Hello, Masaki residence.
Oh, hello, Tenchi-sama's aunt.
Thank you for being so kind to Sasami.
Oh, and that dish you taught her to cook the other day...
Yes, we all enjoyed it very much.
What? I see.
Yes, I'm on my way.
Welcome home.
Tenchi-sama.
Thanks for taking the trouble, Auntie.
Coming all this way to bring Sasami-chan home.
Well, Sasami-chan, how was the baby doing?
He was cute.
I see.
Thanks again.
It's to celebrate the baby's birth, right?
Well, something like that.
I have to be going.
Ah, please come back with the baby next time.
Episode 8
Hello Baby
Yes?
Oh, Auntie.
Here are the diapers, the formula and the toys.
Thanks. You see, his mother just became ill all of a sudden.
And I knew you wouldn't mind taking care of the baby.
Anyway, it'll just be for a few days.
And with so many girls around the house, it'll be fine.
B-Baby?
Look, Aun...
Bye, good luck.
So it's up to us to take care of this baby for a while.
He's so cute.
He's too adorable.
Tenchi was much more adorable when he was little.
Wow, really?
Yeah.
They're obviously related.
See? His eyes look exactly like Tenchi-sama's.
Huh? They do?
If he's the grandson of Tenchi-sama's aunt,
that means he's related to me as well.
So you'll grow up to be like Tenchi-sama.
Oh! So cute!
Darling...
babies are so cute, aren't they?
R-Ryoko...
Now, let's play with mama.
Hey, stop it. Ow, stop it, baby.
See?
A monster like you can't be trusted with babies.
No way!
Come, come. You were scared, weren't you?
What?!
You!
No!
Tenchi-sama!
Thank God. He seems to be okay.
Taro-chan.
It's a baby!
He's so cute.
Mihoshi-san, will you change his diaper, please?
Huh?
O-Okay.
Ayeka-san, I'm sorry.
I guess your dress got a little wet.
Tenchi-sama, what's that?
This? This I have to go wash.
Please, Ayeka-san, you go ahead and change.
Really, you mean you're going to wash it?
Why don't you leave it to me, please?
Okay, then. Thank you.
My pleasure.
How thoughtful of her.
Now, first you take this...
Oh, I don't think I did it right.
Ten... chi.
Maybe this goes here or that goes there...
I guess he isn't here.
Mihoshi-san, you doing all right?
Yes! I'm doing just great!
I'll be done in a second.
Also, don't forget to put the diaper cover over it.
Hmm? Diaper cover?
I knew something was wrong.
This is a diaper cover.
Here.
There you are.
No, Ryoko-san.
His diaper cover isn't on yet.
He won't pee so soon.
But Tenchi-san told me so.
Tenchi was much, much cuter when he was a baby.
Okay.
Huh?
Someone must have made some already.
Just drink.
Drink it. Do it, do it. Come on.
Ryoko! Wait a minute.
What kind of stuff are you trying to give him this time?
It's the formula this time. I swear.
Ah! I thought so.
No good?
Oh, wow! I did it!
Now he is okay.
Yes!
We sure are lucky to have such nice weather.
Yes, indeed.
The spring mist is in the air.
What is it we are doing exactly?
Exactly what you think we're doing.
Hurray!
Hey! Ouch, ouch! Ow!
Please stop it.
Here, "aah".
Yuck.
Please don't cry anymore...
Take this and that!
Here. Let's see.
I had no idea how much work taking care of a baby is.
Well, well.
Now it's time to take a bath.
Are you ready? We're going in.
There! Nice and warm.
Babies feel so good, so soft and bouncy.
What do I do now?
Ah, even if you do that,
I can't breast-feed you yet.
Hey! Oh, no. Leave them alone.
No, please, stop it.
Tenchi-niichan...
Thank you, Sasami-chan.
Oh, my.
Diapers, diapers.
Milk, milk.
Oh, no, what shall we do?
Diapers, diapers...
Milk, milk...
Milk.
'Scuse me.
Who's there?
I'm busy right now. Come back later.
Huh?
Who is it?
I see.
Ah? Okay. Okay.
This is no good.
It doesn't suit your constitution at all.
Full of nourishment, makes you big and strong.
Yes, this is it.
Truly perfect.
W-What am I doing?
What the...
The baby is gone!
Where is he?
Washu-chan.
Whoa! I... I...
Washu-chan, you're taking care of the baby.
I-It's so annoying, really.
He just came into my lab, without even asking me.
Sorry, Washu-chan.
No one was taking care of him, so I had to.
Tenchi...
Good morning.
What about a morning kiss for me?
Stop it, Ryoko.
Oh, you were with Washu?
Take proper care of him.
What do you want?
Milk, of course.
How do you know?
Never mind. Just do it.
Here, have some milk.
Hey, there, crazy girl.
Are you trying to suffocate him?
You have to give him a break so that he can breathe.
You can't even feed the poor kid properly.
Sorry!
I didn't raise you to be a good-for-nothing.
You didn't raise me at all.
Here you are.
What's everyone doing here?
He's all yours now.
Just leave it all to me.
There, there.
Washu-sama?
Washu-chan, thank you.
Let me give you some milk now.
Come to your mommy, baby.
You're not holding him right!
I just can't work today.
Milk!
These girls, really.
Don't pull, okay?
Hey, calm down now.
Why do I have to do this?
Taro-chan!
It looks like the baby belongs to you now.
Guess I don't have a choice.
He's such an angel when he's asleep.
But once he wakes up...
That's the way it is.
He can't talk yet, you see.
So he has to show what he wants with his body,
saying I'm here, I want this.
You're a selfish little thing, aren't you?
That's only natural.
That's the only thing you can be when you're a baby.
What now?
Oh, you see...
I lost my mother when I was very little.
And I was wondering if this is how a mother and child are.
This was exactly how you and your mother were.
You think so?
I know so.
Oh, sorry. I woke you up.
I have to be on my way now.
Tenchi-dono.
Good night.
Good night, Washu-chan.
Ma... Mama!
I'm not your mama.
Mama, mama.
No, I'm not your mum.
Bingo!
Morning, Washu-chan.
Tenchi-dono, good morning.
It won't be long now. Just wait a moment.
Who could it be?
Yes, honey, it's coming.
Washu-chan...
Thank you for taking care of him.
Thank you. It was so nice of you, really.
That's okay.
I really appreciate it.
You did a great job for your age.
Oh, well...
There are many girls around here,
so I didn't have to take care of him alone.
Ma... Mama!
Hey, the baby's talking now.
Wow, he really is talking!
Mama.
Well, it's time for us to be going now.
And please tell Sasami-chan to come visit Taro-chan whenever she wants.
Okay, I'll be sure to tell her.
Yeah! Thank god he's gone.
You worked the hardest of us all, Washu-chan.
It was a lot of work, but then...
we'll miss him when he's gone, I guess.
He called me Mama.
Oh, babies, babies.
Tenchi-dono...
Eh?
I had a baby once.
What?
He was a member of the Royal Space Academy, like myself.
We were both students when we got married.
I loved him and felt so attached to him.
Me, him and the baby.
That was all I needed in the whole world.
But you see, he was from a very prestigious family.
While I was gone, messengers came from his family,
and he and the baby were taken away from me.
Lineage, social status...
Why should such things matter so much?
That's how grownups are.
If that's so... I'd be happier being a child.
Never, ever growing up.
Washu-chan, I don't know what to say.
I feel like...
Huh?
However, I wouldn't mind having your child.
W-Washu-san...
No. You can just call me Washu now.
Just close your eyes, Tenchi-dono.
You shouldn't do that to your mama, Ryoko-chan.
M-Mama, my butt! You just don't know when to stop, do you?
I thought I'd make you a little brother in case you're lonely being an only child.
You don't understand how a parent feels.
I'm so sad.
W-Washu-sama!
H-How dare you say such things when you have a husband?
How dare you?
It was years ago that I had a husband.
I am still very young.
And I'm lonely, come bedtime...
Ah, so embarrassing!
Hey, you, I'm not talking about that!
Don't you lay a finger on my Tenchi!
Ryoko, how dare you!
Shut up. I'm busy now.
Stop it, please, both of you.
Those kids are so helpless, right?
They never grow up, do they?
I know Tenchi would agree with me.
Though I sense you're nearby,
chika kuni ite mo anata no kokoro ni
近くにいてもあなたの心に
...I have no way of reaching you.
tado ritsuku michi doko ni mo nainone
辿りつく道 どこにもなぃのね
I just keep circling you...

Though we have all the time in the world to touch,

...our paths never intertwine.
futari sama yotte irudake
ふたり きまよっているだけ
I wish we could continue our silent dance...
aah kono mama damatte odotte imashou
ああこのまま黙って 踊っていましょう
...and not forget it until dawn breaks.
asaga kuru koro wasurete iiwa
朝がくる頃 忘れていいわ
I wish the brightness of my love...
