Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Mizuno Maki comforted herself with these words, and her mood improved slightly.

If some people are unhappy, then naturally some people will be happy.

Upon hearing Shiro Kaede's decisive reply, Sanae Tachikawa immediately broke into a smile.

"So this is ah."

"I thought the two of you were riding the tram together so late because you were going home together after your date."

Shiro Shiro shook his head and said:

"We just happen to go home to the same place and work in the same place, so we're leaving get off work together now."

Tachikawa Sanae smiled and said:

"I see."

As she spoke, she sincerely apologized to Mizuno Maki:

"I'm sorry, Mizuno-san, I misunderstood both of you."

Maki Mizuno, whose mood had improved slightly, felt saddened again. She bit her red lips and shook her head, saying:

"No, it's nothing."

Jindai Bai Feng asked curiously:

"And what about you? How did the three of you end up here?"

Sanae Tachikawa explained:

“Our school is very close to Hibiya Station.”

"It's only a ten-minute walk."

"So after school, we went out to play, and as we were wandering around, we found ourselves at Hibiya Station."

"After walking around for a while, we found a nearby karaoke bar and sang for a long time."

Shiro Kaede picked up the conversation:

"So you were having so much fun singing that you forgot about the time?"

Sanae Tachikawa smiled shyly:

"Yes, it is."

The other two companions also looked shy and embarrassed:

"Haha, I did have some fun just now."

"This is the latest we've played since the start of the semester."

"Exactly, exactly. We almost got caught by the police just now."

Mizuno Maki recalled that she was almost arrested by the police that day, but fortunately, Kamishiro-kun was there, so she escaped.

Otherwise, if I get caught by the police, my job will definitely be ruined.

The school's policy allows students to work part-time.

But students are not allowed to go home that late.

Working until 10 p.m. is actually a very illegal thing to do.

If they find out, they will most likely have to stop working!

Or shorten working hours, so that they have to be home before nine o'clock.

Fortunately, they weren't discovered that day.

Mizuno Maki recalled the scene of Kamishiro-kun holding her hand and walking her home under an umbrella when it was raining that day.

A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she began to reminisce about the feeling at that time. She couldn't help but look up at Shiro Kaede.

However, just as she looked, Mizuno Maki noticed that Kamishiro Hakufu was also looking at her. She immediately looked away shyly and didn't dare to keep looking at him.

I just felt that he must have remembered what happened back then because of Sanae Tachikawa's words.

Kamishiro Shirofumi turned around and said:

"We almost got caught by the police when we were leaving get off work."

After noticing the fleeting shyness in Mizuno Maki's eyes, Tachikawa Sanae narrowed her eyes and asked in confusion:

"is it?"

"So, you and Mizuno almost got arrested by the police that day too, Kamishiro-kun!"

"That's quite a surprise. I'd like to ask when you two started working together?"

Looking back on this incident, Shiro Shiro felt somewhat embarrassed.

Because his predecessor confessed to Maki Mizuno but was rejected when he was about to finish junior high school.

But the two met again in high school.

They were in the same class and even sat nearby.

The job I found after school on the first day of the semester was at the same store.

Even the way home is almost the same!

It was awkward from morning till night!

Fortunately, many boys in junior high school had confessed their feelings to Mizuno Maki.

This might mean she no longer remembers being rejected in the first place.

Jindai Bai Feng smiled helplessly:

“We started working in the same place from the first day of school.”

"At that time, we both happened to be working for the same part-time company, so we ended up working together."

Looking back on those days, Mizuno Maki still feels a bit nostalgic.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for meeting Kamishiro-kun...

She probably won't join the Literature Club now.

They are even less likely to find a job that pays 1500 yen per hour.

They would never know Chitanda Mirai and the others, let alone become good friends with them.

Because at that time, she was definitely still studying hard, focusing only on herself.

Although this is true most of the time now, she has gained a lot during this period at least.

I also know that besides studying, there are actually some more important things.

Tachikawa Sanae was a little stunned.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Could it be that their meeting was also due to fate?

No, I need to do a divination on the two of them later!

Her expression was somewhat serious as she asked earnestly:

"And what about you, Mizuno-san?"

"I remember you said in front of many people when you were in junior high school that you only planned to study hard and not to date before you went to college."

"So now that you're in high school, are you still planning to stay single and focus solely on your studies, just like before?"

Mizuno Maki looked bewildered and dazed, completely unprepared for Tachikawa Sanae to ask her this question.

She couldn't help but glance at Shiro Kaede, wanting to see his reaction.

But when she saw that he was also looking at her, Mizuno Maki's eyes began to flicker, and she became hesitant and nervous. She couldn't help but reply:

"For now, I still plan to focus on my studies."

The moment the words left her mouth, she immediately regretted them!

Why did I say that?

Kamishiro-kun is right beside me!

After hearing that, he'll probably think he's not planning on dating yet, right?

Mizuno Maki couldn't help but immediately glance at Kamishiro Hakufu's expression.

When she noticed that his expression was still the same as before, without any change, Mizuno Maki was somewhat bewildered and confused.

Why.

Why is there no change?

Did he already know he would say that?

Could it be that he wasn't surprised because I said that during my self-introduction on the first day of high school?

That should be the case.

Sanae Tachikawa was very satisfied with Maki Mizuno's answer and smiled:

"I see."

"It seems that Mizuno-san is still the same as he was in junior high school."

"And what about you, Kamishiro-kun? Is your answer the same as last time? You also only plan to focus on your studies?"

Shiro Shiro shrugged and said:

"more or less."

Upon hearing this, the other two accomplices immediately felt it was such a pity!

Such a handsome guy, how come he doesn't plan to date?

What a waste of resources!

If this boy came to their Saint Sakura Girls' Academy.

I'm afraid a ton of girls will scramble to buy it!
