You Are Ms. Servant (2024) s01e11 Episode Script

1
[HITOYOSHI] When the snow falls
onto the lights,
it blurs them and makes them
sparkle even more.
It's such a magical sight.
That's another reason
why I love the snow
as much as I do.
[chuckles]
Uh, oh.
Did I say something
super weird?
Not quite.
Hmm?
I was just so happy to hear
you say you love me.
Thank you, Master.
I know that you were only
referring to my namesake.
But even so, it felt
wonderful to hear it.
[Yuki chuckles]
[HITOYOSHI] What's this?
♪
[HITOYOSHI] Huh?
♪
[HITOYOSHI]
The definition of love.
What is it?
When I was younger,
I once confessed to a girl.
Someone I spent
lots of time with.
I'll never forget
what she said.
[HITOYOSHI'S FIRST CRUSH 11A]
That's very sweet,
but what you're feeling
isn't love.
You just want companionship,
that's all.
[HITOYOSHI] Right away,
I knew it was true.
At the time,
I was desperately lonely.
It felt as though
being with her
saved me from my solitude.
That was why I'd confessed.
After that,
we never hung out again.
I imagine my ill-conceived
confession must have hurt her.
And her response hit me harder
than a regular refusal
would have.
Now I'm wondering
if what she said was true
and that feeling
wasn't really love.
Then what is it
I'm feeling now?
This warmth. What is it?

EPISODE 11: YOUR PRAYERS
ARE THE GODS' PRAYERS.
[groans]
[YUKI] Good morning,
Master Hitoyoshi.
[HITOYOSHI] Good morning.
I'm such a royal idiot!
What was I even thinking?
Ms. Yuki's been having
nightmares,
and before I could stop myself.
Well, if you really don't wanna
sleep alone
just say the word!
[HITOYOSHI] Why did I do that?
I hate past me
with a fiery vengeance.
He sucks!
I haven't managed
a single wink of sleep.
I'm about to die of exhaustion.
And we're basically
always together
because of winter break,
so the timing
couldn't be worse!
Um, Master,
is there something
keeping you awake?
Not a thing!
I was so excited to dive
into the winter cleaning,
I simply couldn't wait
a second longer.
[HITOYOSHI] Oh, man.
That excuse was criminally bad.
♪
[grunts]
[HITOYOSHI]
I can't take this anymore.
I have to put a stop to it.
Not just for me, but for her.
[HITOYOSHI'S FIRST CRUSH 11A]
I'm sorry, Hitoyoshi.
[HITOYOSHI]
But, if I tell Ms. Yuki
how I feel,
nothing will come of it.
I mean, right?
♪
[YUKI] Mopping.
I haven't faced this demon
since I first arrived.
HORRIBLE BLUNDER
I lost that battle
horribly then,
but today is my shot
at redemption.
These floors shall sparkle!
Maybe then,
Master will cheer up.
Ms. Yuki! Got any more
trash for me?
[HITOYOSHI]
Deja vu.
I could never apologize enough.
[HITOYOSHI] No worries,
I know this small beast
is actually the one to blame.
Hey, you! Don't cause trouble
for Ms. Yuki!
She's two-and-oh
against the mop.
Guess some things never change.
I cleaned the bathtub
this morning,
so feel free to take a nice,
hot
[heartbeat]
Huh?
[YUKI] Yes, Master?
[gasps]
[HITOYOSHI]
Oh, um, a bath.
Right, in fact.
I'll go run it for you.
[HITOYOSHI] Ms. Yuki's
always been this way.
Though she's matured
as a person,
she's still as genuine
and sincere as ever.
That's been a constant.
And she somehow makes us
all feel like one big family.
I've always found her way
of being so comforting.
What we have,
it's so precious.
How could I risk ruining it?
Hitoyoshi, I'm sorry.
Let's be honest,
you're probably just lonely.
[HITOYOSHI] I never want to
feel that way ever again.
And, Ms. Yuki, I don't want her
to leave me, too.
[knocking]
[YUKI] Master Hitoyoshi,
is something wrong?
Huh?
[YUKI] You've been acting
noticeably strange
since this morning.
Have you contracted
some manner of illness?
Nope! I'm good.
I was just in a hurry
to fill up the bathtub, so
[HITOYOSHI]
Jeez, I know that face.
That's her, "My lap is ready
and waiting" expression!
You really shouldn't be
doing that
when my feelings
are all twisted up, lady!
[HITOYOSHI] And now
she's tossing in
puppy-dog eyes to boot?
I've gotta get out
of this, stat!
'Bout that. I've been chewing
on this for a while.
That whole lap sitch.
It's kinda super embarrassing.
[HITOYOSHI] It's not normal!
A high-school boy would never
ask a girl to do that for him.
I mean, unless he had
more courage than sense.
I see. You've finally
gotten fed up with me
and my clumsiness,
haven't you?
No way! That's not true!
[YUKI]
It's completely understandable.
[Yuki weeping]
I make mistakes.
All the time.
[gasps]
- Ms. Yuki. Your eyes.
- [YUKI] Huh?
What? My eyes.
They suddenly feel all hot
and there's liquid
coming out of them, too!
[YUKI] Are these
[HITOYOSHI] Sorry!
I didn't mean to upset you!
I swear on everything that
I'm not fed up with you!
I made her cry.
What do I do? What can be done?
I've got nothin'!
I'm stumped here! Oh, man.
This whole thing is my fault.
Oh! I know! The bath!
I don't want you
to catch a cold,
so go enjoy your bath.
Yes, you're right.
[YUKI]
I shall do just that.
[gasps]
♪
[HITOYOSHI] Wait.
What is wrong with my brain?
I sent her off to the bath?
That was the worst
possible move!
Seriously, what was I thinking?
I made things even more
awkward between us.
♪
[HITOYOSHI] Ever since
Huh, you forgot
the daikon radishes.
Well, luckily, we can
make do without them.
Okay. I'm so sorry.
[HITOYOSHI]
Her tears flow freely
through the dam I broke.
To be honest, I have no
freakin' clue how to fix it.
Forgive me.
[gasps]
[HITOYOSHI] So I've just been
trying my best
not to upset her.
[growling]
- I'm so sorry.
- Huh?
[HITOYOSHI] It's taking up
all of my attention.
I'm sorry, really.
[HITOYOSHI] Right. That one's
definitely not your fault.
Now, if only to stem the flow,
I'll even forgo sleep.
Hey! Trouble sleeping?
Indeed.
Sixty-one sheep,
sixty-two sheep,
sixty-three sheep,

an exciting day
has finally arrived.

[HITOYOSHI] Today we'll be
celebrating New Year's Eve.
So sleepy.
At least I was able to
clean up my room,
thanks to Ms. Yuki.
I'll try my best to do
better next year.

DECEMBER 31ST (FRI.)
Wow.
[YUKI] Warm and soft.
I have an idea.
Perhaps I should pick up
something for dinner
during my walk.
Master Hitoyoshi?

"I'll be back in a bit."

[Agemochitaro whining]
[YUKI] Master Hitoyoshi,
I have returned home.
[HITOYOSHI] Welcome back!
By the way, I picked up
something for dinner
while I was out walking.
[HITOYOSHI] Oh! Did ya really?
I've made plans.
Y'know I was thinking we could
have your fav, okonomiyaki.
With somethin' special.
[HITOYOSHI] Ta-da!
I scored us some primo
roast beef!
[weeping]
[YUKI] Roast beef.
[HITOYOSHI]
Ms. Yuki! Cheer up.
[HITOYOSHI] Well
Your beef is way different
than mine.
Seeing as how mine is sliced
and yours isn't, y'know?
[HITOYOSHI] Hoo boy,
what a feast!
Oh. Please don't feel like
you have to eat it all, okay?
Okay.
Let's eat
while the eatin's good!
Yes, indeed.

- [weeping]
- It's delicious.
Oh, yeah! So tasty!
'What am I doing in this world?'
[HITOYOSHI]
How awful.
I just can't stop
making her cry.

[RIKO] Ms. Yuki! Big Brother!
Happy New Year!
Time for our New Year's
shrine visit!
Oh, hi.
Good morning, Ms. Riko.
Hope you're ready
for our big day!
[RIKO] Let's go!
One problem.
[YUKI] I was just calling out
for him, but to no avail.
So he's in zombie mode?
Indeed.
He is utterly exhausted.
Well, that's gonna be
a big problem.
And why would that be?
[RIKO] Don't tell me
he didn't fill you in!
He's a New Year's baby.
Which means today
is my big bro's birthday!
- [YUKI] Master's birthday?
- Yup!
And that's why it's a family
tradition to meet up
after the shrine visit
every New Year.
[YUKI] It's his birthday.
I mean, we don't usually hand
out presents or anything.
So I guess he doesn't
technically have to be there
[screams]
[YUKI] I didn't know
it was Master's birthday.
[RIKO] Why do your tears
sound like a raging river?
Ms. Yuki, I just realized
I've never seen you cry before!
I know. I'll explain.
[YUKI] Apparently,
a metaphorical dam
of sorts has broken within me.
[RIKO] That sounds bad!
[YUKI] Because of that,
I am now liable
to start crying for any reason.
So perhaps I should
stay home, too.
Gotcha!
Don't worry about it!
I was gonna ditch you guys
to hang out with friends
anyway, so we're good.
[RIKO]
'Kay, catch ya later!
[door slide closes]

- Huh?
[YUKI] Ms. Naka?
Oh dear, it says,
"Will you and Yokoya be coming
to the shrine today?"
FORMER ASSASSIN, CURRENTLY
SPEAKING TO A TEXT MESSAGE
"I may just stay home."
JANUARY 1ST (SAT.)
[YUKI] She said,
"I'd really like it
if we could visit together."
Visit the shrine together?
♪
[NAKA] Oh! Ms. Yuki!
I wish you a Happy New Year!
I'm so glad you made it!
Your outfit's adorable!
Are you here alone?
Yes.
In truth, I'm not familiar
with this
"New Year shrine visit"
tradition.
[NAKA] Huh? So you don't know
how to pray at a shrine?
I don't.
I lack experience in this area.
[NAKA] On New Year's,
it's traditional
to visit a shrine
and tell the Gods
your wishes for the year.
[YUKI] How fascinating.
♪
[YUKI] Huh?
What are those white papers?
[NAKA] They're fortune slips.
Each one has got a fortune
on it for the year ahead.
So would you like
to try your luck?
[YUKI] Please.
[NAKA] Being able to help
someone out
by explaining something
they don't know.
It's almost like we're friends.
Oh, wait, we are friends!
[Naka giggles]
[NAKA] Great luck for me--
[gasps]
[NAKA] Whoa!
She just cried a river!
How is that possible?
Hey. You can't stop crying.
So, maybe you'd like
to sit down?
[weeping]
[Yuki sniffles]
[YUKI] My lost thing will stay
lost and "pass to another".
It's over.
My Master
and I will be separated.
I refuse to believe that!
You see, he's been acting
so different lately.
I really don't know
what to make of it.
[YUKI] He's been quite distant.
I'm not sure what changed
between us,
but I'm scared.
[Yuki sniffles]
[YUKI] What if it's only
a matter of time
before Master no longer
needs me.
[NAKA] Aww!
[YUKI] And then I won't be able
to stay by his side anymore.
When I think like that,
I just [sniffles]
I can't stop my tears
from flowing.
[weeping]
[YUKI] What will become of me
if Master starts to hate me?
[NAKA] Listen, I get it.
There have been times
when I couldn't stop
my tears from falling.
[sniffles] There have?
For sure. It was back
when I was little.
I was devastated
after my mother passed away.
[gasps]
[NAKA] Oops! I didn't mean
to make you sad again!
I'll tell you what got me
through it.
I remembered something
comforting my mother
once told me.
[NAKA] We cry when we need
to let out
our sadness trapped
deep inside of us,
so let your tears fall
as they come.
I bet I know the reason
why you can't stop crying.
All of the sad feelings that
you've kept bottled up
inside for so many years
are finally flowing out
all at once.
[NAKA] Please believe me.
Crying is nothing to be
ashamed of!
Go ahead.
Whenever the pain is so
overwhelming just cry
and cry and cry
until it all goes away.
It won't last forever.
One day you'll get
your smile back!
Because that's what happened
with me.
Ms. Naka.
So let's settle down a bit
and go say our prayers.
We can ask the Gods to fix
that fortune of yours!
[NAKA] I'll teach you
how to pray at the shrine.
Bow twice.
Clap twice.

♪
[YUKI] Ms. Riko, Ms. Naka
and Master Hitoyoshi,

looking out for me.
I wish to stay with them.
Not just this year,
but forever.
