01x07 - The Duel

[bunniefuu]

Train arriving at platform three.

Please wait behind the line.

Today will be a very busy day.

RAGE It was nice of Ms.

Washimi to talk to the president on my behalf but given what Director Ton is like I'm a little scared.

Fenneko, what's up?
There's chaos in Accounting! ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT Good morning, everyone! Good morning! Let's do our best today! Mrs.

Kabae, good morning! Mrs.

Kabae is down too! Be careful! Director Ton! I beg you! Please stop! I'll change the water in the humidifier! Don't be absurd, Komiya! It's my problem, I'll deal with it.

No way! I never imagined such mass devastation.

TEA ROOM This is awkward but I suppose he's trying to repent.

Can I join you?
What is going on?
I can't take Director Ton's cheerful mood.

I need to hide.

Our minds and bodies can't function properly in there.

Oh! You also ran away?

-I am going crazy!
-What, what?
We're cramped here! I'm not coming to hide! I just need someone to open the jar for me.


-I'll do it!
-Director Ton! This is the evacuation area for Accounting.

Excuse me! Coming through! Retsuko, don't tell me you're bringing this cup of tea to Director Ton?
I feel like I should.

Seriously?
You're returning to the danger zone?
Be careful! Don't make eye contact! I'll be fine.

Director Ton.

Here's your tea.

Thank you! Excuse me.

Don't tell me Is she the one who ratted me out to the president?
KARAOKE By the looks of it, it's a success.

Thank you very much, Ms.

Washimi! It's all thanks to you! But it's too early to celebrate, isn't it?
There's still a high wall between you and Director Ton.

He's being nice because he received a warning.

Nothing has changed in your relationship.

You two need a chance to find common ground.

How about a drinking party?
I don't really like office parties.

A lot of girls are like that lately.

Yes! The young people I know are the same! Hey, Retsuko.

You might think it's old
-fashioned, but developing relationships over drinks is still very effective.

Be smart and take the opportunity.

Man, I thought I was going to die!
-Mr.

Haida!
-What?
Are you coming to end
-of
-the
-month office drinks?
Ah, what a pain.

What should I do?
We pay money to listen to the bosses singing their own praises.

I wish they'd give us a break.

Put me down as a "no".

That's a "no" from Mr.

Haida.

How about you, Ms.

Retsuko?
A "yes" from me.

"Yes" it is.

Retsuko, are you going?
Yes.

I changed my mind.

What?
Didn't you just say office parties are a pain?
Shut up! I changed my mind, okay?
! Just put me down as a "yes"! Should be fun.

I'm in too.

IZAKAYA HOT POT Where are you now?
What?
Just getting on the train?
But we've started the first round of drinks already! Okay.

Okay, understood.

Just make your way over here.

sh*t This party was supposed to be my chance Cheers!
-Where is Haida?

-He's running late.

He has some nerve sitting next to Retsuko! Haida! Over here! Director Ton, you really know how to drink! I'm in a good mood today.

Director Gori, Ms.

Washimi, please watch over me.

Director Ton, thank you for your hard work.

Oh, short Retsuko! Let me refill your glass.

Label facing up, you see! So you remember! You still aren't pouring it the right way.

Give me the bottle.

What are your plans about the job?
Are you staying?
Or quitting?
I intend to continue.

I see.

I also learned my lesson.

I was worked to the bone when I was young.

Now if you give orders the same way, they complain of "power harassment".

Times have changed.

I guess I'm growing old.

You've been through a lot as well.

I went a little too far I'm sorry about everything.

Director Ton I am sorry for getting things wrong all the time.

There's so much I can learn from you! And don't be hard on yourself.

The department wouldn't be the same without your strong leadership.

And I'm sure that the president knows how you feel.

The president?
How do you know that the president cautioned me?
So the truth comes out.

You short
-timer! No! I was just trying to deepen my relationship with you.

I can't stand women Actually I can't stand women like you! That backfired completely! Thank you! Thank you! And now, as usual, it's time for the karaoke competition! Your party organizer Ookami will sing first.

I was a new hire Now I'm spitting hot fire T
-O
-N's about to B
-R
-I

-G The hurt on you Hey Retsuko! Why you working If you hate your job so bad?
I dunno It's just what you do 'Cause Retsuko's killin' time Until she finds herself a man I dunno It's just what you do Meek and mediocre You never really stand out Waitin' for your check Like it's nothing but a hand
-out You're not the best Or the worst I've seen I called you out hard And I'mma get away clean Ton! Ton! Retsuko! He just dissed you!
-And he isn't wrong!
-Shut up! Retsuko! Retsuko! Retsuko! Retsuko! Are you going to let him say that?
! Aren't you upset?
Retsuko! Retsuko! Retsuko! Retsuko! Retsuko! I I No comeback from you then?
What's the matter?
Does the cat have your tongue?
This is why you're on the bottom rung Chained to your computer And you're sweating like a loser While I crush you like a closer Like a lyric bulldozer Asleep on your feet Come on, you're dead meat No play, you're DOA You got nothing to say You're lazy 'Cause you go with the flow And I can't figure out If you're coming or going Your sad little life Got no rhythm or rhyme I betcha that's why You get drunk all the time There you have it.

Director Ton's epic rap! Ton! Ton! Ton! Director Gori Ms.

Washimi Even though you were rooting for me I'm sorry.

I couldn't do it after all.

I'll sing the song for this number.

Oh, sure.

Is it a nursery rhyme?
SEND What is this?
Retsuko! Retsuko! Retsuko! Retsuko! Retsuko! Retsuko! Retsuko! Retsuko! RAGE Why'd you go again?
Nobody wants to hear it! Your beats are weak And your rap sucks Look at you standing there Wanting a reply Here it comes, pig! Here's my battle cry! You're a shitty boss! You're a shitty boss! I hate you so much! Remember this.

Ten years Twenty years from now One day you'll become a shitty boss too Excuse me.
