The Konbini at 11:18 P.M.

At 23:18, Amina enters a convenience store looking for cold medicine, dinner, cash and a printed bus voucher. The visit takes her from the medicine label to the food wrapper, checkout, Seven Bank ATM and Network Print machine. The next morning, she returns to a TA-Q-BIN counter with a parcel for her Tokyo hotel.

This 24-page story explains why services differ by branch, why eating inside changes the tax treatment, why an overseas-card ATM user should choose JPY, what a PDF print costs and which details a parcel counter needs. Each chapter ends with the price, limit or category that changes the result.
