Well then
It is now April, and it is great news that our Chuo TV has come to celebrate its 40th anniversary…
I can't help but wonder why I was promoted at this time of the year. Is it just the whim of those in the top committee?
Regardless, I was promoted from an afternoon show to evening news, possibly to fill in the shoes of the now retired, legendary TV anchor Mr. Miyake.
A brief glance might show that the coast is clear for a great success… but
World Fool News is a program that will make a crying baby silent, or should I say, a silent baby to start crying.
Plus, the rumor says that the staff are weird as hell.
I'm scared.
But I’ve been offered this great position as the main anchor. Whatever the rumor says, I have to think positive.
- Did you lock it for sure? - I did, for sure.
- Then why is it like this. - I'm as clueless as you are.
They’re arguing, arguing about something… - Man, there's soil all over.
He's questioning her about the door, then gets upset because there’s soil. What in the world is going on… (- Clean it up - I will)
Faced with reality, my circuit of thought that was initially wired towards the direction of positivity exploded.
It's as if I was asked to spell out letters with fireworks only to discover that there started a major wildfire.
This might seem as a big success, but my mind is far from being as clear as the sky but as blue as it…
World Fool News
Good morning.
I'm Ichitaro Takahashi , nice to meet everyone.
- I was waiting for you. - Thank you.
- Will you sign this? Isn't this is marriage registration paper?
- Yup, I carry this around all the time. - You and this paper are like a hen and its eggs.
- Hehe. - Wow, you reek of alcohol.
- It's not a big deal. - Yes, it is.
Good morning, Mr. Takahashi
- Hey, want some pills that will make you feel better? - No thank you.
- That's no fun. I was hoping to fool you… - Were you trying to scam me?
- It's a scary world. There's even a saying, "they pull out the eyes of a horse" and put them on a CD. - What kind of saying is that?
Who are these people...
- How are you, Mr. Takahashi? - Chief Director.
- Why is there a dog here? - Oh, this is my...
- Please, stop calling the director a dog. He's our chief.
- I was talking about the real dog here... - Oh, sorry. I just assumed you were calling the director a dog.
Could you be careful with your assumptions that could trouble people?
- Could you get ready for morning meeting? - OK
I was drinking until this morning, my head hurts. Yea, talk to you later
- Mr. Usui! - Oh, Ms. Miki.
- Good morning, sir. - Oh, look who it is.
- You're the star at this place from today. Good luck. - Thank you.
Mr. Usui, could I talk to you?
- What's up? Love confession? - This is a big problem.
- What's wrong? - There was a robbery.
- There was forced entrance. - What got stolen?
- Nothing. - What are you saying?
- Instead, a plant that no one ordered is sitting in our studio. - What do you mean?
- It indeed is a mystery. - Maruyama, what happened?
- When we came to the studio this morning, there was that plant. - But the studio was locked.
- That's weird. - We asked other staff members but nobody's up to it.
- Did you check the recorded tape of the room? - Yes.
- But, you know there was a blackout last night. - Indeed.
- So, there's no recording of the time during the blackout. - Someone must have broken in during the blackout.
Yes.
- The door was locked? - Yes, I was the first one to come in today but the door was locked.
- Did you ask others? - Yes, and they all said they have no idea.
Don't you think that we...
look really cool right now?
- Agree. - Yes.
- Anyway, nothing got stolen so no big deal. - Should we report to the police?
Nothing got stolen.
Are you sure?
I believe something did get stolen.
Our space.
Space.
This is without a doubt, a "Space Thief."
A Space,
Thief?
So the thief will gradually take over our space in the studio?
What's his purpose?
I don't know yet. But...
I will catch him for sure. I swear on my grandma's grave.
- Was your grandmother in such industry or something? - Yes.
A candy shop.
- Anyway, let's deal with this later. - Yes.
- Today's Takahashi's debut, so we gotta help him focus. - You're right.
My first big step as a news anchor...
I marched in high and proud, yet soon found myself groping in the dark, distressed, half-unconscious before grim prospects
The first recording starts finally.
