"Sounds fun. Have fun with our phone, Boss. Try to at least save the data if you break it."

She turns to Jinta and Ururu. "Hi. I'm Sable, one of five girls crammed into this awful boyish body. Hopefully the boss helps us fix that, but for now, what do we need to know about working at the store?"

"First rule is that as your senior, you need to listen to everything I say."

"That's not a rule."

"Shush, she doesn't know that!"

"I inexplicably know enough about the two of you to know that Ururu is the sensible one, although you're both great and anyone who underestimates either of you is a moron."

Jinta preens at the description.

"I knew you were smart. Alright, so here's the till; when someone wants to buy something, you scan their items like this and then ring them up. We sweep the shop twice a day, once at lunchtime and once in the evening when we close. Ururu and I usually switch off that, but we can put you in a rotation. For most of the day you're just sitting around, but you can't be asleep when a customer comes in or Tessai will get mad. If someone needs help, you're s'posed to help them find it, but that'll probably be harder for you if you can't speak or read Japanese. In the evenings, we go restock everything from the back - we'll show you where stuff is later - and make sure everything is neat. Oh, and if an orange haired girl with a red hairclip comes in you gotta come get me."

"All makes sense so far. Two questions: can you two help me learn Japanese, and who's this orange-haired girl?"

"Yuzu Kurosaki. Jinta has a crush on her."

"No I don't! Shut up! You just don't understand how to treat the goddess with respect."

"I've never taught anyone to speak Japanese before. I could translate things for you if you needed? But maybe you'd be better off asking Tessai for help."

"Okay!" Honestly Jinta and Yuzu could do worse than each other? But she can't rule out that they could do better, either? She'll help them have chances to interact but that's it.

"Hopefully I wind up having impressed the boss enough that he lets us stay here and helps us get a body that we don't hate. That'd be great. Anything I should be doing while we wait?"

What time is it? Close to lunch?

Assuming she knows how to read an analog clock, she can learn that it's a little after 11 am!

"I dunno how much isn't obvious? If there's nobody here and there isn't a mess, mostly we just wait. Uh, quick notes: don't be rude to the cat, don't talk about spirit business in front of normal people, don't snap at customers even when they totally deserve it?"

She nods. "I've worked at a store before during summer break. All this is fairly straight-forward."

Not even quite lunch yet, so nothing to do at all. "Let's see how many products I can identify without being able to read the language."

She can probably recognize a few of them fairly easily from the brands or english lettering or appearance, such as a number of kinds of kit-kats, chocolate covered almonds, chocolate bars, and of course pocky. If she's familiar with japanese candy brands, that will net her a handful more, but even that seems woefully insufficient to categorize the place due to that fact that someone seems to have made it their mission to fill the store with as many weird candies as possible. The stock spans the gamut from peppermint-chocolate lollipops to caramel gummies with strawberry jelly. It's not just sweets though; there's also a wide variety of other snacks, like chips or something involving breaded shrimp.

That is a deeply impressive collection of snacks and candies. And sure, she can't manage many names, but she can figure out types and categories and how those are organized.

"Who makes the stocking decisions, the boss or Mr. Tessai?"

"Urahara does most of it, including stuff he makes himself, but sometimes Tessai puts his foot down."

"That's honestly impressive. This is a pretty great selection of candy and snacks."

She looks around with a hum. "I've got a decent idea of where different sorts of things are, at the very least. What're we going to do about the fact that I don't speak Japanese, though? I doubt customers will expect an English-speaker to be working in a store."

"It's easy! All you gotta do is say Irasshaimase whenever someone comes in and then read out the price whenever you're done scanning, so you only have to learn the numbers."

"Jinta! You're supposed to be helping customers if they have questions. Maybe you could start out working with me and we could make some note cards of common questions- hey, stop messing with my hair!"

"Then you should stop being such a goody two shoes about it. 'Sides, all the important stuff you need to get the boss for they'll be able to talk to you just fine."

"Notecards are a good idea," she agrees with a nod at Ururu. Cute how they mess with each other. Although huh. "Everyone in the know can speak English?", she asks with a questioning headtilt.

"Y'know, spirits? They don't really talk the normal way, just communicate directly. Course they gotta learn the normal way if they want to read or listen to recordings, but face to face is easy."

"Huh, that's really cool! Does that mean that if Urahara-san sets us up with a gigai we'll be able to do that too?"

"I dunno, maybe? You should ask the boss."
