01x02 - Interest, Shushu, Bare Skin

[bunniefuu]

This is my path

This is my story

to becoming the Supreme Commander.

of becoming a Hero!

When I gently wake up

I find myself covered in darkness

As tears fall one by one,

I endure my own grief

I vowed to hold that hope in my hands

I've been dreaming of it for a long time

A dream that feels

so distant and unreachable

I kept hoping that it would come true

That's when you reached out to me

"You are always looking forward."

"You are always genuine."

I know I can make it with you

I'll turn this world

into a garden of light

I'll do it for sure,

and lead it to the future

(Caretaker: Yuuki Wakura)

(EPISODE.2 Interest, Shushu, Bare Skin)

Nice! It's all shiny!

It feels satisfying to be able to

do a good job!

Though the location doesn't

feel refreshing.

The barrier

Shuuki can get this close

to the dormitory?

Are you okay, Yuuki?

Oh, Nei. Welcome back.

The 7th Squad is located in the southwest,

the unlucky quarter.

So lots of Shuukis appear here more

than in other dormitories.

Unlucky quarter?

First of all, Mato is an alternate

dimension as big as Tokyo.

It's divided into eight different areas,

with a squad assigned to each one.

Four is an unlucky number,

so there's no 4th Squad.

I see.

You're a real help, Nei.

I still don't know anything about Mato.

I'm your superior, so it's natural.

I'm still not used to having an elementary

school student as my superior.

By the way, can we leave it alone?

I don't see a problem if

we leave a Shuuki at this level here.

But

Hey!

What are you babbling about,

Yuuki Wakura?

What if it hits us?

Don't underestimate my skill.

If I wanted to hit you,

I'd make sure it hit you.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Just hurry up and get dinner ready.

Yeah, yeah.

What's with that attitude?

You should be thankful.

For us letting a man like you

eat the same food and place as us!

It's all thanks to the Commander's mercy!

My place is at the bottom of the pile.

Let's go.

I feel someone's watching.

Was it my imagination?

Mr. Caretaker's cooking is so delicious!

I'm not picky about food, but I like

having a nutritionally balanced meal.

I'll have seconds.

Please teach me how to cook too!

I leave the cleaning of plates

and the bathroom to you as well.

Clean the empty rooms

and the watchtowers too.

Yes, Ma'am!

Wait, no!

I want to be a hero! Not a handyman!

Excuse me, Miss Kyouka?

You said that I could help you

protect people here.

But it feels like I'm mainly

just doing housework.

I will use you

when the situation needs it.

So I don't mind you doing chores

until the time comes.

Wait

Do you have a problem with

what the Commander is saying?

It can become a katana, too?

There are only girls in this dorm.

I know some of you aren't happy about

taking on a male caretaker.

But he's good at housework,

and I need him for my ability.

I'd like you all to accept him.

But if he misbehaves, then as his master,

I will twist him off myself.

Is that good enough?

Yes, Ma'am.

Twist me off?

Nei!

I'm entering first.

Yes!

That scared me.

I saw that.

I think I just heard Shushu's voice.

Look here!

You've finally shown your true self,

Mr. Caretaker.

Shushu?!

Surprised?

My ability can also make me shrink.

What are you

I've been watching you lately,

Mr. Caretaker.

Since I was curious about what

kind of creatures men are.

And I found this super great moment!

It's a misunderstanding!

I wonder what would

the Commander think of this?

Maybe you'll get twisted off?

Are you blackmailing me?

Do you want money?

What's important is the excitement.

If you don't want this to get out,

become my sl*ve then, Mr. Caretaker.

I'm already a sl*ve, though.

I really don't get excited

with romance mangas.

I like adventure stories more.

Don't you think so, Mr. Caretaker?

Yeah.

I knew it.

I have to do something about

that photo on her phone.

Otherwise, I'll be her sl*ve forever.

I'm bored.

Now!

What a bad sl*ve you are,

with that in your hand.

Wow.

Your face is so red, Mr. Caretaker.

You did that on purpose, right?!

You're so simple and funny.

More importantly, as a girl,

are you fine with me touching that?

Of course, it would creep me out

if you reacted weirdly.

But you don't feel like a man to me.

You're more like an interesting pet.

Pet?

You're just doing our chores here, no?

You have to treat it like other clothes.

So, I'm fine with you touching it

as much as you like.

Then, I'll sort this

I think I could use this to threaten you.

Don't take photos without my permission!

Anyway, the photo she took

was an accident.

Maybe I'd be fine if

I explained it to Miss Kyouka.

Hm? From the outside?

Faster, Himari!

Don't give your opponent

a chance to strike back!

Yes, Ma'am!

Although your attacks are not lethal,

they are useful in disrupting

the Shuuki's movement.

To use it well,

you must be fast, heavy, and sharp.

A Shuuki!

Watch me!

This is how you do a combo move.

Without using the ability!

As expected of the Commander!

k*lled instantly!

Oh no! I don't want to give

Miss Kyouka the wrong idea.

What is it, Nei?

I have a message as your superior.

I'm listening.

Soon, the Commander, Himari, and I

will be leaving for a meeting.

Please watch the dorm

together with Shushu.

Together with Shushu?!

Shushu is a very good person.

You should use this chance to

chat with her a lot.

That's not the face of a good person.

That's good.

This sure hits the spot after a workout.

- Just because I was in the wrong place

at the wrong time - That one is good.

- I should tell her what's on my mind!

- So good.

Maybe, I massage her instead for now.

Why are you so good at shoulder massage?

I used to do it to my older sister.

You have an older sister too?

Do you have one as well?

I'm the youngest of three sisters.

We lost our Dad,

and I went to all-girls schools.

I've never talked to a boy before.

Is that why you're curious about me?

I've been watching you real closely.

Since it seemed fun,

I decided to make you my sl*ve.

That logic makes no sense!

Is that so?

I think having fun is more important

than anything.

Not to mention, since coming to Mato,

I've been craving for an excitement.

You're risking your life for that reason?

Yup. Isn't exterminating Shuuki fun?

It's like being the main character of

an adventure manga.

My shoulders are loosened up.

Let's play a fighting game!

Sure.

I can play most of the game.

Then let's have a penalty.

Whoever loses has to remove

one piece of clothing.

Wait! But

A sl*ve has no right to refuse, you know?

You're on.

I'll beat her and make her apologize.

You suck, Mr. Caretaker.

I'm usually not allowed to

use Guile by my friends.

That means you have to be naked.

But if I take this off, it'll be a crime.

This is Mato.

No need to worry about that.

I've never seen a boy naked before,

so I'm a little curious.

But I'm a man!

If we get in a weird mood,

you could be in danger and get hurt.

Me? In danger?

You should be a little more aware

of the "danger".

You were worried about that?

What a gentleman!

I'll be fine.

I won't let a man beat me.

Right, she has an ability.

I'd as*ault you instead.

Hold on, wait!

You fool! Stop!

Nope.

You're under my control, now.

As a penalty, I'm going to have you

show me everything!

Let's see

Stop!

It's so small and cute!

How hilarious!

Enemy attack!

Now of all times, when Miss Kyouka

and the others are away?

The barrier cracked!

Wait here, Mr. Caretaker.

Hey!

Boys are weak, so stay put.

Try to overwhelm us by size difference?

That's a good plan.

But I can go even bigger.

Thanks to the ability

I got from the peach.

Paradigm Shift!

So huge!

Is that all?

Now, take this!

She's amazing.

Getting big is so exhausting.

Shushu, behind you!

The other one was hiding?

How cunning.

As usual, they're really interesting.

This might actually be bad.

Paradigm Shift!

Huh?

Oh no!

Shushu!

She's in danger!

I want to transform,

but I can't without Miss Kyouka.

Is there really nothing I can do?

I transformed when I kissed Miss Kyouka.

If that's possible

Maybe I can transform if I kiss

something belonging to Miss Kyouka.

I can't transform.

But there was a reaction.

Is there something that will

give a stronger stimulus?

Please forgive me!

I did it for a second there!

If a shirt gets me close, then

Isn't this a bit much as a human being?

This is no time to hesitate!

I want to play an active role as a hero.

If licking a boot will make that dream

come true, then I'll do it!

I got carried away

and gigantified too much.

My bad habit.

I'll be reverting soon.

That's something kind of half-baked,

isn't it?!

Even so, I'm going to do it!

Hold it down for me!

Stay put!

Amazing.

I did it.

But it's running out fast.

I can't move my body.

You're wrong! I just

I'm glad you saved me, but

I can't get out!

A forced transformation?

You really overdid it.

You told me that boys are weak,

and I should just stay put.

It made me want to show off.

I transformed while naked!

Don't get the wrong ideas!

I get a bit excited when I transform!

Stay down, my partner!

Stay down!

Tha That's kinda amazing.

Ouch! It hurts!

Miss Kyouka, please reduce

your strength a bit!

Put up with it.

It took a bit of a fight to be like that.

You're pathetic.

Shut up!

Shouldn't we fix the cracked barrier?

Don't worry.

The barrier that protects important facilities

such as the dorm and the peach grove

are specially made.

If there is a slight damage,

it will be restored in no time.

Come to think of it, that time was

More importantly, don't move!

It hurts!

Does this mean a forced transformation

gets a reward like this?

Shushu, don't go looking for thrills

by exterminating Shuukis.

If you underestimate them,

it'll cost your life.

Yes, my apologies.

As your punishment,

help Yuuki with the chores.

Yes, Ma'am.

Ouch

What are you doing?

Asserting dominance as your master.

I'm getting more curious

about boys like you.

We'll continue our relationship.

What's with that exquisite photo?!

I look forward to it!

Wait!

I mean, there are more

and more dangerous photos.

I can't get away anymore.

Can I really be free from her?

I'm not letting you go, Yukki.

Go ahead!

Report it to the Commander!

Roger that!

That's not an ordinary Shuuki.

Yuna! Kaoru!

Don't eat her.

There's no mistaking it. I can feel him.

I'm absolutely sure of it.

There's no way I can be wrong.

Yuuki is in Mato.

Then I have to go meet him.

Hey, why don't you try to relax?

If we hold each other hands,

we'll be invincible

Our hands are linked together

in the chain that holding you

I'll never let you go

Effort alone is not enough

Sometimes things just happen

out of the blue

But it's easy to change

A special relationship starts from

the encounter with you

These shaking feelings and body heat

are anxiety which comes from you

My heart beats faster with

each twist or two

Hey, why don't you try to relax?

If we hold each other hands,

we'll be invincible

Our hands are linked together

transmitting sympathy

In the chain that holding you

I'll never let you go again

I'll never let you go

Please teach us, Senior Nei!

Yes!

This time we will talk about

Shushu's peach blessing, Paradigm Shift.

This is the ability to change

the size of one's body.

Not only her body, the clothes

she wears can be resized together.

This is very convenient

when you are moving.

By the way, the dormitory is

equipped with Wi-Fi.

Shushu often plays fighting games

online in her room.

I also sometimes play with her.
