A Bride for Rip Van Winkle Page #6

That is um...I'll fix it...

It looks okay.

Really? I'm sorry.

What is this?

Isn't it a new pet?

What is it this time?

I don't have a clue.

This here is...

An octopus.

It's so tiny!

An octopus?

Is this poisonous too?

Of course.

It's called a blue-ringed octopus.

- A blue-ringed octopus.

- Yes.

It has the same poison as a puffer fish.

You're safe if you don't eat puffer fish...

...but this critter bites.

So be sure not to touch it.

I understand.

I brought a little present for you, Nanami.

Oh, I'm fine, thanks.

There's nothing to worry about.

This one isn't poisonous.

It's called a "Betta"...

It's pretty.

They're easy to take care of.

Okay.

Give me a ring if you need anything.

- Thank you very much.

- Thank you.

And for the fish too.

Please take care of them.

Goodbye, then.

Have you gotten used to living here?

I'm still adjusting.

I understand.

But that looks suits you.

You're making me blush.

Really, it looks good.

The place is worth cleaning.

Really?

Would you like more tea?

Thank you.

I'll be right back.

Thank you.

Hey, listen...

Yes?

Do you like living with Mashiro?

It's a lot of fun.

Where are you now?

I'm at a friend's house.

Did you run away?

Not exactly.

Don't worry yourself.

Back to your work.

I'm back!

I'm home!

Welcome home.

Did I wake you?

You were sleeping and I woke you.

Am I an annoying woman?

Are you any FY?

You always come home late.

You're adorable.

Were you working?

Working hard.

I feel for you.

I know, I'm so worn out.

So tired.

Tough toughy 'Nb-

An octopus arrived today.

Some strange octopus.

An octopus?

It's poisonous and lethal so don't touch it.

That only makes you want to touch it.

You shouldn't.

Hey there you...

See?

You're in my way.

It's so cold!

Ok, now, out of the way.

Okay!

Isn't that enough?

I bet you're hungry.

I'm worn out.

Let's finish there.

Over there?

With our bikes?

Wait! Wait for me!

And I'm going home! Oh, I'm heading home!

Rolling, polling, rolling! Bye! Bye! Bye!

Come on, you can do it!

It's going out!

Ma...

...shi...

JO!

Write my name.

What's this?

Why are you sleeping here?

Is it your day off?

I'm sorry to bother you.

We've got more jellyfish now.

We don't have any more room.

Mashiro?

Mashiro, you've got a call.

Someone called Tsuneyoshi

is trying to call you.

Mashiro? What are you doing?

Can you hear me?

Where are you? Hello?

Hello.

Mashiro is sleeping.

Should I wake her up?

Who are you?

I live with her.

I see.

Wake her up right now.

The shoot has already started.

Please wake up Mashiro.

Mashiro?

Do you have a cold?

Should I take your temperature?

What's happening? What's wrong?

Mashiro has a fever

and I don't think she can move.

What should I do?

I'm heading over right now.

Okay.

Mashiro...

Are you alright?

- Where is she?

- Over here.

I'm really sorry.

Where?

On the sofa over there.

There she is.

Are you alright?

Hey!

She's got a fever.

Is there a hospital nearby?

I think so.

- Really?

- I'll take a look.

Never mind.

I'll take her to a place I know in Yokohama.

Okay.

Now, how should we get her up?

Two women...

Come here a second.

Okay.

Like this?

How should we do this?

This?

Will that work?

Then this?

What do you think?

Can I try carrying you?

Really?

Can we try it?

You're so thin. Are you sure?

Go ahead.

Here I go! Watch out!

No problem.

Here we go!

Sh*t! Scary!

- This works.

- Yes.

Lets go with this.

- Do you have her?

- Yes.

And here we go! Are you okay?

- She's not too heavy?

- I'm okay.

What's wrong? Is she too heavy?

She's light.

So I'm the heavy one?

No, um...

I think she's too light.

Let's head to the hospital.

Where are we going?

The hospital.

Hospital?

No, I have to go to work.

I already told them you're not coming.

I'm not going to the hospital!

Drive me to the set!

I already cancelled!

Stop the car!

I'm getting off!

Let me out!

Where do you think you're going?

I have to go to work.

Stop it! It's dangerous!

I'll feel better if I work!

You won't!

Let me out!

Calm down!

I need to go to work!

Let me out!

I need to work.

Where are you going?

I need to go to work!

Fine, I get it.

You're going to set, okay?

I'm going...

Okay, let's go.

Stand up.

Good morning.

Are you alright?

I'm fine, I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

- We'll bring her to make-up.

- Thank you.

Has she been eating?

I think so.

Properly?

I'm sure.

There's nothing unusual about her diet.

She's lost a lot of weight recently.

I wonder what's going on.

Maybe somethings wrong with her.

You haven't heard anything?

No, I haven't.

If she gets too thin,

she'll end up losing work.

Porn stars are better with curves.

...porn stars?

Maybe it's a fit over some guy...

I don't have a clue.

That feels better.

Thanks for your help.

It's fine.

Do you know what this place used to be?

I heard it used to be a restaurant.

But now it's a shooting studio.

A shooting studio?

Yup.

And now Mashiro lives here.

We did on a shoot here, maybe 6 months ago.

She fell in love with this place...

...so she's renting this place out.

But rent isn't cheap.

She'll go bankrupt

if she keeps going like this.

So Mashiro lives here?

You know she does.

She's paying rent?

Yeah, and it's crazy expensive.

Talk to her will you?

Tell her to find a cheaper place.

But I know she won't listen.

I'll be off then.

Thanks for your help.

Don't tell Mashiro what I said.

See you later!

Thank you very much.

First comes rock...

Paper, Scissors...Shoot!

Who are the winners?

Hold on.

I've got a phone call.

Who is it?

Hello?

Hello?

What's going on?

I'm listening.

Is Mashiro a porn star?

Didn't she tell you?

She is an actress, in a way.

What about it?

- Um...

- Yes?

Is Mashiro the one who is hiring me?

I can't give out that sort of information.

Please, tell me.

I can't.

It'd be a breach of contract.

I see...

I'm sorry...

...to burden you.

Please don't hang up.

Please give me one second.

Give me a hand!

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

No, no wait.

I don't want you to mention

these things to Mashiro.

Neither what I'm about to tell you.

Okay.

I want a friend...

...that was my client's request.

A...friend?

So that's my job?

If I told you this, it'd be quite unnerving.

That's why I brought it up as a maid job.

Why me?

Because I chose you, Nanami.

But Why?

Because I needed the money?

Because I thought you would be her friend.

Because...l trusted you would.

Well...

If you look beyond her profession...

...if you don't dwell on her past...

...everything will be fine.

So if you can stay with her...

I'll be right there.

I leave it to your imagination,

who this client is.

I have to go now, so I will talk to you later.

- Are you ok?

- Yes.

A doctor came to set today...

...and she was given an IV.

There you go now.

You did a good job today.

Great threesome!

- She did?

- Yes, she did.

She did really well.

You had a threesome?
