Let's tell the true story of Christmas
What a terrible story
That's right
Hmm hmm
Even bad kids
'And give them presents'
'Santa, dressed in red, will visit the homes of good children'
The real Christmas has more equality
For the sake of bad kids
Santa, dressed in black
That's not it, if you get found out by the store manager you'll be fired, you know!?
But if you throw it away, it's not ecological—!?
No senpai, even the store manager said he agrees—
Even when job hunting, flexibility is called into question
Even elementary school kids get praised as 'good kids' for that
I failed my university entrance exam
Haha...
So I tried to look for a job
I am Hino Miharu
Before I knew it, I'd spent 3 years working at this convenience store
I didn't take the glacial age seriously
Ah, this is delicious!
…This guy is 3 years younger He's a than me, I 4th year think… college kid
Ah, oh yeah, senpai, I
Furthermore, this glittering name
… I've decided to accept!
Ah… I have nothing but bad feelings about this…
*his name is written as ‘emperor’, but is pronounced ‘Kaiser’
It's already December, but there's no sense of rush…
Eh, what, the ice case?
Huh? No
So I won't be working here a lot this year
Ah, then I don't want cake
It's just a half-price cake though…
Congratulations!!
Got to eat…
Senpai?
Cake!! Don't eat that bento…
Can I go now?
I'll treat you!
…Wai… wait…
Excuse me…
Kaiserkun…
I have to take a break to eat so
Are… you done with work?
Wait you, wait outside and join the line
Sosorry
I'll give you the best Christmas night view as a present…
…Eh why? You're 30 minutes early
Sorry I… arrived too early…
Don't worry… As I promised…
Eh, even though today is Christmas …?
Eh, so early, is this alright?
There is it, senpai.. I’m going first!!
Haha ...
Are you an idiot! A convenience store is 24h!
That person looks like she isn't leaving yet though…
You know
Take night shifts On Christmas, for everyone's sake!
Good kids at senpai's level
Soon.
To find a job
I need
see ya
discard
The words 'Christmas date' sound so bubbly
‌Discard this
discard
The number of Christmas cakes being discarded has increased since last year‌
Ah you startled me!!
To be honest, Christmas is already past its prime
Sorry, after I take out the discarded trash, I'll be going…
Ah, about that, this
Sheesh, what if I had been a customer
Ah, sorry, store manager!!
This was left
On top of your bag
You know, eating discarded products
...ah You can't do that— What? Are you blaming it on Kaiserkun?
Um, it was for Kaiserkun…
…No um, that, I've put that in the register Is a crime
Seriously, why
I have a good work attitude
Why
Why Why only me
You’re blaming me?
…Found ya
When I was a kid, Christmas was fun
'Because Miharu was a good kid'
Though we didn't have a chimney or a tree
Santa would definitely come and give me a present
but Christmas after I became an adult
Ah, sorry
‌They just had to send it today‌
From around the world It seems you can receive notices of rejection
Ah--… I don't want to go home…
I bet the couple upstairs will start…
…
Tch, I should go waste time somewhere…
A horumon stall…? How rare…
Excuse me…
Ah...
Big bro Santa?
No, this is from work earlier…
Is the Santa dressed in red
Haha… he's overworked indeed
If I drink some beer, I can go home and sleep soon
But good timing
The one who has it worst today
No, not really …You have it tough too, huh
...hic
Even if it's black!!
It's good just to have a job!
but
I pray for health and success in the future…
Your Santa suit is black, why?
Having lots of jobs…
Someone like me, day after day…
That's not necessary, right
Oh yeah, mister I want a job offer…
…Heh…
…Don't you know
…Sheesh… Even black corporations are totally fine…
The red Santa goes to the homes of good children
In a real Christmas, 2 Santas must come
The black Santa goes to the homes of bad children
Heh…
Eh?
Innards
They get something
So… Bad kids don't get anything?
That'll make kids cry…
…Ah, stewed innards
Would you like seconds, miss?
Coal… Or animal innards…
And for more even worse kids
And coal, too
A whip It's all there
…You surprised me
Oh yeah, miss
Such a thing…
Would you like me to take it out and cut it? That cake
Hn!?
Ah… No, that's…
The expiration date's already… Eh, rain…
Uh…
It probably thought that looked quite delicious
With so much guilt
…
Ah, sorry
’
Steal that kind of halfprice cake...
People like you, miss, who
It's this thing's favourite
Do you know…
Coal and innards as presents for bad kids
…Why
Buh
A whip for the worse kids
…And
For the worst kids of all—…
Now now, bag
I was in the middle of my explanation
The Christmas of distant foreign countries
I saw it in picture books
This must be the real Christmas…
The real…
Uh…
When I was young, I longed for it
…Eh?
This place… … Where am I?
Could it be… I…
Oh!
Somehow this place seems like…
I'm not in the hospital after drinking too much, right
Have you woken up?
Is your hangover alright
And then, together with the red Santa Claus
The… The black guy…
I was in the middle of my explanation just now
…
…
'The worst kids are packed into the bag and kidnapped'
…it wasn't a dream…
They work for the sake of Christmas for the good kids
Congratulations, Miharu-kun
It's a job offer
Looking forward to working with you from now onwards
By the way, the monthly payment is 300 000
A bonus will be given for overtime
A dorm—!
I got a job
Ah, then could it be, the meals...
3 meals a day
There’s a dorm
Of course Transport fees?
Eh I get a wage?
