Hey, Kotone, let's play.
I have a mountain of work to do.
You should do some work, too.
I closed three deals today.
What?!
Fa's been closing lots of deals lately, thanks to her personality.
I guess she's no longer just a cute mascot in the workplace.
That's right! Fa is a go-getter!
Proud
Wow! That's great!
Me, on the other hand...
Gloom
Is something wrong?
I got scolded by a client today.
I introduced them to a property that's been vacant for a long time, and...
And?
No, never mind. I'll handle this by myself.
Ahem. It's okay to rely on us from time to time, you know.
Yeah.
You'll really do anything?! Thank you!
That's not what I said! You're exaggerating!
Sorry, I went a bit overboard.
So, where is this property?
Huh?
Let's go take a look now.
Let's go!
All right!
Property 7 Doors, Doors, Doors! Open the Door to Summer Vacation!
It's this house.
It's an impressive house.
Yeah, it doesn't seem like it has any issues.
Please take a look inside.
We're coming in!
As soon as you enter, it's doors, doors, doors!
Athletic House
You'd think this was a dream or something, right? No, it's reality.
This is reality.
Why did you repeat yourself?! That's annoying!
Opening the door to the bathroom reveals a staircase.
There's a wall behind this door!
What is this door for?
Nobody knows.
The landlord says the building was altered in this way without his knowledge.
What about the people who lived here?
They disappeared without paying their rent.
What?!
But look! You can exercise using the doors like this!
You say that as if it's a perk, but it's really not.
This is the living room.
It's normal.
It really is!
The chair is so fluffy!
Pop
Fa went into the wall!
What?!
That looks like fun! I want to try!
Stop enjoying this!
I'm sorry.
Fa, are you all right?
It's too dark. I can't see anything!
It's just a wall now. It won't budge.
Can you find a way out?
I'll try to find an exit.
Kotone, you recommended this property to a client?
That's quite bold.
Oh, it was nothing.
That wasn't a compliment.
I'm starting to enjoy this house, too!
Let's check out the rest of it!
Huh?
Eek! Who's there?!
Huh?
Oh, it's just a dummy.
But what if it was a real person?
Don't think about it!
I don't want to open any more doors.
Rufuria, please!
What?! I don't want to, either.
Please, please!
I said no!
I'll make your omelet rice bunny-shaped at dinner tonight!
Miss Rufuria won't be swayed by such a...
She opened it!
Huh? It goes outside?
Did you find something?
It was an exit.
What nice weather.
I wish we could just forget about this house and take a nap.
Don't try to run away from reality. We need to do something.
Right.
I feel as though I'm forgetting something.
Exit, exit...
I still can't see anything! Kotone! Rufuria! Rakira!
Fa?
Oh, I know!
This will help me see a bit better!
Oh, no! I started a fire!
I smell something burning.
A fire!
Oh, no!
Help!
Fa?!
W-Water! Kotone, don't you have any water magic?
I learned the basics in school!
Water!
That's not even enough for a cat to drink!
I'll call the fire squad!
R-Right!
Fa! Where are you?!
No point in bothering with the doors in this house.
I'll break the wall!
That was amazing, Miss Rakira! You could be a martial artist!
I gained a level!
Now?!
Fa!
Are you all right, Fa?
Let's get out of here right away.
Yes.
Is that...
Kotone! Hurry!
R-Right!
I'm glad you found her.
But the house... and Fa...
Hey, don't cry. It was just a small fire. Right?
Kotone...
Fa!
There, there.
That snot!
I'm sorry.
Miss Kotone.
Mr. Landlord!
I'm glad everyone is all right.
I'm so sorry. Not only did I fail to find a new tenant,
but I ruined the building.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry. This house needed to be heavily remodeled, anyway.
Oh? What's that hole?
Should I go down and check?
I would appreciate that.
Wh-What the...
So shiny!
A pile of treasure! What is it doing here?!
Incredible! Great job, you guys!
That was a stash of artwork stolen by a band of thieves!
What?!
So a thief lived here?
That must be why it was built to be hard to get into and easy to escape.
That also explains the hidden rooms and the dummy.
But why did the thieves leave the treasure behind?
Art tends to be easy to track.
Maybe they wanted to wait a bit and then carry it out later.
We checked the dry well nearby,
and it looked like they were trying to dig a hole.
I see! I'm so impressed you were able to figure that out.
Miss Sera, you're actually a competent person!
What does that mean?!
I'll let Lady Satona know about what happened today.
She's still on her expedition to find the dragon, though.
Oh...
If I could speak to Lady Satona, I could have asked her if Fa's behavior
while half-asleep is something she's always done.
I feel a little scared sometimes.
Sometimes I end up in places I don't remember going to.
Miss Kotone, you did start a fire, but you found stolen goods.
You might get half-punished and half-rewarded.
Don't die.
What's going to happen to me?!
Also, for the landlord,
the owners of the art sent a reward for finding their treasure.
A reward?!
Oh, wonderful! Now I can afford to remodel the house.
This is all thanks to Miss Kotone.
Oh, no, I didn't do anything...
Well, all's well that ends well, right?
Right.
Yeah! Good!
Yes!
I need to study more.
I was lucky everyone was there to help me and make a happy ending possible this time.
Kotone...
Aren't you coming to bed yet?
S-Sorry, did I wake you?
Don't worry! I know you're working hard. I support you!
Thank you! Fa, you're so cute!
Can I kiss you on the cheek?
That's a no.
Denied?!
Good morning!
Oh! A butterfly!
Kotone, can I schedule your summer vacation for next week?
We don't have any urgent matters. I want to reward you for your hard work.
I'll be your first long break since starting here.
Wow, thank you!
What will you do?
I'll go visit my family.
Oh, but what about you?
We'll take vacations in turns.
Our family homes are nearby.
It's not like we need a special occasion.
I'll be lonely without Kotone.
Oh, right... Fa doesn't have a family home to go back to.
You have us.
Yup.
Eh?
What do you mean, "Eh"?!
Now, now...
Well, do you want to come with me, Fa?
One Week Later
Luklun District, East Area
This is the town you lived in?
No, it's about one hour from here by horse carriage.
Flattened
I don't want to travel anymore!
We've only traveled four hours by airship and five hours by train.
Just hang in there a bit longer, Fa.
No!
So big!
This atmosphere is so relaxing.
There are so many tough-looking people here.
This area is still home to dangerous minotaurs,
so adventurers gather here.
That's scary.
Don't worry.
There's a gatekeeper who stops them from coming into the town.
I meant these people are scary!
Sorry! It's nothing! She didn't say anything!
From here we walk.
What?! More?!
Gree, gree.
Gree.
Hey, Momo! You came to pick me up?
Thank you!
Gree!
Hello, hello, Kotone! Long time no see!
Kotone Doesn't Understand This
I'm so glittering super happy to see you!
Momo seems to be very happy!
I missed you so much, my heart was whimpering!
...he says.
Yes! I'm so happy I can understand what you're saying, thanks to Fa!
Gree!
Kotone's Family Home
That's my house!
It's a big house.
Out here in the countryside, that's a normal size.
They all came out to greet you!
Yeah!
I'm home!
Welcome back, Kotone! You must be tired!
How is work? Are you doing well?
I made your favorite syrup dessert.
Great! Thank you!
I can understand anyone's speech, but not Grandpa's.
He's reminding us about the festival coming up and asking us if we want to go.
Kotone, that's amazing!
Big Sister.
Tsuzumi! Hibiki!
I missed you guys!
Did you get fired already, because you're such a klutz?
Were you removed?
No! I'm working hard!
Kotone.
I brought my friend Fa back with me.
I'm Fa. Nice to meet you!
Big Sister didn't come home just to see us?
We weren't told that she'd bring this girl with her.
How close are you to our big sister?
What's her favorite food? What's her favorite flower?
Sharp!
Her favorite food is star fruit, and her favorite flower is the Gustav!
She doesn't like celery and quietly pushes it aside on her plate!
She knows!
Grr...
Come, now. Let's continue this inside.
Wow, what a feast!
I baked the pumpkin pie!
I made the meat and cheese gratin!
Thank you!
Let's eat!
Delicious!
It is! You've both gotten better at cooking again!
I'm so proud to be your sister!
They're all so delicious!
Yeah!
Fa is amazing, too. She can understand any language!
That's wonderful!
I'm so proud to be her friend!
I didn't understand what Grandpa said, though!
Then maybe Fa can go get us the moonlight grass.
If only we had that, we could make a pretty pendant.
What are you talking about?
That's in a dangerous area. Don't even think about going!
Yes, it's dangerous!
But she can talk to anyone, right?
Yeah. Why can't she just ask the monsters for help?
Tsuzumi! Hibiki!
Sure!
Fa, no! Don't take them seriously!
We had a long trip today. Let's get lots of sleep.
Hey, Kotone, about that moonlight grass...
Don't worry about it.
I'm sorry. My sisters have a way of annoying people for fun.
Oh...
Well, goodnight.
What's the deal with Big Sister?!
We've been apart for so long, but she's devoting all her attention to Fa!
She won't go out to try to get the moonlight grass, will she?
No way! She won't be able to get through the gate!
Gree.
Was that Fa?!
Is she going in by air?
I don't see her. Did she go into the forest?
Maybe the monsters already...
Cut it out!
Gree?
Gree.
Momo!
Fa!
Oh, no... We did this to Big Sister's friend...
If only we hadn't said those things...
We're sorry! We're sorry!
Oh, hey, Tsuzumi, Hibiki!
I found the moonlight grass!
This is...
The moonlight grass...
I heard it has to be picked right when the sun rises, or it withers and dies.
So I took a nap while waiting for it!
That kind man right there taught me.
A minotaur?!
Mino.
Huh?
Mr. Minotaur isn't a bad person at all.
He fights only to protect the others from the adventurers.
He's kind to those who aren't hostile to him.
Do you live here?
Mino, mino.
He used to live here with his family, but they got captured by adventurers.
Now he's alone.
Oh, no...
That's so sad.
Mino.
He's asking if you want to have tea with him someday.
F-Fine, if you insist!
Th-Thank you.
Mino.
Now we're all friends!
Look! The sun is rising!
Hey, Fa?
Why did you take such a risk to get the moonlight grass for us?
To thank you for the delicious dinner!
I thought if I could make a pretty pendant, it would look good on both of you.
Now I know why Big Sister treats Fa so well.
Me, too... She's...
She's too cute!
Huh?
This is the first time I've seen moonlight grass.
It's so pretty!
Thank you, Fa.
We'll treasure this for the rest of our lives.
Okay!
Oh, it's that song!
Sleep for millennia
Our family starts singing this song whenever we feel good.
Flourishing lands
I'll sing, too!
The pure white rising dragon
Brings rainbow rain to the world
You learned the lyrics, too.
Share the fruit of life and live together
The earth will sprout with life
The red moon and the blue moon bring a purple night
Flourish forever, beyond the ocean of stars
I love this song! It feels so good!
Monsters, dragons, we all should live together, under the moon.
I understood what Grandpa said just now!
Did you enjoy staying with my family?
It was fun! I love your whole family!
Wait!
Big Sister! When are you coming home next?
Don't you dare make us feel lonely!
And bring Fa again next time!
I'll be back on my next vacation!
I'll come again!
And thus, my fun summer vacation was over in a flash.
After that, Tsuzumi and Hibiki...
Look! Monsters!
Hey, you!
Human girls, out here?!
We're trying to have tea!
So go away!
This is killing my buzz. Let's go.
Mr. Minotaur!
You're going to keep us company until our big sister comes back!
Mino.
...are getting along with their new friends in the forest. I'm so glad!
RPG Real Estate
There!
Morning.
Good morning.
Thank you for the vacation.
Here's some star fruit as a souvenir!
Thanks.
It looks like you were able to refresh.
Let's get you back to working hard!
Yes!
The star fruit really was delicious.
Yes. Kotone said they grow them on her family farm,
so she basically ate them non-stop.
Non-stop?!
And so, next episode:
