Frenemy: Rumble of the Rat (Furenemi ~ Dobunezumi no Machi! / フレネミー ～どぶねずみの街～)

My father disappeared when I was in 5th grade.

Kasumi-chan will be taken to an orphanage.

Natsuo-chan will be taken to his uncle's home.

Natsuo!

Natsuo, you're going to run this club, starting today.

Really, sir?

Natsuo?

It's me, Wataru!

Wataru, from our old neighborhood!

You're Natsuo, right?

Can the rat you sent in really handle it?

The rat is working in a club that's practically a sewer.

He'll get slaughtered.

How about thumb wrestling?

Oops, I meant arm wrestling.

Jeez, how can you mix those two up?

You're pretty well-built, huh?

You're just saying that!

You work out?

Not at all.

Natsuo, go beat him up.

What?

He disrupted a fistfight and embarrassed you.

Go settle the score.

But...

You want to get stronger, don't you? Do it.

Don't think, just move.

What? How should I know?

Hey, Kitami.

Is your place safe?

Yeah.

The cops are after mine.

They came questioning twice in the last month alone.

How's the casino?

We have a four-step system for new member registration.

They can't bust my casino that easily.

Four-step? How?

We take their family registry info, first.

Gambling addicts will give you whatever you want!

What are you doing?

Huh?

What the hell are you doing?

Can't you see all the cigarette butts?

Bring them a new ashtray.

Put your brains into it if you want to make a living with this job!

Well, I'm only working here until I find my next job...

Get on all fours.

Bow down and say you'll work hard starting tomorrow.

Hey, why are you all worked up for?

I can see you want to impress everyone,

but give him a break.

Okay? Give him—

Shut the hell up!

Keep your mouth shut for a while.

I'll work hard starting tomorrow.

— Rumble of the Rat — Episode 2

Take care.

See ya, that was fun.

You're an interesting guy.

Here's your tip.

Pick it up.

Get on all fours and pick it up.

Say "oink."

Say it like a pig.

Oink.

Don't you have any pride?

I'm impressed, Boss.

Hey, do you remember what you said to us earlier?

You told us to shut up, right?

I forgot.

Don't ever act like a hotshot again.

Fujisawa-san, you don't hit very hard, huh?

Ow...

Nobody will show sympathy even if you weep.

What are you saying, now?

Hey.

Hand me the soy sauce.

Thanks.

Obedience won't get you fed.

Stop mumbling.

I'll get stronger...

I'll get stronger!

Thanks to everyone's support, Kazama Holdings

has become very successful in several industries.

However, my personal interest lies in social welfare.

Chairman Kazama Sadao

I want to save others from misfortune.

I want to create a society filled with love and happiness.

I would like to devote my life to making my childhood dream come true.

Such desires are building up inside me everyday.

Excuse me, Chairman.

It's time for your next appointment.

All right.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you.

What a shady-looking guy.

I should dig up his background.

Tomorrow. Same time, same place.

Please cancel my meeting tomorrow

with the head of the Economic Association.

Yes, sir.

Natsuo is cute.

What?!

Natsuo is cute!

No way! How?

I like guys who try hard.

What? He's just out of his mind.

"Oink," remember?

A pig?

Yeah.

He's trying hard.

As hard as he can.

Don't give up, Natsuo.

I can't do what you did.

Imitating a pig?

Why did you do that?

You want money that badly?

You're the same as me.

You want money, so you begged me for a job here.

You want money, so you got on all fours in front of everyone.

I did it as your best friend.

It made you look good in front of the guys, right?

I just want to hel—

Stop trying to act cool!

Give me money, then!
