In the red! ln the red! Totally in the red!
In past three weeks, only a few customers have been coming.
If this continues, I won`t be able to pay the employee`s salary...
or buy cleaning materials.
Oh, I just heard a rumor about strange bubble detergents...
coming out of the crater.
Out of the question!
Mr. Yoshioka...
from now on, you bring nothing except fuel from that strange crater.
Y...yes.
Let`s brainstorm to come up with an event thatfits the bathhouse concept.
Good idea.
Well, Mayuko, what`s the real reason behind a bathhouse`s existence?
Well, it`s for people who don`t have a bathtub at home.
That`s true. But is that the only reason?
Well, um...?
The bathhouse has been a place for Japanese people to interact...
since ancient times.
People who didn`t know each other were unclothed, but communicating.
Yes, the bathhouse was originally a place for communication.
No one came just to take a bath.
Back then, people would borrow soap from each other in the bath...
and dressing rooms became parlors for socializing.
It was a great time.
That`s right! The bathhouse is for socializing.
Although, times have changed...
Have they?
I`m living alone in an condo in the middle of Tokyo.
I have a bath, but sometimes I miss having people around late at night.
There must be so many potential customers.
Potential customers.
Yes, I mean, if we made the bathhouse like it used to be...
a place for socializing, for healing loneliness in modern times.
Customers would bring in other customers.
Our place will be packed and business will be revived!
Yeah, it makes sense.
But we have to pull the customers in first.
Right, so we have to think of some special event.
I want something catchy and exciting.
Something that will capture young people`s imagination.
An event, an event...
The bathhouse is a place for communication.
Big catch! Big catch!
NieA, where were you? You missed the management meeting!
I was stealing motherboards from the bankrupt game center by the station.
Look at this!
What is this junk?
Oh, you don`t know anything, Mayu.
For premium parts like these, I can get whatever I want.
Here!
This is the Volvoge motherboard with seven built in Zailog Z 80As.
It`s built on a convertible ladybug panel! There`s less than 10 others in existence!
If I bring these to a used parts store...
I can make a lot of money!
How can you have so much knowledge aboutjunk?
I`m not interested in this garbage.
Why notjoin the management meeting?!
Humph!
I won`t give my valuable ideas to a stingy meeting...
that`s not even serving snacks.
Hold it!
Wait!
Does that bankrupt game center still have any game machines?
Of course, what else would they have?
I`ll take it!
Huh?
You`ll take what?
The machines from the game center!
We`ll get them now.
This is heavy.
You`re weak Mayu!
You`re young. You should have more stamina.
You`re saying that while sitting there on top!
Why don`t you push!?
What?
How could Little NieA push such a heavy thing?
I wonder what this has to do with communication in the bathhouse?
Hey! Mush! Mush!
I can set up the game machines in the changing room.
I got a good deal.
But, what are you going to do with them?
We`ll use these valuable machines to attract more customers.
We can make the Enohana bathhouse a social place, just like the old days.
We will hold the Enohana Game Tournament!
Game tournament?
Yes.
We`ll have a weekly tournament where customers compete against employees.
I think this could bring in young customers and more importantly...
itfits into the concept of "communication in the bathhouse``.
Yeah...
Let`s socialize at the bathhouse.
Game tournament.
Luxurious prizes.
I`m home! Father!
Why are you so worked up, Chie?
Big news! Big news! Listen! Listen!
Well, excuse me. I`m going to work.
Huh?
What are you doing here Genzo?
H...hey, Chigasaki.
This...
My father told me to bring this to you.
Pu...Prushy?
Yeah.
Are you sure about this?
You just gave me rice the other day.
I feel bad getting things from you.
It`s nothing. Besides, my family owns a rice store.
Well, thank you.
Oh, I have to go to work now.
At the restaurant?
Yes, the restaurant.
All right! The leek and liver is ready!
Well, I was just getting hungry and thinking about eating dinner.
You were?
I wish I could treat you in return for the rice.
Don`t push yourself too hard. You`re a self-supporting student.
Isn`t she, Genzo?
Yeah.
C...Chie, you don`t have to say that.
Extremely Spicy...
Welcome!
I`ll take the extremely spicy kimchi bowl, for take out.
One Kimchi bowl!
Oh, you`re from the other day.
What?! ls there a problem?
Welcome!
Please have a seat by the table.
Humph!
Here you are.
Humph!
Oh, by the way, I saw the flyer outside the bathhouse.
The flyer?
Chie told me about the Enohana game tournament.
She`s very excited.
Oh, yeah.
The bathhouse hasn`t been doing so well lately...
so we`re holding an event to bring in more customers.
I`m guessing Kotomi is the one who thought of it.
Yes.
I thought so.
Sounds likefun!
Hey, children can enter too, right?
Of course! Any customer can come.
I`ll tell the kids at school and bring lots of new customers.
Chie is crazy about games.
Besides, they`ll give us luxurious prizes.
Hey, Genzo, you`ll participate in this too?
Ah...me?
Well, I could come along.
What?
I`d be happy to have more team members...
but don`tforce yourself Genzo?
Well, since it pleases you, l`ll do it.
Huh?!
It sounds so nice! It sounds so nice!
It`s cute attending game tournaments as a couple.
C...couple!?
Stop it Chie! You shouldn`t tease adults!
I`m entering that tournament!
And I challenge you!
Huh?
Here, one extremely spicy kimchi bowl!
Uh, chopsticks please.
Huh?
It`s hot.
The first Enohana Bathhouse Game Tournament...
has opened!
Well, what to say...it seems like there are only children here.
Hey boys and girls, what happened to your parents?
They`re not here.
Because this is a game!
They told me to come back with prizes.
Aren`t you starting? Hurry up!
Hang in there.
Besides, we have to make the best of this situation.
I guess so.
If the children spread word of mouth, this place could be packed soon.
Well, then l`ll explain the rules.
Participants have to play three different games...
with the "Enohana Game lron Men``, behind the divider.
The person who makes it to thefinal round...
will fight with the "Secret Enohana Boss``.
If you win the championship you will receive...
An Enohana Bathhouse Gold Passport!
What? That`s the luxurious prize?
I thought the prize was unlimitled game play.
What a stupid prize!
That`s right! Give us food!
Give me one years worth of gourmetfood!
This gold card lets you use our bathhouse free for one year and...
we`ll give you one fruit milk after every bath.
Now, isn`t that generous!
I want cash!
I want the newest game machine!
Be quiet!
If you win three times consecutively you`ll get the fighting spirit prize!
What`s the fighting spirit prize?
What kind of prize is that?
We`ll save that surprise for later! Everybody, get ready to play hard!
Damn it! I can`t stand these brats.
I`ll never let them win a free pass.
You must beat them all...
so they never make itto the final round with the old lady! No matter what!
Alright.
I`ll show them.
I`ll drill the hardship of the adult world into these sniveling brats.
Where did the concept of communication go?
We will now commence!
Wow, this is amazing!
They`re all vintage games!
This is chic!
Are these old games fun to play?
You`re so out of it.
Retro-games are the big thing right now.
That`s right!
Games using polygons aren`tfun anymore.
Retro-games are hot now.
Oh, is that so?
Well, let`s start the first game!
Come out! Enohana lron Man of Fire!
Yes!
Then! Ladies first!
Chie, please take your place!
Yes!
You have to extinguish the blazes started by thefire devil.
Let`s see...hit the AB button repeatedly to put out the fire.
All right! I won`t lose!
Then, begin!
I...l`m an old fogie who only knows his job.
Actually, I can`t play games at all...
Mr. Yoshioka!
Hitthe buttons! Hit the buttons! Good luck!
Kotomi...
All right.
Burn! Burn!! Burn up! You!!
No way! This is awful!
You think you can put out my fire that way?!
Burn everything!!! Burn it all to ashes, you bastard!
That man`s scary!
Isn`t he kinda dangerous?
N...no! lt`s not what you think. I`m doing this for the game.
I`m actually a man very concerned with safety, who`s shy and lovable.
Why are you saying that? The game! The game! l`m actually a man very concerned with safety, who`s shy and lovable.
Why are you saying that? The game! The game!
OK!
Yeah! Yeah!
I did it! One victory!
I behaved shamefully and let Kotomi down.
Well, I guess it was too much to expectfrom an old man like him.
We`ll start the real game now!
Next!
Come out! lron Man of Fist!
S...sure!
And the challenger is, that China lady please!
Fighting games are my specialty!
Who acts like that nowadays?
You shut up!
I`ll give you a real taste of my secret kung fu.
What`s that Chinese wanna-be? Don`t be a show off!
I said shut up!
Hang in there Genzo.
Alright.
Huh, Genzo?
Then let`s fight!
Genzo...
No emotion!!
It`s time to fight!
And what`s this?!
Has the Chinese wanna-be, Karna, lost her technique?
I sense hesitation.
Did her spinning antenna get crossed with a love-wave?
Shut up you no antenna!
Oh, you`re blushing! I hit the nail on the head!
And I was onlyjoking.
Oops.
What about the game?
Oh!
Oh, I won.
Good job, Genzo... I mean, lron Man of Fist!
Foul!
This no antenna kept distracting me with pointless chatter!
You`re not being honest.
I should check the love fortune of a narrow-minded girl like you.
Just shut up!
And l`ll pay you back three fold!
Remember that!
W... why is she telling me!?
Well, well! Let`s continue!
Mayuko, NieA, get ready.
Oh, yeah.
The game is over!
The Enohana lron Man of Fist! Now with consecutive wins!
Damn! l`ll take him!
Let`s fight!
You`re doing great! Keep it up!
Just beat all the customers like that!
This is bad!
Well, the game is getting heated.
The last lron Man of Enohana Bathhouse...
Come out! Miss. Thousand Hands Kannon!
Yes!
Do you understand, NieA?
We have to stop everybody so the old lady won`t have to fight.
Easy win! Easy win!
Begin!
We`re losing! We`re losing!
Well, what does this say?
Type a command, increase the enemy characters on the opponent side.
Oh, NieA, hurry up! Why don`t you do something?
Take this! Kannon command input!
Oh, we won!
See! What did I tell you?
Bravo! Thousand Hands Kannon!
Damn it! Don`t lose!
Beat them!
Here, next!
Easy! Easy! Easy! Easy!
It`s notfair! There`s no way to win!
Oh, you lost the game? What a disappointment, boys!
The last challenger left is Chiefrom Karuchie.
Please step up!
Yes, l`ll never lose!
Hey, l`m tired and thirsty after working so hard.
I need a drink!
No! Be patient! We can finish if we win one more game!
But l`m so thirsty I might lose. What am I going to do?
Oh?
You`re impossible! Drink it quickly and win!
OK! Start!
Oh, it started! NieA, hurry, hurry!
Don`t rush me. I`m freshening up.
Now isn`tthe time to relax!
Here we go!
What`s this?!
Hey NieA! Attack now! Hurry!
Oh, you`re getting beaten? Mayuko, you really stink!
Because you`re loafing!
I can`t see!
I`ve got it.
I won!
I lost...
A tasty drink after a game is the best!
This is no time to indulge!
We have no choice.
Now the chalenger who defeated the three iron men...
mustface the last boss in a final showdown!
Ah, I slept well.
Now, the last game! No cheap shots! Fight with courage!
Are you both ready?
On your marks.
Get set.
Start!
She`s unbelievablyfast. What technique is she using?
Since l`ve gotten old I tremble a lot.
No way!!
So, you got the fighting spirit prize.
Yeah.
Did you have fun?
Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah...
Oh, that`s good.
A luxurious prize...isn`t it?
Thank you very much.
but you can`t throw feces.
Well, I never knew those games ate such an awful amount of electricity.
W...we`re totally in the red.
