Service Club? Just like you guys, you want to step into the whirlpool of the band?

Accompanied by the swaying sound of the wind chimes at the door, Shiina Riki's figure slowly disappeared on the second floor.

Seeing this, Shinji Rinrinko continued to work leisurely on her work and waited for the two people to arrive.

Judging from the time the store manager sent her a message until now, Rakuna and Ichinose Asaba should be arriving soon.

"Is this RiNG?"

He followed Kaname Rakuna all the way from Higashi-Ikebukuro Station to the vicinity of RiNG. When Asaba Ichinose saw this big thing with his own eyes, he truly understood how big this grandmother's newly opened store was.

With this scale...I'm afraid they have moved an entire shopping mall here.

I always feel like it can accommodate more than a dozen spaces at the same time... maybe more.

"Here! RiNG! Yu is coming?"

He was so sleepy on the train just now, but he was full of energy after getting off. After bringing Ichinose Asaba to the vicinity of RiNG, Kaname Rakuna was extremely happy.

There's nothing I can do about it, cats are just that kind of casual creatures.

"I have a job in Fanxing, Lenai."

"Two jobs."

Ask Lenai to naively hold up two fingers.

"I'll die. I'm not Superman."

Ichinose Asaba refused without a second thought.

"is it not OK?"

Kaname looked at her somewhat unhappily.

“Is this even worth thinking about?”

This time, Ichinose Asaba would not listen to her and immediately turned her head away.

Before he knew it, Lenai ran towards the gate of RiNG in a huff.

"Wait, Lenai! Stop running around and watch out for pedestrians!"

Afraid that Rakuna might bump into someone on the street, Ichinose Asaba had no choice but to follow.

So, this is the most troublesome thing about wild cats!

As he ran, he called out to Lenai to stop.

At the same time, under a billboard on the street, Shiina Ritsuki, who had just come out of RiNG, couldn't help but frowned after hearing the noise in the distance.

She did hear Lenai's name clearly, but she always felt that the male voice that called out the other person's name sounded a little familiar.

I wanted to listen carefully, but the surrounding environment was too noisy and I couldn't hear clearly. Moreover, the other party only lasted for three or four seconds before it stopped abruptly. It was obvious that he had caught up with Lenai.

""

The sound was too short and unclear. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the voice was a bit like Ichinose Asaba's, but it didn't make sense.

After all, how could that guy be Ms. Rinrinko's part-time job junior... It's absolutely impossible.

Moreover, ever since he ran out after Toyokawa Shoko that night, he disappeared as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth. Later, I heard from Nagasaki Motoyo that Ichinose Asaba had even moved out of his original residence and no one knew where he had gone.

So she must have heard it wrong. How could someone who had no news for over a year suddenly appear where she worked, not to mention such a coincidence?

Shaking off the unrealistic fantasies in his mind, Shiina Riki continued walking towards home.

R

"Ah! Long time no see, Asaba, you've changed so much!"

In the coffee shop on the second floor, when Ichinose Asaba grabbed Rakuna and went upstairs, Shinji Rinrinko covered her mouth in shock when she saw him for the first time.

After not seeing you for two years, you have changed a lot in height, appearance, and temperament!

Shinji Rinrinko quickly put down the work in her hands and walked out of the bar. She walked around Ichinose Asaba and looked at her carefully, nodding from time to time.

"Long time no see, Rinrinko."

Asaba Ichinose faced the scrutiny of Rinrinko Shinji calmly. After all, they were old acquaintances and there was nothing to be shy about.

"Actually, yesterday I was wondering why Lenai suddenly asked me how to get to Chiba. I didn't expect it to be to find you. It was such a surprise."

Shinji Rinrinko asked the two to sit down and then took out the drinks that had been prepared long ago.

I hope everyone can give me some recommendation votes and monthly tickets! Love you guys!

Chapter 35 is like going back in time.

"what about the taste?"

“The craftsmanship is still as good as before, and the taste is very nostalgic.”

Ichinose Asaba took a sip of the coffee brewed by Shinji Rinrinko, and the rich aroma made him relax unconsciously.

The amount of sugar cubes is just right and does not destroy the original bitter taste of the coffee.

"Really... That's great!" Shinji Rinrinko smiled and clapped herself, then said, "Asaba, do you want to try it? I haven't tasted the coffee you made for a long time."

“Matcha Parfait!”

At this time, Rakuna couldn't wait to raise her hand. Just from her tone, you could tell her desire for the matcha parfait, especially since it was made by Asaba Ichinose.

"I understand." Ichinose Asaba rubbed Kaname Rakuna's head, then looked at Shinji Rinrinko, "Still the same?"

"I can't drink anything that sweet lately, so Qianyu, just make what you're good at."

Shinji Rinrinko sighed in distress. In order to control her figure, she has been avoiding sweet foods recently.

"Okay, I'll watch then."

Asaba Ichinose nodded, first glanced at the position of the molds on the bar, and after memorizing them all, she started to make matcha parfait for Runa Kaname.

During this time, Shinji Rinrinko also walked over and carefully observed his methods and steps.

Well... although she had learned all these from Ichinose Asaba a long time ago, she just couldn't reproduce the taste one-to-one. The difference... was about 15%.

"Hmm... delicious!"

It had been a long time since she tasted the matcha parfait made by Asaba Ichinose. Kaname Rakuna had no intention of sharing it at all and ran to the next seat with her plate.

"Delicious..." Here, after tasting the coffee brewed by Ichinose Asaba, Shinji Rinrinko couldn't help but reveal a nostalgic expression and sighed, "If you ask me, Asaba should just stay in RiNG."

Not only did she want to taste this delicious food, but she also wanted to continue working with Ichinose Asaba, just like when they were in SPACE, which was very relaxing and comfortable.

Even though Lenai is there when she's alone, this kid almost always comes with the purpose of stealing snacks, which is a headache. She can't control him by herself, even with the help of Shiina Riki who works here, it's still a problem.

"I got a part-time job in Shimokita."

Asaba Ichinose sat opposite Shinji Rinrinko, habitually supporting her chin with the back of her hand and resting her arms on the table.

"Eh?"

Shinji Rinrinko was stunned when she heard this.

"what happened?"

Since Rinrinko knew that he and Lenai were coming, her grandmother must have called her. Didn’t she even tell her this?

Ichinose Asaba's eyes were a little confused, as if she didn't understand her reaction.

Shinji Rinrinko shook her head and said calmly, "My boss didn't mention this when he called me just now."

When the call just now came, the boss just said that Ichinose Asaba would definitely refuse this request, but did not say that he currently had a part-time job.

"Grandma, what did she say?"

Ichinose Asaba was a little curious about what the old man would say to Shinji Rinrinko, so he asked seriously.

"Asaya, don't you know? From the very beginning, this RiNG store has had two people in charge, that is, the position of store manager. One of them is me, and the other is you, Asaya."

Seeing that Ichinose Asaba's reaction really didn't seem like she knew about this, she had no choice but to explain it from beginning to end.

"My boss just called me to tell me about this, saying that if you want..."

"I don't have that idea yet."

Ichinose Asaba interrupted Shinji Rinrinko's speech and spoke after hesitating for a moment.

The reason for his refusal was simple. Let's not talk about RiNG's location issue for now, just talking about the stars, if he suddenly left without saying anything...then what would it mean.

With the scale of RiNG, being a store manager here can certainly make a lot of money, but compared to money, he values ​​feelings more. Besides, Fanxing's salary is not low.

When he first moved from Roppongi to Chiba, he tried working in various convenience stores, but the salary and working hours were never equal. In the end, he searched all the way and finally came to Fanxing following a recruitment flyer.

There, on the surface, it seemed that he brought a certain amount of daily income to Fanxing, but in fact he was also taken care of a lot by the Ijichi sisters. At least he forgot his troubles for a short time.

Besides, he has gotten used to it, so if he were suddenly asked to leave Fanxing, he would really feel a little uncomfortable.

Of course, it is worth pointing out that he did not regard the stars as a substitute for SPACE.

"You can handle the position of person in charge even if it's just you, Rinrinko."

"really"

After hearing Ichinose Asaba's answer, Shinji Rinrinko's face showed a complex emotion.

"Ok?"

At this time, Asaba Ichinose had not yet realized that something was wrong.

Noticing that Ichinose Asaba's personality had truly changed, Shinji Rinrinko said with mixed feelings, "The boss had already guessed you'd say that, so she asked me to temporarily give you the position of acting store manager, but your actual salary will be the same as mine."

"But the boss didn't explain the job details clearly. He just said Qianyu, you know everything and don't let her down."

Shinji Rinrinko shook her head and thought about what happened just now. At that time, she couldn't understand what the old man meant by "don't let her down", but now, perhaps she has realized something.

It seems that after SPACE disbanded, not only Lenai was affected, but also her lovely junior.

Lenai hadn't touched a guitar in two years, but what about Asaba? It seemed to be more serious.

"Did Grandma really say that?"

Ichinose Asaba's expression was a little complicated, as if she couldn't quite understand...or maybe she didn't quite understand the old man's arrangements.

Home...isn't it something you have to find on your own?

Or is it that grandma is disappointed in him and wants to use this method to find a home for herself?

But if that's the case, then why did grandma say those things to him before, and about the work content, and not letting her down...what are all these?

"What? Is this still the Qianyu I knew before?"

Seeing that Ichinose Asaba was still hesitating, Shinji Rinrinko looked at him angrily, then stood up and walked forward, put her hands on his shoulders and squeezed them hard twice, with a hint of venting and blaming in her tone.

"Rinrinko...you..."

Asaba Ichinose was shocked by Shinji Rinrinko's action.

In fact, Shinji Rinrinko is older than him in both age and length of service. To be honest, the name Rinrinko-sister is the most appropriate compared to Rinrinko.

And for Ichinose Asaba, she is undoubtedly the most reliable senior and friend.

So when faced with her, Shinji Rinrinko's behavior, he would not deliberately dodge, just like when the old man lectured him on the phone before, he had to listen obediently.

"It really has changed a lot. At first I thought it was an illusion."

Shinji Rinrinko angrily slapped him with a knife.

In the distance, Kaname Rakuna, who was concentrating on tasting the matcha parfait, accidentally saw this scene and did not stop it. Instead, she smiled happily.

Like returning to SPACE

The girl thought to herself.

P.S.: The reward will end tomorrow, and the chapters I owe have all been coded. Everyone, work harder! Please give me more recommendation votes and monthly tickets. It's so easy, no pressure.

Recommend a friend's book! "Anime, But Bond Simulation, Nagasaki Suyo Please Marry Me Soon"

Chapter 36 Acting Store Manager.

"That's too complicated." Shinji Rinrinko released her hand, walked over to Ichinose Asaba, and imitated her vividly. "In the past, Asaba would only say, 'Really? Thank you, grandma! I'll definitely work hard!' That kind of thing."

After seeing this, Asaba Ichinose covered his face. He was not acting. He had indeed said such things before.

So it was because of this that he couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"Now, why do you have to make things so complicated? Shouldn't you accept what grandma gave you?"

Shinji Rinrinko pulled away Ichinose Asaba's hand that was covering her face and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "After SPACE disbanded, I tried other jobs, but in the end I still liked the atmosphere of LIVEHOUSE, so I took the initiative to find the boss and explained it to her. At that time, RiNG had just been established not long ago, and the boss gave me the position of store manager without hesitation."
