Living in Tokyo, all I want to do is laze around.

Kai Uesugi scrolled through the list of professions, selecting one by one.

"These are all full-time employees, right?" Totsuka Katsura said after glancing at his computer screen. "You still have to go to school and don't have time. How about looking at supermarket clerks or something?"

That is indeed true.

Kai Uesugi was too busy looking for jobs that fit her monthly expenses.

I didn't even notice whether it was a full-time job or not.

He clicked on the category "Temporary Workers" at the top of the webpage.

【7天便利店营业员】：【时薪800】【工作排班】【东京足立区西新井11-5-3】

This won't work; the place is too far.

After one round of inspections, only three stores met Uesugi Kai's standards.

One is a revenue clerk at FamilyMart, another is a laborer who helps unload goods at night, and the third is a mascot on the street to attract customers to maid cafes.

These three... all earn less than 1,000 yen per hour, and after a day's work... they're barely enough to buy him meat... but Uesugi Kai has no choice.

Jobs like these are highly sought after; so many people come to Tokyo to make a living that they might be gone the very next day.

Only this kind of job suits a college student like him who doesn't have much time.

After sending out the resume he had just created, Uesugi Kai closed the webpage.

Totsuka Katsura sat down next to him and took out her laptop. "Why did you suddenly decide to go get a part-time job?"

"Alas, life forces us to do this."

"Forced by circumstances? Even if you don't have a job... your wife seems to be that popular illustrator on Twitter, right? Illustrators make a lot of money, you can ask her for some."

Kai Uesugi shook his head: "It's a long story."

"It's a long story? Oh, I get it," Totsuka Katsura said with a sudden realization. "You're a man, so you feel embarrassed to be kept by your wife, right? That's why you thought of secretly going out to work."

"Tsk, let me think about what might happen next... You work as a cashier at a convenience store, and then your wife comes in to buy something. When you say 'Welcome, customer,' you look up and see your wife's surprised expression... In the end, naturally, she will tame your pride and make you her kept woman."

Kai Uesugi glanced at him. "My wife isn't like that."

"Haha, just kidding. Hey, can you vote for me too? I'm short on money lately and want to do some odd jobs."

"You need to make a resume first."

“I have the resumes for part-time jobs. I’ll send them to you. You can submit them to those three companies for me.”

“Okay then,” Uesugi Kai replied.

Life at the University of Tokyo was still uneventful, so Uesugi Kai paid more attention to physical education classes.

The girls in the class gathered around him, peeking at his running movements on the track, and occasionally teasing each other.

"Oh dear, what are you saying? She's already married."

"Being married doesn't mean you don't have a chance."

"maybe..."

Several girls surrounded the girl in the middle and soon burst into laughter.

When Totsuka Katsura and Kiyosaki Takeshi got tired of running, they sat on the outskirts of the track and watched Uesugi Kai's running performance.

My head turned in the direction he kept moving.

"What... lap is it now?" The sweat on his forehead had already been dried by the wind.

"21."

"Wow, Uesugi can run like that!? One lap is 400 meters, that's... let me do the math," Totsuka Katsura said, taking out her phone, tapping a few times, and looking at the 8400 on the screen, "That's eight kilometers!"

Kiyosatake nudged Totsuka Katsura's arm and glanced at the girls gathered around. "Totsuka, those girls seemed to be staring at you the whole time, and their smiles were... kind of weird."

"Hey, haven't you seen enough of Uesugi? You know him... I'm not going to say anything more. I think the reason we didn't get any girlfriends at the social gathering the other day was probably because we were with Uesugi."

Kiyosaki Takeshi asked, puzzled, "This is...?"

Totsuka Katsura suddenly lowered her voice, "Also, not to be rude, but the girls at Tokyo University aren't very pretty. They're nowhere near as good as the girls at the neighboring art university."

"...Don't let them hear you say that."

"hey-hey."

Kiyosaki Takeshi asked about the question he had just heard about Uesugi.

“Tsk, handsomeness needs to be highlighted, and we are…” Totsuka Katsura raised her hands to show herself, “You understand now?”

"..."

"He's the only handsome guy at Tokyo University, so it's understandable that the girls all cast their eyes at him." Totsuka Katsura said, becoming more and more dejected. "Tsk, why didn't I have such a handsome face... And... why do I think Uesugi is even a tiny bit more handsome than when he first came here? He was already handsome, how could he get any more handsome?"

"Perhaps it's because of the marriage..."

You have received a new message.

Stamina Lv7 increased to Lv8

[Charm level upgraded from Lv10 to Lv11]

Can this charm level be increased to 11?

Kai Uesugi let the message pass through his mind and continued to unleash his youthful energy on the crimson track.

Sweat streamed down his forehead, and his strong muscles propelled his running shoes, sending gusts of wind whistling past his ears.

Nine and a half days left!

Nine and a half days left!

I'll be able to see my wife in nine and a half days!

"Speaking of which, Kiyosa, why do you call Uesugi-senpai? We're in the same class."

"Senior is our archery club's advisor, Totsuka, have you forgotten his title?"

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot. This guy is a national archery champion, the national kendo champion, and a student at Tokyo University. Although he likes to slack off, he's so handsome..."

Totsuka Katsurachi grew increasingly angry as she thought about it.

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

The phone he was holding suddenly rang.

Kiyosaki Takeshi reminded him, "Totsuka, news."

"This is Uesugi's phone."

Totsuka Katsura picked up her phone to check.

Kai Uesugi's phone was unlocked, and the lock screen used Hanamaru Hanabi as the cover image.

When Totsuka Katsura saw the cute girl on the cover, she couldn't help but sigh again:

"Why don't I have a wife?"

After unlocking the screen, he saw the text message that Uesugi had received.

These were sent by the three companies that Uesugi had applied to this morning.

"What is it?" Kiyosatake asked curiously.

"The job Uesugi found..." Totsuka Katsura frowned and glanced at it, "Um... he got it all... How can he treat people like this just to find a job!?"

###Chapter 416 The Beginning of Forced Labor###

"hu~hu~"

Exhaling hot breath continuously, Uesugi Kai, feeling deeply exhausted, stopped walking.

The long run made his body feel tired and sore, and he even felt like he couldn't hold on any longer.

Cells need oxygen, and exercise accelerates oxygen consumption. Over time, breathing cannot provide enough oxygen to the cells, and the cells will switch to anaerobic respiration. The lactic acid produced by anaerobic respiration will cause the body to feel sore.

At the same time, insufficient oxygen supply to the brain from the blood causes blurred vision and dizziness.

This level of long-distance running intensity is already close to the limits of physical strength, and may even do more harm than good.

However, today Uesugi Kai just wanted to run around a bit to make herself feel a little tired.

Kai Uesugi forced himself to walk off the track, his head spinning, and then, with his hands on his knees, he gulped down mouthfuls of fresh air.

"Are you alright?" Totsuka Katsura walked towards him. Most of the other students had gone to the central cafeteria for lunch.

"It's okay..." Uesugi Kai inhaled, supporting himself as he slowly straightened up.

Do you know how many laps you just ran?

"I don't know, I haven't counted."

"47 laps, 18 kilometers! I feel like you're not even human."

“A standard marathon is 42.195 kilometers, and those who run in the sandbox are much better than me.”

"Tsk, that's jogging, you're running fast."

“I forgot to time it at first, but your last lap time was 400 meters in 2 minutes and 12 seconds. Your speed at the beginning must have been much faster. I estimate that you only took less than an hour and a half to run 18 kilometers. Why are you running so hard? Are you going to run a marathon in Hakoniwa?”

Kai Uesugi did not answer his question. After his body calmed down and the dizziness in his head disappeared, he did some simple stretching to relax his tense and sore muscles.

Totsuka Katsura, who was waiting nearby, continued, "We've heard back from the three part-time jobs you contacted this morning."

"They all refused?" Uesugi Kai stretched his legs forward alternately, supporting himself on his knees with his hands. He lowered his center of gravity, and you could clearly feel the pull on his thigh muscles.

"You've accepted both. Which company do you plan to work for part-time?"

Kai Uesugi stared at the floor outside the runway, thought for a moment, and said, "A maid café."

"The one who works as a streetwalker handing out flyers?"

"Ah."

After thinking for a moment, Totsuka Katsura nodded and said, "Yeah, that makes sense. The hourly wage is relatively higher, and it's closer to here, but actually... I think you'd be better off working as a cashier at FamilyMart."

"What's so good about this?" Uesugi Kai stood up and stretched out his arms, alternating between left and right.

Totsuka Katsura scrutinized Uesugi Kai's stretching posture, saying, "Wearing a doll's head is such a waste of your face!"
