[00:03] ---
    When watching TV,
[00:05] ---
    please keep the room bright...
[00:06] ---
    ...and sit well away from the TV.
[00:08] ---
    That's right.
[00:15] ---
    If you have a match-making meeting,
    do you always get married?
[00:17] ---
    Huh? What's this about all of a sudden?
[00:21] ---
    Well, uh... actually...
[00:25] ---
    Saki went out drinking
    with her friends two nights ago
[00:28] ---
    and she was out late, so she stayed
    the night at her parents' house.
[00:32] ---
    Then, she came back yesterday morning and...
SIGN    Video Rental V Tachibana
[00:40] ---
    Oh, back already?
[00:43] ---
    You don't go home much,
    so you could've spent more time there.
[00:48] ---
    No, I did not wish to cause you any worry,
[00:51] ---
    so I came back as quickly as I could.
[00:53] ---
    Like I said, I wasn't worried or anything.
[00:57] ---
    I-Incidentally, there were men
    at our get-together last night, too.
[01:00] ---
    I don't care about that stuff.
[01:03] ---
    Also, my mother suggested I go
    to a match-making meeting.
[01:07] ---
    Hah! That's great!
[01:14] ---
    Oh, Mother? Please set up
    that meeting as soon as you can!
[01:18] ---
    Yes, full speed ahead.
[01:19] ---
    What? Oh, wait, Saki?!
[01:21] ---
    All right, I understand.
[01:23] ---
    So, tomorrow on Sunday,
    I will be going to a match-making meeting.
[01:27] ---
    Therefore, I will be taking some time off.
    I assume that will be fine?!
[01:29] ---
    What?!
[01:38] ---
    So, she's been out since this morning.
[01:41] ---
    That's unexpected to hear,
[01:43] ---
    but she's going to the meeting
    because she wants to get married, right?
[01:47] ---
    The look on your face shows
    an awfully self-centered disgruntlement.
[01:50] ---
    Wha?!
[01:51] ---
    No helping it then.
    I guess I'll help you out.
[01:53] ---
    What?
[01:54] ---
    Well, well, a match-makin' meetin', huh?
[01:57] ---
    It'll be chock full
    of opportunities to make jabs.
[01:59] ---
    I've never witnessed a match-making meeting.
[02:02] ---
    Then why don't you all go
    watch the match-making meeting?
[02:05] ---
    Wha?!
[02:05] ---
    Yes! That's a good idea!
[02:08] ---
    Wha?!
[02:09] ---
    Whosoever commands the butlers,
    commands the world!
[02:12] ---
    The Great Butler War that will
    shake up the world has just begun!
[02:17] ---
    Who gives a damn?!
    Now's not the time for that!
[02:19] ---
    Saki just might end up leaving, you know!

    Match-Making Meeting
[04:04] ---
    Everyone should be there about now.
[04:08] ---
    A match-making meeting
    in this day and age!
[04:09] ---
    It could be nice with a certain charm to it.
[04:13] ---
    Then, we shall leave it
    to the young couple from here on out.
[04:16] ---
    Sounds good!
[04:20] ---
    No!
[04:21] ---
    Please have mercy, my lord magistrate!
[04:24] ---
    Oh, no!
[04:25] ---
    Come, come, it will be fine!
[04:25] ---
    Someone, please save me!
[04:29] ---
    Oh, my! What am I thinking?!
[04:31] ---
    More like, that's not
    a match-making meeting.
[04:34] ---
    Damn. A match-making meeting?
    What the hell is that?
[04:41] ---
    This is one of the most
    distinguished restaurants in the city.
[04:44] ---
    I'll have you know,
    we are not reusing Isumi's house.
[04:48] ---
    Darn it! To think Saki's
    having a match-making meeting
[04:50] ---
    with some strange guy somewhere in there...!
[04:53] ---
    I got it!
[04:54] ---
    It seems Saki is participating
    in their standard Young Couple Time.
[04:58] ---
    What the heck is that?
[04:59] ---
    In other words, they take
    a stroll around the garden alone
[05:02] ---
    and jabber on about
    their hobbies and things.
[05:04] ---
    Like doin' a married couple comedy routine.
[05:07] ---
    J-Just the two of them?!
[05:09] ---
    But the garden here is so vast,
    it's called the Forest of the Lost.
[05:13] ---
    And it seems women who have
    participated in match-making parties
[05:15] ---
    have gone missing here.
[05:17] ---
    What?!
[05:18] ---
    Saki and her guy may have
    become skeletons by now, too.
[05:21] ---
    We're finding them at all costs!
[05:23] ---
    No matter what, they won't turn
    into skeletons so quickly.
[05:26] ---
    No, no, this degree of tension
    just makes it more interesting.
[05:51] ---
    It's so nice and fatty!
[05:56] ---
    N-Nice to meet you!
[05:58] ---
    I am Kyonosuke Kaoru
    and I teach at Hakuou Academy!
[06:02] ---
    I am Saki Kijima.
[06:04] ---
    Allow me to explain.
[06:05] ---
    Kyonosuke Kaoru has appeared
    as a minor character,
[06:08] ---
    but he's had a piddly number of lines.
[06:10] ---
    Now, he's going to talk his head off.
[06:13] ---
    I-I apologize for dragging
    you out here today.
[06:16] ---
    N-Not at all. I feel the same way...
[06:19] ---
    Um, uh... What are your interests?
[06:21] ---
    What should I do?
[06:22] ---
    I build Gundam models on occasion.
[06:23] ---
    I got carried away and I ended up here,
[06:24] ---
    Uh, did you know that back in the day,
[06:26] ---
    but I have no plan to get married...
[06:26] ---
    you could buy an Elmeth
    for 300 yen before tax?
[06:30] ---
    An Elmeth is a Gundam model, by the way.
[06:30] ---
    I feel terrible for doing this to him...
[06:32] ---
    The Federation feared
    the Elmeth as the "tricorn hat"
[06:34] ---
    and it was also known
    as the Ghost of Solomon.
[06:36] ---
    Though, when it was first released,
[06:39] ---
    it was packaged under the name
    "Elmeth", just like in the show.
[06:39] ---
    Well, I sure was young back then...
[06:42] ---
    Or rather, I must explain
    how things ended up this way.
SIGN    Pub Charm Droplets
[06:49] ---
    Cheers!
[06:55] ---
    So? How are things these days, Saki?
[06:57] ---
    What?
[06:58] ---
    That's right, how are things?
[07:00] ---
    "H-How are things?"
[07:02] ---
    That's what I should be asking you.
[07:04] ---
    What's going on with
    your job search, you two?
[07:08] ---
    I-Is being unproductive a crime?!
[07:10] ---
    We're working on self-realization!
    You know, self-realization!
[07:13] ---
    Sorry, I was wrong. I won't ask anymore.
[07:14] ---
    No one cares about that stuff.
[07:16] ---
    When girls get together and say,
    "How are things lately?"
[07:18] ---
    it's about men, of course!
[07:22] ---
    Wh-Why are you so intent on this?
[07:24] ---
    I have no need of a boyfriend.
[07:25] ---
    Besides, I'm too busy with work
    for that sort of thing.
[07:28] ---
    What a terribly mundane response.
[07:30] ---
    No attractive man is going to
    pay attention to you like that.
[07:33] ---
    Not to worry.
[07:35] ---
    I believe I get plenty of attention
    from an attractive man.
[07:39] ---
    What was with that comment?!
    So you do have a boyfriend?!
[07:42] ---
    N-No, uh...
[07:43] ---
    Give us the details!
[07:44] ---
    So, I mean, uh...
[07:49] ---
    Shoot. I didn't think I'd be out so late.
[07:53] ---
    There's no train that goes back
    to Nakano-Sakaue at this hour...
[07:57] ---
    I have no choice.
[07:58] ---
    I will call the Young Sir
    to make sure he does not worry
[08:00] ---
    and I will stay the night
    at my parent's today.
[08:02] ---
    Oh, okay, so you're not coming back.
[08:05] ---
    Uh, um, you sound rather happy about that.
[08:08] ---
    Really?
[08:09] ---
    It's not like I'm thinking I won't
    get scolded for staying out late.
[08:12] ---
    W-Well, anyway, I apologize
    for causing you worry.
[08:15] ---
    Huh? I wasn't worried.
[08:17] ---
    What?
[08:18] ---
    Uh, um, for a girl to go out drinking
    and come home in the morning is...
[08:22] ---
    Looks like I'll be getting
    a peaceful night's sleep tonight!
[08:30] ---
    Thank you for the meal.
[08:33] ---
    Wait, Saki, are you always
    this grumpy at mealtime?
[08:37] ---
    I was born grumpy.
[08:39] ---
    Oh, my, what a thing to say!
[08:41] ---
    Honestly!
[08:42] ---
    I'm coming back in the morning
    after going drinking
[08:44] ---
    and he's not worried at all?!
[08:46] ---
    Well, as you can see, nothing happens.
[08:52] ---
    Well, then, I am going back!
[08:54] ---
    Wait, Saki! Hold on!
[08:56] ---
    What is it?!
[08:57] ---
    Um, so Saki dear, do you have any
    interest in match-making meetings?
[09:00] ---
    Huh?
[09:02] ---
    Incidentally, this kit does
    not come with a figurine!
[09:05] ---
    However! It comes with Char's
    custom Gelgoog and 10 bits.
[09:06] ---
    Mention a match-making meeting
    in that situation and anyone would have...
[09:08] ---
    Incidentally, the scale is 1:550!
[09:12] ---
    Um, am I boring you
    with my Gundam model talk?
[09:15] ---
    Oh, I-I'm sorry. I was just
    thinking about something...
[09:19] ---
    No, I can tell by the glum
    look on your face.
[09:22] ---
    Oh, um...
[09:23] ---
    I'm 28 already and my parents
    are really getting on my case.
[09:26] ---
    What?
[09:27] ---
    They keep telling me to get married.
[09:29] ---
    So I reluctantly wound up coming
    to this match-making meeting...
[09:32] ---
    Oh, um, me, too.
[09:34] ---
    What?
[09:35] ---
    I was sort of forced into it
    and got carried away.
[09:37] ---
    I-I am sorry!
[09:39] ---
    Oh, no, I'm no better than you!
    M-More importantly...
[09:42] ---
    What?
[09:43] ---
    Where are we?
[09:49] ---
    This is...!
[09:53] ---
    Where in the world could they be?
[09:56] ---
    This place looks like there
    really could be wild animals here.
[09:59] ---
    Please do not worry! I shall
    protect you at the risk of my own life!
[10:04] ---
    Darn it! Which way could they be?!
[10:07] ---
    But Wataru, don't you care about Isumi?
[10:10] ---
    Wha?!
[10:13] ---
    Oh, my...
[10:15] ---
    Huh?! What's Isumi got to do
    with any of this?!
[10:18] ---
    Good point.
[10:19] ---
    In a typical romance, the pattern goes...
[10:21] ---
    If ya drag yer feet, unable to confess
    yer feelings to yer sweetheart,
[10:24] ---
    yer sweetheart starts gettin' offers
    for match-makin' meetings and stuff.
[10:27] ---
    It's not like that!
[10:29] ---
    Then just leave Saki alone.
[10:32] ---
    She's of age, so she's got
    a right to find happiness.
[10:36] ---
    Th-That's true, but...
[10:37] ---
    Ya don't make any sense.
[10:39] ---
    Well, not that it matters.
[10:40] ---
    It's already weird, since I'm your
    betrothed and I'm helping you here.
[10:44] ---
    Then, fine! I don't need any more help!
[10:46] ---
    Oh, there she is! Saki!
[10:48] ---
    What?!
[10:52] ---
    Where could we be?
[10:53] ---
    I have no idea.
[10:55] ---
    Do you suppose that's the way back?
[10:57] ---
    Who the heck is that?
    I've seen him somewhere before.
[11:00] ---
    Oh, that's Mr. Kaoru!
[11:02] ---
    Oh, that Gundam model freak!
[11:04] ---
    I can't hear them, but they
    seem like they're hitting it off.
[11:08] ---
    They certainly do.
[11:09] ---
    Damn it! That Saki!
[11:11] ---
    Don't tell me she's serious
    about a guy like him?!
[11:13] ---
    If only we could hear them somehow...
[11:16] ---
    I'll bet even the all-purpose butler
    can't do anythin' about this.
[11:19] ---
    Please leave it to me!
[11:20] ---
    What?!
[11:21] ---
    Please leave it to me, Miss!
[11:23] ---
    I thought such a need might arise,
    so I learned lip-reading with the SPK
[11:26] ---
    and I will use it
    to read their conversation!
[11:33] ---
    The truth is, um,
    there's someone I care for.
[11:36] ---
    What?
[11:37] ---
    "The truth is, Saki,
    you are the person I care for!"
[11:40] ---
    What?!
[11:41] ---
    O-Oh, someone you care for?
[11:44] ---
    Yes.
[11:45] ---
    "O-Oh, I also care for you!"
[11:48] ---
    So, who is this person you like?
[11:50] ---
    She's a childhood friend.
[11:52] ---
    She used to be really cute
    way back when, but...
SIGN    Yukiji
[11:55] ---
    This is ultimately the subjective
    vision of a man in love.
[11:59] ---
    As she grew older, she became more
    of a mess in terms of her personality.
[12:01] ---
    Actually, she was a mess to begin with...
[12:04] ---
    "So, what is it that you like?"
[12:05] ---
    "What I like about you is that you'd
    make a child wife and how you're cute."
[12:08] ---
    "I just want to mess you up.
    Actually, I want to mess you up big time!"
[12:11] ---
    But you still like her?
[12:13] ---
    "Th-Then do as you like with me!"
[12:18] ---
    I don't know what she thinks of me,
[12:20] ---
    but how you feel is something
    that's hard to change, you know?
[12:23] ---
    That's true.
[12:24] ---
    How you feel is...
[12:26] ---
    "I'm more of a skilled operator
    than you'd think,"
[12:28] ---
    "and I'll change things so it feels good!"
[12:29] ---
    "That's great! As long as it feels good!"
[12:31] ---
    I can't put up with this anymore! Saki!
[12:33] ---
    Ya moron!
[12:35] ---
    Ya jump out there without a plan
    and she'll just end up hatin' ya!
[12:39] ---
    Yes, she has a point.
[12:40] ---
    Th-Then what am I supposed to do?!
[12:42] ---
    How 'bout ya knock her out
    with a whack with this from behind.
[12:48] ---
    I-I don't know about that.
[12:50] ---
    As a globally standard method,
[12:53] ---
    how about creating a critical situation
[12:54] ---
    and once you've highlighted
    her partner's worthlessness,
[12:57] ---
    you go out there and resolve things?
[13:00] ---
    Th-That's my Hayate! That's good!
[13:02] ---
    Oh, please...
[13:03] ---
    That's too much of a cliché, right?
[13:05] ---
    This is the Heisei era, not Showa.
[13:08] ---
    Even Wataru won't go for a plan like...
[13:10] ---
    You're amazing that you can come up
    with a plan like that, Hayate!
[13:12] ---
    Right?! My butler is a genius!
[13:15] ---
    Yeah, he's a genius!
[13:16] ---
    Oh, please...
[13:18] ---
    Wataru probably doesn't watch
    cliché dramas of this sort, so...
[13:22] ---
    But assumin' we use this
    totally cliché method,
[13:25] ---
    how're we gonna create
    the critical situation?
[13:27] ---
    We're going to use Tama.
[13:29] ---
    Tama?
[13:30] ---
    Rarr.
[13:31] ---
    What's he doing here?
[13:32] ---
    He heard Maria talking to herself
    and couldn't resist coming.
[13:36] ---
    Rarr...
[13:39] ---
    So, I end up staying alone at home again.
[13:42] ---
    Well, I'll just sing
    to my heart's content then!
[13:53] ---
    Let us stop the...
[13:56] ---
    More Kinoppi than Kaakun.
    (Kaakun yori Kinoppi.)
[14:00] ---
    Do you like century eggs?
    (Piitan osuki desuka?)
[14:11] ---
    I suppose I'll get some cleaning done.
[14:13] ---
    That actually made me feel more lonely.
[14:19] ---
    Well, that's what's going on,
[14:21] ---
    so you leap out of the bushes
    and scare them a little.
[14:24] ---
    I don't mind doing that,
    but what do I get out of it?
[14:27] ---
    Let me think...
[14:29] ---
    If you don't do as I say,
[14:30] ---
    how about I reveal
    that you're a talking tiger
[14:32] ---
    and sell you off to the circus?
[14:34] ---
    A-All right already! Damn it!
[14:37] ---
    I believe I have Tama's
    cooperation now as well.
[14:39] ---
    Ya can communicate with tigers?
[14:42] ---
    Yes, in a way...
[14:43] ---
    That's my butler!
[14:45] ---
    Yeah!
[14:47] ---
    Sheesh! That Hayate!
[14:49] ---
    He looks so sweet, but
    the things he says are nasty. Man!
[14:56] ---
    Right then, Tama became aware
    of a terrifying menacing aura!
[14:59] ---
    Wh-What's this aura?
[15:03] ---
    They say animals instinctively
    known when approached
[15:05] ---
    by a beast that's stronger than them, but...
[15:08] ---
    So, my instincts still hadn't
    forgotten how to do that!
[15:13] ---
    Th-This vicious beast's aura...
[15:16] ---
    I-I can't move...
[15:22] ---
    I must apologize.
[15:23] ---
    Not only did I make you come
    to this match-making meeting,
[15:25] ---
    but you also had to listen to me
    selfishly talk about my life.
[15:29] ---
    Not at all.
[15:30] ---
    She's selfish and capricious,
    and she gets offended easily,
[15:35] ---
    but they tend to be the ones
    that are the hardest to ignore...
[15:39] ---
    Selfish and capricious, and easily offended?
[15:47] ---
    The truth is...
[15:48] ---
    Huh?
[15:49] ---
    Um, there's someone
    I find hard to ignore, too.
[15:55] ---
    I'm envious.
[15:56] ---
    What?
[15:57] ---
    Of that person who has your affections.
[16:11] ---
    Mr. Kaoru!
[16:12] ---
    Ooh! That was superbly agile for Tama!
[16:15] ---
    Now's yer chance, Wataru! Get goin' already!
[16:17] ---
    R-Right!
[16:19] ---
    Saki!
[16:21] ---
    You okay, Saki?!
[16:21] ---
    Young Sir! What are you doing here?
[16:24] ---
    Oh, no, uh... What am I...?
[16:27] ---
    Never mind that, we have to run!
[16:28] ---
    But we can't leave Mr. Kaoru behind!
[16:31] ---
    Leave it to me! I'll save him!
[16:39] ---
    That's good, that's good!
[16:40] ---
    This is getting to be quite
    an exciting turn of events!
[16:42] ---
    Yeah! I guess clichés
    can be good sometimes.
[16:46] ---
    Well, I was going to attack those guys,
[16:49] ---
    but I sensed the aura
    of this terrible beast,
[16:51] ---
    so I thought it was dicey and I came back.
[16:53] ---
    What?!
[16:55] ---
    What's wrong, Hayate?
[16:56] ---
    Um, it appears that beast
    we saw wasn't Tama...
[17:01] ---
    What?!
[17:02] ---
    Th-Then what's over there?
[17:04] ---
    It may be a real wild animal...
[17:07] ---
    What?!
[17:09] ---
    Young Sir, it is dangerous!
[17:11] ---
    Saki, you run!
[17:12] ---
    Young Sir!
[17:13] ---
    Come on out, beast! Let Mr. Kaoru go!
[17:15] ---
    Or I'll destroy you!
[17:18] ---
    Wataru,
[17:19] ---
    the thing in there isn't Tama,
    but a real wild animal.
[17:24] ---
    Take that! And that! And that! And that!
[17:25] ---
    Stop that, you idiot!
[17:30] ---
    Young Sir!
[17:32] ---
    Voltes Kick!
[17:34] ---
    Young Sir!
[17:38] ---
    Saki!
[17:41] ---
    Miss Katsura?!
[17:42] ---
    Y-Yukiji, what the heck are you doing here?
[17:46] ---
    I was told I could drink all I want
    at the match-making party,
[17:48] ---
    so I'd been drinking since yesterday,
[17:49] ---
    but they told me to knock it off
    and kicked me out!
[17:52] ---
    I got lost in the woods
[17:53] ---
    and I'm hungry and I'm on edge here!
[17:53] ---
    It's only natural
    that she'd get kicked out...
[17:55] ---
    I haven't had nearly enough to drink!
[17:55] ---
    I agree...
[17:57] ---
    For starters, we're going to Kabukicho
    and get back to drinking!
[18:00] ---
    You're treating!
[18:01] ---
    Help me! I'm going home!
[18:05] ---
    Did you come out of concern
    for my match-making meeting?
[18:08] ---
    Th-Things are busy at the shop.
[18:11] ---
    There's no time for match-making
    meetings. We're going home!
[18:13] ---
    Come on!
[18:22] ---
    You are right.
[18:24] ---
    I will not be able to get married
    for a while at the rate things are going.
[18:27] ---
    D-Damn straight! You dummy!
[18:38] ---
    Good grief. He's like a little brother
    who needs a lot of looking-after.
[18:42] ---
    Agreed.
[18:43] ---
    But does Wataru like Isumi?
    Or does he like Saki?
[18:48] ---
    What's up with him?
[18:50] ---
    Well, with boys,
    there are all kinds of "likes".
[18:56] ---
    I don't really understand,
[18:57] ---
    but boys are more
    complicated than I thought.
[19:00] ---
    Yes.
[19:01] ---
    This doesn't really matter,
    but was your lip-reading accurate?
[19:05] ---
    Actually, I'm pretty
    confident of my abilities.
[19:09] ---
    After a storm, relationships strengthen.
[19:11] ---
    Well, not that we care
    about the happiness of others.
[19:14] ---
    More importantly, next time,
    they'll be fighting against suspense!
