"Aitsu ga boku no naka ni ...me, me, me, me, me, me, me iru iru iru iru iru iru iru" "Bro's been acting weird lately?" "You think so?" "He seems the same as always to me." "I mean, like the other day, he left in the middle of a date saying something had come up." "He'd never done something like that before." "Could it be he's cheating on me?" "!" "No way!" "Not Yamato!" "But, but Miyu's been studying for exams all the time lately to get the scholarship, and even if we're engaged, if I'm still not with him..." "Oh, what'll I do, Ran?" "!" "Miyu's been dumped by Yamato!" "Miyu!" "Choke!" "Choke!" "One!" "Two!" "Three!" "Jeez!" "What're you panicking for?" "!" "There's no way that bro of mine would cheat on you!" "But..." "But it's definitely weird." "Yamato's acting weird!" "Welcome " " Exciting " " Palm Tree Grand Opening!" "Suspicious..." "He's definitely suspicious..." "Yamato!" "Why am I here, too?" "Alright, we're following him!" "(Food Pavilion)" "Thank you very much!" "This is getting even more suspicious." "It just could be that he just might be..." "Yamato!" "Why am I here, too?" "You're not getting away from us!" "Where the hell'd he go?" "!" "Damn, we lost him." "It's really quiet here somehow." "I had no idea that even Shibuya had a quiet spot like this." "What's this place?" "Palm Tree?" "(Grand Opening)" "I wonder if it's a Hawaiian restaurant." "It looks like it just opened." "There's no need to worry." "This voice..." "Yamato?" "!" "B-But, Yamato..." "Leave everything to me." "Oh, n-no, not there..." "You can't!" "Oh!" "Y..." "YAMATO!" "M-Miyu..." "Oh, Ran!" "Hey there." "Here you go." "Thanks for waiting." "Junior?" "Right, she was a grade below me in junior high and high school." "I'm Towa Himejima." "Nice to meet you, everyone." "(Towa Himejima" " Age 24)" "Hello." "Then, could it be that the reason you've been acting weird lately is because you'd been helping out with this restaurant once in a while?" "Sorry." "She begged me to help her, so..." "Because I didn't think I could get the place ready in time for the grand opening by myself." "When I was in big trouble, a police officer just happened to pass by." "So, I thought it was perfect timing." "And I worked up the guts to ask him to help." "Who the heck normally grabs an officer on patrol and asks him to do something like that?" "I mean, it was fine because it was me, but..." "Excuse me, did you just say something?" "No, nothing!" "So that's how it went." "Sorry I didn't tell you." "I didn't mean to hide it from you." "No, it's okay." "Miyu loves how you're nice like that, after all." "You sure have grown up, Ran." "Uh, long time no see, Towa-rin." "The last time we met was over 5 years ago, so I guess it's only natural that you've grown up." "We played a lot together back then, didn't we?" "We had so much fun!" "So Ran, you're friends with Miss Towa, too." "I've just known her for a long time." "Well, Towa Himejima's the old number one gal of Shibuya, so I've known her name since way back when..." "She was number one in Shibuya?" "Yup, she's the original superstar gal of Shibuya." "Oh, please!" "A superstar?" "You're exaggerating, Ran." "Besides, this was a long time ago." "She was what every gal wanted to be and the boys idolized her, but one day, she suddenly vanished from Shibuya unexpectedly and the name of Towa Himejima became legend." "You say I vanished, but I was just hopping around various places for work for a while." "Oh, stop it, stop it!" "This is embarrassing!" "Stop it!" "You're making me blush!" "Oh, welcome!" "I should get going..." "What?" "!" "You're leaving already, Yamato?" "!" "You can't leave me by myself..." "You know, what are you going to do if you can't manage your own business by yourself?" "!" "But...!" "Besides, I have to go to work now." "Well, good luck, Himejima." "Good luck at work to you, too, Yamato." "Later." "Okay, Miyu, Aya, we should think about leaving soon, too..." "Ran, you're so cold!" "I'm in a really tight spot and you're going to abandon me?" "You're mean!" "You're mean!" "Ran, you're so mean!" "No, so like, it's not about abandoning you or anything..." "You're mean!" "You're mean!" "Ran, you're so mean!" "Fine!" "Fine, then!" "(High School Girl's Secret)" "If that's how you're going to be, I'll tell them!" "(High School Girl's Secret)" "I'll tell everyone about your secret!" "(High School Girl's Secret)" "Ran's secret?" "(High School Girl's Secret)" "How exciting." "(High School Girl's Secret)" "So, get this." "Ran is actually..." "(High School Girl's Secret)" "Stop that, Towa-rin!" "You can't tell them that, no matter what!" "But, you're being all..." "Alright, alright..." "I just have to help out with the shop, right?" "Happy now?" "That's why I love you, Ran!" "Come on, it's not like I'm demanding you to help for the rest of your life." "I've never seen her like this." "Ran is being led around by the nose." "Yeah, yeah." "Well, then, do your best starting tomorrow!" "Thank you very much!" "So tired!" "Okay, everyone, thanks for your hard work!" "Give me a little time, okay?" "I'll make you a reward." "Now, you must be hungry." "Help yourselves!" "Thanks for the food!" "It's delicious!" "It really is!" "You're a great cook, Miss Towa!" "It's nothing that special." "Please teach me how to make this next time!" "Just goes to show that everyone..." "Please teach me how to make this next time!" "Just goes to show that everyone..." "Me too!" "Just goes to show that everyone..." "Aya, hand me that one." "That one there." "...has at least one redeeming trait." "Aya, hand me that one." "That one there." "Whoops." "My hand slipped." "Say, Miss Towa, what's that photo?" "Photo?" "See?" "That one over there." "Oh, that?" "Moonlight?" "Oh?" "Could it be that this place was..." "Yup." "This place used to be a cafe called "Moonlight"." "But, why do you have that thing up there?" "There's a wish behind this photo." "A very precious wish." "I don't get it!" "Hey." "What?" "Didn't you promise to help me with my homework?" "After we're done reading this." "Oh, I see." "But this place has totally become our hangout, hasn't it?" "What's wrong with that?" "Miss Towa seems to like all of us, too." "Yup, yup." "But man..." "Could it be that you hate me?" "Yeah." "That's so mean!" "I like you so much!" "That's so mean!" "It was joke, okay?" "A joke." "Really?" "Yes, really." "But you know, compared to when we just opened, don't you think there are fewer customers lately?" "Yeah, that's the thing." "So far today, our only customer is that lady over there." "What in the world could have happened?" "It's a problem." "I wonder why the customers aren't coming?" "Both the coffee and the cakes are so good." "Well, it is in a hard-to-find spot." "But only one customer showing up is strange." "Well, I'm gonna go this way today." "Where are you going?" "I'm dropping by a drug store to check out some makeup." "This way's a shortcut." "Ran!" "Ow ow ow ow..." "What the hell is this?" "!" "This is terrible." "You can't get through with all that stuff." "That's it!" "It's because of this!" "That's why customers aren't showing up at Miss Towa's place lately." "It's not that they weren't coming." "It's that they couldn't come." "Who's there?" "!" "He got away... (No Traffic Beyond This Point)" "Obstruction of business?" "!" "What a petty thing to do!" "Who the hell's doing this?" "!" "They won't get away with this!" "Ribbit." "I wonder if someone lost this stuff?" "Yes!" "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes..." "Yes?" "This is Palm Tree." "Maybe it was a wrong number." "Yes?" "This is Palm Tree." "Oh?" "Um..." "Perhaps you have the wrong phone number?" "!" "Someone called the wrong number two-hundred times in a row!" "That has to be really rare!" "Oh?" "Is there a fire?" "Is this..." "I am truly sorry!" "I apologize for your troubles!" "What could be going on here, Mr. Cat?" "It's been a very strange day." "Here you are!" "Ten orders of prime sushi!" "Twenty orders of tempura with buckwheat noodles!" "Fifty orders of shish kabobs!" "I had a feeling this was next!" "Towa-rin, if you didn't order it, you could've just turned it down!" "And who the hell would eat it all by herself?" "!" "I think I've eaten a bit too much." "A bit my ass!" "Or rather, you're amazing in a different sense." "Seriously amazing in a way." "I can't help it." "All the food they cooked would've gone to waste." "That's not the issue here!" "But, don't you think this is terrible, even for a prank?" "Isn't this harassment?" "Miyu thinks so, too." "And there's also that thing from yesterday." "Towa-rin, you got any ideas?" "I know what you're saying, but I only came back to Shibuya just recently, so..." "Yes, yes." "Yes?" "This is Palm Tree." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Leave." "Pardon?" "Leave that place, now!" "Got it?" "What could that have been about?" "He told me to leave." "Leave?" "!" "Leave..." "Leave..." "What is it, Towa-rin?" "!" "Oh, no!" "I'd completely forgotten to pay this month's rent to the owner!" "I'm going to get kicked out at this rate!" "Ran, watch the place for me for a bit, okay?" "Who thinks that totally wasn't about getting her to pay rent?" "Me..." "Damn it!" "What a stubborn woman!" "I wonder if the owner's mad?" "Thank you very much!" "Man!" "How far did Towa-rin go to pay the rent?" "Yeah..." "Maybe she's taking a detour somewhere." "Hey, everyone, come out here for a sec." "It's beautiful." "It almost makes you forget that you're in Shibuya." "This place is unbelievably quiet, too." "Maybe this is a redevelopment area." "The buildings in this area might all be torn down eventually." "I don't understand why Towa-rin wants to do business in such a deserted area." "Towa-rin seems dopey and she seriously is dopey, after all." "And she seems like she really sucks at business." "I hope she doesn't go out of business..." "Gag!" "Ran, you're so mean!" "Fine, then!" "If you're going to be like that, I'll..." "I'll...!" "This is looking real bad..." "I'll be fine, so you guys go home!" "We can't do that." "We're too worried." "Man, I sure stuck my foot in my big mouth back there." "Okay, watch the cafe for me." "Because, I mean, we can't have more trash dumped there or something." "Here!" "Rice balls and tea for your late-night snack." "Since it's come to this," "I'm catching the culprit no matter what!" "If I don't, who knows how many days I'll have to watch this place!" "Miss Towa doesn't seem like such a cruel person..." "You don't know the true horror that is Towa-rin!" "Towa-rin's..." "Towa-rin's..." "Shh." "Someone's coming." "There we go." "It's him!" "Hey, you!" "Freeze!" "Hold it right there!" "Hold it!" "Hold it!" "You're not getting away!" "There's no way you can catch up to me." "Don't you underestimate the great Ran Kotobuki!" "Platform Boomerang!" "Hey!" "Now, let's hear what this is all about!" "Make her vacate?" "!" "Yeah, a certain company asked me to buy up the land in this whole area." "But, the landlord absolutely refused to sell that plot of land." "All because it was rented out to that woman." "That's why you were harassing Miss Towa." "After all, if that woman leaves, the landlord should give in." "That cafe's smack in the middle of the area planned for redevelopment." "I'm in trouble if I can't get that plot." "I understand the situation quite well now." "Miss Towa..." "Towa-rin, what are you..." "I am very sorry, but I have no intention of letting that shop go or of vacating that location." "I finally got the place running, after all." "And I have my precious customers." "So, I am sorry, but please give up." "You're letting me go?" "Yes, but if you ever do anything so horrible again..." "I will do this to you." "Take that!" "Towa-rin might not look it, but she's got a black belt in karate." "This place was my youth itself." "It was always full of young people gathering together and they spoke of their dreams to each other." "Laughter was ever present." "I wanted to create a place where young people would gather again." "I wanted to create a place like Moonlight again." "That was all I wanted." "That was the one thing I lived for." "I'm sorry, Miss Towa." "My selfish wish has brought trouble upon you as well." "Please!" "It's no trouble at all!" "So, Lady Owner, am I a good enough store manager in your eyes?" "Of course!" "Please keep up the good work." "I will!" "I'll do my best!" "Towa-rin, we're here!" "Oh, welcome!" "Say, Miss Towa, I have a favor to ask of you." "What is it, Miyu?" "Would you allow Miyu to work part-time here?" "Please, Towa-rin." "Miyu wants to earn her tuition on her own." "Please, Miss Towa!" "Sure, you got it." "Really?" "!" "I was actually wondering how I was going to manage on my own just now." "You'd be a most welcome addition, Miyu!" "Alright!" "Thank you very much!" "I'll do my best!" "I hate it, you're always laughing Daikirai anata itsumo waratte ite" "And so strong and cute and popular Tsuyokute kawaikute ninki-mono de" "I hate it, I'm so dull and slow Daikirai watashi guzu de noroma de" "And no one needs me..."

"Palm Tree's troubles are settled now, but with one problem gone, another one's come up." "This time, the disaster's on me." "A mystery enemy with a smoldering grudge." "Picking a fight with irritating harassment!" "Miyu's cell and Aya's commuter pass get stolen." "It's a huge mess!" "Threatening calls from the culprit!" "If you want everything back, quit being a gal?" "!" "We've got a voice, but the culprit's nowhere in sight." "Is the enemy fog or mist?" "I'm at a complete loss!" "Next time on Super GALS!"
