    Tada!

    Or... so I thought.

    Good morning, Miss Kobayashi.

[03:59] Kobayashi
    Oh, sure, come inside.

[04:04] Kobayashi
    So we met yesterday,
    and I offered to let you stay here?
SIGN    Miss Kobayashi
[04:08] Kobayashi
    Uh, Tohru-san? That's what I said?
[04:11] Tohru
    Yes!
SIGN    Tohru
[04:13] K
    Strange. I'm not waking up from this dream.
[04:16] K
    It's not a dream?
[04:18] K
    No, no...
[04:21] K
    Um...
[04:22] K
    Where did we meet?
[04:23] Tohru
    The mountains!
[04:24] Tohru
    We met in the mountains!
[04:27] K
    The mountains?
[04:30] K
    Mountains...
[04:33] K
    In the mountains...
[04:37] K
    A dragon?
[04:40] K
    Then...

    Uh...

    Want to come to my place?
[04:53] T
    I'll never forget those kind words!
[04:56] T
    Please allow me to start
    working here as your maid!
[05:00] K
    You can't.
[05:01] T
    Huh?
[05:02] K
    I don't know if you're a dragon or whatever,
    but I'm not planning on hiring anyone.
[05:08] T
    I-I wouldn't need any pay!
[05:10] K
    No, that's not the problem...
[05:11] T
    I can be useful!

    I can turn this entire area into a sea

[05:17] K
    No, no, no!
[05:18] K
    Though, why a maid?
[05:20] T
    Because you said a maid would be best!
[05:22] K
    I did?
[05:28] K
    Oh, right.
[05:33] K
    I'm sorry I made a promise I can't keep.
[05:36] K
    But I hope you'll understand...
[05:38] K
    I can't change the impossible.
[05:46] T
    It's absolutely impossible?
[05:49] K
    Yeah, I'm sorry.
[05:55] T
    Understood.
[05:57] T
    My apologies as well, for
    dropping in so suddenly.
[06:14] (Flashback) K
    Want to come to my place?
[06:18] K

[06:54] K
    You're damn fast!
[07:02] K
    I guess I'll hire her.

    Really?!
[07:04] K
    So you can hear me.
[07:08] K
    Maybe it won't be so bad to have
    someone around from now on.
[07:12] K
    Thinking that way—
[07:15] K
    This really hits my lower back.
[07:21] K
    Ahem.
[07:23] K
    First, let's see what you consider
    proper form for a maid.

[07:35] T
    I saw it on the way here.
[07:37] K
    Looks like I'll have to
    teach you from scratch.
[07:39] K
    First, as a housemaid, you clean!
[07:42] T
    I'm good at cleaning!
[07:46] T
    How's that?!
[07:47] K
    What are you doing destroying it?!
[07:48] T
    Now I bring it back.
[07:50] K
    You can bring it back?!
[07:50] K
    Next! Laundry maid!
[07:52] K
    You do laundry!

[08:09] T
    We have nothing for foolish,
    inferior humans like you!
[08:12] K
    Hey!
[08:13] T
    Oh, you're an exception
    of course, Miss Kobayashi!
[08:16] K
    Last one! Kitchen maid!
[08:18] K
    You cook!
[08:19] T
    I'm the best at that!
[08:21] T
    Here's my roasted tail!
[08:24] K
    No way.
[08:24] T
    Huh?
[08:26] K
    No way.
[08:27] T
    Wha?!
[08:28] T
    Should I have roasted it longer?
[08:30] K
    That's not the problem.
[08:31] T
    I'm confident you'll enjoy
    it, Miss Kobayashi!
[08:33] K
    It doesn't work ethically
    or physiologically.
[08:35] T
    Oh, I see. So you're a picky eater, then?
[08:38] K
    You're biased.
[08:39] T
    Jeez, you're hopeless.
[08:45] K
    It grew back?!
[08:46] T
    It took time to remove the poison, you know!
[08:49] K
    It's poisonous?!
[08:50] K
    Hmm, you don't even know the
    basics of being a maid.
[08:55] T
    I'll learn from the ground up!
[08:56] T
    First, please tell me what you dislike!
[08:59] K
    What I dislike?
[09:01] K
    I'm no good with hijiki or eggplant.
[09:03] T
    I see. I'll remember that.
[09:05] T
    By the way, I dislike eggs
    without yolks myself.
[09:09] T
    My friend, Herensuge,
    was hit with one and killed.
[09:12] K
    That's surreal.
[09:13] K
    Wait, why are you asking about my dislikes?
[09:16] K
    Wouldn't you usually ask what I like?
[09:18] T
    Oh, I can't do that.
[09:20] T
    Many of my friends were actually
    slain using the things they like.
[09:24] T
    Like liquor, women, gems, and such.
[09:26] K
    Not much different from humans.
[09:28] T
    But I'll let you know this one.
[09:31] T
    I love you, Miss Kobayashi!
[09:34] K
    Are you planning to eat me?
[09:35] T
    I don't mean that way! I mean sexually!
[09:38] K
    I'm a woman, though?
[09:40] T
    You saved me, Miss Kobayashi!
[09:42] T
    So I'll use my entire
    being to repay the favor!
[09:45] T
    I'd like you to use me to commute
    to work again tomorrow!
[09:48] K
    I had enough of that today. You're hard.
[09:51] T
    Please give me a chance!
[09:53] T
    I was raised to repay all favors,
    even if owed to foolish, inferior humans!
[09:58] K
    You said "foolish, inferior" again.
[10:01] K
    Tohru. There's a reason I
    won't use you to commute.
[10:06] T
    Your lower back?
[10:07] K
    That's half the reason.
[10:09] K
    The other half is...
[10:12] K
    You stand out!
[10:14] K
    I think dragons are better
    left holding down the fort!
[10:17] T
    Holding the fort?!
[10:19] K
    You're one of the stronger
    dragons, right, Tohru?
[10:21] T
    Strong enough to bring about Armageddon.
[10:23] K
    Don't bring it about.
[10:25] K
    The world's more dangerous lately.
[10:28] K
    It'll be a relief to know you're
    here keeping the house safe.
[10:32] T
    Understood! Leave it to me!
[10:35] K
    Simple-gon.
[10:37] K
    Well, I'm off to the office.
[10:39] K
    If anybody calls, please answer.
[10:42] T
    Calls?
[10:43] K
    Oh, right.
[10:45] K
    This is a phone.
[10:46] K
    When it rings, pick it up like this.
[10:49] K
    Then...
[10:51] T
    Understood!
[10:52] K
    Okay, take care.
[10:53] T
    Have a safe trip!
[10:56] T
    Holding the fort?
[11:01] T
    What were those people doing anyway?
[11:04] T
    I guess I'll ask Fafnir-san.
[11:07] Fafnir
    Kill them.
[11:08] Fafnir
    Kill all who try to steal your treasure.
[11:11] Fafnir
    Kill all you suspect.
[11:13] Fafnir
    Kill them with curses.
[11:14] Fafnir
    Curse their generations to come—
[11:16] T
    That's helpful!
[11:17] T
    All right, time to do my best to
    earn Miss Kobayashi's praise!
[11:25] Thief
    The person living here is away at this hour.
[11:28] Thief
    Let's finish this quickly.
[11:29] Thief
    There.
[11:45] Thief
    Protect us!
[11:47] Thief
    We saw one!
[11:48] Police
    Saw what?
[11:48] Thief
    A monster!
[11:50] K
    I'm home.
[11:52] T
    Welcome home!
[11:53] K
    Hold the fort down well?
[11:55] T
    I was lonely.
[11:56] K
    Hmm.
[11:57] T
    I didn't get to kill them either.
[11:58] K
    Mhmm. Wait, what?!

[12:53] T
    Nice to meet you, too.

    We were just talking about

    Kobayashi-dono!
[14:45] M
    I agree Tohru-tan's a cosplay-level maid!

    She's just like those foreigners
    pretending to be ninja or samurai!
[14:50] K
    That's right!

    I'll acknowledge the cuteness
    of the Gothic lolita trend,

    fashion may acknowledge one another,

    they should be more careful
    about blending together!
[15:03] M
    In the first place, maid costumes like
    hers spread throughout Japan because...
[15:04] T
    This has gone beyond joining or
    not joining the conversation.
[15:08] K
    Hey, Tohru!
[15:10] K
    We're giving you some high-level maid
    conversations, so talk. Got it?
[15:16] T
    I-I'm sorry.

    Tohru-tan, those horns of yours really
    raise the cosplay level, too...

[15:47] M
    I'm sorry, Tohru-chan.
[15:49] M
    I usually go drinking with
    Kobayashi-san to chat about maids.
[15:53] M
    I'm secretly an otaku, so outings
    like this are very precious to me.
[15:58] T
    Yes, I understand.
[16:00] T
    In exchange, I'll be surprising you a bit.
[16:18] M
    We'll say I drank too much.
[16:20] M
    You really like Kobayashi-san, huh?
[16:24] T
    Yes.
[16:27] T
    Though I hate you.
[16:52] T
    So humans all soil their
    clothes with waste products?
[16:57] T
    Inferior species!
[16:59] T
    Miss Kobayashi's waste...
[17:03] T
    Hmm, none left.
[17:07] K
    I told you before, didn't I?
[17:09] K
    Stop licking the laundry.
[17:11] T
    Yes.
[17:12] T
    From now on I'll handle it by licking
    you directly, Miss Kobayashi.
[17:14] K
    Don't lick me.
[17:15] K
    Also, there's the way you do laundry!
[17:17] T
    Am I doing it wrong?
[17:18] K
    You are!
[17:19] K
    Try listing the steps for doing laundry.
[17:21] T
    Yes.
[17:22] T
    First, I use my clairvoyance
    to check inside your pockets.
[17:25] K
    Okay.
[17:26] T
    Then I separate them into
    plain and patterned piles,
[17:26] T
    Hurry up and finish!
[17:28] T
    and wash them using separate detergents.
[17:29] K
    Good.
[17:31] T
    Then I wash the delicate fabrics by mouth.
[17:33] K
    Hey!
[17:33] T
    I told you, I produce saliva
    that removes stains.
[17:35] K
    No!
[17:36] K
    I told you appearances are important!
[17:38] T
    Ah, so you mean I should do it like this?
[17:40] K
    That's not the problem here!
[17:41] K
    Also, Tohru!
[17:43] K
    You're always wearing the
    same uniform, aren't you?
[17:45] K
    You can't. You need to change, too.
[17:47] T
    But these are my scales.
[17:48] K
    Scales?!
[17:50] T
    Yes, so I don't need to change.
[17:53] K
    Oh, I see.
[17:55] T
    What's the matter?
[17:58] K
    Oh, well.
[18:00] K
    I bought you some personal clothes, anyway.
[18:05] T
    Thank you very much!
[18:07] K
    Well, you are doing a lot for me,
     so I wanted to thank you.
[18:11] T
    Ah...
[18:12] T
    Miss Kobayashi,
    would you like a sacrifice later?
[18:16] T
    Would you like to drink my fresh blood?
[18:17] K
    Am I a demon?!

    Heavens no! You're an angel!
[18:21] T
    Oh, but please don't start serving God.

    Hmm, I still don't quite get it.
[19:11] T
    I'll ask Fafnir-san again.
[19:14] F
    Kill th—
[19:15] T
    Let's not.
[19:17] T
    I'll ask knowledgeable Quetzalcoatl instead.
[19:21] T
    Hello, Lucoa-san?
[19:23] L
    Tohru-kun? It's been a while.
[19:26] Tohru
    Actually, blah blah, yadda yadda.
[19:27] L
    Mhmm...
[19:30] L
    That's not a problem of clean or filthy, no.
[19:33] T
    Huh?
[19:34] L
    You remember Nidhogg-kun, right?
[19:36] T
    Umm, the one gnawing a
    tree's roots all year long?
[19:38] Lucua
    The world tree's, yeah.
[19:39] Lucua
    No matter how much Nidhogg-kun's
    poisonous fangs pollute it,
[19:42] Lucua
    the goddesses purify it,
    so the tree stays clean. But...
[19:46] T
    Yes?
[19:47] L
    What happens to the spots he gnaws?
[19:50] T
    Ah...
[19:51] T
    I think he still leaves something
    behind. Like a curse or something.
[19:54] L
    Yeah, that's right.
[19:56] L
    This Miss Kobayashi you speak
    of is worried about that.
[19:59] T
    I see now! Thank you very much!
[20:01] L
    Tohru-kun,
[20:03] L
    are you having fun living with people?
[20:08] T
    Yes!
[20:14] T
    The laundry won't dry at this rate, will it?
[20:18] T
    All right.
[20:49] K
    That Tohru...
[20:51] K
    I guess I still need to
    teach her a lot of things.
[20:54] ---
    What?
[20:56] Kanna
    That breath...
[20:57] Kanna
    I found you.
[21:08] T
    Inhaling the scent's okay, right?
[21:15] K
    You don't need to sleep?
[21:17] T
    No. But I want to sleep
    with you, so I'll sleep!
[21:21] K
    Do as you please, then.
[21:23] T
    Yes, I will!
[21:27] K
    Well, good night.
[21:29] T
    Yes, good night.
[21:41] K
    It's cramped.
[21:43] T
    I can't?
[21:45] K
    Well, it's fine.
[22:33] K
    What's wrong?
[22:35] T
    I was fighting. In another world.
[22:39] T
    A sword ran through my body.
[22:43] K
    Did it hurt?
[22:45] T
    It hurt.
[22:47] K
    Does it still hurt?
[22:48] T
    It doesn't hurt now.
[22:51] K
    That's good, then.
[22:53] K
    Good night.
[22:59] T
    Good night.
