**[01:32] Chiho**
There you go.
**[01:34] Manami**
It's fine that you're going out to play,
**[01:36] Manami**
but don't take your eyes off Sue-chan.
**[01:39] Chinami**
Don't worry. We know.
**[01:43] Chiho**
Sue-chan's so tiny and cute,
people always want to take her right away.
**[01:48] Manami**
Wait just a minute. What does that mean?
**[01:52] Chino**
Nothing.
**[01:55] Chiho**
Don't hurt me!
**[01:57] Manami**
Don't say things that sound so bad.
**[02:00] Manami**
I've never hit you, have I?
**[02:02] Chiho**
No lectures, either!
**[02:04] Manami**
That'll depend on you three.
**[02:10] Chiho**
Well, see...
**[02:17] (Flashback) Sue**
Mew!
**[02:22] (Flashback) Riri**
You want us to rub your tummy?
**[02:25] (Flashback) Chi**
Meow!
**[02:33] (Flashback) Chi**
Sue-chan, want to rub him, too?
**[02:35] (Flashback) Sue**
Meow...
**[02:38] (Flashback) Sue**
Mew.
**[02:40] (Flashback) ---**
**[02:43] (Flashback) Riri**
Want to go inside now?
**[02:51] (Flashback) Sue**
M-Mew?
**[02:53] (Flashback) Sue**
Meow, meow! Meow, meow!
**[02:55] (Flashback) Chi**
Meow?
**[02:56] (Flashback) Sue**
Meow!
**[02:59] (Flashback) ---**
Move!
**[03:02] (Flashback) Riri**
Now, Yoshi, Sue-chan isn't your doll.
**[03:06] (Flashback) Sue**
Mew...
**[03:10] Manami**
* I do seem to recall a time they*
* came home smelling like dog...*
**[03:13] Manami**
And? What else?
**[03:15] Chiho**
Well, um...
**[03:17] (Flashback) Sue**
That's outside, this is inside.
**[03:20] (Flashback) Sue**
So I can go this far.
**[03:28] (Flashback) Chigusa**
Sue-chan's gone!
**[03:31] (Flashback) Chinami**
Sue-chan!
**[03:32] (Flashback) Chiho**
Where are you, Sue-chan?
**[03:35] (Flashback) Sis**
Where did you bring her from?
**[03:35] (Flashback) Sue**
Nee-nee... Nee-nee...
**[03:37] (Flashback) Kana**
She was lying around.
**[03:39] (Flashback) Chigusa**
That way!
**[03:40] (Flashback) Chi**
Sue-chan!
**[03:43] (Flashback) Chinami**
There she is!
**[03:45] (Flashback) Chi**
Hey! You thief!
**[03:47] (Flashback) Chi**
Give her back!
**[03:49] (Flashback) Kana**
No! I found her!
**[03:51] (Flashback) Kana**
She's my baby sister now.
**[03:54] (Flashback) Sue**
No! Mew...
**[03:56] (Flashback) Sis**
Is she your little sister? I'm sorry.
**[04:00] (Flashback) Sis**
Now, let her go!
**[04:02] (Flashback) Sue**
Nee-nee... Nee-nee!
**[04:05] Manami**
I see.
**[04:06] Manami**
So that's why the oldest Kawamoto sister
is always apologetic toward me.
**[04:12] (Flashback) Sis**
G-Good morning.
**[04:15] (Flashback) Manami**
Morning.
**[04:17] Riri**
Chi-chans!
**[04:19] Chiho**
We can go now, right?
**[04:21] Manami**
Yes, you can.
**[04:22] Manami**
Be sure you don't let
her out of your sight.
**[04:26] Chiho**
We know.
**[04:29] Manami**
*You say that, but I know you really won't.*
**[04:34] ---**
There...
**[04:37] Rino**
Be home by dark, you two.
**[04:39] Hime**
Okay.
**[04:40] Shino**
Bye!
**[04:42] Shino**
Going for a walk, going for a walk...
**[04:50] Shino**
Nee-tan, Nee-tan.
**[04:52] Shino**
There are all different kinds of grass,
aren't there?
**[04:54] Hime**
That's right.
**[04:56] Shino**
But they're all still grass?
**[04:59] Hime**
No, not at all.
**[05:01] Hime**
All the grasses in the field
have their own names, too.
**[05:06] Shino**
What about this fluffy one?
**[05:08] Hime**
That's green foxtail.
**[05:11] Hime**
We call it "enokoro grass" in Japanese,
**[05:13] Hime**
because it looks like the
tail of a puppy (*inukoro*).
**[05:20] Shino**
What about this one?
**[05:21] Hime**
Indian goosegrass.
**[05:24] Shino**
And this?
**[05:25] Hime**
That's evening primrose.
**[05:27] Hime**
Not long ago, yellow flowers bloomed
on them in the early morning.
**[05:32] Shino**
Look at the little white flowers!
**[05:34] Hime**
It's daisy fleabane.
**[05:36] Shino**
Red flowers!
**[05:37] Hime**
Red clovers.
**[05:39] Hime**
Sow thistle.
**[05:41] Hime**
Creeping woodsorrel.
**[05:43] Shino**
The boys play swords with these!
**[05:46] Hime**
That's Canada goldenrod.
**[05:52] Shino**
Do all the plants here
have their own names?
**[05:56] Hime**
They do.
**[05:57] Hime**
Even the smallest grasses
and flowers have names.
**[06:14] Maki**
This is called red clover.
**[06:18] Shino**
Good, you remembered.
**[06:22] Mi**
It has a name?
**[06:24] Mi**
It's not just a red flower?
**[06:26] Shino**
Yeah. Even the smallest grasses
and flowers have names.
**[06:33] Mi**
My name is Mi-chan.
**[06:35] Mi**
Shino-chan. Maki-chan.
**[06:38] Maki**
That's different!
**[06:46] Shino**
You can have red blocks with some shaped
like triangles and some like squares, right?
**[06:51] Mi**
That's a triangle.
**[06:53] Mi**
That's a circle.
**[06:55] Shino**
That's right.
**[06:56] Shino**
Just like with blocks,
flowers come in lots of shapes,
**[07:00] Shino**
and they all have names.
**[07:02] Mi**
Like flowers?
**[07:05] Mi**
But the triangle can be square, too.
**[07:11] Mi**
And the circle can be square, too.
**[07:15] Shino**
Um, um...
**[07:18] Shino**
But the square block only has square sides,
**[07:20] Shino**
and the circle has a circle side, and the
triangle one has a triangle side, right?
**[07:24] Mi**
Are there any that are only
triangles or only circles?
**[07:28] Shino**
One that's only triangles would be pointy,
**[07:31] Shino**
and one that's only circles
would be a ball.
**[07:36] Mi**
It's only a circle!
**[07:37] Shino**
But you can't stack it
if it's only a circle.
**[07:40] Shino**
That's why blocks always
have a square side.
**[07:47] Mi**
There...
**[07:50] Shino**
You don't have to try so hard...
**[07:51] Mi**
There...
**[07:52] Maki**
That looks kind of fun.
**[07:55] Shino**
This purple flower is a kind of aster.
**[07:59] Mi**
This has prickly leaves
and pointy purple flowers.
**[08:03] Shino**
They're thistles.
**[08:05] Mi**
They're not purple flowers?
**[08:07] Shino**
There are different purple flowers,
like with triangle and circle blocks.
**[08:11] Shino**
That's cosmos.
**[08:13] Shino**
It has eight petals.
**[08:14] Mi**
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
**[08:21] Shino**
You're very good at counting.
**[08:24] Maki**
Nee-tan, Nee-tan!
**[08:26] Maki**
This is, um... red morning glory!
**[08:30] Shino**
That's right, Maki-chan! Very good!
**[08:35] Shino**
This is buckwheat.
**[08:36] Mi**
Buckwheat?
**[08:37] Shino**
Uh-huh. After it flowers,
you pick the fruit and turn it into powder.
**[08:41] Shino**
That's what they use to make
the soba noodles you eat.
**[08:45] Mi**
They're all white and cute.
**[08:47] Shino**
Even smaller flowers than this
have their own names.
**[08:51] Shino**
Oriental lady's thumb.
**[08:52] Shino**
See how it has lots of
tiny red flowers on it?
**[08:56] Mi**
But there's no thumb.
**[08:58] Shino**
Nobody knows why some of them
are named the way they are.
**[09:03] Mi**
Why?
***SIGN*** Plant Expert
**[09:04] Shino**
Someone came up with it a long time ago,
***SIGN*** Imperial University
Doctor
**[09:07] Shino**
and they told it to more and more people.
***SIGN*** Nee-tan
**[09:09] Shino**
Eventually, nobody knows how
the name came about anymore.
**[09:13] Mi**
The flowers have lots of little bumps.
**[09:15] Shino**
Yeah.
**[09:16] Shino**
Some people use it as red rice
when they play house.
**[09:21] Shino**
That's why it's sometimes called
a "red rice flower," too.
**[09:24] Mi**
You know so much, Nee-tan!
**[09:28] Shino**
My onee-chan taught me
about this stuff, too.
**[09:32] Shino**
So when both of you are old
enough to be onee-chans,
**[09:37] Shino**
teach it to some younger kids, okay?
**[09:39] Both**
Okay!
**[09:45] Maki**
Good morning, Miss Teacher!
**[09:46] Teacher**
Good morning.
**[09:56] Maki**
Miss Teacher, this is awful!
**[09:59] Maki**
The flowers are gone!
**[10:02] Teacher**
Oh, here? That's because we
pulled up all the weeds.
**[10:06] Maki**
Who? Who pulled them up?
**[10:08] Teacher**
Maki-chan, first of all,
put your fists down.
**[10:13] Maki**
Nee-tan, it's terrible!
**[10:15] Maki**
The flowers are all gone!
**[10:18] Shino**
It's okay. The seeds are
still there somewhere,
**[10:22] Shino**
so they'll flower again next fall.
**[10:26] Shino**
And before that,
there'll be spring flowers,
**[10:29] Shino**
and when they're gone,
there'll be summer flowers.
**[10:33] Shino**
So when that happens,
let's look at them together, okay?
**[10:36] Maki**
Okay...
**[10:38] Teacher**
You make a very good older sister, Shino-chan.
**[10:42] Shino**
You saw us looking at the
flowers yesterday, right?
**[10:47] Teacher**
Huh? Well, but... It had to be done.
**[10:51] Shino**
I understand. It's grown-up stuff, right?
**[10:54] Shino**
I hope I get to be a grown-up soon, too.
**[11:09] Hime**
When all sides are triangles,
it's called a triangular pyramid.
**[11:12] Hime**
All of these pointed shapes
are called pyramids.
**[11:16] Hime**
One with a square bottom
is called a square pyramid.
**[11:18] Hime**
One with a round bottom is called a cone.
**[11:20] Hime**
Long ones with ends that are the same
thickness are called prisms.
**[11:23] Hime**
Round-ended ones are cylinders,
and triangle-ended ones are triangular prisms.
**[11:27] Shino**
Little kids ask all kinds of questions.
**[11:30] Shino**
It's hard to be an onee-chan.
**[11:33] Shino**
You can't be good at it
unless you study a lot.
**[11:37] Hime**
Huh?
**[11:39] Hime**
But there are lots of things
I don't know, too.

**[12:04] Sue**
There.
**[12:11] Sue**
Down, down...
**[12:15] Chiho**
Sue-chan, are you all dressed?
**[12:18] Chiho**
And there's your tail.
**[12:27] Sue**
I wanted to get dressed by myself.
**[12:30] Chinami**
What's wrong?
**[12:33] Chiho**
Sue-chan couldn't get her tail
through the hole in her outfit.
**[12:37] Sue**
Mew.
**[12:42] Chinami**
Okay then, today we'll have
special tail training!
**[12:45] Sue**
Training?
**[12:50] Chinami**
Now, do it just like I say, okay?
**[12:53] Sue**
Mew.
**[12:54] Riri**
Chi-chans, let's play!
**[12:56] Chigusa**
Okay!
**[13:00] Chinami**
Right.
**[13:02] Chinami**
Left.
**[13:05] Chinami**
Middle.
**[13:07] Chinami**
Down.
**[13:12] Riri**
What are you all doing?
**[13:15] Chinami**
Studying tails.
**[13:17] Riri**
You're studying? That's very good.
**[13:20] Sue**
Mew.
**[13:22] Chinami**
Want to do it with us, Riri-chan?
**[13:23] Riri**
What should I do?
**[13:26] Chinami**
First, go from the right to...
**[13:29] Chinami**
a circle.
**[13:32] Sue**
Meow?
**[13:33] Riri**
Huh? A circle?
**[13:38] Sue**
Mew...
**[13:39] Chiho**
That's not much of a circle.
**[13:42] Riri**
I don't think that's possible,
**[13:44] Riri**
except for people with
long tails like yours.
**[13:49] Riri**
Don't worry. It's okay if you
can't make it a circle.
**[13:53] Chinami**
Two circles.
**[13:56] Sue**
Meow?
**[13:57] Riri**
That's pretty good...
**[14:02] Chi**
Meow!
**[14:06] Manami**
Oh, hi there.
**[14:08] Riri**
I came over to play.
**[14:14] Sue**
My tail is short.
**[14:17] Manami**
That's okay.
**[14:18] Manami**
The Chi-chans' tails were short
when they were little, too.
**[14:24] Manami**
See? They had tiny tails.
**[14:27] Manami**
And flat ears, too.
**[14:29] Manami**
Why were we dressed like that?
**[14:31] Sue**
Tiny!
**[14:33] Manami**
Back then, I was the one who
always dressed you three.
**[14:43] Chiho**
But, Nee-chan...
**[14:45] Chiho**
Wouldn't it have been easier
to dress us in baby pants?
**[14:51] Chiho**
With pants and skirts, the tail
has to go through two holes.
**[14:57] Chiho**
Or you could just not put
it though the hole at all.
**[15:00] Manami**
That wouldn't be very comfortable
with pants, though...
**[15:07] Manami**
And it'd cause even more
problems with a skirt.
**[15:11] Manami**
With kimono, there's a way to wear
them that keeps the tail inside,
**[15:15] Manami**
but it still has to go
through a tail holder.
**[15:19] Chinami**
Then what about something like baby pants?
**[15:26] Manami**
The snap on those comes undone easily.
**[15:28] Manami**
Remember when Sue-chan tripped
and fell because of that?
**[15:34] Manami**
Either way, if you want your
tail outside your clothes,
**[15:37] Manami**
you need an undertag.
**[15:39] Chiho**
Undertag?
**[15:41] Manami**
It's a loose piece of cloth inside a skirt.
**[15:44] Chigusa**
What are those for?
**[15:47] Manami**
Without it, if you moved
your tail to the side,
**[15:50] Manami**
your underwear would show through the hole.
**[15:53] Manami**
An undertag fills in the extra
space so your underwear stays hidden.
**[15:57] Chigusa**
I don't mind if it shows a little.
**[15:59] Manami**
Well, I do.
**[16:01] Chigusa**
But you don't even have a tail.
**[16:03] Manami**
I don't want your underwear to be visible
**[16:05] Manami**
to the kinds of people
who'd want to see it.
**[16:09] Sue**
Nee-nee...
**[16:11] Sue**
Were you little, too?
**[16:16] Manami**
When I was little, I looked like this.
**[16:20] Chigusa**
Cute!
**[16:21] Chinami**
Tiny Nee-nee!
**[16:24] Chiho**
You looked just like Sue-chan.
**[16:28] Chigusa**
Why didn't you stay that cute, Nee-chan?
**[16:32] Chigusa**
I want to dress you up!
**[16:34] Manami**
If I'd stayed that cute,
**[16:36] Manami**
I wouldn't be able to make
you dinner or care for you.
**[16:41] Manami**
Everyone has to grow up.
**[16:46] Manami**
Oh? You don't want dinner, then?
**[16:48] Chi**
We do need that!

It's about the prettiest

*This year's preliminary stage saw

Nee-nee...

What is it?
**[17:27] Manami**
What?
**[17:34] Sue**
You're the prettiest
in the world, Nee-nee.
**[17:37] Manami**
What a good girl!
**[17:39] Chiho**
Don't say that, Sue-chan.
**[17:41] Chinami**
You'll give her a big head.
**[17:45] Chiho**
There's always someone better.
**[17:47] Chinami**
Like, Nee-chan seems like the most
important person in the world, right?
**[17:51] Chigusa**
But there are even more important
people in the world, like teachers.
**[17:55] Manami**
That's true. And your father.
**[18:01] Manami**
I didn't say anything *that*
thought-provoking, did I?
**[18:04] Chi**
Dad is important?
**[18:07] Manami**
He's the most important in this house.
**[18:09] Chiho**
Anyway, there's bound to be
someone prettier, too.

Don't be too reckless, okay?
**[18:49] Chinami**
Miss Ryuko, you're very pretty.
**[18:53] Ryuko**
What's this? Are you trying
to distract me with flattery?
**[18:59] Chinami**
But I still think our big
sister is prettier.
**[19:05] Ryuko**
That's where this was going?
**[19:08] Chi**
So close...
**[19:13] Teacher**
Don't be mad at them.
**[19:15] Ryuko**
I'm not mad!
**[19:17] Ryuko**
I know I can't beat the pretty high school
girl who's basically a mom to them.
**[19:34] Chiho**
I guess there aren't many
pretty people around.
**[19:42] Chi**
Shino-chan and her big onee-chans!
**[19:45] Nozomi**
Hey, it's the class president's
little shrimp sisters.
**[19:55] Nozomi**
There ya go.
**[19:59] Chiho**
Pick me up!
**[20:01] Hime**
You three love attention, huh?
**[20:03] Shino**
Hey! Me, too!
**[20:05] Hime**
Okay, okay.
**[20:11] Chiho**
You're more cute than pretty.
**[20:15] Shiho**
You'll be pretty someday.
**[20:18] Shino**
Nee-tan *is* pretty!
**[20:24] Chinami**
I bet you're a very pretty
snake lady, Suu-chan.
**[20:27] Chinami**
Are you?
**[20:29] Suu**
I'm not sure...
**[20:30] Suu**
Anyway, would you like me to pick you up?
**[20:37] Chiho**
You're pretty too, Shino-chan.
**[20:40] Chiho**
But you're still a kid.
**[20:42] Shino**
So are you!
**[20:44] Hime**
I get it. You're looking
for pretty people, right?
**[20:50] Hime**
What do you think of her, then?
**[20:55] Chigusa**
Do it more!
**[20:58] Chiho**
You're a girl? I thought you were a boy.
**[21:02] Nozomi**
Hey, you! Did you forget about
when we went to the pool?
**[21:07] Chi**
We're home!
**[21:11] Manami**
Oh, welcome home.
**[21:14] Manami**
I was about to go look for you,
since it's getting dark.
**[21:18] Chi**
We looked really hard, too.
**[21:21] Manami**
For what?
**[21:23] Chi**
For someone prettier than you!
**[21:25] Manami**
Find any?
**[21:29] Chi**
Nuh-uh.
**[21:31] Chinami**
But it's a big world!
**[21:33] Chigusa**
I'm sure there's someone prettier!
**[21:37] Manami**
Can't you just say I'm the prettiest
and leave it at that?
**[21:40] Chinami**
No! If you lose your drive
to keep improving yourself...
**[21:42] Chigusa**
...you'll end up an old
lady before you know it!
**[21:45] Manami**
By then, you three and Sue-chan
will be the prettiest, so that's okay.
**[21:51] Chiho**
We'll be pretty?
**[21:53] Manami**
If you're good girls and do as you're told.
**[21:56] Chigusa**
Why is there always a lecture involved?
