Episode 5
Provide Unlimited Hospitality
in Limited Time
Aww
No guests today either.
We aren't getting any.
We have guests.
My first chance to entertain guests!
The following alien-language conversations
\h\h\hhave been translated into a familiar Earth
\h\h\hlanguage for your viewing enjoyment.
We offer our beloved Gingarou our heartfelt
Gingarou and our brightest Gingarou!
Welcome to the Gung-Ho Gingarou!
What a bummer.
There's, like, nothing on this planet.
C'mon, you're still sulking?
I mean, I finally get to see you,
and you bring me to this boring galaxy?
I said I'm sorry. Cheer up.
Sir, ma'am!
Will you be staying?
You'll have to cheer me up yourself.
You're a coy little minx, you know that?
And you love me for it.
Sir, ma'am, do you need a room for the night?
Yeah, a room for two tentacles.
We'll check out in the morning.
Hey, he ignored me!
Certainly.
Please fill out this card, then.
How did you find out about our hotel?
A friend told me.
You know what he said?
"It's a bit unconventional,
but it's one fine hotel."
Thank you for the kind words.
I'm delighted to hear it,
and the rest of the staff will be too.
Now then,
here's your room key.
Hold it!
I'll show you to your room!
Actually, I'm kinda craving a drink.
Is there any alcohol on this planet?
There is. We have some ready to serve.
Squee! I love sweet drinks!
Hey, my lovely
Your tentacles are always
so cold to the touch.
Are they?
But, like they say, cold tentacles
mean a warm heart.
The space languages you taught me
came in handy earlier.
I wish I could've entertained them
like you taught me.
What's the matter?
What's wrong?
It seems we've run out
of the alcohol we had in storage.
Huh? But we had so much!
What do you wanna do next?
Should I tickle your feet?
We burned through it at an alarming rate
after your family began its stay here.
Sorry about my family of alcoholic drunukis.
Should I go look for more?
We've already checked every building
within an eight-kilometer radius.
Oh
Why do people even drink alcohol?
It just tastes bad.
Do we even need that crap?
You guys need to get over here
and raise the vibes!
Certainly.
As a special measure, since we
currently have no other guests
I will now start Gingarou's very own
original drinking chant.
Ladies and gentlemen, are you sure
you haven't forgotten anything?
Got everything!
We only safeguard forgotten items for
three months!
But you, our beloved guests, will never
ever be forgotten, all right!
Party night!
Ginga-Ginga-Ginga, Ginga-Ginga-Ginga,
Ginga-Ginga-Ginga, Gingarou?
Ginga-Ginga-Ginga, Ginga-Ginga-Ginga,
Ginga-Ginga-Ginga, Gingarou!
Drink up!
Drink up, drink up!
Whoa, we do need alcohol!
Right. Without it, Ponko,
you wouldn't have been born.
Sis was born from alcohol?
Yes. It was a one-night blunder.
My very own blunder.
My very precious blunder.
Keep the party rolling and the booze flowing!
We're terribly sorry, sir.
We've already served
the last of our drinks.
Huh? You're out?
What about those bottles?
They're for decoration.
No more? Really?
It's all finished.
No This can't be!
I know where I can find more alcohol!
Be right back with it!
I'm back!
Wait, huh?
Welcome back, Ponko.
It seems they're all partied out.
That bottle
I remembered seeing it when
we were cleaning.
Yachiyo?
This is the owner's bottle.
We can't serve it.
I, along with all of our staff,
eagerly await your next stay with us.
Thanks. We'll come again.
Love you
I'm glad they enjoyed their stay.
They even said they'd be back.
Yep! But we don't have any more alcohol.
Should I go look for it farther out?
Even if we did that,
we'd still run out eventually.
Oh
So let's make some.
Yeah, let's make
What? Alcohol?!
We can do that?!
It is possible, though we'll have to
make several preparations first.
Ugh!
Hold it! I'm gonna catch you!
Please don't make loud noises right now.
I'm so dead. I can't.
Stop, it hurts.
Gotcha.
Attention, please!
We will be making alcohol.
Making alcohol, you say? Like wine?
You mean sake?
Beer, surely?
No. What we'll be making
is single malt whisky.
What's whisky?
Whisky is a liquor made by malting
grains such as barley or corn
and then fermenting and distilling them.
What does it taste like?
I believe we've served you some already.
So, when will we get to drink this whisky?
I want to get smashed soon.
Well, you can get smashed
in a hundred years or so.
A hundred years?!
Why not make something simpler?
No.
It has to be whisky,
or this will all be pointless.
Listen up.
I want you all to work toward something.
It can be a small, realistic goal
or a grand pipe dream—anything goes.
Do you have any dreams, Owner?
Hmm, that's a good question. I have plenty.
First
I'd like to construct a big
hot-spring bath for this hotel.
Then I want to come up with new
menu items for the restaurant,
launch a satellite with a Gingarou
logo to advertise the hotel
What else?
Oh, right, yes.
I want to make this.
Whisky?
Yes. Making whisky takes time and effort.
But putting in lots of effort doesn't
guarantee that you'll produce great whisky.
It sounds similar to the hotel business,
don't you think?
I mean
You could provide the perfect
hospitality and service,
but there's no guarantee
the guest will leave satisfied.
This business has only evolved as far
as it has through trial and error
because while it had no right answers,
it was full of dreams!
Gingarou is one fine hotel.
And it will get even better.
The ultimate hotel needs
to serve the ultimate whisky.
Oh Okay.
After our owner left us,
we decided to make the dreams he laid out
a part of our our guiding principles.
We started by working on the hot spring site
in between our normal operations,
Planned Hot Spring Site
Gingarou Hotel
but the majority of the robots in our employ
have had to be put on indefinite leave.
Therefore, whisky production will have
to wait until we strike a hot spring.
Hey, let's all help Yachiyo
and the other robots out!
They do so much for us!
And life will be more fun
with alcohol to drink, right?
I'll help too.
True. Nothing helps more than booze on nights
when you want to forget everything.
Indeed.
Okay, let's give it a shot.
Thank you.
Thank you all so much.
So, what kind of flavors are we aiming for?
You can't leave on a journey without a map.
I have a suggestion.
Provide Unlimited Hospitality
in Limited Time
Yachiyo?
Are you sure about this?
Isn't that bottle important to you?
Our owner always put
the hotel's interests first.
This drink will help show us the way.
It has the aroma of the morning mist
when you stick your head out of the den.
It has a medium body with a hint of grooming
and a complex finish
Wow, this is delicious.
Oh, you should definitely
taste it too, Yachiyo.
No, I'm afraid I'm only equipped
to process high-octane gas
You'll be fine.
Close your eyes and drink up.
I must refuse. There's no telling
what will happen to me, so
I'll break I'll break! Bub-glub-glub!

Things are finally starting
to fall into place.
Anything is possible, huh?
The building across from us became so big.
I wish we had some booze to celebrate with.
Okay, let's make some whisky!
The booze is done at last!
Let's try it.
I mean, it can get you drunk
but it feels lacking somehow.
Hmm
Yachiyo, how about we taste
the owner's whisky to compare?
Mm! This is it!
It really has a kick to it.
Yeah, the one before lacked a kick.
Uh, I mean, it's plenty good in its own way!
Right. Life is a series of compromises.
Compromises, you say?
Hey, hey!
I was wondering where this bombshell beauty
came from, but it's just Yachiyo.
Hey, Babeh-O. Where have you been?
Nankurunaisa!
You went to Okinawa?
Ocean crossings are hell, babeh.
Anyway, looks like your whisky's done.
Hmm? You didn't use any peat?
This doesn't hit the spot for me, babeh.
What's peat?
Peat is an accumulation of partially decayed
vegetation or organic matter in soil.
Smoking the grain with it
adds layers of aroma and flavor.
If it's soil we need, I'll go get some!
You can't.
Peat is only found in moorlands,
which used to exist nearby in the past
But now, the nearest ones are in Hokkaido.
Hokkaido?! We can't get there
Round the world
and back again!
Well, Yachiyo?
To make our dream come true
I'll even go to Islay if need be!
As they say over there,
in for a penny, in for a pound.
Can we use my poop as peat?
It looks like—
Nope.
Yachiyo!
What next?
Well, we could try cultivating
the barley we use.
Dun, dun, dun!
It always feels so strange.
This clear liquid turns so brown
when you age it in casks for a while.
That's right.
It'll take a few years
maybe even a few decades.
And we have no idea how it will actually taste.
It's exciting, huh?
It is.
Let us wait with bated breath.
All right, everyone. Give it a taste.
Ah, now this is wabi-sabi.
Delicious. I think I'm going to
take tonight off being a mommy.
This color reminds me of the hat
my late husband, Danzaburo, used to wear!
We ran into so many difficulties
I'm glad we didn't give up.
This is beautiful!
Time has its own hues, I see.
We went and finished off
the owner's whisky, huh?
It's all right. Because this whisky
has inherited his dream.
True.
We broke up.
It wasn't a very respectable
relationship to begin with.
I believed in him and waited,
but I'm tired of waiting now.
Precious years of my life,
and I wasted them all.
Time isn't something you lose.
It changes constantly
and adds layers to your life.
Oh, this is great.
Thank you kindly.
That's an original whisky produced
by our hotel. It's a 15-year vintage.
Huh
When aged, whisky loses a few things
but gains many more.
I felt like all I'd done was lose, but I guess
I've gained an appreciation for fine liquor.
I believe that being able to never
stop changing is a wonderful trait.
That whisky's still on its own journey, too.
It will keep changing as time goes on.
Then
I guess I can wait for this whisky next.
Sure. Please do visit again.
You're waiting for someone too, aren't you?
