**[00:02] Kantoku**
All right, we're starting the late night sale.
**[00:06] All**
Okay.
**[00:08] Hio**
I know it's the last volume
of a popular light novel,
**[00:11] ---**
but is it really worth
changing our store hours for?
***SIGN*** The Devil Is an Idol
***SIGN*** It's been three years since the last volume, hasn't it?
**[00:18] Umio**
How could you say that?
**[00:19] Umio**
We've been left waiting for three years
**[00:21] ---**
since they announced the final volume.
**[00:22] Umio**
We waited three years right at the climax!
**[00:26] Hio**
Umi-chan?
**[00:26] Hio**
The author cried blood, sweat and tears into this
**[00:29] ---**
weathering the storm of speculations
and criticism online,
**[00:32] ---**
and finally after three years,
this is the work of their soul!
**[00:34] ---**
Umi-chan?
**[00:37] Kantoku**
Is he a zealot?
**[00:38] A**
He's a zealot.
**[00:38] A**
Indeed, a zealot.
**[02:12] Fu**
So many people.
**[02:14] Fu**
I hope I'll make the last train.
**[02:17] Kantoku**
We're open for business!
**[02:23] Kameko**
The special edition is 1,200 yen!
**[02:26] Hio**
Thank you!
**[02:28] Sensei**
I can take the next customer here.
**[02:31] Hio**
Please make four lines.
**[02:33] Kantoku**
Umio, inventory!
**[02:34] Umio**
Twelve more seconds!
**[02:35] Kantoku**
Do it in seven!
**[02:36] Sensei**
I'm out of change!
**[02:38] Kantoku**
Use this!
**[02:39] Kantoku**
Register four, you're late!
**[02:40] Kameko**
Sorry.
**[02:42] Kantoku**
What's going on?
**[02:43] Hio**
Please help us work, Director.
**[02:45] Kantoku**
I'm sure I can at least watch over you.
**[02:49] Hio**
Don't just watch over us, move your hands!
**[02:55] Kantoku**
Store's closed.
**[02:57] Umio**
Those two hours were a storm.
**[03:00] Hio**
That was seriously crazy.
**[03:02] Sensei**
The customers, they wouldn't stop.
**[03:05] Sensei**
I'm a total big-shot.
**[03:07] Kantoku**
All right, you can all head home.
**[03:09] Kantoku**
I'll clean up.
**[03:12] Hio**
Is that why you were saving your energy?
**[03:14] Kantoku**
Sure.
**[03:15] Hio**
*Yeah, right.*
**[03:17] Hio**
But the time... what should I do?
**[03:20] Hio**
Fuga-chan came shopping,
but she can't get home now either.
**[03:23] Fu-girl**
I was trying to be first in line
and then head home.
**[03:27] Sensei**
How about—
**[03:29] All**
Drink bar, cheers!
**[03:31] Hio**
Good work, everyone.
**[03:33] Sensei**
Let's have something to eat.
**[03:35] Hio**
You really like family
restaurants, Sensei-chan.
**[03:38] Sensei**
Yeah, they're relaxing.
It's like being at home.
**[03:42] Sensei**
And you can hang out at the
drink bar for pretty long.
**[03:44] Hio**
Oh, do you draw manga at
family restaurants, too?
**[03:47] Sensei**
Yeah, I can be pretty productive.
**[03:56] Hio**
Fuga-chan, are you beat?
**[03:59] Hio**
You should go sleep in the nap room at Uma.
**[04:02] Umio**
I'll take her—
**[04:06] Hio**
Sommelier-kun, are you going
to take her there for us?
**[04:09] Sommelier**
Yeah.
**[04:10] Hio**
Thanks.
**[05:07] Fu-girl**
Umio-kun.
**[05:18] Kantoku**
Done, finally.
**[05:21] Kantoku**
Sommelier.
**[05:22] Kantoku**
Is Fu Girl sleeping?
**[05:24] Sommelier**
Yeah.
**[05:25] Kantoku**
Ah.
**[05:27] Kantoku**
Is everyone at the family restaurant?
**[05:29] Kantoku**
You should go be with them,
if Fu Girl is asleep.
**[05:32] Kantoku**
No way, you weren't waiting for me, were you?
**[05:54] Kantoku**
Want a drink?
**[05:58] Kantoku**
All right, you're not sleeping tonight.
**[06:02] Hio**
We brought some snacks.
**[06:06] Hio**
Director's sleeping!
**[06:11] Hio**
I can finally get him
back for all his pranks.
**[06:14] Umio**
Don't go too far.
**[06:16] Hio**
S-S-Sommelier-kun, l-l-let me go!
**[06:20] Hio**
Sommelier-san
**[06:22] ---**
defended Director.
**[06:36] Umio**
Fu Girl-san.
**[06:37] Fu-girl**
Shh, you'll wake them up.
**[06:40] Umio**
R-Right...
**[06:43] Fu-girl**
Ever since we first met, I've been thinking.
**[06:48] Fu-girl**
Umio-kun, you're my perfect—
**[06:54] Fu-girl**
My perfect zombie.
**[06:56] Umio**
What?
**[06:59] Umio**
I'm in zombie makeup!
**[07:02] Fu-girl**
You look so good.
**[07:04] Fu-girl**
I love zombies.
**[07:06] ---**
All I ever do is think about the
town being filled with zombies.
***SIGN*** This'll last me ten days
**[07:10] Fu-girl**
I've been image training for how to respond.
***SIGN*** Do they respond to sound? Or smell?
***SIGN*** I want a chainsaw,
but they're expensive.
***SIGN*** Fu Girl
**[07:13] Umio**
That's why you're Fu Girl!
**[07:14] Fu-girl**
You have the face of the best
friend guy who helps his friends
**[07:18] ---**
and becomes a zombie and gets
killed by his friends in the end.
**[07:22] Umio**
What kind of face is that?!
**[07:26] Umio**
Like Roger from Romero's *Dawn of the Dead*.
**[07:29] Fu-girl**
So please—
**[07:32] Fu-girl**
will you be my practice target
for the zombie attack?
**[07:36] Fu-girl**
Dodging zombies... this is new!
**[07:39] Umio**
I'm not a zombie!
**[07:43] Sensei**
Fuga-chan's gone beast mode.
**[07:45] Hio**
What's beast mode?
**[07:47] Kantoku**
This is good footage!
***SIGN*** Is the Denki-gai pumped?
**[08:15] Hio**
Denki-gai late-summer greetings festival?
**[08:18] Hio**
I'm so embarrassed.
**[08:20] Umio**
Fu Girl-san's been really
pumped since yesterday.
**[08:25] Hio**
That's unusual.
**[08:27] Umio**
She says she wants to win the
10,000 yen prize money and party.
**[08:33] Hio**
Party?!
**[08:34] Sensei**
Prize money.
**[08:35] Fu-girl**
Y-You bastards, you're late!
**[08:38] Fu-girl**
Who were you nyan-nyan-ing with, you bitches!
**[08:42] Hio**
What's wrong with you, Fuga-chan?
**[08:44] Hio**
Do you have a fever?
**[08:46] Fu-girl**
How dare you insult the commander!
**[08:48] Fu-girl**
Speak only when you're spoken to!
**[08:50] Kameko**
Perfect!
**[08:51] Kantoku**
She says she's changing her
tone to get in the mood.
**[08:53] SSD**
Hi, everyone!
**[08:55] ---**
Are you readilicon?!
**[08:58] Umio**
That's the Denki-gai official
character, SSDko-chan!
**[09:01] SSD**
All right, let's start the Denki-gai

**[09:06] SSD**

I'm punishing you if you lose!
**[09:38] Fu-girl**
Pantsu race!
**[09:40] SSD**
Sommelier of Umanohone
team wins the pantsu race!
**[09:43] Umio**
Yeah!
**[09:45] Kameko**
That's a good face!
**[09:46] Hio**
Good work, Sommelier-kun!
**[09:48] Fu-girl**
I approve! You can come to
my house and pet my brother.
**[09:52] Fu-girl**
You want three? You want
three panties? You pig!
**[09:56] Kantoku**
This is a good start.
**[09:57] Fu-girl**
Let's win and go party!

Cocky little...
**[10:04] Fu-girl**
All right, you're up, Hio-tan, go!
**[10:07] Hio**
Yes, sir, I'll do my best.
**[10:09] SSD**
And now, the girls-only Golden Ball Roll!
**[10:13] Hio**
Gieppi! Why are all the games like this?
**[10:16] Kantoku**
It's in the culture.
**[10:18] Kantoku**
We're good at rolling balls, aren't we?
**[10:20] Hio**
What's with the hand motion?
**[10:22] ---**
Stop it with the sexual harassment, Director!
**[10:24] SSD**
Are you in posilicon?
**[10:28] Kantoku**
Put your hands on the ball!
**[10:30] Kantoku**
Your left hand just touches it.
**[10:32] Hio**
Why do you have to say it like that?!
**[10:36] Hio**
It's kind of soft.
**[10:37] SSD**
Startilicon!
**[10:40] Hio**
And it's lukewarm!
**[10:43] SSD**
The golden balls are rolling!
**[10:45] SSD**
The girls' hesitant touch
grips the imagination!
**[10:49] Hio**
It's so hard to roll,
why is it slightly egg-shaped?
**[10:53] Kantoku**
It's realistic, right?
**[10:55] A**
Oh, pardon me.
**[10:56] A**
Our two balls touched. I lost balance.
**[10:59] Hio**
Your sexual harassment is as bad as Director!
**[11:01] A**
Balance. Ballanace. Yes, ballance.
**[11:04] Hio**
Ballance?!
**[11:05] A**
My ball hit your ball.
**[11:06] Hio**
Balls?!
**[11:07] Hio**
Balls, balls, balls, balls...
**[11:13] SSD**
Hio-tan has been run over
by a golden ballicon!
**[11:17] SSD**
Goalicon!
**[11:20] Kantoku**
Hio-tan!
**[11:21] Umio**
Are you all right?
**[11:22] Kameko**
Hang in there!
**[11:25] Hio**
I can't marry anymore.
**[11:26] Hio**
This is awful.
**[11:28] Kantoku**
Vile... they'll pay!
**[11:30] Umio**
I'll avenge you, Senpai!
**[11:32] Fu-girl**
Go, Umio!
***SIGN*** Wife-Carrying Race
**[11:34] SSD**
Up next is the Wife-Carrying Raceilicon!
**[11:37] Kantoku**

**[11:39] Umio**
Of course.
**[11:41] Umio**
My wife is
**[11:43] ---**
Onomi-chan!
**[11:50] SSD**
Startilicon!
**[11:55] SSD**
Oh, Umio has taken a strong check!
**[11:58] SSD**
He's not budging!
**[12:02] Umio**
My love for my wife will never falter!
**[12:05] SSD**
And his big speech!
**[12:06] A**
I'm not so sure.
**[12:08] Umio**
What?
**[12:09] A**
Behold!
**[12:11] SSD**
It's this season's top character,
Tanegashima Zavier-chanilicon!
**[12:17] SSD**
That's a rare one; there are no 3D goods
on sale for this brand-new characterilicon!
**[12:22] Umio**
It's so high quality!
**[12:25] SSD**
Umio is waverilicon!
**[12:39] A**
Whoops, sorry.
**[12:41] SSD**
Umio is disqualicon!
**[12:47] A**
How unfaithful of you to be
attracted to another character.
**[12:51] A**
A true man calmly abandons his
prior wife to welcome his new one.
**[12:57] A**
He only ever has but one wife.
**[13:03] Umio**
I'm defeated.
**[13:03] ---**
Umio!
**[13:05] Fu-girl**
How dare he treat model figures
as anything less than human!
**[13:09] SSD**
Up next is a team game: Tunaf-war!
***SIGN*** Tunaf-war
**[13:14] Kantoku**
We need five for tug-of-war.
**[13:16] Kantoku**
Hio-tan and Umio are incapacitated.
**[13:19] Kantoku**
Then, Kameko, you're up, too!
**[13:22] ---**
Er, I'm not that kind of character...
**[13:25] Fu-girl**
Hurry up and change!
**[13:26] Fu-girl**
You're good at undressing,
aren't you, you bitch?!
**[13:30] Kame**
This is embarrassing.
**[13:32] Kantoku**
No, it looks good on you.
**[13:34] Kame**
Please don't record me.
**[13:39] SSD**
Tunaf-war, start!
**[13:46] SSD**
They're almost evenly matchilicon!
**[13:50] Kame**
I'm going to do everything I can.
**[13:53] A**
All right, do *the thing*!
**[13:55] B**
Sir!
**[13:57] B**
Kameko-kun, Kameko-kun.
**[14:01] Kame**
It's the fabled Carl Zyeiss joint-developed
lens SMC-TENTAX 18mm F3.5,
**[14:07] ---**
and at an insanely low price!
**[14:10] A**
Oh? That's a nice lens. Can I see?
**[14:14] Kame**
Another buyer!
**[14:15] Kame**
I'm buying it!
**[14:16] Kantoku**
No, Kameko! It's a trap!
**[14:20] Kame**
Please.
**[14:21] C**
Thank you.

Yes!

Oh well.

Finally, we have the refreshing Water FiXC!
**[15:04] SD**
First, you will form teams of three or less.

**[15:14] SD**
And regardless of the games
before, the last team standing
**[15:17] ---**
at the end of this game is victoriouXC!
**[15:22] Fu-girl**
Typical!
**[15:24] Fu-girl**
All right, we're going to win!
**[15:33] Sensei**
What? Swimsuits?
**[15:35] Sensei**
Now way I'm wearing a swimsuit!
That's embarrassing!
**[15:37] Umio**
Sensei!
**[15:39] Fu-girl**
C-Coward!
**[15:40] Fu-girl**
Did you leave your balls somewhere?
**[15:43] Fu-girl**
In that case...
**[15:48] Fu-girl**
All right, do you all have your weapons?
**[15:50] Umio**
Yes!
**[15:51] Fu-girl**
Say "sir"!
**[15:52] Umio**
Sir, yes sir!
**[15:54] SD**
Are you readyXC?
**[15:57] SD**
Set,
**[16:00] ---**
goXC!
**[16:14] Umio**
Fu Girl-san's good.
**[16:15] Fu-girl**
Pretend they're all zombies!
**[16:25] Hio**
Let's do this, then.
**[16:29] Hio**
Wait, Director, what's up with your swimsuit?
**[16:32] Kantoku**
It's easy to move in.
**[16:34] Hio**
It's too bulgy!
**[16:38] Kantoku**
Isn't that the same for girls' breasts, too?
**[16:41] Kantoku**
Two, no less!
**[16:42] Kantoku**
How is it any different?
**[16:44] Hio**
True...
**[16:46] Kantoku**
Breasts and crotches are both symbols of sex.
**[16:49] Kantoku**
What is there to be ashamed of?
**[16:50] Hio**
I'm sorry.
**[16:52] Kantoku**
Look, enemies inbound!
**[17:03] Kantoku**
Keep it up, Hio-tan!
**[17:05] Kantoku**
Hio-tan is easy to manage.
**[17:06] Umio**
Senpai.
**[17:08] Hio**
Umi-chan.
**[17:08] Umio**
Can I have some water balloons?
**[17:15] Umio**
What was that for?
**[17:16] Hio**
I didn't mean to.
**[17:18] Umio**
Senpai!
**[17:21] Hio**
I'm surrounded!
**[17:22] Hio**
Director, Kame-chan, help me!
**[17:25] Kantoku**
I'll pass, I don't want my camera to get wet.
**[17:27] Kame**
Me, neither. I have a perfect shot.
**[17:44] Kantoku**
That's a good face: the face of shame
and of being betrayed by friends!
**[17:48] Kame**
I'm getting some good pictures!
***SIGN*** Hio-tan team drops out

Incapacitate them!

*Is she a demon?*
**[18:07] A**
Yo, that team's good.
**[18:09] B**
We better team up for now.
**[18:17] Fu-girl**
All those weaklings. Our move then...
**[18:19] Fu-girl**
Umio-kun,
**[18:21] ---**
use these guns!
**[18:24] Umio**
Okay.
**[18:31] C**
What the hell?!
**[18:32] Fu-girl**
Blood guns. They make their
targets look zombie-ish.
**[18:35] Umio**
That's freaky!
**[18:38] Umio**
Kill them with me!
**[18:42] Fu-girl**
Goodbye, Roger!
**[18:51] Fu-girl**
Umio-kun, I'll take your bones!
**[18:53] Fu-girl**
On the way home or something.
**[18:57] Fu-girl**
Damn, there's no end to them.
**[18:58] Fu-girl**
All right, Sommelier-kun,
**[19:03] ---**
c-combine!
**[19:14] Fu-girl**
Combine! Sommelier Tank!
**[19:17] D**
Fire!
**[19:36] Fu-girl**
Good, there aren't many teams left.
**[19:38] Fu-girl**
Now we just have to avoid them.
**[19:42] Fu-girl**
Sommelier-kun.
**[19:47] Fu-girl**
What?
**[19:48] Fu-girl**
You idiot, I haven't sent a combine command!
**[19:57] E**
Damn, fire hydrants are the best.
**[20:01] Fu-girl**
They're cowards!
**[20:03] Fu-girl**
Okay, Sommelier, let's surrender.
**[20:05] Fu-girl**
Sommelier!
**[20:07] Fu-girl**
Sommelier!
**[20:14] Fu-girl**
Sommelier.
**[20:17] F**
Strip him all the way!
**[20:26] Fu-girl**
Sensei!
**[20:27] Fu-girl**
Thank you. You were in the game?
**[20:34] Fu-girl**
Sensei, stop!
**[20:40] Sensei**
Good, the prize money is mine now.
**[20:43] SD**
The winner is Sensei's solo team XC!
**[20:49] Kantoku**
So much for having three per team.
**[20:53] Umio**
What the hell.
**[20:56] Umio**
Fu Girl-san, what are you
cosplaying as anyway?
**[21:00] Fu-girl**
I'm not cosplaying.
**[21:02] Fu-girl**
I'm using it at school.
**[21:03] Umio**
Oh, yeah?
**[21:05] Umio**
Wait, how old are you, Fu Girl-san?
**[21:08] Fu-girl**
S-Sixteen.
**[21:17] Umio**
Of course!
**[21:18] Umio**
I knew you were younger than me.
**[21:20] Fu-girl**
People always think I'm in elementary,
but I'm in my first year of high school.
***SIGN*** Oden
**[21:38] Fu-girl**
Good work.
