If that's how you fell in love with me, it doesn't make me happy at all!
No... That's not it!
You just don't get it!
You really are insensitive. You're awful!
You're an awful person... Just awful!
I'm that bad?!
I'm done with you!
W-Wait!
Really...
He is an awful person.
Say, Suzu-chan, you shouldn't walk in the groovy leotard.
You mean, "You shouldn't talk in the movie theater", right?
Episode 68: Operation Love Potion
Who would've ever guessed that Onee-san was in love with Chuu-san!
But even if you're into him, how does Chuu-san feel about you?
That old man seems like he'd be a barbarian when it comes to love.
You shouldn't talk!
You shouldn't talk...
I mean, to be honest, I don't really know how my father feels,
but I think there's a chance.
Recently, the three of us do a lot of stuff together at my request,
and if I say I want to go with Onee-san, Dad never refuses.
He'll even even go where Onee-san wants to go.
It's probably too much trouble for him to say no.
Anyway, I love Onee-san and Onee-san loves my father!
I want Dad to remarry, so the best thing is for these two to get married!
Okay, that's your selfish take on it. It's all what you want!
Onee-san, are you against becoming my mom?
Uh-uh. I want to.
But Chuuma-sensei doesn't especially like Onee-san.
That's not true! My father really does care about you, too.
I can tell! He's just not good at showing his feelings!
So I want to help him with that.
Help him?
Uh-huh. I thought of a way to do it, too!
She's so innocent. It's hard to imagine Chuu-san being her father.
Dad is lying to himself.
But if we use this, I think he'll be able to honestly tell Onee-san that he loves her.
If we secretly make him swallow this love potion, Fallinlove...
Wait a second!
What's this? "Please read these instructions carefully before using this drug."
"Love potion, Fallinlove.
Use: The three components work together to suppress judgment and make the person lovesick.
1: Swallow solid type A without chewing it.
2: Next, within ten seconds, consume powder type B dissolved in hot water.
3: Within another ten seconds, drink liquid type C diluted with cold water.
4: The user will feel as if they've been struck by lightning. Touch part of their body and say your name.
Warning: Please use the correct dosage.
5: The person is your slave.
So you wanna use drugs to change his mind!
What's wrong with that?
If the matter can be solved with the power of chemistry, we should make use of it!
You really are Chuu-san's daughter.
Like father, like daughter...
But what's with this weird way of taking it?! Like dissolve B in hot water within ten seconds...
It's needlessly complicated!
Chuu-san will probably realize that we're trying to drug him.
Right. The biggest problem is making him take it naturally without finding out.
That's the part I want your help with.
Father is always saying that the members of Sket Dance are good at stuff like this.
I see. So that's why you came by. But this is a hard one. What do you think, Onee-san?
Do you really want Chuu-san to fall in love with you? Do you really love Chuu-san?
Even though I'm a blunderer, Chuuma-sensei always looks out for me.
He's blunt, but he's got a big heart and is very kind...
I-I wish I could become his wife.
That's all I needed to hear!
Sheesh. I still don't know what you see in that middle-aged old man...
There it is!
Concentration Mode!
My plan to make him take the love drug is complete.
I can't wait to hear this!
I wanna eat tangerine jelly.
Whoops! This isn't it...
First, we go to a restaurant and order hot soup, fish that has a lot of bones, rice, and cola.
And then what?
Then we slip solid type A into the rice,
put powder type B and chili powder in the hot soup,
and mix liquid type C into the cola.
If there are glasses of water on the table, drink all of it beforehand.
When Chuu-san eats the fish with all the bones, one will get caught in his throat.
The best way to get a bone out of your throat is by swallowing rice whole.
And when you give him that advice,
Chuu-san will swallow the rice without chewing it.
That clears drug A.
Wait a second. I listened quietly, but that plan is kind of pie-in-the-sky!
What do you mean?! It's perfect!
Certainly, there are many elements of uncertainty.
And there's no guarantee he would pick up the drug with the rice.
Well, for that...
We gotta make sure most of the rice is eaten
and then plant the drug in the last mouthful.
Like that wouldn't be suspicious behavior!
And in the first place, what kind of restaurant serves soup, grilled fish, and cola?!
What's with you two?! All you're doing is splittin' hairs!
Well, let's hear him out to the end.
A-Alright...
So Chuu-san will want water to wash down the rice.
But there's no water left, so having no other choice, he drinks the hot soup.
And that clears drug B!
He's gonna drink it?!
But as the soup has plenty of chili powder in it,
Spicy! Spicy! Give me water!,
Chuu-san will shout...
This is starting to sound like an old legend...
And without a moment's delay, the cola will be offered to him.
Here you go.
Chuu-san will drink all of the cola, clearing drug C.
Is this plan really gonna work?!
Then, while Chuu-san's body is quivering and spazzing out,
Onee-san will touch him and say her name...
Misora Remi!
His heart will be yours!
Alright, screw up some courage and take the challenge!
Then, the three of you can live happily ever after...
A nice happy ending.
Happy ending, my ass! That stuff will change the flavor of the soup!
Then they can just... order a spicy soup from the start!
We can figure that part out as we go!
No, that's never gonna work either! He'd be able to see that the soup was mushy!
Why do you keep complainin'?! After all these ideas I thought up...
Anyway, he did go to the trouble of thinking up a plan, so let's give it a shot!
Right, Onee-san?
R-Right...
Hey, Dad, I wanna go somewhere again on the weekend.
And if we can, I wanna eat at a restaurant.
Sure...
Hey, let's invite Onee-san, too! That's okay, isn't it?
Again? She's probably tired of seeing us.
Onee-san has to go, too!
Invite her! Invite her! Invite Onee-san! You gotta invite her! You gotta! You gotta! Please!
Um, on our next day off, you wouldn't be able to go out with us again, right?
Oh, if you can't, that's fine. It's just Suzu insisted that I invite you, so...
I already told her you don't have that kind of free time and that you couldn't go.
I can.
Inviting a young woman like you out every week, when I'm sure you've already got a date...
I told her we can't keep inviting you like this...
But I don't...
I don't mean to keep pestering you with invitations. I'll make sure Suzu understands...
I don't have any dates and I've got the time, so yes, I can go!
Okay...
The Big Day
Are you sure about this?
Yes, I don't mind at all. I had no plans anyway!
O-Okay...
So in the end, we came to watch...
Not like we had anything better to do...
My heart's throbbing and going pitter-pat all at the same time!
Hey, by the way, Suzu, where do you wanna go today?
I've got a place in mind...
Suzu-chan, now...
Okay!
Chuuma-sensei!
Aren't you hungry?
I'm hungry!
H-Hey, all of a sudden...?!
I'm starving!
I think I'm going to die of starvation!
I-Is that right? Fine, whatever. So, shall we get some lunch? What would you two like to eat?
I want Thai thom yum soup!
I want a hard-boiled flounder set!
Why? Why...? That's... really specific...
I just have to have some spicy soup!
I'm gonna die if I don't get a hard-boiled flounder set that has a lot of little bones!
What?! Why?!
And cola, too!
Yes! That's the way, you two.
F-Fine, whatever. But finding a restaurant will be tough.
Tom yam, flounder, and cola...
Um... Maybe a family restaurant? I don't know...
Anything and Everything
This looks like a restaurant that would have everything. Should we give it a try?
Yeah. We're lucky that the restaurant we want happens to be right here.
I'm Saotome Roman!
I got my Prince! Now I'll get to do more in the stories!
I'll be a regular!
Though this is all the screen time I get for this week...
They really did have it. Thom yum soup, hard-boiled flounder set, and cola...
A nice restaurant right when we needed it, huh?
Okay. Well, let's eat.
Wait!
What, Suzu?
Dad, please! I lost my taste for the hard-boiled flounder set,
so let me trade it for your hamburger steak!
Why?! You're the one that said you wanted it!
There you go. Now Chuu-san will get the flounder.
The next step is putting the drugs in the food.
Why am I stuck with the flounder? Ah, well. I'll eat it...
There's a UFO over there!
What the hell?! There isn't anything over there!
Sorry. I meant to say "ghost".
Oh, is that all? You just saw a ghost?! That's incredible, too!
Alright! Operation Love Potion, start!
Well, shall we eat? Flounder, huh? It's been a long time. Here I go...
The wandering ghost, Specter, is right behind you, Chuuma-sensei!
What?!
What do you keep going on about?! There's nothing!
Sorry. I meant to say there was a "spectacle".
Oh, I see. A spectacle?!
She just buried the bone.
Really, what are the chances that it'll get caught in his throat?
Don't ask me! Suzu planned this bit.
I think I have a bone stuck in my throat...
It worked!
Dad! I heard that when you have a bone stuck in your throat,
the best thing to do is eat rice without chewing it!
Oh, I see. No need to shout, though.
Then I'll eat the... Huh?! There's only one bite of rice left!
Onee-san, you ate it? Onee-san, you ate my rice?!
It just looked so good...
You should've ordered your own!
So this is the part where they leave just one mouthful of rice and put the pilll in it...
Onee-san...
W-Well, fine. What the hell? There's just one bite left...
Drug A
Yes! He swallowed drug A!
I think I got it. Huh?! There's no water either! Did somebody drink it?!
It just looked so good...
The water did?! Drink your own!
Mine and Onee-san's are both empty.
Why were you so thirsty?!
Hurry up! He's gotta have that thom yum soup within ten seconds!
Chuuma-sensei! Then why don't you have this thom yum soup?!
Just give me that cola.
Let me have a sip of that cola!
No, you can't. Not right now!
Not right now?! What do you mean, not right now?!
I wanna wash down the rice, so give it to me already!
Forget it!
Why?! What's so special about that cola?!
Chuuma-sensei! It's not nice to want other people's things!
Says the woman who ate my rice!
F-Five seconds left!
Please have my soup!
No thanks...
Hurry up!
Okay, just a little bit...
He drank drug B in time!
So spicy! Why the hell is this soup so spicy?!
I put in plenty of my own chili powder. I love my food spicy!
Next, cola, in ten seconds or less! Hurry!
I-I want some water. Excuse me, one oolong tea.
Certainly.
Wait, Dad!
I'll give you my cola.
Why?! Before, you refused!
You can have it now.
Just drink it already, old man! The time's almost up!
You didn't put some weird drug in here, did you?
Of course not!
Are you sure?!
Just drink it!
Yes! He drank drug C!
There it is! Like he's having a seizure!
I can't look! It's too scary!
Onee-san, now! Touch his hand and say your name!
What do you think, Onee-san? Do you really want Chuu-san to fall in love with you?
If that's how you fell in love with me, it doesn't make me happy at all!
Onee-san...
I-I'm sorry...
Huh? Did I just lose consciousness?
I wonder what my Fallinlove was doing in Suzu's bag...
Boy... What was that all about today?
Hey, Dad...
Aren't you ever gonna get remarried?
I want a mom...
Don't tell me...
Maybe I'll get some air...
I'm sorry, after everything you did to help...
Nah. I can understand why you didn't go through with it.
At first, Onee-san was really into the plan too,
but after thinking about it a lot, realized that this way was a mistake,
Onee-san has given many things a lot of thought.
Like people's feelings, marriage...
...and just how much I love Chuuma-sensei.
That's all the more reason I can't accept help for this one thing.
Onee-san wants to do her best by herself!
Ice don't need any jug plant!
You mean, "I don't need any love potion", right?
That was really stretching it...
So that's what was going on.
Chuu-san!
U-Um... Um... I...
Chuu-san, sorry! We're the ones that...
Stay out of this, Sket!
Was everything you just said true?
Yes.
I'm so sorry!
Well, I'm sure Suzu put you up to it.
The girl is smart, but she uses her intelligence in all the wrong ways.
She's like me that way. I'm sorry she brought this mess on.
That's not it! Suzu-chan knew how I felt, so she was trying to help me!
You were just egged on is all.
Wrong!
It's not like that.
Chuu-san...
Shut it, kid.
Onee-san said she doesn't need anyone's help.
She said that since she loves you, it's pointless if she doesn't do it herself.
I'm still a kid, so to be honest, I don't really know what love is about,
but I know that what Onee-san feels is real.
I wanna be like that someday...
When there's someone that I love, I wanna have strong feelings like that.
Me too...
Onee-san...
Last night, Suzu said something strange.
I want a mom...
I want you to marry again, but not so I'll have a mother.
Dad, I want you to marry someone that you love.
She knows everything.
What I'm always thinking about and the feelings that I have...
Marry me!
Y-You're suddenly proposing?! That was fast!
What's with the sudden burst of spirit, old man?!
Onee-san! He proposed to you!
Wow, a couple with an age difference! Hurry up and say something!
N-No.
Regarding Chuu-san's sudden proposal, she said,
"It's ridiculous for two people to get married without even dating"
and so reasonably rejected him,
but the two are currently dating with marriage on the horizon.
So Chuu-san is 33 and Onee-san is 27...
I'm surprised at both their ages...
Chuu-san and Onee-san are gonna get married, huh?
I can't imagine how their married life would be.
Yeah, I know. Married life...
I love cats, right? I wanna have a cat with my husband. Cats are cute, aren't they?
My husband and I will remove its fleas together. Can you imagine?!
Don't we have any teacakes around here?
Oh, I know, I know! The cat's name!
What do you think about this? "Skebu". What do you think? "Skebu"!
Let's go, to the toilet!
Sket Dance!
I can't hold on! Gotta take a dump! Gotta take a huge dump!
Where the hell is that comin' from?!
I'm sure even Tsubaki's suddenly wanted to pinch a loaf before!
Wha...?!
Right now, the only thing on my mind is the future of the Student Council!
Yeah, well, right now, the only thing in my intestines is poop!
Enough of that talk!
Anyway, what's important right now is the Student Council!
No, it's poo!
Leave me out of it!
But next time:
Poop's in Heaven, So Come, Student Council!
So you see, the story will be about poop and the Student Council.
Yeah!
This showdown is worst-erful!
