it's over my head...
Indeed.
But at any rate, those two don't have a good grasp of it either.
They're not sweethearts, friends, and of course not a married couple...
But if I had to express it in one word...
I suppose I could only say they have a "bond".
Wow!
I see...
Well, I don't have much to go on...
But I'm not giving up!
Even if I can't beat the Sket-dan bond, romance is a different matter.
Can I drop in on the club again?
Yeah, sure.
Good luck! (chuckle)
That was sarcastic, wasn't it?
You're gonna eat dropped food off the floor again?!
No problem! Tatami's safe!
Huh? What the hell? Look at those toenails!
How could you let them get this long?!
These look like the feet of an oni child!
Nobody ever died of long toenails!
What's that?!
You're using that line again?!
Forget it, we're gonna cut 'em. Now where'd I put my nail clippers?
Here they are.
I said don't worry about it, old woman!
Who you callin' "old woman"?!
Who do you think you're talkin' to?!
Are you mother and son?!
