04x08 - Headhunting

[bunniefuu]

What? You play bass guitar?

Yeah.

Can you play for me sometime?

Fenneko, do something about Tsunoda!

I'm afraid she's going to follow me home!

Okay, fine.

Tsunoda! Let me tell you something.

Haida comes from

a rich family.

What? Really?

Tell us more.

He may be repulsive,
but his place is nice.

-Nice place!
-Nice furniture!

When did you take those?

His parents own the place,
so rent is free.

-So he's a--
-Spoiled rich kid!

Stop it!

Your parents own rental property in Tokyo?

Incredible! Why didn't you tell us?

Brownnosing. Seducing women with money.

I'm not seducing anyone!

Fenneko! What's the idea?

I'll send these to Retsuko.

You idiot! Wait!

SEND

Stop!

RAGE

WE'RE HAVING A BLAST!

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I see why you feel bad for his family,

but Director Ton chose to quit, right?

It was Director Ton's decision to quit.

You don't need to feel guilty about it.

Yeah. I guess so.

Is that what everyone said?

How did you know?

I get it.

You want to help Director Ton,
but no one will support you.

Right?

Yeah.

Otherwise you wouldn't have come to me.

Yeah.

Look, I'm an outsider,
so I'm not going to rescue him.

That wouldn't be fair.

Yeah.

You should be the one to act, Retsy.

Your abandoned Death Growl channel

has over 1,5 million subscribers

and the number is slowly growing.

This isn't just a number.

It's a measure of your influence.

Our stock prices have returned to normal!

The market approves of the restructuring!

You're amazing, President!

Not at all.
I couldn't have done it without you.

Absurd! It's all thanks
to your wise discernment,

oh, supreme leader!

Supreme leader, my ass! That cocky brat!

Wait until our next financial results.

He lacks actual business experience.

That'll be clear sooner or later.

When we end up in the red,
we'll call a board meeting

and we'll get him demoted.

ACCOUNTING

Retsuko, have you finished that work
left by Kabae?

No, sorry. I'll hurry.

It's okay. I'll take it off your hands.

I want to review work assignments.

So I don't have to do it? Thank you!

Are you playing favorites, rich kid?

Rich kid?

No, I'm not.

I'm improving work efficiency
by reviewing department resources

to avoid imbalances
and divide workloads fairly,

creating a better work environment!

She left already.

Darn! I wanted to ask her to lunch.

She's been distant lately.

She always says she's busy with stuff.

Has she not told you anything?

Okay, we're recording.

DEATH GROWL CHANNEL

DAMN. I COME TO LISTEN DAILY.

CALLING HER A GOD
IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

I've been healthy since childhood!

Talent surges through my body!

RETSUKO IS BACK!

I'M ADDICTED!

Monetize it! Monetize it!

Build my kingdom!

Please come again!

Welcome!

Please come again!

You're doing much better, Ton.

Thanks! Manaka taught me well.

I'm so proud!

Restock the drinks and then take a break.

Thanks!

Welcome!

Director Ton! Wait!

-Director Ton!
-Go away!

Hear me out!

I said go away!

I had no idea you'd quit.

Good. Forget you ever knew!

I can't do that!

Stop pretending to care.

You're the one who ratted me out, right?

Why did you come here?

To make fun of me? Is that it?

That's not it!

Just hear me out, will you?

Trying to make yourself feel good by
helping a boss who lost everything?

Daddy, please listen to Retsy.

Why are you here?

I came to recruit you.

What is this?

A coworking space.

It's Retsy's new single, Shut Up Kingdom!
Isn't she adorable?

It's totally going viral!

Our Death Growl channel is currently
generating ad revenue

and with plans for production
and sales of original merchandise,

we're going to need an experienced
accountant like yourself.

We're helping too, Daddy!

Please join us!

I'm glad this won't go to waste.

Congratulations on 30 years.

ACCOUNTING

Yup, looks okay.

Good work.

Thank you.

Hey!

I'm almost done. Want to grab a bite?

At that place we never made it to?

Sorry.

I can't today.

I have plans.

Plans?

I'm supposed to meet Manaka later.

What are you two up to lately?

Oh, karaoke and stuff.

I see. Karaoke. Sounds fun.

Interesting. You actually have a lot
of viewers over 40.

You could get more with some tweaks.

Let's review your strategy.

Thanks for helping, Coach!

Coach, can you check my channel too?

It's all but dead.

Can you two stop calling me "Coach"?

KITCHENETTE

What's she up to?

LIKE

Sorry for the trouble.

No trouble. It was on the way.

Wow.

What?

So this is where you live.

You think it's a dump?

What? Not at all!

You're mocking me!

I'm not mocking you!

Yup, looks okay.

Thank you.

Haida, sorry about yesterday.

Oh, no worries.

Was karaoke fun?

Yeah, it was.

Good.

Replacing it all at once will work
better than small updates.

The up-front cost will be higher,
but in the long run--

President?

That's enough for today.

We haven't finished our usual routine.

I said that's enough.

Did something happen?

Actually, I have a problem…

that only you can take care of.

TON

The number pad won't work! Is it a virus?

Caps lock is broke! Is it a virus?

My daughters are on the wallpaper!
Is it a virus?

Get ahold of yourself!

Trouble click here and--

Double click!

Was that sigh workplace harassment?

That wasn't my inten--

The issue is how it felt to me!

Your criticism of my work
has scarred me deeply!

-Apologize.
-My bad.

You're disturbing the others.

The air is dry in here.

What?

Go to the office and bring back
my humidifier?

Which one of us is actually the boss here?

What?

Is Haida still working?
