Serial TV Story
At year's end, Mineko had lost her job.
At a time like this, I guess her feet would lead her here on their own, wouldn't they?
Okay! Let's eat.
Huh? He's quite the handsome man, isn't he?
I'm sorry!
Sorry, sorry.

Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Thank you very much.
Sorry.
Huh?
I'm one coin short... Eh?
10 Yen Coin
Huh?
Here.
Eh?
Ah!
It was right over there.
Sorry about that. Thank you very much!
Not at all.
Thank goodness!
Um...
Yes?
This may be unnecessary of me, though.
Yes?
You were at fault, weren't you?
Eh?
You opened your purse in the middle of this intersection...
...and when you do open your purse...
...such a thing was bound to happen, wasn't it?
It was, wasn't it?
What's more, while it didn't happen this time around...
...you were as much as telling any thieves around that you had a purse here.
Dad... This stranger was angry with me.
And then, I was watching you all this time and I think your way of searching for things...
...will, rather, result in you never finding them.
Ah...
To put it briefly.
For example, suppose you dropped something around here.
Yes.
And then...
You should have first searched this section until you could say with certainty that it wasn't there.
And then on to the next section...
Understand?
Yes.
In your case you thought, "is it over here? No, then how about over here?"
"No? How about over here?"
You only half-searched all of them.
I don't think you can find things that way. Understand?
That's true, huh?
Yeah. Be careful from here on.
Yes...
So long.
Thank you very much.
Dad...
I did think what he said was right...
...but wasn't he watching me from the start?
In that case, he should have said he would search for it with me...
I'm sorry...
Still, thank goodness that I found it.
This college student's name is Shimatani Jun'ichiro-san.
Keiyo Boy Shimitani Jun'ichiro
He's a student at Keio University.
Everyone, please remember him, okay?
Ah!
I've done it again...
Don't you think it'd be better if there was an auto onion peeler?
Senior Cook Igawa Genji
Apprentice Cook Maeda Hidetoshi
I don't think so.
You don't think about anything.
Science won't develop like that.
Ah, sorry, sorry, I made a mistake in the counts. This is the last.
Hello!
Ah, she's come! The end-of-month Croquette Girl.
Hey, what was that?
You make it feel like I don't have a lot of money, though.
That's for sure.
"Today a croquette."
"And a croquette next month, too." Right?
Ah, what's up?
Ah, um...
Ah, that's right. We're not open for business?
Yes.
If it's you Mineko-chan, I can let you in.
Ah, that's okay, that's okay.
Um, that would be wrong of me since it's your day off.
Correct, Croquette Girl.
Like I said, please stop that.
Though true the restaurant was open just 5 minutes ago...
...since we're still on our break time...
...so saying, "Would it be okay?" to let a customer in? They wouldn't like that.
Right?
Really?
And we absolutely don't let 'em in just before the store closes, either.
Well, that's like basic manners for people in the restaurant business.
You've... stopped working your hands.
Huh?
Um... I've been thinking this a whole lot recently...
...but when you have a place to work at...
...you should feel very grateful for it.
And you should really be cherishing it!
Right?
Yes!
I understand already!
Ah... I'm beat, I'm beat. Yo, you're working hard!
Yo! Thanks for your hard work.
Hello.
Huh?
Ah, she's a customer... Um, the once-a-month one.
Owner of the Chinese food restaurant, Fukushiro Fukuda Goro
Ah... the Payday Girl, huh?
There's that, right?
You're the girl aiming to order the Beef Stew at the end, right?
Yes.
Fried Rice!
Be quiet. None is needed. Ain't you doing this on purpose?
Goro's Wife Yasue
After I finish making the fried rice and set it out...
...you deliberately make orders for that fried rice, don't you?
When you get an order for stir-fry, then come and fetch me.
This isn't considerate of you at all!
Huh?
Tell him what you told us earlier. Say what you said to get him working.
Um... I think you should be very grateful for having...
...a place like this to work at.
And you should really be cherishing it!
Eh?
You really...
That's true, isn't it!
Yes!
Who are you?
Look, she's the one who comes in once a month. Look just once a month and once only.
Sorry it's just once a month.
Ah! The girl from Ibaraki!
Ah... yes.
Ah! I see!
That's a very good thing you said, but you've got things wrong.
It's this foolish woman who doesn't appreciate her husband who fries food until he's covered in sweat.
This store wouldn't run if it weren't for me.
There's no cooking without this arm of mine. She just doesn't get that.
Right?
Right!
Huh?!
Once I can do the cooking for our shop...
...then I'm firing you. Got that?!
Hi... Hide-chan... Oi, Hide, Oi!
Um...
Fried rice...
Ah!
Ah! Ow, ow, ow, ow!
Fried rice!
All right already!
They're from the Chinese restaurant Fukushiro next door.
Ehh...
This place is amusing somehow, isn't it?
Really?
Yes.
They've come again.
Ah... I won't do it.
Yo, noble's son!
Don't joke. What noble's son?
He's the son of the wagashi shop over there.
(Japanese sweets)
Ehh...
By the way, he hates sweets.
Wagashi Shop Kashiwagi's Noble's Son Yasuharu
Eh? That's a waste.
That's wrong? Because I'm the son of a sweets shop...
...it's wrong of me to hate sweets?
No, I'm sorry.
Shouldn't you try saying it again?
Look, that about having a workplace and all.
Just tell him... and bam!
Um... having a place to work is...
Shuddup! Just leave me alone!
I'm sorry...

Red beans, red beans, red beans
Aan, aan, an
Those tiny, tiny, tiny beans!
Choichoi choi tte na!
Wagashi Shop Owner Kashiwagi Ichiro
Yo! Japan's best!
This is the President of the wagashi shop and his father.
Ehh...
Yasaharu! What are you goofing off for?
Boil the beans! Boil 'em!
All right already! Going on and on about those beans!
Well obviously, since we're a wagashi shop, after all.
Thanks to those beans, you've gotten this big.
Your body...
...is made of those beans. Right?
That's true! You go, Bean Prince!
Beans! Beans! Shut up about beans!
Your face is like a big bag of unsold beans!
Sounds good!
Right? It would be good, right?
My son is attentive when it comes to "unsold beans."
He's a genius, a genius!
Right?
Ah... I hate it! I hate sweets!
There it is again. All a wagashi shop has is sweets!
They're good! Gimme one.
Who are you?
Um, I'm...
Never mind. Beans! Beans! Beans!

Weird father and son, aren't they?
Ah, I'm beat, I'm beat.
Hey, fried rice!
That hurts! Ow, ow, ow, ow!
Dad...
Tokyo has all sorts in it, doesn't it?
Don't fall.
See you again!
So good...
Wonder if I'll ever be able to come again?
It's delicious...
Suzufuritei Owner Makino Suzuko
What's the matter?
I see...
That is tough, isn't it?
Yes. It's been a turbulent year's end.
Still, talking about it has refreshed me.
Really?
Yes.
Huh?
Eh?
Then...
You haven't gotten a job yet?
No.
The Housemistress at my dorm is looking for one for me today too, but...
Ah... I see...
I see...
Yes.
Want to work here?
Eh?
Thankfully we've been getting a bit busier...
...and so I was thinking of looking for someone to be our Dining Hall Clerk.
Eh! Eh? Really?
Well, we don't have a place for you to live in here though.
Yes.
But the landlady of the apartment house behind us here is a friend and will let us rent one.
Shall we do that, Mineko?
Are you sure? Really? Really?
Then let's do that.
Yes!
And if it's you, I won't have to check your background.
You're sure about my background?
Since I know your Father's and your Mother's characters.
I won't need to confirm any more of your background than that.
I'm incredibly happy...
What should I do...
Thank you very much! Truly!
You're pleased, right?
Yes!
Ah, that's right!
Eh?
Excuse me! One Yatabe Mineko, coming in!
Sure thing! One Yatabe Mineko... Huh?
Chef Makino Shogo
Huh?
Excuse me for coming in...
Let's please work together!
What'll I do...?
Huh? Though this was a long-awaited development, there seems to be a problem, doesn't there?
Ichiko, you're cute today too, aren't you?
"Taka-chan, you're cute, too!" Ah, geez!
"Taka-chan, you're beautiful!" Ah, geez!
Dining Hall Clerk Asakura Takako
Could it be... it's something about this person?
