01x09 - Reunion, Coco, Lick

[bunniefuu]

This is how I'll become...

This is how I'll become...

...Supreme Commander.

...a hero.

This is my story!

Reunion, Coco, Lick

Yuuki!

On it!

Good. We put them in their place.

Well spotted.

Attaboy, Yuuki.

She complimented me!

This is great!

At this rate, I'm bound to get stronger!

If I'm lucky, I'll get strong enough
to protect Miss Kyouka!

So, what kind of reward
is this supposed to be?

I haven't sustained any injuries,
you know.

I-I'm not so sure myself!

It's an appropriate reward for Nei,

but doing this type of thing with me
is a waste of time.

Huh? No way!

That couldn't be further from the truth!

If you say so...

I simply don't understand
your appetites...

pervert.

Wow...

Our Yukki's making more progress!

He follows my orders to a T,

seeking out the most efficient method
on his own before taking action.

That's fantastic, Mr. Yuuki!

Oh, it's nothing...

Aw, you're so adorable
when you blush, little sl*ve.

M-Miss Tenka!

Commander Izumo, shouldn't you be
heading back to your dorm?

It'll be fine.

You really are incredible, aren't you?

Have you always been this talented?

Hey, knock it off!

W-well, I don't know about that...

but my big sister taught me
a lot when I was young...

Big sister?

Oh yeah, you said your sister
was pretty cool, right?

Oh? You must really admire her.

I do.

Really? What was she like?

Yo, Wakura!

I don't appreciate you always ignoring me.

You think I'm stupid?

It's 'cause you're always saying
mean things to me!

C'mon, kid. Play nice with my brother.

Get your hands off my brother!

This your sister?

Yuuki! Are you-

I learned a move or two from playing
pro wrestler with you, Big Sis!

I'm not a wimp, okay?!

THAT'S my precious little brother!

You get an A+!

You'll regret this!

This calls for a celebration!

Let's go get a treat, on me!

Ramen

That's just the way she was.

She sounds like a good sister.

She was training you,
and you didn't even know it.

Younger siblings sure do
have it rough, don't they?

We figured out what makes Yukki tick!

Take the rest of the evening off, Yuuki.

Okay. I'll take a bath
then get some shut-eye.

And go home, Tenka.

I suppose it's getting late.

Catch you later, little sl*ve.

All this talk of big sisters
is making Nei jealous!

So we're the only ones without siblings.

I was the youngest in my family,
but everyone liked to spoil me.

Yeah, that checks out.

I'm detecting someone in danger!

Four kilometers south!

Himari, Shushu. On the double!

Yes, ma'am!

DDF in the house!

You can relax now!

Are you okay?

Yeah...

Thanks for that!

Himarin!

Coco knows how to pack a punch...

I caught some Demon Defense Force!

Now, let's make 'em suffer.

Another humanoid?!

Bring it on!

I'll blast ya into next week!

Himarin, you good?

Yup...

Blocked it in the nick of time.

Oh, not bad.

Stop!

Huh?

Your name's Coco, right?

Wha-?

How did you know that?

Wait a minute...
Is that your Peach ability?

No, you literally said,
"Coco knows how to pack a punch."

The Supreme Commander
of the Demon Defense Force

is willing to negotiate with your kind!

Will you hear us out?

Dream on!

I'm gonna crush you!

Cuts and bruises all over...

We've been fighting Shuuki
left and right lately.

At least my muscles
are coming along nicely!

Keep getting those gains, my dude!

I'm coming in!

Miss Kyouka?!

We're under attack. You need to transform!

Huh? Like, right now?

Get a move on!
Shushu and Himari are in trouble!

It's strong! My b*ll*ts can't pierce it!

Whaddya think?
Kuma's got mega-tough armor!

Huh?

I can adapt too, y'know!

Cancel ability!

A real live free-for-all...

This oughtta be fun!

Take this!

Nice! Wiped out all the pint-sized Shuuki.

Just need to back up Himarin...

It's... wielding a weapon?

It's her...

You came out to play.

Dodge it!

YUUKI, QUIT MOVING!

Yes, ma'am!

Yuuki!

Objective complete.

Out of my way!

They... vanished?

For real?

They took him?

Yuuki must've been their target
from the very beginning.

That explains why the humanoids
showed up only to retreat.

They already accomplished their goal...

Yuuki...

Commander!

Let's head back to the dorm.

Your wounds need medical attention first.

We'll take a quick breather and regroup.

Big... Sis?

Big Sis...

Hm? That feels really good...

Wha-?!

Settle down and lie still.

You'll be better in no time,
so bear with me, 'kay?

That's right...
I remember getting captured...

And now I've woken up to the enemy
licking my whole body...

Wait, first things first.

During the fight,
when she yelled my name...

I knew it!

That WAS my sister!

Hey, uh-

Stop squirmin'!

I'm trying to be thorough here!

A-am I... being assaulted by the enemy?!

What do I do?!

All righty!

Looks like we're in the clear!

How's Yuuki? Is he awake?

Big Sis Aoba!

You're just in time for-

I surrender! I surrender!

What in the world possessed you
to strip my brother naked?!

Such an ugly misunderstanding...

He was naked
when his transformation was broken.

And he had several injuries.

That's why Coco was healing him.

Beauty of the self-sacrificing sort.

I did it 'cause he's your brother...

I wanted to get every last scratch on him.

Now that you mention it,
they're all gone.

It's my saliva...
It's got medicinal properties.

She did say you'd be better in no time.

Aw, my bad, Coco!

And thanks!

I'll treat you to something yummy!

Yay!

I know that personality...

It really IS you!

It's been a while!

You're all grown up now, Yuuki!

You were alive... the whole time.

You can't get rid of me that easily!

Big Sis...

I guess it all worked out!

Sibling love... It's a beautiful thing.

I almost forgot!
Why do you look like that?

You're the one not wearing pants.

My, my. You really have grown.

AOBA WAKURA

Go ahead and put these on.

Then let's take a walk outside.

Where we are, what we are...

It'd be faster just to show you.

Whoa...

We refer to it as a "hidden village."

There aren't any Peach trees in the area,

so the Demon Defense Force
doesn't come poking around out here.

There are others who look just like you.

About twenty people call this place home.
All former humans like me.

I'm Coco Zenibako.

COCO ZENIBAKO

Naon Yuno.

NAON YUNO

Shuuki used to be humans?!

Those things are full-blooded monsters.

We're a special case.

It's a "half-human, half-monster"
kinda situation.

An accident caused us to end up like this.

But... our souls are still human.

Pretty nice setup, right?

You and I can live here together!

Huh?

Oh, don't worry!

You won't have to deal with
being treated like a sl*ve anymore.

Whoa, slow down!

There's no reason for you
to hide, Big Sis!

You're human!

If you talk to the Demon Defense Force,
they'll protect you!

That's not an option.

The Demon Defense Force is our enemy!

They enslaved you,
and with the way their hierarchy works,

we cannot be allies.

A battle is inevitable.

They were friendly up until a minute ago.

What the hell happened?!

Ow-ow-ow!

Are you okay?

Luckily, the wound isn't very deep.

I think this should fix it.

Yeah, I feel just fine!

Besides, I'm way more worried
about Yukki right now.

I can't act like a whiny baby.

Hey, Nei! You find him?!

I asked the other squads
to help look for him, but...

Oh...

I'll try widening the search.

Please do.

What's the commander doing?

She's been holed up inside her room
ever since we got back...

She's currently under orders
from the Supreme Commander

not to attack the humanoids, right?

Maybe that's why...

Yeah, but...

While we're just sitting around,
Yukki might...

The fact that they abducted him tells me
they've got a specific goal in mind.

I'm sure he's safe.

So don't worry!

The commander will come up
with a plan of her own.

Obeying someone other than his master?

He's in trouble when he comes back.

Um, Big Sis?

How'd you know I was in Mato?

I could sense
my little brother's presence here.

You can do that?

Of course. I'm your big sister!

It's my job to be able to find you.

And I didn't want to overinflate your ego,
so I kept my mouth shut back then,

but you're all grown up now,
so I can shout it from the rooftops!

You're a bona fide ultra-hottie, Yuuki!

Wouldn't you two agree?!

Yup.

Sure do.

Hell yeah!

Sorry about her...

I'll go and get you some food.

Big Sis-

I know my sister can be
a little unorthodox sometimes.

Is it hard working with her?

"A little" is an understatement!

Yes, but everyone here loves Aoba.

Flaws and all.

Whatever you've got there
smells delicious.

We grow these Mato mushrooms
in the village.

The flavor and aroma are immaculate.

They're energizing, too.

It smells sweet, like fruit juice.

I wonder what ingredients
it'd pair well with...

What's wrong?

Oh dear...

Despite the accident,
I take great pride in my beauty.

Has Naon Yuno mesmerized you
with her looks?

Are you all right?

Oh, Big Sis...

You brought me some tasty meat buns!

Time to dig in!

These are just field rations I swiped
from the Demon Defense Force,

but for now, it ought to be...

Mm, what a nice texture!

Hey, quit-

How does this happen
when I take my eyes off you?

Prepare for a sortie!

Does this mean you figured out
where Yukki is?

My body began moving automatically.

Which implies...

It's Yuuki!

His transformation must've broken!

I get it! The price of your ability!

If I have to give him a reward,

that makes me a living, breathing
Yuuki Detection Radar!

Are you feeling better now?

Yeah...

Sorry, Big Sis.

Big Sis?

It felt like old times
for a second there...

I think the fact that you're actually
sitting next to me finally sunk in.

Big Sis...

Speaking of which,
that's a Mato Peach, isn't it?

Uh-huh.

You hadn't eaten one
back before we were separated, right?

Can you blame me?

Between the procedures and the paperwork,
it was a huge headache.

Quite a few people
choose not to eat them, y'know.

Ah. It's just...

I had assumed your powers
were a direct result of the Peaches.

There IS a connection between them.

In fact, the Peaches are what caused us
to look like this.

I want to hear the whole story!

You stay here, Nei.
Keep in contact with HQ for us.

If something should happen,
let me know immediately.

Just leave it to me!

We're a united front. Now let's move!

TEACH US! NEI-SENPAI!

"Teach Us! Nei-senpai!"

Okey-dokey!

Today, I'll be explaining more
about the Demon Defense Force.

The Demon Defense Force was established
by the government as a highly trained

MATO SPECIAL DEFENSE FORCES

military unit that may only exercise the
use of force within the confines of Mato.

It's officially named the
Mato Special Defense Forces.

Only women endowed with the benefits
of the Peaches are permitted to join,

and in addition to active combat,
there are plenty of roles to be filled,

some of which create "armor"
out of Peach abilities,

like how Nei gathers intel!

It's an extremely difficult job,

but it comes with the honor of being able
to rescue lots of people from danger!

Anyways, next time:

w*r,

NAON,

RECITE

"w*r, Naon, Recite"

Thanks for watching!
