Do You Like It or Not?
Dinner is ready!
Today's menu is fried shrimp...
Omelets...
And a green salad with crunchy cucumber!
Let's eat!
What's up, Mao-chan?
Papa, you know...
Mao-chan doesn't need it.
Yes you do.
Won't eat it.
Eat it!
No!
I won't let you be picky!
Come on, it's okay. He can have one or two things he doesn't like.
Mama!
Your mama can't stand green peppers, you know!
You're spoiling him!
Because you're so picky, Mao-chan thinks he's fine not eating his cucumbers.
I guess you're right. I'm sorry!
Ah! No, you don't have to cry about...
Papa...
If you pick on mama, then...
I'm not picking on her!

...so it's turned into quite the problem at home.
I see.
I know!
The nursery will help Mao-chan get used to eating cucumber!
Thank you!
Everyone, it's time for snacks!
Today will be melon bread and 100 percent fresh fruit juice!
It's yummy!
He's drinking it, he's drinking it!
He doesn't know that it's actually full of cucumber juice!
This has cucumber in it...
I don't want it.
No good, huh?
He's perceptive!
Mao-chan, being picky isn't good!
The farmers who grow cucumbers will be sad!
Good job, Rai-chan! That's a good one!
That "farmer" image seems a bit off, don't you think?
I know! Since we have the chance, let's have everyone help think up something!
Aubergine!
A-Aubergine?!
If you don't like cucumber, aubergine!
That's no good...
What is it, Pepe?
Pepe will eat Mao-chan's cucumber for him.
That way the farmers won't be sad.
No! I mean, come on! Who is this guy, anyway!?
Principal!
Yes, Rai-chan!
Cut cucumber in lotsa shapes! It's fun!
That's something I can do!
Now the cucumber's in this shape!
Mama!
He ate it?!
No good, huh?
There's no helping it.
I didn't want to resort to this, but...
Everyone, for lunch you can eat whatever you like!
However, we have to wait until Mao-chan eats a slice of cucumber!
I feel bad for him, but if we do this every day he'll probably get used to it.
I feel bad for Mao-chan...
You can eat this!
Okay...
It's rice with melon soda on top!
You can have my curry, too! Aah!
Aah...
Mao-chan's breathing fire, even though he's not wearing his costume!
Just what you'd expect of Karin-chan's favourite triple-super-spicy curry!

What?! Mao-chan's able to eat cucumber now?!
Yep! Look!
I-It's true!
Wow! What happened?
Mao-chan realized... that in this world, there are so many foods more dangerous than cucumber...
Mao-chan's one step closer to becoming an adult, isn't he?
Heh.
