Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"It would be bad if I caught a cold."

Mizuno Maki's voice and expression were somewhat tense.

From her trembling hands and expression, Shiro Shiro knew that Mizuno Maki was afraid. Realizing this, he shook his head and said:

"no need."

"My home is nearby."

"Go back."

With that, Shiro Shiro opened his umbrella and left.

As Mizuno Maki watched his departing figure, she inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

But the thought that he had just left like that was unbearable.

She felt a mix of emotions.

In that instant, Maki Mizuno thought about many things.

After Kamishiro Shirokaze completely left.

Mizuno Maki finally snapped out of her daze and unknowingly returned to her home.

After locking the door.

She went to change her clothes and wash up as usual.

After finishing all of this.

Maki Mizuno sat down at the table, intending to study.

But no matter how much she wanted to learn...

My mind is filled with memories of Kamishiro-kun.

I simply can't learn it.

Maki Mizuno sat in a chair, propping her head up in her hands, lost in thought.

I got a favor from Kamishiro-kun today.

If it weren't for him, I would definitely have been questioned by the police.

Without a guardian, I will definitely find myself in a very troublesome situation.

But things are alright now.

Thanks to Kamishiro-kun's help, he escaped from the police.

That way, I won't have to worry about this for the time being.

But why did he refuse his invitation?

Maki Mizuno was a little confused.

And then there's Kamishiro-kun's academic record.

She couldn't understand why Kamishiro-kun's grades were all graded C.

And this was under the circumstances of being expelled by President Hojo.

But he would rather work after school?

Shouldn't we be studying even harder at this time?

Otherwise, if I get expelled, I'll never see you again, right?

He probably still likes me, right?

If that's the case, then why not continue to study hard?

You should keep trying and try not to be expelled.

Could it be because he felt his grades were too poor and being expelled was inevitable?

That's why they cherish the time they spend with me even more, preferring to work with me after school rather than waste time studying.

That should be the case.

Otherwise, I really can't understand why he would waste his time working.

Hmm. Boys' thoughts are so complicated.

I can't figure it out

Even so, we should still give it a shot.

Perhaps within these forty-odd days.

Who knows, a miracle might actually happen!

Mizuno Maki felt inexplicably annoyed and confused when she thought about this.

Although I don't like Kamishiro-kun

But since Kamishiro-kun helped me today, I'll see if I can repay him in terms of my studies.

Yes. I'm doing this to repay a debt of gratitude, not for any other reason!

Yes, it is like that!

It's decided then!

I'm just repaying Kamishiro-kun's kindness appropriately!

------

Shiro Shiro pushed open the door and returned home.

"I am back!"

Erina Kamishiro, who was studying in the living room, peeked out and looked at him shyly.

Welcome back.

Kamidai Bai Feng said doubtfully:

"Hasn't Auntie come back yet?"

"Are you working overtime again today?"

Erina Kamishiro nodded and said:

"Yes, my aunt said that after finishing today's overtime, I won't have to work overtime for a while."

"And it seems like I'll be back a little earlier today than yesterday."

"I just asked her, and she said she's already on her way back."

"It's already on its way, that's great." Upon hearing this, Shiro Shiro was no longer worried. He carried the groceries he would need for tomorrow morning and put them in the refrigerator.

In Japan, groceries bought at night are much cheaper than those bought in the morning.

Although it's not as fresh as it was in the morning.

However, since it was the ingredients from that day...

As long as it's stored properly in the refrigerator, there won't be any problems.

"Are you going to take a bath now?" Erina Kamishiro asked curiously, "I've already prepared the bathwater; the temperature should be just right for you now."

"Let's talk about it later."

"Oh," Erina Kamishiro thought that Bai Feng was saying this because he was planning to have a late-night snack, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Meanwhile, Shiro Kaede was finding it difficult to contain his excitement.

After all, he had already saved up 100,000 yen.

I figured I had to start my next career first, no matter what.

Taking a bath is not as urgent as this.

Think of this.

He immediately went back to his bedroom and took out all the money.

soon.

As soon as Shiro saw the values ​​on his panel change, another message popped up.

[Amount required to unlock the next career: 100000/100000]

[The required amount to unlock the next profession has been reached. Would you like to unlock it now?]

【whether】

Without hesitation, Shiro Kaede clicked "Yes"!

The 100,000 yen in his hand vanished instantly, its whereabouts unknown.

As the money disappeared, several messages popped up on his screen.

Congratulations on obtaining the chef profession!

Congratulations! You have acquired the skill 'Delicious Enhancement'!

Ok?

Did you immediately gain skills after obtaining a profession?

Shiro Shiro was somewhat pleasantly surprised.

After all, his initial student profession only unlocked skills at level 3.

Now, level 1 chefs have skills directly available.

It's simply too good!

Shiro was curious about what the chef's skill, 'Delicious Enhancement,' was.

He clicked on it and took a look.

[LV1 Delicious Enhancement: This skill can elevate the flavor of any dish you make to the next level, directly doubling its texture and deliciousness.]

When Shiro Shiro saw the description of this skill, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed!
