You must have got him in trouble...

...by not sorting the garbage.

This place is a garbage dump! What do we

need to sort?

That's right! Hey!

You can't blame him for being mad, it's his

property.

If we piss him off, he'll go to the cops.

Who suffers? We do.

Hey, we have to learn Japanese...

...if we want to blend into their world.

We're living in their home, we should build

links.

We need to communicate more.

You're right.

Why don't I start a Japanese class.

...and teach you all for free?

Fantastic, count me in OK!

Me too... I want to as well...

OK, no more talk.
