The fact that the two of us met that day...
I wonder what many miracles...
...happened in the world before it?
Who should I thank for it?
Ah, I'm sure that your future...
...will be suited for me.
There are nights that I can't say as much, and I feel like crying.
Eternity, eternity, even past it, the colors don't fade.
I wait in the wind under the sky.
If I believe, if I believe, your smile...
...will become a flower for me... I'm sure.
So cute!
Brought over from China, the golden snub-nosed monkeys...
... are a rare breed with gold fur on their heads, chests, and limbs.
They will be on display at Genbu Animal Park till tomorrow...
And so, we'll have a photo session for them tomorrow!
What? Tomorrow?
I wondered why you called us on summer break so suddenly.
Attendance is mandatory.
Denied!
Then let's meet up at Genbu Animal Park at 10:00 AM!
You have to come!
Listen to what others say!
Episode 18 Bedsharing
What?
You can't come with us?
I apologize.
There is much I must do...
...including laundry among other things.
Miss Manager has work.
Tae has to supervise roof repairs.
The roof can stay as is for now!
You said that it leaked in the rain, right?
It doesn't have to be today.
The repairman came earlier than planned...
...because it might rain today.
Sorry about doing this when everyone's so busy...
Do not mind that.
Today is the last day you can see the golden monkeys, right?
Please tell me later how they were.
Oh, sure.
Miss Landlord and Tae just don't understand...
Hey, cheer up already.
But still, Suzuki and Sato are late...
Hey, I got mail.
What? What's up now?
Suzuki's at the Exciting Train Festival...
...and Sato's at the Cosplay Idol Thrilling Fashion Show?
Damn them!
They found a way out, after all...
I was so happy that I couldn't sleep last night!
Well, don't be upset.
I'll hang out with you all day.
Come on, let's go see the monkeys.
It was iffy for a while there but I'm glad her mood's improved.
Kaoru! Penguins, penguins!
They've even got little babies...
You really like animals, don't you?
Yup!
What's wrong?
Why are you so sad?
Oh, Uzume, listen...
Nobody understands.
It's true I wanted to see the monkeys...
...but more than that, I wanted to have fun with everyone!
You don't have to be so sad.
You know about how you trip 7 times and trip 8 more times?
You mean trip 7 times and get up 8 times.
Oh, Tsurube-senpai!
Wow, you know a lot.
Humans laugh and cry at the stupidest things.
Yeah, but it's fine as long as the food's good.
Who are you?
It'd be fun if I could talk to animals like that.
That's like you.
The real thing really is tremendously cute!
- Ý'm glad you could see them. - Yup!
Hey, Kaoru.
- One of me with the monkeys. - Okay.
- Then here goes. - Yeah!
Oh, shall I take it?
Oh, please!
Both of you, stand closer.
Sure!
Hey, Kaoru.
Do you think that lady thought we were going out?
- What are you talking about? - Hey, you're blushing!
Jeez...
What is it?
That! What's that?
That?
Oh, it looks like some attraction.
Wanna go?
Yup, yup.
Welcome to Animal Fantasy: Adventure Palace of Love.
You will split into two groups here...
...and proceed through this dangerous, mystic jungle.
And you shall head for the jungle's end.
The treasure of dreams awaits you.
This is the jungle's end?
Chararin!
Congratulations on surviving the mystic jungle!
Y- Yeah...
I am Chararin, a fairy.
Oh, h-hi...
Brave young lady, you must choose your destiny.
Chararin!
Now choose one door from these three.
The costume inside will show your feelings for your partner.
Partner?
That's right!
If you're friends, choose black for an animal suit.
More than friends but not lovers, blue for a uniform.
And the white door is a wedding dress.
The proof you love each other.
If the partner who comes here later chooses the same door...
...we'll give you the treasure of dreams!
Now choose!
Chararin!
It has to be the blue uniform, I think...
But...
I understand! The white door, right?
The dice have been tossed!
- W-Wait... - Chararin!
Help me!
W- What should I do...
I went with the flow and put this on...
But well, it'll be okay.
I wanted to wear it once...
I'm sure Kaoru won't see it, either.
But I might want him to see me...
What should I do if Kaoru happens to come in...
That wouldn't happen...
Because it's me...
I don't think he'd choose this room for me...
We're done.
If Kaoru were to open that door and come in...
That won't happen!
There's no way Kaoru would come in...
But maybe...
But after all, I...
I...
Kaoru...
Kaoru?
Kaoru!
Tina?
No!
Sheesh, Kaoru!
What were you thinking, coming to such a place?
I see...
So that's it...
Since when did you see me in that way?
I've been worrying awhile now for nothing!
Jeez!
That hurts!
Heh.
Jeez, to think I got away from that menace of an ostrich...
Ostrich?
Yeah, this huge one.
I ran in here and got away in time.
Got away?
Then you didn't choose this door out of the three doors?
Three? There were that many?
I was in such a hurry I didn't notice.
But still, I had such a hideous time.
What part of this is fun?
Treasure of Dreams
T- Tina, you know...
Aoi-sama, it looks like rain.
Oh, no.
We have to bring the laundry in!
- Let us hurry, Taeko-san. - Sure!
Oh, I will help, too. Storm and flood warnings for the Kanto region.
Please. Storm and flood warnings for the Kanto region.
We have found a lost child.
Akiko Nakazawa's father...
Akiko Nakazawa's father.
Please report to the management office.
Your dad'll be here soon.
It's starting to rain a bit...
Tina, we should start heading back soon.
Yeah, that's true.
It's all right.
I'll stay until your dad gets here.
Excuse me. - Papa!
Storm Warning
... due to the storm front...
Storm Warning ... the entire Kanto region is experiencing heavy rain.
Thunderstorms may occur...
... and the rain will become heavier through the night.
A summer storm.
And the penguins slipped and fell over!
I see! The poor penguins!
See you later!
Yeah, bye-bye.
Sorry for the trouble.
Tina, we should hurry back, too.
Yeah.
Train is out of service due to landslide.
What? Train is out of service due to landslide.
There was a landslide ahead, and all trains are stopped.
When will they start again?
It might take till tomorrow morning.
Morning?
They're all closed.
There aren't any taxis around...
This is a problem.
If there's a karaoke place somewhere...
I'll look over there.
Wait here.
Oh, Kaoru!
Oh, Tina-san? This is Aoi.
Miss Landlord!
Are you all right?
Are you keeping dry?
Oh, yeah...
We got a little wet, but we're fine.
But more importantly, the trains stopped...
The trains?
Yeah, and right now...
...we're finding a place away from the rain.
Oh, no!
Um, I can ask Miyabi-san to get you...
Oh, we'll be fine!
We'll spend the night at a karaoke joint as a last resort.
Um, spend the night?
Uh...
When I say spend the night...
...I don't mean that way...
That is true...
Suzuki-san and Sato-san are with you, as well.
I understand.
Then please be sure not to catch a cold or something.
Oh, s-sure...
Please give my regards to Kaoru-sama.
Oh, well.
A phone call?
Oh, yeah. From Miss Landlord.
Aoi-chan? Was she worried?
Yeah, but I told her it was all right.
Oh, but did you find a place?
Actually...
I see...
We're in a bind...
Equipped with Karaoke
- Ý found karaoke! - All right! A godsend!
This isn't a karaoke joint...
Seems so.
Though they do have karaoke, you know...
T- That's true, all things considered...
We're just getting shelter from the storm...
Yeah, we're just getting shelter...
Tina...
W- W-W-W-What?
What?
Towel.
Oh, thanks.
H- How about some TV?
O- Oh, that sounds good.
You can't!
I- I'm going to go take a shower.
Oh, sure.
I'm soaked down to my panties!
- Pan... - Aren't you soaked yourself?
Y- Yeah, I'm soaked, too.
Then you wanna join me?
Wha?
You're blushing!
So naive!
...fragile love.
That was nothing...
Yeah, that was great, Kaoru!
Then I'm up next.
Let's see...
But I sure was surprised back there.
What?
Your wedding dress.
It was really pretty.
W- What are you saying now...
But it's true.
Thanks.
I guess the first person to see me in a wedding dress...
...is you, Kaoru.
Oh, I see...
I wonder what kind of person your groom will be.
Have you ever thought about it?
Yeah, I have.
My groom is a lonely boy.
Though he usually doesn't show it much.
And he's a very kind guy.
No matter what stupid things I do...
...he laughs, saying I'm hopeless.
If I can be with such a guy...
Oh, you're pretty detailed.
And your house is a log cabin, of course.
With a lake as a backyard.
Yeah, and I'll live surrounded by lots of kids and animals!
That's something easy to imagine.
Kaoru, you really know a lot about me!
Tina, why do you like animals so much?
Because animals can't talk...
...people have to understand how animals feel.
Of course, people can talk...
...but they don't say how they really feel all that much.
I want to go see the animals that I met on my trip again.
What? Would you be lonely if I wasn't around?
Of course you wouldn't...
I was lonely.
You got me into the photo club my freshman year.
Doing stupid things with the guys...
I thought college was a fun place.
Going to see the world for a bit. P.S. Be back in about a year.
But you suddenly disappeared... Going to see the world for a bit. P.S. Be back in about a year.
...and going to college wasn't as fun.
The fact I can laugh on my way to college now is thanks to you.
So...
Don't disappear suddenly again like you did back then.
H- How can you say such embarrassing stuff?
Are you sure you're not drunk or something?
That's true.
Jeez, now I feel cold again.
I'm taking another shower.
Papa and Mama wouldn't forgive me for doing this...
But if it's with Kaoru...
Kaoru, how about you?
Y- Yeah...
I- I'll go take a shower, too...
Today, Tina's somehow very...
What should I do?
What's the right thing to do?
What am I thinking?
Tina's a friend.
Just a friend.
Tina...
Y- You know...
I don't think this is all too good...
I think of you as a good friend, Tina.
And I...
Jeez, this is like you, Tina.
I fell asleep last night.
Yeah, you did.
It was a pretty strange night.
It was...
Say, Kaoru...
Can I hold your hand till we get to the station?
S- Sure, I don't mind...
All right!
I'm sorry...
What?
N- Nothing at all! Nothing!
Let's hurry back!
I'm sure Miss Landlord's worried!
I- ldiot, my hand hurts!
Mine doesn't hurt at all!

I'll be home. I'll be home.
It's a long, long way from here.
But I can hear you welcome back...
...again.
Hey, Miyabi-oneechan, do you like Big Brother?
Kaoru-dono is the bond itself.
I see...
Next Episode Lap Pillow
You want him to?
That is not so.
