Idiot...
What was that for? I was complimenting her...
I just wanted her to find a nice guy to be with.
Yeah, I didn't do or say anything wrong.
Don't let it bother me. I did nothing.
I did nothing. I did nothing.
Sou-chan...

Hey, Souta.
Ep 5
Super Bag in the Heart
This is crazy.
How can we feel at home when it's this clean?
Wh-What?
Don't polish my glasses!
Onii-chan, is something bothering you?
I was punched, but it didn't hurt at all.
Hey, Souta, what's wrong?
Something must've happened with Inami-san.
They weren't really getting along too well.
Now, though...
Oh! They must have broken up!
*They weren't dating
I'd say they never really got together, though.
Still, if this keeps up, the place will become way too uncomfortable.
Then cheer him up, Kazue-neesan.
You're the oldest one here.
Romance troubles, huh?
Though, when your only relationship in thirty years was with Minegishi-chan, I guess it's beyond you.
You're asking for it!
Minegishi-san?
Hello?
Kazue! You're the only one for me!
I'm really sorry! Please marry me again!
Minegishi! Don't call me without a good reason!
I'll report you for stalking!
But I do have a good reason.
We still have to talk about the settlement, among other things.
Just email me that kind of stuff!
But seriously, let's get back together already.
Let's get married. Come on, gimme another chance!
Marry me, and then insult me!
Die! Die five times over!
Yay!
She knows he loves it, but Kazue-nee still shouts at him.
Well, anyway...
Souta, if you don't come to your senses,
I'm gonna drink all the beer in the fridge.
Well, I tried. Now about that beer...
We haven't talked in ages, yet you're being so mean.
Say something.
Don't cry. It's just annoying.
So cruel.
Just what are we?
Writer and editor!
Anyway, just get me a manuscript already!
You're so pushy.
I didn't think an editor for romantic fiction could be so insensitive.
You don't even care about my problems.
I'm the one who's in trouble here!
You're way past the deadline!
In fact, you've been later than usual recently.
Has something happened?
My little brother got a girlfriend.
A girlfriend?
She's in elementary school.
And what does your brother getting a girlfriend have to do with this?
Because now Sou-chan doesn't have time for me.
He won't take care of me anymore.
I'll die without Sou-chan...
You're a lost cause!
Anyway, forget about your little brother and just write, okay?
But...
Jeez, what do you want then!?
What will it take to get you to write!?
If I didn't have to worry...
If I had someone to take care of me...
I know!
Marry me.
I'm a woman!
This is ridiculous!
Your deadline is tomorrow! Goodbye!
Izumi-oneechan, time to eat.
My, this is an impressive meal...
So Souta is the type to turn to housework when he's stressed out.
The rest of house is spotless too.
In a way, he's the perfect homemaker.
Nazuna-chan,
why is Sou-chan stressed out?
Well, it seems like he broke up with his girlfriend.
Sou-chan finally broke up with his elementary school girlfriend?
That makes me happy.
Even Izumi-oneechan is sparkling now!
But he'll run through the budget like this.
Having household skills can be problematic, too.
At this rate, we might go broke.
It seems the time has come for me to act.
Standing tired me out though, so I'll start tomorrow.
All right.
I'll ask Inami-san what I did wrong and apologize.
Inami-san!
Nope, just Yamada.
Y-Yamada!?
You're not supposed to be in today!
Indeed.
However, after what happened the other day, Inami-san was out of sorts.
So, feeling partly responsible, Yamada offered to take her shift.
Incidentally, you're also at fault,
so, as punishment, you'll have to deal with me today!
Curse you, Yamada!
I hope Yamada-san's doing okay.
But I just can't face Takanashi-san right now, so I'll accept her kindness.
If you could find someone you like, that'd really take a load off my shoulders.
I've been looking for you.
I've been looking for you for quite a while.
Oh, you're that novelist I met before.
I'm glad to see you're doing well.
And you look less pale than the last time we met.
I've been training, walking for five minutes every day.
Still, I won't hold out much longer, so I'll get to the point.
I want you to meet my brother.
Apparently he broke up with his girlfriend, and I feel bad for him.
But you look so happy...
How would that help though?
I'd like you to go out with him.
B-But... Guys are...
I'll vouch for him.
He's smart, athletic, kind, good around the house, wears glasses...
That sounds like Takanashi-kun...
Oh, that reminds me, you said you had someone you liked, right?
If there's no progress with that person,
would you consider my brother?
With him, you'll be at peace.
It's important to move on from an unrequited love.
B-But...
You don't want to burden the other person.
Here's the place and date.
Make sure to come, okay?
I-I can't!
Don't think too much about it. There's no pressure.
Just... if you don't come, I'll die.
Th-That's a lot of pressure...
Are you okay?
It seems I've hit my limit.
I'll take you home.
That's okay.
I already asked my younger sister to pick me up.
She should be bringing a trolley for me soon.
A trolley?
What should I do?
I can't meet a guy.
I already like Takanashi-kun...
More importantly, I still have my androphobia...
Yeah, I should throw this away.
If you don't come, I'll die.
Combustible Waste
O-On second thought, maybe I should keep it.
That was a long day.
Yamada screwed up even more than usual.
Dear Inami Mahiru-sama, I hope this message finds you in good health and spirit.
The weather has been fickle these days, but how have you been faring?
I've been swamped with work lately,
but I have acclimated to it.
Now then, the reason I am writing to you is to inquire about
your use of the word "idiot" when we talked the other day.
Sou-chan...
Oh no, I deleted it!
Sorry. Were you texting someone?
Nah, it's fine.
So, what did you want?
Actually, there's a girl I'd like you to meet.
Oh!
To babysit?
No. She's about your age.
Why do I have to meet someone like that?
I heard that you were upset over a break up,
so I thought I'd introduce you to someone new.
Wait a second, I—
You don't have to say anything.
Listen to me!
She's a good girl. She's quiet and considerate.
Quiet and considerate...
I think she's your type.
I don't have a type!
Don't be like that.
Moreover, I think she'd be willing to look after me.
Then isn't she more your type, Izumi-neesan?
You have a late shift tomorrow, right?
Go see her.
That's way too sudden...
I've already told her when and where to meet you.
That aside, I should send...
Is it important?
No, it isn't! Not at all!
Then it's all set.
I'm sure you two will get along well right away.
What's with you!?
My social life is none of your business!
Izumi-neesan?
I'm exhausted from talking.
Anyway, I'm not going.
To set this up...
To set this up, I asked Kozue-chan for basic fitness training,
searched the park for that girl, convinced her to meet you,
and even had Nazuna-chan take me home in a trolley.
I put in all that hard work, shortening my lifespan...
All right, fine!
I can't believe I'm actually here.
I'll have to apologize to her for this mess.
I wonder what she's like?
I'm sure you two will get along well right away.
Get along well right away, huh?
Senpai sure was short and cute when I first met her.
And she's still short.
There was also someone who punched me square in the face the first time we met.
Well, I can't imagine someone making a stronger first impression than Inami-san.
Are Takanashi and Inami both out today?
That's rare.
I heard they both had something important to do.
Yama...
Yamada and natto...
Natto again?
Yep, natto.
She eats it every day.
She loves it.
Yamada is done with natto!
A paper bag...
and boxing gloves...
I'm not a weirdo!
You're definitely a weirdo!
Really, I'm not! Please believe me!
U-Um, there's a reason for this.
Really?
U-Um, are you the author's younger brother?
Uh, yes.
I-I... um, your sister asked me to come.
Oh, it's you?
U-Um...
I'm sorry to hear that you broke up with your girlfriend.
Even she thinks...
U-Um... I...
No, that's not it!
Your sister wanted us to start dating, but that's not what I'm here for.
I just wanted to cheer you up.
Your sister said you were a nice guy who's smart and athletic.
Huh? I've heard this voice before.
S-So... Um...
I-It shouldn't matter, but I already have someone I like.
He's smart, athletic, and kind.
I'm no good, so he hasn't noticed how I feel though.
In fact, he's supporting me to find someone I like.
But you're a lot like the guy I like,
so I'm sure you're a wonderful person,
and you'll definitely find someone new.
So please cheer up.
P-Please give that back!
I have androphobia!
Inami-san.
Whenever I see a guy, there's trouble!
Inami-san, it's me!
It's Takanashi!
Th-This is trouble!
What do you mean, you're done with natto?
Where'd this come from?
Yamada was stirring the natto when it... it...
it did this to me.
Souma-san, please comfort me!
Hey, not so close.
What's the problem?
Well, you're covered in natto!
This accursed natto!
Yamada has made up her mind!
Yamada's going to search for a new soul food in place of natto.
Do you have any recommendations?
How about it, Satou-kun?
Satou-san's actually giving it some thought instead of being cold!
This is ridiculous.
He was just thinking how to ridicule me!
I'm going back to work.
That's cold...
Satou-kun's already got plenty of things on his own plate to worry about.
Can you think of a good soul food, Souma-san?
A food that you like is fine.
Um... Taiyaki?
That's in the natto family.
How exactly?
Let's go, Souma-san!
Where are we going?
To search for food!
Why me?
You're Yamada's big brother,
so act like one and help Yamada out.
I think I do plenty of that already.
Foods?
That we like?
Yep.
Souma-san and I are searching together.
Souma-san is Yamada's big brother, so he's always at Yamada's side.
Huh?
He's over there.
So far!
Well, I'm still on duty.
Nice foods...
Let's see...
I like milk.
Although it's a drink, rather than food.
Oh, and I drink soy milk.
And cooked soybeans are good, too.
Soy milk and soybeans are both still related to natto.
In fact, they're the ingredients.
I see.
Then what about soy sauce rice crackers?
I'm also a fan of bean sprouts.
They're cheap and tasty.
They're still in the same family as natto.
Taiyaki has red bean paste, soy sauce is from soybeans,
and bean sprouts are from beans too.
They're all in the natto family.
So that's what you meant.
When you put it like that, beans are used in all kinds of foods.
Wow, that's true.
Beans sure are amazing!
Beans are natto.
Natto is Yamada.
Yamada is being praised so much...
Yamada is embarrassed!
Everyone is going on and on about natto, which makes Yamada miss it.
Yamada wants natto... right away!
It seems Yamada is done with natto, so you can have it.
Natto!
Didn't you just say she was done with natto?
Beats me.
Natto, natto...
Yamada loves natto after all.
Forgive Yamada!
Something like that...
There's nothing to forgive!
I always knew that our bond was unbreakable!
Natto!
Yamada!
A moving reunion!
It's okay to cry, Souma-san.
I'm going to cry from how ridiculous this is.
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-
What should I do?
I was expecting someone like you, not the real thing.
That's right.
I forgot Izumi-neesan and Inami-san know each other.
Did my sister ask you to wear a paper bag?
U-Um, I thought if I couldn't see their face,
I wouldn't hit them.
I wore gloves just in case, too.
Um, your sister said she felt sorry for you,
so I was hoping I could cheer you up.
Even though she was feeling bad herself, she came to cheer me up?
Damn it! Why does she have to be so nice?
Wait, did she just say that the person she likes is supporting her to find someone else?
Huh? I suddenly feel like I said too much.
Is the guy Inami-san likes...
me?
Did I just tell Takanashi-kun that I like him?
If that's true, everything adds up.
Takanashi-kun can be kind of dense though,
so maybe he hasn't pieced that together.
But... still...
Crap! I'm starting to burn up!
Why am I blushing so much?
The heat's from you!
S-Sorry.
I'm going home!
I'm sorry for everything!
Sou-chan, welcome home.
How'd it go? Wasn't she nice?
Not really!
It didn't work out?

Ep 6
Yamada, Yamaaaada!
Thank you. Please come again!
