Am I the guy Inami is in love with?
He's encouraging me to be romantic with somebody else...
Yeah, but...
...it could just be a coincidence.
Still...
I-Idiot...
When Inami cried then, it had to be because...
And yet...
I'm sorry...
And yet... And yet, and yet, and yet, and yet, and yet, and yet...
W-Water down my back!
Course 6 Yamada, Yama-da!
Are you okay?
I-I'm fine, Katanashi.
I was spacing out...
But that's a clean rag.
Yamada! Yamada!
I am so sorry!
Excuse me...
Good morning...
Ah, Inami...
The changing room! The changing room!
I am so sorry!
Good morning, Inami.
Um...
By way of apology for my big sister's meddling
and my insensitive comments...
...please take this. It's not much, but...
That's a cute hairpin.
You didn't have to do that, though...
Thank you, Takanashi.
I know that you like...
...hairpins!
Cute.
Maybe I'll take good care of it by putting it away for a while, and then I'll use it.
She really does like... hairpins...
Maybe admitting the truth would be easier.
Souma...
What are you talking about?
Oh, you're gonna make me spell it out?
I won't name the two people involved...
...but I'm talking about an admittance of love!
Now I know exactly how Satou feels!
Tell me, Takanashi! Talk to me!
Oh, boy... What the heck am I supposed to do?
Katanashi...
You don't look well...
Oh, Taneshima... Sorry...
It's okay! I'll pick up your slack!
I'm training to be a good big sister!
So if you don't feel well, take a break!
Taneshima...
Yamada will also pick up your slack to incur a favor for later!
I have to pull myself together!
Letting Taneshima worry about me, having to owe Yamada a favor...
I need to get back to normal...
Now that I think about it, there's a 90% chance that Inami likes me...
And recently, I have been thinking that she's cute,
but I didn't realize I would dwell on it so much...
Then I'm also in lo– uh, with Inami?
Katanashi!
Katanashi! You're bleeding! You're bleeding!
It's okay! I forgot the whole thing!
Now let's get back to work.
There's no way he's okay...
No good... There are just too many things I can't accept...
For now, I'll just stop thinking.
I'll interact with Inami the way I always do.
Good work.
Well, shall we go?
Sure...
She looks so happy...
This is just training for you to get over your hatred of men!
Shall we go?
Why are you repeating yourself?
Satou and Todoroki on one hand...
Takanashi and Inami on the other...
Their relationships are changing.
And I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Except!
Both of those guys are so tight-lipped that the flow of information is less than a trickle.
So what should I do about it?
Aren't you forgetting about someone?
It's Yamada!
Yamada! Wh-What are you doing?
No, what are you doing, Souma?
Pay attention to Yamada!
You haven't been giving Yamada any attention lately!
Give Yamada some attention, big brother!
"Big brother," huh?
Your big brother is dropping you off at day-care.
He fobbed Yamada off...
Why?! Why Yamada?! When Yamada wants attention from him?!
Calm down, Aoi.
Yachiyo, what should Yamada do to get attention from Souma?
W-Well...
For example, you could do something that would help him...
That would help him...
Salacious details, huh?
Yamada is on her way!
Aoi, what about work?
Takanashi! Yamada has a question.
What is it, Yamada? About work? That's unusual...
Did something happen between you and Inami?
No, nothing.
Then why did you give me a chop?
Yachiyo!
Oh, Aoi. Did Souma pay attention to you?
Did something happen between you and Satou?
Show me with Daisy!
Um... That's kind of...
Why not?
Did he do something you didn't like?
Was it unpleasant?
N-No, it wasn't unpleasant!
He didn't do anything I didn't...
Then you can re-enact it, right?
Come on!
Let's go!
O-Okay...
I'll do it!
Wait a second!
Hey, Souma!
What?
Yamada is invading people's privacy.
Yamada?
So I'm going to hit you.
Why?
Lack of supervision.
That's not fair!
Um, Yamada?
Why did you do that?
Yamada wanted attention from you...
...so Yamada tried to get information that would be helpful to you.
Yamada...
Yamada thought you would definitely be pleased with salacious details...
You thought I'd definitely be pleased...
So...
Yamada wants to be with you and also likes salacious relationships.
Yamada wants to join your club.
Sorry, Yamada. I was cold to you before.
Together, let's enjoy the voyeuristic thrill
of this family restaurant's salacious relationships!
Souma!
Something about this is annoying,
but it's nice to see you two get better acquainted.
Yeah, well...
And so...
Satou, did something happen between you and Todoroki?
So much has been going on that I haven't had time to relax.
What would be soothing?
That's it! I'll pet Taneshima!
A smile from Taneshima will send my exhaustion flying!
Taneshima!
Has something happened?
Nothing.
But...
Katanashi, would you not talk to me, please?
Taneshima!
Is Popura in a bad mood?
Looks like it...
Medicine?
That's stomach medicine...
Stomach medicine...
Satou is always taking it.
In other words...
...a side effect of the stomach medicine is making her grumpy?
The science of medicine isn't all that advanced.
Then...
Frankly, it's stress and a stomachache!
Taneshima is angry.
Angry?
Recently, people here haven't been focusing on their work.
In the meantime, Taneshima has
been working as hard as she can to pick up everyone's slack.
Yamada has been watching Taneshima the whole time, so Yamada understands!
I'm not in a position to say this, but get to work, Yamada!
T-Taneshima...
This is a treat from all of us.
Sorry. Now is not a good time.
Th-Then...
...would you like a parfait?
Or maybe a meal...?
It isn't something that can be solved with food!
Did someone say food?
What are you two doing?
Manager... It's our fault that Taneshima is...
Taneshima?
That hurt!
What did you do that for, Kyoko?!
Your cheeks were puffed-up.
Jeez! My canker sore hurts!
Even though I was trying to keep my teeth from touching it!
I'm sorry, Taneshima.
Sorry.
I'm glad she wasn't angry, anyway.
True. But about work, we do need to get back on the ball.
That's right. All of you need to get back on the ball!
And you need to stop raising false alarms!
Certainly.
Oh, Nazuna.
Interning again?
Yes. Between Taneshima's canker sore and now a cavity,
she's got a fever so she took the day off.
My brother told me about it
and suggested I take on her duties, so I'm here to help.
Are you awake...
...Witch Girl Popura?
Yamada, what are you doing?
It's obvious.
Finished.
Now you understand, don't you?
No, I don't.
This is...
...a magic circle!
A magic circle?
That's right.
I'm going to use it to summon Otoo.
You can summon him?
I can!
I'm back!
See?!
Otoo! Welcome home!
I-I'm back...
Hey, Yamada! Quit screwing around!
Otoo! Welcome back!
I'm back.
Welcome back.
I'm back.
Who are you?
Nice to meet you. I'm Nazuna Takanashi.
Then you're Takanashi's... older sister?
Older Sister
Younger sister.
Younger sister?
But Takanashi is a first-year high school student, so...
I'm a sixth-grader.
An elementary school student?!
Shirafuji, is that all right?
It's fine. I'm not paying her.
Sorry about this.
Nazuna said she wants real-life experience.
B-But aren't there various problems associated with it?
No problem.
If anything...
...the problem is paying Yamada for her so-called work here.
Excuse me?!
Y-Yamada works harder than any elementary school student!
How's that?
Yamada can get things done when necessary, right?
Satou, you're tiny!
And "Witch Girl"?
Calm down, Taneshima.
Takanashi, the Demon King, shrunk humans all across the land.
You can see the unsightly results right here.
You can call me the Sugar Fairy.
You're the only one who can save this world.
So with this stick...
All right, all right, all right...
That's kind of shabby.
You're excited, huh, Yamada?
That's because Yamada's father, Otoo, has come home.
Otoo is your father?
That's right.
Well, you still have a long way to go,
but you're trying hard in your own way, so I'd be willing to make you a cousin.
I'll think about it!
Nazuna, um... Sorry about that.
Otoo's back, so she's acting cocky.
I'll bawl her out later on.
Yamada... is cute, isn't she?
You like cute things, Sota, so don't you find Yamada cute?
She's not cute!
Sure she is. Short...
...and it's also cute how she's lacking in human nature.
H-Human nature?
Shrink! Shrink!
I'll shrink everything in the world!
Katanashi! That's enough!
All right...
You don't shrink everybody in the world! That's bad!
Beautiful Witch Girl Popura fights for love and justice!
Beautiful?!
A bad boy like you...
...needs to be punished!
Special attack! Popura Beam!
The beam doesn't work on him!
Otoo has come home and Souma is in the palm of Yamada's hand.
The age is smiling on Yamada.
...is probably what she's thinking.
Yamada, if you get too cocky, it'll come back to bite you in the end.
Wh-Where is that coming from?
Yamada is always focused.
It's written all over your face.
Inami!
It figures...
Yamada, stay in the attic for a while.
What'll happen if Yamada comes down?
I won't be your big brother anymore.
A family breakdown?!
It seems you timed your visit to coincide with Inami's shift.
I told you not to do that!
Sheesh...
Then you'll do, Takanashi!
Takanashi!
I'll do?!
Y-Yamada, shouldn't you be searching for your little sister?
About that...
It was on my mind all day, until after school...
And from then to now, it completely slipped your mind, huh?
That's right!
But my other objective in coming here is to meet Yamada...
a girl I've only seen in a photo!
Wait a second!
Huh? It's a lie?
Souma lied. That's not the real Yamada.
Please forget about the girl in the photo.
I see...
Then I wanna meet the fake Yamada!
I told you to forget about it!
You're meeting "her" right now...
So Souma lied to distract me from the real Yamada...
I hope she's cute.
I thought you were hoping she's your little sister!
Souma, where's Yamada?
She's not here right now.
Where'd she go when she's supposed to be working?
Maybe you should give up on her for the day...
Forget it!
I want Yamada to meet Yamada so he stops coming here.
Maybe you should give up on her for the day...
Why are you suddenly threatening me?!
Incidentally, when you shoot magic out of that stick, you shrink more and more.
B-But I can't afford to give up...
Look how tiny I've become!
Throb!
That was scary!
I have a bad feeling...
What's wrong, Souma?
Nothing.
It looks to me like Souma doesn't want me to meet Yamada!
I bet this Yamada is totally cute!
Think a little bit...
...about your younger sister!
It sounds like they're having fun down there.
Daisy!
Don't step on Daisy!
Jeez, now she's got a footprint on her!
For crying out loud! Who are...
A-A-Aoi...
Aoi... I've been looking for you!
Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Yamada isn't Aoi.
Huh? Where's Aoi?
Hey...
A-Aoi...
What is this? They're siblings?
I-I don't believe it...
They look so alike that it's embarrassing we didn't realize it before!
But isn't "Yamada" a fake name?
Fake name...
Aoi, too?!
You're using a fake name, too?!
Um, then the "Yamada" Yamada used was a fake name,
so I didn't think she was Yamada's little sister.
Come on! Anyway, we're going home, Aoi!
No way! Help!
And like Yamada, Yamada used "Yamada" as a fake name...
Let's go!
Who cares about that?! Won't anyone help me?!
Help you? He's your big brother.
What are you talking about?! Only Souma is Yamada's big brother!
Then Souma is my big brother, too?
Don't even go there.
Souma, please help! Yamada doesn't know this boy!
I was worried about you, Aoi!
Stranger...
How's Mom doing?
Mom is sick with worry!
Then Yamada is sure you're a stranger!
Aoi!
Who is this boy?
Yamada lives here at the restaurant!
Right, everyone?
No, you should probably go home.
That's right. Your family is worried about you.
They are not!
For example, this guy's chief concern is chasing tail!
I don't know what you're talking about.
Souma, you're Yamada's ally, right?
Why did you come out of the attic?
U-Um... I dropped Daisy. And then...
Go home.
Yamada, go home for now.
I can't do that! I have to take her with me!
Just go home. Otherwise...
...I'm going to put this wig on someone's head.
Go home, Yamada!
Yamada, cheer up.
We'll take good care of Yamada here.
Thank you, Takanashi.
You're my best friend for a reason...
Hey, don't go overboard.
I thought it was lively over here, but that's what it was about.
Sorry.
I took it upon myself to hide Yamada.
Well...
If he'd dragged her home unwillingly
and the situation became worse, that wouldn't be good, either.
Otoo will take responsibility for her.
After finding his long-lost sister,
he ends up in a strange living arrangement with a girl and her guardian.
Course 7 Goodbye Yamada
