10 "The Stray Cat Took It Away"
...it's 7 o'clock and 27°C.
The final week of summer vacation will be as hot as the first ten days of August...
...so don't bother taking an umbrella.
However, due to the heat, there has been an increase in reported heat strokes.
When going outside, wear a hat and drink plenty of water.
Make sure you have a plan to combat the heat before leaving.
Moving right along, we...
I've caught you!
Welcome!
Hey, Fumino-chan!
Is Otome-chan not here?
Yes, it seems she had some urgent business...
Again?
Did she find another disaster?
Ahem! Today's recommendation is the Chou a la Creme-
Too delicious!
Chou a la Creme
100 yen each
Here!
These are some souvenirs from last week's visit to my family!
Give it to Otome-chan for me-
Here's a watermelon I picked up in my wife's hometown!
Eat it together, yeah?
You interrupted me!
You were talking too long!
T-Thanks.
Bye! Give our regards to Otome-chan!
Nozomi!
Help me carry these back.
A strange sound.
Chop-chop!
Dive!
Move out!
Move, move, move.
Now then, milady, give us your orders...
...whenever you like.
I've made you wait, my minions.
Particularly...
Hey, where's Takumi?
You're annoying. There's no way I'd know.
What's going on with the store?
There are more souvenirs from the neighbours in here than there are cakes we're selling!
What kind of a pâtisserie is that?!
What am I supposed to do about it?!
All we get are customers coming to see Otome-san!
Oh, how very unpleasant. You look so pitiful when you get belligerent.
So, where's Otome-san?
Don't know.
Not here!
Then why don't we write "Out of Otome" on the board?
Don't make it sound like we're selling people!
Welcome to Stray Cats!
* Out of Otome right now *
Chou a la Creme
Strawberry Chou a la Creme
Nozomi!
Don't take her seriously!
By the way...
Is she not a customer?
Um... Honoka-chan, was it?
Yes.
It can't be too comfortable out here in the shop.
Go make yourself comfortable in the living area.
I'm fine.
But...
I'm... not very good with cats.
Am I being a nuisance here?
Oh, not at all!
We don't have a single customer, after all.
Shut up!
So? What happened here?
Well...
All right! Introduction time!
Me-meow.
Perfect!
You did great!
Look, look! She's cute, isn't she!
I fell for her the moment I saw her!
She looks like a little doll!
Pardon, Otome-san...
What is it?
I don't find this likely, but...
You haven't picked up another one, have you...?
Oh, dearie me!
Jealous? Are you jealous, Fumino-chan?
Don't fret, everyone here is perfectly cute.
That's not what I was talking about.
Oh, no!
I can't stay long. I've got to get moving.
But, this girl... and where's Takumi!?
Takumi...
...went to Ieyasu's house to go on a top-secret independent training camp.
He packed up things for an overnight stay, along with himself, into a suitcase...
Then Daigorou-kun carried him off...
They were in such a hurry; I couldn't stop them.
Normally, people would stop that from happening!
Now then, Honoka-chan. Can you get along with these two girls?
Yes.
Just to be sure...
Hmm?
...this girl is somebody you know, right?
Oh, you already know the answer.
She's trying insinuate some deeper meaning with that look on her face...
I'll be back in two or three hours, take care!
Wha-
So that's how it is.
Otome's picked up another one.
Cut that out. She isn't a cat.
Still, isn't this like what's happened before?
Meow.
I picked her up.
Katsuobushi cream.
Meow?
See? I think it's the same.
It means that another stray cat has joined Stray Cats.
But, she's so young-
Didn't you know?
An idol group usually has a tiny member or two these days. It's plain common sense!
Don't bring your "special" common sense into this!
Even Otome-san wouldn't...
Come to think of it, it's because it's Otome-san that I'm worried.
Here's our new member, Honoka-chan!
So cute!
Twinkle!
CLOSED
Like that?!
Ah, geez... at times like this, what the hell is that stupid Takumi doing?!
Hand.
Sorry?
Well, aren't we slow!
But fine. From now on, as the role model of Stray Cats, and as one of my serfs, I shall train you diligently.
Hey, you! It'll be bad if you just go along with her!
What's a "serf?"
It's nothing at all!
Do your best to keep it at that.
This girl's a bit, well, you know...
Don't let her worry you.
What do you mean, "you know?!"
Think about the bad influence you're giving!
It's not something I'd want to talk about in front of this nice girl,
so I'm being as indirect as possible!
Hmph! Hmph, I say! Fumino, you've got that sort of-
And yet you're-
What do you mean, "that sort of?!"
You figure it out!
Wow, this is amazing, Nozomi.
What's this now?
Well? Satou, Suzuki?
Yes. Yes...
Bie... bu... nyu-hey?
I knew it all along.
It means "welcome." It's used to greet new-
You just asked about it!
Welcome? Me?
Huh? Why is Nozomi fine with this too?
Come on now, it's perfectly easy to understand.
Out of the blue, Otome brings in a cute girl and causes a big commotion.
"See? Isn't she cute?"
And then she goes "meow."
And then, "Ah! Otome is so satisfied!"
And that's what happened.
That doesn't make any sense!
Honoka-chan, you do know Otome-san, right?
Yes, I met her today.
R-Really, now.
So, how did you meet her?
I was taking a break at the park...
And then?
She yelled "I caught you!"
Otome-san... why...?
You see?
It's okay, I'll get it.
I bet it's Otome-san.
Ieyasu
Hello! This is Pâtisserie Stray Cats...
Is this Serizawa?
Tsk, tsk, tsk... Your voice isn't moe enough!
Caller: I.K. -san
And, where's the sentence-ending formalities? Huh?
I've told you to say "gozaimasuno-nyuu" or "go, gozaimasuno-ryuu!"
...and so on, but you're not giving off any bit of obedience!
There's no strong character coming though...
...but that could be a strong point!
Thinking all this up, I'm really something!
Such gimmicks that mess with the player's mind are common sense these days!
Now let's review. Repeat after me: "gozaimasuno-nyuu."
One more time!
Don't hang up!
Listen, I'm not in the mood to deal with freaks.
Where's Master Otome?
Not here.
Then Takumi's stay over here shall be lengthened by a bit.
Takumi!
Relay that to the Master for me-
Hey, put Takumi on the line!
Wait, can you hear me? Takumi?!
Come back this instant!
Got it? I'll wait five minutes,
but if you're late by even a second, you know what will happen!
Not happening.
Until he has undertaken all items on my personally designed "Super Secret Independent Training" menu,
I cannot return him.
Mr. I.K. currently used avatar
So anyhow, give my regards to Master Otome.
Takumi, stay focused on that!
Hey, wait!
Takumi...
Well then, I guess we'll put away her things.
You help, too.
Welcome.
I'll take two Chou a la Creme like last time.
Sure, two of them-
One is for your grandkid, right?
I'll give you a bonus one.
My, how terribly nice of you... hmm?
A new employee?
No, not exactly...
Oh, I see. I thought perhaps Otome-chan had scouted someone new again.
Thank you for your patronage!
Now, seriously, isn't that doorbell getting obnoxious?
Go fix it already.
Takumi will do it later.
Goodness, aren't you getting a bit mixed up?
As my serf, Tsuzuki Takumi can receive orders from his master only: me.
Oh, really?
You aren't going to fix it?
How about you order your prized serf to do it?
Bring a doorbell.
Ah, it's a pain, so just take the whole door.
Are you planning to destroy this store?
What's the problem? I'm dealing with the problem at the source.
That's going too far!
Okay, I get it... You guys won't put up with it, either.
Everyone will be satisfied if I just do it, right?
Here we go...
The heck are you doing!?
Sorry, are you all right?
My hand accidentally touched you...
I'm so clumsy!
As if.
Now you've done it.
I didn't do it on purpose.
Hey, hurry up and fix it.
Sure, sure.
Ah, sorry!
You okay? Anything hurt?
Sorry, but no.
Gracious, whatever do you mean?
Rain.
...I repeat, the Suzunone area,
although predicted to clear up by midnight, flood warnings have been issued for certain rivers. Remain alert.
What on earth is Otome-san doing?
This is Otome!
My batteries are dead, or I'm out of reach.
Don't lose hope and call me again later, 'kay?
No luck.
Guess we'll close the store for today.
For heaven's sake.
Wow, it's coming down in buckets.
You've got some gall, defying the forecast of the Umenomori weather satellite!
Who are you complaining to?
Ah! Isn't the laundry still hanging outside?
Nozomi, Umenomori, take over here.
What do you think, Teruteru Umenomori Number Two?
"I don't have a clue!"
I guess that's about right.
Since when have you had that weather doll?
No, it's...! It's not like I'm praying that the weather would clear up...
This is just... one of those... Yeah, one of the Umenomori family's...
Hold that side.
You had thought it would rain.
Didn't you?
Yes.
I did too.
Hey, you two! What are you doing out there getting soaked?
Preparing
Onee-chan.
Nozomi.
Nozomi...?
Onee-chan, you don't know me, do you?
You don't know what kind of kid I am or what I'm good at or helpful with.
But... you don't ask about anything.
Why?
Who knows.
What?
Bubbles?
I said "that's odd!"
Otome-neesan
This is Otome!
My batteries are dead or I'm out of reach-
Still no luck.
I can't reach her at all.
So, what are you going to do?
What do you mean?
If we go home, Nozomi will be left alone with that little girl.
Aren't you worried?
I'll wait until Otome-san comes back.
I'd like to ask her about that girl.
You can go home.
Ha-ha, I've seen right through you.
You're going to drive me out and give a more favourable impression to Otome.
Three fingers
"Welcome back."
Wearing only an apron
"You were waiting for me?"
"Of course!"
"You're my Onee-sama after all!"
...saying something like that!
That's pathetic, Serizawa Fumino!
Since you can't face up to me on the front lines, you're starting out with Otome's route?!
Of course I'm not!
And Takumi certainly has nothing to do with this!
Oh my! I didn't say a thing about Takumi though.
In any case, I will not allow you to meddle with my serfs.
I'll be waiting here with you until Otome gets back.
Do as you like.
Nozomi-oneechan.
Here.
A notebook?
I can look at it?
Just don't laugh.
OK.
Pretty.
Blue-and-white flycatcher female right?
So they're called flycatchers...
How can you tell it's female?
The wings, see?
The females have sky-blue wings.
Oh? I saw one for the first time today.
And before I knew it... somewhere along the way...
I got separated from my mum.
Mum?
Mum?!
Yay! I'm back!
Don't just say "I'm back," Otome-san!
Where have you been, coming back this late?!
You wouldn't answer your phone, either...
I... I was...
Sorry 'bout that!
So where's Honoka-chan?
Honoka?!
Hey! Honoka!
I'm sorry!
Heavens, I was worried sick!
Hold it right there, Honoka!
Um...
Then...
Honoka-chan was...
Yup. While she was chasing after a bird, she got separated from her mum.
But I found her mother straight away!
I heard a "ding!" the moment I overheard that there was a search request for a child at the first block's police box.
I hurried over there to make sure, and bingo!
The first block's police box... is about 30 minutes away by bike, I think.
But a lot of things happened along the way, you see.
Like collecting buckets to manage a flood...
Contacting the U.N. for assistance and building breakwaters...
My, that was crazy.
I'm terribly sorry for all the trouble.
Come on, Honoka, don't just stare.
Oh, it's fine! I made you tag along with me all over the place today.
Yeah... I mean, I'm so glad to have gained valuable experience building breakwaters.
That sounds fun, Mum-
In no way was it!
So Honoka-chan's going back, then...
Well, of course she is.
She has a place to go back to.
You! If you had parents waiting for you, why didn't you tell us?
Because I wasn't asked.
What an unpleasant kid-
I don't care. Everyone says that.
Little kids like you...
...should hold their parents' hands and not let go of them.
But, fine. Next time, you had better be prepared for the consequences.
I'll drive the world-renowned Umenomori style into your skull.
Next time?
Okay, let's go home.
Come over again.
You wouldn't want to?
But... I have no reason to come here.
You do.
Everyone will be waiting to see you.
There, there.
What do they like?
Cat food and katsuobushi.
But what they want the most...
...is friends.
I'll bring some katsuobushi next time!
Friends can't be bought.
There they go.
A place... to go back to.
That took a fair amount of time.
Fumino...
You were worried about me and waited out here?
Huh?
Are you stupid? Why would I be worried about you when you don't come back after a single night?
Sorry, but listen to me, Fumino...
Hey, what happened to you?
I did it, I finally did it...
Takumi...
I finished every single one of them.
To dedicate my life to 2D moe, I've completed an otaku maniac's beloved anime selection DVD marathon...
Twice... no...
Fumino... I...
Die two and two million times!
