[00:16] Yukichi
    I am a cat.
[00:19] Yukichi
    I may be tooting my own horn,
[00:22] Yukichi
    but I consider myself to be
    quite a masterful cat.
[00:27] Yukichi
    Even one such as I
    has pressing concerns.
[00:32] Yukichi
    It's that...
SIGN    My owner
    (a 27-year-old

    into the PET bottle trash!
SIGN    A cat who reseparates
     the trash right before
     taking it out.
[00:57] Yukichi
    Why, Homo sapiens?!
[01:02] Yukichi
    How in the world do the neighborhood
    crows know how the trash is separated
[01:07] Yukichi
    and what day they're put
    out better than her?!
SIGN    Burnable Trash
SIGN    Plastic Trash
SIGN    PET Bottles
[01:20] Yukichi
    Goodness.
[01:22] Yukichi
    I can't believe a company
    hired such a worthless human.
[01:28] Yukichi
    If she loses her job, I should
    immediately give up on her and leave.
[01:35] Saku
    Y-Yukichi!
[01:39] Saku
    Did you change the recipe
    for the hamburg steak sauce?!
[01:42] Saku
    You're a genius!
[01:43] Saku
    It's so freaking delicious!
[01:46] Saku
    What the hell is this?!

[03:56] Child
    Hello!
[04:19] Saku
    Hey, Yukichi.
[04:23] Saku
    It might sound kind of weird
    asking you this, but...
[04:29] Saku
    Please!
[04:32] Saku
    I want you to teach me how to cook.
[04:36] Saku
    I got myself an apron
    and prepared some tools.
[04:50] Saku
    Please! Please, Teacher!
[04:53] Saku
    I don't want to grow old only
     knowing how to make cup ramen!
[04:59] Saku
    I remembered last week!
[05:01] Saku
    I'm a worthless human being that can't even
    take care of myself without you, Yukichi!
SIGN    The place last week
SIGN    Just remembered
[05:16] Saku
    On top of that...
[05:18] Saku
    The people at my company
    are starting to think
[05:20] Saku
    that I'm the type of woman
    that's good at cooking.
[05:24] (Flashback) Female Employee 1
    Wow! Fukuzawa-san can even bake sweets?
[05:28] Glasses Manager
    Such strong home-making skills!
[05:30] Glasses Manager
    Fukuzawa, you always bring your lunch, too.
[05:31] Male Employee 1
    You'll make a great wife.
[05:34] Saku
    I really can't cook at all!
[05:35] (Flashback) Female Employee 1
    If you consider yourself a bad cook,
    the rest of us are completely worthless.
[05:37] Yuri
    So good...
[05:39] Yuri
    Senpai! Please become my wife!
[05:40] (Flashback) Saku
    No, no, no, no.
[05:42] Saku
    I want to close the gap between
    fact and fiction as much as I can
[05:45] Saku
    before anyone finds out!
[05:49] Saku
    And, so!
[05:51] Saku
    I want to become skilled enough
    to make my own lunches!
SIGN    Homemade Food Even Monkeys Can Make
[05:58] Saku
    Please take care of me!
[06:02] Saku
    But I really need to start
    with something super simple.
SIGN    Plain TKG (Tamago-Kake-Gohan) A simple bowl of rice with raw egg. [How to Make] 1: Crack a raw egg over a bowl of rice. 2: Drizzle soy sauce over it. 3: Add topping.

     3: Gather the plastic wrap like a drawstring purse
     and shape the rice ball in your hands.
     4: Wrap with seaweed.
SIGN    Plain rice
     with raw egg.
[06:11] Saku
    Huh? This?!
[06:15] Saku
    Isn't this a bit hard?
[06:17] Saku
    I have to crack an egg, right?
[06:25] Saku
    No! No! I'm kidding!
[06:27] Saku
    No way. No way.
[06:29] Saku
    Even I can crack an egg! Bring it on!
[06:39] Saku
    Okay! I have an egg!
[06:51] Saku
    Now what?!
SIGN    Crack a raw
     egg over a
     bowl of rice.
SIGN    Drizzle soy
     sauce over it.
SIGN    Add
    topping.
[07:08] Saku
    Hold on!
[07:11] Saku
    That's the only explanation
    they have for step one?!
[07:14] Saku
    How do I crack an egg?!
SIGN    Crack a raw
     egg over a
     bowl of rice.
[07:16] Saku
    How is this something
    even monkeys can make?!
SIGN    Crack
[07:45] Saku
    Tiny shell bits are all
    over it like a topping!
[07:49] Saku
    A-A little calcium never hurts.
[07:51] Saku
    No, wait. Egg shells are dangerous
    because of salmo-something right?
[08:01] Saku
    Huh?
[08:06] Saku
    Yukichi, you're amazing!
[08:07] Saku
    You can hold chopsticks
    so well with those paws.
[08:13] Saku
    How're you doing that?
[08:17] Saku
    It's done!
[08:19] Saku
    Plain raw egg over rice!
[08:22] Saku
    Amazing! It's the real thing!
SIGN    Glowing
[08:24] Saku
    This is the first time I've made
    something other than cup ramen!
SIGN    Eyes filled with pity
[08:32] Saku
    It looks so good!
SIGN    Drip...
[09:00] Saku
    Something...
[09:01] Saku
    Isn't there something easier than this?!
[09:05] Saku
    Something where I don't need to
    crack eggs or pour soy sauce?
[09:12] Saku
    Come to think of it, did we
    always have a cookbook like this?
SIGN    Hamburg Steak
[09:17] Saku
    I never bought something like this.
[09:20] Saku
    And you cook without looking at recipes, Yukichi...
[09:26] Saku
    But I feel like I've eaten
    everything in this book before.
[09:38] Saku
    Isn't this all the food you used to make
    for me when you were a kitten?!
[09:50] Saku
    Why'd you hide?
[09:52] Saku
    It's nothing to be embarrassed about!
[09:56] Saku
    How nostalgic!
[09:58] Saku
    I completely forgot about it since you
    started cooking like a pro so quickly!
[10:04] Saku
    You looked at every one of these
    recipes and cooked them one by one.
[10:09] Saku
    Hey, Yukichi!
[10:12] Saku
    I want to eat this again!
[10:16] Saku
    Rice balls were the first things
    you ever made for me!
[10:32] Saku
    They look so good!
[10:34] Saku
    You're so good at making
    triangles with those paws.
[10:37] Saku
    How're you doing that?
[10:41] Saku
    Afterwards, Yukichi turned the failed
    raw egg over rice into rice porridge.
SIGN    Crack
[11:58] Saku
    Hey, Yukichi.
[12:00] Saku

[14:16] Reporter
    True, it's quite easy to build up
    too many convenience store umbrellas!
[14:19] Saku
    I agree!
[14:20] Reporter
    Thank goodness you have someone at home

[23:12] Yukichi
    Sea slugs are a type of marine gastropod
    mollusk that evolved to lose their shells.
[23:17] Yukichi
    In other words, they are
    in the same family as snails.
[23:20] Yukichi
    The appendages on their head
    look like little horns,
[23:22] Yukichi
    so they are commonly called
    "cows of the sea" in Japan.
[23:24] Yukichi
    These sea slugs are the inspiration
    for the sea slug idol group, UMYU-Sea...
