    Thanks!
[00:15] Omatsu
    All ready!
[00:17] Aona
    Thanks.
[00:19] Sara
    Can I get a new keg?
[00:22] Omatsu
    Hey, you're on a ten-minute pace.
[00:24] Omatsu
    Nice work.
[00:24] Kohinata
    Helps that it's a warm day.
[00:29] Nakaizumi
    Okay, Ruriko, you're all ready!
[00:32] Ruriko

    Ruriko the Beer Vendor Girl
[02:22] Murata
    I've been in the working world
    for a few years now.

[02:26] Murata
    My name's Murata, and I'm all-in
    on that corporate slave life.
[02:30] Murata
    But there's a place I go to escape it all.
[02:38] Murata
    The ballpark!
[02:41] Nagisa
    Batting first: shortstop, Shishio.
[02:45] Murata
    I love the ballpark.
[02:47] Murata
    There are so many ways to enjoy a game.
[02:52] Murata
    You can throw in with the
    cheer squad and get loud.
[02:53] Ruriko
    Would anyone like a beer?
[02:55] Murata
    You can pick a favorite player
    and watch intently.
[02:57] Ruriko
    Would anyone like a beer?
[02:59] Murata
    Me? I like to find a spot in the open seating
    section and just lose myself in the game.
[03:03] Ruriko
    Would anyone like a beer?!
[03:06] Ruriko
    Hey, mister!
[03:08] Murata
    Y-Yes?!
[03:09] Ruriko
    I've been asking if you'd like a beer.
[03:12] Ruriko
    Didn't you hear?
[03:14] Murata
    O-Oh, right...
[03:16] Murata
    I-I'll take one, then.
[03:19] Ruriko
    Hooray!
[03:23] Ruriko
    That'll be 700 yen!
[03:25] Murata
    But that's all foam!
[03:27] Ruriko
    No good?
[03:29] Ruriko
    The foam's got a higher alcohol content.
    I'm doing you a favor!
[03:34] Murata
    Um... Really?
[03:36] Murata
    I didn't expect to get hard sold
    with logic like that...
[03:42] Ruriko
    I'm totally kidding!
[03:44] Ruriko
    You can't tell when someone's making a joke?
[03:46] Ruriko
    You'll never get girls that way!
[03:48] Murata
    I know I can't. I've heard it
    a million times before.
[03:52] Ruriko
    Okay, here! A new one!
[03:54] Murata
    Th-Thanks.
[03:56] Ruriko
    Thank you for your patronage!
[03:58] Nagisa
    Batting third: left fielder, Nokogiriyama.
[04:03] Murata
    Hey, Nokogiriyama!
[04:05] Murata
    I'm counting on you!
    Vent some of that work stress for me!
[04:10] sign

[04:12] Murata
    U-Um... What are you doing?
[04:16] Ruriko
    Taking a break. That a problem?
[04:18] Murata
    Well... I couldn't really say.
[04:22] Ruriko
    The gear you have to carry
    as a vendor is crazy, y'know.

[04:33] Ruriko
    But one of the veterans here
    sells, like, 300 cups a day.
[04:33] sign
    Pant
[04:33] sign

[04:36] sign
    Me!
[04:36] sign
    Anyone like a beer?!
[04:37] sign
    Me!
[04:38] Ruriko
    Pretty awesome, right?
[04:39] Murata
    Yeah...
[04:41] Murata
    This vendor girl's pretty talkative.
[04:44] Murata
    I don't remember seeing her
    at this park before...
[04:46] Ruriko
    I figured I'd be earning big money in no time,
[04:50] Ruriko
    but it's been harder than I thought.
[04:52] Murata
    She's pretty confident in herself, I guess...
[04:55] Murata
    So just being cute isn't enough?
    Must be complicated.
[05:02] Ruriko
    I never said a word about
    thinking that I was cute.
[05:08] Ruriko
    I thought I'd succeed because of my gumption...
[05:12] Ruriko
    I get it now. So I'm your type, huh, mister?
[05:16] Murata
    W-Well... from context, I just
    assumed that was what you meant...
[05:20] Ruriko
    Cutie pie!
[05:28] Nokogiriyama
    Yeah!

    Pride of Chiba!!
[05:36] Ruriko
    Say, mister. Why aren't you
    in the cheering section?
[05:40] Murata
    Well...
[05:42] Murata
    It feels presumptuous for a
    bottom-rung salaryman like me
[05:46] Murata
    to shout encouragement
    at pro baseball players.
[05:49] Murata
    I'm not sure why they'd want a
    stranger like me rooting for them.
[05:52] Ruriko
    That's some seriously twisted logic!
[05:56] Ruriko
    Okay, then. Let's run a test.
[06:03] Ruriko
    Hang in there.
[06:06] Ruriko
    You're always doing such a great job at work.
[06:08] Ruriko
    You did a great job today, too.
[06:10] Ruriko
    Go! Go!
[06:13] Ruriko
    Fight!
[06:18] Ruriko
    We're strangers, too. Was that bad?
[06:22] Murata
    Er, well...
[06:24] Murata
    Not bad, I suppose.
[06:26] Ruriko
    See? Told ya!
[06:28] Murata
    It wasn't bad, but...
[06:30] Ruriko
    Up I go.
[06:33] Ruriko
    I think your encouragement will
    get through to the players, too.
[06:39] Ruriko
    Anyway, gotta get back to work!
[06:44] Ruriko
    Would anyone like a beer?
[06:48] Murata
    Don't go!
[06:51] Murata
    I-I'll take one more beer.
[06:55] Ruriko
    But you haven't finished that one. You sure?
[06:58] Murata
    We all have different ways
    of rooting for people.
[07:04] Ruriko
    Hey, is this you trying to encourage me?
[07:09] Ruriko
    Did you fall in love with me or something?!
[07:11] Ruriko
    Shouting "don't go!" like we're in a rom-com...
[07:15] Murata
    I shouldn't have stuck my neck out.
[07:19] Ruriko
    Here.
[07:20] Ruriko
    Look at this.
[07:23] sign
    Ruriko
[07:25] Ruriko
    Ruriko's my name.
    You can shout that instead.
[07:28] Murata
    Right.
[07:30] Ruriko
    Thanks. I'll do my best.
[07:56] Ruriko
    Talking to a guy was so nerve-racking!
[07:59] Ruriko
    The vets said you gotta be aggressive
    with the customers...
[08:03] Ruriko
    I hope my voice wasn't trembling!
[08:12] Murata
    I wish I could be confident
    and positive like her.
[08:22] Ruriko
    Either way, I managed to talk to a customer!
[08:25] Ruriko
    I've taken a big step today!
[08:27] Ruriko
    I'm gonna treat myself tonight!
[08:30] Ruriko
    Celebrate with a frosty cold beer!

    Miss, can I have a beer?
[08:39] Ruriko
    Wait. I could sneak back
    to the locker room...
[08:40] Kisa
    Um, miss?
[08:42] Ruriko
    Darn it, you know you can't do that!
[08:43] Kisa
    Miss? A beer?
SIGN    Welcome, Regular
[08:49] Murata
    The term "third place" always sounded
    a little pretentious to me...
[08:54] Murata
    But the ballpark is
    definitely like that for me.
[08:58] Murata
    And night games have their own special joy...
[09:01] Murata
    The 800-yen mega-portion ultra meal pack!
[09:05] Murata
    I skipped dinner and only had some
    chocolate for lunch to prepare.
[09:10] Murata
    Let's eat!
[09:11] Ruriko
    Hang on, mister.
[09:13] Murata
    Y-Yes?!
[09:15] Murata
    Hey, it's that vendor girl, Ruriko!
[09:18] Ruriko
    Eating a meal pack without beer?
[09:20] Ruriko
    You got a home run for a brain?
[09:22] Murata
    Home... run?
[09:24] Murata
    Um, h-hey there.
[09:27] Murata
    Good evening.
[09:28] Ruriko
    It's been five whole days, mister!
[09:32] Ruriko
    Here, a beer! 700 yen, please!
[09:35] Murata
    Her hard-sell technique
    has grown more advanced!
[09:42] Murata
    This tastes better than last time, somehow.
[09:46] Murata
    I get it. You can't beat the combo
    of beer and a meal pack.

    The way you pour the beer makes
    it taste way different, see?
[09:55] Ruriko
    I've been practicing the heck out of it!
[09:58] Ruriko
    You gotta maintain a 3:7 foam-to-beer ratio,
[10:01] Ruriko
    and form a solid head instead of "crab bubbles."
[10:04] Ruriko
    It's great to know you
    can taste the difference!
[10:06] Murata
    I didn't notice any of that.
[10:09] Ruriko
    You're the only one to catch on so far.
[10:11] Ruriko
    Is that a sign of the depths of your love?
[10:14] Ruriko
    Scary.
[10:14] Murata
    But she seems happy, so I'll stay quiet.
[10:17] Ruriko
    Hup!
[10:19] Ruriko
    Welp, buy from me again sometime!
[10:21] Murata
    S-Sure.
[10:24] Murata
    She's not gonna take a break today?
[10:28] Murata
    What are you thinking?! Of course she's not!

    He's still got it, though!
[10:55] Murata
    Out of beer just as it's getting good?
[10:58] Murata
    Where's Ruriko?
[11:01] Murata
    If I look for her too hard,
    she'll probably tease me again...
[11:05] Ruriko
    You in love with me or something?
[11:08] Vendor
    Would anyone like a beer?
[11:10] Murata
    Maybe I'll flag down another vendor.
[11:14] Ruriko
    Hey, mister.
[11:17] Ruriko
    What's all this, now?
[11:19] Ruriko
    I'm right here, you know.
[11:21] Ruriko
    You must've been looking everywhere for me.
[11:24] Murata
    Well, actually...
[11:26] Murata
    Yes, that's right.
[11:27] Ruriko
    Thank you for your patronage!
[11:30] Murata
    I just got teased anyway.
[11:32] Ruriko
    And not just that...
[11:34] Ruriko
    You actually gave up and
    almost bought from another girl!
[11:39] Murata
    She saw the whole thing!
[11:41] Ruriko
    You can't cheat on me, y'know.
[11:43] Ruriko
    Vendors like me rely on our regulars, y'know.
[11:46] Murata
    E-Even so...
[11:51] Murata
    I haven't bought from you
    often enough to be a regular!
[11:53] Murata
    And I can buy from anyone I like!
[11:57] Murata
    If I had the guts to talk back like that,
    maybe I'd be better at my job.
[12:02] Murata
    I'm sorry.
[12:08] Murata
    Yes!
[12:15] Vendor
    Thanks for always buying from me!

    Excuse me! I'd like one, too!

    Coming!
[12:24] Ruriko
    Hey, mister. You into the
    "sweetness and light" type?
[12:28] Murata
    I-I didn't say that!
[12:36] Ruriko
    Or is it this?
[12:38] Ruriko
    It's the ponytail, right?
[12:40] Murata
    W-Well...
[12:43] Ruriko
    That's it, right? Have I won your heart back?
[12:46] Murata
    You never had it in the first place!
[12:49] Ruriko
    Don't be so shy! Go on, look!
[12:53] Murata
    Look, I get it...
[12:56] Ruriko
    C'mon, look!
[12:57] Murata
    I'll make sure to buy from you next time.
[13:02] Ruriko
    You think you can be my regular that easily?
[13:05] Ruriko
    What a hopeless little guy.
[13:07] Ruriko
    Guess I'll come back another time!
[13:11] Ruriko
    See ya, Mr. Regular!
[13:16] Murata
    Sheesh.
[13:18] Murata
    Huh?!
[13:19] Murata

[18:26] Igarashi
    Your mommy and daddy will be here soon.
[18:29] Miku
    Really?!
[18:30] Igarashi
    Yeah.
[18:31] Igarashi
    And if you ever get lost at the ballpark again,
[18:34] Igarashi
    Mr. Candy here will be there, too.
[18:36] Miku
    Okay!
[18:40] (Flashback) Takimoto
    Mommy! Daddy!
[18:43] (Flashback) Igarashi
    Hey, kid, don't worry.
[18:49] (Flashback) Igarashi
    Can you tell me your name
    and how old you are?

[20:24] Takimoto
    Hey... Mr. Igarashi?
[20:28] Takimoto
    S-So, like...
[20:31] Takimoto
    I'm really sorry. I didn't take
    the security job seriously.
[20:36] Takimoto
    You gave me candy here
    when I was little, too.
[20:41] Takimoto
    I got lost, and I was super scared.
    I was crying my eyes out...
[20:46] Takimoto
    But I still love watching baseball.
[20:52] Igarashi
    I see.
[20:53] Igarashi
    And that child is working at the stadium now.
[20:58] Igarashi
    I'm glad you didn't end up
    hating the ballpark.
[21:08] Takimoto
    Yes, sir.

    Here, Miss Vendor. Use this.
[21:24] Ruriko
    No!
[21:26] Ruriko
    I'm an outsider here.
    It's not my place to cry.
[21:29] Ruriko
    I can hold in my tears.
[21:32] Security Chief
    Okay, I get it.
[21:33] Security Chief
    But you should still take it.
[21:35] Ruriko
    No! It's not my place!
[21:39] Trio
    So take it already!
