Satou!
Good morning!
Why did you suddenly hit me?!
That's violence!
Your "I-know-everything" grin irritated me.
I don't know anything!
I was just working as hard as I could for your sake!
So that's some kind of thanks!
Sorry.
If he hit me, then I'm guessing nothing happened...
S-S-Satou! G-G-Good morning!
Hi.
Satou, did something happen?! Did you do something?!
Tell me!
Course 4 Heart Knocker
Satou, um... Last night...
Thank you for last night.
I mean for treating me!
S-Sure.
A-And, um...
Aside from treating me...
Wh-Wh-What did you mean by that?!
Figure it out for yourself.
S-Satou, it was hard for me just to ask you that...
Last night my effort went beyond the range of what I deem acceptable.
He told me to figure it out for myself.
I can't, which is why I mustered the courage to ask him...
Satou hugged me to him...
He hugged me tight.
He smelled like cigarettes.
Totally different from Kyoko.
Well, he is a man.
When Kyoko hugged me that time, she was softer, like...
That's right. Like this.
What's wrong, Yachiyo? You're spaced out.
Kyoko!
How can I put it? I went to a showdown, got squeezed...
And somehow...
Showdown...
This is a showdown!
Squeeze!
Squeeze...
Friendship?
Friendship?!
Is that a mark of friendship?
Maybe...
Friendship... Of course.
Satou and I are friends.
Satou is in love with someone, but he gave me a hug of friendship.
Why do I feel down?!
Satou and I are friends!
Satou? It was with Satou?
Y-Yes...
Then...
...go show Satou how you feel right now.
I wonder if I'll be able to get it across.
You'll be fine.
For things like this, you need to think about it yourself and carve out your own path.
Carve out...
Put away the sword.
Yachiyo is acting strange.
Yeah. I wonder if something happened.
I just hope it's nothing we need to worry about.
Yamada will ask!
Don't you dare.
Um, Satou...
A-A-About last night, I'm going to tell you honestly how I feel now.
Okay.
I may not want to be your friend!
I haven't sorted out my feelings yet...
...and it might be a hassle for you, since you already love someone...
...but for some reason, when I think about being friends with you,
I feel gloomy, or how can I put it?
Satou, are you listening to me?
You're done with me?
Satou?!
No, that's not it!
T-The opposite...
I didn't hate it when you hugged me,
and I can't find the words to answer that yet...
...but instead of being friends, um...
Yachiyo...
Satou...
My stomach can't take any more, so I'm going home.
Satou!
Yachiyo?
The Next Day
Hey, Blondie!
Oh, it's you.
Has the manager called you in to help out again?
Not today.
Then why are you here?
You haven't been doing anything strange to milady while I've been gone, have you?
Nothing that I should feel guilty about.
Then there's no problem.
Because I don't give you permission to have a relationship with her.
If you truly loved milady, I'm sure you would know a lot about her!
So I'm here today to test your love!
Accept the challenge...
...of the Milady Ultra-quiz!
Milady Ultra-quiz
Quiz?
Yachiyo...
What's wrong, Popura?
The customer at table eight said he hasn't received his coffee yet.
Oh, no! I'm the one who took his order.
That's the third time today.
I'm sorry.
That's not what I mean.
Has something happened, Yachiyo?
N-N-Nothing's happened!
Yachiyo, you can't drink the customers' coffee!
If you loved milady, of course you would have to know a lot about her.
So I'm going to test you with a quiz.
All right, question 1.
What mail-order catalog does she often look at?
I don't know.
Question 2. What is her favorite type of clothing?
I don't know.
Question 3! When is milady's birthday?
I don't know.
Her blood type!
I don't know.
Her height!
I don't know.
Her hometown!
I don't know.
Her shoe size!
I don't know.
Her favorite TV show!
I don't know.
So she's not acting like her usual self.
I hope Yachiyo is okay.
Satou wasn't feeling sick or anything, but he hit me for no reason.
That was mean of Satou!
He's been acting weird since the two of them went out drinking,
so I'm positive something happened.
But he hits me every time I ask about it.
Then he does have a reason.
Maybe she's got something on her mind.
I wonder if she would confide in me...
I tried mediating an argument between the two of them before, though,
and it didn't work out.
Since Yachiyo is older than me...
If we're talking about waitressing experience, I'm only second to her!
So as an experienced waitress, I'll pick up her slack!
I'll do my best!
Then I'll do my best as your father!
What does that mean?!
All right! I'll give it everything I've got!
First I'll carry this to storage...
I'll do it.
No surprise that I couldn't do it myself.
You should just work hard at the things you can do.
The things I can do...
Come to think of it, Yachiyo does a good job assigning staff
to the work they're good at or are enthusiastic about.
Ah! Katanashi!
Yes?
You can pet me every time you go the extra mile!
I'll do my best!
It worked, but I'm afraid for later!
The restaurant has gotten a little crowded...
I hope I'll be okay with the men...
Inami.
I've been seating only women in that corner.
Would you serve that section?
Thank you, Taneshima. That's a big help.
And also!
If there's a man and you feel like you're going to hit him...
...hit this instead!
Man
I made it myself!
Th-Thank you. That's a big help.
Aoi...
Taneshima.
It looks like you're being clever to make people work hard.
But Yamada broke five plates today and has no enthusiasm,
so there's no way you can instill the will to work.
Aoi! Work hard to make up for the plates you broke!
Be as stick-to-itive as natto!
N-Nice job bringing natto into it, Taneshima.
Never mind the farce, just get to work, Yamada.
Bastard. Never mind that you didn't know any of this to begin with,
you should've at least asked her!
Has no comeback
Sheesh. Unresponsive bastard.
Then there's no point in even asking you this set of questions.
What?
In case you could answer my questions about milady,
I brought questions about Kyoko.
Since she and milady are inextricably linked.
Question 1, when's Kyoko's birthday?
October 22nd.
Blood type!
B.
Favorite TV show.
She doesn't watch TV.
How does she spend her days off?
Lounging around or ravaging restaurants that have eating contests.
Shoe size!
25.0.
Favorite food!
Everything.
Things she hates!
Everything but eating.
Don't tell me you're in love with...
No.
Then how the hell do you know so much?!
I just remember Todoroki telling me all of it.
Jeez, you're hopeless.
I'm surprised you can claim to love milady...
I, uh...
Sorry. I'm going.
I've been so distracted today that I've hardly done any work.
H-Huh?
Yachiyo.
All your work is finished.
Popura...
You did it all for me?
Nope.
Everyone else did it. I didn't do a thing!
I thought it would be a good idea to delegate tasks while I worked,
but it was all I could do just to delegate.
The idea was for me to work hard so you wouldn't have to worry about it,
even if you were worried about something else.
Thank you, Popura.
I have to do my best, too.
Satou!
Yachiyo is in a better mood.
I see...
I wonder what the cause was...
I'm going back to work.
Jeez! Satou...
What's wrong, Kyoko?
Good morning, Takanashi.
Good morning.
Takanashi, we're almost out of straws.
I'll fill them up.
Takanashi, it's time for your break.
I'll take it.
Takanashi, is your break over?
Yes, it's over.
Inami is cute when she doesn't punch me.
What do I mean, cute?!
It doesn't make sense. I'm not making sense.
Cute is... Cute is...
This is what it is!
You're praising me, but I'm scared for some reason!
What is it?
Compared to my big sisters, Inami is...
There's just no sense of pressure.
What's wrong, Takanashi?
No, no! There has to be something annoying that goes along with her mature age.
I have to find it.
I have to find it and revise this line of thinking...
Revise...
I'm like a stalker...
Katanashi, what's wrong with you today?
Yachiyo.
Yes, Kyoko!
Would you like a parfait? Strawberries? Chocolate?
No.
Satou...
Satou, sugar?! You're finally down to raw ingredients?
No, I mean the human.
S-Satou?
What happened after that?
Um, he seemed a little troubled, uh...
Did he stalk you?
N-No!
The opposite. Um, I mean, I couldn't get the right words out...
I just wish I could talk normally to him...
I see. Leave it to me.
Kyoko!
The two of you confirm the stock of everything in storage.
Kyoko!
Should we get started?
R-Right...
Tangerines
Um, bread crumbs...
Six.
Cans of tangerines.
Three.
We go through 'em quick.
Because the manager eats them.
I know.
It's easy to talk to him when it's about work.
Kyoko really is smart...
Didn't really think it through that much
Finished.
Yeah.
U-Um, Satou...
L-Let's act normally around each other.
That's my intention...
R-Right.
A-Also, um...
Invite me out again!
The door's locked!
S-So embarrassing!
Kyoko! Kyoko!
Yachiyo.
We can open it from the inside.
S-So you can.
What am I doing? Jeez...
Satou, why are you looking away?
Never mind, just go.
I feel annoyed for some reason.
Inami!
Yamada...
Welcome.
Party of one! Non-smoking section.
Certainly...
This is no time for you to be annoying me!
Takanashi! That hurts! Ow! Ow!
What is it? You're so young, and yet irritable?
My observation efforts didn't go as planned.
Observation?
Of me?!
Takanashi, I'm not interested in that kind of thing.
Takanashi! I give up, I give up!
I'm just trying to figure out Inami's....
I don't know what's going on,
but Takanashi is thinking about Inami.
Then I'll give him a little push,
for the sake of Inami, the girl he loves.
Takanashi, it sounds to me like you're in love with Inami!
Casually
Kirio.
You can't sleep here.
Bad boy!
When it comes to love, helping someone can be life-threatening.
T-Takanashi!
Yamada is dying over there...
Did you do it?
I really think you went overboard...
Takanashi, it sounds to me like you're in love with Inami!
No.
I definitely don't!
Oh?
Kyoko!
Thank you. Because of you, it seems like I'll be able to talk to Satou normally.
Oh?
I did my best!
Oh?
Good for you.
When I'm with Satou, I can do my best with all sorts of things.
It feels like I've discovered a new world.
Are you okay, Kyoko?!
Your bat's hanging out of the wall...
Satou...
Well, do your best, in various ways.
Takanashi.
I can serve dessert to the customer at table eight, right?
Definitely not!
D-Did I do something?!
Definitely not. Definitely...
Inami! Inami!
Yamada.
What's wrong?
Yamada has noticed that it seems you're on Takanashi's mind!
You don't mean...
An Inami who doesn't hit men must shine to him!
Now is the time to put yourself on the market, Inami!
Sell what you've got!
A special bargain sale!
A b-bargain sale is a little...
The point is, this is your chance, Inami!
I-I'm not sure...
Yamada will act as your producer!
Let's go on the attack!
According to this book of secrets that somebody threw away here...
"Women's behavior that men respond to..."
"Casual physical contact."
"Hugging him from behind is effective."
Menacing
From behind...
Touching him is a tall order.
Then looking at him with upturned eyes.
U-Um...
T-Takanashi...
He scowled at me...
That means he's thinking about you!
Next... "A pleasant smile."
Smile...
I've done that before, but he got really mad at me.
Although that was after I'd punched him...
Try and try again!
He's in agony?!
Maybe he's thinking about me, but he sure is acting strange.
A-Are you okay, Takanashi?
If you don't feel well, you should rest in the break room.
No...
"Casual consideration..."
Inami's got game!
How can I put this?
Recently, I get a good vibe from you, Inami.
And yet it looks like it's killing you to say that...
S-Still, a "good vibe," huh?
I have to admit it against my will.
It doesn't matter what Yamada says...
Inami is slightly, barely, blink-and-you-miss-it cute...
Yes, a good vibe. You haven't been punching men, for one thing...
R-Really? I, um...
Yes. Now if you'll just be cured of your hatred of men
and live happily ever after with someone you're in love with,
it'll relieve me of a big burden.
I'll feel refreshed, you know?
Ow...
I-Idiot...
I-Inami...
I-I hit you...
Even though you complimented me...
And you're not an idiot. I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
Inami...
Inami, Aoi...
Y-Yamada apologizes for failing as a producer.
It's not your fault, Yamada. Sorry. I'm sorry...
B-Both of you, get a hold of yourself!
Will a boy who's obsessed with tiny things and a girl who's terrified of men
overcome their quirks to give us a moving episode of love and tears?
