Chainsmoker Cat (2026) s01e09 Episode Script

RESTROOM
Bathroom time.
Hey, there's no smoking in the bathroom.
I can't poop unless I'm smoking.
It's still a no!
You'll set off the sprinkler system.
This is the problem with beastfolk.
OUJI RUKO - BEASTFOLK FETISHIS
So cute.
I want to be her friend.
And if possible,
I wish she'd let me
touch her ears and tail.
That was so cute!
My stomach hurts!
Is Ruko meditating?
She's so handsome!
I could look at her for ages.
And by "touch,"
I just mean gently stroking them.
That would be enough for me.
I wouldn't be rough at all.
What?
What's Imo-chan like?
She really loves her big sister.
Yeah, but she has
a funny way of showing it.
That's cute.
But her big sister
is a real tricky character.
Tricky character?
From what we hear,
she is a bit disgusting.
How so?
Like she'd poop in public.
What does that mean?
Does she like poop or something?
That's scary.
No!
If that's what Imoko is into,
then I can embrace it!
IT'S POOP
But if I showcased such a strange kink
at school, it would be a huge scandal.
Mother would kill me!
What do I do?
HEALTH CHECK-UP NOTIFICATION
Imoko.
Ruko-chan?
I'm sorry for stopping you
in the hallway like this.
It's okay. What's up?
I like you.
Wait. I mean…
I wanted to give this to you.
So cute! This is for me?
You can open it.
- Really?
I wonder what it is.
What?
What did I do wrong?
I'm out of smokes.
I can't poop without smoking.
What am I going to do?
I've got more left in the chamber.
I have a brand-new pack
in the back of my room.
I guess I can smoke another ciggy butt.
No, stop being lazy and just go get it.
A fresh ciggy makes all the difference.
It hasn't broken off yet.
I have to move extra carefully,
so I don't break it off.
Hey, Yani Neko,
I brought you our community notice board.
A cat spirit?
Chainsmoker Cat.
So Matsuo Basho was walking really fast.
What do you think his apprentice,
Kawai Sora, said?
"Basho me the way."
"Master, this is the Narrow Road
of Explosive Speed."
"Que Sora, Sora."
I just came up with that joke on the spot.
I can't stop laughing.
"Basho me the way."
A day in the life of Yani Neko
Let me tell you about something
About Yani Neko
Are you ready?
Here comes a Yani Neko fact
Let me tell you something about Yani Neko
Her sy surprisingly doesn't smell bad.
Hello.
Kill me.
I understand how you feel,
but please calm down.
I'm plenty calm.
Kill me.
Kill me. Kill me.
Chainsmoker Cat!
We will now proceed
with the beast funeral.
Guests, please stand back for your safety.
What is this?
Shouldn't we be going to the crematorium
now that the service is over?
Why did they place his casket there?
And didn't Grandfather hate smoking?
So, what is with that?
Isn't that disrespectful?
It'll all be clear soon enough.
What?
They're coming!
What? You haven't been making any sense.
Beastfolk? Why?
FLOWER OFFERING
Oh my god! Are they eating him?
Why aren't you stopping them?
Now, let us go say our final goodbyes.
My husband loved the beastfolk.
See, doesn't he look happy?
Honestly.
You were so ridiculous
up until the very end.
Grand…
Grandpa.
None of these is my brand.
What a bust.
FASHION CENTER NEKOMURA
Thanks for spending your day off with me.
Don't mention it.
I love looking at clothes, anyway.
Yani Neko is always
wearing out her clothes and looking cold.
So are you buying her clothes?
That seems way too generous.
Well, this is sort of a compensation
for when I ripped up her clothes
pretty good.
How did that happen?
What about this?
White would look good on her.
No, this is no good.
What?
- You know how much she smokes.
It'll only take her three days
to turn any white clothing yellow.
That makes sense.
Then…
How about this?
That's no good either.
- Why not?
There's fur on the sleeves.
It'll catch fire
when she lights a cigarette.
It's especially dangerous for her.
Even she wouldn't…
Just the other day, Imo-chan…
Here you go.
…gave Yaniko gloves as a present.
But, well…
She got her lighters
tangled in the gloves.
Imo-chan was so pissed.
Stupid Chimney, such a pain!
Then what about this?
It's gray, no fur, and the antibacterial
material eliminates tobacco odor.
Plus, there are lots of pockets
she can carry cigarettes in.
And she won't get her lighter caught
in these sleeves!
Hold on.
Yes?
This isn't that cute.
CHIMNEY'S OUTFIT TODAY
JACKET BOUGHT BY YAKU
KANSAI'S CASUAL WEAR
NATURAL TOBACCO COLOGNE
Hey, not bad!
It looks great on you!
It's warm. Thanks, Yaku. Thanks, Kansai.
You'd better take good care of them.
Wait, why are your pockets so stuffed?
Did you get so excited
that you packed them full of cigarettes?
I did.
You're so cute!
I managed to stuff
so many ciggy butts inside.
I did see this coming.
She's a monster.
You can't expect anything from her.
Found one on the ground.
Now, after a lot of effort,
here's the new cigarette-hating Yani Neko.
What?
Cigarettes are evil.
Secondhand smoke is a criminal offense.
What is she, an online commenter?
I don't understand what's going on at all.
Do you mind explaining things to me?
Well…
HYPNOSIS
I found this
behavior modification app online.
You will no longer desire smoking.
You will gradually grow to hate it.
Just looking at one
will fill you with disgust.
When I tested it on Yani Neko,
it kind of worked really well.
I've seen this in porn before.
Anyway, why is she brushing her teeth?
It couldn't erase her oral fixation.
One wrong move,
and this could easily turn into porn.
Where are you going?
The monster has been unleashed
upon the world.
Yani Neko-chan?
Today isn't your day to assist me.
Why are you brushing your teeth?
What? Why?
That smells so bad!
Cigarette extinguished.
I REALLY NEEDED THIS
Gross!
Do one good deed a day.
Breaking news.
Sometime after 4:00 p.m.,
a woman appeared,
spitting at the Nyagamihara Station
smoking area.
The prefectural police
are currently searching for her
and are asking local residents
for any information,
but please maintain your distance
should you see her.
She's causing more trouble
than when she was smoking!
According to eyewitnesses…
Chainsmoker Cat.
Sato.
Ready!
Imo-chan sure is amazing.
Beastfolk have insane physical abilities.
Kaku.
Ready!
I guess it doesn't apply to everyone.
TEST RESULTS
YOMUKO KAKU
GRADE RANK: 45
Yes! I made the top 50 for the first time.
What a relief.
Focusing on my weak math skills
really paid off!
For real, Imoko?
You're eighth in the whole grade?
- Wow.
You're Conan!
I just got lucky.
I'm a beastfolk
with terrible athletic skills.
But I don't exactly make it up
with my academics either.
You know,
being in the same class as Ms. Sato
is kind of suffocating.
There you are!
Ms. Sato?
A classmate told me
that you always eat lunch on the roof.
Yeah.
I like reading and quiet places.
I totally get it!
I sometimes want to be alone, too.
It's every day for me, not just sometimes.
She's so close!
Anyway, I came here
to ask you for a favor.
What?
- I'm really bad at writing essays.
Could you teach me some tricks?
Why?
My sister told me that you write novels.
No, that's actually my friend.
Plus, your grades in language class
are really good.
They're nothing special.
I just like reading novels.
Wow, that's really impressive!
I mean, sure.
If you really want me to teach you.
Really? Thanks!
Also, please call me Imoko.
In that case,
please call me Yomuko.
Okay!
Yomuko-chan!
What is this?
I've never felt this before.
What is this feeling?
I always thought that creatives
should channel their loneliness
into creativity,
but I may have been wrong.
There is a limit
to a single person's energy.
People can't live without others.
And looking back on my experience,
people who create boring work
tend to seem like they have no friends.
YOU MUST BE ONE OF THEM.
CRINGE!
WHAT'S WITH HER? LOL
SHE GOT SOME BACKLASH
Chainsmoker Cat! Chainsmoker Cat!
Imoko is spending the night at a friend's,
so I have the house to myself tonight.
I'll have to make the most of it.
Shizue Fever!
Nothing beats Darjeeling
when it comes to tea.
Such a wonderful aroma.
The cookies I hid from Imoko-chan
are delicious, too.
But most of all,
a delicious cigarette
pairs so well with tea and sweets.
I'm in heaven.
Oh no. I fell asleep.
What time is it?
The room is all white!
It reminds me of my honeymoon in London.
I went a little too hard with Shizue Time.
But I should be able
to ventilate this all out by tomorrow.
It's Imoko-chan.
Mom?
Yes, it's your mother.
Are you having a good time?
No, I'm coming home now.
- What?
Hana's home got hit by a burglar.
Burglar? You're coming home?
Not much was taken,
but they had to call the police.
Hana was super pissed
that her underpants got stolen.
I'm sorry to hear that happened.
I'll be home in ten minutes.
But I don't need dinner
since I already ate.
See you soon.
Oh my god.
Why?
What did I do to deserve this?
This is all because
Hana's house got burglarized!
Stupid burglar!
I'm home!
What happened in here?
Mom, were you smoking again?
Mom!
Are you okay? What happened?
A burglar appeared
right after I got off the phone with you.
As you can see.
What?
I'm not hurt. They just tied me up.
But the burglar was smoking
so many cigarettes.
Like a chimney!
Are you really not hurt?
Yes, I'm okay.
I'm never going
to spend the night away ever again!
What?
No, it's totally fine for you to do that.
I'll never leave you!
SHIZUE'S CONSCIENCE TAKES FIVE DAMAGE!
