Brother... we've got nothing to do.
Well, that means it's peaceful out there.
The perfect time to polish ourselves.
With a Puzzle Cube?
Concentration. The small movement of the fingertip. Speed.
The ability to read movement ahead.
This includes every aspect needed for an operation.
How about you polish your own ability?
Learn about the ability of "Insight",
So that you can look at the patient's heart and their problem.
"Insight", eh? How can we learn something like that?
Think for yourself.
This is Kyoko, the one who will have a one day experience here.
Pleased to meet you.
I'll report this month achievements.
Number 1 for this month is still Rena.
Thank you very much.
It's great to have someone like you here.
Most returning customers have eyes for Rena.
It's because of everyone.
Compared to that, Miyoko... You've been at the bottom for the last 5 months.
You are just... kinda plain.
If one is not cute, at least be bright and good at handling customers.
There's something to that, isn't there?
Yes.
I'm not saying that you should become like Rena.
She's pretty strict.
Hello, this is Arisa. What are you doing now?
- It's not like that. - You always say that.
Cheers!
- Kyoko, what's your hobby? - Taking a walk.
- What kind of food do you like? - Yukke.
Excuse me. If you please, Rena.
I'll be going for a while. Don't you dare to go home
- Ah! - I'm really sorry!
Such a bored face...
Are you really that bored to keep me company?
No...
I'm really sorry. Ah~ It's all wet.
Director Takenaka, you're handsome and a good man! ("Mizu mo Shitataru"
(means "Water is dripping" but also means "splendidly handsome")
I came to realize it once again.
- Is that so? - Yeah.
A good man, eh?
I'm so sorry Mr.Director.
It's okay, don't worry about it.
Miyoko.
It's okay, cheer up!
- I'm sorry, Rena. - Don't mention it...
We are best friends, aren't we? Let's do our best together.
Miyoko is really no good.
She should stop working here, she's not fit for the job.
She holds you back all the time.
Well, that's okay. She's doing her best too.
Why are you covering for her?
Isn't it obvious?
To help me keep my good performance.
Depending on how you use them, the ugly ones can prove to be useful.
The effectiveness of the ugly.
- No way! - Yeah, what can it be?
Miyoko...
You're still here?
Well, when you're at the same table with Miyoko, Rena really stands out.
We've been together since... we were kids.
Isn't that right, Miyoko?
Miyoko has been doing her role to make me look better.
Rena...
What do you mean by that?
Such a bother. It's about time you realize.
The reason that a gloomy girl like you is paired with me...
is to make me look better.
Covering you is just a way to show customers how kind I am.
Because your role is to make me look better.
That's... Aren't we best friends?
Best Friends? What are you talking about?
An ugly girl like you...
Let's go. We're just wasting our time talking with her.
Thank you for today.
Wh... What happened?
Miyoko?
If you wish it, you could be reborn with a pretty face.
- Really? - Yes.
But, I will perform the surgery only once. If you change your face...
you can't change back to your old face ever.
Miyoko.
Please, change my face.
I want to be pretty. I don't want my role to be making others look better.
I understand.
Choose the face you want.
Your new face.
My... new face.
And... what about the payment?
We don't need any money. The price for the surgery... is your face.
Kirishima Shun, once belonged to the United States Marshals Service.
As part of the US Federal Witness Protection Program,
he performed cosmetic surgery.
Granting people new faces,
He was known in the black market as: Face Maker.

[A month after the surgery]
Rena, I'm being reborn. Because you betrayed me...
Miyoko's role was to make me look better.
Even though we were best friends back when we were kids.
Rena, do you want to come to my house after this?
I've to go back and look after my brother. He's waiting for me alone.
Just bring your brother with you.
Eh?
Mom said that she's going to bake cookies today.
So, let's eat them together!
Depending on how you use them, the ugly one can be useful.
The effectiveness of the ugly.
I thought we were best friends...
I won't forgive her!
Please.
This is... my new face.
Sensei, Kyoko. Thank you very much.
I won't let anyone say that my role is to just make someone look better.
Miyako... She's definitely going to be happy.
That's what your "Insight" shows?
You were the one who brought her here.
Betrayed by her best friend,
She's hurting, there is a shadow in her heart.
She hated her own face and fell into despair.
She's... going to take revenge against the one who betrayed her.
Eh!?
Her face showed hatred and resolve when we took that bandage off.
Showing anger, her eyebrows muscle showed her nervousness.
Her mouth angle & muscle condition, showed her strong resolve.
But... revenge is...
She lost her inferiority by becoming beautiful.
I just hope she won't lose herself along the road.
Housaka Ai, 23 years old.
- You've experience of hostessing, right? - Yes.
I understand. I would like you to work here.
Thank you very much.
- Rena! - Oh, Mama. Good morning.
Let me introduce you. This is Housaka Ai.
She's a newcomer who'll work here starting today.
Pleased to meet you.
Pleased to meet you, too.
Take here to the changing room. Her locker is...
The one Miyako was using is empty. She can wear Miyoko's dresses, too.
Teach her everything.
- You can use this locker. - Okay.
- Hey... - Yes?
Have we met somewhere before?
- No. - Is that so?
Why?
I just felt something. Forget it.
Welcome, Director Takenaka.
Thank you for choosing me.
Have a seat over there.
Excuse me.
Director, this is our newcomer, Ai. Please treat her well.
What a beautiful girl.
I'm Ai, pleased to meet you.
How about champagne tonight?
Thank you very much!
- Is Gold Champagne okay? - Yes.
Director, I have a favor to ask.
Hmm?
Please don't bring Rena to this room anymore.
I want to be Number One.
I want to win over Rena.
Will you lend me your cooperation?
- Are you serious about this? - Yes.
Please make me into a first class woman. Just like what you want.
I understand.
I'm going to take a shower now.
The reason a gloomy girl like you is paired with me...
is to make me look better.
Because your role is to make me look better.
Ai, this is really delicious! Are you going to start a shop?
It's really delicious.
Can I eat one more?
- Here you go. - One more!
Ah, Rena.
I baked some cookies. Please feel free to eat some.
I...hate cookies.
Cheers!
Kirishima here is a plastic surgery doctor.
Plastic surgery doctor, eh? Maybe I'll have him operate on me.
No, no. You don't need to do that.
There is someone who had Plastic Surgery here.
Eh? You can see it?
That guy is...
- Me. - That's pretty funny!
As expected from Doctor Kirishima.
Did any of our medical equipment prove useful?
Yes. ("Yaku Ni Tattemasu" means
("Useful" but "Tattemasu" itself means "Standing")
That one is a great joke!
Excuse me.
- Ai, if you may... - Yes.
- I'll be going for a while. - Eh? Are you going?
- Don't go~ - I'll be back soon.
I'm still here, right?
Ai, come back soon. We'll choose you.
- Kaori too~ - Me too~
- Because me & Ai are in the same line. - Ahhh~ That's not fair.
Ugly! You're disgusting, Miyoko.
Because you're ugly, you'll drink this water too, won't you?
Stop it, all of you!
Yocchan!
- Yocchan, are you okay? - Are you okay?
Rena, why do you protect someone like her?
Because she's my friend!
- Miyako, it's Tokyo! - Yeah.
From now on, the two of us will...
- combine our powers and work hard! - Yeah.
I don't need you anymore.
Welcome.
- Excuse me. - What a good shop.
Thank you very much. Is this your first time?
I rarely come to this kind of shop. But I was introduced here.
If there are beautiful people like you here,
I think I need to change my opinion. What's your name?
Rena. Pleased to meet you.
Rena, eh? What a good name. I'm Urasawa.
Pleased to be your acquaintance, Mr.Urasawa.
My pleasure.
What's wrong?
- Isn't "Livegate" a famous company? - You know it?
- Yes. - Really? I'm so happy~
In exchange for the introduction, I'll order the most expensive wine in this club.
1988's Romanee-Conti
The price is 1.5 million yen...
Okay. I'll take that one.
What's wrong?
Nothing. Thank you very much.
It's proof I've come closer with Rena. Good to know you.
My pleasure.
You can't have this kind of "upper-class" customer, right?
Even though everyone fusses over you,
the Number One in this club is me!
It's been a while.
I haven't seen you lately so I worried about you.
Would you accompany me today?
- Today is not so good... - Eh?
Rena. What's wrong?
I'm going to accompany a customer after this, so I don't really have time.
With Director Takenaka, right?
What are you planning?
Making a move on my customer.
I'm not at the wrong. I was invited by the Director.
- He did? - He is bored with you.
I'll be the new Number One now.
Your era is finished.
What are you saying!?
There's no way I would lose to someone like you!
I am Number One. I am above you.
Mr.Urasawa, I'm happy that you came again.
- Because I wanted to see you. - Thank you very much.
Dammit. I forgot my wallet.
Sorry, I'm going home for today.
You forgot your wallet?
There's no way a great place like this would let me drink on a bill.
Sorry.
It's okay. I have your Business Card,
After all, Mr.Urasawa is...
My precious customer.
Really? Then I'll take your word for it.
I've been wanting to spend more time with Rena after all.
That's a relief. I'm so stupid, forgetting my wallet.
That customer came again.
Again!? Unbelievable.
- Thank you for your hard work. - You too.
- Ai, have you heard? About Rena's sales... - No.
8 Million yen! It's a record for this shop.
That's great, as expected from Rena.
Lately Mr.Urasawa has run up a large bill...
Is everything okay?
Everything's okay. He's a director, and I have his business card.
Rena, our company is making a Celebrity Party.
It'll be held on the villa...
Rena's customer hasn’t come here lately.
There's a rumor that he ran away.
- Seriously!? Unbelievable. - Yes.
- The number you are calling isn't an active...
Why is it disconnected?
There's no one named Urasawa in our Director's line.
That's not possible! Check it again!
Even if you say that... I'm really sorry.
There's no way he's not here!
Call him! Call that Urasawa!
- Please stop, miss. - Wait!
You are fired.
Even if you are fired, a debt is a debt.
I will have you pay all of it. Don't even think of running away.
Ai...
I won.
I'm just having a run of bad luck.
Bad luck? Interesting.
What's so funny?
It's not about luck. You fell into my trap.
Don't tell... that customer..! You set that up?
You..What the hell is wrong with you!?
You're at fault for everything, Rena.
Because you betrayed your best friend.
What are you talking about?
Once, I played the role to make you look better.
Now, you are the one who's doing that.
Since I came to Tokyo, invited by you...
No good things happened to me.
You are... Miyoko!?
That's right, it's me.
You just realized that?
Even though I always thought you were my best friend,
and I believed you more than anyone else, you continued to betray me.
The role to make someone look better... That was interesting.
I wanted you to feel what I felt.
I changed my face, then took things precious from you.
Friends in the shop, customers, and your Number One position as well.
Humiliating, isn't it?
It's your fault...
Because of you, my life is ruined!
How are you going to fix it?
You reap what you sow!
Everything is your fault!
Since we were kids, you've been using me because you were barely pretty.
To make you look better, you became best friends with an ugly girl like me.
You too! Just because you can't win with your appearances,
You tried to get close to me, an orphan with no parents. Pitying me...
To feel superior against me! Only your family had money!
"She's a poor kid with no parents"
Because of me, kids stopped bullying you.
That an ugly girl like you was accepted in public,
was because I was there!
I hate you! Really hate you!
I hate you too! Someone like you...
Doctor, I want you to perform another operation.
I told you that I would only perform surgery once.
Not me, her.
Please alter her face.
I told you I would only perform surgery once.
Not me, her.
Please operate her face.
What's going on? To conclude your revenge?
No, for our friendship.
We've been together since we were kids,
and from now on, too.
Doctor, if you please.
I understand. I'll do it.
Brother!
[A month after the surgery]
Brother...
Why did you agree to operate? That's unthinkable...
It's not for revenge. but for their friendship.
They can't live without each other.
They've been that way since they were kids.
The beauty, Rena. By hating Miyoko's appearances...
She forgot the hardship of living without parents.
Miyako, by pitying Rena's life...
She overcome her ugliness, thinking she lived a better life than Rena.
By despising each other,
They discovered their own worth.
And it has not changed. That's why...
Rena needs the ugly face of Miyoko.
Beauty & ugliness are their balance.
They can't live without it.
For the two of them, by bending it...
It's just another form of their friendship.
Can something like that be called "friendship"?
“Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.”
Quoted from Aristotle, Ancient Greek Philosopher.
By putting Miyoko's face to Rena,
They become one?
Who knows?
But the two of them are trying to reset their life.
Their world...
What are they going to do now?
Departing.
