Original subtitles

The two of us can make it on our own,

without relying on anybody else.

It will be fine.

I'm sure that everything will work out.

Mom and Dad will understand one day.

I will always have faith

As I hold onto my never-ending dreams

Trust me, my way

Don't mind

At times, these feelings

May lead me in circles

What's wrong with being a little positive?

Just be yourself

But you know, a jumbled-up scenario

Will gradually lead to a tomorrow we can love

(Trust my way)

The wind

Brushes against my cheek

We can continue at this breezy pace

Both comfortable and fun

For all time

Feelings that will never change

As I hold onto my never-ending dreams

Trust me, my way

How many more places are we checking today?

Let's call it a day.

We can save the rest for tomorrow.

We'll continue tomorrow.

We were turned away from every part-time job.

Where are we staying tonight?

Sis?

Anyway, let's go.

Where are we going?

You have a place in mind?

WATCH OUT FOR MOLESTERS

Yeah, for now...

A place with a roof, I guess.

Episode 1 He Is My Master!?

Wow...

This mansion is huge.

So, these places really do exist.

Ah, it's a cat. So, these places really do exist.

Well, it's got nothing to do with us.

Sis! Sis!

What is it, Mitsuki?

Look! Look!

Such a big yard!

It's looking more and more like a place that wouldn't need us.

Sis! Sis!

Here! Look at this!

What is it this time, Mitsuki?

URGENT NOTICE!! SEEKING LIVE-IN HOUSEKEEPER. ON THE SPOT INTERVIEWS.

Housekeeper?

Housekeeper, huh?

Wow! It's a live-in job! That's perfect!

But you know, I'm not very good at housework.

Don't worry! It will work out somehow!

Live-in! Live-in! Live-in!

I'm sure it's an old person who needs help.

I hope it's someone kind.

You're right.

Let's hear what they have to say first.

Okay!

But this seems to be an awfully lonely place.

It doesn't feel like there's anybody around.

Sis, look at all the carp!

Wow!

Each one of these costs hundreds of thousands of yen.

Mitsuki!

Sis!

Man, I'm totally soaked now.

Mitsuki, pull out a change of clothes.

Why are you perfectly fine and I fell in?

Sorry...

No!

A perv!

How am I a perv?

Hell! This is my house!

You're the one who chose to take off your clothes!

B-But you had that sloppy grin.

So, it's the same thing!

Wha...

Um... Um... Wha...

Um... Um...

We saw the ad out front.

Are you still looking for a housekeeper?

Where's the master of the place?

I see...

I'm the only person living here right now.

My parents died a short while back, in a traffic accident.

I'm an only child with no relatives,

and this house is too big for one person to live in.

So, I considered hiring a housekeeper to brighten the place up.

Um...

Sorry about suddenly hitting you earlier.

I'm Izumi Sawatari, fourteen years old.

I'm her little sister, Mitsuki, thirteen years old.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Yoshitaka Nakabayashi.

That's right.

Why don't you take a warm bath before we get down to business?

You must be cold after standing out in the rain, especially after you fell into the pond.

I didn't fall in by choice!

Now, now...

You'll find the house's magnificent bathing facilities back there.

It's a natural hot spring which draws water from five kilometers under the ground.

So, it's always ready for use.

Well, I'll be waiting back in the reception area.

Um... Um!

What is it?

Thank you.

Yoshitaka seems like a nice person.

You think?

Uh-huh!

I-1 guess so.

Such a huge bath!

Wait! You have to wash yourself first!

I'd given up on taking a bath today!

I feel so much better now!

That's right...

We didn't ask about wages or anything.

Housekeeper, huh?

It just somehow turned out this way.

I wonder if this will work out?

Oh, well.

Hey! What is this?!

That's right, it's a little plain.

That's not the issue here!

We haven't decided if we're working here yet!

Come to the reception area when you've put these clothes on. - Yoshitaka

But you still put it on.

I didn't have a choice! This was the only thing to wear!

Where's the reception area?

No clue...

A house is just a place to live in, yet look at the size.

I can't understand the logic of rich people.

In any case...

It looks like he's really the only person in this house.

That's why he's going to hire us, right?

But shouldn't he have a servant or two?

He wouldn't need to hire us if he did.

I guess that's true.

Hey, Yoshitaka!

Doesn't leave much of an impression, but I guess it's not bad.

What are you talking about?!

Don't make us wear these clothes without our permission!

You're the ones who put them on.

That's because there was nothing else to wear!

It's only natural for a maid to wear a maid uniform.

What's your beef?

It's a little plain.

Don't be fooled, Mitsuki!

Hey, now, I'm the master of this house.

There's no reason for me to be ordered around by my maids.

You shouldn't be so full of yourself because you live in a big mansion!

But that's not all,

I have more money than I could ever use.

Don't you feel any guilt towards your parents?!

It's not that I don't feel sad about the death of my parents,

but think about it.

Isn't it a rather sweet deal

to be free of your parents at such a young age

on top of a jackpot inheritance?

H-How can you say such a thing?! I can't believe you!

I got rid of all the former servants who were giving me an earful.

URGENT NOTICE!! SEEKING LIVE-IN HOUSEKEEPER. ON THE SPOT INTERVIEWS.

So, that's why you ended up all alone?

And I felt sorry for you because I thought you were lonely.

You're despicable!

Fine, I'd rather endure wet clothes!

Let's go, Mitsuki!

Wait, Sis.

Girl's got sass.

But this was unexpected.

I thought that middle school maids were the stuff of fantasy.

I was expecting someone like this to show up.

That was a big mistake.

I can't deny that I wasn't prepared.

But I'll probably never get this chance again.

I won't let it slip away!

Oh, yeah, this bag is Mitsuki's...

Um, I have a favor to ask.

Hmm? What is it?

Don't open this bag while we're taking a bath, no matter what.

Got it, I won't open it.

No matter what.

No matter what.

Man, it's been so long since a girl's asked me for anything. No matter what.

Well, then, let's see what's inside.

Huh?

What?

That sounds like Pochi!

Po-Pochi!

Yoshitaka opened the bag.

I-It's gonna eat me!

Don't worry.

He just wanted to see how you tasted.

What's that supposed to mean?!

Pochi always checks how people taste when he meets them for the first time.

It seems that he didn't like you.

Pochi?

And what the hell is that?! What kind of creature is it?!

Pochi's an alligator.

Isn't he cute?

St-Stay away!

No!

Wh-What?

Pochi is really attached to Sis.

No!

She seems to really hate him though. No!

Ah, Pochi's eyes have turned red.

Once that's happened, he won't be calming down for a while.

No! Once that's happened, he won't be calming down for a while.

Not bad!

Not bad, but something's missing!

Is that it? Is it the outfit?!

I didn't expect such a cute girl, much less two, to come be my maids!

Still, I keep a dress shirt around in case a naked girl happens to drop by!

Yoshitaka... Still, I keep a dress shirt around in case a naked girl happens to drop by!

Still, I keep a dress shirt around in case a naked girl happens to drop by!

Along with a pair of thick glasses in case she happens to be nearsighted!

Yoshitaka... Damn...

I brought a watermelon, so let's eat it together. It was stupid of me to think that it would be

more realistic for a teacher who had just graduated from an all-girls university

and was all worried after I had been absent for so long to come check on me!

How could I have been so foolish?!

The worst mistake I could ever make!

No!

That's it!

That's right, it might be cuter if it's shorter.

No! St-Stop!

Help! No!

Stay away, Pochi!

I said to stay away!

I said to stay away, so stay away and stay away!

Hey, you people!

How about helping me instead of standing there and watching?!

That's it!

I need to record this.

Heartless bastard!

It looks like he's finally satisfied.

This will be my lifelong treasure...

Animal!

Still...

What were the two of you planning to do with that alligator in tow?

You probably ran away from home.

How would you know that?

Of course I would.

Normal middle-school students wouldn't be looking

for a live-in job with an alligator in tow.

I know that!

So what?!

Pochi has nothing to do with you!

Why are you defending him?

It sure seemed like you hated him.

Don't tell me you're into that kind of stuff?

Of course not!

Well, I don't want to hear a hypocrite like you call me despicable.

Wh-What are you talking about?

You ran away from your home because you couldn't stand it there, right?

0-Of course, that's why we ran away.

That means the two of you thought your parents were annoying, right?

That's why you abandoned your home, right?

Which means you aren't any better than me, right?

What?!

Similar people should get along together.

Of course, the two of you will be my maids.

Call me Master-

Don't put me...

on the same level as you!

Yo-Yoshitaka?

Sis...

Th-This is, well, um...

That's it! It was self-defense!

It will be fine! The gods weren't looking.

Where did we put the stamp for signing the contract?

Well, he should be able to take care of the rest himself once he wakes up.

Okay, let's go, Mitsuki.

It doesn't matter how nice the house is when the master's like this.

It's no use. Let's look elsewhere.

I was dreaming?

Goddamn it!

How could you fall in the same river twice in one day?

Why does everything keep happening to me?

Wow...

These are some rare flowers, Sis.

Mitsuki! Look out!

I'm being carried away! Oh, no! Sis fell into the river again!

Pochi! Hurry!

What do we do?

All of my belongings are soaked now.

I can't go anywhere like this.

LARGE CREAM BREAD

The one we bought this morning was safe.

Let's split it then.

This bread has so much cream. It's delicious.

R-Really? There's nothing in mine.

Really?

It's fine, I was saving it for you.

Anyway, did you bring something to keep you warm?

The nights are still cold.

Well...

Five CDs...

A CD player...

Playing cards...

The earrings I just got for my birthday...

You're going to be freezing come morning.

That's 'cause it's my first time sleeping outside,

but it's more fun than I expected.

Like camping out.

I hope we don't run into any trouble.

We have to find a job tomorrow.

Do you have any ideas?

When you put it that way...

Hey, wait! You shouldn't sound like it has nothing to do with you.

You're right.

Sorry, I'm getting a little worried.

You're homesick?

That's not it!

This is...

It's a blueprint for our future home.

A six bedroom apartment with a living room, dining room and kitchen for two households.

Your room faces east and mine is next to yours.

There's a living room here and Mom and Dad's room is here.

Uh, you realize that we ran away from home...

Karin can stay with them for now. Uh, you realize that we ran away from home...

And Pochi's room is here.

The house I came up with when I was little is much better than this sloppy mess.

What was it like?

Well...

There was a huge tree and we would carve rooms inside it.

All of the furniture would be made from the tree.

Sounds childish.

It was a dream I had as a child!

My home would have a premade kitchen with a steam oven.

And the heated floors would keep us warm in the winter.

And it would run on solar power so we could sell extra electricity to the power company.

What's with that?

My home would grow bigger every year!

That's so weird.

Your dream is too realistic!

It's cold.

I'm hungry.

Are we supposed to be little match girls?

Come over here. It won't be as cold if we huddle together.

It's so warm.

Sorry, Mitsuki.

Are you sure you don't want to go home?

You were the one who said we should run away from home.

I chose to go with you because it made me so happy.

Come on, get closer.

That means the two of you thought your parents were annoying, right?

Which means you aren't any better than me, right?

He's wrong!

I didn't want to end up alone the way he did.

I suppose I shouldn't be worrying about appearances.

I refuse to lose!

To a jerk like him...

Sis drew the old maid again!

Wicked! Damn wicked!

Idea after idea surging out of my mind!

I'm going to make them pay for this!

They'll feel the full force of my boiling passion!

Don't think you can escape with that alligator in tow!

The sweeter they look

The less chance they're fragile or weak

Girls can be pretty tough

It's also important to be able

To enjoy stubbornly running around in circles!

There's plenty of spice in that smile

What do you think?

An exhilarating secret

Which destroys common sense

Is hidden well underneath their skirts

These feelings were made from lots of love

Because I want to dream of the moment I swoon

Young ladies mature with lots of love

Because they're holding onto thrills and shine

Next Episode

I couldn't find a job.

I fell into the river twice.

And Pochi...

But the worst part was meeting someone like Yoshitaka.

I didn't expect such a selfish and messed up jerk to be living in such a wonderful mansion!

Why are you so quiet, Mitsuki?

You should say something, too.

I foresee many more interesting happenings.

Can't wait!
