Original subtitles

This must be my punishment.

For being overconfident, thinking that I had become a handsome-guy magnet and all...

From today, I'm a woman with no home, no money, and no man.

Shall I go to an internet cafe?

TWO WEEKS AGO

There's still next time, let's aim for one million yen!

I'm quitting!

The next target is already decided.

- Who is it? - This guy.

He's one handsome guy.

Okura-sensei?

Do you really live here?

Yes.

I thought no one lived here.

I heard it's abandoned and haunted.

There was a murder here a long time ago, right?

Let us confirm it.

Okay.

A teacher, huh? Sounds great.

I won't do it anymore.

What's the plot?

Misuzu meets a boy on the street and takes care of him.

She meets his homeroom teacher and falls in love with him.

Hello~

Parent and teacher, which means?

Forbidden love.

That sounds nice!

I can't do it, okay?

Do you hear me?

- Please make the NAME accordingly. - Got it.

Am I invisible or something?

What is this sound?

I think it's a kid's voice.

More like kids'.

Huh?

Wow!

- So cute! - Look how tiny he is!

What's happening here?

Ren, I told you not to let anyone into the house.

Who the heck are you?!

Oh, no!

Get out of here! Get out of here!

The bowl! Put it down!

Put down the bowl!

Hey! Take off your shoes!

Take them off!

Are you okay?

Take off your shoes.

He doesn't have to get so worked up over children.

How can you be so calm? You have to stop this!

Karibe-kun won't go easy on them just because they're kids.

But why me?

Kogo-san, aren't you a former rugby player?

My aging shoulders won't allow me! Hurry up and do something!

My bowl!

Karibe-san!

You're dealing with children, so you need to be more tolerant...

Get out of here!

Go! Go!

Don't ever come back!

Ren! Ren!

Where's Ren, Kogo-san?

I didn't see him.

What are you doing?

Huh?

What?

SUBTITLES BY @EVEYCHOOEY.

It's really not my day today.

What should we do?

Hey, we got a situation here!

They're going to demolish this apartment.

Why?

They said that termites may cause this building to collapse.

What should we do?

We have to move out as soon as possible.

What~?

This can't be real.

What should I do?

Moving costs a lot of money, doesn't it?

Just paying the rent was enough of a challenge...

And now the moving expenses....

How's your job search going?

I've only made it to the interview stage every time.

It's not going well, is it?

- Cheers! - Cheers!

How nice~

Aiko-san!

This is our trial dish, please have some if you'd like.

What? Are you sure?

Yes.

This is Breton style lobster jelly.

I'm not sure what it is, but thank you.

I haven't had a decent meal like this in two days.

Please enjoy.

I've decided to become a chef.

Didn't you want to be the best in Japan with your band?

I've just come to the realization that we can never compete with King Gnu.

Dreams are meaningless if they don't come true.

I see.

My dream now is...

to get three stars.

I hope it comes true.

Thanks.

You're not drinking today.

She said she is now penniless, jobless, and homeless.

What about that job you mentioned?

I was tricked by that sadistic Onigawara.

Onigawara? It's your client, right?

If only I had that one million...

That stingy Onigawara...

Why don't you go to your ex's place for the time being?

All men think that their ex-girlfriends will always love them,

so why not take advantage of that?

If I were a romance expert like you, I might be able to do that.

Aiko-san is a bad-guy magnet, you know.

Ah, I see~

I will use it as a reference in my next life.

Aiko-san, why don't you come to my place?

What?

You don't have anywhere to go, do you?

- I can't! - It's totally fine.

I appreciate your kindness, though.

It's hard to explain...

So expensive!

Rie is raising a child.

Asuka is a newlywed.

Kato-chan is living with her bf.

Big sis...

I can't tell her.

I can't even find a temporary place to stay.

SCREENING RESULT : DID NOT PASS.

I have no job...

And no money...

Let's survive.

I have to.

What is it?

Dinner is ready.

I'm in the middle of work.

Then... I will eat first.

Also...

Our teacher asked us to give this to the people at home.

Itadakimasu.

Damn it.

PARENT-TEACHER-STUDENT MEETING NOTICE.

What do you want?!

I'd like to discuss something with you.

About work.

YOU'RE A BAD-GUY MAGNET.

This is something I said, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

After I helped you with your work like this,

I don't think it's right that I'm getting zero compensation for this.

The agreement is that you'll be paid only if you complete the whole mission.

The previous one, yes.

Can we change the contract this time?

Didn't you say you quit?

Some... unavoidable circumstances happened, so...

You speak with old-fashioned Japanese sometimes, don't you?

I spent a lot of time with my grandma, so I speak like her sometimes.

It's good that you preserve the Japanese language.

I see you can give compliments too.

I was just stating a fact!

So, what do you want to change in the contract?

I want to be paid per task.

If I meet someone successfully, I'll get paid.

If I successfully ask someone out, I'll get paid.

Something like that.

I also have a life of my own.

But of course!

I'm not asking for one million yen per task.

Let's rewrite the contract.

- Are you sure? - It's not a big deal anyway.

I thought you were a stingy Onigawara.

What did you say?

Nothing.

Okay, so this is the first mission.

Isn't this Ren-kun's parent-teacher-student meeting?

It's the perfect opportunity for you to get closer to his homeroom teacher.

But...

As a guardian, you're the one who should attend this.

I won't go out if it's not necessary.

It's definitely necessary for you to go!

Don't you need money?

I will go then.

Ren-kun! Sorry to keep you waiting!

Um...

Aren't you super nervous about this meeting?

Yes.

Right? I used to get really nervous too, you know...

Oops.

Damn you, Kogo...

Let's go with something like this this time.

I'm not sure if I can pull off this kind of outfit. Not to mention my age...

Aiko-san...

Do you think with how you look right now, you can win the heart of a younger, handsome teacher?

Well...

In the previous mission,

things went well because you were dressed up as a Marunouchi OL under my guidance.

That's right.

Geez! Are you really up for this?

If you keep showing little enthusiasm like this,

this mission is sure to fail!

I can't let that happen... my life is on the line here.

Well then,

show me that you've got the spirit to at least go for it!

I'll transform into that gyaru* girl! (*A Japanese fashion subculture)

But why do I have to be a gyaru?

This is our target's SNS.

He doesn't look like a guy who likes gyaru girls.

He loves his hometown and his companions, and his favorite town is Nakameguro.

He must be a former delinquent in his hometown.

You think so?

If there's one type that ex-delinquents like, it's gyaru.

That's nothing but an assumption.

There's no mistake in my judgment.

But I'm not sure if it's an appropriate outfit for the school meeting.

It'll be all right. This is the age of diversity.

It's not all right at all!

I think they're looking at you because you're pretty.

I can just see the girls crying over you in the future.

Oh look, aren't you the handsome transfer student?

Hello~

Hello!

The meeting is on this floor, right?

Yes.

We still have time, don't we?

I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

I'm going to look around.

It's not like I can get into an elementary school every day.

So I'm searching for some inspiration for my manga.

Inspiration?

She's like Karibe-san..

Is she your uncle's wife?

No.

Then, who is she?

Karibe Ren-san!

Yes!

Please come in.

I think I heard him calling "Karibe"...

Or maybe not.

Karibe-san is a very busy person, isn't he?

I'm sorry. He can't seem to get away from work at the moment.

Are you even able to communicate with him at home?

Yes, I am.

I see.

He is kind and passionate about teaching.

I heard Mao-san and the others went to visit your house the other day.

Ah, yes, they did.

I'm glad you've made friends already.

He smiles like a little boy.

Don't miss your chance and score a try*! (*A way of scoring points in rugby)

Aiko-san!

Aiko-san, take a look at this!

Goodbye, my love~♬

THE SPRING WAS TOO LONG.

(Refers to a relationship that lasts too long with no marriage in sight)

He's singing off-pitch.

That's not the point!

If things aren't going well with his long-time girlfriend,

that means now is the perfect time for you!

You also have a lovely sister around.

So you won't be lonely.

Yes!

Lo-lovely?

PIT-A-PATTING.

Try to learn at your own pace in our PE class too.

Yes.

Oops! I couldn't help fantasizing about us.

Kuon-san, may I have a word with you?

Sure!

Ren-kun, can you wait in the hallway for a moment?

Yes.

See you tomorrow.

Yes. Goodbye!

Goodbye.

You see, no matter how many times I called Karibe-san, he wouldn't pick up...

I'm sorry on his behalf...

Also, when the students visited his house,

they said that he was so scary and looked like an ogre, so it made me worry...

Ogre.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude.

Oh, no, I think that's an accurate description.

Is he that scary?

It's not that he's scary,

he's just unsociable.

I see...

But he and Ren-kun seem to be getting along surprisingly well.

Is that so?

Maybe because they can relate to each other as men.

Glad to hear it.

I just wanted to confirm this.

I'm sorry!

I act too casually.

You're kind of easy to talk to, so I can't help it.

This is only our second meeting.

But I feel like I've known you forever.

I feel the same way.

You do?

So, um...

Do you like yakitori?

I love it.

At first, I didn't take this younger, handsome teacher seriously.

But I couldn't help feeling that pit-a-pat in my heart.

It's so easy to get your heart racing.

It's not like that!

I think it's because Okura-sensei and I are a good match.

I just can't believe such a cute younger guy...

asked me out like that.

Could it be that...

I've graduated from being a bad-guy magnet...

to becoming a handsome-guy magnet!

Go on.

Okay.

So, we went to a yakitori restaurant.

So good!

She's a classmate of yours from college, so you've been together for a long time, right?

Lately, even when we see each other, all we do is fight.

Here's your lemon sour cocktail.

Thank you~

Why do you always end up fighting?

That's because I didn't know what made her so upset every time.

So you asked her why she was mad?

Yes.

"This is exactly why!"

That's her answer.

How do you know that?

That's the most annoying thing you can say to a woman.

Oh, I see.

I wonder what I did wrong.

First of all, you just have to accept everything she says.

You don't need to understand.

Because she just wants you to listen to her.

I see.

Also, make plans for the future.

Because women are always insecure.

Wow, that's deep.

I'm envious of you, though.

You grew weary of each other.

Isn't that a sign of a long-lasting relationship?

Wonderful!

Hang on.

Kuon-san, are you drunk?

Not at all!

I want to do it, too!

Celebrating the first anniversary of our relationship.

Or even the anniversary of our first kiss.

Did your relationships really never last that long?

My longest one...

is one year!

One year...

I'm a hopeless mess.

No, you're not.

It's just that the men you've met so far were all bad.

You are mature and dependable, but also cute.

I feel like, if you were my partner,

I'd want us to last as long as possible.

I've definitely left a good impression on him, right?

Who knows,

Okura-sensei might end up being my life partner.

But he has a girlfriend~

What are you doing?

How is it making your heart go pit-a-pat?

It's not at all!

It's different from what you said.

Are you trying to recreate the head-patting scene?

Head what? Even the name is embarassing.

Show me your head.

I'll recreat the scene.

No, I'm good.

Hurry up, please.

Come on. Come on.

Here I go.

Does it make your heart race?

If someone I like do this to me, yes it will.

But if it's done by some random person, I'll be like, "What the heck?"

In some cases, it's considered sexual harassment, so please be careful.

Huh?

Please try patting my head again.

Sexual harassment!

It can go like that.

It hurts.

Your reward.

Thank you!

Coins?

That's all the cash I have right now.

Tsk.

Did you just click your tongue?

You must be hearing things.

Found some 500 yen coins.

The next task is to steal him.

Sorry?

Make them break up.

You mean Okura-sensei and his girlfriend?

Yes.

I refuse.

Regardless of whether it can be done or not,

it's just wrong for a person to destroy other people's relationship.

FROM OKURA-SENSEI.

I had a good time today.

Can we meet again sometime?

I have something to tell you.

Something to tell me?

Judging from how things are going so far...

I already broke up with my girlfriend.

So...

will you go out with me?

That's all I can think of.

If he broke up with his girlfriend on his own,

then I don't need to hold back.

And as long as I don't tell Karibe-san and Kogo-san about it,

then my mission of stealing his heart will be successful.

I'll also get paid. Let's kill two birds with one stone!

What's with your expression? It creeps me out.

I'll accept that boyfriend-stealing mission.

I wonder if Aiko-san has found a place to stay.

Are you worried?

She's our regular, so...

Could it be that you were serious?

About what?

Didn't you tell Aiko-san...

to come to your place?

Did I?

You silly thing~

Here you go.

Itadakimasu.

Um...

What is it?

Among the pictures that Dad kept,

there's a picture of a high school girl.

Who is that?

I don't remember.

But that's the only picture of a girl I found.

That's just one of many girl pictures Jun had.

I see.

Maybe this time,

I have actually met...

someone who could finally be my life partner!

I'm sorry for calling you out here.

It's fine.

So, um... what is it that you want to tell me?

Actually...

after you gave me those sorts of advice,

I realized something.

I realized who is truly important to me.

That's why...

I decided to get married.

What?

Ma...married?

What to do? I didn't think that far ahead.

I won't hesitate anymore.

But I think...

I'll just go with the current flow...

Shin-chan!

This is Lisa, my girlfriend.

She really wants to thank you.

He told me that you gave him advice...

on behalf of me.

I didn't mean it like that.

Thanks to you, Shin-chan finally proposed to me.

Thank you so much!

We will live happily ever after!

Congratulations!

It's refreshing to see your misunderstanding go that far!

You don't have to laugh at me like that.

I heard you were all excited, saying that you'd become a handsome-guy magnet!

The mission failed. So there's no reward.

Aiko-san, there's still next time.

Well then, goodnight!

I'm quitting. I won't do it anymore.

I won't do it again...

I have to find a proper job.

Ambulance...

- Ambulance... - What are you doing?

Ambulance...

Ambulance!

Ren-kun, are you all right?

Yes.

Shall we call an ambulance?

There's no need, I'll take him to the hospital.

Ren-kun, can you get up?

It's gonna be okay.

I'm sorry...

It's okay to say it hurts, you don't have to endure it.

Walk slowly.

You scared me!

How did it go?

After he got the IV drip, he seemed to be feeling much better.

So it's nothing serious.

Huh?

You always make a big deal out of everything!

WTH?

Cold-blooded Onigawara.

It's really hot today.

Still not enough.

I'm fine...

If you're sick, just say you're sick.

Thank you very much.

Is there anything you want to eat or anything you want?

No.

Don't hold back, either.

Then...

please talk about something to me.

What would you like to talk about?

My dad...

About Jun-senpai?

Yes...

I've always wanted to ask you...

why you fell in love with my dad.

Well...

I wonder why...

Jun-senpai was very popular.

He was someone out of my reach.

Jun!

Whenever I saw him smile,

I wished he would smile at me too.

That's what I'd think to myself.

I guess that didn't really answer your question.

It did. I kind of get it.

Really?

Goodnight.

Is that the girl who confessed to him five times?

Karibe-san?

This can't be real.

A gentle breeze that feels too unreal...

I feel happy...

Let's keep going like this for a little while longer...

When I woke up from my dream, a harsh reality awaited me.

I never thought I'd be forced to move out without finding a place to stay.

This must be my punishment.

For being overconfident, thinking that I had become a handsome-guy magnet and all...

From today, I'm a woman with no home, no money, and no man.

Shall I go to an internet cafe?

Why are you here?

Did Ren-kun get a stomachache again?

He's fine...

Glad to hear that.

There is...

an empty room in the back of my house.

What?

You're so slow-witted!

What am I supposed to guess?

I'm saying...

Yes?

I'll let you stay at my place.

What?

Are you sure?

Until you find a new place to live.

I'm doing this because Ren asked me to let you stay.

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Thank you so much!

You're always overreacting, you know that?

I can carry it myself.

What the heck is this?

- I can carry it. - Leave it to me.

But...

Just leave it to me.

But...

I'm sorry!

It's too low.

Ren-kun!

I'll be in your care from now on.

Are you going to live here?

Yeay!

Thank you. You're the one who asked for it, right?

Asked for what?

Shoot.

What the heck?

I will now read out the rules for living in this house as decided by Karibe-kun.

If you have any objections, please raise your hand and speak up.

Okay!

"One: Karibe Seiichiro's work must take top priority."

- Noted. - Noted.

"Two: No one is to enter Karibe Seiichiro's workroom."

- Noted. - Noted.

"Three: Never touch Karibe Seiichiro's..."

- Excuse me! - Yes?

How many of these are there?

There are 111 points.

Huh? That many?

"Three: Never touch Karibe Seiichiro's manuscript."

- Noted. - Noted.

"Four: Karibe Seiichiro's..."

"111 : Ren-kun will be in charge of taking care of Memory (The rabbit)."

Noted.

That's all.

It's finished!

Then there are no objections, are there?

Ren-kun, don't hold back.

Go ahead, Ren-kun.

"112: The three of us must eat breakfast together."

Agreed.

Okay.

What about Karibe-kun?

Suit yourself.

Then I'll add point 112 to the list.

Are you here to help me?

With these stiff shoulders? Of course not.

Then, what do you want?

Since it's Karibe-kun's decision, I have no choice but to accept it.

But I'm actually against you living here.

The only people Karibe-kun had let into this house...

were me and the person in charge of the housekeeping service.

But then Ren-kun came...

and now even you.

I'm sorry.

I'll be leaving as soon as I find a place to live.

You must never disturb the work of Mangaka Karibe Maria!

I won't.

Mao, why do you have this?

Ah, that?

I found it thrown away in Ren-kun's house.

Ren-kun? That handsome transfer student?

It's old-fashioned and cute, so I took it.

This G-pen is only used by mangakas.

So, Mao, what's this handsome kid's name?

Karibe-Ren...

Karibe?!

Yup.

Does it belong to Karibe Maria-sama...?

I've decided on the next target.

What?

I want to see how a friendship turns into romance.

We have the perfect guy for it, don't we?

What?

So Aiko-san has found a place to stay?

I heard she moved in to her client's house.

The Onigawara's house?

Oni (Ogre)?

It's Nikaido-kun.

What?
