3. The students of Lime Private Junior HighCopy !req
4. are full of enthusiasm
for culture as we speak!Copy !req
5. And so, by majority vote,Copy !req
6. The class activity for Class 2-A
will be a rest area.Copy !req
7. Hey!Copy !req
8. Are none of you excited for this?Copy !req
9. You just wanna see
everyone cosplay, don't you?Copy !req
10. Sheesh.Copy !req
11. I mean, everyone's busy
with their club exhibits.Copy !req
12. The class activity can be
for whoever wants to join in!Copy !req
13. She sells seashells... I agree!Copy !req
14. That's how it is, committee chair.Copy !req
15. You clowns!Copy !req
16. Forcing maid costumes on the people who
don't want to wear them is the best part!Copy !req
17. Wait, "kawaii studio"?Copy !req
18. Who suggested this one?Copy !req
19. Me!Copy !req
20. Me!Copy !req
21. Me!Copy !req
22. Me! Me! Me!Copy !req
23. By majority vote, kawaii studio wins!Copy !req
24. Yay!Copy !req
25. Puniru-chan!Copy !req
26. You're not a student here!Copy !req
27. And what's a "kawaii studio"?Copy !req
28. A place where you can watch me be cute,
and relax if you're tired!Copy !req
29. Pu pu!Copy !req
30. Pretty clever, if I say so myself.Copy !req
31. 2-A's activity will be a rest area, then.Copy !req
32. Isn't that just a rest area?Copy !req
33. Okay, time to leave.Copy !req
34. Kotaro!Copy !req
35. Aren't you excited for the school festival?Copy !req
36. No, I was gonna ditch the school festival...Copy !req
37. Punya?Copy !req
38. I mean, it's just a pain in the butt!Copy !req
39. Why's that?Copy !req
40. Kotaro-chan's like that sometimes.Copy !req
41. He's not in a school club.Copy !req
42. He never studies, either!Copy !req
43. That reminds me,
he always used to be a loner.Copy !req
44. I mean, well...Copy !req
45. The only thing Kotaro has going
for him is Puniru-chan.Copy !req
46. Totally.Copy !req
47. H-How rude!Copy !req
48. Stop talking trash about me like that!Copy !req
49. That's not true at all!Copy !req
50. Alice Okanega!Copy !req
51. For my future...Copy !req
52. I need you, Kawaii!Copy !req
53. Let's get outta here.Copy !req
54. Huh?Copy !req
55. Been fooling around with Alice
behind our backs, huh?Copy !req
56. Pu?Copy !req
57. Th-That's not it!Copy !req
58. Sorry, Okanega, but my heart
is already set on Kirara-senpai...Copy !req
59. Hey!Copy !req
60. Don't you go and get the wrong idea now!Copy !req
61. Huh?Copy !req
62. Actually, over summer vacation...Copy !req
63. I had the rare chance to meet Grandfather,Copy !req
64. so I tried asking him!Copy !req
65. Grandfather!Copy !req
66. Let me take over the
Kyuthi Land Company already!Copy !req
67. But he said that I wasn't ready yet.Copy !req
68. Grandfather...Copy !req
69. And so, to earn Grandfather's approval,Copy !req
70. I decided to build Runrune Land
in locations all over the country!Copy !req
71. To that end, starting today,Copy !req
72. I hereby appoint you as my right-hand man!Copy !req
73. M-Me?Copy !req
74. A Kyuthi expert like you, unrivaled in Kyuthi
knowledge, is the best fit for the job!Copy !req
75. H-Hm?Copy !req
76. Th-The way I see it, all I did
was know about the obvious.Copy !req
77. Kyuthi-chan is common
knowledge worldwide, anyway.Copy !req
78. Hidebu!Copy !req
79. No! Nope! Not a chance!Copy !req
80. Ta-da!Copy !req
81. Many-Armed Kawaii Puniru!Copy !req
82. I'll make the boo-boo go away.Copy !req
83. When I become super-popular, Kotaro's going
to carry my bags for me, so not happening!Copy !req
84. No, I won't!Copy !req
85. Carry them yourself
if you've got all those arms!Copy !req
86. So I won't...Copy !req
87. let him become Alice's right hand!Copy !req
88. That's not what "right-hand man" means!Copy !req
89. It's a term for a trusty assistant!Copy !req
90. Punya!Copy !req
91. Kotaro, what about Puniruland?Copy !req
92. Beats me!Copy !req
93. You're the one who made all that up!Copy !req
94. Besides, I don't want to work for
someone who has me carrying bags.Copy !req
95. Pumumu...Copy !req
96. In the future...Copy !req
97. I'll become popular enough
to surpass Kyuthi herself!Copy !req
98. I can't go losing to Runrune Land!Copy !req
99. My Puniruland against Alice's Runrune Land.Copy !req
100. Why don't we see whose
school festival exhibit is more popular?Copy !req
101. The winner gets to have Kotaro carry her bags!Copy !req
102. Come and face me!Copy !req
103. Bring it on!Copy !req
104. Wait, don't go deciding all that
without my permission!Copy !req
105. Ugh, look at him living it up.Copy !req
106. Fighting over Kotaro,Copy !req
107. Alice and Puniru decide to face off
at the school festival.Copy !req
108. Meanwhile, as the festival
approaches, Kotaro was...Copy !req
109. Welcome, Kawaii.Copy !req
110. This is where you live, Okanega?Copy !req
111. This mansion is an annex that
was built just for Lady Alice.Copy !req
112. Welcome home, Milady.Copy !req
113. Maids? The real deal?Copy !req
114. As my assistant, I give you special
permission to enter my home.Copy !req
115. I never said I'd be your assistant!Copy !req
116. I must say, why do you look like a slob?Copy !req
117. With your long, unkempt hair,
and that sweater you always wear.Copy !req
118. L-Looking nice is such a pain in the butt!Copy !req
119. Wh-Who cares?Copy !req
120. I care!Copy !req
121. Hodai!Copy !req
122. Yes, Milady!Copy !req
123. Hey!Copy !req
124. What are you doing?Copy !req
125. Let go of me!Copy !req
126. Puni, puni, puni...Copy !req
127. That lousy Kotaro!Copy !req
128. Going to Alice's house to play
without telling me!Copy !req
129. Not fair!Copy !req
130. Okay, what cute form should I take on today?Copy !req
131. I'm going to be mixing in this black ink...Copy !req
132. Spy Puniru... Ninja Puniru...Copy !req
133. Seriously?Copy !req
134. Punya?Copy !req
135. I hear Kotaro.Copy !req
136. What's with this getup?Copy !req
137. Punya!Copy !req
138. Kotaro's changed forms!Copy !req
139. That's my bread and butter!Copy !req
140. Don't make me wear this embarrassing outfit!Copy !req
141. It's our dress code!Copy !req
142. Hmph, you look a lot sharper now!Copy !req
143. As a special treat,
I'm inviting you to today's tea party.Copy !req
144. Tea party?Copy !req
145. My dear friends will be
attending the tea party,Copy !req
146. so any uncivil conduct like earlier
will not be tolerated.Copy !req
147. Seriously?Copy !req
148. Okanega's friends...Copy !req
149. Here we are.Copy !req
150. Thud!Copy !req
151. You meant your plushies?Copy !req
152. Oh, what's wrong with that?Copy !req
153. H-Hey now!Copy !req
154. Playing make-believe with plushies...Copy !req
155. is just absolutely adorable!Copy !req
156. Isn't it, though?Copy !req
157. You really get it, Kawaii!Copy !req
158. You already have me, but you're
fawning over Kyuthi and Runrune...Copy !req
159. Hmph, hmph!Copy !req
160. Everyone says you have nothing going for you,Copy !req
161. but I can bring out your true talent!Copy !req
162. We'll begin by having you
work for me as a live-in employee.Copy !req
163. You don't need to attend school, either.Copy !req
164. What?Copy !req
165. I'll have you research cute things and
amusement parks around the world,Copy !req
166. and come up with plenty
of ideas for Runrune Land.Copy !req
167. I have high hopes for you.Copy !req
168. Punyahaha!Copy !req
169. Alice doesn't understand
the first thing about Kotaro!Copy !req
170. Kotaro may like cute things,
but he hates things that are a pain!Copy !req
171. There's no way he'd take on
such a demanding job!Copy !req
172. What a pain in the butt.Copy !req
173. Such a pain...Copy !req
174. Ah, what a pain!Copy !req
175. Well, maybe if it was a job where he could
goof off all day instead of studying...Copy !req
176. Thanks, Okanega!Copy !req
177. I'll become your assistant!Copy !req
178. No way...Copy !req
179. I've never seen this side of Kotaro.Copy !req
180. I thought I knew everything about Kotaro,Copy !req
181. but maybe I don't know anything about him.Copy !req
182. I see.Copy !req
183. So it's a job where I make money
goofing off all day instead of studying!Copy !req
184. What a piece of cake!Copy !req
185. Maybe I could even marry into Okanega's familyCopy !req
186. and take full ownership of Kyuthi-chan!Copy !req
187. Milady is already betrothed to another,
so please don't get any funny ideas.Copy !req
188. O-Oh, please!Copy !req
189. I would never!Copy !req
190. Milady.Copy !req
191. We must be on our way for story time soon.Copy !req
192. Oh, dear.Copy !req
193. Story time?Copy !req
194. I always get to hear all the
fun stories about Kyuthi Land.Copy !req
195. Huh!Copy !req
196. You see, once upon a time...Copy !req
197. Uh-huh.Copy !req
198. There lived a grandma and a grandpa.Copy !req
199. Go on.Copy !req
200. There really were!Copy !req
201. Oh!Copy !req
202. Isn't that something?Copy !req
203. Sounds like fun!Copy !req
204. The Kyuthi Land Company saw
a steady recurring profit in H1.Copy !req
205. This is how Milady is steadily gaining the
knowledge she needs for management.Copy !req
206. It's really fun!Copy !req
207. I think I'll have to pass.Copy !req
208. Kawaii-sama, as Milady's assistant,
you mustn't besmirch her name.Copy !req
209. You'll be given extensive
lessons on the matter.Copy !req
210. What a pain in the butt!Copy !req
211. I'll never become your assistant!Copy !req
212. Kawaii-sama!Copy !req
213. K-Kawaii!Copy !req
214. I will not allow you to turn down
my personal invitation!Copy !req
215. I'll make sure I win
during the school festival!Copy !req
216. Carrying bags for Puniru
is a zillion times better!Copy !req
217. I need to do all I can so Puniru
wins at the school festival!Copy !req
218. We will hereby commence the match
between Milady and Puniru-sama,Copy !req
219. with the right to make Kawaii-sama
carry one's bags on the line.Copy !req
220. Whoever attracts the most
customers will be the winner.Copy !req
221. Begin the match!Copy !req
222. If Puniru loses, I'll be forced to
work for life under Okanega!Copy !req
223. Puniru!Copy !req
224. You've gotta beat Okanega!Copy !req
225. Wait, how come you're not into it?Copy !req
226. I can beat Alice with just one cute leg.Copy !req
227. Be serious here!Copy !req
228. Okanega's studied a lot more
than we could ever imagine!Copy !req
229. If you don't get serious, you won't beat her!Copy !req
230. I've got this in the bag, so nuts to trying.Copy !req
231. Listen to me, Puniru!Copy !req
232. I'm ditching the festival, too!Copy !req
233. Runru, let's go and have some fun!Copy !req
234. Puniru!Copy !req
235. Your Kyuthi-chan fortune!Copy !req
236. Don't you care what happens to me?Copy !req
237. There.Copy !req
238. Looks like I fooled Kotaro.Copy !req
239. Mix up some borax and starch...Copy !req
240. I'll add some clear rhinestones this time!Copy !req
241. Punya!Copy !req
242. Ta-da!Copy !req
243. Kawaii Group of Alice and Company!Copy !req
244. Huh?Copy !req
245. Was Hodai the only one in a maid uniform?Copy !req
246. Well, who cares?Copy !req
247. Everyone!Copy !req
248. Alice's Runrune Land
is a hundred times more fun!Copy !req
249. Lady Alice as a maid with cat ears?Copy !req
250. That really gets me going!Copy !req
251. I need to check it out!Copy !req
252. Head this way to Runrune Land
for even more fun!Copy !req
253. Please serve me with a condescending look!Copy !req
254. Time to get this ultra-rare five-star SSR!Copy !req
255. Time to do the Kyuthi-chan dance!Copy !req
256. This is for the best, Runru.Copy !req
257. I didn't realize it, but Kotaro
found something he wants to do.Copy !req
258. Which is why I want to support his dream.Copy !req
259. I'll let Alice win, so Kotaro can
cross the bridge to his dream!Copy !req
260. My future's on the line here.Copy !req
261. But I can't win by myself!Copy !req
262. The only thing Kotaro has going
for him is Puniru-chan.Copy !req
263. I guess I did make Puniru
prepare everything for this.Copy !req
264. I didn't lift a finger.Copy !req
265. I don't need you here, you lazybones!Copy !req
266. Maybe Puniru's had enough of me!Copy !req
267. No way, as if.Copy !req
268. Heck, if I really tried...Copy !req
269. No, let's not go that far.Copy !req
270. I'd never be able to live it down.Copy !req
271. Besides, no one else in class wanted to try.Copy !req
272. If I was the only one all fired up,Copy !req
273. I'm sure they'd all laugh at me
in secret for being a dork.Copy !req
274. Dang it all.Copy !req
275. Why do I have to do all this?Copy !req
276. What a pain.Copy !req
277. I'll strike up some cute poses.Copy !req
278. How about changing what cute pose
I make every ten minutes?Copy !req
279. Dang it!Copy !req
280. This is all Puniru's fault!Copy !req
281. W-We're running a kawaii studio!Copy !req
282. U-Um, we have chairs, so if you're
tired from walking, come right in!Copy !req
283. A rest area?Copy !req
284. No, thanks.Copy !req
285. Kawaii studio here!Copy !req
286. Please!Copy !req
287. Kotaro?Copy !req
288. Why's he trying to attract customers for me?Copy !req
289. Okanega!Copy !req
290. You don't have to tell me.Copy !req
291. I know I'm pathetic.Copy !req
292. I ran away from you, Puniru got sick of me,Copy !req
293. and even when I give it my all,
I can't attract a single customer.Copy !req
294. I'm such a dork!Copy !req
295. Still...Copy !req
296. I'd be even more of a dork
if I don't help Puniru out!Copy !req
297. Kotaro...Copy !req
298. So I'd rather try and be laughed at!Copy !req
299. Laugh at me all you want!Copy !req
300. I wouldn't laugh at you.Copy !req
301. Nobody would.Copy !req
302. I could never laugh at someone
trying their best for a friend.Copy !req
303. You're laughing right now!Copy !req
304. Puniru!Copy !req
305. This is all your doing, isn't it?Copy !req
306. What? Okanega?Copy !req
307. Ah! You're Puniru!Copy !req
308. I-I wasn't trying to trick you or anything!Copy !req
309. Every single person who visited...Copy !req
310. How come there aren't
any maids with cat ears?Copy !req
311. Eh?Copy !req
312. No one asked for an authentic maid...Copy !req
313. Eh?Copy !req
314. I'll sue you for false advertising!Copy !req
315. What?Copy !req
316. They all left saying that!Copy !req
317. Since neither of you got any
customers, this match is a draw.Copy !req
318. Punya?Copy !req
319. Wait a minute!Copy !req
320. What's that crowded stall outside?Copy !req
321. Oh, if it isn't Puniru-chan and Kawaii-kun.Copy !req
322. Kirara-senpai... and everyone from class?Copy !req
323. Order of three yakisobas.Copy !req
324. What are you all doing?Copy !req
325. You're even wearing a maid uniform.Copy !req
326. They asked if I could help out.Copy !req
327. Ah...Copy !req
328. Kotaro, I guess you don't know
since you ditched all the prep work.Copy !req
329. Afterwards, Hone-chan made a big fuss
about how he couldn't let it end this way.Copy !req
330. I just can't accept it!Copy !req
331. We're talking about the school festival!Copy !req
332. How can you make any memories
running a rest area?Copy !req
333. I think a rest area is fine, since you can
have fun checking out other places that day.Copy !req
334. What's the point of a school festival
without a maid café?Copy !req
335. That's your problem?Copy !req
336. I just can't let it end this way!Copy !req
337. I want to live it up!Copy !req
338. And so, he convinced our classmates we should
do something else for those interested.Copy !req
339. I'll do whatever it takes to get a maid café!Copy !req
340. Heck, as long as there are maid uniforms,Copy !req
341. it could be a haunted house, a yakisoba
stand, or a giant maze for all I care!Copy !req
342. The maid uniforms are what's important!Copy !req
343. Giant maze maids?Copy !req
344. Sounds like a tongue twister!Copy !req
345. A 100% maid rule?Copy !req
346. I want a maid café!Copy !req
347. Puniru-chan, you look great!Copy !req
348. Really?Copy !req
349. Take a look!Copy !req
350. It's Maid Uniform Kawaii Puniru,
that Mami forced me to wear!Copy !req
351. We wore these for
last year's school festival.Copy !req
352. Good for you, Hone-chan.Copy !req
353. Please turn into a maid with cat ears!Copy !req
354. With actual cat ears!Copy !req
355. That's what you want?Copy !req
356. Sure thing.Copy !req
357. You want me to turn into a cat?Copy !req
358. Punya!Copy !req
359. If you could, please take the trouble
to make only the ears cat-like!Copy !req
360. Pu?Copy !req
361. Just the ears?Copy !req
362. I don't mind, but is this what you want?Copy !req
363. Well, I mean, I wouldn't mind
seeing Puniru-chan turn into a cat.Copy !req
364. But to make the most of this situation,
cosplaying for the school festival,Copy !req
365. just sticking to the ears is best!Copy !req
366. This is too complicated for me to follow!Copy !req
367. In one word, please!Copy !req
368. Moe!Copy !req
369. I'm more lost now...Copy !req
370. He means they look good
and they're cute, I think.Copy !req
371. Punya...Copy !req
372. There's still a lot more I need
to learn about cuteness.Copy !req
373. All right!Copy !req
374. Let's put these on and try
convincing our classmates again!Copy !req
375. I don't see why we need to wear them...Copy !req
376. Sounds like fun! I'll wear it, too!Copy !req
377. Oh, my. I'll join in as well.Copy !req
378. Let's all wear matching maid uniforms!Copy !req
379. And so, the school festival arrived.Copy !req
380. If we lived in an anime world,
I'd definitely be the main character.Copy !req
381. This is where my story begins!Copy !req
382. These dramatic events were
going on behind the scenes?Copy !req
383. And you missed out on it, Kotaro-chan!Copy !req
384. Listen up, Kotaro.Copy !req
385. If you don't change your ways,
you'll live your life being a side character.Copy !req
386. You're the last one I wanna hear that from!Copy !req
387. Our maid restaurant was the most
popular attraction in the whole festival!Copy !req
388. We did it!Copy !req
389. Kotaro.Copy !req
390. That means you'll carry our bags, right?Copy !req
391. Not in a million years!Copy !req
392. I won't give up on Kawaii just yet!Copy !req
393. Darn it!Copy !req
394. I'm luggage, too!Copy !req
395. Stop it!Copy !req
396. Our youth has just begun!Copy !req
397. Cute! Pricey!Copy !req
398. Alice's Toy Shopping Channel!Copy !req
399. For our product today...Copy !req
400. Punya.Copy !req
401. What are you up?Copy !req
402. Here's—Copy !req
403. Is this one of those livestream thingies?Copy !req
404. Here's—Copy !req
405. Everyone! Can you see me?Copy !req
406. It's cute li'l me!Copy !req
407. Quiet, you!Copy !req
