EVIL DOES NOT EXIST

Takumi!

- Sorry for the delay. - Forget about it.

- There were people. - I'm happy for you.

- Are these ready? - Yes.

- Was he close? - No.

I heard they went hunting in Kurihara.

Then it's far away.

Kazuo.

- Some wild wasabi. - Wild wasabi…

It's pretty strong.

Here they put him in the saba. It's also good with udon.

I'll try using it for one of our dishes.

- Pick it up too. I'll bring the water. - Thank you.

Kazuo!

Sorry, I have to go get my daughter.

Don't worry. See you at seven tonight.

- For what? - To talk about the glamping project.

Right! Later then.

Takumi, you're too forgetful!

- Yes you are right. - Thanks for the water!

One, two, three, star!

Sorry, I'm late. Where's Hana?

She-she walked home, she thought she forgot. - One, two, three, star!

I am sorry.

Attention, I'm maneuvering.

Be careful. Make room.

Watch out for the car.

- Where's the backpack, Hana? - A afterschool.

- Hey! - An oak tree.

- A fir tree. - That's a larch. - Oh yes?

Larches have black bark. The fir trees have it red.

And that?

- A wild cherry tree. - Wild cherry?

This is still young.

There's a bigger one over there.

- An oak tree. - Yes. - A dogwood.

- And that? - A fir tree! - Very, very good.

- Firs are red and larches are black. - Yes.

- This... ' - Don't touch it. And a Siberian ginseng.

It has thorns. Deer don't eat the berries either.

- Are they good? - Yes, but people are a bit harsh.

You can make a kind of wine out of it.

Then it's not for you.

Deer teeth marks.

A striped maple?

Yes.

Do you see here and there?

It looks like licorice. Maybe it's good.

Look, some footprints.

A fawn.

They shot him.

But he didn't die right away.

This is where they come to drink.

-Suruga will like him. - Yes.

- The day after tomorrow? They do it quickly. - They arrived yesterday out of nowhere.

MEETING FOR RESIDENTS ABOUT THE GLAMPING PROJECT

They don't want too many people.

But I told everyone I could.

What kind of people were they?

The girl who came was very polite.

This Playmode is an entertainment agency.

Is it for their artists' vacation?

I think the agency is targeting pandemic subsidies.

- Subsidies? - Yes, now you just need to submit a project to receive them.

Well, let's hear what they have to say.

No, it's just a formality anyway.

Tatsu, don't start arguing needlessly.

- Takumi, thanks for the wasabi. - Not at all.

- We will use it for our seasonal dish. - Well.

- I'll taste it. - We are waiting for you.

- New dish? -The wild wasabi was her idea.

Yes, it's great. Once upon a time it was often found in Saba restaurants. I can't wait.

Ah, right.

Mr.

Suruga.

Look.

Oh. - Things? - It should be pheasant, right?

Yes.

- Can it be useful to you? - Yes.

Pens are used in instruments. My son uses them with the harpsichord.

- What is a harpsichord? - It's similar to a piano.

Do you see this thorn in the center?

The strings are plucked with the tip.

Did you understand?

Can you play the piano?

No, not me.

- Takumi, thank you. - Do not mention it.

My son will be happy with it.

- Good night! - HI!

- See you the day after tomorrow. - Certain.

- Good night. - Good night.

Hana.

So you get sick.

Good morning.

Thank you for coming on such short notice.

I'm Takahashi, from Playmode.

And I'm Mayuzumi.

We plan to run a glamping site here. Construction is scheduled for May.

Thanks for being here.

We have prepared a video for you to explain this project.

Takahashi will explain the details after the video.

We will then answer your questions.

Thanks for the attention.

Let's begin.

GLAM PING IN HARASAWA

"Glamping" is a word that is not yet known to everyone.

It comes from the combination of the words "glamour" and "camping".

Harasawa nature meets five-star luxury.

HARASAWA

We want to be appreciated both by visitors,

and by the local community.

Well.

Our explanation ends here.

Now we would like to hear your opinions 0 questions.

How did it seem to you? Are there any questions?

Please.

- Many things are not clear to me. - Okay.

The site can accommodate up to 64 people. Why is the septic tank only for 50?

It is based on expected average

occupancy of 45 to 55 percent and site area.

We think it's adequate.

But it will vary according to the season.

As a company, you aim to fill all positions, right?

- Yes. - Then you have to rely on that, right?

Here, we intend to optimize management to

provide everyone with a quality service.

But it's an interesting observation, we will take it into consideration.

"Optimize management"? Think only of yourself.

No it does not.

Yes, let's continue with the questions.

Can you show us the location of the septic tank again?

Certain.

SEPTIC TANK CAPACITY: 50 PEOPLE If

discharged from that location, there is

a risk of pollution of downstream wells.

- The wells? - You can't put the grave there.

Thanks for your intervention.

But we talked to experts and they gave

us limitations on where to drain the water.

We chose the location that has the least impact on the area.

But he can't stay there.

The wells are connected to the aquifer.

The aquifer feeds the spring downstream from which we get our water.

To have less impact on the area, you have to put it in the center.

Or build a sewer system.

I am not qualified to answer.

The location was determined by experts and appraisers.

What is the purification efficiency of the pit?

We see...

A moment.

It can purify 90% of the water used by 50 people.

So every day the waste from five people will end up in the wells?

Yes, but only if we operate at full capacity.

But you said that as a company that is your goal.

Yes, but the population here is 6,000 people, right?

The amount of discharges of five people is within an acceptable margin.

You don't have to decide.

- I can? - Certain. Please.

My name is Minemura, I have a diner nearby.

I used to have a restaurant in Tokyo, but when I ate

soba here, I understood the difference water makes.

And I decided to move here, four years ago.

I don't know if I can call myself a local, not having been born here.

I'm sitting on this side, but I understand your position.

I can only keep the diner open thanks to the local community.

What I mean is, this septic tank would

turn everything upside down for me.

My coming here would completely lose its meaning.

But I don't want to just talk about me.

I've only been here a short time, but I

feel that water is essential for these people.

When I say I use spring water for udon, I get compliments.

They are very happy about it, very proud.

I would like you to understand that the

very essence of community is at stake.

So proceed with caution and listen to everyone.

As a resident, I ask that the location of the pit be reconsidered.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We will report his precious opinion.

And who are you reporting it to, exactly?

A president of our company. He is the one who has the final say.

So why isn't he here?

He has made us responsible.

But aren't you an entertainment agency?

- Yes, we are. - So you don't understand anything about it.

We are working with an expert glamping consultancy.

So why isn't the consultant here?

- He couldn't come today. - But you decided the date.

- We will report everything. - Like water off a duck's back.

Come on, there's no need to warm up.

That?

I would like you to understand that this facility also benefits the community.

Camping is not for everyone, instead glamping will attract tourists from Tokyo.

This country will become a new tourist destination.

Local shops will make big profits.

Tourists will stop at his diner on the way back.

More people means more business.

The entire area will be revitalized.

We believe that this project brings benefits to everyone.

Let's keep this in mind.

This is primarily a residential and holiday home area.

Yes.

This glamping is like a camping themed hotel, right?

Guests will not eat out, they will have a barbecue.

We cannot control the actions of each guest.

This is why I worry about bonfires.

They are prohibited. There will be designated areas for barbecues.

You just said you can't control each guest.

Did you say there won't be a caretaker from 11pm to 6am?

Right.

So who will check if they follow the rules?

It's a question of budget and compensation for night shifts, right?

- I would not know... - I do.

I know what it's like, I ran a retirement home for years.

And there absolutely must be someone there 24 hours a day.

City people come here to relieve stress.

There will be young people making

noise and lighting fires late at night.

You may not know that this is a dry area with strong winds.

Large fires occur every 20 years or so.

With your glamping, they could happen every ten or five years.

You will need to have supervision 24 hours a

day. Otherwise, we will oppose the construction.

When will construction begin?

It is scheduled for May, but could be delayed to June.

So it's impossible.

Are you doing it for benefits?

Subsidies have a deadline.

That's why you're in a hurry.

This meeting is also just to tell the authorities that you spoke to us.

They send two puppets here to make easy money on our skin.

At that time?

Let's talk about it again.

Now you know our position.

And we know that you don't have the final say.

Return here with the president and the advisor.

Not to attack them.

We have not decided yet.

We'll work together if it makes sense.

My grandparents were settlers.

After the war, this region was reclaimed

and given to those who had no land.

It is a place without history.

In a sense, we are all guests.

Guests who have developed the area and also damaged nature.

Balance is key.

If you overdo it, your balance suffers.

Thank you. We hope to organize another meeting.

We realized how unprepared we are.

We would like to learn more, if you have the time.

I am Suruga, the mayor of this town.

It all comes down to what Takumi said before.

We all know that water flows downward.

So what is done upstream always has an impact downstream.

Yes.

I'm not just talking in terms of environmental impact.

But if the upstream activity intensifies,

it creates a huge downstream effect.

Naturally, those who live downstream will blame those who live upstream.

Disputes will arise.

To avoid them,

people upstream must behave responsibly.

It's our duty.

We can't let dirty water flow downstream just for quick profits.

We want you to understand this.

You need to keep this in mind if you really care about community consensus.

Please be sure to let your boss know when you return to Tokyo.

Then we can talk about it again.

Well said!

Make them understand!

Yes, just ask.

I'm concerned about the number of staff members.

Are you saying four is enough?

Here you are...

- Thank you for your valuable contribution. - We're tough guys, huh?

-Thank you for his words. - Let's talk about it again, okay?

Oh, Hana!

- Are they for me? - Yes. Do you like them?

Of course yes.

- Where did you find them? - In fields. - Oh yes?

Thanks for the gift, but don't go alone, okay?

You should get Takumi's number.

He will help you if you ask him properly.

- He knows all the secrets of the area. - All right.

- As it should be, though. - Yes.

See you then.

Thanks for your intervention.

Can you give us your business card, so I can contact you in the future?

- I do not have one. - Ah...

I'll give you the number.

Excuse me for asking, but what do you do for a living?

I'm a jack of all trades.

I work for the country.

- Call me if you need me. - Yes.

Thanks for today.

WATER ALWAYS FLOWS DOWN

Do you want more?

It's good.

Just one bite.

I can not see.

Bad.

Stinky.

This project is leaking on all sides.

Obviously it's not perfect.

We will make changes as we go along.

Then I would like you to come to the next meeting to say it!

- For what purpose? - To convince residents.

In fact, I think nothing will change their minds.

What I can say is that the meeting was a success.

What, a success?

This meeting had two purposes.

One was to demonstrate to the government that we are communicating with local residents.

The other was to let them vent.

They took it out on us!

And for this I thank you.

Once you understand what their concerns are, it's a great result.

Now the important thing is to divide them into those that we can or cannot solve.

The request to have supervision 24 hours a day you can satisfy.

You can't touch the budget, so we will reduce staff.

The quality of service will decrease, but nothing else can be done.

As for the septic tank, it is possible to reposition it.

But it has to be somewhere. Someone will lose.

I propose not to move it, or we will end up incurring additional costs.

Even if a little polluted, it will always be better than city water.

We show them that we try hard by

accepting their request for caretaker.

I understand.

But the residents are not as stupid as you think, Mr.

Horiguchi.

I never said they were stupid.

Listening to them, I found their concerns reasonable.

If we cannot meet their requests, the project is not feasible.

- That is?

- We have to rethink the project from scratch.

What do you say, Mr. Hasegawa? We can not. - Why? - Why? Because we have already received subsidies!

They are equivalent to two months' sales.

And they also ended up in your salaries.

Yes exactly.

Can you show page 13 of the document I sent you?

GROWTH OF THE GLAMPING MARKET

As I mentioned, glamping

is a rapidly growing business.

To secure a place in the market, you

need to enter it before your competition.

Thanks, you can close it.

GROWTH OF THE GLAMPING MARKET If

we seek perfection, we won't be the fastest.

We have already bought the land.

We can no longer hold back.

- It is not too late. - Yes, Mr. Horiguchi?

- I have an idea. - Yes?

Why don't we ask the handyman to act as caretaker?

Oh!

He's influential, knows the area and probably doesn't have much to do.

- We don't know that... - Good idea!

Excuse me, but the next online meeting has already started.

Excuse us.

So let's proceed with these ideas.

- Keep me updated. - Yes, thanks.

Thanks to you.

- Let's end it here. - Stop that.

- Let's do it. - As?

Go there now. Bring him a drink.

Mayuzumi, work him a little. Tell him we need him.

Takahashi, you accompany her.

You will arrive shortly after midday.

We cannot delay the work or take on more debt.

Let's work!

Force!

Where do we meet?

She sent the location. She said to be there by 1:00.

- What a strange guy. - Already.

- Listen, Mayuzumi. - Yes?

Why don't you leave?

- What? - This work.

- Why? - Rather, why do you do this job?

- What did you do before? - Care of the elderly.

Didn't I say I was a certified operator?

- Then why? - For what?

- Why this sector? - To change.

- A nice change. - The world of entertainment fascinated me.

I guess it's not what you expected.

Well, it's full of crooks, just like I thought.

Long live sincerity.

- Why did you go in there? - I don't know, maybe I wasn't completely okay.

- In your head? - Emotionally.

Then this is not an industry for you.

But I like everyone to tell it like it is.

- You make this old man worry. - You're not much older than me.

I've been in show business for 17 years now.

Why did you join this agency?

- Oh, didn't I tell you? - No.

I started as Tamura's assistant.

Really? I knew it.

Yes, I went to quite a few of his shows in my youth.

Oh, as an actor?

I liked having jokes, but then that thing happened to Tamura.

Already…

That's when I thought I could be a good agent.

I understand well what actors feel. And so, here I am.

Do you have no regrets?

- You're taking it hard, huh? - Excuse me.

Well, I was already exhausted at that point.

I wasn't disappointed.

What bothers me are young people who waste opportunities.

I would punch them.

And often those who don't put in the effort are successful.

- It's so strange and unfair. - Already.

So why don't you leave?

- The logical thread is missing. - You don't work here to build campsites.

- It's glamping. - And who cares?

I do not care! How did I end up doing this?!

Did I scare you?

A bit'. Actually, a lot. I don't like it when you scream.

Does it bother you if I smoke now?

- Can I open the window? - Let it be.

- That's fine with me. - No, I'll smoke when we get there.

- Why are you laughing? - Luckily your girlfriend isn't here.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE A NEW MATCH!

- I do not have it! - Ah here.

-Lei It's a serious app. - Isn't this a dating app? - No!

\u003c/i> And serious. They check documents, income and so on.

- You're looking for a wife. - Already. - How good, considering our salary.

- Stop it. - I'm serious.

- Do you have a sexy profile photo? - Stop it.

Look, women don't like it if you talk like that on the first meeting.

No come on. It's not like I talk like that at the first meeting.

- So you will do it after you get married? - But no, I'll be kind.

You'll be like, "Make me tea! Make dinner!"

No, I'm not like that. I am very thoughtful.

Don't use any apps?

- I tried one. -How did it go?

I went out with a guy, then I canceled.

- Why? - I got scared.

Did something bad happen?

- No, on the contrary. It had gone well. - It's better that way.

But I was having a hard time and I didn't want to get his hopes up.

I understand.

- There were also too many less serious types. I deleted the account. - There are serious apps.

But do you really want to get married?

- Yes. - Why?

I feel alone.

Are there other reasons?

The pandemic depressed me too.

- And get an animal? - I cannot. I travel too much for work.

- You don't want to get married? - No.

- Really? - I'm sure.

I could get married and leave this job.

I could find a wife and move to the country.

It would be nice.

In fact, I could be the campsite caretaker.

- Oh. - And I could have a dog.

- I will come to visit you with friends. - Yes come!

It seems like a perfect idea to me!

There he is.

- Greetings. - Thank you for having us at such short notice.

No problem.

We have a little thought for her.

I do not drink.

She could share it with others.

I do not want it.

Did you eat?

Not yet.

- Then as soon as I finish we'll go. - All right.

- Can you wait for me to do these? - Certainly.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Excuse me .

- Yes? - Can I try too?

Put your strong foot forward.

Okay.

Keep your eyes on the stump.

Okay.

Simply drop the ax.

It was great!

Let's go. Get in mine. The parking lot is small.

All right.

- For table three. - Okay.

What do you think of the idea of ​​being a janitor?

I'm not a layabout.

Of course not.

And I don't need money.

We also thought it was too

much to ask her to be a caretaker.

But at the meeting we understood how much we know nothing about the area.

We would like to learn from her.

Would it be possible for you to be involved as a consultant?

Yes, if you were our consultant it would be perfect.

Let me tell you something personal.

My main job is an entertainment agent.

But I wonder if I want to continue like this.

0 if you want to change roles completely.

I'm thinking of becoming the caretaker.

That's why I would like to learn more about the area.

I would like to create a bond with you and make this project a reality.

And I would like it if you would advise me.

Teach me everything I need. Please.

It's been years since I felt as good as I did when I first chopped wood.

I thought maybe this is the place for me.

Deer pass there.

- Huh? - On the glamping grounds.

Do we have to build a fence to keep them out?

They jump more than two meters.

A three meter fence will be needed.

Would visitors still come?

It's not a rhetorical question.

Thanks for the udon, they were delicious.

- Thank you. - They really warmed me up.

It has nothing to do with taste.

- No, wait... - Thanks for coming.

Do you have any water?

I'm also using it to boil udon and it's running out.

- I'll go get her right away. - Okay.

- Today I can not. - I already have someone to help me.

180 yen missing.

Mayuzumi.

- Get taken to the station. - As?

You can take the train back to Tokyo.

- And you? - I'll stay a little longer.

Thank you.

Leave it to me.

I'm staying too. It's probably my last day at work.

- Do you smoke? - Yes.

Thank you.

A shot.

They hunt deer.

It's the first time I've heard a shot.

- Me too. - So how did you figure it out?

So. What else could it be?

She left a little while ago.

Thank you.

Sorry, about the previous discussion...

- Yes? - Do deer ever attack people?

No.

But sometimes you hear stories of deer attacks in tourist places.

Because they are used to people. The deer don't attack here.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Unless…

is not a wounded deer or its parent.

- Wound? - Shot by a rifle.

He might struggle if he fails to escape.

But it's very unlikely.

Wild deer are shy and run away when they see people.

In that case, it wouldn't hurt to have deer pass by the glamping site.

City people never interact with wild animals.

- You are right. - You can't touch deer.

It is not known what diseases they have.

But they run away immediately.

They won't let themselves be touched.

Maybe they won't even go near glamping.

Where will they go then?

I don't know.

.. somewhere else. Hana!

Hana, are you here?

Hana! If you're there, reply!

She didn't come here.

-Where could she be? - There are too many places.

Couldn't she already be home?

- What happened to you? - I cut myself.

Let me see. Come on!

Ah!

It's profound.

- Squeeze your wrist. - Okay.

Hold it high. She will stop bleeding.

- I am sorry. - No, it's my fault.

- Can you wait here? - Certain. Thank you.

If she comes back I'll call her.

Make yourself at home. There are food and tea.

Mr. Takumi!

I'm coming too!

EVIL DOES NOT EXIST
