One day later, IN THE MORNING.)

Mine was observing a figurine that she broke by accident. It was a figure of a manga character she recently brought from  an online store.)

"What have I done?!" she exclaimed.

Mine: I just broke my figurine! Aaaargh!

Arigaoa: ?

Mine: Oh, ah, hi. I broke my new figurine because I was too anxious of what happened the last few days.

Iken: Morning. I see you were gathering the pieces with the broom...

Mine: *bowing* Yes.

Iken: It isn't that bad that you broke it, just buy a new one.

Mine: I'll plan to do that... Even if they take forever to ship...

Arigaoa: Huh... Mine, why is your hair in that style? That looks very unusual.

Mine: *nervous laughter* I don't know... I just wanted to try something different, do you like it?

Arigaoa: I'm not sure about that. How did you do it?

Mine: 1...

Arigaoa: What? What are you talking about? Why are you counting...?

Mine: Uh... That's nothing... As for the hairstyle I just swept it to the side like this... And then... I tied it with a ribbon...

Arigaoa: Well, it's not ugly. Atleast I think not, a bit.

Mine: Huh?

Arigaoa: *smiles*

Mine: I think that one of my friends need me, I should go.

Arigaoa: But you just arrived.

Mine: I know. I'll be back soon, I promise.

Arigaoa: Okay. See you later, but... You haven't finished studying and it's still early too...

Mine: I'll do it soon, well for the second part it's an exception.

Mine was searching the house of her friend but she wasn't here, luckily she was outside and not that far away. Her friend looked overweight, she had short tomboyish hair with two sidelocks in the front.)

Mine: Good morning! Oh, you...

Mine's friend: I what?

Mine: You look kinda... overweight...

Konata: Huh? Are you calling me fat?

Mine: No! I-I-I mean... Yes. No. Not at all mrs. You're f... well...

Konata: Everyone at school mocks me for that... and you do too!

Mine: I-I-I mean...

Konata: What do you mean then?

Mine: I mean... Umm... Do you want to make a breakfast diet?

Konata: I can't stand my classmates... They made me cry when I first went to school! They called me ugly...

Mine: I'm sorry to hear this...

Konata: I'll make them pay next time.

Mine: And how are you gonna do that?

Konata: Huh? I'm gonna beat them up, the hard way.

Mine: This isn't sounding good... But... I have an advice... Don't worry... You should feel OK what whichever weight you have. Appearances don't matter. Ignore the others, and talks about them to the adults.

Konata: Ignoring them?

Mine: Of course.

Konata seemed to be thinking to something before nodding and smiling.)

Mine: I think I should go now.

Konata: You sure?

Mine: *nods* I don't want your situation to get worse. So see you later.

Mine left and went in direction to one of her friends' house, he was home.)

Knock knock.)

Mine: Please open the door, it's me, Mine.

Echigo: Hello Mine, what are you doing here?

Mine: I'm only here for a visit. Actually, something interesting happened.

Echigo: Did you finish your homework?

Mine: No, not yet. But I wish I didn't force myself to continue it.

Echigo: Oh, you have to go out and explore then.

Mine: Eh, I don't want to go too far. I was thinking of asking Kiyo if I could stay here.

Echigo: Really?

Mine: Tell him I say hi.

Kiyo came out of his room.)

Kiyo: What? What is it?

Mine: N-Nothing.

Echigo: She wanted to ask you if she could stay here.

Kiyo: What about tomorrow? It's too sudden for now.

Mine: I don't know, I'm nervous...

The next day...)

Mine: Kiyo...

Kiyo: Huh? *he was wearing a bathrobe*

Mine: T-There's a s-sneaking bug that lives in the storage room...

Kiyo: What? I've seen no such thing...

Mine: The Storage Room... Wh-Where's your storage room?

Kiyo: It's part of the kitchen! There, to the right! Arrgh! I can't get in! The door is locked! And it's my own house!

Kiyo: Eh? That's strange, the Storage Room should be open for everyone...

Mine: I-I don't feel like talking about this anymore...

Kiyo: You must have been scared. Well, in that case, I'm glad it's closed now.

Mine: Please, I really need to finish my homework...

---

Mine: That beetle must've been here for... I don't know how long... Err... I don't want to talk about this anymore...

Kiyo: So, do you also want to stay here for the rest of the night?

Mine: Yep. I was going to say that anyway, some people usually blow firecrackers outside my house when I sleep, it's kind of annoying.

Kiyo: Well, I guess it's fine by me. I'm not worried about anything. Plus, I won't let you do the chores anyway.

Then, a talking voice is heard.)

Mine: What was that?

Kiyo: Was that... Arigaoa-chan?

Mine: You know her?

Kiyo: Yeah. We're in the same class, and our mothers are both friends of each other. *his brown eyes blinked*

Mine: Then let's go see her. We can't if we don't know where she is, right?

---

Konata: I'm still fat... I tried everything! My appearance is weird... I'm horrible... there's a sign that says "Go left 100 meters" but I can't read it... I'm a fatty...

Mine: Hey, hey, hey! You're not fat! You're not weird! You're not horrible! Certainly not a fatty either! You're actually really beautiful inside! Appreciate yourself!

Konata: Thanks. *flattered*

Mine: (I'm surprised that she's not crying about it, or even not getting driven to self-violence... Bullying leads mostly to that, even Arigaoa has already been bullied.)

Konata: Hey, can I tell you about something?

Mine: Go on.

Konata: When I was little, I used to look thinner, girlier, and people liked me better. My family also did. I was so beautiful that others even thought that I looked like a princess, or a very rich girl.

Mine: So, what happened?

Konata: They kept feeding me like a pig until I turned out like this... *crying*

Mine: Can you tell me how did this happen?

Konata: I really loved to eat since I was often bored and my friends were too busy to hang out with me. So I ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, until my belly turned bigger.

Mine: *blushed* Wow, that's a lot of food.

Konata: It's a good thing my friends aren't around right now.

Mine: *winks* You can eat all the food you want as long as you don't turn into a blob.

Konata: Hehe... *nervous laughter*

Mine: It might be unhealthy, but I can't blame you, because it's just a habit.

Konata: I guess it's not healthy, but atleast I can live with it.

Mine: Well, if you have a problem, just come talk to me. I'm a good listener.

Konata: *cheeks marks* I'm fine.

Konata: Are you sure...?

Mine: Yup. *nods* What's the situation going right now?

Konata: I'm planning on going on a diet.

Mine: Oh...

Konata: My mother's on a cleanse right now, and she's making me go to the health center for an assessment. It's really inconvenient.

Mine: Yeah.

A boy punched Konata.)

Unknown boy: Get out of here, you fatso! You're way too fat! *furious face* You think you're so hecking smart?! *he mocked her* You stupid person! Greasy hippopotamus! Derogatory-looking dunce!

Mine: Stop! Why are you punching and insulting her!? Stop it!

Konata: *cries but attempts to fight back* No! Please get away!

Unknown boy: *falls down straight away* Y-You're strong...

Konata: *goes away*

Unknown boy: Ow. Alright, alright! I'm not saying another word! *he sits down with a tin whistle* Wait, come back! I'm very sorry for hurting your feelings, you're attractive!

Mine: Do you realize now what you've done...?

Unknown boy: I-I really do... *sighs and looks down* I'm so sorry... Please tell her that I apologize for what I said...

She did and Konata came back.)

Konata: Who are you?

Jirawik: My name is Jirawik, but most people call me Wik. Sorry again for being such an awful person to you.

Konata: N-No... It's okay, I forgive you... I understand why you were like that to me, I deserved it anyway...

Mine: Don't say that, Konata.

Konata: But it's true...

Jirawik: The health center is that big brown building with the signs on top. You'll find me there.

Konata: Okay.

---

Konata: *sighs* I can't believe my mom is on a cleanse. This sucks.

Mine: What? Your mother's on a cleanse?! How did this happen?

Konata: It's been years now! I thought she was getting better. *intense blushing, heartbroken eyes*

Jirawik: You must come with me.

Konata: Wait! Why am I being taken from the health center?

A bebe was outside (Lindje). Mine ran in front of her but she was still far.)

Mine: I know you're gonna use my friend for target! I won't let you do that!

The others came.)

Zip: No, don't, zippu!

Konata: Wha?! What's going on?!

Lindje: Dada... *looking at her*

Konata: Aaaaaaah! Heeeeelp!

Lindje: *extremely slow talking, pacifier on, she used Konata for her Akan target and a summoning Akan scene popped up*

Akan: *ready to destroy*

Mine: Konata!

Arigaoa: Everyone! Let's go!

They transformed.)

Akan: *attacks the cures with grease*

Cure Professional: I don't wanna fight you... But I have to...

Cure Smart: nO!

Cure Logic: Dragon Head! *she shoots* /They have special attacks/

Akan: Aaaaaakaaaaaan!

Cure Bon: Run! Haaaaah! *she attacked*

Inner Akan: I'm fat... No one likes me... Boohoo...

Lindje: (Translation: Yep... She's fat and ugly...)

Cure Bon: No! Konata is a good person! Even if she looks like that... On the outside she is great!

Cure Smart: That's right! You shouldn't judge a person by their body type or look! They breathe the same air you do! Shame on you!

Lindje: (Translation: No, it's really wrong! Get destroyed, all of you! Attack, Akan!) *why is a baby talking like that?*

Inner Akan: ...Baby.

Cure Smart: Lindje, please stop...

Cure Professional: Everyone, pay attention! We have a serious problem!

Lindje: (Translation: You're the one that should pay attention! Akan... STRIKE HER!)

Akan: *strikes Cure Professional*

Cure Professional: *screams*

Cure Intello: Professional!

Lindje: (Translation: You're a joke! Hah! Jokes on you, jokes on you! Heehee!) *wags her finger and does a sort of dance*

Cure Bon: You're so rude! *she kicks Lindje*

Cure Professional: *struggles to get the grease off* You... You used my best friend! How could you do this?!

The Cures did their group attack, the Akan was back to normal.)

Konata: H-Hmm...

Lindje: *disappears*

They detransformed. Iken, Shikuna and Inuyama went away.)

Mine: Don't worry about it. Nothing happened, it was just a dream, you cannot remember anything. Anyway, we're on a cleanse remember?

Konata: I thought it was a diet?

Mine: Well, if you are going to survive this you need to watch what you eat.

Konata: Ok...

Zip: *looking annoyed*

Mine: What is it, Zip?

Zip: N-Nothing at all...

Mine has been on the cleanse for four hours. She's almost already done. The cleanse is normally meant to take one week but it took four hours for her to pass out. She ate a small amount of meat and drank a little bit of juice but she passed out. The more you eat the more energy you get, the more energy you have the more you can eat.)

Mine: (Think: If this keeps up, she'll be carrying the entire planet on her back by the end of it.)

---

Konata: *drinking small amount of juice*

Arigaoa: *was watching* ...You are beautiful the way you are.

Painting-like shot.)

Arigaoa: But please don't have diabetes.
