[06:32] Sabu     'Cause you always eat 'em without asking! [06:36] Bunzo     Sabu! Hana! Forgive me! [06:39] Bunzo     I was the one who ate Sabu's snack.

[07:02] Bunzo     What? Is that true? [07:03] Sabu     I thought it could be the basis for     new cooking methods or menu ideas. [07:09] Bunzo     Sabu... [07:12] Bunzo     So that's how it was. [07:14] Sabu     So please don't worry about it. [07:20] Hana     Meow! [07:25] Sabu     Um, Hana-san... [07:28] Sabu     I'm sorry. [07:31] Hana     These taste great, boss.

[07:51] Hana     By yourself today?     Where's that cheerful lady? [07:54] Taki     She's joining me later. [07:56] Hana     I'm so happy you two come here often, meow. [08:00] Watai     He's huge. [08:01] Hana     Since you're big,     you'd prefer a table, right? [08:05] Hana     Here you go, meow. [08:09] Hana     Your water. [08:11] Hana     Would you like to wait until     the lady gets here to order? [08:15] Taki     I think she'll be a bit late,     so I'll order now. [08:17] Hana     Hey, mister. I'm glad you two     come to our store a lot, [08:22] Hana     but you two should go to a     fancier place if you're on a date. [08:25] Taki     No, um, we're not dating or anything... [08:31] Hana     Oh? Is that so? [08:38] Hana     Then, will you be ordering the special     as usual? How many bowls today? [08:42] Taki     No, I'd like the light broth ramen today. [08:46] Hana     What? Oh, really? [08:48] Hana     I mean, that's fine and all... [08:50] Taki     I've, uh... [08:53] Taki     I've got a match coming up,     so I need to show some restraint. [08:57] Hana     A match? [08:59] Taki     After today, I'll also have      to cut back on ramen. [09:02] Taki     I do martial arts, and this match is— [09:05] Hana     For real? That's so cool! [09:08] Taki     Um, so... [09:11] Taki     I want to discuss something with you. [09:13] Hana     Huh? Discuss something? [09:15] Taki     That is, if you have the time. [09:20] Hana     Sabu-chan! One light broth! [09:22] Sabu     Meow! [09:23] Hana     So what about? Are you     having romance trouble? [09:29] Hana     Would a kitty like me even relate? [09:32] Taki     No, uh... [09:35] Taki     You see... [09:36] Taki     I haven't won a single match. [09:40] Taki     I've been told that I'm weak-minded     and that I lack fighting spirit. [09:44] Hana     Huh. Well, you do seem      like a gentle giant, mister. [09:49] Taki     That's why, um... [09:53] Taki     I want Tiger-san to teach me! [09:57] Taki     About fighting spirit     and how to be intimidating. [10:00] Taki     Like, um, mental preparation! [10:04] Hana     Our tiger's a timid girl, though. [10:09] Taki     What? [10:12] Hana     But I can ask for you. [10:18] Taki     A girl? I see. [10:22] Hana     What do you say? You don't have to, though. [10:26] Hana     But if you want to, that's fine, too. [10:29] Krishna     Okay. I'll do it. [10:31] Krishna     He's a regular who always orders the special. [10:38] Krishna     Excuse me. [10:41] Krishna     You said you want me to train you, but... [10:44] Krishna     I'm just holding back all of my anxieties. [10:47] Hana     Yup. [10:49] Sasaki     One Akaneko light broth. [10:52] Sasaki     Uh, what's going on? [10:54] Sasaki     And with Krishna-chan, too. [10:56] Hana     This man's a martial artist      but since he has such a gentle personality, [11:00] Hana     he wanted to learn about     fighting spirit from Krishna. [11:03] Sasaki     A martial artist, huh? [11:05] Sasaki     Here's your light broth ramen. [11:09] Sasaki     Fighting spirit, huh? But rather than that... [11:13] Sasaki     Intimidation is used to avoid fights. [11:16] Hana     Yup. [11:17] Krishna     You're right. [11:19] Sasaki     When you're scared and want to     avoid a fight, you try to intimidate. [11:23] Sasaki     It's not about having     confidence in your strength. [11:27] Taki     So when you have to     confront rowdy customers... [11:31] Krishna     It's super scary. [11:33] Krishna     I'm almost in tears every time. [11:35] Krishna     But it's all to protect the shop, you see. [11:39] Krishna     So even if I'm scared, I can't back down. [11:47] Hana     Yup. Since you're so kind, mister, [11:51] Hana     maybe you'd fight better if it was      for something other than yourself? [11:54] Sasaki     That might work. [11:57] Hana     Isn't there anything you want to protect? [12:01] Taki     Something to protect? [12:05] Sabu     Welcome! [12:11] Sakura     Sorry for showing up super last minute! [12:13] Sakura     Are you still taking orders? [12:16] Bunzo     Yeah, you're all good. [12:17] Sakura     Thank goodness. [12:20] Sakura     Then, I'll have a veggie ramen. [12:23] Bunzo; Sabu     Meow! [12:25] Sakura     W-Wow. What's going on here? [12:28] Sasaki     Welcome. [12:30] Sakura     Why are you all gathered over here, kitties? [12:32] Hana     Welcome. [12:34] Taki     Sakura-san. [12:36] Sakura     Sorry, Taki-kun.     Work took longer than I hoped. [12:40] Taki     No, it's all right. [12:43] Sakura     Huh? Is that the light broth ramen?     That's a rare choice for you. [12:47] Hana     So he does have something     he wants to protect. [12:49] Sasaki     No doubt about it. [12:51] Sakura     Hm? What are you talking about? [12:53] Hana     Why don't you tell her     if you win your next match? [12:56] Sakura     What's this? A match? Huh? What? [13:01] Hana     You haven't told her? [13:04] Sign     Ramen Akaneko [13:07] Sakura     A martial artist? For real? [13:10] Sabu     Veggie ramen, order up. [13:13] Taki     Will you come watch my match? [13:16] Sakura     Sure! I'll totally come!     I'll be rooting for you! [13:24] Sign     It's Not Really a Secret [13:39] Tamako     Good morning. [13:42] Hana     Morning. Is it raining already? [13:44] Tamako     Yeah. It's only drizzling, though. [13:47] Tamako     Looks like it'll rain properly later. [13:53] Sasaki     Morning, Yashiro-san. [13:55] Tamako     Good morning. [14:04] Tamako     You look really busy, Sasaki-san. [14:07] Sasaki     The admin work has piled up. [14:09] Tamako     I see. [14:10] Sasaki     The shop's been so busy lately,     plus I have other plans today. [14:15] Tamako     Is that so? [14:17] Sasaki     Ah! Hey, Yashiro-san. [14:20] Tamako     Huh? [14:20] Sasaki     Are you able to input data? [14:23] Tamako     Oh, yes. I can do a bit of accounting. [14:27] Tamako     I did all sorts at my last job. [14:29] Sasaki     Really? [14:30] Sasaki     All right. [14:32] Sasaki     Krishna-chan! [14:35] Sasaki     Can I borrow Yashiro-san today? Will you     be able to make the noodles without her? [14:40] Krishna     That's fine. I should be all right. [14:43] Sasaki     Okay. [14:45] Sasaki     Then, Yashiro-san... [14:47] Tamako     Yes? [14:48] Sasaki     Once you've brushed everyone,     could I ask you to help me with some work? [14:52] Tamako     Sure. I'll go start on the brushing. [15:00] Tamako     Krishna-san, your brushing. [15:03] Krishna     Coming. [15:21] Tamako     Sasaki-san, you're the only one left to brush. [15:28] Sasaki     Sorry. [15:30] Sasaki     Can I get brushed during the lunch break? [15:33] Tamako     Oh, sure. [15:34] Tamako     Then, should I start on that admin work? [15:37] Sasaki     Yup. Here. [15:40] Sasaki     I'd like you to enter the dates     and amounts from these. [15:44] Sasaki     This is the management software I use. [15:46] Sasaki     Each subject is divided into boxes. [15:49] Sasaki     So just select the subject,     input the information and numbers... [15:53] Sasaki     You can use the last file as reference. [15:55] Sasaki     So? Think you can do it? [15:59] Tamako     Yes, I think so. [16:01] Sasaki     What a relief. [16:03] Sasaki     Then, I'll leave it to you.     Just do what you can. [16:08] Sasaki     I've got lots to do, like going to the     chamber of commerce, the bank, and so on. [16:15] Sasaki     I should be back by the evening shift.     Thanks for taking over.

[20:32] Tamako     Do you read mystery books, Krishna-san? [20:36] Krishna     Occasionally. I use them      to practice my reading. [20:39] Krishna     But for long novels, it's better to listen     to audio books or commentaries. [20:45] Krishna     It's difficult reading all those words. [20:47] Tamako     I see. [20:51] Bunzo     That pack of bonito snacks I found wedged     at the back of the closet was pretty good. [20:57] Bunzo     Maybe Sabu bought them.     I'll ask him when he wakes up. [21:01] Sasaki     Sabu's saying the pack of bonito snacks     he was hiding has gone missing. [21:05] Bunzo     Bonito? Oh! [21:08] Sasaki     Bunzo-kun, don't tell me you... [21:10] Bunzo     I-It was buried, so I thought it was old. [21:14] Bunzo     I got a little hungry while making     the soup stock late last night, you see. [21:18] Bunzo     I'm sorry, Hana. It's my fault and you— [21:21] Hana     Nope! I won't forgive you! I want confit, too! [21:24] Sabu     It was a limited item. [21:27] Hana     It's rare for you to get so mad.     It's because you got it for the boss, isn't it? [21:32] Sabu     When you eat my snacks,     I've normally bought them in bulk.

[21:47] Hana     What? So it's not about romance? Boo. [21:53] Tamako     Looks like she's enjoying this. [21:55] Hana     Krishna, he says he wants to learn     about fighting spirit and intimidation. [22:01] Krishna     Huh? From me? I don't know     anything about those things. [22:04] Krishna     I-I learned about intensity     from watching yakuza films. [22:11] Sasaki     But you know, if you're gonna do it,     you have to be prepared to kill. [22:15] Sasaki     Otherwise, you can't avoid fights     just by intimidation. [22:19] Hana     So you wanted the light broth ramen?      Sorry for assuming.

[22:53] Sign     Touched because she realized     she was called "Tama-chan" [22:57] Sign     Thinks nothing of it [23:02] Sasaki     Since we were adopted together,     I feel like Bunzo-kun also has a cute name, [23:07] Sasaki     but I don't remember it. [23:09] Hana     Please remember it, Sasaki-san!     I really want to know! [23:15] Sabu     I think it's a good name,     since it sounds so delicious. [23:17] Sabu     Delicious!
