[00:10] Rea
    There, there, just a moment.
[00:18] Rea
    Everything okay?
[00:23] Rea
    Let's feed you, then, Kenshi.
[00:40] Rea
    Kenshi's development is going really well.
[00:43] Rea
    I'm very grateful that, by coming here,
    I've hardly to worry about housework.
[00:48] Rea
    Despite them saying I should
    just take care of Kenshi,
[00:51] ---
    I can't rely on Sasami-chan
    and the others that much.
[01:02] Tenn
    Still awake?

SIGN    Episode 1 "Step Mother, Step Sister, Inheritance, and..."
[02:36] Tenn
    She's totally acting like
    she's Kenshi's older sister,
[02:40] Tenn
    even though I'm his actual sister.
[02:43] Rea
    Please don't be jealous
    of Ryo-chan, Tennyo-sama.
[02:49] Tenn
    Please don't be so polite, "Mother."
[02:53] Rea
    I'd also prefer if you didn't call me that.
[02:56] Rea
    It wasn't so long ago that
    we were like sisters, and besides,
[02:59] ---
    Nobuyuki-san wasn't a pure Juraian...
[03:03] Tenn
    I guess you're right, Rea-san.
    It would be weird to act differently now.
[03:09] Rea
    Yes, Tennyo-san.
[03:11] Rea
    By the way, how is your
    investigation progressing?
[03:15] Rea
    By the looks of it,
    it's giving you quite a bit of trouble.
[03:18] Tenn
    Yeah, I was taking it lightly because
    I figured Mother isn't the material sort...
[03:25] Rea
    But when you actually took a look,
    it was out of control?
[03:29] Tenn
    It's a total dump! It's crazy!
[03:32] Tenn
    A room that's never been cleaned!
[03:34] Tenn
    A trash fortress!
[03:44] Tenn
    Thinking back, Mother's always stuck her nose
    into everything that piqued her interest,
[03:50] Tenn
    has her fun with it,
    then disappears when she got bored, right?
[03:53] Tenn
    So she's been gathering all sorts
    of stuff from all over like that,
[03:57] Tenn
    tossing it into subspace storage,
    and forgetting about it.
[04:19] Tenn
    Seeing layer upon layer of that two and
    a half centuries' worth of assorted junk
[04:26] Tenn
    is a literal nightmare.
[04:31] Tenn
    The amount is staggering,
[04:32] ---
    but at least Grandmother's stuff is easy
     because it's categorized scientifically.
[04:37] ---
    But with Mother's stuff,
    I have no idea what's what.
[04:40] Tenn
    What's more, there were materials
    she had taken from some laboratory,
[04:44] Tenn
    sometimes even test samples.
[04:46] Txt
    I'm borrowing this ♥
[04:47] Tenn
    As per usual, she probably went to visit
    and casually took things home...
[04:52] Tenn
    When I cross-referenced file numbers
     and attached documents
[04:55] Tenn
    and rushed to the Galaxy Academy
    with a box of cakes to return them,
[05:00] Tenn
    having everybody just smile and say,
    "that's just her" was really rough.
[05:08] Tenn
    I never thought that I'd be embarrassed
    by Mother again, after all this time.
[05:13] Rea
    I guess that really is Kiyone-neesan for you.
[05:18] Tenn
    If only it was just that!
[05:24] Tenn
    I heard that Grandmother
    gave Mother a decent education.
[05:30] Tenn
    However, when I looked at the scribbles
    attached to the items she had taken out,
[05:33] Tenn
    there were observations that should've been
    far beyond someone with a "decent" education.
[05:37] Rea
    She got that far with self-study?
[05:40] ---
    Yeah. I guess she had a real eye for the details.
[05:44] Tenn
    Anyway, with some specialized guidance,
[05:47] ---
    she could have got to assistant professor.
[05:50] Rea
    Seriously?
[05:52] Tenn
    Yes, it was seriously so irritating.
[05:55] ---
    Not that it would've suited her in
    a million years from a personality standpoint.
[05:59] Rea
    I suppose you may be right.
[06:03] ---
    But if she had an aide it might be okay.
[06:08] Tenn
    Rea-chan, do you know what
    they call Father over there?
[06:20] Tenn
    A god, a saint. The ultimate masochist.
[06:24] Tenn
    Just marrying and living with her
    made people call him that.
[06:29] Tenn
    I'm not kidding. The human rights commission
    conducted an investigation.
[06:32] Rea
    That bad?
[06:34] Tenn
    That bad.
[06:36] Tenn
    There'd never be anyone who would be
    willing to aid someone like that.
[06:40] Tenn
    And forcing someone would cause a scandal.
[06:45] Tenn
    It would be a literal human sacrifice.
[06:54] Tenn
    Either way...
[06:57] Tenn
    It's all hypothetical now.
[07:00] Tenn
    But perhaps it was due to that talent of hers
[07:03] Tenn
    that she tried to settle
    things with you by herself...
[07:07] Rea
    Or maybe she didn't want to
    discuss it with outsiders, like Airi-sama?
[07:14] Tenn
    I'm sure that she did indeed
    sympathize with you,
[07:17] Tenn
    but I wouldn't consider that to be benevolence
    in the normal sense of the word.
[07:23] Tenn
    Maybe one way to put it is that she didn't
    want anyone to take away one of her toys?
[07:28] Rea
    I figured as much.
[07:30] Tenn
    But considering that she didn't see it through,
    it was highly irresponsible of her.
[07:36] Rea
    But in the end, here you are, working so hard.
[07:42] Rea
    I am truly grateful.
[07:44] Tenn
    Stop it.
[07:46] ---
    I'm grateful to you too
    for taking care of Father and Tenchi.
[07:51] Rea
    Well...
[07:53] Rea
    I never considered that to be work.
[07:57] Tenn
    That just makes me all the more grateful.
[08:03] Tenn
    Thank you.
[08:05] Rea
    You're welcome.
[08:08] Rea
    But we're family,
[08:11] Rea
    so please don't hesitate to ask for anything.
[08:15] Tenn
    Understood.
[08:21] Rea
    As whimsical as Kiyone-neesan was,
    she wasn't irresponsible,
[08:26] Rea
    so she probably considered me
    to be a "work in progress," right?
[08:30] ---
    It was just that sudden accident
    that disrupted things.
[08:34] Tenn
    That's true,
[08:36] ---
    but not thinking of someone to take over
    after her was just irresponsible.
[08:41] Tenn
    Knowing her, she probably never considered
     whether or not it was possible at all.
[08:48] Rea
    So, what are your thoughts?
[08:51] Tenn
    There's no doubt that
    she was conducting research.
[08:54] ---
    But you know how she was.
[08:58] Tenn
    She only left fragmented notes
    when and wherever she felt like it.
[09:03] Rea
    So you have to investigate them all one by one.
[09:07] Rea
    You're not using the scanner's autocheck feature?
[09:11] Tenn
    I wish I could,
[09:13] ---
    but all of the files she took out
    have high-level encryptions on them.
[09:19] Tenn
    What's more, the subspace storage itself
[09:23] Tenn
    has the highest level of protection,
    which Grandmother herself created.
[09:27] ---
    Just peeking inside was incredibly tough.
[09:35] Tenn
    It was fortunate that my biological
    signature check passed relatively easily.
[09:40] Tenn
    Could that subspace storage be...
[09:44] Tenn
    Of course it was something
    she took without asking!
[09:46] Tenn
    Even Grandmother was scratching
    her head trying to figure out
[09:50] Tenn
    how she could have taken
    something like that out.
[10:01] Rea
    I see. So that's why you've decided to stay here.
[10:05] Rea
    Thank you for all the hard work, really.
[10:07] Tenn
    Don't worry about it.
[10:08] ---
    Even over there, I'd just be bossed around
    by Grandmother, so it's all the same.
[10:13] ---
    Considering I can receive Tenchi's and Kenshi's
    soothing influence here, it's not bad at all.
[10:20] Rea
    So how's the progress looking, exactly?
[10:24] Tenn
    I suppose you're worried
    about the situation over there?
[10:28] Rea
    Yes, I wonder how the sisters
    I left behind are doing...
[10:32] Rea
    I'm especially curious about Neizai,
[10:35] ---
    who was originally supposed to come here.
[10:37] Tenn
    I see.
[10:40] ---
    Unfortunately I don't have any leads ye—
[10:44] Toki
    If it's just that, I don't mind telling you.
[10:47] Toki
    After all, Rea, the world you're from
    is one of the universes I control.
[10:53] Rea
    Y-You know the place I come from?!
[10:57] Toki
    Yes, I am technically a goddess.
[11:01] Rea
    Th-Then...
[11:03] Rea
    Before you do that,
[11:04] ---
    I would be grateful
    if you would get off my head.
[11:09] Toki
    You do realize I'm already
    being considerate, don't you?
[11:12] Toki
    My taking this form is an effort to
    lessen the strain on this dimension
[11:16] Toki
    and to keep from overwhelming you guys.
[11:19] Tenn
    I am grateful that
    you're being so considerate,
[11:22] Tenn
    but it would be wonderful
    if you could also consider my stress levels.
[11:27] Toki
    As if you're actually so fragile.
[11:30] Tenn
    My apologies for being crude.
[11:33] Tenn
    But could you please share information
    about Rea-san's world?
[11:37] Tenn
    Actually, it would have been great
    if you had told us earlier.
[11:42] Toki
    You do know that we created this world
    in order to bring about the birth
[11:47] Toki
    of beings that have powers
    similar to your brother, right?
[11:50] Toki
    But if that goal lies outside
    the circle of our omniscience,
[11:55] Toki
    we have to limit our interference
    to an absolute minimum.
[11:59] Toki
    Even a single spoken word
    has a big impact on this world.
[12:05] ---
    I trust you understand the significance of that.
[12:10] Tenn
    So you're saying that, in the end,
    I need to put in the work.
[12:15] Tenn
    Well, I did know as much.
[12:17] Tok
    I can listen to you vent.
[12:20] Tok
    You may even use this cute form
    to soothe your mind.
[12:24] Tenn
    I see, then without further ado...
[12:28] Tenn
    Ah, you're so squishy and smell so good.
[12:32] Tenn
    As expected of a goddess.
    It's the perfect hugability.
[12:37] Tok
    I am so glad.
[12:39] Rea
    Um, so, about my case...
[12:42] Tok
    I can't tell you too much,
[12:46] ---
    but "Gaia" was successfully sealed.
[12:49] Tok
    Out of all your sisters, one has lost her body.
[12:52] Rea
    Sh-She's dead?!
[12:55] Toki
    Her core is safe.
[12:56] Toki
    Then...
[13:02] Toki
    That's all I can tell you.
[13:07] Toki
    What the future will hold is up to you
    and the wee one sleeping next door.
[13:14] Toki
    What I will say is this: do your best.
[13:18] Rea
    Do my best... Understood.
[13:23] Rea
    Thank you very much.
[13:26] Toki
    Well, it's about time for me to retreat
    to my usual spot for my daily schedule.
[13:35] Tenn
    My source of soothing!
[13:38] Rea
    I'm coming! Don't cry, Kenshi-chan!
[13:44] Sasa
    Good morning, Tennyo-oneechan, Rea-okaasama.
[13:48] Rea
    Good morning, Ayaka-san, Sasami-chan.
[13:51] Teen
    Good morning.
[13:53] Aya
    Good morning to you, too, Kenshi-chan.
[13:58] Sasa
    Good morning, Ryoko-oneechan.
[14:05] Ryo
    They keep this up every morning, huh?
[14:08] Sasa
    Good morning, Noike-oneechan!
[14:10] Noi
    Good morning, everyone.
[14:12] ---
    Mother, shouldn't you be resting?
[14:17] Rea
    It's okay. Everyone's letting me take it so easy
    that I'm worried I might get too lazy.
[14:22] Rea
    But more importantly,
    sorry for taking your room.
[14:26] Noi
    It's all right. This house
    was originally for Father anyway.
[14:31] Noi
    We have the ship,
    so please don't worry about us.
[14:35] ---
    On top of that, Mihoshi and I
    go way back to our GP days.
[14:42] Sas
    Here you go. Over there.
[14:44] Was
    Oh, you're all here.
[14:46] Was
    Hey Kenshi-chan! Come to your big sister!
[14:51] Tenn
    Please, Washu-sama! I'm his real big sister.
[14:55] Was
    Even if something were to happen,
    your big sister will make it all better!
[15:03] Teen
    Geez.
[15:04] Tok
    Neesama, here's the paper.
[15:06] Was
    Mm, thank you.
[15:12] Was
    Don't worry. Kenshi-chan is all good.
[15:24] Tenc
    Good morning, everyone.
[15:26] All
    Good morning, Tenchi-chan.
[15:26] All
    Good morning, Tenchi-san.
[15:26] All
    Good morning, Tenchi-kun.
[15:31] Tenc
    Kenshi looks good, too.
[15:33] Tenn
    Tenchi-chan!
[15:36] Tenn
    I'm so exhausted. Heal me.
[15:43] Tenn
    Heal me, heal me!
[15:54] Tenc
    If you're worried about Kenshi, it's okay.
[16:10] Tenc
    We're off.
[16:11] All
    Have a good trip!
[16:14] Tenn
    Now that I've got enough healing
    stored up, it's back to work!
[16:26] Txt
    — 5 years later —
[16:36] Kir
    A-Are you all right, Tennyo-sama?
[16:39] Tenn
    You don't have to be so formal.
[16:42] ---
    Kiriko-chan, you're a member
    of the main Masaki house now.
[16:45] Kir
    That is true, but...
[16:48] Tenn
    In an official setting, you're Juraian royalty,
[16:51] Tenn
    and I'm just a regular citizen.
    Please don't forget that, Kiriko-sama.
[16:58] Kir
    That's a different situation.
[17:00] ---
    Having to keep that up even
    when I'm here is exhausting.
[17:03] Tenn
    You even went to Renza after becoming royalty,
    and you still haven't gotten used to it?
[17:08] Kir
    That's exactly why I want to relax
    when I'm here.
[17:11] Kir
    I mean, Karen's also the Renza royalty.
[17:14] ---
    Gyokuren's actually a real queen,
    and head of one of Renza's five royal houses.
[17:20] Kar
    While we're here, we're nothing
    but court ladies attending Seina-sama.
[17:26] Tenn
    Oh, my, Seina-chan used to
    be so tiny and cute...
[17:31] Kir
    I-I never thought it would
    turn out like this back then.
[17:37] Tenn
    Tsukiko-chan really didn't have to hold back.
[17:43] Tenn
    Some bothersome stuff
    is bound to come our way, too.
[17:50] Job
    Stop, wait!
[17:53] Job
    Wait! Wait!
[17:54] Rea
    Anyway, I feel bad for bothering you
    with another matter, Kiriko-sama.
[18:01] (Flashback) Was
    Look, Kenshi-chan, isn't it cool?
[18:07] (Flashback) Rea
    Is that the invincible
    robot you came up with?
[18:14] Kir
    Oh, no. In the end, it was very useful,
[18:18] Kir
    and what's more, using something like
    that on a planet was so far off-base...
[18:22] Tenn
    I hear that earned a lot of nicknames.
[18:26] Rea
    Well, the name itself had a bit of malice in it.
[18:30] Rea
    Tennyo-san, please don't
    be too mean to Kiriko-san.
[18:34] Tenn
    Well, she seemed to be having
    all kinds of fun over there
[18:38] Tenn
    while I was stuck day in and day out in
    a tiny dark hole, fighting with Mother's trash!
[18:43] Kir
    There was nothing fun about it!
[18:44] Tenn
    I know about it, you know?
[18:46] Tenn
    You had some adventures
    in another dimension?
[18:49] Kir
    I-I mean, there was a fantasy
    world right in front of my eyes!
[18:54] Tenn
    I hear you joined an adventurers'
    guild and were killin' it.
[19:01] Rea
    Tennyo-san, please let her off the hook.
[19:05] Tenn
    Well, I am looking forward to seeing
    some elf girls you picked up over there.
[19:10] Tenn
    Besides, it's not like we're any different.
[19:15] Kar
    Ah, right. I heard that you were
    transferred here from another dimension?
[19:22] Tenn
    You really like those kinds of stories, huh?
[19:25] Tenn
    Well, you have heard that that's
    how my mother found her, right?
[19:29] Kir
    Yes, and now you're struggling
    to find clues about that.
[19:34] Tenn
    More or less.
[19:36] Tenn
    But lately, I've been hitting that massive
    pile of Father's old diaries on a hunch.
[19:44] Kir
    And you found something?
[19:46] Tenn
    Yes. Father wrote a lot,
[19:48] ---
    so he kept meticulous records
     of day to day things,
[19:51] Tenn
    but it's like my mother went and wrote
    in a bunch of things, as if to correct him.
[19:58] Tenn
    Along with that, there were mentions here
    and there of the research concerning Rea-san.
[20:03] Tenn
    While trying to follow that,
[20:04] ---
    I ended up reliving my parents' love story,
    all the way to their marriage...
[20:09] Kir
    So from the time they met?
[20:11] Tenn
    From the very start.
[20:13] ---
    Endless scenes where my father
    was being destroyed by my mother.
[20:18] Rea
    Destroyed?
[20:20] Tenn
    Seeing him come around to marrying that
    is like seeing something break down.
[20:27] Tenn
    Even Grandmother said he was a very
    special specimen, so it has to be true.
[20:32] Kar
    So it wasn't a love story
    that was embarrassing to watch?
[20:36] Tenn
    It was like when Seto-sama
    married Utsutsumi-sama.
[20:41] Kar
    I understand.
[20:42] Tenn
    With that said, even in that love story
    with all the psychological terror woven in,
[20:47] Tenn
    my father's purity was just amazing.
[20:50] Rea
    Would it be possible for me to see it, too?
[20:54] Tenn
    I've already sorted through it,
[20:56] ---
    so I moved it to the shared
    subspace storage location.
[20:59] Rea
    Thank you so much!
[21:06] Kir
    So was Kiyone-sama's research able to
    determine which world Rea-san came from?
[21:12] Tenn
    She seems to have figured
    it out quite early on.
[21:15] Tenn
    She even had some understanding
    of the transportation mechanism.
[21:19] Tenn
    However, the plan was to send
    Rea-san's child back there, right?
[21:23] Kar
    So, while she was biding her time,
[21:26] Kar
    she unfortunately passed away
    and left it at an impasse?
[21:29] Tenn
    The biggest reason the project came to a halt
[21:32] Tenn
    was that Tenchi was born and
    that he met Seina-chan.
[21:37] ---
    But I can't get a good grasp of
    what happened right before her death.
[21:43] Kir
    So you think that period
    contains something important?
[21:46] Tenn
    Kiriko-chan!
[21:47] Kir
    Yes?
[21:48] Tenn
    You have some books at home
    that Mother gave you, right?
[21:53] Kir
    Y-Yes. I think most of them
    were fantasy-related—Wait, what?
[21:59] Tenn
    The books that she took from
    libraries from all over were all
[22:03] Tenn
    fantasy or science-fiction books
    dealing with inter-dimensional travel.
[22:08] Tenn
    Maybe my mother was considering
    going to Rea-san's world herself.
[22:14] Rea
    That is something that
    Kiyone-neesan would think to do...
[22:21] Kar
    Could it be?
[22:22] Kir
    Maybe it wasn't inter-dimensional travel...
[22:24] Tenn
    But reincarnation?
[22:28] Tenn
    No, I think we went a bit too crazy there.
[22:31] Kir
    R-Right?!
[22:41] Job
    You see this? Aren't you amazed, you brats?!
[22:45] Job
    Tremble before my sea dragon summon, "Laval"!
[22:53] Kir
    Hey, don't summon something like that.
[22:56] Job
    I can't leave after being made
    a laughingstock by these brats!
[22:59] Job
    Go, Laval!
[23:24] Job
    Hey, you traitor! Why are you
    making eyes at that little girl?!
[23:27] Job
    And how come you can do those
    suspiciously difficult tricks?!
[23:31] Kir
    I guess it can't be helped.
[23:33] ---
    Ryo-chan is Fuku-chan's older sister.
[23:36] Job
    What? The older sister
    of that fluffy hairball?
[23:39] Job
    That means...
[23:42] Kir
    Incidentally, Ryo-chan's
    individual power is higher.
[23:45] Job
    D-Damn it! Return, Mikura... I mean, Laval!
[23:52] Job
    You traitor! You broke
    the summoning contract!
[23:56] Job
    Did you forget how many
    sugar cubes I gave you?!
[24:05] Kir
    Sugar cubes for a summoning contract?
[24:08] Tenn
    But berating that sea dragon
    when he had to face Ryo-chan is pretty cruel.
[24:13] Job
    I won't forget this!
    Give me my sugar cubes back!
[24:16] ---
    That's enough!
[24:20] Tenn
    Oh no, Tenchi's back.
[24:32] Tenc
    Kiriko-san, I'm so glad to see you well.
[24:36] Tenc
    Seina-kun told me what happened.
[24:39] ---
    You've been through a lot.
[24:40] Kir
    Y-Yes, but I was able to return safely,
[24:44] ---
    and there were many fun things, as well.
[24:46] Job
    Kiriko-chan was really enjoying herself
    at the adventurers' guild!
[24:57] Job
    You guys are back again?!
[25:03] Tenn
    Looks like she's been formally
    designated as a fun toy.
[25:08] Tenc
    Oh, boy. Jobia-san, could I ask you
    to entertain those two?
[25:12] Tenc
    Please do it without
    summoning anything, of course.
[25:16] Job
    Roger that!
[25:22] Job
    Damn it! You brats,
    I'll have my revenge now!
[25:29] Nob
    That reminds me of someone.
[25:31] Tenn
    Couldn't agree more.
[25:33] Nob
    Tenchi, shall we begin, then?
[25:36] Tenc
    Oh, right.
[25:38] Kir
    Before that, I would like to apologize
    for all the trouble we've caused.
[25:45] Kir
    Regarding Kenshi-chan, too.
[25:47] ---
    Amane's team was supposed to
    be a deterrent, but...
[25:52] Tenn
    Asking those two to handle
    that was a bit cruel.
[25:55] Tenn
    Kiriko-chan's about the only one
    who would jump at the throats
[25:58] Tenn
    of the Galactic Federation's elites.
[26:02] Tenn
    Well, those two were just used to create an alibi
    that it was cleared with Seina-chan's party.
[26:10] Kir
    I think I can appreciate that, but...
[26:14] Tenn
    Thanks to Mitoto-sama, a compromise
     was reached, so isn't it all right?
[26:19] Tenn
    Father, you guys also think
    that things settled decently, right?
[26:23] Tenn
    I'm sure you were watching it all.
[26:28] Nob
    So you did catch on to that.
[26:30] Nob
    Grandfather and Father also decided
    to just watch over things.
[26:34] Tenc
    Father.
[26:36] Nob
    Hm? Oh, right.
[26:39] Nob
    This actually relates to Kenshi, as well,
    but I wanted to talk to you, Kiriko-chan.
[26:46] Kir
    To me?
[26:50] Kir
    You want us to move our house here?
[26:53] Kir
    But we have a place in Masaki Village...
[26:56] Tenc
    You've become a member
    of the Masaki main house,
[27:00] Tenc
    and Seina-kun also holds the tree
    of a first-generation royal house.
[27:05] ---
    I've already talked to him
    at that one meeting.
[27:09] Kir
    Seina-chan... what did he say?
[27:13] Tenc
    He agreed regarding the house.
[27:16] ---
    He said that it would be best
    to leave the details to you.
[27:22] Kir
    Then I don't have any objections,
[27:25] ---
    but our main area of activity is
    at the Galaxy Academy.
[27:29] Kir
    There are chances that these
    kind of things will happen again.
[27:34] Kir
    I am grateful for your consideration,
[27:36] ---
    but having our house here would
    actually cause more trouble.
[27:40] Rea
    The reason my husband mentioned it relates
    to Kenshi was because we were hoping that
[27:44] Rea
    your being here would be a deterrent
    for Seto-sama and the others, as well.
[27:50] Kir
    Oh, I see.
[27:52] Rea
    And Seina-chan and Kiriko-chan
    are officially married now, so...
[28:05] Kir
    Seina-chan and me... here with our child...
