◆A sneak peek of the main story! “It’s a gas shop!!” Episode 5 synopsis
Kiyu, who is in her first year of work, experiences one major failure while working on her new job. Kiyu also had an overly straightforward personality, which caused Kiyu to wonder, ``What could I have done to avoid making mistakes?''
At that time, a senior colleague told me, ``You can't be 100% perfect. However, you can get closer to 100%. Let's make that effort together.'' Inside the dented Kiyu, it goes around and around.
While interacting with customers, Kiyu came up with an idea. As a gas dealer, I strive to do as close to 100% as I can for my customers.
A few months after joining the company, Kiyu hears about a ``gas exhibition''. The Gas Exhibition, held every fall, is an event where gas dealers and related companies gather together to introduce gas equipment while interacting with local people. Kiyu is suddenly appointed to be in charge of the planning.
Efforts to get close to 100%. An idea that Kiyu came up with. Planning a gas exhibition. And so Kiyu's first presentation begins...!

Due to production schedules, the next update for episode 6 and the next update after that for episode 7 are nearing completion. In the manuscript that we obtained earlier, there were many things to see, such as characters that looked different from the usual characters and new characters who would play important positions in the future, so we decided to make these characters exclusive to GSC members. We will deliver it to you as soon as possible.
Kiyu's casual clothes that appear in episode 6. Kiyu usually comes to work in casual clothes, but she changes into a uniform at work before starting work.
From episode 6, the season is summer. Company uniforms will also change from the baggy ones of the past to cooler summer clothes. Iga-senpai and the president are wearing short-sleeved polo shirts, and Arika is wearing a short-length shirt with adjustable sleeve length.
Kiyu has also changed into a summer style.
And from episode 6, a small flashback episode begins. A story about Kiyu's job hunting, back when he wasn't yet a gas guy. The person with Kiyu is a friend from the same university.
Kiyu, who was at a loss when it came to job hunting, decided to visit Hoshimi Seikatsu for a certain reason. The president from about a year ago and Arika from about a year ago appeared.
In episode 7, new characters will also be introduced. Although her full-fledged appearance will take place in a later episode, according to the author, it is an encounter that will change Kiyu greatly. Please look forward to it.
