Tamaki desires an anime package shown on television but lacks the necessary funds. While visiting a kendo dojo, she overhears Miyako discussing her inability to work a part-time shift that day. Tamaki inquires about the situation, leading Miyako to offer her the position, which Tamaki accepts. Her father initially opposes the decision, citing school regulations that prohibit students from holding part-time jobs. However, he eventually consents, believing that Tamaki is maturing and anticipating that she will use her earnings to purchase a birthday gift for him. This sequence highlights Tamaki's motivation to earn money for her desired item while navigating parental expectations and school rules.
