Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"Okay then." Nagasawa Yui picked up her small bag, stood up, and prepared to leave. But before leaving, she turned back to look at Bai Feng, her face slightly flushed, and coughed, "Don't stay up too late. It's bad for your skin. If you get pimples, you won't be able to appear on camera. How am I supposed to make you a star to pay off your debts then? Remember to go home early!"

Kamishiro Shiro said goodbye, "Okay, bye-bye."

After Yui Nagasawa left, the store became completely quiet.

Kamishiro Shirakaze then began cleaning the store by himself.

In no time, he had tidied up both the first and second floors.

After all, these two places were frequently cleaned up by their former boss, Hirosuke Shiina, so it didn't take much time.

But when it came to the situation on the third floor, he had a bit of a headache.

There's some clutter here, not to mention a lot of dust.

It looks like cleaning will take a lot of time.

However, it still needs to be cleaned.

Shiro Kaede thought it was nice that the coffee shop had space to sleep and take a shower.

If you get too busy to go home, taking a nap here might be a good option.

It was around 10 p.m.

Shiro Shiro finally cleaned up the place.

Seeing that everything was done, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the signboard and menu are ready, we can open for business here.

He was secretly pleased with the thought that he could finally make money while also gaining experience in his profession.

However, that will have to wait until tomorrow or the day after.

-

Ten p.m.

The back door of Ichiran Ramen.

"Then I'll leave it to you tomorrow as well." After saying that, the foreman handed the wages to Mizuno Maki.

But then she suddenly remembered that Mizuno Maki and Kamishiro-kun went to the same school, so she asked:

"By the way, Mizuno-san, you go to the same school as Kamishiro-kun, right?"

"Could you help me ask him why he resigned?"

Maki Mizuno hesitated for a moment, but in the end she did not refuse and agreed.

"Okay."

After receiving her wages from the foreman, she rode her bicycle home.

Looking at the nighttime streets where Kamishiro-kun used to walk with her, she felt a mix of emotions.

I guess Kamishiro-kun won't be going home with me anymore.

She was riding her bicycle, lost in thought.

Mizuno Maki suddenly saw a familiar figure surrounded by several girls.

"Hey, you're quite handsome, buddy. Want to go for a drink with me?"

"Hmm, how about we treat you, sister?"

"Come on, come on, we have quite a few treasured wines at home."

Three brightly dressed girls surrounded Shiro Kaede.

"Not interested." Shiro Shiro himself ignored the three of them with an impatient look and continued walking.

But the three of them persisted, relentlessly following Shiro Kaede around, frantically trying to find topics to talk about.

Seeing this, Mizuno Maki hesitated whether she should go up and help.

Available soon.

Those people noticed Shiro Kaede's indifference and had no choice but to leave awkwardly.

Seeing this, Mizuno Maki breathed a sigh of relief, but she also had a vague feeling that she shouldn't just be watching.

at this time.

She watched Shiro Kaede walk away alone.

Thinking that the foreman had just asked her about some things with Kamishiro-kun, this situation should be perfect, right?

Mizuno Maki bit her red lips slightly, slowly got off the bicycle, then found a tree branch to remove the chain, and finally pushed the bicycle to Kamishiro Shiro Kaede's side.

Good evening, Kamishiro-kun.

Upon hearing the voice, Shiro Shiro turned to look at the person who had entered.

Upon recognizing it as Maki Mizuno, he immediately realized it was her workday and politely replied:

"good evening."

"Hmm," Mizuno Maki replied softly. She wanted to ask what she wanted to know, but the words wouldn't come out.

I'm worried that Kamishiro-kun might misunderstand something.

So he could only nervously push his bicycle and walk slowly alongside Shiro Kaede.

at this time.

Shiro Shiro also noticed the abnormality.

He wondered why Mizuno Maki was pushing the bicycle instead of riding it.

Logically speaking, shouldn't we be rushing home at this hour?

Curious, Shiro looked down and noticed that it seemed like the bicycle chain had fallen off.

He pointed to the bicycle chain and said:

"Your bicycle chain fell off, aren't you going to put it back?"

Mizuno Maki paused, her eyes flickering slightly, before replying:

"I...I don't know how to do it."

"I see." Shiro Kaede thought it was rather pitiful to make her push her bicycle back so late.

Anyway, they're in the same class or the same literature department.

It won't make a difference if we take a minute or two.

So he took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, wrapped them around his fingers, and gestured, "Hold the bicycle for me, and I'll keep an eye on it for you."

"Hmm," Mizuno Maki nodded gently, then stood to the side holding the bicycle.

Although she knew that Kamishiro-kun was seriously fixing her bicycle, her mind was not on the bicycle at all, and her eyes were fixed on Kamishiro Shirokaze.

Not a moment.

Shiro Shiro had already put the chain back on the wheel.

After pushing the pedal around a few times and finding no problems, he looked up at Mizuno Maki:

"No problem, you can continue riding now."

Upon noticing Shiro Kaede's gaze, Mizuno Maki immediately averted her eyes and said somewhat flusteredly:

"Yeah, thank you."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." With that, Shinobu stood up, ready to leave.

After witnessing this, Mizuno Maki finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked:

"Kamidai-kun, wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Shiro Shiro turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Mizuno Maki's eyes flickered slightly: "Kamishiro-kun, did you resign?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Shiro Shiro nodded.

Mizuno Maki asked somewhat nervously, "The supervisor and other colleagues are curious about why you resigned, and they asked me to inquire about it."

Kamishiro Shirakaze was both amused and exasperated, pondering the fact that the shop's staff were still gossiping as usual.

That makes sense, though, as he didn't really explain his reasons for resigning.

Having Maki Mizuno help relay messages isn't so bad.

He explained, "I took over a coffee shop, so I'm afraid I won't have time to do part-time work anymore, so I had to resign."

Maki Mizuno was stunned, completely unexpected by this reply.

She originally thought that Kamishiro-kun resigned because he was dating that short-haired girl.

But now they've actually opened a store?

For some reason, Mizuno Maki felt a sense of relief.

Although she didn't understand Kamishiro's family background.

But hearing that he took over the coffee shop and such, I just felt that Kamishiro-kun was probably helping his family take over, right?

Essentially, it's probably still similar to working a job.

As for the option of Kamishiro becoming a boss, she would never even consider such an absurd choice.

No matter what, Kamishiro-kun is only a first-year high school student. What kind of student becomes a boss in the first year of high school?

Although Mizuno Maki now knows why Kamishiro-kun is here, she is more concerned about his relationship with that girl.

But is she qualified to ask that question?

She and Kamishiro-kun were just classmates; she had no right to pry into other people's private affairs.

是 的

Why did I ask this question?

Even if Kamishiro-kun and that girl are in a relationship, it has nothing to do with me.
