Why don't you become my pet?
You are Momo.
It's been 9 years, hasn't it?
Hasumi-senpai?
I think it's cute to see that a person who's always perfect
actually breaks out in a sweat when they're nervous.
From now on,
let's just have a good relationship as colleagues.
That's wrong.
It is not like that.
To be honest...
Senpai, I-
Hasumi!
I'm Fukushima. I work at Reception.
Come on! We see each other every day.
I saw the article from a while back. I heard about it,
you played a main role in getting the scoop! So cool!
Are you free right now? If it's okay with you, I'd love to hear the behind the scenes story.
I'm sorry I can't right now.
Yes. This is Iwaya.
I understand. I'll return immediately.
I'm sorry, I've been asked to edit an article that just came in.
I see.
Work hard.
So, that scoop,
you must have been working on it from before. Using your connections,
Hasumi-san, you're quite the strategist aren't you?
What?
Oh.
I may not look like it but I'm the same way.
I will use whatever hand I can to get what I want.

You're My Pet - Kimi Wa Petto
So in the end you didn't say it?
[How to Spend a Birthday] But you know, the timing...
Honestly, if you only had one thousandth of the assertiveness that receptionist has...
- Hey, young lad. - Huh? - Extra milk for me.
What?
My name is Momo.
She is Sumire-chan, my master.
It seems like she's been kind of down lately.
There's only one reason for that...
Alright, choose one.
The "Lovers" card.
Hasumi is diligent,
and is unexpectedly earnest once he likes someone.
I don't think he'll do anything halfheartedly.
- Really? - Oh.
He might be weak towards seduction.
If someone presses him, it'll be bad. He's popular isn't he?
Did you say she was a receptionist?
Oh, that's dangerous! That's bad!
- So dangerous! - Hey, hey, hold on a second!
So what should I do?
It's simple.
You have to become honest with him.
At the very least, you must have the courage to speak your mind with him, right?
- What's wrong? - Here you go. Whoa!
Sorry!
Momo, what are you doing?
- Sorry, Yuri-chan. Did you get wet? - No, I'm okay.
Hey, Sumire. Although I said you have to be honest with him, if you don't keep this kid a secret, it'll be bad!
If you told him this was your "pet", he'd be running for the hills!
Sorry, I'll make you another cup.
Aunt, here. Do mine for me.
Aunt?
I'm the same age as Sumire.
The Power card.
What's that?
What? What? What is it?
Tell me, what is it?
Unexpected.
What is? What's unexpected?
I won't tell you because I'm an "Aunt."
Don't push yourself.
- Good work today. - Good work today, everyone.
Sumire-sama, pardon me for leaving me first.
Good work today.
I finished it.
From now on,
let's have a good relationship as colleagues.
[Do you have time? I'd like to meet and talk for a bit...]
Good work today.
I have something I'd like to discuss with you.
Discuss what?
That sounds kind of dull.
Good work today! Do you want to go out for a quick drink now?
No... that's too informal.
[I want to see you.]
I want to see you.
[Foreign News Department]
Hasumi-san!
Oh, hi.
- Good work today. - Good work.
Are you okay? You said there's a stalker?
Yes.
I'm... so scared.
Hasumi, what will you have?
Oh, no, I'll pass.
Come on, accompany me at least for a bit.
If I return home just like this, who knows what will happen to me...
I'm scared.
Okay, then.
Excuse me! A beer, please.
It must've been rough.
You're the only one
I can discuss something like this with.
Even when I've broken up with someone,
they often say they can't forget about me, and follow me around.
Can you understand something like that, Hasumi?
I still haven't been able to forget what happened that night,
Even though nine years have passed.
[Nine Years Ago] Iwaya and I were in the fencing club together in college.
It happened when were on the way home after a drinking party with the fencing club.
Senpai...
I'm pretty sure Iwaya wanted me that night.
But...
At the time, I had a girlfriend.
But the person who occupied my heart
was Iwaya.
After that happened, I immediately broke up with my girlfriend...
But Iwaya-san wouldn't look at me no matter what.
Men might be creatures that only see the things that they want to see.
It's true, isn't it?
Men tend to glorify their memories, don't they?
What? Oh...
[Iwaya Sumire: Good work today.]
Good work today. Are you still working?
If you have time, can we meet for a bit?
Sorry, I have to go.
What? Already?
Be careful returning home.
I look forward to
what happens next.
I apologize for making you come all the way here when you're tired.
I wanted to tell you what I couldn't last time,
no matter what.
No, I was curious about that too.
I'm really happy to have been reunited with you.
But when you're standing in front of me, I get a little nervous.
I see.
I...
11 years ago...
When I got lost and you helped me...
You've been on my mind since then,
and so I've gone back and forth feeling confused and depressed about it by myself.
Even now, I'm just as I was back then.
I feel lost on the inside.
But...
I do know this, at the very least.
You told me, right?
That we should just maintain a good relationship as colleagues.
I don't want that.
I... don't want things to stay this way.
I...
have never been able to forget you, Iwaya.
But... I thought you hated me.
No, that's not true!
Please...
Go out with me.
This is such a relief!
I feels like we're middle schoolers or something.
Oh, that's right.
Are you free next Sunday?
Yes.
Then, let me meet Momo-chan.
I really love dogs.
Of course!
But... He's fearful of strangers...
These are some weird clothes you've bought... This, and this too...
Here! This with this.
Hey,
what about this? Look.
That's no good!
You should wear clothes that feel good! Then he'll want to touch it too. Don't you agree?
- And also... Here. - Hold on...
Plus, if you're wearing a skirt, when you get in the mood, you won't ruin the mood.
Right? Really.
Yuri!
As for your bra...
This one.
- What?! - Isn't it nice?
Wait, wait...! No, no, no!
You can't do that here!
Auntie, auntie, over here for a bit!
Auntie!
Hey, he's not trained at all.
I don't want to hear that from you.
- It's the owner's fault though. - What was that?
Nothing!
This. This is his bed, okay?
I'll leave this with you, so don't worry.
Right? Okay.
It's almost time! Sumire, good luck, okay?
Break a leg!
- Thanks! - Sure thing!
I have to change...
Today, you're Momo. Okay?
You're my substitute. Got that?
Okay? If you understand, then paw.
Paw!
Paw! Like this. Got that? This is "paw."
Okay, you're a good boy, aren't you?
Oh, it's already this late? Momo, hurry and get out.
What? What's with that manner of speech?
Hurry and get out, I said. If you don't,
I won't put gingko nuts in your chawanmushi (savoury egg custard)!
It would be nicer if you praised me you know.
I got here a little early... Were you busy?
Absolutely not!
Uhh, this kid is... My relative's...
Hello. I'm Sumire-chan's second cousin from her mom's side.
- I'm Takeshi Goda. - That's right, Takeshi-kun.
She's helping me study for my exams.
- Right? He's really bad at remembering things. - It's hard.
It's time for you to go to prep school, right?
- Oh yeah, I have to go! - Go on. Bye! - Well, then...
Take your time, Uncle.
- Come on in. - Okay.
Excuse me for intruding.
[Open] [Pet]
[Close] Work, a pet, and a man.
My owner now has all three. Hmm...
That's a little greedy.
Now... What will you do?
[Pet]
It's because I'm a pet.
Momo-chan is so cute!
Momo.
Momo, come here!
Momo, come here! Momo!
Momo, come here.
You came! What a good boy!
As expected, she'll listen to her owner.
Hearing her bark on the other day, I imagined her as a big dog.
Well, sometimes she barks like a grown-up dog.
Senpai, would you like something to drink?
Could I have some coffee?
Here.
Thanks.
Where should you sit?
A: Sofa B: Chair
Hint! People who can connect through personal space, connect through love
How much space your partner gives you tells you how they feel about you
A: Sofa
What is it?
Nothing.
But... it is too sudden if I just sit down beside him?
I really don't think we are on that level yet.
What should I do?
Come sit.
Yes.
Here we go.
This is really close.
It makes me nervous.
Senpai, do you want to see a movie?
No.
Stay here.
Sorry,
I wanted to touch you.
Sumire!
I'm sorry.
Are you, are you alright?
What happened, Takeshi-kun?
I forgot something.
O... okay.
Can I have money for the train?
What what what?
Sorry for having to rush off.
No, I should be the one apologize.
I hope you will have a good time working on a night shift.
Yes.
Ah, that is right. It's your birthday next Friday, isn't it?
Yes.
He remembered it!
Well...
I am good at remembering.
Let me ask, do you have any plans?
No, not really.
Are you okay?
You seem really tired.
What should I do...
about my birthday?
Your birthday?
My birthday is next week.
He wants to celebrate with me.
Your birthday is coming up?
Congratulations!
Why don't you seem happy?
Girls normally like spending a birthday with someone they like, right?
But... I am not really used to it.
Birthdays were nothing special because my parents weren't on good terms.
Nobody really gathered for my birthday.
Birthday gifts were textbooks.
Since I started working, I stayed up all night writing articles on my birthday.
I see.
Must had been hard on you, Sumire-chan.
But... I had one birthday party that I enjoyed.
What?
It was a birthday of this older boy who was my relative.
When I was little, I liked him.
He cut his birthday cake for guests,
and he hid a ring with ruby on it in one of the cakes.
Whoever got that ring would get to dance with him.
It was planned out very well,
and the ring was supposed to go to his fiancée from the beginning.
I was the only one didn't know since I was a kid.
I won't be able to forget it.
How I got excited and disappointed.
Like this, I haven't had a single great memory for my birthday.
Then...
You should start making great memories with this birthday.
Okay?
That's right.
What do you want to do on your birthday?
Maybe I should make a reservation at a restaurant with a great night view.
Or we can visit somewhere far with a car.
But aren't you busy, Senpai?
It is alright. I asked someone else to take my night shift.
What kind of present would you like?
Present?
On the other day, my Chappa gave me a surprising gift. What do you think it is?
I have no idea.
A grasshopper without a head... And it was moving!
No way! That is super gross.
A grasshopper...
Momo-chan doesn't do that?
It hasn't happened so far.
You can't really scold her.
Cats are doing it for you.
That is how they show their love.
They want to do things for you that would make them happy if it was done for them.
But... That is a basic on love, right?
I made a poem about love-
I have a few ideas already.
So... That means that switching a shift to spend a birthday and
receiving gifts... I guess that is what he likes.
Ah, did something else come up?
No, I am looking forward to it.
When is your birthday?
It was last month.
I am sorry.
Do you have anything you want?
Well... Nothing special.
As long as you stay right next to me.
What am I saying?
Did it give you goosebumps?
You are frozen!
But it is true.
- Senpai. - It is alright.
That hand.
I like you.
That voice.
I can feel my brain is melted by those.
Yamaguchi
Should we go back now?
Okay.
- Momo. -Huh?
Look at this.
How is it?
Not good? Is my chest showing too much?
Nope. Not at all.
Thanks.
Then... what about this?
My lipsticks. Too red?
It is really good.
Then... It makes you want to kiss me?
But it doesn't mean he is this way.
This is too much work. It is just a birthday.
There were many Japanese victims
of the fire in Hong Kong.
Since I know the city, I will be busy for a while.
I might not be able to celebrate your birthday with you.
You don't have to look that worry. I am totally fine.
Not problem at all.
Please watch your health even you are busy.
I will talk to you soon.
Momo.
Hey, Momo.
Do you want to shampoo? It's been awhile.
- Right now? - Yes.
Come over.
Okay, I will rinse your hair.
Alright.
Ouch.
Ouch, it got in my eyes!
Ah, I am sorry.
- Sorry. - Thanks.
Did something happen?
Nothing.
Don't worry.
It is alright.
You need to work, and it is okay.
Okay, good night.
- Yoshida! - Yes.
Come over.
What is it?
This is the article from earlier.
- Can you finish it? Today. - What?
Today is impossible, I'm up to my ears!
- No, today. - Well, I am working on something else!
- Today. - I said that it is impossible.
- Give it to me. - I will do it.
I just sent my work to printing, so I am available to do it now.
I am finished.
Already?
Wow, not bad at all. You did great.
Well...
Oh, I am sorry. You can go home now.
Anything else I can do?
- Me. too. - You, too?
Let's see...
There are more for you, Iwaya.
Maybe this is too advanced for you, director.
I will do it.
Wow, is that the skill she got from Harvard?
I guess so.
I'm glad. This will make it just a normal day.
Nothing special about a birthday.
Why aren't you going home?
Ah, that is right. It is Friday night.
Oh no...
How can I be so disappointed?
Momo?
Momo.
Happy birthday, Sumire-chan!
See? You almost didn't make it.
Come see this. Tada!
It was successful. Were you surprised?
There's more. It gets even better.
Tada! [ Happy Birthday Sumire-chan ]
What do you think this is?
A cake.
No. A birthday cake.
I made a little mistake at the end,
but I did good when I started, right?
What is it? What is on your face?
Okay, Sumire-chan.
Happy birthday! Yay!
Blow your candles.
Happy birthday!
Okay, let's eat.
Is it edible?
Of course, it is. I will cut it for you.
Let's eat.
How is it? Taste okay?
Not bad.
Don't be so mean.
You got it.
It is just a toy. Too cheap?
Good boy.
I love you.
Someone is calling me.
[ Hasumi-senpai ]
Hello?
Ah, it is me, Hasumi. I got off earlier than I thought.
If you can come out now, I will come get you.
Right now?
Well, I am sorry but not today. I am with my family.
I see. Too bad.
Next time then. Have a good birthday.
Thank you. I will talk to you later.
Sumire-chan.
You're always clinging to me.
I guess I was rushing things.
Cheers.
Tastes good.
Well, you can look forward to next birthday, too.
On your next birthday...
I will give you tickets for free massages.
- Next birthday? - Yes, next birthday.
I got it. I will look forward to it.
Yes, you should.
Spending my 30th birthday with my pet.
It is also a good memory... I think.

[ Episode 5 : Thinking of You Even When We're Apart ] I might not come home this weekend.
Your cat has disappeared again?
[Momo is gone] Maybe he left on his own.
You are going home now?
I didn't know he was such a great person. I saw the article about him from 3 years ago.
Sumire-chan.
You shouldn't waste your time on him. All he cares is himself. [Revealing Momo's true personality!?]
Hasumi!
He might be with someone else.
Am I going to lose you like this?
You're My Pet
[See you in the next episode!]
