One morning, as Nikomaru is getting ready for school, Akitakomachi shows up at his door carrying a lost  baby named Rinx Kobayashi. Akitakomachi says he found the baby in a rice cooker on his way to school. The two of them decide to take care of Rinx Kobayashi together, and through much trial and error, they try their hardest to be good parents.
And now there'll be a little 
less rice in the world...
...سيكون هنالك أرزّ  أقلّ في العالم
Und jetzt gibt es ein Reiskorn
weniger auf der Welt.
Un arroz menos.
Un arroz menos.
Ça fera du riz en moins.
E ora c'è un po' meno riso a questo mondo...
E agora há menos arroz no mundo...
Теперь в мире станет меньше риса...
