Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost
Episode 3
Take that!
Phew, I'm finally done.
All right.
Oh, you're leaving already, Fushihara?
Yup! Good work today.
Oh? Hrm...
Ugh, looks like it's about to start raining.
I should hurry home.
Sneak.
Sneaky-sneak.
Sneakity-sneaky, sneak, sneak.
Sneaky-sneak.
Oh, Miss Shachiku's not here!
Hurray!
She was able to leave today!
Yay!
Miss Shachiku finally got to leave today!
Yippee, hurray! Yippee, hurray!
Miss Shachiku finally...
She finally...
Miss Shachiku's gone.
She's gone.
It's okay.
I'm fine.
I'm happy she's not here.
It's a good thing, after all.
She got to leave early today.
I'm not lonely at all.
I-I'm not scared at all!
I-I-I'm totally fine!
It's a good thing she left. I can't get scared now!
Being alone isn't scary at all...
The old man's snoring r-really loud tonight.
I have to cover up.
I wonder if Miss Shachiku is scared of thunder and lightning.
I hope she got out of the rain okay.
Miss Shachiku...
I'm not scared.
I'm not lonely!
Ugh, come on...
Who asks for edits in the middle of the night?
Can I even get this done before morning?
Le... Le-Le-Le-Le...
Leave!
Huh?!
Wh-What is it?! What's wrong?!
Leave! Leave!
Squeeze.
How cute.
Okay.
Phew, it's done!
I can finally go home!
Really? You can leave now?
Yup. For now, anyway.
Hurray!
Now you can go home and go beddy-bye-bye!
Yup, yup!
Oh?
Hmm... Looks like it's still pouring outside.
M-Miss Shachiku... Will you be okay in the thunder and lightning?
The storm clouds looked pretty far from here,
so I should be fine.
You're gonna leave?
Hmm...
Looks like she's afraid of the thunder and lightning.
I can't just leave her alone like this.
I know! Why don't you come see me home?
I'd certainly be happy if you did.
Okay! I can do that!
Hmm, it's still raining pretty hard out there, though.
Wait right here, okay?
Huh?
I thought this might come in handy one day.
Hee hee hee.
First, we slip these on like so.
Next, put your arms through here.
Yup, just like that.
And for the final touch, this goes over your head.
All right, I think we're done.
Ribbit!
D'aww!
N-Now try holding this!
Ribbity-ribbit!
Double d'aww!
Wow!
Say, Miss Shachiku, what am I wearing?
Angel wings!
No, that's a raincoat.
Wow! This is amazing!
My whole body's an umbrella!
This is so fun!
Splashy-splash!
Super-duper yay!
I'm gonna explode!
Raining! It's raining!
Pitter-patter, drippy-drop!
Splishy-splash, it's rain!
Now, now!
You'll get soaked if you don't stay under your umbrella.
Hmm?
What's up?
What was that just now?
An abandoned cat?
It's still so young... What should we do?
It's totally sopping.
Are you okay?
Aren't you cold?
You'll get cold if you stay soaking wet.
Here.
I got this from Miss Shachiku,
so it's my favorite umbrella,
but I don't want you to be cold.
So I'll let you have it, okay?
What a kind little ghost she is.
All right!
Let's get this little kitty out of the rain, shall we?
Are you sure?!
Of course!
If you'll help me take care of her, that is.
I will! I'll help!
I wanna help take care of her!
Well then, how about it?
If you don't mind, we'd like to take you home and get you out of the rain.
Why, thank you!
It's settled, then. Let's hurry on home!
Let's leave!
So I can trust you to look after her once we get home, Yuurei-chan?
Of course! I'm gonna look after Myako all day!
Myako?
That's her name! Myako!
Too cute!
Is something up, Fushihara?
Huh?!
You've had a strange look on your face since lunch.
Ah, well...
I'm actually taking care of a kitten right now.
What?! Are you serious?
What were you thinking?
I don't know...
I left it at home with my little gho—
Uh, I mean, a friend of mine's kid.
My stomach hurts worrying.
Ow, ow, ow...
Sounds rough and all,
but I don't think we'll be finished here any time soon.
Well, I'm sure they'll be fine!
I just hope they're getting along...
Hrrrmgh...
Myako, sit!
Rrrrrgh!
Myako, lie down!
Sniffly-sniff...
Myako, paw!
Wah! She's in her rebellious phase!
Be a good girl and listen to your owner!
All right, time for my trump card!
Wiggle!
Wiggly-wiggle!
Wigglety-wiggle-wiggle!
And now we fetch!
Go get it!
You're so cute, Myako!
And funny!
She likes to play!
What a cutie.
What a funny kitty-cat.
Myako must really like playing.
Myako?
Myako, do you... hate me?
You don't want to be a good girl?
It's a deal, okay?
Now we're friends!
I'm home!
Sorry, sorry. I know I'm... late?
Huh?
Oh?
Th-They're both conked out!
That's so cute!
Cute indeed.

Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost.
Ugh...
I finally get a day off work and I'm here with a girl friend...
Ugh, what a life.
Um, Kaori?
Mind explaining why you invited
an old school friend like me out for tea?
We're both lonely members of society now, you know?
Oh, how it feels to be single...
Give it a rest.
I'm exhausted as it is without adding that to my plate.
Honestly...
Hey, I'm sorry.
But what was it you said?
Getting together with like-minded people is good for us working adults, right?
Those were your words of wisdom, remember?
Well, yeah...
Actually, I wanted to ask you something.
Fushihara...
Have you been... seeing anyone recently?
Huh?
No. I mean, I've been busy with work.
Oh, so that's it.
That's what?! Huh?! What're you saying?!
Do I really seem that desperate?
No, no. I'm not talking about dating!
I meant more in a spiritual sense. Like a ghost, perhaps.
Huh?
Can you actually... see stuff like that, Kaori?
Yeah, well, I've always kinda had a sixth sense, you know?
So I've been thinking...
I was wondering if maybe that's the reason you're so tired lately.
I've been worried about you.
I was wondering if maybe that's the reason you're so tired lately.
Oh, it's Miss Shachiku!
She's home!
I've been worried about you.
But looks like I didn't need to be!
Work's just been a little hard on you.
Maybe I'm wrong...
But I get the feeling the spirit's helping you out.
It's a kind and loving soul.
And I wonder...
Is it perhaps a little girl who's a bit of a crybaby sometimes?
Does that sound familiar to you?
Welcome home!
Yeah, very familiar.
Good to hear.
Yeah!
I'm home!
Were you cleaning?
Yeah!
We cleaned the apartment.
Then after that, we did some sunbathing!
Sunbathing?
Me and Myako had our arms spread out like this!
Oh, that sounds great!
Yup! It felt great!

So if I do this...
Then put this like that...
Phew, that looks about right.
Okay!
Now then, I'll be home late again today, all right?
Make sure to look after Myako for me.
I will!
Myako?
What's wrong, Myako?
What was that?
You "want to be of service" too?
Why, thank you.
But I'd like you to be a good girl and stay home, okay?
Helping her leave work is my job!
All right, I'm counting on you, okay?
Okay! Take care!
Try to leave work early!
You too, Myako. I'll see you later, okay?
Wait, what?
Mya...
Now may I be of service to you, Mistress?
So cute!
Huh?!
Cute indeed!
