What's wrong, Sister? You're bleeding all over the place!

Oh please, Sister.

Why must you continue to cause trouble?

Could you kindly hurry up and get out of my sight?

Rec, time to go.

What about the errand? We didn't just come here for eggs and milk, did we?

Our mission is complete.

That's it?

I thought you said we were getting some heavy cargo.

Rec.

It's up to you now.

You're the cargo?!

Are you okay, Sister? You seem to be in pain.

So she does have some compassion.

I'm so worried.

We're leaving now.

So cute!

Sister, what happened back there? You were fine up until the end.

No, it's just that my expression doesn't change.

It was a core component of my anti-torture training.

Could you please not mention things like that so casually?

But when I'm subjected to severe mental trauma,

my old battle wound opens back up.

You really need to stop being so nonchalant about this stuff!

Well, now I understand why you bleed like that.

But she wasn't really being that mean at the end.

It wouldn't bother me if she called me boring.

Sister, do you actually have a thing for Maria?

Sister, what's that?

Sister, was that a hand grenade?!

Sorry, Rec. You should go on without me.

Sister, what's going on?

Sister...

I know you want to crawl into a hole and die right now.

But you can't just go around making your own!

Now that the cake mix is taken care of, next come the vegetables.

Sister said I could find some around here.

A vegetable garden!

Wow, who could be growing these?

Hi there.

I don't recognize her, but she seems pretty normal.

Does she really live down here?

You...

You're a ninja, aren't you?

Don't play dumb!

Otherwise, you would've fallen right into the trap I set out front!

That's bananas.

I'm sorry, but...

Nobody slips on these things anymore, not even in comedies.

That's a lie!

They must be broken!

Broken?

Because normally...

Even the slightest touch—

Whaaa?!

Hey!

What is this?

A super combo?!

Oops!

Are you okay?

You might have a conc—

Sorry 'bout that! I was trying to dodge a stray cat and my delivery fell off the tray!

Look.

Now do you see the power of the banana peel?

That's just too cheesy!

The garden girl was the most clichéd clumsy-girl stereotype ever.

You're horrible.

You tricked me into thinking it was broken.

It was a trap, wasn't it? A reverse-trap!

No way! I couldn't pull that off even if I wanted to!

That voice... is that P-ko?

Don't act like you know me, you charlatan!

Sorry.

Nino, you'll never believe it. This girl—

Nino!

Ahh, I'm so glad to see you!

It's been a while, huh?

Did you just get back?

I should have known you two would be friends.

Oh, Rec. This is P-ko.

I'm so happy! It's been too long!

P-ko grows all the vegetables for everyone under the bridge.

All of them? So then this garden really is hers.

I travel around during the winter to search for new seeds.

Maybe you'd be more comfortable with a yellow scarf and harmonica.

So, Nino... who is this guy?

Is he some outsider? I hate him so much!

That's Rec. He's my lover.

Him?

Whatever. I'm used to feeling unwelcome.

This dork? He looks like some diseased eggplant.

Diseased eggplant?

That's too harsh!

Seriously, him? He doesn't deserve you. You've got hair like the finest golden corn!

Boy, that's one heck of a compliment.

You're embarrassing me.

Her metaphors could use some work. Whatever, I'm over it.

Oh well. If Nino picked you, you must have some kind of nice flavor.

Here's to our first meeting!
Bell peppers are my specialty.
P-ko...
Sorry.
I hate bell peppers.
Really?
They're too bitter!
Plus, they're completely hollow inside. It's like they're trying to rip me off.
You're awful.
How could you say such things right in front of them?
It's not like they wanted to grow up to be bitter!
They were just born that way! They can't help it!
I-I'm sorry!
You're right!
I mean, they're okay chopped up and mixed into a meatloaf! That's not too bad!
Wait, why am I even defending myself?
No. That's not good enough!
You have to...
An open hand?
love them all as one!
I prefer paprika.
Sorry! I messed up! I'm so sorry, Nino!
Paprika's pretty good.
I'm really sorry! I totally didn't mean to do that!
She's catastrophically clumsy!
Nino!
I'm so sorry, Nino! I didn't mean it!
There, there.
And that is why I try to avoid everyone under the bridge.
But she is a lady, after all. I should try to make her feel better.
Wow! These are truly amazing.
I've never seen such huge tomatoes!
What?
Of course they're amazing! My veggies are a worldwide sensation!
Ah, is that so?
Yup! Each one of them...
For example, Nino likes tomatoes, so...
As each one grows, I imagine the smiling faces of the people who will enjoy them later.
Oh?
Oh, but bell peppers are my favorite. So I've been growing them just for me.
But as of now, my goal is to grow a pepper that you can't help but fall in love with!
I guess she takes this pretty seriously.
I can't wait.
Now I understand.
This garden is made up of things suited exactly to each resident's taste.
No wonder there's such a variety.
Huh? Is that...
Is it just me, or is that a massive amount of cucumbers?
And what is she staring at?
Oh, did he come to soak his head-plate?
It wouldn't be long before I discovered the reason behind her gaze,
as well as all those cucumbers.
On one easy, breezy afternoon...
Today is Stella's welcome party.
This is incredible, Sister!
What the hell's with that doll?
Perfect for a loli creeper.
I love you, Sister!
Good for you, Stella!
Yup!
It's nice to see Stella smiling.
Yeah, you're right.
Whatever the occasion,
everyone here loves to throw parties.
Okay, time for the toast!
Cheers!
Okay! Now I have an announcement to make!
Apparently, Sister gave Stella her name.
As such, I won't be giving her a new name!
Huh? That's not right!
Nah, it's fine. Her name suits her.
Besides...
I'm feeling super lazy today.
I just wanna relax and have a few drinks.
How can you say that?
She's the only one without a new name. She's gonna feel left out!
Rec...
If you won't do it, I'll think of one myself.
How about Lu Bu, or Ma Chao? Red Hare might be good, too.
You expect me to approve such violent names?
Damn... that was my chance to get a little revenge on Stella.
Man, let it go. Sister came up with her name.
Right?
Uh-huh. I stayed up for three nights straight thinking about it.
Trying to choose between Cobra, Hind, and Stella—it was nearly impossible.
Why would you even consider the names of attack helicopters to begin with?
Nevertheless, the decision's been made.
Stella! Go ahead and introduce yourself.
Okay!
I'm pleased to meet you, everyone! I'm Stella!
I've only been in Japan—here under the bridge—for a little while,
so still I have a lot to learn.
But I'll do my best!
She's so cute!
Well, sure, when she acts like this.
I just hope I can become another member of the family under the bridge.
You're already like my baby sister!
She's trying to become some kind of mafia don!
Okay, okay!
The food's getting cold! Let's dig in!
Okay!
P-ko, your vegetables always look so tasty!
It's not just the looks, either!
Hey, there's a whole Cucumber Corner!
Wow, that's great.
Rec.
Today's main dish is the fish I caught.
Oh, really? Then I'm sure it'll be great.
Oh, Rec...
That's the one!
Well, here we g—
It took me two years, but I finally got him.
I feel a fishy storm of revenge coming on...
Okay, Rec, eat as much as you want.
Um, well... actually, I prefer the little fish you normally catch.
Really, these are great!
Stop being so picky.
Rec, I see you're enjoying Nino's offering.
And yet, you never partake of my Mass cookies.
Well, that's true. I refuse to be indebted to anyone.
But Nino is my lover, so I'm obliged to accept her acts of kindness.
Catching fish is my job, you know.
I do that for everyone down here.
It's your job?
Speaking of which, do you have a job yet, Rec?
Huh? Job?
Stop it, Sister. You shouldn't pick on him like that.
Maria?
It's okay, Rec. Don't worry about it.
You're you, right?
A parasite is a parasite.
Just keep living your life, and ask for forgiveness in the darkest depths of the world.
A parasite, huh?
Jeez, Maria's so brutal!
Well, he can mooch off of Nino because they're in love.
When you put it that way, it's kinda cute.
Yeah, sooo... cute.
Hey, uh... Rec. Quick question.
That look—
Is that your now-I'm-really-pissed-off face?
Thanks to Maria's comment, Rec displays his "angry" face for the very first time.
What now?
He's not moving.
What is he, a villain?
Perfect.
Who is he?
He's the shadow of death.
I have studied social etiquette since the day I was born.
I have already established multiple Fortune Global 500 companies.
I am the future president of one of the world's largest conglomerates!
How am l a parasite?!
Calm down, Rec! You're losing it!
Yeah. Don't sweat it, Rec. I'm doing this because I want to.
You can just go on enjoying yourself all you want.
What? That comment seemed perfectly tailored for an actual freeloader!
Be thankful you have such a generous girlfriend.
What the hell?! I object to these accusations! Hoshi and Whitey eat her fish, too!
And they're not—
Welcome aboard, Stella!
You're super cute for sure! But I'm in love with that one-length hair!
What's with the serenading?
Huh? In love with it?
Hoshi's a musician. He handles the music for all of our parties.
You just made that up, right?
I don't know what you mean.
Yo, Rec. Does it piss you off to see my awesome side?
I'm Hoshi!
You know, like a star!
This has gotta be a joke.
I can't deny the possibility.
Hey, you two! Look at me!
Well...
We're almost out of firewood.
The Tetsujin Twins run the drum barrel bathhouse.
We can go get some more tomorrow.
Okay!
He's a hair stylist.
The bleach chemicals keep drying out my hands.
I'm thinking about switching brands next time.
That lady is an aesthetician.
Everyone's been so tense lately.
Tense muscles can really damage a woman's skin, you know?
Almost everyone here offers some kind of service, free of charge.
Did we just casually stroll past a bunch of absurd-looking people?
But the point is, we all do what we do because we want to.
You don't have to force yourself to do anything.
You keep making it sound like I really don't do anything!
Oopsie.
Oh, sorry, Rec. I was just so focused on my rice ball—
Whitey!
Even him?
He's been walking on his white line for the past six years,
even though he's got a family waiting for him.
Even he has a job?
No, it can't be. Not Whitey—
But! But he—
As for Whitey... I can't remember what it is he does.
Oh, me?
Don't wanna hear it!
Well, I...
I don't do anything. I just draw my lines.
You and me, Rec.
Man, since the day we met, I've felt like we had a kind of bond.
Time to get a job, dammit!
Huh? But why?
Rec, about our next major import product.
Yes?
I'm thinking about a mooch.
A... mooch?
A mooch.
Mooches are coming!
Moooch mooch moochie moooch moocher.
Father?
Moooch mooch moochie moooch moocher.
Father, what's wrong? Father. Father! Father!
Moooch mooch moochie moooch moocher!
FAAATHERRR!!!
Father!
A dream?
Why did I...
Moooch mooch moochie moooch moocher.
Moooch mooch moochie moooch moocher!
You seem to be in a rather good mood this morning, Hoshi.
Huh? Oh, Rec! You're up early.
Yeah, thanks to you. One swift kick...
Oh, well this awesome tune just suddenly jumped into my brain.
I wanted to practice somewhere with good acoustics, so here I am.
Although I wouldn't expect a mooch to understand such a feeling of accomplishment.
Yeah, you may be right. But this mooch is expecting his girlfriend to stop by any minute.
So could you get out of the way?
Are you talking about Nino?
She won't be coming over today.
Because today... is the day of my performance!
Huh?
Here you go. I figured I'd hand-deliver your invitation.
A live show?
I had no idea this was happening!
Hell yes! Live performances are my bread and butter.
Nino comes to all of my shows, you know.
After I stop by to remind her, anyway.
Surely even you realize just how much the ladies love musicians, right?
A musician versus some boring corporate suit? Easy choice.
You see, our tormented souls are just deeper than those of people like you.
Well, it won't be long before she gets sick of her one-trick pretty-boy pony.
Oh, so you don't even have the stones to put up a fight?
Seriously, what does Nino see in—
Hey, Hoshi!
You've got a point. Musicians are just so much cooler, right?
And that's why I am forever perfect!
Some air guitar airhead versus a truly elite musical artist?
Which is more appealing? The choice is obvious.
Honestly... you are the most unlikeable person in the world.
Part of my prodigal education was studying all the classics.
In fact, I'm also quite adept at both piano and shamisen.
I never realized! I had no idea musicians were so popular.
Now I understand another reason why I'm so well-loved.
What do you think Nino will say when she sees this side of me?
Don't make me laugh. But if you insist...
Let's battle!
Here comes a pun.
Love letter, blood letter.
Nino, you can bend a man to your will simply by seizing his stomach.
First, you dig in!
Dig in!
Then shove your fist into his diaphragm!
Shove!
Next time, on 6 BRIDGE!
6 BRIDGE!
You got it! You just pulled off a flawless stomach seize!

Is that your now-I'm-really-pissed-off face?
Thanks to Maria's comment, Rec displays his "angry" face for the very first time.
What now?
He's not moving.
What is he, a villain?
Perfect.
Who is he?
He's the shadow of death.
I have studied social etiquette since the day I was born.
I have already established multiple Fortune Global 500 companies.
I am the future president of one of the world's largest conglomerates!
How am I a parasite?!
Calm down, Rec! You're losing it!
Yeah. Don't sweat it, Rec. I'm doing this because I want to.
You can just go on enjoying yourself all you want.
What? That comment seemed perfectly tailored for an actual freeloader!
Be thankful you have such a generous girlfriend.
What the hell?! I object to these accusations! Hoshi and Whitey eat her fish, too!
And they're not—
Welcome aboard, Stella!
You're super cute for sure! But I'm in love with that one-length hair!
What's with the serenading?
Huh? In love with it?
Hoshi's a musician. He handles the music for all of our parties.
You just made that up, right?
I don't know what you mean.
Yo, Rec. Does it piss you off to see my awesome side?
I'm Hoshi!
You know, like a star!
This has gotta be a joke.
I can't deny the possibility.
Hey, you two! Look at me!
Well...
We're almost out of firewood.
The Tetsujin Twins run the drum barrel bathhouse.
We can go get some more tomorrow.
Okay!
He's a hair stylist.
The bleach chemicals keep drying out my hands.
I'm thinking about switching brands next time.
That lady is an aesthetician.
Everyone's been so tense lately.
Tense muscles can really damage a woman's skin, you know?
Almost everyone here offers some kind of service, free of charge.
Did we just casually stroll past a bunch of absurd-looking people?
But the point is, we all do what we do because we want to.
You don't have to force yourself to do anything.
You keep making it sound like I really don't do anything!
Oopsie.
Oh, sorry, Rec. I was just so focused on my rice ball—
Whitey!
Even him?
He's been walking on his white line for the past six years,
even though he's got a family waiting for him.
Even he has a job?
No, it can't be. Not Whitey—
But! But he—
As for Whitey... I can't remember what it is he does.
Oh, me?
Don't wanna hear it!
Well, I...
I don't do anything. I just draw my lines.
You and me, Rec.
Man, since the day we met, I've felt like we had a kind of bond.
Time to get a job, dammit!
Huh? But why?
Rec, about our next major import product.
Yes?
I'm thinking about a mooch.
A... mooch?
A mooch.
Mooches are coming!
Moooch mooch moochie moooch moocher.
Father?
Moooch mooch moochie moooch moocher.
Father, what's wrong? Father. Father! Father!
Moooch mooch moochie moooch moocher!
FAAATHERRR!!!
Father!
A dream?
Why did I...
Moooch mooch moochie moooch moocher.
Moooch mooch moochie moooch moocher!
You seem to be in a rather good mood this morning, Hoshi.
Huh? Oh, Rec! You're up early.
Yeah, thanks to you. One swift kick...
Oh, well this awesome tune just suddenly jumped into my brain.
I wanted to practice somewhere with good acoustics, so here I am.
Although I wouldn't expect a mooch to understand such a feeling of accomplishment.
Yeah, you may be right. But this mooch is expecting his girlfriend to stop by any minute.
So could you get out of the way?
Are you talking about Nino?
She won't be coming over today.
Because today... is the day of my performance!
Huh?
Here you go. I figured I'd hand-deliver your invitation.
A live show?
I had no idea this was happening!
Hell yes! Live performances are my bread and butter.
Nino comes to all of my shows, you know.
After I stop by to remind her, anyway.
Surely even you realize just how much the ladies love musicians, right?
A musician versus some boring corporate suit? Easy choice.
You see, our tormented souls are just deeper than those of people like you.
Well, it won't be long before she gets sick of her one-trick pretty-boy pony.
Oh, so you don't even have the stones to put up a fight?
Seriously, what does Nino see in—
Hey, Hoshi!
You've got a point. Musicians are just so much cooler, right?
And that's why I am forever perfect!
Some air guitar airhead versus a truly elite musical artist?
Which is more appealing? The choice is obvious.
Honestly... you are the most unlikeable person in the world.
Part of my prodigal education was studying all the classics.
In fact, I'm also quite adept at both piano and shamisen.
I never realized! I had no idea musicians were so popular.
Now I understand another reason why I'm so well-loved.
What do you think Nino will say when she sees this side of me?
Don't make me laugh. But if you insist...
Let's battle!
Here comes a pun.
Love letter, blood letter.
Nino, you can bend a man to your will simply by seizing his stomach.
First, you dig in!
Dig in!
Then shove your fist into his diaphragm!
Shove!
Next time, on 6 BRIDGE!
6 BRIDGE!
You got it! You just pulled off a flawless stomach seize!
