[00:07] Shii
    I don't wanna wear this, meow, Mama!
[00:12] Shii's mama
    We have important guests coming.
[00:15] Shii's mama
    We must be dressed properly to receive them.
[00:18] Shii
    But it's so hard to move.
[00:22] Shii's mama
    You, too, are a member of our exalted house,
[00:26] Shii's mama
    so don't do anything shameful.
[00:29] Shii's mama
    Your elder brother and sister both
    grew up to be dutiful and refined,
[00:34] Shii's mama
    so why is it that you...
[00:37] Shii's mama
    Are you listening? Make sure to
    give your greetings properly.
[00:40] Shii's mama
    You've practiced your
    greetings, haven't you?

    "DIY" Means Finding a Place to Belong... Finally
[02:32] Kurei
    Okay. Let's go...
[02:34] Kurei
    build a tree house.
[02:38] Jobko
    Do it...
[02:39] Serufu
    Yourself!
[02:45] Shii
    Hi, there!
[02:50] Shii
    I came to play, meow!
[02:54] Serufu
    You came through the roof to play?
[02:56] Takumi
    Why did you meow?
[02:58] Jobko
    Ninja?!
[03:00] Shii
    Nice to meet you!
[03:01] Kurei
    Nice to meet you!
[03:02] Kurei
    Wait... What is all of this?
[03:06] Shii
    I've been wondering about
    this place for a while.
[03:10] Shii
    What a lovely vase hanger!
[03:18] Shii
    That's right! This place...
[03:19] Shii
    is the DIY club, right?
[03:22] Serufu
    That's right! And DIY means...
[03:24] Serufu
    Oh! I'm Yua Serufu!
[03:27] Shii
    Yua Serufu?
SIGN    Jobko
SIGN    Hikage
    Takumi
SIGN    Yua Serufu
SIGN    Yasaku Rei
[03:32] Shii
    Oh, I see!
[03:33] Shii
    It's the perfect name for the DIY club.
[03:36] Shii
    Nice to meet you, Serufucchi!
[03:38] Shii
    I'm a first year at YuuYuu
    Girls' High, Kouki Kokoro.
[03:42] Shii
    My nickname's Shii.
[03:44] Serufu
    Shii-chan!
[03:47] Takumi
    U-Um, I'm H-Hikage Takumi.
[03:50] Takumi
    And... I made that.
[03:54] Shii
    Takumicchi, that's amazing!
[03:57] Shii
    You're really skilled!
[03:59] Takumi
    Th-Thank you.
[04:02] Jobko
    Whoosh!
[04:03] Jobko
    Nin-nin!
[04:05] Jobko
    I am Jobk—
[04:06] Kurei
    Wait, wait, wait!
[04:08] Kurei
    Why are you just accepting this and
    introducing yourselves like it's normal?
[04:11] Kurei
    Why would a YuuVoc student be here?
[04:13] Shii
    Like I said, I've been wondering
    about this place for a while.
[04:16] Kurei
    Even so...
[04:17] Kurei
    Why did you come in through the roof?
[04:19] Shii
    About that!
[04:22] Shii
    From the school building over there...
[04:24] Shii
    the roof was the closest way in,
[04:26] Shii
    so I had no choice, meow!
[04:30] Shii
    Don't worry! I disabled the security on the
     school's windows, so everything's fine!
[04:36] Kurei
    Is that really the issue here?
[04:37] Jobko
    Ninjas can disable security systems?
[04:40] Shii
    If you know the mechanisms
    involved, it's super easy!
[04:43] Shii
    Murmur, murmur, murmur, murmur, murmur...
[04:45] Jobko
    I see. That's definitely a weak spot.
[04:48] Jobko
    We have to tell the security company.
[04:51] Jobko
    That's a ninja for you, a spy, a kunoichi!
[04:54] Shii
    And that's the girl genius,
    Elizabethcchi, for you!
[04:57] Shii
    I thought it might be you, but, meow!
[05:00] Shii
    It's really you!
[05:03] Jobko
    I-I will allow you to address me as Jobko.
[05:07] Shii
    Hi, Jobkocchi!
[05:09] Jobko
    Hi, Shii!
[05:11] Shii
    For the tree house...
[05:12] Shii
    it'd be fun to make it like the kind of
    secret hideout you'd make when you're little.
[05:16] Jobko
    Yes, a secret hideout. Exactly.
[05:19] Serufu
    Something like a ninja house
    might be good, too, right?
[05:21] Shii
    I'd love to build it with you, meow...
[05:22] Kurei
    Hold on!
[05:24] Kurei
    Don't suddenly get all
    friendly with each other!
[05:27] Serufu
    Why not?
[05:29] Shii
    I think I'll probably be pretty helpful.
[05:32] Kurei
    This is the Gata Girls' DIY club, so...
SIGN    Gatagata Girls' High School
    DIY Club
[05:34] Shii
    I think I'm stronger than everyone else here.
[05:39] Shii
    Ahem!
[05:41] Kurei
    Shii, was it?
[05:43] Kurei
    I think saying "everyone" is going too far.
[05:46] Shii
    I don't know about that, meow.
[05:48] Kurei
    Really...
[05:50] Shii
    Meow...
[05:53] Serufu
    They're about to start dueling!
[05:55] Serufu
    Club leader! You can't use hammers, okay?
[05:58] Kurei
    What're you talking about?
[06:01] Kurei
    Hey.
[06:03] Kurei
    I challenge you!
[06:04] Shii
    Just what I was hoping for!
[06:07] Jobko
    Ready?
[06:08] Takumi
    She took on the role of
    referee like it was nothing!
[06:11] Serufu
    Both of you, do your best!
[06:16] Jobko
    Go!
[06:21] Takumi
    I-It's a very close match!
[06:35] Haruko
    What's this?
[06:36] Haruko
    Kokoro-san?
[06:39] Shii
    It's Haru-neechan, meow!
[06:47] Haruko
    It's been quite some time, hasn't it?
[06:49] Shii
    How many years do you think?
[06:51] Shii
    That's right! You started working
    at Gata Girls', didn't you?
[06:54] Shii
    Oh, you won, meow.
[06:58] Serufu
    Haruko-sensei and Shii-chan...
    How do you know each other?
[07:02] Haruko
    Well, Kokoro-san and I...
[07:15] (Flashback) young Shii
    Haru-neechan! I caught a koi!
[07:18] (Flashback) Haruko
    My! Well done, Kokoro-san!
[07:24] (Flashback) young Shii
    Do you think koi can eat sukonbu?
[07:27] (Flashback) Haruko
    Well, let's see. It is seaweed,
     so maybe they can!
[07:31] (Flashback) young Shii
    Can I give it some?
[07:33] (Flashback) Haruko
    Koi-san might think it's too sour,
     so perhaps we shouldn't.
[07:42] Haruko
    Which is why, when Kokoro-san was little
    and her parents came to Japan on business,
[07:48] Haruko
    she came to play at my family's
    house a number of times.
[07:52] Kurei
    Haruko-sensei's family are wealthy,
    goushou-class merchants from the Tohoku region.
[07:56] Takumi
    They are?
[07:58] Serufu
    Wow! Wealthy merchants? That's so cool!
[08:01] Jobko
    Go show?
[08:02] Shii
    Great merchants.
[08:04] Shii
    It's pretty much the same
    as your family, Jobkocchi.
[08:07] Jobko
    Oh, I see.
[08:09] Haruko
    And your parents, too, Kokoro-san.
[08:11] Serufu; Takumi; Kurei; Jobko
    What?
[08:12] Haruko
    The grounds of her family
    home in southeast Asia
[08:14] Haruko
    are extensive, and the house has many rooms.
[08:17] Haruko
    Animals like tigers and lions roam free—
[08:19] Shii
    We don't have tigers or lions, meow.
[08:22] Takumi
    But that's still amazing!
[08:24] Jobko
    What about a ninja house?
[08:25] Shii
    Unfortunately, no.
[08:26] Jobko
    Top secret? I understand.
[08:30] Haruko
    Still, to think you entered
    through the ceiling...
[08:33] Haruko
    You're just as wild and
    adventurous as ever, I see.
[08:37] Takumi
    So that's why... maybe.
[08:39] Haruko
    What?
[08:40] Shii
    Huh?
[08:40] Takumi
    Oh, nothing. Just, YuuVoc has
    elite students from all over the world,
[08:47] Takumi
    so, um, it seemed like they'd
    be hard to approach...
[08:51] Takumi
    At least that's what I expected.
[08:53] Serufu
    Shii-chan is super friendly, isn't she?
[08:58] Haruko
    I had no idea that Kokoro-san
    had enrolled at YuuVoc.
[09:02] Haruko
    Are you living in the dorms?
[09:04] Shii
    Yup!
[09:05] Shii
    And, Haru-neechan, you're the
    advisor for the DIY club, right?
[09:09] Shii
    I want to build a secret hideout
     with everyone. Can I?
[09:13] Haruko
    A secret hideout?
[09:16] Haruko
    I see. That sounds like fun.
[09:19] Haruko
    A tree house that will serve
    as a symbol for the DIY club.
[09:24] Haruko
    Well, you will definitely have
    to draw up a proper plan for it.
[09:28] Haruko
    And you want to build it
    with them, is that right?
[09:32] Shii
    Yeah!
[09:33] (Flashback) young Shii
    Haru-neechan, let's play!
[09:37] (Flashback) young Shii
    My brother and sister won't play with me...
[09:41] Haruko
    I will grant you permission.
[09:44] Shii
    Yay!
[09:45] Serufu
    Isn't that great, Shii-chan?
[09:47] Jobko
    Yeah.
[09:49] Kurei
    Then...
[09:50] Kurei
    that brings our membership to five!
[09:52] Serufu
    That means the DIY club is here to stay!
[09:54] Haruko
    No. Since she's from a different school,
    I can't accept her as an official member.
[10:00] Serufu
    Oh...
[10:02] Haruko
    At most, Kokoro-san will
    be an outside club member.
[10:09] Kurei
    You were really strong when
    we were arm wrestling.
[10:11] Kurei
    I'm looking forward to working with you, Shii.
[10:14] Shii
    Meow!
SIGN    Kouki Kokoro
    Jobko
    Hikage Takumi
    Yua Serufu
    Yasaku Rei
[10:26] Kurei
    Putting up a name tag here in
    seconds... You're really impressive.
[10:29] Serufu
    Shii-chan, I hope you'll
    keep working with us.
[10:32] Takumi
    I look forward to working together.
[10:34] Haruko
    Well then, it's already getting late today,
    so why don't we leave things there?
[10:39] Haruko
    And starting tomorrow,
[10:40] Haruko
    we'll start drawing up a proper
    plan for the secret hideout.
[10:46] Shii
    Okay! I'll see you tomorrow!
[11:02] Serufu
    Bye!
[11:03] Takumi
    She's amazing.
[11:05] Jobko
    So cool!
[11:06] Haruko
    Kokoro-san! Make sure you come
    through the school gates tomorrow!
[11:11] Kurei
    She's something else.
[11:15] Purin
    Kouki-san joined the DIY club? Why?
[11:18] Jobko
    I don't know.
[11:20] Jobko
    Pudding, shouldn't you
    just ask her yourself?
[11:20] Jellyfish-san
    Miku-san. Miku-san.
[11:23] Jellyfish-san
    Miku-san, about the new OS
    we spoke of the other day...
[11:27] Purin
    What is going on here?
[11:30] Jellyfish-san
    Miku-san?
[11:31] Jellyfish-san
    Miku-san?
[11:33] Jellyfish-san
    The OS...
[11:35] Serufu
    This beef tongue is delicious, isn't it?
[11:37] Serufu's mom
    This chicken soboro is delicious, too.
[11:40] Serufu
    Cows can chew on their own delicious
    tongues whenever they want.
[11:43] Serufu
    They must be so happy!
[11:45] Serufu's mom
    Does one's own tongue have
    any flavor, I wonder?
[11:49] Serufu
    They can regurgitate it
    and chew it again, too!
[11:53] Shii
    You don't have to worry.
[11:55] Shii
    The food is good, and my classes are fun.
[12:00] Shii
    Yeah.
[12:02] Shii
    Well, say hi to my big
    brother and sister for me.
[12:07] Shii
    Yeah, I will. Good night, Mama.
[12:20] Shii
    A secret hideout...
[12:22] Shii
    I'm so excited, meow!
[12:41] Purin
    Excuse me, Kouki-san?
[12:43] Shii
    Meow? I said you can call
    me Shii. Just Shii.
[12:48] Purin
    Shii... san.
[12:50] Shii
    Something happen, Suridecchi?
[12:53] Purin
    Well...
[12:54] Shii
    Huh?
[12:55] Purin
    I heard that you joined the
    Gata Girls' DIY club.
[12:58] Purin
    Not that it matters to me. I just
    happened to hear about it, that's all.
[13:03] Purin
    Not that it matters to me.
[13:05] Shii
    I had them make me an outside club member!
[13:07] Purin
    What? Why?
[13:09] Shii
    I guess because it makes me kinda excited.
[13:12] Shii
    And they seem like they have lots of fun.
[13:18] Shii
    Are you interested?
[13:20] Shii
    Suridecchi, you could do
    it with me if you want.
[13:23] Shii
    I'm sure they'd welcome you.
[13:25] Purin
    I-I would never!
[13:28] Purin
    I have no interest in something like DIY.
[13:52] Shii
    The coast's clear.
[14:04] Shii
    Hiya!
[14:07] Kurei
    Honestly. We told you to
    come in like a normal person.
SIGN    Infirmary
[14:12] Haruko
    Well, then...
[14:13] Haruko
    We shall now begin our meeting to discuss
    the plan for the secret hideout.
[14:17] Serufu
    I drew up some concept art!
[14:22] Kurei
    Wow.
[14:23] Haruko
    That's amazing!
[14:25] Shii
    Wow, it's lovely!
[14:29] Jobko
    Nonsense! How is anyone
    supposed to make that?
[14:32] Serufu
    Um, well...
[14:34] Takumi
    It's a wonderful secret base, but...
[14:37] Jobko
    Since we have the chance,
    we should make it a ninja house.
[14:39] Serufu
    That would be great, too!
[14:42] Kurei
    Well, we'll take your feelings
    into consideration, at least.
[14:45] Kurei
    I'd like to begin discussing
    this in more realistic terms.
[14:48] Serufu
    Okay!
[14:49] Kurei
    First, about the size and
    layout of the secret base...
SIGN    Materials
    
    Plywood
    45mm x 4.5mm lumber
    Beams
    2 x 6 lumber
    Wood veneer
    Scrap wood?
    Cedar wood
[14:54] Kurei
    I looked into the bare minimum of materials
    and tools we'd need and made a rough list.
[15:00] Kurei
    We have most of the tools
    we need in the club room,
[15:03] Kurei
    so we probably won't need to buy anything.
[15:05] Kurei
    Now, about the lumber...
[15:08] Kurei
    We can use what we have in the club room,
[15:10] Kurei
    and dismantle old desks and things
    that have been discarded.
[15:13] Kurei
    Then there's also unsalable items from
    my family's shop, Waku Waku Wan Wan.
[15:17] Kurei
    If we use what we can of those...
[15:19] Kurei
    then I don't think we'll need
    to buy very much, but...
[15:23] Kurei
    The problem is the TABs.
[15:25] Serufu
    Question!
[15:26] Kurei
    Serufu.
[15:28] Serufu
    What's a "TAB"?
[15:30] Jobko
    T-A-B, a tree attachment bolt.
[15:33] Jobko
    They're vital for building tree houses.
[15:36] Takumi
    And those TABs are...
[15:38] Kurei
    Expensive.
[15:39] Kurei
    Right now, the budget allotted
    to the DIY club is...
[15:42] Haruko
    80,000 yen.
[15:44] Kurei
    But just to buy the TABs,
    we'd need 120,000 to 130,000 yen.
[15:49] Takumi
    We don't have nearly enough.
[15:51] Jobko
    What? Is that all?
[15:55] Jobko
    With this, cost doesn't matter.
[15:57] Shii
    I can use my savings.
[15:59] Kurei
    We can't do that.
[16:01] Kurei
    Club activity funds and your personal
    finances must be kept strictly separated.
[16:06] Jobko
    Didn't you just say something about
    your family's unsalable items?
[16:11] Kurei
    That's that, and this is this.
[16:14] Kurei
    And to make it work not through financial
    muscle, but through creative ingenuity...
[16:19] Kurei
    That's the heart of DIY.
[16:24] Serufu
    Do it yourself!
[16:25] Jobko
    What happened?!
[16:27] Kurei
    Let's start thinking about what to
    do about the money we lack.
[16:31] Shii
    Meow!
[16:33] Kurei
    Shii.
[16:34] Shii
    So, if we managed to get our hands on more
    lumber, would that free up some money?
[16:39] Kurei
    Of course.
[16:40] Kurei
    Because we wouldn't have to buy it.
[16:42] Shii
    Then I have a great idea!
[16:44] Kurei; Takumi; Jobko
    What?
[16:48] Shii
    This is the place!
[16:51] Serufu
    What's here?
[16:52] Shii
    These!
[16:57] Jobko
    What?
[16:58] Kurei
    They're pallets used for moving things.
[17:01] Shii
    It doesn't look like they're being used,
    so maybe they'll give them to us.
[17:06] Kurei
    I see.
[17:11] Takumi
    H-How did it go?
[17:12] Kurei
    They said we can take as many as we want.
[17:16] Kurei
    As to whether they're usable...
[17:19] Kurei
    Let's take just a few and examine them.
[17:22] Serufu; Takumi
    Okay!
[17:22] Shii
    Okay, meow!
[17:28] Jobko
    These are heavy!
[17:33] Takumi
    This is quite difficult, isn't it?
[17:35] Shii
    Leadercchi, you doing okay?
[17:38] Kurei
    I'm fine.
[17:47] Serufu
    Jobko-chan, fight!
[17:49] Takumi
    Y-You can do it!
[17:55] Jobko
    It's no good. It won't come off.
[17:59] Kurei
    Let me try.
[18:04] Kurei
    Watch.
[18:07] Kurei
    You do it... like this!
[18:16] Kurei
    That's how it works.
[18:18] Serufu; Jobko
    Wow!
[18:20] Takumi
    That's amazing!
[18:21] Shii
    That's our Leadercchi for you!
[18:24] Kurei
    Want to try it?
[18:26] Shii
    Yeah!
[18:29] Kurei
    Hold it lower down.
[18:31] Kurei
    Yes. There. That's good.
[18:35] Kurei
    Use the principle of leverage...
[18:37] Kurei
    like you're scooping upwards...
[18:39] Shii
    Meow!
[18:40] Shii
    Meow?
[18:41] Kurei
    Okay!
[18:42] Serufu
    Shii-chan, you're really good at that!
[18:44] Shii
    I get it. Okay, then...
[18:55] Haruko
    Kokoro-san is quite robust, isn't she?
[18:58] Kurei
    She's got a knack for it.
[19:00] Takumi
    She's so cool!
[19:02] Jobko
    She's like a bulldozer.
[19:12] Serufu
    What do you think, club leader?
[19:14] Kurei
    Well...
[19:16] Kurei
    Shall we test it out?
[19:17] Serufu
    Yes!
[19:19] Kurei
    Then, I would like to use the
    pallet wood to make a wall shelf.
[19:24] Serufu
    Question, club leader!
[19:26] Serufu
    What's a wall shelf?
[19:29] Kurei
    Basically, they're wall-mounted shelves.
[19:31] Kurei
    They can hold small items,
[19:33] Kurei
    or, if you add hooks,
    you can hang bags from them.
[19:36] Serufu
    That might be good!

[20:40] Kurei
    Some parts are rotten and can't be used,
[20:43] Kurei
    but if we separate out what we
     can use and coordinate the sizes...
[20:47] Serufu; Takumi
    We can build our secret hideout!
[20:50] Jobko
    And it'll free up that
    much more money, right?
[20:54] Kurei
    Let's go grab all the pallets!
[20:58] Kurei
    This is all because of you, Shii.
[21:02] Kurei
    Thank you.
[21:08] Shii
    You're very welcome, meow!
[21:17] Shii
    Everything's fine. I'm
    doing really well, meow.
[21:22] Shii
    You don't have to worry, meow. Really.
[21:25] Shii
    I found something fun to do over here.
[21:29] Shii
    Yeah. And I made friends.
[21:35] Shii
    Yeah.
[21:38] Shii
    Okay. Good night.
[21:44] Shii
    Don't worry. I've found a place
    where I feel like I belong.
[21:59] Shii
    "A place to belong"... those are
    do-it-yourself, too! Meow!
