Tokyo Girl (Tôkyô shôjo) (東京少女)

When are you coming out, Miho?

Don't be so childish! Hurry out!

I am not adult. I am still a child.

Stop embarrassing me!

Hello?

It's me.

It's too of a sudden. The kid doesn't seem to accept.

Then let's change to another date?

I'm sorry. You finally took some time off...

Nevermind.

Miho!

Didn't you have something to say?

We're coming.

Sorry for making you wait.

Not at all.

I've finished your manuscript.

Thank you!

I will start from the result.

I have discussed with Natsume Sensei.

We will not take your manuscript this time.

My story... what should I improve?

Your story lacks a sense of "self".

If what one does is just imitating others, he would not succeed to be a part of the novel world.

My story is imitating others...

Something that is able to turn over the Meiji Era,

and something innovative -- that is what we are looking for.

This is Mr. Shiomi Atsushi.

He is university professor teaching Japanese literature.

He is customer of our publishing house since a long time.

I have heard a lot about you from your mother.

You dream to be a science fiction writer, don't you?

This has nothing to do with my becoming a writer or not.

You just want to marry my mom.

I am against. That's it.

Miho!

She is as straight-talking as you.

I am really embarrassed. Usually she is not like this.

Miho!

You are getting old, but you want to remarry. It's so disgusting!

How to write something innovative...

Earthquake?

What's going on?

It's finally over...

Ouch...

What is this thing?

Strange... Where did it go?

It disappeared?

Impossible to disappear into the emptiness...

The number you are dialing is out of the service range...

Out of the service range? Where is that?

What on earth is this thing?

What is it for?

Brother, I am coming in.

Oh.

Your manuscript got rejected again?

How did you know?

Isn't it because you skip dinner every time you get rejected...

Is that so?

So I thought it's time you should feel hungry.

I should highly praise you for being such a considerate sister,

but just like you said, I have no appetite.

For real...

Brother, you've never been in love, right?

You'll never figure out anything interesting without ever being in love.

Love?Don't talk nonsense.

Wouldn't it be better if brother became a businessman like father?

You talk too much.

Tonight's moon is so pretty.

Come have a look, brother.

I don't care about moon...

It IS pretty...

Ah, finally...

Pick up now...

Hello?

What the heck?

Hello?

Hello?

It makes the "Hello" sound... It's a telephone?

No way... there's no cable.

Can't be a telephone.

What is he talking about? Hello?

Hello...

Hey, it's my cell you've got there.

Shell?

Not shell... Cell! Cellphone.

Weird...phone?

Who are you?

I am...Miyata Tokijirou.

Miyata Tokijirou...What an old-fashioned name...

What old-fashioned?

Anyways, where are you?

Here is Tokyo Region Hongo District Yushima Tenjinsamano Otokodashita Building 3.

What Tokyo region Hongo district?

Tokyo is not a region, Hongo is not a district.

Stop talking nonsense!

I'm not!

Stop being absurd! Tell me your address,

I'll go get my phone tomorrow.

Didn't I just tell you, Tokyo Region Hongo District...

No more "Hongo District". Seriously, give me your address.

I AM serious!

Old-fashioned names...absurd...

You are such a rude girl!

Pardon?

I hate this type of girls who never listen and so self-righteous!

I hate those type of boys who only talk nonsense and always want to fool others!

Not gentle at all! Tomboy! Lower class people!

Lower class?

Fine, whatever! Farewell!

What's what! Hey! Hey!

Aww no, disconnected...

How does it work?

The number you are dialing is out of the service range...

Argh! Why did he hang up on me!

This is how we met...

So this is Yushima Tenjin here.

Otokodashita Building 3...

This can't be...

Excuse me,

Is there Miyata family near here?

Miyata?

I am looking for Miyata Tokijirou.

Sorry, I've never heard of this name.

Really?

What nonsense, there's no Miyata here!

The number you are dialing is either out of the service range or powered off.

Power off?

So messy...

What is this...

You are messing with my stuff again!

Didn't I tell you not to clean my room?

I wouldn't know where things are again!

Isn't it because brother's room is too messy?

You will never write any good novels in this kind of room!

None of your business!

First, there is no relationship between good novels and cleanness of room.

Telegram?

Just arrived. From father.

It says urgent.

Same old tricks. Ignore ignore.

It would be nice to go just once.

Even if you just want to continue writing, you should at least make it clear to father.

Father would be so happy if you can inherit his company.

I know I know.

Oh by the way, brother, what is this box thingy?

I don't know myself either. Seems to be called a "weird phone".

Weird phone?

Indeed, it's a somewhat bizarre phone.

Is it really a phone?

Last night, a girl's voice came from it.

How can it be? No receiver, no cable, and no crank.

That's why it's "weird phone".

There's really a girl's voice?

Yeah.

Wasn't it your illusion?

Illusion?

Yes, brother has been at home focusing on the novels,

and starts to hear non-existent voices...

No way. I didn't just hear; I also talked to her.

Don't move.

Doesn't have a fever...

Of course not! That's enough, get out now.

OKOK.

Nobody will believe me...

I eat now.

Is it really OK if mom remarries, dad?

Ah, it's connecting.

Hello?

Connected! Hello?

I hear her!

What a fuss!

The address you told me last time...

Wait.

Huh?

Before you talk, I have to apologize to you.

Apologize?

I was very rude last time.

I shouldn't talk like that to ladies. I apologize.

I am sorry. Please forgive me.

Umm, no, actually I should apologize too.

You don't need to.

But I shouldn't have talked like that either.

And then?

Huh?

What did you want to say just now?

I went to the address you gave me.

They said there's no Miyata there.

This is strange... Why not?

I am living here right now.

You live there?

Then why don't you say your address again. Be more detailed this time.

Then I will tell you the official detailed address.

Please.

Tokyo Region Hongo District Yushima...

Not again!

Huh?

This address doesn't exist at all.

What do you mean "doesn't exist"...

Ah I get it!

What?
