Merry Popotan

Mii's Place

Ow!

Who is it?

Mii?

It's dangerous to run

down the hallway like that.

Huh?

Oh, my.

Are you all right?

Who are you, anyway?

What is it, Ai?!

Ow.

It's puffy!

Puffy! Puffy!

Is he your friend, Mii?

Please walk quietly in the house.

I'm home!

What are you doing, Mii?

The Secret House

You came to take pictures of ghosts?

Yeah.

I mean, this house looks like

a haunted house...

...and no one seems to know

who lives here.

And...

Look! Look!

I've got one, too, Puffy Cheeks!

Haunted house, huh?

I guess that's what people would think.

You see...

...we really liked the location...

...so we had this house built

in a real hurry.

Right.

So, there are no ghosts.

Just like me! Just like me!

Puffy Cheeks!

Anyway, you mustn't sneak

into people's houses.

And you saw my sister naked!

This is a crime, you know!

Illegal entry.

In this case...

...you could also be charged

with assault on a female.

A-Anyway, you're a boy.

You should know it's wrong

to sneak in on naked girls.

Now, apologize.

It's all right.

There was no harm done.

Good thing there was no harm.

I'm sorry.

Oh, right.

We haven't been introduced.

Well, my name is Ai.

And my younger sister is Mai.

Hi.

And my youngest sister is Mii.

Call me Mii!

Okay, Puffy Cheeks?

And this is Mea, our maid.

I am Mea.

I have prepared some tea.

Come on, Unagi.

Introduce yourself.

This is Unagi, the ferret.

No, Unagi!

This is my Puffy Cheeks!

I am not your Puffy Cheeks. I'm Daichi.

Daichi?

Daichi, huh?

Well, could you tell us exactly

what you were doing here?

You must've had a reason...

...to come and take pictures of ghosts.

Yeah.

There's no such thing! No way!

My dad told me not to believe in that.

My grandma told me, too.

That everyone who dies goes to Heaven.

But I feel that they exist.

But can you prove it?

Well...

There are no ghosts.

That's right.

So, if I had a picture of a ghost

that would be proof.

I thought that would make Asuka happy.

I see. I see.

So, in other words...

...you really like this Asuka girl?

Did you kiss her? Well? Well?

Did you kiss her?

Kiss?

Kiss! You know. Kiss!

Enough, Mii!

You just shut your mouth, Mii!

Kiss.

I-It's not like I like her or anything.

It's just that, well...

I understand.

Now, let's get that picture of a ghost.

Here goes!

Creepy, creepy!

Creepy, creepy!

How's this?

Well, uh, I don't know.

Too gentle a face for a ghost.

You think?

We can take a picture of Mai.

There's no gentleness in her.

Ow, ow, ow!

Oh, my hands are doing this

on their own!

Then, how about we ask Mea?

Very well.

Creepy, creepy!

Creepy!

She almost seems too real.

I'm actually getting scared.

Yes.

Hurry up and take it.

Uh, right.

Cool!

Is that a real ghost?!

It's a ghost!

Another one here!

See. I told you that there are ghosts!

See? See?

Right.

But...

I know! Daichi!

Where did you take these?

At the abandoned house on the hill.

Really? But how?

Um, I sneaked in...

...and just started shooting.

And they just came out on film?

Y-Yeah.

Right.

So ghosts really do exist!

Uh, yeah.

Good.

They've all gone out.

Huh? Ai isn't here?

No, she isn't.

Where did they go?

How would I know?

If you'll excuse me.

That feels so good!

Puffy!

What? That's puffy, too?

Yeah.

They're not as puffy as Ai's boobies.

But they're much softer

than your boobies, Mai.

Hey!

Don't compare my breasts to a frog!

Oh, that's right.

You're not able to swim,

are you, Unagi?

Poor thing.

Ai!

Everyone was so excited

to see those pictures!

And Asuka was happy, too.

I see.

I'm glad to hear that.

Huh? Uh, right.

And I was wondering

if I could take more.

Hold it!

It's Puffy Cheeks!

Hey! Get away from me! Stop it!

Puffy lost against Flat.

Who're you saying is flat?!

Daichi.

Yes?

Do you think you can join us

this afternoon?

Then you can take your

pictures afterwards.

It's all about give and take.

Popotan.

Mii's Place

Mii's Place

Merry Popotan

A Christmas store?

A store with all sorts

of Christmas decorations.

That's why it's always

Christmas at my house.

Daichi...

...I want you and Asuka to

come and shop here.

We'll give you a good deal.

A good deal?

I'll give you a good deal, too.

A good deal, I say.

Hang on tight!

Popotan?

Yeah. Popotan.

We're off to find popotan now.

Come with us.

Sure, but what is this "popotan"?

This is popotan.

Huh? Isn't this tanpopo?

No, po-po-tan!

We like to call tanpopo "popotan".

Daichi...

...do you know where we can find

lots more around here?

Sure, but why do you want tanpopo?

It's popotan! Popotan!

Popotan.

That's very good!

Popotan, huh?

There's popotan!

There's lots! Popotan everywhere!

Let's see. Let's see.

So much space.

I'm sure here we can...

You can what?

Uh, nothing.

Let's go.

Ai, hurry up!

Come on! Daichi, too!

Puffy!

Puffy! Puffy!

Careful, Mii!

Just let go!

Puffy! Puffy!

Hello.

Could we have a little chat?

Hey! Wake up! You'll get fat!

You'll turn into a pig!

Let's go! Puffy cow!

Go!

Oh, is that right?

Yes?

Right.

Oh, I see.

Um, Ai?

What is it?

What are you doing here?

I'm having a chat.

With who?

With the popotan, of course.

Popotan?

All flowers talk, you know.

It's just that you can't hear them

with your ears.

I see.

Thank you.

All right, then.

We'll just have to ask others.

Puffy!

Get out of the way, Daichi!

Move! Move! Move!

Puffy!

Watch it, Daichi!

Hello.

I'd like to have a little chat.

Yes.

Lunchtime!

I love the lunches Mea makes!

No, I made that lunch.

What's the matter?

Can I have some, Ai?

Sure. Have as much as you want.

Thanks for the food!

I'm scared.

No creature has managed

to survive after eating...

...something that Ai made.

What? Is that right?

But it's so good!

You can't taste anything, Ai.

Just look at Daichi.

I'm so sorry.

Th-that's not true.

It's really good.

It tastes a little unusual,

so I was just caught off guard.

Delicious!

Oh, Daichi!

Daichi, you're a good guy.

Yes.

That's my Puffy Cheeks for you!

All right.

I'll play the ghost today.

It'll end up looking more like

a crazy female wrestler.

Did you say something, Mii?!

I never said you'd turn into

a wrestling monster woman.

Mii!

This is...

Wow!

This is...

...oh, over here!

I knew ghosts were real.

Thank goodness.

You like ghosts?

Uh, no.

I happened to see the ghost

of my dead mother...

...on my birthday recently.

I figured that she came to see me...

...but everyone said ghosts aren't real.

But thanks to you, Daichi,

I now know they exist!

Uh, but...

Thank you, Daichi.

Actually...

Daichi, what's the matter?

Don't be fooled.

There are no such things as ghosts.

I happened to see this

under Daichi's desk.

See.

Asuka, there's an explanation for this.

They do exist, right?

Well, uh...

Keep ticking, old clock.

Uh...

Miss Ai, Miss Mai and

Miss Mii are all out today.

Huh?

Please leave.

Please wait!

Ai.

What's the matter?

Um, well...

We don't have any time left.

Why are you letting him in the house?

You need to give me more time.

Well, if that's what you want.

Mea, get us some tea.

And call Mii.

Miss Mii has gone to take a bath.

I see.

What?!

In the bath with Puffy Cheeks!

Uh, Ai?

Now, put on your clothes!

I see.

To Asuka?

Yes.

The popotan were telling me

just yesterday...

...that there were finally people

who could hear them.

It's difficult to accept and

understand things...

...that you can't see or hear.

But things like that do exist.

When you ate my sandwich

and said it was delicious...

...I felt the kindness that went

along with your words.

You took those pictures because

you wanted to help someone...

...and the feelings expressed

were not something you can see.

It's not easy to recognize

how others feel at times.

But I believe in them.

I know that the feelings

will come across.

Uh...

Yes?

Who are you people, Ai?

I wonder.

Thank you.

It was the first time that anyone

said my food was good.

How pretty!

Are ghosts...

Are ghosts for real?

I'm sure they are.

Yeah.

Do you still have those pictures?

Yeah.

What? What's the matter?

I-It's nothing.

Something's fishy.

Let's see!

I said it's nothing!

Let's see! Let's see!

It's nothing!

I want to love you in technopunk

I transmit my love through the airwaves

I want to be romantic with you

I want you to laugh

I love, love, love you

S.U.K.I. Thump thump love

S.U.K.I. Gimme gimme kiss

S.U.K.I. Suki suki love

S.U.K.I. You love me? Kiss

Round and round

The needle of the time-space clock

Points to our star charts

The secret of love is revealed

I want to know more about

what makes my heart go thump thump

If every boy and every girl

believed in miracles

We'd be sure to find

the berry, berry strawberry day

I'll be fine even if we have to

say goodbye one day

I still want to tell you just how I love you

I love you! I, I love you!

Transform! Una!

Well, was I cute in that episode?

Friends

Okay, the next episode

of Popotan is "Friends".

Now that I've introduced

the next episode...

...I've got the rest of this time

for myself!

It's time for Unagi's

"What's-What News Service".

Hey, this is where

I'm supposed to come on-screen!

But there's no time!

Good night, everyone!
