So good.
The three of us should start a company together.
That's a good idea. -What are we going to do?
Welcome to Dream Crazy!
So pretty!
Kumamoto-san, Ushiroda-san,
I'm happy that I'm able to welcome you as our allies.
I'm so happy! Thank you very much.
I'm really happy.
That's very kind of you.
I can understand this kind of stuff.
I don't hate it though.
I'm happy to hear that.
There was nothing like this in my old job, but
I personally think it's a good thing.
I'm going back to work.
Me too then.
Let's work hard.
Thank you.
Was it a mistake?
Don't ask something that's obvious.
It's a waste if we don't eat the cake.
Don't force an adult to act like students.
I thought that welcome equals party.
Don't fire off crackers.
Don't you guys feel any danger?
Eh...
Are we in a tough spot after all?
At this rate, nobody will invest in your dream.
If you want to be a Unicorn company, with the speed of light...
No, you have to evolve with the speed of Neutrino.
Thanks for the cake.
What do you mean... -That's a networking party.
He surprised me.
Because various investors will attend the party,
so you guys may get the chance to meet someone
that will able to grow your company.
That person always disappears after he says a few words.
We'll definitely grab that chance.
Thank you. Cheers!
So this is a networking party, huh?
No good.
No matter how much I try, they always went to grab a drink and never returned.
Simply put, I want to go home.
Shirakawa-san. -Hello.
Hey.
I see that you also come to this kind of place, Shirakawa-san.
Shirakawa Satoru.
He's a young entrepreneur who's company is the closest to being called a Unicorn company in Japan.
He was a member of Dog Run's first class if I remember correctly.
So, I wonder if we can exchange business cards with him.
There's a lot of people surrounding him though.
We've got nothing to lose. Let's go.
Excuse me, Shirakawa-san.
We're from Dream Crazy.
Shirakawa-san!
Darn it, it's no good.
Riko, let's head back.
Okay.
Komukai Riko-san?
That's right.
Sorry for the weird question, but did you go Aoba Elementary?
Eh? That's right.
I knew it.
Do you know each other?
I was the leader of the commute group.
Satoru-kun?
What are you talking about?
He was in sixth grade when I was in third grade.
I remember you because you always took your time.
You've always been a fast walker, right Satoru-kun?
Is that so?
Okay then.
Meeting...
and a chance...
The app allows users to check information on registered products in real time.
Wow...
Shirakawa-san really became our adviser...
When someone asked you like that...
Please lead us to become an Unicorn company!
I beg you!
I'm really busy nowadays...
Even so, please, I beg you.
Unicorn!
Together now. -Together?
Unicorn!
DreCra is going to be big in an instant.
Calm down.
Be careful with that.
In other words, Nokoruna's main revenue comes from the...
The commission from supermarkets and stores. Got it.
I'll get straight to the point, at this rate, Nokuruna won't survive.
Nokoruna won't survive... What?
The idea of sharing the leftover meals from supermarkets is interesting, but
the problem is that there is no development of service or major growth strategy.
What if a similar service comes along later?
They'll come and fight for our market share.
What should we do?
About developing a service for the future, I want you to think about it concretely.
100 suggestions to start. -100 suggestions?!
Shirakawa-san.
If your aim is to become an Unicorn company, you have to grow faster than the speed of light.
I'll leave it to you then.
Wait!
He's really a fast walker.
Make Nokoruna available in food courts.
There it is.
Number 12.
Seriously...
Food stalls during festivals. -It's already on the board.
Will they be okay?
Or rather this company.
They're being pushed around.
Well, it's no use for me to think about that kind of thing.
Don't you think that we as adults should give them some advice?
I was also in the Financial Planning Department of Mitsubashi Bank,
so I have a lot of ideas...
I have ideas...
100, a service to buy leftover lunch boxes from TV drama shoots.
That's all.
I still can't see a big growth potential.
There's a lot of similar ideas. -You told us to came up with that.
Hey!
I'm sorry.
On the other hand, what if we look at our connections with
supermarkets and retailers as a sales channel?
What do you mean by sales channel?
We're going to have them stock Nokoruna branded items and sell them on participating stores.
You mean that Nokoruna will create something that will last?
Something that will last...
I see.
Frozen foods that will be okay even if it's unsold.
Frozen foods sounds great.
I'll invest, so do you want to do it together with me?
Err...
The company can't grow if you only doing things that you want.
Leaving Dog Run without getting any investment is pathetic.
My hope is to avoid being pathetic.
Okay, let's proceed with the arrangements.
Become an adult, Riko-chan.
I haven't said anything...
Thank you. -He's really a fast walker.
Good work.
DreCra, I heard that you're teaming up with Shirakawa.
I heard the footsteps of an Unicorn.
Riko haven't said that she's going to do it.
What? This is a chance of a lifetime.
According to my data, 90% of all startups goes bankrupt in 3 years.
Don't become a mass production type company and exit in mediocrity.
Good luck.
Thank you very much.
There's also a pattern where he leaves before saying something.
It's not Nokoruna if we sell something that lasts.
It's for the growth of the company. Are you a kid?
I'm not comfortable with it. If that's the case then there's no meaning of the three of us starting a company.
If we go under, then it will be really meaningless.
What do you think, Riko? -Which one of us is right?
Is it me, Shinji? -Is it me, Asai?
Which one of us do you choose? -Wait just a second!
This is all going too fast.
You scared me.
What?
When you have to make a choice,
how do you make that choice?
What?
I don't get what you're saying, but you don't look cute now.
There's nothing that I can't decide on.
Making decisions is our job as presidents, isn't it?
I want to be in a zen like state...
Wow...
Riko-san. I see that you've come to like plastic models now.
I want to be in a zen like state again.
What's wrong?
Do you want me to exorcise it? -Salt?
I was pressed by the two people that I started the company with to choose between them.
A love triangle, huh? I'm intrigued.
It's tingling.
Speaking of love triangles,
Macross.
Gundam Macross?
Macross.
That's right.
The Macross series, which began with "The Super Dimension Fortress Macross",
is characterized by it's unique sense of science fiction that combines three elements,
high-speed mecha action of the Variable Fighters, songs, and love triangles.
It's been going for more than 40 years.
Among them, people said that Macross Plus is unlike the usual robot anime, more like a trendy TV dramas.
With the songs of Sharon Apple playing in the background,
a too painful love triangle or the fight with AI,
and the famous scene called "The Legendary 5 Seconds",
this is a legendary masterpiece that has not faded away.
There are three figures inside of the box?
No, it's even more amazing.
This Macross, transforms.
Open the box!
The YF-19 is an experimental Variable Fighter presented by Shinsei Industries
for Project Super Nova to determine the next generation of Variable Fighters.
There are many different colored parts.
Also known as colored plastic.
In the past, it was only possible to create one runner with same color, but
over the years, it's now possible to create one runner with different colors.
It's fascinating, even before you build it, right?
The parts are so detailed that I want to give up.
It feels like excitement similar to the factory excitement.
But, it's just right for me to get in a zen like state.
I'm going to go according to the manual first.
The face is so small.
You get attached the first time you see it's face.
Listen carefully.
You can hear the sound of the stars.
Click... What a nice sound.
You can hear it one more time.
Click...
It's a low-grade tea, but...
Thanks.
Here you go.
I haven't had tea recently, it hits the spot.
Are you tired?
Yes.
But, it's not too bad.
I feel great, the tiredness is comparable to climbing a mountain.
Like climbing Mt. Takao.
What's that?
A painting booth.
You can paint parts with the color of your choice.
The depth of the world of painting is infinite.
It's an obsession.
Do you want to try it?
No, I'm scared of the infinite obsession.
What!?
By the way...
We also have paint brush.
Yes, we do.
In that case, let's go on a little detour.
Plastic models is freedom. What part to paint is not in the manual.
Dream Crazy color.
Rainbow.
Inking raises the quality of plastic models...
by a notch or two.
This work can be so relaxing.
A person? Micro.
It's the pilot, Isamu Dyson.
He's really good at what he does, but he's a troublemaker who repeatedly breaks military rules.
So be careful.
I'm Komukai Riko.
I told you to be careful.
Isamu-san?
Where are you Isamu-san?
Losing parts.
It's something that happens quite often in the world of plastic models.
Isamu-san?
Where did Isamu-san go?
He'll return eventually.
Macross Plus YF-19 Battroid mode...
Give birth!
Riko-san, there's still more.
Oh yeah, forgive me.
It's the start of a change in looks, like having a short cut.
Macross Plus YF-19 Fighter mode...
Give birth!
Double give births, you really get your money's worth.
There's still one give birth to go.
You're going to be punished if you leave a give birth on the table.
GERWALK is a mid-conversion mode between the aircraft form and the humanoid-robot form.
Riko-san.
It's like this.
Don't you think that it's unfinished?
Don't underestimate the mid-conversion mode.
It can land, walk and even hover using it's legs.
Rather than a two-stage transformation mechanism from humanoid to flying mode,
don't you think that it's great that they realistically shows the mid-conversion mode?
It can be an aircraft. It can also be a humanoid robot.
It's this mid-conversion form that holds infinite possibilities.
Infinite possibilities...
I think I like it.
Really?
Yes.
I don't get it at first, but
the more I look at it, the more that I like it. GERWALK mode.
Mid-conversion mode is great.
Macross Plus YF-19 GERWALK mode...
Give birth!
Hmm?
Since when?
What?
Let's eat for the time being.
Here you go.
You guys still does that even when you're fighting.
What?
Why are you laughing?
Well, even though I'm having such a hard time, when I think that it all comes down to the workplace...
I'd do anything as long as it's fun.
It's so hard to get a job.
Let's start a company, the three of us.
That's a good idea. -What are we going to do?
I guess we'd have to give it our all during our job hunt...
What the heck? -You have no idea, huh?
Thank you for the meal.
You're not eating that? -No.
Give it to me then. -Sure.
Why are you smiling? -I love petit tomatoes.
The guilt that I had for not eating all of it is gone.
Thank you.
What do you guys think about food sharing?
What?
I see.
Nokoruna started with the two of you laughing.
What is that?
What an unfinished robot.
This is great.
Mid-conversion form has infinite charm.
We were panicking and tried to grow, but
this moment right now, might be priceless.
Like this GERWALK right here.
I see.
Now that I look at it... No, I can't see it as a Unicorn.
Of course not.
We're not going to rush things and we're going to do it ourselves.
I think that you're taking the long way around.
But, I guess it's fine.
I'm looking forward to what you guys will come up with.
Good luck.
Shirakawa-kun didn't change what he wanted to do at Dog Run
and didn't get any investment.
I guess he doesn't want you guys to go trough the pain and suffering that comes afterwards.
Thank you very much.
From this to Unicorn!
Unicorn!
Macross.
You're familiar with this?
