Remember? Perverts have reasons

for being what they are.

We'd be called lesbians and

that's pretty perverse.

That pervert of yours has reasons

for being like that.

I know! Maybe he was trying to...

connect to you as a brother.

You'll be his sister, right?

Maybe he knew about this all along.

That must be it.

He's known about you from before.

So he doesn't mean anything

weird or perverse.

Maybe he's just enthusiastic

about having a sister.

Maybe he's trying to be a

good brother.

He sounds earnest.

Oh, I figured him wrong then!

Do you love me?

Of course I do.

Then promise me.

Can you treat him like a brother?

- Yes...

- I can't hear you.

- Yes.

- I love you.

Me too.

Keep your promise, okay?

Call me if you need me.

Yes.

Thank you, Miss Scorpion.

Bye.

Sh*t!

You want to check on her?

She's okay.

Sorry.

See?

Yoko Ozawa. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

I don't want her to be my sister!

And so Yoko and I now

lived under one roof.

Breakfast is ready!

- Good morning!

- Morning!

Thank you, Father for your love and

the food on the table.

In the name of our Lord, Jesus...

In the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen, let's eat.

Yes, let's!

As we said grace, I glimpsed at Yoko.

I'd get a bulge in my pants

whenever I looked at her.

Now getting a hard-on

felt like a sin.

It was difficult keeping my

promise with Miss Scorpion.

Dad.

Yes?

I have a confession.

No, you don't need to.

I'm too ashamed to

tell him anyway...

Sorry I made you do that.

I was out of line then.

I'm fragile like you.

After all, we're only human.

Sorry.

From today I have to

call him my brother...

I have to do it for Miss Scorpion.

Brother...

Good morning!

You'll be late for school!

Good morning...

The only way I could call him

Brother was by shouting it.

We had nothing to talk about.

That's right! See that

street over there?

That's where Miss Scorpion

saved me.

She is super cool!

Why do I have to hear her rave

on about Scorpion?

I had nothing to say to him so I

ended up talking about Scorpion.

Oh, maybe it's funny if...

What?

If we go in together.

You go ahead.

It's okay. We're family.

You're so self-conscious!

I'm just acting here, stupid!

We're not family.

They're not married yet.

Shut up, I know that already!

It's almost time to begin.

Watch out Yu and little sis,

I'm on my way.

Hey, they're a couple!

Go for it! The hottest new couple

of the century!

Yuck, this is annoying.

Okay, all right!

Enough already. Calm down!

Cosecant. These are

the 3 functions.

How are these 3 defined?

Oh, he is so gross...

But I made a promise to

Miss Scorpion.

I'm going to take a bath.

Okay.

What's wrong? Are you upset

about something?

Don't you feel like it?

Not in the mood?

Any problem?

Let go of me!

What's going on?

I want to go to a club.

- A nightclub?

- I feel like dancing.

How can you go out when

you have a man like me?

I might meet a better man.

- Yoko!

- Yes?

Let's go out!

Wait a minute.

- You coming too?

- No! You have me, you're my...

I'm your...?

What am I to you anyway?

Wife.

What? I can't hear you!

- My wife.

- Your wife? When did we get married?

We haven't but you're almost

my wife.

I'm almost your wife?

How idiotic! I'm tired

of sneaking around!

Just wait a bit more.

This is just like before!

Wait just a while.

These things take time...

What are you doing?

- Let's dance.

- What, like this?

Just like we used to!

Just until the Vatican approves it.

I'll go wherever you go, Mum.

- Men suck!

- Oh, yeah!

I'll quit being a priest

this minute...

You're a liar!

Be nice to each other.

Listen to what Yoko said.

No fighting?

We'll be together forever.

Kiss me.

Kiss me passionately so I can

forget about being cranky.

I'll do my best.

- Best?

- Here I come.

Miss Scorpion?

I know it's late...

It's okay. What is it?

I...

I really love you, Miss Scorpion.

Sorry... I'm being annoying.

I'm just being pushy...

- I've gotta go.

- No, it's no problem, Yoko.

I really love you too.

Call me any time,

I'm always here for you.

Thank you.

Me too... I love you too...

I love you too.

Sorry about what I said.

Don't be.

It's because I've been careless.

I'm really sorry.

I'll quit tomorrow.

And we'll get married right away.

That's great!

It's a promise.

I'm so happy!

Are you all prepared?

I'm counting on you tomorrow.

We have many new students

this month.

Are we going to get another one?

That's right.

Come in.

This is Aya Koike,

your new classmate.

Nice to see you all.

Make sure you're all nice to her.

Where should she sit?

Sir, I want to sit there.

No problem.

Where is Scorpion?

I heard that she was here!

It's payback time!

- Who are you guys?

- You?

Are you Scorpion?

I'm Scorpion!

I am Scorpion.

You? You're the talk of the town...

Miss Scorpion?

It's impossible.

You say you want to quit...

But it's beyond my authority.

That's how little

you think of the Lord?

Weren't you determined to

become a priest?

You've made me very upset.

I realise my inadequacy.

But...

You'd rather choose romance?

Is that what it is?

Tetsu.

I'll pretend I didn't hear

any of this.

Go to the chapel and pray.

Pray to God with all your heart.

I'm sorry.

You're saying you tried to stop

those gangsters and...

it was an involuntary

act of self defence?

Right. I had no idea what

was going on...

What's this Scorpion thing?

I have no idea what that

was about either.

I just had to act on it...

I see.

I know it seems unbelievable but

I have a black belt in karate.

So I was quite sure that I could

deal with those men.

I couldn't stop myself.

For everyone's sake...

I understand now. You just

tried to protect your classmates.

That's what happened.

I'm really sorry.

I misunderstood you.

You may go now.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Miss Scorpion...?

Yoko.

Is it true? But you're...

I look kind of different, don't I?

You can go now.

When I'm Scorpion, I wear

dark glasses and make-up.

With elevated boots.

But now I can see you without

wearing that stuff.

- You're really...

- Really!

I'm Miss Scorpion, the one who

saved you that day.

When your skirt blew up, only

I could see your panties.

Miss Scorpion...

I was happy when you said you

loved me on the phone.

Put out your tongue.

I'll bite it.

Does it hurt?

No.

How about that?

It doesn't hurt.

The story was written

around the 9th Century.

It goes, "Long ago, there was

an old bamboo cutter."

I'm sure you're all familiar

with this story.

There was someone I ought to meet.

Someone I hadn't met for 30 years.

I believed she was my mother.

What are you doing, Yu?

You have a cute little sister.

What are you doing?

Are you upset with me?

What are you doing here?

I'm interested in you.

Who are you?

Me?

Someone who is interested in you.

What are you trying to do?

You're not doing it

very much these days.

Doing what?

Panty photos.

I know everything!

You, bad boy.
