In this story, an aeroplane named Seven is using a secret energy source. But the assistant engineer might know what it is. 
This is Part 3 of 5. 

It was 12:00pm and Seven was playing cards with Zack the pilot in their hangar.
 
Seven picked up a few cards and slammed five down on the table. “Once again, I’m winning, Zack. When will you ever learn? You can’t beat me—Hah!” 

Zack, looking frustrated, said, “Next time I’ll beat you. I’m going to practice online. You’ll see. Next time.” 

Tobee arrived for work and went straight to the office. He noticed the security camera system was blinking, alerting some kind of action needed. Tobee took care of it and turned to exit the office. 

But what was this? In front of him there were several huge barrels labelled ‘7-Up’. Tobee thought that it was illegal to use 7-Up. He understood it was a cheaper fuel source, but he believed it wasn’t worth the risk. Tobee believed in the government’s decision to ban 7-Up as a fuel source. 

Tobee stepped out into the main hangar and confronted Zack. 

“Boss? There are seven giant barrels of 7-Up in the office. Have you been giving it to Seven? You know that’s illegal, right? Why are you doing this? You’re risking your entire business.” 

Zack looked undeniably suspicious and worried. He struggled to speak confidently and said, “Oh that… that’s left over from my son’s 14th birthday party last week. Want some?” 

Tobee said, “Uh… okay. But… I’m a bit… hurt that you didn’t invite me…” 

Zack laughed nervously. “Yes… I only just invited family and friends… Sorry, Tobee. Maybe next time. Uhh, feel free to take some home if you want.” 

As Tobee left the main hangar, Seven whispered to Zack, “Phew, that was a close one. Thankfully he bought it.” 

Tobee didn’t believe Zack’s improvised story, but he tried to play along. He didn’t want Zack catching onto him. Tobee thought that he’d discover the truth for himself.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの26回目です。すっかり暑くなりました。最近は雨の日が多いですが、気温は高く、毎日Tシャツを着ています。今年も大阪は、いきなり暑くなったので、春はあまり感じられませんでした。記事の下書きもようやく終わりました。昨日は知り合いに誘われたので、二時間だけクラブに行きました。ああいう場所は招待で入ると無料なのでいいですね。知り合いの人はDJをやっています。

Hello. This is episode 26 of my podcast. It is nearly summer and it is hot everyday. It's been raining a lot lately, but the temperature is high and I wear a T-shirt everyday. This year, the temperature in Osaka increased suddenly, so I didn't feel like there was a spring. I have finally finished drafting my article. Yesterday I went to a club for two hours because someone I met online invited me. Places like that are nice because it's free if you enter by invitation. That person is a DJ.

あと、昨日は歯医者に行きました。ようやく、矯正している歯が動いてきました。7月ぐらいには終わるだろうと言われました。矯正は、ブラケットをつけるだけで終わると思っていましたが、実際は、何回も歯医者に行かなければいけません。歯医者に行って、ワイヤーを取り替えたり、歯を削ったりします。

Also, I went to the dentist yesterday. Finally, the teeth I'm having straightened have started to become straighter, and the dentist told me it should be done by about July. I thought the braces would be done just by putting the brackets on, but in fact I have to go to the dentist several times. I have to go to the dentist to get the wires changed, and to have my teeth ground.

日本の歯医者はほとんど民営です。「民営」とは、国ではなく、個人がしているビジネスのことです。国がしているビジネスは「国営」といいます。たとえば、日本の郵便局は国営でしたが、2007年に民営になりました。歯医者は民営ですが、国の保険が使えます。日本には国民保険があり、治療費は3割しか払わなくていいです。70歳以上は2割、75歳以上は1割です。無料ではありませんが、安いです。でも、矯正は保険が使えません。
