Yuko!

Help me, Yuko!

Yuko!

You're late, Yuko Atouda! You're scared of us, aren't you?

Yuko Atouda will never run or hide!

Well? Surprised, right?

Atouda...

You're so startled you can't even say anything!

No, it's not that. We can always see your underwear.

Now you can't see them, right?

Yuko!

Damn it... But we have a hostage.

Ikkou!

Ikkou!

How's that, Atouda?

I'll never forgive you guys!

Those are our words!

Well said.

Here I come!

Don't act spoiled, dear Amaenaide yo anata

Stay like this, on the other side of our dream Konomama yume no kanata

I won't say it to you just yet... Mada anata ni wa oshienai

Ah My Buddha!! I won't say it to you just yet... Mada anata ni wa oshienai

Ah My Buddha!!

Ah My Buddha!! Katsu!!!

Do buds that wait for the spring... Haru wo matsu tsubomi wa sugu ni

Loosen your hand... Kataku nigirishimeta

And feel the wind that carries the seasons along Kisetsu hakobu kaze wo kanjite yo

Don't act spoiled, dear Amaenaide yo anata

Stay like this, on the other side of our dream Konomama yume no kanata

Pull me close with those hands, Me ga sametara kiechaisou na

As though I'll disappear when you open your eyes Watashi wo sono te de hikiyosete

The feeling that blooms in my chest Kono mune ni saku omoi

The feeling I keep secret in my heart Kokoro ni himeta omoi

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I won't say it to you just yet... Mada anata ni wa oshienai

But I want to tell you Demo anata ni wa oshietai

I can't love anyone else but you Mou anata shika aisenai

Don't Egg Me!!

Man, I'm so sorry.

Don't just say sorry.

You young ladies sure are nice.

I'm thankful. I'm thankful.

Oh, are you leaving already?

That's unfortunate. You should stay a little longer.

Thanks.

You're popular with the older crowd, as usual.

Leave me alone! Man, I got thrown into such a quarrel.

That's why I made this get-well gift and came here.

You say you made it, but the stuff you've made is...

How is it? Isn't it good?

Ikkou! Hey, I took my time making it too.

Ikkou... Hey, I took my time making it too.

No, no, no!

Susumu, even if you say that, your mother is busy with work.

No, no, no, no, no!

What the?

He's upset. He always says selfish stuff like not wanting surgery.

Man, kids these days...

He doesn't have a dad.

Then he just has a mother?

Yeah. She's really busy with work and can't come visit that often.

Wow, that's tough.

Yeah...

Susumu...

No means no!

Stop being selfish, kid. No means no!

Yuko?

W-What? The priests are over there!

Hey, it's not like your mom's not coming because she doesn't like you.

To a kid, an adult's job is...

Shut up!

What are you doing? I worked hard making those!

Umm, ma'am... What are you doing? I worked hard making those!

So what?

No matter how hard you work on it, it's no use if it's no good!

I was watching. You're bad at cooking, right?

You don't like cooking, right?

I don't want shurgery! And if I don't, then I don't!

You have things you hate too, so don't act all high and mighty!

It's surgery, not shurgery.

I get it.

I'll make you something so good that it'll surprise you.

H-Hey! Yuko!

In exchange, if my cooking is actually good...

...you'll have the surgery.

Got it? This is a promise between you and me with our lives on the line.

I-If you can't, what'll you do?

If that happens, I'll listen to anything you say.

So when is the surgery?

Two days from now at 10 AM.

Reckless.

Totally hopeless.

Why?

Jeez, you always make promises without thinking past that.

You're so nice, Yu.

I-It's not like that!

But what are you going to do if it doesn't turn out well?

The way that kid is, he really might not have the surgery done.

Leave it to me. I'll definitely make something awesome.

Yuko...

I heard the story.

You all know shoujin vegetarian cuisine, right?

Of course!

Then what's the meaning of shoujin?

U-Um...

To move on intently with sincerity.

Yeah, that!

You so didn't know!

To move on intently with sincerity.

To make one dish is also fine training.

Work on it with all your heart. Don't stay up too late.

Yeah, yeah. Right!

Also, one more thing.

If you put vinegar in small fish, you can eat it all the way to the bone.

I always put it in!

It's a grandmother's wisdom.

The reason disputes are thrown Yuko's way...

...is because she hasn't made the power her own yet.

The carnage bodhisattva's power that sleeps inside her...

The power of Asura inside Yuko stirs up her opponent's fighting power...

...and they bring themselves into a dispute.

If this goes on, eventually...

It's religious purification, Yuko.

It looks good on you, Yuko.

So cute!

The apron is cute.

Hey, why me too?

What do we make? Hey, why me too?

Why not classic meat and potatoes?

Huh, will that be okay?

You're totally ignoring me! Huh, will that be okay?

Hello!

Kazuki?

Why are you here?

I want to learn how to cook too. Sumi, would you please teach me?

N-No problem, but...

Yay! Thank you!

But, Kazuki, how'd you know again...

Wouldn't you want a wife that can cook really well, Ikkou?

A-Anyway, let's start, okay?

F-First off, let's slice the potatoes.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

Um, what am I supposed to...

Don't move!

Cooking is awesome!

Next, put the oil in the pan...

For taste, use sake and soy sauce...

W-Wait a second...

Lastly, add the green peas and let it cook a little more til done.

It was a formidable opponent.

Oh, crap!

I forgot to add the green peas.

I don't think that matters anymore.

I'm sorry, guys. Looks like I messed up at the end stage.

Ikkou, you're a guy, so show some bravery!

Me?

Sumi, you taught her, so you eat it! Hey! Wait a second!

Sumi, you taught her, so you eat it! Why do you need to be brave to eat?

Me? But... Why do you need to be brave to eat?

Me? But...

You're so rude.

Sumi, I made it exactly like you told me to.

There's no way it's disgusting!

That's true, but... There's no way it's disgusting!

Yuko!

I thought so...

Yuko, are you okay? Yuko, hang on! I thought so...

Yuko, are you okay? Yuko, hang on!

I'm so glad I didn't eat it.

Ikkou, want to try mine?

Sure, why not.

Well?

What's that mean?

It's okay.

It's as good as usual.

What's with that answer?

Ikkou!

Um, could you try mine too?

Whoa, it looks delicious!

So good!

Seriously?

Kazuki, you're good at cooking!

No, I'm not that good at it!

How foolish.

I practiced how to make meat and potatoes just for this day.

It's the "men have a weakness for delicious meat and potatoes" plan.

Come on, Ikkou, after that...

What?

What is this? It's the first time I've had something like this!

The firm texture of potatoes, the sweetness of onion...

...and the delicious flavor of meat blends into a harmony in the mouth.

In the yellow and brown world of the potatoes and the meat...

...the red and green of the carrots and peas creates a perfect contrast!

It's excellent!

This is the best meat and potatoes I have ever had!

What?

That's a lie! Mine's definitely better!

S-Seriously? That's a lie! Mine's definitely better!

Delicious!

It's delicious, delicious, delicious! Mother!

What is this?

W-Whose is this? Who's the one who made this?

Him.

What? What?

N-No way! N-No way!

There they are.

Hey, you guys!

What's the matter?

Don't give me that!

Since you weren't coming home, Lady Jyotoku told us to get you guys.

Sorry... Sorry...

You did all that?

Yeah...

That's amazing!

W-What happened?

It seems he's awakened.

Where's Ikkou?

Mother!

Huh?

I can see it! The landscapes of my hometown!

The blue sky and the white clouds I saw that day!

It's the taste of my mother's cooking.

It seems he's awakened too.

So how'd it go?

Can you do it?

It's 10 hours til the surgery.

Yuko, worst-case scenario, we could bring something Sumi made.

That'd be lying.

But if you don't bring anything, he'll have a fit.

That's true, but...

But lying isn't...

No!

No! I'll definitely cook it!

It has to be that way!

Yuko!

Yuko...

I didn't have a dad.

He was a priest, part of the Saitoushu religion just like us.

Lady Jyotoku told me that he passed away on the job though.

My mom was always working,

and she was never home.

But she always cooked my meals for me.

Good morning. I'll see you later. Love, Mom

It was amazing. It was totally a perfect circle.

My mom's sunny-side-up egg was perfectly round and so good!

I made one too the night before I left for Saieniji.

I wanted to at least make our last dinner together...

...but it was a mess.

Forget making it round, I couldn't even keep the yolk intact.

Even so, my mom ate it saying it was delicious...

Yuko...

She said...

...it was delicious...

Let's make a sunny-side-up egg.

We'll do an egg instead of meat and potatoes.

It's simple, but it'll be fine if there's love.

Love is the best.

Let's do it, Yu.

Come on, Yuko.

I guess I'll do it!

All right!

Yuko...

You took a while. What were you doing?

Alright! Let's do it! You took a while. What were you doing?

Alright! Let's do it! Sorry, sorry.

That's my...

Oh, just a change of pace. What you're most used to is the best.

Ikkou...

Okay, let's go! Sunny-side-up eggs!

Damnit! I can't do it!

It's impossible for me!

What are you saying? Is that the kind of girl you are?

The kitchen is a war zone! You're a soldier right now!

Are you okay with finishing as a loser?

Too slow! Pick up the pace!

Don't run away. Catch it with your whole body.

Isn't the direction changing a little?

Yeah...

There! There! There!

Your grip is weak! Tighten the sides! There! There! There!

I-l can't eat more than this...

What'll we do with this?

What? Something happen?

To think the "meat and potatoes" plan failed...

Plus, if they're close to him...

I'll never eat eggs again!

Ikkou!

Kazuki?

Still here?

What's wrong? Your face isn't a good color.

Oh, nothing really...

Are you okay? It's better if you rest at the infirmary...

K-Kazuki?

You're so kind.

Ikkou, you're here this late for Yuko's sake.

I-It's not like that...

Ikkou...

Kazuki?

Ikkou, hurry!

W-W-Wait! T-The eggs...

I can't wait! Hurry, hurry! W-W-Wait! T-The eggs...

Ouch!

Ikkou!

Ikkou!

Ikkou...

You useless...

You useless guy!

M-My right arm!

Most likely, Yuko is only going to be able to throw one more ball.

It can't be!

Yuko!

I'll do it! Get Ride!

Yuko, you know what'll happen to your right arm if you throw that ball...

There are...

There are people in this world waiting for my sunny-side-up eggs!

Yuko...

Here I go!

I did it!

You did it, Yuko!

All right!

I did it! All right!

I did it!

Huh?

It's good!

All right!

It's good, huh...

You worked really hard, Yu.

You did too, Sumi.

Not at all.

I just helped a little bit.

A beautiful sunny-side-up egg was made...

...because Yuko realized the most important thing.

Most important thing?

To make it with the other person in mind.

It's the same as our job right?

That's true.

We have to think about the spirit that's not able to rise.

To move on intently with sincerity, right?

Yeah. And if she gets that now, I guess it means Yuko grew up a little.

Huh? Where's Yuko and lkkou?

Atouda! We'll end this today!

I-I'm getting dizzy! Atouda! We'll end this today!

That's my line!

You'd better be ready!

Hey, what gives?

From below...

Yeah, you can't see it when she's below...

Cut it out!

I'll never forgive you guys!

Hey, hold up!

Hold up already!

Hold it!

Guided by those engraved words Kizamareta moji ni michibikare

Good kids, bad kids!

It's big sister Haruka! Meow, meow!

Sister, sister!

What's wrong, Ikkou the stuffed animal?

Is it true we'll have baby play next time?

Oh, silly thing... You never think decent things.

Because I'm a pervert.

You won't be saved. Let's leave lkkou aside.
