Episode 10

**The Way Home** (家路, *Ieji*?) is the tenth episode of the *Tonikaku Kawaii* Anime Adaptation.

## Summary

Nasa and Tsukasa have brought out everything that was in the storage space to their room. That building used to be where Kaname's dad did all his nerd stuff is and there are all kinds of things they can use now and even though they have all the basic things to live from now on, their room seems really old-fashioned.

Kaname got a muskmelon from a customer and wondering if the two wanted it, she brought it to Nasa and Tsukasa. Once ascertained that it looks good, she quickly leaves as she would hate to get in their way. But, not before telling them, she doesn't think the sound carries all the way to the house. Without Kaname, it's just the two of them and Nasa seems eager to try all kinds of embarrassing things he wants.

The next morning, Nasa receives a call from his former landlord, asking him if he was interested in moving into a new place he's having built. But Nasa hadn't come to a decision yet even though he thinks that they can't keep staying in debt to the Arisugawa family for much longer. However, Kaname is trying to convince Nasa and Tsukasa not to leave, although she realizes that *"living here probably makes it hard to get it on"*. On the other hand, she very quickly changes her mind: *"but maybe the thought of me watching would add a little extra spice to it"*.

They are building a new apartment on top of the lot where the last one burned down, and Nasa's landlord offered to let them move in without any security deposit or initial fee, along with keeping the same rent he had before. With such a good offer, they can't deny at least a visit to another apartment that is identical to what their next apartment will be. Once there, they find a huge luxury skyscraper. Tsukasa taken by enthusiasm suggests acting like a celeb couple. Yes, she was feeling pretty good. The apartment was beautiful and the view from above even more so. A bathtub, where you can see the outside when you take a bath, quickly takes their attention, as Tsukasa would like a normal one in their new apartment and in Nasa's mind, a lustful thought about them taking a bath together is twisting around.

After the bathroom, comes the bedroom that has a huge double size bed and with it, comes a question from Nasa: *"So if we move to a new place... wanna sleep on one bed?"* Nasa asked nervously and with a red face. Even more shyly, Tsukasa says yes. This sounds like an improvement. After they checked out the apartment the landlord called saying it was not their apartment and there was a mistake.

Kaname Arisugawa starts early in the morning; she wakes up every day at 5:30 to get the bathhouse ready and says balancing it with high school is very tough.

But now there is someone new: Tsukasa and she is more than happy to help her. Even though Kaname refuses her help, Tsukasa insists, as it really pains her to leave her debt to Kaname unpaid. And unlike Nasa-kun, she really never had the chance to get along with Kaname's family. Kaname, who can't defy Tsukasa's smile, gives up and accept her offer. It goes without saying, that with the help of Tsukasa, the cleaning ends earlier and Kaname takes advantage of this to thank Tsukasa not only for that, but deeply from her heart for saving Nasa, as she has never had the chance to say it to her. [Kaname]] starts to understand a bit more why Nasa fell in love with her.
