Rairaiken

It's pretty big on you.

Nah, it's just right.

Everything I wore was big on me.

Looks like you're ready.

Before we start working, I have something to tell you.

Our customers are our gods.

No, I mean, they're godlike people, I guess.

Be polite to our customers.

Speak formally.

Got it.

You mean, "Yes, sir. Understood."

You don't have to do it all the time,

but when we're working, you have to be formal with us, too.

Yes, sir. Understood.

Honey, teach her what she needs to know.

Okay.

Let's start with how to greet customers.

Watch me work for a while first.

I don't have to do anything?

Watching is part of your job, too.

Okay.

I mean, yes, ma'am. Understood.

Rairaiken

Welcome.

Episode 7

Anzu Is a Greeter Now

Thank you.

You don't have to be so tense.

That's too lax.

We don't have any customers right now,

so take the time to look through the menu and learn the dishes.

Yes, ma'am. Understood.

Twice-cooked pork is 800 yen?!

I could buy eight cup noodles for this.

Tissues.

Me, too.

All right, let's have you try it out when a customer comes in.

Yes, sir.

Welcome.

Huh, it's Anzu.

Nitta.

Why are you here?

To eat, of course.

Anzu, formal.

Um...

May I take your order?

Of course, ramen and a side of fried rice.

I'll have twice-cooked pork.

Twice—

You must be quite rich.

Are you insulting me?

Ramen, a side of fried rice, and twice-cooked pork.

All right.

Also, Anzu-chan...

Even though Mom said to be formal, you can act normal towards people you know.

So he's not a godlike person, but just a normal person?

Seriously, are you insulting me?

Here you are.

Why are you here, anyway?

They took me in.

Huh, that's great news.

Pardon me.

Coming.

And she's helping out, huh? Good on her.

She's nothing like Hina.

Shoot.

Don't think about it.

Yum.

Thanks for the food.

Want to try working the register?

Yes, ma'am.

Do it like I did.

Yes, ma'am.

It'll be a whole 1,500 yen!

Okay.

I think you'll find out soon enough, but it's not that big of a deal.

Money

What's up with this girl?

She's seen so much cash, she's gone catatonic.

Rairaiken Chinese Restaurant

Anzu-chan, how're the dishes coming?

Oh, you can throw out the chopsticks.

Aren't we going to wash and reuse them?

No, we aren't.

Oh.

Shige-san taught me we could reuse them if we wash them.

Shoot...

There are all kinds of people inside of you.

Or so I told her, but I think I'm going to end up denying almost all of it.

Rairaiken Chinese Restaurant

Good work today.

Do you think you can keep working?

Yup.

I'll work hard.

I mean, I'll work hard, sir.

We're done with work now. You can stop being formal.

Anzu-chan, the bath's ready.

Go get warmed up.

Okay.

Do you know how to use the shower?

Yeah.

This is cold water.

But I always showered at the park.

I'm fine.

You can use warm water, you know.

I'm free to turn the light on!

I didn't really get it yesterday, but this is my room.

It's like a proper house.

Yassan, Shige-san, everyone...

I'm going to keep working hard...

Anzu

Anzu

Question: Pan means bread, but what kind of can't be eaten?

Other than a frying pan.

A bed and a meal.

That's still eating, though.

Well, whatever.

Cast-iron pan.

Also, panties.

Bingo.

Also, pandas.

Nitta-san!

Bingo.

Nitta-san!

Nitta-san!

You're always sleeping during class!

I've had it!

What are you trying to accomplish at school?

This is why you fail all your tests!

Nitta-san, are you listening?

How dare you make that face?!

It doesn't make me happy to scold you, you know!

I'm scolding you out of tough love!

You'll never find a teacher who's as loving as I am

and trying as hard to nurture you into an upright grown-up!

I did a thing!

More, please.

I need to save some for everyone.

What a Scrooge.

What's wrong with you?!

School is boring.

You're the one who wanted to go.

If school's boring, make an effort to make it fun.

We're going to choose candidates for the student council members.

Speak up in homeroom if you're interested.

Dismissed.

She's drooling again.

Hitomi, you're really proper. You should run for student council.

I could never make it.

You'd have a better chance, Sayo-chan.

You wear glasses, too.

Is that supposed to be a joke?

What's a student council?

Um...

You set budgets and stuff.

And come up with new school rules.

In manga, at least.

So you're the boss of the school.

The person with power.

That's the student council?

Well, the boss is the student council president.

You're talking out your butt.

Oh, come on, it's just Hina.

The person with power...

I'm powerful!

I'm the boss!

I set the rules!

Damn it, I can't oppose the powerful!

Ouch! Ouch!

All right, does anyone want to run for student council?

Uh...

Anyone else?

No one?

Please?

Nitta-san...

Are you crazy?!

O-Okay, Nitta-san is running.

Hina-chan, what's gotten into you?!

I'm going to become the school council president and take power.

Student council president?!

This is all because you talked out your butt, Kengo-kun!

Me?!

Wait, I thought first-years could only become members.

Hang on.

This could be amusing.

Let's let her.

Sayo-chan...

Staff Office

Well, you'll give a speech at the school assembly next week.

Can you handle it?

I got this.

I've never heard such a worrying "I got this" in my whole teaching career.

You have students keen enough in your class to run, huh, Matsutani-sensei?

He just scoffed at me.

Huh?

Hina-chan, what are you writing?

Everyone running for student council has to give a speech.

This is my draft.

"I want sleep without getting scolded."
