Chapter 9

Experiment #9: U-E No. 13 (実験その9: ウエノ13号) is the 9th chapter of Ueno-san wa Bukiyou.

Plot
Tanaka enters the Science Club late again. Sitting in for Ueno is a robot that looks like her. This is U-E No. 13, a caregiver type robot. Ueno has placed her in the Science room to get Tanaka to look for the real Ueno. But Tanaka does not notice the change, accepting the robot as the real thing. Ueno and Yamashita proceed with the plan anyway.

13 keeps staring at Tanaka. She offers him some gum, which he takes. She then demands Tanaka let her put her head on his lap. He asks about the strange protrusions on her head. 13 asks Tanaka to pet her head. He gives in.

Yamashita gets worried that 13's maiden spirit is going out of control. She looks over to see Ueno raging. She tries to get 13 to stop, but she is ignored. Tanaka asks 13 if something is wrong, and that she can talk to Yamashita or him if there is something she needs to say.

13 gets up and tries to confess to Tanaka for Ueno. Ueno jumps out and whacks 13 with the removable countertop she was under. She scolds Tanaka for not noticing the difference between her and 13 as she drags 13 out of the room, still attempting to confess.

Title

 * The Japanese Title, unusually, has no pun, simply calling U-E No. 13 "ウエノ13号," which translates to Ueno Mark. 13. The English pun, using the "no" of Ueno as the symbol for number, comes form the English translation of the Manga by translator Bainhardt.
