"Just a little longer." "Yes." "Are you all right?" "!" "Yosho..." "I'll always be right here." "It's Just like a carpet of cherry blossoms!" "But it's going to be hard to sweep them all up!" "Right, Tenchi?" "Yeah." "But if I don't clean them up properly the first time it'll only be hard later on." "A camellia..." "Gazing at the camellia drifting for the river..." "Gazing, gazing..." "Never tiring of its sight." "The beautiful spring field among the small mountains." "The cherry blossom is also great, but the camellia has elegance." "Come on." "Let me borrow it!" "It's mine!" "Shut up!" "You haven't done a thing!" "That's funny, coming from you!" "Say what?" "!" "Oh, so sorry." "That wasn't on purpose." "Oops, how clumsy!" "It was purely accidental." "Why, you...!" "Wanna fight?" "!" "You're on!" "Oh, brother." "Those two...!" "Ryoko!" "Ayeka!" "Give it a rest, would you?" "Tenchi, Ayeka stepped on my foot!" "Why not start at the beginning?" "!" "You're trying to steal my broom!" "What's your problem?" "!" "It was on the ground!" "How can you say that?" "!" "I'm the one who put it there!" "Ryoko, why don't you just let it go?" "What?" "!" "Are you saying I'm wrong?" "!" "No, that's not it." "Then you mean I'm wrong?" "!" "No..." "Then which one is it?" "!" "Which...?" "That's right!" "This is a perfect opportunity!" "Choose between us!" "Choose?" "It's obvious, isn't it?" "Choose between Ryoko and I." "This sounds interesting!" "How did I get mixed up in this...?" "Because you can't speak your mind, that's how!" "Come on." "Tell this space pirate to go back where she came from!" "Just what I was gonna tell YOU!" "Calm down, you two!" "Huh?" "Which do you choose?" "Um...uh..." "Oh!" "A bear came out of hibernation and is airing out its futon!" "Huh?" "Tenchi!" "Tenchi, get back here!" "What a drag." "Why does this always happen to me?" "!" "Tenchi..." "Come with me." "Tenchi!" "Tenchi!" "Tenchi!" "And that's how Tenchi vanished, right before our very eyes." "Tenchi Forever" "Just like you, Professor Washu!" "Going to the trouble of forging Science Academy ID cards!" "It's so real-looking!" "Mihoshi!" "You fool!" "Huh?" "What's that, Kiyone?" "Oh, you dimwit!" "Ryo-Ohki!" "Thank you." "Princess!" "Princess!" "You have returned." "To the royal family room." "Father." "Nobuyuki." "I've submitted the missing persons report for Tenchi." "I see." "Autumn has already arrived." "Half a year has passed." "Already half a year." "If only he could send word that he's okay." "If something were to happen to Tenchi, what would I..." "Nobuyuki." "Tenchi isn't such a weak man." "You must believe in Tenchi." "Father..." "So we have no leads?" "We'll have to use this and take the search one step at a time." "Good afternoon." "What would you like?" "Um..." "I'll have a Japanese Salisbury steak lunch and a chicken gratin." "Okay." "Let me get this right." "That's one Japanese Salisbury steak lunch and one chicken gratin, right?" "Shall I bring your coffee first?" "Yes, please." "By Washu's estimation, he should be close." "Oh, well." "Just have to take this search one step at a time." "Ryoko!" "I'll take that off your salary!" "I'm pooped." "The bathhouse is only open until 1 0:00." "Not going tonight." "It's tiring, searching for Tenchi and working at the same time." "Can't complain." "They hired us on the spot, and luckily we're paid daily." "Never happened in the past." "You've got a point." "It's fall." "It's been half a year." "Realizing the Great Ambition" "We've been all over the place, searching for Tenchi." "Oh, well." "This is the end of our long Journey." "This time we'll find him!" "Yes, you're right." "Oops." "Time for our regular call." "How are you two?" "How's the search going?" "As they say, "The person you wait for never comes."" "According to my calculations, Tenchi's definitely in that town." "Well, keep on searching." "Yeah." "So, shall we hit the hay?" "Yeah, I guess." "Gotta get up early tomorrow, after all." "Ryoko!" "Ayeka!" "Where the heck am I...?" "What's going on?" "Wake up, Tenchi." "You'll be late for school." "The weather's great." "Are you awake?" "Yeah." "Morning, Haruna." "Haruna, have some of my persimmons." "Thanks, Granny." "Sorry to keep you." "Yup, it's definitely broken." "Tofu and fried tofu today, huh?" "Thanks for breakfast." "That's good." "There's lots, so eat up." "Huh?" "Didn't I tell you I hate fermented soy beans?" "Oh, is that so?" "Oh, well." "Have a good day!" "I want you to use Jurai's network to tune in to Tenchi, who's disappeared." "Tenchi..." "How long are you gonna keep on sleeping?" "How about looking for Tenchi a little?" "!" "Come on." "Quit bugging me." "I couldn't get a wink last night with you talking in your sleep." "H-How rude!" "You're the one who snores, and grinds her teeth!" "And worse, you fart, to boot!" "Fart, shmart." "Big deal." "There!" "He's close!" "Huh?" "Oh!" "Ryoko, over there!" "Driver!" "Stop!" "Tenchi!" "Damn!" "That's strange." "Ryoko!" "That was Tenchi for sure, right?" "Yes." "He looked a little more mature, though." "You lost him?" "!" "I was positive it was Tenchi, though..." "Why doesn't your path cross with Tenchi's, I wonder...?" "Looks like I'd better reorganize the data once more." "Hey!" "Washu!" "Washu!" "Miss Washu!" "You're not cold?" "No." "You must be tired." "I'm fine." "No, that's enough." "I'm pretty much done, anyway." "It's wonderful!" "It looks Just like me!" "Yeah?" "There's still something not quite realistic about it." "I love that drawing." "I love the drawing you did, Tenchi." "Don't flatter me." "I'm telling the truth." "Haruna..." "You're so warm." "Somehow..." "Somehow?" "It feels like this is all a dream." "A dream?" "Somehow, being with you like this..." "That's what it feels like." "It's not a dream." "It's not." "It isn't a dream." "Your hands are so big, Tenchi." "That's absurd!" "Yamamoto" "Damn, it's started raining." "Look at this!" "What?" "!" "When did you get that?" "Go pay for it!" "Sure!" "Hurry up!" "Haruna..." "What's the matter, little lost kitty?" "I thought maybe you'd already gone home." "What about work?" "I Just took a few minutes off." "Pretty irresponsible clerk." "Here." "That's okay." "What?" "Nothing." "Just thinking how cool you are." "Come on." "It's not nice to tease people." "Should we check out some rental agencies this afternoon?" "Yes, I suppose." "Are you mad because you got the smaller half?" "You dirty little...!" "Wonder what his dad and the others are doing now?" "I guess it's as if the flame has gone out for that household." "He's here for sure." "Sasami's gone to Jurai's imperial palace." "And Mihoshi and Kiyone are at the Science Academy." "And then there's us, here in a strange land." "Tenchi, you idiot!" "Where are you?" "!" "Yeah!" "You left us beautiful women behind!" "Where did you go to?" "!" "Forget about Ayeka!" "Just come back to me!" "Tenchi loves ME, you know!" "Geez, you're unbelievable!" "Wanna fight?" "Boy, we haven't had a fight for ages." "No." "Thanks, Ryoko." "Stop it." "He's nearby!" "Huh?" "Tenchi!" "I'll go ahead!" "Tenchi!" "Tenchi!" "Tenchi..." "Goddamn it!" "Ryoko!" "Who was that girl with Tenchi?" "How would I know?" "!" "Who was that girl?" "Ryoko." "Ryoko!" "Yes!" "Refills for the guys at the counter." "Huh?" "Oh!" "You too, huh, Ayeka?" "What's the matter with you?" "Nothing's wrong at all." "I'm Just a little tired." "Ow!" "Just leave this." "I'll take care of it." "I'm sorry." "Ayeka!" "Tenchi!" "Kiyone!" "Are you okay?" "!" "Be quiet, will you?" "!" "This is the host computer terminal, huh?" "Hacking into the dimension locking system of the Science Academy." "If I'm caught, I'll spend the rest of my life in prison." "I'm home!" "Tenchi?" "!" "Sorry, I must've worried you." "Tenchi!" "Tenchi!" "Ryoko." "Hmm?" "Who was she?" "Looking so amused." "Smiling so much." "Looking so happy." "Who did?" "That girl?" "No, Tenchi." "It was as if he'd completely forgotten about the past." "Does that girl mean that much to him?" "Enough to have obliterated his memory of us?" "Who is she?" "!" "Why is she with Tenchi?" "!" "I don't know." "How could I possibly know?" "But Tenchi's with her!" "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to yell." "You wanna go home?" "Huh?" "Wanna call it quits?" "That's okay, if you do." "Things might be Just how they looked to us." "I n the six months we didn't meet Tenchi might have fallen out of our grasp." "He might be living his life very happily." "Didn't you think he seemed much more mature?" "That girl...she was so pretty." "Ryoko..." "What do you think?" "Do you want to completely toss in the towel?" "Don't take it so hard." "With that tired looking face, you don't stand a chance against her." "Ryoko...you're so strong." "Don't be stupid." "Huh?" "That way!" "Tenchi!" "I'll get him this time!" "Look out!" "Shit!" "I lost him again!" "Ryoko." "I could almost start hating that guy." "Yeah." "Haruna." "Haruna!" "What happened to the drawing I had up here?" "It's torn down." "Did you tear it down?" "Why would you do something like that?" "!" "Haruna..." "What's the matter, Haruna?" "Are you crying?" "I'm sorry I yelled at you, Haruna." "It doesn't really matter." "It was Just a doodle, really." "I'm sorry." "Let's eat out;" "it'll cheer you up." "I really do like this design." "It's a little steep, though." "Wanna forget it, then?" "No, let's Just go ahead and get them!" "Really?" "!" "I love you, Tenchi!" "Would you like a refill?" "No, thanks." "En Joy yourselves." "Ayeka sure is in a good mood today!" "Interest you in a refill?" "Yes, please." "Coming up!" "How come you're so happy all of a sudden?" "What do you mean?" "This is what I'm really like." "Besides, we can't be sure that Tenchi won't show up here, right?" "Yeah, right." "Well, keep at it." "You won't get a higher wage, though." "Ryoko!" "The wage is the same, but you've gotta try your best!" "Or else...!" "I was Just kidding!" "Time to get back to work!" "Sorry to keep you waiting!" "I didn't order that." "No?" "Are you serious?" "Yeah..." "Oops, it was over here." "I got you two mixed up." "Now, let's get your order." "Huh?" "Wh-What the heck?" "!" "T-Tenchi!" "Tenchi!" "Haruna, I think we went a bit over our budget back there." "We've got to cut back our costs a bit." "Everything's fine." "Don't worry about money." "Huh?" "But your Job isn't exactly great." "Hey, look at this!" "These macaronis are stuck together." "How cute!" "Tenchi!" "Tenchi!" "Tenchi!" "Can't you hear me, Tenchi?" "!" "Man, girls sure are happy-go-lucky!" "Are macaronis stuck together really that funny?" "!" "I'm sorry." "Unreal." "I don't think he can see us!" "No!" "That couldn't be!" "Tenchi!" "What's going on?" "!" "Tenchi!" "Look at me, Tenchi!" "Ow!" "Tenchi!" "Tenchi, are you all right?" "You cow!" "Ryoko!" "Give Tenchi back!" "It's no use!" "Who are you?" "!" "Let's Just go home." "Yeah." "What is it?" "!" "They disappeared!" "What Just happened?" "!" "Haruna..." "Who is she?" "So this is where you were." "Azaka." "Kamidake." "You will be returning to Earth." "Yes." "I'm sorry you couldn't find any leads after coming all the way to Jurai." "Don't worry." "Tenchi will surely come home." "Yes." "Perhaps it's his destiny." "Master Yosho was the same." "What?" "Long ago, Yosho suddenly vanished right before our eyes." "Master Yosho did?" "He ran away with his love whom he was forbidden to marry." "He discarded the Jurai royal heiress and went on his Journey." "I'm sure her name was written as "Camellia."" "So that girl's name is Haruna!" "Yes." "This is quite the unexpected discovery!" "He was definitely there, right?" "Yes." "But Tenchi vanished." "How could this be?" "This whole thing is like a bad dream." "It'd be impossible to have a dream as bad as this!" "What in the world is going on?" "Somebody tell me!" "Hiya!" "Is everybody happy?" "!" "No, I guess not." "Maybe Tenchi disappeared right before your eyes, like a mist...?" "Washu!" "How did you know?" "Parallel world?" "Parallel world?" "Like the same world existing somewhere else?" "Yes." "A world that exists simultaneously with our world in the fourth dimension inspae." "To put it simply, it's like" "So you mean Tenchi isn't even in this world here anymore?" "But he keeps showing up and disappearing, though!" "Maybe his body hasn't anchored itself to the parallel world yet." "And that's why he sometimes pops back into this world." "But it's Haruna that keeps pulling him back to the parallel world." "That girl!" "So how can we bring Tenchi back?" "!" "First of all, we have to lock the two dimensions together." "Our world and the parallel world where Tenchi is." "Is that possible?" "No problem, as long as we use the Science Academy's dimension locking system!" "We can change the orbits of the planets, after all!" "I've already sent Kiyone and Mihoshi to get working on it!" "So, when are we going to activate it?" "Even as we speak Tenchi is definitely settling in to his life in the parallel world." "We don't have a moment to waste!" "We'll act as soon as everything's ready!"
