TAVERN NOMAZUKUWAZU
WILL OPEN SHORTLY
So how long can you work?
Well... About one week.
One week?
Yes. College classes start...
I can work more than a month.
Thank you very much!
You're such an idiot!
You're lucky he hired you...
but you gotta say you can stay longer.
But what about when I have to quit?
That's another story.
You gotta quit, you quit.
I guess.
From the very beginning...
I wasn't really into this part-time job.
Oh!
Hey!
H-Hello!
Here for a visit?
Y-Yes.
Godai and I decided to take a part-time job...
at a tavern near here.
Really? When do you start?
Tomorrow.
So I'll be staying with Godai for a week.
I see. Sounds tough.
Oh, no.
Is that your dinner?
Yes.
You're sure buying a lot.
Well, they're for the whole week.
You're going to eat those all week?
We plan to eat out a few times.
I-I see.
Manager! Thanks for waiting.
Hey, it's you!
Hi.
He's staying with Godai.
Well, see you.
Yup.
What were you two talking about?
Well...
WHAT? At a tavern?!
Hey, Sakamoto! Want potstickers?
They're on sale today.
Hey! Potstickers?!
Sakamoto?
Didja hear me?
You!
W-What?
I was feeling great 'til you interrupted.
Huh?
What?
I just saw the manager!
What?!
Why didn't you call me?!
Why should I? You only live with her.
I-I guess, but...
You're so lucky a woman like that is always around.
She's around, all right, but...
Lucky dog...
It's really hard for me, you know.
Like a dog with food in its bowl that it can't have?
Yeah.
What? You're calling her dog food?!
How dare you!
All right! Okay!
We're back!
She's not gonna come out, idiot.
Hello!
It was nice seeing you earlier.
-You took your time, didn't you? -Yes.
Do you like curry?
Please join me for dinner. I made too much.
Ooh! Really?!
Godai, you too.
All right.
See you in 30 minutes.
Yes! Lookin' forward to it!
Thanks!
Scored, huh?!
What's the matter?
"Godai', you too"?
"You TOO"?
It's great!
Delicious!
Not too spicy?
Not at all. It's the best!
Right, Godai?
Yeah.
Maybe I'll board here, too. Just kidding!
If I had a wife like you, I'd die happy.
Oh, please.
Any man would think so, right, Godai?
Oh, yeah, Manager, do you drink?
Me? A little.
Well, then please drop by our workplace.
Manager! It'll be my treat!
As a thanks for tonight.
You don't have to do that.
Yeah. I'm the one...
I INSIST!
We've been good friends.
But...
It's only right that I do something for you...
in return for your kindness to my friend.
Well, all right. I'll come.
That's a promise.
I'll treat.
NO! It will be on ME!
You know...
you make it so obvious you want her all to yourself.
What's it to you?
You're the one going gaga over her.
I just have an innocent crush on her. That's all.
Liar.
Don't you know how to admire a beautiful flower?
Godai is frustrated!
Long time no see.
Hi.
Enjoying a round of drinks, I see.
There's nothing for you, Yotsuya.
No?
No.
Really?
Really.
Hey! You're here.
Hi.
Great. Another busybody.
How've you been, Sakamoto?
Just fine!
Just one sip.
Deeelish!
No fair!
Hey! That's my...
Isn't it terrible?
Godai is only nice to half-naked women.
All gone.
Thanks.
Are you busy at work, Akemi?
Not really. Got a day off tomorrow.
Is that so? Me too.
Good for you.
Indeed, it is.
See ya.
Well, then.
'Night.
What was that?
I have a bad, bad feeling.
Grilled chicken skewers for Table 3.
Ordering! One stew. Five hot sake.
Good evening!
Show the party of four to Table 8, please.
Boiled tofu for Table 4, ready.
Ordering! Two puffer fish rice gruel.
Hey! You forgot the beer for Table 5.
Oh yeah!
-Pay attention. -Sorry.
-Uncap it! -Yes!
-Mark it on their check! -Yes.
Good evening!
There's a table in the back!
Welcome.
Good evening.
Manager!
Please.
Welcome.
Godai!
Oops!
When you're done, take out the empties next to the cash register.
Yes!
Have a seat, Manager.
Thank you.
Hey! Where's our beer?
Yes! Coming!
How about some beer?
S-Sure. Thank you. I know you're busy.
Not at all. Stay and relax.
Thank you for waiting.
-Ordering! One dried cuttlefish. -'Kay!
Here you go.
Let me!
-GODAI! -Yes!
Take the empties OUT!
Yes!
Shoot!
Here we are.
-Boo! -You look great in that.
I knew...
they'd come.
For Table 10.
Godai.
-Huh? -Wake up!
Take these to Table 10.
You can't stand poverty unless you're drunk.
Here you go!
Here. Your chicken skewers.
Hey, you working student!
Nice little place. I like it.
How about a drink?
Listen you...!
Stop it!
Godai's working here. Please don't cause trouble.
Hey! We're not makin' trouble, right?
No way. He's treating us, after all.
Thanks for extending your generosity to us, too.
Hey! Who told you I'm treating you all?
Don't pretend you don't remember.
We're so fortunate to have such a great neighbor.
He's not just a neighbor. He's practically family.
Yeah. He's like our generous little brother.
Hello. Stay as long as you want.
You bet we will!
The boss's asking for you.
We're insanely busy. You can't stop and chat.
You're not a host. Get it?!
I'm sorry.
Please stop. It's Godai's first night here.
Oh, yeah!
Who're they? You know them?
Huh? N-Never seen them.
Godai! More beer!
She just called your name.
Th-This. She must have seen my name tag.
Yusaku! Watcha doin'? More beer!
Y-Yes! Right away!
Be quiet!
Oh, c'mon. Loosen up.
You're embarrassing the manager.
Whaddaya mean?
She's all red.
She's drunk.
I'm embarrassed!
That's 'cause you're not drunk enough.
Drink up.
I've had quite...
C'mon. You can drink more.
Yeah! Bottoms up!
Down it! Down it!
YEAH!
Have another.
Please! I'm done.
C'mon!
Manager.
Godai!
YES!!
Look here! What's this chicken order for Table 9?
Huh?
Teriyaki sauce or salted?
I'll go find out.
Don't go empty-handed.
Take this to #9.
You still drinkin', Manager?
Yes.
H-Hot!
Hot!
What's this? We didn't order this.
I-It's really hot. I'm sorry.
That idiot!
I'll take it away in just a second.
Godai, please use this.
Manager.
Thank you.
I'm sorry. He's new.
It's okay, Godai! Chin up!
-Stop! Please! -Go, go, Godai!
Please!
Go, go, Godai!
I was afraid this would happen.
I knew it would.
Thank you!
My premonition last night was right on.
Godai?
Manager.
You're working hard.
I'm just not used to it yet.
Are you leaving now?
No, I thought I'd get some fresh air.
Are they forcing you to drink?
I'm fine.
You should leave them and go home.
I know they're persistent.
Absolutely not. I can't go home.
Whaa--?
Godai! Get back to work!
Sorry.
Table 10. Five hot sake. Hurry.
Sorry!
I can't go home.
If I don't keep them under control...
they'll...
My lover is the chief's daughter
Herskin is dark
But she's an exotic island beauty
I can't keep them under control.
Manager, you look out of it.
Uh... Akemi?
This is great. Have some.
Um...
And then the guy says to me...
"Would you like to go out to dinner with me after work?"
Not a face you wanna look at through a meal!
Everyone!
Why don't we start heading home?
What?
Go home?
Why?
We've had quite enough, and we're burdening Godai at work.
That's odd.
No one's burdening him.
That's right.
We're HELPING his workplace with increased sales.
Right?
"Helping"?
What d'ya think you're doing?!
I'm sorry! My hand slipped.
I'm really very sorry about this.
I'll take care of this. GO GET THE PHONE!
Yes!
-Take it like a man, Yusaku! -Don't let it get you down!
Go, go, Godai!
Hello. Nomazukuwazu.
...Go, Godai! Go, go, Godai!
What? What is the customer's name?
Go Godai!
What? I'm sorry. I can't hear you.
Godai!
Godai...
Yes?
Time for last orders. Go ask Table 10.
Yes!
Last...order?
Yes. It's 30 minutes before closing.
We've had enough. Let's...
I want five hot sake!
Sake with a splash for me!
Whole grilled squid. Fried chicken.
Dried cuttlefish. Fish liver. Gizzards.
Vinegared crab. Mozuku seaweed. And five rice balls to go.
Great idea!!
Manager, are you all right?
Never mind me. What are YOU going to do?
What do you mean?
The bill.
What did you say? I can't hear you.
Come with me.
Can you walk?
I'm fine. Just come.
-Sakamoto, turn off the store sign. -Yes.
My thirst for free liquor is unquenchable!
Bottomless!
See? They really think this is ALL on you.
It seems that way.
What do you mean, "it seems that way"?
Don't you get it yet?
They step all over you 'cause you don't stand up for yourself.
I'll take care of tonight's bill.
What? N-No, you can't do that.
You have to make them pay their share.
You know they'll never go for that!
But...
Leave everything to your big sister here.
"Big sister"?
Yup.
Manager.
I think maybe you're drunk.
I can handle it!
M-Manager!
Are you all right? Manager?
Manager!
The drinks were great tonight!
I feel a little tipsy.
A chilly winternight The drinks never ceased And the food was free, too
Godai! Want me to carry her?
I'm fine.
She's the manager of my building.
But you're gonna be really beat.
You just mind your own business. Let's go. C'mon.
Let's go home and drink some more.
She's my manager.
Godai? What about the bill?
Don't worry. I took care of it.
HEY!
W-What?
I TOLE YA, LEAVE IT T'YA BIG SISTHER!
M-Manager! I can't breathe!
Whatcha doin'?
Drunk. What a pathetic sight.
Don't drink and drive. Don't drive when drunk.
C-Can't breathe! L-Let go!
You're such a smart aleck!
I TOLE YA T'LEAVE IT T'ME!
Stop actin' so cool!
The manager? She went to her parents' place.
Her mom's got a real bad cold.
Maybe it's another ploy to get her married off somewhere.
Next: "Godai's Revelation! Can't You TRY and Understand?!"
I don't have a girlfriend, but I am in love with someone.
