01x04 - Are These Your Girlfriend's?

[bunniefuu]

THE TRAIN WILL STOP BEFORE THIS POIN

Oh, there it is. It's two weeks from now.

Two weeks

I only have two weeks

to finish the costume?

GROPING IS A CRIME

It takes me a lot of time

just to make clothes for Hina dolls.

For human clothes,

it might take me double

No, maybe more time!

To be honest,

it's my first time making clothes.

I'm not sure if I'm going to make it

in two weeks.

If

If I don't make it

I'm going to disappoint her,

who's already excited about it!

Anyway, once I get home,

I have to make the pattern paper,

and then cut it on cloth

How long does it take to cut it?

Unlike a kimono,

I can't just cut it straight through.

Can I really do it in two or three days?

This is bad. There's not enough time!

My head feels funny.

Gojo is violated by "Slimy Girls."

I'm home.

Oh, welcome back.

You're pretty late today.

Oh, sorry. I forgot to call you.

I went shopping with my friend.

With a friend?

I see.

So what did you buy? A CD? Or a book?

What?

STOCKINGS FOR BEAUTIFUL LEGS

What?

Grandpa!

Wakana!

Miori.

I'm sorry you had to come all this way.

It's fine. How's Grandpa?

He's getting a poultice on him right now.

I see.

At least he didn't hit the wrong spot.

I'll get the painkiller.

Please take care of yourself.

Sorry for the commotion.

Grandpa!

Hey.

Are you okay?

Oh, it's you, Miori.

-What's wrong?

-Take it slow, okay?

Don't give me that.

I was worried sick, you know!

You have to rest for two weeks, right?

Dad said you should stay with us

until you get better.

That's why I'm here to pick you up.

I guess you should.

Uncle's house is closer

to the hospital, too.

We also have a car, just in case.

I see. Guess I'll take your word for it.

You are staying

at our house today too, okay?

I already prepared the futon.

Okay.

I'll bring some clothes tomorrow.

Sorry for the trouble.

Also

Yes?

Get the brushes too.

What?

Okay.

Maybe we should go see

an acupuncturist as well?

You're probably right. It hurts.

Are you okay?

I'm beat from this beating.

-Just kidding.

-Jeez.

I see.

That's why you were absent yesterday.

Yes.

I'm going to my cousin's house

to check on him today.

You must be worried.

I hope your grandpa gets better soon.

Thank you.

Gojo, let me know

if there's anything I can help you with!

I can cook some decent meal, you know.

Kitagawa

Thank you very much, but I'm good.

I see.

Oh, right! Why don't we

exchange contact details?

If anything happens,

isn't it better to stay in touch?

Right?

You're right.

I haven't made any progress

with the clothes for the past few days.

I've got to make some today.

Oh, right.

I brought the already styled wig,

so I'll give it to you later.

Gojo?

What? Oh, sorry.

Oh, my.

Dang, it's already midterm next week, huh?

That's just plain lame, right?

-I'd usually cram it overnight, you know.

-I forgot.

sh**t! I forgot we had exams!

I have to find the time

to make the clothes

between visiting my grandpa

and studying for the exams.

-Gojo?

-What?

Are you okay?

Oh, yes.

I'm sorry.

I'm doomed, aren't I?

Yes, this is Gojo Dolls.

A workshop tour?

Yes. I heard that we could do it

in your workshop.

Yes, we can do that.

Thank god!

My best friend is interested

in Hina dolls,

and he wanted to see them.

When do you want to do the tour?

Well, could you arrange it for tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Actually, we're closed

until next Saturday,

so if we could

reschedule it after Saturday

Oh, I see.

Actually, my friend is from France,

and is spending the holiday here,

but they have to fly back

to France tomorrow.

That's why it has to be tomorrow.

I'm sorry. Thank you for your time.

Wait.

We can do it tomorrow!

What?

If you're fine with me as your guide,

I could do it at around 4:00 p.m.

Really? Thank you very much!

Yes.

Yes. I'll be waiting tomorrow, then.

What should I do?

What should I do?

What should I do?

What should I do?

What should I do?

WORLD HISTORY A

Time's up, kids.

-It's over!

-Yes!

It's over!

I should have finished the apron

and headdress first.

Did you do well, Marin?

What?

Well, kind of?

What's wrong?

I WANT TO GO TO YOUR HOUSE

HAVE YOU EATEN YET?

I thought he would be here at night.

Looks like I was mistaken.

Could he be in his grandpa's hometown

now that the exams are over?

I wonder if Gojo is okay?

I guess I'll eat alone.

My head hurts.

I feel sick.

I want to puke.

I can't think straight.

I haven't slept properly for a while.

The clothes

are still unfinished.

She's really excited about this.

I bet she would be sad.

Get the brushes too.

Why are we bringing

the brushes on the trip?

What?

If I don't move my hands every day,

I'll lose my touch.

If I skip even one day,

it takes three days to regain my senses.

I'm still bad at it,

and yet I've lost count

of how many days I haven't touched it.

Am I

not cut out for this?

No matter how much I like it,

it doesn't mean I'm cut out for it.

Even though you're trying your best,

it doesn't mean

you will reap what you sow.

What if I give up

on being a Hina doll artisan?

I can't even finish the clothes

that were entrusted to me.

Why can't I do it right?

Why am I so bad?

Everything, all of it

Everything I do

It's all half-assed!

WORLD'S HOBBY HOUSE

YUZAWAYA

Grandpa

Yes?

Isn't it hard

to make Hina dolls every day?

You never come to hate it?

I do sometimes, though.

Just because I like it

doesn't mean I can do it.

But you know, I can hang in there

even in the hardest times

because I like doing it.

When I see the smiling faces

of the customers,

it makes me feel,

"Oh, I'm glad I'm doing this."

Look.

I want to see them happy.

That's the reason I can do

my best even if it's hard.

Gojo.

Thank you.

I guess that's fine.

Fussing over stuff

like that is important, right?

That's great!

Once it's done,

I wonder where I should show it off.

I'm really glad that you're here.

Thank you.

Scissors

Where did I put my scissors again?

WAKANA GOJO: IT'S DONE

I'LL GO TO BED NOW

No way

I barely made it in time, but it's done.

Now you can enter the event, right?

Gojo, could it be

What?

You were thinking

that I would be joining today's event?

What? You're not?

I

don't know how long it will take

to make the clothes,

and when you search for cosplay events,

you'll always find one for sure,

and I don't mind if I have to wait long

until you finish my costume.

I'm sorry!

It's because I didn't tell you properly!

Sorry for misleading you!

So that's what it was.

Thank goodness.

What?

I was worried that I wouldn't make it,

and that made me feel uneasy.

So I still have time, right?

Oh, boy. Thank goodness.

What?

Kitagawa?

I

Every day, after school,

you would always go home early,

I thought maybe you were just visiting

your grandpa or something.

I didn't know you were still making it

even though

you were going through so much.

I'm sorry. I

I didn't notice it.

Gojo

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry!

Me too.

I'm sorry that I kept doing it

without telling you beforehand.

Not to mention that we exchanged numbers.

I should've told you first.

I'm really sorry!

Well

Do you want to try it on?

It's almost done after all.

What?

While you're wearing it,

I want to check whether or not

there's a part that needs readjusting.

Oh, right!

I want to see

the entire balancing of the costume,

so how about you put

on the wig and makeup?

But aren't you tired, Gojo?

Kitagawa.

What?

You want to become Shizuku, right?

I really want to become her!

Then try it on.

I'm glad that it's done.

If you're happy about it,

then I'm happy too.

Are you not happy about it?

Of course, I am.

I'm happy. Thank you.

Thank you, Gojo.

Yes.

Thank you.

I'll absolutely try it on.

Thank you so much, Gojo.

You're welcome.

Has it stopped?

It's fine now.

It's done.

Are you done removing the makeup?

Yes.

All right, then.

Lower your eyebrows like this.

Use red eyeshadow,

then apply some blusher right below it.

To make the impression

of those crimson eyes,

we need to hold them

with some coloring from lipstick.

Then again, we need to make it

stand out the same as the clothes,

so we should use a darker color

A gothic makeup vibe, right?

Gothic?

First, pull the eye tape, then

-apply it where you want the crease.

-I see.

You can change

the shape of double eyelids too, huh?

If it's eye tape, then I have it.

Really?

I just bought it on an impulse

but ended up never using it.

These fake eyelashes are kind of good.

If we use the ones with long eyelashes,

we can make the impression

of a sagging eye.

You're so close to becoming Shizuku!

I don't have eyelashes with me.

I've tried wearing them once,

but it was impossible.

Don't worry. I have some.

What?

I have some varieties,

and I'm glad I have the long ones.

Kitagawa?

Are these your girlfriend's?

They're not!

Hina dolls have eyelashes too nowadays,

so I just bought them for experiments!

This one, right here.

Oh, my! It's so cute!

So the dolls are like this now?

If someone bought me one of these,

I would be really happy.

And the kimono pattern is rose too.

Nowadays, Hina dolls wear

pink or orange lipsticks,

some blush on their cheeks,

and their hair

is either black or chocolate,

with some being blonde too.

Gosh, that's cute.

Aren't they basically gyaru?

I still don't know about it,

but Grandpa and his friend can tell

who makes the dolls

just by looking at their eyebrows.

That's cool.

But I bet you can tell

who made these Hina dolls

just by looking at them, right?

Yes.

-You know

-What?

I hope I can make

one of these myself someday.

I'm sorry for the rambling!

I'm sure you can.

What?

You can make one.

I believe in you.

Go for it.

Thank you.

So that's how you smile, huh?

What?

This is actually my first time seeing it.

Oh, well, what

Is that so?

Yes.

What?

Well, what about the eyebrows?

The shape is different from yours,

so we have to remove yours.

They'll grow again,

so I guess I'll just do a clean shave.

What a woman of action!

Hey, Gojo.

I'm already wearing it.

Gojo

Do I already look like Shizuku?

Yes!

You're the spitting image of Shizuku now!

Right?

Gojo, you're awesome!

Do I look so much like Shizuku?

Yes!

You look so much like Shizuku!
