Mondai no Aru Restaurant (問題のあるレストラン)

Kick!

Monji-kun. It's dangerous falling asleep with a knife in hand.

This is a directive from the main office for a new menu.

- Excuse me? - Lately,

sales have been down, so I guess they're telling us to step it up.

- Yes? - Oh, it's already 7:00, you know.

I didn't finish cleaning up until 3:00 yesterday.

I'm sorry to hear that. This way please.

Excuse me.

Good morning~. Morning has arrived.

Good morning. Wake up, please.

It's a beautiful morning. Oh, what a beautiful day.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Chika-chan, good morning.

Excuse me. Please bring all the boxes in here.

If you could just stack them up around here.

No, this is my room.

You can call me Onee-chan (big sister) if you want.

- Okay, everyone. Good morn...oops. - Excuse me.

Wait a minute. I don't hear anything. Good morning.

- Good morn... - Yes, good morning.

I'll be living here from today.

I'm Kawana Airi. Originally from Akita, 26 years old.

My birthday is May 5th (boys' day), but I'm a girl.

Same sex peers tend to dislike my personality, but

I'd like to get along with everyone here.

My favorite foods are deep water shrimp and pickled Okinawa shallots.

My favorite home appliance is a dryer. My hobbies are karaoke and

saying things like this guys gets on my nerves while watching TV.

The place I've been to overseas is Guam.

I came down with the flu as soon as I got there.

Anyway, I think you'll learn more about me gradually, so

everyone, please don't be shy and feel free to take interest in me.

Next, I'd like to ask every one to introduce themselves.

Let's start with Tanaka-san.

I'm Tanaka Tamako. My least favorite thing is getting up early.

Okay, next. Um... - I'm Oshima...

- Nitta-san. - I'm Nitta Yumi.

My least favorite thing is having to listen to unnecessary information from early in the morning.

Okay, next. Uh...

Never mind.

All right then, let's roll up our sleeves!

The basics of a cheater is calling other girls by their first name.

You have to nip your boyfriend's cheating in the bud.

Oh, are those snow flakes? How cute.

Once a leaf start growing, that's as good as the cheating flower blooming.

Your cheeks are so soft. So cute.

Chika-chan, Chika-chan. Chika-chan.

Your friends are here. Your friends are here. Your friends are here.

They're not my friends.

Is it a meetup? Meetup?

One for you. One for you.

One for you. And one for you. Attention please.

I speak to you as the head of Public Relations. The important thing is word of mouth.

The quota is 100 per person. Family, relatives, friends,

people you happen to make eye contact with. Please hand them out to anyone and everyone.

You got that?

I can't hear you.

What's the deal with this household of Tanaka Tamako-san's

- big family special. - I love living with lots of people.

That's something I don't like. When you're living alone,

you hear this pishi noise once in a while. Pishi.

You do that pishi sound pretty well.

I'm going to brush my teeth before it gets crowded in there.

I think she's just nervous.

Well, I've got to say she's quite a talker, but

she's certainly a hard worker too.

And she hits it off right away with the customers.

She'll be an asset to us.

- Eavesdropping isn't good, though. - Huh? What did you just say?

- Can you say that one more time? - Uh...

This past week through today,

every day,

we were in the black.

We're definitely getting more customers.

That's great!

Probably, right now...

Actually, I'm not sure, but, perhaps right now,

right now, around this general area,

the god of opportunity is trying to pass by.

But they say the god of opportunity

only has forelock, right?

He's supposed to be bald in the back. So as soon as you think...

he's here!

You have to grab on to his forelock.

If we can put a little more effort into something,

the forelock

would be in our grasp, I think.

There's a good wind blowing. There's a good wind pushing our back.

Bistro Fou. Let's go for it.

Good night.

Chika-chan, Chika-chan.

Sleep with Onee-chan. Let's sleep...

To Chika. From Mama. I'm going to be moving to Hokkaido in the spring. There's something I want to discuss with you. Can we meet?

Fujimura Satsuki-sama

Fujimura Satsuki-sama It's been a while. Actually, I started a restaurant...

I decided to to take a video and upload it to promote our restaurant.

- Please say something funny. - Something funny?

Something funny that would make people laugh out loud

and make them happy and make the video go viral.

Do you have anything?

Sanzenin-san.

Chef, Chef, Chef, Chef, Chef, Chef, Chef.

Chef, what are you making?

An omelette.

What does it taste like? Please express it in way

that would make the video go viral.

This is pot-au-few with potatoes, cabbage, and thick sliced bacon.

Fry the bacon until it's nice and brown.

Add onions, carrots, and celery.

And simmer for 30 minutes.

Add potatoes and cabbage, and wait 20 minutes.

And there you have a pot-au-few that warms you to the bottom of your heart.

We're looking forward to seeing you here.

Okay, cut. I'm sorry, but I had my eyes closed, so

one more time please.

This isn't something I enjoy talking about, but

we're losing customers.

Every weekend this month,

we'll be launching events geared for the ladies.

Look. Monji-kun. Hey, Monji-kun.

This menu from the main office. Are you working on it?

This crap isn't French.

Listen.

In this day and age, simply serving authentic cuisine doesn't cut it.

You know, that new hire Doumyouji-kun.

He's not living up to his name, is he?

Even though Ikebe-kun was a stalker,

he was good-looking and popular with the ladies.

You know, you're the same type, but

- can you move a little faster? - Okay~.

Excuse me. Can I have a glass of water?

One moment please.

I'll wash.

Haiji-san.

Is it all right if I go out for a while after lunch?

I...I assumed you'd be upstairs.

I thought maybe I should tell you beforehand.

- My name is Terakawa Sousuke. - Tera-san.

I wanted to let you know that we're getting married

so I asked Kanako-san to arrange for this meeting.

Tera-san has a job making missiles.

Kanako-san. It's space rocket.

Rocket? Oh, uh...

He makes something or other for rockets, and he's getting transferred to Hokkaido soon.

Chika-san,

won't you come to Hokkaido with us?

Listen, Chika. I told Tera-san everything.

That I shut myself out from the world.

That I neglected Chika for a long time.

That Chika, who was still a little girl, cooked for me.

Then Tera-san said we should ask you to come with us.

He said Chika should come live with us.

By fall, your little sister or brother will be born.

Won't you come to Hokkaido and live with us as a family?

What do you say, Chika? Let's live together.

Please let me atone for what I did.

I tried my hand at latte art.

This is Tama-chan. This is me.

This is Sanzenin-san. This is Mofuku-chan, and

This is Paaka-chan. This is Ear.

- It looks like them. So cute! - When I was little,

I just loved inarizushi (named for inari, shinto god of foxes) and kitsune (fox) udon.

Look. Haiji-san made latte for us.

Thank you.

So when my parents saw me eating them every day, they got worried

they took me to a shrine to get purified.

Was that already 25 years ago?

I was just a step away from the last boss in Dragon Quest III,

when my saved data disappeared.

I'm feeling a sense of futility right now that I haven't felt since then.

Kawana-san and I went around promoting the restaurant.

Next week, there will be three net-related people coming here.

And, and it's an unusual restaurant so people are quite interested.

Take a look at this. Look at this.

It's Cook Pad's Interview the Chef article.

- There's no way. - Oh, you're back.

That's what I thought, so Sanzenin-san, please do it.

But I'm in the midst of getting a divorce.

No one wants to hear about that. Just talk about food, please.

- Chika-chan, have a latte. - Thank you.

Here.

Here.

- Bacon? - Bacon from Ohtsuki-san's place.

- It's making a big splash right now. - Look, look, look.

Remember when creamy caramel was the trend some time ago?

It's something like that. You can't buy it unless you go to the farm.

If we cash in on this boom, a synergy effect will be produced.

Chika-chan, what do you think? It looks delicious.

- Oh, that's fine with me. - So, so, so...

I'm thinking about starting a catering service on the net.

That's not where it's at, is it?

Things like the net and trend. That's not where it's at, is it?

But the net is convenient.

What's convenient now is bound to become inconvenient sooner or later.

I'm not opposing you just out of spite.

I'm saying this out of concern for the restaurant and you guys.

Is this the pretend to be worried lecture

that the Showa people like to do?

How dare you talk to me like that.
