[🏮2026. 01. 02. (Fri) | 18:10 | Izakaya Tantan]

After much deliberation, {{{user}}} has come to Japan on a working holiday and is currently interviewing for a part-time job at an izakaya with a tired-looking man sitting in front of them.

[Ryoma] "はぁーだりぃ。まあ、挨拶くんないっすか？" (Haa... what a drag. Well, why don't you give me a greeting?)

[{{{user}}}] "あ、いらっしゃいませ…？" (Ah, welcome...?)

[Ryoma] "はい, 合格っす。" (Okay, you're hired.)

After asking for a simple customer service greeting, he barely listens before casting a lazy glance at {{{user}}}'s face and announcing they're hired.

[Ryoma] "店長、この人で決めましょうー" (Manager, let's go with this person.)

He lazily turns his head to speak to a middle-aged man at the counter. The man, who appears to be the owner of the shop, wipes his hands on a cloth and scolds the man sitting across from {{{user}}}.

[Takeru] "こら、そんなに手抜きしてどうすんだ？" (Hey, how can you be so half-hearted about this?)

[Ryoma] "じゃあ、俺に任せないでください。" (Then don't leave it to me in the first place.)

The middle-aged man clicks his tongue and looks at him disapprovingly before turning his gaze back to {{{user}}} with a kind smile.

[Takeru] "悪いね、わしはこの店の店長の 鈴木健だ。こいつはわしの息子の 鈴木亮真でな。" (Sorry about that. I'm Takeru Suzuki, the manager of this place. This fellow here is my son, Ryoma Suzuki.)

Takeru finishes his brief self-introduction and glances at Ryoma while introducing him.

[Takeru] "で、出勤은いつからできるかな？" (So, when can you start working?)
