1. Halloween?Copy !req
2. Yeah, Halloween!Copy !req
3. Your place sells Japanese sweets...Copy !req
4. That's got nothing to do with Halloween.Copy !req
5. Actually, we decided to hold a fair and make Western-style Japanese sweets.Copy !req
6. Then those are Western sweets...Copy !req
7. You think so?Copy !req
8. Anyway, they're already made, and the fair is tomorrow, so I was thinking maybe you could come try some?Copy !req
9. After school maybe?Copy !req
10. Yeah, sure...Copy !req
11. Great!Copy !req
12. It's really something, so look forward to it!Copy !req
13. Tamura-san!Copy !req
14. Okay!Copy !req
15. I've been wondering for a while, but are you and Tamura-san going out?Copy !req
16. No. Do we look like it?Copy !req
17. That's how I see it.Copy !req
18. In fact, I can't see it any other way.Copy !req
19. That's not how we are.Copy !req
20. We're close of course, considering how long we've known each other.Copy !req
21. But you're saying there aren't any feelings beyond that between you two?Copy !req
22. Right?Copy !req
23. Akagi...Copy !req
24. Let's say for example you had a very kind old Grandma.Copy !req
25. Where's this totally unrelated example coming from?Copy !req
26. One day, that Grandma gets magically transformed into a 15-year-old girl.Copy !req
27. How would you feel about her, keeping in mind that she practically raised you?Copy !req
28. I don't think I can imagine how I'd feel in such a messed up situation.Copy !req
29. We're pretty much like that.Copy !req
30. You lost me.Copy !req
31. Well, I don't really care if you understand or not.Copy !req
32. Basically, you're not going out, and you never intend to?Copy !req
33. Why are you asking me this?Copy !req
34. So if some guy made a move on her, you wouldn't care?Copy !req
35. Of course I would!Copy !req
36. There's no way I'd allow that!Copy !req
37. I'd beat the crap out of anyone messed up enough to do that.Copy !req
38. So basically...Copy !req
39. She's nothing more than a childhood friend to you...Copy !req
40. You're not going out with her...Copy !req
41. You have no feelings for her...Copy !req
42. But you wouldn't allow any other guys to go out with her?Copy !req
43. Yeah, so?Copy !req
44. So what did you do last night?Copy !req
45. That's a secret!Copy !req

69. I'm back!Copy !req
70. Welcome home.Copy !req
71. A package arrived for you.Copy !req
72. What did you buy?Copy !req
73. A dakimakura!Copy !req
74. I mean... something I found online that relieves stress.Copy !req
75. Oh?Copy !req
76. If it works, let me know.Copy !req
77. Sure.Copy !req
78. Can't let her know...Copy !req
79. I see... sure is Halloween.Copy !req
80. Are you going to get customers with this?Copy !req
81. Of course!Copy !req
82. We're doing an event for the first day too.Copy !req
83. Event?Copy !req
84. We're going to invite the kids from around the neighborhood and show them how to make sweets and hand them out.Copy !req
85. The workers are going to be dressed up as monsters too.Copy !req
86. I'm back!Copy !req
87. You mean your Grandparents?Copy !req
88. The rest of the family too.Copy !req
89. So I'll be help—Copy !req
90. What's wrong?Copy !req
91. Grandpa!Copy !req
92. Grandpa, you okay?Copy !req
93. Hey!Copy !req
94. He's cold!Copy !req
95. Call an ambulance, Manami!Copy !req
96. Okay!Copy !req
97. Grandpa...Copy !req
98. Oh, it's Kyou-chan. Welcome!Copy !req
99. Grandma! Grandpa has...Copy !req
100. Oh?Copy !req
101. He's playing dead?Copy !req
102. No wait, he really is dead!Copy !req
103. His body's gone cold already!Copy !req
104. He got into the shop refrigerator a little while ago.Copy !req
105. So this is what it was for...Copy !req
106. But he doesn't have a pulse!Copy !req
107. He's always had a weak pulse.Copy !req
108. Why does he smell like a corpse?Copy !req
109. That's his natural body odor.Copy !req
110. But... wait...Copy !req
111. Grandpa, if you don't cut it out, I'll pull the hairs out of your head one by one.Copy !req
112. Dang, you're one devil of a wife.Copy !req
113. How could you even think of harming what little hair I have left?Copy !req
114. See?Copy !req
115. Happy Halloween, Kyou-chan!Copy !req
116. Trick or... what was it again?Copy !req
117. Has your brain started to rot?Copy !req
118. Kyou-chan!Copy !req
119. What's the number for an ambulance?Copy !req
120. Like I know!Copy !req
121. I'm so glad you're still alive, Grandpa!Copy !req
122. Ah, sorry about that!Copy !req
123. I got a little carried away...Copy !req
124. I want to punch him in the face!Copy !req
125. What's up, Kyou-chan?Copy !req
126. Why were you playing dead?Copy !req
127. I was just practicing my costume for tomorrow.Copy !req
128. My zombie impression was great, right?Copy !req
129. Actually, you seemed more like a normal corpse.Copy !req
130. Any kid who sees you will get traumatized.Copy !req
131. I don't think you should let them see that.Copy !req
132. He's right, you know.Copy !req
133. Is that right...Copy !req
134. Well fine then.Copy !req
135. Not like I care anyway.Copy !req
136. Don't bother consoling him.Copy !req
137. If you play along with him he'll just go overboard again.Copy !req
138. Understood.Copy !req
139. I'll go get some of the Halloween candy then.Copy !req
140. I'll go help her.Copy !req
141. You seem to be popular with the grannies.Copy !req
142. That doesn't make me happy!Copy !req
143. And why was that plural?Copy !req
144. Have you done it yet?Copy !req
145. Done what?Copy !req
146. And of course we haven't!Copy !req
147. Hey, it's An-chan! Been a while!Copy !req
148. Yo, long time—Copy !req
149. What happened to your hair?Copy !req
150. I cut it all off!Copy !req
151. What do you think?Copy !req
152. Skinheads are popular nowadays!Copy !req
153. That's a monk's buzzcut, you know...Copy !req
154. No skinhead looks like that.Copy !req
155. No way, An-chan!Copy !req
156. The barber said, "Right, skinhead. Skinhead."
then cut it with his clipper.Copy !req
157. He even asked how short I wanted it.Copy !req
158. That's a totally different hairstyle.Copy !req
159. You're supposed to use a special razor for that.Copy !req
160. Not that I know much about it...Copy !req
161. No way!Copy !req
162. That barber ripped me off!Copy !req
163. I thought so!Copy !req
164. Ever since you came back with that I've been wanting to say,Copy !req
165. There's no "skin" there!Copy !req
166. for the longest time!Copy !req
167. You should have just told him...Copy !req
168. You cut your hair on a whim so you got what's coming to you!Copy !req
169. Stupid Rock!Copy !req
170. "Rock"?Copy !req
171. Hey, get this!Copy !req
172. When he got back from the barber he was all like,Copy !req
173. "Check out my awesome hairstyle! From now on you can call me Rock!"Copy !req
174. Your name's Iwao though...Copy !req
175. Tamura Iwao...Copy !req
176. Adults are all liars!Copy !req
177. Don't trust those over-50s!Copy !req
178. These are really elaborate...Copy !req
179. Right?Copy !req
180. P-Please go ahead and try some!Copy !req
181. S-Sure...Copy !req
182. It's great!Copy !req
183. Really?Copy !req
184. You put actual pumpkin inside?Copy !req
185. Yeah! You can tell?Copy !req
186. Did you make these?Copy !req
187. Why?Copy !req
188. Well, you wanted to know what I thought...Copy !req
189. Yeah, I made them...Copy !req
190. I'm so glad you like them!Copy !req
191. Yeah...Copy !req
192. Why don't you two just get married already?Copy !req
193. Grandpa!Copy !req
194. Sometimes even he makes sense.Copy !req
195. Oh, stop that you two!Copy !req
196. Kyou-chan, let's go to my room.Copy !req
197. Sure...Copy !req
198. Woo! Getting hot up there!Copy !req
199. That's so old...Copy !req
200. Oh, really?Copy !req
201. Wait here a second.Copy !req
202. You need to hide something?Copy !req
203. Oh, come on!Copy !req
204. Yeah, I guess this isn't her we're talking about.Copy !req
205. What was that?Copy !req
206. I knew it!Copy !req
207. Nothing's really changed here...Copy !req
208. Stop staring!Copy !req
209. It's embarrassing...Copy !req
210. Um... what should we do?Copy !req
211. Sleep.Copy !req
212. I think I've been staying up late studying too much these days.Copy !req
213. I feel like just relaxing and taking a nap.Copy !req
214. That okay?Copy !req
215. So that's what you meant...Copy !req
216. No studying allowed.Copy !req
217. I even left my textbooks at school.Copy !req
218. I see...Copy !req
219. Let's just relax then.Copy !req
220. I'll go get some tea.Copy !req
221. 'Kay.Copy !req
222. Don't you need to help prepare for the fair?Copy !req
223. Yeah, but that'll be after the shop closes.Copy !req
224. The whole family will be working on it.Copy !req
225. I'll lend a hand then.Copy !req
226. Really?Copy !req
227. That'd be a great help!Copy !req
228. But aren't you tired?Copy !req
229. It's fine.Copy !req
230. Don't worry about me.Copy !req
231. Thanks so much!Copy !req
232. It's not exactly payment, but you can have dinner here then.Copy !req
233. Look, a tea stalk is standing.Copy !req
234. Hey, neat.Copy !req
235. You bought a dakimakura...Copy !req
236. You really have no intentions on stopping, do you?Copy !req
237. Huh? I worked hard to buy my things!Copy !req
238. Moreover, a pillow is an everyday necessity.Copy !req
239. You have no right to tell me what to do!Copy !req
240. It's not really a necessity, is it?Copy !req
241. It's just to satisfy a delusion for that little girl.Copy !req
242. She's not a little girl!Copy !req
243. Meru-chan is young lady.Copy !req
244. A MA-GIC-AL GIRL..Copy !req
245. Now, now. Calm down.Copy !req
246. Anyway, Kiririn-san, what was your brother Kyousuke's reaction to it?Copy !req
247. Well...Copy !req
248. I thought I'd let him look at it.Copy !req
249. But he still hasn't come home.Copy !req
250. Seriously, whenever you need that guy, he's never around.Copy !req
251. He probably felt the aura of a succubus in the house and feared for his life.Copy !req
252. I don't blame him.Copy !req
253. I think he went to the library with that plain girl.Copy !req
254. The one he's always talking about.Copy !req
255. Not that I really care.Copy !req
256. Onii-sama is into that kind of girl?Copy !req
257. I'm shocked. It didn't seem like him.Copy !req
258. Huh? He never told you?Copy !req
259. I'm hearing it for the first time.Copy !req
260. So, what's she like?Copy !req
261. She's a childhood friend, wears glasses, and is an airhead.Copy !req
262. What the? You're keeping a lot to yourself.Copy !req
263. Tell us everything.Copy !req
264. I see.Copy !req
265. You eat breakfast every day with him, so it's obvious you know more.Copy !req
266. I don't really understand their relationship,Copy !req
267. but everything about her is so...Copy !req
268. plain.Copy !req
269. Woah, this is heavy!Copy !req
270. Ah, thanks.Copy !req
271. What the heck are you doing?Copy !req
272. An-chan, I understand now.Copy !req
273. Rock isn't how you look...Copy !req
274. It's a way of life!Copy !req
275. There's little difference between a skinhead and a short buzz!Copy !req
276. Tomorrow, I shout with all my soul!Copy !req
277. And why are you playing a shamisen?Copy !req
278. That's more like a biwa player than a rocker.Copy !req
279. We don't have a guitar—Copy !req
280. Help out.Copy !req
281. Fine.Copy !req
282. Man, I'm tired.Copy !req
283. Good work, Kyou-chan.Copy !req
284. Um... do you want dinner first or a bath first?Copy !req
285. A bath?Copy !req
286. It's been a while since you visited, so Grandpa and Grandma and Dad said you should stay over.Copy !req
287. Oh, I see.Copy !req
288. Grandpa and Grandma and Dad are really happy to see you again.Copy !req
289. Grandpa's—Copy !req
290. Grandpa and Grandma—Copy !req
291. Gra—Copy !req
292. Grandpa had Grandma—Copy !req
293. I get it, I'll sleep over.Copy !req
294. Are you sure?Copy !req
295. Well, yeah.Copy !req
296. Tomorrow's the weekend.Copy !req
297. It's been so long since you slept over.Copy !req
298. I guess you're right.Copy !req
299. I used to come over all the time too.Copy !req
300. It might be because, you know...Copy !req
301. You're that age now, so you get nervous staying at a girl's house.Copy !req
302. Why would I get nervous staying at your place?Copy !req
303. You don't?Copy !req
304. Of course not.Copy !req
305. It's more relaxing here than at home.Copy !req
306. Huh?Copy !req
307. What's wrong?Copy !req
308. Nothing, I just thought it might be better that way.Copy !req
309. Where is he?Copy !req
310. He's staying at the Tamuras'.Copy !req
311. Honestly, he's always acting like a little kid.Copy !req
312. Did you talk to the parents?Copy !req
313. Of course.Copy !req
314. They said it'd help with their Halloween.Copy !req
315. Halloween?Copy !req
316. Thanks for the food.Copy !req
317. Yes.Copy !req
318. Thanks for the meal.Copy !req
319. An-chan, how do you play a C minor?Copy !req
320. There aren't any chords on a shamisen, you know...Copy !req
321. Kyou-chan, Dad's about to get out of the bath. Do you want to take one next?Copy !req
322. I can go last. You take one first.Copy !req
323. I'm fine going after you.Copy !req
324. No, you take one first.Copy !req
325. Then how about taking one together?Copy !req
326. Kyou-chan, you're blushing!Copy !req
327. Alright! Let's take one together!Copy !req
328. Seriously?Copy !req
329. Super serious!Copy !req
330. You already invited me.Copy !req
331. You can't take it back now, can you?Copy !req
332. An-chan, you're a real man!Copy !req
333. I know, right?Copy !req
334. Damn! So cool!Copy !req
335. Let's go, Manami!Copy !req
336. I'll show you my hyper-weapon!Copy !req
337. Grandma, what do I do?Copy !req
338. Kyou-chan wants to take a bath with me!Copy !req
339. Don't go telling everyone!Copy !req
340. So take one with him.Copy !req
341. Wha—it was a joke!Copy !req
342. You so want to, too.Copy !req
343. I don't!Copy !req
344. Idiot.Copy !req
345. Thanks for the bath.Copy !req
346. Anytime.Copy !req
347. I put your futon in your usual room.Copy !req
348. Thanks.Copy !req
349. I guess I'll sleep then.Copy !req
350. I'll go back to my room.Copy !req
351. Hey, Grandma!Copy !req
352. Teach me how to play this!Copy !req
353. Sure.Copy !req
354. What do you want to play?Copy !req
355. Something rock.Copy !req
356. How many years has it been since we were up until bedtime together?Copy !req
357. Four years, I think?Copy !req
358. Good night.Copy !req
359. Yeah.Copy !req
360. Kyou-chan! Kyou-chan!Copy !req
361. My futon is...Copy !req
362. Huh? My futon?Copy !req
363. Apparently...Copy !req
364. Wh-Why is it here?Copy !req
365. And right next to yours?Copy !req
366. Did you do this, Kyou-chan?Copy !req
367. Like hell!Copy !req
368. Calm down, calm down...Copy !req
369. Analyze the situation.Copy !req
370. Ah, so basically... I did it!Copy !req
371. Kyou-chan, calm down!Copy !req
372. Grandpa!Copy !req
373. What are you doing?Copy !req
374. Just a little something with my heart...Copy !req
375. What the heck are you doing, Grandpa?Copy !req
376. It's trauma from the War.Copy !req
377. If you don't sleep there with Manami, my chest gets wracked with pain.Copy !req
378. What kind of trauma causes that?Copy !req
379. Oh, the pain!Copy !req
380. Grandma's calling for me from across the River Styx...Copy !req
381. Grandma!Copy !req
382. Grandma's downstairs.Copy !req
383. This is just weird!Copy !req
384. We can't sleep together at our age!Copy !req
385. I don't think she—Copy !req
386. I'm...Copy !req
387. I'm okay with it...Copy !req
388. If you're okay with it.Copy !req
389. Well, there you have it.Copy !req
390. What? Wait, you damn nutjob!Copy !req
391. It feels like we're kids again.Copy !req
392. We used to sleep like this all the time back then.Copy !req
393. I never thought we'd do it at this age.Copy !req
394. This is all that old codger's fault.Copy !req
395. And Grandma... maybe some other time.Copy !req
396. I'm going to sleep.Copy !req
397. Good night.Copy !req
398. Good night, Kyou-chan.Copy !req
399. Still awake?Copy !req
400. Still awake.Copy !req
401. Um...Copy !req
402. It'd be nice if we went to the same college.Copy !req
403. Yeah.Copy !req
404. I wonder how things'll be if we graduate and go to the same college.Copy !req
405. How what will be?Copy !req
406. Everything.Copy !req
407. I don't think it'll change much.Copy !req
408. Maybe.Copy !req
409. Hey, Manami...Copy !req
410. Yes?Copy !req
411. What if someone told you they liked you?Copy !req
412. What would you do?Copy !req
413. Wh-Wh-What?Copy !req
414. "What if"!Copy !req
415. It's hypothetical!Copy !req
416. That kind of fantastic guy might never appear!Copy !req
417. If... I don't know what if.Copy !req
418. Figured...Copy !req
419. Sorry.Copy !req
420. Kyou-chan?Copy !req
421. If someone told you they liked you, what would you do?Copy !req
422. I'd turn them down.Copy !req
423. Why?Copy !req
424. I like leading a peaceful life.Copy !req
425. Things are fine the way they are right now.Copy !req
426. Being able to relax in this kind of home is enough for me.Copy !req
427. I see...Copy !req
428. We've still got a long way to go.Copy !req
429. Spoken like a true Grandma.Copy !req
430. Well, you're talking like a Grandpa.Copy !req
431. Kyou-chan...Copy !req
432. Maybe next time...Copy !req
433. Um... er...Copy !req
434. Sorry... never mind.Copy !req
435. Next time...Copy !req
436. Want to come to my place next time?Copy !req
437. Um...Copy !req
438. Yeah, I'd like that.Copy !req
439. Sometime soon then.Copy !req
440. Okay.Copy !req
441. Good night.Copy !req
442. How many times is that now?Copy !req
443. I'm going to sleep.Copy !req
444. Fine, don't come back.Copy !req
