01x25 - Road to Womanhood

[bunniefuu]

Hiroshi here. I'm dancing more than usual.

That's because it feels like some sort of
overwhelmingly incredible power

is coming closer.

Welfare of Successful Expel
the household pregnancy evil spirits
Expel evil spirits!
Promote the welfare of the household!

Expel evil spirits!
Promote the welfare of the household!

I told them not to make it painful.

It's me, Noi!

I've brought some cake!

Let's all fight over it together!

Wait, murderous intent in the air?!

Auntie?!

What's going on?

A-Auntie?

E-Emergency!

What's going on?

I'm still sleepy.

What's all this commotion?

Sunako's Room

Sunako's Room
Sunako, are you in there?

Open the door!
I'm not going to! I can't open it! No way!

I'm not going to! I can't open it! No way!

I can't do it! It's impossible!

Basically, I can't do it!

Extra large, s'il vous plait!
Basically, I can't do it!

Extra large, s'il vous plait!

Over.

Wh-What is this?

Oh, no! Don't look!

W-Well, this is...

This is, you know...

Blah, blah,

so on and so forth,

Just... Just...
period and done.

Just... Just...

Just... Just...
"Just"?

"Just"?

Just look at that!

FINAL EPISODE

Why?

U-Umm...
Tremble tremble, wibble wibble,

Have some cake if you like. It's salty though.
tremble tremble...

Sunako!

Let's go to a spa!

Huh?

I've arranged to unveil you at the
party the day after tomorrow.

Okay?

Why so all of a sudden?

She's self-centered as always.

Do you want me to whip you?

No!

Let's get rid of stuff like this!

S-Sunako...

Sunako's Room

Wh-Why is Sunako so...

Please have some tea if you like.
It's not hot anymore though.

Believe it or not, Sunako has gotten
much better than before!

Th-That's right! Now she's becoming... She's
getting steadily closer to becoming a lady!

Yeah, we're working about two percent faster
than the leading brands!

She can clean and do the laundry to the teeth,
and her cooking is on the professional level!

I don't remember ever asking you to
turn my Sunako into a housewife!

Y-You're right.

Oh, I didn't know!

Anyway, I must drag Sunako to the party
the day after tomorrow no matter what!

Humph! Don't give me that crap after you
showed up all of a sudden!

You need to give her a little more time.

Would she be ready in two days if
I gave her a little more time?

Uh...

Auntie, remember when we
first moved in here?

You told us all kinds of things
but still watched over us.

So, just like you did with us, you should treat
Sunako with gentle patience and...

No way!

First of all, when I let you move in...

No lecture for me, thanks.

Auntie...

If you've got something to say...

Tell that to her face!

Takenaga, this is unbearable.

Just hang on, Noi.

Why am I doing this with you anyway?

There you go.

Sunako!

Are you excited?
It's a beautiful and fabulous party!

Damn! Why aren't you saying " no"
like you always do?

You don't want to go?

Even if I beg you like this?

U-U-U-Ultra radiant!

Ultra Radiant!
U-U-U-Ultra radiant!

She's bleeding from her nose!

Sunako!

It's getting worse!

Break! Break!

Sunako, remember you managed to tolerate
looking pretty a couple times before?

So, maybe you can put up with it one more
time and do that just for one hour or so.

Oh yeah, why don't I give you a reward
if you can do that again?

Reward?

What do you want? Some banned video?
A full set of internal organs for Hiroshi?

I want to do something fun with Auntie.

What?

So, Auntie, will you become a normal...

Yeah, Auntie, will you become a normal...

Housewife?

Housewife
Housewife?

Housewife
Yeah, Auntie, become a normal house...
What?!

Yeah, Auntie, become a normal house...
What?!

AHAHAHAHAHt

AHAHAHAHAHt
Was she so shocked that she lost it?

Was she so shocked that she lost it?

I'm scared! I'm scared!

What, that's it?

That's fine! If that's going to make you
a lady, it's an easy task!

Seriously?!

Costume, s'il vous plait!

Over.

Old Maid

Old Maid
What do you think?

Old Maid
Akiba!

Recoil...

Yuki

Yuki
I don't get it! I don't get it at all!

What the hell is " housewifely" about this?!

I don't look like a housewife?

Putting your appearance aside...

Puttingthat aside...
Putting your appearance aside...

Putting your appearance aside...

Can you really act like a housewife?

Well, my maids did everything around
the house when I got first married.

I was traveling all over the world
with my business,

so I've never even done a house chore.

I'm so jealous!

Auntie, I'll teach you how, so let's
try the housework together!

Together?

When it's nice outside, you enjoy the
sunlight and air out futons.

On the rainy days, you sit in front of
the fireplace and knit.

You enjoy your everyday life,
cooking delicious meals!

We're going to indulge in that
placid lifestyle together!

So lovely! What a lovely lifestyle that is!

Auntie!

Sunako!

Does this mean they made a deal?

Now our rent is going to be free!

I can't believe the day is coming when
I get to clean and do laundry with Auntie!

I can't wait!

I'm going to eke out the road to
housewifeliness starting tomorrow!

Housewife! Housewife! Housewife!

I know I shouldn't say it, but...

Uncertainty
I know I shouldn't say it, but...

Uncertainty
Sorry, but I'm not sure about this.

Uncertainty
It just... It just can't ...

Uncertainty
I agree.

Uncertainty
Ditto.

The Nothing is Merciful Bell

Morning

Morning
Morning comes to these two women with
drastically different images of a " housewife" .

You put the detergent here
and press the switch.

The machine will do everything else.

Okay!

Phew, I'm exhausted!

Already?!

All right, next is...

Why don't we have some tea?

Seriously?!

But there are so many things to do!

What?

I'm gonna go vacuum,
so I want you to dry clothes.

And when you're done, I want you to do
another load of the laundry!

Okay!

Maybe it's just me, but I have
a bad feeling about...

Don't finish that sentence.

But it looks like Sunako is having fun.

You're right.

Sunako must really like Auntie, you know.

We're goin' to digital now!

Sunako, do you need some help?
Analog is over and done with!

No, it's okay, but you might want
to help Auntie though.

Oh, speaking of, I saw her putting the dirty
laundry in the limousine and leaving earlier.

Shock!
Oh, speaking of, I saw her putting the dirty
laundry in the limousine and leaving earlier.

Shock!
What?!

Going where?

To the shopping arcade, she said.

Hey, why didn't you tell us that until now?

My bad!

Auntie!
My bad!

Auntie!

The Nothing is Merciful Bell

The Nothing is Merciful Bell
Time it took for Auntie to abandon housework...

The Nothing is Merciful Bell


The Nothing is Merciful Bell
I knew something like this would happen!

I knew something like this would happen!

My bad!

Where are you, Auntie?

Hey, Sunako!

I knew you would slack off!

No, that's not what I was doing!
I was doing the laundry.

I took everything to the cleaners.

Th-The cleaners?
I took everything to the cleaners.

Th-The cleaners?

They said it's going to take a few days,
so I bought the replacement clothes!

Look how much I've got!

Hello, ma'am!
Wanna check out our merchandise?

What's that?

Meat
What's that?

Meat
Highest quality domestic beef!

Meat
This is the tuna that costs 500,000 yen!

Fish Meat
This is the tuna that costs 500,000 yen!

Fish Meat
How about a dozen matsutake mushrooms?
It's 20,000 yen each!

Fish Meat

How about a dozen matsutake mushrooms?
It's 20,000 yen each!

Fish Meat
Grocer
I take them all, s'il vous plait!

Fish Meat
Grocer
Auntie!

Auntie!

Today you only buy some squid at the fish
market and some daikon radish at the grocer!

That's boring!

That's not the point here.

Okay then. Can I have just a daikon radish?

Here you go. It's 180 yen.

Put it on this!

Huh? You know you can't buy a
daikon radish with a phone card, Miss.

Just forget it!

NOBLE SHOPPING ARCADE

NOBLE SHOPPING ARCADE
I've never shopped on foot before!

Oh my, Sunako...

Yes?

Hey, you over there.

Yes?

You

Would you carry this?

Never mind.

Wow, it looks like a movie set!

Oden

Oden
Since Sunako told me we're going to have
some oden today, we set it up this way!

Ode...?

Auntie, you need to wear
this dotera robe too!

Dote...? You mean, me?

Kotatsu and dotera always go together!
They symbolize the Japanese winter!

It's spring right now though.

Fine! I'm going to put on a dotera robe!

Handy pocket!

IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD ON HER AT ALL
What do you think?

What do you think?

Sunako, I'll help you make oden!

No thanks.

Why not?

Your fake nails might come off.

Sunako! Now you're going to attend the
party the day after tomorrow, right?

Why would you go that far to show off?
I don't get it.

I just want to, I just want to have
fun with Sunako, too!

Because I haven't been able to up until now.

Why not?

That's because...

That's because what?

It's simmering!

Oden is simmering and oden is ready!

It's radiant!

Sunako!

You know what? I don't think I can do this.

Auntie, just like you can never be a
housewife, I can never be a lady.

What are you talking about?

I don't care anymore. We live in two
different worlds to begin with.

That world suits you better, Auntie.

That world?

Which world is that?

Beats me.

Suna...!

Goodnight.

Well, anyone could have seen from the get-go
that this wasn't going to work out.

Kyohei!

I've always wanted to ask you this, but why
did you ask us to turn her into a lady anyway?

What...

I was curious, too. I thought Auntie would be
much better at turning someone into a lady.

I was scared.

I don't want anyone to come into my room!

What happened to you, Sunako?

Nothing! Just leave me alone!

Sunako...

I got really scared, watching the Sunako
I knew changing into someone different.

So, you just wanted to see only what
you liked about her, huh?

Well, that's convenient!

Kyohei, you're out of line!

You faced up to her for two seconds,
and already you're ready to give up?!

The road to womanhood is long and harsh!

It's a tour of Hell!

Kyohei...

Tour of Hell?

That sounds weird.

Grrr! I was just trying to explain what kind
of Hell she has to go through to...

But it's still weird.
Grrr! I was just trying to explain what kind
of Hell she has to go through to...

Auntie, Sunako isn't the same
Sunako you knew back then!

It's a slow process, but she's
been changing gradually!

Tour of hell...

Tour of hell...
That's right. She's completely
different from before!

Then, I guess she's happy with herself now.
That makes me feel better.

Auntie, why don't you just pick one man to
settle down with and be happy yourself already?

Love is everything for women, you know!

He's right! How much longer are you
planning to date multiple men?

Well, the thing is...

The best man for me
has passed away
already...

The best man for me
has passed away
already...
The best man for me has passed away already.

My dear...

Sunako?

You see, the person your Auntie
loves best is gone.

Sunako, please don't cry.

I'm gonna cry... I'm gonna cry!

I'm going to cry enough tears
for you, too, Auntie.

I'm just a... I'm just a kid,
so I can cry for you, Auntie.

A good woman shouldn't cry so easily.

A lady should never let others see her tears!

Because those tears are much more
beautiful than any jewels in this world!

Do you understand?

Yeah...

Good girl, thank you.

Thank you...

It seems she's gotten stronger
like I wished, if nothing else.

God might punish me if I wish
for too many things!

Please continue to look after her, okay!

Good boy, good boy

I'd better get going now.

This time, in Japanese, have a nice day!

Looks like she's riding in a
normal limousine this time.

Super wide!
Guess not.

Guess not.

What a waste of space...

I wonder if it was supposed to end this way?

So, is this what you want? Do you think you
won't hurt anyone as long as you keep quiet?

But what else am I supposed to do?

If I go to the party, I'll only end up
embarrassing my aunt.

Ugly girl

Ugly girl
Because I'm an ugly...

Because I'm an ugly...

No one thinks that way!

Realize that already!
No one thinks you're ugly!

Sure, you're a little scary, but...

I see.

Gah! I'm telling you, stop that!

Sunako.

Sunako.

Sunako.

Suna...

Now that it's come to this...

Now we move out-nne!

Maiden Rocket! Five seconds to
our pained hearts' ignition!









Take-off-nne!

What's the matter, Sunako?

It kinda seemed like she was trying to
live intensely and die young there.

I understand that you're young,
but don't push yourself too hard.

P-P-Please make me a lady!

MAKE ME A LADY!!
P-P-Please make me a lady!

MAKE ME A LADY!!

MAKE ME A LADY!!
What?!

She's finally steeled herself, eh?

That's my Sunako!

All right, let's do this!

Letls do this!
Yeah!

Letls do this!
Y-Yeah...

Don't forget to smile!

Oh, I'm scared!

Climb gracefully!

What's this iron frame for?

Nothing! Don't ask questions!

Where is the sunrise from
Hell's high mountain?!

Where?!

You should use a clear lip gloss
with a hint of pink!

Your accessories shouldn't be too big!

Simplicity is the best!

Sunako, you look beautiful!

We did everything we could!

All right! Let's go!

Here I come!

Ding-dong-nne!

Did you see-nne!

The light of Hell-nne!

Around this area-nne?

Whoa-nne!

Let's go, Sunako Nakahara!

Yeah!

Why do you have to be that way?

We don't have much time left until
the party starts. Let's go!

On the double!

Crumbling-nne.

Ten years, huh?

You must be...

My name is Tamao Kikunoi.
I'm here in my father's place.

Your niece has been such
a good friend to me.

Sunako is friends with you?

Sunako is a truly amazing person.

You don't think she's strange?

Strange?

You do, don't you?

Just a little...

You're a honest person.

But I like Sunako very much.

Thank you.

For me those words are the best present of all.

Take a look at those good looking people.

Wow... I wonder if they're
celebrities or something?

Where's Auntie?

There are so many people. I'm scared.

Come on, don't chicken out now!
Hey, that's my butt.

Damn it, I can't even move forward like this.

You wait a minute-nne!

What's that?

In search of Hell-nne!

We'll follow the tiniest lead-nne!

No matter where it is-nne!

We'll be there-nne!

Yaaaah!

It's here-nne!

We've been dreaming about this day-nne!

This is we goth-loli-nne's !

Stage show-nne!

Or possibly the very picture of Hell-nne!

This is tres bien somehow!

It's kind of a great performance!

Stand out!

Goth, goth!
Stand out!

Goth, goth!

Be fabulous!

Loli-loli!
Be fabulous!

Loli-loli!

Goth, goth!

Loli, loli!

Goth, goth!

This is our chance!
Goth, goth!

This is our chance!
Loli, loli!

Let's sneak out quietly!
Goth, goth!

What's all the commotion?

We're here, Auntie!

Oh, thank you!

I'm glad that at least you guys could make it!

Hiya!

Sunako?

Auntie, I'm sorry that I didn't grow up
to be your ideal girl.

My ideal...

Even if people call them gross,
even if you hate me because of them,

I still like stuff like that.

Stuff Like That
I still like stuff like that.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not being cute.

But I've always admired you
ever since I was a kid, Auntie.

So, I just wanted you to understand
the truth about me.

So...

So...

You silly.

You forced yourself to come
all the way out here.

Don't worry about me.

It's okay as long as you're well and happy.

That's all I care...

Auntie...

A good woman shouldn't cry so easily.
Isn't that right, Auntie?

Because those tears are much more
beautiful than any jewels in this world!

That's right! You've got that right!

Happy wedding anniversary.

She insisted on celebrating it.

I see.

Thank you!

But still, I'm sorry that I couldn't become a lady.

The Road to...

The Road to Womanhood!
The Road to...

The Road to...

To? To? To?

A lady is...

Someone who never compromises her beliefs!

Someone who can be proud of what she likes!

Someone who can shine without
wearing a dress or makeup!

That's a lady!

We're happy for you, Sunako!

Now you're a respectable lady!

This is quite emotional somehow.

Go on home, now.

Let's go down from here while that
racket is going on inside.

Oh, okay...

Watch out!

My, she's beautiful!

Yes, Lady Tamao.

Of course she is. You have no idea
how hard Sunako worked for this.

Although, she didn't get to
introduce herself at the party.

That's all right. Because after all...

She did get to say the most important thing.
Isn't that right?

Uh. . .

It's just no good, huh?

That's how a girl should be!

Sunako should become a classic Japanese
lady, who's beautiful inside and out!

Don't you agree, my darling,
who's now a star in the sky?

My Darling
Don't you agree, my darling,
who's now a star in the sky?

She's pretty excited...

This isn't over yet, then?!

I-It's a nightmare...

Come on. Let's get out of here!

Hold it right there!

Now I want you all to turn my Sunako
into a super-lady!

Give us a break!

Give me a break, too!

Pay the rent!

We don't want to do that either!

Me, either!
