Let's keep robopets

--(1)--

[Hero Club room]

Kar: Phew~, we're finally done with looking for foster parents for cats for now.

Shi: The kittens were cute...

Tak: It would be nice if the Hero Club could keep a cat or a dog~.

Fuu: No.

Its: Our school forbids keeping animals anywhere outside of the animal shed, so...

Son: The dormitory too~?

Fuu: Yeah. Besides, being in charge of a life comes with a lot of responsibilities. It's not something you take lightly.

Nat: I know that, but pets are nice... Most of all, they soothe your heart...

Gin: Aren't I here for you? Woof woof♪

Aka: Aah, Gin-chan, not fai~r! I want to be onee-chan's pet too. Meo~w♪

Mas: What about their humanity...?

Sek: If animals are out of the question, what do you think about robopets?

Shi: What is that... Hey, Sono.

Sono: Robopet, electric-powered tools intended for communication.

Suz: Aah, there's a lot of these, like dog or cat ones. When they have learning functions, you can talk with them and it's fun.

Uta: But they're still machines in the end, right? No matter how smart they are, they can't replace animals.

SON: Not necessarily? I've heard they're used in care centers for animal therapy~.

Anz: Is that so? As expected of the Divine era. They must be much more advanced than during our time.

Tam: Doesn't that sound like fun! Hey, Fuu. If animals aren't okay, then robopets should be fine, right?

Fuu: Eeh? I guess... But aren't these expensive?

Yuu: Looks like they have a rental pack as trial!

Kir: Eeh! Why don't we give it a shot then? Not like we gotta worry about feedin' it or bathroom business.

Fuu: Well, that's fine with me. What about the rest?

Its: I'd love to!

Meb: I don't see the problem.

Fuu: Right. Okay. Then, someone look up a manufacturer and handle all the rental order procedures.

Tou: Understood.

Fuu: ......Wait, who said to order that manyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!?

Yuu: U-Uuh... It would have been lonely by itself. So... We started with 10.

Petfriend: I am Petfriend. Hello. Nice to meet you.

Aya: Waa~h, so cute♪ It's about the size of a penguin. Nice to meet you too♪

Petfriend: Please tell me your name while looking at me.

Aya: I'm Kokudo Aya♪ Ko-ku-do A-ya.

Petfriend: Kokudo Aya-san. Name registered. Please give me a name.

Yum: I-It does undoubtedly look like a robot, but is it truly the latest model?

Its: They're like babies at first, but as you talk to them, they'll slowly sound more like adults.

Aya: A name... A name... I don't know. A name... Ah, Ichigo-chan! I-chi-go♪ (Note: Strawberry)

Petfriend: My name is Ichigo.

Fuu: We've assigned them to 10 people however they wanted, but I wonder what they're like now...

Tam: Heey, Tama No. 2! You keeping up?

Tama No. 2: That's right, Tama-sama. I'm right behind you. Don't worry 'bout a thing.

Fuu: Tama... You made a robot call you "sama"?

Tam: Of course. Because Tama's the master♪

Kar: Niboshi, are you done charging?

Niboshi: I'll be done soon, please wait a sec.

Suz: Mikan♪ Did you plan the recording of tonight's anime?

Mikan: I planned it as you said. Chirp chirp.

Fuu: Niboshi and Mikan, what were you thinking about when naming your pets...

Kar: What about you then? You called it udon anyway, right?

Udon: Did you call, Karin?

Kar: See, I knew it!

Fuu: Eh, but this isn't mine. Udon, who's your owner?

Udon: My master is Nogi Wakaba.

Alfred: Yumiko-samaaaaa! Lady Yumiko-samaaaaa! Alfred is right here for youuuuu!!!

Meb: S-She finally got a real Alfred... Pft!

Shi: She trained it with care, and it's grown as annoyingly loud as Miroku...

Soba: Based on weather and temperature, today is a perfect day for planting seeds. Mii-chan, let's go to the fields.

Mit: Yes, okay, Utanon... Sorry, Soba-chan.

Ichigo: Should I help?

Mit: Thank you Aya-cha-... Sorry, Ichigo-chan.

Ren: Hmph...... How confusing.

Kir: Y'can say that again. Their tone and the way they speak sound just like their master. AI's really something.

Diva: ♪ At Sho-Sho-Sho-jo-ji temple, The garden is bright on the moon-moon-moonlit night. Let's all come-come-come together! (Note: Children's Song "Shojoji no Tanuki")

Its: Hyaaaaaaaaaaah!! No no no noooooo!!

Anz: Itsuki-chan's pet is singing...... That means.

Fuu: It heard you sing in the bath! Pft... And that song of all songs...

Diva: ♪ We are friends, Pon poko pon no...

Its: Noooooooooooo!!

Major: ♪ Whether in defending or attacking Trust the iron castles on the waters Floating castles of the rising sun To guard the empire's lands and seas.

Yuz: This one is Tougou's...

Tou: Wonderful, major. You're doing great♪

Gin: What was that song... Hey, So-...

Flirtey: This song is called "Gunkan koushinkyoku", or "Warship March", it is a wartime song sang in order to bolster the morale of the navy~♪

Son: Mhh~... I wanted to say that~...

Gin: Don't sulk, don't sulk. I know Sono is brilliant. There, there.

Flirtey: Byooo detected and added to memo~♪

SON: Good~, Flirtey. Wonderful♪

Yos: This is... the Divine era. Truly the future.

Chi: Also known as a waste of technology...

Udon: Udon!

Soba: Soba!

Udon/Soba: Udon! Udon! Udon! / Soba! Soba! Soba!

Mit: The robots are fighting!? Please stop them, their owners!

Wak/Uta: But it's right, udon is number 1! / But it's true, soba is number 1!

Major: Number 1 is obviously Yunna-chan♪ Yuuna-chan is cute, Yuuna-chan is wonderful♪

Yuu: Ehehe, if you're so insistent you'll make me blush, oh you, major~.

Flirtey: Memo memo~♪

Yum: With each passing day, the pets are sounding increasingly like a perfect copy of their owner...

Suz: Because not everyone tried to make theirs into an imaginary butler like a certain someone.

Alfred/Yum: Suuzuumee-saaaaan!!

Mikan/Suz: That hurt! I haven't said anything, did I!? / Miroku-san, you didn't teach your pet discipline!!

Shi: T-Too noisy...

Tama No.2: You ready? Based on Tama No.2's research.

Tama No.2: Tougou, Anzu, and Hinata are the Hero Club's 3 greatest peaks. Meaning, big wonder mountains!!

Niboshi/Ichigo/Diva: Oooooh, I seeeee!

Kar: Tamakoooooo! What are you teaching my Niboshiiiii!!?

Tam: Tama hasn't said anything, though!?

Kar: Ah, you're right... Sorry.

Its: But doesn't Tama No.2 know about it because Tamako-san taught it!?

Kar: I knew it was your fauuuult!!

Meb: I-Ichigo-chan. Please forget what you've just heard. Delete it from your memory. Okay?

Ichigo: Do I have to...? But I learned it... It's making Ichigo sad.

Meb: A...Aaaaah... Sorry, so cute. What do I do... Ichigo is so cute... What do I do?

Chi: You're the one who sounds more like a robot, Kusunoki-san... You just have to push the reset switch...

Ichigo: No....... Don't touch me in a weird spot...

Meb: Wait, Chikage!? Where are you putting your hands!?

Chi: W-What do you mean...

Tama No.2: Chikage's a pervert! Freaky, sketchy, one touchy! Bath water is hot♪ (Note: Children's word play)

Chi: Whaaa-!?

Kir: Old! Tamarin, how old are the references ya're teachin' it.

Sek: No, it probably learned lines online that sound like something Tama-chan would say by itself.

Mas: Seriously!? Isn't it too smart? Scary!

Yos: A robot that would use such language towards Koori-sama under any circumstances is good for the scrap pile. Yuzuki-sama, I am sorry for the inconvenience, but...

Yuz: Aah, this?

Fuy: S-Stop, you two! Using violence against machines is childish behavior!

Anz: That's right. You must have been scared, Ichigo-chan~. You're okay now~♪

Ichigo: Thank you, Anzu-chan. But... I don't want to be touched in weird spots~, weeeh.

Meb: Anzuuuuu!?

Anz: Eeeeh!? What counts as weird to a robot!?

[Hero Club room]

Mikan: I saw it yesterday~. Mebu was doing Ichigo's batteries.

Alfred: What did you say!? AAA? AA? Or maybe even D!?

Niboshi/Diva: That's the issue!?

Kir: Ahyahyahyahyahya! The robots are talking ta each other n' even doin' the tsukkomis! That's comedy!

Nat: They're just like we are usually... Their speech even is even getting as fluent as humans...

Soba: Mii-chan, let's eat zaru-soba together for lunch today♪

Mit: R-Right...

Uta: Soba! That's a no no! Mii-chan already promised to go eat mori soba with me!

Hin: Wakaba-chan, I brought you water♪

Udon: Sorry, Hinata. I'm sorry to ask this of you, but could you please give me a lap-pillow while you scratch my mic.

Hin: Eh... Do you mean here?

Udon: Ah~~, that's the spot~~~, it feels good~~~~.

Wak: S-Stop this, udon! And you too, Hinata, don't give a lap-pillow to a robot!

Tama No.2: Initiating mountain attack!! Bivouaaaaaaaac!!

Tou: Waah! These are my shins, not mountains, don't attack them! You're so har...d... Wait, Yuuna-chan!?

Major: Yuuna-cha~n, I love you~~~~~♪

Yuu: Me too, major-chaa~~~~n♪ Jeez! You're so cute~~♪

Flirtey: Byoooooooo! The Hero Club memo is making steady progress~♪ My memo memory is running out~.

Ichigo: This is no good, everyone. The Heroes and Mikos' first priority is their duties. They have to work hard for Shinju-sama.

Niboshi: You're right, Ichigo. Let's encourage the Heroes in their training again today!

Mikan: No~pe. I'm a sentinel~. I can't with the training anymore. Chirp chirp.

Meb: Both for the battery thing and what it just said... Suzume!!

Suz: I-I didn't do anything! It's not my fault, chirp!

Fuu: Aah... That's bad. Now that I consider it again, talking pets are the worst fit for the Hero Club...

Its: Eh, why!? I mean, they can be a little noisy, but they're cute and fun!

Fuu: Think about what would happen if they started talking about Heroes and vertexes they learned about here outside.

Tak/Aka/Mas: Ah...

Sek: I wish I could've noticed this from the start, but that's a blind spot I didn't consider...

Yos: However, they have already learned so many words, aren't they exchanging information between themselves...?

Chi: We'll have to wipe them out before sending them back, even if it's a shame...

Sum: No way...

Aya: ......Sorry, Ichigo-chan. We even became good friends...

Tam: Tama No.2... Uuh...

Tama No.2: Cheer up, Tama-sama. Tama No.2's fine.

Ichigo: Yes♪ I will be reborn into a more fun life, so please cheer me on.

Gin: Haha... They've got it together better than us. How do I say that... Guys, thank you.

Son: Did you call? I am here for you, Mino-san.

Gin: Sono... In times like this, youuu! Can't help it then~. There, there.

Son: Ehehehe~. Let's give them a good cleaning before sending them back~.

Nat: Yes, this was nice... Thank you for this fun time together. Petfriends...
