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

This is just...

Things are moving way too fast...

Episode 9 Izumi May Be Izumi but Izumi Will No Longer Yield to Anyone

It's really hot here.

As you would expect from a southern island.

Let's take lots of great pictures.

Miss Izumi! Miss Mitsuki!

The photo shoot will begin in an hour...

What...

My, Pochi's so hopeless.

He must have been really stressed out after being locked up for so long.

Okay, first up is a swimsuit shoot, Sis.

She's kinda stiff.

Sis, relax.

I'm trying to...

Sorry, everybody.

You all came to help...

And why are all the people here members of Mitsuki's fan club?

Because it'd be expensive to hire a professional photographer, right?

Right, so you say...

We had no choice but to do this because Mitsuki ordered it!

You should be grateful to her!

Don't take any weird pictures like Yoshitaka would!

Don't compare me to that guy!

Like I'd even want pictures of Izumi.

I'd much rather take pictures of Mitsuki...

Somewhere by ourselves...

Yo, Izumi!

You doing a good job?

Nope, huh? Yep, that's what I thought.

Yoshitaka! Why...

I found Izumi!

A-And Anna?

I came after you.

Just so you know,

I'm only here to enjoy the resort.

So you say,

but you're here to interfere, aren't you?!

Why is that even necessary?

Only a tiny niche of freaks would be interested in your photo collection.

You're one to talk!

And that guy who isn't showing the slightest hint of passion

won't be able to take any decent photos!

Bah, it hurts me to say this, but he's right.

Izumi!

Don't become an idol!

I won't have it!

Dad?!

Izumi!

Come back to Japan with me!

Huh?

Mom! Karin?

Big Sis Izumi!

Karin, we'll keep an eye on your father

so he doesn't interfere with your sister's work.

I'll see you later, Izumi. And Anna.

Yes, Mother!

Sis, do your best!

But after coming all the way to this southern island,

I'm running into the same faces...

So sad...

There!

Okay! Take that!

Bouncy bounce!

Wait!

This is how it's supposed to be on a southern island.

What a beautiful person...

I'm not that easy.

Pochi spoke!

It was me.

Pochi can't speak, silly.

He's an alligator.

Th-That's right...

But his behavior is definitely unusual.

He got shot down.

Oh my...

Ellen!

Oh, are these your friends?

What was that sensation just now?

A blond isn't bad...

Looking for adventure at a resort...

Any embarrassment on a trip can be written off.

Hey, Pochi.

You're going to just give up like that?

So what if you fail once or twice!

You just have to keep attacking!

You're up to something, aren't you?

Don't be stupid!

I'm trying to cheer Pochi on!

Don't you feel anything when you see Pochi like this?

So you know how to be nice?

Got it?

Women have a weakness for strong men.

She acted that way to test you!

Understand?

She's expecting you to act!

If she turns you down again, it's only an act!

No matter how hard she resists,

you continue to cling to her, follow her, stick to her...!

Hey, wait!

Okay! Go!

What are you thinking?!

Wouldn't that be considered stalking?!

Really?

I was just giving him normal advice.

Man, sorry about that.

My stupid alligator's been bothering you.

I'm embarrassed to say that he isn't trained very well.

A stupid, vulgar, and greedy perv.

Such a hopeless alligator.

Well? Shall I buy you a meal by way of apology?

My, what a wonderful person.

So that's what you were after?!

Honestly, that was an elaborate scheme!

Your mind works like a perverted old man's!

Don't get in my way, Izumi!

A man is measured by his infidelity!

Forgive me!

I already said that I'm not your wife!

Enemy to all women!

You think you can defeat me today?

Men dream about blond beauties!

Like I care!

You think you can beat me?

You sure about that?

No!

This would be the typical pattern of events in a summer romantic comedy!

You're unbelievable...

Izumi!

Let me go, Anna!

Hey! Wait, Yoshitaka!

Sorry to keep you wait-

Please accept my feelings.

Are you worthy of going out with me?

A pet must be loyal to its owner.

If you're capable of abandoning everything for your master,

I might consider it.

There you have it.

There you have it...?

Isn't that just your guess?

But it looks like I'm right.

What is it?

This is a pose of submission.

Pochi, you're serious...

Okay. If that's the case, I'm willing to take good care of you.

Show your appreciation by groveling before me!

You're as twisted as ever.

Pochi, please get along with her.

In that case, why don't we have dinner to celebrate our new friendship?

Yes, I'd love to.

All right!

Yes! Let's go!

Then allow me to properly introduce myself.

My name is Alicia.

I'm from France.

She's my pet, Ellen.

My hobbies are cooking and sewing.

I'm glad that Pochi and Ellen are getting along now.

Will you bring her back to be your bride?

Damn Pochi...

He's doing just fine...

I still have a ways to go...

I need to make some progress...

No! Izumi!

Dad?!

Izumi!

The entertainment industry is a scary place!

Sis!

Now let's go, dear.

Dad looks like he's in pain.

Don't worry.

I've done much worse to him.

Dad's amazing.

This is bad...

Karin is being converted...

Honestly, what's with that old man?

I would be more than welcome to your mom and Karin joining us though.

You have no fear, do you?

Yoshitaka. Pochi.

Ah, yes!

Would you like to stay at my villa tonight?

Stay at my villa tonight?

Stay at my villa tonight?

Stay at...

What?!

Honestly...

What is that Alicia thinking...

Sis, you certainly have a natural expression on your face...

Ah, sorry.

Are you worried about Master?

Of course not!

I'm worried about Alicia.

Would you like to stay at my villa tonight?

1 will! I will!

Wh-What are you talking about?!

What are you trying to do, Alicia?

In that case...

Would you like to join us, Izumi?

What do you want?

I don't remember calling for you.

Do you insist on going?

I'm pretty sure it's a bad idea.

That person seems kind of strange.

What? Don't tell me you're jealous?

Obviously not!

In any case, I won't let you out of this room!

Pochi!

Okay! Let's go!

I won't let you go!

Anna!

Yes!

We did it!

Good thing I was carrying a cleaver for self defense!

You've gotta be kidding!

Okay, let's break through!

You fell for our trap!

I had Mitsuki set that up!

Well done, Pochi!

Hey!

Wait!

Master and Pochi are invincible today!

Over there!

Alicia!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Some weird stalkers are chasing after us, but I'll quiet them in no time!

What was that?! Some weird stalkers are chasing after us, but I'll quiet them in no time!

What was that?!

What are you talking about...

A scream?!

I won't forget about this!

When we get back...

Shut up!

Call me Master!

M-Master!

Thrills

As I thought, you have potential.

Alicia...

I could tell when I first saw you.

That you were one of us.

It's much more rewarding to

punish a feisty one like him instead of someone meek.

Yes, you're right.

Payback time!

Sis...

Mitsuki... Anna...

Mitsuki, help!

Silence!

That looks fun.

Izumi, punish me!

Take that! And that!

Thank you, Alicia.

I was worried because Sis seemed down recently,

Welcome to hell!

but she seems to be fine now.

Yes, I will no longer yield to anyone!

That's the spirit, Sis!

At this rate, I'm sure your debut event will also go great!

Event?

Huh? Didn't I mention it?

Not yet?

I-lzumil Izumi

No way...

It's amazing.

A huge success.

A bunch of idiots with bizarre tastes.

I didn't expect this many people to pop their heads out for someone like Izumi.

Don't say that!

These people are my precious patrons!

They came all the way out here to cheer me on!

Unlike you, they're all on my side!

Not happening...

Huh?

You're my maid.

A maid only needs one master!

Do you understand?

I'm the only patron you need!

You're being absurd again...

This isn't a joke! I've worked so hard to get here!

That's right, Izumi!

Right? Tell him off, Anna!

I won't let you become an object of desire for those men!

Wh-What are you talking about, Anna?

Izumi belongs to me!

No!

Izumi is mine!

Pochi! Wake up!

At this rate, we'll have a lot more people like her old man around!

Can we allow that to happen?!

There you have it, Izumi!

Huh?

Where is Izumi?

Over there!

I finally have a chance! Don't get in my way!

Izumi!

My costume!

Where did you go, Izumi?!

Stupid thing! Stupid thing!

My head! Hurts!

Here's the finishing blow!

Whoa...

Wow!

Why are they doing this?

Behave yourself.

I don't wish to use force.

No! What are you doing?!

Stop, Anna!

Look at you struggle...

Almost as if we're doing something naughty...

Though I wouldn't mind trying it occasionally...

Izumi!

What's wrong with them?

Give me a break already!

Izumi!

Mom.

Is it okay for you to leave her alone?

Sis should be fine.

I believe in her.

Wait, Izumi!

Don't you know when to give up?!

You're one to talk!

Like I said...

You can't become an idol.

Izumi...

Stay mine alone...

You belong to your father.

Is this the end?

It can't be...

Gods!

Don't give up, Izumi.

You should have woken up already.

Isn't that right?

That again?!

It's show time.

Your future lies beyond that light.

I'm sure you can make it there.

I can make it to the other side...

I won't let that happen!

You won't be able to order me around any longer!

Damn it...

I'm going to claw my way up! Out of my current way of living!

My freedom is on the other side...

A place where nobody will get in my way...

My future...

Now!

Bow before me!

Huh?

Po-Pochi!

No!

Stop! Hey!

No! Pochil!

No! No, stop that!

Pochi!

Geez!

You people too?!

Izumi Sawatari Votes Takami Sugita ~~ Votes

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

What? Really, Anna?

Yes!

I've actually been after you this entire time!

Honest to God! I'm not lying!

It might not be a bad idea to forget about that pain, Izumi,

and settle for someone handy to satisfy me.

Then let's get to it!

J-Just do as you wish. So what are you doing?

Well, there are all kinds of things...

All kinds of things!

I-I just can't stand this man!

You shouldn't spoil the story, Anna.

That was a groundbreaking preview.
