Oden

Wow, you're really good.

No wonder you're a pro.

We have Wi-Fi

What's with you guys? You ain't gettin' anything just because you're praising me now.

Chibita-kun, did you find any takers?

Not yet. How about you?

Nope.

I've been looking for a good fit from among our customers, but...

It's been a bit rough because our customer count's fallen lately, too.

I see.

Well, I have been using it forever.

Hybrid Oden Cards Accepted

It might just be time to call it.

Chibita, I guess it's finally happening tomorrow.

We've told everyone to show up.

Don't make too big of a deal out of it. It's just not my style.

I'm looking forward to your speech.

Speech?!

Did you guys tell Osomatsu-kun?

I dunno... I just can't seem to tell him.

Talk about pathetic.

But it's tomorrow.

I'll tell him.

Oh, he's here.

Huh?

Aw, man. I lost again.

I really thought I'd win big today.

What's up with that thing, anyway? I guess all I can do now is drink.

Chibita! Get me a draft beer!

Huh?

Osomatsu.

I have something important to tell you.

You've run up an insane tab. I'm thinking about officially suing you.

What?! You'd do that to your precious childhood friend?!

Then pay up, you idjit!

You hear me?! Huh?! Precious childhood friend, my ass!

Next time! I promise I'll win big next time!

Here ya go.

Man, I'm tired.

Should we get going? The bathhouse is gonna close soon.

Thanks for the food, Chibita.

We'll be back again!

Don't bother, you idjit.

Totoko-chan, be safe getting home.

I will!

See ya!

Yup!

Akatsuka Bath

Man, the night air feels so nice!

It's gotten a lot cooler.

It's already the end of summer.

It went by in a flash. And we never got to go to the ocean.

I guess we'll just have to wait until next time.

Yeah.

Hey.

Wanna go get some ramen?

Huh?

Oh, here we go.

Right now?!

No. Let's go home.

I thought you just said you were tired.

Let's go.

Let's go!

And he fell asleep. He's so damn hopeless.

I can't believe Chibita's gonna quit his oden stall.

Who knew this day would come?

I just figured he'd have it open forever.

Why's he closing up? Money?

No idea. I'm sure running an oden stall is rough, though.

Maybe we're also part of the reason.

I feel bad.

What can we do? Chibita's made up his mind.

But that stall is still totally usable.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure he's taken real good care of it over the years.

Ramen

It feels like such a waste.

Again, what can we do? It's too late to say that now.

But seriously... why, Chibita?

Why can't he tell Osomatsu?

S-Sorry about this...

No worries.

Thanks for the food.

Hey, wake up. Let's go already.

Come on!

Huh?

You okay?

Excuse me...

Huh? That's weird.

It started last time when I did this.

Ichimatsu, what did I do last time?

Huh?!

Man, this engine...

Huh? Dad, don't you have work today?

I'm off. It's Autumnal Equinox Day.

You're playing hooky? You should work more diligently.

You morons! You should be working diligently!

Don't give me that! How long do you boys plan to keep living like this?

Hup.

Where're you going?

The horse races.

You'd better win, Osomatsu.

Of course!

Wait.

We're going to Chibita's stall today.

Huh?

Show up in the evening.

Well, I'm going to the horse races right now.

If I win, I'm probably going to go drinking, so who knows if I'll show up?

No!

You need to come.

What? What's up?

Aw. Thanks, guys.

Thanks for all the delicious oden

Thanks for your work

Thanks!

Here.

Here you go.

No need to hold back. Eat up.

We're having a feast tonight!

Here.

Thanks.

Thanks, guys.

Oh, don't worry about it, Riceballs. Just leave it.

We're about to run out of battery...

Sorry to keep you out so late.

Thanks for the food.

No problem! Oh, one sec.

Here, little lady. A gift for you.

Aw, isn't that nice?

Listen up.

Make sure you take care of your mom, okay?

You'll be all set if you eat this oden. Got it?

You idjit.

Where'd you learn that?!

I'm counting on you guys tomorrow.

- Hoeh. - Dayon.

Jo.

Thanks, guys.

For doing all this. I'm the luckiest guy ever.

Right?

Sorry, Chibita.

We told him he absolutely had to come, but...

Nah, it's fine. It's my fault for not telling him directly.

I mean, it sucks.
