[00:21] (Flashback) Kanon
    Wait. I nearly stepped on a frog.
[00:24] (Flashback) Rena
    Frogs are cute.
[00:25] (Flashback) Kanon
    I don't like their hands.
    They're like maple leaves.
[00:28] (Flashback) Rena
    These are good.
[00:30] (Flashback) Kanon
    The new fall flavor is pretty all right.
[00:34] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Senpai, did you know?
[00:35] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    The syrup we eat is supposedly fake.
[00:38] (Flashback) Kanon
    What?
[00:40] (Flashback) Rena
    Doesn't that stuff come
    from trees? Maples, right?
[00:43] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    No. Apparently most of the stuff
    they sell at the supermarket is fake.
[00:47] (Flashback) Kanon
    Huh.
[00:49] (Flashback) Rena
    It's kind of sad that you can't be fooled
    because you've had the real thing.
[00:56] (Flashback) Kanon
    Yeah, Yuki's family is rich.
    They've had the real stuff.
[00:59] (Flashback) Kanon
    I bet you guys eat caviar
    and steak all the time.
[01:02] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    We don't.
[01:03] (Flashback) Kanon
    You take tons of classes, too, right?
[01:05] (Flashback) Kanon
    Like dance and voice training.
[01:08] (Flashback) Rena
    Sounds rough. Plus, you
    run track on top of that.
[01:12] (Flashback) Kanon
    Lucky. I bet you get to meet boys
    from other schools when you take lessons.
[01:16] (Flashback) Rena
    Seriously?
[01:18] (Flashback) Kanon
    Not only that, but your dad
    lives in Tokyo, right?
[01:20] (Flashback) Kanon
    You're winning at life.
[01:22] (Flashback) Kanon
    You can sleep over all you want, too.
[01:24] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    My mom's too strict for that.
[01:27] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Besides, I hardly ever see my dad.
[01:31] (Flashback) Rena
    Let's all go to Tokyo together sometime.
[01:33] (Flashback) Kanon
    That sounds nice.
[01:34] (Flashback) Rena
    We can go look for real maple syrup,
    get fancy ice cream,
[01:38] (Flashback) Rena
    and eat pancakes at a cafe.
[01:40] (Flashback) Kanon
    Sounds nice.
[01:40] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    In that case...
[01:44] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Let's go once Rena-san sets
    a new personal record.
[01:47] (Flashback) Kanon
    You're so disciplined, Yuki.
[01:49] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    It'll be a reward.
[01:51] (Flashback) Rena
    How can I learn to jump like you?
[01:55] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    It's easy. Boing!
[01:58] (Flashback) Kanon
    Like a frog?
[02:01] (Flashback) Kanon
    Hey, quit it! I nearly
    stepped on one earlier!
[02:06] Kanon
    Yeah. Just wait. I'll contact you.
[02:10] Kanon
    I'm really sorry about today. Bye!
[02:13] Rena
    Sorry. I know you're busy.
[02:15] Kanon
    It's fine.
[02:16] Rena
    Was that your boyfriend?
[02:16] Kanon
    No, a customer.
[02:18] Kanon
    He's a big spender, but he
    doesn't know when to shut up.
[02:21] Kanon
    He's probably trying
    to entertain me, but still.
[02:24] Kanon
    I always feel like it would've been better
    if he'd kept his mouth shut, y'know?
[02:27] Kanon
    Just now, he said he'd blow up
    my phone if I didn't respond.
[02:29] Rena
    I'm glad you haven't changed, Kanon.
[02:31] Kanon
    I know it's my job,
    but it's a pain in the butt.
[02:34] Kanon
    So, what'd you want to discuss?
[02:36] Rena
    Remember Mitsuya Yuki from
    our high school track team?
[02:40] Kanon
    Oh, yeah. Mitsuya Yuki. Is that right?
[02:44] Rena
    What?
[02:46] Kanon
    Oh, that Yuki!
[02:48] Rena
    Yeah. I can't believe you forgot.
[02:50] Kanon
    I didn't forget!
[02:52] Kanon
    I've just been busy with my own
     stuff since coming to Tokyo.
[02:56] Kanon
    I don't have time to worry about people
    who aren't a threat to my existence.

[03:22] Wadagaki
    We're never going to
    be popular, Ichimura-san.
[03:25] Wadagaki
    As long as we're wearing masks,
    we won't get fans like Nikaido-san.
[03:29] Ichimura
    I wouldn't get fans
    even if I removed mine.
[03:32] Wadagaki
    You desperately need more
    self-esteem, Ichimura-san.
[03:35] Ichimura
    I used to perform unmasked,
    and this is where I ended up.
[03:39] Ichimura
    If anything, it'd be crazy
    if I had any self-esteem.
[03:43] Rena
    Wow. I've never experienced
    anything like this.
[03:45] Kanon
    It's not that different
    from the nightlife business.
[03:49] Rena
    Can we go talk to them?
[03:54] Ichimura
    Can I help you?
[03:55] Kanon
    Um, we're huge fans of Mystery Kiss.
[03:59] Rena
    Yes, that's right.
[04:01] Ichimura
    Really?
[04:02] Kanon
    Oh, yes.
[04:02] Ichimura
    I'm so glad. We don't
    have many female fans.
[04:06] Wadagaki
    They say people who make it
    are loved by men and women alike.
[04:08] Ichimura
    Yeah.
[04:09] Rena
    Um, Mitsuya-san?
[04:11] Wadagaki
    Yes?
[04:15] Rena
    You're my favorite, Mitsuya-san.
[04:17] Ichimura
    Seriously?
[04:18] Rena
    Yes. I love you.
[04:20] Wadagaki
    Really? Thanks!
[04:22] Wadagaki
    What do you like about me?
[04:24] Rena
    Your dancing, of course, but you've
    got this brilliant aura about you.
[04:33] Wadagaki
    No one's ever told me that before.
[04:35] Ichimura
    She can sense all that when
    you're wearing a mask? Crazy.
[04:38] Wadagaki
    Right?
[04:39] Kanon
    But don't you think I'd be
    more popular than those two?
[04:42] Ichimura
    What?
[04:42] Kanon
    Mystery.
[04:43] Rena
    Mystery.
[04:45] Rena
    Oh, Mitsuya-san.
[04:46] Wadagaki
    Yes?
[04:48] Rena
    You don't remember me?
[04:51] Wadagaki
    I'm sorry. Have we met?
[04:52] Yamamoto
    I'm sorry, but today's event
    is ending soon.
[04:57] Rena
    Oh, okay.
[04:58] Kanon
    Let's go, Rena. I hope
    we meet again someday. Bye!
[05:02] Both
    We'll be waiting.
[05:05] Yamamoto
    Thank you.
[05:06] Both
    Thank you.
[05:11] Kanon
    Even girls like them can become idols, huh?
[05:13] Kanon
    Didn't seem like they're
    very popular, though.
[05:16] Rena
    Apparently they get a fair bit of attention.
[05:19] Kanon
    So, what was up with that Mitsuya Yuki?
    Was she an impostor?
[05:22] Rena
    Or a stranger with the same name.
[05:24] Kanon
    With the same age and name?
[05:27] Rena
    Yeah.
[05:28] Kanon
    Huh. I think it's just a stage name.
[05:33] Kanon
    She'd tell more people about it
    if she became an idol.
[05:37] Kanon
    Besides, she never seemed like
    the type to go into the business.
[05:45] Rena
    Thanks, Kanon. I appreciate it.
[05:47] Kanon
    It's fine. The only thing more important to me
    than work is a request from you, Rena.
[05:52] Kanon
    You should just work at my place.
    You'd make good money.
[05:57] Rena
    Bye.
[05:58] Kanon
    Sorry. Thanks for waiting.
[06:00] Otani
    Thank you.
[06:00] Ibusuki
    Thank you.
[06:03] Rena
    Why didn't you tell me?
[06:05] Ibusuki
    Because I knew this would happen.
[06:09] Ibusuki
    I never imagined she was
    your junior from high school.
[06:14] Ibusuki
    Either way, all the more reason
    for you to stay out of this.
[06:20] Rena
    Why won't you let me work an important
     case after all the work I've done?
[06:25] Sato
    C'mon, you two. Cut it out.
[06:27] Rena
    I'm not doing this job to look
    after that hopeless newbie.
[06:36] Otani
    See you later.
[06:37] Ibusuki
    See you.
[06:40] Rena
    Have you kept up your
     investigation of Odokawa?
[06:42] Sato
    Yes.
[06:45] Sato
    I tried questioning his neighbors, but
    no one would talk to me. I got nothing.
[06:49] Sato
    Plus, most of these homes
    are empty. Nobody lives there.
[06:54] Rena
    I guess you're right.
[06:57] Sato
    Besides that, he hasn't done anything
    unusual. He's back to his ordinary life.
[07:03] Sato
    He mostly operates along set routes.
[07:06] Sato
    Oh, right.
[07:09] Sato
    He follows these trend-chasing
    routes through downtown areas
[07:13] Sato
    and in front of TV stations.
[07:18] Sato
    Oh, right. Rena-san, how was your junior?
[07:21] Rena
    It was someone else.
[07:23] Sato
    Well, yeah. If the missing person were
    a famous idol, it'd be a bigger story.
[07:30] Sato
    But you were so pissy with
     the boss. You scared me.
[07:39] Sato
    Did you get confused
    because she's wearing a mask?
SIGN    Mitsuya Yuki
[07:46] Sato
    Anyway, masked idols sure is a novel concept.
[07:52] Sato
    Oh, she's cute.
[07:53] Sato
    This center girl's cute.
[07:56] Sato
    Let's see. Nikaido Rui, huh?
[08:00] Sato
    Oh, shit. I get why those nerds
    obsess over them. She's really cute.
[08:05] Rena
    Don't forget, someone's gone missing.
[08:07] Sato
    Wait, wait, wait.
[08:08] Sato
    You're cute, too, Rena-san.
[08:11] Rena
    What?
[08:12] Sato
    No, that's not right. That was rude of me.
[08:16] Sato
    How should I put it?
[08:22] Sato
    You're in no way inferior to them.
[08:30] Sato
    What is it?
[08:33] Sato
    What? No, wait. Personally,
    you're exactly my...
[08:40] Sato
    Where are you going?
[08:42] Rena
    To gather information.
    You're coming with me.
[08:45] Sato
    I am?
[08:46] Rena
    Yes, on Odokawa.
[08:48] Sato
    Oh, right! Odokawa. Right.
[08:50] Otani
    See you later.
[08:51] Sato
    We'll be back!
[08:52] Rena
    Also, could you stop sexually harassing me?
[08:53] Sato
    Yes?
[08:55] Sato
    Ow! Not the jewels!
[08:59] Driver A
    Yeah, I remember him.
[09:02] Driver A
    We used to note down passengers'
    traits. I saw his notes once.
[09:08] Driver A
    There was some kind of shareholder meeting,
    and we had to handle a ton of passengers.
[09:13] Driver A
    His report that day just said
    monkey, monkey, monkey.
[09:16] Sato
    Monkey?
[09:17] Driver A
    Might've been a gibbon in there, too.
[09:18] Sato
    A gibbon?
[09:19] Driver A
    I know humans and monkeys are similar,
    but it gave me the creeps.
[09:23] Sato
    It is creepy. Maybe he was
     under a lot of stress?
[09:27] Driver A
    More like he's always been odd.
[09:29] Driver A
    He can't recognize people's faces
    or something. He's crazy.
[09:32] Rena
    But he did his job properly?
[09:34] Driver A
    I guess. Rumor is he's done
    a lot of gray work.
[09:39] Sato
    What kind of work?
[09:41] Driver A
    Y'know, gray work. Don't tell anyone I told you.
[09:50] Sato
    Her?
[09:51] Rena
    Yeah.
[09:52] Sato
    Excuse me. May we speak with you?
[09:56] Woman
    I'm not selling. Shoo, shoo!
[10:01] Woman
    I don't know what's going on these days.
[10:03] Woman
    Weird people have been hanging around.
[10:06] Rena
    Around where?
[10:08] Woman
    There, in that building. The blue one.
[10:11] Woman
    Harada Building 3, I think.
[10:18] Sato
    Excuse me.
[10:19] Rena
    Wait, wait, wait.
[10:20] Sato
    It's okay.
[10:22] Sato
    We have a few questions.
    Could we have a moment of your time?
[10:25] Rena
    We're researching neighborhood
    connections at the college.
[10:29] Rena
    We're asking people for their stories
    and about the local history.
[10:49] Homeless
    You're that guy Dobu beat up.
[10:53] Sato
    Dobu? You saw that?
[10:55] Sato
    Then why didn't you help me?
[10:57] Homeless
    You should stay away from them.
[10:59] Homeless
    So, what'd you want to know?
[11:02] Rena
    We heard there's a strange
    taxi driver who lives in the area.
[11:06] Homeless
    Oh, him? Come to think of it,
    the other day...
[11:12] Homeless
    If you want the rest,
    it'll cost you at least a hundred yen.
[11:15] Sato
    Seriously? You're so greedy.
[11:20] Sato
    Here.
[11:22] Homeless
    The day you were beat up,
[11:24] Homeless
    I saw a girl getting out of that taxi
    driver's car in the middle of the night.
[11:28] Homeless
    She was real pretty. She was
    hiding her face, but I could tell.
[11:33] Homeless
    I've got good eyes.
[11:35] Sato
    Oh. I got a picture of her.
[11:38] Rena
    What? Why didn't you say so?
[11:40] Sato
    I definitely did! You just weren't listening.
[11:44] Sato
    Huh? I'm not sure
    there was a taxi, though.
[11:47] Rena
    Was this her?
[11:58] Homeless
    After that, the girl...
[12:06] Homeless
    She never came out of that building.
[12:10] Rena
    Was there anything else unusual?
[12:13] Homeless
    Normally, nobody goes in or out
    of that building at night.
[12:16] Rena
    Where's the data?
[12:18] Sato
    With Dobu. The pictures are
    on the computer that Dobu guy took.
[12:22] Homeless
    Also, sometimes there's
    a huge car parked out front.
[12:27] Homeless
    Definitely not an honest citizen's car.
[12:35] Rena
    Thank you.
[12:36] Sato
    Thank you.
[12:37] Homeless
    Hey, you.
[12:39] Homeless
    This is one of those things
    that are popular now, right?
[12:42] Homeless
    Some kind of paperweight or yokan.
[12:44] Homeless
    There's gold in these, right?
    Do they sell for a lot?
[12:46] Sato
    Ugh, where did you find that?
[12:47] Rena
    Wait, where did you find that?
[12:55] Rena
    We're with Ibusuki.
    We'd like you to restore some data.
[12:59] Sekido
    Leave it in that drawer.
[13:01] Sekido
    Depending on the contents,
    it could cost you.
[13:07] Sato
    Taeko-san, you've got a keen nose.
[13:10] Sato
    This taxi driver might be holding
    a high school girl captive.
[13:14] Rena
    Taeko-san, what do you think?
[13:16] Rena
    Would Odokawa-san do something like that?
[13:18] Taeko
    This isn't what I had in mind
    when I asked you to investigate him.
[13:21] Sato
    Neither did we when we took the job.
[13:24] Rena
    We haven't found conclusive evidence yet.
[13:29] Rena
    But he's been in touch with a police officer.
[13:32] Rena
    It's possible Odokawa-san
    is caught up in the case somehow.
[13:38] Rena
    Is there anything else you know?
[13:41] Taeko
    He said he doesn't wash clothes
    that don't directly touch his skin.
[13:45] Rena
    In any case, we know Odokawa-san
    is an eccentric man.
[13:49] Rena
    We'll put together a report on that,
    so give us some more time.
[13:57] Rena
    Also, Taeko-san, I've been wondering.
[14:02] Rena
    Odokawa-san's taxi may have been
    parked outside a certain building
[14:05] Rena
    the day the girl went missing.
[14:07] Rena
    Harada Building 3.
[14:09] Taeko
    Oh, my.
[14:11] Rena
    Does that ring any bells?
[14:14] Taeko
    It's been about 15 years.
[14:18] Taeko
    A few major businesses tried to redevelop
    the neighborhood. The fighting was intense.
[14:24] Taeko
    The land sharks came to my place, too.
[14:34] Taeko
    One of their subsidiary fronts moved in.
[14:37] Taeko
    They ended up taking
    over the whole building.
[14:44] Sato
    So this is Harada Building 3.
SIGN    Harada Building 3
[14:47] Sato
    A cram school, an English school,
    a dance school, a yoga studio,
[14:50] Sato
    and even a capoeira school. What a mess.
[14:53] Sato
    Does this place have anything
    to do with Odokawa?
[14:55] Rena
    What kind of high school girl
    takes a taxi to cram school?
[14:58] Sato
    You're right.
[15:00] Rena
    What's Gray Dog?
SIGN    Gray Dog, Inc.
[15:02] Sato
    It's a talent agency.
[15:05] Rena
    A talent agency?
[15:14] Odokawa
    What do you want? I told you,
    I won't work for you.
[15:19] Dobu
    Odokawa-kun, let's go for a drive.
[15:23] Odokawa
    Sure thing. You'll pay
    your fare, won't you?
[15:33] Yano
    Good to see you again, Dobu-san.
[15:37] Dobu
    Yano. I see you've still got
    a crowd of groupies.
[15:42] Dobu
    How am I supposed to get in?
[15:44] Yano
    Unlike someone I know,
    my popularity has grown.
[15:50] Dobu
    The only thing that's grown to make up for
    your lack of substance is your shamelessness.
[15:54] Kuroda
    Hey, you two! Cut it out.
[15:59] Kuroda
    So, what happened with Odokawa?
[16:04] Dobu
    I paid him a visit, but I'm
    not satisfied with the results.
[16:09] Kuroda
    No leads?
[16:11] Dobu
    I even reached out to
    the police, but nothing yet.
[16:16] Dobu
    More importantly, isn't the bigger problem
    that Yano might be involved?
[16:24] Kuroda
    How long has it been?
[16:29] Dobu
    About 20 minutes.
[16:35] Kuroda
    Since you got out of prison.
[16:38] Dobu
    The tenth anniversary of my uncle's death
    was the other day, so five or six years.
[16:43] Kuroda
    Don't you think it's time you got
    used to the way the world is now?
[16:51] Kuroda
    We don't use this anymore.
[16:54] Kuroda
    We use this now.
[16:57] Dobu
    I'm not changing my ways.
[16:59] Kuroda
    You're too old.
[17:03] Kuroda
    You can't be a lone wolf forever.
[17:07] Kuroda
    My underlings are at your disposal, you know.
[17:10] Dobu
    Forget about me, boss. How's your health?
[17:17] Kuroda
    I'm doing better.
    Maybe it's thanks to the sauna.
[17:23] Kuroda
    I'm scared of change, which is why I'm
    thinking of leaving things up to you boys.
[17:34] Kabasawa
    I have an announcement to make.
[17:36] Kabasawa
    I, Taichi Kabasawa, will capture
    Dobu by the end of the year!
[17:40] Kabasawa
    For those of you who don't know who Dobu is,
[17:42] Kabasawa
    I'm not sure if he's a thug or yakuza member,
    but the police are after him.
[17:48] Kabasawa
    As a matter of fact, I know people
    who were beaten half to death by Dobu.
[17:53] Kabasawa
    I'll put off finding a job
    and my schoolwork to catch him!

[17:55] Kabasawa
    What will I do once I catch him?
[17:56] Kabasawa
    He'll apologize. I'll make him apologize.
[17:57] Sato
    Apologize?
[17:59] Kabasawa
    I'll upload a video of him
    on his knees. I'll rehabilitate him.

[18:01] Sato
    Nice.
[18:01] Kabasawa
    If the law can't punish him, then I will!
[18:04] Sato
    Yeah!
[18:05] Kabasawa
    No, we will. Including you,
    person watching this video.

[18:07] Kabasawa
    Together, we'll catch Dobu!
[18:07] Rena
    How did this boring crap go viral?
[18:09] Kabasawa
    I'm Meisei University
    student Taichi Kabasawa!

[18:10] Sato
    What? Don't you think it's amazing?
[18:11] Sato
    He said he'd catch Dobu.
[18:12] Kabasawa
    I won't run. I won't hide.
    I'll stand in the line of fire.

[18:14] Rena
    He's probably never paid
    for his mistakes before.
[18:14] Kabasawa
    So I'm accepting any
    and all information. Help me.

[18:16] Otani
    See you later.
[18:17] Kabasawa
    Crimes must be punished.
    Together we shall defeat evil!

[18:17] Rena
    Is this Dobu-san really that famous?
[18:18] Client
    Thank you.
[18:20] Kabasawa
    Justice will win!
[18:21] Sato
    Apparently he's committed
    every evil act under the sun.
[18:26] Otani
    Thank you very much.
[18:27] Sato
    I had no idea someone so dangerous
    picked a fight with me.
[18:31] Rena
    Should you be bragging about that?
[18:34] Rena
    What was a big shot like him doing
    wandering around there, anyway?
[18:37] Sato
    You mean Dobu?
[18:39] Rena
    Yeah. And send me the link
    to Kabasawa's video.
[18:42] Rena
    I'm going to make an appointment.
[18:43] Sato
    What? An appointment?
[18:45] Sato
    I wouldn't meet with someone like him.
[18:46] Ibusuki
    Hey. I heard you guys
    have been visiting Sekido.
[18:52] Ibusuki
    I never approved that.
[18:55] Rena
    Sorry.
[18:56] Sato
    I told you so.
[18:58] Ibusuki
    Finding the high school girl is my job.
[19:01] Ibusuki
    Your job is running a background
    check on that taxi driver.
[19:05] Ibusuki
    Private eyes don't find fault
    with or judge people.
[19:10] Ibusuki
    There's no need for us
    to put ourselves in danger.
[19:16] Sato
    Danger? What do you mean, danger?
[19:17] Rena
    What happened to Mitsuya-san—
    to Yuki after that?
[19:23] Ibusuki
    They canceled the investigation.
    Apparently, they heard from her.
[19:28] Ibusuki
    So I want you to leave this
    Mitsuya Yuki business alone. Got it?
[19:34] Sato
    Ow! That totally opened my cut.
[19:39] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Is that thing your favorite?
[19:41] (Flashback) Rena
    Huh?
[19:42] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    You're always touching it.
[19:44] (Flashback) Rena
    Do I? I never noticed.
[19:47] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    It's cute.
[19:49] (Flashback) Rena
    No way.
[19:50] (Flashback) Kanon
    That's the first time
    anyone's called it cute.
[19:53] (Flashback) Rena
    I put something ugly on it
    so no one would steal it.
[19:57] (Flashback) Rena
    But maybe I've grown attached to it.
[19:59] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Then could I have that keychain
    when you graduate?
[20:07] (Flashback) Rena
    But you've already got everything, Yuki.
[20:14] Kumiko
    What else was I supposed to do?
[20:16] Donraku
    But why'd you end the investigation?
[20:19] Kumiko
    Because he said he heard from her.
[20:23] Donraku
    We can't trust anything that manager says.
[20:26] Donraku
    She would've told us
    if she wanted to move out.
[20:30] Kumiko
    Maybe she heard about your past.
[20:36] Donraku
    You really think so?
[20:39] Donraku
    At least once, every man should go home
    and earnestly face his wife and kids.
[20:45] Donraku
    It's not like he brings home the bacon.
[20:50] Rena
    Feet.
[20:51] Sato
    Hey.
[20:58] Sato
    Hey, wait! You need to be careful with that.
[21:01] Rena
    That thing? What is that?
[21:02] Sato
    Yeah.
[21:03] Rena
    What is that creepy thing
    that emits uniquely evil vibes?
[21:08] Sato
    How could you?
[21:10] Sato
    You're the one who bought that weird
    keychain from a homeless person.
[21:13] Rena
    What? Are you saying that's not weird?
[21:18] Sato
    It's my lucky treasure boat eraser.
[21:22] Sato
    My dad bought it for me in grade school
    when he went to China.
[21:26] Rena
    Sounds fishy to me.
[21:28] Sato
    Rare things started coming my way
    since I acquired it.
[21:33] Rena
    Like what?
[21:34] Sato
    Like a La Sagrada Familia eraser
    and a Leaning Tower of Pisa eraser.
[21:37] Rena
    Just erasers?
[21:39] Sato
    At the time, collecting erasers
    was all the rage.
[21:44] Sato
    We were really competitive about it.
[21:46] Sato
    I looked for an eraser rarer
    than my friend's dodo eraser.
[21:49] Otani
    What was it?
[21:51] Sato
    The world's only Donraku eraser.
[21:53] Otani
    Donraku?
[21:54] Sato
    I talked to my dad
    and bid on an online auction.
[21:58] Sato
    We went back and forth for a while,
    until suddenly they bid 100,000 yen.
[22:02] Sato
    That's when I dropped out.
[22:03] Otani
    Kids are bidding 100,000 yen on erasers?
    What's the world coming to?
[22:07] Sato
    Seriously. I'm glad I didn't buy it.
[22:09] Rena
    Wow, you got a 50-50 right for once.
[22:12] Sato
    It's not like I always choose wrong.
[22:14] Rena
    You don't know that.
[22:15] Rena
    There's no way to know at the time
    if you're making the right choice or not.
[22:21] Sato
    True. In that case, every wrong
    choice I've made until now
[22:26] Sato
    could turn into successes by the time I die.
[22:30] Rena
    Optimistic, aren't you?
[22:32] Rena
    Was Donraku that much of a celebrity?
[22:36] Otani
    He was handsome when he was younger.
    Had a wild side, though.
[22:39] Sato
    You're too young to know, huh?
[22:41] Rena
    Yup.
[22:41] Sato
    I watched his show every week.
[22:43] Otani
    Same.
[22:44] Sato
    I laughed so hard it made my stomach hurt.
[22:46] Sato
    These days it's like a talk show
    with a prominent rakugo storyteller.
[22:50] Sato
    My mom got really mad at me.
[22:52] Sato
    She said, "Why's my ugly idiot
    son watching this low-brow crap?"
[22:57] Otani
    Ugly idiot? You're kidding, right?
[22:59] Rena
    Excuse me, Donraku-san.
SIGN    Next Time
[23:01] Sato
    Turns out he was just an ordinary old man.
[23:03] Kakihara
    Love is...
[23:04] Odakawa
    Did something happen to you?
[23:06] Rena
    We all have high hopes for you,
    Kabasawa-sama.
[23:07] Yamamoto
    What is it, driver?
[23:08] Odokawa
    I feel like I've seen her before.
SIGN    This show is a work of fiction.
[23:12] Odokawa
    And if I say no?
[23:13] Dobu
    I'll kill you.
