Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Class B's classroom is right next door.

It's just a few steps away.

They've been chatting for quite a while now, so Erina has probably been waiting at the door for a while.

Seeing this, Chitanda Mirai waved to Erina.

Erina glanced at Bai Feng, and after he nodded, she walked over very politely.

Chitanda Mirai smiled and said:

"I've already heard about what happened from Kamishiro-kun."

"Kamishiro-kun and Mizuno-san have to go to the shop to get busy later."

"Erina-chan, why don't you ride with me and Junko to the coffee shop later?"

"By the way, Watanabe-senpai will also be traveling with us later."

After thinking about it, Erina Kamishiro also felt that Shirakaze Kamishiro had to go to work later, so it was best not to go and disturb him.

And since Chitanda Mirai, the head of the Literature Club, has said so, it would be better to go with her later.

That way, it won't seem like I rushed over too hastily, which could lead to awkwardness or anything like that.

So she nodded in agreement:

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Chitanda Mirai winked at Bai Feng.

It seems to mean giving him ample time to go to the store and explain the situation to others.

Shiro Kaede understood her meaning, nodded slightly in gratitude, and then said:

"Then it's decided."

"Mizuno-san and I went to work first."

"Erina, why don't you chat with Chitanda-san and Urahara-san for a while?"

"I remember you said you wanted to write a novel, Erina, and now it just so happens."

Erina Kamishiro slapped her forehead, then suddenly realized:

"I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."

"Chitanda-san, please teach me how to write a novel."

Chitanda Mirai blinked, not quite understanding what was going on, and asked:

"You want to write a novel?"

Erina Kamishiro nodded frantically:

"Uh-huh!"

I want to win an award!

Seeing that the two women had started chatting, Shiro Shiro didn't say anything more and left with Mizuno Maki.

He had just stepped outside.

The two of them also encountered Shiina Shoko and Maejima Rika.

Rika Maejima greeted him with a smile:

Good afternoon, Kamishiro-kun!

Shiina Shoko hesitated and said:

Good afternoon, Kamishiro-kun.

"Xiangzi came to work today too."

"Good afternoon." Shiro Shiro first responded to their greetings, then looked at Shiina Shoko with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad. I originally thought I would have to come to see you in person today, but I didn't expect you to be so conscientious today, Shoko. I'll give you a thumbs up!"

Upon hearing this, Shiina Shoko immediately burst into laughter:

"Hehe~ Even if Kamishiro-kun praises Xiangzi like that, I still won't be happy at all."

Today, however, Rika Maejima didn't look at Maki Mizuno with the same meaningful gaze as she had yesterday.

This morning she heard that the rumors about Mizuno Maki and Kamishiro Hakufu being a couple had been debunked.

Although she knew that Shiro Shiro didn't have a girlfriend.

But when she heard that Mizuno Maki and Kamishiro Hakukaze would go home together at night, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But after hearing that the students in Class A had personally asked Shiro Kaede and learned that the matter was just a rumor, she finally felt relieved.

Rika Maejima smiled and said:

"Rika, I'm just here to say hello. I won't disturb you two, Kamishiro-kun and Mizuno-san, as you go to work."

"Then I'll go first."

With that, Rika Maejima waved happily and left.

This time, however, it was Mizuno Maki who looked at Maejima Rika's back with some displeasure.

If she remembered correctly.

This girl has already been rejected by Kamishiro-kun, right?

Why do you still come over to say hello?

It looks like she still likes Kamishiro-kun.

But how exactly does Kamishiro-kun view Maejima Rika now?

After all, didn't I say before that I would keep a distance from Rika Maejima?

Why does it seem like people aren't saying that anymore?

Could it be that Kamishiro-kun actually has some feelings for Maejima Rika?

But if that's the case, then the two of them haven't had much contact.

Could it be that I'm just overthinking things?

Did Maejima Rika just come over to say hello?

I can't figure it out

Seeing that everyone was present, Shiro Kaede suggested:

"Let's go now that everyone's here."

As he spoke, he walked ahead.

Meanwhile, Shiina Shoko secretly stuck to his back.

Seeing the two of them still walking so close, Mizuno Maki knew that Shiina Shoko was doing this because of her social anxiety.

Even so, Mizuno Maki felt a little envious of Shiina Shoko.

After all, apart from Shiina Shoko and her younger sister Erina Kamishiro, she had never seen Kamishiro Hakufu allow other girls to get so close to him without a reason.

Seeing Shiina Shoko so openly clinging to Kamishiro Hakukaze, Mizuno Maki wondered if she should also try a little harder—

The entrance to the coffee shop.

There were still people queuing.

As soon as Shiro Kaede walked over, he was once again complained to by customers about whether he could open the shop earlier, but he brushed them off.

Instead of listening to the customers' inquiries, his gaze fell on the building to the side.

For some reason, the construction workers were already packing up to leave work.

Isn't it just past four o'clock now?

Is it a bit early to leave work at this time?

Although Shiro Kaede felt it was a bit strange, after thinking about it, she also thought it was quite good.

Since his coffee shop opens at five o'clock, it wouldn't be good if he heard construction noises coming from the side.

Subsequently.

To avoid trouble, Shiro Shiro led Mizuno Maki and the others directly into the coffee shop through the back door today.

After coming in.

He discovered that Kurosaki Kozakawa, Kurosaki Kouyo, and Nagasawa Yui were already inside the store, all playing on their phones.

Upon seeing him, Nagasawa Yui immediately exclaimed with delight:

"You're here! Let's hurry to work and get off work so we can go see the cherry blossoms!"

Shiina Shoko was stunned:

"See cherry blossoms? What cherry blossoms?"

Yui Nagasawa was bewildered and said:

"Oh right, you don't know Xiangzi?"

As she spoke, she offered a brief explanation.

Upon hearing this, Shiina Shoko immediately burst into tears:

"Waaaah~ So everyone's going to see the cherry blossoms!"

Shiro Kaede had actually forgotten to tell Shiina Shoko, and explained helplessly:

"Actually, I planned to go yesterday."

"But suddenly it changed to today."

"Xiangzi, you've only just arrived, and the shop is still so busy, that's why I haven't had much time to talk to you."

Maki Mizuno nodded and said:

"Yes."

"If you want to go too, Xiangzi, let's go to Ueno Park together after get off work."
