くだらないルールからはみ出せずに泣いていた
I've been in tears over the senseless rules I can't come to accept,

ぼやけすぎた未来地図
And the map of my future is too muddled to read.

すり減ったココロを埋めたくて集めた
I've been trying to mend my damaged heart,

要らないモノばかり
but now it's filled with things I don't even need.

Bye bye, my precious days...

She's annoying.
She's small, but so loud.
Who does she think she is? Telling me what not to say...
Screw you. Die.
Oh no...
What are you mumbling on about?
Nothing...
The Wave Room's customer said he doesn't need 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...
What do you mean?
I have to prepare myself.
Good morning.
Ah, good morning.
Revenge served as 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.
She... betrayed us!
I didn't make breakfast today because I thought she would...
This is unforgivable.
Touru-san is going to get 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.
Wave Room
Let's see...
Oh! Um...
Book: 100 Bondage Techniques
Take this and pass it through here...
Ah damn it...!
I couldn't even tie her up tortoise bondage style properly!
Hmm-
Here...first...
I-I see...
Thanks.
I'm being taught bondage by the girl I'm tying up...
Ah... hey wait-
Don't worry.
I won't scream or anything.
Oh, is that so...
That aside, why did you have to tie me up and gag me?
You read that novel, right?
"Hot Spring Waitress' Foamy Training"?
That part about me being a famous writer is actually a lie.
I kinda figured that was the case.
I can't write anything.
No matter how I try, I just can't.
Nothing moves me.
I thought if I tried living my ideal Zen lifestyle,
something would come to me...
...and with that I'd win an award, turning everything around.
And you ended up going with "foamy"...
I tried writing an erotic novel this time in order to pay for the inn fees.
Erotic, huh?
But I couldn't even write that properly.
I have no talent.
I'm done for.
Come on. Don't bring yourself down.
Whether a person has talent or not is not something they can judge themselves.
In that case... can I ask a favour of you?
Eh?
Eh...?
She's not in the hall either.
Mr. Beans, how is it on 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 here, at 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 mistress...
Oh yes, Nako.
Y-Yes?
There's no need to hold back.
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 are you able to write when it's about me?
T-That's because I've been watching you.
No! I haven't been peeping while you're in the bath or anything!
Really, I mean it! Uh, I swear!
So I guess there's no hope.
It's boring, isn't it?
It's not a matter of it being interesting or not... I haven't...
I-I want to shine!
Don't worry.
If you let us polish 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 for 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 really tired of this!
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.
What the hell?!
I let him off with all that sexual harassment because I thought he was famous!
He was always complaining about our food too!
Mistress, 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.
Do you not believe what I've just told you?
That's not what I mean.
However, we mustn't let our doubt of the customer go beyond what's been said.
We shouldn't doubt him?
But we saw it, you know.
Mr. Beans was about to get tied up tortoise bondage style.
Anyway, this particular case is-
That's one of our cars.
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? Mistress?
Definitely. You should try making it.
No one seems very tensed over this...
You got that right.
Here we go...
Eh?
Um...
O-Ow...
Never mind. It's nothing.
Here he comes!
I wonder where he went.
Are you OK?
Of course...
Look over ther-
He's gone.
Damn it.
Up there!
Hey! That's dangerous!
Stay away!
Stay away from me!
All this time...
...I've been acting high and mighty...
...and lying to you all.
But the mistress... she 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 mistress only said that because it's part of her job.
There's no way that the mistress could be so kind.
Wait, wait, wait... you...
You ruined the mood I was working up...
I'm truly sorry, my dear customer, but she is right.
Mistress!
Even upon knowing the customer's situation,
it is still our job not to doubt them.
Besides, if you were to 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 throw away the desire to do so,
there will always be a chance.
You will still be a customer of ours.
That was a bit too good.
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, we gotta 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".
W-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 okay, Nako?
Min-chi.
I'll go grab a towel.
Nako-san.
I couldn't even achieve satisfaction through killing 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 all 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 the source of those feelings myself.
But, you taught me... that I wanted to shine.
Ohana-san...
I don't know much about novels, but...
...I think it's important for a writer to have keen senses.
You taught me something I didn't know myself.
You're really... 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.
It's not ready yet, Young Master.
Ah, you're no fun!
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 as useless as swimming.
No, that's not true at all.
I wasn't able to teach you much about being a waitress,
but I'm a bit more confident about swimming, so...
Hey! It's ready!
Let's go!
Okay.
It 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, if we don't have him bear at least that much...
Hm? Denroku, what's the matter?
You knew, didn't you?
Whatever do you mean?
That Ohana-san would fix it somehow.
There's a saying that, "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 come see you off.
Kou-chan
Do your best!!
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...
Do my best...
Yeah, I'll do my best...
...so that I can shine here.
