Dagashi Kashi (だがしかし)

Who's that woman?

See you later!

Be careful!

Endo... Hey, Endo!

Are you asleep?

"See you later"...

-"See you later," she said?!

--Saya! --"See you later," she said?!

Unforgivable...!

Hey, Coconuts. Let's play games at my place today.

Sure.

Okay, then. Let's go home, Saya.

Sorry, I have something to do today. Um, I've got after-school activities!

Huh...?

Wait, you have after-school activities...?

I must ascertain...

...the identity of that woman.

If she's a conniving woman tricking Coconuts into

letting her stay with him, I have to save him.

If that's really the case...

--both his body and soul could belong to that woman by now.

"You can call me Mommy."

--You can call me Mommy. --both his body and soul could belong to that woman by now.

"You can call me Mommy." "Mommy!"

Mommy!

I'm kinda curious...

Wait, no! I'm not gonna allow that!

Hey! I'm coming in!

Is she asleep?

Err... Hello?

Yeeees! I wasn't asleep!

Ow! I banged my head pretty good!

A-A customer!

Welcome!

I was finally able to say it... I started to think no one would ever come.

"W-Welcome"?

Hm? Oh, are you possibly Manager Kokonotsu's acquaintance?

Kinda...

I'm Hajime Owari! I'm a new part-time worker here!

A part-timer?

Kokonotsu said that he wanted someone to watch the shop while he is at school.

A part-timer?!

That asshole! Hiring a part-timer when he's got me...?!

On top of that, he hires a woman?!

Kokonotsu sure has it tough, doesn't he?

What? You're leaving?

You came all the way here. Please buy something.

I didn't come here to buy anything, so...

What? Oh, then you came to see the manager?

Ah! Are you his girlfriend by any chance?

Wh-What? No... Does it look that way? It's not like that, but...

...does it look that way to you?

"Shikada Dagashi"

Well, I did come all the way here, so I might as well buy something!

Let's see... A snack that'd be perfect for his girlfriend...

This! This one's good!

"Roll Candy"

This is Roll Candy! Thirty-five yen!

What kind of snack is it?

The manager said, "It seems that this one is pretty popular these days."

He's dedicated to work, isn't he?

Err... Thanks!

Oh? You're opening it now, huh?

Um...

This thing is totally rolled up...

What the heck is this?

I wonder if you just eat the whole thing in one bite.

Huh?

What? Is this paper-like thing edible?

Maybe not, huh?

You work here, don't you?! You should know this stuff!

I'm sorry, but today is my first day, so...!

Wait! By that argument, you're close to the manager! You should know it, too, right?!

It's true we're close, but...

Argh, screw it! I guess we just have to unroll it!

Ready?!

Yes!

Th-There it is!

And it even looks like you can peel the candy off!

Good thing you didn't eat the paper.

I get it! I figured out how to eat it!

So grab this part...

Hm? What?!

Bite the edge of it...

Right!

And I'll hold this end.

Are you ready?

Mm-hmm!

Hiya!

We did it...

We did.

But you could've done it by yourself, huh?

Yeah, I could have.

I'm back.

Oh, you're here too, Saya? Welcome.

Welcome back, Manager.

How was your first day?
