    Would it kill you to be

[00:08] Shinozaki
    And who's Akina-san?
[00:10] Akina
    That'd be me! Akina Chihiro.
[00:12] Shinozaki
    Oh, Manager! Sorry about that.
[00:15] Yamagishi (F)
    Shinozaki-kun, is Katase-san around?
[00:17] Shinozaki
    She just stepped out.
[00:20] Akina
    Oh, so you remember her name, huh?

    I mean, she's my immediate senior!

    that it's Tuesday, bro?

    Yeah, I was.

    Cool as ice, like always, Hayakawa-san.
[00:55] Yamgishi (M)
    Zakishino, this is gonna be a long week!
[00:59] Shinozaki
    It's the same length as it was last week.

    Sorry, I made plans to eat with Yamagishi-kun.

[02:58] Akina
    Shinozaki-kun!
[02:59] Shinozaki
    Yes, sir?!
[03:01] Akina
    Care to join me for lunch?
[03:04] Shinozaki
    The boss where I work...
[03:06] Shinozaki
    is someone I truly don't understand.
[03:10] Akina
    So, how's work going?
[03:12] Shinozaki
    Thanks to Senpai's help,
    it's been a lot of fun.
[03:16] Akina
    That's good to hear.
[03:19] Akina
    We have a hard time getting new personnel,
[03:21] Akina
    so when you were hired, Katase-san
    was so excited, she became a handful.
[03:27] Shinozaki
    She was?
[03:28] Akina
    Indeed she was.
[03:29] Akina
    I remember it like it was yesterday...
[03:33] (Flashback) Akina
    I'm thinking of interviewing this one.
[03:36] (Flashback) Shiori
    Is it a boy or a girl?
[03:40] (Flashback) Akina
    Interview's all done.
    He seems nice, so it's a done deal.
[03:43] (Flashback) Shiori
    When's he coming? When are you expecting?
[03:46] Akina
    At the time I wondered,
    "Huh? Am I having a baby?"
[03:50] Akina
    My son.
[03:51] Shinozaki
    I'm sorry, who?
[03:52] Shiori
    Manager...
[03:54] Shiori
    Could you not tell Shinozaki-san
    these weird stories?
[03:58] Shinozaki
    Senpai?
[03:59] Akina
    Excuse me, could I get the tuna and
    mushroom Arrabbiata, and the shrimp...
[04:02] Shiori
    Are you listening to me?!
[04:05] Akina
    Why, of course I am.
[04:07] Akina
    She's cute when she's mad, too, isn't she?
[04:09] Shinozaki
    Er, uh, yes. She is—
[04:11] Shiori
    Please don't make him say that!
[04:13] Akina
    Now, now.... Since you're here,
    Katase-san, why don't you join us?
[04:18] Shiori
    O-Okay.
[04:20] Akina
    Have to say, it's nostalgic to think about.
[04:23] Akina
    Do you remember when
    Shinozaki-kun first joined up?
[04:26] Shinozaki
    I mean, it wasn't really that long ago...
[04:30] Akina
    I suppose you're right!
    It was just a while back.
[04:33] Shiori
    Are we still talking about this?!
    It's ancient news!
[04:37] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    My name is Shinozaki Takuma,
    and I'll be working here starting today.
[04:42] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    It's nice to meet all of you!
[04:43] (Flashback) Akina
    I'm Akina, your manager.
    Nice to meet you.
[04:45] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    Yes, sir! Thanks in advance for your guidance!
[04:49] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    It's a pleasure to be working for you!
[04:51] (Flashback) Akina
    This is Katase-san.
[04:53] (Flashback) Akina
    You'll be sitting next to her,
    so if you have questions, she'll help you.
[04:58] (Flashback) Shiori
    I'm Katase. If you need to
    know anything, just ask.
[05:02] Shinozaki
    So tiny! And cute!
[05:04] Shiori
    A kohai! I got a kohai!
[05:05] Shinozaki
    What is this fluttery, little creature?!
[05:07] Shiori
    A kohai, a kohai!
[05:08] Shinozaki
    I can't believe my seat
    gets such benefits...
[05:10] (Flashback) Akina
    Someone's excited!
[05:13] (Flashback) Shiori
    Please, Manager, cut that out!
[05:16] Shinozaki
    Heartwarming...
[05:18] (Flashback) Shiori
    Let's start with getting your PC set up.
[05:21] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    Right.
[05:23] Shinozaki
    This company seems great.
[05:25] Shinozaki
    I get a feeling this job will be fun.
[05:30] Shinozaki
    She's staring a hole in me!
[05:32] Shinozaki
    It's a gaze that won't let
    a single mistake slip by...
[05:35] Shinozaki
    not of concern, but of oversight!
[05:37] Shinozaki
    Wait...
[05:39] Shinozaki
    Could that friendly act
    from earlier be a facade
[05:41] Shinozaki
    to get my to lower my guard
    before they harshly evaluate me?!
[05:45] (Flashback) Shiori
    I dunno about this one.
[05:46] (Flashback) Akina
    You don't, eh?
[05:47] Shinozaki
    In that case, I better stay on my toes!
[05:50] Shinozaki
    Maybe I can't make a good impression,
    but I can at least avoid a bad one!
[05:56] Shinozaki
    Her gaze is getting even more intense!

    Which is it?!

    For now, I should check the guidelines again...

[06:39] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    Th-Thank you...
[06:42] Akina
    You were totally intimidated by
    Katase-san at first, weren't you?
[06:46] Shinozaki
    It's more like... I was getting nervous
    and freaking out a bit.
[06:50] Shiori
    It was the same for me.
[06:53] Shiori

[07:05] Shiori
    But I can't! Manager will make fun
    of me for making a fuss again...
[07:08] Shiori
    Just stay focused and
    keep from grinning too much...
[07:13] Shiori
    He seems to be having some trouble.
[07:15] Shiori
    This looks like a job for his senpai!
[07:19] (Flashback) Shiori
    For the network password, it's your branch
    name and then your employee ID number.
[07:23] (Flashback) Shinozaki

    Oh, sorry, I shouldn't impose.
[07:29] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    No, it's okay.
     I should've been the one to ask.
[07:32] (Flashback) Shiori
    But really, if you have
    questions, don't hesitate.
[07:36] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    Sure!
[07:37] Shinozaki
    She really was worried...
[07:41] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    Thanks for your concern, Senpai.
[07:46] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    Oh, should I not call you Senpai? Is it

    Ah, that really takes me back!
[08:44] Akina
    Huh?
[08:45] Akina
    What's wrong, you two?
[08:46] Shiori
    It's kind of embarrassing to think about...

    Well, to make up for embarrassing you two...

    Dessert will be my treat. What would you like?
[08:58] Shiori
    Really?! Thank you so much!
[09:02] Shiori
    What should I get...?
[09:03] Shinozaki
    Senpai, you let him buy you off
    a little too easily.
[09:07] Shiori
    Do you not want dessert, Shinozaki-san?
[09:09] Shiori
    If you don't, I'd be glad to eat yours!
[09:12] Shinozaki
    I'll take mine, thanks!
[09:14] Akina
    Oh, dear.

    I got super nervous having a
    meeting at another company...
[09:34] Shiori
    You do, don't you?
[09:37] Shinozaki
    It was a huge relief having you backing me up.
[09:42] Shiori
    Was it a good reminder that I'm your senpai?
[09:46] Shinozaki
    It was!
[09:48] Shiori
    Well, let's head back to the office
    and get back to work!
[09:52] Shinozaki
    R-Right!
[10:05] Shiori
    So cute!
[10:07] Shinozaki
    Is it some kind of mascot character?
[10:10] Shiori
    A kitty with a bunny hoodie,
    and a doggy with a bear hoodie!
[10:16] Shinozaki
    Y'know, this stuffed animal...
[10:19] Shiori
    Something about this stuffed animal...
[10:22] Shinozaki
    It reminds me of Senpai.
[10:22] Shiori
    It reminds me of Shinozaki-san.
[10:26] Shiori
    You think so...?
[10:28] Shiori
    Is this how I look to you?
[10:32] Shinozaki
    Well, when I say that, I mean...
[10:37] Shinozaki
    You can say "You're that cute!"
    It's the perfect time to say it, me!
[10:43] Shinozaki
    Y-You are kinda catlike, I'd say...
[10:46] Shiori
    You really think so?
[10:48] Shinozaki
    Extremely feline!
[10:50] Shinozaki
    And is this how you see me, Senpai?
[10:54] Shiori
    That's right.
[10:56] Shiori
    There's something about his gaze,
[10:57] Shiori
    and the unique look
    of a dog in a bear hoodie...
[11:00] Shiori
    I dare say he's 90% Shinozaki-san.
[11:03] Shinozaki
    Almost 100%?!
[11:09] Shinozaki
    Well... would you like me to catch them?
[11:12] Shiori
    Can you?!
[11:14] Shinozaki
    I think so.
[11:16] Shinozaki
    When I was in high school,
    I used to spend a lot of time at the arcade,
[11:19] Shinozaki
    and I had a pretty decent collection
    of cute plushies like these.
[11:24] Shiori
    You must like cute things, Shinozaki-san.
[11:27] Shinozaki
    I do.
[11:29] Shinozaki
    One of the reasons I applied to Sunpick was
[11:31] Shinozaki
    because I wanted to be involved in
    making that sort of thing.
[11:35] Shiori
    I like that.
[11:38] Shiori
    Cute things, I mean!
[11:40] Shinozaki
    I see! That makes sense...
    Got kind of worked up there.
[11:44] Shiori
    Is something wrong?
[11:46] Shinozaki
    Oh, no, nothing.
[11:48] Shiori
    Our company's character, Meowtaro,
    is cute, too, isn't he?
[11:53] Shinozaki
    We had plenty of Meowtaro
    merch at home, too.
[11:56] Shinozaki
    My sister is six years older,
    and she loves him.
[11:59] Shinozaki
    Me liking cute stuff might be
    her influence, come to think of it.
[12:05] Shiori
    So you're a big sister's boy, Shinozaki-san?
[12:08] Shinozaki
    I dunno if I'd say that.
[12:14] Shiori
    It's cute.
[12:17] Shinozaki
    Y-You're the cute one, Senpai!
[12:22] Shinozaki
    Okay, here we go.
[12:24] Shiori
    Okay. Good luck!
[12:29] Shiori
    Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy...
[12:36] Shiori
    Sulk...
[12:38] Shiori
    That was a close one.
[12:39] Shinozaki
    I got more than
    a 100 yen's worth of value, for sure.
[12:42] Shinozaki
    I get the feeling I can manage on the next one.
[12:44] Shiori
    Are you sure?

[13:04] Shinozaki
    Sorry about that, Senpai. But this time...
[13:07] Shiori
    Don't worry about it, Shinozaki-san.

[13:39] Shiori
    It's fine.
[13:41] Shiori
    Two at once! Nicely done!
[13:44] Shinozaki
    Nah, that was a coincidence.
[13:47] Shiori
    Maybe the other one was worried
    about being lonely and tagged along.
[13:53] Shinozaki
    Th-That might be it.
[13:55] Shinozaki
    And you said that one reminded you of me...
[13:58] Shiori
    In that case, they should
    stay together, so they don't get lonely.
[14:04] Shinozaki
    Together...!
[14:10] Shinozaki
    She means the stuffed animals! That's all!
[14:13] Shiori
    Now that we've got them, let's name them!
[14:16] Shiori
    Since this one's a bear dog
    that looks like Shinozaki-san...
[14:20] Shiori
    Takuma-kun!
[14:21] Shinozaki
    That's kind of on the nose, isn't it?!
SIGN    Shinozaki Takuma
[14:23] Shiori
    Is that bad?
    I like how it has "kuma" like bear.
[14:26] Shinozaki
    I didn't say no!
[14:29] Shinozaki
    In that case, this one...
[14:30] Shinozaki
    Should probably be "Shiori-san," right?
[14:34] Shiori
    That's fine by me.
[14:35] Shinozaki
    It is?!
[14:37] Shiori
    They'd get along as senpai and kohai, then.
[14:41] Shinozaki
    G-Good point...
[14:43] Shinozaki
    Something about this is giving me
    butterflies in my tummy...

[14:48] Shiori
    Thank you for getting
    these stuffed animals for me.
[14:53] Shinozaki
    Were you really that glad about it?
[14:56] Shiori
    Yes.
[15:02] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    This one should probably be

[15:50] Shinozaki
    Wh-What the...?
[15:51] Yamagishi(F)
    Say hello to the anthropomorphized
    hot version of Meowtaro!
[15:54] Yamagishi(F)
    The idea is to seize control of
    the latent otome game fan demographic!
[15:58] Shinozaki
    Would that work?
[16:00] Hayakawa
    I guess it could.
[16:01] Shinozaki
    I see...
[16:03] Shinozaki
    I'm not sure what fans of
    classic Meowtaro will think of this, though.
[16:06] Shiori
    I thought you all had gone home.
    What are you doing?
[16:09] Shinozaki
    Speaking of classic fans!
[16:13] Yamagishi(F)
    Katase-san, I'd love to hear your opinion.
[16:16] Yamagishi(F)
    Check out the Meowtaro video game!
[16:18] Shiori
    A Meowtaro video game?!
[16:20] Yamagishi(F)
    Here it is!
[16:23] Yamagishi(F)
    What do you think, Katase-san?
[16:25] Yamagishi (F)
    It's an otome game featuring
    an anthropomorphized hot version of Meowtaro!
[16:28] Shiori
    This is Meowtaro...?
[16:30] Shiori
    Hot?
[16:30] Shiori
    Anthropomorphized?
[16:31] Shiori
    And this is Meowtaro...
[16:33] Shiori
    What in the world...?
[16:36] Shinozaki
    Senpai's neural circuits have shorted out!
[16:39] Yamagishi(F)
    Now, what I really wanted to ask you about
    are some romantic anecdotes.
[16:44] Shinozaki
    Romantic anecdotes?
[16:46] Yamagishi(F)
    Remember, this is a Meowtaro dating sim.
[16:51] Yamagishi(F)
    So I was hoping to hear about all kinds of
    romantic stories, for reference!
[16:56] Shiori
    R-Romantic anecdotes, huh...?

    Wait, have none of you been

SIGN    Bingo
[17:12] Shinozaki
    C-Come to think of it, Hayakawa,
    when you were interviewing for Sunpick,
[17:16] Shinozaki
    didn't you say you ran into Prince Charming?
[17:19] Hayakawa
    You wanna talk about that now?!
[17:22] Yamagishi(F)
    What is that all about?! Spill the details!
[17:27] Hayakawa
    Well... it wasn't that big of a deal.

    Interview Venue
[17:36] Hayakawa
    I can't believe this happened
    right before an important interview...
[17:40] Hayakawa
    I really screwed up...
[17:42] Hayakawa
    What now?
[17:43] (Flashback) Akina
    Are you all right?
[17:48] (Flashback) Akina
    You've got an interview, right?
[17:50] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    Y-Yes...
[17:52] (Flashback) Akina
    One second.
[17:55] (Flashback) Akina
    There you go.
[17:57] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    Thank you very much.
[17:59] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    It'll be a while
    until it dries completely, but...
[18:02] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    Try it on.
[18:04] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    O-Okay.
[18:12] (Flashback) Akina
    Good luck with the interview.
[18:16] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    R-Right...
[18:19] (Flashback) Akina
    Be seeing you.
[18:24] Hayakawa
    Does he work at Sunpick...?
[18:29] (Flashback) Office Worker (30s; female)
    Could the next interviewee please come in?
[18:31] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    Coming!
[18:33] Hayakawa
    I wonder if I'll see him again
    if I get the job...
[18:36] Hayakawa
    No, not now!
[18:38] Hayakawa
    I need to focus on the interview!
[18:42] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    Pardon me.
[18:46] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    My name is Hayakawa Chinatsu.
    Thank you for your time today.
[18:54] Shiori
    So the person who helped you was one of
    the people conducting the interview?
[18:58] Shiori
    That feels an awful lot like fate!
[19:01] Yamagishi(F)
    Who was it, anyway? Did you
    see him again after getting the job?
[19:05] Hayakawa
    W-Well, I did, but...
[19:12] Hayakawa
    The thing about fireworks is...
[19:14] Hayakawa
    they're pretty because
    you see them at a distance.
[19:17] Yamagishi(F)
    She got weirdly philosophical about it!
[19:19] Hayakawa
    Never mind that! I told one,
    so you need to, too, Yamagishi-san!
[19:24] Yamagishi(F)
    Me?! I...
[19:26] Yamagishi(F)
    I mean, obviously I don't have any!
    That's the whole reason I'm asking!
[19:31] Yamagishi(F)
    The way you believe me is kind of depressing...
[19:36] Shiori
    Romantic anecdotes...
[19:45] (Flashback) Shiori
    Since this one's a bear dog
    that looks like Shinozaki-san...
[19:48] (Flashback) Shiori
    Takuma-kun!
[19:50] Shiori
    I can't believe I said that, much less
    that I'm thinking about it now.
[19:55] Shiori
    I'm so embarrassed about
    what I said, in hindsight.
[19:59] Shiori
    Still, it's just a stuffed animal. It has
    nothing to do with the real Shinozaki-san.
[20:06] Shiori
    Wait, didn't I have a...
[20:09] Shiori
    Ta-da!
[20:11] Shiori
    I added a necktie.
[20:13] Shiori
    Pretty good if I say so myself.
[20:16] Shiori
    Why am I making the resemblance even stronger?!
[20:19] Shiori
    I need to calm down.
[20:21] Shiori
    It's just a stuffed animal.
[20:22] Shiori
    Just a stuffed...
[20:32] Shiori
    Stuffed animal! It's just a stuffed animal!
[20:48] Shiori
    Maybe I should rearrange them
    so he's out of sight...
[20:54] Shiori
    Shiori-san's on top of Takuma-kun!
[21:00] Shinozaki
    Shiori-san...
[21:03] Shiori
    Takuma-kun...
[21:09] Shiori
    Shiori-san! You can't!
[21:26] Shiori
    Shiori-san and Takuma-kun.
[21:28] Shiori
    A senpai and a kohai who get along!

    Bleary-eyed and not fully awake from a dream
[21:50] ---
    I still can't bring myself
    to drink that bitter coffee
[21:55] ---
    So I sneakily toss in
    two pinches of a sweet secret
[21:59] ---
    And let it slowly spread throughout
[22:05] ---
    There's a local bakery
    that's only open sometimes
[22:08] ---
    Where I once had some toast that glittered
[22:14] ---
    What is it that makes it so satisfying?
[22:18] ---
    Almost like magic
[22:22] ---
    I find myself thinking about that kind of thing
[22:27] ---
    How the small things can be the most precious
[22:33] ---
    Deep inside my heart
[22:37] ---
    It's ever so bittersweet
[22:43] ---
    "Just being around you is enough"
[22:47] ---
    Becomes my mantra
