SIGN    Let's play with friends in the forest park!
    How many flowers can you gather?
SIGN    Start!
[00:04] Takuma
    A three.
[00:12] Koshiro
    Asahi-cho, Asahi-cho...
[00:16] Takuma
    Next is Mamoru-kun's turn.
[00:18] Takuma
    I'll roll the dice for him.
SIGN    Goal!
[00:21] Mamoru
    I'll do it!

SIGN    Asahi Supermarket
[00:41] Takuma
    Watch out, Mina-chan!
[00:44] Mina
    A six.
[00:46] Takuma
    No, wait, wait!
[00:48] Takuma
    It's too dark to tell.
[00:54] Mina
    I want to charge a bit, so
    I will be in sleep mode.
[00:57] Mina
    Please touch my hand when you come home.
[01:00] Takuma
    Sure thing.
[01:02] Takuma
    Okay, I'll go buy a fluorescent bulb.
[01:04] Mina
    See you later.

SIGN    #11 This Is My Wife
[02:58] Koshiro
    Is he not home?
[03:04] Koshiro
    Takuma-kun, you here?
[03:08] Koshiro
    Takuma-kun?
[03:11] Koshiro
    Is nobody home? That's not safe.
[03:15] Koshiro
    The door being unlocked must
    mean he's coming back soon.
[03:21] Koshiro
    I think I'll let myself in and surprise him.
[03:27] Koshiro
    The light won't turn on?
[03:30] Koshiro
    Huh? There's no bulb.
[03:41] Koshiro
    There's something there?
[03:53] Koshiro
    O-Oh, it's a robot.
[03:59] Koshiro
    It's solid.
[04:01] Koshiro
    But wouldn't his girlfriend not like
    having a girl-shaped robot around?
[04:06] Koshiro
    And does he really have a
    girlfriend in the first place?
[04:13] (Flashback) Akari
    Oh, this looks like a good date
    spot for Onii-chan and Mina-san!
[04:17] Koshiro
    Akari was making it sound like he does.
[04:21] Koshiro
    Well, maybe I misheard her after all.
[04:25] Koshiro
    He seems to take after me—
    not popular with the ladies.
[04:28] Koshiro
    But Takuma, living on his own, huh?
[04:31] Koshiro
    Time sure does fly.
[04:33] Koshiro
    Oh, I wonder if he's eating properly.
[04:38] Koshiro
    I used to fix meals for him back in the day.
[04:42] Koshiro
    There's raw eggs, meat, and vegetables.
[04:45] Koshiro
    The fridge contents tell me
    he cooks on a regular basis.
[04:50] Koshiro
    Wait, maybe it's that robot
    that's doing the cooking?
[04:58] Koshiro
    The freezer's well stocked, too.
[05:02] Koshiro
    Is this the robot's writing?
SIGN    Chicken
[05:05] Koshiro
    I guess he eats the robot's
    cooking all the time.
[05:09] Koshiro
    Right!
[05:13] Koshiro
    I'm gonna make something tastier
    than that robot ever would.
[05:18] Mina
    What kind of something?
[05:31] Mina
    Are you all right?
[05:33] Koshiro
    The robot?!
[05:35] Mina
    Did I inadvertently frighten you?
[05:38] Koshiro
    It must have started up at some point.
[05:42] Mina
    I spoke up because I concluded
    you had woken me, Koshiro-sama.
[05:47] Koshiro
    H-How do you know my name?!
[05:51] Mina
    Takuma-sama informed me.
[05:53] Mina
    Minegishi Koshiro, age 42. Single.
[05:56] Mina
    You run a bar called Magokoro
    in a neighboring town.
[06:00] Koshiro
    Uh, wha?
[06:02] Koshiro
    Wait, wait.
[06:03] Koshiro
    Why would Takuma tell a robot all that?
[06:07] Mina
    Because I am Takuma-sama's wife.
[06:14] Takuma
    We're home.
[06:16] Takuma
    Mamoru-kun's charge ran out along the way.
[06:23] Takuma
    This smell...
[06:25] Takuma
    Mina-chan?
[06:27] Mina
    Welcome home.
[06:29] Koshiro
    Welcome home.
[06:31] Takuma
    Huh?!
[06:32] Takuma
    Uncle?!
[06:33] Koshiro
    Hey.
[06:35] Takuma
    Wh-What're you doing here?!
[06:37] Koshiro
    Thought I'd surprise you.
[06:40] Takuma
    Did you stop by for any other reason?
[06:42] Koshiro
    Well, hey, never mind that.
[06:45] Koshiro
    I made you some omelet rice.
[06:48] Takuma
    Wow! This takes me back!
[06:50] Takuma
    Thanks, Uncle!
[06:52] Takuma
    I'd love some.
[06:57] Takuma
    So good! I haven't had your
    omelet rice in forever!
[07:01] Koshiro
    Yeah, you know? You really
    do like the way I make it.
[07:07] Mina
    Anticipated rating based
    on Takuma-sama's response:
[07:11] Mina
    98.
[07:14] Koshiro
    Say what, now?
[07:17] Takuma
    I-It's nothing.
[07:19] Koshiro
    Oh no?
[07:22] Koshiro
    By the way, Takuma.
[07:24] Koshiro
    Isn't this a bit in poor taste?
[07:28] Takuma
    "This"?
[07:29] Koshiro
    If you keep playing house with a robot this
    way, you'll never ever find a girlfriend.
[07:35] Takuma
    P-Playing house?
[07:38] Koshiro
    Uh, well...
[07:41] Koshiro
    Based on what the robot was saying,
    it's convinced it's your wife.
[07:46] Koshiro
    That seemed kind of, you know, awful.
[07:49] Takuma
    Awful?
[07:51] Koshiro
    If this is a game to you, or you're doing
    this sort of thing to console yourself,
[07:56] Koshiro
    you should cut it out.
[07:57] Takuma
    Well, except...
[07:59] Mina
    It is Takuma-sama who is
    convinced we are married.
[08:03] Mina
    It is necessary for me to
    respond to that desire.
[08:07] Takuma
    My feelings about this are serious. I mean...
[08:11] Takuma
    I'd like us to be married
    for life, as equals.
[08:17] Koshiro
    No, that's not what I'm
    talking about right now.
[08:21] Koshiro
    You can just get divorced.
[08:23] Takuma
    Huh?
[08:25] Koshiro
    If you try getting married
    and it doesn't work out,
[08:28] Koshiro
    divorce is the most sound option.
[08:30] Koshiro
    It's just that once you're separated,
[08:33] Koshiro
    won't it go from being in a human-equivalent
    relationship to being just a robot?
[08:38] Koshiro
    That means it'll only be treated as equal
    to a human while it's married to you.
[08:44] Koshiro
    I think that's tremendously unfair.
[08:49] Koshiro
    Takuma, I'm saying this because you're
    my nephew and I care about you.
[08:53] Koshiro
    From my point of view,
[08:55] Koshiro
    you seem quite content to reap
    the benefits of that unfairness.
[09:01] Koshiro
    I find that awfully disturbing.
[09:09] Koshiro
    If you say this robot is your wife,
    take that sort of thing into account too.
[09:15] Koshiro
    I think it's because it
    doesn't matter to other people
[09:18] Koshiro
    that you at least have to consider it.
[09:22] Mina
    Koshiro-sama.
[09:29] Mina
    I am myself, whether I am
    with Takuma-sama or not.
[09:35] Takuma
    M-Mina-chan!
[09:38] Takuma
    Uncle!
[09:40] Mina
    How Takuma-sama associates
    with me is between us.
[09:46] Koshiro
    Huh? Do robots get angry?!
[09:56] Mina
    I am not angry.
[09:58] Mina
    A married man has no need
    to take a new lover.
[10:02] Mina
    Please remember all this.
[10:07] Koshiro
    Sorry, sorry.
[10:09] Koshiro
    My bad.
[10:22] Mamoru
    Mina.
[10:24] Mina
    What is it?
[10:26] Mamoru
    What's Takuma doing?
[10:28] Mina
    Probably thinking.
[10:30] Mina
    He has ceased his external activities
    in order to focus his thoughts inward.
[10:35] Mamoru
    What?
[10:37] Mina
    At times like this,
[10:38] Mina
    the right thing to do is wait quietly
    until Takuma-sama makes up his mind.
[10:43] Mamoru
    Quietly?
[10:45] Mina
    Shh. It means, do not talk.
[10:47] Mamoru
    Got it! Won't talk!
[10:52] Takuma
    Okay.
[10:58] Takuma
    Mina-chan!
[10:59] Mina
    Yes, what is it?
[11:00] Takuma
    I'd like us to go to my parents'
    place so I can introduce you.
[11:05] Takuma
    Is that okay?
[11:07] Mina
    Very well.
[11:11] Takuma
    Thank you.
[11:14] Mina
    Should I change clothes?
[11:17] Takuma
    Change clothes?
[11:19] Mina
    A better outward appearance should
    more ably highlight my capabilities.
[11:24] Takuma
    S-Sure.
[11:27] Mina
    Does something look amiss?
[11:28] Takuma
    Uh, no. It's wonderful.
[11:34] Takuma
    Okay.
[11:35] Takuma
    Ready to go?
[11:36] Mina
    Yes.
[11:38] Mamoru
    Where we going?
[11:40] Mina
    We are taking a train to go
    see Takuma-sama's parents.
[11:43] Mina
    There we will show them our capabilities.
[11:46] Mamoru
    What's a train?
[11:48] Mina
    A train is an electric vehicle
    that runs along a track.
[11:52] Mamoru
    What are parents?
SIGN    Mother
SIGN    Father
[11:57] Mina
    They are Takuma-sama's manufacturers.
SIGN    Kosugi Emi
SIGN    Kosugi Daisuke
[12:00] Mina
    His parents are his mother, Kosugi Emi-sama,
    and his father, Kosugi Daisuke-sama.
[12:06] Mina
    Takuma-sama is the child of both.
[12:08] Mamoru
    Takuma said I was like a child.
    Did he manufacture me?
[12:14] Mina
    No, he did not produce or build you.
[12:17] Mina
    I earned you, as my privilege.
[12:21] Mina
    Human beings often find it
    difficult to think rationally.
[12:26] Mina
    That is why they require
    robotic assistance.
[12:28] Mamoru
    Let's do our best to help.
[12:30] Mina
    Yes, indeed.
[12:32] Takuma
    Ready to go?
[12:33] Mina
    Yes.
[12:37] Mamoru
    Train! Train! So fast!
[12:40] Mamoru
    Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
[12:43] Mina
    Mamoru, it is advisable to
    be quiet in public places.
[12:47] Mina
    Shh.
[12:49] Mamoru
    Oh, quietly again.
[12:51] Mina
    Yes. Please enter sleep mode for a while.
SIGN    Kosugi
SIGN    Kosugi
[13:15] Emi
    Coming.
[13:18] Emi
    Ah, there you are! Welcome home!
[13:20] Takuma
    Thanks.
[13:22] Emi
    You surprised us, saying you were
    coming home all of a sudden.
[13:25] Emi
    And so, this girl is your wife?
[13:28] Mina
    How do you do? My name is Mina.
[13:31] Emi
    Well, isn't she cute. And well put-together.
[13:35] Mina
    Yes, my model has the highest
    price-performance ratio of the series.
[13:40] Emi
    Huh.
[13:42] Emi
    Nice to meet you.
    Can you do handshakes?
[13:45] Mina
    I can. Nice to meet you too.
[13:48] Emi
    Solid!
[13:49] Emi
    Dear, it's Takuma! Takuma's come home!
[13:57] Daisuke
    Hey, welcome home!
[14:00] Takuma
    Th-Thanks.
[14:01] Daisuke
    You hanging in there?
[14:03] Takuma
    Y-Yeah.
[14:05] Takuma
    Uh, so, this is...
[14:08] Daisuke
    Hey! Come on inside.
[14:11] Emi
    Yes, do come in!
[14:22] Mina
    Nice to meet you. I am Mina.
[14:24] Daisuke
    Nice to meet you too.
[14:27] Daisuke
    By the way, is work going well?
[14:30] Takuma
    Y-Yeah.
[14:32] Daisuke
    Good, good! You can't beat that!
[14:41] Takuma
    D-Dad.
[14:43] Daisuke
    Huh?
[14:44] Takuma
    U-Um...
[14:52] Emi
    I'll make some tea.
[14:57] Daisuke
    So, I hear you're married?
[15:00] Mina
    Yes.
[15:02] Daisuke
    Well, you know how it is.
[15:04] Daisuke
    That's between you two,
    so do as you see fit.
[15:08] Takuma
    Uh, r-right.
[15:12] Emi
    As long as you're content,
    that's good enough for us.
[15:16] Daisuke
    Yeah.
[15:19] Emi
    We never held out much hope you'd
    have a normal marriage anyway.
[15:27] Takuma
    I see now.
[15:28] Daisuke
    Would love it if you had
    some children, though.
[15:31] Emi
    Oh, you.
[15:34] Takuma
    To them, Mina-chan just
    looks like an appliance.
[15:39] Takuma
    Because she literally is one.
[15:41] Takuma
    And because I can't have a
    relationship with a human woman,
[15:45] Takuma
    I'm a pathetic son who's sidestepping
    my loneliness with a robot girl.
[15:50] Takuma
    It's hard to say they're wrong.
[15:53] Takuma
    Whatever about me, but I wish they
    would treat Mina-chan better.
[15:59] Takuma
    How do I make that happen?
[16:02] Emi
    You'll stay the night, won't you?
    I'll prepare a bath.
[16:06] Mina
    Emi-sama.
[16:08] Mina
    Would it be all right if I used the kitchen
    later to make dinner for Takuma-sama?
[16:13] Emi
    Huh? Yes, of course!
[16:16] Emi
    Oh, in that case, could we ask
    you to make enough for us, too?
[16:20] Mina
    Very well.
[16:22] Emi
    Use anything in the fridge.
[16:25] Mina
    All right.
[16:33] Emi
    Thank you, Takuma.
[16:34] Takuma
    Sure.
[16:37] Takuma
    Hey, Mom.
[16:40] Takuma
    With Mina-chan, she can keep running almost
    indefinitely as long as there's sunlight.
[16:46] Takuma
    Isn't that amazing?
[16:48] Emi
    Even though she's a robot
    who cooks at home?
[16:51] Takuma
    Y-Yeah.
[16:53] Takuma
    And sometimes, she makes dishes
    that aren't in her registry.
[16:57] Emi
    Oh, she does?
[16:59] Emi
    Want me to file a complaint
    with the manufacturer?
[17:01] Takuma
    No, that's not what I meant.
[17:04] Takuma
    Also, well...
[17:07] Takuma
    Sometimes she squeezes me
    so hard, I think...
[17:14] Takuma
    I might break.
[17:16] Emi
    Is she broken?
[17:17] Takuma
    Sh-She's not broken!
[17:20] Takuma
    And, she also has...
[17:22] Takuma
    Oh!
[17:23] Takuma
    She has an insulation function, so if I
    want a warm towel, it doesn't take long!
[17:29] Emi
    Oh, that's handy.
[17:31] Takuma
    Yeah, yeah!
[17:32] Takuma
    It's han—
[17:35] Takuma
    Huh?
[17:36] Takuma
    What've I been saying?
[17:40] Takuma
    All I'm doing is bragging about how
    great an appliance Mina-chan is.
[17:48] Takuma
    I'll never manage to improve their
    perspective on her this way.
[17:55] Takuma
    No.
[17:56] Takuma
    There's no need to fret over it.
[17:59] Takuma
    I just have to get them to understand
    Mina-chan's the best wife in the world!
[18:04] Takuma
    But how?
[18:07] (Flashback) Daisuke
    Would love it if you had
    some children, though.
[18:10] (Flashback) Emi
    Oh, you.
[18:15] (Flashback) Mamoru
    Takuma!
[18:17] Takuma
    That's right, Mamoru-kun!
[18:20] Takuma
    I'll show him to them!
[18:21] Takuma
    I bet I can get them with cuteness!
[18:24] Takuma
    Mamoru-kun!
[18:26] Mina
    His battery ran out, and he is charging.
[18:30] Takuma
    Discussing this stuff with my
    parents tires me out like crazy.
[18:34] Mina
    I will go make dinner.
[18:36] Takuma
    Tell me if anything comes up.
[18:38] Mina
    All right.
[18:43] Takuma
    I know what they said, but I
    wonder if they're disappointed.
[18:48] Takuma
    But I've decided to
    live with Mina-chan!
[18:55] Takuma
    Even if I can't get them to understand,
[18:57] Takuma
    I've got to put my foot down!
[19:02] Emi
    Beer, beer...
[19:15] Mina
    Hello.
[19:17] Mina
    I am making dinner.
[19:19] Mina
    I apologize for startling you.
[19:22] Emi
    Y-You don't turn on the lights?
[19:26] Mina
    The light from my eyes is enough for
    me to discern the visual situation,
[19:30] Mina
    so I do not need that illumination.
[19:32] Emi
    Oh, okay!
[19:34] Emi
    Robots are amazing!
[19:38] Emi
    Uh, what? You see a bug?
[19:41] Mina
    Is there a bug?
[19:42] Emi
    There isn't one?
[19:43] Mina
    I do not see one.
[19:46] Emi
    By the way...
[19:48] Emi
    What smells so good? Curry?
[19:51] Mina
    Yes. It just finished.
[19:54] Emi
    Thanks for always cooking for Takuma.
[19:58] Mina
    No problem.
[20:00] Emi
    Do you enjoy cooking?
[20:02] Mina
    I make food for the sake
    of my owner's health.
[20:05] Mina
    That is what I was born to do, so I do it.
[20:08] Mina
    I have never done so based
    on whether I enjoy it.
[20:10] Emi
    You mean it's your job?
[20:12] Mina
    In effect.
[20:15] Emi
    Right. It's like that for me too.
[20:18] Emi
    Even when I'd rather do anything else,
     I find a way to power through.
[20:23] Mina
    That is praiseworthy, Emi-sama.
[20:25] Emi
    Oh yeah?
[20:26] Emi
    Thanks.
[20:29] Emi
    Is there anything hard about
    being... married... to Takuma?
[20:34] Mina
    I am not designed to be a wife,
    so there are difficulties at times.
[20:38] Emi
    Yeah, yeah, that's true.
[20:42] Emi
    You got that right!
[20:43] Emi
    It's like that for humans too.
[20:47] Emi
    Nobody's made to be a wife or a husband.
[20:52] Mina
    Is that the case?
[20:54] Emi
    It is.
[20:55] Emi
    And despite that, we try to live together
    as a single unit called a family.
[21:00] Mina
    That is challenging.
[21:02] Emi
    It sure is.
[21:03] Emi
    There are all sorts of problems when
    people decide to live together.
[21:08] Emi
    Sometimes it even seems like the
    entire family is against you.
[21:12] Mina
    What is required for it to work well?
[21:16] Emi
    Effort.
[21:19] Emi
    Only effort finally makes us into a family.
[21:23] Mina
    I have some experience with effort.
[21:27] Emi
    Then you'll be okay.
[21:30] Mina
    Yes.
[21:31] Takuma/Emi/Daisuke
    Time to eat!
[21:37] Emi
    Holy cow, this is good!
[21:41] Daisuke
    Yeah, it's yummy!
[21:43] Takuma
    I-I know, right!
[21:45] Takuma
    See! See! Mina-chan's the best!
[21:50] Emi
    Another bug?
