**[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.
**[03:00] Customer**
Thank you.

Buy a CD now and receive a Polaroid voucher!
**[03:18] Both**
You still have time!
**[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.
