Strawberries 1 pack - 580 yen 2 packs - 1000 yen
How about splitting the cost?
Buying two is cheaper.
- So, 1000 yen for two packs. - Okay.
Ah, right. How about these?
These are little old. Two packs for 350 yen.
That cheap because they're not fresh?
You can make jam or juice out of them.
One pack for 175 yen. Will you take it?
- Please. - Okay!
Teito Trading Company
Managing Director Gondo.
Good morning.
Teito Trading Managing Director
Gondo Susumu (62)
- Good morning! - Good morning!
Good morning.
Wait, wait!
Wait! Wait a...
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
The fresh ones are delicious.
Yummy.
Yoshii Emiri-san, what would you like to do?
I think I'd like to work with textiles.
You have quite a lot of competition here.
I know, but I'm not giving up.
In order to do my job properly,
I have to become a person in charge
So you're aiming to be a manager?
I will carry the pride of Teito Trading anywhere in the world,
and do my best until retirement.
It's unusual to hear a young person say something like that.
Do you speak English?
I can speak a bit because I was trained to get my MBA.
(French)
What did the Vietnamese side say?
That's the most important thing in the store's development.
Osawa Yuriko (40)
Second textile department deputy section chief
You must not give in to them. We're counting on you.
If it's urgent, should I fly to Ho Chi Minh now?
Second textile department deputy section chief
Hoshina Akihiko (35)
For the time being, make preparations.
Got it.
Osawa-san. The managing director is urgently calling for you.
Managing director? What? It's urgent?
Maybe a promotion within the department?
The way you handled the Vietnamese side of things...
We all think it's about time.
- Not really. - Then, if you please.
We both know this is not routine, and it is rather sudden, but
I would love to see you do your best as section chief.
Section chief.
Yes.
As a chief of second division I will negotiate with...
General Affairs. Section chief of General Affairs.
- General Affairs? - The first female section chief.
As far as I know,
your goal is to improve the female staff situation.
So I think it is crucial for a woman to serve in an administrative function.
There's no one more suitable than you.
I'm grateful to hear that, however...
Ever since I came to this company, I've been dealing with textiles.
I have no knowledge on general affairs.
What's more, if I were to leave the department--
I have someone in mind for the position of Section Chief of the second department.
So it's already settled?
- Hoshina Akihiko. - Hoshina...
He has always been your subordinate, right?
He's also the most suited for this job.
Hoshino-kun may be 5 years my junior,
but of course, he is capable at his job.
You don't possibly think
that the company favours younger men, do you?
No, of course, I think no such thing...
Good.
General Affairs are handled mostly by women.
When you think about it, it's regrettable.
Not at all.
Until now
you have implemented a project to improve the role of women in the workforce.
I do understand that.
General Affairs boosts employee morale,
it is a very important department.
Will you accept the position
as the first female section chief?
Yes. With pleasure.
Nowadays, society is filled with harassment.
There are sexual, power, moral, and many other types of harassment.
Even though people in Japan are aware of this problem,
nothing has changed and harassment still occurs.
The age discrimination of women is ridiculed.
Older female workers are not valued.
Only the young and beautiful are praised.
Age harassment.
In short, A-hara.
This is a story about
a woman fighting against age harassment.

- Textile... - Yes!

She says ???????? (gosunkugi buchikomuzo) gosunkugi is a long nail, used for impale a voodoo doll or talisman against another object. We'll use a different nail for this saying though. :)
That is all. We wish all appointed people good luck.
Strawberries!
What do you think?
Totally useless.
Seriously, I'd rather buy a new PC than pay your wages.
Why would you do that, you're old!
You embarrass the youngsters!
I'll redo it.
Seriously, geeez....
Chief, this is a new employee.
My name is Yoshii Emiri. Nice to meet you.
Takayama, General Affairs Department Chief.
Takayama Tetsutaro (52)
General Affairs Department Chief
Do your best to become our strength.
Yes, sir.
Okay... counting on you.
Right.
Everyone, gather round.
Whenever a young beauty joins, it gets bright in here.
We don't need lamps, do we?
So bright! Just joooking!
This is a new company employee, Yoshii Emiri-san.
I'll introduce everyone.
Deputy section chief, Sada.
Sada Koichi (36)
General Affairs Dept Deputy section chief
This guy here prioritizes childcare over anything.
A daddy picking up his child in the middle of work. Just joooking.
Prisoner Nakazato, I mean, veteran Nakazato.
Nakazato Keiko (47)
General Affairs staff
The witch of beauty, although she's the only one who calls her that. This is a very lonely person.
No, not lonely at all! Just joooking.
Tanaka Haruka, 10 years of experience.
Tanaka Haruka (30)
General Affairs staff
Ah, I might have revealed your age. Sorry. Just joooking!
Deputy chief, let's go with self-introductions.
Right. Right.
Manager Ikura.
General Affairs manager
Ikura Masao (54)
Even though he's younger than Takayama,
he gets beaten all the time. Also know as: "The Chief's sandbag."
Just joooking!!!
Huh? Huh?
Ikawa. I'm the youngest. If there's something you need, tell me right away.
Ikawa Yu (25)
General Affairs staff
Apparently he's been told he's the prince here,
but he's actually only a pretty face, right?
A prince who will do anything he's told to do.
Just joooking.
- Sorry! I'm Hiramoto. - No need to apologize.
Hiramoto Daisuke (37)
General Affairs staff
ekiden = long distance relay race
He's the athletic one. Former ekiden runner. At university and now within the company, he pulls his muscles.
He's apologizing all the time.
- He's also known as "Sorry-chan". - Sorry!
I'm Noda. I'll go before the chief starts blabbing.
Noda Mika (29)
General Affairs staff
Lonely 29-year old veteran. Just joooking.
You're 30 next month, right?
I'm Takahashi Kokone. Nice to meet you!
Takahashi Kokone (26)
General Affairs staff
She's, you know, she does this thing a lot
- Half-open... Ostrich mouth... - Duckface.
- Right, the duckface. See?
- Temporary staff, Abe Maria. - Abe Maria, you know
It's a wordplay on Ave Maria.
General Affairs Dept Temporary employee
Abe Maria (52)
Perfectly losing to her name,she's our temporary princess.
Fifty... something.
- I lowered your age. - Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you! - And this is Asano-san.
Asano Kazuyuki (49)
General Affairs Deputy Chief
He works from welfare to HR. He's the almighty deputy chief.
Stop it, you're too nice.
I'm still young at heart, you know.
Ah, isn't this Yoshii's mother?
Just joooking!
Okay, go back to work.
Sorting mail for delivery Sorting mail by department for delivery
Excuse me.
When you're done sorting,
please do a final check of the guest list.
Okay.
There's an upcoming 70th anniversary party.
Right.
- Sorry-chan. - Yes!
The fluorescent tubes in First Textiles is acting weird.
- Go check it out. - On it!
- And... - Yes!
- One of the toilets in the female washroom is clogged again. - Sorry!
Take Yoshii-san with you.
- OK! This way. - Yes.
Sorry! Sorry, sorry!
Sorry!
- But the elevator... - 2 up, 3 down!
- Excuse me?
To save energy, you don't use the elevator
when going less then 2 levels up and 3 levels down.
2 UP, 3 DOWN!
- Excuse us! - Here, here.
Geez, you should have checked them all last time.
- You're the General Affairs department afterall! - Sorry!
- Finish this quickly. - You got it!
Changing bulbs, de-clogging toilets,
is this what the General Affairs department does? - Yup.
Clogging toilets, faulty windows, it's all on us.
- Here. - Emiri!
I have training in textiles from day one!
- We should get together soon. - Yeah.
See you!
- Bye... - Uwaa!
- Do your job! - Sorry.
SORRY.
Yoshii, are you done?
Not yet, sorry!
Find it quickly! You're General Affairs.
Finding lost things
Sorry.
Why would you lose your employee badge...
If you stick the tape horizontally, the poster will stay flat against the wall.
You have to stick it horizontally.
Is this also a job for General Affairs?
If it peels off, wouldn't the guests think there's no one to fix it?
Managing exhibitions
The person who spotted this should fix it.
I love this kind of job.
There's no other job like this which makes people grateful.
Yeah.
You're from General Affairs? - Yes.
Could you not turn off the air conditioning during the long weekend?
- Okay. - You may not working,
but we don't have time off.
Bad aura...
Don't take General Affairs lightly.
Even so, different things happen here.
If there's something unpleasant going on, you can tell me.
- Thank you. - I will listen.
- I'll teach you the job too. - Okay.
That's bad.
Keiko-san doesn't look 47 at all!
Really?
Mini-skirt and bare legs gives a totally different impression.
Thanks. Goodbye.
Thanks for your hard work!
Ouch...
To maintain such a shape at this age must be painful.
Even so, she's super confident.
She has no boyfriend, who is she trying to look young for?
It seems our newbie is an only child of a ranch owner in Hokkaido.
Really? She's such a princess?
Thanks for your work.
Must've been tired.
You got it.
Sorry to leave before you.
Goodbye.
Bye.
She's different from that 47 year old mini skirt.
Real youngsters are something, right?
That is my generation.
Aged within a moment.
Though we'll have to look at her youth every day.
Youngsters are filled with energy.
With young Yoshii joining the company, be careful how you treat women.
Today's behaviour from Asano won't do!
Yes! I'll be careful.
In the past it would be normal...
Nowadays, no matter what you do, it's harassment.
It destroys lives!
I respect you, chief, that's why I won't cause trouble.
I'm counting on you. If you as deputy manager
do something wrong, you drag me down with you!
Age harassment, baba harassment are both unacceptable,
Baba harassment - conflict between female employees
although if a man sees a pretty woman,
they can't really help it, right?
Kiss-ass.
"Pretty women do not age"
stop talking like a Frenchman.
I don't want to be their enemy.
- Chief, I won't cause trouble. - Thanks.
Nowadays it is common to be sued by the Compliance Committee.
Even so, the Chief often harasses Director Ikura, and...
SORRY! I'VE DRUNK TOO MUCH! SORRY!
- Turn down the volume, will you? - SORRY!
No, no. I've been away for a while because of illness.
The Chief's scolding is a type of encouragment.
- Sorry. - Right? When you do this,
guys know the real intentions.
Putting a hand on a woman's shoulder is already sexual harassment.
Get yourself together!
You give an order while raising your tone a little - power harassment.
When you ask personnel what they will do after giving birth,
it's maternal harassment!
When you insist someone go to out to karaoke, it's kara-hara.
When give something heavy to a young person, age harassment.
Women cause problems with harassment too, by their clothes.
Idiot! Don't even try to turn the tables!
Women will doom you for this way of thinking, you--
If you call me an idiot, that's moral harassment.
When you talk to a middle-aged woman, call it: "the annual rings have piled up".
You can tell a tree's age by counting their annual rings. Apparently it is polite to refer to annual rings in place of age.
You can't call them "old" or "elder".
"Elder..."
So which topics are safe to talk about in this difficult world?
- Weather? - It's better not to talk.
With that being said,
Ikura won't have much problem with it.
It's the 5th round of tea today.
Two days ago it was six.
- Newbie? - Yes.
General Affairs has to do this job too...
Right.
To see such a joy in a woman, here.
Margit sale!
When you buy all six at once, you'll get a discount.
- Really? - It's okay.
- I'm so happy! - He totally went ahead...
- I'll be there at the date you have here. - Thank you very much!
Order whatever you want.
Is that okay?
It's been a while since I've had such a treat.
Looks tasty!
Is something...?
I was thinking how you are so very young.
You're young, so it can't be helped, but remember this:
You should look around and think about the things you see.
One of the principles of General Affairs is sensitivity.
Being aware of your position in the group,
that's an important task.
Understood.
For example, today with the President of a company,
your job was to make them feel relaxed before the meeting by bringing coffee, right?
And yet you, the new one, talked and laughed with the people there.
This makes your experienced co-workers feel bad.
I had no such intention!
I couldn't just not answer when they're talking to me!
You were too smiley towards the president.
Don't you smile when you're not accustomed to a situation?
Nothing but excuses.
I am terribly sorry.
Be careful next time.
Seriously, you behave like a spreading virus.
Spreading virus?
Right.
Don't think that you'll be excused because you're young.
That's all. Excuse me...
- Is Maiko sleeping? - Yeah.
Isn't this giant beetle pretty?
Even though they eat animal feces.
Am I old?
Not at all.
I understand you're doing what a researcher has to do, but
you keep worrying about the insects and beetles,
why don't you take care of me for a change?
You're not old at all.
This new employee is so young and pretty.
Today, during dinner,
The fairy tale, Cinderella.
I scolded her like Cinderella's stepmother.
It's bad to hate someone just because of their age.
Just hiding my real intentions made me tired.
I need money.
Can't waste even single yen.
Spreading virus...
I'll fight you tooth and nail.
Mom? Something's wrong?
Emiri, thank you for this month's money.
You even included a bonus.
You're a great help.
Right.
Sorry to bother you before leaving.
- Wait! - Emiri?
We have leaflets and posters, I started a part-time job too.
We're doing fine, don't worry.
You're probably having a more difficult time now.
If there's something wrong,
just say: "Idiots! I'll fight you tooth and nail!" and go on.
I use your saying quite a lot.
- Is that so? - Yeah.
- Bye. - Bye!
Who's is it?
You can't put your stuff there.
It's shiitake mushroom.
Ferrule? You can add it to miso soup too.
It looks like wrapped rice onigiri.
Shouldn't you throw away the ferrula?
But won't it give out a taste once you pour it with hot water?
When making miso soup in the evening...
I've seen this handkerchief before.
Yoshii-san's?
Would the only daughter of ranch owner bring something like this?
Something's fishy.
Yoshii-san, there's a melon in the fridge.
- Please take it and cut it at 3pm. - Yes.
The inspection of the venue before the anniversary party...
I was doing it up until the last time. I'll get prepared.
Since you've done so much, now we'll leave it to someone younger.
Yoshii-san, please go to the Hotel Hibiya with me.
After helping with the tea I have to get the key to the Energy department women's locker--
Tanaka-san, would you do that?
Yoshii-san, it's better to see it once for yourself.
- But... - Hurry up, let's go.
What? Huh?
- I hate when they snatch your job. - You taught her so much...
It's better to leave some things to the juniors.
- Haruka-chan! - Yes!
The reporter from "Everyday Times" is coming, please prepare a conference room.
Understood. How many cups of tea should I prepare?
It will be just two people, just clean the place.
Is it okay not to serve tea?
Yoshii-san will take care of that.
Media are scary, aren't they? We have to leave a good impression.
I am sorry to cause a bad impression.
No, it's just splitting the duties.
Right. You're a great person, Haruka-chan.
Though not the youngest. Just joooking!
- Deputy chief. - The annual rings have piled up.
If you excuse me.
Excuse me!
Thanks for today.
No problem.
It's embarrassing to just wander around.
No, the staff is very happy to see a young pretty girl.
In the shopping season, all the--
Yo! Sada!
Section Chief Hoshina! How are you?
It's hard to get used to it.
- Chief! Chief Hoshina? - What's up?
I just received this from the Vietnam side.
It's looking good, Chief.
- Okay! Let's see. - Okay.
See ya!
My contemporary. The boss of the second textile department, Hoshina Akihiko.
- Textile? - The youngest boss to date.
He was an ace in university, just like me. He was excellent.
I was left behind because of paternity leave.
It's obvious you take one, isn't it?
I pick up and leave the kid at daycare, so I'm late to the meetings.
My wife is working too.
Parental leave is an obvious thing these days.
Even if you say so, society is still old.
Nowadays too, men hate having women as their boss,
they're not so eager to go on parental leave as well.
Hey, why are you slacking off?
I'd thought checking conference rooms take so much time.
I'm sorry.
I'll treat it as a break then. Counting on you.
Roger.
The very person not wanting to look at Chief Hoshina's face is our own Chief.
She was deprived of the position by a guy 5 years her junior.
She probably wants him dead.
It's been 5 years. This secret...
Relationship?
Even so, you've changed.
You wanted to be the section chief of the second textile department so much
and even though I, as your subordinate, got it, you're so calm.
I thought I was dead.
To have feelings towards the guy I'd see dead... I'll be damned.
Though it's not something a young woman would say.
Nice.
Before we started dating, you wouldn't look at women over 25.
I think so now too.
Only the young ones are pretty.
If a woman over 25 is as great as you, I won't let her go.
That's not what a person having to train lots of women would say.
Nice.
We'd like to recruit a girl from here.
We all at the PR agency think the same.
She would go on the cover.
Someone from General Affairs would be good.
If it's about Yoshii-san, I decline.
Previous covers included people with 4-5 years of experience, like the Director.
Yoshii-san is still a new employee.
She is still learning her duties.
I wonder why a girl from General Affairs is to be on the cover.
Tanaka-san with a 10 year experience is very talented. By all means is suitable for the cover.
By having a new female employee, brilliantly--
I decline. I will not jeopardize the teamwork.
Chief, you have a call.
If you excuse me.
Why is she so persistent?
She seems to be pissed because people notice her age.
If she gets on the cover, more men will join the PR.
She's young and pretty...
Please consider taking Tanaka-san.
If you excuse me.
I wanted to tell you before you hear the rumours.
PR department told me they want you
for the cover of next year's company brochure.
I declined.
I can't let put a newcomer on the cover, can't I?
That's what I think so too.
That's all.
Chief.
Could you give me more duties?
I want to work more.
I aimed for the textile department in the first place,
but since I was assigned here, I want to do my best.
I don't think it's a learning observation.
Rather, such menial jobs...
Making tea, checking conference rooms, secretary stuff...
seem to be assigned because you're young.
Yes.
You've joined the company four months ago. You're still a newbie.
Tea, secretary stuff, they are all important administrative tasks.
Newbies first do what they're told.
Then, you'll get higher in the ranks.
It's been what, 8 years? Your residency in Brazil.
Yeah. Finally made to headquarters.
- We have to throw a welcome party with all the contemporaries. - No need.
- Brazilian food, though... - Welcome back, Tanuma-san.
You're still here?
She is. The others disappeared, though.
Just joooking.
A young one has joined recently. Yoshii-san!
Yes.
People after their prime age don't have to bring tea.
Though I don't know if it's being considerate or not.
I'm just joking, you know.
You know, I'm just joking?
For you Haruka-chan, it's a starting line.
Right. About boyfriends too.
You don't ask a person in their thirties if they have someone. You don't.
- But... - Would you ask?
No way, no way, no way!
A guy--
As of today, I quit.
This is sexual and age harassment,
it's a great problem, don't you see it? Idiot!
I am sorry.
I didn't think she would quit...
The person saying it may act as if nothing happened,
But the one being told answered by resigning.
How many times do I need to tell you!
You go on and on with power, age, moral-
all kinds of harassment!
Your level is so high no one can surpass you!
Do you get that?
Anemia. Ouch... my neck...
- Are you okay? - Don't get close to me.
Haruka-chan always ignored the abuse and now she just had enough.
It's not only about today either.
Poor Haruka-chan...
She really liked General Affairs.
And she even took her under her wing.
She quits and the spreading virus stays...
Her joining caused the resignation.
- Unforgivable. - Yeah.
Get it into your head once and for all! Are you listening?
Yes!
Such an incident in General Affairs, that's bad.
And I complied with that...
Director Gondo will be angry...
That's bad. Ouch...
Whose is it?
You can't put your personal stuff in the fridge
This handkerchief covers the package every day.
I wanted to leave it be but today it fell off.
Shiitake and miso soup was the only thing in it.
- Someone's dinner? - Looks like it.
- Smells of poverty. - Whose is it?
I don't know whose it is, so throw it away.
Why don't you change?
- Since you went all the way... - We are sorry!
Above everything, General Affairs.
One person resigned.
Yes. We are terribly sorry.
Resignation because of marriage?
Am I right?
That's how it is.
Y-yes.
Come here.
I think of engaging a new project to improve female employee's situation.
- Again? - Shh.
I am certain female employees will be very happy because of the project you created, Director.
This is specifically created to increase motivation.
The rumours about your candidacy for president must be true.
I want to increase the number of female managers up to thirty percent by 2020.
You are truly a leader in this race, Director Gondo.
If it's possible, I will personally take part in...
Tanaka-san!
Are you really quitting?
I am.
But it's not your fault.
You don't have to quit...
I've been working here for 10 years, and look how it ended.
It's age harassment.
No one will look seriously at a woman aiming for a career.
They see only an old one.
When a new young employee joins next year
Maybe next time you'll be able to fight back against age harassment.
But...
If it's you, maybe something will change.
I'm glad I met you.
Thank you.
This is General Affairs. About Workplace Safety Awareness Month,
We are conducting seminars.
I will get back to you immediately.
- Yoshii-san. - Yes.
I just got this document, but could you add a superscription?
"We will send the requested douments."
What document is this? The details--
Just do it, would you?
- Yoshii-kun. - Yes.
- Can you come here? - Yes.
- Nice! - It's the first time I've heard this,
Did you talk with PR about the cover of our company's brochure?
Yes, but the boss declined.
Do it. I'll get the green light.
I wonder why she declined, right?
The boss is out now, but as soon as she's back
I will properly talk to her. Don't worry.
OK.
- Accepted? - Yeah.
PR Chief has come to me.
Kept begging, you know.
Yoshii-kun also agreed.
Shortly, the covers will follow the "young women" route.
It's reasonable to start with Yoshii.
Reasonable.
I am calling because of poor attendance.
Please send at least one person.
Welcome back. The requested superscription.
And, earlier the Chief...
I heard.
Talks progressed when I wasn't around.
I was told it was already decided.
Even though,
Didn't you despise the job where it's all about youth?
That's what the cover concept is about.
I thought I should do as I am told.
So you stuck with my words.
My fault, sorry.
Um...
That's not adult-like behavior, Yuriko.
You want to fight the newbie so much?
She says things like: "I'm doing as I am told".
You give such auntie-vibes too, huh.
Auntie? Who's auntie?
No, it's cute.
This auntie-cuteness will one day snatch my position one day.
You better watch me.
With the perfect attendance during the anniversary party
I'll show them the superiority of General Affairs boss over the boss of Textiles.
If you could.
- Right, right, right... - Wrong! I'll be watching.
Ikura-san.
I'm sorry you have to do this because Haruka-chan left.
- No problem. - Thank you.
- Thanks for your work. - Thank you.
Wherever you look, preparations are in progress.
Yoshii-san, join the Information.
- I still have... - Come on.
It's so gloomy here without a young girl around.
That's not what I...
Hello.
What? Wa-wait a second.
I can't decide on my own. The Chief is here...
- What? - It's the secretary.
Takayama speaking.
Understood. I'll make preparations now.
Yoshii-kun, Yoshii-kun. Come here.
I get it.
There's no way!
The boss approves, go change immediately.
- Please. - But...
Go to the fitting room. Quickly!
- Let's focus on work. - On the right! Quickly!
- Decidedly. - Great, isn't it.
That was close...
Beautiful... boss.
I wouldn't think of you in kimono in summer.
Another attendees are quite determined too, but you're beyond compare!
I'm relieved to hear your compliments.
Hearing about the most important guest's attendance,
I thought I didn't want to offend anyone. Even though it's hot, I put this on.
Only you can talk so well about the company's matters.
We'll get more contracts!
Ah! Excuse me for putting it bluntly!
I wasn't able to hold a proper conversation, so I taught myself.
You look worried.
I'm not too old for this, don't worry.
No, I mean... let's go to the waiting room.
Good.
Kimono...
She'll work in information in that outfit?
Yoshii-san, you go with us too.
Quickly.
I am terribly sorry.
We had Yoshii changed once we knew about the president attendance.
We are terribly sorry.
Didn't the boss approve...
We had a sudden call from our secretary just before.
It all happened quickly.
The guest of honor, the President...
...likes younger girls.
We told the secretary of the other party
that we won't talk about the current condition of the firm here.
And if there was a young lady there...
I'm sorry it's all sudden.
So the boss didn't approve it?
I told you, there was no time.
We are sorry.
We've learned about the company,
and you even came wearing a kimono in this heat...
That's how it is.
I...
Like I thought, I can't do it.
I'll be grateful if you stay like this.
Actually, about kimono,
Later I'm having dinner with a dean from my husband's university.
I would have to go back after the toast and speeches of the main guest,
and that would be rude of me.
I talked to the dean and his wife about delaying our meeting for a while.
With Yoshii-san's change,
I can excuse myself easily. It's a great help.
Is that so...
I will do my best in your place!
- Let's prepare. - Right. Excuse us.
Our main guest's president is a gentleman,
you can be just yourself.
I'm counting on you.
I am sorry...
I was told you approved this change in plans...
You're a great help.
Cheers to the 70th anniversary of Tantei Trading!
Cheers!
Ah! You... Welcome. I'm staying in your favour.
- You drink one too. - Thank you very much.
Cheers.
President. I'm Takayama from Teitou Trading. It's been some time.
It's been, really. Aren't you important now?
I'm still inexperienced.
Yoshii-kun, you really helped us yesterday!
The main guest and the managing director were really happy. They will for work with us for another year.
You did a splendid job!
You told me chief approved of it,
I am really angry.
Section chief and I will properly apologize to her later.
- Don't worry. - If you could.
You did great!
Manager, how about coffee?
Lukewarm, please.
- Sorry-chan, Lukewarm coffee for the manager! - Sorry!
Manager, could you assign more tasks to me?
I can do a lot more.
You dislike your current job?
No... I am indeed a new employee,
but I will do my best at anything. However...
I get too many tasks based on my age
and I cannot show my abilities.
Okay! Got it.
- I'll think about it. - Thank you.
Yup, I'll think about it.
I do my best here.
I will think about it later.
Sorry you had to wait!
Thanks for your hard work!
Don't say stuff like that!
A year ago today
I aimed for a career in merchandise.
At that time, I thought life would open up before me.
I am terribly sorry for today.
Me too. You helped me.
The vegetable stand was there today too.
What, an apology?
Excuse me?
What kind of job do you want to do?
You asked Manager for more tasks.
Going behind your superior's back, no matter the hierarchy,
is against the rules.
It's the third time you went behind my back.
The first time was with the cover.
It was decided without my knowledge.
- The second time was today. - I was told you...
And now you ask for more tasks.
You can even ask the Section Chief, it won't happen.
Nothing but excuses.
I did not know it's forbidden to ask directly.
I would like to be useful for more than just my age.
Do you have any skills?
I'm doing everything I can to get my MBA.
- I speak English too. - You don't have an MBA, right?
You only aimed for it, right?
There are a lot of people with MBAs here.
Lawyers, accountants, real-estate sellers, customer service, architects... a lot of them.
Stop blabbing about taking or trying.
English in merchandise is a given thing.
We use you for your youth
so think it's your greatest thing and do your best.
What you're told to do is important.
I'll eat it later. Thank you.
Thanks for your hard work. Please, have some.
If you don't like them, just throw it away.
Emergency conference meeting is at 2pm!
Yoshii-san, the Section Chiefs are gathering,
prepare tea immediately! 40 cups.
40 cups at once?
Please, someone help me!
General Affairs.
Yes, that's right. We'll let you know when it's decided.
Could you help me with tea?
- Sada! - Wa-wait a second.
Could you help me with tea?
Everyone'll be happy if you do it.
Um...
- I do my best here. - I know. I'll think about it.
You don't ask a person after 30 if they do or don't have someone. Right?
Do you have any skill beside being young?
It's age harassment.
Maybe you will be able to change it.
I told you, didn't I?
Bringing tea is also a very important job.
Idiots...
I will fight you tooth and nail.
What?
If it's that important, why don't you do it yourself?
Yoshii-san, isn't your tone improper?
What a young person should do, is...
Age, power, moral- this department is filled with harassment!
You won't tell me what to do when you're doing nothing!
What's wrong?
What is wrong?
The conference is about to start,
Let's talk about this later, Yoshii-kun.
Talk later, apologize later,
approve later, think about it later...
You keep putting things off,
it's all just an act!
