The next morning, Tachibana tells her new co-worker, Mizuho, that she's been working at the curry place for a while, but that she doesn't like the way the other girls are treating her. She's also worried about Mizho's hip, which she'll have to take care of when he's back in the States. Mizuhi says he'll take her home and cook dinner for her, but Mizuhanda won't let her go. Mizhanda says she'd like to replace the store's owner with someone more experienced, and Mizuh tells her that he'd be happy to hire Mizuha as his new assistant. They're both excited to see each other again, though Mizuhea's a little worried that Mizha isn't going to be able to keep up with Mizhea.
