01x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

I brought a friend of mine.
This is Moe-tia.

It's her first time at a host club.

This isn't fun at all.

I'm Kaede. Nice to meet you.

What do you do, Yua?

I work at a girls bar.

I'll come to you after work.

Liar!

NEW MESSAGE

I see. I hope you'll make up with Harupi.

I have a class now.

Work hard at the girls bar, Yua.

Moe-tia, thank you for listening to me.
I'll work hard.

We're here.

Thanks.

Room 206, please.

Excuse me. I'm Hinami.

What? You're cuter than your picture.

Okay, come on in!

It's the 60-minute course, right?

You're pretty, so maybe I'll do
the 90-minute course.

This is Hinami. I've arrived.

He wants to change
to the 90-minute course.

Okay… I got it.

It's 28,000 yen.

Right.

Here.

Also, I don't do adult toys, starting
without taking a shower, or kissing.

What? No kisses?

Oh well, it's fine.

Come on,
I'll take you for a drive in my car.

Shall we take a shower?

Your total comes to 400,000 yen.

I'll take that.

EPISODE 8

Thank you, Yua.

I can't anymore.

Are you still angry?

I wanted to go to your place too.

But I can't help it that I was dead drunk.
It's my job.

I don't care that you didn't come over.

How much longer do I need
to keep doing this?

Why do you sound like
you're the only one who is working hard?

I give my time to other girls
so that I can make more money.

It's not like it's something I want to do…

And it's not like I want to be
with such dirty old men!

It's all for you, Haruhi.

But not only are you not looking after me,
you lied and betrayed me again.

I don't care if you sleep
with someone else.

But don't make promises you can't keep.

Do you understand?

Your happiness is built
on my unhappiness, Haruhi!

You're right.

I'm sorry for giving you a hard time.

But you mean the most to me, Yua.

I promise I'll come over today,
so stay here until I'm done.

How many times have you said that?
I can't trust you.

Trust me.

If I break my promise…

you can k*ll me.

I would never…

do that.

Can we make up?

Sure.

Good.

I'm competing with Renya today.

I want to be the top seller,
so how much can you help?

What?

What do you mean "what"?

Do you know how much my sales dropped
last month because of you?

Can we order "that" champagne?

My princess, many things happened,
but thank you for the Dom Pérignon.

White is good, but we want some red too,
to show the bright future of you two.

Yeah!

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

Here you go. Here's your edamame.

This is for the pods. Enjoy.

Two draft beers, please!

Two draft beers? Got it.

I'll take off.

Great job.

NEW MESSAGE

MOE, THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ME
TO SEE YOU OFF. GET HOME SAFE.

Yua is at the store now.

Again? I know it's about sales,
but I feel bad ignoring him.

Hey!

I was at my part-time job.

Hey!

I'm glad you responded. What do you do?

That was fast!

Moe, are you doing okay?

Yes, I am.

Are you eating well?

Yes. They provide meals too.

That's good, but don't work too hard.

You too, Mom.

Then, talk to you later.

Bye.

NEW MESSAGE

Do you have work today too?

Don't work too hard.

Are you my mom?

NEW MESSAGE

Good morning. Are you in class?
I just woke up.

Are you my boyfriend?

NEW MESSAGE

Moe, what kind of toner do you use?

Huh? Why?

Because your skin is beautiful.

KAEDE

Hey, what's up?

Moe, can we talk?

Sure, I have time.

What are you up to tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

I have classes during the day, and then
I'm going for drinks with my friends.

I see. You're busy.

I wanted to eat out with you.

Kaede, you're just trying hard
to make sales.

If you want to think so, that's fine.

I really wanted to hang out with you.

Of course, you do.

You don't believe me.

Fine. I'll call you again. Good night.

Good night.

Yuki, it's been a while!

Hey, Rina.

I broke up with my boyfriend.

I wanted to talk with you.

Okay.

Oh, whenever you have time.

Okay.

I'll call you later.

Okay.

Let's go!

Rina, we're heading to the drinking party!

Oh, okay!

What should we do?

-Who's up for round two?
-Sounds great!

Hey, didn't you say you have
a favorite bar? Let's go there.

What? Nah, Nicho is pretty far from here.

I've never been to the Nicho area before.
Take us there, will you?

I want to go there too!

Me too!

Then let's go!

Wait a minute.

The place isn't that big and
the Nicho area isn't that special either.

-Good morning!
-Good morning!

I've been so curious about
her favorite bar.

Moe often comes here.
You guys are welcome anytime too.

This is my first time in the Nicho area,
but this place is amazing.

How flattering.

Pretty girls like you are welcome any day.

Yay! Maybe I'll come here with Moe
from now on.

Sure.

By the way, I like your outfit today.

What?

I don't really remember you
wearing a skirt, but you look cute.

It's nothing special.

Hey, your eyelashes are so long!

-Are those extensions?
-Yep.

I wanted to try them.

Then I can introduce you to
the store I go to.

You'll get a promo.

Can you really?

Of course!
Let's get beautiful eyelashes together!

How exciting!

I know, I'll never be the heroine.

With a girl like Rina,

I'll never be on the same stage,
so I keep my distance.

Whenever I look at Rina,

I just feel so inferior.

TRÁP has been my only refuge,
so don't step into it.

I've been wanting that necklace
that you're wearing.

But isn't it expensive?

It is, but it was a gift.

A boyfriend? Is he rich?

That's right.

Rina has lots of them.

Come on, it's not like that.

Don't you know? Rina is in love
with her handsome boyfriend.

We broke up.

What? Oh, no! Was it a bloody mess?

Hey, Mikko… don't get excited.

Oh, I'm sorry!

I'm horrible. Why did I say that?

I hate myself.

Rina is a good person. I should go back…

and apologize to her.

-That's off-limits! Off-limits!
-Just a picture then.

No way!

No, I can't go back there.

I'll pay later.

I don't mean anything to them.

I just want to disappear.

MISSED CALL FROM KAEDE

KAEDE

Moe?

It's the first time you called me!

Kaede…

Huh? Moe?

What? Oh no, are you crying?

I…

You said you had a drinking party today.
Did something happen?

What? Let's see…

What should I do?

I wish I could come to you,
but I'm at work.

Where are you now, Moe?

I'm…

at Hanazono Shrine.

That's nearby!

Well, let's see…

I'll step out for 10 minutes,
so could you wait there?

Sure.

Moe, I'm here.

Kaede…

I'm out of breath because I ran.

Here.

Thank you.

Are you okay? Did guys hit on you
while you were out here all alone?

Of course, not.

I mean, look at me.

What are you talking about?
You need to watch out since you're a girl.

I thought you looked different today.

You're wearing a skirt.

It looks good on you.

If you'd like, you can always talk to me.

Thank you.

Have you calmed down?

Yes.

Thanks for the handkerchief.
I'll wash it before I return it to you.

Take your time.

I should go.

I lied that I was picking up a girl
who asked for me for the first time…

so I should head back.

I'm sorry. Will you be okay?

Oh, don't worry.

I'll just tell them that she didn't come.

I'm sorry I can't walk you to the station.

Take care.

Kaede, wait!

Maybe I'll come with you.

I'd love that, but you don't have to.

I'd just be depressed alone
if I went home.

I see. Then I'll try to keep it cheap.

Are you okay? Watch your step.

Thanks.

We're the same age, but you're so mature.

You're so easy to talk to.

Really? Thanks.

I felt the same about you.

They say this job makes you mature.

You must be mature too.

Here is your bill.

TAX: 3,400
TOTAL: 10,400

Huh? I was expecting it to be
around 6,000 yen.

Oh, that's right. This is your first time
asking for someone.

I'm sorry I didn't explain.

On top of the price I told you
at the beginning,

there's an extra tax,
kind of like a service fee.

Oh, I see.

Moe, take this.

What?

It's my fault that
I forgot to explain it to you…

so I'll cover the additional cost.

It's okay. I can pay for it.

Please, take it.
I could get in trouble for this…

so keep it secret.

Oh, wow! That was so moving!

It's like a romantic manga!

The fact that it happened at night
at Hanazono Shrine is just so emotional!

And he even paid for half of the cost.

Is it normal for a host to do that?

Is it a common sales trick?

Wow, that's insane!

How can you not fall for him?
Harupi has never done that for me.

Kaede may not be a so-called number one,
but he's so cool.

He's so thoughtful.

I feel comfortable being with him.

Moe-tia, you're already
falling in love with him.

But even Kaede can never beat Harupi.
Harupi is so…

NEW MESSAGE

I feel sick. I skipped work today.

What? Will you be able to work next week?

I'm not sure…

I'll be there right away.

I WANT TO QUIT.

No way!

Are you okay?

I brought some stuff.

Harupi, thank you!

I'll use the kitchen. Do you have a fever?

No. I just don't feel well.

Then just rest for now.

Drink this.

You're wearing the bangle I gave you.

I would've kept wearing this if you didn't
expose the picture on the notice board.

I didn't. I just tweeted the picture.

I bet it was another girl
who posted it. I'm sure of it.

But you did tweet it.

Why do women crave for affirmation
so much? It's sickening.

What's wrong with posting it online?

Where else can I share
about our relationship?

It's done.

Thank you. You're so kind today.

I can be if you do your part.

Here, eat up.

Mm, it's delicious.

Yua, don't be dramatic.

I'm going to work,
but make sure you get plenty of rest.

I will.

I love you so much!

I wish this would last forever.

It'll end if I let it go…

This relationship that's full of lies
and connected by money.

Will you…

stay with me even if
I can't earn money anymore?

Yua, work hard starting next week.

Okay.

Moe…

thank you for coming
to return the handkerchief.

No problem. I enjoyed our time together.

Great.

Moe, wait…

It was an eyelash.

Oh, thank you.
