My Fair Lady
Good morning.
Good morning, Matsumaru-kun.
You're showering this morning, huh.
Yoshioka wants me to look more beautiful.
What's wrong?
No... nothing...
Matsumaru-kun.
Yes?
I want to get dressed, could you leave?
Matsumaru-kun, are you coming home late again tonight?
No, not today.
Then let's eat dinner out together.
It's my payday.
So it'll be my treat tonight.
Huh? You?
It won't be only yakotori and beer.
It'll be a restaurant.
I'll book a table at 7, ok?
All right, understood.
This won't do.
Planning book
"Ha" Curry Flavor, new release!
Do you believe wrapping its head in a turban suffices for Curry Flavor?
Planning book
Think of a better advertisement, one with more impact.
Yes.
What? I'm the leading actress? Is that true, President?
This isn't something I'd lie about.
The H-game you did earlier is being made into an anime.
It's a 26 episode TV series, in two seasons.
Our company will be promoting Onda-kun more aggressively.
I'm counting on you.
Yes! I'll do my best.
Not a cat... what about this?
This isn't original at all...
I can't think of anything.
Onda-chan is getting famous.
Seems like she'll be doing a live radio broadcast next.
She sure is hardworking.
Matsumaru-kun, I've been selected to be the lead voice actress in a TV series!
Lead actress! Awesome!
She's the lead actress, lead actress!
Aka just messaged me...
Matsumaru! Why did you hide this from me?!
Are you Ondo Aka's...
You're in her fanclub too, huh?
No! Did you think I would lose that easily?
It's in my hands now.
I'll never give it back to you!
Behold my final blow.
Go, Fire Storm!
Good job everyone.
Good job.
Turned out fine with just one take.
Seems like your voice as a boy is pretty good.
Thank you.
You have an interview later.
It's about new voice actors, but it seems they'll be featuring you.
Yes.
Wonderful curry flavor, new release?
It's not very compelling.
Boss, I'm done. Here.
I asked Hatakeda-kun to think about it as well.
So how is it?
New taste, "Ha" Curry flavor.
[TL note: kareha = dead leaves, a pun on "curry HA"]
It's called "Curry Ha",
then the dead leaves fall down and cover Nekoki instantly.
Curry Ha.... good.
Let's go with that.
Thank you.
Used Hatakeda's plan, huh...
Even though Nekoki is the character I thought up...
No, its my own fault for not thinking up a good plan.
I made a promise with Aka today.
I look so gloomy...
No, no!
Aka must be happy to be chosen as the lead actress.
Do you have a role in mind that you would like to do, Onda-san?
The role of a girl growing up.
Like when Professor Higgins taught Eliza how to become an elegant lady.
I see.
This is kinda embarrassing.
But...
Aka, congratulations on becoming the lead actress.
Thank you, Matsumaru-kun!
Could Aka still be working?
Thank you. Good job.
I'm way late for our dinner, I have to hurry.
President!
Good job.
Thank you.
Do you have time after this, Onda-kun?
It's about Director Nagasaki.
Director Nagasaki?
He's a famous anime director, he's won awards overseas.
Of course I know of him.
I'm having dinner with him, I thought I might introduce you to him.
Director Nagasaki may be looking for a voice actress for his next production.
Erm, I'm sorry.
I already have something to do tonight.
What are you talking about, Aka?
Don't you want to be part of Director Nagasaki's project?
No...
As a professional, you can't miss a chance like this.
Erm, do you want to have something to eat?
Sorry, I'll cancel today.
We can't reach the number you have dialed or the phone is off.
He's out of the service area....
It's because the restaurant is underground.
Aka, what are you doing?
Mud got into my eyes!
This is bad!
It's a useless project report anyway...
The actor's voice yesterday was too harsh.
Yes, right.
I'm home.
You're home, Matsumaru-kun.
I'm sorry about today.
I called you but I couldn't get through.
The meeting took longer than expected.
And after that, the President suddenly decided to introduce me to Director Nagasaki.
Never mind, it's okay.
Are you angry?
I'm really sorry.
I was busy the whole day.
You seem to be happy about your job.
Yes!
Great! You're a famous voice actress now!
Everything can be forgiven if you say you're busy.
Even breaking your own promises.
Just like a queen!
Matsumaru-kun...
This was a present from the President because I was cast as the lead actress.
I bought some beer.
It's for you, Matsumaru-kun.
Let's have a toast together, okay?
I'm not in the mood for it.
Did something happen?
Not really.
Having a rough time at work?
It wasn't on purpose, okay?
I'm truly sorry, Matsumaru-kun.
I was supposed to have dinner with you.
But in front of you, I'm not a famous voice actress, nor a queen.
The person I love is the king.
That's a quote from "My Fair Lady."
To me, Matsumaru-kun is...
I'm not that good a man!
And stop quoting lines from movies.
Matsumaru-kun...
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.
Aka is making her dreams reality.
Just like that Eliza who said "rine" instead of "rain"...
I'm really useless.
Jeez, Matsumaru-kun, don't walk around the room in your underwear!
Hey... I saw it-ki!
