114. No matter what, he's never looking at me!Copy !req
115. I knew it from the beginning!Copy !req
116. He doesn't have eyes for anyone but Ninocchi...Copy !req
117. They make a great couple!Copy !req
118. You and I are both so lame...Copy !req

144. Episode 179 "Gravity of Love"Copy !req
145. Ric, I grilled some fish for lunch.Copy !req

147. She only does this for her lover.Copy !req
148. Ah, it's times like these that I feel Nino's love the most...Copy !req
149. Why don't we go somewhere else, Nino?Copy !req
150. Hey, Amazoness! Ric's over here!Copy !req
151. You fucking spergbula!Copy !req
152. Amazoness, you made Ric lunch?Copy !req
153. I'll just go ahead and have Nino's fish.Copy !req
154. Wait!Copy !req
155. You can have Amazoness's lovingly-prepared...Copy !req
156. Wow, he's cute! Just like me!Copy !req
157. You made lunch for Star?Copy !req
158. No!Copy !req
159. But why would you make my lunch look like him?Copy !req
160. I wanted you to be able to do this and clear up your frustration!Copy !req
161. That's gross!Copy !req
162. Come on, no matter how much of a galactic pain he is, I'd never be that spiteful.Copy !req
163. This is just how Amazoness shows her love.Copy !req
164. You've been thinking too hard about Ric, right?Copy !req
165. Anyway, I never realized you were so good at cooking!Copy !req
166. I—I'm not good at cooking at all!Copy !req
167. That was made of scraps anyway! If you ate it, you'd start to rot from the inside!Copy !req
168. You were going to feed that to me?Copy !req
169. Amazoness, are you trying to kill me!?Copy !req
170. A lover's murder-suicide!?Copy !req
171. No! I love you, Teacher!Copy !req

173. I was up all last night knitting this...Copy !req
174. Chainmail!Copy !req
175. Well, that's a weight on my shoulders.Copy !req
176. I want to protect you, Teacher...Copy !req
177. What's this embroidery?Copy !req
178. It's my guardian angel!Copy !req
179. My guardian angel is so trustworthy and kind! He's the best!Copy !req
180. A hot guy mark?Copy !req
181. Amazon!Copy !req
182. Such a mere demigod shall be pierced through!Copy !req
183. What the hell are you doing!?Copy !req
184. Why have you been putting Star's face on everything!?Copy !req
185. It's a good-luck charm! You know, like wishing on a star!Copy !req
186. That's right...Copy !req
187. You're still pushing it!Copy !req
188. But this is...Copy !req
189. Crossing a star!Copy !req
190. So these are all crossed stars?Copy !req
191. That's right, the true cause of the shooting stars at night...Copy !req
192. Is because we Amazonesses curse people to burn to cinders during reentry!Copy !req
193. Why do you hate stars so much!?Copy !req
194. What!? I thought we were friends! Stupid!Copy !req
195. What's with you, Amazoness? I know you like me, but...Copy !req
196. Yeah, you're really acting funny.Copy !req
197. You like Star. Why are you pretending you like Ric?Copy !req
198. D-don't get me wrong! I don't care either way about that pickled radish!Copy !req
199. Wow! She really is bipolar!Copy !req
200. Hey, what's up?Copy !req
201. Sorry for the trouble.Copy !req
202. Honestly, Amazoness has been head over heels for Star since he got a winner Master Softee stick.Copy !req
203. Sure showing off some female intuition there, Nino.Copy !req
204. No, it was just the Pharisvos waves emanating from her head.Copy !req
205. Any Venusian would understand.Copy !req
206. I see. She likes Star.Copy !req
207. She likes him more than me.Copy !req
208. What's wrong? Why are you crying?Copy !req
209. If you like Star, why not tell him like you did with Ric?Copy !req
210. I... I can't...Copy !req
211. Star said I was cute for being so enthusiastic about Teacher...Copy !req
212. If he found out I fell for him, he'd hate me...Copy !req
213. Amazoness...Copy !req
214. What are you doing, Ninocchi?Copy !req
215. I just thought I'd wash her tears away.Copy !req
216. There's not anything to cry about, is there?Copy !req
217. You're still enthusiastic.Copy !req
218. You're still cute.Copy !req
219. I think Star will understand.Copy !req
220. Ninocchi!Copy !req
221. Dammit, what's eating at me?Copy !req
222. It's not like Star's better than me just because of this!Copy !req
223. Looks like they're still at it.Copy !req
224. I'll try my best...Copy !req
225. Thanks, Ninocchi.Copy !req
226. Now that I've washed my face, I'm all better!Copy !req
227. Who are you?Copy !req

248. Everyone come...Copy !req
249. To the beach shack with the mermaid!Copy !req
250. See ya!Copy !req
251. Was that supposed to be a blown kiss and a wink!?Copy !req
252. What's going on? Is Nino involved with the beach shack?Copy !req
253. And she went upstream, but there's no sea upstream!Copy !req
254. The ocean calls out to me.Copy !req
255. Are you brain-damaged?Copy !req
256. You'd have to be brain-damaged to hesitate before taking up a girl's invitation to the beach.Copy !req
257. Nino's got her swimsuit on, and there have to be other girls there.Copy !req
258. For us men, the beach is...Copy !req
259. "where the girls in swimsuits are"...Copy !req

326. Honestly, we only wanted Star. That's why we had Nino help out.Copy !req
327. So that's what she was doing in that weird outfit?Copy !req
328. Yes, but we think she owes at least that to Amazoness.Copy !req
329. Thanks, Star. I owe you my life.Copy !req
330. Stupid! Don't mess up like that!Copy !req
331. Were you trying to get Ric to save you!?Copy !req
