I'll get some water.
Thank you very much.
Are you okay?
Eh?
Ah, yeah.
I'm sorry.
It seems like the blood was stopped to it.
Eh?
Ah, I held you too strongly, didn't I?
I'm sorry.
I'm happy about it.
Here you go.
Thank you very much.
Let's see, um... Hide-san.
Yes.
It's sooo good!
When we were running away, the cameraman I hate the most, um...
With the...
Ah, the small mustache man!
Right! The small mustache man! That small mustache...
...was so shocked when I and Mineko-chan came out!
He was eating his persimmon ice when he went "Ah!" like that...
...and spilled the persimmon ice all over himself!
Eh?
It splatted directly on the camera around his neck!
The look on his face!
Ah, that felt so great! I was so happy!
Serves him right! Serves him right!
Ah?!
Ah... Yasuharu-san!
"Yasuharu-san"? Of the persimmon ice?
Yes.
Wonder if he's okay...
He'll be fine. Since he told us to leave it to him.
Yes...
First off, what should we do?
Ah, about me? Ah, what should I do?
Ah... it went out.
It's stopped.
What is this?
Yuji...
Keisuke...
A blackout... isn't it?
It is a blackout, isn't it?
It is.
My, my, it's a blackout, isn't it?
At that time, blackouts in Tokyo...
...were quite numerous compared to nowadays.
Take your time.
Tomi-chan, are you okay?
Yeah.
Are you there, Tomi-chan?
I'm here.
It's yet another blackout, isn't it?
Thank goodness it happened on our day off.
That's right.
I touched someone just now.
Eh? Who? Who?
Dunno, dunno. I just touched someone.
I'm sorry.
Eh?
Huh? Genji-senpai, are you here?
Huh? Hide, is that you?
It's me.
Ah, Goro-san, sorry.
Gen-chan got drunk yesterday and spent the night at our place.
He was a royal pain.
A real royal pain!
What is that?!
Sorry he's such a pain, Yatsue-san.
Genji!
Sorry!
Shogo-san, you're here too, aren't you?
Ah, Nagai-san?
Yes! It's me, Aiko. Hello.
Ah, hello.
Can't see you, but you're wonderful.
Ah, thanks.
I don't know where Yasuharu is! Yasuharu!
Eh?
He's not around!
Both Yasuharu and the persimmon ice machine are gone.
Ii-chan. Isn't he just making a delivery?
You're being far too clingy a parent.
Ah, that might be right.
Taking the persimmon ice machine with him?
Right, right, right.
Wonder if Mineko's okay?
She did go out, didn't she?
Ah... I'm here.
Eh? You're here, Mineko?
I am.
What are you doing, Keisuke?!
I'm scared of the dark!
Ah, um...
Huh? What is it Mineko? Is there something?
Yeah... Ah...
Ah!
Huh?
About this! Um, um...
Let's see... Ah, geez!
That was Kawamoto Setsuko...
Mineko's in her uniform even though it's our day off.
Eh? What is it? Is it Yasuharu?
It's not!
Listen everyone!
Mineko-chan, I'll tell them.
Ah... yes.
Um... I'm...
Um... I'm Kawamoto Setsuko. I'm terribly sorry.
Ah!
Ah... Ah... Let's see... Um, about Setsuko-san!
Eh... Eh... A lot of things happened...
...so she'll be staying here for a little while...
Really...
Yeah.
Ah, Tomi-san, would that be okay?
Yeah. It's okay!
Thank goodness...
Let's see... we'll decide which room she'll be in later...
Um, everyone, I sincerely and earnestly ask...
...that you keep that Kawamoto-san will be staying here a secret, please!
Of course we will, right?
You know we will.
I'm very sorry for this.
Yes.
Be careful when talking to people.
Ya-chan, Ii-chan and Genji.
Eh? I'm included?
And you too, Tomi-chan.
Ah, my.
Got that, you group of chatterers?
Yes.
Ah! Um, um... Look...
The three of us were thinking about frying up some gyoza to eat.
Since I made more than we could sell, how about all of us fry them up and eat them?
Sounds good!
That is good!
He made too many in his free time yesterday. Waaay too many!
What are you talking about?!
Ah, then we'll offer up the liquor.
Hey, what will this be? I'm trying to think of the word for it...
Beer garden.
Oh! That's it, that's it!
Okay! Then let's make the preparations, okay? For Setsuko-chan's welcoming party, right?
Sounds good!
Now, are you ready? Then let's have a toast.
Eh... let's see... Kawamoto Setsuko-san.
Yes?
Welcome to Akane Villa.
Welcome.
And then, Tokiko.
Yes.
Eh... What was it? Eh...
We wish for you to win the contest to be Japan's Twiggy.
Eh? You entered that?
Yes.
That's great, that's fine! Yeah, that's great!
Eh? Really?
Yeah.
Thank you very much!
And then to celebrate...
...the birth of the newly reborn New Tomi-chan.
Ah, my! I'm so happy!
And then to those of you who have done well or have become happy.
That's true, right?
Okay, Kanpai!
Kanpai!
Tokiko!
Thank you!
Kanpai!
And then, for all this...
Even though it's normal for a Chinese restaurant to have gyoza, right?
What are you saying?! Well, eat up, okay?
Itadakimasu!
How are they?
Well, we haven't had a chance to eat yet.
How are they? How are they?
They okay? They okay?
Behhhry good!
The goat appeared!
The goat?
Ah, when you say "behhry good," it's like the bleat of a goat.
Then everyone, all together. One, two...!
Behhhry good!
Setsuko-san, you too. One, two...!
Be... behhry good!
Behhhry...
No, no, this is good.
Ah, really? Thank goodness.
They're good fried, too.
They're always good that way.
Really?
That's great, isn't it? They all said it was delicious.
Every bit as good as my fried rice, right?
They're all just kind, is all.
Right?
That's right.
This is Sanae-san, who lives on the first floor.
And then these two live on the second floor...
...and are manga artists... eh...
Ah, I'm Yuji.
I'm Keisuke.
And this is the one I live with, Tokiko.
Living in the room next to us is Aiko-san.
And this is the landlady, Tomi-san.
And which room will she go to?
To my room, right?
Yeah. That's true, huh?
Yeah, well, she should, huh?
Yeah.
Aiko-san, please share your room with her.
Yeah!
Let's get along.
Thanks for waiting.
You've cut it.
Setsuko-san, the watermelon's come. Come sit, come sit.
Dad... They're all so kind.
None of them asked Setsuko-san about anything...
...and they acted normally; telling her all sorts of stories.
And... Setsuko-san smiled like a child.
Starting today, we added one more friend.
Not this again...
Making anko...
Ah... It's Yasuharu.
