It's a pleasant day today, isn't it? Seiyu.
It's about time.
Kazuki-chan. Wake up now, or you'll be late.
Okay...
Are you awake, Kazuki?
Kazuki!
Put me down!
Please be quiet.
Yuuji! You are really becoming more and more of a beast!
Oh my, you failed again?
And to think that I unlocked the windows for you.
Hey Hatsune-san, please help me.
One more chance.
Good morning Niina,
Be sure to eat everything!
Mama
Nee-chan, are you having fun with all of this again!?
Please help me. Wah, my underwear!
Pervert!
What a lively house.
Okay, let's all stop and have breakfast.
Ah! Marie-chan.
So, that's Marie-chan's house.
Nyaa~
Oh my.
Oh, I see. A cat.
What's wrong with the cat?
Excuse me.
What's wrong, Marie-chan?
Hi! To everyone in Marie-chan's family.
Good Morning!
Morning...
If I'm not mistaken, you are from the middle school.
Yessiree... and since yesterday, I have become Marie-chan's close friend.
My name is Isokawa Niina.
Arisu?
Marie-chan's close friend?
Marie-chan, good morning.
I'm a little bit envious. May I join you all?
Please be our guest. Welcome, Niina-chan.
Thank you, Onee-sama. From this day on, I'm part of your family.
Yoroshiku. Please.
Me too.
Marie-chan!
Well, let me explain this from the beginning.
Because of circumstances, we are only eating at our neighbors' house,
and are indebted to Kazuki-san and Hatsune-oneesama.
We are not staying together.
You're so pretty, Marie-chan!
I want to eat you up.
I'll go on ahead, excuse me.
Marie-chan, wait up.
Do you have something to do? If so, I can lend you a hand.
Oh, I won't lose in a race. DASH! LET'S GO! FIGHT!
Niina-chan sure is an "interesting" girl.
She's the type that Marie hates the most.
She's really bad with persistent people who meddle in her life.
For example... something like this!
Wait up.
My butt is ruined...
Hey, hey, hey, Marie-chan!
Would you like your salmon roe salted or unsalted?
Salted.
Wait up, Marie-chan.
Did you know? The jam and croquet breads sold at the cafeteria here are great!
Every type of bread gets sold out during lunch time.
This caused a lot of concern, and more was requested...
Hey, hey, hey, Marie-chan!
Would you like a vacuum cleaner or an electric fan?
A vacuum cleaner.
Wa, wait up, Marie-chan.
If you ever feel sleepy during class, the infirmary we just passed by is the place to go.
There are two beds, and the mattresses are soft.
And if the school nurse is in a good mood, she'll sing you a lullaby.
The first time I met Isokawa-san was yesterday.
My impression of her as a kind and gentle classmate vanished in a mere thirty seconds.
And then the nightmare began.
I'm Isokawa Niina. Please call me Niina.
Hello.
Wanna look at the textbook?
Thank you very much.
Wanna read comics? I have an album too.
My mother is American and my father is Japanese.
So I'm a half.
Hey, hey, Marie-chan, Marie-chan.
Do you cut your nails short or long?
Short.
Wa, wait up, Marie-chan.
If you want to use the restroom, I recommend the one on the third floor.
They recently added a shower to it.
I'll take you there.
No, thanks.
This pool is used by the middle- and high-schoolers.
Wow, amazing! Are we going flower-viewing today?
Onee-chan, just how many people did you expect to be eating this?
Here's your lunch. If you think it's too much for you, please share it with Yuuji-kun, okay?
There's no way I can finish this.
But I can!
Let's eat.
What's wrong, Kazuki?
We'll eat after Chihaya gets here.
More importantly, did you behave yourself?
Don't tell me you did something perverted to all the girls in your class.
It's not like you need to be uptight like yesterday.
YES!
At least stop the perverted stuff. I beg of you.
About that...
What? Did you really do something?
Being uptight is tiresome, so I went to greet them as my real self today.
GOOD MORNING, everybody!
Who is that?
He looks familiar.
Is he your friend?
I don't know.
Another new transfer student?
Your sister is such a good cook.
When did you get here, Chihaya?
After getting Kagura to explain to everyone,
the girls didn't circle around me like yesterday.
You're really hurt, aren't you?
I'll console you, if it's okay with you.
Ouch... Ouch... Ouch...
That's because you were known for that!
If that's so, I'll attack everyone like I did in middle school.
Just stop it; you're making them hate me.
But, aren't you the only one who accepts me?
Who's "accepting" you!?
Beginning elimination.
This place is also shared by the middle- and high-schoolers.
Sometimes, squirrels can be found here, too.
And if you don't give them some of your food, they'll throw some nuts at you.
So, that's the Niina-san that you mentioned.
What a lively child.
Please do not come near me.
I can't get through them like this.
Marie-chan!
Isokawa-san?
My best friend, Marie-chan.
I was worried because I lost you.
My natural enemies just doubled.
Oh...
Oh? What's wrong, Marie-chan?
Marie-chan?
I've reached my limit.
Oh yeah, I've still got leftovers.
Is it this?
Sorry, I ate them during the lunch break.
I said "sorry."
But...
You're not gonna touch Marie-chan.
Isokawa-san.
Marie!
Kazuki! Any leftovers from the lunchbox we ate just now?
Eh? There are some left.
Thank you.
Here, have some fishpaste.
They all left.
It's all right now.
That's not like you.
Marie-chan?
Leave her.
Mare-chan hates cats?
Yeah. She doesn't like people who cling to her, either.
Marie-chan's socially crippled,
so the thought of having a friend visit is truly gratifying to her.
Yuuji!
Is that so?
And I thought I was being good friends with Marie-chan.
Oh no, please forget what I said.
I was joking, it's all a joke, okay?
Geez... What is he saying?
Oh yeah, why don't you come to our house for dinner tonight?
It's time to eat!
Isokawa-san.
Marie-chan.
Sorry to interrupt.
Niina-chan said that this is her first time making dumplings.
Marie-chan, come and help out too.
Okay.
Excuse me.
It seems that they're in an awkward state.
Sorry. Please go ahead first, Marie-chan.
Will those two be all right?
Well, whatever will be, will be.
We'll leave the dumplings to you two.
I love Chinese dumplings, meatbuns, Mabodofu, and also Pitan.
Eh? Me too.
You too, Marie-chan?
It was a mistake just now.
Actually, I hate the dumplings, meatbuns, Mabodofu, and Pitan.
The dumplings you made really are cute.
Battered dumplings...
Mother said that...
It is important for us to put our feelings into our cooking.
I hope this turns out delicious.
Thank you for waiting.
It's delicious here too!
Hatsune-kun, would you mind extending that slit and letting me have a better look?
Never mind... I'm really hungry.
Let's eat!
Who made this dumpling?
I did. I did the best I could, but it seems like I'm no match for Marie-chan.
Yuuji!
But, it's tasty.
Marie-chan, thank you.
It's nothing really.
It's really tasty.
I see.
And so, who made these beautiful-looking dumplings?
That would be me.
Tasty, aren't they?
How could you use the same ingredients yet wind up with such a nasty dumpling?
I put sour cream, natto, and strawberry jam in to add flavor...
Don't add those!
This is fun.
My father comes home late because of his job.
Because of that, I always eat alone.
And today, I'm very happy because I get to eat dinner with Marie-chan.
A question, if you don't mind.
Why do you like Marie-chan? She's socially incapable.
Because, she looks exactly like Rakkun.
Rakkun?
A stuffed animal?
It seems that Rakkun really looks like Marie-chan.
Marie had whiskers too?
Yes, yes, I've forgotten about tha... Wait, I don't think I have those.
I talked to Rakkun about everything that happened at school,
and of course I had talked about you too, Marie-chan.
Rakkun sees you as my number-one best friend.
Your bear is also cute, isn't she?
Thanks for protecting me from the cats back there.
And from now on, I guess it's okay for us to eat together once in a while.
Niina-san.
Thank you, Marie-chan. Love ya!
Glad to make your acquaintance.
Me too.
Marie-chan's big brother!
Thanks to you, we are true friends.
Thank you very much for everything.
Not really, it's my pleasure.
Too bad my little sister can't be this developed.
Just joking.
You are the worst!
Punishment from Heaven.
My home is really close by,
so don't worry.
Close by?
I don't think it matters how close...
It's right over there.
There?
You mean the top floor?
YES!
Very close.
You can be a good brother sometimes.
We are siblings, after all.
Have you changed your mind about me?
Have you fallen for me?
Not a chance!
Oh, Kazuki! Next time you should try wearing a Chinese dress, too!
The high-slit kind.
That has no relation to the Chinese dress.
Why not? You won't lose anything.
I'll help you change, too.
Hey! Marie!
It seems they're still at it, Rakkun.
Yoohoo, Niina, it's time for you to go to bed.
Okay!
Let's meet at school again tomorrow, Marie-chan.
Next Episode
Ah... the old Yuuji wasn't this perverted, but why...?
Personally, I like that kind of person.
It's like we're thinking on the same wavelength.
Eh
I'll Break Up With Him!
If you don't want him, then I'll take him.
Next, on Tonagura: I'll Break Up With Him!"
