    Hey! Don't go too fast!
[00:08] Yuna
    Wait, you don't know how to ride a bicycle?
[00:08] Sign
    3 days ago
[00:11] Sara
    I-I'm perfectly fine without riding
    such a contraption.
[00:15] Yuna
    Hmm... Well, I was thinking
    about inviting you out sometime,
[00:19] Yuna
    but that'd be tough without a bike.
[00:22] Sara
    What?!
[00:23] Sara
    Sosuke!
[00:25] Sara
    I want to ride a bicycle!
[00:29] Sosuke
    A bike, huh?
[00:34] Sara
    Don't you dare let go...
[00:47] Sosuke
    To think I'd have to help her
    practice for two whole days...
[00:51] Sosuke
    I mean, I guess I'm the one who
    had two weekdays off, so...
[00:57] Sara
    I... I could ride forever!

[02:34] Livia
    Nothing beats a hot bath! I'd love
    to come at least once every three days.
[02:40] Livia
    The cold has made bathing
    in the river rather tough.
[02:45] Livia
    Come to think of it, when we were
    on the run in our home world...

    Parallel World: Former Ofim Empire Territory
[02:53] (Flashback) Livia
    Princess, look! A lake!
[02:56] (Flashback) Sara
    There!
[02:58] (Flashback) Livia
    Well done, Princess!
[03:03] Livia
    If only I could use magic
    like the princess...
[03:07] Livia
    No, there's no point in pining
    for what I don't have!
[03:10] Livia
    I must make preparations for winter.
[03:13] Livia
    First, I need to dry and store
    some grasshoppers.
[03:14] Child
    Mama! I'm gonna go in the bath over there!
[03:15] Livia
    I'll make plenty of food that keeps,
    like nukazuke pickles,
[03:18] Livia
    and then I need to insulate my home.
[03:20] Livia
    Wait!
[03:22] Livia
    I'm clearly planning to spend
     the winter homeless!
[03:26] Livia
    My goal is supposed to be
     creating a home for my princess!
[03:31] Mom
    Come on, let's go.
[03:32] Child
    That lady's talking to herself.
[03:32] Livia
    How am I supposed to survive like this...?
[03:35] Puriketsu
    Oh? Is that you, Livia-chan?
[03:37] Livia
    Huh?
[03:38] Livia
    Ah, Puriketsu-dono. It's been a while.
[03:42] Puriketsu
    Puriketsu is my professional handle.
[03:44] Puriketsu
    My actual name is Asumi Yumisashi.
[03:44] Sign

    Asumi Yumisashi
[03:47] Puriketsu
    You can call me either, though.
[03:49] Puriketsu
    You been doing good, Livia-chan?
[03:52] Livia
    Well, yes.
[03:53] Puriketsu
    You still homeless?
[03:55] Livia
    Yes...
[03:56] Livia
    How have things been
    with you, Puriketsu-dono?
[04:00] Puriketsu
    Well, the shop pretty much got
    shut down right after that incident.
[04:04] Livia
    Oh?
[04:05] Puriketsu
    Well, when the place got busted,
[04:07] Puriketsu
    it came out that the owner was
    involved in all kinds of stuff.
[04:09] Sign
    °What she imagined happened
[04:10] Puriketsu
    Apparently he split
    when the yakuza came after him.
[04:12] Puriketsu
    So we all got kicked out of the dorms, too.
[04:15] Livia
    My word! Then where are you living
    right now, Puriketsu-dono?
[04:18] Puriketsu
    I'm crashing at a coworker's place.
[04:21] Livia
    Do you not have any family?
[04:25] Puriketsu
    Well, I'm currently a runaway,
[04:29] Puriketsu
    so I can't exactly go home.
[04:31] Livia
    I see.
[04:33] Puriketsu
    Yeppers.
[04:34] Puriketsu
    So I'm aching for part-time work
    and an apartment.
[04:37] Puriketsu
    But normal hostess clubs and girly bars
    don't pay as much as that last place...
[04:42] Livia
    Is there a reason you need money urgently?
[04:46] Puriketsu
    Well, I'm in a band.
[04:49] Sign
    Animal Clinic
[04:49] Livia
    What is this "band" you speak of?
[04:49] Sign
    Dogs, Cats, Birds, and Bugs
    Give us a call if you need any help
[04:51] Puriketsu
    Um, like a group that plays music?
[04:54] Puriketsu
    Something like that.
[04:56] Livia
    Ah, so you're a musician, Puriketsu-dono!
[04:59] Puriketsu
    Oh, nah! I'm not legit enough
    to call myself that just yet.
[05:04] Puriketsu
    But one day, I'm hoping to have
    a major debut and go pro!
[05:08] Livia
    It's a wonderful thing to have
    a goal. Please do your best.
[05:12] Puriketsu
    Thankies!
[05:14] Puriketsu
    So, yeah, that's another reason
    I gotta save up some money.
[05:18] Puriketsu
    There's studio fees, ticket quotas,
    plus moving to Tokyo...
[05:22] Puriketsu
    I'll also need time to practice.
[05:24] Livia
    I see... That sounds quite burdensome.
[05:26] Puriketsu
    Well, I haven't as got it as bad as you,
[05:29] Puriketsu
    being a homeless foreigner and all, Livia-chan.
[05:32] Puriketsu
    Anyway, enough gloom and doom!
[05:34] Puriketsu
    We're in this huge bath right now!
[05:37] Livia
    Indeed.
[05:38] Puriketsu
    I know! Livia-chan, wanna hit the sauna?
[05:41] Livia
    That sounds lovely.
[05:48] Detective
    Now, everyone, let us solve this mystery.
[05:51] Detective
    The culprit behind these serial
    murders, Asshair Ripper...
[05:55] Detective
    is among us right now!
[05:56] Man
    What?! Is that true, Detective?!
[05:58] Woman
    So who is this Asshair Ripper?
[06:01] Detective
    Well, if you'll recall the first case...
[06:04] Detective
    After Asshair Ripper killed Iwase-san,
[06:04] Livia
    Apparently that man is
    supposed to be an investigator.
[06:06] Detective
    they ripped out his ass hair
    and spread it in the corridor.
[06:07] Livia
    But can someone so flashy
    truly be a detective?
[06:11] Puriketsu
    I wonder if we can change
    the channel somehow.
[06:11] Detective
    This was Asshair Ripper's faked alibi.
[06:14] Puriketsu
    It's not like we can follow
    the mystery from the middle.
[06:14] Man
    What?!
[06:16] Man
    So ripping out ass hair wasn't just a hobby?
[06:18] Livia
    Indeed.
[06:19] Woman
    And how does ripping out
    ass hair make for an alibi?
[06:20] Puriketsu
    Okay, I'm about done.
[06:22] Detective
    When Asshair Ripper spread the hair...
[06:25] Puriketsu
    In we go...
[06:26] Puriketsu
    Yikes, that's cold!
[06:27] Livia
    What in the world are you doing?!
[06:32] Puriketsu
    Come on, Livia-chan. Hop on in.
[06:35] Livia
    Why willingly subject yourself to cold water?
[06:37] Livia
    You're just going to chill yourself
    after warming up like that.
[06:40] Puriketsu
    Huh? Wait, Livia-chan, you don't
    take a cold bath after the sauna?
[06:45] Puriketsu
    It totally resets you.
[06:46] Livia
    Resets you?
[06:48] Puriketsu
    Anyway, just get in here!
[06:50] Livia
    R-Right...
[06:53] Livia
    Th-This is about as cold as the
    Nagara River has been lately!
[06:57] Livia
    Why must I endure such punishment?
[06:59] Livia
    Wait.
[07:01] Livia
    My skin feels rather prickled...
[07:04] Livia
    Strangely, the sensation's rather nice.
[07:07] Livia
    Is this the "reset" you spoke of?
[07:10] Puriketsu
    We're just getting started. Let's stay
    in here for about thirty more seconds.
[07:14] Livia
    Very well.
[07:15] Puriketsu
    Next, we're going to take a break here.
[07:17] Livia
    I see...
[07:19] Puriketsu
    Sauna for fifteen minutes, cold bath for
    one minute, and then a ten-minute break.
[07:22] Puriketsu
    We're gonna do three sets of this.
[07:25] Livia
    Okay.
[07:27] Sign
    2nd set
[07:31] Sign
    3rd set
[07:35] Livia
    O-Oh...
[07:37] Livia
    I am totally reset.
[07:39] Puriketsu
    That's great. Isn't it the best?
[07:42] Livia
    Yes. I don't think I can get
    enough of this feeling.

[07:53] Puriketsu
    Livia-chan!
[07:55] Puriketsu
    I am totes satisfied right now.
[07:58] Livia
    As am I!
[07:59] Livia
    I hope all our days can be like this.
[08:02] Puriketsu
    I know, right?
[08:06] Puriketsu
    I'm home!
[08:08] Puriketsu
    Huh? Why's everyone gathered here?
[08:11] Akiyama
    We have something important
    to talk about, Asumi.
[08:14] Puriketsu
    Oh, if it's about the apartment,
    I'm still working hard to find one,
[08:17] Puriketsu
    so could you wait just a bit longer?
[08:19] Akiyama
    That's not it.
[08:23] Akiyama
    We've decided to quit the band.
[08:26] Puriketsu
    Huh?
[08:28] Puriketsu
    Wh-What do you mean quit?
    Are we disbanding?
[08:32] Akiyama
    I mean, three out of four members
    are leaving, so basically.
[08:36] Puriketsu
    But why?!
[08:38] Puriketsu
    We all swore that we'd go pro!
[08:41] Tomochika
    It's just not possible for us.
[08:43] Yamazaki
    We're not bringing in any people,
    there aren't any views on our videos,
[08:48] Yamazaki
    and even when we get comments,
     they're just lukewarm.
[08:51] Puriketsu
    How are you giving up over that?
[08:54] Puriketsu
    If we just make better songs
    and practice more, we'll—
[08:57] Akiyama
    We're at our limit!
[09:00] Tomochika
    We just lack the talent.
[09:02] Yamazaki
    And we're broke.
[09:04] Puriketsu
    It's too early to decide
    we're not talented enough!
[09:07] Puriketsu
    As for money, I'll just work even
    harder at my part-time job!
[09:10] Akiyama
    You're too much!
[09:12] Akiyama
    By the way, we were all grossed out when
    you started working at a sex club.
[09:17] Akiyama
    We were never that committed
    to music in the first place.
[09:22] Puriketsu
    But...
[09:23] Akiyama
    Anyway, that's that. We're quitting.
[09:25] Puriketsu
    Don't say that! What am I supposed
    to do if you all leave me?
[09:32] Akiyama
    I'm sorry.
[09:35] Akiyama
    I'm moving in with my boyfriend as of today,
[09:38] Akiyama
    so let me know once you've found a place.
[09:41] Akiyama
    I've sent everything I need over already.
[09:43] Akiyama
    Do what you want
    with the furniture left here.
[09:46] Akiyama
    I'll even leave my guitar.
[09:48] Akiyama
    You can sell it for some money.
[09:52] Puriketsu
    So you're all really going to quit music...

    Well, it was a complimentary breakfast.
[10:34] Sara

[10:37] Sara
    Are you making enough money?

    And you, So-san! Come in more often.
[10:52] Sosuke
    I mean, even 500 yen a meal is a lot for me...
[10:57] Sara
    How dare you, Sosuke?!
[10:58] Sara
    If you knew such a fancy-pants way to eat,
    why didn't you tell me sooner?!
[11:02] Sara
    I've already eaten my wiener!
[11:06] Sosuke
    You call this fancy-pants?
[11:11] Sara
    It's so bougie of you to eat
    a hot dog for breakfast!
[11:14] Sara
    Where are we, New York?!
[11:15] Sosuke
    We're in Gifu.
[11:16] Rinri
    Sara-chan! Would you like another wiener?
[11:20] Sara
    Could I?!
[11:21] Rinri
    Sure! In return, sing me a song!
     I'd love to hear your voice, Sara-chan.
[11:26] Sosuke
    And you'll charge for karaoke, huh?
[11:28] Rinri
    But of course.
[11:29] Sara
    Sosuke, I wish to sing!
[11:33] Sosuke
    Just one song, okay?
[11:34] Sara
    Very well!
[11:38] Sara
    What's the difference between
    lettuce and cabbage?
[11:41] Sara
    I may be a genius, but even I don't know!
[11:45] Sara
    They're the same from afar
    or if you close your eyes!
[11:48] Sosuke
    Where on earth did she even learn this one?
[11:48] Sara
    Seriously, who named them?
     I'm waiting to hear from you
[11:51] Sara
    If there's a Cabbage King or Lettuce King
[11:55] Sara
    Does the lettuce win when it
    comes to the number of followers?
[11:58] Sara
    But even with both a Cabbage
    King and or Lettuce King around
[12:02] Sara
    I'm the best of the best
    with the most retainers!
[12:09] Puriketsu
    What the heck was that song?
[12:11] Puriketsu
    I've never heard anything like it.
[12:13] Sara
    What a splendid reaction!
[12:15] Sara
    I feel like it was truly worth singing.
[12:18] Puriketsu
    Yeah, that totally rocked.
[12:22] Puriketsu
    This is fun. I'm really feeling it,
    so maybe I'll do a song too.
[12:29] Puriketsu
    I don't care if anyone else needs me or not,
[12:36] Puriketsu
    because I can still find happiness on my own!
[12:42] Puriketsu
    It's all right! I can do this!
[12:46] Puriketsu
    I keep telling myself that,
    even as a shadow of who I was.
[12:49] Puriketsu
    I don't need help from any of you!
[12:52] Puriketsu
    I've suffered enough!
[13:01] Puriketsu
    Thanks much.
[13:02] Sara
    You're quite a brilliant singer!
    My performance was basically overshadowed.
[13:07] Sosuke
    I mean, she went in a completely
     different direction.
[13:11] Sosuke
    But you really are good.
[13:14] Sosuke
    Are you a pro?
[13:15] Puriketsu
    Oh, nah. I've still got a ways to go.
[13:18] Sosuke
    Really? You sounded good
     enough to be one to me.
[13:23] Puriketsu
    I'm stoked to hear you say that...
    But I'm definitely not there yet.

[14:06] Livia
    How dare you make me work
    at such an indecent establishment!
[14:10] Takeo
    What? But you're the one who decided
    to work there, aren't you, Livia-chan?
[14:14] Livia
    I-I, uh...
[14:16] Takeo
    But man, talk about bad luck,
    getting raided on your first day!
[14:20] Takeo
    Not that it was at all my fault,
    but I do feel bad about what happened.
[14:26] Takeo
    So I figured I could find you
    a new job to make up for it.
[14:31] Livia
    A new job?
[14:33] Takeo
    Yup! This time, it won't be for a shop
     or anything. Just a one-time gig.
[14:36] Livia
    I decline.
[14:38] Livia
    I'm sure it's something else uncouth.
[14:39] Takeo
    Oh, not at all!
[14:41] Takeo
    It's totally legal and totally wholesome!
[14:43] Takeo
    Most importantly, you'll be doing something
    good for people and the world!
[14:47] Livia
    For people and the world?
[14:49] Livia
    I guess it wouldn't hurt to hear you out.
[14:53] Takeo
    It's a job, but it's totally easy.
[14:56] Takeo
    I just need you to line up early
     at a shop called Gifuum
[14:59] Takeo
    and buy some limited-edition merch.
[15:00] Takeo
    I'll foot the bill, of course.
[15:02] Livia
    And that's all?
[15:04] Takeo
    Yup, that's all. And it pays 3,000 yen.
[15:07] Takeo
    Whaddya say?
[15:09] Livia
    What kind of shop will I be patronizing?
[15:12] Takeo
    It's a boutique catering to young ladies.
[15:15] Takeo
    Clothes and handbags and stuff.
[15:17] Takeo
    The goods I want you to snag are clothes
[15:19] Takeo
    from a collab with some famous designer.
[15:21] Takeo
    They go on sale tomorrow.
[15:24] Livia
    And why aren't you going
    to buy this yourself?
[15:27] Takeo
    Only ladies are allowed to,
    and you're limited to two per person.
[15:32] Livia
    I see. That's convincing enough.
[15:34] Livia
    But how does this benefit

[15:46] Livia
    Well, I suppose that's true.
[15:48] Takeo
    And because the supply is so limited,
[15:50] Takeo
    you can't get it unless you line up hours
[15:53] Takeo
    before the shop opens.
[15:54] Takeo
    So we do the hard work procuring things
    for a tiny handling fee
[16:00] Takeo
    and deliver 'em to the folks
     who really want 'em. That's my...
[16:04] Takeo
    or rather, that's my patron's mission.
[16:07] Livia
    I see. I suppose such jobs
    exist in this world.

    Heya, great job. I'm sure my
    customers will be pleased.
[16:27] Livia
    I'm glad to hear it. It feels
    nice to do something for others.

    So, hey, there's somewhere I'd like
    you to line up tomorrow, too.

[16:47] Livia
    Um, Shana's Custom Altingale...
    Shana's Custom Altingale...
[16:52] Kobayashi
    Here. This is it.
[16:53] Livia
    Huh?
[16:54] Livia
    Oh, thank you very much! Did Takeo-dono ask
    you to buy some too, Kobayashi-dono?
[17:00] Kobayashi
    Pretty much.
[17:04] Livia
    Still, there are so many...
[17:07] Livia
    Are these dolls quite popular in this world?
[17:11] Livia
    I'd like this, please.
[17:13] Employee
    I'm sorry, miss, but you have to take a quiz
     in order to purchase this here item.
[17:19] Livia
    All right.
[17:21] Employee
    Then please tell me the real full
    name of this robot's pilot.
[17:26] Livia
    Shana—No, wait!
[17:29] (Flashback) Takeo
    Here, take this.
[17:30] (Flashback) Livia
    What's this?
[17:31] (Flashback) Takeo
    You'll probably get asked something
    when you check out,
[17:35] (Flashback) Takeo
    so memorize what's written there.
[17:37] (Flashback) Livia
    I see...
[17:39] Livia
    Um, her full name is...
[17:41] Livia
    Kyaba...i-iku...
[17:47] Livia
    Kyabaik Nel Daikan...?
[17:50] Employee
    Th-That's correct!
[17:54] Livia
    That memo really helped me out.
[17:57] Takeo
    I'll be sure to invite you if
    another great opportunity comes by.
[18:00] Livia
    Thank you very much.
[18:05] Livia
    I think I'll splurge a bit on today's meal.
[18:11] Sara
    Ah, it's Livia!
[18:13] Livia
    Princess!
[18:15] Sara
    It's been some time.
[18:17] Sara
    Have you been well?
[18:18] Livia
    Yes! And you, Princess?
[18:21] Sara
    Indeed. Behold!
    I am now able to ride a bicycle!
[18:25] Livia
    Most impressive, Princess!
[18:26] Sara
    Are you still quite homeless?
[18:30] Livia
    Y-Yes, as embarrassing as that is...
[18:32] Sosuke
    It's gotten pretty cold pretty quickly,
     so don't push yourself too hard.
[18:35] Sosuke
    I don't mind if you sleep on
    the sofa in my office at night.
[18:39] Livia
    I-I am not pushing myself!
[18:42] Livia
    My living situation has improved of late!
[18:44] Livia
    I actually just finished work for the day.
[18:47] Sosuke and Sara
    Work?
[18:49] Livia
    I line up early in the morning
[18:51] Livia
    to procure these things
    called plastic models.
[18:53] Sosuke
    What? Models?
[18:55] Sosuke
    So where's what you bought?
[18:57] Livia
    I've already handed it over to my client.
[19:01] Sosuke
    Livia, do you have any idea what your
    client's going to do with these models?
[19:05] Livia
    I'm told they'll be delivered to people
[19:08] Livia
    who were unable to buy them otherwise.
[19:10] Sosuke
    Yeah, they'll be delivered, I bet.
[19:12] Sosuke
    By any chance, does your client hire
    other people to do the same thing?
[19:16] Livia
    Yes.
[19:19] Sara
    Say, Sosuke, is this...
[19:21] Sosuke
    Yup. A reseller. And they've got
    a group operation going on.
[19:25] Livia
    Is something the matter?
[19:27] Sara
    You absolute fool!
[19:29] Livia
    Princess?!
[19:30] Sara
    Unbelievable! To think my retainer
    is in cahoots with a reseller!
[19:35] Livia
    Wh-What is a reseller?
[19:39] Sosuke
    Someone who scoops up popular merch
[19:41] Sosuke
    and flips it at a much higher
    price for a profit.
[19:45] Livia
    W-Well, we did stand in line early in
    the morning for the people who wanted it,
[19:50] Livia
    so isn't it only fair
     to take a small handling fee?

[19:53] Sosuke
    The problem is that resellers
    end up buying up all the stock
[19:56] Sosuke
    so regular customers can't get to it.
[19:59] Sosuke
    Resellers only go after popular items,
[20:02] Sosuke
    so if they work in a group, those items
     instantly disappear from the market.
[20:05] Livia
    In that case, can't more be made?

[20:14] Sign
    It's just going to cost you

[20:14] Sosuke
    So they can't get a good read on demand,
[20:14] Sign
    Yay!
    Yay!
[20:14] Sign
    Mass quantities
[20:15] Sign
    Yay, yay, yay, yay!
[20:15] Sign
    Huh?
[20:15] Sign
    Huh?
[20:16] Sign
    Deep in the red
[20:16] Sosuke
    and they can't go all-in on manufacturing.
[20:18] Sosuke
    So the items never go back on the market,
    and desperate people flock to resellers.
[20:24] Sosuke
    Then they're worth even more,
[20:26] Sosuke
    so resellers jack up their prices
[20:28] Sosuke
    and work even harder to hoard all the merch.
[20:32] Livia
    I-I see...
[20:34] Sosuke
    There are even resellers who gather
    people to buy up merch for them.
[20:40] Sosuke
    Some go as far as hiring guys
    to do the recruiting for them.

    More and more stores
    are trying countermeasures,
[20:49] Sosuke
    but resellers use various
    methods to slither through,
[20:52] Sosuke
    so there's currently no real solution.
[20:56] Sara
    In other words, resellers aren't buying
    goods for people who can't buy them.
[21:01] Sara
    They're monopolizing the goods
    to hike up prices and reap unfair profits!
[21:06] Sara
    They bring chaos to the market,
     good customers,
[21:08] Sara
    stores, manufacturers... everyone!
[21:11] Sara
    They're utterly evil economic terrorists!
[21:13] Sara
    They are true enemies of the state!
[21:16] Sara
    That's what resellers are.
[21:18] Livia
    I-I'm an enemy of the state...?
[21:21] Sara
    Yes. Your crimes are worthy
    of eternal damnation.
[21:23] Sara
    Now, kindly disembowel yourself.
[21:24] Sosuke
    Huh?
[21:25] Livia
    Yes, Princess.
[21:26] Livia
    I have hidden my sword in a coin locker at
    the station. I shall go and fetch it at once.
[21:30] Sosuke
    Whoa, wait a minute! Hold it!
[21:32] Sosuke
    You're not really gonna
    commit seppuku, are you?
[21:35] Livia
    I have every intention to.
[21:37] Sara
    Livia... That was a joke.
[21:40] Sara
    Anyway, if you didn't know what was
    going on, you shan't be punished.
[21:43] Sosuke
    Not like you should be judging anyone
    or handing out sentences either.
[21:47] Livia
    Princess...
[21:49] Livia
    You're so merciful!
[21:51] Sara
    Just make sure you never involve
    yourself with resellers again.
[21:55] Livia
    Yes, Princess! I swear on my life!
[21:58] Sara
    Good.

    Dear Customers,
    This item is currently sold out.
    We are unsure of a restock.
[23:30] Employee
    I'm sorry. GF9 is sold out.
[23:33] Sosuke
    Even though it came out today?
[23:35] Employee
    The customers who lined up early this
    morning bought up all the copies...
[23:39] Sosuke
    Resellers.
[23:41] Sara
    Curses!
[23:42] Sara
    I shall cut down the resellers
     and their toadies in a single blow!
[23:46] Sara
    No mercy!
[23:48] Sosuke
    What a coincidence. I feel the same way.
