Hai!

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!

Oh, to Share an Umbrella!

How wonderful...

Jeepers, you really are a weirdo!

Why's that? Is there a problem with looking outside?

Getting excited over umbrellas? Really?

It's not like the umbrellas themselves are exciting.

Then what the heck's the big deal?

Come now, just go on and take another look!

You know, over there.

- Huh? - You get it?

Ooh, I get it now!

I'll go take care of it!

Wh-Where are you going?

Excuse me!

Need another umbrella, huh?

Don't worry about it, just take it!

Kichinosuke!!!

I'm-I'm really sorry about this...

Get moving, Kichinosuke!

I hope you realize now that was completely unnecessary!

C'mon, I was just trying to be nice!

What was so "nice" about it?!

I felt bad they had to share an umbrella!

The couple was doing that on purpose!

Huh? Why the heck would they?!

Y-You really don't get it, huh...

- So here's the thing... - Spit it out already!

...Oh, just never mind.

Huh.

Lemme guess, you wanna do that too?

Oh?

Well...

You know, perhaps I could be convinced...

If only this rain could just keep on falling forever, Zero...

And if only this path could just stretch off into eternity.

Ah, watch out.

There's a puddle here, Jun.

Nope! Not gonna happen!

No way, no how...

Kichinosuke! There's nothing funny about this!

You're so loud!!!

How's a girl supposed to get any sleep?

Ah... sorry about that.

I forgot you had settled in for a nap, Yukinojo.

Pico! How rude!

Hey Yukinojo, time to tell a fortune!

Okay!

A fortune for what, Kichinosuke?

Whether or not you and Zero are ever gonna share an umbrella!

D-Don't even bother! This really isn't necessary...

We'll know for sure right away!

Ooh, and that's a Kichi-NO-suke!

Not going to happen, pico!

Hmmph! There wasn't even a slight chance, anyway.

First of all, Zero's always riding that bike of his.

When would he ever bother sharing an umbrella with anyone?

Ah, I see! So that's how it is.

I got it!

It's really coming down today...

My laundry will never get dry at this rate!

Let's hope it --

The heck's so cool about sharing an umbrella, anyway?

I'm not having fun.

All I'm getting is a cold hand.

Where are we going, anyway?

That's just my lil' secret!

Okay...

Not here...

Where is it...

Ah... there it is! Zero's bike!

What's your plan, pico?

No bike for Zero equals him sharing an umbrella with Jun!

Jun's going to be so happy, pico!

Sometimes a creation has to step up and help his creator!

Kichinosuke!!!

I thought something was fishy so I tailed you, but this is what you're up to?!

But it's all for your sake, Jun!

You're gonna share an umbrella!

Did you honestly think that sabotage would make me happy?

Yep, gotta say I did!

Well, let's get back to work...

Oh for pete's sake...

- Powering down. - Big brother!!!

Good morning!

Huh?

What's going on, everybody?

Jun, hurry up and look!

Ah!!!

Z-Zero's arm...

Must've gotten wrapped up in a brawl again...

It can't be!!!

Zero!!!

Your arm's been injured...

Aw heck, this ain't no big deal.

Just had me a little bike accident is all.

Bike accident...?!

It's Kichinosuke's fault!!!

You don't need to worry yourself about this at all.

My father's an exemplary surgeon, so this will heal up right away!

But still...

At any rate, until he's healed up, I'm going to be acting as his right hand!

You know, taking his notes...

Oh, and feeding him his lunch, too!

Right, Zero?

Well, bye!

Zero, wait for me!

I didn't... I didn't! I didn't do a darn thing!

You gotta believe me!

A bike accident for him wouldn't just come out of nowhere!!!

You know that he's an expert at handling bikes!

C'mon, I barely even touched his tire!

That's it!

That must be the reason why...

You got it all wrong! I was only about to loosen his tire!

Kichinosuke...

If he had hit something vital as he fell...

Zero most likely would have ended up dead...!

But he didn't end up dead, though!

Nope! Not dead.

Well for now, let's just head to Zero's to apologize, all right?

Oh heck no!!!

Kichinosuke!

When did you become such a stubborn, pig-headed robot?

Since you made me this way! I'm a robot, right?

A real hero of justice, pico!

Oh, just never mind.

I'll go apologize all by myself.

C'mon, big brother, stop crying!!!

I should be the one bawling my eyes out here!

Got nothin' to do with it.

Just pushed my luck with the speed is all.

But Zero, I just can't believe you'd fall off a bike on your own...

Zero, please... Just me tell the truth about what happened.

Don't know when to give up, do ya.

I ain't such a space case that goofy robot hijinx are gonna do me in.

But still...

- Give it up and go home. - Oh my goodness, Zero!

And here Jun is, going out of her way to come check up on you!

And look, she brought such pretty flowers, too...

Thank you very much, Jun.

You wanna win me over, bring some grub instead.

I should have remembered...

I'll be going now.

I'm really sorry about this, you did go out of your way...

It's fine, really. Please, you take care now.

Zero! Jun is worried sick about you!

Maybe it's time you tell her the truth?

Look Grams, just shut up about it, okay?

It must be... Zero is worried I'll get crushed by the truth....

So he's sticking with that flimsy lie.

Oh, it's you. And just why are you here?

W-Well...

I thought I made it clear to you that I would be acting as his right hand?

Yeah...

Well, then quit it with the buzzing around, all right?

He's injured and you'll get him all worked up!

Ah, Jun!

Come help with the shop, please!

It's a real madhouse right now...

Just get Kichinosuke and Yukinojo to help you!

But they're nowhere to be found!

Now hurry up and get changed!

Are you kidding me? He's not feeling any remorse in the slightest!

I mean, really...

Do robots even have a rebellious phase?

Huh?!

"For the sake of justice, we're running away... Kichinosuke and Yukinojo"

Oh for pete's sake!

Jun! You have a phone call from Toko.

Ah, I'll go pick it up now.

Wait, the two of them ran off to your house?

Why would I ever come pick those morons up?!

If they bother you, toss them out with the non-burnable garbage!

G-Garbage...?

C'mon, Jun!!!

I've got enough siblings as it is with those three chuckleheads...

Yo, robot!

You messed up the whole entire assignment!

I can't do division, though...

Why didn't ya just say that from the start, ya dope?!

Geh.

D-Don't pick on my big brother!!!

You gotta problem, the door's right over there.

You wanna stay, you're our slaves. Them's the breaks!

I've got nowhere to go, so slave it is.

Big brother...

Stay strong, Yukinojo...

Awright, gimme a shoulder rub!

Yo, I want in on this too.

Right away, sirs! Let's go, Yukinojo...

...Okay.

C'mon, put some effort into it!

Yo Kichinosuke, gonna need a shoulder rub too.

We can't do all three of you at once!

Hmmph. Kinda lousy robots, aintcha.

...Here goes.

Hey, get your butt over here already!

- Over here! - Yes, yes...

Over here!

Big brother...

Knock it off! Robots ain't s'posed to cry!

- You got it... - Over here!

- You got it... - Nah, over here!

You got it!

I've been playing dumb since I thought the teasing would drive them back home.

Kichinosuke is a stubborn one, that's for sure...

You're not kidding... He said he's never gonna apologize!

Then could you please remind him he's not coming home until then.

Never figured I'd ever see a battle of wills against a robot...

- Ah! - Ah!

Just look at that! She's really devoted to that "right hand" junk.

Doesn't that tick you off, Jun?

Still, the only reason Zero ended up like that was because of me.

But Zero insisted that wasn't the case, didn't he?

He's just trying to protect me from the truth.

Well, if you say so...

Kichinosuke has been hanging tough through whatever my brothers throw at him...

I really am starting to believe he's telling the truth.

But the fact remains, Zero had that bike accident!

Yeah, I guess you've got a point...

Okay Zero, I'll feed you your lunch! Open wide!

Buzz off, will ya? I ain't some kid.

But isn't it difficult trying to eat with your left hand?

Ah! Just wait there.

Zero...

Huh?

Would you care for a sandwich?

Oh heck yeah! Thanks!

Sure wish Yoko woulda thought to bring stuff like this.

So, about your accident...

Geez, back to that, huh.

I really want to know the details!

Look, I told ya I wiped out when I went ridin' after the rain!

- Is that the whole story, though? - Damn, you're a pain...

Zero, I grabbed you a spoon from the cafeteria!

Didn't I tell ya I ain't some kid? I ain't usin' a spoon on a bento!

I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds.

You really want to take care of Zero that badly?

I had something to ask him is all.

Give it a rest with the accident talk, will ya.

Absolutely no one wants to discuss that sore subject!

But...

Let's see some cleanin', robot!

- Get movin', get movin'! - Let's see some hustle!

Okay, let's get that window to sparkle!

Yukinojo, wipe down the desks!

Yo, Kichinosuke!

You're gonna shine that glass so much it's gonna be like it ain't even there!

So, like it's not even there, huh?

That's right! So clean any random dumb jerk would walk right into it.

Heh, your wish is my command!

Comin' right up!!!

- Whattya doin'? - You idiot!!!

Wh-Who said anything about breakin' it?!

Look, like it's not even there!

...Oops, we broke.

Really?!

I'm so sorry, Toko, I'll reimburse you for the window!

Aw heck, it's all good.

More importantly, did you check out Zero's bike yet?

No, I didn't...

You're not gonna know the truth until you investigate, right?

Oh, you're right! It completely slipped my mind!

Heh, I'm bound to have a good idea sooner or later!

Toko...

This entire bike is gleaming...

Doesn't look like anything's out of the ordinary.

He must have fixed it right away.

This bike is Zero's most prized possession, after all!

Really? All shiny and new so soon after an accident?

Yo!

So, you two mind tellin' me why you're sniffin' around over there?

Z-Zero...

Knock it off with the snoopin', would ya?

So uh... you fixed your bike fast, huh?

Who the hell gives a crap?!

Kichinosuke and Yukinojo's credibility are on the line here!

Since when do robots got credibility?

C'mon, get lost already!

...Let's go.

Really? Zero's grandmother?

Yep!

Said she had somethin' to tell you. Been waitin' quite a bit!

Really...

Welcome!

Ah, good day to you!

I must say, your father's cooking is as delicious as always.

Thank you very much!

So, you had something to tell me?

Yes, it's about the nature of Zero's accident.

- Wake up! - Geh...

You lack discipline!

Reflect on your deeds at once, Kichinosuke.

- Wake up! - Goh...

Your mind is wild again, Kichinosuke...

Right, right, you're right...

So, you were really hoping to hear the truth, correct?

Yes...

Well, here it is...

Zero wasn't injured in a bike accident.

What?!

It turned out the elevator in our building was malfunctioning that day!

Please, thank you...

Yoko's father will be coming here right away.

J-Just tell 'em I fell off my bike.

But Zero!

I ain't some damn kid, I can't let people know I slipped on stairs!

I see...

So that's what happened.

Keep our little chat a secret from Zero, all right?

Of course!

Well now, my esteemed elder, anything else you'd care to order?

Well, this little chat really did clear the air...

I think this calls for some gratin!

Of course... I'll put my heart and soul into it!

Do I gotta keep doing this...?

That's right... keep it up!

You robots are lacking in discipline.

Kichinosuke?

Huh?

Kichinosuke, Jun's coming to pick you up!

Wha?!

Oh, thank goodness!

I won't go back 'til she apologizes!

Well, that's just what she's coming here to do.

Yahoo! Goin' home!

Hometime! Hometime!

Time to go home!!!

Guess that's enough just desserts... Considering what you put them through!

Yay! Going home! Going home!

Jun!

Oh Yukinojo, I'm so sorry...

I sure put you through a lot!

Jun.

Kichinosuke!

You gonna apologize to me, too?

I really am quite sorry, Kichinosuke!

Oh yeah? And why's that, exactly?

It's because I found out that you had nothing to do with Zero's injury, of course!

And how'd you find that out?

Can't we just call it even?

Nope, not until you tell me!

Okay, but you can't tell a soul!

Whoa! You know me, not only are my lips sealed, but my whole body is, too!

So, here's the scoop...

Ah, it sure is nice to be home!

You can say that again!

Huh? What the heck is this?

Huh?

A picture of an umbrella?

"Umbrella Built-For-Two", huh?

Ah, don't look! I told you not to go snooping!

So, an umbrella for sharing, huh?

Oh, I've given up on that.

Even just saying I wanted to share one with Zero means it'll simply never happen.

Jun, build those plans!

- Why bother... - You've got nothing to lose!

Kichinosuke!

Please, enough with your cockamamie plans!

Nope, no cockamamie plans here!

Huh?

Share an umbrella with Jun?

Yep!

Suits you, wouldn't you say?

So cute, pico!

Sheesh...

Sorry, chick stuff like that ain't my bag.

Stairs sure are dangerous, huh?

Th-The hell? How'd you find out?

So, we come to an understanding?

Okay, what the hell!

Ya think some chintzy-ass robot can get away with threatenin' a human?

No threats! Honest!

We're begging, really.

Dammit...

Good grief...

The end to one heck of a day, huh?

Looks like it's gonna rain tomorrow.

Is that true, dearest father?

There's no mistaking it!

Once his nerve pain starts acting up, you know it'll be rain for sure!

Yahoo, that's great! All right, gotta hurry!

I wonder why the rain is getting him all fired up?

See you tonight!

Ah, Z-Zero!

Yo.

Go on...

C'mon, do it already!

M-Mind if we share?

Really? You're fine with my umbrella?

Y-Yeah!

You gotta get it ready, though.

Of course! I was up all night making this one.

All's well that end's well, pico!

Still, got no idea why the heck it's so neat...

Only until we get within sight of school, got it?

Okay!

Sharing an umbrella with you like this... it's like a dream come true!

Yep, sure wish this was a dream, myself...

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!

Oh, the pain and horror!

A love letter was delivered for Kichinosuke!

I've never even received one myself!

And the sender?

Turns out she's a cute little elementary student.

But wouldn't you know it, she's confused Zero and Kichinosuke!

What the heck do we do now?

Hai! Step Jun!
