- I'm leaving. - All right.

- Uhm... - Oh!

- You must be Mr. Adachi from Kyushu? - I'm Futoshi Adachi.

Pleased to meet you.

Gramps, Mr. Adachi just arrived.

What? I have no clue about it.

None whatsoever!

Come inside.

Oh, this boarding house is like a bird's nest.

Mr. Adachi, in what university do you study?

Well, uhm, at first, I need to make some money to go to a prep-school.

And only then I'll think about applying to university.

Excuse me, but what about the sunlight?

Not at this price.

And also, you've already...

Fine... I get it.

As long as I have a place to sleep in.

The person across is called Mr. Yamamoto,

and he's also going to prep school.

Is that so?

Getting down to business, can I have the rent for this month?

Huh? Uhm...

I'm supposed to start working today.

Can't I pay it at the end of the month?

We have a pre-payment system, understand?

Global Intelligence Company

What do you want?

Excuse me, does "Global Intelligence Company" operate here?

"Global Intelligence"?

Yeah, I think that's what it was called.

- But didn't that company go bankrupt? - What?!

I don't really know, but I'm pretty sure that was the case.

What the...?

H-Huh? Uhm... uhm...

Uhm... uhm... Huh... huh...

Who hits people all of a sudden?!

Shut up, you bastard! Keep quiet!

If there's a divinity that created the universe,

one that can be called God, then, dear God,

I would never ask for your help...

But I'll do my best, with all my strength, against all odds!

Please, watch me.

How am I supposed to live this month with just these?

I'm really sorry that Julie hit you last night.

Julie?

Don't tell the police, okay?

I brought you this as an apology. It's our leftovers.

If you'd like, you can have them.

Hey, what are you doing? Let's go.

I know.

You can just leave the pot in the washroom across the toilet.

Anyway, we're both flatmates.

So, let's be friends from now on.

All right?

And, by the way,

you better not be going to the cops for last night, you bastard.

Julie...

He looks like the snitching type, we have to be careful.

I don't know what I'm going to do, but I should, at least, eat.

Hey, it's me!

Open up!

Open up already! Hey!

Open it, you bastard!

Huh?

Oh, wrong room?

Well, my room is right across from this one.

Let me introduce myself!

My group operates in the Kanto region.

Kanto is...

Kneel down!

Let's wrap this up... Thank you.

Oh, you really seem to love horse racing.

Sure Victory

Who owns that horse?

That's a prep-school slogan.

One moment.

"Prep-school slogan", you say?

I can't find it.

I didn't order ramen.

- Ramen rice for me. - Fish stew, rice and miso soup.

Gyoza and fried rice for me.

- For me, gyoza and fried rice. - Mapo tofu.

- For me, Chinese rice bowl. - Chinese rice bowl, right? Okay!

Uhm, one Chinese rice bowl...

And then, one ramen rice...

And, after that... Let's see...

Let me see... Let me see...

Go 'round and ask once more.

Yes, sir.

What will be, will be. Don't be flustered.

Listen.

You'll never be a big man if you're bothered by people laughing at you. Understand?

All right, go ahead and drink.

Drink it up! This is a man's medicine.

Good, drink some more. Come on!

Granny, open up!

I'm back with some men medicine.

Mr. Adachi, it's morning already!

Who leads a life like that?

Bring yourself in.

Come inside! Up you go!

Don't barge in here while you're drunk!

The hell do you want?

What's with that look, you bastard?

Vanish!

Hey, you over there.

- Come this way. - What do you want?

Just follow me. Come on.

Hey, you, in broad daylight,

how can you do such a shameful act?

Huh? You should be ashamed of yourself!

What in the world are you talking about?

You should know this is wrong.

I mean, it might be a psychological thing

coming from frustration, excitement...

- Or even perversion. - I'm back!

What are you talking about?

Don't play dumb with me.

Jerking off in public is a proper criminal offence, a misdemeanor.

- Jerking off? - That's right, appeasing yourself.

Appeasing myself?!

Yes, appeasing yourself. Poaching the egg!

- Go, ask over there. - Appeasing...

Yeah.

Hey, old tree! Do you take me for an idiot?

I'm only scratching an itch over here.

And you're saying what?

All right, I'll show you!

- Hey, you... - I'll clear off your suspicions!

Have a closer look! Can you see how bad it has become?

Oh my, let me see what you have here.

This is a ringworm. Ringworm.

Ringworm?

This is what they call a jock itch.

Jock itch?

That's right!

Big bro Julie...

Big bro!

Big bro Julie isn't in his room.

Oh, damn it!

That bastard Julie sure is a pain in the ass.

You damn fool!

Take this...! You're such an idiot!

A blunderer like you should just get eaten by Doraemon and die.

Shit! Hold up, you bastard!

Motherfucker!

Shit...

What did I tell you?

Not to let big bro Julie out of my sight...

And you never let him out of your sight, right?

- Right? - Forgive me!

It was my mistake.

This is way beyond a mere mistake.

Take that, you motherfucker!

- Help me! - Wait, you bastard!

Stop, you bastard! Come here right now!

What?

- I'm sorry. - Hold up.

I told you to hold up.

Whenever I mistake the room...

- You always hit me... - Hold up!

Wait! Wait!

I told you to wait! Hold on!

This is actually your room.

- I just let myself in. - Who does that?

Nevermind, just come in.

Sit down.

I have to go to the cops because of something.

And I'll probably be sent to a prison in the middle of nowhere.

Don't ask me for the reason.

Hey.

I need you to do me a favor.

Huh? What exactly?

Take care of Jun while I'm gone.

- What? - As a pledge between men,

I will repay you for this.

This is a man's request.

Uhm, well...

Jun.

I'll be leaving now.

I don't need a send-off. As for a bitter parting...

Let's say farewell here.

Take care of yourself, okay?

Thank you.

♪ Kobe, what's the point of crying?

♪ It will only make me, who was abandoned, miserable...

For Julie to decide this on his own must be a bother to you, right?

Yeah...

I mean, telling me to take care of you...

What does that even mean?

You can treat me as your wife until he returns.

Stop it. What are you doing?

I won't be a hindrance for your future.

Please, stop!

- What will Mr. Julie think? - About that...

This is the way how we live here.

I'm not telling you to like me. Do you understand?

Since things turned out this way, I want to be responsible for you.

I'll do everything - work, look after you...

That's all right.

I had no intention of letting you take care of me from the start.

You know, Tokyo is a good place to live in for women with resolve.

You shouldn't feel embarrassed for when you cum. I'm sure you can improve.

Goodbye.

Hello! I'm from the rice shop.

Coming. Put it around there.

Okay.

Thank you for your patronage.

Stop immediately!

Move faster, you bastard!

I'm going to go where I want!

Hey, enough of that, stop here already.

Shit, they're gonna catch us anytime soon.

Okay, leave it to me.

There's no way I'm going to lose to that lame-ass police car.

It's fine, I'm telling you to stop it.

If they catch me, they'll revoke my license!

Our lives depend on it now!

- Uhm... What the...? - Oh! Hey!

Listen up, I turned myself in, and apparently what I did is not a crime.

He called me from the police station to come and get him.

That's right. Well, from now on, let's keep on getting along.

Okay? And also...

For looking after her...

I will pay you back for sure.

- No, I mean... - Enough of that!

I'm telling you it's okay. A man should keep his moral code.

Big bro, what's the matter?

Oh, it's nothing.

But how the hell did I get a ringworm?

Ringworm? Ringworm...

I think that's transmitted through direct contact, right?

Hey, you! You!

Huh?

What's the matter with you?

Why didn't you go to the pharmacy, and talk about your condition?

Huh?

That looks really bad.

Well, you see, I...

If I had the money to buy medication for ringworm,

I would prefer to eat something instead...

Wait up! If that's how a Tokyo resident acts,

it makes me feel extremely ashamed to be a Tokyo resident.

Can't you do anything about it?

Hey, go and buy some ringworm medicine.

Mr. Adachi said that he's going to buy some.

What? Adachi? Could it be that you two...

Shit... it's contagious!

Wait a moment! It must be from the lent futon the other day.

Good day, excuse me!

Oh my, look at this old style looking place.

That's right. I chose this place for its lost in time look.

Isn't it great?

It's very classic, right?

- Unload the luggage, please. - Okay.

My name is Masami Yukito, call me Ma-chan.

This is my boyfriend, Travolta!

Pleased to meet you, I'm Travolta.

- We're coming in! - It's so heavy!

I can't carry it anymore...

You can't just drop it here at the entrance.

Granny, excuse us.

I told you to call me Mama.

- Stop complaining already! - Travolta...

What's that? Be quiet!

I have no clue about it. None whatsoever!

It's so heavy...

- I can't do it... - Just hang on a bit more.

I hate this, let's put it down already.

Ouch, it hurts!

- Right here? - Yeah, we'll leave it there.

- Masami! - What?

Your neighbor's here - a school boy.

Hello, I'm moving into the next room today.

My name's Masami Yukito. Pleased to meet you.

I'm Mama, pleased to meet you, too.

There's no need for that, Mama.

Let's get along from now on, okay?

What was that?

Granny, can I have some boiled water?

Sure.

Hello there! I have a food delivery!

Young fellow, we haven't ordered any soba here.

You should go to the second floor. The second floor!

Yes, it must be here!

Oh, I'm late... Excuse me?

- Can you tell me where Ma-chan is? - On the second floor.

Second floor? I get it.

- You finally arrived! - Oh, Mama!

My apologies, I was at the hair salon.

- They were taking so long! - Never mind, come on in.

Ouch, it's hot!

Shit. This is the only one I had...

I won't let someone who can't be distinguished between man and woman treat me lightly.

There's a limit to what anyone can bear!

Will you stop with the noise?!

What do you want?

I'm scared!

- Hey, come here! - What's the matter with you?

Shut up!

Gramps, calm down...

Hold on.

After our son has met with a glorious death at Guadalcanal,

with honor, I have taken the responsibility upon myself

to carry out

my son's will for the country's future.

Furthermore, as a trained soldier myself,

I don't recall renting out a room to the lot of you!

Get out of here immediately!

Otherwise, I will use this memento bayonet

to split your guts open and end you.

- Look... - Hey...

- Gramps! Gramps! - How pitiful...

- Oh, my god! - What happened, gramps?

Leave me be...

That speech was highly anachronistic.

- Come here! - What are you doing?!

Just scram already!

What do you want? Somebody, help me!

Can you even understand the old man's feelings?

- What?! - This is how a man should...

Oh my, that wasn't very feminine!

I lost to a transvestite!

I refuse to accept this!

I'm really frustrated!

Your gang called.

Huh?

You got yourself into something again, didn't you?

Is this how things will be throughout my middle years?

That's fine, you can go.

I'm sorry...

Hey, hey, that's soaked wet. You might catch a cold.

It's so hard being a man.

What is this fool talking about?

I wonder what kind of job Julie has to do now?

You've got a bright future ahead of you!

Don't think about it.

What happened to Adachi? He didn't come today.

He's working part-time at an electric appliance store.

Is that so? Well, he can benefit from working in two different places.

Is it a surround speaker system? That's great...

It looks like quality stuff.

Hey, be careful with that!

- Welcome! - I'm back.

- I'm back. - Yeah...

What happened, Mr. Adachi? You have blood coming out!

You might wanna disinfect that.

Mr. Adachi, you screwed up again, didn't you?

Is that funny?

It is.

Whatever.

Avoid getting into trifling matters with girls. Pay no attention to them.

What? What did you say?

What does that mean?

What do you mean?

Hey, Adachi, come here!

Okay!

Yes?

Here's your pay for everything until today. You don't have to come tomorrow.

Huh? Ah...

- Welcome. - I'm back.

Kill me! Kill me! Just kill me!

Every single one of you is making fun of me!

What do you think you're doing? Hey!

You wanna get some?

Wait! Hey, hey!

Hey, when did I ever make fun of you?

You do all the time!

Calm down, you bastard!

Let me go! Ouch...

You bit me! Damn!

You shouldn't confront a drunk person.

- Was he bit by a dog or something? - How should I know?

- Mr. Adachi! - He's rabid!

Drop this act already!

Stop destroying my house!

Shut the hell up!

A monster has awakened inside of me! I have become one!

You transvestite lower animal!

I'm gonna kill you! You lower animals!

Shit! You're all laughing at me! Damn it...

Damn it!

Mr. Adachi!

Who are those lower animals that you referred to?

Who are they?

Let's go inside your room.

Sit down.

Mr. Adachi.

If you have something to say, wait until you're sober.

I understand you, Mr. Adachi, but aren't you a man?

That's right...

I'm such a naive man...

- Good morning. - Morning.

They're so noisy!

Mr. Adachi!

Can you go and ask them to be a bit quieter?

Okay, I understand.

They haven't quieted down one bit.

Mr. Adachi didn't return yet, I'm getting a bit worried.

I'll go and have a look, okay?

I have no clue about it.

None whatsoever!

- Hey, you, come here. - Huh?

- Can't you be a bit quiet? - What?

Didn't someone from our house come here?

Your house?

Chief!

Chief, she's asking about someone from her house....

Stop for a moment!

All right, keep the good work...

What is it?!

Didn't someone from our house come here?

- What? - A tiny student.

Hey! Hey, Adachi!

Hey, bring it over here and then move it there.

- And then, place it there. - Okay.

What are you doing?

I'm helping out!

Didn't you come here to make them stop?

But they're giving 5.000 yen for this extra work!

Unbelievable... Suit yourself!

It's so loud that I can't even scold him anymore.

♪ I'm all wobbly, although there's no wind...

Mr. Adachi, you have a visitor.

Good evening!

Oh, uhm... M-my bad... I got the wrong room. My apologies!

Uh-uh... Miss Jun...?

What the...? Uhm...

What the...?

I'm suddenly getting the spins.

What happened, Mr. Adachi? Did you drink too much?

Are you all right?

Hang in there!

Are you all right?

That's not how you do it.

This is how you do it when drunk.

You're so skillful!

I have had experience with this...

- Mr. Adachi... - Hey.

Are you going to stay over at Mr. Adachi's place?

Why don't I lend you a futon?

You know, he's got nothing but newspapers there.

Well, I...

And here I thought she wasn't the type to get involved into the neighbours' matters.

Mr. Adachi, can you still drink?

- I can! Of course I can! - Then, let's have a party together tonight.

A party?

Because I'm getting married next month. All right?

Drink it!

I will!

I have absolutely no idea

about what's going on, but I'll drink.

Mr. Adachi.

Come here for a moment.

Here's the futon. Hurry up, take it.

And also... Take this thing as well.

What is this towel for?

Place this down to prevent the sheets from getting stained.

Prevent the sheets from getting stained with what?

Nevermind, just take it.

Come on...

Oh, what a beautiful futon!

♪ My bag is full of junk

♪ It's filled with memories from yesterday

♪ Drinking alcohol leads to stories of the past

- Listen, sing that song. - Which one?

♪ I've already heard enough of those stories

That song you were singing when you were coming back home.

Ah, that one. Let's go!

♪ Nevertheless, I wonder where that guy is

Do it!

♪ And what he's doing right now

♪ I wonder if the two of them managed to get along well

♪ And even had children together

♪ I don't want to see him again

♪ But tonight, for some reason, feels lonely

♪ Life is an unstoppable train

♪ The days that have passed will never return

♪ Life is an unstoppable train

♪ We run through to the unseen tomorrow

That's not good...

I have returned.

I'm back home!

It's so itchy.

Ah, this feels good!

Hey, I was wondering if you could buy some ringworm medicine for me.

It's so itchy, I can't help it...

Not right now.

You're gonna catch it, too!

Women aren't affected by it.

Why don't you ask Mr. Adachi? He seems to have some good medicine for it.

What?

So, you did get the ringworm from him...

Don't be absurd, just go and ask him.

That bastard! I'm suffering here.

So itchy.

I apologize for underestimating you.

To Mr. Adachi: Next month, I'm having a wedding with my brother-in-law, Ken.

That will be the best thing for me.

But I didn't want him to be my first one.

So, I decided to choose the person who would be the least burdensome.

That's why I chose you. Please, don't be angry. - From Sanae.

Hey, runt!

Why are you here so early in the morning? Can your body even handle it?

- Hey, come here for a moment! - Are you half asleep or something?

Hey, sit here.

Come on, sit down already.

Adachi, I don't think you're fit for this kind of job.

Do you think you are? You could die.

Actually, I know of a pachinko parlor

that's recruiting security guards.

It's a good job. And it's easier.

It should be perfect for ya.

It's this place. Go check it out.

Hey, granny, I'm going out for a gang meet-up.

They're counting on me, I can't let them down.

If you with your gang

inconvenience the citizens, I'm going to get angry.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! Okay, understood.

Or so I'd like to say, but I would be jobless then.

And I think mine is the hardest of all professions...

Here they are!

Hey, hey, hey!

Come here!

Get this, you bastards!

Take this, you cunt!

Is that you, Adachi? What the hell are you doing here?

Stop this immediately! Run away from here!

Just run away already!

I told you to run away from here!

Hey, hey, that place's getting struck by hoodlums.

Don't we know this place? Hey, reverse now!

You bastard!

You damn bastard!

Julie!

Julie! Julie!

This boarding house has gone quiet lately. It's kind of eerie.

Hey, gramps, is our country on the brink of collapse?

Adachi...

You're the only one who came to visit me.

I knew it, Miss Jun hasn't been sleeping here for the past three days.

Well, that will complicate things...

I'd like to release that guy.

Is there anyone else who would be willing to vouch for him?

I wonder...

I have no clue about it. None whatsoever!

Well, anyway, our funds are already spread thinly.

I've really enjoyed these last three days.

I was just thinking about it.

It really felt like a honeymoon.

Hey, Miss Jun...

Would you like to go somewhere else?

Hey, Jun, would you like to drink some ice coffee in that cafe?

Let's rest for a moment. Come on...

Uhm, Miss Jun... Hey, hold on!

Let's go there. Come on, Miss Jun...

- Thank you very much. - Miss Jun...

When will we meet next time? Tomorrow?

He seems like a nice person to me...

Mister, hurry up and go away!

What are you doing?

Shit, just leave already!

Hurry up and scram!

- I'm telling you to go! - You're so rude!

- Miss Jun... - Jun...

What are you doing here?

Julie, what's wrong?

"What's wrong?" I've just been released from the police.

What the hell is this? Lake Ashi in Hakone?

I was wondering why you didn't come to get me. Did you go to Hakone?

However, why the hell do you have two of these?

It's fine. Can't you let go of such a trivial matter?

What's so trivial about it?

She went there with me, we've brought a couple of these...

We just went on a tour. Just a tour!

♪ Hakone's mountain...

What did you say?

Fucking weirdo...

Jun, wait a minute.

Jun!

I'm not going back to that boarding house.

Jun, wait! Jun...

Third Boarding House

Why in the world did you say that?

You were aware that you'd get hit, weren't you?

Sit still!

Did a cat get you?

It wasn't a cat. It was the lackey next door.

You better not.

Cats are salty, foamy, and disgusting.

Have you eaten a cat before?

Oh, it went up!

Ah... When our Tora disappeared during the war,

it was your doing, wasn't it?

I have no clue about it. None whatsoever!

You damned old fart! Come here!

- What are you doing? - Stop it! Stop it!

- This damn old fool! - Stop this immediately!

What did you do?

- Tell me now! - It hurts!

Damn old man!

- Confess! - This is not my fault.

You old fart!

Oh my, that looks painful!

I'm leaving now!

Oh, you're here.

I sincerely apologize for my earlier actions.

All right? Forgive me, okay?

You can have this.

Okay?

After all, you were the only one to pay me a visit.

Speaking of that unexpected meeting with that middle-aged guy from Hakone.

I knew about it.

You knew all along?

Yeah...

I knew about it.

And to tell you the truth...

It's all because of my debt.

You see...

Jun spent three days and three nights with him

to settle the debt.

But...

What do you think would have happened to me if I had confessed it at that time?

I wouldn't have been able to maintain my dignity as a man. You get that?

That would've completely made me look like a kept man.

That's why I decided to pretend that

I believed the story of you and Jun going to Hakone.

But you are a kept man in the end.

Well, you can say that...

- It was kind of like that... - Don't you think you're being cheap here?

I get it, I get it. You bastard.

Come on! What?

What's with that look, you bastard?

Are you sizing me up now?

Fine, fine. I get it. Just booze won't do it.

Just wait.

What do you want?

Mr. Adachi, let's have a heart to heart.

Look at the money I made.

And let me take care of this long-awaited rent payment.

Let me open it.

Here you go!

Let's have a heart to heart.

Yeah...

Is that you, Mama? I'm really sorry...

Can you help me save face?

Yeah...

That's right, I think the girls at the club are good.

Instruct ten of them to come.

Yeah, over here.

Yes, ten of them, okay? I'm counting on you. See ya.

Sorry for disturbing!

Oh, there's beer!

- Open your mouth! - Huh?

What are you doing here, gramps?

Hey, don't start...

You're so cute!

One moment, buddy, let me sit like this...

Oh my, are you for real?

Stop that! Stop that!

Stop messing around with me!

Stop it!

Looks like there's no need for me here anymore with all these ladies coming.

Try not to die there, gramps!

- I'm back home. - Oh...

It's quite lively there.

Julie was the one who called them.

What? Cabaret?

A cabaret girls delivery?

They're making a racket at the Third Boarding House and you can't sleep?

Excuse me for a moment.

That man must be half asleep. He's probably frustrated with something.

Tell him to appease himself,

and then go to sleep.

Yes, sir.

Listen, just appease yourself and go to sleep.

What? Like I said, appease yourself,

and then have a good sleep.

Hey, hey, do you think this one fits me better? Or maybe this one?

It's so hot and humid... I might die like this.

Maybe I should have been a top instead of a bottom.

Miss Jun...

Is she crying?

Julie...

What are you doing here in this heat?

Julie...

Julie's acting a bit weird. He was crying!

He's been like that ever since he came back this morning.

Miss Jun, we've got a problem.

- It's about Julie, right? - Oh, so you know?

He was expelled from the gang. He was sacked.

Aren't you glad about that?

Or maybe not?

Jun...

Jun...

You know...

Can't I go back?

You won't have any regrets later?

Yeah...

Jun...

- Julie... - Jun!

What's wrong with Julie?

- Julie! - Jun!

I guess I better return the electric fan.

- Jun! - Julie!

Jun!

- Julie! - Jun!

The hell you doing, you moron?!

Use your head, you bastard! Don't barge-in in moments like these!

Come on, come on! Jun!

- What was that? - Jun...

- Where are you going? - To my part-time job.

I don't wanna be here.

Even though it's so hot...

I've got a part-time job in a cool place.

A refrigerator store, huh?

- I feel dizzy... - Huh?

I got a sunstroke.

Wait... Hold on, Mr. Adachi!

I think it should be somewhere here...

I think I've put it here. Gramps, you know where's it?

I have no clue about it...

That phrase again...

Come on... You've hidden it, right?

- I have no clue about it! Ouch! - Look, here it is.

Told you. Hey, Mr. Adachi, here!

Julie wants you to hold these for him.

Do you understand? They're more important than life.

Do you understand?

What do you want me to do with this?

I thought you could stick it in.

If I were to do that, it would hurt like hell.

You bastard.

All right, are you ready? Ready? Go!

Yes. More. The eyes... Your eyes must look drowsier.

Yes, right here. That's it. Yeah, do it a bit more...

Come on, do it more! Yes, more!

That's it! That's good, good!

That's great! Great! Great!

What do you think you're doing? You damn fool!

Don't speak. You're not supposed to.

Ouch, it's hot! Who was it...

Who put these lights here?

- Shut up! - I'm sorry! It's hot!

- It's hot! So hot! - It's burning!

Hey, anybody!

Immediate evacuation!

What a hot action!

It's all right. We're just filming a movie.

Eating oden and drinking shochu at a food cart...

Does this mean I have finally started experiencing the melancholy of life?

How sad...

Isn't this shochu absurdly strong?

Is it? It's just the common stuff.

- Oh, what's up, Julie? - Hey.

Hey, aren't you Adachi?

Huh? Oh!

It's the lackey. Hey, kept man!

Hey!

You gave him to drink from that booze, didn't you?

Yeah, I had no idea he's your buddy.

What a fool...

- Hey! - Hi there...

Hey...

- What do you take Miss Jun for? - Hey, calm down.

Hey, shut your trap, will ya?

Hey, are you all right?

Hey, Adachi, are you okay?

Hey, lackey!

I'll kill ya!

Wait! Hey!

I've told you to calm down! Hey, wait a second!

I'll kill you!

Stop! Enough with that!

Stop it!

What are you trying to do to Julie?

I'm going to kill the lackey!

What's the matter?

Damn it!

Hey!

You can kill him to your heart's content.

Hold on!

Stop it!

Hey! Lackey, come out!

Come out and I'll show ya!

Do you have any idea what Miss Jun had to go through

because of you?

I also can't forgive him for today!

Get out!

I told you to come out! Can't you understand?

Forgive me. Let it slide this time.

This is a man's request. Okay?

I was wrong.

I mean... It's not like I...

Adachi...

You're lucky.

I mean, me...

When I was around your age...

Mr. Adachi...

Forgive him already.

But...

Please.

Checking the bag to see if it's not some garbage...

I just can't believe it. I might die tonight.

Mr. Adachi.

I've made you some ramen. Would you like to eat it?

I'm glad you're here!

I thought I was going to die from temptation.

- Here, take it. - Here's the temptation.

That sure looks tempting.

Mr. Adachi, will you sell these to me?

I can lend them to you if you want to look at them.

I really want you to sell them to me.

To tell the truth, I need to give these back to Julie.

Guess I don't need to buy them, then.

Don't take them, I didn't get a proper look at them.

You want to see?

Wouldn't you rather see it in person from me?

I'll do anything for you.

Julie will get mad!

I'm also mad at him, so it's fine.

That's youth for you, there's nothing to do about it.

Temptation

Hey, I'm back!

What are you doing?!

Why?

Hey... what the...? Stop that!

Idiot! If you kill me, you're also going to die.

I'm going to kill you.

- I'll kill you... - What for?

And then, kill myself.

- I'll kill you! - Calm down, calm down!

- Granny, don't stop me! - Julie...

Mr. Julie, hurry up, get inside and hide!

Miss Jun... W-wait...

- What the hell have you done this time? - I have no idea as well.

Out of nowhere, she suddenly hit me with a frying pan.

That really surprised me. What the hell did I do?

Maybe she's gone mad.

You've got to be kidding me.

She just snapped.

That hurts!

What in the world was that?

I'm sorry. I planned to kill myself with the gas.

What? Kill yourself with the gas?

Stop joking! This is a big disaster!

People should die from natural causes!

Even the floor has tumbled down...

There's a fire over there. Look!

And there's more over here! Put it down!

What are you doing? Mr. Adachi, you fool!

Ouch...

Those photographs...

Huh?

The photographs you've left with Mr. Adachi...

Burn every single one of them.

Okay... I understand.

Jun!

Where are you going?

I'm heading to work.

If I were to quit my job, you'd starve to death.

How can they be so bothersome?

Who in the world needs an ambulance right now?

Just pour some soy sauce or grease over it if you got burnt!

You idiot! Why are you picking them up?

So that I could see them one last time.

I mean, this model looks a lot like Miss Jun...

Out of the way!

What a big waste...

That woman... is Jun.

Huh?!

Ouch, it's hot!

I guess it's too late now.

When Jun left her home and had just arrived to Tokyo,

she was picked up by my gang, and that's how she was treated.

In other words,

these are souvenir pictures from back then.

I was certain that we would have made a lot of money if we had sold these...

But, when I looked at Jun,

I felt pity for her.

And so, I stole all of these pictures and hid them away.

That was about six years ago.

Gramps.

I have no clue about it. None whatsoever!

If you don't hand it over, you'll die immediately.

What?!

I'm the one cooking for you.

So, I could poison you any time.

- Can't I keep just one? - Of course not!

Hey, Adachi!

Do you think I'm bad?

I do!

You really think so?

I do, absolutely!

The likes of you, who only care about their own survival, are nothing but human scum.

Good-for-nothings useless to the society and mankind.

I can barely believe that

you're even allowed to wander around.

You unproductive inferior human beings.

I wish such scums would just vanish!

What about Jun?

I'd like to have Miss Jun around for as long as possible...

What about you?

I...

I have no idea what I'm doing.

I sometimes think I'm more of a failure than you are.

Sometimes, I think of sex.

Sometimes, I think about my future.

I mean, I have the potential for infinite possibilities.

I'm a lump of youth and hope.

Or so, is what I sometimes think.

Then, I think that I'm failure again.

This is getting harder and harder.

Adachi! Pull yourself together!

People never become what they want.

Right? Just look at me!

I'd rather die than end up like you!

I wanna cry, too, you know.

About my room...

But I'm too scared of Jun to go home.

In any case, that room's floor

is kind of gone, isn't it?

♪ My bluebird... Hey, do you know this song?

I don't know. No clue whatsoever.

How come you don't know it? That's no good...

Julie and Mr. Adachi. What are you doing here?

You see...

I'm going to sleep here.

Me too.

That's okay. I'll go get something to cover you.

Mr. Adachi...

- I want you to have this. - This?

It's fine. Because this is me before I became who I am now.

If I were to accept this,

I would end up dying night after night.

That's fine. You can die as much as you like.

And since you're so willing to die for me,

I wouldn't mind lending you my hands, mouth or anything else.

Huh? What are you talking about?

We're discussing about the ringworm pathogen.

- You can go back to sleep. - Okay!

Miss Jun...

Julie is a real man. That's what I believe.

- Good morning! - Good morning.

What happened here?!

- Stop meddling. - I hate dealing with people like you!

Get lost!

It would have been better if it had all burned down.

How in the world did this mess happen?

Do you know the head of Julie's gang?

He was caught selling obscene materials.

Wow, obscene materials? Really?

Oh my... Wow!

- Wow... - Mr. Adachi.

Did I surprise you? I'm only here for a short while.

I really wanted you to see me in my wedding kimono.

She's leaving.

She's really leaving.

She's in love with you, you know?

It's not too late now! You still have time!

Right?

Let's go!

Am I going, too? Because I was the model?

You must be joking! I'm the victim here!

Julie!

Both of you, please come with me in the car.

What do you mean? I know nothing!

Then, how come you were managing such a sketchy place?

You can't take us along just because we provided them

with some questionable accommodation!

I have no clue about it. None whatsoever!

All right, you're coming with us as witnesses.

I don't want to.

- What are you doing? - Follow me, this way.

What's that?

- What are you doing? - This must be a joke!

How did this happen?

We'll be away for a little while.

Take care of things in our absence!

♪ My bag is full of junk
