Chapter 99 Kagura mea who works part-time

After bidding farewell to everyone at the Manga Research Club, Ren Amamiya got on the train to Shibuya.

I still have to work part-time. It is too insecure to have only [-] yen in my hand when I am alone.

Although Yu Gonglian's current situation is strictly speaking not alone, but after all, she has separated from her parents and became independent. No matter what, she has to save some money to deal with emergencies, which is a habit she developed in her previous life.If it weren't for Vtuber's funding gap, he wouldn't have made himself like this.

Be prepared for the unexpected at all times, even if you pray that it never comes.

But now that we have passed the period when we are most short of money, we don't have to push ourselves so hard.

Today, Ren Amamiya will not go to the gyudon shop!

The person in charge got a three-day vacation last week because of the presence of Ren Amamiya. I hope he has not become unfamiliar with his work because of this.

After all, Ren Amamiya has a personal experience of the workload of that gyudon restaurant. To be honest, it is better to find a professional waiter honestly for that restaurant. The part-time workers are basically high school students and college students, so basically time and energy cannot be allocated.

The business is so good, why don't you want to choose a smarter way?Professionals become skilled workers after working for a long time, and the efficiency of improvement is not much higher than that of miscellaneous wage earners.

In any case, this is not something that Umiya Ren needs to consider.

Ren Amamiya's part-time job today is a convenience store in Shibuya, and he had already called to apply for the job in advance.

After getting off the tram, Ren Amamiya walked into the convenience store. There were still quite a lot of people at this time, but Ren Amamiya was not here to buy things, so she went straight to the cashier to find the clerk.

But when she walked to the cash register, Yu Gonglian was stunned.

"Hello, may I ask..." The cashier waiter in front of the counter was also stunned with Ren Amameiya.

White hair with double ponytails, yellow and blue pupils, not wearing the Misaka school uniform you usually see, but the work clothes of the convenience store - Kagura mea, only for part-time jobs.

She froze in place at this moment, with surprise and panic in her eyes, as if she was very shaken by the fact that Umiya Ren found out that she was working part-time.

"Hello, Kagura-san, I'm here today to apply for a clerk job. I've already contacted the store manager in advance. I don't know if you know about this matter." Seeing that the atmosphere didn't seem right, Ren Amamiya chatted directly about the business.

Ren Amamiya's words seemed to draw Kagura Mea's attention back a bit. The store manager is not in the store at this time, but I think the store manager did mention to her that there will be a student coming to work today.

"You...you go to the back and change into your work clothes first, and I will tell you about your work when you come out." Kagura Mea said very unnaturally.

Obviously she doesn't want to talk to Renta Amamiya, but compared to the negligible personal friendship that was accidentally connected because of Aqua, business affairs can still allow Kagura Mea to maintain normal communication.

As for the fact that she helped Yu Gonglian to some extent, Yu Gonglian also said that she would repay her.This kind of thing is treated as a scene, it's just answering a few irrelevant questions, how can I repay it?give money?

"I see." Ren Amamiya replied, and then followed the guidance of Kagura Mea to the inner room, and changed into the work clothes of the convenience store.

After coming out, Kagura Mea said to him with the prepared speech: "There are not many people in the store now, so you can just stroll around in the store and make a note of the location of the products. When replenishment is needed, the general products are on the shelves In the cabinet below, if you can’t find it, then come and ask me.”

In a place like Shibuya with a large flow of people, there is often not enough one person in a convenience store.Unlike a place like a gyudon shop, although the number of customers in a convenience store is not as scary as that of a gyudon shop, the services provided by a convenience store are much more complicated than a gyudon shop.

In Japan, a convenience store can basically meet 80% of people's consumption needs in daily life, including but not limited to printing and copying, ATM machines, seasonal fruits and vegetables, magazines and newspapers, card payment, etc.

If Ren Amamiya's guess is correct, Kagura Mea and the store manager should usually work together in the store, but today a second clerk was recruited, and the store manager gave himself a holiday.

Are all of your shops that recruit part-time workers so big-hearted?

It is true that on the one hand, there are old shop assistants who can rest assured, and the monitoring system can also prevent theft, but this kind of behavior of recruiting people to come over for a holiday is really powerless to complain.

There is a proverb that says that in Japan, if you can't throw away things, you can't throw away garbage.

Of course, I will not elaborate on the second half of this proverb here.

In short, Amamiya Ren and Kagura Mea are each responsible for their own positions, and the store is operating normally, and no one cares about the other for a while.

Kagura Mea simply rejected Amamiya Ren, but Amamiya Ren was aware of this rejection and did not intend to forcibly approach.

The store was quiet, except for the occasional voices of the two greeting customers.Even when she was free, Ren Amameiya would only stay by the entrance of the cash register instead of going in and standing there, an invisible sense of distance blocked the two of them.

As the evening passed and night fell, the number of customers in the store decreased significantly.

"Little girl, please settle the bill." A 40-year-old man in a suit came to the cashier and put a bag of rice balls, a can of beer and two pairs of socks on the cashier. "Ah! And this."

As he spoke, he took another pornographic magazine from his armpit.

"Eh?!" Kagura Mea stared blankly at the erotic magazine, subconsciously glanced at Ren Amamiya, and then turned back immediately, blushing. "Okay, okay, please wait a moment."

Embarrassed and in a hurry to sweep up all the goods on the table and pack them into bags, Kagura mea blushed the whole time to collect the payment and refund, tore off the receipt and handed it to the man in the suit with his head down.

The man in the suit was not surprised by her reaction, he looked like a veteran, took a look at the receipt, and said to Kagura Mea.

"Little girl, you scanned the magazine one more time."

"Eh?!" Kagura Mea seemed to be struck by lightning, and after his brain realized what happened, his hands shook, and he immediately took a step back and bowed to the other party. "I'm really sorry, I'll do it again right away."

But the second time, because of the nervousness brought about by the first mistake, Kagura Mea was even more flustered.

"Let me do it." A hand reached out and took away the bag containing the goods.

Ren Amamiya saw it from the side, so it's not a big problem, it's just that Kagura Mea was too flustered.After scanning the items again, Ren Amameiya took out an opaque bag, packed the erotic magazine separately, and returned the overcharged money just now.

"Sorry for wasting your time."

The uncle was not a bad person, he didn't embarrass them, he waved his hand to show that it was all right, took the things and left the store.

After the uncle left, Ren Amamiya and Kagura Mea stood together at the cash register, and the atmosphere was a bit dignified.

Chapter 100 Life is not easy

Kagura Mea's face remained flushed, and she froze there completely after Ren Amamiya took over her job. Fortunately, no customers came to check out at this time.

After paying the bill, Yu Gonglian pushed away, and she was also in the cash register, but kept a step away.

"That kind of magazine usually needs to be packed in an opaque bag for the customer after paying the bill. The uncle just didn't care much about it, but if there are younger customers coming to buy it, you still have to take this into consideration." Ren Amamiya pretended not to see Kagura Mea's entanglement and gaffe, and explained to her in a very normal tone.

Some convenience stores in Japan do sell erotic magazines openly, and they are placed outside openly, and you only need to be thick-skinned to take them to the checkout.Of course, if the face is too tender and you are suspected of being a minor, you can't buy it.

These are common things in countries where pornography is legal, but innocent teenagers and girls are not divided by nationality. In this world, there are JKs who dedicate their virgins to their seniors in their second year of high school, and there are also magicians who can maintain their virginity until they are 30 years old.

At this moment, the positions of Amamiya Ren and Kagura Mea seem to be reversed. Amamiya Ren is the one who has been working in the store for a while, and Kagura Mea is like a newcomer receiving guidance.

"The next time you encounter something like this, don't panic. It's the customers who should panic. Not everyone can buy that kind of magazine with the eyes of cute JK like the uncle just now. Would you feel more comfortable if you think about it this way? " Yu Gonglian continued to enlighten.

In fact, the current state of Kagura Mea only accounts for a very small part of the shyness of pornographic magazines.The main source of her embarrassment was that she was repelled by Ren Yugong in her heart, but she was relieved by the other party, and it was still in such a embarrassing matter.

Naturally, Ren Amamiya pretended not to see it, and his topic was locked on pornographic magazines from the beginning to the end, his tone was extremely flat, without any self-consciousness that he was also an underage, and it seemed that he had never noticed that Kagura Mea didn't like him Same.

"...Thank you, thank you." Kagura Mea said softly with a blushing face after being alone in her heart for a while. "I remember."

"How long have you been working in this store?" Amamiya Ren chatted casually.

"...About a week." Kagura Mea was silent for a few seconds, but answered Amamiya Ren's question. "But before you came, the cashier was mostly in charge of the store manager."

This was to explain why she couldn't handle the customers who came to buy porn magazines.

"Is that so? Kagura-san, you look very proficient at the cash register, and the location of the goods in the store is also very familiar. I thought it had been a long time, really amazing!"

"That's because I worked in a fast food restaurant before and have cash register experience." Kagura Mea said, and then seemed to think of something, and became sullen again. "However, it seems that because of the company's reasons, the store intends to recruit all employees, and will not recruit migrant workers."

She seemed to like her previous job quite a bit.

"Feel sorry."

"It's nothing." Kagura Mea shook her head, turned her head, and looked at Ren Amamiya squarely for the first time today. "There's no need to apologize for this kind of thing."

"Speaking of which, I wonder if classmate Minato mentioned my matter to you today?" This was referring to Ren Amamiya asking Akua Minato to thank him for him this morning.

"Ah? That fat..." Kagura Mea's face collapsed for a moment, and then stopped in time, turning her head to change her words with a blushing face. "If it's about saying thank you, that fellow Aqua has already told me."

"I originally planned to thank you in person, but usually there are few opportunities to meet each other. As a result, I just asked my classmate this morning, and I met here this afternoon. What a coincidence!" Amamiya Ren said with a smile. "Then, thank you, Kagura-san."

"...There is nothing to thank for such a thing." Kagura Mea felt very uncomfortable, and changed the subject. "Speaking of which, you seem to be very proficient in the work of the convenience store. Did you often work part-time before?"

"Actually, it's not very often. The family conditions are not very good, so I can only earn pocket money by myself." Yu Gonglian said after thinking. "So my part-time job is actually very casual, but also because of this, I have worked in many industries."

Japanese high school students can work part-time from the age of 16, and they can work until after 18 o'clock after the age of 22.For minors, 22 o'clock is similar to a curfew. Even those who work hard in cram schools have to go home at 22 o'clock.

"Eh?" Listening to Ren Amamiya's words, Kagura Mea suddenly realized that this guy was transferred from another school. If the family conditions are not good...is it a boarder?

"That is to say, while you are boarding at someone else's house, you go to school in the morning and work in the evening, and you still have to do Vtuber activities after you go back?" Kagura Mea was so surprised that she even forgot her social barriers, looking at Ren Amamiya and said.

"Ah, that's roughly the case." Yu Gonglian admitted with a light smile.

There was that uncomfortable feeling again.

Kagura Mea looked at Ren Amamiya, hesitant to speak.

what?He is obviously a juvenile delinquent and a boarder, taking care of his studies, and his parents are not around.It's so difficult, and it's hard to protect yourself, why can you say something like protecting others?

Obviously such an experience should become a dark corner more than anyone else.

As a result, such a person is shining all the time, making those who call themselves shadows feel ashamed.

That's why I hate him!Just standing in front of him, such a guy seemed to be reminding himself all the time that he was really terrible.

"Amiya...kun." Kagura Mea looked at Amamiya Ren complicatedly. "Don't you have any complaints about your life now?"

"Eh?" Yu Gonglian was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing. "Impossible not."

"However, I don't know if you can understand this, but in fact, at the very beginning, I came here with the awareness that my life would become ten times worse than it is now." Yu Gonglian leaned on the back On the shelf, laughing softly. "It turned out to be much better than I thought..."

Ten times worse?

Kagura Mea feels that Amamiya Ren is talking big.
