Summary:
It’s Acqua Alta, the time before summer when the streets get completely flooded. While out buying President Aria some food, Akari runs into Aika and we learn a little more about Aika’s privileged life as the Himeya Company heir. Everyone is pretty deferential to Aika, except for Ferrari Akira, the Demon instructor. Akira is one of the Three Water Fairies, and she is very strict with Aika. Naturally, Aika has a tantrum, and runs off to go join the Aria Company.
Aika has been in love with Alicia ever since twin-tailed Lolicia fetched Aika’s shoe out of the water and cheered Aika up with some hair-play (4 years ago). Alicia has had quite an effect on everyone, and we learn that Akira is a childhood friend of Alicia. Unfortunately, tag-along Alicia ended up becoming a Prima (professional Undine) first, and Akira is still a bit bitter. Anyway, there is some nonsense about a race to see if Aika can stay at Aria Company, but Aika has already realized she was being a brat and so pacifies Akira with Akira’s beloved walnut bread.
Reaction:
Damn, Acqua Alta sucks! Has NV solved the problem of having sewage back up, because I would hate to be walking barefoot through the streets in someone else’s poo! On a related note, President Aria is totally gross and not a catch at all. He thought he could score with that hottie President Hime, but she was not at all impressed by a fathead who drooled in her food after barely managing to do one pull-up. At least we learned that cats with aquamarine eyes are taken as mascots because aquamarine has long been treasured by sailors. I also liked watching the evolution of Alicia’s hair from her Single (journeymen wear one glove) days to her current hairstyle.
Akira was a nice introduction, and she had great chemistry with Alicia. The Kinshi vs. Ara Ara battle has begun, and Aika will have to decide which side to take. I like how Aika was able to get over her crush on Alicia to return home with Akira, knowing that the strict instruction is keeping Aika from becoming a diva. The only problem I had with this episode was that Akari did not actually end up buying President Aria any food, and instead they just fed him some of Aika’s special fried rice.

And welcome to the ‘Got their names mixed up because they all start with A’ club!
*pops up with video camera*
OTL OTL OTL
Arrrrrg, fixed. Those two have especially similar names, too. That A-name thing is kinda annoying actually! What is this, Nanoha A’s?
You still have much to learn, young Padawan. You’ll get used to the names eventually!
Doh! Beaten by Ender! LOL, it’s like an Easter Egg hunt!
I had so many problems with this too when I first started out but now I feel as infinitely smug and superior as only a LFB can.
FUXXXXXXXXXX
I need to just start calling Akari “Momiko”. Now I understand why that skeez Akatsuki does it.
Now that you mention it, all the girls have nicks or titles. Aika’s nickname is my favourite.
And the hits keep rolling in!
There’s also another one that I will let you find yourself!
Not to mention having to amend Ender’s comment details too because he doesn’t log in to comment!
I keep making the Akira-Akari mistake over and over again… Both are quickly falling behind in my favorite character poll.
I found the last (I hope) Akira-Akari mistake. This burden of proofreading is driving me nuts!
Mine too. Zyl, if only we’d met under different circumstances…
@Zyl: That chore is part of his destiny as Sea Slugs BOSS!
Instead of a spellchecker, we need a Akira-Akari checker, stat.
You really have to feed cats with flesh from animals they could never kill in the first place like cows, pigs, tuna and cheezburger. If you feed them rice, they’ll end up looking like those Aria cats.
@Baka-Raptor: Reminds me of Signum’s line to Fate. Don’t worry, fighting is the prerequisite for Great Befriending FTW!
I bet President Aria could kill a Tuna. Maybe… Sometimes the best conversations are communicated through one’s fists!
D:
You’ll get much better at it soon enough. :P
Whoa, wait, this is crazy. You want me to hit you?
Everyone knows it’s not assault if you call out the name of your attack first.
You can has PUNCH!
LOL at the correction comments! Well Kabi, at least you know whenever I correct something for you, I let you delete the evidence
Oh, why thank you! *drinks punch* I guess I’m not mad at you anymore XD
alternate pun:
tsk tsk, oh Chrisy-boy! Don’t you know that Kabi-kun was talking about a different type of “hitting”? Let me lay down da fuzz:
Kabitzin: Let me get your digits!

Chris: …huh?
(hurr hurr, I take any opportunity to give my Smash number!) (on the subject of smash, I don’t understand the Samus header… She doesn’t need miclonization… at least I don’t think so… BAZOINKAS NEVER NEED MICLONIZATION IN MY BOOK!!! READ IT!!!
Do you have drills or twin pigtails?
I just realized what the scene with Alicia going “Ara ara *giggle” reminded me of. It was exactly like the Shana-tan scene where Kazumi giggles and then jiggles her breasts over and over again…
… I really need to watch Shana now O_O
