[00:06] Narrator
    The Edo period. Two commoners in Dragon
    Palace Town, Mei-san and Momobee,
[00:10] ---
    are slacking off as usual.
[00:14] Sweets
    Man...
[00:15] Sweets
    I wanna eat some desserts from the convenience
    store and watch a K-drama on my phone.
[00:18] Meisaku
    Hey now!
[00:19] ---
    We're giving the classic genre
     of "period drama" a try today,
[00:20] Sign
    Period Drama
[00:20] Sign
    Period Drama
[00:23] ---
    so be more era-appropriate.
[00:25] Sweets
    But I just can't get into it.
    My outfit's the same.
[00:28] Meisaku
    Swe— I mean, Momobee-san,
    your outfit suits period dramas.
[00:32] Bolt
    Mei-san! Momobee! You in there?
[00:34] Meisaku
    Ah, it's Kamegoro-san, the landlord.
[00:36] Bolt
    I'm coming in!
[00:37] Bolt
    Are you two slacking off in
    the middle of the day again?
[00:39] Meisake
    Wait, why are you drawn like that?!
[00:41] Bolt
    Oh, this? I look like I'm
    from the Edo period, no?
[00:43] Meisaku
    Yeah, too much. You stand out.
[00:45] Bolt
    My arms are getting tired, though.
[00:46] Sweets
    It's because you can't move them.
[00:48] Bolt
    But never mind all that!
[00:49] ---
    The top merchant in town,
    Mr. Rice Store, wants to see you!
[00:50] Sign
    Mr. Rice Store
[00:50] Sign
    Mr. Rice Store
[00:50] Sign
    Mr. Rice Store
[00:52] Sweets
    Boo.
[00:53] Meisaku
    Well, we do owe him money.
[00:56] Sweets
    Monthly credit card payments are rough.
[00:58] Meisaku
    They didn't have that in the Edo period.
[01:02] Musubi
    Work! Work, I say!
[01:04] ---
    Keep baking this artisan bread
    that's so popular right now!
[01:07] Sweets
    You're called Mr. Rice Store, but you're a baker?
[01:09] Meisaku
    They had artisan bread in the Edo period?
[01:12] Musubi
    You're working for free today!
[01:14] ---
    No breaks!
[01:15] ---
    And if you make a mistake, 
    I'll yell at you in front of everyone!
[01:18] Sweets
    That's an abuse of power!
[01:19] Meisaku
    That's illegal nowadays!
[01:20] Tsurukou
    I heard all of that.
[01:22] Meisaku
    Oh, it's the apprentice, Tsurukichi-san.
[01:24] Tsurukou
    You're doing the same work as me,
    but you're not getting paid?
[01:28] Meisaku
    Right.
[01:28] Tsurukou
    You can... sue him and bleed him dry.
[01:31] Meisaku
    What?
[01:32] Tsurukou
    There's no "equal pay for equal work,"
[01:32] Sign
    No equal pay for equal work
    No paid leave
    No rest periods
[01:34] ---
    paid leave, or sufficient
     rest periods, right?
[01:36] Tsurukou
    That's a violation of the Labor Standards Act!
[01:37] Sign
    Violation of 
    the Labor 
    Standards Act
[01:38] Meisaku
    That didn't exist in the Edo period, though.
[01:41] Musubi
    Well, that's quite enough of that.
[01:44] Tsurukou
    Master Rice Store!
[01:45] Musubi
    I'd be in real trouble if I got
     sued, so the two of you...
[01:48] ---
    ...are going to die here!
[01:49] Sweets
    Then, we'll have to fight!
[01:51] Meisaku
    A fight scene! A staple of the period drama!
[01:53] Tsurukou
    Wait.
[01:54] ---
    It violates weapons laws,
    it's criminal intimidation
[01:55] Sign
    Violation of the Weapons Control Act
    Criminal Intimidation
    Attempted Murder
    Some other stuff
[01:56] ---
    and attempted murder,
     among other things.
[01:58] Tsurukou
    Easily indefinite imprisonment
     if you get caught.
[01:59] Sign
    Indefinite
    Imprisonment
[02:00] Musubi And Sweets
    I-Indefinite imprisonment?!
[02:03] Meisaki
    You're afraid of a punishment
    that didn't exist back then?
[02:05] Nokio
    Royal
[02:05] Nokio
    Warrant
[02:05] Nokio
    Time's up, Mr. Rice Store!
[02:07] ---
    You're under arrest!
[02:08] Sweets
    Ah, the police are here!
[02:10] Meisaku
    I don't think they had
    police in the Edo period...
[02:13] Musubi
    I need to make a break for it...
[02:14] Nokio
    Over my dead body!
[02:16] Meisaku
    You throw coins at your foes
     like Zenigata Heiji, huh?
[02:20] ---
    But wait, that's a present-day coin!
[02:22] Nokio
    My 500 yen... What a waste!
[02:24] Tsuruko
    That's like five bucks.
[02:25] Nokio
    My 500 yen!
[02:27] Musubi
    Hey, watch it! I'm gonna
    shame you on social media!
[02:30] Meisaku
    Social media?
[02:31] Musubi
    "He's throwing money at me lol" ...and post.
[02:31] Sign
    Mr. Rice Store
[02:31] Sign
    He's throwing money at me lol
[02:34] Meisaku
    Anything goes in the Edo period, huh?
[02:36] Prez
    Hyah!
[02:37] Meisaku
    Who is it this time?
[02:38] Prez
    I, the Unfettered President, have arrived!
[02:42] Sweets
    Unfettered?
[02:43] Meisaku
    Don't you mean "Shogun"?
[02:45] Prez
    I said "President"!
[02:47] Meisaku
    You just came to throw a fit?
[02:49] Prez
    Hyah!
[02:51] Musubi
    Ow...
[02:52] Nokio
    Now's our chance! You're under arrest!
[02:56] Narrator
    And so, Mr. Rice Store's wrongdoing
    was exposed, and he was arrested.
[03:00] ---
    Mei-san and Momobee both filed for
    bankruptcy and had their debts written off.
[03:05] Bolt
    Sometimes bankruptcy's necessary.
[03:07] Sweets
    Convenience store desserts are the best.
[03:09] Meisaku
    You guys aren't cut out for period dramas!
[03:13] Narrator
    And that settles all that!
