Buddy Daddies

Buongiorno!

Go on.

The boss will see you.

Three pizzas for special delivery, if you please.

Hey! Ram that guy!

R-Right!

Did we lose him?

Did you set me up?!

Of course not!

Hey! Run him over!

Hey!

Sorry, there's been a change of destination.

Wh-Who hired you?

C'mon, man.

You know I'm not gonna tell you that.

We're professionals, same as you.

'Course, this interrogation stuff is usually too boring for me to bother with.

There're some folks who don't take too kindly to you tryin' to import fakes like these.

H-How much are they paying you?

I-I'll double it! Just name your price!

How's about you tell me how you smuggled these bad boys in?

You can take all the jewels!

Plus as much cash as you like!

Please!

Listen up, man, my friend's got a short fuse when it comes to bullshit.

If you're ever gonna talk, it'd better be now.

I... I've just been taking orders on this!

Good call, bud.

Yes? Can I help you?

Papa Kazuki,

Miri-chan's got a fever.

Could you come pick her up?

O-On my way!

Dude. You said she was fine when you dropped her off!

Oh... I guess her nose was running.

You son of a bitch!

Why didn't you say that earlier?!

You said we had to take this job.

Shove the excuses!

You think work's more important than our kid?

Do you?!

Huh?

Damn it!

You screwed up my whole plan again!

E-Excuse me...

Shut up!

It's none of your business. Butt out.

Well, I guess we'd better pick her up!

Let's go.

We're comin' for you, Miri!

Miri first came to live with me and Rei last December,

during a particular Christmas job...

Administration • Sales

Come see us for delicious chicken!

I'm back!

It's cold.

I made you dinner and left it in the fridge.

Why didn't you eat it?

It was cold.

You're supposed to nuke it.

I bought some tasty as hell mentaiko.

But you're a tarako man, aren't you?

I can't handle spicy food.

C'mon, spicy is awesome!

You're just a philistine.

Ow!

Hey!

Where'd you pick that up?

Why'd you bring it home?

How many times do we have to go over this?

Quit bringing home every stray you find out there.

You can't even take care of a ca—

Eh?

Healthy Kitten

You think buying pet food means you've taken care of a pet?

Listen, man.

It's way more than just feeding it.

You gotta bathe it, clean up its poop, keep an eye on its health...

I'm putting it back where you found it.

Huh?

Don't 'huh' me.

Tell me where you found it!

Couch-crasher.

Shut-in.

Potato Chips Lightly Salted

Traditional Cuisine Yamada

Okay, bud.

Find somebody normal to take care of you, huh?

Someone who'll love you, ideally.

See? Not too spicy like that, is it?

It's good, right?

It's decent.

You're so depressing to cook for.

I never asked you to.

Are you still mad about the cat?

Look, we're in a line of work that makes our futures uncertain.

We could end up on someone's shit list,

or dead in the middle of nowhere.

Bad stuff could happen to the people we drag into our lives, too.

Don't bring someone in if you're not gonna care for them, start to finish.

Our little one "can't wait to see Papa."

No more strays.

Got it?

And get the stuff ready for tomorrow.

We're working Christmas Eve!

Sure.

Welcome.

'Sup, Kyu-chan.

Here's the data I snagged from that girl.

Can you make me up a hotel ID in time?

I'll have it for you by tomorrow morning.

And I'll need things ready for that call, just in case.

Yeah, it'll be done.

And...

Here.

Rei's portion is in there, too.

Thank you!

Send that to the usual place.

I'll try...

But I don't think she'll be in the mood to take it.

No big deal.

Hey, Kazuki.

You still haven't moved past it?

Why not make a fresh start already?

Hey, Kazu-kun!

Carol-chan! Dorothy-chan!

What's up, babe? All alone on Christmas Eve?

You're not even gonna stop in?

I mean, we just did it the other day...

Aw, no fun!

Come join us for a while.

We'll make it extra-special for Christmas.

What a deal!

Santa's got something sexy in the sack for me, eh?

Go, go!

Come on, come on!

All right!

Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it!

Come see us again soon!

Thank you, Papa!

Just make sure you do more than play games all day, okay?

Okay!
