No Place to Go (夜明けまでバス停で)

Welcome.

Two guests have arrived.

Thank you for waiting.

- Miss, beer, beer! - Yes, please wait a moment.

- Seven tables, may I take your drink order? - Yes.

Welcome.

Michiko, um, it seems like there aren't enough small plates at one of the tables.

- Small plates. - Yes, thank you very much.

- It will be 4300 yen. - Okay.

Yes, I'll take 10,000 yen.

Ms. Maria..

I know I'm repeating myself, but about the leftovers...

Mix it with the garbage so that stray dogs won't eat it,

and please throw it away, okay.

Are stray dogs supposed to be some kind of jab at me? Nowadays, are there really stray dogs in this town?

It's so frustrating, those carefree rich kids!

Oh, it's nothing, I'm okay.

- Shall we go? - Okay.

- Is it the shop you were talking about the other day? - Yes.

You know, I'm quite picky about things like wine, aren't I?

I have no idea.

Thank you for your hard work.

See you later.

Hey, Junko, please stop that.

Why? Because it's vulgar.

Huh?

Hey, being a full-time employee is nice, isn't it?

You're probably going to another expensive store, right?

The university I graduated from has a higher entrance exam score than the university of the store manager.

Seriously?

I wonder what the difference is.

Don't worry about it.

Shall we drink today too?

- It's cold! - Ah, I'm getting wet!

Ah, wait a moment! I'll get wet!

Thank goodness.

- Thank you for your hard work. Excuse me. - Well then, see you tomorrow.

Good night.

Ah.

Hello?

What's wrong at this time?

What's wrong with you?

I've called you many times, you're not answering.

I'm also quite busy with various things.

I'm also busy with various things, you know?

Here, between work and taking care of Mom,

I don't even have time to sleep.

Yeah... I'm sorry about that.

I've decided to put mom in a care facility.

So, for the Admission fees and other things, I'll need a certain amount of money.

- It's tough, huh? - She's your mother too, you know.

What's with that way of talking?

Is 200,000 yen okay? That's my limit.

You've always hated Mom, haven't you?

I'm telling you, I said I'll give you money, right?

Even for me it's hard to make ends meet, you know?

Aren't you going to ask about Mom's condition?

Well, forget it.

Then please transfer the money within this week.

Even Mom hates me, doesn't she?

Families can be such a hassle.

- Hey? - Hmm?

It's about your solo exhibition in April.

Yeah.

You can change the layout of the store however you like.

Thank you.

I've also placed an order for flyers.

Actually, I've acquired some really nice stones.

Oh, I see.

Well then, let's work hard to make it profitable, okay?

That's not quite possible.

No, that's why it's not going to work.

You know? Quitting the part-time job

and saying 'I'll manage with just this' that's determination, isn't it?

Not going back to my parents' home. I wonder if it's just an excuse.

What's wrong?

Huh?

I just thought about what if Ms. Kisaragi were my family.

Hmm. That's serious.

Sorry, sorry, I forgot.

Ah, welcome.

Ah! You came!

What's wrong?

Store manager.

Junko invited me.

Yes, it's done.

- Huh? Amazing! - Oh.

- You're beautiful, right? - Hey.

Store manager.

Michiko, you can become a professional.

Why are you working part-time at a place like ours?

What a waste.

Well, I'm technically a professional even just as it is.

Huh? So, that means... Yeah.

Are you still repaying the debt of your ex-husband?

Right.

That's because he's using a card under my name for cash advances.

He's trash, isn't it?

- He's trash, right? - Yeah.

And also...

All four companies have reached their credit limits.

- I'm doing my best every month, you know. - Yeah.

The principal amount doesn't decrease at all.

It's hell, isn't it?

But, doesn't it mean you have to repay it?

- Really? - Yeah.

Because it's under my name.

It's better if you consult with lawyer or something.

It's just that, it feels like exposing myself to others and bringing shame.

- Is it really like that? - Well...

Because...

Because I'll end up hearing things like, 'He's the man you chose, isn't he?'

I don't want that, you know.

As for you...

You always makes the right choices, right?

What's that supposed to mean?

That thing sometimes annoys me.

Or rather, do you think those two will get married?

Huh? Who are you talking about?

- The store manager and the manager? - Yeah.

Well, he's the next president

and it's advantageous, but considering his personality, hmm...

But when it comes to personality, the store manager is quite a match, isn't he?

Why she's working part-time at a place like ours?

Got it.

Huh?

The rumored next president...

going out again? Wait a minute.

That's the app we used during the company trip, isn't it?

- Yeah, that's right. - Just stop it.

- It's an invasion of privacy, you know. - I'm in it too, you know.

- I'll delete it. - It's better to delete it. Just delete it, okay?

- With this, it's quite... - I don't like it.

Ms. Junko, that's consider stalking, you know?

- Hey, are you watching me too? - Huh?

The key to improving performance is a sense of responsibility.

Everyone, please think of yourselves as the owner of this store

and always act accordingly.

Yes.

For banquet reservations, there's still availability,

so please focus on proactive sales.

Let's achieve this month's sales target as well.

- I went to Sugamo. - Did you really go?

- Yes. - So, how was it?

No, it was just the worst, you know.

- With a toothless old lady. - Oh, come on...

This person was saying things like that but still went sneakily.

Then I win.

That's right.

- Wait, were you guys betting? - Yeah.

I didn't say anything, seriously.

- I can't deal with Sugamo. - Okay, let's stop the chatting there.

On Sugamo's Standard

even Michiko would be number one, right?

So, I'm telling you, that's sexual harassment!

That's right, you guys.

- Stop it. - Then, please take care of me today as well.

We're open! Thank you for your continued support today.

We look forward to working with you.

- Hello? - Hm?

Thank you very much.

Hey, sis, check this out.

Yes, please wait.

Welcome.

In reality, the beer is twice the price of this,

and neither the steamed chicken nor the sashimi platter are included.

This, you know...

I forgot to explain.

That table is taken care of by some alumni of the university, so they've been helping out with various things.

What? Do you have something you want to say?

No...

Just now, at that morning assembly...

You're just a part-time worker.

- You know.. - Yes?

I wonder if it's better to pretend not to notice things like that?

No, but, but then...

I understand what you want to say.

Ms. Maria.

ＯＫ

I'm going.

I told you to throw away the leftovers, right?

Please , I have three growing grandchildren at home.

Don't tell me that.

Don't you feel embarrassed letting your grandchildren eat that kind of meal?

Do you know how to say that in Japanese?

That's abuse, it's abuse.

Oh...

Are you involved in that too?

- Good work. - Yeah, good work.

Well then, I'll head home first.

I've been in Japan for 35 years already.

Sigh, has it been that long?

Have you heard of the term 'Japayuki-san'?

Japayuki-san? Yeah... Heard of it.

Everyone thought they would become happy if they came to Japan.

If you marry a Japanese man, you can build a house in the Philippines.

Hmph, but it's all a lie.

When my daughter was born, we were happy for a while, but.

My husband disappeared somewhere, and...

Three grandchildren were born, but this time my daughter disappeared.
