Alice to Zouroku

The weather's nice again today,

so water tastes yummy!

Are you full yet?

Yes, we're full!

Good morning.

Oh, morning.

Morning, Ichijo!

That's "Ichijo-san."

Go put that away.

Okay.

Ichijo, we're gonna ride on a train!

"Ichijo-san."

San!

I swear...

Harajuku Station

So many people!

Because it's a weekend.

Shall we take the subway?

Nah, she'll probably want to see the scenery.

Sana, let's buy our tickets.

What's a "ticket"?

You use it to ride a train.

First, push where it says "child."

Here?

Then push the button with the fare to your destination.

What's half of 550 yen?

275 yen!

Then, select 270 yen.

Why?

Uh, that's just how it works.

You put your ticket in. Then take it when it pops out.

Try it.

O-Okay.

I got it!

What is that?

A card that works as a ticket.

No fair! I want one that beeps, too!

You won't be riding often enough.

I want a beep one!

She's enjoying herself...

It's her first long trip.

Friends

Sorry to leave the rest to you.

Not at all.

This is part of my job.

Make sure you do as Ichijo-san says.

Okay.

Good luck with work, Zoroku!

See you later, then.

See you later.

What is this?!

It's called the ocean.

Ocean?

Yes.

Something smells.

That's dangerous, Sana-chan!

La, la, la, singing...

Done!

All right, very good.

You got everything correct!

That's excellent, Sana-chan.

Right?

If you keep up the pace,

you'll complete high school first-year math soon.

Factorization 1. Factor the following equations.

We've already reached the limit of what I can teach you,

so I'll have to talk to Naito.

Really? But isn't math easy?

Is it?

I do have a teaching license for elementary school,

but you've put me to shame.

Well, in math, the methods and answers are all defined.

Watering flowers is more, like...

The conditions aren't always what you'd expect, so it's harder.

Every day, you have to examine them and see their needs.

What you struggle with is word problems...

Also reading.

It would help if you could focus a bit longer.

But I hate things like that. They make me feel frazzled.

Frazzled?

I don't really understand it,

but I feel it right here.

I don't deal well with those things,

because I don't understand them.

That makes sense.

You had trouble transcribing kanji, too.

Next week, let's work a little harder on language arts.

Eh?

Huh? Huh?!

Let's get moving.

Then, social studies is up next!

We're studying more?

Since we're all the way in Yokohama,

Naito has made arrangements for us to visit a nearby factory.

Wow, Naito is very clever.

We're visiting a car factory today.

Wow!

Exclusively using seasonal flowers is a good idea.

If you want a natural look, we can use smaller flowers, like this.

Oh, beautiful!

Huh...

If you'll allow me to choose the flowers we use,

we can easily keep it within your budget.

That sounds great.

Doesn't it, Ko-kun?

Sure, it's up to you.

Come on... This is important.

Zoroku!

Whoa.

Are you done with work? That took a while!

Were you a good girl?

Yeah! We went to a car factory!

It was really cool! Everything is made by robots!

Is that so?

Did anything happen?

No, nothing in particular.

Well, good.

Error...

Chinatown

This is good!

Excuse me! I'll take thirty more of the pork buns!

No, not for gifts—

Uh, no, we don't...

Oh, you don't have that many made? Then...

Then give me however many you have!

All of them!

There she is.

O-Onee-sama!

Yonaga, you're late. Try not to wander away.

Y-You were the one who just disappeared!

And you bought all that...

I found these great pork buns.

Here, try one.

O-Onee-sama, we need to be careful with our money...

What are you talking about?

We saved it, all so we could eat till we dropped today.

We haven't nearly used it all yet!

B-B-But...

You're the one who said we should buy from many different places.

We even looked them up already,

but s-since you keep making stops, we haven't visited one!

Plans are no more than plans!

First, you have to enjoy it with all you've got!

Thank you.

Onee-sama, it's been a long time...

s-since the two of us went shopping like this.

I... I never thought we'd... get to do this again.

I know!

So we'll have fun today, Yonaga!

O-Okay!

Maps! Restaurants! Roads!

Yes!

O-Onee-sama, look out!

Onee-sama!

I'm sorr—

Sa-chan?

Stop!

They ran!

Operation 4-18.

After them.

Wait!

What's that? A chain?

No fair!

Why did we run away?

I don't know.

But we did...

Yeah.

So...

Let's run!

I won't let you get away.

Net!

Darn it...

Robot!

Don't think you can beat me at tag.

Motorcycle!

What is that?

A motorcycle?

Wait!

Why are you running away?!

Why are you chasing us?

I don't know! It just made me feel frazzled!

What?!

"It just made me feel frazzled," I said!

Hey, what's that?

Some kind of circus?

Incredible...

That's one amazing stuntman!

Those kids...

Why are you running away?

Because we don't want to see you, obviously!

At least figure that much out!

Wh-What do you mean? Why not?

You have to tell me, or I won't under—

Sa-chan!

Error.

Operation 13-7.

Summon beast.

Fenrir.

All three of you will be punished.

#51, operation 1-8.
