Everyone!
Do you know how to make delicious omelette rice?!
The trick is to mix the rice before adding the ketchup.
That way it doesn't get all sticky!
It's a labor of love!
I'll see you tomorrow.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
I don't understand.
How can a proud Fangire as yourself...
find love in a lowly human?
Please... just let me go.
Surely you're aware...
Punishing human-lovers like you...
is my duty as your queen.
The dark of night...
falls upon you.
Onward...
Pump that beating heart
Send 'em flying, kick it up
Light that burning heart
You're my one and only
(Wake up, wake up)
Have you ever wondered what your purpose in the world is?
Pump that beating heart
(Beatin', beatin')
Light that burning heart
(Come up y'all)
If you just lock yourself away, nothing will ever begin
You have to kick your way through that shut door
You'll never be able to count away all of your fears
(Just kick it)
So break the rules of fate
Dash through life trusting the bonds you can't see!
(Just do it)
You've got to change, breakin' the chain
Get up and soar toward the future
Don't be afraid, the world is your stage
Go!
Pump that beating heart
You're my one and only
Episode 23 Variation: Fugitives Forever
Mal d'Amour, such a good café~
Boss!
Get over here!
W-w-wha...!
Congratulations!
Happy birthday, Boss!
I completely forgot.
34 years and I'd never actually celebrated a birthday.
Thank you.
Now then, blow 'em out!
Okay, here. I got you a present.
Really? Can I open it?
What do you think?! What do you think?!
Oshidashi
And this one's from me.
It's an Onyanko album!
Thank you.
Yay.
This... this is autographed!
What are you—?!
Stop that. Let go.
So next we'll be celebrating me.
My birthday's coming up.
The day the world was graced with the genius of Kurenai Otoya.
It'll probably become a national holiday someday, sacred to our citizens.
Amen.
Yeah, sure.
Is there anything you want, then?
Yes! Yo—
Besides me.
He never stops being predictable.
Or shallow. Or tiresome. Not much of a man, really.
I'll give you a present, alright.
How about some pain?
The strings of engagement?
How about the boss?
Which do you want?
None of the above! I have it all as it is.
You always order omelette rice, don't you?
Do you like it that much?
Yes, see, I am the head of the Wonderful Omelette Rice Group!
So, tell me! How are things with Mio?
Did you set up your next date yet?
- No, I couldn't... - Excuse me.
Say what?! How can you be so bad at this?! You two are a good match, y'know!
A good match, y'know?
I'm fine, don't worry about me!
Megumi, how about you? You're not seeing anyone, are you?
Rude of you to make assumptions. I'm insulted.
Then you have someone?
...I don't.
Then tell me, what's your type?
Smart, peak physical condition, with a great face and sense of style...
...full of conviction, the perfect man?
Isn't that Nago?
Don't be an idiot!
C'mon, Teach! I'll hold the door fer ya!
It's blisterin' hot today, ain't it?! Mal d'Amour.
I'll take care a' that! Go on, then, sit.
Boss! Bring Teach a coffee, yeah?
The best brand ya got!
Right, welcome.
Right this way.
We're being evicted?
It's illegal to work here without a permit.
Please leave the premises.
Looks like you guys have problems, too.
Nothing we can do, I guess. Life has its peaks and valleys.
Move out of the way, please.
This is... the bottom of a valley.
Ow!
I owe you guys... Come with me.
Welcome!
You got new employees?
They just started here today. Right?
I'll work hard!
Something smells weird.
What are you making there, Yuri?
That's none of your business! Quit snooping!
I can help you.
Boss, a coffee!
Filling in for Yuri is pinch hitter Kurenai Otoya. Master chef Kurenai Otoya.
Phone number 9071...
Welcome.
Thanks for waiting, Shinji!
Did you wait long?
No.
Ryoko.
Why the gloomy look? What did you want to talk about?
No... umm... well...
Is it about breaking up?
No...
It's written all over your face. You want to break up.
I said I'd fill in!
- Let go!
Not my fault.
Thanks for waiting. Here's your coffee.
What is it?
Oh, nothing...
Two sugars, right?
Yeah.
Bye.
- Good morning. - Morning.
Reona isn't here yet?
Say that again?
Her stomach hurts.
My apologies!
Sorry, Megumi. Reona can't make it.
Looks like she doesn't feel well.
And after we got real jewelry together, too!
Hey, Megumi, you know any good girls for the job?
No, I can't! I'm not a model...
Of course you can! I have an eye for these things.
You just can't tell how charming you are, sweetie!
Don't you think so too, Wataru?
Uh, yeah. You'll do great, sweetie.
Um, Mio.
Yay, come on!
I can't believe it. Even you, Wataru.
It's fine! I'll be with you. And he'll come with us.
Welcome home.
I ran a bath.
Ryoko, didn't we just break up?
No, we didn't.
Because it was written all over your face, Shinji.
You still love me.
But we can't. It doesn't matter how much I love you, we can't!
Shinji, don't you get it?
I had to go through a lot to get where I am.
Maybe you think I'm impudent, but...
I'm here.
I'm sorry.
Fine.
This time, it's really goodbye.
Ryoko!
I'll always...
How far...
...is the train station?
It's right where I'm standing.
Is it okay... if we're together?
Yes.
It's been exactly a year, hasn't it?
That we met like this, I...
- Ryoko! Ryoko!
Will you always...
Will you always... be with me?
You idiot!
We haven't even been apart five minutes!
Ryoko. Ryoko.
Ryoko. I'm sorry.
Idiot.
It's no use.
Ruined again.
Wait, don't eat that!
De-li-cious.
I swear on this silk tree.
We will always be together.
Shinji - Ryoko
I will escape. I swear I will.
Say, "you are my sun!"
"You are... my... son."
What are you two up to?!
Hey, well Riki says he found someone he likes.
I'm teaching him how to confess his love.
In that case, just leave it to me!
When in doubt, ask Kurenai Otoya! Everywhere, any time, Kurenai Otoya!
You'll get your Venus on the first try!
I'll teach you some of the lines I've got!
Please do.
I've finally found you, my goddess.
You are...
You remember me, of course.
We're connected by destiny, after all.
Nothing wrong with a shy woman!
Right okay, left okay.
I don't want to die yet.
I lost her!
"Destiny this, destiny that."
How many women are you "destined" to be with?
Don't worry about the details. That destiny came and went.
You're the one I'm absurdly connected to.
"Absurdly"?!
You should leave too, Yuri. What's absurd is how shallow he is.
Pipe down! It's none of your business.
My red string ties every woman by the pinky.
But only you have red strings tied around every finger.
Nonsense.
You little...
Here we go.
I'll keep taking pictures, you just pose however you like.
Mio, can you smile for me a little? C'mon, smile!
Relax. Relax.
Okay.
How about an open-mouthed smile, huh?
I can't. I can't smile for pictures.
Try thinking of something that makes you happy.
Something happy.
That's it, perfect! Here we go!
Nice smile!
That's good! Maybe put your hand to your face?
That's it! Yeah! Together now!
One, two.
Perfect, okay! Switch out their necklaces now.
I need a new necklace.
Thief! Thief!
Stop! Stop!
Stop! Ow!
Are you okay?
Follow him! Follow him!
Alright! I'm coming, Wataru!
Alright alright alright! Kivat!
Chomp!
Transform!
How about bringing out a wolf to fight this bear?
Garulu Saber!
You made this for me? Then you confess your love for me?
Q-Quit being an idiot!
I work here, I needed the practice.
Hurry and eat it.
How is it?
It's plain.
How can you say that?!
Oh, it's delicious! This is the best!
You're lying! Tell the truth!
It's plain.
What do you want, Fido?
Was Yuri's omelette rice good?
What? Are you jealous?
Well I'm glad you enjoyed your last meal.
With you gone... nothing will stand in my way.
Ryoko.
You're beautiful.
...even now.
Can you hear your requiem?!
Farewell, Kurenai Otoya!
Yuri...
...is mine now.
She's all mine.
Next time on Kamen Rider Kiva...
Please stop! You're a kind man!
I'll run until God strikes you down.
I'll make her forget about Kurenai Otoya.
Wake Up!
