Kiroku Icon
Kiroku

Isotake, c-calm dow…

…Um. I think… you probably… just put… what was inside, the player… into this case… when you last… watched… that movie…?

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Which means the one we’re looking for is in The Exemplary Nurse instead!?

Kiroku Icon
Kiroku

P-Probably…?

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Well then that makes things easy! Where are you movie~? Ready or not, here I come!

*intense rummaging*

Kiroku Icon
Kiroku

W-Wait… If you take them out… so randomly… like that… clean up, will be…

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Found it, yay!

The Massacre’s gotta be in here—

Or, NOT!!

Kiroku Icon
Kiroku

…Inside The Exemplary Nurse… is, The Magnificent Forty-Seven?3

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Wh-Why’s it not here…! Okay, then it’s gotta be in this one!?

Kiroku Icon
Kiroku

The Magnificent Forty-Seven… has Enter the Dragon: SNS Hellscape...4 in it…

Akuta Icon
Akuta

This ain’t it either. Nor this one. Nope, nope, nope, NOPE!

WHY DO NONE OF THESE MATCH UP!?

Kiroku Icon
Kiroku

…That’s… what you get… for not, putting things away… properly.

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Ahh, damnit, this is getting nowhere!

At this rate, might as well just go through everything until we find it!

(I gotta somehow make him feel like he fits in.)

Ey, ey, ey, eyyy!!!!

Kiroku Icon
Kiroku

I-Isotake…?

Kiroku Icon
Kiroku

Ah… Ahh, hh…

Nanaki Icon

Phew, that meeting took forever—

Whoa, the hell!? Wh-Why’s our room a mess…? The floor’s covered with disks and cases!?

Akuta Icon
Akuta

‘Sup Nanaki, you’re back!

Nanaki Icon
Nanaki

What in the world… wait, hold on, this is all Akuta’s, right? How many movies do you have stuffed in that shelf!?

Akuta Icon
Akuta

This much!

Kiroku Icon
Kiroku

4D shelf…

…A lot… happened… and it… became… like this.

Nanaki Icon
Nanaki

…I kinda guessed.

Anyways, as it is now, there’s barely any room to move. Let’s get this all cleaned up.

Akuta Icon
Akuta

You guys are gonna help? Thanks, for real~! It doesn’t really matter how the disks go back, so just do whatever—

Kiroku Icon
Kiroku

…*shakes head*.

Nanaki Icon
Nanaki

Yeah, we’re not doing that.

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Okay…

Nanaki Icon
Nanaki

For starters, we’ll sort the disks and cases into two…

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Kiroku~. Sorry I couldn’t find the movie you wanted in the end.

Kiroku Icon
Kiroku

…It’s okay… We didn’t… get to see the movie…

But, it was… like a treasure hunt… I had fun…

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Yeah! Let’s definitely watch it next time!

  1. Parody of The Good Nurse (2022).

  2. Translator’s decision to parody The Illuminati. Akuta originally said “a national conspiracy.”

  3. Parody of The Magnificent Seven (2016).

  4. Parody of Enter the Dragon (1973).
