00:00I'm Kid Honda, the 24-year-old currently rocking the homeless life.
00:05I have nobody to rely on because I grew up in an orphanage, so I'm screwed.
00:13Can't believe my job just went belly up.
00:17What now?
00:18Um, you seem kind of troubled, need help?
00:26If you want, you can crash at my place.
00:29What?
00:30That's nice of you, but why though?
00:34Remember me?
00:35I'm the one you helped out before.
00:38Whoa, wait.
00:41That was a bit back.
00:44Gotta hustle to the client.
00:46Oh my, what a pickle.
00:49What should we do?
00:52Huh?
00:53Something up with them.
00:54Got no time, but...
00:56Hey, is everything okay?
00:59Um, well, this lady was lost, so I tried to help her out.
01:04But then, I got lost too.
01:09Gotcha.
01:10I'll guide you if you want.
01:12Thank you.
01:14You're a lifesaver.
01:16No problem.
01:18Well, gotta go to work.
01:20Um, can I get your name?
01:22Wanna say thanks properly?
01:25Just did what anyone would.
01:27Later.
01:29That time.
01:31Yeah.
01:32Let me return the favor.
01:34But crashing at a girl's place.
01:37It's fine.
01:39My place is a share house.
01:42Alright then.
01:43Plus, I'm at my wit's end.
01:46Got it.
01:47Thanks.
01:48Great.
01:50And so, I ended up heading to the girl's place I helped out.
01:55This is the share house I'm living in.
01:59Pretty spot.
02:01Thanks.
02:02Make yourself at home.
02:04I wonder who else is here.
02:06Welcome!
02:08This is your new house starting today.
02:11Wait, just girls?
02:13Uh, where are the guys?
02:16No guys here.
02:18It's a girls-only zone.
02:20Share house style.
02:22What?
02:24Rina?
02:26Who's this guy?
02:28New housemate.
02:29What?
02:31A guy?
02:32In our house?
02:34Hey, where's my booze at?
02:38You're holding it, Maya.
02:41Whaaat?
02:43Oh, wow.
02:45I am.
02:47Uh, sorry.
02:49Think I'll pass.
02:51Come on, don't be like that.
02:53Hang with us, okay?
02:56Something's off.
02:58But this place is guys-free, right?
03:01Can I really stay?
03:03You got your reason, so it's fine.
03:07Anyway, let's introduce ourselves.
03:11I'm Rina Yoshida, the den mother here.
03:15I'm Erika Suzuki.
03:17Nice to meet ya.
03:19Hey, uh, who am I again?
03:26You're Maya Sato?
03:30Oh yeah, that's right.
03:34Alright, these are the people living in this share house.
03:38Uh, yeah.
03:40I'm Kent Kato. Nice to meet you.
03:43And so, I ended up living in an all-girls share house.
03:49And this was the real beginning of the chaos.
03:53Huh?
03:55Where am I?
03:57Oh, right.
03:59Rina helped me out yesterday.
04:07Uh, why is Rina crashed in my bed?
04:13Good morning, Kent.
04:16Morning?
04:19Wait a sec.
04:21Why were you in my bed?
04:23Your sleeping face is cute.
04:26So I was staring.
04:28And then fell asleep.
04:31Yikes, creepy.
04:34Alright, breakfast's ready. Eat up.
04:38Whoa, this is amazing. Best thing I've eaten.
04:42Thank you.
04:45Oh, there's rice on your cheek.
04:49Huh? Where?
04:51Here, let me get it.
04:55Did she eat it?
04:57Feels kinda embarrassing.
04:59I feel like a little kid.
05:03Indirect kiss.
05:09Huh? Rina muttering something.
05:13I can't hear, but it gives me the chills.
05:17Rina, mind teaching me again?
05:21Oh, sorry, but gotta go somewhere soon.
05:25Aw, okay.
05:28Erika looks like a flashy girl, but seems genuine and nice.
05:33Maybe I can help with studying.
05:36I can help you out.
05:38What? Really? Yay, thanks.
05:43A few hours later.
05:45Wow, Kent, you're so good at this.
05:49Glad I was able to help.
05:51Feels good seeing her so happy.
05:54Oops, gotta call. Gotta take this real quick.
05:58No worries, I'll be here.
06:01We'll be back ASAP.
06:03While Erika's on the phone, I'll hit the bathroom.
06:07How long is this guy gonna be around?
06:12Trying to act cute is wearing me out, you know.
06:17Geez, Rina, why'd she bring someone like that?
06:23Oh, Kent, did you hear that?
06:27Sorry, just wanted to go to the bathroom.
06:31So, is that the real you, Erika?
06:36Huh? So what if it is?
06:39No, I mean, why act like that?
06:43Well, it's like a survival skill.
06:47The real me? Nobody'd accept that.
06:51Can't really connect with people. Always cold, cold.
06:56So, I picked a high school with no connections, came to this share house.
07:02This time I can't afford to mess up, so I'm just playing a version of myself that people can accept.
07:08Do Rina and the others know about this?
07:12No clue. I've been playing this part since I got here.
07:17That must be exhausting. Alright then.
07:21If that's the deal, be yourself around me, Erika.
07:25Huh?
07:27Must be tiring, right? Relax a bit around me.
07:32You're such a weirdo.
07:35Well, no holding back then.
07:39Don't regret it later.
07:41No worries. You've done well till now.
07:45Really? You're such a weirdo.
07:51Another day.
07:52I'm back! Finally wrapped up work.
07:56Good job. You should rest.
07:59Did she just wink at me? My heart skipped a beat.
08:04We haven't talked much, cause she's barely home, but...
08:08Is she really that drunk lady I met before?
08:12Hey, what's Maya like?
08:15She's super talented. Works at Koiwa Corporation. Real career woman.
08:20Whoa, THE Koiwa Corporation? That's awesome!
08:26Oh? Interested in my company?
08:30Yeah, I wanted to join Koiwa Corporation, but I didn't have the skills.
08:35I really respect you. Could you share your experience with me?
08:40Huh? It's not that big a deal.
08:44And so, I got to hear all sorts of stories from Maya.
08:48You're amazing! I really look up to you!
08:53Geez, you're flattering me too much!
08:59Woo! This abuse gives me life!
09:03That's the drunk lady from the first day!
09:11Why are you clinging to me?
09:14Hey, no one's ever praised me this straightforwardly.
09:19So, thanks!
09:23This is so embarrassing!
09:29Another day, I went shopping with Erica.
09:33Thanks for coming shopping with me.
09:37I'm unemployed, so I got nothing better to do.
09:41Rina said she's grateful for your help with chores.
09:45Glad I can be useful somehow.
09:48I was worried at first, but I'm glad you came.
09:52I don't have to hide my true self. It's a relief.
09:56And talking to you is, well, kind of fun.
10:02That's good to hear. I enjoy hanging out with you too, Erica.
10:09Oh my, it's you!
10:13Huh? Oh, you're that!
10:16Thank you so much the other day. You really helped.
10:22Oh, no, it was nothing.
10:25Do you live around here?
10:27Uh, well...
10:30We live in the share house, just over there.
10:33Oh, I see. Thanks for telling me, dear.
10:38I shouldn't intrude on a couple, so I'll be on my way.
10:42N-no, we're not.
10:45You two would make a good wife and husband.
10:50No, it's not like that.
10:53Yeah, I know. It's fine.
10:57That night...
10:59Hey, cats! Come over here!
11:04Again, Maya?
11:06Since I heard about her job, I've been roped into her drinking sessions.
11:11If I run, she'll just chase me, so I have no choice.
11:17So, like, it's been super rough lately.
11:22I'll listen, but please don't cling to me. You'll wake everyone up.
11:29Sorry. I'm such a mess. You're disappointed in me, right?
11:36No way. You're amazing, Maya.
11:40You've got a great job at such an awesome company, and you're doing your best.
11:45So, I think it's totally fine to relax like this at home.
11:49Even if you're a bit messy, I still respect you a lot.
11:53You're my role model.
11:55Kent! Thank you.
11:59You're pretty great, too, you know.
12:02You're serious and kind.
12:06I'm really glad you came to the share house.
12:10Drinking with you, it really helps me.
12:15If that's the case, I'll join you anytime.
12:22Thanks. You're the best.
12:27A few days later, something happened.
12:30Alright, time to clean up this room.
12:33Huh? What's this book?
12:36Wait, what? These are all pictures of me!
12:41Oh, you found it. I shouldn't have left it out, but...
12:46Wha? R-Rina?
12:49What is this?
12:52It's a photo album of you. I made it.
12:58Well, now that you've seen it, there's no turning back.
13:03I'm really sorry for snooping. Here, take it back.
13:08Huh? You're not freaked out? After seeing this?
13:13Of course I was surprised.
13:17But I'm really grateful to you, Rina.
13:20You always keep the house clean, do the laundry, and cook for us.
13:26You work hard for us, and I know you're a kind person.
13:30Actually, I didn't find you by accident.
13:35What?
13:38That day, when you helped me and the old lady, I fell for you at first sight.
13:44Since then, I've been looking for you.
13:48So that's how it was. I, well...
13:54It's okay if you don't have an answer yet.
13:58I'm fine with things staying the way they are for now.
14:02But someday, please choose me.
14:06Alright, I'll think about it seriously.
14:10Okay, I'll be looking forward to it.
14:17Kent, I made a parfait for you.
14:20Wow, it looks delicious.
14:23Here comes the plane!
14:27Huh?
14:31What are you... What are you doing, Rina?
14:36Just giving Kent a yummy parfait.
14:40If that's the case, I'll feed him.
14:43Hold on! I'm the one who'll feed Kent!
14:48Everyone, calm down!
14:51Here comes the plane!
14:54And since then, things got a bit weird with the three of them.
14:59Wait up, Kent!
15:02Hold up!
15:04You can't escape!
15:08What's gotten into everyone?
15:11Oh, someone's here.
15:14Yes, oh, hi there, miss!
15:17I knew it was this share house!
15:20Glad I found you.
15:22Huh? You came all this way? But why?
15:26President!
15:29President?
15:32He's the president of Koiwa Corporation.
15:35Wh-what?
15:38Oh, actually, Kent, I'm here to scout you.
15:44Scout?
15:47I want you to work at my company.
15:50Wow, Kent, you just got scouted.
15:55Congrats, Kent!
15:58Are you sure someone like me is okay?
16:01Of course! We need kind people who will help others in my company.
16:07I did some digging on you, and you're really impressive.
16:12Your achievements at your previous job are outstanding.
16:16Plus, you seem to be in a bit of trouble, so I have to repay the favor for helping me.
16:23That's awesome, Kent!
16:27Yeah, it feels like a dream!
16:30All my hard work after not getting into Koiwa Corporation the first time, it's finally paid off!
16:38So I got a chance to join my dream company, Koiwa Corporation, but...
16:44You're leaving?
16:47Y-yeah, the new job is far away, so I need to move.
16:52No!
16:56Anyway, I'll leave here and live with you, Kent.
16:59Living with you, Kent, is my job!
17:02Who's gonna drink with me if you're gone?
17:05I'll take care of you forever, Kent. I'll follow you anywhere.
17:10Guys...
17:13Thank you so much, but I want you all to see me off with smiles.
17:18Because I love all of you, and this share house.
17:23Huh?
17:25Thanks for helping me.
17:27Erika, I had so much fun with you.
17:30Maya, let's drink together again someday. It's a promise.
17:35Kent...
17:37Geez, don't make me cry.
17:41Got it. We'll give you a grand send-off, Kent.
17:45Thank you so much.
17:47And so, everyone threw me a farewell party.
17:51We had a proper goodbye, but...
17:55Actually, I can't. Don't go!
18:00Erika, you're letting your true feelings show. I thought you wanted to hide them.
18:06I don't care. Just stay here.
18:10Yeah! Don't go!
18:13You two, let's properly send Kent off.
18:18Rina?
18:21Yeah. Kent, let's meet again someday. It's a promise.
18:27If you don't come back, I'll never forgive you.
18:31I promise. Thank you, guys. Until we meet again.
18:36Kent really left.
18:39Now our place feels so big.
18:42Maybe I can sneak into his delivery boxes.
18:48I'm back!
18:50What?
18:52Kent?
18:54What happened?
18:56Actually, I got a call. And it turns out there was a mix-up with the assignments.
19:02So, I'm back. Looks like I'll be working in the same department as you, Maya.
19:08Sorry for the emotional goodbye. I'm back!
19:12That's okay. But more importantly...
19:16We're so glad you're back!
19:19Whoa! Thanks, guys.
19:23And so, I returned to the share house.
19:27A few days later, life was going great. But...
19:31Kent! It's time to choose me!
19:35Who's your favorite? It's gotta be me, right?
19:39It's me, right? Hurry up and answer!
19:43Uh, well, um... Just a bit more time, please?
19:48Even though work was smooth, I realized my love life was still a mess.
