Goodbye, Lara (さよならララ)

Lara Otsu

Lara-chan.

You're not doing anything while Mari is at school.

It cost 100,000 yen to replace that window you broke.

A hundred thousand...?

And yet...

Strawberry Daifuku

And then they said...

Yeah?

Get a job. It's a house rule.

A rule?! I didn't know about that!

It was just implemented.

Mari! This goes for you, too!

You wanted your allowance to go up, right?

I want the Earpods Pro.

What's wrong with your earphones?

I want the new ones.

I don't care!

If you want them, earn the money yourself!

But... am I capable of working?

It's not all bad.

I met my wife while I was working.

Really?

Then will I be able to meet my prince, too?

Dunno.

I'll do it!

I'll...

Get a job!

You two were up pretty late getting this together.

Why should we hire you? I applied because I agree with the company mission statement. I want to work hard and learn the basics of customer service.

This was her first time writing.

I helped her write every single thing, and it took until dawn.

Well, nothing wrong with putting in the effort.

But now, this is where it really begins.

I'm Mari Otsu, and I'm in high school.

I'm Lara. A princess of the Royal Family!

I'd like to prioritize my club, so I'm looking to work once a week...

Have I ever worked? Never in my life!

The higher the pay, the better.

What I'm good at? You want to know?

I'm really good at identifying starfish...

It feels like nobody wants me to work.

I thought they'd hire me at least.

Don't give up. There are lots more places.

There are a ton of jobs out there.

There has to be a job that's perfect for you, Lara-chan and Mari.

By the way, Makoto-san, do you work?

Mari.

Show her.

This is my work equipment.

That's for your work?

It's a job where I just press that button.

What? That's a lie!

How could there be a job that easy?

Try it out, Lara-chan.

This one's easier to use.

Since you're not a professional, you won't make any money...

But if you press that shutter button,

you can capture the scenery in front of you in a photograph.

You can't delete any failed ones like you can on a smartphone, though.

Give it a shot and snap what you want.

Is that a castle?!

I'm pretty sure that's a cake shop.

Cake?

I want to try baking cakes!

And besides...

maybe I can meet my prince at a lovely place like that!

Office

I see. You're applying together?

Yes!

That's the spirit.

So why did you choose us?

I chose to apply because I love sweets!

I'll work harder than anyone in the world!

A lot of people end up quitting if it's just something they like.

Do you have any work experience?

I've never gotten a callback from an interview.

How many interviews have you done?

About twenty...

Twenty? You should've heard from at least one of them.

That makes it hard to believe you'll really work harder than anyone.

O-Oh, yeah!

I-I also...

I also agree with the company mission statement...

One of my strengths is that I never give up.

So, my flaw is that I am stubborn, and if I were to describe myself...

I'm a well-oiled creature, like a squid or something...

I... I...

I'm willing to die for cake!

How about you?

I'm not willing to die.

All right.

Well then, let's get started.

Mari-san, you'll be out on the floor with me.

Lara-san, you'll be in the kitchen.

Yes!

Your lockers are there.

Lara

I'm willing to die for cake!

Mari Otsu

Mari...

What does that say?

"I'm willing to die for cake."

Amazing!

I get to learn how to make cake here!

Hey, hey!

Lara-chan, you're over here.

First, you'll start out with the dishes.

I don't make cake?

Doing the dishes is a vital part of the cake-making process.

I see!

I'll do my best!

There are still more dishes on their way!

Manager!

What's up?

I'd like to learn how to make cake now.

I told you that doing the dishes is a vital part of the process.

But... it's just so exhausting.

That's right. That's the job.

Work is torture.

Don't worry about the manager. He's not that friendly.

Torture...?

It piled up all nicely again!

You've got this, Lara-chan!

What on earth am I doing?

Exactly my thought.

Don't forget about the trial you're meant to face.

So? Do you think you can find your prince?

I'm not too sure.

Could be one of the customers.

Who knows?

Andeken

Good morning!

What are we—

It's really good!

You're a genius.

Manager!

I want to learn how to make cake!

It seems like you're having so much fun.

Is that a problem?

You told me that work is torture.

Work isn't torture. It's something fun... just for today.

Just for today?

If you want to help, I'll let you.

Manager...

You're in trouble, Lara-chan.

You'll help me out until the new product is complete.

We'll be making a peach tart.

All right.

Peel this one.

I want to use this one instead.

With cream, it's all about the right mixture.

This isn't right.

This isn't right at all.
