If you're sad, it's okay to cry
There is that kind of world at night
Show me, tell me the emotions you embrace
Shining inside of the mirror
Another world concealed behind the mirror
is starting to make a move
Feelings of love, wishes, even time
These are all free
You are precious, so I want you to touch me
There is that kind of world at night
Nothing can interrupt this
The inside of the mirror opens
Stop it, Ruru. I'm sleepy.
Irritating rodents. I'll teach you a lesson.
I know. I won't kill them.
I'm just going to make them smaller...
so they won't be such an eyesore.
Practice!
It's done.
This will do it.
It's time. Ruru, we're going.
Good work!
Now let's do our best in the next class, too!
It's good to be so cheerful all the time, Mr. Mikami.
Oh, hello, Principal. On clear sunny days like this...
it naturally makes you excited...
that something good is going to happen.
Let's have a look at my cute cactus.
Ooh, your thorns are even more beautiful today!
Since the weather's so nice, why don't you take it outside?
Good idea. I'm sure it would like to sunbathe every so often.
I'm sure your cute cactus will be so pleased...
it will grow larger.
I hope it grows as big as the school building.
What? You're hungry?
You just ate this morning.
Hey, are you used to the school yet?
Don't talk like you're half-asleep.
O - Orihara, when you see a teacher...
- you should at least say hello. - Oh, shut up!
Orihara! What did you just say?
You said something, didn't you?
- Not really. - Sure you did.
- I didn't. - You did.
- I didn't. - You did!
I didn't!
No, no. Getting mad...
would make me a failure as a school teacher.
Say, Orihara? Would you take this to the flower bed...
and place it in the sun?
I'm not upset at your behavior in the slightest.
Giving you my precious cactus to care for is proof.
You understand, don't you?
I'm counting on you!
Yes. Contact with even the problematic students...
without discrimination.
This is how an educator should be!
It's your fault.
Shrink into nothingness.
It's a failure.
Oh, well.
Maya-chan?
H - Heavy...
What's she doing?
Who knows? Even I can't understand...
what she's doing most of the time.
Ruru, you're overweight.
Maya-chan, what's wrong?
Why don't you go to the nurse's office?
Shut up.
Want me to come with you?
Leave me alone.
Ooh...
If that's what she wants, we should let her be.
Yeah.
Ruru, get off me.
I should have done this sooner.
What's going on?
Beats me.
Hey, come check this out!
Kaji-kun's calling! What is it? What is it?
There's something weird in the flower bed.
Something weird?
What is this thing?
It's a cactus, isn't it?
Probably.
Was this here before?
No, but I have a feeling I've seen it somewhere before.
Oh! You know, it was on Mr. Mikami's desk!
What? That one was really small, wasn't it?
It must have grown large due to abnormal weather.
Yeah, as if.
I have an idea that it has something to do with Maya-chan.
That's not a good thing, is it?
Yeah. This could get a little scary.
What are you gonna do?
Rio! You showed up at the perfect time!
Hey, hey! Can you go and find Maya-chan? It's top priority!
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I'll treat you to a large plate of salmon spaghetti later!
He sure is calculating... for a cat.
Something good always happens when I come to Nina's school.
What could it be? It smells good.
A magic potion to increase the size of a chameleon?
What a string of unreal words.
I can't believe I'm saying them.
Why'd she go and make something like that?
I don't really understand the reason...
but it's her hobby to create weird potions from black magic.
So, you see, I think she used that cactus as a guinea pig.
What does it have to do with a chameleon?
He's called Ruru!
He always rides around on Maya-chan's shoulder...
and he's so cute!
But think about it. Remember how she was acting?
Oh, yeah! She looked like she was carrying something really heavy.
But I don't remember seeing a chameleon on her shoulder.
He normally hides himself from view. I think he's shy.
Nina!
I found Maya.
I just saw her walking towards the science room.
Don't forget my salmon spaghetti!
Rio, don't tell me Maya-chan did something to you.
It wasn't her...
but there was some yummy smelling syrup on the ground...
so I couldn't resist.
You licked it?
Yeah!
There's no mistake!
Yeah! We have to do something about Maya-chan...
before this gets any further out of hand!
Rio, hide somewhere until then!
Huh? But why?
If someone saw you looking like that...
there would be a panic! D'uh!
So, where should I hide?
Well, uh...
Use the gym equipment storage room.
There's an entrance to it behind the gymnasium.
That's good!
Behind the gym, right? Alley-oop...
Well, I'll be hiding...
so return me to normal as soon as you can, okay?
I look like a cat monster like this.
A -All right. All right, so go hide!
There are still a lot of unexplained going-ons around the world.
What the...
There's an unidentified life-form right over there!
As I am on the Supernatural Phenomenon Analysis Committee...
I cannot let this go unchecked!
Stealthily, stealthily...
That's strange. I'm sure it snuck into here.
The superior life-form is probably using a method...
completely alien to our logic in order to hide itself!
Whatever. Just get out already.
Where did I go wrong?
Maya-chan.
I thought you'd be in here.
You're the one who enlarged Mr. Mikami's cactus, right?
Why are you doing this?
What I intended to shrink got larger. It was a mistake.
You have an undo magic spell ready, I trust?
I do not.
Why are all witches so sloppy?
What are you gonna do?
If you ignore them, they'll only get bigger.
I'll manage...somehow.
Orihara-san!
Watch Ruru until then.
What? Ruru?
Wait a min -
- What's gonna happen? - What's gonna happen?
So, based on this, this relative pronoun becomes...
Is Ruru behaving himself?
Wait, I'll check.
It's okay. He's still here.
Although he's a little bigger than before.
Can't you use your power to turn him back?
Maya-chan's magic is black magic...
so there's nothing I can do about it.
Who's the one with the empty stomach?
Can't wait till lunchtime?
Ruru, Maya-chan will be back soon...
so just be patient a little longer.
"Not only whatsis, but also whosis."
"It is not only whatsis, but is also whatsis."
These sentences have the same construction...
and at one time were also used in an Idol song.
Who is it? Orihara-san?
No, I think the door just closed by itself.
- No way. - No way.
He's gone!
Did something just go past?
What'll we do? He seemed to be hungry...
so he wandered off in search of food.
Why are you asking me?
Ow! Ow, ow, ow!
What's wrong, Sakura?
My stomach! My stomach hurts!
Mr. Mikami, I'll take her to the nurse's office.
Right! Take care of her, Tateishi.
Yes, sir! Let's go, Nina.
Yeah. Ow, ow, ow...
"Ah, the beautiful days of youth. Here's to good friends."
That Ruru...
I wonder where he went?
Oh! Speaking of food...
The cafeteria!
Whew! It's almost lunch time.
Oh, is it that time already?
- No way! - No way!
Ruru!
He got this big?
We have to find a hiding place for him, quick!
Hey! No making noise in the halls!
It looks like Miss Tamura isn't in.
Since nobody's here, we'll put him here for now.
Oh, my. Do you feel sick?
N - No, I'm fine.
It's nothing.
Good-bye!
Those two look slender, but they must have a tendency for obesity.
I'll have to caution them when I next see them.
Is there any other classroom empty at this hour?
It's no good.
Both the music room and the computer room are packed.
He's reaching the limit, huh?
If he gets any bigger, he won't be able to navigate.
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
Heave-ho!
Almost there!
Ruru! Be patient for just a little while, okay?
- Here goes! - Here goes!
Ayu-chan, you go back to class first.
I'll somehow manage the rest.
Fake out everyone in the classroom!
But will you be okay by yourself?
I'll be fine! I may not look it, but I'm a witch!
Actually, that's why I'm worried.
Nina-sama, what magic spell do you seek?
Let's see. This, this, and this!
What? So many?
I want to distract everybody from looking at Ruru!
Make it quick!
C -Coming.
Practice!
It's done!
Here, Ayu-chan. Take this.
Huh? What is this?
It's a pinwheel firework made from magic beads.
I'll try my best...
but if I don't manage to completely fake them out...
use that to distract them.
I can do that, but where is Orihara-san?
Will she really come back?
Maya-chan is a little weird, but she's not a bad girl.
She'll come. I'm sure she'll come. She'll keep her word!
All right. I'll do everything I can.
Right!
From the way the verb "be" doesn't continue...
into the verb plus "ing"...
you can tell it isn't in the present progressive form.
Don't do that, Ruru!
I hope nobody notices.
If you mistake what "it" represents, it turns into "that"...
I'm sure I just saw something outside the window.
I'm just imagining things.
And from that, regardless of whether...
this word is grammatically correct...
What's that?
Everyone, look this way!
Tateishi, this happens to be English class.
Hurry up and return to your seat.
Well, it's just that...
it's such a nice day, when I'm by the window I feel like singing.
U - Um, it is all right if I sit over here?
It looks like Orihara-san is absent, so it's free.
Do what you want.
Sorry!
Kaji-kun?
I'm doomed!
This is all I could think of!
- What the heck? - Is it a fire?
What should I do now?
Everyone, focus on the lesson.
For some reason today's lessons are really wiping me out.
Nina, why are you making this mess even bigger?
It's hopeless! I'm sorry, guys!
I can't believe I'm being forced to do this.
What will you do about this, Orihara-san?
That's the last of the smoke screens.
Looks like I'm out of resources.
I guess this is it.
Maya-chan! I've been waiting for you!
Let's put you back on Mr. Mikami's desk, shall we?
Maya-chan, I knew you were a nice girl.
You came back just like you said you would.
Of course.
She's blushing.
Today's endless series of mysterious phenomenon...
is undoubtedly the work of the unknown creature...
that I suspect is still lurking around.
This time I will reveal the shocking truth!
Nina!
Hurry up and cast the undo magic spell on me, too!
Come on, Nina!
H - Help me!
I had a dream of you
I saw your lonely-looking tears
Before I knew it, I was changed into you
To cry the same tears
I find myself wanting you, but afraid you don't love me
Afraid of how it will end
As you do to me, I do to you
And I start taking everything from you
I find myself wanting you, but afraid you don't love me
I want to believe in our future
As you do to me, I do to you
On the night we started to protect each other secretly
Pine, Bamboo and Plum are your cousins?
That's right! They're actually triplet sisters!
It looks like they dropped by...
to root for me out of worry for me, but...
They're pretty wacky for their tiny stature.
No, don't do that!
You have to send them home, or this could get bad!
Aw, stop goofing around, you guys!
Episode eight of Ultramaniac is "Hello, Little Girls."
