    All the food was delicious.
[00:24] ---
    Thanks for inviting me, Yoshida-kun.
[00:32] ---
    Um, Gotou-san...
[00:38] ---
    Would you like to come
    to my place after this?
[00:46] ---
    I'm sorry. I don't mention it at work,
[00:50] ---
    but I'm seeing someone.
[00:56] ---
    And so, my unrequited love came to an end.
[01:03] ---
    If you've got a man, then just say so!

[01:09] ---
    Hey, Yoshida, you're being too loud!
[01:11] ---
    Sorry, he's a little drunk.
[01:15] ---
    Cut it out.
[01:17] ---
    You dumbass! I'm not done being mad yet!
[01:22] ---
    I was wondering why you wanted
    to talk so suddenly.

[01:25] ---
    You just wanted to bitch
    about being rejected.
[01:27] ---
    Damn it! She said she'd been
    seeing the guy for five years!
[01:31] ---
    She tricked me!
[01:32] ---
    She stole my heart and won't give it back!
[01:37] ---
    Gimme another glass of beer!
[01:38] ---
    You're drinking too much.
[01:40] ---
    It's fine. We're off tomorrow!
[01:45] ---
    I'm heading home before the trains shut down.
[01:47] ---
    My wife's waiting for me.
[01:48] ---
    Fine!
[01:55] ---
    Damn it all. Gotou...
[02:23] ---
    Hey, you. Teenage girl.
[02:27] ---
    What are you doing out at this hour?
[02:30] ---
    Go home.
[02:32] ---
    There aren't any trains running.
[02:35] ---
    So are you gonna sit there all night?
[02:37] ---
    That sounds like it'd be pretty cold.
[02:39] ---
    So what will you do?
[02:51] ---
    Let me stay at your place, Mister.
[02:54] ---
    "Mister"—
[02:55] ---
    Listen. What kind of teenage girl wants
    to stay at the place of a man she's never met?
[03:02] ---
    But I don't have anywhere to go tonight.
[03:04] ---
    If you head back to the station, you
    can sleep at a karaoke place or internet café.
[03:08] ---
    I don't have any money.
[03:10] ---
    So I'm supposed to let you stay for free?
[03:13] ---
    Well...
[03:17] ---
    I'll let you do me, so let me stay.
[03:22] ---
    Are all teenage girls like this now?
[03:26] ---
    No, that's definitely not true.
[03:29] ---
    She's just weird!
[03:32] ---
    Don't say that, even as a joke.
[03:34] ---
    It's not a joke. I'm fine with it.
[03:37] ---
    Well, I'm not.
[03:39] ---
    I'm not sleeping with a little kid.
[03:43] ---
    Okay...
[03:45] ---
    Then let me stay for free!
[03:52] ---
    Hello!
[03:56] ---
    It's filthy.
[03:57] ---
    Why would a man living in a
    one-room apartment keep it clean?
[04:00] ---
    I've seen some that were clean.
[04:03] ---
    What?
[04:04] ---
    Uh, nothing...
[04:06] ---
    Don't get involved.
[04:08] ---
    No matter what kind of life she's lived,
    no matter where she was before she came here...
[04:13] ---
    It's not your problem!
[04:16] ---
    I'll kick her out in the morning,
    and then it'll be over.
[04:23] ---
    You're going to sleep?
[04:25] ---
    You do what you want.
[04:36] ---
    Hey, are you sure you don't want to do me?
[04:39] ---
    Don't make me repeat myself.
[04:41] ---
    I'm not into little kids.
[04:46] ---
    You're not.
[04:51] ---
    Anything else you want me to do, then?
[04:55] ---
    Miso soup.
[04:57] ---
    Miso soup... made by a woman...
[05:02] ---
    That's what I want.
[05:28] ---
    Oh, shit! I'm late.
[05:33] ---
    It's Sunday.
[05:36] ---
    What's this smell?
[05:38] ---
    Oh, you're finally awake.
[05:41] ---
    Good morning.
[05:43] ---
    What the hell are you?
[05:45] ---
    I'm not sure how to answer that.
    "A teenage girl"?
[05:49] ---
    What's a teenage girl doing in my house?
[05:52] ---
    I asked you to let me stay here,
    and you said it was okay.
[05:55] ---
    Who said it was okay?
[05:58] ---
    You did!
[05:59] ---
    I did not!
[06:01] ---
    You definitely did, Mister.
[06:07] ---
    Um... well.
[06:10] ---
    I didn't assault you or anything, right?
[06:23] ---
    Just kidding!
[06:25] ---
    I just wanted to tease you a little.
[06:28] ---
    You...
[06:30] ---
    You kept saying you didn't want
    to sleep with a little girl.
[06:34] ---
    Whew! Good work, last-night me!
[06:37] ---
    So I asked if there was anything else
    you wanted me to do, and...
[06:45] ---
    Miso soup?
[06:46] ---
    I made it.
[06:47] ---
    Don't make miso soup
    in other people's houses.
[06:52] ---
    What's that sigh?
[06:54] ---
    You told me to make it, Mister.
[06:56] ---
    Stop calling me that.
[06:58] ---
    So what would you like me to call you, then?
[07:03] ---
    I don't care what you call me. Just leave.
[07:07] ---
    You really don't remember anything?
[07:09] ---
    I was sitting under a lamp post last night,
    and you came up and talked to me.
[07:14] ---
    Last night? Lamp post?
[07:26] ---
    You remember?
[07:27] ---
    Black panties.
[07:29] ---
    What kind of answer is that?
[07:31] ---
    That's awful.
[07:32] ---
    I see.
[07:35] ---
    Mister, listen...
[07:36] ---
    I said...
[07:37] ---
    What's your name?
[07:40] ---
    Yoshida.
[07:42] ---
    Yoshida-san.
[07:44] ---
    That fits. You look like a Yoshida-san.
[07:48] ---
    What does that mean?
[07:49] ---
    Anyway, have some miso soup.
[07:51] ---
    We can talk then.
[07:53] ---
    Why are you telling me what to do?
[07:59] ---
    Eat up before it gets cold.
[08:06] ---
    It's good.
[08:10] ---
    You wanted Gotou-san to make it for you,
    didn't you?
[08:13] ---
    How did you know?
[08:15] ---
    You got rejected last night, right?
    You were mumbling about it in your sleep.
[08:24] ---
    Hey...
[08:27] ---
    Want me to make you feel better?
[08:37] ---
    I keep telling you to stop that.
[08:40] ---
    You're not fooling anyone.
[08:42] ---
    Listen, I'm not so far gone that I need
    a tiny little teenage girl to make me feel better.
[08:52] ---
    I think my boobs are pretty big.
[08:58] ---
    Well, they might be big for a teenager.
[09:02] ---
    But Gotou-san's are bigger.
[09:05] ---
    They are, huh?
[09:06] ---
    What cup size?
[09:08] ---
    I don't know, but probably F!
[09:12] ---
    F is the same size as me.
[09:14] ---
    Huh?! Those are F?
[09:16] ---
    Yeah.
[09:17] ---
    If they look bigger than these,
    they're probably a G or H.
[09:21] ---
    H-cup...
[09:23] ---
    I see.
[09:25] ---
    H-cup.
[09:27] ---
    I wish I could've stuck it between
    those H-cups, just once.
[09:31] ---
    But aren't F-cups you can touch
    worth more than H-cups you can't?
[09:39] ---
    Listen. Why are you trying
    so hard to seduce me?
[09:43] ---
    What if I really did it?
[09:46] ---
    Well, then we'd do it.
[09:48] ---
    You want to do it with me?
[09:51] ---
    No, not really.
[09:56] ---
    What is your problem?
[09:57] ---
    Plenty of men would do it!
[10:01] ---
    Then let me ask you...
[10:03] ---
    What?
[10:07] ---
    There's a girl in front of you
    who's willing to do it. Why won't you?
[10:14] ---
    Why are you making that face?
[10:16] ---
    You're the one who's not normal, Yoshida-san.
[10:19] ---
    I've never met a man who was willing
    to let me stay for nothing in return.
[10:33] ---
    Are you stupid?
[10:36] ---
    What's your name?
[10:39] ---
    Sayu.
[10:43] ---
    Where are you from? Show me your student ID.
SIGN    Asahikawa High School 6
[10:48] ---
    Asahikawa?!
[10:50] ---
    You came all the way from Hokkaido alone?
[10:51] ---
    Yeah.
[10:53] ---
    When did you leave Hokkaido?
[10:56] ---
    Six months ago, I think.
[10:58] ---
    Did you tell your parents?
[11:01] ---
    No...
[11:03] ---
    Then get your ass back home.
[11:05] ---
    I'm fine.
[11:08] ---
    I'm sure they're happy I'm gone.
[11:12] ---
    What the hell?
[11:14] ---
    You sure don't look fine to me.
[11:17] ---
    You don't know that.
[11:21] ---
    I do.
[11:24] ---
    If you don't want to go home,
    or go to school,
[11:28] ---
    how are you going to survive?
[11:30] ---
    I'll work out a way to stay
    at somebody's house.
[11:32] ---
    And how will you "work out a way"?
[11:36] ---
    Don't insult me.
[11:39] ---
    I don't know how any other guys felt,
[11:42] ---
    but I don't have the slightest
    interest in your body.
[11:47] ---
    What will you do if I kick you out?
[11:49] ---
    I-I'll find another place to stay, somehow.
[11:52] ---
    How, specifically?
[11:57] ---
    Well...
[12:01] ---
    Why don't you get it?
[12:07] ---
    Work.
[12:10] ---
    All the other kids who drop
    out of school make money to live.
[12:15] ---
    But I can't pay rent
    with just a part-time job.
[12:19] ---
    Then live here.
[12:22] ---
    But...
[12:25] ---
    No money. No place to live.
[12:27] ---
    So you'll just go around seducing guys?
[12:30] ---
    I'm going to knock the stupid
    right out of you.
[12:34] ---
    You keep calling me stupid.
[12:36] ---
    Well, 'cause you're stupid!
    You're as dumb as a rock.
[12:38] ---
    You're a spoiled little brat
    who doesn't know what things are worth.
[12:44] ---
    Why?
[12:46] ---
    Why couldn't she have a normal life
[12:49] ---
    and a normal love?
[12:57] ---
    First, you're doing all the chores here.
    That's your job.
[13:02] ---
    Listen. Right now we need
    to work out our living space.
[13:07] ---
    I don't want you making a mess of things.
[13:11] ---
    You're making it sound like
    I can stay here forever.
[13:15] ---
    Not forever.
[13:17] ---
    When you're done being a runaway,
    get your ass back home.
[13:21] ---
    But I can stay here until then?
[13:23] ---
    It would've been hard, but there were other,
    healthier ways to make a living
[13:29] ---
    than trying to seduce men
    into letting her stay.
[13:31] ---
    But for some reason,
    she forgot that a long time ago.
[13:36] ---
    And over the past few minutes it's
    clear that she's totally spoiled.
[13:42] ---
    If I don't watch my mouth,
    she may end up staying here for years.
[13:49] ---
    You can stay here until you learn
    to stop being a spoiled brat.
[13:54] ---
    But the next time you try to seduce me,
    I'm kicking you out!
[13:59] ---
    O-Okay!
[14:02] ---
    And thus began a strange chapter
[14:05] ---
    in the lives of a runaway girl
    and a 26-year-old salaryman.
[14:10] ---
    But in that moment,
[14:12] ---
    I didn't realize how hard it is
    to live with a teenage girl.
[14:21] ---
    Is that what happened after that?!
[14:24] ---
    Keep your voice down!
[14:26] ---
    Listen, that's not good.
[14:29] ---
    Is there a missing-persons report out on her?
[14:31] ---
    I looked online and didn't see a thing.
[14:37] ---
    But you can't just take in a runaway teen
    without knowing what her deal is.
[14:41] ---
    Yeah, it's pretty risky, actually.
[14:48] ---
    Did she eat?
[14:53] (Flashback) ---
    Well, just don't get too attached.
[14:57] (Flashback) ---
    You should send her back to her parents
    before it becomes a problem.
[15:01] ---
    I know that, but...
[15:06] (Flashback) ---
    I'm sure they're happy I'm gone.
[15:10] ---
    She's still just a teen.
    She shouldn't be making a face like that.
[15:21] ---
    Miso soup?
[15:24] ---
    Welcome back, Daddy!
[15:26] ---
    Stop it. That's gross.
[15:30] ---
    But I've only made miso soup so far.
[15:35] ---
    I bought us bento. You'll eat one, too, right?
[15:45] ---
    She ironed them?
[15:48] ---
    She's better at chores than I thought.
[16:00] ---
    Thank you for the meal.
[16:04] ---
    What's wrong, Yoshida-san?
[16:06] ---
    Nothing.
[16:08] ---
    Anyway, where's the ashtray?
[16:12] ---
    Sorry, I washed it
    with the rest of the dishes.
[16:15] ---
    I see. Thanks.
[16:22] ---
    What?
[16:23] ---
    Why are you going out to the patio?
    You can smoke here.
[16:27] ---
    Because you're here.
[16:32] ---
    You're nice.
[16:33] ---
    Nice?
[16:35] ---
    It's just... All the other guys smoked
    without worrying about me.
[16:41] ---
    Why is she getting all her
    values from loser guys?
[16:49] ---
    Sayu!
[16:51] ---
    Listen up! I'm not nice. They were shit.
[16:55] ---
    Get that straight.
[16:57] ---
    Have standards for yourself.
    And for everything else.
[17:01] ---
    Okay.
[17:09] ---
    I keep looking at her as if I'm her guardian.
[17:13] ---
    I don't know how anybody
    could get hard looking at that.
[17:20] ---
    Part of what made her such a mess
    is that she's spoiled.
[17:27] ---
    But I'm sure there were grown-ups
    and an environment that made it worse.
[17:35] ---
    The whole world's full of shitheads.
[17:37] ---
    Everybody.
[17:40] ---
    Including me. I'm letting her stay spoiled.
    Giving her a place to run to.
[17:47] ---
    And what do I even want to do?
SIGN    Alarm
[17:59] ---
    Sorry, I left my alarm on,
    even though it's my day off.
[18:03] ---
    It's okay.
[18:05] ---
    I was going to get up
    and do the laundry early anyway.
[18:11] ---
    Ow...
SIGN    Metropolitan Police arrested a man in Musashino for abduction
    of a minor on suspicion of kidnapping a 17-year old girl.
[18:17] ---
    'Scuse me!
[18:22] ---
    I just saw your panties.
[18:24] ---
    It's a skirt. I can't help it!
[18:27] ---
    You've been wearing your uniform
    this whole time, haven't you?
[18:30] ---
    It's all I have.
[18:32] ---
    And I wash it, so it's not dirty.
[18:35] ---
    It's weird to have you
    wearing a uniform here, though.
[18:41] ---
    It's fine. Let's go home, Yoshida-san.
[18:44] ---
    You're not fine. Just get some new clothes.
[18:47] ---
    All you've got is this uniform, right?
[18:50] ---
    So you're buying clothes.
[18:53] ---
    And I'm buying a new futon.
[18:56] ---
    You wake up rubbing your back
    and saying "ow" every morning.
[19:00] ---
    I was doing that?
[19:02] ---
    You sure were.
[19:05] ---
    But...
[19:07] ---
    But...
[19:10] ---
    If you do all that for me,
    I won't know how to repay you.
[19:18] ---
    So that's it?
[19:20] ---
    She's not trying to be modest.
    She can't take it, because she can't repay me.
[19:26] ---
    Why does a kid think like that?
[19:31] ---
    I'm pretty busy.
[19:33] ---
    So I can't spend time on chores.
[19:37] ---
    But you're doing it all, right?
[19:40] ---
    This past week or so,
    it's been a lot easier for me at home.
[19:46] ---
    Is that not enough?
[19:51] ---
    If you're okay with it, then I am.
[19:56] ---
    Okay, that's how it is, then.
[20:00] ---
    It's so comfy!
[20:02] ---
    It's better to have a futon, right?
[20:05] ---
    Yeah! I'll sleep great tonight.
[20:11] ---
    Yoshida-san.
[20:14] ---
    Want to sleep with me?
[20:16] ---
    Hey! I told you if you tried
    to seduce me again, I'd kick you out!
[20:21] ---
    I didn't say a word
    about doing anything dirty.
[20:29] ---
    You're such a perv.
[20:34] ---
    Hey...
[20:36] ---
    You're cuter when you laugh.
[20:42] ---
    Wh-Why are you hitting on me?
[20:45] ---
    I told you. You're not my type.
[20:50] ---
    Yoshida-san...
[20:53] ---
    Thanks.
[20:58] ---
    There's a rumor going around
    that you got a girlfriend.
[21:02] ---
    What the hell?
[21:04] ---
    You're going home
    right at quitting time every day.
[21:06] ---
    You're cleaner. Your shirts are ironed.
[21:10] ---
    Your face has more color to it,
    and you're doing a better job at work, they say.
[21:16] ---
    The girls were saying that.
[21:18] ---
    What the hell?
[21:22] ---
    It's actually a teenage girl, though.
[21:28] ---
    Yeah, I guess.
[21:30] ---
    A runaway girl sounds like somebody
    who's kind of ditzy.
[21:33] ---
    But maybe she has her act together.
[21:35] ---
    Yeah, that's true.
[21:41] ---
    Yeah, she's not my type, physically.
[21:46] ---
    But she's pretty cute.
[21:49] ---
    She can do chores and she's friendly.
[21:52] ---
    So why run away?
[21:55] ---
    And come all the way to Tokyo?
[22:10] ---
    Yoshida-san, your facial hair.
[22:12] ---
    Don't you want to shave it?
[22:16] ---
    Not today. I'm too lazy.
[22:18] ---
    Some days you shave,
    and sometimes you don't.
[22:20] ---
    Is there a reason?
[22:22] ---
    Nope. I just shave it
    when it gets long.
[22:25] ---
    And you don't think that's long?
[22:30] ---
    Maybe I will shave it.
[22:31] ---
    Which is it?
[22:33] ---
    Well, it makes me feel old.
[22:37] ---
    Why?
[22:39] ---
    When I just turned twenty, I would shave it
    any time it got even the slightest bit long.
[22:45] ---
    And I'd try really hard
    not to miss any spots.
[22:49] ---
    Having facial hair is kind
    of a symbol of being old.
[22:54] ---
    But I think that's wrong.
[22:56] ---
    Wrong?
[22:59] ---
    When you get too lazy to shave
    your facial hair is when you're old.
[23:06] ---
    Yoshida-san.
[23:09] ---
    That facial hair doesn't
    look that good on you.
[23:11] ---
    Nobody asked you.
[23:13] ---
    Yoshida-san, you'll be late.
[23:18] ---
    I know!
[23:23] ---
    I guess I will shave it.
