Seth & Leona
It was late afternoon, and Iori was still losing money. He had lost potential cash from constant store repairs, and had lost out on a contract with a rich syndicate. At this point, Iori would have to make enough money to at least get out of debt.
"Oh cheer up, Iori, we'll pull in some money somehow," Billy says, trying to comfort Iori, who was sitting in his office in a slump
"Yeah! I bet we can make even more money with the new stock of exotic meat I just imported," Yamazaki says with a grin.
"It's your own damn fault that we lost the last opportunity to work for Zero and his agents," Iori shoots back to Yamazaki, before interrupting himself. "Wait, did you just say you imported even more meat?" Iori says, raising an eyebrow.
"You got it!" Yamazaki says, walking outside Iori's office. "Hey! Animals! Get in here!"
Iori immediately sits up in his chair when the entire building began to rumble.
"What the?!" Iori says, mouth hanging open as he witnesses dozens of tropical animals stampede into his office and surround Yamazaki.
"See? All of these guys will make great ground meats!" Yamazaki says.
"Yamazaki! Get these damn animals out of my office! And while you're at it, take them all back!" Iori warns Yamazaki.
Just then, Goenitz peeks into Iori's office.
"We've got visitors," Goenitz says to Iori.
"Well? Who are they? Are they customers or what?!" Iori inquires.
"It's the city Health Inspectors," Goenitz responds.
"WHAT?!" Iori shouts, falling over in his chair in the process. "We've got to get these animals out of this building before they notice! Billy, Goenitz, keep them occupied while Yamazaki and I remove these atrocious animals!" Iori commands.
Everyone nods and got started on doing what they were ordered to do.
Front Of The Deli
Billy and Goenitz went out to the front of the deli, where the Health Inspectors waited. Both officials wore grey trench coats with their badges, and had clipboards full of notes.
"Sorry about the wait," Goenitz apologized to the visitors.
"Indeed," says one of the officials. "I am Seth, and this is my partner, Leona. We have orders to inspect every new establishment that opens in South Town to see if it is up to standards in cleanliness and product quality," Seth explains.
"Aw man, that's right…my other boss Geese Howard was the one who made this rule some time ago," Billy recalls.
"Let's just hope the guys in the back have things under control while we stall these folks," Goenitz responds.
"Ahem," Leona interrupts. "Let's begin tasting with your products here up front in the cooler."
Back Of The Deli
"AAAAHHHH! THIS IS BULL!" Iori screams out to Yamazaki.
"What? That I have to throw out all of my exotic animals?!" Yamazaki responds.
"NO! I MEAN LITERALLY! THERE'S A LIVE BULL THAT WON'T LET ME LEAVE THIS CORNER!" Iori shouts as an angry Italian bull had Iori pinned in the corner of the building.
"Well, you are wearing red…" Yamazaki adds.
"NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!" Iori yells back. "NOW HELP ME!"
"Fine," Yamazaki mumbles, pulling out a whip and cracking it in the air, causing all of the animals to start running out of the building through the back door, including the bull that was giving Iori trouble.
"That's all of them…I think" Yamazaki states.
"What do you mean 'you think'?" Iori questions, raising an eyebrow.
Front Of The Deli
Back out front, Seth and Leona had just finished sampling some of the deli's food.
"Hmm…the food here is not bad. You pass," Seth says, checking something off on his clipboard.
"Now for the last part of the inspection: We need to check the quality of the inventory in the back storage to see if its sanitary," Leona says.
Both Billy and Goenitz look at each other.
"Is… that a problem?" Seth says to the two.
"No-no, it's quite alright. C'mon back!" Billy lies as he shows the Food Inspectors the way to the back of the deli.
Back Of The Deli
"HORSE-SHIT!"
"What is it now?!" Yamazaki says.
"I STEPPED IN SOME, WHAT ELSE?!" Iori yells to Yamazaki.
Billy and Goenitz then run to the back where they are.
"The Food Inspectors are on their way to the back right now!" Billy says to Iori.
"Damn, and the place is a dump! There are anime feces all over and it smells like a barn in here!" Iori comments. "If they see this mess, we'll be shut down for sure!"
"You got that right!" says a voice from behind them.
Everyone turned around to see Seth and Leona already there with them.
"This area of the deli is a disgrace! I have never seen such untidy conditions in all my years of inspecting! We're going to have to shut you down!" Seth says sternly to everyone.
"Dammit…" Iori mumbles under his breathe, pounding his fist against the wall at the same time, hard enough to bash a hole into it.
"Hey, what's that?" Goenitz says, pointing to the hole.
Out of the hole Iori just made, the same giant snake Yamazaki bought earlier shot out of it, and began attacking Seth and Leona.
"AHH! SNAKES! GET THEM OFF!" Leona yells as she and Seth ran around the building in a panic trying to shake the snake off of them. When that failed, both inspectors eventually ran out of the deli, screaming down the street.
"Well…that takes care of them…" Billy says.
"Yeah, but they'll be back soon to shut us down anyways," Iori grumbles, leaning against the hole he just made and sighing.
Suddenly, there was a series of crumbling noises. Seconds later, the entire building began shaking.
"What's going on?" Billy asks, looking around to see everything around then starting to give away.
"IT'S GONNA COLLAPSE!" Yamazaki shouts. "RUN!"
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME TWICE!" Iori quickly responds.
All four men make a break toward the exit. Once outside of the building, they witnessed the entire deli crumble to the ground in a heaping pile of rubble.
The deli was gone for good.
"How the hell did that happen?!" Billy asks, standing aghast to what just happened.
"That building must have been really old. Also, the countless damages inflicted upon it, and Iori bashing his fist against the wall must have finally made the building give-away," Goenitz speculates.
"Well, what now?!" Yamazaki says to Iori.
Iori walks past them and made his way down the street, a very angry and frustrated look on his face.
"Gonna take my frustration out on Kyo. That'll make me feel better," Iori says, walking into the sunset.
