Meiji Tokyo Renka (明治東亰恋伽)

Meiji Tokyo Renka

Please do not glower so severely at my precious fiancée.

F-Fiancée?

You belong to me.

Isn't that right?

Huh?

Meiji Tokyo Renka

My precious fiancée.

You belong to me.

Isn't that right?

W-Wha? Eh?

What are you trying to pull?

Mori Ougai-dono.

Mori Ougai?

Why, if it isn't the young lady from earlier!

I was rather curious about this earlier,

but this design is quite reasonable, yet innovative and revolutionary.

I knew you would understand, Koizumi-san.

Yes, that's right, what she is wearing is a short...

...skirt!...

...that is all the rage in the West right now.

Yes! It's a skirt.

Oh, a skart.

No, skirt!

Yes, a skirt!

Huh?

If we linger here any longer, that scary police officer might come after us.

You don't have anywhere to go tonight, do you?

My mansion has many available rooms, if you would like.

Hang on, Ougai-san.

It wasn't a dream...?

Sukiyaki Is Romance Veiled in Steam

In other words, you traveled back in time.

Time travel?!

I traveled back in time?

Boom

We're being attacked!

This is precisely why I told him I didn't want her room next to mine.

W-W-We're being attacked by bad guys!

What're you talking about?

That, that...!

That's just the midday cannon.

Midday Cannon

T-The cannon?

It fires blanks to inform us when it is midday.

You've even forgotten about that?

Anyway, could you maybe do something about that?

Th-These are...

They're so beautiful!

Hey...

Huh?

You haven't finished this one yet?

There's nothing in the middle.

I guess I shouldn't have asked about it...

There you are, Little Squirrel.

Oh, when did you get back?

I got back just now, Fumi-san.

I heard the Little Squirrel's voice from the second floor.

U-Umm... Who is this Little Squirrel?

That would be you.

It is what came to mind when we first met and I saw you trembling.

Ah, I see.

Have you remembered anything, Little Squirrel?

About your home or your parents?

Uh, no, nothing yet.

You traveled back in time.

I probably shouldn't tell him that. There's no way he'd believe me.

I thought you might remember something after a night of rest,

but I guess it will not be so easy.

Well, let's give it some time.

You are welcome to stay here until your memory returns.

Can I?

Of course. Right, Syunso?

I don't have any objections.

Especially since I'm just a freeloader, too.

Thank you so much!

I will do my best to remember things so I can leave as soon as possible.

I have to hurry up and get back to my own time.

You are welcome to stay forever, even if your memories return.

After all, you are my fiancée.

Isn't that right?

Now then, why don't we get something to eat?

It will be a welcome party for you, Little Squirrel.

What would you like to eat?

No way, just letting me stay here is more than enough!

You don't need to go through such trouble for me...

Growl

Well, I guess a small beef bowl would be nice...

Beef Bowl

Beef bowl?

Are you referring to sukiyaki?

That's a pretty audacious request.

No, no, it doesn't need to be anything so expensive.

Just one of the 380 yen bowls.

380 yen?!

380 Yen

Do you want to buy out the place or something?

Perhaps you are the daughter of an extremely rich family, Little Squirrel?

Huh? Eh? Wha?

I-I see now. The value of money is different in this time,

so I gotta be careful.

Umm, so how do I wear this stuff?

E-Excuse me!

Yes?

It must be hard work, cleaning this big mansion all by yourself.

Yes, it really is.

They don't have vacuum cleaners or mops in this time yet, either.

Oh my.

That looks rather nice on you.

You're finally dressed appropriately.

I managed somehow, thanks to Fumi-san's help.

She's even forgotten how to wear a kimono.

A Meiji era city...

Mori Ougai-san...

He's the Mori Ougai-san!

Sukiyaki

Iroha Sukiyaki

Now, help yourself.

If it's not enough, we can order as much as you'd like.

O-Okay! Thank you for the food.

It's so good!

You really like beef.

Yes!

So you can still remember what you like, even with the amnesia.

Yes, yes.

It just melts on my tongue.

This is the taste of high-quality protein.

Syunso, this reminds me of the day we met.

It was a year ago.

Eat beef from a pot, and your tongue will burn.

That doesn't quite work, sir.

Two out, bases loaded, huh?

One Year Ago

How magnificent!

I've never seen such a beautiful creature before.

May I pet you?

The shiny luster of your black coat...

A supple body that is elegantly streamlined,

and bewitching golden eyes that seduce the beholder.

You're like an artwork of ultimate natural beauty made by the divine!

P-Pervert!

And that's how the two of you met?

Indeed, Little Squirrel. It was quite a stimulating encounter, wouldn't you say?

That's not how I remember it!

Syunso gets so taken with artistic passion

when he finds a wonderful model that he loses himself.

How troublesome.

You're the one who's troublesome!
