Roman Holiday

What is this...

It looks like it's going to rain.

But to the west, the sky's still red.

Is it making fun of me?

She must've had something urgent come up.

Seriously...

No! Don't throw me away!

Look at me carefully.

Look at me.

I beg you.

If you do that, you'll definitely be captivated by me.

You'll be very touched, so much you might cry.

That was the ticket's voice.

Strange girl.

Give it to me.

Why?

You were going to throw it away.

It would be such a waste, right?

Here, take it.

Thank you.

Well then.

Let's save the other ticket as well.

Hey!

It's Rome.

No matter what you say, this is still Rome.

No.

No matter what you say, this is still Rome.

She keeps on reading the subtitles.

What's with her?

That was a great movie, Roman Holiday.

That's true, but why did you keep reading the subtitles?

Because I want to become Audrey Hepburn.

Eh?

I... I see.

Ah... Ta-Tanaka-san!

She didn't forget... her promise to me.

She's here... Tanaka-san from Accounting!

You. Give me back my ticket.

No no, I don't exist any more.

I only live once.

Ta-Tanaka-san!

Yo. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Ah... You're late, darling.

Eh? You want to watch this junk?

No way. Sorry you had to come here to get me.

Let's go.

No way... Tanaka-san.

Didn't you say you wanted to watch Roman Holiday?

And your appointment here was with me!

Was the ticket meant for her?

Don't point it out. Leave me alone.

Besides, I'm so stupid, and so weak, unable to do anything.

Hey hey.

I can't achieve anything.

Like trash. Like a tick.

Listen to me.

Do you want me to console you?

To repay you for the ticket.

Shut up!

Eh?

There you go! Cheer up!

Having your heart broken once or twice is nothing!

A broken heart is ok, you'll be fine

Hey, when you said consoling me, was this what you meant?

Shut up.

Master. Bring me another big one.

And an oden combination platter.

Sure!

Oh, you want another one?

Eh? Ah, nah. I'm fine. I didn't bring that much money.

Two mugs of beer please!

Only beer and yakitori... are you a student? Freelancer?

No... umm... I'm an apprentice voice actress...

Voice actress? For animes?

Animes are included. Also dubbing foreign films.

Ah, when you said Audrey Hepburn, you were being serious.

Just now, did you think I was a crazy person?

No. Not at all.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Voice actress, huh?

That's good. Take advantage of your youth to chase your dreams. Do your best.

You seem to be telling me to give it up!

Dreams can't be achieved so easily.

How will I know without trying?

Reality is not that easy!

I worked hard to get into the advertising company I aimed at.
