Servant x Service Eps2
Huh?
Miyoshi-san's not here?
Miyoshi-san, what are you doing?
Oh, um...
S-Sorry... I can explain...
Oh, there you are!
Saya-chan, please hear me out! My daughter-in-law is...
Don't Panic, Make a Scene, or Throw Away Your Job
Once elderly people get a hold of me,
I end up listening to their stories for hours and...
I feel horrible, but I've been hiding from them...
But if you're hiding, you can't even do your administrative work!
Miyoshi-san!
I'm sorry...
Ichimiya-san, now she's really feeling down.
Do something, Senpai.
R-Right...
Well, I think you're pretty average for a newcomer, Miyoshi-san.
Keep it up!
You're doing pretty good!
R-Really? Okay...
You're doing really great!
This year's newcomers are all amazing!
Yamagami-san is fast, she can focus well and is clever...
As for Hasebe, he does his job better than I do already...
Don't you get depressed, now!
I'm sorry for causing trouble, you guys.
I really have to get my act together...
U-Uh...
Hello?
All right, understood.
I wonder if Miyoshi-san is okay...
Well, you're both women and newly employed, and you're doing so well,
so she might just be feeling the pressure.
I didn't mean to do that to her...
Even if you don't mean it...
I know. Maybe you can act like you're still trying to learn things, too.
F-For example?
Let's see... like you drop the documents all over
and be like, "Oh, I messed up!" or something.
Uh... right...
And be like, "I can't do such difficult tasks,
please help me, Hasebe-sama!"
I'd rather die than do that.
You're so heartless... This is for Miyoshi-chan!
A-All right...
O-Oh, I messed up...
H-Hey!
Don't take a picture!
Don't worry, I'm taking a video.
That's even worse!
H-H-Hey!
I can't discuss anything with Hasebe-san.
That's it! I should consult with Chihaya-san.
Excuse me, Chihaya-san, do you have a moment?
3 Principles For a Great Workplace Smile (*^_^*) Greetings (^o^)/ Polite Interactions!
U-Um...
What's the matter, Yamagami-san?
Animeju
I see... that is definitely a concern.
I'll give it some thought, as well.
Thank you very much.
By the way, Yamagami-san,
I have something to do tomorrow and need to take
the day off, so could I ask you to cover for me?
Yes, of course!
So, what is it you have to do?
Seems like something fun...
I wonder if Miyoshi-san is okay today.
Well, Miyoshi-san is important, too, but I have to do my best
for Chihaya-san, today, since she isn't here.
Yamagami-san...
Huh? Chihaya—
Chi-Chihaya-san!
What happened?
I took the storage key home by mistake...
you're gonna need it, so I'm giving it to you.
U-Um...
See you, then.
Wait! What in the world happened, Chihaya-san?!
I'm not Chihaya...
I'm Magical Flower Gerbera Pink!
Sorry...
Oh, uh... So this was what you had to do?
Yes, it's a breach of etiquette, but the venue is nearby.
There are a lot of get-together events for cosplayers...
So I can keep cosplaying, I'm a temporary employee who can easily take days off.
Temporary?
That's right. I didn't take the civil servant's test, so my term is limited.
I'm pretty much an "irregular" staff member.
When you say "irregular" looking like that,
it takes on an entirely different connotation...
Long live temp employees!
Are you interested in this?
No... it's just that I've never seen a book like that before...
If you'd like, I'll let you borrow them.
Thank you very much...
So, this is like where you make your own book to sell it?
I've seen that on TV before.
Doki Doki Flowers
It's something like that.
A lot of civil servants make doujinshi.
We easily get vacation time for Obon and New Year's,
so this country definitely supports otaku.
I feel like this country has some issues, but...
Oh, what is this? A Manga Club?
Oh, I'm sorry. I'll clean this up right away.
It's okay. Let me see...
Is this what I think it is?
Yes,
Itemaiya!
it's an anime currently popular with girls called Magical Flowers!
Wow...
I know that title. It's also a game, isn't it?
Wow, you know quite a bit.
Yeah, I play lots of games.
FF, DQ, Pokimon,
Mariko Kart, Dokimemo, AER, Fete, etc.
You play all kinds, not that I'm familiar with them...
I play everything.
There were some adult titles in there...
Chihaya-san?
What's up?
Civil servants aren't allowed to dress flamboyantly,
so is that a bit frustrating for you?
Cosplay isn't only about being flamboyant.
For example, this is a civil servant cosplay for me.
Civil servant cosplay?!
Nurses and office ladies are a part of cosplay, too.
So in a way, Yamagami-san,
you're doing a civil servant cosplay, too, right now.
What?
I feel embarrassed all of a sudden...
Then take off your clothes and stop doing cosplay right now!
What?
Oh, right...
Are you an idiot?!
You weren't fooled...
Of course not!
Even putting cosplay aside, you dress quite plainly, Yamagami-san.
Oh... Well, I'm not really all that interested in clothes.
I think black is generic, so it's safe.
Black... I see...
Even if I got into fashion, I wouldn't look good in anything I wore.
Even these clothes are a waste...
Since they're a waste, take 'em off.
Shut up!
Yes, regarding that matter...
Then, I'll leave it to you.
Okay.
What is it?
Yamagami-san, is it really not that you aren't interested in clothes,
but that you can't find the clothes that fit you...
Because of your breasts...
No! Mine might be big for my height but they're nothing special...
F cup!
D-Do they look that small?
Thank goodness...
F is small? What the heck?
Anyway... clothes are important for professionals.
You have to give them more thought.
You're right...
So, Yamagami-san, let's do some anime character cosplay.
Why?!
Once you experience it, you can wear anything.
That's too much experience for me!
I always thought you would look good as Rose Black.
R-Rose Black?
Magical Flowers
She's a friend of Gerbera Pink.
N-No way! I couldn't wear such an outfit!
It's all right.
Rose Black represents black, as her name suggests.
The safe, generic black, like you said.
Even though this one shows the most skin...
Black might be okay... but please, let me think about it.
I see...
Well, I know about clothes more than most people,
so please, let me help you.
I love seeing people enjoying clothes, myself included.
I would love to see you enjoying fashion.
Chihaya-san...
I-I will try to do my best.
I look forward to it...
Seeing you as Rose Black...
Chihaya-san... is a such nice person.
Hey, wait a sec...
You can't just... I-I mean, I'm sorry!
What's the matter?
Were you scolded, Senpai?
Did some of our citizens scold you?
She's coming...
Everyone... prepare yourselves...
The nuisance is coming...
Nuisance?
You call me, a law abiding citizen, a nuisance?
You public servant!
It's a high school girl!
It is a high school girl!
She's a high school girl!
That's Toko-sama!
Toko-sama!
S-Sama?
So, Senpai, who is this high school girl?
She's a regular here... a health welfare nut.
I'm not a nut!
I-I'm sorry!
I've been coming here
to do the health and welfare paperwork for my family.
Memorizing welfare laws is my hobby. Nice to meet you folks!
Now I will administer a test for you new employees
to see if you were able capable of your jobs.
What?
U-Um... Why...
Because I'll be in trouble if you can't do your job!
What did you mean by "test"...
I'll just have you act like you're at the customer counter
and I'll see if you can properly do the paperwork.
A little too much time on your hands, Toko-chan?
Shut up! I'm offering to ascertain if you're
able to serve the citizens as a legitimate civil servant.
Okay, I got it. Let's do the test!
T-Try not to provoke her too much, she's scary.
Scary?
She knows way more than most professionals.
So if you're not on your guard...
By the way, since
you confused "nursing senior welfare facility" and "nursing senior insurance facility,"
how can you be expected to teach the newcomers?
Are you stupid? Are you just going to die?
As you can see, she rips apart your soul, so you have to be careful...
Hang in there, Ichimiya-san!
Then I'll go first!
So you're going first? Then—
Toko-chan, which high school do you go to?
Which year are you in? Do you have a boyfriend?
Do you have a lot of friends?
Will you introduce them to me?
Wait a sec! Let me speak!
Why are you making her mad?
Then, how about this?
If I can answer your question, give me your email address.
Huh?
Come on, is it a deal?
Okay, but if you get it wrong, you'd better watch out.
Sure!
What is article 78 section 7 of the nursing insurance law?
As designated by article 42 section 2's first clause,
a person conducting business related to
senior nursing living facilities and their caregivers
may resign from the position with at least one month's prior notice.
I got a high school girl's email address!
It's hard to tell if he's smart or just plain dumb...
N-Not bad...
All right, you're next. You will do the simulation test.
O-Okay?
Pretend that I'm a client that came to your counter.
Well... then please fill out this form...
Um, please don't get too angry...
If you don't do anything weird, I won't get mad at you.
If you scold me... I... I...
I said I'm not mad!
U-Um, uh... well...
What?
Why don't you make yourself a little more clear?
Why're you being so mean to Saya-chan?!
Tanaka-san (76)
Wh-What?!
Who do you think you are?
Not to mention, you're wearing such a short skirt.
What will you do if your lower body gets cold?
My son's wife is just like you, showing off her legs... I'm so ashamed!
Um... Please don't be so mad at her.
Next!
I'm sorry... Well, I'll do my best, so...
You seem normal. What's your name?
Huh?
Your name. I wouldn't mind remembering it.
Y-Yamagami Lucy Kimiko Akie Airi Shiori Rinne Yoshiho—
Quit screwing around!
Jeez! What's with this year's newcomers?!
Hitting on a girl,
summoning an old lady,
having some ridiculous name!
You'd better educate them properly!
C-Calm down...
At this rate, you're going to disturb everyone.
She hugged him!
Calm down, Toko!
Calling a high school girl by just her first name?
Here you go, Toko, a welfare guide...
I have this month's newsletter, too
Ooh! I'll read.
I'll give you some allowance,
so go get some cake and read it at home.
Yay!
He gave her money!
He gave money to a high school girl!
Be careful on your way home.
Crap! Both the citizens and my protégés are giving me an icy stare!
He was hugged by a high school girl and even gave her money!
Ichimiya-san, you're so vulgar!
No! I'm her—
Toko Ichimiya...
Oh, this is the application form from earlier...
That girl's last name is...
Toko Ichimiya...
Ichimiya...
I'm her unreliable brother...
What?!
Oh, they're just brother and sister...
Causing a scene like that...
People tell us that we don't look alike.
Senpai, why did Toko-chan turn out that way?
She wasn't always like that...
Hurry up with my snack! Give it to me now!
You suck at doing my hair!
Stupid! Stupid!
Sorry, she's always been like that...
Ichimiya-san, you apologize too much!
The reason she became interested in the ward office was...
Onii-chan, what's that building?
Oh, that's a ward office.
That's where they help people who are in trouble.
They help people in trouble?
Yeah, let's see...
they consult with you on various issues, too.
Speaking of which, I'm considering working there, Toko.
While I'm at work, you'll be home alone,
but you're responsible and you'll be okay on your own, right?
Besides, you don't like me all that much...
Perhaps it's better if I'm not around.
A few days after I said that to her...
I'm home.
Oh, welcome home, Toko. Where have you been?
I was at the ward office.
The ward office? Why?
People at the Health and Welfare Division taught me a lot!
Apparently, we can get quite a bit of money
if we ask for mother and child assistance
or high-priced medical or nursing services...
But we haven't applied for anything!
S-Sorry...
And you!
Y-Yes?!
You're only gonna make chump change working part-time.
You need to become a civil servant right after high school.
It's a good, reasonable job because the income and work hours are steady.
I-I see...
S-So you stay home and study!
Ever since then, she's loved the ward office...
No... it's not the ward office she loves.
I came for you again today!
What happened to school?
I was bored, so I just stopped by!
So it's not about the ward office or the welfare matters...
Hey! Why are you staring off into space?
Oh... I'm sorry.
You make your living off of our tax money, so get your act together!
You're causing problems for the people and your senpai, who's my bro—
My brother...
You like your brother, huh?
Hey! You think it's funny?!
No...
You're working right now, so get your act together!
Come on, Toko...
I see...
this does affect the job.
Lunch Break Special Meeting What to do about Miyoshi-san.
So we're going to have a meeting.
A random meeting has begun...
Some clients request the impossible,
so you have to learn to draw the line.
I know, but I tend to say too much,
so now I have a habit of holding back what I want to say.
I got it.
Since you want to change yourself, you should try
"Blue Hydrangea" cosplay!
Chihaya-san, leave the cosplay out of this.
Then this calls for drastic measures.
Drastic measures?
If that's the case, I wouldn't mind cooperating.
Toko-san...
That's the spirit, because in the end, it's for your beloved brother.
Shut your mouth, Chihaya.
Do you think it will work out?
She'll be fine. She won't be easily discouraged.
Well, give it to me straight, what's on your mind.
O-Okay...
Well...
What if she gets mad or I hurt her...
But she said she'd cooperate...
But...
Spit it out already!
She got mad before she said anything!
Don't you have any pride? Don't you have anything to say?!
Miyoshi-san, do it! Just say a little bit!
She's right. Like, "You're just causing trouble, so leave, Tsundere."
Shut up, Chihaya!
Um, Toko-san...
What?!
I learn a lot when you come to the ward office a lot
and I don't mind, but it's kind of a waste of your time,
because by doing this, your brother will never understand your feelings...
ever...
What's going on?
What happened?
Toko?
What's wrong?
Miyoshi... She...
What did Miyoshi-san do?
Just now... she...
There's No Way She Can Say It
Damn it! Apologize! Apologize to me!
I-I'm sorry...
She's taking her anger out on her brother...
She's perfect for Hydrangea.
Chihaya-san, even now you're talking about cosplay...
No, because hydrangea... its flower meaning is "brutal."
Come on, Toko!
Cut it out!
You're being a bother!
Because of you, Miyoshi-san cannot do her job.
Go home and watch the house, okay?
I'm gonna go... I'm not coming back anymore...
Atta girl.
You finally understood.
I kind of feel sorry for Toko-san.
Miyoshi-san?
Wait, Toko-san!
You give me lots of valuable information,
so please continue to educate me...
You can come anytime you'd like...
P-Perhaps every second or third day, if possible.
Y-You've got some nerve, Miyoshi!
B-But if you insist, I guess I don't have a choice.
I will come again!
I'll work you to the bone!
So you'd better be prepared!
Miyoshi-san is such a nice person...
But again, it doesn't help her focus on the task at hand, either...
