Yamada!
Can you believe it?
Yamada isn't hurt at all despite this disaster!
That's not the point!
Taneshima-san...
What's the matter, Inami-chan?
The customers at table seven...
Oh, they're guys...
Will you be okay, Inami-chan?
I'll be fine.
I'll do my best, and charge them down!
Don't charge the customers down, Inami-chan!
Thank you for your patience.
Inami-chan actually served male customers!
That's amazing, Inami-chan!
You've really improved!
I-I did it, Taneshima-san.
Hey, Satou-san!?
Jeez! What is it with you and my hair!?
Like all things of this world, human minds don't follow logical reasoning, Taneshima.
Don't try to smooth it over by getting philosophical!
Satou-kun can't help it, Taneshima-san.
Ouch...
Here, the order's ready.
Take it away.
Okay!
It sure is lively here, despite Yamada working diligently in the background.
Is that you again, Yamada!?
Oh, customers!
Welcome to Wagnaria!
Sheesh, Takanashi-san always gets so angry at Yamada.
Ep 1
All Clear on the Front Lines
It'd be nice if he'd, instead, show some guts
and support Yamada, who's trying so hard.
Guts?
Is that so?
You're so cute I could just eat you!
That sounds kind of creepy.
That's Takanashi-kun, right?
He was so angry just a minute ago too.
He sounds so happy. Maybe it's some little doll.
A child?
Takanashi-kun...
I know you really like little things...
...but this is downright criminal!
Who are you calling a criminal?
No! You've got it all wrong.
That girl is...
A customer?
She's the girl who came here before when she got lost.
Now that you mention it...
Is she lost again?
You asked your mom if you can come here today, right?
Did you come to see him?
So adorable!
Takanashi-kun has a disturbingly strong attachment to small animals and such,
yet they're not turned off by him, strangely enough.
Yeah! I was a little suspicious of him at first,
but he doesn't really do anything bad.
And his pats feel so nice, it's addictive!

Yamada wants to be pet, too!
That sounds nice...
I don't really remember it...
So is it okay if I play with her while I work, Manager?
That sounds creepy, but as long as you get your work done, I don't care.
However, you can't have her clinging to you like that in front of customers.
An extra order for table seven!
Hey, Taneshima-san, where'd Takanashi-kun go?
Oh, her.
So Katanashi-kun is working in the back.
Well, he can't really serve customers with a little girl on his back.
It's nice to see Takanashi-kun being so honest with himself.
You could learn a thing or two from him, Satou-kun.
You should ask Todoroki-san out on a date.
Though, I'm sure all she'd talk about is the manager no matter where you took her.
Are you listening, Satou-kun?
Satou-kun!
Say something, Satou-kun!
I'm talking to you, Satou-kun!
You said if your feelings for Todoroki-san didn't pan out, you'd stop working here,
but you haven't done a thing—
Say any more and you're dead.
You answering only proves me right, Satou-kun!
Ow! Ow! Ow!
You really know how to get on a guy's nerves.
I question your humanity.
I am on your side, you know...
That only makes me question your humanity more.
Man, Satou-kun never trusts me...
Hey, Todoroki-san...
Oh, Souma-kun. What is it?
How are thing lately?
What do you mean?
Like, has anything fun happened...
at work, for example?
Something fun, huh?
Did you remember something?
Now that you mention it,
Kyouko-san ate more of my parfait than usual the other day.
Crap!
And then yesterday, Kyouko-san said Kyouko-san about Kyouko-san, so Kyouko-san—
All right!
After this, let's take a break and have some snacks, okay?
Todoroki-san froze up.
Yamada wants to be treated with that level of affection, too.
Um... What was...
Um, sorry about that.
Popura-chan?
In the end, I couldn't get Todoroki-san to tell me anything.
It's Satou-kun's romantic rival...
Maybe I'll try messing with her a bit for him.
Manager!
What?
Want some chips?
You're a nice guy, Souma.
I tamed her with food without a plan...
What do you think of Satou-kun, Manager?
Satou?
Food.
Yikes.
She doesn't even see him as a person.
Why do you ask?
Oh, uh...
I was just wondering what sort of stuff you and Todoroki-san usually talk about.
Nothing special...
Actually, Yachiyo has been talking a lot about Satou lately.
Really?
It's unusual to hear her talk about people her age.
I mean, she doesn't have any friends and all.
Not sure why though.
It's only natural she wouldn't have many friends,
what with growing up around delinquents like you and Mashiba-san and all.
Anyway, I should get back to work.
I wasn't able to shake the manager up,
but at least I got some info that'll please Satou.
Kyouko-san?
You're making a mess.
Are you okay?
Is something bothering you?
I see...
So it's my fault?
I've never seen her question herself!
I'm hungry.
Munch
I guess it was my imagination...
Munch
Satou-kun, Satou-kun!
Where'd you go? Get back to work.
Forget that.
What?
Todoroki-san—
Actually, never mind.
Satou-kun's too soft. I shouldn't spoil him.
Instead, I should be mean here.
I decided it'll be more fun to keep it to myself.
I don't know what you're up to, but I still question your humanity.
Takanashi-kun has been carrying that girl around all day.
He really is fond of little kids.
Don't you think, Taneshima-san?
Taneshima-san?
Wh-What?
What's wrong? You seem down.
N-Nothing!
I was just thinking that Katanashi-kun hasn't pet me much today.
Is that...
No! I'm not jealous or anything like that!
How can I put it?
Um, I guess I was thinking that if I wasn't so short,
Katanashi-kun wouldn't really care about me one way or the other.
Now that an even smaller girl is around,
maybe our senpai-kouhai bond will fade away....
You're supposed to tell me that's not true!
Katanashi-kun, I can trust you, right?
Even if a smaller girl appears,
we still have our own senpai-kouhai relationship, right?
Man, having a real child sure is nice!
K-Katanashi-kun!
Oh, Senpai.
Thank you.
I really appreciate you working the floor so I can be with her.
Sure.
I figured you'd prefer that.
You're always looking out for me, Senpai.
I couldn't be a happier kouhai!
Senpai?
Did I say something wrong?
I'm sorry.
No, I'm the one who should be apologizing.
I was starting to think you only cared about me because I was small,
and you'd forget all about me if someone smaller showed up.
What are you saying, Senpai!?
No matter how many little kids there are,
you're my one and only little senpai, Senpai!
Katanashi-kun!
Senpai!
H-How sweet...?
You're going home?
Will you be okay on your own?
I-I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have been so loud.
Did I scare you?
Be nice to each other.
Thank you!
Goodbye!
Even though this is about someone I like,
I kinda feel I was left out.
Oddly enough, I'm not bothered by it at all.
I'm glad!
So we'll continue to have our senpai-kouhai relationship, right, Katanashi-kun?
Of course.
Even if I grow to be 180cm!
Sure...
Katanashi-kun! You're petting me too hard!
The Next Day
Good news, Yamada.
What is it?
They're coming.
The... The snacks...
No, I mean...
Th-the souvenirs...
You mean Otoo-san!?
I left for work a little early,
but I can't really stop by somewhere...
I might run into guys if I do.
If it isn't Inami-san!
Yamada-kun?
Oh, sorry.
I forgot that you're afraid of guys.
Huh? Did I tell you about my androphobia, Yamada-kun?
I heard about it from Takanashi-kun.
From Takanashi-kun?
I thought they didn't get along.
We had a chat the last time we ran into each other...
And now we're friends!
Huh?
Are you sure you're not making assumptions?
But what about you doing wandering around here, Inami-san?
I still have some time before my shift starts, so I was thinking about what to do...
Perfect! Then how about helping me search for my little sister?
We are looking for a person, right?
Yep, that's right.
When Otoo-san arrives, I'll let him try my special Yamada natto rice dish.
You really think she—
What!?
Inami-san, I found a cat in the bushes!
O-Oh...
Inami-san, Inami-san!
I found a housewife in the bushes!
I see... Wait, what!?
Who's she?
She's not here.
Yamada-kun...
Do you actually want to find your younger sister?
Of course I do. Why do you ask?
Well I mean, looking for her in a place like this is just stu—
Stu...?
Nothing!
I was about to say something I shouldn't.
Yamada is one step closer to completing the Happy Household Plan!
I just need a mother and a big sister to complete the ultimate family!
That's right. This should be a shortcut.
There's no way he'll find his little sister here...
He's depressed.
Yamada-kun is depressed.
He was only trying his personal best to find his sister.
How could I have been so thoughtless?
Man, I'm bored now.
Otoo-san is coming back.
In other words, he's returning to adopt Yamada!
Please hurry back, Otoo-san!
Okay.
Huh? Maybe I misheard you.
What's she doing in the bushes?
That aside, she seems nice, is older than me, and is a woman!
She would be a good candidate for mother of the Yamada family.
Um, are you married?
I am, but my husband is in a place far, far away.
Darling...
Is she saying her husband has joined the stars in the sky?
Do you have any children?
No, but I'd like to.
Do you like soap operas?
I do like my soaps.
You pass!
Well, thank you.
I'll bring her to the restaurant, and have her marry Otoo-san,
then Yamada will be adopted and live happily ever after!
This is perfect!
Let's go!
Where?
The road to happiness!
Road?
I haven't seen a road in three days.
Chief, I haven't seen Yamada around, but do you know where she might be?
Aoi-chan headed out to go shopping a little while ago.
Sheesh, that girl!
Just because she lives here, it doesn't mean she can blow off her shift!
Go easy on her.
Mahiru-chan should be here soon too.
Yeah, but...
Who's this?
Yamada's mother...
U-Um, Aoi-chan and I are good friends.
...candidate.
What!?
The plan is to make this old lady my mother.
Plan?
Also, you shouldn't call her old, Aoi-chan!
Yamada messed up! A thousand apologies!
That's okay. I am getting on in age.
It's okay if I call you "Mom" then?
I-I don't know about that.
Oh? You're back, Aoi-chan.
Yamada will be waiting outside for Otoo-san!
I see, so Otoo-san is coming back.
I wonder if he's finally found his wife.
She's right here!
What's she doing here?
Talk
Anyway, I need to keep her here!
Talk
Um...
Don't, Todoroki-san.
Souma-kun?
Just like with a wild animal, you mustn't approach her carelessly!
A wild animal?
Yeah.
I've had my fair share of experience at this.
Anyway, we can't just approach her without a plan.
Wild animals are sensitive to the presence of others.
He's really insistent on treating her like a wild animal.
To capture her unharmed, we'll have to lower her guard first,
and cut off all means of escape.
Stay calm... We have to stay calm...
Souma-kun is trembling!
Let's first seal off the exits, so she can't escape!
What's all that noise?
Is Yamada back?
I need to give her a good lecture, or this'll become a bad habit—
What are you doing!?
Takanashi-kun...
Don't ask any questions, and seal off the break room windows.
No, tell me what's going on first.
Is a typhoon on the way?
Otoo-san.
Come back, so you can meet Yamada's mother candidate.
Yamada is so excited.
What was the point of that?
What are you doing, Yamada?
Quit slacking off and get back to work!
Welcoming Otoo-san is Yamada's work.
Otoo-san doesn't need someone to greet him.
He just shows up out of nowhere—
Sorry about that...
Oh, don't worry about it. Welcome back.
Otoo-san!
Welcome home!
Otoo-san, you'll have to spoil Yamada today!
Oh, that's right.
Come with me, Otoo-san!
What is it?
There's someone I'd like you meet.
M-Me?
Where did Souma go?
Satou-san, order up!
Where's everybody else?
Otoo's returning today, so Yamada's probably riling things up.
Wasn't that hot?
What?
Okay, that should do it.
Yeah.
Hey, Yamada-san?
Who are you taking me to?
A person who is very important to us both!
I have a bad feeling about this.
What's with all this cardboard and tape?
She was here until a minute ago.
She really disappeared!
I was certain we blocked off all exits too...
Who was it anyway?
Someone who was going to be your wife and Yamada's mother!
I'm already married, you know!
I'm glad I didn't meet her.
What's wrong, you two?
Inami-chan's pretty late, don't you think?
She should be here by now.
She takes detours to avoid guys though.
Maybe she got lost in a forest somewhere.
You joker. She'd be a mess if—
Good morning.
Hi!
She's actually a mess!
Wh-What happened, Inami-chan?
And Kirio-kun, too!
U-Um...
Inami-san was helping me search for my little sister.
What?
And why are you all scuffed up?
Because we searched through the underbrush.
Searching for your sister through the underbrush?
Are you stupid?
He said it!
More importantly, Yamada-san...
Didn't I tell you to not trouble Inami-san again?
Are you so dumb that you forgot?
Don't misunderstand! I didn't forget!
I simply decided to bother her anyway!
At least give me credit for remembering!
Can you go home? I'm sick of talking with you!
See you later!
H-He's glaring at me...
Is he mad because I let Yamada-kun approach me, despite my androphobia?
T-Takanashi-kun, I heard you're now friends with Yamada-kun.
Huh?
So it really was just him assuming things.
