Don't miss the brightly shining light

That's always there beside you.

Then I'm sure the rest just depends on your perception.

You don't have to search for it—just notice that it's there!

atarimae no uragawa ni kakureteru yasashisa

There's a tenderness that lies hidden behind the most common things:

A light that showers our days in color!

Tiny Life kiseki no kakera de

Tiny Life: This world is constructed...

Tiny Days sekai wa dekiteru

Tiny Days: ...by fragments of miracles!

Things that seemed meaningless at one point

Fukiko?

Mornin~

Good morning.

So, my dad all of a sudden is like, "I want to go for a family drive"

and he's making a big scene and stuff...

I've gotta bail on today's plans, forgive me?

Sure, no problem. I understand.

Thanks a ton!

I'll be sure to make it up to you!

Oh, and I'll totally help you with English on Monday, so get your study on, okay?

Really? thanks! Well, see you latter.

I've got free time all of a sudden.

I don't feel like studying English, though.

I mean...

This Sunday has just gotten started.

Oh right, I forgot.

"Gou... rai?"

I'm sure it's a present from my dad congratulating me on getting into my school?

A toy?

What's this? How do you use it?

I am Gourai. I have now been activated.

What what?! Toys these days are incredible!

It tottaly just spoke!

M-master!

Wow... and this material is a lot softer than I expected.

Please stop that, Master.

"Master"? What's up with that? Sounds weird.

Then how should I address you?

I'm "Ao". Just call me "Ao."

I understand, Ao.

It sounds so real!

This is really great.

I wonder where my dad got this toy.

But still, I'm in high school now.

Dad's always treating me like a kid.

Well, I'll send him a thank you text.

Um, Ao?

Hmm? What is it?

Please assemble my armor components.

Armor...?

I would like you to remove these, assemble them, and attach them to my body.

Eh? That sounds like a chore.

I'm no good at that kind of stuff.

But without these parts...

It's fine though, you're cute like that!

Cute?

Yup yup!

"cute..."

Anyways, first thing we should do is charge you it seems.

Yes!

This is the charger, huh?

So, where do I plug this in?

My lower back.

Here huh?

F.A.Girl

Umm..

Hmm?

I would still like for you to attach my parts after all.

Ehh?

Assembling and equipping them is what makes us Frame Arms Girls.

"Frame Arms Girls"?

Gourai, so you're not a doll?

No. I am an AS-equipped robot.

"AS"?

It stands for Artifical Self.

I am installed with the intelligence of a 10-year-old human,

but in interacting with you, Master, I am able to learn new information.

What do you mean by "information"?

I belive it is called "emotion".

Emotion?

Yes.

Huh...

So, you really need to put that stuff on then?

Yes.

And that's all?

That is all.

No way around it then, I guess I'll give it a try.

I will leave it in your care, Ao.

These... just pop right out, right?

Stop.

Huh?

Please use nippers.

"Nippers"?

It is a tool.

Like this.

Ah, that kind of thing.

I think the building manager might have some.

So, you really want those parts that much?

Found it!

This, right?

Th-those are Kotobuki Nippers!

Huh? What's that?

They are legendary, said to be nippers of the highest quality.

Their edge is as keen as the finest Japanese steel,

and the slightest pressure is enough to slice though model parts.

Edges are cut smooth and flat, such that parts almost never turn white, as with normal nippers.

They were made by a master craftsman from the area known for its blades,

And their single-edged construction is the perfect balance of cutting edge and required tensile strength.

By having only a single sharp blade, the other end acts as a cutting board,

Meaning parts that are cut free are...

Stop!

Again?

Please remove parts in the order indicated by the instruction manual before assembling.

Oh, really?

Ao, That is No. 6.

Huh? It's 9, isin't it?

The line indicates the correct reading.

This is 9.

Whoa, close one.

Ao, stop.

What is it this time?

Please insert Part C9 before snapping those two together.

If you forget that, you will have to reassemble it.

But if you try to take it apart, you will run the risk of breaking it.

I see...

Ah!

I can't find it.

Well, that's okay.

It is not okay.

Huh? What's the problem? It was just a tiny part.

We should continue searching a little more.

Ehh...

Ao.

Something fell behind this object.

It's the photo album my grandma sent me!

Who are these people?

It's me when I was little with my dad and mom.

You live here with your parents?

Nah, no way.

My dad's working overseas and my mom went with him.

I'm attending highschool while living alone here.

I see. Hmm?

Umm...

What is this?

This is...

Ah, I'm crying there because I got stung by a bee.

Crying...

And this?

This... I'm cranky there because I dropped my ice cream, I think.

Cranky...

Then what about this?

Ehh... What is this.

I'm smiling though right?

Smiling...

Why are you smiling?

Ehh, I dunno. Don't remeber.

Then what sort of emotion does your expression indicate?

Alright, that's enough.

Why is that?

You're asking a lot of questions, and it's a pain.

Man Gourai, it's like you're...

Like...

Huh? Why does this feel like deja vu.

Wait, what?!

It's already night? So what's why I've been feeling hungry!

I'm gonna step out for a bit.

It seems it got caught in your clothing.

Inageya

Cheap, cheap.

Sweets, Tachikawa Iseya

Welcome!

Crying...

Cranky...

Smiling...
