## Summary

Shintarou Jagasaki is back to a group of drunk people as they received complains about them causing trouble. He tries to tell them to go home, but they just mock him and saying they don’t want to end up like him. He takes out his gun and shoots them, but that’s something he imagined a his favorite mascot would do. Instead, Shintarou smiles and apologizes for being good for nothing, but they keep mocking him.

At the police station, coworker tells him that he is the idiot if he is trying to reason with idiots. Shintarou takes it as advice to act more idiotic next time, but the man tells him he doesn’t need to act and he is a real idiot by just being himself. But Shintarou just acts it playful and smiles. Bell enters and comments seeing both of them laugh is creeping her out. She asks Shintarou how’s his girlfriend. Shintarou explains that they aren’t going to marry and Bell advices him to just break with her.

Returning in the morning from night shift, Yuriko was awake as she woke up earlier and was thinking about something. She tells him that her parents were coming and they wanted to meet him while they are in town. While they weren’t planning on getting married right now, she believes if they are going to become a family, he needs to meet them. Shintarou is annoyed that they are having this conversation, but agrees to meet them and starts making love with Yuriko. As they finish, he imagines what his life will become and believes it will be super lame. He sees a plush of his favorite mascot and wonders what he has to do and starts imagining shooting everyone he met that day.

Meanwhile, a frogs with human arms and legs start falling over the city. That evening Shintarou brushes his teeth and makes scary faces in the mirror and manages to scare himself and then heads for another night shift. Arriving at work, they receive a report for a man at Buppa Station and head out. They find a drunk man that complains that no one cares about him, including his wife and dog and Shintarou encourages him that he is doing incredible job. As the train is about to leave, the man rushes on it to not be late and they follow him on the train.

On the train, they see a man, Sasaoka causing trouble and yelling at his employee for a mistake he made. Shintarou tries to intervene and calm the man, but the man just turns and yells at him. As he keeps yelling at his employee, he transforms and kills the employee. He then turns and starts killing passengers. Shintarou’s coworker tries to shoot, but gets killed. As Shintarou takes out his gun, Sasaoka cuts of his fingers and makes him drop the gun. Shintarou loses all hope and recalls the useless life he had. As Sasaoka is about to kill him, Shintarou does his signature “shoot ‘em up” move in which he imagines he shoots people and to his surprise, he manages to shoot and kill Sasaoka. He then notices that his missing fingers had turned into a gun-barrel weapon. An owl then appears and congratulates him.
