[bunniefuu]

Do you understand?

Your happiness is built
on my unhappiness, Haruhi!

Yua, work hard, starting from next week.

I don't mean anything to them.

I just want to disappear.

You can always talk to me.

Um, Kaede?

No need to be shy.

Okay…

MOE MAYA
SAVINGS ACCOUNT BALANCE: 90,167 YEN

What? It's less than I thought.

NEW MESSAGE

TODAY IS HOODIE DAY.
THIS IS WHAT I'M WEARING.

Hoodie day?

Maybe I should go today.

But I don't have money,
and it'll be a while until I get my pay.

MOM: HOW ARE YOU DOING? DAD IS WORRIED.
ARE YOU COMING HOME THIS SUMMER?

I can pay her back
after I get paid next month.

Kaede, Table C ordered champagne,
so join them.

Okay.

Moe, I'm sorry that
Kaede can't come to your table.

It's not your fault, Nanase.

Actually, there's this rather naughty girl
who keeps asking for Kaede.

She doesn't want him to go
to the other tables,

so she orders some champagne
to get him back.

Oh, I see.

Does that mean…

he'll come back
if I also order some champagne?

It does, but…

Can I get the menu?

Dom Pérignon Platinum, 800,000.

Richard, 3,000,000!

Bonne Qualité, 17,000.

If it's the cheapest one…

I'll send you a bit more than usual.

It's what I earned from my part-time job.
Don't tell Dad, okay?

Thanks, Mom.

Sorry, but not today.

I see.

Sorry.

No problem at all.

Moe…

I'm sorry that
I couldn't be with you at all.

I'm sorry too that I couldn't order
some champagne.

You don't have to, Moe.

I don't want you to do such a thing.

YUA

That's what happened. I was shocked.

And the other day…

That's great.

Kaede doesn't force you to
order champagne, unlike Harupi.

What?

Moe, don't be so naive.

You should take a look at
the bulletin board.

I'm heading for work.

KABUKI-CHO, MAJESDY-10

THIS PLACE IS ABOUT MAJESDY'S HOT TOPICS.
LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR MEN!

How's your job going?
You're coming back to Tokyo today, right?

You'll be coming to the club, right?

-His pretty little princess!
-Yes!

Give us a message!

-3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1!
-3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1!

My man is capable of being nice
to even a middle-aged woman.

He seemed good at his job.

Don't leave your socks inside out.

Yay.

-Yay!
-Yay!

What was that about?

How annoying…

I meant what I said.

Excuse me,
but it's the last call for orders.

That girl who also requested you.
What will she order?

I don't know…

but if you order something expensive,

I'll be able to sing
the last song next to you.

Then add a white Dom Pérignon to my tab.

Thanks, Yua.

Her last order is the white Dom Pérignon,

but you don't need to
push yourself, Sanae.

What? Then I'll order
the Dom Pérignon too.

The white one?

The rose one.

Thanks, Sanae.

On the night when I wandered around

You reached your hand to me

You're my white cat

What a liar! There's no way
this is happening! I hope they both die.

-Okay, calm down now.
-You're annoying!

I can't be honest

No way, are you leaving?
Wait, what should I do? What? Hold on.

Yua…

You're such a liar.

"You're my white cat"? How gross.

I had no choice.

I can't stop her when she wants to order.

I'm a host.

That's your favorite excuse
whenever things get inconvenient.

How annoying. I should cut you off.

-There you go again…
-What?

I got it.

I'll come over after work.
Let's talk then.

You never keep your promises.
Leave me alone.

It's crucial to suppress
the presence of officials.

First of all…

"The stingy big Buddha came."

WHO?

"She's the stingy one who asks for Kaede."

"The fat one"?

"The one wearing Asian-patterned threads"?

Me?

DOES KAEDE SLEEP WITH GIRLS?
I WANT SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T.

Sleep with?

"He becomes physical
with those who pay a lot."

Thanks.

Even super spicy food doesn't affect him.

-If a car hits him, he breaks his bones.
-Nanase…

I'll order the Bonne Qualité.

Got it!

I can't believe you ordered champagne.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. It's the cheapest one.

The price doesn't matter.

Thank you, Moe.

Sure.

Hey…

Yes?

Did the girl who you were with
come the other day too?

Well, this is her first time.

What? Her first time?

You're the only girl who asked
for me today, so we can enjoy our time.

Oh, really?

Then the champagne was pointless.

Moe, you chose
the unlimited time course today.

Can you stay until the end?

What?

Why don't we grab a meal afterwards?

Of course, I can.

KABUKI-CHO, MAJESDY-15

Sorry, thank you for waiting.

What? Did you change?

Yeah, the suit makes me look like a host.

But that's what you are.

I know…

but I didn't want to embarrass you.

I won't be embarrassed.

You're not that kind of person to me.

Thank you for saying that.

Let's go.

What do you want?

Well… how about some pasta?

Sounds good.

The tomato cream pasta looks good,
but the risotto looks good too.

Let's order both. I can help you finish.

Sure.

Do you like the tomato cream pasta?

I love it.

It's so good.

Really? That's a relief.

Do you want the risotto too?

Sure!

Don't force yourself.

Thanks. I'm glad we ordered both.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Of course. Take care.

Thanks.

Call me when you get home.

I will.

Use this.

You don't have to.

Driver, please.

No one has ever treated me
like a woman like this before.

Kaede gives me confidence as a woman.

Oh no, what should I do?
I'm starting to really like him.

I want to be with him more.

But for that to happen…

This is Moe, and this is Yuki.

I told Yuki that you want to work
as a rental girlfriend.

Oh…

Thank you for making time for me.

It's okay.

I'm wondering…

if they pay on the spot.

They usually do.

I see. That's great.

How much do they pay you?

Well, it depends on the person.

Are you quite in need of money?

Oh, well…

There's someone I like.

What? Really?

Oh, sorry.

Please, continue.

Well…

I could ask them for you.

Really?

But this job requires femininity…

that our customers are looking for.

I like your fashion and makeup.

They look great on you.

But…

To be honest…

you may not be accepted as you are.

Oh… I see.

I totally understand.

I'm sorry, but thank you.

You mean she just needs to look
the way men want her to look.

What? Well, I guess.

Then let's transform her!

If you're okay with it, let me do it.

Yuki, you should come too!

Rina…

Sorry… Thank you so much.

Sure.

You look great in a skirt.
How about this one?

It looks great on her.

The cute one and the mature one
both look good on you.

The bangs were a great idea.
You look so different.

You look great.

Done!

Moe, you look so pretty!

Wow, it doesn't look like me.

It costs to be pretty.

But it's for your loved one, isn't it?
I'm cheering for you.

I'll talk to my boss. I think you'll pass.

Rina and Yuki, thank you so much.

Okay, see you later.

-See you!
-Bye.

It's great that she wants to be pretty
for the one she loves.

Is that what she really meant?

What?

Nothing.

But you're really kind, Rina.

All I could do was turn her down.

That's not true.

Hey, Yuki, why don't we grab
a meal together?

Sure. Let's go.

Great.

I want Kaede to see me like this.

Miss, do you have an interest
in night work?

You could make at least 40,000 yen a day.

No, thanks.

That's the first time
I've ever been scouted.

It's been a while
since we hung out like this.

I kept turning you down.

I'm sorry I didn't have time
to listen to you the other day too.

It's okay. I know you've been busy.

I couldn't stop going out
with sugar daddies.

He found out, which led to us fighting.

I see.

It's not just because of money that
I can't stop going out with sugar daddies.

When I can't see my boyfriend
or fight with him…

I get too lonely.

I try to fill that void with another guy.

I can't live without depending on men.

Will I be like this forever?

I don't think it's wrong
to depend on someone.

We all live while depending on something.

I just don't want you…

to hate yourself.

I want you to see yourself differently.

You think it's possible?

Can I come to you for advice
like I used to?

Sure.

A relationship where we totally
open our hearts and trust each other…

Maybe we don't need to aim for
such a perfect relationship.

Even if it doesn't make sense to others…

the relationship could mean
the world to me.

What? Moe?

You shocked me.

I tried a new look.

You were always pretty,
but you look really wonderful.

Thank you.

But were you okay?

Didn't guys try to hit on you?

Well, a scout did talk to me
on the street.

I see. That worries me.

What did you say to him?

I was surprised,
but of course, I turned him down.

That's good.

Be careful since there are
bad guys out there.

Thank you for worrying about me.

A guest has arrived!

It's her.

Kaede!

Oh, Moe, I'm sorry. I have to go.

Sure.

Are you thinking of ordering?

Yes.

If you can handle it though…

If you order more than 50,000 plus tax,
we can do the champagne call.

So 50,000 plus tax means…

it's 70,000 with tax.

But I'll be starting work
as a rental girlfriend…

Then…

I'll have the Asti.

Sure.

It'll be okay. They pay on the spot.

I should be able to pay back
the money I borrowed…

and the tiny bit I took
from my scholarship.

Moe!

Thank you for ordering champagne.

Kaede.

Table B, with the charismatic Kaede
and his pretty wonderful princess!

We have an Asti party!

-Here we go!
-Here we go!

-Now, let's open the Asti!
-Yes!

-3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1!
-3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1!

-Yay!
-Yay!

The princess and Kaede's champagne call!
The princess and Kaede's majesty!

Let's cheer for them!

-Here, we go! Come on!
-Pretty princess!

Hold up your glass!

-Charming prince!
-Hold up your glass!

-Get excited, look at each other…
-Yes!

-3, 2, 1, cheers!
-Cheers!

Now Princess, drink up your love!

-Yes! Drink!
-Drink!

Now Prince, drink up her overflowing love!

-Yes! Drink!
-Drink!

-Now let's hear from…
-Yes!

our heroine of the night.

-3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1!
-3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1!

Well…

Moe, do you like me?

I… I do.

-Yay!
-Yay!

I ordered champagne, so I hope
we can go out for dinner tonight.

All hosts, gather at Table F!

Let's start the majesty champagne call.

-A message from the pretty princess…
-Yes!

to win the heart of the prince!

-3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1!
-3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1!

I like Kaede too. Yay!

-Yay!
-Yay!

For the girls who work for our office,
they first have to…

He couldn't accompany me
after work yesterday.

Did he go home with her?

It'll take a month for you to
start working as a rental girlfriend.

Are you okay with that?

What?

You need to listen to lectures
and do a mock date.

Oh, no…

I reduced my shifts at the pub
for this job.

I won't make enough.

I used up most of my savings
for the champagne yesterday…

so I can't pay my bills.

Miss, are you looking for a job?

You can make money immediately!
How about it?

Well…

Can I make 40,000 a day right away?

Did you read it?

Yes.

That's good.
Then your professional name is Honoka.

I know you're worried since
it's your first time, but you'll be fine.

I'll give you a lecture now.
