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.

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?

Huh?
SIGN #07 An Appliance Became My Child
SIGN Kosugi Takuma-sama
[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.
SIGN Mimamorius 3
[06:35] announcer
It looks after your loved ones.
[06:38] announcer
Mimamorius 3.
[06:40] Takuma
...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

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.
[21:02] Mina
This is simply a defect that seems
that way from your perspective.
[21:06] Mina
Simply a series of coincidences.
[21:08] Takuma
It's the same way for living things!
[21:09] Takuma
They're not always planned!
[21:11] Takuma
When it's a happy thing, isn't
that what you'd call a miracle?
[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
Mina-chan?
[21:41] Mina
Takuma-sama, you are pleased
with Mamoru as he is?
[21:49] Takuma
Yeah.
[21:50] Takuma
If you are pleased,
I think that is sufficient.
[21:54] Mamoru
Mamo... Mamo...
[21:57] Takuma
It's "Mamoru."
[21:59] Mamoru
Mamoru.
[22:01] Mamoru
Got it!
[23:36] Takuma
Next time.
