8th Screw [Accidental Video]

[Hey there, Hinoto-Ri. There's a certain hardworking robot girl that's just about hit her limit tonight, and thanks to having accidentally turned on the broadcasting function of her watch while she was taking it off to do some work, you all get to see just what she's been dealing with ever since half the city disappeared.]

Ahhhhhh... I don't understand any of this! What am I supposed to do?

[Nano is loudly whining to herself while sitting at a desk. There are papers stacked and scattered everywhere haphazardly, along with several calculators sitting in various locations on the desk, paper streaming out of them like ticker tape at a parade. Other receipts are messily strewn about the desk and the room, and even more go flying as Nano pounds the desk in frustration before flopping forward onto it.]

I can't run a business! What was I thinking?

What are the others for? I've never seen how a market was run before...

I think some of them are receipts for things that were bought here, and the others are for the store's inventory...

Good.

[She looks around, passing a critical eye over the papers, then smiles.]

Well, I think things are better organized now. Can you manage the rest on your own, or do you need me to stay for a while?

No, it's not-- There are many other things that are much stranger here!

A-Are you sure...?

I think I should be all right now. I've already imposed on you enough as it is.

I'm very sure.

[And she means it truly. Just look at this reassuring smile!]

A-all right. Thank you.

[Nano bows her head gratefully.]

Oh, well do you need help sorting these papers too? Or do you just want the program I found?

Now that we have that sorted out...

Shall we look over the numbers? Here's what I've come up with.

[She slides her sheet over to Nano.]

Um... maybe we should transfer the program first, if it would really make this all easier.

U-um... here are mine.

[Nano finishes up on her side and then slides hers over in return.]

Alright then. Feel free to call if you need help again.

Let's see... If we compare the two, then we should be able to see how much profit you made.

[...She is hoping there is a profit at least! Subtract from that column, carry the two...]

Thank you so much, Palutena-san!

[Polite and grateful bows all around.]

[Nano gets down to the business of calculating too.]

...Oh! Look, Misato-san! The store made money!

[Just a bit, but it's a start!]

I'm so relieved...!

No trouble at all. Good luck with your business.

[She relaxes a little upon hearing that.]

This is great! If you can keep up the pace, hopefully you will be able to attract more and more customers so your business can keep growing bit by bit!

Maybe we should have special store events and things like that to attract more people...

[Nano folds her arms, thinking for a moment.]

Ah! What about a lottery?

A lottery for your customers? That might be a good idea! Just make sure you keep the prize within your budget, too.

I'll have to see what we can afford.

Well, you have a little money to work with here, but it might also be good to save for now and see where you are in another month. It depends on how confident you are in your customer-base.

But I'm probably not the best person to give any advice on this, either. I've had to help with accounts in my student council, but that's about it...

Well, you're more qualified than I am...

I wouldn't say that... You already have more experience with running this place than I do.

I still don't feel like I really have a good grasp of things, though.
