Job first day!

"We are here! They will be here shortly, so while we wait, I will explain what I will be asking you to do for us, which will be your main task." Given that he will not have much time to rest after this, Aoki Takashi called Kazuma to take a seat beneath the fan and asked him to work according to a proper schedule.

"Relax when instructed to do so and disregard all other considerations; your only responsibility is to pay close attention to my instructions. You just have to listen to me because there are lots of people who will try to use you in their own ways."

Even though he did not feel particularly worn out, Kazuma nodded and decided it was okay to take a rest when the door to the room opened and three girls and two previous female managers who had served as examiners at the audition entered.

"Yuki, Yuri, and Mai, go meet Kazuma-kun, your new assistant manager." Trinity, a well-known idol group that has become very popular among teenagers, is managed by Ayumi Fujimoto, a senior employee and female manager.

According to rumors, the three girls are regarded as geniuses in their field and have a sizable fan base. Aoki-san informed Kazuma of this information for his general knowledge and to ensure that he at least knew who he would be working for.

"Hmm! Good morning! It is nice to meet you guys!"

Kazuma made an attempt to introduce himself as he looked at the girl with blond hair in the middle, the second, who had blue hair and was sitting at the entrance, and the third, who had red hair, who was staring at him from behind the girl with blond hair.

"You girls!" Kazuma was beginning to feel uncomfortable during the silent period when the lady manager coughed while glaring at them.

"Yuki!" Along with the red-haired girl who introduced herself as Hana Kimura and Yuri, who was still sitting on the back and had the same expression as before, the blonde-haired girl spoke in a light tone.

'Wow! This is going to be awkward for sure!' This is going to be one heck of a day, Kazuma thought as he observed the group.

Aoki then came over and patted Kazuma on the shoulder, but his trembling shoulder revealed how much he was laughing at the situation.

As soon as they finished the introduction, they began to pack up, and Aoki was asked to help Kazuma with a few items. Aoki was astounded to see Kazuma pick up those heavy objects with no effort at all.

'Muscle head...' Since none of them had a conversation, no one among them had a good understanding of Kazuma's nature.

Yuri pointed at Kazuma and spoke in the other two girls' ears, who turned to look at Kazuma and felt the same.

'This is hard...' After working for the next two hours, during which Kazuma was required to remove numerous heavy objects and assist Aoki in organizing various items, they were finally prepared to begin the photo shoot, which served as the day's primary assignment.

While the arrangements were being made, Yuri, Hana, and Yuki were placed to sleep in the moving locomotive's living room with other amenities like an air conditioner.

"Kazuma-kun, that is all, and you should go rest with the girls. You can also find juice inside the refrigerator, so have some and relax." Aoki found that Kazuma was almost done with all the work and thought how Kazuma had been a big help for him, so he decided to let him rest.

Ayumi, who was called along with another boy idol group, appeared to be okay with it as well and nodded before she began working with the other Manager.

Since today's theme required their group to collaborate with the females and promote a new line of clothing produced by a well-known brand, "Okay! Thanks boss!" Returning to the locomotive, Kazuma waited outside in silence for a moment before knocking on the door and entering.

"Oh! You are done with the workload."

Yuri was changing into new clothes when Kazuma entered the room, but she appeared to be nearly finished and seemed surprised to see him.

The fact that her waist was still exposed and a small portion of her bra was visible to him made Kazuma think that this kind of scene would work best in a novel about a lucky perv.

However, at this moment, he will undoubtedly lose his job if the girl gets angry. However, based on the way she looked at him and pulled her top down, it did not appear that she was angry.

"Oh! Right, don't mind it, alright; I am not angry or anything."

Before Kazuma could respond, the girl spoke, grinning and acting very casually as she did so, then turned to knock on the door on the opposite side, where Yuki appeared to be getting ready.

"Yuki! Kazuma is outside, so you should come out after you're done changing your clothes."

Yuri's words were accompanied by a protracted exclamation that came from the opposite side as she spoke loudly.

"Huh! Did he peek at you, Yuri?"

"No, he did not, and he even knocked on the door! So, just finish changing up!"

"I see. Then just wait; I will be out, and we will go out together." With Yuri's words, the other side appeared to have calmed down, and Kazuma turned to look at Yuri before speaking quietly.

"Thanks; I will also help you out someday!" Yuri gave a simple nod before settling down on the bed, not taking it seriously.

"You are here for rest, right? Then just sit down a little." She asked him to come sit next to her, called him over, and looked at the air conditioner before lowering the temperature.

"You are very strong! How can you pull such a heavy weight?" As they appeared to be conversing, Kazuma came to understand that Yuri was not the cold type of girl but rather the shy type of girl, and that her initial cold attitude was a result of her shy nature.

In contrast, she has a wonderful personality, is gregarious, and has a few peculiarities of her own.

"Hmm! I was being bullied, and for resisting beating, I worked hard in physique, I guess, but it is because of my weak personality that I still tend to be a little coward."

Kazuma shook his head as he remembered his previous host's personality and how it had caused him to still experience muscle cramps when faced with fear.

This is typically caused by so-called muscle memories, which are difficult to change over a short period of time and are more like a body's protective mechanism against harm. They are also very difficult to treat.

"Then just rely on someone." When Yuki heard them talking, she realized that Kazuma had his own problems and that, in contrast to them, he was full of flaws.

Despite this, he had the courage to discuss them, as she thought it was a wonderful thing. In contrast to them, they must always pretend to be of the good type and conceal all of their flaws.

"Yuki-san." As he considered how his former self had undoubtedly isolated himself from others, Kazuma smiled and turned to face her.

"You are right about it!"

"Then it will be best to make some friends, Kazuma-kun." Along with Yuki, who only glanced at him while feeling a little chilly as usual, Yuri also spoke as they left the locomotive room.

Yuki continued as they left alone.

"Okay then! Let's go!" The boys idol group appeared to be already there when Kazuma left the room and followed them as they made their way to the shopping area where their photo shoot would begin.

"Star wave." The boys idol group went by that name, and all five members were extremely well-known, with the exception of Kazuma, who had no idea who any of the other four idols were.

Aoki therefore wanted to make sure that Kazuma knew about them, but he was unable to locate Kazuma, and by the time he did, the Female manager, Ayumi, had already called Kazuma and they were conversing with the other group staff member.

"Yo! buddy..." As one of the assistants from the opposing side approached Kazuma, the latter responded by smiling and extending his hand for a handshake.

They then had a brief discussion about each other's jobs and other topics, but Kazuma was not particularly interested because the group of idols was also talking, and Hana was not having much fun with the boys.

Hana appeared to be grinning and hiding behind Yuki, who was also perplexed by the situation because Hana was always standing behind her when she spoke.

"You see, that is why our group was thinking of... Eh, Oi!" The man was astounded as he watched Kazuma, with whom he was conversing, move toward the opposing group and wondered if he had bored him with all of their argumentative banter.

The man then followed Kazuma.

"Hana-san, it is time for that; maybe the manager will be waiting for you now." The girl turned to look at Kazuma with admiration as she followed him after he spoke words with ambiguous meaning and only indicated that she had a connection to Manager.

In response, Kazuma just sighed quietly to himself and turned to remove Hana from there as Yuri and Yuki glared at him as if asking him to assist them as well.

After all, if he had brought the other two, he would have been specifically targeted by the idols, whose motivation for chit-chatting with the girls was very obvious.

'Hmm! There might be a way!' Thinking that, he took Hana toward Aoki-san, who was talking with someone, and when he saw Hana and Kazuma together, he just ended his conversation and walked toward them.

"Kazuma-kun, thank you." After avoiding Kazuma for some time, Hana turned to face him and thanked him for his assistance. Kazuma did not say anything; he just grinned and shook his head.

"Hmm! Did you help her out or something?" Aoki was able to see through it and grinned as he considered how Kazuma was finally beginning to function as a team after such a lengthy absence.

"Aoki-manager, may I ask your assistance? I need to call the other two girls; will you please give me one of their numbers?" He had an idea as soon as he thought about their glare, so he asked Aoki-san for her phone number and proceeded to call them all back here.

By doing this, he would avoid their notice directly and give them an excuse to return too.

"Hello!" When the girl on the other line answered the call and started talking as soon as he dialed, Kazuma told them to use the justification so that they would both realize it was him.

"Hmm! You finally remember to help us too, Huh!" Before ending the call and informing the guys that they had something, Yuri let out a snort before returning to their side.

At first, she appeared to be extremely silent and enraged. After a while, Yuki simply turned to face Kazuma and said, "Thank you," before turning and leaving.

When Yuki left, Yuri did not express his gratitude to him directly but instead just grinned at him, which to Kazuma seemed like a good response given that they are now starting to recognize him among the group.

'That is also fine, it seems.' Kazuma thought...
