**[00:04] Sosuke**
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!

* 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...*
**[02:50] Sign**
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**
Part-timer
**[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.
**[07:49] Sign**
Fruit Milk
**[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...

Don't talk with your mouth full.
**[10:29] Sara**
Anyway, was this all truly only 500 yen?
**[10:30] Sign**
Complimentary breakfast: A tradition born in Gifu Prefecture where you receive a breakfast meal with the purchase of a drink at a café.
The annual spending on cafés per household in Gifu City is the highest in the nation. (There are various theories about this)
**[10:32] Sosuke**
Well, it *was* a complimentary breakfast.
**[10:34] Sara**
Still, it's just too much food!
**[10:37] Sara**
Are you making enough money?
**[10:40] Kira**
I basically run this place for fun
in my retirement.
**[10:43] Kira**
All I care about is that my guests are happy.
**[10:46] Rinri**
That's right! So don't worry your
pretty little head. Just eat up.
**[10:50] Rinri**
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.
**[13:29] Puriketsu**
What a nice café...

Heya, Livia-chan. Fancy meeting you again.
**[14:02] Livia**
You're...
**[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
people and the world?

Or they might live too far away to go.
**[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.
**[16:10] Livia**
Very well. I shall accept.
**[16:12] Takeo**
Heya, good job! Here, warm up with this.
**[16:15] Takeo**
Here. These are for you, Livia-chan.
**[16:17] Livia**
Ah, thank you very much.
**[16:19] Takeo**
I'll be waiting in a parking lot nearby.
**[16:22] Livia**
Understood.
**[16:24] Takeo**
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.
**[16:32] Takeo**
So, hey, there's somewhere I'd like
you to line up tomorrow, too.
**[16:35] Takeo**
Whaddya say?

I accept, of course!

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?

Sold Out
**[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?

**[20:10] Sosuke**
they have no way of telling
how much resellers stocked up.

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

**[20:14] Sosuke**
So they can't get a good read on demand,
**[20:14] Sign**
Yay!

**[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.
**[20:45] Sign**
Oolong Tea
**[20:46] Sosuke**
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.

I wanna hit it big at the horse races!

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.
