I'm only in my first year, and I have to use two sites and my boyfriend to get it all done even anything close to right. I generally guess at some things, and I probably have all the onomatopoeia (sound effects) fucked up. But you can get the jist, yup?] [I own the tankouban, not the Nakayoshi chapters. So my page counts are the counts that are in my book. React accordingly.] [Names are written Japanese style with the last name first.

(I still don't understand the feelings I have...) (they are inside us...) Minto has the Blue Lorikeet... Aoyama: Are those Red Data Animals? *THUMP* p. 99 Aoyama: Right? You're interested? Ichigo: E? A... mmhmm! Aoyama: I have a better book at my house. You can come there and look at it, if that's good. (EE!!) *pop!* p. 100: Ichigo: (Ack! My ears...) *grab* Aoyama: ...Something wrong? You're holding your head... Ichigo: uh...no...um... I'm massaging my brain so to understand the book better! Aoyama: I get it! You're very enthusiastic, Momomiya-san! Ichigo: Naturally! (He didn't find out! -Yes!-) [It's more of a happy exclamation, really.] Aoyama: I believe the book is sorted by continents. Momomiya-san, which... Momomiya-san...? Ichigo: WHAT WAS THAT FOR! YARG! Shirogane: Hmm? p. 101: -Sign: three minutes ago, Playback- Aoyama: .... Ichigo: That was my big chance with Aoyama-kun too! Shirogane: What are you saying? I just saved you! You just got excited in the middle of the town! *grab* You should be thanking me, CATGIRL. pg 102: *zooming along* Ichigo: What? You always take me off without asking! What do you want now? Shirogane: It's easy -Even you'll get it done fast.- Ichigo: What?! Shirogane: Take off your clothes. Ichigo: wh--wha-- *shaking in fury* Shirogane: So hurry up and take off your outfit, right here. -Didn't I say you could do it?- Ichigo: INDECENT! *kick* p. 103 Shirogane: That's not what I mean! I mean that you should change clothes! Ichigo: You should have said that from the get-go! WAI!! CUTE!! Shirogane: Do you like it? Ichigo: MMHMM! Shirogane: It's yours, then. Ichigo: Really? p 104: Shirogane: Well, do your best at work! Ichigo: *bowing* Of course sir! I'll do my best at work! ...um, where am I? what kind of work... Shirogane: Where? At this store, it's been settled. Ichigo: (Whoa!!) Shirogane: Well? It's great, yes? Ichigo: Excuse me? Why should I work in this cafe... Voice: What a good question, Ichigo-san. p. 105 Ichigo: A-Akasaka-san! -You just dropped in!- Akasaka: Always, always, I explain late. Do excuse me. *heart* Such a cute store, by it's nature, has girls come and gather here. The Red Data Animal genes was injected into three more girls. You shall pretend to be a waitress in order to find them. Such as a girl who's recently become strangely skilled and nimble or gotten new and unique ablities. Ichigo: Is that so... But how will I gather the information... Voice: It's no matter; If you don't help it's okay. Minto: I can find out all by myself. Ichigo: (It can't be! Minto!) Minto: Isn't this a very interesting experience? Normally, my maid does everything for me, so working is such a new thing! Ichigo: This is just a hobby for you, rich girl! *upset* p. 106 And what do you mean 'new thing'? Working together--I just wont! Shirogane: Pay's 1000 yen an hour. [that's about ten bucks American, which ain't bad at all!] Ichigo: *turns* R-2000: 1000 yen, 1000 yen! -repeat playback fuction- Ichigo: *mind change* R-2000: 1000 yen! Ichigo: Welcome to Cafe Mew Mew! Welcome! -heart- -Mint: That's why I despise the poor.- Ichigo: -I apologize for the wait -heart-- Minto: Ah, the table on the inside is calling; Clean up table number three; Put out some water. p. 107 Minto: Ah, come over here please. Ichigo: Right away! Hey, you're not working at all! Minto: Ha? Well, it's not my fault. I always have this time as afternoon tea time; it's what I decided. Ichigo: It's what you decided?! -If it must be done, do it at home!- And I thought I was selfish... Voice 1: It came forth, it has to be true! Okumura Great Auxiliary Junior High, even though it's the off season there, has sounds coming from the pool--strange gurgling sounds... a bubbling sound and then this soaked young woman rose up and startled people. They tried to address her... The woman's eyes glittered yellow and suddenly she attacked with a stream of water. There was confusion, and they tried to run, but the water followed them no matter where they went, and they nearly drowned. Everyone there was admitted to the hospital... Ichigo: -*tremble trembler*- Voice 2: Hmm, I heard that someone's ghost is there... Voice 3: I personally heard that the spirit is a person who commited suicide... Ichigo: (That...that girl...) p. 108 Mean Girl 3: That's why you should go and confirm this. Mean girl 2: You already checked the Science and Music rooms, at midnight. This time, go look inside the pool. Ichigo: (I'm sure of it, that time at the museum...) Minto: Hmm...I thought you were going to quit. Ichigo: That's not what I said... Minto: ...It looks like they're harassing her again, yes? Ichigo? Ichigo: I'm sorry I made you wait! Here's your special strawberry parfait! Mean Girl 1: ? We didn't ask for that... *SPLAT!* Ichigo: Oh my! So sorry! *heart* Mean Girl 1: Kya! Aya! Mean Girl 3: Why'd you do that?! p. 109 Mean Girl 3: Hey, you're from before... -Minto:None of my business...- What? You're harrasing us again... Voice: Excuse me... Akasaka: I'm so sorry, what was the waitress's mistake? Just come this way and I'll fix it. *wink* Ichigo: Ehehe...I just couldn't stand there.... Girl 2: No... Ichigo: But why are you with them? It looks like they always harass you. Girl 2: It's because I make everyone upset and annoy them... If we talk about these problems, eventually they'll treat me better.... p. 110 Girl 2: So I'll just keep trying. Ichigo: (This girl... She's very nice...) I see... I'm Momomiya Ichigo. (We can try to be friends *heart*) Girl 2: I am Midorikawa Retasu. Voice: Hey! Retasu! We're going! Retasu: A...see you later.... Ichigo: (You will try harder...) Minto: Make no mistake... It's an Anima! Ichigo: (e?) p. 111 Minto: It sounds like an ordinary school ghost story, but it's not! [Apparantly the Japanese have a tradition of telling stories about ghosts haunting a school.] A spirit that controls water...it's a new Chimera Anima! -I'm so excited!- Let's go examine their story! Ichigo: Ya! Minto: Wh-- Ichigo: No way! Monsters scare me! Minto: What a silly statement! -Your ears fully popped out.- Ichigo: Monsters--no way! Monsters--no way! Monsters--no way! NO WAY~! NO! Minto: ...no way, then? Ichigo: *nods hard* Minto: Well, today's no good then. And anyways, it's 4 o'clock. Ichigo: E? p. 112 Minto: After this I have Traditional Japanese Dance practice! Ichigo: Y-you just changed clothes... -And we're still at work!- Minto: I have a woman's skill. -Well, if you don't mind...- Ichigo: Wa-- Minto: I'm off! -Person 1: Water please!- -Person 2: Where's my cheesecake?- Person 3: Excuse me, a cappuchino please. -Person 4: Apple pie for two!- Person 5: Kya! My water spilt! Person 6: Check please! Person 7: Hi! Here's the evening paper! Ichigo: Yes! I'm on the way! Akasaka: Thank you so much. Shall we close up for today? p. 113: Ichigo: (Ha...so stressing...) It's done... *panting* (1000 yen an hour is why I started... But it's not easy at all...) -Akasaka:...- *wobble wobble* A, Akasaka-san, Just where is he? Akasaka: Do you mean Ryou? In his room above. Ichigo: Ah, is he? Well, I'd like to go up there and greet him... [Ichigo's hinting for Akasaka to take her up there without really saying so.] *totter* Akasaka: Thanks again! *pause* Ichigo: (W--wait a second...He's been on my mind all day...very strange...) (A person who works others hard without a word of gratitude...) (How does he explain himself? Saying that I'm a living weapon! Making me search for comrades! And then overworking me at this part time job!) (Ooo...I'm angry! *stomp stomp* (Today! Today is it!) Just a second, you! (I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind!) p. 114 [Nothing here but a topless Shirogane and a gawking Ichigo!] p. 115 *peeking* (What? Why is he dressed like that?) (There's nothing in his room but a bed and a computer... It's very lonely...) (I know nothing about him...Why? Does he live alone?) (Why? He's just a high school student but he's the manager? Why does he know facts on aliens?) (Why... am I his business...) p. 116 Shirogane: UWAA! Ichigo: KYAA! Shirogane: What are you looking in on me for! -Are you a Peeping Tom?- Ichigo: That's what I was going to say! You overworked me and I'm exhausted! *upset* *stomach growling* I'm hungry; can you gimme some grub? Ichigo: ... Just a second! Shirogane: ? Ichigo: There... p. 117 Ichigo: Hehe... It's not a lot but I'm proud of it *heart* Shirogane: What? Just rice balls? -That's not very good.- Ichigo: Hey.... Shirogane: A... Ichigo: E? Shirogane: This is pretty good. Ichigo: E? -Shirogane: Have some?- Ichigo: (I would have never thought it... Wh-what's this? Why suddenly...) p. 118 Ichigo: (Suddenly, that face...) *BLUSH* A.... *clink* I'm going home! *running away* Why that face! Moron! When you have that face I...I... I become happy... -ehe!- p. 119 Minto: What mde you happy? Ichigo: What it was... huh? Minto: Now then, let's go Ichigo! *display* Ichigo: Minto! Erm...you came back? We're going? Where...? -And what on earth is the choaker for?- *thump thump thump thump* *evil grin* Minto: Okumura Great Auxiliary Junior High, of course! *spazz* Ichigo: I'm going home! *clamp!* Minto: *smiling* Now then... You can't escape. -Ready then?- Let's go! *heart* Ichigo: IIIII! p. 120 Minto: So this is Okumura Great Auxiliary Junior High, hmm.... Let's look at the pool first, yes? Ichigo: Hey, wait for me! Minto: Hmm...this is the pool... Ichigo: Schools at night are scary! Hurry up! I wanna go home! *sniffling and tearing up* Minto: Oh, shut up! .... Ah, ah! A person's shadow over there! *pop* Ichigo: KYAAA! Minto: What's that eerie crying from somewhere? Ichigo: IIIII! p. 121 Minto: *puff* Ichigo: KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Minto! You did that on purpose! Minto: I'm sorry, it was just my imagination! *heart* But nothing's going on over here; let's return to the pool. Ichigo: E? Go back? KYAA! Minto: What are you doing, Ichigo? Ichigo: I was caught on something... -Ouch...- ------------------------------- Business Meeting Day - 3 1: (This was a year ago..) -showing to another editor- 2: This is a new character. 3: What type of animal is this girl? 2: Which one? -*worry*- 3: This girl. 2: Ah, this one, yes? 2: Frog! It's a frog! *completely sure* 1: That's not right! -It's a mouse!- -There's more about this character on page 171.- -------------------------------- Ichigo: A person! Minto: You're Retasu's... What hurt you? Ichigo: Get a hold of yourself! Mean Girl: Her.. *cough cough* Retasu... *gagging* Ichigo: Retasu? Minto: Let's go, Ichigo! That girl... Retasu's in trouble! p. 123 Ichigo: I understand! *flash* To show my gratitute, I'll give full service nyan! p. 124 Minto: The pool! *turn* *SPLASH!* Ichigo: !! (What's this? Something...something is not right... I'm getting a very, very creepy feeling...) [This is kinda cool, as it plays on the idea that cats know when something isn't right.] (But I'll be okay...my comrade is with me...) Let's go, Minto! *splash!* *duck* p. 125 Ichigo and Minto: Ribbon... Minto: Mint Echo!! Ichigo: Strawberry Check! *HIT!* p. 126 *Blast!* Minto: We did it! Now, let's go find Retasu. Ichigo: Ah...yes, yes. Minto: She's not anywhere... Ichigo: Retasu! (What's this? I'm getting a super-creepy vibe...) p. 127 (Not like before.... It's a very, very creepy feeling!) *gurgle* *gasp* Minto: Ichigo! Behind you! *rushing water* (DAMMIT!) *grab* Ichigo: KYAAAAA! p. 128 *splash* (Pain... I can't breathe...) (This isn't like the Anima before... Completely different...) (Death isn't far away...) *gurgle* Minto: ICHIGO! *blast* *break away* p. 129 *Gasp!* *hover* Ichigo: N--no way... RETASU?!
