Shift Schedule Hiroomi Souma: Off Yachiyo Todoroki: Off Jun Satou: Off
A new shift schedule...
The same day off as Todoroki.
This is my chance.
Maybe I'll invite her out for a drink.
And then I'll tell her how I really feel about her.
Yeah. I'll do it!
Don't stand behind me and flap your gums!
That hurts! But I'm not gonna give up!
I'm gonna keep harassing you until you quit being a chicken!
Course 3 Greatest Night Ever
Oh! Hi, young man!
Last time, Mikki got away from me, so this time, I grabbed Darling
and we came to Wagnaria together and started drinking,
you know, and drunkenly babbling, so my little brother,
that's Souta Takanashi, told me to leave, but I wouldn't,
so he shut us up here in the break room.
I'm Mashiba, the guy who got dragged into this.
Incidentally, we're lovebirds!
Just a Dumb Drunk
W-We're not even going out!
Well, make yourselves at home.
I'll take my break another time...
By the way, young man...
You're hot for the chief, huh?
You are?!
You really do like the chief?!
So that's why Mitsuki...
What, are you going somewhere?
To petition the gods...
So that's what she was doing.
It crossed my mind I hadn't seen her lately,
but that's what she's up to...
All right! I'll give you a lecture on the art of seduction!
First, invite her to go out drinking!
Then, after you get her drunk, take her to a dimly-lit place.
S-Satou...
This kind of thing is embarrassing.
What are you talking about?
Isn't this what you came for?
T-This is...
Yeah! That's it!
Don't use degenerate fantasies to toy with people!
Tell him, Darling!
Me?
I think it's important to have faith in the person you love,
and not be afraid of hurting them...
To have the courage to take that first step without hesitation...
Throb
I love you too, Darling!
I'm glad it's working out for you.
No, this isn't what I was talking about...
But that's no good! I love you, but that's no good!
You have to be more aggressive!
Love is a martial art!
Offense is the best defense!
You need to take an aggressive stance.
Neither of you understand love.
I'll preach to you both!
I told you...
...not to bother anyone!
I'm not!
In any case, good luck.
Unlike Mashiba #2, you're not opposed to it...
I want the chief to be happy.
If you can beat my sister and Mitsuki,
and win the chief's heart, that'd be awesome.
I'm all for it.
But if my sister tells me to kill you, I will.
I can't tell if you're my enemy or ally.
In the end, I didn't get any kind of break.
Is your break over, Satou?
What are you doing?
Actually, there aren't many customers today,
so I thought it would be a good time to organize the storage area.
I see.
To have the courage to take that first step without hesitation...
Take her to a dimly-lit place.
If you're still tired, you can take a longer break, Satou.
Those toothpicks are perfect!
Yeah. Recently I can put them in by touch alone, with my eyes closed.
Only something you could do.
A skill you've mastered because of your little hands.
Takanashi...
What is that?
Shift Schedule Hiroomi Souma: Off Yachiyo Todoroki: Off Jun Satou: Off
Satou, good work today.
What's wrong? You've been looking at the shift schedule all day.
Are you tired?
Do you want me to ask Kyoko to give you less hours?
Off
Your day off?
That's your day off, too.
Oh. So it is.
That day...
Let's... go drinking... together.
Yes!
You did it! Satou did it!
It barely counted as a sentence, but you did it!
I wonder what's wrong with Souma...
Don't worry about him.
So, are you free that day?
Oh, of course. Sure.
I see.
I just felt an "It would've been fine if she'd refused" aura.
Satou invited me to go out drinking.
This'll be my first time...
In fact, this is the first time a friend has invited me out anywhere.
How should I act?
I'd better get advice from someone.
Kyoko doesn't really drink...
Somebody...
Everyone's a minor.
What's wrong, Todoroki?
Um, Souma...
How are you supposed to act when you go out drinking?
If possible, I'd like her to go without having any preconceived notions.
Sorry. I can't help you out there.
But you're well-informed. So why not?
Because I don't have any friends.
I-I'm sorry!
No. I'm... sorry, too.
What should I do?
If I go out drinking without knowing anything
and do something that Satou finds rude...
Chief!
Another beer!
Teacher!
I see. So Blondie invited you to go out drinking.
Yes. But this will be my first time, so I don't know what to do...
Uh-huh. Okay, I'll teach you the "how-to"
of drinking booze for the first time.
Thank you!
First, buy new underwear.
U-Underwear?
Well, just calm down and listen.
Since ancient times, drinking alcohol has been a sacred act.
You drink at New Year and weddings, right?
So you mustn't be rude to the liquor.
Anyway, new underwear. Got it?
Y-Yes.
Although I go braless sometimes.
O-Oh...
I'm sorry, Chief. I don't want to get involved, so I'm leaving you in the lurch.
What else? Let's see...
Booze is fun. Drink it, but don't get swallowed up.
Having a buzz is best.
It seems like you're always roaring drunk, though...
And I've saved the best trick for last.
First, take off your outer layer.
So there's a surprisingly deep connection between alcohol and clothes.
Then you say these words:
"I think I'm drunk."
Now you try!
R-Right!
"I think I'm drunk."
Okay! Then he'll be putty in your hands.
U-Um, what should I do after that?
After that?
Do your best!
Right! I will!
I'll do my best.
I'll do my best... I'll do my best...
Satou, I'll do my best.
When we go out drinking, I'll do my best.
O-Okay...
F-First, I-I'll buy new ones...
But what kind of underwear should I buy?
Takanashi...
Yamada?
Is there something wrong?
Sorry. Actually, since the other day,
Yamada has been captivated by Takanashi,
in effect becoming Inami's romantic rival.
Huh...
Yamada was prepared for a minor squabble,
so what is that weak response?
You are confident even with Yamada as your rival?
Th-That's not it. So, what's wrong?
To be honest, Yamada hasn't been able to forget being petted by Takanashi the other day...
Oh, I see.
Being petted felt good.
Yamada wants to be petted again, but isn't short like Taneshima.
Yamada hates having a nice body.
N-Nice body...
Can't you do something?
Yamada wants to be petted.
You can't become little like Taneshima...
For starters, maybe you should get everyone's opinion.
Good idea! And in the end, Yamada will be petted like Taneshima!
It feels like Todoroki has been strangely troubled since I asked her out.
That makes me feel uneasy. And...
...Souma struggling to hold back laughter also makes me feel uneasy.
Who else would know about underwear?
Kyoko, have a parfait.
Oh, that's right.
K-Kyoko...
What?
Kyoko, what kind of under...
N-Never mind.
I can't ask her that. I'm too self-conscious!
I can only ask a girl about this...
Chief, what's wrong?
Oh, Takanashi, um...
I'm sorry, but I want to talk to the girls.
Can I ask you to cover for them in the meantime?
Sure.
What's it about?
U-Um, fabric, frills, ribbons, like that...
About handicrafts?
Katanashi's petting?
Yamada really wants him to pet her.
It's not fair that he only pets Taneshima.
In that case, I bet if you work as hard as you can,
he'll praise and pet you...
She ran away!
That was fast!
Excuse me...
Can I ask you for advice?
Underwear?!
D-Don't shout it!
After all...
Where is this coming from all of a sudden, Yachiyo?
U-Um, I was wondering wh-what kind of underwear to put on
when going out with a friend.
Oh. If it's just a friend, whatever is fine.
No! This is a battle! A competition!
A competition?
When do we want to be petted?
Why are you asking us?
Yamada wants to consider everyone's opinion.
Satou, you often mess with Taneshima's head.
That's because her head is positioned in just the right place.
Uh-huh.
Why don't you put something on your head that he'll want to pet?
Huh...
And also work hard...
As always, she's fast when running away.
We've got an order.
Takanashi, where's everyone else?
Oh, yeah. I guess the chief wanted to confer with the other ladies about something.
Confer with them?
About lace, frills, fabric and stuff...
Maybe she's going to make clothes.
Clothes...
Is that what she's been so troubled about?
But would Souma find that so hilarious?
There really are all kinds of underwear, isn't there?
Yeah!
Mahiru is really serious!
I appreciate it.
None of these sizes would fit my chest!
No! I've got to think about Yachiyo here.
I-I think this is cute!
And it's got a lot of ribbons...
Although they don't have it in my size...
Oh, it is cute!
And this one has a bunch of frills!
Again, not in my...
Oh, that's cute, too. I can't make up my mind.
This is...
I-I'm sorry it's so hard for me to make up my mind...
How about this?
It says "a little sexy, lucky underwear."
That's too sexy...
I'm sorry.
You're doing everything you can to help and I can't decide...
I couldn't help hearing about your predicament, Chief.
Matsumoto...
Normal. Normal is best!
You can't go wrong with normal!
Wise words from Matsumoto!
Simple is best!
Yachiyo.
About going out drinking... You don't have to put much thought into it.
Right. Normal!
I'm going with normal.
Sorry. I've kept you waiting.
Shall we go?
Yeah.
Come to think of it, is that today?
Satou and the chief going drinking.
Yeah.
What's the sigh for?
The thing is, I really want to tail Satou,
but he and I are the main guys for the night shift,
so if I took off work to follow him, he'd have to come in to work
and couldn't go out on the date.
Oh, what should I do?
Please work without the dramatics.
Alcohol is yummy!
You're sure a normal pub is fine?
I wanted to try coming to a place like this.
Is everything okay? Am I acting weird?
No, you're fine.
I-Is white all right?
White?
Are you a strong drinker, Satou?
Oh, so-so.
I thought so.
She's really slugging it down.
I worried about whether she'd be a crying drunk or one who gets into arguments...
Oh, that reminds me.
The other day, Kyoko ate a lot of my parfaits,
but they were all gone before I knew it.
Still, it's cool how she eats with such gusto.
but she's no different than usual.
Sheesh, that guy...
All right. Petting plan #1.
If Yamada puts her head in the right position,
Takanashi will want to pet it.
Yamada. You're in the way.
Fail!
Petting plan #2!
Putting something petworthy on the head!
This is cute.
Fail.
Yamada didn't want to do this, but it's the last ditch effort.
Yamada will work!
Yamada...
Do you have a fever?
Close!
Yamada tried so hard, but nothing worked...
What's up with you?
Takanashi.
The other day, you mistook Yamada for Taneshima and pet her head, remember?
She said she can't forget about how good that felt.
If you don't mind, would you pet her head?
True, motive aside, Yamada did get down to work without being told.
Just a little.
It doesn't feel very good.
Do it more like you do with Taneshima, just the right way...
I can't do that.
I can bring all my ability to the fore with her because she's so cute.
But I can't with you, because you're Yamada.
What?!
Yamada did her best, but all that effort was for nothing!
All that work was for nothing!
It's your job, so what do you mean it was for nothing?!
The usual chop!
So Kyoko likes soup curry, red curry, dry curry...
But let's change the subject for a moment.
The other day, I bought underwear at a shop for the very first time!
I always buy it through mail-order catalog,
Yachi...
but I didn't have time, so I went to a shop
and there were so many bras and panties with frills...
Todoroki!
Have I made a mistake?
No. How can I put this?
How did you choose this topic?
I was told that underwear is important for drinking alcohol.
Who told you?
Takanashi's big sister.
That idiot!
I-I think I'm drunk...
Well, are you about ready to go?
Sure.
Thank you for dinner and drinks.
Well, I invited you...
Thank you for inviting me, Satou. I had a great time.
Going drinking, of course, but I prepared a lot for it beforehand,
doing things I don't usually do...
Like going shopping and asking other girls for advice...
I see.
Plus, you're a nice guy.
You always introduce me to a variety of new experiences.
Thank you for everything.
If you don't mind, stay with me forever, Satou.
Me, too.
I want to be with you forever.
Sa...
Sorry. I'm drunk.
No, I'm not drunk. I went too far.
I went too far, but I meant it.
See you.
Hello, I need a taxi.
Yachiyo, take it home.
See you.
Yeah.
The same Satou as always.
Cheer up, Souma.
You'll feel better if you hug Daisy.
Maybe you're right.
Hug.
I just felt something!
Something happened between them!
Dammit! I'm dying to find out what it is!
I wanna know!
Souma is scary.
I wanna know! I wanna know! I wanna know!
One man's mission to defuse the explosive Inami
becomes even more intense. In the end...
