Are you staying over?

Do you want me to stay?

Sure.

Ah.

(CHASER GAME W: My Evil Boss is My Ex-Girlfriend) (Episode 5)

Kou,

where were you?

(Hayashi Kou) I'm back.

I was so worried about you.

Sorry.

(Harumoto Itsuki) This is...

(Hayashi Fuyu) Harumoto Itsuki-san, my coworker.

Nice to meet you.

I can't do any housework,

so she was helping me.

I see.

I apologize for the trouble.

No problem.

Well,

I'll head home then.

Thank you.

Harumoto-san.

Yes?

I'm fine now...

Thank you very much.

Fuyu...

(Dynamic Dream) This cut is no longer necessary.

- Understood. - Yes.

For the 3D model development page,

page five.

Remove this page, it's not needed.

On page five...

Good morning.

Good morning.

I will be taking over the project

from Hayashi Fuyu.

Starting today.

(Ro Asami) I'm Ro Asami.

(Chief Producer) Nice to meet you.

I'm Harumoto Itsuki.

Nice to meet you.

Excuse me.

How's it going?

Yes,

about this design, I want to change...

Was everything fine after yesterday?

Yeah.

Both my husband and I were tired,

so we went to sleep right away.

I'm sorry.

Why is Itsuki apologizing?

I'll quickly send it.

Good morning.

Good morning.

(Kubo Yuina, Nanase Futaba)

(Komatsu Risa) It's time.

Let's start the meeting.

But Ayaka-san hasn't arrived yet.

I'm sorry for being late!

My child forgot something,

(Sakamoto Ayaka) and I had to deliver it to school,

(Sakamoto Ayaka) so I missed the bus.

As rumored.

Huh?

In Japanese companies,

being late is forgiven if

you use your child as an excuse.

It's quite relaxed here.

Please wait.

Excuse me,

but Ayaka-san has never

used her children as

an excuse to be late.

Besides, she's only

one minute late today.

Itsuki, it's okay.

Even if it's just one minute,

I'm still late.

I sincerely apologize.

Do you know?

The youth unemployment rate

in urban areas in China

has exceeded 20%.

Compared to such

a fiercely competitive society,

Japan seems relaxed.

I'm not criticizing

anyone's child-rearing.

So, in the future,

if you want to prioritize

child-rearing over work,

please do so.

Chief Ro is what we call

an 'honorary male.'

What does that mean?

It's a woman who conforms to

the male-dominated society

to gain status,

right?

Chief Ro is just a workaholic.

She calls until midnight on weekdays,

and if there's no response to

her emails for more than

three hours on weekends,

she'll call you.

Good work.

Wait.

Finish these by tomorrow.

And this too.

Night entertainment,

weekend golf, and mahjong,

we must participate in all of them.

Including the New Year's holiday

and Chinese New Year,

it's work as usual.

Like a hardcore Showa-era salaryman.

That's impossible for me.

But what I don't understand is

Chief Ro's purpose in coming to Japan.

In the first place,

she wasn't interested in making

the game adaptation of "Tennyo Sekai."

Wasn't she just concerned as a boss?

No, it's not that.

She considers me her enemy.

I apologize for the hostility

towards me extending to all of you.

I'm really sorry.

What's wrong?

This is the first time I've seen

Fuyu-san apologize.

But, she was

satisfied with yesterday's report,

right?

Yeah,

she was satisfied with

the staff selection too.

You don't have to

worry that much, right?

Yeah,

thank you.

Are you still worried?

Yeah.

If Chief Ro came to Japan

to undermine me,

her purpose should be to

crush the game adaptation.

Would she really come all the way

to Japan just for that?

That's not it,

there must be another purpose.

Your worrywart personality

hasn't changed at all.

Huh?

Hey,

about this necklace.

Huh?

This is the one we

bought together, right?

Yeah.

Look.

- A heart? - Yeah.

- Wow. - Wow.

Did you throw yours away, Fuyu?

No, I still have it.

- Really? - Yeah.

I'll wear it next time.

If you do that,

everyone will find out.

It's okay even if they find out.

The other day, Shindo-san

brought another receipt with

an unexplainable amount.

What a headache.

- Good work. - Good work.

- Good work. - Good work.

Things are progressing smoothly.

Lin Fuyu also expressed a desire to

report progress to the headquarters

as soon as possible.

Could we consider scheduling

a meeting promptly?

Yes,

thank you very much.

I've been waiting.

Come on, take a seat there.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Ah, close one!

Place it right here.

(Hayashi Tsuki)

Mama,

is Itsuki-chan not coming anymore?

Nope, that's not true.

She'll come play again.

When?

If Tsuki is a good girl.

Alright, both of you, dinner's ready.

- Yes. - Yes.

Today, we have

- Tsuki's favorite spare ribs. - Itsuki...

(Dynamic Dream)

All three are out.

Re-cast them.

What do you mean?

All three of them have

issues in their past.

Also, Tanaka Takayasu and

Shinsawa Ryosuke aren't suitable either.

What kind of issues

are we talking about?

In the past, this designer used a

high school girl

in a swimsuit as a model.

The voice actor for

the White heavenly maiden

voiced role of a rival of

a Chinese athlete

in an animation broadcast

seven years ago.

The voice actor for

the black heavenly maiden

made a comment on social media saying

"Ramen is now a Japanese food."

Tanaka Takayasu and Shinzawa Ryosuke

have both made controversial remarks

regarding China.

Here is the proof.

Chief,

did you investigate all of this

in just three days?

Right now, that's not important.

The problem is that a game made

by those staff members

won't pass.

For this reason,

the casting will be changed.

So, the meeting

with Vincent will be postponed, right?

No,

the meeting will proceed.

But what should we report?

That's your job to figure out.

I scheduled the meeting because

I know you all have something to report.

Wait a moment.

Isn't that a bit harsh?

You're like a class representative.

Huh?

You keep pointing out stupid things.

Not popular with guys, huh?

How about we don't report

about the game adaptation,

and report about

the anime production instead?

Anime production?

Wait, are we also

going to make an anime?

- Actually... - About the anime production,

we're already in talks with

Asahi Productions, right?

That's good. Report that.

How did she know about that?

As you say,

we are in discussions

with Asahi Productions.

Soon,

The script for all of the 26 episodes

will be completed.

Good.

Then I'll go for greetings today.

Make the arrangements.

Understood.

In that case, at the upcoming meeting,

let's focus on the anime production

that is progressing in parallel

and not discuss the game.

- Yes. - Yes.

The amount of that data

is impossible to compile

in just three days.

Could it be that

Ro has a collaborator?

Hello.

Asami-san is already on

her way to Asahi Productions.

Huh?

Asami-san took a taxi ahead of us.

Is that so.

Can we go together?

Why?

If we're going to

talk about it in the next meeting,

it's better to know in advance.

I see.

I just want to visit

the sacred place of BL anime,

Asahi Productions.

Please!

I'm sorry.

Could you stay back, Harumoto-san,

and come up with some ideas

for the staff?

But...

Please.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Hello, hello, hello!

I'm Saraki from Asahi Productions!

(Imase, Saraki) We have the honor of welcoming you

all the way from China!

Thank you very much!

Our companies,

when it comes to size,

are like comparing a skyscraper

to a run-down apartment!

Please come in.

Maybe it's like Mt. Fuji to an anthill?

No, it's more like comparing

the universe to this piece of garbage,

But I'm truly honored.

Ni hao, xie xie.

Oh, can you understand Japanese?

I grew up in Japan, so it's okay.

- What a relief. - This kanji is incorrect.

How embarrassing!

Hey, fold it up!

Is the scenario ready now?

- Scenario! Go get it! - Yes.

- It's right here. Hurry up. - Yes.

Here, I've prepared it for you.

This is the scenario, and here are some

sample drawings I sketched.

Thank you.

- You did this in just half a month? - That's right.

Amazing.

She knew when I made the request.

You have excellent staff.

What kind of people are on your team?

What kind of people?

Yes.

When reporting to our headquarters,

we're often asked for profiles.

Oh, I see.

- Send them the profiles later. - Yes.

This way please.

- This one here plays music as a hobby. - Huh?

I think it'll be popular

in Korea and China too.

At least for now,

things seem to be

going well on this end.

- You don't sing? - No.

No good.

Huh?

What do you mean by 'no good'?

Everything.

The GL elements are too strong,

it won't pass internal review,

let alone external censorship.

What should we do?

If we continue like this,

we won't be able to

report anything in the meeting.

For now, contact Asahi Productions

and let them know that

the scenario needs to be redone.

Hey,

do you understand Japanese?

Yes.

I thought you might have

forgotten Japanese.

I'm sorry.

Anyway, prepare materials that

can be reported in the meeting.

(The atmosphere is terrible)

Chief Ro, please wait!

Chief Ro, please wait!

You're persistent, aren't you?

I want to cancel the meeting.

Huh?

If you do that, it's like saying

the project isn't going well.

Is that okay with you?

No cancellations.

You need to report all your mistakes

to the company.

About staffing problematic people

and the unsuccessful anime scenario,

because it's all your fault.

It's not my responsibility.

This project's status

will probably drop below 60 points.

If that happens, the game development

will be scrapped,

and you will

be demoted to a regular employee.

Chief Ro,

- please. - What?

Just this once,

let me cancel the meeting.

I admit my preparation was inadequate.

Are you admitting that

you were entirely at fault?

Yes.

Then,

isn't it strange for us

to speak equally?

Huh?

You admit your fault

and even ask me a favor.

In such situations,

it's customary to bow.

I apologize.

Please cancel the meeting.

Wipe off the dirt from my shoes

while you're at it.

Huh?

What are you doing?

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

I'm fine.

You think you can get away

with this, don't you?

I'll never forgive you!

I think

maybe there's a spy within the team.

A spy?

Yeah.

It's hard to believe that Chief Ro

investigated the staff's past alone,

and besides,

only I know about the anime adaptation.

But

is there really a spy?

In a peaceful Japan,

it might be hard to believe,

but spies exist as a profession.

Anyway,

Ro Asami is the worst.

I should've shoved her away

with more force.

Itsuki,

you looked cool.

Huh?

Really?

Yeah.

I fell for you again.

Hey,

- kiss me. - Huh?

Here?

(Next episode) Chief Ro

said that she wanted to remove

Harumoto-san from

the 'Tennyo Sekai' project.

There's a spy on this team.

They're probably someone you know.

Can you please confirm?

Proceed as we agreed.
