[00:29] Miyako
    Hey, aren't you going to sing?
[00:32] Itsuki
    I don't have time for that right now.
[00:34] Miyako
    Then why'd you even come to karaoke?
[00:37] Itsuki
    Because he'll show up at
    my place if I'm there.
[00:40] Miyako
    He?
[00:42] Itsuki
    My editor.
[00:43] Miyako
    Are you that close to your deadline?
[00:46] Itsuki
    Listen well, Miyako.
[00:48] Itsuki
    There are two kinds of deadlines.
[00:50] Miyako
    Two kinds?
[00:52] Itsuki
    There's the deadline (tentative)
[00:54] ---
    that's set with the idea that some
    unforeseen incident may occur.
SIGN    Deadline
SIGN    Deadline (Tentative)
[00:58] Isuki
    Then there's the deadline that,
    if missed, may prevent you
[01:01] ---
    from releasing your book.
SIGN    True Deadline
[01:02] Itsuki
    The actually dangerous, true deadline.
[01:04] Miyako
    And which one are you
    about to miss right now?
[01:10] Itsuki
    The true deadline...
[01:12] Toki
    I...tsu...ki...
[01:16] Itsuki
    Impossible! How did you find me?!
[01:18] Toki
    To prepare for incidents like this,
[01:20] ---
    I messed with your smartphone so I'd
    be able to locate you at any time.
[01:24] Itsuki
    But that's a crime!
[01:26] Toki
    If it's for the sake of releasing a book,
    committing a crime is nothing to me.
[01:30] Toki
    That's what it means to be an editor.
[01:32] Toki
    You're coming with me.
[01:33] ---
    You won't leave the office
    until you're finished writing.
[01:36] Itsuki
    Let me go! You can do whatever
    you want to my body,
[01:39] ---
    but you can't rob me of my pride!
[01:40] Toki
    The last thing authors who miss
    deadlines get to talk about is pride.
[01:43] Toki
    Come on, let's go, you idiot.
[01:44] Itsuki
    Just... Just hear me out!
[01:46] Itsuki
    Ow, ow, ow, ow! Hey!
[01:48] Toki
    You're squeezing too hard! Ow!
[01:48] Toki
    Sorry for the ruckus.
    It was Shirakawa-san, wasn't it?
[01:51] Itsuki
    I can walk on my own!
[01:52] Toki
    The next time this idiot decides to run away,
[01:54] ---
    Put me down, I say!

SIGN    The Spirit Knight of the Distant Sea
[02:34] Haruto
    Well... I think the thing to
    look forward to the most
[02:37] Haruto
    would be the intense battle scenes that
    you'd only be able to see in an anime.
[02:41] Itsuki
    Let go of me!
[02:42] Toki
    Give it up already!
[02:46] Haruto
    They're a bit noisy next door...
[02:56] Toki
    You're not going home
    until you finish writing.
[03:18] Itsuki
    It's no use. There's no way
    I'll be able to finish in time.
[03:25] Itsuki
    The only thing I can do is run.
SIGN    Little Sister
[03:43] Setsuna
    What are you doing, Sensei?
[03:45] Itsuki
    Oh, it's just you, Setsuna.
[03:47] Itsuki
    Are you running away from the editor, too?
[03:49] Setsuna
    Nope. I just had a meeting today
    and was about to head home.
[03:53] Itsuki
    I see.
[03:54] Setsuna
    Oh, yeah, Sensei...
[03:56] Setsuna
    Wanna go look at some girls' asses?
[04:02] Itsuki
    Huh?
SIGN    Little Sister
[04:07] Itsuki
    I ended up coming to this mixed bath hot
    spring inn without a second thought, but...
[04:11] Itsuki
    I have a feeling the editor will
    kill me if he ever finds out.
[04:15] Itsuki
    Well, I turned off the GPS on my smartphone,
    so he shouldn't be able to find me.
[04:20] Setsuna
    All right, Sensei! Let's head to the bath!
[04:23] Itsuki
    You're really going to the mixed bath?
[04:26] Setsuna
    But of course!
[04:29] Itsuki
    Why do you want to see
    girls' asses that badly?
[04:32] Setsuna
    For input!
[04:34] Itsuki
    Input?
[04:35] Setsuna
    Well, I'm drawing a lot of asses in the
    series I'm working on right now, right?
[04:39] Itsuki
    Well, yeah, I guess.
[04:41] Setsuna
    The composition on them is
    all starting to look the same,
[04:44] ---
    so I feel like I'm in a rut lately.
[04:47] Setsuna
    So I want to stare at some
    new asses for inspiration.
[04:52] Itsuki
    I guess even he gets stuck
    creatively sometimes...
[05:06] Itsuki
    I somehow feel betrayed...
[05:08] Setsuna
    What was that?
[05:12] Itsuki
    Nothing.
[05:15] Setsuna
    Sensei, your ass is pretty cute.
[05:18] Itsuki
    S-Stop staring, idiot.
[05:20] Setsuna
    Well, let's go!
[05:23] Itsuki
    Sure.
[05:52] Hag A
    Well, lookie here.
    We got some cuties coming in.
[05:58] Hag B
    Oh, you're right. It's not often
    we see young men come in.
[06:03] Setsuna
    Heya!
[06:05] Setsuna
    Super nice view, isn't it?
[06:08] Itsuki
    H-Hey!
[06:11] Hag B
    Where'd you come from, boys?
[06:14] Setsuna
    Tokyo! How about you young ladies?
[06:16] Hag a
    Did you hear that? He called us young ladies!
[06:21] Hag B
    It's been about three years
    since someone called me that!
[06:26] Itsuki
    You must mean thirty years...
[06:28] Hag A
    Too bad there are only us shriveled-up,
    wrinkled old hags around.
[06:33] Setsuna
    That's not true! Girls are beautiful,
    no matter how old they are!
[06:38] Hag A
    Oh, my! He called us girls!
[06:42] Hag B
    If you keep talking like that,
    I'm gonna fall for you.
[06:48] Hag A
    You there. Why don't you come and join us?
[06:51] Hag B
    Don't worry. We don't bite.
[06:59] Itsuki
    N-No, I'm...
[07:02] Setsuna
    What's the matter, Sensei?
[07:09] ---
    W-Wai—
[07:10] Hag B
    Come now, little boy.
[07:18] Itsuki
    S-Setsuna! I'm going to the men's bath!
[07:25] Nayuta
    I want to go to a hot spring
    with Itsuki-senpai, too.
[07:29] Nayuta
    Then we could bathe together and...
[07:37] Itsuki
    That was horrifying...
[07:54] Itsuki
    H-How?! I turned off my GPS!
[07:56] Toki
    I thought this might happen,
[07:59] ---
    so I put a homing device in your clothes.
[08:01] Itsuki
    You actually went that far?!
[08:03] Toki
    I told you...
[08:05] Toki
    If it's to get the book out...
[08:08] Toki
    I'll do whatever it takes.

    N-No!

    where we put authors and manga artists
    so they can concentrate on their work.

    Y-You can't be serious!
    I can't work in a place like this!

    If you're going to trap me somewhere,
    at least put me in a hotel like Kanikou!
[08:55] Toki
    The only ones afforded that are authors
[08:57] ---
    who've had their work made into anime,
    and only a handful of the top-selling ones.
[09:03] Toki
    Just three more days.

    That's the real final deadline.
[09:07] Itsuki
    Wh-What if I don't make it?
[09:10] Toki
    I'll kill you.

    The editors aren't completely heartless.
[12:10] Haruto
    If you really can't do it,
    I'm sure they'll delay the release.

    Oh, yeah. Your new volume comes
    out in March, too, doesn't it?
[12:19] Haruto
    Yeah, but mine's already through revisions.

    So, what are you going to do? Give up?
[12:29] Itsuki
    No. I'll keep at it a little longer.
[12:34] Haruto
    I see. Well, good luck.

    By the way, you can't use your
    cell phone in here either, right?

    Do you want me to give Chihiro-kun
    or Nayu-chan any messages from you?
[12:51] Itsuki
    Just tell them not to worry.
[12:53] Haruto
    Roger. Well, do your best.
