02x06 - There's No Way I Can Be Normal!!

[bunniefuu]

I'm telling you, you can just
study at that desk over there!

Why don't you go use your phone
on that sofa over there?!

Wait, I don't have my phone!

I don't have my study materials!

What does she want us to do
here for a whole two weeks?!

Umino-tei Diner

Episode 6: There's No Way I Can Be Normal!!

I'll forward the message I got
from Mrs. Amano.

To the Umino family,
The two kids are currently in the care of an
Amano-affiliated hotel. Rest assured that they
are safe for the next two weeks.
Amano Ritsuko

The two kids are currently in the care
of an Amano-affiliated hotel.

There's no way nothing's going to happen.

It's no use. We're completely locked inside.

We're stuck in this hotel room
together for the next two weeks?!

Then again, we've been living in
separate rooms in a single home.

It shouldn't really change
anything. It'll be fine, right?

She isn't leaving us a choice.

We'll just have to endure
for the next two weeks.

What?

I'm just a bit surprised.

I thought you would have
tried to find a way out.

There isn't one.

This is what she does every
time I cause a problem.

This isn't the first time?

Let's eat.

It's so juicy!

Your mom's pretty amazing.

I'd never met her properly before.

She's always been like that.

She looks and acts docile,
but she's totally nuts.

Just like you.

Is that how you see me?!

You're right that she's eccentric,
but I think what she says makes sense.

She seemed to be enjoying our reaction,

but I think she's really trying to protect us.

Mom's just having fun with us.

Thanks for dinner.

You're done already?

I have stuff to do.

Stuff to do?

Amano-san?!

I can't anymore!

What are you doing?

Just help me down!

The chair I was standing on fell over!

I'm falling! I'm falling!

I'm jumping on the count of three! Catch me!

One, two...

Wait!

Ow!

Come on!

How can you be thinking like that now?

That's my line!

I was just trying to grab the yoga mat I found!

My leg...

It's weird...

What now?

Ow!

What's happening?! Ow, ow, ow!

Is your leg cramping?

Raise it up.

I can't! I can't!

Just do it!

It's gonna tear off!

Is that better?

Hey, I think it is better!

Enough of that!

Again, that's my line!

Am I really going to survive
a whole two weeks like this?

Amano-san.

You've been in there for nearly
two hours. You okay?

Something's wrong.

Amano-sa—

I was in for too long.

Don't scare me like that.

Shut up.

Just stay put and act normal.

There's no way I can be normal.

This is my first time...

being in a hotel room alone with a guy.

I work in the TV business.

I'm not letting you leave until
I'm thoroughly entertained.

Your comments got my heart pounding.

Not my fault.

Let's do this.

We make sure we don't get
each other's hearts going.

What?

We have to try not to think
about each other that way.

Well, what do you think?

Honestly?

What color do you like?

How does that get your heart going?

Of course it does!

It's like you're trying to get in my head.

I'm asking you banal questions
so you don't feel the tension.

Oh, that's what that was.

My favorite color...

Wait, why am I the one answering?

That gets my heart going!

Everything gets your heart going!

Don't just stand up all of a sudden!

I can't even stand?!

Just no! Standing up is the worst!

You two make no sense.

You can't be serious!

And stop that, too!

Well, shall we get started?

What do I do, then?!

Vent

Lights

Riddle Channel

Hey, happy kids!

It's riddle time!

Why did the TV turn on?!

Er...

My heart's only racing because
I was surprised, okay?

Exactly.

Time for Sobassyi's riddles!

This is so juvenile,
it stopped my heart racing.

True.

What gets harder the more H it is?

Let's see if you know the answer!

Wait... Seriously?!

Pant, pant, pant...

Relax, Amano-san.

What are you even imagining?

Nagi-kun...

You're getting more H, aren't you?

I am not.

You totally are!

The answer is pencils!

Pencils!

Oh, God, this is too funny!

Let's keep going!

Music

AC

Open/Close

Man... It's getting hot in here.

I know.

Wait, Nagi-kun!

Why are you in just a T-shirt?!

Why are you complaining?

Okay, but...

Heating

Hey, the AC's set to heating.

Seriously.

Jeez, stop sweating!
You're getting my heart racing!

It's a natural bodily function!

You're totally drenched, too!

I most certainly am not!

You're soaked in sweat!

Nope, I'm feeling completely cool!

I can't breathe!

Okay, I'm taking a bath.

You can use the bed.

You're gonna leave me hanging?!

What, you want me not to take
a bath for two weeks, then?!

I never said that!

I just want to get some sleep!

So do I!

Okay, I know.

Nagi-kun, stay there and don't move.

Why don't you just make
an effort not to look at me?

Well? Now what?

Night.

These kids! Are they mental?!

Now...

This is where things get real.

Dry

Auto

It's finally quiet.

I'm getting thirsty.

Where's the water?

Wh-What...

This could be the biggest heart-pounder yet!

It's kinda lukewarm.

Is she half-asleep?!

Whatever, better than nothing.

This lid's such a weird shape.

It won't open!

Ugh!

Why is it so salty?

Oh, hey, there's my bottle!

I made a mistake.

I'm used to it now. It's fine.

Plus, I know you're safe
as long as you're tied up.

But you'd better not be a restless sleeper.

And you aren't?

I'm turning the lights off.

Amano-san...

What?

I feel like something's
not right about this situation.

Why put us in the same room if she
wants to keep us away from everyone?

Isn't it obvious?

Mom turns everything into entertainment.

She's just amusing herself
with this situation.

That's my girl!

She totally gets it.

That isn't all.

She's testing us.

To make us a better match.

I'm not falling for that.

Yeah.

You finally figured it out.

But you still have two weeks.

There's no way you'll make it.

It's only a matter of time
until Erika comes crying to me.

Done!
New song

That's odd...

He isn't reading my messages.

Wake up

Morning.

Huh?

I'm already done with breakfast.

Have them take it away after you're done.

Bread...

I prefer rice for breakfast.

You're always like this.

You say you'll eat anything,
but when I say, "Pizza," you're like...

Pizza? I dunno...

Every time.

Meanwhile, you say...

Don't want katsudon.

And then you're like...

More!

I know you're holding a
full-on recital in the bath.

I know you do a weird wiggly
dance in the living room.

This is so petty.

I guess.

I'm starting to feel like we'll make it.

I hope so.

Mom probably thinks I'm about to start banging
on the door and begging her to let me out.

If she thinks she's going to get
her way, she's totally wrong.

Whether I fall in love with you or not,

either way, I'm deciding for myself!

So that's what happened.

Mom, look at this!

Erika's changed since she met Nagi-kun.

Mom, buy me this!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

I'm not letting you take Erika!

Change of plans!

Practice proofs
Given a right triangle ABC, let Q be the intersection
between two line segments AO and BP drawn to edges
BC and AC respectively.
Prove that when angle BQO = 60 degrees, BO=CP.

Good. You passed.

Yay!

You're working so hard.

You finished all your homework, too.

My teacher at school said I'm doing good, too.

That my grades went up over the summer.

Thanks to you, Hiro-san.

Yeah.

Umino-kun and Erika-chan
skipped school today.

Ah... About that...

Wow, so that's what happened.

No wonder they aren't at school.

I think it's her mom's doing.

Though...

It's none of my business, I guess.

Good day, both of you.

Mom?!

How are you enjoying your imprisonment?

I could keep it up for a century.

I'm glad to hear it.

But you know, you're a boy, Nagi-kun.

You must be approaching your limit.

Limit for what?

I mean, Erika's got such a cute face,
and her body's developed beyond her age.

You couldn't be blamed for being rock-hard.

Rock-hard?!

Relax. She's testing us.

Right. I forgot.

We're fine.

We were living together before, too.

Anyway, Mom, what do you want?

I thought the two of you might be bored, so...

Momma Quiz!!

Ta-da!

I'm gonna host a quiz for you!

What? What?

Is it that exciting for you?

The winner will get anything
they currently want!

I'm down!

Okay, question one.

What's this?

That's our reception room.

Yo, yo, yo!

Erika in da house!

Listen up, y'all, Erika the Rapper's da b*mb!

Super dorbs world domination,
no baddy is gonna get

in the way of Erika's quest for world peace!

Rich or poor, you're all in! Yo!

End me.

Who's that?

I never knew you were da b*mb rapper.

Stop!

Nagi-kun's correct!

Nice!

But why that footage?

Okay, next question.

What do all of these people have in common?

These are all the tutors I fired.

Erika's right!

What the hell?!

They couldn't keep up with me, that's all.

Final question!

What is this a picture of?

No more!

Wait, Amano-san...

You totaled a car?!

Correct, Nagi-kun!

Back when she was ten,

Erika snuck out with the keys when we weren't
looking, started the engine, and took off.

I was just trying to run away from home.

When you were ten?!

So that's what this is about.

She keeps doing things like this.

I see.

For you to remember stuff like this,
you must really love Erika-san.

I don't know about her past.

But...

Right now, at least,
Amano-san is so joyful and bright

that I can hardly look straight at her.

So I'll look at who she is now,
not who she was before,

and decide whether I want
to marry her for myself.

You still piss me off.

Do you think she got it?

She isn't reacting.

Hey, what was that about?!

I'm the one choosing!

What? I have a right to choose, too!

Meguro Myoujin

Is something wrong?

Hiro-san, take a look at this.

I'll continue investigating

Please and thank you

I've determined the hotel they're at

Sachi-chan, will you come along?

I've determined the hotel they're at.

Sachi-chan, will you come along?

Do you not need to observe them anymore?

I'm bored of them.

I still have work at the station.

Uh-huh...

I can't believe I see my husband in him.

He really is our son, isn't he?

Reward for the winner of the quiz

"Reward for the winner of the quiz."

What do you most need right now?

"What do you most need right now?"

What do I need most right now...

A tablet, obviously.

You can subscribe to watch all
the movies and TV shows you want!

And you can get apps and games and stuff.

We can waste all the time in the world!

Okay, it's settled.

The entire eleventh grade curriculum!

I'm getting fired up!

I've never seen anyone
get turned on by textbooks.

Pant, pant, pant...

Who's there?!

Wait, Amano-san!

Ai.

Ai-chan?! Why?!
