Chapter 4 part 1
After such an awkward incident, I changed into my uniform and went back to the manager.
"It looks good on you!"
"Kakeru-kun, you look so cool in this uniform."
Although, It was a little embarrassing, I was happy to receive compliments from the manager and Kurusu-san.
"…"
It was a beautiful woman who was called Hishinuma-san.
She seems to hold a grudge over what happened earlier and is now glaring at me.
Damn, how can I get out of this mess?
It is my first day at work and my relationship with her has been damaged.
I knew that if I didn't fix this soon, it would be a problem for my future work.
Thinking this, I walked up to Hishinuma-san.
Though she was annoyed, she opened her mouth, saying: "What do you have to say to me?
"You looked pretty good in your underwear."
"Oh, really? I'm glad you liked it… wait, I didn't ask you about that!"
To please her, I gave a good amount of flattery.
Though I complimented her, she became angry.
"You don't feel sorry at all, do you?"
"Oh, no. It's not that. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me… And if possible make it quick please."
"Y-you don't feel sorry at all!"
I don't know why, but when I see this person giving me such a cute reaction, I kind of enjoy it. I want to play with her more.
Could it be that I'm an S?
(TL: S means 'Sadist')
However, Seeing her becoming even more depressed, I quickly bowed my head and apologized.
This time I did ask for an apology earnestly.
"I'm sorry, I'll erase it from my memory completely, so please forgive me. Please."
"Well, I'm not a demon either…. As you're apologizing to me this much, I'll forgive you. But I don't want you to completely forget about it…. I'm wearing my favorite underwear today."
"Then, let me burn that scene into my memory!"
"Ecchi! Pervert!"
What an unreasonable girl she is? Even though I said I would remember because she didn't want me to forget.
Well, compared to Sarasa's. this level of unreasonableness is so cute
When the manager saw us, he came up to us laughing.
"Haha, you've become quite good friends, haven't you"
"Manager! Please don't make fun of me!"
"No, not really."
"Yes, Don't be shy!"
For some reason, I feel comfortable around her.
It's like we've been friends for a long time.
Well, the only decent friend I have is Kurusu-san because Sarasa-san has always got in my way saying I should only talk to her and no one else.
I turned around to see what was wrong with Kurusu-san. I found her just finishing her order.
"Eh? Are you leaving already?"
"Hmm? Well, I'm busy with some other things so I will be leaving quickly."
By the way, Kurusu-san also said she had a part-time job.
Despite that, she took her time for me. She's a really nice girl.
"I'll treat you to a green tea parfait tomorrow as thanks."
"Really? Do you promise? Then I'll see you tomorrow."
With a smile, Kurusu-san left the store.
I'm not sure if it's because I'm usually so apathetic, but I can't help but feel nervous when I see her smile.
She is usually lethargic and rarely shows a smile on her face. It somewhat makes me feel nervous.
"Well then, Kiryu-kun. May I have a quick word?"
"Yes, manager."
"Hmmm… Your trainer…. Yes, Hishinuma-san, I would like you to be his trainer."
"Ah, Me?"
Probably because of the sudden mention of her name, Hishinuma-san's eyes widened and she sounded flustered.
Her reaction made me feel a little hurt.
"What? You don't like him?"
"I didn't mean that I don't like him, I mean…
"Oh my god, you were just playing with me again…"
"Huh, you just realized that? Yes, I was playing with you… and why would I do that?"
"Can you please not say anything weird?"
"Ha-ha-ha! You both look perfect together. I think you're going to be okay. Then I'll be counting on you."
"Hey, manager!"
The manager laughed and retreated into the backyard, leaving Hishinuma-san and me alone in the store.
She looked uncomfortable, so I had no choice but to open my mouth to try to lighten the mood.
"It's just the two of us… let's get to know each other, okay?"
