At least, as long as I get paid, that's good enough.

The store manager was very satisfied with Chiharu Tokisaka's performance and decided that she could start working today.

By the time we officially started working, it was already 10 p.m.

Yamada and the store manager have both left, leaving only Chiharu Tokisaka all alone here.

The oden machine was still bubbling away, emitting a delicious aroma.

The girl's stomach immediately started growling; she was extremely hungry.

Chiharu Tokisaka had no intention of stealing food, even though she was starving. She still refused to do so.

Not only because of the numerous security cameras in the store, but also because of her dedication.

"My mother taught me from a young age that I should not steal."

So Chiharu Tokisaka could only drink some tap water when no one was around, barely managing to fool her stomach.

There were indeed very few customers at night. Until around two or three in the morning, only two or three customers came to buy cigarettes.

However, a high school student did want to buy cigarettes, but Chiharu Tokisaka refused him after asking for his name and age according to the rules.

The high school student seemed very indignant.

Looking at the empty convenience store filled with a stark white light, Chiharu Tokisaka couldn't help but sigh; "Time to start cleaning."

First, there's the microwave for heating up lunchboxes, which is only slightly troublesome to clean. The real headaches are the sieves for frying food and all sorts of metal utensils.

It requires a very complicated process.

In addition, there are also processes such as restocking.

They pulled a handcart into the warehouse, put the items that needed to be restocked in the handcart, and pulled it to the shelves.

Some items that need to be removed from the shelves require scanning.

Occasionally, customers would come in, and Chiharu Tokisaka would have to hurry back to the cashier.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."

Then they would skillfully ask, "Do you have a loyalty card?" "Do you need a straw or chopsticks?" These are the kinds of questions that sales clerks say hundreds of times a day.

After the customers leave, we restock and buy more goods.

Those bento boxes that have passed their "best before" date need to be placed upright in a special black bag near the back door and thrown away when people leave work.

As for the oden, it needs to be disposed of around four or five o'clock.

Chiharu Tokisaka used a small bag to take out the oden pieces one by one and put them into this small bag. Then she threw them into a black bag to prevent the juice from spilling and staining the floor.

By the time everything was finished, Chiharu Tokisaka was exhausted.

It might be because I've been sweating and need to wash myself.

But because of staying up late, my face was so dry it felt like I had a mask covered in sand. My body also felt hot, and my face felt especially hot.

My lips were dry and cold.

After finishing the task, you can take a break for a while.

But it was the girl's first day at work, and this was the only way she could present herself to avoid being fired on her first day.

Feeling dizzy and drowsy, Tokisaka Chiharu was enveloped by an overwhelming sense of sleepiness.

I can only stay awake for a short time after each face wash.

I endured it all until I took over the shift at six o'clock, and that's when I was finally free.

The morning shift was taken over by another girl. Tokisaka Chiharu barely managed to greet her before taking over the shift.

She went to the staff changing room to change into her own clothes, yawning as she checked her watch. Only then did she pick up the trash bag from the back door, intending to throw it into the trash can.

The girls on the early shift didn't pay much attention.

He simply thanked them loudly.

Because the trash cans are located far away, she is unwilling to go out and make the trip again.

Chiharu Tokisaka deliberately walked a little further away and observed carefully for a while.

After realizing that no one was around and no one was watching him from a distance.

She then untied the garbage bag, took out three bento boxes, and a bag of oden.

I re-tied the original black garbage bag and threw it into the trash can.

With these things in hand, her heart pounding, she boarded the tram.

"How lucky."

Thinking this, she couldn't resist the urge to open it and eat it.

But I still endured it, planning to eat it when I got home.

She kept yawning, and after returning home, she placed these things on the low table.

I originally intended to sit, but I ended up lying on the tatami mat without realizing it.

I was feeling drowsy and could barely keep my eyes open.

She struggled to support her body.

"I feel like taking a shower, and I really want to eat. I feel so uncomfortable, and I'm so hungry."

"You can't go to sleep now, or you'll be late for school."

She rolled around on the tatami mat, the cold floor feeling like it was coated with a layer of sticky glue.

Even a simple action like getting up was so difficult for Chiharu Tokisaka.

But I felt uncomfortable all over my body and couldn't bear it.

She reluctantly got up and walked towards the bathroom. After taking off her clothes and throwing them on the washing machine, the girl went inside.

She yawned, turned on the switch, and took a bath in the hot water.

Half sleepy and half tired, the girl casually applied some lotion as usual, rinsed off several times, and only turned off the shower when she felt refreshed and lighter.

After drying himself with a bath towel, he walked groggily to the low table.

Looking at the bento boxes and oden piled on the table, the girl hesitated for a moment.

"Do you want to eat now? But I'm so sleepy."

Should I sleep or eat?

She pondered, but the more she thought, the more her mind became like mush, and she couldn't muster any energy.

After hesitating for a moment, the girl finally made a decision.

"Let's go to sleep first."

She took out a quilt from the closet and casually spread it on the tatami mat. Tokisaka Chiharu curled up on it, covered with the quilt.

I had just lay down when I could no longer open my eyes.

I have no desire to eat anymore, not even the desire to move a finger.

She murmured, "I haven't set an alarm yet."

Struggling, I tried to open my eyes. But it felt like they were sewn together, and there was even a slight stinging pain when I tried to open them.

Struggling, straining.

But my body felt limp and I couldn't exert any force.

"Forget it, I'll just go to sleep."

After this thought crossed her mind, the girl fell into a deep sleep.

She had a terrible headache when she went to sleep.

Everything in my head felt like it was shaking and vibrating.

It hurts terribly.

With my eyes closed, it felt as if my body was spinning. My eyes were involuntarily closed tightly, my eyelids were being pulled and tugged by something invisible, as if it were trying to press them into my eyeballs.

"I know I absolutely cannot open my eyes right now. If I do, I'll never be able to fall back asleep."

"So, all you need to do is close your eyes."

The girl closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Before she knew it, she had indeed fallen asleep.

The pain and dizziness in my mind, and the fatigue and torment in my body, all disappeared.

The girl's expression changed from pain to calm, and even to happiness.

But this happiness lasted only a moment.

The girl looked uncomfortable due to hunger in her stomach, until she woke up again.

Chiharu Tokisaka felt much better, and the fatigue from staying up all night had disappeared.

I was just a little dazed, but then I saw how bright it was outside.

I was immediately startled.

"What time is it now?"

I quickly picked up my phone and saw that it was already 7:30.

"We're going to be late."

The girl immediately stood up, got dressed, and ran to wash up.

It took her about five minutes to manage to get herself clean.

My stomach was growling with hunger, so I reluctantly picked up a few skewers of oden and stuffed them into my mouth.

However, most of them were radish slices, which tasted pretty good at first, with a slightly subtle flavor.

But I'll definitely get hungry again soon.

But there was no time to eat anymore, so he quickly closed the door and ran out.

I rushed to catch the tram and barely made it into school at the last minute.

The PE teacher on duty today was very dissatisfied. He said, "You barely made it today, what about tomorrow? Remember to come earlier next time."

"I understand, teacher."

Chiharu Tokisaka lowered her head, looking as if she had admitted her mistake.

"Okay, you go to class."

Chiharu Tokisaka breathed a sigh of relief, ran into the school building, changed her shoes, and went to class.

As I walked into the classroom, the teacher, who was already preparing to start the lesson, gave a cold snort.

"Tokisaka-san, you're already late."

"Feel sorry."

Chiharu Tokisaka bowed deeply, almost at a ninety-degree angle.

She looked down at the shoes she had mistakenly put on, her long gray hair hanging down on both sides.

The girl was not resentful.

"Yes, I was late."

She kept her head down like that.

The teacher glanced at her and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"Alright, go back to your seat. Don't be late next time."

She waved, signaling Chiharu Tokisaka to return to her seat.

Chiharu Tokisaka breathed a sigh of relief; her position wasn't in the back or the front, but in the middle.

It's neither good nor bad.
