Richard and James are getting pretty big, aren't they?

Really?

Are you going to roast sweet potatoes?

I keep telling her that it's impossible.

Yeah, there aren't enough fallen leaves yet.

That's not quite enough.

Chi-chan, get me a saw.

Stop right there.

~ Stone-roasted sweet potatoes! ~

Shall we just buy some instead?

Okay!

Let's go, Matsuri-chan.

Huh?

~ Stone-roasted sweet potatoes! ~

O-Okay.

It smells so good!

Which one do you want?

I think I'll have that one.

Then I'll have this big one.

What about you, Matsuri-chan?

Um... Well...

~ Stone roasted sweet potatoes! ~

I think I'll have that medium sized one.

Growing Child

Let's eat!

Yes!

You guys! How can you have fun eating those loser potatoes?

So, I guess you won't be eating one then.

Thanks for the food!

Hey, you're eating the biggest one!

We all picked ours a second ago.

This one is yours.

Hey, Chubby?

It's delicious!

Chubby.

Huh? Are you talking to me?

Don't you think you've gained a little weight lately?

No matter what you say, I still won't give this to you.

No, I'm serious!

See?

Stop it!

See, Chubby?

Who are you calling Chubby?

Careful, don't burn your mouth, Matsuri-chan.

Uh-huh.

You know...

Maybe I'm spoiled from Chi's baking, but this isn't very satisfying.

Yes, Chika-chan's snacks are so good!

Hey, Chi, will you make us something?

Huh? O-Okay, I don't mind.

Ah, I want...

Chocolate cookies, right? I know you like those.

I like them, too!

Okay, just wait here.

I'll help!

No, thanks. You don't have to come.

Naw, couldn't be.

No way!

T-That can't be!

I-I know. The scale is off.

No, it's not.

When did you get here?

Well...

"Eek!"

From there.

I told you not to come!

Anyway, how much weight did you gain?

My weight hasn't changed at all.

You were saying weird things, so I just weighed myself to check.

Then what was "eek!" about?

I can't believe I gained that much weight.

Maybe I really am getting chubby.

I had this in my pocket! That's why!

Oh, that scared me.

Are they ready yet?

N-Not quite.

Oh.

C'mon, just tell me how many kilograms you gained?

I haven't gained weight. Really.

Note: Moe King Flour For Tempura, Baking, Okonomiyaki

There's a kilogram of flour in here.

Hmm, this scale can weigh up to two kilograms.

There's 10 kilograms of rice in here.

Ch-Chi-chan, don't tell me you gained 10 kilograms!

Of course not!

Never mind that! If you're gonna be here, then help me.

Okay!

You can draw pictures or whatever you want.

Okay, I'll draw a dog.

All done!

Let me see.

Note: Fat

I was trying to write "dog," but...

You sure eat slowly, don't you Matsuri-chan?

Yes, I'm always the last one to finish my school lunch.

Hello.

Huh? Oh, Onee-sama?

Ana-chan? Sorry. Matsuri-chan is...

...drinking tea and catching her breath.

Satake

That tastes about right.

Don't you think this tastes a little strange?

Huh?

It tastes fine to me.

You think so? Try this one.

And this one.

This was the beginning of Chi-chan's Weight Gain Hell.

Shut up! Stop goofing around!

But you usually eat this much.

What?

When you bake, you eat a few to taste-test.

I didn't realize I did that.

Testing the flavor? Yeah, you do it often.

Mom was laughing and saying that you're always checking the taste.

Really?

Hey, I said to wait until I got back from the bathroom!

You sure shout a lot over petty things.

There's plenty left...

Take the ones over there.

No, this one is poisonous.

Then don't eat it.

Huh? Aren't you gonna have any, Chika-chan?

No, I'm fine.

I don't want any right now.

I bet you ate too many testing the flavor.

Y-You're wrong!

After I worked so hard making them!

I'm the one that made them!

Chi-chan's gained weight!

She'll be a fine sumo champion!

I have not gained weight!

Thanks for the food!

We received lots of cake, so I thought I'd share.

One, two, three...

There's exactly five.

But can we really have these?

Yes. My family can't eat them all.

I call dibs on this one.

Chi, I see one that you'd like.

U-Um...

Aren't you gonna eat one?

Um... No.

Then gimme!

Huh?

Are you sure this is okay?

Yes, I really don't feel like eating...

Thanks for the cake!

Delicious!

This one is delicious too!

Oh, I'm sorry.

Do you want a bite?

A bit of cold sweet potato.

Make sure you win the next sumo tournament too, Chubby Chika!

Just go home already!

Bye, James.

Isn't that Richard?

Huh? R-Really?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Okay, I'll take you two home now.

Let's go, Satake.

Thanks for having us!

You're welcome! Bye!

This time there's nothing in my pockets.

And I hardly ate any cookies or cake.

That can't be.

I'm done.

Oh, you left so much of your food again.

Note: Easy Bath Diet Try the Twist Massage!

Note: Daily Caloric Requirements

Let's see.

I'm a kid, so I'll divide the calories in half.

Hey, Chi?

Do you have that CD I lent you the other day?

O-Oh. I thought I gave it back to you.

Just wait a minute.

Now, where did I put it?

What beautiful weather!

Why don't we all play outside? It's been awhile.

Well, we haven't been too active lately.

You're right. Let's do it!

Then let's call everyone and meet at the park.

Okay.

If she moves around a bit, I'm sure she'll feel better.

Masaka Park

Okay, we're all here.

I'm not really good at sports.

Don't worry about it.

I only called you so that the teams would be even.

What? That's the only reason?

Well, why don't we play baseball!

Chi, you don't mind being the pitcher, do you?

Okay.

But I don't really know the rules that well.

It's really easy.

This ball is called a strike.

Hit a homerun and you're out.

Sounds like she just said all the words she knows.

Okay, I'll be the umpire.

Play ball!

Don't say things you don't understand with such confidence!

Um... What do I do?

Uh... Well, you two go over there and if the ball comes your way, catch it.

Okay, let's begin.

Make sure to do the catcher's job, too, okay?

Okay!

Chi-chan!

We didn't discuss hand-signals at all before the game.

I'll just ignore her.

Here goes!

Onee-chan, you took my comic book, didn't you?

Did I?

Runaway

Everyone is laughing at me. I wonder why?

You're just imagining things.

How do you read this kanji?

Oh, that's pronounced "Batistuta." Don't forget it now.

Oops...

Y-You!

I'm sorry.

I was just remembering a lot of things.

Huh? Remembering what?

Strike!

Huh? Why?

It was just barely in.

That's not what it's about!

Then let's call it "ball."

It's not "ball" either!

You talked back to the umpire! You're out of the game!

Out of the Game

~ Bamboo laundry poles... ~

The ball isn't coming over here.

I'm bored.

Heads up!

Just catch it!

No, I can't! It's impossible!

Um... It's this way!

No, it's that way!

Look out!

I'm entitled to two bases, I think.

Really?

Announcer

Kagome. Kagome.

I think it's better to play soccer in the park than baseball.

I can play a little bit of soccer.

I'll be the referee!

Tweet! You're out!

No. I haven't done anything yet.

But how are we going to divide into teams?

The team that you're on will be stronger.

You're right.

Then it'll be me against all of you.

I'll win for sure anyway.

What? Really?

But no foul play, okay?

Okay!

Okay, let's begin!

Tweet!

Ana-chan!

Yes!

So it's Ana-chan, huh?

Here I go!

Hey, not bad, Onee-chan!

Come and get it.

That's not the way to do it, Ana-chan!

What?

You gotta do it like this.

I'm taking this!

Hey!

Ana-chan!

Yes!

Wait, you!

No way!

Pass!

Not so fast!

I won't let you!

Chi-chan, now!

O-Okay!

Huh?

There!

Goal!

Watch out, Matsuri-chan!

Nice try!

She's being an announcer, not a soccer player.

Miu!

You!

I didn't do it on purpose! When I saw you, I couldn't help...

You did do it on purpose!

Okay, let's play dodge ball next! I'll be the referee!

I've had enough of you!

I'm done.

Already? Look at how much you left on the plate!

I ate a snack earlier.

I'll eat the rest later.

That girl.

Chika's Room

Let's see. "Bend your knee and swing it out..."

"And hold it there for 10 seconds."

"And then lie still for 30 seconds and let your body and heart rest. I see."

That smells so good. I'm so hungry.

Smells good?

Note: Garlic Potato

Micchan!

Want some, Chubby?

No!

Chika, the bath's ready!

Okay!

I'm going to take a bath, so I'll see ya later.

Note: Easy Bath Diet

"Soak your back and bottom in the bath water..."

"...and lift your legs."

This is pretty tough.

This is the women-only bath house!

Oh, shut up!

How long are you gonna stay here?

What's your problem? I'm hanging out with you, as a friend!

Stop bothering me, would ya?

Go!

I told you to stop bothering me!

They say if you alternate showering with hot and cold water...

...it works like a massage.

And there are a few hundred kilos of water pressure in the bath...

...so it's good for dieting.

Did you read that book?

Yes.

Having you read it won't help me any.

Besides, you're always using things in my room without...

Micchan?

What are you doing?

Drifting away.

Hey, it's dark! In fact, it's pitch black!

Why? Where am I?

For a moment, I thought I really was drifting away.

Don't be ridiculous.

Now, move over.

It's cramped in here now.

We used to be able to play in here together.

We're bigger now, so it can't be helped.

Back then, I never had to worry about gaining weight or getting fat.

Chi-chan, you sound like a grown-up.

What are you, 48?

You're just childish, that's all.

For goodness sake. Oh well.

Sorry for not asking to borrow that book...

That's fine. But you know...

B-But I'm fat!

Huh?

It's true!

I gained 1 whole kilo since the last school fitness exam!

1 "whole" kilo?

What should I do?

If this keeps up, I'll...

Well, wait a minute.

You know what? Stand over there.

142.5 cm.

Well?

I'm taller.

See?

You're growing right now.

Since your body is growing, of course your weight is gonna increase.

The added weight is from the extra height.

I see.

That's why!

Go eat your food.

You left a lot on your plate.

Okay!

I'm glad that's over with.

"Once in your 20's you must watch out for extra fat."

No! Oh, the scale must be off.

Onee-chan?

Want me to bring you the diet book?

Yes.

I'm off.

Micchan, I'm gonna leave you behind! Hurry! Hurry!

Hey, wait!

Oh, Nobue, you haven't eaten yet?

I'm just gonna have coffee today.

Ouch!

A naughty shadow whispers in your ear

Our skirts fluttered

As a cool breeze tapped our knees

Where are you right now?

Keep it up! Don't give up!

You're too slow, Chi-chan!

I'm so tired of running!

Micchan, let me take a turn on the scooter.

Don't whine!

Are you saying you're okay with losing to the Matsuri-chan-Coppola-chan team?!

We're not competing against them.

But seriously, I wonder why Nobue-oneechan suddenly told us all to gather here?

What could she be thinking?

She's probably not thinking anything at all.

That would be you, Micchan.
