[00:08] ---
    Sasahata Tanabata Festival
[00:11] ---
    Huh? Doesn't it seem
    more crowded than usual?
[00:14] ---
    I'm told today is the first
    day of a local celebration
[00:16] ---
    called the Sasahata Tanabata Festival.
[00:20] ---
    Well, here we are in Hatagaya,
[00:23] ---
    but the MgRonald's we came
    to see is practically deserted.
[00:27] ---
    This is no place for a proper fray!
[00:29] ---
    We need a bustling restaurant,
    or it'll suck when the mood sours...
[00:34] ---
    Plus if the man we're after has the advantage,
[00:36] ---
    we might end up wrecking
    the work environment...
[00:40] ---
    And the perfect place is
    standing right here! Sentucky!
[00:44] ---
    We'll start with a council of war there!
[00:46] ---
    Rika's totally enjoying this, isn't she...?
[01:01] ---
    Right here, this moment,
    this is our starting point
[01:05] ---
    Let's picture what we might be able to do
[01:11] ---
    Unbelievable things can happen sometimes
[01:16] ---
    More... we can push past this
[01:22] ---
    Everything is born from zero;
    I want to shine, flap my wings hard
[01:33] ---
    And fly to that sky
[01:36] ---
    Come on, let's go, with
    brilliant smiles on our faces!
[01:44] ---
    Let's fly off to an unknown world right now
[01:50] ---
    I decide, I'm the one who chooses my future
[01:54] ---
    Let's follow our dreams
[01:57] ---
    Sure, some days we'll cry
[01:58] ---
    It's a precious wish, don't disappear
[02:04] ---
    I'm going after the future you,
    because I know I'll find you
[02:22] ---
    The Hero Experiences a Fray
[02:25] ---
    First, you'll have to tell me
    all about this "Maou" guy.
[02:30] ---
    That might give us an idea
    for how to settle your battle.
[02:33] ---
    Given he's the Devil and I'm a hero,
    battle is all there's ever going to be.
[02:40] ---
    But who knows how this girl's going
    to dodge Rika's misunderstanding...
[02:44] ---
    An iced coffee for me. How about you two?
[02:47] ---
    I suppose I'll have a
    maple-biscuit-and-iced-tea set.
[02:51] ---
    Milk in the tea, please.
[02:53] ---
    Iced coffee.
[02:54] ---
    I'll pay for all three of us.
[02:57] ---
    Oh, that'll be all.
[02:58] ---
    Thank you, Miss.
[03:00] ---
    May I present you with
    a Grand Opening coupon?
[03:04] ---
    Thanks.
[03:05] ---
    And now I shall lovingly prepare your order.
[03:08] ---
    Surely the food will appreciate
    being eaten by such lovely maidens.
[03:13] ---
    Here's your change, Miss.
[03:15] ---
    R-Right...
[03:19] ---
    Here you go.
[03:22] ---
    It's a crime that I've kept a lady waiting.
[03:26] ---
    Here is your order, Miss.
[03:31] ---
    It's always men like that who turn
    out to suck at the "casual" thing
[03:33] ---
    and just end up a pain in the neck.
[03:35] ---
    His sunglasses and cologne
    are in poor taste, too.
[03:38] ---
    What are you talking about?
[03:39] ---
    Nothing, never mind.
[03:41] ---
    Let's go.
[03:44] ---
    Now, then! My first question is,
    how did things start?
[03:48] ---
    His name is Sadao Maou, right?
    Both of you give it to me straight!
[03:54] ---
    To me, he's my neighbor
    at my new boarding house.
[03:57] ---
    I can say he's a good neighbor.
[03:59] ---
    This girl!
[04:01] ---
    I want you to take down King Satan
    with me, and then return to Ente Isla.
[04:06] ---
    After that, now he's a "good neighbor"?
    She's cool as a cucumber, I'll give her that.
[04:12] ---
    And you, Emi?
[04:13] ---
    Me, I'd happily kill him first chance I got.
[04:16] ---
    Huh, conflicting opinions.
[04:18] ---
    But since you always put up a front, Emi...
[04:20] ---
    Look, Rika, I'm going to be frank:
    there's nothing between Maou and me.
[04:25] ---
    I have totally different reasons for not
    wanting him and Suzuno to be together,
[04:29] ---
    so we are not fighting over him!
[04:32] ---
    This is what I mean about
    you putting up a front.
[04:35] ---
    Why are you so set on me and
    Maou getting together, anyway?!
[04:39] ---
    Just thinking about it is infuriating!
[04:40] ---
    That man is savage and cunning and
    greedy and insensitive and poor and
[04:45] ---
    acts like you owe him for some random
    umbrella and has no common sense!
[04:50] ---
    I cannot let that remark pass, Yusa!
[04:53] ---
    Ashiya?! What are you doing here?
[04:59] ---
    Ashiya's taking a really long time...
[05:03] ---
    You want me to exhaustively consume
    the fried chicken of this "Sentucky"?
[05:07] ---
    Well, it's not really about the eating part...
[05:09] ---
    If you wanted me to
    exhaustively consume the offerings
[05:12] ---
    of the fried-food flash sale at
    the SIFE supermarket by the station
[05:15] ---
    where I can get 100 grams for
    88 yen, that would be one thing.
[05:18] ---
    But Sire, our army does not
    have the financial reserves
[05:21] ---
    to contribute to the sales of
    your present nemesis, SFC!
[05:24] ---
    Would you just listen to me?
[05:27] ---
    We're employing these methods
    because it is a potential nemesis.
[05:29] ---
    To win the battle,
    we must first know our enemy.
[05:32] ---
    You can't tell me that you,
    my top advisor, have forgotten that.
[05:34] ---
    Sire...
[05:36] ---
    I'm not telling you to just eat.
[05:37] ---
    I want you to eat, eat, *eat
    *in an exhaustive investigation
[05:40] ---
    of their strengths,
    weaknesses, and everything else!
[05:43] ---
    This is a necessary expense for my rise to power.
[05:46] ---
    I beg your aid.
[05:49] ---
    If you feel that strongly,
    Sire, I cannot refuse you.
[05:54] ---
    However!
[05:55] ---
    I, Shiro Ashiya, will make my
    thoroughgoing investigation
[05:59] ---
    employing the minimum possible expenditure.
[06:01] ---
    Ashiya!
[06:02] ---
    Sire! Please leave this to me!
[06:04] ---
    Ashiya!
[06:05] ---
    Ridiculous.
[06:05] ---
    Sire!
[06:06] ---
    Ashiya!
[06:07] ---
    I know I said "exhaustive,"
    but he's taking too long!
[06:11] ---
    Mr. Maou?
[06:13] ---
    Oh, Chi, what's up?
[06:15] ---
    I got a bunch of chores done...
[06:18] ---
    Hmm? Oh. Right, let's see...
[06:22] ---
    Everyone's spirits are down...
    Well, I guess that's to be expected.
[06:28] ---
    There's a huge crowd outside thanks
    to the Sasahata Tanabata Festival,
[06:33] ---
    and yet look at this state of affairs--
    the complete opposite of our enemy SFC.
[06:38] ---
    What do I do? I can't just
    keep twiddling my thumbs!
[06:42] ---
    Um, maybe we should stand outside
    and invite people to eat here?
[06:47] ---
    Soliciting customers... It's a possibility,
[06:49] ---
    but it might be better to wait and
    devise countermeasures with Ashiya.
[06:52] ---
    And more importantly,
    the critical delivery isn't here yet,
[06:54] ---
    so how can we get the public's attention?
[06:56] ---
    Should I make a move now?
    But--no, I mustn't act now!
[07:01] ---
    I can't predict this battle at all!
[07:03] ---
    Who knew fighting on the front lines
    of a major fast-food restaurant
[07:06] ---
    was so complex?!
[07:08] ---
    You okay, Maa?
[07:10] ---
    I know you're shift manager,
    but don't shoulder everything yourself.
[07:13] ---
    That's right! I'm commander
    of an army right now!
[07:16] ---
    If I show fear now, unrest
    will spread among my men!
[07:20] ---
    Now is not the time to act!
[07:21] ---
    Right now the tides are with them, that's all.
[07:24] ---
    But the tides are sure to turn!
    We must wait for that moment!
[07:29] ---
    And to prepare for when it comes...
[07:33] ---
    Polish the windows!
[07:35] ---
    Roger!
[07:37] ---
    All that thought and that's your conclusion?!
[07:37] ---
    Please... come quick!
[07:40] ---
    What are you doing here?
    Or actually, where were you hiding?!
[07:45] ---
    I noticed you come in,
    but I wanted to avoid trouble.
[07:49] ---
    But I cannot allow you to abuse the
    master of my house in that manner.
[07:53] ---
    It would stain my honor!
[07:55] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[07:56] ---
    Oh, hey, this is a perfect opportunity.
    Ashiya, give me a hand here!
[07:59] ---
    It's a matter of your dignity and Maou's.
[08:02] ---
    What? Why should I lend you a hand?
[08:06] ---
    You've got to be here to
    research this place, right?
[08:09] ---
    I'll treat you to whatever you want.
[08:11] ---
    Well, if you insist.
[08:13] ---
    I didn't think you were that greedy.
[08:16] ---
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[08:18] ---
    Right now, I must prioritize the
    household budget above all else.
[08:21] ---
    For that, I shall bear any indignity;
    I shall happily suffer any disgrace.
[08:25] ---
    You sound like a fool.
[08:27] ---
    At any rate, I was unable to
    research salads and desserts
[08:31] ---
    due to budget constraints.
[08:32] ---
    Later I shall order them.
[08:35] ---
    Um, I'm a little lost here... is he a friend?
[08:39] ---
    Absolutely not!
[08:39] ---
    Absolutely not!
[08:40] ---
    I don't know who you are, Miss,
[08:42] ---
    but in terms of this group's relationships,
    I am Miss Kamazuki's neighbor.
[08:46] ---
    My name is Shiro Ashiya.
[08:48] ---
    Nice to meet you.
    I'm Rika Suzuki, a coworker of Emi's.
[08:53] ---
    If you're Suzuno's neighbor,
    does that mean you live with Mr. Maou?
[08:57] ---
    Yes. Do you know him, Miss?
[09:00] ---
    I'm asking because
    I want to know all about him.
[09:03] ---
    Know... all about him?
[09:04] ---
    Eh, it's not the sort of thing
    you're worried about at all.
[09:08] ---
    Basically, this is about a man Emi
    doesn't want other girls getting close to.
[09:14] ---
    Yusa, what on Earth is she talking about?
[09:17] ---
    That's what I'd like to know, actually.
[09:19] ---
    A man Yusa doesn't want
    other girls getting close to, eh?
[09:24] ---
    And a matter of dignity?
[09:26] ---
    This is what the phrase
    "let the secret slip" means, Yusa.
[09:29] ---
    Well...
[09:32] ---
    I haven't told Miss Kamazuki this, either,
[09:35] ---
    but Maou and I once ran a company together.
[09:39] ---
    What?! A company?!
[09:40] ---
    A-Ashiya?
[09:42] ---
    What is he talking about?
[09:44] ---
    Wait, you don't look much older
    than we are--how old are you?
[09:48] ---
    Our company mainly focused on
[09:50] ---
    real estate management
    and personnel placement.
[09:54] ---
    We also dabbled in construction
    and other industries occasionally.
[09:57] ---
    Yes, we were called...
[09:58] ---
    The Maou Syndicate
[09:58] ---
    ...the Maou Syndicate!
[10:01] ---
    Maou... Syndicate?
[10:02] ---
    "Personnel placement," my butt!
[10:04] ---
    And Yusa...
[10:06] ---
    ...worked for a rival company!
[10:09] ---
    Emi, you worked in construction before?!
[10:12] ---
    More like, how old are you again?!
[10:14] ---
    Um, it's hard to explain...
[10:16] ---
    If I recall correctly, weren't
    you a temp at the time?
[10:19] ---
    A temp?!
[10:20] ---
    I see, so the hero is a temp...
[10:22] ---
    Don't take him seriously!
[10:24] ---
    Though we had our fingers in
    many pies, we were still small enough
SIGN    Bring those materials over here.
[10:26] ---
    that management had to
    command the teams on-site.
[10:30] ---
    But Yusa was both skilled
    and backed up by her company,
SIGN    Pleased to meet you. I'm Yusa.
[10:35] ---
    and she frequently vied
    with us for our clients' jobs.
SIGN    ...and so this structure...
[10:38] ---
    We were all so young, and all with much
    the same level of business experience.
[10:42] ---
    Japan was smack in the middle of the recession,
    and with a major firm taking jobs from us,
[10:46] ---
    our company run by young upstarts
    went down like a house of cards.
SIGN    Mr. Company President!
[10:50] ---
    And the final one to battle us
    for an order was Yusa.
SIGN    Thank you so much, Mr. Company President!
[10:55] ---
    We lost, and the company went bankrupt.
[10:58] ---
    We drifted, eventually winding
    up in a Sasazuka apartment,
[11:01] ---
    until almost a year later, we saw Yusa again!
[11:04] ---
    Takoyaki...!
[11:06] ---
    I imagine Yusa had complex
    feelings about her fallen competitors.
[11:12] ---
    She still checks in on us every now and again.
[11:14] ---
    Oh, I see.
[11:17] ---
    However!
[11:18] ---
    Maou has not given up on his dream
    of starting a successful business!
[11:21] ---
    Right now he is working
    intensely at MgRonald's
[11:25] ---
    to learn all about
    management from the ground up,
[11:27] ---
    and in just one year has
    been appointed shift manager.
[11:31] ---
    As for me, I now play housewife all day long...
[11:35] ---
    How far I have fallen.
[11:38] ---
    Nonetheless! We intend to start
    a business with our leader Maou again one day!
[11:43] ---
    I want to do everything
    I can to support that dream!
[11:46] ---
    Still, entrepreneurship is a gamble.
[11:49] ---
    I can understand why Yusa didn't want
    Miss Kamazuki to grow too close to us,
[11:53] ---
    out of fear that she'd get
    dragged into that gamble.
[11:57] ---
    I'm plenty dragged in already.
[11:59] ---
    And Maou is what you might call stubborn...
[12:02] ---
    He sees Yusa as an enemy,
    and hates her on a fundamental level.
[12:06] ---
    So I don't think the sort of thing you're
    imagining would ever happen, Miss Suzuki.
[12:10] ---
    Whoa, that sounds incredible...
    when you guys are about my age...
[12:13] ---
    Now I'm embarrassed that I had such
    a wild idea and blew it out of proportion
[12:17] ---
    and butted into things.
[12:19] ---
    And Emi, you should have told me!
[12:21] ---
    You wouldn't have listened, would you?
[12:24] ---
    My family runs a small factory,
    and when times really got rough,
[12:28] ---
    we pulled through it by all working together.
[12:31] ---
    You said you'd "fallen," but your Mr. Maou
[12:33] ---
    eats the meals you've made,
    sleeps on the futon you've aired out,
[12:37] ---
    and wears the underwear you've washed, right?
[12:40] ---
    Yes...
[12:41] ---
    Then you're everyone's firm foundation,
    so I think you should be prouder of yourself.
[12:46] ---
    Since you're supportive of each other
    like that, I know things will go well!
[12:52] ---
    You're the first person
    who's ever said that to me.
[12:56] ---
    Thank you for encouraging me--
    I feel a bit stronger for it.
[13:02] ---
    Rika?
[13:02] ---
    Huh?! What?!
[13:04] ---
    Uh, I'm kind of asking you that.
    What's gotten into you?
[13:07] ---
    It's nothing, it's nothing,
    it's nothing, it's nothing!
[13:10] ---
    She said that four times.
[13:11] ---
    But wow, everybody's got a past, huh?
[13:15] ---
    Anyway, this clears up
    the misunderstanding, right?
[13:17] ---
    Let's go home--
[13:18] ---
    Now I'm personally interested
    in checking out this "Maou" guy!
[13:21] ---
    Huh?!
[13:22] ---
    For one thing, if he's so gifted, I should
    invest in making the connection now!
[13:27] ---
    Hold it, what are you talking about?
[13:28] ---
    Mr. Ashiya, you need to report
    to him about the enemy, right?
[13:31] ---
    So why don't we all go together?
[13:32] ---
    Whoa, Rika!
[13:33] ---
    You're coming too, of course?
[13:35] ---
    Now get me one of those maple biscuits
[13:38] ---
    and a salad with Thousand
    Island dressing, takeout.
SIGN    Hey-- Wait--
[13:42] ---
    Miss Kamazuki, I must thank you
    for your constant help.
[13:44] ---
    Allow me to treat you.
[13:48] ---
    Why did things turn out like this?
[13:57] ---
    The situation is getting worse and worse.
[14:01] ---
    Oh my, Miss.
[14:03] ---
    If you allow things to trouble you so,
    you won't be able to enjoy your food.
[14:08] ---
    Uh, thanks, I guess.
[14:09] ---
    No matter how much one worries,
[14:11] ---
    over time things change
    whether we like it or not.
[14:14] ---
    I hope you won't regret it when the situation
    becomes totally out of your control.
[14:20] ---
    This is the first time I've been given
    advice on life by an SFC employee.
[14:24] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry for being presumptuous.
[14:27] ---
    But please let me tell you just one thing.
[14:29] ---
    Men take advantage of women
    when they're vulnerable.
[14:32] ---
    Please be on your guard at all times.
[14:35] ---
    What do you mean by that?
[14:36] ---
    Well, nothing really.
[14:39] ---
    Thank you very much. Please come see us again.
[14:49] ---
    They're giving out Grand Opening coupons, eh?
[14:51] ---
    Furthermore, I tried their food, too.
[14:53] ---
    Their trademark product,
    fried chicken, is amazing!
[14:56] ---
    Depending on the part of the chicken,
    you can even eat the bones!
[14:59] ---
    Even bones?!
[15:01] ---
    Wait. People don't normally eat bones.
[15:02] ---
    And that's not all.
    They evidently serve organic coffee.
[15:06] ---
    Coffee made from ogres?!
[15:09] ---
    "Organic." It means
    "grown with natural pesticides."
[15:11] ---
    Naturally pestilent ogres, eh?
[15:14] ---
    But besides those things, I don't
    think there's an extreme difference.
[15:17] ---
    Their customer service was quite normal, too.
[15:20] ---
    The only reason I can think of at this point is
    that passersby are just drawn to new things.
[15:24] ---
    I see.
[15:26] ---
    In any case, we'll at least try putting up a fight.
[15:29] ---
    Thanks for your help.
[15:30] ---
    I hardly deserve those words.
[15:32] ---
    Although it's not much,
    I'll contribute to your sales, Sire.
[15:38] ---
    Two Big Mag burger sets with
    large drinks and fries, please.
[15:44] ---
    Urushihara will probably complain,
    but this'll be our dinner tonight.
[15:47] ---
    If he complains about the food, give him
    a good beating. I'll give you permission.
[15:50] ---
    As you wish, Sire.
[15:51] ---
    Ah-choo!
[15:53] ---
    In addition... please expect
    great things from those girls.
[15:57] ---
    Okay... though I don’t know what you mean.
[15:59] ---
    Well then, I pray for your success in battle.
[16:04] ---
    Wow, they seem really tight.
    On top of that, he acts totally professional.
[16:08] ---
    You're surrounded by capable people, Emi.
[16:11] ---
    Oh, can I count myself among them?
[16:14] ---
    Knock yourself out.
[16:15] ---
    Their chairs are harder than the ones at SFC...
[16:18] ---
    Excuse me, M-i-s-s-e-s...
[16:21] ---
    What?
[16:23] ---
    Could you sit down after
    you've placed your order?
[16:27] ---
    Then bring me a small iced coffee.
[16:30] ---
    Our restaurant is self-service. We'd like
    our customers to order at the register.
[16:33] ---
    Fine, I'll order an apple pie too, so show
    some gratitude and bring it to the table.
[16:37] ---
    Miss--
[16:38] ---
    You're the Mr. Maou, aren't you?
[16:40] ---
    You somehow aren't as
    charismatic as I thought you'd be.
[16:43] ---
    Your restaurant is empty
    when you're in charge, too.
[16:46] ---
    What're you saying out of nowhere?
    Who do you think you are?!
[16:49] ---
    Hey, that's not very polite!
[16:52] ---
    You want me to send a letter to your headquarters
    telling them that you've got an attitude?
[16:56] ---
    Shut up! Restaurants have rules
    that even customers need to follow.
[17:00] ---
    Besides, who the heck are you?!
[17:02] ---
    I'm Rika Suzuki. I'm Emi's coworker.
[17:05] ---
    Mr. Sadao Maou. These two and
    Mr. Ashiya told me about you.
[17:09] ---
    Ashiya did? When? What did he tell you?
[17:12] ---
    Ah-choo!
[17:14] ---
    Well, Mr. Ashiya and Emi's
    opinions of you were totally one-sided,
[17:18] ---
    so I came to check you out myself.
[17:21] ---
    I don't get what you're saying,
    but are you one of those busybody types?
[17:26] ---
    Seriously, first there's no
    customers and then Emi shows up...
[17:29] ---
    You shouldn't talk like that, Mr. Maou!
[17:32] ---
    Miss Yusa is also a valuable customer.
[17:35] ---
    Here you go! Iced coffee and
    an apple pie fresh from the oven!
[17:39] ---
    Sorry, Chiho. I just got
    carried away because of Maou...
[17:43] ---
    Don't worry about it. I know.
[17:45] ---
    Good Chiho, you seem to be working hard.
[17:47] ---
    Hi, Miss Suzuno!
[17:49] ---
    Are you Miss Yusa's friend?
[17:52] ---
    That's right. I'm Emi's coworker. I'm Rika Suzuki.
[17:55] ---
    I'm Chiho Sasaki.
[17:57] ---
    Miss Yusa has been very nice to me.
[18:00] ---
    How cute...
[18:01] ---
    Excuse me?
[18:02] ---
    How cute! What's with this girl?! She's so cute!
[18:05] ---
    Hey, what're you doing?!
[18:07] ---
    Isn't it unfair how many gifted
    people you have around you, Emi?!
[18:09] ---
    She's polite and has good work ethics.
[18:12] ---
    On top of that, she's cute!
    That's cheating! Cheating I tell you!
[18:15] ---
    Hey, what are you, a drunk
    old man? Stop it, Rika!
[18:18] ---
    Okay, okay.
[18:19] ---
    Sorry, Chiho. I just got so excited.
[18:22] ---
    O-Okay, though I don't
    know what this is about...
[18:27] ---
    So what're you gonna do now?
[18:29] ---
    Huh?
[18:30] ---
    You told Mr. Ashiya that you'd
    try putting up a fight or something.
[18:33] ---
    This is a good chance, so I'll just say it
    straight... I want to see how you work.
[18:38] ---
    What the heck is your deal?
[18:40] ---
    Mr. Ashiya... Chiho...
[18:42] ---
    There are many gifted people around Emi.
[18:45] ---
    So I'm guessing that you aren't
    the idiot that you appear to be.
[18:49] ---
    In short, you're trying to
    say that I look like an idiot?
[18:53] ---
    It might be more than just looks.
[18:56] ---
    Fine!
[18:58] ---
    The hell with SFC's coupons!
[19:00] ---
    We'll compete by using flyers!
[19:02] ---
    How about some MgRonald's burgers?!
[19:04] ---
    Please stop by!
[19:08] ---
    It's no use!
[19:09] ---
    What?!
[19:10] ---
    Then, we'll advertise that our products
    don't have bones and are easy to eat!
[19:14] ---
    How about a Big Mag burger?!
    They don't have bones and are easy to eat!
[19:19] ---
    Isn't it just natural that
    burgers don't have bones?
[19:22] ---
    You say some silly stuff!
[19:24] ---
    You're cute!
[19:25] ---
    It's no use.
[19:26] ---
    Yeah, I guess...
[19:29] ---
    Kawa-cchi! Now that it's come
    to this, isn't it time for us to begin
[19:32] ---
    Operation Let People Use the Restroom
    Even if They Don't Buy Anything?!
[19:34] ---
    What's the point of that?!
[19:38] ---
    How pathetic...
[19:41] ---
    Is Maou in?
[19:43] ---
    Mr. Nabe! I've been waiting for you!
[19:46] ---
    It's a request from you, of course
    I'd come! Sorry I'm a little late.
[19:50] ---
    No problem! You're a life-saver!
[19:53] ---
    It'll be my treat, so please have something!
[19:56] ---
    Now that I've delivered what
    you asked for, I'll go home.
[19:58] ---
    My wife's making dinner for me, so...
    Thanks for your offer, though.
[20:01] ---
    I'll see you on the next cleaning day.
    Say hello to Miss Kisaki.
[20:09] ---
    Amazing! He gave us really nice ones!
[20:12] ---
    Let's hurry up and decorate
    before the dinner rush starts!
[20:14] ---
    Yeah, let's do it!
[20:16] ---
    Maa, here you go!
[20:18] ---
    Do you think we have enough ornaments?
[20:20] ---
    Okay, let's use the flyers.
[20:23] ---
    Is it okay to use them to make ornaments?
[20:26] ---
    I’m the current shift manager.
    I’ll give you permission!
[20:29] ---
    What's going on?
[20:30] ---
    The Sasahata Tanabata Festival
    gave Mr. Maou the idea.
[20:33] ---
    He thought we'd have customers
    write their wishes on strips of paper
[20:36] ---
    and decorate the trees using them.
[20:40] ---
    He asked the manager to get
    permission from our regional office
[20:45] ---
    to give a complimentary small drink
    to the customers who participated.
[20:50] ---
    He then asked that old man who came
    by earlier, Mr. Watanabe, for the trees.
[20:54] ---
    Mr. Maou got to know him while
    volunteering for neighborhood cleanup,
[20:58] ---
    and learned that he grows
    bamboo trees in his yard.
[21:01] ---
    Maou... volunteers for
    neighborhood cleanup...?
[21:04] ---
    Of course, we don't know if
    this will directly affect our sales,
[21:08] ---
    but the mood in the restaurant
    has changed a bit, right?
[21:11] ---
    All right!
[21:11] ---
    Whoa!
[21:14] ---
    Good!
[21:16] ---
    He is pretty good.
[21:19] ---
    I'll admit that he's a hard worker.
[21:23] ---
    Oh?
[21:25] ---
    How pretty!
[21:26] ---
    Is this the MgRonald's with that
    cute girl who says silly things?
[21:29] ---
    I saw her pic in a tweet!
[21:30] ---
    What is it?!
[21:31] ---
    Mom, I wanna write my wish and decorate it!
[21:36] ---
    What?! Seriously?!
[21:38] ---
    They just put bamboo trees out and
    now this? What kind of feng shui is it?
[21:42] ---
    I can't believe it!
[21:44] ---
    All right, guys! Take up battle positions!
[21:47] ---
    It’s time for war!
[21:48] ---
    Yeah!
[21:50] ---
    Welcome! Welcome!
[21:53] ---
    Once you've decided on
    your order, please get in line!
[21:59] ---
    Welcome! The seats over there are not taken.
[22:03] ---
    Okay. I'll show you the way.
[22:23] ---
    Where will morning start from, in this quiet sky?
[22:28] ---
    Fingertips twining in a pinky
    swear I pretended not to see
[22:34] ---
    If the moon's been laughed at,
    she'll sink away toward yesterday
[22:45] ---
    Liar, coward--if I'm all these things at once
[22:50] ---
    Then I only blossomed in dreams
[22:56] ---
    I hid in the moon's shadow,
    but the truth is, I was crying
[23:01] ---
    The tears won't flow anymore--
    did they all dry up?
[23:07] ---
    If I could forgive everything,
    maybe they'd flow again
[23:14] ---
    But these are all things I want to protect
[23:43] ---
