“MANTAN Everyday" - EPILOGUE: Part-Timer Trial Tests"



Taichi: The web commercials with the script Tsuzuru-kun wrote for are such a huge hit! It’s all the talk on social media too!!
Muku: I saw them too! All of them had such brilliant storytelling!
Kazunari: It’s the buzz in Inste too! And look at the replay count of it on the video sites! It’s so insane!! Tsuzuroon, you did it again!
Tsuzuru: (I was full of doubt and worry at first, but I’m glad it all came out with good results. Moreover, it was a good experience to go through.)
(“Even after all the downsides, it all comes together in the end”, huh…)
Kazunari: We should totally celebrate with everyone tonight!!
Omi: Sounds good to me. How about you, Tsuzuru?
Tsuzuru: Ah, thanks for the thought; it’s nice of you guys to consider but… Well, I’ve got a bit of a schedule today…

—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—

Female Customer: Hmm.. Where could it be? I thought they’d be on these shelves…
Juza: Are you lookin’ for somethin'?
Female Customer: Eh? S-Sorry, are you perhaps a clerk here….?
Tsuzuru: Yes. The store is a bit understaffed, so we’re only helping out for a short while as stocking personnel.
Female Customer: Is that so? I’m looking for some Worcestershire sauce, but I can’t seem to find them.


Juza: Worcestershire sauce, right? Seasonings are over on this shelf. Let me guide you.
Female Customer: Thanks so much for the help!

—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—

Tsuzuru: (Juza went over there to help out the customer just now, didn’t he? Maybe I should check on him a lil bit—)
Juza: What do you need next?
Female Customer: Hmm, next is 10 kilos of rice…
Juza: This way. Ah, let me carry it for you.
Tsuzuru: (Is he just a full-on shopping assistant now…?!)
Juza: This is all of them right? Thanks for shopping.
Tsuzuru: Juza, guiding a customer is important ‘n all, but you don’t need to go that far….!!

—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—


Tsuzuru: Good afternoon! We’re handing out free tissue~
Juza: Please take one. Thanks very much.
Tsuzuru: Please have one… Thank you very much!
Normally they’d have you passing out flyers too, so you’ll get used to that with this too. I think we’re doing pretty well though.
Juza: ‘Kay.
Man: …….
(RUSTLE)
Tsuzuru: (....! That guy just took the tissue and tossed it to the side right after——)
(GRAB)
Juza: …..Oi.
Man: !?!
Juza: Don’t litter on the street. If you’re just gonna toss it like that, you may as well not have grabbed it in the first place.
Man: E-EEEEK! I’M SO VERY SORRY!!
(RUNNING FOOTSTEPS)
Tsuzuru: (He… threw away the tissue properly and then just ran away…..)
Juza: ……Hmph.
Tsuzuru: (J-Juza is in the right! Juza is in the right, but…!!! Now people are on their edge!!!)

—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—

Drunk Customer: Just listen to this, mister~~~ (hic)...! So my boss did it again in the workplace today……
Juza: Must’ve been a real hassle.
Drunk Customer: And then y’know~! He kept forcing more work onto me~!! I just can't take it anymooooore!! Doncha think so toooo!?
Juza: Uhm, I don’t really get it…. But I suppose so…?
Drunk Customer: And just the other daaaay…. Mister, ya listenin’??!!
Juza: I’m listening to every word.
Tsuzuru: ……

—　—　— FLASHBACK —　—　—　—
Tsuzuru: Short-term part-time work?
Juza: Yeah. After listening to your story, I thought it’d be a good idea to try a bunch of jobs first and take in some experience before anything else.
Tsuzuru: I see. So by making it short-term, you’ll get a lil taste of each part-time work you jump between, huh…
I’d say why not? And since you’re doing it, I might join you and try the same.
Juza: You sure? I would feel more reassured if you did.
Tsuzuru: Since you followed along when I was going around doing interviewers, I figured it’d be a similar thing, but with me following you this time.
—　—　— FLASHBACK END —　—　—　—

Juza: After getting to try a bunch of part-time jobs for a whole day, it all somehow ended without any problems.
Tsuzuru: Yeah, you’re right. Good work today.
Juza: So uhm….. From your perspective, Tsuzuru-san, which do you think suits me the most?
Tsuzuru: Hrmm…………
(I do think he did each job as properly as he should, and he did them with every ounce of effort he’s got, but…….)
….Err… Why not try out and experience even more jobs after this, yeah?
