**[01:32] Gin**
"I only received one New Year's card this year. From a beauty salon..."
**[01:36] Gin**
"I didn't receive a single one."
**[01:39] Gin**
If anyone out there says any of that crap in the classroom after winter break,
**[01:43] Gin**
starting next year, execute 'em!
**[01:46] Gin**
That joke is as old as New Year's cards and beauty salons.
**[01:50] Gin**
It's too much effort to pretend to brag about that shit.
**[01:54] Gin**
I'm sick of it!
**[01:56] Gin**
The practice of appearance for appearance's sake!
**[01:57] Gin**
Enough of this farce!
**[01:59] Gin**
Starting next year, execute every single person who sends a New Year's card!
**[02:02] Gin**
Is that your final answer?
**[02:04] Shin**
Yeah, yeah.
**[02:05] Shin**
Execute away next year.
**[02:07] Shin**
All by yourself.
**[02:09] Kagura**
Stop babbling like a kiddie.
**[02:11] Kagura**
Pen to the paper, pillar of society.

**[02:18] Gin**
Only received a card from a beauty salon?! Lame-o!
**[02:21] Gin**
Idiots!
**[02:22] Gin**
Why do people get so excited?!
**[02:24] Gin**
Happy, my ass!
**[02:25] Gin**
There's nothing to be happy about!
**[02:27] Gin**
This show follows the Sazae-san format.
We're stuck in the same year forever!
**[02:31] Gin**
It's a waste of time!
**[02:32] Gin**
And why are we doing New Year's cards now?
**[02:34] Shin**
We don't have a choice.
**[02:36] Shin**
The manga kept on rolling with seasonal material while we were on break.
**[02:39] Kagura**
A year's worth of joy, all at once.
**[02:41] Shin**
Look.
**[02:41] Shin**
We got a bunch of cards from our clients.
**[02:44] Shin**
If we maintain a friendly relationship with our clients,
**[02:46] Shin**
they might give us more work.
***SIGN*** One hour later...
**[02:51] Gin**
There's no end in sight...
**[02:53] Gin**
By the time I finish writing all these hope-you-have-a-great-years,
**[02:55] Gin**
it'll already be next year.
**[02:57] Gin**
And why do you guys look like you're enjoying this?
**[02:59] Shin**
Huh?
**[03:00] Shin**
This isn't that bad.
**[03:02] Shin**
We get to catch up on what's happened.
**[03:04] Gin**
You mean when they talk about starting a new life together
**[03:06] Gin**
with a wedding picture attached?
***SIGN*** Happy New Year
***SIGN*** We are blessed to celebrate our first New Year's together.
***SIGN*** I hope that I will be able to serve as your editor for a very long time.
***SIGN*** New Year's Day 2010
***SIGN*** Atsushi and Chihiro Nakasaki
**[03:09] Gin**
You shouldn't assume that other people will be happy about your happiness, fool.
**[03:13] Shin**
Uh....
**[03:14] Shin**
Wait, who is this?
**[03:16] Gin**
And some people are like,
***SIGN*** Happy New Year
***SIGN*** I appreciate everything
***SIGN*** Kouhei Oonishi
**[03:17] Gin**
"We have a new member in the family!" with a picture of a baby.
**[03:21] Gin**
Don't make it sound like this just magically happened.
**[03:23] Gin**
Just write that you had a baby after ****ing like rabbits.
**[03:25] Shin**
Nobody's going to say that on a New Year's card!
**[03:27] Shin**
And who is this?
**[03:28] Shin**
Who are these people?!
**[03:29] Gin**
Also...
**[03:30] Gin**
Don't bother if you're feeling lazy.
**[03:32] Gin**
You'll end up hurting someone's feelings.
***SIGN*** Weekly Shounen Jump wants to thank you.
***SIGN*** Yuu Saitou
***SIGN*** Manuscripts are more important than your health!! -Saitou
**[03:34] Shin**
This wasn't sent to you, was it?
**[03:36] Shin**
And those editors are seriously brutal!
**[03:39] Shin**
But I like how New Year's cards are short and concise, unlike letters.
**[03:45] Shin**
Oh, look.
**[03:46] Shin**
There's one from Sakamoto-san.
**[03:48] Gin**
From Tatsuma?
**[03:49] Sakamoto**
Last year's Taiga drama was about me.
**[03:52] Gin**
What kind of message is that?!
**[03:54] Gin**
He wants to fully exploit his brief surge in popularity!
**[03:56] Gin**
You're getting another year of spot appearances in the openings and endings!
**[03:59] Shin**
There's also one from Mutsu-san.
**[04:01] Mutsu**
Don't bother tearing this up.
**[04:03] Kagura**
I also received cards from the Kaientai.
**[04:06] Gin**
Why did they send cards to each of us?!
**[04:08] Gin**
That's so obnoxious!
**[04:10] Gin**
They're really dying for some screen time!
**[04:11] Shin**
Wait...
**[04:12] Shin**
There's a card from the Kiheitai!
**[04:14] Gin**
Huh?!
**[04:14] Gin**
From Takasugi?!
**[04:15] Takasugi**
Happy New Year.
**[04:18] Takasugi**
I'll be destroying everything again this year.
**[04:20] Gin**
No way...
**[04:21] Gin**
He sent a New Year's card?
**[04:23] Gin**
Isn't this more like a declaration of war?
**[04:24] Kagura**
It might be a death threat.
***SIGN*** Matako Kijima, Bansai Kawakami, Henpeita Takechi
**[04:27] All**
The Kiheitai made an appearance in this year's Taiga drama.
**[04:29] Gin**
You too?!
**[04:31] Gin**
Does everybody want more screen time?!
**[04:34] Shin**
Oh, there's one from Katsura-san.
**[04:37] Gin**
What?
**[04:38] Gin**
Zura gets plenty of screen time.
**[04:40] Katsura**
I was on standby outside the entire time during the Santa episode.
**[04:44] Gin**
Like I give a damn!
**[04:46] Kagura**
He never had a chance to jump in since
there were so many characters around.
**[04:51] Shin**
He sent a whole bunch.
**[04:52] Katsura**
Has Lady Kyubei taken over the role of token hardhead?
**[04:53] Katsura**
I was on standby outside the entire time during the Santa episode.
**[04:55] Katsura**
You no longer need me with Lady Kyubei around?
**[04:56] Katsura**
I was on standby outside the entire time during the Santa episode.
**[04:57] Gin**
We already said that your characters don't overlap!
**[04:57] Katsura**
I was a character in this show before Lady Kyubei was.
**[04:58] Gin**
You're just a psychotic moron!
**[05:01] Gin**
Man, these people aren't taking this seriously.
**[05:03] Gin**
They make the silly Nakasaki couple look brilliant.
**[05:07] Shin**
Gin-san, someone else got married.
***SIGN*** Gintoki and Ayame Sakata
**[05:11] Sa**
We got married!
**[05:13] Sa**
Guess I'm first, Otae.
**[05:15] Gin**
The hell is this?!
**[05:17] Shin**
It's no use, Gin-san.
**[05:17] Shin**
She sent a whole stack.
**[05:19] Gin**
That bitch has really done it now!
**[05:22] Gin**
Look at the shoddy picture!
**[05:23] Gin**
That's somebody else's body below my face!
**[05:25] Kagura**
Someone sent a card to congratulate you.
**[05:28] Ketsuno**
Congratulations!
**[05:30] Ketsuno**
Make sure you don't end up getting divorced.
**[05:32] Gin**
Ana Ketsuno!
**[05:33] Gin**
What has she done?!
**[05:35] Kagura**
Looks like she sent them everywhere.
***SIGN*** Hinowa
**[05:38] Hinowa**
Happy New Year.
**[05:39] Hinowa**
And congratulations on your marriage.
**[05:41] Hinowa**
This news will make Tsukuyo sad.
**[05:41] Tsukuyo**
May you be happy together!
***SIGN*** Seita
**[05:43] Seita**
Ever since Tsukuyo heard that Gin-san got married, she's been feeling down.
**[05:46] Tsukuyo**
May you be happy together!
***SIGN*** Tsukyo
**[05:48] Tsukuyo**
I appreciate your help last year.
**[05:49] Tsukuyo**
Don't make your wife cry.
**[05:51] Tsukuyo**
May you be happy together.
**[05:53] Shin**
This is getting awkward...
**[05:55] Shin**
It's obvious that Tsukuyo-san edited their cards.
**[05:58] Kagura**
You also received one from the monkeys.
***SIGN*** Doesn't he look just like Shinpachi-kun?
**[06:01] Kondo**
Congratulations!
**[06:02] Kondo**
I hope that our kids get to go to school together.
**[06:04] Shin**
How many steps did that stupid gorilla skip?!
**[06:07] Shin**
Just like me?!
**[06:08] Shin**
It is me!
**[06:10] Gin**
Whoa.
**[06:11] Gin**
He also sent his everywhere.
***SIGN*** Strawberry milk
**[06:14] Otsu**
Thank you for all the supportapoop!
**[06:16] Otsu**
I hope that you and the gorilla are happy together.
**[06:17] Shin**
Otsu-chan!
**[06:18] shin**
She's got this totally wrong!
**[06:20] Gin**
Look.
**[06:21] Gin**
There's one from the Yagyu household.
**[06:22] Kyubei**
I'm going to murder the gorilla.
**[06:23] Kyubei**
I'm going to murder the gorilla!
**[06:25] Kyubei**
I'm going to murder Kondo!
**[06:26] Shin**
Wait!
**[06:26] Shin**
Kyubei-san's cards are the ones that need editing!
**[06:29] Shin**
Her murderous rage is plain to see!
**[06:30] Kagura**
Gin-chan, here's another one from Zura.
**[06:33] Gin**
Why?!
**[06:33] Gin**
Don't tell me that he's also lying about getting married...
**[06:37] Katsura**
I was on standby outside the entire time during the ceremony.
**[06:40] Gin**
The hell is he doing?!
**[06:42] Gin**
Is he obsessed with being on standby?!
**[06:43] Gin**
There was no ceremony!
**[06:45] Gin**
And even if there was, it would have been too late!
**[06:47] Gin**
Hey, let's deal with these pains in the ass later.
**[06:50] Gin**
Start by replying to the normal people.
**[06:53] Shin**
Do we know any normal people...?
**[06:55] Shin**
No way!
**[06:56] Shin**
This one's from Hijikata-san?
**[06:57] Gin**
Whoa.
**[06:58] Gin**
What's this about?
**[07:00] Hijikata**
I haven't seen Kondo-san in a week.
**[07:03] Hijikata**
Do you know anything?
**[07:05] Shin**
W-We don't know anything, right?
**[07:07] Gin**
We know nothing at all.
**[07:08] Gin**
No clue at all.
**[07:10] Shin**
L-Let's move on.
**[07:12] Shin**
Ah!
**[07:13] Shin**
This is from Zenzo-san.
**[07:15] Zenzo**
I need to talk with Sarutobi about a job,
**[07:17] Zenzo**
but I haven't been able to reach her for a week.
**[07:19] Zenzo**
Have you seen her around?
**[07:24] Shin**
The people who sent out fake wedding notices are disappearing one after another...
**[07:29] Gin**
It's not related.
**[07:31] Gin**
I mean, look at this.
***SIGN*** Hatsu Hasegawa
**[07:32] Hatsu**
I can't reach my husband.
**[07:34] Hatsu**
I found some of my husband's belongings by the river.
**[07:37] Hatsu**
Do you know anything?
**[07:39] Gin**
Yeah?
**[07:39] Gin**
Hasegawa-san's missing and he wasn't involved in that crap.
**[07:42] Gin**
It's okay.
**[07:43] Shin**
It's not okay!
**[07:44] Shin**
He's missing for a completely different reason!
**[07:47] Shin**
I have a really bad feeling about this.
**[07:49] Shin**
Hasegawa-san aside,
**[07:51] Shin**
the other two must have gotten into some kind New-Year-card-related trouble.
**[07:52] Gin**
It's not related.
**[07:53] Kagura**
Oh, there's one from the boss lady.
**[07:55] Otae**
I am unable to wish you a happy new year in this time of mourning.
**[07:59] Otae**
In December, our pet gorilla and bitch passed away.
**[08:03] Otae**
This year will be...
**[08:04] Gin**
You had pets?
**[08:06] Shin**
We did.
**[08:07] Kagura**
I've never seen them before.
**[08:09] Gin**
There was that "I'm first, Otae" message.
**[08:12] Gin**
That must have pissed her off.
**[08:14] Shin**
P-Please don't tell anyone.
**[08:16] Gin**
Well, it's not exactly a secret.
**[08:18] Okita**
I haven't seen Kondo-san in a week.
**[08:21] Okita**
Do you know anything about someone's older sister killing him?
**[08:25] Shin**
How many older sisters are there in this show?!
**[08:27] Gin**
And look, there's one from Yamazaki.
**[08:29] Shin**
What?!
**[08:29] Shin**
Yamazaki-san?!
**[08:30] Yamazaki**
Anpan! Anpan! Anpan!
**[08:31] Shin**
What the hell happened to Yamazaki-san?!
**[08:34] Kagura**
Gin-chan, there's a really weird New Year's card.
**[08:37] Kagura**
From Gondo.
**[08:39] Gin**
Where the hell is Gondo?
**[08:41] Gin**
Do we know anyone there?
**[08:43] Kagura**
It's from someone called Mamyudapao.
**[08:45] Gin**
I'm 100% positive that we don't know this person!
**[08:47] Gin**
I'm 100% positive that this is a complete stranger!
**[08:49] Kagura**
Let me read it.
**[08:51] Madao**
My name is Mamudapao Hasegawa.
**[08:54] Gin**
It's just Hasegawa-san!
**[08:55] Gin**
How far did the river carry him?!
**[08:58] Madao**
When I came to this place,
**[08:59] Madao**
I could only remember the words Hasegawa and oldsocks.
**[09:04] Gin**
You've got it wrong!
**[09:06] Gin**
It's orthodox!
**[09:08] Madao**
Mamudapao was the name given to me by the Hingromaxon chief who found me.
**[09:14] Madao**
It means floating log,
**[09:16] Madao**
drifter,
**[09:17] Madao**
freeter,
**[09:18] Madao**
Nintendo,
**[09:19] Madao**
and sinking old man.
**[09:20] Gin**
There are too many meanings!
**[09:22] Gin**
The last one contradicts the first one!
**[09:25] Madao**
Mamudapao.
**[09:26] Madao**
Everyone calls me Madao for short.
**[09:28] Gin**
So they still call you Madao in the end!
**[09:31] Madao**
The people of the Hingromaxon tribe are very kind.
**[09:35] Madao**
They were willing to share their fruit with a complete stranger.
**[09:39] Gin**
They clearly hate you!
**[09:41] Madao**
I had no memories, but I was...
**[09:45] Madao**
...satisfied with my life here.
**[09:46] Gin**
This man is the definition of a masochist!
**[09:49] Madao**
I had a mission before I lost my memories.
**[09:53] Madao**
But I can't remember what it was.
**[09:55] Madao**
When I washed ashore, I was holding a piece of paper with some strange characters.
**[10:00] Madao**
Will they help unlock my memories?
**[10:03] Madao**
I showed the piece of paper to the chief,
**[10:05] Madao**
and he said that he'd seen something similar before.
**[10:07] Madao**
The Hingromaxon were engaged in a turf war with two other tribes.
**[10:13] Madao**
He'd seen the other chiefs with similar pieces of paper.
**[10:18] Chief**
They are also Madao, Mamudapao who
came ashore from a different world like you.
**[10:24] Chief**
They used their fearsome strength to rise to power
**[10:28] Chief**
and began to invade our sacred forest.
**[10:31] Chief**
They are monsters.
**[10:33] Chief**
Our tribe stands no chance against them.
**[10:36] Chief**
But Madao,
**[10:37] Chief**
since you also came from a different world...
**[10:41] Madao**
I may die.
**[10:43] Madao**
But if I choose to live without fulfilling my duty,
**[10:49] Madao**
I might as well be dead!
**[10:52] Sa**
Move it!
**[10:53] Sa**
Outta the way!
**[10:54] Kondo**
Don't interfere with our crusade!
**[10:57] Madao**
Stop this pointless war.
**[10:59] Madao**
We are all children of this planet.
**[11:01] Madao**
One big family.
**[11:03] Sa**
Don't lump me in with you wretches!
**[11:05] Kondo**
Our tribe is meant to rule the sacred forest!
**[11:09] Madao**
No.
**[11:10] Madao**
I'm sure that we share the same purpose.
**[11:13] Kondo**
That's...
**[11:15] Kondo**
I've always wondered who I was...
**[11:17] Sa**
Wondered what I was meant to do...
**[11:19] Kondo**
For a very long time...
**[11:21] Sa**
Ever since I was wrapped up in a mat and washed away...
**[11:25] All**
I always thought I was alone...
**[11:28] Madao**
The next thing I knew, the three of us were holding each other in tears.
**[11:33] Madao**
And without a word, we each took out our pieces of paper.
**[11:37] Madao**
They were completely different and couldn't be pieced together,
**[11:41] Madao**
but our fragmented memories were united.
**[11:44] A**
Chief, what about the crusade?
**[11:46] Kondo**
I don't have time for that nonsense.
**[11:49] B**
What are you going to do then?
**[11:51] Sa**
That should be obvious.
**[11:54] Madao**
Let's write a New Year's card together.
**[11:57] All**
Happy New Year!
**[11:59] All**
We have new members in the family!
**[12:06] Shin**
Gin-san, there's also this...
**[12:10] Katsura**
I was on standby on a raft to Gondo,
***SIGN*** Kotaro Katsura
**[12:13] Katsura**
but I ended up in Rhone.
**[12:17] Kagura**
Gin-chan, how should we respond?
***SIGN*** The Gintama anime wasn't able to ride the Ryomaden wave.
**[12:20] Gin**
Make copies of this to send to everyone.
**[12:26] Gin**
"I only received one chocolate this year. From my mom..."
**[12:30] Gin**
"I win. I got two. Including my sister..."
**[12:35] Gin**
If anyone out there starts gloating the day after Valentine's,
**[12:39] Gin**
starting next year, execute 'em.
**[12:41] Gin**
That joke is as old as chocolate and moms.
**[12:47] Gin**
Cut the crap.
**[12:48] Gin**
Don't put on airs by joking around to show that you don't care!
**[12:51] Gin**
I'm sick of it!
**[12:52] Gin**
The practice of passing chocolate around like idiots!
**[12:58] Gin**
Enough of this farce!
**[12:59] Gin**
Starting next year,
**[13:01] Gin**
execute every single person who gives or receives chocolate!
**[13:03] Gin**
Is that your final answer?
**[13:05] Shin**
That's my final answer!
**[13:09] Gin**
Final answer, my ass!
**[13:11] Gin**
Somebody bring me some chocolate!
**[13:13] Gin**
This makes no sense at all!
**[13:14] Gin**
Everything was the same as the first half!
**[13:17] Gin**
There was a stack of New Year's cards after the scene change!
**[13:19] Gin**
So why isn't there any chocolate here?!
**[13:21] Gin**
I want chocolate!
**[13:22] Gin**
No need for love!
**[13:24] Gin**
Just give me sugar!
**[13:27] Shin**
I want love and that's my final answer!
**[13:30] Shin**
Wait, can I ask the audience?
**[13:32] Gin**
You can spend the rest of your life on the phone with Regis.
**[13:38] Otae**
Sorry about making you come with me.
**[13:41] Kagura**
I've heard that Valentine's is when girls give chocolate to the people they like.
**[13:44] Kagura**
Does that mean you like a whole bunch of people?
**[13:47] Otae**
These are just for passing out to our customers.
**[13:50] Otae**
As for the people I like...
**[13:51] Otae**
Here.
**[13:53] Kagura**
Boss lady!
**[13:54] Kagura**
I love you lots!
**[13:57] Kagura**
But I don't have any chocolate for you.
**[13:59] Otae**
It's okay.
**[14:00] Otae**
You should find a nice man to give your chocolate to.
**[14:03] Kagura**
But there's nobody.
**[14:05] Otae**
You could give chocolate to Gin-san and Shin-chan this time.
**[14:08] Kagura**
What? Forget it.
**[14:09] Kagura**
I don't really like those morons.
**[14:12] Kagura**
They'll probably gripe about not wanting any chocolate from a little brat.
**[14:15] Otae**
That's not true.
**[14:17] Otae**
I'm sure they'll be surprised, even thrilled, if you give them chocolate.
**[14:22] Kagura**
They don't need me when people like Sa-chan will give them some.
**[14:26] Kagura**
Thanks for the chocolate.
**[14:27] Otae**
Ah, Kagura-chan.
**[14:45] Gin**
Hey, why are you so fidgety, Kagura?
**[14:49] Kagura**
I-I'm not!
**[14:51] Gin**
Don't tell me that...
**[14:56] Gin**
...you need to poop?
**[14:58] Gin**
Move it then.
**[14:59] Gin**
Constipation is bad for beauty.

Is this what I think it is?!
**[15:11] Kagura**
Chocolate.
**[15:11] Seita**
R-Really?!
**[15:13] Seita**
Mom!
**[15:14] Seita**
She gave me chocolate!
**[15:17] Hinowa**
Thank you for being so thoughtful.
**[15:19] Kagura**
It's nothing.
**[15:21] Seita**
This doesn't have boogers or anything inside, right?
**[15:23] Seita**
It's safe to eat?
**[15:24] Kagura**
It's obviously safe. Want me to kill you?
**[15:26] Hinowa**
You're much more chic than I thought.
**[15:30] Hinowa**
You have the potential to become a courtesan.
**[15:32] Kagura**
Really?
**[15:33] Kagura**
Then I should quit working at that dump and move here.
**[15:37] Seita**
Hey, can I eat this?
**[15:39] Seita**
I see sesame seeds for some reason.
**[15:41] Tsukuyo**
Don't touch those.
**[15:43] Tsukuyo**
Boogers can make you sick.
**[15:46] Kagura**
Enough already!
**[15:47] Kagura**
Do you people think I'm some kind of monster?!
**[15:50] Tsukuyo**
Hinowa, I'm heading out for a bit.
**[15:52] Kagura**
Hey, wait!
**[15:54] Kagura**
Give that back!
**[15:55] Tsukuyo**
Excuse me.
**[15:57] Tsukuyo**
I'd like to buy that big chocolate heart.
**[15:59] Man**
Sure thing.
**[16:00] Kagura**
Hey, what are you doing, Tsu-ki?
**[16:03] Tsukuyo**
Hinowa actually told me to give you guys chocolate from Yoshiwara.
**[16:09] Tsukuyo**
Can you take care of that for me?
**[16:11] Tsukuyo**
It'll be easier for you to hand yours over with mine.
**[16:15] Kagura**
Tsu-ki!
**[16:16] Kagura**
You're so sharp!
**[16:18] Kagura**
Completely different from that clueless numbskull with wavy hair!
**[16:20] Kagura**
But, I'd really appreciate it if you would come with me.
**[16:24] Tsukuyo**
I-I can't help you there.
**[16:25] Kagura**
Why? You also think it's embarrassing?
**[16:27] Tsukuyo**
Wh-Why would I be embarrassed?!
**[16:30] Tsukuyo**
I don't give a damn about Valentine's.
**[16:33] Tsukuyo**
I only bought this chocolate because I was ordered to, not because I wanted to...
**[16:36] Kagura**
You look embarrassed.
**[16:37] Man**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[16:38] Kagura**
Well, I understand.
**[16:40] Kagura**
I'll let them know how you feel.

Well, she kept calling you Tsu-ki,

so I decided to add a little something special.
**[16:48] Tsukuyo**
You're not helping!
**[16:50] Tsukuyo**
Say that it's from everyone in Yoshiwara!

I apologize.

I'll get that fixed real quick,

Why are you calling me Tsu-ki?!
**[16:57] Tsukuyo**
Hey, I'm starting to get worried,
**[17:00] Tsukuyo**
so mind if I tag along?
**[17:02] Kagura**
Yay!
**[17:03] Woman**
Um, would you like to try some while you're waiting?
**[17:07] Tsukuyo**
Man, everybody loves to make assumptions.
**[17:11] Kagura**
That looks good.
**[17:13] Kagura**
Can I try one?
**[17:14] Woman**
Sorry.
**[17:16] Woman**
These are whiskey bonbons,
**[17:17] Woman**
and you're still too young.

We're not interested in a newspaper subscription.
**[17:25] Tsukuyo**
Excuse me, is Gintoki-kun here?
**[17:28] Tsukuyo**
Gosh, I went and opened my mouth!
**[17:30] Tsukuyo**
Oh, dear.
**[17:31] Tsukuyo**
My heart is pounding...
**[17:33] Tsukuyo**
This is too much for me.
**[17:34] Tsukuyo**
It's too embarrassing...
**[17:37] Tsukuyo**
In your dreams, sucker!
**[17:43] Sa**
You want us to hand over our chocolate together?
**[17:46] Kagura**
Yeah, I've tried a couple times and failed.
**[17:49] Sa**
Don't be a fool?
**[17:50] Sa**
Why would we confess our feelings as a group?
**[17:52] Sa**
Are we still in middle school?
**[17:53] Kagura**
We're just going to give them chocolate.
**[17:55] Kagura**
But I'm having trouble because it's so embarrassing.
**[17:58] Kagura**
I need help from an insensitive woman like you.
**[18:01] Sa**
I've never been so insulted while being asked for a favor.
**[18:04] Sa**
Besides!
**[18:06] Sa**
Tsu-ki, how could you let this happen?
**[18:08] Sa**
Is that the power of 10th place?
**[18:09] Sa**
Is that what it takes to place 10th?
**[18:11] Tsukuyo**
You're still upset about that?
**[18:13] Sa**
I would never choose to help a rival,
**[18:15] Sa**
but you girls are so pathetic that there's no threat at all.
**[18:20] Sa**
First, strip naked and coat yourself in this chocolate.
**[18:24] Sa**
That's where it all begins.
**[18:26] Tsukuyo**
That's where it all begins?
**[18:27] Tsukuyo**
More like that's where it all ends.
**[18:29] Sa**
Lose the innocent girl act!
**[18:30] Sa**
Don't you realize that I'm telling you to stop feeling ashamed?!
**[18:33] Tsukuyo**
I'm willing to stop feeling ashamed,
**[18:33] Tsukuyo**
but I won't stop behaving like a proper human being.
**[18:36] Sa**
What?!
**[18:37] Sa**
Don't you know that Cleopatra got naked
**[18:39] Sa**
and lotioned herself up inside a rolled-up rug for the sake of seducing the king?!
**[18:43] Tsukuyo**
We aren't trying to seduce anyone!
**[18:45] Tsukuyo**
We just want to give them chocolate!
**[18:49] Sa**
Fine.
**[18:50] Sa**
We'll do this the normal way.
**[18:52] Sa**
Honestly, you're so dull.
**[18:55] Sa**
Then I'll press the doorbell...
**[18:59] Sa**
Um...
**[19:00] Sa**
Why are you lined up behind me?
**[19:03] Sa**
How shy are you?!
**[19:04] Sa**
Can you stop that?!
**[19:06] Sa**
You're making me nervous!
**[19:08] Sa**
I'm going to press the doorbell now.
**[19:09] Sa**
Are you ready?
**[19:15] Kagura**
Sa-chan!
**[19:17] Tsukuyo**
Hey! What was that?!
**[19:18] Sa**
Actually...
**[19:20] Sa**
Now that I think about it...
**[19:21] Sa**
I've never tried doing it the normal way,
**[19:24] Sa**
so I don't know what to say.
**[19:26] Tsukuyo**
Didn't you just lecture me about Cleopatra?!
**[19:29] Sa**
Sorry! I can't do it!
**[19:30] Sa**
You go, Tsu-ki!
**[19:31] Sa**
I feel so embarrassed!
**[19:32] Tsukuyo**
It's too late for that now!
**[19:33] Tsukuyo**
Kagura, you go.
**[19:35] Tsukuyo**
Isn't this your home?
**[19:35] Kagura**
Hey!
**[19:36] Kagura**
Why do you think I brought you with me?!
**[19:39] Shin**
Where did Kagura-chan go?
**[19:43] Gin**
She ran off somewhere to take a dump.
**[19:47] Gin**
Huh?
**[19:48] Gin**
Wasn't there someone here?
**[19:49] Shin**
No, nobody's here.
**[19:54] Shin**
Was this can here earlier?
**[19:56] Shin**
Whatever.
**[20:07] Tsukuyo**
Um, I'd appreciate it if you left this in front of Odd Jobs when you get a chance.
**[20:13] Tsukuyo**
Sorry that I wasn't any help.
**[20:16] Sa**
I appreciate it!

I have some extra chocolate for them.

But if you aren't going to give them yours, I won't either.
**[20:58] Kagura**
It's okay.
**[20:59] Kagura**
I'll give them yours with the other ones.
**[21:02] Otae**
But what about you?

It's okay.
