Episode 4
Chaka Chaka Bang Bang
Yes, you are in need of our service?
Mornin'.
Please let me get the person in charge.
Rena, a request for asset disposition.
Hello...
how may I help you?
Rich people do exist.
This is strange.
FOR RENT
Rena. This is...
Run, both of you!
Ouch.
Give me my money back.
It's you.
You remember our deal, don't you?
Of course.
Can't give you the entire amount...
but if you're okay with what I have on me.
What you have on you?
Just for the time being. How about this?
Is this your idea of a joke?
Oh, you don't want it?
Hey, don't throw away money!
Aah, damn, what are you doing?
You'll receive divine punishment someday!
Now, let's get out of here before the police come.
Hey!! Untie me!
You! Hey! You want me to trash this office?
Aah! Untie me! Untie me!
Shizuka.
You idiot, don't do it!
Please refrain from making any more noise.
Hello, is this the New Town 7th District Police Department?
Um, the thing is, we have a suspicious person in our...
If you do that, we'll have to pay for the repairs to that house.
But that will be her responsibility, won't it?
No. It'll be our responsibility.
Ouch.
Well, that's how it is, rookie. Etch it into your memory.
I'm Gloria, the true leader of this place.
How's it going?
We have a criminal as a member of this office?
Who are you calling a criminal, eh?
You misled her by the way you did that.
I had to do that to make her pay me my money back.
You said you'd pay me back. Give it to me, right now!
It can't be this little!
Used up as expenses.
What, you serious?
No, no, no, show me the expense reports then!
Expense Report
You're trying to cheat me! You can't keep fooling me forever!
Oh, sorry. My mistake.
I knew it, I knew it.
These too.
Do you still have something to say?
I'll stay here until I get the entire amount back!
I'm warning you right now!
Do as you like.
Yeah, I will.
I'll stay here as long as it takes for you to pay me my money! Ah? Ah?
Good morning, Grandpa.

Where's Gloria?
Well, she was here until a minute ago.
If you don't see her now, she must have gone out or something.
She has? I'll see you two later then!
Have a nice day.
Hey!
You look like an airhead. I'll take care of you.
I'm the leader of this place, and am offering to train you in person.
You going to complain?
No! Not at all.
Let's go, then.
- What's the firstjob? - Ah! Ah...!
I don't know if it's a good idea.
Don't worry.
She has to get used to people like that too.
I wonder if she can.
I'm an agent from Nakamura Real Estate...
You are already nine months behind in your rent...
and unless the situation is rectified...
Hello!
Could you maybe pay in installments!
Hello, hello!
Get outta the way.
Just pay as you're told!
See? This is how you treat a punk like that.
I see.
Little kitty. You don't have to be afraid.
You're OK now. Come to me.
Thief!
Somebody stop him!
Hey man, you want me to get your stuff back?
Will you, really?
Oh yeah. How much are you gonna pay me?
You don't have to if you don't want to.
But... well...
Fine!
I'll pay you as much as you want! Just get him!
All right, it's a deal.
Cough up everything you got.
Thank you for calling.
This is Nereids Kamchatka Branch...
your secure, trusted, all-around service provider.
Is the lead broad there?
Well, she's out of the office right now.
I'm the branch manager. May I help you?
What's up? Eat as much as you want.
Um...
Don't you think it's a little too forceful?
Um...
What's forceful?
Um...
Spit it out.
It's about your work.
What, you got a beef with me?
Oh, no, no beef at all.
But well...
your way is a little...
The world revolves around money. Money!
You got to get puny little jobs done and outta the way as soon as you can.
Otherwise, you don't get any profit!
But...
But what?
But more than money, the willingness to help people in trouble is...
What good is it to please others?
Um...
Our clients' smiles are our joy...
Hee-hee-hee and hee!
There's nothing more important in this world than money!
You're so naive.
How much are they paying you?
You're working like a dog for peanuts, aren't you?
That's not true!
They pay me fine!
But they deduct a big chunk from it, right?
The rent's high even though you're a live-in employee.
And utilities and other expenses are deducted as well.
How much is left after all those deductions?
About this much?
About this much.
And then they deduct job expenses after that, right?
And how much is left?
You think normal people would do something like that?
No, they wouldn't.
Rena's a cold-blooded beast who uses people shamelessly...
giving them just enough money so they won't die, but never more than that.
If you trust her, you're gonna pay even more for it.
Driven like a slave and tossed away like a dirty rag.
Um...
Gloria, can I ask you a question?
What?
Was there something between you and Rena?
Yeah.
Before you joined, I guess, we had a big job.
A museum was burglarized...
and a lot of treasure salvaged from a sunken city got stolen.
Oh.
Thank you for the treasure!
Don't know why, but they asked us to get it back.
Since it was a dangerous job, both the advance payment and fee were good.
I didn't know we could get that kind of job.
Course we can!
And then...
We found the thieves' hideout and stole the treasure back from them.
That's great!
However!
That's as far as our plan went.
The door was closing!
The band of thieves were right on our heels!
I tried to buy some time for Rena and Shizuka!
"Rena! Shizuka! I'll be the human shield here!
You guys go ahead and get ready to get outta here!"
The thieves were gaining on me! Was the boat ready yet?
I was outnumbered! Was this going to be the end of me?
No, I had to fight for my teammates!
I had to endure a fierce gun battle with the band of thieves!
But I couldn't hold out any longer. There was nothing else I could do!
"Rena! Shizuka! You two get outta here!
Don't worry about me!"
And what happened?
I watched them go to make sure they got away unhurt, and...
I ended up getting captured by the thieves.
I had a hell of a time, I'm telling you.
NEREIDS KAMCHATKA BRANCH'S FIRST LEADER WAS HERE
They kept me locked up for one long month.
I managed to escape when their guard was down.
Then I finally got back to this town.
But what d'you know...
Rena's being stingy about my share from thejob.
But more importantly.
Clear your plate, you hear me?
Yes...
Is the lead broad here?
That would be me. Can I help you?
Over-eating, over-drinking Remedy
INAORU S
I can't eat any more. I feel sick.
Why didn't you finish yours?
Maia! Untie us!
Shizuka! Shizuka! What happened?
Rena's been...
Ha-ha-ha and ha!
Rena's being abducted!
That's punishment for not paying me my money!
Gloria, come on!
Why do I have to go rescue Rena?
Just come on!
Go!
OK!
If you wanna go rescue her, go on your own!
Your teammate has been abducted.
She's not my teammate!
Oh, get hold of yourself.
Hello. Hello, is anybody here?
Hey, wake up! Wake up, I said!!
We have to thank you for what you did a month ago.
Don't tell me you don't remember.
You're the sneaky thieves from the museum.
That's right.
Thanks to you, our boss is beyond recovery.
Once we get to the hideout, you'll be tormented in front of the boss.
You'd better be prepared!
How dare you wrongly accuse me!
As if you had nothing to do with it! Look at this!
NEREIDS KAMCHATKA BRANCH'S FIRST LEADER WAS HERE
What's this?
Ah, it's no time to be seasick! It's your chance to show your stuff!
Ugh, it tastes sour.
Shizuka!
They're coming!
Gloria!
Don't bother me! I'm having a nice time throwing up here!
Maia! Get us closer!
OK!
It's OK. The waterway rejoins up ahead.
Gloria, please!
I got nothing to do with this.
They are the survivors from the group of thieves.
And?
They've recently been put on the international wanted list.
So?
There's a reward on their heads! Money!
The ammo!
It fell into the water back there. Use your regular gun.
It fell on the street when you pulled me into the boat.
Gloria, this one!
But this is my lucky charm.
How about the money? Money!
Yeah, but...
Which is more important, a lucky charm or money?
Don't ask me such a stupid question!
Of course money's more important! Get outta the way!
Listen, pick up speed and catch up with 'em!
Once you've done that, get the boat as close to theirs as you can!
OK!
OK, go!
Yes!
All right!
I'll blow their engine off!
No!
What if Rena gets hurt?
All the better!
We can't pay you the money from a month ago unless...
Rena comes back in one piece!
That money's still there?
Of course it is.
All right, if that's the case, leave it to me.
Listen, get closer!
Don't slow down even if bullets start flying!
But...
You got beef?
I'm going! Going!
Hey!
Don't fall back!
No!
Grandpa!
Now, come on!
This shot's gonna cost you.
Let's see, unpaid sum plus the reward from the band of thieves...
minus the repair costs of the boat and the office...
minus the repair costs of the rent delinquent's house door and walls...
minus compensatory payment for the scooter, minus various other expenses...
How much?
You owe money.
You can pay in installments.
We'll just deduct it automatically from your monthly salary, OK?
Oh, and don't worry, we won't charge interest.
That's got to be wrong!
Hey, you think so too, don't you? You think so too, right?
Say you do!
Um...
Number 53, out.

This is Maia.
Grandpa, I was wrong.
How could I ever think that Nereids wasn't so bad?
I don't think I can get along with Gloria.
I mean, she's obsessed with money. Her gun flies before her mouth.
Oh, no, I shouldn't think that way.
Gloria is a human being too. I'm sure I'll be able to make friends with her!
Yes. Isn't that right, Grandpa?
Please tell me that's right...
