[Ensho] It's been a while since we had a drink together.
[Enya] Thanks for treating me.
[Ensho] I've noticed...
you've been giving Oze too much attention.
Uh, yeah.
I wouldn't say that's true.
You sure?
[grill sizzling]
Well, regardless,
I want you to put more weight on Enku's keiko.
[Enku breathing heavily]
He joined our stable wanting to be like you.
He'll do hours of shiko just because you tell him to.
Even if he pisses himself.
You come off
as a bit cold towards him.
[Enku breathes deeply]
[Enya] Now is the time
for him to quit chasing me
and to come up with his own sumo.
I see.
[pensive music playing]
- Mmm, good. - [indistinct chatter]
- Good! - [man 1] It's really good.
Twenty tuna, please.
Yes, sir.
Are you sure? It's expensive here, you know.
Ugh, don't worry about it.
[Nanami chuckles]
It's expensive, but the taste is average.
[chuckles] Huh? Really?
You can tell by this if it's good or not.
[pensive music continues]
[Nanami] You sure know a lot.
Do you know a place with good pickled ginger?
I do.
The whole place was delicious.
Really? Where is it?
[Enno sighs]
The restaurant...
is no longer around.
[Enno gulps]
