So annoying.
She's small and yet she's so loud.
Who does she think she is? Telling me what not to say...
Screw you. Die.
Oh no...
What were you mumbling on about?
Nothing...
The Waves Room customer said he doesn't want any breakfast today.
That novel writer really thinks it's all our fault.
Hey, why don't we eat his portion of fish then?
Ah, but I need to keep my stomach empty for...
What's the matter?
I'm preparing myself for something.
Good morning.
Ah, good morning.
Revenge served on a dish...
What if she puts lizards in it instead of just taro...?
I'll eat it.
The lizards!?
You'll eat it too right?
If you dislike her, that is.
No... I don't dislike her.
It's just that... she doesn't avert her eyes when she talks
and is really loud.
Episode 3
Hobiron
She kind of scares me.
Let's do this.
That girl... betrayed us!
I didn't make breakfast today because I thought she would...
This is unforgivable. Tohru-san is going to be mad at me again-
So much... taro...
Spinach...
But where is she?
That's right.
At that very moment, I was caught up in an unthinkable situation.
Waves Room
Let's see...
Oh! Um...
Take this and pass it through here...
100 Bondage Techniques
Ah damn it...!
100 Bondage Techniques
I couldn't even tie her up tortoise bondage style properly!
Hm-
You need to start from here.
I-I see...
Thanks.
I'm being taught bondage by the person who's being tied up...
Ah... hey wait-
Don't worry. I won't scream.
Oh, is that so...
That aside, why did you have to tie me up and gag me?
You read that novel, right?
"Hot Springs Waitress' Foamy Training"?
That part about me being a famous writer is actually a lie.
I figured as much.
I can't write anything.
No matter how, I just can't write anything.
Nothing's coming to me.
I thought if I tried living like a hermit, something would come to me...
...and then with that I'd win an award and turn everything around.
So that explains the "foamy" draft.
I tried writing an erotic novel this time in order to pay for the inn fees.
Why does it have to be erotic...
I couldn't even write properly.
I have no talent.
I'm done for.
Come on. Don't be like that.
Whether a person has talent or not is not something one can figure out alone.
In that case... can I ask a favour of you?
Eh?
Eh...?
She's not in the hall either.
Mr. Beans, how's it over your end?
How could she have disappeared in the middle of cooking?
Could it be related to the disappearance of that writer's draft?
You mean the culprit could be hiding in this inn?
Maybe she's come to dislike us...
Hm, let's call the police.
But that's... No, you're right. We should.
I did some horrible things to Ohana-san.
We can contact the police and have them investigate.
All right, I'll go get the phone.
Maybe she went back to Tokyo.
OK. Meanwhile I'll-
Leave it at that for now.
Huh?
There won't be any more customers today.
We'll be doing major cleaning duty for hard-to-reach places.
But landlady...
Oh yes, Nako.
Y-Yes?
No need to be so reserved.
I'll teach you everything. Not just things about the inn.
Even the noises you make at a time like this are loud.
No, don't say that.
So, do I have any talent?
Is my voice really that loud?
Oh, well... it's not very quiet...
But why did you choose to write about me?
T-That's because I've been watching you.
No! I haven't been peeping on you while you bath or anything!
I mean it! I swear!
So it's a no-go.
It's boring right?
It's not a matter of whether it's interesting or not yet...
I-I want to shine!
Don't worry.
If you let us rub you there, I'm sure you'll be shining in no time.
But that's where...
You want to shine huh?
My body sure is sore...
Jiroumaru-san, is this-
Um, I'm here to clean your room for today.
I'm fine. You don't have to it today.
Sorry, I was told to check the lights too.
Just go away!
It's because you people are always so concerned with such things that you lost my draft!
But...
I'm getting tired of this already!
I-I'm sorry!
Is this useless inn filled with nothing but useless waitresses?
You shouldn't say that.
Wait. Why did you show yourself...?
That's because you went too far.
Ohana-san...
I have no choice.
If it's come to this, I'll tie you up too!
What the...
Damn it. I'll tie this old guy up tortoise bondage style-
Eh? What's going on?
Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!
There's no way I can tie up this many people...
It's impossible!
Wait! Jiroumaru-san!
I see.
So everything he said was a lie.
That son of a...
I let him off with all that sexual harassment because I thought he was famous!
He was always complaining about our food too!
Landlady, we should really call the police this time!
Police!?
I agree!
Hold it.
We shouldn't jump to conclusions until we hear it from the customer himself.
Don't you believe what I just said?
That's not what I mean.
However, we mustn't doubt the customer's words any further.
We shouldn't doubt him? But we saw it, you know.
Mr. Beans was about to get tied up tortoise bondage style.
Anyway, the case this time is-
That's our car.
Who's driving it then?
Get back here!
I can't even break the rules at a time like this. I really am hopeless...
I can't break out of my shell...
Hey, you! Open up!
Damn it.
Wai- Ren-san!
Go for it, Ren-san!
Bean curd skin.
Huh?
What do you say about adding it to our menu next month? Landlady.
Sure. Let's try making it.
There doesn't seem to be much tension.
You got that right.
Here we go...
Eh?
Um...
O-Ow...
Never mind. It's nothing.
He's here.
I wonder where he went.
Are you OK?
Somewhat...
Look over ther-
He's gone.
Damn it.
Over there!
Hey! That's dangerous!
Stay away!
Stay away from me!
All this time...
...I've been acting all high and mighty...
...and lying to you all.
But the landlady... saw through me right from the start.
I'm ashamed of myself.
Taking advantage of her goodwill like that...
Someone like me should just disappear-
She didn't do it out of goodwill.
The landlady told me that she only did that because it was her job.
There's no way that the landlady could be so kind.
Wait, wait, wait... you...
You ruined the mood I worked up...
I'm sorry, but that girl is right.
Landlady!
Even upon knowing the customer's situation,
it is our job to never doubt the customer's words.
Besides, if you win an award and pay off the inn fees,
we'd be even then.
Nobody knows what the future may hold.
Once you win an award-
No. As long as you never give up, there will always be a chance.
You will still be a customer of ours.
That was a bit too cool.
No, I still can't!
It's impossible!
No no no no no.
I have no talent!
I will never win an award!
Jiroumaru-san!
I don't... want to die!
Huh?
Hey, let's go save him.
Ohana-san! Hold on to that please.
Nako!
Hey, stop-
Amazing.
Will she be all right?
No need to worry.
Her nickname as a little girl was "water child."
Wh-What?
She's been taking swimming lessons since the age of 3.
Come, let's go meet Nako.
Nako!
That was so cool!
Are you OK, Nako?
Minchi.
I'll go grab a towel.
Nako-san.
I couldn't even kill myself.
I'm...
You're still going on about that?
Seriously... I'm...
Jiroumaru-san, you do have talent!
I want to shine.
What are you saying? All of a sudden.
It's a line from a novel Jiroumaru-san wrote.
Minko-san, Nako-san and I are in it.
Eh?
Um... In it, we're in a bathhouse using a mop...
...and rubbing each other in unusual places.
Huh!?
That novel was perverted,
but you captured something about me that I didn't even realise myself.
I didn't come here because I wanted to work.
I was upset and wanted to do something about it.
I couldn't even understand my feelings properly myself.
But, Jiroumaru-san taught me... that I wanted to shine.
Ohana-san...
I don't know a lot of novels, but...
...I think it's important for a writer to have keen senses.
You taught me something I didn't know myself.
You really are a true writer!
I'm so sorry!
Jiroumaru-san ended up working at the inn.
He'll be working to pay off his inn fees, while aiming to win an award.
Eating a meal by the sea just makes it taste so much better.
Not yet, young man.
Eh? Cold hearted, huh?
Nako-san.
You were amazing today.
You looked so cool swimming.
Shall I teach you?
Eh?
I'm sorry. You wouldn't want to learn something like swimming.
No, not at all.
I wasn't able to teach you how to be a waitress very well,
but I'm a bit more confident about swimming, so...
Hey! It's ready!
Let's go!
OK.
Smells delicious!
Eat up, everyone.
Ah, there's spinach.
Hm, it goes well with small fish.
I'll serve you.
Here.
Enjoy.
She ate it!
Ohana-chan?
Yes! She ate it! She ate it!
I really don't get her sometimes.
Yay!
She ate it!
Hobiron!
H-
Hobiron?
Dear, that girl...
She's the spitting image of Satsuki.
Ah, has Jiroumaru-san moved yet?
It was originally a futon storage room,
but well, he will just have to bear with it.
Hm? Denroku, what's the matter?
You knew, didn't you?
Whatever do you mean?
That Ohana-san would fix it somehow.
There's the saying: "Everything comes in handy when used correctly."

Another inconsiderate text from Mum?
Maybe I got my inconsiderate nature from my mother.
Sorry I didn't go see you off.

Good luck!!
Kou-chan...
It was a mysterious feeling.
When I was in Tokyo, I took all the texts we had for granted.
For a single text from Kou-chan to make me so happy...
Good luck.
