[00:19] Saku
    Yukichi, I'm home!
[00:21] Saku
    Our company did Premium Friday
     for the first time today!
[00:26] Saku
    There was still a little light
    in the sky, it was so moving!
[00:32] Saku
    What's wrong?
[00:34] Saku
    Huh? C-Could it be?
[00:37] Saku
    Can you tell I petted the crap
    out of a doggy on my way home?
[00:39] Owner
    Oh, my.
[00:40] Saku
    Doggy...
[00:43] Saku
    There were a lot of people out
    walking their dogs. I couldn't help it.
[00:47] Saku
    Yukichi! Sorry!
[00:48] Saku
    Sorry!
[00:54] Yuri
    Cats often get really upset if you
    pet other animals while you're out.
[00:59] Saku
    An animal's nose can be so scary!
[01:02] Yuri
    Speaking of their noses, does your
    cat try to lick your face toner?
[01:07] Saku
    Face toner?
[01:09] Yuri
    My family's cat loved licking my face
    right after I put on my face toner.
[01:12] Yuri
    It was hard to get away!
[01:15] Yuri
    Stop it!
[01:18] Yuri
    I've heard of cats licking
    freshly shampooed hair, too.
[01:21] Saku
    Ow! Ow! Ow! Your tongue is so rough!
[01:24] Saku
    That's a little scary!
[01:28] Saku
    Thank goodness my cat doesn't do that...
[01:31] Yuri
    Yeah. It's bad for them to
    ingest any of that stuff.

    And on top of that, she takes

    She's a perfect example of a masterful woman.

    Oh, a costume party.
[06:47] Saku
    A costume?
[06:49] Station Announcer
    Please wait for the next train.
[06:52] Saku; Internal
    A costume party, huh?
[06:54] Saku; Internal
    Maybe Yukichi can slip in
    without being found out?
[07:08] Saku; Internal
    Slip in?! What am I thinking?!
[07:11] Saku; Internal
    My conscience won't allow it!
[07:13] Oshiro
    So true!
[07:15] Saku
    I'll be heading home first.
[07:16] Oshiro
    Wow, it's rare for you

[07:18] Yuri
    Great job today.
[07:21] Saku
    Yukichi!
[07:23] Saku
    It's too dangerous!
[07:24] Saku
    It's definitely way too dangerous!
[07:27] Saku
    Wait, what are you making?
[07:31] Saku
    Huh?! Is that stuffed animal
    a present for Yume-chan?!
[07:36] Saku

    I'm a mouse!

    This reminds me of my

    What? I can have a taste?!

    These are super cute!

    Home! Home! Home! Everyone's gonna find out!

    Hello!

    H-Hello!

    It's cold out. Let's hurry inside!
[09:00] Child 2
    Wow! He even has cat hands!
[09:03] Saku
    Oh, uh, no, we're actually...
[09:05] Yume
    Come in! Come in! I'm coming down!
[09:10] Saku
    Huh? Uh, wait!
[09:10] Everyone
    Sorry for intruding!

    Welcome!

    I'm so glad the chief is on a business trip!
[09:27] Everyone
    Happy birthday, Yume-chan!
[09:31] Yume
    Thank you!
[09:33] Child 1
    I'm so jealous, Yume-chan!
[09:33] Child 2
    So cute!
[09:35] Witch Mom
    What is that?! A stuffed animal?!
[09:37] Devil Mom
    Is it a stuffed bear?!
[09:38] Saku; Internal
    Why is he drawing more
    attention to himself?!
[09:41] Saku; Internal
    Does he want us to move?!
[09:45] Yume
    Yuki-chan! This way!
[09:47] Witch Mom
    It moved!
[09:48] Devil Mom
    Th-That means it's alive, right?
[09:51] Saku; Internal
    Th-This is bad!
[09:53] Maid Mom
    I often see that cat
    in the neighborhood pharmacy!
[09:57] Maid Mom
    I've always wondered about it!
[10:00] Cone Hat Mom
    It's that huge cat rumored to appear
    at the supermarket in 3-Chome!
[10:04] Devil Mom
    Those rumors are true?!
[10:10] Witch Mom
    Oh, so it's a cat suit.
[10:13] Devil Mom
    I've heard that technology
    nowadays is pretty amazing.
[10:17] Cone Hat Mom
    But I wonder why that person
    always wears a cat costume.
[10:20] Saku
    Good job dressing up as
    someone in a cat costume!
[10:23] Yume's Mom
    Fukuzawa-san, aren't you
    from Kaoru's company?
[10:27] Saku
    Kao...?
[10:28] Saku
    Oh, yes!
[10:29] Saku
    He always takes care of me!
[10:31] Yume's Mom
    Thank you for always taking
    care of my little brother.
[10:35] Saku; Internal
    She must be Yume-chan's mother. She's so young!
[10:38] Saku
    Um, your daughter was kind enough
    to invite me here today.
[10:43] Yume's Mom
    I heard that you played
    with her at the aquarium.
[10:48] Yume's Mom
    I'm sorry you had to spend one
    of your days off that way.
[10:51] Saku
    Oh, it's f-fine!
[10:53] Saku
    I would have just slept the day
    away if I stayed home...
[10:59] Saku
    Wait, little brother?!
[11:02] Yume's Mom
    Yes, Kaoru is my little brother.
[11:05] Saku; Internal
    This person is older than the chief?!
SIGN    32 Years Old
[11:10] Saku; Internal
    In other words, she's older than me*?!
[11:14] Yume's Mom
    I heard about Yuki-san from Yume.
    He's really quite a large cat.
[11:20] Saku
    Huh? Come to think of it,
    where did they go?!
[11:23] Yume's Mom
    Yume pulled him up to
    the second floor just now.
[11:28] Yume's Mom
    She probably ran to my mother's room.
[11:31] Saku
    By mother, do you mean
    Chief O-Orizuka's mother?
[11:36] Yume's Mom
    Oh, he didn't tell you?
[11:38] Yume's Mom
    This is our family home.
[11:43] Yume's Mom
    We used it for the party
    because it's spacious.
[11:46] Yume's Mom
    Would you like to see the room
    my little brother grew up in?
[11:50] Yume's Mom
    His graduation album is here, too.
[11:52] Saku
    I-I-I wouldn't dare!
[11:54] Saku; Internal
    You should have told me, Chief!
[11:56] Saku; Internal
    I feel awkward now!
[12:01] Yume
    Yuki-chan! Over here! Over here!
[12:07] Yume
    There's someone I want you
    to meet on the second floor!
[12:10] Yume
    My grandma!
[12:14] Yume
    It's okay to come up.
    Grandma used to have a cat, too.
[12:21] Yume
    Jeez!
[12:25] Yume
    All the kids who want to see all
    the UMYU-Sea stuff I collected! Come up!
[12:29] Yume
    I have event-only stuff, too!
[12:53] Yume
    Grandma!
[12:56] Grandmother
    That cute voice must be from Yume-chan.
[13:03] Yume
    Grandma's eyes can't
    see that well anymore.
[13:07] Yume
    Grandma!
[13:10] Yume
    This is the Yuki-chan
    I told you about before!
[13:12] Grandmother
    Oh, my. You came to visit?
[13:15] Grandmother
    Nice to meet you.
[13:17] Grandmother
    I am Yume's grandmother.
[13:39] Grandmother
    You really are a large and impressive cat.
[13:48] Grandmother
    Your fur is very beautiful.
[13:51] Grandmother
    It reminds me of the black cat
    I used to have.
[13:55] Grandmother
    My cat became a part of the stars
    quite a long time ago.
[13:59] Grandmother
    My cat was also very intelligent.
[14:10] Saku
    Yume-chan!
[14:11] Yume
    Yes!
[14:12] Saku
    Where are you, Yukichi?
[14:14] Saku
    Yume's mom wants to start the party...
[14:18] Saku
    I-I-I'm so sorry!
[14:20] Saku
    U-Um, he's definitely not a dangerous cat!
[14:24] Grandmother
    Are you a part of Yuki-san's family?
[14:27] Saku
    Y-Yes!
[14:29] Grandmother
    What a lucky young lady.
[14:32] Grandmother
    You are living with a lucky anko cat.
[14:38] Grandmother
    My grandfather often told me
[14:42] Grandmother
    that black cats are called anko cats,
[14:44] Grandmother
    and they are lucky cats that
    bring their owners great luck.
[15:00] Grandmother
    How nice.
[15:03] Yume's Mom?
    Right?
[15:03] Grandmother
    Happy birthday, Yume-chan.
[15:07] Yume's Mom
    Happy birthday, Yume.
[15:16] Mothers
    Yume-chan, happy birthday!
[15:18] Mom 1
    So tasty. They're amazing!
[15:20] Mom 3
    Are the buns homemade, too?
[15:23] Saku
    Happy birthday!
[15:24] Yume
    Wow!
[15:27] Yume's Mom
    Say, "Cheese!"
[15:31] Yume's Mom
    Thank you very much.
[15:34] Yume
    Come again soon!
[15:36] Saku
    See you again!
[15:40] Saku
    I was worried about what
    would happen! I was so nervous!
[15:43] Saku
    The cat suit zipper worked perfectly!
[15:59] Saku
    Well, I was just thinking, what if
    you were just a man in a cat suit?
[16:10] Saku
    It's been a long time since
    we've come by this park!
[16:22] Saku
    You were curled up under
    that bench, Yukichi...
[16:35] Grandmother
    My grandfather often told me
[16:38] (Flashback) Grandmother
    that black cats are called anko cats,
[16:41] Grandmother
    and they are lucky cats that*
    bring their owners great luck.
[16:52] Saku
    The moment I saw you...
[16:54] Saku
    I was craving something sweet,
[16:58] Saku
    so I thought you were an ohagi rice cake.
[17:02] Saku
    Ouch! Ouch! Your claws!
[17:09] Orizuka; Internal
    Oh, that was today...
[17:12] Orizuka; Internal
    Fukuzawa even managed to prepare
    a costume on such short notice.
[17:16] Orizuka; Internal
    Did her friend Yuki-san come?
[17:21] Orizuka; Internal
    Where did this realistic-looking
    cat suit come from?
[17:25] Orizuka; Internal
    Scary...
[17:29] Orizuka; Internal
    Thank goodness I had to work.
[17:31] Orizuka; Internal
    I should buy her a souvenir to thank her.
[17:35] Narration
    A few days ago...
[17:49] Saku; Internal
    Slip in?! What am I thinking?!
[17:52] (Flashback) Saku
    Yukichi!
[17:53] (Flashback) Saku
    It's too dangerous!
[17:55] (Flashback) Saku
    It's definitely way too dangerous!
[17:58] (Flashback) Saku
    Wait, what are you making?
[18:02] (Flashback) Saku
    Huh?! Is that stuffed animal
    a present for Yume-chan?!
[18:07] (Flashback) Saku
    Hey, Yukichi!
[18:08] (Flashback) Saku
    I'm serious! I really want one!
[18:14] (Flashback) Saku
    It fits so perfectly in my arms!
[18:16] (Flashback) Saku
    And the shape totally triggers
    my motherly protective instincts!
[18:21] (Flashback) Saku
    It makes me want to take care of a cat!
SIGN    Means no harm
[18:31] Saku; Narration
    In the end, he didn't make me one...
[18:35] Station Announcer
    Thank you for boarding this train.
[18:53] Yukichi; Internal
    Worthless human...
[18:57] Yukichi; Internal
    Even for a company drinking party, she's late...
[19:06] Yukichi; Internal
    Every single time, she barely
    makes it on the last train...
[19:09] Yukichi; Internal
    And she usually drinks so much she ends up
    passing out at the entrance...
[19:18] Yukichi; Internal
    One of these days, she might not even
    make it home before passing out.
[19:24] Yukichi; Internal
    Forget about being male or female...
    She's worthless as a living creature.
[19:29] Yukichi; Internal
    At this rate, she'll never find a mate.
[19:36] Saku
    Oh, Yukichi?
[19:37] Saku
    Well, you know...
[19:39] Saku
    I'm just taking a little break
    at the park nearby,
[19:44] Saku
    but I'm so sleepy...
[19:54] Yukichi; Internal
    That fool!
[19:57] Yukichi; Internal
    Natural selection culls creatures
    with no sense of danger!
[20:19] Yukichi; Internal
    I'm definitely hitting that
    stupid face of hers today!
[20:27] Saku
    Yukichi...
[20:30] Saku
    Another serving of rice!

    So tasty...
