The Long Excuse Page #5

---

I'm not going to eat that!

It's for Shinpei!

Want to come to the store?

I'm staying here.

Let's go after that's over.

I'm staying here.

Oh.

Sorry, I just bought this here.

There's no shrimp or crab in it, is there?

Not in a cream puff.

You're absolutely sure?

Akari?

I'm going for Shinpei.

Are you staying?

I'm coming.

Akari?

Hmm?

I thought it was you!

How are you?

What are you doing out now?

Hello. We're going to meet her brother...

And you are?

I don't believe we've met.

No, we haven't.

Uh...her father and I are...

He's Daddy's cousin.

Cousin?

Sachio.

I'm Yoichi Omiya's cousin Sachio.

Oh.

Hello.

Please remain seated until the bus comes to a full stop.

Why 'cousin'?

You don't look the same.

Who doesn't?

You don't look anything like Daddy.

They wouldn't believe 'brother'.

I'm amazed she came out with that on the spur of the moment.

The laundry might be getting wet.

Take care, then.

Hurry up!

I'll be late for cram school.

Stop being so selfish!

Akari!

Not only am I going to be late...

Don't kick me!

But at the store...

Stop it!

...she started arguing.

OK! I'll boil some rice.

No!

You said it had to be curry!

I want chickie-face curry!

That was a one-day special at the store, I told you!

Stupid!

Don't say 'stupid'!

I'll do it! It's OK!

You get going, Shinpei.

Your bus'll be leaving.

Akari! Akari!

Let's have curry.

We've got some.

Off you go.

We'll have curry.

Stupid!

Will you help?

No!

No? The poor rice!

Want to try?

Is that how you do it? OK.

Like this?

The water's getting whiter.

Really white!

When it gets white, you pour it out.

You pour it out, huh?

There's a mark!

Up to 5.

That should be right.

Perfect.

Five?

I'll raise the lid.

Can you reach?

Great!

Is that OK?

Right!

Not yet!

Rolly!

I'll eat them!

I'll tear them in pieces and chomp them down!

No, Octo!

People don't eat octopuses because they hate us.

I don't care!

I won't eat any more little fishes or shrimps!

If you're set free, Mom,

I won't eat them!

How's that? A little more?

A little more.

Two pieces of carrot.

And I'll have some, too.

That's good.

We'll save that for seconds.

Well, shall we eat?

Bless this food!

So how's it going to be?

It's good!

With the towels, first, you do this.

You spread it right out...

Then fold it over.

Now it's half.

Don't fold it wrinkled!

That's OK!

Here's another one.

Whose is this?

That's Shinpei's, isn't it?

Shinpei!

That's his, too.

This is mine.

I'll take care of Shinpei's, then.

My helmet's not done up.

Careful.

OK.

Are you sure you're OK?

You're weaving!

It's OK.

You don't have to hurry.

Sheesh!

Huh?

Shinpei!

Shinpei!

Shinpei!
