Transcript

Rin Takada stands in the aisle with one earbud in and her phone raised to record. With a tiny smirk, she bets that the customer might actually win. The page brings in Rin as the detached witness, turning Kaito’s retail headache into content and giving the scene its dry comedic chorus.

Rin films from the aisle with one earbud in, amused by the customer’s argument with Kaito.

About this chapter

3:02 AM. A man rushes in demanding only the free hot dog from a buy-2-get-1-free promo, refusing to buy the two. The register can't process it, so he decides to wait out the clock until the promo resets at 4 AM. Rin films the whole thing. The promo simply ends, devastating him — and Kaito hands him one anyway. A tight, dumb, warm one-shot.
