and thus, the SEE strategy involves being Seen, Everytime, Everywhere.

Seen, Everytime, Everywhere

This ensures our meetings push beyond the realm of mere chance,

and she'll have no choice but to feel the red string of fate!

My chance is ripening!

What I need now is the courage to wait!

That's not exactly courage.

Stop reading my mind!

You're so obsessed over removing obstacles in your path...

Shall you live under the apple tree you're planting beside yourself?

The School Festival Executive Director, and also, my friend.

The School Festival Executive Director

The most photographed person on campus,

he receives the most Valentine's chocolate in all Sakyo-ku.

He also puts his beauty to use through cross-dressing,

and his infamy rose after confusing several young men during the Fall Festival.

You dithering fool!

She's right in front of your face, yet you do nothing!

Hey now, you're drinking too much.

Meet my other friend,

Don Underwear

who six months ago vowed to never change his underwear until his wish came true.

Despite smashing the previous record for doing so,

and earning the glorious title of "Don Underwear",

his wish is as yet unfulfilled.

Leave it alone already!

I'll strike when MY iron is hot!

Your iron, huh...

Tonight's my chance!

If I sit at the same table as her when we go to the next place,

I can push things to the next stage for sure!

Not romantic!

Now then, we'll be heading off to the next pub!

Anyone who is staying with our group, please follow me!

It will be a 3 minute walk, so take care not to lose sight!

You're all coming, right?

Right?!

In the neighborhood of Shijo-Kiyamachi,

men and women indulging in evening pleasures came in an incessant stream.

Here of all places would have what I seek,

an encounter with glorious alcohol!

The dazzling world of adulthood awaits!

The Night is Short, Walk On Girl

One pina colada, please!

I had a fondness for cocktails.

Picking a cocktail was like picking out a sparkling jewel,

everything about it felt so luxurious.

In all honesty, the entire Pacific Ocean could be rum for all I care,

that's how much I adore rum.

I long to down the entire bottle the second I lay hands on one,

but this is the sort of dream one best be discreet about.

Hey you, looks like you can hold your drink.

Your next one's on me.

Oh no! That's fine!

Get this gal an Acapulco!

Rum's made from sugarcane...

Brandy was originally known as vin brule, or "burnt wine".

Once you distill wine, the alcohol content skyrockets,

and that's how you end up with brandy and whisky.

You certainly know a lot...

Just part of gettin' old.

I'm sorry I won't be able to keep up.

Nah, spending time with people I pass by in the night,

that's where I find my joy.

There's a legendary drink out there called Fake Denki Bran.

"Fake"?

Denki Bran was cooked up by a well-known joint in Asakusa back in the 1800s...

It's a cocktail gone down in history.

It's so famous you can find the stuff in convenience stores,

but the recipe was kept under lock-and-key for ages.

However, some time ago,

some guy working for Kyoto Central Telephone

got the bright idea to try replicating its flavor.

After traveling down blind alleys of trial-and-error,

what he discovered at the end of his journey,

that's what's now known as Fake Denki Bran.

Both its taste and its scent,

they're totally different from Denki Bran,

but the mysterious and enticing flavor it DOES have,

you can tell it's still being made in secret somewhere,

and being smuggled through the streets as we speak.

I'd really like to give it a try...

You're a girl after my own heart!

Hey, you!

We've got some good girls if you're lost!

I'm fine.

- A raven-haired maiden is my goal! - So, raven hair is what you're after...

- That's not what I meant! - Don't take this personally.

Looking at you brings back memories of my daughter.

I was never the greatest father to her...

Been a while since we met face-to-face.

Not like I got the right to see her anyway...

This is one of the most important days of her life...

And I stood her up...

Young lady!!!

Never forget to grab onto happiness with your own hands!

Find out what's valuable and hold tight!

Yes!

Go and give it your all!

Yes!

- Give it your all... - Yes!

G-Give it your all...!

Todo-san...

Give it your all --

Well, you sure showed him!

Oh? Well, this is rather shameless.

Th-This is erotic art!

I'm an art collector, damn it!

Todo's well-known for being a gross old pervert...

He's just a piece of shit from top to bottom.

A grope here or there ain't gonna hurt anything!

You shouldn't so easily put your faith in people you chance by out at night.

Of course, I'm referring to US as well.

He's part of some gross group called the Bedchamber Investigation Team,

all he does is collect that perverted stuff!

I hear his business has plunged these days,

and he's plunged himself into debt as a result...

Well, it's not for me to know how the vulgar masses live their lives.

But I didn't know that then, and I still did something awful.

It's fine, it's fine!

BE more awful and cold-hearted!

But y'know, you sure have one hell of a punch...

That's what I call my Friendship Punch.

My mother taught it to me when I was little.

Do you understand?

As you make your way through this world,

you will find the noble amount to a handful.

What's left are utter fools and rotten fiends,

or quite possibly utterly foolish rotten fiends.

Such encounters are when you must use the Friendship Punch.

When you wrap your thumb in your four fingers like so,

your fist becomes like the warm paw of the Beckoning Cat...

Such a fist can no longer truly convey feelings of hatred.

Thus, we are freed from the chains of violence,

and thus we invite harmony into this world.

This is my trump card,

the only technique my parents permit me to use on the outside world.

You certainly seem wise beyond your years!
