Meow, meow!
Meow!
My name is Nyanko Big.
This guy sleeping with a dopey face is Mitsuyoshi Tada.
He saved my life.
Meow! Meow!
Time sure flies. It's already been ten years...
Meow.
Meow!
The target shows no response.
Meow, meow, meow, meow!
I'm not playing games here!
Meow?!
I'm moving to the final phase now.
Mraow!
You're so heavy!
You've put on some weight again, haven't you?!
Hmph, mission accomplished.
Meow!
Meow! Meow!
Roster Meals Laundry Nyanko's, too! Hang Dry! Big Brother Yui Grandpa Cleaning Nyanko's litter box, too!
Just hold on.
Meow!
Morning, Big Bro! I'm gonna be late, so I'll be off now!
See you later!
Okay.
Meow.
Dad, Mom, Mitsuyoshi grew up to be a fine young man, didn't he?
It's thanks to the fact that I've always watched over him.
Meow!
Tch. Kibbles again?!
You really love that food.
What?!
Oh, Tada-kun, good morning!
Morning.
We're going to have a photography meeting this afternoon, right? I'm looking forward to it!
I've been seeing this blondie and redhead lately.
These girls are really fine, but...
Yeah.
Ah! Nyanko Big-san, good morning!
...like me, Mitsuyoshi doesn't get smitten with girls.
Isn't that right?
Meow?
That's all you're getting to eat. You've been really heavy lately.
I'm not talking about food!
This scent!
Your breakfast is ready.
Awesome!
Fish!
See you later!
'Kay.
Fish!
Meow!
Ah...!
Nyanko Big!
Tada Never Falls in Love
Hey, look over here
The viewfinder is always set
If it isn't of you, then it doesn't appeal to me
Did something happen to me?
I walked past my friends
And my close friend, whom I keep missing
It's a turbulent world
By the time I realized it, the world was like a rainbow
Oh, seasons, stop
In the photos of our time together
Every single thing is shining brightly
Hey, there's one thing I want to tell you
I can't stop it or hide it anymore; that feeling is right here
Baby, before you vanish into this film we call "memories"
There's something I want to tell you
"I'm in love with you now"
You Love That
Tada Coffee Shop
Tada-kun! How's Nyanko Big-san?!
Oh, well, he seems fine...
How could that happen to me?
It seems I'm somewhat out of shape.
Ow...!
Are you all right? Does it hurt anywhere?
Purr, purr, purr...
This pain is nothing.
Meow?!
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!
Looks like his legs are okay, too.
S-stop it!
He doesn't have a problem with landing, either.
Of course, I don't!
Thank goodness!
Where is Grandpa-san?
He's out.
Then, are you the only one working at the coffee shop, Tada-kun?
Saturday mornings are relatively quiet. And Grandpa will be back in the afternoon, so...
That's amazing, isn't it, Alec?!
Yes, it is.
That's right. Mitsuyoshi is an amazing guy.
He's helped out ever since he was a little tyke and brews coffee just as well as Coffee Master Shozo.
He's studied hard while taking care of Yui.
He's aiming to become a photographer, and he works hard at it every day.
That's also thanks to the fact that I've been watching over him, isn't it?
Nyanko Big, it's time for us to open.
Flip over the sign.
Huh?!
Nyanko Big-san, can do such a thing?!
I most certainly cannot!
If I keep saying it for the time being, he might be able to one of these days.
Are you so short-handed that you'd even want your cat to help?
If he can help. Right?
No thanks.
Then, please allow me to help you instead!
Huh?
Teresa...
Alec!
Anything is an experience!
Please allow us both to help, if it isn't inconvenient for you.
That'd make things easier for me, but...
I'll open the shop! I look forward to working with you!
Yeah.
Welcome!
Heya, Mitsuyoshi!
I'd like a morning set and the usual!
One morning set, one special coffee jelly, and one blended coffee.
Okay!
Huh? If it isn't Teresa-chan and Alec! What's going on?!
We are helping out!
For reals?!
Hey, Nyanko Big! Wanna go at it today?!
Go home, kid!
Whoa!
Safe by a hair!
A Trepid Nyanko Big update.
Geez. We've known each other for so long, so why won't you let your guard down with me?
Hiss!
This annoying guy is Kaoru Ijuin.
I don't think he'll ever change.
He's Mitsuyoshi's childhood friend, and he always hangs out at the coffee shop.
You think so?
I won't give up, Nyanko Big!
He's a spoiled brat whose family owns an old Japanese-style restaurant in the neighborhood.
Welcome.
Welcome!
He's one of our regulars. His face has "hit man" written all over it.
Yay! It's Rainbow Shogun!
Rainbow Shogun.
Rainbow Shogun
State one color of the rainbow!
Uh... blue.
The color of the rainbow is rainbow! Meet your maker!
Always make your heart rainbow!
To be continued.
To be continued
Always make your heart rainbow!
...rainbow!
Ah, welcome!
Tada Coffee Shop
Hello. Are you open?
A-are you okay with this place?
Yes! Please sit wherever you'd like!
Yeah.
Are you helping out here today?
I met this elderly couple ten years ago.
Yes! Grandpa-san is out, so I'm helping out!
Meow.
I'd like one egg sandwich, one kappa sandwich, and two blended coffees.
Are you okay with that?
Yeah.
That's all.
Got it!
Here's their order.
They remind me of when we were their age.
Okay.
One egg sandwich, one kappa sandwich, and two blended coffees!
Yeah.
Tada Coffee Shop
Okay.
Tada-kun.
What is a kappa sandwich?
Kappa?!
It's a cucumber sandwich.
By the way, "kappa" is the name of a Japanese river sprite.
Kappa Kappa
It's a river sprite?!
What does it have to do with cucumbers?!
Huh?! Why cucumbers, Mitsuyoshi?
It's 'cause kappa love cucumbers.
Seriously?!
You didn't know that?
E-excuse me!
Yes?!
Um, I'd like an iced café au lait.
M-me, too. I'd like the same thing.
Okay! Two iced café au laits. Please give us a few minutes.
This is the first time that boy brought a girl here.
Um...!
Ah!
Whoa!
I sincerely appreciate it!
Nice.
U-um...!
Yes?
I heard that if a man and a woman look each other in the eyes for eight seconds, they'll fall in love.
Mitsuyoshi, Pin-senpai asked if having the photography meeting in the afternoon was fine.
Yeah.
Are you okay with that, Teresa-chan and Alec?
Of course!
They've fallen in love.
Thank you for your patronage!
Good work.
Thanks, you two. You were a big help.
I'll brew some coffee, so let's take a break.
Okay!
What would you like? Please request if you'd prefer strong-tasting or aromatic coffee.
Teresa.
Oh, right! I had these things!
What are those?!
They're hot chocolate spoons.
If you put one in hot milk or coffee, you can enjoy a chocolate drink.
Huh...
Add chocolate in coffee?!
Yes!
We often drink coffee this way in Larsenburg.
I thought I'd let everyone enjoy it, too!
It sounds delicious!
This is great!
Mitsuyoshi, I'd like another cup of coffee!
Then, I'll make coffee that'll pair well with chocolate.
Okay!
Thank you!
Meow!
Are you up now, Nyanko Big-san?
It isn't time for lunch yet. You just ate breakfast.
Chocolate, huh? I don't care for sweet things.
Pick a cup you'd like to drink from.
Okay, I'll take the rainbow cup!
I'll take the first cup from the left.
Ooh, a floral design!
I'm surprised, but it suits you, Alec!
Please leave me alone.
Meow!
What, what, whatcha readin'? Whatcha readin'?
Tell me! Let's read together!
Hey, you don't have to hide it! You can tell me what book that is!
If you don't shut your mouth, I'll shut it for you!
Eep!
I'll stay quiet!
Here you go.
Thank you very much!
Thank you.
Thanks, man!
So, how do you use this?
You take it...
and mix it like so.
Ah, it smells so sweet!
Yeah!
Then, I guess I'll go with white chocolate! How about you, Alec?
Well, I'll go with strawberry.
Strawberry?
Would you like one, too, Tada-kun?
I'm not a fan of sweet drinks...
It's not that sweet!
You're actually cutesy, huh, Alec?
I'm really going to hit you!
Why?!
Hey, not bad.
Then, I'll have one, too.
Do you have any recommendations?
Well... how about dark chocolate?
Sure.
Oh... It melts instantly, huh?
Man, this is friggin' good!
What is the matter?
Nothing.
Do you like sweet coffee, Miss?
Nyanko Big.
Hello. Are you going on a walk?
Meow-meow!
I'm not going on a walk, Shozo. I'm going on patrol.
I see. You're going on patrol, huh?
Meow?! What?!
Be careful. Don't go too far.
Meow...
Shozo, you're amazing...
Chinese Restaurant Tarafuku Chinese Restaurant
Miko-chan, are you heading out?
Miko-chan, you look like you're in high spirits today.
Follow the traffic signals, Miko-chan.
I have absolutely no idea why people call me Miko-chan.
There's nothing out of the ordinary in town.
Pin-senpai!
Hey!
Listen up, my friends!
The deadline for the spring contest is next week!
We're all going to treat today as if it's our last day and snap pictures like mad!
Okay. Right! Yeah!
Okay...
Yay!
I believe I said that the theme was "spring."
I'll take a picture of the sky...
Yamashita Dog! You're thinking of going to sleep, aren't you?!
Wow!
This is a lovely Japanese garden!
It certainly is beautiful.
Is this your first time here?
Yes! This sort of looks like a place where Rainbow Shogun would show up.
I see...
Teresa-chan!
A kappa is gonna show up here!
Kappa
What?! The kappa you mentioned earlier?!
Yeah! So, be careful!
You shouldn't go near there under any circumstances!
Really?
Kappa don't exist.
That's not true! There was one when we first met, remember?!
A kappa?
It was back when we were six. I was crazy about radio control boats...
I said they don't exist.
Go, go, go!
Ah!
Huh?
I'm caught on something...
Huh?! Are you okay, Kaoru-kun?!
Whoa!
It's a kappa!
Kappa?!
Kaoru-kun is gonna get killed by a kappa!
What?!
Let's run!
Hey, wait! Don't leave me behind!
Help!
Huh?
A kappa is gonna kill me!
Chill out.
Kappa don't exist.
Here.
Wow! You were super cool!
That was really touching! Damn!
I know, right?
Well, you're lame, Ijuin-senpai.
How so?!
It was mine and Mitsuyoshi's spectacular adventure!
I thought you were always dumb, but you were dumb ever since that day.
Hajime-chan, you shouldn't speak the truth.
What?! I was friggin' scared!
Teresa?
Here, Teresa.
Wow! Thanks, Alec!
Wait!
Teresa!
Miss Teresa!
Please be more considerate of your situation... before acting!
Alec...
What's wrong?
Well, Alec rescued me a long time ago...
I did?
Yes, you did.
Hey, you guys over there! Break's over! We're gonna snap pictures like mad!
Ah, okay!
Tada, let's go home.
Sorry, I'd still like to keep taking pictures, so could you go on ahead of me?
Roger.
Tada-kun really loves taking pictures.
Senpai's dad was a famous photographer.
That's why he's aiming to become a photographer.
I respect Senpai for working so hard for his dream.
Meow!
Oh?
You're that cat...!
Meow!
You're the one that took shelter from the rain with me, aren't you?
Meow... Meow, meow!
Nice...
Hey, if it isn't Cherry!
So, your name's Cherry-chan...
Yamashita-kun, do you know her?
Yup! She's the neighborhood beauty salon's cat.
Cherry...! What a lovely name!
Meow, meow!
I heard that if a man and a woman look each other in the eyes for eight seconds, they'll fall in love.
But I won't fall in love! I'll NEVER fall in love! I...!
Cherry-chan!
Ah...!
Meow, meow, meow, meow!
Mayday! Mayday!
That's...!
Nyanko Big-san?!
Oh, no!
Nyanko Big!
Meow!
Are you all right?
Hm. Well, he's breathing.
Thank goodness...
That's Nyanko Small, huh?
Good one, Yamashita Dog!
Hiss! Be quiet!
Ah!
I heard that if a man and a woman...
Teresa, you aren't hurt, are you?
No, I'm fine. Nyanko Big-san is fine, too.
Kind young lady, I'd like to express my gratitude. I am fine.
But my heart is in pain... because I have fallen in love.
What are you doing? You've leapt too much today.
Meow...
Love goes hand in hand with pain.
You got scolded, huh, Nyanko Big?
Don't you mean Nyanko Small?
Tada Coffee Shop
Dad, Mom...
I was indebted to Mitsuyoshi for picking me up.
That's why I've been watching over him with all my might this entire time.
But from this day forward, it'll be difficult...
because...
of Cherry-chan!
Alec, I heard that there was such a thing as kappa stars.
That "kappa" has a different meaning.
There are Bayer designations in stellar nomenclature, and "Kappa" indicates the apparent magnitude.
ALWAYS MAKE YOUR HEART RAINBOW
Are you listening?
Yeah, kappa live there, right?
Huh?
I kept wondering how long this would last
I had no idea why you were so pretty that day
After taking you away, someone who calls himself "God"
Says that I will never see you again
Where are you going? There was nothing I could do
You beautiful person
I miss you so much
If one of my wishes were to come true
I would want to hold you tight right now
I only wanted to be with you forever
Within my heart is a melody of a flood of tears
I can't ever forget the days I spent with you
Hajime-chan, you dropped...
I haven't dropped yet!
Here, you dropped this.
Oh, sorry.
Is that...?!
Dropping my Hina photo collection book was an oversight, but was there something else?
Next time: Episode 4, "Let's Pretend We Didn't See That..."
Let's Pretend We Didn't See That...
Please look forward to it!
