Good work today, Fushihara!
Yeah, you too.
I'm headed out now, but I wanted to ask...
Are you feeling any better?
Oh, I'm fine, I'm fine!
I was just a little sluggish this morning is all.
Oh, okay.
Yeah. Thanks for asking.
See ya tomorrow!
Oh... Guess I'm not feeling so good after all.
Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost
Episode 2
Leave... Leave... Leave...
You must leave this place...
I'm sorry...
Huh?
Oh, crap!
What time is it?! How long have I been asleep?!
I was exhausted,
so I thought I'd just lie down for ten minutes...
Leave...
Today, of all days, you must leave...
A cassette player?
How'd that get here?
Leave! You must leave at once!
Aw, it's that voice again.
Chu mush leabe... Huh?
You... must.... leave... You must leave!
Got it!
You must leave!
Too cute!
Wait, what am I doing?!
I need to hurry up and finish work!
Pwetty pwease... You hafta leave...
On second thought, five more minutes can't hurt, right?
Oh, good evening. Please leave!
How cute!
Cute indeed.
Okay, I really should get back to work.
Your face is all red!
Yeah, I think I might have a little fever. That's all.
You're going to work even though you have a fever?!
Oh, it's okay! I'll be fine!
It's not okay! You hafta go home!
Huh?! What's gotten into you?!
You're gonna work yourself to death!
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Leave! I'm begging you!
It's not okay, okay?!
But I can't just...
No! No!
Nooo!
Oh man...
She can be angry at me forever if she wants.
But I can't leave until I finish my work, you know?
There's really no way?
You really can't leave unless you finish?
Well, I feel like I can get it done when you're around.
Okay... In that case...
Huh?
If I went home with you, would you leave?
Is that a no?
Are you mad?
Let's go. Let's go right now.
Huh?!
We're leaving this dump!
Why?! Why all of a sudden?!
I'm calling a taxi this instant.
Why?!
And so, she took her work and the little ghost home with her.
This is my place.
Wow!
Draft Beer
Energy Drink
It's Miss Shachiku's place!
Miss Shachiku?!
Woo-hoo!
So messy!
And small!
That's the first time anyone's called me Miss Corporate Slave...
So this is where you leave to every day, huh?
Well, she's cute, so she gets a pass!
Yup!
All right.
I'm gonna get back to work.
So you can make yourself at home, okay?
Hmph!
Huh?
It's not okay!
Sick people need to rest!
I'd love to, but I have work to do.
I said no!
Here!
Lie down and go beddy-bye-bye!
Yes, ma'am!
Hush, li'l Shachiku,
don't say a word...
This little ghost is gonna... buy you...
Huh?
a mockingbird...
Crap!
I can't fall asleep like this! She's too cute!
Too cute indeed.
Energy Drink
So you're really gonna work?
Yeah. I can't seem to fall asleep anyway.
Oh!
Grab this... and this, and this.
Hmm? What are you up to?
And this.
I can't help you with your work, so I thought I'd tidy up.
This way you can sleep in a clean room.
Here too.
And here.
Sweepy-sweep.
Fold and done.
Scrubby-scrub.
Yup, I could watch this forever.
I could stay up at least four more days.
Oh!
Huh?
I've got you tied down!
You can't do your work with me holding you like this, right?
Yup, that's it. I'm pulling an all-nighter!
Why?!
I can't not now.
I've got at least five more days in me!
Why?! This was supposed to stop you!
Please rest! It's beddy-bye time!
Thus relieved of her cold, she finished her work.
Heave-ho, heave-ho.
Heave-ho!
Okay, all clean!
Yup, a job well done!
I wonder what else I can do to help...
Oh, that's right!
Squishy-squish...
It doesn't always happen, but...
Sometimes when the sun goes down and it gets dark out,
I get a little lonely.
And when I do,
I can't help thinking about back then...
Mommy!
Oh?
Mommy! Looky, looky! I made this for you!
My goodness, thank you!
I wonder what it is. May I open it?
Yeah!
Aw, what fine rice balls!
You made these just for me?
Mommy, is work really busy?
Are you feeling all right?
Don't worry, darling.
Now I have the strength to give it my all.
But Mommy!
You're such a sweet girl.
I'll be just fine.
Mommy...
There, there. Sweet girl.
I love you, Mommy!
And jump—
Yup, all better!
Upsy-daisy!
Uh... Oh, I'm sorry!
I'll have it done tomorrow... by the end of the day...
This lady isn't Mommy.
But she smells so similar.
And she looks at me with such kind eyes.
She's different from Mommy, but...
Kind people deserve kindness too.
Go home early tomorrow, okay?
Crap! I fell asleep for real!
What time is it?!
Huh? Oh...
Pwease leave... Pwetty pwease...
Now she really has me tied down, huh?
Too cute!
My apartment... Did she clean it all by herself?
Oh?
You worked so hard last night!
You worked so hard last night! Get well soon, okay? Please try and get home early today!
Get well soon, okay?
Please try and get home early today!
All right!
Today, I'm gonna be the best corporate slave there ever was!
Thanks for always looking out for me! The rice balls were super yummy!
I'm gonna give it my all today too!
Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost
Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost.
Good work today...
I'm beat... Bed, here I come.
Here at the office, there's a rumor that a ghost comes out late at night.
Oh? Still hard at work, Shino?
Oh, Senpai!
Rare to see you here so late.
Did something come up?
Actually, yeah.
One of our clients made a request out of the blue, so...
Ah, that explains it.
I'll finish up soon, so why don't I help?
O-Oh, no! I couldn't ask you to do that!
I insist.
Peekaboo?
No, really! It'd be too much trouble!
Stare...
I was just about to wrap up—
Someone other than Miss Shachiku is here,
so I can't help her finish her work.
Listen, I can't just leave so much work to someone who's still new here.
No, I'll be fine! I can do it!
So you say, but it's really a lot...
It's just... you're always putting in so much effort, Senpai.
You help everyone with their work too.
Someday, I'd like to...
help you out with yours.
For a change, you know?
Oh?
All right.
Then hit me up if you get stuck, okay?
I'll come right over!
I will! Thank you so much!
Heave-ho, heave-ho.
Huh? What was that?
Where did that cup come from...?
Achoo!
Who put this blanket over my shoulders?!
You got this! Leave soon!
Now my shoulders feel kind of nice for some reason!
Could it be... Is this...
S-Senpai!
I'm gonna go to the bathroom and cool my head!
Oh? Okay!
I lost it for a second there, but...
There's just no way!
It's just a rumor.
All right. Let's get back to it.
Good luck with your work! Don't overwork yourself, okay?
"Good luck with your work."
"Don't overwork yourself, okay?"
Shenpai!
What...? What's wrong?
You're too nice, Senpai!
I haven't done anything, though...
You're the absolute best!
You got this, Miss Coworker!
Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost
Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost!
On the eastern edge of Eurasia lies the archipelago known as Japan.
Today, we will be taking a look at an office
where some of Japan's many corporate slaves gather.
They rise early...
and work late into the night.
The office is full of people whose eyes are often glazed over,
moving aimlessly left to right.
I wanna go home...
It never ends...
Yelling is frequently heard echoing through the place.
Yell! Shout! Bark! Bluster!
Just one of the many charms of being a corporate slave.
And there's nary an hour the lights go off at the office.
Because day in and day out...
there is always someone working overtime within.
What's this?
Someone else has entered the room!
Leave!
Well! Good evening to you too.
It's a ghost.
I've come to help you leave today too!
Thanks. I'm counting on you, okay?
It's shoulder patty-pat time, Miss Shachiku!
Many a tale about ghosts has been passed down through the ages in Japan.

They were once said to appear at this hour,
but many young ghosts aren't as punctual now.
And it would seem that's become quite the issue as of late.
Pat, pat, pat!
Does that hurt at all, Miss Shachiku?
No, it feels amazing... Please continue...
And just as the night begins to wane,
Shutting down...
Miss Shachiku finally decides to turn in for the day.
'Bout time I headed home!
As for the little ghost...
Leave...
She's sound asleep.
And there you have it. That soundly sleeping face
will give this corporate slave the strength to carry on another day.
All right, time to head home.
I'm gonna give it my all tomorrow too!
Tomorrow, maybe a little baby ghost will come to your aid
and help you in your struggles as well.
