"Princess Jellyfish" Ohayou, kyou mo yoroshiku onegai itashimasu

"Princess Jellyfish"

Mom, it's been three months since I came to Tokyo.

I couldn't manage to become a princess,

but I had a fun life here with the Sisterhood.

"Nun" but I had a fun life here with the Sisterhood.

But I had a fun life here with the Sisterhood.

And then, he suddenly appeared before me...

A very strong, very beautiful, male princess.

Tsukimi, are you awake?

"Sukiyaki Western Matsusaka"

Tsukimi? Is something wrong?

O-Oh, hello! Sorry, I'm just in the middle of something right now...

C-Can I help you?

I wanted to know if the jellyfish would be all right left in the bath.

Who's that?

Hey...

What's the matter, Tsukimi?

I-I'm fine!

I-I'll be down soon!

All right, then, I'll see you downstairs.

My hand... my hand touched a Stylish's mouth!

And now it's sticky!

There's weird sticky stuff on me!

What is it?!

Lip gloss?

A-A-A-Anyway, please put on your clothes and your wig!

I-I'm begging you...

You dropped the wig in the hall, though.

There it is!

Sheesh, there's nobody here.

The bathroom's that way, right? I'll go wash my face and...

N-N-N-No!

Tsukimi!

Emergency! Emergency!

Whatcha doing?

The dust was starting to show, so I'm cleaning everything up!

Well, come quickly! We have a desperate situation on our hands!

An applicant?

Yes, from some self-proclaimed gay men.

Gay?

Agents who die in the field receive no burial!

Do they think girls like us

will just squeal for joy at the thought of a gay couple?

The fools!

Gay, transvestite, or baby... a man is a man!

No boys may ever enter our holy Nunnery!

Not even Kong Ming himself!

I know. I'll send a firm rejection that leaves no room for appeal.

And... send!

Who's that?

I thought Banba and Jiji had both gone to the front lines!

I-I imagine it's just a cat.

A cat? But we don't have one!

Could it be Ms. Mejiro?!

She's completely nocturnal.

She'd never set foot in a sunny hallway.

She even bought first-rate light-blocking curtains for the windows.

Ah, but her deadline is coming up, so maybe...

Ms. Mejiro would never run water so loudly.

Bandits?!

We'd better take a look.

Oh, please, I'll do it!

This is a job for the building manager.

Good point...

Why, there's no one here.

Were we hearing things?

Didn't that come from Tsukimi's room?

I-I'll go look!

Oh, you're back.

I-I can't look directly at him!

Bandits after all?

N-No, it's no one...

I-I got it for you.

This place is cool. Communal baths, communal washrooms,

and the layout and decorating are totally retro!

It's like chaos. I kinda like it.

Can I come hang out here again?

No.

Okay, see you later!

I told you, please don't come back!

Mom, I think this might be the first time since grade school...

Yeah. I'm sorry. I spent all my money on a fish tank...

It's the first time since grade school I've talked to a man besides my father.

- You take care too, Dad. Bye. - Even if he is a transvestite.

So, how much did this equipment set you back?

Well, all together, about 20,000.

With 20,000, I could get the DVD box set of Takeo's Dengeki!! Strada 5...

I could get that red agate sash fastener I saw yesterday...

"20,000 km Challenge"...

A whole sixty-volume set of Records of the Three Kingdoms, used...

A bold move, Tsukimi! You're as rash as Zhang Fei!

So this month is pretty much shot for me.

Say, who was that female Stylish from last night?

Sh-She was just a passerby. A complete and total stranger!

But last night she was in the bathroom watching this jellyfish...

Really, Tsukimi?

A-Actually, she was the one who saved Clara from death

by forcibly seizing her from the tropical fish shop!

She may be one of the Stylish, but she was quite a skilled fighter!

Oh ho, well done!

In Three Kingdoms terms, I'd say she's Zhou Yu of Wu.

- Or maybe Zhao Yun of Shu...

- If we don't stop her fast, she'll make Three Kingdoms analogies all night. - Or maybe Zhao Yun of Shu...

- If we don't stop her fast, she'll make Three Kingdoms analogies all night. - No, no, that's probably going too far!

Yeah...

Well, today's our hot-pot party day, isn't it?

It's about time to go shopping.

At Amamizu-kan, it's our tradition

to have a big hot-pot party once a week.

We all decide together what we'll eat, pool our money,

and make the meal together.

"Sukiyaki Sauce" and make the meal together.

"Sukiyaki Sauce" I love these times.

What a crime that I never knew they sold such things!

"Three Kingdoms Chips" What a crime that I never knew they sold such things!

What a crime that I never knew they sold such things!

It's a "classic cover reprint" of Big-1 gum!

Here I come!

It's Kong Ming!

"Moe Moe Three Kingdoms Gum" It's Kong Ming!

"Moe Moe Three Kingdoms Gum"

"Moe Moe Three Kingdoms Gum" Die a thousand deaths!

Die a thousand deaths!

Mayaya, Banba, it's almost time!

Red as the flags of Sun Quan's army!

Roped with white like the canals of Guangzhou!

"Sukiyaki" "Matsusaka Beef" Roped with white like the canals of Guangzhou!

"Sukiyaki" "Matsusaka Beef" Yes! This is true Matsusaka beef!

Yes! This is true Matsusaka beef!

Meat...

It looks delicious...

I hope I get to try some one day.

We can't afford it, so looking at it will only hurt you.

Come on, she's here!

The bearer of half-price stickers who appears at 6:00 each day!

Banba, use the Banba Scope.

Gotcha.

Clara here. Allow me to explain.

Banba is able to instinctively sense which meat is tastiest.

That one... and that one.

Understood. Here we go, Tsukimi!

Coming!

"Half Price"

Two hundred grams per person secured!

Two-thirds of today's meat is pork...

Look, you. If the cow isn't tasty, always go with the pig.

So this place is a vacant lot now too.

There are more and more lately, aren't there?

That's a new model.

Can I use this?

Can I come here again?

"Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to bring a man into Amamizu-kan...

"Dear Ms. Mejiro, Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to bring a man into Amamizu-kan, "Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to bring a man into Amamizu-kan...

what should her punishment be? Please give me your opinion." "Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to bring a man into Amamizu-kan...

"Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to bring a man into Amamizu-kan...

I humbly request your decree!

...what should her punishment be?

Please give me your opinion."

"DEATH"

Yes, of course...

Tsukimi, supper is ready!

Hiya! Is the little jellyfish still alive?

Mom, your daughter doesn't want to die yet!

It's commercial time!

Clara!

It's the second half!

Tequila!

It smells wonderful! Hurry up, let's put in the other ingredients!

Come on, come on!

A word, Tsukimi?

This is the bright spot of the Sisterhood's whole week:

"It's 8:00! Hot-Pot Party!

(Or Grilled Meat or Nagashi Somen or Whatever in the Summer)"!

What is that Stylish stranger doing here?!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I don't really understand why, but she came to hang out.

I can't just toss her out, since she saved Clara's life...

But you didn't have to give her a place at our feast!

Everyone's turned to stone. They can't even hold their chopsticks!

Clara again!

Petrification is the Sisterhood's most powerful self-defensive tool

here in the desert of Tokyo,

the concrete jungle crawling with their natural enemies.

First, they're automatically petrified

"First" First, they're automatically petrified

Second, if the enemy initiates contact,

Second, if the enemy initiates contact,

they act as if they don't notice.

This is not "ignoring": They actually enter a state of non-noticing.

And third, in the worst case scenario of an enemy attack,

And after reactivation, they fill in the blanks with whatever they like!

I'll try negotiating. Maybe she'd be willing to go home.

Please do! Sitting around a hot-pot with a female Stylish

is turning our meat into our own poison!

"Female Stylish"...

But she's not female!

Pork is actually pretty good, huh?

Um... er, you see...

Hmm, what was your name again?

Kurashita.

And your first name?

Tsukimi.

Huh, nice name.

Okay, Tsukimi, honey, let me serve you up some of this.

S-So friendly...

Let's see, is there anything you don't like?

Can you eat garland chrysanthemums?

E-Er, I'll eat most things.

Oh, wow! Sweet herbs sure don't make this boy want to samba.

"Boy"?

♪ Olé! ♪

- ♪ Olé, olé! Ba-da-da! Matsuken Samba! ♪

- Ah, that song brings back memories! - ♪ Olé, olé! Ba-da-da! Matsuken Samba! ♪

And the Three Kingdoms puppet theater came on after that!

And then Walk the Rails of Yesteryear.

Really?

That reminds me, didn't you ride a Metro streetcar recently, Banba?

I was on my way to the butler café

when I saw your hair spilling out of the window...

Whenever I see those retro train cars on the Arakawa Line,

I can't help but get on. It's my pathetic reflex.

So, who did you go to the butler café with?

I went alone, would you believe it?

Retro train cars? Butler cafés? Wait, is everyone who lives here an otaku?

...an otaku? Taku? Taku?

P-Please, I beg you, go home!

But I came as a girl.

As long as nobody finds out, there's no problem, right?

Then please don't say "boy"!

Boy, did I really say that?

You just did it again.

Why did you come back, anyway?

Didn't I tell you I would?

But why did you want to?

What a silly question. Because I wanted to see you, Tsukimi!

Because I wanted to see you, Tsukimi!

"Because I wanted to see you."

Talk about delayed reaction...

She's losing it.

Isn't this fun?

Didn't you settle this with her, Tsukimi?

Mayaya, honey, why don't you try some meat, too?

"Mayaya... honey"?!

Oh, did I get that wrong?

What gibberish is this Stylish one spouting?

No one would ever call me "honey" in the first place! Never!

I could've sworn I heard Tsukimi here call you that yesterday...

What about you, Jiji, honey?

Are you full already?

You do seem like a pretty light eater.

I don't really care whether I'm a light eater or not...

- How utterly rude! In a perfect world, she would pay for this! ...or more like, it's got nothing to do with this...

- How utterly rude! In a perfect world, she would pay for this! ...or more like, I don't want her fussing about stuff like that...

- How utterly rude! In a perfect world, she would pay for this! - A lowly Stylish... A lowly Stylish, calling me "honey"!

- Weird... - A lowly Stylish... A lowly Stylish, calling me "honey"!

- Okay, then, I'll set it here. It won't taste good overcooked. - A lowly Stylish... A lowly Stylish, calling me "honey"!

I'm putting in the next batch!

Hold it.

Don't put shirataki noodles next to the meat.

They'll harden it!

Banba!

Me, too.

You too, Jiji?!

Wait!

- Okay, retreat! - Mayaya?!

Huh? Why'd they leave?

I'm sorry, but you could say that we can't match your enthusiasm...

If I may put it bluntly,

no one here particularly wants to be your friend.

I say this as daughter of the building manager:

Please don't come back here again.

Um...

Sorry I wrecked things.

I just started having fun... maybe I got carried away.

No... um...

It's like shirataki and meat, I guess...

Huh?

When you're near us, we stiffen up, I guess...

It's chemistry, maybe?

What are you talking about?

Nothing...

See, everybody in my family is busy, so all of us boys eat separately.

So I'd never really done stuff like eat hot-pot meals in a group like that.

I wanna sizzle! I wanna sizzle!

You really like that, don't you Tsukimi?

It's been a long time for me, too, so I have fun.

Hmm? But you do that all the time, don't you?

Yes, but that's not what I meant...

When I was little, my mom and dad and I ate lots of hot-pot meals, but...

Where are you from?

K-Kagoshima.

Whoa, in Kyushu?! Then you're a Southern girl!

Yes. But it's cold there in the winter, too,

so we did lots of hot-pot stuff... but...

Oh, I get it. Once you move to Tokyo, you can't visit too often, huh?

What? Oh, no, that's not it... It's not an issue of Kagoshima being far.

When I was little, my mother...

Crap! There's a light on in my old man's room!

I can't believe he's home at this hour...

Don't tell me... this is your house?!

Kuranosuke!

There you go dressing like that again.

Dad's here today, you know.

"An adult man wearing a suit!" Dad's here today, you know.

"An adult man wearing a suit!" Oh wonderful big brother, I've got a favor to ask!

"An adult man wearing a suit!" Can you bring me that Matsusaka beef from yesterday?

Can you bring me that Matsusaka beef from yesterday?

It's still in the fridge, right?

Excuse me? Why should I go get it?

Oh, I see. If you don't want to,

maybe I'll just visit Dad's office dressed like this.

Hide behind the shrubbery!

To think that the red of Sun Quan's army now belongs to me!

The Banba scope is reacting like crazy.

That proves it's real Matsusaka beef.

Er, does the Sisterhood not have any pride?

All right, I'm cooking it up! Everybody eat all you want!

Okay!

This is the most delicious food in all the kingdoms!

We'll have to give some to Ms. Mejiro, too.

Um, what about my meat?

Clara, he said, "Because I wanted to see you, Tsukimi."

In response, the government held emergency meetings

Mom...

Tsukimi, you're spilling! You're spilling!

"Koibuchi"

"Koibuchi" See you later, big brother!

See you later, big brother!

You go to school for a change.

That meat might've been a bribe!
