**[00:03] Saeka**
Good afternoon.
**[00:05] Saeka**
Everything has its price.
What's your laughter worth?
**[00:07] all three**
We're Celebri-Tea.
**[00:09] Mako**
We'll pay whatever it takes,
so laugh a lot, okay?
**[00:11] Hikari**
You're buying them out from the start?
**[00:14] Hikari**
I mean, that idea is as dark
as black sugar dorayaki.

When you have too much money, sometimes it's
hard to decide what to spend it on.

Yo!

Tough question, for me
**[00:56] [SONG] Yayoi**

What's up? Internet news?
**[02:32] Kana**
It's an article about the Kuidaoren't Doll,

**[02:42] Iroha**
This is one of those clickbait articles.
**[02:44] Iroha**
The writer does zero research
and just makes up fake news.
**[02:48] Chitose**
Well, this news is a little too fake.

No regrets! This was our destiny.
**[03:18] Yuzu**
Stop! Why are you letting the article
brainwash you into fighting!
**[03:22] Yayoi**
Oh, sorry! I got carried away.
**[03:24] Yuzu**
An interview with takoyaki and
okonomiyaki is too over-the-top.
**[03:28] Yomogi**
When news gets this fake,
it basically turns into comedy.
**[03:31] Yuzu**
What kind of person would write this?
**[03:33] Yuzu**

You know, I kind of feel
like it means something.
**[03:45] Mako**
What the...?
**[03:47] Yomogi**
How much would someone
get paid to write that?
**[03:49] Yayoi**
I think it's a few yen per word.
**[03:51] Yomogi**
Paid by the pound, like meat.
**[03:53] Yayoi**
Huh? Mako-chan, what's wrong?
**[03:55] Mako**
Hmm. One sec...
**[03:56] Yomogi**
Is something wrong with your laptop?
**[03:58] Mako**
It froze all of a sudden.
**[04:00] Yuzu**
Let me see it for a sec.
**[04:02] Mako**
You know what you're doing?
**[04:03] Yayoi**
Yuzu was once known as the
master hacker Lord Orange.
**[04:08] Mako**
Really?
**[04:08] Yuzu**
Don't make up stories about me!
**[04:12] Yuzu**
How's that?
**[04:13] Yayoi**
It's fixed!
**[04:14] Mako**
Wow! Thank you!

Ah!
**[04:22] Yuzu**
Oh! If you translate Mako's
family name, Shirakabe, to English...
**[04:24] Yomogi**
...it means White Wall!
**[04:26] Yayoi**
So Mako-chan is...
**[04:27] Mako**
Ugh.
**[04:28] Yuzu**
Why are you writing clickbait articles?
**[04:31] Mako**
I mean, I kind of need to make money.
**[04:34] Yayoi**
Make money?
**[04:35] Yayoi**
But isn't everyone in Celebri-Tea super rich?
**[04:37] Yayoi**
Why would you need money?
**[04:39] Mako**
Well...
**[04:40] Kana**
I burned too many calories
reading that dumb article.
**[04:43] Kana**
Now I'm hungry!
**[04:44] Mone**
Me too.
**[04:45] Mako**
I-I'll tell you in your room. Let's go!
**[04:48] Young Wai-Wai**
Uh, what? Hey, don't push! Ouch! Stop it!
**[04:50] Chitose**
What now?
***SIGN*** Young Wai-Wai
**[04:53] Yayoi; Yomogi; Yuzu**
You're poor?
**[04:54] Mako**
Yeah. I'm actually not rich or famous at all.
**[04:57] Mako**
I've been lying the whole time.
**[04:59] Yuzu**
Now that you mention it, yeah.
**[05:02] Yomogi**
A few things did seem off.
**[05:05] Yayoi**
I still don't think that's a
reason to write stuff like that.
**[05:08] Mako**
I know!
**[05:09] Mako**
But I really need to scrape up
money, and I only have a week.
**[05:14] Yomogi**
One week? There's no way!
**[05:15] Yuzu**
Why would you need to do that?
**[05:17] Mako**
Jovijouva Mokkosu is in Japan, right?
**[05:20] Mako**
His party is in a week,
**[05:22] Mako**
and Saeka's company is one of the
movie's sponsors, so we got invited—
**[05:27] Mako**
all of us in Celebri-Tea.
**[05:29] Yayoi**
Wow, that's so cool!
**[05:31] Mako**
No, it isn't!
**[05:32] Mako**
The party will be full of celebrities,
so I need a good dress to wear.
**[05:36] Mako**
But I don't have anything like that!
**[05:39] Yuzu**
So that's what the money's for.
**[05:40] Mako**
If I don't have a dress, Saeka and Hikari
will find out that I'm not actually rich.
**[05:46] Mako**
If that happens, I...
**[05:48] Yomogi**
I don't know much about it, but don't
celebrities' dresses cost like six figures?
**[05:52] Yomogi**
You can't earn that in a week.
**[05:54] Yuzu**
That leaves us only one choice.
**[05:56] Yayoi**
What?
**[05:57] Yuzu**
Cryptocurrency.
**[05:59] Yomogi**
That stuff is super dangerous for
amateurs to get mixed up in!
**[06:03] Mako**
Cryptocurrency...
**[06:11] Mako**
That takes care of the account.
**[06:13] Mako**
But I still don't understand
it at all. What should I do?

but we still don't have any good ideas.
**[06:50] Yayoi**
Mako-chan?
**[06:51] Yomogi**
What's wrong?
**[06:52] Mako**
The c-crypto is...
**[06:53] Yuzu**
Oh no, did you do it?
**[06:55] Yomogi**
I told you to stay away
from gambling like that!
**[06:58] Mako**
I f... I f...
**[07:00] Mako**
I frickin' scored!
**[07:02] Young Wai-Wai**
Huh?!
**[07:04] Mako**
I bought some randomly, and in the morning,
they were almost worth triple.
**[07:09] Mako**
So I kept using the same method,
**[07:12] Mako**
and made tons of money!
**[07:13] Yayoi**
How much do you have now?
**[07:15] Mako**
This much.

I had no idea you had this kind of talent.
**[07:24] Yayoi**
Nice work! Now you can
buy any dress you want!
**[07:28] Mako**
No, not yet.
**[07:29] Mako**
I've made so much already,
it would be a waste to stop now.
**[07:34] Mako**
If I keep gambling and making more and more,
maybe I can become rich and famous for real!
**[07:38] Mako**
Just like Saeka and Hikari.
**[07:40] Yuzu**
I know how you feel,
but what about the risk?
**[07:43] Yuzu**
If you mess up, you could lose it all.
**[07:47] Mako**
Obviously, I'm not going to
bet everything on crypto.
**[07:51] Mako**
I also started a blog.

If Mako-chan holds a seminar,
I definitely want to participate!!!!
**[08:54] Yuzu**
It says, "If Mako-chan holds a seminar,
I definitely want to participate."
**[08:58] Mako**
That's it!
**[08:59] Yuzu**
You're going to hold a seminar?
**[09:01] Mako**
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
**[09:02] Mako**
There's only one of me,
**[09:04] Mako**
and there's a limit to how many
people can attend a seminar.
**[09:06] Mako**
It'd be inefficient.
**[09:08] Mako**
There's an easier way.
**[09:10] Mako**
Yeah, I'll do an online salon!
**[09:12] Yayoi**
Online salon?
**[09:14] Mako**
The organizer gets people together
online to share information
**[09:17] Mako**
and hold different kinds of
events. It's like a club.
**[09:21] Yomogi**
I still don't get it.
**[09:22] Yomogi**
It sounds like you're trying to bottle
and sell tap water. It's kind of scary.
**[09:25] Yayoi**
You should try it too, Yomogi!
**[09:27] Yayoi**
But do it like you're selling
takoyaki instead of water.
**[09:29] Yomogi**
That would just make me
a traveling salesman.
**[09:32] Yuzu**
But won't it take a lot of work to get
an online salon up and running?

He'll only let me do the Teppen Grand Prix

Normally, Mako would be
gobbling them up by now.

**[10:32] Member**
*for the next step of my business scheme.*
**[10:35] Yayoi**
Hey, what's a "scheme"?
**[10:37] Yomogi**
It's super helpful for cleaning
stuff like a takoyaki grill.
**[10:40] Yomogi**
You just blast it with hot water vapor.
**[10:42] Yuzu**
Eh-heh, isn't that steam?
**[10:43] Mako**
Basically, I think the important
thing is commitment.
**[10:47] Mako**
When you adjust for the results,
**[10:49] Mako**
it has the benefit of maximizing your synergy.
**[10:51] Mako**
Brush up your commitment
to make it a prioritization,
**[10:54] Mako**
so you can initiative consensus, and then
**[10:57] Mako**
your rice curry will bring
forth a win-win wiener bomb
**[10:59] Mako**

**[11:01] Yayoi**
M-Mako-chan's speaking a foreign language!
**[11:04] Yomogi**
Speaking only in Japanese could get you
kicked out of the online salon world.
**[11:08] Mako**
Phew!
**[11:09] Yayoi**
Mako-chan, that was amazing!
What did all that stuff mean?
**[11:13] Mako**
I don't have the slightest clue.
**[11:14] Yayoi**
Huh?!
**[11:15] Mako**
I just strung together some words
I found online that looked good.
**[11:19] Yomogi**
But your viewers looked convinced.
**[11:21] Mako**
The important thing is mood, not meaning.
**[11:24] Mako**
That's just how it works.
**[11:25] Yuzu**
That can't really be true.
**[11:27] Mako**
I've already reached 10,000 members,
**[11:30] Mako**
and each membership costs 10,000 yen.
**[11:32] Mako**
So add it all up, and...
**[11:36] Mako**
If I earn this much every month, I'm rich!
**[11:40] Mako**
I'd totally live up to the celeb name!
**[11:43] Mako**
I'll be the definition of rich and famous!
**[11:45] Yayoi**
I can see it! The castle of
gold shining behind you!
**[11:48] Yuzu**
And the yen pressure system
could split the world in half!
**[11:51] Yomogi**
Seriously, what's a yen pressure system?!
**[11:53] Mako**
Heh. But that ain't all.
I'm gonna keep hitting the jackpot!
**[11:58] Yayoi**
Come in.
**[12:00] Saeka**
We wanted to share these with you.
**[12:02] Saeka**
Thank you for always being so kind to Mako.
**[12:04] Mako**
Saeka!
**[12:05] Yayoi**
Wow! Thank you!
**[12:08] Mako**
W-What?
**[12:11] Saeka**
Your brow is furrowed.
**[12:13] Mako**
Huh?
**[12:14] Saeka**
Celebri-Tea should always be
proper and elegant. Right?
**[12:20] Mako**
*My face looks... so trashy right now.*
**[12:23] Yuzu**
Huh?
**[12:25] Yuzu**
One of the salon members has a suggestion.
**[12:28] Yayoi**
He says he wants to sell power pencils that
are infused with Mako-chan's abilities.
**[12:32] Yomogi**
What the heck is a power pencil?
***SIGN*** Eggplant Mang
***SIGN*** I'd even buy one for 10,000 yen!

I'd like to sell Mako-san pencils

Mako-san's powers.
**[12:35] Yuzu**
This guy's saying he'd
pay 10,000 yen for one.
**[12:37] Mako**
Seriously?!
**[12:38] Yuzu**
Oh! Look at all the pre-orders!
**[12:40] Yuzu**
This is going to make you
even richer, Mako-chan!
**[12:43] Mako**
Y-Yeah...
**[12:45] Mako**
* Is this really going to bring me*
* closer to Saeka and Hikari?*
**[12:51] Mako**
*To* those *two?*
**[12:53] Yayoi**
Ah! Another fun suggestion.
An online handshake event!
**[12:56] Yomogi**
Don't the thrills come from
actually shaking hands, though?
**[12:59] Yayoi**
They'll be *virtual* thrills!
**[13:01] Yuzu**
50,000 yen each...
***SIGN*** I'd like to participate.
Sign me up.
Definitely!
Yes, please.
**[13:03] Yuzu**
But so many people are interested!
**[13:05] Yomogi**
Another huge profit...
**[13:07] Yayoi**
Check out this one!
**[13:08] Yayoi**
"Sell the rights to be reincarnated
in a virtual world
**[13:11] Yayoi**
after being virtually run over by
Mako-chan driving a virtual truck."
**[13:14] Yomogi**
There's not a scrap of product there.
**[13:15] Yuzu**
But it's already flooded with requests!
**[13:18] Mako**
*The money... It just keeps coming!*
**[13:21] Mako**
*But the thing I really wanted to be is...*
**[13:24] Yayoi**
Another one! "Get an online
roundhouse kick from Mako-chan..."
**[13:26] Mako**
Enough!
**[13:29] Yayoi**
Mako-chan?
**[13:31] Mako**
I can't do it like this.
**[13:35] Mako**
I first saw them at our high school
entrance ceremony.
**[13:38] Mako**
Saeka and Hikari seemed to be a
different color than everyone else.
**[13:42] Yuzu**
A different color?
**[13:43] Mako**
They weren't like anyone else.
**[13:45] Mako**
It's as if they were colored in
with paints made just for them.
**[13:48] Mako**
That's what it looked like to me.
**[13:51] Mako**
But of course they did.
**[13:52] Mako**
One was the heiress to the
biggest tea company in Japan.
**[13:56] Mako**
The other was the heiress to
a legendary sweets company.
**[13:59] Mako**
They were both born special.
They were so lucky.
**[14:02] Mako**
I knew we came from different worlds,
**[14:05] Mako**
but when I saw how excited they
got talking about comedy,
**[14:09] Mako**
I just had to meet them.
**[14:10] Mako**
You know how unusual it is to
find women seriously into comedy.
**[14:14] Yuzu**
I sure do.
**[14:15] Mako**
I wanted to become friends,
even though I was so different.
**[14:20] Mako**
And before I knew it,
**[14:22] Mako**
I was lying to them and saying
I was the daughter of a CEO, too.
**[14:26] Yayoi**
So the reason you needed
all that money was...
**[14:29] Mako**
If I kept lying, I knew I'd
eventually blow my cover.
**[14:33] Mako**
If I actually became rich and famous, though,
**[14:35] Mako**
I thought the three of us could
become real friends at last.
**[14:41] Mako**
But this isn't the right way.
**[14:43] Mako**
I can't really explain it, but even
if I get rich and famous this way,
**[14:46] Mako**
I still don't think I'd be on their level.
**[14:49] Mako**
So...
**[14:52] Mako**
I'll do it *my* way instead!
**[14:55] Yomogi**
What are you doing now?
**[14:57] Mako**
Real celebrities are people
that everyone looks up to.
**[15:01] Mako**
They're almost dreamlike.
**[15:02] Mako**
If I want to be like that,
**[15:04] Mako**
first I need to give some dreams back
to the people that supported me.

Mako-chan's yen pressure
system dissipated.

I still don't know what the heck that is.
**[15:51] Yayoi**
You're amazing, Mako-chan!
You made people's dreams come true!
**[15:56] Mako**
I used up all of my money
in the process, though.

I finally made it!
**[16:21] Hikari**
Oh, you're late, Mako.
**[16:24] Mako**
Sorry, sorry!
**[16:31] Saeka**
That's a very nice dress.
**[16:34] Mako**
Isn't it?
**[16:36] (Flashback) Yayoi**
Ta-dah!
**[16:38] (Flashback) Mako**
Is this...?
**[16:40] (Flashback) Yayoi**
Don't you think it turned out all right?
**[16:42] (Flashback) Yayoi**
We worked so hard to make it.
**[16:44] (Flashback) Yuzu**
It took a while to find cheap
fabrics that looked expensive.
**[16:48] (Flashback) Yomogi**
Just tell people it's a dress
from an up-and-coming,
**[16:50] (Flashback) Yomogi**
avant-garde young fashion designer,
and you'll be fine.
**[16:54] (Flashback) Yomogi**
Probably.
**[16:55] (Flashback) Mako**
Guys...
**[16:58] (Flashback) Mako**
Wow! Thank you!
**[17:00] (Flashback) Mako**
I'll never call okonomiyaki
a random mess again!
**[17:04] (Flashback) Mako**
And I'll always eat the
octopus in takoyaki, too!
**[17:06] (Flashback) Yayoi**
You really called it that?
**[17:07] (Flashback) Yomogi**
You actually picked it out?
**[17:17] Koseki**
Well, well.
**[17:18] Koseki**
If it isn't Saeka-san,
the Yabukita En tea company heiress.
**[17:22] Koseki**
How have you been?
**[17:23] Saeka**
It's nice to see you again.
**[17:25] Saeka**
This is Koseki-san, from the
film distribution company.
**[17:28] Koseki**
Indeed, I am Koseki.
**[17:29] Koseki**
And is this the Jogasaki
Confectionery heiress?
**[17:32] Koseki**
I've always wanted to meet you!
**[17:35] Hikari**
The pleasure is mine, I'm sure.
**[17:38] Mako**
Huh?
**[17:38] Koseki**
But Saeka-san, you get lovelier by the day.
**[17:42] Koseki**
What do you think about making
your debut as an actress?
**[17:44] Saeka**
Thank you, but I think I'll pass.
**[17:46] Saeka**
I really don't think I'm
cut out to be an actress.
**[17:48] Koseki**
There you go again.
**[17:49] Koseki**
Oh, I have to say hello
to your father as well.
**[17:52] Koseki**
We'll speak again.
**[17:56] Mako**
What about me?
**[17:58] Mako**
Excuse me. I'll take everything!
**[18:01] Chef**
Huh?
**[18:02] Mako**
It's all-you-can-eat, right?
**[18:05] Yayoi**
Hey, stop!
**[18:07] Mako**
Huh? Why are you here?
**[18:08] Yayoi**
Heh heh heh... We snuck in.
**[18:11] Yuzu**
We were worried about you.
**[18:13] Mako**
Aw, you don't need to worry about me.
**[18:15] Yuzu**
If you don't act like you're rich
and famous, it'll raise eyebrows.
**[18:19] Mako**
You're right. This tiny plate
wouldn't fit everything, anyway.
**[18:23] Mako**
But I expected that, so I brought
containers for the food!
**[18:26] Yomogi**
That isn't the point!
**[18:30] Koseki**
Ouch!
**[18:32] Mako**
Oh! I'm sorry!
**[18:38] Koseki**
Don't go dropping your garbage
in my party, you dumb brat!
**[18:41] Koseki**
Hey, make sure that girl
doesn't get back in here.
**[18:44] Young guy**
Yes, sir.
**[18:45] Koseki**
I can't take it.
**[18:48] Koseki**
Being in the same room with a bum
like that makes me want to puke.
**[18:54] Hikari**
It's nice and hot.
**[18:55] Saeka**
Thank you.
**[18:58] Koseki**
And that dress, too. I can only put
up with so much trash at once.
**[19:01] Koseki**
How dare she wear that cheap thing here!
**[19:06] Koseki**
It burns!
**[19:09] Koseki**
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
**[19:12] Saeka**
Please don't fret.
**[19:14] Saeka**
That wasn't cheap.
It was very high-quality tea.
**[19:18] Yayoi**
What? What?
**[19:19] Saeka**
Someone like you, who sees nothing
but money, would never understand
**[19:24] Saeka**
how valuable that dress actually is.
**[19:27] Koseki**
Eh?
**[19:28] Saeka**
Furthermore, no matter who you are, I will
not tolerate someone insulting my friends.
**[19:34] Koseki**
Ah! I'm... Ungh!
**[19:36] Saeka**
Now, please excuse me.
**[19:42] Saeka**
My childhood friend Hikari was the only
person I felt I could be myself with.
**[19:46] Saeka**
My classmates and the other
children gave me a wide berth.
**[19:49] Saeka**
They felt that I came from a different world.
**[19:52] Saeka**
It was as if there was an invisible wall
around me. I was tremendously lonely.
**[19:57] Saeka**
But Mako, with nothing but a love
of comedy, broke down that wall.
**[20:04] Saeka**
I can't tell you what a relief it was.
**[20:07] Yayoi**
You both knew that Mako wasn't
rich and famous, didn't you?
**[20:10] Hikari**
Of course we did.
**[20:12] Hikari**
We knew she was working online
to make money all week, too.
**[20:16] Yomogi**
You did?
**[20:17] Hikari**
Naturally. She wasn't
exactly sneaky about it.
**[20:20] Saeka**
We planned to make it look like
she won a contest or something,
**[20:23] Saeka**
and arrange for her to get a dress that way.
**[20:26] Saeka**
But thanks to you all,
we didn't have to do that.
**[20:30] Yuzu**
Did you have to go that far?
**[20:31] Yuzu**
Why couldn't you just talk
to Mako-chan about it?
**[20:34] Yayoi**
Yeah. Mako-chan is really worried
that she can't be your friend
**[20:37] Yayoi**
unless she's rich like you.
**[20:39] Saeka**
If we told her to simply stay the way she is,
**[20:42] Saeka**
when she's been working so hard to fit in,
**[20:44] Saeka**
wouldn't that be the truly arrogant,
condescending behavior?
**[20:47] Hikari**
It's not as if it'd stop her, anyway.
**[20:50] Saeka**
That's right. It wouldn't stop her.
**[20:52] Mako**
Hey. You were both here the whole time?
**[20:56] Mako**
Ah! This isn't what it looks like!
**[20:58] Mako**
I thought I'd bring some gifts to
all the servants I have at home.
**[21:06] Saeka**
The three of us are already friends.
**[21:12] Saeka**
If I put effort into it, I could
probably buy all of Japan.
**[21:15] Hikari**
No way!
**[21:16] Hikari**
But... I guess I can't rule
it out in your case, Saeka.
**[21:18] Mako**
You mean you haven't bought a country yet?
**[21:21] Mako**
I've already bought, like,
ten countries myself!
**[21:23] Saeka**
Oh, my. But I'm not jealous at all.
**[21:26] Saeka**
I already have the things I wanted most.
**[21:31] Hikari**
What are you even talking about?
Let's drop it already.
**[21:41] Seiji**
Hngh!
**[21:46] Mako**
Prince Shotoku, lend me your powers!
**[21:49] Yuzu**
She got a job transcribing interviews.
**[21:51] Yomogi**
But ten at once? That's crazy!
**[21:53] Yuzu**
I wonder what she's saving up for this time.
**[21:56] Yayoi**
Well, if we need to, we could
always make it for her again!
