It's too late to be looking for a job now...

I think this year's exam is over.
Guess who?!
I know that voice. Yagami.
Don't scare me like that.
Sorry!
What are you doing here?
I came to buy some reference books.
What are you doing here, Mr. Godai?
N-Nothing, really.
So you still haven't gotten a job yet?
No. Things have come up.
But don't worry. This is just the beginning.
But haven't all the reputable firms
already chosen their new hires?
Why don't I ask my father one more time and.
No.
Don't do that.
I told you, I'm going to choose my own path to my future.
- But. - Don't worry.
It's one of those things that you just can't rush.
I just have to be patient.
Are you planning to become a preschool teacher?
At the book store, you were.
I was just looking.
Oh, no! Look at the time!
I-I'm sorry, but I gotta go. Sorry.

Thank you very much.

Sugar Daddy?

Please! Let's Just say my employment is a mystery.
I don't care. Please be my Daddy.
Why not? Be a man.
Please!
Your eyes tell me you're Serious.
Yes. I am.
God is calling me!
Are you okay with this?
If they keep sponging off you every night,
you'll never be able pay off your tab.
My hands are tied.
I don't know what they got on you,
but you should get rid of bums like that
for your own good.
'Scuse me!
Hi. Are you going out?
Yes.
You look worn out.
Me? Not really.
You've got a lot on your plate.
Your preschool job and your job hunt.
Y-Yes. I'm on my way to see my career counselor again.
Good luck.
I'm sure you'll find a great job for yourself.
Thanks. Bye.
Sir! Come on in! Take advantage of our special offer!
Mrs. Ichinose?
Bye!
We'll see you again tonight!
You're a pal!
Bye.
What are you talking about?
Nothing.
I can't tell Manager that I'm working at a cabaret
because I didn't have enough money to pay the bill there.
No pushing! Wait your turn, okay?
Are you sure you don't want to be a preschool teacher?
The other day, the principal was saying.
Godai' has been such a great help.
He loves children, and the parents like him.
Godai would make a great preschool teacher.
He was singing your praises.
Really?
Maybe I'd be good at this kind of work.
Yes. You'd be so great.
You think so?
Mr. Godai, let's play in the sand box!
Come on, Mr. Godai! Hurry!
Come on!
Okay. Okay.
Preschool teacher... It's not a bad idea.
What? You want to quit?!
Are you serious?
Yes. I need to find a career, and I can't keep working here
at a time when I need to find direction in my life.
O-Of course, I promise to pay the tab.
You're a respectable young man!
You've made a good decision.
As long as those bozos sponge off you every night,
you'll never be able to pay your tab.
Yeah.
It's too bad,
now that you've become pretty good at your job.
but I understand this is for your own good.
Thank you.
Well, I think I can trust you.
I'll talk to the boss myself.
Just be sure to pay off your tab, all right?
Yes!
Hey.
Where's the babysitter lady?
She called and said that she threw her back out
and won't be able to come for a while.
No way! I have to get ready to work soon.
My baby won't stop crying. What am I supposed to do?
Don't ask me.
All right, all right.
Maybe his diaper's wet.
How do you know that?
You're soaking wet.
Of course you don't feel good.
Here. Let's change you.
You're good.
You got a kid at home?
N-NO I don't!
Will you watch my kids, too?
Come.
Go.
What's your name?
Taro.
And this one's Hanako.
I wish they didn't look exactly like my ex-husband.
Isn't that how it always is?
It's a bummer.
Hey!
This is his last day here,
but you can play with him today.
You're leaving?
Yes.
He's gotta look for a career.
Oh.
Too bad for us.
When the neon starts lighting up the town,
my feet just bring me this way.
Let's party hard again tonight.
Hey!
Oh, good evening. Where are you all off to, tonight?
To your shop, of course.
I see. Well, have a good time.
Huh?
By the way, my tab's not open anymore.
Did Godai quit his job?
I'm home.
Hello.
Hi.
You're earlier than usual tonight.
Y-Yes.
How did it go today?
With you career counselor?
W-Well
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..
It's okay.
I haven't decided yet, so I can't say for sure, but.
Since I love kids,
I might Iike to have a job like I do now
where I can be with them.
So you want to be a preschool teacher?
I'm not sure.
I think you'd be great at it.
We're home!
Welcome back.
Boy, was it heavy.
What're you two doing here?
Huh? N-Nothing.
Whatever. Let's drink up!
We must drink freely to forget we used to drink free.
Godai, bring the beer, will you?
Manager, you join us.
No thank you.
C'mon!
Good luck, preschool teacher!
Manager!
Yes!
Manager...
Hello? Otonashi speaking.
Godai's grandmother? How are you?
How's eveyone?
I just called because something's bothering me.
Last night, I had a dream
that Yusaku was weeping because he was hungry.
Is he eating all right?
I think so.
Won't you please keep an eye on him
every once in a while?
Sure. I'll do that. Don't worry.
Well, take care.
Thank you. Good-bye.
He's been very busy lately,
and he hasn't been looking so great.
I wonder if he's been eating?
Now, you try.
Don't suck it in. You blow, okay?
They're flying!
My turn!
Wait your turn.
Preschool teacher, huh?
Godai!?
Yes?
The principal wants to see you.
The principal? I wonder what he wants?
If he asks me to stay,
maybe I can work here after graduation
and take the next certification exam.
I wouldn't mind staying here to work.
Come in.
Excuse me!
Godai, you've been such a great help.
Thank you.
I love kids. Maybe this is just the kind of job for me.
I'm sorry this work has been such an imposition on you.
I was finally able to hire a new preschool teacher.
You're free to devote your time to your job hunt from tomorrow.
I'm sure you'll find a great job somewhere.
Here's your pay through today.
Godai?
Thank you.
MR. GODAI
The bubbles flew to the roof!
They flew to the roof, burst, and disappeared.
I'm late!
Oh yeah. I don't have to go anymore.
I just have the worst luck.
Yes?!
Godai?
Good morning.
Were you still sleeping?
Here. Your lunch.
L-Lunch?
Your grandmother called yesterday.
She thought maybe you weren't eating.
Grandma?
Looking for a job is a lot of work.
You have to get your nutrition.
Here. Please eat it at your preschool.
B-But
You better hurry, or you'll be late.
Yes.
Good luck.
Thanks. Bye!
Where am I supposed to go?
It's nice and warm, isn't it?
No thanks.
Manager, I got laid off at preschool.
Is that right? How wonderful
I bet the kids would have gotten a kick out of this.
This came out so cute.
I bet the kids are loving it.
I think I'll make a penguin out of a wiener!
H-He's gone?
Yes. A new teacher started today.
I see.
Shucks. I wanted to talk to Mr. Godai one more time.
I don't want to phone Maison Ikkoku.
Phone...?
They flew to the roof, burst, and disappeared.
I better go pay off that tab.
Mr. Ioka!
Hey, Godai! You came to pay off that tab already?
I just got paid,
so I thought I'd better pay before I use it up.
Admirable.
What's with that boy?
This one?
The babysitter lady quits, and this is what happens.
It suits you.
Idiot!
All right, all right. I can't work like this.
Are you hungry, or are you wet?
What's the matter?
You look like you've got some time on your hands.
You're--?!
I called your college and they gave me your address.
I see.
Thank you very much for your help.
How has Director Yagami been?
I've been meaning to visit to formally thank him for.
I came to ask you about Mr. Godai.
Godai?
Would you wait a minute, please?
Who is it?
Nobody
Here.
He should be there now.
Would you tell him that I owe him one?
Thank you.
"Owe him one"?
Open up!
Good boy.
You must really love kids.
Well, I'm working-- I was working as a preschool teacher.
Preschool teacher?
So there really ARE men who like taking care of kids.
I'm so impressed.
Please.
Don't forget to chew, okay?
So are you going to be a preschool teacher?
well, I...
Godai, the money you gave me earlier.
It won't cover the tab that those three bozos racked up.
Huh?
The boss says that if you'd work for us,
he's willing to give you a break on that tab.
What do you say?
Do you have another job right now?
No.
Then it's been decided!
Help me bring in some customers.
Um..
If those three show up again, I'll set 'em straight.
Leave it to me.
M-Mr. Ioka!
I Just can't get into it.
I miss going to the cabaret every night.
Nothing is as memorable as the taste of free booze.
Let's force ourselves to party tonight!
There they go again.
I wonder if Godai will be late again tonight?
"Cabaret Bunny..."
Bunny...
Come in! Come in!
Come in. Please come in.
Come in! Welcome!
Have you forgotten?
Our company motto.
To draw in customers, we must smile and articulate.
To draw in customers, We must smile and articulate!
That's right!
We're the golden duo together again!
Let's do it again!
Come in and experience paradise at a special price!
Is this what you meant
by choosing your own path to your future?
Come in! Come in, sir!
3,OOO yen only! Limited time offer!
Sir! Sir!
Hey! Sir!
She found out?!
She knows about the preschool and the cabaret.
Of course Manager would be mad.
And that Yagami...
...at the cabaret?!
Next: "Godai Goes Ga-Ga! Yagami's a Bunny Girl Now?!"
High school girls nowadays are way out there!
