What're you doing, May?
This isn't safe, so I thought I'd strengthen it.
- To get ready for the typhoon? - Yes! Exactly!
Well, even so...
Don't you think you're sort of overdoing it?
Roll, roll, roll...
Shoo! Shoo!
You really think so?
Oh, definitely. You're definitely overdoing this!
Oh, my, my, my. Not at all.
Look, even Shikishima's doing it.
- See? - Now those are shutters!
Shikishima doesn't count!
"SHIKI-1"
If Mr. Typhoon is taking the trouble to visit us...
...the least we can do is greet him properly.
Like they say, "Be prepared and you'll be happy!"
Okay, Mr. Typhoon!
Come and get us any time and anywhere you want to!
So, how do you plan on getting back into the room, Mami...?
But Kasumi, we have to be prepared for something bad happening.
I know. I know that. But still...
Kasumi!
MAY IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!
This typhoon looks like it'll be a big one!
We can't be too cautious about it!
Kazuya always takes May's side...
Kasumi? Right?
All right, all right. I'll leave it to you.
Right!
MAY!!! May! Saotome!
May! May! May! Saotome! Saotome! May! May !May! Saotome! Saotome!
MAY!!!! SAOTOME!!!
Saotome! Ya ain't hurt, are ya?!
Uh... No...
Thank God!
Out of the way! Out of my way, Saotome!
Who cares about you?! My silky, milky, lovely May...!
I MUST SAVE MY BELOVED MAY!
What are they doing?
Thank you so much, Kazuya.
And you, May. You shouldn't push yourself.
Right. Sorry.
And thank you very much, Kasumi!
What's up with that thing, anyway?!
First of all, that's no place for a ladder!
For placing my beloved May in danger...
...I, Kotaro Nanbara, WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU, HEARTLESS LADDER!
Oh... Shut up, already!
FOR THAT, YOU MUST DIE!!!
Put a cork in it!
You're one to talk about being heartless.
Wh-What did you say?!
What a pain. Does he hafta yell all the time?
I was going to take that ladder down after I moved in.
Things just kept me from doing it.
WHAT SORT OF THINGS?!
This sort of thing and that sort of thing, you mean?!
And you'd hide them from me, your dearest of friends?!
You've got some nerve!
It wasn't anything that important...
YOU'D BETTER TELL ME EVERYTHING NOW, SAOTOME!!!
- Oh, my, my, my... - I wanna hear, too!
This is far more interesting than the typhoon!
I'll cry! I'LL CRY!!!
Um, well...
Don't be so excited. It's not that big a deal.
That's for us to decide!
Go on! Go on! Tell us now, SAOTOME!!!
- Hurry up! Hurry up! - Who cares about the typhoon now?!
I'll cry! I swear, I'll CRY!!!
Even if you give me those looks...!
Kazuya, I want to hear about it, too.
Y-You, too, May?
Yes!
I want to know more about you and Kasumi.
Please tell me!
Will you tell them?
Oh, boy... Well...
The ladder is a much shorter way for Kasumi to take...
...than if she walked around and used the stairs.
Yeah, we know that already!
Are there any other reasons?! Tell us!
Um... Let's see...
She uses it to bring me food and to wake me up in the morning...
All sorts of fun things, right?
Yeah, well... Huh?
Your story bored us to death.
Well, I told you not to expect too much from it...
YES! I was a stupid idiot...
...to have expected a good story from you!
Just what did you want to hear?!
Kazuya?
Yes? Oh!
The landlady?!
Kazuya...
This takes me back. I haven't crossed this in a long time.
By the way, is Kasumi visiting you?
Huh? She was just here, but...
Really... She always seems to be over here, so I thought...
Where could she have gone in the middle of a typhoon?
I'll go look for her.
Sorry to trouble you.
In return, you can pay the rent late.
Um, thanks.
- Oh, my, my, my. Chigusa, really! - That was cool!
"Like mother, like daughter" certainly applies in this case!
There's much more to this ladder than I first anticipated.
Boring...
Wait! I'll go with you!
It's too dangerous, May. Stay here. I'll be back soon.
Of course! Of course! Get going! And then...
VANISH FOREVER WITH THE LANDLADY'S RUDE, VIOLENT DAUGHTER!!!
I'll go with you, too!
Whatever! And I'll stay here with my beloved May, and--
I'm going, too!
May...
- Kazuya! - Saotome!
May!
- Wait for me! - Wait!
Wait up!
- Kazuya! - Saotome!
May!
What is this, a cartoon?!
Why did you tell them?
Because May asked you to?
Will you do anything that May asks you to do?
Um, excuse me. Here.
"GENKI SAOTOME"
It's the same last name as mine, isn't it?
You shouldn't read other peoples' mail!
Would you cut it out?!
Um, you forgot these.
Th-Thanks...
Um... Hi, I'm Saotome. I just moved into apartment 204.
Nice to meet you.
Y-You, too...
See you.
Clumsy...
Clumsy Saotome...
Kasumi!
Kazuya...
You're gonna catch a cold. Come on, let's go home.
Come on.
Look, Kasumi--
Clumsy...
Clumsy Saotome...
Did you see that fall he took off the swing...
...and then that shot to his shins!
Just shut up!
Saotome... You haven't called me that in a long time.
Back when you called me that, you were so wild.
Remember that time when I had the ladder up against the wall?
Hold it! What are you doing--
S-Sorry...
Sorry for making you worry.
Hey, don't worry about it.
Maybe that ladder isn't worth the trouble.
Uh-uh. I like that ladder.
So do I.
Nice story... Nice story... That's a really nice story...
In what way?!
Anyway, right now...
- Let's hurry home! - Right!
Ma-a-a-ay!!!
Mika!
Yamazaki!
Mika!!!
Yamazaki!!!
M-MIKA!!!
- YAMAZAKI!!! - MIKA!!!
Here it comes! Here it comes! Here it comes!
Oh, May.
Wind speeds are gusting to 70 meters...
...and the force level is still rising! Incredible!
It's gonna blow this crappy apartment away!
The ladder!
It's too dangerous, May! Leave that dirty old ladder alone!
It can't blow away! This ladder...!
Kazuya and Kasumi treasure this ladder!
Hit us with your best shot!
With this many of us on here, it won't blow away!
It may just break, instead...
NEVER SAY DIE!!!
Yeah...!
- Master Nanbara... - What?!
There's some good in you yet.
Of course I'd do this! I'm doing it all for May!
What? Are you getting embarrassed?!
Shut up!
Never mind that! The brat!
Nice catch, Squiddy!
GUTS! IT'LL TAKE MORE THAN THAT!
- IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?! - Would you quit yellin'?
THIS IS ALL SAOTOME'S FAULT!!!
Sara! Nanbara! Mami!
Now it's all a question of attitude!
Anyway, with just us on here...
Hm... We must be in the eye of the storm.
Now's our chance!
Kasumi!
Jeez...
Right, right...
May, what are you doing up there?
Oh! Kasumi!
I was protecting your precious ladder!
Um, you see...
I overheard you and Kazuya talking before, so...
You... You heard?
That's why... I want a ladder like this, too!
That's why I was protecting it!
May...
Thank you.
Sorry to break the mood, but...
...the second half of the storm's starting!
May, can we do this together?
Sure!
I won't give up, either!
Oh, my, my, my?
May and Kasumi aren't here, are they?
Huh? Where'd they go?
By the way, Chigusa, that ladder seems to have quite a history.
Oh, yes. It has an amazing origin.
Oh? What is it?
Oh, my, my, my! You don't say!
Tell me, too!
I must hear it, too! I have to know now!
Hurry up and tell us!
Oh, my, my, my....
Um... Thanks for the clothes.
I'll return them after I've washed them.
Oh, that's all right. Don't worry about it.
But...
- May. - Yes?
The ladder... You want it?
Yes!
Did I say something funny?
Sorry, sorry. But what are you gonna use it for?
Well, let's see...
To wake Kazuya up every morning...
To bring Kazuya food every day...
To go to the amusement park together...
...and to go shopping together, and...
But you can do all that without the ladder, right?
Yeah, I guess...
- Look, May... - Yes?
It isn't the ladder you really want.
Maybe what you really want...
...are the memories of all the things connected to it.
Memories?
Well, for example...
The stuff Kazuya and I talked about in the park before.
Oh, I see! Those are the memories I want!
I want to have so many of them!
So many...? May, you have so many already.
Huh? Do I really?
C'mon, even today will become a nice memory.
Yeah! That's right!
Look, you remember all the stuff that's happened...
...since you first came here, right?
Sure! Of course.
Those are all your memories, May.
Those are memories?
Memories...aren't the ladder or that sort of stuff.
They're what you've accomplished by doing your best.
Things you've done with other people.
The little things that pass you by that you hardly notice.
Right!
When I look at you, I can't believe you're a robot, May.
You act so...human...
Huh? How so?
Well, anyway...
Tomorrow, I'm going to give everything my best!
Hey! You stole my catch-phrase!
Today was a lot of trouble...
...but, like Kasumi said, it's a nice memory now.
I hope I can make a lot more nice memories in days to come.
Tomorrow, I'm going to give everything my best!
What's wrong, Sara? Aren't you hungry?
What about you, Master Nanbara? All you do is sigh...
Yeah...
You don't suppose...
WE'RE LOVE SICK?!
- WHO ARE YOU?! - Can it be...?!
Who the hell are you?! How dare you!
T-TELL ME YOUR NAME!!!
Y-Y-YOU BARBARIAN!!!
L-L-Lemme go, you... Y-Y-Y-You insolent...!
When I'm with you, I blush till my ears turn red.

Oh, my, my, my!
They say they want to see you do more stuff!
Oh, my, my, MY!
But, in two episodes... the show's over.
