Be happy, dance the rumba, Hare+Guu
Dearly with a tantalizing swing of the hips
Love, Love, with you, so Tropical
What a paradise! Hare+Guu
My girl, be careful in the summer
The hook of love is unhooked
Sneaking by on their tippy-toes
The suspicious shadow... Who is it?
Lookin' really nice!
The heart pounds a beat!
A kiss is a must-have item for love
The world is rotten, the world is diseased
The world is *BEEP*... rise in arms, the baby
*BEEP* everything, the box is already empty
There is no such thing as a *BEEP*
and by the way, I'm tired
The rumba that makes the eye teary, Hare+Guu DELUXE!
No, no, not now, Yes right there DELUXE!
Passion at 100 degrees celcius, What a huge burn DELUXE!
Just so dizzying, Hare+Guu DELUXE!
With wet lips, the rumba, Hare+Guu DELUXE!
Touch, be touched, so embarrassing DELUXE!
Love, Love, with you, so Tropical DELUXE!
What a paradise! Hare+Guu DELUXE!
It's presence can sometimes be felt without warning.
It's here.
I can't say exactly where, but I'm sure it's here.
IT. Right now. In this room.
I know that it's just a mere insect, but I'm still frightened by IT.
Why so much, for something as trivial as a bug? Why do I have so much hatred?
It's called brainwashing.
THE BLACK, HARD, GLISTENING CREATURE THAT LIKES DARK, NARROW, DAMP PLACES AND IS RATHER FAST
Hare, do you hate beetles too?
A beetle is completely different from IT.
They're both insects, yet you hate IT. Do you know why that is?
I've never thought about it.
Or rather, I don't even want to think about it.
It's a difference in image.
Beetles, as a general image, are described as
"strong," "awesome," "the king of the forest," etc.
But, when it comes to IT, you have "scary", "filthy", "disgusting"... right?
Well, I guess so.
However, that image is nothing more than something imprinted into your brain from childhood.
Nothing more than brainwashing!
You think so?
Of course.
Just think about it. What do you know about IT?
In other words, anxiety caused by ignorance amplifies one's disgust for IT, don't you think?
That may be the case, but I'm totally okay with continuing to hate IT.
Therefore, I have invited a wonderful guest from underneath the desk.
Guest? Under the desk?
Geez, what is it---
There's some people I don't know here.
Our guest. Now, move to a dark place.
Eh? Why?
They have a hard time dealing with brighly lit areas.
Huh?
They can't possibly be IT! What are you talking about?
No, they are IT.
Creatures that are black, hard, and glistening, that like dark, narrow, damp places, and are rather quick on their feet.
We're not talking about something in a dream here.
I hear that if this is a dream, you'd feel no pain. So how does it feel?
Hello.
H-Hello...
She said they were IT, but that can't be true.
They must be just playing along with Guu's game.
There sure are bored people out there in the world.
Where have you guys come from?
We've been living here for a while now.
By the way, it's been right around three months since I was born.
I-I-I-Impossible... They're really IT!?
Isn't it romantic that you can talk to insects?
That depends on which bug I'm talking to!
Now now, undo the brainwashing, undo the brainwashing...
That's right!
In the first place, what part of IT am I scared of?
If they've taken the shape of people, they're not all that disgusting.
May as well ask.
Um.... T-T-This...
Well, I don't think at all that we can be amicable towards each other, so I don't mind.
To answer this question, "How many are here?"...
Right now, including us, there are 65 siblings living in this house.
65!?!?
No good!
With my fear being put into a tangible number, my anxiety is only growing!
Come now, that's the brainwashing.
No, no! I should ask something more friendly.
Um, what are your parents like?
They were murdered by your mother.
This makes it sound like Mom is a hideous person...
Shows that you shouldn't personify things too much.
-Well, the brother is talking naturally, so he seems fine... -Actually, there were more siblings, but they were murdered one after another.
If your mother catches sight of us, we most surly lose our lives.
-But what gets to me... -If your mother catches sight of us, we most surly lose our lives.
-... she looks like she's about to burst into tears. -If your mother catches sight of us, we most surly lose our lives.
U-Um... it seems like Mom did some awful things, and, um...
Not really. Those that got killed were just too weak.
Oh no!
Actually, I'm glad that they died.
No good! I need to switch to a happier conversation topic!
Hey, hey... how come you guys can run so quickly?
If you have any tips or secrets, I'd like to know!
There's not much behind it.
The slow ones die. As a result, the ones that are quick survive.
I-I see...
As humans kill us off with all sorts of methods, we develop genes for a more powerful creature.
I wish I hadn't asked...
Then, we'll be going home now.
Sure, sure. Thanks for your hard work.
Yoishotto!
Wait... the bath!?
I'm back!
Oh, I've worked up a sweat!
A bath, a bath!
Mom, wait a sec...!
I'm going now!
Why!?
Well, Mom made such a fuss yesterday...
I take it you were okay?
I got out in the nick of time.
I see! Then, your other siblings are also okay?
That's good! Damn that woman, she failed!
My appearance seems to have greatly confused you.
Yes, yes, exactly what you said!
Most likely, I'm the only one that survivied.
I'm sure all of the other siblings have been eradicated.
Then, then that brother that was with her yesterday also...
That means, this one is all alone now...
If they died at this level, trying to live on would have been pointless anyway.
Exactly!
Man, this one really scares me!
Then, since I'm in a hurry..!
Wait.
You're going to a place called "school," right?
Yes, I am, what of it?
I want to go too.
I see, so she's a guest of Hare's household?
Where did you come from?
Are you going to stay here a while?
How did things end up being so scary?
Since I don't have any comrades left in your house...
...I'm thinking about marrying into some other suitable family.
To do so, I need to get a clue about what house is a good place, at the school, where many people gather.
That's how this happened. What's so scary about this is...
I see, then you're going to leave my house now!
...that I was so happy. That frightens me the most!
Such a Hare can remain here.
Guu...
A character named Hare, who's vulgar and selfish -- unfit for a children's anime!
I'm such a--
Hey, everyone, do you all clean your rooms often?
Oh, she's scoping them out, scoping them out..
Well, yeah, I think I clean up often.
That's right! Everyone is rather neat.
I keep fairly clean...
Gupta's place is pretty messy.
That's right, the missus was scolding him to clean up after himself yesterday.
D-Don't listen in on us!
I can't help it since I live next door.
It's all that old hag's fault! She complains right when I'm about to do it!
-P-Perhaps, this means... -It's all that old hag's fault! She complains right when I'm about to do it!
-P-Perhaps, this means... -So you haven't done it after all?
Shut up! It's none of your business!
-...she's decided upon her new home? -Shut up! It's none of your business!
-...she's decided upon her new home? -In the first place, it's not like having a slightly messy room will kill you!
In the first place, it's not like having a slightly messy room will kill you!
Hey...
Can I visit your room?
Um, I...
...for quite a while now, you have been--
I'm sorry, did you wait long?
Now, let's go!
Geez! Where are you looking?
Oh, you have a bit of your lunch on your cheek...
You're really such a child...
You know...
Can I visit your room right now...?
Can I visit? Can I visit? Can I visit?
Hey, aren't you taking things way out of order!?
B-Bu-But, t-t-things like this should be for w- w-when we get to know each other better...
-That's a really tedious and time-consuming way of showing your shock... -B-Bu-But, t-t-thi ngs like this should be for w- w-when we get to know each other better...
-And, he's totally confused by the situation. -B-Bu-But, t-t-things like this should be for w- w-when we get to know each other better...
-Isn't it all right, just to show her your room? -B-Bu-But, t-t-things like this should be for w- w-when we get to know each other better...
Isn't it all right, just to show her your room?
Maybe she fell in love at first sight.
But, she seems to have a sort of strangeness about her... somewhat scary.
No, this in of itself has a very mystical charm... She might be cute that way...
I'm only showing you my room, okay?
Gupta's more open to things that come his way than I thought.
Well, I guess it can't be helped when you're so young.
Wait, and how old are you?
What, you guys tagged along, too?
Y-Yeah, I got a little worried...
What's up with that?
I won't do anything to her, really!
No, that's not what I'm worried about...
It is my responsibility after all, that things turned out this way...
Wait here for a second, I'll go clean up in a jiffy.
Wait.
I don't care if it's messy.
I want to see it just the way it is.
I want to see you just the way you are...
J-Just the way i-i-it i-i-i-is...?
-Gupta's getting more and more pitiful... -J-Just the way i-i-it i-i-i-is...?
T-T-T-Then, I'll go g-g-get something to d-drink...
...so you can g-go on inside the room ahead of me.
Oh!
This is a pretty high-level of disorder...
How is it? Are any of your friends around?
There is one. I feel one around here.
But, where is it?
Look below you.
Below?
You know, my heart would be much more at ease if I found IT in its normal form...
Oh, but this is your brother from yesterday!
I see, he was still alive...
This is surely a tear-jerking reunion...
Oh, you're still alive?
Yeah.
There has never in history been such a simple reunion scene as this one.
How is this room?
I think it's pretty good.
There is plenty of food around.
There doesn't seem to be a lack of places to hide, either.
-But, the fact that the brother is alive means... -There doesn't seem to be a lack of places to hide, either.
-But, the fact that the brother is alive means... -Yeah, and there seems to be nobody already occupying this place.
-...that they don't have to get out of my house, where they're accustomed to living... -Yeah, and there seems to be nobody already occupying this place.
-...that they don't have to get out of my house, where they're accustomed to living... -Then, it should be no problem if we make free use of this place.
Then, it should be no problem if we make free use of this place.
That's true, but...
It's okay. I like a vulgar and selfish person like that!
Wait a minute, both of you!
That's right, I haven't been thinking straight!
Even if IT is scary and disgusting, I can't dump it onto one of my friends!
That's why... That's why I'm going to say it.
"Why don't you guys come back to my house?"
Y-You know...!
...It's nothing.
Well, last night, in my room, I found creatures that were black, hard, glistening and like dark, narrow, damp places yet were rather fast on their feet!
So I was totally cleaning up all night!
They're scary after all.
You have to clean your room often.
I will, I will, I honestly will!!
Since then, the whereabouts of those two siblings remain a mystery.
But knowing them, I'm sure that they're hiding away somewhere.
That is what I think.
And the day when we can peacefully coexist must be approaching.
No, you don't need to think that far ahead.
