Yasuko and Kenji Episode 6 Translator: am.donut

Ah... Yasuko. The miso soup today tastes great!

It's super!

Really?

Thanks.

Don't kiss up to her!

She's just a girl.

- Okay. - You're surprisingly energetic today.

It's just fun once in awhile to get away from work.

It's nice to get a full meal.

Ajidasu.

Yes, sir.

There's mistakes on page 5 and 8, so fix them up.

Oh, I'm sorry, sir!

Eat first!

Sorry, sir.

Who is that?

Yes?

Who is...

Tsubaki!

Morning.

Sorry for coming so suddenly.

What's wrong?

Um, nothing...

D-don't tell me...

that Tsubaki's going to ask me out on a date?

Oki.

Let's go to the beach. Just the two of us.

What a sudden change of events!

What should I do?

Um... is your brother here?

That guy?

What do you want, youngster?

Um...

Can I...

help you in your work?

Huh?

I think I can learn how to live like a man from you.

I'll take a break from prep school.

What's with this change?

I like...

When I'm a full-fledged man, I want to be just like him.

Tsubaki is picking him over me?

Stupid idiot!

We just finished eating!

- All you high schoolers do is play around... - First!

You'll have to clean up.

Is that okay?

Ajidasu.

Yes, sir.

Bring the house rags.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

Well, I'm going to get some more tea. Tsubaki would you like to...

You have prep school! Leave now.

Uh... I'm not feeling so well.

It's a slight fever

and cough?

I also have the chills.

- It's cold! - You're not sick!

Go!

Okay...

After prep school ends, I have to rush right home!

There's no way that I'm going to lose to him!

But I wonder why...

he's okay with helping Tsubaki out?

Well, never mind.

Why is he letting him clean up?

I dunno...

Perhaps he's looking for a new assistant?

You're gonna be fired.

What?!

For 10 years, you've just been tagging along.

- No way... - I'm kidding, kidding.

Quit that out. Don't you have any shame?

Jun became Kenji's assistant?

Yes.

He stopped by this morning and my heart was racing.

Why am I so jealous...

Eh?

That's not what I meant.

Doesn't it mean that Jun will be around Kenji for a long time?

Well...

Yeah.

I'm burning with jealousy because of my brother.

Well, how about you come over some time...

with Tsubaki.

Is that okay?

Yes, of course!

But... that's too...

Um...

Is it okay to clean up and close?

I need to leave work a little early.

Oh, you do?

Go ahead and start clearing up.

Yes, ma'am! Thank you very much!

If you'll excuse me.

That's rare to see Kaori asking to leave work early.

She's been leaving early a lot more recently, even last week.

She's been training herself, hasn't she?

Oh, prep school's ending soon.

Thanks for letting me hang out with you.

Hurry, hurry, Tsubaki!

I'm home.

Welcome home.

You were studying like you were supposed to, right?

Ah...

Of course.

Tsubaki!

I'm going to start dinner, if it's okay with you...

I'm going to make chowder with lots of clams.

Also salmon meuniere sauce.

Ch-chowder... Meuni...

I've never ate such a thing before!

Don't get too fancy!

But I already bought the ingredients.

Geez...

That's all for today, youngster. Go home.

Yes, sir.

What? At least let him stay for dinner.

No way!

I don't have time to waste until work is done.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.

We didn't get to spend any time together at all.

Pops, mom.

It's perfect.

When Yasuko is out, the youngster is here.

Contact between them is completely closed off.

He's working hard, huh?

He's going to get cut soon.

Yasuko, how's it going with Tsubaki?

Well...

I think it's going well.

Right now, we're under the same roof.

You're living together?!

- Well, not that way... - What's with this bluffing?

Why would Dear Tsubaki date a girl of your level?

Unbelievable.

Hey! That's sorta rude.

Apologize now.

I won't forgive you for spreading lies just because Dear Tsubaki's not here at prep school.

Let's go.

Damn that girl!

I'm sorry, but it's not a lie.

Because Tsubaki...

is actually at my house right now!

I can't be studying right now!

I'm leaving early!

Tsubaki, wait for me!

Ouch...

Ah.

Huh...?

Isn't that Kaori?

Wow!

Somehow, she's walking so femininely now.

I wonder what's up with Kaori.

Don't tell me...

Sorry, sorry!

Did you wait long?

No, I just got here.

She has a boyfriend, after all?!

This is...

so scandalous!

Great.

Shall we go now?

Yes!

I'm sorry.

They called me in for a meeting suddenly.

Don't worry, it's okay.

Please do your best at work!

Well, see you!

I saw all of that, Kaori!

The guy you saw earlier, I met him through chatting online.

Chatting?!

Wow! So hi-tech!

Then he invited me out to eat.

His name is Satoshi.

How do you write his name?

With the characters, listen, public and heart.

He has "listen" in his name?! Amazing!

Why are you getting so excited though...

Are you okay with this though?

Because...

you're...

I know!

It just means that I have to hold back my tomboy behavior.

Five years ago, Ryosuke...

Found out everything about me.

Then Hide, her ex, got involved...

Three ribs,

one tooth,

all busted.

How horrible.

But!

It's different this time! Satoshi is different!

He's a hard worker at a trading firm

and he's extremely kind to me.

He's a gentleman!

If that's the case, I'm fine with it.

He looks like he's serious about you.

I'm... going to put my all into this.

I want to be happy with Satoshi!

From now on, we're now known as the 3 love-seeking ladies!

Let's put our best foot forward and do our best!

Fight-oh...

Oh!!!

Dummies!

Welcome home, sir!

I got you guys some red bean pastries.

Thank you, sir!

1, 2, 3, 4.

He gets one.

You get the second.

Me, the third.

He gets the fourth...?

Boss, about this...

What?

Oh, never mind.

Let's eat! It's gonna get cold.

Youngster! Get tea!

Yes, sir.

Here.

Um, boss.

Why are you helping the youngster out?

Yeah, I thought it was weird.

The work's been piling up.

Well, if you're busy then how about letting him help out some more?

Ya-Yasuko, that's...

Tsubaki's smart and he's logical.

Oh, how about formally employing him?

Don't mess around! He's just a damn high schooler!

Hey, how can you say something like that!

I won't permit having an assistant like that guy!

Having three assistants is better! Right?

Boss, we'll work extra hard!

He's just a twerp.

Having him here is a distraction!

- We don't need some honor student here! - What's wrong with being an honor student!

- You know, Tsubaki is... - Shut up!

Please do not hardsub, rent, sell, or stream these subtitles! Translator: am.donut

Why did you guys have to come with me?

It's okay. I want to properly greet them since I'm your guardian.

I know that's not the reason.

Erika.

You understand, right?

Today, you have to...

Yes.

Today, I have to...

be gentle.

Why the hell did you come here unexpectedly?

I wanted to say hello and say thanks for helping my brother!

What?!

But... I invited them.

Look, Erika even brought us something.

I don't want it!

What are you doing here anyway?!

Prove to me that these aren't spiked!

I went through the trouble of bringing this and you speak to me that way?!

What's with your face, chicken legs!

Damn you!

Look who's talking, you praying mantis bitch!

Who are you calling a praying mantis, you asshole!

You piss me off and do something about your hair!

Why don't you do something about your bug eyes!

Hey!

Can you just go home?

I apologize.

I would like to start working.

Erika.

Get the house rags!

Let him clean up.

Yes, sir!

Damn, how dare he, that skinny punk.

What have I done?

No matter how gentle I am...

Don't worry about it.

Someday, you'll be able to talk to him normally.

Do you think?

Of course.

That's why you have to do your best.

You're right.

Even though it seems impossible now,

someday, I hope I'll be able to talk to Kenji normally.

That's right! That's exactly what I mean!

More gentle...?

I can't believe that praying mantis bitch!

Hey.

What are you doing in my area?

I'm sorry.

- Ajidasu, he's... - I told him to help.

Youngster, you done?

Yes, sir.

How is it?

Not too bad.

Thank you.

How can that damn brat take my spot that requires 10 years of training?

You just made a 20 billion yen aircraft deal?

That's so amazing!

It's not a big deal.

Is that her...?

I really respect you for that, Satoshi.

- Satoshi? - You're great too, Kaori.

Eh?

Aren't you in charge of financing at the Sumimoto Bank?

Yeah...

Bank?

You handle about 1 billion yen in loans, right?

Yup.

Yeah, I deal with these big accounts often.

What an idiot.

What man would like a liar like that?

Well, I'll be seeing you.

Sure.

I'll be in touch.

Okay!

Bye.

Yuck.

Hello, praying mantis bitch.

Did your date go well?

Damn you...

You know, women like you who have their underwear hanging out, grosses me out.

What are you talking about, chicken legs! Shut up!

Huh?! Do you want me to save that guy from hell by telling him the truth?!

Pitiful.

Watch where you're going!

What did you say, punk!

Shut the hell up!

What on earth were you thinking?

I already told you that violence is out of the question!

I apologize.

Even though it's settled this time, what if someone finds out?

It'll be all over.

I'm sorry. It's because of my clumsiness.

It's not the boss's fault!

I'll take full responsibility for his stupidity.

But boss!

I apologize.

In the future,

if this happens again, you're fired! Fired... Got that?

Yes.

So, you and Ajidasu were childhood friends?

Yeah, we were.

I've known him since kindergarten.

Damn, chicken legs...

Once it came down to business, he got all scared like a coward.

Be careful, Kaori.

You're always one to act rash.

I know.

I'm very sorry.

Well, I'm glad that at least your injury isn't major.

So, how is it going with Satoshi?

Is everything going well?

Well... Yesterday,

we had dinner together.

Really?

That sounds nice.

Hey, hey. Why don't you introduce him to us next time?

I want to talk to him to see what kind of person he is!

- Uh, no. That's... - I got it!

How about we have a party here?

If we do that, it'll be some publicity for the shop, too.

That's a good idea.

Isn't it? Let's do it!

Then I can properly greet him as Kaori's boss!

Please don't!

Eh?

Well...

Boss!

I'm sorry!

Because I'm stupid!

Next time, I'll be sure to look out for him.

Do you even know why I'm mad?

I'm not mad about the fact that you got in a fight.

Can you be a pro like this?

What?

Youngster! Sit down and take over for him.

What?

Hurry up and do it.

Yes, sir.

I lied to Satoshi.

You lied?

I told him that I worked at a bank.

Of course, I didn't tell him about being in a gang.

Why would you...

Because.

If I told him the truth, he probably wouldn't want to be with me.

From ex-gang member to working part-time... I would probably be dumped already.

This isn't like you at all.

By lying like this, he'll find out eventually.

That's why...

I already know that!

But if I told him the truth, it would be all over!

Who would want to date a stupid woman who was an ex-gang member like myself?!

I'm not like you, Erika!

You have it good, Erika.

You're feminine, you have a pretty face, and your family is rich.

I'm not fortunate enough to be born with those qualities.

You don't understand how I feel!

So, just butt out!

Kaori.

Do you really think you'll be happy like this?

Telling lies to deceive someone that you like...

Do you really think you'll be happy by doing that?

Your strength

is your ability to be straight-forward, isn't it?

I don't want to see you hesitant and going around in circles by lying like this!

Kaori.

Don't worry.

Our bond

won't be broken because of this.

Welcome home, Oki.

Tsubaki.

Hm...

Where's everyone?

They stopped working today.

Someone from the publisher came,

and made a big deal about Ajidasu getting into a fight.

So, that's why I'm here.

Bye.

Tsubaki.

How is it working for my brother?

I really respect your brother, Mosu and Ajidasu.

I see.

I'm doing my best not to get in the way.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.

Where did everyone go?

It feels weird that no one's around.

Ajidasu has sworn to be your assistant for the rest of his life, right?

He can't even color pictures correctly and he's a total novice.

It's like a miracle.

Yeah, you may be right.

The three of you plan to work together forever even if they are just your assistants?

No.

Once they mature as comic artists,

I plan to let them debut solo.

But...

that's why I have to take responsibility and train them more.

But even if you train them constantly, will they become something?

But isn't it your duty as their mentor to cut them off in advance if they aren't suited for the job?

Welcome!

Yasuko!

What are you doing here at a time like this?

It's okay. I'm busy with things too, you know.

The special curry please.

Alright.

I have no talent as a comic artist, right?

Why are you saying that so suddenly?

Because...

I've been the boss's assistant for 10 years.

That means even to this day, I'm still painted as a hack.

Hey, don't say stuff like that! Let's go home!

Are you for real, Satoshi?

She's a big joke.

What are you talking about?

He's talking about the one he met through chatting.

- Did you do it yet? - Yeah, of course.

It's that guy...

You know him?

That's Kaori's guy.

That Kaori lady,

works at a bank.

I think I can get some money outta her.

She believed me, a hack, when I said I was a business man.

Isn't she super dumb?

Stop.

I can't believe that!

We don't want to be a nuisance to the boss if another problem pops up.

Don't repeat the same mistake!

Telling lies to deceive someone that you like...

Do you really think you'll be happy by doing that?

[ Satoshi ]

I'm very sorry.

You were just worried about me and I said things to you like a little brat...

I sincerely apologize!

I know full well.

That it won't work out like this.

That's why...

Don't bow like that.

It's okay.

You can tell him because you're Kaori.

No matter what happens, you have to fight back.

That's the Black Rose spirit, isn't it?

I'm meeting Satoshi today

and I'll honestly confess.

I'll finally tell him about my true self.

I'm very sorry.

Hey! Praying mantis bitch!

What do you want?

Are you meeting that guy right now?

That guy named Satoshi from the other day.

What?!

So what if I am?

He's been tricking you.

Tricking me?

I heard him talking to his friends about it.

He's gonna mooch money from you.

What are you saying? Why are you harassing me?!

I'm not doing that!

Don't tell me that you're going to give him money?

It has nothing to do with you.

Butt out!

Hey!

My love is on the line here!

He's the first and the last one for me!

So, don't get in the way of that! Got it?!

Don't go.

Huh?

Back off, chicken legs!

That's great.

Do your best, Kaori!

Morning.

Good morning.

Ajidasu is your hand okay?

It's fine since I went to the hospital.

I see. Don't push yourself too much.

For lunch, I'm making your favorite omelet rice.

Thank you.

Hey!

Yes?

If you don't wanna be a hack, at least clean up.

Alright!

Dummy.

Hey, youngster!

You better put more spirit into it

since this is my important job, you know.

- Yes, sir. - Alright.

Ajidasu.

I'm done making lunch.

Ajidasu?

[ Resignation ]

Where's Ajidasu at?

He's not. Look!

Huh?

Damn that guy...

Why would Ajidasu do such a thing?

I'm certain that he went to go see Kaori's guy.

You mean Satoshi?

Yesterday, we saw him.

He said he was going to get some money outta Kaori.

What?

To be honest, that Ajidasu is in love with Kaori.

Ever since they were young.

In order to protect Kaori,

and to hide this from the boss, he resorted to this.

Keep this secret from the boss...

Boss.

Um...

I'm sorry if this sounds selfish.

Please fire me today.

Thank you very much for everything up till now.

Boss,

Even though I'm stupid, I can't thank you enough for having me as your assistant.

Being able to work by your side

has made me extremely happy.

I was happiest when drawing comics seriously with you.

Mosu!

I'm very grateful to you for teaching me various things and for dealing with my clumsiness.

- With more care, more care! - Am I doing it wrong?

If you hadn't saved me,

I would've quit a long time ago.

Yasuko!

I don't know why, but your smile always fixes things.

Do your best, do your best!

Thank you.

It's not good if you sweat.

Can you taste this?

Oh.

- How is it? - It's yummy!

Oh, I'm glad that it tastes good.

Because you were around,

I felt better from always laughing.

I can't say thank you enough to everyone for accepting a guy like me into your family.

Thank you very much.

Even after I die, I'll never forget the 10 years that I spent at this house.

I'll never... ever forget.

Ajidasu...

That idiot.

Boss!

You can't do it!

Please consider Ajidasu's feelings.

The 10 years we've had,

the 10 years of protecting him,

please don't throw that away!

Satoshi.

I'm sorry!

Eh?

I've been lying to you this entire time.

I don't work at a bank, I'm just a floater.

I'm truly sorry.

But I brought what little money I had...

Please use this for your mother's surgical bills.

This amount of money is useless to me!

I thought I could embezzle money from you since you said you worked at a bank.

What a big disappointment.

Hey!

I've had enough fun with you.

Satoshi...

Damn chicken legs!

Why did you come here for!

What do you want?

Shut up!

Hey, get up.

Don't touch her!

Don't you lay one finger on my woman!

She's...

She's the woman I love!

Ever since I was young.

Are you stupid?

How lame to have a chicken shit like this love you.

Who are you calling chicken shit!

Don't you dare touch Kaori, the woman I love!

You know!

If you're going to say that, show me by being stronger!

Bastard!!!

Ajidasu!

We have a deadline.

Boss...

Mosu.

Who are you?

Get them!

Boss.

Damn slacker.

Kaori.

Are you okay?

- I'm okay. - Ajidasu...

Yasuko.

I'm sorry about this.

Don't worry about that.

I've been tricked again.

But

he came and saved me.

This dummy here.

He fought with his life for me.

Is that so?

Isn't that great?

Bastard!

You dummies!

What are you worrying about!

Apologize to the boss!

I'm sorry.

But I'm a dummy,

and I'm quick to fight...

I know I have no talent as a comic artist!

Look, I've been an assistant for 10 years!

I'll always be painted as the fragile hack.

That's why I didn't want to bother the boss with this!

[ Resignation ]

What is this, huh?

You'll never be separated from me...

not even a 100 years!

Listen.

The two of you dummies and I, us three... I thought we created Sakuraba Reika together from the start.

You're my family.

Do you have a problem with that, bastard?

No, sir.

Heal your right hand in two days!

Heal it with your fighting spirit!

Yes, sir!

You idiot.

Ouch!

It doesn't hurt!

Yes, sir!!!

Let's go.

Yes, sir!

Can you stand?

I'm sorry.

It hurts!

I think I've been unlucky in love because I've been waiting for this day.

I think so, too.

It's all your fault that we have an all-nighter now!

I'm sorry, sir!

Damn idiot.

I'm not going to your house.

Eh?

Well, I mean I don't think I can.

I'm no match for those guys

the way I am now.

I see.

Look forward to it.

Oki Kenji.

What's is this...

I have this uneasiness in my chest...

- Hurry up! - Yes, sir!

What have you done!

Just die now!
