Okay. Ready, Yachiyo-san?
First, the "Kyo" in "Kyouko-san."
Right!
One, two...
Kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo- kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo-kyo!
Next, the "Sa" in "Satou-kun!"
Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa!
What the heck are you two doing?
Kyouko-san!
We were practicing saying "Kyouko-san" and "Satou-kun" smoothly.
I'm sorry. We were being noisy, weren't we?
I'm sure we were disturbing the other staff.
Actually, the others didn't say anything,
but the customers complained about a weird sound.
So they could hear us all the way out on the floor.

Something of Endearment
That looks delicious.
We should add that to our menu!
Please make it, Souma-san!
We'd need to get some beef first.
Hey, what are you looking at?
A special feature on chateaubriand steak.
Satoubriand, huh?
Our practice session is still on her mind.
Sa...
Shatou-kun!
O-Oh no! I messed up again!
Don't worry about it.
I don't mind if you fumble a bit, so go on.
Okay.
So anyway, she was amazing.
I really think Kyouko-san's one of a kind.
Yeah?
It really makes me happy when you listen to my stories, Satou-kun.
You always pay the most attention when I talk about Kyouko-san.
I'm always up for listening, so feel free to come talk.
Okay, I'm going back to work.
What do you want with Yachiyo?
Do you intend to make her your own,
call her over to your place,
and have her cook for you every day?
I'm not you.
But at this rate, falling in love with you won't change her.
I'm not about to hand Yachiyo over to someone who isn't going to help her grow.
Can you change her and make her love you?
I went a little overboard.
I'll trust those eyes for now.
I was watching that, Satou-kun!
The way you stood your ground against the manager was really cool!
You weren't so overpowered by her glare
that you couldn't actually say anything, were you?
Of course not.
Believe my eyes.
Get a hold of yourself, Satou-kun! This is the time to fight!
What are you gonna do? The manager is on to you!
It annoys me that she's the reason why,
but I'm fired up.
I'm mentally prepared.
Then Satou-kun, finally...
Yeah, I'm gonna tell her.
And if I get shot down...
I'll leave this place.
Sorry for leaving the kitchen to you if it comes to that, Souma.
Assuming you're going to be rejected is pathetic.
Don't worry about me, and show her what you're made of!
You're right. The extra work would be good for you.
If only you could speak so confidently in front of Todoroki-san too.
He did say he'd quit if he was shot down, but...
What's wrong, Yachiyo-san?
Popura-chan, I overheard Satou-kun saying he was going to quit.
What should I do?
That's an emergency!
Tell Satou-san how you really feel about him!
What are you doing, Popura-chan?
Giving you a supportive push!
This is the second time Taneshima put us together like this, after an awkward situation.
At the time, you said you liked me the most out of all the guys here.
Yeah...
Back then and even now, the manager may be the most important person to you,
but listen to me, Yachiyo.
I know there have been times when my ambiguity has confused you.
What do you mean?
Well, um...
Like when we went out drinking, or how on your birthday...
I gave you four presents.
To be honest, I don't know how you haven't picked up on it yet.
Is he mad at me?
So what I'm getting at is... um...
Yachiyo, I...
lo...
Souma-san!
Aoi!
Leave them be!
...ve you.
U-Um...
I'm sorry.
Th-The pause was so long that I forgot the first part.
Could you repeat it?
No, that's my fault. Sorry.
I really am sorry.
I stumble on my words whenever I talk with you,
and now I'm missing words.
Yachi—
It's too much!
Yachiyo!
Hey.
Did Todoroki come this way?
I didn't see her.
I've been out on the floor the whole time, and I don't think I saw her go out the front.
I see.
Satou-san!
Look! Look at this!
Yachiyo-san left a message announcing her intention to skip work!
Sorry, please let me skip work for a bit.
Yachiyo Todoroki
Sorry, please let me skip work for a bit.
Yachiyo Todoroki
I made sure to clock out, so I won't get paid for it.
Sorry, please let me skip work for a bit.
Yachiyo Todoroki
I made sure to clock out, so I won't get paid for it.
Sorry, please let me skip work for a bit.
Yachiyo Todoroki
I made sure to clock out, so I won't get paid for it.
Sorry, please let me skip work for a bit.
Yachiyo Todoroki
I made sure to clock out, so I won't get paid for it.
Sorry, please let me skip work for a bit.
Yachiyo Todoroki
I made sure to clock out, so I won't get paid for it.
Sorry, please let me skip work for a bit.
Yachiyo Todoroki
I made sure to clock out, so I won't get paid for it.
Sorry, please let me skip work for a bit.
Yachiyo Todoroki
I made sure to clock out, so I won't get paid for it.
Sorry, please let me skip work for a bit.
Yachiyo Todoroki
I made sure to clock out, so I won't get paid for it.
Sorry, please let me skip work for a bit.
Yachiyo Todoroki
I made sure to clock out, so I won't get paid for it.
Sorry, please let me skip work for a bit.
Yachiyo Todoroki
I made sure to clock out, so I won't get paid for it.
Sorry, please let me skip work for a bit.
Yachiyo Todoroki
I made sure to clock out, so I won't get paid for it.
And she's being super polite about it!
I made sure to clock out, so I won't get paid for it.
That's our chief!
Yachiyo-san!
Chief!
She's not here.
Yamada, can I check the attic?
Th-That's a girl's room, you know.
That's true. Taneshima, if you would.
N-No! Not even Taneshima-san can go!
Why not?
I-It's not like Yamada hid broken dishes up there...
Takanashi, if you would.
Yachiyo is missing?
That's right. I arranged to have her talk with Satou-san,
but she disappeared after that.
She's not outside, Kyouko-san!
I'm going out to buy sweets.
Sheesh!
She must still be in the building.
Yeah, she wasn't outside.
And I doubt she'd go anywhere with her uniform still on.
If she's hiding, it'd be somewhere in the restaurant...
These things here...
Yachiyo's always making sure everyone knows what's where, isn't she?
Yep. She is our chief after all.
Everyone likes her, huh?
She's considerate and really helpful.
If she applied all the skills she's been using here,
she could actually get a decent job too.
Yeah! Like as your wife!
No more beating around the bush.
H-Hi.
I-It's not what you think, Satou-kun!
I was just going to hide out for a bit, but I slipped and fell in here,
and then my sword got caught, so I couldn't get out,
and then the laundry clothes fell on me from the shelf.
I was too embarrassed to call for help.
I'm so hopeless...
That's not true.
You're not hopeless, Yachiyo.
There's so much you could be experiencing instead of wasting away at this small restaurant, stuck in a box.
Th-This is embarrassing, Satou-kun.
We can't continue on like this.
Let's get you out of this place.
Come on, Yachiyo.
Okay.
I'm out.
Thank you, Satou-kun.
Sure.
I'm sorry. I've been at a loss today.
When I heard that you were leaving,
I was sad that you were shot down, but more than anything, I felt lonely.
I don't know how you managed to overhear just that part of the conversation, but...
Before, when we were talking about who I liked, I pointed at you, remember?
Yes. You meant you liked the ghost that was behind me, right?
I can't actually see ghosts.
And well, we've had a number of mix-ups since then,
but basically, the person I love is...
Come closer.
I'm going to say it directly, so listen closely.
I love you.
I want you to see more of the outside world...
and I want you to be with me.
Yes!
Satou-san!
Yachiyo-san!
Ye—
The outside world is good and all...
but we're in the restaurant right now!
Wh-What should we do?
We should celebrate!
We have to congratulate them!
B-But I'd hate to intrude on their moment.
Yeah.
Then just congratulate me!
Why you, Souma-san?
Congratulate me!
Okay, okay. Congratulations.
Congratulations.
I can barely hear you!
Please congratulate Yamada, too!
Shut up, Yamada!
I'm happy for you, Yachiyo-san.
I was always troubled over the person Satou-kun loved...
b-but I never thought it was me!
I'm just so happy...
Yachiyo-san, you're burying me! You're burying me in flowers!
Huh? Where's Satou-san?
He sent me a text saying he'd be here no matter what,
but I bet he's at home with a stomach ache right now.
He did give it his all.

Still, the manager hasn't shown a reaction.
The chief's got a boyfriend now,
so I'd have expected some emotion from her, be it happy or not.
Katanashi-kun, that's...
Kyouko-san, shall I make you a parfait?
I don't need any parfaits.
W-Well, it doesn't have to be sweets. I could make you something else.
I'm not really hungry.
Even if you're not feeling well, you should eat something.
Drop it. I don't want anything.
H-How cold...
Kyouko-san won't eat my parfait...
I'm sure she's just not in the mood for sweets.
I'll call Satou-kun about this.
No. It's not my place to interfere.
And he did say he would come.
He will come, right?
If that punk wusses out now, I'll make him regret it!
Souma-san's angry about something!
Kyouko-san, are you okay?
You're just being considerate about Satou-kun and me, right?
You're trying to tell me that I should spend my time on him instead, right?
You've looked out for me ever since I was little,
and I know you would never say or do anything to hurt me,
so...
I don't care about Satou,
but if all you ever do is look after me,
you'll never experience the outside world, Yachiyo.
Rather than me not needing you,
it's you who doesn't need me.
Kyouko-san—
Hey.
I'm part of this too, so could you keep me in the loop about stuff like this?
You're being weirdly considerate right now,
but you still don't get it.
I...
I fell in love with
the Yachiyo who looks so happy whenever she talks about you,
the Yachiyo who works so hard for your sake,
the Yachiyo who gives her best for you.
It pisses me off that you're part of this!
But if you weren't around, the Yachiyo I love wouldn't be either.
So I accept the manager-loving Yachiyo, and everything that comes with her.
You did a fine job raising Yachiyo.
And now, give her to me.
Okay.
Also...
I'm gonna need some time off.
Okay.
Satou-san's been out for a week now.
Yeah.
I guess his stomach's still bothering him.
Jeez. Maybe I should raid his house and drag him out?
Please don't.
You're not considerate enough at times like this,
which is what caused the trouble last time.
You're right.
Consideration is important. I'll show some.
Yachiyo and Satou have started dating,
so I'm lifting the ban on coworker dating.
You can go out with someone too, Takanashi.
I won't say with who.
Wh-What are you referring to?
Who knows?
I-I-I-I wonder what she's talking about.
Good morning.
What are you doing, Takanashi-kun!?
It's my thing.
R-Really?
This has nothing to do with that,
but the manager said that since the chief and Satou are going out now,
the ban on coworker dating is lifted.
O-Oh, really? I wonder if there is somebody else who's in love.
I-I have to get to work!
M-Me too!
Come on, Takanashi-kun. Hurry it up!
Is a dish ready?
Hurry up and get together with her!
K-Katanashi-kun! Calm down!
Sort your feelings out calmly, at your own pace and in your own way.
Senpai...
Though I'm not exactly an expert at this stuff.
Thanks! I appreciate the advice!
Do it with passion!
At this pace, who knows when you'll reach an answer!?
I don't need your advice.
Now Souma-san's focusing on me...
But I do need to come to an answer.
I smell love in the air.
There's Mom to consider too.
When did it start?
When did my relationship with Inami-san go weird?
Um... That's it!
Katanashi-kun seemed really troubled yesterday. I hope he's okay.
Good morning!
Katanashi-kun!
Kotori-chan!?
I'm going to work like this for the time being.
Wh-What happened?
You hated dressing up like a girl!
I thought about Inami-san and myself.
I think our relationship went weird around the time I dressed up like a girl.
So in order for me to calmly assess the situation,
and despite my reluctance, I decided it was best to dress up like this!
It's thanks to your advice!
So this is my fault!?
K-Katanashi-kun, your determination is admirable,
and it's great being able to see Kotori-chan again...
but, um...
don't you think you're straying off course?
It doesn't matter as long as I reach an answer in the end!
R-Right! Sorry!
It's been two weeks...
Still, this is a pretty long dream...
No, it's not a dream.
And I should get back to work soon.
Satou-kun!
This dream keeps getting crazier.
This is great! I finally got to see you!
I've been wanting to pay you a visit for these two weeks,
so I asked Souma-kun for your address and rode the subway for the first time by myself,
but I got lost on the way here several times,
so I had to head back when it got late, but I finally made it today!
It's like a dream!
You haven't said anything.
Don't tell me this is a dream!?
Ouch.
See? It's not a dream.
You came so suddenly that I thought maybe it was a dream myself.
It's not a dream.
See?
Well, come in.
Thank you.
So this is real...
It's delicious.
I'm glad. I was worried when I heard you had a stomach ache.
You sure this is all okay with you?
I mean... With us and all, you know...
You weren't just swept up in the moment?
Satou-kun! Do you think I'm a little dumb?
More than just a little actually.
Certainly, I'm a little slow, not just with romantic relationships,
but any relationships in general.
But you paid attention to me,
listened to me go on and on about Kyouko,
and supported me like it was no problem.
And more than anything, you're very kind.
You're so dear to me.
I've felt that for the longest time.
My stomach hurts even when she speaks fondly of me.
But when you said you were in love with a ghost,
or were going to quit if your romance didn't work out,
I was shaken up about this person you loved that I couldn't see.
I didn't understand my own feelings.
But when you hugged me and said you loved me,
all kinds of things just melted away, leaving only the truth.
I love you, Satou-kun.
Good to hear.
Also, I thought I'd better get my act together, so I had an idea.
What is it?
I'll tell you once I decide for sure.
I can imagine what it is.
Really?
Anyway, I'm going to be a good girlfriend,
who won't burden you, so p-please look after me as well.
Same here.
Oh, look at the time.
You missed the last train.
Last train?
The last subway train for the night.
Really?
Th-Then I'll take a taxi home.
Oh, I spent all my money on the ingredients for dinner.
I'll drive you home then.
That's right, my parents are using the car tonight.
So in the end, I stayed over at Satou-kun's place.
I slept in his bed while he slept on the floor.
Is that so?
So he's starting work again today, right?
Yes.
Sounds like he's gotten better.
Good for you!
You guys...
Sorry for all the trouble.
H-He hasn't gotten better at all.
