Copy !req
13. Just what I needed!
Copy !req
14. Thanks for stopping me,
I almost lost a lot of money.
Copy !req
15. You won't last in this job
if you get mad at something like that.
Copy !req
16. I much prefer the mascot uniform.
It's better than doing weird cosplay.
Copy !req
17. Is the pay different?
Copy !req
18. Cosplay is 100 yen more.
Copy !req
19. A little while back,
Copy !req
20. I was a cheerleader
at a home supplies shop in Ibaraki.
Copy !req
21. - For real?
- It was under the table.
Copy !req
22. The train fare alone was 2,000 yen.

Copy !req
25. No, it's 750 yen. Including tax.
Copy !req
26. Really?
Copy !req

Copy !req
32. - Really?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
33. I haven't seen
a coffin-shaped piggy bank in ages.
Copy !req
34. It's for my winnings at the horse track.
Copy !req
35. It sure is hard to save money.
Copy !req
36. Your part-time job is rough, right?
Copy !req
37. It's a job where you don't need
to prove your identity, right?
Copy !req
38. It must be a rough group you work with.
Copy !req
39. But not the girl you're talking about?
Copy !req
40. Yeah... she's super hard-working,
Copy !req
41. almost as if
this job is the only thing she's got.
Copy !req
42. You make gratin so rarely!
Copy !req
43. There was a sale on macaroni today.
Copy !req
44. Try it.
Copy !req
45. It's delicious!
Copy !req
46. - It's warming me up!
- Hot!
Copy !req
47. By the way, Master,
Copy !req
48. how's this year's crab?
Copy !req
49. It should be soon.
Copy !req
50. My friend... is getting me some good ones.
Copy !req
51. I'm so excited!
Copy !req
52. I've got an idea, Gen.
Copy !req
53. Why don't you bring her here?
Copy !req
54. I'm sure she'd love to try Master's food.
Copy !req
55. That's true.
Copy !req
56. Yes!
Copy !req
57. This tempura is much better
than the ones you can find out there.
Copy !req
58. Do you have any more of these?
Copy !req
59. I gave them all away.
I'll bring some next time.
Copy !req
60. Here you go, fried udon.
Copy !req
61. When did I turn into a son-in-law?
Copy !req
62. What do you mean?
Copy !req
63. I showed Saori how to make soba,
and my mom said hers was better than mine.
Copy !req
64. Is it that different?
Copy !req
65. No, I think it's just a matter of taste.
Copy !req
66. But, in fact, some customers have asked
for Saori's soba instead of mine.
Copy !req
67. Our deliveries have even gone up.
Copy !req
68. Why's she so popular?
Copy !req
69. Your mother's happy about it, right?
Copy !req
70. She's calling Saori her "next-in-line."
Copy !req
71. You've been replaced!
Copy !req
72. I'm supposed to take over the business,
but now I've lost my motivation.

Copy !req
77. - You know it?
- No...
Copy !req
78. I don't...
Copy !req
79. Let's go, then. My treat.
Copy !req
80. - Aren't you hungry?
- I am.
Copy !req
81. You are? Then let's go.
Copy !req
82. Are you cold?
Copy !req
83. No, I think I caught a cold.
Copy !req
84. Here you go.
Copy !req
85. Master, this is the girl
I was telling you about.
Copy !req
86. Nori-chan.
Copy !req
87. Cheers.
Copy !req
88. Cheers.
Copy !req
89. Shall I turn up the heat?
Copy !req

He can make almost anything.
Copy !req
92. What do you want?
Copy !req
93. - I'll have...
- Stewed meat and potatoes, right?
Copy !req
94. It's been a while.
Copy !req
95. What?
Copy !req
96. - What is it?
- A few years ago,
Copy !req
97. this girl was involved in a marriage scam
with her older sister.
Copy !req
98. One of my customers fell victim to them.
Copy !req
99. I've served a three-year sentence.
Copy !req
100. I meant to come sooner, but...
Copy !req
101. And your sister?
Copy !req
102. After getting out of jail,
she went back to Hokkaido.
Copy !req
103. I never imagined it was you
Gen was talking about.
Copy !req
104. Try my stewed meat and potatoes.
You haven't had it for a while.
Copy !req
105. Thank you.
Copy !req
106. Wow...
Copy !req
107. It hasn't changed at all.
Copy !req
108. This is it!
Copy !req
109. You've served your time,
so you don't need to be embarrassed.
Copy !req
110. Do you have any other work?
Copy !req
111. I tried everywhere,
Copy !req
112. but the three-year gap
in my résumé is hard to explain.
Copy !req
113. Write whatever, then.
Copy !req
114. I don't want to lie anymore.
Copy !req
115. I've already hurt enough people.
Copy !req
116. Master, shochu and oolong tea, please.
Copy !req
117. Sure.
Copy !req
118. Ready?
Copy !req
119. The key is snapping.
You have to tense up your wrist.
Copy !req
120. Shall we try farther away?
Copy !req
121. Excuse me. Sorry.
Copy !req
122. Ready?
Copy !req
123. Don't give me that.
Why are you skipping work?
Copy !req
124. I wanted some fried udon.
Copy !req
125. - Are you busy?
- Isn't that obvious?
Copy !req
126. You and my mom
will do just fine without me.
Copy !req
127. What? Are you pouting?
Copy !req
128. Maybe it would've been better
if we didn't get together.
Copy !req
129. Excuse me.
Copy !req
130. What a child!
Copy !req
131. It's Christmas Eve, and all customers
who purchase a cake worth over 2,000 yen
Copy !req
132. will be given a free macaron
of your choice!
Copy !req
133. Did you buy your cake?
Copy !req
134. Thank you very much!
Copy !req
135. We should get going.
Copy !req
136. - Good night.
- Good night.
Copy !req
137. Excuse me!
Copy !req
138. Yes?
Copy !req
139. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
140. I have good news and bad news.
Which would you like to hear first?
Copy !req
141. Neither.
Copy !req
142. The bad news is you caught my eye.
Copy !req
143. That was unlucky.
Copy !req
144. But the good news will make you
forget all about that.
Copy !req
145. I saw the way you were working.
Copy !req
146. In a world where most people
are cruel and unthoughtful,
Copy !req
147. I see a golden halo...
Copy !req
148. glowing around your head.
Copy !req
149. Do you want to be a model?
Copy !req
150. I'm absolutely sure
that you would be a success.
Copy !req
151. Do you really think
I would fall for something like—
Copy !req
152. Let me give you...
Copy !req
153. your contract fee.
Copy !req
154. - What are you doing?
- Yes?
Copy !req
155. - Who are you?
- I'm...
Copy !req
156. What's this?
Copy !req
157. Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Copy !req
158. Stop it!
Copy !req
159. What are you doing?
Copy !req
160. Let's go, Nori-chan.
Copy !req
161. Hey!
Copy !req
162. Don't touch it! Go away!
Copy !req
163. I knew it was a scam, but...
Copy !req
164. when I saw the money
I couldn't control myself.
Copy !req
165. I'm so embarrassed.
Copy !req
166. I have a record, too.
Copy !req
167. I've served time.
Copy !req
168. We need to take care of ourselves, right?
Copy !req
169. Yes.
Copy !req
170. It's a little early, but...
Copy !req
171. here's a Christmas present.
Copy !req
172. For both of you.
Copy !req
173. Are you sure?
Copy !req
174. By "present," you mean it's free, right?
Copy !req
175. Let me know if you want more.
There are lots.
Copy !req
176. Let's dig in, then!
Copy !req
177. Thank you!
Copy !req
178. Delicious.
Copy !req
179. What's this?
Copy !req
180. This is the real deal!
Copy !req
181. Master, it's amazing!
Copy !req
182. This is free, right?
Copy !req
183. Welcome, welcome!
Copy !req
184. Japanese! Japanese!
Traditional goods. Very lucky.
Copy !req
185. You can choose anything you like.
Copy !req
186. They're great for souvenirs!
Copy !req
187. - Must buy. Must buy.
- Must buy.
Copy !req
188. Thank you very much!
Copy !req
189. - Happy New Year!
- How much?
Copy !req
190. What's it called again?
Copy !req
191. That scam where men
show off a bunch of money
Copy !req
192. to fool women into selling themselves?
Copy !req
193. The soul-snatching scam.
Copy !req
194. SOUL-SNATCHING SCAM = SOUL SCAM
Copy !req
195. That's where that other scam
was busted two years ago.
Copy !req
196. You think scam artists
always use the same locations?
Copy !req
