Kyu,

would you stop by and see Grandpa on your way home today?

Yeah. Sure thing.

Thank you.

Guesthouse Inn Ishimochi

Kyusho-kun! Your bag, your bag!

Here.

Thank You for Choosing Us Kinme Cleaning

Thanks.

Wow, it's so clean now!

Come on, Kyu. Say thank you.

Thank you very much.

Not at all. Thank you very much for choosing Kinme Cleaning.

Episode 11 To Help This Little Guy Out

So the lead character wears glasses and is super quiet so I thought,

hey, is that me?

He's lost it.

Huh? Kyu, am I loud?

Today, I want to talk to you about inflected forms.

For example, the modern "omowanai" turns into "omowazu,"

"omoimashita" becomes "omoikeri," "omou" becomes "omofu," and "omou toki"...

Whoa.

He's fast.

Yo, Kyu.

You really should join the track club.

It's already... second year... Probably too late.

Nah, it would be fine.

Seriously, give it some thought. We don't have a middle-distance runner right now.

Yeah, but... I still have to help at home.

I figured you'd say something like that.

Maybe I'll just have to run.

Okay, see ya later!

Yeah!

Kyu-kun, why are you so spaced out recently? Not sleeping?

Kyu's always out of orbit somewhere.

Right?

But you gotta get enough sleep, man.

Yeah, I wonder.

Mm-hmm.

I'm asleep five seconds after I hit the pillow!

Listen up. It's normal to want to find the easiest way to solve a math equation,

but once you realize there's this other method,

things start to get interesting.

All right, so let's see you use this formula to determine the value.

Sato-san?

I'm so sorry!

Um, would you mind if we slept in the same room tonight?

I'm sorry. Did I wake you?

Just now in the bath,

I started wondering about what could have caused me to be so afraid of thunder.

Okay, that's about all we have time for today.

Be sure to review this at home, everyone.

Man, I didn't catch a single word in math.

Ishimochi? Wakasagi?

Huh?

Are you boys getting enough rest? You're sleeping in class a lot recently.

Ah, whoops.

Yeah, sorry.

Oh boy. Try to stay awake.

Oh, that's so clean!

A clean bag says a lot about a person.

Thank you.

On the other hand...

Oops.

Wakasagi, your bag looks like trash.

Yeah. I was actually planning to wash it this week.

Huh? Aren't you getting off, Kyu-kun?

What?

Oh. Sorry.

I gotta go see my grandpa.

Gotcha.

See ya.

Yeah. See you tomorrow.

The doors of the train on track two are closing. Please stand clear.

I might as well go up to the top while I'm here.

Izukai Shrine

The climb is always a pain, though.

At least it's easier now than when I was a kid.

Oh, what?

Kinme-san? What are you doing here?

What are you doing here, Kyusho-kun?

Well, I did some cleaning and I thought I'd visit the shrine while I'm at it.

Cleaning?

Um, my grandpa's grave is down below.

Oh, so you were cleaning the grave.

Mom usually takes care of it, but she asked me to come today.

Is that so?

It's so responsible of you to pay respect to your ancestors.

Yeah, but it's no exaggeration to say

I wouldn't be here without my grandpa and family.

That's such a nice way to see it.

Kyusho-kun, that's one reason I think I like you so much.

Um, Kinme-san, I...

Hmm?

I've been wondering about something, and...

Huh? What? Kyusho-kun?

Unfortunately, I am a little backed up at the moment,

so I'm afraid it will take one day longer than usual.

Is that still all right with you?

Yes, that's fine.

Thank you very much. As always, you can count on Kinme!

I'll see you then.

All right!

Hello, Kinme-oneesan!

Oh, hello. Come on in.

Hello. Looks like you're keeping busy.

Yes, I sure am.

Well, I'm sorry to bother you, then,

but may I still ask you to clean these for me?

Oh, of course! Thank you very much.

There.

Are you taking more pictures for social media?

Yes!

Mother, I'd like to take some more pictures before I go home.

Oh my.

Is that all right? It's such a busy time for you.

I will not get in her way one bit!

Yes, it's fine with me.

I see. Well, thank you very much.

Nairo, do not cause her any trouble at all.

Okay!

Don't you think we've taken enough of this kind of picture?

Oh, definitely not!

We need newer pictures of you working to keep appearing on the timeline!

I guess that's how it works.

Yes! But videos actually get more attention than pictures do.

See, like this one.

The number of views is... Ten thousand?!

Here is Kinme-san, the owner of Kinme Cleaning, treating a stain on a customer's garment! She works very carefully, applying a series of detergents to safely remove the stain.

Yes. I'm the same way,

but everyone seems to be really interested in your stain-removing steam sprayer!

So I would love to take another video of you removing stains today.

Hmm. But I've already pretty much finished stain treatment for the day.

Oh? What is that over there? There's a square on the floor.

Huh? A square?

Oh, you mean that.

Is it some kind of door?

Yes, probably.

You mean you've never opened it?

No. I tried to open it once soon after I started here,
