Do you like me?
Um, well...
I like you, Haida.
RAGE
Hey.
So, you couldn't tell her you like her, huh?
Yeah.
She probably found Retsuko's handkerchief on the sink, worked out she'd been there,
and was deeply hurt.
This is a red card right here.
This is the result of you flip-flopping over your feelings for Retsuko.
I don't know what to say.
Don't you think a red card is a bit harsh?
Huh, what are you doing here?
Love Police, reporting for duty.
I think he's fine, although he does deserve a yellow card.
Wait, Inui said the same thing.
"It's fine for now."
Inui said that? What's that supposed to mean?
In other words,
it's a tricky situation in which neither knows where the other stands.
It's one step before an official relationship.
PROVISIONAL CONTRACT
However, the time just before becoming official
is the most enjoyable of all,
full of hopes for the future and the essence of love!
-Get it? -No.
You wouldn't.
While savoring these sweet moments, Inui was proactive and took charge,
leading you to the next stage.
Wait, she led me?
Did you think you were leading?
I did.
I bet you did.
Now we get to your half-hearted behavior.
Inui thinks, "Geez, he's hopeless. I'm not getting anywhere."
So she changed her plans and threw a straight ball.
"Do you like me?" There. That's where we are.
Do you understand what that means?
Huh... It means she's fed up with Haida, right?
Wrong.
She wants to be with Haida no matter what.
Aw, Inui is so adorable!
Do you understand?
Why are you asking me?
-How did I do? -So good!
-How was that? -So good!
Shut up!
You're disturbing the neighbors. Be quiet.
But we were only having a death voice battle.
That's all.
"Death voice"? What's that?
-You don't know? -Lame.
This is death voice. See?
Super cute, right?
We're practicing what we learned from this video.
She's being secretive about it, but she's obviously from OTM.
I think we're the only ones in Saitama that have picked up on it.
What's this OTM thing?
-You don't know? -Lame.
They're only the sickest idol group around right now!
In a dark underground Cut off from all light
Covering up the wound That’s been gouged at
Everyone must go on up a lonely path Of being different
Go where that voice reaches someone
Even if the light Is just a little blinding
I’ll show you a word that is different From all that you know
Hear my prayers, grant my desires I promise I won’t be a spoiled brat
Let me be that one speck of a miracle
You knew?
ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT
Both of my daughters share a rather peculiar hobby.
Recently, they've become hooked on underground idols.
They seem to be fans of yours.
158 yen, 125 yen,
490 yen.
That will be 1,139 yen.
Manaka.
Yes?
It's been a while, but I took a look at OTM's account today.
You've gained a lot of followers.
You seem rather popular.
Yeah, fortunately.
So does that mean
you're going to quit once you can make a living being an idol?
Well, we've still got a long way to go before that happens.
Oh? So you'll stay on here then?
Yeah.
But there will come a time when you have to choose.
I suppose so.
You can go on break now. I have to place some orders.
All right.
I'm going on break, then.
ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT
Huh?
Debt?
Yes.
How much?
I owed 200,000 yen to the driver I hit.
But it's a lot less now.
You should consult me about these things when they happen.
I'm sorry.
I'll cover it for you.
How much is left?
What? Uh...
You can't quit because you owe him money, right?
Isn't it better to pay it off and quit as soon as possible?
How much?
It's just...
Resolving my money problem won't really change anything.
What?
They're my friends, and we're doing our best to achieve our dreams.
Look, let's not get the wrong idea here.
This is a company.
I don't know a thing about your friends and I don't care to.
Which is your main job?
My accounting job at this company.
And is falling asleep at work part of your main job?
Quit acting like a spoiled brat.
I bet you're enjoying life right now.
You may feel reborn after finding a new place to fit in,
but you have nowhere to run.
Debts pile up before you know it
and debt collectors will come knocking.
Will you be able to handle that?
You'll have to make a choice eventually. What will you do then?
I...
When the time comes, I'll...
MANAKA
Hey, what are you doing? We aren't finished here.
When the time comes, I'll give you my two weeks.
Hey, wait.
Please excuse me. I have a private matter to attend to.
Hey, manager?
Have you seen the OTM account?
You mean our official account?
I saw it this morning. I updated our concert information.
Not the official one, the fake one.
You remember that fake account, right?
Ah, right, yes.
Hurry up and check it out.
Sorry, got to go. A customer came in.
MANAKA, MIGGY, HIDARIN. A TRIO BASED IN TOKYO!
Hey.
The curry from the other day was delicious.
Did you put it in the fridge after it cooled down?
Yeah, I did.
Good.
About the other day... I'm sorry.
I think it's just a timing problem.
It happens sometimes. It is what it is.
I'm also to blame for not being clear.
The girl who came to your place is from Accounting, isn't she?
I'm sorry, I acted like a child.
I'll think it over carefully.
Please do.
And try to be quick.
I've asked for it to be deleted.
However,
it's best to assume people will figure out your address.
What do you mean?
People with nothing better to do might find your address and post it online.
What's more, the person who took the photo already knows it.
Right.
But I have an auto-lock, so I'll be fine as long as I'm careful.
They're probably just an avid fan and don't mean to be malicious.
Not a chance! They're a hella nasty sleazebag!
-Language, Manaka. -Language, Manaka.
Harassment. Stalkers.
Some outrageous things have been done to idols.
It may be uncomfortable, but--
I'm fine.
Huh?
This isn't a big deal.
This is where I'm meant to be.
Okay, please step back.
Please follow our instructions and do not rush.
Follow the rules and shake hands in order!
You gave me the will to live!
Thank you.
Oh my gosh, I just love you so much. I can't believe it!
Thank you for your support.
The people who come here
are genuinely happy to shake hands with me.
They look at me with sparkles in their eyes.
Every single one of them is so warmhearted.
100 tickets.
A hundred?
Um, one handshake ticket gives you three seconds, so...
100 tickets equals 300 seconds.
Wow, that's a lot.
I'm a big fan of yours.
Oh, um... Thank you very much.
Miss Aggretsuko?
Yes?
You're not as aggressive as people say, are you?
Excuse me?
Well...
Your music isn't very novel and your lyrics are unintelligible.
To be honest, what you've mistaken for expression,
I don't believe merits much comment.
If I may be so bold, I believe that you are simply pining for attention.
You're a simpleton and a letdown. A paltry piece of trash.
You're a bloodsucking machine that extorts money from fans,
and an arrogant hag who thinks she gives her fans dreams and the will to live.
As a fan, I cannot help but feel pity.
Only 30 seconds?
Five minutes is a long time, isn't it?
