with this feeling that never ends

Kaoru-sama!

Aoi-chan!

Oh, this is no good.

I can't turn this in on time if I slack off.

Huh!

Tea after a bath really seeps down to the bones!

Tina, knock when you enter someone else's room!

You know, Kaoru!

It's not like we're strangers.

D-Don't get too cozy!

The scent of shampoo...

We're neighbors under the same roof.

So, let's be friendly, Kaoru!

G-Get away, damn you!

I-If Aoi-chan saw me like this...

Huh!

I-It's not what you think!

Taeko-chan?

Huh!

Tae-chin?

H-Hello.

Good evening.

Episode 6

Family Tradition

Yes, understood.

Then, Sakura Department Store will have monthly board meetings on those dates.

Oh, no, it was just something on this end.

Yes.

Understood.

Take care of the Yokohama branch's March sales report...

Yes. Then, if you'll excuse me.

I see.

Kaoru-sama's underclassman?

Yeah, her name's Minazuki Taeko-chan.

I'm sorry for barging in suddenly like this.

What brought you here so late at night?

She got fired.

Fired?

Yes, I was fired from my job just now.

Oh, my...

Ah, I'm sorry.

So what was that job you had?

A live-in housekeeper.

Live-in?

Yes, so...

So I...

I don't have a place to live any more!

That is why you are here.

Yes...

I remembered Tina once told me if anything happened she would give me advice.

So that's what it was!

All right, Tae-chin.

I'll give ya any advice ya want!

If it's for a cute underclassman, I'll lend a helping hand, even two!

Um, Senpai...

Please don't massage my breasts.

Sorry, it's just a habit!

You know...

What should I do, Senpai?

It's a problem.

Oh, I've got a great idea!

Tae-chin, you can work here!

You can solve both problems of a job and a place to live that way.

Heh!

Tina, what are you starting now?

Hey, is it all right, Ooya-san?

There are still some empty rooms here.

Tina!

Please, please, please?

Tina-san...

Now that I've heard the details, I'd like to hire Taeko-san myself.

Really?

But it is not me, but Miyabi-san that decides these things.

Kanrinin-san!

I see...

It's all right.

It's all my fault.

Sorry to have troubled you.

Goodbye!

Taeko-chan!

Miyabi-san?

I-I'm sorry!

I understand the situation.

Heh!

Miyabi-san!

Then, by any chance...

Kanrinin-san, you're going to hire Tae-chin?

I was just having a hard time being shorthanded.

However.

There will be a performance evaluation all day tomorrow.

I'll allow her to be housekeeper if she passes.

Is that all right?

Y-Yes!

Thank you so much!

I'll do my best!

Good for you, Tae-chin!

Yes!

No, you can't eat that figure.

Is it a mahou-shoujo?

Ouch.

Miyabi-san, good morning.

How long are you sleeping?

The housekeeper gets up before everyone!

That's a common sense!

I-I'm sorry!

Clothes, clothes...

You were a housekeeper until recently.

So I assume you can cook, right?

Yes, I'm all right.

Huh?

What is it?

Where is the instant broth for the miso soup?

In the Sakuraba household, we do not use chemical additives!

You will make broth naturally!

Eh... Ah... All right.

When breakfast is ready, go wake Kaoru-dono and Tina-san.

Right!

Senpai...

Senpai!

Please get up! It's morning!

Let me sleep in a bit more, Aoi-chan...

Senpai, please wake up!

Senpai!

Just a bit more...

What's wrong?

Kaoru-sama, the scream now...

U-Um...

A-Aoi-chan, t-this is, um...

Man!

Kaoru, you're a total perv!

I-Idiot, that's not it!

T-Taeko-chan fell over and we ended up like this...

Taeko-san.

I-I'm sorry.

Oh, it looks delicious.

Amazing.

You made all of this, Tae-chin?

Yes, I did my best to cook.

Then let us eat now.

That's true.

Time to eat!

Oh, clam miso soup.

Morning has to start with a bowl of miso soup!

Crunch

Crunch.

Um, is something wrong?

Taeko-san.

Did you purge the clams?

What do you mean by "purge"?

I'm sorry.

Don't get so down, Tae-chin.

That's right.

Everyone makes mistakes.

But...

We're rooting for you so cheer up.

Have guts!

Uh.

Come on, Taeko-chan.

Senpai...

You're rooting for me, too?

Senpai, thank you so much.

I'll do my best!

Yeah, that's the spirit!

Right!

All right?

If there is even a speck of dirt left,

you'll do this as many times as needed.

Yes, I'll do my best to clean.

Taeko-san!

How dare you polish so lightly?

Use your hips more! The hips!

R-Right!

Hips.

Hips.

Hips.

Hips.

That's right.

Hips.

Hips.

Hips.

Um- Taeko-san, hold on!

S-Sorry!

S-Sorry!

The vase was a Sakuraba heirloom...

S-Sorry!

Ah!

That's enough.

I've had enough.

Taeko-san.

You are fired.

Eh?!

Fired?!

N-No way. P-Please wait!

Eh, let go!

Please wait!

Taeko-san...

Let go of me!

Ai Yori Aoshi

Please.

Please, Miyabi-san.

I'll do my best.

So please don't fire me!

Miyabi-san!

You should look for some other job.

I want to become a housekeeper.

It's something that I have to do!

This job is not suited for you.

Miyabi-san!

Please, one more chance!

I'll do things properly!

Please.

I'll do my best!

I'll give it everything.

So please!

Taeko-san...

Why do you insist?

Taeko-san.

Ooya-san.

I would like your help in hanging the laundry to dry.

Eh!

But I'm already...

Well, shall we?

Taeko-san, you are a hard worker.

Eh?!

I can tell you're putting a lot of effort into this.

Ooya-san...

I just...

would feel sorry for my mother back home if I gave up so easily.

My mother is a single parent.

My father passed away when I was very young.

And ever since then, my mother raised me all by herself.

I'm home!

Welcome home!

Hey, Mother, look.

My skirt ripped!

Oh, my.

I'll sew it so take it off.

My mother did her best at everything.

She could do anything.

Hey, Mother, I'm hungry!

Just wait a bit more.

Something delicious is coming soon.

I grew up watching a mother like that.

That's why I want to be even a little bit like such a mother, with this job.

So you are this...

I have to do my best.

Because, I'm really clumsy.

So, I have to really give it my all just to be average.

But maybe being a housekeeper is impossible for me.

Taeko-san...

No, that is not the case.

I was the same as you.

I was rather clumsy to begin with.

Whatever I did never went right.

and Miyabi-san always scolded me.

You were scolded?!

But I wanted to be able to do household chores well.

And I gave it everything I had.

So...

So, it'll be all right.

If you have the firm desire to be it, then I am sure you will.

It's all right!

Ooya-san...

Thank you very much!

I'll do my best!

All right!

Well, let's get the rest of the laundry hung up!

Yes, come in.

Kaoru-sama.

Aoi-chan.

Um, how is the report?

It's going well.

It'll be done by dinner.

I see.

I brought some tea.

Please rest for a while.

Kaoru-sama...

Eh!

Taeko-san is an amazing person.

Emm.

I had both my parents

and was raised without any problems.

So I do not know Taeko-san's pain.

So, I feel awkward with Taeko-san.

Aoi-chan.

You're doing your best, too.

But I no longer face hardships.

I could only think about it in my heart before.

But now, I can see your face every day.

I can touch it like this.

I am very fortunate right now.

So...

Kaoru-sama!

Will you forgive me for being so selfish?

Aoi-chan.

Kaoru-sama.

Senpai, excuse me.

Uh, what are you doing?

Uh, nothing really.

I see.

W-What's wrong?

Is something the matter?

Oh, yes.

Have you seen Ooya-san?

Uh, no, h-haven't seen her though.

Why?

I was thinking of cleaning the bathroom,

but I couldn't find the cleanser.

Then ask Miyabi-san.

She's not coming out of her room.

Ah, I see.

That's a problem.

Yes.

Oh, sorry to disturb your report-writing.

I'll go look elsewhere.

A-Aoi-chan!

Warm.

I will go check on Taeko-san.

Yeah.

But a little longer.

Yeah.

Hips.

Hips.

Ah!

Taeko-san!

Time for dinner!

Okay!

She seems to be having a tough time.

Kanrinin-san's pretty tough.

But I want her to pass somehow.

Tina, no matter what's for dinner, let's praise it and say it's good!

Sure, leave it to me.

Kyushu women can bear with it.

We'll work together and make Taeko-chan our housekeeper!

Yeah!

U-Um, well...

I suppose the dinner is ready, right?

Y-Yes.

Taeko-san.

If this is no good, you know what will happen.

Yes.

Wow, what a feast!

Western food is a first for this place.

It looks quite delicious.

All right, Tina?

Yeah, ready for the worst.

Everyone.

Let's eat before it gets cold.

Y-Yes.

Itadakimasu!

Huh?

Wow, everything's totally delicious!

Tae-chin, you're amazing!

Really?

Thank you so much!

It really is delicious.

U-Um...

Taeko-san.

Y-Yes!

Please continue at this level tomorrow.

Heh?!

That means...

Yeah, you passed!

Uh, I...

You did it, Taeko-chan.

Congratulations.

Congratulations!

And welcome, Tae-chin!

I am not that good at western cuisine.

So, you really must teach me later.

Aoi-san...

Thank you so much!

Wait, Taeko-san.

I did not do anything...

Good for you, Taeko-san.

Y-Yes!

Taeko-san

You can do it !
