01x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

Underground idol group

Baku-on Angels' Coco

is actually

my high school classmate.

She had a breakdown

because of a terrifying stalker.

Good night.

Coco talked to me about it,

so I introduced her to Mr Akechi.

Mr Akechi became her bodyguard

and we all stayed

at Mr Akechi's office.

The person

who reached out to Coco is

k*ll him.

You're an angel

that can make many people smile.

Are you okay? Call an ambulance!

Cancel today's concert!

Don't let the audience in!

Send his vomit to forensics!

Was he poisoned?

Akechi, you were pretty shaken up

at that time

when we didn't know

if it was an accident or not.

What do you know?

I have a duty of confidentiality.

There's nothing

I can tell the police.

The guy, Tabata,

is called Lucifer by some fans.

There's an account under the same

name on a social media site.

"Die, burgundy suit guy!

Don't go near Coco-meow!

Out of my way, Curly Hair!

Showa period's

withered pampas grass."

He even uploaded a photo of you.

You wanted to k*ll him

because he went too far?

This is absurd.

Akechi

If you were to be put

into a coffin tomorrow,

what will be

your last supper tonight?

I'll order the special pork chop

cutlet rice bowl at Imura-an

in Takazawa Shopping Street,

near my home.

They don't do deliveries though.

Mr Katono!

Here you are!

Was he poisoned or drugged?

I got the result of his blood test!

It wasn't overdose

of sleeping pills or aspirins.

No bacteria in question

were detected,

so it probably wasn't caused

by infection.

What? What about the vomit?

I got the result.

There is nothing unusual!

What? That's absurd!

Anyway, Mr Akechi is innocent!

Oh, what a pity.

I thought I could have Imura-an's

pork chop cutlet rice bowl.

I was looking forward to it.

Blimey! The guy cried wolf.

Nice to meet you.

Miss Ringo, I presume.

I'm Reizoko.

The lady who chopped her husband up!

Hey

You survive miraculously

from the rubbish shredder.

Thanks for the other day.

Ms Maria has told me

about your good work.

I'm going to join you now,

and I look forward

to working with you.

- Same here.

- Thank you.

I couldn't sleep last night.

Somehow

I was excited.

"Edogawa Detective Office"

Welcome back.

The girls have left for now.

I see.

Ichigou.

Will you make me some tea?

Yes.

Did the stalker really die?

He's unconscious, but he's alive.

- He's alive?

- Yes.

Oh, thank goodness!

I thought Coco did something

What a relief!

I was just overthinking.

No.

It probably isn't overthinking.

You heard what she said, right?

I was an angel held c*ptive,

but the heart of my true self

has just been set free!

If something within her

has awakened

To be precise,

if someone caused it to awaken

Could it be Maria?

So far, Maria has been

k*lling people like a performance.

If Maria is involved

behind the scenes,

how did she k*ll the stalker?

No, it can't be! Coco wouldn't be

brainwashed by Maria

Ichigou, you taught her how to cook

yesterday, didn't you?

Yes, but what's the matter

with that?

Was there anything wrong with her?

No, I don't think so.

What's this?

It isn't mine. That bin is for

incombustible waste, right?

I throw away bottles

as recyclable waste.

The last time you used this kitchen

was when you cooked with her?

Yes, but Mr Akechi,

Coco can't be a m*rder*r!

Did you put mushrooms

in the spaghetti yesterday?

No.

Mr Akechi

Stay here.

Room 512's Mr Tabata

has regained consciousness.

- Thank goodness.

- Yes.

- His condition is stable too.

- Yeah?

"Minami Aoyama General Hospital"

Mr Tabata?

Please wake up.

Miss Coco is worried about you.

Coco-meow

Am I too late?

Oh, Mr Detective?

Maria

Please mind your head.

What a surprise.

He really has recovered.

Just as what Ms Maria told us.

Congratulations

on your hospital discharge.

Okay, let's go back

to where Coco is.

Where Coco-meow is?

Is Saint Mary the one

whom the beautiful angel waits on?

No.

It's the formidable evil woman,

Maria.

If you were to be k*lled tomorrow,

what would be the last thing

you eat?

"Episode 8"

Where is Tabata?

He's woken up, so he made

the needed arrangements and left.

Where did you bring him?

What are you talking about?

At my office's kitchen,

I found a piece of white mushroom.

It's Amanita virosa, right?

The mushroom has another name.

Despite its deadly poison,

it has a white,

beautiful appearance.

In Europe, it's called

Destroying Angel,

an angel that kills.

Isn't it the perfect name for Coco?

I'll ask again.

Where is Tabata?

You're pretty desperate.

Are you making so much effort

for the cute owner

of the bento food truck?

Well, naturally,

the girl will be sad if her friend

becomes a m*rder*r.

Answer me, Maria!

I don't like this.

I hate it when you look so restless

and desperate for that girl.

Just answer me.

Do you think I will?

Mr Detective

I've made up my mind.

The next one I'll k*ll

is the bento

food truck's young lady.

Right in front of your eyes.

Coco

Welcome back.

Where have you been?

You suddenly ran out

and I was worried.

Mr Akechi.

I want to know the truth.

Did Coco really

Call her here.

- You mean now?

- Ichigou.

Are you prepared to know the truth?

What do you want to talk about?

I think I should tell you

about the stalker.

He regained consciousness

and was discharged from hospital.

I see.

So, Coco

Where did you go

before the rehearsal yesterday?

Were you going to k*ll the stalker?

I got it wrong, didn't I?

You didn't do that, right?

You got nothing wrong.

I fed that guy poisonous pasta

to punish him.

Then when you suddenly said

you wanted to learn how to cook

Yes.

I guess just some poisonous mushroom

can't k*ll a person.

But

I feel a bit relieved

somewhere in my mind,

because as an idol,

if I become a m*rder*r,

it'll be over for Baku-on Angels.

Coco

I'm afraid

the main dish

has just been served.

It was left in the drain.

You added it to the pasta

and let the stalker eat it, right?

It's called Destroying Angel,

the most fatal poisonous mushroom

among Japan's wild mushrooms.

Just one mushroom can k*ll an adult.

Symptoms of poisoning appear

in a few hours after ingestion,

but they subside within one day.

But what comes after

is the dreadful part.

Seven days after you think it's

cured, the poison will take effect.

The victim will vomit

dark red blood,

writhe in severe pain,

and eventually die.

Seven days later.

But he was sent to the hospital

and he was treated!

Simple treatments like

stomach pumping are pointless.

He can only wait for his death.

Oh, no

Everything goes as Maria wishes.

Ms Maria

said we'll k*ll that guy

for the sake of our dream.

She said I was an angel

who could make many people smile.

Coco!

You were incited by Maria

and committed a crime

that can't be undone!

No! The jerk deserves to die!

The stalker will probably

be hidden somewhere for seven days

and wait for his death,

as you wish.

Then his body will be destroyed

without a trace.

If no dead body is found,

the m*rder won't be found out.

If there's no m*rder,

the police won't take action!

However, do remember this.

You m*rder*d someone.

But from now on,

you'll pretend to be an angel

and continue to be an idol?

Coco, let's go to tell the police.

You can still turn over a new leaf.

After all,

you were only manipulated by Maria!

Tell me.

A m*rder*r can't be an idol?

Who says that?

The person

who really saved me and our dream

isn't you, Ichigo.

It's Ms Maria.

- Wait!

- It's no use.

It's too late now.

Your friend

isn't in this world anymore.

Will Coco-meow really come

to this place?

Yeah, in seven days.

Seven days?

Coco will quit being an idol for you

and she wants a quiet life here

with you.

Of course, it's just you and her.

Eh?

In the coming seven days,

we'll take turns to look after you.

He might not look it,

but he is a French chef.

You'll be served delicious food.

Seven days

I've made the meal for you today.

Your stomach is empty,

you must be hungry.

This is vegetable pot-au-feu,

it's easy to digest.

Excuse me, you are Coco-meow's

Siblings.

Siblings?

You all are?

Yes, we're all her siblings.

We don't look alike at all though.

Try it while it's still hot.

Thank you

So, the arrogant monster

meets his last seven days.

The angels begin

to pursue their dream again

like nothing had happened.

The world belongs

to only you and me.

"Ichigo Deli"

Hey, Ichigou Kobayashi.

Mr Akechi

Actually, I cooked something,

which is unusual for me.

So I'd like you to try it, chef.

Mr Akechi, you cooked?

Deep frying it to make it crunchy

is quite difficult,

so please give me some tips.

You know

the deep-fried chikuwa

wrapped in seaweed

made by the bento food truck

near my office is my favourite.

I won't get tired of eating it

every day,

no matter how horrible a case

might be.

Eating the deep-fried chikuwa

strangely calms my heart.

To me, this dish is the only one

in the world.

Mr Akechi

I'm not used to making this,

so maybe you won't like the taste.

I'll try it, then.

What do you think?

Not bad?

The taste is not bad, is it?

It's bad.

It's awful.

You can't cook at all,

I can't believe you've been

nagging me about the dishes I make!

All right,

I'll make deep-fried chikuwa

wrapped in seaweed

especially for you, as an example.

Ichigou Kobayashi.

It's "Ichigo."

I promised before to protect you.

I didn't want to tell you,

but Maria made it clear to me

that she'd k*ll you

in front of my eyes.

You knew, as I thought.

Someday,

in front of Goro Akechi's eyes,

I'll k*ll you.

Maria said the same thing to me

quite a while ago.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I

Because I thought I would become

a burden to you.

I have a suggestion.

Will you move in to my office,

and live with me there?

Huh?

Eh? What

Mr Akechi,

I appreciate the offer, but

I'm still not married,

can you be sure we won't do

anything wrong if it's just us two?

I didn't say it's just you and me.

They're so heavy! I went to buy

daily necessities and got here late.

Momoko, you too?

Mr Akechi told me what happened.

This is how I unexpectedly started

living under the same roof

with Mr Akechi.

But

I'm so bored.

Excuse me, Mr Akechi.

What's the matter?

I'll go buy something for lunch

and supper at the supermarket.

What food ingredients do you want?

I'll go and buy them.

No, thanks! I'll go myself.

What if someone suspicious

talks to you?

I'm not a primary school girl.

You see who grows the vegetables

at the supermarket,

but you can't see who is suspicious.

I see no rational reason for you

to go shopping.

- Forget it, then.

- Oh, also,

Ichigo Deli shouldn't do business

for a while.

What?

It's too risky to let people see you

all day at the roadside.

Come on!

I'll go to my usual supermarket

to buy what you need for dinner.

It will take some time.

Eat what I have in the fridge

for lunch.

He cares about you very much,

Ichigo.

The premium grilled eel rice boxes

have arrived!

"Shinsen Ichinoya"

Bon appetit

Wow, thank you for buying ours too!

You came at the perfect time.

We're lucky! This is a reward

for being upstanding.

Mr Akechi went out to buy something,

but he'll be back soon.

We'll wait for him then,

while eating this.

But Mr Akechi is so mean!

He doesn't allow me to go out

at all, not even to the corner shop!

He's too overprotective, right?

That's bragging. You disgust me.

Mr Takahashi, you just don't know

what a pain in the neck he is!

Mr Akechi got us everything we need,

but look at this T-shirt!

It's like he's lecturing me.

Ake-T? I'm jealous!

What makes you jealous?

Why do you have to hide like that?

Because of Maria!

Maria? Who is that?

Gosh!

- Do you know her, Takahashi?

- No.

She is

Well

a troublemaker who appears

from nowhere occasionally?

Sushi is here!

- Sushi too?

- Sushi too?

We put it on Mr Akechi's tab!

I'll open the door.

Coming!

Whoa! You startled me!

When When did you come back?

I missed the right timing.

I heard "Ake-T? I'm jealous."

- Thanks for waiting.

- Thank you.

Mr Katono, how can I help you?

Well, I thought I should apologise

to you Mr Akechi,

because I treated you

like a suspect.

Please sir

I'll be his boss three years later,

please forgive him for my sake.

Mind your own business!

Have you found Tabata

after he went missing after that?

Well

I have no idea where he is.

I see.

Well, Ichigo.

You always say he's overprotective,

but you're happy, aren't you?

Mr Akechi is serious

about protecting you.

Well, yeah.

A while ago, I said to you

that you should leave Mr Akechi.

But I take it back.

Don't leave his side.

Momoko?

Why don't you tell him frankly

how you feel too?

Tell him you love him.

No

It's impossible!

There's no way I can say that!

Why?

Because

I know

Mr Akechi doesn't feel the same.

I wonder.

Oh, that's right!

I convinced him to let me open

Ichigo Deli at lunchtime!

What should I make?

Thank you! Please come again.

Four daily special bentos, please.

Welcome! You came yesterday too,

didn't you?

Somehow I've totally become

a fan of your bento.

I'm so booming happy!

What's that?

"Booming happy" is top-class happy.

I rarely use "booming."

I'll prepare them now.

- Oh? You do catering service too?

- Yes, I do.

In that case,

I'll ask for your service.

Yes? Really?

I'll invite five, six friends over

to hold a little party this weekend,

and I've been thinking

about what food I should prepare.

Is it too sudden?

It's no problem at all.

But the place will be a bit far.

I'll drive this van

straight to wherever you want!

How boomingly reliable you are!

Thanks for waiting.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Your 400 yen change.

Thank you for your purchase!

Blimey, the girl's head will rattle

if she shakes it.

Her bentos are

absolutely delicious though.

She does well for selling them

at such reasonable prices.

Why?

I only allow you

to do business at lunchtime.

I can take this opportunity

to get more rich customers.

It's a chance to explore and develop

catering service too!

She doesn't run a tab

like you-know-who.

Such a wonderful customer likes me,

I can't turn her down now!

I won't let you do business

at lunchtime if you don't like this.

Momoko, say something!

Settle it by thumb wresting.

Good, I won't lose－

I won't do it!

I I'm happy when people

enjoy the dishes I make.

That's all I want!

Anyway, turn her down. Okay?

Fine! I'll turn her down, right?

Stupid stingy Akechi!

I'm making an effort!

Ah! Crisps thief!

"Akiba BOX"

"From 18:00, Baku-on Angels"

Thank goodness.

Mr Akechi, you're here!

You said she wasn't here?

Coco said she'd return

by the time our concert is held

The stalker hasn't been coming

since that time,

but Coco seems

to be hiding something.

Is this related

to someone called Maria?

Why do you know the name?

She said today was the seventh day,

so she would go see Maria.

Do you have a clue where she is?

Instead of a clue

We all installed a GPS tracker in

our phones because of what happened.

Nigou!

Is your bike's fuel tank full?

Did something happen?

I'll investigate something

and will be back at night.

Do lock the door properly.

Okay, I will.

Mr Akechi, helmet.

Let's go.

See you!

Thank you for coming

on such short notice.

The restaurant I ordered

catering service from

couldn't do it for me.

I'm happy you asked me again.

I'm really sorry

to make you come this far.

Today's party venue is up there.

It's like a test of courage, right?

No

There's nobody around,

and it's quiet.

We don't need to hold back,

we can be as loud as we want.

I'll take the food upstairs.

I've chilled one of my best wines,

will you serve it with the food?

Yes.

Oh?

She ordered food for six

This is the wine she mentioned?

La Vie "an" Rose?

I've never seen this wine before.

Okay, Kurukku.

Wine, La Vie "an" Rose.

Kurukku. Do you mean La Vie en Rose?

- It's "en"?

- Here is the result.

"La Vie en Rose"

"Life in pink"?

Wow! I'll tell Momoko too.

All right

Good.

"Catering for Madame!"

- The scenery is quite good, right?

- Yes!

Why

They are all members of my family.

You're

Are you surprised?

"Boomingly"?

Maria

Now, have a seat.

Let's begin our party.

Why are you here?

I ordered catering from you

because I wanted to talk to you.

I have nothing to say to you!

Just listen to what I say, then.

We haven't met in a while.

Sorry about the other day.

You're

Have a seat.

I'll keep your mobile phone.

It isn't poisoned.

It's pain au campagne.

Enjoy it with the sparkling wine.

I won't eat or drink.

Young lady, calm down.

Leave us alone.

Yes, ma'am.

This wine is pretty difficult to get

in Japan.

Do you know why I chose this wine?

It's young, pretty, and sweet.

The wine is just like you.

Don't look so scared.

You need something entertaining

while enjoying wine, don't you?

How about this?

This is

Coco-meow

Coco?

Mr Lucifer.

Thank you for waiting

for seven days.

Coco-meow,

I've been waiting for you.

For the whole time

I missed you so much.

Me too.

I've been waiting so long

for today to come.

It was the longest seven days

in my whole life.

Are you hungry?

I made this again,

it's the Neapolitan from that time.

I wasn't good at cooking,

but I thought about you

while I was cooking.

It made me think for the first time

that cooking is enjoyable.

I'm so happy.

Now

dig in.

Oh?

I really wanted

to see that look on your face,

that's why I made effort to cook.

This is the perfect last supper

for the monster.

No

How could you!

Why did you do this to Coco?

Look, he has come too.

Mr Akechi?

Have a look, Mr Akechi.

The arrogant monster k*lled himself.

It's all because he wanted

to steal my white wings.

Where is Maria?

She isn't here.

Now, Ms Maria should be

having lunch with Ichigo, I think.

Ichigo?

Mr Akechi, this

"Catering for Madame!"

Who is "madame"?

That rich lady?

Did you

lure me out to come here?

"Dialling: Ichigou Kobayashi"

The number you're calling

isn't reachable

Darn

Lend me yours.

How do you get the photo just now?

You don't know that?

Okay, Kurukku.

- The photo of wine from Ichigo.

- Kurukku.

- This is the photo.

- Show me what you're worth now.

Okay, Kurukku.

Tell me where this photo was taken!

The place it was taken is

this place.

How excellent you are!

Okay, Kurukku.

Let me call you Sangou

starting today.

I do not understand.

Mr Akechi, hop on now!

I actually warned you,

but you still wouldn't

leave him at all.

Are you an idiot?

Why Mr Akechi?

You just happened to ask him

to do an infidelity investigation.

Young lady, don't you understand?

This is fate.

Fate?

"15 years ago"

Soon after I started working,

I had no dream or hope.

Every day was dull, as I travelled

between home and office.

At that time,

I met him at a university's festival

I happened to attend.

It smells lovely.

Hey, Akechi, what are you grilling?

Fillet steak, as you can see.

I asked my grandfather to give me

some from Ogiya Department store.

I wanted to take this opportunity to

promote our Japanese Black Beef.

But we're selling crepe!

Excuse me, how much is the meat?

Taking the cost price into account,

well, it's about 6,500 yen a piece.

Nobody would pay 6,500 yen

at a school festival!

Gourmet is culture,

an investment on yourself.

I'll buy it.

6,500 yen, right?

Eh?

Hang on.

I'll grill a new piece.

Why? I'll have that one.

Eating is an important event

in a person's life.

The number of times you eat for

the rest of your life is limited.

That's why I think

that one shouldn't compromise

on even one meal.

The piece of meat should be grilled

to the doneness you desire.

What do you recommend?

Medium rare, with a rosy centre.

I'll have that, then.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

That was a dream-like moment.

The meat at that time

It's so good.

was delicious.

So delicious that

I want to make it my last supper.

However,

it was a distant memory

from a long time ago.

That's right.

A dream is different from reality.

My reality

was a boring woman

who was nothing special.

Then,

I got married to a boring man.

I tried to convince myself

that it's a woman's happiness.

But the red thread of fate

pulled us together

a decade after that.

It smells lovely.

Here.

No, no. I want it to be medium rare.

I can't accept that order

using this thin piece of meat.

You're a pro.

You need to make the centre rosy,

no matter how thin the meat is.

Now, do it again.

Gosh!

Looking at his profile,

my memory returned clearly.

The number of times you can eat

in your life is limited,

so you shouldn't compromise

on even one meal.

That's why you asked Mr Akechi

to do an infidelity investigation?

Yes.

Then he told me

what really is happiness for me.

You mean k*lling people?

Everyone doesn't know

that it is so exciting and fun.

You're crazy.

The reason why m*rder is ill*gal

is perhaps because

it gives you pleasure.

It's been nice talking to you today.

Speak of the devil. Right?

Mr Akechi

Why?

How can you become like that?

I'll ask you, then. Who are you?

In the world, most people don't know

who they truly are.

They don't realise.

Even if they do,

they shove it under the rug.

I am who I am.

Maria Magdalena.

Hang in there.

You can die

in front of his eyes soon.

- Ichigou Kobayashi!

- Mr Akechi!

You made a sound argument, right?

That's why this happened.

You mean I asked for it?

Yeah.

But as you know,

I'm so annoyingly overprotective.

Mr Akechi

Ichigo!

Mr Akechi!

It's okay now,

Ichigou Kobayashi.

It's "Ichigo"!

Thank goodness!

Nigou

Look after her.

Ichigo.

Please stop putting her

in dangerous situations.

We are Adam and Eve.

We don't need anyone else

present at our last supper.

I'm the only one for you.

Wait!

It's fate

You and I.

We're destined to meet.

And

we'll be alone when the world ends.

Everything is fate.

You should know that too, don't you?

Maria

What you're going to do

I know the answer.

I

Because our souls are connected.

Mr Akechi?

If my son

meets someone who matches

his wavelength perfectly,

I have a feeling he'd go

to a crazy world with her.

No, Mr Akechi.

Don't go there!

Mr Akechi!

I love you, Mr Akechi!

I really love you!

It has nothing to do with Maria,

it doesn't matter what you think.

I just

I just love you!

So, please, don't go!

Thank you

Kobayashi

Ichigo.

You called me Ichigo?

Mr Akechi!

Welcome to your destiny.

Mr Akechi!

- Ichigou Kobayashi.

- Not bad.

No need to worry.

I will protect you too.

No!
