RYOKO'S SEPTEMBER TEA PARTY

Right fifteen degrees, that's it, that's it... steady...

Okay, thank you!

Detail check: Okay.

Motor: Perfect. Voltage: Okay. All set! Ah, steady!

Oh...

I'm bored...

I'm very bored...

I know! Why don't I write a letter?

Here you are, Miss Ryoko.

"In this time when the dead leaves dance...

What's this?

A party?! Oh! Is that for me? Huh? No way!

I swear... What the hell is this about, this early on a Sunday morning?

I'm sleepy... What, a tea party?

That's Miss Asuka, all right! Perfect as usual!

Huh? A tea party?

Yes, given by Miss Ryoko...

..in order to deepen friendship on these long autumn nights...

...and all that sort of thing.

Oh! What should I do?

Eh, that's basically what it boils down to.

Uh, therefore, she would very much like for you to attend.

That's what it boils down to.

Target sighted. Target sighted. Wind from the ESE. Jump angle okay.

Kuroko A, go!

For me?

Well, the rest, the same as before.

Huh... It's not easy being a Kuroko, either, is it?

Excuse me...

W-Who the hell are you? Where did you come from?

Oh, excuse me. This is an invitation from Miss Ryoko.

Welcome!

I've invited you because I'd like to enjoy some conversation...

...on this long autumn night.

I wonder how long it has been...

..since I first visited Tomobiki High, to see my brother.

At that time, the first person I met, was, if I recall...

...Mr. Morohoshi Ataru.

Oh, a lovely flower scent.

This handkerchief must belong to a beautiful woman.

Wow!

Miss, you dropped your handkerchief.

Thank you very much indeed.

Oh, that voice! There must be a beautiful girl inside!

Would you mind coming around to the front of the cart?

Not at all! If you say so, I don't mind.

Darling! I'm gonna lynch you later!

Hey! What's going on? What's going on?

Your hand...

Here!

Oh, w-what a cold, soft hand!

A s-sweet girl!

A s-sweet girl... I'm p-p-etrified!

Darling, hang on!

Excuse us. Excuse us. Excuse us.

I remember your being quite kind to me when I arrived at the classroom.

Ryoko, what on Earth are you doing here?

Actually, I'm here to bring you your lunch.

Oh, gee thanks.

Huh? W-Wait a minute, I have a lunch with me.

Th-That can't be!

Look! Here it is!

But didn't you forget it?

Hold it! When was that?

Monday.

Well, today is Wednesday, you know.

So that means this is two days old.

No. It's from the week before, making it nine days old.

We took many breaks along the way...

...and besides, oxcarts are very slow, you see...

Who the hell delivers lunches by oxcart?!

That explains why I thought I hadn't seen you lately!

Here, brother, please, hurry up and eat!

Sashimi, eggs, fresh vegetables... all foods that spoil easily! Here, here!

It's totally rotten!

And all sticky, too!

Sorry, but I'm full!

B-B-Brother!

Sorry, but I'm full!

And here I've just taken the last week and two days off from school...

...being bounced around in an oxcart...

What on Earth was it for?!

Oh, oh, you made her cry!

Ryoko, Ryoko, don't cry! Oh, oh, you made her cry!

You're mean, Big Brother! After I went to the trouble to bring it to you!

Ryoko, come on, don't cry! Ryoko!

Ryoko, how sweet of you to spend a week and two days for me...

How pitiful... I'l eat it.

Huh? R-Really?

Come on!

Don't do it! You'll get ptomaine poisoning!

Ataru, don't do it! Stop it!

And then, there was the Summer Christmas...

We'll be at the hall soon.

Thank you. Right on time.

What's wrong?

Megane, hey, Megane, will we be all right?

Can we avoid being found out? Am I pretty?

Brother, where are you going?

Obviously, I'm going to carve up Moroboshi Ataru!

Ryoko! Here I come! Charge!

Hey, Lum, what's the big idea? I can't climb!

You want Ryoko, that's all! I won't let you have your way!

Bastard! Hold it right there!

Th-That voice!

l, Mendou Shutaro, will send you to Hell today for sure, you bastard!

Mendou give Lum a kiss? Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable!

Hang on, Mendou! I'm coming!

I wonder what's become of my brother?

According to calculations, he should have hit the first floor hall 15 seconds ago.

Oh, how terrible!

What a pity that my brother should pass away on Christmas!

He must be a truly awful sight!

Oh, Brother, are you alive?

l... 1 can't possibly die without striking down Moroboshi!

Here I come, Moroboshi!

Please, stop it, Brother! ...Brother! Here I come, Moroboshi!

Ryoko, don't make me turn my sword on you!

Even though you're my sister, I won't forgive you interrupting...

..this sacred man-to-man battle!

Moroboshi Ataru has passed the 130-meter point!

He is approaching the first group!

Oh no he won't!

Big Brother! Oh no he won't!

Darling! No!

Ryoko!

Everyone was getting along so well, and so sweet and kind, too!

So I think my Brother is very lucky to have such friends.

W-What the? What's going on?

All hands, retreat! All hands, retreat!

Yo! Tamaya!

I've always felt such a glow from your beautiful friendship.

I would like to know much more about all of you.

Therefore, without any extraneous gentlemen...

...I would like to enjoy conversation among just ourselves today.

That's an excellent idea!

Hey you! "Gentlemen" means "men," you know!

Fear not! I'm a monk!

I'm not like other gentlemen, who are full of lustful thoughts! Be at ease!

Can I get another helping?

I'm especially interested in the various relationships you all have.

Re... Relationships, you say...

Hmm... That's difficult!

Does that mean brothers?

Sign: "Summer Film Festival"

"Shinobu, of the Miyake Family."

You sent me a postcard.

That's why I remembered.

When was it, I wonder?

If memory serves...

June 14th. Rain. Rain again this morning.

Everything's breathing quietly this morning...

...tracking the continuation of their lost dreams.

On such a day as this, I'd like to just take it easy and not go to school...

...but simply listen to the gentle sound of the rain, all day long.

Oh, how terrible! Ganging up on that poor little puppy!

Hey! Stop that! Shoo! Shoo!

Oh, how scary!

It's all right now, puppy!

Oh, this is a fox!

That was our first meeting.

But after that...

You must have looked all over.

Shinobu! Let's go have soft ice cream!

Later, later! I gotta go to the Police Box!

The Police Box?!

I see... he's gone...

But I came here to help find someone who would keep him...

Let's go, Shinobu.

Oh, thank you.

Ryuunosuke, will you tell me something about yourself?

Who, me? Ever since I was a little kid...

..my old man and I had been running Hama Teashop.

Slowpoke! Slowpoke! Stay away! Stay away!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Now, Ryuunosuke!

You... You stupid ocean!

And then, along came Lum, Shinobu and the rest...

You idiot! How many times do I have to tell you?!

After all the times I've told you not to mistime it, you should be ashamed!

Have you forgotten the words of your father, who said...

"...I won't say this again...

...you must work hard against the wave, like normal people!?!"

Bastard! Aren't you the one who shouted, "Now is the time!"

I felt that punch! But, Ryuunosuke!

Why don't you throw that anger at the ocean?

What will hitting your father accomplish?

You started it! What're you saying?!

I won't allow backtalk! Continue! Don't waste time!

We cannot waste time!

Cool off in the ocean!

Look out, Miss!

Sorry about that. I'm too accustomed to fighting...

What a pitiful little girl...

Get your hands off me!

Look at that raging ocean, Ryuunosuke!

How about it? This strength, this toughness, this intensity!

If this isn't a man's world...

..what is?!

I'M A WOMAN!

Why you rotten old man!

And that's kinda how we trashed Hama Teashop.

In order to raise funds to rebuild it, I came here.

Oh, what a moving story.

By the way, what about your parents, Ten?

M-My mother!

My aunt is a successful career woman.

A career woman?

Uh-huh. The last time she came was... Summer!

THAT DOES IT!

Today you're gonna get it! You... You!

I'll burn you to a crisp!

Knock it off!

Why... Why, Lum? I'm a good boy!

What's good about you?

I've been meaning to ask for a long time now...

just what kind of upbringing did you have, anyway?!

What are your parents thinking, dropping their brat off at someone else's house?

It's common sense to visit with a gift, even just once, isn't it?!

Both my parents are busy! My mother's working to help my father!

She doesn't have time to visit idiots!

Ah, an ideal couple!

Both of you knock it off!

W-What the?!

W-What's this?

M-Mother...

"Mother?"

Th-This is your mother? There IS a resemblance.

Ma'am, it may not be my place, but just what does childrearing mean to you?!

Well?! What do you mean, "Jijijiji?!"

This is a real inconvenience to my family! Are you listening?

What kind of mother is this?!

Self-destructing is absolutely irresponsible!

Darling, that's not Ten's mother.

That's Mother's personal express courier robot, you jerk!

What's it say, Ten?

"Are you being a good boy? I'm passing near Earth right now...

"...50 in two or three days, I'd like to..."

Drop by?

W-What was that just now?

What happened!

What is this?!

I'm very sorry.

I got the re-entry vector wrong. I hope everyone's all right.

Oh, Auntie! Long time no see!

Hello!

I'm very sorry. I wanted to visit much earlier than this...

...but my work keeps me very busy!

Ah! A woman firefighter!

Uh-huh. Ah! A woman firefighter!

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. That's really cool!

Still, you're really quite young! I can't believe you're a mother!

How are you, Ten? Have you REALLY been a good boy?

Yes. How are you, Ten? Have you REALLY been a good boy?

It's been a long time, Ten. Let your mother baby you.

Huh?! Uh, yeah, right... okay, then...

Come here, Ten!

Er... Yes! Come here, Ten!

Hey, Ten, your right arm and leg are moving together.

Oh, is... is that so?

You're strange. Why don't you go "YAY!" like you usually do?

You idiot! When have I ever done anything like that?!

Ten! What did you just say?

Did I just say something? Ten! What did you just say?

Don't take advantage of the confusion!

I-It was just a "for instance!"

So, now I would like to be babied a little... Please.

Th-Thanks.

That's a good hoy.

Thank you... Thank you.

Ten goes to pieces when he's faced with Auntie.

M-Mother...

These are all truly enviable stories.

Are there any interesting things you've all done together?

The Seven Days in June, maybe?

What was that?

It was when... we all connived to punish Moroboshi Ataru.

We discussed it amongst ourselves in advance...

...and invited him to an uncharted desert island.

Oh! Sounds like fun!

Everyone did a good acting job.

Darling, this song?

Yeah, it's the same tune as the music box that came to our place.

Yeah, I received one, too...

The owner of this mansion really seems to like this piece.

I got one, too.

What's its name?

"Who Killed Cock Robin?"

That's the title of this piece.

First one up was me.

Cherry! Hey! Cherry! Wake up! Cherry!

Damn! It's locked! Open up, Cherry! Give us back the food!

Lum!

Okay! Lum!

Here!

Next was the Gang of Four.

What'd they go down to the basement for?

They said they were going to check out the inside of the mansion.

Megane!

Oh! Darling! Megane!

Huh? Perm?

What're you doing there?

Hey, Perm!

Oh! Kakugari!

Darling!

After that, they even played out trying to solve the mystery.

Oh, what good actors!

That music box...

..means it's a serial murder based on...

..the Mother Goose rhyme, "Who Killed Cock Robin?"

No way! This isn't Agatha Christie!

Just listen. The rhyme goes like this:

"Who killed Cock Robin?" "I," said the sparrow...

"...with my bow and arrow, I killed Cock Robin."

"Who saw him die?" "I," said the fly...

"...with my little eye, I saw him die."

"Who caught his blood?" "I," said the fish...

"...with my little dish, I caught his blood."

"Who'll make his shroud?" "1," said the beetle...

"...with my thread and needle, I'll make his shroud."

"Who'll dig his grave?" "1," said the owl...

"...with my pick and shovel, I'll dig his grave."

If these killings aren't based on it, then what are they?

Who... why?

I don't know!

What comes next?

There are fourteen in all. The remaining ones are...

Then, at day's end, came Sakura's turn...

How... How awful...

"W-Who'll be the parson?" "I... I... I," said the rook...

"...with my little book, I'll be the parson."

They really got into it, right down to fine details like make-up.

It was really something.

I had no idea that everybody was just acting.

Shutaro told me about it later.

Yes... After that, Mendou and I played dead...

"Who'll carry the link?" "I," said the linnet...

"Who'll carry the coffin?" "I," said the kite, "if it's not through night..."

Stop it! I don't want to hear it!

Darling! Stop it! I don't want to hear it!

That's why I said, last night, that we should look for them!

But... damn it... when you're dead, it's all over!

And after that was me.

Lum! LUM!

L-Lum!

In the rhyme, the wren, cock and hen, will bear the pall...

..hb-but...

LUM!

Hold it, Moroboshi! LUM!

Let go! Give Lum back to me!

Return Lum to the way she was!

Calm down! Return Lum to the way she was!

Calm down, Moroboshi!

Lum... Calm down, Moroboshi!

Moroboshi!

Where?! Where are you?! Come out!

Show yourself!

Mr. Onsen was the last one...

The psalm... the thrush, as she sat on the bush... Now it's my turn...

And then, the showdown with himself...

So you're the killer!

If you're gonna kill me too, go ahead!

But I won't die alone. I'll have you be my escort to Hell!

I won't kill you.

What?! I won't kill you.

After all...

Wonderful! What happened to Ataru after that?

Hmm. After that, he was found in the mansion, apparently out of his mind...

...but the damage wasn't permanent.

Mr. Moroboshi, you need absolute rest.

Aw, don't say that, honey. Gimme your address and phone number.

I told you, stop that!

Honey! Come on! I told you, stop that!

Honey! Come on!

Honey! Come on! No!

Hey, hold it, hey! Don't be so mean! I'm gonna pinch you!

No! No! Hey, hold it, hey! Don't be so mean! I'm gonna pinch you!

Pinch, pinch!

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, no, stop that! Aw, come on!

Darling!

I think she finished him off, but...

...now that I think about it, maybe Ataru was the one who was acting...

...in hopes of being excused from school.

He's the type who'd do it.

Wonderful! I had no idea that you did such interesting things!

Since we're all here, why don't WE do something?

"Something?"

Why?

What?

What should we do?

Ominous...

Even though it's morning, what is this chill running throughout my body?

Furthermore, what's with this straw doll that arrived this morning?

Moroboshi!

Okay! Come on, class is starting!

D-Don't underestimate me!

Th-This morning one was delivered to me, too! Th-This, right?!

Why you! You!

S-Sir! It's not me! And as proof... Here! Take this!

Ow! What the hell are you doing?!

Me-Me-Megane, I didn't think it would be for you!

W-What're you doing?! What're you doing?! What're you doing?!

ow!

W-What gives?!

And there you have it.

Hang in there, Darling! You mustn't lose!

Keep your grip, Mendou! Hang in there!

Thus, for ten days after that, Tomobiki High had to be closed...

..however!

"It's so wonderful... All right"

Ima nara ma ni au We can still make it...

"It's so wonderful"
