- One, two. - One, two.

Just a little more. Breathe.

One, two.

- There's the finish line! - Finished.

- One last spurt. - Okay.

Oh man, I'm feeling it today. Let's go.

Ready, go!

- Lift those legs! - Come on!

Like this.

- And then this. - Nice.

- Wait. - Sorry, that didn't work.

- Do it again. - Sexy style.

Oh, I like it!

Keep going like this.

- Like this? - Like that.

Yes, that's it.

- And then... - One more time.

Bang!

You've been shot.

- Bang! - I dodged it.

- Bang, bang! - Bang!

Nice.

Okay, good work.

- Finally done. - Thanks.

Oh, sorry, folks.

Miss, you're so cool! Can you teach me?

- Are you a boxer? - I want to do that too.

Excuse us. Thanks.

We're going home now. Sorry.

Thank you very much.

Oh, come on! No autographs!

A handshake will have to do.

- Thanks. - Bye!

Bye, cool ladies!

Oh, that reminds me.

That place we went

back in the day...

The Japanese confectionery. Do you remember it?

- The one with the annoying clerk? - Yes.

It became a specialty canelé shop and now they're selling like crazy.

- For real? - Yes.

- Canelé power! - Canelé power.

A specialty shop, what?

Let's go again together.

Shall we?

BABY ASSASSINS EVERYDAY!

BABY ASSASSINS EVERYDAY!

Oh, the guild updated its shop.

There's a new sleeping aid.

Looks useful!

That much?

What? Gosh, that's steep!

- Sorry for the wait. - Oh, hi.

Shall we?

ADOPT ME

How cute!

Adorable.

How come cats are so cute?

This is nice. I've wanted to go to a cat cafe with you.

You're the cutest!

Hello there.

A dream collaboration.

Smell good?

Smells great!

Give me a kiss?

Oh, that's adorable.

So cute!

They're lovely.

I wish I could take them home.

Right?

Assassins have a high risk of death

so we can never have pets.

Or so the rules say.

I hope these little ones

find happiness somewhere.

A place where they can nap all they want

and have sweet dreams.

May you eat lots of tasty foods

and curl up all day in the sunshine.

Where do you want to live next?

Well...

- Somewhere we can have cats? That's not an option, remember?

But I did hear a tip.

Neighborhoods can change depending on the time of day.

They say you should visit at night to assess safety.

- At night? - Yes.

When I quit, I want to go adopt those cats.

Do you have plans to quit, Miyauchi?

Oh gosh, no plans or anything.

But my parents are worried about me doing this job long-term.

So that's how it is.

Gosh!

Hey! It's you again!

Are you still doing this crap?

I injured a tendon thanks to you!

I had to miss work and they fired me right away!

Who gave you the right?

- It's your own fault, moron. - You got what you deserve.

Damn it!

I'll have you know that I worked at the same company for 30 years!

I paid my taxes

and voted in elections!

I lived a proper life!

Why do I have to suffer like this?

That's no reason to barge into people.

Take it out on the company that fired you!

Not on other people!

What?

Hey, what's your problem?

Are you talking to me?

- Get out of my way! - I'm in the way?

You're damn right you are!

It's tackle turd vs. tackle turd.

The worst of all worlds.

- Don't touch me! - Don't you know violence is wrong?

- Screw you! - You're in my way!

This is your fault!

No, it's yours!

Enough fighting.

No one likes people like you.

In the entire world, you won't find anyone who's on your side.

Which is why

one tackle turd should never butt heads with another.

Make friends.

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

- I'm sorry! - No, I'm sorry!

I was in a bad mood.

Things aren't going well at work!

Thank you.

My section chief has been bullying me.

Section chiefs are all morons!

I'm sorry to say it

but only violence can stop violent people.

It doesn't look like I can quit anytime soon.

Glad to hear it.

If only they learned to make friends with their own kind.

I haven't had a day off in so long.

Yes, I feel reborn.

The aroma of renewal is in the air.

If only Kei could have come.

Well, I'm sure he's relaxing on the other side.

I hope you're right.

- Haven't we had enough? - Not yet.

- Let's go. - We have two sets left.

- Hi there. Got a minute? - Ignore the pick-up artists.

Wait, I'm not a pick-up artist.

I'm Oficer Shigeoka.

A cop?

- Plainclothes? - Yes, swaggy too.

Do you mind showing me what's in that bag?

Questioning?

This?

Clearly, we're just average citizens.

Yes, we're clean. Just average human citizens.

- Forget the "human" part. - I'm aware you're not suspicious!

I'm just doing my job. Can we get it over with? Okay?

What's in there?

- This? - That.

The yellow one.

- That's right. - This?

What's in... Oh, let me check!

If you don't mind.

- Why did you bring that? - I was going to take it for repairs.

Judging by the pressure on your shoulder, it must be heavy.

And I didn't hear any splashing sound like liquid.

Nor does it look to be the size of a book.

I can only imagine something metal, around this big, is in there.

Is there anything metal that's around that size?

What could it be?

A paperweight.

- What? - It's a paperweight.

A paperweight?

Why would you carry that around?

We're members of The Society of Paperweight Carriers.

- The "Paperweight Exercise Law." - We're supporters.

If it's for exercise, let me hold it!

Calm down.

You sure are strong.

That startled me.

Amazing.

I'm impressed.

Do you do martial arts?

Oh, it's not martial arts. It's...

I'm in the Society of Bag Swingers.

Gosh, now that you mention it

the bones in your hands are sturdy too.

You must have beaten down a lot of people just like this.

- What amazing powers of deduction. - What?

You know, I'll bet you could write a mystery novel.

I actually have one novel out already.

- Oh, you really do write? - It's a romantic comedy though.

That's why you think so fast and have such an amazing aura.

Oh, sorry, we've got to go.

The Corndog Appreciation Society meeting is starting.

- There's nothing on your wrist. - Thanks for your time. Bye!

Excuse us!

Wait!

There is something.

What?

What could this be?

Cat hairs?

What the... Oh, geez, are you insane?

- This is bad. - Check on him!

Are you okay? He okay?

Wait, are we okay? If we kill a cop--

- He's alive. - He is? Good.

Call Tasaka. He'll be annoyed, but...

- First, we should... - Well...

Well, we can't wake him up, so let's just call Tasaka.

- Sir, you can't sleep there! - There's no one watching.

Still...

I think Sugimoto and Fukagawa will have a tough time.

Oh, the job rotation?

Yes.

That sales branch is intense.

I hope she can handle it.

You're right.

Mr. Hino is a real weirdo too.

You're one to talk.

What's that mean?

You suck at banter.

Okay, shall we go?

- Really? - Beer is waiting for us.

Yes, I could use a drink.

- Here's to time off! - Cheers.

Speak of the devil. It's Sugimoto and Fukagawa.

- Calling to express gratitude? - Just answer it.

Hello, this is Tasaka.

What?

You knocked out a plainclothes cop and want me to clean it up?

Sorry, I'm a bit lost. Can you explain?

This is bad. Fighting with a plainclothes cop means...

The Guild!

The Guild and the police will...

We have to apologize.

Better hurry.

On my day off... those two...

Damn it!

Why me?

I feel for him.

I'm Hino from auditing.

Starting today, you'll work under me.

Well...

I don't want to.

Sorry?

Oh, well...

We talked about this, right?

The Assassins Guild has a job rotation system.

Experiencing different positions will help you grow.

You've only worked in the field. It's time to expand.

I don't want to experience different positions and I don't want to grow.

Total rejection?

I like things the way they are!

Besides, what about Chisato? Where is she?

Ms. Sugimoto was sent to our elite sales branch

Team Himawari.

Himawari?

OFFICE HIMAWARI

I'll be joining the sales division starting today.

My name is Chisato Sugimoto. I'll be in your care.

We look forward to working with you!

She may have worked in the field, but there's a lot to learn.

Please help her.

SALES CHIEF, MAKIO YAMASHITA

I'm Chief Yamashita.

- Pleased to meet you. - Likewise.

I'll strengthen you up in no time!

Please do.

Okay, time for morning greetings.

Good morning!

- Good morning! - Good morning!

Let's work hard and arrange more kills today!

Demand is something...

- We generate! - We generate!

Good.

- Chisato! - Yes?

For the time being

Miyoshi and Kurihara will provide support.

Oh, sure.

Hello there!

Thank you. "Miyoshi and Kurihara."

Ryu Miyoshi is our ace salesman.

Lately, he's secured tons of orders

from clients buying up land in Hokkaido.

40 million yen per order.

And he's had 30!

- Right? - Stop it, you're embarrassing me.

All it takes is sincerity.

Anyone can do it.

So Ryu says

but nothing we do here can be done by anyone, Chisato.

It's about making unique use of your brain, okay?

Unique thinking is the key!

- Right. - Good.

Now then, time for Ryu's bonus!

You're pumped up today, Mr. Yamashita!

- Hold out your hands! - Okay!

We go until it spills from your hands!

Here we go!

Any predictions?

- Ten million! - Next.

- Seven million! - Okay.

Chisato?

Nine million.

All right!

One million!

Two million!

Three million!

Don't lose balance!

Chisato, you guessed right!

One million.

That was mine!

What an office.

Nice to meet you, Chisato. Here's to working with you.

I'll be in your care.

We're all motivated and we like to have fun.

- Let's do our best. - Right.

I worked in the field for a long time too

and it was really tough!

But Mr. Yamashita found me and brought me under his wing!

I'm grateful to him.

- I hope to learn from you. - Please do.

Our job is to secure orders from corporations or the black market

and pass them to the planning division.

Got it.

Your job will be to introduce yourself

to our regular clients and explain our new pricing plans.

Right.

Excuse me a second. A client is calling.

Thank you for calling.

This is Kurihara from Office Himawari.

Yes?

In that case

may we assume that your feelings haven't changed?

You wouldn't mind if we did it now? I see.

The early bird plan it is then.

That plan expires today, so had you called tomorrow

the price would have changed.

Thank you so much!

Now, about the wire transfer...

Yes.

Well then, that will be all for now. Thank you for calling!

A 20-million-yen job from Takeoto!

- Gosh! - All right!

That's good news.

Way to go!

Did I hear sushi? Are we having sushi today?

Tonight is my treat!

- I already called the chef! - Yes!

Sushi's on the way to the office!

Thanks for the meal!

An assassins' office can have sushi?

Chisato's doing desk work?

Are you splitting us up?

Well, in terms of work, that's a yes for now.

But that's...

Can we get back on the topic?

Go ahead.

Auditors have two main jobs.

One is monitoring assassins.

We investigate their mental health and work performance.

Then we file a report.

Investigate

and report.

The second job is this.

We liquidate assassins

whose significant errors or defiance can damage the Guild.

In either case, it earns us the hatred of every crew.

Liquidate?

You don't mean...

The assassins who kill other assassins?

Within our industry, we're known as liquidators.

Lame as hell.

AKIRA HINO, LIQUIDATOR

You want me

to be a liquidator?

BABY ASSASSINS EVERYDAY! JOB ROTATION ARCH

I never wanted to be a liquidator.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

It's like a beach picnic!

There's a lot to think about.

Ready to quit?

I'm not good at anything else.

You only have to worry about killing.

But I've gotta deal with people and office hierarchy.

It's not easy!

What are you saying?

All I did was worry about you.

Goodbye.
