Mister Freelancer has been shutting himself in again lately, hasn't he?

House of Five Leaves Subbed by ☭ Commie ☭

The map spans farther than the eye can see.

Miwatasenai chizu ga aru

Tohou ni kureru hodo hiroku

Its wideness that knows no end...

shiru koto akiramesou ni naru

discourages us of being familiar.

Bokura wa totemo shy de

We have been extremely shy,

kantan ni kizutsukiyasui

and we are easily hurt.

Dakara takai oshiro tatete

That's the reason we've built tall castles.

mioroshiteru no

So we can look down from high above.

Standing ovation

Kyoumei shita applause

Each applause resonates with another.

Minna shitteru

We all knew that only thing.

Dareka ga hajimenai to

Someone had to start it.

Bokura wa kata narabete

We line up shoulder to shoulder, putting our hands together to make the

sign of love

Love is never wasted.

I want to give you what you wish for.

Show me your soul

if your heart has yet to forget what love is.

I love on

Sign of love

He escaped through the back!

It's a wounded burglar. Don't let him get away!

Come inside.

Is it really okay to help someone like him, Ichi?

A thief disappeared around here. We're going to inspect the premises.

Hide.

Ichi!

There's blood- on the window!

Stab me with your hair ornament.

What!?

Hurry it up.

We're going to inspect the room!

There's Blood!

The authorities called over a lover's quarrel?

Even though he said he'd pay my way out of bondage,

he's been calling upon another woman!

He trampled on my feelings!

I'm sorry. I won't do it again. You're the only one for me.

Come here.

No need for the authorities to get involved over this trivial matter.

Tch- How ridiculous.

On to the next room.

Ichi, are you all right? I went all out and overdid it.

First we have to treat his wounds. Bring some medicine, will you?

Sure.

She stabbed my stomach.

Sure gets carried away.

Sure Gets

Carried Away

Please tell me your name.

Yaichi.

I'll repay this favour-

I don't need that.

Why the gloomy face?

Is there something in particular that you needed the money for?

Ohmiya Rice Wholesaler

So you gave them the money and got this letter from the "Five Leaves",

saying that they'd return Yutaro within two or three days?

This is the payment for your bodyguard work up until today.

Work is work. I'm not going to be stingy and not pay you.

However, your work here is over.

Masa.

Ohmiya has a hand in the rising rice prices. He's cornering the rice market.

They paid you for your bodyguard work?

You'll be able to send that money home to your family, along with this time's share.

Go home and take it easy.

Masa, welcome!

Ume...

when are you going to the Elder's place?

Tommorow.

Is it okay if I come along?

Uhm, where is Yutaro?

He's inside the trunk in the closet.

To tell you the truth, Ichi told me not to bring you here.

Did you get attached to him or something?

I'll return him safely later so don't worry. Cut the leeks now. The leeks.

With this, how many jobs have you guys done?

Not even ten yet.

I've tried to go legit, but this is how I grew up, so there's no helping it.

You don't consider the "Five Leaves" a chivalrous robber group, Ume?

That's what I say in front of Okinu.

The purpose of our first job was indeed to retaliate against a villain.

But now, we're just mere thieves, we do it for the money.

I don't know your reasons, though.

You haven't heard anything about me from Yaichi?

Nope, nothing. Besides, did Yaichi tell you about himself, after he listened to you?

No...

There's no way he would. He never talks about himself.

Yaichi is mysterious in many ways.

Yaichi always has fun with mind games. He's a hard to grasp man.

Looks like he's doing a side job at home.

Oh really?...

I have to hurry and send money back home, but...

Mind if I come in...

Are you planning to start a paper lantern shop?

Here's your share for this time.

I wonder if it's okay for me to take it, and send it to my family.

I didn't mean to work as a member,

so I can't take the money as a reward.

You're being depended on, right?

But it'll be a while until the next job.

Are you going to keep making paper lanterns until then?

Come with me.

K a t s u r a

K a t s u r a y a

So you're the one...

The super-skilled bodyguard Ichi was talking about?

We'll clean up one of the storage rooms. You'll sleep there.

I'll watch you for a while to see if you'll be of any use.

Uhm, I...

Oh... and have Ichi tell you how to handle women.

When did you start living here Yaichi?

When was it?

I've forgotten...

But...

You're probably the type that gets deceived by women...

since you don't doubt people.

Well, watch out for the women here.

Also, Matsu comes sometimes.

What?

How's Ohmiya?

Nothing unusual to report.

The kid doesn't seem to quite understand what happened.

The lady of the house was telling him about the kidnapping,

saying, "That bodyguard was so useless that he couldn't even babysit."

Well then, I'll get going.

Okay.

Are you worried about that kid?

I had no idea that he was the adopted son of that family,

that he had come to live in that house recently,

and moreover, that he was feeling lonely due to that strict mother of his.

I feel sorry for him, being kidnapped under such circumstances.

Masa.

Boring.

You're a good person aren't you.

Well, hurry up and get used to this place.

I've been thinking about something these past few days.

Yaichi, you're someone who doesn't express his real feelings,

but when I asked you about your intentions the other day, you readily answered.

Yaichi, truth is that it isn't about the money for you is it?

Teacher?

Your room is ready.

Thank you.

If I stay here, I may be able to learn something about Yaichi.

I wonder if I'm tired. My legs somehow feel heavy.

I never thought I'd be living in a brothel.

The restroom must've been cold right?

Don't cause a racket.

I just slipped into his bed for a bit, that's all.

I thought I told you to leave the bodyguard alone.

There's no way we can leave a young man like him alone, is there?

You too, get a grip. It'll be problematic if you cause a ruckus over a little thing like this.

Ichi!

Ichi!

Just what kind of man did you bring here?

You said you'd watch him for a while didn't you, Boss Lady?

What are you doing in Ichi's room?

I couldn't find a customer who'd stay overnight, so...

I'm always telling you to stop sneaking into Ichi's room, aren't I?

What's the problem? Ichi pays properly after all.

Hurry up and go back to your room.

You girls too!

Yes Ma'am.

Get it together.

Y- Yes Ma'am.

Yaichi, truth is that it isn't about the money for you is it?

How boring... I like him better when he's dumb...

K a t s u r a y a

Katsura-ya

Have you gotten a little more used to this place, Teacher?

Three days isn't enough.

Teacher, do you have a girlfriend?

No.

Would you like some sweets?

No, thank you.

Oh, you don't have to hold back.

No, I really don't have an appetite.

Give me one.

Ichi buys all sorts of stuff like this for us.

He bought us sugar candies the other day.

That was a real treat, wasn't it?

"Where does he get the money?", is what we're not supposed to ask.

It seems like you know about Ichi's background and stuff.

We don't have to know, though. All of us here...

have our own circumstances.

Being nosy is inconsiderate, you know.

"Have you gotten a little more used to this place, Teacher?"

"Three days isn't enough."

Women's voices carry well. Isn't that lively mood nice?

You look pale.

I feel under the weather, I think I'm short of sleep.

Otake is paying your rent in Nagaya so don't worry about it.

Even if you get fired here, you'll still have a place to live.

Yeah...

Oh, but...

it's possible that Otake may take up residence in your place.

I felt like moving.

Let me rent this place until I find a new one.

I've been meaning to ask you...

where does the name "Five Leaves" come from?

I came up with the name, but ask Ichi about the reason.

Have you known Yaichi for a long time?

Among the Five Leaves, it's possible that I've known him the longest.

Ichi did me a big favor in the past.

I'm hungry. Shall we go eat something?

I have to go back.

Then let's walk out together.

Oh my...

You don't have any energy do you.

I think you should have lunch before you go after all.

Yeah...

Masa and I were talking about our rent earlier, and I thought I'd pay mine too...

for the next 6 months.

This is way more than 6 month's worth.

I still have quite a bit of the "rent" that you forced on me last time.

Make hair ornaments or something for the women.

K a t s u r a

K a t s u r a y a

The reason for the name "Five Leaves"?

Otake came up with it on her own.

So the reason was...?

She said she liked maple leaves.

Matsu.

About Ohmiya...

If there's no change, you can stop watching them.

Come inside.

I'll go get tea or something.

No, thank you. I'm going back right away, so...

Warm yourself before you go.

It's not like him.

Ichi doesn't do things for no reason.

He doesn't like to be meddled with, so he doesn't meddle with others either.

He's that kind of person.

He used to be like that.

He changed?

Have you known Yaichi for a long time too, Matsukichi?

Ichi did me a big favor in the past.

Ah, Matsukichi has already gone back.

He's that kind of person.

You want to know about me, don't you?

Are you interested in my character?

Or my background?

Character, I guess.

I see. Then...

let's hope our association lasts a long time.

Well then, I'll go check outside-

Did your feet go numb?

No. My legs feel awfully heavy below the knees.

I'm having a hard time moving them, so it throws me off.

Well then...

Be careful, Teacher!

He tripped even though there's nothing there.

He said he didn't have an appetite either.

Katsura ya

I've heard that there's a sickness called "Edo Disease."

Don't go off killing anyone, Dad!

Let go of me!

Dad!

S a k e

Oh? How bold!

You came back, Okinu.

You got fired from your job at one of the Shogun's direct retainer's houses? Why?

Their second son was treating Okinu badly.

Oh no.

That's what it looked like but I somehow turned him down.

Since then, I was getting harassed and...

in the end I was fired.

This guy is to be married into

another one of the Shogun's retainer's families soon.

That's awful. To think that he's trying to fool around before that...

I won't forgive anyone who makes Okinu cry.

She's the only one who suffered in this. I can't just keep calm.

That second son is going to be married into another family with a dowry, right?

You can just take that money.

Stealing?

Kidnapping.

Itsuka kimi ga ita, kotoba no naka nani ka

It felt like there was something

Kakure teru you na kigashite nandomo kurikaesu kerodo

hidden in your words that day...

Kimi no koe ga ima mo kawarazu ni

No matter how many times it's repeated,

kikoete irun da

I can still hear your voice, unchanging...

Every time I breathe,

I wanna hold you in my arms

Every word you whisper,

makes my heart beat up and high...

Every time I breathe,

I just wanna hold you in my arms again

Every word you whisper,

makes my heart beat up and high...

Every day I need you

All the time I'll be there for you

Every word you whisper,

makes my heart beat up and high...

Now, about the next episode of House of Five Leaves...

Okinu speaking.

The customers who come to my dad's place are all strange people for some reason.

You want to know who among them I'm especially curious about?

That's a secret.

Well, the next episode is...
