"Kodomo no Omocha"
The rumor that I love you is true. Yes it is.
Whether you're awake or asleep…
You can't avoid it,
…so don't worry about it.
If I sneak into your heart by ridding you of that other love…
…is that a sin?
At sunset, when the children go home,
today's incident is burning love!
You can be sure of it!
7 O'Clock News!
Please, our relationship…
Ah, don't condemn me for a true kiss…
This town without fire…
Let's ignite it with our love!
Ah, don't live carelessly!
That's asking for too much!
I'm Kurata Sana, a TV personality and 6th grader--
Right, right, we don't have time for that today! This is awful!
Go to last week's VTR, and start!
Rei…
A visitor?
Asako-san…!
Asako-san was here!? Asako-san came to see you, Rei-kun!?
She came inside the house!? So, what is it with her!?
No! No! Rei-kun, you're my boyfriend, after all!
"Tweet-tweet, Love Flies Away"
Calm… down… you're disgracing yourself…
Mama, why…
—did you let Asako-san…
—in the house!?
Huh?
Silence…
Sana, do you think that your love for Sagami-kun is the real thing?
You're not listening to me, are you?
I-I am listening to you! And my love for Rei-kun is the real thing!
Rei-kun is my pimp and my boyfriend!
S-Sana-chan…
Isn't that right, Rei-kun?
Do not… ignore… your mother…
Cripes! How come you're butting in!?
I was talking to Rei-kun!
They ran away on me while I was talking…
"It remains unresolved…"
What is this!? What's going on!? What's going on, I said!
Grumble, grumble, grumble, grumble…
S-Sana-chan?
What's the matter?
Rei-kun has been running away from me for some reason ever since…
He's not answering his Burutcha at all, either…
I-I-I b-b-brought y-y-you s-s-some t-t-tea…
Thank you…
S-sorry…
Why don't you take your Burutcha out of your pocket?
No, I'm all right…
Sagami-kun, that's your way of showing consideration for Sana, huh?
Sana-chan really is an important little girl to me…
Which is why… which is why I don't want to hurt her in any way…
Thank you… I'm sure she will come to realize that any time now, too…
Begging your pardon, but Sensei, please come to a realization yourself, and fast!
Listen to me, your deadline is in one hour!
If your manuscript is late this time, I'll have to face the editor--!
I speak, and this is what happens…
Why won't the sensei give me her manuscripts on time? Is it me--?
Ciao!
Sensei! Are you trying to make a fool of me!?
Sensei! Please, wait up! Sensei!
Ah, what on earth are those two thinking!?
♪ I don't get it! It's bothering me! I don't know what's going on! ♪
♪ It's bothering me that under I don't stand! ♪
♪ You don't get it, I don't get it! ♪
♪ Who does get it? I don't know! ♪
? Paipo-popaipo-pankuracho! ?
Sana-chan is stranger than usual today…
Strange, like she's been possessed by something…
Excuse me!
Yes?
Is Sana-chan here?
Well, Sana-chan is sort of…
…busy right now, being strange…
Can't I see her?
It's just…
Right now isn't…
I don't get it any of it!
Ah, it's Sana-chan!
Yay! An actual autograph from Sana-chan!
I always see you on TV!
How cute!
(For the moment, Sana forgets about her love troubles and calms down-)
So, what grade are you in?
Second grade…
Oh, yeah? What's your name?
Huh? Aono!
What? Tsuyoshi-kun, you know her?
She's my sister…
Oh, is that right?
Whoa, really?
I'm his sister…
Wow, so you have a sister, Tsuyoshi-kun? How nice, how nice, how nice!
Let me have one too, okay, okay, okay?
I've only got the one…
It's Akito!
Yo, squirt!
Aono! You mustn't go near Akito…
There's no telling what he will do to you…
No! Let me go, Big Brother! No!
Let me go, I said, Big Brother!
The strap! The strap! The strap is going to break!
That was mean! Don't pull on my handbag…
S-sorry…
Aono-chan, what do you have in your handbag?
An egg!
An egg?
You know what? When you make an egg warm, it turns into a chick… Did you know that?
That's why Aono is keeping it warm…
Say, is it actually some special egg that a chick will hatch from?
Uh-uh, it's the regular kind they sell at the supermarket,
in packs of six, for ¥158…
That's stupid, isn't it?
Hayama?
Go on and eat it, right away…
There's no way that thing is going to turn into a chick…
Is that right? Well, I bet you can't wait for it to become a chick, huh?
Mm-hmm!
"To Aono-chan, Kurata Sana"
Good luck with your work!
Mm-hmm, thank you!
Ooh, she's so cute, so cute, so cute!
I know…!
I snuck out at lunch recess and bought it…
Wow, how cute…
Sana-chan, is that…?
You think it would be okay if I secretly switched it with Aono-chan's egg?
Mm-hmm, I'm sure Aono will be thrilled…
Don't do it…
Not you again…
Think about it a little harder, dimwit…
"Dimwit"!?
If you do something pointless like that, she's going to believe the mistaken notion
that a regular egg will hatch if you warm it up…
When she gets older, and embarrasses herself by telling others about it,
it's going to be your fault, you…
…dimwitted dimwit-man…
Dimwitted dimwit-man!?
What's the big idea, you dumb-dumb-dummy-man!
The truth isn't always necessarily the best thing, you know!
You know! You know! You know! You know!
There was something that Mama said to me this one time!
Sana…
Reality, Sana, is something you'll have to know about,
whether you want to or not, when you grow up… So…
So for now, you don't have to know about it…
Yes, you should just dream along… That's what children should do…
You get it, Hayama!?
No, I don't…
Why, you…! You three-story reinforced-concrete hardhead!
Ah, Sana-chan!
What did you need from Aono?
U-um…
Ah! There are people watching us on TV!
Huh? Where? Where?
Aono doesn't know what you mean…
Which brings us to your egg, Aono-chan!
It's been born!
Look! It happened, Sana-chan!
It happened all right, Aono-chan! That was your egg!
It's so cute! Aono-chan's chick!
Good for you, Aono-chan!
This is no time to be loafing around!
"Zenjiro's "Child's Toy""
Calligraphy Special!!
"Calligraphy Competition" Okay now, everybody, go ahead and write like crazy!
"Calligraphy Competition" Write! Write! Write! Write! Write! Write!
Heh, it really was a good thing I gave her that chick.
I've calmed down
and completely forgotten about whatever it was that was bothering me.
Ah, I just remembered…
Asako-san at my house…!
It's bothering me! It's bothering me!
Done writing?
Sana has to leave a little early…
See ya…
"It's bothering me"
I wond-uh if something's bothering her…
"It's bothering me" That is what it says…
This week, Zenjiro-chan…
What sloppy handwriting!
It's bothering me! It's bothering me! Asako-san!
It's bothering me! It's bothering me! Rei-kun running away!
Rei-kun!
S-Sana-chan?
You're not running away from me any longer!
Rei-kun, what were you doing yesterday? Why did Asako-san come over?
S-Sana-chan…
Answer me, would you?
Rei-kun, you said you wouldn't have anything to do with Asako-san, right?
Right? Right?
So then, why? Rei-kun, you're my boyfriend!
Welcome back, Sana…
Mama! Don't interfere!
I was waiting, thinking you'd figure it out for yourself,
but I guess it's no use…
W-what are you talking about?
What's between you and Sagami-kun, quite frankly, is not love!
You probably take it to be love, but that is by no means the case with Sagami-kun…
S-Sensei…!
You may have the appearance of an adult, but you are still a child…
Sagami-kun is an adult, and you cannot be the object of his affection…
W-what are you saying? Rei-kun is my boyfriend, and my… my…
Pimp?
Do you even know what "pimp" really means?
Among the general public, it's something to be ashamed of…
And about that allowance that you give him…
After Sagami-kun gets it, he brings it to me…
Sagami-kun gets his wages from me, after all…
I've been depositing the money you've been giving him under your name…
It's not true… It's not true…
It's not true…
It's not true, right? Rei-kun, say it isn't true! Rei-kun!
Is it true…?
Then, it is…
Him, a boyfriend? He's just pretending, you know…
You were…
You were just pretending, after all!?
I was the only one who misunderstood…?
Sana-chan, that's not…
That's right! You misunderstood! Ah, how embarrassing!
You're just a simple child! Just like with this children's lunch!
Sensei, that was cruel!
What's so wrong about telling her the truth?
How can you laugh at a child about being a child!?
S-Sana-chan!
No… No…!
No!
Rei-kun is my boyfriend and my pimp…
I'm feeling so good right now, I'm going to be especially generous!
Rei-kun, you're my boyfriend, after all!
I'm so… I'm so… terribly embarrassed!
¥206…
That's too much… Charge me less…
Thank you…
I didn't get a good look…
…but there can only be one girl with legs that fast.
Hey!
Hayama…
W-what's the matter?
T-there's something I…
…I'm terribly embarrassed about…
I can't ever…
I can't ever return home again…
You can't go home? If you can't go home, what will you do?
Find some faraway, unknown city…
"The Floral Path of Enka"
♪ Sana… Sana… will start again… will start again from Square One… ♪
What are you talking about?
It turns out that Rei-kun was just treating me like a child…
Ha, didn't I tell you so? You finally caught on, huh?
He's infuriating, isn't he?
I'm not angry at him…
I'm just ashamed of myself…
Ah, that chick…!
It's just like with that chick… Aono-chan's egg wouldn't have hatched…
It's a chick that allows her to dream a lie…
Rei-kun also gave me a chick… Is that how this is?
I wonder if Aono-chan will be this embarrassed when she realizes her mistake…
Yes, she will…
That's why I told you not to give her that chick…
And if you had never met Sunglasses-san,
you wouldn't have had to go through this…
No way!
I may not like how embarrassed I feel right now, but, but, but…
I couldn't stand never having met Rei-kun even more!
Is that right?
That's right! Mm-hmm, I'm sure of it! That's right!
And Aono-chan would mu-ch rather have met her chick and be embarrassed about it,
than to never have seen it at all!
Nope…
I think it'd be better for her if she didn't have to go through the trouble
she'll get from ever having seen it…
You really do say the exact opposite of everything I do, huh?
You're right…
—It's positively… —It's positively…
…--sickening… …--comical…
It's positively…
…--sickening! …--comical!
—Sickening! —Comical!
—Sickening!! —Comical!!
These two are diametric opposites…
You want to go at it!?
You're such a brat when it comes to this, you dimwit…
Brat…!?
Mm-hmm… Let's go home already… I'm hungry…
No way!
I'm so embarrassed, I can't go home!
You don't say… Well, suit yourself…
H-hey…
He-y!
Hey! Hey! Hey…!
He really did head home…
What a cold fellow…
Maybe I really should find a faraway city…
Bobbing along on the waves… The Mariana Trench Traveler's Inn…
In any event, I can't go back home…
Ah, it's too humiliating!
You know, you've always been liked by everybody…
I don't think you need to be so concerned about your disgrace…
I mean, just between you and me,
I get pretty embarrassed when I think about the way I was a little while ago…
Oh, is that so? Yeah… Sure you would be…
You were a lot more extreme than me, huh?
You were the scum of the class, after all…
Even so…
Even so, you stood by me and listened to what I had to say,
despite the way I was, right?
N-now that you mention it…
Isn't that just the way relationships between people work, though?
Take Sunglasses-san… It's not as though he hates you or anything, right?
Right?
Mm-hmm…
That's Mama's car… the special remote control version…
"Daughter… The streets are dangerous at night…
Come home soon… Mother a-nd Rei…"
Why don't you go home?
Yeah…
Thanks, Hayama… If I hadn't run into you,
I might have run off to some far away city and ruined my life…
Hey!
Thanks, I said!
Hey!
I said thanks!
You jerk!
I'm thanking you here!
Shut up! I heard you!
Say…
What?
Why did you kiss me?
I just can't put it out of my head, you know?
I don't hate you, that's why…
What does that mean!? Do you kiss everyone you don't hate!?
Do you hate this guy?
Not especially…
Fine!
If you don't hate him, then give him a kiss!
Cut it out, you dumbass!
Stop acting so ridiculous and get yourself home!
Ha! You don't have to tell me! I'm going home!
What's his deal!?
Still, he did genuinely listen to what I had to say…
I guess even he has a few good points…
But only a few…
Although, all good people have their bad points,
and all bad people have their good points…
Well, I guess there are all sorts of people…
"Welcome back, Sana"
Welcome back…
I-I'm home…
Hurry and go eat your dinner…
Shimura-san knocked herself out making Thai-style eggplant-and-shrimp curry…
It would be a shame if you didn't have some…
Rei-kun…?
Welcome home…
Rei-kun, do you like Asako-san?
Mm-hmm…
"Back in high school"
I haven't moved on…
—My face always used to appear in your eyes. —In my mind, I haven't changed at all since high school…
—My face always used to appear in your eyes. —It's okay…
—My face always used to appear in your eyes. —You can get back with Asako-san…
—Feeling lonely during the long nights, —I understand what your feelings are, Rei-kun…
—the palms of your large hands —I gave a chick to Aono-chan, myself…
—were so gentle. —A chick?
—I can't yet be the rose, —The time when I can dream, thanks to you, Rei-kun, is now over…
—shining brighter than anyone else. —I'm a little bit sad about that…
—shining brighter than anyone else. —But only a little bit, so I'll be all right…
—shining brighter than anyone else. —Oh, keep working as my manager the way you've been doing up to now…
Sana-chan…
—Good-bye love, I hope you —I'll be all right, so…
—Good-bye love, I hope you —H-huh…?
—at least believe that my love was real. —Sana-chan…
—at least believe that my love was real. —That's weird of me, huh? I'm all right…
—Good-bye love, surely someday, —I'm all right, so why am I crying…?
I'm sure I'll be able to walk alone,
but until that day, but until that day, stay by my side.
Good-bye love, I hope you
—at least believe that my love was real. —Mama said that this wasn't genuine love…
—Good-bye love, it will be a long time —…but I do think that Rei-kun was my first love.
—before my dream comes true, —I'd like to think that these feelings of mine are the real thing.
so just a little while longer,
—just a little while longer, stay by my side. —And as long as I think so, it's okay to go on believing it, right?
That's okay, right?
"Back against the wall."
That's what you say about times like these.
In dire straits,
I've been waiting for an answer.
My confessions are worked out long in advance,
to always go along with the scenario.
My heart may be settled, but my mind is in a…
…panic!!
When my friends invite me by, suddenly,
he's there.
And our usual classroom…
…quick-changes into a merry-go-round…
…for two.
Although I've said nothing but wisecracks…
…up to now, just for today,
I'm going to be honest and sincere,
so BOY, take a look my way!

Hoy! In Sana-chan's next adventures…
If I keep gnashing around like this, I'm going to become a gnat!
I wish I hadn't said that…
Huh? Father Hayama, nice to see you again…
But no sooner does it happen than he collapses!
No, no! Father Hayama, don't die!
Next time on Kodomo no Omocha,
Episode 11of the Uneasy Night of Impressions and Departures Saga--
"Father, You Are His Father"
Father, you are his father! Hayama, hang in there!
I don't get all of this, but I'm concerned…
