Part 40
Let's try a little harder!
Cheer up, Ruri-chan!
Yoshiko?!
You might be bad at school, but there are plenty of other things you can do!
R-Really? Like what?
Dunno.
Think of something first!
Then what can you do?
Huh?
Wh-What can I do?
I haven't tried to do anything but study...
But you're bad at studying, right?
Wait...
Am I screwed?
Let's try doing some different stuff!
Cooking!
Slice
Gah!
Sewing!
Stab
Gah!
Drawing!
Horizontal bar!
Jump rope!
Bicycle!
Don't look at me like that!
Have I always been this useless?
I've lived eleven years, and I have nothing to show!
Tricycle!
I can ride this!
Anyone can ride that!
I'll master one thing, whatever it takes!
Don't let go until I say to, Yoshiko.
You got it!
Here I go!
Oh, a dragonfly.
Wait for me!
Now you can't let go!
A-All right! This is going great!
Cut that out!
Ruri-chan, you're all beat up!
Because of you!
Whatever! I'll do this by myself!
No! Don't be reckless!
Move!
Don't blame me if I hit you!
Ruri-chan!
A-Are you okay?
It's only natural to fail the first time.
But if I keep picking myself up
and trying again,
one day...
I'll succeed!
You mean studying, too?
One day, I'll be good at that, too!
She's fallen down hundreds of times.
She's got guts!
I won't let this be over until I've achieved something!
I'll show you what I can do!
Ruri-chan!
I can't even ride a bike.
What else can you do but laugh?
Quit laughing!
Seriously?!
I'm not...
I'm not going home until I can ride this!
Wow, that's intense!
You must be...
the hardest worker in the world, Ruri-chan!
Yoshiko...
Too bad you can't show anything for it!
Shut up!
I'm not losing to you, Yoshiko!
Hey, hey, hey, Ruri-chan! Let's see who can shout louder!
One day, you'll be able to do it.
Part 41
How could this happen?
What's the matter, Sis?
The new Banana Froppeccino Deluxe, made with three whole bananas,
Limited Time Only
Banana Froppeccino
Sold out due to unexpected demand
is sold out everywhere I look.
I'll help you search for a shop!
Seriously?!
Thank you,
guy I don't know!
I'm your soldier, Ryuuichi!
None here either, huh?
S-Sis...
R-Ryuuichi-kun?
What happened to you?
I'm sorry.
I found a shop in the next town with one Banana Froppeccino Deluxe left.
What?!
But it looks like some guys from Dick High were looking for one, too.
I tried my best to stop them,
but there were just too many.
What did you say?
I wanted to make you happy...
I hate this!
What's more, they took one sip and said,
"It just tastes like bananas. Nothing special."
And then they tossed it out in front of me.
I see.
I know how you feel.
They dare insult our beloved bananas?
And they dare to throw it away without trying to savor the flavor?
This is unforgivable.
No, um...
I will avenge you, Ryuuichi-kun.
Wait— Hold—
Now I'm mad.
S-Sis?!
I don't really care about the banana part!
Stan K. Dick High School
That loser back there was a real laugh!
He had the balls to pick a fight with Sudou-san
over some banana juice and get his ass beat!
Is this "Sudou" guy your boss?
Huh?
Who the hell are—
Taste it.
Y-You—
Now where's this Sudou guy?
Sudou-san!
We've got trouble!
A friend of the guy you messed up is here for revenge!
What's that?
You must be Sudou.
Hah. So you messed up some minions. Don't get cocky.
Listen, bitch. These four,
the Four Kings of Dick High, are strong.
Don't waste my time.
I'll take all four of you. Right now.
You little bitch!
This is the end!
Taste the deliciousness of bananas!
I-Impossible.
What are you?
That just leaves you.
Look! A flying banana!
Seriously?!
Idiot!
Die!
Idiot!
Did you do something just now?
A-kun's punches hurt a hundred times more than that.
Good, aren't they?
Savor the flavor.
I've avenged you,
Banana Froppeccino Deluxe.
I'm telling you!
I really don't care about the banana part!
Part 42
Morning, Dog!
The weather's great!
Let's forget about school and go for a walk!
You're going to school.
For you, Pome-chan.
I'm so happy.
A flower, a flower,
a flower for Pome-chan
Hey! A kid!
Someone! Help!
Oh, no! He'll be washed away!
That dog's amazing! He's swimming the rapids!
He's saved the boy!
Thank you...
Thank you!
Th-That dog is attacking my son!
Someone catch that dog!

Saori, quiet.
Shut up, kid!
Or I'll kill ya.
Y-You damn dog! You'll pay for that!
Wh-What?!
He beat him!
That dog is incredible!
Saori, it's okay now.
Is that flower for me?
Thank you, doggy!
Hey, did you hear?
There was a bank robbery near here yesterday!
Really? That's kinda scary.
But the robbers got done in by some passing dog or something!
There's no way that's true.
Meeting... And! Aho Girl
Next time: "Meeting... And! Aho Girl!"
