Ranko-chan can be summed up in one word: cool. She loves the nightlife, and she spends her weekends clubbing with a huge group of friends. She's got a tattoo on the left side of her chest. It's pretty cool, too. She's 21, a Taurus, and her blood type's O! She loves perfume and hates things that smell bad. Her sultry, sexy voice will take you to heaven.

Anyway, so I was thinking about going out to the birthplace of belly dancing to do some intense training, so here I am.
Hopefully you can make the trip there soon.
+
I don't know much about dancing...
+
That's incredible.
So anyway, how are you the morning after you drink a ton? Do you get all depressed or are you totally fine?
I'm usually fine.
Sometimes I have a hard time getting up.
+
Morning? Try afternoon.
+
Why doesn't he just, like, mind his own business? Seriously!
Don't worry about him.
+
I completely agree with you.
-
I think it's great you have a tattoo.
+
Ugh, I hate guys who don't know when to shut up! What, does he think he's like, cool or something?
He's totally not.
+
Just forget about him.
-
Men are proud creatures like that.
Right! So, like, after that, I started having a ton of fun with it. I feel like I eat home way more often than I eat out nowadays.
Do you always cook for yourself?
-
Will you make something for me?
+
It's good to do something nice for someone.
There's always some birthday or some kind of occasion going on every week, so we get like, forty or fifty people to go out and party hard...
I tend to avoid big groups of people.
+
That's a pretty big party.
How does your body survive that?
Yeah. I use white musk oil in the bath, then when I get out, I put on this awesome body cream, and I always put on a little bit of perfume before I go to bed.
You're basically making a smell sandwich.
+
So that's why you smell so good.
-
Do I smell good?
-
Yeah, I was like, 16, too, hanging out with 22, 23-year-old college students... I was even the first chair of this special event thing, too.
That's impressive.
You don't do Para Para anymore?
+
What did that "chair" job entail?
+
She hasn't called me at all since that happened.
That is kind of crossing the line.
-
How long was she taking?
-
You don't feel bad about it?
+
So maybe I'll just get on some random train and go to a fancy onsen...
Go, relax.
+
Do you really have the time for that?
Maybe I'll come with you.
+
Anyway, so like, I have a super hard time loving on guys I respect...
What's wrong with that?
-
Why don't you tell them about it, then?
+
You don't have to force yourself to do that.
What do you think about it, Kiryu-san?
You should probably leave them alone.
I'm not really sure...
+
I guess it depends on the time and situation.
+
I'm trying to cook more like my mom, so I came up with that little recipe. ♪
Sounds delicious.
+
I'd pass on it, too.
-
It's probably chock-full of energy.
They're not even bright enough for me to do my makeup in my room, haha.
How can you sleep in a room like that?
Sounds like a pretty sweet love hotel.
+
I bet it's really comfortable.
+
Like, ugh! I can't believe it! Seriously!?
It's okay.
+
You're not fat.
-
What nice friends.
+
I don't think I ever would've imagined meeting someone like you all the way out here, Kiryu-san. I'm super happy I did.
There's something special about you, too.
+
I'm not that great.
+
If you fall for me, you'll only get burned.
-
Yeah! Like, you sweat a whole bunch, and it helps burn off the fat! That's why you've gotta go bedrock bathing.
Men do that in the sauna.
-
It's hard to hold off on going out.
+
I'll join you.
I dunno if I miss it, but it's just weird, seeing her change like that...
Everyone changes.
+
I know how that feels.
+
It's all up to you.
+
But after working here, I feel like I've learned a lot more about the world.
You can learn about the world in other places, too.
+
You're right.
You can't survive here without that mindset.
-
When I come back to Japan, will you see me again?
Of course.
+
Who knows.
+
I'll go see you in Istanbul.
-
It was all stuff that belonged in the trash.
Yeah, those are all disgusting.
-
But why didn't you tell her you threw them out?
Maybe they were special to her in some way.
+
......
Getting nervous?
+
All that planning must be tough.
+
I'll miss you.
-
Maybe I'm afraid of letting all those feelings out or something...
You don't have to hold back.
-
Don't think too hard about it.
+
Are you forcing yourself to cry?
I'm nothing like her, though...
You aren't?
+
You should introduce me to her.
-
You sound happy when you talk about your mom.
+
Hehehe. Ohmigosh, I'm like, so much more excited about this now!
Hopefully it helps you dance better.
+
That's so wonderful.
+
A dance for your descendants...
+
And when you sober up, you have to go back to your normal way of thinking, and life gets all boring again. That's all there is to drinking.
Makes sense to makes.
That's not all there is to drinking.
+
Case closed, then?
+
I hope she's okay...
I hope so, too...
If there's any way I can help...
+
Maybe you stop by her place.
......
Did I steal your heart already?
Should I stop giving you advice?
Is that how I always say it?
+
So anyway, how are you the morning after you drink a ton? Do you get all depressed or are you totally fine?
I'm usually fine.
Sometimes I have a hard time getting up.
+
Morning? Try afternoon.
