Sascha: What do you do?
Kochi： I go for a walk, or I go to a bakery and buy some food.
Sascha: It’s nice to have a sense of life.
Kochi： I’m a person with a lot of lifestyles (laughs). (laughs) There are many days when I waste the morning and think, “What a waste of a day.
Neuhaus： I understand.
Kochi： I start cleaning in the morning and do everything I can. Then I go to sleep for about 30 minutes around 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. That’s the best day off.
Sascha： So you are going to sleep after that.
Kochi： I have to work later today, so I don’t have much time to sleep.
Sascha: That’s right. Sascha： That’s right, but you are in a great mood right now.
Kochi： I woke up in high spirits, ate breakfast, finished this, had a little lunch, and then went to work in the afternoon (laughs).

Surprisingly, Kochi seemed to be happy when he learned the news.

Kochi： I have been following the anime since last year. Actually, I haven’t caught up yet.
Sascha： “Thank you for taking a break” kind of thing?
Kochi： Yes!　You took a break so I could have time to catch up. I just finished Big Mamu and entered Wanokuni.
Sascha：We are finally in Wanokuni.
Kochi： I just entered there when I heard this news. I thought, “Thank you very much, this vacation is a month for me” (laughs).

Sascha: It will be released on August 6, so I just have to catch up by then.
Kochi： That’s why I am conflicted. I’m working hard on “One Piece” right now, so I’m like, “If I work hard today, I’ll watch “One Piece” and go to bed! Something like that.
Neuhaus: (laughs).
Sascha： That’s right.
Kochi: That’s right.
Sascha: That’s okay. If I don’t watch Mr. Matsumura’s drama for a while.
Kochi: No, no!　But it’s difficult to weigh “One Piece” and Hokuto’s drama……!
Sascha: (laughs).
Neuhaus： I have to wake up early in the morning for morning activities.
Kochi： You’re right, you should watch it in the morning activities.
