Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost
Episode 5
Oooh...
Aaah...
Miss Shachiku, what's that?
Hmm?
Oh, that's a koi fish streamer.
Today's Children's Day, after all.
It's supposed to bring kids good health or something like that.
Really?
It's amazing. It's so big and cool.
Whoa.
You okay over there, Fushihara?
You seem a little more worked up than usual...
Take that!
Because it's May 5th! Children's Day!
Koi fish streamers!
You're not making any sense!
Miss Shachiku... will leave work early.
She'll leave work late.
She'll leave work early.
She'll leave work late.
She'll leave work early.
She'll leave work...
She'll leave work late!
S-So she's really not gonna leave soon?!
What are you up to?
Oh, is that a daisy? How cute.
What were you wishing for?
Well, actually...
Stare...
Miss Shachiku will leave work early.
She'll leave work late.
Our mistress will leave work early.
She'll leave work late.
She'll leave work early.
She'll leave work late.
She'll leave work early. She'll leave work late.
She'll leave early.
She'll leave ...
So she'll be late after all!
Wh-Wh-What do we do, Myako?!
D-Don't panic! I'm sure we can make it work!
Y-You're right! We've got this!
There were still plenty of daisies outside. Let's go pick some more!
Yeah!
M-M-Miss Shachiku... w-will leave work early...
Our m-mistress will leave work... She'll leave...
She'll leave... late!
Miss Shachiku...
Mistress...
She might never come home...
No! Please come home, Miss Shachiku!
We miss you, Mistress! Please come home soon!
Thank goodness!
I'm so glad I was able to leave early today.
Huh? Is that them?
I'm home!
Did something happen?
I thought I heard you two crying just now.
She actually left early!
What's with all the flower petals?!
I knew it! I knew she'd come home!
They lied! The daisies lied to us!
Huh?
Hold on a minute.
Why are there petals all over the floor?
We'll clean them up right away!
What she said!
Do you know what she's doing?
I haven't a clue, but...
Whatever it is, it smells amazing!
All done!
Huh?
Wow!
Looky, looky! It's a feast!
And there's even a little koi fish streamer too!
We don't have space to put one up in the apartment, you know?
I really tried my best, so I hope you like it!
Okay, Miss Shachiku, open wide!
No, this is all for you.
We're extra grateful for you today, Miss Shachiku,
so you should get the first bite.
I see. Thank you.
In that case...
Your cooking tastes delicious, Mistress!
Why did you do that, Myako?!
Come on!
How cute.
Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost
Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost.
Wow!
Did you really make all of this, Myako?
Yes, Mistress.
I took the liberty of using what was left in the fridge.
It's delicious!
I'm so glad you like it!
Delishush!
It's so great having someone at home who can cook.
I'm so grateful I get to eat such fresh, homemade meals.
I'll see you two later!
Have a good day, Mistress!
Leave as soon as you can!
Now, Myako!
What is it?
Teach me right now!
Teach you what?
I wanna do it too!
What are you talking about?
I wanna make Miss Shachiku a fresh, homemade packed lunch!
Hmph!
You want to make a packed lunch for our mistress?
Why don't we just make her one together?
You always make her a packed lunch,
so it's my turn to make her one!
Okay then, but...
Is there even anything you can make?
Rice balls!
Are rice balls no good?
You don't think she'll be happy?
No, I wouldn't say that!
They're just a bit plain.
Why do you want to cook all of a sudden, anyway?
It's just... You're so talented, Myako.
I wish I could help her leave work early the way you do.
That's why, you know?! That's why!
All right, all right! I'll teach you how to cook, okay?
Really?
I'll help you make her the best packed lunch there ever was!
Yeah!
That's it.
You've got to do it gently so you don't get any shell in the mixture.
Gently...
Mixy, mixy!
Squishy-squish.
On second thought, maybe it's too soon to put you on the stove.
Nuh-uh! I got this!
Miss Shachiku's doing her best at work!
So I need to do my best too!
You're right.
Let's do our best together then, shall we?
All right, be careful now.
I will. See you later!
She's going to be okay, right?
Oh!
A butterfly!
All right! Time for round two.
Huh?
Is that you, Myako?
You haven't seen her yet, have you, Mistress?
You mean Yuurei-chan?
I haven't. She's not with you?
I-I knew it...
Knew what?
I think I'm lost.
Where am I...?
Excuse me!
Can anyone tell me where Miss Shachiku's office is?!
Can you tell me how... how to get back to Miss Shachiku's work?!
Hey... Somebody...
Can't anybody hear me?
Nobody ever noticed me.
Nobody ever responded to me.
I've always, always,
always been alone.
No one could hear my voice.
No one could see me. No one knew I existed.
Except for her.
Miss Shachiku...
Oh, there she is!
Hey!
I'm so glad we found you, Yuurei-chan!
Miss Shachiku...
Did you get lost? Are you okay?
Is it...
Is it okay for me to stay with you?
I'm... sorry!
I'm sorry...
I got lost!
Is that okay...?
It's all good.
You must have been so scared by yourself.
But you're okay now. You're safe.
Oh? You're heading back without us?
Meow!
U-Uh, yes!
I forgot there's something I have to do.
I'll see you both at home.
H-Here, Miss Shachiku.
What's this?
Good luck!
It's a packed lunch!
Did you make this for me, Yuurei-chan?
Yeah...
But you can't eat it.
Why's that?
It's not good.
Myako taught me so much...
But it didn't turn out very well.
I just wanted to help you leave work.
But I messed it all up.
I'm sorry!
She came out to bring me this?
Don't eat it!
Spit it out!
It doesn't taste good!
It's delicious, actually.
It isn't! Even Myako said it has no flavor.
She might be right.
But you put so much effort into making it for me, you know?
Just knowing that...
makes it absolutely delicious!
You mean it?
Yup!
I mean it.
I'm glad.
So, so...
Can you leave now?
Huh?
Well...
Now I can work overtime for sure!
Why?!
I'm all fired up from that delicious meal!
But I worked so hard so you could leave early!
And now it's my turn to work hard!
P-Please leave already!

Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost.
Aw, she's so cute!
It's a mini Shiba Inu!
What a well-behaved little thing! She's so tiny too!
Sorry about this...
Oh, it's nothing.
Is she cosplaying?
Why don't you go pet her too?
Isn't she a cutie?
Gulp...
No, I'm fine. Thank you...
What's this?
Don't tell me you're afraid of a little puppy.
Such a child, isn't she?
I am not!
I can pet her! You'll see!
It's a monster!
It's gonna bite me! It's gonna gobble me up!
It's okay, Yuurei-chan.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
But she gave me a fright!
I'm scared!
She was just being friendly.
See?
Don't come any closer!
Come now.
Stop it! She's gonna bite me!
She's gonna chomp me up and eat me!
See?
You're not gonna bite me, doggie?
You'll be my friend?
She's so cute and fluffy!
Sure is! I'm glad you like her.
That tickles!
So, do you think you like dogs now?
Yeah, they're so cute! Cuter than Myako, even!
What's that? Just what are you implying?
No fighting now!
I mean, you felt how soft she was too, right?
Uh-huh...
