Banshaku no Ryuugi (The Style of the Evening Drink / Evening Drink Style / 晩酌の流儀)

The end of an uneventful night

The light of your apartment beckons me to come in

In between drinks, please stay

Welcome home, your voice caressing me.

Hey, I won't tell anyone

This is one man's game

The time I loved you too much

We don't meet much anymore...

Oh, you don't know

This is my style

I'm already drunk, pinching away my fatigue,

and enjoying all the happiness I can get

I worked up a sweat,

I drank you dry

Evening Drink Style

Episode 4

How can we make

the last drink of the day taste the best?

This drama is the story of one woman

who relentlessly pursues it.

Now, it's all good with the cabbage.

After watching the drama,

I'm sure you'll start drinking too...

I'm going now.

So, we will be renting out the new room again.

Thank you very much.

If you don't mind, please have some tea. It's hot out today.

- Thank you. - Well, go ahead.

But I'm sorry, I can't drink right now.

Golden rule to prep for the evening drink #1.

After 3:00 p.m., drink as little as possible.

Looking for residents

Finished a little early, to walk two stations to the office.

Golden rule to prep for the evening drink #2.

If work finish early, go for a walk back to the office.

Yes, one moment, please!

When can I see the apartment on 3-chome?

Golden rule to prep for the evening drink #3.

Whenever there is a chance, move the body even at the office.

This is all for the sake of being in perfect condition for the evening drink.

Today I was able to do a full course.

Looks like I'll have a great drink.

What?! You haven't made the city map yet?

- Deadline is next month, right? - No, they moved it up a month.

- Did I not tell you? - No, you didn't.

- Huh... - What is it?

The handmade map we distribute here... deadline is supposed to be next month.

- When are we handing that out? - Tomorrow.

- What? - Oh, because...

I've already told HQ... It's not good...

Ahh... Will this affect our branch's evaluation overall?

Shimamura, Aoi, can you stay here for a bit?

- Well, I'm fine with it. - I have some time before my evening plans.

But! I don't know if the three of us can make it.

Thank you for your hard work.

Miyuki! Please!

You being here at this time would be like having a hundred men!

I... I can't.

I’m begging you!

Ah, well. Okay?

When I beg someone like this, I usually get down on my knees,

but I just had this suit dry-cleaned.

But it'll only take half an hour!

Okay... I understand!

Only half an hour, okay?

First, let's pick up what we should put up.

Stations, hospitals, police boxes, schools, kindergartens, supermarkets,

convenience stores, restaurants.

We also need some stylish sundry stores.

- Shimamura, you draw the map. - Okay.

- Aoi, please check for other info. - Okay.

The longer I work overtime, the less time I have to prepare my evening drink...

I will complete this job in record time!

- Okay, it's done! - That's amazing, Mr. Shimamura!

- I didn't know you had this talent! - Nice work.

Thank you.

Well, that's about right...

Well then, I'll...

We also needed a map for the next station!

- What?! - Huh?!

Miyuki, give us another 30 minutes, please!

I beg of you!

I'll have you repay this debt in some way.

I promise!

Aoi and I will check info for the next station,

so Shimamura, draft a map for now. - Okay.

- Well then, I'll just... - Huh? Where are you going?

Ah... just do it. I'll be right back!

Hey, are you hungry? Let's have a delivery.

- Nice idea! - Yeah.

- Then why not use Umer Eats? - Oh.

- I'm hooked on it lately! - Oh... Nice.

Ms. Miyuki, want something to eat?

Oh... me? Well, I'll pass...

What? Are you sure? Are you not hungry?

Girl, I'm starving to death!

I live every day looking forward to my evening drink at the end of the day.

I can't give up now!

I have loads of leftover curry at home, so I'm fine...

- I understand. - Yeah.

Mr. Shimamura, is it okay if I order for you?

- I leave you to it. - Good!

What is this? What is this smell?

Is that... ginger?

Good evening. Umer Eats!

- Yes, over here! - Thanks!

Sorry for the wait.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Here are your orders. - Thank you!

Okay...

Looks delicious!

I was right to choose ginger pork bowl!

Let's eat!

Mmm!

Yum.

At such a time of hunger, they had ginger pork in front of me...

Is this a new form of torture?

But why did you pick ginger pork bowl?

Beef bowls are the most popular type of rice bowl,

but I prefer ginger pork.

I think ginger pork deserves more recognition.

- Yes, that's right! - What?

Nothing...

I sympathized so much that I couldn't help speaking out...

Garlic?

Ta-da!

They were selling gyoza too, so I just...

Oh, it's just gyoza and beer...

Looks delicious!

Gyoza and beer?!

Come on, let's take a break!

Right? Let's take a break!

- Thank you. - Sorry, Branch Manager.

It's a long night too...

Cheers!

- It's so good! - That hits the spot!

Have one too, Miyuki.

- So good! - Mmm.

- Spicy. - Mmm! The gyoza is delicious!

- It's so good! - Delicious!

You know,

vinegar and pepper are good for gyoza.

- Oh, is that so? - Yeah.

I felt a feeling of murderous intent welling up inside me right now.

So good!

On the right is a ginger pork bowl.

- Spicy! - So good.

To the left, I see gyoza...

In front of me, beer...

What on earth should I do...

That's right, I'll just close my eyes!

Closing my eyes, in turn, makes my sense of smell more sensitive.

All right. Let's pinch the nose, too.

- Hey, what's Ms. Miyuki doing? - Don't know.
