Fruits Delivery Service (Furutsu Takuhaibin / フルーツ宅配便)

Let's see...

Melon-san!

What, Ume? That's Ume-san, huh?

Okay, this one I know...

Mikan-san.

This one is Ichigo-san.

Yes, I got it right.

Say, Misuji-san...

How many girls are working here right now?

Right now we should have almost 30.

We're almost on the verge of running out of fruit names.

Almost 30?

And they're all actually working here?

Of course!

Dummy attendance would be considered fraud.

Dummy attendance?

Faking the number of workers employed.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

I see.

It's just that I have yet to meet some of them.

Thanks.

For example... Huh, what's this?

This dragon fruit... Dragon fruit!?

She doesn't even have a picture.

That's a special one. She rarely comes to work.

I haven't yet met her either.

Really?

Good morning.

Okay, quiz time: Who is this?

Momo! She's Momo-san!

You sure remember them beauties.

No, why would you...

That's not what I'm...

She's got that appearance to her, you know.

You wouldn't expect her to work in the sex industry.

You think so?

What? So the other girls give you the impression of sex workers?

Why would you say it that way?

That's not what I'm trying to say here.

- Momo-chan, let's take a picture. - That's too much mayonnai...

I'm coming, I'm coming!

I'm coming.

I had a job interview the other day.

Did you? Please, come in.

I really want to work here! Please!

I see. When can you start?

- Today. - Today?

- You're that hard-pressed for money? - Yes.

I want to get plastic surgery, so I need the money.

- Got it. - Thank you so much!

Episode 02: Momo & Suika

I signed it.

Your professional name will be...

- Suika is free, so Suika it is. - Okay~

- Mizuko-chan. - Okay.

Okay, Suika-chan.

I'll show you how this works, so come with me.

Okay.

- It's your first time in the sex industry, right? - Yes, it's my first time.

That girl definitely has a "delicate" face, huh?

How should I put it...

I don't want to say she's straight up ugly.

Although she's straight up ugly.

- Don't say that, Misuji-san. - What do you think, Masakane?

Like the bottom of a stone in a dry river bed?

Enough now, that's rude.

Suika is our merchandise.

We have to stay objective for the sake of our customers.

Calling them our merchandise...

Then, would she make you shoot your load?

If it's about shooting my load, I probably wouldn't be able to shoot.

- You should. - Why do I...

- She's our merchandise after all. - Telling me I should...

I overheard it before... You want plastic surgery?

Yes.

You don't get to live a good life unless you're beautiful.

That's why I want to become more beautiful

and meet the man of my dreams.

What kind of man would that be?

Someone who is rich, owns a private jet

and can take me to the moon.

Wow, I'm sure you'll find him one day.

As if that's even possible.

I also want to get plastic surgery.

Lemon too?

What do you want to get fixed?

The eyes.

You want double eyelids?

I want one additional eye up here.

Scary...

Momo-san, you don't seem to have anything you'd like to get fixed, right?

No, it's never crossed my mind.

- Momo-san, you were selected by Yamaguchi-san. - Okay.

No way! He usually requests for me!

- You got replaced? - Does he?

It's the third time he requested me, though.

It's all about being pretty after all.

Momo-chan...

It's always been bothering me, you know.

Can't you be a bit more cheerful when you're serving a customer?

You're such a beautiful woman.

It's a shame, really.

It's crucial for customer satisfaction.

Being energetic is key, no matter which occupation.

Okay.

Alright, let's try to be more lively today. Okay?

Momo-chan... Momo-chan, hurry!

We'll do it twice today. Twice!

I'm counting on you~

Momo-chan~

I'm home.

Welcome back.

You're late again today.

There's just too much overtime these days.

- Dinner will be ready soon. - I'll eat later.

I want to cleanse by body first.

- What? - You can just take a bath.

What's with the "cleansing my body"?

Well, you're right.

Burn an incense stick for your father before taking a bath.

Father, I'm sorry for everything.

Momo-chan? If I remember correctly, she got scammed.

Scammed?

Her previous workplace must have been pretty terrible.

Miura-san, do you have a minute?

Sure.

Could you fill this out, please?

That's a credit card, right?

Our company is cooperating with this credit card.

We want to make one for every employee.

See, me too.

We get the cards made, but they'll be kept safe at the company.

Don't worry.

I understand.

But as soon as she signed it, the company skipped town.

Apparently they took out a loan on her name.

That's awful.

I forgot.

I'd go mad if someone took out a loan on my name.

- Sakita-san. - Yes?

Misuji-san wants to get this delivered.

He does?

What is it?

He said you must not look inside.

Say, what kind of person is Misuji-san anyway?

You're better off not knowing.

Oh, Sakita!

Misuji-san, here.

You looked inside?

Nah, I was told by Masakane-kun not to look inside.

- And you really didn't look inside? - That's right.

Here Daichan, for you.

Thank you very much, Misuji-san.

- Want me to make you a drink? - No, I'm fine.

Sakita, do you know this guy?

Motoki-san?

Former player of the Giants, Motoki Daisuke.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

How do you know each other?

I've been indebted to Misuji-san ever since my active career.

It's not that big of deal!

More importantly, he started coaching this year.

That's amazing.

By the way, what's your favorite team?

I'm a Carp's...

I'm a Giants fan, of course.

- You just said Carp. - Maybe you should leave now.

You're right, I should. Oh right, before I forget.

It's about Momo-san...

Is it true that she got scammed into some huge debt?

Didn't I already tell you?

Don't get involved in their private matters.

You did.

Go home.

Excuse me.

Which reminds me, what happened to your ramen shop?

- It went bankrupt. - I'm sorry.

Motoki, of all people...

Yes, hello?

- Sorry for keeping you from your home time. - Nah, it's absolutely fine.

I've been in the mood to drink anyway.

- Really? Let's drink then. - Let's.

He's here. Over here!

Sakita! Long time no see!

- Oda-chin! - Don't be so distant!

Not even giving me call, you bastard!

- This is exactly why! - Don't you dare say that!

Excuse me, your peach sour.

Well then.

Cheers! x3

Damn, it's so good!

What's wrong? Why are you crying?

You know, I sold three copy machines today!

- I worked hard! - I see, you've become a working adult.

- Must be tough, huh? - Emi here got it way harder than me.

- It's not really... - Working as a caregiver,

she's got one of the harshest jobs, yet she never complaints!

She's amazing unlike me who keeps on grumbling.

So? What kind of work do you do?
