Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"How about we go to your place now and destroy the contract?"

Kawai Kana looked troubled, finally sighed deeply, and whispered:

"I only told you this because I think you are honest and hardworking, and willing to keep working hard to run the store."

“I would never say this to other slackers.”

"So you absolutely, absolutely, absolutely must not tell them about this. If they do, I'll be in big trouble."

The takoyaki shop owner's lips curled into a slight, secret smile, but he quickly agreed with a sincere expression:

"Of course not, do I look like that kind of person?"

“Of course, I have complete faith in your character, boss.” Kawai Kana nodded. “Then deposit the money into your bank card and bring it to the office tomorrow. I’ll immediately apply to headquarters to cancel the contract for you.”

Hearing the takoyaki shop owner's enthusiastic reply, Kawai Kana was overjoyed.

She didn't care whether the takoyaki owner would tell other merchants.

Rather, it would be best if he told the other merchants.

After all, that way, she wouldn't need to expose her needs, and she could even get those business owners to voluntarily come and pay the remaining rent for her.

They also asked her to cancel the contract.

I've exceeded expectations, so I imagine headquarters should be quite satisfied with the result.

Thank you to Anhua Piaoluojin for the generous donation.

Chapter 145 Mizuno Maki: Kamishiro-kun, don't listen to her, I don't have a boyfriend!

2024-07-14

"Then I'll go raise the money right now." After saying this, the takoyaki owner immediately closed the shop and left.

Kana Kawai didn't say much.

Anyway, she felt that by doing this, she was actually benefiting the takoyaki shop owner.

After all, if this hadn't happened, he probably would have just stayed here sighing every day.

Not only did it waste three years, but it also required paying 20 yen in rent to the shopping street every month.

Now that he only needs to pay for eight months, it must be a much lighter burden for him.

Subsequently.

Kana Kawai pushed open the door of the coffee shop and went inside.

"welcome."

"Let me find you a seat."

Mizuno Maki stepped forward and greeted Kawai Kana.

"I can do it myself." Kawai Kana shook her head, then looked up at Kamishiro Shirofumi's side.

I noticed he was busy.

The few office workers at the bar had just left the store.

She chose one of the empty seats and sat down, then pushed the key to Shiro Kaede:

"Kamishiro-kun, here is your key."

"I'm so sorry, I was a bit busy yesterday and forgot."

"I only remembered it today."

"It's nothing." Shiro Shiro wasn't too concerned about such trivial matters. He took it and handed it to Nagasawa Yui, who was standing to the side, looking somewhat excited. "Here, take it."

"Hehe." Nagasawa Yui happily took the key, carefully examining and feeling it in her palm.

Knowing that he had troubled her with delivering the furniture yesterday, Shiro Kaede said, "Miss Kawai, what would you like to order today? It's on me."

Kana Kawai smiled and said, "Thank you. Then I'll have a matcha latte and a strawberry cake, please."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Shiro Shiro also began preparing the matcha latte.

Meanwhile, Maki Mizuno was cutting a strawberry cake.

Looking at Mizuno Maki, Kawai Kana couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how pretty the girl was.

Moreover, both he and Kamishiro-kun were wearing the school uniform of the private Shujin Academy.

Are we still working together?

Is she Kamishiro's girlfriend?

Are they here to help?

Kana Kawai asked:

"Is that waitress, Kamishiro-kun, your girlfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Mizuno Maki froze on the spot, but she made no attempt to deny it. Instead, she secretly glanced at Kamishiro Shirokaze.

Yui Nagasawa, who was collecting money nearby, was also taken aback by Kana Kawai's sudden remark. She immediately became flustered and rushed over to deny it.

"She's not my girlfriend!"

"She's just a part-time job that Kamishiro-kun found at school!"

"The two are classmates and members of the literature club, so don't get the wrong idea!"

"What if Mizuno-san has a boyfriend, and he finds out about it?"

Kana Kawai looked at Maki Mizuno somewhat embarrassed and apologized:

"So this is ah."

"I'm so sorry."

"I just saw you wearing the uniform of the private Shujin Academy and helping out at the store, so I thought you were Kamishiro-kun's girlfriend."

"I didn't realize you already had a boyfriend."

"No, I don't have a boyfriend!" Mizuno Maki panicked and quickly denied it while watching Kamishiro Shiro's reaction.

Shiro Shiro's expression didn't change much; he simply looked at Kana Kawai and explained with a smile:

"I don't have a girlfriend."

"Mizuno-san is just my classmate."

"It just so happened that the store needed a part-time worker recently, so we asked her to come and help out."

Listening to Kamishiro Shirofumi's explanation.

The three of them showed different changes in their expressions.

Yui Nagasawa breathed a sigh of relief.

Maki Mizuno looked somewhat somber.

Kana Kawai slapped her forehead, then remembered something and asked:

"Now that you mention it, I remember when you interviewed Aibe Shino before."

"I said I just wanted to focus on studying lately."

"But you're quite good-looking too, Kamishiro-kun."

"You really don't plan to find a girlfriend during your three years of high school?"

Both Mizuno Maki and Nagasawa Yui secretly watched Kamishiro Shirokaze, curious about his answer.

Shirofumi didn't make any absolute statements:

"If I'm not busy and the right opportunity arises, yes."

Kana Kawai asked with great interest:

"By the way, what were your criteria for choosing a partner, Kamishiro-kun?"

Can I tell my sister?

After pondering for a while, Shiro Kaede said:

"I don't have any requirements."

"As long as we like each other, that's enough."

Yui Nagasawa murmured softly, "Do we click?"

Maki Mizuno bit her red lips slightly, as if she was remembering something.

Kana Kawai said doubtfully:

"Ok?"

"Mutual attraction is a standard that sounds quite ordinary."

"But it seems quite tall, doesn't it?"

Jindai Bai Feng said lightly:

"Maybe so."

"Your matcha latte."

Just as the conversation reached this point, the matcha latte in his hand was ready, and he handed it to Kawai Kana.

Lost in her memories, Mizuno Maki snapped out of her daze upon seeing this scene. She hurriedly handed the strawberry cake to Kawai Kana in a flustered manner.

"Your strawberry cake."

"Thank you." Kawai Kana accepted it from her side.

Looking at Mizuno Maki's part-time job, she curiously asked Kamishiro Shirokaze:

"Kamishiro-kun, what's the hourly rate for part-time work here again?"

“1000 yen.” After replying, Shiro Kaede turned to look at Mizuno Maki and winked.

"Huh?" Mizuno Maki was taken aback, then her face turned slightly red.
