Episode 6 "Captive Marie"
You're late.
Ten minutes late.
I-I'm so sorry, sir.
The driver's a dead man this time for sure.
Oh well.
Marie, you get in first.
Master Arthur isn't angry?
How come?
Master Arthur, I wish you a
very happy birthday today.
It's his birthday?!
How could I not have known it was
such a big day for the guy I like?
My birthday My least favorite
of all the 365 days in the year.
It gives people a pretext to send me gifts,
all rigged with blades or bombs.
My birthday meals are always poisoned.
My party always gets canceled
due to bomb threats.
And my birthday brings back
memories I hate to even—
No, never mind.
The one fond memory I do have
is from the year my father
took me in as a stepchild.
He took time out of his busy schedule for me,
and we had birthday cake together.
Birthday cake
Before I ended up in extreme poverty,
I got one every year. It made me so happy.
That settles it! When we get back
to the mansion, I'll bake a cake!
After all,
birthdays are supposed to be joyous occasions.
Arthur!
Please accept these birthday presents from us!
Sorry.
I've decided not to accept
any presents from classmates.
I hate to ask, but please take them back.
Marie, help return them all.
Yes, sir.
Hey, you.
Do you have a moment to talk after school?
Marie!
How would you like to be friends
with us, the Arthur Fan Club?
The what?
Also known as the Society for Wanting
Arthur to Look at You Like You're Trash!
He's a misanthrope through and through.
When we say hello, he responds
with an awkward smile to be polite.
ZMYLE
You can just tell he thinks we're a nuisance!
And we love it!
In any case, I trust you now
understand how we feel.
So please, take these.
I'll check with Master Arthur. Just in case.
Thank yo—
But will you really be my friends?
I'm glad.
I like Master Arthur too.
My! Don't tell me you're one of those people!
To be clear, falling in love
is a serious offense within the fan club.
Why, you ask? Because
Arthur is just too wonderful.
Falling in love with him
is beyond presumptuous.
So give up like the rest of us!
What's wrong with falling in love?
No, thank you.
Are you picking a fight with us?!
Bring it on!
So the cookie crumbles.
Is falling for Master Arthur really so wrong?
Arthur
Fool around too much and you'll get hurt.
W-We're so sorry!
Please excuse us!
I'm saved.
Marie, what happened? Are you all right?
Er, we were just playing tag.
Oh, is that all? I'm glad.
Student council business
will keep me late today.
Would you go home without me?
Certainly, sir.
As long as I mix in lots of tasty things,
it will come out fine won't it?
Tasty
Tasty
Ultra Tasty
That wasn't nice.
Give me a break. My left arm
hasn't fully recovered yet.
I will not relent.
Anyone who wants Master Arthur dead must—
Relax. I'm taking a break from hitman gigs.
I won't do anything to hurt Arthur.
Then what are you doing here?
Isn't it obvious?
I'm here for that cake.
You think I'd give it to you?
This is Master Arthur's birthday cake.
Let me bake in peace.
Let me give you some baking tips, then.
Baking is a chance to slip a foreign
substance into your target's body.
You have to make sure you get the job done.
Oh, my cake
And what in the world is this funny smell?
Hey, don't look at me.
You just suck at baking.
I was hoping to snag that cake,
but it looks nasty, so I'll pass.
See you. Good luck with the
whole doomed love thing.
Anyway, I can't believe how
full of holes the mansion's security is.
Maybe I'll drop in again to check out
Marie in her maid outfit.
Flick.
Maximum priority threat detected.
Now commencing mincing.
Hamburg steak time.
If Marie 2's around, I'd better
call off any more visits.
Off I go.
Hamburg steak time.
Reengaging deactivated security system.
Establishing patrols.
It ended up a far cry from how I imagined it,
but I'm glad it looks decent
now that I've wrapped it.
Initiating power mode.
M-My cake!
I-I'm terribly sor—
It's fine.
To be honest, I didn't do
a great job making it.
Forget it and focus on increasing patrols.
Oh, of course. Understood.
I guess I won't give it to him after all.
Beyond presumptuous!
Good luck with the whole doomed love thing.
Besides, who knows if he'd
even accept it, coming from me?
Moreover, he deserves better
than a failed attempt like this.
If I'm just going to embarrass
myself, I shouldn't bother—
What are you up to, Marie?
W-Welcome home, Master Arthur.
Thanks. It's good to be back.
I had an extra exhausting day.
Dodging presents after school was hard work.
If only I could take people's
goodwill at face value
But after what I've been through,
I can't bring myself to trust any of them.
In the end, today wasn't
a good day for anyone.
It's no wonder I hate birthdays.
Birthdays are supposed to be joyous occasions.
That's right. I didn't want
Master Arthur to hate this day.
Master Arthur,
happy birthday.
Even if you hate today,
I wanted to celebrate it.
So I downloaded a recipe
and tried making this.
Of course.
I don't have to feel blue every time
my birthday comes around anymore.
I have you.
Master Arthur
I'm here for you.
And I'll stay here
right by your side.
Marie got the sugar and salt mixed up.
Marie got the sugar and salt mixed up
It's good.
There's something I've wanted you
to do for me for a while now.
Change into this dress.
May I open the door?
Yes, go ahead.
Pardon me.
Master Arthur, that outfit
You look lovely
Miss Marie.
Not quite there
Okay.
That's better.
Master Arthur is so good at this.
I'm always getting you to help
me with things, you know?
Th-This is so embarrassing!
You needn't do a thing, Miss Marie.
He's doing all these lovely things for me,
so why do I feel so conflicted?
Master Arthur, I've got a whole
heap of gifts for you, sir.
Wait there.
I know I left instructions
to leave all deliveries outside.
Are you new?
What kind of birthday is that?!
That's my cue to step in.
After last time, I upgraded to something
strong enough to incapacitate with one jolt.
But normally I'd be the one to
Oh, I get it.
Payback time!
Sorry.
Would you wait a moment?
But I waited like you asked!
I know why I felt torn.
Rather than being protected myself
Excuse me, Master Arthur.
I want to be the one protecting Master Arthur.
Master Arthur, you can do
anything you set your mind to.
I'm sure you fought off assassins
before I got here.
But it's because you can stand strong
on your own that I want to protect you.
Does me protecting you bother you?
No, I love you protecting me, Marie.
I'm glad to hear it.
Mechanical Marie
Mechanical Marie
Master Arthur collapsed?!
Have you called the school nurse?
Not yet. He said to get you right away.
Master Arthur, Master Arthur!
I promised I'd keep him safe!
He's through that door.
Robot Lovers Club
Master Arthur?
Welcome to the Robot Lovers Club!
Your strength and speed are so astonishing
that we started to suspect you're really
a robot developed by the Zetes Corporation.
But look how easy it was to trick her.
She could just be a pretty crummy robot.
So, basically, we invited you here to study you.
"Invited" me? You mean you abducted me!
I need to get out of here, and now.
Okay, let's take her apart.
Yeah!
Start by taking her clothes off.
Has anyone here ever undressed a girl before?
Stop!
Stop!
Damn it! We've been set up!
She's a robot! Who designed her
to prey on our consciences like this?!
We can't go through with it!
These guys are idiots.
I'll never get anywhere like this.
Actually, I have antigravity
systems in my feet,
so I can hover three millimeters
off the ground.
What?!
No way!
Like that famous thing?! You know the one!
Talk about high tech!
However, it would be difficult
to show you like this.
Would you at least untie me from the post?
I've got to see!
M-Maybe we shouldn't
I don't know if I'd call that "hovering."
It's just regular old jumping, right?
Even robots lie sometimes.
She's loose!
After her!
This robot's dangerous!
No more Mr. Nice Guy!
Oh no.
Disassembly time! Everybody
get your screwdrivers!
Disassembly!
Disassembly!
Somebody help me!
Master Arthur
H-How did you find us here?
Master Arthur!
Are you really robotics geeks?
What?! GPS?!
Stay out of our research!
Marie is mine. No one else can have her.
I'll keep her safe!
I want to protect Master Arthur,
but he wound up saving me again.
Let's go, Marie.
M-My undergarments
I can't let Master Arthur see
me in this disgraceful state.
You're not damaged, are you, Marie?
I've got to think fast!
Who are you? I do not know you. I am afraid.
What?
Marie lost her memory?
Yes, that's right.
It looks like they did something
to erase all her data about me.
Her data?
What nonsense is this now?
I'm sorry.
Maintenance may fix that.
I'll take her overnight and—
No, I'll figure something out.
I'll make her remember no matter what!
U-Um
Marie, you probably don't remember,
but we have seven precepts
of flirtation that we follow every day.
P-Precepts of what?
What idiot would follow those?
So let's try going through them.
It
It may help you remember something.
Okay, guess I'll play along with these
"precepts" and then tell him I remember.
First: The
good morning hug
First, the good morning hug.
Second: Holding hands on
the way to and from school.
With fingers interlaced
Second, holding hands on the way to
and from school. With fingers interlaced.
Third, the "say 'ah.'"
Third: The "say 'ah'"
Fourth, looking into each other's eyes.
Fourth: Looking into each other's eyes
Fifth, the lap pillow.
Fifth: The lap pillow
Sixth: The head pat
Sixth, the head pat.
Man, it's been a while.
Lastly, the seventh and final precept
Seventh
Don't tell me
Would you close your eyes?
I knew it!
A kiss
You really don't remember.
You've lost all memory of me.
I do remember.
After coming into contact with you, I
discovered girlfriend mode in my core program.
While analyzing it, I located
and restored my data on you.
You remember me, Marie!
Also, we haven't made any formal
agreement about flirting.
You despise lies,
yet I see you still tell them.
"Oh, if only that agreement were real,
we could go home hand-in-hand,"
they both thought, of the same mind.

Kalmia High faces Perennial High
in the annual joint sports day.
Be it a potato sack race or
a piggyback battle, I'll go all-out.
