**[00:16] Oshiro**
It's Monday. This sucks. I'm tired.
I don't want to work.
**[00:19] Oshiro**
I can't believe it's still
so early in the afternoon.
**[00:22] Oshiro**
I want to go home.
**[00:28] Yuri**
It's the Monday blues...
**[00:31] Yuri**
The malaise I'm feeling is unbearable, too.
**[00:34] Saku**
Yeah, the first day of the work
week is always rough.
**[00:37] Oshiro**
Yeah, right. Fukuzawa, you come
in every Monday raring to go.
**[00:43] Oshiro**
You looked so alert this morning!
**[00:46] Yuri**
Are you doing something to fight the blues?
**[00:48] Saku**
Huh? Not really.
**[00:52] Oshiro**
Maybe you're drinking some
super rare enzyme or something!
**[00:56] Yuri**
Or maybe you see an osteopathic
doctor that has godly hands?!
**[00:59] Saku**
What kind of image do you have of me?!
**[01:03] Saku; Internal**
**Am *I doing anything?*
**[01:10] Narration**
*Sunday night.*
**[01:12] (Flashback) Saku**
It's coming!
**[01:14] (Flashback) Saku**
It's almost here!
**[01:15] (Flashback) Saku**
Monday is almost here!
**[01:18] (Flashback) Saku**
Who said it has to come?!
**[01:20] (Flashback) Saku**
It's crazy that we only have two days to
rest when we work so hard for five days!
**[01:23] (Flashback) Saku**
I don't want to squeeze
into a full train car again!

**[03:02] Narration**
*Sunday night, continued...*
**[03:05] (Flashback) Saku**
I don't want to squeeze
into a full train car again!
**[03:08] (Flashback) Saku**
Monday is almost here!
**[03:10] (Flashback) Saku**
Who said it has to come?!
**[03:12] (Flashback) Saku**
It's crazy that we only have two days to
rest when we work so hard for five days!
**[03:16] Sazae-san**
*This is Sa*ae!*
***SIGN*** Bwap
***SIGN*** Push
**[03:19] (Flashback) Saku**
I just heard Sa*ae-san's voice.
***SIGN*** Fluster
**[03:23] (Flashback) Saku**
It's all over!
**[03:25] Narration**
*Sunday, that is.*
**[03:27] (Flashback) Saku**
I want to go back to Friday night!
**[03:29] (Flashback) Saku**
Or I want to jump forward
to next Friday night!
**[03:32] (Flashback) Saku**
Why can't every day be Saturday?!
***SIGN*** Poff
***SIGN*** Push...
**[03:37] (Flashback) Saku**
What're you...
***SIGN*** Breathe in Breath out
***SIGN*** Sniff
**[03:44] (Flashback) Saku**
It smells so good.
**[03:46] (Flashback) Saku**
Thanks, I feel so much calmer.
***SIGN*** Sniff
**[03:49] (Flashback) Saku**
Why do your toe beans smell like happiness?
**[03:54] (Flashback) Saku**
They smell like the sun,
but a little sweeter.
***SIGN*** Sniff
***SIGN*** Not sure how to
feel about this
**[03:58] (Flashback) Saku**
Something like popcorn.
**[04:02] (Flashback) Saku**
I want to carry around this
scent and warmth with me.
**[04:05] (Flashback) Saku**
Maybe mankind needs to carry around
cats instead of smartphones?
**[04:10] (Flashback) Saku**
I could survive a full train car with...
**[04:13] (Flashback) Saku**
Full train car?
**[04:17] (Flashback) Saku**
A full train car?!
**[04:19] (Flashback) Saku**
Monday is coming!
***SIGN*** Huff
**[04:28] Narration**
*Three hours later...*
**[04:31] (Flashback) Saku**
I want to live in the countryside.
**[04:33] (Flashback) Saku**
I don't want to live such
a busy lifestyle in the city.
**[04:36] (Flashback) Saku**
I want a slow lifestyle where two train cars
***SIGN*** Whimper
**[04:39] (Flashback) Saku**
are spacious enough to
fit all the commuters.
**[04:42] (Flashback) Saku**
I've always wanted to live in
an old house that's been renovated.
***SIGN*** Warmth
**[04:46] (Flashback) Saku**
Maybe you can open up a small
Japanese-style restaurant, Yukichi.
**[04:49] (Flashback) Saku**
We could have a little
vegetable field in the forest.
**[04:55] Narration**
*The forest.*
**[04:57] Narration**
*Bears.*
**[05:01] (Flashback) Hunter**
It's a bear!
***SIGN*** Meow
**[05:04] Narration**
*Shoo*ing accident!*
**[05:06] (Flashback) Saku**
Huh? Why not?!
**[05:08] (Flashback) Saku**
Is it because you're so
attached to our house?!
**[05:12] (Flashback) Saku**
Ugh, I can't sleep.
**[05:15] (Flashback) Saku**
Can I drink a beer?
**[05:17] (Flashback) Saku**
I'll brush my teeth again afterward.
**[05:21] (Flashback) Saku**
But I can't fall asleep at this rate!
***SIGN*** Purr
**[05:28] (Flashback) Saku**
What's with this superbly
comfortable vibration?
**[05:36] Narration**
*Mission complete.*
**[05:47] Saku**
I don't think I do anything
particularly special.
**[05:54] Saku**
Well, maybe my cat lets me
cuddle more on Sundays?
**[06:00] Oshiro**
It gets more clingy because
it knows you're leaving?
**[06:03] Oshiro**
How cute!
**[06:05] Saku**
No, he's not really that type of cat.
**[06:09] Yuri**
Cats are full of healing properties.
**[06:12] Yuri**
I heard that their toe beans and purring
have huge effects on people!
**[06:17] Yuri**
I've read that the pheromones from their
toe beans have a calming effect on people.
**[06:22] Yuri**
Their purring is thought to
alleviate stress, expedite healing,
**[06:26] Yuri**
and strengthen the immune system.
**[06:29] Yuri**
The effects are significant enough that there's
even research for the use of cat therapy!
**[06:34] Oshiro**
Aren't cats a little too overpowered?!
Maybe I should get one, too.
**[06:36] Saku; Internal**
*So...*
**[06:38] Yuri**
You'll end up an old maid.
**[06:39] Oshiro**
What?!
**[06:39] Saku; Internal**
*I was getting cat therapy!*
**[06:43] Narration**
*A world where every person carries a cat.*
***SIGN*** Sniff
Snort
Huff
Sniff
Heave
**[06:49] Saku**
Wouldn't that solve everything?!
**[06:52] Saku**
Am I a genius?!
**[06:55] Narration**
*The eyes of a cat looking at an idiot.*
**[06:58] Train Announcer**
*Thank you very much.*
**[07:08] Saku; Internal**
* Lately, Yukichi has been making*
* some weird rhythmic noises.*
**[07:13] Saku; Internal**
* He does it while he's doing housework*
* or if he's in a good mood.*
**[07:19] Saku; Internal**
* I've been writing it off*
* as some random humming, but...*
**[07:23] Saku; Internal**
* I realized something after going to*
* the concert at the aquarium*
**[07:26] Saku; Internal**
*and listening to their music a lot.*
**[07:30] Saku; Internal**
*He's beatboxing to UMYU-Sea's songs!*
**[07:34] Saku; Internal**
*And the thing he's doing right now...*
**[07:37] UMYU-Sea**
*We're not clione sea angels!*
**[07:42] UMYU-Sea**
*We're...*
**[07:43] UMYU-Sea**
*We're...*
**[07:44] UMYU-Sea**
*Idols of the sea!*
**[07:45] Saku; Internal**
* It's their debut single,*
* "We're Not Clione Sea Angels"!*
**[07:52] Saku; Internal**
*He's so talented!*
**[07:53] Saku; Internal**
*This is a great song. I love it, too!*
**[07:56] Saku; Internal**
*I want to tell him that, but I can't!*
**[08:01] Saku; Internal**
* Last time, when I snuck a shot of Yukichi*
* dancing since he was so darn cute...*
**[08:13] Saku**
No! No! No! No!
**[08:13] Saku; Internal**
* He got so mad he never*
* danced like that again.*
**[08:15] Saku**
I'm not deleting it! I'm not!
**[08:20] Saku; Internal**
* If he thinks I'm teasing him again,*
* he'll never let me hear his beatboxing!*
**[08:27] Saku; Internal**
* Maybe it's okay as long as it*
* doesn't seem like I'm teasing him?*
**[08:31] Saku; Internal**
*Yeah, like...*
**[08:35] Saku**
That was some amazing
beatboxing! It was so moving!
***SIGN*** Compliment
**[08:40] Saku; Internal**
*Yeah, he'd definitely get angry.*
**[08:44] Saku; Internal**
*Maybe I could join in nonchalantly?*
**[08:47] Saku**
We're not clione sea angels!
***SIGN*** Anger
**[08:52] Saku; Internal**
*How about adding an offhanded request?*
**[08:54] Saku**
Oh! I want to hear
"Sesame and Salt Parade" next!
***SIGN*** Anger
**[08:59] Saku; Internal**
* Maybe I should challenge him*
* to a sudden beatbox battle?*
***SIGN*** Doom Doom Don
Tsk Tsk Housh Yeah!
***SIGN*** Anger
**[09:06] Saku; Internal**
*It's no use!*
**[09:07] Saku; Internal**
* I can't think of a way to bring it up*
* without being annoying!*
**[09:10] Saku; Internal**
*And I've never beatboxed before!*
**[09:16] Saku; Internal**
* He'll close his heart to me*
* forever if I'm too careless.*
**[09:20] Saku; Internal**
* I'm sure the door to his heart will be*
* harder to open than Ama-no-Iwato.*
**[09:26] Saku; Internal**
*Ama-no-Iwato?!*
**[09:35] TV**
*We're not clione sea angels!*
**[09:39] TV**
*We're...*
**[09:40] TV**
*We're...*
**[09:42] TV**
*Idols of the sea!*
***SIGN*** Sway...
**[09:49] TV**
*All of the sea and the sky.*
**[09:50] Saku; Internal**
*All right! He took the bait!*
**[09:51] Saku; Internal**
*Now, join me, Yukichi!*
**[09:53] TV**
*We'll protect all of the earth.*
***SIGN*** Yank
***SIGN*** Pull
**[09:58] Saku**
Uh, Yukichi?
**[09:59] Saku**
Yukichi-san?
***SIGN*** Rewind 30 seconds
***SIGN*** Beep
**[10:03] Saku; Internal**
*No. This isn't it.*
***SIGN*** Stare...
**[10:05] Saku; Internal**
*This isn't what I was hoping for!*
**[10:08] Saku; Internal**
*Hey!*
**[10:10] Saku**
*I was forced to practice for two hours...*
***SIGN*** Wheeze Pant
**[10:20] Narration**
*Doesn't realize he's doing it out loud.*
**[10:25] Saku**
I'm home, Yukichi.
**[10:29] Saku**
I'm already at my limit.
I can't move another muscle.
**[10:34] Saku**
I don't even have the energy to eat.
**[10:39] Saku**
Th-The smell of pork soup,
hokke fish, and Chinese salad!
**[10:44] Saku**
Thanks for the meal!
**[10:48] Saku**
So delicious!
**[10:49] Saku**
Eating Yukichi's food is
the best when you're tired.
**[10:53] Saku**
I can feel the warmth!
**[10:56] Saku**
Do you have another
serving of this pork soup?!
**[11:02] Saku**
Huh? What's this?!
***SIGN*** Hmph!!
**[11:04] Saku**
I'm allowed to drink another one today?!
**[11:07] Saku**
What's going on?!
**[11:26] Saku**
It's the weekend!
**[11:28] Saku**
I'm going to laze around all day!
**[11:31] Saku**
Ow!
***SIGN*** Gonk
**[11:32] Saku**
What?!
**[11:34] Saku**
You should let me pet you a bit!
**[11:39] Saku**
What's the point of having such
luxurious fur if I can't pet it?
**[11:42] Saku**
Stingy!
***SIGN*** Zmoosh...
**[11:45] Saku**
I'm sorry for being cocky!
**[11:47] Saku**
A cat's luxurious fur is all for itself!
**[11:51] Saku**
I'm so sorry!
**[11:54] Narration**
*Sunday.*
**[11:59] Saku**
I slept so well.
**[12:01] Saku**
It's already the afternoon.
**[12:02] Saku**
Yukichi?
**[12:06] Saku**
Huh? Did he go shopping?
**[12:09] Saku**
Oh, I see brunch waiting for me!
**[12:11] Saku**
Thanks for the mea...
**[12:14] Narration**
*Yukichi's purse.*
**[12:16] Saku**
Huh?
**[12:18] Saku**
Huh? Huh?
**[12:19] Saku**
His purse?! There's money in it!
**[12:21] Saku**
Huh?!
**[12:23] Saku**
Yukichi actually forgot something?!
**[12:26] Saku;Internal**
*Maybe he has a fever?!*
**[12:28] Saku;Internal**
* People say that animals tend to*
* hide the fact that they're sick!*
**[12:32] Saku;Internal**
*No. No. I'm probably overreacting.*
**[12:36] Saku;Internal**
*Huh?*
**[12:38] Saku;Internal**
*But where do I take him if he's really sick?!*
**[12:43] Saku;Internal**
*NASA?!*
**[12:44] Saku**
Yukichi!
**[12:51] Saku**
Oh! Nishina-san!
**[12:52] Rio**
Welco...
**[12:55] Rio**
Whoa! Yukichi-san's...
**[12:57] Rio**
I-It's been a while.
**[13:00] Saku**
Oh! I'm sorry about leaving
you behind like that last time.
**[13:03] (Flashback) Rio**
S-Someone! Help!
**[13:05] (Flashback) Ex-Boyfriend**
A bear?!
**[13:07] (Flashback) Rio**
Don't call me stupid!
**[13:09] (Flashback) Ex-Boyfriend**
You stupid bear!
**[13:32] Saku**
Were you all right after?
**[13:35] Rio**
I really wanted to thank you
for helping me last time.
**[13:39] Rio**
He actually stopped bothering me after that.
**[13:42] Rio**
Please let me thank you properly sometime!
**[13:44] Saku**
No, no! You don't need to do that!
**[13:46] Saku**
I even let you take care
of the police last time...
**[13:49] Rio**
U-Um, may I ask you for your name?!
**[13:52] Saku**
Oh, I'm Fukuzawa.
**[13:54] Saku; Internal**
* This reminds me of*
* the first time I met Yuri-chan.*
**[13:57] Yuri**
Senpai!
**[13:58] Rio**
Fukuzawa-san...
**[14:00] Rio**
Oh, so, Yukichi-san must be Fukuzawa Yuki—
**[14:05] Saku**
That's right.
**[14:06] Saku**
My parents were planning to give me
that name if I'd been a boy.
**[14:10] Saku**
That's right! Did Yukichi stop by here?!
**[14:13] Rio**
Y-Yes, he did.
**[14:17] Rio**
He was getting a very warm welcome
from our manager over there...
**[14:21] Manager**
Thank you for visiting our store once again!
**[14:24] Manager**
Did you have any problems
during your visit today?
**[14:25] Saku; Internal**
*Why?!*
**[14:26] Manager**
Our cat goods are fully
stocked today, as well!
**[14:26] Rio**
Our manager really likes cats. I'm sorry.
**[14:30] Saku**
Oh, no. Thank you.
**[14:30] Manager**
Please take your time to browse our wares!
**[14:32] Saku**
I'm sorry for letting a cat shop
at a store that sells food.
**[14:36] Rio**
The manager allows it.
**[14:39] Rio**
I'm sure it's fine since we've never
gotten a complaint about him, either.
**[14:42] Rio**
Actually, people seem to like his visits.
**[14:45] Saku**
I-I see. Thank goodness.
**[14:49] Saku; Internal**
* We live together, but there's*
* a lot I don't know about him.*
**[14:53] Saku; Internal**
* He's more familiar with*
* the neighborhood than I am.*
**[14:57] Saku**
Oh, I should go say hello to the manager.
**[15:03] Saku; Internal**
*As his owner.*
**[15:04] Rio**
Oh, wait! If possible, please stay hidden.
**[15:08] Rio**
It'll be really gross if he discovers
new information about Yukichi-san
**[15:12] Rio**
and he gets even more fixated.
**[15:15] Saku; Internal**
* Looks like he's way more familiar*
* with others than I thought.*
**[15:19] Rio**
Oh! He's finally escaped!
**[15:22] Saku**
Hey, Yukichi!
**[15:25] Rio**
*Good work.*
**[15:29] Saku**
You forgot your purse, so I brought it over.
**[15:32] Saku**
Jeez! How can you go shopping without money?
**[15:36] Rio**
Money? Huh? But Yukichi-san...
***SIGN*** Swp...
**[15:42] Rio**
Doesn't he pay with his card now?
**[15:44] Saku; Internal**
*Cashless?!*
**[15:47] Rio**
Thank you.
**[15:49] Rio**
He started using it right after we
started our reward points program.
**[15:53] Rio**
He uses the point card and
coupons very skillfully.
**[15:56] Saku**
Such a fearsome cat!
**[16:03] Saku**
I jumped to conclusions,
but I'm glad it wasn't anything serious.
**[16:07] Saku**
I thought you were running a fever
when I discovered you forgot something.
**[16:11] Saku**
I'm sure there aren't many veterinarians
that could examine you, Yukichi.
**[16:15] Saku**
What should we do in the future?
***SIGN*** Nakayoshi Animal Hospital
**[16:21] Saku**
No way!
**[16:22] Saku**
That's a normal animal hospital!
**[16:25] Saku**
I only took you there once
when you were a kitten!
**[16:28] Saku**
Let's hurry home!
**[16:29] Saku**
I'm hungry!
**[16:33] Saku**
Come on! Rare! Come on!
**[16:36] Narration**
*Since she brought the cash,*
***SIGN*** Gacha
Gacha
Gacha
**[16:37] Saku**
Come on! Rare! Come on!
**[16:38] Narration**
* she gave Yukichi permission for extra*
* tries on the UMYU-Sea gacha machine.*
**[16:45] Yukichi; Internal**
*I am a cat.*
**[16:48] Yukichi; Internal**
* Ever since that snowy night,*
* I've found it to be strange.*
**[16:58] Yukichi; Internal**
* Why doesn't anyone come to collect*
* the garbage from this trash dump?*
**[17:04] Yukichi; Internal**
* And why doesn't this human*
* mind this wretched state?!*
**[17:11] Yukichi; Internal**
* Now she's even sleeping*
* at the front entrance?!*
***SIGN*** Meow
**[17:18] Saku**
Huh? It's morning?!
**[17:20] Saku**
Whoa! Sorry, Yukichi!
**[17:22] Saku**
You must be hungry!
**[17:23] Saku**
I'll pour you some kibble
and water right now!
**[17:25] Yukichi; Internal**
*Though she never forgets
to take care of *me*.*
**[17:30] Saku**
Hurry! Hurry!
**[17:32] Yukichi; Internal**
*She fails to take care of herself.*
**[17:36] Yukichi; Internal**
*A stray cat knows.*
**[17:39] Saku**
Shoot! I'm missing a button! Oh, who cares!
**[17:39] Yukichi; Internal**
* A creature that cannot even take care*
* of itself cannot live for long.*
**[17:43] Yukichi; Internal**
*She'll just drag me down with her if I stay.*
**[17:46] Yukichi; Internal**
*I should leave as soon as I find the chance.*
**[17:49] Saku**
I'm off!
**[17:58] Yukichi; Internal**
*The perfect chance!*
**[18:00] Yukichi; Internal**
*Now, is the time to leave!*
**[18:08] Mei**
My, what a lovely day.
**[18:12] Yukichi; Internal**
*That human is carrying trash bags with her.*
**[18:15] Yukichi; Internal**
*Today must be trash day!*
**[18:19] Yukichi; Internal**
* Well, I can take care of a bag*
* to pay her back for her kindness.*
**[18:41] Yukichi; Internal**
* It was so easy.*
* Anyone should be able to do this.*
**[18:45] Yukichi; Internal**
*I should take another out.*
**[18:48] Yukichi; Internal**
*No! No!*
**[18:49] Yukichi; Internal**
*What am I trying to go back for?!*
**[18:53] Mei**
Oh, no.
**[18:55] Mei**
Saku-chan left her door open.
**[18:58] Mei**
She really doesn't look after herself.
**[19:01] Yukichi; Internal**
*So that human is called Saku.*
**[19:03] Mei**
I should at least close the door for her.
**[19:07] Yukichi; Internal**
*Please do so.*
**[19:09] Yukichi; Internal**
*"Saku."*
**[19:10] Yukichi; Internal**
*I will remember your name...*
**[19:18] Yukichi; Internal**
* ...though we will probably*
* never cross paths again.*
**[19:29] (Flashback) Saku**
I'm late!
**[19:30] (Flashback) Saku**
I fell asleep in my suit!
**[19:33] (Flashback) Saku**
A c-c-cockroach in the b-b-bathroom!
***SIGN*** Yukichi's House
**[19:39] (Flashback) Saku**
Yukichi...
**[19:49] (Flashback) Saku**
I bought some cans of cat food!
**[20:11] (Flashback) Saku**
If you have nowhere to go,
how about coming with me?
**[20:21] Mei**
Did something just run by?
**[20:28] Yukichi; Internal**
*What?*
**[20:30] Yukichi; Internal**
* I thought of her stupid face*
