[00:07] Takeru
    Okay...
[00:09] Takeru
    I need to pull up the weeds
    in this yard today.
[00:16] Takeru
    Um... Was that little house there before?
[00:22] Nya
    What a nice morning!
[00:26] Nya
    Oh, Takeru! Good morning!
[00:28] Nya
    Meow! I'm so embarrassed
    to be seen like this!
[00:32] Takeru
    My house is an illegal construction now!
SIGN    Dragon
[00:35] Nya
    This is my house. Dora-tan used
    Sol/Lull to make it for me!
[00:39] Nya
    It's really amazing!
[00:41] Takeru
    Yeah, it's amazing,
    but that's not the point!

[02:39] Nya
    I had Dora-tan build it while
[02:41] Nya
    she was fixing your house
    between episodes 1 and 2.
[02:44] Dora
    It's my apology for destroying
    your house with my Sol/Lull.
[02:48] Takeru
    That doesn't work as an apology at all.
[02:50] Uri
    By the way, this is where I'm living now.
[02:53] Takeru
    The basement?!
[02:54] Dora
    It's a bonus apology.
[02:55] Takeru
    I didn't need a bonus.
[02:57] Dora
    They aren't taking away
    from your living space.
[03:00] Dora
    What's the problem?
[03:01] Takeru
    That's true, but...
[03:03] Dora
    You didn't say anything
    about it in episode 2,
[03:06] Dora
    so I thought it was okay...
[03:08] Nya
    Right, right.
[03:09] Takeru
    Wait, you keep saying
    "episode 1" and "episode 2."
[03:11] Takeru
    What are you talking about?
[03:12] Dora
    Oh, don't worry about that.
[03:14] Nya
    Right, right.
SIGN    Leave breakfast
    to me! Meow!
[03:16] Nya
    Come to think of it, you haven't
[03:19] Nya
    gone out to the yard since
    the house was fixed.
[03:22] Takeru
    You're right, I haven't...
[03:30] Takeru
    Well, all right.
[03:32] Nya
    Meow yeah!
[03:36] Nya
    Now that I have your approval, Takeru,

    I'm ready to buy furniture for my new home!

    Fidget, fidget...
[03:43] Takeru
    Can't you have Dora-tan
    make that for you, too?
[03:46] Nya
    Fidget, fidget...
[03:47] Dora
    Wouldn't it be more of a fun event if
[03:48] Dora
    the two of you shopped together?

    It's an activity for IRL happiness.

    I don't think that would be fun for me.
[03:56] Nya
    Aww!
[03:57] Nya
    I want to shop with you, Takeru!
[04:00] Nya
    Isn't there anything you need?
[04:03] Takeru
    Not on the spur of the moment like this...

    I wanna go shopping!
[04:06] Takeru
    Oh, that's right.
    I think I'm out of sesame oil.
[04:10] Uri
    Th-That's an emergency!
[04:12] Uri
    Hurry! Quickly! We have to
    go buy some right now!
[04:17] Takeru
    You're really psyched up for this...
[04:19] Uri
    Sesame oil is the treasure of humankind.
[04:22] Takeru
    You're not a human.
[04:25] Uri
    In the face of sesame oil,

    such details are no more
    significant than a sesame seed!

    I like this one! I'll take it!
[04:57] Takeru
    It's pretty expensive. Is that okay?
[05:00] Nya
    That's no problem!

    We don't know, either.
[17:15] Uri
    It's a fate that has bound rats
    and cats for thousands of years.
[17:19] Takeru
    Fate? You mean that story about
    the rat tricking the cat
[17:22] Takeru
    so it couldn't participate in the
    gods' race to join the zodiac?
[17:25] Dora
    It's true that the ETM12 of
[17:28] Dora
    2,000 years ago was a footrace.
[17:31] Shima
    And the twelve Zodiac gods chosen
    then were the current twelve.
[17:35] Takeru
    But that means the cat should hate the rat.
[17:38] Takeru
    Why does Chu-tan hate Nya-tan?
[17:42] Takeru
    And why did the rat trick the
    cat in the first place?
