Chapter 63

Ilulu and Doll is the sixty-third chapter of Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon.

Summary
After finding a doll, Ilulu and Take search for its owner.

Plot
After finishing a working day at the candy store, Taketo and Ilulu find an abandoned doll, so they decide to wait for someone to return for it. As that does not happen, the two decide to go find the owner together.

Because they were unlucky, Ilulu decides to ask Kobayashi for help so they can find the owner. Although Taketo is skeptical at first, he accompanies Ilulu to continue the search, who thanks to her dragon's nose has been able to follow a trail.

Halfway through, Ilulu tells Taketo to better go because of how far they were going. At that moment, Ilulu has a memory of when she lived in the other world, where a human girl made her a doll as a gift, but her father destroyed it claiming that humans were enemies and that they should not socialize with them. Ilulu, not willing for the owner of the doll to go through that same trauma, continues with the search, until it starts to rain, which makes the aroma disappear and with it the trail.

Heartbroken and discouraged, Taketo soon appears with an umbrella, who returned for his friend when he realized that it would start to rain. Ilulu tells Taketo her reason why she insists so much on finding the doll's owner, to which the boy simply pats her on the head and says that then they will have to try harder.

Kobayashi and Tohru then appear and tell Ilulu that he found the whereabouts of the doll's factory, which was made by special order from a person. Ilulu and Taketo finally manage to find the owner, who claims that she had left the doll on purpose because her friends teased her saying that they were "children's things", but that she had repented and that she is now happy to have her doll back.

As a token of appreciation, Kobayashi invites Taketo to stay for dinner, but before that, Ilulu appears naked to him to bathe together for having been in the rain, to which Kobayashi simply looks at them mischievously.
