07x20 - Love Is a Roach Motel
Posted: 09/23/22 08:48
Sign: Masked Roachief Black RX's request: Watch this program in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV, please!
Hij: Humans are no different from moths, really.
Hij: Be it festivals or fireworks displays,
Hij: the moment they see light, they flock to it.
Hij: We may have developed the technology to traverse the universe,
Hij: but it has about as much meaning as a crawling bug growing wings.
Oki: But thanks to that, we can just hold up butterfly nets to catch our prey,
Oki: so I'd say it ain't all bad.
Oki: One of them being a violent stag beetle with a
Oki: big ol' buzz saw growing on his head.
G: Hey, careful!
G: Watch where you're going, man! I'm gonna k*ll you!
Ko: You're the ones who need to be careful.
Oki: Speak of the devil.
Ko: Did you think it was okay for you youngsters to be out frolicking late at night?
Ko: Quit your flirting and break up right this instant,
Ko: or I'll throw you in the slammer!
Oki: Oops. That's no stag beetle.
Oki: It's a cockroach.
Title: Love Is a Roach Motel
Hij: Hey, what the heck is he playing at?
Oki: Apparently he got turned down.
Ko: I'm dead sure this will look great on you!
Ko: Not to worry.
Ko: I hear yukata are made to suit washboards as well.
Ko: Let's go to the festival together!
Tae: Sorry, but I have a festival of blood to get to.
Ko: Quit flirting and go home!
Hij: So he's gone from a yukata date to wishing yukata dead, huh?
Hij: We can't let the shinsengumi's reputation get any worse than it already is.
Hij: Go stop him.
Oki: Kondo-san, Kondo-san.
Oki: Hunting down cutesy couples is all well and good,
Oki: but the way you're going about it, you'll scare off innocent folk, too.
Oki: Why don't you do tonight's rounds in a festival version?
Ko: Are there any bad couples flirting in yukatas here?!
Oki: This way, he won't ruin the festival ambiance,
Oki: and nobody'll know he's shinsengumi.
Hij: Don't resort to cutting him off from us.
Hij: What kind of festival is this?
Oki: Well, see you later.
Oki: I'm going to investigate whether the octopus balls actually have octopus meat in them.
Hij: Hey, wait!
Hij: I-I'll investigate whether the okonomiyaki stand has run out of mayonnaise!
Hij: I don't care anymore!
Ko: What the hell am I doing?
Ko: I'm trying to destroy the happiness of others just because I couldn't attain my own.
Ko: This mask fits me perfectly. I'm no better than a cockroach.
Ko: I'm so rotten to the core, I may as well be the chief of cockroaches.
Ko: No wonder Otae-san turned me down!
Ko: A guy like me belongs
Ko: in the shadows of the kitchen, caught in a sticky trap.
Ko: I should go home, to where roaches deserve to be.
Kag: Hey, look at that!
Kag: It's Masked Roachief Black RX!
Kag: So the dirty hero who protects Earth from the kitchen's shadows really exists!
Tae: Kagura-chan, that's just a mask.
Ko: O-Otae-san!
Kag: Aw, how lame.
Kag: Oh, it's a yakisoba stand!
Tae: I-I'm so sorry. That was rude of her.
Ko: D-Don't be! It didn't bother me at all.
Ko: She doesn't realize that it's me?
Tae: Huh? Where did she go?
Tae: Kagura-chan!
Tae: This is a problem.
Tae: She doesn't have any money on her.
Ko: U-Uh, if you'd like, I could look for her with you.
Tae: Thank you. This is a huge help.
Tae: Are you sure you don't mind?
Ko: W-We need to help one another out when we're in trouble.
Ko: It's a miracle!
Ko: Nothing I've done has ever worked,
Ko: but the moment I became a roach, I got blessed with such good fortune!
Tae: But aren't you here to enjoy the festival? You're sure it's all right?
Ko: Oh, I was actually pretty bored by myself.
Ko: Besides, I can't leave a girl here all alone.
Tae: That's true. I hope Kagura-chan is all right.
Ko: No, not just her. I meant you, too.
Ko: There's no way I could ignore such a beautiful damsel in distress.
Tae: M-Me?
Tae: Thank you.
Tae: You really are like some kind of hero.
Ko: What the hell? Things are looking great!
Ko: Why am I faring so much better as a roach than as Kondo Isao?
Ko: N-No. I don't care.
Ko: If it means I can go on a date with Otae-san, I'll gladly become a roach or whatever!
Gin: You there! How about a game?
Gin: Huh?
Gin: Oh, it's you, Otae.
Tae: Gin-san?
Ko: Ack! Why is he here?!
Tae: What are you doing here?
Gin: Well, I figured I could use this festival to make some money.
Gin: What about you? On a date with a roach?
Ko: T-Talk about rude!
Ko: I'm not a roach!
Ko: I'm Masked Roachief!
Gin: Roachief? So you are a roach, then.
Kon: No! I'm the chief of roaches!
Gin: So a roach, then.
Tae: You're being rude, Gin-san.
Tae: Kagura-chan got lost, so he's looking for her with me.
Tae: He's a kind roach.
Gin: So in the end, he is a roach.
Gin: If you're looking for Kagura,
Gin: she stole Shinpachi's wallet and was just getting chased around.
Gin: She'll get caught soon enough.
Tae: That's a relief.
Tae: That means I can meet up with her if I wait here.
Tae: Masked Roachief, thanks for your help—
Ko: Oh, no!
Ko: There's a Roach Motel here!
Tae: Masked Roachief?!
Ko: Damn it all! Now I can't take a single step away from this stand!
Ko: What am I to do?!
Ko: Are you telling me I have no choice but to play here?
Ko: Curse you, stand owner!
Gin: Actually, you're hindering my business, so could you leave?
Ko: I-I know!
Ko: If I have to play anyway, would you like to join me, Otae-san?
Ko: It'll be on me.
Tae: But I should be the one showing you my gratitude...
Ko: I-In that case, could you show it by hanging out with me a bit longer?
Tae: I'd love to, of course.
Ko: All right!
Tae: But the money...
Gin: He's a man, Otae. Don't embarrass him.
Gin: At times like these, you gotta let the guy carry the burden.
Prices,Sign: Solo yen Couple yen Cockroach , yen
Gin: Don't worry. I'll give you a couples' discount.
Ko: Aren't you putting too much of a burden on roaches?!
Ko: That cancels out the couples' discount!
Gin: Well, what do you expect?
Gin: They say for every cockroach you see, there are thirty others.
Ko: They mean inside a house!
Ko: Are you charging for thirty?!
Gin: If you don't like it, go elsewhere.
Sign ,Sign: Goldfish Scooping sh**ting Gallery Mold Carving
Sign,Sign: We've got everything!
Gin: Otae will stay here and wait for Kagura, though.
Ko: Damn you.
Ko: Trying to sweep the muck from beneath my feet, eh?
Gin: But in return, we've got everything, from goldfish scooping to a sh**ting gallery.
Gin: This is a miniature amusement park where you can
Gin: experience all the classic summer festival attractions, so it's worth the cost.
Ko: Very well.
Ko: I have to do this to enjoy a festival date with Otae-san.
Ko: Th-Then, Otae-san, why don't we try the sh**ting gallery?
Tae: Sounds good! That sure brings back memories!
Ko: I'm gonna do it!
Ko: On this date, I'm gonna capture Otae-san's heart in the Roach Motel!
Motel,Sign: Berth Motel
Gin: Come this way, please.
Ko: Otae-san, is there a prize you've got your eye on?
Ko: I'll sh**t it down for you.
Tae: Really?
Tae: Which should I choose?
Ko: Ah, it feels like my heart's being cleansed anew.
Ko: So this is what a festival date is like.
Tae: I'd like that handkerchief, then.
Gin: You've got a keen eye, miss.
Gin: That's from the famous Bitch brand.
Gin: All right, boyfriend. Take close aim.
Gin: The trick is catching the center of the target in your crosshairs.
Gin: And...
Gin: Making sure the b*llet gets there.
Kon: Like hell it will!
Kon: Quit treating a festival-goer like some kind of top-class sn*per!
Gin: It's a special service for couples,
Gin: where we match the f*ring range to the distance between boy and girl.
Kon: It's too far!
Kon: You're so close to me, and yet I can't see you at all!
Gin: For a cockroach, you sure are quick to give up.
Kon: Why don't you sh**t that handkerchief, then?
Gin: The handkerchief?
Gin: Who told you to aim at that?
: What?
Gin: sh**ting that won't get you any prizes.
Gin: First, land a headshot on that stand owner, and while he's knocked out...
Kon: You were offering up some other stand's prize?!
Kon: You can't call this a sh**ting gallery!
Kon: It's nothing but robbery!
Gin: Don't go picking up a g*n if you're not prepared to hurt somebody.
Kon: I'd gladly land a headshot on you, though!
Gin: All right, all right.
Gin: We've even got a sh**ting gallery for babies like you.
Gin: That'll be , yen.
Kon: Are you gonna charge for every little thing?
Kon: It'd be quicker to just buy the handkerchief.
Tae: Wow!
Tae: That's a Bitch bag!
Tae: How'd you get that, Gin-san?
Gin: It's our top prize.
Gin: Can you guys sh**t it?
Kon: Before that, isn't the gallery super weird?!
Kon: Who the hell is that old man?!
Kon: H-Hey, Gramps. You're in the way.
Kon: Could you move for a sec?
Kon: I'm gonna sh**t, okay? Here I go!
Kon: It hit!
Kon: Only a fruit, though.
Kon: Uh, the old man is totally staring at me.
Kon: He's totally glaring at me!
Kon: He threw the prize at me!
Kon: What the hell?!
Kon: What kind of sh**ting gallery is this?!
Kon: Damn. I can't hit the bag at all.
Kon: Hey! The old man is crying now!
Kon: He doesn't wanna let go of the prize! It seems to be a portrait of someone!
Kon: Is that it? Is that what it's all about?
Kon: Is that his deceased wife's altar?
Kon: I can't sh**t now!
Kon: He's staring at me with his tear-filled eyes!
Kon: Damn!
Kon: Now his grandchildren showed up!
Kon: They just blocked the sh*t themselves! Is that allowed?
Kon: Is that really allowed?!
Kon: They look like they're saying, "What more do you want to take from us?"
Kon: Wasn't this supposed to be a sh**ting gallery?!
Kon: This is totally like one of those
Kon: "if you can't pay up, cough up yer valuables" scenes!
Kon: Wait, why are you showing up in this story?!
Kon: "Oh? Looks like you've got somethin' nice over here."
Kon: "I'll let you off the hook with this for today," right?
Kon: As if! Don't just walk off with the prize!
Kon: Hold it!
Kon: Freeze!
Kon: Got him!
Kon: Here comes the last sh*t—
G: Happy th Anniversary.
G: Sorry I'm so late.
G: Here's the Bitch bag you always wanted.
G: My incompetence meant that I couldn't give it to you while you were still alive,
G: but please doll up in the afterlife and wait for me.
Ko: Sh-sh*t!
Ko: sh*t!
Tae: I'm sorry, Roachief.
Tae: I wasted
Tae: the last sh*t.
Tae: But this was for the best, wasn't it?
Tae: What's wrong with this sh**ting gallery?!
Tae: In the end, I paid , yen just to see a shitty skit!
Tae: Um, don't worry about it.
Tae: I'll buy the bag myself.
Tae: Shall we move on to the next one?
Kon: Damn it all!
Kon: So this is their style of festival?
Kon: But I won't give up!
Kon: I'll show 'em how tenacious a cockroach can be!
Shin: The cost is , yen for cockroaches, but we'll give you a yen discount.
Ko: Th-Thanks.
Ko: Discount? Isn't this yen shaved ice you bought from the next stand over?
Ko: Anyway, Kagura-chan, you had me so worried.
Ko: I was wondering where you ran off to.
Kag: I would've ended up being the third wheel, so it was the right decision.
Kag: Where did you find this handsome cockroach?
Tae: Jeez! I'm telling you, it's not like that.
Tae: Right, Roachief?
Ko: U-Um, Otae-san...
Ko: Now that we've verified that your friend is safe,
Ko: how about we try some other stands?
Tae: But they said we could try all sorts of games here.
Tae: And at a festival, the more the merrier, right?
Ko: Y-You're right.
Ko: I guess it's best to enjoy it with everyone.
Ko: This certainly is like a dream come true.
Ko: I can't believe Otae-san and I are on a festival date.
Ko: However, I can only have that smile directed at me
Ko: while I have this mask on.
Prices ,Sign: Solo yen Couple yen Cockroach , yen
Ko: And the way this is going, I won't have nearly enough money.
Ko: I must show off my cool side in some quick game
Ko: and capture her heart.
Gin: We're good to go, sir.
Gin: You've tried the sh**ting gallery, so how about some mold carving next?
Gin: No festival is complete without this game, right?
Kon: Looks like it's a proper game this time.
Tae: Mold carving? What's that?
Kon: Oh, you've never played it?
Kon: Mold carving is a game where you use a needle to carve out
Kon: various shapes drawn on candies without breaking them.
Tae: Wow, that sounds like fun. I'm not sure I'll be able to do it, though.
Ko: I'll help you if you get stuck.
Gin: All right. For one turn,
Gin: consisting of three molds, it'll be , yen.
Ko: Not , yen per turn?!
Gin: It's , yen per mold.
Gin: In return, we've got some extravagant prizes,
Gin: and we'll even let you choose the pattern.
Carving,Sign: Mold Carving List k k k
Gin: What would you like, miss?
Gin: I recommend number two here. It's for , yen.
Tae: , yen?!
Tae: We can win , yen just by carving this snake out?
Gin: I said we had extravagant prizes, didn't I?
Tae: Let's go with this one, Roachief.
Gin: All right, here's number two:
Gin: Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar.
Kon: It was Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar!
Kon: That's way too drastic a difference!
Kon: Where did all this detail come from?!
Kon: Is there a problem? It was always Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar.
Ko: No, it was clearly an ordinary snake!
Gin: Oh, Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar
Gin: did originally have the appearance of a white snake.
Gin: Maybe it transformed between cuts.
Ko: I couldn't care less about
Ko: the backstory of Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar!
Ko: Carving this out is impossible!
Ko: How am I supposed to do the lightning?!
Carving,Sign: Mold Carving List k k k
Gin: Want to lower the difficulty level for the second mold, then?
Gin: Wanna try the , one?
Ko: Yeah, let's go with that.
Ko: Even if it turns out to be realistic-looking soft serve,
Ko: it should still be simple enough.
Gin: All right, here's your Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar cream.
Ko: It was Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar cream!
Ko: Knock it off!
Ko: It's all Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar!
Ko: And what the hell is a Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar cream?!
Ko: All I did was put it down, and it broke!
Gin: How about this, then? It's for , yen.
Ko: Who is that?!
Ko: I don't have a clue, but it looks easy, so let's go with that!
Gin: All right, here's your D White Dragon.
Ko: It was a D White Dragon!
Ko: No way!
Ko: No way in hell I can carve out such a manly White Dragon!
Tae: Maybe you only think it'd be difficult because you're fixated on the "carving out" part.
Tae: If you think along the lines of getting rid of
Tae: the unnecessary parts...
Ko: How?!
Ko: How did you make the White Dragon with just that?
Ko: What are you, a Futae-no-Kiwami master?!
Tae: But the White Dragon's horn is still there...
Kon: No, he doesn't have a horn!
Kon: How did it end up in this shape?!
Tae: You can apply the finishing touches, Roachief.
Tae: Please get rid of that unnecessary horn.
Ko: It's unnecessary? Is it not supposed to be there?
Ko: Crap, this is a huge responsibility.
Ko: If I mess up here...
Ko: No! Consider this a golden opportunity!
Ko: I have to show off my cool side here!
Kag: Yay, Bro!
Kag: So many broken mold pieces!
Shin: Let's dig in while we still have the chance.
Gin: Hey!
Gin: What are you doing, you brats?!
Gin: Only people who play the game get to eat the candy!
Gin: I've got no pieces to waste on the likes of you!
Ko: Th-Those are the kids from the sh**ting gallery!
Gin: Sorry about that.
Gin: Those brats have started coming to leech off the stand lately.
Gin: Apparently their parents ran away,
Gin: leaving them without a home or food.
Gin: I'm sure you think those pieces are no big deal,
Gin: but if you keep showing pity to strays, there'll be no end to it.
Kag: Look, Bro. That's a big White Dragon.
Kag: Think they'll throw that horn away?
Shin: Forget about it. Come here.
Shin: I told you to come here!
Tae: Oops. My hand slipped.
Tae: There are broken candy pieces everywhere.
Tae: Let me get rid of them.
Tae: That was okay, right?
Ko: This again?!
Ko: Yet again, they got in the way just when I was about to win!
Ko: They're the real roaches here!
Tae: Sorry. We were so close.
Ko: O-Oh, it's nothing.
Ko: Damn them! How dare they take advantage of Otae-san's kind heart?!
Ko: In that case...
Sign ,Sign: Goldfish Scooping sh**ting Gallery Mold Carving
Ko: Hey, could we try goldfish scooping next?
Ko: Goldfish scooping should be fine because the shop won't lose much money
Ko: even if we scoop out three or four.
Ko: Surely there won't be any need for them to interfere.
Tae: Wow! There are so many cute goldfish!
Ko: How about it, Otae-san?
Ko: Let's have a goldfish scooping battle.
Ko: The one who scoops the most fish gets to keep them all.
Tae: Are you sure?
Tae: I'll have you know, I'm pretty good at goldfish scooping.
Ko: Please.
Ko: I won't be outdone, either.
Ko: If I win, I can show off my manly side.
Ko: And if I lose, I'm making her look good.
Ko: No matter how it turns out, I win!
Ko: I won't hold back, okay?
Tae: Wait a minute.
Tae: I'm starting to feel nervous.
Tae: Do you mind if I practice a little?
Ko: No way. That's no fair, Otae-san.
Tae: Just a little bit, okay?
Tae: Pretty please.
Ko: Sheesh. Just a little, okay?
Ko: Yeah, a festival date is the best—
Tae: Huh? Only fifty-three?
Tae: Looks like I'm a bit rusty.
Tae: Okay, then. Let's do this for real.
Gin: Wow, you're pretty good, miss.
Tae: You think so?
Tae: I could get up to eighty in one go before.
Gin: You should focus on your prey more.
Gin: The trick is to predict how the goldfish will move.
Gin: And...
Gin: Reaching the goldfish, I guess.
Ko: This is the same as the sh**ting gallery!
Ko: The goldfish are too far away!
Ko: You went too far, Otae-san!
Ko: You made these roaches spring into action!
Tae: Excuse me. I can't reach the goldfish this way.
Tae: This is a special service for couples,
Tae: where we match the depth of the pool to the depth of the girl's greed.
Ko: You've turned the goldfish into deep-sea fish!
Gin: To shorten the distance between you and your girlfriend,
Gin: there are times when you need resolve strong enough to jump off a cliff.
Ko: That will only shorten my lifespan!
Gin: Who said you should jump to your death?
Gin: I'm telling you to snare some fish by bungee jumping.
Gin: Here's your safety line.
Ko: Wait!
Ko: Forget the fish, my neck's been ensnared instead!
Gin: Just go already!
Ko: Like hell I could—
Tae: I'll be going ahead, then.
Ko: What are you doing, Otae-san?!
Ko: Just how much are you staking your life on goldfish scooping?!
Gin: Huh? Did she forget to tie her safety line?
Ko: Otae-san!
Ko: C-Can't breathe!
Tae: Roachief?
Ko: I-I'm here to save you, Otae-san.
Tae: Don't get in my way!
Tae: It's against the rules!
Ko: This isn't the time for that!
Ko: You and I are both going to die!
Shin: Watch out!
Kag: Somebody help...
Ko: That's right. Somebody call for help.
Bo: ...our Gramps!
Ko: Why you?!
Ko: My neck's gonna break!
Tae: What are you doing, Gramps?
G: Grandma, I'm coming to see you right now...
Tae: Gramps, don't tell me...
Ko: Nobody cares about that stupid skit!
Ko: I'm in danger of going to see her first!
Gin: You guys must now make a fateful decision.
Gin: Will you scoop up goldfish, or will you scoop up Gramps' life?
Gin: Pick whichever you like.
Ko: What kind of goldfish scooping is this?!
Gin: If you want to scoop the goldfish, all you have to do is let go.
Ko: Hey! Just how badly do they not want to lose their goldfish?!
Tae: I can't let him go!
Tae: But at this rate, even Roachief will...
Ko: I had a feeling you'd say that.
Ko: That's right.
Ko: The date may have ended up as a mess,
Ko: but that's what makes Otae-san who she is.
Ko: Then...
Ko: I'll protect both you and your beliefs until the very end!
Ko: After all,
Ko: I'm Masked Roachief Black RX!
Ko: Now! Climb up here, you two!
Tae: Uh, I'm sorry,
Tae: but we already reached the ground.
Tae: The rope stretched all the way down.
Tae: I guess we had another option to choose from.
Tae: Scooping goldfish using Gramps.
Tae: My, my, Roachief.
Tae: I don't plan on scooping goldfish with a cockroach, you know.
Tae: Of course...
Tae: Not with a gorilla, either.
Kag: Maybe he'll learn from this and quit stalking.
Kag: I can't believe he tried to deceive the boss lady
Kag: by wearing a mask to get close to her. What a jerk.
Tae: I don't know about that.
Tae: This mask may have hidden his face,
Tae: but in exchange, it may have made other things easier to see.
Kag: Like how this pervert wasn't a gorilla, but a cockroach?
Tae: No, that's not it.
Tae: Like how spending the festival with everyone was fun.

Ko: Not to worry.
Ko: I hear yukata are made to suit washboards as well.
Ko: Let's go to the festival together!
Tae: Sorry, but I have a festival of blood to get to.
Ko: Quit flirting and go home!
Hij: So he's gone from a yukata date to wishing yukata dead, huh?
Hij: We can't let the shinsengumi's reputation get any worse than it already is.
Hij: Go stop him.
Oki: Kondo-san, Kondo-san.
Oki: Hunting down cutesy couples is all well and good,
Oki: but the way you're going about it, you'll scare off innocent folk, too.
Oki: Why don't you do tonight's rounds in a festival version?
Ko: Are there any bad couples flirting in yukatas here?!
Oki: This way, he won't ruin the festival ambiance,
Oki: and nobody'll know he's shinsengumi.
Hij: Don't resort to cutting him off from us.
Hij: What kind of festival is this?
Oki: Well, see you later.
Oki: I'm going to investigate whether the octopus balls actually have octopus meat in them.
Hij: Hey, wait!
Hij: I-I'll investigate whether the okonomiyaki stand has run out of mayonnaise!
Hij: I don't care anymore!
Ko: What the hell am I doing?
Ko: I'm trying to destroy the happiness of others just because I couldn't attain my own.
Ko: This mask fits me perfectly. I'm no better than a cockroach.
Ko: I'm so rotten to the core, I may as well be the chief of cockroaches.
Ko: No wonder Otae-san turned me down!
Ko: A guy like me belongs
Ko: in the shadows of the kitchen, caught in a sticky trap.
Ko: I should go home, to where roaches deserve to be.
Kag: Hey, look at that!
Kag: It's Masked Roachief Black RX!
Kag: So the dirty hero who protects Earth from the kitchen's shadows really exists!
Tae: Kagura-chan, that's just a mask.
Ko: O-Otae-san!
Kag: Aw, how lame.
Kag: Oh, it's a yakisoba stand!
Tae: I-I'm so sorry. That was rude of her.
Ko: D-Don't be! It didn't bother me at all.
Ko: She doesn't realize that it's me?
Tae: Huh? Where did she go?
Tae: Kagura-chan!
Tae: This is a problem.
Tae: She doesn't have any money on her.
Ko: U-Uh, if you'd like, I could look for her with you.
Tae: Thank you. This is a huge help.
Tae: Are you sure you don't mind?
Ko: W-We need to help one another out when we're in trouble.
Ko: It's a miracle!
Ko: Nothing I've done has ever worked,
Ko: but the moment I became a roach, I got blessed with such good fortune!
Tae: But aren't you here to enjoy the festival? You're sure it's all right?
Ko: Oh, I was actually pretty bored by myself.
Ko: Besides, I can't leave a girl here all alone.
Tae: That's true. I hope Kagura-chan is all right.
Ko: No, not just her. I meant you, too.
Ko: There's no way I could ignore such a beautiful damsel in distress.
Tae: M-Me?
Tae: Thank you.
Tae: You really are like some kind of hero.
Ko: What the hell? Things are looking great!
Ko: Why am I faring so much better as a roach than as Kondo Isao?
Ko: N-No. I don't care.
Ko: If it means I can go on a date with Otae-san, I'll gladly become a roach or whatever!
Gin: You there! How about a game?
Gin: Huh?
Gin: Oh, it's you, Otae.
Tae: Gin-san?
Ko: Ack! Why is he here?!
Tae: What are you doing here?
Gin: Well, I figured I could use this festival to make some money.
Gin: What about you? On a date with a roach?
Ko: T-Talk about rude!
Ko: I'm not a roach!
Ko: I'm Masked Roachief!
Gin: Roachief? So you are a roach, then.
Kon: No! I'm the chief of roaches!
Gin: So a roach, then.
Tae: You're being rude, Gin-san.
Tae: Kagura-chan got lost, so he's looking for her with me.
Tae: He's a kind roach.
Gin: So in the end, he is a roach.
Gin: If you're looking for Kagura,
Gin: she stole Shinpachi's wallet and was just getting chased around.
Gin: She'll get caught soon enough.
Tae: That's a relief.
Tae: That means I can meet up with her if I wait here.
Tae: Masked Roachief, thanks for your help—
Ko: Oh, no!
Ko: There's a Roach Motel here!
Tae: Masked Roachief?!
Ko: Damn it all! Now I can't take a single step away from this stand!
Ko: What am I to do?!
Ko: Are you telling me I have no choice but to play here?
Ko: Curse you, stand owner!
Gin: Actually, you're hindering my business, so could you leave?
Ko: I-I know!
Ko: If I have to play anyway, would you like to join me, Otae-san?
Ko: It'll be on me.
Tae: But I should be the one showing you my gratitude...
Ko: I-In that case, could you show it by hanging out with me a bit longer?
Tae: I'd love to, of course.
Ko: All right!
Tae: But the money...
Gin: He's a man, Otae. Don't embarrass him.
Gin: At times like these, you gotta let the guy carry the burden.
Prices,Sign: Solo yen Couple yen Cockroach , yen
Gin: Don't worry. I'll give you a couples' discount.
Ko: Aren't you putting too much of a burden on roaches?!
Ko: That cancels out the couples' discount!
Gin: Well, what do you expect?
Gin: They say for every cockroach you see, there are thirty others.
Ko: They mean inside a house!
Ko: Are you charging for thirty?!
Gin: If you don't like it, go elsewhere.
Sign ,Sign: Goldfish Scooping sh**ting Gallery Mold Carving
Sign,Sign: We've got everything!
Gin: Otae will stay here and wait for Kagura, though.
Ko: Damn you.
Ko: Trying to sweep the muck from beneath my feet, eh?
Gin: But in return, we've got everything, from goldfish scooping to a sh**ting gallery.
Gin: This is a miniature amusement park where you can
Gin: experience all the classic summer festival attractions, so it's worth the cost.
Ko: Very well.
Ko: I have to do this to enjoy a festival date with Otae-san.
Ko: Th-Then, Otae-san, why don't we try the sh**ting gallery?
Tae: Sounds good! That sure brings back memories!
Ko: I'm gonna do it!
Ko: On this date, I'm gonna capture Otae-san's heart in the Roach Motel!
Motel,Sign: Berth Motel
Gin: Come this way, please.
Ko: Otae-san, is there a prize you've got your eye on?
Ko: I'll sh**t it down for you.
Tae: Really?
Tae: Which should I choose?
Ko: Ah, it feels like my heart's being cleansed anew.
Ko: So this is what a festival date is like.
Tae: I'd like that handkerchief, then.
Gin: You've got a keen eye, miss.
Gin: That's from the famous Bitch brand.
Gin: All right, boyfriend. Take close aim.
Gin: The trick is catching the center of the target in your crosshairs.
Gin: And...
Gin: Making sure the b*llet gets there.
Kon: Like hell it will!
Kon: Quit treating a festival-goer like some kind of top-class sn*per!
Gin: It's a special service for couples,
Gin: where we match the f*ring range to the distance between boy and girl.
Kon: It's too far!
Kon: You're so close to me, and yet I can't see you at all!
Gin: For a cockroach, you sure are quick to give up.
Kon: Why don't you sh**t that handkerchief, then?
Gin: The handkerchief?
Gin: Who told you to aim at that?
: What?
Gin: sh**ting that won't get you any prizes.
Gin: First, land a headshot on that stand owner, and while he's knocked out...
Kon: You were offering up some other stand's prize?!
Kon: You can't call this a sh**ting gallery!
Kon: It's nothing but robbery!
Gin: Don't go picking up a g*n if you're not prepared to hurt somebody.
Kon: I'd gladly land a headshot on you, though!
Gin: All right, all right.
Gin: We've even got a sh**ting gallery for babies like you.
Gin: That'll be , yen.
Kon: Are you gonna charge for every little thing?
Kon: It'd be quicker to just buy the handkerchief.
Tae: Wow!
Tae: That's a Bitch bag!
Tae: How'd you get that, Gin-san?
Gin: It's our top prize.
Gin: Can you guys sh**t it?
Kon: Before that, isn't the gallery super weird?!
Kon: Who the hell is that old man?!
Kon: H-Hey, Gramps. You're in the way.
Kon: Could you move for a sec?
Kon: I'm gonna sh**t, okay? Here I go!
Kon: It hit!
Kon: Only a fruit, though.
Kon: Uh, the old man is totally staring at me.
Kon: He's totally glaring at me!
Kon: He threw the prize at me!
Kon: What the hell?!
Kon: What kind of sh**ting gallery is this?!
Kon: Damn. I can't hit the bag at all.
Kon: Hey! The old man is crying now!
Kon: He doesn't wanna let go of the prize! It seems to be a portrait of someone!
Kon: Is that it? Is that what it's all about?
Kon: Is that his deceased wife's altar?
Kon: I can't sh**t now!
Kon: He's staring at me with his tear-filled eyes!
Kon: Damn!
Kon: Now his grandchildren showed up!
Kon: They just blocked the sh*t themselves! Is that allowed?
Kon: Is that really allowed?!
Kon: They look like they're saying, "What more do you want to take from us?"
Kon: Wasn't this supposed to be a sh**ting gallery?!
Kon: This is totally like one of those
Kon: "if you can't pay up, cough up yer valuables" scenes!
Kon: Wait, why are you showing up in this story?!
Kon: "Oh? Looks like you've got somethin' nice over here."
Kon: "I'll let you off the hook with this for today," right?
Kon: As if! Don't just walk off with the prize!
Kon: Hold it!
Kon: Freeze!
Kon: Got him!
Kon: Here comes the last sh*t—
G: Happy th Anniversary.
G: Sorry I'm so late.
G: Here's the Bitch bag you always wanted.
G: My incompetence meant that I couldn't give it to you while you were still alive,
G: but please doll up in the afterlife and wait for me.
Ko: Sh-sh*t!
Ko: sh*t!
Tae: I'm sorry, Roachief.
Tae: I wasted
Tae: the last sh*t.
Tae: But this was for the best, wasn't it?
Tae: What's wrong with this sh**ting gallery?!
Tae: In the end, I paid , yen just to see a shitty skit!
Tae: Um, don't worry about it.
Tae: I'll buy the bag myself.
Tae: Shall we move on to the next one?
Kon: Damn it all!
Kon: So this is their style of festival?
Kon: But I won't give up!
Kon: I'll show 'em how tenacious a cockroach can be!
Shin: The cost is , yen for cockroaches, but we'll give you a yen discount.
Ko: Th-Thanks.
Ko: Discount? Isn't this yen shaved ice you bought from the next stand over?
Ko: Anyway, Kagura-chan, you had me so worried.
Ko: I was wondering where you ran off to.
Kag: I would've ended up being the third wheel, so it was the right decision.
Kag: Where did you find this handsome cockroach?
Tae: Jeez! I'm telling you, it's not like that.
Tae: Right, Roachief?
Ko: U-Um, Otae-san...
Ko: Now that we've verified that your friend is safe,
Ko: how about we try some other stands?
Tae: But they said we could try all sorts of games here.
Tae: And at a festival, the more the merrier, right?
Ko: Y-You're right.
Ko: I guess it's best to enjoy it with everyone.
Ko: This certainly is like a dream come true.
Ko: I can't believe Otae-san and I are on a festival date.
Ko: However, I can only have that smile directed at me
Ko: while I have this mask on.
Prices ,Sign: Solo yen Couple yen Cockroach , yen
Ko: And the way this is going, I won't have nearly enough money.
Ko: I must show off my cool side in some quick game
Ko: and capture her heart.
Gin: We're good to go, sir.
Gin: You've tried the sh**ting gallery, so how about some mold carving next?
Gin: No festival is complete without this game, right?
Kon: Looks like it's a proper game this time.
Tae: Mold carving? What's that?
Kon: Oh, you've never played it?
Kon: Mold carving is a game where you use a needle to carve out
Kon: various shapes drawn on candies without breaking them.
Tae: Wow, that sounds like fun. I'm not sure I'll be able to do it, though.
Ko: I'll help you if you get stuck.
Gin: All right. For one turn,
Gin: consisting of three molds, it'll be , yen.
Ko: Not , yen per turn?!
Gin: It's , yen per mold.
Gin: In return, we've got some extravagant prizes,
Gin: and we'll even let you choose the pattern.

Gin: What would you like, miss?
Gin: I recommend number two here. It's for , yen.
Tae: , yen?!
Tae: We can win , yen just by carving this snake out?
Gin: I said we had extravagant prizes, didn't I?
Tae: Let's go with this one, Roachief.
Gin: All right, here's number two:
Gin: Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar.
Kon: It was Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar!
Kon: That's way too drastic a difference!
Kon: Where did all this detail come from?!
Kon: Is there a problem? It was always Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar.
Ko: No, it was clearly an ordinary snake!
Gin: Oh, Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar
Gin: did originally have the appearance of a white snake.
Gin: Maybe it transformed between cuts.
Ko: I couldn't care less about
Ko: the backstory of Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar!
Ko: Carving this out is impossible!
Ko: How am I supposed to do the lightning?!
Carving,Sign: Mold Carving List k k k
Gin: Want to lower the difficulty level for the second mold, then?
Gin: Wanna try the , one?
Ko: Yeah, let's go with that.
Ko: Even if it turns out to be realistic-looking soft serve,
Ko: it should still be simple enough.
Gin: All right, here's your Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar cream.
Ko: It was Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar cream!
Ko: Knock it off!
Ko: It's all Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar!
Ko: And what the hell is a Goddess Benzaiten's White Dragon King avatar cream?!
Ko: All I did was put it down, and it broke!
Gin: How about this, then? It's for , yen.
Ko: Who is that?!
Ko: I don't have a clue, but it looks easy, so let's go with that!
Gin: All right, here's your D White Dragon.
Ko: It was a D White Dragon!
Ko: No way!
Ko: No way in hell I can carve out such a manly White Dragon!
Tae: Maybe you only think it'd be difficult because you're fixated on the "carving out" part.
Tae: If you think along the lines of getting rid of
Tae: the unnecessary parts...
Ko: How?!
Ko: How did you make the White Dragon with just that?
Ko: What are you, a Futae-no-Kiwami master?!
Tae: But the White Dragon's horn is still there...
Kon: No, he doesn't have a horn!
Kon: How did it end up in this shape?!
Tae: You can apply the finishing touches, Roachief.
Tae: Please get rid of that unnecessary horn.
Ko: It's unnecessary? Is it not supposed to be there?
Ko: Crap, this is a huge responsibility.
Ko: If I mess up here...
Ko: No! Consider this a golden opportunity!
Ko: I have to show off my cool side here!
Kag: Yay, Bro!
Kag: So many broken mold pieces!
Shin: Let's dig in while we still have the chance.
Gin: Hey!
Gin: What are you doing, you brats?!
Gin: Only people who play the game get to eat the candy!
Gin: I've got no pieces to waste on the likes of you!
Ko: Th-Those are the kids from the sh**ting gallery!
Gin: Sorry about that.
Gin: Those brats have started coming to leech off the stand lately.
Gin: Apparently their parents ran away,
Gin: leaving them without a home or food.
Gin: I'm sure you think those pieces are no big deal,
Gin: but if you keep showing pity to strays, there'll be no end to it.
Kag: Look, Bro. That's a big White Dragon.
Kag: Think they'll throw that horn away?
Shin: Forget about it. Come here.
Shin: I told you to come here!
Tae: Oops. My hand slipped.
Tae: There are broken candy pieces everywhere.
Tae: Let me get rid of them.
Tae: That was okay, right?
Ko: This again?!
Ko: Yet again, they got in the way just when I was about to win!
Ko: They're the real roaches here!
Tae: Sorry. We were so close.
Ko: O-Oh, it's nothing.
Ko: Damn them! How dare they take advantage of Otae-san's kind heart?!
Ko: In that case...
Sign ,Sign: Goldfish Scooping sh**ting Gallery Mold Carving
Ko: Hey, could we try goldfish scooping next?
Ko: Goldfish scooping should be fine because the shop won't lose much money
Ko: even if we scoop out three or four.
Ko: Surely there won't be any need for them to interfere.
Tae: Wow! There are so many cute goldfish!
Ko: How about it, Otae-san?
Ko: Let's have a goldfish scooping battle.
Ko: The one who scoops the most fish gets to keep them all.
Tae: Are you sure?
Tae: I'll have you know, I'm pretty good at goldfish scooping.
Ko: Please.
Ko: I won't be outdone, either.
Ko: If I win, I can show off my manly side.
Ko: And if I lose, I'm making her look good.
Ko: No matter how it turns out, I win!
Ko: I won't hold back, okay?
Tae: Wait a minute.
Tae: I'm starting to feel nervous.
Tae: Do you mind if I practice a little?
Ko: No way. That's no fair, Otae-san.
Tae: Just a little bit, okay?
Tae: Pretty please.
Ko: Sheesh. Just a little, okay?
Ko: Yeah, a festival date is the best—
Tae: Huh? Only fifty-three?
Tae: Looks like I'm a bit rusty.
Tae: Okay, then. Let's do this for real.
Gin: Wow, you're pretty good, miss.
Tae: You think so?
Tae: I could get up to eighty in one go before.
Gin: You should focus on your prey more.
Gin: The trick is to predict how the goldfish will move.
Gin: And...
Gin: Reaching the goldfish, I guess.
Ko: This is the same as the sh**ting gallery!
Ko: The goldfish are too far away!
Ko: You went too far, Otae-san!
Ko: You made these roaches spring into action!
Tae: Excuse me. I can't reach the goldfish this way.
Tae: This is a special service for couples,
Tae: where we match the depth of the pool to the depth of the girl's greed.
Ko: You've turned the goldfish into deep-sea fish!
Gin: To shorten the distance between you and your girlfriend,
Gin: there are times when you need resolve strong enough to jump off a cliff.
Ko: That will only shorten my lifespan!
Gin: Who said you should jump to your death?
Gin: I'm telling you to snare some fish by bungee jumping.
Gin: Here's your safety line.
Ko: Wait!
Ko: Forget the fish, my neck's been ensnared instead!
Gin: Just go already!
Ko: Like hell I could—
Tae: I'll be going ahead, then.
Ko: What are you doing, Otae-san?!
Ko: Just how much are you staking your life on goldfish scooping?!
Gin: Huh? Did she forget to tie her safety line?
Ko: Otae-san!
Ko: C-Can't breathe!
Tae: Roachief?
Ko: I-I'm here to save you, Otae-san.
Tae: Don't get in my way!
Tae: It's against the rules!
Ko: This isn't the time for that!
Ko: You and I are both going to die!
Shin: Watch out!
Kag: Somebody help...
Ko: That's right. Somebody call for help.
Bo: ...our Gramps!
Ko: Why you?!
Ko: My neck's gonna break!
Tae: What are you doing, Gramps?
G: Grandma, I'm coming to see you right now...
Tae: Gramps, don't tell me...
Ko: Nobody cares about that stupid skit!
Ko: I'm in danger of going to see her first!
Gin: You guys must now make a fateful decision.
Gin: Will you scoop up goldfish, or will you scoop up Gramps' life?
Gin: Pick whichever you like.
Ko: What kind of goldfish scooping is this?!
Gin: If you want to scoop the goldfish, all you have to do is let go.
Ko: Hey! Just how badly do they not want to lose their goldfish?!
Tae: I can't let him go!
Tae: But at this rate, even Roachief will...
Ko: I had a feeling you'd say that.
Ko: That's right.
Ko: The date may have ended up as a mess,
Ko: but that's what makes Otae-san who she is.
Ko: Then...
Ko: I'll protect both you and your beliefs until the very end!
Ko: After all,
Ko: I'm Masked Roachief Black RX!
Ko: Now! Climb up here, you two!
Tae: Uh, I'm sorry,
Tae: but we already reached the ground.
Tae: The rope stretched all the way down.
Tae: I guess we had another option to choose from.
Tae: Scooping goldfish using Gramps.
Tae: My, my, Roachief.
Tae: I don't plan on scooping goldfish with a cockroach, you know.
Tae: Of course...
Tae: Not with a gorilla, either.
Kag: Maybe he'll learn from this and quit stalking.
Kag: I can't believe he tried to deceive the boss lady
Kag: by wearing a mask to get close to her. What a jerk.
Tae: I don't know about that.
Tae: This mask may have hidden his face,
Tae: but in exchange, it may have made other things easier to see.
Kag: Like how this pervert wasn't a gorilla, but a cockroach?
Tae: No, that's not it.
Tae: Like how spending the festival with everyone was fun.
