Band heavy girl? Please stay away from me

But now the lunch box has become smelly...

"No! This bento is no longer edible!"

Shoko Toyokawa hesitated for a moment and decided to throw the smelly lunch box into the trash bag.

For people who are not well-off, good health is particularly important because they cannot afford the cost of being sick.

Hunger is bearable, but illness not only tortures the body and mind, but also greatly affects work efficiency, which is something Toyokawa Shoko cannot accept.

Suddenly, Xiangzi remembered the three banknotes she had put under the cup, so she quickly took them out.

"I'll take 6000 yen with me for now. I'll stop by the landlord later to pay the utility bills. I'll have 5000 yen left... I'll leave it at home for now. I'll see if I can buy some bread or bento on sale later."

After some consideration, Xiangzi took away two banknotes.

She left a 5000 yen note at home, casually placed on the table where it could be seen by everyone.

Xiangzi is not worried that thieves will come to such a shabby rental house to steal things. The bare walls perfectly describe her current home.

After leaving home, Xiangzi walked straight to school. On the way, she did not forget to check her mobile phone to see if there were any temporary worker recruitment notices nearby.

"Vadasi... huh? There really is one?!"

Before she even reached school, Shoko Toyokawa was pleasantly surprised to find a job that was more in line with her expectations.

Udon Mall is hiring doll flyers. Hourly wage: 1000 yen. Food provided, but not housing. Requirements: Wear designated doll work clothes. The position is open for three days, with pay settled on the same day. Interested parties please contact the number below...

No need to show your face, the salary is good, meals are provided, the work is close, and it happens to be a short-term job! This job is exactly what Toyokawa Shoko expected!

So, without a moment's hesitation, Shoko Toyokawa dialed the number on the sign.

Have a brief exchange with the person opposite you.

Since it is the peak consumption season recently, the employer is very short of people. So even though Xiangzi explained that he is just a student, the other party did not care at all and asked Xiangzi to come to work today.

"Okay! I'll be at the nearby venue on time. Yeah, yes, I'm Toyokawa Shoko."

Toyokawa Shoko hung up the phone excitedly, a vitality not seen in a long time appeared in her amber eyes, and her face gradually warmed up and became more human.

At least now I have a way to survive, right?

Although I have never worn a doll costume to distribute flyers on the street, I have to try to face it now in order to make a living.

Arrived at school.

During school, Toyokawa Shoko wanted to go to Shimizu Rin to thank her for the money he gave her, but considering the message Rin had sent her before, Shoko stopped.

Lin has been so busy lately... It's better not to bother her too much and cause her more trouble...

As for the words of thanks... I'll find a chance to thank you in person later, with all my dignity...

End of daytime study.

As soon as the get out of class was over, Shoko Toyokawa hurriedly left the school.

The blue-haired girl hurried to the mall, ready to connect with the work at any time.

Every extra hour you can work means you can earn extra money!

Xiangzi went to a store in the mall and dialed the phone. A receptionist came running over and took Xiangzi to the staff lounge. He explained in detail to her:

"Toyokawa Shoko, right? Here are your work clothes. The flyers are in the cabinet above. You can get ready and start working. You can come back for dinner during your workday. The boxed lunches here are free but limited. And remember to hand out more flyers! If you slack off, your boss will deduct your salary!"

Hearing this, Shoko Toyokawa nodded, and her eyes stopped at a set of pink teddy bears placed in the corner of the lounge. This would be her work clothes later.

"Yeah, I know about the falling stockings."

After a brief exchange about the employee rules that Xiangzi needed to pay attention to, the young man hurried back to the front desk. The peak season's customer flow kept the employees extremely busy.

Otherwise, the employees in the mall would not give such a good job to outsiders.

“Time to get to work…”

Shoko Toyokawa took a deep breath and tried to put on the bulky doll costume. After a few minutes, she managed to put the pink bear head on her head.

Pink teddy bear Xiangzi, attack!

soon.

Passersby outside the mall saw a diligent pink teddy bear holding a thick stack of flyers in its arms, constantly distributing flyers to passers-by.

This kind of routine is not uncommon in Japanese shopping malls.

Xiangzi's appearance did not attract much attention, which just met Xiangzi's intention, so she started working harder.

A job that pays 1000 yen an hour—at least I can have a small portion of affordable pork cutlet rice bowl as a reward tonight, right?

If I find a few more jobs like this, maybe I can pay back the 11000 yen that Rin lent me soon.

Although she didn't say it, Toyokawa Shoko had to return the money to the other party personally.

It's about her self-esteem.

But because of this brief distraction, Shoko Toyokawa didn't see the road ahead clearly and bumped head-on into a pink-haired girl with a flat chest as hard as steel.

"Ouch!" the girl exclaimed.

Xiangzi was wearing a teddy bear work suit, and the weight of the suit and his own body made him as steady as a rock.

Xiangzi accidentally collided with the pink-haired girl opposite him, and was fine, but the flyers in his arms were unfortunately scattered all over the floor, and the pink-haired girl fell straight to the ground, holding her butt with a look of pain on her face.

"Yeah, I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Xiangzi reacted quickly and hurried forward to help the fallen pink-haired girl up with her furry paws, and gently brushed the dust off her clothes.

The girl who was knocked down paused after hearing the sound coming from under the teddy bear.

The pink-haired girl glanced unexpectedly at the teddy bear that was supporting her, her eyes filled with surprise.

She didn't expect that there was actually a girl under the big teddy bear, and judging from her voice, she might be about the same age as her.

What a strange girl...

Is there something you can't tell?

"It's okay, it's okay. I wasn't paying attention just now. I should be the one to apologize." The girl waved her hand with a smile.

She looked down and noticed the flyers scattered on the ground, so she smiled and comforted him:

"Let me help you? It shouldn't be easy for Miss Doll to bend over. Just consider it my apology."

Then, under the gaze of Toyokawa Shoko, the pink-haired girl squatted down and picked up the flyers one by one.

"Eh?"

Shoko Toyokawa hurriedly tried to help the girl who was squatting on the ground, but the loose doll costume was really inconvenient.

It was already the limit of her efforts to see the floor, let alone bend down to pick up the flyer.

Thinking of her salary, Xiangzi no longer blocked the girl's kindness. She said from the bottom of her heart, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, it's just a small thing."

The pink-haired girl chuckled and returned all the sorted flyers to Xiangzi. At this time, a girl's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

"Aine! Let's go!"

Chihaya Aine waved her hand and responded, "Okay, got it. I'll be right there."

After saying that, Chihaya Aine looked at the pink stuffed bear in front of her that was moving sluggishly and said in a gloomy voice:

"Then I'll be leaving, Miss Doll?"

"Um......"

After witnessing Chihaya Aine's departure, Toyokawa Shoko did not feel the slightest bit moved.

This pink-haired girl who looks sunny and popular must be a very popular and sought-after person in her school.

His strong affinity once made Xiangzi see his former self.

but.

What does this have to do with me, a downtrodden loser?

It is true that the pink-haired cat is a kind person, but she has nothing to do with his life trajectory. The busyness of life means that Xiangzi cannot pay too much attention to someone.

Unless you meet someone special...

Shoko Toyokawa withdrew her gaze and continued to distribute the flyers in her arms on the street, working hard for her next meal.

Ten minutes later.

She went to another street and prepared to start distributing flyers from the end.

but.

Two familiar figures in her sight immediately caught Toyokawa Shoko's attention.

Nagasaki Suyo and Shiina Tatsuki.

The bassist and drummer of his former band were sitting in an open-air cafe on the street, each with a cup of hot coffee in front of them, and they seemed to be talking about something.

"They...what are they doing?"

Xiangzi felt a little curious.

Because usually when they were at CRYCHIC, the relationship between Shiina Tatsuki and Nagasaki Motoyo was not very harmonious, so why are they sitting here and chatting in a friendly manner now?

Do not understand.

but......

Shoko Toyokawa raised her hands, but what she saw was a pair of furry doll hands. Then she realized that she was protected by a doll costume.

There is absolutely no need to escape.

As long as I don't speak, Shiina Riki and Nagasaki Motoyo will never recognize my identity.

After all, no one would just take off the head of a stuffed bear on the street, right?

Ever since.

Out of curiosity, Xiangzi subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to eavesdrop on the conversation between Su Shi and Li Xi.

She had a premonition.

The conversation between the two was most likely about CRYCHIC, after all, CRYCHIC is the bond that connects everyone.

CRYCHIC......

Before she knew it, Toyokawa Shoko happened to stop at a conspicuous position at the street corner, but she could just hear Nagasaki Suyo's questioning voice.

"What does Lixi mean?"

Nagasaki Suyo's voice seemed a little angry. Xiangzi had never heard Suyo's voice so angry before.

As a result, Xiangzi became even more curious and couldn't help but move closer to where the two girls were.

The sound became clearer.

"I think I've made myself clear, right? Coming back and forming a new band, isn't that what you want?" Shiina Tatsuki crossed his arms and glanced unexpectedly at the excited Nagasaki Motoyo opposite him.

Obviously, she couldn't understand why Su Shi had such a violent reaction, like a large dog whose tail was stepped on.

"But what about Xiangzi?" Nagasaki Suyo asked.

"What does she have to do with us? Didn't she want to quit CRYCHIC herself? A band without Toyokawa Shoko is nothing special, right?"

Shiina Riki retorted, but unexpectedly her words hit Su Shi's sore spot accurately, and also reached the ears of Xiangzi not far away.

"..."

The pink stuffed bear stood motionless at the excuse, holding a thick stack of flyers, as if suspended.

"No! CRYCHIC hasn't disbanded yet. We just need to give Rin and Shoko some time!"

Nagasaki Suyo covered her chest with her hands, and it can be seen that she looked very painful.

"No, not anymore. Rin has clearly rejected my invitation... Xiangzi can't even communicate normally, so the probability of success must be much lower than Rin's."

Shiina Riki shook his head helplessly.

"Instead of letting the band stop operating and tying me and the lights to the same place, why not form a new CRYCHIC... Of course, it doesn't have to be CRYCHIC, as long as it's a band that can perform."

Wanting to hear Deng's singing and see Deng's lyrics again, Shiina Riki felt that he needed to step forward and reconstruct the band.

but.
