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!

Got caught...

I insisted there'd be no peeking, didn't I? Now hurry up and move along!

Shucks, Jun... Sorry 'bout that.

I'm sorry, pico...

Well regardless, it's almost ready!

And what it is will stay a secret until this coming Sunday.

A Balloon Built for Two

Yo!

Good mornin'!

The heck?

Where'd she go...?

Shoulda been right around here...

Huh?

Oh! Are... are you okay?

Your leg hurt at all?

Yeah...

Hurt so bad you can't walk?

Looks like it...

Well then.

Wh-What are you doing? Idiot!!!

Aw geez, the ocean's down there!

Oh my goodness, Zero...

Really?! Zero held you in his arms?

Wow, did that really happen?

C'mon, spit it out already!

To be honest, I should have taken more advantage of the opportunity.

Oh please, there's no way he would've held you in his arms.

Think what you want!

What matters most is what happened next.

But that's all I'll say...

The rest is my little secret.

Well, see you!

- So, a secret, she says. - And she's in that good a mood...

They weren't playing patty cake, that's for sure!

Okay, missy... what do you mean by "what happened next"?

Just what did you two get up to!

D-Didn't I say it's a secret?

But that's not going to be enough for you two, huh.

Okay, I'll tell you... But you better not regret it!

So the story is, Zero was kindly walking me over to the nurse's office.

Sorry to bug ya, but we're gonna need some treatment here.

What the? Ain't no one here.

And so, this is how Zero and I ended up in a room by ourselves.

A-And then you...!

And that's when... That's when he confessed to me!

- He confessed?! - He confessed?!

All right, that'll do it.

Oh, thank you so much...

S-So, I think I'll hang on to this and wash it for you.

Eh, don't worry 'bout it.

How 'bout you get me a reservation at your restaurant tomorrow instead?

Of course I can!

Hopin' you can whip me up a special menu, too.

Y'see, I'll be there with someone real special.

- Someone real special...? - Yep.

Yep, I'd have to say they're the person closest to me...

And at the time, I was only a mere 30 cm away from Zero!

Oops, your bags fell.

Yeah, 'cause we dropped them. On purpose.

I see, really!

Well, that tears it. She's sick in the head, through and through.

There's no way Jun is Zero's special someone.

- Well, I'm going home. - Me too.

Oh my, I can't stand it...!

Finally, Zero's going to be confessing his love for me, once and for all...

For some time now, you've been...

And for me, you've been...

Zero...

Excuse me, Nonomiya? Could you perhaps give me back my racket?

Oh jeepers, when did I do that? Well anyway, I have to hurry off!

So, word is you're planning a date with Zero tomorrow.

Wow, looks like news travels fast, doesn't it?

Oh Zero, you big blabbermouth!

Anyways, I'll ask that you cancel whatever plans you have.

Huh...?

That's the day I'll be meeting Zero's father for the first time.

And Zero's already on board with it. Well, goodbye...

Yeah, I figured it was something like that.

Seconds, please.

I was acting like a complete fool.

I had absolutely no idea that Zero's father would be visiting then.

How many lumps of sugar, pico?

Look, pouting about this isn't going to get you anywhere.

The issue here is --

I'll take two lumps, please.

You got it...

The issue here is what you're going to do next!

But still... Yoko's in the mix now...

Now you listen here, you just forget about dumb ol' Yoko!

Ah, don't forget the milk.

Sure won't.

What's important here is your heart.

A true heart at that!

Yep, all true! Gotta have heart!

And especially a true heart, pico!

If you pour your heart and soul into the dishes you make for Zero's father...

Thanks -- Wagh!

Pour my heart and soul into my cooking...

Here, have a sip of this!

So, you like it...?

Pico.

So, Daddy?

What's the verdict on Jun's soup?

Might as well take some to Zero and let him have a taste.

To Zero?

Yep.

And you tell 'im if he doesn't show up for this stuff, I'll box in his ears!

Really?!

Thank you so much, Daddy!

Aw geez, girl, don't go all nuts now--!

See you later!

- Take care out there, okay? - Oh, of course I will!

Let's get moving, Kichinosuke and Yukinojo!

Hey!

So...

You think Jun remembers that tomorrow's Father's Day?

I'm sure she does.

That girl hasn't forgotten a single thing during her life!

Heh, you got a point.

Kichinosuke...

I'll carry it from here. Thanks for all your help!

Hey, I'm here anyway, why don't I bring it to his room?

I said it's fine, didn't I?! Now hand it over already!

That's Jun for you, always hogging the spotlight!

Oh really!

Maybe this will convince you?

Wh-What are you doin', jackass? Why the hell you out here!

...Ah, Z-Zero!

I thought I'd let you sample some of tomorrow night's special menu.

Sample?!

Always gotta be a damn busybody, don't ya.

Wh-What?!

Who cares, just do somethin' about this nimrod already!

Kichinosuke, stop this at once!

Fine, whatever.

Oh my...

What's the problem.

You better not abuse Jun's kindness.

Hmmph, or else what?

No forgiveness.

Here, somethin' for your trouble.

What's that?

Aw, would ya look at that? Nothin' to do with me, either.

Wh-Why did you do this?!

I'm so sorry about this, Jun-chan...

I-It's fine, really... I was actually only coming here to return this, anyway.

The truth is, there's a reason why that boy is so furious right now.

Huh?

This just arrived in the mail.

Whatever's written in that letter is what set him off.

Ah! This anchor...

That's a sign that Zero and his father use to wish each other well.

Well, you go ahead and give that a read.

"Zero, I regret to inform you..."

"...that we suddenly need to cancel our return to port."

So that's what happened...

I really was looking forward to being able to see you again.

However, I'm afraid it's not meant to be.

To signal while we pass,

I'll blow the steam whistle three times just for your sake.

Please think of that as my special signal directly to you.

That far away, huh?

No way I'm hearin' a whistle.

Okay then...

Wake up!

Morning, time to get up, pico!

Talking to you, dad!

Waaaaake up, already!!!

It's morning!!!

Morniiiiiiiing!

Ow...

- That smarts. - Oh no, big brother...

The heck --

Wh-What's with all this fuss so early in the mornin'?

Jun's calling for you -- ow.

Well, it's time for the big reveal.

What's the big idea with the early rise?

Good morning, Daddy!

This here is to say thank you for everything that you do!

Really, huh... whattya got in store?

- Oh my... - Whoa!

And now then...

Let me present to you your Father's Day gift!

Huh? The heck is this!

My goodness...

The Harbor Restaurant...

Thanks a ton there, Jun! Nothin's gonna top this present!

Yahoo! I'm so happy to hear it!

It'd be wonderful if this brings a bunch of customers to the restaurant!

Yep, sure would be.

Oh, I don't think you have to worry about that one bit!

Kichinosuke, if you would?

Sorry, my eye really hurts! Can't fly. No way.

Oh!

Okay, your turn, Yukinojo!

Here I go, pico!

- Wow! - Wow!

"Slashing Prices for Father's Day! Amazing Deals!"

There won't be a seat left in the house!

But that anchor symbol is really for the sake of Zero's father.

Even though his ship will be off in the horizon, I sure hope he'll be able to see it.

Heh, that girl... Always goin' above and beyond.

Ha, no chance the customers are gonna come rushin' in anyway.

Dear, can you come help set up please?

Yep, I hear ya. Comin' in now!

Welcome! -- Huh?

Gotta apologize...

Acted like a total jerk last night.

A promise is a promise, so I'm here to try out that special menu!

R-Really?!

Yep.

Yahoooooo!

Okay Daddy, one helping of yesterday's soup!

Yep, okay!

Owowowowow... it smarts!

Big brother, are you okay?

Ah... my eye really hurts...

I know just what to put on it!

Welcome!

Huh...?

Welcome!

Huh?

Welcome.

Wouldja look at that...!!!

'Course this would happen.

This is putting us in a tough spot...

Who would've ever predicted this kind of response?

Jun.

Ah -- Zero, what's wrong?

Looks like things are nuts here, so I'm gonna head out.

But what about trying the special menu?

I'll give it a try again here soon.

Here.

Oh?

This anchor's my trademark.

Don't be usin' it all willy-nilly like that, okay?

Well, see ya!

Ah! Zero!

Chugga chugga choo choo, chugga chugga choo choo...

Chugga choo choo...

Ah, Kichinosuke, perfect timing!

Screeeech.

Why's it perfect timing?

Oh, uh...

I was hopin' you could bring this out, but it looks like you're busy.

Nah, it's fine! I'll take it out for you.

H-Hey, Kichinosuke, don't worry about it!

Chugga chugga! Leave it to me, choo choo choo.

Choo choo -- Huh?

Look, a tunnel!

Sheesh...

If I knew things were going to be end up so busy,

I wouldn't have bothered with this thing in the first place.

That really was a busy day, wasn't it, dear...

Yeah, you aren't kiddin'...

But that girl had her heart in the right place.

She really did...

Chugga chugga choo choo, chugga chugga choo choo!

Huh?

Jun's balloon is gone!

Why are we stopping here?

Just waiting for the traffic light.

Chugga choo choo choo!

So, where's the ol' man's boat gonna be, anyway...

H-Huh? What's goin' on!

J -- Jun!

Th-The heck -- I mean, what's goin' on in her head!

The harbor at night really is incredibly beautiful...

But I'll be heading out to sea pretty soon, so I should call Kichinosuke now.

Kichinosuke! Kichinosuke!

Kichinosuke, I need you to fly out to the harbor right away.

Nope, got a sore eye, so I can't fly!

It's only overheated, right? Cool it off and you'll be fine!

I see! Yukinojo, get me some ice.

You got it, pico!

What are you even talking about?!

Ah, that's...!

Zerooooo!

The hell...

Zero!

Jun!!!

Zero!

Zeroooo...

I'm on my way to save ya!

Just hold on!

Almost got ya!

Ah -- Zero!

H-Hey! Jun!

Dammit...

Zero!!!

Zero...!

N -- No way!!!

Zero, don't look! Don't look!

Please don't look up! Zero, you pervert!!!

Captain, what's that?

"Slashing prices for Father's Day... Amazing deals."

Oh?

Now what are we gonna do? We're out over the open sea.

We'll be just fine! Kichinosuke will come save us in the morning.

But really, I'd be just fine if things could stay like this...

H-Hey.

Take a look at that.

Oh wow, that ship is so huge!

Two times.

Three times...!

To signal while we pass, I'll blow the steam whistle three times just for your sake.

It's Dad's boat...

Yo, Dad!!!

Daaaaaaad!

My apologies, but could I trouble you to blow the steam whistle one more time?

Yes sir!

Dad... thank you.

Daddy... thank you!

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 Kichinosuke and Yukinojo!

They said they wanted their own room,

and now they're building a house!

But those dimwits broke down Yoko's yacht for materials!

Daddy is absolutely furious, and he's ordering me to scrap them!

But how could I ever do that?

Oh, what a pickle...
