Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Perhaps I can take a good look at this when I open the store today.

After handing the lemonade to Nagasawa Yui, Shiro Shiro turned to Mizuno Maki and asked:

"What do you want to drink?"

Maki Mizuno put down her schoolbag and sat down at the bar.

"Give me a cup of black tea."

Shiro Kaede paused for a moment, "Black tea?"

He remembered that after activating the 'Cooking Boost' skill, the black tea would have a drowsy effect.

Shiro Shiro didn't dare make the Sleep-Inducing Red Tea for Mizuno Maki, so she could only turn off the 'Cooking Boost' before making it for her.

Before long, a cup of black tea with only three times the deliciousness was placed in front of Mizuno Maki.

Finish these.

Shiro Kaede continued to work.

Seeing him busy, Mizuno Maki suddenly asked:

"Does Kamishiro-kun need my help?"

Kamishiro Shirofumi shook his head and said:

"No need, you're a guest, not an employee. Just sit down."

Maki Mizuno remained silent for a long while, then murmured softly:

"Are they employees at the store?"

Chapter 134 Hojo Kirisa's Subtle Inquiry! Ball Participants!

2024-07-14

Private Shujin Academy.

Student Union Room.

As soon as Chitanda Mirai and Urahara Junko arrived, they noticed that a meeting had just ended inside.

Many teachers and student council members came out of there sighing.

It's clear that nothing good happened just now.

Chitanda Mirai didn't care about any of that. She had Urahara Junko push her wheelchair to the door and gently knocked.

"come in."

After the two went inside.

Hojo Kirisa, who was sitting at the front and busy at work, and Watanabe Hina, who was next to her, immediately looked up at the two of them.

Although Hojo Kirisa's expression remained aloof, she didn't continue with her student council work. Instead, she put down her pen and suggested:

"You've arrived?"

"Come here, I have something I want to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Junko Urahara pushed Mirai Chitanda slowly to Kirisa Hojo's side.

Watanabe Hina knew that the two women were not ordinary people and guessed that they wanted to talk about something private. So she decided not to stay any longer. Instead, she tidied up her things and stood up to leave.

"Chairman Hojo, if there's nothing else, I'll take these documents home and deal with them."

"Hmm." Hojo Kirisa saw that Watanabe Hina was pragmatic, so she did not refuse.

Seeing this, Chitanda Mirai suddenly spoke up, stopping Watanabe Hina who was about to leave:

"Watanabe-senpai, wait a minute."

Watanabe Hina turned to look at her, puzzled:

"Is there something you need, Chitanda-san?"

Chitanda Mirai explained:

"Kamishiro-kun and Mizuno-san are probably already inside the shop."

"And Junko-chan and I will be there later."

"So, Kamishiro-kun was curious and asked if you would also go there or something."

"I'm also curious about this in the future, since we're all from the Literature Department, so I hope we can get together more often."

Watanabe Hina's mental filtering mechanism only heard Kamishiro-kun's question about whether she would go to the store, and instinctively ignored the second half of Chitanda Mirai's words.

Watanabe Hina did not refuse and agreed in a flash:

"Then I'll go there first."

Chitanda Mirai smiled happily:

"Uh-huh."

After nodding, Watanabe Hina carried the documents in her hands and walked briskly down the road.

She wanted to leave school quickly and head to the coffee shop to see Kamishiro-kun.

Hojo Kirisa listened to their conversation and remained silent for a long time.

She turned to look at Chitanda Mirai and subtly probed:

"When will your Literature Department get a second department?"

Chitanda Mirai hadn't expected Hojo Kirisa, who usually didn't care about trivial matters, to ask her this question, but she didn't think much of it and simply replied:

"I just felt that staying at school might be a bit monotonous."

"It just so happens that there's an empty space in Kamishiro-kun's shop, and he doesn't seem to mind, so I'll use that place as my second department in the future."

"Drinking coffee, listening to music, and reading literature feels pretty good too."

Hojo Kirisa frowned and said:

"Is that really all there is to it?"

Chitanda Mirai said with a forced smile:

"Of course."

Hojo Kirisa knew that Chitanda definitely had other motives in the future.

After all, the two of them have known each other since childhood.

It can be said that, apart from Chitanda's future parents, the person who knows the future best is herself.

In the future, we will not do things that are meaningless.

However, Hojo Kirisa wasn't interested in knowing what Chitanda was planning to do in the future.

Anyway, setting up this literature department in the future will probably just be for passing the time and having fun.

More than that, she was concerned about Kamishiro-kun.

Hojo Kirisa lowered her head and continued doing her work, saying without looking up:

"Speaking of which, I remember you saying that the coffee shop's data on paper was not good."

"Based on calculations, it's inevitable that that store will fail and be forced to close down, so there's no point in you setting up this second department."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before Kamishiro's coffee shop goes out of business."

Chitanda Mirai shook her head and smiled:

"After personally inspecting it, I quite like that coffee shop."

"So I won't let this happen in the future."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Hojo Kirisa paused slightly in her writing, but only for a moment, before continuing to work on the documents and getting straight to today's main topic without looking up:

"I came to see you today to talk about the ball that our Hojo family is hosting."

"You and I are both sixteen now, and we both have to go out for social events this year, so we need to find a dance partner to go with us."

"So you've found one?"

Chitanda Mirai suddenly pictured Kamishiro-kun in her mind, and covered her mouth with a slight smile:

"Not yet."

"Or rather, have you found the misty veil?"

After pondering for a moment, Hojo Kirisa nodded and said:

"Ah."

"We have someone in mind for now."

Chitanda Mirai's eyes lit up, and she asked curiously:

"Hey, who's that?"

Hojo Kirisa remained head down, coldly saying:

Why are you asking?

"You'll know then."

"I see." Chitanda Mirai also couldn't guess who Hojo Kirisa would contact, but she didn't press the matter.

She knew Hojo Kirisa's personality.

Even if you press them further, they probably won't tell you.

Hojo Kirisa continued speaking:

"There's something else I wanted to discuss with you today."

“A good American doctor recently came to China, and I’ve already made an appointment with someone.”

"You should take some time to see a doctor."

As she spoke, she handed a document to Chitanda Mirai.
