GRAB
This can't be…
VIRUS
A cold?
OPEN
SLAM
POUR
Sorry, but…
I won't let that happen!
Do you know who you're messing with?
BEEP
What? You've gotta be kidding.
Staying up late,
not dressing warm, dry air indoors…
There's no one to blame but yourself.
Ginger and lemon.
Cool it a little,
then add that vitamin-packed honey.
This'll warm up my body.
Got your weapons ready, gang?
-Yeah!
-Yeah!
Now for the humidifier
and Miku's facial steamer!
STEAM
This prevents dryness.
To be doubly sure,
drink some cold medicine
and rest!
Hey, c'mon then, do you want some?
What?
It went up?
BAM
I can still…
COLLAPSE
…still…
fight back…
WHITE BLOOD CELLS
-Stop this!
-Huh?
Fighting will not solve anything.
Light…
Oh, are you awake?
Oh, so cold.
Miku…
I was worried about you.
You were on the floor when I got home.
This much is nothing.
I'll get dinner--
SMACK
Just get some rest.
Want something to eat?
Yeah.
Something to drink.
I made this for you just now by
whizzing up all the veggies in the fridge.
-I put supplements in too.
-What?
Here.
RISE
I'm better.
How do you feel, Tacchan?
Oh, just a bit of a stomachache.
EPISODE 50
Happy New Year.
Thanks. Happy New Year.
It's New Year and I'm totally broke.
Oh, right!
I'll go and get
my New Year's money gift from Boss!
Boss, I'll be collecting that swag now!
DING DONG
NEW YEARS
Happy New Year.
-What's that you have on?
-Oh, it's from this.
Some goods I picked up on a raid.
An apron lucky bag
from the New Year's sale.
Things are looking cushy for you already!
I'm so jealous.
You can have this if you want.
Nah, I'm good.
Masa, Happy New Year!
Thank you, ma'am!
We were doing
our first calligraphy of the year.
Wow, it really feels like New Years.
Wanna write something?
Oh, is that okay?
All right.
NO MONEY
What the hell is that?
Jeez, did I mess up?
You have to write
your hopes for this year.
I see.
RUMBLE
I'm a bit broke at the moment,
so it can't be helped, I guess…
-Come with me.
-Here we go!
BASH
BASH
Glad I borrowed this gear
from the landlord.
Wow, that mochi looks delicious!
I would swap it for cash though!
I understand, Masa.
Of course, I haven't forgotten.
The brown powder.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
SMACK
SMACK
Whoa, good shot, Masa!
Hey Boss, you know what happens
when you lose, right?
Tsk. Okay, go ahead then.
WHERE'S MY MONEY?
Finished yet?
Run!
SMACK
Man, I've gone and dropped it!
I dropped it 'coz I'm so weak…
It's 'coz I'm so poor!
Hold it properly, why don't you?
It's hard when you don't have any money!
You would drop it too, Boss,
if you were poor.
Look at these, uh, seven or eight people.
All of them are rich.
Bet they would give out cash for New Year…
Look, hand it over. I'll carry it.
No, hold on.
-What the hell? Let go.
-I don't want to.
Oh, it's Tatsu.
Oh, Ryota.
Happy New Year, Tatsu.
Happy New Year.
Hey, little man,
you going kite flying too?
No, we've got a drone.
So high-tech!
My dad and I are flying it over there.
Whoa.
Oh, yeah, Ryota.
It's not much,
but here's your New Year's money gift.
What? Hooray!
Thank you so much!
SINK
What about me?
Where's my New Year's money?
NEW YEARS
Here you are.
Local Sake Fair?
Didn't know they do
this sort of thing here.
Looks interesting.
It's at a couple of places.
Here's the place.
Oh look, it's all happening here!
Table for three?
Sure.
This one is Matsu no Tsuyu.
It uses spring water
found 120 meters underground.
It's pure rice wine
with regionally sourced rice.
Hey, this is the real deal, it hasn't got
any of that other stuff mixed in.
Wow, Boss, this is something else!
That mellow fragrance and sharp flavor…
SAKE
…cuts through like a samurai sword!
Would you like to try this one as well?
Oh, yes, please.
Hey, ma'am,
I think you've had a bit too much…
Masa, are you still drinking?
-Here you go.
-Oh, thanks.
SPLASH
Hey, Boss, help me out…
SNORE
Sleeping with his eyes open?
It's a snot bubble!
Boss, please stay with us.
STOMP
The Steelfist Tiger?
SOB
I spilled it.
-I spilled it and it's all my fault!
-No, look, it's fine.
Why don't you calm down?
Boss?
Drink some water and clear your head!
That's sake!
This is bad.
Boss is also drunk.
Ugh, I don't wanna deal with this.
SLIP
My… chopsticks…
It's fine, you can ask for new ones.
My chopsticks!
Excuse me,
another pair of chopsticks, please!
What happened?
Chopsticks!
Is it that funny?
Boss.
Masa…
I'll…
leave the rest to you…
SNORE
Boss!
Sir, ma'am? Are you okay?
Excuse me,
I'm gonna vomit.
Toilets are over there!
THE NEXT MORNING…
SLURP
-That hits the spot…
-That hits the spot…
EPISODE 52
Right, so today,
let's make a chocolate cake.
-Okay!
-Yes, ma'am!
Do I need my dagger for this?
Who's this punk?
A normal knife is fine.
First, we will make the sponge.
Please chop up the chocolate.
RATATATATA
CRUSH
We'll melt the chocolate
at around 50 to 55 degrees.
Ouch! So hot!
Take it easy, you amateur!
You need to be delicate
when making sweets. Give it here--
SMACK
This is my chocolate cake.
Get your paws off of it.
BAM
Why?
Why does it never go well?
Hey, you.
Don't touch me!
You're disturbing
these honest-working folk.
Do you have a problem with me?
Why do you want to make a chocolate cake?
I want to give it to someone close
to convey my feelings.
I heard that
you give chocolates on this day.
Got a problem with that?
Listen…
Cooking is all about…
This. Your heart.
You gotta unload it all into that cake.
They won't know what hit 'em!
Uh, a direct shot
from my heart to their heart…
If you understand,
calm your ass down and get baking.
You don't hafta tell me!
I'll bake my heart into that cake!
DROP
SHUT
Man, I'd completely forgotten.
It's all about the heart.
Be delicate.
In a calm way.
From the heart…
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
How's that?
It's a bit messy, but…
MORAL CODE
Gotta thank you…
What the hell?
Who is this guy?
I swear I've seen him before…
Get 'em straight in the heart, man.
Yeah…
KUNIMI BUSINESS OFFICE
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
Please… accept this.
Boss!
Hirono.
Happy Valentine's Day!
My first Valentine's chocolate this year…
Damn…
WOW, WHAT'S THIS?
We're just not able to save any money…
Anything my husband and I have,
we end up spending.
We don't know how to manage our finances.
Yuriko, you became a housewife
after getting married last year, right?
I heard you were having difficulties,
so I brought someone who can help.
You havin' money troubles, yeah?
I look after the household myself,
so I'll let you in
on some worthwhile hustle.
Is this guy Miku's husband?
Could he be a ya…
No… Probably not.
Do you have good stamina?
Huh? I'm not sure.
If you're fit, we can use that body
to make some money.
What?
My… body?
Matsuyo Supermarket
has sprouts and cabbages
and Heiwa Mart has
the cheapest udon and eggs!
-Draw a map and plan your shopping!
-Yes, sir!
Use those legs to save money!
God, that's quick.
Welcome back.
You okay?
You got a sweet deal there.
Yes.
The rest, we can do inside the house.
I'll show you some hustle
involving water now.
Um, water?
SCRUB
Save water when washing dishes!
Scrub and rinse all of them together!
SHOWER
Install a water-saving shower head!
I'm getting wet.
SQUEAK
Tighten the toilet water valve a bit.
The essence of saving is
being aware of all these little things.
If you want to aim a bit higher though,
we have to get cutting.
Do you mean, cutting my fing…
I don't think I can…
Come here!
Tacchan… Wait a minute!
Get a notebook for your accounts
and cut the fat from
your living expenses and fixed costs.
I'm so not good at this.
Jeez, I don't know
if I can keep all of this going.
You need to set a goal.
For example, take a day off
from drinking canned coffee.
Or go to the sea once a year.
The sea?
Trying to save all the time
can build up stress, right?
So there is one method
that will get you high.
Give yourself little rewards as motivation
to keep up your efforts.
Yeah, that might just work!
See, it's not all bad, is it?
Saving, huh? Sounds hard.
Ten gacha pulls.
No… Better not.
What's this?
I'm looking at my husband's card usage.
There was a really big withdrawal.
I don't recall using that much.
I wonder what it is.
Well that's something for you
to talk about privately.
Both of you must be serious
in this hustle, or it'll fail.
You'll have to find out what it was.
I'm back.
Yuriko, do we have guests?
Nice to meet you.
I've been telling your missus
about how to hustle some savings.
Hustle?
Oh, you're Miku's husband.
I see.
That money is… Actually…
Well…
Uh…
It's almost our wedding anniversary,
so I thought I'd get my wife
something nice.
What?
Yuzuru!
Sorry I suspected you.
I'm so happy, Yuzuru.
It's okay.
It's my fault for keeping quiet.
Oh, what a cute bracelet!
Hey, don't open it yet.
I made dinner reservations too.
No way, that's amazing.
-We'll be off.
-We'll be off.
SPECIAL PICK UP GACHA
COBALT POLICE COOKING STYLE
SINGLE PULL, 10 PULLS
Oh, no, I'm gonna be late.
I'm Miku and I'm 26 years old!
I'm an office worker
who loves manga and games!
I'm gonna do my best at work today!
SPARKLE
POW
Help me, woof!
The earth is in peril, woof!
Something came down from the sky?
Ma-fia came down and attacked,
and the head of the Nin-kyo
was killed, woof.
At this rate,
the world will be in Ma-fia's clutches.
-Please help--
-I understand.
I'll do it!
That didn't take long!
SWISH
There you are.
Now give it up!
-It's the Ma-fia head, woof!
-What?
This is bad.
Let's fall back for now, woof!
GRAB
There's no use escaping.
-Give me the transformation item quickly!
-Oh, already?
Okay, here it is then…
Good.
Star Miracle Pretty Change!
Wow.
I can feel the power bursting out!
I'd give it 64 points.
What?
It needs several improvements.
First, what's the concept behind this?
Uh, a magical girl, I think.
Hmm, that's a little vague…
You have these
symbolic elements put together,
but I don't see the overall concept.
Um… Right
How exactly do you want to market this?
I do like the material
for these frills, though.
What are you two chattering about?
SLAP
Don't you know the protocol?
How long have you been doing this job?
First, I do the whole power up thing,
then you come in with your deadly moves.
Then I'll react accordingly.
So tell me,
what is this show's target audience?
I…
If it's for children,
then you shouldn't have yakuza appear.
The parents would be shocked.
Don't worry. I know you can do it!
We can make this project work!
So let's look at the areas
we can improve on
and reconvene
for another meeting next week…
