Give it back ~na no! [ 3:21] Suiseiseki: No way! This is now one of Suiseiseki's things ~desu! [ 3:22] [Footsteps stop.] [ 3:25] [Shoving sounds.] [ 3:25] Hinaichigo: Hey, Jun! [ 3:26] Jun: [Groaning.] [ 3:26] Hinaichigo: Hey, Suiseiseki took...! [ 3:29] Suiseiseki: Jun! Don't let her fool you ~desu. [ 3:30] Jun: [Groaning.] [ 3:30] [Thumping sounds.] [ 3:31] Suiseiseki: Puny-Ichigo is a loser. And losers need no such thing as pity ~desu! [ 3:36] Hinaichigo and Suiseiseki: Juuun~! [ 3:38] Jun: Ahh geez, don't drag me into this! [ 3:40] [Shoving sound.] [ 3:40] Suiseiseki and Hinaichigo: [Yelling.] [ 3:42] Hinaichigo: Wahh, Jun got mad~! [ 3:44] Suiseiseki: Humans really are barbarians! Delicate little Suiseiseki is going to be eaten up by him ~desu! [ 3:51] Jun: Y-you guys, cut it-! [ 3:53] Shinku: Cut it out! [ 3:55] Jun, Suiseiseki, and Hinaichigo: What...? [ 3:56] [Footsteps.] [ 3:57] Shinku: Honestly... I can't even read my book in peace! ... Oh? [ 4:02] Jun: Hm? [ 4:02] Hinaichigo: Hweh? [ 4:03] [Music starts.] [ 4:03] [Footsteps.] [ 4:06] Shinku: Hinaichigo. How many times must I tell you, you must not cross this line? Now tidy up this place at once! [ 4:14] Hinaichigo: [Whimpering.] Uh... uh-huh, alright~! [ 4:17] [Running footsteps.] [ 4:19] Suiseiseki: [Cackle.] It's because you always behave so slovenly that this happens ~desu! [ 4:24] Shinku: Are you in any position to laugh at her, Suiseiseki? You tidy it up, as well. [ 4:28] Suiseiseki: Huh? W-why should I ~desu? Suiseiseki- [ 4:32] Shinku You also made a mess of this room, did you not? [ 4:35] Suiseiseki: [Whimper.] A... alright ~desu... [ 4:40] [Rummaging around.] [ 4:42] Suiseiseki: [Grumbling.] Honestly! It's Puny-Ichigo's fault that this ridiculous quarrel happened ~desu! [ 4:48] Hinaichigo: There... there... [ 4:50] Suiseiseki: Heeere, Puny-Ichigo. Tidy this up, too ~desu. [ 4:54] Hinaichigo: [Sigh.] Suiseiseki, you've got to help too~! [ 4:57] Suiseiseki: I told you, for a while now I've properly been providing you with my moral support ~desu! [ 5:01] Hinaichigo: All you do is talk ~na no! Suiseiseki, you've got to clean up too like you should, or you're gonna get in trouble ~na no! [ 5:06] Suiseiseki: I don't wanna ~desu! If I do, then my clothes will get all dirty. [ 5:09] Hinaichigo: That's mean~! [ 5:12] Jun: ... [Sigh.] At last things have calmed down. Well then, where was I? ... [ 5:16] Shinku: Jun? [ 5:17] Jun: Huh? What? [ 5:18] Shinku: The origin of all of this, if I may mention it, is that you are not firm enough with them. Reflect on your conduct, please. [ 5:23] Jun: W-why me?! [ 5:25] Shinku: Is it not natural that a servant should endeavor to create a pleasant environment for his mistress? [ 5:29] Jun: Hah? [ 5:30] Shinku: Honestly... When one has a useless servant, it causes one such hardship. [ 5:34] Jun: Wha-?! [ 5:35] [Running footsteps.] [ 5:35] Hinaichigo: We're done tidying up~! [ 5:37] Shinku: My, that was fast. [ 5:39] Suiseiseki: Good grief, after all I ended up being made to help her ~desu! Thanks to that, my clothes got all dirty ~desu. [ 5:46] Shinku: Oh? [ 5:47] [Footsteps.] [ 5:49] Shinku: Excuse me, you two. [ 5:51] [Wipe.] [ 5:52] Shinku: What might this be? [ 5:53] Hinaichigo: Hweh? [ 5:54] Shinku: I'm asking you what this is on my fingertip. [ 6:00] Suiseiseki: It's... dust, isn't it? [ 6:03] Shinku: [Fuming.] Have I not constantly told you that you must sweep the floor properly when you clean?! [ 6:07] Suiseiseki and Hinaichigo: Ehhh~! [ 6:09] Shinku: Honestly! Just whose room do you think this is?! [ 6:12] Jun: It's my room!! [ 6:13] [Music stops.] ... [ 6:18] Hinaichigo: [Sigh.] [ 6:22] Suiseiseki: [Sigh.] I... I'm exhausted ~desu... [ 6:27] Shinku: Hmph. Well, I might give it a barely passing grade, I suppose. [ 6:31] Suiseiseki: Whaaa~?! Please, give me a break ~desu! [ 6:36] Hinaichigo: I can't move another inch~! [ 6:38] [Window sliding open.] [ 6:40] Souseiseki: Hello! ... O-oh? What happened, you two? [ 6:45] [Window sliding closed.] [ 6:45] [Music starts.] [ 6:45] Suiseiseki: Souseiseki~! If you were gonna come over, you should have gotten here sooner ~desu! [ 6:50] [Footsteps.] [ 6:51] Hinaichigo: I don't wanna clean any more ~na no! [ 6:54] Shinku: Messes that you make yourself, you should clean up yourself. That's all I'm saying. [ 6:58] Souseiseki: Hmm, I see... So Suiseiseki and Hinaichigo were creating a loud nuisance of themselves, which ended up interfering with Shinku, who was reading. Then, Shinku got angry and made them clean up the room thoroughly, bringing them to their current state of total exhaustion... [ 7:20] Suiseiseki: Whaa-?! [ 7:22] Souseiseki: Furthermore, as for Jun-kun, hmm... Judging from his absence, it would seem that he fled for fear of getting dragged into the affair. There are no note-taking things or textbooks on his desk, so... I surmise he went out headed for the library? [ 7:40] Suiseiseki: Souseiseki, were you watching ~desu?! [ 7:43] Hinaichigo: Awesome! You got it all right! You're like Kunkun ~na no! [ 7:47] Souseiseki: No, well, it's the usual pattern, for one thing, and I don't think it's that big of a deal. [ 7:53] Shinku: All it means is that you lack even that much ability to learn. [ 7:57] Suiseiseki: Ugh... [ 7:58] Hinaichigo: Shinku's being mean to me, too ~na no... [ 8:02] Suiseiseki: Ho... What's with that "too"? [ 8:07] Hinaichigo: Nooo! Help me, Souseiseki~! [ 8:09] Souseiseki: [Laughter.] [ 8:11] Nori: [Calling from downstairs:] Everyone~! It's snack time~! [ 8:14] Hinaichigo: Ah? [ 8:15] [Standing up.] [ 8:15] Hinaichigo: Yayyy! Snacks ~na no! [ 8:16] [Running footsteps.] [ 8:17] [Music stops.] [ 8:18] Suiseiseki: And to think, up until a minute ago she'd been saying "I can't move another inch"! What a simpleton ~desu! [ 8:23] Souseiseki: [Chuckle.] That's so like Hinaichigo, isn't it. [ 8:26] Shinku: Well then, shall we go as well? ... [ 8:30] [Music starts.] [ 8:33] Hinaichigo: It's yummy~! [ 8:35] Souseiseki: Yeah! It's delicious! [ 8:38] Suiseiseki: Ahh~! I can't get enough of the exquisite harmony of these tart strawberries and fresh cream ~desu! [ 8:46] Nori: Really? I'm so glad you like it~! Shinku-chan, how is it? [ 8:50] Shinku: The tea is lukewarm, Nori. [ 8:52] Nori: [Whimper.] I-it was no good, again? [ 8:55] Shinku: I'd give it, perhaps 65 points? You still have much to learn. [ 9:00] Nori: [Whimper.] I'll try my best... [ 9:02] [Plate clinking.] [ 9:02] Suiseiseki: [Munching sounds.] [Slurp.] [Sigh.] Nori, don't let her get to you ~desu. Shinku's just especially critical in what she says. It was delicious enough for Suiseiseki ~desu. [ 9:20] Hinaichigo: [Through mouthful of food:] Yeah ~na no! The tea Nori made for us... [Gulp.] ... is really yummy! The strawberry cake was perfect, too ~na no! [ 9:30] Shinku: Hinaichigo. Stop talking with your mouth full. [ 9:34] Souseiseki: [Chuckle.] Well, we're being treated to this by her, so it's just proper manners to thank her for it, I'd think. [ 9:40] Suiseiseki: That's right! Anyway, if you're going to talk like that, Shinku, you should make the tea yourself ~desu. [ 9:46] Shinku: This and that having nothing to do with each other. [ 9:49] Suiseiseki: ... Ha-ha~? Shinku, could that mean... [ 9:52] Shinku: What? [ 9:54] Suiseiseki: You aren't capable of making tea yourself, are you ~desu! [ 9:58] Shinku: ... That's not true. [10:00] Suiseiseki: Oh really? But, we've never seen Shinku making tea or cooking, have we? [10:07] Hinaichigo: That's right ~na no... [10:08] Shinku: W-well, how about yourself, then, Suiseiseki? [10:12] Suiseiseki: Cooking is Suiseiseki's specialty. [10:14] Souseiseki: Yeah. In particular, the sweets that Suiseiseki makes. They're exquisite! [10:18] Nori: Now that you mention it, we've made them together before earlier, haven't we? Suiseiseki-chan, you're an excellent cook! [10:25] Hinaichigo: Wow! Suiseiseki is awesome~! [10:29] Shinku: [Grunt.] ... O-oh my, look at the time. Kunkun is going to start. [10:36] [Music stops.] [10:36] [Footsteps.] [10:37] Nori: Oh, Shinku-chan? You've still got some cake left... [10:41] Hinaichigo: She's gone... [10:43] Suiseiseki: She ran away. [10:45] Souseiseki: She ran away... TRACK 2 - LOVERS' TERMS [ 0:00] [Kunkun theme music starts.] [ 0:03] Hinaichigo: It was an awesome one again today~! [ 0:05] Suiseiseki: But, that mysterious vixen thief - I don't like how she's trying to seduce Kunkun ~desu! [ 0:11] Shinku: It will be all right, Suiseiseki. Kunkun would never allow himself to be fooled by a disgusting woman like that! [ 0:17] Souseiseki: Yeah! I can't wait for the next episode! [ 0:21] Kunkun: Hi there! It's me - Kunkun! Today I'm going to read another one of the fan letters that you've all sent in! Well, this one that I'm going to read is from a friend with the pen-name "Fujita-san" from Tokyo. Ah, "I always enjoy watching your show". Oh, thanks! "This time, I have a question for you, Kunkun". Uh-huh. "Kunkun, what type of woman do you like?" ...?! [ 0:48] Shinku, Suiseiseki, and Souseiseki: Eh-?!! [ 0:49] Hinaichigo: Hweh? [ 0:50] Kunkun: "If you would, please tell me what is your ideal type of woman". ... I see! [ 0:57] Shinku: K... Kunkun's...?! [ 0:59] Suiseiseki: Ideal type...? [ 1:00] Souseiseki: Of woman, he asks?! [ 1:02] Hinaichigo: What's "ideal type of woman" mean? [ 1:05] Kunkun: Hmm... Well, let's see... [ 1:08] Hinaichigo: Hey, Shinku...! [ 1:09] Shinku: Shhh-! Be quiet! [ 1:11] Suiseiseki: Shut up ~desu! [ 1:12] Kunkun: Of course, that would be...! [ 1:14] Shinku, Suiseiseki, and Souseiseki: [Gulp.] [ 1:16] Kunkun: Someone who is ladylike... [ 1:18] Shinku, Suiseiseki, and Souseiseki: Uh-huh...! [ 1:19] Kunkun: And modest... [ 1:20] Shinku, Suiseiseki, and Souseiseki: Uh-huh, uh-huh...! [ 1:22] Kunkun: Someone who is a good cook... [ 1:24] Suiseiseki: Ahhh-! Without a doubt, he's describing Suiseiseki~desu! [ 1:27] Shinku: Hold on a minute! The "good cook" part is the only thing that you've got, isn't it?! [ 1:31] Suiseiseki: What are you saying ~desu?! Ladylike, modest, lovely, and elegant... Without a doubt, he's describing Suiseiseki ~desu! [ 1:38] Souseiseki: No, you're adding on things... [ 1:40] Kunkun: And also...! [ 1:42] Shinku, Suiseiseki, and Souseiseki: [Panting.] [ 1:43] Kunkun: Someone who is especially good at cleaning and doing laundry, at looking after people's needs and enjoys helping them, and who takes the lead in performing chores that others find unpleasant. I'd love a woman like that! [ 1:52] Hinaichigo: Hweh...! [ 1:54] Suiseiseki: [Grunt.] That's setting the hurdle rather high, isn't it... [ 1:59] Souseiseki: Yeah. As expected of Kunkun. [ 2:02] Shinku: [Breathing shakily.] [ 2:03] Kunkun: Also... [ 2:04] Suiseiseki: Th... there's more ~desu?! [ 2:07] Kunkun: On the other hand, I don't care for women who are self-centered, or hot-tempered, or who quickly resort to violence...! ... Everyone, you watch out for them too, okay? Well then, see you all again next weeKunkun! [ 2:28] [Kunkun theme music stops.] [ 2:28] Shinku, Suiseiseki, and Souseiseki: [Sigh.] [ 2:29] [Switching TV off.] ... [ 2:30] [Footsteps.] [ 2:31] Nori: Ahh, I'm done tidying up... Oh? What's the matter, everyone, heaving sighs like that...? [ 2:37] Hinaichigo: Ah, Nori! [ 2:38] [Standing up.] [ 2:39] Shinku: ... Oh?! Everyone let's all improve our characters and aspire as best we can to become ladies worthy of Kunkun! [ 2:45] Suiseiseki: What are you saying, Shinku? When Kunkun was talking about his ideal type of woman a minute ago, I learned something ~desu! [ 2:54] Shinku: And what might that be? [ 2:56] Suiseiseki: That would be... that Kunkun's ideal type of woman... is the exact opposite type from Shinku ~desu! [ 3:05] Shinku: Wha... what did you say?! [ 3:07] Suiseiseki: All of the features of the type he disliked applied to you ~desu! [ 3:11] Shinku: Wha...?!! [ 3:13] Hinaichigo: Hweh... [ 3:14] Nori: Oh, dear... [ 3:15] [Footsteps.] [ 3:16] Jun: I'm back... Huh? Did something happen? [ 3:20] Shinku: In just what respect am I not ladylike or lacking in modesty?! [ 3:24] Jun: Huh? Hmm, well, let's see... If I had to say it, you're kinda selfish and hot-tempered, aren't you? [ 3:32] Shinku: Silence!! [ 3:33] [Whip-crack.] [ 3:34] Jun: [Yelp.] [ 3:34] [Thump.] [ 3:35] Hinaichigo: Ah-! Jun! [ 3:35] [Footsteps.] [ 3:36] Souseiseki: Ah... That was some bad timing, Jun-kun... [ 3:40] Suiseiseki: Well, not that it's anything you didn't deserve, but... More importantly, Shinku... [ 3:47] Shinku: What is it-?! [ 3:49] Suiseiseki: That part of your character is no good ~desu! [ 3:53] Shinku: [Whimper.] Shut up...! [ 3:57] Suiseiseki: Kunkun will hate you ~desu! [ 4:00] Shinku: [Breathes shakily.] [ 4:00] [Footsteps.] [ 4:02] [Door slams closed.] TRACK 3 - FANTASY AND REALITY [ 0:00] Shinku: I-it can't be, that Kunkun could h... hate... [ 0:07] [Trill. Start of imagination sequence.] [ 0:09] [Music starts.] [ 0:10] Kunkun: Come to me, my cute "Sweet Honey"! [ 0:15] Shinku: [Squealing:] Kunkuuun~! [ 0:17] Suiseiseki: There-! [ 0:19] Shinku: [Gasp.] Kunkun...?! [ 0:22] [Rustling sounds.] [ 0:23] Suiseiseki: Ahh, Kunkun...! [ 0:27] Kunkun: Ahh, my cute "Sweet Honey"! So ladylike, so modest, so lovely and elegant... Suiseiseki, you are truly my ideal woman. [ 0:40] Suiseiseki: Ohh, Kunkun, you! When you say that so straightforwardly, you really make me blush ~desu! [Giggling.] [ 0:48] Kunkun: [Laughing.] Oh, you... [ 0:52] Suiseiseki: Ahh, Kunkuuun~! [ 0:56] Shinku: That's...! What... what about *me*?! [ 1:00] Suiseiseki: Oh, Shinku. I didn't know you were here ~desu. [ 1:02] Shinku: Suiseiseki...! [ 1:04] Kunkun: Who's this? An acquaintance of yours? [ 1:06] Shinku: [Gasp.] [ 1:07] Suiseiseki: Who knows? There's no way the magnificent Suiseiseki would be acquainted with such a self-centered, haughty, violent woman as this ~desu. [ 1:16] Kunkun: That's true. [ 1:18] Shinku: This can't be! Wait, Kunkun! [ 1:20] Kunkun: Ah, I don't know who you are, but I wish you wouldn't address me in such a familiar fashion. [ 1:25] Shinku: Eh?! [ 1:26] Kunkun: [Chuckle.] I hate women like you. [ 1:30] Shinku: [Gasp.] [ 1:32] Kunkun: Well, shall we go, Suiseiseki? [ 1:35] Suiseiseki: Where to? [ 1:36] Kunkun: Isn't it obvious? Onward, into our bright future together! [ 1:42] Suiseiseki: Yes ~desu! [ 1:44] Shinku: [Whimper.] [ 1:45] Kunkun and Suiseiseki: [Laughing.] [ 1:53] Shinku: Wait, Kunkun! [ 1:55] [Scrabbling sounds.] [ 1:57] Shinku: Wait, Kunkun...! ... Wait, Kunkun! Ah-! ... KUNKUUUUN~!! ... [ 2:05] [Music stops. End of imagination sequence.] ... [ 2:08] Shinku: [Gasping for breath.] Th-that can't be...! That kind of thing is...! [ 2:15] Suiseiseki: [In flashback:] Kunkun will hate you ~desu. [ 2:19] Kunkun: [In flashback:] [Chuckle.] I hate women like you... hate women like you... *hate* women like *you*... [ 2:28] Shinku: [Sobbing:] That can't be...! To be... to be hated by Kunkun, I... I... Ahhh...!

[ 0:16] Jun: [Yawn.] 'Morning... Eh? "Jun-*sama*"?!! [ 0:23] Shinku: [Chuckle.] It is such a fine day today. The breeze is gentle and feels so nice... does it not? [ 0:34] Jun: Hah... [ 0:35] Shinku: Jun... -sama, ah, I have prepared your breakfast, so will you not please wash your face and join me downstairs? [ 0:44] Jun: What the heck have you been saying-?!

[ 2:07] Nori: [Whispering:] Sh-Shinku-chan... Ah! She must have eaten something bad by accident! Ahh, what should I do?! Maybe we should have a doctor - no, a doll-maker? - take a look at her? Oh, dear...! [ 2:19] Jun: [Sigh.] What the heck is she thinking? [ 2:23] Shinku: [Humming cheerfully.] [ 2:24] [Chime.] [ 2:26] Shinku: Well, they're done!

[ 2:55] Jun: [Whispering:] What the heck was that for?! [ 2:56] Suiseiseki: [Whispering:] Do something about this ~desu! [ 2:58] Jun: [Whispering:] Huh? "Something"...? [ 3:00] Suiseiseki: [Whispering:] Obviously, I mean that you should eat all of it yourself ~desu! [ 3:03] Jun: Wha-?!! Don't be ridiculous!! Do you think there's any way I could eat that kind of crap?!! [ 3:08] Suiseiseki: [Whispering:] Shhh-! You're voice is too loud ~desu! [ 3:11] Shinku: I see... After I slaved so hard to make it for you, you don't want to eat it... then? [ 3:19] Nori: Eh? Umm, that is...! [ 3:22] Hinaichigo: Th-that's not true...! [ 3:25] Suiseiseki: R... right ~desu...!

Oh that Jun, he found Shinku's cooking so delicious that he ended up eating all of our portions, too ~desu! H-honestly, how hopeless he is! [ 4:19] Hinaichigo: Suiseiseki, you're amazing...! [ 4:22] Shinku: Is that so? But, Jun - I mean, Jun-sama - ate it all, so... there's no longer any breakfast left for everyone else. [ 4:33] Suiseiseki and Hinaichigo: [Gulp.] [ 4:34] Shinku: So I'll make some more right away! [ 4:36] Hinaichigo: NOOOO ~na no!! [ 4:38] Suiseiseki: H-h-h-h-h-hold on just a minute ~desu! [ 4:40] Shinku: Oh? What is it? [ 4:42] Suiseiseki: Ah, th-that is... Ah! I-it would be a sin for us to rely on Shinku so much ~desu! So, we'll be fine with making our own breakfasts ~desu! [ 4:53] Shinku: But... [ 4:54] Suiseiseki: "He who does not work, shall not eat ~desu"! Isn't that right, Hinaichigo? [ 5:00] Hinaichigo: Hweh? Ah, y-yeah ~na no! [ 5:04] Shinku: Yes? All right, then... [ 5:07] Suiseiseki and Hinaichigo: [Sigh.] [ 5:08] Shinku: In that case, I think I'll go do the laundry next. ... [ 5:15] [Music starts.] [ 5:15] [Clinking of tableware.] [ 5:18] Suiseiseki: Ah, Nori's cooking really is the best after all ~desu! [ 5:23] Nori: [Giggle.] Thank you, Suiseiseki-chan. But, will this be all right? Jun-kun, Shinku-chan- [ 5:31] [Door opening.] [ 5:32] Souseiseki: Hello! [ 5:33] Nori: Oh, welcome, Souseiseki-chan! [ 5:36] [Footsteps.] [ 5:36] Suiseiseki: Souseiseki! What brings you here so early in the morning? [ 5:40] Souseiseki: Ah, well, there was some black smoke coming out of this house, so I flew down here thinking there might be a fire or something. [ 5:46] Nori: [Nervous laughter.] Well, you see, that was Shinku-chan's cooking. [ 5:50] Souseiseki: Eh?! Shinku's... cooking?! [ 5:54] Suiseiseki: And to prove it, here we have a fallen sacrificial victim. [ 5:58] Souseiseki: Eh? Ahh-! J-Jun-kun... [ 6:02] [Stirring sounds.] [ 6:02] Jun: [Groan.] [ 6:04] Hinaichigo: Ah-! Jun! Jun's awake! [ 6:07] Jun: The... the inside of my mouth... ... W-water...! [ 6:12] Nori: Ah, here, Jun-kun! [ 6:13] [Setting down glass.] [ 6:15] Jun: [Gulping sounds.] ... But, what the heck could Shinku be thinking?! [ 6:22] Suiseiseki: Honestly! Cooking breakfast and cleaning and what-not... I don't know what twist of fate could have brought this about ~desu! [ 6:30] Nori: Seriously, I wonder what happened? [ 6:33] Souseiseki: Cooking, and cleaning...? ... I see! It's probably about Kunkun, isn't it? [ 6:41] Jun: Kunkun?! [ 6:42] Suiseiseki: I see! That business from yesterday, right? [ 6:46] Souseiseki: [Chuckle.] Shinku's trying to come closer to the image of Kunkun's ideal woman, that he was talking about yesterday! [ 6:53] Hinaichigo: Hweh... "Kunkun's ideal woman"? [ 6:57] Suiseiseki: Honestly! Despite it being so out of character for her, what could Shinku be thinking ~desu? [ 7:04] Jun: [Grunt.] So that's why she's making this kind of burnt cooking and stuff. ... Huh? Now that I think of it, where... where did Shinku go? [ 7:13] Nori: Eh? Earlier, she said she was going to do the laundry... [ 7:16] Jun: Wait a minute! Shinku, doing laundry...?! Somebody stop her! [ 7:21] Suiseiseki: There's no particular problem, is there? If she wants to do the laundry, then we should let her do it ~desu. [ 7:26] Nori: That's right. Since Shinku-chan has gotten up the urge to do it. [ 7:30] Hinaichigo: Shinku is working hard! [ 7:32] Nori: Also, the washing machine is fully automatic, so it'll be all right! [ 7:35] Jun: No, but...! It's impossible. This is Shinku we're talking about. [ 7:41] Shinku: My, how rude. [ 7:42] [Footsteps.] [ 7:44] Nori: Shinku-chan! Is the laundry doing all right? [ 7:48] Shinku: Yes. The washing machine is working away quite noisily. Honestly... To be worried about me doing such a simple thing... [ 7:56] Nori: Th-that's right! You see, Jun-kun? It's all right, isn't it? [ 8:00] Jun: [Grunt.] [ 8:01] Shinku: Ahem. ... By the way, Nori - I mean, Nori-sama - what should we do about all those bubbles? [ 8:10] Nori: Bubbles? [ 8:11] Shinku: Yes. They started rapidly piling out of the washing machine, and the room has become completely filled with bubbles, but... Is there something you could do about that washing machine, I wonder? [ 8:21] Jun, Nori, and Suiseiseki: Eh-?!! [ 8:23] Nori: O-o-o-o-oh, oh nooo~!! [Panting.] [ 8:24] [Running footsteps.] [ 8:28] Nori: [From the next room:] Ahhh~! Bubbles... Bubbles are...!! [ 8:34] Jun: [Sigh.] [ 8:40] [Music stops.] ... [ 8:42] Nori: At any rate, let's wait until the bubbles die down, alright? [ 8:45] Suiseiseki: Even the hallway was full of bubbles ~desu. [ 8:47] Hinaichigo: Hweh...! It's all slippery! I was surprised! [ 8:52] Jun: I told you so... [ 8:54] Shinku: It would seem that I performed the job too well. [ 8:57] Souseiseki: No, I don't think that's it, Shinku... [ 9:03] Shinku: Ahem... Well then, next, I think I'll tidy up the room. [ 9:08] Jun: Weh-?! No, that's okay! [ 9:10] Shinku: To tidy things up and arrange things in their proper order, this is what is expected of a lady. Where is the vacuum cleaner? [ 9:16] Nori: The vacuum cleaner is upstairs, so hold on a minute, okay? [ 9:20] [Footsteps going upstairs.] [ 9:22] Suiseiseki: Ugh... I've got kind of a bad feeling about this ~desu... [ 9:25] Hinaichigo: Vacuum cleaner... The vacuum cleaner is scary when it gets mad! It's dangerous! [ 9:31] Souseiseki: Ah, I'd better get going, then... [ 9:33] Suiseiseki: S-S-Souseiseki?! Do you intend to escape all by yourself?! [ 9:37] Hinaichigo: Souseiseki, that's no fair! [ 9:39] Souseiseki: I'm not "escaping"! It's just that, you see, I'd get in the way of her tidying up the room if I were here, and... [ 9:43] Suiseiseki: I won't let you escape ~desu! [ 9:45] [Grab.] [ 9:46] [Struggling sounds.] [ 9:46] Souseiseki: Ahh-! L-let go of me, Suiseiseki-! [ 9:49] Suiseiseki: No way ~desu! I don't remember raising you to be the kind of child who would escape on her own ~desu! [ 9:55] Souseiseki: You didn't "raise me" at all! [ 9:57] Suiseiseki: Since when did you become such a coward ~desu?! [10:01] Souseiseki: Ow-! Suiseiseki, Grandpa is waiting for-! [10:03] Suigintou: [Echoing voice:] Ohh~? What's with all the commotion~? [10:06] Suiseiseki and Souseiseki: Eh?! [10:07] [Music starts.] [10:07] [Magic sounds.] [10:10] Suigintou: Shinkuuu... Oh? [Giggle.] What is with those clothes~? They look so laaame~! [10:18] Shinku: Hmph... This style of clothing is called a kappougi*. It is a traditional outfit that prevents one's clothes from getting dirty while one is cleaning the room... ah... Suigintou... -*oneesama*. [* kappougi: a Japanese-style apron worn for cooking or cleaning] [10:34] Suigintou: Hah? "*O-Onee-*"?! [10:36] Shinku: [Nervously:] I know! Why don't you join in helping me clean up? [10:41] Suigintou: Hah? [Giggle.] Honestly, I'd always thought of you as a foool, but now you're really proving yourself to be one, aren't you~? There's no reason why a proud doll of the Rozen Maidens such as myself should have to clean! Truly, it seems so foolish~! [10:48] Shinku: [Chuckle.] Keep on making fun of me as much as you like. The one to cry later will be you. [11:04] Suigintou: Hm~? What kind of nonsense are you spouting~? [11:07] Souseiseki: No, it's just as Shinku says. [11:12] Suigintou: What do you mean? [11:13] Suiseiseki: From yesterday's "Detective Kunkun", we learned what kind of woman is Kunkun's type ~desu! [11:19] Suigintou: Eh-?! Kunkun's... type...?! [11:23] Suiseiseki: Ah, no, on second thought this kind of talk has no connection with you, Suigintou. Just forget I brought it up ~desu! [11:28] Souseiseki: That's right. Now that you mention it, there's no way that Suigintou would have any interest in Kunkun, is there. [11:33] Suiseiseki: And with that said, if you've got no business here, then hurry up and leave ~desu. [11:38] Suigintou: Wa... wait a minute-! [11:40] Suiseiseki: Hm? [11:41] Suigintou: ... It's all right, so continue. [11:43] Suiseiseki: Hah? [11:44] Suigintou: I'm telling you to continue what you were talking about! ... I-it's not that I particularly care about what kind of woman is Kunkun's type! It's just that, well... I-it irritates me when people stop halfway through what they're saying, that's all! [11:59] Jun, Shinku, Suiseiseki, and Souseiseki: Ohhh...? [12:02] Suigintou: W-why the hell are you all looking at me like that?! D-do you actually think that *I* would fall in love with the likes of a mere dog detective?! [12:09] Jun: Well, yeah... [12:11] Shinku: It seems something has caught her. [12:12] Suiseiseki: Hmmm? Well, fine. Um, uh, where was I again? [12:20] Suigintou: ... You were talking about what kind of woman is Kunkun's type! [12:23] Suiseiseki: Oh, yeah, that's right. Kunkun's ideal type of woman is... [12:28] Souseiseki: Ladylike and modest, someone who is especially good at cooking and cleaning, and likes looking after peoples needs. But... [12:36] Suigintou: ... Hmmm~? I see... "But"...? [12:42] Suiseiseki: But... [Cackle.] Here's the best part...! [12:47] Shinku: [Wince.] [12:48] Suigintou: Hm? [12:48] Suiseiseki: On the other hand, he dislikes women who are self-centered, hot-tempered, and quickly resort to violence ~desu! [12:56] [Music stops.] [12:56] Suigintou: [Laughter.] Why, he's describing Shinku perfectly, isn't he~? Ahh, that's hilarious~! [Laughter.] [13:04] Shinku: What did you say?!! [13:06] Suigintou: [Laughter.] Overbearing, haughty, and - theeere, you see~? - she bursts out in anger right away when you just tease her a little bit~! [13:13] Shinku: [Fuming.] W-who on earth could you be talking about?! Are you sure you aren't looking into a mirror, Suigintou-oneesama?! [13:22] Suigintou: Hmph! I don't know how you think just acting like that is going to change you, but, it really doesn't suit you~! [Laughter.] [13:33] [Flying off.] [13:36] [Magical sounds.] [13:36] Jun: [Grunt.] ... Geez... [13:41] Suiseiseki: Ahh... What the heck did Suigintou come here for? [13:45] Souseiseki: I don't know. [13:47] Hinaichigo: Oh? Shinku? [13:49] Shinku: [Gnashing teeth.] [13:50] [Running footsteps.] [13:51] [Door slams closed.] [13:52] Hinaichigo: What's the matter with Shinku? [13:55] Suiseiseki and Souseiseki: [Sigh.] [13:55] [Footsteps.] [13:56] Jun: [Sigh.] [13:58] Nori: Hey, what happened? Just now Shinku-chan- [14:03] Jun: [Grunt.] [14:05] Nori: Jun-kun? [14:06] Hinaichigo: Ah, Jun! Wait! Hina's coming too...! Eh? [14:08] [Footsteps. Grab.] [14:09] Hinaichigo: Eh? [14:10] Souseiseki: Let's let Jun-kun handle this. [14:12] Suiseiseki: Yes. Puny-Ichigo, leave them be ~desu. [14:16] Hinaichigo: Oooh... TRACK 5 - AS YOU ARE [ 0:01] [Knock knock.] [ 0:02] Jun: Shinku, I'm coming in. [ 0:05] [Door opening.] [ 0:07] Jun: [Sigh.] [ 0:09] [Footsteps.] [ 0:12] Jun: Um, well, don't let what Suigintou was saying before get to you. [ 0:18] [Music starts.] [ 0:20] Jun: Ah, and, that is, about what you were doing before not being finished... i-it's not as if it matters whether you can do it or you can't... ... What I'm trying to say is, Shinku, just be the way you usually are. If you don't, then, how should I say it... well... it just seems wrong... ... [Grunt.] Uh, so... [ 0:50] Shinku: ... [ 0:52] Jun: Huh? [ 0:53] [Step.] [ 0:54] Shinku: What, Jun? Was that intended to console me? [ 0:58] Jun: Yeah... [ 0:59] [Footsteps.] [ 1:00] Shinku: I am not so weak that I should need to be consoled by a servant. [ 1:04] Jun: Yeah? [ 1:06] Shinku: Don't worry, though. I shall allow you to serve me more than you have before. [ 1:11] Jun: Wha-?! What are you talking about?! [ 1:13] Shinku: Oh, but would it not seem wrong, as you said, if i did not use you in the way that I usually do? [ 1:18] Jun: What do you mean?! How do you get that interpretation out of what I said?! [ 1:22] Shinku: Now then, go at once and make me some tea. [ 1:25] Jun: Hah? [ 1:25] Shinku: Yes. Some Darjeeling, straight would be nice. Make sure you allow the leaves to open properly as you make it. Be careful about it. [ 1:32] Jun: Hey! Don't suddenly change the subject-! [ 1:36] Shinku: Honestly! It causes one such hardship, to have a servant who talks back so much. [ 1:41] Jun: Arghh! Geez! Listen to what people are saying to you! [ 1:45] [Door creaking open.] [ 1:47] Nori: [Giggle.] Shinku-chan, Jun-kun... [ 1:50] Hinaichigo: [Giggle.] The usual Shinku finally came back. [ 1:55] Souseiseki: [Chuckle.] That's Jun-kun for you. [ 1:58] Suiseiseki: Hmph! It would have been fine for Shinku to stay just a little bit more well-behaved! As usual, the puny human does such uncalled-for things ~desu! [ 2:07] Souseiseki: What is it, Suiseiseki? Could it be jealousy? [ 2:12] Suiseiseki: Whaaa-?! W-who would be jealous on account of the likes of Jun?! [ 2:16] Souseiseki: It's because Jun-kun has been so concerned for Shinku that he hasn't paid any attention to you, isn't it. [ 2:21] Suiseiseki: W-w-w-wha, what are you-?! [ 2:25] Hinaichigo: Hey, hey, what's "jealousy"? [ 2:28] Suiseiseki: I told you, it's not ~desu~! Puny-Ichigo, don't ask questions about every little thing ~desu! [ 2:34] Souseiseki: Oh, brother. Suiseiseki and Shinku are both just as dishonest with their own feelings. [ 2:39] Suiseiseki: Iii tooold youuu~! Listen when people are talking to youuu~! ~Desu! [ 2:52] [Music stops.] TRACK 6 - SHINKU'S EVERYDAY ROUTINE II [ 0:00] [Kunkun theme music starts.] [ 0:03] Hinaichigo: It was an awesome one again today~! [ 0:05] Suiseiseki: But, that mysterious cat thief - I don't like how she's deliberately trying to seduce Kunkun ~desu! [ 0:11] Shinku: It will be all right, Suiseiseki. There's no way - absolutely no way - that Kunkun would allow himself to be fooled by that little tramp! [ 0:21] Souseiseki: Yeah! I can't wait for the next episode! [ 0:23] Jun: Really? It's the same plot development as always, so I think it's getting boring, but... [ 0:27] [Whip-crack.] [ 0:28] Jun: [Yelp.] [ 0:29] Kunkun: Hey, everyone out there in TV land! It's me - Kunkun! Today I'm going to read another one of the fan letters that you all sent in! Let's see, this one is from a friend by the pen-name of "Roja-san" from Tokyo. Ah, "I always enjoy watching your show". Ahah, thanks. "There are always so many attractive women around you, so, have you ever thought about one of them, 'I'd really like to allow myself to be seduced by her'? Even though you know it'd be dangerous, please tell me what type of woman is one you could fall in love with like that in spite of yourself." ... Hmm, I see... A slightly dangerous "adult love", eh? [ 1:18] EHHH-?!! [ 1:20] Shinku: Kunkun's...? [ 1:22] Suiseiseki: Slightly dangerous...? [ 1:23] Souseiseki: "Adult love"?! [ 1:25] Hinaichigo: Hweh? [ 1:26] Jun: Huh? What the hell? [ 1:29] Kunkun: The type of woman I could fall in love with in spite of myself, even though I knew it'd be dangerous... That would, of course, be...! [ 1:37] Shinku, Suiseiseki, and Souseiseki: [Gulp.] [ 1:39] Kunkun: One who is selfish... [ 1:40] Shinku, Suiseiseki, and Souseiseki: Uh-huh...! [ 1:41] Kunkun: And self-centered... [ 1:43] Shinku, Suiseiseki, and Souseiseki: Uh-huh, uh-huh...! [ 1:45] Kunkun: And hot-tempered...! [ 1:47] Suiseiseki: Huh? ... Is this...? [ 1:50] Souseiseki: Yeah. Beyond a doubt. [ 1:53] Shinku: ... Wait a minute. Why are you all looking at me? [ 1:56] Kunkun: ... A girl who is always saying unreasonable things! In reality it'd be terrible to be with her, and yet, at the same time, I'd want her to abuse me and toy with me thoughtlessly! [ 2:13] Jun: Huh? Do you think Kunkun could be a masochi- [ 2:16] [Whip-crack.] [ 2:16] Jun: [Yelp.] [ 2:17] Hinaichigo: Ah-! Jun! [ 2:18] Kunkun: Well then, see you all again next weeKunkun! [ 2:25] [Kunkun theme music stops.] ... [ 2:26] [Door opens.] [ 2:27] [Slow footsteps.] [ 2:29] Suiseiseki: [Sigh.] That's so nice for you, isn't it, Shinku? [ 2:35] Shinku: What is? [ 2:36] Suiseiseki: Kunkun's ideal "adult love" partner is just like you ~desu! Although it is a little disappointing. [ 2:44] Souseiseki: Yeah. It's a perfect streak. [ 2:45] Shinku: H-hey... [ 2:48] Suigintou: [Echoing voice:] Hold it right there, Shinkuuu~! [ 2:49] [Magic sounds.] [ 2:51] Shinku: [Gasp.] [ 2:52] Shinku, Jun, Suiseiseki, and Souseiseki: Suigintou-! [ 2:54] Suigintou: ... Shinkuuu, don't get too stuck up about this~. [ 2:58] Shinku: What are you talking about? [ 2:59] Suigintou: Don't play dumb with me! I'm talking about what Kunkun said just now. Selfish, self-centered, and hot-tempered... Beyond a doubt, he's talking about you, isn't he~? [ 3:09] Shinku: As if you're one to talk! [ 3:11] Suiseiseki: [Whispering:] Does this mean...? [ 3:14] Souseiseki: [Whispering:] It looks like she's become a little bit more self-aware. [ 3:17] Jun: [Whispering:] And Suigintou doesn't have the slightest bit of self-awareness herself, does she? [ 3:20] Shinku: You, there! [ 3:21] Suigintou: Shut up! [ 3:22] [Whip-crack.] [ 3:23] [Feather whistling past.] [ 3:23] Jun: [Yell.] [ 3:24] [Thump.] [ 3:24] Hinaichigo: Ahhh, Jun-! [ 3:25] Suigintou: Hmph! I'll keep it at that and withdraw for today, but don't get too full of yourself, Shinkuuu~! When next we meet... [ 3:35] [Magic sounds.] [ 3:36] [Flying off.] [ 3:38] Jun: Ow-ow-ow... Geez, what the heck was that about?! [ 3:44] Shinku: Jun, more importantly, tidy this place up. [ 3:48] Jun: Hah? What the...? Hm? What're these? Suigintou's...? [ 3:53] [Music starts.] [ 3:54] Hinaichigo: A ton of her black feathers fell off. [ 3:56] Shinku: Precisely. [ 3:58] Jun: H-hey, wait! Suigintou came to see you, Shinku, didn't she?! Why should I-?! [ 4:03] Shinku: Why, because this is *your* room, Jun, is it not? A room's owner ought to be the one to tidy it up. [ 4:09] Jun: Wha-?! So only at times when it's convenient for you do you...! [ 4:13] Shinku: Well then, if you please... "Jun-sama". [ 4:16] [Footsteps.] [ 4:19] Suiseiseki: Ahhh, in the end she's the same as always, without having changed at all. [ 4:22] Souseiseki: Yeah. Well, that's the way Shinku is, so it's all right, I suppose. [ 4:28] Jun: It's not all right! She ought to behave a little-!! [ 4:30] [Whip-crack.] [ 4:30] Jun: [Yelp.] [ 4:31] Shinku: And when you're done cleaning, go make me some tea. [ 4:34] Jun: [Gnashing teeth.] WHY YOUUU...!!
