Heaven (Gokuraku Restaurant / ～ご苦楽レストラン～)

Don't wander around.

I'm sorry.

The Poiré is ready.

Yes.

"One month ago. Loin D'Icy opened."

"It happened in the middle of nowhere."

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

"The story of a Jinx."

This is Isaki poiré.

It smells good.

Ah! Hey! Chef... Chef!

The only customer is the owner.

This restaurant will be ruined.

Excuse me.

Why I am the only one working?

Old people have trouble working standing up.

The only guest is the owner.

Isn't it a problem that it's only the owner?

As it is now, we have no customers.

It's a struggle in my heart and chest.

How about doing an accounting calculation of the customers?

It's not zero customers. Yesterday we had one customer.

Stone shop owner, Haze-san.

You mean Suzuki-San.

"Hmmm. Do you want to try it?"

"Okay! Iga-kun. Plate."

It's true that he was there.

But if you're just talking to the owner and listening to her stories all the time...

It's just a matter of time, until he stops coming.

Excuse me. Iga-kun.

Yes.

Call the chef.

What does the owner need?

Chef. Your cooking has no punch!

I'm sorry.

Eh? But you ate everything.

I didn't say that I didn't like it.

But it has no punch.

It feels like it doesn't have enough salt.

Oh, customers said the same thing the other day.

"Isn't the taste lacking something?"

"Hmm, I wonder if all the salt is gone."

"I'm sorry."

"Believe in yourself."

"Right, because of us."

"I am a fan of the chef."

If a chef becomes pessimistic, it will affect the taste of the food.

But for a chef. That is fatal.

The customers need a little special feeling.

I'm asking for that... So they come to the restaurant.

The owner always says something like that.

It´s finally collapsing...

Are you scared of having fewer customers?

There are too many restrictions in this restaurant.

I want to use caviar to finish this."

"Caviar!? Impossible!"

"This is 3 yen higher than the supermarket in front of the station!"

There is no freedom at all for the price of a tomato.

Any tomato is okay.

A genius who worked in seven restaurants.

You are a chef of a former 3-stars restaurant.

But why is a three-star chef in this restaurant?

There were a lot of things going on.

But if you are such a great chef.

Even if this restaurant closes. You can find a job right away.

No…

I won't let it be closed.

What if we serve lunch too?

In lunch we can rotate the ingredients.

If at lunch it goes well, the customers will also come at night.

No!

Why?

If you drink at noon, it will make you worse at night.

It's always about the drinks.

I'm also against lunch! It's impossible to get up early in the morning.

Please let's have lunch to get more customers.

Instead of lunch let's be open until late at night!

We are already open until midnight.

Maybe we need to be known first?

Anyway, let's do more publicity.

So if we sell our concept to the mass media and get interviewed.

It is absolutely useless!

I want to compete honestly.

"The competition is already on."

Can I say one thing?

Does the owner want to compete honestly?

Of course.

Ah, surely you can't...

Doodle on the menu.

Shut up, young man..

Iga-kun, after I finish writing please make copy for me.

What's it that? Is that possibly a flyer?

Let's give this to those who eat late at night.

Uh, nowadays there are still flyers?

And i'll arrange it for you....

Okay, it's done, Iga-kun.

So, let's aim to give them away at the ballet and the people returning from the concert.

Apparently, this map was redrawn.

Leave it to me. In the 1st grade, I took a test for travel geography.

Is it related to the map?

You can't fight Jinx with raw luck.

You'll lose to Jinx.... If you are so pessimistic.

Jinx?

I will not tell.

Is such a flyer really effective?

Wow, it's dangerous.

- A little... - Wait!

What are you doing?

Eh? Where is it?

Eh? Where is it?

It was effective.

Right?

The oven is okay.

It worked but it was...

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Order please? What would you like?

Well then... I want lemon sour.

Eh? Yes... 4 servings.

- I want plum sour. -Yes? Plum sour?

Can we drink as much as we like?

No. I'm sorry.

Aah? You are a good-looking guy.

Finally. I found it, please.

What is this? Are Hotoke dishes foreign cuisine?

Not Hotoke, but France.

Don't you have chopsticks?

Wait a minute.

Thank you very much.

Miki-san. What happened?

Ah. Ah...

I'm sorry... I'm going home now.

And me too.

I'm sorry.

I'll definitely be going to another restaurant.

Me too...

Another restaurant...

What can we do with the regular customers that are not coming back?

Where the hell did you give out the flyers?

At a concert venue.

At a Rekugo event.

Professional Wrestling match venue.

I gave them to people hanging out in the park late at night.

Why only those people came to our restaurant?

But many guests arrived.

Do you think that people will come to this restaurant again?

They will not come.

By the way, how many reserves for tomorrow?

Zero.

I can not escape the Jinx.

Jinx?

Everyone!

Can I leave the chef suffering?

No. He will be in trouble.

What do we think we can do for the chef now?

Iga-kun?

What?

What do you think?

Iga-Kun!

Well...

Do we increase customers?

No.

Chef has a salt problem, right?

Let's get his confidence back.

It's a recent restaurant.

If you look at it from this location, it's not going to be exactly a rival.

It's less than half of the 6-minute walk from the station to our restaurant.

The most important thing is not the location... But the taste.

Even those who taste...

Can this reconnaissance really restore the chef's confidence?

Of course, my strategy is this.

After eating food from popular restaurants.

If the chef's spirit is down, we lift it up.

I don't like it.

The chef's food, after all...

It is the best!

The chef is the best!

Yo! Japan's best!

Marvelous! Marvelous!

Let's go! Let's go!

He will regain his confidence.

We all can do reconnaissance. Two birds with one stone and you are a hundred times more confident than salty.

Let's start the reconnaissance.

Oh!

I just don't want to do it, after all.

What?

Eh? Why?

When you find out that your peers have come, there is a strange tension.

The employees will not be themselves.

In other words, you don't want to be scouting?

Isn't it okay if you don't give it a name?

I know. By the look in your eyes and the way you order.

No, I have already made a reservation.

Yes.
