Good evening everybody.
How have you been spending these long autumn nights?
We,
the 3 of us,
are Ijyuuin.
At least, that is the name we're using as real estate agents.
The name's Ijyuuin.
Yup. Ijyuuin.
Well then, should we start off with a prediction on who will become the KING?
Sounds great.
That's right!
Last time Miss Asako suddenly quit her job as an office lady!
Her first step to becoming an idol. The autograph session started off a little chilly though, didn't it.
It sure must have been tough on her manager Shibata.
Asa-chan!
I made it.
Yaho~!
I'm sorry!
Tweet~
Mr. Rock!
Please shake my hand!
It was so touching...
I guess that would make Asako close to becoming King?
Forgetting about Moriji?
Hmm?
Finished~!
It's started.
A lawn?
Love, I tell you!
What? You don't need things like love.
That's foul play.
Are you sure he didn't do this just to touch her?
If somebody did that for me, I would almost definitely fall in love with them.
See you.
This is just like Getsuku! It's Getsuku!
(Getsuku was a popular drama.)
I guess today we'll start from where our drama turns into Getsuku.
No we won't.
That's not right at all.
I'm not wrong~!
[Meta_Intrans] Presents
- Are you serious? - Nabe again?
Of course we wouldn't be eating nabe in the mornings.
Here you go~ Cheese fondue.
You don't usually eat cheese fondue in the mornings either, right?
Wait... Where's Asa-chan this morning?
When you're talking about the mornings, you think of Asa-chan right?
(The Kanji for Asa-chan's name happens to be the same as the kanji for morning. "朝")
I'm pretty sure shes been busy as an idol.
It's better off to be busy I think.
But she did used to make toast for me in the mornings...
Now that you say that, Hibiki-chan is missing too.
She did seem a little flustered the other day.
Think she's been sleeping it off?
Mr. Rock! Would you like to join us for breakfast?
This will do for now.
That can't be...
The banana diet? Maybe I'm wrong.
He's eating too much!
Here we are~
This side is the chocolate fondue,
and here we have some barnyacauda fondue.
- Alright. - Thanks!
Mr. Rock, come over here! Wouldn't you like some nabe?
Well then, let's eat.
Let's eat!
You're starting with the chocolate?
Why shouldn't I?
Man do I want some ketchup!
It may be just what I think but,
isn't there still one room open?
It's a little ominous, isn't it.
Don't you think somebody might be in there?
The other day I when I woke up early,
as soon as I stepped out of my room I thought I might have heard a thud.
What?! That's scary...
Couldn't it have just been Mr. Rock?
I'm almost positive I heard the thud come from behind that door!
You're joking!
I'm serious! It was really early in the morning!
I'm telling you it was Mr. Rock.
Shh!
You can't hear anything...
Sorry...
I thought I heard something moving.
I've got it. As sort of a morning-event of sorts, why doesn't somebody try opening up that door?
I won't be happy just barging in there on our own...
On top of that, we don't know what kind of person might be living inside.
What if it was somebody really huge and frightening?
Damn that eyebrows fellow. Why can't he tell us what kind of people are living with us?
Eyebrows fellow?
Hmm? Ijyuuin.
- The real estate agent, right. - That's right.
His chest was completely bare, and he had a great sense of style.
What? For me it was a white-haired old gentleman. He had a cigar in his mouth.
A cigar?
I don't think he smoked a cigar...
The Ijyuuin I met was a middle-aged man.
What a terrible explanation.
I had him too.
He ate them all!
Do you think it's possible that there could be more than one Ijyuuin?
Thanks for the meal.
If you'd like, this is a flier for the movie my company produced. Come see it.
- I'm off! - See you~
"A Whale, A Tuna, An Octopus?"
He's not fit for it.
"A Whale, A Tuna, An Octopus"
I wonder who will be the first customer to come and buy your flowers, Mori-kun?
I wonder...
I'm sure she'll be beautiful. Just like you, Ms. Shinohara.
Flattery won't get you anywhere.
Welcome.
Here you go. Stand strong!
Yes!
Welcom...e...
Do you have any flowers that would be suitable for an offering to Buddha?
(Referring to the small statues of Buddha, often found on the sides of roads or near mountains.)
For Buddha?
I always stop by the super-market to buy chrysanthemums but,
today the store is closed for some reason.
I'd like to visit a grave, but without flowers...
Let's put it in. We'll put whatever you want in!
Isn't it more fun to always change it up and put in whatever you feel like?
We'll put whatever you like in!
Here.
My~ Isn't that amazing.
Where's the chrysanthemum?
If you always use a chrysanthemum, you might get tired of it.
What is your favorite flower?
I like tulips.
Oba-Q.
(A famous character from a comic book series. Short for Obake No Q Tarou."
What a funky bouquet for a Buddhist altar!
I'm sure he'll be very happy.
That's great.
Can you see it? It even has 3 hairs.
I see it! What a lively bouquet~
I'm so happy.
Crap, I did it again.
Oh no. You did have a cold.
Are you staying home from work today?
It's tough, so I'm taking the day off.
I'll go tomorrow.
Ah, alright. Feel better!
What?
Why don't you make me a nice bouquet too! I'm sick of chrysanthemums!
Make a cute one for me!
By any chance...
Of course! We saw the bouquet you made for Chizuko, it was beautiful!
Mine is for the Buddha~
- Mine is for the family grave! - Me too!
I'd like one for the Buddha!
Hold on, hold on.
- How many for Buddha? - Me!
- For the grave? - Me!
3 for Buddha, and 2 for family graves.
Somehow our customers seem to have changed...
It's you!
I heard you had quite a few people come to your autograph session?
No... That is...
Everybody seemed frantic and...
We even had a movie producer come, didn't we.
Mr. Hosono, you're a great person.
I heard the Akiba-fans came flooding in at the end.
(Referring to Akihabara, an electronics district in Tokyo full of Otaku-like people.)
Mr. Rock and his off-line group...
You really make them fly, don't you Mr. Shibata!
I believe we're ready for a television show.
What are you saying!
The girl you've been keeping your eye on is on her way to a huge break!
Are you serious?
Great for you. I'm sure your office friends are happy for you, aren't they?
- Hostage sure was annoying today. - Wasn't she!
I'd like her to become a hostage just one more time.
Have you already lost them?
Hmm?
Your friends from when you were an office lady.
I guess I was just kind of forced out.
Don't worry. We're still your friends!
Mr. Shibata~
What a great film!
I have fun no matter what the movie, don't I...
- Excuse me. - Ah, I'm sorry.
Thank you very much.
Even if you're the only one having fun...
I guess he can't take a look around.
Crap, crap. I did it again! I'm late again...
Riba, you did a great job.
The actress seemed very happy as well.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Riba?
Mr. Majima...
Maji Max! Long time no see.
A job popped up all of a sudden, so I asked Riba for some help.
Hmm.
See you around.
- Ok. - See you.
What's the meaning of this?
I thought I might be able to do it on my own.
What?
I had gotten pretty good acting as your double so...
Rather than be a double, I thought I'd give it a shot on my own.
If you wanted to work on your own, why didn't you just tell me?
If I would've said that, would you have let me go?
Would you have acknowledged my talent?
Well then, excuse me.
I see how it is.
What?
I'm going to be on TV?!
It's on "Huge News Scoop," great job!
"A Huge-Hit With The Older Generation. A 25 Year-Old, Making Bouquets Without Chrysanthemums?"
All I did was just throw something together...
Let's do it. Might as well, right?
I wonder what they'll ask about?
You look so excited!
"The Weekly Entertainment Master," was it?
Even if they aren't famous yet, Mr. Ogura takes people who are on the rise to introduce for the show.
I'm so nervous!
Wait just a minute. If I go on TV as a representative for this shop, are you sure that our image will be ok?
Image?
Older people... might start flooding in.
I'll talk it over with the owner and come to a conclusion.
Sounds good.
One more shot pelase.
Your conclusions are too fast! It's the very next day....
Alright, that will do.
Great work.
We're going to check things over real quick, and then it will be time for the real thing.
Do your best~!!
Ok...
Hmm? You're in pajamas too?
Yup.
It seems like I'm not fit to be a stylist.
Me neither.
Why not? You're a head doctor, aren't you?
That's got nothing to do with it.
As for you, you're a top stylist, aren't you?
I guess I hit a slump.
Me too.
Are you changing clothes? How many days have you been in those pajamas?
I'm heading into the morning of the 3rd day since I've skipped work so...
Comment? I have to make a comment on something up there?
That's right, you'll play the role of our commentator.
Exactly what type of job is a flower creator?
Um... You are in charge of arranging the flowers in a flashy way.
Is that so?
Ok!
- Excuse me... - Yes?
What exactly should I talk about?
Things like the Aso Cabinet and such,
(Referring to Japan's Prime Minister Taro Aso)
or the economic anxiety caused by the Riemann Shock.
- Riemen? - The Riemann brothers.
They sure are an interesting combination, aren't they.
What?!
All finished!
Thank you.
Miss Asada, you're up.
Alright.
Thank you very much!
What do you think, Mr. Mori?
Why is Moriji on TV?!
- Moriji? - Moriji?!
Why is he on TV?
When did he become a commentator?
Come on Moriji, spit it out!
All he can say is "Ahh..."
Do NOT upload to streaming sites!!!
FREE Drama downloads at D-Addicts.
Found it!
Moriji~
He already left...
Somebody you know?
Ah... Yeah, I guess.
Just somebody you know? Or...
My friend.
(They start speaking in an older fashion, much like that of a samurai drama.)
Idols are forbidden from falling in love, Princess.
I am aware of this.
Son from the King speaking. The water flow has been troublesome so...
Ah well, I'm heading over there now.
Who was in charge of recruiting Mr. Son?
What? It certainly wasn't me.
It wasn't me, either.
Which means!
Hello. What is it?
Yeah, I'm on my way back. Ah, it's already 9~
Please come back as soon as possible!
Kenichi Son is on his way here right now!
Mr. Son huh. What?! Mr. Son?!
Are you alright?
Yes. Welcome, welcome.
Isn't your heart pounding a little hard?
Well, yes it is.
If that's the case, you should drink some green juice.
Ah~ Green juice, huh.
Green juice..? At any rate, what can I help you with today?
Something seems a little strange.
Hmm?
The water flow.
Wh... What do you mean?
There must be something, isn't there?
There's nothing, nothing.
The water at the King won't come out.
- Oh! The water at the King! - Yes.
Now I get it.
I'll call for someone to check on it right away.
Hello. Ah, Miss Kazue.
Yes, I'm talking with him right now.
You're close-by?
I need to use the restroom, be right back.
That's correct, it's right next to the bakery. Right.
By Miss Kazue he means...
I recruited her!
Do you see it now?
I made it.
I told you I'd be alright.
But I came anyway.
What were we talking about again.
The problems with the water?
Ah, that's right. He sure is taking his time.
He just said he had to use the restroom.
Maybe it's #2?
Would you like to go grab some cake?
Is something other than nabe ok?
Cake is just fine.
Well then, let's go.
After you.
I think my life span just shrank a little.
This is getting to be too much. Let's just tell them.
They can't help it if they're all wrapped up in this mystery.
Aren't you late.
Huh?
Did we have some sort of promise?
We didn't. I just wanted to see you.
You don't change at all, do you Jirou-kun.
Even though you're on your way to becoming famous.
He was on "Huge News Scoop" this morning!
I saw it.
You did a pretty good job.
It should finally be my turn coming..
That's right! I've got 2 things I wanted to ask.
First off, would you like to open a flower shop in Ginza?
Ginza?!
The "City of Adults," Ginza!!
And the other. This isn't a request from me, but rather from the French Embassy.
At their next party, they'd like you to put on a flower demonstration.
The French Embassy...
It's amazing! The times have really chosen you.
I'm telling you, that can't be. I'm really not that type of person.
Moriji, don't worry.
- I'll be your chaperon for the party. - I don't need you.
The flower shop in Ginza isn't a rush but,
the request from the Embassy is being handled by the ambassador's wife.
You can even have the 2 girls from your flower shop as assistants.
You're welcome to use me as well.
Miss Shinohara isn't an assistant. I really respect her.
She's a person that makes bouquets that echo from the heart.
You sure do seem devoted to this Miss Shinohara.
I wonder if she's still around.
Mori-kun! You surprised me.
You're still touching it! I'm happy.
It feels great on your hands.
- Um... - Yes?
Miss Shinohara, why did you want to run a flower shop?
Because... I like flowers.
Hmm~
Ever since I was a child, I enjoyed talking with plants more than people.
You can talk to plants?
It's kind of one-sided...
- I feel like I understand. - Hmm?
I don't talk to them but... Actually, I've never tried before but,
when you talk about that one-sided feeling, I have experience with that!
We're the same type.
I wonder?
If it were a human, what kind of person do you like?
What?
Well, I know you like flowers but... What about people?
What kind of person, huh?
Like somebody you like?
Huh?
Somebody I like...
There is somebody.
He's working as a successful stylist, and orders flowers often.
Recently his job hasn't been going well for him so I've been worried.
Stylist?
Do you know Yohei Majima?
People call him Maji Max.
It was always a one-sided love I guess, but he was the first person who really understood my affection.
So I guess it isn't one-sided anymore.
Sorry, I don't know why I'm telling you these things.
Oh? You forget something?
Do you mind if I have a drink before I head home?
What happened?
Did you hear something interesting?
- I'm not telling you. - That's alright, you don't have to.
So, what would you like?
Ouch! My nose..
Why are you falling over drunk?
That a bad thing?
Are you telling me I can't drink?!
I'm so lonely... Ever since Riba left me...
He was always together with me.
It's probably true that I said mean things to him but...
I was just showing my love in my own way!
That hurts, let me go!
How can I keep going all alone?! Huh?
Don't say that you're alone!
Moriji~
Moriji!
Moriji!!!
Am I that bad of a person? Huh?
Does he.. Does he really hate me that much?
Why are you the one crying?
I'm the one who wants to cry.
Go ahead, you can cry.
Let's cry together.
You have somebody important, don't you?
Huh?
Miss Shinohara.
You're dating, aren't you?
From your part-time job, right?
It's complicated.
What do you mean?
Don't you like her?
I said it's complicated.
What are you saying?
What do you mean!!
What do you mean, "What do you mean!?"
- What do you mean!! - What do you mean?!
Miss Shinohara even has a one-sided love with her flowers!
You won over those flowers, Majima-san!
I feel sick.
Damnit!
What's so great about a stylist?!
What's so great about charisma? Don't joke around.
Ouch.
I get it.
That's how you felt, huh.
Here.
Drink up.
Finish it up!
I feel so sick...
Whaa!
I was sleeping together with Mr. Rock?!
What the heck?
Wonder how he got in there...
Even Mr. Hosono?
He's flying.
Ahh!! This is bad.. I can't remember anything!
She shut herself in?
Miss Hibiki hasn't been to the hospital at all recently.
There's no way a head doctor would not go to work.
- We think she might be scared. - Scared?
Killer! I'll curse you!
That is scary.
What? These are to Miss Hibiki?!
Can't you convince her to come back to work?
Even if you ask me to... I'm terrible at those kind of things!
Would you like to come inside?
- Do you mind? - It's fine, it's fine. Go ahead.
- Excuse me. - Go ahead.
Ah, he let them in. Even though we told him no.
He's disturbing the system, isn't he.
Miss Hibiki~
Don't be scared, please open the door.
- Miss Hibiki! - Miss Hibiki!
If that's your only method of persuasion, she certainly won't feel like coming out.
He can't possibly be in the mood to sing again?
I, Kenichi Son, will put my heart into this song.
Please listen, "Love Will Triumph."
I'm sorry about that.
No, thank you for trying. See you.
I guess my song choice wasn't right for the moment.
No, I don't think it has anything to do with that.
I'm heading out too.
Hmm? Riding horses?
Yup. I'm going to learn a new recipe for today.
See you~
I keep sliding down...
It's harder to go back every day.
I can't take it!
Ah, Yoshi? It's been a while.
Yeah, I've been doing fine.
Do you have any jobs for me?
Sorry, nothing right now.
Ah, I see. Business been slow lately?
That's not really the case, sorry.
I see. Who has been getting the work lately?
Sorry, it's difficult for me to say.
Ah, sorry. Talk to you later.
I'm through.
Using organic vegetables from Saitou-san's place, make a warm salad!
You're still thinking of the sauce!
What is this?! Disgusting!
Bring me the chef. Hurry!
What's going on?
It's our regular Kyoto-style noodle dish but...
You're calling that Kyoto-style?
It's disgusting! Try it yourself!!
It's the normal flavor. This isn't your fault.
What are you saying?
That food is terrible! Give me back my money, you jerk!
What? Who do you think you are?
What are you doing?
Bring me the salt!
You can't treat me like this!
Don't go melting on me, you slug.
I'll remember this!
Just as I'd expect from you, honey!
I think I fell in love again.
Akan, I'm weak to those sort of comments.
Now I'm discouraged.
I'm going home.
Of all the things that have happened so far, this is my limit! I'm going!
Wait right there.
The time for the three of us to go has come.
Ijyuuin Fight!
What?
What's going on?
Please leave me in peace for a while. Majima.
Terrible handwriting.
The inventor is shut in.
Mr. Rock, you realize that now?
Even Miss Hibiki?
Absolutely do not open. If you do, I'll kill you.
Creepy.
The same as the person on my right. Son.
Didn't he just go to ride horses earlier?
I'm shut in here! Fujishiro.
What could have happened to a house-wife?
Mr. Hosono! Mr. Hosono! Welcome home~
Look at this! When I got home, all the rooms were...
Don't disturb.
Why you too?
Everybody's locking themselves in.
Asa-chan!! Will you stay out of your room for me?
Huh?
Look.
What's going on?! When did this happen?
Is shutting yourself in usually this contagious?
We've got a key, what's the point of ringing the doorbell?
But if we don't ring it just in case, it'll just be like "We're here!"
My, aren't your slippers fashionable Mr. Ijyuuin.
Thank you. I took the time to design them myself.
I should have known.
One, two. Down we go.
- Ah! - It is you!
I'm sorry about last time.
Isn't that the guy Maji Max was talking about?
That's correct.
I was in charge of scouting Maji Max, Mrs. Fujishiro, and Mr. Takakusaki.
What was the last thing you just said?
(The last syllable of the sentence he just said.)
Ta!
No, the part right before that.
Mm.
Maji Max and Mrs. Fujishiro and...
Sora Takakusaki.
Could that be the final door?
The 9th person living here..
Mr. Moriji, please go wake everybody up.
We have something urgent to tell everybody.
It's Mr. Ijyuuin. All of them.
What?
Ah~ There were 3 of them!
My computer is busted and I need to work on it.
If you've got something to say, make it quick!
I also want to go back to my room because I'm sick.
Me too... In these clothes...
- You shut yourself in too, Miss Kazue? - Yes.
This is everybody, right? Please get on with it.
I just got around to shutting myself in.
It's not quite everybody.
Is the 9th person a boy or girl?
Men's.
Huh?
Me? I'm going?
Are you serious...
It's not like it's locked or anything.
Open it with some force! One fell swoop.
I'm coming in~
There was...
What the hell is this!!
Sorry, sorry. I was just painting a picture on the back of the door with these organic dyes.
Ah! I think I swallowed a little bit of it. Am I alright?
- You're fine. - Phew!
However, it probably would have been better if you hadn't.
Ah, let's go wash it!
Um....
We have an urgent announcement to make.
2 weeks from today the judging will commence.
Judging?
Whomever we judge to be the King out of you all,
will inherit the entire King Mansion.
What?!
What do you mean, "the entire?"
All 9 rooms of it.
Which means...
Unfortunately, for the other 8 of you,
Unfortunately!
we will have you leave the King as soon as possible.
What?!
Leave?
As soon as possible?
As soon as possible.
