Episode 8 "Tropical Marie"
Soon, Kalmia High's first semester will
give way to the joys of summer vacation.
Have you made vacation plans?
Well, my family's taking a trip,
but it's nothing special.
My cousin's coming to stay!
I'll be in the pool all summer!
You failed your recent exams in two subjects.
SHOOOOOOOOOOOCK
Shock.
Makeup exams are in two days.
You'd better study for them!
Failing grades
Marie, what are these papers?
Yikes! Master Arthur's going to see I failed!
Wh-What abysmal scores!
I see what's going on. That gang of robot
geeks wiped your memories of schoolwork too!
Y-Yes, it appears so.
When are your makeup exams?
You're on shaky ground right now.
The day after tomorrow.
Kalmia High is known
for producing great minds.
Makeup exams here
are practically a death knell.
Because if you fail them,
you'll be expelled on the spot!
Expelled?
An angry lecture from Roy will
be the least of my worries.
I won't get to stand at
Master Arthur's side anymore.
We'd better get Roy to download
academic data into you right away.
Such an advanced installation would
take approximately one week.
Then we have no other recourse. Meet me
in the library after school to study.
Oh, hey, Marie. Here to hit the books?
Noah.
You have makeup exams in two days, right?
How does Noah know that?!
Our teacher's got a loud voice.
I could hear everything from the hall.
Excuse me. I'm in a hurry.
I'll help you study.
I've got a knack for instruction.
Whoa!
Give me every assassin
tool you're carrying. Now.
You knew Master Arthur and I were coming
and planned a trap, didn't you?
Come on. It's nothing like that.
Sure, his trusty bodyguard getting expelled
would make my job of killing him easier,
but it wouldn't make up
for you being out of my life.
I just want to help you out.
I can't trust—
M-M-Ma
Marie! How could you be so indecent?!
What are you thinking, u-u-undressing a boy?!
Master Arthur, you have it wrong.
I merely informed him that
he had stained his jacket.
Oh, is that all?
Your programming is always so considerate.
Mind if I join in on Marie's study sesh?
Huh?
We're in the same class and learn the
same material, so I bet I could help her.
I've heard the advanced class you're in
has a much different curriculum.
Yes, that's true.
Do it for Marie!
Okay then, what are we waiting for?
Let's go, Marie!
Now, you do this like so
No way can I relax and study
in this situation!
Here, Marie.
I'll show you the packet I put together
on what the exam is going to cover.
I listed up all the key points.
Huh? This doesn't look right.
Sorry. I got mixed up.
You're dead—
Come on, I said I was sorry.
Oh, Master Arthur. Noah was
goofing off, so I was scolding him.
O-Of course.
Oh, my hand slipped!
Arthur, would you grab that for me?
TAKE NO CHANCES
BLANK
Blank
Marie?
Wow, thanks, Marie.
All that to pick up a blank sheet of paper.
Damn it!
I found a book on art history that looks good.
Come check it out, Marie.
He has good grades.
Getting expelled would suck.
I hate doing what he says,
but I guess I'd better.
Okay, I'll be right over.
Kabedon!
The quiet version
for library use
Master Arthur, are you not feeling well?
No, I'm fine. It's nothing.
I'll return the books we used.
Noah, let me express my gratitude as well.
Thank you for helping Marie study.
Oh, it was no big deal.
There's stuff only someone
in her class would get.
And honestly,
I know her better than you do, anyway.
I'm with her twenty-four hours a day.
There's a thing or two she can't tell anyone,
even if you're always together.
Want me to share Marie's secrets with you?
Master Arthur, I'm sorry I took so—
How did things get so tense?
I'd better do something.
Um, perhaps we should hurry home to the—
Whoa there.
Are you hurt, Marie?
I will harden my heart for you, Marie.
If you get expelled,
it's back to the factory with you.
The day after the next
Good. It was a close call, but you pass.
You can do it when you put in
the effort. Now make a habit of it.
Thank you very much.
Thank goodness! Now I won't be expelled!
I get to stay at school
with Master Arthur and—
Marie!
Master Arthur.
I couldn't help worrying about your exams.
Did he run all this way for me?
I passed them, sir.
Thank goodness. I'm so glad.
I am glad, but
If I'm being honest, I wanted to be
the one to help you study.
I wanted to be the only one you needed.
Master Arthur have you been
feeling jealous all this time?
Marie.
Yes?
With your makeup exams behind us
and summer break starting next week,
we're going on a tropical island getaway!
W-We are?!
Mechanical Marie
Mechanical Marie
We're lucky to have such a nice nephew.
I can't believe he invited us on this trip.
Yeah, you said it.
You really are generous, Master Arthur.
No, I didn't invite anyone.
You should've known you couldn't run
off alone with my Marie, Arthur.
Oh, that reminds me. I sent out
more invites to keep things lively.
To think he would place us
in such a masochistic situation!
We love it!
Young Master, you're in the most danger
when you feel most free.
Free(dom)
Marie 2, protect your master.
Looking up "free."
Free (of charge)
"Costing nothing.
Also, not in use or occupied."
Hmm? Where's Isabel?
Charlotte, have you seen her?
Oh, that girl. She's run off
to bother Arthur again.
Master Arthur, who is that?
Arthur!
Oh, she must be one of the Rustys.
Come back with us, Isabel.
No, I don't want to!
I'm Arthur's—
Arthur, this place will be your grave.
Perish on this pristine beach!
I'll bear witness to your final moments.
Prototype No. 26, activate!
This thing is on another
level from your robot maid.
Go!
Make way for me!
Whoa.
My.
Wow.
Oh! That's Prototype No. 26.
We built it while developing Marie 2.
I see the resemblance.
But isn't it a little big to be
a prototype for Marie 2?
Still, what is it doing here?
Master Maynard located at 10 o'clock,
ahead and to the left.
Surprised?! I'm part of the
Zetes Corporation too!
Hmm It appears our security is too lax.
It's me. Me. Me.
What's that?!
Go, Marie 2! Keep Master Arthur safe!
Roger.
Marie 2, aerial form, taking off.
Combat mode engaged.
Now airborne. Now airborne.
Now reducing to scrap.
Now rotating.
Now spinning more than usual.
Marie! Take Master Arthur
to safety while you can!
Make way for me.
We designed Prototype No. 26 as a meathead
specializing in physical performance.
I guess stopping it won't be so easy
Oh?
Huh?
No! Marie 2's rocket propulsion system!
Oh my stars.
Master Arthur, we can reach
the other side through there.
It looks like our way
back to that beach is blocked.
It certainly does.
This means I'll be alone
with Master Arthur here for a while.
And we're in our swimsuits!
I'm getting kind of hungry.
I'm famished.
Are you hungry as well, Marie?
Wait, do robot stomachs growl too?
Crap. That has to have given me away.
I see now.
Honestly, making a robot signal low energy
by imitating a grumbling stomach?
I have to question Roy's taste.
Thank goodness he's his usual, gullible self.
I'm told that I was designed to resemble
humans as closely as possible.
Really?
Master Arthur, we should search for food.
Marie.
Yes, sir?
I always carry these around with me.
And as long as I do,
you have nothing to worry about.
I should've known.
But those aren't what I need.
They won't help us at all.
Marie.
Yes, sir?
I promise we'll get out of here together.
Help will come soon.
Yes, sir.
But until then, we're on our own.
Yes, sir.
This is a special Zetes dry cell battery. Do not try this with ordinary batteries at home.
Leave this to me.
Is something the matter?
Thank you for getting this,
but the shell is too hard for me.
Oh, is that all?
Thanks, Marie.
I'll drink some later.
We might find more edible plants
and fruits in the forest.
Master Arthur, you can eat that grass.
Oh, really?
This sure takes me back.
Way back to the old days.
When I lived with my mom and dad,
they let me keep up my training,
so I was happy,
but after Dad died in that accident,
Mom found a new guy in no time.
She was out more often than not afterward.
I guess I was in her way.
Once the neglect started,
This tastes gross
I ate all kinds of stuff to survive
until I was old enough to work.
I used to pick this grass
all the time in the old days.
What "old days"?
Oh no. I'm a robot built for Master Arthur.
I shouldn't have a past.
I just let that slip out.
A long time ago
A long time ago what?
I was used as a lawn mower,
and I still have data from that time.
Come to think of it, I don't
know much about Marie, do I?
Please let that be the end of it.
Did she come with an owner's manual?
I'd better ask Roy.
That's right. If I want to stay
with Master Arthur,
I'm going to have to keep
lying to him all the time.
What are you doing?!
After hydration, you need nourishment.
Were you going to catch fish?
But isn't water dangerous for you, Marie?
Yup. I sink like a rock.
You don't need to take that risk for me.
I'll be fine as long as the vital
components in my head stay dry.
Master Arthur, take shelter
from the rain over there.
You too, Marie! Before your head gets wet!
I I can't believe we're squished
together with no one else around.
Master Arthur's half-naked.
My heart can't take it!
Huh?
What?!
I'm sorry. It wasn't supposed to be like this.
I planned this trip so that you could
add a fun vacation to your database,
but just look what I've put you through!
It must have been bothering him.
First weirdos tag along for no good reason,
then Maynard's weird robot traps us here!
Now if you rust in this rain
I didn't invite Uncle Carl or Aunt Charlotte
Master Arthur, please don't blame yourself.
or Roy or Marie 2 or the
fan club or Maynard or
I
I'd be happy anywhere,
as long as it's with you.
Marie, I love you.
Master Arthur always tells me
how he feels so openly.
And yet here I'm always
Master Arthur, I am a machine,
so I don't fully understand romantic love.
I'm terrified that Master Arthur
might reject me.
But
But I want to tell him
at least a little of the truth.
If I were a human girl, I'm sure
I would have fallen in love with you.
What are you saying?
This is
What do you?
the best answer I can come up with now.
The master and Marie located.
The master and Marie located.
Master Arthur, I have come to take you back.
My rockets malfunctioned
during the recent battle,
so emergency repairs delayed my arrival.
Master Arthur!
Master Arthur, are you hurt?
Arthur, darling, please be safe!
Arthur!
So he survived!
I guess this thing really was just
an oversized prototype.
Useless hunk of junk!
Well, the robot was taking
orders from a defective owner.
We will soon arrive at our destination.
Isn't this great, Marie?
We can go back to life as normal now.
I wish we could have stayed
alone a little longer.
Thank you for flying with us.
If I were human
If you were human
And so their vacation passed,
leaving them both stuck feeling, "Um"
