Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"I'm full. You can have the rest."

Kamishiro Shirofumi looked at her irritably and retorted:

"Didn't you just say that the stomach for desserts and the stomach for meals are not in the same place?"

Are you full now?

"Anyway, I'm already full, so hurry up and eat, don't waste food!" Erina pouted and shoved the crepe into Bai Feng's hand.

"You're the one wasting food, aren't you? I just can't do anything with you." Kamishiro Shirofumi reluctantly took the half-eaten crepe and ate it directly.

Upon seeing this, Erina squinted her eyes, looking very happy.

And at this time.

Just as Mizuno Maki was about to take her broken bicycle to a repair shop, she witnessed this scene.

At this moment.

She felt a slight, indescribable tightness in her heart.

But Maki Mizuno didn't understand what this feeling was like.

She simply stood at a distance and watched the two of them silently.

He slowly recalled the story of Kamishiro-kun and this girl.

She remembered the girl.

Although the girl had changed into casual clothes, it was obvious that she was the same girl who had gone to school with Kamishiro-kun before, and even exchanged lunches with him.

What is this girl?

What exactly is his relationship with Kamishiro-kun?

Could they be a couple?

Otherwise, why would they be walking together in casual clothes on a Sunday?

They even ate the same food together.

They look like a couple.

Think of this.

Mizuno Maki looked at Kamishiro Shirokaze standing next to the girl, and her eyes darkened slightly.

Then he left the place without looking back.

Her long, straight black hair obscured Mizuno Maki's face, making it difficult to discern her expression.

All that could be heard was her barely audible murmur: "Liar."

After shopping at the supermarket, Shiro Kaede and Erina carried the bags back home together.

After returning home, Erina quickly placed the bag full of things on the dining table, then collapsed onto the sofa in a dejected manner.

"The sofa is still the most comfortable."

Erina's little feet, clad in white socks, dangled slightly on the sofa as she happily chatted with her classmates on her phone.

Kamishiro Shirofumi was too lazy to complain about this guy. After tidying up his things, he took the new lock and started repairing the door.

soon.

The door has been repaired.

After washing his hands, Shiro Shiro checked the time and realized it was almost time for the Shiina Cafe to open.

I guess the boss is waiting for me too.

Then I decided to go out.

He said to Erina:

"I've fixed the toilet door."

"Oh," Erina turned to look at the toilet door lock and fell silent for a moment.

"I'm going out now. Remember to close the door when you leave."

"Hey, you're going to work this early today?" Erina was a little surprised; she thought Bai Feng would stay home a little longer.

"It's not for work, I just have some things to take care of." After saying that, Shiro Shiro started packing his things, preparing to leave.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"I'm just going to the shopping street early. I won't be back very early tonight. Remember to tell your aunt."

Erina replied with "Oh," and then saw Bai Feng leave without looking back. She was immediately annoyed, thinking, "It's not like I'm going to work, why the rush to the shopping street? Wouldn't it be better to stay home?"

A thousand-year-old shopping street.

Shiina Cafe.

As soon as Shiro Shiro entered, he immediately heard the coffee shop owner's surprised voice.

"Hey, the guy's here!"

Hirosuke Shiina entertained Shirakawa.

"sit."

"How did your decision go yesterday?"

He had barely helped Bai Feng sit down when he asked him some questions out of curiosity.

Shiro Shiro looked at him, pondered for a moment, and then nodded:

"can!"

"I agree to your conditions."

Hirosuke Shiina said with some surprise:

"I thought you would try to negotiate."

"Do you think you'll lower the price if I try to bargain?" Kamishiro Shiro asked rhetorically.

"Of course not. The price I'm offering you is already very low." Shiina Hirosuke shook his head and laughed. "After all, you can take over this shop now by paying 20 yen in rent every month. If you push the price down further, even if I lose money, I'm not really willing to sell it."

Jindai Bai Feng smiled helplessly:

"Now that everything is decided, let's sign the contract."

Hirosuke Shiina replied:

"I have the contract ready, but we still need to wait for the management of the Millennium Shopping Street to come before we can sign it."

"Wait here for me, I'll call the management of the shopping street right now."

"Okay." Kamishiro Shiro nodded and then sat down in the shop to wait.

Not a moment.

After finishing the phone call, Shiina Hirosuke said, "She'll be here in a bit. Now, let me show you around and show you around the shop."

“Okay.” Shiro Shiro naturally wouldn’t refuse this offer.

After explaining what to be aware of on the first floor, Shiina Hirosuke pointed to the stairs and said:

"The second floor is where goods and other miscellaneous items are stored."

"Come up with me, I'll tell you about the storage methods and storage dates for those materials."

"Okay." Kamishiro Shiro nodded and followed him up.

After entering the second floor.

The first thing that came into view of Shiro Kaede was a storage room and a bathroom.

Hirosuke Shiina explained:

"There are two toilets here; the one downstairs is for customers to use."

"The one above is the staff restroom."

As he spoke, he sighed with emotion:

"When my wife used to run this place, business was pretty good."

"There are one or two employees here."

"But right now, eh."

Shirokaze asked, "Did your wife manage this shop before?"

"Yes." Shiina Hirosuke looked somewhat worried when he brought up the topic.

"Where is your wife now?"

"Her? Well, never mind, there's nothing to say about this." Upon hearing this, Shiina Hirosuke shook his head helplessly, and even started to feel in his pocket, taking out a cigarette and smoking it with a troubled expression.

Seeing his expression, Shiro Shiro knew he had asked a question he shouldn't have, so he didn't press the matter further.

Hirosuke Shiina's eyes showed a hint of weariness as he continued to explain:

"These coffee beans have already been roasted and can be stored for about three months."

"One small packet of coffee beans was also unroasted."

"If you want to bake yourself, there's a small baking machine downstairs. If you're interested, you can tinker with it a little."

"However, you don't have an SC certificate (food production license) right now. If you rashly start making it yourself, you could get into a lot of trouble if someone reports you."

"If you want to roast or sell your own coffee beans, then wait until you get your certification."

"Hmm." Shiro Shiro knew about this as well, but didn't say anything more.

Next, Hirosuke Shiina gave a brief introduction, including the staff restroom.

"This bathroom has a shower and a bathtub."

"If you smell like coffee all over, you can take a shower here before going home."

"As for washing machines, there aren't any here. If you want to use one, you can go to the self-service laundromat in the shopping street."
