I can't do it.. I can't do it!!!! KYUUSAKU: What's wrong? AKIKO: Kyuusaku.. KYUUSAKU: You.. It is You, Akiko-san! AKIKO: You.. KYUUSAKU: So what's the matter Akiko-san? AKIKO: I can't do it.. please don't make me.. I mean.. [Akiko screams again] RYUNOSUKE: It's like a dream isn't it Nuku Nuku? To be living together with mom and dad. NUKU NUKU: Ryuunosuke, are you happy? RYUNOSUKE: Yup, it's all thanks to you Nuku Nuku. NUKU NUKU: That's great! RYUNOSUKE: But.. I wonder how long it'll last.. this happiness. [OP Song] "Happy Birthday to Myself" Close in on the secret, it's like a hysterical puzzle, Dance around and clap your hands, starting from today, My body is so strange, please don't turn your eyes away, A humorous process has just begun. As the wind blows, my hair flows, everything seems so radiant. When we meet, every time, Happy Birthday, With brand new body, I wave my hands, An angel is smiling, Happy Birthday I want to meet you soon, you carefree you. ---------- AKIKO: He really.. he really said that? Why.. NUKU NUKU: Yes. AKIKO: I can't believe it.. NUKU NUKU: But please believe it, mama-san. AKIKO: Yes but.. that was my dream too, so I wished for it as well.. ARISA: Would you look at that! That high-school girl android is bowing her head to her.. GIRL2: I wonder what those two are talking about. ARISA: She gets this call, and runs off so shamelessly to meet her.. GIRL2: It must be about something really important huh? ARISA: Are you curious? GIRL2: Of course! ARISA: Oh.. then will you go listen? GIRL2: What? ARISA: Yeah! GIRL2: Who me? ARISA: Yeah, here you go. GIRL2: What is this? ARISA: Suction cupped climbing gloves. AKIKO: I understand. I want to live with Ryuunosuke too. NUKU NUKU: Really? AKIKO: Akiko Natsume never breaks her promises. NUKU NUKU: But there is just one condition though.. AKIKO: A condition in return..? What is it? ARISA: This is hard! God, this is hard! AKIKO: So what is this condition you require? NUKU NUKU: Like the old days.. to be warm hearted and like a real mother. Papa san said that Ryuunosuke needs to experience the taste of a homemade meal.. he says it is vital. AKIKO: And what would he like me to do? NUKU NUKU: Nicely and gracefully, be a obedient housewife and not go against him. So of course cooking, laundry, cleaning, and so forth are all your jobs to do.. ARISA: Arisa, I'm going to activate the listening device. AKIKO: .. that Kyuusaku... NUKU NUKU: .. Papa didn't mean.. AKIKO: .. that's ENOUGH ALREADY!.. AKIKO: To think I could stand for such strict terms.. doing Ryu's laundry is something for a servant to do.. does he really think I could do that? NUKU NUKU: Yes! NUKU NUKU: For papa-san and mama-san to make up and for everyone to live together again is Ryuunosuke's dream. AKIKO: Ryuunosuke's.. dream.. Ryuunosuke. NUKU NUKU: Mama-san. AKIKO: Yes? NUKU NUKU: I think a mother's love should be with his son.. so for Ryuunsuke's sake, if you really love him, please.. Mama-san. AKIKO: I lose. NUKU NUKU: Mama-san! AKIKO: To live with Ryuunosuke has been my dream for 7 years.. that will be fine.. I'll accept those terms. NUKU NUKU: Thank you! Mama-san. AKIKO: But still.. NUKU NUKU: Yes? AKIKO: For it to finally end with an android leading us to a peaceful truce.. it's hard to imagine.. ------------ RYUNOSUKE: And so the 3 of us (me, dad, and Nuku Nuku) started living at mom's place, in the West complex. RYUNOSUKE: Hey dad, isn't this place a bit uncomfortable? KYUUSAKU: What are you talking about? Ryu-san, this a happy Japanese home. NUKU NUKU: Come on.., this is just a fake set. AKIKO: Sorry to keep you waiting. NUKU NUKU: It's breakfast! KYUUSAKU: That's where a wall would be, so please enter from this side. AKIKO: Sorry to keep you waiting. NUKU NUKU: It's breakfast! RYUNOSUKE: I've been waiting! KYUUSAKU: Well, let's see it.. AKIKO: I cooked the fish as best I could.. maybe a bit too much.. KYUUSAKU: Food is not something you have to butcher.. and natto does not require Ketchup in it! (Liner Note: Natto is a japanese soybean based food eaten with rice.) NUKU NUKU: But look, the rice is perfect. Just cooked, with a slight smell of lemon... Eh.. WHY does it smell like that? KYUUSAKU: What did you rinse the rice with? AKIKO: With lemon drop dish soap.. KYUUSAKU: Do you think it's funny making a gag out of our agreement? AKIKO: That wasn't really my intention.. KYUUSAKU: This is just pitiful.. there isn't even 1 decent thing here we can eat. That makes you unfit as a real mother. RYUNOSUKE: Instead of complaining, why don't you try it first dad? I think it tastes great, mom's cooking.. AKIKO: Ryuunosuke.. RYUNOSUKE: ..these meat & potatoes.. taste great.. try eating them dad. NUKU NUKU: Umm that.. I made that .. RYUNOSUKE: What? ARISA: Ma'am.. this is a disgrace to you.. AKIKO: Aaah.. dammit, dammit, dammit. What's the difference if I buy it or if I cook it!! ARISA: This Akiko-sama isn't like you. If it comes down to this, we should use strength in getting Ryuunosuke back. AKIKO: Yes, but.. if this life is what Ryuunosuke has been dreaming of.. ARISA: Ma'am there is something I want to show you. AKIKO: This is...? ARISA: Golem 2000. It's the latest prototype. AKIKO: It's finished already.. ARISA: Yes ma'am. We have analysed Nuku Nuku's past movement patterns and behavior and input them.. We have it programmed for a perfect match against her. With your order, we can eliminate that damned Cat Girl at any time. ARISA: Ma'am! Let's do it! Do you plan to do nothing after being made a fool of like that? ARISA: Ma'am.. AKIKO: I'm going to do the laundry then come back.. ARISA: Ma'am! AKIKO: Laundry.. laundry.. ----------- RYUNOSUKE: Is there something Great Grampa? GRAMPA: No I love it. Can you call me that again for me? RYUNOSUKE: What? GRAMPA: You said it just now.. can you say it again? Please. RYUNOSUKE: Great Grampa! GRAMPA: Yes yes.. Makes me so happy to hear you call me that. GRAMPA: Okay okay.. please come closer now. RYUNOSUKE: What's going on Great Grampa? GRAMPA: Just watch. RYUNOSUKE: Huh? NUKU NUKU: What is this? RYUNOSUKE: It's a military robot! GRAMPA: So what? How about a shooting game with these? RYUNOSUKE: No way! That's so cruel.. GRAMPA: Really.. I think it's fun.. Well how about some Sumo with these then? RYUNOSUKE: No way! GRAMPA: Then what do you want to do? RYUNOSUKE: Hmm.. let's see.. RYUNOSUKE: That's it, Parasailing! Yeah? NUKU NUKU: Yeah. GRAMPA: Hmm.. Para.. What was that? We're going to do some Para-something then? AKIKO: ..a mother duck doing her laundry... GRAMPA: Yahoo! RYUNOSUKE: Wow, that's great! That's super, great grampa!! GRAMPA: Wow, this is exciting! RYUNOSUKE: That's super, the absolute best!! Nuku Nuku, Go faster! NUKU NUKU: Okay!! GRAMPA: Aaah, that's too fast. Wait...! RYUNOSUKE: Go Nuku Nuku! NUKU NUKU: Mama-san. NUKU NUKU: Mama-san. NUKU NUKU: ..a duckling and her mother.. laundry.. ##la la la la singing some song? I can't hear it all## ARISA: Ma'am.. KYUUSAKU: I wonder if this happiness has been a brief thing like the rays of sunlight during the Winter.. Maybe we should hurry up and finish this already.. ===========================Eye Catch================================ NUKU NUKU: It's too cruel! KYUUSAKU: Hmm? NUKU NUKU: Working every single day.. she doesn't even have time to play with Ryuunosuke.. if it's going to be like this, I don't understand why mama-san agreed to live with Ryuunosuke. NUKU NUKU: Papa-san. KYUUSAKU: Yeah.. KYUUSAKU: Nuku Nuku, this is a test. For the first time in her life, that selfish, arrogant Akiko-san is sacrificing and exerting herself for the sake of something she loves. When she finally overcomes this test, she will surely become a stronger person inside and out. KYUUSAKU: In all, Akiko will be able to love, and love in return. Do you understand, Nuku Nuku? NUKU NUKU: I'm sorry, Papa-san. I didn't realize what you were thinking.. KYUUSAKU: But anyhow Nuku Nuku, to see it as cruel, and to even be able to feel pity must mean you've become a really wonderful person! NUKU NUKU: Really? ---------- ARISA: You were all I'd ever aspired to be Ma'am. Clever, noble, beautiful, and you had the strength to never give in to a man.. ARISA: But right now, you're not the same.. you've lost your pride and identity to a man. I can't stand to see you like this. Thus, I am leaving on a long journey. Farewell Akiko-sama, have a happy life.. ARISA ON TAPE: ..from your humble Akiko.. AKIKO: Why?! Why can't she understand.. I just want to live together with Ryunosuke... ARISA ON TAPE: PS. AKIKO: What? ARISA ON TAPE: I will just say one thing. I think you should be aware that you are being forced into housework, thus you will never have time to spend with Ryunosuke. AKIKO: WHAT? ARISA: In other words, your situation now is no different than living apart. ARISA: To sum it up, it will be the same as before. AKIKO: It won't be any different?! The same as before!!!? AKIKO: You bastard.. you've played with Akiko Natsume long enough. You'll pay for this! NUKU NUKU: Here...... it comes! GRAMPA: Nice one, nice one! NUKU NUKU: Alright, here comes another! RYUNOSUKE: Okay, I'm ready! NUKU NUKU: Great Grampa, Ryunosuke, get away from there! NUKU NUKU: Watch out! GRAMPA: That's our company's, Golem 2000. AKIKO: Nuku Nuku, you and Kyusaku had quite a time playing around with me! This humiliation.. I'll return to you, a million-fold worse! RYUNOSUKE: Mo.. Mom.. AKIKO: Here I come, cat girl! NUKU NUKU: Wait, mama-san! AKIKO: No excuses! NUKU NUKU: Misunderstanding.. it's a misunderstanding! RYUNOSUKE: Stop it! Stop it mom! AKIKO: Ryunosuke.. RYUNOSUKE: Stop it! Stop it mom! Why.. why can't we just live on like this? RYUNOSUKE: Your cooking, it's gotten good! The room you've cleaned for me, it's comfortable now! The clothes you've washed smell nice! All of this.. the sense of home is because of you! AKIKO: Ryunosuke.. RYUNOSUKE: Because I could live with you, mom.. I got to sense it.. Because Nuku Nuku was here, we were able to live together. Even with that.. even still you see her as the enemy! NUKU NUKU: Ryunosuke. RYUNOSUKE: That kind of mother.. I can't stand!!! AKIKO: Can't stand me? Ryunosuke hates me? AKIKO: I understand Ryunosuke.. I don't want to be hated by you.. but.. Mom doesn't want to be worked to the point of suicide.. this last month, I wasn't myself. That was your.. no, it was Kyusaku and Nuku Nuku's false vision which they forced onto me.. AKIKO: I am now returning to my true self.. and Nuku Nuku. NUKU NUKU: Yes? AKIKO: I will battle with you, and win Ryunosuke back. AKIKO: And with my true self, I will give my love to Ryunosuke. RYUNOSUKE: Mom.. AKIKO: Get out of the way Ryunosuke! Here I come cat-girl, with the love of a mother for her son! I'll show you! KYUSAKU: This day has finally come.. I'd better hurry up and give it to her.. AKIKO: Please accept these.. "Mother's Love" missiles! KYUSAKU: She's here! KYUSAKU: What the..? GRAMPA: It's not like I don't understand her feelings.. RYUNOSUKE: What..? Great Grampa.. GRAMPA: It's better to let them fight it out until they get sick of it.. it's on our property, so it's not much of a fuss. RYUNOSUKE: Gre.. Great.. Great Grampa. AKIKO: Stop moving around and dodging me like that, and fight me face to face! NUKU NUKU: I can't do that to you, mama-san! AKIKO: God... How long are you going to play stupid!? DIE!! NUKU NUKU: Huh? A mouse!! AKIKO: I'm making the necessary adjustments to hit you, so there's no sense in running. NUKU NUKU: Here I come! KYUSAKU: Nuku Nuku! Use this! NUKU NUKU: Hold on. NUKU NUKU: Papa-san! KYUSAKU: There's no need to hold back any further. Use this. NUKU NUKU: What's this? KYUSAKU: It was designed to link up with you. You're the only one who can use it, Nuku Nuku. NUKU NUKU: I can't do any more than I've already done to mama-san! KYUSAKU: What? That's regrettable... You've always been able to help me, but in this emergency I guess I can't use you as my weapon.. KYUSAKU: Well then! NUKU NUKU: This is..? KYUSAKU: I made it just in case, to substitute for Nuku Nuku, it's "Mini-Nuku!" AKIKO: You bastard Kyusaku, you came to get in my way again didn't you!? KYUSAKU: Get down! NUKU NUKU: But.. KYUSAKU: It's okay! NUKU NUKU: Okay. AKIKO: You always, always get in my way! I'll kill you! --------------------- NUKU NUKU: Papa-san! KYUSAKU: Yes, it's the Inorganic Substance Destroying Rifle. It can't do any harm to a human being. KYUSAKU: Aa.. Akiko! NUKU NUKU: Mama-san! RYUNOSUKE: Mom! AKIKO: Now you've really done it. Here I come Kyusaku! KYUSAKU: Stop it Akiko! AKIKO: You're not getting away that easy, playing with me like that.. I'll teach you! NUKU NUKU: Mama-san, please... RYUNOSUKE: It's okay, Nuku Nuku. Take a look.. at those two. KYUSAKU: No, no, don't do that! AKIKO: Oh no! Kyusaku! NUKU NUKU: They're so happy.. Papa-san, and Mama-san are.. KYUSAKU & AKIKO: Peace! KYUSAKU: Come over here! NUKU NUKU: Love is a complex thing isn't it.. RYUNOSUKE: Yeah... AKIKO: Kyusaku! KYUSAKU: NUKU NUKU: Morning! Hey, wake up Ryunosuke! It's gonna start pretty soon. RYUNOSUKE: Please give me breakfast.. let me eat it peacefully please.. NUKU NUKU: Let's hurry and get going before we get caught up in that mess again. Here! AKIKO: ..this is to Kyusaku.. hand Ryunosuke over to me, and give up peacefully. If you agree to it, I will not attack.. KYUSAKU: Every single day.. she doesn't give up does she.. let's see.. KYUSAKU: Shut up! Take your defeat like a good girl!! ARISA: Ma'am, he's come out! AKIKO: Let's finish him! GIRLS: Roger! KYUSAKU: SSSShhiiiiittt!!! RYUNOSUKE: So as it would happen, we're now living together pretty happily everyday. The end. AKIKO: You're not getting away!! --------- [ED Song] Can you show me that love is happiness? Maybe it's actually loneliness? Spring's moonlight is so mysterious. Why is it that you're suddenly so sweet to someone The moonlight breeze melts a place in my heart away No! Please don't, no no! Please don't ask me Wink one time, and say good-bye No! Everyone will say it's a whim, but still.. It worries me, please don't blame me It's in my nature you know. Oh.. With a fear and shyness, you act so sweet Can you show me that a dream is happiness? Even broken is it sweetness? Why are your tears flowing so? Please, for just a little while, stay with me like this I think you'll understand something very important. Can you show me that love is happiness? Is it exceptional tenderness? I like being near a kind hearted person Sitting on your lap, your open heart Gently enwraps and quietly hugs me. Can you show me that love is happiness? Maybe it's actually loneliness? Spring's moonlight is so mysterious. --
