Please keep what I'm about to sing

Just between us, okay?

The truth is, I want to keep my desires hidden deep in my heart

A secret, a secret

I want to take shortcuts

Never getting soaked by the rain

Never getting knocked over by the wind

Even if that's being devious, smile

Even if I'm a coward, play with me

I don't want to feel sad

Never getting soaked by tears

Never feeling at my wit's end

Just smile and think I'm insensitive

Only tell me about fun things

See, there are faces I want to see and voices I want to hear

When I wake up I trumpet my joy:

Good morning! Let's have another fine day!

"Princess Jellyfish" Good morning! Let's have another fine day!

"Princess Jellyfish"

Let's make one!

Let's make a jellyfish dress!

And then use the money to buy this place!

What? You want to go home? Right now? As fast as possible?

I don't know what put the idea into my father's head,

but I need to personally explain to him that there's nothing between us.

I'll come along.

No, you won't.

Oh yes I will.

- Wow, I've never been chauffeured before!

- You dropped the ball, Sugi my man. - Wow, I've never been chauffeured before!

Yo! Clara here!

Hanamori doesn't realize that he's the one who dropped the ball!

Always be careful when you use your incoming calls list to dial a number!

That you, Sugi?

Oh, I just can't believe I'll get to meet Mr. Koibuchi in person!

I'll have to be on my best behavior!

What exactly is it that you want?

Shu, traffic is light today. We'll be there in less than five minutes.

Would you please just go home?

Step on it, driver!

Roger.

"Midnight Pureboy"

That was a good bath!

Oh, say, would you like some of this?

"Kantei" Oh, say, would you like some of this?

"Kantei"

That's a bottle of "Kantei" Shaoxing wine, an homage to Guan Yu!

Really? It's normal sweet sake inside, though.

Our next-door neighbors are moving,

and they were kind enough to let us have this.

They're leaving? But the gentleman there... was aging so beautifully...

Apparently they've bought a house in the suburbs.

Don't tell me those cowards have fallen for the vixen's tricks!

What?! You mean she pressured them to sell?!

Man, there are lots of different types of jellyfish, huh?

Um... Would you mind staying dressed as a woman?

Aw, but it's too cold in these!

It's fine during the day, but at night I'm just freezing.

But still, your clothes are way lame.

Even I don't look good in them...

Th-Then please don't wear them.

Anyway, a "jellyfish dress"...

Let me borrow that a sec.

Okay, how about...

This... what is it? This colorful one.

We could use this jelly as the motif... and do a skirt like this...

Why?!

It's all wrong! It's all wrong!

You said that twice!

That might as well be a scyphozoan.

The jelly in this photo is a flower hat jelly, which is a hydrozoan,

so the bell is thin, thin, thin like glasswork in fact,

and the tentacles are slender, slender and extremely delicate...

beautiful like glasswork, in fact!

You totally said that twice!

The flower hat... the flower hat is...

The flower hat is like this!

I'll take one.

Huh?

Man, if I saw something like this,

I'd damn well bring it home with me, no matter how much it cost!

Look, flower hat jellies are delicate, so you can't keep them as pets...

Bath's free!

Oh, Fake-Boob Woman's still here?

She's just about to go home!

Where are we going?

My place. We're having a strategy session in my room!

Y-Your place... your house would in other words have your b-b-brother!

Oh, don't worry about him! He seems really busy lately.

He's out somewhere tonight, too.

O-Oh... I see...

And anyway, Shu thinks "Before" Tsukimi and "After" Tsukimi

are different people...

Stay in the car until I'm done speaking with my father, all right?

You only approached me to get to my father,

so I'll introduce him to you. And after that...

Please leave me alone once and for all.

So that's what you think of me...

No, uh... wait...

Very well. Go ahead.

All right.

Please wipe your face with this, quickly.

I don't want any tears or snot to get on the seats. That's real leather.

Huh? There's a car in front of the gate...

What? D-D-Don't tell me it's a b-b-brotherly sort of person?!

No, it's Hanamori and...

Who's that?

A woman?

Huh?

Who are you?

Tsukimi, it's that landshark...

...isn't it?

Oh, you're from Amamizu-kan!

Hanamori! What the hell is going on here?!

Why's she in our car?

Hanamori! Benz! Ten-yen coin! Ten-yen scrape!

She's a friend of Shu's.

I fetched them at her home and brought them both back.

She's with Shu?

Kuranosuke!

Bro... Explain this!

What are you doing with the landshark chick?

What are you doing?

Hello.

Thank you for your kindness to my son. I'm his father.

I'm pleased to meet you. Here, my card.

Yes, I know who you are.

I must apologize for my appearance, and for not offering you a seat inside,

but my son insisted that we do things this way.

It's all right...

Well? I'll just come right out and ask.

Miss Inari, have you and Shu...

...made it to home base?

Yes...

We've been united in spirit and flesh.

He ran away!

Tsukimi!

Don't believe her, Tsukimi! You can't let her fool you!

The woman's lying!

Lying?

He wouldn't have! He definitely wouldn't have!

I mean, my brother is...

a vi... vi... vi...

"Vi"?

He's... a virgin.

Vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi...

- Vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi..!

- Cut it out! - Vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi..!

A virgin, you say?

Yeah.

A... a virgin? But...

You haven't done it with him, have you?

I-I-I... -

It's okay, Tsukimi.

She only wants to trick Shu and make a monkey out of him.

We did it!

Believe it or not, I've got a rep in my neighborhood as a "virgin killer"!

In Ichikawa over in Chiba, they used to call me "Shoko the Christener"!

"Ichikawa" "Chiba Prefecture" In Ichikawa over in Chiba, they used to call me "Shoko the Christener"!

"Ichikawa" "Chiba Prefecture"

"Ichikawa" "Chiba Prefecture" You're so lying. Nobody'd make up that nickname these days.

You're so lying. Nobody'd make up that nickname these days.

This is the 21st century, you know.

I'm not lying! Fine, I'll show you, then!

Look, here's proof positive!

Tsukimi!

Mom... What should a girl do

when she's found out something she never wanted to?

What... What should she do if she sees something she never wanted to?

How... How can I erase the memories from my head?

Not only the memory of what just happened...

Erase every single memory... that has anything to do with him.

Tsukimi...

It's cold.

It's commercial time!

Clara!

It's the second half!

Tequila!

Mom... Come to think of it...

Ever since I was little, going to sleep and forgetting

about bad things that happened to me has been my specialty.

Even if something bad happened at school...

Whatcha reading, Kurashita?

Hey, what is this, a jellyfish?

Ugh, that's gross!

I'd go home by myself...

Welcome home, Tsukimi.

I'd eat Mom's curry, she'd peel me an apple for dessert,

I'd be full, and...

Gazing at a jellyfish field guide at the kotatsu,

before I knew it I'd manage to fall asleep.

I'd doze off and dream of jellyfish.

Dreams where I drifted through the sea with so many jellies...

There in the blue, blue sea... It was like I was really floating.

It was so much fun, and I felt happy...

When I woke up, somehow I was in my own bedroom.

Yeah. I'll go to sleep, like I used to.

And dream of a jellyfish-filled sea...

Tsukimi! Tsukimi! Tsukimi! Tsukimi!

Yo! Good evening!

Clara! Yay, let's swim together!

Believe it or not, I'm an expert at the butterfly stroke!

Look, here's proof!

Kuranosuke.

Look! Look at this dress!

Your papa gave it to me.

But this color makes it almost like a wedding dress, doesn't it?

I know it'll look good on you, Mama!

No. Only brides can wear those dresses.

Your mama has lots and lots of dresses,

but a wedding dress is the one dress I've never worn.

How about that, you're on to something.

You're on to something, Tsukimi!

Whoops, gotta cross-dress...

What a pain! I'll just wear the wig.

Don't scowl at me like that. All I did was tell the truth.

I... I don't...

I don't believe I've united with you in spirit.

Oh my God! I didn't see that one coming!

Listen to you, all seriously denying that!

Too funny!

The night breeze is so refreshing.

Please stop changing the subject.

At any rate, as I said, I want you to leave me alone once and for all.

Shall I let you in on a little secret you haven't figured out yet?

Excuse me?

The truth is...

You like being under the thumb of a woman like me.

What are you talking about?

If you really thought of me as a nuisance, you could just go home.

No one's forcing you to sit here drinking tea with me.

But here you are. And that's because...

Deep down, you want to have sex with me again.

Thank you for coming!

He really is a virgin... Well, damn.

Now that's a relief!

I'm sorry to have caused you worry, Mr. Prime Minister.

Oh, nonsense.

But this is a serious problem for today's society.

Thanks to the Equal Employment Opportunity Law for Men and Women,

more women are entering the job market, meaning they delay marriage...

The percentage of Japan's men who are unmarried is above 40 now.

So I'm really glad...

...that Shu's been able to cast off his virginity!

Yes. And the lady is quite seasoned; the perfect type to christen a man.

Aha! Even better!

So, what's her type? Nightclub type? Teenybopper type?

The OL type? The plain type? The dating service type?

The type who tweets everything on Twitter?

Well, the thing is... Apparently it's that redeveloper.

D-Doesn't that complicate things?

Yes, it does.

So I plan to send Shu abroad soon on a tour of inspection,

and have Hanamori investigate her while he's gone.

And there's actually one more...

One more girl I'm concerned about...

Whoa, there are two?!

Hey, like father, like son!

- You've got the womanizing gene!

- Thanks. - You've got the womanizing gene!

Oh, Prime Minister, I didn't know you were here.

"Ba-dum..." Oh, Prime Minister, I didn't know you were here.

"Ba-dum..." Shu-Shu, there's something different about you today!

Shu-Shu, there's something different about you today!

Did you climb the stairway to adulthood?

Excuse me?

I can't sleep.

When I squeeze my eyes shut and try to fall asleep,

everything I saw just keeps playing like a slideshow behind my eyelids...

It hurts so, so much, and I can't sleep!

"Ms. Mejiro, what should I do if I want to sleep but I can't?" It hurts so, so much, and I can't sleep!

"Ms. Mejiro, what should I do if I want to sleep but I can't?"

I humbly request your decree!

"Booze."

A lock picker?!

Lock! Picker! Lock picker lock!

What, a thief? Leave it to me, man!

Oho! What's your secret plan?

The only alcohol we have is cooking wine.

Oh, well. Maybe I'll go to the convenience store...

A woman's voice!

Tsukimi?!

Tsukimi, you fool, how dare you burgle us!

I raised you better than that!

N-N-N-No! I just w-w-wanted a drink!

A drink?! So alcohol drove you to this dark deed?!

And you're underage, too! That's a serious matter in its own right!

I-I'm sorry! It's just that I can't sleep,

and I thought maybe drinking a little would help!

What?! Well, why didn't you say so?!

"Kantei" What?! Well, why didn't you say so?!

"Kantei"

"Kantei" Here, drink up!

Here, drink up!

Guan Yu's spirit may dwell within this lettering! It is a precious gift!

But though it comes in a bottle of that magnificent Shaoxing wine,

the sake inside is just some sweet sake from our cowardly neighbors...

In that case, no need to hesitate!

Okay, try one glass for starters.

Look at her drink!

Sunk by mere sweet sake? Surely you jest!

Sweet sake's hardly even real sake!

What's all this fuss about?

Were you the ones who took my girls without permission?

E-Er, there's a profound reason for this...

Honestly! You'd better be sure to return the others as well!

Okay, okay.

Oh, Tsukimi, you shouldn't be sleeping here.

Honestly... What am I going to do with you?

Tsukimi... Tsukimi... Tsukimi... Tsukimi!

Clara?

Are you okay? Did you catch a cold?

Yeah, I think I might be a little feverish...

But that's fine, if it helps me sleep.

Because then I can forget the bad things...

What "bad things"?

Um... what were they, again?

Maybe I forgot them when I fell asleep!

Really? That's good!

Yep!

Now come swim to the East China Sea with me! Hey, come on!

Wow, it's a brood of Japanese sea nettles! Look how many there are!

Japanese sea nettles are highly poisonous. Be careful, Tsukimi!

Right!

So pretty... Like a princess's dresses!

Huh? I feel warm, somehow... and like my body is floating...

I feel really good, somehow!

Oh, I see.

Mom is picking me up and carrying me to bed.

Mom...

Jeez, you're heavy.

I really want you to realize that you're gorgeous

Why haven't you realized it before this?

It's like you've lost your heart

I want you to realize it right away, right away, I want you to understand

I want you to realize it right away, I want you to realize your beauty

Because you're so very beautiful

I want to convey that to you

Your loveliness, forever and ever

I'll be so happy if you'll just realize your loveliness

I care about you, you know

Please, realize your beauty
