Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"I see." Shiro Shiro put it in his pocket without hesitation and said with a serious face, "Whether it's a gold scroll or not doesn't matter. The main thing is that I like being interviewed. Go ahead and ask."

The cameraman and assistant behind them laughed heartily, finding Shiro Kaede quite amusing.

Whether I continue to act as a Golden Scroll agent or not is irrelevant; what I really enjoy is being interviewed.

You didn't say that just now.

"This gentleman seems to be a very interesting person," Aibe Shino said with a smile. "May I ask your name?"

"Wait, is this a live stream or a pre-recorded video?"

"live streaming."

"Hello everyone in the live stream, my name is Kamishiro Shirokaze, I'm 16 years old, and I'm a high school student!"

"Oh, it's you, Kamishiro-kun. Are you still a student?"

"Yes."

Aibe Shino was somewhat surprised. She had initially thought that Kamishiro Shiro was an adult, since his eyes did look rather mature.

I never expected that he was still a student, or even a first-year high school student?

If that's what he said, it seems to make sense.

After all, Shinobu's appearance is indeed somewhat immature.

But he's incredibly handsome, without a doubt.

"Kamishiro-kun is still a student, right? He's working part-time at Ichiran Ramen, isn't he?"

"Correct!"

Why did you choose to work part-time at Ichiran Ramen? Is there something particularly attractive about it?

"some."

"Oh, what is that?" As the interview returned to the main topic, Aibe Shino's mood gradually brightened, and she asked happily.

Is there some very important reason?

"Could it be that you're planning to learn how to make ramen like some ramen master in Tokyo, starting from high school, and then one day open your own ramen shop?"

"The supervisor is in the store, so I can't speak loudly. Come closer, and I'll tell you quietly." Shiro Shiro waved her hand gently, gesturing for her to come closer.

Aibe Shino blinked her beautiful eyes, wondering why he seemed so mysterious.

However, seeing that Shiro Shiro looked very serious, she decided to trust him this once and then leaned her head slightly to the side.

"Kamishiro Shirokaze whispered in her ear."

“Because the part-time jobs in this thousand-year-old shopping street only pay 800 yen an hour at most, but the shop manager here offered us 1000 yen an hour, which is 200 yen more. Do you think we can just not work here?”

"I'm telling you quietly, don't you dare play this video out, or the store manager will come after me later."

Upon hearing this, Aibe Shino couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She thought it was something important.

They make it so mysterious, you have to put your ear close to hear it.

Who would have thought you'd say it's just because the part-time job here pays 200 yen more per hour than elsewhere?

She was so expectant, wondering what compelling reason she might have, and this is what she got?

It was clearly a very serious program in the live broadcast room, and the people interviewed before were all very serious.

Why does the atmosphere of conversation seem to change so strange when we encounter this Shinobi Kaede?

However, it's quite interesting; Aibe Shino doesn't dislike chatting with interesting people.

Aibe Shino continued with a smile, asking, "I see. Kamishiro-kun is quite an interesting person. Indeed, salary is a very important factor when choosing a job."

"So, in your daily work, what's your favorite part? Are there any moments that give you a particular sense of accomplishment?"

"Yes, of course!" Kamishiro Shiro nodded.

"Oh? What is that?" Aibe Shino's beautiful eyes lit up, very curious about what he would say.

"You ask me about my favorite part and the moment I feel most accomplished? It's definitely when I get off work and enjoy a refreshing drink."

Aibe Shino chuckled and said, "Haha, drinking soda after get off work is definitely a happy thing, and I do it sometimes too."

"After having a glass, I feel much less tired at work."

"In your current ramen business, what is something that people don't know much about, but that you find interesting or important?"

Without hesitation, Shiro Kaede said, "Ramen doesn't taste good if it's soaked for too long."

The photographers and assistants behind them laughed when they heard this.

They also found Shiro Kaede, whom they interviewed, to be unexpectedly interesting.

Compared to the previous rigid office workers, this kind of person's words are more likely to make everyone happy.

Aibe Shino smiled slightly, covering her red lips, and also found Shinjiro Shirokaze's words quite witty.

"During your time working part-time, were there any social issues that you felt deserved attention or support?"

Aibe Shino didn't interrupt his thoughts, eagerly anticipating what kind of reply he would give.

Shiro Kaede said earnestly, "The wages for high school students working part-time are too low. I suggest raising them a bit!"

"Haha, that's true. When I was working in high school, I also felt that this was a very worthwhile topic to explore."

Suddenly, Shino Aibe asked curiously, "Kamishiro-kun, you're a high school student now, right? So which school do you attend?"

"Private Xiujin Academy".

"Oh?" Aibe Shino was somewhat surprised and quite taken aback.

Is this the school?

She remembered that she was also going to the school for an interview on Friday.

Aibe Shino asked, "So what is your dream now?"

With a serious expression, Shiro Kaede said, "Study hard and get into a good university!"

"Huh, is that so?" Aibe Shino was somewhat surprised.

Is it strange that my dream is to get into a good university?

“No, that’s not it,” Shino Aibeh explained. “I was just thinking that with your good looks, you’d be perfect as a model or a star.”

"I have no interest in those."

"Since you want to get into a good university, which universities are you targeting?"

"Universities like the University of Tokyo, Waseda University, and Kyoto University."

"These schools have very high deviation scores. If your goal is to go to these schools, then your grades must be very good right now, right?"

"It's really not bad."

"Oh?" Aibe Shino's beautiful eyes lit up again.

She hadn't expected that not only was Shindai Shirokaze so handsome, but he also had excellent grades.

"So what is your overall grade now?"

"C!"

Aibe Shino was stunned for a long time. After she came to her senses, she couldn't hold back anymore and looked at Kamishiro Shiro with a smile, hands on her hips.

He even said that his grades were pretty good.

You consider a grade of C to be pretty good?

To get into a school like the University of Tokyo, you need at least an A+ grade!

Aibe Shino smiled and said, "Haha, Kamishiro-kun is surprisingly a very humorous and witty student."

"I don't think so. My homeroom teacher always praises me for being honest at school, and I also think I'm quite honest."

Xiangbe Shino couldn't hold himself any longer.

Still being honest?

This has absolutely nothing to do with you, okay?

Aibe Shino asked, "Kamishiro-kun, you're so handsome, do you already have a girlfriend?"

"No, no!" Shiro Shiro shook his head.

Aibe Shino looked on incredulously: "Huh? Really?"

"real!"

"I see. That's actually quite good. If you don't date, you can focus on studying."

"Right, right, you know what I mean, right? High school is the time to focus on your studies!"

Aibe Shino was slightly taken aback, then chuckled: "Hahaha, you're right."

"Then I would like to congratulate you on getting into a good university."

"Thank you!" Shiro Shiro checked the time and realized that two minutes had passed since the interview began.

I know it's time to go back to work.

"If there are no other questions, I need to get back to work."

Upon hearing this, Aibe Shino knew he shouldn't ask any further questions.

Since Shiro Kaede has said these words, he probably means he intends to stop the interview.

She could still tell that.

Aibe Shino smiled and apologized, "I'm sorry to have disturbed your work."

"Well then, Kamishiro-kun, good luck with your part-time job!"

"We'll take our leave now, and see you again someday."

"Well, see you again sometime!" Shiro Shiro waved.
