Black Night Parade 1

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?
