[bunniefuu]

Hey, Tomo!

You're not a grade-schooler anymore,
so be quiet!

Come on, try and catch me!

Oh.

Oh!

Sakaki-chan, what, re you doin?

Oh, I know the internet.

Ah!

Which means it's the internet. Forget I asked.

What are you talking about?

Miss Osaka...

Oh, there's a dead pikanyaa.

That's yamapikaryaa, or ya mama ya a.

Was it an accident?

I believe I've heard that traffic accidents

are one of the primary causes
of ya mama ya a casualties.

Poor pikanyaa.

What's the matter?

This cat...

I have a feeling it's that mother cat.

What?!

When did the accident happen?

It was the day after our school trip.

I can't tell if it's her or not.

Poor thing.

It'd be good if it's not her...

Still not good, though.

I know...

I wonder if he's okay?

I think Mr. Tadakichi was
half asleep this morning.

Really?

Oh? There's no name plate.

Oh, the people here moved away.

I didn't know. There used to be a big cat here.

Yes, that's right. Maru-chan.

He was a big and idiosyncratic cat, wasn't he?

Yes, he was the boss in this area.

Then I guess there will be
a changing of the guard!

Yes.

There are a lot of cats in this area.

It must be tough to be the boss.

Timetable, timetable. Let's get everything
in order in advance.

Mr. Tadakichi, please be careful
of cars and things.

What? What's the matter?

You're right. I'm the one
who needs to be careful.

That's right. I need to fill this out.

I want to go here after all.

But this place would be hard to commute to,

so I guess I would have to live on my own.

I know!

If I live on my own, I can get a pet.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I see, so you want to be an animal doctor.

Yeah, but there aren't many
veterinary universities.

What about you?

I'm planning to apply to
a sports-orientated university.

I want to keep up my swimming
for a while longer.

Are you going to become a P.E. teacher?

I haven't really thought about it,
but I guess that's one possibility.

Miss Sakaki!

This is the cat catalog I was telling you about.

Here you are.

Thank you, Chiyo-chan.

Certainly.

What's this? Sakaki, are you going to get a cat?

No, because my parents can't
handle them. I'm just looking.

Oh, they hate cats?

No, my mother's allergic to cats
and things' so we can't.

Allergies, huh? I guess it can't be helped then.

Well, no big deal!

It's not like the cat would get to like you
even if you got one!

Think positive! Think positive!

Right?!

Positive?

I'm sure that's not true, Miss Sakaki.

When I graduate and get into college,

I'm thinking of finding my own place

and getting a cat.

But, Sakaki, cats hate you.

Could you really keep one?

That's the problem.

Miss Sakaki, think positive! Think positive!

Speakin' of careers, you're goin'
to America' right' Chiyo-chan?

Yes.

Then, what's goin' to happen to Mr. Tadakichi?

I think I'm going to end up living
at a friend's place over there'

but they've said that Mr. Tadakichi
is welcome to come with me.

Really? That's great.

The French Mr. Tadakichi,

With the Japanese Chiyo-chan,

Will be goin' to America...

It's hard to say who the foreigner is.

Miss Osaka is amazing.

See you tomorrow!

Bye.

Miss Sakaki, you're going to
a veterinary university' right?

Yes.

But it'll be great if you get to live
with a cat as well.

Yes.

It's a cat.

Wow! What's going on?
There are a lot of them showing up!

Uh...

They're all angry for some reason!
This isn't normal!

Kamineko!

I don't really know why, but he's a cat
that's hostile towards me.

What?!

Ah! Cat claws have lots of germs

and Grandma got really swollen
when she got scratched!

Get back.

Yamamayaa?!

What?!

That's incredible! He chased them away!

Yamamayaa, what are you doing here?

Hey, are you okay?!

He may be weakened!

The veterinarian that Mr. Tadakichi
goes to is nearby! Let's go there!

Okay!

Miss Sakaki, this is the place!

Doctor!

Doctor! Dr. Ishihara!

Oh, Chiyo-chan of the Mihama family.

Please! Get the doctor quickly! Quickly!

We're in a hurry! It's a big emergency!

It's rather noisy out here.

Doctor!

You've certainly grown a lot.

You're going to be over
two meters tall one day.

Yes, sir, thank you very much.

But more importantly, there's a patient
we'd like you to see.

Oh?

Let's wait over here.

Everything will be fine if we leave it up
to Dr. Ishihara.

Okay.

It's thanks to Dr. Ishihara that
Mr. Tadakichi is always healthy.

Let's have a seat.

Okay.

Is that cat really...

There's no mistake.

It's the Yamamayaa we met on our school trip.

You're right, he has to be.

But I'm surprised that he was able
to find you' Miss Sakaki.

Yeah.

That's right, the Yamamayaa came to see me.

Ah, Chiyo-chan, you've grown
since I just saw you earlier.

Yes, sir, thank you very much.

How is he?

He'll be okay, won't he?!

Well, he's physically weakened,
but he'll be perfectly fine.

He'll recover as long as he eats well
and gets plenty of rest.

By the way, that's a strange cat you've got there.

I've been a veterinarian for a long time,

but I've never seen one like him.

I don't know how to say it, but he's
almost like an iriomote...

He's a mixed breed.

He's a mixed breed.

I see.

Mixed breed, eh?

Mixed breed. Mixed breed. He's a mixed breed.

Is that right, Chiyo-chan?

Oh, yes! He's a mixed breed.

I see. Then, go on and take him home.
Take care of him now.

Yes, sir.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much.

Isn't it great that he's okay?

Yeah.

What are you going to do
with the Yamamayaa?

I don't know what's the right thing to do.

But...

I think he risked his life to come here
because he believed in me.

I think it must have been really hard for him.

I have to do everything I can
not to let him down.

You're right.

But at your place, your mother is...

Yeah.

I know! Then, we'll take care of him
at my house until the spring!

What?

Please take him when you start
living on your own.

Will it be okay?

Yes!

Would that be okay, Yamamayaa?

Oh, he responded!

I know! Mayaa.

I'll name him Mayaa.

I wonder if Mayaa will get along
with Mr. Tadakichi?

I know I can.

No way! The Yamamayaa came?!
That's awesome!

He's currently at my house. Right?

Yeah.

Awesome! That's awesome, Yamamayaa!
Awesome! Awesome! Yamamayaa!

Awesome! That's awesome. Yamamayaa!
Awesome! Awesome! Yamamayaa!

Then, why don't we all pay a visit
on the way home?

I wanna see him, since it's been a while.

All right! Let's go to Chiyo-chan's house!

Yeah!

Yomi and Kagura, you'll come too, right?!

Yeah, I'll come.

I don't have practice today anyway.

Then, with our usual group of six...

Huh?

Huh?

Where's Miss Sakaki?

Bathroom, maybe?

What?! She's already outside!

That's fast!

I guess this is what they call "trooping along.

I guess this is what they call "trooping along".

Is it hard to take care of him and stuff?

Well, I've been researching by reading books.

Wow.

I see...

The ecology of Nishihyou island is...

That's read as "iriomote"!

I know that! I did it on purpose!
It just slipped out!

Which is it?

But the pikanyaa sure came a long way.

I keep telling you that it's not pikanyaa.

Oh?

Pika...

Pika...

Pi?

Pika...

Pika...

No, it's not good to spoil her.

No. it's not good to spoil her.

Ah!

Chiyo-chan, is Mr. Tadakichi going to be okay?!

He's gonna get eaten!

He'll be fine. He's so big.

Iriomote cats sometimes even hunt
and eat wild boars.

Let us hurry home!

Hurry! Hurry!

Chiyo-chan's running!

All right! It's a race!

Oh, wait!

Wait!

Wait!

Is Chiyo-chan coming yet?

It's no use! We didn't make it in time!

Mr. Tadakichi!

Mayaa!

Mayaa.

Thank goodness.

Mr. Tada...

Azumanga Daioh!

Please, come on in.

Wow, this is nice.

It's a big warm heated table.

Chiyo-chan, can I sit at the heated table?

Chiyo-chan. can I sit at the heated table?

Please, go right ahead.

She's already seated.

It's so nice. The heated table's so nice.

Long time no see, pi...

Pika... Nyaa?

You can just use pikanyaa.

Tadakichi, I'm gonna eat you!
Come on' come on' come on' come on!

Tadakichi. I'm gonna eat you!
Come on' come on' come on' come on!

What?

I am a great iriomote cat!

Roar! Roar, roar, roar!

Roar! Roar. roar. roar!

It hurts!

It hurts! It hurts!

See?! What did I tell you?!

Hospital! The hospital!

Hey, you can't scratch people.

No! Good work!

Mayaa!

You get carried away too much!

Well, I'll see you tomorrow at school.

See you later, heated table.

What about you, Sakaki?

I'm going to stay a while longer.

Tomo-chan, are you okay?

I hate him.

It's your own fault.

It's a good thing that you got
into trouble for once.

That's right, that's right!

See ya.

Oh, yes, see you.

It hurts.

It's a good lesson. Learn from it a little.

That's right, that's right.

Moron.

Being talked to like that just for
getting hurt is pretty incredible.

See you later, heated table.

Miss Sakaki, why don't you stay over tonight?

Is that okay?

Yes, it's okay. Please be with Mayaa for him.

Then, Miss Sakaki, please go on ahead
back to the room.

I'll go make coffee or something.

Let's cook together, let's cook together.

Now, now, let's see what we've made.

Once I graduate, I'll get to be
with you every day' won't I?

Mayaa?

Mayaa.

Oh, you're so cute!

Thank you for waiting.

Um, coffee...

Thank you.

The heated table at Chiyo-chan's
place was nice.

Damn it, it hurts.

You brought it on yourself, remember?

Like hell I'll ever trust an animal again!

That was your fault, Tomo.

Mayaa didn't like what you were doing
to him' remember?

That's right. if you were nice to him,
he wouldn't have bitten you.

There's a cat.

Cat-Nyaa.

I'll show you an example! Tomo, come on!

Huh?

Here, come on, come on.

See? Nothing to be afraid of.

Nothing to be afraid of.

What the?!

Huh?

Cat-Nyaa went away.

Why did you use my hand?

Because I didn't want to get bitten.

What?!

It's good for you to have a scare
put into you once in a while.

Let's get you clean, let's get you clean.

We'll be done soon.

Good boy.

He certainly is well-behaved when
it's you' Miss Sakaki.

What?

When I tried to wash him yesterday,
he fought up a storm.

Is that right?

I'm going to rinse you.

There, you're all clean.

Are you ready, Miss Sakaki?

Okay, I'll turn out the lights then.

Mayaa.

I guess you really love animals, Miss Sakaki.

I like cute things.

Because I've always been big,
even when I was younger'

and I was never cute.

That's not true.

When you were playing with Mayaa earlier,
you were very cute.

What?

You... think so?

Yes, you were cute.

Mayaa probably thinks of you as his mother.

Good night, Mayaa.

God, please, show us your love!

It's finally entrance exams!
It's right in front of us!

Man, this is bad!

Don't worry, don't worry, I was really
generous with my offering

on our first visit to the shrine this year!

Wow, Tomo, how much did you give?

Five yen!

God, please, show us your love!

Speakin' of which, are we goin'
to get to graduate?

I hadn't thought about that.
