[01:30] Episode Title Text
    "Meemi and Her Dad."
[01:33] Narrator
    This is the home of Meemi,
    Gunma-chan's friend.
[01:37] Meemi's Dad
    Honey, how's your schedule today?
[01:40] Meemi's Mom
    I have a costume fitting
    and then a rehearsal after this.
[01:44] Narrator
    Meemi's mom is an actor.
[01:47] Meemi's Dad
    Do you need dinner?
[01:49] Meemi's Mom
    I have a meeting
    in the evening, so I'm okay.
[01:53] Meemi's Dad
    Okay, take care.
[01:55] Meemi's Mom
    Thanks.
[01:57] Meemi's Mom
    You have a good day working, too!
[01:59] Meemi's Dad
    Y-Yeah... I will.
[02:01] Meemi's Dad
    I've got the plot sorted out...
[02:04] Meemi's Dad
    mostly.
[02:05] Narrator
    Meemi's dad is an author.
[02:09] Narrator
    A "plot" is kind of like
    the blueprint of a novel.
[02:14] Meemi
    Have a good day!
[02:19] Meemi
    Mom left for work, Dad...
[02:24] Meemi's Dad
    Oh, Meemi.
[02:25] Meemi
    Are you okay?
[02:27] Meemi's Dad
    It's just that I've noticed
    a contradiction in my plot...
[02:31] Meemi
    What are you going to do?
[02:33] Meemi's Dad
    Well, I have no choice but
    to make it flow as best as I can...
[02:38] Meemi's Dad
    But...
[02:39] Meemi
    You look pretty stressed.
[02:42] Meemi's Dad
    I can't work any harder!
[02:46] Meemi
    I know, I know.
[02:47] Meemi
    Because you already work so hard. Right?
[02:51] Meemi's Dad
    That's right!
[02:53] Meemi
    Because writing novels is 100 times
    harder than reading them. Right?
[02:58] Meemi
    And you want me to just watch
    on and support you from afar?
[03:02] Meemi's Dad
    Yes, exactly!
[03:03] Meemi's Dad
    Meemi... Thank you...
[03:07] Meemi
    It's okay.
[03:08] Meemi
    I'm your daughter, so of course I support you.
[03:11] Meemi's Dad
    Thank you Meemi!
[03:14] Dad
    You keep me going!
[03:19] Meemi
    You can count on me!
[03:21] Meemi
    But...
[03:24] Meemi
    He's usually a great dad,
[03:26] Meemi
    but it can be exhausting when he's writing.
[03:30] Meemi
    I'm just a kid and it's too much for me!
[03:33] Meemi
    I might be the most
    unfortunate girl in Gunma.
[03:37] Meemi
    But that won't keep me down!
[03:43] Meemi
    The handsome lead vocal, Tama!
[03:46] Meemi
    The spiky-haired guitarist, Nora!
[03:49] Meemi
    The cool and collected bassist, Tora!
[03:52] Meemi
    The mohawk drummer, Buchi!
[03:55] Meemi
    We are the rock band the Meows! Meow!
[03:59] Meemi
    Meow!
[04:01] Meemi
    As long as I have the Meows, I'll be okay.
[04:03] Meemi
    I got ahold of next month's concert tickets,
[04:06] Meemi
    so I have something to look
    forward to while encouraging dad.
[04:10] Meemi
    Meow!
[04:13] Meemi's Dad
    Maybe there's some way to use the plot as is
[04:16] Meemi's Dad
    and whip together
    a surprising twist at the end...
[04:19] Meemi's Dad
    The murdered victim is actually....
[04:22] Meemi's Dad
    Actually...
[04:26] Meemi's Dad
    Yes, that could work...
[04:29] Meemi's Dad
    That could work!
[04:32] Meemi
    Dad...
[04:34] Meemi's Dad
    Meow-ahh!
[04:36] Meemi
    Dad, I made some tea... Are you okay?
[04:40] Meemi's Dad
    I-I'm fine. Thanks for the tea.
[04:44] Meemi's Dad
    I don't want to be rude,
    but could you give me some alone time?
[04:49] Meemi
    Okay.
[05:00] Meemi
    Hey, Aoma...
[05:02] Aoma
    What?
[05:03] Meemi
    Living is hard.
[05:06] Aoma
    Wha?! What's that about?
[05:10] Aoma
    Oh, by "hard" do you mean like, not fun?
[05:17] Meemi
    Well, some things are hard but still fun.
[05:21] Aoma
    That's true.
[05:28] Aoma
    I bet it's nice being Gunma-chan.
[05:30] Aoma
    He probably doesn't have any problems.
[05:32] Meemi
    So true.
[05:37] Gunma-chan
    Oh, you guys have problems?
[05:43] Gunma-chan
    You're such grown-ups.
[05:45] Meemi/Aoma
    No, we're kids!
[05:47] Gunma-chan
    Oh, okay...
[05:49] Meemi
    I'm home.
[05:52] Meemi
    Dad, I'm home.
[05:54] Meemi's Dad
    Welcome home, Meemi.
[05:56] Meemi's Dad
    I came up with a good
    solution after you left.
[06:00] Meemi's Dad
    And I even changed the culprit
    to someone completely unexpected.
[06:05] Meemi's Dad
    This one's good...
[06:06] Meemi's Dad
    This one's really good!
[06:08] Meemi
    That's good.
[06:10] Meemi's Dad
    I didn't realize the time.
[06:13] Meemi's Dad
    Let's make dinner.
[06:14] Meemi
    I'll help.
[06:16] Gunma-chan
    Gunma Power!
[06:18] Narrator
    Nice work, Gunma-chan.
[06:20] Narrator
    Perfect timing.
[06:21] Meemi
    Looks so good!
[06:23] Meemi's Dad
    Your help made this the perfect dinner!
[06:29] Meemi
    We'll say you made it yourself.
[06:32] Meemi
    We don't want Mom to get mad.
[06:34] Meemi's Dad
    Thanks, Meemi!
[06:36] Meemi's Dad
    Your mom is nice, but strict about rules...
[06:39] Meemi's Dad
    Adults have it hard, too...
[06:42] Meemi
    Roger that!
[06:45] Meemi's Mom
    I'm home.
[06:46] Meemi
    Welcome home.
[06:47] Meemi's Mom
    I'm sorry I'm so late.
[06:50] Meemi
    It's totally fine!
[06:51] Meemi
    Dad has everything under control.
[06:55] Meemi's Mom
    Really?
[06:58] Meemi's Dad
    O-Of course.
[07:00] Meemi's Dad
    I've been working hard all day with
    the house and cooking as Meemi's Dad.
[07:05] Meemi's Mom
    Is that so.
[07:07] Meemi's Mom
    I might go ahead and play detective, then.
[07:09] Meemi's Dad
    No, no. That's fine, honey.
[07:12] Meemi's Dad
    I'm sure you're tired from work.
[07:14] Meemi's Dad
    Why don't you relax when you're at home?
[07:19] Meemi
    Dad really was working hard all day.
[07:21] Meemi's Dad
    Thanks, Meemi!
[07:24] Meemi's Dad
    Did you hear that, honey?
[07:25] Meemi's Dad
    Do you believe me now?
[07:27] Meemi's Mom
    Okay, okay. Good work today.
[07:38] Meemi
    Having to take care of adults all day
[07:40] Meemi
    makes it rough for kids, too...
[07:42] Meemi
    I can't wait for the Meows concert!
[07:49] Meemi
    Today was so exhausting...
[07:55] Meemi
    Come on, everyone!
[07:57] Meemi
    Let's rock on!
[07:58] Meemi
    Give it everything you got!
[08:01] Meemi
    Meow!
[08:03] Gunma-chan
    Meemi Power... 100%!

    "Aoma Stays at Home."
[08:14] Narrator
    This is the home of Aoma,
    Gunma-chan's friend.
[08:17] Aoma
    And then yesterday, Gunma-chan...
[08:20] Aoma's Dad
    Aoma, let's not talk while we're eating.
[08:24] Aoma's Mom
    That's right, sweetie. It's bad manners.
[08:26] Aoma
    Okay...
[08:27] Narrator
    Aoma's mom and dad are both school teachers.
[08:33] Aoma's Mom
    Lunch is in the fridge,
    so heat it up when you want to eat.
[08:37] Aoma's Dad
    Gaming is limited to an hour a day.
[08:40] Aoma's Mom
    I laid out your homework for you,
    so finish that, too.
[08:43] Aoma
    Okay...
[08:52] Aoma
    Special Attack!
[08:53] Aoma
    Underworld Typhoon!
[09:02] Aoma
    I'm not done yet!
[09:07] Aoma
    How about this! And take that!
[09:13] Aoma
    Yes! Gotcha!
[09:15] Aoma
    Phew, that was a good round.
[09:20] Aoma
    Oops, it's been over two hours...
[09:24] Aoma
    I might be the real bad guy not
    listening to my parents like this.
[09:32] Aoma
    It's only 11 o'clock, but...
[09:35] Aoma
    I'm the type...
[09:36] Aoma
    To eat lunch whenever I want!
[09:40] Aoma
    I'm such a baddie. Thanks for the meal!
[09:43] Aoma
    Yum, so good.
[09:49] Aoma
    And since I don't like veggies,
[09:52] Aoma
    I'll just set them off to the side.
[09:55] Aoma
    Man, I'm an outlaw!
[10:00] Aoma
    With both of my parents being so strict,
[10:03] Aoma
    people probably expect
    their kid to be the same.
[10:07] Aoma
    But not me!
[10:10] Aoma
    I'm the prince of the land of beds!
[10:13] Aoma
    So I'll nap as much as I want from noon on.
[10:26] Aoma
    I can't sleep...
[10:28] Aoma
    It's not cause I was told to do my homework.
[10:31] Aoma
    I just suddenly wanted to study, that's all.
[10:40] Aoma
    I can't do this anymore!
[10:41] Aoma
    30 minutes a day tops, that's just who I am!
[10:45] Narrator
    Considering that, he's rather diligent.
[10:49] Aoma
    Someone's gossiping about me.
[10:54] Aoma
    Maybe I'll go for a walk
    for a change of pace.
[11:13] Meemi
    Hey, Aoma...
[11:15] Aoma
    What?
[11:16] Meemi
    Living is hard.
[11:19] Aoma
    Wha?! What's that about?
[11:23] Aoma
    Oh, by "hard" do you mean like, not fun?
[11:29] Meemi
    Well, some things are hard but still fun.
[11:34] Aoma
    That's true.
[11:41] Aoma
    I bet it's nice being Gunma-chan.
[11:43] Aoma
    He probably doesn't have any problems.
[11:45] Meemi
    So true.
[11:50] Gunma-chan
    Oh, you guys have problems?
[11:56] Gunma-chan
    You're such grown-ups.
[11:58] Meemi/Aoma
    No, we're kids!
[12:00] Gunma-chan
    Oh, okay...
[12:03] Aoma
    See ya!
[12:06] Aoma/Gunma-chan
    Gun-gun!
[12:07] Aoma/Gunma-chan
    The two of us are off, gally as can be
[12:11] Aoma/Gunma-chan
    Gun-gun, off we go
[12:14] Aoma/Gunma-chan
    Off to see the land of Gunma
[12:21] Aoma
    That was a nice change of pace.
[12:23] Gunma-chan
    That's good.
[12:25] Aoma
    When I talk with you,
    I just feel much lighter.
[12:29] Gunma-chan
    Like after you drink cider?
[12:32] Aoma
    ...Not really.
[12:34] Gunma-chan
    Oh, okay.
[12:35] Aoma
    Oh yeah, Gunma-chan.
[12:37] Aoma
    It looked like Meemi was
[12:39] Aoma
    kinda in a rut, so let's
    send her some Gunma Power.
[12:46] Gunma-chan
    Gunma Power!
[12:56] Aoma
    You wanna go home?
[12:57] Gunma-chan
    Yeah.
[12:59] Aoma's Mom/Dad
    We're home.
[13:01] Aoma
    Welcome home.
[13:04] Aoma
    Yes, hamburg steak!
[13:06] Aoma's Mom
    Sorry about the wait.
[13:07] Aoma's Dad
    I made some salad.
[13:11] Aoma's Dad
    And... I found someone else's hidden salad.
[13:17] Aoma's Mom
    Oh look, we get to eat so many vegetables.
[13:20] Aoma
    Darn.
[13:21] Aoma's Dad
    I didn't like veggies
    when I was a kid, either.
[13:26] Aoma's Dad
    And now, I love vegetables.
[13:29] Aoma
    Really?
[13:31] Aoma's Mom
    He changed.
[13:32] Aoma's Dad
    I grew up.
[13:34] Aoma
    You grew up?
[13:37] Aoma's Dad
    I did. Before I knew it, I was an adult.
[13:40] Aoma
    What?
[13:40] Aoma
    You just turned into an adult
    from a little kid?
[13:43] Aoma's Mom
    It was the same for me, too.
[13:46] Aoma
    Oh yeah, everyone was a kid at one point...
[13:49] Narrator
    That's right. Did you all know?
[13:52] Narrator
    All adults were once kids.
[13:57] Aoma
    Kids sure are busy.
[14:00] Aoma
    There's so much we have to do
    before we become adults.
[14:14] Aoma
    Meemi, Gunma-chan! Let's get in formation.
[14:16] Meemi/Gunma-chan
    Roger that!

    even if I go play here Aoma
    won't be home, so...
