[Ayu and Makoto talk together alone for the first time.]
[After a brief silence.] I know!
Makoto
What?
Do you want one? A taiyaki.
Makoto
I can?
It's a little cold, but if you want...
Makoto
[Makoto takes the taiyaki from Ayu and takes a bite] It's sweet.
You don't like sweet things?
Makoto
But it's good! [The two girls smile and laugh and Makoto takes a couple more bites; Yuichi comes back]
You'll get fat, you know.
[Yuichi asks Makoto to say a tounge twister. "Demon hunter" is "Mamono wo utsumono" in Japanese]
Makoto, can you say "Demon hunter" ten times fast?
Makoto
Eh, why?
Makoto
Demon hunter! Demon hunter! Demon hunt- [Suddenly stops] Aū, I bit my tongue.
[Yuichi is walking home from school and meets Makoto on the way.]
Makoto. What happened to the cold you caught?
Makoto
I'm better now, so I'm running errands. I'm off buying tofu!
Can you buy some yourself?
Makoto
Yes I can. I'm not a child!
You're a child no matter how one looks at you.
Makoto
I'm an adult!
Makoto
Yeah.
Then go buy me a porno magazine while you're at it.
Makoto
What kind of magazine is a porno magazine?
You don't know? It's a magazine aimed at adults, and it's really exciting to read. It really turns you on.
Makoto
Really?
Go up to the store manager and ask, "Can I have a pornographic magazine?" If there's more than one, get anything the store manager recommends.
Makoto
Okay. I can read it, too, right?
Makoto
Yes, I am an adult. [Cheerfully walks away]
All right, time to go home.
[Yuichi and Makoto are talking on a bridge, where underneath is a busy street. Makoto is holding the cat she found earlier over the edge]
What are you going to do about that cat? It'd be nice if we take it home, but Nayuki would be...
Makoto
Why bother. I had my pork bun, so I don't need it anymore.
How could you say that? You don't think it's cute when it's taken such a liking to you?
Makoto
All animals get thrown away when they are no longer wanted. You don't think so?
Well, there are people who think that way, too, but...
Makoto
We should send it back to the wild before it gets domesticated and learns what peace is.
Return to the wild? [Makoto, completely unfazed, drops the cat into oncoming traffic, but it survives by landing on a truck]
Makoto
There it goes.
[Yelling] What are you doing?
Makoto
Wh-Why are you angry?
How could you be calm after doing that? It could end up who knows where and die!
Makoto
It'll manage somehow! The truck driver might take care of it.
Why are you so irresponsible?!
Makoto
What responsibilities do I have?! It's the cat that followed me! [Yuichi pulls back to slap her, and Makoto winces, anticipating the hit; Yuichi stops himself and lowers his hand]
Makoto
Aū. [Makoto starts to cry]
You can't take back what you did even if you cry.
Makoto
Yuichi, you jerk! [Makoto runs away]
Hey, Makoto! [He waits, watching her go]
[Makoto comes into Yuichi's room without knocking.]
Just get out. I'm redoing the homework you shredded to pieces.
Makoto
Aū, If you're going to say that, then forget it. I was planning on showing you a good thing.
If it's you naked, I've already seen it.
Makoto
[Shocked] Eh? Not me naked!
