Episode 8 -  Days of Living Cheek-by-jowl
  zakkyo jidai
  zakkyo jidai
Dub title - Meet the Parents
First aired - 22nd May 2002

'Rise' and shine...A new day dawns at Amane's house, and Seina's training continues apace. Kiriko goes to wake Seina and finds him sleeping soundly. She throws his bedcovers off, only to discover to her horror Seina's inadvertent state of arousal, for which he receives a slap in the face! Breakfast that morning is therefore a rather tense affair, as Kiriko and Seina sit at the table in embarrassed silence. However, the situation is inflamed when Amane appears at the table in her underwear and drapes herself over Seina. The enraged Kiriko scolds her and tells her to cover up, thrusting her apron at her. But when Amane puts it on the sight of her in a bra, panties and an apron proves just too much for Seina, especially when she tries to feed him mouth-to-mouth! The tension in the house fails to recede that morning when Seina accidentally sees Amane on the toilet (again a deliberate attempt by her to embarrass him and enrage Kiriko). Kiriko is worried about leaving Seina alone with her, but Elma has fitted a camera to NB, Seina's helper robot, to keep an eye on them while they go to work.

Amane auditions for the Pirelli calendarWith Kiriko and Elma gone, Seina begins his latest training exercise. As Amane told him, the best way to become accustomed to his modified body is just ordinary day-to-day life, so she gets him to clean the house. As Seina mops the floor, Amane performs a few adjustments to NB to give it a more interesting personality. When Seina spots Amane bending over wearing tight shorts, he becomes so distracted that he crashes into a wall. Amane realises the cause of his distraction and goes out of her way to put him off, posing in extremely provocative ways, each time causing Seina to lose control, and she finishes with a steamy coup de grâce that sends him crashing through a window!

Meanwhile, at the Academy, Kiriko passes Seina's roommates, Kenneth and Rajau, in the corridor. They are discussing how lucky Seina is to be alone with Amane, and must be getting "better acquainted" with her. This only serves to incite her paranoia, and she rushes back to the house to check up on them.

Seina continues cleaning the house, now scrubbing the bathroom with Amane sitting brazenly naked in the tub. Having learned his lesson from earlier, Seina tries to avoid looking at her. Just then, the doorbell rings. Seiryo has decided to pay a visit under the pretence of checking up on Seina's progress (but he really wants to see Amane). NB, who has acquired an unpleasant "dirty old man" persona after Amane's modifications, leads him eagerly to the bathroom. They find the bathroom empty; Amane has pre-empted Seiryo's attempt to catch her in the nude, and she steps out behind him and kicks him out of the window! With Seiryo out of the way, she goes to drag Seina back to the bathroom to continue his cleaning, but she slips over and pulls him over as well. Meet the KaunaqsJust then, Kiriko bursts through the door to find Seina lying on top of Amane and jumps to a rather obvious conclusion. Seina is about to explain when a man and a woman appear at the door. Amane sits up with a start; her parents have come to visit! Mr Kaunaq, who has always resented his daughter for becoming a policewoman, explains he has come to take her back home. Amane, as stubborn as ever, refuses to listen and takes Seina outside to continue his training.

At the Academy, Kenneth and Rajau discuss Kiriko's absence, jealously imagining her, Amane and Seina in the same bed together. Elma overhears them and, letting her doubts get the better of her, rushes back to the house.

Back at Amane's house, Seina presses on with his training, this time stacking concrete blocks. As Mr Kaunaq watches, he wonders about the apparent relationship between Amane and Seina, and NB drops them both in it by telling him that Seina is not only having an affair with her, but with Kiriko and Elma as well! Mr Kaunaq becomes more determined than ever to bring his daughter home, but Mrs Kaunaq thinks Seina seems like a nice person and doesn't want to interfere.

She really does careMeanwhile, Elma drives at top speed back to the house. She is so fixated on the idea of Seina, Kiriko and Amane in bed together that she doesn't even notice Seiryo stagger in front of her car. He gets catapulted into the air and comes crashing down outside Amane's house, flattening poor Seina. Amane rushes to Seina's aid, and for the first time she has shown genuine concern for his well-being. Amane's parents decide to let Amane stay in the Galaxy Police. Mr Kaunaq is delighted to see how his daughter acts less tomboyish when she is with Seina, and Mrs Kaunaq only wants to see her daughter is happy.

Later that day, Seina finds Amane standing on the balcony watching the sea. She apologises for causing him such embarrassment and being a poor teacher. Seina tells her not to worry, and he assures her that he likes living with her. Even though he is far from Earth, he tells her, it feels like a home because of the people around him. Amane goes on to tell Seina that although she didn't hate being a model, she could never have found out her true capabilities if she hadn't joined the Galaxy Police. Seiryo spoils the moment by turning up and challenging Seina to a duel, but Amane quickly gets rid of him by tossing him into the sea!

At lunch, Amane finally gets round to asking Kiriko and Elma why they have left work so early. Naturally, they both make excuses, but pretty poor ones! Kiriko asks how Seina's training is progressing, and Amane tells her he is almost past the first stage. NB chips in by offering to show them his recording of Amane's efforts. Kiriko and Elma are furious to see her earlier exhibitionism. To make matters worse, Amane's parents turn up again hoping to join them for lunch, and NB offers to show them his tape as well!

That evening, Seina is taking a bath when Kiriko enters and offers to scrub his back. Moments later, Amane and Elma both appear from other entrances and to offer him a similar level of personal attention. Overwhelmed, poor Seina suffers a spontaneous nosebleed and sinks gurgling beneath the water!

At breakfast the next day, Seina notices that Kiriko and Elma haven't changed into their work clothes. Kiriko explains that they have both got the day off work, and intend to keep a very close eye on them both today!

<< Episode 7 - Living Together

Fact! NB and NabeshinSeina's helper robot NB, who acquires a voice along with his distinctly perverted personality in this episode, is played by Shin'ichi Watanabe, who also directs the series. Watanabe is well-known for appearing in his own shows, playing the character of Nabeshin in Excel Saga and Puni Puni Poemi. The name Nabeshin, which was also the director's nickname in school, is derived from Watanabe Shin'ichi, and NB's name is a contraction of this.
