[00:04] Takuma
    It's still only the third day.
[00:14] Takuma
    I guess I'll eat something.
SIGN    Day 4
SIGN    Day 3
[00:19] Takuma
    Today, it's ginger fried pork.
[00:22] Takuma
    Tomorrow, it's chicken and daikon
    radish cooked in black vinegar.
[00:25] Takuma
    They both sound yummy.
SIGN    Ultra Cup 1.5x

[00:28] Takuma
    But I'll have this today!
[00:30] Takuma
    Sorry, Mina-chan!
[00:31] Takuma
    I'll eat all your premade food next time.
[00:35] Takuma
    Oh, it's been so long.
[00:39] Takuma
    This stuff's been off limits
    since Mina-chan got here.
[00:49] Takuma
    Good stuff!
[00:50] Takuma
    Mmm, tasty!
[00:58] Takuma
    That was great.
[01:00] Takuma
    And next up...
SIGN    Potato Chips Seaweed & salt

[01:04] Takuma
    I went and bought these, too!

[01:32] Takuma
    Did I order something?
SIGN    Ichijo Robotics Inc.
[01:36] Takuma
    It's from the robot maker.
[01:38] Takuma
    Maybe Mina-chan ordered
    it from the catalog?
[01:46] Takuma
    Huh?

[03:32] Takuma
    There's a letter.
SIGN    Kosugi Takuma-sama,
    I ordered a robot for my period of absence.
    While I am at the factory, it can be linked to
    me so I can control it remotely. All necessary
    data has been configured, so please set up its
    internet connection. Please start by charging
    the robot. The red light will come on.
[03:34] Takuma
    I ordered a robot for my period of absence.
[03:39] Takuma->Mina
    While I am at the factory, it can be linked
    to me so I can control it remotely.
[03:44] Mina
    All necessary data has been configured,
    so please set up its internet connection.
[03:51] Mina
    Please start by charging the robot.
[03:54] Mina
    The red light will come on.
[03:57] Takuma
    It lit up.
[03:59] Mina
    Please press down on the
    robot's head for ten seconds,
[04:02] Mina
    as this will initiate the
    Wi-Fi auto connection.
[04:09] Mina
    The blinking green light indicates the
    auto connection setup process is active.
[04:14] Mina
    Once it stops, connection is complete.
[04:19] Takuma
    It stopped.
[04:31] Mina
    Takuma-sama.
[04:33] Takuma
    Mina-chan!
[04:34] Mina
    What is that?
[04:35] Takuma
    Huh?
[04:39] Mina
    Did you ingest all of that?
[04:42] Takuma
    Oh crap!
[04:44] Takuma
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[04:45] Mina
    You seem to have imbibed much alcohol.
[04:47] Mina
    Please drink lots of water.
[04:50] Takuma
    I will.
[04:56] Mina
    The next time you buy alcohol,
    I recommend also buying mineral water.
[05:01] Takuma
    Okay...
[05:04] Mina
    Sorry, but would you mind
    opening the refrigerator?
[05:10] Mina
    The only thing uneaten is
    today's dinner portion.
[05:14] Takuma
    Yeah, today's the
    first day I pigged out.
[05:17] Takuma
    Listen, tomorrow I'll eat
    all the food you prepared.
[05:21] Mina
    That will not do.
[05:22] Mina
    Let us dispose of today's dinner portion.
[05:25] Takuma
    Huh?
[05:25] Mina
    Partaking of too much nourishment
    at once would be harmful.
[05:28] Takuma
    But it's wasteful.
[05:30] Mina
    True, it would constitute a loss.
[05:32] Mina
    But forcing oneself to eat
    yields nothing but drawbacks,
[05:35] Mina
    and that would
    constitute a bigger loss.
[05:38] Takuma
    I guess that's true.
[05:40] Mina
    I have heard that, unlike with robots,
[05:43] Mina
    almost no human body parts
    can be replaced if broken.
[05:47] Mina
    If not used with care, they are
    likely to break one by one,
[05:50] Mina
    and be reduced to scrap in the end.
[05:54] Mina
    I concluded that your parts are
    more important than a single meal.
[06:00] Takuma
    R-Right.
[06:03] Takuma
    Mina-chan!
[06:06] Mina
    The alcohol content on
    your breath is quite high.
[06:09] Mina
    You are technically intoxicated.
[06:11] Takuma
    How can you tell?
[06:13] Mina
    It is a feature of this robot.
[06:15] Mina
    It cannot do housework,
[06:16] Mina
    but it is equipped with high-end
    sensors for monitoring human health.
[06:21] Mina
    I exchanged some points, thinking we
    could more carefully manage your health.
[06:27] Takuma
    Now I get it.
[06:29] Mina
    The robot is called Mimamorius 3.
[06:33] Takuma
    Oh, that's...
SIGN    It looks after
    your loved ones.

    ...the one that keeps an
    eye on elderly people.
[06:43] employee
    Here is your order.
[06:45] employee
    Thank you for shopping with us.
[06:47] Takuma
    Sure thing.
[06:49] Takuma
    I'm home.
[06:52] Mina
    Welcome home. Were you
    able to buy ingredients?
[06:55] Takuma
    Yeah.
[06:56] Takuma
    The pre-made stuff has run out, and I'll
    do my best to cook until you get home.
[07:01] Takuma
    All I had to do was pick up the online
    order you placed with the grocery store.
[07:06] Takuma
    Nice and easy.
SIGN    Vegetable Mix
SIGN    Washed and ready to use.
SIGN    A perfect addition to your everyday meals
SIGN    Boneless pork rib
    Domestic super pork
SIGN    Yakiniku
    sauce
[07:10] Takuma
    Now, what should I make with this?
[07:13] Mina
    Fry the meat and chopped
    vegetables in a frying pan,
[07:16] Mina
    then put a suitable amount of yakiniku
    sauce on top, and it will be complete.
[07:19] Mina
    Anyway, try frying it.
[07:21] Takuma
    Huh? Isn't that too simple?
[07:23] Mina
    That is no problem.
[07:25] Mina
    Once you add the yakiniku sauce, you
    will find it much to your liking.
[07:28] Takuma
    Yay!
[07:30] Takuma
    You're not going to teach me how to cook?
[07:33] Mina
    Unfortunately, that is not possible.
[07:35] Mina
    I am a robot geared toward preparation,
[07:39] Mina
    so the only way I can cook is according
    to steps optimized as closely
[07:43] Mina
    as possible to perfection.
[07:46] Mina
    Reconstructing the steps for
    human use would be difficult,
[07:50] Mina
    and I concluded it would be
    impossible to do so for you,
[07:53] Mina
    as you are unfamiliar with cooking.
[07:59] Takuma
    Okay.
[08:00] Takuma
    Well, time to cook.
[08:02] Mina
    Do your best.
[08:04] Mina
    I will be looking at the ceiling, so
    please call out when you are done.
[08:08] Takuma
    The ceiling?
[08:10] Takuma
    I guess she can't bear
    to watch sucky cooking.
[08:13] Takuma
    She's lost her temper before,
    watching me prepare food.
[08:17] Mina
    Cook the meat first, then once its
    color changes, add the vegetables.
[08:21] Mina
    From there, do as you see fit.
[08:24] Takuma
    G-Got it.
[08:25] Mina
    I will also turn off my audio sensors,
    so once the cooking is done,
[08:29] Mina
    please alert me by pressing
    down on my head.
[08:31] Takuma
    Sure.
[08:38] Takuma
    That was great.
[08:40] Takuma
    Like, way better than
    I expected it to be.
[08:44] Takuma
    Wonder if it's because
    I made it myself.
[08:46] Mina
    Anticipated rating based
    on response: 92.
[08:53] Mina
    Never mind.
[08:57] Takuma
    Well, guess I'll clean this stuff up.
[09:01] Mina
    Just a moment, please.
[09:12] Takuma
    It's lonely here without you!
[09:15] Mina
    Please put up with it for ten more days.
[09:22] Mina
    Body temperature, blood pressure,
    etc., all at normal levels.
[09:25] Mina
    I am done now.
[09:27] Takuma
    You were taking measurements?
[09:28] Mina
    Yes.
[09:30] Mina
    Is something wrong?
[09:32] Takuma
    I-It's nothing.
SIGN    Mina-chan

    factory
SIGN    Welcome
    home,
     Mina-chan!
[09:37] Takuma
    We had a fun time, even if
    she wasn't here in person.
[09:46] Takuma
    And it flew by before I knew it.
[09:50] Takuma
    So good!
[09:54] Takuma
    I'm still lonely, though.
[09:56] Takuma
    And she turns off the connection at night.
[10:00] Takuma
    Two more days...
[10:04] Takuma
    I'll get some sleep.
[10:07] Mamoru
    —kuma.
[10:13] Mamoru
    Takuma...
[10:15] Takuma
    Huh?
[10:17] Takuma
    Did she not shut off
    the connection?
[10:19] Mamoru
    Takuma.
[10:20] Takuma
    Her voice sounds a little odd, too.
[10:23] Mamoru
    There is stress response.
[10:25] Mamoru
    Stress, bad for you.
[10:27] Mamoru
    Don't stress.
[10:29] Takuma
    That's easier said than done.
[10:31] Mamoru
    I call ambulance?
[10:33] Takuma
    No ambulance.
[10:34] Mamoru
    Tell me what I can do.
[10:41] Takuma
    Am I just out of it?
[10:43] Takuma
    Okay, hold my hand.
[10:54] Takuma
    Ah, this helps me relax.
[10:58] Takuma
    My stress is all gone.
[11:01] Mamoru
    G-Good.
[11:04] Takuma
    Good night.
[11:05] Mamoru
    G-Good night...
[11:08] Mamoru
    Takuma.
[11:18] Takuma
    She went back to her charging
    platform after I fell asleep.
[11:25] Takuma
    What's with all the staring?
[11:26] Mamoru
    Takuma.
[11:27] Mamoru
    Takuma, awake.
[11:29] Takuma
    I am.
[11:30] Mamoru
    G-Good mor...
    G-Good mor...
[11:33] Takuma
    Good morning?
[11:34] Mamoru
    Good morning!
[11:35] Takuma
    Right, good morning.
[11:37] Takuma
    You're acting strange
    again this morning.
[11:39] Takuma
    And your voice is still all weird.
[11:41] Takuma
    If this keeps up, I'll check
    in with your manufacturer.
[11:55] Takuma
    How's my body temperature today?
[11:58] Mamoru
    Body temperature? How do I tell?
[12:01] Takuma
    Huh?
[12:28] Mina
    I am home now.
[12:31] Takuma
    W-Welcome back...
[12:42] Takuma
    I wasn't expecting this.
[12:43] Takuma
    Weren't you supposed to
    come home tomorrow?
[12:46] Mina
    I told you the wrong day, as a surprise.
[12:49] Takuma
    Now she's just turned into a liar.
[12:55] Takuma
    You don't look too different, on the outside.
[13:00] Mina
    Correct.
[13:00] Mina
    I mainly selected upgrades and replacement
    parts to improve internal performance.
[13:07] Mina
    I considered a lip unit similar
    to the structure of human lips,
[13:10] Mina
    which would have allowed me a
    more delicate sense of touch,
[13:14] Mina
    but you said my lips are
    the best in the world.
[13:20] Mina
    It would be a pity for you
    if I no longer had them.
[13:24] Mina
    I also analyzed the other parts you like,
[13:28] Mina
    but you seemed to like them all, so I
    retained as many external parts as possible.
[13:33] Takuma
    Yeah, I do like them.
[13:39] Takuma
    Mina-chan, I missed you the whole time.
[13:44] Mina
    Yes.
[13:49] Senju
    Pardon us.
[13:53] Senju
    But could you save the
    physical stuff for later?
[13:56] Iida
    We couldn't find the
    right time to speak up...
[13:59] Takuma
    P-Pardon us too!
[14:01] Iida
    N-No problem.
SIGN    Kosugi Takuma-sama
SIGN    Ichijo Robotics Inc.
[14:05] Iida
    This is the necessary paperwork, and
    a manual for the added features.
[14:10] Takuma
    All right.
[14:11] Iida
    Do you have any questions?
[14:14] Iida
    Go ahead, Mina-san.
[14:15] Mina
    Why is this moving around?
[14:18] Takuma
    Huh?! You don't know?!
[14:24] Senju
    This is odd.
[14:26] Senju
    His personality program should be dormant
    while under Mina-sama's remote control.
[14:31] Senju
    Would you permit me to do an internal
    scan, to verify the situation?
[14:36] Takuma
    Sure, please do.
[14:55] Senju
    What's this?
[14:56] Senju
    Some program I do not
    recognize is active instead.
[15:01] Senju
    It is constructed in a form
    similar to a learning program.
[15:06] Senju
    This is merely speculation,
[15:08] Senju
    but perhaps he believed
[15:10] Senju
    his own personality program was running
     while Mina-sama was inside.
[15:13] Senju
    He may have started learning
    from Mina's programming,
[15:15] Senju
    and from the exchanges
    between you two,
[15:18] Senju
    then constructed a
    personality on his own.
[15:23] Takuma
    Which means he's learning
    from me and Mina-chan.
[15:33] Senju
    We are sorry for any
    confusion this caused.
[15:36] Iida
    We're sorry.
[15:37] Takuma
    Oh, that's okay.
[15:41] Mamoru
    Taku...
[15:42] Mamoru
    Takuma's awake.
[15:44] Takuma
    He was born from us?
[15:46] Senju
    In this state, he will probably not
    even understand his own features.
[15:50] Senju
    I recommend reformatting,
    and reinstalling his prog—
[15:53] Takuma
    We won't do that.
[15:56] Takuma
    We'll raise him like family!
[16:02] Mina
    Listen closely.
[16:04] Mina
    Your high-end sensors for monitoring health
    status are at the tip of your right hand.
[16:08] Mamoru
    Here?
[16:09] Mina
    Yes.
[16:10] Mina
    Let me see you sense Takuma-sama's
    body temperature and pulse rate.
[16:15] Mina
    Do you understand?
[16:16] Mamoru
    I don't.
[16:18] Mina
    I selected you so you would measure and
    record Takuma-sama's health status.
[16:23] Mina
    It will therefore cause me trouble if you
    do not learn the use of your sensors.
[16:26] Mamoru
    Don't be troubled, Mina.
[16:28] Takuma
    Hmmm. What should we do for a name?
[16:33] Mamoru
    Want to use. It's hard.
[16:36] Mina
    All right. Please report to
    me if your sensors operate.
[16:41] Mamoru
    Will report.
[16:55] Mina
    I will make lunch.
[16:56] Takuma
    Oh, please do.
[16:58] Takuma
    It's "Mimamorius,"
    so... Mamoru?
[17:02] Takuma
    Nah, it should sound cooler,
    more robot-like.
[17:06] Takuma
    Marius? Riss?
[17:09] Takuma
    No, it's not necessarily a boy.
[17:11] Takuma
    Maybe Mima-chan, or something.
[17:14] Takuma
    That's too similar to "Mina-chan."
[17:19] Takuma
    It's not necessarily a girl, either.
[17:21] Takuma
    And it doesn't have to
    be based on "Mimamorius."
[17:26] Takuma
    There are too many options.
[17:28] Takuma
    What do you think, Mina-chan?
[17:36] Takuma
    Huh?
[17:37] Mina
    About what?
[17:40] Takuma
    W-Well, I thought we'd settle
    on a name for Mimamorius-kun...
[17:45] Takuma
    Were you bigger just now?
[17:48] Mina
    I think we could just refer
    to it by the product name,
[17:50] Mina
    but that is a bit
    inconvenient due to length.
[17:52] Takuma
    Mina-chan?
    Weren't you bigger just now?
[17:55] Mina
    I think a name based on its
    individual characteristics
[17:58] Mina
    would make it more
    easily identifiable,
[18:01] Mina
    so how about "Utterly Incapable Egg"?
[18:05] Takuma
    That might be a little long.
[18:07] Mina
    Then how about "Egg"?
[18:10] Takuma
    Yeah, that could...
[18:11] Takuma
    No, no! Never mind the name,
    what about your size?!
[18:15] Takuma
    That's more important!
[18:26] Mina
    It is true that I grew larger.
[18:28] Mina
    That is the function of the Expansion Unit.
[18:30] Mina
    At maximum expansion,
    my height would be 5'8".
[18:34] Takuma
    Wow! That's incredible!
[18:36] Takuma
    Show me what that looks like!
[18:38] Mina
    I thought you preferred smaller bodies?
[18:42] Takuma
    Wait a minute. You were
    under that impression?
[18:45] Takuma
    That's not true, so go on and get bigger!
[18:48] Mina
    Very well.
[18:49] Mina
    Here goes.
[19:10] Takuma
    Micro miniskirt...
[19:12] Takuma
    I-Is it okay if I touch?
[19:14] Mina
    Yes.
[19:18] Takuma
    It gave her waist curves.
[19:20] Takuma
    Her intensity's different
    when she's bigger.
[19:23] Mina
    What do you think? Which do you prefer?
[19:26] Takuma
    This is awesome! I like you both ways!
[19:29] Mina
    I chose this unit because I thought being
    taller while cooking would be useful,
[19:35] Mina
    but if you like me tall, there is no
    reason to shrink. This was a failure.
[19:39] Takuma
    N-No! I like how cool it
    is that you can transform.
[19:43] Takuma
    I like you small too, so you
    were right to get this unit!
[19:46] Mina
    That is wonderful.
[19:48] Mina
    However, there is one serious
    flaw with the Expansion Unit.
[19:52] Takuma
    Wh-What's that?
[19:54] Mina
    As I become larger, it creates
    gaps and opens up spaces,
[19:58] Mina
    and my waterproof rating
    drops all the way to 5.
[20:01] Takuma
    Gotcha.
[20:05] Mamoru
    Good...
[20:06] Mamoru
    Good morning!
[20:08] Takuma
    In the end, Mimamorius
    received the name "Mamoru."
[20:12] Takuma
    You know your name?
[20:13] Mamoru
    I know it.
[20:14] Mina
    It is simple and easy to say.
[20:17] Takuma
    Mina-chan, you chose a really
    good one here. He's adorable.
[20:22] Mina
    He is round, and his
    eyes are far apart.
[20:25] Takuma
    He pays attention to us,
    and he learns well.
[20:28] Mina
    Yes, though I think he would
    improve if we reformatted him,
[20:31] Mina
    and reinstalled his program.
[20:36] Takuma
    That's... not something
    I want to do.
[20:39] Mina
    Why ever not?
[20:40] Takuma
    He inherited your qualities
    when he was born, right?
[20:44] Mina
    Yes.
[20:45] Takuma
    That means he's like a child.
[20:48] Takuma
    A child of yours... Of ours.
[20:54] Mina
    Takuma-sama, a child results from when
    male and female organisms copulate and—
[20:58] Takuma
    I know the word's proper meaning!
[21:00] Mina
    Please listen calmly.

[21:17] Takuma
    I'm really happy he showed up.
[21:22] Takuma
    Because he seems like... your child.
[21:35] Takuma
    Mina-chan.
[21:37] Takuma

[21:49] Takuma
    Yeah.
[21:50] Takuma

[21:59] Mamoru
    Mamoru.
[22:01] Mamoru
    Got it!
[23:36] Takuma
