Original subtitles

Underground idol group Baku-on Angels' Coco

is actually my high school classmate.

She had a breakdown because of a terrifying stalker.

Good night.

Coco talked to me about it, so I introduced her to Mr Akechi.

Mr Akechi became her bodyguard

and we all stayed at Mr Akechi's office.

The person who reached out to Coco is...

Kill him.

You're an angel that can make many people smile.

Are you okay? Call an ambulance!

Cancel today's concert! Don't let the audience in!

Send his vomit to forensics!

Was he poisoned?

Akechi, you were pretty shaken up at that time...

when we didn't know if it was an accident or not.

What do you know?

I have a duty of confidentiality.

There's nothing I can tell the police.

The guy, Tabata,

is called Lucifer by some fans.

There's an account under the same name on a social media site.

"Die, burgundy suit guy!

Don't go near Coco-meow!

Out of my way, Curly Hair!

Showa period's withered pampas grass."

He even uploaded a photo of you.

You wanted to kill him because he went too far?

This is absurd.

Akechi...

If you were to be put into a coffin tomorrow,

what will be your last supper tonight?

I'll order the special pork chop cutlet rice bowl at Imura-an

in Takazawa Shopping Street, near my home.

They don't do deliveries though.

Mr Katono!

Here you are! Was he poisoned or drugged?

I got the result of his blood test!

It wasn't overdose of sleeping pills or aspirins.

No bacteria in question were detected,

so it probably wasn't caused by infection.

What? What about the vomit?

I got the result.

There is nothing unusual!

What? That's absurd!

Anyway, Mr Akechi is innocent!

Oh, what a pity.

I thought I could have Imura-an's pork chop cutlet rice bowl.

I was looking forward to it.

Blimey! The guy cried wolf.

Nice to meet you. Miss Ringo, I presume.

I'm Reizoko.

The lady who chopped her husband up!

Hey...

You survive miraculously from the rubbish shredder.

Thanks for the other day.

Ms Maria has told me about your good work.

I'm going to join you now,

and I look forward to working with you.

- Same here. - Thank you.

I couldn't sleep last night.

Somehow...

I was excited.

"Edogawa Detective Office"

Welcome back.

The girls have left for now.

I see.

Ichigou.

Will you make me some tea?

Yes.

Did the stalker really die?

He's unconscious, but he's alive.

- He's alive? - Yes.

Oh, thank goodness!

I thought Coco did something...

What a relief! I was just overthinking.

No.

It probably isn't overthinking.

You heard what she said, right?

I was an angel held captive,

but the heart of my true self has just been set free!

If something within her has awakened...

To be precise,

if someone caused it to awaken...

Could it be Maria?

So far, Maria has been killing people like a performance.

If Maria is involved behind the scenes,

how did she kill the stalker?

No, it can't be! Coco wouldn't be brainwashed by Maria...

Ichigou, you taught her how to cook yesterday, didn't you?

Yes, but what's the matter with that?

Was there anything wrong with her?

No, I don't think so.

What's this?

It isn't mine. That bin is for incombustible waste, right?

I throw away bottles as recyclable waste.

The last time you used this kitchen was when you cooked with her?

Yes, but Mr Akechi, Coco can't be a murderer!

Did you put mushrooms in the spaghetti yesterday?

No.

Mr Akechi...

Stay here.

Room 512's Mr Tabata has regained consciousness.

- Thank goodness. - Yes.

- His condition is stable too. - Yeah?

"Minami Aoyama General Hospital"

Mr Tabata?

Please wake up.

Miss Coco is worried about you.

Coco-meow...

Am I too late?

Oh, Mr Detective?

Maria...

Please mind your head.

What a surprise.

He really has recovered.

Just as what Ms Maria told us.

Congratulations on your hospital discharge.

Okay, let's go back to where Coco is.

Where Coco-meow is?

Is Saint Mary the one whom the beautiful angel waits on?

No.

It's the formidable evil woman, Maria.

If you were to be killed tomorrow,

what would be the last thing you eat?

"Episode 8"

Where is Tabata?

He's woken up, so he made the needed arrangements and left.

Where did you bring him?

What are you talking about?

At my office's kitchen,

I found a piece of white mushroom.

It's Amanita virosa, right?

The mushroom has another name.

Despite its deadly poison,

it has a white, beautiful appearance.

In Europe, it's called Destroying Angel,

an angel that kills.

Isn't it the perfect name for Coco?

I'll ask again.

Where is Tabata?

You're pretty desperate.

Are you making so much effort

for the cute owner of the bento food truck?

Well, naturally,

the girl will be sad if her friend becomes a murderer.

Answer me, Maria!

I don't like this.

I hate it when you look so restless and desperate for that girl.

Just answer me.

Do you think I will?

Mr Detective...

I've made up my mind.

The next one I'll kill...

is the bento food truck's young lady.

Right in front of your eyes.

Coco...

Welcome back.

Where have you been?

You suddenly ran out and I was worried.

Mr Akechi.

I want to know the truth.

Did Coco really...

Call her here.

- You mean now? - Ichigou.

Are you prepared to know the truth?

What do you want to talk about?

I think I should tell you about the stalker.

He regained consciousness and was discharged from hospital.

I see.

So, Coco...

Where did you go before the rehearsal yesterday?

Were you going to kill the stalker?

I got it wrong, didn't I? You didn't do that, right?

You got nothing wrong.

I fed that guy poisonous pasta to punish him.

Then when you suddenly said you wanted to learn how to cook...

Yes.

I guess just some poisonous mushroom can't kill a person.

But...

I feel a bit relieved somewhere in my mind,

because as an idol, if I become a murderer,

it'll be over for Baku-on Angels.

Coco...

I'm afraid...

the main dish has just been served.

It was left in the drain.

You added it to the pasta and let the stalker eat it, right?

It's called Destroying Angel,

the most fatal poisonous mushroom among Japan's wild mushrooms.

Just one mushroom can kill an adult.

Symptoms of poisoning appear in a few hours after ingestion,

but they subside within one day.

But what comes after is the dreadful part.

Seven days after you think it's cured, the poison will take effect.

The victim will vomit dark red blood,

writhe in severe pain,

and eventually die.

Seven days later.

But he was sent to the hospital and he was treated!

Simple treatments like stomach pumping are pointless.

He can only wait for his death.

Oh, no...

Everything goes as Maria wishes.

Ms Maria...

said we'll kill that guy for the sake of our dream.

She said I was an angel who could make many people smile.

Coco!

You were incited by Maria

and committed a crime that can't be undone!

No! The jerk deserves to die!

The stalker will probably be hidden somewhere for seven days

and wait for his death, as you wish.

Then his body will be destroyed without a trace.

If no dead body is found, the murder won't be found out.

If there's no murder, the police won't take action!

However, do remember this.

You murdered someone.

But from now on, you'll pretend to be an angel

and continue to be an idol?

Coco, let's go to tell the police.

You can still turn over a new leaf.

After all, you were only manipulated by Maria!

Tell me.

A murderer can't be an idol?

Who says that?

The person...

who really saved me and our dream

isn't you, Ichigo.

It's Ms Maria.

- Wait! - It's no use.

It's too late now.

Your friend...

isn't in this world anymore.

Will Coco-meow really come to this place?

Yeah, in seven days.

Seven days?

Coco will quit being an idol for you

and she wants a quiet life here with you.

Of course, it's just you and her.

Eh?

In the coming seven days, we'll take turns to look after you.

He might not look it, but he is a French chef.

You'll be served delicious food.

Seven days...

I've made the meal for you today.

Your stomach is empty, you must be hungry.

This is vegetable pot-au-feu, it's easy to digest.

Excuse me, you are Coco-meow's...

Siblings.

Siblings?

You all are?

Yes, we're all her siblings. We don't look alike at all though.

Try it while it's still hot.

Thank you...

So, the arrogant monster

meets his last seven days.

The angels begin to pursue their dream again

like nothing had happened.

The world belongs to only you and me.

"Ichigo Deli"

Hey, Ichigou Kobayashi.

Mr Akechi...

Actually, I cooked something, which is unusual for me.

So I'd like you to try it, chef.

Mr Akechi, you cooked?

Deep frying it to make it crunchy is quite difficult,

so please give me some tips.

You know...

the deep-fried chikuwa wrapped in seaweed

made by the bento food truck near my office is my favourite.

I won't get tired of eating it every day,

no matter how horrible a case might be.

Eating the deep-fried chikuwa strangely calms my heart.

To me, this dish is the only one in the world.

Mr Akechi...

I'm not used to making this, so maybe you won't like the taste.

I'll try it, then.

What do you think?

Not bad?

The taste is not bad, is it?

It's bad.

It's awful.

You can't cook at all,

I can't believe you've been nagging me about the dishes I make!

All right,

I'll make deep-fried chikuwa wrapped in seaweed

especially for you, as an example.

Ichigou Kobayashi.

It's "Ichigo."

I promised before to protect you.

I didn't want to tell you,

but Maria made it clear to me

that she'd kill you in front of my eyes.

You knew, as I thought.

Someday,

in front of Goro Akechi's eyes,

I'll kill you.

Maria said the same thing to me quite a while ago.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I...

Because I thought I would become a burden to you.

I have a suggestion.

Will you move in to my office, and live with me there?

Huh?

Eh? What...

Mr Akechi, I appreciate the offer, but...

I'm still not married,

can you be sure we won't do anything wrong if it's just us two?

I didn't say it's just you and me.

They're so heavy! I went to buy daily necessities and got here late.

Momoko, you too?

Mr Akechi told me what happened.

This is how I unexpectedly started

living under the same roof with Mr Akechi.

But...

I'm so bored.

Excuse me, Mr Akechi.

What's the matter?

I'll go buy something for lunch and supper at the supermarket.

What food ingredients do you want? I'll go and buy them.

No, thanks! I'll go myself.

What if someone suspicious talks to you?

I'm not a primary school girl.

You see who grows the vegetables at the supermarket,

but you can't see who is suspicious.

I see no rational reason for you to go shopping.

- Forget it, then. - Oh, also,

Ichigo Deli shouldn't do business for a while.

What?

It's too risky to let people see you all day at the roadside.

Come on!

I'll go to my usual supermarket to buy what you need for dinner.

It will take some time.

Eat what I have in the fridge for lunch.

He cares about you very much, Ichigo.

The premium grilled eel rice boxes have arrived!

"Shinsen Ichinoya"

Bon appetit...

Wow, thank you for buying ours too!

You came at the perfect time.

We're lucky! This is a reward for being upstanding.

Mr Akechi went out to buy something, but he'll be back soon.

We'll wait for him then, while eating this.

But Mr Akechi is so mean!

He doesn't allow me to go out at all, not even to the corner shop!

He's too overprotective, right?

That's bragging. You disgust me.

Mr Takahashi, you just don't know what a pain in the neck he is!

Mr Akechi got us everything we need,

but look at this T-shirt!

It's like he's lecturing me.

Ake-T? I'm jealous!

What makes you jealous?

Why do you have to hide like that?

Because of Maria!

Maria? Who is that?

Gosh!

- Do you know her, Takahashi? - No.

She is...

Well...

a troublemaker who appears from nowhere occasionally?

Sushi is here!

- Sushi too? - Sushi too?

We put it on Mr Akechi's tab! I'll open the door.

Coming!

Whoa! You startled me!

When... When did you come back?

I missed the right timing.

I heard "Ake-T? I'm jealous."

- Thanks for waiting. - Thank you.

Mr Katono, how can I help you?

Well, I thought I should apologise to you Mr Akechi,

because I treated you like a suspect.

Please sir...

I'll be his boss three years later, please forgive him for my sake.

Mind your own business!

Have you found Tabata after he went missing after that?

Well...

I have no idea where he is.

I see.

Well, Ichigo.

You always say he's overprotective, but you're happy, aren't you?

Mr Akechi is serious about protecting you.

Well, yeah.

A while ago, I said to you

that you should leave Mr Akechi.

But I take it back.

Don't leave his side.

Momoko?

Why don't you tell him frankly how you feel too?

Tell him you love him.

No...

It's impossible! There's no way I can say that!

Why?

Because...

I know...

Mr Akechi doesn't feel the same.

I wonder.

Oh, that's right!

I convinced him to let me open Ichigo Deli at lunchtime!

What should I make?

Thank you! Please come again.

Four daily special bentos, please.

Welcome! You came yesterday too, didn't you?

Somehow I've totally become a fan of your bento.

I'm so booming happy!

What's that?

"Booming happy" is top-class happy.

I rarely use "booming."

I'll prepare them now.

- Oh? You do catering service too? - Yes, I do.

In that case, I'll ask for your service.

Yes? Really?

I'll invite five, six friends over to hold a little party this weekend,

and I've been thinking about what food I should prepare.

Is it too sudden?

It's no problem at all.

But the place will be a bit far.

I'll drive this van straight to wherever you want!

How boomingly reliable you are!

Thanks for waiting.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Your 400 yen change.

Thank you for your purchase!

Blimey, the girl's head will rattle if she shakes it.

Her bentos are absolutely delicious though.

She does well for selling them at such reasonable prices.

Why?

I only allow you to do business at lunchtime.

I can take this opportunity to get more rich customers.

It's a chance to explore and develop catering service too!

She doesn't run a tab like you-know-who.

Such a wonderful customer likes me, I can't turn her down now!

I won't let you do business at lunchtime if you don't like this.

Momoko, say something!

Settle it by thumb wresting.

Good, I won't lose－

I won't do it!

I... I'm happy when people enjoy the dishes I make.

That's all I want!

Anyway, turn her down. Okay?

Fine! I'll turn her down, right?

Stupid stingy Akechi!

I'm making an effort!

Ah! Crisps thief!

"Akiba BOX"

"From 18:00, Baku-on Angels"

Thank goodness. Mr Akechi, you're here!

You said she wasn't here?

Coco said she'd return by the time our concert is held...

The stalker hasn't been coming since that time,

but Coco seems to be hiding something.

Is this related to someone called Maria?

Why do you know the name?

She said today was the seventh day, so she would go see Maria.

Do you have a clue where she is?

Instead of a clue...

We all installed a GPS tracker in our phones because of what happened.

Nigou!

Is your bike's fuel tank full?

Did something happen?

I'll investigate something and will be back at night.

Do lock the door properly.

Okay, I will.

Mr Akechi, helmet.

Let's go.

See you!

Thank you for coming on such short notice.

The restaurant I ordered catering service from

couldn't do it for me.

I'm happy you asked me again.

I'm really sorry to make you come this far.

Today's party venue is up there.

It's like a test of courage, right?

No...

There's nobody around, and it's quiet.

We don't need to hold back, we can be as loud as we want.

I'll take the food upstairs.

I've chilled one of my best wines,

will you serve it with the food?

Yes.

Oh?

She ordered food for six...

This is the wine she mentioned?

La Vie "an" Rose?

I've never seen this wine before.

Okay, Kurukku.

Wine, La Vie "an" Rose.

Kurukku. Do you mean La Vie en Rose?

- It's "en"? - Here is the result.

"La Vie en Rose"

"Life in pink"?

Wow! I'll tell Momoko too.

All right...

Good.

"Catering for Madame!"

- The scenery is quite good, right? - Yes!

Why...

They are all members of my family.

You're...

Are you surprised?

"Boomingly"?

Maria...

Now, have a seat.

Let's begin our party.

Why are you here?

I ordered catering from you because I wanted to talk to you.

I have nothing to say to you!

Just listen to what I say, then.

We haven't met in a while. Sorry about the other day.

You're...

Have a seat.

I'll keep your mobile phone.

It isn't poisoned.

It's pain au campagne.

Enjoy it with the sparkling wine.

I won't eat or drink.

Young lady, calm down.

Leave us alone.

Yes, ma'am.

This wine is pretty difficult to get in Japan.

Do you know why I chose this wine?

It's young, pretty, and sweet.

The wine is just like you.

Don't look so scared.

You need something entertaining while enjoying wine, don't you?

How about this?

This is...

Coco-meow...

Coco?

Mr Lucifer.

Thank you for waiting for seven days.

Coco-meow, I've been waiting for you.

For the whole time...

I missed you so much.

Me too.

I've been waiting so long for today to come.

It was the longest seven days in my whole life.

Are you hungry?

I made this again, it's the Neapolitan from that time.

I wasn't good at cooking,

but I thought about you while I was cooking.

It made me think for the first time that cooking is enjoyable.

I'm so happy.

Now...

dig in.

Oh?

I really wanted to see that look on your face,

that's why I made effort to cook.

This is the perfect last supper for the monster.

No...

How could you! Why did you do this to Coco?

Look, he has come too.

Mr Akechi?

Have a look, Mr Akechi.

The arrogant monster killed himself.

It's all because he wanted to steal my white wings.

Where is Maria?

She isn't here.

Now, Ms Maria should be...

having lunch with Ichigo, I think.

Ichigo?

Mr Akechi, this...

"Catering for Madame!"

Who is "madame"?

That rich lady?

Did you...

lure me out to come here?

"Dialling: Ichigou Kobayashi"

The number you're calling isn't reachable...

Darn...

Lend me yours.

How do you get the photo just now?

You don't know that?

Okay, Kurukku.

- The photo of wine from Ichigo. - Kurukku.

- This is the photo. - Show me what you're worth now.

Okay, Kurukku. Tell me where this photo was taken!

The place it was taken is...

this place.

How excellent you are!

Okay, Kurukku.

Let me call you Sangou starting today.

I do not understand.

Mr Akechi, hop on now!

I actually warned you,

but you still wouldn't leave him at all.

Are you an idiot?

Why Mr Akechi?

You just happened to ask him to do an infidelity investigation.

Young lady, don't you understand?

This is fate.

Fate?

"15 years ago"

Soon after I started working,

I had no dream or hope.

Every day was dull, as I travelled between home and office.

At that time,

I met him at a university's festival I happened to attend.

It smells lovely.

Hey, Akechi, what are you grilling?

Fillet steak, as you can see.

I asked my grandfather to give me some from Ogiya Department store.

I wanted to take this opportunity to promote our Japanese Black Beef.

But we're selling crepe!

Excuse me, how much is the meat?

Taking the cost price into account,

well, it's about 6,500 yen a piece.

Nobody would pay 6,500 yen at a school festival!

Gourmet is culture, an investment on yourself.

I'll buy it.

6,500 yen, right?

Eh?

Hang on.

I'll grill a new piece.

Why? I'll have that one.

Eating is an important event in a person's life.

The number of times you eat for the rest of your life is limited.

That's why I think...

that one shouldn't compromise on even one meal.

The piece of meat should be grilled to the doneness you desire.

What do you recommend?

Medium rare, with a rosy centre.

I'll have that, then.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

That was a dream-like moment.

The meat at that time...

It's so good.

was delicious.

So delicious that I want to make it my last supper.

However,

it was a distant memory from a long time ago.

That's right.

A dream is different from reality.

My reality...

was a boring woman who was nothing special.

Then,

I got married to a boring man.

I tried to convince myself that it's a woman's happiness.

But the red thread of fate

pulled us together a decade after that.

It smells lovely.

Here.

No, no. I want it to be medium rare.

I can't accept that order using this thin piece of meat.

You're a pro.

You need to make the centre rosy, no matter how thin the meat is.

Now, do it again.

Gosh!

Looking at his profile,

my memory returned clearly.

The number of times you can eat in your life is limited,

so you shouldn't compromise on even one meal.

That's why you asked Mr Akechi to do an infidelity investigation?

Yes.

Then he told me...

what really is happiness for me.

You mean killing people?

Everyone doesn't know...

that it is so exciting and fun.

You're crazy.

The reason why murder is illegal

is perhaps because it gives you pleasure.

It's been nice talking to you today.

Speak of the devil. Right?

Mr Akechi...

Why?

How can you become like that?

I'll ask you, then. Who are you?

In the world, most people don't know who they truly are.

They don't realise.

Even if they do, they shove it under the rug.

I am who I am.

Maria Magdalena.

Hang in there.

You can die in front of his eyes soon.

- Ichigou Kobayashi! - Mr Akechi!

You made a sound argument, right? That's why this happened.

You mean I asked for it?

Yeah.

But as you know,

I'm so annoyingly overprotective.

Mr Akechi...

Ichigo!

Mr Akechi!

It's okay now,

Ichigou Kobayashi.

It's "Ichigo"!

Thank goodness!

Nigou...

Look after her.

Ichigo.

Please stop putting her in dangerous situations.

We are Adam and Eve.

We don't need anyone else present at our last supper.

I'm the only one for you.

Wait!

It's fate...

You and I.

We're destined to meet.

And...

we'll be alone when the world ends.

Everything is fate.

You should know that too, don't you?

Maria...

What you're going to do...

I know the answer.

I...

Because our souls are connected.

Mr Akechi?

If my son...

meets someone who matches his wavelength perfectly,

I have a feeling he'd go to a crazy world with her.

No, Mr Akechi.

Don't go there!

Mr Akechi!

I love you, Mr Akechi!

I really love you!

It has nothing to do with Maria,

it doesn't matter what you think.

I just...

I just love you!

So, please, don't go!

Thank you...

Kobayashi...

Ichigo.

You called me Ichigo?

Mr Akechi!

Welcome to your destiny.

Mr Akechi!

- Ichigou Kobayashi. - Not bad.

No need to worry.

I will protect you too.

No!
