-Protein. -Retsuko, my beloved disciple.
Protein.
I have nothing more to teach you.
Protein.
The only thing left…
Protein!
…is for you to defeat me!
RAGE
This is the last box.
Thanks. Could you open the boxes?
-Sure. -Will do.
-Who could that be? -Probably the electric company.
No way! Already?
Yes? Coming!
It's absurd.
Why should the victim have to move?
There's no way around it.
The previous place can be found online.
Someone like you might connect the dots.
I'd definitely figure it out.
Moving here was a good idea.
The store below keeps it bright at night.
Even if someone tries to stalk her--
She's lost it.
If they do this
then do this, and twist this.
Now you can't move. Aren't my self-defense skills great?
Ouch! Okay! I get it!
Retsuko! Go on! Break it!
"FUWA FUWA" PERFORMED BY OTMGIRLS
As I'm heading out of class And I look up to the sky
I hear so many voices
I'll be leaving soon.
You've got this, right?
Sure.
I haven't had that much fun in a while.
I had fun too.
Listen up, your five-year crush ends today.
Be a man and step up to the plate.
Thanks for today.
I was a bit scared, so I'm glad you walked me home.
I could keep doing it for a while.
Only if you want me to.
Really? You don't mind?
Yeah. Not at all.
Thanks.
By the way--
Haida!
Want to come in?
I'll make coffee.
Well, that would help sober me up. Sure, why not?
She was kind enough to ask.
I can't drink coffee.
What? You drink it all the time at work.
I did before, but I can't anymore.
How about tea?
No!
I'm going home.
I gave you your chance, you idiot!
I promised to keep walking her home for a while.
That's good.
Tsunoda says it's best to show your secret intentions.
What? No! I'm just worried about Retsuko!
ACCOUNTING
We're not getting a bonus this quarter!
What?
I budgeted assuming my bonus would pay the mortgage!
Why is this happening?
I didn't realize no bonus would hurt my motivation so much.
We should go on strike! Yeah!
Anai looks excited.
He's hoping for a fight with management.
Company performance has fallen recently.
He's drinking coffee.
CONFERENCE ROOM
No one dreams anymore, which is exactly why we need to dream big!
-Great, President! -Exactly!
Building our massive theme park, Chararyman Land,
is becoming a reality!
I visited the plot in Chiba.
How was it?
Nothing but good feelings!
Great, President!
Yes! This year we'll stake the company's future on this!
Performance is down because you keep gambling with the company's fate.
President!
Should that ax kick go in the minutes?
Who cares?
What did you do to the president?
I agree with her.
The proposed site is hard to get to.
We'd also need to develop the surrounding area
to secure enough visitors.
Costs would far exceed initial estimates.
And the theme park market is saturated in Japan.
The President was upset, but he canceled the project.
If there's anyone he can trust, it's Himuro.
The rest of them are yes-men.
That man is impressive.
He deserves a better role than non-executive director.
That's enough shoptalk.
Tell us, Retsuko, how are things progressing with Haida?
There's nothing to progress.
He's been walking you home, right?
That means he's your white knight!
Such a romantic development!
And you're saying nothing is going on?
There really is nothing!
Okay, I'm going home. I have to get up early. I'm going home.
I'm going home! Okay, then. I'm going home!
He's all about going home.
He always comes up with an excuse.
-Any casual advances? -None.
Holding hands on the way home?
Never.
-What's the deal? -I don't know!
That's odd. My app shows him as your ideal partner. Look.
That app.
What's that reaction?
That app failed to monetize, right?
What does that matter?
It doesn't matter what AI thinks.
What's important are Retsuko's feelings.
