Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"I will carefully consider the issue of an appointment system."

"Mm." Chitanda Mirai smiled happily, knowing that Kamishiro-kun wouldn't agree immediately.

But it's enough to just give him that idea.

The rest is just a matter of time.

As long as Kamishiro-kun agrees at that time.

Then she can move on to the next step of her plan.

Ask some of Kamishiro's family members to come and help out at her shop.

With their skills, even if they can't make it as delicious as Shiro Kaede, they can certainly maintain a stable business.

Then he won't have to be busy in the store every day, and he'll be able to free up his time to do other things.

I can invite Kamishiro-kun out to play more often now.

"We can consider the appointment system later, but in the meantime, we still need to hire part-time staff," Yui Nagasawa reminded them.

Although Mizuno Maki didn't say anything, she felt that with the store getting busier and busier, it was indeed time to hire more people.

“Indeed!” Shiro Shiro nodded. “If it doesn’t work, I’ll find some acquaintances to come and help out.”

Chitanda Mirai paused, stunned:

"Are you suggesting I call your sister over?"

Thinking of Erina's situation, Shiro Shiro couldn't help but smile knowingly, and said helplessly:

"Her."

"I've been busy studying lately."

"But if we really can't find anyone else, we'll have to call her."

Chitanda Mirai pondered:

"Busy studying."

Maki Mizuno asked curiously:

"So, who are you planning to find, Kamishiro-kun?"

Kamidai Bai Feng explained:

"Shiina Shoko's mother owns a chain of coffee shops."

"You must know quite a few baristas."

"So I'd like to ask her to recruit some people from the industry to work here long-term."

Chitanda Mirai was stunned for a moment, then puffed up her cheeks, very unhappy that other strangers had come into her territory.

But that's right.

He's always short-staffed in his shop, so he'll definitely consider other ways to hire more people.

It seems that it can no longer be suppressed.

But it doesn't matter, as long as I can get my family to come and help before those people arrive.

Chitanda Mirai wanted to find out the situation first, and suggested with a smile:

"Why don't you ask him now, Kamishiro-kun?"

"The sooner we arrive, the sooner we can help."

"If that doesn't work, we can consider other solutions as soon as possible."

Seeing that he wasn't as busy now, Shiro Shiro nodded and said:

"Ah."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and started sending messages to Shiina Shoko.

[Kamishiro Hakufu: Are you there?]

He received a reply to his message very quickly.

[Shiina Shoko: (`) Yes, what's up?]

Shiro Kaede then informed her about the situation at the store.

[Shiina Shoko: (￣^￣)ゞ The shop is short-staffed, so you want to hire people from the industry, right? Shoko understands. Mom's right here, I'll talk to her right now!]

[Kamishiro Hakufeng: Thank you for your help.]

At Shiina Shoko's home.

Her mother, Arisa Shiina, was overjoyed upon hearing the news.

For her, finding a few people to help out at Shiro Kaede's shop was an incredibly easy task.

But she didn't intend to do that.

Doesn't Xiangzi like Kamishiro-kun?

Isn't this the opportunity that's presented itself?

Why not just send Xiangzi over to help?

Anyway, Xiangzi will inherit the family coffee shop in the future.

Sooner or later, I'll have to go out for an internship.

As for social anxiety, we can take advantage of this incident to have Xiangzi act as a contact point.

With Shindai-kun watching over things, there shouldn't be any problems.

Working together with Shirafumi Kamishiro, they might develop feelings for each other over time!

Hey, I, as her own mother, am really worrying myself sick over my daughter.

So Shiina Arisa said to Shoko:

"Xiangzi, tell Kamishiro-kun that the recruitment won't happen so quickly."

"Most baristas in the industry have a fixed place to work and rarely change jobs casually."

"But I'll also ask around for him."

"But if he urgently needs help, then you should go and assist him!"

Shiina Shoko paused, then exclaimed in horror:

"Hey, eh, eh~"

"I'm going to Kamishiro-kun's coffee shop?!"

"No, no, no!!!"

"I definitely can't do it!"

ヽ（＞﹏＜）

Shiina Arisa looked at her silly daughter with annoyance, thinking, "I gave you a chance, but you're useless." She directly complained:

"Even if you don't go for your internship now, I'll still send you out for an internship during your vacation."

"Either you go work at another coffee shop with strangers, or you go work at Kamishiro-kun's coffee shop. You choose!"

Shiina Shoko sobbed:

"mom"

"I'm afraid."

Shiina Arisa knew that without putting some pressure on her, this girl would definitely not go, so she glared at her directly:

"Calling me 'Mom' won't help!"

"Choose quickly!"

"Let me tell you, if you go to Kamishiro-kun's shop, he can take care of you."

"But the baristas at my coffee shops won't put up with you!"

"Besides, don't you like Kamishiro-kun?"

"Isn't now a perfect opportunity?"

Shiina Shoko froze for a moment, then her face turned bright red, and she stammered a denial:

"I...I...I don't like...Kamishiro-kun at all!"

Shiina Arisa rolled her eyes at her and said helplessly:

"Okay, if you're not going, I'll find someone else to go."

"Since you don't like Kamishiro-kun anyway, I'll just find a pretty single lady to go with him."

"Don't cry when they start dating."

Upon hearing this, Shiina Shoko immediately panicked and frantically shook her mother:

"I...I didn't say I wasn't going."

"I'll go. I'll go, okay?"

Shiina Arisa's lips curled slightly upwards. She thought to herself, "Treating a little brat like you is a piece of cake." She snorted.

"That's fine."

"Remember to do it well."

"If you don't understand, just ask Kamishiro-kun."

"Also, invite him over for meals more often."

"Do you know?"

Shiina Shoko's cheeks, framed by her long bangs, flushed crimson as she nodded gently.

"Um"

She picked up her phone and nervously and shyly sent a message.
