Riko's eyes lit up with excitement. He had been searching for this particular episode with French subtitles for weeks, and finally, his quest was about to end. A few minutes later, Mr. Tanaka returned with a DVD in hand.

"Here you go! The third episode of 'Hatsukoi Monster' in VOSTFR. Would you like to purchase it, or perhaps you're interested in our special subscription service where you can access a wide range of anime and manga titles for a monthly fee?" Mr. Tanaka asked.

"Ah, 'Hatsukoi Monster'! That's a great choice. We actually have the complete series, including the third episode you're looking for, in VOSTFR. It's one of our rarer items, but I think I can find it for you," Mr. Tanaka exclaimed, disappearing into the stacks.
