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 wrong!

Yoshitaka, we should take Izumi and Mitsuki back from Seiichiro!

Well, I lost the contest...

What's with the attitude?

You should eat if you're hungry.

You never touch anything...

No, it's okay...

Geez! That's not like you!

What happened to the mean and shameless Yoshitaka?!

Izumi aside...

Mitsuki said she wanted to leave.

I can't do anything to stop her.

There's nothing I can do...

You damn loser!

You and I can't do anything by ourselves.

That's not true!

Even if we're all alone, if the two of us work together...

You and I?

Yes! You and I!

Who else is there?

Right now, you and I are the only ones in this house.

No, that doesn't mean we should give up.

Even if we're all alone, as long as we work together...

Wait, all alone?

All alone...

All alone?!

Yoshitaka and I are all alone?

Under one roof out of anyone's reach...

All alone!

Episode 11 Yoshitaka, Oh So Far Away

I'm going to be all alone with Yoshitaka in this house...

The worst crisis in my life will continue for the rest of my life...

Ah, Anna.

S-Stay away!

I'm still saving myself for Izumi!

That's what you're worried about?

It's fine. I won't do anything.

Now that Izumi and Mitsuki have left, I'm no longer in the mood...

Yoshitaka's weird!

What about you, Anna? Why are you still in this house?

lzumi's already gone.

Th-That may be so,

but didn't I sign a contract?

Oh? That's what you're worried about?

That thing wasn't legally binding.

Didn't you know?

You can't make minors work.

That's a lie!

You're going to use it to threaten me when you need to!

That's obviously your plan.

You're free to leave whenever you like.

I mean, your cooking's so bad that I can't eat it.

Is that true, Yoshitaka?

I can leave?

I'm just saying that you can do whatever you want.

If you're gonna leave, hurry it up.

I might change my mind later...

No! Stay away!

Ow...

She hit me as hard as she could...

Now I'm all alone, huh?

IZUMI SAWATARI'S FIRST PHOTOBOOK

SOLD out

Only authorized personnel allowed.

Good work, Miss Izumi.

I'm exhausted...

There will be a small concert in a short bit.

You need to practice your choreography first.

Th-There's still more?!

Isn't Izumi's schedule a bit too rough?

Ah, please don't move, Master.

But it's better if Sis is this busy right now.

I see you're doing well.

Sis.

Mom! Karin!

Karin...

It's amazing, Sis!

You kept your promise.

Of course.

I worked hard.

Oh, Mitsuki must have been responsible for your costume coordination.

And it looks cute!

Yeah, but how could you tell?

It's only natural.

I was the one who taught Mitsuki.

Right?

And here, look.

I also made some.

Wouldn't a mother-daughter idol group be original?

It'd be more embarrassing than original!

I'm only joking.

I see you're as energetic as always, Izumi.

Not really...

I'm exhausted after being forced to work from morning to night every day.

Really? That's nice.

That's nice?!

Allow me to introduce you.

This person is our new master.

N-Nice to meet you.

A new freak?

You're such a kidder...

Big Brother? Big Sister?

Which?

Big Brother...

I'll go remove my makeup.

Pochi's over there so let's go play.

Karin, sorry.

I still have to work.

I can't live with you just yet.

It's okay.

I'll be fine 'cause I can always see you!

But it's too bad about Yoshitaka.

Don't say that!

I'm finally free of him.

Really? You made a cute couple.

Don't tease me.

If that's all you have to say, take Dad and leave.

He's probably somewhere around here.

H-Hey! What is that guy doing?!

L-Let me go!

I'm Izumi's father!

We share the same blood!

Don't lie!

Where would you find a father with bloodshot eyes?!

Right here!

Damn it!

Izumi!

Pochi, it's Karin.

Pochi!

Pochi, let's work hard again today.

What's wrong, Pochi?

Pochi looks down.

Well, it is pretty tough, but I feel like working hard right now.

Getting out of that sick mansion took a weight off my shoulders.

I see.

You seemed a little down,

but that's a relief if I was just imagining it.

Mom...

Honestly though...

Feel free to return to Yoshitaka whenever you want!

Geez...

Leave already if that's all you have to say!

Come on, Izumi...

N-No!

Wh-What is this?

A stray dog?

How did it get in?

Smells like garbage!

Get off me already!

Where do you think you're touching me, you perverted dog?!

Huh?

What's wrong, Sis?

Anna?

Izumi...

Wh-What on earth happened, Anna?

Izumi!

A-Anna!

Izumi! A-Anna!

Izumi! S-Stop it!

S-Stop it!

I missed you so much, Izumi!

Cut that out already!

Geez!

S-Sorry, that was out of reflex...

So I lost control and ran away from Yoshitaka's house.

I can't remember anything that happened afterward...

But...

The next thing I knew, I was resting in 1zumi's bosom.

You must have been through a hard journey, Anna.

Izumi must be happy to have someone care so much about her.

Say, Anna.

Wouldn't this be a good time for you to return home?

You never had a real reason to run away from home to begin with.

Absolutely not!

Izumi, don't belittle me!

If you're never returning to that house,

I'll really become a nun!

Huh?!

Is that okay?

I'll shave my head!

You have a home to return to.

It's wrong for you to throw that away.

You're not being fair.

Weren't you the one who left your home first?!

It's not fair when you left first...

How could you just leave me behind...

You don't need to cry, Anna.

Why don't you come work at my place?

I'd love to have another cute girl around.

That's what I intended to do anyway.

Oh...

Miss Izumi, it's about to begin.

Please prepare yourself.

Y-Yes!

But what do I do about this costume?

Why does it smell like wet dog?

What's wrong, Izumi?

This is when you should use this.

Th-That?!

It's not as exciting without Pochi.

U-Um, isn't it a lovely day today? It's not as exciting without Pochi.

U-Um, isn't it a lovely day today? Pochi, stand by!

U-Um, isn't it a lovely day today? Does your tummy hurt?

Hey, Pochi?

Hey, Pochi? Here we go

Here we go

What happened? Here we go

Take a deep breath

I pray to God that all will go well

What am I doing? I pray to God that all will go well

I pray to God that all will go well

What's wrong with Sis? I haven't expressed half of these feelings in my heart

It doesn't work without Pochi? I haven't expressed half of these feelings in my heart

In this situation, I can only count on... I haven't expressed half of these feelings in my heart

That's it! I haven't expressed half of these feelings in my heart

That's it! The more important something is, the more I tend to screw up

Anna! Please! The more important something is, the more I tend to screw up

For Sis! The more important something is, the more I tend to screw up

For Izumi? The more important something is, the more I tend to screw up

Yes! I'll do anything! The more important something is, the more I tend to screw up

Yes! I'll do anything!

Is that true?

Yes. There's no mistake about it.

Yoshitaka...

I see.

I'll tell Izumi and everyone else.

Don't worry.

Whatever might happen to him has nothing to do with us.

...as a rainbow of dreams rises

You're not being fair.

Weren't you the one who left your home first?!

Weren't you the one who left your home first?! Tomorrow will be clear skies

Tomorrow will be clear skies

But isn't it only natural that I would leave his house? Tomorrow will be clear skies

But isn't it only natural that I would leave his house?

But...

Izumi!

What is it, Anna?

Why are you running away, Izumi?

Wait!

No!

Izumi!

Stop it!

Let me go, Anna!

They'll see everything if I let you go!

No!

Stop it, Anna!

I told you to stop!

Pochi.

You're so awful, Izumi!

Pochi. You're so awful, Izumi!

H-Hey!

Pochi, work hard next time.

What's wrong, Big Sis Mitsuki?

Pochi looks down.

Then we'll be leaving now.

Bye-bye, Big Sis Izumi.

Thanks for coming today, Karin.

I'm exhausted...

Why am I doing this?

Promise, Big Sis Mitsuki.

Take care of Pochi.

I'm sure he'll be fine in no time.

You can count on me.

Hey, Izumi.

You had another brilliant performance today.

That was thanks to Mitsuki not me.

Er, what's wrong, Izumi?

You seem to be in low spirits.

This is how I always am.

You must be tired.

That's true.

You've been working too hard.

This is when you should make light conversation to relax.

That sounds like a good idea.

That's right. Do you know what happened to Yoshitaka?

Oh, I sure do.

I just heard that Yoshitaka's bankrupt.

Huh? Then what about his mansion?

Oh, it's been put up for sale.

And Yoshitaka is missing right now...

Shoot!

What?!

Izumi, weren't you pretty shocked just now?

0-Of course not.

I no longer care what happens to Yoshitaka...

Izumi, are you thirsty?

I'll go get something to drink.

He was arrogant enough to fire the people managing his inheritance,

so he didn't notice when his stocks and investments all dropped in value.

That led to huge losses.

Well, Yoshitaka never understood how you're supposed to use money.

In the end, he couldn't even hold onto his own inheritance.

Izumi, could you possibly be worried about...

Of course not.

Why would I...

Pochi, what's wrong?

Do you feel sick?

Pochi...

Mitsuki.

What are you doing here?

Yoshitaka did this to himself.

He could have lived in that wonderful mansion without any inconveniences,

but he had to be a pervert who did twisted things

to the point where nobody's going to worry about him now.

It just means that he was all alone to begin with.

Pochi!

Let go of Mitsuki!

What's wrong?

Sis!

I-lzumi! Pochi...!

Mitsuki!

What are you doing, Pochi?!

I won't forgive you if you hurt Mitsuki!

Come on!

Let her go, Pochi!

Anna, I'll be fine.

Pochi, where are you taking us?

This direction is...

Don't tell me...

Pochi...

You wanted to come back here?

Pochi!

Wait!

Mitsuki!

Wh-What...?

Who are you people?

My, it's rare to see a hippopotamus around here.

He's not a hippo.

Pochi's an alligator.

What are you talking about?

Who is this person?

She's Takami Sugita.

The sole daughter of the Sugita family.

My, why if it isn't the Nakabayashi poor boy.

It's Seiichiro Nakabayashi!

Our family and the Sugita family are rivals.

There used to be really bad blood between us.

But why are you here...

This place will soon belong to me.

And who might you be?

I'm Izumi Sawatari.

We were working as maids here a short while back.

My, maids, you say?

I see. Excuse me then.

Or I suppose you should excuse yourselves.

I haven't spoken to commoners in quite some time.

This land is being sold cheap right now.

I shall destroy all of the offending structures

and build a rest house for my personal use.

This mansion's on sale...?

Yoshitaka... He actually agreed to this?!

He won't have anywhere to go if he loses this place...

A bankrupt evictee has no say in the matter.

Furthermore,

I have never seen anything

as foolish as a maid addressing her master with such lack of respect.

Yoshitaka...

Yoshitaka would never give up so easily!

Not when he's so stubborn and quick to hold a grudge over the slightest thing!

Didn't he do this to himself?

Besides, you talk as though this doesn't concern you,

yet you appear to be the one who's attached to this mansion.

Me...?

Incidentally, who might the midget over there be?

Who are you calling a midget?!

She's my little sister, Mitsuki!

Your little sister, is it?

I see how it is.

Very well.

How about this?

Why don't we hold a contest between you and me?

Contest?

If you defeat me, I shall give you this mansion!

That's impossible!

Are you toying with us?!

I'm serious.

I would prefer that you don't insult me.

But you won't benefit from doing this at all!

Be careful, Izumi.

It's just as you say.

If I win and you lose...

If that happens...

I'll be taking her!

Wh-What are you talking about?!

I could never accept that contest!

Why don't you think more carefully before responding?

I shall hear your answer in one week at this spot.

I've changed my mind!

All hands out!

Construction will be suspended for the time being!

Let us go, Kashiwara!

Then allow me to excuse myself.

Izumi, will you accept the contest?

Of course not.

Why would I...

You shouldn't listen to her, Izumi...

Izumi?

Yoshitaka...

Where and what are you doing at a time like this?

Yoshitaka!

To Be Continued

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've been a real sleazeball, haven't 1?

What's wrong, Yoshitaka?

Why are you saying this?

What are you going to do after leaving that mansion?

Don't worry about me.

You're free now, so live as you please.

I was always free!

I never let you have your way!

I see.

But let me say one last thing...

Sorry about all the terrible things I've done.

Why are you saying this now, Yoshitaka?
