Daa! Daa! Daa! Issue 7

Da! Da! Da!
Chapter 8

On the color cover, Miyu narrates: I’m Miyu Kouzuki, thirteen years old and in the eighth grade. No matter how you look, I’m just a normal teenager. But ever since I moved to Saionji’s temple, my life isn’t normal anymore. Everyday is a blast…

Miyu: Hey! R—u kun! Wait up!
Ru: Ah? Ah?
He is holding a toy
Narration: Ru-kun, an alien that knows how to fly
Miyu: Give it back! It’s my important toy!
(She runs by Kanata, who got hit by her)
Narration: Kanata Saionji, only son of Saionji

Kanata: What’s wrong?
(Outside, Wannya is doing laundry)
Wannya: Ah, a beautiful morning!
Miyu: Ru, I finally got you!
Ru: Ah! Da!
(He accidentally let the toy fly through the air. It flies toward Wannya and makes him drop the clothes line, or should I say sticks them on himself)
Miyu: Huh? Narration: Wannya, babysitter of Ru

Later, breakfast table
Kanata: Oh great, a fight in the beginning of the day. It’s only a toy…
Miyu: What “only a toy”? It’s the admission to the amusement park!
Wannya: Is it Future World, Miyu?
Kanata: Future World?
Miyu: I won it! It also gives you a night at the hotel. (Wannya holds up book with info on it, the TV happen to be advertising for it)
Kanata: Is that it? Wannya: Yep!
Miyu sees Ru really likes the place and says: So Ru-kun likes it too. Why don’t we go together?
Wannya: Yeah… And I’m stuck watching the house again right? (He has this sad face on) I’m like a house keeper, make lunch for Miyu, do the laundry for Miyu, and make dinner for Miyu…
Miyu: Then… why don’t you go?
(Wannya smiles happily instead of that sad look)

August 28th
Wannya: Bye-bye!
(He changed into a fully-grown man) Miyu: Wannya! You have to take real good care of Ru-kun!
Kanata: Also, don’t let anyone find out about you two
Wannya: Don’t worry, we’ll be back tomorrow evening!
Miyu: WA! I’m the one who won the tickets!
Kanata: All right then, today I can finally relax!

(From then to until 12:25, Kanata reads a book and Miyu eats a Popsicle.) Narration: Why is it so quiet? Just because Wannya and Ru isn’t here, this place is so quiet… I should say something…
Miyu: Hey Kanata!
Kanata: Huh?
Miyu: Um, um…
Narration: Ah! I don’t know what to talk about!
(She just smile cutely at him)
Narration: Come to think of it, the only day Kanata and I were alone was the day I came here…
Miyu: Ah… Oh yeah, can I watch TV?
Kanata: Uh-huh.
Miyu: I wonder what’s on right now…
TV: We are finally alone!
(The two kiss, Miyu look shocked)
She changes the channel
Miyu: Let me see if there are some others…
(Everything on TV has something to do with a boy and girl liking each other.)

(Miyu isn’t taking this too well, she closes the TV)
Narration: What… What should I say? I can’t think of anything
(Then Kanata gets up)
Kanata: I’m hungry, let’s go buy something.
Miyu: Sure!

At the supermarket
Narration: Did he tell me to come here because realized what I felt? It couldn’t be…
Miyu: Kanata? What do you want to eat?
Kanata: Anything is fine with me.
Narration: That’s the most annoying answer, you don’t know what they want…
Miyu: How about curry?
Kanata: Fine.
Miyu: What about rice with fried shrimp?
Kanata: That’s fine too.
(Miyu hits Kanata)
Kanata: That hurt! What do you want?
Miyu: Never mind! I’ll decide by myself.
(She realizes something)
Narration: Kanata… He never talks about himself… I don’t even know he likes… Even when he’s with a girl, he never worries… I should know more about him since we live together…

Miyu: What do you like to eat?
Kanata: Nothing
Miyu: Come on!
Kanata: No thank you!
Miyu (mad): You listen and you listen good! If you don’t tell me anything, I’ll never know what you want!
Kanata: Pumpkin.
Miyu: Huh?
Kanata: I… I love pumpkins!

Narration: Kanata + Pumpkin
Miyu: Ha! They don’t mix!
Kanata: That’s why I don’t want to tell you!
Miyu: Wait! Wannya’s not here today, so I’ll make a pumpkin dinner for you!

At the house
Narration: Even though I said that, I never made something out of pumpkin…
(She cuts the pumpkin, then comments if to hard to cut. After a long cooking, she doesn’t look very happy)
Narration: Why am I so bad? Even though I tried so hard, still…
Kanata: You are so slow!
Miyu: AHHHH!
Kanata: It’s been two hours!
Narration: Oh no!
Kanata: What’s wrong?

(Miyu tries her hardest to prevent Kanata from seeing the pumpkin ‘cause it’s not a pretty sight.)
Miyu: Just wait for another while! It’ll be better then…
(Kanata pushes her out of the way, he sees the pot that contains the pumpkin)
Miyu: No! That’s because… It’s because I never cooked pumpkins before. I thought if I make it, it’ll come out fine… Don’t worry, I’ll do another one, there’s one left!
(Kanata tastes the soup)

Miyu: NOOO!
Kanata: Even though it looks awful, it tastes good. Since there’s another pumpkin, let’s make it together!
Miyu: All right!
(They made a nice dinner together)
Narration: Today… I saw the other side of Kanata
Kanata: I’m full!
TV: The next news is… The astronaut Ms. Kouzuki is doing fine in NASA. The rumor says she might come back to Japan for a while…
Kanata: Oh yeah, does your mom know about my dad not here?
Miyu: Uh-huh. Your uncle told her I think. But mom never worries about anything, so she wouldn’t think anything is wrong. If mom will come to visit, we have to think something to hide Ru from her.

Miyu: I’m so tired…
Narration: Ru and Wannya are probably having a blast…
(She hears something and walks outside to check it out. A person in strange costume walks to her) Miyu: AHHHHHHHHH!
Kanata: What’s wrong?
Miyu grabs her shirt
Miyu: There… Someone’s out there!
Kanata: What do you want?
(The person walks right by them and sits down in the kitchen)

Kanata: Wait!
The stranger walks over, puts her hand on Miyu and asks: Are you two going out?
Miyu and Kanata: Huh?
Person: You still don’t know? I even wore NASA’s clothes
Miyu: MOM?!
Mom: How are you Miyu?
