01x03 - A Masterful Cat Is Good at Giving Care

[bunniefuu]

I am a cat.

I don't mean to brag,

but I am quite a masterful cat.

Even so, I have a problem,

and that is...

my owner who never learns
how to separate garbage.

IDIOT, BIRDBRAIN

She put burnable trash with the plastics

and plastic bottles in the wrong bin!

SORTING THE TRASH BEFORE TAKING IT OUT

Why, h*m* sapiens?

Even the crows in the neighborhood

know what trash is out when!

How can she not?

BURNABLES

PLASTICS

PLASTIC BOTTLES

Good grief.

I can't believe such
a hopeless human being actually got hired.

If she gets fired,

I'll abandon her
for another place right away...

Y-Yukichi...

Did you change the recipe
for the hamburger steak sauce?

It's delicious! You're a genius!

How did you make this?

Please make this for me again!

I'm so blessed!

The train is approaching platform two...

Take care.

Hello!

Yukichi...

This may sound a little strange,

but please

teach me how to cook.

I've already put on the apron

and got everything else.

Please, teacher!

I can't go on for the rest of my life
knowing only how to make instant noodles!

I realized last week

that without you,

I'm just a slob
who can't even take care of herself!

CONDITION OF THE APARTMENT LAST WEEK

RECALLS THE MESS

Besides,

the people at the office have started
thinking I'm a girl who cooks very well.

You can bake too, Miss Fukuzawa?

That's impressive.

Fukuzawa brings lunch to work every day.

You'll make a great wife.

-I can't cook at all...
-Don't say that.

-What does that make the rest of us?
-Delicious!

Senpai, please marry me!

No...

Before they find out,

I want to at least try
to make myself fit this character.

Therefore,

my goal is to be able
to make my own lunch!

Please teach me!

RECIPES EVEN A MONKEY CAN MAKE

Oh, but

I think I should start
with something easy...

RICE ba*ls, RAW EGG OVER RICE

This?

This looks a little hard...

I'd need to crack eggs for this...

No! I'm just kidding!
Of course, I can do this!

I mean it's just cracking an egg!
I can do it!

Bring it on!

Okay. I have the egg.

What next?

CRACK THE EGG OVER THE RICE

DRIZZLE SOY SAUCE

ADD DESIRED GARNISH

Hold on!

Is that all for step one?

How do I crack an egg?

How's this idiot-proof enough for monkeys?

CRACK

The eggshells fell over the rice
like garnish!

Well, they're a source of calcium...

Oh, but do eggshells contain bacteria
called sal... something?

You're amazing, Yukichi!

How can you hold chopsticks
with your paw?

How do you do it?

It's done!

A raw egg over rice!

Wow! Actual cooking!

My first ever cooking
other than instant noodles!

PITYING GLANCE

It looks yummy...

EMPTIED THE BOTTLE...

Isn't...

Isn't there an easier recipe?

Something that doesn't involve
cracking eggs or pouring soy sauce?

That reminds me,
we had this cookbook in the house?

I don't remember having this cookbook...

And you don't look
at recipes when you cook...

But the recipes in this book
look familiar somehow...

These are all the dishes you made me
when you were a kitten!

What's the matter?
It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

This brings back memories.

Your culinary skills improved so quickly

that I forgot all about it.

You must've gone through the recipes
one by one and made them for me.

Hey, Yukichi,

I want to eat this!
I haven't had this in forever!

Rice ba*ls, the first dish
you ever made for me!

Looks so good!

How can you shape them
into triangles with your paws?

How do you do it?

Yukichi later turned

the failed egg over rice
into rice porridge.

CRACK

Hey, Yukichi...

How do you turn off
the snooze function on the phone?

Sorry! Are you okay?

I'm off!

WASHED TISSUES

LOOKING AT THEIR ACCOUNT BALANCE
TO CALM THE MIND

Currently, we've been hit
by an unexpected downpour.

This is expected to continue.

The rain is expected
to worsen at midnight.

Precautionary measures
in case of a landslide should be taken.

Excuse me.

Do you always carry an umbrella with you?

Yes, someone at home got mad at me
for buying convenience store umbrellas,

and made me carry it.

Those umbrellas will be piling up
before you know it, right?

That's right.

It's good that you have someone
who makes sure you carry an umbrella.

Yes, I'm very grateful.

The rain is getting heavier.
Please be careful on your way back.

Thank you for your time.

Next up, everyone's favourite segment...

I'm home, Yukichi.

What's the occasion?
Today's dinner is a feast!

Everything looks super tasty!

Did something good happen?

Even the premium beer?

Can I really drink it?

Will it rain again tomorrow?

Aw, man!

Cheers!

It was pouring this morning...

Yukichi.

I got you something nice.

SILVERVINE STICKS

PURRING UP A STORM

THIS IS SILVERVINE

The way you're holding it...

-Good morning.
-Morning.

It's almost 6:50 a.m.

It's a warm sunny day

across the country.

Perfect for doing laundry...

BEFORE SEVEN O'CLOCK

ALWAYS OVERSLEEPS

Good morning...

I don't have a fever!

Just because I got up early... Rude!

Huh?

This is weird.

Is the thermometer broken?

There's no way I'm...

YOU HAD BETTER TAKE THE DAY OFF

No, today...

Wait...

Please...

I can't miss work today...

I've got three meetings
first thing in the morning...

I'm fine.

Sometimes, you can't just take a day off
just because you're sick...

I always say I don't want to go to work,

but I am a responsible adult.

I feel cold...

Good morning, Chief.

This is Fukuzawa.

Yes. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for the trouble.

I took half a day off.

It can't be helped.

Don't give me that.

I need the fever to recede
by the afternoon.

I just need to sweat it out...

I'll eat something spicy

and take a hot bath...

Don't stop me, Yukichi!

WASTING ENERGY IS
ACTUALLY COUNTERPRODUCTIVE

Yukichi...

Yukichi, where are you?

I bought cat food...

I'll work harder from now on...

I'll buy you lots of cat food...

Please stand behind the yellow line.

Oh, no... What time is it?

I have to go to the office...

I think my fever broke...

But I think I'm not all better yet...

I ended up taking the whole day off.

NEXT EPISODE

I am a masterful cat.

A masterful cat knows that

a sea slug is a shell-less marine mollusk,
class Gastropoda, order Nudibranchia.

In other words, they belong
to the same family as sea snails.

As a pair of rhinophores look like ears,

they are also known as sea bunnies.

They are the creatures
the UMYU-Sea idol group is inspired by.

We're out of time?

Next episode,

The Masterful Cat Goes To The Aquarium.

I am looking forward to it.
