Everyone!

The Takamagahara Commemorative
[02:44] Uma
Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup
begins this afternoon!
SIGN Takamagahara Commemorative Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup
[02:46] Uma
Be sure you're ready!
[02:48] Shima
Oh, the Manager's Cup?
It's that time already?
[02:52] Uma
Please don't shorten it to "Manager's Cup"!
[02:55] Uma
It's the Takamagahara Commemorative
Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup.
[02:58] Uma
The Takamagahara Commemorative
Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup!
[03:02] Dora
You sound awfully haughty.
[03:04] Uma
Of course I do!
[03:06] Uma
We must make this year's
Takamagahara Commemorative
[03:09] Uma
Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup exciting!
[03:12] Takeru
U-Um...
[03:14] Takeru
Sorry. What is this "Manager's Cup"?
[03:18] Uma
I knew it!
[03:22] Takeru
Huh? Wh-What's wrong?
[03:25] Uma
It's all right, Takeru-san.
[03:27] Uma
This is my own fault.
SIGN Takamagahara Commemorative Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup
[03:30] Uma
The Takamagahara Commemorative
Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup
[03:33] Uma
is a historical ritual in the Eto realm,
[03:35] Uma
and I'm the Eto-shin in charge
of this very important event.
SIGN stick
[03:39] Uma
Yet...
SIGN Takamagahara Commemorative Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup God Viewership Ratings
[03:40] Uma
As you can see, the viewers
among the gods have plummeted.
[03:44] Uma
The previous Takamagahara
Commemorative Maid Café Eto
[03:48] Uma
Manager's Cup only earned a rating of 1.8%.
[03:50] Uma
If it drops below 1%, it will be canceled!
[03:54] Takeru
God viewership rating?
[03:56] Uri
It's what it sounds like:
the number of gods who watch it.
[03:59] Uri
All divine rituals are
overseen by the many gods.
[04:02] Uri
The more important or noteworthy the ritual,
[04:05] Uri
the higher the god ratings.
[04:08] Takeru
Oh...
[04:09] Shar
You are included in the god
viewership rating, as well.
[04:11] Takeru
Huh?
[04:12] Shar
You watch the ETM12 on the
Sol/Lull TV, do you not?
[04:16] Shar
That registers as god viewership.
[04:20] Takeru
Really? I'm not a god, though...
[04:22] Mei
You're a unique situation, Takeru-san.
[04:25] Shima
Yeah. Normally the Sol/Lull TV is
[04:27] Shima
only summoned in front of gods.
[04:29] Shima
So if there's a boring ritual
or dull program on,
[04:32] Shima
the gods turn the Sol/Lull TV off.
[04:35] Uma
The process isn't that simple!
SIGN Takamagahara Commemorative Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup
[04:38] Uma
Now, instead of watching in
real time, many gods record it,
[04:41] Uma
or watch via methods that
[04:43] Uma
aren't reflected in the ratings...
[04:45] Uri
Incidentally, I prefer to record things
and watch them at my leisure.
[04:49] InuKey
Ditto!
[04:50] Uma
And that's why our god
ratings are dropping!
[04:53] Key
Shows just keep piling up before
I can watch them, though.
[04:56] Inu
Yeah, and then I can't be bothered
to watch and just delete them.
[04:59] Usa
Oh, if you buy the Blu-rays,
that won't happen.
[05:02] Key
I'm not buying those.
I don't have the money.
[05:05] Inu
And I don't have anywhere to put them.
[05:06] Usa
People like you are the reason
there's so much insecurity in this industry!
[05:10] Usa
Buy the discs!
[05:11] Usa
Show proper gratitude to
the staff who sweat blood
[05:14] Usa
and wipe their tears with more
tears producing these things!
[05:17] Usa
Don't just watch with a dumb look on
your face! If you watch it, buy it!
[05:20] Usa
Money needs to be put into
circulation in this world!
[05:22] InuKey
U-Uh... Right...
[05:25] Usa
I'm saying—
[05:27] Uma
Save that discussion for next time.
[05:30] Uma
I'm talking about something much
more important right now.
[05:34] Takeru
Wow. She doesn't just freak out,
[05:37] Takeru
but actually takes charge
when she needs to.
[05:40] Uri
Of all the Chinese zodiac,
[05:42] Uri
Uma-tan is among the one
or two most serious.
[05:45] Uri
In other words, she's the type
that's a pain to deal with.
[05:48] Takeru
You didn't have to add that last part...
[05:50] Uma
I'm a pain to deal with?!
[05:52] Uri
See?
[05:53] Takeru
Don't say that!
[05:55] Takeru
It's because you said
something so venomous!
[05:57] Takeru
Er, I wasn't talking about you, Shar-tan.
[06:00] Mei
Ah, that's my Takeru-san!
[06:03] Mei
What a thoughtful follow-up!
You're so wonderful!
[06:05] Takeru
Uh, it's nothing to swoon about...
[06:08] Takeru
Come on, stop crying!
[06:10] Takeru
Jeez, comebacks are a full-time job when
[06:12] Takeru
the entire cast is here for once...
[06:15] Uma
A-Anyway, the average god
rating for this year's
[06:18] Uma
Takamagahara Commemorative
Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup
[06:19] Uma
will determine the fate of the
[06:23] Uma
Takamagahara Commemorative Maid
Café Eto Manager's Cup!
[06:27] Uma
If it does end up being canceled...
[06:29] Uma
As it is, people say the zodiac animals from
"horse" onward have an unpleasant sound...
[06:34] Uma
but I'll be unable to do
my job as an Eto-shin,
SIGN Takamagahara Commemorative Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup
[06:36] Uma
and there'll be no meaning to my existence!
[06:40] Nya
No meaning? You're exaggerating!
[06:43] Nya
If you want god ratings, just strip!
[06:45] Mo
Take it off!
[06:47] Mo
I wanna see Nya-tan fully nude! Come on!
[06:52] Mo
I'll take 'em off for you!
[06:55] Mo
I got a treasure!
[06:57] Nya
Not happening!
[06:58] Mo
Ouch!
[06:59] Mo
But that was pretty nice, too...
[07:02] Nya
Get lost, pervert!
[07:05] Uma
A vulgar idea such as nudity
is out of the question.
[07:09] Uma
We must make this a thrilling race that
[07:11] Uma
will resonate directly
in the god ratings.
[07:14] Uma
I can't say this too loud,
[07:16] Uma
but this is a raging battle
against the gods!
[07:20] Uma
Now, everyone, until the start
of the race, let us discuss—
[07:25] Uma
E-Everyone?
[07:27] Inu
I just can't get fired up about this.
[07:29] Key
It's kinda tiring.
[07:31] Nya
Instead of humiliating yourself fighting
for it, you should just call it off.
[07:34] Piyo
You're not even one of the zodiac,
stupid cat! This isn't your business!
[07:38] Piyo
Stay out of it!
[07:39] Nya
Huh? But even if you bust your butt to win,
[07:42] Nya
there's no prize or anything.
[07:44] Uma
Of course there isn't.
[07:46] Uma
There's meaning in seeing the
race through to the end!
[07:50] Nya
What a boring race!
[07:52] Uma
It's not an issue of whether
it's boring or not!
[07:56] Manager
Enough insolent talk!
[08:02] Uma
Manager!
[08:04] Manager
However, the cat does have a point.
[08:06] Manager
If they are unmotivated,
we just need to motivate them!
[08:10] Manager
For this year's Takamagahara Commemorative
[08:12] Manager
Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup,
[08:16] Manager
I will...

[08:22] Manager
the winner's wish!
[08:25] Key
For real?!
[08:25] Inu
What brought that reward on?!
[08:27] Takeru
Grant their wish? You're
talking like you're a god...
[08:31] Manager
If you doubt me, I will show you
[08:34] Manager
my true form!
[08:46] Manager
I am the manager.
[08:49] Takeru
Wh-What is this?
[08:51] Nya
Meow! That's the coffee cup
I broke and then hid!
[08:57] Nya
It's fixed!
[08:59] Manager
May there be light for all.
[09:03] Nya
Meow, meow! That's the dying
bird I've been caring for!
[09:07] Manager
Live alongside me, little one.
[09:13] Nya
It's fixed!
[09:15] Nya
Meow! That's yesterday's leftover
meat and potato stew!
[09:18] Manager
Become delicious.
[09:23] Shar
It's been remade into curry.
[09:26] All
Super tasty!
[09:31] Shar
Impressive as always, Manager.
[09:33] Takeru
She's right. You really are
amazing, Mr. Manager.
[09:36] Manager
Well, I did create Japan, after all.
[09:39] Nya
Anyway, now I know you
can perform any miracle,
[09:43] Nya
from bringing back the dead to
reusing meat and potato stew!
[09:45] Key
That means...

the toughest part of the course.
[14:08] Mei
Takeru-san, no... You can't do that...
[14:09] Uri
I can't believe she took it from
the outside without stopping her

secondary turbine by caramelizing
it with a split twist lift!

SIGN Takamagahara Commemorative Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup
[20:05] Uma
Thank you.
[20:07] Uma
Because of you, I realized something.
[20:11] Uma
A divine ritual should be carried
out for the gods and the people,
[20:14] Uma
with all of your heart,
and with the greatest joy.
[20:18] Uma
I was so fixated on god viewership ratings
[20:20] Uma
that I forgot the true
meaning of the ritual...
[20:24] Uma
There was no way such a ritual
could be successful.
[20:28] Uma
I'm so ashamed.
[20:30] Nya
I don't think you need to be so sad.
[20:33] Nya
You did your best.
[20:35] Nya
I probably couldn't have
worked so hard on my own.
[20:39] Nya
You were amazing, Uma-tan!
[20:41] Nya
I was totally frantic!
[20:43] Nya
So, um, I mean...
[20:45] Nya
You don't have to worry!
[20:47] Nya
And anyway, it was fun!
[20:49] Nya
Thanks, Uma-tan!
[20:57] Takeru
Nya-tan...
[20:58] Nya
What is it?
[20:59] Takeru
Uh... Your clothes..
[21:01] Nya
My clothes?
[21:02] Uri
She used up so much Sol/Lull,
[21:04] Uri
she can't even keep clothes on.
[21:06] Mo
Oh, yes!
[21:08] Mo
Come on, baby!
[21:10] Nya
Whoa, wait!
[21:11] Nya
Stop! Don't touch me there!
[21:12] Mo
Oh, it's ecstasy!
[21:15] Mo
You're so soft...
[21:20] Uma
I'll reflect on my actions.
[21:22] Uma
To ensure that the Takamagahara Commemorative
[21:25] Uma
Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup
can be held again someday,
[21:29] Uma
I'll put forth my best effort.
[21:33] Takeru
Uma-tan, look at the Sol/Lull TV.

[21:38] Uma
What?!
[21:41] Shima
The dramatic climax, from the
destruction of the course
[21:43] Shima
to the guts Nya-tan showed
crossing the finish line,
[21:45] Shima
sent the god viewership
ratings through the roof.
[21:55] Uri
The Manager's Cup was a huge success.
[21:58] Takeru
So why don't we have an after-party?
