**[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!

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.

They can hold small items,
**[19:33] Kurei**
or, if you add hooks,

Some parts are rotten and can't be used,

**[20:50] Jobko**
And it'll free up that

**[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.

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!
