Whoa, talk about dusty!

This place should have a bunch of stuff.

Look!

Ugh, lame!

Oh, how cute!

This stuff isn't cute at all!

Are you sure? I think it's really cute.

N-Next box!

You can tell this belongs to an old family...

The boxes go all the way to the back in layers, like geologic strata!

Strata...

Which means!

Tsukimi! We'll shove aside the young strata in front of us

and aim for the ancient ones in the back!

Excavation successful! We have '70s retro dead stock!

Lame!

Morons!

This set is way cooler.

Oh, you think so, too?

I'm telling you, you're morons!

Trendy shops are selling this stuff for big money right now!

This lot should bring in about a hundred thousand.

A...

"Nun" A...

"Nun" A hundred thousand yen?!

"Million Dollar Babies" A hundred thousand yen?!

"Million Dollar Babies"

Shu. I hear that developer will be at next week's study group meeting.

I trust all our materials are ready?

I'm sorry, I'm still working...

You go on ahead, Shu.

I...

All right.

Something seems off about Shu.

He looks the same as ever to me.

You can buy those wheels you were talking about for the Benz.

A beautiful, seductive woman came over to deliver his glasses.

So he has a girlfriend?

It seems he's overcome that trauma and successfully had sex with...

Hey, watch your mouth! Remember where we are!

But that raises problems of a different sort...

Investigate this woman.

I'm sorry, Sir.

I'm an employee of the Koibuchi family,

but I'm also Shu's childhood friend.

I couldn't spy on him, even on your orders.

I'll buy you a new Benz.

Hey, Sugi, my man. I need a background check on someone.

Right, our spot. The Mister Donut in Takadanobaba.

Sugimoto, an old classmate from my abacus school,

is a private investigator now.

Abacus school, eh?

Oh, hey, what's this thing you brought?

It's a Clara-themed good weather charm that I made.

You made it yourself? Wow.

Well, we might be able to sell it to a kid for 100 yen.

Oh, how cute!

How much?

Three thousand yen, Miss!

Three thousand yen?! That's so expensive!

Aw, no it's not! After all, this is a Wedgewood...

No, no, I want that!

Huh? This?

Yeah! It's super-cute!

I-I'll let you have it for 500 yen.

Okay!

That was a good find, huh?

It sold!

Tsukimi, we're calling the gang over!

Huh?

What?

Stuffed animals we don't want and a sewing kit?

Bring them? Right now?

She says if we bring a sewing kit to the flea market, she'll give us 5,000 yen.

Let's go!

I'll take an old-fashioned donut and an iced coffee.

A pāo-de-ring donut and an iced coffee for me.

Yo.

Sugi my man.

Wow, political families have it rough, huh?

I mean, if a grown man has to have every girlfriend vetted by his parents...

So, what's her name?

You don't know?

Okay, draw her. Give me a sketch or something.

Try drawing a Benz. S-Class.

S-Class?

Sheesh, and you're good at drawing what you're interested in, too...

If you ever witness a hit-and-run, you should do a sketch for the police.

They'll give you an award.

I can only draw Benzes, though.

Anyway, I'm on it.

I'll start tailing the young master today.

Oh, have my donut, too.

Really? Thanks, Sugi!

Okay, girls, thanks for coming!

Th-Th-There are Stylish everywhere!

Hey, get back here!

It's too much! This place is too much!

You'll be fine. I'll make you an "After" Sister right now.

There's you, you, and you... and Chieko can stay as-is.

Again?!

You're hardly even trying this time.

We have lots of work to do today!

Are you finished, Tsukimi?

Almost.

Hmm? Tsukimi?

Come to think of it, where is Tsukimi?

Sheesh. This is Tsukimi!

"After" Tsukimi.

Sorry, I didn't recognize you at all...

Forgive me, Tsukimi! I took you for just another Stylish,

- so I silently recited the word "Die!" at you two hundred times! - It's okay. May I please wear my glasses?

- I'm so sorry! - It's okay. May I please wear my glasses?

Here.

We're all going to sit here and make Claras.

You're... telling us to make those things?

Why?

To sell! We sold one!

Well, I'll be darned. For ten yen?

For five hundred.

"Five Hundred" For five hundred.

"Five Hundred"

But anyway... This doesn't look like a jellyfish at all, Tsukimi.

What? B-But you told me to make Claras out of this pile of clothes, so...

Oh, please! You need to look for stuff!

Fabric is the most crucial element of fashion!

This looks promising, right?

A jellyfish's fluttering frills...

"Directory of Today's Conferences"

Goodness!

Hello.

I'm sorry, Sir. Please go on ahead; I need to stop by the restroom first.

Exactly why are you doing this?

No need to worry... as long as you buy me a drink tonight at my building's bar.

And if I say no?

Blackmail, I see. That's a crime, you know.

I'm the type of woman who will do anything to get what she wants.

What you want is an agreement with my father

about the Amamizu redevelopment project, isn't it?

I'll be waiting for you tonight.

The deal is sealed!

Chieko's sewing at the speed of sound!

I can't believe anyone can sew that fast by hand!

Of course we can. Hand-sewing is a fundamental of traditional clothing.

You have to turn a bolt of cloth into a finished product entirely by hand,

so if you can't be quick about it there's no point.

Here, it's done.

S-S-S-Sissy!

Like a Sister?

No! This is Sissy the Sanderia malayensis! A new character!

This white lace is exactly what a Sanderia malayensis looks like!

Next let's take this lace and this cloth

and make Sissy a little sister!

Do you think those things will really sell?

Of course not! Only a small child wouldn't notice how cheap they are!

This good weather charm is cute!

How much is it?

Five hundred yen.

It sold! To a small child!

That's not a good weather charm. It's a jellyfish doll.

You mean like those things in the ocean?

My goodness, I've never seen a jellyfish doll before.

I'll take one, please!

- Hmm, I'll take that jellyfish there. - What's this? It's adorable!

It's a jellyfish doll.

How much is it?

Five hundred yen!

How cute! What is it?

That's a jellyfish doll!

Somebody make a poster! Otherwise nobody can tell they're jellyfish!

A poster, you say?

Something like, "Big seller! The only handmade jellyfish doll in the world!

Each one has a different face!"

"World's Only Handmade Jellyfish Dolls" "Five Hundred Yen Each" "To the restoration of the Han dynasty..." Each one has a different face!"

"World's Only Handmade Jellyfish Dolls" "Five Hundred Yen Each" "To the restoration of the Han dynasty..." Don't draw stuff that makes no sense!

Don't draw stuff that makes no sense!

"Jellyfish Dolls" "¥500" Don't draw stuff that makes no sense!

"Jellyfish Dolls" "¥500" Trains aren't relevant!

Trains aren't relevant!

"I have a jellyfish doll, too." Trains aren't relevant!

"I have a jellyfish doll, too." And neither is Takeo Chii!

And neither is Takeo Chii!

Forget it! Tsukimi...

There!

Flower hat jelly!

Purple jelly!

Lion's mane jelly!

Spotted jelly!

There, done!

Mayaya, move all that Wedgewood stuff out of the way!

We'll line 'em all up!

"Stuffed Jellyfish Dolls" "¥500"

"Stuffed Jellyfish Dolls" "¥500"

Wait... all of them?

Sold out!

It's commercial time!

Clara!

It's the second half!

Tequila!

Chieko, do you have a piggy bank or something?

Ah, yes...

This will work.

What's with this thing? It's just a carved bear.

It looks like a woodcarving, but it's actually ceramic.

You put the money in here, see?

No! Kumataro's been stabbed in the back by a banknote!

That curio perfectly symbolizes the sacrifice of Earth's wildlife

at the hands of the human ego.

Listen up.

We're going to save whatever we can in here, and make it our war chest.

War chest?

Yep, our capital!

To help us make a ton of jellyfish dolls and sell them on the internet!

You intend to draft us into forced labor, don't you?!

What's the big deal? None of you are doing anything anyway.

Do a little work for a change!

The original Clara here!

Coming in at #1 on this week's

"Top Five Things You Shouldn't Ask the Sisterhood":

"Top Five Things You Shouldn't Ask the Sisterhood" "Top Five Things You Shouldn't Ask the Sisterhood":

"Work!" "Top Five Things You Shouldn't Ask the Sisterhood":

"Work!" "Work!"

"Work!"

Those who don't work don't eat, I say!

Hey, come to think of it, where's Tsukimi?

Mom...

Tsukimi, when you get married I'll make you a dress just like this, okay?

Mom...

- A fluttery dress just like a princess's. - A girl like me will never be able to get married, but...

Or is it weird that jellyfish remind me of princesses?

If...

If, by some one-in-a-billion chance...

Tsukimi!

...I were to have a wedding day...

...and if you were still alive...

- I'm coming in! ...and if you were still alive...

I wonder what the wedding dress you'd make me would look like?

Tsukimi?

Are you suicidal?!

What's with you?

Fine, I get it. I'll leave. I'll leave!

M-My heart... No!

It's only because that idiot was about to jump out the window.

That's definitely why my heart's pounding. Yeah.

Sheesh!

Oh, that smells good! Black tea?

No indeed! It is roasted tea!

Oh, I see! I want some, too!

Here you go.

I sliced up some bean jelly, too.

Thanks! Don't mind if I do!

It won't stop.

My heart won't stop pounding!

Emergency!

What happened?! Are you choking on the bean jelly?!

Drink some tea!

My chest... is clenching...

This is a case for Vicks VapoRub!

I-I don't think that's quite right...

Impossible... This is impossible.

I've been a hit with the ladies since birth.

I... I, of all people...

Fake boobs!

"Fake Boobs" Fake boobs!

"Fake Boobs" Uh-oh.

Tsukimi!

We've been tricked!

Huh?

Out of the goodness of our hearts we brought the wretch Vicks,

yet... yet... when we yanked down that tube top!

She was wearing inserts! She pretends to be stacked,

but she's just a skinny, flat-chested woman with too much makeup!

I'm glad you came.

I was worried you wouldn't.

I'll leave as soon as our business is done.

Oolong tea, please.

- Right away, Sir. - Dear me, you're not going to drink?

No.

Now, now. Coming to a bar and saying you won't drink is just crass.

Call me crass, then. I won't drink.

Once you've said your piece, I'll go home.

I don't have a "piece" to say.

I just wanted to see you.

If you won't have a drink...

Perhaps I'll have you take me for a drive.

"Koibuchi"

"Koibuchi" Yes, I'll come pick you up in Roppongi.

"Koibuchi" What? I'm not bringing you home?

What? I'm not bringing you home?

Let's see...

I guess I'll ask Sugi.

That you, Sugi? Are you tailing Shu right now?

He told me to bring the car out to Roppongi for some reason,

so I'm wondering if he's with that knockout...

If he is, make sure you get the photos.

Mr. Koibuchi won't stop pestering me to find out about her.

H-H-H-H-He saw me!

I was seen by a member of the last species I'd ever want to see me!

He saw my ugly, undesirable self

wrapped in tattered sheets and playing like I was wearing a wedding dress!

Ow...

Mom... What the heck is wrong with me?

My heart speeding up until I can't breathe... that's just pathetic!

I wonder why Tsukimi was dressed up like that...

Wrapped up in white sheets, with an old cloth on her head...

Pretending to be a princess? At her age?

Is she finally getting interested in clothes, thanks to me?

In which case...

You know what, Kuranosuke? I have a big dream!

I want to fill this closet with gorgeous dresses from all over the world.

That's my dream!

In which case, I wonder what her face would look like

if I showed her Mom's closet...

Even if Mom were alive

and she made me a dress of snow-white lace like that jellyfish...

To look good in it, I'd have to be pale-skinned,

long-limbed, wide-eyed, long-lashed...

So... like him, basically.

Hey! Don't run away!

You dropped this!

I don't want it! Throw it away!

It's nothing to be so embarrassed about!

Every girl plays "one-woman fashion show" sometimes!

I-I-I wasn't doing that!

I just remembered something my mom said, so I was testing it out!

Your mom?

Mom told me she would make me a dress like a jellyfish!

So making jellyfish dolls this afternoon, I remembered that!

Tsukimi...

P-Please don't tell the others!

Tsukimi!

Let's make one!

Let's make a jellyfish dress!

We'll make jellyfish dresses, sell them, rake in the dough...

...get famous... become billionaires...

Um, what are you talking about?

...and then use the money to buy this place!
