Boring days are meaningful days too

Lots of interesting things can make you laugh

I read your expressions like a book

It's something interesting, too

I love my mama

Daddy loves it when she's happy

This is my family, let's laugh a little

Live and laugh

My loving home

We are family

Boring days are meaningful days too

Lots of interesting things can make you laugh

I can read your expressions like a book

It's something interesting, too

We need not say anything

To bring happiness to the family

This is my family, let's laugh a little

Live and laugh

My loving home

I'm full

Enough already?

Yuzu's salad dressing

If you don't eat enough now

You'll get hungry later

No, thanks

Being too full makes me drowsy

Oh right, I recall you saying

That you have a test next week

Really! If you would only work hard on a daily basis

There'd be no need to clutch at straws

Baseless scolding

That's no good

Not even a bit of diligence

Yuzu has always been this careless

Still so irresponsible at his age

I have no idea who he takes after

It's obviously you, Mrs. Fa

That's right

I'm full

Enjoy, you two

Oh, that Mikan

Yes, yes, right away

*stomach gurgles*

Kinda hungry

Maybe I ate too little at dinner

I'd be in a heap of trouble if Mrs. Fa found out

"Ittadakimasu"

All full

So sleepy...

Nevermind, I'll revise tomorrow

Bedtime

(SQUELCH)

It can't be...

It should be...yes....

That feeling just now...

And that squelching sound...

It can't be wrong

There is obviously something underneath me

According to my prediction

This means.....!

Right now, right beneath me is....

Salad dressing...salad dressing...salad dressing...

I'm all sticky now

So disgusting!

Yuzu Tachibana

You must keep calm

Forget about it, it will be alright

Yeah, I should take it off

Oh well

There's no use checking it

Should go to sleep

I must forget it

Goodnight!

It's salad dressing! Help!

Help! Help!

Sheesh

Just a dream

Huh, how come?

Thank goodness

It was all just a dream

It's weird, but who cares

Hurrah!

Hurrah!

What? A dream in a dream?

It's still here...

I really slept on top of the salad dressing

What should I do?

How should I tell Mrs. Fa?

Yuzu!

Don't think you can oversleep on a holiday!

Uh, actually, I...

That's right, it's time to wash the pajamas

What now?

What on earth is this!?!

Yuzu, what the heck is this!?

Salad dressing...

Salad dressing!?

Well, the truth is...

YOU IDIOT!

Dirtying your clothes like that

You're going without dinner tonight!

Hehehe...

(Everything differs every day)

That's right, I must continue to work hard today

First, fold all the clothes

Then, place them in the closet

Next, wash all the dishes

Finally, prepare dinner

"Ittadakimasu"

That's all for today!

Cantonese: "Mrs. Fa's Theory of Life" Japanese: "Life, a Plate Spinning Trick"

Right, first off is to fold all the clothes

Uh, what was next?

Oh yes, it's now time for TV!

(Actually, I think stretch fabric is more comfortable)

(Yes, stretch fabrics are not bad)

Pudding, here I come!

Did someone eat it?

Guess I'll have some water instead

It's time for grocery shopping

Oh yes

Mikan, what are you doing right now?

Studying, 'cause I have a test tomorrow

Well, here's the thing

Mom is going grocery shopping

Uh huh

These clean clothes...

Huh?

Help me fold them all

I'm off

But I have a test tomorrow!

Just wait a moment!

Why is it that every time you go grocery shopping

I'm the one who has to fold the clothes at home?

That's simple

If Mom is out grocery shopping

Then Mom won't be at home

So, there is no Mom to fold the clothes

And you, Mikan, have to stay at home to revise

That means you're not going anywhere today

So that's why you're in charge of folding the clothes

Logical

What kind of logic is that?

Well, Mom's going out for groceries now

You're in charge of the clothes

Hey, just wait a minute!

No way, Mrs. Fa!

What's your problem now?

I told you I have a test tomorrow

Where do I have the time to fold the clothes?

Are you that lazy?

It's just a chore or two

So noisy

There's no way I'm doing it

I've told you many times

I have a test tomorrow!

I need to concentrate on revising!

Or I'd flunk the test tomorrow!

What are you talking about?

You go on about revision and studying

You think you can ace life by just revising?

Huh?

Why do you sound so different from your usual self?

Usually, you'd say

HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO FOOL AROUND

DO YOUR REVISION, NOW!

GO TO YOUR ROOM AND STUDY

STUDY!

You'd usually rage and tell us to revise

Listen up

Life is actually like a plate-spinning trick

Plate-spinning trick?

Plate-spinning trick?

What just happened?

What's with the brick-chopping?

The truth is every person's life

Is like a plate-spinning trick

(The secret of the plate-spinning trick)

As you manage this plate

You have to manage this one too

And that one over there

They continue to spin

You mustn't allow a single plate to drop

Just like this

If you only focus on a single plate

That's not going to work

That's why you need to pay attention to the other plates

Because you are not a god

A god?

I should tell you a story from my youth

When your mother was young

She had to study while caring for her siblings

She had to work in the fields and do the chores

When Mom was little, apart from studying

She had to do the chores, and work in the fields

Wait, I just said that, didn't I?

OK, OK, I get it

I guess I'll revise while folding the clothes

It's great that you understand this theory of life

Revise while folding the clothes

Then, wash the dishes in the sink

What, and the dishes too!?

Mikan, the plate-spinning trick of life is not easy

You have the fifth plate...then the sixth...

After the sixth...then it's the seventh...

Eight is just after seven

You must continuously increase the number of plates

By dong this, you will improve in life

You must learn from your Mom

Yeah OK, I'll just do the dishes

Since you're at it, rinse the rice too

Four servings

Huh, what did you say?

I have to revise while folding the clothes

Wash the dishes

And rinse the rice

Mrs. Fa, that's outrageous!

There's no time

I need to revise

I guess it's best to finish the chores first

Or I wouldn't be able to concentrate

Life is like doing a plate-spinning trick

Don't you think it's strange?

She's only saying it

Just to make you do the chores

That's right, THAT is the truth

What an outrage! She's terrible!

Dr. Fa's Super Scientific Research Laboratory

Dr. Fa! Dr. Fa!

What is it?

There's a letter in the mailbox

Who sent it?

It's from Miss Kuse of Gifu city, Gifu prefecture

Miss. Usami

Miss. Kurita and Miss. Yamanaka

These four girls addressed this letter to us

There are two photos inside

What?

Professor, what on earth is it?

What sort of photos are they?

The lines on the wall form Yuzu's face

Therefore, it has been named "Yuzu's Wall"

I'm home

Welcome home

Cantonese: Mikan's Collection Japanese: Someday Box* *(A box of items in preparation of moving out)

Dear, welcome home

How was the wedding?

Was the food delicious?

What kind of gift is it?

I hope it's edible

What is this?

What, it's a kettle

A kettle?

We already have two kettles

What's the matter?

You don't want it?

We don't need that many kettles

Give it to me, then

Why do you need a kettle, Mikan?

This kettle is really pretty

My collection always looks so beautiful

This towel was a birthday gift

This kettle was redeemed from the bakery

From today onward, this kettle shall be one of my precious collections
