Around two weeks have passed in order for life in the sharehouse to calm down, my classes to start and my life cycle to also settle down.
School was fun, living together was lively, and I had no complaints. Except for one thing, there was something I wanted to do.
I had no money.
I wasn’t rich ten years in the future as a working adult, but it’s different now as a student. I more or less receive an allowance, but it’s unreliable to say I could use money freely. So, I decided to work a part-time job.
Nonetheless, I wasn’t going to do anything hard. Well, I did contact the neighborhood convenience store and brought along my resume—
“Welcome!”
Despite it being late at night, the clerk who greeted me with a smile was someone I recognized.
“Eh, w-why did you come here?”
Her business smile instantly changed into a “yuck” sort of expression.
“Back at you Nanako, why are you wearing a uniform…..?”
The convenience chain store, Dawson, had many stores in Western Japan. 1
Of course, many of them exist around Oogei, and many of them recruit students part-time.
“Haha…… to think that not only our boarding house, but even our job location follows the same pattern……”
Strangely, Nanako was murmuring.
“Eh, then umm, Nanako also works here?”
“As you can see. Today marks exactly one week, I think.”
It hasn’t been long since she moved, but she moved faster, or rather, she’s a person to take action……
“……This isn’t the place to talk. Y’know what, listen up.”
“W-what……?”
“The owner here is Isokazu Maeda-san. You heard it when you called, right?”
“Probably. I think it was that gramps.”
“He’s 78 years old this year. He was born when his father was 51 years old so he’s, Isokazu-san.” 2
“Hee.”
“But who cares!”
Nanako retorted herself.
“So, today the schedule was for the owner and I to come in, but as you can see, it’s only me right now.
“Perhaps…… his health is bad due to his old age, something like that?”
Before I had finished speaking, Nanako quietly struck my shoulder. “If you can tell that much, change into the uniform in the back room and join me here! Over!”
“Hey, I get it, so don’t pull me, Nanako!”
Just like that, I was forcibly dragged into the back room.
