Even though we're still in the opening-
Good evening, this is Serizawa Fumino.
But why did we get dragged back into the recording studio?
The very first episode of the Stray Cats Association's Crazy Activities Journal is starting!

Translator: Suffix
Will you listen to me?!
By the way, whether or not we will have a second episode is still unknown...
Hey!
Translator: Suffix
Come on, Nozomi. Don't be so quiet. Help get things moving.
Timer: Hiroto
Yay. Boom, boom, hyoo, hyoo, puff, puff.
As always...
Nozomi, don't let her get you down.
Editor: nt, Holo
Hey, I'm still waiting for the explanation as to why I was dragged here.
Editor: nt, Holo

So using the power of the Umenomori Group, I've reclaimed this time slot!

You've done it again...
Calmly going forwards and doing what others would hesitate to, that's me, Umenomori Chise!

That's nothing to be proud of.

Nozomi, turn a blind eye to the minor stuff.

All right. I'll close my eyes.
You don't actually have to close them...

But, you know... Hearing your own singing voice coming out of the television is... How should I put this...
#doki@irc.rizon.net
A bit embarrassing...
Yet we march forth bravely. That's us, the Stray Cats Association.
I think like I heard something like that not long ago.
Chise is cool.
You don't need to praise her.
And now, Mayoi Neko Overrun Special Episode: The Stray Cats Settle Things.
Great, it started...
13 "The Stray Cats Settle Things"
Special Chapter
01 "The Stray Cats Take Off"
We've got the striped panties right off the bat!
Hey, why are we starting with this scene?
I imagine it's that, Serizawa Fumino. You did this on purpose.
Fumino... Pervert.
I'm not! No matter how you look at it, this is an accident!
But watching this made me think of something...
What?
Striped panties really are "private" items that should only allowed on 2D girls. 3D just don't quite...
Kikuchi has already said something like that.
Is that why you snapped his neck here?
No.
Must've hurt.
Moving right along, here's my appearance!
Why are you in a school swimsuit?
Hey, wait! Didn't I say to have this part cut?
Ah, Chise's naked.
Well, leaving behind those petty matters...
What do you mean "petty"?
Our made-to-order cake got eaten up, didn't it?
Going along with what this kid said, a big cat ate it, but...
And thanks to my "fine play," we managed to corner the big cat!
Don't say it like it was all your doing.
But when it looked like the little chick was about to get run over, she ran away while we panicked.
We saved it in the nick of time.
You be more careful.
But in the end, it turned out that the kid had lied.
Yeah, I suppose.
Huh? Don't you have anything else to say?
Not really.
Ah, Fumino's panties.
Enough with that already!
Then on the following morning, Otome returned from helping people in Saipan, and...
We got a real shock at that time.
Back then, Otome-san was always bringing stray cats home, but...
Nobody would have thought that this time she'd bring back a human girl.
And that girl was Nozomi, right?
02 "The Stray Cat Smiled"
With that, Nozomi ended up living with us at Stray Cats.
Living together.
Amazing how the cats block all the important places!
Wait, Nozomi, are you fine being shown like this?
I don't really mind.
You might not mind, but didn't we say it would cause problems for others?
Say, tilting your head to the side like that... kind of worries me.
A light saber?
So thinking I was causing problems, I decided to leave.
But...
Fumino stopped me.
What's with this cool look, now?
Fumino is a good person.
No, that's not...
...what it was...
Right, Nozomi, have you ever made cakes before?
No.
Then how are you able to?
Why are you making a "I don't know either" face?
But Otome was happy about it.
She sure was. Well, I guess the shape and taste really were something extraordinary.
How rare for you to praise other people!
Ra- what do you mean, "rare"?
I was happy.
Oh, this is the time Nozomi transferred into our class.
This was a surprise, too.
Everything was all thanks to me, though!
We've heard it already.
Chise, thank you.
Ah! Wa- Nozomi, don't pat my head- Ah, it feels so good...
Wait, Nozomi, why are you dressed like that?!
Takumi's heart is pounding!
His heart is pounding for some woman other than me!
Nozomi, you need to learn a thing or two about delicacy, too...
And so that's why you rushed over in the middle of the night, right? Nice, Serizawa Fumino. Good job.
I'll praise you that much at least.
I wasn't going over there for- I just came to get something I forgot.
Ah, yeah, sure, we got it.
What's with that careless tone?
03 "The Stray Cat is Found"
Well you see, I'm being chided by someone who stomped right out into a typhoon like this.
Be quiet, shut up!
A power outage.
Hey, what is this? What's with this candid-camera situation?
Ah! Why is this scene showing up as well?!
Die a million times over!
This is on purpose? Were you doing this on purpose?!
Like I would!
Chise will be naked too.
Wait, Nozomi, what are you doing?
If you get naked, everyone will be together.
No no, stop it! Don't take my clothes off!
I will get naked, too.
You don't need to!
That scared me. That scared me.
Now what's with this face-to-face sleeping arrangement?!
We didn't have a choice. There was thunder, and we were scared.
We had to.
And to top it off the two of you are holding hands with him!
We didn't have a choice. There was thunder, and we were scared!
We had to.
While we're on the subject, let me warn you about something.
Takumi's hands exist for me when I tell him "hand."
Don't touch them without permission!
Are you stupid?
Who would decide that!
I decided.
Are you a little kid?!
This was quite troublesome, you know.
I got news of Nozomi disappearing out of the blue and had to use the Umenomori Group to gather information desperately.
Sorry.
Huh? What's this scene?
Serizawa and Takumi are alone together.
Hey, quiet! I can't hear it!
I said I can't hear! Look, the scene changed!
This scene...
Huh?
I was really happy.
You being hugged by Takumi is a bit enviable- I mean, unforgivable, but I'll overlook it.
You're family, after all.
04 "The Stray Cats Undressed"
Now for the long-awaited hot springs episode!
Wha- Hey, wait a minute!
What?
Naked! I'm on screen naked!
We're at a hot spring, so that should be obvious!
That's not the problem!
It's fine. Members of the audience, please think of them as potatoes or cabbages.
I don't think you're using that phrase at the right time.
I expected that the glasses-geek would try to peek from around there, so I had traps set up.
I didn't think they'd be set off this easily, though.
Ah, Takumi is together with a woman.
Oh, it's just Chikumaen Kaho.
I heard she was going over there, but I didn't realize she was in that area.
Hey, don't take it off!
Don't sit!
W-What?! What is she doing?!
She couldn't... Is she hitting on Takumi?
Ieyasu and Daigorou are holding each other while naked.
I think I'll claim not to have seen this.
Who cares.
It's back to Takumi and her.
Huh? What? What is this?
What's with this "alone together" situation?
What is the meaning of this!
The scene changed again.
Hey, put us back to the last scene!
I have to know what they're talking about!
That rock climbing was hard.
It was fun.
To be honest, not too far away from there was an elevator.
What? Then tell us that before we start!
Ah... This certainly did happen.
And then the boys turned into stars.
No, they didn't.
I bet Takumi was born under one of those stars of misfortune.
Then again, seeing as how he's childhood friends with Serizawa... Such misfortune.
What did you say?
It's likely that powers such as luck are being erased by your right hand.
Uh, what?
05 "The Stray Cat Cried"
Suddenly Umenomori goes off the deep end.
Oh, now I remember!
This was when the summer festival was held in the shopping district.
Yeah, we had so much trouble back then.
Didn't we, Umenomori?
Uh, what? She's gone?
Chise said she was going to the bathroom.
"It's not like I'm escaping because I caused everyone trouble," she said.
That girl...
The way she laughs here really makes me grind my gears.
Fumino, smile, smile.
Yeah, you're right. I'm always having to serve customers, after all.
Nozomi, don't copy her.
Because of that, Otome-san agreed to be in the swimsuit competition to advertise our store, but...
But seriously, to break a swimsuit from having large breasts... How big would they have to be?
Don't worry. Yours will reach that size for sure some day, Fumino.
No, I wasn't really worried about that.
So in the end, Nozomi and I ended up in the swimsuit competition.
But then Umenomori popped up, huh?
What is this pose?
In certain tribes, this pose is meant to appeal to men.
Oh... That's what it was...
Fumino and Chise are fighting.
Well, I finally understand what Umenomori was thinking when she did all those things.
If she felt lonely, she should have come out with it.
She didn't have to do it in such a roundabout way.
But, it is hard to say it out loud.
Yeah, it is.
Sure. I understand how it feels.
06 "The Stray Cat is Troubled"
Yo! Good work you two.
Hey you, where did you suddenly go off to?
I don't have that much free time, you know.
More importantly, look at this scene! Look!
It's the story about our memorable Stray Cats Association promotional video.
Oh. The time when Kikuchi the Otaku went on a rampage, dragging us around the world.
Worldwide.
We blew up buildings, made it snow in the desert, painted all the leaves in the jungle red... It was just absurd.
And everything we did was made possible by my Umenomori Group!
I'm telling you, that is nothing to be proud of!
Huh? What's that?
Half-fish Man of the Jungle
There in the middle of-
Half-fish Man of the Jungle
All right Umenomori, it's time we put on some blindfolds.
Hey! But I can't see anything like this!
We received some instructions while you were gone.
Once we reach this point, we better close our eyes.
How come?
Well, I don't know!
Nozomi, do you have your eyes shut?
Yeah, I do.
Unless you look down on them from the sky, these are so large that you can't understand what they are. The largest one is 50 km long.
But we won't know what's going on at all like this.
Unless you look down on them from the sky, these are so large that you can't understand what they are. The largest one is 50 km long.
We can't make our commentary!
Unless you look down on them from the sky, these are so large that you can't understand what they are. The largest one is 50 km long.
Besides going around the world, did we do anything else?
Unidentified Flying Object
Fumino and Chise were composing a song.
World's Tallest Mountain
Since 2002, the government of Nepal has banned youth under 16 from climbing this mountain.
Oh, now that you mention it...
Since 2002, the government of Nepal has banned youth under 16 from climbing this mountain.
With my artistic brilliance shining, I was about to compose the song of the century.
Since 2002, the government of Nepal has banned youth under 16 from climbing this mountain.
Himalayan Yeti (Male)
Meanwhile, your song was about the level of a kid's work!
I was trying to come up with something easy to remember and sing.
Anyway, aren't the blindfolds a bit much now?
Oh, sure.
Ah! Sudenly Takumi looks like he's about to die!
But Otome came and saved us.
I thought it was all over.
A lot of stuff happened, and the promo video was completed!
Bang, bang, hyoo, hyoo, puff, puff.
Jumped to the end, didn't it.
Ah, we're out of time! We'll continue in the second half!
Don't change the channel.
Here it is!
Valorous Super Human Grand Braver!
Don't go shouting all of a sudden.
Silly, with something like this, the louder and rowdier you get, the better it is!
Now, Nozomi, do the title call.
The Light of Awakening
Episode 26: The Light of Awakening.
It's here! Finally here here here here!
The Valorous Super Humans
Stop that, Umenomori. You're being obnoxious!
So awesome!
Here it comes! It's coming!
You are not in any way a mere coward!
She just started singing...
You simply don't know how to use your bravery yet.
I really hope you're not going to sing the whole song like that...
If you're feeling out, you can sing too.
No, thank you.
All right, Nozomi. After this, are you ready?
What? Nozomi?
Buh! buh, buh, dreams!
Buh! buh, buh, love!
She's losing it... and Nozomi with her.
Grand Braver!
Enough, Umenomori. Stop! Stop!
What? I was just getting into the swing of singing.
Would you two mind not looking at me so accusingly?
Wait a moment, isn't this the video that Chise had made?
All of us were forced into the film studio.
Although a certain somebody didn't need any help "losing herself" in her role.
That's because you said we couldn't go home until we were done filming!
To become a talented performer, one must make sacrifices.
"Sacrifices?" You...
Also, Kikuchi told me something.
It seems this is faithful to the original?
That's right. The opening and ending both used the exact same songs from the Grand Braver anime.
08 "The Stray Cats Pulled Out"
The script and scene cuts were unchanged!
So even though I didn't show up much, I put up with it.
Wait, if it was that similar, then why would you go out of your way to make it?
You just don't get it, do you?
Showing your love by replicating it is the path of the true maniac.
Cosplay as a baby and say "babu"
I don't even want to get it.
Chise, Fumino, we've moved on to the next scene.
Oh, you're right.
Super Blocks, huh?
I guess we did do something like this.
Something just came out.
Isn't this cheating?
Certainly not.
This is my willpower emerging as a vision.
Its name:
Ah, it's fine. I don't want to hear it.
What? Listening for a bit is not going to kill you.
That aside, this really is cheating!
Huh? What are you talking about?
Aren't you just misinterpreting what you're seeing?
You're saying more than we should know!
"With this, I can pick the blocks I want," you said-
Old swimsuit
Ah, Fumino in a school swimsuit.
Had I known the rules would be like this, I would not have participated.
Brave Kaiser!
Oh, sure. You were so into it.
China dress
Chi-nya.
Sexy beam.
Sexy bunny
Nozomi, you're reading that wrong.
The cosplay commands being unleashed here were but the most terrible ruse...
The true aim is...
Kissing the opposite sex!
You're a real idiot!
What?
Just from a game... making people kiss?!
Then you should have taken out a different block.
But you were so attached to it.
What do you mean, I was "attached" to it?
We reached this conclusion because you were like, "I'm taking this block!"
I-I'm not concerned with whom Takumi ends up kissing.
I don't care in the slightest, tiniest bit!
Yeah, yeah, we get it already.
Next one! We're going on to the next scene.
09 "The Stray Cats Swam"
The Stray Cats' relaxation trip!
You really forced a change in topic, huh.
That was fun, right, Nozomi?
We played loads in the ocean.
Nya, it was fun.
Kind of letting something slip for us here, Serizawa Fumino.
What?
You're telling us how fun this all was, you see...
And you... You and Takumi disappeared off to somewhere after this, right?
That was...
Oh, yes. In this rubber boat.
Alone with Takumi.
I am jealous.
Is that it? Are you aiming for something here? Are you?
No! That just ended up-
See? It was like this: When we went out in the boat, it suddenly started raining...
And then...
Thanks to that, my plans were completely ruined.
Huh? Plans?
That's right! In the evening, after dinner, we were going to play hide-and-seek using the entire inn.
Hide-and-seek?
That sounds fun.
Now this all seems... Well...
You had this set up so we would revisit our childhood.
So then, Takumi and I would hide alone, and then, we'd hide in a closet-like narrow space, and then-
So that was what you were really up to.
We would make a promise about our future, and then...
Kiss passionately!
Geez... It feels like we made the right move getting stranded on the boat.
It's all right, Fumino.
Huh? What is?
I will never leave Takumi.
The three of us will be together in the closet.
Uh, that doesn't-
It would be so cramped that we wouldn't be able to breathe!
Wait, no. If that's the case, I'll have Satou and Suzuki guard Nozomi!
I'll have Otome attack.
Guard cancel.
In that case, I summon Kikuchi the Otaku!
Using the "Kouga-chan insider" attack, he'll activate his trap!
Uh, sorry to disturb when you're so cheerful, but we've moved on to the next scene.
10 "The Stray Cat Took it Away"
It's Honoka.
That was a surprise too.
Otome-san suddenly brought in a girl with her.
I was brought in by Otome too.
That was also a surprise.
This time, it was an elementary schooler.
It doesn't seem like age mattered to anybody at that time...
This was how she picked me up.
I somehow doubt it.
I've realized something:
You shouldn't be disturbed by each and every thing Otome does.
Rather naive. That conclusion is very unlike Otome-san.
CLOSED
Her target this time was an elementary school girl...
Should things get worse, Stray Cats might be forced to shut down.
When that happens, I'll hire all of you for my Pâtisserie Umenomori.
And then between me, the owner; and Takumi, the manager,
eventually, we'll have the first kiss to break hierarchical taboos...
You still haven't tossed that ambition of yours, I see.
Well now, that girl really took a liking to Nozomi, right?
She was just in the bath with her, too.
Did something happen?
She must have come to sense Nozomi's pure heart, being a child.
Probably impossible for you, right?
What was that?
See? You getting angry here means I'm spot on.
In the end, Honoka-chan wasn't a stray cat. She had a home to go back to.
But she said she would come and play again...
...because we're friends.
Ah, yes! I've thought of something great!
We should make Honoka a special member of the Stray Cats Association!
Basically, you like Honoka-chan and want to make her one of your friends, right?
11 "The Stray Cats are Divided"
No! That's not... I just...
It's already on to the next one.
Eh?
This was when we were looking at some video sharing website, right?
I tried dancing.
Viewed over 500,000 times!
By the way, the music playing in the background is the one made for the promotional video.
Yes, I know.
A suspicious looking research lab showed up!
Here's a suspicious person!
She's not suspicious.
She's Shimako-san.
Iwashita?
Murasame.
All of this was happening without our knowledge, right?
Wait, the video Umenomori circulated was the cause, wasn't it?
And so was this declaration that bloomers would become the girls' gym outfit!
Ah. Fumino's eye shined.
Man, lately, I've been hooked on historical dramas.
She said it herself.
If I were to compare myself to one of those people, it would be Sakamoto Ryouma.
[Sakamoto Ryouma: An anti-feudal visionary who lead a movement to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate in the mid-1800s.]
A main character, of course.
This thing that Kikuchi is wearing was pretty expensive.
They were all made-to-order special items.
Surprise, surprise.
Hey, didn't we just miss something important that Nozomi said?
Don't worry about it. Keep going.
Oh... Really?
Kikuchi and Naruko Kanae's "Bloomer Chain!" and "Tights Meteor Fist!" now makes you think they understand the situation, right?
I'm sorry. I don't get it. Maybe it's age.
Ah, Fumino is blushing.
This was...
What were you going to say? What did you want to say after this?
Ah, Shimako-san.
It finally moved on.
So? What were you going to say, blushing like that?
Are you going to bring that up?!
Why wouldn't I?
12 "The Stray Cat Decided"
Uh, Nozomi, what's that about the thirteenth Murasame?
That's...
Dodged the question, didn't you?
Oh, it's the day of the sports festival's rehearsal.
No matter, I'll take my time and ask you about it later.
Understood. I'll ignore you with everything I have.
Hey!
But really... All this chanting about bloomers is giving me a headache.
Yeah. So Nozomi, who joined neither the Bloomers Faction nor the Tights Faction, decided to create the Bloots Faction.
When I first heard her say "Bloots," I had to raise an eyebrow...
Oh. Nozomi got extraordinarily motivated here!
But wearing those "bloots" would mean you're wearing both bloomers and tights, right?
Yeah.
How should I put this...
Wouldn't that... get stuffy?
Wait, what are you asking that for?
So, in the end, the sports festival rehearsal was won by Nozomi's Bloots Faction, thanks to her great efforts.
It was also extraordinary when Nozomi announced that she wanted to do the three-legged race with Takumi.
Fumino and Chise resigned for me.
I was happy.
This lady is...
Yes. She's the director from the place I came from.
She came to take me back.
She did?!
I liked everyone in the institution.
But Fumino, Chise, and Takumi...
I like everyone in Stray Cats, too.
Yup, we know. It's fine, Nozomi.
Sheesh. That Nozomi really had the last word, right?
But that's okay! I'll forgive you.
Thank you. I'm really happy now.
Having said that, we've reached the end, right?
Time went by faster than I'd thought it would.
There was plenty to talk about.
Although for me, it wasn't nearly enough, you know!
Sorry, it's enough for me.
Fumino is tired.
Pretty much.
So how about it? Looking back on the activities of the Stray Cats Association, is there something you would like to say?
There isn't much time left!
Uh, there's nothing I really-
I see. "Chise-sama is wise, beautiful, and a perfect young lady."
I did not say that.
"Chise-sama is fitting to become the queen of the world."
I told you I haven't said anything!
Lots happened, and it was fun.
It was. There were robots, Super Blocks, the ocean, and a battle between the Bloomer and Tights Factions.
Hey, isn't Umenomori the source of almost all of this?
A person over there is spinning his hand around.
Ah, you're right.
Meaning we're out of time and should wrap it up.
Very well then, "How did you find the Stray Cats Association's Activities Journal?"
Uh, seems like that flipped a switch.
It was rather lengthy, bu-
Whose fault is that? Whose!?
Lengthy.
Painful as it is, it's time for us to leave.
But I will assuredly rise once again!
Do not think it is the end!
What's she screaming for-
Your hosts were the world's Gentlelady Umenomori Chise and...
Huh? Serizawa Fumino, and...
Nyaa... Kiriya Nozomi.
So they were!
Now then, everyone. See you next week!
Next week?!
Ah, slight mistake.
I love everyone.
