Chapter 119: Working Hard Is Great



The secret to customer service is surely a smile. Customers will be happy if they are greeted by a smiling waiter.

"I'll be back soon! I'm so happy to see you! Thank you very much!"

Yuzuriha's eyes were dead as she greeted her guests in her maid swimsuit. The highlights are gone and it's all black and darkness. And her smile is extremely hard.

"Hey Kanata. Is that girl okay? Is her head buggy?"

Kekai-senpai looked at Yuzuriha with pitying eyes. I think I probably have the same look in my eyes.

"Yeah, I guess she is shy, so I guess she got the bug today."

From a moment ago, Yuzuriha just repeated the words "Welcome" in front of the store like a broken radio. I can only imagine the effect of calling out to her.

"I mean, I wish you wouldn't just stand there and take orders or serve food."

"But it seems like if I do that, I get all stiff. Hahaha!"

"Then at least let me hand out flyers. You can go with me, you know."

Kekai-senpai has been working diligently for a while now, and so have I. Yuzuriha is only escaping reality in the name of calling out. If this continues, it won't be a part-time job. I nodded at Kekai-senpai's suggestion and approached Yuzuriha.

"Ah, Kanata? irassyaimase-!yakisobasukidesuka-?kakigoori is there too!"

You're seriously buggered out of your mind when you're giving me, your co-worker, a welcome with dead eyes.

"Yuzuriha. Let's go hand out flyers with me first."

"Flyers...? A piece of sushi flyer! A lot of rusty sushi! With a lot of gari!"

"Your head is too buggy! Here you go! I'm not here to hand out sushi flyers, I'm here to hand out flyers!"

I pulled Yuzuriha by the hand.


















[Hagiri's POV]

I like lounges in international airports. Only selected high class people are allowed to use these lounges. Even a cup of instant coffee, which is not much to look at, smells superb here. Of course, I never fail to take selfies. After adjusting the angle of my tie, I take a picture of myself sitting proudly on the sofa with my phone.

"Hagiri. Is this overhang really necessary?"

Tomoe is sitting on the couch across from me. Unlike me, who is in a suit, she is in normal clothes. I feel uncomfortable in her attire. In the past, when I went abroad, Tomoe was always dressed up when she came to see me off. I was a little annoyed by her nonchalant attitude.

"I need it. It is inevitable that the king of Mirisha in Brazil will challenge the sacrifice before me. So I have to do a little work first. As long as I can hold off Anatolia's 'fluctuation on the occasion,' the King of Mirisha's chances of success will be greatly reduced."

"You don't have to do any tricks. Hagiri. I don't think that's what the king we used to admire would do."

"We will use any means to achieve our dreams. Isn't that the way it should be?"

I was irritated by Tomoe's description of what it means to be a king. I was the one who had originally made her dream of gaining kingship, and now Tomoe was trying to talk about even the good and bad of that dream?

"Small tricks won't work against a king who can preside over sacrifices. On the other hand, if the king is able to play tricks, he cannot preside over the sacrifices in the first place. You should just leave them alone. You don't have to be so busy. I don't like it, Hagiri. Right now Hagiri is like a child biting his nails to cover up his insecurities."

"I'm not a child. I'm an adult now."

"Hagiri. We are still college students. We're not fully grown up yet. Hey. Please stay in Japan this summer. Let's have a good time together. Don't be in a hurry, Hagiri is working hard enough. I'm sure your dream will come true..."

"Dreams don't come true without doing anything! They only become a reality when you die for them!"

I throw the coffee cup I'm holding toward Tomoe's feet. The cup broke and the coffee stained her shoes black.

"Hagiri...."

Tomoe is supposed to be a weak woman. She should be trembling if I do this, but she just stares at me with sad eyes. I hate those eyes. The eyes of someone who looks at me should have nothing but admiration. It was unpleasant. It was extremely uncomfortable. I got up from the sofa. There was still time before the flight. But I couldn't stay here any longer.

"Wait, Hagiri. Hagiri. I know you're working hard ... I know everything..."

What does she know? What does Tomoe know about me? She knows the dream I have to achieve. But that doesn't mean she understands me. I'm not the kind of man that women pity. I turn my back on Tomoe and head for the boarding gate. The world is waiting for me. There is no reason for me to be here anymore.




























"Haa, you just want to run away ... weakling..."









































The beach was crowded with people in summer. I assembled the sign I was holding in my hand and put it up on the beach.

"Okay, Yuzuriha! Let's hand out flyers!"

"Handing out flyers...! Ancient marketing...! Kanata, I have a proposal!"

"Eh? What kind of proposal?"

"The AI algorithm I've created will create effective and exciting advertising effects on SNS!"

Yuzuriha pulls her phone out of her cleavage and shows me the screen. She smiles the smile she gives me when a smart idiot comes up with something stupid.

"This AI app will send all sorts of advertising information, including excellent behavioral guidance, to the social networking accounts that people on this beach have! Customers will naturally rush to the store!"

"Heh? That's great. What does it mean?"

Well, I already have an inkling of what Yuzuriha is trying to say.

"That's why I'm insisting that we can achieve customer attraction using the latest scientific methods, not the classic methods of handing out flyers!"

"Yuzuriha, I know exactly what you mean!"

"That's why, Kanata! So you don't have to hand out flyers..."

It is a real fool's errand to use cutting-edge science just because you don't want to hand out flyers. I don't approve of such cheats!

"That's no good. I'm trying to be a guy who doesn't understand, so I love to force girls to do hard labor,."

"Kanata's anti-corporate! A demon animal! You are so badass that I shudder! Ugh! I've got to do it..."

With a thud, Yuzuriha held the flyer in her hand while her shoulders slumped. Then a group of what looked like college girls approached us.

"Oh. I think that group is good, don't you? Go hand them the flyer. I'll be watching over you!"

"Kanata..! I understand. Please watch over them! I'm off!"

Yuzuriha awkwardly approached the group of college girls. She walked past them. Then the group of college girls walked past us.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

"Kanata. I feel like those kids are a little out of sync with our clientele. Flyers are a limited and precious resource, right? I don't see the point in handing them out to people who don't seem to be coming, do you?"

"That's a very lame excuse for being so smart! Come on! Satsuma Ogojo! There's nothing to be afraid of! I'm just passing out flyers!"

"But Kanata! What if they reject the flyer? That's like that, isn't it? It's like confessing a love to someone and getting rejected!"

"You don't need such heartbreaking resolve to hand out flyers! Here comes another group of girls, so go!"

I gently pushed Yuzuriha's back. Yuzuriha went near to the group of girls again, but I let her pass by. But this time was a little different. She stood in front of a boy of elementary school age who was nearby.

"Hey? How are you doing? Would you like to have fun at my place? Ahaha."

She handed the flyer to the boy, twisting her body and bouncing her tits. The boy turned red and stared at Yuzuriha. Ah ... so this is how boys awaken to eroticism....

"I did it, Kanata! I've given him the flyer!"

Yuzuriha is smiling very proudly. It's cute, so I pat her on the head, just in case.

"Why did you give it to a kid?"

"Well, I thought that a child smaller than myself ... wouldn't be hurt if he refused the flyer..."

Chicken-heart!

"But Kanata! I! I just woke up! Handing out flyers isn't something to be scared of!

"I see...that's fine then."

But that boy from earlier must have had her proclivities twisted into a mess. In the future, he will probably indulge in the sinful practice of being a spectacled boob maniac. Well, all men are like that, so it doesn't matter. From then on, Yuzuriha became a little tough. She desperately handed out flyers to a group of girls. Even if they refused to take her flyers, she wasn't discouraged and kept handing out flyers.

"Kanata..! The flyers! Not a single flyer left!

"Oh! You did it! Yuzuriha, you're amazing! You did great!"

I cheer on Yuzuriha. I patted her head a lot. Yuzuriha looked happy and hugged me tightly.

"Hehehe. I did my best!"

This is how we managed to do the flyer distribution.









Small story: Company's Name


Suo "As for the name of the company, as it is a front company of the Tokiwa group, it would be best to use a name with appropriate dignity, wouldn't it?"

Kanata "We are not a front company. Well, I don't want to interfere with the name of the company. Do what you want."

Suo "Is that so? Then ... there is one name I would like to give you."

Kanata "What's name?"

Suo "Obrigada Inc."

Kanata "Obrigada? That's Portuguese for "thank you" in women's language. That's nice. It's cute."

Suo "Obrigada. Fufufu. This company is made up of thanks to you..."











I returned to the beach house after distributing flyers. The store was crowded with people.

"Okay. Let's keep the momentum going and have Yuzuriha level up. Go get the orders."

"Orders...! Kanata. I think it's a good idea to make a business decision to DX-ize here..."

"A beach house where machines take orders is a wicked idea! Forget the excuses, just go!"

I push Yuzuriha's back. And then Yuzuriha went to the table where a group of adult ladies were sitting.

"Go, go, go ... how do you like it?"

Amazing! She put in the order from the first shot! She's growing so much!

"Ahaha. Well, I'll have three fresh ones, yakisoba, sausage, and squid pancakes, please."

I couldn't see the customer's face from the kitchen where I was, but it seemed that an order had been placed. And Yuzuriha nodded her head, heard the order from the customer, and came closer to me in the kitchen.

"I got your order! Here's your order! Kanata!"

"I see. Then tell me what you ordered."

I know what's in there because I've been listening in, but I'll ask just the same.

"Yes, yes! Let's see, I think ... hmm. Huh? Huh!"

Yuzuriha looked at the order sheet as if troubled. There was nothing written there. It's a common thing in part-time job, but sometimes you forget to write down your order because you are so busy listening to the orders, right?

"Calm down. I'm sure Yuzuriha's head will remember everything."

"Well, let's see. That's! Ha! I remember! The order is! Raw yakisoba! Raw sausage! Raw squid yakisoba!"

"The raw ones are falling apart and sticking to the other ones!"

It seems that Yuzuriha was so nervous that she became a clunker. Well, it's the first time for her, so it might be like this. I quickly prepared the food ordered and put three pints of draft beer on the tray.

"There are a lot of dorms, so let's take them with us."

"Thank you!"

Yuzuriha and I approach the group of sisters. They were all wearing flashy swimsuits. Among them, there was one who stood out from the crowd. It was a one-piece swimsuit, but her back was cut boldly, and the skin on her back looked glamorous. The front of her swimsuit was also open from her navel to her chest. She has large breasts, but the design of the swimsuit is very sexy, as she dares to show them off without creating any cleavage. Her wavy brown hair is also very sexy.

"Excuse me. Can have your order. ...Huh?"

"Yes. Thank you ... Eh?"

I made eye contact with a lady in a fancy bathing suit. I was acquainted with that beautiful woman.

"Kirin-san? What are you doing here?"

The two of us were in perfect synch with each other, and our lines were in sync with each other's. It was the first time I learned that the summer sun brings such interesting coincidences.









***Author's musings***



I definitely don't want to eat raw yakisoba.

But when it's your first part-time job, you tend to make mistakes like this.

Yuzuriha-chan, who is getting used to the rough and tumble of the society, was a cute chapter in my opinion.

By the way, Hagiri escaped abroad, so he doesn't appear in the summer edition at all!

Yeay!
