TRUST ME MY WAY
The proceeds from the sale of simple commodities from your first live show yesterday came to ¥8,372,650.
In addition, you have your formal contract bonus of ¥60,000,000.
This comprises the sum we are paying you now.
All the bills shown are ¥10,000 denominations, which is worth about US$107 as of July 2009.
This is all money?
It is the real thing, paid as compensation to you, Izumi-sama.
Even if you paid off the debt, you'd still have ¥3,000 left over, Onee-san!
Mitsuki is mistaken by a factor of one hundred. If Izumi paid off her debt, she would actually have ¥375,560 left over.
This isn't a dream, is it?
It might be a dream.
It's not!
This is real!
I did it!
I can repay my debt!
I'm free now!
Hurray!
He is My Prince!?
Yoshitaka-kun, please wake up.
Hey, wake up!
Mitsuki-chan...
Lemme sleep a lil longer...
That hurt!
J- Wh-What the...?
Oh, Anna-chan, good morning.
It felt like someone just kicked me out of bed!
No way, Anna-chan?
Your sleeping posture was bad and you fell out of bed.
It's unusual for you to come wake me up, Anna-chan.
Why don't you say how you're feeling?
What are you talking about?
You and I have a relationship, don't we, Yoshitaka-kun?
Something's fishy!
Now, please hurry and get up.
Mitsuki-chan is waiting to prepare your breakfast.
Y-You're planning something, aren't you?
I can't believe you're treating me so nicely!
Oh, no...
I was just doing it for my beloved Yoshitaka-kun!
But you're being so cruel...
A-All right!
I'm sorry, Anna-chan.
Yoshitaka, it's time to wake up.
Okay, I came to get you up.
Ah, uh, bu- Wh-
Well, then, bye-bye.
You can be late if you want.
Izumi.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOSHITAKA?!
Anna-chan!
What did Yoshitaka do to you?
Don't put up with it!
Please don't be violent with Yoshitaka-kun!
Huh?
Anna-chan.... what happened?
I've opened my eyes!
Relationships between women are no good after all!
From now on I'm going to go after Yoshitaka-kun, just as I was from the beginning!
No, you can't do that!
Izumi-san...
I'm... serious.
Ha! You shouldn't meddle in other people's business!
Or do you have feelings for Anna-chan after a-
Of course not!
Ann-chan is free to go out with whomever she wants,
but I won't allow it to be you, Yoshitaka!
I see.
So you're jealous, huh?
The fact that I'm taken hurt that much?
No!
So then you really do like Anna-chan?
Ah! You're getting on my nerves!
Yoshitaka-kun and I have a love-love relationship.
So please don't interfere, Izumi-san!
You said it!
I'll be sure to make you hap-
M-My head was just itchy.
Anna-chan, you can't do this after all.
If you fall into Yoshitaka's hands, your life will amount to nothing!
Well, let's find out if that's true!
It's the Yoshitaka-kun ❤ Anna-san Love-Love competition!
It looks like Nakabayashi and Sawatari-san are having a contest over Kurauchi!
So Sawatari-san swings that way after all?
I guess it's starting again...
We're going to judge the extent of Master and Anna-san's love-love!
I accept!
I'll show you the strength of our bond!
Right, Anna-chan?
A-All right!
Let's do our best.
First of all, cooking for and nursing Master has already been done, so...
Ah, that's it!
You're going to express your love for each other!
You can do it, right?
O-Of course!
We're going to do it in front of all these people?
I-I feel a little awkward.
Now then, let's begin with Master!
Were I to compare a flower such as this to your beauty,
It would appear to be nothing more than trash, but I offer it to you...
as I offer my timid heart.
Now then... it's Anna-san's turn.
How embarrassing.
mumbling
You are like a rainbow, over which the faraway North Star glitters as the forbidden Venus
descends through the non-Euclidean, hooved-shaped void of space to the mountain where,
on a fall day, the diamond-like violin star of a wild beast...
Huh?
W-Well, what's your decision, Onee-chan?
Umm, I don't really understand.
But it didn't seem like either one really put any love into it.
Well, Onee-chan, what would you say?
I-I'm going to do it?
It's an experiment, an experiment!
Well, even if it's an experiment, I don't want to say it to Yoshitaka, so I'll say it to Anna-chan.
Hey, wai- Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?
You are my bright, shining morning star.
I offer all that I am to you.
No matter what anyone says, I want you to always stay by my side.
I understand!
Let's get married right away!
U-Um, that was so realistic that I just kind of...
I-I was just talking!
Anna-chan...
Something's definitely fishy here.
Anna-chan, are you plotting something?
Ah, u-um...
Hey, Izumi!
Don't meddle in what's none of your business!
What do you mean "none of my business"?!
This problem is between me and Anna-chan!
Anna-chan says she likes me, so isn't that enough?
Just because you got rejected, don't take it out of us!
That's so unsightly!
Wha-
Reje-
Why don't you take Anna-chan's feeling into consideration?
You were cast aside by Anna-chan!
Hah, you loser!
You got rejected!
She hates you!
Go drown your sorrows in alcohol!
Meanwhile, I'll show you conclusive proof of our love!
I CAN'T DO THIS AFTER ALL!
Anna-chan!
Wh-What's going on?
U-Um...
Izumi-san!
Yoshitaka-kun threatened me!
He used my weakness against me.
He said he'd give away the secret videos!
Yoshitaka!
Huh?
Hey wai-
Wh-What are you talking about?
SO THAT'S WHAT THIS WAS ABOUT?!
Die, you worm!
Anna-san, why don't you go ahead and tell the truth?
All right.
Pervert!
It was a setup?!
Yes.
I was worried that you might leave the house, Izumi-san.
So I had a talk with Mitsuki-chan.
And then...
Well then, be unfaithful!
...is what she told me.
If I made it look like I was interested in Yoshitaka-kun,
I thought Izumi-san would come around.
That's so mean, Anna-chan...
I got used in another one of Mitsuki's schemes...
There's no way I would ever be unfaithful.
I was sure that if I could make her mine in one fell swoop,
Izumi-san wouldn't talk about leaving.
You don't have to worry about that, Anna-chan.
Even though I can repay my debt,
I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.
Izumi-san, does that mean...
I see!
That means you don't want to be separated from me after all!
Jeez, you're persistent!
Um, don't misunderstand me, Anna-chan.
Even if we leave here, there's still the matter of a place for Pochi...
No matter what you say, Izumi-san, I'll only have eyes for you from now on!
I'll have my eyes on you, too!
Around the clock!
Yours are all hidden cameras!
You're as unsightly as always, Yoshitaka.
You're...
Who?
My penniless cousin.
WHO'S PENNILESS?!
My parents died.
It was a traffic accident.
My inheritance was enormous,
but for someone like me, who had never so much as cleaned my own room,
it was necessary to have people who could look after me so that I could continue my lifestyle.
Inquire Within for Details
Hiring Servants
Urgently Hiring
Master.
Master!
Master, I failed to hear the buzzer.
I'm sorry, but please make do with Cup Ramen for the rest of breakfast.
What the hell are you giving this to me for?!
I can't eat something in this condition!
I'm sorry, but I left all such caretakings to the ladies before their retirement.
You should have practiced and learned from them, then.
I only have a short time here until I, too, am old enough to receive my pension.
Until then, I just have to make ends meet somehow.
Someone like you who has never known hardship would not understand, Master.
Ah, I'm sorry. Those are the complaints of a servant.
Damn it. That really pisses me off!
And on the other hand, that bastard Yoshitaka...
He has it made, being surrounded by three cute maids,
living a fun and interesting life!
How is it that he and I, who have had almost the same lot in life,
are living so differently?!
At that time, I found Izumi-san's photo album on the Internet.
Upon further investigation,
I found out that Izumi-san was being made to work in an indecent outfit to repay a debt!
My poor Izumi-san!
I can't believe you're by the side of such a strange guy!
Anyway, I can't leave a woman to suffer!
No matter what I have to do,
I will bring Izumi-san into this house!
And that's the story.
I picked out those pictures of Onee-chan!
That's all fine and good,
but you got careless and forgot to say your own name.
Yeah, who are you?
It's not as large as mine,
but he's a bastard who received an inheritance and waves it around like the nouveau rich he is.
Nouveau rich (Fr. "newly rich") is a term used to describe those who attain their wealth within their generation, as opposed to someone who is old money.
My master is also the president of my production company.
Nakabayashi Seiichirou-sama!
Forgive me, Izumi-san, for not introducing myself until now.
But this is the only way I could save you from Yoshitaka's clutches.
If I had been found out in the meantime,
I'm not sure what kind of suffering you would have endured at the hands of Yoshitaka.
Everything is all right, now.
A-All right!
Then do you mean that my contract money was to help me too?
Seiichirou!
You've already lost!
At what?
No matter what you say, that contract money is Izumi-san's legitimate revenue!
Izumi-san will officially come into my service as an exclusive property of my office!
I'm sorry.
Izumi-san, I know that you weren't trying to become an idol of your own free will.
But this was the only way to rescue you from the devious machinations of Yoshitaka.
Can you forgive me?
He is my prince!
That's... quite all right.
I can't believe that you would go to such lengths for me.
How can you say that? You plan on hiring Izumi and then taking advantage of her weakness
so you can sexually harass her, don't you?
Like I said, don't compare me to you!
That's right, dumbass!
Ah, so God really was watching over me!
Hold on!
You trust this guy after you just met him for the first time?
That's right. What about you, Mitsuki-chan?
Let me think.
He seems a little too normal, which is boring.
You look like much more fun, Master!
Normal is fine!
Normal!
Then let's have a contest!
The Rapid-Fire Otaku Quiz!
Why are you having a quiz?!
And even worse... an otaku quiz?!
Our master has to be an otaku!
Otherwise, the viewers wouldn't accept it!
If you win, Seiichirou-kun, we'll work at your house!
If Master wins, we'll work here just like we have until now.
In addition, he'll want something from Seiichirou-kun, won't he?
She's ignoring me.
All right, if I lose, I'll give you my servant.
Me?
You think I want him?
It's all right, Master.
Please leave it to me!
R-Really?
If you say so, Mitsuki-chan.
Now then, let's start!
The first to get three questions right wins!
In Space Battleship Yamato, what is the Gamilas word meaning "Form up and mount the tanks!"?
Rapid-Fire Otaku
Seiichirou-kun?
Tsubakukansaruma!
Correct!
How do you know something like that, Seiichirou-kun?
I was lucky.
Incidentally, the script for this part had it written ×△〇,
Gibberish or nonsense words in Japanese can be represented by various non-phonetic characters - the "backwards reading: of these characters that Seiichirou refers to
but the voice actors thought it would be clever to read it backwards...
is simply the names of the characters below read backwards according to the Japanese syllabry. ×='batsu', △='sankaku', and 〇='maru'.
Otaku Quiz Contestants
...is something that Yoshitaka bragged to me about once before!
I just have a good memory!
Really?
The next question!
The birthplace of Anno-san, Tomomi-chan, and Mattsuu is?
Anno-san is Anno Hideaki, director of Neon Genesis Evangelion and other Gainax work. Tomomi-chan is the popular name for Tomomi Nishimura, a Japanese idol who made her debut in 1986. Mattsu is the author of HiMM manga, whom you saw a minute ago as a glasses-wearing alligator.
Ube City in the Yamaguchi prefecture!
The God of Death Hell Bullet Leo Shooting Star Magnum is...
Prince Zabitan's certain-death move!
Prince Zabitan is a character in the gag manga "Lizard King" (リザードキング), first published in anthology form in 1989 and reprinted in 1993.
I did it!
I won!
Now, let's go, Izumi-san!
I'll be taking Izumi-san as promised.
I take it you have no objections, you loser?
Th-That's ridiculous...
The match goes to the first to win three contests!
You forfeit if you leave now!
WHAT?!
Th-That's terrible, Mitsuki-chan!
Making up something like that up after the fact-
Kumeshin-san?
Shouldn't he at least say something?
Now then, let's go to the next event!
We'll continue with the Figurine Construction Contest!
The theme is "She is My Ideal Maid"!
Make a
Maid!
I won't lose this time!
This field is my absolute specialty!
Master has set to work with incredible intensity!
That face already looks like he's on the verge of committing a crime!
How long will Seiichirou-kun be able to square off against Master in the end?
Can amateurs even make figurines?
That's too much of a handicap...
It's done!
She is my ideal erotic maid!
That's our Master!
It's incredibly well-made!
IT'S NOTHING BUT A CONTINUOUS STRING OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT WITH YOU, ISN'T IT?!
Now, let's see if Seiichirou-kun was able to finish!
It's incredible...
I lose.
How 'bout that?
U-um... Why are you able to make things like that?
Don't tell me you like that kind of thing...
Come now, Izumi-san!
There's no way I would!
Truth be told, I'm in the Art Club.
Ah!
So that's where you learned carving and the like?
You are?
This is bad!
My back is to the wall!
It'll be fine.
Please leave it to me!
Finally, we have the Cosplay Outfit Creation Contest!
Cosplay (コスプレ), or "costume play", is dressing up as a favorite character or to fit a favorite scenario. But be honest... you knew that, right?
The models will be...
These two!
Why do they have to make cosplay outfits?!
And what's more, you're making me a model?!
Master needs to be able to make a maid outfit or something to stand a fighting chance!
That's so heavy handed!
There's no theme for this round!
Feel free to make the clothes of your choice!
Master, your model is Onee-chan.
Seiichirou-kun gets Anna-san!
Do your best, Seiichirou-kun!
But I wonder why Seiichirou-kun can do something that Yoshitaka would do.
Is it just my imagination or do those to make it seem like I'm seeing double?
It's done!
A summer clothing sailor suit for the outer layer with blue bloomer pants
and topped off with bunny ears!
I call it "Sailor Bunn-
Oww!
Die, you perverted bastard!
It looks like Onee-chan didn't like it!
Zero points!
Now, how about Seiichirou-kun?
Wh-What a wedding dress!
Anna-san is so beautiful!
This is... me?
It really suits you, Anna-chan.
Although it would have suited you even more if Yoshitaka had made a tuxedo or something for Izumi-san...
Thank you very much!
I'm sure I'll be very happy!
Please be certain to attend the ceremony!
He researched Anna-chan's weakness?!
With this, it's straight victory... Quizzes, figurines, and outfit making!
Just as promised, I'll be taking the maids!
I feel like I've seen that face recently...
Yes, Izumi is reading the HiMM manga. Volume 2, to be specific.
Help me, Mitsuki-chan!
It's fine, it's fine!
I forgot!
There's one more condition to employing us!
Th-There's more?!
We have a pet named Pochi.
We want someone who can get along with Pochi.
A pet?
Is that all?
Pochi!
Come out!
It's unfair that he hasn't had an appearance, so he's really on edge!
So what's your decision?
True...
I can't deal with reptiles.
Once, when I was young, we donated a python we were keeping at our house to the zoo.
Oh, here it is!
All right, move it!
It's dark!
I can't move!
I'm scared!
So taking care of Pochi is impossible, isn't it?
Well, that's too bad.
Go on and go home!
What are you saying?!
This is all for the sake of Izumi-san!
No matter what I have to do, I'll overcome my dislike of reptiles!
D-Do your best, Seiichirou-kun!
Don't push yourself.
As if there's something Yoshitaka can do that I can't...
Pochi!
If you listen to what I say, I'll give you something nice!
HAPPY!
And now there's nothing to talk about!
I truly am suited to be their master!
Hey, why are you carrying those things around with you?
I was starting to wonder about this...
But maybe Seiichirou-kun isn't all that different from Yoshitaka.
We hit the mark!
Just when I thought I was finally going to be free of that perverted Yoshitaka,
It wouldn't be any different if I went with Seiichirou-kun!
B-But even if my disposition is the same as Yoshitaka's...
Even if I'm a lolicon uniform fetishist who loves peeping pictures, plays girls simulation games, and dresses in women's clothing...
If I'm the same, then why don't you choose me?!
Wasn't there one thing too many in what he just said?
What are Yoshitaka's characteristics again?
He's a lolicon uniform fetishist who loves peeping pictures and plays girl simulation games.
What did Seiichirou-kun just say?
Ready, and...
He's a lolicon uniform fetishist who loves peeping pictures, plays girls simulation games,
AND DRESSES IN WOMEN'S CLOTHING?!
Crap!
A major comeback!
Seiichirou-kun wins!
S-Stop joking!
If we go with some weird guy, it won't be any different in the end!
But he sounds like much more fun!
N-No!
No, no, no!
Well then, Master.
Thank you for looking after me!
H-Hey, Mitsuki-chan!
Don't tell me you're serious about this!
Have I ever lied to you before?
Ah, no, it's just that... earlier you said everything would be fine!
Well, this is good-bye, Yoshitaka-kun.
This is... ridiculous...
Anna-san, here you are.
A farewell present of weapons you can use!
Think of Onee-chan when you see them, and please take care of them!
Izumi-san is going to become unattainable to me, isn't she?
I understand.
Well, if Izumi-san is going to become happy, I'm the one thing who can do it!
Anna-chan's slurring pronunciation of 'honmono' (本物 - "the real thing") also sounds like 'homo' (ホモ), the common Japanese term for homosexuals.
I'll let her be.
Now, shall we go?
Yes, Master!
W-Wait, Mitsuki!
Are you really all right with this?
Huh?
But you've repaid your debt and Pochi is with us.
We don't have a reason to stay here anymore.
That's true, but...
Even if Seiichirou-kun has some deviant hobbies,
he doesn't look like he's as big of a pervert as Yoshitaka...
Don't tell me you want to stay here?
Why would you think that?!
I don't!
There's no way I would!
Izumi.
Were you just thinking that you wanted me to stop you?
Wh-What are you saying? Of course I wasn't!
The truth is that you want to stay by my side forever, don't you?
Am I wrong?
Say it!
What are you... What's with you?
Who do you think would choose to stay with you?!
If you sincerely ask me to stop you, I'll do so.
It's the least you could do as one of my maids.
Wait.
This is my ticket out of this place!
I hope you live in solitude in this house for the rest of your life!
That'd be perfectly fair!
Farewell, bye-bye, take care of yourself, all RIGHT?!
We're going, Mitsuki.
Do you have Pochi?
Yes!
Hurry up and tell us what we need to know, Seiichirou-kun!
Y-Yes!
Onee-chan!
What's wrong?
Ah, I'm sorry!
This is good, isn't it?
Perfectly fair.
Izumi-san is gone.
I may really become a nun now.
I-I don't know what kind of face to make at a time like this.
I guess you should laugh.
You should use this room from now on.
No need to hesitate; this apartment is all mine!
All of it?!
Of course, we'll prepare a room for Pochi as well.
This is great, isn't it?
I can't believe we have an apartment like this in the middle of the city!
You're right.
Today sure wore me out.
I'm going to sleep.
Onee-chan?
Now then, I wonder what kind of pictures he took today.
Huh?

Welcome!
N-N-Nice to meet you!
Okui-san!
Please kick Izumi out and become a regular on this anime!
What did you say?!
More importantly, Yoshitaka-kun!
Yes?
You can't torment Izumi-chan so much!
The Faraway Boyfriend, Yoshitaka
Ah... I'm sorry.
