00:00Have a good day, okay?
00:02Yeeeep! I'm going!
00:05My name is Eito Goto.
00:07I'm 28 years old, and in my fourth year of running my late grandfather's cafe.
00:13I live with my 8-year-old daughter Rin, in the house behind the cafe.
00:17My ex-wife left soon after Rin was born, so I've been managing this cafe on my own while raising Rin.
00:25Initially, the business was thriving, and we had a steady flow of customers, but...
00:31Six months ago, Haruo Coffee opened right in front of my shop, and our sales plummeted.
00:38Looks like you don't have many customers coming in. Are you doing okay?
00:44Again, the usual taunting.
00:46He is Haruo, the manager of Haruo Coffee, and his full name is Haruo Goman.
00:52Interestingly, he's also a former classmate from my school days.
00:57Haruo's father is wealthy, and always enjoyed teasing me, given my humble background.
01:04If I had known Eito took over a cafe, I would have asked my dad for help, and I'd have opened a shop right away. It's a shame.
01:13Ugh, there's no way a business can survive with a pricing of 30 cents per cup.
01:19Even at this point, is he still going to bother me for fun?
01:29Are you okay?
01:31She's disgusting.
01:33Hey, that's too much!
01:36Shut up! I feel sick! I'm out of here!
01:40Wait a sec.
01:42Are you hungry? Just wait a moment.
01:45This will probably be left over today, so please take it with you.
01:51If you ever have any problems, feel free to come by anytime.
01:55Oops, this is bad. I have a meeting with Rin's teacher today. I need to wrap up things at the store.
02:02Apart from the issue of declining customers, another problem is the lack of manpower.
02:07While I'm not busy, I find myself having to close the shop more often due to Rin's events.
02:13Recently, my mind has been occupied with the cafe, and honestly, I've been stretched thin.
02:19Ugh, I can't afford to hire part-timers either.
02:24What's a part-time?
02:27Oh, it's someone who works with us. I'd be grateful if we could find someone suitable.
02:33Hmm, I'll find someone perfect for you, Daddy!
02:39Thanks, Rin. Come on, let's eat quickly before it gets cold.
02:44Okay. I wonder if there's someone nice out there.
02:49I have to do my best so Rin doesn't worry about me.
02:53A few weeks passed, and I almost forgot about the conversation with Rin.
02:58Daddy, I found someone who wants to work here!
03:02You still remember that conversation?
03:05Wait, what? Where did you meet this person?
03:10At the park. This person helped me when I fell.
03:14She's really nice, so she'll get along with you for sure.
03:19That is not the problem.
03:21Excuse me, she was crying after falling, so I brought her here.
03:25Well then, that's it for me.
03:28Did she go out of her way to bring her here?
03:31It's getting cold outside, and it feels wrong to just send her back like this.
03:35Um, if it's okay, would you like to come in for a little to rest?
03:40I'm going to make dinner soon.
03:42I can't. I'll make a mess of your home.
03:46Then take a bath! I'll show you where it is!
03:50But...
03:51Sorry, she's a lively daughter. Please consider it as a thank you for helping her.
03:57I understand.
04:01Daddy, I finished my bath.
04:04Just in time. Dinner's ready.
04:07Um, thank you very much.
04:10Wait, what?
04:13Is something wrong? I borrowed clothes and I'm sorry for everything.
04:17I never considered she might be a young woman, and she's incredibly cute.
04:22I wonder how she ended up homeless.
04:25Daddy, what are you staring at? It's dinner, right?
04:30Oh, sorry, sorry. Um, may I ask your name?
04:35I'm Karen.
04:37Karen, I can't offer much, but since you're here, please make yourself comfortable.
04:43Thank you so much.
04:45Thanks to Rin's straightforward questions, I learned more about Karen.
04:50She's 20 years old and had been working in a factory, living on-site after moving from the countryside.
04:57Unfortunately, the company suddenly went bankrupt, leaving her without anyone to rely on.
05:03Her family is struggling financially, so she couldn't turn to them.
05:07That's how she ended up homeless.
05:09You've been through a lot.
05:11Daddy, let's hire Karen at our place!
05:15We'd appreciate that, but...
05:17Please, I beg you, let me work.
05:20But honestly, we're tight on finances. The salary might not be...
05:25I don't need that.
05:27No, it can't be that simple.
05:29Then, just let me stay here. I want to repay you for the bath and meal.
05:35If she has a place to stay, Karen might feel more secure. It could be helpful for us, too.
05:41If that's the case, sure, please join us.
05:45I'm so glad. Thank you.
05:49Those delicate, beautiful fingers. She must have gone through a lot.
05:54Karen, that's great!
05:56And so, the life of the three of us, me, Rin, and Karen, began.
06:01After a week of Karen working, she seemed to gradually get used to things, even if there were some awkward moments.
06:08Karen, I can't eat ten slices of toast.
06:13Oh, I'm sorry. I read the order wrong.
06:16She's a bit spacey, but that's what makes her cute.
06:20Oh, this place feels brighter somehow.
06:25After closing for the day...
06:27It was another nice day today. Huh? Where's Rin?
06:32She hasn't come back from her friend's house yet.
06:35Oh, by the way, Karen, the new uniforms have arrived. Here, take a look.
06:40Wait, what? Why maid outfits?
06:44Huh?
06:45It's completely different from what I ordered. She might misunderstand and think it's my preference.
06:52This is not what I ordered. Probably a mistake in the delivery. Let's return it right away.
06:58Um, would it be weird if I said I wanted to wear this maid outfit?
07:05Huh?
07:06Well, I could see a maid cafe from the park where I used to stay, and I've always admired it.
07:14If you want to, well, do you want to try wearing it for now?
07:20Yes!
07:22A few minutes later...
07:24How do I look?
07:27Isn't this a bit too much? Unexpectedly revealing and all.
07:33Is it weird after all?
07:35Not at all. It suits you very well.
07:39Really? I'm glad. Well, would you practice with me for a bit?
07:46Practice?
07:48Welcome back, my master.
07:50So this is what she meant by practice?
07:54Here's your coffee. Would you like sugar and milk?
07:58No, I'm good.
08:00Then how much love would you like in it?
08:04Huh? Love? Then I'll leave it to you.
08:08Master is quite greedy. I'll make it plenty.
08:12Dang, she looks incredibly good in this.
08:16Next is a lovingly made rice omelette. Open wide, please.
08:22No, isn't this a bit too much?
08:26Don't worry. This is a special menu just for you, Eito. You're special to me after all.
08:33Special? What should I do?
08:36If she says things like that, it's impossible not to be conscious of it.
08:40I wonder what Karen thinks of me.
08:43Now, take another bite.
08:45Uh, um...
08:48I'm home! Something smells good!
08:54Welcome back!
08:56Rice omelette? Nice!
08:59Oh, Karen, that outfit is cute!
09:03Um, my master...
09:06Eito ordered it for me.
09:08Daddy, you have good taste!
09:11Hey, why are both of you blushing?
09:15The air conditioner might be a bit warm.
09:19Yeah, yes, that's right.
09:24Oh, you two are acting strange.
09:29Starting the next day, Karen began serving customers in her maid outfit.
09:34She avoided the kind of service from the other day, but the impact was still impressive.
09:40The mismatch with the old-fashioned atmosphere of the shop became a topic,
09:44and young customers, both male and female, started coming in more frequently.
09:49Apologies for the wait, my lady. Here's a cocoa with lots of love and cream.
09:55Aw, so cute! Can I take a photo?
09:58Yes, of course.
10:00Karen is working so hard for this shop. I want to find a way to make her happy.
10:05Huh? The foot traffic in Eito's place has been amazing lately.
10:10It must be because of that employee. I won't forgive him for this audacity.
10:15And so, a month had passed in the blink of an eye since Karen came to our home.
10:20Aw, that's unfair, Rin.
10:23You're too weak.
10:26Somehow, these ordinary moments feel like happiness.
10:31Karen, stay with us forever, okay?
10:35Aw, so cute. Even though you're usually so reliable.
10:42Karen, um, thank you, from me too.
10:47Huh?
10:48Since you came, we have many more happy moments than before. I'm truly grateful.
10:54I'm the one who's grateful for being picked up by you and Rin.
11:01I haven't repaid the favor enough, so please feel free to ask anything.
11:06If you are okay with it, please stay with us as long as you want.
11:11I want to stay too. Please tell me more about yourself, Eito.
11:16Y-yes, I'll do my best.
11:19A few days later. There were more customers than usual today.
11:24Cleanup is done. Eito, are you okay?
11:27Oh, sorry. I'm a bit tired.
11:30Huh?
11:31I'm going to rest.
11:33No, you can't!
11:35Huh? Hey, Karen!
11:39You seem tired, Master. Please entrust yourself to me.
11:43No, but that's—
11:46Sometimes I want you to rely on me, or else I'll feel lonely.
11:52I practice massage for my master's sake. Please relax.
11:58Feels so good. What a sense of relief.
12:02When was the last time I entrusted myself to someone like this? Ah, bliss.
12:09You can rely on me more, you know. I'll do anything for your happiness, my master.
12:17I drifted off to sleep, and my memory ended there.
12:21Of course, it goes without saying that I felt rejuvenated.
12:25A few days later.
12:27No! Today, Karen, Dad, and I will sleep together!
12:32Rin, don't trouble Karen too much.
12:36No way!
12:38Hmm. She's usually so reliable, but occasionally things like this happen.
12:44Um, I don't mind if you don't.
12:48Huh?
12:50See? Rin, let's sleep together.
12:53Yay! Thanks, Karen!
12:57Are you sure about this?
12:59Yes. I'm actually very welcoming to the idea.
13:04And so, we ended up sleeping together.
13:07Is the order weird? Why is Karen next to me?
13:17Rin is sleeping peacefully. I can't possibly sleep in this situation.
13:22Huh?
13:26Karen, why is she in my cover? Could it be? No, it's bad to think that now.
13:32Karen, um...
13:38Huh? She's really asleep. I panicked. I'll get up.
13:44No, don't go. It's warm.
13:48Talking in her sleep.
13:51She finally escaped from being homeless. I really want to make Karen happy.
13:56But can she truly be happy with someone like me?
14:00The shop still has a long way to go.
14:03Thus, with Karen's arrival, the management of the coffee shop stabilized, and we began to have some breathing room.
14:10However, just when things were looking up, an unexpected event occurred.
14:15Hey, I'm here to interrupt.
14:19Haro, what are you doing here?
14:22I don't have any business with you. I came to see her.
14:27Me?
14:29Hey, maid. How about working for me starting tomorrow?
14:33Huh?
14:35I'll offer a salary of $70,000. No, $140,000. An amount you can never earn at a place like this.
14:45Hey, stop saying weird things.
14:48That's right.
14:50What? Is this still not enough? You're quite a greedy young lady.
14:54This is not a joke. No matter how much you offer, I will not quit this job. Please leave.
15:00Daddy, say something to him.
15:03Haro, can you give me a moment to think?
15:06Huh? Daddy, what do you mean?
15:11You're quite understanding.
15:16Does that mean I'm no longer needed?
15:20No.
15:22I see. I'm sorry for relying on you so much.
15:27But I was truly happy with this life.
15:31It felt like I gained a new family when I had nothing as a homeless person.
15:36Karen, wait!
15:38I apologize for any inconvenience I've caused so far. Goodbye.
15:44Wait, Karen!
15:46Daddy, hurry up and chase after her! Carmen is going to leave!
15:51Ato, you're clever! I'll give you a 10% cut too!
15:57A few minutes later.
15:59Karen!
16:01Karen!
16:03Both of you?
16:05Karen, I'm sorry for earlier.
16:07You know, Dad was thinking that maybe it's better to consider what's best for Karen's future.
16:14Huh?
16:16Of course. I want you to stay with us forever.
16:19But Karen, you have a future.
16:21You have the right to choose not to live with just the two of us.
16:25When I thought about that, I became uncertain.
16:28I thought I was no longer needed.
16:31Ato, you really thought about my life, didn't you?
16:36Yeah. But in the end, I hurt you, Karen. I'm truly sorry.
16:41Ugh. Come with me.
16:44What's happening all of a sudden?
16:46Just come. Rin, you too.
16:49Huh?
16:51A few minutes later.
16:53I see. You've made up your mind. Money is important after all.
16:58That's not it.
17:01Huh?
17:02I will be with Ato and Rin forever.
17:05What?
17:07Both of them have treated me so warmly.
17:10What the heck? Even if I offer you money?
17:13It's not about that.
17:15I don't want to go to a place where people look down on me just because I was homeless.
17:20Hey, what are you talking about?
17:23I will never forget the sandwich I received from Ato that day.
17:27The sandwich?
17:29Could it be that you were the homeless person passing by at that time?
17:34Was it you?
17:35Yes. I was too embarrassed and I couldn't properly thank you.
17:42Ato, please promise me that you'll never kick me out, no matter what happens in the future.
17:49Promise. Thank you, Karen. Please stay with us forever.
17:54Yes, I'd love to.
17:57Great! Now Karen will be with us forever.
18:02Yes, I'll be with you forever.
18:06Tch. What's with you guys, making a fool out of me?
18:10I was about to make a big mistake earlier, even if I hesitated for a moment about letting Karen go to your store.
18:17Huh?
18:19But I will never let you have Karen! Not even a single finger will touch her! I will protect her!
18:25Shut up! I'll crush your store with my father's power!
18:29Ato!
18:31Dad! Perfect timing! I have a favor to ask. Crush this guy's store for me! Show him the power of our group!
18:39That's... impossible.
18:42Huh? And also, why do you look so beaten up?
18:46Sorry, Ato. Our group went bankrupt because of tax evasion. There's nothing left anymore.
18:53No, that's... What about Ato's coffee?
18:57Of course, it's closing down. Let's go now.
19:02No way! I'm the richest guy in this town! I'm super rich!
19:07Within a few days, Haruo's store closed down, and the Haruo family seemed to have disappeared overnight, probably fleeing somewhere.
19:15On the other hand, my coffee shop became a thriving business, and many customers continued to visit.
19:22A sandwich, please.
19:24Sure, here you go.
19:26I'll help, too!
19:28On holidays, it was a promise for the three of them to go for a walk together.
19:33Hey, what are you doing, Rin?
19:36That's right, it's embarrassing.
19:39Well, both of you seem flustered.
19:43Um, since we're already like this, can we stay like this a little longer?
19:49Please? Honestly, adults have it tough. You can't manage without me around.
20:00Hi! It's me, Mel! Thanks for watching my channel!
20:05I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos, too!
