Tale # 11:

Protein

-pg52-

Alpha-chan

Too much ?

Kokone-chan

It's cute!

-pg53-

Kokone-chan

But these taste really good.
You want some ?

Alpha-chan

I'm fine...

Kokone-chan

Oh, that's right, fish are bad for you, aren't they ?

Alpha-chan

Yeah; it's really not a big deal, Kokone.

Kokone-chan

Should I show you the 'digestive action' ?

Alpha-chan

Hunh ?
Waaah!

-pg55-

Alpha

If Kokone can...
Be perfectly okay with meat and fish...
Before I talked to Kokone, I would have said it was impossible for a robot
to digest animal protein.
But apparently I'm the only one weird that way.

-pg56-

Alpha

I wonder if I'd be able to get used to it...
At the least, I should be able to eat Sashimi...
I'm not going to get any customers on a day like this.
Right!

Coffee with Milk

Alpha

I do like the taste...and that's all that really matters, isn't it ?

-pg58-

Alpha

So far so good...

-pg59-

Alpha

Well, maybe not...
But...I've got to get used to this.
I feel sick.
I'd better close the shop for the day...

-pg60-

Takahiro

Ah! Long time no see!

Alpha

S-so it is! Come in!

Takahiro

Closing already ?

Alpha

Yeah...
But you're okay.

-pg61-

Alpha

Eek, I'm not sure I've got the willpower to do this...
Wh-wh-what to drink ?

Takahiro

?
Ah...
That Maple thing.

Alpha

Sure.

Takahiro

Thanks.
?

-pg62-

Takahiro

Ah...
I haven't been coming, have I ?
Blah blah blah

Alpha

Aaah...he's saying something...
I can't seem to listen...even a little...

-pg63-

Takahiro

So you see,

Alpha

Unh...
My voice is going...

Takahiro

What ?

Alpha

Eh ? What ?

-pg64-

Alpha

It seems to be easing up...
'Bout time, hunh ?

Takahiro

Get well soon!
You should go to bed early!

Alpha

I guess I looked like I had a cold...

-pg65-

Alpha

After that the rain cleared up soon, and I caught a rare glimpse of Mt
Fuji.
The storm inside my body calmed down too.

-pg66-

Alpha

Doesn't look like I'll try Sashimi for a while yet.
Sorry for today, Takahiro...
