That's a betta.
-Betta? -Yeah, a fighting fish.
It looks peaceful at first glance,
but it will fight till the death if it's in the same tank as another fish.
Fight till the death...
Just like that person.
What should we do with it?
It will die if we leave it like this.
Don't say it'll die.
Sorry.
-How about you, Onda? -I can't.
Looking after the kids is a lot of work
and if I bring home a tropical fish, my wife will kill me.
Don't say she'll kill you!
-Sorry. -I'll take it.
Are you sure?
I'm in charge of training Danda.
I've always touted the fact that I was her trainer, but
I wasn't able to help her when it came down to it.
This is the least I can do...
Minamisanjo, please assist also.
-No, I can't. -Please start on that side.
Danda, didn't we come here to inspect the part-timers break time?
Yes.
But I can't neglect the unfair short skirt lengths of the female uniform.
But whether if this is a violation of male female equal opportunity or not
it's not within our jurisdiction, right?
But the logical thing to do is to simultaneously correct both.
Minamisanjo, you like the word, logical, right?
Please assist now. Thank you.
The next 4 please.
Um... but you know, I'm male
so it would be best if you performed these delicate measurements for all the women.
-Don't tell me you're turned on? -Huh?
It arouses you and brings out your lust
because it's namely the male instinct to be stimulated by something lascivious.
But you are obligated to check these female employee uniforms!
I am not turned on!
Then please assist me.
Pardon me.
I definitely do not agree!
It was decided during the divorce.
She said she won't restrict me from seeing my son twice a month when he has school activities. Don't you remember?
-Doteyama. -It's an athletic meet.
Fathers are best at this school event!
A parent-child relay! His 65 year old grandfather is running in my place...
They're not parent and child!
My ex-wife's father was formerly in rugby and now he participates on the silver team,
-and he's a Sports Grandpa. -Doteyama!
Calm down a bit.
-Ugh! -What is it this time?
-Isn't that Tanaka? -Eh?
Ah...
-Tanaka? -Whoa!
-Just dropping by? -Eh?
No, I wanted to check my schedule, so I stood here and looked at my notebook,
Then somehow I was at the end of the line... and I was shocked.
But you don't have your notebook out.
What is this line for?
I dunno. What's this line for?
It's for Karasawa Pastry "Moon Gateau Souffles."
-Ah, that's right. -Huh?
You don't know?
It looks like it's a really popular dessert.
I see.
You lined up to get a present for Komiya, right?
Komiya loves desserts.
What?
Let's go. The foundation of a Labor Standards Inspector is independent action.
-Eh... -Since you're training me, I have no persuasive power no matter what I say.
Danda?
Please come forward.
Yes, understood.
I will tell him that.
What did they say?
Well... Miss Konno's representative
said since it's okay to go to trial later, he doesn't want you to go to the athletic meet this time.
Trial?
We have returned.
-Welcome back. -Welcome back.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Oh? Is the Section Chief out?
He said he had some sort of emergency.
-Emergency. -Probably related to his ex-wife.
-Here, Minami. -Thank you.
-Here, Danda. -Thank you.
It seems the athletic meet issue hasn't been resolved.
You're well-informed, Masako!
My ears are still good even though I'm an old lady.
It's here. I've been waiting for these documents.
Danda?
-Yes! -Is something wrong?
No.
I'm back.
-Welcome back. -Welcome back.
-Where's the Section Chief? -He's out.
Oh.
Oh, Komiya.
-This is... -What is it?
I was just on my way back and...
I thought you'd like this.
Ah, desserts from Chez Kawai!
You can't buy these unless you wait in a crazy line, right?
No, it just so happened no one was there
and it seems I got lucky.
-That's a lie! -Don't interfere.
Yes.
Can I open it?
-Is Tanaka finally confessing? -Finally?
What are you saying? Tanaka said he won't give up on Komiya
and he smashed Chief Manabe's talks of pre-arranged marriage.
Ah, no wonder Chief Manabe's mood is different.
-Right, right. -All it takes is a casual gift to hook her.
-Then he'll confess, right? -For Tanaka
this is a tactic where he's mustering all his courage.
Wow! It's Karasawa Pastry's Moon Gateau Souffles!
I've always wanted to taste them!
Really? That's unexpected...
-Hey! Is Doteyama here!? -Ah... The Section Chief is out.
-Where? -He has some business...
Business? Is it okay for a section chief to neglect business at work!?
I think he'll be back for our regular meeting.
Who is in charge of this inspection report for Shibasaki Chemistry?
There's at least 5 places where there's misspellings and missing characters! Hey!
So!?
Oh, it was me. Yes.
Oh... So it's I'm-not-giving-up-my-dreams Tanaka, huh?
What?
It's nice to chase dreams, but
you should do your work as a public servant!
-I'm ashamed of this report full of misspellings! -I'm sorry.
We can still hear you if you talk in your normal voice.
What did you say?!
Yelling is either power or moral harassment.
What! Uh... argh!
Here you go!
Eat something sweet when you're irritated.
-Ah! -Oh, good!
Is it good? It's the talk on TV and magazines
it's Chez Kawai's Moon Gateau Souffle.
-Do you have more? -Yes!
-You can take them all if you want. -EH!
I can't take them all. It's yours, right?
I'm actually on a diet, so please take them!
Really? I'll take them then.
Ota! How about tea?
-Black tea is good. Darjeeling. -Coming.
I'm sorry, Tanaka. I really am on a diet.
Oh, it's okay.
But the Chief is a in a better mood,
-so that's great. -Right, right...
Nice tactic Komiya.
You saved Tanaka from a crisis with the sweets you received from Tanaka.
Oh, but if you feel bad about it,
-I'm really sorry. -No, it's okay.
Thank you very much.
Tanaka? Tanaka...
Those sweets are that famous, huh.
Don't you know? The pastry shop Karasawa who made these desserts
won a famous French pastry contest.
Look!
-Oh... -He's a genius but somehow
-he looks gloomy. -Yeah...
-Oh, excuse me. -Yes.
I came here for advice about work.
-Huh? It's him, right? -Yes, how can I assist you?
My company... my company
won't let me retire.
Your company won't let you retire?
And that's it for this week's reports.
I see...
So, Doteyama, where were you this morning?
-Eh? -You weren't around this morning.
Ah... Um... Uh...
I took some paid time off this morning for personal reasons...
If that's the case, tell everyone
you took time off for personal reasons!
Oh, I'm sorry. I'll be more careful from now on.
-Yes! -What is it, Danda?
-I have one more report. -Eh?
While the Section Chief was absent,
a person came for advice.
What?
Yes, a person who is employed by Chez Kawai's Western pastry shop
by the name of Karasawa
has asked for a resignation, but the president won't let him retire.
Won't let him retire?
So this Karasawa is telling his own company that he wants to retire?
-Yes. -It's rare these days for an employee to harass the manager to let them retire.
What will happen to the Moon Gateau Souffle if Karasawa quits?
That's why the president won't let him retire, right?
Yeah, it's because Karasawa is a popular passitier.
Maybe he was unsatisfied with the treatment?
Like, "I don't like getting paid so little!"
Yeah...
It's all because he's been known as a genius.
He's blessed with working in such an environment, what would he be disgruntled with.
The law guarantees employees to freely quit.
So I told him, "How about submitting an official letter of resignation instead of a verbal one?"
-This was the advice I gave him. -He probably didn't know.
-The difference between verbal and written. -Yes.
Which is why I also handed this to him.
When it comes to verbal resignation, both parties need to agree, cancel the contract
and a report is submitted by the employee, but when it comes to a written resignation...
It explains here an employee only needs to give notice to cancel his contract arbitrarily.
Isn't it better if he discussed retirement with his president before submitting notice?
It seems he sought advice from the president many times.
Salary isn't the issue.
He's forcing me to make a recipe for mass production,
my time to make pastries is reduced
and he's told me to accept TV and magazine interviews.
I only want to work in an environment where I can make pure and delicious pastries.
But he persistently tells me, "I won't let you quit."
It seems they couldn't discuss because in the end it became too emotional.
It should be fine.
If he changes it to written, then he'll be able to quit safely.
That's the end of my report.
Well, this means that our regular meeting is done without any issues.
-It's ending peacefully this week, right? -Yes.
Is it really, really ending peacefully?
Yes, this is Danda.
Eh? What is this about?
I don't really understand what you're saying.
Danda, you should shut your phone off during meetings.
My phone is on for 24 hour support because I'm an Inspector.
But this is a meeting that I as Chief am attending!
President Kawai from Chez Kawai just called...
Eh? Why did he call?
-About Karasawa? -Yes.
So?
He asked about Karasawa coming to me for advice
and he said, if Karasawa retires like this, Karasawa will
owe 50 million yen in restitution from a trial.
Trial?
What do you mean trial?!
Politician Yamada's wedding gift assortments are 5000 yen for 1000 people.
Also next month we're selling Moon Gateau Souffles exclusively at a local department store.
We're planning to target 3000 in sales.
There's lots of others like this.
If we cancel, the ingredients will become useless
and we'll also lose credibility!
You try calculating the small details!
-How dare you... -Also, you
signed while being employed under me.
You took an oath that you wouldn't compete against me.
You wouldn't have been able to make pastries if it wasn't for me fostering your skill!
Aren't you threatening me with a trial?!
It's not a threat.
Only you can make these pastries.
If you quit, I will seriously sue you.
I'm not a slave to the company.
Don't mess with me!
How dare you rush into the Labor Department!
Have you forgotten that I've raised you up till now!?
The Labor Department won't be involved if we have a trial.
I won't forgive you if you quit on your own!
You get it? Then do your job!
Karasawa.
-A customer is here to see you. -A customer?
She said she was an Inspector...
A trial, huh...
-Danda isn't the least bit worried about this going to court. -Yes, she's not worried.
A trial will only tire both parties out.
Isn't it because it became an emotional mess and they don't have control of the situation?
As soon as emotions get involved, that's when discussions break down and courts are involved.
-That's right. -But it's sad.
President Kawai of Chez Kawai and Karasawa the Patissier
combined their powers to make a small company into something big.
When a good relationship sours, the damage is enormous.
Yeah, that's right.
That's why I won't have a boyfriend.
-Because it will be sad to have a change of heart and dislike someone you love. -Eh?
-Eh?
Alright.
Sorry, I don't want to talk at the shop.
No, we're sorry for the abrupt meeting.
We heard from President Kawai that he's seeking restitution for damages.
We thought you would be disturbed by this.
I heard he spoke with a social insurance worker?
He received advice from Kurumizawa
and it seems he got him a lawyer.
Kurumizawa...
-Am I just being naive? -Eh?
50 million yen is unreasonable.
And I'm not even thinking about the trial.
I've given up on quitting.
Karasawa, are you okay with that?
There's nothing I can do about it.
-Why don't you talk to the president again in order to create a good work environment... -No matter how many times I tell him
he won't let me quit since I went to the Labor Department.
It's useless.
You won't be involved if there's a trial, right?
Yes, inspectors can't interfere with a civil trial.
Of course not.
Please forget about me.
I'll continue making cakes in a sub-par environment...
That's all I can do.
What a shame.
We should leave too.
Danda?
-Please let me go to one more place. -Eh?
Danda, have you been to the Aiba Social Insurance Offices before?
-Why? -Because...
it seems you've been here before.
Only to use the restroom.
-Restroom? -Yes, the restroom.
Did you get approval from Section Chief Doteyama?
Is it necessary to get Section Chief Doteyama's approval to use a restroom too?
-No, that's not what I mean... -Of course not.
Is that so? That's great.
You can relax now. Goodbye.
Were you just talking with President Kawai?
Yes, it seems he had a heated argument with Karasawa the patissier
and he's likely to seek restitution for damages
even though Karasawa is doing his job now.
-I see. -Also
Karasawa went to the West Tokyo office for advice
but Kawai even set the inspectors straight.
If there's a trial it'll be a civil case, so Inspectors are unrelated
which I think makes it a non-issue.
Do you think so?
Excuse me?
That's usually the case,
but I don't think she will cave in so easily.
Pardon me.
People from the Labor Standards Inspection Office are here.
She's here.
Thank you for waiting.
It's you two again...
How can someone not new still have a trainer following them...
Looks like the West Tokyo office is handling you with care, Danda.
It's the opposite. They think of me as depressing.
-Please. -Thank you.
-Is that so? -No comment.
This is wonderful.
If your superior that you were depressing,
you wouldn't be working on such a big job.
Kurumizawa.
Isn't it overkill to introduce a lawyer to demand restitution for damages?
It's a natural right for an employee to retire.
What are you talking about? A natural right?
Are you talking about an employee who abruptly quits without considering the trouble it causes the company?
You know what I'm referring to.
Civil law passage 627 states if proper notice is given in advance
an employee can quit a company legally.
This is a rule in accordance with an established process.
Danda, money and time fosters talent no matter the industry.
So if he quits because he's coming of age, he will also destroy his company.
Also the company won't be able to foster new talent.
This is a significant social loss.
If people only cared about their own selfishness
don't you think Japan's economy will continue to be in a recession?
I'm sorry, but I think it's an individual's legal right to express selfishness,
and Japan's current gloomy environment that is spreading the disease is the cause.
Can you stop the trial and not ignore an employee's rights?
It's not our decision to demand restitution for damages, it's up to the company.
Excuse me.
Yes?
It's too early to be relieved.
Why? Karasawa gave up on quitting
and the Inspectors can't interfere this time.
We don't need to be concerned about interacting with the Inspectors anymore.
Right. I'll trust you and I'll keep a close eye on things.
Ah, Danda. It's impossible to prevent a lawsuit from occurring based on current laws in Japan.
Closing time is exactly at 5:15PM.
-I'm going straight home today. -Eh?
Good work.
I knew you'd do this.
You would never go straight home.
That's the least that I've learned.
I was purely dropping by. I only wanted to eat some popular desserts.
Are you planning on seeing Karasawa to chat?
I don't think anything will change no matter how much you talk to him.
There's still someone we haven't talked to firsthand.
It will be soon. We're baking more soon.
I apologize. Sorry.
Hey, hey! What are you doing?!
Hey, what's up?!
I won't give these shoddy gateau souffles to customers.
What?
What? These are good! They're OK!
It doesn't melt in your mouth because the whipping time is reduced.
Amateurs won't know. Hurry and make more.
It's your job to offer desserts to all these customers not just you!
Hey!
It's my job to offer the best desserts!
Not to mass produce junk!
It's useless to talk to you unless it's only about making money.
It's almost closing time and people are still lining up.
If you'll excuse me!
Since our ovens are acting up,
we will finish selling Moon Gateau Souffles to those customers only in the store.
What!
What? I waited 2 hours.
I'm sorry. Here.
I took a day off and came from Tochinoki, so sell me at least one.
There's still other baked goods and cakes for sale.
Hey, hey, wait! Everyone was counting on you and lined up.
I'm sorry. Really sorry! Here.
Here you go. Please come back.
Here. Please take this home.
Thanks for coming.
-Here's a snack for your time. -I'm okay.
We're Labor Standards Inspectors.
Labor Standards Inspectors?
Yes, can you talk with us?
I'd be thought of as a bad manager if I didn't allow someone to quit.
A bad manager?
At least when it comes to Karasawa.
Did you discuss it with him?
He changed after becoming famous.
He thinks of himself as an artist or something.
He was an obedient kid back then.
When he was a high school student
he'd come to my shop everyday
and then he finally ask, "How did you make this?" He was a strange kid.
He was an amateur who worked part-time, became full-time
and when he said he wanted to train in France, I gladly let him go.
But once...
he got popular, he acted like he had all the power.
It's arrogant.
I understand your feelings as well.
But quitting shouldn't mean you should sue for restitution of damages.
If I don't try suing he won't get it!
If he has the freedom to quit, I have the freedom to sue!
I'll keep suing until he cries and apologizes!
I still have work to do, so excuse me.
I'll keep suing until he cries and apologizes!
Mom?
Eh? Yes.
What's wrong? You don't look good.
Hm...
Actually, I'm really disappointed.
What?
Moon Gateau Souffle.
Since people are on TV are saying it's really popular now,
I went to buy two so I could eat it with you.
But since you didn't come home,
I couldn't resist and took a bite.
Oh... You didn't do a bad thing.
I've done a lot of overtime, so it's my fault.
-It's not good. -Eh?
When I had them at a seminar half a year ago,
they were so delicious that my mouth dropped.
But it's not like that now.
That gentle and springy texture...
and fluffy feeling is lacking.
Was it that delicious back then?
Well, if I was a dessert inventor,
it would be my dream to somehow get this recipe, monopolize it and make large profits from it.
Hello.
-Sorry for calling late. It's Minamisanjo. -Yes.
I'm actually close by. Let's talk for a bit?
Eh?
How do you know my address?
I heard you lived at the most unpopular lodging for government workers.
It's not that bad.
It's a little old, a little small, and a little far from the station.
-Oh, really. -You wanted to talk?
Well.
I thought this before,
"Why does Danda try her best?"
What?
Why do you try this hard?
I'm not doing my best.
I'm only doing my job.
Are you here to ask me these kind of things?
According to my mom,
this was more delicious half a year ago.
-Hm? -Karasawa
wasn't only saying selfish things.
The flavor has declined.
The current dessert isn't as delicious as it was half a year ago.
It's our job to protect the rights of the working people.
-That's what you said, right? -Yes.
Please try this.
Thanks.
Hm...
-Something is different. -Yes.
But there's a reason why it's different.
Maybe only Karasawa can make this.
Yes.
"Over the mountains, far to travel,
people say, Happiness dwells.”
Danda, what are you doing here late at night?
I'm sorry.
I told you already, I can't pay 50 million yen
and I'm okay being a dessert-making robot here.
Also this has nothing to do with Labor Standards...
If you give up on yourself,
there's nothing a Labor Standards Inspector can do.
But if you don't give up and exercise your rights
a Labor Standards Inspector will work as your ally.
I do not want to give up.
How do I confess to a female who doesn't need a boyfriend?
Someone, please give me advice!
There! Alright.
Will someone really answer at this time though?
Tanaka, it's okay if no one is browsing this morning.
-Ah! -You idiots!
It's the start of work, so don't access suspicious sites like this on your work computer!
When you post things on the internet, your IP
gets exposed and people will know you're posting from work!
Also your browsing history is being monitored by the system too.
I'm sorry Section Chief, but this was really important for Tanaka...
I really don't know what to do...
Use this... Use it! Damn you!
Saint George... Wow! This is...
Are you sure?
It's useless for me to have these.
So you use it! Damn it.
But this is for a hotel stay... A pair... pair of tickets for a hotel stay...
-You get to eat too! -A meal.
Also go for the ambiance there, boom!
-Boom! -Tanaka, boom!
Good morning.
She's here.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
Ah... Morning Komiya.
Good morning.
-I know this is sudden, but... -Yes?
I'm wondering if you'd go with me to this kind of place?
So?
-Tanaka. -Yes.
What kind of joke is this?
Eh?
Hotel stay tickets!
What is going on?! Section Chief...
I'm going to... the restroom!
Ah... Danda?
What are you doing... Geez!
-What is this? -Danda, what is that?
Are you planning to become a pastry chef?
It's a trial counter-plan. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and unfairness for unfairness.
-Thanks -Huh?
Danda, please explain it to us so we can understand.
-Hey, Minami. Explain. -It's Minamisanjo.
Well, we're...
thinking of patenting it.
-Patent? -Eh?
We're going to patent the Moon Gateau Souffle and antagonize Chez Kawai.
We will use Karasawa's only skill as a weapon.
Patent? Listen, Danda Rin, you...
It's an Inspectors job is to perfectly and flawlessly remove the scope of doubt.
What happened to, "discussing it peacefully"?
This would've ended fine if you followed this advice.
We couldn't discuss it amicably because emotions became worse.
I was going to talk to him normally, but it was just swearing.
You advocate for advocacy and compromise for compromises
and the aim is a win-win situation where both parties come to an agreement.
For that reason, I first
think the weapon to level the battlefield against being sued in a court of law is in here.
-That's about patents? -Yes.
Incidentally, this is Minamisanjo's idea.
That's great, Minamisanjo!
-It was more my mother's idea. -Eh...
You're training her, but why did you think of something outside our jurisdiction.
Because...
Our job as Inspectors is to protect the rights of the working people.
Do what you want, I'm not helping.
Understood, I'll do what I want.
Tanaka? Tanaka?
Make Karasawa...
submit his written resignation again by certified mail.
Then request resignation credentials from the company.
It's a violation of the Labor Standards Act passage 22 if credentials aren't received.
Also check his unpaid overtime.
It's just a matter of an Inspector taking action.
Also you know... do this patent stuff during your private time!
Office time is office time! You're a public servant, you know!
Uh... Tanaka! Why are you dozing off, damn you!
Hey, work! Work!
Win-win.
Can I read this after work?
Yes.
Kurumizawa! What should I do!?
What happened, President Kawai?
Karasawa applied for a "Moon Gateau Souffle" patent!
Patent?
Once he applies, anyone without a license won't be able to sell it!
Who suggested this to him...
What do I do now?!
I won't be able to make a living without the Moon Gateau Souffle!
I've also received a written resignation by certified mail from him!
I also received demands to submit numerous resignation certificates!
They're saying it's a violation of the Labor Standards Act if I don't submit these certificates to them!
The Labor Office is still interfering?
Hey... what should I do to fix this, Kurumizawa!?
President Kawai, can you let me take over this case personally?
President Aiba...
I'd be extremely happy if you were in charge of this personally.
Yes...
Chief.
A guest is here to see you.
Guest?
I don't have any appointments today though.
Hello.
Mrs. Aiba!
Please don't be so formal, Chief Manabe.
We used to be drinking buddies way back.
Yeah... You can leave now.
I came to visit on a personal note and not as a Social Insurance worker.
Hey... I said you can leave now.
Excuse me.
What is it?
This is sudden, but your Inspectors here
have quite a unique style of working.
What?
They're deviating from Inspector procedures,
interfering with a civil trial,
and it seems they are also personally giving advice to an employee to apply for a patent.
M-My employees here are doing this!?
Even a great Chief like you isn't keeping tabs on his own employees?
Oh no, no... that's not it.
-It's just that I don't know the latest news since our regular meeting isn't till Wednesday... -Call her for me.
-What? -Get Danda Rin.
Pardon me.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
We only called for Danda, but we get all three of you.
Because I'm Danda's superior.
And I'm Danda's trainer.
Sit Danda.
-Yes, sir. -You too.
I'm sorry. I know you are all busy.
Why are you here with Chief Manabe?
I came to talk about work, but we ended up talking about the past.
We're old acquaintances for roughly 20 years.
So it's very nostalgic having a personal meeting like this.
It's been roughly 5 years?
No, about 6 years, Chief Manabe.
You weren't even a Chief back then.
Oh yeah, that's right.
So...?
Why did you call on us?
I thought I'd report to you.
President Kawai is agreeing to let Karasawa quit from Chez Kawai.
Karasawa is authorizing Chez Kawai to manufacture and sell the Moon Gateau Souffle.
Also he's settled on being responsible for training the Chez Kawai assistant patissiers.
I see.
That means Chez Kawai will still have a monopoly for this popular dessert,
and Karasawa will be able to make desserts at his own pace, too.
In other words, a win-win situation.
But wasn't this your goal to begin with?
Am I wrong, Danda?
I guess.
I only want to protect the rights of employees.
Actually, me too...
I thought this wasn't a good ending even though Karasawa put the company in a bind from the damages.
No matter the talent a person has, if you don't have the motivation to work,
that's just a useless employee then.
Thanks to you, we were able to settle this problem the best way.
Thank you.
See you later, Chief Manabe.
Take your time until next time.
Yes, you too.
-Here. -Excuse me.
Thank you.
Uh...
Why does it feel like we lost even though it went this way?
That's right. That's it.
That Aiba has a strange power that somehow makes you nervous.
Even back then.
-Well... -Isn't this a good thing?
It's a win-win situation.
That's right. A win-win situation.
Win-win sounds peaceful and beautiful.
But it feels like a draw.
We both lost a little bit.
That's the sense of being an adult.
Sense of being an adult...
Sorry, I have to leave because I have a planned inspection.
I have to follow her because I'm training her.
Losing a little bit is win-win...?
Recently I've been overly emotional and for that I'm sorry.
I'll hand over the athletic meet to you and your father.
Please use the camera.
Win-win.
I'm sorry that you came all this way.
I was excited to be in a convertible for the first time.
Ask me any time for a ride, Midori.
Kajikawa, you're always joking.
Today was really a great day.
Good night.
A crazy line today, too.
Excuse me!
There's still enough left for 20 people from 12:30.
For those that can't buy this time, please come back at 3PM.
Thank you as always!
They just ran out!
3PM...
Ah.
-Tanaka. -Whaaa! You scared me...
You're lining up today, too?
No, I thought I'd get a present for Chief Manabe.
Masako advised me to.
Are you trying to make peace with the Chief?
Don't say that...
I'm not, which is why I'm lining up.
Wow! Such a line.
-Komiya! -I had an inspection closeby, so
I thought I'd come see Chez Kawai during lunch.
This looks fun.
Can I line up with you, too?
-Eh? -Eh?
Then I think I'll line up today, too.
-Purely as a customer. -Eh?
-Eh?
Danda, no. Let's go.
-Why? -Eh? Hm...
Hm, we have to check if things have improved for those female employees with the skirts.
You're right.
Please buy enough for my mother since I want to take it home to her.
Roger!
Hm...
I'm sorry about the other day.
It was a ticket just for dinner, right?
Eh?
Section Chief Doteyama explained it to me after.
Section Chief...
But you know Tanaka, I dislike high class restaurants like that.
It's too uptight.
Ah, I see...
That's right. I actually feel that way too.
But please don't worry about it.
If it's ramen, I'll go.
Eh?
Ramen.
Okay.
Thank you.
It's always delicious!
Thank you!
Thank you.
So, which one is more like Danda?
What do you mean?
Win-win or a draw?
Karasawa and President Kawai decided it.
If both were able to agree amicably then it's win-win.
Whoa! Please look at that.
That's a safety and health violation! Let's go.
Excuse me!
I'm a Labor Inspector. Who is in charge here?
Please suspend work right now!
Seriously?
