Kono Koi Atatamemasuka (Do You Want to Warm Up This Love? / この恋あたためますか)

This is a special cream puff with the company's fortune on the line.

Make me the best selling product everywhere.

Yes, this is Coco Every Customer Service.

I ate a sweet from your store, but...

Thank you very much. How can I help you?

How old are you, Miss?

Huh?

Because I am 21 years old.

I'm sorry, what is this about?

When I was little, my parents were late picking me up

and I'd cry in the corner of the nursery.

Then the nursery school teacher showed me the TV,

and before I knew it, I forgot that I was crying and became obsessed with these idols.

They can make people smile.

They can make you feel better. They can make you happy.

It's amazing,

So I became an idol.

an underground idol.

And then, before you know it,

you find yourself being left behind...

and then one day they told me...

"What do you do when the gum you're chewing on goes out of flavor?"

You're the piece of gum that I kept chewing on.

Our new 16-year-old is now the center.

It's nice to meet you all.

Moa-chan!

Congratulations on graduating Kiki-chan!

Thank you for everything!

Kiki-san, thank you very much for all of your hard work.

- Thank you. - It's gonna be alright, Kiki.

- Kiki-san. - Take care, okay?

Congratulations on graduating.

So, a year later,

They're making their major debut

and performing live in the arena now.

Miss, I don't know what to say. Listen, this is, umm...

I felt like banging my head against the wall and screaming.

But when I

ate this fresh egg and a rich milk with a gentle twin cream sandwich.

I felt a little... just a little bit lighter.

Well, I'll have to eat another

10,000 before I can fully recover.

Um, what is your complaint, after all?

Didn't you listen to me properly, Miss?

Because I was an Ido...

Ah, I'm sorry. Thank you very much.

Huh?

Here's my reaction of the pre-release sweets today!

I'd like to try Allday's First Snow Rare Cheese Tart.

Looks delicious. This is another one from Allday...

Live?

Yeah, you hear that?

It's like walking on a snow-covered street.

That texture...

You know that feeling of first snowfall.

Just the right amount of sweetness on top

of the crispy batter on the bottom.

It's got a little bit of a bumpy texture inside.

It had a crispy tart dough.

Hey, you.

What?

- Hey! - That's an invasion of privacy.

Stop it if you don't want me to take you to court.

- Huh? What's this all of a sudden? - You can't film me without permission.

There's a crazy old man attacking me.

- Don't you worry, people. - People?

There are only four people watching you right now.

- There's no harm in stopping it. - Hey...

Ah! Look, I'm up to 5 people. It could go up to 6 people, though.

- If you don't like that, just move to another seat? - I don't want anyone to see the footage.

I'll delete it.

Please don't do that.

- How do I stop this? - Don't do it! Ah!

That's seriously irritating. What the hell, old man.

Old man, huh?

You just passed by. Back here.

This is the worst. What are you doing here?

Hey, you, is this...

Come on, hurry up.

You're a part-timer here?

Yeah, give it back to me.

This is really annoying.

A while ago, didn't you advertise another convenience store chain's sweets?

Advertise? You mean the reaction?

You didn't touch anything weird in here, did you?

I'm not interested. What the hell do you think you're doing

posting a promotion of a competitor's product?

Huh? It's delicious. What's wrong with tasting something good?

- You're an idiot. - Huh?

Is that why you're an idiot?

I heard you, you know.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's going on?

- Excuse me, is there a problem? - Wait, who's that?

- He's so handsome. - Are you the manager here?

Ah, Yes. My name is Uesugi.

What kind of training do you give to part-time workers?

- That attitude is completely unacceptable. - Ah, I'm sorry.

Listen, I don't mean to sound like a jerk earlier, but...

Hey, Inoue-san. Stop making a scene, okay?

I've even uploaded our sweets on Instagram.

Some of them aren't well-written, like the pudding,

the eggs seem to have changed and the flavor's gone.

But I don't want to lie about what I think, so what's wrong with being honest?

You are dumb and you are wasting my time.

Oh... What's the guy's deal?

He's simply irritating.

So who is he? He's so handsome.

Who? That really? He's just an old man.

ECOTV Presents

Do you

THIS

LOVE?

EPISODE

ONE

This is trash.

You think this will help rebuild it?

That's funny.

It's not a surprise to me that we're trailing the big three and on the verge

of falling to 4th place any time, or down to 5th or 6th place.

What have you guys been doing all this time?

President Asaba, in your words, we have long been overwhelmed

by the poor performance of our parent company, Terada Mart.

And so our business partner, Exazon,

has agreed to bring you in as president.

And you're not happy with it, right?

Not at all. But I didn't think that an online shopping company

like Exazon would offer us a partnership.

E-commerce also means you want

a physical store after all.

We have more experience in sales than you,

and we can help you rebuild the business.

As I was just reading through, there isn't a single

new reform proposal, but all of them are just imitations of the Big Three.

- Huh? - If we make changes to our service, more will be left behind.

Then we change the way we fight.

All the convenience store chains have the same storefronts,

same assortment, same service, nothing interesting about it.

Then we will aim to be a unique convenience store with a different appearance,

variety of products and service,

even though we have the same Coco Every sign.

That's not a good way to establish a brand image.

First, we'll start by developing a product

that will be the centerpiece of the new Coco Every.

- Do you have an appointment? - An appointment? No, I don't have one.

- Even just for a second? No? - You can't go without an appointment.

Eh... No?

- Oh, Taku-ani. - Oh... Shintani, come on in.

Oh, wow! You really are the boss.

I can't believe that Taku-ani would be at Coco Every

for the next 3 or 4 years.

- Three or four years? - That's the extent of your stay here, right?

I heard that's what it's like when they get transferred out.

- I don't plan on being here in three or four years. - Eh? Then what?

I will leave in a year. I'll get results right away.

Ah, so it's that!

- So, help me out a bit. - Eh?

New Product Development The best-selling cream puffs

Cream puff?

It's okay, but I thought you didn't like sweets.

I hate them.

And there's something else.

I thought Taku-ani doesn't bring his personal life into his work, right?

is what you thought I would say.

I'm curious to know why the sweets section is the first thing you get your hands on when you get here.

You're overthinking it.

- Please have a taste. - Please have a taste.

Chief Ichioka, please.

- What have you brought us today? - This one is from Ibaraki factory.

I have purchased 3 products from the line produced

the day before yesterday.

Then let's start with Richie's Cake.

Check this day's oven temperature and baking time

for this dark browning. - Yes.

The cream is lumpy and the lather isn't there, it needs improving.

Okay.

Ah, we usually

use eggs from Kushiro Farm in Hokkaido, but the other day,

heavy rains damaged their chicken farm, so we had to rush...

It subtly diminishes the flavor, doesn't it?

But if you hadn't told me, no one would have known about it.

- It's just... - Eh? Did anyone else notice?

- Eh? - Eh?

Flavor: ★ The eggs have changed, but it's subtle.

Damn, she only gave one star.

It's Kikikajiri. That makes sense.

Ah, I was so sure she wouldn't notice it.

- What does she look like? - Do you want me to put it on our homepage?

That we changed eggs temporarily.

Ah, so that was true.

"That was true", what do you mean by that?

There was a girl who was making a lot of noise about how the eggs tasted different.

Eh? She noticed that little difference in taste?

Yes, that part-timer.

The headquarter seems to recommend that, what do you think?

Hmm...

Honestly, the whipped cream isn't great.
