[00:00] Kaos
    Will...
[00:02] Kaos
    What?
[00:03] Kaos
    Part one did really well?
[00:05] Edit
    Yes!
[00:06] ---
    The whole editorial department is
    talking about how much you've improved!
SIGN    This cake is delicious, even though I'm by myself.
[00:09] Edit
    They said that your backgrounds look great
    and your background characters are cute!
[00:14] (Flashback) Kaos
    And done...
[00:15] (Flashback) ---
    Thank you for helping me out until the end.
[00:18] Kaos
    The parts that I didn't even draw...
[00:24] Kaos
    I'm so embarrassed!
[00:25] ---
    I'm such a failure of a manga artist!
[00:27] Edit
    Kaos-sensei,
[00:29] ---
    you barely made the deadline this time,
[00:31] ---
    so make sure you're not
    late turning in part two.
[00:35] Edit
    Kaos-sensei?
[00:37] Edit
    Are you all right?
[00:39] Edit
    Kaos-sensei?
[00:40] Edit
    Kaos-sensei?!
SIGN    Manuscript due Moving out day
[00:44] Edit
    I'm going to be honest and I'm going
    to have to reject this part two.
[00:47] Edit
    You finally got your guest spot two-parter.
[00:51] Edit
    With a part two like this, we're not even
    going to be able to run the first part.
[00:55] Kaos
    I-I'm so sorry!
[01:00] Edit
    At this rate,
[01:01] ---
    you're not going to be able
    to continue as a manga artist.
[01:05] Edit
    I won't even put you into a new dorm.
[01:13] Kaos
    A dream?
[01:15] Kaos
    No!
[01:16] ---
    That can easily become reality!
[01:18] Kaos
    I have to work hard on
    the second part, too.
[01:20] Kaos
    Koyume-chan.
[01:23] Kaos
    Koyume-chan...
[01:26] Kaos
    Are you still asleep?
[01:27] ---
    This isn't so bad...
[01:30] Mom
    All right. Smile, everyone!
[01:36] Koyume
    Ri-chan, let me see!
[01:38] Koyume
    Kaos-chan, your face looks so weird.
[01:40] Kaos
    Please don't remind me!
[01:45] Mom
    We have just ten days left in this dorm.
[01:51] Mom
    I get lonely just thinking about the fact
[01:54] ---
    that I won't be able to
    see you girls for a while.
[01:56] Kaos
    Yes...
[01:58] Tsub
    I'm going to be a prisoner
    in her castle again...
[02:00] Ruki
    You're talking about your own house.
[02:01] Koyume
    My dad's birthday is coming up soon,
[02:05] ---
    so I actually have to leave
    the dorm before everyone else.
[02:08] Ruki
    I also have a family trip coming up,
[02:11] ---
    so I might have to leave early, as well.
[02:13] Kaos
    What?!
[02:14] Fuura
    I also have to go visit some graves...
[02:18] Fuura
    So I'm going home today.
[02:21] Kaos
    I...
[02:23] Kaos
    I see.
[02:31] Koyume
    When are you going home, Kaos-chan?
[02:33] Kaos
    Huh?!
[02:34] Kaos
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[02:36] Koyume
    Kaos-chan, are you okay?
[02:38] Ruki
    You're really pale.
[02:40] Tsub
    Could it be you're stuck on your second part?
[02:45] Kaos
    Once again,
[02:46] ---
    I'm so nervous, and because
    of all the pressure...
[02:48] Kaos
    I haven't even inked a single panel yet.
[02:51] Ruki
    What?
[02:52] Koyume
    Kaos-chan, at times like these, you
    need to eat and cheer up!
[02:56] Koyume
    Here!
[02:58] Kaos
    Koyume-chan...
[03:01] Koyume
    Kaos-chan?!
[03:02] Kaos
    My stomach isn't doing very
    well because I'm so stressed...
[03:05] Ruki
    Are you okay?!
[03:06] Kaos
    Y-Yes...
[03:07] Tsub
    Yeah, you're not okay.
[03:09] Koyume
    I'm worried!
[03:16] Kaos
    Ruki-san, what are we doing?
[03:19] Ruki
    When you're stuck on your manuscript, the best thing to do is to move around.
[03:23] Ruki
    Come on. You try, too.
[03:24] Kaos
    O-Okay.
[03:28] Ruki
    Hup!
[03:29] Kaos
    Hup!
[03:30] Ruki
    Hup! Hup!
[03:32] Kaos
    Hup! Hup!
[03:33] Ruki
    Hup! Hup!
[03:34] Kaos
    Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup!
[03:35] Ruki
    Well?
[03:36] ---
    You feel less nervous, right?
[03:38] Kaos
    Yes!
[03:39] ---
    I think so!
[03:41] Ruki
    Good!
[03:42] Kaos
    Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup!
[03:42] Ruki
    Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup!
[03:43] Tsub
    Isn't that the workout you always do for
    bigger boobs and to improve your curves?
[03:47] Ruki
    N-No, it's not!
[03:49] Kaos
    Are you going running, Tsubasa-san?
[03:51] Tsub
    Yeah.
[03:53] Tsub
    Do you want to tag along, Kaos?
[04:02] Tsub
    You can run at your own pace.
[04:05] Tsub
    It's important for your body
    to wake up and hit that switch.
[04:08] Kaos
    Right!
[04:10] ---
    Here we go!
[04:11] Tsub
    You're not going to be able to defeat
    the enemy with training like that!
[04:14] Kaos
    Apparently, she just flipped her switch!
[04:23] Koyume
    It's really good, Kaos-chan.
[04:25] Koyume
    When you can't eat snacks,
    you need to eat actual food!
[04:28] Mom
    I made dishes that are easy on
    your tummy, so eat what you can.
[04:31] Kaos
    Everyone's so nice.
[04:33] Kaos
    They're all trying to cheer me up.
[04:37] Kaos
    I'll eat a lot, and do my best on the inking!
[04:39] Tsub
    Do you feel motivated now?
[04:40] Kaos
    Yes!
[04:45] Kaos
    I think I feel a little less tense now
     thanks to everyone's help.
[04:48] Kaos
    Okay...
[04:50] ---
    I'm going to do my best and draw!
[05:03] Kaos
    My body's not so tense now,
    but my mind's completely blank!
[05:07] Kaos
    Maybe I won't be able to make
    it as a manga artist after all!
[05:11] Koyume
    I finished my quota for the day!
[05:12] Kaos
    You're so fast, Koyume-chan!
[05:14] ---
    The deadline's drawing
    closer and I'm so nervous!
[05:16] Koyume
    This is your first two-part
    guest spot, isn't it?
[05:20] Koyume
    We'll all help you out again,
    so do your best!
[05:23] Kaos
    Thank you so much!
[05:25] ---
    If we can all—
[05:26] Koyume
    Wait, that won't work.
[05:28] ---
    I'm actually going home tomorrow.
[05:31] Kaos
    We will all...
[05:33] ---
    We will work... we... on wills...
SIGN    We'll all work on wills
[05:35] Koyume
    You'll all work on wills?!
[05:42] Koyume
    Are you going to be okay, Kaos-chan?
[05:44] Ruki
    I'd rather not leave you by yourself, but...
[05:47] Tsub
    You're not going home yet?
[05:49] Kaos
    M-My mom is going to pick me up, so...
[05:53] Ruki
    I'm so sorry, Kaos-chan!
[05:55] Koyume
    Kaos-chan!
[05:56] Kaos
    I-It's okay...
[05:58] ---
    All of you had finished
    your manuscripts early
[06:01] ---
    so you could leave the dorm at any time.
[06:04] Kaos
    You're all amazing.
[06:05] ---
    You're all professionals.
[06:07] Kaos
    You care so much about your families.
[06:09] Kaos
    I can barely keep up.
[06:11] Kaos
    I can't even think about
    doing a serialized series.
[06:14] Kaos
    I know very well how amazing you all are.
[06:20] Kaos
    I'm so sorry!
SIGN    Come on over to Fukushima
[06:24] Kaos
    Please do not concern yourself
    with someone like me.
[06:26] ---
    Farewell, you wonderful manga artists!
[06:30] Ruki
    Kaos-chan,
[06:31] ---
    you're probably being serious right now,
    but could you see us off properly?
[06:47] Kaos
    O-Okay!
[06:49] Kaos
    I'm just going to have
    to do part two by myself!
[06:53] Kaos
    I-I can't see...
[06:57] Kaos
    I put my hair into a ponytail to try to
    motivate myself, but it's not working!
[07:00] Kaos
    I'll put my hair in braids again.
[07:08] Kaos
    I'm such a pathetic creature
    when I'm on my own.

    Hello, this is Amisawa.
[07:17] Edit
    I wanted to see how part two was going.
[07:20] Kaos
    I'm sorry... it's not done yet.
[07:23] Edit
    I see. There isn't much time left to spare.
[07:27] ---
    Please pull yourself together.
[07:28] Kaos
    Y-Yes, ma'am.
[07:31] Edit
    Kaos-sensei?
[07:33] ---
    Are you not feeling well?
[07:35] ---
    Are you all right?
[07:35] Kaos
    Oh, I'm sorry...
[07:37] ---
    I think my heart feels somewhat
    like a mess right now.
[07:42] Edit
    Your heart?
[07:43] Kaos
    I mean, the inking is...
[07:45] Kaos
    I'm so lonely...
[07:47] Edit
    Is she becoming emotionally unstable?
[07:50] Kaos
    I-I'm sorry!
[07:51] ---
    Everyone's... gone...
[07:53] Kaos
    I'm all alone... in my room... and feel sad...
[07:56] Kaos
    so I haven't been able
    to draw in a cute way...
[08:00] Edit
    Ah... Right.
[08:01] ---
    Everyone else has already left the dorm.
[08:05] Kaos
    But now that I got to talk to you,
[08:08] ---
    I feel a wittle better.
[08:11] Edit
    Um, you don't sound better at all.
[08:14] Edit
    I guess Kaos-sensei wasn't emotionally
    ready for a two-part guest spot.
[08:19] Edit
    I need to adjust things on the off chance
    she isn't able to get her manuscript in.
[08:23] Kaos
    I-I'm sorry...
[08:25] Kaos
    What should I do?
[08:27] Kaos
    The fact that deadlines won't wait,
    even if you're having a hard time,
[08:30] Kaos
    makes me feel like an actual manga artist,
[08:32] Kaos
    which makes me happy.
[08:33] Kaos
    Oh, I'm sorry!
[08:35] Edit
    Er, she'll probably be okay.

    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[08:43] Kaos
    O-Okay!
[08:59] Kaos
    I guess everyone really did leave...
[09:06] Kaos
    Nyaos-sensei.
[09:09] Kaos
    Come to think of it, even back at home,
    all the kitties stayed by my side.
[09:14] Kaos
    I wasn't lonely.

    No!

    Really?

    You have to always smile
    when you're on the stage.

    Right!

    This is the real me!
[09:42] Kaos
    Always playing with my figures all alone,

    So, this is normal!

    This is how I usually am!

    Kaos-chan, dinner.
[09:54] Kaos
    Mom— I mean Matron!

    I'm the only one here for dinner,

    and yet it's so delicious and warm.

    Of course.

    Looks like it's already
    bedtime for Nyaos-chan.
[10:32] Mom
    There, there.
[10:33] ---
    You did a great job.
[10:35] Mom

    What are you doing here?
[11:25] ---
    You're supposed
    to pick me up in a week.
[11:27] Kaos mom
    Huh?
[11:28] ---
    Oh, I must've gotten the wrong date.
[11:30] Mom
    So your mother calls
    you "Kaos-sensei"...
[11:36] Kaos mom
    Are the other artists not here?
[11:39] Kaos
    Everyone else already went home,
[11:42] ---
    so it's just me right now.
[11:44] Kaos mom
    Oh, that's too bad.
[11:47] Kaos mom
    I've brought a lot of pictures
    that I wanted to show everyone.
[11:51] Mom
    Pictures?

    Yes, of Kaos-sensei.

    You brought them?!

    This is Kaos-sensei who was
    so scared of the ogres
[12:06] ---
    during the bean-throwing festival
    that she came running home from preschool.
[12:09] Kaos mom
    This is Kaos-sensei who just kept
    catching the kendama on her head.
[12:13] Kaos mom
    This is Kaos-sensei who was shaking
    because she was so scared of Santa.
[12:15] Mom
    I guess you were always crying.
[12:18] Kaos mom
    But the one time she actually stopped
    crying was when she was drawing.

    Mom...

    She was concentrating so hard...
[12:31] ---
    And she was so good!
[12:34] Kaos mom
    Her manga is also the best in the world.
[12:36] ---
    I've given birth to such
    an amazing genius!
[12:39] Mom
    Please don't say that
    in front of the matron!
[12:42] Kaos mom
    You've gotten even better in the issue
    of Chaos that came out yesterday.
[12:46] Kaos
    That's the issue with part one.
[12:48] Kaos mom
    It was so good that I bought a ton of copies
    and handed them out to all of our neighbors.
[12:53] (Flashback) Kaos mom
    Enjoy this issue of Kirara Chaos

    That's so embarrassing! Please stop!
[13:00] Kaos mom
    But it's so good.
[13:02] Kaos
    There are countless people better than me!
[13:05] Kaos
    On top of that,
[13:06] ---
    everyone works so hard...
[13:09] Kaos
    I keep falling further behind...
[13:11] Kaos
    I just got lucky and managed to debut...
[13:14] Kaos
    I'm... not...
[13:17] Kaos mom
    Has drawing become painful for you, too?
[13:22] Kaos mom
    If things are hard, you can come
    back home, Kaoruko-chan.
[13:26] Kaos mom
    Do you want to keep trying,
[13:28] ---
    even though it's so hard
    that it's making you cry?
[13:33] Kaos
    I'm so sorry for being selfish.
[13:36] Kaos mom
    I see.
[13:38] Kaos mom
    You've grown so much!
[13:40] Kaos mom
    You were so tiny!

    M-Mom!
[13:43] ---
    I haven't changed at all!
[13:51] Kaos mom
    Well, shall we go home?
[13:57] Kaos
    I'm going to stay here a bit longer.
[14:01] Kaos mom
    You're not going to come home?
[14:03] Kaos
    There's a manuscript that
    I haven't finished yet.
[14:07] Kaos
    I want to finish it while I'm here,
[14:09] ---
    with my own strength!
[14:16] Kaos mom
    In that case, I'll be waiting at home.
[14:19] Kaos mom
    Is that all right?
[14:21] Mom
    Yes.
[14:22] ---
    The most important thing
    is what the manga artists want.
[14:25] Kaos
    Thank you so much!
[14:37] Kaos
    I have to do my best.
[14:43] Kaos
    What should I do?
[14:44] ---
    My hand still won't move.
[14:46] Kaos
    The other day, everyone was still here...
[14:50] Kaos
    I-I know!

    It's so full of happiness.
[15:13] Kaos
    Oh, no!
[15:15] ---
    I even let my own manga make me cry.
[15:19] Kaos
    I can't believe I drew such a
    dreamy world subconsciously.
[15:24] Kaos
    It's not a given to have friends
    around you who will accept you.

    Matron, thank you for everything.
[17:23] Mom
    I'm glad you were able to get
    everything done without any problems.
[17:26] Mom
    Are you going to go turn it in now?
[17:28] Kaos
    No, I emailed it.
[17:30] Mom
    That must've been hard.
[17:32] ---
    You did this all by yourself.
    I'm so proud.
[17:36] Kaos
    But I almost felt like a
    super-popular manga artist,
[17:39] ---
    so that was fun.
[17:41] Mom
    I-I see...
[17:43] Kaos
    Okay, I'll be going now.
[17:48] Matron
    Take care.
[17:55] Mom
    Now, then...
[17:58] Mom
    I should get ready, too.
[18:14] Kaos
    I forgot to put it on silent!
[18:16] Kaos
    Hello?
[18:17] Edit
    Kaos-sensei, I received your manuscript.
[18:20] Edit
    It was totally at the last minute again.
[18:22] Kaos
    I'm so sorry!
[18:23] Edit
    You need to fix that habit of being
    so late when you have a deadline.
[18:27] Kaos
    I-I'm so sorry!
[18:29] Kaos
    I'm so very sorry!
[18:31] Edit
    It's wonderful, though.
[18:36] Kaos
    U-Um...
[18:37] ---
    What did you just say?
[18:39] Edit
    It's a very good manga.
[18:46] Edit
    Your art has improved, and the story was interesting.
[18:50] Edit
    There was a moment
[18:51] Edit
    where I thought it might've been too soon
    for you to have a two-part guest spot.
[18:56] Edit
    But I'm so glad that you were
    able to accomplish this.
[18:59] Edit
    This is the most of you I've
    seen in your work,
[19:02] Edit
    and I think this is your
    best manuscript yet.
[19:09] Edit

    Kaos-sensei? Can you hear me?
[19:19] Kaos
    I-I can!
SIGN    I forgot to send you the photo that Ri-chan took of us.
[19:34] Kaos
    Koyume-chan?
SIGN    Sorry,
    that was the wrong one.
[20:00] Kaos
    I thank God...
[20:02] Kaos
    that I was...

    able to experience...
[20:07] Kaos
    such a kind world.

    I-I can't... breathe...
[21:55] Kaos
    But...
[21:57] Kaos
    I can finally see everyone again.
[21:59] Kaos
    I can't wait to see them!
[22:10] Koyume
    Ooh! It's so shiny!
[22:17] Koyume
    Kaos-chan!
[22:19] Kaos
    Koyume-chan! I've missed you!
[22:22] Koyume
    Me, too!
[22:24] Koyume
    Let's do our best together again!
[22:25] Kaos
    Yes! Let's—
[22:26] Ruki
    Kaos-chan!
[22:28] Ruki
    I'm glad to see you're well.
[22:33] Kaos
    M-My body... the exhaustion...
[22:35] Ruki
    She wasn't well at all!
[22:38] Tsub
    But...
[22:40] Tsub
    Now we're all back together.
[22:42] Kaos
    Yes.
[22:43] Kaos
    Um... Tsubasa-san, you seem a bit tired.
[22:47] Tsub
    The Demon Lord finally set me free.
[22:50] Ruki
    She's always like this
    when she goes home.
[22:53] Koyume
    How's your manga going, Kaos-chan?
[22:56] Kaos
    A-Actually,
[22:57] ---
    I kept having my storyboards
    rejected, one after another,
[22:59] ---
    so I'm still far away from
    a serialized series.
[23:02] Tsub
    The further the path,
    the more worthy it is to strive for!
[23:05] Tsub
    The more it's worth striving for...
[23:07] ---
    the rougher the path is.
[23:10] Koyume
    Hey, she rephrased it.
[23:11] Ruki
    Tsu-chan's getting back to her old self.
[23:14] Mom
    Girls.
[23:19] Mom
    Welcome back.
[23:20] Koyume
    Ri-chan, we're back!
[23:23] Koyume
    Okay, let's draw some manga!
[23:28] Kaos
    Yeah!
