01x12 - Chiyo-chan's Day / High School Friends / Lunch / Afternoon / Skipping Rope

[bunniefuu]

Good morning, Mr. Tadakichi.

This is Mr. Tadakichi.
He is always by my side.

He's been living with us
since I was five years old.

When we first met, he and I were
about the same size,

but Mr. Tadakichi grew and grew,
and finally became bigger than me.

Good.

Smile.

My day begins with making my lunch.

Asparagus wrapped in bacon, salad,
and a small omelet.

Then, I wake up my mother and father.

It's morning!

And eat breakfast.

See you later!

Then, I head for school.

It feels good when the weather is nice.

Oh, but my parents bought me
a new umbrella,

so rain might not be so bad, either.

Chiyo-chan!

Chiyo-chan!

Long time no see!

Oh, Miruchi! Yuka-chan!

They are my classmates from grade school,
Miruchi and Yuka-chan.

Long time no see.

Wow, is that your high school uniform?

It's the first time I've seen
the summer uniform.

Isn't it cute? But the skirt length
of the uniform

is the same for both winter and summer.

They're in 6th grade, but I'm a second
year student in high school.

Because I skipped forward to
the first year of high school

when I was in 5th grade.

Oh, yeah! What's popular at school now?

Jump rope! It's gotten popular again lately.

Yeah, and it's pretty fun. Right?

And you can play with everyone that way.

Wow, jump rope! That brings back memories.

What's popular in high school?

Huh?

Yuka, Chiyo-chan's in high school,
so she doesn't play anymore.

Oh, right.

We play around in high school too...

But I guess we don't do jump rope.

See you around.

Later.

Bye-bye.

Miruchi and Yuka-chan attend
elementary school.

I was attending the same school
just a while ago too, but...

We've got swimming today!

First hour's swimming!

Oh, wait for me!

Wait!

But...

But I am...

I am a high school student.

Morning.

Oh, good morning.

Your friends?

Oh, yes. They're my classmates
from grade school.

If we go straight down this road,
we get to my high school.

Jump rope is apparently popular
right now in grade school.

It brings back memories. Jump rope.

This is Miss Sakaki from my class.

Miss Sakaki lives in my neighborhood,

so I often see her on my way to school.

Miss Sakaki, did you jump rope too?

I used to be quite good at it.

Really.

Miss Sakaki is big, but quiet.
She really listens to what I say.

Speaking of which, swimming starts today,
doesn't it? I can't wait.

I want to be able to swim as well as you,
Miss Sakaki...

What?!

But every so often, she suddenly disappears.

It's a mystery.

Morning!

My friends, you all doing good?!

Good morning.

Hey, Chiyo-chan! Morning, Yomi!

This is Tomo-chan and Miss Yomi. Well...

Tomo, did you get the show I asked you
to record yesterday?

Oh, sh**t! I forgot.

I knew it.

I was stupid for asking you.

Stupid! Stupid!

Stupid!

Stupid! Stupid!

Stupid! Stu...

This is the kind of people they are.

You're the stupid one!

Get a move on!

You're going to end up more tired
if you keep running like slackers!

Now, "shitari" is in the conjugation form

of the sa-column irregular
conjugation verb, "su".

However, it can also be used as a noun
or an adjective verb, and...

She still hasn't shown up.

Yukari-chan sure is late a lot.

This has got to be a new record.

Is there something going on today?

Who knows? Knowing Miss Yukari,
she probably just overslept.

No, knowing Yukari-chan, I'll bet you

today's the release date of the limited
box edition of some game.

That's about the stupidest...

Yeah, because you're the stupid one, right?

How could I...

if I become one of them...

I'm a kitty cat!

This is not study hall!

This is our homeroom teacher, Miss Yukari.

She teaches English.

Oh, I just can't believe it!

I was going to make a short stop
and buy a video game on my way,

but the thing was, there was a line
and it's a weekday!

They must be college kids
with lots of free time.

Honestly! And now I'm late because of them!

She is an unconventional teacher.

Okay! Get plenty of fluids!

Classes are more fun in high school
than they were in grade school.

Okay, for this part...

Chiyo-chan.

Yes, ma'am.

That's right. impressive as always.

Oh, brother.

Did you sleep well?

Oh no, not very.

Oh! Oh! Wrong! Wrong!
That's not what I meant!

Miss Osaka often sleeps during class.

Could she be a night owl?

"At times, his appearance
was young and energetic,

but changing his demeanor,
he might dress like a monk."

"Other times, he might have hair
growing in around his topknot."

"Truly, this is what one would call
a monster passing by."

Okay, you can stop there.

Who should I have read the next part?

Oh, yeah. The other day,
I had an opportunity

to speak with a teacher from
a girls' high school.

If they have P.E. in the first hour...

Apparently, they don't care

about wearing their P.E. clothes
to homeroom too!

And when they have swimming...

Sometimes, they even wear swimsuits!

He's serious.

He's crying for real.

It must be so nice.

We really have all sorts of teachers.

Yes?

Chiyo-chan, here.

Thank you.

Things like this haven't changed
since grade school.

This time for sure!

Unlike grade school, there is
no school lunch in high school.

So, we either bring lunch,
buy bread at the co-op,

or eat at the school cafeteria.

It's like the post-w*r period...

It is the post-w*r period, though.

Thanks for waiting!

Welcome back.

I got fried noodle sandwiches!

Wow! Tomo, you're the best!

Here, that's yours, Osaka.

Melon bread...

What?

I asked for melon bread...

Who cares? A fried noodle sandwich
is higher in difficulty, after all.

Difficulty...

I forgot my wallet!

It's been left open.

Probably because it lets the breeze through.

The weather is so nice and the breeze
feels wonderful too.

Yeah, it does.

Doesn't it make you feel like
you could just fly away

even if ya jumped off from here?

I feel like Miss Osaka might really
do things like that.

Hey!

Let's eat over here!

Damn it, they sold out!

Eating lunch on the roof was a nice idea.

It just tastes better when you're
eating it somewhere high up.

What is it?

Nothing.

Tomo.

That looks good. Let me have a bite.

What?!

Come on, I'm always letting you
look at my homework.

That's my line!

It's fine with it being mine!

Was it good?

It was really good!

They sure are energetic.

Tomo-chan and Miss Yomi have been
together since grade school,

so they always seem to have fun together.

The rooftop feels great.

You are so...

Okay, that's it for warm-ups!

Gather around!

Fourth hour is P.E.

Today, we have swimming.

Today, we'll be swimming four 25-meter laps.

Anyone who can't swim can use
a kick board, okay?

Yes, ma'am!

Chiyo-chan, what are you going to do?
You want to use a kick board?

No! Today, I will swim all the way
to the middle without one!

Go for it!

Yes!

That's Miss Kagura.

The middle of the pool is a bit deeper,
so be careful, okay?

Okay!

Got two!

Give it back!

You don't need two of them!

I do too need two!

Miss Kagura is a member of the swim team,

so she is the best swimmer in the class.

She can even hold her own against the boys.

Wow.

Go for it, Chiyo-chan!

Yes!

Okay. Me too!

I'm able to go for about ten meters, freestyle.

In order to go further than this,

I think I will have to master
breathing to the side.

Hey, I hit something.

Man, sorry about that. You're so small,
I didn't see you.

Hey, now, be careful.

Remember, Chiyo-chan's feet
can't reach the bottom.

Death is always a risk when you're
swimming, you know.

Death?!

I can't wait to grow taller!

Finally, there's cleaning.

I like cleaning, because everything
becomes so nice and tidy.

Tomo-chan, you can't sweep like that.

I wish she would be more serious.

Miss Osaka is serious about cleaning,

but she's not very good with a dustpan.

And then, we leave school.

Today was certainly another busy day.

Bye-bye.

I'm home!

Unlike grade school, high school
lets out late.

So, by the time I finish my homework,
it's already evening.

Let's go, Mr. Tadakichi.

In the evening, I go for a walk
with Mr. Tadakichi.

Lately, Miss Sakaki has been joining us
for our walks as well.

It seems Miss Sakaki also likes Mr. Tadakichi.

The three of us taking these walks is very fun.

Let's go through the park.

Sure.

Here goes!

Ready, set...

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Oh, Mimi-chan, you messed up!

Time to switch.

Okay.

Oh, it's already 5:30!

I'm going to be late for cram school!

I'll see you later!

Bye-bye!

We're in the middle of our walk, but...

You want to play, just for a bit?

What?

Here.

Little missy, come on in.

Rock, paper, scissors, and we're tied.

If you lose, go on out.

Little missy, come on in.

Rock, paper, scissors, and...

We're tied!

Hey, Chiyo-chan.

Tomo-chan!

Jump rope, huh?
It sure brings back memories.

We don't even get to do it in P.E. now.

Miss Yomi! Miss Osaka!

Ya see, I'm here to see Tokyo earthworms.

I'm not, though. I just happened
to run into her.

All right! Chiyo-chan, I challenge you!

You just lost!

It's okay. You always do
three rounds for these things.

Oh, really.

Here, take this.

Okay, okay.

Osaka, hold that end!

What're we singin'?

Let's sing whatever Chiyo-chan knows.

Chiyosuke, I challenge you!

I shall accept!

At night, I get sleepy very quickly.

When I hear everyone talking
about late night TV or radio,

I get a little envious.

It seems late nights are no problem
once you grow older.

I can't wait to be a grownup.

Goodnight, Mr. Tadakichi.

Well...

Goodnight!

Our version of the great lord of terror
is approachin'.

And that is...

Tests! It's tests! Whoa, scary!

Don't worry!

If we work together, there are no picks
and peaks we can't overcome!

That's right. We gotta all work hard together!

Okay! All three of us, fall in step! Here goes!

Tell us what's going to be on the tests!

Idiots.
