| Rento | Pleased to be working with you today. |
| Izumi | Same here. |
| Misumi | I’ll be in your care, woof~! |
| Kumon | I’ll be in your care, woof woof! |
| Rento | Looks like I’ve found more cute puppies~. |
| Because I’ve got a great audio source with me, I’m gonna make sure their barking will perfectly match your roles! |
| Yuki | Oh, you’re referring to that, right? |
| |
| *Flashback starts* |
| Yuki | Hey. Can you use this sound for the play? |
| Rento | Sound? |
| Koro | “Woof woof woof!” |
| Rento | Heh. Nice one. |
| Yuki | Is it possible? |
| Rento | Why not? It’s a real doggie sound, after all. But you’re gonna lose if you don’t do your best in that part, y'kno! |
| Yuki | Do you know who you’re talking to now? |
| *Flashback end* |
| |
| Rento | In any case, leave the sound effects to me. |
| Izumi | (He’s gotten used to the job so I find it easier to cooperate with him now. He’s a reliable fellow.) |
| Kazunari | Alrighty! Let’s form a circle now! |
| Yuki | Are we really doing that? |
| Kazunari | We’re dogges after all! |
| Yuki | Fine. Just like the Summer Troupe–Summer Troupe, let’s go doggos! |
| Misumi | Let’s go doggos! |
| Kumon | Let’s go doggos! |
| Muku | L-Let’s go doggos! |
| Tenma | Let’s go doggos… |
| |
 |
| Koro | “Rick! Going on a stroll is so much fun, right!” |
| Rick | “Koro, to tell you the truth, I’m going to get married soon.” |
| “My partner also owns a dog, you see. Since we’re going to live together, you have to get along with her dog, alright? Oh, look. They’re here.” |
| Sharon | “Hello, Koro-kun. Nice to meet you.” |
| Maru | “Hello, I’m Maru! Nice to meet you! Let’s be friends!” |
| Koro | “Whoa?!” |
| Sharon | “Hey, Maru! Don’t get too excited! You’re just going to bother Koro-kun that way!” |
| Rick | “Hahaha. Koro is quite timid.” |
| Koro | “The heck is wrong with you?! Keep your distance!” |
| Maru | “This much is nothing, right! We’re going to be brothers, anyway!” |
| Koro | “Get away from me! Do you think I want to get along with you? Hell no!” |
| Maru | “Don’t be like that. Let’s play together!” |
| “Should we play-fight? Or chase? I’m fine with hole digging too!” |
| Koro | “What’s hole digging?” |
| Maru | “Basically, we’re digging a hole with all our might!” |
| Koro | “No way I’m doing that! Why did Rick decide to get married, anyway!” |
| Rick | “It’s okay, Koro. You’ll get used to it.” |
| Koro | “No! I don’t want to live with other people!” |
| Izumi | (Both of them are so full of energy. They do seem like cute puppies!) |
| |
 |
| Rick | “Are you alright, Koro? Did you get tired from playing with Maru?” |
| Koro | “…What play? He just chased me around. If I live with someone like that, I’m only going to get sick from stress.” |
| Rick | “Hm? Weird… I’m sure I put my engagement ring here. Where is it?” |
| Koro | “What’s wrong?” |
| Rick | “No way. Did I drop it? Oh no… It’s such an important thing and yet…” |
| Koro | “Engagement ring…? Is it really that important?” |
| Rick | “Koro, are you trying to cheer me up? Thank you.” |
| “But this is bad… What should I do? Let’s call Sharon for now.” |
| Koro | “Cheer up. I’m going to go look for it.” |
| Rick | “Hey, Sharon…? Yeah…” |
| |
| Koro | “I can’t smell anything more from here…” |
| Maru | “Sniffs, sniffs. Is it around here~?” |
| Koro | “Oh! You're…” |
| Maru | “Oh! Koro! What are you doing here?” |
| Koro | “It’s none of your business.” |
| Maru | “Do you happen to see a wing around here? It’s an important wing. I think it’s dropped around here.” |
| Koro | “Wing? There’s no way I saw such a thing here.” |
| Maru | “Oh no… Apparently, that wing is important to both Sharon and Rick.” |
| Koro | “Do you mean, engagement ring?” |
| Maru | “That’s right! Engagement wing! Are you looking for that too? Let’s search for it together!” |
| Koro | “…Listen, we’re only together to find the ring. Don’t you dare act more familiar than–.” |
| Maru | “Whoa… Thank God! I get a little bit anxious doing it alone! It’s a relief to have you here!” |
| “I have a feeling we can find the ring if we do it together! Huh, what did you just say, Koro?” |
| Koro | “Shut up! Stop talking and start searching already!” |
| Muku | “Okay!” |
| Rio | “Hey, Koro, what are you doing here alone?” |
| Chacha | “Going on a stroll? Is that kid your friend?” |
| Maru | “Hello! I’m Maru! Kuro and I will be brothers soon!” |
| Rio | “Brothers?” |
| Koro | “We’re not! Enough of that. Rio, Chacha, you often go on a walk in this course, right? Do you happen to find a ring around here?” |
| Rio | “A ring?” |
| Female | “KYAA! A THIEF!!!” |
| Maru | “Huh? Huh? What’s happening?” |
| Gangster | “Move!” |
| Chacha | “Arf!” |
| Rio | “Chacha! You okay?!” |
| Koro | “That smell just now… Hey, I’m gonna chase after that guy!” |
| Maru | “What? Hey, wait for me~!” |
| Rio | “I’m going with you! Wait here, Chacha!” |
| Chacha | “Yip…” |
| |
| Koro | “Woof woof woof!” |
| Gangster | “What the heck is this dog’s problem?!” |
| Rio | “What did you do to Chacha, you thief?!” |
| Maru | “I don’t really know what’s going on, but you can’t do bad things!” |
| Koro | “You have the ring, don’t you?! Show it!” |
| Rio | “You stole that bag, didn’t you?! Give it back! Bark bark!” |
| Gangster | “Tch.” |
| *starts engine* |
| Koro | “Hey, wait!” |
| Maru | “Koro, he’s riding a bike. You can’t catch up to him.” |
| Koro | “Damn… I can smell the ring’s scent from him!” |
| Female | “Oh! My bag! Did you guys take it back for me?” |
| Rio | “It’s my job to protect the townspeople!” |
| Female | “Thank you.” |
| Maru | “Are you a police officer, Rio?” |
| Koro | “His owner is one.” |
| Chacha | “Rio~ Are you okay~?” |
| Rio | “The thief escaped, but we managed to take back the stolen bag.” |
| “How about you, Chacha? How are you feeling now?” |
| Chacha | “I’m fine! I just tripped a little bit, after all.” |
| Maru | “That’s great.” |
| Koro | “We were so close…” |
| Rio | “Hey, Koro, what do you mean by, ‘That guy has the ring,’?” |
| Koro | “Rick’s engagement ring is stolen.” |
| “Rick told me he dropped it somewhere, but I have no doubt that guy stole it. The smell can’t lie!” |
| Rio | “I see, so he committed another crime. We should chase after him, then.” |
| Maru | “Are you going to help us?!” |
| Chacha | “Of course! It’s our job to protect the townspeople!” |
| Rio | “Yeah. Okay, enough chit chat. We should go and gather info right away–.” |
| Jack | “Hey! Rio! Chacha! I’ve told you not to exit the park!” |
| Chacha | “Yip…” |
| Rio | “No, wait, Jack, we’re just protecting pe–.” |
| Jack | “C'mon, we’re going home now.” |
| Chacha | “Huh~What~.” |
| Rio | “My bad! We have to investigate it ourselves now! I’ll leave the search to you guys!” |
| Maru | “I’m counting on you~!” |
| Koro | “…This is bad. We can’t pursue him anymore the farther we are from the ring.” |
| Maru | “Oh! I remember that guy’s smell! Over here!” |
| Koro | “Heh, you’re surprisingly useful.” |
| |
| Izumi | (Their interaction is very Summer Troupe-like, and the characters are really cute. Not only Muku-kun and Yuki-kun, but the others are also in sync.) |
| Rento | (The dogs’ barking sound fits perfectly!) |
| |
 |
| Maru | “He should be around here…” |
| Koro | “Huh? That’s his bike!” |
| Maru | “You remember that?!” |
| Koro | “It hasn’t been that long since we saw it, duh.” |
| Maru | “Everything that humans ride looks the same to me.” |
| Koro | “I’ll take back my words…” |
| Maru | “'Take back my forks?’” |
| Koro | “Forget it. Anyway, that’s him. He entered that building.” |
| Maru | “Koro, wait for me!” |
| Gangster | “This is today’s lot.” |
| Mafia | “Is this all you got?” |
| Gangster | “My apologies. I ran into some troubles.” |
| Maru | “That ring!” |
| Koro | “Hold on! He’s not alone.” |
| Maru | “But the ring is right in front of us.” |
| Koro | “Let’s wait until the others are gone.” |
| Maru | “I see!” |
| Koro | “Sssh! You’re being noisy.” |
| Guard Dog | “Grrrr… Who are y'all?” |
| Maru | “Whoa?!” |
| Guard Dog | “Woof woof woof!” |
| Mafia | “What is it?” |
| Koro | “I don’t know they have a guard dog! Let’s run away!” |
| Gangster | “Looks like some stray dogs accidentally got here.” |
| |
| Guard Dog | “Stop right there! You broke into our territory! I’m going to tear you limb from limb!” |
| Maru | “Eeeek!” |
| Koro | “Quick!” |
| Ray | “Hey. Over here.” |
| Koro | “?!” |
| Ruy | “Don’t ask anything and just hide here.” |
| Guard Dog | “Tch. I lost sight of them. Don’t fool around with me.” |
| |
 |
| Maru | “That was so scary~!!” |
| Ruy | “Are you alright?” |
| Ray | “What did you do to make him chase after you like that?” |
| Koro | “You are…?” |
| Ruy | “My name is Ruy.” |
| Ray | “I’m Ray. We’re pretty much the mascots of this bar.” |
| Koro | “I’m Koro, and this one is Maru. Our owners’ engagement ring is stolen, you see.” |
| Ray | “Oh. His owner is a mafia, you know.” |
| Maru | “We want to take back the ring!” |
| Ray | “Hey, dude, have you seen his fangs? He can eat you up in a single bite!” |
| Koro | “Do you have any idea how we can sneak in without being noticed by him?” |
| Ray | “Are you serious now?” |
| Koro | “It’s an important ring, after all.” |
| Ruy | “Let’s help them out, Ruy.” |
| Ray | “Sighs, You’ve got a lot of guts. Goodness.” |
| Maru | “Will you help us?!” |
| Ruy | “I’ll tell you where their back door is. Once you open it, make sure to get in without him noticing. Be extra careful.” |
| Koro | “Got it. Thanks.” |
| |
| Mafia | “Don’t mess up our plan.” |
| Gangster | “Understood.” |
| Mafia | “Put your catch today in the safe. Together with tomorrow’s loot, we’re gonna hand them all to the agent and sell them.” |
| Koro | “This is bad. We can’t get the ring back if it gets sold.” |
| Maru | “That means we have to take it now while we can!” |
| Guard Dog | “…Hm? It stinks for some reason. Is it coming from there?” |
| Koro | “Uh oh… Let’s escape now.” |
| Maru | “But the ring…” |
| |
| Koro | “The ring will be handed to the agent tomorrow, so now we’ve gotta think of a plan to take it back.” |
| Maru | “I see! So that’s how it is! As expected of Koro! I never thought about such a thing at all! I feel relieved to leave this to Koro!” |
| Koro | “You’re too simple.” |
| Maru | “You’re really awesome, Koro. I’m sure we can get the ring back!” |
| Koro | “Let’s go back home for now and meet up tomorrow morning…” |
| Maru | “Oh! It’s Sharon! Heeey!! I’m here!” |
| Koro | “There’s Rick too! I guess they’re on a date, huh. Perfect timing. Let’s go home together!” |
| Maru | “Hmm? They didn’t notice us.” |
| Koro | “…They’re in their own world. Rick is no longer…” |
| Maru | “See you tomorrow, Koro… Huh? Koro?” |
| |
| Koro | “Sharon is Rick’s No. 1 now. He doesn’t care about me anymore.” |
| “I’ve always been Rick’s best friend, but now… I don’t care what happened to the ring now.” |
| “Oh. If the ring is gone, maybe they will cancel their wedding. In that case…” |
| *door opens* |
| Rick | “Koro, I’m home. Sorry, I’m late.” |
| “What’s wrong, Koro? Are you sick or something? You seem down.” |
| “Eat this. I’m going to play a lot with you on the weekend. Good night.” |
| Koro | “…” |
| |
| Maru | “Morning, Koro! Let’s take the ring back!” |
| Koro | “Not going.” |
| Maru | “What?” |
| Koro | “They may cancel the wedding if the ring’s gone, after all.” |
| “If that happens, you can continue living alone with Sharon. That’s better for both of us, right?” |
| Maru | “Did you really mean that? I can’t let Sharon be sad! Come on, let’s take the ring back!” |
| Koro | “I don’t care about the ring.” |
| Maru | “…I don’t get you, Koro! Fine. I’ll take it back alone!” |
| Koro | “…” |
| |
| Rick | “Do you want to live with me?” |
| “Alright. I’ll name you Koro, then! Nice to meet you, Koro!” |
| |
| Rick | “Koro, are you okay?! I’ll take you to the hospital! You’ll be fine! Don’t worry!” |
| |
| Koro | “There’s no way he can take it back alone.” |
| “He won’t go to a mafia’s hideout by himself, right…” |
| “But given his simple, one-track minded way of thinking, that’s possible.” |
| |
| Maru | “You’re really awesome, Koro. I’m sure we can get the ring back!” |
| |
| Koro | “…Aaaah! Geez!” |
| |
| Maru | “Yeep!” |
| Guard Dog | “Grrr… so you tried to sneak in again, you cheeky bastard! I’m going to make you regret doing it so you won’t come here ever again!” |
| Maru | “Eeeeek! I-I’m not afraid of you! I know Koro will be here soon!” |
| Guard Dog | “Heh?” |
| Maru | “He-He'll… He’ll be here… Right?” |
| “Aaargh, Koro! Help me!” |
| Guard Dog | “What’s that? The trash can?” |
| Koro | “Maru! Over here!” |
| Maru | “Koro!” |
| Koro | “Let’s run away now!” |
| |
| Koro | “Huff… Huff… I think we’re fine now.” |
| Maru | “Whoaaaaa!! That was so scary!!” |
| Koro | “That’s because you dared to go alone.” |
| Maru | “But I know you’d come!” |
| Koro | “But why…” |
| Maru | “Because you’re a good guy, Koro! I know you’ll take the ring back for Rick’s sake!” |
| Koro | “What are you going to do if I don’t come? You’d die.” |
| Maru | “Hehe. I didn’t think of that.” |
| Koro | “Goodness…” |
| Chacha | “Heeey! Koro! Maru!” |
| Rio | “We know who the ring thief is!” |
| “We heard he’s an underling of a mafia who keeps robbing luxury jewelry stores.” |
| Maru | “By mafia, you mean…” |
| Koro | “The guy in that hideout, for sure.” |
| Rio | “You’ve gone to their hideout?! Excellent!” |
| Koro | “I heard them talk about a plan yesterday. I figured they’re going to rob another jewelry store today…” |
| Rio | “It must be Chiffany, then.” |
| “That’s the only store around here that they haven’t gone to.” |
| Maru | “When I went to their hideout just now, their guard dog was the only one there. I couldn’t find the box with the ring inside nor the car. Don’t tell me…” |
| Chacha | “We’ve gotta let Jack know about this now!” |
| Maru | “Jack?” |
| Rio | “Our owner!” |
| Chacha | “Bad news, Jack! The mafia will rob Chiffany today!” |
| Rio | “Let’s head to Chiffany and stop the mafia now!” |
| Jack | “What is it? Did you make new friends? Great for you.” |
| Chacha | “That’s not it! I told you it’s bad news!” |
| Jack | “Your leash will get entangled if you keep spinning around like that. Hold on. I’ll release it…” |
| Maru | “This is bad. He doesn’t get it at all!” |
| Koro | “Let’s just go by ourselves!” |
| Rio | “I’m going with you!” |
| Chacha | “Oh! Me too!” |
| Jack | “Hey! Rio! Chacha! Stop right there!” |
| |
| Maru | “Where is Chiffany again?” |
| Chacha | “I know where it is! There’s one before the animal hospital!” |
| Koro | “Let’s be quick!” |
| Guard Dog | “Grrr… I finally found you. How dare you put me in so much trouble.” |
| Maru | “Eeek!” |
| Koro | “To think you chase us all the way here… So persistent.” |
| Rio | “Who’s he?” |
| Maru | “The mafia’s guard dog.” |
| Chacha | “That means he’s a bad guy!” |
| Guard Dog | “The heck is wrong with y'all? So troublesome. I’ll just beat y'all up right here right now!” |
| Rio | “Koro, Maru, just leave us here. We’ll deal with this guy.” |
| Chacha | “Hey, hey Mr. Satan! We’re here! Can you catch us~?” |
| Guard Dog | “Stop looking down on me! Just you wait…” |
| Koro | “Rio, Chacha! Be careful!” |
| Maru | “Thank you!” |
| |
| Rio | “Huff… Huff…” |
| Chacha | “Oh no! We hit a deadend!” |
| Guard Dog | “You think I’m a fool, hah?! I’m gonna eat you up!” |
| Ray | “Is this some kind of a new trend or what? Testing your courage with a guard dog.” |
| Ruy | “Everyone sure is brave~.” |
| Guard Dog | “Do you want to interrupt me or what?!” |
| Ray | “We can’t let the back of our store get dirty.” |
| Ruy | “Come on! Hide here.” |
| Guard Dog | “Hey, wait!” |
| Rio | “Thanks for helping us.” |
| Ray | “I’m sure he’ll give up if you stay here for a while.” |
| Chacha | “But we have to help Koro and Maru!” |
| Ruy | “Koro and Maru? What’s with them?” |
| Rio | “Do you know them? They’re going to a mafia place to take back a ring.” |
| Ray | “So they still haven’t given up on that?” |
| “Oh, well. I guess we have no choice, then. We’re past the point of no return at this rate. Let us join you.” |
| Rio | “Thank you!” |
| Izumi | (Misumi-kun and Kazunari-kun’s brothers pair has such a strong presence.) |
| |
| Koro | “Looks like the mafia isn’t here yet.” |
| Maru | “Is this really the right store?” |
| Koro | “Should we head in for now? I think no one will notice now.” |
| Maru | “I don’t see anything strange now. Is the mafia going to…” |
| Female Customer | “Kyaaa!” |
| Male Customer | “What’s that?!” |
| Maru | “They’re here!” |
| Koro | “Let’s hide below the car! Once they get out of the car, we’ll get in and take back the ring!” |
| Mafia | “Don’t move! And you, put all the jewelry in this bag!” |
| Store Clerk | “Ye-Yes.” |
| Mafia | “I’ll shoot if you try to do anything funny!” |
| Koro | “Now. I’m sure the box with the ring must be inside…” |
| Maru | “Found it!” |
| Koro | “How about the ring?” |
| Maru | “It’s here!” |
| Koro | “Nice. Now, all we need to do is to leave quietly…” |
| Female Customer | “Why is this happening…?” |
| Male Customer | “We’ll be fine. We’ll be fine.” |
| Gangster | “Stop talking!” |
| Female Customer | “Eep.” |
| Koro | “Those two…” |
| Maru | “What’s wrong?” |
| Koro | “I bet they’re here to buy engagement rings.” |
| |
| Rick | “Koro, to tell you the truth, I’m going to get married soon.” |
| |
| Koro | “–.” |
| Maru | “Koro?! Where are you going?!” |
| Koro | “Bring the ring to Sharon, Maru!” |
| Maru | “Koro!!” |
| |
 |
| Koro | “Woof woof woof!” |
| Gangster | “What’s with this dog?!” |
| Mafia | “Kick him out now!” |
| Gangster | “You’re in the way! Move!” |
| Koro | “…nngh.” |
| Maru | “Koro?!” |
| Koro | “Maru?! I’ve told you to run away…” |
| Gangster | “Whoa?! Why is the car?!” |
| Mafia | “This is bad! Hey, go take a look at the car!” |
| Gangster | “I can’t believe there’s also a dog here!” |
| Maru | “Yeep.” |
| Koro | “Oh no. If this goes on…” |
| Chacha | “Koro! Maru! Are you okay?!” |
| Rio | “Enough, Mafia! Stay where you are!” |
| Ray | “Backup is here!” |
| Ruy | “We’re going to catch you in style~!” |
| Maru | “Even Ruy and Ray?!” |
| Gangster | “Whoa?! Stop it!” |
| Store Clerk | “O-Okay, I’m going to call the police while I can now…” |
| Chacha | “We won’t forgive bad guys!” |
| Rio | “It’s our job to protect the townspeople!” |
| Ray | “Woof!” |
| Gangster | “Ouch ouch ouch! Don’t bite me!” |
| Mafia | “Shit! Get away from me!” |
| *police sirene* |
| Gangster | “Po-Police…?!” |
| Mafia | “Tch. Let’s run away!” |
| Jack | “Police! Stay where you are!” |
| Mafia | “Shit! How could we get caught here…” |
| Gangster | “Why did dogs mess up our plan…” |
| Jack | “Nice job, Rio, Chacha. But you’re not allowed to run away like that again.” |
| Chacha | “Ehehe!” |
| Rio | “But it’s our job to protect the townspeople, Jack.” |
| Jack | “Your friends are really brave. We’re going to give them awards.” |
| Maru | “Yeaaay! Isn’t that awesome, Koro?!” |
| Koro | “I don’t really care about that, though.” |
| Ray | “Guess we should go home now.” |
| Ruy | “It’s time to open the store~.” |
| Koro | “Ray. Ruy. Thanks for helping us.” |
| Ray | “No problem. It was pretty fun.” |
| Ruy | “Come visit our bar again!” |
| Koro | “We should give back this ring.” |
| Maru | “Yep!” |
| |
| Koro | “Huft… So tired. I’m going to put the ring on the table and tell Rick later…” |
| Maru | “I’m sure Sharon will be happy… zzz…” |
| Koro | “Hey! Sleep at your own home!” |
| Maru | “Zzzz…” |
| Koro | “Oh, well…. I’ll let you sleep next to me.” |
| “He helped me take back the ring, after all.” |
| Maru | “Zzz.” |
| Koro | “Move! You’re getting too carried away!” |
| Maru | “Hehehe, we’re brothers…zzz.” |
| Koro | “Oh God… Guess I’ll be having a hard time with this clumsy brother…zzz…” |
| |
| Rick | “I’m home. Koro, Sharon is here… Huh?” |
| Sharon | “Why is Maru sleeping here?!” |
| Rick | “Sharon! Look! The ring…” |
| |
| Yuki | Thanks for watching, woof! |
| Muku | Thank you very much, woof! |
| Misumi | Woof woof! |
| Kazunari | Woofie! |
| Tenma | Thank you very much! Woof! |
| Kumon | Hahaha! Tenma-san, you’re desperate~! |
