You fucking bastard!
- Irie-kun.- Sorry, that's it for today.
I am...running together with Irie-kun.
Like a dream.
I'm saying that,
I'm not opposed to us living in the same house.
That means... you don't,
hate me at all?
You caused trouble for me.
However, I don't hate you.
No way, I disagree with this.
At last Kotoko-chan return back home, and now Naoki is going to leave?
Give it a try.
Thank you very much.
Well, I think I should go now.
Naoki-chan, take good care of yourself, okay?
Eat lots of vegetables too, also...
I got it, I got it.
Bye.
Oh no, he really left.
- Irie moved out?!- Yeah.
He got himself an apartment.Then he's going to work part-time to earnmoney for his rent.
Do you know where he lives now?
I don't know.
How about his work?
What type of job is it?
I don't know either of them.
What?That makes him sounds like a stranger.
Kin-chan?What is this?
It's a celebration.Hasn't Irie moved out?Nothing could be better than this.
It's seem like I've won the match.
Irie finally decided to back off from Kotoko.
Look here, Kin-chan.
Don't you understand Kotoko's feeling?
- What are you still doing here? Go away!- Kotoko, I love you!
I'll help you eat this.
I can't believe that Kin-chan.
But... I think Kin-chan is kinda right about that.
- Satomi!- But Irie is also a man, too.
If he was interested in Kotoko for even just a little, he wouldn't move away from home.
Look at Kin-chan.Everyone wants to be with the person they love.
Just right after he said me that he didn't hate me.
Irie-kun just moved away from home.
Is he trying to avoid me?
What is he thinking about?
Episode 9[Time to Give Up, My Love]
In the end, you still come here spying on him?
Because I can only see him at school.
Ahhh,
Kotoko, you're really stupid!
- That's right, Baka.(Stupid)- Really.
What do you mean 'baka'?- B- A- K- A, Baka.- That's right.
B-A- K- A.
It's baka!- Yeah, baka, baka, baka, baka!.- No, I'm not.
Oh, Are you Irie's...
Hello.
I'm sorry, but Irie already left.He went to work.
Um, Do you know what kind of work does he do?
We asked him the same too, but he didn't tell us.
Irie can sometimes be so secretive.
Sorry about that.
It's okay.
Are they brothers?
- I think they both twins.- Really? Twins?
Let's go, let's go. Let's go, let's go.
Aihara Kotoko!
Ahh, Aihara Kotoko!
These balls also have feelings...If you slack off collecting them,
you can't become like a regular player!
Keep that in mind!!
- You!- Yes!
Are you cold or hot? Make up your mind! Aren't you a member of the tennis club?!
You there!!
There's no way he'll come
I'm sorry, this is all we got.
Mom went out on some urgent business today
Not at all, it's delicious.
Really? Please, eat a lot.
Thank you for the food.
What's wrong, Yuki? You didn't eat much.
I don't have any appetite.
Oh, really? In that case... this happens
Because Naoki left, Yuki's probably lonely, too.
Even though he was cold to me... Even though he said sarcastic things to me
He was always with me.
I feel like the distance between Irie-kun and I keeps growing bigger.

-Kotoko-chan!!! - Yes
Kotoko-chan, Kotoko-chan!
I found it!
What did you find?
What do you mean, 'what did you find?' What else can it be besides Naoki's workplace!
But how?
It's impossible to hide anything from me.
What are you, Mrs. Irie?
The important thing is, will you go,
to spy on Naoki's workplace with me?
I'll go! l want to go too!
Yuki, were you spying on us?
I'm worried about my brother more than Kotoko.
I want to see him, too.
Alright, alright! Now, let the three of us go spy on him!
Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay!
Okay! let's go!
... also, riccota cheese pancake; banana bread; also what's good is
original bran toast.
Low, low fat milk.
Cafe latte, I would like cafe latte with low fat milk.
Uh... yeah? What?
- Shall I?- Please.
Hi, may I take your order?
Hi, I like cafe latte please with the low fat milk.
Would you like anything else?
So cool...
That's my brother, alright.
Young man! Young man, here, please!
Yes?
Oh, um, not you,
but that guy.
Young man!
- Have you decided what you want to eat?- Hmm, not quite...
I know it's you in disguise, Mother.
How did you know?
If I couldn't figure it out, then I'm not sensitive enough.
It's your doing
'cause you wouldn't tell us the address of your new employment.
This is my workplace, so private conversation is prohibited.
For the order, two coffees and one orange juice is good, right?
Good.
Hm?
Bro's gone.
Did he go to the bathroom?
- Excuse me. - Yes.
Where is Irie Naoki?
Irie-kun's left for the day.
He left without even saying a word to us!
In the end, he didn't inform us of his new residence, huh.
Mrs. Irie, let's go back home.
Seeing that Naoki is doing well should be enough.
You're right.
Kotoko-chan, look at that!
"Waitress Wanted"
Mrs. Irie, I'm going to work at this place! Then, I can be at Naoki's side...!
Yes, please do, Kotoko-chan!
Yes!Excuse me!
I'm interested in that!
"Waitress Wanted"
Please come this way.
Boss. Another person is interested in working here part-time.
Oh, I'm sorry... but I've actually given this person the job.
Matsumoto-san!
Wow, what a coincidence, Kotoko-san!
Matsumoto-san, how did you know Irie-kun was working here?
I learned about it . . .
from him.
HIM?!
Mrs. Irie . . .
Kotoko-chan! How was the interview?
It was a bust.
The girl that's together with Irie-kun in The Department of Science and Technology?
She got in.
Could it be . . .
That female
Matsumoto Yuko.
Mrs. Irie, how long have you known...?
I told you, the world's information is my information!
Sure, she's kinda pretty, she has a good body, and her intelligence isn't terrible either,
but she will. Not. Work. She's not Naoki's type, you know.
- Is that so?- Of course.
I'm sure she knows that too. That why she tried to get the job. She's approaching him desperately.
If you say it that way... I too, applied for the same job.
Anyway, you're the best for Naoki.
There's no mistake since, I, who raised him, is telling you this.
Such a woman, drive her away!
Mrs. Irie, the knife...
This? I was cutting a mackerel.
Ah... Mackerel.
Matsumoto Yuko is working in the same place as Naoki Irie?!
Yeah, and what's more, she said Irie-kun himself told her that he worked there.
But why the guys from the science and engineer department said that ?
We asked him too, but he didn't want to tell us.
Irie can be so secretive sometimes.
That's right.
He didn't even tell his family where he worked.
That means that Naoki told Yuko about his job himself!
It doesn't make sense.
When a person changes his life,
there is always something that triggers it.
For example, you started playing tennis because of Irie.
That means, Irie started living alone because of...
Matsumoto Yuko ?
There's no way! Naoki said that he didn't hate me!
Well, we don't know for sure, but... there's a difference between
not hating someone and liking someone. You get me?
Up till now he really didn't like girls, did he? Then that means...
If it wasn't something so big... I don't think he would move out of his comfortable house.
I agree.
What's wrong?
It's unusual that you came to the shop instead of going home.
Well, I was just thinking it's been a while since I've had Dad's food.
You used to come here all the time when you were a kid.
Wow! This looks delicious!
Kotoko...Let's eat together.
- You will eat with me in the back.- But I want to...
No, you can't...
Thanks for the food.
Delicious!
I know.
That this is about Naoki.
Irie-chan said it wasn't because of us but he moved out right after we came back.
It concerned me, too.
It looks like Irie-kun dislikes me more than I first thought.
What are you even talking about?
You are the Kotoko who will try her hardest no matter what.
You can do this. No need to cry if you still can do something about it.
Okay, okay! But I really did come here to have your food.
This is the best!
Thank you for the food!
See ya later, Kotoko.
Yeah! I'll swing by again.
- Boss.- Hm?
Can I ask you something?
What?
Kotoko is having a hard time right now.
She isn't a little girl anymore.
I shouldn't tell her what to do.
Until the moment that she really needs my help
I will be waiting here to protect her.
That's what being a parent is like.
Don't worry about other people. You should become a man to put your parents' minds at ease.
Yes.
Alright, let's do this!
Need some help?
Thank you.
I'll have to wait until his job finishes, won't I?
He's coming!
Okay!
He's... waiting for someone?
No. Way.
- Sorry for keeping you.- Mm.
Ah, I see. You ride this and get home.
That makes sense. It's okay. Let's go.
How long are you gonna be with him?!
Is Irie-kun's apartment near to Matsumoto-san's house?
Did he move out because he wanted to live near to Matsumoto-san?
No, it's near to Tonan University.
It's normal to get a place near school far an easy commute.
What would you like for tonight's dinner?
I wasn't thinking about it.
- Well, how about... beef stroganoff?- Yes.
Really?
They're going to make (beeft est bourgeoise)?
Matsumoto?
Ehhhhhh?! They're living together?!
Good morning...
What's wrong, Kotoko-chan?
Hm?
Nothing's wrong...?
But your face...
Ahh, I didn't really sleep yesterday...
Now you look like a ghost more than an idiot.
My brother hates those kinds of girls.
Thanks for the warning. I guess I'd better be careful.
Huh?
Well. I'll be going.
Kotoko-chan! What about breakfast?
I wonder if she's alright...
Living together?!
They wouldn't go... that far, would they?
But, uh, hey, you know, it could always be a misunderstanding.
Maybe your intuition is wrong.
I waited for three hours.
- T-three hours?!- That... that's a bit much...
Neither Irie-kun nor Matsumoto-san left.
If he was just taking her home, it's too long.
- They are certainly linving together.- Plus, he is living with her family.
Which means her parents have approved of their relationship.
Now it makes sense that Irie was hiding his new address from Oba-san.
A college student leaves his house and goes to live with a woman?
He certainly can't tell that to his mom.
Kotoko... are you okay?
Yeah. I'm fine. I'm fine.
I should confess.
W-what? Kotoko!
Heyyy, Irie! It's been a while, huh?
I felt like working out a little.
Ah, Aihara's not here today. She looked pretty sick.
She is sick.
Her tennis skills haven't gotten any better, but she was so tough.
She never missed a practice until today.
Irie-kun!
Let's practice together!
Sure.
See ya.
Bro!
Hey. How've you been?
Good. But what's wrong?
Nothing much.
Guess I missed people I haven't seen for awhile.
And I wanted to know how thing are to home.
Speaking of which... Kotoko's acting weird.
Kotoko? Why?
Not a clue. But her face was white and she looked really blehhh.
And she didn't even eat.
There is no reaction even when I bully her.
It's no fun. This is exactly like
"Pushing a noren curtain, clamping two tofu's together, hitting nail into rice grain".
Here we go!
There are Chinese, western dishes, and desserts. With this much food, I'm sure you will eat something.
So Kotoko, don't hesitate, just eat as much as you want!
All of this is Kin-chan's treat for us!
Hey, how long are you gonna make that face?If you don't feed yourself,
you won't find a new love.
I know it's been very hard for you. But he's not the only man in this world.
That's right. Look around carefully.
A good looking man is in front of you!
Kin-chan! Don't market yourself now.
Yes, she's right. I went too far, too quickly.Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry...
Kotoko, start with something that you can eat.
Here, here, here.
Thank you.
But I'm really not feeling hungry.
So... eat up.
Kotoko...
Are you okay, Kotoko?
Irie is going to pay for this.
Where are you going, Kin-chan? - Of course to Irie's. I will show him...
Although you only work part-time, you are an employee of the school.
If you hurt a student, you are going to get fired.
You won't be able to stay with Kotoko.
Bite your lip right now and leave Kotoko to us.
Right. That's right. We should eat these. -Let's eat.
- We need some sugar. - Sugar? We need some calcium.
- No, it's sugar - Then let's eat the deserts.
Oh, Kotoko...
Kin-chan went to go get a car.
Doctor, how is Kotoko?
Fatigue and malnourishment. Get her something easy to digest and plenty of rest.
Then she will be okay.
I called her family, so you two can go home now.
Doctor, thank you very much.
Thank you.
She fainted although her condition isn't that severe. She must have suffered some sort of psychological shock.
Psychological shock...
That bastard! We can't forgive him!
Irie Naoki!!
HAA!! HAIYA!!
GRRR!!
RROAR!!
Where's Irie Naoki?
Scram!!
Get away!!
Hey, let's talk!
We want to tell you something.
Who are you?
We went to the same school!
We're from the same hometown, you don't remember that?
I don't remember useless things like that.
YOU-MAKE-ME-FEEL-SICK.
Ah, I remember now. Kotoko's slaves or something...
Jinko-san and Satomi-san.
The Opposite!!
- I'm Jinko!- I'm Satomi!
Whatever.
Look, this is about Kotoko.
Aren't you being horrible?
Lately, it's your fault
that Kotoko is so droopy.
And that's my fault?
You really don't know?! It's because of you living with–
–with her!
Poor thing. Kotoko followed you and Matsumoto-san
she even saw you with her own eyes!
This happened because she was waiting in front of that place for three hours!
With that crappy mood, waiting for you to come out,
Kotoko saw you sneaking into that apartment to live with her... How could you do such a terrible thing?!
Just tell her frankly how you really feel about her.
If you are a man, why don't you tell her directly?
Are you saying that I should tell her directly?
Well, please choose your words carefully.
That's right. Since you've fall in love with someone...
now you understand human feelings a little more?
Well, please don't make Kotoko suffer anymore.
We're not telling you to give up liking Matsumoto-san.
But if there is no hope for Kotoko, I want you to help her give up on you.
We beg you.
Well. We just wanted to tell you that.
Okay, then!
Now I get it...
We're here.
Are you okay, Kotoko?
Yeah.
I'm okay.
Sorry. I know you had work...
Kotoko.
I'm always here.
Kin-chan...
Always, no matter what, I'll be by your side.
I'm here for you.
That's it. Hurry up and get better, okay?
Kin-chan...
I'm sorry.
It's not time for you to apologize.
Eat well and go to sleep early.
You... don't hate me?
You're difficult, but...
I don't hate you.
Hey, how long are you gonna make that face?
If you don't feed yourself, you won't find a new love.
I know it's been hard for you. But he's not the only man in this world.
Kotoko, I'm here for you.
Ugh. What's up with me?
Kotoko-chan, are you alright? Should I drive you?
I'm really fine.
I'll be going, okay?
See you later!
I have to keep myself together.
Everything will be okay.
I can't give people around me anymore trouble.
Alright! Let's go!
Good morning.
Wait.
Come with me for a sec.
How's your new house?
Pretty good. It's spacious.
That kind of luxurious place...
I'm sure it's spacious.
Are you eating well?
There's a buffet and I can cook my own food.
Just as I thought.
Hey.
I think it's wonderful you fell in love.
What are you saying out of the blue?
I've had a one-sided love for you, Irie-kun.
You might have thought I was a nuisance. But because I loved you, I could put all my effort in many things.
If I stayed like how I was before, I couldn't have gotten into this school.
It might be a matter trivial for you,
but I remember that was such a big deal for me.
Can you get to the point?
What I'm saying is...
If you've come to like someone,I'd like to celebrate that, is all.
Well, it would be a lie if I said I wasn't humiliated.
Irie-kun liking Matsumoto-san, and Matsumoto-san feeling the same way,
if that brings you happiness, I'm all for it!
I will even you support!
Na-san![affectionate, yet polite]
Who are you?
Are you... perhaps...
Kotoko Aihara?!
How do you know my name?
I knew it! Because you're exactly as I heard.
You do look dumb and like an idiot.
You're so rude! Who told you that?
Naoki-san and my sister?
'Sis?'
So you're saying... your sister is...?
Yes. Me.
Yuko Matsumoto?!
I'm Matsumoto Aiyako, a senior in high school.
Huh? Haven't you heard of Naoki-san's living situation?
Shall I tell you?
Naoki-san is, you see, is living in our house and - - -
I know that.
I know about them living together. Congrats, Matsumoto-san.
What are you talking about? Naoki-san is tutoring at our house.
What?
Tutoring?!
I also want to go to Tonan University next year.
So Sis introduced us three weeks ago.
Since then, Naoki-san's been tutoring me.
Matsumoto's family pays me good. I get dinner free too.
Beef strogan...Beef stro...
Huh?
How do you know that?-Beef stroganoff!
What's wrong? Why are you crying? Are you okay?
She's kind of a strange girl...
Anyway, Naoki-san, Yuko, can you start showing me the schoo?
I was looking forward to coming here today.
So it's only that.
So, your approval on Matsumoto-san and me
and support us ?
No, no, no, no! Now I'm strongly opposed, I completely object, I absolutely disapprove–
Be quiet.
I moved out to be alone, why would I live with someone?
See you later. Kotoko.
YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Matsumoto! Matsumoto! Matsumoto!
Oh, you guys!There is a racket!
Where is Matsumoto Yuko? Where did she go?
I was wrong,Irie-kun and Matsumoto-san weren't living together.
What ? Are they living together?That Irie, I won't forgive him!
Oh, Sudo-san!
It's not like. Irie-kun is inattached!Until now and from now on,
he's unattached!
So you should be happy too, Sudo-san.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.However, good for you. Congrats!
But why did Matsumoto-san say that Irie-kun told her about his part-time job?
Huh?
I'm the one who told Matsumoto about Irie's part-time job.
I'm the one who introduced Irie to the restaurant..
Huh? Does that mean Matsumoto-san lied to me?
Does that mean Matsumoto-san lied to me?
How did you know that Irie-kun is working here?
The guy told me.
I see! I see! Sudo-senpai, you are a man, too.
So it was actually you!
Are you really okay?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Everything is just fine and dandy! I'm starving, please treat me to some eats!
Why? Why do I have to treat you?
Can you treat me for once?
We can't, I'm dirt broke!
She went into a store that had many hats...
After all, I mistook that they were living together.
I'm really glad that it was a mistake.
But, why did Irie-kun start living alone?
Well, it's okay!
I see, it's okay.
We are leaving!
Are you sure it will be okay with just two of you?
We will okay. It's only for one night.
- What's wrong? -Yuki, hold on!
He needs to have surgery.
I'll find Irie and bring him to you.
Maybe Matsumoto-san know something.
We will get there no matter what.
The least you should have done is, tell your family how to reach you.
This time I gave you trouble.
Where is Kotoko-chan?
Could it be that she is at Naoki's apartment?
Do you want to take a shower?
At a time like this, stop thinking something like that!
