I told you. I left my parent's place to find my future dream.
This would be a fresh start.
That's what I thought anyways.
Good for you.
We're not thinking about the future at all.
What?
Is that right?
We all just go through the motions at university.
Especially him.
Ichitaka. Come here.
Get in.
Look through the hole. Look.
Teddy bear panties.
You've really lucked out this time.
You've got a young hottie for a neighbour.
Idiots.
Any girl who wears those is ugly.
By the way, where is Iori?
-She has a press conference. -For the play she's in?
You're not going?
I don't need to.
I don't want to see that.
Seto. Are you feeling inferior to Iori?
If you worry about status...
you'll never be able to date a celebrity.
If you don't change your mindset, this relationship will never work.
Inferiority?
Iori?
Of course not.
Sorry.
-Excuse me. -Yes?
I am your neighbour, Aso.
Oh.
"I"s"
"Episode 11, Aiko"
I am Aiko Aso. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
-Umm... -Yes?
Nevermind. Excuse me.
What's the matter?
Well...
Could I borrow your phone?
What?
Sure.
I lost my key. I need to call the landlord.
I'm sorry.
Just wait a minute.
Here.
This is the landlord's number.
Thank you.
But I actually had the number.
I'm sorry.
My number book is in my room.
Here.
She's a bit ditzy. No. Quite ditzy.
It's no good. She's not answering.
She is an older lady. She may be asleep.
What should I do?
I guess you need to retrace your steps.
I already did that.
I walked around for six hours.
Hello?
I'm so sorry.
Hello?
Who was that?
Huh? Iori!
Nami. She was helping me move.
That wasn't her voice.
I'm telling you, it was her.
Something seems off.
Whatever. Have you finished moving?
Well. Not yet.
I'll help you search.
What?
Did you take it out while you were walking back?
I don't think so.
-Here? -Yes.
Welcome.
It hasn't come up yet, has it?
Not yet.
Can I look around one more time?
Go ahead.
What did you buy?
Tissues and cotton.
It'd be over there then.
It's nowhere.
Yeah...
Listen.
What about that bag?
I already looked in here.
Just try one more time.
Fine.
It was here.
Good thing you found it.
Yes. Thank you for all your help.
You really do like teddy bears.
How do you know that?
You have a bear keychain.
Your panties also had bears on them.
How do you know that?
I just... Uh...
There was just a hole in the wall.
This living alone seems to have grim prospects.
Yesterday, a press conference was held for Kiruto...
a new play by the producer Isai Kaminogi.
Much attention was paid to a fresh actress appearing in commercials.
Iori Yoshizuki.
I am Iori Yoshizuki, playing the part of Kasumi.
-Her hair. -It is an honour...
not only to appear in this work by the brilliant Mr Isai...
but to play the crucial role...
of Kasumi.
She completely seems like a celebrity.
She has really drifted away from me.
I will do my best on this work.
Coming.
Umm...
Hello.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
If there is a hole in the wall, anyone would look through it.
No.
Well, maybe.
That is all. I'm really sorry.
You should make a spare key.
In case you lose yours like you did yesterday.
That's right.
Do you know a shop that does that?
I was actually going to make one too. Do you want to go together?
Aso. Here.
What? No way.
Here it is.
Okay.
I see. This type. It might be tough.
Just kidding. I'll have it done soon. Please wait inside.
-Okay. -Okay.
What an odd old man.
Right. He just started telling odd jokes.
I didn't understand.
Thank you for today.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
Yes.
Well then.
Where should I choose?
What are you doing?
Hiding my spare key.
Great. Perfect.
Can I ask one thing?
What is it?
-I saw you hide it. -It's a secret.
I could be a thief.
Are you really a thief?
-No. It's not that. -Then no problem.
I'm sorry for everything, really.
I'll pay you back some time.
No need for that.
-I will. -Don't worry about that.
Doing well?
What? Yoshizuki?
No way.
-Hello. -Hello.
-She is my neighbour. -I'm Aso.
Seto is always helping me out.
Nice to meet you.
Not always. We just met yesterday.
Nice to meet you too.
You don't need to worry.
What?
I'll make sure no strange insects attach themselves to him.
Sorry. That was a weird thing to say.
Excuse me.
Living alone, huh?
How nice. I want to do it too.
You really surprised me when you just showed up.
You didn't even call.
I was going to tell you yesterday.
But you suddenly hung up.
The girl who answered your phone was really that girl, right?
Yes.
What happened was...
she lost her key. It was really an emergency situation.
That's it.
Umm.
Hey. You cut your hair, didn't you?
Did you just notice that now?
It's cute.
Really? I'm glad.
I really like it too.
It's really good.
Although it seems you prefer shoulder length hair.
Hey. Why are you angry at me?
There's nothing going on.
You should have just explained that then.
You lied about Nami answering the phone.
Those lies lead to cheating.
Just kidding. I just wanted to tease you a bit.
I trust you.
Right?
How is the play going?
Well, it is really difficult, but...
It is fulfilling.
I've been getting more compliments recently.
The rehearsals are fun.
Wow. That's great.
-Well then. -What?
-Are you going home? -Yes.
It's been a while since we were together. Why don't you stay?
You just want sex.
A bit.
Can I use the bath?
Of course!
I guess I have to.
Great! I can finally do it with Iori!
What was that?
I don't know.
-Let me go check. -What?
Hey! Are you okay?
-Help me! -What is it?
A cockroach!
I guess I'll be going then. Bye bye.
Please! Wait! Yoshizuki!
Please!
I already apologised.
I know.
Can we meet tonight?
What?
We've never had a proper date since we started dating.
No one will notice you at night.
I'm sorry. I can't tonight.
Another time.
I'll be waiting.
At 7:00 p.m. At the usual fountain.
Seto.
I have other plans.
I really can't go.
Plans? With who?
Mr Isai.
I see. A big date with your hero.
It isn't like that.
He's giving me advice.
Advice?
Can't I just give you advice?
Please understand how I feel.
I want to see you too.
Do you really?
Dead battery.
What are you doing to me?
I just called to tell her about my new rice cooker.
As we talked, I wanted to see her.
But she couldn't meet me, so I got angry.
I am really no good.
Yes?
Coming.
Hello.
I made too much kinpira gobo.
Please have some.
No way. Thank you.
If it's bad, feel free to throw it out.
I won't.
Bye.
Hey.
Do you want a cup of tea?
Are you hitting on me?
So you still haven't made up.
No.
What can I do? This is all my fault.
It's not. You have nothing to do with this.
How can I explain this?
There is a more root problem.
I hope you feel better.
Thank you.
I am jealous that you can actually fight in person.
Long distance relationships can be very lonely.
I see.
She has a boyfriend.
You don't seem too lonely.
Well, I am dating someone I really like.
I do get lonely, but I am happy.
Same for you, right?
Although, we aren't the same.
We've never even gone on a date.
What? Why?
We started dating right before I moved to Tokyo.
We haven't seen one another since then.
Seto. You said seven o'clock, right?
-You need to hurry! -What?
She said that she wouldn't come.
But you said that you would be waiting.
She will definitely go there!
I'm not so sure about that.
She will!
Really?
-Hello? -Hello.
It's me.
Listen. Where are you now?
What?
Yoshizuki. You don't mean...
Wait for me! I'll be right there!
See? I told you.
You need to properly apologise to her.
Right.
Yoshizuki!
I didn't think you would come.
You said you wouldn't.
Yes.
I mean, I'm sorry.
I didn't think you would cancel your plans.
We just don't fit well.
I lied to you before.
I said acting was fulfilling.
I said the play was fun. That's all a lie.
What?
I was going to meet with Mr Isai today...
to ask for his advice on acting.
I've been so unhappy that I am thinking of quitting the play.
Quitting?
It was your dream, wasn't it?
I won't quit. Considering the situation, I can't quit.
You're probably disgusted with me, but...
I did my best.
Your calls always motivated me to keep going.
What? My calls?
But I really just want to act.
It is sort of depressing.
Don't get greedy.
These jobs helped you get a part in the play, right?
You're right.
Iori sent me a sign.
But I just ignored that and pushed her away.
Of course she wouldn't ask for my advice.
I am really no good.
I relied on you too much in the wrong ways.
I was oddly cold to you.
I took advantage of your kindness and didn't try to meet more.
I wouldn't blame you for hating me.
What?
I don't want to hurt you anymore.
Wait a minute.
We should break up.
Why do you want to break up?
Do you not like me anymore?
I'm sorry.
This was all my fault.
I'm so sorry.
I could never dislike you.
I could never be disgusted by you.
I never once thought that.
I absolutely do not want to...
break up.
Please don't talk like that.
I'm glad that you don't hate me.
Iori is still really busy.
We have almost no time to meet.
However, since that day, she would find time during work to call.
I am sure that we will be okay.
We were able to confirm our feelings for one another that night.
This is bad.
What? Who?
Why?
Izumi!
Seto! Long time no see!
Don't just say that!
What are you doing here?
It was open.
No. That's not what I mean.
Don't worry.
I won't ask you to date me anymore.
If I can't be your girlfriend, friends with benefits will do.
Idiot. What are you saying?
I was just joking.
You reacted just like I expected.
You are as cute as always.
I brought this game for us to play.
I played with my friends before. It was a lot of fun!
Twister?
This is the prototypical sexy game masked as healthy fun.
No. No. No.
You can't play this with two people.
Absolutely not.
-Go home. Go home. Go home. -I don't want to!
Just go.
Sorry I'm late.
-It took you too long, Teratani! -Sorry. Sorry.
Should we get started?
This is going to be so much fun!
I have a really bad feeling about this.
You fought for women.
People tend to believe that women are submissive and innocent beings.
That is a Mt Everest sized lie!
Women are greedy, vicious...
lying, gluttonous creatures.
Yes. Women are alive!
That isn't it. Do it again.
Yes.
What is that?
We need some sort of punishment for the loser.
The loser picks one number...
and has to follow the command.
That's the same as your King Game.
Izumi. He's sick. He'll make you strip down.
How thrilling!
Right, Seto. What is teddy bear girl like?
Teddy bear?
-Well. -Teddy bear?
I don't understand. Teddy bear?
Hey! What are you doing?
What?
You're peeping.
I'm sorry!
Is that a peephole?
So that's what you like. How gross.
That's not it. Let me explain.
If you want to peep, you can peep at me any time.
Well? Do you want to?
-No. No. -Come on. Peep!
-Come on! Come on! -No. That's not it.
Come in.
You have never played a fun game like this in your life.
I brought our special guest.
Hello.
Okay. Izumi. Right hand red.
Okay!
I can't believe you are making me pose like this.
Please give up.
-Quick. Quick. -Okay. Ichitaka.
Left hand red.
Okay. This is tough.
Good luck Seto.
I can't!
But everyone is watching us!
No. No.
Okay, Ichitaka. Time for your punishment!
What number?
-Eighteen. -Okay. Eighteen.
-Butt spelling! -Yay!
-What should we do? -Decide.
-Fuwarin. -Great!
Fuwarin. Go!
Go ahead!
Three, two, one!
Fu.
Wa.
Ri.
N.
Very good!
I wish you were a little more into it though.
Shut up.
Is there something on my face?
Doesn't Aiko look like Iori?
Right, Seto?
What? You think?
Now that Iori is in another world, you can go for your neighbour.
What are you saying? That's rude to Aso.
Who is Iori?
Do you know that juice commercial with the line Fuwarin?
I do.
That is his girlfriend.
What? No way!
That's amazing!
Shake my hand.
Amazing.
What that the girl from before?
-Amazing! -So you've already met her?
Yes.
It must be tough to date a famous person.
I'll come console you whenever you are feeling down.
I don't need you to.
It will tough to beat a neighbour for a mistress though.
I am not anyone's rival.
Even if I liked Seto. Right?
You like your girlfriend's heart more than her face, right?
That is why Seto would never cheat.
There is something touching about her worldview.
She is so pure and innocent.
Okay!
Enough chatting. It's time to restart the game.
I'll strip you down next time.
Izumi! Let's play!
This guy's heart is clearly the color of mud.
Okay. Strip. Strip.
Will you really accept this?
Are you no better than cattle?
How can you be so cruel?
You are just one of them.
Me?
I'm different. I am definitely different!
Enough. Step back.
We can go again.
It's a waste of time. Practice this again and come back.
-Matsumoto. Switch. -Yes.
-Suzuki. -Yes.
Action.
Will you accept Kiruto as is?
Will you continue to service here?
Izumi.
Left leg red.
Okay.
Next.
Aso. Left hand yellow.
I can't!
Aiko. It's your first punishment.
Okay. What number?
Let's see.
-How about number one? -One!
This is...
the golden card.
I can't wait.
You shouldn't be excited for this.
I will announce your punishment...
You need to...
play in your underwear!
I can't do that.
That's not allowed!
I took off my clothes. No exceptions!
Teratani! Enough of this.
Right. Sorry.
Um... I'm sorry.
She ran away.
I'll be right back.
Isn't Seto in love with Aiko?
I thought the same thing.
He was always extra thoughtful with her.
Seto?
Did you come to bring me over?
Underwear is too embarrassing, but is my bathing suit okay?
I'll go ask.
-It's so cold. -Wait a minute.
Everyone thinks you got angry and left.
You should just let the game end like this.
Is it really okay?
He is taking a long time.
-It's all your fault. -What?
Get dressed and then come back.
Okay.
You are really kind.
Iori.
You shouldn't worry about that. Cheer up.
-Here. -Thank you.
If you want to talk to someone, I can listen.
Iori?
This is bad.
The number you called...
is not in a service area.
Seriously?
Sorry.
Aso?
I really just wanted to be with you.
Seto.
Please warm me up.
Aso. This is bad.
This is bad.
Iori?
Cheating isn't allowed.
Iori!
Iori? I'm so sorry about yesterday.
Too bad. Not her. It's Furukawa.
Hello.
I know this is sudden, but...
don't you want to see how she rehearses?
What?
Here?
Hello.
Come with me.
There is a lot of press in the building today.
Don't get too close to her.
Fine. I understand.
-This way. -Just as I thought!
Just as I thought! Nikaido!
I knew it was you!
You are GD!
I appear from the bathroom and you say it was me.
I naturally respond and say that it was me.
While I wear the mask of the leader of the resistance...
I am actually GD himself.
That's right. I am the Great Daddy!
Don't use cocky lines!
How could you even lie that you wanted to save Kiruto?
How could you say that?
Just like this. And I...
only tell the truth.
In the spotlight, she was like a completely different person.
This is like...
Right.
The mornings at high school.
It is like when I watched her in acting class.
At that time, she was so alive.
She seemed so distant from me.
Even now, that is how she seems to me.
Let's go.
Enough of you!
I shall not live and let live!
Here.
What did you want to talk about?
That's right.
There is no point to beating around the bush.
I'll tell you directly.
I want you to break up.
What?
This is my first time working...
with Mr Isai Kaminogi.
I want to express his thoughts clearly to the audience.
