01x12 - Oh, my sweet home!

[bunniefuu]

Hiroshi here.

I'm looking forward to Christmas
more than anyone.

Does it bother you?

The year is almost over,

but it doesn't seem like Sunako will be
turning into a lady anytime soon, does it?

Why don't we make a wish to Santa Claus?

If I'm to make any wishes, I'II wish for money!
Enough money to cover the full rent!

You don't dream, do you?

What would you wish of Santa claus?

InternaI organs!

I don't think he could give you those!

Ah, kimi wo omou yoru wa

Amaku kaoru kaze no naka ni

Nagusameru you na

Yasashisa ga boku wo toori sugiru yo

The Wallflower

Itai hodo shitteru yo

Ima no goku wa kodoku to iu jiyuusa kara

Ah, kimi wo omou yoru wa

Amaku kaoru kaze no naka ni

Nagusameru you na

Yasashisa ga kokoro toori sugiru yo

Christmas! Christmas!

Merry Christ.. Christ.. Christmas!

Looks like you're having fun for no
particular reason, huh, Yuki?

But this is fun!

What part of this is fun to you?

Have you realized that the Wicked
Lord of Dread is coming back?

Wicked Lord of Dread?

The one who comes during
Christmas is Santa Claus!

Our Santa Claus is a very scary person,

who comes here to collect
the rent money from us.

I see!

Ow! It really hurts!
And you're over here, humming away!

But you know, Christmas is a
very speciaI day for us!

Huh? Why?

Su.. Sunako...

Yes?

That's not Christmasy at all!

Yuki, what do you mean by Christmas
being very speciaI for you guys?

Oh, it was just one year ago...

I came here to live in this
boarding house by myself,

because my dad had to move away
from the city for his work.

I was really excited, but a
little nervous back then.

I'm Yukinojo Toyama!

It's very nice to meet you!

I'm the landlord of this property.

La.. Landlord?!

Is something wrong?

When I hear " landlord"
I picture someone like...

Hey, the curfew's 9 o'clock and when you come
to dinner, you gotta eat up within half an hour!

Nutty imagination!

dazzle

dazzle
What now?

Hello, I'm Ranmaru Morii.

He's ... He's just like a prince or something.

Huh?

Hello, nice to meet you. You're cute.

Hey! Wait, I'm ... I'm a man!

Man?

toss

Starting today you guys are going to be
living together, so try to get along okay?

I'm expecting one more,

someone the same age as you, so you
should all get along just fine, right?

I see, and naturally that other
person is a girI, right?

What? We're housemates? The same age?

CLIP-CLOP

What's with this very Japanesey atmosphere?

I'm Takenaga Oda, and I am much
obliged to you, Madame.

It's pleasure to meet you.

Yes, well, I certainly appreciate your courtesy.

Whoa, another good-looking guy.

Now that we everyone's here, why don't you
guys take your things to your rooms?

Let's have dinner together!

Supposedly, she's a widow.

What?
Supposedly, she's a widow.

What?
I'm so lucky.

I'm so lucky.

Huh?
I'm so lucky.

Huh?

Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Wow!

This is amazing!

Starting today, this is my new room! Whoopee!

I get to live in this great looking mansion with
a beautifuI landlord and cooI housemates!

It feels like I've become part of
a completely different world!

All right, I'm gonna do my best!

The Road to Womanhood!

The Road to Womanhood!
The Road to Womanhood!

The Road to Womanhood!

There was no Sunako in the
house back then, so...

Wrong!

Lacking lady!

The Road to Womanhood!
To Be Continued

So, how do you like it?

It tastes great!

Let me guess, this flavor would be...

Catered by the famous French
restaurant, Ristorante Noble?

Would you like seconds?

Yes, please!

Be sure to leave room for dessert!

Dessert, huh?

The truth is that you want to offer me a
different kind of "dessert" , don't you?

What?

You know I'II eat it right up.
I'II be it's been a while, right?

Was it just my imagination?
I thought you just said something.

L.. Let's just enjoy the meaI! Okay, Auntie?

What did you call me?
I couldn't hear you so well!

I.. I.. I.. I'm so sorry!

I'M SO SORRY
I.. I.. I.. I'm so sorry!

Let me go!

Perhaps you need some speech
lessons or something.

Please stop them!

Why?

"Why?"
Why?

"Why?"

You hold it right there!

Sheesh! A hystericaI woman with
a beautifuI face, huh?

Do something!

It's none of my business.

Why not?! We're gonna live
together from now on!

So, why not get along and have fun together?

What's so funny?!

That was so cute! It hit the spot!

I'm sorry, but that's not my thing,
and I'm not interested.

Goodbye, my rosy high schooI life...

Goodbye... My rosy hlgh school llfe...
Goodbye, my rosy high schooI life...

Well, anyway...

Yes?

Those boys were sent here because their
families wanted them to be normaI.

Ranmaru has become used to having
things his way all his life.

And Takenaga is very far removed from the
reaI world because he was so restricted

by his family's traditions growing up.

It's not their fault, but I must admit
that they're a little twisted.

But I know they're bad kids.

So, try to be patient with them, okay?

Ranmaru!

Ranmaru, listen...

Huh? Who is this? He's cute!

Hi, little boy... Wanna hang out with us?

I... I'm not a little boy!

Did you need something?

You need to help me clean up!

It's your fault the dining room is such a mess!

I've never cleaned before...

So, I'II let you handle that!

Now, come on, honeys!

Fine then!

Economic Theory

So basically, I need you to clean up.

I'm busy right now.

I'm sure you've never cleaned before either.

I'm sorry, have we met?

Yeah. The first time was at some party,

and the second time was at
the kendo championship.

Do you remember that?
I was the one who won.

I was only forced to learn kendo as
the successor of the Oda family.

Oh, was it flower arrangement you guys
carried the title of " master of"?

Yeah, and you must be from the Morii family,
as in the HoteI Group Morii?

You got it.

They're reaI life richie riches!
They the reaI deaI, crazy rich!

On the other hand, I'm just a plain,
old, ordinary commoner!

The Wall Between
the Rich and the Poor

I'm gonna ask Miss Nakahara to
install a lock on my door.

What?

I'm gonna need a TV set in my room as well.

And a shower too.

That's not gonna happen!

If I put a lock on the door, I know
Takenaga will lock himself in,

and Ranmaru will bring girls!

That kind of selfishness will not be
tolerated in this household!

I think it's only naturaI for one to lock himself in
when strangers constantly surround him.

Kids need privacy too, you know!

Oh, you wanna be treated as a kid only
when it's convenient for you?

You have some nerve!

There will be no dinner untiI you two
clean up the dining area!

If you have anything to say to me,
say it after you clean it up!

I don't have time for this crap!

We just have to hire some housekeepers.

You can't do that!
That's only gonna make her...

Yeah, why don't you take me to
an Italian restaurant tonight?

I'm going back to my room now.

I'II call a catering service for food.

Wait!

What are you doing?

My face!

I hate you... The bookworm and playboy...

You don't care about other
people's feelings, do you?

I hate stupid rich kids!

I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!

I'm perfectly fine with that!

Why you! Don't you underestimate commoners!

Don't you underestimate playboys!

Jeez, fighting is such a
ridiculous thing to do.

Shut the hell up!

You sensitive b*stard!

You guys are morons! Complete morons!

Hey, you know you're not in any
position to talk about us.

But I've always been the same!

No, I remember!

Yup!

Back then you were like ...

A walking broad-bladed knife!

"Broad-bladed knife" ?

What the hell's with you?

Broad-bladed knife! Broad-bladed knife!

That's right.

After that, on that day...

I'm home... What is this?!

WeI.. Welcome back...

Well, anyway, listen, everyone.
I just found something outside.

Come on in, now!

"Found something" ? But that's a person.

This is Kyhohei Takano.

I'm going to let him stay here, so here he is!

So, am I going to be sold to them or
am I going to be sold along with them?

Why would you think I'm
that kind of person?!

I don't buy or sell! Bleh!

Where did you find him?

I found him in a cardboard box in the rain,

just like a puppy.

That's a lie!

Takenaga, that's a lie, right?

Drama, drama...

That calm attitude of yours pisses me off!!

Kyohei!

You've got a visitor already!
The manager from your part-time job.

Well, you just left the store all of
a sudden, so I got worried.

Don't you every show your
stinkin' face in here again!

That was just...

What?

Nothing.

If you got something to say, just say it!

What are you afraid of?

Auntie?

Auntie?!

Send them all away, no matter
who comes to visit me.

And I'm not taking any phone calls.

I understand that you've been followed,
but maybe you're also the cause of it.

Kyohei, look this way!

What you did was " unjustifiable self-defense" !

Kyohei! I know you're inside the house!

Please come out!

Kyohei, I'm so tired now.

Hello, Kyohei Takano is not here!

Hello! Kyohei Takano is not home!

He's not here! Damn it!

What do you think about these?

What are those?

I found them in the maiI box.

Kyohei love
Kyohei
Die with me!
I found them in the maiI box.

Kyohei love
Kyohei
Die with me!

I LOVE YOU

I LOVE YOU
Yeew! That's blood.

What about this bulky envelope?

Th.. That's hair!

"Please think of it as me and cherish it. "

Why are you crying?

Because this is terrible!

How can he feeI safe anywhere
when they do this to him?

Shut up!

Are you Kyohei's friend?

Y.. Yeah...

I'm his girlfriend! Let me see him!

I'm his girlfriend!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
I'm his girlfriend!

How do you know he's here?

Because I hired a private detective!

Police guarded him on
the way to schooI

and if I went to his house, his
mother turned me away!

Wait, wait! Why would they
do such things anyway?

Because some stupid woman
tried to kidnap him!

That's right! And you need to stay out of it!

Kyohei has been sexually
harassed even at work!

Things are awfuI for him!

S.. Sexually harassed?

I'm going to comfort him!

Kyohei is mine!

Damn it!

I, Yukinojo Toyama, will protect Kyohei,
in the name of my grandma!

Man
Yukinojo
Toyama
I, Yukinojo Toyama, will protect Kyohei,
in the name of my grandma!

No thanks.

Oh...
No thanks.

Why don't you stop being stubborn
and just accept his offer?

Listen up, everyone!

Kyohei is not in this house!

This is for the ladies outside!
Kyohei is not in this house!

Please leave immediately!

That must be our prince, Kyohei-nne!

We're going to rescue...

...our beloved prince...

who's been imprisoned in the castle!

How romantic!

Damn! Close all the windows!

Kyohei! Come out!

Give back our Kyohei!

Isn't there any way we can send them home?

How would I know?
They're just having fun doing that.

I'm sure it doesn't necessarily have
to be me for that matter.

That's it!

Ranmaru, now it's your turn to be on stage!

With that silky hair and that
smooth skin of yours!

Your sexy body and
over-flowing pheromones!

You're the only one who can
shut those girls up!

If you insist, I guess I have no choice.

Hey, someone's coming out!

That's not Kyohei.

Hello, beautifuI ladies!

Hey, hold on a sec...

He's so handsome!

If you don't mind, I'd like to
hang out with you ladies.

Wait for your turn!

Stop it!

I'm Kyohei's fiance!

Ladies, I'd like to ask you to leave
this place immediately!

That's a man!

Busted!

But this is also acceptable, in a way!

Let's take him home with us!

Oh, no!

They took my clothes!

Jeez, I guess I have no choice.

Wh.. What is that?!

This is much faster than punching
one by one, right?

Here, throw that.

We're gonna die! We're gonna die!
We're gonna die!

This is hilarious!

So lame...

You know, this kid is trying to protect you.
So, what the hell do you think you're doing?

You can't do anything by yourself?

Or will you raise your hand even against a
woman, the same way you did last night?

Why don't you get out of here if you have some
place that's more comfortable than here?

Miss Nakahara! This is the police!

There's been a report that Kyohei Takano has
been kidnapped and confined here!

Oh, boy, so now we're criminals?

That's all right.

Open the door immediately!

Miss Nakahara!

This is the police!

Hey, someone's coming out!

That's Kyohei! That's Kyohei!

Wh.. What?

No way!

Please leave, I beg of you.

Please leave...
Please leave, I beg of you.

Please leave...
I beg of you.
Please leave, I beg of you.

Kyohei...

Please raise your head!

NOOOOOO!!

Kyohei! Stop it!

This is so not like him!

Get up.

Is it true that you've been kidnapped
and confined here?

Check inside the house.

Yes, sir!

Who said you could go inside the house?

I'm not letting anyone go in!

Wh.. What?!

Kyohei! Kyohei! Kyohei!

Sir, let's force our way in!

Hold it right there!

You have some nerve having
a party at my house!

You must be the kidnapper!
You're under arrest!

A phone call for you, Mr. Detective!

Wh.. What?!

Who the hell are you?

Su.. Superintendent-GeneraI?!

What? You say you're the one who requested
Kyohei Takano to be taken into her care?

Officers and ladies, please
listen very carefully!

These boys are very important to me
and they belong here.

And if any of you harm them ever,

I'II be sure to send you to Hell!

Hey! You get out of here now!

Well, if you'II excuse us....

Let's go!

Yes, sir!
Let's go!

Yes, sir!

You looked pretty cooI when you got
down on your hands and knees.

Shut up.

Oh yeah, I've told all your parents that they
don't have to support you financially.

What? My parents too?!

Of course! It's not my style to discriminate.

From now on, you guys are
responsible for everything.

And that includes your own rent!

What?!

And that is my Christmas present to you all.

What the hell is that?

I see! I had no idea that's what happened!

So, that's why Christmas Day
is so memorable.

That was the day all of us laughed
together for the very first time!

Stop talkin' about such embarrassing stuff,
Miss Yuki, you cross-dressin' little girI, you!

No, I don't like doing that!

I didn't have a choice!

In this snow? Could that be?

Most likely...

She's here, huh?

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas...

Takenaga, how much do you have right now?

That's a question to ask Ranmaru.

Hey, Yuki...

I don't have it! How about Kyohei?

Takenaga, how much you got right now?

Merry!

So, what happened to the
broad-bladed knife anyway?

To make it a bright one, I would take some
of those red polka-dot mushrooms, and...

Sunako is being weird!

Someone stop her!
