Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Most employees will choose to go to the break room to rest at this time.

Some employees would chat about their daily lives inside.

Even the foreman would occasionally come in to rest and chat with the employees.

Of course, this is all part of a rotating system.

After resting, it's time to go back to work.

And this happened to be the turn of Shiro Kaede.

He then sat down on a chair in the lounge to rest for a while.

But then he suddenly remembered something and immediately took out his phone to contact Hina Watanabe.

[Kamishiro Hakufu: Is Watanabe-senpai there?]

He sent the message only a few seconds ago.

I received a reply immediately.

[Hina Watanabe: Yes, what's up?]

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: Are you currently in any clubs or groups?]

[Hina Watanabe: Choir.]

[Kamishiro Shirofu: A choir? That certainly suits my senior's temperament. Is she in charge of playing the piano?]

[Hina Watanabe: Hmm, how did you know?]

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: Your profile picture is a piano.]

[Hina Watanabe: Yeah, that's true! Are you interested? If you are, you can check out our club. But you didn't come to ask me about this, did you?]

[Kamishiro Shirokaze: Talking to you, senpai, is so easy. Yes, I came here today to ask if you're planning to join the Literature Club.]

[Hina Watanabe: The Literature Club? I remember that club was disbanded a long time ago, and now it's been reopened?]

[Kamishiro Shirokaze: Yes, a classmate of mine wants to reopen the Literature Club, and they're just one person short. I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining?]

[Hina Watanabe: Did that person contact me first, or did you suggest it?]

[Kamidai Bai Feng: Me. 】

[Hina Watanabe: So you joined the Literature Club too?]

[Kamishiro Shirokaze: Yeah, because it can be treated as an after-school club, there's no requirement to go.]

[Hina Watanabe: I get it, it means being a member of the Ghost Club, right?]

[Kamidai Bai Feng: That’s right. 】

[Hina Watanabe: In that case, I don't have any problem.]

[Kamishiro Shirokaze: OK, then I'll tell that classmate.]

[Hina Watanabe: Hmm.]

Shiro Shiro clicked on Chitanda Mirai's chat window.

[Kamishiro Shirokaze: Watanabe-senpai has agreed to join the Literature Club.]

Chitanda Mirai responded immediately after the message was sent.

[Chitanda Mirai: (*^▽^*) That's wonderful! Thank you so much!]

[Kamidai Bai Feng: It’s okay. 】

[Chitanda Mirai: (*￣︶￣) Now our Literature Club finally has five members! We can finally ask the teacher to restart the club.]

[Kamishiro Shirokaze: Congratulations! But it's highly likely that Watanabe-senpai is also a member of the Ghost Club.]

[Chitanda Mirai: ￣□￣｜｜I see. So that means everyone except Junko-chan is a ghost member?]

[Kamishiro Shirokaze: It's okay, I'll go to the club when I have time. Besides, once the department is up and running, other students will join later. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it's already great to have taken the first step.]

【Chitanda Mirai: ヾ(≧▽≦*)o Yeah, Kamishiro-kun is right, we can keep looking for other students to join the club! Let's go pick out a club room together tomorrow if we're free!】

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: Okay, sure.]

【Chitanda Mirai: o(*^▽^*)┛See you tomorrow.】

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: See you tomorrow.]

Shiro Shiro checked the time and realized that his rest time was almost up.

He then stood up and left the lounge.

I just returned to my post.

He said to Mizuno Maki:

"Mizuno-san, it's your turn to rest."

When Mizuno Maki heard him call her name, she paused for a moment, then nodded at him.

After quickly tidying up his work, he silently went to the break room.

Shiro Shiro took over Mizuno Maki's place and began to get busy.

However, most employees, like Bai Feng, were already proficient at it.

Even when they're not busy, they occasionally chat and joke around.

Even the foreman is the same.

"Manager, when I passed by the shopping street just now, I think I saw a notice posted in front of a takoyaki shop. It looked like it was for sale? I remember that shop only opened a year ago, right?"

"Oh, you mean that shop? It was indeed newly opened a year ago, but I noticed that the business seemed to be not doing well when I passed by a few times. The location was really bad, at the end of the shopping street, with not much foot traffic. After a year, the owner felt that there was no money to be made, so he had no choice but to close the shop with tears in his eyes."

"I also heard that this boss was an entrepreneur, but after all this trouble, he probably can only go back to working for someone else."

"Money isn't that easy to earn. So if you're going to open a shop, remember to choose the location carefully, or you'll end up like this."

"That's true. The coffee shop in front of that takoyaki shop has been on the verge of collapse due to poor customer traffic, and no one dares to take it over. The owner of this takoyaki shop is really stubborn to still open there."

"Sigh, starting a business is really tough!"

Shiro Shiro didn't intend to join their conversation; he simply listened quietly from the side.

soon.

After a busy night.

Today, nothing unusual happened, and it was already ten o'clock.

Since both he and Maki Mizuno were working part-time.

It's only been less than a week since I arrived.

Therefore, during this period, payments are usually made daily.

After all, part-time jobs involve a high degree of job mobility.

Some people only come for a day or two and then stop.

Most short-term part-time jobs are paid daily unless you actively request them.

Only employees who intend to work long-term will choose weekly settlement.

After all, jobs in the catering industry don't pay well and are tiring!

It's nowhere near as profitable as a part-time job at a convenience store.

Many part-time jobs are used as a way to find a better opportunity while still employed; when a better part-time job comes along, they will switch without hesitation.

Therefore, it's normal for liquidity to be higher.

"This is your wages for today. I'll leave tomorrow to you as well."

The foreman said this, and then handed the wages to the two men.

Shirakaze Kamishiro opened it, saw that it contained six thousand yen, and accepted it with satisfaction.

After saying goodbye to the foreman, he walked straight away.

Maki Mizuno also opened it and took a look.

After checking that the amount was correct—five thousand yen—she nodded slightly to bid farewell to the supervisor.

Then, following a few meters behind Shiro Shiro, they headed towards Hibiya subway station, preparing to return to Shibuya.

The distance between the two remained the same as before, not getting much closer.

It's fair to say that aside from work, they have virtually no intention of communicating.

They walked silently through the streets of Hibiya, slowly making their way home.

soon.

Just like yesterday, the two of them arrived at the Shibuya subway station platform.

Bang, bang, bang~

The tram quickly arrived in front of the two.

Just like yesterday, there weren't many seats available today.

The same applies to the position one stands in.

The carriages were fairly crowded.

Shiro Shiro found an empty seat near the door, so he went over and quietly read a book, gaining experience in the student profession.

Meanwhile, Mizuno Maki looked at the fairly crowded carriage.

She glanced at the empty seat next to Shiro Shiro and fell silent for a moment.

She had no choice but to walk over and stand in the corner to the right of Shiro Kaede.

The tram sped along the tracks.
