Roman Holiday
What is this...
It looks like it's going to rain.
But to the west, the sky's still red.
Is it making fun of me?
She must've had something urgent come up.
Seriously...
No! Don't throw me away!
Look at me carefully.
Look at me.
I beg you.
If you do that, you'll definitely be captivated by me.
You'll be very touched, so much you might cry.
That was the ticket's voice.
Strange girl.
Give it to me.
Why?
You were going to throw it away.
It would be such a waste, right?
Here, take it.
Thank you.
Well then.
Let's save the other ticket as well.
Hey!
It's Rome.
No matter what you say, this is still Rome.
No.
No matter what you say, this is still Rome.
She keeps on reading the subtitles.
What's with her?
That was a great movie, Roman Holiday.
That's true, but why did you keep reading the subtitles?
Because I want to become Audrey Hepburn.
Eh?
I... I see.
Ah... Ta-Tanaka-san!
She didn't forget... her promise to me.
She's here... Tanaka-san from Accounting!
You. Give me back my ticket.
No no, I don't exist any more.
I only live once.
Ta-Tanaka-san!
Yo. Sorry to keep you waiting.
Ah... You're late, darling.
Eh? You want to watch this junk?
No way. Sorry you had to come here to get me.
Let's go.
No way... Tanaka-san.
Didn't you say you wanted to watch Roman Holiday?
And your appointment here was with me!
Was the ticket meant for her?
Don't point it out. Leave me alone.
Besides, I'm so stupid, and so weak, unable to do anything.
Hey hey.
I can't achieve anything.
Like trash. Like a tick.
Listen to me.
Do you want me to console you?
To repay you for the ticket.
Shut up!
Eh?
There you go! Cheer up!
Having your heart broken once or twice is nothing!
A broken heart is ok, you'll be fine
Hey, when you said consoling me, was this what you meant?
Shut up.
Master. Bring me another big one.
And an oden combination platter.
Sure!
Oh, you want another one?
Eh? Ah, nah. I'm fine. I didn't bring that much money.
Two mugs of beer please!
Only beer and yakitori... are you a student? Freelancer?
No... umm... I'm an apprentice voice actress...
Voice actress? For animes?
Animes are included. Also dubbing foreign films.
Ah, when you said Audrey Hepburn, you were being serious.
Just now, did you think I was a crazy person?
No. Not at all.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Voice actress, huh?
That's good. Take advantage of your youth to chase your dreams. Do your best.
You seem to be telling me to give it up!
Dreams can't be achieved so easily.
How will I know without trying?
Reality is not that easy!
I worked hard to get into the advertising company I aimed at.
However, not one of my proposals has been accepted.
That's reality.
I can't do it any more....
How annoying. Old people have no dreams at all.
I'm just 26!
If your heart is old...
...your dreams can't be fulfilled.
More lines, huh?
That's my original!
Thank you for the meal.
You're younger than me, a girl, and broke.
I can't ask you to treat me.
Hey, I paid for two mugs of beer and a plate of yakitori!
Sure sure. Thank you for the meal.
I live that way.
Different directions.
We live rather close.
Yeah.
Ah, so it started to rain after all.
Hey, feeling better?
Ah, yeah.
That's good.
After going past that corner, you should go home.
Please promise me that you'll go back.
What is it this time?
You didn't watch it carefully?
It's Princess Ann's line.
See ya!
Oh, Matsumaru-kun, you...
Is that yakitori?
Darling, you like it, right? Eat a lot of it!
Tanaka-san from Accounting is mine!
However, I've already given up.
Tanaka-san, good bye.
Don't dub another person's voice so carelessly!
Hey.
Are you alright?
Here to join the crowd?
I was worried about you!
Is the pillow the only thing you managed to carry out?
Anything else?
No.
Any friends or relatives nearby?
None.
Then...
Never mind.
Idiot. Come to my place.
Hmm?
Eh?
I need to repay you for your mug of beer and that plate of yakitori.
I'll put your pajamas here. They're new.
Al...right.
Please sleep on the bed, princess.
Thank you. Sleeping on the couch would be very uncomfortable.
Alright. Get to sleep before you get cold.
I've switched the heater on.
Don't treat me so well. I'll cry.
Idiot. It's ok to cry,
since something like that happened.
I'm switching off the lights.
In any case, just sleep.
Tomorrow, once you feel better...
They're all burnt! My textbooks and photos are all burnt.
I-I'll help you buy that stuff again.
Although there are some things that can't be bought...
Thank you.
You're welcome.
It's warm...
Ah... I haven't introduced myself yet.
I'm Onda Aka.
Aka as in the red setting sun.
20 years old.
Voice actress... in training.
I... I'm Matsumaru Fumihiko.
26 years old.
Working for a candy company.
I'm heading back to the office.
Good bye.
Aka.
Voice actress in training... huh?
Who is she, really?
Hey, Matusmaru-kun. The newly-washed laundry smells bad.
What? The first floor here is a fish store?
*Sniff* *sniff*.
Take 2: Sabrina Fair
Smelly-ki!
