01x10 - Episode 10

[bunniefuu]

Kaede gives me confidence as a woman.

I want to be with him more.

But for that to happen…

Are you quite in need of money?

There's someone I like.

Then let's transform her!

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

What?

Are you looking for a job?

You can make money immediately!

This will be your first assignment.
Smile, okay?

Three, four…

Honoka, great job.

Thank you.

I didn't like the last guy. He was rough.

But 40,000 per day for four men.

That means I can make 200,000 yen
if I work five days.

Then I can pay back Mom…

and make back
the scholarship money I used.

And for Kaede…

Don't worry. I'll teach you.

Look at me. Aren't you a college student?

Can I do it?

Can I?

-Can I?
-Can I?

Do I really want to see Kaede that badly?

At such a cost?

I wonder if he's with another girl
right now.

KAEDE

If he doesn't pick up…

I'm done.

Bye.

Moe?

Kaede?

This is the second time you called me.

Kaede…

Moe?

What happened? Are you okay?

Yes.

I'm fine.

Kaede?

Yes?

Thank you for answering the phone.

I'm always here to listen.

You can call me anytime.

Okay…

Thank you.

Koba, thank you for today.

Thank you for asking for me every time.

Next time too.

Sure. Thank you.

Sure.

Quite a few saw the picture diary
and asked for me online.

Thank you for introducing me
to that store.

Moe-tia?

Oh… Sorry, but my friend is here.

Thank you so much for everything.

Bye.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

No problem. It's been a while.

It has.

Shall we go?

You've changed a lot.

I decided to try a different look.

You look a lot cuter.
Did you get your hair done somewhere?

By the way, you were on the phone
while you were waiting for me.

I happened to hear what you said.

Oh, well…

I was talking to my scout.
I started a new job.

A scout? What kind of job?

Well, it's a night job.

You mean adult…

That's right.

That's great!

Me too!

What? Don't you work for a girls' bar?

Of course, that was a lie.
I just couldn't tell you.

I was worried you'd be disgusted
because you're a normal student.

I was worried too.

Of course, you don't need to worry!

When did you start? How is it?

It's not bad.

But when it's busy, some guys get rough.

I hate those b*stards.

Don't some repeaters bring cake
or food from department stores?

They do!

What are they thinking?
Who would eat that?

Well, I do. They're good.

Are you insane?

You'd better not.
They might have added something in it.

What?

I'm worried. You can ask me anything.

Thank you.

It's been a bit tough.

I feel better after talking to you.

Same here.

I didn't expect us to be the same.

Moe-tia, let's go to the club together.

I'd love to.

-There!
-There!

It's the first time the four of us
are having a drink together.

It's your first time coming with someone.

You make it sound like I have no friends.

You don't.

Moe, I like your hair.

What? Thank you.

Don't exclude us. We're here too.

Moe-tia brags about you to me a lot.

Do you? I want to hear
what you brag about.

What? Well…

Hey! We're here.

Kaede, stop creating
a romantic atmosphere.

Kaede!

Sorry. I'll be back.

Okay.

Hey, why don't we all hang out after this?
It'll be fun.

Sure. Then order Roger, Yua.

Okay.

Moe, how about you?

Me too. I want to join.

If it's for you, Kaede can start a tab.

Ask him.

A tab?

Moe, I'm back. What's wrong?

Kaede… I…

We wanted to hang out with you two,

but she's reluctant.

Is it true?

But doesn't a tab mean that
Kaede pays on my behalf for now?

It's a debt.

Moe-tia, get rid of the other girls
with your bill.

Just pay it back by the due date.
Let's order some pretty bottles.

I don't mind paying for you
because I trust you.

But I don't want to force you.

Kaede…

Thank you.

Moe-tia, it's your first pretty bottle.

Can you two get closer?

Like this?

That's good.

You look great!

Smile.

MS. MOE
TOTAL: 356,000 YEN

I did it.

Moe, it's a complete victory.

Here's a Strong One to congratulate you.

-Thank you.
-Sure.

-Let's go.
-Sure.

Wow, amazing!

Kaede, don't take it so seriously.
I'm tired.

You only hit the gutters, Harupi.

You too, Yua.

What? I knocked down some pins.

You throw like a child.

No, I don't!

You missed!

Darn it!

Another gutter.

Yes!

Good job, Moe!

You surprised me, Moe.

Moe-tia didn't even get one gutter.

Today's MVP is Moe.

What? All right!

Moe's skin is so smooth!

Really?

Don't hog her, Yua.

Hey…

Hey, I can't walk!

How embarrassing.

Haruhi…

Kaede, don't push.

They're all looking.

Relationships bound by money…

It's a world filled with lies.

But it makes me feel…

like the heroine.

Yua and I go that way. See you, Moe.

-Sure.
-Bye, Moe.

Bye.

-See you, Moe-tia.
-See you.

Take care.

Moe, do you have time? Shall we walk?

Sure.

We talked here before.

We did.

It feels like a long time ago.

Moe, thank you for today.

Not just today, but always.

Moe, the way you drink is just so refined.

Nanase also says he enjoys
being at your table.

It made me happy to hear that.

Oh, really? I'm glad.

I know.

I'm his customer and this is his job.

I don't expect him to be mine.

I just want to spend
as much time with him as possible.

Moe, what's the matter?

You said you like me.

Do you still feel the same?

Of course.

Moe, when's your birthday?

The 15th of next month.

Let me celebrate it with you.

When is yours?

The 9th of next month,
the same month as you.

I'll celebrate it too.

I promise.

KAEDE'S BIRTHDAY IS ON THE 9TH!
LET'S DRINK TO THE GUY EVERYONE LOVES!

I need more money.

Give me more customers so I can earn more.

Kaede…

I'll work hard.

It was fun today.
Moe-tia is so in love with Kaede.

Yua, thank you for working hard
during the business trip.

Sure. It was tough.

I had six offers a day
in an unknown place.

I could make it into the top ranks
next month at this rate,

but Kaede will surely get in too
since his birthday's coming.

I don't want to lose.

Can you order the Richard again?

But I had to go on the business trip
just to pay for it.

I've been wondering about this…

but your scout isn't very capable.

I'll introduce you to a better one.

It's incredible, Moe.

Is it for Kaede's birthday?

And the Original one too.
Keep it a secret. It's a surprise.

I got it.

Kaede is a lucky guy.

That's 1,300,000 yen…

I have to work hard.

Moe, I'm back.

What were you two talking about?

It's a secret. Right, Moe?

That's right. It's a secret.

Hey, that's not fair.

DAIKOKU PHARMACY

I need some more foundation.

I wanted to buy one at a department store,
but I'll get a cheap one.

What? Moe?

Aren't you Moe?

I wasn't sure since you look so different.

Oh…

Moe, you haven't been to TRÁP at all
these past few days…

so Mikko has been missing you.

I've been a bit busy.

What?

You look really pretty.

It's fun to be pretty.

I forgot how I used to talk
to Tsubasa before.

You're good at doing makeup.

Me?

There were people who acknowledged
my desire to be pretty…

and others who taught me how to do that.

Thanks to them,
I was able to become who I want to be.

I see.

I'm also thankful for you.

I wasn't sure…

whether I like women or men.

Oh, I remember that.

So I was in a relationship
with both men and women.

But neither felt right.

You always told me…

that life isn't all about love.

Is it that important to be in love?

I don't think that's what life is about.

Oh, I remember saying that before.

I agreed with what you said.

I stopped forcing myself to pursue love.

So… thank you.

I didn't do anything.

I'm exhausted.

WN ECONOMIC SEMINAR

I'm in a totally different world.

DELETE

Kaede…

Yuki, did you know that Moe dropped out?

She did?

She left our chat group too,
so I can't contact her.

I miss her.

I bet.

It's hard to put things back together
once you cut things off.

You won't leave me, will you?

I…

I won't.

-Yuki! Let's eat out again.
-Sure.

I'll head to my next class.

-Okay.
-Bye.

GIRL GIRL TOKYO OFFICE:
YOU HAVE A RESERVATION. PLEASE CONFIRM.

SOTA TSUJI

I can't stand the thought of
you dating other men.

I don't want you to continue such a job.

Even just one day sooner…

I wish you could quit right now.

I can't accept that.

Why…

The more money I get,
the more broken I feel.

I can't earn enough these days.

I promised to celebrate his birthday.

I'M EXCITED TO CELEBRATE
YOUR BIRTHDAY WITH YOU.

I won't make it at this rate.

I want to end this after telling Kaede
what I've done for him.

But I don't want him to dislike me…

or burden him by telling him that.

I want to see him.
I want to hear his voice.

Do I just keep going like this?

Watch out!

NEW MESSAGE

MOM

Moe, I sent you the documents
for your withdrawal from college.

The reason I nagged you over the phone
was because I was so shocked.

But we're always on your side.

College isn't everything.

It's your life.

Actually, Dad also dropped out of school.

Don't tell him I told you.

I'll be waiting for your call.

Come home after things get settled.

Miss, how about giving our place a try?

Oh…

I guess you're not in the mood for a host.

I don't know what happened, but cheer up!

Kaede?

Yeah?

It seems like Moe will order the Angel
and the Original on your birthday.

Really?

She told me to keep it secret, though.

Okay. Thanks.

-Press on.
-Okay.

Talk to you later.

You paid off the 500,000 yen.

Aren't you staying?

Harupi has the day off today.

Oh, right.
Hey, I heard that you'll be ordering…

the Richard this month.

Amazing!

What? I didn't say that.

Did Harupi say that?

I can't do it anymore.

WHAT DID YOU TELL NANASE?
I TOLD YOU I CAN'T!

I reached 10,000,000!
Man, I worked hard for this!

I'm so beat. Worked my butt off today too.
I should reward myself.

Whose money do you think it is?
