    Planning and Sales Section Chief
    at Minette, Mitsuo Aoyama, age 39.

[00:08] ---
    No one will look my way.
    No one has any interest in me.

[00:17] ---
    Mr. Tanaka,
    do you want to go to lunch?
[00:19] ---
    Yeah, good idea.
[00:21] ---
    No one's going to ask me, anyway.
[00:24] ---
    How about we have
    that sea bass special? It's the BASS-t!
[00:27] ---
    Just kidding!
[00:28] ---
    Hey, there you go again,
    with the silly puns!
[00:33] ---
    If I utter a pun, maybe I'll get
    some attention from my own subordinates.

[00:37] ---
    Your boss is im-BOSS-ibly uncool.
    Just kidding.
[00:40] ---
    What? No, no.
    You're a totally cool boss, Chief.
[00:44] ---
    I know you are.
[00:46] ---
    He didn't get my pun.
[00:48] ---
    But...
[00:49] ---
    Ba-bump!
[00:51] ---
    Chief, would you like to go to lunch?
[00:54] ---
    Yesssss!
[02:27] ---
    EPISODE 09
    I'LL LISTEN TO THAT~!
[02:50] ---
    This stuffed animal is alive.
[02:57] ---
    THE BEAR
[03:00] ---
    This horror movie looks good!
[03:04] ---
    Right, Manager doesn't like
    scary stuff.

[03:08] ---
    Bears are scary.
[03:10] ---
    Right now, Manager and I are on our way
    to return a wallet

[03:14] ---
    we found in front of our building
    to its owner.

[03:19] ---
    Uh, Manager?
[03:20] ---
    It should be around here.
[03:22] ---
    Uh, right.
[03:34] ---
    Welcome.
[03:38] ---
    Yay! I have some visitors!
[03:38] ---
    SHIROSAKI
    POV
[03:45] ---
    Manager!
[03:46] ---
    Shirosaki?
[03:49] ---
    Thank you for coming all this way
    to bring me my wallet.
[03:52] ---
    It's fine. I thought it would be
    inconvenient not to have it.
[03:55] ---
    Pardon me.
[03:57] ---
    Tons of Kumattechans!
[03:59] ---
    Who knew that I'd drop my wallet?
[04:02] ---
    You've been busy, Chief.
    You must be exhausted.
[04:05] ---
    So we brought you something sweet
    to relieve your fatigue.
[04:09] ---
    Weepy, weepy...
[04:11] ---
    I nearly used your wallet to buy them.
[04:16] ---
    Gotta hand it to you, Shirosaki.
[04:18] ---
    I'll go make some honey tea, okay?
[04:20] ---
    You two sit with Kumattechan
    on the sofa and wait, okay?
[04:26] ---
    A LITTLE SCARED TO SIT NEXT TO HIM
[04:31] ---
    He moved!
[04:39] ---
    Thank you for the desserts!
[04:46] ---
    Really, this is such a beautiful house.
    So spacious.
[04:50] ---
    Thanks.
    But it's lonely living here by myself,
[04:54] ---
    so I was thinking of selling it
    right after my divorce went through.
[04:57] ---
    What?
[04:58] ---
    But since these Kumattechans arrived,
[05:01] ---
    I've felt less lonely,
    and now I'm enjoying my life here.
[05:06] ---
    Kumattechan gave Chief moral support.
[05:10] ---
    Sorry I was scared of you.
[05:15] ---
    Hey, it's fluffy and cute.
[05:19] ---
    I never knew that side of Chief.
[05:27] ---
    Hey, it's Kumattechan!
[05:32] ---
    Hey, Momose. Morning!
[05:35] ---
    Morning, Kinjo.
[05:43] ---
    Why do you have a mic on yours?
[05:46] ---
    This is the symbol
    from my favorite anime.
[05:49] ---
    Anime?
[05:50] ---
    Yeah. My hobby is watching anime.
[05:54] ---
    Really? I never would've guessed!
[05:57] ---
    Oh, Manager. Good morning!
[06:00] ---
    Good morning.
[06:02] ---
    Morning.
[06:09] ---
    Kinjo, are you free tonight?
[06:11] ---
    What's going on?
[06:13] ---
    Do you want to get dinner?
[06:15] ---
    Sure, I'll go! The usual four, right?
[06:19] ---
    No, would you mind
    if it was just you and me?
[06:22] ---
    Not yet!
[06:24] ---
    Right, not yet. I get it.
    It's too soon for us to be alone, right?
[06:29] ---
    No, it hasn't boiled yet.
    It's still water!
[06:38] ---
    Going drinking one-on-one with Manager!
[06:44] ---
    You're going drinking,
    just the two of you?
[06:45] ---
    Yeah. Seems like there's something
    Manager wants to ask me.
[06:49] ---
    Something he wants to ask you?
[06:51] ---
    No one wants to go drinking
    one-on-one with me.
[06:59] ---
    Chief?
[07:01] ---
    If you're interested, would you
    like to go drinking with me?
[07:05] ---
    GASP
[07:06] ---
    Yesssss!
[07:08] ---
    This might be a chance
    to get to know Chief better!

[07:12] ---
    MOMOTARO
[07:14] ---
    You're studying anime?
[07:16] ---
    Yeah. Lately we've been getting more and
    more requests for anime-related ads,
[07:21] ---
    so I'd like to know more about it.
[07:23] ---
    I see. So that's why
    you wanted to talk to me.
[07:26] ---
    I'm planning to watch a few titles.
[07:29] ---
    But there are so many shows,
    you don't know what to start with, right?
[07:33] ---
    Exactly.
[07:36] ---
    We need to find something
    that's easy to get into.
[07:39] ---
    Hey!
[07:41] ---
    What about this? Since you love cats,
    I'd recommend it for you.
[07:42] ---
    MEOW-DOL MASTER
[07:45] ---
    It's a show about anthropomorphic cats.
[07:47] ---
    Meow-dol Master?
[07:49] ---
    God-tier episodes every week,
[07:51] ---
    and they put a lot of work
    into the Part Cs and the end titles.
[07:53] ---
    Hey, and the people in them
    are top-notch!
[07:56] ---
    PART C
    END TITLES
[07:56] ---
    GOD-TIER
    PEOPLE INSIDE
[07:57] ---
    I have no idea what he's saying.
[07:59] ---
    It's got three seasons so far.
    My personal favorite is Mujirushi!
[08:04] ---
    Mujirushi.
[08:05] ---
    MUJIRUSHI
[08:06] ---
    Hey, I know what that is.
[08:07] ---
    I like Mujirushi, too. I bought some
    butter chicken curry the other day.
[08:12] ---
    That's another Mujirushi!
[08:16] ---
    Sorry. I was going on and on,
    spouting jargon.
[08:20] ---
    I was so thrilled to be talking
    anime with you. I couldn't help it.
[08:23] ---
    No, it's just that I'm too clueless about it.
[08:26] ---
    I'll give this show a try.
[08:28] ---
    By the way,
    what's your absolute favorite, Kinjo?
[08:31] ---
    What, you're gonna go there?
[08:34] ---
    The show that I got the most addicted to
    is called Mic Prince!
[08:39] ---
    Mi-Pri started out as a smartphone game,
[08:43] ---
    but then it got an anime adaptation,
    and the story's super loaded,
[08:46] ---
    and the character songs are also godly.
[08:48] ---
    Hm, hm, I see.
[08:50] ---
    Hey, once in a while,
    they even do virtual live shows!
[08:52] ---
    I take my stuffed animal
    and take part in them!
[08:55] ---
    You wouldn't believe how obsessed I am.
[08:57] ---
    Incomprehensible.
[09:00] ---
    Hey, want to see my waifu?
[09:02] ---
    What? You're married?
[09:05] ---
    My waifu... My waifu...
[09:09] ---
    HEART POUNDING
[09:09] ---
    I'd like to see her.
[09:12] ---
    Found it!
[09:14] ---
    It's this character.
[09:16] ---
    I'm going to sing just for you.
[09:23] ---
    CANNOT KEEP UP
[09:24] ---
    Manager? Please come back!
[09:28] ---
    Manager and Kinjo
    must be drinking right now, huh?
[09:32] ---
    Probably. Back when I was
    Shirosaki's supervisor,
[09:36] ---
    the two of us used to go drinking a lot.
[09:38] ---
    How many years ago was it
    that you were Manager's supervisor?
[09:43] ---
    I think it's been ten years?
[09:45] ---
    He was the second employee
    that I supervised.
[09:49] ---
    I'd messed up the first one,
    so I was really nervous.
[09:54] ---
    I'm sure it was my fault
    that new hire quit.

[09:58] ---
    Trauma.
[09:59] ---
    The new hire that Aoyama once supervised
    quit after a week, right?
[10:04] ---
    Oh, you mean that kid who snapped,
    saying he didn't want to work anymore?
[10:09] ---
    That type of person would quit no matter
    who supervised him, don't you think?
[10:12] ---
    What am I going to do
    if my new subordinate quits, too?

[10:15] ---
    I'm going to be extra careful.
[10:19] ---
    My name is Shirosaki.
    Nice to meet you.
[10:23] ---
    I'm Aoyama. Nice to meet you.
[10:24] ---
    HEART POUNDING
[10:26] ---
    Oh, I greeted him without standing up.
    He's going to snap and quit.

[10:30] ---
    All right, why don't we do some light training
    in the conference room?
[10:34] ---
    Right.
[10:36] ---
    Good work.
[10:39] ---
    The humidifier in this room is out of order,
    so it's pretty dry in here.
[10:42] ---
    Have some water, if you like.
[10:44] ---
    Wait, you're done with it already?
[10:47] ---
    Yes.
[10:48] ---
    He's a competent kid. If I make even
    one mistake, he'll snap, and then quit.

[10:55] ---
    So once you seal those up,
    we'll be done.
[10:58] ---
    Right.
[10:59] ---
    Glue...
[11:02] ---
    I'm sorry, I left it on my desk.
    Would you mind if I borrowed this one?
[11:10] ---
    If you don't mind
    sharing an indirect kiss with me.
[11:11] ---
    LIP BALM
[11:14] ---
    Lip balm? Sorry, I thought
    it was a glue stick.
[11:18] ---
    And I was so nervous,
    I forgot to bring along my glue stick.
[11:21] ---
    I'm really sorry.
[11:23] ---
    Whoa, I'm sorry! Are you all right?
[11:31] ---
    NATURAL WATER
[11:35] ---
    Thanks to Shirosaki, my own tension
    dissipated just like that.
[11:40] ---
    My trauma also vanished without a trace.
[11:46] ---
    Huh? It's a message from Manager.
[11:50] ---
    Meow-dol Master?
[11:53] ---
    Sorry, I was trying to save an anime photo,
    but sent it to you by mistake.

[11:58] ---
    "The thing is, I'm studying
    anime right now."
[12:02] ---
    What? Shirosaki?
[12:04] ---
    Yes.
[12:05] ---
    Well, we've been getting more
    and more requests for anime-related ads.
[12:10] ---
    Shirosaki sure is diligent.
[12:12] ---
    Kinjo said he was an anime fan,
    so that's why Manager...
[12:17] ---
    Okay, we're going to dance
    to the rhythm together!

[12:21] ---
    Meow-dol Master's songs
    and dances are popular!
[12:26] ---
    Hey, I know! Want to go to karaoke now?
[12:31] ---
    Chief, thank you for today.
[12:34] ---
    We had fun, didn't we?
[12:37] ---
    Good night!
[12:41] ---
    That was fun, talking about
    all kinds of things.

[12:44] ---
    Now I want to know
    more about the chief.

[12:51] ---
    I've totally mastered this dance!
[12:53] ---
    I'm going to do my best
    to keep up with you!

[13:21] ---
    I ended up singing tons of songs!
[13:23] ---
    Manager, what do you want to sing next?
[13:26] ---
    Thank you so much for today.
[13:34] ---
    I should be thanking you.
[13:42] ---
    I've always wanted
    to drink with you one-on-one.
[13:46] ---
    So this was the best night of my life.
[13:48] ---
    Kinjo, I'm going to do my best
    to learn about anime.
[13:54] ---
    Please create
    an anime ad with me someday.
[13:58] ---
    You bet!
[14:04] ---
    So cute!
[14:06] ---
    I've learned some of the dance moves, too.
[14:12] ---
    That's awesome!
[14:20] ---
    I'm home.
[14:21] ---
    Whoa!
[14:25] ---
    Welcome home... Meow...
[14:27] ---
    Meow? What happened with Kinjo?
[14:34] ---
    Manager, are you all right?
[14:37] ---
    Guess he had a good time?
[14:40] ---
    I'll ask him tomorrow.
[14:45] ---
    Good morning!
[14:46] ---
    Morning.
[14:47] ---
    Nice weather today, huh?
[14:50] ---
    M-Ms. Konno?
[14:51] ---
    Oh, sorry for yelling all of a sudden.
[14:54] ---
    No, no. Is something the matter?
[14:57] ---
    I was supposed to be in charge
    of a mixer tonight,
[15:00] ---
    but all of the guys caught the flu.
[15:03] ---
    My friends are going to be bummed.
[15:05] ---
    Help me out, Momose and Chief!
[15:08] ---
    When did you get here?
[15:09] ---
    Everyone, can you take part
    in a mixer tonight?
[15:13] ---
    I can go!
[15:15] ---
    Thanks!
[15:17] ---
    What about you, Momose and Chief?
[15:18] ---
    What? Uh, if someone like me is okay.
[15:21] ---
    Same here. Even though
    I'll only dampen the mood if I go.
[15:26] ---
    Thank you so much!
[15:27] ---
    HEY...
[15:28] ---
    Hey, speaking of mixers...
[15:31] ---
    Uh, excuse me.
[15:33] ---
    Manager!
[15:36] ---
    Would you like to come to a mixer?
[15:38] ---
    Mister?
[15:39] ---
    A mixer, actually.
    You'd be helping her out!
[15:43] ---
    Momose? Are you all right? Hey...
[15:53] ---
    Speaking of mixers, years ago...
[15:56] ---
    Come to the mixer
    to balance out the numbers.
[15:59] ---
    I went because Mr. Kurono asked me to.
[16:02] ---
    But it didn't really go well.
[16:05] ---
    And I got kicked.
[16:06] ---
    You didn't do your job and get everyone
    pumped up. That's why it didn't go well!
[16:11] ---
    I have to make sure it's fun.
[16:14] ---
    Mixers are scary.
[16:17] ---
    Whoa! Chief! When did you get here?
[16:19] ---
    I've been behind you all along.
[16:27] ---
    And so...
[16:29] ---
    Some proper-looking guys showed up.
[16:31] ---
    Those suits look expensive.
[16:33] ---
    I'm so nervous.
[16:34] ---
    It's a fancy restaurant,
    but they serve beef bowls.
[16:37] ---
    And looks like there's
    a salad bar in the back.
[16:39] ---
    I'm going to do all I can
    to get everyone pumped up!

[16:42] ---
    Y-You've all been friends
    since elementary school, right?
[16:46] ---
    That's right!
[16:48] ---
    This is my friend, Kumattechan.
[16:52] ---
    I tagged along. Yay!
[16:54] ---
    Ventriloquism?
[16:56] ---
    That flowery dress sure is cute.
[16:59] ---
    Thank you very much!
[17:00] ---
    Ahem.
[17:02] ---
    I know I'm not cute.
[17:04] ---
    Super-cute, super-cute.
[17:08] ---
    You're on a roll, Chief!
[17:09] ---
    Excuse me. Please grill these vegetables
    lightly before eating hem.
[17:15] ---
    Right.
[17:18] ---
    Grill them with fire?
[17:21] ---
    Manager, that's a candle for lighting.
[17:26] ---
    Please use this brazier.
[17:29] ---
    I can see myself
    when I was happy in this flame.
[17:33] ---
    Are you the Little Match-girl?
[17:35] ---
    Funny!
[17:38] ---
    I've got to get something going, too.
[17:40] ---
    Excuse me, what blood type are you all?
[17:43] ---
    Oh, we're all Type A.
[17:47] ---
    Ehhhh?
[17:48] ---
    A dad joke, out of nowhere!
[17:52] ---
    What blood type are you?
[17:55] ---
    My heart is quite bloody.
    So much happened in my life.
[17:59] ---
    Heavy, much?
[18:02] ---
    Here's the fried chicken.
    I'll divvy them up.
[18:08] ---
    Lemon...
[18:10] ---
    Lemon in both eyes again.
[18:12] ---
    Manager!
[18:15] ---
    My glasses always deflect
    the lemon juice anyway.
[18:22] ---
    You're in top form today!
[18:25] ---
    We've never been to a mixer
    this fun, have we?
[18:27] ---
    I know!
[18:29] ---
    I was nervous at first,
    but I'm really enjoying myself!
[18:29] ---
    BEEF BOWL
[18:31] ---
    Good to hear!
[18:33] ---
    It's all thanks to Chief
    being the life of the party.

[18:37] ---
    I'm going to go get some salad, okay?
[18:39] ---
    I'll go with you.
[18:43] ---
    Chief, what's up with you today?
[18:46] ---
    Did one of those girls catch your eye?
[18:48] ---
    No, nothing like that.
[18:50] ---
    Hey, you're being secretive!
[18:53] ---
    I'm going to salad bar, too.
[18:54] ---
    Oh, I'll get it for you, Manager.
[18:58] ---
    Sorry.
[18:59] ---
    Chief, no fair keeping secrets from me!
[19:03] ---
    Kinjo's about to cry. Snivel, snivel.
[19:06] ---
    Hey! The pineapples look yummy!
[19:08] ---
    Oh, hey, it's not what you think,
    Kinjo. It's Momose.
[19:12] ---
    Huh? Me?
[19:15] ---
    Are you setting your sights on Momose?
    How did that happen?
[19:18] ---
    No, Momose said,
    "Mixer... got kicked, scary..." No, never mind.
[19:25] ---
    Chief?
[19:26] ---
    Momose?
[19:27] ---
    My inner voice that said I once got kicked
    by my boss at a mixer, so mixers are scary.
[19:33] ---
    I said it all out loud, didn't I?
[19:35] ---
    What? Uh, yes.
[19:39] ---
    So the reason you were working the room
    so hard with your dad jokes
[19:43] ---
    and getting everyone so pumped up...
[19:47] ---
    Yeah.
[19:49] ---
    I wanted to make it such a fun mixer
    that you'd forget the terror of your past.
[19:57] ---
    Do mixers still scare you?
[20:00] ---
    Fear, fear...
[20:04] ---
    fly away!
[20:07] ---
    Chief.
[20:09] ---
    I'll be heading back now.
[20:14] ---
    I see. It was all for your sake, huh?
[20:19] ---
    What's wrong, Momose?
    You got a stomachache?
[20:22] ---
    I'm just so moved that I got to meet
    these amazing bosses.
[20:28] ---
    I want to do something to thank the chief.
[20:31] ---
    Then let's go back,
    and shower him with attention!
[20:34] ---
    Okay!
[20:38] ---
    Yes. Right, right. Understood.
[20:40] ---
    She just got a call about work,
    so she's going to step out for a while.
[20:45] ---
    Then until she gets back,
    I'm sitting with the girls!
[20:48] ---
    Oh no! I'm face-to-face with Mr. Aoyama!
[20:51] ---
    You looked at me!
[20:54] ---
    Chief looks so thrilled
    to be getting some attention.

[20:57] ---
    Thanks, Kinjo.
[21:00] ---
    All right, let me see what I can do.
[21:03] ---
    Hey, Chief!
    You've got a mole on your ear!
[21:07] ---
    You found it!
[21:11] ---
    Mr. Aoyama, you're too cute!
[21:17] ---
    So, did you meet anyone you liked?
[21:21] ---
    Yes, we did!
[21:22] ---
    What? Who?
[21:25] ---
    The person who tried to make us happy...
[21:27] ---
    ...and found a great venue and great guys...
[21:30] ---
    ...and worked so hard to organize this event!
[21:33] ---
    Me?
[21:37] ---
    After-party. Yay!
[21:41] ---
    Who's going to sing?
[21:45] ---
    I'll sing...
[21:47] ---
    an anime song.
[21:48] ---
    Wow!
[21:53] ---
    Give it your all and do your best!
[23:37] ---
    Amazing!
[23:37] ---
    That's perfect!
