YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of This World

There, there... It'll be okay, kiddo.

What a crybaby...

Takuya, you need to grow up to be a big, strong boy!

Don't scare him like that.

You're such a good boy, Takuya...

My beautiful little baby...

"Episode 1"

Some famous doctor once said that dreams are manifestations of repressed desires.

If that's true, then what does a dream of my dead parents mean?

Blue skies and white... panties?

You're skipping class again?

Would you stand up?

Maybe, if you help me get these pants off.

That would make something else stand up, wouldn't it?

You get it.

You're a terrible student.

You say that,

but a grown-up like you doesn't freak out over it, huh?

I heard about your dad. I'm sorry.

I wish there was something I could say...

Well, it's easier than just having him stay missing forever.

At least I have an answer.

I see.

Dying in a cave-in during his research was more or less how I expected him to go.

Is that all you came to say?

No, I've got a problem I want your help with.

And I've got a different kind of problem...

No.

Teenage boys' problems can be very serious.

A transfer student is coming.

Now? Right before summer break?

Well, she has her reasons.

And I want you to look after her.

No. Why should I?

That's a shame! She's really cute, too...

Then I'll do it gladly!

I thought you'd say that.

Arima-sama, please come to the Historical Research Department.

Boss!

Why did you quit the kendo team?

Leave me alone, Yuki.

I've got bigger problems now.

That's right. You just got called on the intercom.

Could it be over that one thing? Or maybe that other thing...

I was so sure they'd never find that out, though!

It's worrying how many possibilities there are.

Come on, join the kendo team again!

I only did kendo because my dad told me to.

And now he's gone.

So I'm done with it.

But you're in more than one club too, aren't you?

That's right. I'm in the historical research club.

You're after Mio, aren't you?

I know you've got a crush on her.

Go make her yours.

Make her mine...?

Lately there's been that curse thing and the lightning strikes.

She and I have been going around looking into it.

I'm having a great time, honestly!

She loves that paranormal stuff.

That's right!

Wait, boss. You sure know a lot about Shimazu-san.

Don't tell me...

No way in hell do I want to date that ice queen.

Yeah, that's right!

But you know, Shimazu-san's nice to everybody else,

but she's really mean to you.

Shimazu-san!

Hey.

Milady.

Stop calling me that, please.

Then how about "Mio-chan, the school idol!"

Why do you make me so mad?

Not sure.

That time of the month?

How crude!

--What time of the month did you think I meant? --Listening to the two of them talk takes years off your life.

Yuki-kun, let's go!

O-Of course!

Have a nice day, boss!

What? They called me to an empty room?

You may enter.

It's me, Arima.

Excuse me.

What?

Ayumi-san...

Oh? Takuya-kun, what are you doing here?

Well, um...

They called me on the intercom.

What? Did you do something again?

No, I haven't done anything lately.

Aww... You know, it makes it hard for me as your mother when you act that way.

They were calling for me, not you.

About Geotechnics' construction project.

I heard it was having a lot of issues.

Yeah. Weird things keep happening.

I need to go do an inspection right after this.

You're heading to the coast, too?

Yeah.

I don't want to be the kind of boss who just sits where it's safe

and tells other people what to do.

It's good to see you again, Ryuzoji-sensei.

It's been a long time, Ayumi-kun.

I'm glad I caught the two of you together.

I want to talk about Kodai... No, about Dr. Arima.

About my dad?

I worked alongside Dr. Arima in his research for years.

If you'll allow it, I'd like to carry on his work.

I'm sure he'd be happy to hear that.

It's the best thing I can do to remember him.

I'd like you send his research notes to my house.

Of course, I'll pay the costs.

I'll have arrangements made immediately.

I do have a question.

Is there anything Dr. Arima gave you to keep, specifically?

No, I can't think of anything.

Me either.

What sort of thing are you thinking of?

Some sort of archaeological relic.

Relic?

Takuya.

Mitsuki-san!

It's been so long!

Should I call you "Arima-kun" now?

Just call me Takuya.

It really has been forever.

I quit my job as a part-time lecturer here.

Don't tell me it's because of that?

No!

I'm just a lot busier in my job as Ryuzoji-sensei's secretary.

I see.

I heard about your father.

I thought you'd be more depressed.

And if I was?

I'd make you feel better again.

Hang in there.

You too.

It's clear what the decision is for me.

Bye.

Hi there.

What are you thoughts on Geotech's construction project?

Oh...

It sucks I can't go to the beach over summer vacation!

Give back our summer!

Give back our girls in swimsuits!

Thanks.

That was perfect.

I'm home.

What's this?

This size... This weight...

It's gotta be!

An adult...

Ahem, an artistic video of girls posing!

Well done, Yuki!

What is this?

Hello?

Hello?

What was that about?

Shimazu-san, let's go home.

Just a little longer.

This flower again...

And now, a special report on Sakaimachi.

"More Accidents. More questions about management." We go live to Kaori Asakura at the scene!

--I'm here at the coastal construction site. --Halt the construction!

-Halt the construction!

--That's the girl I just saw. --Halt the construction!

--The demonstrations calling for an end to the construction --Listen to local voices!

--are likely to only get more fierce from here. --Listen to local voices!

It sucks I can't go to the beach over summer vacation!

Give back our summer!

--Give back our girls in swimsuits! --Seriously?

Look! That's Ayumi Arima, the manager of the construction project.

"Geotechnics Coastal Construction Project" Look! That's Ayumi Arima, the manager of the construction project.

--Geotechnics is working to identify the cause of the accidents... --Huh? The clouds...

What is that?

Look! It's glowing!

--This is unbelievable! Lightning has just struck the area! --Somebody get an ambulance!

--This is unbelievable! Lightning has just struck the area! --We told you this would happen!

Run!

Ayumi-san!

It's dangerous here! Please don't get any closer!

You there! No pushing!
