A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
FUJI TELEVISION & NETFLIX PRESENT
-Good evening. -Good evening.
Terrace House is a show about six strangers living together,
and we observe how they interact.
All that we've prepared is a beautiful home and automobiles.
-There is no script at all. -Yes.
Last episode, Ryo and Emika went on a date to see a baseball game.
I have to consider when is best to begin job-searching.
So I'm currently wandering like a blind sheep.
That's a pun, because we're having lamb.
-It looked like lots of fun. -We heard that great jingisukan pun.
"Wandering like a blind sheep" because of the jingisukan.
It was a play on the mutton they were eating.
It was a dad joke about lamb.
-She almost let out a "bah" afterward. -She held back.
It appears we have another love triangle.
-Haruka is assertively pursuing Peppe. -She's playing offense.
Ever since their date.
She said she finally had someone to talk to. How delusional.
-She's felt that way the whole time, huh? -Such endurance.
Her sole mission has been to find someone to talk to about Pokémon GO.
You were planning to come?
-Can I explain? -Should I not go?
I thought about it, and I think I'll be too busy.
-So I wouldn't have time to hang out. -I see.
I'll try some other time, then.
So ultimately,
she invited him, he made time for it, and then she asked him not to come.
He seemed confused, like, "Well, I guess I'll try some other time."
He said they could do dinner again.
He must be thinking, "Wait, did I ask her to invite me?"
-Right. -Anyone would be confused by that.
Then, out of nowhere, Kaori decided she was leaving.
I've rented a flat in London.
-So I'll be leaving the house tomorrow. -What? Really?
What did she come here to do, anyway?
It was all for her art.
So you're saying she came here for the sole purpose of
-showcasing her art on a popular TV show. -Don't say it like that.
The chemistry between our first housemates wasn't strong this season.
You're right. Most of them were passive personalities.
Yet they were all so harsh to Ruka at one point.
-They were. -Well, he is immature.
Some people think they eased off because they received backlash for it online.
Like clockwork, they all stopped picking on Ruka...
I went back to look at previous episodes. They all stopped at once.
I've just been wondering why.
Anyway, it's useless to talk about people who have left.
-I'm home. -Welcome home, Peppe.
-Peppe, welcome home. -What's up?
-Peppe. -What's going on?
Would you like some pasta?
No, I'm okay.
What, you're cooking?
-Well... -I'll have one bite.
Okay.
Great, have a seat.
-You'll cook for me? -Yeah.
I need some water.
Has someone else left the house, by any chance?
No one has left. Everyone is still here.
-Kaori's here? And Haruka? Emika? -Yeah. She's here. Her, too.
-Well, Emika hasn't made it home yet. -Oh, okay.
-Ryo is on his way home, right? -Ryo is...
-Ryo is still at his retreat. -Okay.
I'm nervous every day now.
I understand why you'd feel that way.
He's home.
-Sorry I'm late. -Welcome home.
Work ran later than I thought it would.
No worries.
-Don't look in the pot yet. -Okay.
-How is everyone? -I'm good.
But I have to tell you that I'm leaving tomorrow.
What?
-No way... -I'm sorry.
I knew it. Ruka was being so weird.
-Sorry. I didn't say anything. -You didn't say it, but...
I'm heading to London in October.
-Really? -I'll only be there for six months.
Are you in touch with your favorite artist there?
Yeah. I was able to contact them, and I'll meet them over there.
I'm happy to hear that. That's so great.
-Yeah, I'm really excited for it. -Congrats.
Would you like to have drinks tonight?
Tonight, I'm going to... enjoy Ruka's homemade pasta.
That's why Ruka is cooking pasta.
-There are fried tofu... -Hmm?
There are fried tofu in the pot of water.
-Does it look good? -Yeah.
-It's tarako flavored. -Oh, yeah?
I feel special.
-Thank you for waiting. -Thanks for cooking.
It looks great. It has tofu in it.
Hey, that looks delicious.
-Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.
Would you like some?
-No, I'm good-- -Peppe, could you try just one bite?
Okay, I'll try it.
It's good.
-How is it? -It tastes good.
Yeah, delicious. It's good.
-Is the tofu your personal dish? Nice. -Yeah.
I hope you remember this dish.
I will.
-Yeah, it's tarako. -Yeah.
-It's good. -Thank you.
-You've improved. -Thank you.
He said you've improved!
Thanks so much.
What's been your fondest memory from the past five months?
I liked coming home to a house full of my friends.
Yeah?
I really appreciated people being here when I got home.
You'll have to remember to take out the trash from now on.
-Roger that. -Sounds good.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
-Morning. -Good morning.
I'm glad I caught you this morning.
It is pretty early.
I'm so glad.
ENJOY YOUR LAST MOMENTS WITH THE ORIGINAL CAST -GHOST PEPPE
I think I'll sit in my favorite spot one last time.
This is it.
Here we are.
I guess I'll be on my way.
-Have a great time. -I will.
-Best of luck with everything. -Thank you. You, too.
I should write a message
to Ryo and Emika.
Well...
RYO, EMIKA, WELCOME HOME. I'M HEADING OUT. SEE YOU LATER. -KAORI
I'll be on my way now.
Thank you.
-Okay. -I'll see you soon.
-Good luck with everything. -Likewise.
-I'm off. -See you soon.
-Bye. -See you.
-I'm sad. -Me, too.
KINSHICHO, TOKYO
-Excuse me. -Thank you for having me!
-Ouch. -Get up!
I have an announcement.
I'm moving into Terrace House.
-What? -Do you know the show?
Of course we do!
You're supposed to fall in love
-with the other housemates, right? -Yeah, that's the one!
-Can you handle it? -I'm not sure.
I totally act like a virgin, so who knows?
Will you know how to be in a relationship?
-I hope you gain valuable life experience. -Me, too.
I think you'll find love.
Well, I can't say for sure...
What if I find a boyfriend at Terrace House?
No way, I don't want to be left behind!
That's great news.
-I'm excited for you. -I think I might be dreaming.

-Does it feel lonely? -Yes, it does.
I'm super bummed.
-Did you see the chalk board? -I did.
It was the first thing I saw when I got home.
Kaori's back?
-Huh? -You think she came back?
It might be her.
-Yes? -Hello.
-I'm the new housemate. -Oh, okay.
-Please come on in. -Thank you.
Oh, God...
-Hello. -Hi!
-Hello. -Hi, there.
-Nice to meet you. -Likewise.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Hana Kimura.
-Pleasure to make your acquaintance. -Same here.
-You can leave your luggage right there. -Okay.
-Wow, your suitcase is huge. -No kidding.
Excuse me. Thanks for having me.
Please have this. Thank you for your warm welcome.
-Thank you. -Please enjoy.
-Thank you so much! -We may not be able to eat it all.
-Wow. -No way.
-Japanese sweets? -Yay.
-Thank you so much! -Where should I put this?
-Look at your braids. That's so cool. -Yeah.
-This part is synthetic hair. -Oh, I see.
-Um... may I ask where you're from? -I'm Italian.
-Whoa, I'm nervous-- -What's your background?
My father is from Indonesia and my mother is Japanese. I'm mixed.
-You're half Japanese? -Yes.
So do you speak Indonesian as well?
-Not at all. -You don't? I see.
-I only know a few words. -How old are you?
I'm currently 21, turning 22 this year.
Are you a dancer?
People ask me that often...
HANA KIMURA, 21 PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER
-...but I'm a professional wrestler. -A wrestler?
-Yes, in the women's league. -So cool.
-Yes. -No way. Wow.
Wow, I've never met a pro wrestler in person.
Really? Is wrestling popular in Italy?
You don't see much of it.
But the WWE from America was popular back home.
That's always been huge.
-I was a fan, too. -Really?
Come to think of it, I'm currently working on a manga,
and for chapter five...
It's published as a weekly series.
But in chapter five, I'm planning on introducing a wrestler.
So the other day, I drew a scene in a wrestling ring.
Wow, no way.
-I'll show you later. -Later, then.
-I look forward to it. -I'm really curious about it.
I have many questions for you.
-There's so much to learn. -Please come to a match sometime.
I'd love to see one. I'll be there.
-Have you ever seen a wrestling match? -I have.
-You have? -Yeah, I've even seen a death match.
Were you able to sit through it?
It was difficult to watch, for sure.
-Have you never seen one? -No.
They'll do things like
take a cracked fluorescent light bulb and torture their opponents with it.
-Wow, you're a wrestler. -Yep.
How long have you been doing that?
I debuted at 18 and have been fighting since.
I'm in my fourth year.
My mother is also a professional wrestler.
-Is that right? Cool. -That's right,
so I grew up watching her matches.
She encouraged me to try for as long as I can remember,
but I never wanted to.
When I started to consider career paths after high school,
my mother said to me,
"Do you really see yourself working at a typical office job?
I can't see you doing anything but wrestling."
I agreed, and began wrestling.
But I've really enjoyed it ever since.
I love doing it.
Do you have shows every week?
-Or "matches," I guess? -I do two matches a week on average.
-You do that many? -Yes, mostly on weekends.
Where do those happen? Do you travel for them?
We perform at the Korakuen Hall.
-Yesterday, I was in Sendai. -I see.
I go everywhere.
Do you have phots of you blood-soaked during a match?
-Hmm, maybe. -I want to see those.
How weird is it for me to show you this
so soon after meeting? This is what I look like.
This is not that gruesome.
-I'd say that's pretty cute. -You think that's cute?
-Looks like a great shot to me. -I was barely conscious.
I can tell you seem loopy.
I was preparing myself for a photo with more gore.
-You were? -This is cute. It just looks like
-your makeup is running. -No, I look crazy.
Why did you decide to come to Terrace House?
Up until now, I've mostly focused on wrestling,
ever since I started at 18 and even before then.
I've gotten to the point where I'm on a wrestling team called Stardom.
Because of that, I'm surrounded by women all day.
There aren't really any opportunities to meet someone
and fall in love in my day-to-day.
So I've come here to experience a beautiful romance.
Got it. Nice.
-I'm glad you think so. -Have you ever dated another wrestler?
-No. -No?
So...
Before I started wrestling,
there was a person I dated... the first person I've ever dated.
When I told that person that I planned to start wrestling,
-he was against the idea. -No way.
He wasn't open-minded about it.
-That's a bummer. -Yeah, so...
I couldn't handle that and broke up with him.
I haven't met a love interest since then.
-I get it. You're super busy. -I'm on board with your goal.
-My search for a beautiful romance? -Yes, I want that, too.
-Let's find them together. -Yes, let's.
DOING A PHOTOSHOOT FOR SUNDAY GOLF -HARUKA
-Would you like to see the house? -Good idea.
-I'll help you with your luggage. -That's okay.
-You got it? -Yes.
-Are you sure? -Yeah, I'm sure I'm stronger than you.
Well, but...
You'll need to prove yourself, Ruka.
-Our room is right ahead. -Okay.
This feels like you're giving me the house tour.
-This is so cute! -She's super unique.
Yes, she's interesting.
I'd never met a professional wrestler. This is awesome.
Yeah, it's great to have her.
I'd never guess based on her personality that she does wrestling.
She acts like the average girl.
Yeah.
WENT TO DRAW THINGS LIKE THIS, BUT WITH MORE DETAIL -PEPPE
Yay, this looks yummy.
That looks great.
-It looks silky. -Right?
-This looks delicious. -Sweet.
Thank you for cooking.
-How is it? -It's good.
-It is? -Yeah. Yummy.
-Tastes great. -I'm so glad.
I'd be embarrassed if I messed up on your first night here.
Are there any specific experiences you'd like to have at Terrace House?
-I want to go on many dates. -Yeah?
-You'll work for that "beautiful romance"? -Yeah.
-I want to head someplace in a yukata. -That's lovely.
I didn't get a chance to wear one this year.
There's still time left for that.
-I want to visit an aquarium. -Nice.
And a zoo.
And an amusement park.
And I want to host a picnic.
Thank you for the meal.
It was delicious.
I want a little bit more.
There's some leftover rice in the fridge if you need more.
Yeah, I know. But...
Actually, there'd be a weird amount left after I take some.
-How much? -I don't want this much.
-Maybe I'll eat the rest. -You want it?
-Can you finish it? -Let me see.
That's a lot.
-I just want this much. -Okay.
Hold on.
Will you hold this spoon? Thanks.
-I'll put curry on this. -Wait, let me add more rice.
-There's one more serving of curry left. -Yeah.
Do either of you currently have any crushes?
Do you have a crush?
Why are you smirking like that?
No, I don't have a crush.
What's with the smirking?
-It's because Emika was smirking. -Was I?
Thanks for the meal.
-My stomach is sticking out. -I'll do the dishes.
-Thank you. -Yeah.
Take a break.
-Thanks so much. -No worries.
Have you been on any dates?
I think I've gone out with everyone. I had dinner with Ruka, and...
After going on those dates, who are you the most interested in?
Which date was the most fun?
I guess when I went to the beach with Peppe.
I haven't even met the last housemate.
-That's true. -What kind of person is he?
-I would say... -So, he's a basketball player?
Do you want to see his face?
He'll be back the day after tomorrow.
-You could google him, too. -Do you have any pics of him facing away?
He has a beard?
-He does. -Cool goatee!
He does have a goatee.
-How tall is he? About 6 feet? -How tall?
-He's a few inches shorter than 6 feet. -Is he a good athlete?
Yeah, he plays on a professional team.
I want to see him play. He must be so cool.
What's your first impression...
of Ruka?
He has a pretty face. He's a pretty boy.
Is he only 19?
-No. -He's 20?
He's a year younger than us. So that makes him 21.
-Okay. When is your birthday? -February 1st.
-When is yours? -In September.
-Wait, really? -Yeah, September.
-When in September? -The 3rd.
What? Hold on.
So it'll be...
in two hours.
What? Oh, no.
We need to get a cake.
We should throw a party.
But you treated me to delicious curry, so I'm happy.
-I'm home. -Welcome home.
-Hello. -Good evening.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you, too.
-I'm Hana Kimura, the new housemate. -I'm Haruka.
-Great to meet you. -You as well.
Your hair is really unique.
-It does make a statement. -What do you do?
-I'm a pro wrestler in the women's league. -You're a wrestler? Wow.
-You're so beautiful. -Please, don't mention it.
So there's only one last housemate that I haven't met.
-Is he talkative? -He is, kind of the jovial athlete type.
-Oh, really? Interesting. -You two might have lots to talk about.
-He carries himself like an athlete. -I see.
He's very industrious.
-What does that even mean? -Well, he's a good communicator.
Yeah, he's talkative and just really...
industrious. I don't know.
He has a go-getter attitude.
-Got it. -He's always willing to pitch in and help.
-I'm really excited to meet him. -Yeah, he has good energy.
I can't wait to meet him.
-All right... -Interesting. She's so cute!
-Hana, right? -Yes, Hana.
What a cutie.
-She has a great personality. -You're right.
She grew up in a regimented world, so she's very well-mannered.
Athletes all seem to be
-polite and well-mannered. -Right?
We don't know yet. She could be acting this way out of shyness.
-Because it's the first day? -Exactly.
-You think she's nervous? -Do you really think so?
-I think that's who she is. -Well, you never know.
Remember how different she was in the ring?
Isn't it common for a person who does that kind of physical work
to actually have a very feminine personality?
I see. She did name many typical date scenarios.
-Exactly. -I get it.
Plus, she's been surrounded by women all her life.
So even seeing the way Emika and Ruka
were interacting with each other in the kitchen
made her think they might like each other.
-How cute. -She's so pure.
Also, Kaori left the house.
After having one last bowl of pasta.
Yes, the fried tofu and tarako pasta.
That looked a bit morbid, but the curry seemed delicious.
-The pasta seemed morbid? -I would say so.
Well, it was shocking that once again
he decided to cook the tofu in the boiling pot of pasta.
But what's more is that he used a premade sauce for the pasta,
and then asked Kaori to remember that dish.
-It was very Ruka. -That's right.
She could have that flavor at any time.
-She could just buy that packet. -It's made in a factory.
I have high hopes that Hana will shake things up for us.
-I wonder what her type is. -Me, too.
She seems really excited about Ryo, since he's also an athlete and very tall.
-She was excited about the goatee. -Right.
She was so excited.
I hope she and Ryo literally tackle the issue of cleanliness in the house.
I want them to tag team and knock out Haruka till she cleans the house.
-That's dangerous. She would perish. -Do a head drop.
Maybe into the pool.
-Yeah, with a big splash. -That's a good idea.
I think she'll clean regularly. The house will be clean.
When she was in the bottom rung on her team,
they must've put her on dishwashing duty all the time.
I can't believe they let her take care of all the dishes.
-That caught my attention, too. -Me three.
I was like, "Didn't you eat, too?"
Emika seems to be aware enough to lend a hand.
I agree there.
Ryo will be home soon as well.
That's right. We get to see them meet.
-I love Ryo. -The only housemate with no demerits yet.
ANOTHER DAY... -PEPPE
-Today is Hana's birthday. -That's right. What should we do?
I'm going to pick up a cake.
-This morning. Yeah. -Really? What should we cook?
Good question. Ryo will be here tomorrow too, so...
-We could also wait till tomorrow. -Yeah.
He'll be home soon.
Yeah.
What are you grinning about? What's up?
Hmm? Emika is here.
I'm here?
-Good morning. -Morning.
-Good morning.
-What is that, again?
Hello Kitty?
No, not Hello Kitty.
It's Kuromi-chan.
It's the Hello Kitty version of Kuromi?
It's the My Melody version.
Oh, My Melody. Got it.
I slept so hard.
-I thought I might never wake up. -All I saw
was your pink hair spilling out from your bed.
We were talking about going to see Hana in a wrestling match.
-When? -I'd love for you to come.
-Sunday. -Sunday?
I think I'm free.
Then let's go with the eighth.
That sounds great.
-It's in Shinkiba? -Right.
What are your future goals?
Right now, my focus is to gain good results in the singles' league.
I'd like to challenge the reigning champion for the belt.
Becoming the champion of the singles' league
is my biggest goal right now.
Later down the road,
I'd like to be able to headline events in much larger venues.
That would be amazing.
ODAWARA, KANAGAWA
ODAWARA ARENA
YOKOHAMA B-CORSAIRS OPEN PRACTICE
Our open practice session will now begin.
All right, let's go.
Go team. One, two, three.
Let's go, man.
Game.
LOCKER ROOM
I'm so tired.
When was the last time you slept in a hotel by yourself, Ryo?
TSUBASA OBARA, 25 POWER FORWARD
SHUSUKE IKUHARA, 25 POINT GUARD
-It's been a while. -Crazy.
-How was your date at Tokyo Dome? -Oh, yeah, how was it?
You went, right?
We did. We saw a baseball game.
-That's already happened? -I went to see a baseball game
-on a date with a housemate. -Really?
-After that... We ate jingisukan. -You had dinner?
-I had so much fun. -Nice.
And the other two ladies? Have you hung out with them?
You haven't had the chance yet?
-I want to, though. -Oh, yeah?
He's interested.
I'm hoping to ask them out when I get home.
For real?
You can't really know a person until you've hung out one-on-one.
-With each one of them. -Yeah.
I'm going to laugh if you end up burning him.
Don't say that! I'm being really careful.
How could I burn this beautiful face?
-We have ointment for that. You'd be fine. -I have some, too.
-Wait. Don't move your head. -But you're pulling my hair.
-Try not to move your head. -It's looking good.
This might be your look.
-Hello. -Tanti auguri...
-a te! -What?
It's tanti auguri time. It's your birthday, right?
-Yeah. Thank you! -Happy birthday.
-I got it started. Happy birthday. -Thanks so much! Yay.
-Big congrats. -Thank you.
Whoa, look at Ruka's hair.
-Isn't it cute? You're the inspiration. -Yeah.
Huh?
Tanti auguri...
Happy Birthday...
Oh, my God!
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday!
Yay! No way!
-Congrats! -Thank you so much.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANA!
-Yay! -Wow, thank you!
Thank you so much.
-Happy birthday. -Ah, I'm so happy!
Welcome to Terrace House.
Wow, this is so great.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
-Your sleeve! -Oh, sorry.
-Delicious. -What is this? Wine?
It's sparkling wine. It's a sweet one.
It's a classic for birthdays.
I didn't think I would be celebrated,
-so this makes me so happy. -Great to hear.
What was everyone up to today?
-I hung out with some friends. -Oh, yeah?
-I had a photoshoot. -You did?
For a photobook.
You're publishing a photobook?
My team, Stardom, publishes them quite often.
You pose in your fighting costumes?
-Yeah, we took costume photos, too. -Okay.
I brought it with me today.
-Your costume? -I want to see it.
-Do you? -Yeah, totally.
-Okay... -You'll grab it for us?
-Yeah. -Feel free to put it on.
What? You want me to wear it?
-I wouldn't mind if you put it on. -For real?
-There she goes. -Don't you want to?
I was going to ask the same thing, but I held back.
-Wow, look at that! -Whoa.
-Wow. -Cool.
Oh, God, this is embarrassing.
-Wow, no way. So cool. -That's amazing.
-You look badass. -You're like a superhero.
-She is a superhero. -Totally.
-You're a superhero. -Wow.
It's very revealing.
-No kidding. -It's so tight.
You can fight in that?
Can you make it look like you destroyed me?
-Thanks. -That's a fun photo.
-This is what I fight in. -Please send me that.
Wow.
Do you have many matches this month?
That's right. Peppe, are you free... on the eighth? What's your day like?
-Ruka said he could make it. -Yeah.
-The three of you are confirmed? -Where is it at?
-In Shinkiba. -I think I can make it.
-Really? -Most likely.
-Yay! -Wait, I'm not certain yet.
-Okay, I'll be praying. -No, wait...
Let me see. If work goes well, then I can make it.
-I'll do my best. -Please work hard and--
I would love to be there.
-There's only eight minutes left. -Oh, no!
You get to request something from us. Anything you want.
-I get to make a demand? -That's right.
-Seven minutes left. -Okay, tell me...
who here currently has a crush.
Raise your hand.
Should we all close our eyes?
-That's a good idea-- -Wait, wait. Hold on.
All right, close your eyes. You have to do it.
-Close your eyes. You, too, Peppe. -Three, two, one, go.
What? Okay, got it. That's it.
-Okay. I see. -Did anyone raise theirs?
Well, I can't tell you that.
-There were some hands up. -What?
-What? Um... -Why are you getting nervous?
-It's twelve o'clock. -Goodbye, birthday.
Thank you so much.
-Congratulations. -I had so much fun.
-I'm sleepy. Is it bedtime? -Yeah.
Has everyone been to the roof?
Do you want to see it?
-I'm curious. -Isn't it raining?
-Maybe it stopped. -It was earlier.
-I just want to see it. -Yeah?
I'll be your tour guide.
I'd like... to spend some time with Peppe.
You're busy tomorrow, too, right?
I still have work to do
-tonight, too. -I see...
Can I borrow you for just a few moments?
Is that what you'd like?
I won't have many chances to chat with him.
Let's do it.
-I just want to see it. -Yeah, no problem.
-These seats are all wet. -What about this one?
-Do you want to share the chair? -Shall we try it?
You go over there. We can split it.
Is there enough space? Let's see...
-It might be dangerous. -We can make it work.
-Okay, okay. -You have more space over here.
-All right, we got this. -Success.
So... um...
I'll keep this a secret.
When I asked that question earlier, only you raised your hand.
-Really? -Yeah.
-What's your crush like? -What's she like?
-What does she look like? -What does she look like?
Well, she's a human.
She's a human, but of the feminine variety. Yeah.
Is this a recent crush?
-I would say so. -Is she younger than you?
Yep.
Okay.
-I'm curious. -You're very forward.
-That's cool. I like that. -I have no subtlety.
Don't worry. I think that's a great quality.
Unlike typical Japanese people.
But I have garnered some hate for that in the past.
I find myself in similar situations, too.
-Really? -Because I'm foreign,
sometimes I don't pick up on context clues and I say too much.
Your honesty is refreshing.
-Aw, really? Yay. -Yeah.
It's nice.
I'm going to try really hard to make it for Sunday.
I'll be praying for that.
-Thanks, I'll do my best. Time to work. -Yeah.
SHIMOKITAZAWA, TOKYO
Hello?
-Hello. -Oh, hi.
Did everything look okay with the color samples from yesterday?
It looked perfect. Everyone I showed it to was impressed.
I'm glad to hear that.
Your style of drawing is really in line with our brand,
-and it's receiving great reviews. -Thank you. That's awesome.
Great job.
How is the search for assistants going?
I saw applications from two people.
Actually, that's all that we've received.
How many days did you need covered?
-Three, I think. -Three days per week?
-Yes, that would be perfect. -Okay.
Well, you'll have vacation around New Year's,
so let's see what we can do in the meantime.
I'll do my best.
I'm hoping it'll all work out.
AND ANOTHER DAY... -PEPPE
I'm home.
Oh, hey! You surprised me.
-You're cooking dinner? -Welcome home. Yes, I just started.
-Have you eaten? -No, not yet.
Can I have some?
Sure. My way of saying thank you for the curry.
Can I help?
-Hmm... Okay. -What can I do?
Can you chop...
-This meat? -...into chunks, about this big?
Got it.
You're paying so much attention to detail with the meat.
I'm confident it'll turn out delicious because of that.
It's too hot.
So, Ruka... what do you think of Emika?
What do I think of her?
Do you like her? Are you just friends?
-We're just friends. -Really? Okay.
I thought you might be dating.
-Do we seem that close? -Honestly, yeah.
I think it's 'cause we're close in age.
Once the egg is cooked, it'll be ready.
Okay.
Thank you for cooking with me.
-Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.
Nice.
-How is it? -Yummy.
Does it need more flavor?
-No. -Maybe I should've used more soy sauce.
-You can add some if you want. I won't-- -You worry too much.
-It's really good. -I'm home.
-Welcome home! -Welcome home.
-I thought you'd be later. -No way.
-Have you had dinner? -Yes, I have.
-Oh, you have? -You cooked?
We did!
There's plenty left, so feel free to have some in the morning.
-Help yourself. -Hana cooked?
Yeah. Well, we cooked together.
But she did most of the work.
I'm home.
-Good evening. -Whoa.
-Long time, no see. -Hey, Ryo.
Look at the chalkboard.
RYO, EMIKA, WELCOME HOME. I'M HEADING OUT. SEE YOU LATER. -KAORI
Kaori?
-Wow. For real? -Yeah.
-Nice to meet you. I'm Ryo Tawatari. -Nice to meet you.
-I'm Hana Kimura. -Hi.
-Great to meet you. -Great to meet you.
Whoa, for real? When did she leave?
Kaori left... When was it?
-The day before yesterday? -I think so.
Man, I'm bummed.
-And-- -But we have a new person now.
Really, though, I've only lived here for four days myself.
-I've barely been here. -Okay.
Yeah.
-Wow, for real? -I'm shocked.
Yeah, I thought you might feel that way.
Wow, I'm bummed.
What are you up to on Sunday?
It's Sunday, right?
-Yeah. -This coming Sunday?
-We're all going to watch a match. -On the eighth.
Whoa.
I forget... Do I have a game?
Not yours, hers.
A match? What do you do?
We haven't told him yet.
-What do you think it is? -Can I guess?
Wrestling?
Close. I'm a professional wrestler.
Wow. Could you put him in a headlock?
Good one.
-You want to see that? -I haven't practiced on anyone yet.
-You haven't practiced? -Not with the housemates.
Wait, wait, wait...
Why would you show him that?
I just met him. Please stop.
I don't hate it.
-Doesn't she look so cool? -I'm embarrassed.
-This happened three days in? -Maybe the second day.
-Her second day here. -Only two days in?
-Yes, yesterday. I'm so embarrassed. -What an introduction.
This definitely leaves an impression.
I'm embarrassed.
-Why? It's great. -I just met you.
-You look mature in this photo, too. -Really?
-Do you practice every day? -Well...
-a few times a week. -A few times?
Yeah.
Wait, don't...
Do you have a day job, too?
No.
-Wrestling is your profession? -Yes.
I have two matches every week on average.
Then I practice two to three times a week.
-And I have two days off. -You do two matches every week?
Yes.
-Are you busy on the eighth? -The eighth?
I'm not busy at all on the eighth.
-Really? -It's my day off.
-For real? -Hope you don't mind that I cheer loudly.
-I would love that. -You might not invite me again.
How was your gig with Dyson?
-How do you know about that? -It says right there.
GOING TO MY GIG WITH DYSON -HARUKA
-Did you vacuum? -It was a hair show
-for their beauty products. -Aren't their shows amazing?
-It was extravagant? -Yeah. Well--
That's why I thought you looked especially cute today.
Well, wait. They only worked on this portion of my hair.
Don't give half-hearted compliments.
-Are you off tomorrow? -Yeah, who else is free?
No one else is off when I'm off.
-Your whole day is free? -Yeah.
I'm working at 6:00 p.m.
I'll be leaving around noon.
-For practice? -Yes.
I don't have to leave until around lunchtime.
-Tomorrow? -Yeah. Should we go somewhere?
-Let's do it. -Lunch?
-But you... -Well, so...
-What time should we leave? -Around 11:00 a.m...
We could try to do brunch.
-11:00 a.m.? -That'd be great.
-Yeah. -Okay.
Anyone want to go grocery shopping?
-Right now? -No one wants to, huh?
-I'll go. -Me, too.
I'm supposed to do zucchini face masks with Peppe today.
Zucchini face masks?
-Can I join? -You want to?
-Have a good time. -See you.
See you.
I want some tea.
-Here we go. -How cute!
She fell for him.
-She likes him. -She's head over heels.
-Love at first sight. -She couldn't stop smiling.
-So cute! -Freaking cute.
-You don't do that once you grow up. -Right?
If you like someone,
-you just kind of play it off. -Yeah, you act like it's nothing.
-That's so true. -How embarrassing.
-So embarrassing. -I do that, too.
-It's second nature by now. -Right?
-It's good to be honest like that. -Absolutely.
-It's good to be straightforward. -Exactly.
Anyone could see how she felt about him.
The gall of Haruka to ask him out in that atmosphere...
-What nerve. -Hana's new to the house,
so they should've invited her out, too.
-It'd be nice to extend the invitation. -You're right.
Or offer that Hana go instead.
-How unhospitable. -I know.
-She didn't even notice. -If they're doing brunch,
Hana could've joined them for that.
-Why didn't they ask? -So true.
Hana is bringing a bright energy
-that we really needed in the house. -Right? So cute.
It's great for us how inquisitive she is.
Peppe also learned that that hasn't always worked in her favor.
But because he's foreign,
I feel like it's okay for him not to pick up on all context clues.
Plus, too many people hold back their opinions far too often.
Then Ruka starts grinning every time he sees Emika.
-He does. -He can't stop grinning.
Maybe he's curious about her.
If I were in my early twenties living with such a sensual person, of course...
Rain showers, all day. In his pants.
-Rain showers, all day, indeed. -What a poetic way to put that.
They were curling his hair. He's practically their pet.
I don't think romance could come out of that dynamic.
Yeah, he feels too much like a younger brother.
At that rate, they'll start poking at his crotch and chiding him.
-I can see that happening. -It's an erotic--
It's the plot of every hentai manga.
They'd mock him, like, "Wow, look."
"It stretches so much."
-Is Ryo always like that? -Yeah. What did you think?
-Well, I-- -I was watching your expression,
and it seemed to me that you were sparkling with excitement.
For real. I saw it.
-Really? -Absolutely.
He made my heart race.
Also, he makes such direct eye contact.
-I've noticed that, too. -He stares into your soul!
I couldn't handle it. How could I?
I had to keep looking away.
-Isn't he so hot? -Yeah, he's really cool.
-I like how game he is to have fun. -You like his vibe?
Yeah. He's easygoing,
-but equally energetic. -He's interesting, right?
I was too nervous and couldn't really think of anything to say.
-You couldn't? -I just kept grinning.
He's so hot. He's so freaking hot.
You should ask him out to dinner sometime.
-I can't handle that. -Or maybe work out with him.
I can't.
I'm kicking myself for not having makeup on tonight.
-I regret that. -No one knew when he was arriving.
But I think that Ryo is interested in Haruka from the looks of it.
-You think so? -I don't know...
Haruka is just so beautiful.
Anyone would go for her.
But he said he'd be there on Sunday.
-Oh, no, what should I do? -Does it make you nervous?
I can't do it.
I can't...
