Everyone worked as hard as ever today.

Yachiyo, we're steadily getting more guests.

Humanity's not back yet, though.

Can't we get a clearer image?

We have no choice.

Prepare the Galactica Poko Riot

Lucky Bag m*ssile for launch!

Fire!

Show me!

Huh?

Yachiyo?!

Bartendy! Stop the m*ssile!

Stop it!

I'll go get her!

Yachiyo!

Yachiyo!

Yachiyo?!

These robots are already equipped

with knowledge in several fields.

No need to waste any time

training them on data.

How far technology has come!

It's wonderful, but that said

Good morning, everyone.

I'm the owner of the Gingarou Hotel,

where you'll all be working from now on.

Nice to meet you.

It is a pleasure to meet you.

You'll be working off of your data banks

to receive and serve many a guest.

I'm sure the guests will leave very satisfied.

But that in itself is not enough.

Is there something lacking?

There is. The spirit of hospitality.

You want robots to have spirit?

Yes, exactly.

The hotelier business is built

on personal connections.

Hearts and souls that evolve with experience.

And you can't teach that.

I believe you can say the same

for these robots.

See and experience your

predecessors' work for yourselves,

learn what it means to form

connections with people,

and cultivate the spirit of hospitality.

The spirit of hospitality

Indeed.

I'm sure you'll understand, too.

All right!

The time is finally upon us.

I may be the owner of this hotel,

but you will be the ones who give it value.

I can't wait to see what kind of hotel

this will turn out to be.

Let us welcome our guests, then.

Offer them our heartfelt hospitality

and our brightest smiles.

Our heartfelt hospitality

and our brightest smiles.

Here's the key to your room.

Allow me to show you the way.

We hope you enjoy your stay.

Miss

I was watching the fish in the tank,

and then Mommy was gone.

and then Mommy

That isn't good. Let me look for her.

There she is.

I found her.

Shall we go?

\hBreaking Mystery Virus May Continue to Spread

The mystery virus that has been detected

in several places across the globe

threatens to spread even further

in the following weeks.

\hBreaking Mystery Virus May Continue to Spread

We urge you not to believe

rumor and hearsay

and panic!

Always make decisions with

a clear mind and act accordingly.

I'm sorry it had to come to this.

But rest assured, I'll be back in no time.

Until then, I leave the hotel

in your capable hands.

You can count on us, Owner.

You can count on me!

Extraterrestrials also

Y-Y-Yachiyo!

Yachiyo. Yachiyo. Yachiyo. Yachiyo.

Yachiyo! Yachiyo!

Yachiyo!

Oh, you're up.

Morning, Yachiyo.

Good morning.

You are

Guess who!

Ponko.

How'd you know?

I ran retinal and voice ID scans.

Aw, I wanted to see you all surprised.

You're an organic life form.

It's only natural that you would grow.

I'm more surprised about

this body of mine, if anything.

What exactly

Welcome home, Yachiyo.

Discipline with a Fist! Reconcile with a High Five!

How long was I out of commission for?

I don't remember how long

you were lost in space for,

but it's been around 50 years

since you crashed back down to Earth.

Crashed?

Oh, right. I

I was operating outside of the satellite

when a solar flare hit,

and all my precision mechanisms

went out of control.

I was drifting, unable to return

to the pod, for years.

But then

I'm so glad we didn't sh**t you down.

I see. So even after 50 years,

you have been unable to complete repairs

on my body.

We just couldn't find any spare parts

compatible with your model.

I have returned.

So many guests!

I updated your translation program, so you

should be able to understand most of them.

Great hotel. I really enjoyed my stay.

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.

Please do come again.

Has humanity come back, too?

Nah, not yet.

I see. Still

You've done an amazing job

running and growing the hotel.

The robots did a great job serving our guests.

Babeh-O and my family also helped out,

and I did my best too, of course.

I can tell by the smiles on their faces.

Take a look!

See how big that little thingy has gotten?

It's able to emit a bunch of electricity now.

We've automated the key handover process.

And there's no need to go

pick up money every time now.

We've also enhanced the shampoo

so that it doesn't hurt extraterrestrial eyes.

This is the exterior face?

It looks considerably different.

We've equipped a defense system, after all.

Bath-arou

Poko-pon!

You finished building the hot-spring bath?

Yep! And our guests love it!

Amazing.

Isn't it?

What's that?

The Yachiyo Memorial Statue.

You were an indispensable part

of the hotel, after all.

"Memorial"?

Oh, sh**t.

Sorry, Yachiyo.

I need to clock out early tonight.

Grandma's been sick for a while now.

Madame Mujina?

Yeah

Starting tomorrow, let's have fun

working together again, okay?

Tomorrow never dies

President, Gingarou Hotel

Don't count your tanuki

before they hatch

More venom

for the aliens

Groom yourself

all the way to the tail

Wag your tail,

but never wag a shift!

Fry the Nudels,

not the rooms!!

Operational Records

Even without me here,

this hotel kept running just fine.

I'm a hotelier robot!

Working at the hotel is all I can do!

I must fulfill my duties!

Stains, none!

Droplets, none!

Mold, none.

Amenities, good.

Shampoo hat, gone!

No shampoo hats in any of the rooms.

All good

Hello there.

I'll be resuming front-desk

duties as of today.

Please don't stop me!

I must pass to do my job!

I apologize for not being able to help.

Oh, right, right.

Ponko went home without

filling out the logbook last night.

What will she ever do without me?

Wha? Yachi-YO?

Ponko, I should get going soon.

Ponko?

Yarr

Report to Work

Hey, is Yachi-YO out there

firing missiles again?

Flycatchy went to get her yesterday

and had to flee again.

When I heard about it, I thought

she'd get over it in a few days,

but I guess she's totally broken bad.

Yachiyo!

Ponko?

Nice ride you got there.

How much longer are you

gonna keep skipping work?

You used to be such a stickler for the rules!

What's the big deal?

Not like I can do a damn thing anyway.

That's not true!

We were all so happy to see you back!

Shut yer trap!

I was supposed to keep the owner's

Gingarou up and running!

That was the promise I made him!

But his hotel no longer exists!

It's gone, and yet the guests

remain happy and satisfied!

So what am I supposed to do?!

Just come back to work!

The hotel's still right there!

We kept it going for you!

You did.

That means I don't need

to keep it going anymore.

How can you say that?!

I wanted to keep working with you!

And make it a hotel that got tons of guests!

Yarr

That was my dream!

It was the same for me!

Seeing so many guests at the Gingarou

was like a dream come true!

Yarrchiyo

And yet

I don't understand it, either!

An unknown error has taken over my system!

For some reason, I've been overcome

with the urge to destroy things!

Destruction is my only distraction!

Yachiyo

You idiot!

Takes one

to know one, idiot!

You understand nothing about my algorithm!

I get it! A true hotelier's spirit

is built on empathy!

You were the one who taught me that, Yachiyo!

Ponko!

Yachiyo!

Yarrchiyo

We only kept the Gingarou running for you!

Because that's what you wanted to do!

We couldn't have done it

without following your example!

We built that memorial statue

to keep you fresh in our minds—

so we could keep believing

you'd come back to us one day!

We waited and waited for so long!

So long that I grew up and became an adult!

Then why

Why'd you make it look like

the Buddha in Nirvana statue?!

Yarrchiyo

I'm just a hotelier robot.

I was built to give my all to the hotel.

Nobody should ever do the same for me.

Nobody's doing that.

Also, you're not "just a hotelier robot."

You're you.

I fail to understand.

There's no substitute for you!

We all love you to death!

I fail to understand!

Isn't a hotelier supposed to try

to understand how people feel?!

But I

Then try to understand how I feel!

learn what it means to form

connections with people,

and cultivate the spirit of hospitality.

I

I want to work at the Gingarou again!

I wanna work with you, too!

Ponko

I feel like I'm about to cry—

You can do that

Even in that body?

And so, Yachiyo will be

returning to work again!

I went through a rebellious phase

highly unbecoming of a robot

and caused lots of trouble for you all.

I'll be certain to avoid any future heel turns.

My deepest apologies.

I look forward to working with you all again.

Okay, acting acting acting manager's orders.

Yachiyo is to return to her post as

acting acting manager as of today.

Thank you kindly.

On orders from Ponko,

the acting acting acting manager,

I'll be taking over

as the acting acting manager.

Hooray for Yachiyo!

Hah, she's finally back.

President, Gingarou Hotel

This incident made me rethink my priorities.

I now know that upkeep of tradition alone

doesn't equal upkeep of the hotel.

From now on, I will carry on

the will of the owner,

while also building off my own experiences

and the rest of the staff's ideas

Discipline with a fist!

Reconcile with a high five!

to keep the spirit of Gingarou alive.

I believe that we can all leave

our own marks on the hotel.

Leave our own marks, huh?

With that said,

I'll go restore the shampoo hats.

What?
