âIâm thinking of getting a part-time job so I can buy a birthday present for Yuzuru-san.â
Arisa said this to Ayaka, Chiharu and Tenka.
The four of them were just in the middle of a girlsâ after-school gathering.
The three of them widened their eyes at the sudden words of Arisa.
âWow, thatâs nice. What are you going to do?â
âNo, I havenât decided what to do⊠yet.â
Arisa answered Ayakaâs question with a bit of embarrassment.
She didnât have the determination and ability to take action to decide on a part-time job as soon as she decided to try it.
âYeah, I donât really understand. Are the prices of the gift so high that your allowance is not enough?ăOr do you want to use your own money for the gifts?â
âWell⊠itâs the latter.â
The allowance system varies from family to family, and the expenses also vary from family to family.
In the case of Arisaâs family, the money was given separately for each use.
In other words, if she wanted to spend money, she had to tell them what she wanted to spend it on and how much she wanted to spend, and then she had to get it each time.
âBy managing my allowance⊠I can understand buying the birthday gift for Yuzuru-san with the money I got from my parents⊠But, how should I say it⊠Asking for money to buy a gift for Yuzuru-san just does not feel right⊠That does not seem like a gift from me⊠or something like that.â
It was not strange for high school students to buy gifts with the money they receive from their parents.
Of course, there were some high school students who had part-time jobs, but there were also many who didnât or couldnât because of school rules.
So that in itself was not a bad thing at all, butâŠ
Itâs just that âgetting money from your parents to buy giftsâ was too direct, and made one feel uncomfortable.
The high school that Arisa and her friends attend was a private preparatory school.
It was a school for children from reasonably well-off families.
Therefore, there were basically no students who had to work part-time due to hardships in their lives, and this was not expected of them.
âAh, thatâs right. Iâve been wondering about that too, so Iâve looked into it. I heard that if you get permission, you can do it as long as it doesnât interfere with your studies.ăItâs a bit crude, isnât it?â
âOh, I didnât know that. Well, our school rules are loosely governed, so I thought it would be something like that.â
Ayaka and Chiharu shrugged their shoulders.
The school rules of their high school were very loose and⊠liberal at best, and at worst they were famous for being perfunctory.
âThe skirt is too short⊠For everyone.â
Arisa nodded to Tenkaâs complaint.
âThatâs right⊠If the school rules are so liberal, it would not be surprising if some of the skirts were longer than others. Everybody keeps it short, right? Well, it is not something I can sayâŠâ
Arisa glanced over to check her skirt length.
Normally, it doesnât bother her too much because sheâs used to it, but after a vacation, she starts to think like, âHuh? Is it a little short?â.
âIf you think so, Arisa-san. Why donât you make it longer?ăItâs immodest, you know.â
âOh my, if you think so⊠Itâs fine for Tenka-san to also make it longer, okay? âŠWell, I donât plan to change the length because I donât want to stand out thoughâŠâ
Arisa didnât keep it short because she liked it.
Of course, she didnât hate it either⊠but she just keeps it short because everyone else was keeping it short.
âOnce your eyes get used to it⊠I feel like if itâs long, it looks kind of boorish.â
âIt gives a feeling like âWow, youâre too stiff!â â
Ayaka and Chiharu agreed with her.
Even though the school rules were free in principle, it was precisely because they were free that they felt that they had to adapt to the atmosphere of the school.
All four of them were admirably âJapaneseâ when it came to such sensibilities.
âSomehow, it seems like we went off-topic⊠Was it about Arisaâs part-time job? Um, something like what kind of part-time job should she get or something like that?â
âThatâs right. I was wondering what kind of work is best suited for me. Iâd like to hear your opinion for reference.â
Arisa nodded to Ayakaâs question.
Of course, if the part-time job was not suitable for you, it was possible to quit⊠But, it was only for the sake of conversation.
âHow about customer service jobs? I heard they hire people by face for part-time jobs?â
Arisa smiled vaguely at Tenkaâs suggestion.
âYeah⊠I donât really like⊠talking to strangersâŠâ
âArisa-chan is a little bit gloomy at times I guess.â
âEven though her hair looks very Parisian.â
âIâm sorry for being a gloomy person. Also, this is my natural hair.â
Arisa glared at Ayaka and Chiharu, who kept saying things as they pleased.
She did not deny it, perhaps because she was aware of her own gloomy nature.
âWhy donât we just ask Yuzurun to introduce you to his part-time job place?â
âWell, that might be the safest way⊠But I wanted to make it a surprise if possible.â
Arisa answered Ayakaâs question.
She wanted to work secretly and surprise Yuzuru⊠That was Arisaâs desire.
âIâm a good cook, so I was wondering if I could try the kitchen work⊠What do you think?â
Ayaka, Tenka and Chiharu replied to Arisaâs remark.
âIâm sure you can do it⊠But most part-time kitchen work in restaurants involves microwaving, right?â
âMaybe that is what you are good at, but to be honest, to make the most out of Arisaâs characteristics⊠If I was the manager, I would put you in the hall staff. It feels like there would be more customers.â
âIâll become a regular if Arisa-san entertains me. Guhehehe.â
â⊠I definitely donât want to serve people like Chiharu-san thoughâ
Arisa said this with a furtive glance at Chiharu, who let out an unpleasant laugh.
However, contrary to her intentions, the three of them started to talk about what kind of restaurant they would have Arisa serve at.
âMaybe a pub would be nice. You know, since she got fancy hair.â
âSince sheâs the gloomy type, I think she might get worn out⊠How about a coffee shop?â
âIf itâs a coffee shop, a maid coffee shop would be nice!ăLetâs make it a maid cafe!ăIâll go there. Iâll take you home as well!â
On the other hand, Arisa fantasized, âIf itâs in front of Yuzuru-san, it might not be a bad idea to wear a maidâs uniformâ âŠthen she hurriedly tightened her expression.
âPlease stay away from customer service!â
At Arisaâs words, the three of them looked at each other with an âEhhh..â expressionâŠ
At this point, Ayaka came up with another idea.
âHow about making your debut as a cooking YouTuber?ăYouâre good at cooking!â
It was no longer a part-time job.
However, Chiharu and Tenka were very excited to talk about it.
âItâs a good idea. You can use your cooking skills⊠More importantly, you have a good face, so Iâm sure youâll get more views!â
âLetâs have you wear maid uniforms as well!ăIâm sure youâll get a lot of buzz.â
âIf weâre going to go that far, why donât you wear some virgin killer outfit?ăI would want to subscribe to your channel!â
âThatâs gonna get a million views for sure.â
âI want to do a lot of spam chat!ăLetâs make your debut!ăIâll get you the clothes! Guhehehe~â
On the other hand, Arisa tilted her head.
ââŠVirgin killer clothes?ăWhatâs that?â
âLike this sweater.â
Ayaka showed Arisa the screen of her cell phone.
After a while, Arisaâs face turned bright red.
âE,ehh!ăIs there such a thing?ăNo, no, but you can see everything from the side with thisâŠâ.
Arisaâs eyes darted around.
And as she imagined herself wearing this⊠making her face redder and redder.
âIs that a no, Arisa-san?â
âOf course it is! To begin with⊠Yuzuru-san wonât be happy that Iâm making money with these clothes!â
The three of them nodded in agreement with Arisaâs correct opinion.
âSurely⊠this is half NTR, right?â
âYuzuru-kunâs brain is going to be destroyedâŠâ
âIs that so?ăIf I were in Yuzuru-sanâs position, I would be rather excitedâŠâ
âNo, he wonât. Yuzuru-san is not that perverted.â
Arisa strongly denied the statement made by Chiharu at the end.
But then Chiharu clapped her hands.
âOr so I was thinking, but if youâre going to wear a virgin killer outfitâŠâ
âI wonât wear it, though!â
Arisa tried to forcefully interrupt Chiharuâs words, but Chiharu didnât stop.
âIf youâre going to wear it anyway, donât you think Yuzuru-san will be happier if you kill his virginity with virgin killer clothes, instead of trying to make money or something?â
Killing a virgin with clothes that kill virgins.
At first, Arisa couldnât understand what it meant, and she tilted her head, butâŠ
âWh-wh-wha, what are you talking about! S-such lewd things.!!â
Arisa shouted loudly⊠and then looked around the store in a panic.
Realizing that she was attracting attention, Arisa cowered a little.
Then she glared at the three of them.
âI was an idiot to ask for help from you all⊠Iâm going to consult with Yuzuru-san straightforwardlyâŠ!â
Then, the three of them may or may not have gone to a lot of trouble to fix Arisaâs sulky moodâŠ
