Alright.

It's hot!

You've gotten really good at this, Tetsu-chan.

Aah... It still hurts a little, though.

That's because it's stiff.

This pelvic misalignment is causing poor blood flow, which is triggering the pain right now...

Ahh, that feels so much better. Thanks. - No problem.

But it must be tough, right? It’s been crowded lately.

Yeah~ With the shortened hours, it might be getting a little packed.

You also have Airi-chan now~

At that age, even on days off, parents can't really rest.

As for now, it's manageable.

I get it, though, if you can't afford it other way.

Kids cost money in all sorts of ways, huh..

Take care.

See you. - Yeah.

Ah, damn!

Hello. - Oh, welcome back.

Sorry. Work got crazy. - No, no, it’s fine.

Dad, you're late!

Yeah, let's go home. Bring your shoes.

Well then, excuse me. - Thanks.

Bye-bye Bye-bye~.

Hey, I need shoes.

What happened to these?

They came off while I was playing today.

Buy me new ones? Please? Please? ...

Alright. Then let's go buy some now. - Yay!

What about you, Seiichiro?

Ah, you need some too? - Yeah.

Ah, just wear these for now. There.

After all this hustle, this is it?

Sorry, I'm late.

The meeting ran a little longer than expected.

Welcome home.

What happened?

So basically, you'll be in trouble unless you make more money, right?

Yeah, that's about right.

With shorter hours, I can only handle so many customers.

Even though I can't work long hours, my expenses are higher than before.

It's tough, huh.

Oh, what about hiring part-time help? - Part-time?

Yeah.

I thought if you could reduce the burden even a little, maybe you could handle more customers.

That's true. That might work.

But I don't have the budget to hire someone with experience.

Ah, but what if it's just helping out?

Even if it's just running general chores, it could free up a lot of your time.

But I'm not good at teaching people stuff.

Really? I think you could do it, Sengoku-kun.

N-no.

Hey, Dad, let's play a staring contest! It's fun.

What's that about?

Well, I might as well give it a shot.

Papa and Daddy's Home Cooking

Let's work together!! Part-time positions available no experience necessary! All ages and genders welcome Job description: Reception and assistant duties at an osteopathic clinic Hours: Starting at 8:30 AM Hourly wage: ¥1, 150 and up If you wish to schedule an interview, please call the number below.

So, you've got zero experience, right?

Any part-time jobs before?

Food service, daily employment, and I've worked in a host club.

I'm confident in my stamina.

When can you start? - Today if possible.

Alright then. You're hired.

Seriously? Awesome!

Thanks! - But

if you're gonna work here, you better do it right. - Of course.

Nice to meet you.

So you finally got a part-timer. - Yeah, I guess.

Cute kid, huh?

Is Tetsu-chan bullying you?

So far, so good.

Bullying? Hey, bring the charts.

Yes, happy to.

What you did today is

what you need to learn first.

Um, taking appointment calls, reception,

cleaning... what else?

Oh, hold up a sec.

Massages? When will I learn those?

What are you talking about? There's no way you can do that right away.

Plus, you need a license. - Eh?!

Oh, really?

I thought I could just pick up amazing stuff super fast.

Like, god-hand skills.

Hey, you.

Oh, sorry.

Got a call. Hold on a sec.

This isn't just a generation gap.

Seems pretty tough, huh.

Well, just from what I hear, he sounds like a fun kid though.

I thought he'd be okay since he's got charm.

Maybe I should've been wary when his ID photo looked like a photo booth.

But hey, he's just starting out. Things will change, for sure.

Are those things that change with time?

The passage of time is important.

For the time being, just work with him a little longer.

He'll get used to it gradually. - Yeah.

I hope so.

Good morning! - Hey, you're late.

Oh, that's true! Even though I left on time.

Why? - Why are you asking me?

Hey, don't slack off. - Sorry.

I didn't get enough sleep.

Oh no~ - Your hands are so smooth, aren't they?

No, that's not true.

Yes, ma'am, this way please. - Excuse me.

Please have a seat. - Okay.

You look lovely today. - Oh no!

Hey! Cut it out.

Tatsuya, handle the payment. - Yes.

Izuka-san, sorry to keep you waiting. Please come in.

Alright. - Hello.

Hello.

Huh? Today?

Wait a sec.

Ah, turns out there's no reservation.

But I made one with this fellow on the phone.

Huh?

Oh, sorry. I forgot to write it down.

Could you wait a moment?

Ah, sure, no problem.

Thank you.

Hey, you. Come over here after your shift.

Got it.

After your shift.

Got it.

You actually plan to work seriously? - Huh?

What's up all of a sudden? Of course I do.

Ah, well, it sure doesn't look like it.

Is that so?

I'll overlook the tardiness and slacking off, but what was that today?

Don't go grinning like an idiot after causing an inconvenient to a patient.

But I apologized properly. And he wasn't angry or anything.

That's not the point.

I'm saying anyone who can't treat patients with respect has no business working here.

You should say something.

You're being a bit too pushy.

Huh?

Fine, whatever. Fire me if you want.

No reason to stick around after that. Thanks for everything.

Hey, wait!

Hey, Tatsuya.

What the hell was going on with that guy?

Is that Gen Z for you?

Nah, no way.

I'm the one training him...he's totally not getting it - Dad is scary~

Ugh… This makes no sense...

Oh, really?

Guess I'm just not cut out for like, training people and stuff.

Hmm. Do you think it'd be pointless to contact Akutsu-kun?

Ah, probably, given how things are.

But, I mean...

Huh? - Oh, no, nothing.

Well,

I'll just quietly work alone.

Even if we hired someone new, it probably wouldn't work out anyway.

Alright.

Ah, totally changing the subject, but Harumi, are you free this weekend?

Ah, I'm free for now.

Ah, then let's hang out for a bit.

Okay.

I want to do it too. - Ah.

seiza: kneeling with the tops of the feet flat on the floor

Sit seiza-style.

Here. - Thank you.

Thank you.

This is for, Airi-chan. - Sorry.

This is for Seiichiro-kun - Sorry.

No, thank you for coming every year.

No, we're sorry to just come over on our own.

Thank you, Harumi-san too. I'm happy we could meet.

The pleasure is mine.

Whoa! Seiichiro! - Hey, keep it down.

Stop running.

We're sorry. - Sorry. They're noisy.

It's been a while since it's been this lively and fun.

But it's strange, isn't it?

Who knew Tetsu-kun had such an adorable daughter.

I'm blown away too.

Speaking of which, I never thought I'd take over the master's business either.

Certainly.

He'd be surprised too.

Oh, do you want to eat something?

I was thinking of having hamburgers.

Brings back memories, huh?

Just wait a sec. - Yes.

Hey! - Gotcha! Yeah!

Alright, you can't run anymore.. - Waaah!

You're being annoying!

Hey! This guy's tough.

Shut up Like hell I’d stay quiet when someone’s glaring at me.

I said I don't have it, dammit!

Hey! Guys. If you're gonna fight, do it somewhere else.

What the hell, you!

Let me go! Old man!

If you backed down you wouldn't get into fights.

I don't know about that. They just started it out of nowhere.

You've got spirit! Wanna work for me?

Huh?

You've got plenty of strength to spare. I'll hire you.

What are you talking about?

This sucks...

It's enough... - Just shut up and come.

Welcome back.

He is...

He's going to work with us, he's Tetsu.

Hold on, I haven't decided yet. Seriously, let me just go.

Shut up. You're hungry, right? Eat up. - I don't need it.

Tetsu-kun. Nice to meet you. Welcome.

Come on. - What?!

Come in.

Just wait a sec.

Mom, how's it going? - Almost ready.

Can't you just sit still?

Wait! Don't open the lid yet.

He'll lose his mind.

That's an exaggeration. Oh, Dad, get the plates ready.

See? Looks delicious, right?

How about it? - Eat up, okay?

Yeah, yeah. - Alright.

Now, let's eat.

I'm leaving.

Hey, wait, kid! Where are you going?

Tetsu...

It's rare to see you at this hour.

What? Do you come to ask for food money? Here.

Shut up.

Don't want it?

Hey.

Old man.

Why'd you leave? Did I offend you?

It's uncomfortable. - Uncomfortable?

The nice room, the sounds of cooking...

Don't be nice out of pity.

Leave me alone.

Whatever. Here, eat this.

Mom said

young folks these days probably find this easier to eat.

Yeah.

Hey, look.

It's good.

Of course it is.

It's my favorite dish.

It looks delicious.

I can't wait to eat it! - Then, let's eat it?

Let's join our hands together. Let's eat!

Delicious.

Parent and child, huh. - Tasty.

No matter how many times I eat this, it's always delicious.

It's incredibly juicy. - Really? That's great.

It's been so long since I cooked for someone else, I got a little nervous.

Can I get the recipe later? - Sure thing.

Thanks.

But seriously, Tetsu-kun cooking for the kids, that's great.

You must be busy. With work and all.

Not at all. No problem.

Don't say that.

You've been going through a lot lately. With Akutsu-kun gone.

Don't say unnecessary things.

Did something happen?

Well, it's nothing big.

I see.

It's tough. Young guys these days.

Well, I guess it's partly my fault for not teaching him well.

But seriously, that guy's just weird, you know?

Why won't he listen properly when I'm teaching him?

I seriously don't get it.

Huh?

Eh, are you laughing if I'm not mistaken?

Sorry, sorry. You just remembered me something.

Dad, you know, when Tetsu-kun first started working, he used to grumble a lot like this too.

The master? - Yeah,

exactly like this. You kinda surprised me.

Um, I thought the same thing. - Right?

Well,

I didn't say anything 'cause I thought you might get mad,

but hearing about Akutsu-kun,

it kinda reminded me of how the master and Sengoku-kun were back then.

What's that about?

Remember when I started going to the clinic?

You used to fight a lot back then. It was similar.

Plus, the master said this.

Ah, thank you. I've gotten much better.

Hey, that guy forgot his cell phone! Master, I will return it!

Sengoku-kun, he is working hard, right? - Yeah.

He's always whining and complaining, though.

It's tough, young people.

Well, I'm partly to blame for not teaching him properly.

That must be hard.

But I learn things from him too.

Well, he's still got a long way to go, of course. Tetsu.

Master, said things like that.

Dad was short-tempered too back in the day, but he changed a lot after Tetsu-kun came along.

So, maybe both Sengoku-kun and Akutsu-kun can change from here too,

even though it's just my own thinking.

But I don't think I can be like the Master.

That's not true.

Tetsu-kun, you're really kind.

Why don't you tell him to come back? To that Akutsu-kun kid.

Sorry for staying so long.

No, really, thank you so much for coming.

Well then, see you.

Tetsu-kun. - Yes.

Here.

Share this with everyone. Can you carry it?

Don't push yourself too hard.

We're always on your side.

Bye-bye. - Grandma. Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Thanks for having us. - Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Akutsu Tatsuya

I'm hungry.

(Answering machine service)

Not picking up?

Struggling through the dazzling night and day

Things don't go as planned, and there's a lot of anxiety

But I'm not the only one trying my hardest

You're the same too

Ah-Even if you're different from everyone else,

Don't compare yourself to others, believe in yourself, and it'll be okay.

Now, after, we all eat lots of delicious food together

Let's try our best again starting tomorrow

With love

The fun and joy, the reasons for the tears you've been holding back,

And the aching wounds deep in your heart, don't think about them alone.

Let's talk and share, that's the recipe for happiness.

On shiny days, on rainy days, because I want to savor life together

Hey, even today, which passes in the blink of an eye just like always

Because we're all here together

Special Happy Day

Oh, what a wonderful day, yeah wanna delicious day!

Capture the escaped monster part-timer!?

A heart that was just beginning to open...

Hey! - What are you doing here?

Are you stalking me?

What are you going to do now?

What's this? - A spare key to the clinic.

I can't keep causing trouble for the clinic anymore.

You're running away?

He said that because he cares.

I'm heading out now. - So, can you give me a push?
