Step Jun, Step Jun, Step Jun

Come on, come on, come on

Hai! Step Jun

I sensed you on a secret frequency

and was captivated by your radiance

And seeing you with my million-bit vision

The circuits of my heart

Ah, they're going wild!

The forces of love move me as they will

So I've embraced the mystery

If it's for the sake of the one you love

Why, there's nothing you couldn't do!

Oh, the heartful, heartful mechanic

the slightest movements of a pure heart

The heartful, heartful mechanic

makes true your dream-colored heartbeats

Step Jun, Step Jun, Step Jun!

Your hot desire! Come on, come on, input!

This is it!

This is the only place I can walk beside Zero without people laughing!

Because nobody will see you here?

That's not it at all!

Look!

If I stand up here, and Zero walks beside me, we'd be the same height!

La lalala la, la lalala...

The Great Class Change Tragedy?

Jun...

Ah, perfect timing! We have an order for delivery!

Sure, I can do it, but where to?

The request was from Ohata Sensei!

Wait, to the school? But it's spring vacation!

It sounds like there's a meeting going on!

Ah yes, they're assigning us to classes!

I'll get changed first, then I'll go!

Perfect! Now I can set this up outside the meeting room!

This doesn't seem ethical.

Well, it's kind of not...

But I'm worried Zero and I will end up in different classes!

I'm not worried one bit.

You don't have a single worry in your empty head!

I know! I can deliver Zero a bento while I'm out as well!

Well, doin' delivery ain't my bag,

but how can I say no to my daughter's school?

Daddy!

Could you make two more as well?

Oh yeah? Who's it for?

Me and... uh, a friend!

Look who's stuck doing the heavy lifting again.

Oh, the cherry blossoms are beautiful...

They're always beautiful!!!

Oh, c'mon...

You're carrying enough bentos for 10 people!

Only you could ever be that strong!

Really, huh? Tell me more...

Boys have the power of muscles, but girls have the power of love!

So, Rei Kanou and Jun Nonomiya.

They're talking about me and Zero, together...

Who knows what mess will result if we stick these two problem children together.

We should consider this a bit more.

Zero and I are problem children?!

Yeah, obviously.

And so, because of this,

I firmly believe these two should be split into different classes immediately.

Zero and I... In different classes?

Cheer up! Things aren't so bad!

How can you tell me to cheer up at a time like this?!

Hey, who's making noise out there?

Nonomiya...!

Oh, uh, your bentos! Your bentos are here!

Mmm?

I imagine you heard our discussion just now, loud and clear.

N-No?

You mustn't lie!

K-Kichinosuke! Hahaha!

So, you're not leaving this there?

There's no point in recording anything, now...

Ah, I know it's spring, but...

In my heart, it's already autumn.

Ah yeah! It's summer in mine!

When is there NOT a summer festival going on in your head?!

What are you trying to say?

Ah! It's Zero!

Zero!!!

Yo!

I was just on my way to your place!

Special Lunch Delivery!

Whoa, thanks! Y'know, I was just startin' to feel hungry.

Aw, you're givin' me two? That sure is thoughtful of ya!

Oh, but...

See ya!

Z-Zero!!!

Why'd he do that?!

I wanted us to eat together, under the cherry blossoms...

And now... it's winter!!!

Shut your mouth!!!

Big Sis!

You can do it, you can do it, Big Sis!

You can do it, you can do it, Big Sis!

You can do it, you can do it, Big Sis...

Talk about slow!

We've barely moved for the past lil' while!

- We'd be better off just drifting... - Yeah, ain't that the truth!

Just zip it, you three! If you gotta problem, you can just row yourselves!

- Toko!!! - Huh?

Over here, Toko!

Oh, Jun! I'm on my way!

How'd you track me down, anyway?

I called your house first!

Some spring vacation, huh?

I'm stuck looking after those three nitwits!

- Hurry, you dumb robot! - We won't get anywhere at this rate!

Ain't you supposed to be 10,000 horsepower?

Yeah, right! More like 0.1 horsepower!

Hurry up and row, hurry up and row, you dumb robot!!!

Oops, the wind.

Wow, look at that pretty blue sky!

We don't know for sure they're separating you guys, right?

It's practically guaranteed...

Why don't you just go beg Ohata Sensei?

I think going to ask him would have the opposite effect.

Then just use reverse psychology!

Beg him to separate you guys!

Oh, that's a good idea!

You three humiliated me!

Now plunge into hell!

Stop!

Kichinosuke, really?

Jun, please make him stop...

You be a good boy this instant, Kichinosuke!

Powering down...

Wait, you want to be in a different class than him?

Did I hear you correctly? Are you two having a fight?

Uh, no, the thing is...

Well, this is strange...

Kanou just came here to ask the same thing!

H-He did?!

He wanted to be in a different class than me?

Yes, that's correct.

Oh... I see...

Well, it's not like it matters.

We don't factor in student opinions when assigning classes.

Your pleas are falling on deaf ears.

Does Zero hate me now?

He must... Why else would he go out of his way to ask?

Oh, Yoko!

You look down in the dumps... Did you lose your wallet or something?

Anyway, I'm about to play some tennis with Zero, did you want to come watch?

...Sorry, I have an errand to run.

Huh, really.

You know, I have a very good feeling I'll be in the same class as Zero soon!

Huh...?

Well, see you!

Yoko IS more of Zero's type, anyway...

WHAT?!

Y-You want to change schools? It's almost the new semester!

Still, it's what I want to do.

Did something happen at school?

Well, not really...

Be strong!

It can't be...

Does this have something to do with Zero?

Boy, she's sharp!

N-No, it doesn't!

Jun!

How can I go to the same school as him?

Knowing that he hates me just that much?

Be strong!!!

Can you say something else for a change?!

I'll give it a try...

Hey, how about a meal in return for playin' tennis with ya?

Of course!

I know just the place too, it's wonderful!

Way less trouble than Jun's restaurant...

Oh, Zero!

Where on earth were you?

What, this get-up isn't givin' it away?

Just never mind, you've kept Ohata Sensei waiting out in the hall!

Really? Teach's here?

Kanou!

Just what did you do to Nonomiya?

Huh? What're you talkin' about?

Oh please, that little girl? Zero would have nothing to do with her!

I'm not in the mood for lies!

Nonomiya's thinking of changing schools.

Changing schools...?

That's right!

This set her mother on edge, who ended up phoning me.

J-Just what's going on here?

Ah...

Making a machine that erases your sadness is impossible, even for me...

You have a visitor!

Huh? Who could it be at this hour?

The complete opposite of you!

Huh? What do you mean?

A really tall knockout!

...Huh?!

You jerk!

You can change schools all you like,

but don't even try to make it Zero's fault!

...His fault?

Thanks to you, Ohata Sensei dropped in,

and really gave Zero what for!

O-Ohata Sensei did?

That's right! And now Zero's furious!

Zero's so mad he's furious?!

This is absolutely the end!!!

Oh, love...

It's completely over for love...

Keep your chin up!

I'm here, at least!

You don't have to cheer me up.

All right, it's my time to shine!

You must be joking!

If you butt your head into this, things will only get worse!

Ouch.

Please, just don't go flying off the handle for once...

Well, that's boring.

Finally! She's asleep!

Guts! Guts! Full of guts, we go!

Kichinosuke charges forth! All for the sake of love!

Ah, here.

Huh?

What the heck? Who are they?

Hell yeah, we found Zero's bike.

- Smash it. - You got it.

Somebody's comin'!

Let's go!

Agh.

What the hell?! My bike!

Dammit, who the hell did this?

Huh?

Oh?!

Ah!

You're Jun's robot, ain't ya?

N-Nope! Not me!

Don't give me that!

You busted up my bike once already, didn't ya!

B-But not this time...

Bullshit!

Tell Jun to come fight her own battles! Now get your ass outta here!

R-Really! It wasn't me!

Get out before I smash you to pieces!!!

WHAT?!

How on earth could you do this to me?

Oh, Kichinosuke...

I'm sorry...

That's why I begged you not to do anything...

You idiot...

You complete idiot...!!!

Here.

This isn't a handkerchief!

You should just forget about Zero.

I can't, so that's why I'm changing schools, remember?

You can forget your homework just fine.

Are you really comparing Zero to homework right now?!

Oh, you two were worried about Jun? Thank you for coming all this way!

We heard she wanted to change schools!

Is she up in her room?

She's holed herself up in there with Kichinosuke...

Oh, you were worried about me? Thank you so much, you guys!

No big deal!

We've been best buds since elementary school, right?

That's right!

Remember, your sadness is our sadness!

I don't see you crying...

Kichinosuke!!!

Now, Jun, we've talked it over...

If changing schools is really what you want to do,

well, we're going to change with you.

You'd come too?

The more the merrier!

Things would get lonely without you around...

And hey, if we go to a public school,

the lower fees would really help out your folks!

Let's go find out what the procedure is going to be!

B-But...

Class will start before you know it if you just sit around!

Oh, would you look at that, it's spring --

It's been spring for a while, you moron!

Are you kidding me? THREE of you want to change schools?!

That's right, we want to go to public school.

That won't be necessary!

And why's that?

The reason you three want to move is Rei Kanou, correct?

How did you know?

I, Heihachiro Ohata, have the reasoning skills of a true educator!

Wow. So cool.

C-Come now, Kichinosuke! Be quiet!

Anyway...

You three can just remain here.

Yeah, but the thing is...

If the source of the problem, Rei Kanou, changes schools, that squares it away.

Y-You can't!

Zero didn't do anything wrong!

Really! Three frightened girls asking to change schools!

I'd consider that very wrong!

Well, none of us are frightened, really...

Yeah!

Sure, the guy's kinda-sorta a delinquent,

but not once has he ever harassed a girl!

Then someone needs to explain why you don't want to be in the same class as Zero!

BECAUSE I'M IN LOVE WITH HIM, ALL RIGHT?!

...IN LOVE WITH HIM, ALL RIGHT?

-J-- Jun! -J-- Jun!

...So uh, would you mind detailing why?

Such is a maiden's heart, Heihachiro, my dude!

Heihachiro...?!

Don't call a teacher by their first name!!!

Here's the place...

Got the tape.

Now then... this one, right?

And now happiness will rain down!

Zero!

Huh? Whattya want, Grams?

I just found this tape in our postbox!

A tape?

This is quite the lark! Come on, let's listen!

...why you don't want to be in the same class as Zero!

BECAUSE I'M IN LOVE WITH HIM, ALL RIGHT?!

WAGH!!!

Oh geez, my ears...

This was in the postbox?

Yes, somebody must have left it in there.

How did it get back here?!

Wait, this looks like one of my tapes!

Oh, it's just one of yours, is it?

Kichinosuke!!!

You just can't stop going above and beyond, can you?

Yes, but for the sake of love!

Let me guess, Zero's absolutely furious once again!

No, stop! Don't listen!

Then you DID do something, didn't you!!!

Well, uh, yeah, huh...

Oops, I broke.

Yo, Jun.

Oh! That's Zero!

So, uh, to start with...

You probably don't have to shout stuff so loud, you know?

I'm sorry...

Zero, enough with the introduction.

Let's get to the main point, all right?

Oh! That's his grandmother!

Okay, geez...

Ahem!

So anyway,

about the whole "asking to be put in a different class" thing...

Just before spring vacation,

that jerk Ohata confiscated something valuable,

a pure silver paper knife my Dad gave me.

I figured the school would be empty during break, so I snuck in to get it back.

O-Oh, so the room ain't empty, huh?

H-Huh, how about that!

Kanou!

It's spring vacation! What are you doing here?

You should know you can't be in the building now!

Uh, the thing is... Huh?

Rei Kanou Jun Nonomiya

Hmmm?

Ah, you're assigning classes, huh?

Don't play dumb!

We're discussing splitting the two of you up!

Oh, splitting us up, huh?

Kanou!

What business do you have sneaking into the teacher's room?

- This better be good... - Now just hold on, okay?

Looks like everything's settled! I'll be on my way!

Settled for you, maybe! I'm a different story!

W-Well, I was comin' here to ask you to split us up!

What's this?

Me and Nonomiya! Split us up!

And wow, how about that, huh? You think we should be split up, too!

So you see how this was essentially a last resort for Zero, correct?

As such, you should probably pay it no mind, Jun, my dear.

Thank you so much, ma'am!

It really wasn't what he wanted after all!

Yahoo!!! Yay yay yay!!!

And who do you have to thank?

But still, we might not be in the same class...

Who do you have to thank?!

Oh, I'm just so nervous!

Are you kidding me?!

Oh, heck yeah!

Congratulations, Jun!

Huh?

Looks like the four of us are in the same class!

Wait, four of us?!

We're talking about Zero, of course!

It's... it's true!

Oh, it's just like out of a dream!

Rei Kanou

Jun Nonomiya

Would ya just THANK me already?!

I'm sorry, Kichinosuke...

It's all thanks to you!

Exactly as I thought!

Yoko?!

I just somehow knew I'd end up in the same class as Zero...

What?!

She's with us?!

Yoko Mizuno

She's in our class...

You! Nonomiya!

So, I hope you know who to thank, now that you and Kanou are in the same class!

Yes! It was Kichinosuke! I mean...

It's all thanks to you, Ohata Sensei!

Nope, you're wrong!

No other sensei was willing to put up with either of you!

Oh...

Zero!

Zero!

Yo!

Why weren't you at school today?

What, for the opening ceremonies?

Well, yes, but...

Sorry, I ain't in school for ceremonies.

I'm devoted to my studies.

The lies never end...

It looks like the two of us are in the same class again!

Heh, that's good to hear.

Wow, you're happy about it, too?

Oh, heck yeah.

Your bentos are the best, after all...

C'mon, let me punch him...

Zero, would you do me a favor and join me for a walk?

So a walk's all you need, huh?

Yes!

You stand on the bottom, okay?

Finally, the same height!

Now it really is like we're two lovebirds walking side-by-side...

Sheesh, at least hold hands or something...

We're at the amusement park

On a date, eating ice cream

My crocodile tears are shining

in the illumination of the shuttle loop

But because of his warm kindness

I flash my practiced smile

But it's all a dream, isn't it?

Brought to you by MaruChanSubs!

I overheard something at the restaurant!

It sounds like Hanyu and his gang are planning on kidnapping me!

But that means Zero will come charging in to save me!

Talk about a dream come true!

I don't mind being bait if it means being rescued by him!

Now all I need to do is wait to be kidnapped.

Hai Step Jun!

"Come Steal Me Away!"

Come Steal Me Away!

The Heartful Mechanic!
