02x06 - Reclaim Your Bygone Youth!/Oddly Incompatible

[bunniefuu]

My hope lies in a certain phrase.

Just one phrase from a certain person.

I have survived countless bitter
defeats just to hear that phrase.

- Soba

- Welcome.

- Would you mind sharing a table?
We're busy right now.

- Fine.

Here's your seat.

Akutagawa?!

Episode 14

One zaru soba, please.

You're ignoring me?! That's your play?!

Make mine bigger than his!

You're making this a contest?!

Thank you for waiting.

I hwin, hweriger.

You're so annoying.

Excuse me, could I get some more?

More than him, please!

I'd also like more,
with tempura this time!

What? Add tempura to mine, too!

Thank you.

Th-Thanks for the meal.

You're always such a pain in the butt.

Let's settle this once and for all.

I challenge you, Akutagawa!

N-Not right now.

I've sworn not to k*ll anyone.

No, at rock-paper-scissors.

Each sign has a word. You advance the
number of syllables in your sign's word.

Why explain it?
Just say it's Gl*co rules.

For legal reasons, we can't.

One, two, three, sh**t!

Cho-co-late.

One, two, three, sh**t!

Akutagawa won.

But he won't get far with rock.

Gl*-co!

Hey, wait! That's cheating!

What's wrong with using all
one's might to win a contest?

You should roar and whip
your tail as well.

I know you're making fun of me.

You won't beat me. Let's go again.

One, two, three, sh**t!

All right! I won with paper!

Leg Strength
Enhancement

Pine-ap-ple.

How's that? I got pretty far.

So, where is the finish line?

We hadn't decided.

Next contest!

Let's see whose paper
plane flies farther!

Who can dissolve hard candy faster?!

Who can kick their shoes...

I don't have shoes! No fair, Akutagawa!

What?!

You lost your own shoes!
You're not making any sense!

I can't compete without them!

- I'd like to play that hard someday.

- It's your fault for using your ability!

- You used yours, too!

- Pass.

- Next contest!

- Bring it on!

That was a nice shopping trip.

I'm glad I managed to sneak out without
getting caught by Kunikida-kun.

Maybe I'll buy some snacks for
the office on the way back.

Hey.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's enough!

What? I think I hear a strange voice.

I can't see anything, though. Tee-hee.

You're so infuriating.

Wait, no.

I'm in a good mood today because work
went well, so I'll let you off the hook.

Get. Outta. Here.

He's so infuriating.

Oh, yeah? Well...

I'm in a good mood because I got
a winning ice pop last week,

so I'll let you off the hook.

How long do your good moods last?

As far as I'm concerned, you're
worth less than a winning ice pop.

You don't have to explain it!

I've had enough of you
pestering me all the time.

You wanna go? Huh?

You're so uncivilized.

Oh, I know.

I just bought this game.

We'll settle this by
playing it over there.

Don't rope me into playing with you!

But it's a brand new game. Come on.

You're serious?

Fine, I'll play. But no matter what
happens, you'd better not run.

Right back at you.

Here's yours, Chuuya.

It's hard to play party
games as an adult.

Are you sure you're an adult?

Surprisingly, yes.

Let's begin.

A racing game, huh?

Whoa, a sharp turn!

My bad.

But no running no matter what, right?

Whoops, I slipped!

Something crashed into me!

A surprise meteor!

A giant kaiju!

A giant robot firing laser
beams from its eyes!

A giant spaceship launching missiles!

I don't want to grow up to be like that.

Agreed.

A giant water flea!

Episode 15

What a bummer.
It suddenly started raining,

and Akutagawa was already
in the only available shelter.

Talk about bad luck.

I can hear the sarcasm
in your explanation.

I was here first. You leave,
and get soaked while you're at it.

I knew you'd say that,
Akuta-callous Rude-nosuke!

Do not turn my name into
a joke, tiger rug!

I know. Why don't you use your
ability to make an umbrella?

A foolish plan.

Rashoumon merely allows
me to transform my coat.

The moment it ended,
it would revert to a wet coat.

Couldn't you dry it by swinging
Rashoumon around about 50 times?

I will not use my ability
in that way. I'll cut you!

Perhaps I could stay dry if I used
a tiger skin like a raincoat.

Conveniently, there happens
to be one right here.

The quality seems poor, though.

Who are you calling poor quality?

And that wouldn't be a tiger skin!

I have human skin, okay?

It's not stopping.

What am I going to do?

I need to get back soon.

Everyone at the Detective Agency...

They'll...

Was he hiding something important?

They'll eat my share of
the leftover donuts!

If Atsushi-kun doesn't
want his, I'll take it!

Aren't you carefree?

Don't you need to be anywhere?

I'm late for a meal
with the Black Lizard.

Stood up by their boss?
Poor Black Lizard!

At least let them know.

They're calling me now.

Hello?

Akutagawa-san, the pork rib noodles
we ordered for you are ready!

They're getting mushy, so get here soon!

You already ordered?
Something that gets mushy, no less?

That's so sad. You'd better go!

I can't!

It would be even more awkward
if I showed up soaking wet!

I think you're fretting too much.

Oh, fine.

You can use this.

Even a beast like you carries
around shopping bags?

Oh, shut up!

If you cover Rashoumon with this to
make an umbrella, you won't get wet.

You know, like Rashoumon: Umbrella.

Do not invent new abilities for me.

Like this?

Nice. Now put this over it.

You could use that yourself
to get back to the office.

Do you think donating that
makes you better than me?

It's not a donation.

You needed help,
and people help each other.

I see.

Great. Let's go, Akutagawa.

What are you doing? Begone.

What? Wasn't this implied?

People help each other, right?

You can have that bag,
so take me by the Agency.

Then neither of us will get wet.

You want me to escort you
with my umbrella, weretiger?

Don't act genuinely confused!

Fine, give me back my bag.
I'll use it myself.

But then I would get wet!

You're unbelievable!

It stopped raining.

Wan! Shorts.

A cat?

I thought you were a new ability of his,

but it seems you're actually just a cat.

No, you don't look like the weretiger!

I don't think you look like him at all!

If that striped rug sees
me petting this cat...

Oh, hey, Akutagawa.

What are you doing?

Stay away!

Hey, you're holding a cat.

Don't look at me!

Hey, doesn't it look like me?

Don't say it!

You should show Kyouka-chan.
She'd love it.

It's not my cat!

- The cat was only briefly
bewildered by the dangerous man

- I bet Dazai-san would, too.

- What? Dazai-san?

- before being impressed
by his mental fortitude

- I know. You can come to
the agency right now.

- for showing no signs of backing down.

- Come on. Let's go, Akutagawa.

Dazai-san...

Nakajima Atsushi

Akutagawa Ryunosuke

Can we help you?

I feel like I'll forget if I
don't check from time to time.

Rashoumon!

No, wait! I didn't see anything!
