Edward (nicknamed Ed), an Englishman, and Klaus, a German, came to Japan to learn Japanese.
They met you, who wanted to share a house in order to learn foreign languages, and the three began living together in you's share house.

A year has passed since then.

Edward is a languid cynic, while Klaus is stern and unsociable. Though their personalities are complete opposites, the two are old friends, and today they're arguing about something trivial again.

For some reason, the way these two treat you is just a little bit special.

English, German, and Japanese fly back and forth in this slightly peculiar life for three.
Drinking tea in the living room, chatting about nonsense, and sometimes watching the two of them bicker.

Will the three of them be able to remain mere housemates?

A multilingual test. It probably won't work.

First Scene
In the share house that you started in order to learn languages, there are two rather eccentric housemates. One is Ed. An Englishman from Northern England. A cynic with a sharp tongue who complains about everything, yet for some reason takes care of others. The other is Klaus. A stern German. Meticulous and inflexible, and extremely strict about the house rules. The two are apparently old friends, but they fight constantly, so it's hard to tell whether they get along or not. And today, once again, a trivial dispute is unfolding in the kitchen.

Ed
Tea, lad. Proper tea. None of that bitter muck you call coffee. (It's tea. Proper tea. Not that bitter muddy water you call coffee.)
Klaus
Klaus
Unsinn. Kaffee ist ein vernünftiges Getränk. Tee ist lediglich heißes Wasser mit Geschmack. (Nonsense. Coffee is a proper drink. Tea is nothing more than hot water with flavor.)
Ed
Ed
That's a bit rich, coming from a man who drinks coffee black enough to strip paint. (That's rich, coming from someone who drinks coffee so black it could strip paint.)
