We're going in!

Does it hurt anywhere, Hime-chan?

Was it this way?

Where does she keep her mattress?

This place is way too big.

Here you go!

All right, delivered!

Here you go.

Hey, keep it down!

I got it!

Don't worry, Ao. My nose is running just because it wanted to get some exercise.

Very funny.

I don't have a fever or feel tired,

so I probably wouldn't rest if it was quiet anyway.

You know what they say. "Too much light makes the baby go blind."

Right...

Hime, why are you sitting up?!

Ao, hold her down!

Aye-aye!

Nice.

Hey, you're heavy.

Where are you going, Kotoha-chan?

To do some shopping.

Her fridge is pretty much empty.

Want me to come with you?

Actually, maybe the noisy bunch over there should.

Nah, I'm good.

I'll get there by jumping, a la Hime.

Take care!

I'll be fine!

Whoa, what are you two doing?! Wait!

Kotoha-chan... fell.

She'll be fine.

Yeah, I know.

You should worry about yourself for now, Hime.

You have practice tomorrow, remember?

Oh right! Gotta fight this off, then.

You're still on the lacrosse team?

Yeah, only on Saturdays though.

But doesn't how strong you are make things unfair?

Well...

I'm bored.

Being in a club sounds fun.

Wanna wrestle?

No! You're always too rough.

Ao, what're your plans for high school?

Me? Take this!

Me? I—

Hey!

Hime-chan's trying to rest here!

Take your pro wrestling match somewhere else!

W-We're sorry!

I don't think I'll go to high school.

The office is my main priority right now.

Not this year, at least.

It's gonna be tough for both the town and the office.

I wanna help Akina as much as possible.

And... there's Gin too, huh?

Yeah.

Before he left, my brother asked Akina-san to take care of me,

but I shouldn't always just depend on him.

Akina-san's also a lot like a brother to me,

so I wanna help him, even if it's just a little.

I see.

Once this dimension-fusion mess is over, then.

Yeah, I'll go to high school then.

It'd be awkward if I were in the same grade as my brother when he returns.

But I've come up with a solution.

I'm a woman of foresight!

All right, nothing to worry about then.

I do worry about you, though.

Me? Why?

I think the townspeople count on you too much just because you're the mayor.

You're very busy with your duties as both a student and a mayor,

so you can't take part in your club as much as you want.

You're a 16-year-old high schooler only once.

Is this really right?

I think it is.

Geez, you loudmouths!

Go do your homework at home!

It's okay, Ao! A bit rowdy is fine.

Your arm's just as thin as mine.

You've always got bruises all over you too.

This sounds so wrong!

I'm telling you, it's fine!

Ao's so kind.

Will a little groping convince you?

Inoriko, let me grope you!

No, no, no, no...

Hime-chan's finally getting some rest,

so if all you're gonna do is make a racket, get out!

That's a first.

Ao blew her top.

Y-Yeah, I guess we've been too loud.

Let's clean up.

We'll get it.

She's so kind.

We were too noisy.

No excuses there.

We should apologize properly.

Hello, who's—

Hime, it's Vice-Principal Uzu.

Excuse me.

Oh my...

Don't get up.

We heard you got sick. Although it's not much, I hope this will aid your recovery.

Oh, thank you.

I wonder why he's here.

He's the vice-principal, but coming just for Hime...

Today, I'm here as an elder.

Members of the Yarizakura family have been the mayors of Sakura Newtown for generations.

But there is a clear difference between you and your predecessors, Yarizakura Hime.

You are too young.

So there may be a larger toll on your body than you think.

You have your physical limits as well.

Th-That's not it! It's just the change of seas—

Hime-chan!

I'm here to represent the elders, so I'll get to the point.

Mayor of Sakura Newtown, Yarizakura Hime...

We propose that you resign.

No! I can do it!

The job of the mayor is not one you choose. It is something you are entrusted with.

By the townspeople, of course.

So I'm not doing a good job as mayor?

As far as we can see, you are not suited for the duty.

However, due to this town's unique situation, the elders have no control over its personnel.

We do not have the right to remove you.

We would prefer if you voluntarily resi—

There's not a chan—

As far as you can see? Then look harder!

We've been watching her since we were kids!

Remove Hime? Name one person in this town who thinks that's a good idea!

I am a messenger for the elders. I merely informed her of our official position.

Get off me.

Speaking for myself and as your vice-principal, I think you do a great job.

Forgive my earlier discourtesy.

See, you get it, vice-principal!

Please, raise your head.

I'll admit that I have my shortcomings.

And you know, "Too much light makes the baby go blind."

Right.

Sorry for disturbing. Please rest well.

Of course. Thank you.

Sawaki, Amano.

Come to my office tomorrow.

Oh right, Hime.

We took care of your homework. Just be sure to review it.

Th-Thanks.

Ah, vice-principal. And you girls.

What's going on?

I'm sure they weren't offended.

But still...

Hime-chan!

We picked up some medicine from Juri-san.

Touka! Kotoha!

I bought some food too, so let's eat together.

I'll let you try my secret recipe noodles.

Yay! Noodles!

So, Ao...

Sure, I only get to be a high schooler once,

but this is also my only chance at being mayor.

So I have no regrets, and I'm not really overexerting myself.

And you said that everyone depends on me too much,

but I think I'm depending on all of you even more.

Just look at how many people help me.

nante suteki na kyou wo mitsuketan darou

We've found such a wonderful today

tokei no hari wa heitan ni susumu no ni

Even though the hands of the clock move as usual

Including you, Ao.

kyou ni dake shika nai ippai no koe ya

So many voices we can only hear today

Man, all that shopping wore me out.

Touka, why don't you cook something?

ippai no egao machi ni afureta yo ne

So many smiles all over the town

I can't! I've never cooked for so many people!

Akina-san?

dareka ni hanashitai shiawase wakachitai

I wanna talk to someone and share this happiness

I'm already making the noodles.

What about you?

Can't cook!

I guess that means we're eating this stuff raw.

kono mama nee owaritakunai na

I don't, I really don't want it to end

Kotoha-chan, you have to at least cook pork!

shunkan wa tomarenai shashin ja monotarinai

But time won't stop and photos aren't enough

Come on, Ao. "Too much light makes the baby go blind."

You keep saying that, but what exactly is that?

dousureba ii no ka na nante

What should I do? I wonder

An idiom I came up with.

You can't just make those up yourself!

wagamama bakka icchau keredo

I know I'm being selfish

Well I'm gonna make it a thing!

sonna omoi mo zenbu atsumete

But let's gather all these feelings

Sorry!

ima dake no uta ni noseyou yo

And make a song out of them

We're so hungry!

Pretty please!

Please, save us, Ao!

bokura wo terashita yuuhi ga shizumu yo

The setting sun's last rays shine on us

Sure thing!

tanoshii jikan mo hitomazu owakare

Even this fun time is nearing its end

Let's hop to it!

Um...

You still need to pay.

When did you...

kono machi no mannaka de

In the middle of this town

A ghost?

I saw it floating around!

Did Kana see it too?

No, I didn't.

Kana was just spacing out.

A ghost, huh?

As dæmons, it shouldn't seem so strange to us.

I'll ask Yae-san about it though.

These check-ups are a drag.

We're fine already.

The accident with Touka happened a while ago.

I'm feeling fine too.

It's just to be on the safe side.

We should be thankful that Juri-san is going through all this trouble.

I guess it's unavoidable.

You have a hard time turning down Juri, after all.

Well, she is like a big sister to me.

Looking after me and all...

Okay, we're here.

Hello!

Juri-san, we're here.

Juri-san?

Man, and she was the one who called us over!

Should I wake her up?

Let's let her sleep a bit longer.

Whoa, she ate it.

She's so defenseless.

Juri-san eats even more than I do.

I'll give her another one.

And yet she has a great figure. I'm jealous.

Stop it!

This is Japan.

I don't understand anyone.

A child?

How's that?

I came to pick you up,

Frankenstein's descendant.

I see.

She's rather mature.

Brother!

She's here! Let's go!

Okay.

Well now, aren't you cute?

Right, Mariabelle?

Nice to meet you.

He seems too casual.

And the woman's rather sulky.

The adults in this country are also...

Oh, that looks heavy.

Please don't treat me like a child.

You say that, but I don't see what the problem is.

Ow...

Serves you right.

Adults are...

It's unbearably hot.

Say, why did you want to come to Japan?

In Japan—in this town—I'll be able to meet my ancestor's descendants.

Dr. Frankenstein?

He's an amazing person!

He's an amazing person.

Well then, we'll head to the mayor's place first.

That can wait. I want to head to the clinic.

It won't take long, so let's greet the mayor.

You don't know when you'll be needing her help, after all.

Treating me like a child again...

I want to hurry and grow up.

Grow up?

You're a kid, so don't you feel the same way?

I... Oh, never mind.

I want a louder voice.

A child's voice is often ignored, after all.

A louder voice?

That's easy!

That's not what I meant.

Not that kind of loud.

We're here.

Oh?

She's the one you told me about?

Welcome.

She's tall.

No, that's not it.

What is it?

Are you all right?

Did the district mayor do anything strange?

He did.

Hey, Mariabelle...

But this girl's really strong, you know.

She sent him flying!

Oh?

That's perfect then.

Now then, punish the district mayor as much as you please.

Then there'll be no grudges afterwards, understood?

I doubt that would actually—

You slippery little...

Oh me, oh my...

But you know...

I'm a feminist. Got that?

Stupid Brother.

Adults are...

It seems you're burdened by something.

Could you spar me as well?

Quickly...

I have to grow up quickly!

Why are you in such a rush?

Because I'd have a louder voice.

A child's voice is simply drowned out by an adult's.

It's what happened to my ancestor.

Dr. Frankenstein, you mean?

Long ago, when an epidemic ravaged our hometown,

my ancestor went as far as turning his own daughter immortal in order to save the town.

Despite that, he was scorned as a criminal who turned to human experimentation.

Scorned by loud-mouthed adults...

That's why I want to become an adult and tell everyone with a loud voice:

"My grandfather—my great, great, great, great, great grandfather—was in no way mistaken!"

But I can't do that as a child!

So that adults can't hurt me like this...

I want to grow up quickly.

Yarizakura Dojo

What I've demonstrated is Aikido.

It's a martial art that parries using the opponent's strength.

What's hurting you is nothing more than your own strength.

You're in pain because you hate adults.

At the same time, you long to be an adult.

Adults, indeed, are privilege to loud voices.

However...

While adults can't become children, children can become adults.

That's why you should aspire to become an adult who has a small but clear voice.

It's time.

Show her the way, Yae.

Roger that.

Don't worry.

I'll take her.

Those events occurred hundreds of years ago, so of course, I didn't know the doctor.

His descendants have inherited the clinic he opened in this town for generations.

You can let me down.

We're here.

It happened when I was a child, so it's already been several decades.

Look here.

He was a very kind doctor.

He wasn't blessed with children, and due to various other reasons, he lacked a successor—

But he doesn't.

I'm here, after all.

Though I'm still a child, I'll study more and more and become a respectable doctor.

I'll be just like my ancestor.

That's a good girl.

Still...

You can take your time.

Here, come on over.

Well then, she can be your older sister starting today.

Sister?

Do you have any siblings, like a little sister, back home?

A little sister?

Little sister...

Onee-sama!

Takoyaki...

Oh, Juri-san.

Hm? Was it tasty?

Wow, I didn't even notice that I was falling asleep.

Juri-san ate an entire box by herself in the end.

You just went too far, Mina.

Oh, the ghost! The ghost!

Where?!

I don't see anything.

H-Huh?

Honestly, a ghost? How rude.

Maybe I should make my appearance one that'll haunt them.

I was wondering what a family's like.

I hate you, Onee-chan!

One little sister is plenty.
