Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Upon feeling that gaze, her desire to back down vanished, and she could only whine inwardly, thinking that she would probably never be able to escape Kamishiro-kun's clutches again.

(﹏)

After receiving their wages, Kurosaki Kozakawa and Koyuki Koyuki's expressions remained unchanged.

Xiao Zuo: "Is this the result of hard work? Is this the taste of money? It's so delicious! I'm going to use this money to slap those guys in the face when I get back!"

Xiao You: "I'm so touched. I've decided that when I get home, I'm going to spend all my money on Amazon and show off to those guys!"

Shiro Kaede didn't intend to comment on other people's spending, but simply inquired:

"You two did a good job today."

"Remember to come again tomorrow."

"Also, if you can't come on a particular day, please let me know in advance."

Kurosaki Kozakawa and Koyuki Koyuki suddenly remembered something and quickly took out their phones.

Xiao Zuo: "In that case, let's contact each other on LINE if anything comes up!"

Xiao You: "That's true. After all, we girls sometimes encounter a lot of unusual situations, and it's impossible for us to come to the scene to ask for leave~"

Shiro Kaede knew that it was more convenient to communicate by phone, so she did not refuse and exchanged LINE accounts with the two of them.

Seeing this, Mizuno Maki was immediately bewildered.

How come they all added each other on LINE so naturally?

However, now is indeed an opportunity.

If she doesn't seize the opportunity, she doesn't know when she'll be able to add Kamishiro-kun on LINE.

Thinking of this, Mizuno Maki shyly took out her phone and went forward to ask:

"Um, Kamishiro-kun, me too."

Shiro Shiro paused for a moment before nodding and saying:

"it is good."

As he spoke, he also added Mizuno Maki's LINE account.

Yui Nagasawa asked, puzzled:

"By the way, Kamishiro-kun, it's been so long, haven't you added Mizuno-san on LINE yet?"

"I thought you guys had already added it."

"After all, we're all members of the same literature department."

Upon hearing this, Mizuno Maki fell silent, not daring to speak, and secretly glanced at Kamishiro Shirokaze.

Shiro Kaede didn't explicitly state the reason, but simply changed the subject:

"forget."

Yui Nagasawa blinked:

"forget?"

"Oh right, I forgot to add Mizuno-senpai on LINE!"

"Come on, let's have one together, senior!"

Shindai Bai Feng: "."

Maki Mizuno: "."

Shiina Shoko, standing to the side, seemed somewhat eager, and stammered shyly:

"Maki-chan, Kozakawa, Koyuki, Nagasawa-senpai, I... I also want to add you as friends."

Her words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Mizuno Maki breathed a sigh of relief, but her face still showed a mixture of shyness and happiness.

After all, she finally got Kamishiro-kun's LINE today.

After that, the two were finally able to chat.

Because of Nagasawa Yui's question, she didn't dare to look at Bai Feng. Instead, she immediately moved closer to Shiina Shoko and they added each other as friends.

-

After closing time.

Yui Nagasawa took the money to the bank to deposit, so she didn't drive Shirafumi home.

Xiao Zuo and Xiao You, having heard that she lived nearby, decided to take Shiina Shoko home, seeing how weak she looked.

So tonight, Shiro Kaede and Mizuno Maki went home together as usual.

After walking for a while.

The two boarded the tram.

Since it was already late, there were plenty of seats on the tram.

Shiro Shiro found a seat and sat down.

Maki Mizuno hesitated for only a moment before sitting down next to him.

The two of them tacitly took out books from their bags and started reading.

Bang, bang, bang~

The scenery outside the window slowly disappeared into the distance.

The tram sped along the tracks.

Although Mizuno Maki was looking at the book in her hand, the meaningful look that Maejima Rika had given her earlier kept replaying in her mind.

Did that girl find out about her relationship with Kamishiro-kun?

That's why you're looking at yourself like that?

It shouldn't be.

After all, when Kamishiro confessed to her, there weren't many people around.

Therefore, tracing the source is extremely difficult.

If that's the case, then why is Rika Maejima looking at me like that?

I can't figure it out

But compared to this matter...

What she cared more about was why Kamishiro-kun would directly call Maejima Rika "Rika".

And Shiina Shoko is also one.

Maki Mizuno was very concerned about this matter; she had actually been struggling with it for a long time tonight.

I've been wanting to ask Kamishiro-kun about this for a long time.

But with so many people in the store, including other acquaintances, I just couldn't bring myself to ask.

But now the two are alone.

Mizuno Maki hesitated for a moment, glancing at Kamishiro Shirokaze beside her. She bit her lip and stammered, "..."

"Kamidai-kun"

"Um, can I ask you a question?"

Shiro Shiro turned to look at her, and asked in confusion:

"what is the problem?"

Maki Mizuno's eyes flickered slightly:

"Um... you... are you still planning to hire part-time workers?"

After saying this, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, wondering why she just couldn't bring herself to ask.

After thinking for a while, Shiro Shiro shook his head and said:

"Not for now."

"I feel like we have just the right number of people right now."

"What, are you planning to introduce a part-time worker here?"

Maki Mizuno quickly denied it:

"No, no, no."

"I just feel that if someone takes leave, there might be a sudden shortage of manpower or something."

Shirokaze paused, then pondered:

"Indeed."

"Yui-nee might not be able to come every day. Perhaps instead of a part-time job, we'll need to find one or two people who work regular hours?"

Just as Bai Feng was deep in thought.

Maki Mizuno finally couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly changed the subject, asking:

"Kamishiro-kun, why did you suddenly call out the names of Maejima Rika and Shiina Shoko?"

After saying it, she nervously swallowed, her eyes filled with a mixture of panic and anticipation.

Shiro Kaede was taken aback by her sudden question and remained silent for a moment before replying:

“After visiting Xiangzi’s house, her mother felt that we were good friends and that our way of addressing each other was too formal, so she suggested that we just call each other by our names.”

Maki Mizuno breathed a sigh of relief, but recalling her impulsive question, she immediately looked away shyly.

"So this is ah."

She wanted to say something to change the subject.

But at that moment, for some reason, my mind just wouldn't process it, and I couldn't say anything.

Maki Mizuno could only nervously lower her head and continue looking at the book in her hands.
