1. Why?Copy !req
2. Why won't you give me an answer?Copy !req
3. I want to know how you really feel!Copy !req
4. Th-This is way too sudden...Copy !req
5. I'm not interested in that stuff.Copy !req
6. Don't you lie to me!Copy !req
7. You were so aggressive back then!Copy !req
8. W-Well, um...Copy !req
9. I mean, if I had to answer...Copy !req
10. I think Runrune is cuter
with a bowtie than a ribbon.Copy !req
11. I knew it!Copy !req
12. I was thinking the same thing!Copy !req
13. As a Kyuthi-chan fan,
you've got good taste, Kawaii!Copy !req
14. I-I'm not really interested in cute stuff!Copy !req
15. Keychains.Copy !req
16. Handkerchiefs.Copy !req
17. Book jackets.Copy !req
18. Umbrella tags!Copy !req
19. I'll hand them out all over school, and
spread the word about how cute Runrune is!Copy !req
20. Oh, yeah...Copy !req
21. I forgot this is what Runrune
originally looked like.Copy !req
22. Whatever do you mean?Copy !req
23. This has always been the real Runrune,
and it always will be!Copy !req
24. Don't you bring up that wretched phony!Copy !req
25. Sorry!Copy !req
26. Let's mass produce merch of Runrune
with the bowtie right away, Hodai!Copy !req
27. Alice-chan...Copy !req
28. Runrune wants to wear the ribbon.Copy !req
29. H-Hodai?Copy !req
30. Wh-Wh-What are you talking about?Copy !req
31. You're not going to be the one wearing it!Copy !req
32. Rats.Copy !req
33. I got too into it, and let my
inner Runrune-sama slip out.Copy !req
34. Hey...Copy !req
35. Can I go home already?Copy !req
36. Hey, Puniru!Copy !req
37. Where'd you go?Copy !req
38. Let's go home!Copy !req
39. Whoa!Copy !req
40. P-Puniru?Copy !req
41. That form...Copy !req
42. What'd you transform into now?Copy !req
43. Ta-da...Copy !req
44. Say something!Copy !req
45. I'm too worthless to deserve a name...Copy !req
46. No, you're not!Copy !req
47. Where's your usual
"Kawaii Puniru" or whatever?Copy !req
48. Less Kawaii than All the Garbage
in the World Puniru!Copy !req
49. A-Ah!Copy !req
50. Puniru's lost her marbles!Copy !req
51. Looks like mold.Copy !req
52. Mold?Copy !req
53. Touch it with those grubby paws,
and of course microbes will grow!Copy !req
54. Hey!Copy !req
55. I-I'm not all touchy with Puniru or anything!Copy !req
56. Th-That's right.Copy !req
57. It's not like I'm cute,Copy !req
58. and I'm not even worth talking to.Copy !req
59. That's not—Copy !req
60. It's fine.Copy !req
61. I know all too well how uncute I am.Copy !req
62. Agh, what a hassle!Copy !req
63. Puhehe...Copy !req
64. Everyone hates me.Copy !req
65. All that effort, only to be betrayed...Copy !req
66. Who needs friends, anyway?Copy !req
67. I'll just talk to myself
for the rest of my life.Copy !req
68. Moldy, I see.Copy !req
69. I've only got blue mold growing on me.Copy !req
70. White mold, must be nice.Copy !req
71. Like cutting yokan jelly with a string...Copy !req
72. Wait, is this like Naughty Puniru
with the iron filings,Copy !req
73. and the mold changed her personality?Copy !req
74. That may well be the case.Copy !req
75. Dr. Mado!Copy !req
76. Turn Puniru back to her old self!Copy !req
77. I told you not to use nicknames for teachers!Copy !req
78. My name is Hiroshi!Copy !req
79. More importantly...Copy !req
80. You've spent seven years
with this slime lifeform,Copy !req
81. and this has never happened before?Copy !req
82. Huh?Copy !req
83. Even after absorbing organic matter,
or being smothered in germs?Copy !req
84. She's never gone moldy!Copy !req
85. Not even once!Copy !req
86. Just as I thought...Copy !req
87. I know what caused this!Copy !req
88. What? Really?Copy !req
89. First, this slime lifeform doesn't
have a physical nucleus or brain.Copy !req
90. But observations show it's capable
of more than simple reflexes,Copy !req
91. and possesses nearly human intelligence.Copy !req
92. My hypothesis is that it contains a metaphysical
nucleus, which acts as a pseudo-brain.Copy !req
93. With that said, despite changing shape
when mixing in materials,Copy !req
94. why does it not transform
after regular food intake?Copy !req
95. One can surmise that this is the work of
an intangible nucleus giving commands!Copy !req
96. Hey!Copy !req
97. They're gone!Copy !req
98. Why, you!Copy !req
99. Don't leave in the middle
of my important explanation!Copy !req
100. But it was so long and boring!Copy !req
101. Make it snappy!Copy !req
102. S-See?Copy !req
103. No one's interested in me at all.Copy !req
104. I just proved exactly how interested I am!Copy !req
105. To sum it up!Copy !req
106. Her personality didn't change
because she grew mold.Copy !req
107. The causality is reversed.Copy !req
108. To put it in terms you can
understand with your grades...Copy !req
109. She's just down in the dumps!Copy !req
110. What?Copy !req
111. P-Puniru?Copy !req
112. The one who always spins
the truth to suit herself?Copy !req
113. Not a chance!Copy !req
114. Why's she down in the dumps?Copy !req
115. Did she find out I ate her share
of pudding at snack time?Copy !req
116. That I blamed her after
I knocked over the tea?Copy !req
117. Oh, no! There are so many things it could be!Copy !req
118. I-Is it because I'm not cute?Copy !req
119. Let me just ask. Why are you feeling down?Copy !req
120. Because R-Runrune...Copy !req
121. C-Could it be?Copy !req
122. Is it because I was talking with Okanega
about how to make Runrune cuter?Copy !req
123. My bad, Puniru.Copy !req
124. I didn't think you'd take it so hard.Copy !req
125. Sorry! I apologize!Copy !req
126. Forgive—Copy !req
127. Runrune!Copy !req
128. Why won't you say anything to me?Copy !req
129. I can't believe you'd
just ignore me like this!Copy !req
130. I thought we were friends!Copy !req
131. Her battery just ran out!Copy !req
132. Mm.Copy !req
133. Time to do the Kyuthi-chan dance!Copy !req
134. Let's all dance along!Copy !req
135. Yeah!Copy !req
136. Number one in the world!Copy !req
137. Kyuthi-chan!Copy !req
138. Runrune and Puniru are both fine now.Copy !req
139. Everyone's friend!Copy !req
140. Kyuthi-chan!Copy !req
141. I regret saying sorry.Copy !req
142. Anytime, anywhere!Copy !req
143. Kyuthi-chan!Copy !req
144. Kotaro!Copy !req
145. Are we not doing that thing this year?Copy !req
146. Huh? What thing?Copy !req
147. Tanabata! Paper slips! Bamboo!Copy !req
148. It's your big chance to make a wish!Copy !req
149. No, thanks.Copy !req
150. I'm too old to believe in that stuff.Copy !req
151. I'm...Copy !req
152. still young enough for it!Copy !req
153. I've got homework to do! Get out!Copy !req
154. What's the big idea?Copy !req
155. You were just eating popsicles
and reading Plum News!Copy !req
156. Time to use the trick up my sleeve!Copy !req
157. Mom!Copy !req
158. Kotaro's bullying me again!Copy !req
159. Hmph, hmph!Copy !req
160. I swear...Copy !req
161. Huh?Copy !req
162. Puniru...Copy !req
163. I can't make that happen, Kotaro-kun!Copy !req
164. I really wish you'd talk like normal with me.Copy !req
165. If it doesn't please Milady,
the creator of Runrune-sama,Copy !req
166. then it holds no value to begin with.Copy !req
167. Pretty heartless for someone
in the business of selling dreams.Copy !req
168. You can't create good products
if you're too sentimental.Copy !req
169. That's right.Copy !req
170. The same goes for that ribbon.Copy !req
171. What's more, that item
is already slated to be recalled.Copy !req
172. Recalled? No way!Copy !req
173. If Runrune gets recalled,
Puniru's gonna lose it again!Copy !req
174. I need to stop it!Copy !req
175. Puniru!Copy !req
176. Puniru!Copy !req
177. Puniru!Copy !req
178. Kotaro!Copy !req
179. Where are your manners?Copy !req
180. Wh-What?Copy !req
181. Ta-da!Copy !req
182. Kawaii Etiquette Coach Puniru!Copy !req
183. Knock three times before entering a room!Copy !req
184. Once you get permission to enter,
say, "Excuse me!"Copy !req
185. Yusuke!Copy !req
186. When playing with toys like me,
it's polite to wash your hands first!Copy !req
187. Runrune-chan.Copy !req
188. Have you learned to love me yet?Copy !req
189. It's polite not to covet your friends' toys!Copy !req
190. Puniru-chan's grown so much...Copy !req
191. Mommy's so proud!Copy !req
192. It's polite not to act like you're my mom!Copy !req
193. Ask others for favors with etiquette in mind!Copy !req
194. Runrune, you need to learn manners
in order to make up with Alice!Copy !req
195. What the heck did my mom tell you?Copy !req
196. Runrune, don't wait for
Alice to apologize to you.Copy !req
197. You need to say sorry first!Copy !req
198. Go on!Copy !req
199. That's too much to ask!Copy !req
200. Puniru-chan's learning a good lesson
from playing with her dolls.Copy !req
201. Listen up!Copy !req
202. I'm here to teach you cute
etiquette for an apology!Copy !req
203. Uh-huh...Copy !req
204. Teach us, Puniru-sensei!Copy !req
205. Cute etiquette says to place
your fist on your foreheadCopy !req
206. at a 45-degree angle for an apology.Copy !req
207. Tee-hee-puni!Copy !req
208. Be serious here!Copy !req
209. If that doesn't work...Copy !req
210. Cute etiquette says to close one eye
and stick out your tongue.Copy !req
211. Puni-sorry!Copy !req
212. More like etiquette to annoy people!Copy !req
213. Okay, Runrune!Copy !req
214. Pretend I'm Alice, and apologize
just like I taught you!Copy !req
215. Time to do the Kyuthi-chan dance!Copy !req
216. Punya!Copy !req
217. Shaking your butt at someone is bad manners!Copy !req
218. First and foremost,
everything you do is rude!Copy !req
219. It's really great that you want to apologize.Copy !req
220. But maybe it'd be best to be
a little more stiff and formal.Copy !req
221. That pantsuit's so cute!Copy !req
222. I love it!Copy !req
223. Stiff...Copy !req
224. I get it.Copy !req
225. Here I go...Copy !req
226. Bow at a 90-degree angle!Copy !req
227. Apologize with both hands on your knees!Copy !req
228. A stiff, 90-degree apology!Copy !req
229. Hey, your body just snapped!Copy !req
230. Punya...Copy !req
231. I mixed in too much borax
to try and become stiffer!Copy !req
232. Oh, that was fun!Copy !req
233. That apology from yesterday would never fly.Copy !req
234. But I can't think of any good ideas to help
them make up, no matter how hard I try.Copy !req
235. If Runrune really gets recalled...Copy !req
236. Runrune, I'll buy you
whatever your heart desires!Copy !req
237. Thanks, Alice-chan!Copy !req
238. Runrune's so happy to hear that!Copy !req
239. Oh!Copy !req
240. How do you do, Kawaii?Copy !req
241. How do you do?Copy !req
242. Wait, did Runrune really turn human?Copy !req
243. Indeed she did, Kawaii-sama.Copy !req
244. What?Copy !req
245. Runrune-sama has really
turned human this time!Copy !req
246. Runrune is Alice-chan's friend!Copy !req
247. Look at that, everything worked out!Copy !req
248. Yes, it did!Copy !req
249. Kotaro!Copy !req
250. Don't be fooled!Copy !req
251. This is the real Runrune!Copy !req
252. I saved her from being kidnapped by a truck!Copy !req
253. Oh, no!Copy !req
254. Don't tell me you're...Copy !req
255. Sorry, I didn't quite get that.Copy !req
256. No!Copy !req
257. The typical AI reply when it can't respond!Copy !req
258. The hi-tech robot we spent
so much time and money building,Copy !req
259. Deluxe Runrune, has turned
into a failure in an instant!Copy !req
260. All you did was make a new one?Copy !req
261. Alice, you unfaithful little girl!Copy !req
262. Wh-What do you mean, unfaithful?Copy !req
263. They may both be toys, but
this Runrune's true to my concept!Copy !req
264. All that cheap Kyuthi-chan can do
is stand there and shake its hips!Copy !req
265. Does that mean you're
gonna throw Runrune away?Copy !req
266. Just because you don't like it?Copy !req
267. Because it's a wretched phony.Copy !req
268. Which one is the real Runrune here?Copy !req
269. Why don't we find out?Copy !req
270. Welcome to the very first Runrune Grand Prix!Copy !req
271. Wait, what'd you say?Copy !req
272. Who's the most Runrune of them all?Copy !req
273. I'll be acting as judge today,Copy !req
274. along with our special judge, Kawaii!Copy !req
275. Wh-Why me?Copy !req
276. Entry number one! Runrune!Copy !req
277. I'm Runrune!Copy !req
278. Happy to be here!Copy !req
279. Entry number two! Runrune!Copy !req
280. She's making her way to the
stage with her assistant!Copy !req
281. Let's talk with Kyuthi-chan!Copy !req
282. Hey wait, they're all Runrune!Copy !req
283. Entry number three! Runrune!Copy !req
284. What's Puniru doing here?Copy !req
285. Wh-Who's that?Copy !req
286. I-I'm Runrune!Copy !req
287. Are you a proxy test taker?Copy !req
288. Entry number four! Runrune!Copy !req
289. You're a part of this, too?Copy !req
290. I've been supervised by Milady herself.Copy !req
291. The real Runrune-sama dwells inside me!Copy !req
292. Leave it to Runrune!Copy !req
293. I'm gonna take the win here
at this Runrune tournament!Copy !req
294. Aren't you an assistant?Copy !req
295. Don't make things any more confusing!Copy !req
296. For our first contest, we have a Runrune quiz!Copy !req
297. Say it with me!Copy !req
298. Power!Copy !req
299. Why are you the emcee?Copy !req
300. The first question is, "What does
Runrune hold dearest to her?"Copy !req
301. Her friend, Alice-chan.Copy !req
302. That's correct!Copy !req
303. Shaking her butt!Copy !req
304. You're wrong!Copy !req
305. Her special attack!Copy !req
306. That's what you like, Nanpa.Copy !req
307. Sorry, I didn't quite get that.Copy !req
308. What's this?Copy !req
309. The favorite to win, entry number one
Runrune, is throwing in the towel!Copy !req
310. This behavior pattern was completely
unexpected, so we didn't implement it.Copy !req
311. The Runrune quiz ended with
Hodai in the overwhelming lead.Copy !req
312. This is nothing but a warm-up!Copy !req
313. Time for our main event,
the cute swimsuit contest!Copy !req
314. Time to make our big comeback!Copy !req
315. This is a haute couture swimsuit
designed by a grand couturier!Copy !req
316. Why'd you make her wear a boy's swimsuit?Copy !req
317. Huh?Copy !req
318. What's wrong with my swimsuit?Copy !req
319. I feel sorry for her!Copy !req
320. Give her a swimsuit for girls!Copy !req
321. I don't have any of those.Copy !req
322. Everyone's started treating her as a
real girl without even thinking about it.Copy !req
323. I wonder why.Copy !req
324. For this contest, we'll add the audience votes
on top of the points they already have!Copy !req
325. A landslide win for us!Copy !req
326. Puniru!Copy !req
327. Now do you see who the real Runrune is?Copy !req
328. Huh?Copy !req
329. Ta-da!Copy !req
330. Here we are!Copy !req
331. The stars of the show!Copy !req
332. Swimsuit Kawaii Puniru!Copy !req
333. And Runrune, of course!Copy !req
334. What's this?Copy !req
335. The crowd goes wild
for their surprise entrance!Copy !req
336. The Chomolungma of cute!Copy !req
337. Winner of the Nobel Cute Prize!Copy !req
338. A moe girl version of a sea angel!Copy !req
339. The next big wave of cute!Copy !req
340. Punya!Copy !req
341. That wink could achieve world peace!Copy !req
342. An angel in a swimsuit has descended upon us!Copy !req
343. I don't believe it!Copy !req
344. Entry number three has taken first place
with an astounding lead!Copy !req
345. But this is Puniru-chan, no doubt about it!Copy !req
346. Disqualified!Copy !req
347. Punya!Copy !req
348. I forgot about my disguise!Copy !req
349. The winner is Runrune number two!Copy !req
350. Victory!Copy !req
351. Runrune! Runrune!Copy !req
352. Runrune!Copy !req
353. Runrune! Runrune!Copy !req
354. Why's that wretched thing
beating out the real thing?Copy !req
355. Hey, Okanega...Copy !req
356. Everyone likes the old Runrune,Copy !req
357. so why not forget about getting a new one,Copy !req
358. and make up with the original Runrune?Copy !req
359. So what?Copy !req
360. Kawaii, does that mean...Copy !req
361. just because everyone
likes this wretched thing,Copy !req
362. you'd treat it as the real Puniru?Copy !req
363. Wh-What?Copy !req
364. There's no way I'd do that.Copy !req
365. Well, there you have it!Copy !req
366. This thing isn't Runrune!Copy !req
367. Milady!Copy !req
368. Phony!Copy !req
369. Your Kyuthi-chan fortune!Copy !req
370. Phony! Phony! Phony!Copy !req
371. Congrats! Excellent luck!Copy !req
372. I came up with her to be my friend!Copy !req
373. But no one will accept her as Runrune!Copy !req
374. Your Kyuthi-chan fortune!Copy !req
375. Stop calling this phony Runrune!Copy !req
376. Mediocre luck!Copy !req
377. Don't make me call this phony Runrune!Copy !req
378. Your Kyuthi-chan fortune!Copy !req
379. Don't take my precious friend away from me!Copy !req
380. Sorry.Copy !req
381. What?Copy !req
382. Looks like bad luck.Copy !req
383. Alice is shocked after getting bad luck.Copy !req
384. C'mon, now...Copy !req
385. Okanega's in shock because
Runrune's not like you.Copy !req
386. Punyu?Copy !req
387. Sure, she can talk, and has a hi-tech AI...Copy !req
388. But you're the only toy that's alive!Copy !req
389. Not that you have the
brain cells to understand!Copy !req
390. Wait, Kotaro...Copy !req
391. You talk to Kyuthi all the time!Copy !req
392. What?Copy !req
393. Last night, this morning...Copy !req
394. What?Copy !req
395. Shut up, shut up, shut up!Copy !req
396. Milady.Copy !req
397. That's... my plushie...Copy !req
398. I do apologize!Copy !req
399. All this happened because I acted out of line!Copy !req
400. Punish me however you see fit!Copy !req
401. It's not your fault, Hodai.Copy !req
402. All this time, Runrune was
my friend the way she was.Copy !req
403. My Runrune is right here.Copy !req
404. Schoolwide... no, worldwide!Copy !req
405. I'll spare no effort to continue to expand
the reach of Runrune's cuteness!Copy !req
406. That's the Milady I know!Copy !req
407. If that wretched phony
is so important to you all...Copy !req
408. As long as you agree to give it
a name other than Runrune,Copy !req
409. I don't mind canceling the recall!Copy !req
410. A different name?Copy !req
411. All right!Copy !req
412. How about Ultra Mouse Emerat?Copy !req
413. In that case...Copy !req
414. I say Runru!Copy !req
415. It ends in "ru," just like my name!Copy !req
416. Runru...Copy !req
417. A fitting name for something
inferior to Runrune.Copy !req
418. That makes Alice and Runru friends!Copy !req
419. I never said I'd be friends with Runru.Copy !req
420. But...Copy !req
421. If Runru groveled at my feet and asked,Copy !req
422. maybe I'd do her the favor
of making her my friend!Copy !req
423. Punya...Copy !req
424. Your Kyuthi-chan fortune!Copy !req
425. We both have it rough, having
friends who can't be honest, huh?Copy !req
426. Congrats! Excellent luck!Copy !req
427. Ta-da...Copy !req
428. Less Kawaii than All the Garbage
in the World Puniru!Copy !req
429. So that's how you feel about me?Copy !req
430. You called yourself that!Copy !req
431. Here, have this soda float and cheer up.Copy !req
432. Muddy water's all I deserve...Copy !req
433. She's hopeless!Copy !req
