Ai, Ai, Ai, I love you!

Mai, Mai, Mai, my darling!

Mii, Mii, Mii, help me!

Popotan! Popotan! Popotan!

When you feel down

And you are at your wit's end

Ask the Popotan for advice

Yes, if you can be honest

And open up your heart

The Popotan will show the way

Will he come or not?

Does he love me or not?

Is this love true or false?

They have all the answers

I can't take it! Po po po!

I can't take it! Po po po!

I know, but I just can't stop!

It's impossible! Po Po Po!

It's impossible! Po Po Po!

Even if it's just a dream, never give up!

Popotan!

Souvenirs

Wh-What was that?!

Hot Springs

Is that true?!

Yes.

But I didn't see it very clearly.

Right.

Then we just have to look around here.

Thank goodness.

When we ended up at this hot springs

resort I didn't know what it meant.

Spring Bloom Hot Springs

Against Amusement Park

Development!

So, what did it feel like?

What was it like?

Well, like I said, I didn't see it very clearly.

But...

...this one will show us the way.

As long as we do what she says.

Huh?

Amusement Park

Well, I'll see you all later.

Oh, no, Mea.

Yes?

You must come along as well.

That's what she's saying.

But the job of a housekeeper

is to watch the house.

She says she won't tell us

unless we do as she says.

Is that right?

I understand.

Damn.

I was hoping to take a nap.

Why would a popotan want to go

on a walk through town?

Why not?

There's no harm.

Well, I know that, but...

It's just that the Spring Festival has started.

There are popotan decorations

all over the place.

Maybe it would be better if we

just asked other popotan as well.

I already asked, but they don't know.

Oh, you already asked?

Yes, all the flowers.

All? You serious?

Yes.

Jelly Cakes

Come and get them!

Spring bloom jelly cakes!

They're very good!

Yeah!

There you go.

Spring Bloom

Coffee

Come on, Mii.

Spring bloom coffee-flavored sweets...

Spring Bloom Coffee

...and spring bloom jelly.

Would you like to try?

It's an excellent source of nutrition.

Excuse me but coffee and

jelly are junk foods...

...and have no nutritional value.

What're you doing, Mea?

...and have no nutritional value.

So, how about entering

the Miss Spring Bloom Pageant?

Me?

You too, Ai?

What about you?

The Miss Spring Bloom Pageant?

Me?

No, no, no!

I really don't want to.

Why not?

I mean, she's suggesting it, too.

You keep saying "she".

Miss Spring Bloom Pageant

Boys and gentlemen, uncles and grandpas!

Let's hear it for the

Miss Spring Bloom Pageant!

And now, let's bring on

the next contestants.

Entry number 10 is Ai!

And entry number 11 is Mai!

They're sisters!

And next we've got entry number 12...

...the maid, Mea!

And next!

We've got entry number 13! Mii!

Picohan Magical! Parallel Magical!

What's this creepy feeling

I get from these guys?

The winner is number 13, Mii!

Yay!

What the...?

Winner!

Miss

Spring

Bloom

I win! I win! I'm Miss Spring Bloom!

Miss Spring Bloom

Third Place

Damn. Third place.

Give me a break.

What was that? Talk about a rigged contest!

There are those with no puffy-puffy...

...and those with a puffy-puffy.

That's what made the difference.

I didn't hear anything about that!

W-What?

Miss Spring Bloom

Third Place

I don't want it!

Third place, my ass!

Since we're at a famous

hot springs resort...

...how about we go in for a dip?

What do you mean?

That's what she's saying.

It's so warm!

But why would a popotan want us

to go in the hot springs?

But why would a popotan want us

to go in the hot springs?

I mean, there's no one else here.

Well, that may be so, but...

Wow! What a huge bath!

Don't swim! Just settle down!

The spring waters contain

nitrogen and sodium.

It's good for rheumatism, nervous tension...

I didn't ask! And you can't tell by taste!

Oh, my. Is that so?

Ai, stop chatting away like that.

I see. I see.

Let's just get on with it.

I see. Is that so?

Shall we go to the next one?

Next?

That's what she's saying.

So.

Oh, I've never heard that before.

Please, Ai.

This spring water contains calcium and

sodium carbonate. It's good for...

I don't care!

Yoo-hoo!

Stop that.

Onto the next one.

Oh, is that so?

That must've been tough.

Oh, my. You speak so well.

Oh, after soaking all day,

I'm turning into a prune.

It's not safe to spend

too much time in a hot spring.

It's a bit late for that!

And who are you talking to?

Now, now.

Just get changed into this.

Why?

Well, this is a hot spring.

There's nothing like playing

ping pong in Yukata.

You promised, after all.

Is that what it's saying?

Yes.

Uh, right.

There!

There!

Gotcha!

My ultimate Popotan Smash!

The winner is Mai!

I lost.

All right.

There! You happy now?

Now, let's carry on.

Next, she wants Mai and Mea

to play against each other.

"Hey! Are you going to do it

or not?!", she asks.

I've had enough!

We're not doing this for fun!

Tell us now or I'll stick my hand

through your ears!

Or we'll throw you away

and find another popotan!

Got that! Is that what you want?!

Take it easy, Mai.

That's right.

I'm all ready.

Yay!

All right!

I guess I'll just have to do it!

My ultimate...

...Popotan Smash! Again!

All right!

Mai wins again!

Amazing!

That was quite a match!

I am the winner!

Popotan!

Hey, is it really this way?

Yes. Just a little further.

I'm the first one here!

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

H-Here?

This was once a pasture where

there were popotan.

But even she doesn't know

how it became like this.

It seems like land developers

got their hands on it.

It can't be.

Then we'll never know?

We've come searching all this way.

This is the right direction.

What?

She says that it's just past that peak.

Just past there, huh?

That's far.

But if that's so...

Let's go! Right away!

Let's go now!

Wait, Mii.

We're going to find it soon.

Women

Such wonderful water.

Nice, nice.

So, why are we in another hot spring?

She says that this is what

makes travel elegant.

Her again, huh?

Give me a break.

Aren't you going to come in?

I've had enough of it already,

so no thanks for me.

Come to think of it...

Spring Bloom Wakatake Hot Spring Effects:

Easement of women's menopausal

disorder and promotes hormones.

Increases breast size, tightens the butt,

decreases waist size, etc...

They say the waters of this hot spring...

...make women's breasts bigger.

Increases breast size,

Yeah, well, whatever.

Bigger breasts?

Is something the matter, Mea?

Nothing.

Um, I suppose.

It wouldn't be proper to come

all this way and refuse to go in...

...when the popotan is asking us.

It's about elegance.

It's important to go with the flow.

I am Japanese, after all.

Some things we just can't help.

I guess I'll just have to get in.

Shall we go on to the next?

Yeah!

W-Wait...

Wait a minute.

I haven't been in.

You've got to be quicker, Mai.

Oh, come on!

Come on! It's always like this!

Wait! Ai!

We're almost there, Mii.

We just have to get past this.

I'm getting tired.

You heard.

You have to hang on a bit longer.

But I can't walk anymore.

I can't walk anymore!

Well, I suppose we can

take a little break.

That's what she's saying.

Oh, that feels so good!

Are you sure it's just a little further

after we climb this?

Yes, according to what she said before.

I see.

I'm sure we'll find it.

That's what she says.

Her, again?

Yes. Her.

It looks like Ai and Mai

are having such a good time.

Let Mii join in the fun!

The wind has come up.

We should be on our way

before the weather turns.

Yes. I think so.

There's popotan everywhere!

There's nothing but popotan here.

Let's ask them.

Would you please tell us?

She's the one we've been looking for?

There's no mistake.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

I saw her! I saw her face!

Amazing! Amazing!

Um, Mai.

But she left, right?

She must've flown off to

another place, right?

Uh, yes.

But at least we know what

her face and hair look like...

...and how the rest of her looks!

That's a real help!

But...

If she's disappeared

we can go and find her again!

We'll keep tracking her

with the clues we get.

That's all we have to do.

Right, Ai?

Mai.

All right! Next time we'll find her!

Yeah!

Yeah!

What is it?! It looks like you're having fun!

No fair! Let Mii in on the fun!

Ai! Mai!

We're home.

Um, Ai? Why didn't Mai

come home with us?

Who knows?

Spring Bloom Wakatake Hot Spring Effects:

Easement of women's menopausal

disorder and promotes hormones.

Increases breast size, tightens the butt,

decreases waist size, etc...

I wonder if it's really going to help.

Mea!

When did you come in here unnoticed!?

I came here to accompany Miss Mai.

I understand.

What?

Nothing.

Spring Bloom Wakatake Hot Spring Effects:

Easement of women's menopausal

disorder and promotes hormones.

Increases breast size, tightens the butt,

decreases waist size, etc...

I wonder how long it'll be

until it takes effect.

I wonder.

Maybe we should stay in

until it takes effect.

Get bigger.

Stop it.

Stop it, Ai!

But since Mea isn't here

someone has to make dinner.

But you don't have to do it.

It looks like Mea is back!

Mai's with her, too!

Wow, that was long.

When we get back,

I'll get some ice water out.

Mai! Mai!

Hurry! You have to stop Ai!

I wonder what's going on with Mii.

She seems to be in a panic.

No way! Why?!

Wh-Where are they?!

Ai!

Mai! Mea!

Mai! Mea!

Why?

Why would this happen all of a sudden?!

Mai!

No way.

Why?

Ai.

Mii.

Ai! Mii!

Miss Ai! Miss Mii!

What is this?

What's going on here?!
