Episode 4
"Late Night Summons and Service"
Hello?
Atsushi-kun! Come to the agency right away!
Dazai-san?
Call Ended
What?
Save Electricity!
Why did you call me into the office in the middle of the night?
Have a seat.
You look exhausted. Are you okay?
I was asleep!
Now, now. We've got tea and snacks. Make yourself at home.
You expect me to eat after calling me in at night?!
If we're meeting at this hour, is there an emergency?
Yes. The truth is...
Ghosts have begun appearing in this building.
So we're going to catch them!
They're planning to catch ghosts!
Wait, ghosts? I'm confused. This is all so sudden.
Ghosts are people who hang around even after they're dead.
That's so vague!
No, wait. Why are we even talking about ghosts?
Naomi-chan heard something.
While preparing the president's prized high-quality green tea...
I'd like to try that tea, too.
She heard a voice! Isn't that scary?
But that's not all.
What?
When she opened the cabinet to get donuts...
I'd like some of those treats, too.
She heard another sad and disappointed voice.
What gluttonous ghosts.
By the way, Atsushi-kun, you're drinking that prized tea right now.
The president's?!
Now you're guilty, too.
What's wrong with this corrupt company?!
Call it a perk of working nights.
Kunikida-san?!
Do you really believe in ghosts, anyway?
Isn't it true that something is here?
Maybe they're not scary ghosts. They could just be lonely.
I find it hard to believe,
but I've always wanted to relax with a cup of high-quality tea.
Oh, please. You could have tea anytime.
The ghosts could appear any minute now.
Atsushi-kun, tell us a joke!
What?
I bet one of you is actually a ghost and sitting right in front of us.
Who could it be? Just kidding.
Huh? Dazai-san, Kunikida-san, what is it?
Could both of them be...
My vision suddenly went black, and I don't remember what happened after that.
Save Electricity!
Kunikida-san arrived first thing in the morning,
and said he found me alone on the floor.
Dazai-san said he never called me.
I was quietly drinking
Naturally, Kunikida-san said he was at home, too.
I've always wanted to relax with a cup of tea.
Maybe they're not scary ghosts. They could just be lonely.
What was that about?
Oh, our precious tea and snacks are missing.
I'll go buy some more.
I hope they're satisfied now.
The tea and donuts were good.
Yeah!
Episode 5
"Between Freedom and Duty"
Wow, what's all this?
Camping equipment.
Don't do it, Atsushi-kun!
You're too young to abandon society
and live in a tent out in the wilderness!
Hold on!
This is clearly just outdoor recreational equipment!
Louisa-san didn't know what to do
with all the stuff Francis bought on sale, so she gave it to us.
The other day, she gave us desks and chairs.
Does she think we're storage for unwanted goods?
At this rate, this stuff really will just collect dust.
Since we have the equipment, we might as well go.
Really? But I've never gone camping before.
Neither have I.
I'm not sure I can do it.
What? Atsushi-kun, you're great at it.
Before you met me, you'd been living outdoors for days.
That doesn't count!
Dazai-san, camping means escaping the hustle and bustle of the city
to be surrounded by nature and eat delicious food...
And chat with your friends?
Also, um...
Your lack of experience is showing, Atsushi-kun!
I can't help it! I've never gone camping before!
Well, we're here.
We sure are, thanks to all the research you did.
Though Dazai was too lazy to come.
I know.
Anyway, I had no idea the outdoors felt so good.
We'll be able to relax here.
You're right.
I didn't know that not being constantly threatened by death could be so relaxing.

Perks of Camping #2 Camping trips are satisfying to plan
It's perfect.
Behold! I made takikomi rice in a canteen!
Wow, that looks good.
Let's grill some meat, too!
I've always wanted to try this.
To our break from the grind!
Cheers!
What is it?
Emotionless
Silence
I was just thinking about how good the meat is.
Yes, that much is apparent.
What about you, Kunikida-san?
I was just thinking we're eating outdoors.
Honestly, like Dazai-san said, this reminds me of living outdoors
and makes the food taste less good.
And I keep worrying about when work might come in or disaster could strike.
Camping is harder than I thought.
Maybe this is actually what we're meant to enjoy.
Let's go to sleep!
Yeah! We did everything on the schedule!
Good night!
We're sleeping in a tent.
Now I feel like going, too.
Now I feel like going, too...
Episode 6
"Atsushi-kun and the Angel and Devil"
Hey, Atsushi-kun.
Yes?
You know how sometimes we pick at hangnails?
Ouch.
And remove the protective film from a new remote when it starts to peel?
I planned to leave it on for a while.
Or do other things that can't be undone?
That's true. Sometimes we do things we know we shouldn't.
Anyway, here.
What is that?
A button to blow up the Earth.
What?!
Sometimes we do things that can't be undone.
This is on an unprecedented scale though!
Sometimes, I just don't care what happens to our world.
You're the last person who should have that!
Maybe I'll push the button.
It's not like I believe you, okay?
But you shouldn't be so down on life!
Life is happy and fun! Yahoo!
For now, why don't we get something good to eat?
Just kidding.
What?
Of course that kind of horrifying button doesn't exist.
Are you sure?
This device is a little recorder.
When you press the button, it plays Kunikida's drunk ramblings at high volume.
Wan Cup
Dazai, I'm thankful for everything! I have great respect!
That button is horrifying after all. For Kunikida-san, that is.
I even have audio of him delivering very stupid jokes with a straight face!
There's no damn way they're building a dam here!
It's so dumb, but I want to hear more!
Also, I have audio of him praising you.
What?!
It's yours now.
Do with it as you will.
What?!
C'mon, Atsushi-kun, let's press the button.
Don't you want to know what Kunikida-kun said?
I bet it's really interesting, and you rarely get chances like this.
Go on. Nobody's around.
Take a peek at a surprising side of Kunikida-kun.
Help! A devil's trying to tempt me!
Atsushi-kun, don't let him lead you astray.
It's an angel!
Don't go along with the devil's mischief.
I won't.
Kunikida-kun wouldn't want everyone to hear that embarrassing recording.
You're alone in the office right now. Nobody else is here.
Actually, then now's the time to listen to it.
If you pretend you didn't hear it, then it's like you never did.
Yeah, yeah!
A fallen angel?!
It's your colleague's fault for giving you that sketchy button at work.
And it takes a real piece of work to record a drunk colleague.
I couldn't agree more.
Push it, push it!
You can have this back.
Did you press it?
I did not.
I see.
It's true.
I don't doubt it.
After all, we didn't blow up.
What?!
Wan!
Shorts
Won't Stop Counting Up
Wan! Shorts.
So good~
Let us see who is superior, weretiger.
You're using actual words?!
