Well then, should we do it at my place?

Okay! I'll bring the takoyaki cooker.

Please do so!

I'll prepare the ingredients on my end.

Won't the cooker be heavy? Will you be fine?

I got it. Leave it to me.

She loves to cook and She loves to eat

Cheers!

It's so good!

Alright, let's start frying then?

Go ahead. - Sure.

Is it warm yet?

You can cook 24 pieces at once.

That's so cool.

Amazing.

Hey, Ms. Yuki.

Did you make the arrangements yourself for the tomatoes and cheese?

Yes. Italian style with mini tomatoes and cheese.

Also, a mentaiko and rice cake too.

Mentaiko is a savory delicacy hailing from Japan, consisting of spicy, marinated pollock roe

I also prepared kimchi.

Kimchi refers to fermented vegetables, and encompasses salt and seasoned vegetables and is mainly served as a side dish with every meal

Ms. Yuki is also the genius behind this takoyaki party too, isn't she?

She's making me want to go to all kinds of parties together.

Honestly!

She also came prepared with some dessert.

So thorough!

That's nice!

Alright, time to add the ingredients.

I'll help.

Me too.

Thanks.

Alright. Here.

Sure. - Here you go.

About time, I guess.

Alright, I'm gonna flip these now.

Go ahead!

Here I go!

Looking good!

I have one more here.

Does anybody want to give it a go?

I want to try it.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Amazing!

You're good at this, Nagumo.

Alright!

It's done!

Yay!

Well then...

Let's dig in!

Looks so good!

So hot!

So good!

That was hot! So hot!

Are you okay? - I'm fine.

I'm relieved.

This is really delicious though!

I guess I'll go for one.

The crunch...

That's right! That's it.

It's so fluffy inside and so good!

Is it tasty?

How is it? The second one is...

It's so good.

Kasuga, there's more here too.

I want to add the rice cake.

You'd love that.

I'd want the mentaiko.

Oh, right. Well then...

How about a mentaiko, some rice cake and cheese?

That would be amazing!

Let's do that next.

I'm excited!

Hey, are you okay?

One bite of takoyaki will make you want to eat it whole.

That was so hot.

But, it was so good.

Alright! Next, shall we cook with anything you'd like to add?

Sure! I'm eating a lot!

Let's eat more!

That's a nice color.

Nice smell of chocolate.

Fruits would be nice too.

Let's leave it in for a while then.

By the way, have you reached out to the real estate agency?

We're going tomorrow to their office and get a consultation.

I see.

Just looking at their website has made us feel at ease already,

and they're very attentive in replying to my e-mails.

Really? I'm glad!

Ms. Yako introduced us to her friend's LGBT-friendly real estate agent.

Is that so?

It's not so easy to find a place that allows same-sex couples.

I see.

Ms. Yako, thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

Don't mention it!

I hope you find a nice house. What time are you meeting tomorrow?

Let's see. It was 12 o'clock, right?

Yes.

It'd be nice if we can get a lot of good advice.

That's right.

I'm excited.

Yes.

It was so much fun and the food was so good!

It's about time I head back.

Thank you for coming over.

Will you be safe on your way to the station?

Oh, but...

Maybe I'll have Nagumo walk me on the way over there?

What?

I'm in the mood for a walk. Will you walk me there?

Fine with me.

Yay!

Nagumo, take care of her for us.

Right, thanks for having me!

Sure.

Take care.

Please let me put takoyaki goods at your place, Kasuga!

Sure. - Thanks.

Sorry for suddenly asking you to walk me home.

There's something I wanted to talk to you about.

Today was so much fun too!

It makes me so happy to have friends like this as an adult.

Same here.

That's true.

You live right in between their rooms.

Once they move out, won't you be lonely?

You're right.

Very.

Of course.

I sometimes feel like the time I spent with the two of them is where I belong,

so I'm a little sad to see that change.

That's a given.

I wonder if this is the only time the four of us can get together like this?

Why?!

Let's still get together even if we're all moving out.

Do you feel like we're all going to separate?

When I'm looking at the two of them,

it seems like they're going further away on their own path.

I feel like they're just going to keep getting further and further away.

This makes me sound selfish, doesn't it?

Even when they're having a hard time finding a place right now.

I truly support them though...

Listen.

People's relationships are like the stars aligning.

What? Stars?

Sometimes it's closer to us, sometimes it's farther; depending on the time of year.

Well, that in itself is something that is out of our control.

However...

I don't think it's a bad thing to try and reach out.

You see, stars...

It may be how it goes as the stars align,

but it is human beings who try to resist it.

I was trying to say something nice but I lost all sense of it now.

Even so, they may be moving out,

just reach out when you want to see them again,

and ask us out for another get together.

Let's hang out.

It'll be okay.

You're right.

Because you'll think you're being selfish, you might hold back.

There are times you'll stop reaching out to them but

you might regret it if you do so.

So you won't regret it, is what I'm saying.

You're right.

I’ll have to do my best too.

So, I won't lose to anyone.

What? Do your best with what?

I'll do my best in finding a new work.

You're in the middle of job hunting!

Then, work hard!

There's nothing I'm particularly working hard for.

You're amazing, Ms. Yako!

What? Really? Where exactly?

This is it.

Yes.

Thank you so much for inquiring with us.

I understand that you two were introduced by a friend.

Yes.

We heard about you from a friend of a friend, to be exact.

Is that so?

When looking for a room, there is a possibility

that the number of properties you can discuss with the management company

or the owner may expand by informing them

of your relationship upon negotiation with them.

Therefore, if you don't mind,

may I ask how the two of you are related?

Of course.

We are dating each other.

Alright, very well.

Thank you for telling us.

Looking for a place as a same-sex couple can be quite tough.

I have personal experiences too.

However, we are a company that has been working with LGBTQ+ people

so that they can search for a room with peace of mind.

If you have any concerns or anxieties, no matter how trivial,

please feel free to consult with us.

Thank you so much.

Excuse me...

Can I raise one question?

Sure, ask away.

I haven't come out to my parents.

I don't want to be a joint guarantor and would like to use a guarantor company.

That's not a problem at all.

And it's not just with same-sex couples.

There are more and more people using guarantor companies these days.

Is that so? - Yes.

Thank you so much.

Also, I have one other question.

Is it actually possible to be rejected by the owner or management company

just because you are a same-sex couple?

It is a sad reality, but such is the case.

Some owners have a prejudice that same-sex couples will break up soon,

and they are sometimes reluctant to accept such couples

because they are worried about whether they will receive stable rent.

But isn't that just...

"But, what about heterosexual couples!" you may ask.

"They might break up too?"

"Isn't that something that happens to any couple?!"

...which is also what I'm thinking too.

Yes, you are right.

There are such management companies and owners,

but there are also those who willingly rent to us after informing them of your relationship with us.

Rest assured that we will assist you in finding your ideal room.

Thank you so much.

Come in! - Here we go.

Please feel free to take a look.

It's bigger than I thought it would be.

You're right.

Here it is.

Coming in.

There are two rooms of the same size.

The floor plan is nice, too.

This owner has a track record of doing business with us,

so I'm sure we can consult with him flexibly.

I see.

It's so bright!

That's right.

This place faces south, so it gets a lot of sun.

Kasuga!

The kitchen is so spacious too!

It is.

Hey, Kasuga.

I can just visualize it from here.

I can see a view of you and me living here.

Like when we're cooking and eating together.

I'm just wondering, but what do you think?

I had the same feeling as you too.

Are we thinking the same?! - Yes.

It's a nice house to paint that image.

I'm sure of it.

Ms. Amagai! We'll take this!

Such a lovely place, isn't it?

Yes!

We're in your care.

Thank you so much.
