42. The world's talking about
IT and Internet lately,Copy !req
43. and it's getting really advanced.Copy !req
44. It seems like the world's easier to live in.Copy !req
45. The most amazing thing is this persocom.Copy !req
46. They made it look just like people.Copy !req
47. I don't know much about it...Copy !req
48. but apparently, it can do a lot of things.Copy !req
49. Nobody had a persocom
when I lived out in the country.Copy !req
50. Persocoms are so nice.Copy !req
51. I want one.Copy !req
52. There's no way I can buy one of these!Copy !req
53. —A performance?
—What is he?Copy !req

—Mom!Copy !req
55. Don't make eye contact.Copy !req
56. I'm so embarrassed!Copy !req
57. I have to stop talking to myself.Copy !req
58. The only things around me
until now were horses and cows.Copy !req
59. But persocoms really do look like humans.Copy !req
60. And they're really cute.Copy !req
61. But well, they're too expensive.Copy !req
62. Is everyone okay with that?Copy !req
63. Does everyone in urban areas have the money?Copy !req
64. Poor college students-to-be can't buy them?Copy !req
65. Is that it?Copy !req
66. Damn it!Copy !req
67. I want a persocom, too!Copy !req
68. I wanna e-mail!Copy !req
69. I want to see those Internet porn sites!Copy !req
70. Porn?Copy !req
71. Um, uh, well...Copy !req
72. What did I say in front
of such a beautiful lady?Copy !req
73. Oh, that's right.Copy !req
74. I-I'm looking for an apartment.Copy !req
75. Um, do you know this place?Copy !req
76. It has a strange name like "Gub Jogasaki"...Copy !req
77. This is the place.Copy !req
78. Oh.Copy !req
79. This is Gub Jogasaki.Copy !req
80. Oh, this is...Copy !req
81. You must be Hideki Motosuwa.Copy !req
82. Y-Yes.Copy !req
83. I'm Chitose Hibiya, the building's manager.Copy !req
84. Your room is here.Copy !req
85. Yes.Copy !req
86. The water and gas can already be used.Copy !req
87. The circuit breakers are here.Copy !req
88. So small...Copy !req
89. But I can't help it.Copy !req
90. It's barely over 20,000 yen a month.Copy !req
91. I put all the packages you sent in your room...Copy !req
92. Was that all right?Copy !req
93. Yes, thank you very much.Copy !req
94. Oh, but they were really heavy, right?Copy !req
95. I'm sorry for all these cardboard boxes.Copy !req
96. No, Mr. Shinbo carried all the boxes for me.Copy !req
97. Mr. Shinbo?Copy !req
98. I think he'll be back at any moment now.Copy !req
99. He's your neighbor in room 204.Copy !req
100. I see.Copy !req
101. I'll have to thank him later.Copy !req
102. Well, I'm very pleased to meet you.Copy !req
103. The pleasure's all mine.Copy !req
104. Yes, yes.Copy !req
105. She really was a beautiful manager.Copy !req
106. She said she lived in room 101...Copy !req
107. Maybe I'm lucky to live in the same
apartment with someone like her.Copy !req
108. Yes?Copy !req
109. Maybe it's her!Copy !req
110. Yes?Copy !req
111. Congrats! Congrats!Copy !req
112. Congrats on moving in!Copy !req
113. What is this?Copy !req
114. Master, he's scary!Copy !req
115. Sorry, didn't mean to surprise you.Copy !req
116. U-Um...Copy !req
117. I don't think we've met.
I'm Hiromu Shinbo.Copy !req
118. I live next door in 204.Copy !req
119. Oh, you're the one
who carried all my stuff.Copy !req
120. —Yup.
—Oh, Mr. Shinbo...Copy !req
121. Thank you very much!Copy !req
122. "Shinbo" is fine.Copy !req
123. Quit the polite stuff.Copy !req
124. How old are you?Copy !req
125. Oh, I'm 18.Copy !req
126. We're the same age!Copy !req
127. You're 18?Copy !req
128. And you're going to Seki Prep
School starting next week, right?Copy !req
129. I am, too.Copy !req
130. Losers.Copy !req
131. Really?Copy !req
132. Really.Copy !req
133. Nice to meet you.Copy !req
134. Yeah!Copy !req
135. So what's this thing?Copy !req
136. Oh, it's my persocom.Copy !req
137. It's tiny!Copy !req
138. It's a mobile one.Copy !req
139. I see...Copy !req
140. —Introduce yourself.
—Okay!Copy !req
141. I'm Sumomo. Nice to meet you.Copy !req
142. Amazing! Amazing!Copy !req
143. Scary!Copy !req
144. What's with the huge reaction?Copy !req
145. Don't have a mobile one?Copy !req
146. Or rather, I don't have one, period.Copy !req
147. That's unusual these days.Copy !req
148. Even if I bought one,
I don't know how to use it.Copy !req
149. They move as long as you switch them on.Copy !req
150. The OS takes care of everything else.Copy !req
151. You know a lot. You an expert?Copy !req
152. —As much as others.
—So are they great?Copy !req
153. Sure, I can make phone calls with Sumomo...Copy !req
154. I can get e-mail from her, too.Copy !req
155. The Internet?Copy !req
156. Yeah, and porn sites, of course.Copy !req
157. I see, even porn sites!Copy !req
158. Porn sites are the basics!Copy !req
159. Porn sites! Porn sites!Copy !req
160. Shall I warm it for you?Copy !req
161. P-Please.Copy !req
162. At your request.Copy !req
163. When it is done, I will call you,
so please sit down and wait.Copy !req
164. S-Sure.Copy !req
165. Thank you very much!Copy !req
166. But persocoms really are amazing.Copy !req
167. They even handle registers.Copy !req
168. Shinbo's was named Sumomo...Copy !req
169. I didn't know such things existed.Copy !req
170. He said he could make phone calls with it.Copy !req
171. I'm jealous.Copy !req
172. But though I want one, they're expensive.Copy !req
173. And I don't even know
where to begin with persocoms.Copy !req
174. First of all, I wouldn't know what to do.Copy !req
175. Well, I'll look at porn sites.Copy !req
176. Persocoms are great...Copy !req
177. Since they're shaped like people,Copy !req
178. why can't there be a really,
really cute one just lying around?Copy !req
179. Of course, that'd never happen...Copy !req
180. Someone's dead!Copy !req
181. Murder? Is it murder? Is it really murder?Copy !req
182. Will I be in a criminal case
the day I move to Tokyo?Copy !req
183. Well, what do I do?Copy !req
184. Tell the police first? An ambulance?Copy !req
185. Let's see...Copy !req
186. Those ears...Copy !req
187. I saw the same ones across the
station at the electronics store.Copy !req
188. Don't surprise me.Copy !req
189. I thought it was some
ghastly murder or something.Copy !req
190. Sheesh.Copy !req
191. Well, I need to get back
so I can clean up my room.Copy !req
192. Wait.Copy !req
193. This is a persocom, and this is the trash area.Copy !req
194. Which means this is a piece of trash.Copy !req
195. And that means I can take this, right?Copy !req
196. Right? Right? Right?Copy !req
197. Or rather, it's better to
decrease so-called industrial waste.Copy !req
198. They emit dioxins of all sorts,Copy !req
199. and carbon dioxide for
holes in the ozone layer.Copy !req
200. Huh?Copy !req
201. Heavy...Copy !req
202. T-This is the weight of a persocom?Copy !req
203. It's so heavy I might be squashed to death...Copy !req
204. I didn't know persocoms
were such heavy things.Copy !req
205. I see, so this is what he meant
by "heavy or light upon booting."Copy !req
206. Shinbo said his was a cinch...Copy !req
207. I guess mobile ones are really light.Copy !req
208. But looking at this...Copy !req
209. it's really no different from human girls.Copy !req
210. It's pretty...Copy !req
211. And soft...Copy !req
212. Or rather, isn't this still brand new?Copy !req
213. Thrown away for a new model?Copy !req
214. What a waste of money...Copy !req
215. I'll make good use of you.Copy !req
216. Now, I guess I'll start using it!Copy !req
217. Uh, what was it?Copy !req
218. Shinbo said push a switch and they move.Copy !req
219. Switch... Switch...Copy !req
220. Switch... Switch... Switch...Copy !req
221. Where is it?Copy !req
222. I don't know.Copy !req
223. Where's the switch?Copy !req
224. I don't have anywhere else to push!Copy !req
225. I pushed here and here!Copy !req
226. And here and here!Copy !req
227. Even here...Copy !req
228. I've pushed all places that can be pushed!Copy !req
229. All!Copy !req
230. All...Copy !req
231. It can't be...Copy !req
232. in there?Copy !req
233. Impossible! That can't be the switch!Copy !req
234. But that's about the only
place I haven't pushed yet.Copy !req
235. I-I'm not thinking anything perverted.Copy !req
236. I-I would just be in trouble if it didn't move.Copy !req
237. T-That's right...Copy !req
238. Come on...Copy !req
239. Chi?Copy !req
240. "Chi"?Copy !req
241. What?Copy !req
242. Chi?Copy !req
243. What's "Chi"?Copy !req
244. Is that your name?Copy !req
245. —Chi!
—H-Hold on!Copy !req
246. What is this?Copy !req
247. What's going on?Copy !req
248. The persocom seems to be moving...Copy !req
249. but it only says "Chi," is naked,
and on top of that is really cute.Copy !req
250. Chi?Copy !req
251. Somewhere... I've seen this somewhere.Copy !req
252. A girl barges into your life,
or you find one really cute...Copy !req
253. has special powers, can do anything...Copy !req
254. and loves the guy she lives with.Copy !req
255. So she'll do all sorts of things!Copy !req
256. Cooking, cleaning...Copy !req
257. even those kinda things!Copy !req
258. Chi?Copy !req
259. So I really am lucky!Copy !req
260. Y-Yes?Copy !req
261. It's Shinbo.Copy !req
262. Wanna take a bath?Copy !req
263. I always go to this public bath
that's like some health spa.Copy !req
264. This apartment has no bath, y'know.Copy !req
265. Sure, okay!Copy !req
266. —Can you go now?
—Be right there.Copy !req
267. Wait, naked?Copy !req
268. Of course, you'll be in a bath!Copy !req
269. Or what? Are you the type
that wears bathing suits?Copy !req
270. —Chi?
—Oh, no, it's nothing.Copy !req
271. Not good.Copy !req
272. This is not a good situation!Copy !req
273. Clothes, clothes...Copy !req
274. Something for her to wear.Copy !req
275. No. No. No. No.Copy !req
276. I should've marked what was in which box!Copy !req
277. Oh, a towel!Copy !req
278. For now...Copy !req
279. Chi...Copy !req
280. I-It looks more perverse now.Copy !req
281. Hey, aren't you ready yet?Copy !req
282. S-Something more than that to wear!Copy !req
283. This isn't it!Copy !req
284. What's wrong?Copy !req
285. Trouble finding your bath items?Copy !req
286. That's not it...Copy !req
287. —Want help?
—No, I'm fine!Copy !req
288. Don't be so shy.Copy !req
289. Hey, the door's unlocked.Copy !req
290. I forgot to lock the door!Copy !req
291. I have to hide her for now!Copy !req
292. Nice...Copy !req
293. I'm coming in.Copy !req
294. What's with this?Copy !req
295. Your room's a complete mess!Copy !req
296. You don't have to rush.
The bath is open till midnight.Copy !req
297. Hey, you've got a nosebleed.Copy !req
298. I'm all right.Copy !req
299. I just tripped.Copy !req
300. Are you sure?Copy !req
301. But it must be hard to find shampoo in here.Copy !req
302. I'll lend you mine.Copy !req
303. T-Thanks.Copy !req
304. —And a towel?
—I found my towel.Copy !req
305. Well, I found one,
but I'm using it for something.Copy !req
306. What's that mean?Copy !req
307. Don't worry.Copy !req
308. It's just something on my end.Copy !req
309. Oh, well.Copy !req
310. I'll be in my room, so drop

311. Got it, I'll be right there.Copy !req
