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!

Give It Your All, Kichinosuke!

"Holy cow, don't make me laugh. No chance in hell."

You keep your big trap shut!

However...

"However..."? Where are you going with this?

"If Jun manages to grow 15 cm taller,"

"they could become quite the nice couple."

Really? Only 15cm?

Jun...

Zero...

Agh! Oh no!

Jun...

Jun.

That dream's not coming true!

Yeah, you're right... That dream's not coming true.

Huh?!

Looks like it's time to give up!

Where are you going?

Don't get down in the dumps!

I'm still by your side!

Wagh!!!

Just desserts for ruining a fair maiden's dreams.

Off you go!

Stay away!!!

Agh! Cut it out!

No, don't! Agh!

Please, stop!

S-Stop it!

Stooooop iiiit!

So, all it's going to take is another 15 cm, huh?

Jun!

It's the middle of the night!

I'm sorry!

I'll keep it down as much as I can!

Still groggy, aintcha, dear? Your glasses are upside down!

Oh, my...

And dear, I hate to tell you, that's not a newspaper you have there...

Oh? Really?

Huh? It's the cat?!

Thanks to Jun, I didn't get much for shut-eye last night...

You're not kidding...

What on earth is she making up there?

Huh? What's that sound?

Betcha it ain't anything good...

It's Jun!

Oops, she broke!!!

Save me!!!

Ahhhhh!!!

What the heck you tryin' to do?!

St-Stop this crazy thing!

My goodness, Jun! What have you done?

Mama! You gotta hit the one on the left!

Which one on the left though, dear?

Kichinosuke!

Bust this thing into scrap!

You got it!

Jun...

You mind knockin' off makin' ridiculous junk like this?

Did something happen, Jun?

- You seem down in the dumps! - Well, nothing really...

Just cheer up already!

How rude, when am I not cheerful?

Ah, good morning, Sensei!

Ah, good morning! In high spirits, are we?

Good morning!

Ah! Good morning!

Oh hello, Heihachiro!

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

- Good morning, Ohata Sensei! - Ah, good morning.

Such a wonderful thing to see new lives emerge into this world!

Wow, these baby chicks sure look a lot like you!

Wait, like me?

Ah! This one looks just like Zero!

Really...?

Like they're your kids, even!

Oh my, what a thing to say...

- Good for you, Jun! - Oh come on, haha!

Wow, get a load of Little Miss Giggles.

That girl's just way too simple...

How naive can you get.

Everyone, be quiet!

Since we're starting the new semester, it's as good a time as any to conduct home visits.

Knock it off!

Kicking up this much of a fuss only proves that you're all up to no good.

Isn't that right, Nonomiya?

Huh? M-Me?!

N-No fuss here, no siree! Ha ha ha!

You have to be kidding!

If he does the home visit now,

he's going to spill the beans about all the havoc Kichinosuke causes!

They'll end up slashing my allowance...!

- Kichinosuke? - Yes, this is Kichinosuke!

Listen up, okay?

I really need you to stay glued to that space for the rest of the day!

Cool, I got it!

Glued to your face? Coming right up!

With that said, I bet you'll study hard today!

Now then, on to Page 7...

- I've arrived! - WAGH!!!

B-But didn't I say you needed to be glued to...

Yes, glued to your face!

And ready or not, here I come!

That's not what I said, you moron!

- Nonomiya!!! - Sensei!!!

Oh? What's the problem, Mizuno?

We're supposed to be preparing for entrance exams!

We can't study with this going on.

Wouldn't you agree, Sensei?

Hmmm.

We do have a rule about sneaking unnecessary objects into school.

Why you calling me an "unnecessary object", Heihachiro?

Because that's what you are!

You catch my drift?

You've got it all wrong, Heihachiro!

Still calling me by my first name, are you?

I'll have you know I'm a big help to this school!

A lie if I ever heard one!

I'm not lying!

Oh, indeed you are!

Well then, let me prove it to you!!!

Huh? What are you doing?!

Power up!!!

I'm going to give it my all!

Nonomiya...

Do something about that nitwit!!!

O-Okay!

Don't laugh...

Don't you dare laugh!!!

Oh, my beautiful lover...

She's the chief's daughter...

What the heck?

Wh-What's this now?

Enough! Give me back my broom!

S-Someone catch that little rascal!

Get back here!

Ah, this corridor here is sparkling...

All in order!

This, too!

Everything in order!

And this, too!

Phew, all perfect!

Kichinosuke!

Ah!!!

Kichinosuke, what did you do?!

What was that scream?! Hold on, I'm coming!

Everything's all right! I'm here now --

Ow...

Time to pull out the weeds for a pretty flower garden!

Pluck this... and this...

Pluck, and pluck... pluck!

He can't, he wouldn't... he's not...!

Oh no, it's all over...!

My goodness, what's with all the ruckus?

What on earth?!

It's so... COLORFUL!!!

NONOMIYA!!!

Y-Yes...

Enough!

You're not to bring that robot to school ANYMORE!!!

Okay...

Sensei!

I'd much prefer if she didn't bring any other silly inventions, as well.

AGREED!

And that's how it is. What do you say?

Okay. I agree.

- Still... - What is it.

What if she happens to break her promise?

...I'll drop out of this school.

Opposed!

I oppose, as well!

Yo, count me in as opposed, too.

- Zero... - Heh.

You just came to class now! Why would you be opposed?

I couldn't give a crap about Kichinosuke or the other useless junk she makes.

Rage... building!

I'll tell ya what, though...

I ain't a fan of someone tryin' to mess with my lunch.

Kanou...

Okay, fine. You're fine, Nonomiya's fine.

You're all such splendid students...

I'm just... OVERFLOWING with joy!!!

Ah...

Starting tomorrow, I can't do a single thing...

...if Zero ends up napping in class again.

I'm sorry. I messed up, big time.

It's fine, really.

You're just doing as you've always done, and to the fullest as well.

Yeah.

Well hello, Jun-chan!

Huh?

Ah! It's Zero's grandmother!

Now then, what's with the long face?

Ah, I see, so that's how things are...

Now that sounds like quite the pickle!

But still, you know...

All these things you've done,

they're born from the kindness of your heart, full of consideration for others.

I doubt the powers that be would forsake you now...

The powers that be...?

Yes, that's what I said!

Why, happiness is certainly coming around the bend!

Of that I'm sure.

Thank you very much, ma'am!

You really lifted my spirits!

Whoa, so you cheered up?

Of course I did!

Ah, now that's what I'm talking about!

AGGH!!! It's freezin'!!!

Wh-What the hell's your problem, Grams?

I needed to wake you up! You'd be late for school, otherwise!

It's only 8, ain't it?

The hell you gettin' me up now, for...

Now you listen good!

You bear some of the responsibility as well for the troubles Jun faced yesterday!

Yeah, sure, I got that...

But look, all o' this is 'cause she --

Stop flapping your lips!!!

If you "got it", you'll stop spouting excuses and get your rear in gear!

I'm goin', I'm goin', just leave me alone!!!

Now then, the conductivity of heat...

Wh-What I'm trying to say, heat...

Conductivity...!

Convection!!!

Enough with the racket!!!

Well, Kanou showing up for first period is pretty rare.

That boy's not going to wake up, no matter how hard I try.

...Wait.

Those snores are getting on my nerves, but I can't lose sight of Nonomiya.

Nothing good can happen when that girl has her gaze fixed on him.

It can't be...

She's brought some wacky new invention in spite of the promise she made yesterday!

It can't be!

Just like out of some lousy manga...

Or wait, maybe this!!!

It's more than possible...

What should I do?!

All I have is my intuition.

Wait until it triggers, and then jump!

Strike with all my might!

I can't afford a single moment of carelessness.

S-Sensei...

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

Ah, is that so! Well, sorry, so sorry!

Guess I'm a bit too on edge...!

- Eat this! - Agh!!!

Sensei...

Can you just tell me what I did?!

Oh?

Ah! Ha ha ha ha! I see!

Just what is going on in my head today, I wonder?

Sheesh, Sensei, you're a handful!

Oh, no!

My nerves are so frazzled I'm getting hiccups!

Ah, apologies...

In the meantime, you have free -- HIC -- study.

Jun, I really hope you come home soon...

Nurse's Office

Excuse me...

You wouldn't -- HIC! Happen to have medicine -- HIC?

Ah yes, I see what's going on!

Now then, which medicine should I pick for this situation?

All right, let him think I'm going to the medicine cabinet...

Wah!

Wah!

So? They've stopped, haven't they?

Ah, well then. One more time!

- WAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! - Agh!!!

So? Did I get them that time?

Y-Yeah... Thanks for your service...

Oh? There's one more thing...

I have to admit, it looks like the world's starting to shake...

Ah!!! This isn't anything to do with you!

Earthquake!!!

Earthquake?!

It's all right! For I'm here by your side!

There's no need to worry...

It's over! And it appears there's no cause for concern.

How long you gonna keep your paws on me?!

Jun, isn't there something you can do?

I'd like to call Kichinosuke,

but I did make that promise with everyone yesterday.

I see...

But still, that swallow's nest...!

- Hurry up and do something! - The heck? A swallow's nest?

That's right! And it's going to fall! Hurry up and save them!

Huh? You talkin' to me?

Here, you'll need this.

The heck?

You've gone rock climbing, right? This should be a breeze!

Please?

Hurry! It's going to fall!

Nope, not gonna.

...But why?

I don't got that sort of trainin'!

And heck, I got an empty stomach!

Are you kidding me?

Heh, this kinda lame-ass stuff should be done by that twerp Kichinosuke.

But Zero, that robot's not allowed to show up at school anymore!

Ah, but if Nonomiya's willing to keep her word and drop out,

I guess that would be all right...

Jun, don't listen to those airheads.

...I'm going to do it!

- Jun! - Jun!

Kichinosuke...

Please, you have to save the swallow's nest!

Jun, you really are incredible...

That's right! We'll be leaving with you if you get kicked out!

Just hold on, 'lil swallows!

The mighty Kichinosuke shall arrive soon!

Ah, look up in the sky!

He's here!

I'm here!!!

You're safe now!

Nonomiya!

Huh?

So you just had to break your promise in the end, didn't you.

All right!

I think I'll make you the subject of the day's home visit.

Ah, it's completely over now...

Sensei's here doing his home visit.

I'll never be able to see Zero again!

So long, springtime of my youth...!

Jun, c'mon! Cheer up!

Here, I'll polish your head!

Agh! That hurts!

Stop it! My head can't take that sort of thing...

Jun...

Yes...

Your sensei wants to have a word.

Ah... the moment of reckoning is at hand!

Well, I already took the liberty of informing your parents...

Understood.

I'm ready to face my consequences.

"Consequences"?

Your sensei's been singin' your praises this whole time!

Huh?

Yes, I got the background from everyone after it happened.

Treasuring the lives of small, defenseless creatures!

Now that's a splendid thing, indeed!

So, that means...

About me leaving school...

Well, uh... so.

After taking the matter into consideration,

and examining if that robot truly poses a nuisance to the school and its students...

In the grand scheme of things, I'd say he doesn't.

Really?

Not to mention, he does function as your bodyguard...

Heihachiro! A man among men!

- Yahoo!!! - Where are you going? That's rude!

I'm sorry!

Yeah! That's right! That's how it is!

Sensei just talked to my parents!

So I'm going to be making you an extra-tasty bento for tomorrow!

Right? Hello? Zero, are you listening?

Don't fall asleep in class, now, I'll wake you up otherwise!

Hmmph.

Whatever, don't care 'bout that.

I was just warmin' the crowd up,

then I'd show 'em how cool I really am.

Then your dumb robot got jealous and hogged the spotlight!

Now I just look like a jerk!

O-Oh, I suppose so... I'm sorry!

I'll make the bento extra big!

Well hello there, is this Jun-chan?

Oh, hello!

Let me tell you what my foolish grandson really means.

"Oh boy! I'm gonna be able to eat a ton more of Jun's lunches!"

"I'm just so dang happy!"

"Leavin' things to Kichinosuke sure worked like a charm!"

Grams!!! What the hell!

Oh, so you really, really cheered up?

I did! Yahoo!!!

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?

Oh, that Zero!

He's saying his type is less Madame Curie, and more Madame Pickle!

That's it, no more inventions for me!

I'm devoting myself to pickling instead!

But before I quit, one more grand invention!

What is it? Well, that's a secret!

Hai! Step Jun!
