Moemi: Good morning... Moemi: Didn't you sleep...? Youta: I did... <127> Sound: Ba. Moemi: I look weird after I just wake up, so don't look! Sound: Sa sa. Moemi: You're so warm. Moemi: Can I be with you today, as well? <128> Youta: Oh... Sorry... I have a meeting with Tagashira-san, from the other day, and a person from the publisher... Moemi: Oh... That's not fun... Moemi: I'll go wash my face. Sound: Gaba. Youta: Wa! Your hair looks bad! Moemi: Eh. Sound: Ba. <129> Sound: Guru. Moemi: Kya-. Youta: Be quiet!! After Moemi-chan goes home, I'll let you out of your cage! Moemi: Horrible, it's a huge explosion!! Moemi: Ha. Moemi: You saw it! Sound: Kuru. Bun bun. Youta: I didn't, I didn't! Moemi: Ah, I'm totally awake... I wanted to sleep a little more, but... Sound: Ta. <130> Moemi: Then, I would not be able to leave you, so... Youta: Moemi-chan is going forward... Even through what happened last night... Why do I feel like I'm being left out... <131> Ai: Um... Cold... Sound: Goso goso. Sound: Buru. Ai: I want to pee... <132> Ai: U. What a smell... Ai: Ge... So dirty... Ai: I don't want to, but... I have no time to worry about it... Sound: Kii... Ai: Dammit! I'm not human, so I wish I didn't have such a troubling physiological phenomenon... ...Like I don't have a period... <133> Youta: It's the first time I've been to a place like this... I don't know anything, so I feel very nervous... Goku. Dammit, I started to want to go home... What should I do if this publishing person is rude... What should I do if I'm told that the plans for the picture book have been canceled... Sound: Dokun dokun dokun dokun dokun dokun. <134> Youta: I may be able to work on the picture book. I was told to be a professional after high school. Youta: I can't wait more than two years! Sound: Ga. Youta: Then I can even quit school now!! Sound: Za. Youta: Ai-chan! <135> Youta: Now... Where did she go. If she's not with me, I can't make the picture book... Youta: She may have moved to another park... For now, I'll go look for her around here... <136> Sound: Paku. Ai: I'm famished... This kind of sandwich and milk is my only meal for a day... I can't help it since I don't have any money... Uu... I thought it would get colder. I guess it's because it's getting cloudy... Sound: Buru. Sound: Poro. Ai: Ah. Sound: Poto. Ai: It's wasting. Hi-. Sound: Ta. <137> Ai: I can eat it if I take off the dirty part. Sound: Gu-. Ai: Diet, diet. Ai: Left... Ai: A little over one month, I have to live on 24707 yen. I may starve before my playing time is over... Anyway, it was good that I didn't use too much of the money that Youta gave me... Sound: Kun kun. Ai: Stinks... <138> Ai: If I think about it, I haven't taken a bath since I left Youta's house... I don't want to waste money, but... I'll try the public bath called Sentou. Sound: Za. Ai: It's my first time. I don't know anything, so I'm nervous... Ai: Now! I'll get in, like I'm exploring an unexperienced zone! Sound: Gu. Sound: Gura garu. Doki doki. Man: Miss! Pay first, please!! Ai: Oh, I see... It's a prepay deal... Sound: Biku. <139> Ai: Oh...the Sentou has a special smell. I like it. Sound: Kako-n zaza. Girl: Hey, listen! That girl looks cute, but she stinks. Sound: Hiso hiso hiso hiso. Girl: No kidding, hasn't she taken a bath? Girl: It's rare for people not to take a bath so long that they smell like her. Sound: Hiso hiso hiso. Girl: Hey, don't, she can hear us. Sound: Ban. Ai: Hah! Sound: Guu Guru Gururu Girl: Oh no, she seems hungry. Poor girl. Sound: Susu susu. Hiso hiso. Girl: She must be extremely poor. It's not nice to laugh. <140> Ai: Eh!? Ai: Don't give me this... I don't have an umbrella... I just took a bath. Ai: There's no other way! Sound: Ba. Sound: Bicha. Ai: Why!... Ai: Why do I have to experience this... Is it because I'm not human!? Why does my body start to stink even if I'm not human! Why do I get hungry, I'm not human! Even though I'm not human, why do I have to go to the bathroom! Even though I'm not human, why do I have a complex! Even though I'm not human! Even though I'm not human! <142> Sound: Tsuru. Ai: Kya. Sound: Basha. Ai: U. <143> Youta: Gee... Where did Ai go...
