hi!!! im megan, this is my sideblog dedicated to posting content relating to Toxic-a-Holic!!
i started just doing translations for myself, but recently decided i wanted to share them so that more people could get into and enjoy it!!
please keep in mind that i am not an actual translator so there may be mistakes and stuff but i've really tried my best to keep everything as accurate as possible!! please excuse my horrible syntax. im also riddled with adhd so please forgive any typos and such ;_;
disclaimer: i am using machine translation, research, and some of my own knowledge. ocr is used to lift text off of images.
this is all for funsies, new translations will drop whenever i'm able to get them done :3
with regards to the translations, i recommend watching the pr videos in chronological order, and reading the translations alongside the video; the voice acting is great and i wouldn't want anyone to miss out on the additional context it provides :)
*NOTE* i will use the hashtag tkhl spoilers so please blacklist that until you are up to date <3

What is Toxic-a-Holic?
"A group of intelligent lifeforms called "Toxients" (commonly known as "toxic guys"), who possess "poison" harmful to humanity, are the only ones who can oppose the mysterious enemy "Void" that threatens humanity.
These toxic guys are managed by a special agency established to fight the void. In an effort to improve their image as a group living between harmful and beneficial life, the head of the Tokyo Branch began filming a public relations (PR) videos.
The videos also serve as a recruitment ad for the Tokyo Branch, but with a gathering of toxic guys, each with their own quirks, things don't go so peacefully.
"Don't trust the toxic guys. They're all murderers and harmful beings."
A mixed media project with the theme of 'Poison x Mystery' has begun!"

[The Branch Chief's Weight Revealed!] Is it the Branch Chief? Or a substitute? Which is it?!!
This time, we tried a quiz proposed by Chain: "Is it the Branch Chief? Or a substitute? Which is it?!" We encourage you all to join us and see how many questions you can answer correctly!
※ To prevent our location from being identified, the background will be blurred! (Branch Chief)
Branch Chief: The Complete Anatomy of a Toxic Guy! This time too, we'll be bringing you a glimpse into our daily lives as we live happily and healthily!
Cyan: ...I'm starting to wonder why we even started making these videos.
Branch Chief: It's a survival report for all the chuu-dokus, of course!]
Cyan: If it's just to report that you're alive, there's no need to go to the trouble of filming a video-
Branch Chief: Even though you say that, you still look forward to making videos, don't you?
Cyan: What? That's a false accusation.
Branch Chief: Okay, okay, tsundere, tsundere.
Cyan: Annoying... Oi! An! This is your fault, since you said something unnecessary, he's regained his energy.
An: I'm sorry. I don't really remember, but I guess I said something?
Dion: Well, it's a rule to just forget everything you said while drunk.
Chain: The culprit is saying something!
Dion: You were drinking too!
Chain: I was just drinking with you out of obligation.
Dion: "I was drinking for your sake," you say? That's quite a condescending attitude.
Chain: So, Dion, I don't have to drink with you anymore?
Dion: ...I didn't say that.
Ergot: Come on, stop with the lovers' quarrel already.
Hemlock: You two are equally guilty. Letting An drink alcohol is absolutely unacceptable.
Dion: No, that was...
Supporter: You both look awkward every time we bring up the topic, don't you have any counterarguments?
Dion: It was just a little joke...
Hemlock: You think this is just a joke? Because of you two, An was in a terrible state!
Branch Chief: Right, it was really hard to calm him down after that.
An: I'm really sorry...
Branch Chief: No, it's okay, you're not at fault. I was just a little surprised at how your personality becomes when you've had a drink...
Dion: See, it was just meant as a joke. I didn't put any alcohol in An's drink.
What?
Chain: It's true. I handed it to him pretending it was alcohol, but it was just non-alcoholic juice.
Branch Chief: Wait, so that...was An without any alcohol...?
Supporter: ...Let's not delve any deeper into that.
Hemlock: There's something called the placebo effect, you know.
C.B.: So, Branch Chief~, what are we doing today~?
Branch Chief: Today's project is a suggestion from Chain.
Chain: I haven't really had much presence in the videos lately, so I thought I should contribute.
Supporter: As always, you're unnecessarily strict when it comes to videos...
Chain: So, this time's project is "Is this the Branch Chief? Or a substitute? Which is it?! SHOW!"
Cyan: Not interested.
Chain: You say that, but none of you realised it when the Branch Chief was a substitute, right? What will you do if something similar happens again and you get tricked by a fake?
Hemlock: Such an irregular event will probably never happen again. Besides, if the person was literally replaced by a substitute, would you even call that a "substitute"?
Chain: Let's not nit-pick! The Agency might have one or two clones of the Branch Chief and they could sic them on us in the future, for all we know!
Ergot: That's certainly a situation we must prevent...the Agency is a group that would do anything; it wouldn't be surprising if they had clones of all of us hidden there.
Hemlock: It's better if you, who appears to be in the know, doesn't say something like that with a straight face, Ergot. It will confuse everyone.
Branch Chief: *panicking*
Hemlock: See, the Branch Chief is clearly panicking.
Ergot: I'm sorry... Since this is Chain's project, I thought we could start messing around...
Chain: That's fine, Ergot, go ahead and mess around as much as you want!
Ergot: Hearing you say that makes me want to let loose!
Dion: ...These two make a surprisingly good team, don't they?
Hemlock: Isn't it a bit complicated?
Dion: No, not really.
Chain: Okay, we're not getting anywhere so let me explain. Today's plan is to learn some obscure, little-known facts about the Branch Chief through a quick-answer quiz, so that you'll be able to spot any imposters of him in the future! Let's get started with question number one!
The Branch Chief's favourite food-
C.B.: Yes! Sweets!
Chain: ...isn't it.
C.B.: Damn! It was a trick!!
Cyan: If you're talking about little-known facts, then it can't be sweets, right?
Chain: Q. Of all the sweets that the Branch Chief makes, what does he consider his specialty?
C.B.: Yes! Yes yes yeees!
Chain: Wow! C.B. is motivated!
C.B.: Mizu-yokan! The mizu-yokan made by the Branch Chief is amazing!
Chain: Let's have the Branch Chief himself answer the question. Branch Chief, that's...
Branch Chief: Incorrect!
C.B.: Whyyyy!
Branch Chief: I do make mizu-yokan, but I only do that because C.B. likes it; it's not like I'm particularly good at it...
Chain: What about everyone else?
...
Branch Chief: Aren't you guys thinking too much? We're only on the first question.
Supporter: Well, um...
An: All the sweets the Branch Chief makes are delicious, so I can't tell which one he's best at...
Ergot: I surrender.
Chain: Okay, so there are no answers this time. Please give us the correct answer.
Branch Chief: The correct answer is...Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte!
Dion: Yes? What?
Branch Chief: I won't say it twice!
Cyan: You just don't want to say it again because you'll stumble over it.
An: Schwa...wäl... I couldn't hear the rest...
Hemlock: Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, it's the name of a German cake. But that's strange, I've never seen this cake since joining the Tokyo Branch.
Branch Chief: I haven't had the opportunity to make it because it's difficult to get my hands on a large quantity of dark cherries, and it takes a while.
Dion: ...Obviously, if you claim to be good at something we've never eaten before, no one can guess the answer.
Cyan: He definitely chose it just because the name sounded good, and he just wanted to show off, no doubt.
Branch Chief: Th-th-th, that's wrong!
Chain: Let's get back to it with question number two! Q. What is the Branch Chief's height and weight?
Supporter: This is easy. His height is 175cm and his weight is 62kg.
Chain: The correct answer is...let's have him measure it for us!
Branch Chief: Uh, no way... I have a right to privacy too...
Cyan: It's fine, it's not like anything's diminished.
Branch Chief: It diminishes my dignity!
Chain: Come on, quickly, you're getting in the way of progress.
Branch Chief: I have no choice...
Chain: Your height is 175cm...and your weight is 64.5kg!
Branch Chief: Wait, no way. I've gained over 2kg!
Supporter: Damn, I never expected such a trick...!
Chain: I didn't mean for it to be a trick question, though.
Supporter: That was his weight when I forced him to weigh himself a week ago! How could it have increased in just one week?!
Dion: Anyway, why would a subordinate be measuring their boss's weight?
Supporter: It's for health management, of course. As his assistant, I keep track of his condition, since he tends to neglect himself. What's wrong with that?
Branch Chief: I'm honestly shocked that I've gained over 2kg...
C.B.: Well, I guess it can't be helped, right? We're trying not to go out much, so we can't exercise, and if we just keep eating, of course we're going to gain weight.
An: Branch Chief, how about we do some indoor exercises together? Even just stretching might be effective.
Supporter: Well, even though you've gained 2kg, you're still below average weight, so there's no need to get hung up on the numbers. If anything, you were probably too thin before.
Branch Chief: By the way, what's your weight, Supporter-kun?
Supporter: Asking someone's weight in public is a violation of their privacy.
Branch Chief: That's what I said earlier...
Chain: Now, let's get to question 3.
Q. What are the non-negotiable conditions for the Branch Chief when choosing a hideout?
Cyan: Some place that's safe and won't get found out by the authorities, right?
C.B.: That's more of a prerequisite than a condition. Honestly...Cyan doesn't understand quizzes.
Cyan: I don't want to hear that from the guy who buzzed in wrong earlier.
An: ...
Cyan: W-what is it, An?
C.B.: Don't worry, we won't fight!
Hemlock: Since then, Cyan and C.B. have stopped having their pointless fights.
Ergot: An's eyes were so fixed and scary back then, weren't they?
Hemlock: I never imagined that his lecture to Cyan and C.B. would resume after we finished filming the video.
Dion: I really didn't hand over any alcohol; please believe me, Chain and I are innocent!
Supporter: So let's stop digging into that topic. I'm afraid it'll just stir up trouble if we keep going... Um, his specific conditions are things like whether the kitchen is spacious or not, right?
Cyan: No, that's way too irrelevant.
Branch Chief: Supporter-kun, so close!
Cyan: Close!?
Branch Chief: The correct answer was whether or not there's a kitchen, despite whether it's spacious or not!
Cyan: That's the easiest thing to compromise on!
Branch Chief: What are you talking about? Food is important, you know?
Chain: If Cyan's thinking is simply that all that matters is getting enough nutrients, it might have been difficult to arrive at the answer.
Branch Chief: Food nourishes not only the body but also the soul. It's not enough to just get the minimum necessary nutrients; it's important to enjoy it with your eyes and your taste buds as well.
Supporter: By the way, the next potential hiding place doesn't have a kitchen, unfortunately, so keep that in mind.
Dion & Branch Chief: Oh...
Supporter: Not just the Branch Chief, but Dion too?
Dion: Well, snacks to go with alcohol are important, right?
Supporter: You guys are really tense, aren't you?
Chain: Then, I think it's about time for the last question. Now for the final question!
Q. What is the biggest regret the Branch Chief left behind at the Agency?
Supporter: That's a tough one...
Hemlock: There are too many possibilities, so it's hard to narrow it down.
Ergot: That's right. The Branch Chief has spent most of his life at the Agency...it's not an exaggeration to say he's left everything behind. And of course, that includes Supporter-san as well.
C.B.: Did you leave a huge amount of money in a safe, or something?
Branch Chief: Bzzt, wrong answer.
C.B.: Whaat, really? *stare*
Branch Chief: What's with that look in your eyes?
C.B.: You always act like you're broke, but since you have to clean up our messes, you must have plenty of money left over. Even if you don't get overtime pay, you must get special allowances for fighting the Void, right?
So, you've probably already saved enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life. With your abilities, you could even use that as capital to make even more money.
Branch Chief: I think you're overestimating my abilities...
C.B.: I tried to find out you were spending your money on during that time, but I never found out...
An: C.B., that's what you were doing...
C.B.: Well, I had an obligation to report to my boss. So, where is the hidden treasure? I could sneak into the Agency and get it for you!
An: That's too dangerous!
C.B.: It's for the Branch Chief's sake!
An: C.B., your eyes have turned into money symbols.
C.B.: Oops, I can't, I can't.
Branch Chief: I'm sorry, but I already moved all my money out of the country a long time ago, so there's no more of my assets left in the Agency.
C.B.: Oh, really? Disappointing...
Chain: C.B. seems to have been blinded by money, but he should have realised with a little thought where the funds that allow us to live such a comfortable life on the run are coming from.
C.B.: Isn't it okay to dream a little?
Hemlock: Let me answer that. Don't you have regrets about the vast amount of research you've left behind?
Branch Chief: I've outsourced that as well, so I'd like to resume the research once there's a system in place.
Hemlock: ...Did you just say something incredible so casually?
Supporter: The research information is protected by multiple layers of security and can't be easily leaked...but perhaps it would be possible with enough work to pull off a swap.
Hemlock: I never intended to underestimate the Branch Chief, but I didn't expect him to go so far. Indeed, the Branch Chief is a man who will change history, a man who will shape an era.
Branch Chief: What?
Ergot: This is a theory that both I and Hemlock hold; that in every era, at least a few exceptional individuals emerge who become major turning points in history. A good example would be Albert Einstein, who discovered and proposed the theory of relativity.
Branch Chief: It's an honour, but being compared to people like that is kind of a heavy burden...
Hemlock: To say that world peace rests on your shoulders is by no means an exaggeration.
Dion: It's turned into a epic story us ordinary people can't keep up with...
Chain: That's a special hint, extra-large from Dion!
Dion: Oh, what is it?
Chain: The Branch Chief's only regret...is related to Dion.
Dion: That's...
Chain: I think I've practically given away the answer. Well, anyway, Dion, please give us the answer.
Dion: You don't mean Ethyl, right?
Dion: You don't mean Ethyl, right?
Chain: Correct!
Dion: ...Well, of course I've been worried about Ethyl ever since I left the Agency. But-but I kept telling myself that there's nothing I can do about it now...
Chain: So that's why you've been drinking so much. It's actually quite difficult to get alcohol in this situation, you know? You should be grateful to me.
Dion: You betrayed me, and you're the one who said you'd get me some alcohol to make amends, right?
Chain: That's true, but I wish he'd go easy on me a little, or rather, because of him, all my savings are about to become Dion's alcohol.
Branch Chief: I have a lot of unfinished business left at the Agency, but the most important one is Ethyl. Your younger brother. I'm responsible for separating you and your brother.
Dion: When you put it that way… I can't really deny it, but it's not like it's entirely your responsibility...
Branch Chief: I've stopped putting all the responsibility on myself. An got angry at me last time, and I decided to stop thinking that way.
So, I want us all to share the responsibility for Ethyl...at least that's what I think, but what about everyone else?
Hemlock: I have no objections.
Ergot: Of course. I am the one who should bear the burden of leaving that child alone in such a lonely place.
C.B.: I don't really understand crime or responsibility, but Dion's younger brother sounds fun, right? So I want to help him and play with him, right, An?
An: Dion's happiness is my happiness, and Dion's sadness is my sadness. So, I'll do anything to make Dion happy, because I think that's what being friends is all about.
Cyan: ...Have I ever refused to take on responsibilities? Even if it's an order or a mission, I'll take it on.
Supporter: It goes without saying, but I left the Agency with the resolve to share the same fate as the members here. Therefore, it's only natural that I bear responsibility for Ethyl.
Dion: You guys...
Supporter: But why now, at this particular time?
Hemlock: Has any plan for rescue been found?
Branch Chief: No, we have to be cautious; I know better than anyone how tightly guarded the headquarters is. However, I've confirmed Ethyl's safety. It seems that no special measures have been taken even after our defection.
Dion: R-really?!
Branch Chief: There are currently no moves to take anyone hostage; I can say this with certainty because it's information from a reliable insider.
Supporter: So there's an informant at headquarters... It's a complicated feeling knowing that every side up is riddled with informants.
C.B.: It's the same among the others ♪
Supporter: You, a former informant, are saying this?
Branch Chief: However, we can't let our guard down, because we don't know when they'll realise our weakness is Ethyl.
Dion: Ethyl is safe... Big brother will definitely rescue you. Together with these guys.
Chain: So, now that we know what's going on with Ethyl, can you please cut back on your drinking? As I said earlier, my savings are in a bit of a pinch.
Dion: Ah! We need as much money as possible to help Ethyl! Ethyl , big brother will have a change of heart...!
Cyan: ...Anyway, is it okay to upload this as a video? If we upload it, won't the Agency find out what we're trying to do?
Branch Chief: ...Ah.
C.B.: Is the Branch Chief competent or an idiot? I can never tell...
Branch Chief: T-then that's all for this video! Thank you all for watching!

~Supporter interview~
Q1. A message to my roommate
I'm glad that I seem to have been able to correct the Branch Chief's lifestyle to some extent. I think it's very kind of him to turn off the lights when I try to go to sleep and to prepare for his own bedtime. At the same time, I realised that if I had stayed overnight in the lab back when we were at the Tokyo Branch, I could have stopped the him from overworking himself; I regret that a little.
Q2. What's the most enjoyable thing about living together?
I woke up in the middle of the night and went downstairs to find Ergot playing video games, so I joined him. I don't usually have many opportunities to play games, but he's a good player, and it was fun playing against him.
Q3. What are your complaints about living together?
Everyone doesn't seem to understand what it means to live in a shared space. Even with assigned chores, they don't do the housework, and even with room assignments, they invade each others rooms. It's too noisy every day. Since we're living together, I wish they would follow the rules.

~Branch Chief interview~
Q1. A message to my roommate
Thanks to you, Supporter-kun, I've been able to live the most regular life I've had since leaving the facility. Thank you so much! Even though you're younger than me, you're so reliable and I'm always grateful for your help. I'll do my best to become someone you can rely on, so please continue to support me!
Q2. What's the most enjoyable thing about living together?
I'm having fun every day. I have more time to do things with everyone than when I was working at the Agency. Towards the end, I didn't get to talk to everyone as much, so when I read a book with An the other day for the first time in a while, I was thrilled to find that he could read more kanji characters.
Q3. What are your complaints about living together?
I rarely have complaints. I suppose sometimes I think everyone's a little too free, but it's a huge relief not having to worry about headquarters watching us anymore... Although, Supporter-kun, Hemlock, and Cyan have been complaining about a few things, so I hope we can all work together more to ensure everyone can live comfortably!

Q1. A message to my roommate
I'm so happy to be alone with adorable An! ♡ An learns so quickly, it's really rewarding to teach him. I'll continue to teach you lots of things ♪
Q2. What's the most enjoyable thing about living together?
The bathroom cleaning duty the other day was pretty fun. C.B. was on duty, but he wasn't getting around to it, so An and I had to drag him there. In the end, it looked like we'd been playing in the water (lol). I wish I'd filmed it so everyone could see how beautiful we all looked when we were soaked.
Q3. What are your complaints about living together?
Ever since I started sharing a room with An, Hemlock and C.B. have been keeping a close eye on me. I don't mind being watched since it gives me a thrill - at least until those two something more than just watching me. My physical abilities are no match for them, so I'd be grateful if the Branch Chief or someone could step in before something happens. I haven't done anything wrong, after all.

Cyan > Don't annoy me!
Hemlock: I know you're probably not happy, but it's mostly Cyan's fault, so tell off Cyan, not me.
Q2. What's the most enjoyable thing about living together?
Fighting the traitor together and tearing their hideout to shreds, or being chased by the Agency after the battle with Voids and fighting back while escaping, it's all been fun! There's a certain excitement in confronting humans, not just Voids ♪
Q3. What are your complaints about living together?
Sharing a room with Cyan. Also, the house is so small that I can't work out as much. I can't even use the combat simulator anymore, I really want to move around more!
[An unexpected hidden boss!?] What happens when you give An some alcohol...?
This time, we were planning to give you a little glimpse into our life on the run...but Dion and Chain got An drunk and things got out of hand...
Cast: An, Hemlock, Cyan, Ergot, Dion, C.B., Chain, Supporter-kun, and myself (Branch Chief)
※ To prevent our location from being identified, the background will be blurred! (Branch Chief)
Branch Chief: This is a special edition of The Complete Anatomy of a Toxic Guy! This video is meant to let you all know that we're all safe and sound...or so we thought...
Hemlock: What about this is safe?
Cyan & C.B. fighting sounds
Ergot: Hey, Cyan, C.B., give it a rest! We can't let our hideout being end up found out like this!
An: Both of you, stop it!
C.B.: It's his fault for dodging!
Cyan: Huh? It's your right for being too slow, are you moving in slow-motion? It looks like you stopped.
C.B.: Huuuh? That's what you say, but you haven't been fighting back at all. You're still a weakling who's all talk.
Cyan: If I got serious, I could turn you to dust in an instant. The only reason I'm not fighting back is out of mercy! ...You!
C.B.: It's too late for you to say that!
An: Stop fighting!
Ergot: Sigh... Normally, An could stop the fight by force, but in a small hideout like this, intervening might only make things worse. I just want to avoid the Branch Chief and Supporter-san getting hurt.
Supporter: I want to avoid Cyan getting hurt, too. We're low on supplies, so I'm not sure if we could repair him perfectly.
Hemlock: It seems C.B. is holding back because he understands that; it would be bad if Cyan were to get injured here.
Ergot: And Cyan, knowing that he's holding back, is even more annoyed. Given the circumstances, it's difficult for him to retaliate, resulting in a rather lukewarm fight.
C.B. & Cyan: Don't analyse us!
Branch Chief: If care about that, then I wish you wouldn't fight in the first place...it's really annoying...
Cyan: You're saying that, after causing so much trouble?
Branch Chief: It's not so much that I'm bothered by it, but everyone else...
C.B.: If the Branch Chief had handled things better, we wouldn't be stuck in this cramped place right now.
Cyan: We could have had a much more satisfying argument.
C.B.: Riight?
Cyan: Don't forget you owe us a favour.
Branch Chief: S-sorry...
C.B.: Don't think the current Branch Chief can easily mediate our fights.
Branch Chief: Di-Dion, Chain, I'd like you to keep an eye on them for me, but...
Dion: Aaahh, what's up with you guys? Do you want the Branch Chief's attention?
Chain: Your big brothers will take care of you in place of the Branch Chief ♡
Supporter: Wow, they're completely out of it...
Chain: An~♡, come here~
An: Huh? Uh...
Hemlock: Stop it.
Dion: Even An needs a drink once in a while to relieve stress, right?
An: I don't drink alcohol very often, or rather, I don't drink alcohol at all.
Chain: So this is your first time? Congratulations on your first drink!
Dion: Hey, hey, stop saying things like "first time", C.B. will get jealous and start yelling!
C.B.: I don't get jealous of drunkards that act like that, though...
Dion: Oh! We've been given permission to drink from C.B.!
Chain: You gotta let loose once in a while, right?
Hemlock: No, C.B. didn't give permission...
An: ...Then, just a little bit.
Hemlock: An, stop it!
20 minutes later
An: I'm always telling C.B. and Cyan to stop fighting! Come on! Hurry and make up!
C.B.: We stopped fighting 20 minutes ago when you had your drink.
An: Are you saying I can't drink my alcohol?!
Cyan: G-got it, got it. We've stopped fighting and we'll have a drink together, so calm down.
Dion: Cyan and C.B. are more flustered than usual. Hilarious.
An: An is drinking better than I expected!
Supporter: Wh-what are we going to do, Branch Chief?! An has been drinking!
Branch Chief: Well, technically, An isn't subject to human law, so even if this gets out, it's safe! ...I think.
Ergot: Well, that's reassuring then!
...Not at all! He's been forbidden from drinking alcohol all this time because it's bad for his education!
Supporter: It's such a serious situation that even Ergot is resorting to being the tsukkomi.
An: Ah, Supporter-san, can you drink with us too?
Branch Chief: This is awful! It would be really bad for Supporter-kun to drink! He'll have to wait another three years...!
Supporter: Well, considering I rebelled against the Agency, escaped with the toxic guys as part of the resistance, and am now a wanted man, it feels kind of too late now...
Branch Chief: No way! I'll put myself on the line to protect Supporter-kun!!
Dion: Oh, you're saying that? If you'd joined us for drinks, we wouldn't have had to force An to drink, right?
Branch Chief: I've said this many times before, but there's no way I can get drunk in this situation-
An: The Branch Chief is always like that!
Supporter: This might be the first time I've heard An shouting outside of fighting.
Cyan: So An's the bothersome type when he's drunk.
C.B.: Did just you say my An is a nuisance?
Cyan: I take that back. Compared to you, he's no bother at all.
An: You're both being noisy and annoying. I'm trying to talk to the Branch Chief right now!
C.B. & Cyan: ...Okay.
Hemlock: He subdued those two with sheer force...!?
Dion: Haha, so the secret boss wasn't Ergot, but An?
Chain: It might be time for our hierarchy to change.
Ergot: It's a great way to apply pressure. He's usually so mild-mannered; that's why it's so effective. 100 points!
Dion: T-that's the kind of confidence a secret boss would have...
An: Branch Chief, sit in seiza over there.
Branch Chief: O-okay!
An: You think it's all your fault... You think everything that happened is your fault, and all you say is that you're sorry to us.
Branch Chief: I dragged you guys into this, and because of that, you've become wanted by the Agency, so the responsibility lies entirely with me, right?
An: But you were working hard to prevent the world from going to hell, right? If the you hadn't worked so hard, we would've been in even more trouble in the future, wouldn't we?
Branch Chief: That's...true, but I don't know if this was the best option. I could have done it better, without involving you guys.
An: That's wrong! You're wrong. You're chosen path was "The Only Neat Thing To Do."
Branch Chief: An...
An: That's why I hate you bearing the burden alone! We all need to cooperate, but you always seem to be fighting alone. You get angry when I fight alone, but then you always try to handle everything by yourself and leave!
Hemlock: There, there. Don't cry.
Supporter: I understand what An is trying to say. I mean, if you keep looking so gloomy, the fighting will never stop, Dion and Chain will drag everyone into their drinking and cause trouble, and nothing good will come of it. It's about time you changed your attitude and acted like a proper Branch Chief, keeping everyone together.
Branch Chief: I feel like fights and drinking parties happened frequently back when we at the Branch, regardless of me...
Supporter: The extent of the damage depends on whether you can quickly stop it or not!
Hemlock: If you're still dwelling on the past, we won't be able to move forward either. Even though we've escaped the immediate crisis, there are still many more problems to be solved, so as our leader, you absolutely must regain your spirits.
Branch Chief: That's right...I'm sorry everyone, it was my fault. I thought we'd recovered on the surface, but I couldn't help but wonder if I really had the right to lead everyone, and maybe I'm not playing the tsukkomi with enough force...
Dion: That's right, that's right. You were really on edge!
Chain: If you didn't recover, we'd become too scared to play the boke!
Cyan: That's what you wanted to talk about?
Branch Chief: When you think of me, you think of a tsukkomi! When you think of a tsukkomi, you think of me! Peace cannot be maintained without me!
Cyan: It that really what that was about?
Hemlock: In fact, until very recently, Dion and C.B. have been teasing the Branch Chief, saying things like, "You really tricked us!," which made the him feel awkward.
Ergot: Hemlock, shhh! Don't tell the truth.
Dion: So, say a word to all the chuu-dokus watching, go~!
Branch Chief: Huh, wait a minute, I'm not good at adlibbing!
Chain: That setting is still in effect?
Supporter: From a certain point onwards, the PR videos were recorded without a script, completely improvised.
Branch Chief: The next video will be completely scripted, so please look forward to it!

~Dion interview~
Q1. A message to my roommate
I've been thinking that I'd like to have a drink with you, one-on-one, at least once. There was a lot on my mind, but most of it was revealed in that interrogation video, so I want to have a proper talk with you again. We're going to be living together for a while, after all.
Q2. What's the most enjoyable thing about living together?
It was so much fun hanging out with Chain and C.B. the other day. We used to do that when we were at the Tokyo Branch too, but I was kind of worried what the staff were thinking. It was great to be able to have fun with only close friends.
Q3. What are your complaints about living together?
I don't have any major complaints. Well, I guess it's become harder to drink alcohol? Chain's doing his best, but it seems like it's getting harder to secure alcohol now than it was when we were in the Agency, so I'm a bit worried. I have trouble falling asleep without alcohol.

Q1. A message to my roommate
Fufufu, I'm happy to be sharing a room with Dion. I've sometimes felt this distance between us, so I'd like to take this opportunity to become closer.
Q2. What's the most enjoyable thing about living together?
I'm having fun spending time with everyone. I think the moment I really felt like we were living as a community was when we all did a big clean-up together. I'm a neat freak; I think I surprised everyone a little. I felt a sense of accomplishment when we made the hideout sparkling clean.
Q3. What are your complaints about living together?
I have none in particular. It might be somewhat less convenient than the Tokyo Branch, but it's still much better than our previous environment.

Q1. A message to my roommate
C.B. > Stay out of my sight as much as possible.
Hemlock > I know it's bad to mess around fighting, but you should direct your complaints to that stupid tentacle bastard. It's his fault.
Q2. What's the most enjoyable thing about living together?
Nothing in particular. ......If I had to pick one thing, it would be something about living together or living in resistance. Though it was kind of fun beating up that traitor among the guys who came to help during our last move.
Q3. What are your complaints about living together?
I'm sharing a room with C.B. I know it was decided by lottery, but I don't like it. Yesterday, I was planning to make some accessories, but I realised my beads had been stolen, which led to a fight.

Q1. A message to my roommate
Please, I beg you, stop fighting every time you see each other.
Q2. What's the most enjoyable thing about living together?
Being able to have casual philosophical discussions with the Branch Chief. It's fun to talk to him in the living room, still full of the same enthusiasm we feel after reading a book. When we were at the Tokyo Branch, the Branch Chief was always too busy, so there weren't many opportunities like that.
Q3. What are your complaints about living together?
I have countless small complaints. First of all, I wish something could be done about the room assignments. I need some quiet time alone, and I can't get any peace and quiet with those two quick-tempered people around. I was told it was bad luck with the draw, but since we're living together, they should have decided on the room assignments based on balance, rather than drawing lots. Also, recently Dion was drinking alcohol from midday and got drunk. As a result of falling asleep, he skipped his turn to clean the bathroom. Since no one noticed, I was very annoyed when I went to take a bath and found that the bathtub wasn't filled. And then, C.B. got carried away during dinner and started swinging his tentacles around. As a result, Supporter's meals had to be remade. We ate it anyway because we didn't want to waste it, but it wasn't a pleasant feeling to eat while thinking it might be poisoned...I could go on and on like this, but we're living together in a small house, so I accept that some of these things are unavoidable.

Q1. A message to my roommate
Thank you for reading so many different books to me. Hemlock was worried about what kind of books I was reading, so please tell him the title of the book you read to me next time.
Q2. What's the most enjoyable thing about living together?
When Chain invited me to "do something naughty," I was nervous, but I enjoyed staying up all night for the first time. Towards the end, I got sleepy, but I was excited when I saw the sunrise from the window.
Q3. What are your complaints about living together?
I don't have any complaints because I always have fun being with everyone. But, the space is smaller what we had at the Tokyo Branch, and things break more easily, so I feel like I have to stop C.B. from causing trouble! …That's what I think.
