Original subtitles

Chino-chan, you have to eat your celery, even if you don't like it.

Says the one who didn't even touch her tomato juice.

But you're picky about a lot more foods than I am.

You have to make yourself eat them, or you won't grow.

No need to worry.

By the time I'm your age, I'll be taller than you.

Really?

But you're always carrying Tippy around on your head.

Will you really be able to grow taller?

Is your heart hop-hopping in anticipation?

I pretend I'm lost in thought,

so go on, come a bit closer.

It won't be that easy to get me to say it.

I love you so much,

but it's a secret.

Cute and cuddly, heart is fluttery, it's a secret.

Make your first impression count. I'm not patient!

Cute and cuddly, heart is fluttery, it's a secret, I say.

With a teasing smile, I hop-hop.

I opened the door to find an unfamiliar world before me.

Don't be silly.

That's impossible!

But it just might be.

A milk-colored world!

When I gazed into my coffee cup,

there I was, looking back at myself.

Why's that?

Why's that?

There's two of me!

No way!

Oh dear, that won't do.

I'm sure

our interests would match,

you see.

Who is it

that I'm looking at? You of course!

You're the only one in my eyes.

This is a dream,

a dream in a cup.

When we drink it dry, will it end?

We can hop-hop all we want.

Let's look for adventure

and let loose a bit more.

With a hop-hop!

It's so wonderful when we're together!

I want to hear you say it.

Just say it!

Is your heart hop-hopping in anticipation?

I pretend I'm lost in thought,

so go on, come a bit closer.

With a hop-hop!

It won't be that easy to get me to say it.

I love you so much,

Oh so much, much, much!

but it's a secret.

Good morning!

Morning, Chino.

Good morning, Chino-chan.

Maya-san. Megu-san.

Did you really miss us that much over vacation?

You big softy!

That's so cute!

Time to eat.

Chino is...

...eating celery!

Hopefully being less picky will help me grow taller.

That's why you gotta eat lots and sleep lots!

I'm so proud of you, Chino-chan!

My parents keep saying I need to sleep more or I'll be a munchkin forever.

There's someone I know who sleeps quite a lot.

You mean the girl at your café who has a really nice figure?

I guess sleeping really does help.

Didn't get enough sleep.

It's a perfect day for an afternoon nap.

Can't have caffeine...

Maybe not as much as you think.

Oh?

Well, if sleeping's not the trick...

I heard that jumping makes you taller!

They say bananas are good, too.

Jumping... Bananas...

Jumping...

Maybe something fun happened to her today.

How delightful!

Skipping might not have enough of an effect.

I'll try only hopping on red cobblestones until I get home.

The heat must be getting to Chino-chan!

The heat!

Bananas...

Discount hour starts in ten minutes.

So, bean sprouts first...

Oh right, and fish is on sale too.

I can get three onions for 100 yen and half a head of cabbage for 50.

That makes 1150 yen so far, so...

All right!

I can stay within my 1500 yen budget!

Sharo-san?

So even a rich lady like you shops at the supermarket?

Oh, well...

What do I do? The sale is about to start...

Is something the matter?

Uh-oh. I need some excuse...

U-Um...

Th-There!

I want to buy that, but it's just out of my reach.

The two of us face the same struggle.

What's this?

Some new training regimen?

Here.

R-Rize-senpai!

Rize-san, what a coincidence.

I saw you two training as I passed by.

Was that some kind of survival scenario?

We were just shopping.

I'm so glad I'm short!

Fancy Turtle Broth

Turtle broth? You've got sophisticated taste.

Here, Chino-chan!

A celery roll!

Have some tomato juice!

Let's show those veggies who's boss, Chino-chan!

Right!

Ready, set...

Wh-What happened?

What enemy did this to you?

Tomato juice.

Celery.

Vegetables?

We were trying to cure our pickiness.

You won't grow if you refuse to eat certain foods.

Do you want to grow bigger?

I see.

A louder voice can give you a bigger presence.

So it's an illusion?

Go on, give it a shot.

Welcome!

W-Welcome...

Not loud enough!

Welc...

No!

Welc...

Project your voice!

Welcome!

Wel—

Welcome!

Wel—

Welcome!

Wel—

Welcome!

Chino-chan's not doing so "well"...

'Ey welcome!

Rize-chan!

Welcome...

I think I'll stick to the slow-and-steady route.

We'll get used to those veggies if we keep at it!

I'll eat lots and sleep lots,

and at the very least I'll grow taller than Cocoa-san.

Then Cocoa would end up being the cuddlee instead of the cuddler.

I wouldn't mind that either.

Don't worry. I'm not the touchy-feely type.

Don't grow up, Chino-chan!

Don't eat! Don't sleep!

Don't be ridiculous!

You have a new message

Later Open

Inbox To Cocoa-chan Chiya-chan I think the heat's getting to Chino-chan! Make sure she's getting enough sleep and nutrients!

It's a message from Chiya-chan.

I think the heat's getting to Chino-chan!

Make sure she's getting enough sleep and nutrients!

Chino-chan!

Yes?

You have to eat nutritious food and get plenty of sleep!

So which is it?

What's Chino-chan doing?

Coffee fortune-telling.

Her fortunes are uncannily accurate.

Not many dare to challenge my uncannily accurate weather forecasting!

Since when was it a contest?

So how do you do this coffee fortune-telling?

The process itself is quite simple.

First, drain your coffee.

Next, invert the cup onto the saucer.

You read your fortune in the pattern left on the bottom of the cup.

That's coffee fortune-telling, or cafédomancie.

My grandfather's cafédomancie was famous for being frighteningly accurate.

I'm only accurate with cappuccinos.

That's plenty impressive!

I wanna try too!

Hup-hup.

Chino-chan...

I see rabbits falling from the sky in your future.

It doesn't look that way to me.

That would be wonderful, though.

Rize-chan...

I see lots of coins in your future!

Maybe your luck with money is improving!

Perhaps I can buy those things I've been wanting.

Tippy...

All eyes will be on your sexy new look!

What is it, Tippy?

I think she wants to read some fortunes too.

Let's see whose end up being more accurate!

Your fortune for tomorrow, Cocoa...

I see raindrops.

Or polka dots, perhaps?

Quite frankly, you'd be better off staying inside.

So she says.

That was your fortune.

Let's take a look at Rize's.

You'll go on to become a lovely, supportive wife.

Who, me? Come on...

You snuck into the kitchen after dinner yesterday, not satisfied with one slice of tiramisu.

The truth is, you're quite needy.

Praise tends to go to your head.

You prefer to avoid or ignore problems.

Stupid fuzzball!

What is this, a personality assessment?!

Looks like it was spot on.

Our tests are coming up.

I haven't studied at all!

Cafédomancer?

Is that like a necromancer?

Chiya-chan, why do you know so much about these things?

It's called cafédomancie.

I'm sorry.

Speaking of fortune-telling, I can read palms.

Really?

Do mine!

Your lines...

reveal a hidden, devilish nature.

Devilish?!

Actually, so do mine!

We match!

Devilish?

Your lunch looks delicious!

Really?

I made it myself, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

The eggs in particular are fried just—

Oh my.

I'm sorry, Cocoa-chan.

Anko's always getting carried off by crows.

It's fine.

I always wanted to try the school's croquette sandwiches.

Cocoa-chan!

C-Cocoa-chan!

You were flash... flash...

Yep! I caught it, quick as a flash!

N-Not that!

It probably happened when you went to the bathroom before lunch.

Your...

Your polka-dot-patterned...

I feel like today's just not my lucky day.

We all get days like that.

I'm sorry! I lost my grip on the watering can!

C-Cocoa-chan...

Thank goodness Anko didn't get wet!

Cocoa-chan!

Thanks, Chiya-chan.

I should be thanking you.

I don't want to call this a "reward",

but do you want to stop by Sharo-chan's café?

It'll be my treat.

Really? Yay!

How could you bring that abomination in here?!

Stop! Keep it away from me!

Oh no!

She can even feel my cursed aura!

Anko used to bite her a lot when we were young,

so she's a bit wary of him.

Phew, she was talking about Anko?

I don't think this counts as "a bit"!

Here's your order.

Yay!

This guy just had to come.

Today is not my lucky day.

Not... lucky...

She was finally starting to forget what happened,

but you had to go and mention luck!

I don't really get it, but I don't wanna deal with this.

Here's your change.

Wh-What?

Let me read your palm, Sharo-chan.

Let's see...

Your lines show unrequited love, and what's more, the other person hasn't a clue!

Fate was not kind to you.

Also, your luck with money is abys—

That's enough, you dummy!

Chino-chan! Rize-chan!

Did my predictions for you come true today?

No, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Really?

Today, first Anko fell on me,

then my skirt got hiked up,

then Sharo-chan threw change at me.

It was a doozy of a day!

Looks like Tippy wins the fortune-telling contest.

Um, what's wrong, you two?

You probably shouldn't tell any more fortunes.

For your own good.

Why?!

Hop Your Lucky Items Are. . Vegetables, Crime, and Punishment.

Wow! This library is huge!

And here I was wondering where you were dragging me to.

That spot looks good.

Yeah! And it has a great view!

I thought you were here to study.

What are you here for, Chino-chan?

There's a book I read as a child that I want to reread.

But I can't remember the title.

Do you remember what it was about?

Um...

A rabbit who wanted to be a hero tried to teach an evil rabbit a lesson,

but an innocent rabbit got involved and things got complicated.

Then another rabbit showed up who was out to get the main character,

they fought and stuff in the middle,

and then in the end, the two of them...

She remembers it so well,

and yet she wants to reread it.

Oh yeah, Chino-chan, didn't you mention your tests were coming up?

In that case, why don't you ask Sharo-chan for help?

Sharo-san?

That's right.

She's so gifted that she got into her school on a full scholarship!

Wow!

She's got beauty and brains!

Not a single fault to be found.

Such blinding greatness!

Th-That's not...

And to top it off, she's rich, too.

The very image of perfection.

I can't bear to look!

All right. I'm all ears, Cocoa-chan.

Okay!

Huh? I thought you were tutoring her.

No, no.

I'm the one who asked for help.

You've got to be joking!

I'm pretty good at math and physics!

Then couldn't Cocoa have tutored Chino-chan instead?

But overall, my grades are only average.

Are some subjects bringing you down?

Look.

Japanese English History

Your humanities are a lost cause!

Even though I read so much...

Cocoa-san's teaching methods are not the sort I'd rely on.

Huh?

Really?

But she's so easy to understand.

That's because you two are on the same wavelength.

Like two peas in a pod!

Yeah!

Let's ignore them and start studying, Chino-chan.

Okay.

For this question, plug in the answer from the previous one.

It's so clear when you explain it, Sharo-san!

I'm glad to hear that!

If I had a younger sister like you, I wouldn't mind tutoring her every day.

And I wish I had an older sister like you.

I've been replaced!

No shouting in the library.

Chino-chan, would you rather go to our or Sharo-chan's school in the future?

I think you'd look great in a sailor uniform!

She'd be much cuter in a blazer.

I think a hakama would be lovely!

Isn't that a bit old-fashioned?

Maybe not the hakama, but I do have to decide soon.

It's difficult, though.

Decisions about your future always are.

The future, huh?

I'd like to become a baker, or maybe a lawyer.

Compendium of Laws

I'm Cocoa,

the neighborhood international lawyer!

Something's wrong with that image!

Wait, that's not quite right.

Let me redo that.

I'm Cocoa,

the neighborhood international lawyer!

I didn't mean your proportions!

That's a fine dream, Cocoa-chan.

What's yours?

Mine?

I'd like to work hard to make Amausa even more successful.

Mine is similar.

I want to take over the family business and become a first-rate barista.

Barista is a cool job too.

I have no doubt you'll succeed.

I'd like to achieve financial stability before anything else.

I've got it!

I'm gonna be the neighborhood international barista lawyer!

Give the "neighborhood international" part a break.

Where could that book of yours be?

It's like a needle in a haystack here.

Hero... Evil...

I think I figured out the title of the book!

R-Really?

I hadn't realized until now,

but we might have the same taste in literature!

I wonder what it would've been like if I'd enrolled in the same school as you guys.

Do you regret choosing your current school?

If only...

If only I were in the same grade as Rize-senpai...

She really does.

In all honesty, it sounds stifling,

having to attend an elite school because they waived your tuition.

I'd be exhausted trying to keep up appearances around all those rich girls.

But wait a minute.

If you had gone to our school...

If I had?

Cocoa-chan and I might've been placed in different classes!

That simply wouldn't do!

Just kidding.

S-Stop teasing me like that!

But you know you're fretting over nothing.

We're still seeing each other outside of school, aren't we?

Even after we grow up, we'll always be together.

Right...

It should be around here.

Found it!

We did it.

Am I more like a reliable big sister now?

Cocoa-san...

Aren't you glad we found it?

Cocoa-san...

Crime and Punishment

This isn't it.
