Trust me, my way

I received your report.

A fascinating read.

Yes, continue your investigation.

I've hit the jackpot.

That Mitsuki girl, despite being a midget,

was no ordinary midget.

I'm okay with it, Sis.

With what?

Give Takami's contest a shot.

Are you saying that because it sounds fun?

Yup.

No!

You're involved here, you know?

I won't listen to anyone that treats you like some kind of prize.

That's why I'm saying this.

It'll be fine.

I'm sure everything will work out.

That's what you said when we first came to Yoshitaka's house.

Look where that got us.

Really? It was a lot of fun.

You think that anything's fine if it's fun, don't you?

That's right.

So why do I have to take Yoshitaka's house back?

I have nothing to do with him anymore.

Besides, this is when I should do nothing before I dig myself any deeper.

Nothing good ever happened at that house.

And I'm sounding pretty negative right now.

Izumi!

A-Anna!

A-Anna?!

You already finished washing yourself?

Don't be like that.

It's been so long since we've washed each other.

Wait, Anna... Didn't you recover a little fast?

Because I'm not the type to fret over the small things in life.

I envy that slick personality of yours.

Mitsuki, I'm letting you handle this.

Give her a week's worth of washing.

Okay.

Ah, Izumi!

Geez...

She was in tears this afternoon.

You're not being fair.

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

It's not fair. How could you leave me behind?

I didn't have a choice.

I know that I can't do anything by myself.

That I can't change anything.

That's how it's always been.

But I wanted to stop running away and giving up.

That's why I ran away from home!

I no longer know what I should do.

What should I do?

Tell me, gods!

YOSHITAKA FIEND

I was so focused that I stayed in the bath too long...

Izumi!

Sis! It's terrible!

What is it, Mitsuki? And Anna?

Yoshitaka is...!

Episode 12 He Is My Master!!

Yoshitaka!

Yo. If it isn't Izumi.

Yoshitaka...

You look like you're fine...

Yeah, I'm pretty surprised myself.

I have no idea what I was doing or where...

When I came to, I was lying in this place.

Man, I look pretty lame right now.

What's wrong with you?!

How could you give up that house?!

Takami's been after my house for a while and pulled some strings.

I was too stupid to notice.

That's all.

That's all?

You're going to give up just like that?

Isn't it your house?

Leave.

I'm worried...

Didn't you quit being my maid?

Why are you going back to someone you already abandoned once?

Just leave me alone and scram!

Yoshitaka...

What's wrong?

Did you hit your head on something?

Or did you eat something off the ground?

I can't stand myself anymore.

I was selfish and did things to make people hate me.

My only contact with people was made by exploiting their weaknesses.

I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't help myself!

It's only natural that someone like me would be abandoned.

I wouldn't be able to complain if I were left to die in a ditch all alone.

Sorry, Izumi.

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

I appreciate you sticking with me as long as you did.

It was fun.

So just leave me alone now!

Shut up!

What do you mean, you couldn't help yourself?! Aren't you Yoshitaka?!

I didn't think you'd be this quick to give up!

I thought you were an annoyingly persistent guy

who would hold a grudge forever over the slightest things!

Why are you trying to act all chivalrous when you shouldn't be?!

That house has many things that are important to you, right?!

You should risk your life to take it back!

You won't be worth anything after you've lost that house!

Don't forget that, you sick and perverted freak!

I see. Sorry.

As long as you understand.

Huh?!

I was challenged to a contest by Takami.

With Mitsuki and that mansion on the line.

This wasn't what I had planned, but I'm going to accept that contest.

Mitsuki, sorry.

But I absolutely won't lose!

Uh-huh. Sure.

I'll be so happy if we can all live in that mansion again.

No, Anna.

I'm not participating in this contest because I want to return to that house.

I decided that I would stop running away.

Are you prepared, Izumi?

Oh? Yoshitaka is with you. He looks better than I expected.

That's none of your business!

I accept your challenge!

But I won't let anyone have Mitsuki!

My, how brave of you.

But you don't seem to be aware of her true worth.

I had my personal research institution do a thorough investigation into her.

Their conclusion was that Mitsuki Sawatari's value

would be enough to buy this mansion

with plenty to spare.

That much...?

That's why you want Mitsuki?!

Don't treat people like objects!

Haven't you noticed?

You're only able to argue with me on equal footing because of that girl.

Honestly, what an unbecoming sight.

It's okay, Sis.

Mitsuki...

Okay! I have an idea.

What is it?

Allow me, the concerned party, to devise the contest.

Oh, my.

Very well then.

Feel free to come up with anything.

After all, with looks, brains, athletic ability, and perfect manners,

I have been called a walking colored carp.

So what will the contest be?

Let's see...

What is this?

Junk that was taken from the mansion.

There was so much that I intended to bury all of it.

Hold it right there!

Those are my secret safes!

How could you do that?!

Then let's do this!

Find the most valuable item in these safes.

What's that?

Could that be considered a contest?

Yeah! That's not funny!

Are you even considering my privacy?!

I accept.

Though I have no interest in the possessions of a perverted boy.

You just agreed to the contest to spite me!

Nothing of the sort.

Then we'll ask Seiichiro to be the judge.

Why me?!

Oh, Seiichiro was here.

Got a problem with that?!

You're no longer Yoshitaka's maids.

Isn't that enough, Izumi?

There's no reason to be so concerned about this house.

Don't worry, Seiichiro.

Even if I win this contest, I'll return to your place.

Oh, in that case...

Then we're set to start the contest.

But Mitsuki, isn't this purely up to chance?

That gives you an even chance of winning.

But you should know more about Yoshitaka than Takami,

so you might have an advantage.

The rest is up to you, Sis.

But Yoshitaka was hiding all of this stuff, right?

What if something pops out that isn't fit for human eyes?

What's that?

It doesn't appear to be smoke...

Takami didn't notice...?

What is this?

I really want to know...

Considering that Yoshitaka's a twisted and simple idiot,

I would assume that his most precious belonging would be kept in the biggest safe.

Shut up! Don't make false accusations!

Witness my FBl-level profiling ability

and luck so strong that I could find a diamond in a desert!

Come on. Open it up.

Why me...

We won't get anywhere if you don't open it.

Damn it...

Er, huh?

What is it?

This isn't my safe.

What is wrong with that hippo?

Pochi's an alligator.

Move!

What is the meaning of this?

That's the save data for Pochi's favorite bishojo games.

Which means...

This safe is Pochi's.

A-A mere alligator...

Pochi looks really happy.

I haven't seen him so happy in a while.

I'm hoping that I'm wrong,

but is this the reason Pochi wanted to come back to this house?

Of course not.

Now it's Sis's turn.

You seem to have made a dull choice.

Did you grow sick of the process and choose one at random?

This was a conscious pick.

Mitsuki and the mansion are at stake.

Will it be okay, lzumi?

Why doesn't anybody else notice?

Hold on, Izumi! Th-That safe...

Anything but that!

It's all over if that gets seen...

Then let's open it up!

Man, why me...

Don't you know when to give up? Open it up already!

You better not pull out anything that needs to be censored.

Anything that's considered important by this boy must be worthless.

D-Don't tell me that it really is something unfit for human eyes...

I-It's possible...

Huh? Did Yoshitaka make this by himself?

A pristine white wedding dress...

So Yoshitaka had enough imagination to make something so lyrical.

That's an interesting twist.

Sheesh, there's no need to be embarrassed about it.

So you were capable of making something normal and beautiful.

My image as a perverted fiend is...

This isn't much of a dress.

Hey, hey. Put it on, Sis.

Huh?! Why?! Why me?!

Come on. Come on.

You look wonderful, Izumi.

It's beautiful.

It's a perfect fit.

Like the fabric is clinging to my skin...

Don't tell me?!

That's right...

In case you ever changed your mind.

What?!

So it was made for Sis.

Yes, while plain at first glance,

this dress avoids eclipsing Izumi while bringing out her full potential.

The perfect fit despite this being her first time wearing it,

which means his visualizations were flawless!

I know. I can understand!

Only I, with the same idiosyncrasies as him, can understand the true value of this dress!

Damn it...

Izumi wins!

How did I lose?!

This contest is invalid!

It hurts me, too.

But this is the fair verdict.

I regret nothing about my decision!

Then the deed to this mansion...

Here, Izumi.

Sis!

Mitsuki!

I won't allow anyone to take anything from me!

I won't let you!

Give me a hand!

Stop! That's dangerous!

Wait!

Geez...

Sis!

Mitsuki...

Sorry, Yoshitaka!

Wait!

Izumi.

Wait!

Y-You look wonderful, Izumi...

This isn't the time for that!

Let us see if you can catch up to Kashiwara, known for being fleet of foot!

Izumi! Over here!

Anna!

Thanks, Anna.

There's no need to thank me...

After you yelled at me,

I decided that I need to work a little harder and not run away.

Huh? What did I say?

It defies logic for you to catch up to me on a hippopotamus!

Pochi's an alligator.

I-1 cannot...

allow myself to lose here!

No!

She's gone?

Over here!

Sis...

Unbelievable...

Mitsuki!

Sis!

You're always doing crazy things!

You need to learn your lesson!

Thanks, Sis.

Izumi! Let me join in the bonding!

A-Anna!

I admit that I have lost, Izumi.

Listen to yourself, after the mess you made.

You sound awfully haughty for someone who doesn't know the value of her own little sister.

You would have been an unpopular internet idol without your sister's talent as a producer.

I-1 wasn't really trying...

Mitsuki turned me into an idol before I even noticed...

Why do you know so much about me?

You seem to be familiar with the matter.

That's because Takami was your rival.

Rival?

Yep. A rival Internet idol.

We stole the stage from Takami's recital for that concert on the southern island.

I completely forgot about that though.

Hey, don't be so indiscreet.

You're lucky that you didn't get your hands on Mitsuki.

It isn't that easy to be Mitsuki's older sister.

I'm ready to take that step at any time!

Hey!

Why are we wearing these outfits again?!

Honestly!

But there weren't any other clothes to wear.

Don't tell me he just made them...

Isn't it great that you have your mansion back, Yoshitaka?

It was all thanks to Izumi.

You should thank her.

Yeah, Anna's absolutely right.

This house, Izumi... belongs to you.

Wh-Where did that come from?

Your hard work brought this house back.

So starting today, you're the master of this house.

What are you babbling about?

Your mom and dad left this house to you.

You should take better care of it.

I've been thinking.

It's important to search for a place that fits you,

but it might be more important to try working hard in one place.

In that case, this house is perfect for you.

In the end, I didn't do the hard work.

You did.

Wh-What's wrong with you? You're creeping me out.

Nothing's wrong.

This is how I honestly feel.

Now look here.

I'm trying to end this discussion, so stop dragging it on.

Aren't you Yoshitaka?

The stupid and greedy perv who was my master, right?

What did you call me?

Stupid and greedy perv.

After that.

Stupid and greedy perv who was my master.

Yeah, say that one more time.

Stop making me repeat myself!

Even if he's stupid, an otaku, and hopelessly despicable,

he is my master!

Could you prove it here?

Ah, here's a pen and stamp.

Yeah, thanks.

Huh?

Finally...

You've finally recognized me as your master, Izumi!

Wh-What's wrong, Yoshitaka?

What do you mean? What's going on?

I received permission from your mother this time.

So there won't be any legal loopholes for you to escape through!

Mitsuki?

Well done. Master wins this contest.

Mi-Mitsuki?

What's going on?

What contest are you talking about?

It was a month ago.

When you and I and Pochi left this house.

Let's have a contest, Yoshitaka.

A contest?

Yes.

We're going to leave this house.

So you have to take us back.

That's all. Isn't it simple?

Take you back...

What am I supposed to do?

Which means...

I'm allowed to use any means possible?

Of course.

It wouldn't be any fun otherwise.

Well? Are you up for it?

Of course!

That's how Yoshitaka should be.

Like that.

Wh-What the hell?!

So this was all a sham?!

Fool... You're such a fool, Izumi.

I was prepared to sacrifice everything for this moment!

I would never cooperate with this person.

Th-Then you being taken to the hospital and going bankrupt...

That was all true?!

Yep.

I had to suffer quite a bit.

But I was willing to pay any sacrifice

to take back my middle school maids, a prize worth more than espers!

That's insane...

But...

But if I hadn't been worried about you...

But you came, didn't you?

Which means...

I win!

That's...

That's just...

Ah! A 10,000,000 yen vase!

Wh-What the hell?!

How? Wh-What the hell?!

How could you do this, Yoshitaka?

If you're serious about obtaining something, you'll use anything you can!

Why don't you admit defeat already?

Equivalent exchange, huh...

It hurts me to admit this,

but what you feel for Izumi is undeniably love.

Huh?!

I was unable to stop Izumi...

But Yoshitaka,

it doesn't matter how much love you have for her,

it can't be called true love when you don't consider her feelings!

Fine by me.

Why would I want to build a happy household?

I understand now.

After sleeping in cardboard boxes, shivering in the cold, and sipping away at muddy water,

I realized that my soul could never know peace!

Master's so funny.

Wh-Who would you build a household with?!

Damn it! This is no good!

I can't let this freak have Izumi!

Your love isn't beautiful!

I don't need any of that shallow love!

All I need is a contract and her debt!

He's just babbling on and on.

It's actually refreshing to see a criminal fiend with no shame at all.

L-Like hell that's going to happen!

That's right, Izumi!

There's no need to be scared of debt!

Dad!

I came up with a groundbreaking idea so you don't have to worry!

That would be...

To slip away in the night!

In the middle of the day?!

I should have done this in the beginning!

ow!

Mom!

Mizuho, wh-why...

You shouldn't confuse the matter, dear.

Are you maids at Yoshitaka's house again?

Sorry, Karin.

It's okay.

You look like you're really enjoying yourself at Yoshitaka's house.

R-Really?

Everything's back the way it was, Sis.

What were all my efforts for?

It's ridiculous to consider putting my bride in a long dress!

I must have lost my senses for a moment! That must be it!

It has to be!

The sweeter they look

The less chance they're fragile or weak

Girls can be pretty tough

Sis!

What is it, everybody?

What are you doing, Izumi?

What did you plant, Sis?

It might be a good idea to bargain sometimes!

I don't know...

It's just a seed that the wind carried into our room.

Tears are like a salty essence

But it probably won't be anything impressive.

If you're planting something...

Some mysteries can never be seen

Does that mean you intend to stay here forev-

If you stick to the rules

Lying open deep in our pockets

It feels really good.

Make merry, make pretty, charge yourself up

Be optimistic as we create a bright future

This is a secret that you probably already know?

What is this?!

I-It wasn't me!

How did this...

Your dream came true!

The truth is

Love and girls are what will change this world

You look wonderful, Izumi!

I'm increasing your debt!

Yeah...

This is a dream. It must be a dream!

Save me, gods!

The End

Izumi's debt for the day The End

Hey, everybody.

What did you think?

Did you enjoy my exploits?

It's finally over...

This has been one crazy ordeal.

My shoulders are all stiff.

Good work, Sis.

Okay, Mitsuki.

We're going to return to being normal girls now.

Don't be that way.

Let's continue to have fun living here.

Huh?

It'll be fine.

That's right, Izumi.

We can build our love while nobody's watching.

Hold on.

That won't be any different from what I've endured!

You're such a fool, Izumi.

I'll be enjoying myself while the cameras aren't rolling...

Of course, my hidden cameras will be working full time!

Well, viewers?

Are you jealous?

Yep, you're probably jealous of me.

You're incredibly rude...

Okay then.

Then I won't hold myself back either.

Ah! Please don't hold yourself back towards me either!

What are you?!

I foresee many more interesting happenings.

Can't wait.

Thank you for watching this through to the end. - From the Staff
