Elevator Attendant
This is the story of a girl who dreams of being an elevator attendant...
Mako-chan, are you playing with my makeup again?
Mommy! When I grow up, I'm gonna be an elevator girl!
Well, well, you certainly look like a very cute one.
Going up!
Pudding à la mode is so good, isn't it?
Which floor do they sell business formal on again?
I wonder if there are any events today.
Hey, Mommy, I wanna ride the elevator a whole bunch today!
If that's what you want.
I'll be shopping downstairs, and then I'll come back here,
so you can ride the elevator in the meantime.
That way I'll know where to find you, right?
Yay!
But that means you can't get off the elevator, no matter what.
And this needs to be the only one that you ride in.
I know. I promise not to leave the elevator.
Going up.
Okay, I'm heading downstairs now, so remember our promise.
Okay!
Miss, what floor would you like to visit?
All of them!
Miss Elevator Girl, I want to go to every floor!
All of them, then?
Yeah! I want to ride on an elevator forever and ever.
That way I can always watch you work!
Very good. Riding forever, then?
In that case, let's head to the very top.
Hey, when I grow up, can I be an elevator girl like you?
Of course you can, little elevator girl.
Yay!
Now, then, going even further up.
I'm telling you, I know my daughter was on that elevator!
But, ma'am...
There are four units, right?
I know I saw that it was marked as number four!
The thing is...
I know. I promise not to leave the elevator.
Look, I understand what you're saying,
but this department store has only ever operated three elevators.
My daughter is on that elevator!
She promised me that she would stay on it!
Going up!
Now headed to the top floor, and the special event hall.
That's very good!
I'm gonna ride this elevator forever!
Going up!
