Isla.

I was wondering if you ever ate anything.

If you want I'll go get something.

Giftias can have meals too right?

A... Are you listening?

Tsukasa...

Yes!

Would you...

...like some tea?

Uh no... How about dinner instead of tea?

This is so awkward...

Half a day earlier

From here on out

#03 We've Just Started Living Together

you'll be living with Isla okay?

Excuse me? Live with her? What do you mean by...

Since spotters and marksmen are partners...

We have them live together as a rule.

What?

Is that true?

Yes.

I too live in the same dwelling as Yasutaka.

Of course in his case...

He's hardly ever home.

Since Isla lives in the company dorm

would you mind moving in there too?

Me move in with Isla...

Uh starting when?

Today if possible.

Today?

Do you really mean today?

Hey that doesn't look good.

What doesn't?

That sleazy look on Tsukasa's face!

No wonder amateurs are so...!

What's this? Are you jealous?

Do I look that way?

Well...

I get why you're worried but watch over them will you?

Today after work I'll show you to the dorm room.

S-Sure!

Gotcha!

Hey it's a pretty huge dorm!

All the departments in SAI use it.

This is it?

Michiru and Zack are in the room next door.

Eru is in the room next to theirs.

Excuse me...

I'm actually inside Isla's room.

Starting today...

I'm going to live here with Isla.

Feel free to make yourself at home.

Don't pay me any mind.

Huh? What's that supposed to...?

Isla?

Isla?

Hey! What's the matter?

Huh?

W-What?

"April 10. Sunny."

"Today I had a fight with Kazuki."

"Seriously she's so scary when she's mad."

"At this rate she'll never find a husband!"

She's like a different person in the diary.

I just don't understand girls.

What are you reading?

Tsukasacchi! Good morning!

Oh...

Good morning.

Hey wait a second. Isn't that Isla's diary?

What are you doing with it Tsukasa? Don't tell me you're...!

No you've got the wrong—

What do you mean wrong idea? This is why I was so against it!

You! You're scheming to do something unsavory to Isla aren't you?

I'm not scheming!

Have you ever dated a girl before?

Answer me!

Uh... Actually...

Just as I thought! zero experience.

I haven't said anything yet!

You share a dorm room with Isla without losing your head?

I don't buy it for a second!

As if you're anyone to talk Michiru...

Z-Zack? Whatever could you be talking about?

Nothing.

Michirucchi's ranting and raving but as for me Tsukasacchi I'm rooting for you!

Rooting for me?

Yes! So I'm going to give you some special tips

on how to make your cohabitation with Islacchi all rosy!

I call it...

Operation Lucky Pervert!

Please take notes. This will be on the exam!

U-Understood!

Are you ready? First...

Your big chance is when Islacchi is in the shower.

You pretend you don't notice and open the door by mistake.

So you'll run into her inside! Even as she shrieks and wails

her heart will be pounding!

That my friend is what makes a romantic comedy!

Eru! What kind of moronic drivel is that?

And you Tsukasa! Stop taking notes!

Michirucchi you're way too grumpy!

Just remember!

If you're even a little bit inappropriate with Isla

I'll kick your butt right out of the dorm!

I'm digging in!

Inappropriate or whatever... I've got bigger problems than that okay?

Well...

I've passed the proper tactics on to you at any rate.

Excuse me for seeking something in return

but could you ask Isla-cchi to do something for me?

Do what?

Ask Isla-cchi if she could try this on!

Ta-da!

Is this...

...handmade by any chance?

I just know she'll look great in it!

The thing is Islacchi won't accept gifts from anyone no matter what.

You don't know how many times I've been crushed!

I'm home...

You pretend you don't notice and open the door by mistake.

No no no!

I'm not looking! I'm not looking all right?

She hates me...

You seem down.

Problems with dorm life?

I've lost all sense of it again...

What Isla's actually thinking.

Tsukasa.

If you want another cup let me know.

Whaaat?

So just when you're in the dorm she completely ignores you huh?

What am I supposed to do...?

If that's the case you gotta bulk up!

Bulk up did you say?

Show her that you're a guy she can depend on.

If all goes well she might just open up to you!

I see!

Isla?

Listen...

As I thought she won't talk to me when we're at the dorm.

In that case...

Not done yet!

Isla! If you ever need someone to do any heavy lifting just let me know!

Hey! I just heard this gigantic crash! What kind of rampage are you on...?

Michiru said you're a real pervert Tsukasa.

Don't go for those macho athletic tactics.

You need to be sure you're communicating and all.

Hey wasn't the boss...

Like in mourning because his daughter told him he was creepy?

I hear she also asked him not to put his underclothes in the washing machine with hers.

Look Tsukasa.

Just do as I say and you'll be golden!

Y-Yes sir!

Lately you know...

I hear that guys who can cook are all the rage.

Isla this'll be done soon so have a bite will you?

Don't worry.

This is the first time I've ever cooked but I've followed the manual to the letter!

Now all I have to do is flambé it up...

But why? No way!

Tsukasa! Didn't I tell you yesterday to keep it down?

Hey hold up!

W-Wait!

How do you turn this off?

This is bad!

So cold! Hey somebody turn this...

Tsukasa.

Please don't feel discouraged.

Constance...

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Me?

Well let's see...

One should always be a gentleman to ladies right?

In particular since Isla trips so often

I'd say that being a good escort would do the trick.

If she steps on that she might fall!

Isla! Hold up a second! I'll get that out of your way!

Isla! You okay?

Then why don't you give her a bouquet?

Isla! Do you have a second?

For you...

Run Isla! I'll take care of this somehow!

Tsukasa! Why all the racket?

At this point you should gain her trust by wearing something totally different.

Good evening Miss Isla.

What do you think of this outfit?

It's something I borrowed from Eru!

When the great darkness engulfs all around it

I shall descend upon this worl—

Hey you! Knock it off already!

Hey I heard all about it.

You haven't learned how to handle a lady yet Tsukasa so it's not your fault.

Now how about I clue you in on a special secret trick of mine?

Secret trick?

You gotta shove her down by force.

Just one thing make it look like an accident!

Because the female species loves to seek out excuses!

Hey Isla.

I...

Would you...

...like some tea?

Look out!

You gotta shove her down by force.

By force... By force...

It's no good! It's no good!

Look you. Night after night what is your problem?

Tsukasa!

Living with a woman is tough huh?

I get it.

Things aren't going well with Isla are they?

No...

I thought as much.

But you're not to blame.

On her own time Isla's like that to everyone.

I have no idea what's causing it...

It must be that she wants to remain a machine.

Hey you're off tomorrow right?

Would you mind taking Isla out somewhere?

Even if I asked her she'd turn me down.

If she turns you down she turns you down.

Just ask her the same way you would when you're working together.

No reason to get all worked up over it.

You and Isla should be a good match.

Take it from someone who lived with her for six years...

So have a little confidence!

All right?

Right...

I'm counting on you.

That said...

You better not leer at Isla or anything!

Yes ma'am!

I'd like to spend all day tomorrow with you.

No... "Hey let's hang out tomorrow!"

Too flippant.

Your free time tomorrow... Let me have it!

I sound like a player!

Do you have to go to Tsukasa?

Uh no I'm fine!

Isla about tomorrow...

The thing is...

Right!

I want to thank someone for helping me out at work.

And I'd like you to come with me to pick out a present.

Oh uh...

You don't have to if you don't want to.

All right.

All right.

So?

Well I managed to ask her out but now what do I do?

Why are you wearing your uniform?

Wait don't you have any regular clothes?

I have what I wear at home.

All right in that case...

What do you think of this?

Could you go try it on?

Me?

That's right.

But why?

Oh because see...

The person I want to give it to is about your height!

Well if that's the case...

Tsukasa.

Tsukasa...

What's the matter?

I'm having a problem here...

Help me...

I'm coming in!

Help me...

Wait what's going on exactly?

Miss? Is something the matter?

She let us go when we said we'd buy it!

I caused trouble for you again...

Don't give it another thought!

We can shop for clothes later.

Sorry.

For being so useless.

We met here once before. Do you remember?

So what did you come here to buy that day?

That day I...

Hey...

An herb shop huh?

Do you come here a lot?

Once in a while.

Want to get something now?

Not really.

I-I know! Instead of clothes I'm gonna get some herbs as a gift.

Would you mind telling me what you'd recommend?

What kind of herbs do you seek?

Whatever you like the best Isla.

My preferences are irrelevant.

Tell me about that person.

I'll base my choice on that.

Uh... Let's see she doesn't talk a lot I guess?

At home she's always spacing out...I think.

She's not a big eater.

Actually I'm not sure if she eats at all...

And when it comes to what she likes she's pretty set in her ways.

She sounds like a really annoying person.

H-Hey she isn't really!

But...

Now I have a general idea.

Hey you wear glasses?

What they're reading glasses?

Thanks!

I think that was a good buy!

I'm glad I was of use to you.

An amusement park huh?

Wanna check it out?

Pretty big crowd huh?

Tsukasa just tell me one thing.

Why are we here when you already bought the present?

Huh? Well because...

Actually the person I want to thank...

Well it's you.

The annoying person?

Not to me! Not to me!

Why are you thanking me?

To commemorate our partnership...

Or is that not good enough?

We may be partners...

But it's only a business relationship.

Hey don't be like that.

See I want to do what we did today. Make memories with you even during our time off.

Memories...

Isla?

Error.

If that's the case I cannot go any further.

Since...

I wasn't built in order to play at an amusement park.

Sorry I...

I'll be heading home now.

Why?

Isla...

Even before I got here

was she always alone like this?

The thing is Islacchi won't accept gifts from anyone no matter what.

I'm home!

This is something I bought at the amusement park.

Will you take it?

If you don't want it...

You can toss it later okay?

Tsukasa...I'm sorry for leaving you earlier.

I'm sorry too. My bad for making you come.

With this...

Could you...

...make us some tea?

Thanks.

It's good.
