Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

I just don't know what's wrong with today.

Another handsome guy like Shiro Kaede has arrived, and another beautiful girl like Mizuno Maki has arrived.

The two introduced themselves.

Shiro Shiro only realized what was happening after hearing about Mizuno Maki and seeing her wearing the uniform of the private Shujin School.

This person is his classmate who sat in front of him!

What a coincidence, you're here to work too?

But somehow, this looks like it doesn't match the name Mizuno Maki.

He had a vague feeling that he had seen this person somewhere before.

After searching my memory...

Kamishiro Shiro suddenly realized that Mizuno Maki was the girl who was rejected by the original owner of the body.

Now that I have taken over the original owner's identity.

Wouldn't that just make it look like my confession was rejected?

Now the two of them work at the same store, what luck!

Chapter 15: A Salary Increase!

2024-07-14

Shiro Shiro reminisces about the past.

He was a student in the same junior high school and the same class as Mizuno Maki.

Due to her outstanding appearance and aloof demeanor, she is also known as the "white moonlight" or "unattainable beauty" in the hearts of many boys.

Almost every month, you can see quite a few boys going to confess their feelings to Maki Mizuno.

Unfortunately, they were all rejected.

As the original owner approached the end of junior high school, she couldn't hold back any longer and went to confess her feelings to Mizuno Maki.

As expected, he was rejected.

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

Adding to the tragedy, her parents died in a car accident, leaving her heartbroken and utterly despondent. She then committed suicide during her vacation.

Bai Feng himself was transported to this world at that time.

However, he initially thought that since he had already graduated from junior high school, he was unlikely to run into Mizuno Maki from junior high.

After all, at that time, Maki Mizuno had not told anyone where she would go to high school.

Unexpectedly, Maki Mizuno attended the private Shujin High School.

He was studying hard all day and didn't even notice that his first love was sitting in front of him the whole time.

But it doesn’t matter.

Because he physically took over the identity of the original owner.

Although he is perceived by outsiders as the original owner, his appearance has actually changed quite a bit.

It's possible that you won't recognize it on the first day.

There were actually so many boys in junior high who confessed to Mizuno Maki.

The original owner was definitely one of the cannon fodder.

Maybe Mizuno Maki didn't even remember her.

But if you remember it, things will be even worse.

Remember not to get spoken to, ignore them for the whole day, etc.

Thinking of this, Shinobu Shiro couldn't help but feel sorry for the original owner of this body.

It hurts, it hurts too much!

------

Maki Mizuno knew that she was somewhat aloof, but she also knew that this was the workplace and that proper manners were necessary.

She politely introduced herself to everyone present.

However, upon seeing that Shiro Shiro was also present, his expression became somewhat solemn and complex.

After some thought.

He felt that this person was probably not following him.

Judging from the fact that he was already wearing work clothes, he must have arrived first.

So is it a coincidence?

I'm sitting in the seat behind you; I'm working at Ichiran Ramen again today.

Never mind, it doesn't matter whether it's a coincidence or not.

I'm just here to work, make money, and then leave.

If he tries to contact me under the guise of this, I'll just refuse him again.

There is absolutely no need to have any contact with him.

Maki Mizuno has rejected many boys who tried to get close to her under false pretenses.

One more Bai Feng wouldn't make any difference to her.

at this time.

The foreman saw it and checked the time.

It's almost 5 p.m. now.

This is the time when diners eat.

The next few days will be very busy.

But three new people arrived at this time.

As far as he was concerned, he didn't need to pay much attention to Shiro Kaname. This person was doing a very good job, comparable to a veteran employee, and was already capable of leading others.

As for the other two, they will definitely need someone else to guide them.

However, they will be very busy later, and there aren't many experienced employees, so they won't have much time to train new employees.

It seems that Mizuno Maki and Kamishiro Shiro Kaede are from the same school, so let Kamishiro Shiro Kaede teach her. Anyway, that person is already familiar with the current operation.

So the supervisor pointed to the new, ordinary-looking boy and said, "It's going to be very busy right now, so come with me and I'll show you how to do things here."

"As for the remaining Mizuno Maki, you can go with Kamishiro Hakufu, who's from your school."

"As for the other long-term employees, let them go back to their positions."

"above!"

After saying that, the foreman left with the ordinary-looking boy.

The same applies to long-term employees.

Only Bai Feng and Mizuno Maki remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.

Although Mizuno Maki's expression remained aloof, her fingers, which were tightly gripping the hem of her skirt, had turned slightly blue, revealing that she was still somewhat at a loss and nervous.

She had originally thought that someone else would come to guide her, and she never expected that person would be Kamishiro.

Could it be that he wasn't a first-timer like me, but someone who had worked here before and was already an expert?

So that's why the foreman assigned him to mentor me?

Shiro Shiro was unaware of her thoughts.

I first had Mizuno Maki change into a work uniform, and then I started explaining the work process to her.

Under his care, Mizuno Maki quickly got the hang of it and became even more convinced that Kamishiro Hakufu had worked here before.

After that, the two got along peacefully and basically didn't talk to each other about anything other than work.

After working for an hour or two.

A roar of anger came from the kitchen.

Mizuno Maki listened carefully.

It seems that the new, ordinary-looking boy has done a lot of wrong things and is being scolded by the supervisor.

Not a moment.

The supervisor rushed over angrily to check on the two women, intending to say something.

But I saw that Shirakaze Kamishiro was doing a pretty good job teaching Mizuno Maki.

With him around, Mizuno Maki didn't make a single mistake.

Witnessing this, her anger gradually subsided, and she praised Kamishiro Shirofumi:

"Although the three of you came at the same time, you taught me well, and Mizuno has hardly made any mistakes under your guidance."

Mizuno Maki paused. She had thought that Kamishiro had been here for a long time, but it turned out that she was in the same batch as them.

"Kamishiro-kun, come with me now, I have something to tell you."

Shiro Kaede and the foreman went into the empty staff rest area.

The foreman said bluntly, "Kamishiro-kun, your hourly wage is 1000 yen, right?"

"Well, what happened?"

"Okay, I see you're doing a good job and you're good at teaching, so I'll raise your pay to 1200 yen per hour from now on." The supervisor paused, then continued, "But I have one request: this shop is usually quite busy, and the part-time staff can't always come. I need you to schedule more shifts recently, and I also need you to train the new staff when you have time. How does that sound?"

"Courtesy first, then force" is a very normal workplace tactic.

It was just a real increase in money, and the request wasn't outrageous. He needed the money right now, so there was no need to refuse.

"can!"
