Episode 8 We're In Our Second Year Now
It looks like our class is basically the same this year.
Yeah!
Great news!
You wanna recruit new club members?
Or do you wanna have a Mario Kart tournament?
Mario Kart!
Yeah!
Morning!
Our class is almost the same as before.
Yeah! Isn't it nice?
Yeah.
You gonna be committee chairman again this year?
Or do you wanna have a Mario Kart tournament?
What?
Aikawa.
Looking forward to another year together.
Me too!
Sure. Me too.
When I set foot into tomorrow and look up at the sky
A bright light reaches out for me and takes my hand
Yuyushiki
My bag drifts in a gentle breeze

The slanting sunlight greets me again today
And gently wraps itself around
The aroma drifting in from around the corner
Come on, break into a run
Mom
Face new encounters
And you'll see the scenery reflect your feelings
Friends
Step across the shadow creeping in from the window
And you'll see that smiling circle in the sky

When I set foot into tomorrow and look up at the sky
I see a bright light shining far and wide
It shows me that there are always miracles waiting for me
So I set foot into tomorrow and jump out on the count of three
I wanna kick off our second year by doing something that really shines!
Yeah.
Like throw out the opening pitch?
Maybe something doable?
A major league opening pitch!
That's the same thing! And even less doable!
Huh? But I wanna do something that's not doable.
Yeah!
Listen, Yui, wanting to do what's not doable is a part of human—
Knock it off.
Darn it!
I guess I'll just get ready for class, then!
Good idea.
Oh, I must do it, yet my heart tells me it doesn't want to.
That's just as important.
Oh well. Forget getting ready for class.
Are you sure?
Things that seem least doable are the things I want to do.
That's how high school girls like me think.
Maybe I'll try to get Mrs. Mom to cry or something!
Don't get excited!
Listen, Yui, excitement is a part of human—
Knock it off and get ready for class!
How did you all like your first year?
We did so much!
Sports day, the culture festival...
The only summer we'll experience as first years!
Christmas!
The hotpot at Mom's house!
There was a lot... it seems!
The culture festival...
It feels so long ago.
That was great, the Fiery Hot House!
There was the "fire soba" yakisoba.
I had the fi-yah soba!
That was a take on Okinawan soba, right?
I went for the frankfires.
You didn't even try to be creative with that one.
You just gave up.
We went to the summer festival!
In yukatas!
Yui got hit on.
Just like the year before.
Sheesh...
I'm gonna pass on festivals this year.
I don't like them. They're annoying.
Wanna have a Smash Brothers tournament, then?
Smash Brothers!
Yeah!
Today's basketball, right?
It's a scrimmage! Let's give it all we got!
Hey...
When I woke up this morning, I felt like I'd gotten a little stronger!
What are you laughing about?
Okay! One more time—
Huh?
You okay? Need a nap?
Can I just grab a quick one, then?
So tired!
I want another hour of gym!
Didn't even have the energy to stop her.
Ichii, I'm sorry about earlier, in gym.
Oh, it's fine.
You don't play ball sports often, do you, Aikawa?
No...
Not often...
But you've got those two big balls of your own.
Just kidding! I didn't really mean that!
Something feels weird here.
Wanna have a Smash Brothers tournament, then?
Okacchi!
That's gross!
What are you doing, Hasegawa?
Don't sleeve it on my uniform!
Puns...
What's wrong? You look down.
Huh?
Squeeze out a little cheer.
It's not coming out of there, idiot!
Jeez.
You actually like Chiho, don't you, Kei?
Huh?
Like her?
See?
Chiho really looks happy.
Mew.
I'm so hungry!
We've got Japanese next.
Mom!
Yes?
Make her cry...
Make her cry?
Can't do it.
Hey, Mom, what scares you or grosses you out?
Huh? Let me see.
Bugs and insects and things like that.
There's also...
Whenever there's a student who can't come to school anymore,
it's a bit hard on me.
Can't do it!
Totally can't!
Bye, Mom!
Bye!
Hey.
Why do you think a good teacher like Mom got stuck being advisor to such a pathetic club?
To make it a proper club?
That's not possible!
What are you talking about?
It used to be a proper club.
I see.
I think we're the ones who ruined it.
If we remember, let's ask Mom next time we see her.
Sure.
What color her panties are!
No, about the club!
What should we do for club today?
What's our topic?
President?
She's not used to the title.
Yukari?
President! Choose our topic!
President!
I can't produce one on demand!
Then we won't demand anything else from you.
That's right. That's for the best.
It's okay, Yukari.
You don't have to worry now.
People who aren't in demand...
How sad.
Maybe it is.
Today's topic: people! Humans!
There it is!
You can only produce one when there's no demand?
That's tough!
Yeah!
People, huh?
Stuff like how the human body is 60-70% water, huh?
Then today's topic is water!
Another one!
The ideas come welling up! Just like water!
Water
Water intoxication.
A lethal dose of water for a 65 kilogram person is 10 liters in a day.
Really?
Oh, I've heard of that!
Things you need, but not that badly. That kinda thing?
There's stuff like that, isn't there?
That kinda thing?
Like putting on too much ketchup!
Like slapping on too much mayo!
Which would win in a fight, mayo or ketchup?!
I wonder which!
No one cares!
The scientific name for water is "oxidane," it says.
Really? That doesn't make me think of water.
It totally doesn't bring water to mind.
"Pour oxidane over dumplings, then cover." Like that?
Sounds gross.
"Adding starch to the oxidane will cause them to grow wings!"
They mutate?
It says you can also call it "dihydrogen monoxide."
That's terrifying!
If you consume 10 or more liters of dihydrogen monoxide in a day...
You could die... right?
No...
...kidding!
It says that Jupiter's second moon, Europa, might actually contain liquid water.
And its underground oceans might actually contain life!
There might be Europans!
I really don't want to meet them! I'd be scared!
If you apply enough pressure to ice, it'll melt and turn to water.
Really?
Abnormal liquids, right?
Yeah.
Water has less volume as a liquid than as a solid, so as an abnormal liquid, if you squeeze it hard enough, it'll melt.
The tighter you hold it, the less you're able to hold it tight...
Water...
I guess it's time for the summary?
Yeah...
I guess so.
Water
It's scary, yet sad.
Like a crying red ogre.
Water
It's a blue ogre.
Water is an ogre?
I guess not.
Ogres
They're scary, yet sad.
Ogres now?!
Yuyushiki!
I'd like to do just one clean dropkick!
Fine, but just one!
A low-angle dropkick.
You'll screw up your knees that way.
What about a Dragon Screw?
Fine, but just one!
You'll screw up your knees!
What if I held your knees tight, like this?
Fine...
Tell her no!
But Yukari wants to do it!
Are you a bad mother? Take better care of your knees!
They are important!
Oh! You're saying we should take better care of ourselves?
You think I'm a monk, now?
No! You're a high school girl!
I know that!
I'm sorry I made you retort on everything.
Are you annoyed?
No, not really.
Yui, are you the type that likes to retort?
Well, if I had to pick...
Yui, boobs!
Shut up.
Morning.
Morning!
Hasegawa?
Call me Fumi.
Fumi?
I love milk soda!
Fumi, who loves milk soda?
So do I!
Well, don't be strangers. Chiho says the same.
Sure!
We won't.
Forget about Kei, though. Okano, that is.
You seem close!
She's basically like my plaything.
So really, you can forget it.
Bye.
Bye!
I talked to them.
I called her my plaything...
Kei...
Can I pinch you?
Never ask me that!
"Never ask," she says. I like that.
You like what?
Neverask-a... the state of Neveraska.
The US state of Neveraska.
Damn.
Well, whatever.
It's unusual to see you without a boxed lunch, Yukari.
My mother was drinking last night, so she was really out of it this morning.
Wow, your mother drinks? That's a surprise.
She can't handle very much.
Sorry. I think I'm turned on.
What?!
Don't get turned on by someone's mom.
I'm getting lunch from the convenience store.
Sure, we'll wait for you.
I want a water. The screw-on cap kind.
That's 670 yen.
It's empty!
Uh, actually, I'll pass.
Okano.
Here, take this.
No, that's fine, I'll leave it.
But...
That stuff's really good.
Right. Thanks.
I know that.
Damn it. What was that about?
She's actually nice...
Welcome back!
Water!
Sorry, I didn't have enough money at the store.
I had to let Ichii treat me.
I gotta pay her back tomorrow.
Oh, really?
I heard Ichii was really stingy with money.
Oh yeah?
That's what I heard!
Wait. Is she actually really nice?
Al-co-hol.
Alcohol
Click!
It says cans of alcohol have "alcohol" stamped on them in braille.
Al co hol
I wish they'd add more labels like that.
Like "Delicious!"
That'd be bad if it actually tasted bad.
What about "amazing"?
That doesn't even mean anything.
I get it! "That'd be bad if it tasted bad."
That was a good one!
Uh... right.
Let's look for cocktails that start with a "Yu" sound like our names.
Unabomber. Union Jack. Yucca. Ulysses.
Huh? There's no "Yukari"?
Seems like there should be one.
It would be blue-violet, right?
Yeah, yeah!
With sleepy eyes.

5,000 yen a glass?
Huh? Is that expensive? Cheap?
I don't know! I dunno how this stuff works...
This is...
Yukari
Blue-violet
Sleepy eyes
Very dubious content, I think.
Maybe it's expensive?
That's it!
I wonder if we could use alcohol to get Mom crying!
What would you do if she actually starts crying in front of you?
That might be kind of intense.
Right?
It's fine though. I'll be drinking too.
Are you a bar mistress?!
This is...
The teacher's gonna get the wrong idea.
Hey!
I wonder if Mom'll come by.
She seems like she's got time on her hands.
I really doubt that.
Time to spend contributing to our pointless conversations, you mean?
She is a good mom!
But what if she really does have time on her hands?
Can't rule out the possibility...
How are you guys doing?
Oh! Mom!
I had a little time on my hands.
Mom!
Mom, I love you!
Thank you!
Mom, sit down!
Mom, do you play video games?
I do, a little bit.
When you get to name a character, is there one you always go with?
What?
I usually use my own na—
–ked boobs?

Fine. I'll call her Nakedboobs next time.
We did it!
An RPG!
Or a sim!
Fine.
She's gonna do it.
Get Nakedboobs to a really high level!
R-Right.
Nakedboobs has got to save the world!
You're totally seeing this from a male perspective!
Mom, have you cried lately?
Let me see... I did cry during a movie.
Was it a love story?
I do cry at those, but...
I'm weak to stories about children and old people,
or about parents and children becoming closer.
Did something happen in your past?
No, I get along well with my parents.
Have you been living alone for a long time?
Yes, since before I became a teacher.
Wasn't it hard?
It was hard! It was so lonely.
Can we come keep you company again sometime?
We'll clean for you!
Please don't clean. It would be so sad, I'd cry.
We'll have to go now!
Okay, Mom! We're heading out!
Okay! Have a safe trip!
Heading out?
Data Processing Club
And I said "have a safe trip." How strange.
Let's go by Mom's house again some time.
Sure, sounds good.
We can make her cry!
Don't make her cry!
Huh? How come?
"How come"?
How come?
What about my feelings?!
I want so badly to make her cry!
I don't care! Give it up!
Running to the bathroom. Go on without me.
'Kay!
We'll wait by the shoe cubbies!
So... listen!
About... before.
Tomorrow, I'll...
Don't worry about it.
Thanks.
Later.
Listen.
Hey, have you ever touched Aikawa's chest?
Huh?
Touch it sometime. It's amazing.
Oh... really?
Just once!
Your everyday smile makes me really happy
I want you to keep smiling
So I'll try to make you laugh
We're a bit out of rhythm
Our posture's a bit sloppy
But I'm still being a bit lenient
Because I like it fluffy
When we get together
We end up getting excited
A bit more carefree
And in a relaxed mood
That's how we spend our time
Even the most commonplace of words
Can be so tender for us
And create a perfect place to be
It might be a bit strange
But I know you will understand
And have a smile on your face
"Noblesse oblige" means that power comes with responsibility.
That's cool! I wanna use it!
Ne xt Epis ode

Like "I've got a touch of the noblesse oblige today"?

Are you a peasant girl?!
