I've been losing my motivation as a reporter.
She has terminal cancer.
You can express your feelings to your wife!
To me, she's an irreplaceable existence.
There is someone who will show me
both his weak and shockingly uncool sides.
Open it yourself Momo!
Big Sister!
It's been a while, Sumire. You seem better than ever.
Who are you?
I want to ask you a little something.
About your master, that is.
Thanks for coming back again. I'm Momo.
I was suddenly stopped by someone referring to herself as
"a big sister from Sumire-chan's office"...
Hey, this is pretty frank,
but are you really that woman's pet?
The straight answer is, I'm a pet.
Is that so?
Did you say you're called Fukushima?
What do you have to talk about with me, a pet?
Looks like you really do love your master, right?
I'll get straight to the point.
I want Hasumi.
So... Steal that woman away from him.
If you don't know how to do it,
I can teach you.
Sumire-chan, this is bad. This person is serious.

You're My Pet
- A marriage interview? - Yes.
Our grandfather has entrusted me with a picture for the marriage interview as well.
[Episode 9 : I Love You Just as You Are] You, too, are already thirty years old.
If you don't become someone's wife soon,
you're aware that your value as a woman will decelerate rapidly, right?
Well... But... Suddenly sending me on a marriage interview for that is...
Or, do you have a definite partner already?
What should I do?
If I bring up Hasumi-senpai now,
It'll probably rapidly progress into marriage talks...
But if I say there isn't anyone just because of that, then...
Or rather, what should I do? Momo will return from his errand soon...
If he gets seen...
Then, we'll just proceed with this marriage interview, so please be prepared...
There is someone!
I have a definite partner, so...
- about the marriage interview... - Who is this person? - What?
That person living with you who's like a child?
Or is it one of your colleagues from work?
Big sister... How do you know?
I'm home!
Huh? Sumire-chan, is there a guest...
Hello.
You. What kind of relationship do you have with Sumire?
What is your intention, living with her?
Do you intend to marry her?
W-wait, Big sister, that's not what Momo is.
Momo?
Yes.
Now that you mention it,
he does look quite like that stupid dog that you used to own.
- Stupid dog...? - Elder Sister of Sumire-chan,
there is no need for you to worry.
Because I'm just a pet.
- Pet? -Yes.
- Momo... - Besides,
Sumire-chan has a proper boyfriend with high qualifications.
What's this?
Moreover, Hasumi-kun looks way more handsome than this person.
- Right? - Momo!
Well then, Big sister, please take your time.
I'll step out for a bit. Also, I'm leaving the gingko nuts there, okay?
You're very beautiful.
I have a load of things I want to say to you right now,
but for starters, why don't you introduce me to this "Hasumi-kun."
It hasn't been officially decided, but
there will likely be a personnel change soon. Just keep it in mind.
Yes, sir.
However, you sure are moving along the highway to success at full speed.
Well, if it's someone as hardworking as you, you'll be fine wherever you go...
I deeply apologize.
It was our intention to avoid any expressions that would cause misunderstanding...
Yes.
It is as you say.
Iwaya sure is conscientious, isn't she?
The other party is obviously a claimant, but she's dealing with them professionally.
- Kind of unexpected, isn't it? - That's right, of course.
- Earlier, she bowed down her head even though it's a phone call! - I saw that!
- Like this! - Well, Iwaya has always been someone like that!
- I know that! - H-hey, a little help, please! - Are you okay?
- Someone young! Young person! - Oh! Me, I'll take it!
- Oh no, Sayaka... and Kuraki-san, you're fine. - Take a good look. You can't see one's face over the phone, but you can still see their feelings.
- Boss, boss! - Hey, you-!
Heavy! It's heavy!
Yes.
I understand, yes. Well then, good bye. Okay.
Can we meet on the rooftop later?
Yes, I, too, had something I wanted to talk to you about,
I'll go up during my lunch break.
(reading his palm) Look! It's coming out from here. This is a good omen!
- It's okay, it's okay. - Hey, let me see...
Your girlfriend is here. Well then, I'll be taking my leave now.
Isn't that amazing? You live alone and raise a pet.
What's more, it's a human male.
Sorry, I coincidentally met Fukushima up here.
It's okay! Exactly what did he talk with her about? Don't tell me...
- How's Momo-chan? Doing well? - Huh?
When I went before, I heard from Takeshi
that Momo-chan had been hospitalized, and that was it.
After all, we haven't met since then.
He's been discharged from the hospital.
He's doing well. Doing well.
Has my cover about Momo been blown? Did Fukushima expose the truth?
If so, then that's good.
But don't worry. I won't expose you just yet.
I like to hold on to my last trump card.
No, she said that, so she probably wouldn't reveal my secret right after...
Hey, so... Actually, earlier...
- A serious face. - What?
Sorry. Hold on for a second.
Where should I start?
Where to start?
I can't.
Ahh, but I hate secrets!
Secret?!
My secret's out! Fukushima really did...
After all, I'm sorry. I'll be leaving on a business trip to New York tomorrow.
We'll talk after I get back home.
I still haven't sorted out my feelings.
It could be a difficult decision for you to make.
No, sorry, I take that back.
I might have put you under unusual pressure, so please forget it.
Okay.
So, sorry. I'll be going.
I'll call you.
- Iwaya? - Yes?
Do you love me?
I do.
I love you too.
[ A few days later ]
[Did you arrive in New York? I just got home. I'll take a bath and go to bed.] [You seem so busy.] [Let me hear your voice when you have a moment.] [I'm a little concerned that something's happened.]
Why, Hasumi Senpai?
After all, do you have doubts about me?
I'm home!
So, how long do you intend to continue playing both sides?
- It's not two-timing-- - I don't know about a pet or what,
but it's all the same to onlookers.
Do you think you can stay with him as a pet, even after you get married?
Well, that...
You haven't changed at all since you were a child.
You can only open your heart to a pet, right?
- It's that-- - Sooner or later, you're going to have to choose one.
So you should quickly end this worthless playing with a pet.
I feel so at ease when I'm with him.
Choose... between Momo... or Hasumi Senpai?
You are not near a cellular signal, or the receiver's phone is off.
That's no good. I can't reach Senpai today either.
It's already been four days.
This is bad! My call never goes through these days.
That's pretty bad, she must not like you.
After all, that's what it is.
But I used to get so many calls a day, it was a nuisance.
So what's happening now? Chasing a young idol?
- Wow, that's awesome! Your grandmother's over 80 now, right? - That's right.
That's great. By the way, you hold this. Why am I carrying it?
You forgot to push the button, boss.
Oh yeah, we're at the elevator!
I came back using the key he'd given me and went inside, but...
Of course, he's not here.
The scent of Senpai... I feel my heart beating.
I'm like one of Pavlov's dogs.
Sumire-chan!
Hey, Sumire-chan! Sumire-chan!
What? Did you get drunk again?
- Come on! - I'm home, Momo.
Welcome home! Instead of lying here,
can you get to your bed, Sumire-chan?
- Careful! - If you go to bed without removing your makeup,
I heard your skin will age ten days.
I could never show what you look like to Hasumi-kun.
That's okay! I'm going to be dumped, anyway.
It's better that way.
Okay, now. Let's go.
One... two... three!
Sumire-chan...
Senpai...
Ow! What?
What is this?
I don't know.
Huh?
Huh? I'm home?
Just now...
you were having a sexy dream, weren't you?
Huh? What's that?
Did I say anything?
Sumire-chan isn't really relaxed when she's with Hasumi-kun.
What is it? But you love Hasumi-kun so much, right?
After all...
he's the first one I fell in love with.
- Miss Iwaya! There you are. - Yes.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Hasumi Senpai?
Just thinking about someone, my heart flutters
and I feel feverish and it seems as if tears are about to come.
I felt like that for the first time.
It was agony but happiness at the same time.
I loved him... I loved him. How I felt then
is in here now.
I also don't feel relaxed with him.
I think it might be better to end it too.
But...
Something inside me says we shouldn't end it.
You worked hard.
So, are you going to tell everything to Mr. Hasumi?
He probably already knows.
- Do you think the receptionist told him? - Well,
That's all I can think of... When he went on other business trips, there was never a time when I couldn't contact him.
If that's the case,
I have to tell him myself before he can say it.
Hey, is it true you turned down an offer from the Star Company?
What are you talking about?
Don't evade the question! I heard it from Mr. Umino.
That blabbermouth guy!
I don't know why you're not eager about it.
He said you could pass the Frankfurt entrance exam.
Leave it alone.
For her sake?
Her?
Your owner.
Why?
She's not your lover, so why?
Why do you have to be together?
Hey, why?
So, did you decide?
Up to now, it's kind of a grey area, but if you clearly acknowledge it, there's probably no man who would just accept that.
- I'll probably... - She's not
your type, who can say, "Why?"
"Do this!" "I don't like this!"
She can't say those things.
Probably, I can only live with Momo.
Other than me, she can't cry in front of anyone, even her boyfriend.
Isn't that sad?
What... that's just strange.
Yes, she's a strange person.
Wrong! That's not what I mean!
Why does it have to be you, Takeshi?
It has to be Momo.
Why does it have to be Takeshi?
I wonder why.
It's probably because I'm not a human.
What do you mean?
And so she can't abandon me.
I don't know whether I'm winning or losing.
[Did you arrive in New York? I just got home. I'll take a bath and go to bed.] [You seem so busy. Let me hear your voice when you have a moment.] [I'm a little concerned that something has happened.]
Once he comes back, I have to tell him clearly about Momo.
But if I do so...
I finally got back! Sorry I wasn't able to respond.
Can we meet at lunchtime?
[ PET ]
♫ Nothing lasts forever ♫
♫ But we will struggle on to the end ♫
What should I do? I have to tell him about Momo.
But if I get dumped before telling him...
♫ Every day, we keep moving forward ♫
♫ Yearning for those moments ♫
Senpai?
Since I saw it was you...
♫ Without breaking or tearing down that precious, precious treasure ♫
♫ The world fades to black ♫
♫ I lose sight of it, it passes me by ♫
Senpai, aren't you angry at me?
I've been wanting to do this.
♫ No matter how many amazing promises we make ♫
♫ Only time will tell ♫
♫ Sometimes I will lean on you, Just a little is okay ♫
While being embraced by him, I think about him
with tears flowing.
♫ At that time, suddenly together, I must be becoming an adult-
After all, I do love him.
I can't forget this feeling.
Excuse me.
Anyway, I was very busy. Moreover, my cell phone broke right after arriving in New York.
Is that right?
I was certain... it wasn't found out!
You were certain about what?
But I have to tell him about Momo!
Actually, it's about Momo.
Oh, Momo-chan. That's right, Momo-chan.
Here. I bought this collar in New York for Momo-chan's neck.
Anti-flea...
It's non-chemical, and seems to be gentle.
I was concerned since Momo-chan seems to be sensitive.
And also...
I had love keys made.
So now the princess can come at any time.
P-princess?
Thank you.
Then I'll return the key that I had borrowed until now.
- What was it you wanted to say before, Senpai? - Huh?
There's still something, after all.
Oh, well, before, Fukushima asked me
if I weren't concerned that you seemed a little distant.
At that time...
At that time, I thought she hit the bulls-eye.
To be honest, I was a little down about that.
That's not so...
But recently, you haven't been carrying a handkerchief.
Huh? No, I always have one in my jacket.
Yes, but you always used to be holding it, right?
But these days, you don't hold it.
I wonder when I stopped.
So...
that's why I can always hold your hand.
I wonder if that means that little by little,
you're becoming more relaxed with me.
So,
I've been thinking since I was away...
Yes?
We...
should address each other more casually.
Do you mean we'll change what we call each other?
After all this time, shall we stop using polite forms?
Okay, but I don't know all of a sudden what to call you.
Don't think so much about it.
But so suddenly, I'm sorry,
I can't just say something like "Hasumi."
No, no, no, that's okay. Just use my first name.
Your first name?
Oh, what is it? What's Senpai's first name?
Miss Iwaya?
Sh-Shigehito?
Right.
Something like Shigehito-san*? (*People who are close usually drop the 'san')
- Yeah. Then what should I call you? Sumire-chan? - That's okay, call me Iwaya.
Iwaya!
Did you wait... Shi-Shigehito-san?
No, I just came.
It's rather warm today. (speaking informally)
It was cold yesterday. (speaking informally)
Shall we go?
Great! It's working out.
What shall I do? I can't come up with any conversation using informal language.
Oh, I'm sorry, Shigehito-san!
It became warm after walking.
Iwaya... san.
Yes! Uh... What?
After all, do you still become tense with me?
That's not it! (formally) No! (informally)
But sometimes you seem to be very tired.
What shall I do? He knows.
Is that so? It's just your imagi-(changes to informal) -nation!
Won't you show
your real self to me?
My real self?
I want you to be
as you really are.
My true self...
What is it?
Here we go!
All men say that!
Is that so? But there was nothing like that until now.
They say it, they say it! Once they get a little uneasy, they all say it.
Uneasy? Hasumi-senpai?
Of course! When she doesn't allow him sex,
or when he thinks she's finally going to stay overnight, but she leaves,
or she never allows him to come in to her house, and she goes home at night
because she has to feed the dog, the relationship would normally be over!
That's definitely heartless, but what does he mean by my true self?
The important thing is that you should never show your true self.
Really?
Mr. Hasumi thinks that the reason for no longer holding your handkerchief
- is because you can relax with him, right? - Yeah, right.
I don't know if he's pure-hearted or what,
but he's the one you really want to hold the handkerchief against, isn't he?
That's true, I always get tense around Senpai.
Do you think it's good to be tense around a boyfriend?
But recently, I've stopped constantly holding onto the handkerchief.
Right, that's true.
Can you think of any reason why?
A reason why?
A reason for that?
Hey, Ran-chan. When the prince
kissed Snow White, she woke up.
Even though she should have died from the poison apple.
- Isn't that strange? - It's strange!
It's strange, isn't it?
I think it's cute. Someone who is always so perfect
actually sweats when she's stressed.
Is Momo the reason?
Anyway, let Mr. Hasumi think that way.
- Huh? - Probably that
is what Mr. Hasumi thinks is your true self.
Oh, I'm getting confused,
but what kind of me is he expecting?
Think about it by yourself.
Well, Ran-chan, we'll be leaving now!
- Thank you for the food. - Yes, thank you for the food.
Being concerned about what someone thinks...
Is it such a bad thing?
Huh?
You're concerned about what Hasumi-kun thinks because you love him, right?
If so, that's true to yourself, isn't it?
Momo... I get concerned about others because I love them?
That's my true self?
I want Hasumi,
so I want you to steal her away from him.
If you don't know how,
I don't mind teaching you.
- You have beautiful nails . . . Miss Fukushima. - What?
Your hands are so soft,
so nice, they feel wonderful.
So I see... you're accustomed to handling women.
So why don't you go ahead and use your technique to do something with her?
That I can always do, but I wouldn't.
Why not?
I only want to do those things for someone
if she wants me to.
So I wouldn't do what she doesn't wish for.
I'm sorry I couldn't meet your expectations.
Well, goodbye.
Shigehito!
Uh, Senpai.
- Sorry to keep you waiting. - Sorry to disturb you during work...
No problem. I also had something I want to talk about.
Oh? What is it?
I'm sorry but
Can we go back
to how we used to speak and call each other?
Huh?
In other words, maybe we can change more gradually.
My sister, for instance,
used to be her husband's secretary,
but still seems to call him "President" sometimes by mistake.
And also,
you can go back to calling me "Iwaya-san."
I got it. We were definitely forcing it.
Iwaya-san... Your mouth was getting stiff, like this.
Is that right?
How stupid I was. I thought I knew...
Maybe I was impatient...
Senpai...
What I want to tell you is... It was hard to bring it up...
Before the last business trip, I was called in by the department head.
It's not decided yet, but there may be transfers in the next HR plans.
What does that mean?
I might be relocated to Seoul.
If that happens,
would you come with me?
I go to Seoul?
I would like you to come with me.

I hear that Iwaya is going out with Hasumi from the Foreign News Department.
- Are they going to get married? - What are you hesitating for? By any chance... [Finally marrying Hasumi?]
Is it because of the boy?
I proposed to her... and asked her to go to Seoul with me.
Is there something bothering you? [Will Momo's home disappear?]
Telling you wouldn't be of any use.
You're just noticing things like that now? You're a failure as a pet owner.
I need both of them. I can't abandon him.
You're My Pet.
See you in the next episode!
