T: Okay, then. We'll continue after lunch break.
B: All right! Time to eat!
B: Yay!
B: Hey, let's go eat outside!
G: Let's eat together, Izumi-chan.
G: What's wrong?
I: Has Seita-kun still not made any friends?
I: And it's been a while since he joined...
G: Jeez, boys can be so inconsiderate.
G: Hey, Seita-kun!
G: Would you like to have lunch with us?
G: Izumi-chan wants to know.
I: H-Hey, I never said—
Sei: W-Well, I...
Sei: O-Oh, darn! I forgot my lunch!
I: Oh, really?
I: I can share mine if you want.
Sei: N-Nah, it's fine!
Sei: I-I'll go buy something at the convenience store!
I: Seita-kun?!
G: There he goes.
B: Don't waste your time, Izumi.
B: He's always like that.
B: We've asked him to join us before, too,
B: but he always runs off somewhere at lunchtime.
I: Is that so?
G: He's blowing his chance to make friends.
I: Seita-kun...
I: What could he be doing by himself?
Title: All Mothers Pack Too Much Food Into a Lunch Box and Ruin the Shape
Tea,Sign: Hinoya Tea House
Hi: Seita hasn't been himself lately.
Hi: Not since he started temple school, I think.
Hi: Before, he was all excited about making lots of friends,
Hi: but there's been no hint of him bringing friends over, or having any fun at all.
Hi: To top it all off, look at this.
Hi: That glutton
Hi: is bringing his lunch home unfinished.
Hi: What's wrong with him? These look so delicious.
Hi: Is he not fitting in at temple school?
Tsu: Hinowa, was today sports day or something?
Hi: For a child, every day might as well be sports day.
Tsu: That's not what I meant!
Tsu: Are you making him these extravagant lunches every day?
Hi: We can't have him unable to concentrate due to an empty stomach, right?
Hi: Moms sure have it rough, huh?
Hi: I can't believe they all cook this much every day.
Tsu: Hinowa, you're the only one who has it rough.
Tsu: And it's not Seita who's not fitting in at temple school.
Tsu: It's these lunches.
Tsu: Seita's probably losing his chances to make friends because
Tsu: he's too embarrassed to be seen eating these.
Hi: What? Because of the lunches?
Hi: Why?
Tsu: If a newcomer were to eat stuff like this,
Tsu: he'd obviously stick out like a sore thumb!
Tsu: Kids' society is harsher and more exclusive than adults realize.
B: This ain't sports day, you know.
B: Your parents have no common sense, huh?
Hi: Why? I don't put anything you'd be embarrassed to show people.
Hi: And I pack it with love!
Tsu: And I'm telling you, that's not the issue here.
Tsu: For a kid to fit in, he has to have the same things everybody has,
Tsu: and do the same things they do.
Tsu: That's right. Being "normal" is the most important thing.
Hi: Really?
Sei: That's Tsukuyo-nee for you.
Sei: Yoshiwara's queen of reading between the lines is a cut above the rest.
Sei: She's right on the money.
Sei: I wanna eat a normal lunch,
Sei: normally, with everyone else.
Hi: So that's how it was. Because of me, Seita has...
Hi: But what's a normal lunch like, anyway?
Hi: How do normal mothers make normal lunches?
Tsu: N-Normally, of course.
Hi: In that case, Tsukuyo, you make Seita's lunch tomorrow.
Hi: You understand what a normal lunch made by a normal mother is like, don't you?
Tsu: W-Wait a second! I can't cook to save my li—
Hi: Then this is a perfect opportunity.
Hi: If you can't make a lunch or two,
Hi: Gin-san will come to hate you.
Tsu: Why'd you bring that moron up?!
Sei: Tsukuyo-nee's making me lunch? Will it be all right?
School,Sign: Temple School
T: Okay. That does it for the morning classes.
B: All right! Time for lunch!
: Yay!
I: You didn't forget your lunch today, huh?
I: Now you've got to eat with us, Seita-kun.
Sei: Uh, o-okay.
Sei: Sure.
G: You know, Izumi-chan was all worried you hated us or something.
Sei: O-Of course not. I just...
I: Wow, your lunch is amazing!
G: A decorated lunch?
I: Aren't these those things ninjas use?
G: Kunai, yeah. They're rice kunai.
I: Wow! This is so well made!
G: Look, there's seaweed wrapped around them here.
Sei: This is it! This is the kind of lunch I've been waiting for!
Tsu: "Decorated lunches"?
Tsu: Is that what's popular these days?
Hi: Apparently it's important that they be playful so kids can enjoy them.
Sei: They're even taking trends into account!
Sei: Mom and Tsukuyo-nee can do anything if they put their minds to it!
Sign: One of the rice kunai contains a surprise. Eat with caution!
Sei: What's more, they even included a game people can enjoy together!
Sei: F-Feel free to have some if you'd like.
G: Can we?
Sei: But one of these contains a surprise.
I: Really?
I: Your mom sounds like a fun person.
I: I wonder what's in them.
G: I can't wait to find out.
Sei: Perfect!
Sei: This is perfect!
Sei: A lunch like this will help me break the ice with everyone!
Sei: Huh? Aren't you gonna eat?
I: Uh, Seita-kun...
I: You're bleeding...
School,Sign: {\fad( , )}Temple School
I: Sensei! Seita-kun is hurt!
Tea,Sign: Hinoya Tea House
Hi: He didn't finish today, either.
Tsu: So even a decorated lunch wasn't good enough?
Sac: What part of this is "decorated"? It's a death lunch, if anything.
Hi: We followed the instructions and made it playful...
Sac: Why would an enjoyable lunchtime include a life-threatening game of Russian roulette?
Tsu: But I've never made a lunch for anyone before!
Sac: You're hopeless.
Sac: I can't believe that Yoshiwara's star courtesans can't even prepare a kid's lunch.
Sac: In the end, I guess your bodies are all you've got.
Sac: You're a couple of loser women that guys want to play around with, but never marry.
Sac: Did you really think all mothers make such elaborate lunches every day?
Sac: That's only until kindergarten, you know.
Sac: Boys his age want to rip off the nappies their parents put on them
Sac: and try to act all grown-up.
Like,Sign: Who could eat this crap?!
Sei: Who could eat this crap?!
Sac: That's the age they get most embarrassed about lunches packed with love.
Sac: Normal mothers are much lazier with their lunches.
Sac: Giving him that space is the only way you can show your love to a boy his age.
Sei: Sa-san actually knows where it's at.
Sac: Let me give it a shot next.
Sac: I'll show you what a normal mother is like.
School,Sign: Temple School
I: Uh, Seita-kun.
I: Are you all right now? Did your wound heal?
Sei: Yeah, I'm fine.
I: That's good to hear.
I: Then why don't we finally eat together today?
G: That's probably a bad idea, Izumi-chan.
B: She's right, Izumi.
I: Sorry for screaming last time.
I: I was just so shocked.
Sei: I should be the one apologizing. My mom takes her pranks too far.
I: Um, I made too much lunch today.
I: Have some, if you'd like.
Sei: Is she trying to look out for me?
I: There's two of each side dish, so feel free to take half.
Sei: She must've figured out that my mom can't make a proper lunch.
Sei: She's such a nice girl!
Sei: But she's totally looking down on my mom here.
Sei: I can't let that stand.
Sei: Th-Then you can have half of my lunch!
I: B-But...
Sei: It's all good.
Sei: I've got a normal lunch today!
Sei: My mom's completely normal!
Sei: So take half!
I: But...
Note ,Sign: Yesterday's lasagna is in the fridge, so heat it up and eat it. P.S. If Mom and Dad break up, who will you stay with, Seita?
I: You don't even have half a lunch.

Sac: That's what mothers are like.
Sac: They think even cold love can be warmed up again with a microwave.
Note ,Sign: P.S. If Mom and Dad break up, who will you stay with, Seita?
Kyu: And the postscript has nothing to do with lunch.
Sac: It's a dessert that's a bit on the heavy side.
Kyu: This lunch would only lead to an upset stomach!
Sac: What would you rather I'd done, then?
Sac: Aren't you a sad monster with the body of a woman and the heart of a man?
Sac: Figure something out!
Kyu: Quit calling me a monster.
Kyu: As someone who was raised as a man,
Kyu: I believe your concerns are unnecessary.
Kyu: When I was his age, I was on a warrior errantry,
Kyu: but I filled my stomach myself.
Waste,Sign: {\fad( , )}Don't waste it, okay?
Whoa,Sign: {\fad( , )}Whoa!
Kyu: A kid he may be, but he's still a man.
Kyu: If you give him some pocket money, I'm sure he'll work something out.
Thank,Sign: Thank you very much!
Waste,Sign: Hooray!
Hi: But convenience store lunches would give him an unbalanced diet.
Kyu: I didn't say convenience store lunches.
Kyu: If he eats things like that, he'll end up with a weak body.
Kyu: A meal fit for a man would be...

Kyu: Really?
Kyu: I took out the burden of his family situation
Kyu: because I thought it might be too much for him...
Tsu: That family situation never existed to begin with.
Tae: They do say that lions throw their cubs off a cliff to make them stronger,
Red Missing,: Gaaaaah
Tae: but wasn't Seita-kun already thrown into an abyss by all those crappy lunches?
Tae: Making a kid who'd climbed back up the cliff
Tae: face a Barara Gator is much too cruel.
Blue Missing,: Yaaaaah
Tae: You just have to cook something up and pack a proper lunch for him.
Tae: That's what a mother ought to do.
School,Sign: Temple School
I: Seita-kun?

Tae: Is something wrong with that?
Tsu: Everything is wrong with that!
Tsu: What happened to lunch?!
Tae: We were talking about lunch?
Tae: In that case, just feed him off your naked body or something.
Sac: Yeah. Your bodies are the only thing you've got going for you, anyway.
Kyu: I'm sorry, but I have no time to waste on lunches.

B: Izumi's not here, Seita.
B: She took the day off today.
B: Maybe she started hating school because you cling to her too much.
B: Quit trying to take advantage of her kindness.
B: Kunai? A gator?
B: I don't know if you're trying to get our attention or what,
B: but if you hurt her, I'll make you pay!
B: Seita, eating lunch alone suits you best.
Sei: I'm home.
Hi: Oh, welcome back.
Hi: Seita, you didn't take the lunch I made today, did you?
Hi: Eat that.
Hi: You must be hungry.
Hi: A growing boy shouldn't be skipping meals, you know.
Hi: Just you wait.
Hi: Tomorrow, I'll make you
Hi: a lunch you'll want to show off to everyone for sure.
Sei: I don't want it.
Sei: The lunches you make
Sei: are too embarrassing to eat.
Sei: You were a courtesan all these years, so you can't make a proper lunch, can you?
Sei: You're not a normal mother...
Sei: And you're not even my mother, so you can't make a mom's lunch, can you?!
Sei: I went and said
Sei: something horrible...
Sei: The one thing I shouldn't have said.
Sei: I can't go back now.
Sei: I can't go home anymore.
I: Huh?
I: Seita-kun? What are you doing out so late?
Sei: Izumi-chan?
Sei: What about you? You even took the day off school.
I: Oh, my dad has a cold, so I had to take care of him.
Sei: So that's why...
Sei: Those look heavy.
I: These?
I: I don't have a mother,
I: so I have to make lunches for my family.
I: What about you, Seita-kun?
Sei: Izumi-chan...
I: I see.
I: So that's why you always ate lunch alone.
I: But personally speaking, that makes me envious.
I: You're lucky you can fight with your mom like that.
I: I'm sure all kids with moms have fights like that,
I: without realizing how blessed they are.
I: They only realize what they have once it's gone.
I: And then they regret the fact
I: that they'll never again get to eat a lunch with so much food, it's all out of shape.
I: Like me, you've lost your mother once.
I: So why haven't you realized it yet?
I: Nah.
I: You already have, haven't you?
I: I mean, you always came back for afternoon classes with your stomach so full,
I: you couldn't breathe.
I: Even if you couldn't eat all of it, and even if you had to hide from others,
I: you always ate as much as you could.
I: It was because you knew, right?
I: That even though she was awkward at it,
I: your mother tried her best to make those lunches for you.
I: That a mom's unshapely lunch is the tastiest of all.
Sei: Izumi-chan.
I: You have somewhere to be, right?
I: I'll be fine.
I: My brother will come pick me up.
Sei: Sorry.
I: Seita-kun,
I: see you tomorrow at school.
B: Sheesh.
B: He's pathetic to the core.
I: Bro!
B: Let's go home, Izumi.
I: Did you hear all that?
B: I didn't hear nothing.
B: Let's go.
B: What's for lunch tomorrow?
I: Who knows? You'll have to wait and see.
B: What the heck?
School,Sign: Temple School

B: That's not all. He doesn't even have a place here anymore...
B: Whoa!
G: What is that?!
I: Seita-kun!
Sei: Thanks for the food, Mom!
B: What's with that mountain of lunch boxes?
B: Has he lost his mind?!
I: Come on, hurry up.
B: W-Wait, Izumi!
I: Seita-kun!
I: Let's finally eat together today.
Sei: Sure thing.
I: But I'm sorry.
I: I forgot to make lunch today, of all days.
I: Right, Bro?
B: What?
B: Izumi, don't tell me this is what you meant by "wait and see"?!
B: You've gotta be kidding me! I'm never gonna eat this guy's lun—
Sei: It's not my lunch.
Sei: It's my mom's.
Sei: Isn't it great?
B: Yeah.
