Tsukushi:
Doumyouji’s mother
has finally returned.
Kamio Youko
[004-1] Tsukushi:
Th. . .This is a problem.
Let’s see, let’s see.
I’m staying at the Doumyouji house for free, and working there as a maid. . .
[005-1] Tsukushi:
[005-3] Akira:
Yuuki:
Tsukushi:
And I’m dating her son on a trial basis.
Hey!
[Ts-Tsukushi.]
And if I’m a maid there. . .
Then she’s my boss. . .
[Mumble mumble]
What’s with her? She’s staring at the wall.
[Creepy.]
Maybe she’s shocked from being tricked.
. . .Just now. . .

Your mom was here!?
Seriously!? Here!?
SILENCE
It’s not strange that she’s here.
This is Tsukasa’s family’s hotel.
That’s true, but. . .
She’s probably here for a meeting or something.
How can you be so calm about this!?
Um.
Is. . .
Is she that scary of a person?
It’s not a question of being scary.
At all!
That woman has caused countless company presidents to be dropped by the
wayside.
TWITCH
She’s the original iron woman.
She eliminates anyone for whom she has no use.
No, she crushes them!!
. . .and she said. . .
You shitty old hag!
to this iron woman.
D. . .Did I say something like that?
You did.
You shitty old hag!
If your son is that precious to you, you should put him on a leash and tie it
to a pole!
If she came home to find her son going out with a poor girl,
I said it.
and this girl living in her house,
there’s no telling what she’d do next.

I said it, I said it, I remember it, already.
She’d crush her, of course.
What are you going to do, Tsukasa!?
What am I going to do?
There’s nothing I can really do.
H. . .Hey.
[I’m not even Makino and I feel exhausted by you. . .]
[Hey hey hey hey hey!]
Th-Thanks for not helping me out at all!
When my mother wants to do something, she does it.
She wouldn’t even let her kids stand in her way.
Only. . .
Isn’t it my job to protect her?
Tsukasa. . .
WELL UP
[You’ve grown up!]
. . .So cool!
How are you going to protect her?
That, I don’t know.
THUNK
Well, it’ll work itself out somehow.
Somehow!?
Why, you!
You’re being too naive!
Yeah! If something happens, you’ll be too late!
Rui! You say something, too!
Are you guys hungry?
SLIP
. . .Hmm.
It’s true, you can’t fight a war on an empty stomach.
Should we get some room service?
E. . .Excuse me?
[Everyone. . .?]
Hmm, I want fruit gratin.
Geh! That’s gross!
Akira, you never do eat the pineapple that comes with sweet-and-sour pork, do
you?
Of course! Fruit is fruit! A meal is a meal!
[Denied!!]
No! I want fruit gratin!
Don’t be so selfish, Rui!!
[I don’t want it!]
Fruit gratin sounds gross to me, too. . .wait, no.
These people. . .
are completely worthless!
[Don’t even bother with him.]
Tsukushi!
Come to my house!
You can stay as long as you want!
Bring your stuff over tonight.

You have to get out of the Doumyouji house as soon as possible.
Let’s hurry!
Come on!
. . .Yeah.
This is the weirdest situation ever.
Tsukushi, the station is this way!!
I’m still not sure about this going out thing.
Huh?
Where did those two go?
Me living at the Doumyouji house is like crossing the enemy line.
I’ll go home first and explain the situation to my parents.
GATAN GOTON
. . .Okay.
Thanks.
