My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

After saying that, Shimazu led the women toward their destination.

It was 5:30 a.m., and the streets were full of people and a dense flow of traffic. Some shops had already turned on their lights.

Four attractive girls walking down the street naturally drew the attention of many people. Some men who considered themselves handsome even tried to approach them, but the Misaki High School uniforms they were wearing extinguished their hopes.

After passing through five or six streets, Shimazu Shoko led everyone to the intersection of a busy pedestrian street and pointed to a shop next to the intersection with the sign "patisserie Tendresse" and said, "This is it."

Hui looked at the store.

'Pastry Tendresse, Pastry Love?'

'The name is strange, no, it's probably because my translation is terrible.'

'But...why does this name sound familiar?'

"Let's go in," said Shimazu Shoko, leading everyone into the shop.

A brief statement:

First of all, I'm very sorry!

Because it's the end of the year, and this year is quite special, the department has accumulated many unfulfilled targets, requiring us to work overtime to complete them. Therefore, this period is somewhat unstable.

All I can say is I'll try my best during this period. (?oωo?)

Chapter 257 Unexpected Disaster

"jingle--"

The four women pushed open the door and entered, startling the bell on the door frame, which rang with a clear sound.

Upon entering the store, Hui looked around. The store was spacious and decorated in a sweet and warm style. Warm-colored wallpaper was pasted on the walls, along with a hundred three-dimensional colorful hot air balloons. Cats with different expressions were quietly lying on the walls. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows that occupied an entire wall, several potted green plants were placed, bringing a refreshing feeling. A sweet fragrance permeated the air.

The semi-open private rooms, each about 1.5 meters high, are arranged in a regular pattern. Inside each room is a small rectangular table for four people. Now, many couples are scattered around, chatting or playing on their phones. Of course, there are also groups of girlfriends who are all girls. It can be seen that the store is doing very well.

Kimura Aoi, who was greeting customers at the door, saw the four women enter the store. She was particularly impressed when she saw Kei. Having worked at this store for many years, she had seen countless beautiful young women.

However, the quality of the four in front of us is of the same standard, especially the last girl, whose beauty is unprecedented.

However, Kimura, who was already a sophomore, quickly regained his composure and stepped forward to greet them: "Welcome, are the four of you together?"

"Okay! Find us a big seat."

Shoko Shimazu answered first.

"Okay, please come in!"

Kimura Aoi led the four people to their destination.

···

at the same time!

In this store, the staff break room is only a dozen meters away from Hui and the others.

Kouta was resting in a chair inside.

Just then, a pretty girl came into the room and greeted him warmly: "Fujiki-kun, you must be thirsty after working for so long. This is some matcha I made, please try it!"

After saying that, the girl handed Kouta a cup of freshly brewed matcha.

"Oh, thank you, Maeda-senpai."

Kouta accepted the matcha and thanked him with a smile.

This girl was none other than Maeda Chie, who had called Kouta earlier.

"I'm glad you like it." Maeda Chie saw Kouta take a sip and asked, "How is it? It tastes alright, right?"

"Mmm, it tastes great."

"Then, if you want to drink it in the future, I—"

"Hey, Fujiki, what are you still doing here? Trying to slack off again?"

Just then, a very unfriendly voice rang out from the doorway, interrupting Maeda Chie's words.

This was a thin man dressed as a waiter, with a sickly pale face, a pointed chin, high-arched eyebrows, and a pair of shrewd, beady eyes that darted around.

His name is Yamamura Jeff. In fact, he had been eavesdropping at the door the whole time and seized the right opportunity to interrupt Maeda Chie, preventing their relationship from escalating further.

He likes Chie Maeda, and the reason is simple: Chie Maeda is the best girl in their class.

He and Maeda Chie were classmates, but not at Misaki High School. Instead, they went to a regular local public high school, the kind of high school you often see in Japanese anime where students leave early every day and there's not much academic pressure.

When Maeda Chie first entered high school, he was attracted by her beautiful appearance and aloof temperament.

He originally wanted to confess his feelings, but after seeing that many people who confessed first were rejected, he gave up the idea of ​​confessing hastily.

He then began to pursue her.

I plan to confess my feelings when I've pursued her enough, and win her heart in one fell swoop.

However, the results were not good. Despite his daily attempts to get close to Maeda Chie, she never gave him a warm welcome.

After a semester, Yamamura Jeff found that his relationship with Maeda Chie remained at the level of classmates.

Unlike others, he hasn't given up.

This time, upon learning that Maeda Chie was working at this store, he, who never worked part-time, came specifically to join the team.

Firstly, to find more opportunities to spend time with Maeda Chie; secondly, to prevent Maeda Chie from being deceived by those unscrupulous men outside.

He knew, of course, that Tian Qianhui's beautiful appearance used to attract toads who wanted to eat swan meat wherever she went.

Although he knew that Maeda Chie was aloof and always kept people at arm's length, he was always worried about the possibility of something going wrong. Who knew what dirty tricks those disgusting men outside might use to deceive his Chie?

And as he expected,

This guy named Fujiki Kouta has only been here for less than two months, and he has already used despicable means to bewitch his Chie-chan.

Nowadays, Chie-chan often brings him water and tea, showing concern for his well-being. She also does her best to help him at work. What's even more infuriating is that when he was teaching that guy a lesson, Chie actually stood on his side and defended him, opposing him!

Take now, for example.

"Yamamura-kun, what do you mean? Fujiki-kun's break time lasts until six o'clock, and it's not six o'clock yet. How can you call that slacking off? If this counts as slacking off, then I'm slacking off too."

Chie Maeda retorted without hesitation to Jeff Yamamura, showing an attitude of defending Kouta to the end.

"No, I wasn't talking about Chie-chan."

Yamamura Jeff immediately put on a smiling face and fawned over Maeda Chie in a humble manner.

"I've told you so many times, don't call me Chie. We're not close enough to call each other by name."

"Okay, Chi~, no, Maeda-chan."

Yamamura Jeff immediately changed his tune and continued to flatter Maeda Chie.

However, when he occasionally glanced at Kouta behind Maeda Chie, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

'It was all this guy's fault for stirring up trouble between Chie and me. That despicable guy, I will never let him get away with this.'

Deep down, Jeff Yamamura wouldn't admit it, nor would he want to believe it, that it was his goddess, Chie Maeda, who had taken the initiative from the very beginning.

Kouta watched all of this from behind, and he naturally noticed the resentful look in Yamamura Jeff's eyes when he looked at him.

He wasn't afraid, but he sighed inwardly, 'What an undeserved disaster!'

Kouta could obviously tell that Maeda Chie seemed to have feelings for him.

This is the same as in my previous life.

The only difference is that, unlike my previous life...

In my previous life, I didn't work at this store for very long. I quit around the middle of summer vacation and then devoted myself to studying to prepare for the midterm exams two months after the start of the new semester.

When he left the store, he only told the store manager that he had no further contact with Maeda Chie and never saw her again.

In this life, Hui became his woman more than ten years earlier than expected.

Therefore, in order to save enough money to give Hui a surprise on her sixteenth birthday, he has stayed at this store until now without quitting.

Kouta didn't know how to handle this kind of situation. He talked to Chie Akira Maeda, but she never said she liked him. She just took good care of him. You could say it was romantic affection, or you could say it was just colleagues taking care of each other.

This is something that can't be said openly.

As for the clown, Yamamura Jeff, Kouta believed in the principle of "the less trouble, the better." As long as the other party didn't cross his bottom line, it wouldn't hurt to give in a little.

'Well, I'll work for another week, save up enough money, and then quit.'

Kouta made up his mind.

"Never mind, Maeda-senpai, it's almost six o'clock anyway, I'll go to work now."

After finishing his sentence, Kouta walked out of the lounge without lingering.

Chapter 258 Framed

In the lounge.

Upon seeing this, Maeda Chie immediately followed her out.
