The Chosen Ones Also Want a Youth Romance Story

He turned his head and found that Ayaka Totsuka stretched out her tender little white hand and held his left arm.

His mind went blank for a moment, and before he could say anything, Hikigaya Hachiman heard Yukinoshita Yukino in front of him shouting "Let's go", so he had no choice but to mechanically take steps towards the [Angel's Staircase].

Under the dim light, the male receptionist inside the bar greeted them, stopped at an appropriate distance, bowed slightly, and led them to the bar seats.

Behind the bar counter, an elegant female bartender was gently wiping the wine glasses. Her beautiful silver hair was piled up high, and the teardrop mole under her right eye revealed her identity. Saki Kawasaki was concentrating on her work and did not notice the arrival of the people from the Service Club.

"Good night, Kawasaki."

She came gently in front of Saki Kawasaki, and the considerate Yukino Yukinoshita did not call her Kawasaki-san.

"Ah...you again." Kawasaki Saki frowned at first, then relaxed and asked casually, "Would you like something to drink?"

The bar where he worked part-time was discovered, and perhaps the bar had given up resistance. At this moment, Kawasaki seemed very calm.

"Pei Luya." Yukinoshita Yukino said lightly.

Kanda Osamu thought for a while, then said with certainty: "Soda Water, they both feel the same as me."

He pointed at Hikigaya Hachiman and Totsuka Ayaka behind him.

"I, I'm the same as Xiaoxue!" Yuigahama, who was left behind, spoke up.

"Okay, please wait a moment." With a sigh in her heart, Saki Kawasaki smiled bitterly and took out five champagne glasses to pour drinks for everyone.

Handing the cups to the waiters, she looked around the bar, finally setting her sights on Yukinoshita, who was in the middle. "So, what are you doing here?"

"Kawasaki, why do you come here to work?" The dim light filled the entire bar. Standing in front of the bar, Yukinoshita Yukino answered her own question slowly, "I think it's for my family."

Saki Kawasaki has many brothers and sisters in her family. Although the large number of family members makes the family very lively and harmonious, the expenses of the children have become a big problem for the parents.

Kawasaki Daishi, who was about to enter Sobu High School, first faced tutoring for further studies and sprint tutoring. After learning about this, Kawasaki Saki, the eldest sister, chose to go out to work late at night to supplement the family income, reduce the burden on the family, and provide a good environment for her brother's study out of the eagerness to help her brother.

The girl sighed, her emerald eyes revealing her inner melancholy under the dim light. She couldn't ignore Yukinoshita Yukino who told the truth.

"Then what can you do?" She asked anxiously, "Can someone like you who doesn't have to worry about food and clothing really understand my feelings?"

Yukinoshita was a little at a loss for words when asked this question, and she fell into a long silence.

"Wait a minute! Why are you suddenly bringing up Yukino's situation?" Yuigahama was rarely angry, and she glared at Saki Kawasaki.

Yukinoshita never takes the initiative to talk about her family situation. In fact, even though she was born in a prominent family, she never thinks she is superior to others. Because she has a strong mother, family pressure and other people's prejudices have brought her a deformed life, which makes her try hard to make changes, but Kawasaki's words make her angry, and Yukinoshita, who should be full of confidence, falls into confusion.

"...Yukinoshita."

Kanda Osamu moved closer and called her name softly, helping Yukinoshita Yukino to break free from her confusion about the future.

"What's wrong, Kanda-kun?" she asked in a puzzled tone.

Kanda shook his head slightly, "Let me communicate with her, Buchou."

Glancing at the person who still had his right arm crossed, and trying to suppress the urge to sigh, Yukinoshita Yukino nodded slightly.

"……it is good."

Yukinoshita Yukino pulled her hand away, holding the glass of Perrier-en-Provence wine, and walked from the bar to the window, quietly enjoying the night view while keeping a certain distance from other people.

Kanda, who was leaning on the bar, raised his glass, took a sip of soda, then sighed and said, "Kawasaki, do you want to hear my idea?"

"What? Do you also want to persuade me to give up?" Kawasaki Saki looked at Kanda Osamu and spoke.

“No…” Kanda shook his head, hesitated for a moment and continued: “I want to ask if you have any plans to change your part-time job.”

"what?"

This unconventional answer surprised Saki Kawasaki, who had been prepared for it.

Chapter 22: Workplace Internship (Part 1)

"Change to a part-time job?"

Kanda's words made Kawasaki Saki frown.

"Yes." Kanda Osamu nodded, and then told the news he knew, "There is a coffee shop called K-cafe on the fourth floor of Nakano Broadway. They are currently recruiting a bar receptionist."

"Bartender?" Kawasaki Saki put down the cup she was wiping, hesitated for a moment and then asked, "What are the working hours and salary?"

"I work on weekends, and the daily salary is about 15,000 yen..."

Having said this, Kanda Osamu suddenly paused, he remembered that this job had a special requirement.

He glanced at Saki Kawasaki, who seemed to be a little interested, and lowered his voice and said, "Due to some special reasons, this store needs to change into special work clothes."

Special work clothes refer to maid clothes. (Confirmed)

“…That’s all?”

It didn't sound like a difficult task, so she hesitated.

"That's all. If you'd like I can take you to the interview tomorrow afternoon."

Kawasaki Saki was silent, and after struggling for about five minutes, she raised her head again:

"Tomorrow, I'll go with you to take a look tomorrow."

"Okay." Kanda Osamu nodded.

After saying that, he waved to the others, signaling them to retreat.

"...Where is Yukinoshita?" After hesitating for a moment, Hikigaya Hachiman pointed at Minister Yukinoshita who was keeping a distance from everyone else.

Kanda Osamu smiled and patted his shoulder, "I'll go talk to her, you guys go first."

"Ah good."

Hikigaya nodded, pulled away Yuigahama Yui who was about to say something, and headed for the elevator with Totsuka.

"minister?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was admiring the night view of [Angel's Staircase], then noticed the Kanda member who had walked up to her.

"How's the negotiation going, Kanda-kun?"

"It should be considered a success, right?"

Kanda Osamu made an OK gesture and said with a smile: "Buyer, do you want to enjoy the scenery here all night?"

As he spoke, he bent down slightly in an exaggerated manner, stretched out his slightly bent right arm, and looked at Yukinoshita.

"Please, Minister."

"Kanda-kun seems a little too proud of himself."

Yukinoshita Yukino was successfully amused by his appearance. She shook her head slightly, and instead of holding his hand again, she shook off Kanda Osamu and walked forward.

……

The next afternoon.

Because there was still a city education research meeting this Tuesday afternoon, Sobu High School gave the students an early break.

"Is this the special request you mentioned?"

Saki Kawasaki frowned and looked at the maid Xiaosha in the K-cafe.

"Yes, can't you accept it?" Kanda Osamu nodded and asked her tentatively.

"No, it's not that I can't accept it..."

Kawasaki lowered his head, and when he said this, Kanda Osamu vaguely felt that the girl in front of him breathed a sigh of relief.

"Anyway... I want to give it a try." Kawasaki Saki was silent for a moment before looking up at Kanda Osamu.

"Well, thank you very much anyway."

"That's not right." Kanda Osamu stretched out his index finger and shook it left and right. "Kawasaki-san should thank Minister Yukinoshita."

After hearing Yukinoshita's words and remembering her own radical remarks last night, Kawasaki Saki's expression became unnatural.

"I...I will apologize to Yukinoshita-san and thank her very much."

Saki Kawasaki took her decision seriously.

In the end, Saki Kawasaki's delicate face and adorable teardrop mole successfully convinced the store manager to hire this maid receptionist. After going home and asking her brother, Saki Kawasaki realized how much trouble she had caused to everyone in the service club. The next day, she specially found Yukinoshita Yukino to express her sincere apology and gratitude.

At this point, the [Saki Kawasaki rescue plan] was perfectly accomplished.

……

After the last class in the morning, in Class J, Grade 2.

Kanda Osamu pursed his lips and sat in the classroom with a stiff expression.

"Kanda-kun, do you want to tell each other the scores?" a cold voice came.

"……I was wrong."

Although he could have tried to be stubborn, Kanda still honestly admitted his mistake in response to this question.

It has been a week since [Saki Kawasaki's Rescue Plan], and the Sobu students who completed their regular exams a few days ago received their report cards today.

Because Sobu High School is a college entrance examination school, in order to protect students, the school generally only sends scores and rankings to students themselves, rather than posting a list. Of course, if you really want to know other people's scores and rankings, you can also ask privately.

But Kanda Osamu had no such idea at all.

The number 2 was clearly written on the report card in his hand. He didn't have to think about who had stepped on him this time. His provocation against Yukinoshita two weeks ago had finally brought him a belated retribution.

"I feel like Mr. Sleepy's dreaming performance should still be able to take first place."

Lifting up her straight hair, Yukinoshita Yukino smiled contemptuously and used the strange name she had called him for the first time in a long time.

Fortunately, because someone admitted his mistake directly, she didn't care too much about it. She just sorted out the things that might be used later.

In addition to being the day when regular exam results are announced, there is another big event today.

During today's lunch break, students from Sobu High School will go to their chosen internship workplaces in batches.

The workplace chosen by Kanda and his group is Kamishiro Enterprise, which develops electronic EDEN.

Cyberspace, as the most important research project of Shindai Enterprise, has made great breakthroughs.

Just entering the inner hall of Shindai Enterprise caused a commotion, and the students could not help but sigh at the progress of technology. A blue display screen was suspended in a circle, and the staff were doing their work in their own areas. In the center of the circle was a huge, golden light column, and a bunch of data flashed from time to time.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the Age of Gods."

Hanging their work badges on their chests, the receptionists came forward to greet the students as soon as they saw them, and divided them into groups and assigned them to different reception staff.

In the same group with Kanda Osamu are Yukino Yukinoshita and Kyoko Takahashi.

The three of them usually followed the staff and visited the open areas inside the Age of Gods under his guidance.

"This is the data room for distributing electronic documents..."

The mature and steady-looking receptionist pointed to the room next to him and introduced the main functions of the information room to the students.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After walking around the interior of Kamishiro, Kanda's heavy cough following behind drew the receptionist's attention to him.

"What's wrong, classmate?"

"I, I suddenly feel a little dizzy..."

Kanda Osamu leaned against the wall, covering his forehead with his right hand, looking like he was unable to stand steadily.

Chapter 23: Workplace Internship (Part 2)

The receptionist looked at his frail appearance and couldn't tell whether it was true or not.

"...Did this classmate suffer from heatstroke?" he asked in a suspicious tone.

Terrible acting, Kanda-kun.

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed, and she walked up to Kanda Osamu before the staff could further expand their suspicion.

I gently kicked Kanda Shu who was leaning against the wall, and he opened his eyes and put down his right hand that was supporting his forehead.

Yukinoshita stretched out her hand and placed it on his forehead. After a while, she shook her head calmly, "He needs to rest."
